It's been too rainy and especially windy (scapes wave around too much) to get usable pictures, sorry.
What a strange, hot, long season!
Ci, I think Fragrant Blue may be a little out of sync if it bloomed normally for me. It was around first of August here.
Of course, we had a lot of rain, and that may have boosted it a bit.
Right now, mama plantaginea is blooming for the first time in Alabama, and she is probably going to be the end of it all. But, I think it was Honeybells and Fried Bananas still in bloom, and a purple one too......Paradise Sunrise? (or is it Paradise Sunset, I hate it when that happens to me)...which is RE-blooming.
Had to lose a couple of weeks in the garden due to a sore foot and dental surgery, but now I'M BACK!!!! Just in time to plant the two orders which arrived Thursday and Friday from Hallsons and Don Rawson. Of course it poured rain today, and dampened my enthusiasm some....but I at least unloaded all the mulch and bags of manure from the car...in the rain.

Only a few cucumbers at a time...
I mistakenly only planted a handful of pickling cucumber plants this year, so only have a few cucumbers ripe at one time.
Does anyone know of a recipe where I can add cucumbers as I pick them into a large container in the refrigerator? If I use a refrigerator pickle recipe, is there any safety concern by adding pickles several at a time?
Or if I ferment them, could I add a few at a time?
Thank you for your help!
Agree with Linda. The problem with trying to add a few at a time is that the brine quickly gets diluted by the water in the cukes. Then bacteria and stuff can grow in it and the pickle flavor is weak and 'off'.
We've had several discussions here about this issue lately as it is a common problem for those new to making pickles and the recommendation is always the same - you either have to grow more cukes (12-15 plants) to have enough to make a batch at one time or you have to make small pint or smaller batches as your cukes become available. Trying to store the cukes for several days until you get enough only results in mushy pickles since they need to be fresh picked at pickle making time.

In Frogger Returns, players are thrown back into the hustle and bustle of city life to guide their amphibious friend, Frogger, from the city back to his home marsh.
Frogger Returns stays true to the classic arcade gameplay style, but is enhanced with improved graphics, a new camera angle, and new levels. Streets, sewers, subways, and numerous other obstacles and enemies are in play - all for the sake of keeping Frogger away from returning home!
But Frogger isn't surrounded by just hurdles; new power-ups including time reverse, invincibility and time freeze also aid Frogger in his travels.
Frogger Returns boasts a game 12 times the size of the original, crisp 3D graphics and local multiplayer capabilities. Players can go head-to-head in timed capture-the- pad races, as well as compete with friends by showing off their best scores. With a 25-year legacy, innovative controller options and extended levels, Frogger Returns provides all players the ultimate casual and core gaming experience.
Frogger Returns has no review on Wii's World.

This slippery slope to divorce is steep — and it's picking up speed
Ellie advises a man who comes home exhausted and ends up fighting with his wife, usually about money.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Q: After 20 years of marriage, my wife and I can no longer communicate. I feel she doesn't listen. She says I'm unreasonable. Conversations become arguments.
She complains that I don't do enough with our three kids. She works one day a week. My business requires long hours. When I get home, I need downtime. But this is when we fight, many times about finances.
Although I earn decent money, I feel burdened by her needless expenditures.
Our sex life is mediocre. I'm willing to go to a marriage counsellor; she says she doesn't need one. Are we on a slippery slope to divorce?
Frustrated Husband
A: Yes, this slope to divorce is steep, and adding speed. She's very angry. Raising three kids is also a job with long hours, even when they're away at school. There are activities to arrange, laundry, meals, driving, etc.
Back out of the power struggle: You control money and time; she controls home and conversation. Your agreed budget should include discretionary money for her to spend. She's a partner, not an employee.
You're both locked in contrary positions. Do something different — include the kids in a refreshing downtime by taking them to a gym or kicking a soccer ball around outside.
Have a family outing on the weekend. Cook dinner one night. Set up a date night to go out together. Sex improves once the relaxation and fun improves. If nothing works, or one of you doesn't try, counselling plus a divorce lawyer are your next steps.
Q: My husband of eight years is a great guy; we get along 90 per cent of the time, and have fun together. However, he's had no interest in sex for four and a half years. I gave up even trying to have sex two years ago.
I'm 33, and don't want to live with a roommate forever. He won't go to a doctor to see if something's wrong. Is divorce my only option?
Frustrated Wife
A: See above, for the similarities: You two are also in fixed positions — he won't have sex, you won't even try.
Something has to change. But if you head straight to the divorce option, you're not trying the many simpler and easier approaches.
He's either scared of finding out what's wrong sexually or controlling your relationship because of something else that's wrong.
Speak up and tell him that either he is open with you or you will leave. Remind him that divorce is not an easy change. By contrast, a medical problem can be treated; a relationship issue can be helped through counselling.
And a sexual orientation issue, if that's relevant, can be discussed, and understood a lot better than his rejection.
Q: I'm a senior citizen, dating another senior for the past year. He broke up with a girlfriend of eight years to start dating me. My problem is that they still frequently speak on the telephone.
He tells me there is no romance, that she's a nice lady and a good friend. However, it annoys me. Am I being petty?
Different Rules for Seniors?
A: If you both believe this is a serious relationship, then your feelings have to count. He was close to this other woman long term, slept with her. It's natural that you'd feel somewhat uncomfortable.
He should introduce you so you can see them interact and she can see you as a couple. He should also cut back their contact to an occasional catch-up call, since you're the primary lady and friend in his life now.
Withholding intimate conversation and/or sex is an unfair power struggle with no winner.

