Tafseer Soorah al-Hujurat: A Commentary on the 49th Chapter of the Qur'an is a treasury of divine advice, commandments, and prohibitions regarding common problems in social relations, including gossip, spying, arguing, and bigotry. To make the best use of this chapter, the believer needs a detailed explanation of the meanings of the verses.
Dr. Bilal Philips has based his tafseer (exegesis) on the methodology used in the classical works of tafseer. He has relied first of all on the explanations found within the Qur'an itself, then on explanations found in the Sunnah and related incidents which occurred at the time of the revelation of the verses in question. Beyond these primary sources, Dr. Philips has relied on the interpretations made by the Prophet's Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) who were noted for their ability to interpret and comment on the Qur'an. 'Abdullâh ibn 'Abbâs, for example, was called 'The interpreter of the Qur'an' by Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). Finally, the author has made use of the grammatical explanations given in the classical tafseer works. Wherever possible, Dr. Philips has tried to apply the derived meanings of the verses to the problems of contemporary society.
Reviews of This Book:
Bilal Philips' Tafseer Soorah al-Hujurât is worth reading for any serious and sincere reader of the Qur'an. The meaning and history of the science of tafseer contained in the book's introduction add to its readability. As Bilal explains in the foreword, the core of the tafseer and the introduction to the science of tafseer were originally prepared for a course in tafseer which he taught during the Imam's Training Course held by Dâr al-Iftâ in Trinidad in September 1981. The present tafseer is an edited and revised version of the course material.
The two-page summary at the end helps easy and ready recapitulation of the soorah, and the index of hadiths is a welcome addition. (Habib Shaykh, Arab News, 11/4/1989)

|If you've cracked open this document, you probably know something already about the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources. Even if you know very little about our Agency, however, a quick read of this publication will provide you with a firm understanding of what we do at the Agency, what our major challenges are today, and what we intend to do to meet those challenges in the next five years. This 24-page plan opens with a summary of why and how it was developed and an introduction to the terms we use here. The four following sections focus on the Agencys four comprehensive goals. It closes with an overview of how we intend to implement the strategies stated in this plan.
The Agency encompasses four departments. The great majority of our work is accomplished through the departments, and each department has its own strategic plan which enunciates in more detail how we will carry out our work. As you read through this plan, you'll see four icons which will refer you to department plans that contain more information about specific topics. As you might expect in this Agency strategic plan, many of the strategies transcend a single department. In many instances, the responsibility for acting on a strategy is shared.
As Vermonters, we know we're fortunate to live in a special place, a state renowned for its beauty, community spirit, and hard-working citizenry. We at the Agency of Natural Resources are proud to be stewards of our state's environment; we believe we play an important role in making Vermont a wonderful place to work, play, and live. I encourage you to take a few moments to read the sidebars that provide just a few examples of the ways we help maintain Vermont's outstanding quality of life while striving to achieve our Agency's goals.

And below that:

Lady Camels take on Gardner-Webb in Big South tourney
No. 4-seeded Campbell will take on No. 5 Gardner-Webb at 2 p.m. today in the quarterfinal round of the VisitMyrtleBeach.com Big South Championship at The HTC Center.
The Lady Camels (18-11, 13-6) and Runnin' Bulldogs (16-13, 11-9) will battle for a spot in the semifinals (6 p.m. Saturday), taking on the winner of the first quarterfinal between No. 1 High Point and No. 8 UNC Asheville.
Campbell and Gardner-Webb split their regular season matchups, each winning its home game. Gardner-Webb took the first meeting 56-54 in Boiling Springs on Jan. 16. Jasmine Dale made a pair of free throws with four seconds left to help Gardner-Webb secure the comeback victory.
Sophomore guard RaeChaun Edwards paced the Lady Camels with 14 points followed by Roslyn Presley and junior guard Kiera Gaines with 13 and 12, respectively.
Presley scored a game-high 24 points and added seven rebounds on Senior Day to lead Campbell past Gardner-Webb, 65-62, Feb. 22 at Gore Arena.
Campbell ended its regular season with an 82-56 loss at Winthrop on Saturday, the largest deficit the team has suffered all year.
Presley has led Campbell in scoring for six of the last seven games, scoring in the double digits each game in the streak. She is seventh in the league in scoring at 14.8 points per game and is sixth in field-goal percentage at 47.9.
Gaines continues to move up the Big South rankings in rebounding, sitting at third with 9.3 boards per game. She is also fourth in assists with 4.03 each contest.

