Date 2001-08-01 Availability unrestricted Abstract Specialized techniques are needed to solve global optimization problems, due to the existence of multiple local optima or numerical noise in the objective function. The complexity of the problem is aggravated when discontinuities and constraints are present, or when evaluation of the objective function is computationally expensive. The global (minimization) programming problem is defined as finding the variable set for which the objective function obtains not only a local minimum, but also the smallest value, the global minimum. From a mathematical point of view, the global programming problem is essentially unsolvable, due to a lack of mathematical conditions characterizing the global optimum. In this study, the unconstrained global programming problem is addressed using a number of novel heuristic approaches.Firstly, a probabilistic global stopping criterion is presented for multi-start algorithms. This rule, denoted the unified Bayesian stopping criterion, is based on the single mild assumption that the probability of convergence to the global minimum is comparable to the probability of convergence to any other local minimum. This rule was previously presented for use in combination with a specific global optimization algorithm, and is now shown to be effective when used in a general multi-start approach. The suitability of the unified Bayesian stopping criterion is demonstrated for a number of algorithms using standard test functions.
Secondly, multi-start global optimization algorithms based on multiple local searches, com؛bined with the unified Bayesian stopping criterion, are presented. Numerical results reveal that these simple multi-start algorithms outperform a number of leading contenders.
Thirdly, parallelization of the sequential multi-start algorithms is shown to effectively re؛duce the apparent computational time associated with solving expensive global programming problems.
Fourthly, two algorithms simulating natural phenomena are implemented, namely the rel؛atively new particle swarm optimization method and the well known genetic algorithm. For the current implementations, numerical results indicate that the computational effort associated with these methods is comparable.
Fifthly, the observation that no single global optimization algorithm can consistently out؛perform any other algorithm when a large set of problems is considered, leads to the de؛velopment of a parallel competing algorithm infrastructure. In this infrastructure different algorithms, ranging from deterministic to stochastic, compete simultaneously for a contri؛bution to the unified Bayesian global stopping criterion. This is an important step towards facilitating an infrastructure that is suitable for a range of problems in different classes.
In the sixth place, the constrained global programming problems is addressed using con؛strained algorithms in the parallel competing algorithm infrastructure. The developed methods are extensively tested using standard test functions, for both serial and parallel implementations. An optimization procedure is also presented to solve the slope stability problem faced in civil engineering. This new procedure determines the factor of safety of slopes using a global optimization approach.

A's take advantage of Brandon Maurer's mistakes in 8-2 win over Mariners
Maurer was mostly solid in his debut for the Mariners straight out of Class AA, but gave up a pair of two-run homers that helped Oakland split the series.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Mariners @ Chicago White Sox,
5:10 p.m., ROOT
OAKLAND, Calif. — There were the usual jitters and mistakes one would expect from a Mariners pitcher making his debut straight out of Class AA.
And by the time Brandon Maurer was done experiencing it all for the first time Thursday, his team didn't have enough offense left to prevent the Oakland Athletics from splitting their season-opening four-game series. Maurer eventually found a bit of a groove in this 8-2 loss and said he hoped to carry what he'd learned into his next start.
One of the lessons: don't make mistake pitches to the two best power hitters on the other team.
"I think there was a time there when I settled down, but then I started getting away from my fastball and started getting behind in counts and got myself in trouble," Maurer said after giving up six runs in six innings, four of them on two-run homers by Josh Reddick and Yoenis Cespedes.
The Reddick blast was on a 1-2 fastball that traveled right down the middle of the plate instead of its intended target of up and away from the hitter. Then, after a Michael Morse solo homer — his fourth in three days — drew the Mariners within a run at 3-2 in the sixth, Cespedes got a slider right down the middle and belted it over the left-field wall in the bottom of the frame.
Five of the eight hits by the A's off Maurer went for extra bases. Jed Lowrie had two more doubles for the day, giving him four in the last two games along with a home run.
Oakland scored twice on a pair of sacrifice flies by Reddick and Nate Freiman off Lucas Luetge in the eighth to cap the blowout.
A crowd of 12,134 at the Coliseum saw Maurer become the first Mariners starting pitcher in 20 years to open a season in the rotation without having pitched in Class AAA. The last two pitchers to do it were John Cummings and Mike Hampton in 1993, when they were a season removed from Class A.
Maurer pitched in AA last year, then dazzled the Mariners this spring with the ability to make in-game adjustments and bear down with runners on base. While Maurer did appear to adjust after the first inning — retiring nine in a row after hitting Chris Young to start the second — he also had problems once runners got on.
The mistake to Reddick was one of those, and Maurer later uncorked a wild pitch in the fifth that moved Young to third base with none out following his leadoff double. Young later scored to restore a two-run cushion for the A's a half-inning after Michael Saunders had hit a sacrifice fly to make it 2-1.
Then, after the Morse home run to left off A's starter A.J. Griffin closed the gap to 3-2, Maurer couldn't hold the fort in the bottom of the inning. He yielded back-to-back doubles to Lowrie and Reddick before the Cespedes blast erased all doubt about how the once-close game would end.
"I think maybe location with the off-speed is what got me in trouble," Maurer said.
Indeed, the doubles came on a changeup to Lowrie and a slider to Reddick that were again too centered. Maurer had his family fly up from Los Angeles for the game and did have to battle some nerves.
"I actually felt OK going out there the first inning," he said. "And then the second inning — uh-oh."
Mariners veteran catcher Kelly Shoppach, who reached base three times with two singles and a walk in his season debut, watched the pitcher closely for signs of becoming too nervous.
"He seemed to handle himself real well," Shoppach said. "If you didn't know it was his first start, you wouldn't have known."
Maurer had thrown just 59 pitches through five innings in a 3-1 game. He finished with 78, and Shoppach said that, other than a few mistake pitches, things didn't go all that badly.
"I hope he sees that he learned from a couple of mistakes in good spots there and corrects them going forward," Shoppach said. "It was a pretty good day for him. I hope that he's proud that he had a chance to get out there and pitch for the first time."
Mariners manager Eric Wedge agreed that Maurer should be able to move on from here.
"I think he just needed to get settled in early on," Wedge said. "That was nothing more than that it being his first time out there. He really settled in nicely and was throwing the ball very well there for a while."
Wedge hopes the rest of his team settles in as well now that the first series is done. The Mariners were outscored 14-4 the final two games after winning the first two by a combined 9-1 margin.
"It's a new ballclub, we've got a lot of guys here that are just now getting settled in," Wedge said. "It takes a little time to get your feet underneath you and find that groove as a club. But we will."

