Department of History, Political Science and Philosophy
You are here
The objective of the Department of History, Political Science and Philosophy is to provide a thorough and dynamic liberal arts education with a multicultural perspective. The majors and subject areas offered by the department are structured to prepare graduates for further education or for careers in pertinent fields.
Students selecting a major in the department are expected to gain knowledge appropriate to their subject area and to demonstrate what has been learned through courses, internships, and extracurricular activities. Since the process of learning is ongoing, graduates of the department are expected to stay in touch with faculty and to offer insights and advice to current students when possible.
The department faculty is a collection of outstanding scholars and dedicated teachers engaged in active research in a variety of areas. Its research and publication record is second to none on the DSU campus. It has won the annual Faculty Excellence Awards in research, teaching and service a number of times. Students have the opportunity to work closely with these professors, especially during their Senior Capstone experience. The faculty pledges to collectively do their best in the areas of teaching, research, and service so as to ensure that students will derive maximum benefits from their matriculation.

HISTORY MAJOR: There are two History curricula: a straight History and a History with a Social Studies Concentration. A student who chooses History as a major must complete the requirements of either one of these curricula, and must satisfy the General Education Requirements prescribed by the University. A total of thirty six (36) hours of history are required. A student must complete History 101, 102, 201 and 202, or 101, 102, 203 and 204. All majors must also take History 205, 290, 446 and 475. The remaining twelve hours must be at the 300-400 level in either of two concentrations: American and World. History majors must also have six hours of Social Science electives (to be met with 300-400 level course in Economics and other business courses, Mass Communications, Political Science, Sociology and Criminal Justice, Psychology, Education, and other social sciences.), and six hours of Arts and Humanities electives (300-400) level course in Art, Art History, Philosophy, English and Foreign Languages, and other humanities courses). All history majors must earn a 'C' or better in all history courses, General Education core courses, and other required courses as designated on the curriculum sheet.

PREREQUISITES: Prerequisites are noted in the course descriptions.
POLITICAL SCIENCE MAJOR: To graduate with a major in political science a student must satisfy the General Education Requirements prescribed by the University and complete thirty-six (36) hours course work in political science at a grade of 'C' or better. These include the following required courses: PS 103 (Introduction to Political Science); PS 200 (American National Government); PS 210 (Contemporary Political Ideologies); PS 220 (Comparative Government); PS 230 (International Politics). PS 214 (Research Methods, or its equivalent as approved by the Chair), and PS 475 (Senior Capstone). In addition, students must take and pass with a 'C' or better 18 hours of political science elective courses at the 300-400 level. Majors must also take and pass the following required courses with a grade of 'C' or better: Economics 201 (Macroeconomics); Economics 202 (Microeconomics); Philosophy 101 (Critical Thinking) and another three hours of Philosophy electives. Although not required for a major in political science, students who intend to pursue an MA, MPA, or Ph.D. are strongly encouraged to take Elementary Statistics, Advanced Statistics, and other research-related courses. With the approval of the political science advisor and/or the department chair, students may substitute up to nine hours of PS 330 (Field Work) and/or PS 470 (Internship) for an equivalent amount of credit in the requirement of 18 hours.
Click here to view the political science curriculum.
PHILOSOPHY: The philosophy courses are designed to deepen and broaden the student's interest in and understanding of certain fundamental issues concerning the nature of existence, knowledge, and values. This involves critical reflection on the justification of basic human beliefs (e.g., free will, the existence of God) and analysis of the concepts in terms of which such beliefs are expressed. See course listings in order to determine the specific philosophy courses that are included in the University's general education curriculum. While no philosophy course has a prerequisite, it is strongly recommended that students complete Philosophy 101 (Critical Thinking), or Philosophy 201 (Introduction to Philosophy), preferably both, before taking any 300 or 400 level philosophy course.
Click here to view the philosophy minor curriculum.
HISTORY MINOR: For a minor in history, students must pass with a 'C' or better twenty-one (21) semester hours as follows: History 101, 102, 290 and twelve additional hours of which nine hours must be at or above the 300 level. At least 3 hours each in World and American history must be included.
POLITICAL SCIENCE MINOR: A minor in political science requires twenty-one (21) hours of political science course work with a grade of C or better in each course. This is distributed as follows: PS 103 (Introduction to Political Science); PS 200 (American National Government); PS 210 (Contemporary Political Ideologies); PS 220 (Comparative Government); PS 230 (International Politics); and six additional hours at the 300 and 400 levels.
PHILOSOPHY MINOR: For a minor in philosophy, a student must pass with a 'C' or better fifteen hours of philosophy courses distributed as follows: Philosophy 201, 206, either 300 or 302 and any two electives in philosophy. Students interested in a minor in philosophy may obtain further information from the department office, and also from the philosophy faculty.

A beautiful woman who has the heart of gold, and comes from Royalty. Often very strong and can handle all types of stress and emotions very well. Can be very domineering and bossy at times. She'e not pretty she's past that, when she sings it's as if heaven opens up and God himself is her audience. She is a chameleon and can take on anything she puts her mind to..She will marry an Edward or another name with a royal flair, she will love him forever and it will be an infinite love that will last beyond the body and spirit. She is a beautiful soul and friend and will be there for you forever!

