Learning Assessment Collaborative Awarded $300,000 Grant
July 14, 2006
SELINSGROVE, (Pa.) – Susquehanna University and its partner institutions, Moravian College, Drew University, Muhlenberg College and Roanoke College, have joined together in a collaborative effort to explore what and how students learn. They will examine how effective select programs are in attaining program-specific goals, as well as the broader liberal arts goal of educating students to be active and intentional learners, capable of incorporating different kinds of information in a variety of contexts for seemingly dissimilar purposes. Titled "Value-Added Assessment of Programs of Intense Student-Faculty Interaction: Developing Intentional Learners," this three-year project is being funded by a $300,000 grant from the Teagle Foundation.
As part of the study, the institutions will develop tools to assess various programs of intense student-faculty interaction. At Susquehanna University, assessment will focus on its first-year core courses and senior capstone projects. Moravian College will examine its lower and upper level writing-intensive courses. Drew University will concentrate on its first-year seminars; Muhlenberg on its capstone courses and student-faculty research, and Roanoke on its freshmen orientation and first-year seminars.
The groundwork for this study was laid last year when the Teagle Foundation awarded the collaborative $25,000 to develop interactive assessment expertise and specific questions that the institutions wish to answer through value-added assessment. The end result was the formulation of methodologies that will now be used to assess the designated programs of intense student-faculty interaction.
The Teagle Foundation is funding this collaborative study as part of its Outcomes and Assessment initiative, an outgrowth of the foundation's principle that a sustained and systematic assessment of what and how students learn has the greatest potential of affecting their educational experience. The Teagle Foundation is committed to promoting and strengthening liberal arts education through collaboration among institutions seeking to develop new knowledge on issues important to higher education and sharing that information with the higher education community at large.

VIDEO: Maryland students coordinate flash mob, Harlem Shake before Duke game
Feb 18, 2013, 5:50 PM EDT
Flash mobs and the newly-minted king of YouTube memes, the 'Harlem Shake' videos, have already become ingrained in our memories, whether we like them or not, in recent years and weeks.
As a result, some have already said these two entities have become out-dated. Even the Harlem Shake videos, which have been around for, what, two weeks?
Anyway, it takes some major planning and activity to combine both of these things and keep them entertaining. That's why there's major kudos deserved to the Maryland students before the Terrapins 83-81 victory over then-no. 2 Duke. The thousands that packed the Comcast Center danced in unison to various tracks before the game, then, during the flash mob, a singular dude in a motorcycle helmet kicked of the Harlem Shake that included the entire student section.
Can anyone tell me if the school coordinated this? Did the students get together? How did this come about?
Oh and hey there, Scott Van Pelt sitting in front of the students at the 0:08 second mark, you look aware of everything… (kidding, SVP, you're my boy!)
You'll want to watch the whole thing. If you don't want to, trust me, you'll catch yourself watching the whole thing. It's well done.
After all that, I'd assume the end of the video was the student sections favorite part.
This is cool for two reasons. First, it's just well coordinated and done. Second, with Maryland moving to the Big Ten in two seasons, it's tough to say how much we'll get to see these moments again.

Valuing Health Outcomes: An Assessment of ApproachesAn RFF ConferenceFebruary 13-24, 2003
in partnership with
U.S. Environmental Protection AgencyU.S. Department of AgricultureOccupational Safety & Health AdministrationNational Institutes of HealthAgency for Healthcare Research and QualityFood and Drug AdministrationU.S. Department of Transportation
Resources for the Future co-hosts a two-day conference on February 13-14, 2003 in Washington, DC to examine the conceptual and empirical bases for alternative health-benefit measures, the ways in which such measures are used and could be used in policymaking, and whether the choice of measure would actually make a difference in policy outcomes.
Bringing together a diverse group of experts, government officials, and stakeholders, the conference assesses the appropriate types and use of measures for valuing health outcomes of government activities. Conference Background and OMB Draft ReportCurrently, government agencies are required under Executive Order 13258 to evaluate the costs and benefits of major regulations, defined as those expected to have a cost of at least $100 million dollars. The current interpretation of this directive is that agencies should provide estimates of economic benefits based on aggregations of individual willingness-to-pay (WTO), which reflects individual preferences for health and environmental improvements, and to compare them with the costs. Government agencies also evaluate non-regulatory activities. Practices here vary widely, including the use of cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analysis, and for health benefits, the use of monetary valuation and other measures, such as Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALYs).
The Office of Management and Budget, which reviews all regulations for compliance with E.O. 13258, has said it is considering the use of new effectiveness measures that combine information on mortality and morbidity, such as QALYs.
OMB is considering such measures because
1. They allow for aggregation of mortality and morbidity without application of dollar values.
2. They provide more emphasis on morbidity impacts, and
3. QALYs have been widely adopted in the public health economics literature.

