Ask any hockey fan over the age of 40 about the relationship between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Montreal Canadiens and chances are they will wax poetically about the legendary battles between the NHL's two most storied franchises. They will bring up names like Richard, Kennedy, Beliveau, Mahovlich, Plante and Sawchuk and discuss the fierce on-ice battles between these arch rivals.
Ask anyone under the age of 40 about the rivalry and chances are they will wonder what you're talking about.
While there remain many fans who try to keep the rivalry going by travelling to their opponent's rinks, sporting enemy gear and screaming 'Go Leafs Go' or 'OLE, OLE, OLE' at the top of their lungs, the passion between the opposing fan bases has diminished significantly over the past few decades.
Once upon a time, an encounter between the Habs and Buds was reason to celebrate. Now it appears to be little more than a mid-February game in an 82-game schedule.
Is it possible that the rivalry no longer exists?
While the Canadiens and Leafs remain two of the league's marquee franchises at the box office and in merchandising, the lustre of their once historical rivalry has dulled somewhat by lack of playoff encounters and extended periods of mediocrity.
The Leafs' lack of success over the last four decades or so has been well documented, but the Canadiens have had their own fair share of lack of success over the past 20 years - mired in the their longest-ever Stanley Cup drought without lifting hockey's Holy Grail since 1993.
Thursday night's clash between the two former titans will be the fifth of six meetings this season. Thus far, the sides have split the series with both teams holding serve at home. While either side would undoubtedly love to pick up two points in the contest, the urgency to beat their opponent would not be any greater than say, if the Anaheim Ducks were rolling into town.
The fact of the matter is that these two teams no longer appear to have a significant 'hate on' for each other. Obviously the roster overhaul of the past few seasons in Toronto plays a role, however the fact that these two teams have played four games against each other this season and the lone scrap occurred between non-fighters P.K. Subban and Joffrey Lupul seems almost inconceivable for a pair of franchises that once sported the likes of John Ferguson, Tiger Williams, Chris Nilan and Tie Domi.
The merits of fighting in the sport can obviously be debated; but look at the most recent encounter between the Canadiens and their truer rivals - the Boston Bruins. While the game deteriorated into a bit of a gong-show by the third period, what was clear was that familiarity builds contempt and over the past few seasons these two teams have developed a genuine dislike of each other. Look no further then the boxscore which shows a game that saw the two teams combine for 182 minutes in penalties and a goalie fight.
Nobody is asking for James Reimer to skate the length of the ice to punch a goaltender he has never faced before in Alex Auld in the face, but a certain amount of animosity couldn't hurt if either side hopes to reignite the former flames in this rivalry.
Most sports fans believe that true rivalries are built in the post-season, if that's true then there is little wonder why these two teams have little anger for each other. While Canada's two oldest teams have faced each other 15 times in the playoffs, including five times with the Stanley Cup at stake, they have not met in post-season anger since 1978. To put that in perspective, the only player on the Leafs roster even alive when the two hockey giants collided in the playoffs is JS Giguere, who was just one-year old at the time.
So if it has been determined that the Canadiens chosen dance partner in hockey's 'New World Order' is the Bruins both through recent bad blood and previous playoff encounters, then who are the Leafs' chief combatants?
While Toronto has not had a sniff of the post-season since prior to the lockout, it's clear from their most recent playoff success that their most obvious rivals, both geographically and in head-to-head elimination competitions, are the Ottawa Senators. But anyone who watched last week's lacklustre 'Battle of On-terrible' between those two teams will attest that even that rivalry has lost a great deal of its previous shine. Considering the Senators lineup is nearly completely different from the one that they opened the season with, the lack of passion between the two seems almost inevitable.
If not the Senators then perhaps the Buffalo Sabres? Buffalo is actually closer to Toronto than Ottawa in terms of distance and Leafs fans tend to travel en masse to the Queen City when the Blue and White are in town. But once again, these two teams have very little in terms of playoff history. Facing each other only once way back in the Eastern Conference Final in 1999.
So are the Maple Leafs without a true rival, or does it remain the Habs by default, or at the end of the day does it even matter if they have a traditional rival?
Our question for you in the latest edition of Netcrashing is the following: 'Does the Canadiens-Maple Leafs rivalry still exist?'

Do you think I could get that 501st approved?

Thanks Ben! I think I'll get one so I can sleep in them! Boba Fett PJs!
I'm actually going to buy one of these and wear it around sdcc, just to see what the real Boba's say.
They look like Boba's Big Boy PJ's
Did'nt I just see this on ebay for a buy it now price of $3999.99
Darn it, GBH ... ya had to start a thread for Fett gloves when it turns out they're not even needed.
I feel sorry for the poor schmucks they got to actually wear these monstrosities. I just hope they didn't agree to get paid from a percentage of the sales.
Of course, then again, the makers are banking on people gullible enough to fall for this.:o
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! Why have I wasted my time scratch building a suit?..........Oh yeah cos those things are total BOBBINS
PP Sent!
*insert vomiting emoticon here*
'nuff said.
Altho, the gauntlets might be reworkable for a budget/custom mando.......... I'm going to have to check one of these out in-person and see.
The sad thing is that eventually, someone here will see someone wearing this at a con........
Well...there was this one event a few years back, where the orchestra was playing...a guy showed up in a rubies jango costume...the one like that...with a poncho over it, who was trying to pass off as one of us...
That's Hawt!
I actually like the gauntlets. Is that bad?
It's licensed.
Compared to the "Ben Cooper" I wore in 1979 on Halloween, it's like having access to Skywalker Ranch/ILM archives.
I am intimidated by the beauty of this costume. They might as well close down TDH!
this costume will be the death of us all!!!!what can we do no one gonna want to see our works with this screen accurate piece on sale for 60$....and they second as PJ's??? can your costumes do that?
hey, where's the jet pack ?
the jet pack was never really there...its only an illusion made to trick us costume makers so we look like jerks......boba comes from the same world as super man thats why he can fly
anyone ever tried to re-paint the "armor" "gauntlets" "helmet" ? maybe it'll be a bit better lookin than before ?
you had to ask

