Blog – Your Comments and Suggestions Welcome!
394 Responses to "Blog – Your Comments and Suggestions Welcome!"
I have just finished reading your updated guide of radio stations that carry Imagination Theater and have some observations.
The information regarding KFMB in San Diego is incorrect. Imagination Theater is not heard from 8-10 pm on Sunday nights but Sunday nights at 10:00 pm. I suspect the error was a typo.
On a more serious note, I am concerned about the declining number of stations that are carrying Imagination Theater. I first discovered your wonderful program over ten years ago when I was marooned in my car on a Sunday night and dancing about the radio dial trying to find something worthwhile. Boy, did I succeed. I found Imagination Theater and have been an avid fan ever since. I am saddened to think that many people cannot have a similar experience because IT is not available in their area.
I have some suggestions for people who read this forum.
A)If, like me, you are fortunate to be in range of a station that carries IT, send that station an occasional email expressing your appreciation of the program.
B)If you are not in range of a station that carries IT, send an email to a station that you listen to and tell the management that, good as their station is, it would be even better with Imagination Theater on the schedule.
Imagination Theater is one of the best programs on radio and deserves wider circulation. If there is anything we can do as listeners please let us know.
not sa big thing but lioke tonights Powder River 2nd of 2 part show it would be nice to have the shows run one after another-sometimes I have trouble recalling what has happened.Still love the program and listen on the internet every saturday night as my little treat.
Love Powder River and have listened for years. I was disappointed in the most recent show (twisted badge pt 1) to hear Britt use the word "bitch". I have always thought of this as a family friendly show, but now am not sure. Please consider that many listeners do not use this type of language in their homes and do not want to hear their "hero" use words like these either. Thanks.
Hi, I agree with Justin's comments above. I really enjoy Powder River, and was really excited to hear the new episodes. However, my wife and I were really surprised at the language in the first episode, and I certainly hope it doesn't continue in the rest of the shows. I have two children, one of which is 4 years old, and I certainly don't want him to hear that either.
How long until we get to hear episode 2 & 3 of Powder River's "The Twisted Badge"? We are so happy that you are broadcasting them! We hope you continue broadcasting the rest of season five. The CD's are not available until Dec. 2012. Thanks!
I have never considered Powder River to be a family show – but more as an adult western. Past episodes have seen people getting blown up in a bank, shot and killed unarmed at point blank range, trampled to death in a buffalo stampede, and execution by hanging in the episode that is being discussed here – none of which can be considered "family fare." In 90 episodes we used the tern "Son of Bitch" once – in TWISTED BADGE. The phrase was used well within the context of the scene, and was not gratuitous. I am sorry if it offended you, and I respect your opinions. – Jerry Robbins, Powder River.
The recent passing of Dick Beals has caused me to reflect on an IT program from several years back. I believe that Mr. Beals had a role in a Movies for Your Mind episode. The story was a western and Dick Beals gave a powerful performance that was much different from the cartoon voices he did for TV.
Have I confused Mr. Beals with another actor? If not, I hope you will repeat this episode soon.
Thanks for your terrific program.
Dick and I did a Western that Jim had written called the "Wilmont Cache." He played a you boy whose father had been an outlaw and taken the gangs loot years before. Dick was recovering from a bad cold when we recorded it so his voice wasn't quite his own at the time, with a sore throat and all but he was a total pro and pulled it off. We worked on the same mic but since he was so much shorter them me I had to do the show sitting down so we'd be the same height.
Hi Larry, Jim, Jay and all;
I just downloaded chapter 12 of the "War" shows. However, I don't seem to find chapter 11 of the series. Could you tell me if it is available and the name?
Thanks much for all the great shows!
Cannot understand what Nile reads that is written in pencil on the back of the business card that Lt. Butterfield delivers to his hotel room. It sounds like bigyokletsup. Can someone translate?
Seems clear now. Don't know why I couldn't hear that before. Sheesh !
I was wondering about a comment that Jim made during the opening tease of the last two Harry Nile shows. "Never been aired on Imagination Theater" Why were not aired then? Was it in respect? I would have thought that would have in 'memory of'.
Just wondered.
I guessed as much. I do remember the the change of the guard. Over the years I have noticed the changes as Herry Nile shoes have matured. The changes of sound scape, music, edit timing, scripting and character development. All to the improvement of the Adventures of Harry Nile.
I enjoy both the new as well as the vintage Harry Nile shows. I, for the life of me, don't know or would care to pick, which I like best.
