New Math
New Mathematics or New Math was a brief, dramatic change in the way mathematics was taught in American grade schools, and to a lesser extent in European countries, during the 1960s. The name is commonly given to a set of teaching practices introduced in the U.S. shortly after the Sputnik crisis in order to boost science education and mathematical skill in the population so that the perceived intellectual threat of Soviet engineers, reputedly highly skilled mathematicians, could be met.
Modern exercises[edit]
Mathematicians describe interesting objects with set-builder notation. Under the stress of Russian engineering competition, American schools began to use textbooks based on set theory. For example, the process of solving an algebraic equation required a parallel account of axioms in use for equation transformation. To develop the concept of number, non-standard numeral systems were used in exercises. Binary numbers and duodecimals were new math to the students and their parents. Teachers returning from summer school could introduce students to transformation geometry. If the school had been teaching Cramer's rule for solving linear equations, then new math may include matrix multiplication to introduce linear algebra. In any case, teachers used the function concept as a thread common to the new materials.
Philosopher and mathematician W.V. Quine wrote that the "rarefied air" of Cantorian set theory was not to be associated with the New Math. According to Quine, the New Math involved merely..."the Boolean algebra of classes, hence really the simple logic of general terms."[1]
It was stressed that these subjects should be introduced early. The idea behind this was that if the axiomatic foundations of mathematics were introduced to children, they could easily cope with the theorems of the mathematical system later.
Other topics introduced in the New Math include modular arithmetic, algebraic inequalities, matrices, symbolic logic, Boolean algebra, and abstract algebra.[2] Most of these topics (except algebraic inequalities) have been greatly de-emphasized or eliminated in elementary school and high school since the 1960s.
Parents and teachers who opposed the New Math in the U.S. complained that the new curriculum was too far outside of students' ordinary experience and was not worth taking time away from more traditional topics, such as arithmetic. The material also put new demands on teachers, many of whom were required to teach material they did not fully understand. Parents were concerned that they did not understand what their children were learning and could not help them with their studies. Many of the parents took time out to try to understand the new math by attending their children's classes. In the end it was concluded that the experiment was not working, and New Math fell out of favor before the end of the decade, though it continued to be taught for years thereafter in some school districts. New Math found some later success in the form of enrichment programs for gifted students from the 1980s onward in Project MEGSSS.[3]
In the Algebra preface of his book Precalculus Mathematics in a Nutshell, Professor George F. Simmons wrote that the New Math produced students who had "heard of the commutative law, but did not know the multiplication table."
In 1965, physicist Richard Feynman wrote in the essay New Textbooks for the "New" mathematics:[4]
- "If we would like to, we can and do say, 'The answer is a whole number less than 9 and bigger than 6,' but we do not have to say, 'The answer is a member of the set which is the intersection of the set of those numbers which is larger than 6 and the set of numbers which are smaller than 9' ... In the 'new' mathematics, then, first there must be freedom of thought; second, we do not want to teach just words; and third, subjects should not be introduced without explaining the purpose or reason, or without giving any way in which the material could be really used to discover something interesting. I don't think it is worth while teaching such material."
In 1973, Morris Kline published his critical book Why Johnny Can't Add: the Failure of the New Math. It explains the desire to be relevant with mathematics representing something more modern than traditional topics. He says certain advocates of the new topics "ignored completely the fact that mathematics is a cumulative development and that it is practically impossible to learn the newer creations if one does not know the older ones" (p. 17). Furthermore, noting the trend to abstraction in New Math, Kline says "abstraction is not the first stage but the last stage in a mathematical development" (p. 98).
Other countries[edit]
This section requires expansion. (December 2009) |
In the broader context, reform of school mathematics curricula was also pursued in European countries such as the United Kingdom (particularly by the School Mathematics Project), and France, where the extremely high prestige of mathematical qualifications was not matched by teaching that connected with contemporary research and university topics.[clarification needed] In West Germany the changes were seen as part of a larger process of Bildungsreform. Beyond the use of set theory and different approach to arithmetic, characteristic changes were transformation geometry in place of the traditional deductive Euclidean geometry, and an approach to calculus that was based on greater insight, rather than emphasis on facility[clarification needed].[citation needed]
Again the changes met with a mixed reception, but for different reasons. For example, the end-users of mathematics studies were at that time mostly in the physical sciences and engineering; and they expected manipulative skill in calculus, rather than more abstract ideas. Some compromises have since been required, given that discrete mathematics is the basic language of computing.[citation needed]
Teaching in the USSR did not experience such extreme upheavals, while being kept in tune both with the applications and academic trends.
