The Portsmouth Radio Club hosted a special Amateur Radio Station for the Boy Scout Jamboree. The Jamboree was held Saturday at the Mound Park Shelter House from 1 to 5 p.m.
William Massie, a member of the Portsmouth Radio Club, said he would teach the Scouts different areas of Amateur Radio during the Jamboree.
According to Massie, all of the local Boy Scout Troops were invited to this year's Jamboree.
"What we do is introduce Scouts to Amateur Radio and give them a chance to actually make on the air contacts, the Scouts direction-finding, Morse Code, and other facets of Amateur Radio," Massie said.
Massie said annual event that has taken place each year for the past 56 years. It is sponsored by the American Radio Relay League.
The World Scout Bureau reported that the 2010 JOTA had just over 700,000 Scout participants from nearly 6,000 amateur radio stations.
This year in Portsmouth, The Portsmouth Radio Club will be operating using the club's FCC call sign, N8QA.
Massie they were expecting at least 50 scouts to be in attendance.
Sean Little, age nine of Wevelos I Scout with Pack 21 in Wheelersburg, was the first Scout to arrive and participate in the Jamboree learning session. Dawn Little, the mother of Sean, and an assistant troop leader also attended the Jamboree.
"Mr. Massie came out and talked with our troop about Morse Code and Hamm operating, and the group loved it. When we found out the Jamboree would be going on we had to come," Dawn Little said.
The Portsmouth Radio Club President Gary Caldwell said the Jamboree is a good for the troops.
"With the Jamboree it is possible that the Scouts here can communicate with other Scouts around the world. Amateur Radio is a great avenue for young people to gain an interest in. It is a positive thing to do, and keeps the kids out of trouble," Caldwell said.
The event gives scouts a chance to actually talk with other scouts in the United States and around the world, as well as learn about amateur radio communications, getting their own license and working on their Communication merit badge.
For more information concerning this event, the ARRL has a page on their website www.arrl.org/jamboree-on-the-air-jota.

Scribble is a language to describe application-level protocols among communicating systems. A protocol represents an agreement on how participating systems interact with each other. Without a protocol, it is hard to do meaningful interaction: participants simply cannot communicate effectively, since they do not know when to expect the other parties to send data, or whether the other party is ready to receive data.
However, having a description of a protocol has further benefits. It enables verification to ensure that the protocol can be implemented without resulting in unintended consequences, such as deadlocks.
module examples;
global protocol HelloWorld(role Me, role World) {
hello(Greetings) from Me to World;
choice at World {
goodMorning(Compliments) from World to Me;
} or {
goodAfternoon(Salutations) from World to Me;
A very simply example, but this illustrates the basic syntax for a hello world interaction, where a party performing the role
Scribble is a language for describing multiparty protocols from a global, or endpoint neutral, perspective.
Scribble has a theoretical foundation, based on the Pi Calculus and Session Types, to ensure that protocols described using the language are sound, and do not suffer from deadlocks or livelocks.
Endpoint projection is the term used for identifying the responsibility of a particular role (or endpoint) within a protocol.
Various options exist, including (a) using the endpoint projection for a role to generate a skeleton code, (b) using session type APIs to clearly describe the behaviour, and (c) statically verify the code against the projection.
Use the endpoint projection for roles defined within a Scribble protocol, to monitor the activity of a particular endpoint, to ensure it correctly implements the expected behaviour.
"Scribbling is necessary for architects, either physical or computing, since all great ideas of architectural construction come from that unconscious moment, when you do not realise what it is, when there is no concrete shape, only a whisper which is not a whisper, an image which is not an image, somehow it starts to urge you in your mind, in so small a voice but how persistent it is, at that point you start scribbling." (Dr. Kohei Honda, 2007)

Comments about Cycleops Rollers Aluminum Bi-Fold:
I was looking for an indoor trainer that would be simple to set up and use and the Cycleops is perfect. It needs very little space, takes no time at all to set up and you don't have to do anything to your bike to use it. It takes a little practice to get going but if you can ride a bike, you can ride rollers! I have mine set up between two wall´s so getting started is easier. The Cycleops is the best indoor fitness item I've ever purchased. A little bit louder to use, but less then the turbo ones.

