Finnair has received IATA's Pharma certificate as the first airline in the world
A high-quality, globally standardised service is essential to the transport of pharmaceuticals.
Finnair Cargo has passed IATA's Center of Excellence for Independent Validators in Pharmaceutical Logistics program (CEIV Pharma). Finnair joined the program under the successful Brussels Airport CEIV Pharma Community approach, as Brussels is Finnair Cargo's 2nd hub.
Pharmaceuticals (e.g. vaccines, biotech medicines) are among the most delicate products transported as air cargo, and therefore, it is essential to ensure their transport follows a global standard and strict temperature control guidelines.
The certificate was presented to Finnair Cargo in conjunction of the laying of the cornerstone of Finnair's new cargo terminal, the COOL Nordic Cargo (CNC) hub. The new state-of-the-art terminal will feature separate temperature controlled areas for the handling of pharmaceuticals as well as other perishables foodstuffs.
Skytrax: Finnair the Best Airline in Northern Europe for sixth year in a row
Finnair has been named Northern Europe's Best Airline at the World Airline Awards for the sixth year running.
Finnair has been named Northern Europe's Best Airline at the World Airline Awards at the Paris Air Show, for the sixth year running. Organised by Skytrax, the recognition is based on an independent survey of some 18 million travellers from more than 160 countries. The oneworld alliance, to which Finnair belongs, was also named Best Airline Alliance for the third straight time.
Finnair is the first European airline to receive the Airbus A350 XWB aircraft. Last year Finnair also expanded its Lounges at Helsinki Airport, completed the installation of full-flat seats to the Business Class of its long-haul fleet, upgraded its inflight entertainment system, and collaborated with top Finnish chefs to create new Signature Menus in Business Class.
The World Airline Awards are regarded as the primary benchmarking tool for passenger satisfaction levels of airlines throughout the world. The survey covered more than 200 airlines and measured standards across more than 40 areas of airline front-line product and service.
Helsinki airport will be a quiet airport – number of announcements to be reduced
Flight information and passenger announcements made throughout the terminal will be discontinued from the beginning of June. Announcements at the departure gate and its surroundings, as well as public emergency announcements, will remain unchanged.
Passengers are requested to use the airport's schedule displays or an available mobile device or computer to monitor the gate and schedule information concerning their flight.
Boarding usually begins 30 to 60 minutes before the scheduled time of departure. The number of passengers on the flight is one of the factors affecting when you have to be at the gate. The bigger the plane, the earlier the boarding will usually start. Finnair gates close 15 minutes before departure.
The new practice is related to the Silent Airport project implemented by carriers and the airport. The aim of the project is to improve the comfort of the waiting areas and to reduce the stress caused by traveling. The objective is to minimize background noise and sense of hurry at the terminal by reducing the number of announcements.

Finnair has not initiated any such campaigns and is in no way affiliated with them. The authorities have been notified and we regret any inconvenience caused.

