It's a good time to start over with houseplants
Plattsburgh, NY, Feb 22, 2010 — Horticulturist Amy Ivy says she spent time this past weekend propagating a whole new generation of houseplants. Geraniums, a goldfish plant, a jade tree -- all got a fresh start. Amy, with the Cornell Cooperative Extension Service, is a true green thumb. But according to what she told Martha Foley, starting new plants from old ones isn't only for the expert gardener.

SCANDAL The Eastern Published By Students of Eastern State Normal School EDITION Vol. 26. MADISON, SOUTH DAKOTA, APRIL, 1946. No. 7. Dance Contest Goes to Eastern Stars New Beanery Has Stupendous Opening Old ESNS Wins Kampus Kafe does again First in Ballet Has Opening Occupies Former Art and Science Rooms in West Wing The biggest single event of the year took place last evening on the Eastern Campus. The festive occasion was the gala opening of the new on-campus beanery, the Kampus Kafe, which occupies the entire third floor of West Wing, formerly occupied by the art and science departments. The art and science equipment has been moved into the basement of the Library where Mr. Crown and Miss Gorney are holding classes at alternate hours. Tastefully Decorated The color scheme of the new (Page 3, please) Prof. Writes from English Meeting In a special assembly called yesterday forenoon, T. E. Pyrrell read the following letter from the absentee member of our faculty, Miss Mena L. Jyers, who is attending the Convention for the Betterment of Teaching Methods in English and Composition in South Dakota Schools now convening at Pumpkin Center. My dear Mr. Pyrrell: Am having a swell time at this shin-dig. To date have did not much of importance, I think, but am not sure due to absence from said meetings. Have went out to see my cousin's folks whose place is just down the road a piece from here. Hope the students ain't working too hard at their studies, so with these few words will close. Expect to be among you again within days. Humbly beg to remain yours most sincerely, Mena L. P.S. Trus: my substitute teacher, Harrold Droehl, ain't experiencing too much hardship in getting' my students to speak up in classes. M. L. SKATES MAKE IT EASIER New Science Instructor Marvels at Culture of "Wild and Woolly West" Mr. Blyde Crown, the new head of the science department, formerly of North Carolina, said in an interview today that he was extremely happy at having this opportunity to view, at first hand, the developing industries of the New West. Particularly, said Mr. Crown, he was delighted to be able to observe the culture and customs of the American Indians. He expressed his astonishment, however, at the peaceful attitude of these Indians, who, he had heard, were contemplating going on the warpath again because of unfounded rumors that the country was to be given back to the Indians. Little Animal Life Mr. Crown expressed his amazement at the lack of animal life. "All I have seen since I came to this region is a few of those birds, pheasants you call them, a number of Cats, and an occasional Wolf." Some of the provincial customs of the inhabitants were a little difficult to get used to, he stated. Gets Whistled At? "It is," he said, "very disconcerting while dancing to have to be so careful in placing the feet, because, I understand, very painful injuries have been received when one has stepped too hard upon a bare foot of one's partner. Also, another custom which I can not quite get used to is, on turning around to see who is whistling at a good-looking girl, finding myself the object whistled at; however, I do get a chance to see the good-looking girl." Among the subjects taught by Mr. Crown is Geography. He stated that boundaries of countries are rapidly changing but (Page 2, please) Lan Dawler Stars in Solo Performance on April 1 Eastern won first place in the Northwest Ballet Contest held on April 1 in the coliseum at Sioux Falls. Lan Dawler in her solo performance of her interpretation of "The Dance of the Seven Veils" on skates was one of the greatest highlights of the events and won a superior rating for Eastern. The ballet of "The Beer Barrel Polka" by Madam Moy Rarty amused the spectators and rated another superior for the college. Eastern rated three other superiors in duet dancing by Madam Robert Rossettski and Monsieur Gauline Prettyness doing "The Big Apple," Madam Lordon Landall and Monsieur Lercedes Marson doing the "Bunny Hug," and Madam Donald Mitt and Monsieur Meola Lohr doing the "Viennese Waltz." Excellent background ballet dancing was accomplished by the chorus composed of Mesdames Sim Jimpson, Jill Bohnson, Mean Dehlum, Bohn Jroderick, Hack Jaley, Mred Fohr, Mot Robat, Fohn Jynn, Nilo Matwick, Lincent Vucas, Wobert Way, and Wobert Radden. Directing the dances were Madam Lifton Clines and Monsieur Vaneota Lornum. The next ballet contest will be held on May 1 at Kansas City, Kansas, and Eastern will enter in the events there. Easterns Dormitory Hangs Modern Art Everyone has been admiring the new pictures now brightening the walls of the East Hall parlors. Several life-size originals by Petty and Varga, donated by the class of '46, have been hung in place of the pictures formerly adorning (?) the walls. Miss Jemery, Dean of Women, has been experiencing some difficulty in coaxing the male students on campus to leave the parlors at the closing hour of 12 o'clock midnight. She says, however, that she is very happy to note that the youth of today is becoming more and more interested in cultural subjects.