I have family in Tennessee and on a recent visit to that state I discovered that you need to update your listing on WGNS in Murfressboro. WGNS carries IT at 10:00 PM on Sunday nights. The station has recently added two translators: FM 101.9 and FM 100.5.
On earlier trips to Manchester, Tennessee I couldn't pick up the AM station for WGNS. But, on my last trip, I did listen on one of the FM translators. WGNS now has a wider reach in middle Tennessee and so does Imagination Theater.
Are the flash drives with harry nile and such ever coming back. I missed my chances 2-3 years ago when they were still available.
Christmas is on they way and these would make great gifts.
Concerning the history of Harry Nile, I noticed that some episodes are not included in the set. Are the other episodes planned for release in the future?
Just got a chance to listen to the new Kincaid the Strange Seeker episode "The Beginning of the Beginning".
Interesting ending, I have to admit; I wonder what's going to happen to Kincaid and company now? I can only imagine what kind of things they'll uncover at Meskatonic University.
If the series continues that is…
Good to hear about Kincaid not being done.
Harry Nile and Kincaid are probably my two favorite Imagination Theater series, with Kincaid 1 and Harry Nile 1A.
I say that because i like both series a lot, but I can't really decide which one is number 1 in my book, and which is number 2.
I am very much fascinated and hooked on "The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" especially when John Patrick Lowrie is the actor for Sherlock Holmes. Thank you so much for giving quality audio dramas and keeping Sherlock Holmes alive!
Good Grief!
I am sending my karma of good health to everyone on staff that has injuries and sickness. Get Well Very Soon! Your listeners need to have their fix of JFP productions. Thank you for all the good shows in the can and the new ones coming down the pike.
Trying to locate show heard on Sirius. Old man and lady on bus to dance ballroom. Missed all info. Please send if u can. Muchas gracias
Larry–I was shocked to hear of all the health problems the three of you have had to deal with this past year. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that the taping of "The Second Stain" last Monday night went well. I sincerely wish that there were some way I could be of assistance to the three of you, other than simply buying my share of the Sherlock Holmes recordings (I'll have to wait for my disability appeal to be approved to do that–the hearing is coming up in a couple of weeks!), even on a volunteer basis. If you can come with something along that line, please let me know! Meantime, take care and God bless!!
I listen every wknd, I was very upset when you killed off Sandy on powder river, i was happy that she and Britt were finally gonna get together, I dont like this new lady in town.
Larry–I'm glad the most recent taping went so well. I hope you're able to put the final product together without any difficulty. Speaking of products, I was wondering if you've considered putting out a "boxed set," at least in CD format, of the "Classic Adventures of Sherlock Holmes," once you have them all recorded. With Internet service providers putting caps on how much you can download at one time without a penalty, and since flash drives have not yet gotten to the point where they'd be profitable for this purpose, a CD (or perhaps DVD) boxed set seems to be the most economically feasible answer for those of us who might want to get all the "Classic" episodes in one fell swoop. Since DVDs can hold several times as much information as regular audio CDs (or even MP3 CDs, for that matter), you might want to consider this option. (Perhaps an online survey or poll of some kind could give you further guidance on this point.) If nothing else, perhaps you could do it on an "on-demand" basis, as some film studios are doing in releasing some of their older films on DVD. Anyhow, I hope you and Mr. French are both progressing in your recoveries. Take care and God bless!
Hi Larry
Hope all is well. This is the second week that Jim has not been on IT.
Just a little concerned as you seemed to reference some health issues.
I had talked to you and Jim shortly before Christmas when I ordered my CD.
Please take care.
Pat D.
Hope things are getting better.
Just to let you know Lee gave a big tip of the hat to IT on his blog this week. He wanted to let folks know about the high quality of the productions and just how great all the actors are. It is
leeduigon.com The title of the piece is "Check out Imagination Theater"
Just read the blog myself, so sorry to hear that 2012 ended so badly! Conversely, glad to hear things are improving…Sending good thoughts and prayers for you all!
It was great to hear Jim's voice again on the episode broadcast on the 14th! I've been a very quiet fan for many a year, and I'm poking my head up to thank you all and wish you all good health and continued success!
When will the latest Harry Nile episodes be available in ITunes.
Hi Larry
Hope you can help me with this one.
Awhile back you had a story where Harry Nile went to England during the war. Many of your characters were involved, including Sherlock Holmes although he was never mentioned by name.
This was a special episode and we would like to know the name and if it is available.

