Begin by unwrapping FUN from the biodegradable cellophane just as you would an enormous piece of candy. Save the wrapper for when playtime's over. To use as soap or shampoo, pinch off a small bit in your hand (or on a bath pouf) and hop in the tub, lathering from head, shoulders, knees to toes. If you fancy a bubble bath, crumble a small chunk under a warm running tap for mountains of suds.

Biology - B.A. and B.S.
|College of Arts and Sciences
|Department of Biological Sciences
256 Cunningham Hall
Tel: 330-672-3613

|The Bachelor of Arts in Biology is designed for students interested in the biological sciences but eager to pursue a wider set of interests in the liberal arts. This degree is offered by the Department of Biological Sciences.
The Bachelor of Science in Biology consists of three different concentrations: Molecular and Cellular Biology , Organismal Biology, Pre-Medicine/Pre-Osteopathy/Pre-Dentistry. This degree is offered by the Department of Biological Sciences.
Molecular and Cellular Biology prepares students for careers and postgraduate work in molecular or cell biology, especially in biomedical sciences. Students who select this program are interested in cells, molecular biology, genetics and processes within organisms. Biology majors have the option to seek employment immediately after graduation in the private, public or nonprofit sector, or to continue their education in a wide variety of graduate and professional programs.
Organismal Biology enables students to focus on whole organism studies while maintaining a great deal of flexibility in course choice. This program helps prepare students for graduate school in areas such as ecology and animal/plant science, and for careers not requiring molecular and cell biology skills. Biology majors may seek employment immediately after graduation or continue their education in a wide variety of graduate and professional programs.
Pre-Medicine/Pre-Osteopathy/Pre-Dentistry prepares students for careers in medicine and health care. The curriculum provides the courses required for admission to medical, dental and graduate schools, as well as other professional programs (e.g., optometry, physician's assistant).
|Biologists work in a variety of settings and alumni with Biology degrees from Kent State have gone on to work for state agencies, companies, and a host of other employers. Others have gone on for additional education for employment opportunities in the health care professions as doctors, dentists or other health care workers, professors, educators and the many other professions related to the biological disciplines. Many students completing an undergraduate biology degree will go on for additional education in graduate or professional programs. Other students will opt to enter directly into the workforce upon Bachelors degree completion. For those not seeking additional education, career opportunities are available in state, local, and federal agencies, private companies and industry, and non-profit groups. Federal statistics reveal that about 40 percent of all biological scientists are employed by Federal, State, or local governments.
The Department of Biological Sciences has several mechanisms to help students prepare for their future careers. All students, particularly those who plan to go on to graduate school or seek employment directly after degree completion, are strongly encouraged to complete research projects, through our Individual Investigation course, and/or do an internship in the area in which they plan to be employed. In addition, we offer BSCI 30005, Career Pathways in Biology, which provides students a chance to learn more about career paths and how to achieve their goals. Lastly, students are expected to meet regularly with their faculty advisor to talk about career options, get help in selecting electives, and discuss ways to get experience required for their career goals.

Excellent product!
I ordered this card for my save the dates. Not only does the design match my theme perfectly but I loved that I could change the colors to match mine! The card stock is a great quality and the colors were very accurate. I also really liked the silver lining in the envelopes and the fact that I could personalize the back of the card too! My package arrived in a high quality box, which definatly impressed me. I can't wait to order my invitations!

Great colors and texture, but had to reorder
I loved the card. The colors were beautiful and my friends/family loved the quality and texture of the paper. It was so easy to use and way less expensive than comparable sites. The only problem I had was with the production. I, like a previous reviewer, received my save-the-dates only to realize they had not printed the back of the card. I was very disappointed, but they were quick to help and remake/resend a new batch. Overall, I would recommend the product.
Great Quality, Smaller than Expected
I love these Save the Date cards. They are the highest quality Save the Dates I've ever seen. I am very satisfied with my final product. However, the "large" cards are not that big. They are smaller than a postcard. For this reason, you can only use pictures that are close up and not far away. I am glad I ordered a sample first because one of the pictures we selected was so small you couldn't see our faces. We picked a closer picture and everything turned out great!
The only reason I gave them a mark off was that I customized my order to have a phrase on the back of one that didn't normally have one. The first set I got didn't have it, but they prompty reprinted the cards and sent them out with no problems. I am still going to use them for my wedding invites!

There's a delightful thrill to the call of a band of coyotes when you're alone in the dark woods. Do they present a danger? That is, have healthy coyotes (that is, not rabid) been known to attack or show aggressiveness to a lone human?
In general they are not considered dangerous because they rarely attack humans. You should not run away from coyotes as they will consider you a prey if you do. Under extreme circumstances they may circle an individual or a group. Making noise generally keeps them at bay or at a distance.
In 2009, there was, unfortunately, a fatality in Cape-Breton Nova-Scotia. This was the second recorded fatality in North America.
From Nova-Scotia website:
also according to Nova-Scotia website:
Coyotes in Eastern Canada are known to be bigger and are sometimes called coyote wolves (locally) in opposition to their smaller counterparts.
A few points to add here:
Coyotes are not know to be aggressive towards humans. But always remember that coyote is a wild animal. It is not domesticated and hence it's very difficult say with certainty about the behavior.
Coyotes are know to attack dogs, sheep and other livestock. So yes, they can bite. If not you, your dog maybe?
Any animal, when it loses the fear of humans, can act aggressively. This is aggravated by humans feeding the wild animals. One quick example would be the feeding of monkeys that is done in many south asian countries and in south africa. Coyotes are similar w.r.t the fact that they almost coexist with humans in urban areas now-a-days.
Hence, my advice would be, know where the boundaries are and stay well within them. It helps not only you(and possibly your dog) but also the wild life out there. And calling out to evoke a response? Well, I wouldn't really do that :P
Coyotes now live in our area in significant numbers. There was a den on our property this winter, and a few months ago there were four pups romping around in our back yard. We hear them howling pretty much every night.
I've been in the woods and in open fields with coyotes around and never felt threatened or considered it a problem at all. In fact, I think they are cool to watch, particularly the pups. Coyotes are very aware of their surroundings, and they will not let you get closer than about 50 feet. In all cases when I was closer, the coyote ran off when it saw me.

