Loot Crate Munny Contest
Loot Crate brought its subscribers a Mini Munny as part of February's Play crate. Now, kings of the monthly box of awesome are sponsoring a Munny Contest, asking fans to customize a Mini Munny and enter it into one of several fun categories, by submitting a pic of the finished piece by the March 20th deadline. The categories range from specific themes (Hero/Villain, Best Lookalike, Best Videogame) to materials/methods used (Best Fashionable, Best Modified, Most Resourcful, etc.). The contest will be judged by an industry panel from several brands including Kidrobot (Frank Kozik), IGN, iam8bit, Nerdist, Meltdown, and more. In the spirit of democracy, the public can vote for their favorite customs as well.
The winner of each category will receive a prize pack slightly tailored to the category. In addition, there's a sweet prize pack for the entry that receives the most fan votes ($500, 1 Year of Loot Crates, Looter Tee, Super iam8bit and Hohokum Almanac books, plus a 7" munny) and another for the Judges Pick which is similar but swaps out the $500 for a $100 Amazon card and trims the subscription to 6 months.
Drop by the Loot Crate Munny Contest page to check out the submissions, enter your own, and vote for your favorites.

Kidrobot Welcomes Customs, Not Bootlegs
Long overdue, Kidrobot has r eleased an official statement addressing bootlegging in which they make clear that they welcome and support customization of their various toys (including their popular Dunny and Munny platforms), but will actively seek to prevent bootlegging—the un-authorized duplication of their toys.
While the distinctions can get blurry, our interpretation of the statement is that artists/collectors/fans who purchase a Kidrobot figure can do to it as they see fit, and can release limited series of "Dunnys", "Munnys" or what have you as long as a production vinyl figure is used for each piece. However, the duplication or reproduction of a Kidrobot toy will be viewed negatively, as an infringement of the brand's intellectual property, and will be subject to corrective action. Or put another way, paint, cut, and add to their toys, but don't make molds and cast your own copies of KR figures. Additionally, don't create and sell from "scratch" versions of "Dunnys" (as an example) as these will likely be considered bootlegs; each piece does not include one of KR's production toys. Again, this is our interpretation of the statement, if you're in doubt please reach out to Kidrobot for clarification.
From our perspective, this policy is sensible, allowing artistic creativity, while protecting the financial investment and rights of Kidrobot and the artists they work with. Frankly, we've been surprised that Kidrobot has until now, turned a bllind-eye to bootlegs, such as resin Dunnys.
Perhaps as equally important as the basic policy is the fact that Kidrobot is open to working with artists who would like to pursue projects which involve duplicating production toys, under a licensing arrangement. In fact, Mikie Graham worked with Kidrobot on this type of arrangement for his sweet Halloween Dunnys. Additionally, the re-born KR is actively working with and promoting customizers.

Kidrobot Joins NECA
In breaking news, action figure brand NECA has purchased Kidrobot. According to the press release, Kidrobot will continue to create art toys as an autonomous company from their boulder offices guided by the one and only Frank Kozik as creative director.
"It's rare to have the opportunity to join forces with an artist-centric company like this," said Joel Weinshanker, COO of NECA. "We are doubly thrilled to be able to allow it to grow organically and flourish on its own, which is what we're certain it will do with the involvement of Frank Kozik as Creative Director."
"When Joel and NECA approached us about joining forces, about his intention to support us and allow Kidrobot to move forward with autonomy, I knew we had found the right partner," said Bob Africa, President of Kidrobot. "The timing of Frank agreeing to join us could not have been better and we are incredibly excited about Kidrobot's future."
This big and welcome move is a partial answer to the question on most of our minds, what would become of KR. We reached out to Frank about KR's new direction and he replied simply and triumphantly, 'WE WILL RAGE'. Here's hoping that Kidrobot rages like never before and becomes a clever and innovative force in the toy world once again.

