Mission Statement
The Marketing Department prepares students for entry-level career positions by developing specialized skills in the management of customer relationships through the creation, communication, and delivery of value to customers. Students majoring in marketing are introduced to the marketing management process, which is a systematic review of the principal activities required to understand:
- the context in which products and services must be marketed,
- customer needs,
- strategic options,
- marketing program development and
- evaluation of marketing effectiveness.
The marketing curriculum focuses on traditional and online marketing skills needed in various business settings and industries. The curriculum seeks to develop competence in five areas: factual and conceptual knowledge, problem solving skills, communications skills, experiential learning and use of information technology.
Students will be prepared to enter corporate, small business or not-for-profit environments with highly valued skills and an understanding of the need for continuous learning.
- To deliver a solid foundation of the concepts and theories of the marketing discipline, including market environmental issues; strategic market planning, implementation and evaluation; marketing research; buyer behavior and market segmentation; and development of marketing programs.
- To engage students in critical thinking processes, requiring in-depth analysis of qualitative and quantitative market data and development of subsequent marketing strategies based on this analysis.
- To enable students to evaluate marketing alternatives and commit to a course of action, using financial, organizational, environmental and ethical criteria as bases for decision making.
- To teach students a variety of information technology tools and techniques to improve marketing and overall business performance and deliver greater value to customers.
- To facilitate students' continuing development of verbal, written and listening communication skills.
- To develop students' marketing-based interpersonal skills, such as group-based negotiation, consensus building, delegation and performance evaluation.
- To integrate classroom study with exposure to industry practices throughout the marketing curriculum and ensure marketing students access to experiential learning opportunities in all marketing career tracks.
- Consulting—marketing assistant, data analysis and sales.
- Retailing—store management, merchandise buying and analysis, Internet sales and visual merchandising.
- Consumer marketing and business-to-business marketing—sales, direct marketing, market analysis, product development specialist, Web-based marketing, account representative and customer relations management (CRM).
- Communications—advertising account management, account manager/director, communications management, technical writing, media planning and coordination, sales, and public relations.
- Marketing research—database management, market research analyst and project management.
- Product/Brand management—business-to-business sales, product specialist, channel development and promotional marketing.
- Not for profit marketing—fund-raising, public relations and customer service.
- Sports/events marketing—merchandising, contracts administration, event marketing, trade show management and e-commerce marketing.
Co-curricular Activities and Organizations
- Madison Marketing Association. This student club is affiliated with the American Marketing Association, a national marketing association for marketing professionals, faculty and students. MMA is open to all JMU students. MMA is comprehensive with its marketing programming and offers students information and activities in direct marketing, retailing and marketing management.
- Pi Sigma Epsilon. PSE is a professional fraternity, which focuses on programming and extracurricular experiences in marketing, personal selling, and sales management.
- Mu Kappa Tau. This is an honorary marketing fraternity for students with high scholastic records. Admission is by invitation only. The club invites speakers and engages in joint programming with other JMU student organizations.
Special Admissions Requirements
Admission to the marketing major may be limited and competitive if student enrollment exceeds available resources.
Only those students who have been formally admitted to the College of Business will be considered for admission into the marketing department.
Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing
Marketing majors conform to the general structure of the B.B.A. degree program. The B.B.A. degree in marketing requires a minimum of 120 credit hours of undergraduate course work.
Degree Requirements
Degree Requirements | Credit Hours |
General Education requirements1 | 41 |
B.B.A. lower-level core courses | 23-30 |
B.B.A. upper-level core courses | 15 |
Marketing major requirements | 24 |
Non-business electives | 10-12 |
120 |
1 The General Education program contains a set of requirements each student must fulfill. The number of credit hours necessary to fulfill these requirements may vary.
Fifty percent of this work, or 60 credit hours, must be taken outside of the College of Business. In counting the 60 credit hours of non-business courses, B.B.A. students may include all hours taken in general education (usually 41), up to a total of nine hours in economics (GECON courses must be counted as economics), and three hours of COB 191, Business and Economics Statistics. The remaining hours, to bring the total to 60 must be taken from any department outside the College of Business. Students should carefully select these non-business electives to help them gain additional knowledge and expertise for their careers and personal lives.
Major Requirements
Students planning to major in marketing must complete the 23-30 hour, lower-division B.B.A. core curriculum set forth on Page 63 prior to enrolling in upper-division core courses, normally taken in the first semester of the junior year. It is expected that the lower-division core curriculum will be completed during the first two years of study along with all, or most, of the university general education curriculum. Failing to complete all lower-division core requirements on time will delay enrollment in upper-division core and major courses. Additional required courses are determined by the chosen concentration.
As a result of marketing being such a broad field there are many areas of specialization. Students majoring in marketing commit to a course of study and obtain career-specific knowledge and skills by selecting a concentration. Presently, concentrations include:
- Business to Business Marketing
- Business to Consumer Marketing
- Business to Business Marketing Concentration
The business to business marketing concentration is designed for marketing majors who wish a more in-depth review of the issues facing businesses that market products and services to other businesses and organizations. This concentration will focus on the development of knowledge and problem-solving skills relating to business segmentation and buying processes, product and channel development and professional selling, and sales management.
Students interested in sales and sales management may be responsible for increasing sales and if successful will advance to assume management responsibilities. Product development deals with marketing related to a specific product. Activities may involve planning and development, production and distribution, direct marketing and other types of promotion. The business to business marketing concentration is the ideal concentration for a job in sales, customer service, account management and product development.

