School of Continuing Education and Special Programs - Dean's Office
Welcome to USA's School of Continuing Education and Special Programs. Our website provides you with a snapshot of our activities. I invite you to review our offerings.
Those involved with the School of Continuing Education and Special Programs are united in our desire to facilitate the development of culturally sensitive, competent, and successful individuals who serve our world. We value diversity, a global perspective, freedom in the pursuit of knowledge, integrity, and transparency. Through the website, you will see the diversity and quality of offerings.
Students who become interdisciplinary studies majors find that they have an impact on their
community because of educational opportunities presented for learning, leadership and global
awareness. In our School's work, we seek to maximize our students' potential and we are guided by
the values of
Our students approach interdisciplinary studies with a deep sense of dedication to the department and the education and community it provides them.
As the primary public service outreach arm for the University, the School provides and supports quality lifelong educational learning experiences and serves as an advocate for students as they interact with the global community. We strive to transform our students' academic experiences through interdisciplinary, experiential learning; and to support the University of South Alabama's community through expansion of international experiences.
We have much to offer you. We are committed to serving our diverse student population through exemplary practices in teaching, research, and service to the community. We provide quality academic experiences for students who have a wide range of goals such as the acquisition of an undergraduate degree that will ultimately lead to meaningful employment; personal enrichment; development of professional skills, development of basic skills prior to beginning a full-fledged academic program; and international education. We have one goal in common: Offer students a variety of transformational educational experiences to equip them to fulfill their potential.
Our comprehensive academic programs are delivered in a variety of locations and formats: classrooms on the main campus and in Baldwin County; blended courses (with some classes online and some classes in-person); and online courses. Online offerings include an online completion degree program with a major in Interdisciplinary Studies as well as a variety of online non-credit courses.
You may be a prospective student or a member of our community. You may be an alumnus, alumnae, or supporter. We are growing and we welcome your involvement and your ideas to help us continue to increase our impact and productivity.
It is my privilege to serve as dean of the School of Continuing Education and Special Programs. I have the opportunity to experience the expressions of joy on the faces of our graduates; to see parents and young adults graduate together; to see women and men find meaningful career paths; and to talk to first-time freshmen who share with me the benefits of our intense summer academic programs (and who volunteer to help the next group). The energy, dedication and enthusiasm exhibited by our faculty and staff help to advance the educational aspirations of our students and forward the internationalization of our campus and world. This is exciting.
The School makes a difference. I encourage you to join us.
Vaughn Millner, Ph.D., Dean

WholeFoods Magazine SourceBook: The Natural Products Directory
Aspen, CO—A summit on sustainability featuring presentations, film screenings, and a host of influential activists and leaders took place at the Hotel Jerome from August 10–13. The 11th annual American Renewable Energy Day (AREDAY) summit was hosted by the non-profit American Renewable Energy Institute, and included the likes of former President Jimmy Carter, Ted Turner, T. Boone Pickens, Dr. Sylvia Earle, CNN anchor Natalie Allen and U.S. Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado.
According to Bob Phibbs, "The Retail Doctor," on The Kinesis Blog, it takes less than 0.05 seconds for online users to form an opinion about a Web site (1). This impression forms users' opinions about a company and dictates whether they will stay or leave the site. As a business, it is important to develop a cohesive, professional brand on your Web site—and to overhaul it when the time is right.
Marlton, NJ—In July, Consumer Reports released an analysis that found the sugar content in Whole Foods Market's private label Greek yogurt is far higher than the amount listed on the package. Now, lawsuits have been filed in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Massachusetts on behalf consumers over the allegedly misleading labels.

Issaquah, WA—A questionnaire sent to physicians, nurses, and ancillary healthcare professionals across the U.S. shows that they are becoming increasingly open to using omega-3s and other dietary supplements, in their practices.
Basel, Switzerland—Research published in Lipids in Health and Disease shows that phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidic acid (PA) could possibly lower chronic stress levels in adults.
Milan, Italy—A new study published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition is linking curcumin to reducing oxidative stress after exercise, potentially providing relief to sore muscles.

text: 5 not down and out yet. even after 7 seasonsMattiP | 16/01/2013 | See all MattiP's reviews (20)another fantastic season from the Supernatural team. Watched since the very beginning and it never fails to entertain. Some serious bits, some comedy scenes, and a sad scene as well. I think the team who wrote the description should be sacked for throwing a spoiler. Those who haven't read the description and haven't seen the show don't read the description. it contains a spoiler, unless Play,com see this and choose to change their description.Nevertheless, an awesome series but the ending is a bit weak.It still gets 5* though, and it will always get 5*.

