I didnt see any shield impacts, and I think that was explained, 1 hit took out the shields pretty much. The Narada's borg enhanced weapons went through the shields like it was nothing. Hence the shields were never really visable after the first strike. After the encounter with the Narada, the Enterprise pretty much avoids direct contact with it, even going as far as to hide in saturn's orbit to mask her from the Naradas sensors.
I'm amazed the Kelvin survived that long for 800 people to get off board asap!
One thing that did kinda stand out... the transporter...... When could you beam at such long distances. Star Trek 6.... The enterprise nearly had to be in orbit around the planet were the Kit. Accord was to be signed to transport down and save the president. Remember spock counting down till they were with in transporter range? Or did Scotty come up with his special formula after star trek 6????
Remember Relics? Since Scotty is still alive in TNG maybe he came up with it after Nemesis?

I think that the nuggets have the worst play by play man in the NBA. Seriously this guy needs to back to calling volleyball. The Nuggets and the fans deserve more. Just heard old Al Albert has returned to Denver. Got me thinking maybe he would be a good fit for the Nuggs again
I hope this means we can dump Marlow....Hastings is great, Drew Goodman is great at b-ball 2... so Goodman or Albert.. lose Marlow Please.

The System played .500 ball this week, 14-14 (154-137, .529). Both rookie league teams began play so we now have all six teams in action.
Ft. Myers activated Erold Andrus from the DL. Jose Leger was sent down to Beloit, making room for Brandon Roberts who was acquired from the Reds in the Juan Castro trade. Beloit sent four players down to Elizabethton, Danny Berg, Henry Sanchez, Josh Land and Jose Lugo. Mark Robinson and Jon Michael Cline were sent to Beloit from EST. Beloit also activated Juan Portes from the DL. After playing two games in the GCL, Josh Dean and Wesley Connors were sent up to Elizabethton. Kevin Slowey, Garrett Guzman and Matt Tolbert were promoted to New Britain. The Twins signed two more draft picks, first round selection Chris Parmelee and twelfth round pick Kevin Harrington. They also signed a free agent pitcher, Robert Delaney, from St. Johns University. Kevin Slowey was named as the Florida State League All-Star Pitcher of the Game and Trent Oeltjen was the only Twins farmhand selected for the Futures game.
Play of the Week
Following the all-star game, Ft. Myers trailed Dunedin by 2 games with 3 remaining in the first half of the season. After winning their first two games while Dunedin lost two to Tampa, the teams were tied with one game remaining and Dunedin holding the tie-breaker. The Miracle had their star pitcher Kevin Slowey throwing another gem as they entered the 8th inning in a 0-0 tie. With a runner on first and two outs, the hitter hit a routine fly ball into left center field. Garrett Guzman and newly acquired centerfielder Brandon Roberts both approached the ball. Although either player could have easily caught the ball, both pulled up at the last minute allowing the ball to drop and a run to score. Another hit would follow putting the Miracle into a 2-0 hole. They would get a run in the bottom of the 9th, however, lost the game and their chance for the first half championship and opportunity to play in this years playoffs following the season. Incidentally, Tampa came back from a 4-0 deficit to beat Dunedin!
Rochester Red Wings (AAA) (2-4, 45-29, 1st/+5.0)
The Red Wings had an off week, however, maintained their 5.0 game lead over Scranton.
Jason Tyner continues to hit well, going 8 for 25 this week with a double, 2 rbi, 1 walk and 5 strikeouts while maintaining his team and system leading .324Ave. Josh Rabe missed several games for a family funeral, however, was hot when in the lineup with 7 hits in 13 at bats and a double, 2 rbi and a walk raising his average to .316. Slugger Garrett Jones had another productive week, going 8 for 23 with a double, home run and 5 rbi...raising his system leading total to 53.
Pete Munro was 0-1 in 2 starts, pitching 11.0 innings with 12 hits, 7 runs (4 earned) and 9K/6BB. J.D. Durbin had another good start, pitching 5.0 innings with 6 hits, 2 earned runs and 9K/3BB. Jason Miller also had a good start, 5.1 innings, 6 hits, 2 runs (1 earned) and 3K/2BB. Closer Pat Neshek appeared in 1 game, 3.0 innings, 2 hits, 1 earned run and 0K/0BB.
New Britain Rock Cats (AA) (3-4, 30-39, 6th/-12.5)
The Rock Cats were 3-4 this week, however, dropped into last place 12.5 games behind Portland.
Trent Oeltjen continues to lead the team with a .313Ave. Coming off a week when he was my Player of the Week, Trent went 8 for 31 with a double, home run, 6 rbi and 4 stolen bases in 4 attempts. Matt Tolbert was promoted to the Rock Cats on Thursday, going 5 for 7 with 2 doubles in his first two games back in AA. Denard Span regained his spark, 12 for 31 with 3 doubles, 5 runs scored, 4 rbi, 2 walks, 3 strikeouts and 3 stolen bases in 3 attempts. Danny Matienzo leads the team with 42 rbi, going 8 for 25 this week with a double, home run and 3 rbi.
Matt Garza is human, pitching only 2.0 innings in his only start...allowing 6 hits, 7 runs (6 earned) with 0K/4BB. Glen Perkins had a good outing, 7.0 innings, 5 hits, 2 earned runs with 9K/3BB. Adam Harben also had a good start, 5.0 innings, 5 hits, 2 runs (1 earned) with 3K/1BB. Levale Speigner appeared in 2 games, pitching 5.0 innings with 2 hits, 1 unearned run and 5K/1BB.
Ft. Myers Miracle (Hi A) (4-1, 2-0, 1st/+1.0)
After losing their chance for the playoffs and the first half championship, the Miracle began the second half with 2 wins.
Alexi Casilla was 5 for 18 with a triple, 3 rbi, 2 walks, 1 strikeout and 1 stolen base in 1 attempt to maintain his team leading average of .312. Brock Peterson had 5 hits including 2 homers, a double and 4 rbi in 21 at bats. Jeremy Pickrel was only 3 for 16, however, had 2 triples for a system leading 10 this season.
With Kevin Slowey and Matt Garza both at New Britain, a few other starters will need to step up if the Miracle are to continue amongst the league's premier teams. Anthony Swarzak had 1 start, pitching 5.0 innings with 4 hits, 2 earned runs and 6K/4BB. Justin Jones also had 1 start, pitching 6.0 innings with 10 hits, 1 earned run and 6K/2BB. Daniel Powers is back in the bullpen where he appears to be much more effective, pitching 3.0 innings with 1 hit, 0 runs and 2K/1BB. Tim Lahey made two appearances, pitching 3.0 innings with 1 hit, 0 runs and 3K/2BB.
Beloit Snappers (A)(2-2, 1-1, 2nd/-1.0)
The Snappers also finished their first half in third place, 35-33, 5.5 games out. They split their first two games as they began the second half.
Erik Lis continues to lead the Snappers with a .314Ave. Erik was 4 for 15 this week with a double, rbi, 1 walk and 3 strikeouts. Caleb Moore continues to hit well, going 3 for 10 this week with a double, rbi, walk and 2 strikeouts. Paul Kelly is one of the systems brightest stars and arguably their top shortstop prospect. This week Paul was 6 for 15 with 2 doubles, 1 rbi, 1 walk and 2 strikeouts...raising his batting average to .275. Kelly, who is only 19, also had an error this wee...only his 6th in 68 games this season. His double play partner, Drew Thompson, also had a good week going 8 for 17 with a double, home run and 3 rbi.
Kyle Waldrop is pitching like an ace and certainly deserves to move on to Ft. Myers. Kyle appeared in 1 game, pitching 8.0 innings with 5 hits, 2 runs (1 earned) and 3K/1BB, lowering his era to 3.09. Oswaldo Sosa pitched 6.0 innings with 8 hits, 4 runs (2 earned) and 6K/0BB. Eduardo Morlan made his only start last night, leaving after pitching only 2.2 innings with 1 hit, 1 earned run and 5K/1BB. It has not been reported why he left the game early. Alexander Smit has pitched very well the last few weeks. This week he appeared in 2.0 innings with 1 hit, 0 runs and 3K/2BB. Yohan Pino lowered his era to 1.55 pitching in 2 games, 3.0 innings with 1 hit, 0 runs and 5K/0BB. Pino has a team leading 0.91WHIP with 52K/10BB in 40.2 innings this season.

