Richard J. Welland, Ph.D., SLP, Associate Professor
MC-D450M, Ext. 4091
MC-D450M, Ext. 4091
Dr. Welland is a registered Speech-Language Pathologist. He completed the M.H.Sc. degree in Speech-Language Pathology at the University of Toronto in 1980. He later obtained his Ph.D. degree in Communicative Disorders and Sciences at The State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo. His doctoral research investigated whether conventionalized gestures (Amer-Ind) might facilitate spoken language comprehension in adults with dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT).
Dr. Welland began teaching full-time at Brock University in 1997

Dr. Welland teaches courses that are integral to the Speech and Language Sciences major, the Certificate in Speech and Language Sciences and the Certificate for Communication Disorders Assistants programs.
During the 2009-2010 academic year, Dr. Welland is teaching LING 2P90 (Anatomy & Physiology of Speech Production) and LING 4P35 (Speech & Swallowing Disorders in Adults).
Dr. Welland's research currently has two distinct foci. The first research focus involves age-related changes to cognitive-linguistic abilities, framed specifically within an environmental/social participation approach to communication. More specifically, Dr. Welland is interested in the following research topics:
- Discourse comprehension and executive function skills of adults with and without a variety of neurologically-based language and cognitive-linguistic disorders (e.g., aphasia, Alzheimer disease, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson disease)
- Comprehension of Amer-Ind Gestural Code and other gestures by adults with aphasia and older adults with Alzheimer disease
- The influence of speech-accompanying gestures on cognitive-linguistic skills among adults with Alzheimer disease and other dementias
- The efficacy of social participation approaches to aphasia rehabilitation
- Speech and gestural accommodations when addressing older adults with perceived cognitive impairment
- First impressions of young and older adults with communication disorders
Dr. Welland's second research focus involves the development of professionalism and professional practice among Speech-Language Pathologists. A current project employs qualitative research methods to investigate the experiences and perceptions of novice Speech-Language Pathologists, as they transition from graduate students to practicing clinicians
Dr. Welland currently serves as a member of the following committees and boards: Department of Applied Linguistics Committee; the Admissions Committees for the Certificate in Speech and Language Sciences and the Certificate for Communication Disorders Assistants; and the Research Ethics Board. From 2004 to 2007, he served as Departmental Chair. Prior to that, he contributed hundreds of hours of service toward development of the current major and certificate programs in Speech and Language Sciences and Hearing Sciences, toward development of the Certificate for Communication Disorders program, and toward student advising. He is also a former member of University Senate, the Research Ethics Board, and other university-wide committees.
Outside of the University, Dr. Welland has among other things served on the Interim Planning Committee for the Niagara Aphasia Centre, and as an ad hoc reviewer for such eminent journals as Brain & Language, The Journals of Gerontology, and the Journal of Speech-Language Pathology. He has also been an invited speaker of Brain Injury Community Re-Entry (Niagara), the Work Group & Research Forum (University of Toronto), the Hamilton and Region Adult Neurogenic Study Group, Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Health Care, and the 1997 annual convention of the New York Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
Some of the links to other sites on the World Wide Web that Dr. Welland finds of interest are categorized and listed here. Eventually, this section will also include course websites.

6b. Unit Budget
6b.1. Describe the proposed budget available to support educator preparation programs. Describe how the proposed unit budget will compare to the budgets of other units with clinical components on campus or similar units at other institutions or agencies
The university provides unit funding through an annual budget process. Each fall, division chairs prepare budget requests with justification for capital, new personnel, and operating budgets. These requests are forwarded to the Provost/VPAA who reviews them with the Vice President for Finance and Administration and the President, and a complete budget is formulated and presented to the Board of Trustees for approval.
The total operating budget allocation for FY11 for the division is approximately $25,000. These resources are delineated by budget line items that are used to fund faculty professional development, attendance at conferences, and professional memberships. Additional line items fund costs associated with delivering instruction, travel associated with supervising field experiences and student teaching, recruiting, accreditation, purchasing noncapital equipment, and maintaining the department office. The FY11 Division budget is comparable to Thomas University operating budgets for other divisions with degree programs that require clinical observation, such as Social Work and the Thomasville-based RN-BSN program. Other line items reflect student course fee revenue to subsidize software costs for preparation for GACE testing and to subsidize student field trips.
The personnel budget for the Division of Education is the second largest supporting an academic division in the university. This includes a year-round faculty appointment for the Division Chair of Education contracted for primarily administrative duties, teaching only one course per semester with three-quarters load for administration of the division and supervision of the division's assessment system; six faculty lines devoted to teaching (one currently vacant); a year-round full-time Coordinator of Field Experiences and Assessment for the Division of Education; a year-round full-time Administrative Assistant to the Division of Education, who supports the work of the division chair and Coordinator of Field Experiences and Assessment; approximately $55,000 spent annually for adjunct personnel in the Division of Education. The university has assigned at least one Graduate Assistant to the Division of Education for up to fifteen hours per week each semester to assist with implementation of the assessment system and other division projects that support teacher candidates' preparation. In addition, student workers are assigned to the Division of Education for fifteen hours per week per person to assist in data entry, filing, and support of faculty. Salaries and wages are competitive with those of other IIB private colleges and universities in Georgia. Clinical compensation for adjunct instructors is higher than regional public or private schools.
Approximately $100,000 is allotted annually to online and print journals, scholarly databases, and current books for the Library's collection.
6b.2. Describe the adequacy of the proposed budget to support all programs for the preparation of educators and plans for increasing the budget as program offerings expand.
The Education Division is allocated adequate resources to support the division's mission. Administrative needs are met through the assigned time of the division chair and Coordinator of Field Experiences and Assessment for the Division of Education. As programs expand, the division chair can negotiate additional teaching release with the Provost/VPAA. The coordinator implements the division's tracking system for placing teacher candidates in Field Experiences as defined in the Georgia Educator Preparation Rules and ensures the regular and systematic dissemination and collection of data collection instruments/data, while also facilitating the systematic process of data compilation, aggregation, and summarization of those data collected to enable the unit faculty and administration to analyze candidate and completer performance in regards to the outlined outcomes, along with preparation program and unit performance. The coordinator is assisted by the university's Director of Institutional Assessment in the production of meaningful reports from the LiveText system and statistical analysis of candidate performance data. This position was recently expanded to a 12-month position specifically to provide time to serve as LiveText Administrator.
The number and expertise of faculty is adequate to effectively address the teacher preparation programs and content specialization areas, along with faculty in the arts and sciences as well who provide content courses. The university's full-time Academic Technology Specialist assists faculty and students in utilizing educational technologies, including LiveText, smartboard technology, Collaborate, and Blackboard v 9.0.
Support staff needs are met by one full-time Administrative Assistant, at least one Graduate Assistant, and Student Assistants.
The university is committed to providing budget support for personnel, capital, and operating costs associated with growth. The FY12 budget proposes a renovation project for adding office space to the education building and capital investment in new education classroom smartboards. The strategic model at Thomas University reinvests dollars generated by enrollment growth directly into program support for those students, in the form of faculty and resources.