I would be SO interested in something like this!! I miss going to crops too.
I would be SO interested in something like this!! I miss going to crops too.
I would love nothing more than to meet some of you who share this awesomely addicting passion!!
And hey, if the digital crop thing doesn't pan out, we could always gather together for dinner, lunch, coffee, or whatever!
We should keep the lines of communication going. I'll just plan to call the scrap store and see if it's even an option. My house is big enough, but I have two huge german shephard dogs, two teenagers, and I'd have to coordinate it just right or it might be a zoo! :-) Perhaps we're all in that same boat, eh??
Let's keep in touch!!!!
So nice to me you all!
I'll call the scrapping store, it's called Scrapbook Destinations and I'll get back to you soon.
My email addy is: candice1973 (at) comcast (dot) net, please feel free to email me anything!! I'd love to stay in touch with you!! I am so glad we "met"! :-)
I'll get back to you, k? I can PM you, too. Or if you want, PM me your email address. Once we get all the info, we can come back her and recruit others who might want to attend our Digital Crop! It'll be sooooo fun! At least I think it would be. Plus, I would love to learn how others scrap....I think we can all add something to the table, ya know?
Talk to you soon. I'll send you a message tomorrow.
OH! And with 9 kids and 3 dogs....you win! Definitely could see how you wouldn't want to host! LOL! Too funny! i feel like I have 9 kids and 3 dogs, so I can only imagine your craziness. However, I am sure it's a houseful of love and that's what matters! :-)
I have some great news!!! I spoke to Mark Kay who is the owner of the scrap store I was telling you about and she is having a crop on 3/21/09! It's an all-day crop, but obviously you can leave whenever you'd like. There will traditional scrappers and those who want to scrap digitally just need to bring their PCs and EHD (if applicable)....she'll supply the powerstrips for us. I do not believe she has wireless, so we can't access the internet, so purchase all your GDS goodies beforehand! :-) That is if you can attend....I am going to plan on it either way.
Anyone who is reading this from Colorado is MORE than welcome to attend. However, there is a "catch!" it's an 80's-themed crop, so get your Aqua Net Hairspray out and let's rock out to the Go-Go's or something! LOL!
Now if this particular day doesn't work for anyone, she said we can go there on any given Sunday, but we just have to call in advance. The cost for the all-day crop on 3/21 is $15!!!!! Which is a STEAL! It includes prizes and snacks. For full meals there are places throughout the shopping center where we can grab something.
Crop starts at 10:00 am and goes until 11:00 pm! I think it sounds like a TOTAL blast! And it also sounds like a wonderful day for me to finish a few hybrid projects I have in the works.
Tell me what you think. I am soooooo, sooooooo ready to do this! If anyone else is interested, please reply to this thread!
We can be the Colorado Digi-Scrapettes!! (or some other more "catchy" name! LOL!)
Okay, so I know I've been all over the board here so to clarify... we can scrap at Mary Kay's store digitally on any given Sunday, the fee is $10 and we'd need to call in advance.
There is a schedule crop on March 31st that I'd LOVE to attend with any of you....
Scrapbook Destinations
8212 S. Holly
Centennial, CO
Starts: 10:00 am
Ends: 11:00 pm (or whenever you'd like to leave)
Cost: $15 (includes snacks and prize(s))
Theme: 80's (you do not have to participate, but I think there is a prize for the "best dressed")
If you want an actual meal, there are several places to chose from in the shopping center.
If you want to attend, we will need to contact her and pay the $15 to hold your spot. She says she has approximately 6-8 spaces left, but they're filling up fast.
I think if I can get at least ONE other person to attend with me, I am DEFINITELY IN!!!! I hope someone else will want to go.
Let me know!
Warmest regards,

Been on this site since November...can't believe I missed this thread. I am from Boone, North Carolina (Appalachian mountain range), close to TN/VA borders. Nice to meet everyone!! A great bunch of folks on this site!!!
Hey Candi,
I just got back to checking this thread, but wanted to let you know how much fun this sounds like. I'm at Arapahoe and Yosemite, so it's not far at all from me. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make this one because the date isn't good for me. But, I would love to know when you want to take advantage of the any Sunday rule and we could meet there! I think my schedule is pretty full this month, but some Sunday in April would be awesome. My email is deegibbons (at) gmail (dotcom). Let me know!
Mother to Ashley 16, Samantha 12, Dorothy 9, Madison 5 and Brian 13 months
I've added you to my address book! I am soooo glad you posted. I look forward to meeting any and all digiscrappers here in Colorado!!
Talk to you soon!
Hey everyone, Just wanted to jump on and see if anyone is interested in getting together. Maybe we can set up a crop event somewhere? late May early June? If you are interested, drop me a line at email@example.com or PM me!