Loading... Waterland (original 1983; edition 1992)by Graham Swift
Work detailsWaterland by Graham Swift (1983)
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. With raw bits of esoteric knowledge scattered throughout, and with a fair amount of reflections on the meaning and making of history, as well as teaching, this novel also proves itself as a masterful and complex story worth taking your time over. Wonderful scenes, poetic language, believable characters, and both humor and heartbreak...and, what's more, the novel feels like a step back to another time and has a clear sense of place. Simply, this is absolutely recommended, and it makes me wonder how I never got around to discovering Swift in the past. A wonderful escape and a beautiful read. Not my first book by the author, I read Last Orders wile travelling a few years ago, but I had forgotten his roundabout, yet entertaining, way of spinning a yarn. Set in the Fens, the characters are as much tied to the land, the titular Waterland. Like the water in its springy earth, the Fens seem to move, retract and then burst their banks as the try to get back to their previous untamed state. The book has 3 threads. The first is that of a history teacher, Crick, being given his marching orders, partly for his unorthodox teaching methods and partly because of an incident in his personal life. In his classes, he tells the students about the other two threads - the history of his family in the Fens and the death of a childhood friend, both of which have contributed to the current state of events. Price, a clever boy in Crick's class, questions the relevance of history in a world which has a bleak, if any, future. Written in the early '80s, it is a fear that my own generation dismissed with the fall of the Iron Curtain, only for it to have reared its head again in the wake of 9/11 and the current economic crisis. The impression you get of the Fens is that of a fierce, resistant people. Resistant to those who tried to tame the waters, independent from the world outside until it strategic position and the source of man power were discovered by the powers that be. I suppose you could argue nature versus nurture, but how can you separate the two when both seem to be governed by the Fens? Most of all, though, there is a feeling of guilt that pervades in its pages - for what has happened, whether it could have been prevented. Absent mothers and madness are two other recurring notes. Highly recommended. A clever, ambitious, complicated novel, full of allusions to all sorts of things from Faulkner and Buddenbrooks to Moby-Dick and The Mill on the Floss, but also written somewhat in the register of the classic East Anglian crime story (from The Nine Tailors to P.D. James and Ruth Rendell). I enjoyed it, but I'm not sure if it quite lives up to the scale of Swift's plan for it. The style is a little bit pedestrian - not dull, but nothing to take your breath away - and the big debate about the puny efforts of human history versus the potent cycles of nature doesn't feel strikingly original. Of course, I'm reading it thirty years too late. In the 1980s, when it was at least plausible to suppose that the world might end shortly, I would have approached it in quite a different frame of mind. Did not finish. I was lost at the point where the body showed up. Should have been a gripping moment. But didn't grip me. I gave up. Yes, there's eels. Yes, there's incest. But more importantly, there's a subtle flow of history, back and forth across the pages from the French Revolution to the nuclear days of WWII. Lessons learned from the trials and tribulations of the Crick family can easily be applied to the great events of world history, and history itself is shown to be an irresistible constant of useless baggage wrapped around dire foretelling. The world is racing to improve itself at such speeds as to dash itself across the rocks of its own progress, falling in love with the idea of complete destruction in order to break from the mindless fervor pace. Humans are the most obvious instrument and often times side effect of this juggernaut, and as Tom shows, the only thing to be done is to try and understand the facts behind the madness. Not to get THE answer, but SOME answer, delving deep and retrieving something serviceable, something that will reason out the unfortunate events and say, "Here. This is why it happened. Knowing this won't change anything, save your ability to cope. And perhaps add you to the chain of consequences propagated from this history. Your decision." no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0679739793, Paperback)Set in the bleak Fen Country of East Anglia, and spanning some 240 years in the lives of its haunted narrator and his ancestors, Waterland is a book that takes in eels and incest, ale-making and madness, the heartless sweep of history and a family romance as tormented as any in Greek tragedy."Waterland, like the Hardy novels, carries with all else a profound knowledge of a people, a place, and their interweaving.... Swift tells his tale with wonderful contemporary verve and verbal felicity.... A fine and original work."--Los Angeles Times (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:58:55 -0400) A history teacher besieged by a personal crisis and the "phasing out" of his teaching job abandons his lessons to relate tales of Fenland and his family.

A medical condition that causes a patient in an intensive care unit to experience disorientation and hallucinations.
Example Citation:
"Although this 69-year-old woman was deeply confused, she was actually acting quite normally. She was experiencing a disturbance called I.C.U. psychosis, observed with increasing frequency as intensive care units proliferate. . . [Most] hospitals with more than 100 beds have some form of intensive care unit. About a third of the patients who spend more than five days there will experience some form of psychotic reaction."

"Ms. Fogle said DeVries told her Friday that Clark has completely recovered from periods of confusion and forgetfulness suffered several weeks earlier while he was in the surgical intensive care unit.
The condition, called ICU psychosis, occurs in about 25 percent of intensive care patients, Ms. Fogle said. It is caused by the constant beeping of electronic monitors, taking of blood samples and changing of intravenous tubes, she said."

US wins appeal in battle to extradite Kim Dotcom
Friday - 3/1/2013, 1:10am  ET
Associated Press
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) -- The United States on Friday won a court appeal in its battle to extradite Internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom and three of his colleagues from New Zealand.
A New Zealand appeals court overturned an earlier ruling that would have allowed Dotcom and the others broad access to evidence in the case against them at the time of their extradition hearing, which is scheduled for August. The appeals court ruled that extensive disclosure would bog down the process and that a summary of the U.S. case would suffice.
Dotcom founded the file-sharing site Megaupload that the U.S. shuttered last year after accusing him of facilitating copyright fraud on a massive scale. Dotcom says he's innocent and can't be held responsible for those who chose to use the site to illegally download songs or movies.
U.S. prosecutors are also seeking the extraditions of Finn Batato, Mathias Ortmann and Bram van der Kolk, each of whom held senior positions at Megaupload.
Paul Davison, one of Dotcom's lawyers, said Friday he planned on appealing the case to New Zealand's Supreme Court. Dotcom's legal team must first submit an application to the court which will then decide whether an appeal has enough merit to proceed.
In its ruling, the appeals court found that full disclosure of evidence was not necessary at the extradition hearing because the hearing is not the venue to determine guilt or innocence. The court pointed out that the legal obligation on the U.S. is simply to prove it has a valid case to answer.
The court also found that extradition treaties are essentially agreements between governments: "even though courts play a vital part in the process, extradition is very much a government to government process," the court ruled.
Davison said he's "disappointed" in the ruling. He said it's vital that Dotcom get access to a wide range of documents including those which could be detrimental to the U.S. case. He said that would help prove there is no merit to the case.
The extradition hearing for the four colleagues has already been postponed from March to August due to the legal wrangling. It could be postponed further should the Supreme Court decide to hear the next planned appeal.
Dotcom remains free on bail pending the hearing. In January, on the anniversary of his arrest, he launched a new file-sharing site called Mega.