08:19 AM ET 08.21 | Jeff Samardzija isn't all that far removed from his time at Notre Dame, but he came off old-school over the weekend after the Irish announced a sartorial switch. It doesn't matter that [Samardzija] has not even seen the university's new uniforms and helmets; he already knows he doesn't like them. ... Samardzija, a receiver for the Irish from 2003-06, claimed he hasn't seen them, but it didn't prevent him from commenting. "Well, it seems to be the thing these days for recruiting, huh?" said Samardzija, who had a school-record 179 receptions at Notre Dame with 2,593 receiving yards and 27 receiving touchdowns. "See how much confetti and hoopla you can put out there to get guys to come to your school. You'd think playing on TV every Saturday would be enough."
FN has just set an all time low for a thread.

Previously, when filling in any forms that contained the question "Please state your religion" I would, with out much thought, put "Church of England" as that was how I was brought up by my parents even though we as a family seldom went to church. Now, after reading the God Delusion I proudly put "None".
When asked the same question when filling in forms for my children I enter"Emily has not yet decide which, if any, religion to follow"
Many thanks for a wonderful book

Newbie is amazed-you seem nice!
I wanted to say THANKS from newbie from Texas,Nevada California, Maryland and now West Virginia. No, I am not running from the law ha ha ha----just had a career for 30 years (music)where the jobs would either go dry or you moved because of a career opportunity. I was in Maryland for 21 years, then sold my condo where my wife was president of the assoc. for 6 years, then we got ONE TOO MANY DOGS, and after we helped our neighbors get through TWO fires (we did all the insurance stuff for the residents)they said we had to go. So we went to West Virginia, and got more room anyway.
Anyway, after 9/11, people stopped coming to DC (Maryland is 20 minutes)to have their parties, so musicians stopped making any money in this area. I also heard it's the same nationwide.So I started working in sales. We are BLESSED to have a pretty big house on an acre of land and people when we first moved here kept giving (dumping) their dogs on us, saying "if you don't take her. we're gonna shoot her. Welcome to a farm-ranch mentality( I dont want to say West Virginia)We have 6 now, and they are our family and prime interest. Thats too much about us right now, more later. THANKS |

Tom Brady swears on live TV, says Patriots played 'poopy'
Tom Brady is, by most accounts, a golden boy. But after the Patriots fell to the Dolphins, 24-20, Sunday, he was down and brown.
"We had plenty of chances all day," Brady said on Patriots 5th quarter on WBZ-Boston. "We made some good plays and we made some (poopy) plays as well."

Week 4 for Turlock Youth Football was both good and bad.
Redwood City played host to more than 40 amateur female fighters on Saturday in the third annual Beautiful Brawlers Boxing tournament, riding the wave of national popularity involving women and contact sports.
The second week of Turlock Youth Football season saw the 49ers sweep their opponents, the Merced Bears.
Turlock Youth Football opened the 2013 season with the Vikings hosting the Manteca Jaguars and the 49ers traveling to Ceres to take on the Seahawks.
With Round Robin completed last weekend in Oakdale, both the Turlock Vikings and Turlock 49ers have a better understanding of the necessary changes needed for their teams to start the 2013 season.
The Turlock Titans are starting their 2013 season with a new name and new partnership. The Titans are now the Turlock Jr. Pride after the former Titans President and Pitman High Coach Thad Moren decided to combine their programs to begin a new era in the gridiron.
The Modesto Babe Ruth baseball team reached the Pacific Southwest Regional Tournament championship on Wednesday after winning five consecutive games, only to be defeated by the San Benito squad from Hollister in a tight 12-11 game.
The California State University, Stanislaus Warrior Athletics program will be holding camps that provide opportunities for local athletes of all ages to hone their skills in a fun environment. Camps and clinics in a number of sports and activities will be offered, including women's soccer, baseball, women's tennis, volleyball and softball.
The girls of the U10 Modesto Ajax United soccer club are currently ranked third in the Nor-Cal rankings, after winning their fourth tournament this past weekend.
It may still be July, but the Turlock Youth Football 49ers and Vikings began their season on Monday at Turlock High with conditioning and basic drills.
The Modesto Babe Ruth baseball team is two wins away from claiming the Pacific Southwest Regional Tournament and reaching the Babe Ruth World Series for a second consecutive year after defeating Vallejo, 10-2, and Riverton, 23-3.
Success on the mat has been easy to come by as of late for Turlock High's Isaac Bertalotto. After securing his first state medal last season with the Bulldogs, Bertalotto continued to wrestle and became an All-American in April with his third place finish at the USAW/Cliff Keen Folkstyle Tournament.
The perfect season happened. The Turlock Seadogs are 8-0 after earning the Mid-Valley Swimming League title on Saturday at Lathrop High with a 99 point lead over second place Ripon Sea Lions.
The Modesto Babe Ruth baseball team dominated the Roosevelt squad in a five inning mercy-rule victory, 18-3, in Friday's first round of the Pacific Southwest Regional Tournament.
The Turlock American 11-year-old All-Stars were knocked out of the Nor Cal Division II State tournament after playing back-to-back games at Soderquist Park on Sunday and Monday, getting outscored 15-2, including a shutout.