Finnair's new A350 XWB wins recognition for cabin design
Finnair has won a prestigious International Yacht & Aviation Award for the design of its new Airbus A350 XWB cabin interiors in Economy and Business Class. Finnair's A350 cabin, the creation of Helsinki-based dSign Vertti Kivi & Co, applies the design firm's Space Alive concept to dynamically change the colours, mood and atmosphere on board, easing customers on long-haul journeys into new time zones, destinations and seasons.
The bright and spacious cabin of the 297-seat A350 was recognised for excellence in design and passenger comfort in both cabin classes. Key factors in the selection of the A350 cabin interior were its fresh Nordic design, high quality materials and creative use of the aircraft's dynamic LED lighting system.
The International Yacht & Aviation Awards were given in Venice and are organised by design et al, a leading UK interior design magazine. Voting for the awards is open to industry professionals as well as readers, clients and customers.
Finnair offers more hand-baggage only fares on flights to Europe and the Middle East
Light ticket type available from 5 May on flights throughout Finnair's network in Europe and the Middle East.
Finnair's Light ticket type, a hand-baggage only fare, will be offered from 5 May on flights throughout Finnair's network in Europe and the Middle East, with the exception of Russia.
Light is the lowest-fare option in Finnair's ticket type offering. All other ticket types continue to include checked baggage.
If needed, checked baggage may be purchased in advance or at the airport. Paid in advance, the baggage charge is considerably lower than the airport baggage charge.
Finnair working together with Olympic Committee to support Finnish athletes
On 15 April 2015 the Finnish Olympic Committee and Finnair announced their cooperation to support top Finnish athletes towards the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. The support is targeted directly to athletes preparing for the Olympic and Paralympic Games and will ease their travel and lower costs.
Finnair opens sales for flights with all-new Airbus A350 XWB
Ticket sales for the first long-haul destinations to be served with Finnair's new Airbus A350 aircraft have been opened. Before taking the new aircraft to Asia, we will also operate crew familiarisation flights within Europe.
The first daily A350 service will start on 25 October 2015 to Shanghai, followed by Beijing, Bangkok, Hong Kong and Singapore later in 2015 and 2016.
Before the daily A350 services to Asia begin, we will conduct crew familiarisation flights throughout Europe during October 2015. The regularly scheduled commercial services will be operated as usual within the Finnair network but using the A350 instead of the usual narrow-body aircraft. This will make it possible for our passengers to experience the next generation of flying also in our short-haul traffic.
You can see the planned aircraft type of your flight by clicking on the flight number during the online booking process on our website, or by consulting your travel agent. Changes in aircraft type are possible for operational reasons.
"Our A350 investment program is the largest in the company's 92-year history. I can truly speak for all employees when I say we cannot wait to welcome passengers on board," says Finnair CEO Pekka Vauramo.
Finnair has 19 Airbus A350 aircraft on order, and we expect to receive the first four by the end of this year. Another seven will be delivered in 2016 and 2017, with the remaining eight to be delivered between 2018 and 2023.
Finnair invests in Wi-Fi connectivity across its fleet
Finnair will introduce its first onboard Wi-Fi service in autumn 2015.
Finnair Board of Directors has approved an investment program for bringing Wi-Fi connectivity to the majority of Finnair's wide-body and narrow-body fleet. The total value of the investment is approximately 30 MEUR.
Finnair will introduce its first onboard Wi-Fi service in autumn 2015, with the arrival of the first Finnair A350 XWB aircraft. In 2016, the company will start Wi-Fi installations in Finnair's Airbus A330 long-haul aircraft as well as its European short-haul Airbus fleet. Installations are expected to be completed by 2018.
Finnair to open routes to Umeå, Luleå, Norrköping and Visby in Sweden
Finnair opens new routes to Sweden on 18 May 2015 with daily flights to Luleå and Umeå on the coast of the Gulf of Bothnia during the summer season 2015. Flights are operated by Flybe.
Finnair is also taking over routes previously marketed by Flybe Finland from Helsinki to Visby on Gotland Island and to Norrköping in central Sweden. Flights to Norrköping are available daily and to Visby three times a week during the summer season. Finnair also operates several daily frequencies to Stockholm and Gothenburg.
Finnair opens a route to Gdansk
Starting 11 May 2015 Finnair opens a daily route to Gdansk, Poland. A charming and historic port on the Baltic coast, Gdansk is an ideal city break destination, and also a gateway to the nearby spa and beach town of Sopot.
The service is sold with Finnair's flight number, and it will be operated by Flybe Finland with ATR 72 aircraft. The new destination offers better connections from Finland to Poland, and good connections to Finnair's destinations in Asia for Polish passengers.
In addition to Gdansk, Finnair flies daily to Warsaw year-round and to Krakow from 2 April until 22 October 2015.
Improvement to Finnair Plus program: lower costs for European Classic award flights
Finnair Plus now offers even better benefits for Finnair Plus members as after 8 January 2015 Finnair Plus members can book Classic award flights to Europe, Tel Aviv and Dubai without having to pay the fuel surcharge fee.
"Finnair Plus members are important to us, and we want to continue to offer them even better benefits," says Johanna Jäkälä, Director for Finnair Plus. "Flight awards are the most popular way to use Finnair Plus points, and now our customers get better value for their points."
The surcharge has ranged between 15–40 euros per direction within Europe. The amount of Finnair Plus points needed for Classic award flights remains the same, in addition to which the passenger has to pay for the necessary taxes and other governmental charges.
New benefits to Finnair Platinum and Gold tier members when flying with oneworld carriers
oneworld alliance has added two more benefits for the most loyal customers of its member airlines from the beginning of December.
Both Finnair Plus Platinum and Gold members benefit from the priority baggage delivery when flying on any oneworld member airline in any travel class. Finnair Plus Gold members can also take advantage of additional checked baggage allowance as follows:
- 15 kg in addition to the ticketed Economy Class allowance on international or domestic itineraries using the baggage allowance weight system.
- A second bag, weighing up to 23 kg, when the ticketed allowance is one bag on international itineraries (including domestic sectors flown as part of international itineraries) using the baggage allowance piece system.
- The assurance of at least one piece of checked baggage, weighing up to 23 kg, even when the regular ticketed allowance has no free allowance on purely domestic itineraries with flights using the baggage allowance piece system.
Platinum members already have the additional checked baggage allowance benefit.
"oneworld aims to be the first choice airline alliance for regular international travellers. Our frequent flyer benefits – which we believe are already the most compelling offered by any airline alliance – provide them with the highest levels of recognition, services and benefits when they need to travel beyond their home airline's own network", said Bruce Ashby, oneworld Chief Executive.
Find out more about the benefits on www.oneworld.com.
Finnair firms up orders for eight additional A350 aircraft
Finnair has firmed up the eight Airbus A350 XWB aircraft options in its 2006 A350 order placed with Airbus. The eight A350s will be delivered to Finnair starting in 2018. At Airbus list prices, the value of the additional eight A350 aircraft would be approximately €1.9 billion. The firm up of the options increases the total number of Finnair's A350 orders to 19.
Finnair's current long-haul fleet consists of seven A340 aircraft and eight A330 aircraft. The long-haul fleet is planned to grow, on average, by one new-generation energy-efficient aircraft per year between 2016 and 2020. Based on the current delivery schedule of A350s, Finnair will receive the first four aircraft in the second half of 2015, seven A350s between 2016 and 2017, and eight A350s between 2018 and 2023. Finnair plans to phase out its A340 aircraft by the end of 2017, following the successful delivery and entry into service of A350 XWB. As a part of the deal Airbus has also agreed to acquire four A340-300 aircraft currently owned by Finnair in 2016 and 2017.

Finnair named to environmental A List for action on climate change
The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) has awarded Finnair a position on The A List: The CDP Climate Performance Leadership Index 2014, for actions to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the business risks of climate change.
The index presents 187 listed companies identified as demonstrating a superior approach to climate change mitigation. Finnair is the only airline awarded an A grade for its climate performance, earning a position on this global ranking of corporate efforts to mitigate climate change.
Finnair is on track to reduce per-seat CO2 emissions by 24 percent between 2009 and 2017. The airline's actions to reach this target and improve its environmental performance include:
- Flying with a modern, fuel-efficient fleet. In 2013 Finnair was the global launch customer of Airbus A321 with fuel-saving Sharklets and next year will be the European launch customer of the next-generation A350XWB, which will be approximately 25 per cent more fuel-efficient (and less carbon intensive) than the previous generation of aircraft.
- Strict "weight watching" of aircraft, including flying with ultra-light ULDs (unit load devices, or cargo containers) that save more than 2.5 million kg of CO2 emissions every year.
- Continuous Descent Landings and other operational measures to limit fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
- Exploring the development (with partners in the value chain) of a biofuel hub at Helsinki Airport
- In 2013, consolidating its offices and moving to a new LEED Platinum-certified head office near Helsinki Airport.
The A List: CDP Climate Performance Leadership Index 2014, along with the climate disclosures of all companies publicly taking part in CDP's climate change program this year, is available on CDP's website.
Finnair and Marimekko continue collaboration with new special livery
The design collaboration between Marimekko and Finnair takes a new step as a Finnair Airbus 330 will soon feature a previously unseen blue colorway of Marimekko's classic Unikko ("poppy") print. The plane will fly from Finnair's Helsinki hub to the airline's long-haul destinations starting from the end of 2014, joining a sister aircraft painted in a different Unikko colorway in 2012.
"During this year we have been celebrating the fifty years of our most iconic pattern Unikko all over the world, reminding people of its story of courage and faith in oneself. We are very excited to continue the celebrations and our design partnership together with Finnair with the new Anniversary Unikko that will fly on the sides of Finnair's Airbus 330, delighting people around the world," says Tiina Alahuhta-Kasko, Marimekko's COO.
The design collaboration between Marimekko and Finnair began in 2012 and Marimekko for Finnair textiles and tableware were brought to all of the Finnish airline's aircraft in 2013. The collection was designed according to the airline's needs by Marimekko designer Sami Ruotsalainen, in original Marimekko patterns by Maija Isola. The blue, green and grey colours and the classic prints used in the collection tell the story of Finnish nature and recall the perspective of looking out from an aircraft window, flying high above the landscape.