Gary Baseman -- 'Mythical Creatures' Documentary on Kickstarter
The Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for the completion of Gary Baseman's 'Mythical Creatures' documentary is in the home stretch seeking a $100,000 stretch goal before ending on Monday (8.18). The film relates and personalizes the tragic lessons of the Holocaust through his parents' personal harrowing experiences and heroic struggle against the Nazis in part with allegorical animation featuring Baseman's characters and creatures. The money raised will help fund a filmed visit to the hometown of Baseman's parents (Modern-day Ukraine) which will see the creation of an art installation as well as post-production for the documentary.
There are plenty of tempting rewards for project backers including a signed Gary Baseman x Shepard Fairey Partisan print, several T-shirts, movie poster and perhaps of most interest to toy collectors, a 12" limited-edition Toby Doll ($150). This new Toby plush is a follow-up to the long since sold-out larger 16" version (2005). Head on over to the 'Mythical Creatures' Kickstarter to learn more about the film and all of the available rewards.

text: on Dec 10, 2013 @ 1:02 AMDec 10, 2013 @ 1:02 AM PublishedAustralia gov't to monitor Japanese whale hunt in Antarctica Australia's government reconfirmed Thursday it intends to send a ship to monitor Japan's whale hunt in seas around Antarctica, which is expected to begin in several weeks. "We will have clear monitoring in the Southern Ocean," Environment Minister Greg Hunt was quoted by the Australian Associated Press and other local media as saying. Hunt said he would provide details later this month as the government is still working through some "operational issues." In the lead-up to the September election won by the ruling conservatives, Hunt had promised to have an Australian customs vessel in place to monitor the Japanese whaling activity. His reconfirmation of that comes just days after Japanese whaling ships headed for Antarctica with the aim of slaughtering up to 935 minke whales and up to 50 fin whales through March. Anti-whaling group Sea Shepherd, which claims to have saved the lives of about 930 whales last season, plans to send vessels to intercept the Japanese whaling fleet. It wants the Australian government to send a customs vessel to put pressure on Japan. The International Court of Justice is expected to rule soon on Australia's case against Japanese whaling, which began in The Hague in July after decades of diplomatic efforts failed to curb Japan's whaling program. Australia argues that Japan's so-called "research whaling" program is a cover for commercial whaling in breach of its obligations under the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling.==Kyodo

Anyone ever been in this position I KNOW babys head is down & in LOP position but how do I explain the extra bumps & feet that aren't meant to be where they are? Even though baby has dropped there has been no lightening at all in fact since baby dropped it is MORE crowded under my right rib?
Is there any way for you to get someone to check for heartbeats. One person with a doppler and one with a fetoscope? Or two fetoscopes?
I would be nervous to UC twins without prior knowledge of them. But that's just me.

Do you ever feel fetal hiccups? My twins got them at the same time sometimes, but they were always in specific places. Also, my uterus felt EXTREMELY full, I could not palpate one baby even if I wanted to. With this one I can find the position of my baby because there's enough room to palpate around the baby. Lol.
I know what you mean....sometimes I wonder if there are two in me as well....but in the long run it is probably just one. I will be having an ultrasound in a few weeks. I would suggest u get one if u r truly concerned it might be twins. It is best to be prepared than not.