How to make dogs stay away
My daughter just moved into a mobile home and next door neighbor have rotweilers and many other dogs in and around their home ,some running loose.
The rotweilers sit on her steps and block her door when she's trying to get into her home and are mean looking.
She's talked to the owners of these pets and they keep saying they will do something about it but of course nothing is done
The landlord doesn't seem to care one way or the other; and calling the police and animal control has just resulted into making a hostile environment and has not stopped them from letting their dogs run loose when the authorties leave.
There is a leash law in this area but evidently it's not enforced.
The home is reasonably priced and other from these uncontrolled pets is a very nice and quiet neighborhood.
My question Is;
Is there a spray or horn/whistle that would drive these dogs away while she is getting in and out of her car or just sitting in the yard.
Thanks for your help and have a very nice weekend.
First have your daughter document all of the contact she has had with the neighbors, the manager and the animal control officers, times dates, who she spoke with and what was said especially their response. She need to be specific adding as much detail as possible, then she needs to take a good week and photograph the dogs on her property, if you can get someone to video tape her attempting to shoo the dogs off the property, even better, especially if they dont respond. Then she can go to the sporting good store and get and air horn and or some pepper spray. First before using the spray or the horn....She should advise the manager - not the neighbors, of what she has done to try and resolve the problem and what she will do if the problem persists THIS SHOULD BE DONE IN WRITING if she can put up a gate to keep the dogs out, it would be better than to use a horn or spray the dogs. The fault is not with the dogs it is with the owners and the mangement - apparently they are comfortable with the situation and will do little to change it because there is no recourse.
MIND THIS MAY GET GNARLY - the owners might react hostilly to having their dogs sprayed, so use the horn first. With the spray they might even take the dogs to the vet and try to slap a vet bill on your daughter. Putting up a gate would be the best way since it is not interacting with the dogs. She should also try to spray the area with keep away dog spray or put out some bottles of opened bleach - put the bleach in a bucket so it does not over turn. Putting out bleach bottles is the cheapest least invasive way to hopefully resolve the issue, bleach is inexpensive and retains its nasty smell for quiet awhile. But whatever she does she needs to document everything going on. It sounds like this might be the tip of a titanic type of iceberg. Good luck
Your daughter is renting, right? Since the landlord doesn't seem to care I don't see much hope of the situation improving any time soon.
If it were my daughter I'd be advising her to start looking for another place. Are these really neighbors she wants to continue dealing with on a long-term basis and if she's able to get the dogs off her front step is she going to have to deal with barking dogs in the near future?
Rottweilers are mean looking in general, but all the ones I've known are big babies. If your daughter isn't comfortable being around dogs then she doesn't need to start using strong sprays or horns around them.
If she wants to stay in that location, then I'd suggest she ask the owner to come over and show/explain the commands she needs to use in order to get the dogs to move out of her way. But, since you said it has already become a hostile environment, you may have to toss that idea out the window.
Were the dogs around when she initially looked at the place?
It sounds like the best solution is to fence in her own yard and mobile home. Probably not the least expensive remedy, but the most certain to restore her peace of mind. Steel posts and 5' page wire should do the job.
Fighting the apathy of the dogs' owner and the police, to say nothing of the trouble of documenting every incident, hiring an attorney, etc etc will only cause stress and rack up huge bills.
Actually, it seems obvious the dogs mean her no harm, since you did not say anything about the dogs actually hurting her.
If she were to carry some small treats and occasionally give them one, she would have wonderful protection from thieves.
She could do all the things recommended and try to stop the problem. Or, she could use the dogs as a theft deterrant.
Now, if they leave unwanted gifts in her yard, usually bagging those up and leaving the bag on the owners porch gets attention. Not in front of the door---just prominently in sight.
Pleas DO NOT TRY AND FEED THESE DOGS TREATS...This is a great way to get bit. Plus you dont know if the dogs are on a special diet. Using opened bleach bottles is the cheapest and probably most effective way to keep the dogs off the property, they can be placed at the property line and on any patio, a gate is the next best solution since it provides a physical barrier. I also dont suggest squirting a dog with water, some dogs ike to get water splashed on them, they may get excited and bump into or knock over someone....not a great idea.
As much as I love dogs I completely respect other peoples interactions with dogs, if someone does not like dogs or is afraid of them, that needs to be respected. I think in this case, the daughter has every right to have her property dog free.
You can always try what I did for my neighbors dog that he let run loose. I got some plain elastic and made an easy slip on loop with a baggie attached. Inside the baggie I wrote a note,"I am not a bad dog but I do bad things because my owner is dumb enough to let me run loose to annoy people and maybe even get hit by a car" That worked with one neighbor the first time I did it.
Another neighbor blew it off. So, I leashed his dog the next time he showed his face on my property and called animal control to come and get him. Animal control usually doesn't like to get in a he said/she said type of confrontation, because a wandering dog usually goes back home before they can respond to pick them up. But if you call the dispatcher and tell them that you have the dog captured, they'll usually come out and pick him up. And if they don't respond, call your muncipal representative or county supervisor.
Absolutely nobody should be afraid to enter or leave their own property because a large, mean looking dog or dogs are blocking their way. Whether they mean no harm is moot....it's the feelings they elicit in your daughter that's the point. Rotties can be protective, and God knows they are powerful dogs, capable of inflicting some serious harm. Add to that a pack mentality when two or more gather together and it's nothing to make assumptions about.
I don't know how people who so obviously disregard regulations and common sense about their own animals can even begin to muster up resentment or hostility when somebody complains or asks them to comply. Those are typical 'all about me' bullies who if they can't pull her chains with their dogs, will intimidate her themselves. They've got you over a barrel and they know it. You can either move or back down. It's a sick way for society to get.