European Marketing Minor
This minor in European marketing is targeted to non-business majors and earned exclusively through participation in a summer session in Antwerp, Belgium. It is not offered at any other time of the year. The curriculum offers non-business majors an opportunity to develop a specialization in marketing within the unique European marketplace. The experiential philosophy of this minor requires students to learn about marketing in a European context, through classroom contact as well as visiting European business, governmental institutions, and cultural/historical sites as part of the requirements for each class. Since the experiential components cannot be accomplished outside of Europe, the minor will not be offered on the Harrisonburg campus.
Except for MKTG 380, only courses taken in Antwerp will count toward this minor. Except for MKTG 380, courses taken at JMU in Harrisonburg will not count towards a European marketing minor. Since COB 301 is taught only in Belgium, and not at JMU in Harrisonburg, no substitutions will be permitted.
To participate in the European marketing minor, students must:
- be a non-B.B.A. major.
- have junior standing (complete at least 56 hours).
- have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or better before beginning the summer semester in Belgium.
- be accepted to the Semester in Antwerp program.
Specifically, the minor will consist of six courses and 18 hours. Students will take MKTG 380 at JMU in Harrisonburg, then complete 15 hours during a summer session in Belgium.
Required Courses | Credit Hours |
MKTG 380. Principles of Marketing | 3 |

A Mediacom proposal for public-access television that calls for users to pay hourly fees for studio and airtime is "ridiculous," a leader of the Columbia Media Resource Alliance said.
The cable television company on Sept. 15 submitted a proposal to the Columbia City Council that provides a public-access channel and studio through an agreement with KMIZ/KQFX. It requires users, however, to pay $80 per hour for studio production time, $35 an hour for program editing and $30 an hour for broadcast time.
David Wilson, vice president of the Columbia Media Resource Alliance, said the concept of "user fees that high is ridiculous."
"It really goes against the spirit of the public access," Wilson said. "I think it's a shame that Mediacom has wasted this much of the city's time and is now attempting to pass off this half-baked scheme."
The city's franchise agreements with Mediacom and Charter Communications requires that the companies provide studio facilities and equipment for use by the public on a public-access channel. Under its plan, Mediacom would cooperate with Charter to create the channel.
Mediacom estimates the two would spend $84,500 to get the channel running and $62,500 per year in operating expenses thereafter. The proposal would provide a full-time public-access channel director and use of a studio and broadcast equipment at KMIZ/KQFX, including a professional master controller that would guarantee programming 24 hours a day.
The Columbia Media Resource Alliance for more than two years has tried to work with the city and Mediacom to create a public-access channel. Wilson said he is confident the City Council is on top of the issue and will negotiate for a channel that is more accessible.
Susan Crigler, assistant city attorney, agreed the city probably will negotiate.
"I think it's just a starting place," she said of the proposal, "but they want to get moving on this."
Mediacom and Charter said all proceeds from the user fees would go to a remote fund allocated for production staff and the future purchase of remote production equipment for use by users of the channel.
Gary Baugh, director of operations for Mediacom, said cable companies commonly charge user fees for public-access channels.
In St. Louis, however, Charter Communications provides public-access Channel 18 at no cost. In Jefferson City, Mediacom pays franchise fees to the city, which in turn funds the public-access channel JCTV. Mediacom said it and Charter plan to launch the public-access channels in January at the latest. Mediacom would use Channel 8 and Charter would use Channel 21.

