What is SafeAssign?
SafeAssign compares submitted assignments against a set of academic papers to identify areas of
overlap between the submitted assignment and existing works. SafeAssign can be used to prevent
plagiarism and to create opportunities to help students identify how to properly attribute sources
rather than paraphrase. SafeAssign is effective as both a deterrent and an educational tool. SafeAssign is available as part USD's Blackboard platform, at no additional cost.
SafeAssign is based on a unique text matching algorithm capable of detecting exact and inexact matching between a paper and source material. SafeAssignments are compared against several different databases, including:
- Internet – comprehensive index of documents available for public access on the Internet;
- ProQuest ABI/Inform database with over 1,100 publication titles and about 2.6 million articles from 1990s to present time, updated weekly (exclusive access);
- Institutional document archives containing all papers submitted to SafeAssign by users in their respective institutions;
- Global Reference Database containing papers that were volunteered by students from Blackboard client institutions to help prevent cross-institutional plagiarism.

Interpreting SafeAssign Scores
Sentence matching scores are the percentage probability that two phrases have the same meaning. This number can also be interpreted as the reciprocal to the probability that these two phrases are similar by chance. For example, a score of 90 percent means that there is a 90 percent probability that these two phrases are the same and a 10 percent probability that they are similar by chance and not because the submitted paper includes content from the existing source (whether or not it is appropriately attributed).
Overall score is an indicator of what percentage of the submitted paper matches existing sources. This score is a warning indicator only and papers should be reviewed to see if the matches areproperly attributed.
- Scores below 15 percent: These papers typical include some quotes and few common phrases
or blocks of text that match other documents. These papers typically do not require further analysis, as there is no evidence of the possibility of plagiarism in these papers.
- Scores between 15 percent and 40 percent: These papers include extensive quoted or
paraphrased material or they may include plagiarism. These papers should be reviewed to
determine if the matching content is properly attributed.
- Scores over 40 percent: There is a very high probability that text in this paper was copied from
other sources. These papers include quoted or paraphrased text in excess and should be
reviewed for plagiarism.
Why do I want it?
Plagiarism Detection software allows you to
- Let your students know that their work will be assessed for originality

Justin Hughes, a former collegiate and professional goalkeeper, remains at Creighton for his fourth season on the Creighton coaching staff. Hughes was a four-year letterwinner at North Carolina, playing under current CU head coach Elmar Bolowich from 2003-06 in Chapel Hill. Following a standout collegiate career, he was drafted by the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer and spent two seasons with the Rapids.
In 2013 he helped guide the Jays through their inaugural season in the BIG EAST Conference and a tough non-conference slate. Creighton finished the season with a 9-9-2 overall record and a 4-4-1 mark in league play. Seven Jays claimed spots on 2013 All-BIG EAST Teams. Upperclassmen Eric Miller and Zach Barnes claimed NSCAA All-Great Lakes Region honors and later were drafted in the 2014 MLS SuperDraft.
He assisted Creighton's return to the College Cup in consecutive seasons for the first time in program history as a member of coach Bolowich's staff in 2012. The Bluejays finished the year with a 17-4-3 record and won the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) regular-season and tournament titles for a second straight season.
He helped the goalkeepers and the Jays' back line maintain incredible defensive numbers in conference. Creighton tied the MVC record for the fewest goals allowed (one) in a Valley season, set by CU just one year earlier. CU entered the 2012 College Cup on a 14-match unbeaten streak before falling 1-0 to national champion Indiana in a national semifinal.
Hughes works primarily with the goalkeepers at Creighton, coaching All-American Brian Holt in 2011 during the assistant's first season on the Bluejay bench. Holt finished that season with an NCAA record 0.21 goals against average, surrendering just five goals in 24 games. Hughes led the Bluejay keepers to the nation's lead in goals against average (0.20), shutout percentage (0.790) and save percentage (.926).
He spent the 2010 season as an assistant coach for both the men's and women's soccer teams at Elon University in North Carolina, helping both squads post winning records.
The Wake Forest, N.C., native started all 43 matches he appeared in during his four seasons with the Tar Heels. UNC advanced to the NCAA Tournament in each of his four seasons in Chapel Hill, with Hughes posting two of the top three goals against average marks in school history. As a junior in 2005, he led the ACC with a 0.50 GAA, the second-best mark in school history at that point. That season included seven shutouts, six of which he posted consecutively to tie a UNC record. He was tabbed to the ACC All-Tournament Team in 2005 as well. As a freshman in 2003, he was in goal for a shutout win over top-ranked Maryland.
Prior to his senior season in 2006, he was named a MAC Hermann Trophy candidate, an honor bestowed upon the top player in collegiate soccer. He finished his career at UNC ranked second in school history with a 0.79 career goals against average. In addition to his play at UNC, he was also a member of the United States U-20 National Team pool, selected as one of 21 players to participate in the 2005 FIFA Youth World Championships in Holland.
Following his successful collegiate career, Hughes spent two seasons with the Colorado Rapids, helping the team to a 2007 Reserve Division title. He was also selected as the recipient of the 2008 Colorado Rapids Community Service Award after making 60 community appearances at schools, soccer clinics and camps. Hughes also spent one season playing for Real Maryland FC of the United Soccer Leagues.
Hughes was a Dean's List honoree and member of the ACC All-Academic Team before graduating from North Carolina with a double major in exercise and sport science and geography. He earned an MBA from Creighton University in the spring of 2013. He and his wife, Mallory Nicole, were married in the summer of 2012.