When you get next to a superhero like Snoop Dogg, you just naturally start taking on some of his mannerisms. The king of South Central has a distinct fashion style (Willie Nelson is the only other pop dude sporting pigtails, right?) and a lingo all his own. No wonder Nelly, Bow Wow, Q-Tip, Ciara, , LL, Tracy Morgan and others took a shot a doing their best Snoop impersonation at our Hip-Hop Honors show. Crackalacka, nephew – check out these clips.

Duration: 15:00:00.
Flora Hansen calls herself a medium and makes a living by pretending to commune with the dead. But after a gruesome murder at a rural home for wayward girls, Hansen begins to suffer visions that are all too real. She calls the police claiming to have seen a ghost, but only one detective puts aside his skepticism long enough to listen: Joona Linna. Linna has spent more time at the scene of the crime than any other detective would. The case seems obvious on the face of it: One of the girls at the home escaped in the middle of the night, leaving behind a bloody bed with a hammer under the pillow. But why does Hansen insist that the murder instrument was a stone, not a hammer? And what's the story behind the dark-red grain of sand, almost like a splinter from a ruby, stuck beneath the dead girl's fingernail? As Linna refuses to accept the easy answers, his search leads him into darker, more violent territory and, finally, to a shocking confrontation with a figure from his past.

I think I killed my iBook
View Single Post
Member Since: Dec 22, 2004
Location: Earth.
Posts: 208
Mac Specs: G5 1.8GHz, 3GB RAM; Macbook Air
About 30 minutes ago, I was working on my iBook and accidentally pressed down on it with my elbow (I was sort of inadvertantly leaning on it). So out of seemingly nowhere the computer freezes, and the cursor turns into a spinning beach ball. At the time, I was in Photoshop finishing a drawing I had spent all day working on. At first, it was only Photoshop that was frozen, so I clicked on the desktop and was in Finder which wasn't frozen, and pressed F11 (my shortcut) to take a snapshot of the screen (because I hadn't saved the drawing in like an hour). That was when the whole computer just froze up. So I had no Idea if the snapshot saved, but it didn't matter. After about ten minutes of saying to myself "no. no. no. no " I shut it down with the power button and booted to my iPod (which has Mac OS X installed on it). And sure enough when it was done booting up, the iBook's hard drive wasn't on the desktop. It also didn't show up in Disk Utility, Techtool Pro, or in the Startup disk list. When the computer first starts up, I can hear the hard drive making a weird clicking noise. I figure I am at a fork in the road. Turning left means I cam completely screwed. Turning right means I call Apple tech support and the guy tells me to restart and type in command-option-i-h-m-f-l-whatever, and it fixes it. Any suggestions?

The Silver Sea Development, located between Vancouver's Granville Street Bridge and George Wainborn Park, is a unique residential development designed to achieve a high level of architectural and urban design standard. The design of the building incorporated advanced green building strategies that resulted in a reduction in the level of energy and water consumption and mitigation of the project's overall environmental impact. Suites are oriented facing south, taking advantage of views across George Wainborn Park and False Creek. Accordingly, while the building is aligned to the city grid along its north and east faces, the south-facing sides feature a lighter, more transparent treatment.
The project involves a dormitory with 180 studios on the site of the Stade de Ladoumègue in Paris in 19th district. The plot of the building is part of urban development done by Reichen & Robert architects. By early 2012, the Paris tram will pass by the site, and the goal is to complete the project before the opening in 2011. Another project goal is to achieve a building consumption with very little power, joining the desire of the city of Paris through its "climate plan". The major objectives of the project is to design a home to accommodate students able to offer them a healthy environment for study, learn, have fun, meet ... The building must be "energy efficient" and be built at the end of 2010. To achieve these objectives with energy performance and construction time table plan the focus was to design a simple, well insulated and ventilated object which will function at best during all season.
Site-Sensitive Design Creates New Charles River Landmark in Cambridge
Architect Kyu Sung Woo has designed a new graduate housing complex for Harvard University in Cambridge, MA. The 115,000 SF project is a part of University's ongoing effort to house 50 percent of its graduate, professional and doctoral students, further supporting a strong residential campus community and helping to alleviate pressure on the local housing market.
The scheme houses 215 beds in over 30 different suite types, and includes a faculty director's suite, a fitness room, study lounge spaces, a multipurpose room, and a garage that extends under the building, its courtyard, and a new public open space along Memorial Drive.
The location of the Lace apartment block is in the centre of Nova Gorica (population 32.000) located in the west of Slovenia, adjacent the Slovene – Italian border. It lies 92 meters above sea level. The town has also very specific climate conditions – it is renowned as the hottest town in Slovenia in summer with very strong winds in winter.