Had to take a little break. . .we are now dairy goat farmers and fencing/gates on the property needed repaired and had to build a new goat barn so I've been busy. . .
. . .plus I was waiting on the new dash panel from Walck's which finally came in last Thursday so I should be back on this thing soon.
|I'm now looking into a 47 Willys pick up. Waiting for the owner to get back to me. Keep the pics up on your build..
|This thing is
I follow desert racing pretty religiously and seeing all the high end pre-runners and race trucks in Dirt Sports magazines makes me cringe at the thought of a crappy wiring job. . .electrical is by far my least favorite part (probably because I'm not as comfortable with it as mechanical stuff) but I figure if I spend some time and effort (and cash) on it now it will save me time and headaches in the future.
By no stretch of the imagination will my wiring job look anywhere nearly as good as the stuff in Dirt Sports though.
Update about 2 hrs. later. . .Spent the night working on Weatherpack connections. . .unfortunately I only got the headlight switch finished. I started to make up a Weatherpack for the headlight switch, got one terminal on and then I realized that I needed to wait until I had my headlight switch before I terminate the wires because all the wire terminals need to be even when they go into the terminal housing if I want the wiring to like nice and neat and not have bumps in the wiring harness from unevenly trimmed wires. . .
. . .oh well, it's not too bad considering this is my first time messing with these things and the fact that I don't really have the "right" tools to work with this style of terminal, but I can't afford to pay $200 for a terminal crimper!!! I can definitely see where it would make things much easier and faster, but I will just have to be patient and careful while making do with what I have. Hopefully the rest of my stuff will show up soon so that I can make some more forward progress. . .I'll work on some little things between now and then though. I can put Weatherpack connectors on the tail lights, plate lights for sure. . .I'll probably wait on the radiator fan since I plan on replacing the dual fans (which are really too big for the amount of space I have to work with in the front grille) with a large single fan/shroud combo. I will definitely be waiting on the headlight switch and the gauge panel. . .I will have to get some more gauges as well since I only have water temperature (mechanical), oil pressure (mechanical), voltmeter, and a column mounted tach at the moment. . .I still need a speedo and a fuel level gauge. I'm gonna get a cannon plug with enough extra pin locations to accomodate the electric gauges I don't have yet but plan on getting as well as some extra dash accessories in case of future upgrades.
Started plugging away at the wiring yesterday (no pun intended). . .I got all the sub-sections of the harness separated and zip-tied into bundles and ready to go into the truck.
Tonight I'm working on figuring out where all I want Weatherpack quick disconnects between components and the main harness in addition to the factory style connectors for the headlights, turnsignals, alternator, and dimmer switch that already have. Right now I'm thinking additional weatherpack style QD's at the ignition switch, headlight switch, and tail lights/plate lights.
I'm planning to use cannon plug style bulkhead connectors where the front, engine, and rear subharness go through the firewall instead of threading wires through a hole with grommet. I'm also going to use cannon style QD's for the gauge panel so I can very easily disconnect all the wiring for the gauge panel and remove the entire gauge panel as a unit very easily. . .as a bonus this will make wiring the dash much easier since I can do it on the bench instead of in the vehicle.
Last thing I plan on doing with the dash panel is to use terminal blocks for the instrument light power, gauge power, and the ground. . .so three terminal blocks.
Tonight I ordered a new headlight switch, indicator lights for the dash (blue for high beams, green for turnsignals/hazards, and red for warning lights. . .oil pressure, water temperature, charging system, and an extra for the e-brake when I get around to adding one). I also ordered a hex QD for the steering wheel so I can remove the entire column. . .right now the steering wheel adapter is welded directly to the steering shaft and the steering shaft can't be removed from the vehicle; using the QD will make dash work now and service later much easier.
I also ordered a glove box latch and a dash/gauge panel from Walck's. What I haven't ordered yet are the new fan/shroud assembly or the steering box rebuild kit. . .I don't have an unlimited budget and that fact has really been the biggest limiting factor in this build (that and it being my first time at anything remotely this big in scope!!!). The stuff I'm not going to worry about any time soon are windshield wipers, e-brake, neutral start switch. . .mainly because I haven't figured out how to incorporate those things into a 1949 Jeep with MUCH newer GM running gear. I know these are all safety related items and I plan to address them as quickly as possible, but this isn't a daily driver or anything like that so they aren't critical. . .yet.
Everything right now is really more temporary than permanent. . .kinda a get it running so we can enjoy it for a while and then tear back into this thing and fix everything that I could have done better if I had none better and work on cosmetic issues as well. Sorry about the lack of pictures, but the work I'm doing right now doesn't really translate into pictures. Next pictures will be once I have the new radiator fan/shroud so that I can get the grill mounted properly.
Still chugging away at this thing. . .I replaced the front brake hardline with a bent one that follows the contour of the front axle to keep it out of the way and better protect it from damage; I still need to install some tabs to hold it in place though. I cut an access hole in the driver's side floor panel so that I can check/fill the brake master cylinder and I'm working on putting an aluminum access hatch with a dzu's fastener to cover the hole, but I need a longer dzus bolt to get it to actually latch in place.