Overall this is a cute zippered bag to keep in a tote. It is lined, which is a plus, put the leather has the feel of pleather. Purchased in the close out sales and combo of points or I would have returned it. I hope other Rosanna items are of better quality.2
I have a giant sized purse that doubles as a diaper bag, and this is the perfect pouch to toss my wallet, phone, keys, etc in to keep separate from the bottomless pit that is the diaper bag. It's a larger pouch than I was expecting, which is good, it can actually hold everything I need for a quick errand or two. I love the Red Ikat design, it feels classic yet trendy at the same time.5

At this Park
19 acre Park managed by: San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department
Bernal Heights Park provides visitors with a breathtaking 360-degree panorama and clear views of San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, downtown, San Bruno Mountain, and the hills of the East Bay. These windswept slopes are still sunny when Twin Peaks is shrouded in afternoon fog. Red-tailed hawks soar overhead, the breeze sends waves undulating through the native grassland community, and visitors hike around the hill's peaceful summit to escape from the complexities of urban life. In spring, the hill is transformed into a palette of brilliant colors as a multitude of native wildflowers bloom, including footsteps of spring, sun cup, blue-eyed grass, checkerbloom, and shooting star. As one of the few remaining natural refuges in San Francisco, Bernal Hill is a special place for the city's human and wildlife inhabitants.
A paved limited-access road and a network of well-defined dirt trails wind around the hill's flanks and provide access to the summit.Official Park Page

WOMEN organisations have hailed the draft Constitution for affording them an opportunity to have equal representation with their male counterparts in all Government institutions on a 50-50 percent basis.
Women's Parliamentary Caucus chairperson Cde Beatrice Nyamupinga said they were happy with the draft's provisions.
"We are very happy with the draft constitution. As women of Zimbabwe we have achieved a lot," she said.
"We wouldn't have done better than we have done now considering the current constitution did not consider women at all.
"In this draft I think we have achieved 90-95 percent. We couldn't have achieved 100 percent at once but can now proceed with the agenda in Parliament."
The Zanu-PF Goromonzi West legislator said the proportional representation would result in more female legislators, guaranteeing gender equality.

It's Bicycling Season!
Now that it is practically the end of April, it's finally warm enough to get outside. Dad installed this spiffy new kid seat on the back of his bike.
I've taken it for a few spins. It is a pretty sweet ride.
This past weekend, Dad and Grandma took me for a tour of the Twin Cities.
We were gone all day. I had a great time.
Being a backseat driver, er rider, is not as easy as I make it look. When the going got tough, I had to be ready to offer Dad a lot of encouragement. I said things like "Faster!" and "Come on Dad, you can do it!"
I can't wait until the next bike ride.

Upper Class Style, Chinese magazine, with a special report on Bösendorfer and an interview with the only "Klavierbaumeister" and one of the most demanded concert technician in China!
Cover - Upper Class Style magazine 2009, No. 17
Franz Schubert died in 1828 and was buried next to Ludwig van Beethoven. That year, Ignaz Bösendorfer founded his company in Vienna.
At this time, the young Franz Liszt, with his impulsive playing technique, wrecked nearly every piano available to him. Upon the advice of several friends he tried this with a Bösendorfer grand piano – which held up to his playing.
Since its founding over 180 years ago, Bösendorfer has manufactured 46,000 pianos. Traditional handicraft is the core of the production philosophy as well as the world-famous company's trademark. The handicraft in the factory leads to a corresponding level of quality. In 1839, Bösendorfer received the award of the industrial exhibition in Vienna, and the Austrian emperor conferred upon Bösendorfer the title "Royal and Imperial Purveyor of Fortepianos to the Court." Bösendorfer was the first piano maker to receive this title, and in 1850 the Bösendorfer sound from Vienna became world-famous.
All Bösendorfer pianos are produced in highly demanding manufacturing processes: the wood storage phase lasts up to 5 years. The piano company looks for spruces that have grown very straight and at an altitude of 800 meters and at the lowest possible humidity. After an open-air drying period of 5 years, the wood is dried for another 3 months. It is an instrument with soul, not a mass-produced product.
The Bösendorfer sound is unique. The classic Bösendorfer grand has 88 keys, whereas the model 225 has 92 keys and the Imperial concert grand 97. These additional keys are in the bass. Since all structures and materials are of high purits and hardness, the piano is able to absorb the enormous tensile force of the taut strings. The Bösendorfer resonating case principle, which treats the entire instrument as a sounding body, creates a touching depth of sound. Its sensitivity is very high.

Beaker, One of a Pair
Although well-to-do Dutch colonials occasionally drank from beakers at home, more often such vessels were liturgical. This beaker was used in the Dutch Reformed Church of the Flatlands, in what is now Brooklyn. Dutch-American beakers are often decorated with fine engraving and ornamental bands at the foot. The three engraved medallions around this beaker contain figures of the three of the Virtues: Faith, Hope, and Charity.
- Maker: Gerrit Onckelbag, American, 1670-1732
- Medium: Silver