A black belt in karate will claim he accidently shot a father while wrestling a gun off him during a fight in Hove, a court heard.
Edmund Nela, 31, is set to tell jurors at Hove Crown Court he accidently shot Xhem Krasniqi in Selbourne Road, Hove, on May 18 2013, in an act of self-defence fearing that he was going to be "killed or kidnapped".
Phillip Bennet QC, opening the prosecution case, said Nela, of no fixed address, made the claims in a defence statement having been extradited from Italy on July 9, 2013.
He said Nela, an international karate competitor, claimed he was walking home from picking up his wife Victoria Gale from a restaurant in Hove on the night of the shooting when a BMW containing Mr Krasniqi, Mr Krasniqi's brother Ismail Zeneli and nephew Kelmed Murataj, pulled up.
He said a gun was wielded at him and he wrestled it from them and "accidently discharged two shots".
Nela said he did not know if these proved the fatal shots which killed Mr Krasniqi. But Mr Bennett said the prosecution's case differed.
He said while it was accepted the "deceased groups had baseball bats and wood," it was not agreed they had a firearm.
He said the only person witnesses saw with a gun was Nela.
Nela denies murdering Mr Krasniqi, two counts of attempted murder against Ismail Zeneli and Kelmed Muratij, possessing a 9mm self-loading pistol and possessions of firearms with intent to cause fear or danger of life.

Close to four dozen female high school students from the metro-east gathered at Belleville East Saturday for a Youth to Youth workshop, sponsored by the Center for Racial Harmony in Belleville.
The teens from Belleville East and West, Governor French Academy in Belleville, Althoff Catholic High School in Belleville and O'Fallon Township High School spent the day talking about challenging topics including self-worth/self-esteem, racism and gender bias, and bullying and social media.
"I was so impressed with the students. They really got a lot out of it," said Paula Jones with Racial Harmony. "There were a lot of very sensitive topics they had to discuss, and they were all very mature about it."
Jones provided each of the participating schools a copy of the book, "Why Am I Afraid to Tell You Who I am?" by John Powell. Jones explained the theme of the book is, "If I tell you who I am, and you don't like who I am, it is all that I have."
"It's a small book that's packed full of wonderful things for kids to think about," she said.
The Center for Racial Harmony will host a Youth to Youth workshop for male high school students in January. Jones said the exact date is still being finalized. The third and final Youth to Youth program will be held in May, and both male and female students will be invited to attend.
For more information about the Youth to Youth program, visit its Facebook page at Center for Racial Harmony Presents: Youth to Youth 2013.
"We want the youth to continue to communicate and keep the dialogue going," Jones said. "It allows kids to talk to each other about these things that concern them."
The Living Independent Now Center Inc. recently honored local educators with awards. LINC is a disability service agency in St. Clair County.
Belleville School District 118 Superintendent Matt Klosterman was recognized as administrator of the year in St. Clair County. "I was honored to be recognized by an organization like LINC," Klosterman said.
Carol Root, director of Perandoe Special Education District in Red Bud, was the Administrator of the Year for Monroe and Randolph counties.
Tony Thompson won Teacher of the Year award. Thompson is a department chair/individualized education teacher for Belleville School District 201. Jeff Price, a special education teacher at Douglas Elementary School in Belleville, was honored as an Agent of Change.
LINC Youth and Family Service Supervisor Vicky Few said the awards were presented during LINC's annual dinner Sept. 19 at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows in Belleville. The winners were all selected by Few based on the work they do for the community.
More than 3,600 children from 28 schools in three different states will get to visit the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield as the result of generous contributions by the Winnick Family Foundation.
The Winnick Family Foundation offered field trip grants through the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation to grades fourth through 12 in public and private schools. To qualify, the schools must have a low-income enrollment of greater than 30 percent.
The following metro-east schools were awarded the grants: Central Junior High School in Belleville; Breese Elementary School; and Annette Officer Elementary School, Avant Elementary School, Dunbar Elementary School, East St. Louis Senior High School, Gordon Bush Elementary School, Katie Wright Elementary School, Mason/Clark and Lincoln middle schools and Tomorrow's Builders Charter School, all in East St. Louis.
The grants provide funding to visit the Presidential Museum at no or reduced cost by deferring the cost of transportation, lunch or educational materials. Groups receiving a grant do not pay a museum admission fee.
The Bob Emig Foundation is once again partnering with Father McGivney Catholic High School to host its fourth annual Halloween 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, Oct. 26 to benefit the athletics program at Father McGivney. This fun-filled family event will be held at Father McGivney Catholic High School on the campus of St. John Neumann Catholic School in Maryville. Awards will be given out to the top three male and female runners and the top three places in eight-age categories. Food, drinks, music and a raffle will follow the run. The deadline for early registration is Friday. For registration and sponsorship information, visit http://www.McGivneyGriffins.com or contact David Michael at 855- 9010 or email@example.com.
Smithton School District 130 school board will swear in its newest member Brian Lester at its regular board meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 15.