Support Home > Chart Navigator Pro & Chart Navigator Light > Technical Documents > 4b. Connecting a Serial GPS to a USB Port
Electronics Hookup and Configuration
If you have a Garmin USB GPS,
the 5.08 versions of Offshore Navigator and Offshore Navigator Lite now include a "GPS Wizard" to help you set up the connection to your USB port. See the main support page for links to download the 5.08 update for your product. Please note that you will also need to download these additional GPS drivers.
Garmin USB support is native to all versions of Chart Navigator Pro and Chart Navigator Light - no updates are required.
Garmin USB support is native to current versions of Terrain Navigator and Terrain Navigator Pro - click here if updates are required.
Garmin USB support is not currently available for The CAPN.
Connecting all other GPS receivers, including non-USB Garmins, requires either a 9-pin serial port connection or a "virtual COM port" USB connection.
Many new PCs (especially laptops) have USB ports but do not have the standard 9-pin serial ports found on older computers. This is a major concern for GPS connectivity, because the NMEA specification used by most GPS units is designed for standard Serial communications and not USB.
To solve the problem, you will need to purchase a "USB-to-Serial" port adapter. This device connects to your USB bus and allows you to attach standard PC serial devices (including GPS Data cables, PDAs, modems, serial printers, etc.) to your USB-only PC. These adapters, from Sealevel, Keyspan, Belkin, and other companies, are relatively low-priced ($40-$70.) Please note that the USB-to-Serial port adapter sold by "Radio Shack" is *not* able to handle the data transfer rate from GPS units, and is not recommended for in this manner.
Our subsidiary, Captn. Jack's, offers the Sealevel USB to Serial Adapter along with various other NMEA multiplexers for more complex installations.
Another option to consider is a USB GPS. This eliminates attaching a GPS to a GPS cable to a USB-to-Serial adapter to a PC. Instead, this one GPS unit attaches directly to the PC.
We recommend the Transystem iGPS-M Pro USB GPS which is available through our Captn. Jack's subsidiary.
Please note that for a USB GPS to work with our current software products, it must include a driver for a "Virtual COM Port." This allows the Maptech software to connect to the GPS as if it were attached to a NMEA standard serial (COM) port. The Zenstar USB GPS recommended above works in this fashion, however not all USB GPS units include this feature.

Can wordy Faulkner exist in time of tweets?
Could William Faulkner and his writing be the anti-tweet? That's quite likely, but it doesn't mean that Faulkner's not moving up in this age of electronic communication.

Garden with a twist
I used the garden with a twist theme for my save the dates, invites and thank you cards. I also used the labels for sealing them. I really enjoyed creating them online, although it did take me awhile to figure out all the features on the design tool and I did wish I could have a bit more design control/manipulation. Each piece was beautiful. The paper was exceptional quality, every image was crisp and they exceeded my quality expectations. They were generally more expensive than I wanted and if they had been more affordable I would have bought more items. Use discount codes!
They were perfect. Matched exactly to our save the dates and really helped liven up the envelopes.

Icy conditions contributed to numerous wrecks reported around town on Tuesday.
Several accidents were reported on Interstate 85.
Shortly before 1:15 p.m. Tuesday, a SUV overturned on an interstate median.
According to Georgia State Patrol's Trooper Lipham, a blue Ford Explorer was traveling on I-85 northbound from the Kia plant when the vehicle drove over a patch of ice, causing it to fish tail and turn sideways where it was T-boned by an 18-wheeler truck. The crash happened within a mile of exit 6.
Cars lined the street as several passers by pulled over to attempt to help as firefighters turned the vehicle upright to free its occupants. The female driver and passenger were extricated from the vehicle.
Troopers were also working another wreck within half a mile north of the overturned SUV that slowed northbound traffic.
No major injuries were reported from the wrecks. No further details are available at this time.
Another accident occurred as a Ford Mustang was traveling on the southbound lane of I-85 near the weigh-in station and flipped over into the median near mile marker 23. In the I-85 northbound lane near mile marker 27, a truck was traveling, slid off the interstate and into the woods.
According to troopers, both accidents were caused by ice in the roadway. No report was available regarding injuries Tuesday.
In another incident, one man was taken to West Georgia Medical Center for injuries. The pickup truck he was driving toward Lafayette Parkway on South Davis Road slid on ice at a bridge over the railroad tracks. The vehicle slammed into a guardrail on the opposite side of the road, flipping onto its side.
LaGrange police were investigating.

