Father to the SR-2 were the Corvettes that showed up for the 12 Hours of Sebring at the legendary Florida airport track a month later. "As for the U.S. entries," Motor Trend wrote in a report on the March event in its June '56 issue, "the average sports car racing Joe simply wasn't to be found among the entries; they were strictly the cream of the U.S. crop. But there on the list, virtually rubbing elbows with the world's top-ranking sports car brass, was a team of 1956 Chevrolet Corvettes, looking as awkwardly out of place as a girl in her first high heels."
Those awkward Corvettes at Sebring were the first to wear the SR name. It seems that back in January 1956, Cole and Chevy discovered that the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) which sanctioned the Sebring race required that any and all modifications made to a production car to make it ready for racing be available to the general public and that at least 25 examples of the breed needed to be built. So a new model was created: the "SR." Some say the initials meant "Special Racing" and others contend it meant "Sebring Racer," but the argument is wholly academic because the car's name was just the initials. The SR models were supposed to come with a 37-gallon fuel tank feeding an engine equipped with the legendary "Duntov" cam, Halibrand Sport disc brakes, an Auburn clutch, quick-change wheels, and that racing innovation, seatbelts. The Halibrand brakes didn't make it onto the race cars, but one of the four entered cars did have an engine engorged to a massive 307 cubic inches and fitted with a prototype of the Rochester mechanical fuel-injection system and a ZF close-ratio four-speed transmission. The three regular 265ci displacement cars ran in Class C, while the big-engine machine competed in Class B.
The SRs didn't win at Sebring, but they did earn respect. As Motor Trend's Al Kidd reported, the "Corvette team was entered by Raceway Enterprises of Dundee, Illinois. This dissuaded almost no one from calling it a Chevrolet 'works entry' but it technically avoided the blunt connotation... There was virtually no handling problem with the Corvettes. Heavy-duty springs and shocks (two on each rear wheel) brought about handling that all of the team drivers liked. There was a problem with brakes. At least four different types were tried out (including sport discs) but the final solution came with the use of Cerametalix facings on a slightly wider than stock shoe, along with finned cast-iron drums. The solution, while expensive, gave them outstanding braking power during practice, and excellent staying power in the race."
While two of the four Corvettes dropped out early (including the Class B car), one of the Class C cars finished 15th (with John Fitch as one of the codrivers) and another finished next to last. Hey, it was a start and Motor Trend concluded, "It looks like the Corvette may develop into our number-one challenger in international sports car racing." It did.

A Countdown on the Worst Corporate Brand Name Changes
John Stuart, the Chairman of Quaker, was on to something when he said in 1900:
"If this business were split up, I would give you the land and bricks and mortar, and I would take the brands and trade marks, and I would fare better than you."
John Stuart knew the importance of branding way back in 1900 and the fact is that the rules of branding haven't changed much since then. The brand name is still a crucial aspect of brand communication. It is, arguably, the first point of contact that the consumer has with the brand. A change of a familiar brand name can spell disaster for the brand. Here's a countdown on the worse brand name changes in recent times.
BrandHub is a Singapore based strategic brand consultancy dedicated to creating and building Leader Brands in Asia. Established in 2003, BrandHub has been voted the leading independent brand consultancy in Singapore by readers of Marketing Magazine in 2007 and 2008.

