Information size requirement
The information size is the number of participants required in a meta-analysis to reliably detect an intervention effect. This may be approximated by the sample size that would be needed for a single randomised controlled trial to detect the hypothesised intervention effect. For reviews with binary outcomes, please provide an estimate of the information size in your protocol, by calculating the sample size for a single RCT with 90% power at the 5% significance level. Please specify if your calculation is the total number of participants, or the number of participants required in each intervention group.
This information should be inserted in the Methods section, at the end of the Secondary Outcomes heading and above the heading about searching.
Incorporating GRADE evidence into your review
Pre-submission checklists for your Protocol or Review
Searching for studies
Authors will receive one set of search results to complete their review. The search for studies will be completed following publication of the protocol. Authors must screen the search results within one month of receipt and inform the editorial team of the number of potentially eligible studies. Based on the number of potentially eligible studies for inclusion into the review, the editorial team and authors will decide on a submission date for the full review.
As a general rule of thumb, the submission date will be based on allocating two weeks per included study. A review with two studies would be expected to be submitted within one month, while a review with 10 studies would be expected within five months. The editorial team is available to answer authors' questions while they complete their review, in order that the submission deadline can be met.
For reviews registered before 2014: It is now Group policy to run a pre-publication search while the review is at peer review so as to keep the search date as close to the publication date as possible. If no studies are found, we only need to edit the search date and numbers throughout the text. If studies are found, they are inserted into Awaiting Classification and a note put in the text to state that they will be included in the update – the publication of the review will not be delayed due to this extra search.

What Coaches Say vs What They Mean
July 25, 2012 at 10:03am by Scott • 1 Comment »
After all the publicity LeGarrette Blount's history of being late for practice and falling asleep in meetings got, Greg Schiano stuck up for him and let everyone know that Blount hasn't had that issue so far this year.
"I think that probably got blown out of proportion a little bit," Schiano said. "He probably had some troubles — I'm not really familiar with the facts — but that's all behind us. LeGarrette has been great. We've had workouts here, we've had OTAs, minicamps, and he's been on time for everything. It hasn't been an issue at all and I don't foresee that being an issue."
It may be that Raheem Morris had such a permissive locker room that Blount never felt his job was in jeopardy if he didn't show up on time. From the outset, I'm sure Schiano let the entire team know that all their jobs were in jeopardy if they didn't follow through with the basic — like showing up and staying awake. It hit Blount especially hard when he saw his replacement drafted in the first round in April. So he knows Schiano isn't fucking around and, likely as a result, has cleaned up his act.
"I have a lot of faith in LeGarrette," Schiano said. "LeGarrette has bought into what we're doing, he's working incredibly hard, and if you watch and you see the things he does from time to time, it's great — really great running back play. It's just we need to put those things together consistently."
And it's statements like that that will probably keep him in line, too. As positive as that paragraph looks, it is not complimentary. When your coach says he has a lot of faith in you, it means he hasn't seen the production. When he says you're working hard, it means you haven't achieved something yet. And if he says you're doing things well from time to time, it means he hasn't seen you do them consistently (Schiano is pretty explicit with that one). Lord help him if he says he's got a good motor.
One Comment to "What Coaches Say vs What They Mean"
jampersands (July 25, 2012 at 03:33pm) :
You're right, Schiano is clearly being reserved in his praise for Blount. I would be very surprised if Martin doesn't get the majority of the carries by the second half of the season, if for no other reason than money and the investment (read: 1st round draft pick) they've made in him.

What I mean is, an actor or actress you see in the movies that you wish was still around, even if they weren't acting anymore, but just kinda miss because you enjoyed their performances so much. (I hope this isn't too morbid a topic)
My first pick would be James Stewart. I shed a tear when they showed his face during the Oscar's "In Memorium" the year he died, and it struck me too about Paul Newman being gone now. And even Gloria Grahame…her performance in The Big Heat just always seems to break my heart, or even her small turn in It's a Wonderful Life – paraphrasing here, from Wonderful Life: "I just throw this dress on when I don't care HOW I look!" Beautiful.
Paul Newman
Anne Bancroft
Sandy Dennis
… and Eileen Heckart, for very personal reasons
Robert Mitchum. It happened a day before Jimmy Stewart, so no one seemed to care.
Jimmy stewart, John Wayne, Marlon Brando, James Dean, Humphrey Bogart, Lee van Cleef
I'm going to pick an actor who passed more recently – or at least was still quite active until he died: Heath Ledger.
Terridic performances in BROKEBACK and DRAK KNIGHT (of course) but also in BROTHERS GRIMM and CASANOVA and others.
So much potential obliterated.
And Eileen Heckart didn't make nearly enough films, dammit!
Jean Seberg. Katrin Cartlidge. Solveig Dommartin. Zoë Lund. Edie Sedgwick. Nico. Marlene Dietrich. River Phoenix, James Dean. Timothy Carey. Klaus Kinski. Oskar Werner. John Cassavetes. RAINER WERNER FASSBINDER.
John Cazale (married to Meryl Streep) died in '78, after having made only five features; but, as with Katrin Cartlidge, you can't see him working without wishing against hope that his body of work were bigger…
I'll second John Cazale. A true GOD.
I'll add Mel Blanc. One of the great actors of all time.
Richard Harris, Steve McQueen, Toshiro Mifune, Klaus Kinski, James Coburn, Natalie Wood, Paul Newman, Robert Mitchum, Romy Schneider, Charles Bronson…
I forgot Romy Schneider, yes.
Kate Hepburn; Guiletta Masina, Federico Fellini
Leslie Cheung
Solveig Dommartin
anne bancroft and natalie wood…the most.
everytime i watch "home for the holidays" and ann bancroft has one her moments it just makes me so sad from the bittersweetness of her performance.
Definitely second that about Katrin Cartlidge – brilliant performer (even in the okay CAREER GIRLS she was superb and heartbreaking). Wish Cary Grant was still around too. And Paul Newman, of course ("Hell, I've got vision; the rest of the world wears bifocals.")
John Cazale thirdeded and Natalie Wood I agree . . . and poor Bruno Anthony from Strangers on a Train (Robert Walker).
Robert Mitchum
I saw in some Hollywood celeb mag. recently- the Hollywood tombstones of some of our favorites that have recently passed…
I like that Jack Lemmon's gravestone reads… "Jack Lemmon (dob/dod)
(next line down) in…"
He even knew how to keep us laughing in death!
Klaus Kinski
John Cassavetes
George C. Scott
John Cazale, Roy Scheider, Dennis Hopper
Paul Newman
William Holden
Warren Oates
Lee Marvin
yes, Jimmy Stewart.. also Peter Lorre, Vincent Price, Lillian Gish, Marlon Brando…
Paul Newman. "Cool Hand Luke" just makes me sad when I see his smile.
Harry Dean Stanton. His gentle wonderful presence in so many films, and his singing.
Orson Welles. His voice alone makes me miss him.
Richard Burton. Same as with Orson.
Klaus Kinski. There will never be another one.
Audrey Hepburn. Timeless elegance without airs.
Natalie Wood. Burning eyes and burning presence.
Harry Dean Stanton is dead?
I kinda miss Brittany Murphy. She was so pretty, you know.
Harry Dean Stanton is well alive and kicking!
Dennis Hopper; the death of an iconic actor never struck me as much as the day I read that he had passed.
Bruno S.

