He is one of nine individuals elected to U.S. House in 2012 who have prior congressional experience, and one of five House Democrats ousted in 2010 who came back to unseat freshman Republican members two years later.[1][2]
He is set to run for re-election to the U.S. House in 2014. If he runs, he will seek the Democratic nomination in the primary election. The general election took place November 4, 2014.
Based on analysis of multiple outside rankings, Foster is an average Democratic member of Congress, meaning he will vote with the Democratic Party on the majority of bills.

National security
DHS Appropriations
Foster voted against HR 2217 - the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2014. The bill passed the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 245 - 182 and was largely along party lines.[7]
Keystone Pipeline Amendment
Foster voted against House Amendment 69, which would have amended HR 3 to "require that the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security, conduct a study of the vulnerabilities of the Keystone XL pipeline to a terrorist attack and certify that necessary protections have been put in place." The amendment failed on May 22, 2013, with a vote of 176 - 239 and was largely along party lines.[7]
Foster voted in favor of HR 624 - the CISPA (2013). The bill passed the House on April 18, 2013, with a vote of 288 - 127. The bill would allow federal intelligence agencies to share cybersecurity intelligence and information with private entities and utilities.[8] The bill was largely supported by Republicans, but divided the Democratic Party.[7]
Foster voted in support of HR 1960 - the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014. The bill passed the House on June 14, 2013, with a vote of 315 - 108. Both parties were somewhat divided on the vote.[7]
Government shutdown
- See also: United States budget debate, 2013
On September 30, 2013, the House passed a final stopgap spending bill before the shutdown went into effect. The bill included a one-year delay of the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate and would have also stripped the bill of federal subsidies for congressional members and staff. It passed through the House with a vote of 228-201.[9] At 1 a.m. on October 1, 2013, one hour after the shutdown officially began, the House voted to move forward with going to a conference. In short order, Sen. Harry Reid rejected the call to conference.[10] Foster voted against the stopgap spending bill that would have delayed the individual mandate.[11]
The shutdown finally ended on October 16, 2013, when the House took a vote on HR 2775 after it was approved by the Senate. The bill to reopen the government lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funds the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[12] The House passed the legislation shortly after the Senate, by a vote of 285-144, with all 144 votes against the legislation coming from Republican members. Foster voted for HR 2775.[13]
Pay during government shutdown
Foster said in a statement on October 1, 2013, that "Until Congress ends this irresponsible shutdown, I will donate my pay to charity."[14]
Closing of congressional gym
Foster and Patrick Murphy (D-FL) want the congressional gym closed until the shutdown impasse is over, and circulated a letter that would ask House Speaker John Boehner to deem the House spa non-essential for the duration of the shutdown.[15]
"Members of Congress should not enjoy access to their exclusive gym and spa while Capitol police go without pay, children are being turned away from Head Start and veterans are left wondering if their benefits will come in the mail on November 1st," said Foster in a statement.[15]
"Despite Speaker Boehner's refusal to reopen the government by bringing a clean CR to the House floor, he believes members of Congress should still receive congressional perks," the two Democrats wrote to colleagues on October 9, 2013. "He has deemed the congressional spa used by Members of the House of Representatives to be 'essential' during the shutdown...Not only are members still able to access the taxpayer-funded gym, sauna and steam room while tens of thousands of federal employees remain furloughed, janitorial staff are still required to clean the gym and restock it with towels and other 'essential items,'" Murphy and Foster said in the letter.[15]
The two members have to introduce the Shutdown Prioritization Act, or the SPA Act, that would prohibit the Architect of the Capitol from keeping the congressional gym open.[15]
Eva Malecki, a communications officer for the Architect of the Capitol, said: "When Members join the gym they are given key fobs that permit them to access the facility. The decision not to lock Members out was made because they keep personal items there, but Members have been made aware that the facility will be unstaffed until the government reopens, as its employees are paid with appropriated funds, which are unavailable during the shutdown."[15]