Electrovaya of Ontario, Canada, may be one of the smaller and quieter sellers of tablets, but it makes a loud statement with its $2,299 Scribbler SC-2000. Perfect for a full day of work, this 3.6-pound slate is all business, with more than five hours of battery life, one of the thinnest designs around, a nice array of features, and a few unexpected luxuries. Unfortunately, it falls short on performance and warranty.
Built around a textured-magnesium case, the SC-2000 has a sophisticated and rugged look that hides its 1.2GHz Pentium M processor, 256MB of memory, and 30GB hard drive. The SC-2000 offers a speedier alternative to Motion Computing's 1GHz M1300 , but it can't keep up with Fujitsu T3010's 1.4GHz speed limit. At 0.9 by 11.9 by 9.2 inches and 3.6 pounds, the SC-2000 is among the smallest and lightest of the second-generation slate tablets. Along with its seven-ounce AC adapter, the SC-2000 has a travel weight of less than 4 pounds.
Next to a smaller tablet with a 10.4-inch display, the SC-2000's 12.1-inch XGA screen seems immense, but it looks tiny compared to Acer's mammoth 14-inch tablet. An Intel Extreme Graphics processor taps into up to 64MB of the system's memory, and the display automatically adjusts its brightness to its lighting environment but takes 20 seconds to change.
Aimed at businesses, the SC-2000 has a fingerprint detector that generally allows access on the first try. With its standard assortment of controls, it's easy to get the hang of this tablet. It adds a helpful nub for Enter and scrolling, and the pen's coiled tether keeps it from getting lost.
Connections include a pair of USB ports, a VGA port for an external monitor, a FireWire port, audio ports, a Type II PC Card slot, and networking ports for LAN and modem. The SC-2000 also has an 802.11b radio, but it lacks a flash memory slot.