He did it - gamer-turned-racer Ordonez takes podium in Le Mans 24 Hour
Nissan's gamer-turned-racer Lucas Ordonez scored a podium finish in his debut drive in the world's highest profile motor race yesterday. Ordonez' Signatech Oreca 03 Nissan team led the LMP2 class of the 2011 Le Mans 24 Hours early, but a puncture dropped it to fiftieth place inside the first hour of the race. Undeterred, the team worked solidly to work its way back to ninth place outright and second in the LMP2 class, despite a second puncture late in the race. It's just three years since Ordonez won the Nissan Playstation Academy. Check the image gallery to see Lucas living the dream of a professional racer during race week in front of 250,000 fans.

Many types of citations (tickets) and fines issued in cities in Hennepin County are processed at Hennepin County District Court, including: parking , traffic, criminal, municipal ordinance, boating, and Department of Natural Resources (game and fish).
A "payable" citation is one that does NOT require a court appearance, and payments are made to the court office called Violations Bureau. View Payment Options.
Some citations are called "administrative" and are not payable to the court, but rather must be settled with the city government where they were issued. If the words "District Court" or "Violations Bureau" do NOT appear on the ticket, it is probably an "administrative" ticket. Carefully read the front and back of the ticket to see how and where you can pay or contest the ticket. MN Statutes § 169.999 allows local governments to issue administrative tickets in certain situations.
"Court-required" citations are those that require the person who got the ticket to appear in court at a specific date and time. If you got a citation that says "court required," the court will send you a "Notice to Appear" to the address currently listed on your driver's license or ID, or to the address you gave to the court during the case. You must appear at the hearing or a warrant may be issued for your arrest. Call (612)348-2040 if you need to change the hearing date. NOTE: If the court ordered you to pay a "fine," you cannot pay it online. You must pay court fines by mail or in person. View Payment Options for details.
You can meet with a hearing officer about a ticket if you believe that you are not guilty of the charge(s)or you cannot afford the fine. A hearing officer can explain possible options for settling a citation besides pleading guilty or paying the fine. In some cases, they can reduce or dismiss the charges, or give you other options to do community service rather than pay money. Approximately 90% of people who meet with a hearing officer settle their case. If your case does not settle with a hearing officer, it may get scheduled for a court hearing.

Anyone have any thoughts on large group awareness training? These "classes" typically exploit brain washing techniques and encourage group-think, recruitment of friends and family, and require large sums of money to rise to different "levels", though they are not quite as insidious as Scientology. Examples of such LGAT organizations are the Landmark Forum, New Era Trainings, Lifespring, etc.

Watching Monday night football. Nolans d is on point. Why the hell did we get rid of him?
Well the phinz were up, but then they let me down... again. Sigh
Nolan is a great D-Coordinator.
He is far from great.
Deshaun Watson is the TRUTH!
Nolan was good here as well, but the secondary has been a huge difference in this game. Even with Vontae, I'd say they have a better secondary than us.
Nolan WAS a great DC. I think you will find out this week how much we lost when he left. This defense has a lot of holes that offenses will start to find. Sanchez is terrible but I bet he throws for 300 vs this defense. Our back 7 is as bad as there is in the league. Nolan was great at hiding our weaknesses even with the low level of talent we had on defense. I don't think we will be able to do that this year vs division teams.
Mike Nolan runs a 3-4 defense - always has, always will
Joe Philbin runs a 4-3 defense
Dont want to bash the dolphins defensive players but the falcons actually has some guys that can make plays on the ball.

|ACH Announces Heart Screening Program for High School Students
Coach Tony Dungy Supports Program that Saves Young Lives through Education and Awareness
All Children's Specialty Physicians, in collaboration with The Cardiac Arrhythmia Syndromes (CAS) Foundation and Hillsborough County Public Schools have unveiled The SafeBeat Initiative. The Initiative will begin an awareness campaign to provide heart screenings to all Hillsborough County high school students beginning March 2010, at no charge to the student, parent, or school district.
"The SafeBeat Initiative will offer heart screening services to more than 60,000 Hillsborough County high school students beginning now and lasting through the 2011-2012 school year," said Gwen Luney, Hillsborough County Public Schools Assistant Superintendent for Student Services & Federal Programs. "This is a voluntary, opt-in program that requires parental consent. The results will be private and reported only to the parent."