Training camp is less than a week old, but the Arizona Cardinals are already dealing with what could be a serious injury to a player expected to be a major contributor on the defensive side of the ball this season. According to a report, safety Adrian Wilson is headed for an MRI on his elbow after leaving practice with an injury on Saturday. Wilson played through pain in 2010, the product of a torn abductor, but if the Cardinals fears are confirmed by an MRI, he may not be playing at all this season.
The best and worst case scenarios were laid out by Kent Somers, of the Arizona Republic.
Cardinals won't know about Wilsons injury until tonight, maybe Sunday. Fear prob is torn muscle, hope is that he can play soon
A torn muscle could keep Wilson out for the majority of the season, if not the whole year, while a simple strain may allow him to return sooner. Somers also noted that the Cardinals signed safety Matt Ware on Saturday, perhaps as a backup plan if Wilson is out for an extended period of time.
For more on Wilson's injury and the Cardinals, head over to SB Nation Arizona and Revenge of the Birds.

THE SAM MORSHEAD COLUMN: Winter Olympics, Uefa's daft decisions and the price of watching STFC
5:30am Saturday 22nd February 2014 in Sport
I MIGHT not know a goofy from a cant but the past fortnight of winter sport has had me glued to the TV.
I've been skiing once in my life, last March, and inside of five days it was quickly discovered that I have neither the natural balance nor the in-built recklessness to make a trip to the Alps a worthwhile venture.
Quite frankly, after twisting my ankle on the second day despite wearing supposedly 'ankle-twist-proof' boots, I didn't have the inclination to pursue the sport any longer either.
But that hasn't stopped me from watching in awe as some of the most outrageous nutters in the world have helter-skeltered down ice runs at 80 miles an hour, leapt 100 metres onto snow wearing nothing but a less-than-fetching lycra bodysuit and taken on an entire freestyle skiing course backwards.
Furthermore, the Winter Olympics have had the added benefit of not being wholly media censored by super-paranoid spin doctors whose clients generally think they're several times more important than they actually are.
Out in Sochi, in a country which has been condemned for its human rights infringements, we've actually been able to witness a bit of humanity in the Games' participants.
They're not marshalled like misbehaving schoolchildren on a year 10 French trip, their eyes shielded from members of a media corps universally suspected of malpractice or malicious intent by sporting governing bodies who just refuse to learn about the industry.
Instead they've been allowed to speak openly, honestly and widely about their respective sports - an essential part of the coverage of the unfamiliar half-pipe, Super G and luge disciplines, amongst others.
The likes of Jenny Jones, Elise Christie, James "Woodsy" Woods, Chemmy Alcott, Aimee Fuller, Shelley Rudman and Lizzie Yarnold have educated, promoted and inspired through their willingness to chat with journalists like you would your granny at a family Christmas meal.
Informal, insightful, intelligent conversation, unmediated by scaredy-cat press officers who'll jump 12 feet in the air at the first mention of anything that doesn't read straight off a check-list of tired cliches and unconvincing optimism.
Football should take note.
The programming offered by the BBC, too, though not to everyone's taste, has been entertaining and at times utterly compelling.
It hasn't boasted the same smooth-edged, shiny-graphicked sparkle as Sky Sports' coverage of the Premier League - at times it's bordered on being tacky and amateurish - but that is far from a criticism.
The expert co-commentators employed by the Beeb have used a wealth of knowledge to take the weight off the likes of Steve Cram and Paul Dickenson. Tim Warwood, Graham Bell, Jackie Lockhart et al should be applauded for their contributions. Unrefined, yes, but certainly not unprofessional. And totally engaging, even for a snow-phobe like me.
I'M going to talk about the cost of a fan going to watch a football match now, so for all of you who enjoy sparking off at journalists who have the cheek to comment about paying for a seat it's probably best you click here and read about the bowls.
This week Swindon Town released their season ticket prices for 2014/15 and, contrary to some opinions I've seen flying around in cyberspace, I believe that they are entirely acceptable.
A typical County Ground season ticket will cost around £25 more next term, spread over 10 months interest-free.
Given the ever-rising cost of food, fuel and other more essential commodities, it's a relevant price hike and hardly on a level with energy companies or satellite TV broadcasters, for instance.
A year's pass to Town games has fluctuated between £300 and £400 for a good decade, maybe longer. It equates to roughly £17 a game over 23 matches and personally, given the club's peers and the prices they charge, I think that seems reasonable enough.
Yes, I know I don't pay to get into the ground myself - I'm sure you would feel a little aggrieved to be charged to go to work - but for many seasons in years gone by I did.
And that is why I continue to watch open-mouthed as the matchday prices around League One continue to rise.
Next season it will cost your average fan £27 to sit in the Arkell's Stand for a League One 'gold match'. That's 33p a minute - slightly more expensive than the equivalent length call to Myanmar but cheaper than 60 seconds on the blower with the girls at Babestation.
It's ludicrous, given this is the third tier of football in this country.