Many members sleep in their offices when Congress is in session and use the House gym to shower rather than obtaining a Washington D.C. apartment.[15]
Morton Memos Prohibition
Foster voted against House Amendment 136 - Prohibits the Enforcement of the Immigration Executive Order. The amendment was adopted by the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 224 - 201. The purpose of the amendment as stated on the official text is to "prohibit the use of funds to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the Morton Memos." These memos would have granted administrative amnesty to certain illegal aliens residing in the United States. The vote largely followed party lines.[7]
Health Care Reform Rules
Foster voted against House Amendment 450 - Requires Congressional Approval for Any Rules Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The amendment was adopted by the House on August 2, 2013, with a vote of 227-185. The amendment requires all changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act be approved by Congress before taking effect. The vote was largely along party lines.[7]
Keep the IRS Off Your Health Care Act
Foster voted against HR 2009 - Keep the IRS Off Your Health Care Act of 2013. The bill passed through the House on August 2, 2013, with a vote of 232-185. The bill would prevent the IRS and Treasury Secretary from enforcing the powers provided to them in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The vote largely followed party lines.[7]
Social issues
Amash amendment
Foster voted against House Amendment 413 - Prohibits the National Security Agency from Collecting Records Under the Patriot Act. The amendment failed on July 4, 2013, by a vote of 205-217. The amendment would have prohibited the collection of records by the National Security Agency under the Patriot Act. Both parties were split on the vote.[7]

I like conversational accountability much better than Sam's conversational intolerance and I think anything with "intolerance" in the name is going to throw up barriers to absorption so it won't even really be considered by many, probably most.
In any case, there are a few things to consider regarding conversational accountability. Assuming we want to promote the idea, does a lack of conversational diplomacy compromise the effort? How do you include challenging the status quo in the meme? Is it too late to "sell" a solid package of proper conversational accountability when most people will more than likely include faith in their version?
IOW, this topic is about rehashing the basic reasons Sam wrote The End of Faith and started this forum (and tossing that term tweak out there to see what yous think of it).

When a four-year-old poodle mix named Fluffy arrived at the ASPCA Animal Hospital, doctors knew they were dealing with a very sick dog. Vomiting and straining to urinate, Fluffy was unhappy and visibly depressed. Surgeons decided to operate the following day—a decision that would prove more critical than they even realized.
Fluffy underwent a cystotomy, a procedure during which an incision is made into the urinary bladder to remove bladder stones. But what surgeons found was no ordinary stone: 2 inches long and 1.5 inches wide, the stone was "like a jumbo chicken egg," said Dr. J'mai Gayle, Director of Surgery.
As Fluffy's surgery was underway, doctors also discovered that pressure from the stone had caused her ureter (the tube from the kidney to the bladder) to rupture. Infected urine had spilled into her belly and formed an abscess, which Dr. Maren Krafchik had to clear out before the dog's kidney could be removed. No wonder the poor pooch was vomiting and feeling so ill! Despite the surgical trauma that Fluffy had been through, Dr. Janice Fenichel, who saw Fluffy on her arrival, said "she looked 100 percent better" as soon as she awoke.
While Fluffy is recovering nicely, we hope that her story serves as a reminder to all pet parents. "It is so important to get any medical problems checked out right away," says Dr. Amy Fox, Fluffy's operating surgeon. "The sooner we treat these problems, the better chance the animals have of making a full recovery."
Early signs of bladder stones include straining to urinate, blood in the urine, and frequent need to urinate. A pet owner noticing any of these things should take their pet to the vet immediately.
Fluffy's cystotomy and additional procedures were made possible in part by the ASPCA's Trooper Fund, a program in place to cover medical costs for animals whose guardians need assistance with veterinary expenses.

I actually just rescued a lab/mastiff only to find he had a bladder stone the size of a dinosaur egg. It weighed in at 1.9 lbs when removed. Bless them for having lived with that pain. Bo sends love and healing thoughts from his happy foster home!