In the race to sell tickets each summer, studios routinely throw bazillions of dollars into star salaries and CGI hocus-pocus. But sometimes all it takes to pack theaters is two strangers who fall in love and make beautiful music together. Introducing Once, the scruffy indie-rock musical that earned a massive per-screen average of nearly $31,000 in two theaters during its opening weekend and has earned $1.7 million to date thanks to strong word of mouth, wet kisses from critics, and an Oscar-worthy album of love songs that hit No. 1 on the iTunes 100 soundtrack chart. Not bad for a movie whose $175,000 budget wouldn't even cover Johnny Depp's Pirates of the Caribbean mascara bill.
It's not like small movies can't break through in blockbuster season think My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Napoleon Dynamite but Once is doing it without the typical tropes (dysfunctional families, nerdy-cool catchphrases) that often fuel art-house phenoms. ''We were so haunted by the music, and audiences are too,'' says Fox Searchlight COO Nancy Utley, who bought the film at Sundance and has expanded it to 120 theaters so far. ''It's a discovery for people who want something different.''
That ''something'' is a sweet romance, reminiscent of the 1995 Ethan Hawke-Julie Delpy tearjerker Before Sunrise, that John Carney wrote and directed to appeal to his ''16-year-old niece with a nose ring.'' The chemistry between his two leads Glen Hansard, frontman for the Irish rock band the Frames, and Markéta Irglová, a Czech musician and acting novice was easy to produce during the January 2006 shoot in Dublin. ''I had been falling in love with her for a long time, but I kept telling myself she's just a kid,'' says Hansard, 37, who has known his 19-year-old costar for the past six years. (The two are now dating.) ''There was definitely the feeling we were documenting something precious and private.'' As it turns out, that's the one special effect money can't buy.

