ST. FRANCISVILLE, La. (AP) - The West Feliciana Parish School Board cancelled Superintendent Hollis G. Milton's two-year contract and gave him a new four-year deal to lead the school system.
Although the vote during Tuesday's meeting was unanimous, some board members were critical of the way it was presented.
Board Vice President Sara Wilson-Rogers said she was unaware that board President Kevin Beauchamp and Milton were negotiating a new contract.
Beauchamp apologized for the way in which he presented the contract - in the meeting packets sent out last week - but said he asked board members to call him if they had questions about the contract terms.
The Advocate reports the board hired Milton from the East Baton Rouge Parish system in April 2010.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My son attended TAG for 1.5 years. When Mr Meehan and Mr Roll left, my son followed Mr Meehan to his new school - Tucson International Academy. The performance of a school is vested in it's teachers, and when Mr Meehan and Mr Roll left, TAG lost everything that they had to offer my son. Mr Meehan is now the principal at the TIA East Campus and we are very happy with our decision to have our son follow Mr Meehan there.
I have been less than impressed with this school this year. They are not very organized and do not communicate well with the parents. I should be careful and say that that has been my experience with our son's teacher in particular, but there are not very many events with teachers, parents and students. I like to be more involved in my child's schooling, but they have not made it easy to do this. My son will not be returning next year - whether it is closing or not.
This school is closing and changing ownership and all should know this. The principal could not come up and presented vision and set of goals for the school and backed out of renewing the charter. All parents should know this and plan to send students elsewhere.
Overall, the experience at TAG was enjoyable. The prinicpal was amazing. Anytime I had an issues he took care of it right away! My daughter was in 6th grade and extremely shy! I felt like her needs were being met for the most part by her teachers. She liked both of her teachers and that is a big thing for me as a parent! If our family was not relocating we absolutely would have allowed her to attend there again!
I am very happy with the school. Whenever there is an issue or problem, it is resolved immediately. It has very caring teachers: love Ms. Svitlana since Kinder, and Ms. Beck's yoga classes for the 1st graders. I wish she would offer yoga to the whole school! My son still enjoys yoga.
My daughter started Kinder this year at TAG. At first i was worried with all the money i had to spend for the supplies. HOWEVER, since then i have been nothing but impressed with the school. I love Mrs. Svitlana and Mrs. Carrie!! My daughter is reading and learning Spanish! The only thing i would change about the school is that i wish it had a bus system. I drive 30 mins one way to TAG each school day..
Our family relocated to Tucson from NY where my daughter attended private school her whole life. At TAG I feel like I'm getting a private school education for 100% off! The classes are smaller and she gets the one to one attention all students deserve. She is receiving 6th grade work ( she's in the 5th grade) and is performing on an A level. The days are long but a three day weekend more than makes up for that. I guess Mr Roll and Mr Meehan are the rock stars of TAG because surprise surprise.. They're her favorite teachers as well.
I really enjoy working at TAG as a Middle School Teacher. Our staff is very supportive of each other and ready and willing to go the extra mile to make sure our kids are successful. Our teachers look after all the students in the school, not just their own. We are a small school, but in 2011 about 1/3 of our graduating eighth grade class made it into one of the top schools in Arizona (namely, UHS or Basis). Those schools require students to take competency tests in a variety of subject matters and the vast majority of students don t make it in. All of our students are required to take Spanish and our 7th and 8th graders are also required to take Mandarin Chinese. We have a very active soccer program and our middle schoolers have a Yearbook and a Drama and Video Club. Our middle school curriculum is challenging enough for the brightest students. The average 7th grader takes Algebra I and we go up to Algebra II. I also have the pleasure of taking our students out of state every year to Catalina Island for a Marine Biology field trip. Working at TAG is a lot of fun and I strongly recommend the school to students and parents.