Pop to the West End and you'd expect to fork out at least £30 or £40 to see a decent show at an established venue. You wouldn't anticipate paying the same amount at the local AmDram in Covent Garden.
Perhaps the fact that the club's incurred costs are also rising has to be taken into account, as does its attempt to become self-sustainable.
But fans still need to be taken into greater consideration.
This isn't a dig at Swindon Town in isolation, it's more a general observation of the spiralling costs for fans who don't want to or can't attend matches week in week out. Another example of the sport losing touch with its roots.
THIS week UEFA refused to allow LFC TV to screen Liverpool's Youth Cup clash with Watford live because it clashed with a Champions League schedule.
If you weren't aware of the governing body's gross ego defect, that sentence sums up succinctly all that is wrong about the European game's administrators.
For one reason or another, UEFA prefers to take the 1984 approach to sports management and considers it important to dictate which competitions can be televised on any given evening when its own events are running.
It's the worst kind of depravity - egocentric, utterly illogicial and totally detrimental to the game they are supposed to be trying to protect and promote. Like a drunk Cruella De Vil, UEFA is tripping over its own feet as it dances along on its merry little power trip.
Honestly, unless you are a died-in-the-wool Liverpool fan, with a subscription to LFC TV, it seems highly implausible that you'd be opting out of Arsenal versus Bayern Munich in favour of that particular game.
That's no disrespect to either the Reds or Watford, of course, it's simple common sense.
Yet UEFA - the same organisation who saw it fit to dismember the European Championships and spread them across the continent, allowed the European Cup final to kick off at 5.30pm on a Saturday evening and employed two extra officials at either goalline when cardboard cut-outs would have sufficed - see the fixture as a threat to their viewing figures.
Perhaps they would suggest that the number one competition in domestic football should have a captive audience. Nonsense. That's not promoting football, that's actively doing the exact opposite.
Instead of preserving the qualities of the game, they are crushing the next generation of footballers who deserve the limelight - even if it is the equivalent of playing the Dog & Duck in Bayswater while the Rolling Stones give a free gig in Hyde Park.
Perhaps they needed to drive up audience numbers to increase revenue for their sponsors and advertisers. The wealthy few are the engine room of the sport now, remember.
Forget prawn sandwiches, this is lobster caviar stuff.
UEFA, like much of the upper rung of the football ladder, is quickly losing touch with consumers as it ingratiates itself with greedy conglomerates. It's a hideous combination. But it's here to stay.

For me, the season ticket has always represented value for money and as such I have been a season ticket holder for over 20 years. Match day prices, whilst they don't affect me directly, have been too high, in my opinion, for quite some time and can only deter the casual punter rather than attract the 'walk ins'.
I know overheads are going up and perhaps this is a way to encourage more season ticket holders, but I think this needs to be reviewed as £27 for some games is extortionate for our level of football.

swindonBill says...
the price rise of a season ticket of £25 per season is just over £1.09p per game is not overly expensive. For a company to know their income for a year
ahead is better for the club than hoping they get 7000 plus crowd on the day.

Then, through the late 60's, 70s & 80s, followed them all over the country. Now I am semi-retired, living in Leicester & rely on public transport. So, a lot on this site regard me as an armchair supporter, which of course I am. The cost for me to get to Swindon & back on the train from here far outweighs the gate money. It isn't an easy journey, especially for someone recovering from a broken hip. I like to have a couple of beers before a game & something to eat, buy a programme & have cup of tea at half time, not unreasonable IMO.
Whilst I couldn't care less about the Winter Olympics and have long since failed to be surprised by ridiculous rulings made up by footballs governing bodies, I am agreement with Sam on ticket prices.

But the £27 will deter the occasional visitor - Those that don't live local enough to go to all games & buy a season ticket, also away fans who have to pay the higher price.

Football is all about habit, you have to get people into the 'groove' of coming along every other Saturday. Once they get started, like most on this site, you become a regular. If circumstances change (like Gollum above, children, participation in sport etc) you might go away for a while, but most will come back at some stage whjen circumstances change again.
I would much rather we looked at the the 'volume' approach and get more people through the gate as then you have more chance of retaining customers.
I have a season ticket and regard it as good value, but I would have second thoughts if I was being asked to pay anything over £20 for an individual game, £27 would be a complete no no.
Not everyone's circumstances suits a season ticket, but if they were made available at say £250, even those that would go to half the number of home games would buy one as it would represent a saving.
It would be interesting to know how the Huddersfield experiment of £150 season tickets from a few seasons ago worked. Do they stiill do it?