I went to go see their Jazz Hip Hop Symphony #1 a few years back and it was epic. This is #2. They debuted it at Stern Grove a few months ago, but I could not attend. Now is another opportunity for people to see it:
With Brass, Bows & Beats, Adam Theis (principle composer/arranger) has brought together a fearless group of musical innovators at the top of their game delivering a major contribution to the constantly evolving American and global art form known as jazz. Rick Marianetti of The San Francisco Examiner calls Brass, Bows & Beats "one of the most exciting new works of American music in years--a seamless fusion of jazz, funk, hip-hop, electronica, and digital turntable that deserves to be heard world wide."
Approached with innovation and improvisation, Brass, Bows & Beats was developed over the course of a year with help of a $50,000 grant from The Wallace Alexander Gerbode and William and Flora Hewlett Foundations. This multi-thematic, genre-defying and community-oriented work both embraces and expands on jazz tradition, while sending a positive and pertinent message for our times.
The result is a piece that continues to impress an historical impact that simply cannot be denied; a work, as Gabe Meline of the Sonoma County Bohemian writes, "on par with Miles Davis & Gil Evans' 'Live at Carnegie Hall' or Charles Mingus' 'Epitaph' – visionary in scope, staggering in depth."
I've heard one song that they released and it is the type of song you put on repeat and listen to voer and over and over and over and over. So, I'm hoping the rest of the symphony is at the same level. So, you should go and check it out! Learn more at the Yoshi's link above.

Government measures will strengthen the importance of energy efficiency and smart technologies in green buildings
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, June 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Urbanization and the need for sustainable buildings will drive growth in the Asia-Pacific building construction market despite the soaring property prices. Green buildings that include smart features to ensure energy-efficiency are likely to attract the highest interest. Market participants, however, must find ways to capitalize on this potential in an extremely competitive market, where buyers are more inclined to purchase buildings that are constructed by established property developers.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Building Construction Market in Asia-Pacific, finds that the market earned revenues of US$494.49 billion in 2013 and estimates this to reach US$750.00 billion in 2018. The Southeast Asia region will offer highest scope for market expansion due to its burgeoning population, increasing urbanization, and economic growth in countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines and Malaysia.
"The building construction market in Asia-Pacific will continue to evolve as governments underline the importance of energy efficiency through policies and regulations that encourage the construction of green and smart buildings," said Frost & Sullivan Energy and Environmental Research Analyst Harpreet Kaur. "The market will also be better organized with the implementation of suitable guidelines for sustainable building construction across the region."
However, property developers are expected to delay project launches as they evaluate the impact of these government measures. The increase in property prices and intense competition in the market too will hold back construction to an extent.
To ensure the construction of cost- and energy-efficient buildings, create a safe environment, and differentiate themselves from their competitors, major market participants are looking to offer smart propositions. For instance, as tourism will remain an important economic driver in Asia-Pacific, hoteliers and resort owners are increasingly implementing smart initiatives to stand out.
"While existing cities will continue to strive for environmental sustainability, emerging and new cities will incorporate actionable themes that promote energy efficiency and integration with other markets such as ICT," observed Kaur. "Hence, market participants that provide both green and smart building solutions will have better chances at acquiring business opportunities in Asia-Pacific."