Apple-squash soup
Most apple soups use the apple as a background flavor for squash. This version uses apple as the main ingredient, with some squash to add a bit of body. The aromatics (onion and garlic) increase the savory levels, and the spices give the soup a mystery that makes it a joy to eat. Chinese five-spice powder and curry powder are both easily available at your local source for spices.
Makes: 8-12 servings, depending on bowl size
1 pound orange squash, cut in half and seeded (I used delicata, but acorn or butternut work just as well)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil plus extra to coat the squash
1 large onion, medium dice
6 large cloves garlic, crushed and roughly chopped
3 pounds mixed apples, medium dice (I used 3 each of the following: Cox orange, Macintosh, Fuji and Braeburn)
8 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra to use while cooking
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
finely minced chives for garnish (optional)
thinly sliced apple for garnish (optional)
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat the flesh of the squash with olive oil and place flesh side down on a sheet pan. Place the sheet pan in the hot oven and bake for 45 minutes or until the flesh is easily pierced by a pairing knife. Take out of the oven and let it cool to the touch. Scoop the squash out with a spoon and set aside until needed. In a large pot heated over medium-high heat, add the butter and olive oil, and stir until butter is melted and starts to bubble. Add the onion, garlic and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion starts to become translucent. Add the apples, turn the heat down to medium, and cook for five minutes. Add the stock, five spice powder, curry powder, and salt and pepper to the pot. Turn the heat up to high and bring the soup to a boil. Turn the heat down to medium low and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Puree the soup in batches using a blender or a food processor. Serve immediately with chive and apple garnishes.
Tip: Switch out the Chinese five-spice powder with garam masala to let the flavors shift in a fragrant direction.

Best way to be happy is to let yourself do what it takes to get you there. Say hi!
I'm a pretty strong girl who is looking forward to a successful career as well as a good adventure into foreign lands. I love listening to live jazz music, dancing and chasing and photographing sunsets. I also love a small pub with good friends hanging out and laughing together. Eventually I'd like to own a jazz club of my own, as well as a log cabin on a lake. I'm comfortable with myself and am happy with my life thus far. Would love to have a guy to join me in every-day life's adventures. After all, it is so much better to be able to experience something awesome and grab your man's hand while he has a silly grin on his face because he's experiencing the same thing with you. I believe that there's no greater advice than to be true to one's self. Also, letting life pass you by, failing to be ambitious in your own pursuits or giving into fear or comfort just won't do. Life's too short! To that end, I'm looking for someone who has a strong character, ambition, confidence, dedication and drive, charisma, big warm personality and a big heart and an excellent sense of humor. Someone who pursues his passions with abandon and who pursues me with that same drive. A companion who enjoys exploration, engrossing conversation and lots of easy laughter. Someone who is not afraid to be real, open, and honest with himself or me. Someone who will follow through on his words and intentions. If you are genuine, you have real appeal. I just recently moved back to the area and love discovering the hot spots, restaurants and the secretly awesome holes in the wall. Would love some good company.
Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports
Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Dancing, Football, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Dogs
Some other viewpoint
A good sushi bar. A cozy coffee shop. A jazz club. A salsa bar. A pub with some good friends. Places I plan on visiting sometime - African safari / Tanzania, South America / Brazil, Spain. Lago di como and Positano and Paris were beautiful.
Fave books - Atlas Shrugged, Brave New World, Shutterbug, The Traveler Fave eats - sushi, duck, greek and italian food, french food.
I love photography; travel; photographing while traveling. I love jazz clubs. Salsa-dancing revives the spirit. A cup of joe and good convo make me happy. As does a really great meal. And good company to enjoy it all with.

Design Tragedy in the Twin Cities
One social design issue here in the Twin Cities is the 35W Bridge. As we know from across the nation, the collapse of the architectural Bridge devastated many individuals and families.
On August 1st, 2007, just after 6:00pm, the bridge collapsed during rush hour. It killed four people, injured more than seventy-nine people and twenty were missing after dozens of vehicles fell into the Mississippi River.
Over the summer, I was in a program called Bridge to Academic for Excellence from June 17th to July 28th, 2007. The program is summer classes for incoming freshmen to get a head start in college and get to know how college life is like. But this is not the part; let's get back to the topic.
Friends and families of mine knew I was in the program and knew that I stayed in Minneapolis in Centennial dorm. Not many knew that I went home on the 28th and once they found out about the collapse of the bridge, I was swamp with many phone calls asking if I was alright and if I had heard about the tragedy.
Today it is a social design issue because with the bridge all torn up; the major road accesses for many drivers are inaccessible and have to take detours. The government and bridge contractors are trying to figure out how to rebuild a new bridge with a better design so the collapse of the bridge will not happen again. The bridge shows that the bridge was design incorrectly in the first place and today, many bridge contractors need to figure out how to construct bridges that will be safe and convenient for many drivers in the Twin Cities.
According to CNN, construction took place on the bridge Tuesday night and was to take place again Wednesday night, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The highway would have been restricted to a single lane in both directions from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. both nights. The bridge was undergoing re-decking work, but nothing structural was being done, U.S. Transportation Department spokesman Brian Turmail said.
With the new construction taking place right now, it take time and much money to re-construct the 35W bridge that meet the safety of citizens.