Career Path Options for a Reporter
The average value of the Bachelor degree needed to become a Reporters and correspondents is $781,382.00.
Points of Interest
News reporting and correspondence is one of the most competitive industries in the country. Jobs in large markets, with the highest profiles, are the most desirable and toughest to obtain. The average salary for news reporters is not very high, yet the workers endure many long and erratic hours.
Nature of the Work
News reporting and correspondence involves gathering facts, background information, and opinions about stories that are of interest to the public. Reporters and correspondents may work in either print journalism (newspapers, magazines, online) or television (network news or cable news outlets). In print, the writer is responsible for gathering and checking facts, and organizing them in a logical, literate way. As the industry has consolidated, the writer has become responsible for more aspects of the article, sometimes including the layout and the accompanying photographs. In television, journalists have increasingly more responsibilities.
They must gather facts about the story, interview sources, and edit packages to follow live shots at a location relevant to the story. This new approach is called the "one-man band" technique. In many cases, the only help they have is one photographer/camera operator. Reporters at newspapers and stations often specialize in a type of news, such as weather, sports, or entertainment. There are also general assignment reporters, which may cover any topic, and usually cover breaking general news.
Newspapers also feature opinions sections, in which editorial writers give their views on major topics of the day. Editorial writers are often persuasive and antagonistic, as their goal is to keep readers interested and make them respond. Foreign correspondents are often stationed in a country for a period of time during an ongoing news story, to give regular reports back to the newspaper or station. With the increase in technological ability of recent years, including satellite feeds and the Internet, foreign correspondents have become more able to report up-to-the-minute news, keeping their home country involved in matters around the world.
Working in the news requires a great deal of teamwork. Reporters may work in teams on stories, which can require workers to compromise perspectives and visions. Also, the nature of putting on a news broadcast or putting together a cohesive paper means individuals must work as a team. Reporters have to meet length requirements, such as word counts or minute counts, or the entire product is flawed.
The Environment
Journalists usually work in a fast-paced, hectic environment. The news is time-sensitive, and reporters work on strict deadlines (the news is broadcast at the same time every day, and the paper goes to press at the same time every day).
Some news writers have their own private offices. But many work in an open space, among the distractions of typing noises and people talking on the phone. It is important that a news reporter or correspondent not become easily distracted from the task at hand. Television reporters often work outside of the station, so they must deal with distractions from passersby and other events going on around them. They also must be able to deal with changes to plans, as the world around them will sometimes deter their plans (for instance, a perfect location for a live shot may be unavailable for some reason).
Hours for journalists vary depending on the assignments for the individual. In broadcast, reporters either work for the morning news, the midday news, or the evening news. This means their schedules may range from 3:00 AM to 11:00 AM, to 4:00 PM to 1:00 AM. For foreign correspondents, the work may not stop while they are in the foreign country. They must remain ready to send news back to the parent network at any time. Print is similar in that many reporters are assigned to either a morning or a later shift. The morning shift will write news that is older by the time the paper is published, but their deadlines may be less strict and thus their hours more flexible.
Training, Other Qualifications, and Advancement
Like this graph? You can use it on your website.
Education In order to find work, most journalists will need a degree in communications, journalism, or a closely related field. A lot of schools now divide journalism into more specific areas, such as newspapers, magazines, and broadcast news. In the former concentrations, students focus on gathering news and writing about it well. In the latter, students take production classes so that they can produce their video content entirely on their own.
In addition, grants, fellowships, and assistantships in the study of journalism help gain theoretical and practical knowledge of the field. Reporters and correspondents with more training through these programs have a an edge in understanding their field and its logistics. Qualifications Journalists must show prior work in the field before a news corporation will hire them. One of the best ways to get this experience is through internships. Interns are unpaid workers who often take college credit as compensation.
They do unglamorous work, such as getting coffee and fact-checking, but the resume line of interning at a news organization is invaluable in the job search. One may also gain experience by freelance writing or becoming a stringer at a local paper. Freelancers write and offer their work to publishers for a fee that they decide upon. Stringers write articles sporadically for generally low wages. A reporter must also show a commitment to impartiality, unless he or she is trying to land a job in the editorial department (which usually does not happen right away).
Fair reporting is the backbone of journalistic ethics, because news organizations have to report news in a way that is helpful and informative to all. Any potential reporter needs to understand the seriousness of impartiality and how it relates to the public good that journalism serves.
In the field of journalism, many workers start out as fact-checkers or copy editors before being allowed to report full-time. So in a sense, a reporter job itself is usually advancement in the field. Reporters can also advance within this position, by getting their stories and pieces featured in prime areas of the newspaper, website, or broadcast.
Some reporters aspire to become editors, and the highest position at a newspaper is that of editor-in-chief. Usually, this is the highest position one can achieve in news writing without going to a corporate job. Advancement may also be considered in terms of where a reporter works. No beginning reporter will immediately get a job in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, or any similar metropolitan market, unless it is at a very small publication in a very small role.
Instead, a reporter should look for smaller markets in which to begin a career, build up a body of work, and then progressively climb to medium-sized markets and eventually large ones. Of course, some are content to stay in the small or medium markets, which is perfectly fine.
Journalism is a relatively small job sector. In 2008, reporters and other news-gatherers held about 69,300 jobs in the United States. Over half worked in print, employed by newspapers and publishing companies. The best chance of gaining employment for a newcomer in the journalism field is through small market publications or stations. Then, through building a reel, one can begin trying to obtain one of the rarer big market jobs.
Job Outlook
The number of positions for reporters and correspondents in the print industry is expected to decrease in the coming years. As more publications contract their print editions or go completely online, the amount of content required decreases. Also, as mentioned earlier, more news outlets are having their reporters do more parts of producing a story.
For instance, a newspaper reporter may write and take photographs, while a broadcast reporter usually edits his or her own story. Fifteen years ago, they would have had separate photographers and editors. Similarly, news organizations are consolidating by lessening the amount of stories they cover or assigning more stories per reporter.
A major reason for contraction within the industry is advertising.
People are still trying to determine how best to effectively advertise in the Internet age, whether it means changing or reducing ads in print and on television, or doing away with them entirely. In the meantime, corporations are cutting down on advertising in traditional avenues, as they do not know how much exposure they are truly getting for their money.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, broadcast news analyst jobs will increase by 2018 from 7,700 to 8,000 jobs (a 4% increase), but reporter/correspondent jobs will decrease from 61,600 to 56,900 (a -8% change). This is likely due to the contraction of newspapers and the constant increase in television viewing.
In May 2008, median wages for reporters and correspondents were about $34,850, though the range extended from as low as $20,000 to higher than $77,000. The middle 50% earned between about $25,000 and $52,000. Broadcast news analysts can earn much more, with salaries into the six figures.
Related Occupations
Since news reporting requires excellent writing and communication skills, reporters may also be interested in careers in writing and editing. These positions include: Authors (publish full-length books or short stories) Writers (may work in-house for companies or freelance, writing on various subjects) Public relations specialists (organize and promote events or represent individuals to cultivate a public image). Speaking well and thinking quickly are important components of news reporting and oral communication in general.
Some careers that also employ these skills are: Announcing (such as calling sports events over the air) Interpreters and translators (requires knowledge of a second language) Retail salespersons (regularly interact with customers to sell products) Teachers (must effectively communicate knowledge and learning techniques to students of various ages)

CHELAN, Wash. — Taking about a third of the Washington apple crop, exports are an essential element of the success story of apple marketers and growers.
With ample supplies of smaller fruit expected this year and a total crop that is expected to be from 105 million to 110 million cartons, exports should be strong again in 2011-12, said Tim Evans, general manager for Chelan Fresh.
The low U.S. dollar has propelled apple exports to record levels, with the traditional markets such as Canada and Mexico performing well in addition to red hot new markets such as India.
"Exports have been real good for apples this year," said Charlie Pomianek, manager of the Wenatchee Valley Traffic Association, Wenatchee.
"If it isn't going to be a record, it will be very close," he said.
By the end of July, Washington marketers had exported 35 million boxes of apples, just shy of the all time record of 36 million boxes.
Through the end of July, Washington had shipped about 9.2 million boxes to Mexico, just shy of the 9.9 million box record.
Rebecca Baerveldt, export marketing manager for the Wenatchee-based Washington Apple Commission, said the tight markets at the end of the 2010-11 season probably limited some export sales.
"I think the consensus is that we could be shipping more fruit overseas, but we just don't have it," she said in mid-August.
About a third of the Washington apple crop is shipped outside the borders of the U.S.
Baerveldt said the growth potential of export markets contrasts with the generally flat demand for apples in the domestic market.
As crop sizes increase, Baerveldt said, marketers need to find additional export markets.
The lower value of the U.S. dollar has primed the pumps for exports, she said.
What's more, Baerveldt said exports have been buoyed by the emergence of two powerhouse apple importers — India and China.
Baerveldt said the Washington Apple Commission has export programs in 27 countries, with promotion programs focusing on the quality of Washington apples.
"We are running a campaign that highlights the healthy origin of Washington apples, a 'nature-approved' campaign. India has really expanded and has room to grow," she said.
Though the market for direct shipments to India has been active for ten years, the recent growth of the middle class in that country has spurred sales for imported fruit, particularly for red delicious apples.
In addition to pent up demand from India's middle class, Baerveldt said the rapidly developing retail sector has also caused competition for new produce items for consumers.