Despite the fact we were comprehensively outplayed, outfought, and outclassed by Falcao et al the other night, I feel that we all need to retain a bit of perspective as regards the state of Chelsea at this moment in time. Such knee jerk reactions are premature. After all, we all know this is going to be a transitional season, what with a change in tactics, formation, integration of new players, new playing style, etc. This was one game. One game in which we played horrendously badly, granted.
We've had a flying start to the season: three games, three wins, maximum points. Admittedly, I was angry and frustrated by the level of performance the other night but it doesn't change my opinion of the direction we're heading in. We took it as a friendly, which was completely wrong. Atletico were hungrier than us and wanted it much more. They pressed relentlessly, defended in numbers, stayed compact and disciplined, and countered at ferocious speed and incisiveness. Credit to Atletico. This result was a long time coming though, especially after the shaky defensive displays against Reading and Wigan. When you give Falcao the amount of time and space we did, he'll obviously hurt you. For me, he's the best striker in the world. He scores every kind of goal: right foot, left foot, headers, chips, lobs, screamers, tap ins, volleys, etc. Only RvP comes close to him in terms of finishing. Basically, Falcao is ridiculously good. I digress. Anyway, now is not the time to make ludicrous assumptions. The first real test comes on September 29th. It's still early days. I'll see where we are after Christmas, and only then will I start to make assumptions about how we'll finish the campaign.

The 2-3 Zone Comeback
2-3 zone. Syracuse style. That's what made the comeback. I love Beverly but if you really think a point guard is more important than the bigs playing well, you are nuts. The fact that OKC have no good passing big man makes Syracuse style defense pretty good. However, Sam Presti may be too smart to allow it to be effective. I should have thought about 2-3 zone, dammit.

ODU to Host Oceanic History Conference May 12-13
Old Dominion University will host the North American Society for Oceanic History's (NASOH) annual conference on Thursday and Friday, May 12-13. The event, which includes professors, graduate students and professionals from the United States, Canada, Germany and the United Kingdom, will consist of a series of seminars on a variety of topics, including naval history, submarine history, U.S. naval interests in the Pacific, whaling, seaport development and American history.
Lars Scholl, professor of maritime history at the University of Bremen and managing director of the German Maritime Museum in Bremerhaven, will deliver the keynote address at 6 p.m. in Room 101 of the Mills Godwin Jr. Life Sciences Building. His address, "Commercial Shipping and Naval Warfare: The Battle of Tsushima (1905)," will explore how the Imperial Russian Navy used the German shipping firm Hapag in 1905 for coal supplies during its military engagements with Japan in 1905. The largest logistical operation to that point executed by a private company for a navy, this endeavor underscored the interdependence between navies and commercial shipping lines - a dependence still relevant today. Following the keynote address, traditional maritime music and sea shanties will be performed at the Baron and Ellin Gordon Art Galleries from 7:30-9 p.m.
ODU's Ingo Heidbrink, professor of history, points out that "since the Department of History houses the office of the Secretary General of the International Commission for Maritime History (ICMH), it's a natural fit to host the annual conference of the respective U.S. Commission for Maritime History and thus strengthen the links between the U.S. Commission for Maritime History and ICMH." Fellow professor of history Annette Finley-Croswhite adds, " In the Department of History we are pleased to be a part of the event that will provide a forum for interdisciplinary discussions of key concerns in the fields of marine and maritime history while exploring sea history in a global context and opening vistas of understanding beyond land-bound histories."
Heidbrink and Finley-Croswhite are the joint conference organizers.
Founded in 1973, NASOH provides a forum for maritime history and houses the U.S. Commission on Maritime History. In conjunction with the Canadian Nautical Research Society, NASOH also publishes a quarterly journal, The Northern Mariner/Le Marin du Nord. In addition to Old Dominion University, conference sponsors include the Sheraton Norfolk Waterside Hotel, Routledge Taylor & Francis Group, and Vandeventer Black LLP. Major funding for this conference came from its main sponsor, Maersk Line Limited.

LAS VEGAS -- A Utah family is frantically searching for their son after his car was found in an Henderson neighborhood. The 30-year-old has been missing since the middle of December and right now his family is looking for any clues.
Chris Steven Koecher's parents say he never mentioned a trip to Las Vegas. That is why they were shocked to get a call last month saying their son's car had been parked in a Anthem neighborhood for days.
"Nothing has been the same since that minute", said Deanne Koecher, Chris's mother.
No one had seen nor heard from Steven Koecher in four days and the call to tell his parents his car was abandoned in another state came as a shock.
"We were just frightened to learn that our son had been missing for that long because we had no idea", said Steven's mother.
Surveillance video from a nearby home shows Steven's car pull up and eventually he is seen walking toward some homes. These few seconds are all his parents have to explain why their son drove to this Anthem neighborhood.
"It had a half a tank of gas the car started just fine and we noticed this is not a place where you just accidentally run out of gas. It is a hard place to get to it had to be a destination of some sort", said Rolf Koecher, Stevens father.
They believe their son was probably meeting someone but planned to return home the same day because he did not pack anything like his cell phone charger or laptop.
He even spoke to a friend while he was driving and offered to turn back around to cover a meeting for him.
"The friend said don't bother I will just cover it myself, but he would have come back. He said he would and he was telling people where he was so that does not add up to someone who wants to get away", said Steven's father.
Steven's parents say they have run out of clues and are hoping someone else will know something that can help them find their son.
"To think that he may be suffering is beyond our capacity to bare", said Steven's mother.
Already there have been several searches done with the help of the Nevada Center for Missing Loved Ones. A recent search is what brought Koecher's parents to town this weekend and they say they have no plans on giving up.
If you have any information about Steven Koecher, please contact the St. George, Utah Police dispatch at (435) 627-4300 or the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Missing Persons at (702) 229-2907.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. — About a dozen northern Indiana counties have asked people to stay off the roads for non-essential travel because of the area's heavy snowfall.
The National Weather Service says the Fort Wayne area had about 6 inches of snow by late morning Wednesday, with similar snowfall totals in LaPorte. The Indianapolis area is seeing less snowfall as temperatures stayed above freezing until midmorning.
The weather service issued a winter storm warning for roughly the northern third of Indiana, with up to 10 inches of snow possible in some spots.
Police have reported many crashes and slide-offs on snow-covered roads but no serious injuries. Many school districts also called off classes for Wednesday.
Major utilities have some 30,000 power outages across the state's northern tier. Indiana Michigan Power says it has about 8,000 outages in Allen County, which includes Fort Wayne. Northern Indiana Public Service Co. has several thousand outages in northwestern Indiana's Lake and Porter counties, along with many in largely rural areas southeast of South Bend.