- Under A. N. Kolmogorov, the mathematics committee declared a reform of the curricula of grades 4-10, at the time when the school system consisted of 10 grades. The committee found the type of reform in progress in Western countries to be unacceptable; for example, no special topic for sets was accepted for inclusion in school textbooks. Transformation approaches were accepted in teaching geometry, but not to such sophisticated level presented in the textbook produced by Boltyansky and Yaglom.[5]
In Japan, the New Math was supported by MEXT, but not without problems, leading to child-centred approaches.[6]
Popular culture[edit]
- Musician and university mathematics lecturer Tom Lehrer wrote a satirical song named "New Math" which revolved around the process of subtracting 173 from 342 in decimal and octal. The song is in the style of a lecture about the general concept of subtraction in arbitrary number systems, illustrated by two simple calculations, and highlights the New Math's emphasis on insight and abstract concepts—as Lehrer put it with an indeterminable amount of seriousness, "In the new approach ... the important thing is to understand what you're doing rather than to get the right answer." At one point in the song, he notes that "you've got [thirteen] and you take away seven, and that leaves five... well, six, actually, but the idea is the important thing."
- Lehrer's explanation of the two calculations is entirely correct, but presented in such a way (very rapidly and with many side remarks) as to make it difficult to follow the individually simple steps, thus recreating the bafflement the New Math approach often evoked when apparently simple calculations were presented in a very general manner which, while mathematically correct and arguably trivial for mathematicians, was likely very confusing to absolute beginners and even contemporary adult audiences.[citation needed]
- Lehrer states that "Base 8 is just like Base 10, really...if you're missing two fingers."
- The tagline of the song is "It's so simple, so very simple, that only a child can do it."
- New Math was the name of a 1970s punk rock band from Rochester, NY.[7]
- In 1965, cartoonist Charles Schulz authored a series of Peanuts strips which detailed kindergartener Sally's frustrations with New Math. In the first strip, she is depicted puzzling over "sets, one to one matching, equivalent sets, non-equivalent sets, sets of one, sets of two, renaming two, subsets, joining sets, number sentences, placeholders." Eventually she bursts into tears and exclaims, "All I want to know is, how much is two and two?"[8] This series of strips was later adapted for the 1973 Peanuts animated special There's No Time for Love, Charlie Brown.
- New Math was mentioned in "Conspiracy Theories and Interior Design", a 2010 episode of Community.

Most airport security in the UK is an utter waste of time, a charade designed to make people feel safe and to keep the otherwise unemployable employed. Most of the barely literate oafs who pose as airport security staff should be sweeping the streets.
I travelled globally for about 6 months with, unbeknown to me, a Swiss army knife which I thought I'd lost, in the lining of my carry on bag. I must have been through scanners over 100 times in that period, and it was eventually picked up in Zurich.
At the other end of the scale, I left a map folded in the back pocket of a pair of trousers which had been washed, so it became compacted. This set off an alarm at Luton airport when I went through the scanner and I was rudely and abusively hauled aside by the oaf manning the so-called security.

Friday's Letters to the Editor
Published: Thursday, October 4, 2012 at 7:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 4, 2012 at 4:11 p.m.
Memorial Hospital strike
EDITOR: I remember the Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital strike of 1986. I had been hired just six weeks earlier as a new graduate and was asked if I would support a strike. I replied that my father was president of an independent union at a factory in New Jersey for 25 years, and, of course, I would strike. The union took my dad away from us every Friday night after he worked his full week as a machinist. But he brought incredible changes to his fellow employees, including mental health coverage and rehab for alcoholics, to name just a few.
I hit the picket line in 1986 with my 2-year-old twin daughters in a double-stroller, and I traveled to San Francisco with my coworkers for night shifts. The unfortunate part is that strikes do leave a scar on your heart. But they also bond you with the nurses you work with in an indelible way.
My youngest daughter is a nurse in Southern California where there is a nursing shortage. That lack of qualified registered nurses will soon be a reality in Sonoma County. The basic issue is that unless Memorial nurses are compensated fairly, commensurate with their colleagues in the area, Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital cannot continue its mission.
Diluting votes
EDITOR: Measure Q would split Santa Rosa into seven as yet undefined areas, each having about 25,000 people. These are not neighborhoods. They are about the size of Windsor. Each area would have just one City Council seat. We could not vote for the other six. We would go from having seven votes in four years to one vote in four years. Why in the world would we give up our right to choose and hold accountable those other six council members? Their actions affect us so much.
Council members now are accountable to the whole city. Under a district system, each representative would be concerned with just a fraction of the city. Who would look out for the whole city?