The Hartford is offering an auto-insurance discount on electric cars, again putting a financial incentive on reducing emissions from gasoline-powered vehicles.
The 5 percent discount is available to new policyholders with electric vehicles in Alabama, Arizona, California, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Oklahoma and Texas. The discount will become available in all states by the end of the year. Current policyholders with electric cars will receive a 5 percent discount when they renew their policies.
Since 2009, The Hartford Financial Services Group has offered a 5 percent discount to owners of hybrid vehicles.
"The Hartford is committed to environmental protection and we are delighted to encourage others to engage in the effort," said Andy Napoli, president of Consumer Markets at The Hartford. "This financial incentive is a small way we can thank our customers for helping to foster a greener environment. Together, our efforts will contribute to a more sustainable future."
The Hartford and some other property-casualty insurers, which pay billions to cover damage from hurricanes and other severe weather, have taken a stance to reduce the burning of fossil fuels. The Hartford has said it "recognizes the clear consensus within the scientific community that climate change is of real and increasing concern."

Can I become pregnant while I'm going through menopause?
Once a woman has gone a full year without a period, she is now considered menopausal and she is considered that she does not need birth control any more. But don't do it beforehand, because there is that perimenopausal woman who can still get pregnant.

I asked Boss to put the how I screwed up thread to bed because while what happened to me is important, so is each new day.
So, again I want to thank the well wishers, and the stories sent to me in private. I've now had the equivalent of 4 months of therapy, counting my time inside the hospital. I see my therapist from there once a week. She agreed to take me on as a patient in her new private practice. I take my medication everyday. And I haven't watched more than 5 hours of television since I have been out. I did get food poisoning yesterday, so that was fun. woof. Today I start my first radio shift since 1990. The college i work for was the school i attended a loooong time ago as a radio/tv major. It recently celebrated its 35th birthday, and being there, on the air kind of put the bug in me. So i signed up for a class, and my first shift is today at 4:00-8:00 Central time. And yes... we stream live. the link is in my sig if anyone wants a chuckle. No, I won't be going by TRF. My actual name is Tommy. Some of you know that though. My first post in the other thread talked about what I did wrong, to a degree, and the solution being talk and listen to your spouse/partner. I don't think it is entirely correct anymore. Listen to yourself. Be the best you, you can be. I'm not suddenly "cured". I struggle on a lot of days, but I opened myself up to a huge support system. Savafan, Brisco, Raisor etc. Everyone that added me on facebook. Yeah Puffy, I'm looking at you. Reconnecting with old friends, and friends i consider family. Living instead of watching others pretend to do things. Sticking around after a softball game to talk and enjoy the company of my friends instead of rushing home to ice everything down. little things. And posting here helps. I journal for me, blog for me and post for me. to get it out every way i can to not hold on to anger and resentment or worst of all, sadness. I'm trying the adage of learning what i can change and what i can't and gaining the wisdom to know the difference. So i thank you for indulging my rants and posts. I thank you all for the advice and welcome more of it. I thank all of you that cared enough to... well, care. About someone you have never met, an anonymous name on a messageboard. This really is the best site on earth.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Continuing a look at issues of interest in the final week of the 2013 legislative session:
Gambling: Not entirely surprising that a bill to cut the 2013 table games licensing fee for the four racetrack casinos from $2.5 million to $1.5 million (SB615) appears dead in the House of Delegates.
Opposition from Senate Republicans was adamant and unanimous. All nine Republicans voted against it in the 23-10 passage vote in the Senate, and Republicans account for 46 of 100 seats in the House.
The bill was primarily intended to aid Wheeling Island racetrack casino, hard hit by competitors in metro Pittsburgh and Columbus, and the House is effectively calling Wheeling Island's bluff that management will surrender the casino's table games license June 30 if the tax cut is not enacted.
Meanwhile, given that the state's five existing casinos are being hurt to varying degrees from competition in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland, the bill to add a sixth casino at a rural resort development located at the struggling Highlands Golf Course, near Franklin in Pendleton County, seems a wild long shot (SB492).
Frankly, it might not have made it as far as it has without having super-lobbyist Nick Casey representing LGI Land, the Texas company that bought the golf resort at a bankruptcy auction in 2007.
One important piece of legislation regarding the state's casino industry could be the bill to study problems facing the gaming industry (SB656).
One disadvantage that immediately comes to mind: The state's racetrack casinos pay a 7 percent tax on video slots revenues to subsidize live racing at the tracks -- a tax the stand-alone casinos in the neighboring states don't pay.
Speaking of, Sam Burdette, president of the state Greyhound Owners and Breeders Association, stopped by to make the novel suggestion that the state racetrack casinos could counter the out-of-state competition by promoting, rather than marginalizing, live racing at the tracks.
Burdette, who last year got $60,458 from the state greyhound breeders' fund, noted that the local racetrack casino, Mardi Gras, has long since closed off its indoor grandstand for other uses, allowing only diners at one of the casino's restaurants a place to bet on the greyhounds in an indoor setting.
I suggested that was probably a marketing decision on the casino's part, not an intentional effort to marginalize greyhound racing, noting that racetrack video slots were legalized in the early 1990s as a way to keep the racetracks from going under.