Anticipation is rising as we inch closer to Saturday's UFC 128 main event between UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and fast rising star Jon "Bones" Jones.
With the media circus that has descended on Jones and the health speculation of Rua's surgically repaired knee, we have seemingly forgotten about the style clash that is about to happen at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
Rua, an all around talented mixed martial artist, brings menacing and savage Muay Thai to the table, as well as a very rarely seen but proven effective jiu-jitsu prowess. His weakness has always been wrestling, which is where things begin to get interesting.
At 23 years old, Jones has shown the growth of a veteran, improving each time he steps into the Octagon.
Another well rounded fighter, Jones has excelled in the clinch with very strong Greco Roman wrestling skills, as well as showing improving jiu-jitsu skills. His weaknesses lay in his striking, where his footwork and striking is questionable and his arsenal of flashy strikes can lead to consequences.
But for now I want to outline what I think will be one of the biggest factors heading into this fight. Follow me after the jump as I unpack the unique brilliance that "Bones" brings to the table:
Before we start talking about any sort of technique let me start by saying how frustrating it is to watch fighters shoot for takedowns without set up. What sets apart the Rashad Evans' and George St. Pierre's of the world is that they are true mixed martial artists who use a discipline to set up other disciplines. Both guys have shown amazing abilities to mix up strikes and turn on a dime into a takedown. Well it works in reverse, too.
How about setting up takedowns to mix up strikes?
All you have to do is watch Diego Sanchez vs. Martin Kampmann to see how ineffective a poorly set up takedown is, or watch Kenny Florian and BJ Penn to see how ineffective clinching is when you do not use it to set anything else up.
Bottom line: Use skills to bring out other skills. Do not get comfortable relying on a single tool when you have an entire toolbox at your expense.
But believe me, it's easier said than done.
There has been sharp focus put on the spinning back elbow that Jon Jones has thrown in plenty of his fights. On the flip side, his flashiness is the focus of criticism, with people speculating that strikes like that will lead to a Mike Thomas Brown/Urijah Faber type of conclusion.
There is just one problem with that. Jones sets it up.
Unlike the strike that Urijah Faber used, Jones does not just throw it on a whim while being pressed up on the cage with no way out.
You can see when Urijah throws the strike there is nothing setting it up, no distracting Brown with any feints or usage of any sort of footwork or body movement. Brown was able to see it coming with ease. Something as subtle as a feint of the elbow might have broken Brown's focus. For example, if he threw a head kick immediately after the feint there is a good chance it either lands or they separate with no damage to either guy.
But here is the reason "Bones" gets away with such a reckless looking strike.
You can see the similarities between both .gifs, however the one difference is their purpose. When he faced Gusmao, Jones was a relatively unknown fighter and looking to his old fights you can see easily that he is a young, explosive and powerful fighter.
In the Gusmao .gif (on the left) you can see that Bones is pressing forward and Gusmao has his hands very high defending. Bones changes levels and puts his arm down as if he was to reach for a single leg, which is where his considerable reach becomes a distinct advantage.
Being able to reach so far with his arms without committing momentum and weight to a takedown makes the feint that much more effective. He reaches down and Gusmao begins to sprawl to defend the single leg, Bones immediately uses that momentum to plant his lead foot and begins to spin his body to deliver his "over the top" spinning elbow.
In the .gif with Jake O'Brien (on the right) he uses this set up just slightly different. O'Brien is standing nearly straight up in a very bad stance and Bones again feints the single leg. Since O'Brien is out of position he immediately panics into defending the single and drops his hands completely. And just like the Gusmao clip, Jones comes over the top and wobbles O'Brien.
This elbow is so dangerous for a number of reasons. First, it has alot of momentum behind it, which makes the strike very powerful. Secondly, it lands often times in bad places like the forehead or temple. It can not only cut opponents, but can also ruin their equilibrium and send them off balance.
Before anyone says it was an illegal strike, save it. We have heard it before. In this clip Jones absolutely crushes Stephan Bonnar to the canvas with the momentum of the elbow alone. Bonnar was able to survive, but consider him lucky after hitting the canvas so hard.
Jones is able to land this after he catches a Bonnar low kick, he has Bonnar balancing on one leg and hopping while also changing levels to duck a strike. He lands the elbow on the ducking Bonnar's head and sends him straight to the mat head first.
Am I saying Jones will land this clean on Rua? No, I am not. But the unique strikes and set ups are far from just flashy ... they are effective.
Having a striking coach like Mike Winklejohn is similar to having Duke Roufus in that he is not afraid to go against the norm in teaching unorthodox strikes, but with well thought out set ups.

Cooperative Education Programs
The five-year Cooperative Education Programs for majors in history, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science, offer the student an opportunity to gain valuable professional experience as part of an academic program. In addition, the student acquires a source of income to help finance college expenses. For more information, see the Office of Counseling and Career Services.
Internships and Travel-Study Opportunities
The department offers, through several credit courses in history, opportunities for students to apply their knowledge to practical work, travel or research experiences in their field of study. These courses have special prerequisites which must be met and can only be taken with departmental approval. Some internships or research experiences may offer pay or stipends. Students enrolling in travel study may be eligible for a departmental stipend to pay part of the expenses. The amount of academic credit offered in a course will vary.
History (2910-BA, 2910BS)
B.A. or B.S. Curriculum.

