Diagnosis and Disease Process
What is Juvenile Arthritis?
The word arthritis literally means joint inflammation (arth=joint); itis=inflammation). Joint inflammation causes joint pain, stiffness, swelling and decreased mobility. However, joint pain alone is not arthritis. It is only arthritis if there are signs of inflammation and joint pain found in physical examination. Arthritis can be a chronic illness, meaning that it may last for months or years. Juvenile arthritis is what people call arthritis or an arthritis-related condition (rheumatic disease) that people get before age 16.
About 300,000 children in the United States have a form of juvenile arthritis. Children also are affected by arthritis as a part of many other diseases, including disease of the spine, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and other organs.
The cause of most forms of juvenile arthritis remains unknown. Juvenile arthritis is not contagious and there is no evidence that foods, toxins, allergies, or lack of vitamins play a role. Current research indicates that there may be a genetic predisposition to juvenile arthritis. In other words, the combination of genes your child received from family members may cause development of arthritis when combined with other factors.
Most of the symptoms of juvenile arthritis are due to inflammation. That means warmth, swelling and redness. It is usually caused by an immune system that works too much and harms your body. With juvenile arthritis, the immune system hurts your joints. For this reason, juvenile arthritis is considered an autoimmune disease. Despite not knowing the exact cause or causes, there are many effective treatments available to help you and your child manage juvenile arthritis.
Not only can symptoms from day to day, they can even change during the same day for your child. One day, it might seem that your child has gone into remission. Remission is a period when arthritis symptoms and physical exam findings disappear. Only your child's doctor can decide when your child is in remission. To do that he or she will do an exam. An exam is needed because arthritis is considered active if even one joint is inflamed.
Other days, your child might experience a flare. A flare is when arthritis is more active. Your child may not feel well, have pain or have a joint that is swollen, pink or doesn't move as well. More about remission and flares.
Diagnosing Juvenile Arthritis
Your child's doctor may take many steps to find out if your child has a form of juvenile arthritis. While it can be frustrating, try to be patient. Ask questions about tests or procedures you don't understand. The main steps involved in making a diagnosis may include:
- A complete health history to help determine the length of time and character of symptoms that have been present, to rule out other possible causes such as trauma or infections, and to find out if other family members have had arthritis or related conditions.
- A physical examination to look for joint inflammation, rash, nodules and eye problems that may suggest the presence of juvenile arthritis or related conditions.
- Laboratory tests including erythrocyte sedimentation rate (sed rate or ESR), antinuclear antibody test (ANA), anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP), rheumatoid factor test (RF), HLA-B27 typing, complete blood count and urinalysis. Other tests may be ordered if your doctor thinks they are needed.
- X-rays of joints to check for signs of joint damage. Radiologic imaging of joints may include ultrasound, CT scan, and MRI scan as well as traditional X-rays. Getting a diagnosisis a good first step toward making a treatment plan for your child's arthritis.

The nation's top intelligence official is concerned that terrorist groups such as al-Qaida, in the midst of regrouping and marshaling new recruits, are paying more attention to the Southwest border as they look for ways to enter the United States -- where their goal is to cause "mass casualties."
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has intercepted 178 Iraqis seeking asylum by crossing the Southwestern border so far this year, nearly triple the 60 captured in 2006, according to figures from the office of National Intelligence Director Mike McConnell. None of those Iraqis have been linked to terrorist organizations.
McConnell, the member of the president's Cabinet who oversees all 16 of the nation's intelligence agencies, points to the recent declassified intelligence summary stating that al-Qaida is regrouping in the mountainous border region between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
"You've got committed leadership. You've got a place to train. They've got trainers, and they've got recruits," McConnell said last week in an exclusive interview with the El Paso Times after his talk at the Border Security Conference.
"The key now is getting recruits in. So if your key is getting recruits in, how would you do that?"
McConnell said terrorists have been crossing the Southwest border, but the numbers and other details are classified, according to intelligence officials. He points to Mahmoud Youssef Kourani, whose case became public when he was tried in a U.S. court. Kourani, who entered the country through Tijuana, Mexico, in 2001, pleaded guilty to helping Hezbollah raise money in the Detroit suburb where he lived. Hezbollah has been designated by the United States as a terrorist organization.

Is Michael Crabtree completely on board with Alex Smith ushering in the Jim Harbaugh era as the 49ers' starting quarterback?
Any doubts that Smith, a free agent, would not be back with the Niners have been all but extinguished in the wake of a four-day, players-only minicamp at San Jose State this past week that was dubbed "Camp Alex." Sources on the scene said it has become clear that Smith has had an enthusiastic change of heart about his status with the Niners and couldn't be more excited about the coming season.
"He really wants to make it work," one team insider said of Smith. "He's always wanted to make it work. I think putting down roots is part of it. He just had his first son and seems pretty settled down in the Bay Area."
Crabtree, however, offered a different vibe, totally downplaying Smith's organizational efforts and apparent starting status at the beginning of the minicamp before shutting down with sore feet after working out in new cleats the first day of practice. There was instant speculation that Crabtree's apparent lack of commitment to Smith might have been due to Smith's response a week earlier when asked by local media members why Crabtree had not been attending prior informal workouts involving Niners players. "Good question," Smith answered cryptically. "Honestly, I don't know."
Smith told team insiders he regretted making that comment, and that he quickly apologized to Crabtree. He also openly acknowledged the lack of chemistry between him and Crabtree and indicated that a concerted effort needs to be made to improve their relationship. But with Crabtree continuing to beat to his own drum, the verdict remains out.
"He's just a really different guy, a lone wolf," the insider said of Crabtree. "The other players like him, and he runs great routes and works very hard. But he just prefers to do a lot of stuff on his own."
As a result, while there does not appear to be anything close to an outright rift between Crabtree and Smith, the potential for mixed messages continues.