Waterwise Water Distillers
Waterwise distillers eliminate concerns about water quality by transforming tap water into 100% steam-distilled and purified water. More effective and reliable than a standard on-faucet water filter, Waterwise distillers combine distillation with carbon filtration for consistent water purity, even over time. Waterwise steam distillers are available in electric models, which include an automatic shut-off feature, and a non-electric model, which can be powered by almost any heat source.

MacDev Drone DX Board / PSP Mode update!
Posted 17 January 2013 - 03:06 PM
If you remember the review I did on the Drone DX, I commented on the "ramping" mode being a bit noncompetitive for PSP play. Well MacDev listened!
They are now releasing a firmware update on their guns. Going forward, all new guns will have this new mode, and it looks like they are working on a way to "flash" the older boards to include the PSP mode.
This is awesome, because the PSP mode is a very powerful, must have firemode if you compete in tournaments.
Video of the review, the comments I made about the board are towards the end of the video-
It's one of the things I love about my job. I give honest reviews, the companies listen, they make small changes and the players and customers ultimately win in the end!!!! GREAT JOB MACDEV!!!!!!!!!! CAN'T WAIT TO TEST OUT THE NEW BOARD!!!

yeah i saw that on facebook yesterday and the first thing i thought was "MacDev must watch Mikes videos"
If they want an honest review on their product, they will!!!
I've always been a huge fan of MacDev, I'm excited for this update!!!
Also... rumor is they are redesigning their trigger for 2013 too.....

I personally love the GT's trigger, in my opinion G6R's and Clone's are the best feeling / easiest markers to shoot in semi auto.

Triggers are all personal preference though. You try to please the majority, and live with the knowledge that the minority can purchase aftermarket triggers if they really don't like it.
I gotta disagree with ya a bit Alex on this one. Trigger SHAPE is preference, but trigger DESIGN is not.
There are certain characteristics, that make a well designed trigger very pleasant to pull, even though you may not like the actual shape.
Things such as -
* "extended inner raceway" ball bearings, so that the trigger doesn't rub on the inside of the trigger well. Look at a G6R Trigger, how frictionless that is compared to a shocker SFT/NXT trigger. Check out the pic below. The middle bearing has extended inner raceways, this way you can tighten the trigger down, and it still won't rub against the trigger well, dragging and slowing down the trigger
* Good adjustments on the post travel, pre travel, spring tension, activation point. Look at a Geo 2.1's trigger, how well it's designed versus a DM trigger. The DM's adjustments are terrible, the springs are ALWAYS too stiff, and the conical screws tend to wiggle inside of the threading, moving the points of adjustment. Also, the DM has no activation point screw, it's fixed
* Pivot point - the natural angle of the hand/knuckles is a 45 degree angle, and the plane is usually from the player's forehead through the trigger guard and pointed at the ground. Pivot points that are in front of the trigger (Evil Pimp) instead of BEHIND the trigger (Alias Intimidator) tend to be slower shooting guns, because your middle finger needs to travel much father to get the pull. You miss alot of pulls
* Trigger Edge - most people don't pull the trigger straight back, they press it from the side. Having a trigger that is rounded a little bit (Geo 3 / Ego 11) versus a trigger with sharp edges (Clone/Drone) feels alot more comfortable when pulling the trigger.
If a $450 Axe can have an amazing trigger, no reason any other gun that costs more shouldn't have it either. Triggers are EXTREMELY important in my opinion, if the gun has a shitty feeling trigger out of the box, everything just tends to go downhill from there.
Posted 05 February 2013 - 09:54 PM
Couldn't resist
Using a gun that's been hardly maintained and tossed from person to person more than a village whore is hardly a fair way to compare the marker.
Posted 06 February 2013 - 08:28 AM
The new GTi electronics system features a brand new high performance microprocessor, and ram chips to handle the new advanced sensing system exclusive to the Clone GTi (patent pending). The GTi will have an on board speaker for tones, and a full colour OLED for graphics, both of which will be user adjustable. Bluetooth expansion and on board USB will give a range of communication options, which combined with free rolling firmware updates will ensure that your MacDev marker is always ahead of the game.
For all you loyal GT customers, please feel secure. We have considered you in this update. If you have purchased a Clone GT, you will be able to upgrade to a GTi, a fair and reasonable scheme to facilitate this process will be devised. You can safely buy a Clone GT tomorrow knowing that you will be looked after at the time of GTi release.
More info to come soon.

Accepted nickname of New York Knicks and former Kentucky Wildcats basketball player Josh Harrellson. The nickname was coined by Matt Jones of Kentucky Sports Radio. Josh Harrellson is very fond of jean shorts (jorts) and openly embraces the nickname.
Jorts had a really good game last night. He rebounded and shot the 3 really well.

Jorts are simply jean shorts. In most cases they are just embaressing, but jorts can be pulled off by certain demographics, such as fathers on family vactions. In addition to being popular with men over forty (who typically are wearing knee socks and sandals) Jorts are also popular with younger men who usually smoke marijuana.
Of course he's a stoner, don't you see the jorts?