Finnair to offer air-to-rail connection between Helsinki and St. Petersburg with VR
Finnair and Finnish railway operator VR are cooperating to offer combined air-and-rail tickets between St. Petersburg and international destinations connecting via Helsinki.
Combined air-and-rail tickets will enable passengers flying throughout Finnair's network in Europe, Asia and North America to connect to and from St. Petersburg on a high-speed Allegro train. Finnair begins selling the combined tickets on 1 October 2014, and the first Allegro train connection with AY code will be on 1 December 2014.
The train ride between Helsinki's Central Railway Station and St. Petersburg's Finland Station takes 3 hours and 36 minutes. Passport and customs procedures are carried out on board the train while en route, saving customers' time and allowing for a smooth passenger experience. The ticket also allows stopovers in Helsinki, enabling customers with business in both cities to make a single booking while also giving leisure travellers the opportunity to take time to explore the Finnish capital region.
"We believe intermodality offers interesting potential for enhancing connections for travellers", says Finnair CEO Pekka Vauramo.

This is the first accolades of the season for Matador golfers in 2010-11. Delio also earned Big West Golfer of the Month honors in October of 2009. This is the Matador women's first Golfer of the Month award since Ashlee Nagamine earned the award in Novermber of 2009.
Delio posted a pair of top-10 finishes in two tournaments in October, including an individual championship at Cal State Northridge's Bill Cullum Invitational (Oct. 25-26). Delio's first place finish at the Bill Cullum Invitational was his best career finish in the tournament, he was second in 2009, and fourth individual win of his career. Delio opened the month with a sixth-place finish at the Santa Clara Cabo Collegiate (Oct. 2-4). For the month, the senior from Valencia, Calif., averaged 70.33 strokes over six rounds, which included three rounds in the 60's.
"I'm really happy for Nick," said head coach Jim Bracken. "He had a great month so this is a well deserved honor. We hope there are more top finishes to come for Nick in the spring."
Kimura opened her month by winning the Cal Poly Firestone Grill Invitational (Oct. 4-5) at Monarch Dunes G.C. with a three-round score of (+8) 221. Her best round of the tournament came in the opening round as she fired a (+1) 72 which helped propel the Matadors to their second consecutive Firestone Grill team title. The junior from Covina, Calif., then finished eighth in a solid field at New Mexico State's Price's "Give `Em Five" Invitational (Oct. 11-13). Kimura recorded her second straight top-20 finish as she placed 18th with a three-round (+6) 222.
"I'm extremely proud of Kylie," said head coach Bonnie Murphy. "She's so deserving of this honor. After sitting out all of last season, she was really eager to got out and compete this year and all of her hard work this summer has really paid off."
The Matador women will play one final fall tournament as they look to defend their title at the Lamkin Grip/Cal Poly Invitational at Cypress Ridge G.C. in Arroyo Grande (Nov. 1-2). The men's team is done for the fall but Delio will be competing at the Western Refining College All-America Golf Classic Nov. 22-23 El Paso Country Club.

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - The Cal State Northridge women's basketball team (5-19, 2-9 BWC) dropped a 57-53 decision to UC Irvine Wednesday night in at The Matadome. Northridge held a 51-46 lead with 4:29 left in the game, but saw the Anteaters finish the game on a 11-2 run to escape with their third league victory of the season.
After trailing for most of the first half, the Matadors closed on a 9-0 run to lead 26-25 at halftime. Senior Tonicia Tademy scored 12 of her 14 points in the frame on 4-of-7 shooting from the field and 4-of-5 from the free throw line. She added a game-high seven assists and now has 156 dimes for the season.
In the second half, CSUN led by as many as seven points following a lay-up from Jasmine Erving with 6:26 left in the game. The freshman finished with six points and five rebounds. However, UCI's Rebecca Maessen scored 21 points in the second half, including three 3-pointers, to finish with a game-high 26 points.
Both Katrina Thompson and Analee Viena-Lota finished with 11 points, grabbing six and seven rebounds, respectively. The two also recorded three steals each and combined to go 6-of-9 from the free throw line. Neeta SreeKanth scored all five of her points in the second half for Northridge.
As a team, CSUN shot 31.7 percent from the field and were out-rebounded, 47-33. The Matadors did force 24 UCI turnovers, scoring 23 points and held a 22-18 advantage in the paint.
Northridge wore pink for the game as part of the WBCA's Pink Zone to promote Breast Cancer awareness.
The Matadors return to action Saturday when they host Cal State Fullerton at 4 p.m. in The Matadome. Northridge defeated the Titans, 87-82, on Jan. 21. The game will be free to all high school students with a high school I.D.