I don't know what a paper boy earns now in Chippenham, but I bet it would be more difficult.
Over the last 50 years, I have paid in, but only because of reasonable prices at the start. So, if the club wants to encourage more support, it has to think about how a 16 year old, living in somewhere like Chippenham can afford it, because these people are fans of the future.

That was v Leeds & we drew 2-2, but I was hooked. as I remember, it was 1s9d to get in, 6d for a programme & 6d for a cup of tea. My pocket money then, at the age of 14 was 3s6d a week. I lived in Chipp, so had to use the train. My parents wouldn't fund it, so I got a paper round to pay for it all. Of course, when I reached 16, the gate money & the train fare doubled, but I managed to get to most home games & a few away. But I had to do it on my own. I don't know what a paper boy earns now in Chippenham, but I bet it would be more difficult. Over the last 50 years, I have paid in, but only because of reasonable prices at the start. So, if the club wants to encourage more support, it has to think about how a 16 year old, living in somewhere like Chippenham can afford it, because these people are fans of the future.
My teenage years we came with the school as mates of mine were in the penalty shoot out competition.
The late 70's and early 80's it was 4 pints at the Kemble Tavern catch train to Swindon hide scarves get a bacardi and pep in the station bar lt ders, (remember when pubs closed?) over the road to the chippy for a chees and onion fryit& chips then into game which was £1.80.
Joined the forces moved away but in 2007 wife suggested I get a season ticket as a 25th wedding anniversary present....well I couldnt say no could I? (she thinks you HAVE to renew it every season )
So as a teenager I was earning £27 a week and £1.80 is 6 percent so now a ticket is going to be £27 I need to earn £450 a week as a teenager???
I think Bradford on their centenary did season tickets for £100. Town did have one of the cheapest season tickets in the country but still didnt seem to get many extra bums on seats.
The problem is people only have so much money to spend so if the ticket price goes up you do without a programme another price increase you go without your tea. The only winner is the tax man! Look at your hard earned pound. He takes 20% income tax so thats 20p, you buy 50p of petrol 60% of that is tax so that another 30p. With your remaining 30p you buy some food of which he takes another 6p in VAT, so out of your hard earned pound he has taken 56p!

If you can walk to the ground from your house, then you can maybe accept the increase, but would probably take the option of a season ticket. Guys living 20 or more miles away, with not a lot of money don't have that luxury.

Tuesday, November 12, 2013
For the third consecutive year South Carolina businesses will only pay the minimum 0 .6 percent per employee for federal unemployment taxes (FUTA) because the Palmetto State once again successfully obtained the maximum 5.4 percent credit for 2013 FUTA.
The South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce (DEW) announced the news last week in a release.
"Thanks to the great work from our state's governor, business community and legislators, South Carolina employers will reap the maximum benefits of FUTA cost savings for the third year in a row," said Cheryl M. Stanton, executive director of SCDEW. "The FUTA credit also reflects the positive overall trend for the state as our unemployment trust fund continues to reach solvency."
Federal law requires a reduction in the FUTA tax credit (i.e. that the FUTA rate for a state's employers will increase) when a state has outstanding federal unemployment loans for two consecutive Januarys and has not made sufficient voluntary payments towards the loan and other solvency improvement measures.
Additionally, the reduction in the FUTA tax credit is higher when a state has outstanding federal unemployment loans for five consecutive Januarys—which is the case in South Carolina. However, borrowing states like South Carolina can formally ask the U.S. Department of Labor for the credit reduction to be avoided if they meet certain criteria.
One of the requirements was that South Carolina make a voluntary payment toward the outstanding loan balance before Nov. 10. The state made a $144 million payment in May and a $75 million payment in September.
To date, South Carolina has repaid more than $520 million of the $977 million borrowed from the federal government. The outstanding balance is approximately $455 million, and the state is scheduled to repay the entire loan amount by the end of 2015.

Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union until the early nineties, but it is now looking west and attaches a great deal of importance to tourism. Ukraine is flat with a pleasantly temperate continental climate and a sub-tropical southern fringe, in the Crimea. The winters are severe but the summers are warm and are therefore the best time to visit Ukraine.
Kiev has a fascinating history and a high level of cultural life. For the past few years, it has also offered an exciting nightlife, with numerous theatres, cafés, restaurants and nightclubs.