Course Descriptions Fall 2011PHI 1306.01 Introduction to Logic
David Echelbarger MH 110 TR 9:30-10:45
The purpose of this course is to enable you to reason well. Specifically, it will strengthen your ability to (1) understand and clarify language, (2) recognize informal fallacies in reasoning, and (3) determine the validity and invalidity of deductive arguments. These skills will enhance your ability to identify relationships and connections among ideas. This should be of inestimable value to you personally and professionally. This class will also prove helpful for those planning to take the GRE, the LSAT, or other preparatory examinations.
PHI 1306.02 Introduction to Logic
Matt Douglass MH 108 MWF 11:15-12:05
This course introduces logic as a method of thinking carefully in all disciplines. A firm understanding of logic is essential for future philosophers and lawyers, useful for anyone worried about impending admissions tests (the LSAT, GMAT, and so on), edifying for anyone who cares about truth, and fun for puzzle doers and problem solvers. Part of the course will explore informal reasoning, focusing especially on informal fallacies and analysis of arguments in everyday English. Then we will look at formal logic systems, including categorical logic and statement logic, which are used to construct proofs and evaluate arguments for soundness and validity. Finally, we will practice analyzing lengthier arguments and writing insightful critiques.
PHI 1306.03 Introduction to Logic
Scott Cleveland MH 106 MWF 12:20-1:10
This course will help you become a better thinker through the study of what makes an argument a good one. Whether in conversations, college papers, blogs, political debates, advertising, movies, or the news, we are constantly making or encountering arguments. Logic is the study of arguments. You will learn how the premises of arguments support (or fail to support) their conclusions. Studying logic will help you formulate better arguments, clarify your own beliefs and reasons for holding them, and identify and evaluate the arguments you encounter daily. Consequently, you will acquire crucial intellectual skills that will equip you to flourish no matter your vocation.
PHI 1306.04 Introduction to Logic
Stuart Rosenbaum MH 100 MWF 1:25-2:15
This course is designed to cover basics of logic that might be useful to students. Many students who want to pursue further professional studies take standard national exams like the GRE, LSAT, GMAT, or MCAT. Many students believe this logic course helps on those kinds of exams, and I intend the course to cover materials with that explicit goal in mind. Assessing the quality of reasoning about specific issues is one primary aim of the course, and one tool for making these assessments appears on our course outline as "informal fallacies." In addition, much of the course is devoted to techniques of formal reasoning and to standard kinds of terminology for evaluating it; these techniques and terminology are also useful in larger contexts. The text for the course is Hurley's A Concise Introduction to Logic.
PHI 1306.05 Introduction to Logic
Clifton Bryant MH 106 MWF 10:10-11:00
Simply put, logic is the study of arguments. We encounter arguments all the time as people try to give us reasons to believe claims about topics ranging from religion, ethics, and politics to less important matters. Some of these arguments are good – they give us good reason to accept their conclusions. Some of them are bad – they do not give us good reason to accept their conclusions. It's important to be able to tell the difference because there are plenty of bad arguments to be had in areas in which it's important to not be deceived. So, you need to study logic because it will help you tell good arguments from bad arguments. As an added bonus, the skills learned in the course will be of particular use to students preparing for exams such the LSAT and the GRE.
This course will introduce you to the basics of logic. Among other things, you will be introduced to Aristotelean logic, propositional logic, truth tables, inductive logic, and fallacies. By studying these topics you will come to understand the structure of arguments and learn how to evaluate arguments that you encounter and construct good ones of your own. This will make you a better person, at least in some respects.
PHI 1306.06 Introduction to Logic
John Spano MH 106 TR 12:30-1:45
In this course we will seek to develop those skills necessary for thinking carefully, expressing one's own ideas clearly, and evaluating well the many claims and arguments that confront us daily. Rules and methods that guide these intellectual abilities towards excellences can be found in the study of logic. Topics to be discussed include informal reasoning, formal and informal fallacies, categorical logic, truth-tables, deductive and inductive arguments, and proofs. The study and acquisition of these skills are not only essential to the development of understanding, but will also prove helpful for graduate entrance exams (GRE, LSAT, MCAT, GMAT), your other course-work, as well as avoiding bad advice.
PHI 1306.07 Introduction to Logic
Heidi Chamberlin MH 110 MWF 9:05-9:55
This course is intended to introduce students to the basic principles of logical reasoning. Students will be taught to analyze arguments and think critically about the rhetoric that engages them on a daily basis. This will involve recognizing informal fallacies, as well as learning to effectively employ the techniques of formal logic. Students wanting to pursue graduate studies will benefit from taking this course, as good reasoning skills will improve their chances of doing well on graduate entrance exams (LSAT, MCAT, GMAT, GRE).
PHI 1306.09 Introduction to Logic
Ryan Byerly MH 106 TR 2:00-3:15
Whether it is in a paper for a class or in a discussion with a roommate, no one wants to be illogical. In this class, we will work to understand not only what logic is and how to use it, but also how we use logic in every part of our lives and how to keep from being illogical. We will consider both formal and informal logic while looking at examples of both kinds of logic in movies, television, politics and other media. We will work to create logical arguments of our own throughout the semester. Additionally, we will do work in areas of logic that will help in preparation for various graduate school entrance exams.
PHI 1307.01 Critical Thinking: Logic and the Law
Joel Schwartz MH 105 TR 11:00-12:15
One of the most important and effective tools of rational persuasion, and one of the cornerstones of the legal profession, is argument – the use of evidence to support a conclusion. In this course we will work on developing the skills of formulating and effectively communicating clear and cogent arguments. We will also practice identifying fallacious patterns of reasoning and argumentation (i.e., logical fallacies) in order to avoid being irrationally persuaded by them and in order to avoid employing them ourselves. While the skills of logical formulation and critical evaluation of arguments are central to critical thinking in general, they are particularly useful for future lawyers, judges, and jury members and can be helpful for students preparing for standardized exams (e.g., LSAT, GRE, etc.). This course, while useful for anyone interested in improving their critical thinking skills, is thus specifically designed for those with an interest in the law. We will, throughout the semester, evaluate several important examples of (good and bad) legal argumentation drawn from a variety of sources, ranging from historic U.S. Supreme Court decisions to popular television legal dramas.
PHI 1308.01 Introduction to Ethics: Contemporary Moral Issues Involving Freedom, Rights, and Equality
Ryan Byerly MH 105 MWF 10:10-11:00
The founding documents of our nation express a deep concern that in our society the freedom, rights, and equality of all citizens be preserved. But today we are confronted with very practical moral issues which lead us to question just how far freedom extends, just which so-called rights really are rights, and in exactly what sense of equality all of us should be treated equally. For example, are drug usage, pornography consumption, and offensive speech and behavior legitimate exercises of freedom? Do fetuses or terminally ill persons have a right to life which it is always morally wrong to violate through abortion or euthanasia? Do I have a right to end my own life, if it becomes disvaluable to me? And is there anything our government should do concerning affirmative action and immigration in order to ensure that the goal of equality is upheld? In this class, we will investigate contemporary moral issues like the ones just mentioned through both classical and contemporary readings. We will endeavor to understand and evaluate the best available arguments on each side of these issues. As we do so, we will also consider whether and how a Christian or other religious perspective might inform our deliberations. Students who take this course will be in a position to make informed contributions to ongoing public dialogue about these important topics.
PHI 1308.02 Introduction to Ethics: Biomedical Ethics
Gregory Poore MH 105 MWF 12:20-1:10
This course is an introduction to ethics with a focus on biomedical ethics. The field of biomedical ethics is vast, including such topics as contraception, cloning, abortion, physician assisted suicide, medical experimentation, enhancement procedures, and the relationship between patients and health care professionals. This course will survey several of the key issues in the field. An emphasis throughout the course will be learning to carefully read and interpret the reasons people give for their moral views, and then critically to engage those reasons by asking penetrating questions and presenting arguments in response. A concern throughout the course will be the relevance of Christianity to discussions of biomedical ethics.
PHI 1308.03 Introduction to Ethics: Virtues, Friendship, and Community
Michael Beaty MH 110 TR 11:00- 12:15
This course is designed for first-year members of Brooks Residential College. In it we will explore philosophical issues related to the moral, social, and political dimensions of our lives. Its aim is to offer students a thoughtful understanding of how to live human life well. We will give special attention to virtues and practices that lie at the heart of our highest flourishing--as human beings, as friends, and as communities. A distinctive feature of the course is combining the study of key philosophical texts with reflection upon the aspirations and practices of Brooks College. In so doing, the course will bridge the gap between theory and practice. Among the particular virtues examined in the course are the cardinal virtues (prudence, courage, temperance and justice), and some specifically Christian virtues (e.g., faith, hope, love, generosity, humility, patience). Morally significant practices explored in the course include friendship, hospitality, and intentional community building.
PHI 1308.04 Introduction to Ethics: Biomedical Ethics
Nathan Carson MH 108 TR 2:00-3:15
Substantial ethical issues accompany new biotechnologies and the practice of medicine generally, and these issues require from us a better appreciation of how we ought to live and act in light of them. In this course, we will examine bioethical issues that center around some or all of the following areas:
(1) The patient & health care professional relationship (truth-telling and confidentiality, informed consent in experimentation, and patient autonomy vs. health care professional autonomy); (2) beginning of life ethical issues (reproductive technologies, genetic therapy and enhancement, and abortion); (3) end of life ethical issues (euthanasia, life-sustaining treatments, death); (4) systemic justice in health care (resource allocation, health care reform, specialization vs. primary care).
A fundamental thesis of this course will be that a solution to many of the ethical issues and problems generated by biotechnologies, and by the practice of medicine generally, cannot be found apart from a robust conception of human nature, and what it means to live well as human beings. As such, we will examine what the dimensions of a distinctly Christian bioethics are, and what insights or solutions such an approach can offer us on many of these difficult bioethical issues.
PHI 1321.H1/FYS 1339 Introductory Topics in Philosophy: Faith and Reason
Todd Buras MH 205 MWF 11:15-12:05
What has Athens to do with Jerusalem? That's the way Tertullian famously put the question of the relationship between faith (Jerusalem) and reason (Athens). Does Jerusalem need Athens? Does Athens need Jerusalem? Or do both get on best in isolation from the other? Is any part of Christian faith reasonable? Or does following Jesus require intellectual suicide? Or does faith transcend reason without contradicting it? Is reason always shaped by faith of some sort? Would this mean reason is not a reliable guide to the truth? This course is a study of the relationship between faith and reason. We will examine the nature of both faith and reason, as well as the touchstones for understanding of their relationship.
PHI 1321.01 Introductory Topics in Philosophy: Faith, Reason, and Christian Belief
Francis Beckwith MH 108 MWF 10:10-11:00
The purpose of this course is to introduce the student to the study of philosophy by looking at the role philosophy plays in thinking about Christian beliefs. The issues we will cover will include all or some of the following: whether it is rational to believe in God, whether there is more to reality than the physical world, whether one needs evidence to believe in God, whether human beings are more than material things, what it means to say that one is justified in his or her beliefs, and whether one ought to be a skeptic.