MBA for Professionals Student Handbook - Honor Code and Student Conduct
Willamette University and the Atkinson Graduate School of Management expect honesty, integrity, good conduct, and professional behavior of all students, faculty and staff.
The Willamette University Standards of Conduct apply to the conduct of all students enrolled at Willamette University and are presented in the Willamette University Student Rights & Responsibilities.
The Atkinson School Honor Code applies to issues of academic honesty and professional behavior of students enrolled in the Atkinson School. The Atkinson School community formally approved the Atkinson School Honor Code during the 2012-13 academic year. The Atkinson School Honor Code:
- defines the shared expectations of academic integrity, ethical conduct and professionalism of all members of the Atkinson community
- sustains an environment of honor and trust among the members of the Atkinson School community
- gives students an important role in resolving issues of academic honesty and professional behavior.
The Atkinson Honor Code supplements, but does not replace, Willamette University policies related to student conduct. Incidents of conduct involving harassment, sexual misconduct, discrimination, violence, threats of violence, theft, damage to property, weapons, illegal use or abuse of alcohol or drugs, and failure to comply with the terms of any agreement or sanctions imposed in accordance with the Willamette University Student Rights & Responsibilities and Standards of Conduct will generally be processed through the Willamette University conduct process. However, the Atkinson School reserves the right to perform a preliminary investigation to assess whether the most appropriate process for the situation resides within the conduct procedures of the Atkinson School or the University. In these cases the designated administrator of the Atkinson School will work with the University's Director of Student Rights & Responsibilities to determine the jurisdiction.
Atkinson Graduate School of Management Honor Code
"The Atkinson Graduate School of Management (Atkinson) develops ethically responsible managers and leaders through a culture honoring the highest standards of academic integrity, ethical conduct, and professionalism. The Atkinson Honor Code sustains an environment of honor and trust in the Atkinson community.
Atkinson advocates for the values of Integrity, Human Dignity, Integration, and Excellence in fulfilling its mission of providing a premier management education for aspirants to management in the private, not-for-profit, and public sectors. Atkinson's adherence to Willamette University's motto -- Non nobis solum nati sumus (Not unto ourselves alone are we born) -- exemplifies a commitment to its stakeholders and community.
Honesty and integrity are essential qualities to the practice and profession of management and ought to guide all individual members in fully developing his or her potential. Atkinson's distinct culture demands a community of members who accept individual responsibility and excellence, compassion, professional and personal integrity, teamwork, drive, and passion.
All members must therefore agree to abide by and promote the following standards of professionalism and excellence that constitute our Honor Code:
- Not seek an unfair advantage over other members, including but not limited to giving or receiving unauthorized aid during completion of academic and professional requirements;
- To honestly represent one's self and facts at all times;
- To respect the personal and property rights of all members of the Atkinson community; and
- Uphold this Honor Code by fully cooperating with and protecting the privacy of the proceedings.
Atkinson members are expected to adhere to all policies and requirements of Willamette University and abide by all applicable laws and regulations.
Each member is responsible for his or her behavior in the academic and professional communities. For members of the Atkinson community, any violation of this Honor Code should result in disciplinary action."
Student Responsibilities Within the Honor Code
The Atkinson Honor Code is intended to sustain an environment of honor and trust, encourage each person to develop to his or her full potential, and promote a positive set of values and behaviors that distinguish members of the Atkinson community in their personal and professional lives.
It is the desire of the Atkinson School community to have a culture of honesty that prevents violations of the Honor Code before they occur, rather than to impose sanctions after a violation. This calls for all members of the community to encourage compliance with the Honor Code, whether it be in regard to their own actions or the actions of others as a community.
To encourage awareness, compliance and the positive effects of the honor code system, every member of the Atkinson School community (students, faculty and staff) will be asked to indicate their awareness of the Atkinson School Honor Code.
A discussion of expected academic and professional behavior of Atkinson School students is available in the segment of the Student Handbook titled "Expectations of Academic and Professional Behavior."
Honor Code Policies and Procedures
The Atkinson School Honor Code applies to academic honesty, the quality of the educational environment of the Atkinson School, professional behavior and group process. In the absence of a specific policy within these areas of behavior, the Honor Code standards of professionalism and excellence will be the default Atkinson School policy. As such, students are expected to:
- not seek an unfair advantage over other members, including but not limited to giving or receiving unauthorized aid during completion of academic and professional requirements;
- honestly represent one's self and facts at all times;
- respect the personal and property rights of all members of the Atkinson community; and
- uphold the Honor Code by fully cooperating with and protecting the privacy of the proceedings.
The Atkinson School has two processes through which it investigates Honor Code violations, determines responsibility and applies consequences to a student found responsible of a violation: 1) direct resolution between the student and the faculty member or administrator making the charge, and 2) a formal hearing of the Honor Code Council. All Honor Code processes will be conducted in a manner that protects the privacy of people involved in the case, to the best of our ability.
Consequences for a student found responsible for an academic or professional behavior violation of the honor code will vary based on the severity and type of violation, and may include (but are not limited to) one or more of the sanctions listed below. Any behavior found to be a violation of the honor code, is a violation of the honor code regardless of the severity of the violation or the severity of the consequence.
- verbal or written warning
- verbal or written reprimand
- required written statement by the student found responsible, acknowledging the violation and reaffirming his/her commitment to follow the honor code
- required submission of additional course work
- assignment of the grade of "F" for a course deliverable or test
- assignment of the grade of "F" for a course
- withdrawal from the course
- loss of scholarship
- behavioral probation (exclusion from participating in leadership activities, career management programs, courses involving travel to another site, and other activities in which the student would be seen as a representative of the university)
- skill building or training
- suspension for two semesters
- permanent dismissal from the MBA program
Recommendations for suspension or dismissal will automatically be reviewed by the Senior Associate Dean before enforced.
Atkinson Honor Council