"I don't know how far action will follow rhetoric, but some days it sounds like the administration is declaring war at home on the values they profess to be promoting abroad." - New York Times executive editor Bill Keller, in an email to left-wing investigative reporter Murray Waas, as reported April 26 on mediabistro.com.
Tell it To Reagan, Bork, Thomas, Newt....
"The Huffington Post came along at a time when the liberal penchant for polite discourse was being buried by the unalloyed opinions of conservatives, who used talk radio and the Web to tilt the playing field in their favor. Ms. Huffington put the same kind of megaphone on the left at a time when the old hallmarks of civility and fairness were no longer prized, and in this new world, a bit passé." - Media reporter David Carr, in his May 15 column about Arianna Huffington's left-wing celebrity blog.
Al Gore or a NYT News Article?
"...with resource consumption and environmental destruction rising at unsustainable rates, plenty of people view the future with alarm. That spotlights technologies like nuclear power, genetic engineering and nanotechnology, which are often cited as crucial to heading off economic and environmental disaster." - Business reporter Barnaby Feder, May 17.
The Machines Made Us Do It
"Because of a word processing malfunction, an article on April 21 about the Afghan parliament's endorsement of 20 of the 25 proposed cabinet ministers misstated the name of a deputy from Kabul who forecast further discussion of three of them. The deputy is Kabir Ranjbar, not Caber Ran bar." - May 1 correction.
Responsible Rhetoric on a Serious Matter
"[Bush's] plan to deploy 'up to 6,000' National Guard troops to free the Border Patrol to hunt illegal immigrants is a model of stark simplicity, one sure to hearten the Minuteman vigilantes, frightened conspiracy theorists, English-only Latinophobes, right-wing radio and TV personalities, and members of Congress who have no patience for sorting out the various and mixed blessings that surging immigration has given this country." - From the May 16 lead editorial on Bush's illegal immigration speech.
From the Folks Who Don't Want to Legislate Morality....
"To people who take the threat of global warming personally, driving a car that spews heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere can be a guilt trip. But to help atone for that environmental sin, some drivers are turning to groups on the Internet that offer pain-free ways to assuage their guilt while promoting clean energy." - Anthony DePalma, April 22.
A Revival from the Reagan Years
"But even if their arrival together on Broadway is just a fluke, it may still signal a reawakening, at least among artists and arts organizations, to the idea that the widening gap between rich and poor poses possible dangers to the country's social fabric....An experimental revival of 'Waiting for Lefty,' peopled not by cabdrivers but by disgruntled greeters at Wal-Mart, seems a distinct possibility. Just don't make it a musical, please." - Theatre critic Charles Isherwood on two new Broadway shows with labor themes, April 23.
Convicting Anti-War Disruptors Would Put "Grandmotherhood on Trial"
"The defendants called themselves 'grannies' because they are all old enough to be grandmothers, even if some of them are not, and because in their view, grandmothers are a core American value, as patriotic as mom and apple pie. Essentially, Judge Ross had found himself with grandmotherhood on trial in his courtroom....When it was over, the grannies seemed ready to do it again. 'The decision today says the First Amendment protects you to protest peacefully,' Mr. Siegel said, addressing his clients outside the courthouse after the verdict. 'So - go do it!' And the grannies cheered." - From Anemona Hartocollis' profile of 18 left-wing anti-war "grannies" arrested for blocking a military recruitment center in Times Square.
Rush Limbaugh, Conservative Hypocrite
"Before his own problems with painkillers surfaced, Mr. Limbaugh had regularly told listeners that drug users should be jailed." - Jeff Leeds, April 29. The most popular supporting quote for that position is from Limbaugh's TV show, back in 1995.

During the 2012 season Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson had a record-breaking season with his 1,964 yards in a single season; breaking all-time great Jerry Rice's long-time record of 1,848 yards in 1995. Johnson has been the best overall receiver all six seasons he has been in the league playing on some pretty bad teams.Over his career, Johnson has been one of the most targeted receivers in the league with 882 passes thrown his way during the regular season. He has seen more balls come his way especially with Matthew Stafford as his quarterback.With Johnson playing on a terrible Lions team he still led the league in targets in 2012. Here is the top 10 most targeted receivers of 2012.

Determinants and Effects on Property Values of Participation in Voluntary Cleanup Programs: The Case of Colorado
State Voluntary Cleanup Programs (VCPs) were established starting in the 1990s to encourage the environmental remediation and redevelopment of contaminated properties. These programs typically offer liability relief, subsidies and other regulatory incentives in exchange for site cleanup. This paper asks three questions: First, what type of properties are attracted to voluntary cleanup programs? Second, what is the interaction between these state programs and other incentives for remediation and economic development, such as Enterprise Zone and Brownfield Zone designations? Third, what is the effect of participation in the VCP on property values? We use data from Colorado's VCP to answer these questions. We find that most of the properties enrolled in this program were not previously listed on EPA's contaminated site registries, and that most applicants seek to obtain directly a "no further action" determination without undergoing remediation. The main determinants of participation are the size of the parcel and whether the surrounding land use is primarily residential, while other incentives have little effect. Properties with confirmed contamination sell at a 47% discount relative to comparable uncontaminated parcels, and participation tends to raise the property price, but this latter effect is not statistically significant. Taken together, these findings suggest that the participating properties are those with high development potential, and hint at the possibility that owners or developers may be seeking to obtain a clean bill of health from the State with only minimal or no cleanup efforts. Were these findings confirmed with data from other states, they would raise doubts about the effectiveness of voluntary programs in encouraging remediation and their usefulness in reversing some of the undesired effects of the Superfund legislation.