A pocket portion formed extending from the tongue or gusset of a shoe or other footwear and wherein personal items may be contained, the pocket portion is formed of a pair of upper and lower liners, stitched together along their periphery, and having a closure, such as a zipper, for the same after such items have been enclosed therein; the pocket portion can be contiguously held against the shoe upper by means of any fastening device, such as Velcro, a hooking device, or through the use of the lacing that normally secures the shoe upon the foot of the wearer.
1. An athletic shoe with a gusset normally positioned beneath the shoe lacing and other securing means, over the instep of the wearer's foot, and incorporating a pocket for holding a key, coin, and related item, comprising, said gusset incorporating a tongue, a lower portion of the tongue being located over the instep of the wearer's foot and under the lacing and other securing means on the said shoe when said shoe is being worn, an upper portion of said tongue extending above said shoe lacing, a foldable portion appended to said upper portion of the said tongue, a pocket formed in said foldable portion and capable of holding a key, coin, and related item therein, said foldable portion being foldable over against said lacing to a position wherein said pocket is adjacent said shoe when said shoe is being worn, said foldable portion of the said upper portion of the tongue and the pocket formed therein being integral, and said upper portion and said lower portion of said tongue being integrally formed, the upper portion of said tongue comprising a pair of upper and lower liners stitched along their lateral edges to form said pocket and having a width equal to the width of the tongue in which the pocket is formed, said pocket being formed having side edges, said liners extending above said lacing, and said liners folding over as the foldable portion upon said lacing to a position wherein said pocket is adjacent said shoe, an access opening permitting placement and removal of said key, coin, and related item, into and from said pocket while said shoe is being worn, closure means for closing said access opening, said closure means comprising a zipper, said access opening being provided through one of said upper or lower liners forming the said pocket, said access opening and closure means extending approximately from one side edge to the other side edge of said formed pocket, and releasable holding means for aiding and holding said pocket adjacent said shoe when said shoe is being worn, said releasable holding means comprising a hook and pile connector, one of said hook and pile connector attaching with the underside of the lower liner, and aligned for attaching with the other hook and pile connector securing upon the shoe eyestay, and securing means interconnecting between the formed pocket portion and the footwear for retaining the said portion contiguously against the same during usage.
2. The invention of claim 1 and wherein said securing means comprising a hook means connecting with the lower liner of the formed pocket portion, and said hook means capable of selectively attaching onto said lacing to secure said pocket in its folded condition adjacent said footwear lacing.
3. The invention of claim 1 and including resilient means in said folding portion capable of being molded to conform the shape of the formed pocket to the adjacent shoe, and wherein said resilient means comprises a wire.
4. The invention of claim 1 and wherein said folding portion of the pocket having apertures therein, and designed for receiving said lacing when the shoe is being worn, said lacing serving to aid in holding said pocket adjacent said shoe when said lacing is inserted through said apertures and tied.
5. The invention of claim 1 and including strap means provided upon the lower liner of the pocket portion, and being formed of elastic material, said strap means disposed for retention of an item therein.
6. The invention of claim 5 and wherein said item comprising a golf tee.
This application is a continuation of the application having Ser. No. 190,791, filed on Sept. 25, 1980, and now abandoned.
This invention relates generally to footwear, and more particularly pertains to a pocket formed within or appended to the gusset or tongue of a shoe, and having utility for temporary storage of personal items during shoe usage, as when employed during sporting events, jogging, or the like.
One problem that repeatedly confronts the athlete, and particularly the modern sportsman who actively participates in golf, tennis, jogging, or the like, or even when partaking in various sports, such as hunting and fishing, is the ability to securely locate personal items in the category of tees, some loose change, money, and the like. Various means were earlier employed for assuring the safety of one's personal items, but particularly were designed for usage when some significant amounts of money were involved. For example, in the early United States patent to Diemer, U.S. Pat. No. 654,388, upon a shoe, means for securing valuable items concealingly within the calf portion of the shoe, and more specifically upon its internal portion that rest against the leg, was given consideration. Thus, the shown embodiment provided means for securing ones valuables such as money, and in addition to furnishing concealment of the same in the event that one was personally accosted, as by a theft. Various other forms of similar type pocket structures were used in association particularly with boots, as are also shown in the earlier United States patents to Wirsching, U.S. Pat. No. 1,289,341, McAuslin, U.S. Pat. No. 1,100,758, in addition to the patent to Avis, U.S. Pat. No. 1,342,149.
More contemporary inventors have given thought to various types of structure for forming pocket structures within shoes and boots, and such is shown in the United States patent to Corley, U.S. Pat. No. 2,908,082. In addition, the concept of adding decorativeness to the shoe through the addition of a purse or the like, as by attaching the same upon the frontal shoe upper, is shown in the United States patent to Bliese, U.S. Pat. No. 3,018,570, but the additional structure to form the purse as shown in this patent was integrally constructed into the vamp of the shoe itself, and therefore, made it difficult to insert and keys, money, or the like therein, and furthermore, when such objects of some hardness were located therein, would certainly constantly maintain pressure upon the foot of the wearer. The United States patent to Solomon, U.S. Pat. No. 2,712,700, shows another means for adding some decoration to a shoe through the addition of a purse, or the like. Furthermore, the adding of a holding means having some utility to the shoe, as by securing the same through its laces to the shoe, is shown in the golf tee holder as devised by Perry in his U.S. Pat. No. 2,662,677. Similar type devices are currently available upon the market. All of the foregoing embodiments have utility for holding some component of personal item, such as money, in a concealed fashion upon its wearer, while the current invention, to the contrary, intends to provide a pocket portion that can be built structurally and foldably onto the gusset or tongue of the footwear, so as to hold smaller personal items such as keys and money, while further incorporating, in its construction, various means for assuring the retention of the pocket portion onto and contiguously with the shoe upper portion, at the location of its lacings, so as to prevent the untimely loss of such items.
It is, therefore, the principal object of this invention to provide a pocket portion that is structurally built foldably onto the gusset or tongue portion of footwear, whether it be tennis shoes, jogging shoes, golf shoes, hunting shoes, work shoes, or standard dress shoes, and which incorporates closure means for the pocket portion so as to assure that personal items contained therein will not be inadvertently lost by the wearer.
Another object of this invention is to provide a pocket portion that is integrally structured foldably connected onto the tongue portion of the shoe gusset, and which can assure the safety of items enclosed therein, while at the same time enhancing the attractiveness of the footwear.
Another object of this invention is to provide fastening and securing means that snugly hold the pocket portion contiguously against the upper portion of the shoe particularly at the location of its lacing.
A further object of this invention is to provide a footwear pocket, conveniently built appending onto the structure of the shoe, and which incorporates an opening or slot into which personal items may be quickly inserted, for safety and storage, but which items do not exert any pressure or bind onto the wearer's foot during footwear usage.
Another object of this invention is to provide a shoe pocket integrally formed into the structure of the shoe and which can be conveniently and promptly installed during a stage of shoe assembly.
A further object of this invention is to provide resilient means within the structure of a shoe or footwear pocket that enhances the formation of the said pocket portion and for its locating contiguously against the upper part of the said shoe.
Still another object of this invention is to provide a pocket portion for a shoe and which contains supplemental strap means that may hold golf tees, or the like, to facilitate their usage.
These and other objects will become more apparent to those skilled in the art upon reviewing the summary of this invention, and upon undertaking a study of the description of its preferred embodiment in view of the drawings.