The Honor Council promotes a culture of Honor at Atkinson, informs students about the code, and reports to the Atkinson School Student Affairs Committee. The Honor Council will be composed of five student voting members, and two advisory non-voting members to include one member of the full-time faculty and one administrator
When an alleged violation is referred to the Honor Council, the council will investigate the case, conduct the hearing of the case, and determine whether the student is responsible or not responsible for violating the Honor Code. If the student is found responsible, the council will determine consequences commensurate with the incident. The council will seek to make its decisions by consensus. When consensus is impossible, a majority vote will rule the decision.
Applying the Honor Code to Academic Honesty
Honor Code violations of academic honesty pertain to actions related to class deliverables, tests, team projects, presentations, papers, grading and attendance records, communication with the professor, etc. A discussion of expected academic behavior of Atkinson School students is available in the segment of the Student Handbook titled "Expectations of Academic and Professional Behavior."
Historically, academic honesty violations at the Atkinson School involve one or more students making a poor decision. Some violations have been deliberate and some have been unintentional. It is important to know that all violations, whether deliberate or unintended, will result in the process and consequences designated for violations of academic honesty.
A student found responsible for a second violation of academic honesty will generally be suspended or permanently dismissed from the Atkinson Graduate School of Management.
Honor Code violations of academic honesty pertain to actions related to seeking an unfair advantage over other members of a group or other groups; representing yourself or your group in a manner that does not communicate a truthful representation of the facts; and disrespecting the personal rights or property rights of others. Violations of academic honesty include but are not limited to the following:
Plagiarism: "Plagiarism" is the improper use of another person's ideas or words without acknowledgment. Examples of plagiarism include: 1) failing to use quotation marks when quoting from a source; 2) failing to document the source of distinctive ideas, or 3) fabricating or inventing sources.
Cheating: "Cheating" is using unauthorized materials or giving or receiving unauthorized assistance during an examination or other academic exercise. Specific examples of cheating include: 1) collaborating with another student on a deliverable, test, or other academic work beyond the level designated for the assignment; 2) copying the work of another student or permitting another student to copy your work during an examination or other academic exercise; 3) taking an examination or completing an assignment for another student or allowing another student to take your examination or complete your assignment; and 4) possessing unauthorized notes, study sheets or other materials during an examination.
Unauthorized Possession or Disposition of Academic Materials: Includes: 1) taking, selling or purchasing examinations or other academic work; 2) taking another student's academic work without permission; 3) facilitating academic dishonesty; and 4) submitting the same paper for two different classes without specific authorization from the two faculty members
Misrepresentation: Includes but is not limited to: 1) lying to a faculty member in regard to a course; 2) falsifying information, records or document.
Procedure for an Alleged First Violation of Academic Honesty
Procedure for an Alleged Second Violation of Academic Honesty
Applying the Honor Code to Professional Behavior
The Atkinson School values integrity, ethical conduct, teamwork and professional behavior as essential to personal and professional growth. As such, all members of the Atkinson community are expected to conduct themselves according to these tenets in all aspects of the Atkinson School experience and all interactions with peers, faculty, staff and guests of the Atkinson School.
Students are expected to engage in professional behavior that contributes to their academic and professional development as well as the good of the entire Atkinson community. While the definition of professional behavior may vary with different industries, an overview of professional behavior generally includes the following qualities.
- Behaving with integrity and honesty
- Communicating with courtesy and respect
- Meeting your commitments and responsibilities
- Recognizing and learning from your mistakes
- Respecting the personal and property rights of others
- Accepting and providing feedback for continuous improvement
- Maintaining professional behavior under stress
Designating expected professional behavior as part of the Honor Code provides guidelines for all members of the Atkinson community and establishes procedures through which issues of behavior will be addressed. A discussion of expected professional behavior of Atkinson School students is available in the segment of the Student Handbook titled "Expectations of Academic and Professional Behavior."
Honor Code violations of professional behavior pertain to actions related to seeking an unfair advantage over other members of a group or other groups; representing yourself or your group in a manner that does not communicate a truthful representation of the facts; disrespecting the personal rights or property rights of others, disrupting the educational process, and representing yourself in an unprofessional manner.
Addressing Professional Behavior Related to Group Process: All Atkinson students will be involved in many group and team projects while completing the MBA program. Group and team projects are essential components of the Atkinson experience and directly contribute to each student's personal and professional growth and success.
All members of the team or group must actively work to resolve disagreements and dysfunction that occur within the team. If a group is not successfully resolving group process issues, all members of the team must talk with the professor of the course and utilize policies and procedures stated in the course syllabus.
If a solution cannot be reached, the faculty member can refer the entire team to seek assistance (as a group) from the designated administrator. The administrator will listen to the team and offer options for improving professional behavior and group process. This assistance is for professional behavior and group process, only. At no time will group process mentoring interfere with course structures or policy.
If solutions are not reached, the faculty member may impose alternative methods of group resolution and equitable consequences, or forward the issue to the designated administrator if the faculty member believes the group process issues are related to honor code violations professional behavior by one or more members of the group.
Addressing Professional Behavior Related to Atkinson Classes, Programs, Activities and Events: Atkinson students, faculty and staff are encouraged to be proactive in discussing and resolving their concerns, differences, and misunderstanding with individuals informally. The accepted informal process for people concerned about the professional behavior of a student is as follows: First, communicate with the student involved in the concern. If this step is not possible or if it does not resolve the issue, communicate with the Atkinson professor or administrator connected with the course or activity in which the issues are occurring.
If the informal process does not resolve the concern, the reporting student, faculty or administrator should talk to the designated administrator about the concern.