PHI 1321.02 Introductory Topics in Philosophy: The Art of Asking Good Questions
Travis Coblentz MH 106 TR 9:30-10:45
From personal relationships to politics to philosophy, the way that we ask questions affects the kinds of answers we find. In this class, we will read a selection of important philosophers and attempt to understand not only the content of their thought, but the way in which philosophers have asked questions. The class will therefore offer an overview of the philosophical content of some major thinkers in the history of philosophy, as well as a critical interaction with their distinctive methods of asking questions through class discussion and argumentative essays.
PHI 1321.03 Introductory Topics in Philosophy: The Thought of C.S. Lewis.
Doug Henry MH 108 TR 11:00-12:15
C.S. Lewis was first trained as a philosopher, but after the war there were no positions, so he gained qualifications to teach English and the rest is history. However, he continued to write philosophical works and to write literature philosophically on such a variety of issues that his work can serve as a fitting introduction to philosophy. In this course we will examine issues in Ethics, Epistemology, and Metaphysics through Lewis's works of both fiction and non-fiction.
PHI 2301.01 Existentialism
Robert Baird MH 105 MWF 11:15-12:05
What does it mean to exist as particular human beings? As individuals in a given set of circumstances, what are we up against? What are our possibilities? These are the questions of the existentialists. The purpose of this existentialist analysis of the human situation is to make individuals aware of their condition and to distinguish between authentic and inauthentic responses to those conditions. The existentialists challenge each individual to accept responsibility for creating an authentic life in the midst of whatever circumstances one finds oneself. Of course this raises the further issue, what is meant by authentic and inauthentic? In the process of exploring these questions, themes such as freedom, suffering, courage, the limitations of reason, anxiety, dread, despair, the "encounter with nothingness", absurdity, ambiguity, alienation, death, God, and the conflict between individuality and mass society become prominent. We will think about these issues as we read selected writings from early existentialists such as Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Dostoevsky, as well as later existentialists such as Jaspers, Heidegger, Unamuno, Sartre, and Camus.
PHI 3301.01 Moral Philosophy
Darin Davis MH 105 TR 2:00-3:15
Though no one course can provide an exhaustive account of the development of moral philosophy from the philosophers of ancient Greece to the present, this course will explore a few of the major twists and turns in the history of ethics through the study of five pivotal figures: Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Mill, and Nietzsche.
PHI 3310.01 History of Philosophy: Classical
Robert Miner MH 105 TR 9:30-10:45
In this course, we will read and discuss seminal texts in ancient philosophy, considering each in relation to Socrates' question "How, then, should one live?" Authors include Plato, Aristotle, Epictetus, and Lucretius, representing each of the four major schools of antiquity. We will also permit ourselves a glance at Diogenes' Laertius Lives and Opinions of the Eminent Philosophers. Along the way, we will reflect on the advantages and disadvantages of school membership for philosophy.
PHI 3312.01 History of Modern European Philosophy
Todd Buras MH 105 MWF 1:25-2:15
This course is a survey of Western philosophy from the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century through the first half of the nineteenth century. The philosophers of this period were the first to address the wave of philosophical questions raised by the rise of modern science. Their questions-and in many cases their answers-continue to influence current debates in most major fields of philosophical inquiry. Our aim is to introduce the major thinkers and texts from this period. Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke, Berkeley, Hume, Kant and Reid figure most prominently.
PHI 4320.01 Philosophy of Religion
Stephen Evans MH 106 TR 11:00-12:15
This course will consider many of the major problem areas in the philosophy of religion. These include the following: the relation of religious faith to reason, the nature of God, the existence of God, problems posed for faith by science and the occurrence of evil, understanding religious experience, whether miracles occur and their importance for religion, the nature of a religious revelation, and how a claim to a revelation should be evaluated, and problems posed by the multiplicity of religions. Students will be exposed to alternative viewpoints on every issue and encouraged to think problems through in relation to their own convictions.
PHI 4321.01 Metaphysics
Alex Pruss MH 107 MWF 10:10-11:00 Metaphysics asks two different kinds of questions. One set of problems is more concrete, asking about how certain things really are, on a level that goes beyond what science studies. After a bit of a warm-up exercise in talking about the nature of time, we will examine two such problems: What makes me be me? (Would I survive if my brain were implanted in your skull? Do I have a soul that makes me be me?) What is free will and do we have it?
The second set of problems is more abstract, and we will look at two such problems. The first of these is the problem of properties. We might say that a leaf and a tractor are both green. What does that mean? Is there such a thing as greenness that the leaf and the tractor are both related to?
If so, where is this greenness? (In the leaf? in the tractor? in both? in the mind of God? nowhere?) We will also consider alternate solutions to the problem of what makes different things have the same property. The second problem is that of modality. As far as we know, there are no mountains of gold or square circles in the world. But there is a difference between these two. While there in fact are no mountains of gold, there could be. But square circles are simply impossible. What makes the one possible and the other impossible?
Finally, we will hopefully discuss causation, which connects up the abstract and the concrete problems.
PHI 4324.01 Philosophy in Literature: Philosophy in Tolkien
Scott Moore KOKER 135 TR 3:30-4:45
J.R.R. Tolkien is known most widely as the creator of the brilliant Lord of the Rings cycle and as an accomplished Oxford philologist. However, he was strongly influence by--and carefully marshaled--a large body of philosophical material. This class will explore, trace, and follow up on these philosophical influences.
PHI 4342.01 Contemporary American Philosophy
Stuart Rosenbaum TBB 307 MWF 11:15-12:05
American philosophy studies currents of thought that originate in Anglo-European traditions but that take unique forms in the American context. The intersection of the Anglo-European traditions with native traditions, and with specific religious concerns of the immigrants, produces a distinctive philosophical culture. Roger Williams, Jonathan Edwards, Thoreau and Emerson are some roots of this distinctive culture that culminates in the work of DuBois, Peirce, James, and Dewey, the classical pragmatists. We'll have a look at these people, along with some contemporary representatives of the American tradition, including Richard Rorty, Hilary Putnam, and John McDermott. Our goal will be to appreciate how the concerns of this American tradition intersect with those of the Anglo-European traditions and how they modify and address those concerns; we want to know how constructive engagement between the American tradition and those other traditions is possible. We'll read and discuss a number of primary sources and try to get a feel for how these authors and thinkers have come to express a continuous American intellectual culture.
PHI 4345.01 Intermediate Logic
Jonathan Kvanvig MH 108 TR 9:30-10:45
This course focuses on first-order logic, beginning with propositional logic and including predicate logic with identity. The primary elements to be mastered include translating from ordinary English into the formal language, becoming adept at constructing proofs in the formal system, and learning the semantics relevant to the language. In addition, the course will introduce some basic metalogic as well as introduce the student to some of the questions that are central to the philosophy of logic.
PHI/MH 4363.01 Philosophy and Medicine
James Marcum BSB C231 TR 12:30-1:45
Modern American medicine is undergoing several important crises, especially quality-of-care and professionalism crises. In response to these crises, I propose a notion of the virtuous physician and explore the notion in terms of its metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical dimensions.
PHI 5310.01 Value Theory: The Foundations of Moral Obligation
Stephen Evans MH 107 W 2:30-5:30
In this course students will read and critically evaluate various metaethical accounts of moral obligations, including divine command theory, natural law theory, constructivism, and various naturalistic theories, including error theories.
PHI 5311.01 Readings from the Philosophers: Spinoza & Leibniz
Alexander Pruss MH 107 M 2:30-5:30
Leibniz and Spinoza each produced a comprehensive and apparently coherent metaphysical system. Both systems develop in a seemingly inexorable way from the Aristotelian idea that everything that exists is a substance or a mode of a substance together with a commitment to the Principle of Sufficient Reason and Parmenides' Truthmaker Principle. Both systems have fascinating struggles with common-sense. These struggles are motivated by difficult, genuine and enduring philosophical problems. Leibniz, for instance, ends up denying genuine causal relations between distinct finite substances, and in exchange offers an original reduction of causal discourse. Spinoza, on the other hand, ends up committed to the idea that there is no such thing as false belief, and owes us an explanation of what is going on when his opponents apparently disagree with him. These struggles teach us two kinds of things: they highlight which assumptions threaten the problematic conclusions and they expand the philosophical imagination by offering daring solutions that may be adaptable to other pressing philosophical problems. For instance, it may be that Leibniz's account of causation and mechanism may offer a model for a compelling theistic account of the non-causal aspects of scientific explanations, while Spinoza's account of the impossibility of false beliefs may help with puzzles about the nature of modal truth.
The course will develop both the Leibnizian and the Spinozist systems from the inside, via primary texts supplemented by some secondary literature. The object will be to come to see how Leibniz and Spinoza saw the world, while at the same time seeing where they have gone wrong. There will be history, metaphysics and epistemology there. Time permitting; we may discuss Spinoza's account of the emotions, which has interesting connections with the moral psychology of Socrates and Roberts.
PHI 5319.01 Philosophical Writing
Jonathan Kvanvig MH 107 T 2:00-4:45
The topic of the course is in the philosophy of religion, with significant amounts of epistemology and metaphysics and ethics as they arise in the articles in the collection of essays for the course. This course has as its goal mastering the art of writing a critical essay in philosophy, an essential skill for success in graduate school in philosophy and for publication success after securing a position in philosophy. The course material is simply a convenient vehicle for achieving this goal. As such, this course is designed for first-year graduate students in philosophy.
PHI 5342 Seminar in Law, Politics, and Religion
Francis Beckwith CL 323 M 2:30-5:30 pm
The focus of this seminar will be on the contemporary philosophical discussion on the relationship between religion and liberal democracy. We will read monographs by John Rawls (Political Liberalism) and Christopher Eberle (Religious Convictions in Liberal Politics) as well anthologies edited by Robert P. George and Christopher Wolfe (Natural Law and Public Reason) and J. Caleb Canton (The Ethics of Citizenship: Liberal Democracy and Religious Convictions). In these latter two works we will look at essays by not only by Wolfe, Rawls, and Eberle, but by others including Stephen Macedo, John Finnis, Jeffrey Reiman, Paul J. Weithman, Robert Audi, Nicholas Wolterstorff, and Richard Rorty. In the last three weeks of class, students will present seminar papers on topics chosen consultation with the course professor.
PHI 5350.01 Workshop in Teaching Philosophy
Robert Kruschwitz MH 107 TR 12:30-1:45
We will begin by reflecting on the philosophy of teaching, emphasizing college and university teaching as a Christian vocation in diverse contexts-Christian and secular research universities and liberal arts colleges, regional universities, and community colleges. In the second section of the course we will evaluate specific instructional skills and practices from the perspective of that philosophy. In the final section we will exhibit these skills and practices in classroom teaching and various written assignments. We will critique and encourage one another's work. Members will participate in one of three "philosophy departments" to develop an undergraduate curriculum, sample course outlines, syllabi, and lesson plans. Each member will produce a teaching journal that includes the personal and group assignments for the semester.