All interested people should be encouraged to run for City Council. I would hope they are now. If proponents of Measure Q think not, then the answer is simple. They should work within the present system and put their considerable talents to work providing campaign help to those they feel are under-represented. Instead they gamble that districting will do this, and they ask all of us to give up 86 percent of our voting power.
Show them we care about the whole city. No on Q.
Santa Rosa
Over his head
EDITOR: The real Barack Obama was there, and the Mitt Romney picture painted by liberals wasn't, and if liberals think the next debates will be better they have been watching too much of "The View." Obama is a charismatic engaging man with a great smile, and he should have his own talk show, but when contrasted with a professional who has experience as a governor and in big business, you get what we had at the first debate: a president who is clearly over his head.
San Francisco
For transparency
EDITOR: I support food labeling transparency — Proposition 37.
California voters have good instincts about what is good for us. Will passage of Proposition 37 cost California money to implement and enforce? Of course it will. Everything costs money.
Proposition 37's website provides this information: The top donors for no on Proposition 37 are Monsanto, DuPont, DOW Agrisciences, Bayer Cropscience and BASF Plant Science, Coca Cola, Pepsico, Conagra, Nestle and Syngenta. Together they have dedicated $24 million. This information is public because of California's right-to-know legislation that lets voters know who pays for what in elections. It's worth the cost of implementation.
Are these companies threatened by the idea of transparency in labeling? Why is that? Do their products contain things that aren't good for humans to eat? I want to know what's in the food I buy. I know that many packaged and processed foods contain genetically modified organisms, and I usually avoid buying them. But raw foods? What GMOs are in them? The donors to no on Proposition 37 don't want us to know what they do to food before it ends up in our grocery stores. I want to know. I will vote yes on Proposition 37.
Mother ocean
EDITOR: Waves flow in off the Pacific unhampered, alive. Whales dance, dolphins leap and twirl, pelicans soar into the deep spirit of our hearts. Our coast and all its vibrant beauty brings thousands of people to our county, to heal, to release stress, to stroll pristine beaches and sing with the sounds of the tides. To charge an $8 fee to absorb this beauty and join as one with our mother ocean is an insult and an absolute crime. A suggestion for the state parks administers: Park the big new trucks, purchase small electric vehicles for your rounds, and leave the ocean free for all to visit.

For maximum safety, ARO 2011 includes Backup and Undo functionality for any change. Advanced users can select which parts of the registry to operate on.
In ARO 2011 you'll find the added ability to cleanup junk on your PC and analyze your system's security. Junk cleanup will remove temporary files, bad shortcuts, memory dumps, temporary internet files, among other things. This will help aid in improving PC performance while keeping your PC clean. The PC Security analysis will check to see if your Antivirus, Antispyware, and Firewall are properly installed and providing the best security possible. ARO 2011 will check each one of these areas and let you know if it needs attention or not.
ARO 2011 continues to provide the abilitiy to truly tweak Windows for improved PC performance. We have included a set of specific registry tweaks that allow you the ability to improve startup times, application performance and general PC performance during normal use. While overall improvement may vary, users who are constantly managing large amounts of media such as pictures, music or movies could see the biggest improvement. Here are the tweaks that we have included in ARO 2011 which we believe will have the biggest impact for you:
Improve NTFS performance
The time stamps for "last accessed" files and folders are updated by Windows on a regular basis and this can consume vital processor cycles. Checking this tweak can help improve performance on NTFS system, as this disables the time stamp activity. Users who have large quantities of media such as pictures and music on their PC will find this tweak extremely useful as those files tend to be used and updated more often.
Improve Core Operating System Kernel Performance
Drivers that are seldom used and additional system code are normally stored in the physical RAM on a users' PC. By default Windows is limiting the performance of applications by reducing the amount of physical memory available for use. By optimizing kernel performance your PC will now store this unused information on the disk when it is not being used.
Increase CPU Priority
It is the Windows default to evenly split CPU priority among applications. To improve application performance you can use this tweak to give priority to the application you are actively using.
Increase maximum CPU threads
When the system load is high the amount of CPU threads is limited by Windows. Utilizing this tweak increases the maximum thread count and helps improve PC performance during peak usage.
Speed Up windows startup
Normally Windows startup files are spread out across your hard-disk which increases the amount of time it takes the PC to read them in order for Windows to startup. By moving all of the startup files into a contiguous cluster on your hard-disk you'll decrease the time it takes Windows to startup.

Angels Player Power Rankings - Week 7
Now that the Angels season has limped past the quarter pole, it is time for a shake up in the Angel Player Power Rankings. No longer shall the rankings factor in any preconceived notions we had about players entering the season. That's great news for Mark Trumbo and not so great news for Albert Pujols and Howie Kendrick.