|Sociology 304 or 495
C. Travel-Study (6 hours minimum-12 hours maximum)
Majors must participate in a travel-study program in a foreign country so that the student may draw upon unique
cultural and intellectual resources in the host country(ies) which will extend subject matter competence and develop
language proficiency. A sensitivity to other cultures, together with a new perspective on the American culture,
will contribute to the development of particular career interests.
Although students may participate in any approved study abroad program, we strongly recommend that students take advantage of the many foreign-study opportunities available at UT Martin which involve a summer, one semester, or a year. There are travel-study programs developed each year by the departments of Geology, Geography and Physics (Geography 441 and 442); Modern Foreign Language (French/German/Spanish 360 and 370); and History and Philosophy (History 468); and Management, Marketing and Political Science (Political Science 467). The Office of International Programs coordinates student exchanges with Hirosaki University. Also, the Office of International Programs is involved in the Cooperative Center for Study in Britain.
D. Foreign Language Minor (12 upper-division hours)
Students must minor in French, German or Spanish. International students and resident aliens for whom it is determined that English is a second language may minor in English. A minor consists of at least 12 hours numbered 300 or above, plus any prerequisite courses. Students may wish to receive a certificate of proficiency which requires 15 hours. It is highly recommended that students take an additional year of a second foreign language.
Philosophy Major (2940)
B.A. Curriculum. A major consists of 30 hours to include: Philosophy 160, 210, 314, and 315, and eighteen (18) additional hours of upper-division philosophy courses. Majors must also assemble a portfolio, under the supervision of a philosophy faculty member. The portfolio should include one paper on the history of philosophy, one on ethics, and a third paper on an elected area or topic. Papers must indicate an ability to anticipate objections to a position or thesis, and demonstrate other features of the capacity for philosophical argument, as well as a familiarity with relevant literature, and they must be properly formatted. Normally each paper should be ca. 3000 words. Other indications of philosophical competence may be included in the portfolio, such as evidence of outstanding performance on essay exams. Majors must also take a senior exit exam. The philosophy elective courses are to be selected in terms of the student's educational and career goals and with the approval of an advisor in philosophy. Philosophy 110-120 are prerequisites to the major and may be used to meet general education requirements for the B.A.
Philosophy Major and Religious Studies Concentration
Through their curricular and extracurricular programs, the Philosophy and Religious Studies faculty introduce
the student to a wide variety of influential philosophical and religious concerns and styles of inquiry in both
Western and non-Western thought. Students are assisted in thinking critically and creatively about human existence,
meaning, and the nature of reality, and can acquire increased capacity for logical analysis, appreciation of values,
deepened self-knowledge, and an understanding and enjoyment of diverse ideas and systems.
The habits of mind developed through studies in philosophy or religion have ready applications in many different fields. They are of special value for those preparing for careers in law, public and governmental service, ministry, psychology, education, and writing. Persons educated in philosophy have been employed as technical consultants by computer firms, as consultants in business ethics by corporations, and as experts on biomedical ethics by hospitals and medical schools. A large variety of employment is available within the religious communities for those with expertise in religious studies and philosophy.
In addition, persons educated in philosophy and religious studies are well prepared for graduate training in philosophy and religion and for other types of graduate and professional studies. Impressive statistical data indicate that students with undergraduate majors in philosophy or their equivalents score higher in both the verbal and quantitative parts of the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) and in Law School (LSAT), Business School (GMAT), and Medical School Admissions tests than do students with other undergraduate majors (Economist; Medical School Admission Requirements; American Philosophical Association Proceedings).
Studies in philosophy and religion are also essential for seminary education in many cases. A Pre-Theological Advising Program is available for those persons who wish to pursue religious vocations and advanced seminary and theological education.
African-American Studies. The minor consists of the following courses: Philosophy 130, Philosophy 440
and 12 hours selected from Sociology 304, Political Science 479, Social Work 220, English 345, History 434, and
History 435.
History. History 121-122 (or History 121H-122H) or History 201-202 are prerequisites to the minor which consists of 12 hours of upper-division history. The combined total of coursework applied to the minor from the following categories of special courses may not exceed six hours and no more than three hours may be applied from any single category: Special Topics, Travel-Study, Internships, Independent Study and Undergraduate Research courses.
International Studies. The minor consists of 18 hours of upper-division courses. Students are required to take History 485 plus one course from five of the following: Agriculture 295; Economics 321, 322, 333; Geography 381; French 311, 321, 381, 382; German 321, 381, 382; History 343, 432, 448, 482; Political Science 321, 322, 341; Religious Studies 301; Spanish 321, 322, 381, 382, 385, 386.
Philosophy. The minor consists of the following courses: Philosophy 110-120 and an additional 12 hours of philosophy, at least nine hours of which must be courses numbered 300 or above.
Religious Studies. The minor consists of the following courses: Religious Studies 201 and 15 hours of upper-division religious studies courses.
Pre-Theological Program
The Pre-Theological Program is a recommended cluster of disciplines which provides a foundation for future theological
studies and professions. The program does not represent theological studies, but it does serve as a foundation
for such studies. The Association of Theological Schools (the accrediting agency for Schools of Theology) recommends
that a pre-theology student develop some in-depth understanding of human selfhood and existence, modern social
institutions and problems, culture and religion, science and technology, the processes of understanding, the content
and interpretation of Scripture, the history of the religious tradition, constructive theological methodology and
interpretation, and language. The Pre-Theological Program develops such understanding by coordinating four Areas
of Studies: 1) Value Studies - Philosophy, Religious Studies, English, and Art; 2) Contemporary Life
Studies - Psychology, Sociology, Social Work, Anthropology, Geography, and Political Science; 3) Historical
Studies - History; and 4) Language and Communication Studies - Speech, English, Journalism, Broadcasting,
Theatre, French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese.
The Pre-Theology Program has four requirements: 1) the fulfillment of the basic requirements for a B.A. or B.S., 2) the fulfillment of the general education requirements for a major which is to be selected from the disciplines listed in the four Areas of Study, 3) the fulfillment of the requirements for a minor which is to be selected from the four Areas of Study, and 4) the completion of a minimum of 18 hours of approved electives of which 12 must be upper-division. All four areas of study must be represented in the selection of a major, a minor, and electives. A minimum of six elective hours is required in each Area of Study not covered by the major and the minor. A list of approved electives is available from the advisor. The major, the minor, and the electives will be specified on the basis of the recommendations by the Association of Theological Schools and the academic and professional needs of the student as determined by consultation with an advisor in the Department of History and Philosophy.