Wow! That is insane! Glad he's okay!
My pug dog randomly peed in the house one day, which was extremely unlike her, and the urine she passed was bright red so I rushed her in. Turns out she had several bladder stones the size of quarters. She's on a special diet now and hasn't had any issues since.
Sara: Turns out she had several bladder stones the size of quarters. She's on a special diet now and hasn't had any issues since...Anne: What is the special diet?

Workplace Wellness
Workplace Wellness: Why It Matters
Workplace wellness is everybody's business. Many employees spend more than 1/3 of their day at work. That's at least one meal a day-- and the majority of their waking hours. Given all of the time we spend at work, employers and employees coming together to create a healthy work environment benefits everyone!
Leadership is key to making this happen and good leaders realize that "workplace well-being is a business strategy."
Business Case for Workplace Wellness
Nearly 1 in 5 Americans had a diagnosable mental health condition in the last year and many others are at risk. For almost 20 years, stress-related issues in the workplace have been on the rise. What's more, these conditions tend to strike during our most productive working years, and they are among our nation's most disabling. The numbers are staggering. Every year, mental illness and substance abuse cost employers an estimated $80 to $100 billion in direct costs. Our mental and physical health is inextricably linked together.
Lifetime Prevalence of Mental Illnesses
The good news is that many employers are recognizing the human as well as financial value of having a healthy workplace!

Vol. 20 , No. 10
Podlich Distinguished Fellow
The Legacy of Czeslaw Milosz
Adam Michnik, former dissident, historian, writer, lecturer, and one of Poland's leading journalists, will speak in Parents dining Room at the Athenaeum to discuss the legacy of Czeslaw Milosz. Those wishing to reserve a space at the dinner preceding his talk, please call the Athenaeum at ext. 18244. Seating is limited and on a first-come basis.
A hero to many, Adam Michnik ranks among the most fearless and respected public intellectuals of the last half century. Counted high among Michnik's own heroes is the late Czeslaw Milosz (1911-2004), the poet and essayist who was an inspiration to many who resisted totalitarianism, oppression, and coercion. Michnik has told the story of how during the days of Solidarity, underground publishing was trying to return the opposition in Parliament into a culture: "I remember when I once was arrested the police found a box of treatises by Milosz in my apartment. And during the interrogation the officer was saying, 'Mr. Michnik do you believe that with the help of this little poetry you are going to win against Communism?' And we won."
Michnik, who joins Claremont McKenna College this semester as a Podlich Distinguished Fellow, has been the editor in chief of the first independent Polish daily newspaper, Gazeta Wyborcza, since its inception in 1989. It is now Poland's largest newspaper and one of Europe's most influential dailies. A lifelong activist for human rights, he was detained many times between 1965 and 1986, spending a total of six years in prison for his opposition to the communist regime. An adviser to the Solidarity trade union during the 1980s, he was a negotiator for the Solidarity team during the Round Table negotiations of 1989 between representatives of the government, Solidarity, and other groups that brought an end to communist rule in Poland.
He is the author of countless essays, articles, and books, including Letters from Prison and Other Essays (1985), Letters from Freedom: Post-Cold War Realities and Perspectives (1998), and The Church and the Left (1993). He has received numerous awards in recognition of his eloquently articulated advocacy of democracy and freedom of the press.
Czeslaw Milosz served in the Polish diplomatic corps, defecting from the communist state and settling in the U.S. during the Cold War years. The Nobel Laureate, who died last year, was honored during the Milosz International Festival: The Exile in California, a four-day event held on the CMC campus in 1998, which Michnik attended.