Probably not so incidental, more "built in" to the culture. But the idea of "mental illness" is there, and has some recommended form of "treatment", in all cultures. The differences are in the behaviors defined as "mental illness", the causes theorized to produce such behaviors, and the treatments. One may call the condition "possession" by an "external" spirit, but the idea that the condition is non-normative and threatening is still there.
Like Youdron, I do not think of myself as an "apologist' of medicine. I recognize its limitations, but also many of its benefits. Even beyond psychiatry, the general state of medicine in the West is in bad shape, in my opinion, and it is largely due to the capitalistic appropriation of "cures" as commodities. There are many illnesses, mental and otherwise, that have no cure. It is the nature of degeneration and death among mortals. Most "treatments" are not designed as cures, but rather as methods to manage symptoms and avert immediate death.
Thomas Szasz wrote:... Psychiatrists have for hundreds of years used diagnostic terms, so called diagnostic terms, to stigmatize and control people. ... When black slaves in the South ran away to Freedom, it wasn't that they wanted to be free; they suffered from a disease called drapetomania, from drapetes, runaway slave, and mania. ... Women, half the population of mankind, if they were foolish enough to rebel against domination by man, well they then had a serious disease called hysteria, which was due to their wandering womb. ... Now none of those behaviors were ever a disease. ... No behavior or misbehavior is a disease or can be a disease. That's not what diseases are. ... If he is sick, there must be some objective science to it, which can be diagnosed by physicians and objective tests. ... When I went to medical school sixty years ago there were only a handful of mental diseases. I think there were no more than six or seven. Now there are more than three hundred. ... Labeling a child as mentally ill is stigmatization, not diagnosis. Giving a child a psychiatric drug is poisoning, not treatment. ...
Dr. Martin Harrow wrote:Factors Involved in Outcome and Recovery in Schizophrenia Patients Not on Antipsychotic Medications: A 15-Year Multifollow-Up Study(PDF)
Detailed analyses of those patients with schizophrenia on antipsychotic medications versus those not on medications at the 15-year follow-ups also were conducted. These analyses indicated that in addition to the significant differences in global functioning between these groups, 19 of the 23 schizophrenia patients (83%) with uniformly poor outcome at the 15-year follow-ups were on antipsychotic medications. The data on psychosis in Figure 1 show that at the 10-year follow-ups, 79% of the patients with schizophrenia on antipsychotics had psychotic activity, whereas 23% of those not on any medications had psychotic activity. Sixty-four percent of the schizophrenia patients treated with antipsychotic medications at the 15-year follow-ups had psychotic activity, whereas 28% of those not on any medications had signs of psychotic activity.
Huseng wrote:I've never seen western psychiatry cure anyone of their mental illness. Never. And I know a lot of mentally ill people. You might disagree, but I have little respect for the profession as it stands now.
Psychiatry incidentally is a kind of decadent luxury in first world countries. Elsewhere people can't afford to be mentally ill. Suicide rates in poor countries tend to be lower, too, probably because you can't afford the luxury of killing yourself, otherwise your family might starve. If you live in a relatively rich country your family might even get a sum of money for your death. Pharmacies, too, make a killer off all these kids with ADD and ADHD taking legal forms of smack.
This is little surprising as in the short term you may feel better, but that is because instead of increasing serotonin or dopamine to improve mood with natural methods like say exercise or prolonged meditation you are doing it artificially by pharmaceuticals, with numerous side effects. So the longer you are on them, the more pointless every life activity becomes compared to popping the next prescribed pill.

Daniel Everett wrote:Freakonomics: The Suicide Paradox: Full Transcript
I was still a very fervent Christian missionary, and I wanted to tell them how God had changed my life. So, I told them a story about my stepmother and how she had committed suicide because she was so depressed and so lost, for the word depressed I used the word sad. So she was very sad. She was crying. She felt lost. And she shot herself in the head, and she died. And this had a large spiritual impact on me, and I later became a missionary and came to the Piraha because of all of this experience triggered by her suicide. And I told this story as tenderly as I could, and tried to communicate that it had a huge impact on me. And when I was finished everyone burst out laughing.
When I asked them why are you laughing, they said: "She killed herself. That's really funny to us. We don't kill ourselves. You mean, you people, you white people shoot yourselves in the head? We kill animals, we don't kill ourselves." They just found it absolutely inexplicable, and without precedent in their own experience that someone would kill themselves.

Stay up to date on the latest from Folger Education by connecting with us on Facebook, following @FolgerEd on twitter, and reading our blog for teachers, Making a Scene!
At the Folger Shakespeare Library, our passion for teaching and learning Shakespeare is boundless. We offer a variety of programs and resources, at both the local and national level, for teachers in all kinds of schools and students at all ability levels. And our work is expanding every day.
Classroom resources
At the heart of every Folger learning program and resource is the highly effective Folger approach, a time-tested strategy that lets students connect with the material in a way that makes Shakespeare's work feel personal and relevant. Students and teachers begin by connecting with the language head on, and proceed actively through the plays. Our teacher-created teaching modules apply that approach to some of the most popular Shakespeare works, offering teachers dynamic ways to approach these complex texts. And our overview of Shakespeare's works includes information and images for every play, perfect for in-class review or for self-directed learning. Students can also find out more about Shakespeare here on the Folger site, including his life and what theater was like in his day.
Professional development
At the Folger, we don't just hand you resources for introducing Shakespeare in front of a class. We also believe in supporting your professional development throughout your teaching career. Our programs for teachers range from a single Professional Learning Day to the month-long Teaching Shakespeare Institute. All programs integrate scholarship, performance, and classroom practice, for a rigorous approach to Shakespeare that inspires students to understand and own the plays.
Student programs
It's not just teachers who can learn at the Folger. We also offer programs for a wide range of students, from elementary school through high school. School groups can visit the Folger building, library, and theater for short workshops, tours, and matinees. Eligible students can benefit from our long-term, intensive programs: the Capital Shakespeare school residencies for students from local DC schools, and the High School Fellowship Program for qualifying high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors. And students at all levels, from 3rd through 12th grade, learn by adapting and performing Shakespeare's works at our celebrated student festivals.