The Magic of Christmas *
Snow is gently falling
The stars are shining bright
People come to worship
On this holiest of night
The voices of the
Of love and praise are singing
While pealing in the distance
Are the sounds of church bells ringing
An air of joy and
Is everywhere in town
As people greet each other
With good wishes all aroundWhat a glorious
On this wintry Christmas Eve
Where so much warmth and caring
Is a wonder to perceive
May the magic of this
Extend throughout the year
Let's keep on reaching out
And showing that we care
May the blessings of this season
Fill our hearts with joy
Always sharing, always giving
So that others may enjoy.

The City of Fremantle's Art Collection began with a bequest of 41 works in 1958 from Sir Claude Hotchin (1898-1977). Sir Hotchin, an enthusiastic patron of the visual arts, donated paintings by Hans Heysen, Margaret Preston, Arthur Streeton, Rupert Bunny and other Australian artists.
The collection has received many generous gifts and donations over the decades, with more than 150 artworks have been gifted by prominent collectors including paintings by Tim Leura Tjapaltjarri, Kathleen O'Connor, Akio Makigawa, John Coburn, Lloyd Rees, William Dobell, Guy Grey-Smith, Ken Wadrop, Colin Lanceley, Sidney Nolan and Mary Moore.
The inaugural director of the Fremantle Arts Centre, Ian Templeman (1972-1989) promoted an acquisitions policy that focused upon building a collection which captured a range of contemporary arts practice in Fremantle and Western Australia. As a result the collection holds a strong body Australian prints and Western Australian ceramics.
He was responsible for establishing an ambitious exhibition and acquisition program, giving birth to the annual Fremantle Print Award in 1976, which has seen award winning prints, go to the collection.
Under June Moorehouse (general manager 1990), the collection benefited from increased print award sponsorship commitment and recognition of important Aboriginal practice and growth in new print forms and processes.
The City of Fremantle's Art Collection today numbers over 1 300 works, having grown with donations and acquisitions to include historical and contemporary artworks in a range of media-paintings, prints, drawings, ceramics, photographs and sculpture-mostly by Western Australian and Australian artists. Together, these artworks provide a range of artistic statements about Fremantle, contribute to Fremantle's identity and provide a significant cultural resource for the community.