Guild Wars 2 is a good game, it is not a great game. It is almost everything that ArenaNet (Mike) promised, but it is missing a few features that were promised. All of that said, as I see it, Guild Wars 2 is still the best game released this year by a long shot. Is it the Savor of MMO gaming? No. But it is a step the right direction.
I read the OP's comments and agree with most of it, yes I am a fanboi of ArenaNet. Very nice article, I enjoyed it very much. As for the comments, I skipped them as (on this site) they seldome relate to the article itself. Thank you for posting this thought provoking article.

My opinion is that its not a savior, but it is a game changer in the way the game is designed. If SWTOR had been designed in a more balanced way like GW2 is it may have been much more of a hit. It reminds me of when WOW came out and how it got rid of a lot of the annoying gameplay that EQ1 had in it. GW2 has taken it a step further by getting rid of a lot of the annoying features of WOW. For example, in WOW when you are soloing, you don't want anyone else around you stealing your mats and your kills. In GW2 I find myself teaming up with those peeps I would have hated being around me in WOW. I hope all the other companies look at all the thought they put into this game to make it more fun, and apply this mentality to future MMOs.

We live in an era where people have difficulty remaining objective about anything. There is a ton of hype behind gw2, and there are a bunch of people that think anet can do no wrong with the game. Even if a feature is lacking, to the fans it was a magnificent implementation of such a feature.
If you changed the name of guildwars2, most of the gw2 fanatics would have tons of criticisms about the game.
I personally do not believe the game is even close to being the savior of mmos. It took a few okay ideas (perhaps even good in theory) and implemented them in a very simplistic way.
Do dynamic events play like some revolutionary system that cascades and makes you feel like an important part of the game world? Not to me they don't.
Did they get rid of the collection of wolf tails and the kill 20 of X mob quests? No... they just give you a progress bar instead of telling you you are at n of 20 mobs completed.
Is the personal story amazing and properly implemented? The voice acting is mediocre, and the personal stories don't truly have that much depth to them. (I think i enjoyed the starter area sith stories in swtor more than gw2)
Did they make an atrocious game? Not at all, it is pretty polished, and easy to play and succeed at. But that is a far cry from what their manifesto boasted.
Another thing that bugs me about gw2 is that it is called an mmo, in this time and age many games are called mmos that would not be considered mmos back when the genre first started booming. GW2 claims it has a persistent world, but with overflows it is basically just a heavily districted game, sure you can go run around with other players (i'm talking about random players right now, because it is often a pain in the tuckus to get into the same zone as your friends right now) and I guess with technological advancements the number of players you can sit in the same zone with qualify it as "massive multiplayer", but I feel it is not in line with the spirit of the original MMOs. Yes eq1 had zones, and servers, but at least if you were on the same server as someone and went to the same zone, you were going to find them there, there were no districts, no overflows, no zone caps. The big appeal of mmos originally, was that you were doing things together with tons of people. I don't really feel like gw2 captures the spirit of mmos, I also feel like the massive aspects of it, aren't truly fleshed out very well, and they are very shallow forms of content.
Another problem with gw2 in general is that it is just so darn easy, and people will get bored with it sooner rather than later. The appeal or hook of many mmos was that it took some real effort to get to high progress on your character, your character meant something, it was a display of your journeys and effort invested. Progression in gw2 just doesn't seem to have that same level of satisfaction, things come easily, people hit max level in a couple of days... it all seems so trivial.
I wish anet had really taken a risk to try and innovate, they acted like that was what they were doing, but when I play the game, all these big claims they made, were all done in a very safe and familiar way.
One thing that makes me sad about gw2, the launch, and the community, is that if you ever want to be heard and give a real and brutally honest opinion, it simply doesn't work, you have to walk on egg shells just to get them to think about what you've said for even half a second, and usually even if you navigate the egg shells with eloquence, they usually just rawrrawr at you if you don't agree with their fanaticism.

I've never had a AAA MMORPG go stale on me so fast as Guild Wars 2 did. I'm really trying to like it but everything feels so homogenized. The game was built from the ground up to offer a platform for competitive arena PvP and the limited number of choices and options that the player can choose from makes for some pretty dull PvE. The game is obviously well made and has some really neat ideas behind it; it just failed at being all that much fun. I'd be upset if this game had a subscription fee, but I feel like I got my money's worth.
GW2 is like a couple days at the beach. You go there to have fun, after the fun is over you go back home. It isn't the savior of anything. Infact, it sets back the mmo genre tremendously because all of their game feautres have been done before time and time again.