Michigan Tea Party Alliance Web site Guiding Principle
We are tea parties from throughout the state of Michigan who believe we were given an awesome gift of a republic based on a set of inspired documents called the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. In these document are three basic principles we espouse. They are:
· Limited government
· Fiscal responsibility
· Free markets
These values derive from our shared heritage and a belief in a free person who exercises personal responsibility.
A) Limited Government
1) Strengthen state sovereignty
2) Make local and state governments stronger and more independent from national government
3) Stop legislation which hinders personal liability: property rights, moral legislation, free speech, etc. and most legislation which removes personal choice from citizens who have unalienable rights
4) Reform tax code (with focus on lowering tax burden for all citizens)
B) Fiscal Responsibility
1) Reduce the size of all government departments and bureaucracies at every level
2) Reduce and limit grants and foreign aid
3) Common sense approach to balancing the budget, no new debt and eventually paying off the debt
C) Free Markets
1) Limit regulation of any sector of business or industry
2) Reform subsidies and taxation
3) Eliminate government ownership in any private company or industry

At Val Marie's provincially recognized ecomuseum Prairie Wind & Silver Sage, the summer 2014 Artist Residency program continues, in partnership with Grasslands National Park, funded by the Saskatchewan Arts Board and SaskCulture. During the first part of September Swift Current's own Dave Cyca brings his Open Song projects to the southwest.
For anyone who has ever wanted to explore songwriting, or for those who have some experience but want to get more feedback, artist in residence Dave Cyca and PWSS are hosting a Songwriting Workshop on Sept. 7, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Seniors' Centre in Val Marie. This workshop will cover song structure, writing lyrics and creating a hook, and will offer many tips and ideas for getting started in songwriting. Bring your instrument if you have one. This workshop for teens to adults costs just $20 is and preregistration is required. Preregister by emailing email@example.com or phone 306-298-7782. Participants are limited to 10.
And there's an Open Mic at the Val Marie Hotel on Sept. 6 at 8 p.m. Come to read, perform a couple of songs, or just to cheer. The last open mic, hosted by Rhonda Gallant-Morari as part of her Open Poetry Residency earlier in August, was a big success.
Dave Cyca is the second artist in residence in Val Marie this summer, with a great range of song-focused projects to look forward to. Cyca is a small town Saskatchewan farm boy now living in Swift Current. He has shared his music as a solo performer and collaborated with many other musicians, where his bang-on vocal harmonies are always a pleasure. Cyca's album One of These Days, with its thoughtful lyrics and strong melodies, was nominated for the Saskatchewan Country Music Association Best Roots Album of the year award 2012.
Cyca also performs with the band Creek City and he's bringing them along to Val Marie for a concert, one evening only. Cyca and the guys performed at the Val Marie Elevator Committee's very successful Harvest Supper fundraiser last November, and once again will show off their balanced and easy blend of vocal harmonies, expressive guitar work and thoughtful lyrics - Cat Stevens meets Blue Rodeo meets James Taylor. Creek City will be at the Val Marie Hotel on August 29 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 at the door.
There will also be campground sing-a-longs and other song events throughout Dave Cyca's artist residency. More information is available at www.pwss.org