WEEI reports that Terry Francona will interview for the Cardinals' managerial job today. The club wants to have someone in place next week.
From afar Francona seems like such a good fit. He's been expected to win-now for most of the past decade, so going to a win-now job — this one without clubhouse crankiness like he had in Boston — seems natural. The only x-factor is if left Boston just because that situation was deteriorating for him or, instead, if he generally is burned out right now.
As a person who has been burned out before, I can attest that it is really hard to hide that, even in a job interview, so I guess St. Louis will figure that out.
- JBerardi - Nov 8, 2011 at 10:43 AM
Managing an NL team does not play to Francona's strengths. Even in the AL, his bullpen management is suspect. And I'm not sure he even knows that pinch hitting is a thing you're allowed to do in baseball.
- paperlions - Nov 8, 2011 at 10:59 AM
If he also doesn't know about sac bunts, double switches, and IBBs…I can live without pinch hitters
- SmackSaw - Nov 8, 2011 at 11:10 AM
You do know he managed the Phillies for four years?
- paperlions - Nov 8, 2011 at 11:15 AM
- SmackSaw - Nov 8, 2011 at 11:21 AM
And he knows the difference between sac bunts, double switches, and IBBs and pinch hitters. I'm going to assume you're being sarcastic. Yeah, that's it. Nobody's that stupid. LOL! Good one.
- paperlions - Nov 8, 2011 at 11:23 AM
Yes…it was sarcasm…but sincere sarcasm.
- lovesmesomeme - Nov 8, 2011 at 11:40 AM
Your absolutely right let's get on the phone with him and tell him not to show up for the interview. Let's drag TLR out of the bar and beg him to get into his white van and come back or we hire the Latin guy who coaches third base Jose something or other
- JBerardi - Nov 8, 2011 at 12:06 PM
"You do know he managed the Phillies for four years?"
And he wasn't a good tactical manager then, either.
- SmackSaw - Nov 8, 2011 at 10:53 AM
The way Boston imploded, he really should take some time off.
- smackingfools - Nov 8, 2011 at 11:09 AM
Party time!
- cintiphil - Nov 8, 2011 at 11:10 AM
I think he knows the difference between the leagues. He has experience in all kinds of baseball just growing up. IF he never played or managed in the NL, I am sure that he has an idea on pinch hitting, double switches, and bunts and so on. Who knows if he will be a fit in St. Lou? They will have to determine that in the interview. I would like to see him in Cinti.
- tophermike - Nov 8, 2011 at 11:13 AM
still would prefer they give Oquendo a shot. give him a 1 year deal (helps sign Albert) and see how he does. he may be just what the club needs…
- paperlions - Nov 8, 2011 at 11:19 AM
I would also like to see Oquendo get a shot….but you can't sign a guy to a 1 yr deal as his first contract….that immediately undermines your authority…players have to view managers/coaches as permanent fixtures.
- SmackSaw - Nov 8, 2011 at 11:24 AM
You know that it used to be normal practice to give managers only one year contracts? Walter Alston had 23 one year contracts.
- stlouis1baseball - Nov 8, 2011 at 11:31 AM
Your right Smack Saw. TLR also operated on (1) year deals for about the last 5 – 7 years he was in in St. Louis. I think in this case however, you need to show your confidence in Oquendo by signing him to a 3 year deal. If it doesn't work out…so be it. But there is a reason he has been groomed for this over the last several years. Do the right thing and promote the Man. If it helps with signing A.P. great. But regardless…I think it needs to be done. Really hoping all these intereviews are mere formalities and Jose ultimately gets the job.
- paperlions - Nov 8, 2011 at 11:32 AM
It used to be common practice to give players 1 yr contracts, because no other team was allowed to offer them one. A lot of things used to be common practice because people couldn't do anything about it….in today's game, a 1 yr deal for a new manager is like slapping an interim tag on his title.
- halladaysbiceps - Nov 8, 2011 at 11:13 AM
Am I the only one that thinks that it may behoove Francona to take a year off from managing, given what happened in Boston last year? Maybe he needs to have his batteries recharged.
- paperlions - Nov 8, 2011 at 11:17 AM
Leaving Boston (the organization and over-the-top knee-jerk media) is enough recharge anyone's batteries….compared to life as the Red Sox manager, being the Cardinals managers is downright relaxing.
- halladaysbiceps - Nov 8, 2011 at 11:22 AM
I am very familiar with Tito. He managed the Phillies for a few years, as you know. He lets players get away with murder in the clubhouse. I can remember hearing the reports in Philly that win or lose, he had a relaxed clubhouse, with large buffets. Players joking around. Didn't matter if they lost. He wanted to be everybody's buddy.
Not my kind of manager. If I were the Cards, I wouldn't want any part of him.
- paperlions - Nov 8, 2011 at 11:27 AM
Dude….every team has a buffet after every game…that isn't the manager's domain….and regular season losses are no big deal…every team is going to have at least 50 of them and probably more than 60…you can't approach every game like it is life and death…that will wear out a team mentally/emotionally.
In Boston there were zero reported problems for 7.8 yrs…then the team collapses (mostly due to injuries), and suddenly he can't manage a clubhouse.
- halladaysbiceps - Nov 8, 2011 at 11:35 AM
Every team has a buffet in the clubhouse? Not then. I know for a fact from the Phillies beat reporters that Tito was the one who pushed the buffet issue in the clubhouse. Before him, this was non-existent. And this was from the guys that followed the team for years.
Besides that, I could have had a monkey manage that Red Sox team and they would have won. Are you kidding me? With all that talent they had/have.
Tito is a milk toast manager. Everyone knows it. Philly knew it and got rid of him. The Phillies had to hire Larry Bowa to gain control back in the clubhouse. Now, Boston fans know it. He lost control of his clubhouse, and allowed guys to drink during the game and screw around. This is irrefutable.
- JBerardi - Nov 8, 2011 at 12:04 PM
"I know for a fact from the Phillies beat reporters"
I'm not sure you even know what a fact is.
- halladaysbiceps - Nov 8, 2011 at 12:09 PM
Simple question: Why are you trying to start shit again?
- lovesmesomeme - Nov 8, 2011 at 2:13 PM
Halladays right JB he has been both of the clubhouses in Boston and Philly and is intimate with the inner workings of the buffet scene as well as the reason Tito was let go in Philly. Leave him alone and stop starting stuff
- stlouis1baseball - Nov 8, 2011 at 11:33 AM
I couldn't agree more. My guess…after the time spent in Boston (and the subsequent fallout)…he is still a little "punch drunk" so to speak. The time off could do him some good. If he manages though…I am hoping he follows Theo to Chicago.
- cur68 - Nov 8, 2011 at 11:18 AM
Guy came within 1 win of the post season with a rotation that had Lackey & Matsuzaka in it; an infield where his 3rd baseman had a growing sports hernia, his 1st baseman was not exactly spry; and the bullpen had and a set up man who thought the strike zone was hitting the Durham Bull between the horns. I bet he'd be thrilled to work with an organization like the Cards. He's got all off season to get over the Sox. I hope he gets the job.
- uyf1950 - Nov 8, 2011 at 11:36 AM
He came within 2 games. One game only would have gotten the Sox into a "play in" game against the Rays.
- cur68 - Nov 8, 2011 at 12:02 PM
Fair enough. But I'm sure you'll appreciate that "1 game of a 1 game playoff/playin" doesn't exactly roll off the old keyboard?
- stlouis1baseball - Nov 8, 2011 at 11:27 AM
This is getting ridiculous. PROMOTE THE CURRENT THRID BASE COACH AND SIGN HIM TO A THREE YEAR CONTRACT!!! I am really hoping the Organization is ultimately going to do this and all this other stuff is just window dressing. DO IT NOW!
- paperlions - Nov 8, 2011 at 11:34 AM
I have no problem with them having a thorough process to choose a manager…..though, like you, I am strongly rooting for Jose to get the job at the end of the process….in the end, they will have had infinitely more information on which to base their decision than we will have to judge it….so…even though I have my biased preferences…I am just hoping they make a good decision.
- 78mu - Nov 8, 2011 at 11:42 AM
Yeah, if they aren't going to ask the Rays for permission to speak to Maddon they should go with Jose.
- Francisco (FC) - Nov 8, 2011 at 5:19 PM
Wow man. Chill, bask in the glory of your World Series Championship. It's not even Christmas yet and you're already hyperventilating about next season. What's the point of that great post-season run if it wears off in less than a week?
- okwhitefalcon - Nov 8, 2011 at 11:57 AM
I've got to say this process (along with the Albert situation) has me a bit unsettled – leaving Mo and Dewitt to their own devices scares the hell outta me.
- paperlions - Nov 8, 2011 at 12:04 PM
Agreed 100%….I try not to think about it. It helps to go to MLB.com and watch the condensed versions of games 6 and 7.
- okwhitefalcon - Nov 8, 2011 at 4:10 PM
That may very will be my next avenue, I've youtubed almost every fan shot vid of "Freese walkoff homer" possible along with "Rangers fan reaction" – those two ease the anxiety to a degree.
I always come back to Dewitt and Mo sitting in an office mulling over that 110 million dollar payroll they're projecting and what '"low hanging fruit" they'll have as the next field manager.
- spudchukar - Nov 8, 2011 at 1:04 PM
Pretty much in agreement here. Hope Oquendo is the new skipper. Keeping Duncan and Pettini might also be wise. A little stability, some sage advice, and gravitas. Plus it would take some of the pressure off a 48 year old who will have to exert himself, with the strong presence of established stars, Holliday, Berkman, Pujols and Molina.
- paperlions - Nov 8, 2011 at 2:01 PM
I would like to see this situation as well….though the Cardinal veterans (as a group) seem to be more team first than me first.
- spudchukar - Nov 8, 2011 at 2:45 PM
My only concern with Oquendo will be how tough he will be when the situation arises. You are correct about the make-up of their stars, but whether you like TLR or not his presence was not something you challenged. Oquendo still has to prove himself. Hope he gets the chance.
- paperlions - Nov 8, 2011 at 5:56 PM
Oh….there was no doubt about who was in charge when TLR was around….and that was a good thing, he wasn't the best at managing inter-personal relationships or getting guys to buy in…but you always knew who was 100% charge.
- okwhitefalcon - Nov 8, 2011 at 4:21 PM
For sure spud, would love to see Oquendo although I'm just certain he has the presence that his team will take on and be a reflection of.
Love or hate TLR, he was the undeniable leader of the franchise.
Big shoes to fill but hardly unfillable.