Yesterday, I had a bowl of yolks glowering at me from inside the fridge willing me to make something out of them. Today I had icecream for dessert! :)
How? Well, it happened this way! I was scouring my favorite blogs for inspiration and ran into Barbara's Livestrong with a Taste of Yellow event at her blog winoandfoodies. And, that struck a chord. This event is in support of the Lance Armstrong Foundation to raise awareness of cancer and the idea is to make a dish that contains a yellow food. It was perfect in so many ways!
I lost a very cherished family member to the disease and reading that post flooded back the memories and gave me the much needed spark. My grandad loved food and his favorite dessert was ice cream. He would sneak into the kitchen in the night (when my mom was asleep) and help himself to some chilled goodness :)). Through his travails with cancer, he would ask for milk to cool down and it did make him feel better....
Anyway, so I thought ice cream would be a perfect ode to him, the Foundation and my yolks! :)
This is my first attempt at homemade ice cream and honestly, it blew me away. And, I don't even have an ice cream maker. I am almost convinced not to get the store bought variety again! Well, there is the convenience factor but aside from that homemade beats the store many hands down.
I used alphonso mango puree from the tin to make the ice cream. Alphonsos are the sweetest and richest of mangoes, available in India during season and no other mango matches that taste. If you can find the fresh mangoes, they are the best but second to that I would definitely recommend these tinned purees for any dessert preparation. You can find them at most Indian grocery stores.
So, after a day of preparation, hand churning and many stolen sips and tastes and licks of the mixing blades (even a drop is too good to waste!!), my mango and saffron frozen custard was set and ready to be devored.
It may not be summer any more but it is always ice cream time and the homier the better! :)
Mango - Saffron Ice Cream
Making ice cream is really easy. But, if you don't have an ice cream maker then it needs some maintainence and constant churning for the first few hours. So, please budget time accordingly
Ice cream made this way, needs to be consumed within a couple of days as there aren't any preservatives in it. But, I don't see that as a problem, anyway! :)
3 egg yolks
1-1/4 cups half and half or light cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup alphonso mango puree
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the yolks and sugar until smooth (about 2 minutes). Meanwhile, heat the half and half in a heavy bottomed pan to just below boiling point.
Slowly, and while continuously whisking the mixture, incorporate the hot milk into the yolk mixture. It is very important that you continue whisking, else the yolks will scramble.
To prepare the custard, pour the mixture back in to the pan and over medium heat, gently heat the mixture, stirring often. The mixture will start to thicken. Continue heating until the mixture coats the back of a wooden spoon and if you run your finger along the back of the spoon, the streak remains without the cream running down through the streak.
Remove from heat immediately. Do not over heat as the eggs will curdle (done that before!). Whisk the mixture for a minute to stop the custard from cooking further. Strain through a fine sieve to remove any lumps or scrambles. Stir in the saffron and let sit for 5 minutes for the strands to release color (they will continue to color even after). Stir in the vanilla and mango puree till fully incorporated. Cool the mixture to room temperature.
Cover the custard with plastic wrap and refrirgerate for atleast two hours until completely cold. At this point, you can process the mixture in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions.
No Ice Cream Maker Instructions:
Don't fret. It really is simple to make ice cream without all the gadgets. I used to be under the false impression that it was tedious and painful but seriously, it just needs a teeny bit of commitment.
Once the custard mixture is cold, move it to the freezer. After about 45 minutes, check on the mixture. If it has started freezing on the edges, remove and whip up the mixture with a hand-held mixer to break the ice crystals and incorporate some air to create the fluffiness. Return to the freezer and repeat the whisking every hour, three more times. Freeze the mixture for atleast 6 hours or overnight, depending on the texture you like.