What is Special Education: Modified and Comprehensive concentration
Special education is the field in which professionals work to provide education for children with disabilities. Sometimes the difficulty is in an academic area. Sometimes the disabilities are severe physical, mental, and emotional ones. Special education teachers help students struggling in school to become as independent as possible. Special education is part of all schools. It is defined as specially designed instruction to meet individual needs of students with disabilities. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act requires that special education services be provided for students from preschool through high school. Services must be provided for students with specific learning disabilities, speech or language impairments, cognitive disabilities, emotional disturbance, other health impairments, multiple impairments, hearing impairments, orthopedic impairments, autism, visual impairments, traumatic brain injury, developmental delay, blindness, and deafness.
Career Opportunities in Special Education: Modified and Comprehensive concentration
There are not enough special education teachers to meet existing needs. Critical teacher shortages exist in all areas and at all levels: preschool, elementary, middle, and high school. At our annual Education job fair, recruiters from surrounding states offer new computers, moving expenses, and signing bonuses.
Salary Trends in Special Education: Modified and Comprehensive concentration
Teacher salaries vary according to levels of formal training (bachelor's degree, master's, educational specialist, and doctorate) and the number of years of experience. Salaries vary among states and school systems. Students graduating from the special education training program at UT typically complete their master's degree before beginning teaching. Since they also complete a one-year graduate-level internship, they begin as a second-year teacher. This places them two steps up on the pay scale—one for the advanced degree (MSE) and one for the internship-teaching year, when employed by a Tennessee school system.
High School Preparation
Students must complete the basic college track programs to be admitted to the university. High school guidance counselors are familiar with UT's admissions requirements. High school is a critical period for vocational exploration and preparation. Students considering special education teaching as a career should seek out opportunities that would expose them to the disability population and to the professionals who serve this population. Most high school programs serving students with severe disabilities actively recruit "peer tutors." Participating in peer tutoring programs will result in the acquisition of direct instructional skills, plus important first-hand experience with students with disabilities. Also, students considering this profession should take advantage of opportunities to informally interview special education teachers within their own schools. Such teachers are valuable resources in selecting a university training program and would be able to describe the particular programs they completed. The most important preparation activity is working with special needs students, whether as a peer tutor, a babysitter, or in another context. Many of our students come with a rich history of such experiences.
How to Major in Special Education: Modified and Comprehensive concentration
Prospective students should seek advising through the College of Education, Health and Human Sciences Office of Student Services (865-974-8194). Students apply for admission into the special education program after completing a minimum of 45 credit hours. They must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.7. Prospective students apply for admission by submitting written documentation and are subsequently interviewed by an admissions board consisting of special education faculty and professionals in the field. Students who are recommended for admission are then eligible to take education courses. Undergraduate coursework consists of a broad academic curriculum, with a balance of arts and sciences courses. Senior and internship coursework is highly specialized.
Requirements for Special Education: Modified and Comprehensive concentration
A minimum GPA of 2.7 is required for admission into the special education program. The Special Education Modified and Comprehensive Program leads to licensure to teach in K-12 settings with students with mild to moderate disabilities and students with severe to profound disabilities. Students pursue an undergraduate major in special education, with most of the education coursework and field experiences occurring during the senior year. Students receive a B.S. in Education at the conclusion of the senior year; and continue on for a fifth year internship in which they are mentored as first-year teachers in both modified and comprehensive settings. With an approved 12 hours of graduate work, students receive a Master of Science in Education degree.
Special Programs, Co-ops, and Internships
During the senior year, students complete over 250 clock hours of field experience in public schools associated with their special education coursework. Students gain experience in both comprehensive and modified K-12 settings. Students engage in activities ranging from assisting teachers with preparation of materials to accompanying classes on field trips to teaching lessons to small and large groups. Placements are made collaboratively with area school districts, including professional development schools in Alcoa, Anderson County, Knox County, Lenoir City, and Roane County. In addition, some students opt for an earlier field experience, which affords them an initial exposure to real-school experiences. During the fifth (internship) year, students rotate through both comprehensive and modified placements at various grade levels. Many also opt for elementary education and/or early childhood special education rotations during the internship.
Highlights of Special Education: Modified and Comprehensive concentration
The special education program has strong field-based components imbedded in the curriculum. These allow students the opportunity to explore a variety of age groups and types of disabilities throughout the program. During the fall and spring of their senior year, special education majors enroll in "blocks" of integrated coursework and field experience. Coursework addresses needs and characteristics as well as best practices in teaching methods for students in grades K-12 with both mild to moderate learning and behavioral disabilities and severe and profound disabilities. For approximately 10 weeks during fall semester, students spend two days per week in field settings, with rotations in elementary or middle school special education settings serving students with mild to moderate disabilities. For 10 weeks during spring semester students spend two days per week in a field setting, serving students with severe disabilities. In addition to the blocks, students enroll in other educational coursework (e.g., instructional technology, instructional methods), typically during spring semester of the senior year.
The program is designed to be compatible with and to build upon coursework required for licensure in elementary education. Consequently, many special education majors seek to add licensure in elementary education by completing an intern rotation in an elementary setting. Further, for those students interested in working with preschoolers with disabilities, additional coursework and field experience leading to licensure in early childhood special education is also available.
Ready for the World
The Special Education program at the University of Tennessee helps prepare future educators to be "ready for the world" with coursework and applied experience in identifying and addressing the needs of diverse learners including English language learners. Culturally fair assessment practices and universal design for learning principles are incorporated into special education coursework and practice.
Additionally, please note that The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, offers study abroad programs in Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia, South America, and North America. Program lengths vary from mini-term trips to the entire academic year, and students may choose to fulfill general education requirements, study a foreign language, or take courses within their majors.
Consult an academic advisor early in your academic career about the best time for you to study abroad as well as what courses you may need to take. For more information about program options, the application process, and how to finance study abroad, please visit the Programs Abroad Office website. Learn more about UT's Ready for the World initiative to help students gain the international and intercultural knowledge they need to succeed in today's world.