I think wiring is really the last big step and I've kinda been blowing it off since I'm not too excited about tackling it. . .I've decided to replace the current two fan set-up with a single fan/shroud combo from Jegs because the two-fan set-up doesn't really fit the radiator all that well.
After I get this stuff fixed/done I will post up pic's and let you know how getting the thing started goes. . .hopefully that will be before the end of the month.
Finally got around to uploading the photos I took. . .here ya go
Here are some of the power steering box mount welded up and the box installed. . .ignore the rust, it rained right after I finished welding the mount up. I've since wire brushed the rust off; I'll be re-painting all the places that are rusty after I've got this thing running and am sure that I'm done removing paint for welding.
Here are several of the interior. . .I installed the brake pedal (a temporary one until I can fab one with a little more character. . .I'm open to ideas by the way) and the transmission and transfer case shifters after machining some adapters
Here are some of the spacers I turned to get the steering column off the bottom of the dash. . .there's a 1/4" steel plate to reinforce the stock dash that you can't really see in the pictures; I made sure I made the reinforcing plate small enough to not be seen unless you knew it was there
New V-belts and the PS pump adjusting sleeve installed (this one still needs a little more work to get the pulleys perfectly aligned and make the mount for the PS pump slightly more rigid).
Gonna be out of town this weekend, but I should have some more progress before next weekend.
|Keep the pictures coming it's a very cool project!
Got a bunch of stuff done yesterday and today. . .I had time to take some pic's but no time to upload them, sorry.
I'll load them up tomorrow.
Things are finally starting to move along again!!!
Weather turned crappy so I haven't been able to weld the steering box bracket in place on the frame yet, but I did get all the modifications made to all the little sleeves and bushings I made. The PS pump and steering column are now happy campers; I get the correct belt for the PS pump and a replacement belt for the water pump/alternator. I need to trim a little rubber off of the driver's side engine mount so that the steering shaft doesn't rub on it and I also realized that I had mounted the electric fan on the wrong side of the radiator.
I mounted the fan on the back of the radiator as a puller and it interfered with the alternator. . .I couldn't figure out why since the previous owner had it on there without interference; so I went back and looked at some of the old pictures and realized he had it mounted in front of the radiator as a pusher. So I'm gonna mount it that way until I get a different aluminum radiator that fits the grill area better.
The next big thing on the list after welding the steering box mount to the frame will be to reinstall the wiring harness.
Today I test fit all the sleeves, bushings, and spacers I made and I've got a few modifications to make, but I went ahead and took some pictures for you guys. . .
Here's the turnbuckle. . .I have to shorten it a little before it will fit correctly, about a quarter inch
Here are some shots of the GM Saginaw box mocked into position with the new and much cleaner mounting plate. . .this is SOOOOO much better then the ugly mount I had on there before. . .I need to put a flat on the top mounting sleeve because it sits so close to the top of the frame; I was trying to keep approach angle and ground clearance in mind to protect the steering system as much as possible with this style of set-up
Here's a pic of the tie rod and drag link mounted to the steering knuckles and pitman arm. . .I think a drop pitman arm would help me a little here, future upgrade probably.
Here are some shots of the vehicle as it sits now. . .
I welcome your input. . .this is my first project of this scale, so there is definitely room for improvement. . .some things I know I'm gonna go back and fix later, but I still want to hear about it if I'm making a mistake.
Thanks and Enjoy!!!
I'm sure I will look back on it as a fun project overall once it's finished.
|Looks like a fun project!
|I can't wait to see the end of this
Spent the entire weekend working on the Willy's and made some good progress, but had to take a few steps backward to ultimately move forward.
First the steps backwards:
-ripped the entire wiring system out of the truck
-figured out the Toyota steering box wasn't going to work once I had it in place
Forward progress:
-fabricated mounting plate for the GM Saginaw steering box and got the steering box mocked up. . .made the mounts out of 1/4" angle stock to sandwich the frame rail with some 3/16" gussets (the material I had on hand). I got the holes accurately drilled and I just have to turn some sleeves and spacers for the hardware to get this part completely finished.
-tie rod and drag link made and mounted, I'm just waiting for a few bits of rod end accessories to show up in the mail and these are completely finished.
-fabricated my own mounts for the GM power steering box so that the pulley would mount higher on the engine and clear the front frame cross-member. . .I've got to turn a RH/LH threaded turnbuckle for adjusting the belt tension for the PS pump.
I found a few problems in the process as well:
-fuel filter fittings leaking, pulled the filter, cleaned it, and re-installed it with new thread sealant
-oil pan gasket leaking; I've got a new gasket set and pulled the pan and cleaned the mounting surfaces very thoroughly
-rear axle seals (GM 14-bolt leaking); I need to buy new seals for these I guess
-a few leaking coolant connection, mainly the heater bypass hose fitting and temperature sensor fitting. . .I got those fixed.
Getting the steering box mount and PS pump mounts figured out was a HUGE step forward and what has been giving me the most trouble in this build so it's a huge relief to know that I've finally got it figured out.
Sorry I didn't have time to take pictures. . .I was busy working.
|I got the quote on the mounting plates and they are getting cut out now. . .just FYI, the frame is boxed as well.
I finally got the placement of the PS box figured out. . .this is basically where it's gonna be. It will sit straight up and down (it's cocked forward a little bit here because there is only one bolt holding it up) and it will be moved down about 1/4" as well, but this lines the pitman arm and steering arm up.