Quoted from Valerie I went to the Dr. and I weigh 232lbs. I was very relieved that I had not gained back to 255lbs where I started. I am still on this roller coaster ride of eating good and then going down hill. Im not beating myself up too much. I start out really strong in the morning and then become weaker and weaker before the day ends. That is a good idea Goldie about eating just a tiny bit of something that is not a good choice, but to be really honest, I can not stop at that. I justify it very well. I am sitting here taking really big breathes, cause I have come to the point that I have to do something and I am disgusted with myself with the strength. My goodness it is food! Why does it have to be sooo hard. I was reading the beginning posts when I started and I am being hard on myself. It has been three years and I could say back then, I did not know better, but I can not say that now. I feel absolutely terrible today. I know if I can stick to this for three days, I will feel so much better. I want to feel the way I did before when I was following the BTD diet so bad. It is all about change and it is so hard. Thanks for all of the words of incouragement. I just want to go to bed. I apologize for being so down. I will start again tomorrow.
Quoted from Valerie tonight when I get home, I am going to go through all of my food and give away the choices not healthy for my blood type. Then, I am getting my ER4YBT book and go the grocery store and buy all the beneficial and super foods on my list. It is a start. All I can say is, this is so hard!
Quoted from ABJoe If you tell yourself something is hard, it is, but if you tell yourself that it may be a little struggle, but it is doable and we are going to get through it for the better, it seems to go by more easily...
Quoted from Valerie I can do it is stuck on my frig and bathroom mirror. Positive thinking , baby steps and self care are the key.Thanks so much for all the support. It means everything to me.I feel better today.
Quoted Text a tea that's high in caffeine
Quoted Text First, I think you need to consider seeing a therapist/counselor. Your issues with your self esteem are heartbreaking and I think that maybe you don't really truly believe that you are worth the hard work it takes to lose weight and get healthy. That mindset needs to change.
Quoted from Valerie I seen a counselor for a year and half. I finally quit due to admitting that I was not willing to make any changes in myself. I wanted to stay a victim.

Where a person is found mentally ill in proceedings brought under chapter 71.02 RCW and committed to a state hospital, the state and not the county is liable for the cost of detention for any period of time which elapses between the entry of the order of hospitalization and the time an ambulance arrives to transport the patient to a state hospital.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
April 23, 1963
Honorable Lincoln E. ShropshireProsecuting AttorneyYakima CountyYakima, Washington
Cite as: AGO 63-64 No. 20
Dear Sir:
By letter previously acknowledged you requested an opinion of this office on a question which we paraphrase as follows:
Where a person is found mentally ill in proceedings brought under chapter 71.02 RCW (chapter 25, Laws of 1959), and committed to a state hospital, and a period of time lapses between entry of the order of hospitalization and the time an ambulance arrives to transport the patient to a state hospital, can the county be held liable for the cost of detention during such period?
We answer your question in the negative.
Your question specifically concerns the liability for "detention pending proceedings" imposed on the county by RCW 71.02.230, which states:
"After a person has been found mentally ill under RCW 71.02.200, the court shall, after reasonable notice of the time, place and purpose of the hearing has been given to persons subject to liability under this section, [[Orig. Op. Page 2]] inquire into the ability of the person's estate, or his spouse, parents or children, or any combination thereof, to pay the charges for transportation and hospitalization in a state hospital, detention pending proceedings, and court costs. If the court finds that the patient's estate or above‑named relatives, or combination thereof, are able to pay such charges or any part thereof, an order to such effect shall be entered. If the court finds that neither the patient's estate nor said relatives are able to pay the charge for transportation to and hospitalization in a state hospital, such costs shall be borne by the state of Washington. If the court finds that neither the patient's estate nor above relatives can pay charges for detention pending proceedings or court costs, such costs shall be borne by the county. When a patient is a resident of another county, the committing county shall recover from the county of the patient's residence all costs and expenses of the patient's detention and commitment." (Emphasis supplied.)
In defining statutory language the intention of the legislature must be determined by reading the statutory text as a whole and by reference to other parts of the act to ascertain the meaning of doubtful or ambiguous expressions. In re Bracken's Estate, 56 Wn. (2d) 17, 19, 351 P. (2d) 151 (1960); Sutherland, Statutory Construction, 3rd ed., Vol. 2, § 4703. Certainly, the words "pending proceedings" are not words of such art or of such common meaning that the phrase can be separated from its context and divorced from the rest of RCW 71.02.230 or from other sections of the same act without doubt as to its meaning and effect.
However, it is our opinion that any question as to the meaning of the term in relation to the issue presented is precluded by RCW 71.02.290, which provides as follows:
"The department [of institutions] shall be charged with the execution of orders of hospitalization at state hospitals and orders directing payment of hospitalization charges at such hospitals, including the transportation of persons so hospitalized." (Emphasis supplied.)
[[Orig. Op. Page 3]]
Our supreme court has specifically held that a judgment becomes operative from the time of its entry. Cinebar Coal & Coke Co. v. Robinson, 1 Wn. (2d) 620, 623, 97 P. (2d) 128 (1939). Assuming that in entering the order of hospitalization, the court directs the patient to be transported and hospitalized at a state hospital without express provision for any lapse of time or other condition precedent to the order taking effect, both law and logic compel the conclusion that there can be no time lapse between entry of the order and the vesting of the duty to execute the order. It follows that if the duty to transport the patient to a state hospital rests in the department of institutions immediately upon entry of the order, any detention of the patient that occurs thereafter must of necessity be deemed a part of and incidental to the transportation of such patient to the state hospital.
It is therefore the opinion of this office that the term "detention pending proceedings" as used in RCW 71.02.230 must be construed to impose liability on the county only for the charges of detention prior to entry of the order of hospitalization, and that the cost of any detention occurring thereafter must be viewed as an expense incident to transportation, to be borne as such according to the provisions of RCW 71.02.230.
In passing it should be mentioned that in order to avoid any administrative problems arising between the various counties and the department of institutions regarding transportation of patients, we suggest that notice of the order of hospitalization be given the designated state hospital immediately upon the entry thereof.
We trust the foregoing will be of assistance to you.
Very truly yours,
JOHN J. O'CONNELLAttorney General
GERALD C. WEAVERAssistant Attorney General