Robert Groves stepping down as Census director
Tuesday - 4/10/2012, 3:20pm EDT
Robert Groves is stepping down as the head of the Census Bureau to become provost of Georgetown University.
Groves will begin his new position in late August.
"While I am honored by this rare personal and professional opportunity to help lead Georgetown to even greater heights than it already enjoys, I must also tell you that I am enormously proud of the work we have accomplished together over the past three years," Groves wrote in an email obtained by Federal News Radio.

Deputy Secretary of the Commerce Department Rebecca Blank wrote in a blog post that Groves' departure will be "bittersweet."
"This is a significant and highly deserved honor for him — and a major capstone to his notable academic career," Blank wrote.
She said Groves has helped increase efficiencies at Census in his nearly three years at the agency.
Groves was confirmed as director in June 2009. In a blog post today, Groves pointed to the accomplishments of the past few years.
"The wonderful 2010 Census team defied all the naysayers to complete a successful census on time and $1.9 billion under budget," he wrote.
Blank said Groves helped organize a more cost-efficient Census 2020 and led a formal reorganization of the agency, "reestablishing the research directorate to spur technical innovation. With the implementation of a corporate hiring and job rotation program, Dr. Groves has worked to expand the breadth of skills among Census staff to effectively lead the Bureau into the 21st century."
Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), who chairs the Senate subcommittee on federal financial management, said Groves joined Census when the agency "faced many operational and management challenges" but confronted them head-on.
"Through his impressive skill set and background in issues related to the Census and to statistics, he helped right the ship, ensuring the successful completion of the 2010 Decennial Census," Carper said in a release.
In a statement, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said Groves's tenure at the head of the agency "is proof that appointing good people makes a big difference, and I urge the President to look for another servant of Robert's caliber when naming his replacement."
The agency is in the midst of an 18-month restructuring of its field offices to reduce costs by $15 million to $18 million annually beginning in 2014. When completed, six of the agency's 12 regional offices will permanently close, affecting about 330 out of the 7,200 employees in the field office workforce. This is the first field office restructuring at Census in 50 years.
Advances in technology have made restructuring possible. In his blog post, Groves pointed to improvements in the agency's IT operations.
Census has "launched an internal social media tool that will improve internal communication/collaboration; they've built a private cloud to increase computing efficiency; they're addressing the mix of research and production computing needs; they've built a Center for Applied Technology, which is a safe environment to try out high-risk, high-payoff ideas," he wrote.
Previously, Groves was the Census' associate director of statistical design, methodology and standards. He also has worked as a professor at the University of Michigan and the University of Maryland.
In a time when federal employees have become a target of deficit cuts, Groves wrote, "We all read in the papers each day some commentary on how federal employees are unmotivated, unproductive, and wasteful. I've met many who defy that stereotype. They do, however, need leaders who listen to their ideas, leaders who will support them when they trip attempting stretch goals, leaders who believe that government agencies can be as efficient as any other organization."
Groves: Census reorg will boost efficiency, technological edge

- people in the U.S. have this name View Pamela Leyvas on WhitePages
Meaning & Origins
Invented by the Elizabethan pastoral poet Sir Philip Sidney (1554–86), in whose verse it is stressed on the second syllable. There is no clue to the sources that influenced Sidney in this coinage. It was later taken up by Samuel Richardson for the name of the heroine of his novel Pamela (1740). In Henry Fielding's Joseph Andrews (1742), which started out as a parody of Pamela, Fielding comments that the name is 'very strange'.

The second week of February will be remembered as an important moment in the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center's technology history - as the date when the long anticipated transition to the proper educational network infrastructure started.
In the spring of 2010, DLIFLC leadership made the strategic decision to establish an educational network in order to ensure that DLIFLC is properly equipped to best meet its evolving mission requirements. The intent of this new network is to enable more latitude in the types of software and computer systems used by the 23 language programs at DLIFLC. The educational, or ".edu" network, will allow DLIFLC to adopt new technology tools and pedagogical techniques more quickly than otherwise would be possible.
Over the next year, the computer systems at DLIFLC will evolve into something one would expect to see at a civilian university. That is not to say that the .edu network will be any less secure. In fact, the .edu network will be protected using the most up-to-date cyber security techniques through partnerships with both the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) and the Defense Manpower Data Center.
You can find out more details about DLIFLC's transition from the ".mil" to ".edu" environment in the latest issue of the GLOBE.