Description of Courses

Ladies and Gents. This is not a rosterbation thread. I really want to see what you would do with the 23rd pick in the draft. I want this to be a little different as well.
If you want to stay with the 23rd pick, who would you take and why?
Or perhaps there is a name falling down draft boards. Would you try to trade the pick to move up or down and why?
You may give multiple scenarios as well.
Please hit the rec button for someone's pick/trade that you really like. Let's greenlight the popular scenarios.

Conventional wisdom has said for years that the MLB draft is essentially a crapshoot. There are too many variables, and scouting is so inexact, that there is no way that any one team can be consistently successful.
Also, as a lifelong A's fan, I've always thought there were a lot of former A's farmhands playing for other teams, and I've thought that meant that Billy Beane really is better at drafting than others.
So, with all that in mind, and the fact that my company "displaced" me (read that as laid me off) last week, I spent some of my free time living off my my severance package looking through the draft records, etc. to try and de-mistify the draft process.
I used the USA Today roster of 2008 salaries, and then used The Baseball Cube (baseballcube.com) and compiled a list of who was drafted by which team and also what round they were drafted.
So, is it really true that the draft is a crapshoot, or are some of the team professional gamblers while others haven't even purchased their copy of Craps For Dummies?
Here is some of the information I came up with.
Of the 854 players listed on the USA Today roster of salaries, I looked at how many players were either drafted by a team, or signed as a free agent (either undrafted or foreign free agents). If it were evenly spread out, and essentially random each team would end up with 28-29 players.
There are obvious things that will skew the numbers…compensation picks, the ability to sign as many/as few free agents as your budget allows, etc. But in general, it does seem that some teams are more successful at drafting than others. It would be interesting to compare scouting budgets to these numbers, but I couldn't find them.
Here is how it breaks down…
36 players - Arizona
33 players – Atlanta
20 players - Baltimore
27 players - Boston
33 players – Chicago Cubs
25 players – Chicago White Sox
18 players - Cincinnati
30 players - Cleveland
32 players - Colorado
32 players – Detroit
27 players - Florida
28 players - Houston
27 players – Kansas City
30 players – LA Angels
41 players – LA Dodgers
19 players - Milwaukee
28 players - Minnesota
29 players – New York Mets
30 players – New York Yankees
36 players – Oakland
27 players – Philadelphia
32 players – Pittsburgh
29 players – San Francisco
13 players – San Diego
37 players - Seattle
22 players – St. Louis
26 players – Tampa Bay
26 players - Texas
35 players - Toronto
26 players – Washington/Montreal
In looking at the breakdown, it would appear that the Dodgers, Seattle, Oakland, Arizona, and Toronto must be on to something, while San Diego, Cincinnati, and Milwaukee, and Baltimore are just ON something.
The Dodgers, Yankees, and Tigers seem to have been the most successful (and maybe most active) at signing Free Agents, with most of them being foreign drafts.
While I was at it, I also looked at where in the draft the players were picked to see if it really matters when you get drafted. Here's the breakdown on that information:
222 (26%) - Free Agent (both undrafted and foreign)

Salty language!
Submitted by pale on Thu, 01/31/2013 - 14:47.
In my latest health odyssey (Trip thru the medical purgatory of hospital incompetence) I have had lots of time to perseverate on my diet and other things.
I am now on a lower salt diet in an attempt to lower the ol' BP even more. I find the BP meds pretty crappy. There is a side effect for everything. It's like making a wish, there is a good and bad.
So, My own tips for navigating this new world:
Cheese is a big no no. Swiss is ok in moderation, it's the lowest in sodium.
I found low salt potato chips, not bad. I don't eat massive amounts anyway, just a handful every few days. It fills the salt/treat void.
Soy sauce is deadly for sodium, so that's off my list. Using low sodium soup stock now in place of a lot of salt stuff. I made chow mien the other day, no soy sauce.
Peanut butter and onions. Yup, that is the current breakfast food in my life. I get the all natural peanut butter. No added salt, sugar or fat. On homemade bread, toasted.
I make my own bread anyway, so I am now doing that with 1/4 of the salt. I found the trick was to use less yeast, and then let the bread rise slower. 2% sodium (DV) per serving vs 14%.
I had french fries and a burger one day when I went out. I asked for no salt on the fries, (which forced them to cook fresh ones) and no cheese or pickles on the burger. That drops the sodium to a do-able level.
No salt tortilla chips with homemade guacamole. Not bad. Add some extra cumin and lime juice.
Told everyone in the house to feel free to add their own salt, but no one seems to be doing that. They are adapting to my diet mostly.
No added salt canned tomatoes and paste. Really helps with the sodium levels in soups and stews.
Mrs Dash is evil, noxious and toxic tasting. Avoid at all costs. It will turn you off food.
My diet is further restricted because I am on Rat poison, AKA Warfarin. (Thanks to the careless rocket scientists at the hospital I have a great big ol' DVT to deal with. Assholes.) So I have to be careful with green leafy veggies and stuff......
ATM, my sodium is about 1500-2000 mg a day. My BP dropped 10- 20 points on its own. Viola!

There's theatrical fun for all the family when Alan Bennett's modern adaptation of The Wind in the Willows comes to Potters Bar.
Follow the loveable Toad and see how his run-in with the law leads to court, gaol and a dramatic escape and chase. It all takes place against the backdrop of the changing seasons, with the gangster-like weasels and stoats trying to turn his estate into their next property venture.

7Love It or Leave It: Lindsay as Elizabeth Taylor!
On Friday, we got to see those adorable photos of Lindsay Lohan on the set of Liz and Dick. It's been a couple days, but if you'll remember, she was wearing fancy earrings on a smoke break, and her newly cut and dyed hair was up and pinned. It was a sight to see for sure, and I'm not even going to try to describe it any more accurately than Sarah did when she said that Lindsay looked like Elizabeth Taylor's "gawky, toothy older sister."
But today, as you can see, we have a photo of Lindsay in costume, in full hair and makeup, and yes, still with a cigarette. This is exactly what is going to star in that budget Lifetime mess. So what do we think?
There's something different about her face, I think, but I can't quite figure it out. Are her lips a little smaller, or is that just wishful thinking? It's probably the dark hair and the darker, thicker eyebrows, right? I always seem to forget how much eyebrows can transform someone's face, even though I shaved mine off one time in high school to do Ziggy Stardust makeup.
Oh, but TMZ was kind enough to go ahead and make a comparison photo, so you can judge Lindsay's Liz Taylor more accurately:
It's not as bad as I thought it would be, I'll say that much. But I am sad that Lindsay's not a redhead anymore. Didn't that seem like the biggest sign that she was getting her life back together, that red hair? It just seems like a terrible sign of things to come, and it concerns me.
But regardless, this whole thing is going on as planned. Filming starts this week, can you believe it? And then it will be just a few short months until we get to see the movie. Are we really ready for this?