The First-Year Experience
UMBC takes a special interest in making students' first year on campus an academic and personal success.
The transition from high school or community college to a research university can be challenging. Classes are filled with other talented students, and instructors have high standards and expectations. This can be both stimulating and overwhelming. UMBC takes a special interest in supporting students so their first year on campus is an academic and personal success. Students are welcomed into a diverse community where individuals demonstrate a strong sense of respect for one another. In addition, students are expected to uphold the highest ethical standards in their work and to respect and value the work of others through a commitment to academic integrity.
Although we expect students to strive to do excellent work, we know that success is not a goal attained solely through strong academic work. Other factors that have a profound impact on student success include the kinds of personal connections students make to the campus and the level of engagement each student has with his or her own educational experience. The offerings described below are open to all students at UMBC during their first year on campus, including students just beginning their higher education and those transferring to UMBC from another institution. They are designed to help students find an intellectual and social home. Becoming involved in these activities during the first year will help facilitate the transition to college life and prepare students for a successful outcome to their undergraduate experience.
- Collegiate Summer Institute (CSI), Summer Bridge Program
- New Student Book Experience (Orientation/Welcome Week)
- First-Year Academic Seminars (FYS)
- Introduction to an Honors University (IHU), First-Year Success Courses
- Transfer Student Seminars (TRS)
- Living Learning Communities (LLCs) - Described under the section entitled "Life on the UMBC Campus"
Collegiate Summer Institute, Summer Bridge Program
CSI@UMBC is a summer bridge program designed for students interested in getting a head start on their college experience. During this six-week program, participants have an opportunity to earn four to seven credits, learn what it takes to be a successful student, and discover the UMBC campus and the surrounding area. Students also participate in the University's "Introduction to an Honors University" (IHU) seminar which is designed to address transition issues as well as support students in developing the skills needed to reach their academic goals. During the IHU portion of the class, students become familiar with the many resources and opportunities that UMBC offers. Although the summer bridge program has an academic focus which helps students get to know faculty and staff, participants also engage in interesting on- and off-campus activities in which they get to know each other — creating a peer support system that last well beyond the summer experience.
New Student Book Experience (NSBE)
Each year current students and faculty select a book for new student summer reading. All new students are expected to read the selected text and join in a campus-wide conversation about the book during Welcome Week in August. Small-group discussions for all entering students are facilitated by UMBC faculty and staff. These discussions allow everyone to come together to get a taste of the kind of discussion that is typical of university courses. The program connects new freshmen and transfer students with each other and with faculty and staff, as well as student leaders, at the start of the academic year. The New Student Book Experience provides an intellectually stimulating interaction that welcomes new students into the UMBC community. This shared experience provides students with an opportunity to discuss ideas that relate to a common text in an environment where different interpretations are examined and discussed. Students also have the opportunity to participate in the Barbara Simon Memorial Essay Contest.
First-Year Academic Seminars (FYS)
First-Year Seminars provide new students with the opportunity to get to know a faculty member well and connect with peers through small seminar classes. Faculty, with deep commitments to undergraduate education and special interests they want to share with students, offer customized first-year academic seminars designed to introduce students to the academic excitement and rigor of a top-tier research university. First-Year Seminars are limited to 20 students, so participants have direct access to a full-time faculty member with whom they can engage and get to know well. In this way, new students face the challenges of an academically rigorous course with the support of a faculty member committed to their success. In this active learning environment, faculty partner with students in the exploration of course material. The courses incorporate creative and critical thinking, a focus on written and oral communication skills, research skills, and significant opportunities for discussion and faculty/peer critiques of assignments.
FYS courses may be used to meet a general education program requirement, provided the course carries this type of designation.
- Students may have one FYS class in their GEP profile.
- If the course selected is in the arts/humanities (AH) or social sciences (SS) areas, in which students must complete three courses in each area, if one of the courses applied is an FYS course then the two remaining courses must come from two different disciplines. In addition, many FYS courses also meet the mathematics (M), sciences (S) and culture (C) requirements.
Examples of past FYS offerings:
- Images of Madness (SS)
- Sexuality, Health, and Human Rights (SS)
- Vienna 1900 (C)
- Sustainability in American Culture (AH)
- Crime Busting with Mathematics and Statistics (M)
For a list of current first-year seminars, visit www.umbc.edu/undergrad_ed/fys
Introduction to an Honors University (IHU), First-Year Success Courses
IHU courses provide an introduction to the higher education experience in a personalized setting and are open to all new students at UMBC. These one-credit experiences are often attached to introductory courses in the major and/or to courses that meet a core general education requirement. Participation in an IHU helps set the stage for academic success at UMBC. They are designed to help new students:
- Clarify academic expectations and develop essential academic skills. In these courses students have an opportunity to develop and improve their academic skills in relationship to specific course content.
- Improve study skills and the ability to manage time, and strengthen written and oral communication skills. Students discuss strategies for academic success that apply directly to the academic content of the core course. Students who participate in an IHU experience have a higher level of early success at UMBC than those who do not participate and the skills acquired contribute to their success throughout their academic career.
- Become active members of the UMBC community. Complementing the work done in the classroom are the many out of class activities that broaden a student's UMBC experience. These opportunities include participation in clubs and organizations, leadership development, internships, athletics, intramurals and a variety of other activities that can enhance personal development and students' future success. The IHU courses assist students in learning about these campus opportunities and how to get involved.
- Maximize personal development and self-awareness. Students will develop connections with other students with whom they will interact as they participate in campus activities, form study groups and learn about resources that are available for personal and academic support. In addition, students have an opportunity to get to know faculty and staff who have an interest in helping them to identify their goals and develop strategies for reaching those goals.
To participate in one of the "Introduction to an Honors University" seminars, look for courses that carry the letter "Y" after the course number in the Schedule of Classes.
As of academic year 2013-2014 courses that have a "Y" seminar (IHU) attached include:

Transfer Student Seminar (TRS 201)
These one or two-credit courses are designed to assist in the successful transition of transfer students from their previous college or university to UMBC. Seminars focus on familiarizing new transfer students with the academic expectations of the University and their major department while providing opportunities for students to develop further the skills needed to achieve success at an Honors University. The material covered will complement the work that is being done in upper-level courses in the major, and it will contain academic material selected by the Department that has been identified as critical to the success of transfer students in that particular major.
Current offerings include:
- TRS 201 in Chemical Engineering
- TRS 201 in Computer Science

Rated 5 out of 5 by fuzzyhead What a Great Bag!
i got this bag in British tan. The color is so beautiful! I am 5 ft 7 inches and this purse fits nicely on my shoulder and lays perfect crossbody too. It is small but can hold my medium size wallet, comb, smart phone, keys, gum and misc with still room for a little more. It is light weight and very easy to carry. I definitely encourage others to get this purse if they need a small purse. Its the best I have seen!

Back to the classics. I love it. I have been a Coach customer for about 30 years and the re-issue of this fantastic bag brought me back to the old days. I purchased this bag in mahogany as a match to my mahogany Coach Men's Bleecker Duffle. It is a great combination and I travel in style.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Icthus Practical, Attractive, Wonderful!
Admittedly, I am a legacy Coach fan. I have this purse in black and have used it for the past several months in all kinds of situations but it's real value is in shopping. The inside can be compartmentalized to even hold my 12 oz bottle of water upright! The pocket just under the flap easily holds the credit card "wallet" so I don't have to open the whole purse. The outside pocket is perfect for the receipts. In addition to the practicality, this purse is a workhorse. I've tossed it into the car innumerable times but it shows no evidence of my somewhat rough treatment. No scratches, no mars. It's a great purse and well worth it. I'm now ordering it in another color. Thanks, Coach, for making this purse.

His work in transportation economics centers on travel-demand forecasting as a vehicle for studying the potential of Intelligent Transportation Systems technologies, and congestion-pricing policies to reduce highway congestion and improve welfare. Austin has also recently helped initiate a study of the economic implications of potential policies toward utility-generated mercury emissions, including the posting of fish advisories. With this work, he again takes up the modeling of aquatic effects of atmospheric pollutant deposition, for which he developed a detailed, integrated-assessment model of Maryland's principal aquatic ecosystems.
His work has been published in The American Economic Review, the Journal of Regulatory Economics, the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, and Contemporary Economic Policy, among others.
Dr. Austin is a member of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists. He received his Bachelor's degree in mathematics from Stanford University, his Master's degree in statistics from Yale University, and his Ph.D. in economics from the University of California at Berkeley.
Alan Balutis is the Director of the Advanced Technology Program. He came to Washington in 1975 as a National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA) Fellow. He worked in a variety of budget, personnel, policy and legislation, and management analysis positions at the then-Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) before coming to the Department of Commerce in 1979. At HEW, he was a member of a small staff assembled to implement major Departmental reorganization, involving several programs with a combined budget of over $52 billion and more than 10,000 employees.
Prior to coming to Washington, he served as an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the State University of New York at Buffalo and worked with the New York State Legislature and the National Conference of State Legislatures.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
27 As the psalmist said, "He laid them low, one and all; he walked all over them." When Scripture says that "he walked all over them," it's obvious that he couldn't at the same time be walked on. | 27 For he "has put everything under his feet." Now when it says that "everything" has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. |

Flood Mitigation Board Approves $264 Million Flood Protection Funds
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA (CBS2/FOX28) -- The city of Cedar Rapids received some good news on Wednesday when city officials were awarded $264 million from the state Flood Mitigation Project in Des Moines.
Over the next 20 years, the money -- redirected state dollars from the growth in sales tax revenue -- will all go to flood protection efforts on both sides of the river.
"First of all, it's an answer to all of the wishes that we had that there would be flood protection for both sides of the river," said Northwest Neighborhood Neighbors Association president Linda Seger.
As construction crews work to put in a foundation just down the street from the association on the old A&W lot, Seger said she is hopeful that the money will bring even more developers to the northwest side of town.
She said Ellis Boulevard has endless potential.
"I think we're a destination in the city that brings another depth to this whole four quadrants that were hit directly by the flood," she said.
And the entire city will be safer, according to the plans.
The proposed system includes:
6.24 miles of permanent and removable levees and flood walls11 pump stations21 roadway and railroad gates
Flood prone bridge improvementsThe design for a second river crossing Outgoing city council member Don Karr said he wants to see the city get input from neighbors on how those plans will roll out.
"I think that's going to be huge because it's going to affect their lives and their children's lives and their grand-children's lives for the rest of their lives, and I think that citizen input is important," Karr said.
Karr gave Mayor Ron Corbett credit for helping to create the idea for funding this flood protection. The Flood Mitigation Project will redirect the growth in sales tax dollars back to these projects in cities all across the state, including Iowa City, Coralville, and Dubuque.
In Cedar Rapids, the system will protect flood prone areas to the 2008 flood levels. Corbett said, it's been a long road worth traveling.
"It's just been a great team, a lot of passionate people that care about this community, and the state recognized that, and I think that's why they gave us our full award today," Corbett said.
The city applied for the flood protection dollars last month.