Designed by the Los Angeles based firm of Oyler Wu and situated in the heart of Taipei, this project strives to rethink the typology of housing tower as a tall box with repetitive balconies, as is the case with most housing in the city of Taipei. This proposal utilizes geometry and materiality to accommodate the needs of the tenants but also to create a scheme that is not based on repetition.

Switch Building is a 7 storey apartment and art gallery building at 109 Norfolk Street in the Lower East Side, New York City.
The building consists of four floor-through apartments, a duplex penthouse, and a double height art gallery on the ground and cellar levels. nARCHITECTS provided full architectural services for the project, including all interior design.
The project's design emerges from a creative interpretation of some of
the narrow constraints imposed by zoning and the developer's needs.

Via DeZona Design . images: Allard van der Hoek De Rokade is a residential building created by Arons en Gelauff. It's adjacent to the nursing and care home, Maartenshof, which has been extensively renovated. The apartments for purchase are intended for the "younger seniors". In this way, Maartenshof can supply care to the buyers, without this care being visible to the outside world.
Kanner Architect's 26th Street Low Income Housing project thoroughly integrates a sustainable approach with high caliber Modernist design, effectively challenging the paradigm for affordable urban housing. Located in Santa Monica, California, the project—which won both an AIA National Honor Award and an AIA National Housing Award—is a celebration of the environment. Providing open spaces at every opportunity in this urban setting, the design takes advantage of fresh air, sunlight and open sky.
The featured housing block is situated at the edge of a housing development that projects the construction of 650 apartments. After construction, the design was acquired by the Slovenian Housing Fund and will be replicated in other developments. With a rich interplay of small volumes of different material interlocking throughout the elevations, many people associated them to Tetris game. And so the building got its name.

Golden Gopher Soccer Head Coach Stefanie Golan
The 2014 season will mark Coach Golan's third year at the helm of the Golden Gopher women's soccer team. She arrived in Minneapolis two weeks before preseason started in 2012 and led the Golden Gophers to a fourth place finish in the Big Ten and 11-7-2 overall record. The 2012 team was awarded the NSCAA Team Academic Award and twelve student-athletes were named Academic All-Big Ten. Sophomore Taylor Uhl was named to the First Team All-Great Lakes, First Team All-Big Ten and Third Team All America teams during Golan's first season. Freshman Haley Helverson was named to the Big Ten All-Freshman Team while senior Allie Phillips earned Academic All-America honors, the Big Ten Postgraduate Scholarship and was joined by sophomore Katie Thyken on the Academic All-District Team.
In 2013, the Golden Gophers earned an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament, only the program's third appearance since 1999. The Golden Gophers earned two signature wins in their 11-8-2 season with upsets over then-No. 13 Michigan and No. 7 Penn State. It was only the fourth time in the history of the program that Minnesota beat Penn State, its first victory over the Nittany Lions since 2007. The team once again earned the NSCAA Team Academic Award with ten student-athletes named Academic All Big Ten. In addition, Freshman Tarah Hobbs earned a pair of invites to the U20 Women's National Team Training Camps after a season where she was honored with NSCAA Second Team All-Great Lakes, 2013 Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year, All-Big Ten First Team and Big Ten All-Freshman Team honors. Junior captain Katie Thyken was honored as an NSCAA Scholar All-American and NSCAA Second Team All-Great Lakes. Freshman Josee Stiever was also named to the Big Ten All-Freshman Team.
Prior to Minnesota, Coach Golan spent five and a half years at the United States Military Academy. She led the program to a 33-18-10 record in her three years as a head coach and second-ever NCAA Tournament appearance in her final season in 2011. Two student-athletes were named to the NSCAA Mid-Atlantic All-Region Team while sophomore Molly McGuigan was named Patriot League Defender of the Year for the second season. Six student-athletes received All Patriot League honors and seven student-athletes received Patriot League Academic Honors.
In 2010, Golan received Patriot League Coach of the Year honors after going undefeated in the Patriot League and sharing the regular season title. The team led the nation in three defensive categories, two student-athletes were named to the NSCAA Mid-Atlantic All Region Team, eight student-athletes received Patriot League Academic honors, freshman Molly McGuigan was named Patriot League Defender of the Year and freshman Kim An was named Patriot League Rookie of the Year.
In 2009, six Army student-athletes earned Patriot League Academic honors while senior Liz Betterbed graduated ranked No. 1 in the class as a First Team Academic All-American and Rhodes Scholar. Golan joined the Army program as an Associate Head Coach for the 2007 and 2008 seasons where she worked with head coach Gene Ventriglia, who spent 24 years on the sidelines for the Black Knights, and together they guided the 2008 team to the program's first ever NCAA Tournament appearance. Golan also had stops as an assistant coach at PITT and the University of Evansville. Coach Golan started her coaching career as a graduate assistant at Mercer University.
Golan is an NSCAA member and the Chair of the NSCAA Great Lakes Region for the All-America Committee. She attended the NCAA Women's Coaches Academy in 2009.
Golan received her BA in Political Science from Duke University in 2001 where she was a scholarship soccer player (Stefanie Kraay). She received her Master's in Sports Leadership from Northeastern University in 2012.
She married Dave Golan, a former Division I men's soccer coach, in Jamaica on December 31, 2004. Dave and Stefanie have a son, Travis, who was born in May 2006. They have just finished building a house in Woodbury, MN.