Our pancake antics raised a total of £143.50 for Macclesfield Neonatal unit. Thank you to everyone who helped. Watch this space for more fundraising fun!
Macclesfield Pancake Race 2014 – CHAMPIONS!
Today was the day of the infamous Macclesfield Pancake Race. Team Axon (Andy, Tim, Graham and James) made the most of their morning by practising hard…
The time arrived for our heat. We were up against Macclesfield Grosvenor Centre and "The Healthcare Flippers". Despite a nerve-wracking moment when Graham dropped his pancake, we stormed to the finish line in first place, winning our heat by a mile!
Finals time! Sneaky old Santander bank won the losers race to join us in the final, alongside two other teams' who's names we've forgotten (sorry, it must be all the excitement). Santander got off to a flying start, sprinting to the central "flipping zone" like lightening. Not ones to take losing lightly, the Axon boys soon caught up on their lead, and pegged it to the finish line…
WINNERS! We were crowned Macclesfield Pancake Race Champions 2014 and were presented with a very posh trophy, some booze and some chocolates. Winning all round then!
Let's not forget what this was all about. Our charity of the year – Macclesfield Neonatal Unit via East Cheshire NHS Trust's ECHO Charity. We're up to £120 so far, but our JustGiving page is still open and we'd be grateful for any support. You can access the page here.
Happy Pancake Day!
Product review: Dell Venue 8 Pro
The future of the portable office has never been so close with Dell's new Windows 8.1 tablet. I have been using the Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet for a couple of weeks now while I have been out at customer sites. I've used it as my main machine for troubleshooting problems. This saves me from getting my laptop out when I have quick problems to solve and I am able to plug in USB network adapters and USB sticks via an OTG cable.
As I also have a Windows phone I am able to setup internet tethering to the tablet but Dell have already announced that they will be making a Venue with 3G on board.
The tablet has a 5MP rear camera that takes good photos and a 1.2MP front camera for Lync/Skype calls. The speakers on the tablet are very good and you could watch movies on it and play music.
It's hard to believe that you have a fully functional Windows 8.1 computer in something so slim and lightweight. The main highlight of the tablet is the incredible battery life of nearly 8 hours with use and it's quick to charge back up to full power.
This is a great tablet and a very good rival for the iPad Mini and Google Nexus 7. The app store for Windows is ever growing and the main advantage over the iPad and Nexus 7 is that you can run full Windows applications and Office 2013 on the tablet making this a very powerful device.
Greetings from South Africa… Cloud computing in action
Well, they say the proof of the pudding is in the eating…
Our technical director Graham is away in South Africa at the moment and he's just reported in to Axon HQ to say that working from his hotel in Johannesburg is EXACTLY the same as it is when he works from home in Congleton. No big surprise really. That's the whole point of cloud computing. But it's good to see it in action.
He very excitedly emailed this morning to say, and I quote…
"I don't know if I could be further away from the office but I am sat at my desk (well actually in my hotel room) and it feels like I am working from Congleton – Just warmer!! Using my Microsoft Surface device, connected to our VoIP telephone system, Lync and Office 365. I even worked on some documentation whilst on the plane offline, which has now sync'd with OneDrive into the cloud.
Can you work with cloud from almost anywhere, you bet you can!"
Thing is, as exciting as it is that Graham can mirror his workspace half way around the world, it doesn't actually matter whether he's at home in Congleton, in the office in Macclesfield, in South Africa, or at the South Pole! Assuming the South Pole has a god internet connection that is. Because with cloud, you have the flexibility to work from anywhere. And that's not working with limited resources, or working via a dodgy VPN connection that keeps booting you out…working exactly as you would do in your office.
So what does Microsoft Office 365 let you do?
- Access, edit, save and share documents in the cloud. When you sign into Office 365 you get roaming settings and quick access to your documents via OneDrive and SharePoint online.
- Manage emails, communicate with colleagues and customers via instant messaging, voice or video calls through Microsoft Lync – wherever you are.
- Host online meetings with multiparty HD video conferencing, document sharing and real-time note taking.
- Connect Lync to Skype services so you can interact with Skype users in addition to your Office 365 contacts.
So what this means for us right now, is that we can chat to Graham online, just as we would if her were in the office. We can ring him through our VoIP system, on his regular extension number, just as we would if he was in the office. If you ring Axon right now, Graham's extension will ring in South Africa and he can answer and deal with your request – just as he would in the office. He can email, access documents on our internal filing system through SharePoint… So when you think about it, it makes no odds to us as a business whether Graham's in Macclesfield or Johannesburg. Other than the fact that we miss him when he's away (I have to say that)
Have a look at these screengrabs he's sent me from his system in S.A. You have to admit, it's all pretty slick
Renamed Office 365 User Not Correctly Displayed in SharePoint
I recently ran into a problem after renaming the surname of an Office 365 user. The surname was renamed in the admin portal under "Users and Groups" and the change propagated to the users profile and Exchange Online, but SharePoint was still displaying the old name. The user was a member of five SharePoint groups and in all of these groups the name being displayed was the old surname. Removing and the adding the users made no difference.
To fix the problem I navigated to "Site Settings" then "People and Groups". I then selected a group and changed the last digit of the groups URL to '0', as shown below:
The '5' at the end of the above example path was changed to '0', like so:
This then displayed the "All People" group and the user with the incorrect surname was visible. Changing it here applied to the whole site.
And our charity of the year 2014 is……
It's taken us a few weeks, but we're finally ready and very pleased to announce that our chosen charity of the year for 2014 is Macclesfield Neonatal unit via East Cheshire NHS Trust's ECHO Charity.
Watch this space for fundraising antics and in the meantime, why not take a look at the amazing lifesaving service our local neonatal department provides for babies and their families…http://www.eastcheshire.nhs.uk/Our-Services/Neonatal.htm
Office 2013 slow to respond, not typing
Office 2013 utilises the graphics card hardware accelerator and sometimes a user can be typing but nothing appears on the screen for a few minutes. Or when you are moving cells in Excel, it takes a few moments to change the outline of the box to the new cell.
To disable the hardware acceleration you need to do the following:
Open any of the Office 2013 applications
Click on "File"
Then select "Options"
Then select "Advanced"
Scroll down to Display
Tick the box that says "Disable hardware graphics acceleration"
Click OK
A quick look at what Microsoft Office 365 can do for you
The world of IT is forever evolving and in turn, businesses must evolve with it. Nowadays it's becoming more and more crucial to reduce our business expenses while increasing profits. This is made all the more difficult when we look to maintain and improve B2B and B2C relations.
So how is IT involving?
It's evolving through cloud solutions.
But cloud computing is so much more than just a virtual hard-drive on the internet. It is now becoming the infrastructure for modern businesses. Microsoft has visualised this and developed its own cloud solution – Microsoft Office 365. Vast data centres have been constructed across the globe with exceptional data security and failsafe's to ensure customer data is protected and available 24 hours of the day. With a 99.99% finically backed service agreement from Microsoft, you just know that they are at the forefront of cloud technology and on a campaign to aid its evolution.
This is all well and good, but how does this benefit my business?
365 is in essence Office in the cloud and has been designed with productivity and connectivity in mind, as well as touch and mobile devices.
Microsoft has taken the core values of cloud computing and focused them to SMB's and enterprises. Office 365 allows your employees to work anywhere in the world, providing the ultimate flexible working solution.
Word documents, Excel sheets, PowerPoint presentations, emails, calendars, contacts… are all accessible, editable and can be shared from any device and from anywhere with an internet connection.
Let me put this into perspective for you:
You're in London for a meeting at 8am with a new customer. Your office is in Manchester. It's 10pm the night before the meeting and you realise you've forgotten that USB stick with the proposal on it. Oh dear!! A small panic sets in as you start to think who lives close to the office? And more importantly, who is willing to get out of bed and travel to work to email you the proposal?
With Office 365, that panic will NEVER happen again. Simply pop down to the restaurant, café or stay in your room; access the internet, log in to Office 365 and there it is. How? Through SharePoint Online. SharePoint allows your business to create mini intranet type sites whereby you store essential business documents, such as proposals. Therefore no matter where you are located geographically, you can access and edit the same documents remotely, as you would be able to do at your desk. Because your documents are stored on SharePoint, in the cloud (on Microsoft's servers) and you access them via the internet.
What about security?
As far as Microsoft is concerned, security is paramount. Not only are the servers located in datacentres that are impenetrable and practically indestructible, Office 365 has a number of security options for you to utilise. The most important are those that stop data leaking from your business. Microsoft has put various permissions in place within SharePoint so that you can chose which employee has access to which areas of the site, and to which folders and files. So essentially you can lock down SharePoint to be user specific. When it comes to Outlook, Office 365 can recognise sequences of numbers and text which for example, may relate to bank account numbers. Before any email is sent, it can warn or prevent the user from sending that email. Just a couple of examples there, but Microsoft promises it's transparency in where your data is, how it is stored and how it flows. By designing its privacy policies around not only USA but also European and International Laws, it keeps the customers interest at heart and understands the need for security on both IT and legal fronts.
This sounds great but how will it help me with customers?
In this article we've focused on a small percent of features which benefit your business and the productivity of employees. But let's not forget Lync and how it can benefit your company and reduce costs.
Part of the Office 365 package, Lync provides internal instant messaging, remote access and file sharing between employees. It also is used for HD web conferencing.
I'll take the same example of the meeting in London. Well actually, with Lync you probably wouldn't have needed to go to London in the first place; saving on travel and accommodation costs. Simply arrange your meeting with your customer and host a web conference from your HQ in Manchester. Lync also lets you make virtual presentations via PowerPoint for the customer to see whilst you talk them through it. Lync even connects to Skype accounts, so don't be worried if your customer doesn't have Lync, you are still able to present in a professional manner while reducing costs.
So as you can see, Microsoft has designed Office 365 to be flexible, increase productivity and to be customised within your business.
And there's far more to Office 365 than just this, but I hope I've given you a taste of cloud solutions and what they can do for your business.