Sorry the pictures are kinda bad, but it was dark outside by the time I got finished up today.
I will be drilling 3/4" holes in the frame for the forward bolt and the lower rear bolt, those holes will have 5/8" OD x 3/8" ID machined steel sleeves welded into them. The upper rear mount will have the same sleeve, but the sleeve will be welded to the top of the frame rail and there will be 1/4" thick brackets on the inside and outside of the frame rail that will tie the upper rear and lower rear bolt sleeves together. . .I think that should be stout enough.
Another bonus is that the steering box and drag link will be much more protected in this location than they were with the Saginaw box I was gonna use before.
I will try to post up a SolidWorks illustration of everything in place later so that my plan will make more sense.
|Ha, that's a bench inside the house. . .the garage is still too messy from moving to take pictures in there!!!
|Rusty Knutt
|Thats an awfully nice work bench you got there.
Here are some pic's of the pitman arm with the new sleeve pressed in; the sleeve I pressed in is the one flush with the pitman arm (bottom of the arm in this pic). . .
. . .the steering arm with the taper sleeve
. . .and finally the sleeve I'm gonna weld to the top of the frame for the upper bolt on the front of the Toyota steering box.
I'll post a pic of the side brackets for the PS box once I finish it up in SolidWorks.
The blind hole spotters I ordered showed up in the mail today so I should be getting the steering box mounts sorted out shortly.
I will try to take pic's of the pitman arm (should have taken a picture of the sleeve before I pressed it in so you could see a before and after) and of the steering arm/sleeve and post them up later tonight.
Weather is finally starting to turn nice here again. . .hoping to have this thing running by June.
Quick update. . .I now have an early-style Toyota PS box and pitman arm that will allow me to mount the steering box to the outside of the frame and the pitman arm will line right up with the steering arm on the axle. . .
. . .I removed the TRE from the pitman arm and machined a press-fit (.0015" interference fit) straight wall sleeve for the pitman arm to allow the use of a through bolt and rod end for the drag link and a slip-fit taper wall sleeve for the steering arm. . .
. . .one step closer to this thing moving under its own power!
Picked up the correct size hardware to mount the steering box (7/16" x 14 TPI x 4") and I machined some 5/8" spacers to space the steering box off the frame just enough so that the pitman arm clears the frame at full swing. . .
. . .also grabbed some 1/4" angle stock to use for the uppermost mounting location/gusset.
Just need to order the U-joint stuff, threaded tubing adapters (no time to make them right now so it will be faster. . .and cheaper. . .to order them), and pick-up some tubing for the new drag link.
Spent most of the evening staring at my new Toyota steering box, then staring at the Willy's frame, then back at the steering box trying to decide where the best place to mount the steering box would be. . .
. . .I finally decided on a spot that only requires me to drill one additional hole in the frame. I also located the 17mm x 36 spline u-joint (someone on another forum sent me a link to Woodward steering and they have exactly what I need). So, all I have to do is buy a U-joint, a weld-splined stud, a new threaded steering shaft support bung (for the steering shaft support rod-end since I will be shortening and rerouting the steering shaft. . .a good thing I think. . .a shorter steering shaft will be sturdier in my opinion and now the steering shaft stays above the frame for it's entire length), some new tubing and threaded tubing adapters for a new drag link.
The new steering box location also will allow me to run a high steer, crossover set-up instead of a a traditionally located inverted "T" set-up. . .I wanted to run a high steer, crossover from the beginning so I'm happy about this. Additionally the steering box will no longer be hanging out at the front of the frame. . .it will be much less vunerable in the new location.
So far the only downside to the new steering box and steering box location is that I will be limited to ~5 1/2" - 6" of suspension compression or else there is the potential for the leaf spring plate to contact the pitman arm depending on the the wheel orientation at the time of compression, but so far I'm willing to make that trade-off compared to what I was working with before.
I'll take some pic's one the new hardware comes in and I have everything mocked up. . .I will try to get a pic of the new steering box and mounting location posted by this weekend.
Well it's getting towards the end of the year, the weather is starting to get chilly, and it's gonna start raining by the end of October up here so I guess that's my motivation to get my butt back in gear on this project. . .
. . .along those lines I picked up what I hope is the solution to my steering box mounting problems, an outside the frame Toyota steering box. Saw one on my friends '92 Toyota pick-up and I thought "That's perfect!" So I hopped on Craigslist and found one. . .this should make it way easier to mount a steering box on this thing. Plus it will be easier to reinforce and gusset the frame with the box mounted on the outside of the frame and the only modifications I should need to make will be to shorten the steering shaft, possibly by a different splined end for the steering shaft (I haven't measured the Toyota box input shaft or counted the splines yet), and probably make a different drag link.
Hopefully I will have it all mounted up by the end of the month. . .then it's on to getting the engine running, hopefully by the end of October.
|Hopefully I'll get to work on the steering some more this weekend.
|Thanks guys. . .good motivation to get it finished!!!
|that truck is awesome
The new house is flippin awesome!
The willy's is pretty cool too My dad's got a '55 sittin out behind his garage, but he's not a jeep guy, so the extent of his efforts has been replacing the points and plug wires and driving it in parades n stuff (grrrr). Gonna hafta send him a link to the thread and maybe he'll purty it up a little more...