Academic Support
Biennium I
Early identification of problems begins with: pre-matriculation performance, self-assessment academic evaluations, optional diagnostic testing, frequent course testing, and observations by faculty and staff. The associate deans for both Student and Academic Affairs monitor student performance on all tests throughout the academic year and, as needed, initiate discussions with at risk students, course directors, academic advisors and, the support personnel.
Types of Academic Support
The academic advisor, Laura M. Johnson, located in the Office of Academic Affairs, will notify a student whose progress in a course is not satisfactory. In such cases, the student is responsible for scheduling an appointment with the academic advisor. During the appointment, the academic advisor will recommend a mutually agreed upon intervention or study plan for the student. The plan may include recommendations that the student seek group or private tutoring, evaluation of study and time management skills, financial assistance, professional counseling or other measures that may assist the student in having successful outcomes. It is the responsibility of the student to implement the plan that is developed, and to correct unsatisfactory performance.
The student may also contact the Office of Student Affairs and Admissions for guidance and to discuss school policies, including policies governing dropping a course, academic probation, dismissal, or withdrawal.
Individual and small group tutors are available to students who are at risk or experiencing difficulty with a course. Tutor assignments are made through the academic advisor, (937) 775-3392.
Evaluation for specific learning disabilities is available on request. Academic support personnel in the Office of Student Affairs or the WSU Office of Disability Services in the Student Union can provide you with a list of professional evaluators. The criteria used by the National Board of Medical Examiners for determining accommodations on the USMLE is available in the Office of Student Affairs.
Summer make-up courses are available for students who have permission from the Student Promotions Committee to repeat a course. A catalog of available courses is on file in the office of the Associate Dean for Student Affairs.
Requesting a Tutor
Students who believe they need the assistance of a tutor should make a short appointment (10-15 minutes) with the academic advisor, (937) 775-3392. A brief form is filled out during that appointment.
Each student is subsequently matched with a pre-certified tutor, and notified by e-mail. The tutor is also notified of the match/assignment. It is the responsibility of the student (tutee) to contact the tutor to set up a meeting time. Most tutoring sessions take place weekly, although there may be some weeks in which the tutee or tutor is unavailable. All sessions are required to be done face-to-face.
Within 24 hours of assignment notification tutees are expected to make an appointment with their assigned tutor. Appointments cannot be made more than four days in advance. Missing more than two appointments without 24-hour advanced cancellation will require the tutee to see the academic advisor in order to continue to be eligible to use the tutoring services. Canceling more than two appointments during a term will require the tutee to see the academic advisor in order to continue to be able to use the services.
Tutees are limited to two, one-hour appointments per week. Tutors are allowed a maximum of seven tutoring hours (this includes prep time) per week. Tutoring may continue for most of a term, last only a few weeks, or, the assigned tutor may remain with the tutee through second year, depending on the need. Tutees who use tutors are asked to evaluate their experiences at the end of every term. Tutors and tutees are required to sign in and out of appointments using the tutoring report sheet. If the demand for tutors exceeds the availability tutees who are no longer deemed by the academic advisor to be in essential need of the service may be asked to give up their spot for another student.
Selection Criteria
The need for tutoring is determined by the following criteria:
- Current course grade
- Assessment tests/exam score(s)
- Course director's and/or academic advisor's judgment
- Student's understanding of course concepts
Selection, Training and Pay
Upper class students who completed a course with a minimum of 80 percent in the course to be tutored, and a cumulative grade average of 75 percent or better for all courses in an academic year will be considered to work as tutors. If a student's cumulative course grade average falls below 75 percent, he/she will be asked to stop tutoring. Tutoring is a professional job and should be treated as such, by both the students making the appointments and by tutors. Respecting each other's time is of the utmost importance. Each tutor is allowed a maximum of seven hours per week total tutoring time regardless of his/her academic proficiency.
In the April through May time frame of each year, the academic advisor will query students who may be interested in tutoring for the upcoming academic year. In the subsequent fall term, a training and information session will be provided for potential tutors. This session is mandatory for everyone who wants to tutor. Payroll issues, tutoring guidelines, recommendations, and other logistics are discussed. The academic advisor will finalize a tutor's list of preferred content areas. Additional tutors may sign up at the beginning the fall term, but preferably prior to the fall. They should see the academic advisor by the end of the first week of classes if possible. (Occasionally additional tutors are recruited later in the year.)
Orientation is mandatory for all tutors. The following topics are covered:
- Time and effort expected of tutors.
- Administrative procedures, including electronic time cards, tutoring logs, and time limitations.
- Changes in course requirements, objectives, and content.
- Tutoring methods, approaches, and strategies.
- The role of a facilitator in group-based learning.
- End of term tutor evaluations.
Tutors and tutees are required to sign in and out of appointments using the tutoring report sheet. There will be no exceptions. Tutors missing or canceling appointments will be asked to re-evaluate their desire to tutor. They will be referred to the academic advisor, and in most cases tutors missing more than three appointments will be asked to stop tutoring.
Tutors are paid $10 per hour. They are limited to seven hours of prep and tutoring (either group or, individual-to-individual sessions) per week and, are required to complete the tutoring report (which logs the number of hours spent tutoring), name of the student(s) tutored, subject, a brief description of content covered, problems, and recommendations. Both the tutor and tutee must sign the Tutoring Report. Tutors are permitted to work a maximum of five hours per week, in addition to prep time (no more than two hours maximum per week — approval will be required for any hours over the seven-hour maximum). E-mail, texting, and/or telephone contact are not considered tutoring sessions, and should not be recorded in the tutor's WINGS Express time sheet or tutoring report as such. Tutors are required to meet face-to-face with their tutee(s).
Tutors are only paid when they complete and submit for approval their WINGS Express time sheet and, turn in the tutoring report for that pay period end. Students are limited to working no more than seven hours per week.
Paychecks are direct deposited into the tutor's personal bank account on the Friday two weeks after any time card is submitted. Tutoring reports should be turned in to the academic advisor by 10 a.m. on the Thursday before the end of each pay period; but, no later than Friday, 5 p.m., of that pay period end. If a holiday falls on that Friday pay period end, the academic advisor will notify tutors via e-mail to submit time sheets early. Tutors are required submit time cards electronically in WINGS Express. Time sheets are verified for accuracy and will not be approved until a completed tutoring report is submitted for the corresponding pay period.
Wright State University has rules for student employment that state, "Under no circumstances should tutors begin working until contracts have been processed. If tutors do not turn in their contracts within three days of the first workday, they will be enrolled in the Ohio Public Employee Retirement System (PERS), and 8.5 percent of their pay will be withheld for the entire year. Furthermore, if tutor time cards are not processed and paid in a timely manner, withholding taxes may jump to 20 percent if processed late."
Expectations for Tutors & Tutees
Tutors are expected to meet with tutee(s) on a regular basis, as agreed, even through exam periods. This requirement applies at all times including final examination weeks. Exceptions to this policy are made when the tutor or tutee has personal extenuating circumstances or when the tutee is no longer in need of tutoring. Those tutoring more than one tutee at the same time may not multiply the number of hours by the number of students in a particular session. Tutors are required to report to the academic advisor if they are not able to work. Should students stop tutoring or want a new tutee, they should inform the academic advisor.
Tutoring sessions should take place in a safe mutually agreed upon location, preferably in an educational environment rather than the tutor or tutee's residence. Tutees are encouraged to schedule sessions regularly throughout the term and not just plan on a one-time "intensive tutoring" session just prior to exams.
The tutor should meet with the course instructor when there is a question about content. Reference materials such as textbooks, manuals, and self-assessment materials are available in the Office of Student Affairs and Admissions. No more than two items may be checked out at one time. Initial assignment of tutors will be based on a students' request and their academic ranking derived from undergraduate GPA and MCAT scores. Once academic performance information is available from courses, tutors may be reassigned to students who have greater academic needs, especially if there is a shortage of tutors. Due to potential conflicts of interest, tutoring close friends or spouses is discouraged.
If a problem develops between a tutor and a tutee which hinders productive tutoring, or if the tutor is not effective, a tutee may request a new tutor through the academic advisor.
Study Groups
The academic advisor, to accommodate a great demand for tutors, sometimes coordinates study groups. Each study group will have one upperclassman tutor as a facilitator and no more than six tutees. However, at the discretion of the academic advisor this may not exceed eight tutees. The tutor and tutees should meet regularly once or twice a week. The academic advisor located in the Office of Academic Affairs will periodically monitor the study groups. These organized study groups are not changed during a course unless a student chooses to leave the group.
Advantages of group study:
- Students come prepared for each session.
- Discussion brings out a variety of approaches to problems and concepts.
- Group participation builds self-confidence in one's knowledge base.
- Group participation promotes life-long learning skills.
- Group interaction increases sensitivity to individuality and promotes interpersonal skills required for learning and working in clinical settings.
Biennium II
As in the first biennium, our goal is to identify academic and non-cognitive problems early in the clinical years. Clerkship directors are encouraged to provide timely feedback to students throughout the clerkship or at least by the midpoint of the clerkship. Clerkship directors are encouraged to document academic and/or behavioral problems, discuss the documented deficiencies with the student and bring them to the attention of the Associate Dean for Student Affairs.
Types of Academic Support
- Clerkship directors, preceptors, and residents are available to assist students throughout the clerkship experience. Students should take responsibility for seeking help as soon as they are aware of academic or personality problems that interfere with clinical performance. The clerkship director has a number of resources available to help students be successful. In some cases the clerkship director, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, and the student's advisor may consult together to determine the best approach to helping a student.
- A student's advisor generally provides independent and objective advice to a student. Developing a continuing relationship with your advisor can be very beneficial throughout the clinical years. Advisors are trained to do academic counseling and have access to numerous resources in the school and community.
- A student with an academic or behavioral problem may be assigned to a faculty mentor.
- Occasionally, students are placed in a non-graded clerkship to work on specific deficiencies. The Student Promotions Committee determines the objectives and monitors the student's progress through the clerkship.
- At times, a student may need to take a leave of absence in order to resolve a problem (see LOA policy).
Academic Advisors
Roles of Advisors
In the beginning of Year-2, all students are assigned a Careers in Medicine Academic Advisor who is a physician and faculty member. Advisors provide a wide variety of assistance to students, helping them to succeed both academically and personally. In the eyes of students, they may be a mentor, friend, or advocate amongst the physician faculty. They have an ongoing relationship with students, lasting for the duration of medical school. The role of the Advisor is as varied as the individuals who serve in this capacity. There are, however, certain common roles that they fulfill for students.
Frequently, the Advisor takes on the role of a mentor. This depends on the individual student, the Advisor, and circumstance to a large extent. The Advisor is a role model for the student to at least some degree in all Advisor-advisee relationships. In some cases where the chemistry is right, the Advisor may become the most important role model for the student. This often leads to more interaction between the student and Advisor and a more active role for the Advisor as a career counselor for the student. Advisors are trained in helping students to accurately self assess their strengths and weaknesses, to explore the various specialties of medicine, and to find a specialty which is the best fit for the student.
The Advisor most often plays the role of a friendly person among our academic community who can listen and talk to students free of other responsibilities such as grading, supervising, or disciplining. Until students reach Year-2, they may not have had an opportunity to relate in a close manner with clinical physician faculty. Because they were medical students once, Advisors can empathize with students in a way that even parents, old friends or clergy cannot. Being a receptive and friendly ear to students is one of their most important roles.
Infrequently Advisors may be called upon to serve as the student's advocate in interacting with administration, faculty, residents, etc. Students who are appealing decisions of the Student Promotions Committee may wish to have their Advisor accompany them to their appeal hearings before the committee. Similarly, should a student have a hearing before the Honor Code Council, he or she may wish to be accompanied by their Advisor. These are only a few of the ways Advisors serve in the role of an advocate for the student.
The Advisor System
Academic Advisors serve as the first tier in providing students with guidance and assistance. Although an attempt is made to match students with an advisor in their specialty of preference, this is not always possible due to the limited number of available advisors. One of the advisor's most important roles is to help students plan fourth year schedules. They also assist students in the residency application process. Advisors are not expected to be knowledgeable about residency programs in all specialties of medicine.