I read this book two years ago and thought it was a great read. I just finished reading it again and have to say that I liked it even more the second time around. I should warn you however, that if you're looking for lighthearted summer reading that'll lull you into complacency and make you feel all warm and fuzzy about the world- stick to Oprah's book list. The only warm fuzzies you'll find in this very informative and well-written book are the microbes and viruses that make up the subject matter. Laurie Garrett has done a masterful job of chronicling the spread of infectious diseases over the last 50 years. The book is divided into sections that give the history of the rise (and in one or two cases- the fall) of the major pandemics of this century. The chapter on AIDS is worth the price of the book alone and should be required reading for political science students. It's the perfect case study on how apathy, intolerance, ignorance and political infighting foster the... read more
With recent news blurbs concerning the possible threat from strains of the West Nile virus in the northeastern part of the country this summer, the urgent importance of this book is quietly being reinforced. This important effort by journalist Laurie Garrett is a whopper; a long, carefully documented and quite readable text giving an overview of the worldwide efforts of the "insect fighters' at the Center for Disease Control (CDC) of the U.S. Public Health Service and other agencies ranging from the U.N to state, university and local agencies to combat a panoply of both new biological agents like HIV, Ebola, and the West Nile virus as well as new and much more virulent and drug-resistant strains of old enemies like tuberculosis, bubonic plague, a number of venereal diseases, and complex new public health concerns like Toxic Shock Syndrome. Ms Garrett's highly detailed and exhaustively documented thesis, written while on a graduate fellowship at Harvard, is both... read more
"The Coming Plague" is 620 pages of densely-packed text on humanity's war against its deadliest enemies. Throughout the twentieth century and into the new millenium, we've given our microscopic enemies glorious new opportunities to exploit us, whether it be through war, slash-and-burn agriculture, or stagnant water in an air-conditioning system. Laurie Garrett has written a fascinating and frightening account of some of the battles we almost won (measles and polio) and some where we appear to be in full retreat (AIDS, drug-resistant tuberculosis). Her book is especially compulsive reading when she describes the individual skirmishes in the war, e.g. a journey into the African bush to identify and treat a disease that was killing 80% of its victims, or the discovery that cholera vibrio could live inside of algae and didn't require person-to-person transmission. Even if you live in the middle of the Canadian tundra and have sworn off eating mollusks for the rest of your... read more

About 1BadHabit1970's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
Well, you could say I should have been a boy......at least that's what Daddy was hoping for. But he got ME. I started loving cars around 5 years old. Why? Cause my Dad was a true and talented mechanic and dearly treasured and loved CARS. So I grew to be a tomboy, and helped out in the garage anytime I could. I took many engines apart for my Dad but he was the master of making Hot Rods, Street Rods and "sleepers". I started driving around 6, by sitting on Dad's lap, while he "supervised" I would shift and was able to touch all petals, as I was tall for my age, (still am) and like Alan Jackson song......."When Daddy let me Drive" sums it all up. Also the song "Chrome" by Trace Adkins!!!
I saw, drove and was able to enjoy many neat and awesome cars due to Dad. He passed away when I was 20 and for many years the "cars" sat in Mom's garage. 3 1947 Fords with 327 Chev enginers, 2 1956 Thunderbirds, one Robin's Egg Blue, the other Raven Black, (still have the 56 black bird only 22,000 original miles) 2 American Bantams, a Shelby Mustang from 1960's, and my own "collection" as I got to driving age
I had a ton off Trans Am's, Firebirds and any Ford with a big motor then one day.......went CHEV......been a Chev girl ever since. My dream car was always the 1970 Chevelle SS 454 / Blue w/ white stripes. Which I found Aug of 2009 in Virginia and brought her home to Kansas City. I cried for a week and kept going out to garage to make sure I wasn't dreaming !!!!
I am now a tomboy who can dress in boots and jeans to black dress and heels. As long as I can drive........I will. I ALWAYS wanted to be a Race Car driver, Drag or Circle but "back then" girls didn't do that............HELLO? I am living my dream now, and joining up with a driving school out of Ohio to earn my way onto the track. Who says we have to grow up? Not me!!!!!
I am OLD SCHOOL thru and thru. Love Rat Rods, 32 Rodsters and all GM Muscle from the 60's and 70's.
My first car

Wow ... I just noticed a local supplier of Persil is carrying some items from this line ... Terra Activ.
I'd never heard of it so I did a search. Henkel (same makers of Persil). Interesting ... if I get a chance, I'll give it a try. Just thought some on the forum might be interested. |