I have gone to this school for 3 and a half years, and it is the best school I have gone to. It has great teachers(Mr.Roll and Mr.Meehan being my favorite) and has a very good performance, no matter if it is the AIMS or just a simple quiz. I've seen this school given a bad review by some kids who really need to understand that a good school doesn't let you do whatever you want. A good school is a school that gives a pupil an Education, Discipline, and enough time to relax while staying in the game. And I'm happy to say that TAG meets that standard. The 7/8th Class Math is very advanced, but it is well explained by Mr.Roll, our 7/8th grade Math teacher. Sincerely, Faruz
i hated this school a lot. very much grrrrrr........i Hate it! i went here for 4 years. dont come to this school. go to the tanque verde school district!!!!
I gave this school the best score because it gave my son the confidence he needed to become a better student and to believe in himself again after a 4th grade fiasco in public school. Mr. Meehan was the best teacher my son ever had. He still talks about him and remembers the good advice and the caring person that Mr. Meehan is. I loved the staff and would recommend this school with no reservations. Marie Brick
I love this school my daughter went there for kindergarten and has learned so much and you can see how grown up she is. The teachers are wonderful and always making sure the parents are updated on everything that is going on in the school and classroom!
my granddaughter was enrolled in the Kindergarten program this fall(2008). she has grown in confidence, shown great advancement under her teacher's loving hand and become a very productive student..We love TAG!
The teachers and administration are extremely attentive to the students needs. They have small class rooms, afterschool activities and a personalbe friendly environment. The teachers are certified and great at transitioning knowledge through exercises, activities and of course homework.
The teachers and staff are great. Small enough for everyone to know your children. My daughter loves the school. Most of the parents have good things to say about Tag. Tag has an after school program, and sports.
This school has been wonderful for my girl who was bullied at the Academy of Tucson. The smaller classes (there were 10? in her class), the dress code enforcement, Mr. Curtis, Mr. Meehan and the staff are wonderful. Thank you TAG for making our daughter feel safe. She was a flower blossoming in your school.
We have finished up our 4th year at Tag. My 3 kids have done extremely well. I just want to thank all the staff and teachers that worked so hard for our children, my kids love to go to school! Again thanks to Mr. Meehan for all his hard work as principal this year, we look forward to seeing you all in August. The Weneck Family!
This year, there is a principal who is dealing with issues, and that has improved things greatly . We have been pleased with the teacher quality, And, it's true there are only very few playground equipment and sports/PE accessories/programs. The elective classes are also very understaffed or minimal, depending on the grade. But the dress code has been enforced (or actually thought up) this year and that has been a good change for the upper grades. Overall, I'm pleased with my daughter's progress. Things have definitely headed in the right direction this year.
I moved my son from a public school to tag this year. I really love this school. The days are longer for the kids which is great for it gives the teachers more time to work on what is important that kids need to know to be sucessful in their years to come. my son is in the 4th grade and goes to school from 7:30am to 3pm and as they get older the day is longer and they go up until the 8th grade. I will leave my son at this school and he will be way beyond most students going into high school. I really like how the focus on math reading and writing. The principal is very easy to talk to about anything as well as the teachers. My son is much happier at tag as well as myself and my husband. Thank-you Tag...keep up the good work.charmagne
The teachers are exceeding the level of education that our children require. So TAG doesn't have sports or music, so what? If I had to choose between TAG, a school that provides my child with a top notch education, or a random public school, that had a sports program, I'm going with TAG every time! Keep up the good work TAG!