If you encounter difficulties with twunk_32.exe, you may also uninstall the associated program (Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove programs > go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?lin).
Recommended: Identify twunk_32.exe related errors
External information from Paul Collins:
Important: Some malware camouflages itself as twunk_32.exe, for example Possible_Mlwr-13 (detected by TrendMicro), and Backdoor:Win32/Bandok (detected by Microsoft). Therefore, you should check the twunk_32.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security.

Summary: Average user rating of twunk_32.exe: based on 9 votes with 6 user comments. 3 users think twunk_32.exe is essential for Windows or an installed application. 2 users think it's neither essential nor dangerous. 2 users suspect danger. 2 users think twunk_32.exe is dangerous and recommend removing it.
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with twunk_32. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using cleanmgr and sfc /scannow, uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using msconfig) and enabling Windows' Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off doing a repair of your installation, or in the case of Windows 8, executing the DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the twunk_32.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: Security Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries.

Aviva Premiership: Sale Sharks start New Year with win at Kingston Park
Last Updated: 03/01/14 11:04pm
Sale started their year with a workmanlike 16-8 Aviva Premiership victory over Newcastle Falcons at Kingston Park on Friday.
Tom Brady's first-half try was the difference as the Falcons' frustrating season continues.
Trailing by just five points at half-time, they failed to fight back and seal just their fourth win of the season.
Sale will feel they have had a strong season, with this win pushing them up to sixth position until Exeter and Leicester play over the weekend.
Newcastle's search for a league success continues, having not gained victory in a Premiership game since their triumph over London Irish in October.
After Phil Godman and Danny Cipriani had traded early penalties, they both then missed one apiece in a game of limited chances.
The game's first flash of quality resulted in a try for the visitors. The Sharks moved the ball from the left wing to the right with speed to find Brady on the overlap who skipped over for his second try of the season.
Falcons, the lowest scorers in the Aviva Premiership so far this season, managed to get a score for themselves soon after. Andy Saull was the man in possession when Newcastle drove over the line from a rolling maul.
Dean Richards' men went in five points behind after Cipriani's penalty on half time.
Sale were going in search of their sixth win of the season and looked good value for their lead.
The rain began to pour as the second-half kicked off. Unfortunately though, tries didn't. Dan Braid's sin-bin was the only notable talking point as the game ticked towards the hour mark.
Sale's chance to gain what could have been an unassailable lead was squandered when Cirpiani sent wide a kick from a fairly central position, as the second half looked more and more likely to end without a point being scored.
Cipriani's replacement, Nick Macleod, continued Newcastle's woes. His penalty ended any hopes of a Newcastle losing bonus-point.

Looking for An Amazing Woman to Enjoy Life With
Hey there. I can't guarantee you that we already have a lot in common - but if you read on and find out we do - you should message me! Born and Raised in South Carolina and Tennessee but reside here in Hawaii. I'm very family oriented, and love sports (but then again what guy doesn't). I love to laugh and spend time hanging out with friends. I'm an easy going person and try to stay clear of any drama. I want someone who will be upfront, honest, and I will do the same. It would be nice to have someone who would enjoy traveling and of course trying out local places to eat. There's nothing like a good dinner and then going for a walk on the beach! But it's give and take too, and I won't complain when you take me along shopping at the mall or while I sit in the waiting room when you get your nails done. :) I understand that being together is the most important part of a relationship no matter what we are doing (besides communication, of course). I'm now looking for a relationship, but I'm not looking to jump into anything without getting to know someone first. I've never been married, so I'm pretty sure it won't kill me to take things slow and make sure we are compatible. If you are divorced, I'm totally OK with that. You had to leave him in order to find me right? :) Anyways I think I wrote enough for now. Anything else feel free to ask or save for the first date ;) Don't be bashful!
I like Cats, Dogs
I would love to get a dog, but I travel too much....