Two weeks after celebrity chef Paula Deen was dropped by the Food Network, all of her major sponsors have cut ties with her.
Deen's troubles came after she admitted in a legal deposition to using the "n-word." That deposition came in a lawsuit against her brother, Bubba Heirs. Lisa Jackson, former manager of Uncle Bubba's Oyster House, alleged racial discrimination and sexual harassment in the suit.
Over the past two weeks, WTOC has spoken with three people who worked at Uncle Bubba's while Jackson managed the restaurant. One of them is black. Two are white. All three worked there for more than two years. They had very different opinions about whether the working environment was hostile or racist. So far, only one of those people has been willing to go on camera. …Read More.

Best Color Illusion I've Seen
From Bad Astronomy. It takes no work to see the illusion, but a lot of effort to see past it.
The "blue" and "green" swirls are exactly the same color. Don't believe me? Verify it for yourself.
The Real Deal
Microsoft just announced a 3D camera / microphone array for XBox that will allow multiple players to play games with no hand-held devices whatsoever. I got a demo of an earlier prototype.
You will want.
Update: There's a video on XBox.com that shows some of what they intend to deliver, with a disclaimer at the bottom. Also, check out Milo. Most impressive.

Former Gorguts Guitarist Dies
This is really lame. Obscura is one of the best, most unique and most technically challening death metal albums ever made.
omg rip
Shit, this guy was a huge factor in why Gorguts became as good as they are.
Two musicians from two of my favorite bands I find are dead over the course of one weekend. It really gets you down.
RIP and I'm sure nearly everyone's thoughts are with his family and friends, mine certainly are.
Fuck thats terrible, rip dude
tech rip
Digging: Robert Hood - Wire To Wire
Fuck, RIP
Digging: Rishloo - Feathergun
RIP so hard goddamn
Fuck this dying thing
What's with all the awesome musicians dying lately? Shit man. RIP
God Damn RIP
sad, i liked obscura.
Terrible news, RIP.
Digging: Brannthorde - Auf Teufel Komm Raus
Bad time to be in extreme metal bands...
Damn that sucks.
Listening to Obscura now. This guy played with the genre's DNA like a kitten with a ball of yarn. Very creative and influential. RIP.
Sad day. RIP.
Horrid news, RIP.
Digging: Shin Terai - Unision
Awful. RIP
There will never be another Obscura or Purulence. FML
^ props for mentioning Purulence
Jammed Obscura in his honor tonight. m/
This also makes me more likely to go see Gorguts at the end of June, even though Steeve hasn't been involved with them for a long time. He was supposed to have gotten Lemay to reform the band, so it seems I owe him for the chance to see them.
Really bummed right now. Rip. time to break out the wisky.
Everyone hacked on me on Death's Facebook page for saying I might not buy a ticket because Gorguts wasn't opening the Atlanta date. Looks like they deleted all my comments, though. What a sense of entitlement.
Can we stay on task here
Well, it doesn't exactly come across as supportive of Death to say that you might not come depending on the opening band, which is probably not something they're going to change, lol.
Probably wiser not to air such sentiments, considering, if I recall correctly, Eric threw a huge fit on the FB page over some troll e-mail he received not too long ago.
I agree with Vesper. What were yOu thinking
Maybe you're right, but it's not Death. I don't go on Queen forums and harass everyone who doesn't want to buy a ticket to see them with Paul Rodgers.
If only the world was smart enough to realize that.
Eh, that's kind of different, since that was a collaborative main act, not split opening act duties, and has more to do with objecting to Paul Rodgers, despite, I assume, loving and wanting to see Queen (even though no amount of not-wanting-to-see-Rodgers is going to bring Freddie Mercury back).
Implying that you're not really interested in seeing Death because it's not really Death without Chuck on Death's FB page probably was somewhat insensitive, considering this is supposed to be a charity tour in memory of Chuck, knamean?
This is awful. R.I.P. amazing musician.
Such a great guitarist. R.I.P.
oh no whatever shall we do
Digging: Radiohead - Kid A
R.I.P. Would play some Obscura right now if my earphones weren't broken.
^ all good i'm picking up your slack
"Fuck this dying thing"
hahahah brilliant -- your precious death metal wouldn't exist then
Anything can be construed as insensitive when every other post on that page is plebeians going, "RIP CHUCK!!" I kind of think it's immature and arrogant to look at anything I said as disrespectful. Death's catalogue obviously rules, but that lineup with Obscura's vocalist is (to borrow from the great David Lee Roth) like a hot chick with bad teeth.
Yeah, so just don't go. It would be like going on a date with said hot chick with bad teeth, and being like, "Hey, if you bring that hot friend of yours over there with the full set of nice teeth, then we can have a threesome, but if it's you, your fucked up grill missing the two front teeth that had Chuck Schuldiner etched into them, and Kelly Schaefer sucking my dick - no deal."
They're not going to change the opening act and Death will never be Death without Chuck, so I don't really see the point of saying something like you would go if they did switch out Atheist for Gorguts - you're pretty much just going on the page to say you're not going.
But I might go -- if the show still happens. The point was that they were trying to get people to buy tickets over the
weekend to justify the additional tour dates. I jestingly said that I'd buy a ticket for sure if they'd add Gorguts to the
Atlanta date. And then everyone just got offended that I thought seeing Cynic play Death songs isn't enough to justify me
buying a ticket immediately.
tell them to foad
would u go see gorguts if the vocalist was chris barnes and the guitar players were from august burns red
ov coarse
lol josh
me 2
RIP shred on