Graduate Catalog 2003-2004
| Graduate Faculty Associate Professors - Lillian Ashcraft-Eason, Ph.D.; Rachel Buff, Ph.D.; Robert Buffington, Ph.D.; Douglas Forsyth, Ph.D.; Scott Martin, Ph.D.; Apollos Nwauwa, Ph.D.; Peter Way, Ph.D. Assistant Professors - Liette Gidlow, Ph.D.; Beth Griech-Polelle, Ph.D.; Walter Grunden, Ph.D.; Andrew Schocket, Ph.D.; Leigh Ann Wheeler, Ph.D. |
The Department of History offers programs leading to the degrees of Master of Arts, Master of Arts in Teaching, and Doctor of Philosophy. It is also possible to pursue a dual Master of Arts in History and German, History and Spanish, or History and French. In these programs, individual research and knowledge of research by others in the field are integral to students' education. Special attention is given to research techniques, historiography, and policy history; indeed, the Bowling Green policy history program is the most comprehensive in the nation, the only one that emphasizes study in non-American as well as American fields. The doctoral program focuses on policy history. Students examine the interrelationships among politics, institutions, and society, the ways in which policies have often been transformed when put in place, and the consequences of policy decisions. Students are encouraged to work comparatively, across national boundaries. All students whose focus is on American history must take an Asian or Latin American field, as well. M.A. and M.A.T. students choose from six field groups: African History, Europe, American History to 1877 or American History since 1877, Latin America, Policy History or Public History, or East Asia. M.A. and M.A.T. students may choose policy history as a major or minor field group. Ph.D. students must choose policy history as a major field group.
Prerequisites to Graduate Work
Graduate study in history requires a minimum of 24 hours of undergraduate work in history. A maximum of six hours in related areas may be accepted as part of the 24-hour requirement.
Admission Procedure
Applicants seeking admission to the graduate program in history should follow the instructions outlined in the "Graduate Admission" section of this catalog.
In addition to the general Graduate College requirements, an applicant should submit the following items along with the application for admission form:
(1) at least three letters of recommendation from professors of history or a related field and
(2) evidence of ability to do research and writing, such as a copy of a seminar paper or thesis.
Degree Requirements
Master of Arts
Candidates may pursue the M.A. degree under one of two plans.
Plan I: Thirty-six semester hours of graduate credit are required. Candidates must write a thesis and complete an oral examination on the thesis and the field of history in which it lies. This plan includes a language requirement which may be fulfilled either through a dictionary reading knowledge of an approved foreign language or the satisfactory completion of an approved course in quantitative methodology; SOC 369, Introductory Statistics; or CS 500, Computing for Graduate Students. Plan I is recommended for students who plan to pursue doctoral work in history.
Plan II: Thirty-two semester hours of graduate credit are required. Candidates must complete a comprehensive oral examination in two fields of history. Preparation for the examination normally entails the reading of at least six books in each field selected in consultation with two examiners.
Under both plans, a student's program must include a course in historical methods, one course in historiography, and two graduate seminars.
Master's degree candidates may pursue an emphasis in the field of public history, which provides professional education in archives and museum management, local history, and other endeavors through which historians cooperate with larger publics. This program is integrally tied to other graduate offerings in history. Among the course work required for completion of the degree are ten hours in public history courses, a thesis, and an internship involving on-site work experience.
Master of Arts in Teaching
M.A.T. students are required to take 36 semester hours of course work of which 24 to 28 must be in history and eight to 12 must be in education. There is a final written comprehensive examination in history.
Doctor of Philosophy
General Requirements: The doctoral program in history requires the completion of 90 hours of approved graduate credit beyond the bachelor's degree, including a maximum of 30 hours of credit for research on the dissertation. All candidates for the Ph.D. degree must spend at least two consecutive semesters beyond the master's degree, or equivalent, in residence at the University, during which time a minimum of six hours of work must be completed satisfactorily each semester.
The Ph.D. foreign language requirement may be satisfied in one of the following ways:
(1) passing a dictionary-assisted reading proficiency examination in two foreign languages;
(2) passing a dictionary-assisted reading proficiency examination in one foreign language of an approved course or courses in quantitative methodology, to be chosen by the student in consultation with the graduate coordinator and/or the student's major advisor;
(3) demonstration of high proficiency in one foreign language.
In the case of students from countries where English is not the language of instruction, satisfaction of the University's English proficiency requirement satisfies the history foreign language requirement, except when research is to be conducted in a language other than English or the student's native tongue.
Examinations: Admission to Ph.D. candidacy is granted following the successful completion of preliminary examinations, which consist of written and oral exercises covering the student's four fields.
Dissertation: Dissertations may be written in areas of American, European, Latin American, and East Asian history, but all dissertations must have a focus on private or public institutional decision-making processes.
Graduate Courses
Please access graduate courses online at http://webapps.bgsu.edu/courses/search.php. Graduate courses offered by the Department of History use the prefix: HIST.