Nope nope nope! Why wasnt Camilla Belle cast?
EPIC FAIL. the creators of this shitshow must be smoking bath salts…
She looks like Lindsey Lohan trying to look like Liz Taylor and not succeeding. It's kind of sad, really. Lohan is such a terrible actress and confused person.
Looks like someone playing dress up but I don't get Elizabeth Taylor out of this picture. Knowing the voice that will be coming out of her mouth, I can't picture Taylor no matter how much you make her up.
She looks okay for once like she bathed but she looks not a tiny bit like Elizabeth Taylor! nada! zip! no way!
It was a mistake casting this girl as Elizabeth Taylor. What a disgrace….Hollywood is crazy as hell and furthermore, this broad should be locked up somewhere…smh.

Old Dominion University employees have between April 1 and May 1 to make health benefits plan and membership changes during open enrollment. Changes will be effective July 1.
Employees may enroll in another health care plan, enroll for the first time, add or remove dependents, or leave coverage as is.
EmployeeDirect, the commonwealth of Virginia's new health benefits and information system, will be available during open enrollment as an alternative to completing the Enrollment/Waiver form. To access EmployeeDirect on the Web, visit www.dhrm.state.va.us/hbenefit.htm
The Office of Human Resources wants to remind faculty and staff that this open enrollment period replaces the floating enrollment period formerly in place. The last day to exercise a floating enrollment option will be May 15 for an effective date of June 1.
Open enrollment will occur once each year for plan and membership changes.

Mark Sanchez has been perhaps the NFL's most examined quarterback over the last 16 months. He's not passing whatever test he's taking today, at least not so far.
Sanchez drove the Jets into the red zone, then overthrew receivers on three consecutive passes, the last turning into a Justin Tryon interception that erased the Jets' best chance to score in the first half at Lucas Oil Field.
The Colts didn't capitalize on the drive — the team called one run and a hysterical "sack" of Manning that involved him curling up in the fetal position as his pocket collapsed couldn't help them move the ball — but a 7-0 lead seems pretty big when the other quarterback is playing as poorly as Sanchez is.
The bright spot for the Jets through the first half has to be LaDainian Tomlinson. One of the Jets' many big offseason pickups, Tomlinson has been excellent so far, with seven carries for 49 yards and three catches for eight yards.

Edwin Encarnacion hits moonshot off Jon Lester
Toronto Blue Jays slugger Edwin Encarnacion had hit 47 home runs at the Rogers Centre before Tuesday, but he never hit any quite like this one.
With the Jays leading the Boston Red Sox 4-3 in the bottom of the fifth inning, Encarnacion hit an absolute moonshot off of Jon Lester that landed in the fifth deck in left field. He's only the 14th player ever to hit one into the 500 level at Rogers Centre.

I've been on vacation over the Christmas break so I've just now gotten to the Dolphins and Pats games. I won't do my usual breakdown, given that the games are a week or more in the past; plus I somehow only managed to record the first half of the Pats game. There were a couple of things that stood out.
I'd be surprised if we see Geoff Hangartner at center again unless Eric Wood suffers an injury. He's averaged 77.6% on run plays the past three weeks compared to Hang's 75.4% season average. Wood has averaged 74.9% on pass plays the past three weeks compared to Hang's 74.7% season average. Chan Gailey has talked about getting more physical on the offensive line. Wood has been left one-on-one with NTs even more often than Hang was, which has freed the guards to take on other defenders. This has helped the line as a whole take it to defensive front sevens.
The jury is still out on Chad Reinhart. Initial signs have been positive. He's averaged 77.3% on run plays and 75% on pass plays. In the past two and a half games he's killed just 2 plays. He has a knack for finishing defenders on run plays. On passing downs, whether it's just his inclination or something he's been told to do, he looks around for a defender; if none comes his way he plows into Mansfield Wrotto's defender--often bailing Wrotto out and putting the defender on the ground. Buffalo would be foolish to let him get away given the potential he's flashed.
Looking long term, Wood and Levitre are entrenched starters. There's a good chance that Reinhart remains the starter at right guard. Buffalo will likely keep no more than two interior reserves. Urbik and Hang figure to be those two guys. Demetrius Bell will almost certianly remain on the roster and might start simply by default. Right tackle is still unsettled, to put it mildly. My guess is that Buffalo will keep 3 dedicated OTs with Levitre as a swing tackle emergency reserve. Ed Wang did nothing in 2010, which might prove to his advantage; he didn't have the opportunity to screw anything up. I am hopeful, despite a quote by Buddy Nix that Buffalo needs 'more weapons', that the Bills will expend at least one high draft pick on an OT. Being a cynic, I won't be at all surprised if the OT is picked in the 3rd round or so and projected to be the opening day starter at.....right tackle.
LT: Bell, Wang
LG: Levitre, Urbik
C: Wood, Hang
RG: Reinhart, Hang
RT: draft pick, Wang
I heard Chan Gailey talking about the decision to abandon the run against the Patriots after the first drive. He said something to the effect that the Patriots changed their defensive look to stop the run. Granted, I only had the first half of the game to look at....a first half in which Buffalo ran the ball a dozen times and never for less than 2 yards and averaged an astounding 7.0 yards per carry. Okay, there was a 27 yard anomoly to begin the game. Drop that from the mix and the Bills ran for 5.2 yards per carry. If that's what Buffalo's run game looks like when the defense is trying to stop the run then the Bills clearly needed to run more, not less. And, at that point of the game, score didn't dictate a pass happy offense. Gailey made the decision to abandon the run when down by just 4 points--not because of score, ineffectiveness or down/distance. He's got to stick with the run even though it goes against his nature.