Best Place to Get Dad That Other Thing San Francisco 2006 - Sally Beauty Supply
2300 16th St.
San Francisco, CA 94103
Take some advice: Though Cable Car Clothiers has nearly everything else you might want to get for your pop (see above), don't ask about picking up a straight razor. You'll be quickly put in your place when the lads behind the counter roll their eyes and tell you such razors are technically illegal, and they're tired of everyone asking. But we think the Cable Car clerks should check across town: We found a straight razor under the pink banner of Sally Beauty Supply. Until you've used one (or kissed someone who has), it's impossible to describe how superior a straight razor shave is to even the most high-tech multi-blade commercial shaving tool. The international beauty supply chain might not be the first place that comes to mind when searching for a device with a thuggish (not to mention manly) reputation, but most area locations carry them.

Stan JarzabekAssociate Professor
I received M.Sc. from Dept. of Mathematics and PhD from Dept. of Informatics at Warsaw University. My recent work is in area of mobile Health, concerning healthcare interventions delivered via smartphones, so-called Mobile Therapies. I focus on stress relief, emotional awareness and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) interventions. Mobile Therapies, in real life situations can reinforce strategies and deliver therapies recommended to patients during face-to-face consultations in clinics. I collaborate with psychologists and psychotherapists on user studies, exploring advanced computer technologies for effective delivery of Mobile Therapies: cloud computing for scalability, context-awareness for understanding the user environment and emotion sensing for inferring the user's emotional states from smartphone and physiological sensor data. Software
engineering, particularly software design for ease of adaptation and
reuse, re-engineering and maintenance (evolution) are my main areas of
research. Software reuse is based on the premise that much similarity
exists in software systems. This is particularly true for systems in a
given application domain. Software Product Line (SPL) approach is based
on reuse of core assets – architecture, code components, documentation
and other software artifacts – during software development and
evolution. Reuse attempts to identify and automate routine, repetitive
development tasks. While the progress towards practical solutions is
slow, reuse remains the most promising approach in the horizon to
improving software quality and productivity. I investigate
variability techniques that can enhance
reusability of conventional software components. To this end, we
developed XVCL
(XML-based Variant Configuration
Language) that can uniformly manage variability in all kinds of
software assets - code, architecture, documentation written in WORD (tool demo
and paper),
UML models, or test cases. In Software Product Line (SPL) approach to reuse,
XVCL streamlines and automates customization of reusable components, improving
productivity gains due to reuse. Model-Driven Development and generators are
mostly applied in initial development. I investigate new forms of MDD and
flexible generators
flexible generators
that can be also useful in SPL reuse and software evolution.
Semi-automated detection of similar software structures
(so-called software clones) has many interesting applications in software
understanding, evolution and reuse. Current research on clones focused on
similar code fragments. We proposed the concept of structural clones that
encompass recurring similar program structures of any kind and granularity.
Structural clones are particularly useful in re-engineering of legacy code for
reuse into SPL. We developed a structural clone detection technique and research
fundamental properties of structural clones. Monograph describing my research: Jarzabek, S. Effective Software Maintenance and Evolution: Reused-based Approach, Auerbach, CRC Press Taylor and Francis, May 2007. Order Here I teach graduate course in areas of my research and CS301/CS3202 Software Engineering Project course. ConsultingSoftware expert witness
We have been working with industry partners, namely ST Electronics
(Info-Software Systems) Pte Ltd, Paul Basset (Cutter Consortium), and Fudan
Wingsoft Ltd. Collaboration with ST Electronics led to the
first application of XVCL in industry setting. Paul Bassett is an inventor of frame concepts, and former Research Director of Netron Inc., a
company that developed Frame Technology™, a predecessor of XVCL. We have 10 year
history of fruitful collaboration with ST Electronics and Paul Bassett,
documented in published papers. Fudan Wingsoft Ltd is a university-affiliated
software company China, a developer of financial software for universities. Our
collaboration centers on Fudan Wingsoft's financial software SPL. We study conventional variability management
techniques Wingsoft uses to manage variability in core assets, and apply XVCL to
achieve similar goals, evaluating the benefits and trade-offs. |

Although his hometown of Dubuque is possibly the least homogenous city in America, Rabe in his plays delves deeply into basic human motivations that cut across universal lines. In addition to his Vietnam "trilogy", he wrote "In the Boom Boom Room" (1973-74), which centered on a go-go dancer, and "Hurlyburly" (1984), about lost chances in Hollywood and the bloated notion of creativity. He made his stage directorial debut with his own play "Those the River Keeps" in 1994.
Rabe's screen work has been sporadic, but has often yielded critically-praised material. He served as executive producer and scripter on "I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can" (1982), about a show business executive coping with her addiction to pills, which starred his wife Jill Clayburgh. He covered familiar ground with "Casualties of War" (1989), about a US patrol in Vietnam and its brutal treatment of a local girl. After an absence of many years, Rabe received screen credit alongside Robert Towne and David Rayfiel on Sydney Pollack's film version of the John Grisham novel "The Firm" (1993). In 1998, after many years of false starts, his script for "Hurlyburly" made it before the cameras with a cast led by Sean Penn, Kevin Spacey and Meg Ryan and the following year saw the filming of "In the Boom Boom Room", with Patricia Arquette in the role of the stripper.