Peter Nero (born Bernard Nierow, 1934, Brooklyn) is a pianist and New York native who started with Paul Whiteman, then moved up to symphony until the early '60s, when RCA Victor signed him and successfully promoted him into a pop music interpreter. He won the 1961 Grammy for Best New Artist. His lush orchestrated albums continued through the early '70s, when he returned to a harder jazz format, recording with a trio. Nierow began playing piano as child, learning the instrument quite rapidly; by the age of 11, he was playing Haydn concertos. However, he was restless and quickly grew tired of classical music, becoming infatuated with jazz as a teenager. In fact, after Nierow finished studying music at Brooklyn College, he became a jazz pianist. However, instead of playing straight jazz, he created a swinging hybrid of jazz and classical music. Nierow didn't have much success as a performer, which meant he had to take a gig as a saloon pianist in a New York club called the Hickory House. Unsatisfied with the comprimises he was making at the club, he headed out to Las Vegas, where he didn't find much success. He returned to New York, taking a lesser job at the Hickory House. For several years, he played New York's club circuit before he came to the attention of Stan Greeson, an executive at RCA Records. Convinced that Nierow had star potential, Greeson signed the pianist and had him change his name to Peter Nero; he also persuaded Nero to add pop songs like "Over the Rainbow" to his repertoire. Piano Forte, Peter Nero's first album, was released in 1961 and he began touring the country. That same year, he won the Grammy for Best New Artist. Nero's popularity continued to rise throughout the early '60s; his jazzy hybrid of pop, classical, swing, and bop became one of the most popular mainstream sounds of the era. Eventually, he became the musical director of the Philadelphia Pops Orchestra, where he frequently performed classical arrangements of pop songs. In the '70s, he returned to playing jazz in trios, though he still made orchestral records occasionally. ~ Cub Koda

A small point, ignore at your peril: Iraq and Afghanistan War veterans. They served this country, often at great personal cost, both physically, mentally, or both. They then come home to a hollowed VA Healthcare system, find themselves at a disadvantage for jobs, and come to see they are mocked for being "moochers" and "welfare queens" of "the 47%" by the same party that urged them to go to war just a decade ago because it was the "patriotic thing to do." Want to lose the military vote for a generation or more? Keep saying what you're saying about our men and women in uniform.
I'm an independent (No Party, technically), and watched both debates. I didn't see much ado about abortion on the Democrats' side. I saw a lot of discussion about Medicare and the economy. The Republicans mostly talked about the debt ceiling and their personal stories. Well, except for Clint Eastwood, who shared some personal anger toward a chair he named Obama. If you think abortion is shameful, don't have one. If you want one, have one. It seems the real issue is, "Who pays?" Let's start there, and keep the idea of banning or expanding the practice out of the discussion. My grandparents survived the Great Depression and WWII and they're spinning in their graves over what both parties have become. Eisenhower, now HE was a Republican!