Well! Here's something I didn't expect to see enter the tech world: condoms with QR codes.
Say what??
In a new campaign from Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest, 55,000 condoms have been distributed around local colleges and universities with a QR code, allowing them to be tracked at a website called WhereDidYouWearIt.com. Users can scan the QR code with their smartphones and anonymously upload their location as well as some general details about their experience.
Ummm….details about the experience? No pressure, or anything. And just when you thought you'd witnessed the epitome of TMI on other social networks!
It's essentially the Foursquare of getting frisky. Most definitely an unconventional and risky campaign from Planned Parenthood. But kind of innovative and interesting, too. Says a rep from Planned Parenthood, "Condoms are an essential tool in preventing unintended pregnancy and stopping the spread of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV…We hope the site promotes discussions within relationships about condoms and helps to remove perceived stigmas that some people may have about condom use. Where Did You Wear It attempts to create some fun around making responsible decisions."
So far, the experiment seems to be working. The safe sex map on the website reveals check-ins from all across the country and even internationally.
What do you think? Totally crazy? Or crazy enough it just might work?

Keegan Daniel says there's no in-fighting in the Sharks camp.
With five losses from five starts, the Sharks find themselves in the unfamiliar 12th position on the Super 14 log. Despite the player drain over the last couple of years, the Sharks still have one of the best squads in the tournament as they regularly field over 10 Springboks, but continue to disappoint their fans.
With every loss, the talk of a split between captain John Smit and the Du Plessis brothers Bismarck and Jannie, continues to surface. Bismarck has had to sit on the bench for two games, Jannie has started a couple, while Smit has started all the matches so far.
Daniel predictably backed his team-mates and coach, and said there were no off-field problems, although on the field the trio all look visibly frustrated. They have all been sin-binned throughout the season, while the Du Plessis brothers lambasted replacement scrumhalf Rory Kockott late in the Brumbies match for what they deemed a poor decision to pass to Jannie as the Sharks looked for the winning try.
'Talk of a split is bullshit,' Daniel told keo.co.za. 'Personally, I say there is no rift in the camp. We are the ones here and we know what's going on. People are just looking for a story and are looking for other reasons for the losses. The mood in the camp is great, we all see how we hang out together and get along.
'If people think a rift is the reason for losing, then that's what they must write, but it's not true.'
Whatever the reason for their poor form, the facts are that the Sharks have lost seven consecutive Super 14 matches and have won just one from their last 10. Most recently they went down to the Brumbies 24-22, the fourth time this season they've lost by less than five points.
'I wouldn't say confidence is a problem, although anyone will tell you that after five losses it does become harder to pick yourselves up,' said Daniel. 'We are positive as we've been so close in losing by narrow margins. We'd be having a different conversation right now if we'd won those.
'But we haven't been clinical enough in closing out games after being in good positions. Indiscipline again cost us against the Brumbies, as two penalties led to their tries.'
The Sharks' last victory in the competition came against the Highlanders, who they face on Saturday at Carisbrook. The Landers return from their South African road trip, where they were hammered by the Stormers and Bulls. They will also be jet-lagged after the return journey.
John Plumtree's charges have also won on their last three visits to the House of Pain, and if they don't repeat that this year, more questions will be rightfully raised.
'They say history doesn't lie and we have been successful there, but we mustn't take anything for granted,' said Daniel. 'We'll go in with confidence after doing reasonably well, but the Highlanders are still a Super 14 franchise who can play good rugby.'
Meanwhile, centres Adi Jacobs (knee) and Riaan Swanepoel (ankle) are battling to be fit for Saturday's match, while prop Deon Carstens is also struggling with a knee injury.