The Pentagon's new Cyber Command became fully operational last week and now is trying to expand its role globally by launching offensive actions.
The offensive actions might include shutting down part of an opponent's computer network to preempt a cyberattack against a U.S. target. They could also include changing a line of code in an adversary's computer to render malicious software harmless. These are seen as operations that can destroy, disrupt or degrade targeted computers or networks.
But the Washington Post reports that the request is drawing harsh objections from the White House and the CIA.
The White House is worried about legal implications of the offensive action, and the CIA argues that covert operations are the responsibility of the CIA and the State Department and could have significant diplomatic backlash from the attacks.
The Cyber Command agreed to release an updated cyber strategy by the end of the year that aims to address some of these concerns.

An explanation of thermal behaviour of thick film strain gauges
Zheng, Yulan, Atkinson, John and Sion, Russell (2003) An explanation of thermal behaviour of thick film strain gauges. Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 36, (9), 1153-1158. (doi: 10.1088/0022-3727/36/9/314).
Full text not available from this repository.
Earlier study shows that resistor thickness of the thick film strain gauge can affect its temperature characteristic, which is usually a roughly parabolic curve. Thicker resistors tend to exhibit a higher positive temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) and a lower T&min;, the temperature at which the TCR changes to zero in the curve. This paper presents a possible explanation of this observation based on an analysis of strain profiles and resistivity behaviour difference in resistors with different thicknesses subjected to temperature variation.

Sandoghdar, Farid (1995) Connectedness of the attractor of an iterated function system. Masters thesis, Concordia University.
| PDF 1520Kb |
We will study the action of a finite family, $\{ F\sb i\} \sbsp {i=1}{m},$ of contractive mappings on a compact subset of a complete metric space. The family $\{ F\sb i\} \sbsp {i=1}{m},$ is known as an iterated function system (IFS). Although many of the results presented here can be generalized to an arbitrary complete metric space, we will restrict ourselves to the metric space ($\IR\sp{n}$, Euclidean distance). Using the notion of Minkowski sausages, we will define a distance function, h (the Hausdorff distance), on the space of all compact subsets of $\IR\sp{n}$ denoted by ${\cal H}(\IR\sp{n})$. The pair (${\cal H}(\IR\sp n), h)$ forms a complete metric space in which we will establish the existence of a unique "point" ${\cal A}$ (compact subset of $\IR\sp n)$ satisfying the equation $\cup \sbsp{i=1}{m}\ F\sb i({\cal A}) = {\cal A}.$ We will explore various characterizations of the compact set ${\cal A}$ which is referred to as the attractor of the IFS $\{ F\sb i\} \sbsp {i=1}{m}$. The topological properties of an attractor depend on the contractive mappings constituting the corresponding IFS. The main purpose of this study is to investigate conditions under which an attractor will have certain connectivity properties. Among these properties will be considered total disconnectedness, connectedness and arcwise connectedness. We will see that in fact, the notions of connectedness and arcwise connectedness coincide in the case of an attractor. Some other topological properties of attractors including property S, local connectedness and semi-local connectedness will also be discussed.

Where are you located? In some parts of the country you can still find sailmakers that are adept with traditional rigs like yours.
Older wooden boats can require a tremendous amount of work and money. Although they are often cheaper than a fiberglass boat of similar size unless you can do all of your own work you may find it a lot less expensive in the long run to go with fiberglass.

Thanks for the reply. I am in Port Huron, Michigan (eastern Michigan). I don't know of any lofts in Michigan, perhaps you do.
As for the costs, I am currently trying to get a rough calculation. I am very well connected with knowledgeable sailors and carpenters and have a full shop designed to cater to a 154 wooden schooner at my disposal, so I have a lot of help there. My intention is to hopefully make up for some of that money with extra labor as much as possible. If i can get the boat into serviceable and safe condition, then i can slowly start fixing her up more and more over the years, ie buy one new sail at a time, upgrade electronics, arrange the interior to my liking, new rigging, new engine, etc. As long as i keep my steady job, i have no costs except for food and smokes (trying to fix the latter) and the other occasional things that come up. with any luck i can turn her into a fairly nice boat in a few years