Shonda Rhimes finally spoke publicly about Katherine Heigl's tension-filled departure from Grey's Anatomy in 2010, and her comments were slightly barbed, to say the least.
Rhimes opened up to - who else? - Oprah Winfrey about Heigl's exit in an interview for Oprah's Next Chapter. Winfrey asked the Grey's creator about Heigl's behavior in 2008, when she withdrew her name from consideration for an Emmy award because she didn't feel the writing was deserving of a nomination. (Heigl had won the prize for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama the year before.)
"On some level, it stung and on some level I was not surprised," Rhimes told Winfrey coolly before echoing a piece of Oprah advice that she said had served her well over the years. "When people show you who they are, believe them."
Fifty Shades of Lame! Check out TV's unsexiest sex scenes
At the time of her withdrawal, Heigl said in a statement: "I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination and in an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention. In addition, I did not want to potentially take away an opportunity from an actress who was given such materials."
After taking subsequent leaves of absences from Grey's Anatomy on more than one occasion, Heigl officially left Seattle Grace in 2010, saying she wanted to spend more time with her family. Her character Izzie left Seattle to start a new life elsewhere.
"Everyone had been working really hard to find an amicable and gracious way of letting go and moving on," she said at the time. "It's sad but it's what I wanted."
In January of this year, Heigl said she'd like to return to the show and revisit Izzie's story line - but Rhimes doesn't appear to be on board with the idea.

"It was really nice to hear her appreciating the show," Rhimes told TV Guide in March. "We are on a track we have been planning, and the idea of changing that track is not something we are interested in right now."

School district gets clean audit
Both the Plumas County Office of Education (PCOE) and Plumas Unified School District (PUSD) received clean opinions for the 2009-10 fiscal year, auditor Paul Messner of Messner & Hadley reported to board members Tuesday, Jan. 11.
On the county side, the audit had no findings; it had just one the previous year.
On the district side, Messner had four findings, which he called "a fair amount," but they all revolved around the handling of Associated Student Body (ASB) funds, a problem for many school districts.
The audit found that ASB disbursements are not "consistently approved prior to transactions taking place. Additionally, in limited instances, receiving documentation was not available for some disbursements."
The audit attributed these problems to "limited expertise of the personnel involved in the accounting for ASBs within the district."
The district has responded to this finding by contracting for annual training for all site principals, ASB advisors and ASB officers. The district has also invested in software that will help track ASB funds. Finally, the district has hired a part-time ASB bookkeeper.
A refreshingly frank Messner said he had been doing school audits for a long time and "I can tell a BS response and this (PUSD's) isn't one."
He also noted that the ASB accounts did not constitute a "material amount of money from an auditor's point of view."
Messner said his firm audits about 20 school districts up and down the state. He said PCOE/PUSD was in a "relatively strong position" compared to similarly sized districts elsewhere in the state.
On the county side, he said the office's small size worked to its advantage. PCOE also has "no debt, no fixed-asset projects going on, modest ambitions and you're good stewards of what you do have."
Board member Jonathan Kusel asked Messner to clarify what he meant by "relatively strong."
In the top couple, Messner responded.
Kusel asked the same question about PUSD's status and followed up with questions about the district's reserve, which has been a point of contention.
According to the audit, PUSD had a general fund reserve of $7.8 million, or about 30.19 percent.
After clarifying that the district counts general fund and special reserves (for a current total reserve of about 43 percent) while the audit just looks at general fund reserves, Messner said, "Nobody has 30 percent. Similar-sized districts have 5, 6, 7 percent."
But, he noted, PUSD has declining enrollment, faces a possible shift out of Basic Aid status and is losing some federal (forest reserve) funds.
Superintendent Glenn Harris cautioned against comparing apples to oranges. "Revenue district (as opposed to Basic Aid), that's a whole different ballgame."
"Yes," agreed Messner, before noting, "You don't have deficit spending, which lots of districts do."
Board member Bob Tuerck asked Messner to compare apples to apples: how did PUSD's reserve compare to similarly situated districts?
"You're higher," Messner said. "But every situation is different."
Harris described PUSD's Basic Aid status as "volatile." He said newer Basic Aid districts had been advised to keep higher reserves. He also noted that wealthy districts could more easily pass a parcel tax to supplement revenues.

Painting No. 4 pays tribute to Lieutenant Karl von Freyburg, a German cavalryman killed on the western front in October 1914, shortly after the start of World War I. Marsden Hartley, who lived in Berlin from 1913 to 1915, was enamored with the young officer and the regimented pageantry that came with his military position. The loss of von Freyburg dealt a devastating blow to the artist, prompting him to create a series of moving and intricately symbolic paintings. This composition combines the bright colors, flattened space, and simplified forms of modernist painting with allusions to von Freyburg and to Native American cultures, the latter of which Hartley perceived as peaceful when compared to wartime Europe.