After a few more days playing GW2 , all i have to say is , yes i'm saved.
Finally a game that is worth my money cash shop or not.
And as some other guy said above me , the servers will be there and my cash in my pocket and not in some sub to a low quality product like SWTOR , WoW , and the list goes on just to be able to play it.
I don't even get it how people spend subs to look at those cartoony outdated horrible crap called Blizz games DIABLO 3 included.
Or even buggy single player SWTOR and slow motion RIFT.
If the same features were added to todays WoW like DE's , they would be called innovation cause Blizzard did it.
But now it is same old same old.
Well it is not , Dynamic events scale , pop up everywhere , game world is huge and nicely done , classes are great, u can MOVE around and cast spells (Yes u CAN finally) , game is hard and rewarding , exploration is back finally, ur skills interact with the skills a player casts next to u .
Ur chars scale to lower levels = replayability .
Dungeons are hard to do , i was running dungeons in wow eating pizza same button hitting 1 all the way just to get the reward for no reason at all , next week another set would be there to grind for.
Just a few more days for them to sort out those annoying launch bugs and yes i have a home.
Now call me a fanboy who cares anyway.
Have fun in whatever u play

Am I the only one disappointed by only 1 million+ in sales so far? I hope the number picks up by the end of the month with the official sales.
Saviour of the genre? No. Still a great game minus a few bugs, as expected at launch.
[mod edit] I can't wait for news on the first expansion. I am hoping for a Factions expansion, I'd like to see the Ritualist class come back in GW2.

I am not a hater, I call it like I see it.
GWII is far from my "mmo savior", its still part of the problem if you ask me. To me it is still more of the same old stuff, which is an over simplified theme park, on rails with a supercharged jet pack propelling it along.
My mmo savior will be one that puts massive and multiplayer back in MMO's. I want a deep robust end game with a diversity of options. I want somewhat of a challenege, I want the journey to cap to be challenging as well. Anyways to make a long story shorter my savior mmo would be the rebirth of an old style MMO like EQ or my all time favorite FFXI. Something along those lines would make me 1 happy camper.

So I didn't read the posts you linked, but from the gist of your summary of Azuriel, I have to agree with that assessment. The game has those flaws and a few more such as a lack of UI customization and inability to duel (minor flaws imo).
However, personally, GW2 has saved the mmo genre in regards to my personal enjoyment. I was highly skeptical due to the hype, but as it turns out, this is exactly what I needed to be reminded that there are devs out there who care about a finely crafted game. I've never been as immersed in a game world as I am in GW2.
To me, GW2 wins on many fronts. Combat is buttery smooth for me, I have had zero performance issues and the graphics look amazing on my mid level PC. This is a relief because prior to GW2 I was playing TSW, and this was my biggest frustration, constant stuttering and disconnects. Before that, I was playing ToR, and I could spend pages complaining about performance there not to mention awful ability delays.
Next, the game world is highly immersive to me. My friends and I feel like we are part of the world and making things happen. The fact that a storyline plays out even if we aren't there is just icing on the cake. We haven't rp'd quite like this within a game's mechanics, well ever.
The system isn't perfect though, but to me, it's encouraging to see a step in this direction. Turning from "Oh hey, a rift, let's go kill things" to "let's go check on the monks at the monastery, make sure things are okay there, and down a pint" has been a breath of fresh air.
I don't know if this will happen in GW2, but the next evolution would be to start adding sandbox elements to this type of living world. Such a notion has renewed my interest in where the mmo genre is headed and makes me wonder if themepark and sandbox can coexist in the same game.
However, the game probably will get stale eventually, later rather than sooner for me though. But I eventually get sick of mac n cheese after a week of it, and I LOVE mac n cheese. If Arenanet stays committed though with updates and ::crossing fingers:: would entertain the idea of opening up some sandbox gameplay, I can see myself playing for a long time to come.
Before I come across as a blinded fan though, I will say, the personal storyline is lackluster and voice acting not that great. However, I was playing (and still playing btw) TSW before this which I feel beats almost any game on that front. I really, really hope both games succeed because as it stands now, these are among my most favorite games, and I like this change in direction and pace from mmo devs, so yes, for me, I believe GW2 (and TSW) have grabbed the helm and put the genre in a direction towards better waters.
Edit: My first post and my spacing was all messed up. >.<

I don't know about a saviour, I'm not sure the genre needs saving really. I do think it might offer up some ideas about direction for future games if it succeeds.
The article mentions posts were people suggest that DE's may become stale. I think it's safe to say that DE's couldn't possibly be more stale than what we currently see in WoW and it's copies. I for one am sick of doing a guild run through the latest raid, which takes one night once you have it sussed, and then being locked out for the rest of the week, leaving you with nothing to do but PUGs, dailiy's and rep grinding.
I think the LFR feature in WoW does nothing to help the communtiy at all, it practically destroys the idea of guilds. Who needs a guild if you can PUG everything? The same was true of the LFD in Lich King and the PUGs for Naxx.
I could go on but I'll stop. This is about GW2 not WoW. Suffice to say that I for one think that there's enough going on in GW2, both PvE and PvP, to keep Guilds busy and together. Something I've been missing for a long time in some other MMO's.