This invention contemplates the formation of a supplemental pocket for storage of smaller personal items, as aforesaid, and which pocket is appended to the gusset or formed tongue of the shoe, which normally underlies the lacing that ties the shoe upon the foot of its wearer. More specifically, the pocket portion is formed of a pair of liners, an upper and lower liner in structure, and which liners integrally foldably extend from the said footwear tongue, so as to freely appended from it, and capable of having the aforesaid type of items located therein, with said pocket portion then being folded over into an overlying relationship contiguously against the upper surface of the footwear, and more specifically overlying its lacing and eyestays. In this manner, any rigid items located within the pocket portion are independently supported by said portion, and do not bind against the footwear components, and therefore against the foot of the wearer, such as can occur with some of the prior art type of formed shoe containers.
In its construction, the pocket portion is formed of the pair of liners as previously explained, with the upper liner having an opening or slot provided therethrough, so that access can be obtained into the pocket, and with fastening means, such as a zipper, provided for closure of the said access opening after items have been located therein, although, said access opening could be located through the lower liner also. In addition, various fastening means are provided upon the lower liner of the pocket portion, and in one instance, a segment of VELCRO is provided along the edges of the formed pocket, and can interconnect and fasten with similar segments of Velcro provided aligned along the eyestays provided to either side of the footwear lacing. Thus, when the pocket portion is folded over into its overlying relationship during usage, and pressed, the VELCRO interconnects so as to maintain the snugness and contiguousness of the pocket portion upon the shoe upper, and thereby prevent its flapping during usage. So as to assure that the pocket portion does not come loose, another fastening means, in the nature of a hook, or the like, is provided proximate the bottom end of the formed pocket, securing upon the underliner, and which hook can clamp onto the lacing therebelow so as to assure that the pocket portion will remain intact, during footwear usage.
Supplemental means are provided for assuring that the pocket portion will undertake and maintain its proper positioning during shoe usage, and this includes the locating of a resilient means, such as wire, within the lower edge of the formed pocket, so that when the pocket is folded over into its usable configuration, and pressed, the malleable wire undertakes the configuration of the shoe upper, and thereby increases the ability of the pocket to remain intact. In addition, a pair of apertures are provided through the upper portion of the formed pocket, and have grommets secured therethrough, so that the upper strings of the lacing may be inserted therethrough, after their tightening in conjunction with the eyestays, and with said inserted lacings being tied in a bow, or other knot, for securely urging the upper part of the pocket portion downwardly against the located lacing, and thereby, once again, prevent the pocket portion from flapping during shoe usage.
Supplemental means are provided in conjunction with the formation of the pocket portion, to allow for the suspension of other usable items, such as a gold tee, when the pocket portion is structured into the configuration of a golf shoe, so as to allow the golfer to obtain ready access to the tees, when needed, but yet said tees are firmly held in place upon the shoe. This can be achieved by the locating of a strap or band fastened or otherwise stitched to the lower liner of the pocket portion, preferably being formed of some elastic material, so that a golf tee(s) may be inserted within its formed loop, and secured in place, as when not needed, but can be readily obtained by the golfer by simply lifting up of the pocket portion to obtain ready access to the tees.
It must be commented that the concept of this invention of providing a pocket portion, and one that may even have the supplemental elastic straps or bands applied to its underside, can be used upon a variety of footwear. For example, it can be used upon jogging shoes, tennis shoes, hunting boots, workshoes, casual loafers, or any of the variety of styles of shoes readily available upon the market.
In the drawings,
FIG. 1 discloses a plan view of the footwear with gusset pocket of this invention;
FIG. 2 provides a left side view of the footwear shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 provides a front view of the footwear shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 discloses a plan view of the footwear of FIG. 1, with the pocket portion being folded upwardly to disclose lacing in the process of being secured through the eye stays of the footwear;
FIG. 5 provides a left side view of the footwear shown in FIG. 4; and
FIG. 6 discloses a front view of the footwear shown in FIG. 4.
In referring to the drawings, and in particular FIGS. 1 through 3, there is shown a shoe 1 comprising, in this particular instance, an athletic shoe, as for use for jogging purposes, and which is formed having the usual components containing the vamp portion 2 having eye stay 3 containing the lacing 4 that is normally used for tying the shoe about the foot of the wearer. In addition, the shoe is formed having the usual quarter portions 5 and heel 6, having the located spacing 7 wherein the foot may be inserted. In this particular design, the shoe also contains the usual tongue or gusset portion 8 underlying the lacing, and in this particular instance, the upper part of the gusset is formed having integrally connected thereto a pocket portion 9 which is formed integrally folded, as at 10, with said gusset. As shown, this pocket portion contains an opening, as at 11, therethrough, and is provided with closure means, such as the zipper 12, as shown, which can be manipulated for providing closure to the pocket portion 9. This pocket is designed for holding keys, as at K, or other items of similar nature therein, for safekeeping during jogging, hiking, and where this particular feature is built into other type shoes, can be used for the safe keeping of similar type items during hunting, working, or the like.
In referring to FIG. 4, it can be seen that the pocket portion 9 is clearly foldably connected with the gusset, or tongue of the shoe 8. The pocket portion is formed having an upper liner 13 and a lower liner 14, both of which are stitched together, as at 15, around their periphery, and in addition, if desired, stitching may be provided along the fold line 10, so as to prevent any items from sliding down into the gusset or tongue 8 of the formed pocket.
Once the personal items are located into position within the pocket portion, such being shown in the process of being accomplished in FIG. 1, the pocket portion is folded over into an overlying relationship with the shoe lacing, and can be adhered contiguously thereover, through the use of various fastening means, such as the VELCRO 16, as shown. Such VELCRO is provided aligned adjacent with each eyestay of the shoe, as at 17, with the complementary portion of the VELCRO as at 18, being provided along the approximate marginal side edges of the lower liner 14.
In addition, and to assure the retention of the pocket portion into its contiguous relationship upon the shoe lacing, a hook means 19 is provided, being secured with the lower liner 14 of the pocket portion, and when the said portion is folded over into its overlying relationship, said hook 19 may be conveniently disposed for hooking onto one of the lacing, as at 20, for assuring the retention, for as long as desired, of the pocket portion upon the shoe, and to prevent its flapping in place as when worn by a jogger.
Futhermore, and as also can be seen in FIGS. 4 through 6, the lacing secures normally through its various eyelets, as at 21, in addition to lacing through each of the eyestays, as at 22. Furthermore, once the lacing is aligned through the upper eyestay, as at 22, as shown, it is then inserted through a pair of apertures 23 provided through the pocket portion just marginally upwardly from the fold line 10, and when the pocket portion is then folded over into its contiguous position, the lacing is then tied in the form of a bow, or otherwise, for once again assuring the downward exertion of pressure upon the said pocket portion for its maintenance in contiguity upon the shoe upper and lacing. This can also be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3.
As a supplemental feature for this invention, a strap means 24 may be secured upon the lower liner 14 of the pocket portion, and may be formed of elastic material, or the like, and in this position provides an internal loop, as at 25, and under which various items, such as a golf tee, may be inserted, and retained in position, with its ready access being conveniently disposed for the golfer when he needs a tee for teeing up the ball upon the driving area. Thus, this added feature may be applied to the pocket portion when it is used in association upon a golf shoe.
In addition to the foregoing, and in order to assure that the pocket portion will remain in an overlying and contiguous relationship upon the shoe lacing, a resilient or malleable item, 26, such as a piece of wire, or plastic wire, may be stitched into approximately the lower seam of the pocket portion, as shown, and when the said portion is folded over into its overlying relationship, and pressed down upon its paired VELCRO segments, said wire will conform the pocket portion to the shape of the underlying shoe, and reasonably assure its retention in contiguity upon said shoe.
Variations or modifications to the shoe or footwear with gusset pocket may occur to those skilled in the art upon reviewing the subject matter of this invention. Such modifications or variations to this invention, as may occur to those skilled in the art upon reviewing the summary of the invention, if within the spirit of this invention, are intended to be encompassed within the scope of any claims to patent protection issuing upon this invention. The description of the preferred embodiment set forth herein is done so for illustrative purposes only.