This is quite stupid, but for some reason I found it very entertaining. Probably because seeing an unhappy Sharks fan brings me more joy than…well, just about anything. In LA's crushing 5-2 defeat over San Jose on Tuesday night, the Kings crew decided to prank a Sharks fan, who seemed less than pleased about the whole thing. The game in which the Sharks fan thought he was participating was called "puck to funnel," and the "objective" was to move a puck from the top of his forehead into a funnel tucked into his jeans. Ummm…red flag # 1: Why is there a funnel leading to the inside of your pants? Red flag # 2: Who actually would come up with a game this stupid? Regardless, this man took the bait and ended up with some soda down his pants. His bitter reaction is the only thing worth watching:

Revelers walk with burning crosses during the Bonfire Night celebrations in Lewes, Sussex in England. Bonfire Night is related to the ancient festival of Samhain, the Celtic New Year. Processions held across the South of England culminate in Lewes on November 5, commemorating the memory of the seventeen Protestant martyrs. Thousands of people attend the parade as Bonfire Societies parade through the narrow streets until the evening comes to an end with the burning of an effigy, or 'guy,' usually representing Guy Fawkes, who died in 1605 after an unsuccessful attempt to blow up The Houses of Parliament.

WALLA WALLA -- After closing last season on a high note, winning three of its final five Northwest Conference matches, the Whitman College volleyball team is primed to continue those winning ways this fall.
"We have a strong core group of returning veterans and a big group of talented first-year players," third-year Whitman coach Carolyn Papineau said. "We are very excited about the chance to build on the success we enjoyed at the end of last season."
"This is a stronger team all across the board -- at every position," Papineau added. "We have an incoming class of players with a high level of competitive experience, which gives us a lot more options. All possibilities are before us right now. We're going to have a lot of fun creating a new level of success for Whitman volleyball."
With just eight healthy players on hand to start last season, Whitman struggled through a long campaign, finishing with a 3-22 record overall, which included a 3-13 mark in the NWC.
"We were short-handed and young with no seniors, but for the most part, we were in our matches and competitive," Papineau said. "It took us awhile to get over the hump before we made a nice turn-around during the second half of the conference season.
Now sporting a roster of 13 players, led by seniors Alex Graves and Breanne Robirds, Whitman completes its early preparations when it hosts Walla Walla Community College tonight in an exhibition at 7 p.m. in refurbished Sherwood Center.
For its official season openers, Whitman travels to Thousand Oaks, Calif., to play four tournament matches Sept. 11-12. The Missionaries then start NWC play at home, hosting Willamette and Linfield on Sept. 18-19.
Graves and junior libero Kelsie Butts are in their second seasons as team captains.
"Alex and Kelsie are incredible competitors, and they do a super job in their leadership roles," Papineau said. "They did a lot to establish good team chemistry over the summer months. They made sure everyone stayed on track with their conditioning and that the new players felt welcome.
"Alex will hit on the outside again for us, and now that we have a stronger all-around team to put on the floor, we're looking forward to seeing what kind of senior season Alex can have," Papineau said. "We're going to have many offensive threats coming from different parts of the floor, so she won't have to shoulder so much of the load. We should get Alex more high quality swings this season."
For her part, Graves is "working on expanding her range of shots and becoming an even better all-around player than she was a year ago," Papineau said.
Butts put together a strong season last fall. As Whitman's libero, she led the team in digs, averaging 4.44 per game, which ranked her third in the NWC in that statistical category.
"Kelsie is working hard on extending her defensive range," Papineau said. "She tries to get better every day -- every time she touches the ball  and she's ready to take her game to a higher level this fall."
Robirds, the team's only other senior, is in her second Missionary season. She was third in kills for Whitman last season, and fourth in digs.
"Like all of our returning players, Brea starts the season in great physical shape," Papineau said. "She has a lot more spring in her legs, and she's hitting the ball well in training."
Sophomore Katie Miller, a 5-foot-7 outside hitter, returns after a solid rookie season. She was second on the team in kills, averaging 2.49 per game, and third in digs at 2.72 per game. She also was third in service aces with 22, trailing only Graves (28) and Butts (24).
One key to Papineau's optimism for the season ahead is that Katie Richards, a 5-foot-7 junior setter, is back and healthy. She missed most of last season due to injury, and it was no coincidence that Whitman's late season surge coincided with her return to the court.
"This will be Katie's first full season as a setter, and she's ready to assume that role," Papineau said. "She brings quickness, mobility and speed to the position. We can run a quick offense because she has those skills. She's also an offensive threat in the front row, and it's always good to have a lefty at the net."
While Whitman returns at least some collegiate experience at most positions, Papineau and her coaching staff will be plugging a void at middle blocker with one or more talented first-year players.
"That position is really up for grabs right now," Papineau said. "We're looking at multiple options, and we're fortunate that our first-year players come from very good club volleyball programs."
One of the newcomers in the mix is Courtney Brewer, a 5-foot-11 graduate of Alaska's South Anchorage High School. Others competing for time in the middle are 5-foot-11 Olivia Nielson (A.J. Dimond HS, Anchorage, Alaska) and 6-foot Carrie Cecil (Dana Hall School, Wellesley, Mass.).
Rachel Shober (Archbishop Murphy High School, Everett, Wash.) is a fourth first-year option in the middle.
Other newcomers on the roster include Amanda Holberg, a sophomore defensive specialist and setter who didn't play in her first year at Whitman, and Hannah Holloran, a 5-foot-9 first-year outside hitter from Tualatin (Ore.) High School.