Playtime for 5-year old Kennedy Erickson involves miniature horses today, but three weeks ago a $2 toy, the Yo Yo Water Ball, almost cost her her life.
Her dad, Bill Erickson, says, "I walked into the room, and she had it around her neck and was just frantic. I reached in and grabbed it and broke it off her neck. Once it wrapped around four or five times you couldn't unwrap it, so I had to get in there and break it off."
"It actually looked like there were strangulation marks, indentations, and actually lacerations on her neck," tells Kari Anderson, Kennedy's mom.
That family is not alone, more than 400 similar injuries have been reported, but after an investigation by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, they decided the risk this toy presents does not meet criteria for a recall.
Jennifer Giegerich is the State Director of Wisconsin Public Interest Research Group. She says, "there is no reason not to recall this toy, and the fact that it can be found on the toy store shelves, parents naturally assume that that is a safe toy."
Some of the safety concerns come from reports that show the small circle meant to fit a finger has in the past stretched snuggly around a child's neck. Also an investigation shows the toy can quickly catch fire, but the most common complaint is children swinging it around their head like a lasso. That's what Kennedy did and with in moments the elastic rope cut off her air supply.
Her mom says, "we are very lucky. I am so grateful that my husband was right there, but you feel that if you are able to purchase this toy your children are going to be safe."
A 5-year old in Illinois was nearly strangled by a yo yo ball, and now a bill banning the toy just needs the Governor's approval. Here in Wisconsin, Consumer Protection wants people with complaints about this toy to let them know. Call Consumer Protection at 1-800-422-7128.