One Step Forward, Two Steps Back? Anti-terrorism Measures and the Implications for Political Liberalization
Professor Heidi Rutz joined the faculty of the Strategy and Policy Department at the United States Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island in August 2003. Prior to joining the Naval War College, she taught as a visiting instructor in the department of government at Claremont McKenna College during 2002-03. She has conducted approximately five years (cumulatively) of field research in Syria, Israel, and Jordan. As a U.S. Fulbright scholar, she also spent two years in Damascus, Syria and has also been a research affiliate with the Truman Institute for the Advancement of Peace at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Her dissertation research focused on the increased importance of transnational networks among ethnic and religious opposition movements in the Middle East, particularly in the Palestinian and Israeli context. Professor Rutz received her B.A. from the University of Chicago and her M.A. and her Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles.
Rutz's current research focuses on emerging evidence that many states have begun to face significant choices when deciding on how to pursue and implement anti-terrorism measures at the same time that liberalization programs remain a priority. It addresses the possible setbacks that the U.S.-led GWOT, as both a war on terrorism and an engine of democratization, may encounter during the long and uneven process of political and economic liberalization in the region of the Middle East.
This lecture by Professor Rutz is sponsored by the Center for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights as part of the Human Rights emphasis of the Center.
The Poet Reads from His Work
Adam Zagajewski is one of the great poets writing today. In October 1945, when he was four months old, Zagajewski's family was forced to move from their beloved native city of Lovov to the industrial and, until then, German city of Gliwice, Poland. He later moved to Krakow, where he was graduated from the Jagellonian University. Passionately opposed to the ruling Communist regime, Zagajewski was the best-known figure of the in the "Generation of 1968," a group of dissident young poets. He continued to rage against the government until the late 1970s, when he largely abandoned defiant political poetry for more lyrical and meditative verse.
In 1982 he moved to Paris, where his mature work flowered, and he produced work that explored the relationship of the indvidual and history, reality, and art. "Seldom has the muse of poetry spoken to anyone with such clarity and urgency," wrote Nobel Laureate Joseph Brodsky, "as in Zagjewski's case." His collections of poems in English include Tremor (1985), Canvas (1991), Mysticism for Beginners (1997), and Without End (2002). A pioneer of the modern prose poem, Zagajewski's collections of essays include Two Cities (1995) and Another Beauty (2000). He was awarded the prestigious Neustadt International Prize for Literature in 2004, and teaches half the year at the University of Houston.
Teaching Difficult Subjects: World Religions in a Divisive World
LUNCH, 11:45 a.m., PANEL DISCUSSION, 12:15 p.m.
The subject of religion in the world is increasingly and pervasively front page news. How do world religion professors approach the study of religion in the classroom under such circumstances? Three professors— specialists in Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism— will discuss their own pedagogical models, and illustrate from their own experience how they have shifted their own strategies in response to a divisive world.
Zayn Kassam is associate professor of religious studies at Pomona College, Claremont, and is also on the faculty at Claremont Graduate University. A graduate of McGill University (Ph.D. 1995), she teaches courses in Islamic philosophy, mysticism, gender and literature as well as a course on philosophical and mystical texts from a comparative perspective. She has been honored with a Wig Award for Distinguished Teaching at Pomona College, and has lectured widely on gender issues in the United States, Canada, and Britain. Her published articles include: "Muslim Women Writers in South Asia"; "Our Worlds and His: Naguib Mahfouz's Palace Walk" (1997); "Mindfield or Minefield: Teaching Religion in a Multicultural Classroom" (1997); "The Individual and Notions of Community"; and others dealing with ethics and gender. She is currently working on two books, one on aspects of Quranic interpretation in medieval Islamic philosophy, and one on gender issues in the Islamic world.
Gary Gilbert received his B.A. in classics from Haverford College and his doctorate in biblical studies from Columbia University with additional studies in ancient Jewish history and literature at The Jewish Theological Seminary, and New Testament and early Christianity at Union Theological Seminary. Gilbert is associate professor of religious studies at CMC and coordinator of the Jewish Studies program at The Claremont Colleges. He has published many articles on the New Testament and ancient Judaism and is currently completing a book on the influence of Roman political propaganda on early Christian thought. Gilbert will spend academic year 2005-06 as a visiting scholar at the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies.