The Humanities Computing Program offers three unique programs:
1) A 2-year Master of Arts (MA) degree pursued as an individualized program within the Office of Interdisciplinary Studies
2) A 2-year Master of Arts (MA) degree with a specialization
Students may pursue the degree with a specialization in a specific field. Currently, the programs of specialization include:
3) A 3-year MA/MLIS program which gives you a dual degree: a Master of Arts (MA) in Humanities Computing and and a Master of Library and Information Studies (MLIS) from the School of Library and Information Sciences. For more information, please see the Masters in Humanities Computing/Master in Library and Information Studies page here.
To start your graduate application please contact Janey Kennedy at firstname.lastname@example.com or 780-492-4802.
In all three programs streams (MA Individualized, MA with Specialization, combined MA/MLIS) students must complete each of the following:
Coursework for the HUCO MA (Individualized) consists of nine 3-credit courses: four required courses in Humanities Computing (HUCO 500, HUCO 510, HUCO 520 and HUCO 530) and five optional courses. Of the optional courses, a minimum of two must be in Humanities Computing.
Coursework for the HUCO MA (with specialization) consists of nine 3-credit courses: four required courses in Humanities Computing (HUCO 500, HUCO 510, HUCO 520 and HUCO 530) two optional courses in Humanities Computing, and three courses approved by the students' participating department in their area of specialization. It is the student's responsibility to be aware of the requirements for their specialization.
Ethics and academic integrity training is mandatory for all graduate students who started their program on or after September 1, 2004.
The Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research requires that each student complete the equivalent of at least eight (8) hours of structured academic activity to fulfill this requirement.
HUCO students will:
N.B. Some courses offered by FGSR as part of the Graduate Teaching and Learning Program can be used to fulfill requirement #2. Such courses will be publicized on the HUCO listserv and will be listed here. Students are also invited to find courses or sessions which they feel can fulfill this requirement. Any course or session you wish to use for this purpose must be approved by the graduate co-ordinator.
Students are responsible for establishing their own supervisory committees. Normally, this means circulating an informal proposal outlining the key ideas for the thesis, and having conversations with various faculty members. Once a student has decided on the right fit, they then invite faculty member(s) to serve on their committee. Occasionally a faculty member may be over-committed and may need to refuse a request, so students consider alternatives as they weigh their options. The composition of the supervisory committee, and the deadline for its establishment are slightly different for HUCO students and combined HUCO/SLIS students.
HUCO students are required to have a supervisor and first reader in place by April 30th of their first year. Of these two people, at least one must be HUCO affiliated faculty (i.e. regular faculty or adjunct faculty). When the student is ready to defend, a second reader is brought on to the committee to serve as an arm's length examiner.
N.B. Students with a specialization should check with their departments to see if there are additional requirements for the committee's composition.
HUCO students must complete and return the Approval of Supervisor and Supervisory Committee Form to the OIS Office by the deadline noted above.
Thesis Proposal Requirements and Deadlines
HUCO Students (including specialization)
Thesis proposals are 10-15 page documents. The supervisory committee, in consultation with the student, establishes the requirements for the proposal, but it will normally include at least the following sections:
The thesis proposal must be formally approved by the supervisory committee by Sep 30 of the student's second year. Please complete and file the Approval of Thesis Proposal Form in the OIS Office by that deadline.
Course offerings and scheduled meeting times are subject to change. Please consult Beartracks for the most up-to-date information about courses offered.