Is the Birth Control shot right for me?
All of us who need birth control want to find the method that is best for us. And every woman has different needs when choosing a method. If you're thinking about starting the birth control shot, you're using the shot, you're a concerned partner, or you're just someone who's curious about it, you may have many questions. Here are some of the most common questions we hear women ask about the birth control shot. We hope the answers help you decide if it is right for you.
What Is the Birth Control Shot?
The birth control shot is an injection of a hormone that prevents pregnancy. Each shot prevents pregnancy for three months. The shot is also known by the brand name Depo-Provera, or by the name of the medicine in the shot, DMPA.
How Does the Birth Control Shot Work?
Like other methods of birth control, the birth control shot releases a hormone — progestin — into the body. Hormones are chemicals made in our bodies. They control how different parts of our bodies work.
The progestin in the shot works by keeping a woman's ovaries from releasing eggs — ovulation. Pregnancy cannot happen if there is no egg to join with sperm. The progestin in the shot also prevents pregnancy by thickening a woman's cervical mucus. The mucus blocks sperm and keeps it from joining with an egg.
Some people say that the birth control shot works by keeping a fertilized egg from attaching to the lining of the uterus. But there is no proof that this actually happens.
How Effective Is the Birth Control Shot?
Effectiveness is an important and common concern when choosing a birth control method. The birth control shot is one of the most effective methods of birth control available. It works best when you get the birth control shot regularly, every 12 weeks.
- Less than 1 out of 100 women will get pregnant each year if they always use the birth control shot as directed.
- About 3 out of 100 women will get pregnant each year if they don't always use the birth control shot as directed.
Keep in mind the birth control shot doesn't protect against sexually transmitted infections. Use a latex or female condom to reduce the risk of infection.
If you get the birth control shot within the first seven days after the start of your period, you are protected from pregnancy immediately. If you get the shot within five days after miscarriage or an abortion, or within three weeks after giving birth, you are protected from pregnancy immediately. Otherwise, you need to use some form of backup birth control — like a condom, female condom, diaphragm, sponge, or emergency contraception (morning after pill) — for the first week after getting the shot.
Each shot of Depo-Provera will protect you from pregnancy for 12 weeks. So you will need to go to your health care provider every 12 weeks for a shot. If you are two or more weeks late getting your shot, your health care provider may ask you to take a pregnancy test, or may advise you to use emergency contraception if you had vaginal intercourse in the previous 120 hours (five days).
How Safe Is the Birth Control Shot?
Most women can use the birth control shot safely. But all medications have some risks, so safety is a concern when choosing a birth control method. Certain conditions increase the risk of serious side effects.
You should not use the shot if you
- are taking medicine for Cushing's syndrome
- are pregnant or might be pregnant
- have or are suspected to have breast cancer
- have unexplained bleeding from the vagina
Talk with your health care provider about your health and whether the shot is likely to be safe for you.
There are many other methods of birth control that may be safe for you if you cannot use the shot. Read about other methods to find one that may be right for you.
What Are the Benefits of the Birth Control Shot?
- Using the birth control shot is safe, simple, and convenient.
- The shot provides very effective, long-lasting pregnancy protection.
- There is no daily pill to remember.
- There is nothing to do right before having sex.
- Some women say it improves their sex lives because it helps them feel more spontaneous.
- It is also a very private method of birth control — there is no packaging or other evidence that might be embarrassing for some people.
- The birth control shot does not contain estrogen, another type of hormone that is in many types of birth control, including the pill, patch, and ring. This means the shot can be a good choice for women who cannot take estrogen and for women who are breastfeeding.
- The shot can help prevent cancer of the lining of the uterus.
What Are the Disadvantages of the Birth Control Shot?
Many of us like to weigh the benefits against the risks of taking a medicine. Now that you're familiar with the benefits, let's look at the possible disadvantages.
Some women may have undesirable side effects while using the birth control shot. But many women adjust to it with few or no problems. Serious problems do not occur often.
Irregular bleeding is the most common side effect, especially in the first 6 to 12 months of use.
- For most women, periods become fewer and lighter. After one year, half of the women who use the birth control shot will stop having periods completely.
- Some women have longer, heavier periods.
- Some women have increased spotting and light bleeding between periods.
These side effects are completely normal. Some woman may worry that they are pregnant if they do not have a regular period. But when the birth control shot is used correctly, it is very effective. If you are concerned about a possible pregnancy, you can always take a pregnancy test.
There are also some less common side effects:
- change in sex drive
- change in appetite or weight gain
- depression
- hair loss or increased hair on the face or body
- headache
- nausea
- nervousness, dizziness
- a rash or darkening of the skin
- sore breasts
There is no way to stop the side effects of Depo-Provera — they may continue until the shot wears off, in 12 to 14 weeks.
It's important that you find a method that won't make you feel sick or uncomfortable. If the side effects from the birth control shot continue to bother you, talk with your health care provider.
Because the birth control shot is long lasting, it can take a long time to get pregnant after getting your last shot — anywhere from nine months to more than a year. So, Depo-Provera is not a good birth control method for you if you're thinking of getting pregnant soon.
Serious problems usually have warning signs. Report any of these signs to your health care provider immediately:
- a new lump in your breast
- major depression
- severe pain in the stomach or abdomen
- unusually heavy or prolonged vaginal bleeding
- yellowing of the skin or eyes
Although Depo-Provera is highly effective in preventing pregnancy, in the very rare cases where pregnancy does occur, it is more likely to be an ectopic pregnancy, which can be life threatening.
Women who use the birth control shot may experience a temporary thinning of their bones. Talk with your health care provider about the risks. You can help protect your bones by exercising regularly and getting extra calcium and vitamin D, either through the food you eat or from vitamin supplements.
How Do I Get the Birth Control Shot? How Much Does the Birth Control Shot Cost?
First, you'll need to get a prescription. Visit a Planned Parenthood health center, a clinic, or a private health care provider for a prescription. Your health care provider will discuss your medical history with you and give you any other medical exam that you may need. The health care provider will then give you an injection. You may have a temporary bruise.
If you need an exam, it may cost about $35 to $250. Each injection costs between $30 and $75, and each visit after the initial exam may cost between $20 and $40.
If you are more than two weeks late for your injection, you may need a pregnancy test before getting your shot. Pregnancy tests cost about $20.
Medicaid and private health insurance may cover Depo-Provera. Family planning clinics usually charge less than private health care providers.