It won't be the savior mainly because the MMO market doesn't need saving. We're going through a MMO "second renaissance" with a slew of top tier quality mmo's being released all within a year of each other.
Say what you will of SWTOR, SW,O MWO, Firefall, Wildstar and MOP but they all are great, quality titles with maybe not original ideas, but polished ones much like GW2.
Original ideas are overrated quite honestly, so is the thought gamers can best create their own content (omg is that a shot at sandbox games? heaven forbid) - especially on this site.
I'm playing GW2 right now and having a blast, probably the most fun I've ever had in my 12 years playing MMOs, but no it is not a savior.
As proof I'm enjoying it and not a troll I even wrote a blog post about my intial reaction...

End game exist, its just different an a little shallow. Since GW2 has a group scaling event, its easy for ANET to change any zone into a raid zone through simple scaling and injecting more mobs. Look at the island of Ore, which is set up as a massive end game PvE Warfront type zone. Every zone in the game can become like Ore. Then you have dungeons with dungeon exclusive armor with cool looks and legendary weapons.
If most people thikn end game = gear grind hamster wheel then there is a problem with the industry.

I think part of the issue and the reason why zealots crowds react the way they are is, in the past, too many games has been killed by WoW zealots and secret agents jumping into other games forum and game review websites and wilfully sabotage the reputation of games other than WoW - and it has happened many, many times before.
I personally do not think GW2 is the savior of mmo but I do think it is capable of finally be a game that's able to put MMORPG market back int contested territory, instead of the absolute monopoly of WoW.

The problem with Azuriel's blog post is that he completely ignores the fact that even though Dynamic Events, WvW and the End-game maybe not be perfect they are still leaps and bounds better than the current alternative.
He commits the Nirvana Fallacy: "the logical error of comparing actual things with unrealistic, idealized alternatives."
For example, Azuriel claims that Dynamic Events are boring if there are no other players around to do them with but he ignores the fact that every single themepark MMO has the same questing mechanics yet are extremely restrictive in how you may play with others. How is regular questing better in any way when it is the same thing but with annoying and arbitrary quest givers, zero consequence on the world and no player scaling?
The same goes for WvW. Sure, it may be a zergfest some of the time or require you to bash on doors for a while, but where is this fabled game that has mass-scale PvP that doesn't have the exact same flaws?
Long story short, you don't have to be perfect to still be the best. GW2 is obviously not perfect but it is still the best option when you compare it to its competition (varying with personal taste of course).

There is also a vocal minority of people who get off by crapping all over any new release but that's a topic for a different subject altogether. Most of the people I've ran into in GW2 seemed like normal, decent folks. Most were helpful and I haven't really ran into any douchenozzles. Combine that with the fact that ArenaNet is very strict with their naming and chat violation policies and the atmosphere in the game is generally friendly and helpful.

This is a new concepts ppls the game just started officially like any other launch, except d3 that was the worst of them all. This game need to run a little bit give it a month of 2 and than just maybe another discussion can be done regarding this game and about how much time will last.

Last week, CloudWorld09 Expo took place in San Francisco and GoGrid's CEO, John Keagy, did a presentation titled "How To Get Started in the Cloud" to a fully packed room in one of the sessions at the Expo.
The speaker abstract was as follows:
The Cloud Computing phenomenon is happening NOW – it's a reality and can provide more flexibility for your web hosting – faster, easier and at a lower cost. Companies do not need to own their own server hardware or network infrastructure anymore. The ease of scaling up or out when the need arises, the speed which new web applications can be designed, prototyped, tested, and deployed, and the inherent cost savings (CapEx to OpEx) are truly attractive. Cloud Computing is not just a buzz term we are hearing more and more, but the next wave of hosting infrastructure. As the Cloud continues to gain acceptance, developers, designers, sysadmins and IT professionals need to understand the advantages, best practices and how to get started using Cloud Computing.
In this session, John Keagy, founder and CEO of GoGrid discussed:
- What is Cloud Computing – The Cloud Pyramid
- The Benefits of Cloud Computing & Hybrid Hosting
- What can Cloud Computing do for me and my business
- The Competitive Landscape & Key Differentiators
- Cost Savings of Cloud Computing – pay only for what you need
- How to determine when to utilize Cloud Computing
- How should you get started using the Cloud?
- How to identify what to put in the cloud first
The presentation is available below as well as on SlideShare.

