Honors Program
history department
The department encourages majors to consider the department's Honors Program, which centers around an honors thesis done in the senior year (3 credits each semester). Arrangements are made in the spring of one's junior year. The program should be seriously considered by any student thinking of doing graduate work in history. But it also has a broader appeal: to any history major who desires a challenging opportunity, that is the culmination of a liberal arts education.
The honors thesis involves researching a topic of some historical significance and interest both to you and to a professor who agrees to work with you. Normally, you and the professor would settle on a topic in the spring of your junior year, when a proposal is submitted to the Department Honors Committee (by April 1) for its approval. Once approved, you should begin some preliminary reading over the summer, so that you are ready to start in the fall. The finished thesis, after being approved by your advisor, must be delivered in a correct and neatly typed form, with appropriate documentation, by April 1 of your senior year. The members of the Honors Committee will be pleased to discuss the program further. For information about the Honors Program, you should contact Prof. Gelfand.
Interested students should consult the university catalog for information about the Scholar of the College Program, which offers our most outstanding seniors the opportunity to write a 12-credit thesis (counting as four upper-division electives).
All students doing a thesis enroll in HIST-4961: Honors Seminar, a three-credit course, during the fall term of senior year. Students doing the honors thesis enroll in HIST-4962, Honors Thesis (also a three-credit course) during the spring. Students doing the 12-credit thesis for the Scholar of the College Program enroll in both HIST-4961 and HIST-4921: Advanced Independent Research, which is also a three-credit course, in the fall. In the spring, these students enroll in HIST-4922: Advanced Independent Research, a six-credit course.

ETS Introduces the ETS English Camp in Korea for Underprivileged Students
- Contact:

Seoul, Korea (January 20, 2014) —
Twenty-five underprivileged elementary school students who have a high interest in studying English, but cannot afford to pay for study programs, recently attended a week-long ETS English Camp. The free-of-charge camp was held at the Seoul English Village Pungnap Camp, and was offered by Educational Testing Service (ETS) with support from the Partners for the Future Foundation under the umbrella of the American Chamber of Commerce in Korea (AMCHAM Korea).
ETS Korea invited a total of 25 selected elementary school students, recommended by 10 individual district offices of the Seoul Metropolitan City Government, to participate in the camp and experience a real English-speaking environment at the Seoul English Village. The camp exposed these young students to an array of events and English-learning activities which will help prepare them for future success.
"ETS is honored to help support underprivileged elementary school students in Korea," says David Payne, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Higher Education Division at ETS. "Through the ETS English Camp, these students have the opportunity to participate in various English-speaking exercises and will be able to significantly improve their English skills."
The ETS English Camp Admission Ceremony was held at the Seoul English Village Pungnap Camp on January 11 and Zoubir Yazid, Managing Director of ETS Global BV, participated in the admission ceremony. Yazid commented, "ETS has been supporting Korean university students by providing scholarships since 2008. As a part of our corporate social responsibility activities, ETS is very glad to offer this opportunity to young English-language learners in Korea." A total of six scholars who won the ETS Scholarships in the past also joined the ceremony as mentors for the young English-language learners and shared their tips for studying English.

ERWIN — Construction work to relocate Unicoi County's emergency dispatch center and the Unicoi County Sheriff's Department's investigative office to the Unicoi County Jail Annex has begun, and Sheriff Mike Hensley feels these offices could be in closer proximity to his department's administrative offices by early spring.
A storage facility on the Jail Annex property that was used to house sheriff's department equipment and MedicOne Medical Response ambulances is being converted to serve as the location of the 911 and investigative offices. Work began around three weeks ago and, so far, crews have installed plumbing, raised the floor and placed a new roof on the building.
Hensley said new walls will be installed and half the building will be used by sheriff's department investigators, with the other half set up for the 911 center. He said the investigative side will include interrogation rooms, an evidence room and offices for the investigators. He also said a covered corridor to link the former storage area to the main Jail Annex facility will be constructed.
Water finding its way into the offices prompted their move. At a September 2012 meeting of the county's Emergency Communications District Board, Hensley told officials that water at the Unicoi County Jail in downtown Erwin, caused by a leaking roof and inmates stopping up commodes and drains in the jail, was finding its way to the sheriff's department offices and and 911 center located directly beneath the jail. He also said that while the leaking roof could be repaired, flooding caused by the inmates was not preventable.
In March, sheriff's department offices, with the exception of the investigative offices, were relocated to the Jail Annex. In August, the Unicoi County Commission approved a bid in the amount of $429,750 from Travis Chatman Construction for the construction and renovation needed for the relocation of the investigative offices and 911 center. At the same meeting, the commission also approved a bid from Davis Brothers Roofing for $82,221 to reroof the downtown jail facility. Work on that project is also under way.
Hensley reiterated Thursday that is important that the 911 center and investigative offices be located near his department's administrative office.
"911 does a lot for us," he said. "They enter all of our NCIC entries. It's just an incredible amount of work they do for us, and it's just a necessity that we keep them that way."

Soggy fries, dried out hamburger bun, dirty table. Topped off by phoning it in in the service. Won't be back.