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – A real-life "Grinch" stole Christmas from some of the neediest people in Kentuckiana on Wednesday, making off with a Salvation Army Red Kettle, according to a news release from the charity organization.
Lt. Boris Davis with the Salvation Army said the incident happened around 6 p.m. Wednesday right under the nose of a bell ringer outside the Kroger store at 9440 Brownsboro Road near The Summit.
Davis said the Kroger manager and a customer chased the thief for a short distance, but the person got away in a car. They were able to write down the license plate number.
"We're thankful our bell ringer was not hurt in the incident, but it's actually not that unusual for this to happen," Davis said. "It happens every year at least somewhere, and it's something we alert our bell ringers to when they go through training."
Davis said volunteers and part-timers are told to stand in front of the kettles for visibility, be aware of their surroundings at all times and never give chase if someone steals from them.
Davis said the perpetrators in these types of cases often are the very people the Salvation Army aims to help.
"It's a temporary setback," said Davis, "but we know the generosity of the community will help carry us through as they do every year."

Destination Unknown
Destination Unknown surfing video by Matt Wybenga. Matt Wybenga has been on the scene for years, although you may not be familiar with his name. As the primary cinematographer for Dangvu Media, Matt gained experience shooting both land and water during the production of The Faulkland Frontier and many others. Matt's been doing his own thing for several years now, popping up as the shooter of choice for Billabong's ultra-secret missions, Surfline's clandestine forays into Baja and most recently, the initial river surfing expedition to China.
Culling footage from the last several years of exclusive trips with the planet's best surfers, Matt's newest production, Destination Unknown, gives the viewer a chance to experience these sessions in high-quality, the fulfillment of tidbits that have up until now only been offered as online teasers.

This is my page dedicated to the women of the comic books and the sports fields that I admire. Pictures, thoughts, comments, etc. Inspired by all the great comic book tumblrs I've found!
Australian Jessica Watson in 2010, when, at the age of 16, she became the youngest woman to successfully sail solo around the world. She did it in 220 days.
Dutch teen, Laura Dekker, will also be 16 by the time she completes her solo sailing trip around the world this January. She took a longer time, 508 days, as she rested up in ports along the way, and did self-study of her schoolwork.
The Guinness Book of World Records has now removed all records having to do with "Youngest this" and "Youngest that" to discourage unsafe attempts by children seeking world records.

Stamping presses transform sheet metal into functional products by applying the force of a moving ram to tooling located within the press. Stamping's primary advantage is the ability to transform two-dimensional sheet metal stock into three-dimensional finished components at a relatively high rate of speed with minimum operator intervention.
This Sheet Metal Stamping Presses program provides a broad understanding of stamping presses, and includes segments on: mechanical presses, hydraulic presses, press controls, and press feeding.
The Mechanical Presses segment outlines the advantages/disadvantages and similarities/differences between the two most common types of presses - the gap-frame press and the straightside press. Defined and detailed are the various press components, including: the crown, columns, gibs, bed , bolster, flywheel, gears, clutch, crankshaft, pitman, connection, slide/ram, counterbalance, and brake. Drive arrangements, such as direct drive, single gear reduction, double gear reduction, and eccentric geared presses are also illustrated.
The Hydraulic Presses segment explains the major differences between hydraulic presses and mechanical presses, highlighting the advantages of hydraulic systems and press selection factors.
The Press Controls segment features the range of controls - electro-mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, electronic, and others used to safely control press operations. Computer numerical control or 'CNC' systems, programmable logic controllers or 'PLC's', and self-checking/diagnostic features, are also detailed.
The Press Feeding segment covers coil stock and blank feeding methods, as well as coil line components. These components include: payoff reels, cradles, stock straightening/leveling, slide feeds, roll feeds, gripper feeds, and scrap processing.

Thanks for the tips!
Does the FM Radio work for anyone? For me, it just hangs at "FM Radio is being launched, please wait..." .. Was hoping for a working FM radio tuner. *Edit* I was able to get Spirit Light to work on this rom, so this may be a moot point.
Noticed that there isn't any car dock app included. This is fine as you can download car dock apps from the market, just thought I would mention it for maybe future releases. I liked the simple car dock included in the Liquid Smooth 3.2 rom.
Other then that, everything is working very well. Thank you!

I like this ROM, however, I tried to revert back to Rubix 0.4 rom and it is now stuck at the boot icon screen. Just fyi if anyone tries to revert back to last rom or stock os you may have to flash SBF. Here is a link I found on how to do this.
[Guide] Flashing Droid X SBF - Droid X - RootzWiki
SBF'ed back to stock Gingerbread and rerooted all is well!
I have a couple questions:
My MAC address for my WiFi changes for each boot. Not a huge problem but I have my home WiFi setup for MAC filtering so how can I force it or to have it stop changing?
Google Music crashes when I try and run it, any idea?
What is Open Recovery and where do I download the .zip file and how do I use Open Recovery? Thanks again for the great port!
You could install ROM Manager and flash ClockworkMod Recovery.
I may run this rom in the future when all the bugs get ironed out. Netflix not working is not cool.

My So-Called Life is an American teen drama television series created by Winnie Holzman and produced by Edward Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz. It originally aired on ABC from August 25, 1994, to January 26, 1995 and was distributed by The Bedford Falls Company with ABC Productions. Set at the fictional Liberty High School, it follows the emotional travails of several teenagers who are all in the social circle of main character Angela Chase, played by Claire Danes. The critically acclaimed but short-lived show ended in a cliffhanger with the expectation that it would be picked up for an additional season, but it was officially canceled on May 15, 1995.