What fighter comes to mind first after reading the title of this topic. Every fighter has there rinkles, but which 1, to you, stands out the most, and makes u feel that it's only a matter of time soon to come before he gets exposed.
Russell Jr.
Garcia... To name a few.

I ommitted a few guys because I dont watch enough of them to make a fair and accurate comment.
Gamboa- Allows himself to get hit unnecessarily in chase of a KO.
Thurman- Leans forward too much on his punches. Can be a bit overzealous. Seems like his first KO loss will be to a nicely placed uppercut.
Donaire- I don't know if he really does it to force the action or not, but he gets hit way too much by inferior opponents. He also squares his body up a lot when he gets in his little "zone".
Broner- Like Bernard Hopkins in the fights just before Pavlik, Broner is a pure boxer who sometimes can't understand that it isn't enough to just look more technically sound that your opponent. We all know he lands the cleaner, crisper punches but sometime the judges don't care if a punch from your opponent only partially landed.
Russell Jr.- He comes in kinda wide and completely drops his hands when he's throwing combinations. Ironically, he's most vulnerable when he goes in for the kill.
Mares- If he runs into a veteran referee whose not afraid to call him on his bullshit and knows what to look for, he may struggle. Also, if he runs into a guy that can keep him on the end of their jab.
Quillin- Loses focus and leans on the ropes, taking unnecessary punishment. He also keeps his guard too high at times. N'Dam was able to touch him to the body on far too many occassions. Also, you can sweep the hook around his guard with regularity.
Garcia- He's just wild. I think it's a matter of time before some boxer with a solid IQ and str8 punches tags him up really good. I think the person to do it won't even be a big puncher.

Town Square
Palo Alto Falls Behind - again
Original post made by Fred on Dec 30, 2012
Web Link
Others have started to ban single-serve water and other drink containers. Why are we allowing our town to fall behind? These items litter our street and roadsides, and can be replaced by re-usable containers that virtually all already own. We should ban all single-serve drink containers - sale or possession - in our town. Do we have to wait before this begins to impact property values before attending to this critical issues?
on Dec 30, 2012 at 9:05 pm
i like single serving bottles. It will never affect property values. Don't be silly.
on Dec 30, 2012 at 9:40 pm
Society would be much better served by a mandatory death penalty for littering than it ever will be served by any bag bans, or bottle bans or any such lowering to the "lowest common denominator" we have for behavior in current society.
If littering is the problem, address it directly and effectively.
Getting the perps off the earth, and their DNA out of the genome solves the problem, and also raises the "lowest common denominator", improving society for everyone.
on Dec 30, 2012 at 10:46 pm
> Society would be much better served by a mandatory death penalty for littering
That seems a bit extreme, but it does seem like "society" should really start taking a serious look at certain types of petty crime and seeing what it says about perpetrators. I agree that most people who litter are just missing something in their brains about citizenship and they should get some kind of serious punishment and counseling or something. Graffitti is another thing. It see,s sometimes that everything that is not 24 hours in the pubic eye and some things that are are getting vandalized by graffitti all over. Sometimes I think they ought to go back to the rack and whipping people in the town square for stuff like this ... nothing seems to make an impression on these thugs.