One year I wanted a fun way to bring s'mores to a party. I doubted the hostess would be pleased if I showed up with a bag of marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate bars and asked if she would, kindly, set up a fire. So, I brought a s'more pie instead. My friends, a mix of folks who love to camp and those who don't, all agreed that the pie reminded them the classic campfire treat.
To make it, simply prepare a gluten-free graham cracker crust, fill it with chocolate pudding (homemade or boxed) and top with marshmallows. Since s'mores require toasted marshmallows, I put the pie under the broiler to toast them.
Is this pie a replacement for classic s'mores? No! Of course not. But it's fun—and tasty too. And, it doesn't require a fire to make!

The words "fight, fight, fight" chanted during the 1969 protest against Harvard's Reserve Officers' Training Corps may share a superficial similarity to "fight the cuts," a rallying cry during the March for Common Sense this April. But the two protests couldn't have been more different.
The 1969 rally ended with police clubbing and teargassing the protesters over 300 of whom were arrested, but the other ended with all protesters peacefully returning home after presenting their demands to Mass. Senator John Kerry.
While the concussions and bruises that resulted four decades ago may have been especially brutal even for a period marked by intense student activism, in its own way last month's rally was an aberration. For a generation raised on a steady diet of Facebook and Twitter, activists are less eager to leave behind their laptops and pick up picket signs, many students say.
This generation of Harvard protesters often puts dialogue before destruction, classes before causes, and private conversation before public confrontation.
The commitment hasn't abated, students say, but the strategy has changed.
"Today's Harvard student is a rule follower. They're at Harvard because they followed the rules. They do well at Harvard because they follow the rules and the rules are to follow the system," says Michael W. McLean '12, president of the Harvard Republican Club.
In order to start one's career as a modern activist, a Harvard undergraduate must look no further than the course catalog.
Students this year have spurred the creation of a new secondary field in Innovation for Social Change, an interdisciplinary program that has been sponsored by the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
While many of the details are still being worked out, the secondary field will give students the opportunity to explore a range of real world tactics to create social change.
"You get to Harvard and you're sitting in Tercentenary Theater and President [Drew G.] Faust is telling you how you're going to change the world, but there's no real institutional support to motivate further thinking and a deeper analysis," says Bonnie Cao '12, vice president of the Undergraduate Council.
Even outside the classroom, Harvard activists tend to take incremental steps to further their causes, before adopting more disruptive strategies.
When students first found out about the $650,000 fund to honor former Social Studies Head Tutor Martin "Marty" H. Peretz—who had previously made controversial comments about the Muslim community—they gathered in dorm rooms, not to organize a protest, but rather to draft a letter to the Social Studies department to explain their concerns.
It was only after the department failed to reverse its decision about the fund that students expanded the scope of their efforts with protests in front of the Science Center, putting public pressure on the University, according to Abdelnasser Rashid '11.