John Stratton Hawley is Ann Whitney Olin Professor of Religion at Barnard College, Columbia University. Most of his books explore aspects of Hindu religion, often featuring gender, but others range more widely, especially toward comparative questions. Recently published are a revised edition of Songs of the Saints of India (2004, with Mark Juergensmeyer) and Three Bhakti Voices: Mirabai, Surdas, and Kabir in Their Time and Ours (2005), both from Oxford University Press, Delhi. Hawley has served as director of Columbia's Southern Asian Institute; has received multiple awards from NEH, the Smithsonian, and the American Institute of Indian Studies; and has been a Guggenheim Fellow. This panel discussion is sponsored by the CMC Teaching Resource Center.
Bloggers: The Rise of the New Media and the Decline of the Old
Blogs are fast replacing traditional media as the source for reliable information, and now Hugh Hewitt, whom The Wall Street Journal calls the "unofficial historian of the blogging movement," reflects on the decline of the Old Media and the rise of the New.
"Blog" is short for "Web log"— an online site with time-dated postings, maintained by one or more posters, that features links and commentary. But that is like saying a car is a means of transportation featuring four wheels. Millions are changing their habits when it comes to information acquisition, and the blogosphere has appeared so suddenly as to surprise even the most sophisticated of analysts.
In Blog: Understanding the Information Reformation That's Changing Your World (2005), currently number three on the New York Times non-fiction list, author Hugh Hewitt details the rise of blogging and the veritable information revolution in some ways comparable to the invention of the printing press. Examining a number of recent national issues– from "Rathergate" to John Kerry's difficulties with the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth- Hewitt shows how the blogosphere has influenced, and shaped, public debate. Hewitt helps us both to understand, and to take advantage of, this revolution.
Hugh Hewitt is the host of a nationally syndicated radio show heard in more than 70 cities nationwide, and a professor of law at Chapman University Law School, where he teaches Constitutional Law. Besides Blog, he is the best-selling author of If It's Not Close, They Can't Cheat: Crushing the Democrats in Every Election and Why Your Life Depends on It (2004), as well as four other books. Hewitt received 3 Emmys during his decade of work as co-host of the PBS Los Angeles affiliate KCET's public affairs show Life & Times. He is a weekly columnist for The Daily Standard, the online edition of The Weekly Standard, and writes for World Magazine. Hugh Hewitt's Athenaeum lecture is sponsored by the Salvatori Center at Claremont McKenna College.

Japan-U.S. Relations— Strong or Fragile?
According to a recent poll, majority of both the Japanese and Americans think that Japan-U.S. relations are in good shape. On the other hand, there are some troubling signs— increasing trends of mistrust on both sides. In the age of globalization, America and Japan both face new challenges: for America, to maintain its global leadership without losing its soft power; for Japan, to assume a major international role with its graying and shrinking population. These are among the issues that Takakazu Kuriyama will explore in his Athenaeum lecture.

The Religion Factor in the 2004 Election
Carol Moseley Braun has served her country as a United States Senator from 1992-98, U.S. Ambassador from 1999-2001, as well as County Executive Officer, State Representative, and Assistant United States Attorney.
A graduate of the Chicago Public Schools, she received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Illinois-Chicago in 1968, and her law degree in 1972 from the University of Chicago. She joined the United States Attorney's office in Chicago in 1973.
The hallmark of her public service has been dedication to the harmony of the community. She is an advocate of diversity and has consistently worked to build an inclusive society. Her extensive and constructive legislative record reflects this commitment to social justice and good government.