Halakhic Texts 101
We Also Recommend
From its earliest days, Judaism viewed the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) as the rule book for Jewish ritual and civic behavior. But the Tanakh often communicates laws in very general terms, and so there emerged a system of legal interpretation and application, which came to be known as halakhah–from the Hebrew word for "walking" or "path."
In the late second century Rabbi Judah Ha-Nasi and his rabbinic colleagues began to record and organize this "Oral Torah." Over the next four- to five- hundred years the rabbis created the classical sources for halakhah: the Mishnah, Midrash Halakhah, Tosefta, and Talmud.
By the late sixth or early seventh century CE, the final redaction of the Babylonian Talmud was complete. After this–and until today–halakhic texts continued to be produced to explicate and apply the law.
The first period of halakhic productivity after the close of the Talmud was the geonic period. The geonim were leaders of Babylonian and North African Jewry. Jewish communities looked towards the geonim for authoritative teachings on halakhic matters, and the geonim responded by producing halakhic texts in many distinctive genres. The most famous halakhic texts of the geonim are their responsa (many of which were found in the Cairo genizah), Sefer ha-She'iltot by Aha of Shabha, Halakhot Pesukot by Yehudai Gaon, and Halakhot Gedolot by Simeon Kayyara.
By the beginning of the 11th century, the spiritual center of world Jewry had shifted away from Babylonia and towards communities spread throughout North Africa and Europe. These communities asserted their independence from the ancient geonic centers, ushering in a new period of halakhic creativity: the Middle Ages.
The Middle Ages were characterized by numerous attempts to codify Jewish law. Two are most noteworthy. In the 12th century, Maimonides composed the first true halakhic code, his monumental Mishneh Torah. This work was revolutionary in the way it presented the laws in a totally new format and without providing the biblical and rabbinic sources for its decisions. A few centuries later, after fleeing Spain in 1492, Joseph Caro composed the Shulhan Arukh. This work, together with Moshe Isserles' glosses, remains the most important code of Jewish law. For the purposes of categorizing halakhic texts, its publication also marks the end of the medieval period and the beginning of the modern era.

To the Editor:
Toward the beginning of his article, "Are We Ready for China?" [October 2007], Aaron L. Friedberg poses two stark questions: "What if the [People's Republic of China] continues to grow wealthier and stronger without making the transition to liberal democracy? Could a rich, authoritarian China use its newfound power and influence to reshape the world in its own image?"
Advocates for human rights share Mr. Friedberg's unease. China turns a blind eye to abuses in neighboring countries like North Korea and Burma over which it exerts a great deal of influence, and, in its own commercial pursuits in Africa, it is similarly heedless of human rights.
Here at home, we are used to passionate debates about the attention that human-rights issues should be given in our foreign policy. One thinks of the controversies over U.S. policies in South America and Central America in the 1970's and 1980's, or the debates over how to influence South Africa under apartheid. In those cases, there were many independent voices in Congress, among journalists, in our universities, and in myriad groups in society at large that pressed the executive branch to make human rights a priority. Where are the analogous voices to sound the alarm with respect to China? Even among Chinese dissidents who press for more freedoms within their own country, there seems to be little if any inclination to confront the regime over its foreign policy.