I decided for my 21st birthday I was going to buy myself a handgun. After many searches, and a lot of influence from the forum, I decided I wanted the GSG 1911-22. So the next step was finding one in my area. I drove all over St. Louis looking for one, but nobody had it, and they never even had them in stock before. Then after many hours I decided I would stop at the place in the next town over as my last stop. They had one!! A new guy just took over the shop and I was telling him about my situation, and you know what he said? "You give me some money, and I'll set it aside" Now to most people that sounds like nothing special, but this guy is willing to hold the gun for me for 3.5 months!! I would say that's a rather nice thing he is doing for me considering he could easily sell that gun within the week. Just thought I would share my story for two reasons:
1. I'm too d@mn excited not to
2. There's still good shop owners out there who are willing to work with you.
Now I do have some questions for the people who do own the GSG already. What kind of ammo do they like? How much did you pay out the door for it?

While I can see a down payment of 10%, I would not give the asking price as a down payment.
A firearms auction site will provide some guidelines for price and availability. Is the new guy willing to do a transfer if you found one on the internet?

ive got one. every bulk pack i tried no ftf or fte on ammo that had enough powder charge. with some bulk pack you get about a 1 in 50 that is under charged and you can really tell when that happens. its prolly the least ammo picky 22lr along with my bersa thunder22 i have. i rank it higher than the buckmark and ruger for not caring what its eating.
i cant remember off hand but i think it was 369$ for the wood grip version.

The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things...
I've heard will eat just about anything. Does anybody know what parts are interchangeable, and which ones aren't?
interchangeable (colt parts are drop in):
sights are novak cut, sear, disconnector, sear spring, hammer, safety, safety plunger with spring, slidestop (would not recomend using steel or MIM harder than the slidestop it came with), mainspring housing and all it's internals, trigger, grips.
everything else is proprietary.
So just making sure I got it right, it would not be a problem to change the trigger, ambi thumb safety, and the slide stop? Why not use a slidestop harder than the original? Will it scratch away at the slide?
I am considering putting on a new trigger and thumb safety for cosmetic reasons, and I wanted an extended slide stop. This will be my one and only 1911 for quite some time, so I really want to make it to my liking. I am not worried about the quality of the parts already put in there, but I want to make sure upgrading won't hurt, and if it's possible.

Planes, Banes, and Automobiles
I've been mad at the airline industry for some time--so mad, in fact, that I prefer to drive whenever possible, no matter how much longer it takes to get there. I'd drive across the ocean if I could. My family says I'm a nut.
Now I'm mad at the oil industry. Gasoline prices jumped by nearly 13 cents a gallon over the past two weeks--one of the largest two-week price hikes in history. Some industry analysts say motorists could be paying as much as $2 a gallon or more this summer.
So the question for me now is which industry makes me angrier. I'm mad at the airline industry because the service is so bad: Planes are late, employees are surly, flights are cramped and uncomfortable. What's more, I believe the airlines give us peons poor service on purpose, to justify the high prices they charge the suckers who fly first class.
This infuriates me.
On the other hand, I suspect oil companies are gouging us at the pump each summer, knowing that Americans such as myself are hooked on gasoline the way drug addicts are hooked on heroin. OK, so they jack the price up to $2 a gallon or more. Think I'm going to stop driving? Like an addict, I'll drive until I run out of money. Then I'll simply pull over and work until I get enough cash for a couple of more gallons. My kids will go without milk before I park my car.
It was at about this time last year that I was sneering at the millions and millions of Americans who had bought sport-utility vehicles--those gas-guzzling road hogs that I dubbed "Swinemobiles." Swinemobiles were the hottest things on the auto market last year, outselling any other category of consumer vehicle. This year, though, after a decade of solid double-digit growth, SUV sales have slumped. Consumers are apparently getting hip to the fact that SUVs are neither very sporty nor particularly utilitarian.
Hold on, though. Consumers now seem attracted to something called "crossover -utility vehicles." This category includes such models as the the Toyota RAV4 and the Pontiac Aztec. A CUV is supposed to be like an SUV, except smaller, more fuel efficient, and more practical. If you believe this, you're a dumber swine than you look.
I hear such news and I shake my head and think, These are the dying days of the consumer movement. Try to take a stand against these industries and they'll break you like a reed; let them have their way and they'll suck you dry. So fly, if you want to. I don't care. Or pay exorbitant prices for fuel to stuff your Swinemobile or your crossover piglet. The fat cats rule either way.
I have this theory of what I call the "slippery slope to liberalism." It works like this: You can be a crazed conservative all you want, so long as you look at issues in the most simplistic, one-dimensional terms; so long as you don't think things through; so long as you hold yourself immune from probing questions. But once you begin to use your brain, once you examine issues in all their complexity, you find yourself on that long, inexorable slippery slope to liberalism.
I'll give you an example. Not long ago, I read Tom Clancy's novel Clear and Present Danger, in which a U.S. president authorizes the unleashing of the awesome power of our armed forces against international drug dealers. I cheered as U.S. soldiers tracked down the leaders of South American drug cartels in their jungle lairs and dispatched them to kingdom come. I whooped and hollered as U.S. fighter pilots swooped down on drug couriers in their lumbering civilian planes and blew them out of the air.
Man, I thought, this is great! Why can't we do this in the real world?
I was on my way, you see, to becoming a crazed conservative.
Now, the Peruvian air force has demonstrated the pitfalls of "doing this in the real world," with the generous assistance of the CIA. On April 20, a Peruvian fighter swooped down on a civilian aircraft that had been fingered as a possible drug courier by U.S. observers. The fighter pilot gave the suspect plane a warning--how much of a warning is open to conjecture and debate--and then started shooting, riddling the plane's fuselage with machine-gun fire. In my crazed-conservative mode, I would have liked to see more of this sort of thing. Only it turns out the plane was owned by the Pennsylvania-based Association of Baptists for World Evangelism. And the machine-gun fire killed American missionary Veronica "Roni" Bowers and her 7-month-old daughter, Charity.
This is the sort of tragedy that always seems to occur when folks shoot first and plan on asking questions later. And so, you'll be glad to know that I've returned to the fold, back where I belong, tumbling happily down that slippery slope to liberalism.