In 1998, after Moseley Braun was narrowly defeated in her race for re-election, President Clinton named her special consultant to the Department of Education on school construction- one of her longtime special concerns. She was then nominated to be U.S. Ambassador to New Zealand. As United States Ambassador, her portfolio included New Zealand, Samoa, the Cook Islands and Antarctica. She is fond of calling this time in her public service "Ambassador to Paradise." Since her return in 2001 from her ambassadorial posting to New Zealand, she has taught law and political science at Morris Brown College and DePaul University, as well as maintaining a business consultancy and law practice in Chicago.
In September 2003, she announced her candidacy for the U.S. Presidency, one of the first African-American women to seek this office. She withdrew from the race in January 2004 and endorsed the candidacy of Howard Dean.
The Religion and the American Presidency conference will analyze the critical role that religious rhetoric, symbols, values, and worldviews have played in shaping the American presidency over the past thirty years. In particular, it will explore how the personal religion of Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush has shaped their domestic and/or foreign policies; the complicated and often utilitarian relationship between American presidents and African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, and Women; and the sometimes rocky and often conflicting relationships between American presidents and Catholics, Mainline Protestants, Evangelicals, Mormons, Muslims, Jews, and people with no particular religious preference.

When Parsifal (Jonas Kaufmann) arrives at the sanctuary of the Grail and unknowingly kills a holy swan, Gurnemanz (René Pape) angrily questions him about his past.
A scene from Act I
Peter Mattei sings Amfortas, the ailing ruler of the brotherhood of the Grail.
Jonas Kaufmann as Parsifal
The sorcerer Klingsor (Evgeny Nikitin) has created a magic garden to entrap the Knights of the Grail.
Klingsor's Flower Maidens try to seduce Parsifal.
Through his encounter with Kundry (Katarina Dalayman), Parsifal (Jonas Kaufmann) realizes that it's his mission to save the suffering brotherhood of the Grail.
After years of wandering, Parsifal returns to find an aged Gurnemanz (René Pape)...
...who anoints him as the new King of the Grail.
Parsifal (Jonas Kaufmann) baptizes the penitent Kundry (Katarina Dalayman), releasing her from her curse.
A scene from Act III
With the brotherhood of the Grail in decline, Amfortas (Peter Mattei) only wants his own death.
In the opera's final scene, Parsifal returns the Holy Spear to the sanctuary of the Grail, healing Amfortas and saving the brotherhood.

Exceptionally qualified students entering their third or fourth year may take a program of independent study provided it has been approved both by the Associate Dean (Studies) and by the Department or Departments principally involved.
A Department may approve an independent study program without permitting it to be counted toward a concentration in that Department. It is, consequently, the responsibility of students taking such programs to ensure that the concentration requirements for a degree will be met.
Requests for such a program must be received by the Office of the Associate Deans (Studies) one month before the start of the first term in which the student intends to undertake the program. Requests must include: i) a detailed outline of the project, including its aims, the topics to be studied, and a preliminary list of readings; ii) the names of the faculty members supervising the project, including the principal coordinator; iii) the number of units for which the project is to substitute, based on an estimate of the amount of work to be covered by the project, taking into account the planned learning hours; and iv) the method by which the student's performance is to be evaluated, and the method by which the grade or grades will be assigned.
The Associate Deans (Studies) may, in consultation with the student and faculty members involved, propose modifications in the project, particularly with respect to the number of units to be assigned to it. The Associate Dean (Studies) may require an interview with the student.
Course numbers assigned to independent study are specified under Course Number in the How to Use the Arts and Science Calendar section of the Calendar. The departmental code assigned to the course will be that of the department which is closest to the material studied, provided it has agreed to take academic responsibility for the project.
Credit will be allowed for successful completion of courses in languages other than English and other than those offered at Queen's provided that:
a) The course is in a modern language, defined as one that is currently used by an existing culture;
b) The course is offered by an accredited university, a school affiliated with such a university or by one of the language schools historically recognized by Queen's;
c) Criteria for determining credit equivalency will be by parameters currently in use for all courses, that is, a grade determined by the host institution, number of contact hours, learning objectives/outcomes, type and number of assignments; and
d) The student has the course approved prior to departure by means of an International Letter of Permission, and supplies appropriate evidence of the above on return.