What's more, economic development in many countries will grow even faster, perhaps doubling in the same period - and this development will demand more intensive use of the world's resources, notably energy. This is already a serious issue - can the planet sustain such growth ? Will food and water supplies become scarce ? Will the cumulating effect of greenhouse gas emissions lead to horrendous climatic effects ?
As an energy company, Gulf Oil International is concerned about these issues and advocates the more efficient use of energy (fuel economy products) and emission reduction (low-emission products and alternative fuels).

On Nov. 15, Liberty Bank officials presented Eastern President Elsa Núñez with the 2012 Willard M. McRae Community Diversity Award at a gala reception in the Betty R. Tipton Room attended by more than 300 friends, family members, students, faculty, Eastern staff, bank officers and community leaders.
"In choosing the recipient of the award, we look not just for people who have given their time in service to community organizations, but for those who have made it their mission to make opportunities available to all," said Chandler Howard, president and CEO of Liberty Bank. "There is not a shadow of a doubt that Elsa Núñez is such a person."
Introduced in 2001 as the Liberty Bank Community Diversity Award, the award was renamed in 2009 in honor of Willard M. McRae, a past chairman and board member of Liberty Bank. It is designed to recognize an individual from the communities served by Liberty Bank who has been a leader in connecting people who are different -- whether those differences are of religion, race, ethnicity, economic status, age, or any other aspect of diversity.
As this year's award recipient, Núñez was able to direct a $5,000 charitable donation from the Liberty Bank Foundation to the nonprofit organizations of her choice. She selected the Eastern Connecticut State University scholarship fund to receive the donation.
In accepting the award, Núñez spoke passionately about the need to address the educational achievement gap: "The conditions for every American in our society are not what you and I consider fair. When we see that the college graduation rate for African American students is 20 percent lower than that of white students - and that Latinos are half as likely to finish college - we realize that we have to create change in our communities and our universities."
State Representative Susan Johnson was on hand at the award ceremony to present Núñez with a citation in her honor from the state legislature. Windham Mayor Ernest Eldridge presented best wishes from the town, recognizing Núñez's involvement in making educational opportunities available to local residents.
"Leadership is all about vision, and Dr. Núñez has a big vision," said Edward Osborn, director of university relations at Eastern, who nominated Núñez for the award. "In her mind, the 'tent' -- whether it is this campus, this community, this state, this nation, or the entire world -- includes all of us. Even with such a big vision, Dr. Núñez sees each person as the unique individual they are."
"There are five words that stick in my mind when I think of Elsa Núñez: Learn. Achieve. Give back. Repeat," said Chandler Howard in presenting the award. This is what this extraordinary woman has done with her own life--and what she encourages and enables every student, and indeed everyone around her, to do themselves,"

Time Person of the Year 2012: Barack Obama
- Photo: Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) - President Barack Obama has been named Time's "Person of the Year" for 2012.
The selection was announced Wednesday on NBC's "Today" show.
The short list for the honor included Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani teenager who was shot in the head for advocating for girls' education.
It also included Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi and Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Obama also received the honor in 2008, when he was President-elect.
Last year, "The Protester" got the honor.
Time's "Person of the Year" is the person or thing that has most influenced the culture and the news during the past year for good or for ill. In 2010, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg received the honor.
Other previous winners have included Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, Bono and President George W. Bush.

The cast enjoyed a great day at the Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast Museum as they, for the 14th year, adapted the facts of the case for performance to the public. Tickets were sold out well before the afternoon, with starting times on the half hour this year. An exit poll was given to the visitors and over 60 % of those who filled out the form decided Lizzie was the guilty party, with Uncle John Morse coming in a distant second. There was a drawing at the end of the day for a gift certificate to the popular B&B. Some of the cast is shown above after the day was ended, before being treated to a tour of all floors of Lizzie's home on French St., Maplecroft.