Style Guide for Anthropology Papers
Revised 9/1/2002
This document is also available in Adobe Acrobat PDF format for easier printing.
Style Guide for Anthropology Papers in Adobe Acrobat PDF format.
You may use the "Get Adobe Reader" button below to download Adobe Reader if it is not already installed on your system.
The Anthropology Department at Colorado College recommends that students use the style guide established by the American Anthropological Association (hereafter, the AAA ). Most questions about how to cite, what to capitalize or italicize, etc., are found in the AAA guide which forms the basis of the department's document on style. The CC Anthropology Department Style Guide for Anthropology Papers, however, adds a few source citations to the ones listed by the AAA, provides specific guidelines for paper formatting (margins, font size, pagination, etc.), and gives below some specific instructions for acknowledging sources in the body of your paper.
The complete text of the AAA Style Guide can be found online at:
The AAA Style Guide uses The Chicago Manual of Style and Webster's Tenth New Collegiate Dictionary. This guide is an outline of Chicago and AAA style rules used for all books and journals edited and produced in-house by the AAA Publications Department. Where no rule is present on this list, follow The Chicago Manual of Style or Kate L. Turabian's A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations. In Webster's, use first spelling if there is a choice, and use American spellings, not British.
Acknowledgment in text:
Many anthropological journals use a similar system for in-text references. However, they may vary a bit from one subdiscipline to another. The style employed by the journal, American Anthropologist, is generally accepted within the department, but you should check with your individual professor. Be consistent throughout your paper. All direct quotes -- and this includes photocopies of tables, figures, etc. -- must be acknowledged precisely, including the page from which they are taken. The acknowledgment is simply the author, date, page number. Example:
"A captive man was given a wife, but after several months or a year, he was ceremonially killed. While being tortured, the victim was permitted to pelt his captors with stones and to boast of his courage" (Steward and Faron 1959:331).
NOTE: Quotation marks immediately follow last word quoted, but punctuation follows reference.
You may sometimes want to quote a quotation, in which case you must mention both original source, and source which you consulted. This is partly a protective device. It not only admits that you did not see the original, but it also announces that you are not responsible for errors made by the source which you did consult. (For future reference, it is always preferable to hunt down the original yourself. This may not be practical for some undergraduate papers, however). Example:
NOTE: The bibliography would list only Williams, S.C., Early Travels in the Tennessee Country. Johnson City, Tenn: The Watauga Press, 1928. Also, as in the quote above, leave three dots to indicate words not quoted, and enclose words added to a quote in brackets.
Footnotes: Keep them to a minimum, and place them at the bottom of each page.
References Cited:
Use the common anthropological style. Examples to solve most problems will be found on subsequent pages under the section titled References. Mention in your bibliography only those sources which you have consulted. List nothing which is merely referred to in a consulted work. Order is alphabetical by author, chronological for a single author.
Where is the book published? This again is simple, although it may look complicated. Below is a characteristic example of the problem:
Downs, James F. 1972 The Navajo. New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Atlanta, Dallas, Montreal, Toronto, London, Sydney: Holt, Rinehart, Winston.
The publisher is bragging about how many offices it has. Cite only one city, usually the most important city. Which city do you cite? It depends on where you are writing the paper. If in the U.S., it would be New York; if in Canada, Toronto; if anywhere in Europe, London; if in the Pacific, Sydney; if elsewhere, take your pick. Do you list the state as well as the city? That's a judgment call. List the state only if necessary for clarity. Books are published by numerous presses both in Cambridge, MA and in Cambridge, England. If you just saw the city of Cambridge listed in the bibliography would you be able to tell the difference? When in doubt, specify.
General formatting instructions:
Font Size: Your paper should be printed or typed in an 11 or 12 point font.
Print Quality: Make sure the final print copy is dark and easy to read.
Paper Size: 8 l/2 x 11 inches
Margins: All margins (top, bottom, left, right) are
1 inch for regular course papers.
Pagination: Preliminary Pages: Includes index, table of contents, list of tables, graphs, illustrations, and preface. Use small Roman numbers (i, ii, iii, etc.). Title page is page i, but the number does not appear.
Text: Use Arabic numbers (l, 2, 3, etc.) at top center or top right, except on pages carrying major heading, or first page of chapter in which case place number at bottom center. Every page to be numbered consecutively, including -- tables, graphs, illustrations, bibliography etc.
Title Page: The title page should be centered. It should include the following information: title, author, date. course title, and instructor's name. For thesis, please consult specific guidelines.
NOTE: Don't forget to sign the Honor Code!