For information on our charitable efforts, click here to read about Project Contagious. Ten Things is where you'll find the Contagious Philosophy, including information about our mantra, fun for all.
At Contagious Events, we reject the idea that weddings (or any event, really) should be planned a certain way. No two people are the same, why should all weddings be so similar?
Learn More
We've saved a little piece of the internet just for our clients. We call it the client area, and it keeps all your important documents, invoices and receipts in one place, accessible 24/7.
The events we plan are on our minds 24/7 – It just wouldn't be feasible to charge on an hourly basis – that's why we've developed what we call "maximum investment."
We love our clients, and they love us! We'll stop at nothing to make sure the planning experience is stress- and worry-free. As a client, all you have to do is relax – we've got this!
Within our network, we have some of the most creative wedding professionals you've ever come across. It'll be hard to throw them off, but we welcome the effort!
Some planners limit the amount of contact they have with their clients. That's the kind of crazy we don't like. We tell our clients to reach out whenever they want. Any time.
While Contagious Events plans incredible events for all types of clients, the company specializes in planning gay (same sex) and non-traditional weddings. Additionally, Contagious Events is committed to the marriage equality movement, is a proud member of the Provincetown Business Guild, and has a consistent history of supporting local talent and charities pertinent to the LGBTQ community - Contagious Events has supported drag shows, networking nights at gay-friendly bars, and the company donates a portion of its income to a charity selected by its social network community.

This isn't the prettiest I've ever looked but it's for a good cause.
In your blender mix 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree, 1 cup of milk, 1/4 tsp each cinnamon, nutmeg and ground ginger. Blend. Pour into a microwave safe dish and heat it up. Or heat on the stove if you prefer.
Mix milk and pumpkin with coffee and drink up.
I added some maple syrup but I found it too sweet, so I recommend tasting before sweetening.
This recipe will make 1 BIG coffee or 2 coffee mug sized ones. This recipe doubles well and will keep in the fridge for 3 days.
To read more about homemade pumpkin spice latte's visit last year's comparison post.
And what else to do with all that pumpkin? Well, I'll tell you.
Share any pumpkin recipes you have.
I have a guest post up at Taming Insanity today, you should read it…uhm…I mean watch it. I am trusting one of you to step up and tell me when the time comes for me to stop this vlogging business. Please.

Book Three in Lisa Unger's Lydia Strong series Acclaimed artist Julian Ross has just been found standing over her husband's bloody corpse in their New York City apartment. Julian claims that she slept peacefully beside him while he was violently stabbed in their bed. But police are skeptical, especially since Julian's first husband was killed and mutilated in exactly the same way. Julian turns to the tough-as-nails crime writer Lydia Strong, who plunges into the case with her signature grit and the help of her partner, P.I. Jeffrey Mark. Meanwhile, Lydia learns that Jed McIntyre, the serial killer who murdered her mother, is on the loose in New York. McIntyre is out for Lydia's blood, and his presence forces her to confront the evils of her past while solving her toughest murder case yet.
Lisa Unger is an award-winning New York Times and international bestselling author. Her novels have sold over one million copies in the U.S. and have been translated into 26 different languages.

In an apparent nod to Prime Minister Netanyahu's wishes, Israel's Knesset voted yesterday to turn down a proposal to investigate left-wing non-governmental organizations. But this decision won't completely defuse the controversy about a previous measure passed by the body that allowed citizens to sue individuals or groups calling for boycotts of Israel or any region of the country. Netanyahu's decision to back off on the latest of these measures proposed by his Yisrael Beitenu coalition partners shows he is sensitive to the way the issue plays abroad.
As I wrote previously, these efforts to clamp down on foreign-funded groups seeking to undermine Israel from within are counter-productive. These bills turn pro-boycott groups into martyrs rather than isolating them. But as Americans continue to huff and puff about what they wrongly term anti-democratic legislation, it needs to be reiterated–this issue looks a little different from an Israeli perspective. Moreover, those Americans who have heightened Israel's feelings of isolation are in no position to complain about these measures.
First, it should be stipulated those who advocate boycotts of the country are not quite the peaceful protesters many Americans believe they are. Efforts to boycott Israel are nothing less than economic warfare on the Jewish state. Those who single out democratic Israel for treatment they would not think of imposing on other countries, including those with genuinely horrible human rights records, are anti-Semites–pure and simple. Israelis are also right to resent the activities of foreign-financed NGOs that operate freely inside their country while doing everything to support Palestinian groups that seek to undermine Jewish security and Zionism.
What Americans also don't understand is that Israelis, like the citizens of many other democratic countries around the globe, don't have the same absolutist attitude toward free speech that we have in this country. Our First Amendment protections are the glory of American democracy, and Israelis and others who tend to support government restrictions on speech would do well to follow in our path.
There is also a long tradition in Israel of attempts to restrict or minimize dissent, but contrary to the leftist critique of the Netanyahu government alleging it wants to overturn democracy, it stems from the country's left-wing past, not the legacy of the right. Two of Israel's most heroic leaders, David Ben-Gurion and Yitzhak Rabin, countenanced all forms of measures that hampered dissent against their governments' policies. Part of this stemmed from the point of view of a nation at war, in which military censorship persists to this day. But it was also about intolerance for political opponents. For example, when anti-Oslo demonstrators held peaceful though disruptive sit-ins on highways, Rabin had them charged with "sedition" rather than with merely disturbing the peace, as they would have been in the United States.
To cite this example is not to defend the anti-boycott law, but it does put it in an Israeli context in which absolute freedom of speech is not something that either the left or right has ever really supported. The popularity of these measures stems not just from resentment of anti-Zionists but of a general feeling of isolation exacerbated by President Obama's frequent sniping and picking of fights with Israel's government.
Those who seek to heighten feelings of abandonment on the part of the vast majority of Israelis aren't helping the country. Groups such as Americans for Peace Now who have used this issue as a pretext to renew its vicious effort to delegitimize Jews who live in the settlements are doing nothing for the cause of Israeli democracy or peace. Though these bills are mistakes, it is Israel's existence and not its democratic culture that is currently under attack.