From the very top the boys sound ready to go rock the house. Chalk through the Horse is great, no problems at all. Silent is much improved, but Trey has some tiny off spots. Maze is great; IDK had a little monitor feedback dialing in the washboard? Ice was too fast, so Trey struggled a little and the middle came to a dead stop again. Divided had a spotty middle section, but not too bad, it still rocked. Good, solid Cavern to close up this exceptional set. Very nice!
It's fun that you can hear Trey screaming with excitement as they are getting into a good Buried Alive opener. Suzy is very playful and relaxed sounding. ATR was pretty good; Llama was also a screamer by the end. You can almost hear stage chuckling going on in the intro to Mound. Page and Mike excelled during the song even though it was also a little too fast. My Friend had some spots from Mike in the intro, but the song was pretty good and the end seemed to decay into Dog Log almost. YEM is great! Well done all the way through, except for the very first notes it seems Trey's volume is down. My Sweet One has an oops in the bridge, but they recover nicely and the fun, fast rhythm continues when the Balls come out. And then HYHU brings Fish back out for a Love You, complete with band intros. Possum is by request and Trey actually drops the F bomb and says; "You talked me into it." Possum itself rocked overall and was a nice way to end this stellar show.
Adeline was missing from the recording I heard. I'm sure it was fine. And I wonder if Golgi was slated to be the original closer instead of the encore? Anyway, this one was good, tight and rocking.
Very well done tonight. They seemed to have a certain swagger going on that really propelled this show to new heights. There are just a few minor things that keep this one from getting its fifth star. It's about two more weeks before I got to witness this myself in Cleveland!

Limestone Drains Late Three to Edge Men's Basketball 91-90
February 6, 2010
Story Courtesy of Limestone Sports Information
GAFFNEY, S.C. - Tyron Evans three-point basket with only seconds left on the clock lifted the Limestone College mens basketball team to a 91-90 victory over Pfeiffer University in Conference Carolinas action on Saturday night at the Timken Center. Limestone improves to 12-7 overall and 8-6 in the conference. The Falcons fall to 12-7 overall and 8-5 in the league.
Limestones Danny Friend (Morrow, Ga.) scored a game-high 31 points for the Saints as he also recorded 6 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 3 steals. Jarrell Douglass (Leesburg, Fla.) had 18 points on 9-9 field-goal shooting. Stewart Clark (Atlanta, Ga.) and Anthony Middleton (Holly Hill, S.C.) scored 15 and 14 points, respectively. Nick Debnam (Raleigh, N.C.) had a game-high 6 assists. Evans pulled down 6 rebounds.
Pfeiffer was paced by Chris Woods (Thomasville, N.C.) 21 points. Jeff Pettiway (Edgewood, Md.) and James Crowder (High Point, N.C.) scored 13 points apiece. Derrick Truesdale (Waxhaw, N.C.) had 12 points while Reggie Hollinger (Orlando, Fla.) scored 10. Woods led his team with 4 rebounds.
The Saints had a 44-37 lead at the end of the first half. Pfeiffer's 13 turnovers resulted in 15 points for the Saints, but the Falcons only had 4 points from 9 Limestone turnovers. The Saints were 15-29 from the field (51.7%) compared to the Falcons' 40% (10-25).
The Saints had as much as a 12-point lead during the second period (59-47), but the Falcons started to close the gap in the last 10 minutes. After trailing for the entire period, Pfeiffer took a two-point lead (87-85) at the 1:34 mark. Friend scored a free-throw to put the Saints within one, but Woods followed up with two made free-throws to put the Falcons up 89-86. Friend followed up with a 2-point basket as the Saints cut the visitors lead to 1 (89-88), but Pfeiffer capitalized on another free-throw opportunity to go up by 2. Evans sank the winning three-point shot on the next possession for the 91-90 victory.
Both teams had plenty of opportunities at the charity line with over 60 fouls being called during the contest. The Saints were 24-40 (60%) in free throws while the visitors were 26-34 (76.5%). Pfeiffer shot 50% from the field (28-56) while the Saints were 32-57 (56.1%). Pfeiffer had 24 points from behind the arc (8-15/53.3%). Limestone held the 35-33 edge on rebounds, and converted 18 points off turnovers.
Limestone travels to Anderson, S.C., on Monday to face conference-rival Anderson University at 7:30 p.m. The Falcons host Barton on Monday at 7:30 p.m. in Misenheimer, N.C.