Notes |
"A playwright is treated like the madwoman from the attic that is let down to deliver the play and goes back upstairs and who they'd just as soon would never bother them again." --David Rabe in New York Newsday, January 30, 1994. |
"If my age played into my writing, it wasn't consciously. But then, I did write the play ["The Quality of Mercy"] about seven or eight years ago. I'm feeling the weight of age a lot more now, frankly, than I was then. My plays are always ahead of me. I often encounter my themes on a personal level after the play is written, not before. I'll write a play, and then later I'll realize, 'Oh, now I'm going through that same experience.' Maybe I don't want to have that experience, but that's the way it happens." --David Rabe to Los Angeles Times, July 23, 2000. |

LCS Preview Podcast
I wasn't smart enough to remember to alert everyone last night before it happened, so I'm trying to make up for that by letting you know now: Bill & The Common Man from Platoon Advantage and I did an LCS preview podcast. And it's even better this time because we were joined by two LCS experts: Dan McQuade, who you probably remember from his terrific guest post here back in August and who is a Phillies fan lucky enough to have tickets to the Roy Halladay-Tim Lincecum faceoff on Saturday; and Jason Rosenberg, who I hope you know from the excellent Yankees blog It's About the Money, Stupid.
The five of us, in part, offered our thoughts on what we learned from the LDS's, what we should hope to see in the LCS, and who we might be seeing in the World Series. It was a fun time and, at least on our part, flew by super-quick. It should be a good listen.
One thought: in the podcast, I predicted the Yankees would beat the Rangers in (I think) six games. This has been weighing on me. I hate picking the Yankees for anything, even when it seems pretty obvious that they're the better team. I can't really take back the pick, so I'll just say that I will take absolutely no joy in the Yankees live up to my prediction. I will be hoping beyond hope that they lose and lose good, and that the Rangers make it to the Fall Classic.

Bachelor's Degree
A student must complete 60 semester hours of upper-division coursework to earn a Bachelors of Arts in Accountancy.
It is important for accountancy students to meet with their academic adviser and set up a degree plan to make sure that they have met their lower-division General Education and Foundation Entrance requirements.
Students are also required to access the Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS) throughout their college career to verify that degree requirements are being met.
Major Requirements
College Core Courses: 21 hours required, and
Accountancy Core Courses: 21 hours required.
Students are encouraged to take a combination of accountancy core courses, college core, electives, and UIS requirements each semester. ACC 321 Intermediate Accounting I is the first accountancy course that junior-level undergraduate students should take, and the department recommends that this course be taken concurrently with ACC 335 Accounting Information Systems.
College Core (21 Hours)
The College Core is required of all undergraduate students in the College of Business and Management. All the college core courses are prerequisites for MGT 488, and they must be completed prior to the semester in which the student enrolls in MGT 488.
- ACC 335 Accounting Information Systems
4 Hrs. Prerequisites: ACC 211 and ACC 212, or equivalent, and familiarity with spreadsheet and/or database application software. - BUS 302 Principles of Financial Management
3 Hrs. (Prerequisites-Accounting, Economics, Statistics, & Calculus Foundation Courses) - BUS 312 Principles of Marketing
3 Hrs. (Prerequisites-Accounting & Economics Foundation Courses) - BUS 322 Principles of Operations Management
3 Hrs. (Prerequisites-Statistics & Calculus Foundation Courses) - BUS 331 Business and Society
3 Hrs. (Prerequisite: ECO 201 and ECO 202 or ECO 315, or equivalent) - MGT 310 Managing Organizational Behavior
3 Hrs. (No prerequisites) - MGT 488 Strategic Management and Leadership
3 Hrs. (Prerequisite: All College core courses).
Accountancy Core (21 Hours)
The Accountancy Core is designed to prepare students for challenging careers and positions of leadership in both the private and public sectors.
Minimum GPA: Accountancy majors are required to earn a grade of C (2.00) or better in all accountancy core courses.
The accountancy core consists of the following six courses:
- ACC 321 Intermediate Financial Accounting I
3 Hrs. Prerequisites: ACC 211 and 212, or equivalent, and familiarity with spreadsheet application software. - ACC 322 Intermediate Financial Accounting II
3 Hrs. Prerequisite: ACC 321. - ACC 324 Intermediate Financial Accounting III
3 Hrs. Prerequisite: ACC 322. - ACC 433 Intermediate Managerial Accounting
3 Hrs. Prerequisite: ACC 211 and ACC 212, or equivalent. - ACC 443 Federal Income Taxation
3 Hrs. Prerequisite: ACC 211 and ACC 212, or equivalent. - ACC 464 Auditing Concepts and Responsibilities
3 Hrs. Prerequisite: ACC 321, or instructor approval. - ACC Elective
3 Hrs.
General Electives (7-8 Hours)
Electives allow students to supplement the accountancy core curriculum and to specialize in a field of study that is appropriate to their career goals. These electives may constitute a formal minor or area of study specifically designed to meet the student's needs.
To ensure that baccalaureate-level students have a broad context in which their accountancy education is set and to fulfill the AACSB requirement, at least 60 of the total 120 hours required for a bachelors degree should be in the area of general education and liberal studies.
Students should consult with their academic advisers to determine their elective hours. Students using electives to complete a minor must also have the approval of their minor adviser.
Engaged Citizenship Common Experience – ECCE Requirements — (10 Hours) under Fall 2012 Catalog
Beginning with the Fall 2012 catalog, all undergraduate students are required to take a minimum of 10 hours in the Engaged Citizenship Common Experience (ECCE), a set of courses tied to UIS' heritage, mission, vision, and values. These courses provide a distinctive element to the baccalaureate education at UIS, and encourage a commitment to making a difference in the world. Most of the course work in this category is interdisciplinary and is designed to help students recognize the value of multiple perspectives.
All undergraduates at UIS will be required to take the following ECCE course work: 1 hour of Speaker Series and two of the following three ECCE categories for at least 9 credit hours: US Communities, Global Awareness, and Engagement Experience.
Some degree programs may require students to take particular ECCE courses. Students should consult with advisors in the major for further guidance. The Engaged Citizenship Common Experience (ECCE) includes 200-, 300-, and 400-level courses and the following categories:
U.S. Communities (1 course, 3 hours)
Courses in this category aim to broaden students' knowledge about substantial, distinctive, and complex aspects of the history, society, politics, and culture of United States communities.
Global Awareness (1 course, 3 hours)
Courses in this category help students to understand and function in an increasingly interdependent and globalizing environment and to develop an appreciation of other cultural perspectives. They foster awareness of other cultures, polities, or natural environments, past or present.
Engagement Experience (3 hours)
This category offers students structured opportunities to integrate knowledge, practice, and reflection in the context of an engaged citizenship experience. Students may fulfill this part of the ECCE curriculum through an Experiential and Service-Learning internship, Credit for Prior Learning, a service-learning course, a research project, a group project course, or study abroad, among others. Students who desire or are required to complete a 6-hour Experiential and Service-Learning (EXL) internship or project may do so through the Engagement Experience.
ECCE Speakers Series (1 hour)
For one semester, students will be required to participate in a series of campus-sponsored lectures by speakers who exemplify engaged citizenship. Credit will be awarded upon completion of all course requirements. Students must complete one hour of Speakers Series course work, but may take an additional hour in a different semester if desired.
Courses taken to meet the 10 hours of ECCE requirements cannot be used to meet general education course work, but they may count toward requirements, electives, or prerequisites in the major and minor.