Weekly Reflection
/ Who We Are / Leadership Team
Clockwise from left: Sr. Marie Cigrand, Sr. Mary Lechtenberg,
Sr. Kathy Knipper and
Sr. Cathy (Kate) Katoski
Leadership of the Sisters of St. Francis of Dubuque is a ministry of service not only to the congregation but to the church and world. It is a work that is shared among the members with those in leadership serving a term of six years. At the end of this time, as St. Francis says, the community ministers lay down the role as easily as one lays down a towel after washing feet. Four sisters work together in this service. They support the members in their mission and common life, and tend the corporate good of the Congregation.
Currently Sr. Cathy (Kate) Katoski serves as President and Sisters Kathy Knipper, Marie Cigrand, and Mary Lechtenberg serve as Vice Presidents.
Sister Cathy (Kate) Katoski
has served as the Sisters of St. Francis Director of Development since 1996 and Treasurer for the congregation since 2010. Her previous ministries include administrative roles with Briar Cliff University, Sioux City, Iowa; Co-Director of RENEW for the Archdiocese of Dubuque; staff member for the National Pastoral Life Center in New York; and vice president for the Sisters of St. Francis. A graduate of Briar Cliff University, she has a master's degree in theological studies from Catholic Theological Union, Chicago, and a doctor of ministry degree from the University of St. Mary of the Lake, Mundelein, Ill.
Sister Kathy Knipper
served as associate professor of education at Briar Cliff University from 2000-2014. Previously she served as the Director of Curriculum for the Diocese of Sioux City and taught in elementary schools in Holy Cross, Iowa; Waterloo, Iowa; and Dubuque. Sister Kathy graduated from Clarke University, Dubuque, and has a master's degree from the University of St. Thomas, St. Paul, Minn., and a doctoral degree from the University of South Dakota, Vermillion.
Sister Marie Cigrand
served as the Sisters of St. Francis Congregational Secretary from 2002-2014. Sister Marie taught in elementary schools in Worthington, Iowa; Granville, Iowa; Dyersville, Iowa, and Dubuque (St. Anthony's). She has also served as a media specialist in Dubuque and Janesville, Wis. (St. John Vianney). She graduated from Mount Mercy College, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and has a master's degree from Clarke University in computers in education.
Sister Mary Lechtenberg
graduated from Briar Cliff University and has a master's degree in religious education from Boston College. Sister Mary taught in schools in Cascade and Chicago and has also worked for the RENEW office in the Sioux City Diocese. She previously served as Director of Religious Education in Chicago, Director of Evangelization for the Des Moines Diocese, Pastoral Associate at St Ludmila Parish, Cedar Rapids and as vocation minister for the Sisters of St. Francis.

THE human genome has been declared a potential weapon of war. In Geneva last week, 80 member countries of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention added "molecular biology" and "any application resulting from genome studies" to the list of technologies, such as genetic engineering, that could possibly be employed as weapons. Scientists are worried that aggressors might develop a disease or poison to which only an enemy is genetically susceptible.
But the meeting failed to agree a deadline to begin monitoring breaches of the convention, because of opposition from a group of nations including Russia and India.

OverviewRyu wielding the Dragon Sword.The Dragon Sword is a sword carved out of a dragons fang and was used by the ancient warriors of the Dragon Lineage to slay the Black Dragon. It has been passed down from generation to generation in the Hayabusa Ninja Clan and in the events on the Ninja Gaiden games this sword is in the possession of Ryu Hayabusa of the Hayabusa Ninja Clan.Ninja Gaiden BlackIn Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox (as well as remakes Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden Sigma) the Dragon Sword is the starting primary weapon for the player(Ryu Hayabusa). It is the most well rounded weapon in the game having no serious weaknesses and many players preffered to play through the game using the Dragon Sword almost exclusively. The Dragon Sword can be upgraded at Muramassa's Shop to increase the amount of damage it does to foes and unlock new moves. Later in the game the player receives the Dragon's Eye, a jewel carved out of a dragon's eye. After obtaining the Dragon's Eye, the Dragon Sword becomes even more powerful, doing more damage and unlocking new moves.Other GamesIn Ninja Gaiden II for the Xbox 360 the Dragon's Sword serves mainly the same purpose as it did in the first game. It is once again the starting primary weapon and it is also once again the preffered weapon of most players for most sittuation. In Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword, a spin-off created exclusively for the Nintendo DS, the Dragon sword is not only the starting and primary weapon of that game, but also that game's only primary weapon.

2013 Husqvarna 650 Terra
View Single Post
TR650 Terra
Joined: Jan 2012
Location: Perth, West Australia
Oddometer: 166
We had a holiday long weekend so I took the Terra into the southwest of my state. I'm not sure how far it was but I would guess around 2k km's all told.
After a comfortable few hours on the highway I reached the south west coast I used to regularly visit during my youth. The surf breaks around this region are some of the best coastal breaks in the country. I spent the afternoon visiting surf breaks. Unfortunately it was pancake flat.
I then met up with some mates & we headed further east down the coast. Plenty of dirt roads in between us and our destination with some fantastic scenery too. Winding forest roads - awesome!
I was extremely cautious with the Terra for the 1st day of dirt roads. It's new. I love it. I didn't want to kill it. Plus I was only carrying a basic supply of tools. Wherever the Terra felt a bit loose, it was the same spots as the guys on the KTM's felt it too. Cool - it's not just the Terra then.
The next day & more dirt roads and perhaps a better feel for the bike. More speed! This bike just eats the miles. I didn't expect to love it on the dirt as much as I do.
Two more days of blacktop riding with other friends and I was home again. Tired for sure but with one big smile on my face. Mates, bikes, whiskey & conversation
I totally love this bike. Comfort on the blacktop & comfort on the pea gravel. Next is to put some knobblies on it and some crash bars and take it deeper into the bush.

Originally written on Hoop Fantasies Fantasy Basketball Blog | Last updated 2/5/13
Jerryd Bayless came off the bench Wednesday, but lit up the Phoenix Suns for 29 points in the loss. Bayless played 29 minutes and made the most of them, knocking down three 3-pointers, grabbing two boards, dishing two assists and snagging a steal. I've been on the Bayless bandwagon since the Grizzlies traded away Josh Selby and Wayne Ellington. The minutes are there for the young guard, and he's doing damage. He's averaging 16 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.2 steals in his last five games. Bayless owned in 24 percent of leagues, and I can see him holding onto his value the rest of the season. Tayshaun Prince slid into the starting lineup for a solid line: 11 points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals in 37 minutes. He's owned in 40 percent of leagues, and a solid yet unspectacular play. Photo: Grizzlies' Facebook.