Labiatae (Lamiaceae) family, which comprises about
alvia is a fascinating plant genus and
one of the wide- spread members of the
900 herbs and shrubs, growing in the temperate and
warmer zones of the world.
Fifty-eight species of the genus are found in Iran,
seventeen of which are endemic [1,2]. There are a
number of literature reports essential oils of this genus
[3-6]. Dried leaves of some species of Salvia are
commonly used as herbal tea, food flavoring and as
sources of an essential oil. The oil is utilized mainly
in the food, cosmetic, perfumery and pharmaceutical
industries [7], for their antimicrobial activities [8,9].
Other species of Salvia have been studied for their
protective effects such as anti-lipidic peroxidation [10],
cardioactive [11], antispasmodic [12] and antioxidant
activity [13]. The most well-known of this genus is
Salvia officinalis, which has been credited with a
long list of medicinal uses: spasmolytic, antiseptic,
astringent[14–17]. Antioxidant and antitumor activities
were also found in Salvia miltiorrhiza [18, 19].
Tanshen, the rhizome of Salvia miltiorrhiza
Bunge., has been used in Chinese traditional medicine
for multiple therapeutic remedies. Tanshen has been
used primarily for the treatment of coronary heart
disease, particularly angina pectoris and myocardial
infarction [20]. It has also been included for the
treatment of hemorrhage, dysmenorrhea, miscarriage,
swelling and insomnia [21,22], as well as inflammatory
diseases such as edema, arthritis and endangitis [23].
Chronic hepatitis and liver fibrosis have also been
treated with Tanshen for centuries [24]. The genus
Salvia, including some Iranian species, has been
studied chemically and the presence has been reported
of terpenoids, even the rare sesterterpenes [25,26],
essential oils [27] and flavonoids [28].
In this paper, we describe the analysis of essential
oils obtained from the aerial parts of S. glutinosa and
the antibacterial activity of methanolic extract of this
Plant material: Aerial parts of Salvia glutinosa
L. were collected during blossoming from wild
populations. The plants were collected in August 2007
at an altitude of ca. 1750 m near the city of Amol,
Mazandaran, Iran; Voucher being deposited in the
Herbarium. The herb materials were kept immediately
after harvesting in a shady and well-aired place for
15 days. Then, the dry plant materials were packed
in paper bags and kept in a dark, dry and cool place.
Before being used, the aerial parts were cut into small
pieces and subjected to hydrodistillation for 3 h using
Clevenger apparatus. The oils were obtained using
n-pentane as a collecting solvent and subsequently
were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and stored
in amber vials at 4 °C until they were analyzed.
Analysis: GC analysis was performed on a
Shimadzu GC-15A equipped with a split/splitless
injector (250 °C) and a flame ionization detector
(250 °C). Nitrogen was used as carrier gas (1 mL/min).
The capillary column used was DB-5 (50 m × 0.2 mm,
film thickness 0.32 mm). The column temperature was
kept at 60 °C for 3 min and then heated to 220 °C with
a 5 °C/min rate and kept constant at 220 °C for 5 min.
Relative percentage amounts were calculated from
peak area using a Shimadzu C-R4A chromatopac
without the use of correction factors.
GC/MS: Analysis was carried out using a Hewlett-
Packard 6890-5973 GC-MS operating in EI at 70 eV,
equipped with a Hp-5MS capillary Silica column
(30m×0.25 mm, film thickness 0.25 μm) and split/