As a critic I generally have the privilege of choosing which movies I see each week, so therefore there are many films reputed to be awful that I did not see this year.
These include:
- Jack and Jill
- Transformers: Dark of the Moon
- The Human Centipede: Full Sequence
- The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn
- Your Highness
- Zookeeper
- The Beaver
- Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star
- and Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked.
That said, here are the ten worst films I did see:
This "comedy" from Adam Sandler kicked off with ten minutes of ugly-Jewish-girl jokes, yet somehow went all downhill from there. Deeply mean-spirited and unfunny, Just Go With It is at the vanguard of Sandler's new, more loathsome sensibility: While he usually played an underdog earlier in his career, he now regularly plays a rich, selfish jerk, taking shots at people below him.
It's Inception for idiots. Zack Snyder obliterated any remaining goodwill with this violent, "sexy" fantasia that made no sense and displayed virtually no skill other than the ability to collect gorgeous actresses. Nevermind heroine Baby Doll (Emily Browning) trying to avoid a lobotomy; she looks like she already had one, as did the movie itself.
Jonah Hill's pseudo-remake of Adventures in Babysitting is based on the very tired notion that a combination of child neglect and kids precociously cursing is somehow inherently hilarious. Another notch on the sad descent of once-promising director David Gordon Green, The Sitter is the first comedy in years in which I was rooting for the hero to get arrested.
A super-dark family drama disguised as a light comedy, Jesse Peretz's film assembles a once-in-a-lifetime comic cast and doesn't let anyone be funny. Every character is a moron, a moral monster or both.
In a year of disappointing superhero movies, the first was the worst. Directed by the usually dependable Michel Gondry, the Seth Rogen-starring actioner was a huge swing and miss – mostly because the hero was such a jerk, and not in any sort of interesting way.
6. Clint Eastwood's biopic made just about every wrong choice, the worst of all being the atrociously unconvincing old-age makeup. An unfocused narrative and motivations made up entirely of Pop Psych 101 nonsense didn't help much either.
Pixar's first truly bad film was a jumble of toothless James Bond parody and an inexplicable showcase for Larry the Cable Guy's comedic sensibility. In a way that neither Toy Story sequel did, Cars 2 bears the unmistakable stink of a desperate cash-in, a film made for no reason other than to sell more toys.
8. A potentially entertaining premise is ruined by an out-of-place, super-serious tone, as well as nonentity lead performances by Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford and Olivia Wilde.
9. The big-bad-wolf legend, told through a Stephenie Meyer filter, stealing the look, feel and even the director of the Twilight films. It also piles on laughable special effects and horribly shot action scenes. Despite a tone of arch seriousness, it's a ridiculous story that's told poorly.
10. An unfunny, completely unnecessary remake, plugging the tiresome Russell Brand into the title role and playing alcoholism for laughs that never come. A very convincing argument for the estate tax.
Dishonorable mention:
The Final Reel

Kansas blog Rock Chalk Talk is more than happy to talk Monday night's win over Texas A&M and run.
Throughout much of the game, they looked stagnant offensively, they looked slow on the defensive end and they lacked a bit of hustle that Bill Self coached teams are known for. Once they got past that for the final three minutes of the game – the ones that really count – they were the better team and won. Simple as that, really. It is always encouraging to go on the road and play an ugly game, but find the resolve and fortitude to get the victory. So, bravo for that, fellas. Number one and undefeated in conference play lives to see another day.

Tim: Every new school year is a fresh start. Because of our longtime role in developing a highly skilled workforce, SkillsUSA has always focused on the next generation of students. To keep growing, we must understand how to meet their needs.
Here's what we know. Today's students are creative and inquisitive. They quickly absorb knowledge and information. Growing up in a world that changes quickly, they've learned to adapt to technology and totally new opportunities for social networking, which affect relationships and interaction. And, they truly want to make a difference in that world.
These are exciting times for SkillsUSA students, who are using new technology to plan their future. Our instructors, facing the challenge of meeting students' needs in rapidly changing education and workplace environments, have more tools and electronic resources than ever before.
By continuing to enrich our website, SkillsUSA is creating better ways for our students, instructors and business partners to interact. We offer instant access to online training tools and materials. But just as we've always done, we provide something that's No. 1 on many students' minds: the opportunity to serve others and make a difference. Everyone has something to give whether time, talent or money to make his or her school, community and the world a better place.
I learned something a long time ago that's just as true today: Sitting on the sidelines waiting for something to happen will always keep you on the sidelines. This is your time to be involved, and SkillsUSA is your chance to get in the game.
Inside this issue of SkillsUSA Champions, you'll find many examples of people who stepped off the sidelines to make a difference: the students on our new national officer team, national gold medalists, advisors of the year, involved business partners, and students involved in service learning. These are all true champions of SkillsUSA who make the world better.
Like them, you can use SkillsUSA's resources from competitions to community service to improve your chapter and its activities. Use the new school year as a fresh start to improve yourself and what you can offer. Whether a student, teacher or business partner, you can help make this year SkillsUSA's best yet. Together, we can do great things.
Got questions about SkillsUSA or other topics? E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or send a letter to SkillsUSA / P.O. Box 3000 / Leesburg, VA 20177. Put "Ask Tim" in the subject line or mail address.