On the tube: Making the case for 'The Jury' Friday, April 04, 2003 By Betsy Kline, Post-Gazette Staff Writer
American television is rife with crime dramas told from the point of view of the police, forensic scientists and legal eagles. "Masterpiece Theatre's" latest series, a contemporary murder mystery seen solely from the perspective of a British jury, is a refreshing, intellectually stimulating four-parter that allows viewers to share the jurors' vacillating doubts and frustrations as each new piece of evidence is introduced.
WHEN: 9 p.m. Sundays through April 27 on WQED.
STARRING: Derek Jacobi, Anthony Sher, Rose Davies and Michael Maloney.
Written by Peter Morgan, directed by Pete Travis and filmed in part at London's historic Old Bailey, "The Jury" is a tightly paced six hours that leaves you suspended in doubt. Is Duvinder Singh, a slight 15-year-old Sikh schoolboy, guilty of the savage sword slaying of a white classmate who bullied him?
We meet the 12 jurors as they answer their summons to civic duty, most with an almost reverential awe that might seem odd to Americans. They are plunged immediately into a racially charged case that is the talk of London. Arguing the case are Queen's Counsels George Cording (Derek Jacobi) for the defense and Gerald Lewis (Anthony Sher) for the prosecution. They bring all their grandstanding eloquence and sly winking to bear on the only audience that matters, the jury.
Some of those jurors come with their own baggage, in the form of class, economic and racial differences. They all go home to their own troubles at the end of each mentally and emotionally draining day. And as the trial progresses, two become targets of intimidation by the victim's vengeful brothers.
There's Rose (Helen McCrory), the beautician who brings a change of clothing to court to allow her to slip into a new persona as a means of escaping a stagnant marriage; Johnnie Donne (Gerard Butler), the recovering alcoholic who falls for Rose; Marcia Thomas (Nina Sosanya), the single mother struggling with her strained relationship with her own mother; Peter Segal (Michael Maloney), the insurance man with a meddling father-in-law.
There's also Jeremy Crawford (Nicholas Farrell), the family man ruined by stock-market gambling; Charles Gore (Stuart Bunce), the seminarian having doubts about his calling; and Elsie Beamish (the remarkable Sylvia Syms), the elderly Catholic widow whose loneliness draws her to Charles.
Viewers see so much mirrored in their faces as they struggle to make sense of conflicting evidence and theories. When they are finally sent to the jury room to deliberate, the pent-up tension nearly explodes.
"The Jury" will command your attention until the final scene.

Brilliant Benayoun blasts Burnley
A Yossi Benayoun hat-trick allowed Liverpool to demonstrate that they have learnt lessons from last season with a 4-0 victory over Burnley at Anfield.
In 2008/09 the Reds' Premier League title challenge was undermined by home draws against supposedly lesser opposition, but they had no such problems on Saturday as three goals from Benayoun sandwiched around a Dirk Kuyt strike earned the points.
A victory over Stoke in August had given evidence of progression against teams who shut up shop, but defeats to Tottenham and Aston Villa also damaged credentials and gave newly-promoted Burnley hope.
The Clarets started with energy, but the variety of their hosts' play soon dominated and the superb Benayoun showed excellent composure to break the deadlock in the 27th minute.
Liverpool continued to control possession, with only a couple of scares from Martin Paterson, and Kuyt added a second after 41 minutes when Brian Jensen fumbled a Benayoun effort.
Benayoun netted his second of the afternoon in the 61st minute with a simple finish after good work from captain Steven Gerrard, before the Israel international ensured he would be taking the match ball home in the closing stages.
Rafa Benitez made two changes from the side which won at Bolton a fortnight ago, with Martin Skrtel returning to central defence in place of Greece international Sotirios Kyrgiakos.
With Javier Mascherano suffering a muscle injury while on international duty with Argentina and not arriving back until late Friday, Benayoun came into the side.
Tremendous impact
And what a tremendous impact he made, with a goal and a display of running power that Burnley never came to terms with.
The Clarets, in their first league visit to Anfield for 33 years, retained the side that lost at Chelsea last time out, with new loan signing David Nugent - a former Liverpool trainee - on the bench.
The absence of Mascherano meant that Gerrard played in a much deeper role, alongside Lucas Leiva in the centre of midfield, with Benayoun and Kuyt left to play just behind Fernando Torres.
Burnley started well with Paterson firing wide from the edge of the box, while Kuyt produced a low shot at the other end that produced the first of many saves by Jensen.
Liverpool slowly built up possession, moving the ball quickly and Torres saw a curling 20-yard shot clear the far post.
But Burnley had Steven Fletcher and Paterson interchanging positions up front and the visitors were quick and dangerous on the break.
Liverpool's best early chance came when Emiliano Insua's chip was headed a foot wide by Benayoun, the beginning of a purple patch from the 29-year-old.
The lively Israel captain broke the deadlock with a gem of a goal after 27 minutes.
He surged from midfield, turned away from Graham Alexander and moved into the box to fire across Jensen and into the bottom corner.
Benayoun almost added another a minute later when he met Albert Riera's cross with a low header that Jensen blocked, the Burnley goalkeeper also keeping out Kuyt's follow-up.
Jensen had to keep out drives from Benayoun and Lucas before Paterson forced his way past Gerrard to unleash a rising drive that was held by Jose Reina.
But Liverpool went further ahead after 41 minutes with a dynamic five-man break from defence.
Torres and Insua combined to set up Benayoun for a 20-yard shot that Jensen blocked, but only as far as Kuyt who clipped home from five yards.
The increasingly busy Jensen had to produce the save of the half to keep out a Gerrard 20-yard drive before the break.
Liverpool kept up their assault after the interval, with Riera seeing two efforts blocked while Jensen saved from a Kuyt flick.
Stephen Jordan was booked for a block on Torres before Burnley sent on Chris Eagles to replace Robbie Blake.
Torres was starting to stretch a tiring Burnley defence by now and only Tyrone Mears' fine saving tackle stopped the Spaniard in full flow.
But after 61 minutes Torres' pass played in a fiercely determined Gerrard, who battered his way past two men in the box to find Benayoun on the far post for a tap-in.
Liverpool sent on Swiss defender Philipp Degen for Glen Johnson and Andriy Voronin for the hard-running Kuyt, the game well won by now, and Burnley responded by giving Nugent his debut for Paterson.
Benayoun had an effort ruled out for offside and Gerrard forced his way through again to hit a post, before David Ngog took over from Torres.
There was still time for Benayoun to secure his hat-trick after 81 minutes. Voronin's pass sent him clear in the box - played onside by Jordan - and he side-footed the ball past an exposed Jensen.
Eagles was booked for a foul on Benayoun, Jensen saved again from Gerrard and Voronin missed when clear, with Burnley just wanting it all to end.