|Effective: 8/15/1973
Revised: 11/1/2006
SSM 701–02: Eligibility for Accommodations—Required Disability Documentation
To specify disability documentation requirements that will qualify ASU students for reasonable and appropriate accommodations through the Disability Resource Center
The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 United States Code §§ 701–796
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), 42 United States Code § 12101 et seq.
Disability Resource Center
Students who believe they have a current and essential need for disability accommodations are responsible for requesting accommodations and providing qualifying documentation to the Disability Resource Center (DRC). The DRC will make every effort to provide reasonable accommodations for qualified students with disabilities.
DRC applicants must be admitted or enrolled ASU students, and they must provide the DRC with qualifying disability documentation verifying the nature and extent of the disability prior to receiving any accommodations. DRC disability access consultants and disability specialists are responsible for evaluating disability documentation and determining accommodation eligibility.
All documentation must be provided to the DRC on professional letterhead and contain the dates of assessment, signatures, titles, and license/certification numbers of the diagnosing professionals. Diagnoses of disabilities that do not contain the required information may not be used for determining eligibility for academic accommodations. The DRC reserves the right to request reassessment when questions arise regarding previous assessment or previous service provision.
Physical Disabilities—Required Documentation
The DRC will accept current diagnoses of physical disabilities that are based on appropriate diagnostic evaluations administered by trained and qualified (i.e., certified and/or licensed) professionals (e.g., medical doctors, ophthalmologists, psychologists, neuropsychologists, audiologists). Disability diagnosis categories include:
The diagnostic report must include:
Specific Learning Disabilities—Required Documentation
The DRC will accept diagnoses of specific learning disabilities that are based on comprehensive, age-appropriate psychoeducational evaluations that are no more than three years old. The assessment must be administered by a trained and qualified (i.e., certified and/or licensed) professional (e.g., psychologist, school psychologist, neuropsychologist, educational diagnostician) who has had direct experience with adolescents and adults with learning disabilities.
An appropriate psychoeducational evaluation must include comprehensive measures in each of the following areas:
|Screening tools such as the Wide Range Achievement Test–III (WRAT–III) are not considered comprehensive measures of achievement and must be accompanied by a comprehensive measure such as one of those listed above. All instruments selected to measure these areas must be age appropriate.
Diagnostic Report
The diagnostic report must include the following information:
Diagnoses of specific learning disabilities that do not contain psychoeducational measures may not be used for determining eligibility for academic accommodations. For example, school plans such as Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) or 504 Plans are not adequate documentation; however, they can be included with the required evaluation report. The DRC reserves the right to request reassessment when questions regarding previous assessment or previous service provision arise.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)—Required Documentation
The DRC will accept current (no more than three years old) diagnoses of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) that are based on age-appropriate (upon entrance to ASU) diagnostic evaluations administered by trained and qualified (i.e., certified or licensed) professionals (e.g., psychiatrists, psychologists, or neuropsychologists).
|Reports that are not accompanied by a comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation will need to be updated annually.
The diagnostic report must include:
Psychiatric Disabilities—Required Documentation
The DRC will accept current (no more than one year old) diagnoses of psychiatric disabilities that are based on comprehensive and appropriate diagnostic evaluations completed by trained and qualified (i.e., licensed or certified) professionals (e.g., psychologists, psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, school psychologists, certified professional counselors, or licensed social workers).
The diagnostic report must include the following:
|Due to the changing nature of psychiatric disabilities, an updated narrative specifying diagnosis, medication, and current functional limitations is required annually.
The DRC will maintain the confidentiality of these diagnostic reports to the extent permitted by law and will not release any documentation without a student's informed written consent, except as required by law or as deemed necessary to prevent harm to the student or others.
Reasonable accommodation is required for students with known disabilities. ASU is not required to provide "best" or "most desired" accommodations but rather a reasonable accommodation sufficient to meet accessibility needs. Unit heads or higher-level administrative staff must prepare a written explanation and consult with the ADA coordinator before denying a student's request for accommodation.
For more information about eligibility for services and accommodations of the Disability Resource Center and the procedure for accessing them, see SSM 701–01, "Disability Resource Center—General Policy."

New England Patriots Super Bowl Treats
- Login to add to Favorites
- 0 Comments
When we stumbled upon a blog post for New England Patriots Pops over at Mega•Crafty, we knew we'd found a Super Bowl treat our readers would love. A Pat's fan after our own hearts, Meg came up with this oh-so-sweet — not to mention adorable — way to support the home team, and she kindly shared her instructions on how to make them with us. Thanks, Meg!
Instructions to Make Patriots Pops
To make these pops, I used pre-packaged cereal treats.
They were the perfect shape and size. And buying them rather than making a batch myself allowed me to get right to the decorating. (But you could make a batch and cut them into rectangles. Or better yet, use a shirt cookie cutter if you have one!)
After unwrapping all my cereal bars, I cut one bar into the pieces that I used to make the sleeves. One bar makes enough sleeves for four jerseys.
For the main body of each shirt, I used a whole treat and cut a "V" shape out of the top for the neck. Then I attached the arms to each side. It's amazing how these cereal treats will stick together and be molded like clay. I used the parts that I cut out of the neck to fill gaps and areas that didn't stick.
Then I stuck in the lollipop sticks. Dipping them into a little melted white chocolate candy melts helps them hold better.
After all the sticks were in the little shirts, I stuck them into the freezer for a few minutes to harden them up a bit. While they were chilling, I got ready to melt and dye a bag of blue chocolate candy melts. I carefully melted the chips and added enough dye to get a dark blue that was more like the Patriots color than the original baby blue color of the candy melts. It took a LOT of blue dye, a pretty good amount of black and a tiny bit of violet to get this color. Really be careful with the violet — you don't want to end up with Vikings purple instead of Patriots blue!
I dipped my pops into the dark blue and set them upright in a stand to dry. One thing to note here: the chocolate came out very thick and sort of gloppy. I'm not sure if that's because I was dipping cereal treats, or if that just happened to be the texture of the candy melts. It would have been easier if the chocolate was a bit thinner, but I smoothed it with a knife and most of them turned out fine. Luckily the imperfections also worked for these, it made the shirts look more like fabric with wrinkles and movement instead of a plastic-like brick.

Havok Vision Engine Physics Demoed on Android Tablet with ARM Mali GPU

Now this is pretty cool, ARM has posted a video to YouTube from GDC 2012 showing the Havok Physics Vision Engine running on an ARM Mali GPU based Android tablet with the new Havok mobile tech demo and some cool Havok physics integration. In the video Peter Wos, a Software Engineer for Havok goes over how the Vison Engine can easily port over to the ARM platform and then shows off a nice demo with Physics running on an ARM Mali GPU based Android tablet. We have been seeing some cool stuff from NVIDIA with PhysX running on the Tegra platform, now it is good to see that Havok Physics will also be an option for mobile platforms. Just imagine if you needed to have a Tegra based tablet or phone to take have all the physics features in a game like we are unfortunately seeing today with PC gaming.
Check out the video below and the official Havok Mobile website for more info on Havok Physics.