What You Need To Know About SEO In 2013
Update: 2013 is drawing to a close and we've now pubished a new post looking at SEO in 2014. In the past 12 months many of our predictions have come true as Google continues to crack down on spam and expands the knowledge graph.
With 2012 over, everyone has started making predicting about what lies ahead for SEO in 2013, so here are ours.
First prediction: SEO will be have two hundred new definitions by the end of the year - after 2012 it's already known as inbound marketing, content strategy and even growth hacking (?!)
Second prediction: It will still be as important as ever!
That's it for our predictions. No one can guess exactly what's going to happen this year so instead, here are our thoughts as to which SEO trends you should be paying attention to right now.
If you'd like learn more about SEO and what you should be doing with it in 2013, come on one of our SEO Courses.
Semantic Search
It's right there as Google's mission statement: they aim to organise, and make accessible and useful, all of the world's information. With these goals in mind, it's little wonder that the focus of SEO has turned to a more semantic categorising of the web.
Where there were once pages and their relations there are now entities and their relations. In other words, we are seeing a greater emergence of an internet of things.
Is Google about to start showing rel=publisher in SERPs?
UPDATE JULY 2014: Google has now withrawn authorship photos from SERPs. With this in mind it is unlikely that publisher info will start showing. We still recommend implementing authorship & publisher markup as results will still have a byline and your content will rank better for your Google+ connections.
Recently, while testing out some new titles and markup for our Photoshop courses using Google's Rich Snippet Testing Tool, I was surprised to notice a new addition to the preview:
This will be a familiar sight to those who have marked up their blogs with rel=author already, which we highly recommend. Author info in SERPs is highly visible and many sites (big and small) are seeing a marked increase in click through since implementing author markup. Pages with author markup look similar in the testing tool but usually show the author info on the left of the result in SERPs:
As yet, I haven't found any example of Publisher information appearing in SERPs but if Google is showing it in Rich Snippets previews it can only be a matter of time before they go live.

INDIANAPOLIS — Butler Theatre begins its spring 2013 season with "Pigeons," a new play by Butler English Professor Dan Barden, Feb. 20 to March 3 in Lilly Hall Studio Theatre 168.
Tickets are $15 for general admission, $10 for senior citizens, and $5 for Butler students with identification. Tickets are available online at butler.edu/theatre/productions/reservations/ or may be reserved by calling the box office at 940-9247 beginning two weeks before each production opens.
"Pigeons," directed by Theatre Department Chair Diane Timmerman, begins with previews at 8 p.m. Feb. 20 and 21. It opens at 8 p.m. Feb. 22 and runs at 8 p.m. Feb. 23, 28, March 1 and 2, and 2 p.m. Feb. 24, March 2 and 3.
"Pigeons," which takes place on a sidewalk outside an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in a metropolitan area, tells the story of a group of young women who are all sponsored by the same charismatic and powerful woman named Sarah. They're gathered on the sidewalk because they have the sense something is wrong with Sarah, and they're trying to find out what it is.
"It's an intense moment in all their lives where they're hashing out a lot of the things that have happened to them," Barden said, "and basically trying to save their friend who has something going on that she won't share with them."
"Pigeons" is Barden's second play for Butler Theatre. He wrote his first one, "Luke's Father and the Sled," in 2004 at Timmerman's request "and it was one of the most delightful experiences I've ever had as a writer," he said.
"It opened my mind to ways of doing things that I'd never been open to before," Barden said. "The primary reason for that was that I wanted to provide something for these young actors to do. I wrote the play with them in mind, I revised the play as they were doing rehearsals, and it was just a great experience for me."

|Offers clarifications on voucher schools
Letter to the Editor:
After reading Mr. Gullan's letter (May 1 issue) about voucher schools, I felt a little clarification was needed. Mr. Gullan stated, "Private voucher schools are usually better."
This is the headline from an article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel of April 23, 2013: "Wisconsin voucher students lag in latest state test."
The article states, "About 13% of students in private voucher schools scored proficient or better in math and about 11% scored proficient or advanced in reading . . . Milwaukee Public Schools' overall proficiency rates of about 19% of students proficient in math and about 14% clearing the proficiency bar in reading."
I am wondering why the state
legislators would want to expand funding for an unproven program. Mr. Gullan states, "Second, it is the parent who decides where to send their child to school." This is correct. Wisconsin has open enrollment so that parents can send their children to public schools in different districts and parents have always had the option to send their children to private schools.
The rural districts, such as the districts surrounding Eagle River, would not benefit from voucher expansion. Our tax dollars would go to urban areas to fund their private schools.
Another article from the Journal Sentinel stated, "Vouchers began in Milwaukee, were expanded to Racine last year, and under Walker's proposal would be allowed in nine additional districts. Those are: Beloit, Fond du Lac, Green Bay, Kenosha, Madison, Sheboygan, Superior, Waukesha, and West Allis-West Milwaukee.
"School leaders in all nine districts have spoken out against the plan, saying it would devastate their budgets and shift students into private schools that aren't held to the same accountability measures as public schools."
My last clarification or question relates to this statement: "When I see letters from our educators expressing concern over our under-achieving education system and offering ways to fix it, I will decrease my skepticism."
I don't think that Ms. Andrist is a teacher.

The prestigious U.S. Open tournament will get underway on Thursday at the Olympic Club in San Francisco. A stacked field of the world's best golfers will be competing to take home the trophy in the second of four annual Grand Slam events.This will be the 112th U.S. Open in history, and the history of the tournament is obviously a storied one.
All previous winners of the U.S. Open are guaranteed a spot in the tournament, as well as all golfers who completed 72 holes in the 2011 edition. For most others, they were required to win a regional tournament in order to qualify for a berth in the U.S. Open. Many amateurs who have fulfilled the amateur requirements will also be participating.