Kendrick eyes first win of '14 as he takes on Reds
Phillies righty to oppose righty Simon in series opener Friday night
Phillies right-hander Kyle Kendrick hopes to end some of his tough luck Friday night when he faces the Reds in the series opener at Citizens Bank Park.
Kendrick is 0-3 with a 3.98 ERA in seven starts and has not won a start since Aug. 6. He is 0-8 since, although a lack of run support has something to do with that.
Kendrick has not allowed more than four earned runs in a start this season, and has held the opponent to fewer than four in five of his seven starts. But the Phillies have scored more than four runs in a game for him only twice.
He had been scheduled to face Reds right-hander Homer Bailey, but Wednesday's rainout has changed the Reds rotation. Alfredo Simon is now scheduled to pitch Friday's series opener with Bailey now scheduled to pitch on Saturday. That was the day Tony Cingrani appeared likely to be activated from the disabled list to start.
"We're still optimistic that Tony will pitch on that road trip," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "There's nothing that suggests he won't. Which game, we'll probably have a better idea in the next 48 hours. He could pitch on Sunday or Monday [at Washington] the way things are laying out now."
Reds: Mesoraco could be activated
• Barring an unexpected setback, the Reds are hopeful that primary catcher Devin Mesoraco will be activated from the 15-day disabled list on Friday. He suffered a strained left hamstring April 25 at Atlanta while trying to score on a base hit.
Mesoraco, who is hitting .468/.509/.787 in 13 games, is completing a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville.
Phillies: Brown needs to deliver
• Domonic Brown's production in left field has been a concern. He has just one home run since Aug. 14 last year. He entered Wednesday with a .593 OPS, which was lower than Ben Revere's .598 OPS. Revere has never hit a homer in his big league career.
More power from Brown would help the lineup tremendously. In Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the Angels, Brown went 0-for-4 as his batting average dropped to .221.
"Pitchers are making adjustments on him," Phillies hitting coach Steve Henderson said. "They're pitching him away and he's hitting it away. Last night he just missed two balls. I think he's found something in his load. He's feeling much better now.
"But he's got to adjust to them, too. He's doing it. He's starting to hit the ball the other way. The power part will come once he shows them he can go there. Then they'll start pitching him the way he wants them to pitch him."
Worth noting
• Cliff Lee on Tuesday suffered the first loss of his career in which he did not allow an earned run. He allowed four unearned runs in a 4-3 loss to the Angels. He is the first Phillies pitcher to lose a game without allowing an earned run since Brett Myers allowed one unearned run against the Pirates on April 6, 2003.
• Elias Sports Bureau said third baseman Cody Asche on Tuesday was the first Phillies player to commit at least three errors in a one-run loss since Mariano Duncan made three errors in a 6-5 loss to the Expos on May 22, 1993.
• Reds pitcher Mat Latos, who has been out all season because of various injuries, had his second bullpen session on Wednesday since his April setback of a strained flexor mass tendon in his right arm. All went well for Latos, who is expected to have one more bullpen session before advancing to a simulated game.

tmc my man youve missed one hell of a march madness! Go Ham
I'm bummed Stanford didn't make it to the Final Four. I didn't even get to see that loss to Texas since I was away. Thought they had a nice shot.
Don't hate yourself in the morning... sleep 'til noon.
Whats everyones picks for the Final Four?
Im saying Memphis vs. UNC. Memphis is 2 deep and athletic for UCLA, plus they got a Big Body of their own to guard kevin love and his name is Joey Dorsey. This should be a real close game with 2 even teams that play 2 different styles. Whoever dictates the tempo in this 1 will decide who wins, but i like Memphis. For some reason im just not sold on this Kansas team. They seem 2 always underachieve and I see UNC winning this one. And in the finals i Like UNC over Memphis, but it could go either way. |
I want Memphis over UCLA purely because they beat Stanford and Cal. I like UCLA, though. But like I said before, I'm a Derrick Rose fan so I'm sticking with the Tigers.
UNC should win. I think they should win the whole thing. Though I'd like to see Memphis take it. Don't hate yourself in the morning... sleep 'til noon.
I'm going with UCLA. I'm a big fan of Collison so I'm gonna root for them. It also helps that I don't particularly like UNC or Kansas...
Rose is one hell of a PG... especially from a freshman. Smart, composed, big, strong and athletic. Disregarding team needs as we dont know who will pick 1st, I think I might lean toward taking Rose over Beasley.
http://WWW.GOLDENSTATEWARRIORS-RT.COM |
Rose has really raised his stock in the tourney. He really does remind me of Chris Paul, a very fundamental point guard, that, at a young age, can take over a game.
2007 - GoldenStWarriors.com "Rookie of the Year"
Is it just me or are the fuucking rims mic'ed up in ncaa games? Every time the ball hits the rim you hear a loud "thunk", WTF? I don't know why it pisses me off along with all the little differences between ncaa hoops and the NBA.
Exclusively college sports fans piss me off too, they are so pretentious and smug, like they are of a more refined group of fans then pro sports fans. I can only tolerate so much college sports before the bands and the annoying "die hard" fans make me want to wrap my lips around the barrel of a gun. Especially ""Speedo Man", he is the biggest faaag ever! I just watch the tourney to see Duke and UNC fans cry like the little bitches they are. WTF is up with college fans crying anyways?!?!?! It's a ****ing game dumbshits! You don't play enough games nor have the players long enough to become that emotionally invested. I can see a fan getting teary-eyed over an NBA team or a MLB team because they play 82 and 162 games - if you watch 90% of the games then that team become apart of you. but 12 games in NCAA football and about 32 in NCAA hoops isn't anything. Like Michigan loosing to Appalachian State - I watched that game and by the end of it I had seen at least five adults crying (about 3 men and 2 women), it made me laugh (at those pathetic individuals) but at the same time made me furious. I was mad because these people have such a distorted view of sports and reality. What? Anything less then perfection is something to cry about? These teams keep scheduling these "cup cake" teams, only to pad their records and then, BAM! Karma hits them in their high-and-mighty faces! Things that are wrong with college sports: - An undefeated (or 1 loss) season should be an accomplishment and a rarity not expected! - College's should not be able to make their own schedules nor be payed to play games by other schools. - Conferences should be unified and equal in terms of the amount of teams, officiating, and scheduling. The Conferences shouldn't have the power nor clout that they do. - The NCAA is the governing body so they need to act like one! Instead of the corrupt, money-hungry, special-interest, empty suites that they are! - The ranking systems need to be based on numbers and not reputation or popularity. That applies to football mainly, but in some cases it applies to hoops (Duke being a no.2 seed, Oregon making it to the tourney at all). I'm going to stop there, I could go on for pages about my hate for college sports, though for some reason I still watch them. I just get frustrated by the NCAA and at the same time it makes me appreciate professional sports so much more - for the uniformity, standards, stability, and the quality competition (top-bottom) that they provide. |
I don't know if anyone is watching the NCAA championship right now but it is at the end of regulation and all I have to say is WOW!!! Chammers with the most amazing desperation 3 I have ever seen to send the game into OT! Damn!
Great game... too bad Memphis choked. I was pulling for them. I lost a bet at school, too.
2007 - GoldenStWarriors.com "Rookie of the Year"
yeah... GREAT game. I will never understand why a team does not foul when they are up by 3pts.
http://WWW.GOLDENSTATEWARRIORS-RT.COM |
just saw an interview with COach C who said they WERE trying to foul
http://WWW.GOLDENSTATEWARRIORS-RT.COM |
How can you not foul when you try to do it??? Anyway, great game. One of the better finals I remember... And it has proven once again I can jinx any team I root for. First I was rooting for UCLA and they lost. After that, I decided to root for Memphis in the finals... Happens every year. The team I root for in the NCAA better forgets about winning it all. |
imagine him this morning he proly just like "Damn i F*CKED up!" Go Ham