splitless injector (250 °C). The initial temperature of
the column was 60 °C for 3min and was heated to 220
°C at a rate of 5 oC/min. Helium was used as the carrier
gas at a flow rate of 1ml/min.
The retention indices for all the components were
determined according to the van den Dool method,
using n-alkanes as standards [35]. The compounds
were identified by RRI, DB5, with those reported in
the literature and by comparison of their mass spectra
with the Wiley library or with the published mass/
spectra [36-38].
Antibacterial activity: The whole aerial parts
of the plant were dried and coarsely ground before
extraction. A known amount of aerial parts was
extracted at room temperature by percolation method
using methanol.
The resulting extract was concentrated over rotary
vacuum until a crude solid extract was obtained, which
was then freeze-dried for complete solvent removal.
Antibacterial activity was determined by disc
diffusion method in which cellulose discs with
diameter of 6.4mm were used [39]. The cultures of
the following bacteria were used: Straphylococcus
aureus ATCC 25923, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633,
Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, and Pseudomonas
aeruginosa ATCC 27853.
Mueller Hinton Agar medium was used in this
study and the concentration of the bacteria used was
3× 108 per ml, which was equal to 0.5 Macfarland.
Extracts were added with different concentrations
(2 mg, 1 mg, 500 μg and 100 μg in per disc) to sterile
discs and dried extracts. The discs were placed on the
medium and incubated at 37 °C for 24 h; inhibition
zone diameters were measured. Controls included
discs of Amoxicillin (25), Ampicillin (10), cephalexin
(30), and Erythromycin (15) and 100 μl of solvent
(methanol) was added to empty discs and the discs
were placed on the medium plate for evaluation of
effect of the solvent on bacteria. The solvents had no
effect on bacteria.
Results and Discussion
Chemical components identified in the oils
of aerial parts of S. glutinosa and their percentage
compositions are listed in Table 1. Thirty seven
volatile constituents were identified in the oil of the
aerial parts of S. glutinosa, representing 87.0% of the
total oil. Monoterpene hydrocarbon compounds were
16.3% in the oil, whereas sesquiterpene hydrocarbon
compounds constituted 64.2%. The major compound
was trans-Caryophyllene (20.9%), Germacrene D
(18.0%), α-Caryophyllene (9.4%) and Phytol (5.2%),
followed by β- Elemene (3.2%), Caryophyllene oxide
(2.6%) and Bornyl acetate (2.4%). According to the
results of GC-MS analysis of S. glutinosa oil from
Serbia [29-31] Caryophyllene oxide represented
the major compound (22.3-33.3%). In the oil from
Yugoslavia [32], the major constituent was Bornyl
acetate (11.7%), whereas in the oil from Italy [33], the
main constituents in fresh leaves were γ-Muurolene
(18.7%) and β-Bourbonene (5.9%) and in fresh
flowering tops γ-Muurolene (15.1%) and Bornyl
formate (6.3%). In the oil from Greece [34] the
major compound was Butyl butyryl lactate (26.7%).
The previously reported oils from Serbia [34-36],
Italy [33] and Greece [34] were found to be rich in
sesquiterpenes. According to Senatore et al. [33]
various factors, both endogenous and exogenous, can
affect the composition of essential oil of S. glutinosa.
The time of flowering, besides the geographical
and climatic factors, is important in determining the
composition of oil.

four bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis,
Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in four
different concentrations of the extract is presented in
Table 2. It was observed that the plant had its most
effect on Gram (+) bacteria Staphylococcus aureus,
with 2mg per disc concentration, and its effect was
less on Gram (-) bacteria
Escherichia coli with 2 mg per disc concentration,
and it had almost weak effects on Bacillus subtilis
and Pseudomonas aerugions. The results showed
that Salvia glutinosa has antibacterial activity. The
effect was weak, but further investigation of other
microorganisms on their antimicrobial activities is
According to the results of antimicrobial activity
of Salvia glutinosa from Serbia [19], the extract of S.
glutinosa has antimicrobial activity on Gram (+) and
Gram (-) bacteria.

Split Ash Trunk
My first post. Strong winds caused my codominant ash trunk to split, forcing me to remove the cracked side. This left a large 15" x 48" exposed section of heartwood, which is healthy, no rot. I put a coat of TreeKote on the exposed part.
Is that enough to save the tree? Should I have not done the TreeKote? Any other advice?
Here is a link that might be useful: You can see pix here
That sucks. Somehow it did not damage the house. I can relate to an ash splitting...someplace around here I got a pic of one across my driveway near the El Camino.
I am thinking your tree had a spot in the crotch water got into a year or so back and started some rot. It would have just continued down and rotted out more until it fell. Thankfully it happened this year and not when the tree was larger.
If you cleaned and dried out that mushy spot one sealer is as good a guess as any. For something which would be encapsulated in a short time what to do is nothing. The current authority in the tree world, Dr Shigo says use nothing, the inactive structural wood of the tree would handle itself.....somehow.....like my deck does I guess. (I'm just special and don't understand I suppose) That split is going to take a decade to be encapsulated minimum so I support your action.
More to the point and away from wound sealing theory and where I suspect I will agree with most.
That tree has some issues. One is the structural problem and almost certain rot that wound will invite in sealed or not. Two is Emerald Ash Borer. Unless you plan on treating the damaged tree with some terrible insecticide which no one guarantees will stop the bug it seems all true ash trees east of the Rockies are going to succumb to the bug.
My vote is to remove the tree before it gets larger and becomes more of a hazard. Sucks. I love ash. Just plant something else.
I wonder what role, if any, the rotted untreated beam resting in the crotch might have played. It looks like it might have been interfering with the proper upward growth of the bark ridge in the crotch.