Course Prerequisites
ACT score of 19 or equivalent
Course Description
A survey of British literature from the origins of the language to 1700.
Next course: ENG 2653 (British Literature II), if desired.
Course Introduction
This course is designed to introduce you to the great literature of early Britain from the origins of the English language to 1700. This course may be a substitute for general humanities in some programs.
This course will assume that you know the basic terms of literature, but we will go over any terms with which you are not familiar. The course will consist of some lecture and some discussion. That means you need to read the material so you can talk about it! You must participate in class discussion to practice the skills necessary to successfully complete the required assignments.
Class Resources: Names and phone numbers of classmates:
Textbooks and Resources
A Guide to College Writing, 2000 ed.
The Norton Anthology of English Literature. Vol. 1. 7th ed. New York: Norton, 2000.
Other materials: Printer paper
Library Materials: Materials relating to this course, including the textbook, are on reserve in Thunderbird Library.
Teaching Methods and Evaluation Instruments: This class will include some lecture and some discussion, and much writing practice. Your grade will be based on two tests, a research paper, a project, and weekly reading and research.
Learning Objectives
In accordance with the Rogers State University mission and the mission of the Department of Communications and Fine Arts, this course is intended to provide the opportunity for students to develop and display effective communication skills, both written and oral; critical and creative thinking; multicultural exposure; global perspective, and a appreciation for the diverse views of art, knowledge, culture, and the world.
During the semester, you will study the literary works of early British literature: non-fiction, drama, and poetry. You will
1. use literary terms
2. learn facts about various works of literature
3. learn why these works of literature are evaluated as important
4. write about literary works
5. research information about early British literature
6. respond to questions about literature, using literary terms and evaluation criteria, especially in realms of synthesis and evaluation
Assessment Tools
By the end of the semester you will have
Fulfilled Objective
1. passed two tests on the reading and study material
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
2. written an acceptable, short, documented paper using MLA format
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
3. researched a variety of early British works
2, 3, 5, 6
4. created/submitted a project responding to text
1,2, 3,4, 5, 6
Mid-Level (Class Assessment): Students will be assessed on their knowledge of the works and on their ability to write about the works by taking a mid-term essay test.
Exit Assessment: Students will be assessed on their knowledge of the works and on their ability to write about the works by taking a final examination.
Tests: Tests will be essay question and comprehensive.
Research Paper
Before beginning the research paper, read the section in the Guide to College Writing on "The Research Paper" carefully.
The length for this paper is three to five pages of text, typed. (You will include a Works Cited page that is part of the paper but is not a page of text.)
Decide on a work of early British literature in which you are interested. You may choose more than one selection but not more than three. Do research on the selection(s). Decide on the limited topic you intend to handle and on which you can find sufficient resource material. Do NOT do a biography of an author.
You should use five or more sources in the paper, three of which must be print sources, one of which must be an Internet or other electronic source. (General encyclopedias are not appropriate sources.) Be sure that you include not only paraphrased but also quoted material. Use MLA-style documentation.
Weekly Reading and Research
Each week, choose a piece of literature from the selections for that week. Research the piece in at least two places, one on the Internet and one text-based. Bring a copy of your sources to class. However, it is not enough to have made a copy. You must be able to share the information you glean with the class. You will be sharing so others can use the information; you will be taking notes on information you receive from others. This information may be useful to you on the tests.
Choose a piece of literature or quotations from one piece of literature we read or one quotation from each of three pieces or a theme running through a series of texts or one piece of literature. Using the selection(s) as a basis, develop the equivalent of a ten-page journal that is textual and imagistic. Use color, font, print, pictures, and/or text in any manner which you wish to illustrate the quotations. You may write a series of your own pieces or use pictures as response. Be creative. Take chances. ENJOY THIS (yes, that's part of the assignment—and required!). Don't worry; we'll look at some examples. You won't die from this.
You must complete all assignments to receive credit for the course.
Standards of Achievement
All student work will be held to the following academic criteria:
Accuracy of information
Organization and clarity of thoughts
Depth of critical thinking and observation
Satisfaction of defined requirements (deadlines, etc.)
Acceptable writing mechanics
Fidelity of work (no plagiarism, cheating, etc.)
Evidence of creative or innovative thinking
Effective cooperative learning
Grade Composition
Grades will be based on the following:
Tests 100 pts. each 200 points
Research paper 100 points
Project 100 points
Weekly reading and research 100 points
approximate TOTAL 500 points
You need to keep track of your grades and not ask "How am I doing?" or "What is my average?" Do not expect to call and ask about a grade. Grades will not be posted. If you want your final grade earlier than it is sent to you by the Registrar's office, you can give me a stamped, self-addressed envelope and I will send it to you.
Grading Scale and Academic Profiles
The Department of Communications and Fine Arts Division has adopted a standard grading scale
59% and below F
Academic Profile
Students receiving an "A" can be considered to have exhibited extraordinary effort in class and scholarship exceeding the expectations of the instructor and to have exhibited most or all of the following: to have attended regularly and on time (missed fewer than the equivalent of one week of class meetings); to have participated fully in class discussion, revealing personal initiative; to have used well-supported and well-structured logical arguments in writing; to have revealed a grasp of mechanics that prevents errors; to have revealed depth of critical thought and observation; to have exhibited timeliness in turning in assignments; to have revealed strong interest in intellectual, cultural, and personal growth by reading and discussing assigned material; to have shown consistent improvement in academics.
Above Average
Students receiving a "B" can be considered to have exhibited above-average effort in class, revealing noticeable improvement in academics, and showing accurate and complete scholarship. The student will have exhibited most or all of the following: have attended regularly (not missed more than the equivalent of one week of class meetings) and on time; have participated honestly and solidly in class discussion; have used supported and structured logical arguments in writing; have revealed a grasp of mechanics that prevents many errors; have revealed critical thought and observation; have exhibited a moderate grasp of timeliness in turning in assignments; have revealed interest in intellectual, cultural, and personal growth by reading and discussing assigned material.
Students receiving a "C" can be considered to have exhibited average effort in class, performing satisfactorily but not above average, with some self-direction, and have shown signs of academic progress, meeting assignment parameters accurately. The student will have exhibited most or all of the following: attended regularly (not missed more than the equivalent of one week of class meetings) and on time; participated willingly in class discussion; have used supported and structured arguments in writing; have revealed an average grasp of mechanics that prevents most errors; have revealed average critical thought and observation; have exhibited a moderate grasp of timeliness in turning in assignments; have revealed average interest in intellectual, cultural, and personal growth by reading and discussing assigned material.
Below Average
Students receiving a "D" can be considered to have exhibited some effort in class, but not enough to show fully engagement with the subject and with the course material, showing little or no initiative and academic improvement, and not meeting the scholarship requirements of assignments. The student will have exhibited most or all of the following: have participated somewhat in class discussion; have attended somewhat regularly (missed more than the equivalent of one week and less than the equivalent of two weeks) and usually on time; have used some structured and supported arguments in writing; have revealed a sub-standard grasp of mechanics that prevents only some errors; have revealed below average critical thought and observation; have exhibited some grasp of timeliness in turning in assignments; have revealed below average interest in intellectual, cultural, and personal growth by reading and discussing assigned material; have not met the scholarship requirements of assignments; have not shown initiative; have not revealed academic improvement.
Students receiving an "F" can be considered to have exhibited little or no desire to pass the course. This will usually involve poor participation and attendance (missed more than the equivalent of two weeks of class meetings) and little or no effort to attempt improvement as well as scholarship deficiencies and lack of effort to complete assignments.
Important Considerations
The research paper should be typed.
I prefer that you not use ANY tobacco products in the classroom OR wear hats or caps. Failure to comply with these requests will be seen as denoting lack of respect for the class, the instructor, and your classmates.
Sample Essays
The Guide to College Writing includes essays in an appendix. Each of these essays is an above-average essay.
Academic Misconduct
Students are expected to follow university policies as put forth in the institution's Student Code of Responsibilities and Conduct. In accordance with Title 12 of The Student Code (page 11), instances of alleged academic misconduct will follow the policies and procedures as described in Title 12. As a general rule, Faculty at Rogers State University have the responsibility of enforcing the academic code. Therefore, if academic conduct is suspected, I will submit a letter of alleged academic misconduct to the Office of Student Affairs.
Non-Academic Misconduct
In order to maintain an effective learning environment, students are expected to fully comply with The Student Code. Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. It is the responsibility of each student to read and become familiar with the policies of The Student Code.
Attendance Policy
Attendance is vital. You cannot discuss if you are not here. Excessive absences (more than one—the equivalent of one week of class) will affect your grade.
It is your responsibility to be in class on time. If you are absent, it is your responsibility to find out what has happened in class and what is due. Absence is not an excuse for not having assignments or for not being aware of what is due or what is required. Please tell me if you come in late. Otherwise you will be marked absent. If you are more than 10 minutes late, you will not receive credit for attendance for that class meeting. It is better to be late than to miss a complete class, but it is better not to be late.
Extra Credit and Late Work
Extra credit: 100 points maximum possible
1. Attend a cultural event related to early British literature and write a critique. (25 points possible for each one, 50 points maximum)
2. Find a mistake in the Guide to College Writing. (25 points each if you're the first to find the mistake)
3. Write a review on a film/television/video offering, related to early British literature. (25 pts. possible each , 50 points maximum)
Late Work
Assignments, other than in-class exercises, turned in late will lose 10% per day up to 30%. In-class research and reports cannot be made up; if you are not in class to share the research, you will not receive the 10 point credit for that exercise. No late work will be accepted more than two weeks after the initial submission date.
Rogers State University ADA Statement
If you have special physical, psychiatric, or learning disabilities, please let me know immediately so that your learning needs may be appropriately met. You will need to provide documentation to the office of Student Relations, Prep. Hall 110.
Computer Writing Labs
Computers for student use are available in the UPA, Thunderbird Library, and Student Support Services. Computers are also available for class use in BH 205.
Closure Statement
he schedule and procedures in this course are subject to change in the event of extenuating circumstances.