It's Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston as you've never seen them before. They look like the coolest, hippest rock and roll couple ever in Jim Jarmusch's new film, "Only Lovers Left Alive."
And here's a chuckle in this romantic tale. Their names are Adam and Eve.
Yes, that's a biblical reference and it's amazing what long hair will do to visually represent the timelessness of love. In this case, Swinton sports waist length, platinum-y locks while Hiddleston has the shaggy long dark-haired British rock star thing going on. And they're often seen rocking some ultra cool shades, indoors of course, as in "I wear my sunglasses at night."
There's a really good reason for that, as viewers soon discover as the goth-style, musically influenced cinematography unfolds. These two are vampires that have been a passionate couple for countless centuries but somehow have become separated, apparently due to their individual artistic pursuits. For him, it's music. For her, apparently living life to the fullest.
Without revealing many spoilers, they are reunited in Detroit, where Hiddleston's character lives in a creaky old house in what looks like a largely abandoned neighborhood, where male groupies–seen through a security camera– often congregate to get a look at the reclusive rock star.
You never know what's coming next as several supporting characters are introduced into this creepy yet strangely enticing, erotic locale, including a connected music scene dude, Ian, played by Anton Yelchin, who procures rare guitars and seems to be the main connection to the outside world.
Adam himself seems to only venture out of his vamp-mansion to get his drug of choice from a helpful doctor (Jeffrey Wright) at a local hospital.
But when Eve comes to town, traveling from her home in Tangier, where she makes similar nocturnal forays, Adam gets pulled out of his comfort zone.
Things get especially off track when Eve's younger sister, Ava, (Mia Wasikowska) makes an unwanted appearance and after creating a series of nuisances, commits a crime that needs to be covered up by her elders.
Jarmusch has said he finds romantic appeal in desolate and postindustrial landscapes, and Detroit is filled with them. Tangier, Morocco also swirls with moody mystery in a much livelier environment where another supporting character, John Hurt as a witty, erudite Christopher Marlowe holds court.
The music, the moods, the unexpected humor, the romance, the costumes all blended together to make this one of the most thrilling and evocative films seen in recent years.

And how.
Think seedy brown leather furniture, satellite TV, mirrors everyfrickinwhere including the ceiling.
Explains the superperky Regina Paterniti, who spends eight straight months a year riding this beast: "They make it look larger and give it a bigger appearance."
But of course.
Regina and her colleagues Gary Scheer and Greg Beaudoin tear up some serious pavement as they travel the nation inviting the cigar-curious into the pleasure palace for a primer on Macanudos and a puff that can last from an hour to four. Yeah, some dudes come aboard and want to stay all night, Regina admits.
But the Macanudo gang practically cross their hearts and swear nothing dirty's ever happened.
"Come on," says Unreal's buddy, Dick. "I had a friend who drove the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile for a year after college, and he was picking up girls all the time. You'd think with cigars...."
"Hey, when you've got an eight-foot wiener...." replies Greg.
"He used to say, 'This wiener's a-rockin', don't come a-knockin,'" Dick ripostes.
Gary parries: "Our line is: Whether resting or rolling, this bus is always smoking."
Gary, Greg and Regina are great hosts, but they won't give Unreal a minute alone to peek beneath the seat cushions or try out the size factor in the mirrors. It isn't long before a local newspaper magnate takes a seat across from us in the VIP lounge. He nods with silent approval at the smoking environs.
"You wanna get going?" Dick asks.
"Yeah, let's go look for the Girls Gone Wild."
"They're here too?" the businessman blurts.
If only.
Not Your Father's Republican
The tony enclaves of Frontenac, Creve Coeur, Ladue and Town & Country have long been synonymous with the green party. As in, they've got a lot of it in their wallets. Two years ago retired mailman Charles L. Cuba of Rock Hill captured 2 percent of the vote when he ran for state representative of the 87th District on the Green Party ticket. He's trying again in the August 8 primary, where he faces incumbent T. Scott Muschany as a Republican. Among the 60-year-old pol's top priorities: the environment, restoring Medicaid benefits and raising the minimum wage. But a total knee replacement has sidelined him from extensive campaigning. "How can I run when I can't even walk?" Cuba lamented when Unreal came calling about his GOP reincarnation.
Unreal: How big an impact has your knee had on your campaigning?
Charles Cuba: Total, because I'm going with almost no money. I'm financing it on my own and I don't want to try to raise money. I don't like money in politics. My whole campaign last time was going door to door. I borrowed a friend of mine's electric car. I was thrown out of Ladue.
Did you ever think you'd end up running as a Republican?
I knew that if I wanted this job, I'd have to run as a Republican. Last time, when it came right down to it, people thought that a Green Party candidate wasn't a viable option. I realized that in my lifetime the Democrats are very inefficient when they're in power. And the Republicans although I don't agree with their agenda, they do get things done.
Does it feel different?
Oh, yeah. I'm looking forward to it, though. If I can win the primary, there's a big caucus down in Branson that I've been invited to and it'd be interesting to see if I can change any minds down there and get the Republican Party moving in a better direction. It hasn't always been this bad.
Maybe that should be their slogan: "It hasn't always been this bad." Has the party been welcoming to you?
I've gotten some invitations to this club called the Pachyderm Club. But the trouble is, every invitation has come with a need for funds. They are very money-orientated, and I can't afford to go to them.
Have they given you fruit baskets, Champagne, an assortment of guns, anything?
They haven't offered me any money or anything like that, which I'd refuse anyway. But I'd eat the fruit, for sure.
Hey Bert!
Last month Zest Body Wash came out with its ranking of the nation's "50 Most Adventurous Cities." Near the rear (at No. 45) was St. Louis prompting Unreal to phone up our good buddy Bert Sperling, whose company, Sperling's Best Places, conducted the survey. This past spring Sperling named St. Louis as one of best cities for migraine headaches.
Unreal: Do you think one of the reasons we didn't rank higher is because we're all at home nursing our aching heads?
Bert Sperling: No, I don't think there's any connection there. But just because St. Louis didn't rank in the Top 10 doesn't mean you all aren't as adventurous as other people. It just means you're a little more challenged because of resources such as no ocean or mountains.