Associated Press
COLUMBUS — Backers of a ban on abortions at the first detectable heartbeat are rolling out billboards and TV and radio ads in Ohio's major cities next week to spur state senators to take up the proposal.
Should the so-called "heartbeat bill" become law, it would impose the nation's most stringent abortion limit.
The measure passed the Ohio House in June, but has stalled in the state Senate where it has yet to be assigned to a legislative committee.
Members of Ohio ProLife Action, a new statewide anti-abortion group that's pushing the bill, have been meeting with state senators to try to address their concerns and get the measure moving through the Senate.
But with no commitment from Senate leaders on when they plan to act, the anti-abortion group's president says the organization will begin airing 30-second television ads next week in Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati markets. The ads feature state senators' phone numbers in an effort to persuade viewers to call the lawmakers. The spot has already aired in Dayton.
"While we appreciate and agree with the Senate's desire to make this the best bill possible, we continue to urge them to send the bill to committee where the process can be completed and sent to the floor for a vote," Linda Theis, president of Ohio ProLife Action, said in a news release Thursday.
Ohio ProLife Action is spending "thousands of dollars" to air the ads, Theis said in an interview Friday.
The heartbeat legislation has divided Ohio's anti-abortion community. Ohio Right to Life has taken issue with the proposal, fearing a legal challenge could jeopardize other abortion limits in Ohio and expand access to legal abortions.
Senate President Tom Niehaus told reporters this week it was too soon to say whether his chamber would vote before the end of the year on the bill.
Niehaus, a New Richmond Republican, has convened a group of lawmakers to research the measure and vet any legal issues. He's asked the group to report back this month.
Theis said her organization had "a good negotiating meeting" with senators on Thursday. One suggestion from the senators was to include specific equipment doctors would use to detect the fetus' heartbeat, she said. However, she noted the bill's supporters believe specifying the kinds of equipment might cause future problems with the bill should technology change.
Theis said the organization was looking at the ideas, but added, "We're not changing anything major."
She said her group respects the Senate's thorough review, but is eager to discuss the bill in front of a committee.
The organization plans to put up billboards soon in various locations around Cincinnati. It's also launching a statewide radio campaign beginning with 30- second ads in the Columbus, Delaware, Lancaster, Mansfield, Findlay, Defiance, Lima, Steubenville, and southeast Ohio regions. More than 500 churches have also agreed to distribute information about the legislation in their church bulletins.

About Don and Elaine Lumley
When the Kent State Ice Arena first opened in 1970, good things were bound to happen for hockey. But without Don Lumley, it's questionable as to exactly how things would have unfolded.
There was Steve Albert, who wanted to be a goaltender and a play-by-play announcer. There was Dan McDermott, who would help by keeping the books and playing defense. Herb Page could score goals and Mark Anderson would assist, plus keep everyone laughing besides setting up plays. Rae Metz would stop the puck. Period.
Sounds like the beginnings of a hockey program, right?
Don Lumley provided the organization, the discipline and the wherewithal -- the motivation -- to start a collegiate hockey program. Don was from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada eh? He had played at Boston University for Jack Kelly and won a national championship. He knew how to build a team, implement a system, schedule games, plan a budget. He knew how to teach the game and coach players. And he knew how to win.
In the coming years, the program would prosper and grow. Players, trainers, announcers and coaches would come to Kent State because of hockey.
Looking back, without Don Lumley then Steve Albert might not have had a team to announce during his last two years at KSU. Without Steve Albert and the team's great first season there wouldn't have been a Mike Fornes to follow in his footsteps and that means there wouldn't have been a Rick Peckham or possibly a Paul Steigerwald to continue the legacy of "the voice."
Without Don Lumley, it is likely that there wouldn't have been a Wayne Gowing following in from Boston University or a Ron Ivany from Ohio University or a Peter Maybury, who all coached and paved the way for others.
It is easy to say that the Cleveland hockey connection would have been present given KSU's geographical proximity, but the way Don Lumley handled players it was immediately a done deal.
When Doug Grange from Andover, Massachusetts and Dave Farlow from Stouffeville, Ontario would don a KSU uniform, Jeff Buller would come in from Cleveland. So would the Hauser brothers, the Budzicks and Jeff Knapp. That connection continued for years and years, and expanded to Toronto, Chicago and Detroit for future player talent.
Don Lumley was the father of it all and Elaine Lumley was there cheering us all on like she was our mother. When the program existed for the love of the game and the end of the season came, Elaine made sure everyone associated with the team got an award that she had made herself.
The Lumleys were there for the start of KSU hockey and nurtured the game, the program and all who were part of it.

Smith was set to join the growing list of young South African rugby talent to have been lost to Australia when, as a member of the Queensland U18 side, he was chosen for Australian Schools.
Luckily, this time it was not the case as Smith's family, who decided to experience life in Australia for a year, returned to South Africa and the 18-year-old went back to playing at Paarl Gymnasium.
In 2008, he was a member of Western Province's U18 Craven Week team and his performances at the tournament earned him a place in the SA Schools side, a call-up he admits was a surprise.
'It's a really great honour and I didn't expect to get chosen,' says Smith. 'There are about 20 great players in my position so I feel really privileged and lucky to get there.'
While he is happy to be back in South Africa, Smith admits he enjoyed his time in Australia and believes the experience has improved his overall game.
'I really enjoyed my time over there. It's very different, they have their own way of doing things and it's very competitive but I picked up a lot of experience and it has made me a better player.'
Standing 1.90m tall and weighing 126kg, Smith is already an imposing figure.
For a big man, he has a great turn of pace and is very quick off the mark – making him extremely tough to bring down once he gets going.
His Paarl Gym coach, Nico Momsen, believes Smith is one of the most talented ball players he has ever seen at school level.
'Ruan is certainly one of the most skilled props to have come through the ranks here at Paarl Gym, certainly in my years as coach,' says Momsen. 'His handling skills are as good, if not better than most backline players.'
For all his potential, Smith remains a level-headed young man and is well aware of where he could improve his game.
'My tight phases are pretty good, and one of my strong points is my ball-carrying but there is some room for improvement, especially my fitness and my work rate at the breakdown.'
Momson believes we are yet to see the best of Smith and feels that if he is placed in a professional set-up and is nurtured, he will prove to be an unstoppable force.
'If Ruan is taken into the right set-up and is conditioned perfectly, he will become a machine. I think he has got everything he needs to reach the highest level in South African rugby.'
Smith has signed a two-year contract with Western Province and will go straight into the Academy side when he finishes his matric year.