This course will provide students with an overview of the discipline of Humanities Computing and its varied applications across the program's participating Departments. Topics covered will change according to movements and trends within the discipline but the course should enable students to situate their own research interests within the broader framework of Humanities Computing and to make informed choices about how they structure the rest of their program. Existing research methodologies and projects will be showcased and critiqued. Topics could include but are by no means limited to: digitization of text, sound, and image; hypertext design and delivery; databases; text-analysis; statistical methods and analysis; knowledge representation and markup languages; electronic publishing and dissemination; and computers and culture. Upon completion of the course students will be able to situate their own research interests within the larger context of humanities computing, evaluate existing methodologies and projects, consider the ability of computer systems to represent knowledge, and analyze the impact of technology on research in the humanities. HUCO-500 is designed to be accompanied by HUCO-520, a more technically oriented course.
This seminar course will provide students with the opportunity to investigate the theories that underpin the relationship of computing methods to humanities research. Students will deepen their understanding of communications theory, information systems, knowledge representation, and related social questions. Humanities computing can be understood as having three main branches. In the first branch, computing is used to facilitate research on humanities questions, in some cases by providing better access to materials, in others by providing software tools through which the analytical processes used by humanities scholars can be supported. In the second branch, computing itself serves as the object of study, and the physical, cognitive, technological, interpersonal, and cultural aspects of computing are subjected to analysis. In the third branch, humanities computing is generative, and scholars produce and disseminate new materials in electronic forms. Topics for this course may be drawn from any of these three branches, and may therefore include but are not limited to such areas as the history and philosophy of science, epistemology, art and design, online education, interface design, text visualization, and cyberculture.
This course will provide students with an understanding of the technical aspects of Humanities Computing and an introduction to underlying computer methods - it is the companion course of the more theoretical HUCO-500 course. Students will gain technical skills that allow them to assess the nature of research problems in the Humanities and learn either to address these problems themselves or to discuss design issues with computer specialists. Whereas HUCO-500 has readings associated with each week's meeting, HUCO-520 will have weekly assignments.
Humanities Computing research is unlike traditional humanities research in many respects: the scope of projects usually extends beyond the single-scholar research model, the computer tools needed for research are expensive and the technology changes rapidly, electronic publishing is a largely unknown and expensive undertaking rarely tackled by conventional print publishers, and electronic research requires updating and maintenance beyond project funding. This course will prepare students for the various aspects of designing, implementing, managing, and maintaining a Humanities Computing research project.
This course will explore the cultural, social and technical significance of multimedia as an expressive medium. The course will explore the range of media types: text, images, animation, sound, and video; digital imaging and design, encoding, compression, etc.; politics and economics of access to multimedia; computer gaming and on-line gaming communities; and multimedia research and teaching.

I purchased this composter after my old one fell apart. I was willing to spend more for one that tumbles after years of trying to turn my own compost with a pitchfork and/or shovel. This one gets pretty heavy since it holds so much compost but I can still turn it myself, although I am a pretty strong woman. The design is wonderful and the assembly was a piece of cake, took me less than 15 minutes by myself. I had heard horror stories of other tumbling composters being difficult to assemble but this one showed up with the barrel in all one piece and I just had to assemble and attach the stand. I have already gotten quite a bit of compost "tea" from the compost I transferred from my old system into this one. I highly recommend it to anyone!