Home / Graduate / For Current Students /
Funding Opportunities
This section describes funding opportunities for current students. Prospective students should click here for information about the funding package for incoming students.
Although students are offered a funding package on admission, all graduate students in the department are required to apply, at various times during their graduate career, for other sources of support for which they are eligible. Graduate students should work closely with their faculty advisor(s) in identifying appropriate funding sources, and preparing strong funding applications.
Graduate Student Instructor Positions
Application Procedures
All students should return completed application form(s) to Tim Moore; non-Linguistics students should a) apply online through the job posting on umjobs.org;b) send a letter of recommendation from the faculty director of the program of enrollment.
Submission process: application materials should be submitted through the online job posting system.
Posting Periods for Each Term
- Fall Dates: mid-February
- Winter Dates: mid-October
- Spring/Summer Dates: mid-February
Duties and selection criteria
For GSI positions during the Fall and Winter terms, duties include, but are not limited to:
- Leading 3 discussion sections
- Grading assignments & exams
- Office hours
- Weekly meetings with instructor(s)
Selection criteria include relevant academic preparation for teaching the course material, extent of prior instructional experience, and satisfactory fulfillment of prior teaching responsibilities. Preferential consideration will be give to applicants for whom a GSI position has been promised as part of their financial aid package. Final decisions are made by the Graduate Chair, in consultation with the Graduate Committee and the Department Chair.
Unsuccessful applications will be retained for consideration in the event that there are last- minute openings. Upon request, an unsuccessful applicant will receive, within fourteen (14) calendar days, a written explanation of the reasons for denial of employment, or an in-person interview if preferred.
Research Funding Awarded Through the Department of Linguistics
Students' applications for the following awards require endorsement of the application by the "A" advisor; students should consult with their advisor(s) before submitting their applications. All award decisions, with the exception of the GSRA appointments, are made by the Graduate Committee.
Linguistics block grant
Department graduate students are eligible to apply for block grant funds to support various research expenses, including travel and registration expenses for conferences and workshops, participant fees for experiments and interviews, expenses for research off campus, and so on. To apply, students should complete the application form (pdf, word) providing an appropriately detailed budget and justification for the request, and an indication of other funding applications related to the request. The completed form should be emailed to the Graduate Chair and the Student Services Coordinator with your "A" Advisor copied on the email for approval. If the advisor gives approval, the request will then go before the graduate committee for final approval.
For travel to conferences where students are presenting a paper/poster, eligible students should first apply for a Rackham Travel Grant. Students who receive a Rackham Travel Grant may also apply for Linguistics Block Grant funds for additional support.
Students are urged to apply for block grant funds as early in the academic year as possible.
Humanities Candidacy Research Fellowship
The Candidacy Fellowship includes stipend, tuition, and GradCare for one academic (Fall or Winter) semester, plus stipend and GradCare (no tuition) for the flanking Spring-Summer (i.e., a total of 8 months stipend support). Candidacy Fellowships are restricted to students who advanced to candidacy by the end of their third year and are not past the sixth year of their doctoral program.
Three Candidacy Fellowships are available each year. Requests for applications are sent (via email) to all graduate students by the Graduate Chair. Before applying, students should consult with their advisors to determine if an award is appropriate at this stage of the dissertation research. Applications include a statement of the dissertation topic, along with a statement of the progress that has been made to date on the dissertation or the prospectus.
One-Term Dissertation Fellowship
The One-Term Dissertation Fellowship includes stipend for one semester, tuition, and GradCare. Rackham requires that recipients have established a dissertation committee and submitted the Nomination of Dissertation Committee form to the Records and Dissertation Office prior to the beginning of the term of the fellowship.