Currently viewing the tag: "Location"
As someone who can fall victim to distractions, I've always valued the slightly-out-of-the-center-of-things location of Tufts. Students can focus on student life while on campus. Or they can wander a short distance from campus to surrounding neighborhoods with food, services, and fun. A short distance further off, they're in the broader academic community of Cambridge. Or, with little fuss, they can take advantage of all that Boston has to offer. For starters, from Fletcher, it's about a 15-minute walk to the subway (which we all call "the T"). Bus lines broaden the territory covered by mass transit (and make it easy for students to find housing with easy access to campus). Here's what our options look like:
Buses 80, 94, and 96 actually come onto the campus, and the 87, 88 have stops five minutes from Fletcher. (Curtis Street and Packard Avenue bracket Fletcher on the Tufts campus. You can find the full map here.) So transportation links are pretty easy.
But what if all these multicolored noodles of bus and subway lines make it seem that traveling to Boston is a major expedition? Well, if you have a little time, you can always choose to walk or bike. Here's one suggested route, for a day when you want to ice skate at the Boston Common (or, in summer, join the crowd of children splashing in the spray pool):
Sure, it's five miles, but five miles seems like a nice balance — a quiet campus that's only a long walk from everything.

'Anchorman' Teaser Here for Real, and Now It's Different
The Anchorman 2 teaser is here for real, and now, thanks to movie magic (using different takes of Steve Carell acting defective), it's totally different than the bootlegged theatrical version we saw last week. Submachine guns and boobies are promised! Also, it's genuinely pleasing to see these guys together again, isn't it?
And here's the previous trailer in better quality:

Pope Benedict XVI at the Helm: The Prophetic Vision of St Don Bosco
Given the current state of our National moral decline we need to view the entire American continent as missionary territory, ripe for this New Evangelization.
The heroic leadership of this Pope may well represent one more fulfillment of the prophetic vision of the Saint whose Feast we celebrate on this day.This vision could well describe what is occurring in our own day. We need to take our place on the Bark of Peter and follow the Pope as he follows the Lord. Pope Benedict XVI is steering the Ship through troubled waters, charting a path through those sure pillars of protection and heavenly aid. St. Don Bosco, pray for us.
CHESAPEAKE,VA. (Catholic online) - On January 31 in the Roman Calendar we celebrate the Feast of St John Bosco (also called Don Bosco). He lived in the 19th century and poured out his life serving the Church of Italy. Don Bosco was the founder of the Salesian Society and walked in a wonderful and intimate communion with the Lord. He also lived during a difficult time for both the world and the Church.
Among the many accounts of his extraordinary life, we read of a vision he shared on May 30, 1862. It comes to my mind frequently these days. The vision revealed the great threats facing the Churchas she continues the redemptive mission of her Lord. It also reveals the path which will lead her to victory over her enemies. The vision has been the source of much inspiration, insight, speculation and reflection.
Images of the vision have been painted by many of the faithful. The paintings themselves have a prophetic effect on the observer. The saint saw the Church as a great Ship of Peter surrounded by a flotilla of other vessels. They were engaged in intense warfare. At the helm of the Church was the Pope who at one point in a fierce battle fell mortally wounded. The enemies of the Church closed in sensing this was their moment.
In the vision two columns then emerged from the great ocean. On one was a golden Monstrance with the Holy Eucharist exposed within it. The column was inscribed with the words "Salvation of Believers". The other column held an Image of Mary, the Mother of God, inscribed with the words "The Help of Christians". Here are words which purportedly reflect those actually spoken by the Saint in describing this vision:
"The entire enemy fleet closes in to intercept and sink the flagship at all costs. They bombard it with everything they have: books and pamphlets, incendiary bombs, firearms, cannons. The battle rages ever more furious. Beaked prows ram the flagship again and again, but to no avail, as, unscathed and undaunted, it keeps on its course. At times a formidable ram splinters a gaping hole into its hull, but, immediately, a breeze from the two columns instantly seals the gash.
"Meanwhile, enemy cannons blow up, firearms and beaks fall to pieces, ships crack up and sink to the bottom. In blind fury the enemy takes to hand-to-hand combat, cursing and blaspheming. Suddenly the Pope falls, seriously wounded. He is instantly helped up but, struck down a second time, dies. A shout of victory rises from the enemy and wild rejoicing sweeps their ships. But no sooner is the Pope dead than another takes his place. The captains of the auxiliary ships elected him so quickly that the news of the Pope's death coincides with that of his successor's election. The enemy's self-assurance wanes.
"Breaking through all resistance, the new Pope steers his ship safely between the two columns and moors it to the two columns; first to the one surmounted by the Host, and then to the other, topped by the statue of the Virgin. At this point something unexpected happens. The enemy ships panic and disperse, colliding with and scuttling each other. Some auxiliary ships which had gallantly fought alongside their flagship are the first to tie up at the two columns."
This vision could well describe what is occurring in our own day. We have been blessed with holy successors of Peter who are steering Christ's Church through those two columns in very troubled waters. One, Blessed John Paul II, was even shot - but saved through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin on a Marian Feast day. Both engaged courageously in doing battle with those forces which oppose the Church. Both stood at the helm while steering her safely through the twin poles which certainly stand for orthodoxy (right teaching) and orthopraxy (right practice).
Blessed John Paul II is now in the communion of Saints in the Church triumphant, interceding for the whole Church. His friend and successor, Pope Benedict XVI has continued the mission of providing heroic leadership to the Church. I am convinced he is leading the Church through these turbulent waters into a new missionary age. Throughout the Pontificate of Blessed John Paul II he called for a "New Evangelization." His friend and successor, Pope Benedict XVI, has made this a central pillar of his pontificate.
In a Motu Propio directive (which means issued on his own authority) Pope Benedict established a new dicastery (Vatican Office). It underscored the seriousness with which he views this mission of the New Evangelization. It is specifically tasked with evangelizing countries where the Gospel was announced centuries ago, but where its presence in peoples' daily life seems to be all but lost.
Cultures formerly infused with a Christian culture are now regularly called post-Christian - and understandably so. There is little doubt that Europe, the United States, Canada and Latin America are all "post Christian." Yes, there are many good and genuine Christians living within these Nations. However, the scourge of legal abortion, the attacks on true marriage and the family and society founded upon it, and the intolerance against people of faith, speaks clearly of the decline of Christian influence in these Nations. I prefer to refer to them as "Pre-Christian."
They are now our mission field. When Blessed John Paul visited the Americas he wrote a letter "To the Church in America" in which we find these words:
"The new Evangelization calls for a clearly conceived, serious, and well organized effort to evangelize culture. The Son of God, by taking upon Himself our human nature, became incarnate within a particular people, even though His redemptive death brought redemption to all people, of every culture, race and condition. The gift of His Spirit and His love are meant for each and every people and culture, in order to bring them all into unity after the perfect unity existing in the Triune God." (# 70)
The New Evangelization requires an authentic renewal of the Church so that she can undertake such a new missionary outreach to the world. These two aspects of the one call are intricately connected. Only a Church fully alive in the Lord and filled with His Spirit can carry out such an evangelical mission. The Church is Christ's plan for the entire world. The early Fathers called her the "world reconciled." There is no "plan B" through which He will save this world. She is a universal sign, sacrament and seed of the kingdom of God. The early Christians would have never understood the notion in some contemporary Christian circles that anyone could follow Jesus and not "need" the Church.
These wonderful words from Par # 845 of the Catholic Catechism, citing words from the early fathers of the Church,should anchor us in hope, "To reunite all his children, scattered and led astray by sin, the Father willed to call the whole of humanity together into his Son's Church. The Church is the place where humanity must rediscover its unity and salvation. The Church is "the world reconciled." She is that bark which "in the full sail of the Lord's cross, by the breath of the Holy Spirit, navigates safely in this world." According to another image dear to the Church Fathers, she is prefigured by Noah's ark, which alone saves from the flood."
Contemporary Western culture has lost its way, throwing off almost every remnant of Christian influence. It has embraced a new paganism. What Pope Benedict calls the "Dictatorship of Relativism" is the bad fruit of a rejection of a belief in the very existence of truth. In effect, the West has embraced a practical atheism. It is Eden's error written large in an age which has rejected God and His plan.
Given the current state of our National moral decline we need to view the entire American continent as missionary territory, ripe for this New Evangelization. We also need to view the once Christian Nations of the European continent as mission territory. Most importantly, we need to view ourselves as missionaries in a new missionary age.
Pope Benedict XVI turned 84 years old on April 16, 2011. Some early observers indicated his age would make him some sort of caretaker Pope. His pace has demonstrated the observers were wrong. He has proven to be an indefatigable and tireless missionary of a Pope.
He has continued the pastoral visits of his predecessor with amazingly fruitful travels around the world. The youth of the world still flock to World Youth days and his genuine love for them - and they for him - is evident. He has pastorally and decisively dealt with serious matters concerning the need for a purification of the Church.
He is exactly what he told us when he began his service, a "simple, humble worker in the vineyard of the Lord" Notice how little fanfare accompanied his birthday as well as this six year anniversary of his election. Clearly, to this successor of Peter, it is not about him, but about the Lord whom he serves. His diminutive size and humble manner reveal the holy heart of this man totally given over to the Lord.
He has written three encyclicals, three apostolic exhortations and two books about Jesus of Nazareth. He is a scholar of the highest order, yet able to communicate with simplicity and beauty because he is a man of deep prayer. He has given continual teaching to the faithful - including some of the finest hagiography in centuries - during his Wednesday Catechesis.
He made Church history, when Motu Propio, he released of the Apostolic Constitution on Groups of Anglicans which has begun the healing of the divided Western Church. Two Ordinariates have already been formed and more will follow. The fruits of these Ordinariates will be recounted by future historians as among the most important events in the Third Millennium of the Church.
He has earned the great respect of Patriarchs and leaders of the Orthodox Church and is making progress toward some form of communion between Eastern and Western Christianity which could make the Third Millennium a millennium of communion.
He has championed the re-christianizing of Europe and passionately promoted the New Evangelization of the Church - even establishing a new Pontifical Council on the New Evangelization. He has been a champion of the New Ecclesial movements and helped to ensure that they are rooted in the heart of the Church and received as gift for the missionary work of the Church in this hour.
He has doggedly defended the Christian roots of the West and defended religious freedom as a fundamental human right. He has engaged the Islamic world with great charity and courage on the ground of dialogue in truth. He began the "Courts of the Gentiles" outreach engaging atheists and agnostics. Clearly, this is a missionary Pope.
And, it looks like he is just getting warmed up. We have had six years of Pope Benedict XVI and it appears to this Deacon that he is leading the Catholic Church into a New Missionary Age. The Church is truly blessed to have him at the helm of the Barque of Peter as she sails into the Third Christian Millennium.
The heroic leadership of this Pope may well represent one more fulfillment of the prophetic vision of the Saint whose Feast we celebrate on this day. We need to pray for him, take our place on the Bark of Peter and follow Him as he follows the Lord. He is steering the Ship through troubled waters, charting a path through those sure pillars of protection and heavenly aid. St. Don Bosco, pray for us.