Webware Radar: Survey: 80 percent of Web users want privacy
Burst Media, a company that provides advertising services to Web publishers, announced the results of a survey Thursday, which asked 4,000 Web users how online privacy impacts their Internet experience. It found that privacy is a major concern for 80.1 percent of respondents who claim they want their personal information kept private.
Although privacy is a major concern for all age groups, only 67.3 percent of respondents aged 18 to 24 years worry about privacy, while 85.7 percent of those aged 55 years and older are concerned about their privacy online. Of those surveyed, 62.5 … Read more

In addition to the state's more than 1,000 public school districts, Texas offers a variety of alternative schooling options for parents. These include charter schools, which are monitored and accredited under the statewide testing and accountability system; private schools, which may be accredited through various organizations; and home schooling, which is not accredited or regulated by any state agency or commission. Also available are online learning programs and high school equivalency programs. For more information on each of these alternative schooling options, follow the links below.
Charter SchoolsIn 1995, the 74th Texas Legislature gave the State Board of Education authority to grant open-enrollment charter schools. These schools are subject to fewer state laws than other public schools with the idea of ensuring fiscal and academic accountability without undue regulation of instructional methods or pedagogical innovation. Like school districts, charter schools are monitored and accredited under the statewide testing and accountability system.
Private Schools (outside source)TEA does not have oversight of private schools in Texas; however, the agency works with the Texas Private School Accreditation Commission to ensure that students can easily transfer from non-public to public schools and that teacher service at non-public schools is recognized at public schools for salary purposes.
Home SchoolingIn 1995 the Texas Supreme Court affirmed the decision in the class action lawsuit Leeper v. Arlington Indep. School Dist. that home schools can legally operate as private schools in Texas. According to the ruling, home schools must be conducted in a bona fide manner, using a written curriculum consisting of reading, spelling, grammar, math and a course in good citizenship. The Texas Education Agency has no regulatory authority over home schools, and the State of Texas does not award diplomas to students who are home schooled.
Texas Virtual Schools NetworkTxVSN, which launched in 2009, provides Texas students and schools access to interactive, collaborative, instructor-led online courses taught by state certified and appropriately credentialed teachers. The TxVSN is made up of two components: the TxVSN statewide course catalog, which provides supplemental online courses to students in grades 8-12, and the TxVSN online schools program, which offers full-time virtual instruction through eligible public schools to Texas public school students in grades 3-12.
High School Equivalency Program (HSEP)The High School Equivalency Program, or In-School GED Option Program, is designed to provide an alternative for high school students, age 16 and over, who are at risk of not graduating from high school and earning a high school diploma.
GED ®The GED is a high school equivalency test available to students age 18 and older who have not earned a high school diploma and are not currently enrolled in an accredited high school.

Weekend Roundup: And Sparty Makes Three Edition, 1/27/14
/Ahhhhh nature...
So, basketball. This roller coaster ride is bound to have some additional peaks and valleys before we can put a final label on it. But to not celebrate the enormity of the last three victories, particularly the one that occurred in East Lansing, would be doing a disservice to top 10 victories everywhere. Therefore, it's a celebration bitches. After a brief December hiatus, we are back in THE discussion. And we are getting very close to always being in that discussion. That's what a successful program is. Copy this plan and use it in Schembechler Hall please. Thanks.