The Royal Veterinary College tasked London firm Hawkins\Brown to design a new residential development to ensure their clinical students had housing nearby. The development is composed of nine three- and four-story timber-clad buildings housing studio apartments. Each floor houses six studios with a shared kitchen and living area. The buildings are clustered around intimate courtyards and adjacent to a dining area and conferencing facilities for the student's use. Remaining sensitive to the surrounding countryside, the project's design maintained an existing greenbelt.
The residences at the Hawkshead Campus were awarded BREEAM Very Good as a result of their sensitive and energy efficient design. An aluminum rain screen designed by artist Nicky Hirst was perforated with full and half-moon shapes to protect the buildings from the elements. Materials like Western Red Cedar timber and a Bronsgroen brick for the cladded were sourced locally. The bathrooms and parts of the external envelope were prefabricated offsite to minimize waste and ensure precise construction. In addition, the project features bicycle parking, water and energy management, solar hot-water, and grey water recycling. This year, the project was named as one of Britain's 50 Best New Buildings with a RIBA Award.

Lung Adjuvant Cisplatin Evaluation (LACE): A pooled analysis of five randomized clinical trials including 4,584 patients
This study pooled the results (also called meta-analysis) of multiple studies of non small cell lung cancer treated with chemotherapy after surgical resection. In particular, this group looked at studies using cisplatin alone or cisplatin combinations. The patients treated with chemotherapy had a survival advantage of 3.9% at three years over those who did not receive chemotherapy and a 5.3% advantage at five years.
Although chemotherapy resulted in a survival benefit, this benefit varied by stage. Chemotherapy actually resulted in worse outcomes in stage IA patients, had no effect in stage IB patients (consistent with other studies presented at ASCO), and improved survival in stage II and III patients.
The study suggests that the combination of cisplatin and vinorelbine is superior to other combinations, but in this combination, higher doses of cisplatin were given, so more research is needed. This study does not compare cisplatin to carboplatin, which has been an ongoing question in practice.
Nov 2, 2010 - Most recent oncology randomized controlled trials evaluate drugs that are available "off-protocol therapy" in the United States, and this can adversely impact trial enrollment, according to a study published online Oct. 25 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