At the end of County Road 393S on 30A is a park and public beach access that is used by many every day.
The name of the park is Ed Walline.
Most who use the park and beach access never knew the man for whom it was named or anything about him.
At his funeral on March 24, 1975 people who knew Ed Walline said he was the most honest man they had ever known. He would help anyone do anything, if he was able.
Edwin Rurick Walline was born to Adrian and Edla Walline in
Weighing in at just over 2 pounds, Walline had rickets when young and suffered a handicap for the rest of his life.
Walline's mother had a heart condition and couldn't take
Adrian and Edla homesteaded on 180 acres in South Walton between the two
The family bought supplies from a boat that would come to Point Washington once a month.
Ed only finished the 11th grade, but he was very smart, said his friend, Malcolm Patterson.
As an adult, Walline had a variety of jobs. The governor appointed him to the position of a constable in 1937.
During World War II he worked at the shipyard in
He also assisted in cattle drives, worked as a merchant marine on
A confirmed bachelor, Walline met his wife, Jane, in the early 1950s and they married in 1952. They had one child — Adrianne — who still lives in the area.
Walline's hand helped steer the community. He served on the Board of Trustees of Chelco, the local REA, the Board of Rural Renewal Housing of Walton County, he was on the Board of Directors and was a founding father of the South Walton Volunteer Fire Department. He was a member of the Lions Club, the Masonic Lodge, he was a founding father and chairman of the South Walton Mosquito Control District, and a member of the
Walline retired from building in 1970.
His funeral in 1975 was held at Point Washington UMC, which was packed with people, and more stood outside. The sheriff attended and the procession was more than 2 miles long as it made its way to
"The people who spoke at his funeral said he was the most honest man they had ever known, always willing to help a friend," said Adrianne.
"Ed was a wonderful man who had overcome much to become successful in life," said Patterson, who was the first executive director of the Walton County Tourist Development Council. "He was a master builder and a very smart man who was often discriminated against because of his handicap. He built most of the early fine homes in this area. He was a hands-on builder; on the job every day, wearing a tool belt, directing and doing most of the work. He started and nourished the Mosquito Control District and would be quite proud of what that organization is today. The park that is named for him was to pay tribute to a man who had overcome so much and accomplished so much personally and given so much to the community. I had the great honor of knowing Ed very well and calling him my friend. So few people living here now have any idea who he was or the contributions he made and left behind. The park was already named when I came on board at the TDC in 1988, but we made improvements. Building it was a labor of love for me. Every day that I pass it or hear the name, I recall the wonderful man whose name it bears."
"He was the bestest guy," agreed his daughter. "Naming a park for him was quite an honor."
The park was named in 1987.
Adrianne, who was born and raised in South Walton, now lives in DeFuniak Springs. She has compiled a book of photos of the area named "Vintage Life in South Walton." The photos date back to 1912.
A lot of the acreage homesteaded by her grandparents was sold to DuPont, which is now the St. Joe Company.

Most Orange schools met, exceeded growth on testing
More than 75 percent of Orange County Schools' students met both state and federal targets as revealed with the release of the 2012-13 test scores on Nov. 7.
The scores were presented to the OCS board of education at its regular business meeting Tuesday. Overall, the district met 86.5 percent of its state targets and 92.1 percent of the federal targets.
The N.C. Department of Public Instruction released on Nov. 7 the end of year testing results for districts across the state. Originally set to be released in August, the scores were delayed until the state could establish what would be considered passing and failing scores.
According to the results, Orange County Schools had three of its 12 schools exceed state growth, seven met state growth status and all of the district's schools met 84 percent or higher on federal targets.
"I was very pleased to celebrate the successes of our district," OCS Superintendent Gerri Martin said in an email. "It is evident that our teachers and staffs worked very hard last year. We had 10 of 12 schools who met or exceeded growth under the new bar. We were also above the state averages in all but one tested area."
OCS had a four-year cohort graduation rate of 82.5 percent and a five-year cohort graduation rate of 87.4 percent. The district also met 100 percent of the state targets in several areas: reading and math in third through eighth grades, fifth- and eighth-grade science, 10th-grade reading, current year End-of-Course tests, attendance and ACT WorkKeys.
The schools that did not meet or exceed growth are Efland Cheek Elementary and A.L. Stanback Middle.
Orange High, Gravely Hill Middle, C.W. Stanford Middle, Pathways Elementary, Hillsborough Elementary, Grady A. Brown Elementary and Central Elementary all met expected growth for the 2012-13 school year.
Cameron Park Elementary, New Hope Elementary and Cedar Ridge High all exceeded growth status.
Among the missed state targets were several subgroups in 10th-grade math, 11th-grade science, the ACT, math course rigor and the graduation rate among the economically disadvantaged and students with disabilities.
Test for districts nationwide dropped with the introduction of new standards.
Martin sent a letter home to parents alerting them to the possible drop in test scores as new tests and curriculum have been adopted to help "all students to be on track for success in college and career when they graduate from high school."
Sent with the letters were Individual Student Reports of each child's test scores that was meant to help parents and schools address the individual needs of each student.
"A standardized test score is just a single indicator of student performance and just one piece of the educational picture in a school district," Martin's letter to families said. "Your child's teacher can best describe your child's performance on the tests in addition to specific strengths and weaknesses observed throughout the school year."
Martin added that, "while it is important for us to celebrate, it is also important for us to always seek ways to do better in reaching every student."

(AP) MAPUTO, Mozambique - A judge in Mozambique has ordered the release of a businessman convicted of ordering the 2000 murder of one of the country's top investigative journalists.
Vicente Ramaya was serving a prison sentence of more than 23 years for his part in the murder of journalist Carlos Cardoso.
Judge Aderito Malhope on Tuesday signed papers granting Ramay's release because of good behavior.
Legal experts quoted by the Mozambique News Agency said the early release was an extraordinary decision, in part because no court-ordered compensation had yet been paid by Ramaya or others convicted in the crime.