Around 250 students from across the Lowcountry attended Fields of Faith at Cane Bay High School last week.
Fields of Faith was started in Kansas City, Mo to serve as a platform for students from different denominations to rally together according to its website.
It follows in the method by King Josiah to "bring many people together at one time, read scripture and share personal testimonies, and be challenged by fellow students to read the Word of God and to follow Jesus Christ," the website said.
Fellowship of Christian Athletes sponsor at CBHS Spanish teacher Ricky Reyes said students from Cane Bay Middle, Berkeley Middle College, Charleston Southern University and six high schools gathered on the football field, intended to be a neutral rally point.
"Knowing there were over 450 other schools all meeting at the same time praying for their friends, classmates, schools, teams and country (made this event significant)," he said.
There was praise and worship music, scripture reading and student testimonies according to Reyes.
"The reaction was awesome. The students said they had a great time and wanted to have more events like this one," he said.

FORT WALTON BEACH — Bill Robinson wants people to remember him as a person who did the right thing for the right reason during his 25 years as president and CEO of United Way Okaloosa/Walton.
"That's what it's all about. You do what you do because you enjoy it," Robinson said. "This organization is all about people helping people, and I've enjoyed being a part of that."
Robinson announced his retirement last week first to his eight staff members and then to the board of directors. He said this next week also will be spent letting volunteers with the organization know about the upcoming change.
"I was told once that when it's time, you'll know," Robinson said. "It's time."
The Memphis, Tenn., man started his career with the Boy Scouts of America, which brought him to Fort Walton Beach in the late '70s. A few years later, the opening for United Way's president opened and the rest, as he says, is history.
Since that time, Robinson says he has seen the nonprofit organization through highs and lows. For him, only the positive memories will remain.
"The good times overwhelm the bad times," he said. "What I'm most proud of is recruiting a board who saw a vision for United Way in their community.
"There were some concerns over the years with debt and the economy, but it's always been about the desire to support the community."
Robinson's final day will be June 30 — the same month as his 25-year anniversary. He said ideally the board will get a committee together within the next few weeks and Robinson's successor will be hired by mid-May, giving Robinson time to show his replacement the ropes.
Following his final days with United Way, Robinson said he's not entirely sure what he will be doing. But he knows staying at home is not an option.
"I'll drive my wife crazy if I'm at home and she'll drive me crazy," he said, laughing. "I've always been an advocate for nonprofits, so I'll be doing some volunteering.
"Exactly what I'll do remains to be seen, but I'm going to be doing something."

Follow the links for the entire articles. Didn't see this posted here yet, jeeeeez he technically is a Viacom employee.....Bellator fighter War Machine tweets about 'raping' girlfriend Christy Mack
By Zane Simon @TheZaneSimon on Aug 10 2013, 5:59p
Current Bellator fighter War Machine has once again displayed his own special brand of ignorance in a set of tweets about raping his current girlfriend Christy Mack.
Alright, I'll say this, I get what War Machine is doing here. He's using language casually, trying to be controversial and show that he doesn't play by the rules of modern society. But there's a point where attention grabbing slips from the desperate to the unconditionally terrible and this comes pretty close to crossing that line. War Machine posted a couple of tweets today about raping his girlfriend Christy Mack, because she wanted do get errands done (presumably before having sex). He defended his sentiments by saying that "Real men rape their wives and girlfriends."
Real men rape. ( Their GF's and wives, not strangers, don't get your panties in a bunch.) War Machine (@WarMachine170) August 10, 2013
Get it? He's a dominant man, so when he wants sex from a lover he takes it! He rapes her, because that's what a real man does...
Bellator has slowly been cutting ties with it's problem children of late, first releasing Brett Rogers, and then Maiquel Falcao and Paul Daley. Maybe it's time to cut all the dead weight and leave War Machine to go be a real man on the regional circuit.
UPDATE by Tim Burke: War Machine has now deleted the "real men rape" tweet, and added two more to explain that it was taken out of context:
Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney issues statement on War Machine's 'real men rape' tweet
By Brent Brookhouse @brentbrookhouse on Aug 11 2013, 12:08a
Bellator's CEO issues a statement following War Machine's tweets joking about "raping" his girlfriend and stating that "real men rape."
Earlier tonight War Machine tweeted out jokes about "raping" his girlfriend and then a follow up claiming that "real men rape." Bloody Elbow reached out to Bellator for a statement on the situation in the moments following those tweets.
Bellator released the following statement from CEO Bjorn Rebney moments ago:
I agree with those who found Jons earlier statement to be offensive and inappropriate. And, while his public apology ("I tweeted something earlier that was stupid, insensitive and wrong. Rape is never something to joke about ever. I sincerely apologize") surely does not excuse his statement, it does evidence his recognition of the seriousness of the situation and his realization that what he said was offensive, ignorant and hurtful. Since the day I entered this business, Ive believed that my job was to treat our fighters like human beings and not like property. Human beings make mistakes and sometimes say stupid things.
Im surely prepared to take action in warranted situations as evidenced by recent promotional contracts we have terminated with well-known, popular fighters who have committed assault and/or who have broken the law. But, in this situation, I remain hopeful that Jon will learn from his mistake, redeem himself and become a better man for it and I would like to give him that chance.
So it sounds like no action will be taken from this point.

Bryanna Clark Grogan's Vegan Feast Kitchen/ 21st Century Table: The kitchen journal of a vegan food writer.. I'm on Facebook and Twitter (see links in sidebar at right).
Thursday, August 4, 2011
August 19th of last year I wrote the following:
"Lucuma is a Peruvian fruit and, as many of you may know, my father was Peruvian. I remember lucuma ice cream from my three months in Peru as a six-year-old. Lucuma is a fruit with a quite dry texture, so it isn't eaten as a fruit, per se. Mostly it is used for a delectable, rich ice cream. Lucuma is rather sweet and has a butterscotch-y sort of flavor. When I was in Vancouver last, I found a store with Peruvian foods and bought some frozen lucuma puree-- what a coup, I thought!
... I worked out a recipe based on my vanilla gelato recipe made with Instant Clearjel, with the help of a (non-vegan) recipe from the internet. After splattering the kitchen with soy cream after a little accident (Mercury is in retrograde-- what can I say?), I made the mix and tasted it-- WAY too sweet!! I couldn't figure it out! My gelato is not as sweet as most, and I had used less sweetener than the non-vegan recipe called for (in relation to the volume of liquid, etc.). So, I got out my (new, under-used) reading glasses and read the small print on the bag of lucuma puree-- sugar! I had been assuming that it was unsweetened, since the label did not say "sweetened" and the recipes I found online all called for unsweetened puree. My mistake!
I tried diluting it with more soymilk-- still overpoweringly sweet! ... So, I started over and used no sweetener at all. It still tasted too sweet to me, but I know that when food is frozen, the sweetness is not as apparent, so there was hope. I stuck it in the freezer and hoped for the best, as I was hoping to take it to a family dinner with my sister and my mother on Friday-- they will remember this treat, too!
Last night I looked for unsweetened lucuma puree in Canada online-- no luck. But I did find lucuma powder. It seems that lucuma is all the rage in the raw foods community and is even used as a natural sweetener. I found some at a good price from this Canadian vendor, and ordered 2 lbs for future experiments!
BTW, lucuma is being called a "superfood", but I think this is somewhat of an exaggeration. It's true that it has lots of fiber and beta carotene, but, then, so do carrots! It is high in natural carbohydrates, so it was used by the Incas to provide energy, and evidently the trees are very prolific-- no wonder it was a popular food. Tasting sweet and butterscotch-y didn't hurt! I just feel that we should not go hog wild over exotic foods that are supposed to provide miraculous nutrients, when, in fact, we have foods at home that are just as good, more available, and much cheaper! For me, this is an exotic treat to relive some childhood memories.
Anyway, that said, we tried a bit of the ice cream when I was photographing it and re-packing it, and it is delicious! I will give you the recipe I used with the sweetened puree, but I plan to try it again with the lucuma powder and will report back!"
So I finally got back to that recipe yesterday, almost a year later, and I think I've got it! I made this version with the lucuma powder, basing it on my Vanilla Gelato using Instant ClearJel, but I omitted the syrup in the recipe because lucuma powder is fairly sweet on its own. I added a little more nondairy milk to compensate for the liquid in the syrup. It's not as good as the original made with the fresh fruit, of course, but it's not overly-sweet, and you can really taste the "butterscotch-y" flavor of the lucuma.
I hope you will try this vegan version of a popular Peruvian ice cream!
UPDATE: See this post for take #3.