- Before & After
Varicose vein sufferers can benefit from ambulatory phlebectomy, an outpatient procedure that removes these bulging, painful veins and allows patients to resume their normal routines immediately after treatment. Using a series of tiny incisions, the ambulatory phlebectomy procedure actually removes the vein, preventing it from recurring. The ambulatory phlebectomy procedure is usually performed on larger, superficial veins, but can also be used to treat smaller veins in many patients. Prior to beginning the ambulatory phlebectomy procedure, your specialist will carefully mark the area to be treated, outlining the vein that will be removed. A local numbing agent will be injected along this area to eliminate discomfort during the procedure. Once the area is numb, the specialist will make incisions along the vein, removing the vein section by section. After the ambulatory phlebectomy procedure, you will be given compression stockings to wear to aid in the healing process, and will usually be given a topical antibiotic cream to apply to the incision sites. Discomfort following the ambulatory phlebectomy procedure is minimal and can be treated with mild pain relievers. Although you may experience some slight swelling or bruising following the procedure, use of the compression stockings will minimize these effects and speed the healing process. Following the ambulatory phlebectomy procedure, most patients can expect to return to their normal activities, restricting lifting and strenuous exercise for one to two weeks. The incision sites will fade over six to 12 months following the ambulatory phlebectomy procedure. Offering speedy recovery and no downtime, ambulatory phlebectomy has gained in popularity for those individuals looking to permanently rid themselves of painful varicose veins.

Vietnam: From a Hawk's Perspective
Sign up for an evening with former top foreign policy adviser to presidents Kennedy and Johnson, Wait Whitman Rostow.
In January 1961, President Kennedy appointed Dr. Rostow as deputy special assistant to the president for National Security Affairs. He served in that capacity until December 1961, when he was appointed counselor and chairman of the Policy Planning Council for the State Department. In 1966, President Johnson called him back to the White House as his special assistant for national security affairs.
In his positions within the administrations, Dr. Rostow acted as one of the chief architects of U.S. policy towards Vietnam. He has said that "the greatest error" made during the 1960s was that the United States did not react sooner and more forcefully to the North Vietnamese threat against its neighboring countries.
Professor Rostow is Rex G. Baker Professor of Political Economy at the University of Texas, Austin, and the author of more than thirty books. He has taught at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Columbia University, and Cambridge University. Dr. Rostow received a B.A. and Ph.D. at Yale University and a B.A. from Oxford University.
The Changing Costs of Education
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1993 12:15 p.m.
In the second "Faculty Focus" luncheon of the semester, Professor Gordon Bjork will share with us his latest work on the relationship between changes in U.S. demography and the cost of education. He will address the strains that the cost of education will place on the changing U.S. economy.
Professor Bjork is the Jonathon B. Lovelace Professor of Economics at CMC. Around campus, Professor Bjork is known for his teaching in the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics program, Theory and Practice of Commercial Banking (or, as students call it, "Bank Sim"), and the Development of the American Economy. His scholarly interests cover a wide variety of areas. He has written books on the development of capitalism in America, the economics and politics of land use planning and environmental controls, and the American economy during the colonial period. Currently, he is working on a book on the structural changes taking place in the economy.
Bjork has led a truly distinguished academic life. After graduating from Dartmouth College, he went to Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship and in 1963 received a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Washington. He has taught at several Canadian universities, Columbia University, and the University of Hawaii and served as president of Linfield College, a small private school in Oregon. Professor Bjork has won two George Washington Honor medals for distinguished achievement in economic education.
Lunch is served at 11:45 a.m.; Professor Bjork speaks at 12:15.
Report from Moscow
From 1975-1979, David K. Shipler served as the New York Times correspondent in Moscow, and for the last two years, he served as bureau chief.
Out of his Moscow experience, Mr. Shipler wrote the bestseller Russia: Broken Idols, Solemn Dreams, published in 1983. Widely acclaimed by critics, the book won the Overseas Press Club Award that year for the best book on foreign affairs.
Over the years, Mr. Shipler has made a number of return visits to Moscow and has kept up-to-date on the reforms taking place. His Tuesday night address will focus on the current state of affairs in Russia.
Mr. Shipler also served as bureau chief of the New York Times in Jerusalem from 1979-1984. In 1986, he won a Pulitzer Prize for his book on the Arab-Israeli dilemma, entitled Arab and Jew: Wounded Spirits in a Promised Land (1986). He is a graduate of Dartmouth College.
The Making of a Fringe Candidate
For Dr. Lenora Fulani, "politics is a continuation of the '60s fight for empowerment." Dr. Fulani, chairperson of the New Alliance Party, completed her second bid for the presidency in the 1992 election after becoming the first African-American woman to be on the ballot in every state in 1988. Described as a "fringe candidate," Fulani knew she would not. win, but more important to her was continuing a fight for "independent politics." Her sentiments of the current system are clear: "The two-party system is the most corrupt, undemocratic system in the world. It is ordinary people who should be running this country." By the year 2000 she expects that the New Alliance Party will be a major, competitive left-of-center party.
Dr. Fulani received her Ph.D. in developmental psychology from City University of New York and has taught at several universities including The State University of New York and the College of New Rochelle. She is also the former director of Community Clinics of the Institute for Social Therapy and Research. She has appeared as keynote speaker at Columbia University and Harvard Law School among other universities, and she has frequently appeared on radio and television including "The MacNeil/Lehrer News Hour," "Crossfire," "The Larry King Show," and National Public Radio. She authored Poor Women of Color Do Great Therapy (1988), co-authored Independent Black Leadership in America (1989), and is the editor of The Psychopathology of Everyday Racism and Sexism (1988).
We hope you'll join us for what should be a provocative presentation on "The Making of a Fringe Candidate."
An Evening with the Poet
Recognized by Robert Lowell as "the greatest Irish poet since Yeats," Seamus Heaney unexpectedly deviates from the great pessimistic nature of Modernist and post-Modernist writing. "He is deeply sensitive to the darker side of human existence; but he shows a great deal of compassion, affection, humor, and pleasure, particularly in the rural and earthy things" (David Perkins, Harvard University). His poetry addresses the struggle between Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland. The nature and history of Ireland and the character of its people are brought to life in his work, but he goes beyond Ireland, writing in a way that connects with readers throughout the world.
Seamus Heaney, born in County Derry, Northern Ireland, currently resides in Dublin spending part of each year teaching at Harvard University. He is a member of the Irish Academy of Letters and has been the recipient of many honors and awards for his poetry. In 1989, Mr. Heaney was elected to the post of Professor of Poetry at Oxford University. He has published eleven collections of poetry, Seeing Things (1991) being his most recent work. He also recently completed The Cure at Troy: A Version of Sophocles' Philoctetes (1991). In addition, Heaney provides commentaries on topics ranging from art to politics.
The impact of growing up and living amidst the instability of Northern Ireland is beautifully reflected in Heaney's work. We hope you'll join us for this special evening of poetry with Seamus Heaney.
Exploring Private Land and Water Rights
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 15, and TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1993
As the struggle escalates over the regulation of private land and water rights, it is timely to explore the role of the individual and the community in the government's considerations The Fleming Symposium seeks to bring together spokespersons from the various constituencies to represent the broad spectrum of opinion and thought on such complex questions as: Is there an ethical basis for the public regulation of land and water rights that adds to community values? Should land owners be compensated for the full value of their land when regulators rule it cannot be used for the "best possible use"? In the process of fully exploring this complex topic, the symposium will bring into focus the role of legitimate government regulation in providing for the civilized life. Speakers have been selected from academia, business, government, and environmental organizations to represent a broad spectrum of opinions and thoughts on these issues.