As always, the rankings are based on a player's overall season performance with a weight on recent performance.
1 | +2 Last Week: 3 |
Mark Trumbo - Not only is he beating the hell out of the ball right now, he is also talking a big game in terms of his approach and general hitting philosophy that I almost wish the Halos had named him the interim hitting coach. |
2 | -- 0 Last Week: 2 |
Jered Weaver - If not for Weaver, the Angels would've been swept by the lowly Padres. That still doesn't atone for the egg he laid in Texas though. |
3 | +1 Last Week: 4 |
Mike Trout - One can't help but wonder what the Angel record would be if Mike Trout had been a starter since Opening Day. |
4 | -3 Last Week: 1 |
C.J. Wilson - All that respect I was talking about C.J. earning for his consecutive starts against Texas went out the window when he crapped the bed against the White Sox. |
5 |
+2 Last Week: 7 |
Scott Downs - Scott Downs hasn't allowed a run to score all year and still somehow is losing his grip on the closer's job. |
6 | +4 Last Week: 10 |
Ernesto Frieri - The only thing more futile than the Angels offense is opposing batters trying to make contact with Frieri's tailing fastball. Just look at his stats as an Angel: 25 batters faced, 14 strikeouts, 0 hits. |
7 | +5 Last Week: 12 |
Ervin Santana - Ervin had a heck of a week with just two runs allowed in 13.2 innings of work. Too bad he only got one win to show for it. |
8 | +1 Last Week: 9 |
Dan Haren - Good news: Haren's back problem looks like it is better. Bad news: Haren's run support problem might be getting worse. |
9 | +2 Last Week: 11 |
Kendrys Morales - Pinch-hitting is not his strong suit. |
10 | -5 Last Week: 5 |
Howie Kendrick - The GA-stache is gone, but the inability to hit with runners in scoring position remains. |
11 | +3 Last Week: 14 |
Jerome Williams - Can Jerome get himself some Comeback Player of the Year love? |
12 | +3 Last Week: 15 |
Jordan Walden - Since losing the closer gig, Waldo has pitcher 7.2 innings, allowed three hits, three walks, zero runs while fanning six batters. If only the rest of the Angel relieves could be as bad as Scioscia thinks he is. |
13 | -- 0 Last Week: 13 |
Maicer Izturis - Izzy had been hitting so well that he's been playing almost everyday this month. All that action finally seems to have caught up to Mr. Glass though and he hit the wall, going hitless in his last 16 at-bats. |
14 | -6 Last Week: 8 |
Albert Pujols - I hate to move him down after a week in which he hit two homers, but we aren't allowing pre-season expectations to factor in anymore and he pretty much didn't do anything else this week. Sorry, Albert. |
15 | +1 Last Week: 16 |
Alberto Callaspo - Callaspo has been coming on lately, but 3 extra-base hits all season? Even Reggie Willits thinks that's weak. |
16 | +1 Last Week: 17 |
Peter Bourjos - I am convinced that the babyfaced Bourjos grew the beard he is currently rocking as some sort of clever ruse to trick Scioscia into thinking he was actually an old veteran player and thus deserving of playing everyday no matter how poorly he performs. Unfortunately for Peter, the beard is just too patchy to fool anyone. |
17 | +2 Last Week: 19 |
Erick Aybar - I'm sure it is just a coincidence, but Aybar has caught fire since Mickey Hatcher was fired. Yes... a coincidence... riiiiiiiiiight. |
18 | -- 0 Last Week: 18 |
Vernon Wells - It is the most Vernon Wells thing ever for him to finally be on a bit of a hot streak and then injure himself. Oh, Vernon. |
19 | +2 Last Week: 21 |
David Carpenter - Before his gutsy effort on Sunday, the comment here was not going to be nearly as friendly. |
20 | +2 Last Week: 22 |
Jason Isringhausen - Even when he pitches well, his outings are rather harrowing, especially yesterday's adventure in San Diego. Woof. |
21 | +1 Last Week: 23 |
Hisanori Takahashi - After pitching just twice since April 27th, Taka made four appearances in the last week. More importantly, he only allowed two hits this week. |
22 | -2 Last Week: 20 |
Bobby Wilson - I hereby dub thee Jeff FAThis. |
23 | +1 Last Week: 24 |
John Hester - He can't possibly have endeared himself to Lord of Catchers Scioscia with his bad fielding decision that basically cost the Angels the game on Saturday in addition to his inability to get a sacrifice bunt down. |
24 | -- 0 Last Week: n/a |
Ryan Langerhans - Hey, new guy, a little advice for you. If your first at-bat of the season comes with the game-tying run at third base with two outs in the ninth, you might want to think about swinging the bat. Also, don't butcher a flyball and then smash your shoulder into the wall. Just a suggestion. |
25 | -- 0 Last Week: 25 |
David Pauley - YOU CAN'T EVEN GET A PITCHER OUT, YOU BUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Biggest Riser: Santana, up five spots
Biggest Dropper: Pujols, down six spots
Dropped from rankings: Torii Hunter (restricted list)

Configuration and change management with Bcfg2
Documentation Imminent
The lively developer community that surrounds Bcfg2 integrates new designs with the system almost every week. Just recently, a new team that will be focusing on improving the documentation was founded on the mailing list [8]. Documentation is absolutely vital because Bcfg2 requires that you know so many details of the system.