J. D. Sicilia, director, Lean Six Sigma program, DoD

Click below to hear the interview
By Suzanne Kubota
Senior Internet Editor
"Do more with less, and do it better, faster and cheaper" is just one reason being give to attend a symposium on improving performance by the Defense Department.
It's open to all agencies, and takes place June 8 through 10 in Northern Virginia. More than 500 experts in performance improvement will give their tips and techniques, including the highly effective Lean Six Sigma process.
J. D. Sicilia, the director of the program office for the Defense Department, told Federal News Radio Lean Six Sigma "comes into play trying to close the gap between the desired level of performance and our baseline."
Sicilia said Defense has applied the process across the department from acquisition to human resources and more.
If there's a process involved in some sort of output or outcome, then there's an application to review that process, find out what's keeping it from performing at its optimum level, and then put together a plan that will fix it and sustain that performance over time.
The process is broken down into two parts: the lean and the six sigma. "Lean," said Sicilia, is focused on reducing waste.
Say a process has 15 steps in it. After a lean application it may only have seven, so you've reduced it down by 50 percent on the number of things that have to happen. The Six Sigma piece is then looking at those remaining 7 steps and finding out what it is that happens in each step and what kind of errors or defects may creep in that would cause either a poor outcome or rework.
Sicilia made it sound so simple: find out what's going wrong, identify the root cause and then eliminate the defects. And he said it can be used on nearly any process.
Our methodology is that we will look at an enterprise end-to-end process, and we will attempt to solve the problem on a smaller scale, on a more tightly scoped project. And then demonstrate that it works and then use replication across the other components so that we solve it first at a smaller level and we work out the bugs and make any adjustments that we need to, and then we deploy it across the enterprise with a higher degree of confidence that it will work.
Learning to use it is like learning just about any other tool: performance improves with practice. Attendees of the symposium will have the chance to learn more about Lean Six Sigma and other ways to improve business performance as well as how to use them effectively.
The keynote address, said Sicilia, will be delivered by Jeffrey Zients, Deputy Director for Management of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and the Federal Chief Performance Officer.
And if all that isn't enough incentive to attend, this item also appears on the schedule: Wine Tasting from Six Sigma Winery.
It would appear Six Sigma really can be applied to nearly every process.

When you place your order, we send you a confirmation e-mail with your order number. Clicking on that order number will take you to your order status page where you can track the progress of your order.
When your order ships we'll send you a shipping confirmation e-mail. In most cases it will include a tracking number that allow you to track your order on the carrier's web sites:
UPS Mail Innovations shipments can not be tracked Click here for more information.
USPS tracking for international shipments may be limited. See below for more information.
Your confirmation e-mail may have been caught in your spam filter. When searching for your confirmation e-mail, please note that our e-mails include the artist name in the "Subject" fields. So the subject line of a confirmation e-mail would look like this:
Subject: "Artist Name" Order Confirmation (111A111A1)
If you still can't find e-mails from us please contact customer service.
Your parcel may have just recently shipped, and tracking information may not yet have been entered into the system. Please check again in a few hours or the next day. If by then you still don't see any tracking information, please contact customer service
Most U.S. Postal Service First Class International orders can only be tracked until U.S. Postal Service hands over your parcel to the local postal service of the destination country. This is because most foreign postal services don't provide tracking information back to the U.S. Postal Service so the tracking information will most likely be incomplete.
International UPS Mail Innovations orders are not track-able.
You can find local contact information in the Customer Service sections of the appropriate UPS country websites in one of the following regions:

UPS Australia/New Zealand
UPS Caribbean

It works like this: UPS Mail Innovations picks up the parcels at our warehouse, processes them, sorts them, and delivers them to your local postal service, which will make the final delivery.
Domestic UPS Mail Innovations orders can be tracked. We'll e-mail you a tracking number on the day your order ships.
International UPS Mail Innovations orders can not be tracked. That's because the postal services in the destination countries usually don't provide tracking information updates back to UPS. We will e-mail you a shipping confirmation e-mail on the day your order ships.
International orders may be subject to taxes, duties, and fees, once they reach your country. We have no control over these charges and they may vary widely from country to country. You, as the importer of record, will have to comply with the laws and regulations of your country and will be responsible for these charges. Please note that customs clearance procedures may cause delivery delays. These charges may either be due upon delivery, or you may receive a notice asking you to go to your local post office to pay duties/taxes and to pick up your parcel. If your parcel takes longer than estimated, please contact your local post office, your parcel may be held there if customs charges are due.
Because of the complex logistics of international shipping, the billing country and the ship-to country have to be the same. We hope to be able to offer this option in the future.