External Hard Drive Buying Guide
External hard drives can be very useful as a backup device or an easy way to transport large amounts of data to and from places you go. They can come in many capacities, shapes, sizes, designs and styles and overall they're a great product that anyone can find a use for.
I personally have several of them and I prefer them really over having the drives in my computer running all of the time, I've had several hard drives die on me and I believe it's because of the heat and running them over sixteen hours a day, seven day per week. I like the idea of only having the drive on when I need to use it, I need to make a backup I turn it on, do my backup then turn it off, it's my opinion that I'm saving my drive, and adding more life to it, whether that's true or not I'm not sure but I feel better.
External hard drives can be bought pre-built or you can buy one of many enclosures on the market today and use your own drive with it, usually this is the cheaper way to do it, but for someone who is not very tech savvy they'll prefer the pre-installed type.
When it comes to purchasing an external enclosure that is pre-made you've got several choices, the most popular is the single drive configuration, but you can get them with multiple drives in them for added storage capacities if need be.
Many of the multiple drive types can have other features added as well like NAS, or Network Attached Storage, and can have software built into them with other added features like webservers, surveillance, bitorrent clients and many other optional things. They can have several types of connections as well, ethernet, USB, firewire, and eSATA, they can also have extra USB ports as well with the ability to automatically copy the files on a USB drive to the external hard disc. These features are most popular on multiple configuration external enclosures, but some single style external enclosures can have these types of features as well.
There are three main types of hard drives in, or that can go into an external enclosure:
3.5" - Standard desktop hard drive that can be IDE or SATA interface
2.5" - Standard notebook hard drive that can be IDE of SATA
1.8" - just a very small version of above two styles of drives with either interface again
Of course these days you can also get Solid State Drives as well, but we'll just be focusing on the actual spinning drives for this little write up.
There are two main types of external enclosures for the 3.5" size of drive, and this goes for both pre-built and self-built styles of external hard drives.
Passive cooled external enclosures have no fan to cool the enclosed hard drive, the benefit of course is near silence, but they use thermally conductive materials and designs to help transfer the heat from the hard drives inside to keep them cool. These can be heavy though as the outer case acts as a large heatsink to cool the drive, and they're usually thick to accomplish this effectively.
Active cooled external hard drives usually have one fan built into them somewhere on the enclosure, and may even have two small fans. These types are usually lighter weight as the outer casing does not have to be as thick, but you have the added noise of the fans to contend with here.
Normally 2.5" external hard drives are always passively cooled.
If you intend on running your external hard drive for long periods of time it's advised that you get an actively cooled style to make sure there's no chance of the drive overheating, the passively cooled styles really aren't for continuous use, more for the turn it on, transfer files and turn it off type of use. You can of course get passively cooled external hard drives that are designed to be on all of the time, these are usually higher end styles that feature the ability to spin down the hard drive during periods of inactivity to prolong life, save energy and keep the drive cool.
When it comes to external hard drive enclosures you can get them with several types of connections, the most popular of course being USB, with FireWire and eSATA coming in a close third. The type of connection you get on your choice of external hard drive will depend on your computer of course, but you can get external hard drives with more than one connection type on them, popular today is the combination USB and eSATA styles connections since eSATA is being seen more and more as a standard connection on PCs.
There are five main factors to look at also when considering purchasing an external hard drive, speed, capacity, portability, warranty and price.
With speed you'll have to go with what the manufacturers specifications tell you as to what transfer speeds you can expect, but you could look for reviews of any external hard drive you might be considering. Most reviewers will test the speeds of the drives to determine if they get what the manufacturer says it will, and they'll usually compare them to other drives on the market as well.
Capacity is self explanatory, get the amount of space you think you'll need, then add some more for good measure just in case. I'm always amazed at how fast I can fill up a hard drive.
Portability is something to consider as well, do you plan on taking the external hard drive with you often? Make sure you get one that is lightweight and rugged to handle being carried around, most 2.5" external hard drives are powered from the USB bus, but the majority of 3.5" ones will require you to carry a separate power supply as well, adding not only weight but bulk to your load. There are also specialized rugged style external hard drives on the market that are made for rough use with special vibration dampeners in them and even some that are watertight, but of course you'll be paying much more for these than a standard enclosure.
Check the warranty on the external hard drive you intend on purchasing, since it's made to be portable it becomes more prone to damage and possibly failure, a long warranty is a good warranty.
Price of course is self-explanatory, try and find the best deal for the money, many times you can get re-certified or re-conditioned external hard drives from the manufacturer that will carry the same warranty as a new one.
Another thing to consider is what comes with the external hard drive in terms of software, some people might not care, but others will. Many companies package backup software with their products, and of course there are some that don't, so if it's something you're interested in make sure to check for it.
Also some external hard drives have a backup button on them as well to make your backups easier to do, just hit the button and it does the backup for you, backing up the files that you specified through the included software. Of course the button will only work on the PC that you have the software and drivers installed on.
If you're planning on buying a pre-made external hard drive then you'll most likely buy from the same companies that make the drives, Western Digital, Seagate etc as they're the most common out there today, but you can get them from other companies as well like Imation, Buffalo, Verbatim and many others that create the enclosures and put the hard drives in them for sale.
Finally, and as always check for reviews of either the pre-made versions or do it yourself external enclosures, you'll find many reviews of both types online.