9 Steps to Better Blog Post Ideas
Blogging category is sponsored by How to Create a Blog in 59 Seconds. Create your own blog in less than one minute, join the blogging family, and start enjoying the dotcom lifestyle today. Get your own Blog for $0.01 ▶
Ever have one of those days where you know you need to post something but you just can't come up with a good idea? We all do. Blogging is not as easy as some people would like you to believe. But there are steps you can take to assure you don't hit that slump. Here are nine steps to help you come up with more – and better – blog post ideas.
Make Time For Writing
It seems like the more you're pressed for time the harder it is to come up with a great idea. That's because you're more worried about the clock and all the things you still have on your To-Do list. Set aside a regular block of time to focus on producing great content. It can a set time each day and you produce one blog post, or a larger block of time two or three times a week where you produce multiple posts. Either way, carve out a niche and stick to it.
Write Your Title First
Sometimes you just have so many ideas floating around in your head you don't know where to start. Consequently, you never start. When this happens to me I sit down and start writing titles, focusing on one keyword and one specific problem. Sometimes I put together a list of titles before I hit on the best idea for the day but that just gives me more ideas for the future.
Keep A File For Ideas
Great blog post ideas probably pop into your head all day long and you think you'll remember them the next time you sit down to write. Of course, that never happens, right? Start a file and when you have those great ideas jot them down and save them for future reference.
Watch Trending Topics
You'd be surprised how often you can relate a trending topic to your own niche. Watch Google Trends to see what's hot for the day and take advantage of that extra online interest.
Pay Attention To Stats
Watch your own traffic stats to see what content is attracting the most attention and then expand on it.
Expand An Idea
Go to one of your list posts or one of your links posts and choose one item or link to write about. As a plus, you'll be able to link back to that original post and get additional page views.
Read Other Relevant Blogs
As I'm reading other blogs I'm always thinking about how the information applies to my own business or life. You probably do, too, and you can use these comparisons and ideas for your own blog content. As you're reading make notes and put them in that idea file you created.
Plan Ahead
I like to sit down and map out a week or a month in advance. Some of the best blog posts I've ever written or read have been series posts. And planning ahead allows you to map out a linking strategy between different online properties you own. Even if you're not linking building or writing a series, if you sit down and map out your week you'll always know what you're going to write about that day.
Have A Goal For Each Post
Some of my best blog posts have started with: What do I want my readers to do today? I'm I focusing on building my list? Am I trying to get more RSS subscribers? Start by deciding what goal you want to achieve and let that determine your content for the day.

Great article, Steven! I'd also add in using questions and conversations that you have with customers. I always use those customer emails or calls for blog post ideas. And since it's coming from the customers, you know that it's content that other customers and potential customers are interested in.
As one who usually comes up with my title after having written a blogpost, I like this idea of starting the other way around. You're right about writing down ideas right away — many of my best ideas seem to occur in the shower.

- How to Read a Study Record
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) are diagnostic tests that allow researchers to look at different chemical properties of tissue. Magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy studies can be used to gather or evaluate information about various aspects of patient s bodies or to monitor changes in the biochemistry and physiology of patient s bodies.
Unlike other diagnostic techniques (CT scan and PET scan) MRI and MRS do not use ionizing radiation. Some studies have shown that MRI is more effective at distinguishing normal parts of the anatomy from abnormal anatomy, especially in the brain. MRI has become the diagnostic test of choice for evaluating patient with multiple sclerosis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate normal volunteers and patients with a variety of diseases with magnetic resonance imaging. Researchers will attempt different magnetic resonance imaging methods and techniques as well as different levels of magnetic strength.

Official Title: | Magnetic Resonance Imaging at 1.5 and 3.0 Tesla |
Estimated Enrollment: | 99999999 |
Study Start Date: | June 1987 |
MRI is a constantly evolving imaging modality and MR. Pulse sequences are often modified to improve their performance. However, many of these changes have not yet been approved by the FDA and therefore, are not considered standard of care. Some of these sequences require the use of new types of imaging coils, which are also investigational. The major purpose of this protocol is to inform patients undergoing MR scans in the Clinical Center that they may undergo scans that are not FDA approved and to get the patient's consent for this. This is not a formal research study since specific disease entities and specific pulse sequences are not studied in a systematic way. Rather, the purpose is to give NIH patients access to gradual improvements in MR technology that would otherwise not be available to them. A secondary purpose is to inform patients about the risks of MRI and gadolinium chelates which are commonly employed in MRI.
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |

Local media outlets report that a Middlesex County judge ordered Mark Kerrigan back to jail on Friday for six more months for violating his probation. Kerrigan was sentenced to 2˝ years after being convicted of assault and battery in connection with the 2010 death of his father. He was released early and placed on probation. Kerrigan asked this summer to return to jail to finish out his sentence rather than adhere to his probation conditions, which included alcohol counseling. His probation officer told the judge that Kerrigan tested positive for alcohol and marijuana. Kerrigan told the judge who agreed to his request, "I found the six months was far less an imposition than the two years of probation."