Credit for such language courses will transfer as LANG P10/3.0, for a first course in a modern language, LANG P11/3.0 for a continuation of LANG P10/3.0, LANG 120/3.0, for an advanced-level course in a modern language and LANG 121/3.0 for a continuation of LANG 120/3.0. LANG credits will not be assessed above the 100 level.
The Admission Regulations govern the admission of students into the Faculty of Arts and Science, whether directly from high school, from another postsecondary institution, or from another Faculty or School within Queen's University.
The following Admission Regulations describe the requirements for admission to the Faculty of Arts and Science. The admission requirements stated in this chapter are minimum requirements, and the standing required for admission may be higher. Preference will be given to applicants with the strongest qualifications. Admission Regulations 1 – 11 present the admission requirements for the various categories of admission. Admission Regulation 12 describes the procedures applicants must follow for admission to on-campus studies, and Admission Regulation 13 describes the procedures applicants must follow for admission to distance studies.
Entering students are ordinarily allowed no credits for previous experience or education up to the level of completion of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent. They may, with the consent of the departments concerned, be permitted to take advanced courses or alternative courses if their previous experience and education so warrant.
All applicants should note that the Queen's University Senate Policy on Student Appeals, Rights and Discipline states that applicants seeking admission to the University or a Program at Queen's may not appeal a decision regarding an individual application, whether or not the applicant is, or has been, a student in another Program at Queen's. By extension, applicants may not appeal any regulation stated in the Admission chapter of the Faculty of Arts and Science Calendar.
See the full Admission Regulations
The Academic Regulations govern student conduct and academic progression within the Faculty. Attention is drawn in particular to Academic Regulation 1(Academic Integrity); 2 (Enrolment and Registration Priorities); 10 (System of Grading); 13 (Academic Standing) and 16 (Requirements for Graduation). Students must comply with all the academic regulations of the Faculty, as well as those Senate Policies that govern student conduct and academic progression within the University as a whole.
These regulations state the requirements to be met and the procedures to be followed for the awarding of degrees in the Faculty of Arts and Science. All requests for exceptions to the regulations should be made to the appropriate reviewing body (see Appeal of Academic Decisions). Inquiries concerning Faculty regulations should be made to the Faculty of Arts and Science Faculty Office.
Faculty Regulations are constantly being reviewed and may change at any time.
In all regulations that refer to decisions made by the instructor, the instructor may choose to delegate responsibility for those decisions as appropriate.
The following is a summary of the Academic Regulations and University Policies:
The Appeal Regulations govern the process by which students may appeal decisions regarding academic integrity and other academic matters. These might include: the grade received in an assignment, exam or course; to add or drop a course after the academic deadline; to waive a requirement to withdraw; or to request aegrotat or credit standing in a course. Student's attention is also drawn to the Senate Policy on Students' Appeals, Rights and Discipline (SARD), available from the Senate website at: http://www.queensu.ca/secretariat/senate.html
The following are the main sections of the Appeal Regulations:
These regulations outline the special regulations for a student who is attempting more than one undergraduate degree within the Faculty of Arts and Science, either concurrently with a degree from another Faculty or School (Dual Degree) or consecutively when the first degree was obtained either from Queen's University or elsewhere (Second Degree). This section also contains information on the degree upgrade process, wherein a student holding a General (3-year) undergraduate degree from the Faculty of Arts and Science at Queen's may upgrade it to an Honours (4-year) degree.

Ivanovic goes. Seems really harsh but not sure the ref had any choice.
Can't remember a United side with such a crap defence under Fergie. Rio looks past his best and they miss a fit Vidic so much.
That's a smeller from the ref, clear contact there.