The Poster Shop at GroundWorks
The Poster Shop at GroundWorks, a service of the Digital Media Commons, is a facility for printing large-format color academic posters, such as those for class presentations or professional conferences.
9:00am to 4:00pm Monday through Friday
$11 per linear foot (plus any applicable taxes), which helps to cover the cost of supplies, equipment, and administration. Increments of a foot are rounded up to the next one half foot.
Methods of payment
- We accept all major credit cards.
- We can charge a university account, but you must provide particular information to do so. Please see our "How to Pay" page for details.
- We cannot accept cash.
First floor, in GroundWorks; enter from Central Collaboration Area
email@example.com, 647-5739
The Printer
The Poster Shop is equipped with a Hewlett-Packard DesignJet 5500PS inkjet printer, which prints on 36" wide, roll feed, high gloss photo paper. The DesignJet's high resolution color output, combined with glossy paper, produces near magazine quality output that is ideal for class or conference posters.
Creating a Poster
Suggestions and guidelines for how to create a poster are available here.
Printing Your Poster
Important things to know before coming to the Poster Shop to print are available here
After you send your print job to the print server, the GroundWorks Consultant will show you a preview of your poster on the print server's display monitor. Carefully review the image to ensure that all of your images are there and that there are no problems with your text. If you agree that this is the image you want to print, then the consultant will send it to the printer. Once the printing begins, it outputs at about 5 minutes per foot. Stick around and watch the first 5-6 inches come out of the printer, again to ensure that it looks the way you expect. After this point, you'll be responsible for the cost of the print.
The procedure is strictly "first come, first served," from the time your file arrives in the print server queue. Be prepared by planning to print a couple of days ahead of your deadline. This will provide you with enough time to troubleshoot or re-create your poster in order to print it properly. The GroundWorks consultants make their best effort to print your file, however, technical problems can occur and we can not guarantee results in every circumstance.

With spring training underway and the season approaching, it's time we take a look at the teams the Red Sox will be facing the most -- the other four squads in the American League East. First up, the Baltimore Orioles.
The Orioles have had a fascinating run since we last saw them celebrating their
World Series victory elimination of the Red Sox in game 162. A general manager search came first, and took far longer than it should have. Countless interviews were conducted, but the (very loud) whispers suggested that no one wanted to work under or with owner Peter Angelos without contractual promises that it would be their team to run. Jerry Dipoto signed on to work with the Angels instead of the Orioles. Toronto Blue Jays assistant GM Tony LaCava decided he would rather remain the Riker to Alex Anthopoulos's Picard than helm the Orioles.
Dan Duquette ended up getting the gig; he had been out of the majors for a decade, so now was as good of a time as any for him to attempt a front office comeback. Duquette made moves both on and off the field, bringing in international signings to shore up the rotation, switching many of the scouting duties to video rather than personnel, and getting his team banned from scouting official South Korean baseball events by attempting to sign a teenager without getting permission first. No, really:
via d3j5vwomefv46c.cloudfront.net
All of that has helped lead to the product they will put on the field in 2012, in the tough-as-ever American League East. There are some new faces, some rearranged ones, and those with the familiar stench of Oriole baseball ever emanating from them.
All projected lineups come from MLBdepthcharts.com. You might think I'm avoiding taking responsibility for anything that is amiss, and you'd be right.
C - Matt Wieters: Wieters is the star of this Orioles team, even if he hasn't developed quite as envisioned. There were concerns his body would keep him from being a quality defensive catcher, but that his bat would allow him to flourish wherever. As it turns out, Wieters is one of the better defensive backstops in the majors, and his bat is finally coming around, too. He hit .262/.328/.450 in 2011, and there's no real reason to think he can't do that or better in 2012.
1B - Chris Davis: Davis ended up in Baltimore as part of the Texas Rangers deal for reliever Koji Uehara. He hit in Baltimore just like he hit in Texas from 2008-2010: poorly. He'll be just 26 in 2012, and he's a career .337/.397/.609 hitter in Triple-A. If there was ever a place to find out if he's worth something, it's in Baltimore, where the pressure to compete won't influence the team's decisions about cutting Davis' time short. The opportunity to do so won't automatically make it true, though.
2B - Robert Andino: I know it feels like Robert Andino is seven feet tall and swings a fallen tree as his bat with an ease and grace that belies its size, but in reality he's a sub-200 pound infielder with a career .245/.302/.331 line. That doesn't change the havoc he wreaked upon the Red Sox in 2011, but it doesn't change the fortunes of this year's Orioles squad much, either.
3B - Mark Reynolds: Reynolds is fascinating. He's very boom or bust, and not just at the plate: how he plays on defense determines the value of his season. He's somewhere between below-average and replacement level, depending on who you ask: Baseball-Reference had him at +3 wins offensively last year (.221/.323/.483 at third is some fine work) but -2.5 wins defensively. Baseball Prospectus lopped 1.5 wins off his of value thanks to his glove, and Fangraphs knocked nearly three wins of value off his total. He'll need another 2009 to cross the "above-average" threshold, even if his defense isn't as poor as it was in 2011. That's a tall order.
SS - J.J. Hardy: James Hardy has seen his career go through various ups and downs, but he's one of the more useful shortstops out there in a general sense. He's got a good glove, and when his bat is on, he's doing things like hitting 25-30 homers. He's one of the brighter spots on an Orioles team that is decidedly mediocre on its better days.
LF - Endy Chavez: MLB.com's video embedding is having one of those days where it hates fans, so I leave you with this:
via mlb.mlb.com
CF - Adam Jones: Jones is the one piece in the lineup that could be dangled in a trade. Wieters is someone to build around, while Hardy and the next player up are under contract. How the Jones situation is handled -- whether it's a trade or an extension -- will play a significant part in the reshaping of this seemingly moribund franchise.
RF - Nick Markakis: Markakis has only been able to display both patience and power that one time. It was a fine season, that 2009 campaign where he hit .306/.406/.491, but it's behind all of us now, including Markakis. He's hit .291/.356/.431 the last three years, and while that's not bad, it's not good, either. This description fits far too many of these hitters.
LHP Wei-Yin Chen
RHP Jason Hammel
LHP Brian Matusz
RHP Jake Arrieta
LHP Tsuyoshi Wada
Chen and Wada are the aforementioned international signings. They're likely league-average hurlers at best, and while that doesn't sound like much, given the low price paid for them and the state of Baltimore's pitching the past few years, that'd be a welcome sight. It's no guarantee, though: there might only be three major-league caliber starters in this rotation, but we'll find out about that this summer.
Hammel came over from the Rockies in the Jeremy Guthrie trade, and while he's cheaper than Guthrie, it's very unlikely he's better. Guthrie has been perpetually underrated by the league, a fact that was apparent this winter when the O's couldn't get anything for him. Brian Matusz was all kinds of record-setting bad in 2011, but he has far more talent than that season showed. It's hard to place much faith in spring stats, but given Matusz looked like someone who would struggle against Single-A hitters at times last year, the 10 frames with 13 whiffs and no walks or homers is likely a great sign for the still-promising lefty.
Arrieta needs to overcome his own homer troubles -- as well as walks -- but I still think there's a chance he comes something useful. It's tough to do so in front of Baltimore's defense and in their homer-friendly park, but the chance exists for Arrieta to be a productive big league starter.
The pen doesn't look great, but the combination of Jim Johnson and Matt Lindstrom means the team is likely set in the eighth and ninth innings. Given the questions about the rotation, though, it's not hard to see a situation in which the pen is blowing games in the sixth and seventh with regularity. Kevin Gregg is semi-useful; if you have to bet on him for holding leads in key situations prior to the eighth, then your bullpen isn't in great shape.
The O's have more to offer than what's at the big league level, but their five- and four-star prospects aren't going to be ready until 2013 and 2014 at the earliest. Zach Britton is the rotation's best hope besides Matusz at something both young and productive in the short term, but he'll need to prove he's healthy and capable of fending off the behemoths of the AL East. It's an uphill battle for Baltimore to get back to relevance in the toughest division in baseball, and this squad isn't going to be the one to break the cycle of losing.