Logan Livesey as Andrew Borden
July 30, 2010 in Cast 2010, In the Spotlight, Local Appearances, Now Playing, Second Street Re-Enactments, The August 4th Annual Re-Enactments, The House on Second Street | Tags: Logan Livesey | 1 comment
Logan Livesey will be a first-time cast member in 2010 although he is no stranger to the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast Museum. Logan has worked as part time chef and primary housekeeper for nearly two years. Some who frequent the King Richard Faire in Carver, Massachusetts may recognize Logan from years gone by where he was a costumed medieval re-enactor with his mom, also once an employee at the Lizzie B&B who once played Borden friend, Alice Russell.
Logan enjoys the work at the house, which requires some muscles to lift the weekly tons of laundry down to the cellar laundry room. The worst part of the housekeeper's job- folding all the sheets! The cooking takes some getting used to, especially pacifying the old black cast iron stove.
As for all the paranormal focus on the house in recent years, Logan says, " Some rooms have a certain feeling , as if someone did not want you around- a sort of feeling of foreboding."
If he could be one person in the house on the day of the murders, it would not be a person at all.
"I would love to be a fly on the wall- or maybe on Lizzie's shoulder!"
As to the guilty party, Logan has no hesitation- "Lizzie did it- no other and no accomplice. Bridget had no motive and Lizzie had everything to gain. Plus she was on the spot. I think Andrew was respectable, but not likeable, and very hard in his business dealings. Age and life affected him.."
As to whether Andrew deserved what he got- " Hard to say- it was a bad end. But in the end, nobody was worse off for his demise- and two were better off!"
Logan is Fall River born and raised and will play the part of Andrew Borden (under the sheet). The hardest part "will be staying perfectly still on a very uncomfortable sofa."

As the date for the annual re-enactment at the Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast approaches, a few new members will be joining the cast for 2010. Over the next couple of weeks, more about this year's cast, costuming and script will appear. Stop by and visit often!
Presenting Miss Manning- Molly O'Brien!
Good things do come in small packages. The petite Molly O'Brien joins our cast this year in the "imagined" role of Miss Manning, reporter from the Fall River Herald. Molly has some serious acting chops and costuming credits for a young ingénue! Arriving at the Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast in October of 2009, she has become a welcome addition to the staff of daytime tour guides with her bubbling enthusiasm for the case, and cheerful presence. Molly's character will be a take-off on the real Mr. Manning, who, after a timely call from passerby John Cunningham, arrived at the Borden house soon after the discovery of Andrew Borden's body on August 4, 1892. "Miss Manning" will be interviewing Lizzie's Uncle John Morse, hoping for a "scoop".
"Lizzie did it. She was in the right place, had the time, and most of all- she had the best motive. But I think Bridget saw and knew something about it all," said Molly on the topic of whodunnit.
If Molly could be one person on the fateful day, it would be Alice Russell, who was in a position to observe everything as she stayed at the Borden house after the maid quit on Friday. The weapon, she feels, was the hatchet later found on the top of Crowe's barn and was the weapon for both homicides.
On the topic of whether or not Lizzie Borden deserves any sympathy for her life after the acquittal Molly believes, "If you are convinced she did it, she deserves none- nobody should have to die the way the Bordens did." Molly was inducted this past April into the Noble Order of Mutton Eaters and is a member of the Second Street Irregulars. Uncle John will not be able to resist the charms of Miss Manning!
More from August 4th! And a new address!

Joe Radza as Uncle John Morse
August 1, 2009 in Favorite Photos, In the Spotlight, Now Playing, Second Street Cast 2009, Second Street Re-Enactments, The August 4th Annual Re-Enactments, The House on Second Street | Tags: Borden Case Suspects, Cast Interviews, Lizzie Borden's Peculiar Uncle, Uncle John Morse | Leave a comment
Joe Madza' s just too nice a guy to be playing old Uncle John, Lizzie Borden's so-called peculiar relative. John, who stayed in the guest room where Abby Borden would be murdered the next day has always been a somewhat sinister personality. Many think John knew about the murders, helped to plan and assist the assailant, or maybe even had a hand in it himself! His alibis were nearly too perfect. The only thing not clear was a motive.
Joe 's interest in the case began with a vengeance after viewing the 1975 Elizabeth Montgomery television film when he was a college freshman. "I was both admiring and appalled at the same time that a woman could do such a thing." Many applaud Lizzie's grit in getting what she wanted and then soothe their conscience by saying the elderly Bordens were not nice and probably deserved what they got! "We have to somehow justify approving of murder," Joe says sheepishly.
The Victorian and Egyptian eras have a great resonance for Joe- and he wonders if reincarnation is so far-fetched. "I felt right at home the first time I stepped into the Borden House- I had come home again."
When asked whose eyes he would have liked to have been looking through on the day of the murders, he responded immediately,
"Addie Churchill's! She was the very first on the scene, and she saw something important that day- something she would not tell. It must have been an eyeful because she never told what it was".
As to the killer, Joe has no doubt it was Lizzie- all the way, and solo-although others in the house and neighbors on the street knew more than they were willing to tell about the situation in the family and what they saw and heard that day. Joe also agrees with the theory that Abby was the intended victim and Andrew was just unfortunate in coming home at the wrong time before Lizzie could concoct a reasonable alibi for the time of Abby's murder.
"His was a killing of self-preservation for Lizzie- because who would have known better who could have killed Mrs. Borden and why?"
Joe has researched his character inside and out for his portrayal Tuesday.
"I don't like Morse- I don't think he was a very lovable man or a nice one," Joe admits candidly. "He did not seem surprised at Abby's death, and his behavior watching and taking it all in while eating pears under the trees in the back yard seems unnatural behavior".
But the chance to don a fake gray beard and look "peculiar" and sinister under the pear trees was a role too good to miss! When Joe is not time traveling to 1892, he is an eighth grade teacher in Warren, Ohio teaching science and gifted students. I'd bet he's a favorite with the kids!
The Silent Abby Borden