Don't really like this clampdown on diving, makes game-changing decisions out of molehills.
Yep, definite contact - awful decision.
Clattenburg has lost control of this, can see a United player getting walked if only to even things up.
Although it will now make it all the more embarrassing if they do us with nine men...
Clattenburg has been a joke for years. No idea how he still has a top flight gig.
The one, the only CW Black
Code:47.3 W Coppinger to Heads Smacked the ball straight into the groin of Iwuajoku who has fallen over, miraculously with the ball still caught in his scrotal area! Out!
Clattenburg is a terrible ref. Don't know how he is still a top flight ref.
Hahahah he's offside! **** me.
Wow. Just wow.
"If that Swann lad is the future of spin bowling in this country, then we're ****ed." - Nasser Hussain, 1997.
First thing I yelled was "he's offside you ****!". Woke up my mate haha.
An absolute travesty of a game, ****ing disgrace.
Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.
Walt Whitman
At 2-2, 10 v 11 - which is what it should be - we were in for a cracking last 25 minutes. Shame that now all anyone will talk about is the officiating.
H&J will be funny on Talksport tomorrow after this.
Can't help but be concerned that if I didn't know we were two men up, there's no way I'd be able to tell by watching the game.
****ing great result. Will take that all day long.

Cuba (Green) I love this fragrance its perfect for a fresh crisp smell all day or evening
Written by Ranae B on June 12, 2013Read Review details ►
Cuba Green is a pleasant scent that lasts a good while on your skin or handkercheif. Unfortunately, it does not last long in the bottle. The product isn't very stable, so it's really only a good choice for someone who can use it up in a couple of months. Otherwise, you'll just be spraying yourself with alchohol. If you get it, go for the small bottle.

Green is a very nice vetiver scent, well blended with woodsy notes. For under $10 it is amazing, of course it is will not last very long so spray liberally and keep. Duration is much more akin to a body spray then a cologne. But really excellent value and enticing scent, which is par for the course with Cuba. Would like to see company take a few choice scents and make a true lasting cologne with it, that would be interesting, but these are just fine so long as you refresh as needed.

Club competitions
National team competitions
29-20, 22-17, 21-13, 17-20
Pinar Karsiyajka stayed perfect in Group I of the EuroChallenge Last 16 as they cruised to an 89-71 victory over Joensuun Kataja.
Robert Dixon poured in 28 points for Karsiyaka, with Jon Diebler adding 19, Can Mutaf 11 and William Thomas 10.
After Kataja opened the scoring through Daniel Coleman, Karsiyaka responded with 14 straight, 12 of them from Dixon before Thomas' jump-shot.
They moved 20-4 ahead on Evren Buker's lay-up and Kataja were all but out of it with the game barely five minutes old.
A 13-0 run in the second period powered the hosts into a 48-25 lead on Mutaf's three-pointer, and although Kataja offered some slightly stiffer resistance in the second half, the final result was already a foregone conclusion.
Jermaine Flowers scored 17 points to lead Kataja, with Petri Virtanen adding 10.
"Before coming to Izmir we knew that a tough game is waitting for us. But when the home team found 10 pts difference it was hard to catch them back."
Joensuun Kataja head coach Jukka Toijala"To play a game in this gym with this atmosphere was very nice even if you lose. The start of the game, 20-4, made it hardto come back, but whatever my players played the rest of the game even to get some lessons, we will be looking for the game in Joensuun. But l believe Pinar Karsiyaka will be in the top 8."
Pinar Karsiyaka player Can Mutaf"First of all congratulations to my teammates. It was an important game for us to be able to get the first place in the group, not finished yet maybe but we are happy not to make a mistake on the road."
Pinar Karsiyaka head coach Ufuk Sarica"Starting the game tough brought us the win. Our first target is to qualify and the next is to take first place, so on the way we are going on strongly. Not only for winning today but also for our fans we are so happy to see the gym packed."