An Open Letter to Students
Attending college is analogous to being employed. Success on the job is achieved only with hard work and effort. This is also true of college.
Your employer expects you to be on the job every day, on time, and prepared to work. You are allowed only a specific number of sick days each year after which your pay is "docked." This is also true in composition classes. Regular and prompt attendance is essential.
Meetings are an essential part of the workplace culture, and everyone is expected to attend regularly and to contribute to the discussion. If you miss an excessive number of meetings and/or do not share information, your employment success is in jeopardy. The same holds true for this class. You are not only expected to attend all of our "meetings," but you are expected to contribute to the discussion. This requires that you come to each class prepared to discuss the assigned material. Failure to do so will put your success in jeopardy.
Your employer requires you to submit all reports on time. Failure to do so will endanger your employer's business and your success. The same is true for this class. All "reports" (papers, etc.) are due at the scheduled time (see syllabus). If, for a justified reason, you will not be able to meet the time schedule, you must notify me, just as you would contact your employer if you needed an extension. However, as in the workplace, such extensions do not come without a cost. Extensions result in a decrease in your "salary" (grade).
Performance reviews occur periodically in the workplace, and your employer determines the degree of your success during these reviews. Such is the case in this class. The "performance reviews" for this class are papers and other assignments. These reviews require you to show not only your knowledge of the material, but also your ability to use this knowledge. Your "pay" (grade) depends on the quality of your performance.
If you attend class regularly, participate in class discussions, and submit all materials, well prepared and in a timely fashion, you have the potential to excel in this class. I am looking forward to working with you and to learning with you. I am always available if you need assistance.
Good luck! Good writing!