"I have a great sympathy for Abby Borden, she had a tough job of trying to mother those two stepdaughters," says Shelley Dziedzic, scriptwriter for the annual re-enactments. In younger years Shelley took on the role of Miss Lizzie, which was "very difficult as so many people come with differing expectations of Lizzie." Since 2008, the character of the slain Mrs. Borden has been a silent one, with the deceased Mrs. Borden prone on the floor upstairs.
"I think it is important to have visitors to the house on this day see what Bridget Sullivan the maid, and neighbor Addie Churchill saw on August 4, 1892. It is chilling to bring to life that black and white photo we all have seen of Abby Borden dead on the floor by the bed. To see it in 3-D and in color adds another dimension. Most people are shocked and silent when they enter the room, their eyes going up on the wall to the crime scene photo in black and white of the same scene. This could happen today."
Since 2007, the body of the other victim, Andrew Borden, has been carefully covered with a blood-stained sheet as he lay on the famous black sofa.
"We tried many things to capture the horror of Andrew Borden's face- from prosthetic wounds to blood soaked eye patches but I think leaving it to the imagination of the guests by not showing everything works best. Their inner vision of what is under the sheet is far more horrifying than anything we could create with make-up."
Mostly Dziedzic wants people to know that the re-enactment is done with respect for the victims, and a true attempt to bring to life an historic event.
"I am always dismayed when I read a comment in the local papers or on the Internet that our group is glorifying a tragedy, or they say is a little wacky and gruesome. I think historic re-enactors such as one finds at Gettysburg, Sturbridge, Plymouth, or Mystic Seaport or any number of places do a great service in presenting history in a visual way which will prompt people to want to learn more about what happened so long ago."
Her dream is to one day have enough actors to take on the role of all the characters who had a part on that August morning- and to do so in real time.
"I think there just might be some real revelations if we could do it."

When crimes become mistakes
You can't help but wonder if Democrats ever pay taxes. It seems from the headlines that the way it works is that Democrats levy taxes but only Republicans have to pay them.
For a president who said he was going to preside over the most ethical administration in history, Barack Obama has shown an astounding talent of being able to find appointees who mistakenly manage to forget to pay their taxes.
Those Langston girls
Looking back on my childhood I can honestly say that in addition to a couple of good friends, I adored the Langston girls.
Even though they were "considerably older" than I, both Marcia and Debbie always took the time to tote me around and treated me more like a little sister than anything else.
Home looted during storm
Displaced by a recent ice storm, a Newark woman returned home Thursday afternoon to discover she had been a victim of more than just nature.
Independence County Deputy Duane Grice said he took a report around 12:30 p.m. from Janice Tucker who said her locked house at 6360 Cord Road had been burglarized during the recent power outage.
Residents remain 'resilient'
As many Independence and Sharp County residents work to get their homes and yards back in order following last week's ice storm, many more are still waiting for power to be restored.
This morning 800 Entergy Arkansas customers were still without electricity across parts of Independence, Sharp and Izard counties, according to Batesville Entergy customer service manger Les Frensley, who said he hopes that most all Entergy customers will be back on by Friday.
Planners shown architect's ideas
After years of brainstorming and work by city officials and a number of Batesville's citizens, a new comprehensive plan for the city's future growth has been approved by the planning commission to go before the city council for approval and implementation.
Guard 'Sports calendar' getting juiced
As electrical services improve after last week's ice storm, the "Sports calendar" continues to change and grow.
The biggest change involves Hillcrest. The school, which has campuses in Lynn and Strawberry, has stepped in to host the Lawrence County Tournament, which was originally to begin last weekend in Black Rock. Just before deadline, Hillcrest Coach Shawn Rose confirmed that the tourney is set to begin Wednesday night in the gymnasium at Strawberry. The Lynn campus is still without electricity.
Hillcrest girls hit free throws, stun Calico Rock
CALICO ROCK – Free throws, free throws, free throws. They will make you or break you.
The Hillcrest Lady Screamin' Eagles hit theirs down the stretch and knocked off the co-conference leader Calico Rock Lady Pirates 61-57 at Harold Ray Jeffery Gymnasium here Monday night.