One award is made each year, typically to a student who is in the final defense term. Requests for applications are sent (via email) to all doctoral candidates by the Graduate Chair. Applications include a statement of the dissertation topic, discussion of the current state of the dissertation work and how much remains to be done, and explanation of how the fellowship would help the student move more quickly towards degree completion.
Summer Research Grant
The Department of Linguistics awards a small number of Summer Research Grants of up to $3000. The grants are intended to provide students, usually in the pre-dissertation stages of their doctoral program, with financial support that will enable them to focus on a research project during the summer months. Requests for applications are sent (via email) to all graduate students by the Graduate Chair. Linguistics graduate students who are working on an appropriate research project are eligible to apply; applications include a brief description of the project and the work that the student hopes to complete during the summer months.
Research Assistant Positions
Some department faculty hire students as Graduate Student Research Assistants, typically to assist in grant-related research. Students should consult with their advisors, or with the faculty member with whom they would like to work, about this possibility.
Rackham and Other University Funding Sources
Numerous funding opportunities are available across the University, and it is the responsibility of students and their advisors to be cognizant of sources of support. Listed below are the sources most commonly sought by Department of Linguistics students, but other possibilities should also be actively pursued. A good source of information is the Rackham funding opportunities page.
Foreign Language Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowship
Rackham Predoctoral Fellowship
The Predoctoral Fellowship is a highly competitive award that provides stipend, tuition, and GradCare for the 12-month term of the award. The fellowship is intended for outstanding doctoral candidates who will complete the dissertation in the year in which they hold the fellowship and who will complete the Ph.D. within 6 years of beginning their programs.
Applicants must be nominated by their department. The Linguistics Graduate Committee solicits applications, which include a detailed statement of the proposed dissertation project, in the Fall term of each year (via an email message sent out by the Graduate Chair). The Graduate Committee selects the student(s) to be nominated on the basis of several factors, including competitiveness of the academic record and the extent to which the research statement is intellectually engaging and succeeds in addressing a broad audience of scholars who may lack knowledge of that particular area of inquiry.
Barbour Scholarship
Awarded to exceptional women from Eastern countries (see the Barbour Scholarship web page for eligibility details), this scholarship is an 8-month award that includes stipend, tuition, and GradCare. Applicants must be nominated by their department. The Linguistics Graduate Committee solicits applications, which include a detailed statement of purpose, from eligible students in the Fall term of each year; the nominee is selected by the Graduate Committee.
Center for the Education of Women: Mary Malcomson Raphael Fellowship
This highly competitive fellowship is for outstanding women graduate students with a strong potential to make exceptional contributions to society. Applicants must be nominated by their department. The Linguistics Graduate Committee typically invites applications in the Fall term from appropriate doctoral candidates, although eligible interested students should contact the Graduate Chair or the Head Advisor.
Go to "CEW Scholarships for U-M Students" and scroll down to "Fellowships."
Click on "Fellowships and Grants." In addition, some of the individual centers for various world regions (Africa, Middle East, Asia, etc.) may offer additional funding to graduate students.
External Funding Sources
Many external funding sources are available and, beginning in students' first year in the program, students and their advisors should consider external sources of funding for students' graduate education and research. The two external sources most commonly sought by our students are NSF Graduate Research Fellowships and Fulbright Fellowships; the latter is administered at UM through the International Institute. The Rackham Fellowships Office also has information on a wide range of external funding sources, under "Other Funding Resources."