Instant ClearJel® Notes:
A while ago, I started playing with my gelato recipe from my book "Nonna's Italian Kitchen". I wanted to make it richer-tasting, easier to make, and with more servings. One of the things I did was to use Instant Clearjel® instead of the cooked tapioca flour mixture that I generally use (tapioca thickens the mixture instead of eggs, and it has better mouth feel than cornstarch). This eliminates cooking the starch mixture, which means the whole thing takes less time and it doesn't take so long to chill the gelato mixture before freezing..
Instant Clearjel® is a modified corn starch, which simply means that it is precooked, used to thicken recipes. And the vegan ice cream made with it does not crystallize, or get rock-hard. It's creamy, and has no starchy mouth feel.
For clump-free, smooth results: "...it is best when first combined with dry ingredients, before adding liquid. It will begin to swell or thicken as soon as it is added to water, milk or juices; it will impart a smooth, short texture when fully hydrated, reaching its full thickness within 5-10 minutes (without requiring any cooking). Instant Clearjel® can be used in cooking as well. The viscosity will increase slightly upon heating. It has excellent heat and acid resistance and can be used in acid containing foods and in those applications where heating is required. It has good cold temperature storage stability, making it particularly well suited for refrigerated and frozen foods." http://recipes.wikia.com/wiki/Instant_Clearjel®
America's Test Kitchen recommends it for fruit pies, BTW.
It isn't available on store shelves-- here in Canada I had to get 11 lbs. of it from a bakery supply company (Snowcap), but maybe a bakery would sell you a smaller amount (this will last me for life!).
You can now order it in Canada from the Gourmet Warehouse (Vancouver)
In the US, you can mail-order it from (and I believe that all these sources ship to Canada, too):

Your ice cream looks so good! I fell in love with lucuma ice cream while visiting Peru twice in 2005. I had to have it every day.I have now lucuma powder,but I think that ice cream made with lucuma powder is a far cry from ice cream (vegan or any other)made with fresh lucuma. I wish I could find frozen lucuma too...

Yaelian, you are right, but, unfortunately it's what we have to work with. I'm going to do some more experimenting to do better, but it is still delicious in its own way!

Hooray! My copy of World Vegan Feast was just shipped. I opted for the free shipping so it will take a week or so. But it is on the way!

Congratulations, Bryanna! My copy is also on the way, Joanna. Can't wait!

Students were brimming with excitement and their minds filled with knowledge as they passed thru the halls on each floor viewing the information that was displayed on African-American inventors, scientists, businessmen and women, sports figures, congressional and judicial members and there was even a display about Portsmouth's Own African-American History Makers. Persons in this display included; Dr. James F. Scott, Sr. (1st African-American Coroner in the United States), Mr. Ted Wilburn, Jr. (1st African-American Police Chief of Portsmouth), Miss Kathleen Battle (world renowned Opera Singer), former professional sports figures; Larry Hisle (Minnesota Twins & Milwaukee Brewers), Chuck Ealey (Toledo Rockets), and Curt Gentry (Chicago Bears). Pictured in the photo is: Mr. Clarence Parker (1st African-American to be President of the Portsmouth City School Board), Pastor David A. Malone (2nd African-American to hold the position of Mayor of Portsmouth), (Mr. Al White, was the 1st African-American Mayor of Portsmouth), and Mr. Al Oliver former professional baseball player for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Texas Rangers, Montreal Expo's, San Francisco Giants, Philadelphia Phillies, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Toronto Blue Jays.
Students in the 6th grade were assigned research projects by Mrs. Keller about African-American inventors and scientists. Students in Ms. Ratliff's class did a timeline on dates for different African-American events in history as well as reports on individuals in the timeline. The 3rd grade students in Mrs. Oueen and Mr. Hendrix's classrooms did interactive reading and writing lessons with the pictures and information displayed closest to their classrooms.
Also in observance of Black History Month, the principal Mrs. Pollock embraced the opportunity to have the cast of the Freedom Center in Cincinnati, OH, come to our school and do a depiction of the Life and Times of Mrs. Rosa Parks. Students from East Portsmouth Elementary where Mrs. Toppins is the principal were also in attendance at this event.