Moore's Patent Revolver.
Wednesday, May 16, 2012 Filed in: Revolvers, History, Shooting industry
Not sure how I found this civil war blog (Uncle? Tam? Someone else?), but it has a great article on Moore's Patent Revolver - the first revolver with a swing-out cylinder (though not quite of the kind we're used to.)
It's also interesting in that it was one of the many guns which violated Rollin White's bored-through cylinder patent. History buffs may recall that White was a Colt employee who first presented his idea to allow a revolver cylinder to chamber metallic cartridges to his boss, Colonel Colt. Colt rejected it out of hand. White knew he was onto something, and left Colt to market his patent.
Messieurs Smith and Wesson, enterprising and astute gentlemen that they were, knew a good thing when they saw it and licensed White's patent. This agreement was really the foundation of their new handgun company, and they used it to produce their first revolver - the Model 1. That patent made Smith and Wesson rich, allowed them to grow like crazy relative to Colt, and should have made White rich too. It would have, if he'd bothered to consider the fine print.
You see, the licensing agreement required White to pursue all litigation against infringers himself. Moore, like many others, used White's patent without license - and White was obligated to go after his revolver and his company. White would sue, win, and then Smith & Wesson would somehow end up acquiring the infringing guns - which they would sell themselves. (I've never read the licensing agreement, so I can't be sure exactly how that transpired, but Moore's case isn't the only example.)
Ironically, Moore's company survived and was purchased by White's old employer, Colt, in 1870. More ironically, while Moore survived White's fortune didn't; his defense of his patent cost him nearly everything he made in royalties.
I'm thinking of a writing a firearms industry soap opera: "As The Cylinder Turns."

A series of burglaries occurred in Columbia City over the weekend, according to city police.
The Columbia City Police Department said Monday it had reports of four burglaries or attempted burglaries which occurred between 2 and 5 a.m. Friday morning.
In three of the cases, suspects entered the homes and in all four cases, the occupants of the houses were home at the time of the crime.
"It was a situation where the weather played a factor," said Capt. Brian Anspach of the city police department.
Anspach said warmer weather played a role in the burglaries as the victims had their windows open for ventilation.
The first report came in at 2 a.m. Friday in the 300 block of North Washington Street.
The other complaints occurred in the Hilltop edition, 100 Block of East Jefferson Street and the 200 block of South Whitley Street.
Cash and electronics were taken from some of the locations, Anspach said.
Anspach said he thinks one of the burglaries was thwarted by the occupants.
"They heard a noise, but didn't get a look at the suspect," he said.
Anspach said the department is asking anyone who noticed anything odd in the neighborhoods mentioned or anyone having any information in these burglaries to call the department at 248-5121.
Anspach advised residents to secure their homes and added that they should make sure their valuables can't be seen through any windows.

Airline exec: 'Seatbelts don't matter'
By AUBREY COHEN, SEATTLEPI.COM STAFF : November 10, 2012
Photo By DANI POZO/AFP/Getty Images
Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary's latst comment is that airplane "seatbelts don't matter" and people should be allowed to stand througout flights. Click on for some of O'Leary's other attention-getting statements.

This September, O'Leary said a traveler who complained about the steep fee for printing her boarding pass at the airport "should pay 60 euros for being so stupid."
Last year, commenting in his idea for in-flight porn, O'Leary said: "I'm not talking about having it on screens on the back of seats for everyone to see. It would be on handheld devices."

On service: "Our flights are noisy, full and we are always trying to sell you something" and "No we shouldn't give you a bloody cup of coffee. We only charge 19 Euro for the ticket."

On security measures: "It feels like Laurel and bloody Hardy are working at the Department of Transport, coming up with these security measures. The western world is not in danger from lethal toiletries."
Seatbelts on planes are pointless, and passengers should be able to buy standing-room-only tickets, according to Michael O'Leary, chief executive of Irish discount airline Ryanair.
"If there ever was a crash on an aircraft, God forbid, a seatbelt won't save you." O'Leary told The Telegraph. "Seatbelts don't matter."
O'Leary, of course, has suggested charging to use airplane lavatories. His seatbelt comments tie into his stated desire to remove the last 10 rows of seats in airplanes to create a standing section.
While seatbelts probably won't help in a major crash, they can make a difference in turbulence, rough landings and minor mishaps.
O'Leary addressed this argument, saying: "We're not talking about areas of huge turbulence around Europe" and "We don't have heavy landings anymore."

Bond lowered for mother of missing toddlerWritten by Casey Harper | | email@example.com
Updated at 3:20 p.m. June 26 with response from bail bondsmen
Angela Steinfurth, the mother of missing 18-month-old toddler Elaina, had her bond lowered to $100,000 with no ten percent option at an arraignment June 26. However, according to multiple Toledo-area bail bondsmen, Angela could walk out of jail now for $5,000.
Angela was originally held on a child endangerment charge with a $250,000 bond, but she was indicted on obstruction of justice. She was arrested June 12 and her pretrial is set for July 24.
"I don't feel that she should get out," said Terry Steinfurth Sr., Elaina's grandfather on her father's side. "Until that baby is found, I think she should sit. I feel she knows more than what she's saying."
Every bail bondsmen surveyed by Toledo Free Press said they would pay Angela's bond for $5,000 and could set up a payment plan for an additional $5,000.
"If she has family support, she could be already out," said Shon Hunter, owner of In and Out 24/7 Bail Bonds.
Judge Gary Cook set Angela's bond with no option to pay ten percent. If a judge sets a bond with no percentage option, the incarcerated person can either stay in jail or find a way to get ten percent of the money to a bail bondsmen as a nonrefundable fee. Once the person pays the fee and gets cosigners and collateral property put up, the bail bondsmen will pay the bond so the incarcerated person can get out of jail. If the released person disappears and does not appear in court, the bondsman is responsible for finding the incarcerated person or covering the bond.
The possibility of Angela being back on the street raises questions concerning her safety given the national attention the missing child has garnered.
At press time, Angela is still in Lucas County Correctional Facility awaiting trial for the obstruction of justice charge.
Elaina was reported missing June 2 when her father Terry Steinfurth Jr. came to pick up his daughter between noon and 1 p.m. at a home on Federal Street. An argument ensued when Angela refused to give him Elaina, according to several witnesses.
Almost an hour after the start of the argument, Angela went in to get Elaina but came out "crying and screaming" that Elaina was gone, according to Steinfurth Sr.
The family began searching the area for Elaina. They called the police when she could not be found.