Bartosz Huzarski holds on to most active rider's jersey
Today's 231-kilometer stage of the Tour de Pologne from Tarnow to Katowice ended, as expected, in a mass sprint. American Taylor Phinney (BMC) was nevertheless able to best the group as soloist at the end, with barely two meters lead as he crossed the finish line. Yesterday's third-place rider, Steele von Hoff (Garmin), and Belarussian rider Yauheni Hutarovich (AG2R) took second and third place, respectively. NetApp-Endura sprinter Daniel Schorn was luckier today and finished the race in 10th place. Bartosz Huzarski holds on to the most active rider's jersey.
At the beginning Cesare Benedetti was able to break away from the field in a group with eight fellow riders. For NetApp-Endura it was a good group, because none of the riders could have put the most active rider's jersey in danger. Cesare Benedetti sprinted through the first sprint stage and took second place, thereby ensuring that these points went to the NetApp-Endura team. Then he conserved his strength for the sprint finish. The breakaway group, whose lead extended to as much as four minutes, was caught in the final round. An attack by today's winner was underestimated by the field, which allowed him to preserve his lead until he reached the finish line.
"Our focus today was on the group. On the one hand each group has small chance to get through, and this way we were also able guarantee that nobody could put Bartosz's jersey in danger," commented Enrico Poitschke.
"Tomorrow's stage is not too difficult, but it is fairly hilly. That is great for Daniel, so we will ride for him again when it comes to a sprint finish tomorrow. We will also keep trying to secure the jersey, therefore we have to be represented in any group that may develop," explained Enrico Poitschke.
The fifth stage will take the peloton into the hilly areas of Poland. Over a distance of 160.5 kilometers, three category-one mountain classifications and three category-two classifications await the riders. After the first half of the stretch, the riders will cover two longer loops of 40.5 kilometers featuring four of the mentioned mountain classifications.
1 Stage Rovereto – Madonna di Campiglio - 184,5km
2 Stage Marilleva Val di Sole – Passo Pordoi Val di Fassa - 206.5km
3 Stage Krakow – Rzeszow Podkarpackie - 226km
4 Stage Tamow – Katowice - 231,5km
5 Stage Nowy Targ – Zakopane - 160,5km
6 Stage Bukovina Terma Hotel Spa – Bukowina Tatrzanska - 192km
7 Stage Wieliczka – Krakow – ITT - 37km

The Next Phase of Healthcare Apartheid
Why the Critics of a Public Option for Health Care Are Wrong
Without a public option, the other parties that comprise America's non-system of health care — private insurers, doctors, hospitals, drug companies, and medical suppliers — have little or no incentive to supply high-quality care at a lower cost than they do now. Which is precisely why the public option has become such a lightening rod. […]

(ABC 6 NEWS) -- A Rochester man is accused of using an online dating website to meet a woman and scam her out of thousands of dollars.
33-year-old Curtis Britton is charged with two felony counts of theft by swindle in Ramsey County District Court.
According to the criminal complaint, he met a St. Paul woman on a dating site and convinced her to give him more than $17,000. Authorities say he told the woman his mother was dying of cancer and he needed the money to get her body back to her native country of Trinidad, among other things.
The woman went to police after her family became suspicious. Britton does have a criminal history. He appeared on the TV show Judge Judge in 2008 where he was accused of doing a smiliar thing.

The Master of Science in Emergent Media is a 30 credit one-year program offered in Shanghai, China culminating in a one or two semester residency in the United States, at Champlain College's Burlington, Vermont campus. This program is designed to appeal to graduate students who wish to have careers producing and managing the collaborative process of the next generation of media content such as mobile apps, e-books and magazines, augmented reality, and games.
MS in Emergent Media Hooding Ceremony 2014 from Champlain College Emergent Media on Vimeo.
The program takes place in multiple studio environments, a pre-requisite for learning to produce electronic media. The Shanghai-based studio is linked with the Emergent Media Center on Champlain College's Burlington, Vermont campus, where you will be provided an opportunity for international collaboration and project development.
The curriculum links technical skills with critical thinking and the creative process. As a Master of Science student in Shanghai, you will employ state-of-the-art online collaborative design tools, working on teams that include Master of Fine Arts in Emergent Media students based in Burlington, Vermont. During the residency in the U.S., students complete these online-initiated projects in person with Vermont-based teammates.