Italian MotoGP - Italian tour de force
June 5, 2005 World Champion and Gauloises Yamaha Team rider Valentino Rossi produced one of the best performances of his career today as he outwitted a trio of Italian compatriots to take a stunning home victory at Mugello. Starting from pole position, Rossi was in turn passed by a handful of riders, despatching each in turn until he was left to battle for the victory with his old arch-rival Max Biaggi, eventually finding enough to greet the chequered flag four tenths of a second ahead of his main adversary. Biaggi was Rossi's main protagonist and antagonist for the early part of his career in the premier class, but had faded from the spotlight in recent years and Rossi's new arch rival Sete Gibernau crashed out early in the race after fading from the front of the pack to fourth and looking like he was going to finish much further down the points.

Jigglypuff (Japanese: プリン, Purin) is a Normal-type Pokémon. Jigglypuff is among the most recognizable Pokémon, due to its singing and pink, fat, squirrel-like appearance being considered very cute. Jigglypuff is voiced by Rachael Lillis in the English version of the anime show, and by Mika Kanai in Japanese counterparts and Super Smash Bros. Series.
Jigglypuff is a small pink Pokémon with large blue eyes and cat-like ears. It has a puffy, curly bang in the middle of its forehead.
Jigglypuff is a balloon type Pokémon. Its body is globular, pink, fluffy, cuddly, and accented with stubby appendages, a tiny tuft of a single curl of hair, and enormous blue eyes, featuring green eyes for its alternate color version. Its skin is rubbery and stretchy. Jigglypuff can inflate its body like a balloon, or flatten its body, much like fellow Nintendo character Kirby. An exact limit to the size it can grow to in this manner is unknown. Jigglypuff evolves from Igglybuff with a high level of friendship, and to Wigglytuff when exposed to a Moon Stone. In super Smash Bros. Brawl, its Final Smash allows it to grow constantly, knocking other players off the screen. After some time, Jigglypuff shrinks to her normal size. In the anime, Jigglypuff sang a lullaby to make people and Pokémon go to sleep.
In the anime
In the Pokémon anime series, Jigglypuff is a recurring character who aspires to be a great singer after the inspiration of Ash Ketchum and company. Unfortunately, every potential audience falls asleep before the song finishes. Jigglypuff does not usually choose an appropriate time to sing and has been a hazard many times, especially on moving vehicles. Because of this, Ash Ketchum and his companions often find themselves running away from Jigglypuff, who obviously isn't pleased with the fact that everyone falls asleep whenever it sings. It keeps with it a black marker, its "microphone," and uses it to scribble on anyone who dares to fall asleep while it's performing (after it inflates itself in anger with a distinctive "honk" sound). Only on two occasions has Jigglypuff believed that anyone had heard its song to the end: in the first, Jigglypuff realizes that Misty's Psyduck was sleeping with its eyes open, and in the second, a Whismur (a Pokémon with "soundproof" ability and therefore immune to sound-based Pokémon moves) had heard the song the first time, but on the second time it was tired so it fell asleep anyway. There was once when Jigglypuff sang to two gigantic Pokémon battling each other, but these two Pokémon did not fall asleep, and instead Jigglypuff was knocked away by the energy of their battle. Another Jigglypuff (In the episode Rough, Tough, Jigglypuff) had a Loudred (Whismur's evolved form and therefore also bearing the "soundproof" ability) listen to its song, but it didn't care as this Jigglypuff was using Sing for an attack. there is also a jumbo jigglypuff that appeared in IL072: The Ancient Puzzle of Pokemopolis it called bigglybuff or jigglyjiant. It put the giant Gengar and the giant Alakazam to sleep but it was angry and painted on there faces with the paint brush in the bell it came out of. It has markings on it and it is very bigEvolution
Jigglypuff is the evolved form of Igglybuff. It also evolves into Wigglytuff by use of a Moon Stone.