Oracle Text Application Developer's Guide Release 9.0.1 Part Number A90122-01 |
Indexing, 3 of 6
You use the CREATE INDEX statement to create an Oracle Text index. When you create an index and specify no parameter string, an index is created with default parameters.
You can also override the defaults and customize your index to suit your query application. The parameters and preference types you use to customize your index with CREATE INDEX fall into the following general categories.
With Oracle Text, you can create one of three index types with CREATE INDEX. The following table describes each type, its purpose, and what features it supports:
Your document text can reside in one of three places, the text table, the file system, or the world-wide web. When you index with CREATE INDEX, you specify the location using the datastore preference. Use the appropriate datastore according to your application.
The following table describes all the different ways you can store your text with the datastore preference type.
Indexing time and document retrieval time will be increased for indexing URLs since the system must retrieve the document from the network.
Formatted documents such as Microsoft Word and PDF must be filtered to text to be indexed. The type of filtering the system uses is determined by the FILTER preference type. By default the system uses the INSO_FILTER filter type which automatically detects the format of your documents and filters them to text.
Oracle can index most formats. Oracle can also index columns that contain documents with mixed formats.
If you are indexing HTML or plain text files, do not use the INSO_FILTER type. For best results, use the NULL_FILTER preference type.
If you have a mixed format column such as one that contains Microsoft Word, plain text, and HTML documents, you can bypass filtering for plain text or HTML by including a format column in your text table. In the format column, you tag each row TEXT or BINARY. Rows that are tagged TEXT are not filtered.
For example, you can tag the HTML and plain text rows as TEXT and the Microsoft Word rows as BINARY. You specify the format column in the CREATE INDEX parameter clause.
You can create your own custom filter to filter documents for indexing. You can create either an external filter that is executed from the file system or an internal filter as a PL/SQL or Java stored procedure.
For external custom filtering, use the USER_FILTER filter preference type.
For internal filtering, use the PROCEDURE_FILTER filter type.
You can bypass rows in your text table that are not to be indexed, such as rows that contain image data. To do so, create a format column in your table and set it to IGNORE. You name the format column in the parameter clause of CREATE INDEX.
The indexing engine expects filtered text to be in the database character set. When you use the INSO_FILTER filter type, formatted documents are converted to text in the database character set.
If your source is text and your document character set is not the database character set, you can use the INSO_FILTER or CHARSET_FILTER filter type to convert your text for indexing.
If your document set contains documents with different character sets, such as JA16EUC and JA16SJIS, you can index the documents provided you create a charset column. You populate this column with the name of the document character set on a per-row basis. You name the column in the parameter clause of the CREATE INDEX statement.
Oracle can index most languages. By default, Oracle assumes the language of text to index is the language you specify in your database setup.
You use the BASIC_LEXER preference type to index whitespace-delimited languages such as English, French, German, and Spanish. For some of these languages you can enable alternate spelling, composite word indexing, and base letter conversion.
You can also index Japanese, Chinese, and Korean.
Oracle can index text columns that contain documents of different languages, such as a column that contains documents written in English, German, and Japanese. To index a multi-language column, you need a language column in your text table. Use the MULTI_LEXER preference type.
You can also incorporate a multi-language stoplist when you index multi-language columns.
When you use the BASIC_LEXER preference type, you can specify how non-alphanumeric characters such as hyphens and periods are indexed with respect to the tokens that contain them. For example, you can specify that Oracle include or exclude hyphen character (-) when indexing a word such as web-site.
These characters fall into BASIC_LEXER categories according to the behavior you require during indexing. The way the you set the lexer to behave for indexing is the way it behaves for query parsing.
Some of the special characters you can set are as follows:
Define a non-alphanumeric character as printjoin when you want this character to be included in the token during indexing.
For example, if you want your index to include hyphens and underscore characters, define them as printjoins. This means that words such as web-site are indexed as web-site. A query on website does not find web-site.
Define a non-alphanumeric character as a skipjoin when you do not want this character to be indexed with the token that contains it.
For example, with the hyphen (-) character defined as a skipjoin, the word web-site is indexed as website. A query on web-site finds documents containing website and web-site.
Other characters can be specified to control other tokenization behavior such as token separation (startjoins, endjoins, whitespace), punctuation identification (punctuations), number tokenization (numjoins), and word continuation after line-breaks (continuation). These categories of characters have defaults, which you can modify.
By default, all text tokens are converted to uppercase and then indexed. This results in case-insensitive queries. For example, separate queries on each of the three words cat, CAT, and Cat all return the same documents.
You can change the default and have the index record tokens as they appear in the text. When you create a case-sensitive index, you must specify your queries with exact case to match documents. For example, if a document contains Cat, you must specify your query as Cat to match this document. Specifying cat or CAT does not return the document.
To enable or disable case-sensitive indexing, use the mixed_case attribute of the BASIC_LEXER preference.
You can enable the following language specific features at index time:
For English and French, you can index document theme information. A document theme is a main document concept. Themes can be queried with the ABOUT operator.
You can index theme information in other languages provided you have loaded and compiled a knowledge base for the language.
By default themes are indexed in English and French. You can enable and disable theme indexing with the index_themes attribute of the BASIC_LEXER preference type.
Some languages contain characters with diacritical marks such as tildes, umlauts, and accents. When your indexing operation converts words containing diacritical marks to their base letter form, queries need not contain diacritical marks to score matches. For example in Spanish with a base-letter index, a query of energía matches energía and energia in the index.
However, with base-letter indexing disabled, a query of energía matches only energía.
You can enable and disable base-letter indexing for your language with the base_letter attribute of the BASIC_LEXER preference type.
Languages such as German, Danish, and Swedish contain words that have more than one accepted spelling. For instance, in German, the ä character can be substituted for the ae character. The ae character is known as the base letter form.
By default, Oracle indexes words in their base-letter form for these languages. Query terms are also converted to their base-letter form. The result is that these words can be queried with either spelling.
You can enable and disable alternate spelling for your language using the alternate_spelling attribute in the BASIC_LEXER preference type.
German and Dutch text contain composite words. By default, Oracle creates composite indexes for these languages. The result is that a query on a term returns words that contain the term as a sub-composite.
For example, in German, a query on the term Bahnhof (train station) returns documents that contain Bahnhof or any word containing Bahnhof as a sub-composite, such as Hauptbahnhof, Nordbahnhof, or Ostbahnhof.
You can enable and disable the creation of composite indexes with the composite attribute of the BASIC_LEXER preference.
You index these languages with specific lexers:
Language | Lexer |
Korean |
Japanese |
Chinese |
The KOREAN_MORPH_LEXER has its own set of attributes to control indexing. Features include composite word indexing.
Fuzzy matching enables you to match similarly spelled words in queries. Stemming enables you to match words with the same linguistic root.
Fuzzy matching and stemming are automatically enabled in your index if Oracle Text supports this feature for your language.
Fuzzy matching is enabled with default parameters for its similarity score lower limit and for its maximum number of expanded terms. At index time you can change these default parameters.
Wildcard queries enable you to issue left-truncated, right-truncated and doubly truncated queries, such as %ing, cos%, or %benz%. With normal indexing, these queries can sometimes expand into large word lists, degrading your query performance.
Wildcard queries have better response time when token prefixes and substrings are recorded in the index.
By default, token prefixes and substrings are not recorded in the Oracle Text index. If your query application makes heavy use of wildcard queries, consider indexing token prefixes and substrings. To do so, use the wordlist preference type. The trade-off is a bigger index for improved wildcard searching.
For documents that have internal structure such as HTML and XML, you can define and index document sections. Indexing document sections enables you to narrow the scope of your queries to within pre-defined sections. For example, you can specify a query to find all documents that contain the term dog within a section you define as Headings.
Sections must be defined prior to indexing and specified with the section group preference.
Oracle Text provides section groups with system-defined section definitions for HTML and XML. You can also specify that the system automatically create sections from XML documents during indexing.
A stopword is a word that is not to be indexed. Usually stopwords are low information words in a given language such as this and that in English.
By default, Oracle provides a list of stopwords called a stoplist for indexing a given language. You can modify this list or create your own with the CTX_DDL package. You specify the stoplist in the parameter string of CREATE INDEX.
A stoptheme is a word that is prevented from being theme-indexed or prevented from contributing to a theme. You can add stopthemes with the CTX_DDL package.
You can search document themes with the ABOUT operator. You can retrieve document themes programatically with the CTX_DOC PL/SQL package.
You can also create multi-language stoplists to hold language-specific stopwords. A multi-language stoplist is useful when you use the MULTI_LEXER to index a table that contains documents in different languages, such as English, German, and Japanese.
At indexing time, the language column of each document is examined, and only the stopwords for that language are eliminated. At query time, the session language setting determines the active stopwords, like it determines the active lexer when using the multi-lexer.