The Spirit of John Muir
Imagine an America where the wilderness was still intact and untamed, where the papers were not plagued with the perils of pollution, and anyone could roam free of the fear of encountering a mini-mall or gift shop. Imagine the America of John Muir, whom many consider the "father of the environmental movement." Lee Stetson recreates this more pristine past in his monologue "The Spirit of John Muir."
John Muir was born in Scotland and emigrated to the wilderness of Wisconsin at the age of eleven. In 1867, he walked from Kentucky to Florida, keeping a journal, the first of many. The next year, he moved to California and caught his first glimpse of Yosemite. From then on he struggled to get federal control of forests, Yosemite in particular. He climbed Mount Shasta and Mount Rainier, explored the glaciers in Alaska, and even led President Theodore Roosevelt on a personal tour of Yosemite. His adventurous spirit developed into camaraderie with the land around him. Mr. Muir saw Yosemite declared a national park. Later, he founded the Sierra Club, which continues to speak out on behalf of the environment.
Mr. Muir published accounts of his adventures from which Mr. Stetson created his monologues. Mr. Stetson has been portraying John Muir for more than ten years. His exploration into Muir's life has inspired him to become active in the environmental movement. Stetson also takes visitors on weekly walks through Yosemite giving them a glimpse of the park through Muir's eyes.
Don't miss this opportunity to hear the tales of America's premier adventurer.
Sarah Hawkins: The Saga of a Woman Pioneer
Following her husband's presentation on the life of John Muir, Connie Stetson will portray Sarah Hawkins, a fictional character. Created by Lee Stetson, Sarah Hawkins' story is based on the diaries and other accounts of pioneer women who managed to cross 2,400 hazardous miles of the Overland Trails from the early 1840s through the late 1860s. The emigrants were young-few were over the age of thirty-and they were generally unprepared and woefully inexpirenced for such rough travel. Accident and disease were the greatest of the many dangers they faced. A large number of the women were pregnant or gave birth on the trail; yet, in general, the women survived the rigors of the trail better than the men.
Ms. Stetson's theatrical career includes starring roles in Gypsy (1959), The Unsinkable Molly Brown (1964), and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895), among many other plays. She also performed with "The Groundlings," Los Angeles' premiere improvisational ensemble. Ms. Stetson attended Santa Monica College and the University of California at Los Angeles. She has studied with Rudy Solari and Stockwell in Los Angeles and with Michael Moriarity in New York. She has been a resident of Yosemite for the past four years, directing and teaching drama and improvisational skills to the children of the Yosemite and El Portal schools.