Letter from John Baumgardner
Regarding the claims of Ron Wyatt
From: John Baumgardner
Subject: Statement
Date: Thursday, September 26, 1996 7:13 PM
September 26, 1996
Dear Gary,
You recently requested that I formulate a statement that summarizes my conclusions regarding the boat-shaped formation located about 15 miles south of Mt. Ararat in eastern Turkey which Ron Wyatt and David Fasold maintain represent the final resting place of Noah's Ark. Let me first reproduce a statement I provided for the CRSnet of the Creation Research Society about a year ago in response to a similar request:
Regarding my position on the Durupinar site, the core drilling we performed in 1988 settled the issue as far as I am concerned--the site is a natural formation, nothing more, produced by a mud slide as mud flowed around a ridge-shaped block of basement rock that is still present inside the resulting boat-shaped form. My position on the many other claims and questions is accurately represented in the article in the September 1992 issue of Creation Magazine, Volume 14, Number 4, entitled 'Amazing Ark Expose' by Dr. Andrew Snelling that critiqued assertions by Ron Wyatt, David Fasold, and others that the site indeed contained remains of the Ark. I refer people on the CRSnet who are interested in the controversy to this article. The footage of me in the video that has been shown several times on U.S. and British television during the last three years reflects my early enthusiasm about the possibility of a connection of the site with Noah's Ark, but it does not accurately represent my very firm conclusions reached after the extensive geophysical investigations we conducted at the site in 1987 and 1988. I realize this answer is brief, but I hope it is clear I am convinced the remains of the Ark must be somewhere else, that such remains are emphatically _not_ associated with this boat-shaped formation. The central claims Wyatt and Fasold have been making about the site are bogus.
Let me next reproduce some email I sent to Mr. Jim Pinkoski last May at your request. Mr. Pinkoski operates the 'Museum of God's Treasures' at Gatlinburg, Tennessee, which features the claimed discoveries of Ron Wyatt.
Gary Amirault called me this morning and mentioned the email exchange he has been having with you concerning the character and veracity of Ron Wyatt. He mentioned your remark that the reason I did not support Ron's position that the boat-shaped site did indeed contain the remains of Noah's ark was concern for my job. Gary suggested I contact you directly and set the record straight on this point. My reasons for concluding the site has nothing to do with the ark are based on the geophysical surveys my team performed in 1987 together with the core drilling we performed in 1988 which revealed a massive ridge of inside the site and aligned with the site's long axis. This ridge actually outcrops at the surface over about 40% of the length of the site. The ridge accounts for the stability of the site relative to the surrounding terrain as well as for its distinctive boatlike shape. The rock material that comprises the ridge matches that in nearby outcrops, especially that in the roadcut above the visitor's center. Furthermore, the material Ron claims is petrified wood is nothing but igneous rock of basaltic composition. We have analyzed many samples of it here at our laboratory, and Ron is aware of these analyses.
Ron's assertion that I take the position I do because I am afraid I will lose my job is a falsehood. I am very bold in my creationist convictions here. For example, in February I presented a public lecture entitled "Exposing Evolution as Intellectual Fraud" in our community center. This has since been aired several times on our local cable television station.
I just wanted to make you aware of some of these matters. I could share much more on a variety of claims that Ron continues to make. I encourage you not just to take Ron's word that his claims are honest and true but to make some independent checks yourself.
Mr. Pinkoski shortly thereafter forwarded my email to a friend of his, Joel Davenport, who lives in Graysville, Georgia. Mr. Davenport then sent me a list of questions, which I answered as follows:
Dear Joel,
Let me try to give you some quick answers to your most reasonable questions.
1. Did you witness evidence of the metal rivets in this "igneous rock?"
--none whatsoever.
I have seen pictures of these rivets and wonder, based on what you state above, if they're from another site or from that location. Do you have any comments on that?
--I am almost 100% certain that Ron 'planted' them.
2. As a layman, it sure looks like petrified wood that he found (and I've seen a sample of it in Nashville). Is it your contention that Ron Wyatt fabricated this evidence or that he brought it from another location?
--Yes. I have spent weeks at this site and never once saw any sample that even remotely resembled petrified wood.
3. Are the "beams" (or "rib timbers") which I have seen in the video and on pictures not actual formations there at the site?
--The dark, weather-resistant rocks are genuine parts of the formation. They are of igneous composition. Calling them "beams" or "rib timbers" is something that comes from (Wyatt's) human imagination.
4. Do you believe that the object at that site, which you yourself have tested, is a natural phenomenom, or is it man-made? (I ask you this as an expert in your field.)
--it is the natural product of a geological process (a catastrophic mud slide)
And if so, were there not metal rivets throughout the object?
--absolutely not!
5. Were you misquoted or misrepresented in David Fasold's book which quoted you as testing the brackets and finding them at regular intervals throughout the formation?
--One sample we collected in June of 1985 was mostly iron oxide. But this was the only sample of this kind ever found there. And there was nothing about it to argue that it was not natural, especially given the fact that the underlying rock formation is a strip of igenous seafloor.
6. Was the article in that Fasold quotes in his book just a fabrication of David Fasold, or did you really "using a metal detector, Baumgardner has been able to confirm the existence of metal at regular intervals. Baumgardner says he believes that metal is at the points where these lines intersect, giving rise to the speculation metal was used in the infrastructure of this craft?"
--The method was a type of dowsing that David Fasold introduced and I naively copied. Upon discerning what it was, I forsook it.
Gary, I trust these excerpts of email from the last few months will give the visitors to your web site a better grasp of who is claiming what, regarding this boat-shaped formation. It should be evident that I, as a scientist with a Ph.D. in geophysics but also an earnest Christian, am absolutely convinced the site contains no remains of Noah's Ark. This conclusion was reached after eight trips to the area between 1985 and 1988 and two major geophysical investigations during the summers of 1987 and 1988 in collaboration with Dr. Salih Bayraktutan, a geologist, at Ataturk University in Erzurum, Turkey. In the 1987 effort we surveyed the site with ground penetrating radar that involved 72 separate traverses spaced two meters apart. We also took 1200 magnetometer readings in a detailed magnetometer survey. In addition we made several traverses with an exploration seismograph. In the 1988 effort we drilled four core holes and performed additional seismograph scans. It was the results of the core drilling that revealed, with no room for debate, that a long ridge-shaped block of rock lies along the centerline of the site. Mud flowing around this obstacle is responsible for the almond, or boat-like shape. The dark colored boulders are pieces of the igneous seafloor rocks that happen to underlie the site. The glaring absence of human artifacts of the sort implied by the visitation of multitudes of pilgrims reported by historians like Josephus is a final forceful argument against this being the true resting place of the Ark.
Also from these excerpts it should be clear that I consider Wyatt's misrepresentation of my views as morally wrong and dishonest. But his deception of multitudes of Christians who have not had the opportunity to check his claims firsthand as I have is an even worse crime. I give you permission to use these words of mine to warn people of this snare.