Administrators will also appreciate the tool's support for gradual migration, which removes the need for drastic changes and allows step-by-step specification of the configuration. All told, the use of Bcfg2 to configure and validate clients is a very powerful tool for anyone who is undaunted by its high level of abstraction.

WWIB: Cracking Up
It's time for everyone's favorite game "Who Wears It Better?". Today we have a fierce matchup of two ass-crack juggernauts. First up is your tried and true plumbers crack against the serious up and coming challenger the Butt-Flosser. So who ya got in this matchup? Dare I say that I "smell" an upset here?
California & Ohio
WWIB: Cracking Up, -
First picture is just nasty- second picture of butt flosser- is ewwww nasty- just think whats up that crack- complete with the "tramp stamp"!!!! I would have to say # 1 wears it better- becuase that may have been an honest to goodness mishap- but #2- couldnt no accident that big happen- she had to have known it was going to show!!!!
Time for some honesty here. I've seen way to much of guys like the one on the left. Who wants to keep seeing that. As for the one on the right, get real. What guy, in his right mind, wouldn't look at that? That's why women wear jeans like she has on. Most women compete for guy's eyes even if they won't admit it. My vote: I wouldn't complain about seeing more like her, as long as they don't look like him.
Here we have each crack in its natural element. On the left, the classic plumbers crack, in the junk food asile looking for that last giant container of cheesy balls. And on the right, the tramp, looking for more ways to draw attention from beer swilling drunk wanna be suburban gangsters… G-string check, tramp stamp check, just enough clothing not to get arrested check. What else do I need to attract men on a poorly lit street corner, aught glitter eyelashes. Good thing her pimp is there to help pay.
This is not that hard of a decision. The guy on the left just needs to pull up his britches and probably has no intention of showing his ass crack. The trash bag that has graced the folks of Walmart or public in general knows that she will be showing more than anyone wants or needs to see. Her shirt is so tight that it bunches and she could care less what is exposed. She comes across as nasty and skanky. SO, HE WEARS IT BETTER.
No kidding, I actually saw the girl at a gas station here in San Diego. It must have been the same day because the gas station is just down the street from Wal-mart. The outfit from the front is even sluttier. I have no idea what she was doing going around town like that.
But I'd recognize that buttcrack anywhere! Believe me, took a long hard look..
Plumber crack dude seriously needs to invest in a cheap belt. And girlfriend on the right needs to at least pull her shirt down, but worse than that is she looks like she's practicing for her pole dancing audition.
I would also knock her tramp stamp, but I used to work with a gal who had one that said "HIT IT LIKE A CHAMP," so I would consider this a bit more classy.

The heart-shaped head of the sprinkler breaks up water droplets to improve delivery to the root zone and to prevent wasted water, according to the company.
"Because they can't clog, Rainforest Sprinklers are ideal for hard water areas and for low-pressure systems like wells," said Mark Grambart, president and CEO of Contech Enterprises, the manufacturer of Raniforest Ecological Sprinklers.

Masters Thesis by Publication Guidelines
Masters by Research candidates in the Faculty of Arts are permitted to submit a thesis entirely or partially consisting of sole, jointly or multi-authored published and/or unpublished work.
The thesis must reflect a sustained and cohesive theme. To this end framing or substantial linking text is normally required to introduce the research and link the chapters/papers/manuscripts.
Candidates who wish to submit by this mode are required to follow the guidelines detailed below.