71 Year-Old Former Army Champion Boxer Floors Thug Half His Age
Former Army boxing champion, 71, floors 6ft 4in thug half his age after being punched in the face in attack
By Becky Evans
A 6ft 4ins thug who attacked a man more than twice his age was left with a dislocated shoulder after the pensioner floored him with two right hooks.
Former Army boxing champion John Cokeley said Mark Pearce 'picked on the wrong man'.
The 71-year-old was at home watching TV in his slippers when he heard Pearce rowing with a neighbour.
Mr Cokeley went outside and told Pearce to calm down when the 34-year-old punched him in the face, Exeter Crown Court heard.
Pearce hit Mr Cokeley in the head, smashing his glasses and causing a black eye.
But the pensioner, a professional welterweight undefeated in the Army, got to his feet and floored Pearce with a 'roundhouse blow'.
Pearce managed to get up but Mr Cokeley, who is 5ft 10ins, floored him for a second time with a punch to the stomach.
Mark Pearce leaves Exeter Crown court in Devon after being found guilty of causing actual bodily harm
Pearce denied causing actual bodily harm, claiming he was attacked by the ex-boxer and was acting in self-defence.
But he was found guilty today and sentenced to a six month prison sentence suspended for two years.
Pearce was also given a 12 month supervision order and ordered to pay £175 costs.
Speaking after the hearing, Mr Cokeley, who served around the world in the Army from 1957 to 1968, said: 'It was 10.15pm and I was watching TV.
'I could hear a lot of shouting outside and I realised it was coming from my friends home and he is not a well man so I went to have a look.
'My friend was in the doorway and this man, who I hadnt seen before, was shouting from about 12ft away.
'He came over to me with his arms out and said "do you want to get involved?". He was shouting and swearing at me.
'I told him I didnt want to get involved, I just wanted some peace and quiet.That was when he hit me quite hard. He said "do you want some of this?".
'I said no, Im going to call the police and he hit me again. Then I thought enough is enough, so I threw out a right and he went down.
'He ran back at me and I hit him a good hard blow in the side. He stayed down and then the police came.
'I was in slippers and wearing glasses. It is hardly fighting gear. A fight was the last thing I wanted.

Matthew Perry Sells Hollywood Home at Discount — Check It Out
It's a good thing Matthew Perry has plenty of Friends money.
According to Redfin.com, the Go On star sold his Hollywood home for $4,685,000. That sounds good but, according to The Hollywood Reporter, it's a lot less than his original $5.5 million asking price. He supposedly bought the 4,100-square-foot home in 2008 for $4.48 million, so at least he got more than he originally paid. Just not much more. Remember when things used to steadily go up in value over time?
Here's the official listing on the 3 bedroom/3.5 bath home:
"Situated on a cul-de-sac street in the Hollywood Hills this sleek and sophisticated architectural home makes a bold yet refined statement. Gleaming white terrazzo floors and disappearing walls of glass open onto the patio and pool and look out over the city beyond. Exceptional views encompass the city lights and landmarks as well as dramatic canyon views of protected hillside. Featuring three bedrooms, a chic gourmet kitchen, indoor and outdoor fireplaces and a home theater. This is an exceptional contemporary estate."
Check out some photos here. Somebody got a good deal!

July 29, 2010
Revised Grading Policies in Effect
As announced in the March 2010 edition of What's New? (For Students), new grading policies went into effect at the beginning of Summer 2010. The new policies, which are also detailed in the Transcript Legend on the back of the official CGU transcript, affect students in a number of ways.
About the W Grade. The Withdrawn (W) grade is not a punitive grade, but rather an historical event indicator. W signifies that the student withdrew from a course after the deadline date for withdrawals in the semester. The grade is not negative and does not impact a student's grade point average (GPA). When asked to explain a W grade on a transcript, students should seize the opportunity to demonstrate their skills in exercising a prudent evaluation of priorities, making judgments about competing commitments, or in communicating other compelling reasons for the withdrawal action taken.
Incomplete Grades for Management
Effective Summer 2010, Management students and courses will comply with campus regulations regarding Incomplete (I) grades. Campus policy on Incomplete grades provides a period of one year from the end of the semester in which the course is originally taken for students to submit outstanding work.
Previous to Summer 2010, Management students and courses were limited to a period of one semester for the submission of outstanding coursework on an Incomplete grade.
This change affects all new Incomplete grades. Current Incomplete grades are not automatically extended. To request additional time to complete outstanding work, students must submit a Petition for Extension of Incomplete Grade to the Registrar's Office. Please note that this petition may only be submitted while the grade on the course is Incomplete (I).
Transdisciplinary Courses
The 2010-11 Bulletin announced a change to the administration of enrollments in Transdisciplinary (T-) courses. Any student may now enroll in a T- course at any time. Unless limited by your program, you may take as many T-courses as you wish. Enrollment petitions for Masters students are no longer necessary. Doctoral students must still enroll in a T-course during their first 48 units at CGU.
Annual Notification - FERPA
On an annual basis, the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) requires institutions to remind all students in attendance of their rights under the Act. These civil rights, which ensure the privacy of your education records, are detailed on our Student Privacy (FERPA) webpage. Questions about your FERPA rights may be referred to firstname.lastname@example.com or to the registrar.
Ethnicity Reporting
Federal education and financial aid regulations require institutions to update their demographics on a regular basis. Beginning July 29, when you sign into the student portal, domestic students will be asked to update their ethnicity data for this purpose. Once you update or confirm your ethnicity, you will not be presented with the ethnicity screen on subsequent visits to your student portal during this reporting period.
Your cooperation in CGU's compliance with this government requirement is greatly appreciated.
Students Rights and Responsibilities
Developed as a guide for the orientation of new students, the Student Rights and Responsibilities webpage, a link from the registrar's webpage, summarizes important information for all new and continuing students. Please review this page regularly and use it as a checklist for maintaining an informed relationship with CGU.
Student Academic Calendar Made Simple
To make the Academic Calendar more user friendly for students, individual calendars for each semester are now posted on the Academic Calendar page. The dates for each term have been divided to specify general calendar dates, dates applicable to enrollment transactions, refund deadlines, and deadlines for those intending to graduate.
Electronic Dissertation Processing
During the 2010-11 academic year, the Registrar's Office will be implementing a process for electronic submission of doctoral dissertations. The new process will reduce or eliminate the printing costs to students and expedite availability of your published dissertation. Details will be available later in the Fall semester.