Marco Rubio, the Celebrity Apprentice
In a Wall Street Journal article titled, "Marco Rubio: Riding to the Immigration Rescue," Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., laid out the sketch of a bipartisan immigration reform platform. The article came as a surprise to the bipartisan group of senators who had been working on an immigration plan with and without Rubio for weeks.
The dig was subtle, but Rubio didn't let it go. "I am clearly new to this issue in terms of the Senate. I am not new in terms of my life," noted the Cuban-American senator from West Miami. "I live surrounded by immigrants. My neighbors are immigrants. My family is immigrants. Married into a family of immigrants."
The understated exchange between lawmakers in late January reflects how Rubio has used his compelling biography to cast himself in a starring role in the immigration debate and, beyond that, the future of the GOP.
In this week's National Journal cover story, Beth Reinhard explores Rubio's rise and potential as a GOP leader. In the video above, go behind the story with Reinhard herself.

Koh Samui Tours by Long-tail Boat
Let us transport you on the most exotic and elegant experience available.
Often said to be "the highlight of many a visitors stay on Samui," are our private long-tail boat tours of the Five Islands.
The islands are known locally as the "Four Islands-Five Islands" as one island is hidden behind another when viewed from the shore. These islands are protected by Sea Gypsy guards, who deal harshly with anyone trying to sneak in under cover of darkness. Such visitors are not tourists desperate for an adrenaline rush, but poachers who are out to thieve the bird's nests that are found within the caves and craggy rocks.
The bird's nests are the principle ingredient of Chinese bird's-nest soup. At great risk, agile gathers clamber up a web of bamboo poles to reach nests for which Hong Kong restaurants will pay up to $4000 a kilo. Few outsiders have ever set foot on the islands. However it is now possible, thanks to the commitment and trust of Colin Burgess and his team at The Five Islands Restaurant. You will see caves; beaches and bamboo dwellings perched precariously on limestone cliffs and pinnacles. During the tour you can enjoy chilled drinks, swim, snorkel and fed the tropical fish.
The tour will evoke a sense of awe and beauty to take with you on your voyage back to a delicious lunch or sunset dinner at The Five Islands Restaurant. After a refreshing shower you will be served cocktails on the beach before your meal.
There are two private boat tours – one in the morning and one in the afternoon – please review the details below before making a booking.