Good day everyone.
After the general post meeting this past week the newly formed Membership Committee met to discuss ways to bring in new membership. My wife and I were wearing our TALARC shirts and had our handhelds with us. Carrying a handheld is a great conversation starter by the way. They asked me what I thought we, as a post, could do to build membership and I brought up TALARC. They asked what is TALARC because none of them have ever heard of it. I know, it has been here on the website, minutes of the National Convention, and a few other places. I do not know if it was mentioned in the Legion magazine or not after that convention. I promptly passed out the TALARC brochures that I received from K9TAL. Well, turns out that one of the current members of the post is a former amateur radio operator and he wants to get his license back. Membership committee approved the creation of a post amateur radio club. Next step, bring it up for a vote at the next month's general meeting for a vote. Since we are not asking for any money or changes to be made, I am confident that it will pass. I laid out a goal, vision statement, and strategy already. Those I will present at the general meeting next month.
I just thought I would pass that along as many other posts are working on creating a club too. It took a year to get to this point but it was well worth it.
Best regards,
Rich "Doc" AC8AL

Hurricane Sandy left many victims in her wake. However, we are relieved to report that Ivy, a one-year-old service dog, who was badly injured in the aftermath the storm, is expected to survive.
On Wednesday night, Ivy's guardians were unable to go outside to walk her. Without power in their Manhattan apartment building, their elevator was also out of service. They asked their neighbor to take Ivy outside for some exercise.
Unfortunately, Ivy wandered off her leash onto a busy New York street, where she was presumably hit by multiple cars. A local resident found her early Thursday morning, and while she had suffered very severe injuries, she was still alive. Ivy was transported to the ASPCA Animal Hospital in Manhattan to undergo treatment. This brave dog is expected to make a full recovery.
We're so glad we are able to provide Ivy with the crucial care she needed, and just in time. Please help support our ongoing relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
Update 11/8/12: Ivy is continuing to recover from her injuries until she can return home to her dedicated pet parents. One of Ivy's pet parents is hearing-impaired, and the other is incapacitated due to a knee injury and was unable to walk her during Hurricane Sandy. While Ivy was walking with a neighbor, she escaped from her collar and was hit by a car before being rescued by a good Samaritan and brought to the ASPCA. We are all looking forward to Ivy's speedy recovery.
There is something very fishy about this story.
First of all - Service Dogs are with puppy raises for their entire 1st year - this story says Ivy is 1.
Then, the disabled person trains with the dog and a trainer for several months.
Service dogs are just like every other dog - they will wander if not leashed - which I assume was the case.
I am a disabled lab owner - my Ivy is my 2nd yellow lab. Never have I put my dogs in a position that would compromise their safety.
Whoever owns this baby was irresponsible - and should be investigated!

|Introduction | Pentax SMC DA 15mm F4 ED AL Limited review | Pentax SMC DA 21mm F3.2 ED AL Limited review | Pentax SMC DA 70mm F2.4 Limited review | Pentax SMC DA 40mm F2.8 Limited review | Pentax SMC DA 35mm f/2.8 Macro Limited review
Pentax was one of the first manufacturers to offer a coherent line of pancakes that is, fixed focal-length lenses at reduced size. Since the explosion of hybrid cameras, compactness has become a real selling point, and so pancake lenses are once again in style… giving us the chance to see what Pentax has to offer now that we're several years further down the road.
To continue with our analysis of Pentax pancake lenses, and to folllow our analysis of the Pentax smc DA 15mm F4 ED AL Limited, we present here the Pentax smc 21mm F3.2 ED AL Limited. As with all lenses in the "limited" series, this lens has a high-end finish: aluminium, 8 glass element in 5 groups, and of course the classic characteristics of all pancake lenses:
Its Full-Frame focal equivalent is 32mm, which makes it a practical choice for landscape and ordinary street photography. Its optical formula includes an aspherical element in an effort to limit chromatic aberrations.
Regrettably, the DxOMark score for this lens is a disappointing 11 points.
The good points of the Pentax smc DA 21mm F3.2 ED AL Limited:
Points that could be improved:
Just a small, quick comparison between the 21mm f/3.2 and the 15 mm f/4 previously analyzed: the 21mm stays ahead of the 15mm in nearly every respect except for chromatic aberrations.
Those who don't really need a very wide-angle lens shouldn't hesitate to choose the 21mm.
With Full-Frame focal equivalents of 32mm for the Pentax and 34 mm for the Olympus, these 2 lenses have quite similar results. Still, we prefer the Pentax model, given that the distortion is better controlled. Otherwise, the qualities and defects of these two lenses are very similar.
The advantages of the Pentax smc DA 21mm F3.2 AL Limited:
The advantages of the Carl Zeiss Distagon T 21mm f/2.8 ZF2 Nikon:
Here we see the limits that one can encounter with pancake lenses. Because the emphasis is on compactness, sometimes certain optical characteristics are not as well-controlled — such as, for example, the fact that there are many chromatic aberrations and the resolution is weaker at larger apertures.
The Pentax smc DA 21mm F3.2 AL Limited is rather disappointing in terms of its correction of chromatic aberrations, though it is still a good choice for reportage photography. As this lens is getting a bit long in the tooth, it would be nice to see a redesign of this equivalent of a 35mm lens — a focal length that is very popular with photographers.

Managing the Net-Enabled Organization
- 7-weeks
- 1.5 credits
- Prerequisite: MBA Core
The convergence of new Internet technologies and new ways of conducting business has led to unprecedented changes in the competitive environment of virtually every business. This course will examine our growing body of knowledge about successful (and unsuccessful) ways to leverage the Internet for business-to-consumer (B2C), business-to-business (B2B), and business-to-employee (B2E) applications, including integrated e-business strategies in which these boundaries become fuzzier. We will begin with a brief overview of the current competitive and technological landscapes, and some frameworks for analyzing a firm's e-business model. B2C and B2B opportunities for cyber-based businesses as well as clicks-and-mortar firms will be examined via background readings, teaching cases, and public Web sites. Examples of integrated strategies that also leverage B2E opportunities will be explored, along with the current legal, regulatory, and technological environments that constrain and enable today's e-business landscape.