Life Chain is a peaceful and prayerful public witness of pro-life Americans taking a stand in their community for an end to abortion, and the event took place in Gray Jan. 20.
The community's first Life Chain demonstration took place in 2012, and an estimated 200 people lined both sides of Gray Highway with signs asking for an end to abortion.
The turnout this past weekend was not up to those numbers, but the people who did line the highway made up for it with their excitement and dedication.
Roe v. Wade became law in 1973 and continues to be a controversial issue. That Supreme Court decision overturned a Texas interpretation of abortion law and made abortion legal in the United States.
In 2012, over 1,500 cities and towns held Life Chains in over 1,700 locations. The first event took place in 1987, in the small sister towns of Yuba City and Marysville, Calif.
Dr. Steve Albanese, pastor of First Baptist Church of Gray, was the chairman of Jones County's Life Chain and said plans are already being made for next year's event.

Building a stout power plant for your muscle car is usually the first step in the build. Calculating horsepower and torque helps navigate chassis and suspension set-up as well as transmission and differential needs.
When building a small-block mouse or big-block rat for your pride and joy there are a few roads you can travel. You can pick up a donor block and head for the machine shop, or you can purchase a brand new engine block from Dart Machinery and skip the worries of paper-thin cylinder walls from numerous bore jobs and potential cracks revealed after the hot tank and magna flux sessions. Consider the cost involved with using an original equipment used block. (more…)

Dear Editor,
Concern citizens of Williamsburg County I am disturb about these tree shade carpenters that are unlicensed, unskilled and they are very smart at deceiving the public, their customers by getting a sustainable amount of money upfront, their prime targets are mostly women and the elderly.
Some of their tactics are to first begin the job knowing that the city or county code enforcement officer will put a stop order on the work which will give them leave way to keep the down payment that will result in a breach of contract for you. I think the solution to the problem is for the public to first ask to see their licenses, ask for reference of previous customer and check with the city or county code enforcement before you sign a contact or give them any money upfront. Also be aware, be very aware that some of their labor workers could be a rapist, a home invader, a pedophile, or a drug addict. A safety precaution is to always check your residence doors, windows, immediately after the work has stop for the day to make sure there is no tampering for easy access at a later date and time. Another precaution is when you observe construction going on at any location you can call the city or county code enforcement officer to come and inspect the operation making sure it is up to code.

Culbreath: Overview of MAC Basketball PreseasonWritten by Matt 'Shaggy' Culbreath | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Admittedly, basketball isn't really my bag. I'm a football and hockey kinda guy. When it comes to roundball, I prefer to watch it on campus rather than in the pros, and of course that means I prefer Midnight Blue and Gold basketball over everything else.
But an interesting thing happened this week when the Mid-American Conference preseason basketball polls came out this week. Something we haven't seen in a while: the women's team was picked to finish lower than the men's team. The men were picked to win the MAC West (much like they did last year, tying with Western Michigan, despite the conference's insistence that they were ineligible), while the women were picked third in the MAC West.
Yes, it would be awesome if both teams were picked to win the West at the same time. But, the statement alone is a great testament to both the success that Coach Tricia Cullop has had the past few years with the women, but also to the turnaround that Coach Tod Kowalcyk has managed for the guys.
Coach Cullop's team falls a little bit in the eyes of the media voters for one reason and one reason only: losing that unbelievable class of seniors. Led by Naama Shafir, they graduated as the winningest class in Toledo history. They really were that good. But don't let that missing group of ladies fool you, this team still has talent. 7 returning letterwinners, in fact, led by senior Andola Dortch and junior Inma Zanougera. Both Dortch and Zanougera were named to the Preseason All-MAC squad. They're joined by seniors Briana Jones and Janelle Reed-Lewis, junior Stephanie Recker, and sophomore Ana Capotosto. 5 freshman also join the team, and should get time as the season goes on. I'll admit, I think that pick to finish third is a little bit of an insult, and expect the women's team to jam that pick down the writers' throats.
On the men's side of the ball, those brutal 4-win seasons seem a long time ago. Nearly unanimously picked to win the MAC West (which one of you voted for Eastern Michigan?), and led by senior Rian Pearson and junior Julius Brown (both named to the Preseason All-MAC team), along with other familiar names like Matt Smith and Nathan Boothe. But there are more than a few names being added to the team this year: transfers JD Weatherspoon (from Ohio State) and Justin Drummond (from Loyola) are now eligible to play and are chomping at the bit to get it going. And let's not forget the 4 freshman who join the team this year, just as hungry to help the team win. While they weren't picked to win it all (Akron got that nod), this is definitely a team built to compete hard, and for once we may have some parity between the MAC East and West.
The regular season starts for both of these programs next Saturday at Savage Arena: the Women will play Drexel in the Glass City Tournament at around 2:30, followed by the Men's squad hosting Northwestern Ohio at about 7. I expect nothing but great things for both teams. I also expect nothing but great support for the community all year long. If you thought the past couple of years of Rockets basketball have been pretty good, the good stuff has just begun at Savage Arena.