As programmers, many (most?) of us have an inner creative "spark". We love thinking of new, useful ways to accomplish tasks. Many of us have even dreamed a few ideas we thought could be viable businesses, or even change the way people go about their daily routine.
However, many of us also work in a corporate environment where we are told which projects to work on and when to work on them. Personally, this can feel suffocating at times. If you have an idea you think could be world changing (or at least effect a lot of people), how do you get passionate about work that is dictated to you?
Even if you don't have the next "big idea", many of us still want to unleash some inner creativity. How do you do this in an environment that seems to be counter-productive to that creativity?

KALAMAZOO, Mich.--For the second time in as many weeks, Miami University's soccer team battled to a double-overtime draw. In a defensive struggle, the RedHawks and Mid-American Conference West Division co-leader Western Michigan Broncos played 110 scoreless minutes. Miami (5-6-2; 2-1-2 MAC), who leads the MAC East Division, placed five of their eight shots on goal, but was not able to capitalize. Western Michigan (6-3-3; 4-0-1) had just three shots on goal, which senior goalkeeper Allison Norenberg collected.
The shutout was the 17th of Norenberg's career, breaking the Miami career record of Krista Pace ('09), who finished with 16 during her four-year career.
"Congratulations to Allison for becoming Miami Soccer's all-time leader for shutouts," said head coach Bobby Kramig. "I thought she did a very good controling her area and made two good saves."
There were very few scoring opportunities for either team in the first half. Miami's first shot to score came from sophomore forward/midfielder Haley Walter at the 26:37 mark. Just over 10 minutes later, Miami had another opportunity with a shot on target by junior midfielder Kelsey Dinges that was stopped by WMU goalkeeper Michelle Watson. The Broncos had no shots on goal in the opening 45 minutes.
The Broncos came out firing in the second period with a pair of shots saved by Norenberg and another shot that was blocked in the opening 12 minutes. Miami tried to end the stalemate in the 80th and 83rd minutes with shots by freshman forward/midfielder Rachel Marble and Dinges, which were stopped by the WMU goalkeeper. Western Michigan also had its share of scoring attempts in the final 10 minutes of regulation with a shot that went wide and a trio of corner kicks.
Senior midfielder Kayla Zakrzewski tried to punch in a goal just over three minutes into the extra period, which was Miami's lone shot attempt during the first overtime. The Broncos had a shot go wide with 11 seconds left in the first overtime, which sent the game to a second extra period.
Miami had two shots, both by Dinges, and a corner kick in the second overtime, but one shot went over the goal and one went wide, leaving the game at a 0-0 tie.
"I thought it was a well-played game," said Kramig. "It was very much a midfield battle. I thought our defense did a great job today, and by that I mean each and every player that was on the field. To keep a talented team like Western Michigan at bay required a total team effort."
The RedHawks remain on the road, traveling to Eastern Michigan to play the other co-leader of the MAC West Division for a 1 p.m. match on Sunday, Oct. 13.

This page describes how to integrate Sonar into a build script for Apache Ant.
Analyze a Project
Define a new sonar Ant target in your Ant build script:
Execute the following command from the project base directory :
Analyze a multi-module project
Let's say that we have a project "Parent" containing two modules "Child1" and "Child2" and we want Sonar to be able to analyse the overall Parent multi-modules project :
The first thing to do is to declare all modules in the build.xml file of the Parent with the "sonar.modules" property:
Then, in each build.xml file of module, the Sonar key and Sonar source directories properties must be defined:
Of course additional but optional Sonar properties can also be defined in each module to provide for instance the binary directories, the list of libraries, ...
You can ask the Sonar task to execute an Ant target on the parent and for each module before collecting those property values. In that case, a new attribute "initTarget" must be added to the Sonar task definition in the build.xml file of the Parent:
Use Jacoco with Ant projects
Some additional configuration is required with Ant projects.
The Ant build.xml file must contain a dedicated target to launch either junit or testng unit tests. Let's take the following example with the target "test":
Then, in this example, the value of the parameter "sonar.jacoco.antTargets" must be set to "test". During Sonar analysis, the Sonar Jacoco plugin will take care to attach the Jacoco agent to the JVM and to launch the unit tests.
Known Limitations
- Main sources and unit test sources can not be mixed in the same directory