This was a wonderful article that links the Church history with the current times. It is true that Pope Benedict does not announce his anniversaries and is a humble servant to God and all of us. I someone times wish the Catholic Church's activities were more publicly reported so the world could see the positive contributions of our Faith to the world, led by Pope Benedict, and by leading by example we would bring more fallen Catholics back to the Faith. Marc

Just GREAT! to get this out on the great saint's feast day is a real blessing. you are a very useful servant deacon! ty. I've always wanted to be a small part of the evangelization efforts of the Church...why just two weeks ago I sent an email to our diocesan office director. And received no response although I gave my full contact information and thought the email offered something that the director of the evangelization office might want to pursue. NO ANSWER. So, I sent another email last week, indicating my offer was not spam...these emails did not bounce. NO ANSWER. oh, the person might be out on maternity leave, might be really busy - or might be what the Pope calls "professional Catholics", i.e. functionaries, and can't be troubled with cold calls coming in from left field.... So, today, right after this comment on the John Bosco article, I am going to place a call to the Evangelization Office as soon as the clock turns 9:00. but it probably doesn't even open until 10:00 or the diocesan switchboard operator isn't there until oh....9: 17 am... jeepers...is there really any wonder we are in such a fix? but, if all be told, ....I AM THE SOLE CAUSE OF THE LOSS OF FAITH IN AMERICA for which I deserve damnation in a very deep pit in hell....Hallelujah Jesus for saving me....now, if I can just finish the race....

Don Bosco's visionary Host denotes life IN Christ & Mary denotes the way, as intercessor to the life, The Pope represents His Church on earth against which the ships of the Anti or Pseudo Christ & his people battle (Pseudo meaning false, like the liberties projected by the Administration), even though seen to be winning, but in desperation, for short is time, but is not new, for the ships of the adversary are ancient pagan beliefs collected from the dust bins of time as "New Paganism", bound to return back to its destiny in the garbage, as the result of the conflict, which fruit was stated by Christ Jesus 2000 years ago in the Spirit through the words "All authority & power are delivered unto me " & that which is granted in the Spirit is bound to be in the physical & is just a matter of time or called the Appointed time. The conflict between the Church & State, principally against the works & ways of Obama & his democrats is the truth that comes about in the Physical to the greater fulfillment of The Kingdom of GOD on earth upon the destruction of the Adversaries of Life, denoted in the conflict as their ships scuttle & sink to their destiny, in contrast to the ships of the Pope moored steadfast to the Pillar on the Rock, as Prophesied in the words "The gates of hell cannot prevail against The Rock, which is Christ", for GOD is Life & Christ His Will.