Unique and Effective!
By Kristin
from Chicago, IL
About Me Education Oriented
This unique and concise anatomy poster is unlike any I've seen before. In one clear, colorful image, the viewer can examine the skeleton, muscles, digestive system, cardiopulmonary structures, and all their relationships to one another. These body systems are overlaid on one another and are visible from different angles; as the viewer moves from side to side in front of the poster, body systems gradually appear in view, each slightly overlapping the last. This is a unique and effective way to demonstrate not only the forms and locations of these structures, but also their important relationships to one another. In addition, the body system illustrations are overlaid on a photograph of a human figure, demonstrating the relationships between surface body detail and underlying structures. The poster shows both anterior and posterior views of the body and thoroughly details the organ systems from these views. Finally, the poster is colorful, attractive, and just plain fun for anatomy students! I'm happy to have it in my classroom.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Inquiry-based learning through a poster!
By Kirsten
from Carmel, CA
This is such a great poster! My fifth grade students love it! The younger kids come in to look at the poster as well. What I like about it is the way it starts so many unique conversations between the children. They challenge each other to name parts of the body or try to remember which part of the body goes where. They do this from one angle. Then they switch places and determine which muscles and bones are in the same area. While this poster does not teach the human body with labels, it ignites the curiosity in the children to look up what they are seeing. It is definitely a crowd pleaser in my class. I find kids going back to the poster again and again.
Nice Visual Aid!!
By Chris Mathematics Teacher
from Erie, PA
Wow this was a hoot to introduce to my class! Initially I placed it up as just a decoration, and that was enough to get a big positive reaction out of the students. As it remained on the wall I have used it as a reference tool several times. The colorful and bold display makes it easy to point out organs and bones. It truly has helped me emphasize the complexity of our bodies in a fun and engaging way. I know it will be used over and over in my STEM lessons as a quick reference tool. For the purpose it serves and how I use it, it is a great addition to my classroom decorations and visual supplements.
Extremely Educational!

About Me Teacher
In teaching Biology/Advanced Biology and Health, this teaching poster was very eye-catching for my students and was noticed by all the very first day of hanging. It is a wonderful tool to create enthusiasm in the learning process of students and when displayed, it can be viewed from a long distance. It is nice to have something very different (a conversation piece) in my classroom. Hope more posters like this are in the works!!
Merchant response: Thanks, Scooter - what a magical review!
Amazing to look at!
By Cher @ Mom and More
About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children
When I was younger I was fascinated with skeletons, organs and basically just our internal structures. I had to rely on books back then but now there is an amazing poster by Educational Insights that I can share with my boys. While my boys are young still, they know they have bones inside and this poster is great to reference for all ages. The poster is thicker cardboard so it is durable and will last. By looking at the poster you can see so many different things that it is truly amazing to look at. My boys are amazed at everything they have inside them and when they get older this will be a great reference tool for them when they are working on homework. Whether you have a child fascinated with the human body, want a great poster to display, or want this for your classroom, I highly recommend this poster. There is nothing I don't like about it!
Merchant response: Thanks, Cher!

ICBA Applauds Fed on Trust Preferred Proposal
Washington, D.C. (May 7, 2004) - Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) today applauded the Federal Reserve Board for its proposal to retain trust preferred securities in the tier 1 capital of bank holding companies, albeit with stricter quantitative limits and clearer qualitative standards.
As the Federal Reserve noted in its proposal, poolings of trust preferred securities have permitted many small bank holding companies for the first time to access the capital markets for tier 1 capital, which larger bank holding companies have long enjoyed. ICBA had urged the Federal Reserve to preserve tier 1 capital treatment for trust preferred securities following a recent controversial change in their accounting treatment.
"We commend the Federal Reserve Board for proposing to retain trust preferred securities as tier 1 capital," said ICBA President and CEO Camden R. Fine. "The issuance of trust preferred securities is often the only reasonable way a community bank can access capital markets. The Fed's proposal shows it appreciates the importance of these securities to community banks as a way to access capital."
Under the proposal, after a three-year transition period, the aggregate amount of trust preferred securities and certain other capital elements would be limited to 25 percent of tier 1 capital elements, net of goodwill.
ICBA will provide the Federal Reserve with any specific comments or concerns on the changes in the limits and standards after analyzing the rule more closely and conferring with its members.

thank you but really,I shudder at the name 'teacher'...I'm no teacher...but a sharer with all of what the Holy spirit teaches .
I think Paul writes against immoral homosexuality, not against the normal homosexuality. Specifically, I have read in Barclay's commentaries ... But when two men or two women love each other and are attracted to each other and it all goes the orderly way and Christ is honored and everything else then I think that homosexuality is ok and that gay marriage should come soon because it's a good thing.
condoning] is not loving. It is assisting down the road to destruction.
Right Lo. I have several homosexual acquaintances. We get along, the topic has never even been mentioned - just as if 2 unmarried people were living together in a sexual situation I'd figure it wasn't really any of my business unless it specifically came up, I was asked about it, etc. Then I'd be compelled to gently to the best of my ability share about sin and God's help available for it in our lives. I'd be obliged to say yes I believe it's sin, I have my own sin, and we're to take it to the Lord for help - not just explain it away or delude ourselves (and others) into thinking it's OK no matter what God says about it. But just to go out and be screaming at everybody about sin and trying to condemn them...nah, that's not what I'm talking about or how I personally believe it should be handled. But I do believe we need to seek to understand and believe the things God tells us, then share it when it's the time to do so - not before.