Pagination | Inclusive pagination is to be used. |
Bibliography | A complete, consolidated bibliography is preferred where appropriate or possible. |
Framing papers | The thesis should include an introduction and concluding remarks. Framing papers could be distributed throughout the thesis. The introduction should specify the research question/s covered by the thesis. Research to be contexualised in existing literature. |
No. of papers | The material presented for examination needs to equate to that which would otherwise be presented in the traditional thesis format. (This remains a matter for professional judgment for the supervisor and candidate.) See below. |
Photocopies | A photocopy should not normally be used. Printing should be of the highest quality. Use a pdf where possible. |
% Authorship | initiation, key ideas, development and writing up of each of the works should be the primary responsibility of the candidate.. |
Declarations | To be clearly specified and formatted according to the template. Coauthor signatures necessary on all papers in all thesis copies except those in the appendix. Rewritten, previously published papers require acknowledgement of others' contributions. |
Status of papers | Papers must have at least been submitted for publication, though not necessarily accepted. |
A thesis by publication differs in nature from a conventional masters thesis but the depth and breadth of research presented in the thesis should be commensurate to that expected of a conventional masters thesis.
Formatting Requirements
Consult Chapter 8 of the Survival Guide for general information about formatting a masters thesis. Section 8.1 Preparation and Presentation of a Masters Thesis will prove most helpful.
All theses by publication must include
declarations which specify the extent and nature of the candidate's
contribution to the publication/s. This is necessary even when the
candidate is the sole author of the work/s.
There are
two declarations that must be included:
declaration (part A): this is placed at the front
of the thesis and replaces the standard general declaration. It lists
the work/s written by the candidate and shows the publication status
of those works. Sole authored works need to specify the publication
Specific declaration (part B):
this is required for each work in the thesis that was written in
collaboration with other authors and contains the signatures of all
authors of that work. It is not required for sole-authored work.
We strongly advise that the Part B declaration form be signed by
contributing authors as soon as the paper is prepared or submitted
for publication.
Relative contributions to the work need
to be determined and presented in percentage terms for the candidate
and any co-authors who are students at Monash University. Co-authors
who are not fellow students need only indicate the nature of their
contribution to the work.
Each specific declaration should
be placed at the start of the thesis chapter where the conjointly
authored work appears.
There may be occasions where a
contributing author is unable to sign the declaration (ie an author
who cannot be contacted after sustained attempts to do so).
In these cases the School Graduate Coordinator can sign in
the author's place, but s/he must briefly annotate the signature
box explaining why the original author's signature is not available.
Template declarations are available for download. These templates
must be customised where highlighted.
- General declaration (part A)
- Specific declaration (part B)
Please note that completion of these forms does not negate the need to comply with any other university requirements relating to conjointly authored works.
Framing & Linking Papers
The thesis must contain an introductory
framing paper as well as a conclusion. In the case of theses which
comprise more than one or a series of papers the thesis should also
contain linking papers. Such theses will comprise the publications
plus framing, linking and concluding papers.
The framing
paper should give an account of how the work fits into the field
of scholarly literature and, where appropriate, into the discipline
through a discussion of key methodological and epistemological questions.
Publication Specifications
Papers or publications included in the thesis must have at least been submitted for publication, though not necessarily accepted or published.
A candidate should only include in the thesis papers to which they have been the key contributor. The candidate should have held primary responsibility for the initiation, key concepts, development and writing up of each of the works contained in the body of the thesis.
Only works that have been produced during the period of candidature should be included in the thesis.
Any papers or publications that fall outside these parameters can be included in the appendix of the thesis. The appendix to a thesis by publication should contain the same types of material as a standard thesis. For example, papers written by the thesis author and referred to in the thesis but which do not form part of the main thesis body, or primary source material such as transcripts or data.
Extent of Candidate's Contribution in the case of Multi-Authored Musical Works
The initiation, key ideas, development and documentation of each of the multi-authored works within the music composition folio should be the primary responsibility of the candidate. Overall, the material presented for examination needs to equate to that which would otherwise be presented in a music composition folio.
Multi-authored works for music performance must be the principal work of the candidate who is responsible for the initiation, key ideas, development and documentation of these works in order to be considered for examination.
Determination of Percentage Contribution
The specific declaration (see above) requires determination of percentages to reflect the contribution of various authors. The ascribed percentages should remain static over time. Candidates are encouraged to reach a decision regarding authorship at the time the paper is submitted for publication and be proactive in ensuring the thesis declaration is completed at that time. The same declaration should then by used by any co-authors who may be using the paper in their theses.
Documentation of Candidate's Contribution in the Case of Multi-Authored Musical Works
For both music composition and performance candidates, the critical commentary should identify all parts or elements of multi-authored works that have been created by other authors. It should also explain how these parts or elements have been created.

The 8949MDA-CFR is a monitoring distribution amplifier with PAL/NTSC monitoring outputs. This module is ideal for low-cost monitoring of HD-SDI signals. The 8949MDA-CFR provides four monitoring outputs and four reclocked outputs and can be used to distribute either HD-SDI or SD-SDI making it ideal for mixed format applications or installations where an upgrade is planned.