INDIANAPOLIS — Rail service between Indianapolis and Chicago will continue for at least another year under a tentative agreement reached between Indiana and Amtrak officials.
Gov. Mike Pence announced Tuesday that the deal will keep the Hoosier State passenger rail service operating for one year with an option for an additional four months. Funding for the operation will come from the Indiana Department of Transportation and seven communities, including Indianapolis, Lafayette and Crawfordsville.
The rail line's future had been in doubt since Congress voted in 2008 to cut off federal funding for passenger lines of less than 750 miles. Indiana lost about $3 million in annual funding for the Hoosier State line. The decision also affected 18 other states.
Amtrak had given Indiana and several other states six months of notice last spring that new funding was needed for shorter passenger rail services or they could face cancellation. That notice was set to expire Wednesday, but Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari said the rail company had continued selling tickets for the route.
Indiana was the final state to reach a funding agreement to continue service.
Pence praised the agreement in a statement issued Tuesday afternoon.
"This agreement will make Hoosier jobs more secure and preserve an important transportation link for Indiana," he said.
The 196-mile Hoosier State runs four days a week and carried nearly 37,000 passengers last year. The line makes stops in Crawfordsville, Lafayette, Rensselaer and Dyer.
The service brings convention and tourism business to Indiana from Chicago, and Indianapolis' downtown Indianapolis train station is ideally suited for Chicago passengers, said Bill Malcolm, a member of Hoosiers for Passenger Rail, an advocacy group formed to push for the continuation of passenger rail service in Indiana.
Department of Transportation Commissioner Karl Browning said Tuesday's agreement allows the state and local communities to build ridership and explore ways to ensure the line's long-term success.

Fire investigators are trying to determine what sparked a blaze that left at least three Atlanta residents without a place to stay on Friday.
Flames shot through the windows of a building at the Fairburn Gardens Apartments off Fairburn Road. The fire spread through three units in building "E" before crews extinguished the danger. Monique Hudson said that she was outside the building with her four children when they saw the smoke. The mother said the fire started in a bedroom and spread quickly, leaving little left to salvage."It hurts. Just to start all over again…That is my home. It hurts a lot to lose it," she said.No one was injured in the fire. "Just happy all my kids weren't there," said Hudson.Investigators shoveled through the ashes late Friday trying to pinpoint a cause. The families in the three damaged units are now working with apartment managers to figure out where they can stay in the complex.

Matt LaPorta goes unclaimed on waivers, sent to Triple-A
Nov 21, 2012, 10:15 AM EDT
Here's how far Matt LaPorta's stock has fallen since he was the centerpiece of the package Cleveland received for CC Sabathia in mid-2008: Yesterday the Indians dropped LaPorta from the 40-man roster and he went unclaimed by the other 29 teams on waivers.
That means LaPorta–now 28 years old and the owner a career .694 OPS in 291 games in the majors–will remain in the Indians' organization after being sent outright to Triple-A. He's no longer on the 40-man roster, however, so if he performs well in the minors the Indians would have to re-add him before a potential call-up.
LaPorta underwent hip surgery last month that makes him no sure thing to be healthy by Opening Day, so the former seventh overall pick is facing some long odds.