Did you know that 4 out of 5 car seats are used incorrectly? Make sure your child is riding safely.
Each week, we have certified child passenger safety technicians who check car seats for free in various locations around Tarrant County. Our team will show you the fit that is the safest for your child and your vehicle. If you are an expectant parent, please schedule your car seat check four to six weeks before your delivery date.
Effective Sept. 1, 2009, Texas amended the State Child Passenger Safety law to include children up to 8 years old unless they are 4'9" tall. Watch this short video to become more familiar with the requirements.
Texas law requires all children ride in federally approved car seats or booster seats made for their weight and height, until they are 8 years old or taller than 4 feet 9 inches. In addition, all passengers (including adults) above this age/height must use a seat belt, regardless of where they sit in the vehicle (TRC 545.412 / 9-1-2009).
To help you get started on choosing the right car seat for you child, we've provided the following documents. These are suggested guidelines:
Did you know that 4 out of 5 car seats are installed incorrectly? Safe Kids Tarrant County has six car seat fitting stations around the metroplex where you can make an appointment with a certified technician for a FREE car seat fitting. Please call 682.885.2634 to learn more.
Did you know that it takes only 10 minutes for the inside of a car to heat up by 20 degrees F and it continues to heat up quickly even if a window is cracked?
Did you know that Texas leads the nation in deaths of children due to being left in a hot car with 85 deaths since 1998?
Safe Kids Tarrant County led by Cook Children's wants to make sure it doesn't happen in our community. If you see a child unattended in a hot car – that's a 9-1-1 call!
Get the facts at a glance:
In 2007, it was estimated that there were 5,000 injuries and 205 deaths to children under age 14 as a result of being hit by a vehicle in a driveway or parking area in the United States.
Five seconds could save the life of a child.
Before getting in your car, walk completely around it to check for children before getting in and starting the engine.
Parents and caregivers should follow these tips to help make sure that children remain safe around cars:
For years you've buckled them up in car seats, booster seats, and back seats. But now, they're old enough to buckle up and take their place in the driver's seat. Before you hand off the keys, here are a few recommended things you can do to steer them in the right direction and get them on the road to safe driving:

Unless you have been living under a rock this morning, you have already heard that Kate Middleton and Prince William are engaged! I wish them all the happiness in the world and look forward to hearing more about their wedding plans in the months to come. Of course, what I am most interested to hear about is what will she wear!?
So Kate, on the chance that you come across this blog, I wanted to share my top 4 picks for the Liz Fields wedding dresses that I think would look the most amazing on you (because a girl's gotta have choices).
1. The modern one-shoulder trend is at its peak right now; and with its silky organza draped bodice, beaded appliqué, and ruffle tulle embroidered skirt it would be hard not to feel like royalty in this gown, even if your name isn't Kate Middleton.
Liz Fields Bridal Gown Style 9100
2. Kate appears to be all about elegant sophistication, and an ease of style, luckily that's exactly what Liz Fields bridal gowns are about as well! In this dress, Kate can show off her figure with the fit and flare silhouette, and wow the on-looking crowds with the original 3-D accenting chiffon flower details.
Liz Fields Bridal Gown Style 9105
3. Of course as the future Princess of England, you can't go wrong with the classic ballgown silhouette! This ballgown screams "Princess" with features such as a sweetheart neckline, a beaded corset bodice with hand-tufted skirt over a layer of embroidered lace, silky organza flowers, and rosettes throughout the gown.
Liz Fields Bridal Gown Style 9108
4. My final pick is more on the trendy side than the other three, but I have faith that Kate could pull it off without a hitch! This bridal gown features a Square neckline, and pleated bodice with a show-stopping 3-D abstract floral embroidered skirt. The Colored sash at waist enhances the silhouette and adds that extra pop of color. With this bridal gown, Kate could either stick with the trendy black or choose a more traditional all white gown.
Liz Fields Bridal Gown Style 9112
So those are my top choices, but I would love to know what yours are! Visit www.lizfields.com and pick your favorite wedding dress for Kate to wear and leave a comment, there is nothing more fun than playing dress-up with a princess!

Comments about Replacement Chain for CCS818, NPP2018:
haven't used yet-bought as spare chain-rating based on original chain
Best Uses
Comments about Replacement Chain for CCS818, NPP2018:
This is for an easy-to-use Black and Decker 18 Volt Chainsaw. I love this saw. Most around home projects don't need a big engine/16" blade. Trimming trees, keeping your yard looking nice is perfect for the battery operated chainsaw. And, no mixing two cycle oil with gas.
However, a dull blade can sneak up on you. After a while, it takes a long time to cut through even a 2" branch. I didn't even think about replacing the blade until my arms got tired one afternoon simply holding the saw up for an extended period of time. All of a sudden it occurred to me - Maintenance! The very little money I spent replacing the blade had immediate results. Limbs fell quickly, saw jumped back less often and I witnessed the rebirth of a very useful tool.
After the first replacement, I now buy these two at a time so I will always be prepared (old Boy Scout trick).
At first, I looked into blade sharpening kits (another old memory from Boy Scouts) but was dismayed when the sharpening kit cost more than the replacement blade. Sometimes, the BIC Pen way of doing things is faster and easier. Just replace what is worn out.
Only downside is when installing. It is a little similar to putting new brakes on a bicycle - it would help to have three hands when installing. Yet, it is well worth the time, effort and money spent. Shipping was quick, everything arrived as promised and I would highly recommend.

My girlfriend and I watched 'Sliding Doors' last night. Pretty good for a romantic comedy / drama.
My 3 year old grandson makes me watch the first Harry Potter movie over and over and over again. I am having trouble remembering the last movie I watched because I wanted to. I think it may have been Rear Window (one of my favorites) or End of the Watch (thumbs up.) I have seen Rear Window more times than I can count, but I can't help myself. Just the set alone is reason enough to watch it, but it has a damn fine plot and excellent acting. Say what you will about Hitchcock, he had outrageous skills. Tell me that you don't feel a little nervous when you see a lot of birds together in one place or that you don't, at least once in a while, feel a little nervous about taking a shower.
Thale,so boring
American Psycho - I love this scene (it's not quite safe for work and maybe slightly spoiler-ish, btw):
The Black Death starring Sean Bean, the story takes place in 1348 in plague-ridden medieval England.
Suspenseful, and quite horrific in parts. Sean Bean's character Ulric
is tied between two horses and dismembered!
Well worth a watch.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Love this fairy-tale, Johnny Depp and Tim Burton are the best
I watched "Seven Psychopaths" this weekend. Not a bad flick but I was a bit disappointed. It looked like more of a comedy in previews, in the vein of "Snatch" and "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels." However, almost all the funny parts were shown in the previews. But even if it had been terrible I still would have watched it because Christopher Walken is never anything less than awesome.