Thanks to its fiber-ready architecture the 8949MDA-CFR can be configured to support up to two fiber connections in addition to its eight coax outputs. Applications include use as an HD-SDI fiber transmitter with additional monitoring and reclocked coax feeds.
Parameters can be adjusted directly from the module itself or via standard HTML Web browsers or via the Newton™ control panel (when installed in network equipped frames). In addition, NetConfig™ and NetCentral® can be used for remote configuration and signal health monitoring.
Please note that the 8949MDA-CFR provides 16:9 anamorphic monitoring outputs for HD signals and 4:3 outputs for SD inputs. The 8949MDA-SFR should be selected if an SDI monitoring output is required. This is a monitoring device so, in order to provide the fastest possible conversion, the module does not perform de-interlacing and consequently it has an extremely short processing delay of 0.97 ms.

To make and keep such a promise is to understand that money and position are tools, not goals, and that death is not the worst thing that can happen.

I was a highway man along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
But I am still alive
I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide
I sailed a schooner round the horn to Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still
I was a dam builder
Across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around, I'll always be around
And around and around and around and around
I fly a starship across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and again
And again and again and again and again

Great article Seth. Hopefully the people who want Gardy gone right now will read this and realize there is alot more to it then they think.
I guess the manager wins games but the players, umpires, injuries, ______ fill in the excuse lose the games?
No Gardy isn't 100% at fault but at some point it's time to move on. 10-12 years with one team is a long time, turn the page and start fresh, imo. He'll get another job.
For several years Seth wrote the team no longer does the little things well. Now that people are suggesting Gardenhire accountable for that, it is somehow not the coaches responsibility? Who on the roster the last few years has really grown as a player under this staff? When have they over achieved lately?
Gardy clearly is a big part of the success. But if he gets credit when they do well, he needs to get blame when they do not.
Several Twins last year had career years. Revere ended up valuable enough that they got a starting pitcher and a prospect for him. Span developed under Gardenhire. Plouffe may have found a spot. The position players added via free agency last year did well. Diamond, DeVries and Deduno all had career years last year. Burton, Perkins and Fien all saw improvement last year. If Casilla turns it around for more than a year in Baltimore you can say it was Gardenhire's fault, but I don't know if that will happen.
Anybody remember Bill Smith. Trading away Bartlett and JJ Hardy from an organization that can't develop middle infielders. Yes, I know,, Garza, and the Santana giveaway. And my favorite, Ramos for Matt Capps. I love watching Butera. at bats, they give me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.I think the Twins should make David Kahn the GM when Ryan retires. I'm sure Gardy's slashed billys tires already.
I would say that managers get too much credit when a team wins and too much blame when a team loses. In reality, if another manager had the exact same roster that they've had the last two years, and all the same other issues, how many more games would the Twins have won. Likewise, if there was another manager through the good years, would they really have won (or lost) any more games? It definitely goes both ways.
I've read people say that they think that the Twins have gotten "stale" in recent years... and I guess I don't know what to think about that comment. Will a new voice make the players better and hence not look stale? Would you hire a manager who yells more than Gardenhire? (Cuz he does quite a bit) Or would you want a manager that is more laid back and quiet? I guess maybe that's part of my question... what type of manager would you want to come in here? And, why would that make the Twins successful right away?
If managers have so little impact, Seth, why do you care who the manager is? Why are they paid as much money as they are?
Good list, and obviously there have been many more over the years as well. And, I'm sure the opposite can be said.
I like Gardy. I think he's done a terrific job as the Twins manager. I'm not against them going a different direction, but I would caution those that think that is the answer to all the questions, I think they'd be disappointed. I certainly haven't agreed with everything Gardy has done during his years. But, my main point is that I don't think it's fair, or right, to solely judge his managerial abilities and whether or not he should retain his job by looking at wins and losses. So, that's my question, what are those factors for others that should determine it?
MWW makes a good note that they haven't done a lot of the little things well, but I would also say that I don't think they practice them any less than they did when TK was around, so I don't know what the reasoning is.
Is it a fact that the Twins have not done the little things well?
Another fair point, but obvously the manager is a part of every team, and they are paid well... that said, 1st year managers generally make less than league minimum, and even Gardy making a couple million is not that big compared to the players who have more than 3-5 years of experience.
Someone would have to study that and even determine what that means... their 'little' guys haven't bunted well. They don't always run the bases real well. Defense has been down the last several years, but that's certainly the players... So, I dont know if it's true or not.