Further "surfing" lead me to the attached document. Who knew ... this product line has been around for quite some time (never heard of it before today). "Also in the case of the liquid laundry detergents from Terra Activ, introduced in April 2009, the essential appeal lies in the optimum balance offered, with high environmental compatibility combining with good performance. Over 60 percent of the surfactants - i.e. the wash-active substances - used in Terra Activ laundry detergents are likewise based on renewable raw materials. At the same time, these products generate high levels of laundry power to give the wash a sparkling cleanliness - achieved at just 20 degrees Celsius. "Only if the laundry is clean after the washing process can there be any payoff from an environmentally aware approach," explains Thomas Tönnesmann, Marketing Manager for Henkel's laundry and home care products in Germany. Through these developments, the company is able to satisfy key consumer demands while making a valuable contribution to sustainable development. That is why Henkel received not only the "Ecologically Committed Company" accolade but also a special award for its new Terra Activ laundry detergents." I would be curious if anyone on the forum has tried any of the products. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Henkel Recognized for Ecological Commitment
I haven't tried those products, but I can tell you that Proctor & Gamble has just as much "ecological commitment" as Henkel, if not more. PG is also pouring a lot of research into developing more effective surfactants from plant-based feedstocks. And PG has put a lot of research into surfactants and cleaners that work at lower wash temperatures to reduce energy needed to heat the water. These low-temp surfactants are already in Tide Coldwater formulations. Europe is starting to move in this direction, but less aggressively than PG. Europeans are more in love with hot water for cleaning (and rightly so IMO). There is a consortium of companies and government agencies that research and publish about the environmental impacts of detergent ingredients (as well as health impacts), and I can tell you that of that list of maybe 30 companies, PG published like 75% of the research. PG is also investing heavily in "nano" research requiring cluster computing using thousands of computer processors to model the reactions that take place in cleaning, with the aim of developing better-performing cleaners from plants, with low manufacturing energy requirements, that are safe for humans and the environment. PG has also quietly changed its formulations over the years to be more "sustainable" or environmentally-friendly. Some products, like Tide and Gain HE powders, contain sodium percarbonate, which OTHER companies heavily market as environmentally-friendly. It's interesting to me that PG doesn't market Tide/Gain etc with any environmental claims. The reason is that they have carefully built the Tide brand to represent the best cleaning, and they know that consumers associate eco-friendly products with poor cleaning. Even as they slowly change the product to be more "sustainable," they don't tell the Tide consumer about it. Henkel likewise has developed Persil as the premium-cleaning brand in Germany. Creating a new brand name for "eco" detergent tells me that Henkel knows it doesn't clean as well as Persil. Henkel does not want to hurt Persil's brand. I've extensively compared Persil and Tide powder formulations. While they are extremely similar, the small differences make TIDE the more eco-friendly choice of the two. Persil includes sodium chloride, which can have negative environmental impacts, and a small amount of phosphates to counter the corrosive effect of the sodium chloride, and perhaps some longer-chained surfactants, which do not biodegrade as well. I read somewhere that Europe will completely ban phosphates in the near future, so Persil's formulations will change, and I'm sure the brands will tout their environmental friendliness (not trying to sound cynical here, this is just the way it is). |

"Henkel likewise has developed Persil as the premium-cleaning brand in Germany. Creating a new brand name for "eco" detergent tells me that Henkel knows it doesn't clean as well as Persil. Henkel does not want to hurt Persil's brand." I'm pretty sure you cannot say "what" exactly Henkel's reasons are. It may have something to do with the fact that the name, Persil, is derived from two of its original ingredients, perborate and silicate (the name is deemed unsuitable as an international brand, as it is hard to pronounce in some languages). I certainly didn't post this information to start a debate on whose more environmental. Most of these big companies will become "environmental" when their bottom line requires them to (as they see money starting to divert into the "green" market). Tide and Gain are hardly environmental (IMO). One of the biggest things is becoming less dependant on fossil fuel. I don't believe any of their laundry products fall into that category. I also don't think just comparing two lists of ingredients makes anyone an expert on the formulations. I can tell you, from years spend in the health and beauty segment, formulations are more than just the raw ingredients. There are other factors (as in ... what reacts with what to cause what). |

I'm not promoting Seventh Generation but I thought this video illustrates how we can reduce our use of fossil fuel by choosing more "environmental" products. I used their liquid once and found it too sudsy for my FL machine. I gave it to my mom who still has a TL. I am temted to try their powder as I read recently that Cosumer Reports ranked it high among green options. "Our tests also include more detergents that claim plant-based, hypoallergenic formulas. Kirkland Signature Free & Clear Ultra 2X (Costco) and Seventh Generation Natural Powdered HE are two "greener" detergents that cleaned reasonably well. But products by Biokleen, Ecos, Method, and, yes, Martha Stewart delivered spottier results." |

Bi-O-Kleen Premium powder (not tested by Consumer Reports) cleans extremely well. I would put it on the same playing field as Tide. I've used it and seen how well it cleans. Almost all the reviews on Amazon are positive - it's very highly rated. Personally I don't like that it lacks ingredients to protect your washer from corrosion, but I don't remember seeing a "green" product with those ingredients anyway. Maybe they aren't necessary? |
- Posted by livebetter (My Page) on Fri, Oct 22, 10 at 23:54
@sshrivastava, what are anti corrosion ingredients (I'm not familiar with their chemical names)? I pulled this list for Tide HE from their website. Nothing is specifically labelled as anti corrosion. Do you know what ingredient it is? Original Scent I also pulled this list for Seventh Generation Powder. It lists something as an anti redeposition ingredient. I would assume that applies to clothes and washer parts. Laundry Powder, White Flower & Bergamot Citrus I have BioKleen Premium and I like it. I have never tried SG powder although I think it is no longer available in Canada so I would have to order on line (I order BioKleen on line too as it's not available here either). I gave Persil Megaperls another shot tonight with 4 rinses and I still cannot tolerate the scent so I'm on the hunt for a good cleaning powder for my FL that does not contain OBs. Sigh .... |
- Posted by sshrivastava (My Page) on Sat, Oct 23, 10 at 0:05
I believe the anti-corrosion ingredients go by the name of sodium silicate, sodium metasilicate or sodium disilicate. According to Wikipedia it's also known as "liquid glass" or "water glass". |

The place I buy Persil from sent me a small trial bottle of the TerraActiv months ago. The one they sent was a universal liquid detergent (for whites?) Anyhow, it paled in comparison. Persil removes the scuff marks on the bottoms of white socks completely. TerraActiv not so much. I also didn't love the fragrance. Obviously, it's just my experience. |