HAGERSTOWN, Md. - A Hagerstown maker of spiral staircases says it plans to add at least 50 jobs following its acquisition of an Ohio stair manufacturer.
The Herald-Mail ( http://bit.ly/SJJAWO) reported in its Tuesday edition on the growth plans of Duvinage (doo-vin-AHJ') Corp., one of the nation's oldest makers of spiral steel staircases.
President Robert Maruszewski (mahr-uh-SHEF'-ski) says Duvinage has purchased Worthington Metal Fabricators, formerly Sharon Stairs, of Akron, Ohio. He says Worthington's production is shifting to Hagerstown.
Maruszewski says Duvinage hired three former Worthington workers, bringing employment at Duvinage to 25. He says Duvinage plans to hire at least 50 more workers over the next five years.
Worthington specializes in stairwell stairs designed to meet safety codes in commercial buildings.
Duvinage is owned by the Washington investment firm Key Bridge Partners.

Create a safe and smooth ride with right set of tires
Whenever you're behind the wheel of your car, you and the other passengers deserve a safe trip. Your tires are the biggest factor in determining whether you're going to experience a bumpy ride or truly exceptional commute. If you prefer the latter, a new set of tires are in order. The right kind of high-quality tires not only create a smoother stop, but they also can improve your gas mileage and provide optimal performance from your vehicle.
Finding the right kind of tire to wrap around your wheels can be tough. There are various kinds of tires made for different uses. For example, all-season tires are great if you need a durable tire that can give you ample traction all year long. Maybe you need something that can support your pick-up or SUV better than its standard passenger tires. Think about using light truck tires to give you superior grip when you're hauling or towing heavy equipment.
Do you live in an area that experiences harsh winter conditions? Your vehicle might require winter tires to handle the elements. Winter tires are made of special kind of rubber and deeper tread that grips ice and snow better than average tires. Most snow tires are produced with lower speed ratings, so make sure it fits your driving habits before deciding to install them on your vehicle.
Don't keep snow tires on year round; there are other solutions for your car when the winter ends. If you have a performance vehicle, consider installing summer tires that can give you superior traction at higher speeds. No matter what it is you're looking for, Sears has all tires that fit your vehicle and driving needs.
Having the right tires ensure a safer commute. Whether you drive a car, truck or SUV, you'll find the best automotive tires for your ride at Sears. With tires from top of the line brands like Goodyear, Michelin and Continental, your car will have a gentler and steadier ride to get you to and from work or dropping our kids off at school.

"Wasn't pleased"
Probably the only thing so far I have ever bought from Jeffers that I wasn't pleased with. I have bought a couple thinking the one I got may have been defective, but the others were the same. Low read outs! Kept telling me my temp was 93.6... then I tried it on my dog and she had 98.5... not good when it may read low when they have a high fever and the thermometer tells me it's normal due to a low read out! Won't use them! Back to the nondigitals for me!!
"Works Fast!"
Very fast readout. Works better than any I've used before.
"Great Product"
I love the quick readout of this thermometer. A good thermometer is essential for any livestock owner. The accurate, digital display makes the job so much easier. And the price was perfect...I should have bought a few of these - I will definitely buy this thermometer again.
"Quick Accuracy"
The 9 second Digital thermometer by Marshall Electronics is a real lifesaver. No one enjoys the task of taking an animal?ÇÖs temperature, so the fact that this thermometer works accurately and QUICKLY is very important. It is really a ?Ç£must have?Ç¥ for the emergency kit?Ǫin fact we have two working thermometers at all times, just in case.
"Great Product!"
I absolutely LOVE the 9 second thermometer. You never really know how badly you need one until it isn?ÇÖt there. With the 9 second thermometer taking the temperatures of calves and goats was a breeze as we didn?ÇÖt have to fight with the animals to get them to stand still very long, and the numbers were large enough that we didn?ÇÖt have to second guess what it said. I also loved the way it turned itself off. We got a lot of snow and rain here this year and honestly I have no idea how many times I have dropped my thermometer in the snow and mud and it still continues to work! Just a quick and easy clean off and ready to use again. A thermometer is a must have for any livestock producer?ÇÖs medical cabinet and livestock first aid kits and the 9 second thermometer would definitely be one of my top suggestions.
When an animal is sick the last thing you want to do is waste time. In 9 seconds you can get an accurate read on where your animal's temp is at and how to proceed. Lacking in this is the fact like all digital thermometers they arent as accurate in the winter as I would like.

Gillard's push for uranium sales to India
Phillip Coorey
November 15, 2011
THE Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, has set the scene for a brawl at the
ALP national conference by calling on the party to reverse its policy
and allow uranium exports to India.
Calling for a policy change that is likely to be adopted, Ms Gillard
says it is time for Labor to broaden its platform and ''strengthen our
connection with dynamic, democratic India''.
Labor has long resisted selling uranium to India, which has nuclear
weapons and nuclear power, because it refuses to sign the nuclear
non-proliferation treaty, a prerequisite Labor policy puts on uranium
The opposition has been demanding for years that the government change
policy so Australia can tap into the lucrative and growing Indian market
and the Indians have also been applying pressure.
In a column in the Herald today, Ms Gillard says uranium sent to India
would have to be accompanied by guarantees it not be used for weapons.
''We must, of course, expect of India the same standards we do of all
countries for uranium export - strict adherence to International Atomic
Energy Agency arrangements and strong bilateral and transparency
measures which will provide assurances our uranium will be used only for
peaceful purposes.''
Her call is likely to meet fierce resistance from the Left at the
conference next month and Ms Gillard says there should be an argument.
''I'm looking forward to some noise being made,'' she said.
The policy change would signal another shift in Labor's uranium policy.
In 2007, it ditched its no new mines policy.
Ms Gillard will try today to placate the Left by also supporting a
change in policy to allow a conscience vote on gay marriage. The Left
wants full legalisation of gay marriage.
The Foreign Affairs Minister, Kevin Rudd, was in India yesterday and is
understood to have conveyed Ms Gillard's position on uranium to the
Indian government. She says it does not make sense to sell uranium to
China, Japan and the US but not India.
She badges the policy about-face as an economic and environmental
measure. Australia is the world's third largest uranium exporter. It
contributes a relatively small $750 million to the economy but creates
4200 jobs. Ms Gillard will argue that nuclear power is a cleaner source
of energy for the rapidly developing India.
''[We] must be prepared to confront difficult questions about maximising
prosperity and the strength of our relationships in our region of the
At the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Perth, where Indian
officials and businessmen were lobbying behind the scenes, Mr Rudd said
India did not need Australian uranium. ''There is no problem in terms of
global supply. Let's just be very, very blunt about this,'' he said.
''If you hear an argument from an Indian business person that the future
of the nuclear industry in India depends exclusively on access to
uranium, that is simply not sustainable as a proposition. Have a look at
the data.''
But sources close to Mr Rudd say he has privately supported the policy
change for some time.
The Premier, Barry O'Farrell, now in Mumbai leading a 30-strong business
delegation and unaware of Ms Gillard's call, lashed out at the
Commonwealth's ban on uranium sales to India, describing it as "stupid".
"I believe that when the new government is elected in Australia, the ban
will be lifted, though I want the existing government to make the
change," Mr O'Farrell told India's newspaper Business Standard.