The FBI says a man dubbed the "Ray Bandit" for the distinctive sunglasses he allegedly wore during 17 bank robberies in seven states is in custody in Chicago.
Authorities say Jeremy Evans of Carol Stream was arrested last week in a car matching the description of 1 used during a holdup moments earlier of a bank in Elgin.
The FBI says Evans is believed to have absconded with more than $75,000 from 17 banks since last summer in Illinois, California, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Virginia.
That robber has been nicknamed the "Ray Bandit" because he wore Ray-Ban sunglasses during the holdups.
Evans is charged with one count of bank robbery and is jailed without bond.
His attorney, Donna Hickstein-Foley, hasn't returned a message seeking comment Tuesday.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

JOHN CURTIS - Daily Union Sports Editor
SHELBYVILLE, IL. — Pana came to Shelbyville for the Annual Mid-State Trophy game on Tuesday night and took home the prize, 53-38.
Pana played nearly perfect basketball in the 1st period. They missed their first shot of the game, then made the next eight,including back-to-back 3-pointers from Dylan Hudlin, plus a pair of free throws from Metzger. Kircher came off the bench and scored twice.
Pana's man-to-man, "in your jock" defense stymied the Ram offense, producing badly missed shots and few rebounds.
Down 14-0, Ram center Brody Bence scored off his own missed put-back to get the Rams on the board. But, when Pana went on a 6-0 run, Shelby coach Mike Steers pulled the starters and put in a cadre of JV players.
With :02 left in the 1st, Devin Peterson inbounded the ball to a cutting Luke McConnell for a finger roll at the hoop, 20-4.
Tyler Hendryx forced a Pana turnover to start the 2nd. Then he forced a jump ball. Cwenton Williams put up a shot and was bumped, but no foul was called. Peterson then stole the ball and scored, 20-6.
Pana scored, then Williams stole the ball at the Pana end. Williams defense forced a miss and McConnell grabbed the rebound. Zahradka scored on a fast break and converted a 3-point play at the line. The Ram JV brought energy, but couldn't score.
Coach Steers put the Ram varsity back in, down 25-6 with 5:17 left in the half. Tucker Schwengel drove into the lane and hit a short jumper, 25-8. Kircher answered with a 3. Schwengel put up another short jumper, but was bumped and missed, no call. Bence was hacked and went to the line, making 1-of-2.
Nate Standerfer drove and picked up a foul. He made both and the Rams were in double digits the half, 28-11.
After scoring 20 in the 1st Pana was held to eight points in the 2nd and just nine in the 3rd. The Rams carved into the lead in the 3rd with a 16-9 run.
Pana scored on a drive and Bence responded with his own, 30-13. Schwengel stole a ball, but the Rams still missed. Kyle Gibson stopped and popped for a Pana two. They upped the lead to 21 points, 34-13.
From there, Shelby went on a 14-3 run to finish the period. Hendryx dribbled and popped a two. Jake Keown then got the ball to Hendryx in transition for a lay-up. McConnell got an offensive rebound and got it to Peterson for a short jumper.
On defense, Hendryx poke a ball and forced a travel. Standerfer finally dialed up a basket from long distance. Bence then avoided a near-steal and stopped and popped a two to make it 10-point game with 1:15 in the half, 34-24.
Krcher made a put-back for his ninth point of the half and Robbie hester split a pair at the line for a 13-point lead with 28 seconds left in the 3rd. Spencer Shadwell got the ball in the Ram half-court and spotted up for a 3. Pana ran at him, Shadwell faked, stepped to the left and then nailed the triple with :01 on the clock, 37-27.
The Rams were dead in the water in the 1st, but they fought back and got the game to within 10 points heading into the 4th.
The Rams couldn't make up ground quick enough. Hudlin scored, then Bence scored. Gibson then posted up for two. The ball went loose at the Ram end and it was like a greased pig, as players from both teams attempted to pick it from the moving scrum. Pana got possession, but the Ram man-to-man defense forced a turnover.
The Rams had the ball at their end for a full minute, before Standerfer struck again fromthe arc, getting the deficit under ten points with 5:00 left in the game, 41-32.
Shelby wouldn't get any closer, as Pana held them off. They took turns scoring, until Gibson scored in transition to Pana up 13 with 2:55 remaining. Bence scored in transition with 2:10 left, 49-38.
Zahradka made two free throws and then a bucket with 30 seconds left to cap the 53-38 score.

Central Wisconsin has a state champion in girls basketball after Assumption held off Barneveld's comeback in the fourth quarter, winning by a score of 39-35.
When the Golden Eagles tied the game in the final minutes of the Division 5 championship, the Royals looked to their one senior,Hannah Skibba, for leadership.
"I' ma senior, they're my girls, I know that I have to take care of them so that's something that I focused on. I didn't want to be the reason that we didn't get it done," Skibba said.
"I just told them, we're going to be okay. We're going to get this done and we're going to get this done together."
Royals head coach Joe Birkhauser said that her leadership has been present all season long.
"When they look back, you're going to look back and say what great leadership they had this year," Birkhauser said. "Hannah stepped up in all facets."
But for scoring, Assumption found freshman Gena Grundhoffer, who scored six of the Royals final eight points of the game while the team's usual go-to scorer, junior Mary Sigler,fouled out with 3:13 left.
"It 'shard to stay on the bench, especially in a big arena like this one where I'm not necessarily used to it," Sigler said.
"But I just had to rely on my teammates, because we're a team, we're a family, and they stepped up, especially from a young freshman, who just took it to the whole, made her free throws."
Grundhoffer was a perfect 8-for-8 at the charity stripe, making her free throws when it counted the most.
I was so nervous, if I made a mistake, I probably would have started crying on thee court because all these emotions that were going through me," Grundhoffer said. "But we came out, and we wanted it. And it's just awesome."We know
what type of player she's going to be and what type of player she is," Birkhauser added. When a freshman stands up there and makes free throws like she did. I mean that's pretty big time."
The Royals win their first ever WIAA state title, after last winning a state championship in the Wisconsin Independent School Athletic Association era in 1998.
Assumption also makes history by winning the very first championship game held at the Resch Center.