Each year, BLSA gains the many talents and strengths of its members to serve both the Law school and the St. Louis community. BLSA offer academic, professional, and social programs throughout the year. Additionally, we volunteer our time to community activism efforts, professional development workshops, social activities, cultural events, recruitment and retention outreach, alumni relations, and professional mentorship opportunities.
In 1968, Algernon Johnson "A.J." Cooper, former mayor of Prichard Alabama, founded the Black American Law Students Association (BALSA) at the New York University Law School.BALSA's purpose was to effectuate change in the legal system. The association endeavored to sensitize the law and legal profession to the ever-increasing needs of the Black community. This commitment has never wavered.
In 1983, BALSA revised its name.The word "American" was deleted to encompass all Blacks who were not of American nationality.Later, the word "National" was added to reflect the extent to which the organization had expanded.
The National Black Law Students Association (NBLSA), the largest student-run organization in America, has over 200 chapters at law schools throughout the country.This represents almost every ABA accredited law school, plus several non-accredited law schools.These chapters represent over 6,000 Black law students in six regions which encompass 48 states including Hawaii, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Recently, NBLSA established international links with Black law students in Canada, England and South Africa who decided to model their student organizations after NBLSA.
NBLSA's societal impact is enormous.In its effort to remain responsive to the needs of the Black community in general and the Black law student in particular, the NBLSA has initiated many worthy programs and is often active in joint-effort programming with other organizations that have goals and objectives analogous to its own.
NBLSA continues to conduct its prestigious Frederick Douglass Moot Court Competition and expand its national Adopt-A-School Program. In addition, through its Nelson Mandela Scholarship Program, NBLSA awards six scholarships of over $500.00 each to black law students annually. With emphasis on economic self-help, abolishing apartheid, and forwarding a progressive civil rights position, NBLSA continues its strong commitment to the objectives of the Association. Further, the Association maintains strong ties with the National Bar Association, the National Conference of Black Lawyers, the Council on Legal Education Opportunity, and the National Black Leadership Roundtable.
BLSA provides a support group that understands the unique challenges and concerns minority students face. Through mentorship programs, academic workshops, and social and professional networking opportunities, BLSA supports its members from their first year through graduation.
Already an integral part of the law school community, BLSA strives also to forge relationships with the local community through community service and presence."

What other kits had you been through previously?
In the past, I've owned 2 PDP's (one maple, one birch), a DW Collectors, Gretsch Renown Purewood Oak, a Keller shell custom maple and now this one. I do still own a Ludwig CM in Bonham sizes, and I love that for what it is (in other words, would never sell unless I had to). For a "bigger" kit, I love the power of Oak. As Bo mentioned, Oak shares many similarities with Bubinga. I won't knock the other companies, but I will say that the other maple kits just didn't have the power, shell resonance and low end that you find in the Oak Custom. The Gretsch kit had the same power, but the Yamahas definitely tune down much lower, not to mention I love the single-point lug, and mounting method a lot more. Another downside with the Gretsch was the inability to buy add-on drums.

Manchester United manager David Moyes has insisted that Danny Welbeck is vitally "important" to him amid reports of a possible summer exit.
The 23-year-old was heavily linked with Tottenham over the weekend, with rumours suggesting that he is ready to call time on his spell at Old Trafford after growing frustrated at a lack of action.
Welbeck was once again on the bench as United lost to Everton, however he did come on in the second-half.
He was unable to add to his 10 goals this term, but Moyes is adamant that the striker is a key man in his squad:
"Danny Welbeck is really important to me and I really value him." He is quoted by the Daily Mail.
"There have been lots of stories. I can only tell you Danny Welbeck is really important to me and really important to Manchester United."
Welbeck is an academy graduate and locally born player, which has made him a favourite among United's supporters.
Yet with two years on his contract Tottenham are said to be plotting a £20m move to lure him to White Hart Lane.