Thanks for the great list! I am searching for a good tool to sync my files. Do you have a favourite?
I think dropbox is the best with "Dropbox folder Sync" So my Folders remain where there are on my machines and also get synced
Good list but you could also have Sugarsync on there, as that is an app I use to share files with other people plus sync data across PCs. Free version has 2Gb of space too.

Dropbox is the best! esp with the iphone app! It reads PDFs (even large ones) flawlessly, and its free!
My favorite app to sync my files from my Iphone to my account is 4shared app. It is free and very simple in use. Just in a few clicks I can sync my files on the go. I also like the space of the account – 15 GB for free it's cool! I enjoy it a lot.
Don't forget the Livedrive app. Livedrive offers unlimited online storage and using the Livedrive app you can stream music, videos, do picture slide shows and view and edit documents all from your stored files online without them having to be saved on your iPhone.
Livedrive Team
There is a new software that has a free version for consumers (not free for business use) which automatically synchronizes with Google Docs and documents can be edited offline with MS Office or Open Office. It is also a complete document management tool for the PC.
Take a look at http://www.busydocs.com
SpiderOak is too cryptic. I set it up on two computers, using the same account, but there was no obvious way to address the second machine. It would only let me use "Sync" if I first uploaded from the SECOND machine. Dropbox is much more fluid.
Interesting post but what about 4shared? As for me it is the best file sharing service. You didn't add it to list even :))
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Business only wants open PO / PR line items to be carried-forward for follow-on processes. Adding a complete new line item to a carried-forward PO/PR is not allowed. I can not find a BAPI that serves this purpose. Can anybody suggest a solution?
Thanks in advance.
I just saw your posting. There is a field CFLEV flag in the line item table that could be considered as your option in the User Exit. We've done similar for Navy and DWR. I don't remember how related it would be to your question until I see more details from you.
I do need to know the exact end-to-end process scenario of what you are trying to accomplish and if this is a commodity type of PO or regular, and to check on this flag or other suitable routine available.
email deleted
Best Regards to all of you at the office!
Hello Alexandra,
Thanks for your reply.
What we wanted was trying to prevent users from adding a brand new line in an existing PO if a PO has been carried forward. As always, I was trying to avoid using user exit. But, since I could not find any other method, I finally had Martin create a user exit and it works fine.
Thanks and regards,
Thanks Ming for these additional details.
Yes, I've created a User Exit validation in the past to validate that flag for items that were carried forward (presuming that configuration for the carry-forward flag is turned on). The solution should be also available in service marketplace OSS notes.
That is one of the options that Martin now has in place for you. Just make sure that you test every scenario and integration with other applications and scenarios.
Cheers to you and Martin!
Best Regards,
Hi Alexandra
Could please elaborate on this. (presuming that configuration for the carry-forward flag is turned on). Means you are talking about closing operations 'cmmt carry forward allowed check box' or some other?.
Also please provide the detailed information on this validaiton? Is there any separate user exit, and how to restrict users by using this validation?
Waiting for your inputs please.
Thank you for asking for additional details.
The generic example and reference was related to the CFLEV flag validation for those FI-FM and MM GR/IR related table records and business processes, as a good place to start looking for configuration requirements and User Exits with add-on logic for specific Carry Forward requirements (prior year or multi-year budget tracking).
In the past releases of SAP, we were using the composite note and its relevant notes that could be obtained from: Note 427546 - Important notes for FI-FM and PSM-FM.
However, with our latest releases, this note is now updated with the following "detour" to our new site updates (it is important to read both history of prior releases and current releases):
"Caution: This note is no longer updated! If you want to be informed regularly about current notes, please use the "TopNotes" function in the SAP Service Marketplace at " http://service.sap.com/notes.
Therefore, please review the relevant notes to understand the history of the development as well as the most recent updates.
Once all the notes are taken into consideration you would be able to proceed with your system discovery and the next phase approach which could result in the system upgrade or the extentions and exits created.
If you would require additional consulting services, I would be happy to assist you.
Thank you.
Kind Regards,
Hi Alexandra
Thanks for the detailed information and now I understood....
Great Rao, good luck to your team!
Best Regards,

Make sure you check the syllabus for the due date.
Hand written digit recognition. Training data, labels. Testing data, labels.
A) Run an SVM implementation by training over the training set and testing over
the testing set. Try several kernels, including the polynomial and the RBF
ones. Report the results. Use one of these packages: SVMlight, osu SVM, LIBSVM or other
software (here, here). If you
choose an SVM packge that does not provide multi-class implementations, you
should write a wrapper that will make the code run for each class versus the
others, separately.
This problem have been well researched, and there is a comprehensive archive of results here; take a look at the several SVM papers listed before you start working on it. Data is in the IDX format, described on the same page; you will have to write your own code to read the data, or to find some code that does just that.
B) Same as problem 1. Instead of using a SVM package, implement your own. You do not have to implement the quadratic solver. Report your findings and prepare a 5 minutes demo.
Same data as in problem 1. Use a neural network to make the classification. You can perhaps adapt the code from hw2.
The repository page points to many NN approaches; you should do a bit of research first. Report findings and be ready to give a short demo of your code.
Explain why 0 is a constraint in the dual optimization with slack variables. (HINT: read Chris Burges tutorial first) Distinguish three cases, and explain them in terms of the classification and constraints: a) 0 ; b) 0 ; c)
Consider the following 6 points in 2D, for two classes:
class 0: (1,1) (2,2) (2,0)
class 1: (0,0) (1,0) (0,1)
a) Plot these 6 points, construct the optimal hyperplane by inspection and intuition (give the W,b) and calculate the margin.
b) Which points are support vectors ?
c) Construct the hyperplane by solving the dual optimization problem using the Lagrangian. Compare with part (a).
Prove of the harmonic functions property discussed in class based on this paper. Specifically, prove that to minimize the energy function