I've lived in Chelsea for 15 years and came here when it was Maroons. Super excited when the place turned to a Grey Dog as I love the one on University. Good food, great atmosphere and pretty spacious-I love to come off hours. But the service needs work. Some of the ladies behave as if they are too good to be doing what they're doing in the job - serving customers. Emphasis on serving. We know, blondie - you are every guy's dream girl, you rock it out in a band and will hit it big as an actress some day. Until you do, however, a bit of respect for your paying customers would be a good idea. So cool it with the sighing and huffing while you march around with a notebook. We get it. You're busy doing next week's schedule. And P.S. When you seat a guest next to the employee table, please refrain from talking about your menstrual cycle.

This place may be a little pricey but I think it is worth it every now and then. My bf and I go here about once a month or so and we love to bring out of town guests here too. You order at the counter, grab your napkins and waters and find a table and then they will bring you your food. My favs are the Seared Tuna & Avocado Tacos, Veggie Press and the Turkey Brie and Apple sandwich. My bf loves the french press, and the tuna tacos too. We have not tried the breakfast out yet but am hoping to one day.

Overpriced, insufferably smug and...did I mention overpriced? This is the kind of place 20-30somethings with too much coin from their mommy and daddy go waste the money on. If it were good enough that would be one thing, and it was good for bit when this branch opened, but those days are gone. I had a mealy breakfast quesadilla recently, they cannot even get that right. Forget it go elsewhere.

Went for lunch and ordered turkey burger. Came out pasty looking--sort of bland mush. My guest's salad did not come out at all, as the woman at the counter claimed we never ordered it. Our table was not clean. We quickly went elsewhere and I won't be back...ever.

I came here for lunch last week, ordered a chicken club on challah and pecan pie, and ended up staying hours just reading and people watching. It's incredibly spacious, so you don't feel pressured to give up your table, and the overall atmosphere is really chill. The club was really good, but I paid extra for a side salad instead of chips that was pretty mediocre. The pie was HUGE. Big enough to feed 2 or 3 people-the kind of portion I'd serve myself if I were having a really crappy day. The service was quick and friendly, the only thing I really didn't love was the fact that you had to get up to get napkins, water, etc. and that my lunch (with tip) came to about $22. Still, I'm planning on coming back again and again.

Microhabitat use by breeding Southwestern Willow Flycatchers on the Gila River, New Mexico
Stoleson, Scott H.; Finch, Deborah M. 2003. Microhabitat use by breeding Southwestern Willow Flycatchers on the Gila River, New Mexico. In: Sogge, Mark K.; Kus, Barbara E.; Sferra, Susan J.; Whitfield, Mary J., eds. Ecology and Conservation of the Willow Flycatcher. Studies in Avian Biology. 26: 91-95.
The endangered Southwestern Willow Flycatcher (Empidonax traillii extimus) breeds at numerous sites throughout its range that vary greatly in floristics, vegetation structure, and the extent of human alteration of the habitat. Here we present information on nesting habitat characteristics of Willow Flycatchers in the largest extant population of the subspecies along the upper Gila River in New Mexico. We compared 19 habitat variables between nest sites and sites not included in flycatcher territories. A logistic regression model identified three variables as significant predictors of flycatcher use: foliage density in the subcanopy, percent canopy cover, and number of boxelder (Acer negundo) stems. In mature riparian woodland, flycatchers displayed a significant preference for nesting in boxelder, and used two willow species less than expected by chance. Flycatchers in the Gila Valley tended to place nests rather high (mean = 7.6 m). The relative nest height, preference for dense foliage, and proximity to water were typical for the subspecies.

|You are here: Law Compass
A jury is a group of 12 to 18 people randomly chosen, who are sworn to try the issue of facts and return a verdict in criminal trials Jurors are selected randomly from the electoral roll maintained by the Western Australian Electoral Commission (WAEC). In WA, each year approximately 80,000 names are selected from the electoral roll to be available for jury duty. Approximately 7,000 people will serve as a juror each year.
Jury duty is everyone's civic responsibility and requires the cooperation of business, the Government and the community to ensure this vital part of the justice system functions correctly within our democracy.
A travel allowance will be provided to all jurors who attend jury service. If you are employed your employer is required by law to continue to pay you your usual wages while you attend jury duty. Your employer may then apply to be reimbursed those wages. This does not apply to State Government Departments.
Employers can apply for reimbursement of lost income when a staff member is doing jury duty. This also applies to self employed workers who do jury duty. Employers must allow their staff to attend jury duty and continue to pay their wages or salary whether fulltime, part time or casual. There are serious penalties for acting prejudicial toward an employee when they are doing jury duty.
If circumstances of hardship or serious inconvenience exist at the time you have been summoned for jury duty you may apply for a deferral. This flexibility will assist you in meeting your civic responsibilities. Some people may be ineligible or not qualified for jury duty.
Anyone aged between 18 and 75 years and listed on the electoral roll within each jury district, is eligible to receive a jury summons. Once you reach the age of 75 years old you are no longer eligible for jury duty.
It is an offence to fail to obey the instructions of a summons for jury duty and you could receive an $800 infringement. This means that you must attend at the place and time stated on the summons served on you. Further you must remain at this place as directed until discharged or notified otherwise. Ensure your address details are correct with the Western Australian Electoral Commission so you don't miss a summons.