Maybe a rather noobish question: Why is CTRL+ALT+DEL required at login on Windows systems (I have not seen it elsewhere, but contradict me if I'm wrong) before the password can be typed in? From a usability point of view it's a bad idea, adding an extra step in getting access. So does it improve security in any way, and if so, how?
This combination is called a Secure attention key. The Windows kernel is "wired" to notify Winlogon and nobody else about this combination. In this way, when you press Ctrl+Alt+Del, you can be sure † that you're typing your password in the real login form and not some other fake process trying to steal your password. For example, an application which looks exactly like the windows login. An equivalent of this in Linux is Ctrl+Alt+Pause
† This implies a trust in the integrity of the system itself, it's still possible to patch the kernel and override this behaviour for other purposes (malicious or completely legitimate)
The answer to this can actually be found on our sister site, ServerFault. How does CTRL-ALT-DEL to log in make Windows more secure?
To quote the accepted answer by Oskar Duveborn,
Ctrl-Alt-Del is the Secure Attention Key on Windows. The operating system enforces a strong non-interception policy for this key combination.
You could make an application which goes full-screen, grabs the keyboard, and displays something which looks like the normal login screen, down to the last pixel. You then log on the machine, launch the application, and go away until some unsuspecting victim finds the machine, tries to log on, and gives his username and password to your application. Your application then just has to simulate a blue screen of death, or maybe to actually log the user on, to complete the illusion.
This attack is defeated by the SAK. Your application can grab the keyboard and redirect all keypresses to itself, without needing administrative rights, except the Ctrl-Alt-Del, which the OS never allows to be redirected. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del ensures that you get the genuine logon screen, not an imitation.
Another part of the reason - AFAIK - is to be found when considering the choice of key combination: It is very difficult to press all of Ctrl, Alt and Del at the same time with a single hand; and it is also very unlikely that all 3 keys will be pressed at the same time by something hitting the keyboard, or by you sort of banging on it etc. As David Bradley choose this combination to trigger a soft reboot (Wikipedia), it was important for it not to be triggered by mistake. This caught on for things like bringing up a user login prompt; the idea is to make you demonstrate your intention by explicitly deciding to press an "difficult" key combination (e.g. before logging in).
Of course, that's not about Windows but all PC software and firmware which utilizes Ctrl+Alt+Del.
The idea is that a trusted Windows process called Winlogon, and only Winlogon, can read the Ctrl+Alt+Del key sequence. This key sequence is called the secure attention sequence (SAS). By entering this key sequence, you are basically "proving" to yourself that it is Windows that is accepting your input. This guards against a malicious program intercepting your login credentials by creating a fake username and password form. Of course, this assumes that Winlogon is not compromised, and it may so happen that Winlogon has been tampered with so that this measure can be bypassed.
If you're presented with a login prompt without being required to press Ctrl+Alt+Del on a system configured to do so, do not enter your login credentials, because this means that a program has highjacked the login prompt. Either notify the system administrator (if the computer is owned by your company) or clean any malware on the system (if you own the computer).
The same applies with Windows 8, only that there is an additional SAS, Win+Power, for tablets which do not have a physical keyboard (Surface comes to mind).
Ctrl+Alt+Del was around way before Windows Logon, originally it simply did a soft reset on the system. The same combination is on other systems/OSs too (Atari ST springs to mind).
If the question is "why these three keys" then I would say because they are hard to push and a mistake is therefore hard (as people have said).
If the question is "why does Windows (now) use it" then I do not know, maybe because user where familiar with it it was chosen. You will need to ask the person(s) that made that decision, I am fairly sure the actual keys pressed are arbitrary (but now I am thinking it may be a low level hardware interrupt).
Some additional questions have been raised regarding Windows 8 SAS support, and a later deleted by owner separate question was posted about it, too. Since I've already started writing my answer to that question, and Windows 8 has also been mentioned in this thread, I'm thus posting it here. If that deleted question reappears, I'll move my answer there. Hopefully, it will help those that were wondering where SAS went on Windows 8 phones and tablets.
According to Windows 8 Hardware Certification Requirements as mandated by Microsoft:
So this is not a case of Secure Attention Key disappearing altogether (on keyboardless devices, others can still use SAS as before), and a combination of two standard hardware buttons Win+Pwr was merely added to the still exisiting Ctrl+Alt+Del combination to better support devices without a hardware keyboard, which is what Windows 8 was also designed for.
Of course, since it's not merely an operating system for portable devices without a physical keyboard, but also desktop computers that wouldn't have these Win+Pwr physical buttons (but they do have a keyboard), the old SAS method was still kept. If, for whatever reasons, you'd like to disable/re-enable this support, this blog (or this) explains how you could achieve that in a few simple steps.
Another related question (or more of a request really) was raised by @Iszi in the Requests for Question of The Week blog posts discussion on IT Security Meta: "I find it especially interesting to discover that Windows & Linux don't necessarily use the same Secure Attention Key. It would be nice if someone could expand a little upon that.". Since I'm already a late-to-the-party bottom feeder on this question here, and nobody can really accuse me of hijacking the rep train [1][2] it turned up to be - well, here it goes:
Main difference between the two implementations that I could find is, that the Linux SAK (yes, this is the acronym used in Linux in contrast to the SAS (Secure Attention Sequence) used in Windows) is that the Linux SAK never earned the National Computer Security Center's (NCSC) C2 security rating. Windows NT has:
But this still doesn't really explain why
It goes on explaining how to create a custom SAK handler, but the main takeaway is that the implementation differs greatly from what can be found in Windows as SAS, and that they might not be implemented at the kernel level, depending on what whether
Does this explain the differences in Windows and Linux handling of SAS/SAK? I would say that it does. User tialaramex from LWN.net explains it neatly:
Does it explain why different keyboard sequences were chosen? I'm not sure. It shows why there is more than a single such keyboard sequence in Linux and what the differences between them are (see Andrew Morton's explanation), but I couldn't find a clear answer on why was one chosen over the other and why different kernel builds might use different SAK combinations. I can only suspect that it boils down to personal preference of their respected authors.