Time to supply uranium to 'rising giant', says PM
November 15, 2011 - 2:53PM
Prime Minister Julia Gillard says the time has come to lift a ban on
uranium sales to India.
Ms Gillard will ask next month's ALP national conference to overturn
long-standing party policy that allows uranium to be sold only to
nations that have signed up to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.
India is not a signatory to the treaty.
Advertisement: Story continues below
"As India rises and brings hundreds of millions of people out of poverty
it will need more energy," Ms Gillard told reporters in Canberra.
She cited economic benefits as one of three reasons for lifting the ban.
Australia was the world's third largest supplier of uranium, which
contributed more than $750 million to the economy and created more than
4200 jobs.
India was expected to increase its use of nuclear power from the current
3 per cent of electricity generation to 40 per cent by 2050.
"India is our fourth biggest export markets, a market worth nearly $16
billion to Australia, with enormous potential to grow as India becomes
wealthier," Ms Gillard said.
India is looking to supply 40 per cent of its energy need through
nuclear energy.
"We are a very big supplier of uranium so having access to this new and
growing market is good for Australian jobs."
Ms Gillard said lifting the ban was another step forward in Australia's
relationship with India.
It came at a time when Australia faced a unique set of opportunities in
what she called the "Asian century".
"India as a rising giant will be part of that strong economic growth,"
Ms Gillard said.
"Put simply, our best possible partnership with India is also good for
Australian jobs."
Ms Gillard said Australia had pursued international diplomatic efforts
to bring India into the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.
But the US-India Civil Nuclear Agreement, signed in 2005, changed that
"It effectively lifted the de facto international ban on co-operation
with India in this area," Ms Gillard said.
Australia would be penalised economically if the government continued
its ban on uranium sales to India.
India is forecast to lift its use of nuclear power from 3 per cent now
to a forecast 40 per cent in 2050.
"Given this change in diplomatic circumstances around the world, for us
to refuse to budge is all pain with no gain," Ms Gillard said.
She said Labor's national platform should recognise the reality of
selling uranium to India.
Ms Gillard said India was in a class of its own, unlike Israel and
She ruled out the use of nuclear energy in Australia, saying the nation
had access to abundant cheaper energy resources.

text: 5 My film choice of 2012!!mattymark | 21/01/2013 | See all mattymark's reviews (531)What's this? Tim Burton makes a movie without Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter?? Can't remember the last time that happened!! And it's ironic that this film is being made by Disney, the very studio that fired Tim Burton for making the original short film that this is based on back in the 80's too! A beautiful love letter and homage to black and white horror classics, Frankenweenie is the story of Victor, a young boy whose dog gets killed and he can't get over it so after being inspired one day in science class he decides he is going to bring his beloved dog Sparky back from the dead! While sadly i feel a lot of the jokes and references to classic horror films will go over a lot of kids heads, there is plenty for the film buff to enjoy. The lead character is called Victor Frankenstein and watch out for characters called Van Helsing and Edgar E Gore (Get it? E Gore?)and plenty of other sight gags. The black and white stop motion animation is fantastic to look at and this is at heart a touching, very funny story of a boy and his beloved dog! Tim Burton's best film in years. A must see!

The self basting system consisting of distributed spikes over the whole inside flat lid ensures a continuous rainfall effect over the food inside the cocotte. The Staub self basting system in the lid is 9 times more effective than conventional lids.