The Olympic Club -- and the U.S. Open in general -- is known for being quite difficult, particularly its front nine. With a par of 70, it is unlikely to see a leader come in well under in any round.
Rory McIlroy is the defending champion, having won the 2011 U.S. Open by a record-breaking cumulative score of 16-under and besting second-place finisher Jason Day by a whopping eight strokes. He will be back this year and will attempt to make it two in a row. If he does, he'll become just the fourth golfer to ever win the U.S. Open in consecutive years.
Tiger Woods has won the U.S. Open three times. Woods enters this year's event as the odds-on favorite to win. If he does so, he will enter into a tie with four other golfers for the most career U.S. Open titles, a group that includes Bobby Jones and Jack Nicklaus.
The tournament began in 1895, when the United States Golf Competition staged a 36-hole tournament consisting of 10 professional golfers and one amateur. 21-year-old Harold Rawlins became the first U.S. Open champion by shooting a combined 173 over the two rounds.
Bobby Jones really helped the popularity of the U.S. Open take off, as he won his four titles over the span of eight years between 1923 and 1930. The most recent amateur to win the tournament was John Goodman in 1933.
While McIlroy's 268 is the lowest score for a modern U.S. Open, four golfers share second place on that list: Woods, Nicklaus, Jim Furyk and Lee Janzen have all shot a 272 in the tournament. Nicklaus did it twice: in 1967 and in 1980. McIlroy's 16-under is the most strokes under par through 72 holes in the tournament, easily besting the 12-under Woods put up in 2000 at Pebble Beach.
Who will write their name in the history books this year? Golf fans are anxious to find out.

Carnival of Madness - sponsored by Monster Energy - returns this summer with multi-Platinum rock band SHINEDOWN, along with PAPA ROACH, SKILLET, IN THIS MOMENT, and WE AS HUMAN.
SHINEDOWN is indisputably one of the most successful rock bands of the past 10+ years, enjoying an unparalleled streak of hits. The band's current album, AMARYLLIS, entered the Billboard "Top 200 Albums" chart at #4 upon its release (#1 on the "Top Rock Albums" chart), and has already spawned three consecutive #1 singles with "Bully," "Unity," and "Enemies."

Two-time Grammy-nominated rock band SKILLET recently made headlines when their last album, AWAKE, became one of just three rock albums to be certified Platinum in 2012, forming an improbable triumvirate with the Black Keys' EL CAMINO and Mumford & Sons' BABEL.

New image is unveiled for hospital blood team
1:00pm Monday 12th November 2012 in Keighley
Airedale Hospital staff who take blood from patients have a new image.
Members of the phlebotomy (blood collection) team are proudly sporting new purple uniforms. Previously the staff, who run a drop-in service, wore white uniforms with an aqua trim.
The team is part of the pathology department and every morning its members go round the wards collecting blood samples from patients to take to the laboratories for analysis.
Operational manager Anne Crabtree took over the running of the team a year ago and has introduced a number of changes.
These have included altering the times of the service, producing a leaflet to let patients know what to expect from having their blood taken and making sure staff are not left without support when operating alone in community and outpatient clinics.
Ms Crabtree said: "As this team is the public face of pathology dealing with hundreds of patients on a daily basis, they need to present a professional, caring image. Phlebotomy is a skilful job and members of the team need to be successful every time. This can become tricky when people get older or have a history of smoking as their veins become very difficult to find."

wow!I think if you are coming into Canon DSLR from the P/S world it might be a very attractive option, but for those of us looking at it from the other direction your comment "suitably underwhelmed" says it all.
I'm suitably underwhelmed
now why would you buy this for the $200 premium over a T3i?
at least the T3i has 3x digital zoom in video mode which nothing else gets
BTW: concerning digital zoom in video mode, the 60D has a 640x480 video mode cropped from the center of the screen..... it's really uesfull doing image stacking in astrophotography..... wonder why nothing else has it?

A Jonesboro man was arrested after pointing a gun at and threatening another man.
ASH FLAT, AR (KAIT) – People choose to honor our nation's
veterans in many different ways.
Families in Sharp County have shown their appreciation in
recent years using something unusual – a brick.
The bricks are displayed at the American Veterans Memorial
in Ash Flat, where families can have their loved one's name etched onto a brick
so that they are remembered for keeping our country's foundation strong.
"The bricks are in honor of any veteran," Leonard Holden Jr.
of Hardy said, "no matter which service they served in and no matter when they
Holden and his family have a long history of military
"One of my ancestors served, and he was a prisoner in the
French and Indian War," Holden said.
In addition to having relatives that fought in the American
Revolutionary War, the Civil War and World War I, Holden himself served in the
U.S. Air Force during the Korean War.
"I spent about a year in Korea during the war as a forward
radar observer on the front lines in the last year of the war," he said.
A brick was laid to remember his service along with more
than 2,700 others at the veterans' memorial in Ash Flat, that Holden helped
Organizers plan to expand the memorial but must first fill up
two remaining walls with bricks.
"We still have room for 1,200 or 1,500 [more bricks],"
Holden said.
He now hopes more people come forward to honor those who
serve in the defense of freedom, just as he and hundreds of others have.
"The years go by and they're forgotten, but we shouldn't
forget what those people did," he said. "That's the primary reason for this
memorial is to remember what those people did."
The memorial is dedicated to every veteran, so bricks can be
named for anyone – no matter where they live.
The veterans' memorial committee plans to place another
order on April 1 for new bricks, which cost $50 apiece.
"That money is used to maintain the memorial," Holden said, "and
to help with the rest of the construction we want to do here."
If people are interested in purchasing a brick, they should
call Ash Flat City Hall at 870-994-7324; Leonard Holden at 870-856-2268; or
Nelson Gatewood at 870-856-2216.
The American Veterans Memorial is located on Nix Ridge Road
in Ash Flat.