Destined to Empower Others
In May of 2014, Claudia Hernandez earned her bachelor's degree in social work from Northeastern Illinois University. It was the first major step in realizing her lifelong goal of becoming a social worker—a goal born from tragedy. When she was just seven years old, Claudia's father passed away unexpectedly. "My father's death made me a sensitive child," Hernandez said. "I remember crying in bed every night and out of nowhere in my second-grade class. For that reason I was referred to the school social worker. Her help during that time motivated me to become a social worker."
'Let me be an example'
Rachel Hall's story could be one of sadness and tragedy. She endured a troubled childhood in Columbus, Ohio. She's been a homeless mother. And in 2005, three weeks after her husband died, her mother passed away too. Hall has every reason to be a story of sadness and tragedy, but she refuses. "I have no regrets," she said. "I'm supposed to be here."
The Saturday morning professor
According to Alireza Dorestani, associate professor of accounting at Northeastern Illinois University, his greatest scholarly accomplishment isn't his three master's degrees or his two Ph.D.s—one in economics and one in accounting. It's not his 10 publications in refereed journals or the 12 presentations he's given in the last four-and-a-half years alone. It's not even the teaching awards he's earned—the College of Business and Management Excellence in Teaching Award or the Northeastern Illinois University Student Choice Award.
A little empathy goes a long way
Every morning after breakfast, Chielezona Eze, associate professor of English at Northeastern Illinois University, spends three hours reading and writing. "Those are holy hours," Eze said.
Fighting for Veterans' Rights: The remarkable journey of Rodrigo Garcia
In 2006, Rodrigo Garcia was lifting weights with a friend at the Northeastern gym. Garcia had just come off five years of service in the Marine Corps, during which he had three separate deployments in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Having spent the majority of his last five years on military bases and in combat zones, Garcia was having a tough time adjusting to life at Northeastern.
The Golden Apple Fellow becomes the student
Every year since 1986, the Golden Apple Awards for Excellence in Teaching selects 10 outstanding teachers in the Chicago area to be recipients of this prestigious award. In 2013, Gregory Regalado, '05, was one of those 10 teachers.
If you live in Chicago, chances are you know Shencheng Xu.
If you've ever walked past the Music Box Theatre or sat in the sun beside the statues of the "Happy Family" in the Healing Garden at Ronan Park, or if you've ever dropped your kids off at Avoca West Elementary School or glimpsed "Gourd Man" in Village Green Park, you're familiar with the work of Shencheng Xu. Since he began teaching sculpture at Northeastern Illinois University in 2003, Xu has been selected every year—that's 12 straight years—to have his art publicly displayed around Chicago.
There is more than one path to the top
Stijepko "Step" Tokic recently delivered a paper at PatCon 4—the largest annual conference for patent scholars in the world—on reverse payment settlements in the pharmaceutical industry. In addition to his international presentations, he has published widely, most recently in top-rated journals like Stanford Technology Law Review, the Federal Circuit Bar Journal, and the American Intellectual Property Law Association's AIPLA Quarterly Journal.
What makes a great teacher? Just ask Tom Parry
What makes a great teacher or an exceptional coach? Is it the physical act of teaching? The assessment of athletes? The nature—and frequency—of feedback? The practice schedule? These are all questions Assistant Professor of Physical Education and Exercise Science Tom Parry is exploring.
Cyberbullies and Internet gangsters, beware of Mickie Wong-Lo
Cyberbullying, "net banging" (the practice of recruiting gang members via social media), cultivating culturally sensitive learning environments—what do these wide-ranging topics have in common? They can all be studied through the prism of emotional behavior disorders—and Mickie Wong-Lo, assistant professor of special education at Northeastern Illinois University, is doing just that.