Six Ways to Help a Laid-Off Photographer Get Started as a Freelancer
Posted By John Harrington On July 24, 2008 @ 7:19 am In Business of Photography | 1 Comment
I was, at one time, a staff photographer for a magazine. So was this other guy. Rather than let one of us go, they offered us both half-time. I said yes, panicked that I was; he said no, and left. I thought this meant I could stay, but I was wrong. This began a rushed effort to become self-sufficient and my own boss. It didn't come at an opportune time — but with Corporate America, it never does.
Today, the staff photographer is an endangered species, with layoffs a constant drumbeat in the industry — and new freelancers born every day. If you're a freelance photographer as I am, your first inclination might be to worry about the increased competition. But I encourage you, instead, to embrace your new brethren — for their sake and yours.
Help Me Help You
Why help these laid-off staffers? Because they don't know the ropes. And because, if you don't help them, they might take assignments for less than they're worth — which will create downward pressure on rates for all of us.
I know it sounds counterintuitive, but you need to help these folks get work. Really. The question is — how?
If your normal rate for a wedding is $3,500, or covering a press conference is $750, or your family/pet/child portrait sitting rate is $350 and an enlargement is $950, then rather than trying to convince your newfound friend to charge those rates, just book the job on their behalf — at those rates. By doing so, you will show your friend what they're worth, so they will apply that same rate structure to people calling them directly.
Everyone, from time to time, gets a call for job they can't take. Don't just forward the job on to your friend and hope they negotiate it wisely. Make sure it's done at the right price by accepting the job, hiring your colleague to do the assignment, and then passing the payment on to them.
Six Ways to Help
Here are six other areas where you can help a newly minted freelance photographer:
1. Creating contracts. If a photographer has been a staffer for a while, it's likely their last agreement to provide photography was done on a handshake. If a photographer has only been a staffer for a couple of years and started straight out of school, they, too, probably don't understand the importance of a contract. Give them a copy of yours (preferably in a Word document so they can edit it) to get them started.
2. Buying equipment. They likely need help getting their equipment set up. They may have been given their old equipment from their place of work, but in most cases the gear is probably on its last legs. Redundant camera bodies, and lenses ranging from ultra-wide – 14-24mm Nikon, or 16-35mm Canon, all the way to 200mm lenses for each, plus two strobes, and a Jackrabbit/Quantum battery pack will be sufficient.
3. Buying software. Laid-off staffers may have laptops, but might not be clear about the importance of backing up images or buying legal copies of the software they'll need. Don't start them off on the wrong foot by giving them copies of your software. We recommend they get full versions, registered in their own name, of Photoshop, Photo Mechanic, FotoQuote, Microsoft Office 2008, and QuickBooks Pro.
4. Talking to clients. Share your war stories and how you learned to secure the rates you deserve. Be sure to tell them that when the client says, "Oh, you're the first photographer I've talked with that has a problem with _____," where the blank is "work-for-hire", "wanting to be paid," "charges for post production," or "wanting a contract signed," they're probably lying.
5. Online marketing. This one's tricky, because if you're not careful, you'll teach your new freelancer how to compete with you. But you can help them get a Web site up, and explain to them that online marketing is critical. The notion of having a printed portfolio these days applies to 10 percent or less of the assignment work out there (much of which is in the advertising field), so an online portfolio is the way to go.
6. Pricing and rates. The first thing you should do is send them to the NPPA's pricing calculator [2]. This calculator works for the vast majority of photographic fields, and gets your colleagues thinking about the true costs of doing business — which in turn, will assist them in calculating what they should charge. The biggest problem with photography rates today is not that they're too high; it's that photographers fail to contemplate the total costs of being in business, and thus price jobs too low.
I went to dinner recently with a colleague who thought he'd won his golden ticket; it was a staff job at a community newspaper. Less than three months later, he was laid off. Guess what? He wasn't even eligible to collect unemployment. Everyone is replaceable. No one is safe. In this environment, learning to be self-sufficient — and helping others to do the same — is more important than ever.

As always great job. Most of all I think you have helped to underline why people need to join the photography community. Joining NPPA, ASMP or WPPA for example will help these new freelancers get plugged into a group of other photographers.
The other thing you also highlight is how we are colleagues and not competition.
Photojournalists need to learn that the Ethics for making photographs are not the only ethics they need to know. Business Ethics is also required to succeed. You again have highlighted this in your points.
I would like to add a 7th way to help. Be a friend. This might be like a mentor at times, but some of these photographers are better photographers than us. We need to create a relationship with them that they will want to seek out our business advice. Sometimes we will just need to listen as they vent. Other times we may need to share our struggles as well--this way they understand we too are struggling and it isn't a cake walk.
Thanks for your continued giving back to the profession. I can see by telling others your secrets of business hasn't hurt your business, but rather has helped you grow an even more successful brand.

Chronological Order of Gospel Events
of the Gospels
Four Gospels Together is a part of
Spreading Light Ministries. To read about the ministry and
its founder,
see here. To follow updates regarding the ministry and
its websites check out
A Pastor's Thoughts.
Four Gospels Together grew out of a sermon
series on the gospel of John. Pastor Mike discovered that
so many well know gospel stories do not have all of the well
known details in one book. So he had to cross reference
the other gospels to find all of the details which became a time
consuming thing, even with the help of online and electronic
Online gospel harmonies were sadly lacking as
some amounted to nothing more than a chronological listing of
events of the four gospels. Although there are probably
other useful resources out there, Pastor Mike decided to write
his own gospel harmony in order to have exactly the resources
that he wanted. In the end, all versions of the same story
are recorded next to each other so that the reader can easily
compare difference. Commentary is given on each story or
event and the main differences between the books is recorded as
well as explanations for any seeming discrepancies.
We hope that you will find this site a very
valuable resource in studying the gospels and the life of Jesus.

Select Local Merchants
Bacci PizzeriaRead MoreBacci in Elmwood Park is a well-known pizza place, offering a casual ambience with wonderful pizza and good sandwiches. It's a popular restaurant for guests that want awesome food. Defined by its outdoor seating, the restaurant is a fantastic option when the Illinois weather is suitable. There's not really a recommended attire, so feel free to dress comfortably. Also, though the prices are considered to be lower than average, you aren't going to sacrifice any quality. In fact, you should be able to enjoy a good meal for $11 or $12, and can probably get in and out for $8 if you try. For those watching what they eat, the robust menu does feature items that are gluten-free, low-fat, and vegetarian. Plus, it's been tabbed as a nice option for both families with children and large groups. WiFi's available if you're trying to get some work done, and in addition to its quick service (take-out is available), the restaurant also offers delivery, and can even cater an event for you. A good option for both lunch and dinner, Bacci definitely won't leave you disappointed, no matter how you slice it.7530 W Grand AveElmwood Park, IL US
Inari SushiRead MoreOne of the most-visited Japanese restaurants in Elmwood Park, Inari features wonderful sushi. It's a culinary destination for visitors seeking delightful service and awesome food.