Reserves boss Warren Joyce is delighted with the way Davide Petrucci is developing at Old Trafford.
The former Roma youngster has captained the second string on a number of occasions this term and has already scored three goals since the turn of the year.
It has been extremely encouraging to see the 20-year-old get his career firmly back on track after two lengthy spells on the sidelines with pelvic problems obviously affected his momentum.
"We've seen a lot of progression in the way Davide is playing," Joyce told ManUtd.com. "It's concided with his fitness really.
"He had to work extremely hard over a period of time as he spent a lot of time out of the game - well over 12 months. Now he's worked hard to develop his running power.
"There's never been a question that he's got ability but he had to get other things up to speed and certainly, at the minute, he's amongst the goals."
The Italian midfielder has emerged as a key figure in the team and is likely to feature again when the Reserves face Wigan on Tuesday afternoon.
"I think he's a far better player now than he was before he got injured," stated Joyce. "Especially with his running power, as he didn't particularly have that.
"I think he's developed really well over the last 15 months or so."

February 18, 2013
The day-in and day-out grind for many local law enforcement officers can take an emotional toll, especially over time.
Now, one local police department is making an effort to get ahead of any physical or psychological effects before it's too late.
"Police officers are not robots. We're not programmed to accept or endure things," said Albemarle County detective Carl Brown. "We're all humans. We feel and cry and hurt just like everyone else does."
When on the go, a police officer must be prepared for the worst. A routine traffic stop could become anything but.
"Police officers are exposed to a wide variety of traumatic and critical events," Albemarle Police chief Col. Steve Sellers said. "You don't know what to expect. You don't know how you're going to react."
Police officers are trained how to handle many situations. Now, there's a new effort to train officers how to handle the potential psychological effects. The solutions are resources like peer support and a contracted psychologist.
"Over time, if not effectively addressed internally, that can build up," Sellers said.
Petersburg-based Dr. Byron Greenberg is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in police psychology. Last summer, he became involved with the Albemarle County Police Department.
"Police officers have a specific role in protecting and serving. But they have another role to be the container of memories that the public doesn't want," Greenberg said. "You see someone who is eviscerated in a car accident. You see someone who set their child on fire. Your brain can't really get around or comprehend these things.
Officers' responses to traumatic incidents can lead to many physical and psychological effects like ulcers, post-traumatic stress disorder and depression.
"You never think about being out there in the wet, cold and rain in the dark to stand between the people who want to harm somebody who's innocent and that person who would harm them," Greenberg said.
Greenberg said some officers hold onto the stress of the job, some work it out with exercise and others find family support. But he said perhaps some of the best help can be falling back on the law enforcement agency itself.
"I believe it's probably the single-most powerful institution to help our officers out," Greenberg said.
Detective Carl Brown is a member of Albemarle County's new Peer Support Team, a growing group of officers and civilians trained to help colleagues cope with the stresses of the job. The challenge, though, is getting the seemingly stout officers to open up.
"In the past, it used to be, when I was a young police officer, you didn't share what was bothering you because you were afraid people would see you as weak," Brown said.
But with the help of a Peer Support Team, a dedicated psychologist and other resources, the goal is now to get ahead of the effects and help protect the wellbeing of those who work to protect everyone else.