To be clear, i don't think replacing Gardy is the one, sole, answer to the problems of this team. To be clear, I think Ryan has some great strengths. I would never argue they were not key contributors and largetly the architects of the sucess of the first decade of this century. I am arguing that every organization eventualyl replaces even its great leaders, and the best organizations don't wait too long to do so.
I think the time is right on Gardy because I think this team will be largely rebuilt from the ground up over the next few years. That is a good time to bring in a new leader, to grow with the new team.
What has to happen on the field before it is time to make a change? We aren't talking about a guy that has won multiple world series titles. This isn't a HOF manager that has a great post season record of success. It's a manager that has won in a mostly poor division, and hasn't won a post season game since 2004.
Sometimes that old chair or sweatshirt just has to go and start new!
It should be sink or swim. Either he makes this roster competitive from the very beginning of this season or he's gone.
There's a school of thought (started in the NFL, but I can't recall which coach said it) that after a 10 years or so you need to move on because the players start to tune you out. I don't know if that's true or not, but I think it's a fair concern.
I would judge Gardy this season on a few factors, and winning isn't really one of them.
1. Does the team quit on him at any point in the season? If they do, then it's probably time to make a change.
2. Does Gardenhire embrace anything new this season to try and find success for this team or does he only run out the same bag of tricks? Managers need to grow too. I don't expect him to suddenly become a different guy, but if he doesn't show any growth either, it's worth considering.
3. How well does he work with the young players? This team will need to embrace the wave of talent coming up through the minors. If he's not able to work with and develop that talent, he's probably not going to be the right fit. This is admittedly a tough category to judge on; people will tend to evaluate it more on how well the young players perform, which as Seth points out isn't necessarily right.
4. Does he lose the fans? Yep, Gardy gets judged this season on PR a bit. Look, he's one of the most recognizable faces of the organization, with a serious platform and connection to the fans. If he's not able to help keep the fans connected and convince them that this team has a future worth watching, than that's a real strike against him.
All of these things are possible. I don't think any of them are unreasonable. The difficulty is none of them are easily quantifiable.
Seth is right in that managers do get more credit than they probably deserve when the team wins and too much blame when the team loses, but at the same time a lot of the criticisms leveled at Gardy have been consistent through good times and bad and a lot of them are certainly fair. The reasoning that most other managers act the same way isn't a particularly good one for keeping someone around, especially when one of the keys to success is being better at things that others fail at.
I think Terry Ryan has a lot of these things in mind, and that's why this season is a "prove it" year for Gardy. Ryan needs to see that this is the right guy for the future. Loyalty has kept him in place this long; a lot of places would have moved on already, to placate the fan base if nothing else.
I am a Gardy fan and always have been. I think he has done a great job with a team that has not always been the most talented. Having said that--I agree with others--we are starting to build a new team around Hicks, Sano, Buxton, etc. I think after a dozen years it is time for a change--bring in a manager (Bruno??) to build this team.
More important and Seth didnt address this--get rid of Anderson--we need a better pitching coach (Cuellar?).
In general I agree with the comment--but not always the case--I know soccer (what the rest of the world calls football) is not a big sport here--but arguably the best manager in any team in any sport--Sir Alex Ferguson of Man. United--has been there 26 years and looks to win another title this season...

I do not denigrate Bridgemont, but its creation really hurt Tech because it carved out of Tech's student body a much greater proportion of students than the other state colleges lost in the birth of the community college system.
There are many other reasons for Tech's decline in enrollment: loss of mining jobs, lack of local students qualified to take science courses, a local area decimated of proper housing and the demise of Union Carbide.
Phillips has stated that the Revitalization Committee has adopted the "Sightlines" report. WVU commissioned that report to review the needs of Tech for its buildings and grounds. It was completed in May 2011. Senate Bill 486 was not introduced until February 2011. The subcommittee that made the first analysis did not meet until July or August 2011.
The Sightlines report is not a specific engineering project but an analysis of buildings and grounds. They did an excellent outline of the needs of the campus to improve the students' lifestyle.
The Curris Report did more harm than good for Tech. Its investigation was minimal at best. Tech has been studied to death. It needs to have the Legislature properly fund it.
The "Take back Tech" group should quit criticizing and let the Committee do its work. It will be up to our senators and delegates to present Tech's case to the Legislature.
The Higher Education Policy Commission is on the right path. If its recommendations are funded by the Legislature, we will benefit from the future leaders that Tech has created in the past and will create in the future. Funding, not fighting, should be our number one priority.
Billheimer is a retired lawyer, Tech graduate and president of the Tech Foundation.