Linfield is a comprehensive college with a strong commitment to study in the liberal arts and sciences. The curriculum seeks to overcome intellectual provincialism, underscore the centrality of how one learns, provide a historical context, relate ideas to social structures, and affirms the importance of values in human life. The liberal arts curriculum is coherent and useful in preparing students to seek knowledge and improve skills throughout their lives. Linfield's curriculum is designed to help people develop their full humanity, with an emphasis on freedom of mind and spirit. It also illuminates their shared cultural heritage, and involves students and teachers alike in the fundamental concerns upon which the future depends.
The academic program is available on a year-round calendar with 15-week fall and spring semesters, a four-week January term, and a 10-week summer term. A typical semester course load for a student is 12-16 credits.
The student's program of studies will include courses in four categories: general education, major study in an area of interest, electives providing variety and stimulation, and paracurricular courses with a practical activity-centered orientation.
The college offers three undergraduate degrees. Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees are available on the McMinnville Campus and through the Online and Continuing Education Program. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) degree is available on the Portland Campus and to students in the online R.N. to B.S.N. program.
Candidates for the B.A. degree must satisfy a foreign language requirement by successfully completing two semesters of study in one language at the elementary level (101, 102) for a total of eight credits, or one semester of an intensive elementary-level course for five credits (105), or one semester at or above 201, or RELS 200 and 201 (Greek), or RELS 202 and 203 (Hebrew) in the Religious Studies Department. Students entering from high school with language experience or transfer students who have not fulfilled the language requirement take a placement test to determine their appropriate class levels. No college credit for high school course work in language will be allowed without departmental evaluation of a student's proficiency. Waiver of the language requirement is by examination. The language requirement should be completed in the student's first year. Prospective language students with a weak foundation in English grammar skills are strongly urged to take ENGL 125. International Students on an F-1 visa from countries whose official language is not English are exempt from the foreign language requirement.
Candidates for the B.S. degree must successfully complete two courses of at least three credits each in a single field, chosen from the following: anthropology (ANTH), biology, chemistry, computer science, economics, environmental studies, mathematics, physics, political science, psychology, or sociology (SOCL). These courses must be outside the department which offers the major, where for the purpose of this requirement only, anthropology and sociology are viewed as separate departments. In addition, these courses may not be simultaneously used to satisfy Linfield Curriculum requirements. If a student completes two majors, the B.S. degree requirement may be fulfilled by two courses from either major, as long as neither course is used to satisfy requirements for both majors. In the case of interdisciplinary majors, the two courses cannot be applied to both major and B.S. requirements.
When necessary, students with documented learning disabilities in majors which offer the B.A. but not a B.S. degree may petition the Curriculum Committee for substitution of courses for the language requirement. This process is not automatic, nor is it always deemed appropriate. Students who intend to make such a request must notify both the Office of Learning Support Services and the Registrar no later than the completion of 45 credits. Complete documentation including the diagnosis of the student's condition and its attendant educational implications must be filed with the Office of Learning Support Services prior to the request.
To obtain a bachelor's degree, students must meet the following requirements:

It's July, Mets fans, so you know what that means. The annual narrative shift has begun. Sure, this season might be awful, but the future is so bright you will be blinded. Just you wait! Well, either due to some incredible once in a lifetime experience, or some hallucinogenic drugs, I was able to enter the future. October 1, 2019, in fact. It was pretty interesting overall, but this being a Mets blog I will keep focused on what I discovered on the other side about the Mets. Guess what? There are still some blogs, and being the Mets fan that I am, I made sure to check one out to see what our Mets were up to. Now it seems fair to share this with all of you. So, here we go, a Mets blog post from October 1, 2019. You might want to buckle up.
The New York Mets lost to the Chicago Cubs today 7-1, concluding a 69-93 season, the team's tenth straight losing campaign. The game was played in a crisp five and a half hours. Kris Bryant homered twice for the defending champions, who will be returning to the playoffs again in 2019. For the Mets, of course, today's loss completes a decade's worth of frustration, the years 2010-2019 are the first decade since the team's inception in 1962 where the Mets did not have one playoff season, or one season with a winning record. There were, though, a few bright spots this year:
- Rookie first baseman Dom Smith, brought up to the big club after the Super 2 deadline passed in June, hit over .300 and played a solid first base. Team officials are concerned; however, that Smith does not take enough pitches and will consider bringing in an inexpensive veteran first baseman for 2020.
- Second baseman L. J. Mazzilli, the team's lone all-star representative, hit well all year, more than making up for his shaky defense at second.
- Both catchers, Travis d'Arnaud and Kevin Plawecki, played fairly well, as they once again shared the position. Some have been frustrated that the organization has not settled on a true number one catcher since Plawecki debuted in mid-June 2016.
- Today's pre-game ceremony for former manager Terry Collins, who retired after the 2018 year. The announced attendance of 8,754 was the largest crowd of the 2019 season, a number also boosted by a Mazzilli bobblehead promotion. The number 703 was retired in honor of Collin's team record 703 losses as Mets manager.
- The team once again led the NL in walks, as noted by both Manager Bob Geren and hitting coach Bobby Abreu after the game.
Of course it has not all been rosy for the 2019 Mets. As we head to the offseason, the following questions exist:
- Will prospect Michael Conforto, a 2014 draftee, be called up to the Mets at some point in 2020? Conforto tore up Triple A pitching for the second year in a row in 2019.
- Who's on third? Once again third base was a revolving door disaster, as it has been every year since the Mets traded David Wright to St. Louis for a package of failed prospects in 2015.
- When will the Vaughn Bryan experiment end? Outfielder Bryan, the face of the Wright deal, was miserable again in 2019, with an OPS under .600. He did lead the team in pitches seen per plate appearance for the third consecutive year.
- How will Juan Lagares be replaced? The 2019 replacement, the 39-year-old Coco Crisp, failed miserably in his first year at Citi Field. Coco batted under .200, and worse, was unable to cover an adequate amount of ground in center. Lagares, traded after the 2017 season for two prospects still in short-season ball, was once again a starter on the AL All-Star team.
- Is age catching up to Ruben Tejada? Ruben, who turns 30 this month, posted his worst offensive season, hitting .201, 20 points under his career average. If Ruben cannot bounce back in 2020, the Mets have no real internal options as there are no shortstop prospects above High A at this time. One thing the team will have to consider is a backup for Tejada as he ages; the team had Ruben play all 162 games for the fifth consecutive time. One rumored consideration would be to use current bench coach Omar Quintanilla. Quintanilla, still only 37 and in good shape, would be a good fit as he understands the team's hitting philosophy.
- Will the current group of touted young pitching prospects spell relief for a battered rotation? As we all know, with the exception of Matt Harvey, the last crop of young pitchers never really panned out. When Harvey was allowed to leave as a free agent to the Yankees without an offer prior to the 2019 offseason, the bottom completely fell out. Pitching coach Dan Warthen hopes that veteran Chris Young, now 40, can be brought back. Young was the surprising ace of the team during their April and May success, but was then traded to the A's for a PTBNL. The staff and team never fully recovered.
After the game, team consultant Sandy Alderson met with the media. The GM, J. P. Ricciardi, remained in his Boston home. Ricciardi has not been seen in public since the day after the Wright deal. Some highlights of Alderson's comments:
- Although the 2019 Mets once again finished with a losing record, Sandy said he "Really liked this team. Some teams you like, some you only kind of like. This team, though, I really like it. It's a nice group of young men."
- An extension of Geren's contract through the 2025 season is in the works. If Quintanilla is moved back to shortstop, there has been no decision on whether Terry Collins will return as bench coach. Alderson indicated that some in the organization are concerned this would put too much pressure on Geren.
- "The Plan" is on track. "I think the real fans, the true fans, the fans that don't care whether we win or lose, who just like Shake Shack, understand what we are doing here."
- The team payroll, now the lowest in major league baseball, will not necessarily be going up. "J. P. can spend as much as he wants, as long as he is prudent and the team does not go over budget," said Alderson. He later indicated he has no idea what the budget will be in 2020.
The offseason will begin in earnest, and will really heat up during the winter meetings. Many fans hold out hope that majority owner Jeff Wilpon will sell the team before that time.
Well there you have it. Not that great, but don't get too depressed. Yes, the Mets are still going to be bad at the end of this decade, but everything else is going to be awesome. You will see.
That's the thing about the future; it's very easy to say it is going to be better than the present.