I know it has been awhile since I have posted any updates on my pregnancy. Not sure if everyone remembers but I delivered my first baby Olivia at 23 weeks and 6 days because of severe PE. I am happy to say that I have made it to one of my major milestones (27 weeks)! My bloodpressure is relatively good and my doctor says "I am coming along beautifully". Now I know this can change in an instant with PE and I am almost as surprised with my blood pressure readings as my OB.... but she hasn't had to increase or adjust any of my medications yet! I am praying that she doesn't have to either. I am trying to live in the momement and at the moment things couldn't be going any better. I just pray that things continue to go smoothly.
We do know that we are having another little girl whom we have named Emma Elizabeth Anne. She is very active and is growing right on target!
We could not be any happier right now.

Solar Heating
Solar heating can be an economical addition to modern home heating solutions
Solar energy can be used to heat a reservoir of water to slightly above ambient temperature; heat pumps and heat exchangers can then extract the energy for cheap hot water and heating
Large Energy Storage Tank
The secret to energy storage is in creating a large capacity storage solution with very efficient insulation to reduce energy losses to the surroundings
A small pump and thermostat system will control water flow and minimise energy losses
Solar Panel Installation
Popular panels to collect solar energy installed onto roofs or garden-based collectors to harness the sun's energy: Pumped Fluid or Electrical systems installed for homes in Plymouth
Types of Solar Energy Panels
Solar panels are available to translate the energy arriving from the sun into either:
- Heat - Generally, a water-based fluid is pumped across a heat absorbent panel where it increases in temperature; the heat is then extracted using a heat pump or passed across a heat exchanger to raise the temperature within a water storage tank
- Photovoltaic (PV) Energy or Electrical Power - Solar panels contain an array of photovoltaic cells made from one or two layers of a semiconducting material such as silicon
As sunlight shines on the cell, its energy creates a voltage change or an electrical field across the layers of semiconducting material that can be collected as electrical energy and stored in a bank of rechargeable batteries to power electrical devices
Combi Boiler Systems
What is the Difference between a traditional and combi boiler hot water system
The primary difference between a traditional boiler system and a combination "combi" boiler system is the way hot water is created and handled
Direct Heating
A combi boiler heats water directly as soon as it is required and does not need to rely on a tank containing pre-heated and stored water
Insulated Hot Water Storage Tank
Traditional hot water systems use a large insulated storage tank to store sufficient hot water for bathing and washing; Tanks often contain an electric water heater to make use of cheaper electricity overnight
Emergency Repairs to Heating Systems
What do you do when a radiator leaks or your boiler stops working?
Some things just need to get done straight away, if you know how to bandage or isolate a leaking joint you can minimise the damage caused by a leaking radiator but if your boiler packs in in the middle of Winter you need a gas engineer on hand pretty damn quick to get it sorted or find an economical solution
Frost Damage to Water & Heating Pipes?
If the water in your pipes has frozen and expanded then it has probably caused a split in the pipe; it may be possible to bandage the pipe to make a temporary repair but the section will have to be replaced and the exposed pipes should be insulated to prevent hat loss and the risk of frost damage in future
What happens if we accidentally put a nail through a water pipe or damage a joint or stopcock?
The first step is to stop the leak or prevent further damage to walls, floors and furnishings then get an emergency repair or replacement
Adding Radiators or Replacing Old Radiators
Increasing your living space and adding warmth
Many modern home owners in the Plymouth area prefer to create extra living space by adding a ground floor extension, loft room or garage-bedroom add on so it's no surprise to need the existing heating system extended too to add a new radiator in a bedroom or conservatory; it's also possible to replace old inefficient or outdated radiators with more efficient and fashionable radiators, towel rails or stainless steel designer features
Custom Radiators
Curved bay windows, designer bathrooms, modern kitchens, floor level heating: there are so many possibilities that most plumbing and heating outlets can't stock all the design possibilities, however, it is possible to construct very efficient radiators to utilise awkward spaces and match in with existing or desired design features
Gas Fitter Plymouth: Gas Fire Installation
Wall mointed Gas fire and Log Effect Gas Fire Installation
Modern gas fires installed and serviced to ensure correct ventillation and fuel-air ratios, gas fire parts replaced: new jets, valves and insulation

Kitchen Range Room Heaters
Multi Fuel Ranges
Multi fuel kitchen burners allow cooking and heating using renewable biomass fuel products
Kitchen Entertaining
Kitchen ranges can also become the focal point when entertaining guests on a Winter's evening
Solid Fuel Bio-Mass Heating for Greener Energy