So dont tell me that I dont understand what its like to be underprivileged and looked at funny in the street when I had to wear torn raggedy clothing as a kid. I'm not saying I incorporate this (clothing, hunger) to being black I am merely relating to being underprivileged.
not all blacks are underprivileged and not all whites are privileged.
Instead of writing PSs about the oppression and all that we as a people have been through how about standing up and being proud to be from a culture that is so deep and so rooted. The stuff I see on here is all about how there should be exclusive rights to minorities based on the simple fact that they are minorities. If a minority is the only label to which you carry I feel pity on you.
If nothing else, having grown up poor should make you more sensitive to how effed up it is to deal with something that you didn't choose that colors people's perceptions about you.
Who you are as a person shouldnt be representative of the color of your skin. Just like clothing. But by continuing to want special privileges bc of your skin is the same as discriminating against whites for being white.
The reason why a White Student Law Board would be offensive is because no one who runs it would have any idea what it means to be white, because no one ever thinks like that and there's no such thing as a "shared white culture." There are white people who celebrate their ethnicity (Jews, Italians) or geography (New Englanders and Southerners) but not their sole whiteness, because it would require them to acknowledge the privilegesthey receive solely because of the color of their skin and that quickly leads to racial supremacy. White folks rarely deconstruct the reason why whiteness exists because it's more of a manufactured concept than blackness. Anyone can be white as long as they have the skin. You can be a Russian fresh off the boat from Moscow and you can be as white as a 10th generation Southerner, but those two people would have no shared culture.
Are you saying that blacks are systematically excluded from law school? Cause if that IS the case then that is scary and society will NEVER get ahead that way. Ever.
Quote from: Mannyduler on February 20, 2006, 03:37:30 PMWho you are as a person shouldnt be representative of the color of your skin. Just like clothing. But by continuing to want special privileges bc of your skin is the same as discriminating against whites for being white. How in the world are you gonna compare clothing to skin color??Yes, who you are as a person shouldn't be representative of the color of your skin, but you're forgetting your skin color has a major impact on how OTHERS will treat you, regardless of how you carry yourself.

Information Technology (IT) students at Moraine Park Technical College's Fond du Lac campus are getting hands-on, real-world experience before graduation.
Under the supervision of instructors, IT-Technical Support/Networking students run a Computer Clinic to assist Moraine Park staff and students, as well as members of the community, with concerns regarding their home computers. Services include system cleanup, diagnosis and repair, and software and hardware installation.
"The Computer Clinic was started to give students real problems to work with," said Moraine Park IT-technical support specialist instructor Lisa Pollard. "Students need to contact customers, try to diagnose the problem, make sure they back up all necessary data, and follow through with the picking up of the computer."
When customers pick up their computers the students explain what they did and teach the customers how to maintain the computers. Pollard also said if people have technical questions, they can send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com
The Computer Clinic runs through the end of the fall semester in December, and will start up again with the spring semester.

| Allegro CL version 9.0 Unrevised from 8.2 to 9.0. 8.2 version |
Arguments: class-or-class-name
This function may be used to clear a cache that is used by class-grid
widgets and object-editor
dialogs if
programmatic changes may have made the cache out-of-date.
s and object-editor
s cache a list of the
instances that they display, along with the pretty names that are used
to present the instances to the end user. This is done to avoid
consing the pretty names when the instances are sorted by the pretty
names or presented in menus and so on. As long as the instances are
modified only by the end user via class-grid
s and object-editor
s, the cached pretty names are kept
up-to-date. But if an application uses some other means to modify the
instances so that their pretty names may no longer be up-to-date, then
it can call this function to clear the cache for one or all classes.
For example, if the primary-name-slot of the "person" class is
last-name, and the application programmatically changes the value of
that slot for one or more person instances, then it should call this
function on the person class.
class-or-class-name may be either a class
object or the name of a class. It can also be the keyword
to clear the entire cache of pretty names for
all classes.