Welcome to My Shop
How you doin'? Me… not too bad.
Summa you know me as Donnie Shooze. Summa you know me as Mickey the Pencil. Summa you know me as Guido Salvatore. And, summa you know me as Doc.
I'm here to tell you, nuthin' leaves a lasting impression like wearing it when you're out with your crew (except maybe my ring, like that time when I back-handed some jamook when his payment was light).
Listen up! I don't wanna see you in my neighborhood, wearing your too big pants hangin' off your ass showin' your drawers (we gonna think maybe youze a finook), with your hat on side ways. If I do, I'm gonna take your freakin' hat and whizz in it. Then I'm gonna pull those stoopid pants down around your ankles, and chase you down the block with a bat. The neighborhood where I grew up, the only guys dressed like that were the poverett's. They were wearing their big brother's stuff because that's all they had. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, the tizzuns always dress like that. Faghedda bout it!
Are you freakin' kiddin' me? You wanna be an associate? Get serious! Start lookin' the part. Show some respect!
Hey, so as part of his tax I got this guy to launch a clothing line with my name on it. Take a look at summa my stuff.

I was going to say something very crude about having 8 inches at night but cos I am a *ahem* lady, I shalln't ROFL LOVE your pot of goodies Annette, I wanna come and delve into that cos it looks like my kinda goody pot :O)) The snow looks wonderful, I LOVE snow - don't envy you the clearing of it though.. mind your back hun, shovelling snow can cause all manner of damage to those discs and stuff. Loving the idea of making your own Printers Tray - can't wait to see the results! BTW, for anyone else following today... I have a VERY special something on my desk that came from Annette's very talented fair hand :O)) Hugs hun xx

You are early. Guess I will be watching for Julia's post, but mine isn't set to post till midnight my time. I'll be back after mine posts. I want to see more snow shots! And Bleubeard sends his love for all your caring.

- Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...
OK, I'm back. You sound very frugal in making your own printer tray. I bet you will do it, too. I've seen some of the things you make and "paper engineer."
I'm confused about your house. Your back deck seems to have a better view than the front. The front looks like it opens onto other back yards and storage units. I saw your house when you bought it (sans snow), so I know what the front looks like. But I'm easily confused, I guess.
Stay warm and hug your fur babies. I sure hope Chris doesn't have far to go to work. I can't believe you traded sand for snow in the course of the year I've "known" you. But I suspect you, like me, are no stranger to snow. I'm rambling, so it's time to hit the hay.

- Pam said...
No kidding that is looking "wintry" but how much better to craft with my pretty!
Just dream of those shopping days and that coach bag! The sun will be shining again before too awfully long and just think what you'll be able to accomplish in that craft space between here and there!
Looks like you have enough supplies to last you through the winter right?

I grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana, so I know all about that kind of snow. However, I live in Southern California now and only see it when I look to the East to the mountains! *smiles*
The lace. . . the flowers . . . the cogs . . . all things that would feel right at home here in Lake Forest, CA *hee hee*

Love all the wonderful makes over the last few posts, you're very brave making a printers tray! Love the little piles of embellies for it. So, how are you liking the snow? Loving it, hating it or, as I would imagine, the novelty factor hasn't worn off yet?? Get a snow blower!!