Generation I
- Main article: Jigglypuff/Learnset Generation I
Jigglypuff appears to be based on a balloon.
The name Jigglypuff is a portmanteau of the words jiggly, referring to its motion, and puff, referring to its buoyancy. Its Japanese name, Purin, probably derives from Purin (プリン, Purin?), the Japanese word for custard pudding. It may also come from a combination of many Japanese words; fukureru (膨れる, fukureru?), meaning to swell or expand; fukafukashita (ふかふかした, fukafukashita?), meaning soft or fluffy; fūsen (風船, fūsen?), meaning balloon; and mari (鞠, mari?), meaning ball. Essentially, it could be taken to mean "a soft and fluffy ball," "a swelling balloon," or a combination of the two.
- In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Solid Snake says "Jigglypuff? Is that some kind of marshmallow?".
- Jigglypuff's appearance resembles Kirby, another Nintendo character, and Stella, the pink bird from the Angry birds by Rovio Entertainment (Whom is not a Nintendo Character). Only Jigglypuff & kirby of them appear in all 3 smash bros games.
- There is a running gag in the Pokémon anime, in which Ash and his friends get sleepy whenever a Jigglypuff comes in to sing. But usually the wild Jigglypuff writes ink on them because she thinks that when they're asleep, they hate her.
- Jigglypuff has been in every Super Smash Bros. game as a secret unlockable character.
- Jigglypuff and Pidgey both have the same cry, but Jigglypuff's cry is higher and Pidgey's cry is lower (in tone).
- Jigglypuff's voice is calibrated to the brainwaves of a person who is asleep, thus why any person or Pokémon who hears it singing instantly falls asleep.
- Jigglypuff seems to like people hearing its song but the people keep falling into sleep. In result, Jigglypuff draws on their faces for revenge.
- In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Jigglypuff's Rest attack can be an offense move. But in the Pokemon games and in the anime, it only makes the Pokemon regain it's health.
- In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Jigglypuff's Final Smash is called: Puff Up. It's when Jigglypuff gets bigger and bigger like an inflating balloon. However that move never existed in the Pokemon World.

Much has already been said about receiving strength, inspiration, and direction from Him who has all knowledge and power. If we have carefully followed directions, we have begun to sense the flow of His Spirit into us. To some extent we have become God-conscious. We have begun to develop this vital sixth sense. But we must go further and that means more action.

Futures were little changed after yesterday's advance, the biggest in a week. U.S. jobless claims fell to a five-year low, data from the Labor Department show. A report from China, the biggest crude consumer after the U.S., indicated manufacturing is expanding.

Hi: ° Lo:°
THE FAMILY of Droitwich man Adrian Locke who was stabbed to death in Worcester have have paid tribute to their 'lovable rogue'.
Paramedics found Mr Locke, 39, with stab wounds outside 42a Teme Road last Wednesday (January 2) evening and despite their best efforts to save his life he was confirmed dead at the scene a short time later.
A post mortem examination found the cause of death was a stab wound to the torso. In a statement his family said that while
Mr Locke was no saint, his death had devastated them and in particular his mother Lilly Locke.
She said: "Adie has sometimes been on the wrong side of the law, but he was a lovable rogue.
"His family was his life and he was a brilliant uncle to his nieces and nephews, who idolised him.
"He was always generous and couldn't do enough for them.
"He was a big kid himself and a real joker who was always teasing the kids with all sorts of tricks.
"He also had a teenage son, who he did not see much of as he grew up, but they had been getting to know each other recently.
"It's so sad that chance has now gone," she added.
She said her son had enjoyed the simple things in life that cost very little.
"He didn't need expensive stuff and loved his mountain bike because it gave him freedom and the opportunity to get out and
work. He did building and gardening work and was a hard worker. He liked his work," she added.
Mrs Locke said the family would never get over what had happened and said his death had "left a hole in our hearts that will never heal".
"His death has left us all heartbroken and we don't know how we will cope without him. He meant the world to me.
"I just want him to come home to his mum, but I know that will never happen," she added.