Mint Conditioning SpaRead MoreThe skilled tanning specialists at Mint Conditioning Spa's Elmwood Park studio spoon-feed skin with nutrients and rich, golden color. The scents of flickering candles share the air with sighs of contentment at the spa's newly renovated facility, which houses a range of modern equipment alongside plush massage beds and bottles filled to the brim with exfoliating facial products. Like the collagen-reactivating facial, an FDA-cleared Lipomassage system works to tighten skin while it tones the body's contours and releases fat cells trapped in posteriors, legs, and behind rib-cage bars.7310 W North AveElmwood Park, IL US
Park Place Dental LlcRead MoreAttending lectures, meetings, and conventions are just a few of the ways the staff at Park Place Dental make sure they stay abreast of the latest innovations in dental care. Dr. Jason Genta uses this information to perform treatments, preventative and curative, as well as cosmetic procedures such as tooth whitening. During appointments, optional nitrous oxide gas helps patients relax, which can be difficult to do when they're focused on memorizing the dentist's every move in case they need to play one on TV.7702 W North Ave.Elmwood Park, IL US
Savi Hair Studio, Tan & NailsRead MoreThe staffers at Savi Hair Studio, Tan & Nails know that a grumbling stomach can ruin a relaxing spa day as surely as it can ruin a congressional hearing on manners. That's why they've designed the six-hour Day of Beauty to include a light lunch in between an aromatherapy facial, mani-pedi, shampoo and style, and makeup application. But even with a meal break, this package still can't claim to be a comprehensive survey of the studio's specialties, which also include Swedish and sports massages, bikini waxing, and tanning in a standup booth.7508 W Grand Ave.Elmwood Park, IL US

Perpetually Thankful
A short week calls for a short newsletter! Tomorrow is Cranberry Day! Yippee!! Thank you to all the folks who sent in donations to help make our day one filled with fun & learning.
This weekend, I wrote two articles on our blog – one is about the effect I'm seeing when the iPads come into the classroom. In my presentations at recent conferences, I've been calling it The iPad Effect, and the list is growing….
I also have been adding to our iPaddling pages, where you'll see the ways we've been putting our new technology to use.
No official homework tonight – but I'm telling students that they should help out around the house in the next few days in preparation for the holiday weekend. Whether that means cleaning, cooking, child care or completely staying out of the way, I hope 204 friends are all cooperative in that regard .
Enjoy the long weekend with your families, and rest up for a learning-filled December!!
Dream Big!
PS: Donations for our Hurricane Sandy collection are due on Tuesday. Send 'em in, and we'll ship them off! Thank you!!!

The University of Houston-Downtown will be closed Monday, May 30, for the Memorial Day holiday.
Political science students donate to homeless
Political Science class (POLS 2304) students recently donated 132 pairs of socks for the homeless via the Way Station at Palmer Memorial Episcopal Church, 6221 Main St.
The Way Station will distribute the socks to the homeless population they serve, said Adolfo Santos, social sciences department chair and class instructor.
"It turns out that socks are one of the many things the homeless population needs. After a discussion with a volunteer at the Way Station a few years ago, I learned that socks are an important but inexpensive need that the homeless have," Santos said. "The heat and humidity quickly turn socks into items that can contribute to foot problems if they are not changed frequently. As a result, I asked my students to donate socks to the homeless."
In recent years, studies conducted by Sara Konrath, a researcher at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research, have shown that university students do not have as much empathy as they once did. While UHD students received some extra credit for the exercise, the project led to discussions about the needs of the homeless and increased awareness about those less fortunate.
J.C. Penney's donation helps Career Services
Career Services has a new set of "visual aids" thanks to J. C. Penney Co., the national retail chain. J.C. Penney donated two sets of dress-for-success clothing to Career Services so staff members could show students and alumni the appropriate way to dress for interviews. The outfits are on display in the Career Services office so students can see them on their own time and the staff uses them in career and interview workshops.

More than 1,300 students received bachelor's and master's degrees during UHD's Fall 2010 Commencement on Sunday, Dec. 19, at Minute Maid Park. A record attendance of 21,000 family members, friends and alumni were on hand to watch the ceremonies.

METRO wants name suggestions for new light rail stations and transit centers
METRO is seeking names for the light rail stations on the new North, East and Southeast lines with the first round of suggestions due by June 30.
The public will then have an opportunity to review the successfully submitted entries before the METRO Board gives final approval later this summer. METRO hopes the station naming process will capture the spirit of the light rail communities with the opportunity to incorporate key cultural institutions, public spaces and historical landmarks into the project. The primary focus will be ensuring that customers of the service can easily identify where they are within the system.
The names submitted must conform to METRO board-approved criteria calling for simple names that are easily understood and remembered by the public, locally and by visitors who are using the system for the first time. Names must be single, short names with less than 26 characters. Stations may not be named for persons living or dead unless the name is already in use for a street intersection, a historically significant landmark or a widely recognized landmark, neighborhood or commercial trademark. More information and a submission form covering the dos and don'ts of station naming are available on the GoMETRORail website.
Residents and businesses on METRO's new East, North and Southeast light rail lines are asked to contact their Community Outreach Offices to learn more about submitting ideas for station names or visit gometrorail.org.
Facilities Management announces campus fire safety systems testing May 16-June 3
Facilities Management will perform semi-annual testing and maintenance of the campus fire detection / notification / suppression systems and related elevator fire service re-call, air handler shut-downs, fire-door hold-open devices and stair pressurization controls May 16 through June 3 in all campus buildings.
This testing must be performed during normal business hours due to the size of the systems, the contractors involved and the cost of the labor required to perform the work. Please consider this an opportunity for the university community to become familiar with these fire and life safety systems and the campus emergency public address system.
An announcement will be made over the PA system prior to the alarms being sounded to inform the occupants of the test. The alarms and strobe lights will then be engaged briefly and certified by the technicians. An announcement will be made after the conclusion of each segment of the audible and visual alarm testing.
For information, contact Chris McCall, Assistant Vice President - Facilities Management Department, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