Putin letter to Arab summit triggers strong Saudi attack
By Yara Bayoumy and Mahmoud Mourad SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of hypocrisy on Sunday, telling an Arab summit that he should not express support for the Middle East while fuelling instability by supporting Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad. In a rare move, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi announced that a letter from Putin would be read out to the gathering in Egypt, where Arab leaders discussed an array of regional crises, including conflicts in Syria, Yemen and Libya. "We support the Arabs' aspirations for a prosperous future and for the resolution of all the problems the Arab world faces through peaceful means, without any external interference," Putin said in the letter.Reuters

Mercedes conducts review after mistakes at Malaysian GP
It's rare to see a Formula One podium these days without a Mercedes driver standing on top, and it's even rarer to have the team conducting arguments in public over the strategic errors which led to the defeat by Ferrari.

Germanwings crash co-pilot may have had detached retina - newspaper
By Maria Sheahan and Michael Nienaber BERLIN (Reuters) - The co-pilot suspected of crashing a passenger jet in the Alps may have been suffering from a detached retina but investigators are unsure whether his vision problems had physical or psychological causes, a German newspaper said on Sunday. Bild am Sonntag also reported how the captain of the Germanwings Airbus had screamed "open the damn door!" to the co-pilot as he tried to get back into the locked cockpit before the jet crashed last Tuesday, killing all 150 on board. Another German newspaper, Welt am Sonntag, quoted a senior investigator as saying the 27-year-old co-pilot Andreas Lubitz "was treated by several neurologists and psychiatrists" and that a number of medications had been found in his apartment.Reuters
DAILY MAIL COMMENT: Jihadi schoolgirl and her militant father
When 15-year-old Amira Abase fled the UK for Syria to join the butchers of Islamic State, her father launched a bitter attack on her school and the police for allowing it to happen. In front of the Commons Home Affairs Committee, Abase Hussen first accused Amira's teachers of failing to recognise that his 'normal' daughter was becoming dangerously radicalised. Then his lawyer denounced police for not warning her family that another girl from the same school had recently run away to Syria.Daily Mail q

Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 Cover-Up: Did Plane Really Crash In Indian Ocean? Prove It! Says Expert
The search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, missing for almost 13 months, has now covered more than half of the massive, 23,166 square-mile search area in the remote Indian Ocean — an area the size of Massachusetts in some of the roughest and least explored waters of the world. Last year, investigators relied on satellite data from the British firm Inmarsat to determine that the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200 flew seven hours and thousands of miles off of its Kuala Lumpur to Beijing route, ending up more than 1,000 miles off the coast of Perth, Australia.The Inquisitr q

The United States is now involved in two air wars in the Middle East, not to mention more widespread drone actions.
The U.S. wars in the Middle East and the so-called war on drugs in North America have resulted in violent consequences felt in our own cities, whether at the finish line of the Boston Marathon or in communities of color across the country.

The veteran "NBC Nightly News" anchor conceded that a story he told on various occasions about being under fire while on assignment in Iraq in 2003 was not accurate.
The U.N. has warned of "total chaos" in Libya; the U.S.-backed regime in Egypt continues a crackdown on political opponents; and Iraq is coming off its deadliest month in years—all while the rise of the Islamic State continues there and in Syria.

The movie "American Sniper" lionizes the most despicable aspects of U.S. society—including the belief that Christians are called upon to exterminate "lesser breeds."

To understand what is at stake in this struggle, it is important to look closely at what we are defending.
A new book is arguably the best account of what went wrong with the project to turn Baathist Iraq into a liberal democracy, but flawed by the insistence that failure was inevitable due to Iraq's sociopolitical realities.

Without Bush's invasion and occupation of Iraq, it is not at all clear that Sharif Kouachi, one of the gunmen the French police are searching for, would have gotten involved in fundamentalist vigilanteism. And if he hadn't, he would not have gone on to be a point man in murdering the staff of Charlie Hebdo along with 2 policemen.
The folk-wisdom incorporated into the story of the Tar Baby and Br'er Rabbit applies to the Middle Eastern wars from which the United States and the West want to retreat, but again and again find themselves caught deep in the tar.
Kurdish forces, supported by Free Syrian Army troops and coalition air strikes, have largely recovered Kobane from rule by Daesh (called Islamic State in the West).
Barack Obama wanted to be the president who got the U.S. out of Afghanistan and Iraq, and turned America's diplomatic energies to the more promising Pacific Rim.
In 2014, Iraq was said to lose 42% of its territory to Daesh (the Arabic acronym for what our press calls Islamic State).
The Bush administration and the CIA tortured al-Qaida suspects because they wanted evidence that linked Saddam Hussein to 9/11 and could be used to justify the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Middle East expert Patrick Cockburn writes at The Independent.
Three years into a sagging Clinton presidency and a bitterly divided Congress, the 500-page executive summary of the Senate Intelligence Committee's long fought-over, much-delayed, heavily redacted report on the secret CIA drone wars was finally released. Committee chairman Ron Wyden (D-OR) took to the Senate floor, and said…
American forces have killed three high-ranking Islamic State leaders in Iraq in recent weeks, according to Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Having so many drones flying around may have "serious implications" for journalists and researchers; India named its first "yoga czar"; meanwhile, a Fox News interview shows the holes in Dick Cheney's defense of CIA torture. These discoveries and more after the jump.
The list of powers eager to see Islamic State defeated grew larger this weekend with a report that China would intervene against IS from the air.
The "debate" over torture is almost as grotesque as torture itself. There can be no legitimate debate about the intentional infliction of pain upon captive and defenseless human beings.
With the release of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence report on the use of torture by the CIA after 9/11, the final defense of the indefensible by its perpetrators, advocates and publicists is falling apart before our eyes.