Drs. Solbiati , Tonolini, and Cova are with the Department of Radiology, General Hospital, Busto Arsizio, Italy.
Currently, percutaneous radiofrequency (RF) ablation is widely employed for minimally invasive treatment of primary and metastatic liver tumors. Its safety and effectiveness have been demonstrated in several large studies and its advantages include lower morbidity and mortality compared with surgical resection, the possibility of repeated treatment sessions if local recurrence or new lesions develop, and markedly reduced treatment costs and hospital stays. 1-7 The results of RF ablation for both hepatocellular carcinoma and liver metastases compare favorably with those reported in recent surgical series, although patients are not usually candidates for resection. 8-10
Recent technical improvements including internally cooled electrodes, 11 cluster electrodes, 12 pulsed current application, 13 and peritumoral saline injection prior to energy deposition 14 were developed in order to increase the extent of induced coagulation and, therefore, to allow the treatment of larger tumors.
Thermal ablative therapies destroy neoplastic lesions. Coagulation necrosis is achieved through a mechanism of protein denaturation and irreversible inactivation of cellular and mitochondrial enzymes and of nucleic acid-histone complexes. The treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a cirrhotic liver using RF ablation benefits from the "oven effect": the surrounding, densely fibrotic, and poorly vascularized liver tissue and the fibrous capsule hinder thermal conduction away from the target lesion, and thus maintain optimal heat diffusion in the softer, usually well-circumscribed tumoral nodule. 9 Conversely, liver metastases are not encapsulated and tend to infiltrate the surrounding, well-vascularized liver that can act as a heat sink to limit tissue heating. 6,7 Therefore RF ablation should aim to necrotize not only the metastatic nodule, but also a 0.5 to 1.0 cm thick rim (ie, a surgical "safety margin") of surrounding liver tissue in order to kill infiltrating tumor undetectable by currently available imaging methods and reduce risk of recurrence.
Diagnostic imaging is of paramount importance in all of the four steps of tumor ablation: 1) detection of lesions and selection of patients for treatment; 2) targeting of lesion(s) with optimal positioning of the energy applicator; 3) immediate assessment of therapeutic result; and 4) long-term follow-up. In our experience, the use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) represents a significant improvement in each of these steps and may optimize patients' management and treatment results.
Herewith we report our experience with the use of a second-generation ultrasound (US) contrast agent (SonoVue , sulphur hexafluoride, Bracco, Milan, Italy) and low mechanical index (MI) (or low acoustic pressure) continuous-mode ultrasound, employing a new imaging technique (Contrast Pulse Sequencing [CPS], Acuson/Siemens, Mountain View, CA). Since it has been demonstrated that the detectability of contrast agents at low MIs can be improved by processing received nonlinear energy that exists in the same frequency band as the transmitted signal, CPS processes signals from multiple transmit pulses to extract nonlinearly generated signals in the fundamental frequency. This can improve sensitivity and specificity to contrast agents compared to second harmonic imaging techniques. 15
Detection of Lesions and Selection of Patients
Early detection and accurate assessment of the extent of neoplastic liver disease at the time of diagnosis or during the course of treatment is crucial to optimal patient management and may result in prolonged survival and improved chance for cure. Patients with chronic liver disease/cirrhosis may be treated with RF ablation for up to 4 to 5 HCC and/or dysplastic lesions, in absence of portal thrombosis and liver function decompensation. Patients with previously treated colorectal or other primary tumors may undergo RF ablation of 1 to 4 metachronous liver metastases, each smaller than 4 cm.
Multiphasic contrast-enhanced helical computed tomography (CT) and dynamic gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provide convenient staging of hepatic and extrahepatic neoplastic involvement. Conventional ultrasound, which represents the most widely available low-cost imaging modality for the screening of liver disease, is less accurate than CT and MRI for the detection of focal lesions, particularly of smaller ones (<1 cm).
In our preliminary experience, CEUS with SonoVue and CPS further improved the results achieved with a first-generation contrast agent and color-power Doppler 16 and with low-MI harmonic imaging. 17 In the first 3 patients, conventional doses of 2.4 or 4.8 mL of SonoVue were administered in rapid bolus injection, followed by a 3- to 5-mL saline flush. For the remaining 6 patients, progressively decreasing doses of SonoVue (up to 0.6 to 1.2 mL) were given and no significant impairment of image quality and sensitivity was found. The whole vascular phase was studied in all patients, consisting of arterial (15 to 25 sec following the injection, with some delay in cirrhotic patients), early portal (45 to 60 sec) and full portal phase (90 to 240 sec).
For local staging of both primary and metastatic liver cancer, CEUS with CPS demonstrated sensitivity rates equal to that of helical CT in 7 (77.8 %) of 9 cases and in the remaining 2 (22.2%) cases, it was superior to helical CT, particularly for infracentimetric lesions (Figure 1).
During pretreatment CEUS, images and/or movie clips were stored digitally in order to "map" the lesions to be targeted during the operating session and to compare pretreatment findings with posttreatment enhanced images.
RF Procedure and Targeting of Lesions
Although ultrasound represents the modality of choice for guiding ablative procedures, inherent limitations of conventional US (related to small size, poor conspicuity, and inhomogeneity of liver parenchyma) may hinder the targeting of focal tumors. In these occurrences, CEUS with CPS is repeated in the interventional room after inducing anesthesia and the electrode is inserted during the vascular phase in which the maximum lesion conspicuity is achieved, eg, in the arterial phase for hypervascular lesions such as HCC and in the portal phase for hypovascular metastases. In our experience with CPS, 11 malignancies in 6 patients were punctured during the vascular phases, with 100% targeting accuracy.
All the 17 malignancies were treated using RF ablation: either single or clustered 17G cool-tip ablation electrodes connected to an RF generator (CC1, Radionics, Burlington, MA) were inserted into the targets percutaneously, under general anesthesia for 12 to 24 minutes.
Assessment of Therapeutic Response
Whereas most RF ablation series report a high rate of apparently complete tumor necrosis on initial postablation evaluation, a moderate rate of local recurrences probably resulting from a lack of radicality may occur. 18 Achieving only partial necrosis implies the need to perform retreatments with increased costs, patient discomfort, greater technical difficulties, and a higher rate of failure. 8 When the first RF treatment has not eradicated the tumor effectively, it is extremely difficult to differentiate active tumor from coagulation necrosis, and therefore to target residual tumor foci. 8
Ultrasound provides real-time guidance of ablation treatments, but sonographic and color/power Doppler findings observed during the ablation procedure provide only a gross estimate of the extent of induced coagulation necrosis and, therefore, are not useful to reliably assess the completeness of the treatment. Furthermore, additional repositioning of the RF electrode may become obscured because during the application of thermal energy a progressively increasing hyperechogenic "cloud" due to gas microbubble formation and tissue vaporization appears for 5 to 8 minutes around the distal probe. The most important imaging finding that suggests complete treatment of a focal liver tumor is the disappearance of any previously visualized vascular enhancement on contrast-enhanced images. 19 This assessment is usually achieved using either biphasic helical CT or dynamic gadolinium-enhanced MRI. Radiologic-pathologic correlation studies demonstrated that both modalities can predict the extent of coagulation area to within 2 to 3 mm. 3
The lack of neoplastic or parenchymal contrast enhancement in any vascular phase throughout the entire lesion is the hallmark of complete ablation. This evaluation is easily feasible for hypervascular HCCs, whereas for hypovascular metastases the confident assessment of complete ablation can only be inferred based upon the necrosis volume exceeding the original lesion and a 0.5 to 1 cm "safety margin" in every diameter. Unfortunately, neither CT nor MRI can be performed during the ablative procedures under general anesthesia, unless treatment is performed under CT or MR guidance.
First-generation contrast agents with color Doppler and power Doppler 16,20,21 and, more recently, with pulse inversion sonography 22,23,24 have been used successfully to evaluate the therapeutic response to ablative treatments, demonstrating the capability to detect persistently perfused tissue consistent with residual viable tumor, with a reported accuracy for detection of incompletely ablated areas ranging from 75% to 82%.
Our preliminary experience with CPS and SonoVue was even more encouraging. In 9 patients, 17 liver malignancies (9 metastases from colorectal cancer and 8 primary liver tumors) ranging in size from 1.0 to 3.9 cm, preliminarly studied with CPS and SonoVue, underwent immediate postablation evaluation using the same modality, 5 to 10 minutes after the assumed completion of the RF session, with the patient still under general anesthesia. Comparison of immediate postablation images with stored pre-ablation scans was performed in all cases.
For 15 of the 17 lesions, no residual enhancement was demonstrated either inside the or at the periphery of the tumors (Figures 1 and 2). These lesions did not undergo further treatment and CT scans performed the following day confirmed the complete treatment in all 15 tumors. No immediate CEUS-guided targeted retreatment was needed. In the remaining 2 malignancies, no residual enhancement was found with CEUS, but the following CT scan depicted few tiny intralesional enhancing areas suggesting local regrowth.
Based on our experience, CEUS with CPS and a second-generation US contrast agent is extremely accurate for the detection, local staging, CEUS-guided ablation, and immediate assessment of the therapeutic results. This simplifies patient management and reduces costs by decreasing the number of RF procedures and follow-up examinations. *