RALEIGH – Amanda Perry Hayes' home for the next 11-14 years will be in state prison.
A Wake County jury found her guilty of second-degree murder Wednesday, making her share responsibility with her husband, Grant Ruffin Hayes III, of killing former Kinston resident Laura Jean Ackerson in July 2011.
Grant Hayes is currently serving a sentence of life in prison without parole after a first-degree murder conviction in September.
"I think that she came across as very rehearsed and, ultimately, incredible," Assistant District Attorney Becky Holt said following the trial.
Amanda Hayes, who regularly smiled and laughed with her attorneys during deliberations, sat with a forlorn expression as Senior Superior Court Judge Donald Stephens read out the verdict. The conviction came at about 3:45 p.m. on the third day of deliberations.
Given the chance to speak, Amanda Hayes spoke in a shaky voice while apologizing to the Ackersons and all the families involved, people involved in the trial, media members and anyone else touched by the incident.
"I didn't think much about the apology," Holt said. "Now, as the judge said, she had the opportunity to save Laura's life at the very least, and she gets up here now and everybody looked through this.
"There were so many opportunities where she could have gotten help or gone to people and looked for help, and given Laura's family a situation where they wouldn't have had to go through this."
Rodger Ackerson, Laura's father, got emotional talking about her, saying an indelible memory of his is when they would go to a park together to talk, relax and watch butterflies on tree stumps.
He also mentioned the process isn't over – a civil suit was filed at the Lenoir County Courthouse against the Hayeses alleging battery and wrongful death. Rodger Ackerson said after he filed the suit in July he intends to use any assets seized to provide for the three children involved – Grant Hayes' and Laura Ackerson's children, Grant IV and Gentle, and the Hayes' child, Lilly.
The children have been in the care of Grant Hayes' mother, Patsy, since the couple's arrest.
Before sentencing, defense counsel requested mitigating factors incorporated in the sentencing process, advocating Amanda Hayes' and Laura Ackerson's fates could have been flipped should Grant Hayes have met one before the other.
Stephens rejected the argument outright.
Still, Amanda Hayes' attorney Johnny Gaskins maintained Grant Hayes' dominating influence over her life and behavior played an outsized role in how she acted during Laura Ackerson's death and subsequent disposal of Ackerson's remains.
"(She) never would have been in this situation if it were not for Grant Hayes," Gaskins said.
After a rocky relationship with Grant Hayes – which included a sham marriage since he didn't sign the marriage certificate – Laura Ackerson rented an apartment in Kinston and shared custody of their two children.
Heading into an August 2011 custody hearing, a state psychologist assessed Grant Hayes was mentally unstable and evidence pointed toward Laura Ackerson getting full custody of their children.
Grant and Amanda Hayes took care of the children most of the week at their Raleigh apartment and they would usually exchange the children at a gas station in Wilson. The mid-week arrangement to pick up the children in Raleigh on July 13, 2011 was unusual, and Laura Ackerson expressed her apprehension on a phone call to a friend shortly before arriving at the Hayes' apartment.
Forensic evidence couldn't show how the Hayeses killed Laura Ackerson because her remains were too deteriorated once found by authorities, but in some method they killed her and then dismembered her in one of the apartment's bathrooms.
Subsequently, the couple took the remains – which were packed in coolers – to Amanda Hayes' sister's residence outside Richmond, Texas. The couple then disposed of them in nearby Oyster Creek.
Laura Ackerson's disappearance was first a missing person case, but it didn't take long for law enforcement to move on to a murder investigation, and the Hayeses were arrested in a matter of weeks.
Amanda Hayes was sentenced to just over 13 years to 16 years and six months in state prison, but she gets credit for about two years' time served.

If you're like most parents, you'll want to get at least one stroller for your baby. With so many designs and types of strollers, however, how do you choose?
Understand how to pick the best stroller for your baby and important stroller safety tips.
When looking at strollers for your baby, consider:
If you plan to use a stroller while your baby is a newborn, you'll need to make sure that the stroller reclines — since newborns can't sit up or hold up their heads.
Some strollers fully recline or can be used with a bassinet attachment or an infant-only car seat. However, most umbrella strollers typically don't provide adequate head and back support for young babies.
Also, most jogging strollers aren't designed to recline. As a result, they aren't appropriate for babies until about age 6 months.
If you have a car, you might look for a stroller that can hold your baby's car seat.
Some car seats and strollers come in matching sets, while others require separate attachments that allow the strollers to be used with certain car seats. Once you strap your baby into his or her car seat, these kinds of strollers will allow you to easily move your baby between the stroller and car.
These types of strollers can also be helpful in an airport, if you plan to take your baby's car seat on the plane.
If you use a travel system that allows you to move your baby's car seat from your vehicle to a stroller base, you might be tempted to let your baby finish car naps in his or her car seat. Keep in mind, though, a car seat is designed to protect your child during travel — not to serve as a replacement crib in your home. Although it's essential to buckle your child into a car seat during travel, don't let your child sleep or relax in the car seat for long periods of time out of the car.
Research suggests that sitting upright in a car seat might compress a newborn's chest and lead to lower levels of oxygen in a baby's blood. Even mild airway obstruction can impair a child's development.
Sitting in a car seat for lengthy periods can also contribute to the development of a flat spot on the back of your baby's head, as well as worsen any gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) — a chronic digestive disease.

The Free Press will be again be an exhibitor at the expo.
"The Free Press is a big supporter of Living the Good Life and we think it's one of the premiere events in Kinston each year," Advertising Director Matt Holbrook said.
For Mike Ingalls, the property manager of Vernon Park Mall, the expo has many benefits.
"It's interesting, exciting and will give a chance for business owners and employees to meet each other," Ingalls said. "It's a positive event and the event of the year for the mall. In fact, I think it's the biggest event for business interaction for the whole county. There's nothing like it."