Understanding Past Earth EnvironmentsNAI 2013 VPL at University of Washington Annual Report
For much of the history Earth, life on the planet existed in an environment very different than that of modern-day Earth. Thus, the ancient Earth represents a planet with a biosphere that is both dramatically different than the one in which we live, but that is also accessible to detailed study. As such, it serves as a model for what types of biospheres we may find on other planets. A particular focus of our work was on the "Early Earth" (formation through to about 500 million years ago), a timeframe poorly represented in the geological and fossil records but comprises the majority of Earth's history. We have studied the composition, pressure and climate of the ancient atmosphere; the delivery of biologically available phosphorus; studied the sulfur, oxygen and nitrogen cycles; and explored atmospheric formation of molecules that were likely important to the origins of life on Earth.ROADMAP OBJECTIVES: 1.1 1.2 4.1 4.2 5.1 5.2 6.1

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 5, 2005 Base realignment and closure commissioners heard about the strategic underpinnings of the Defense Department's approach during May 4 testimony.
Ryan Henry, principal deputy undersecretary of defense for policy, spoke to the panel about the National Defense Strategy, the upcoming Quadrennial Defense Review and the Global Defense Posture.
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld is using these strategies as the bases for closing and realigning defense installations. He must present his recommendations to the commissioners not later than May 16.
Henry told the commission - chaired by former Secretary of Veterans Affairs Anthony Principi - that the most current DoD strategy contains the lessons learned from the global war on terrorism. The BRAC process requires that military value will be the most important criterion in closing or realigning bases. Henry said he hoped his testimony would help the commissioners understand "the way that we understand what best military value is, the way we want to use military activities and the way we want to employ the force to be able to provide for national security."
He said the old days of knowing the enemy were over. He told the commissioners there is a limit to intelligence. "We cannot tell what the future will bring," Henry said. "In the next decade, we will need to use our forces somewhere, but we cannot say with any certainty where, when or how they might be needed."
Developing capabilities, therefore, is more important than numbers of troops, tanks, ships or planes, he said.
Henry said the U.S. military must be able to move more quickly and operate with greater flexibility when it arrives in a region. He also said that a basis to the new strategy is the United States realizes it must do these operations in partnership with other nations. A big part of the effort, then, is to build the capacity and capabilities of others.
He said the National Defense Strategy remains to secure the U.S. from direct attack. He also said that it includes gaining strategic access to key areas and to have freedom of action within those areas.
Portions of the old strategy - last published in 2001 - are unchanged. This includes assuring friends the United States is a credible ally; dissuading those who harbor ambitions to confront the United States; and deterring potential adversaries.
Finally, if needed, the United States must be ready to "defeat any adversary at a time, place and manner of our choosing," Henry noted.
He said the challenge of the Quadrennial Defense Review - which will be published in February 2006 - is to balance between the new capabilities the U.S. military would like to have against the old capabilities that America would like to maintain.
He told the BRAC commissioners that their work will allow the U.S. to set its military house in order. Their mission will allow the military to better use American taxpayers money and let the military serve in a more joint environment, he said.
The Global Posture Review also plays a role in the commission's processes. The U.S. military will bring back two divisions from Europe and most of a division from South Korea. All told, this means 70,000 soldiers and more than 100,000 family members and contractors will be returning to the United States. Where these personnel will go depends in large part on the commissioners' decisions, Henry said. "How we realign overseas will affect how we are based back home," said he explained.

SCHENECTADY - Thursday marks the third day of jury deliberations in a murder trial of James Wells.
Wells is accused of shooting 15-year-old Eddie Stanley in 2011.
Prosecutors say the high school basketball player was killed during an argument over missing car keys at a house party on Bridge Street.
Jurors deliberated for ten hours Wednesday, without reaching a verdict.

Most ancient dyes needed a mordant to fix them to the fibres being dyed. alum and various iron salts, earths and organic matter were used. Many dyes were prepared involving a method of fermentation, in some cases plant materials were left for many years. It is recorded that in the making of the famous Bulgarian Gobelin tapestries walnut husk were covered with water and left to ferment for two years before being used to dye the wool. In some cases various different plants were used to produce the necessary acids for dissolving some dyes. Dilute acids have the same effect as fermentation, and an earlier process involved the use of urine to dissolve various dyes. Conservationists repairing and cleaning old woollen tapestries can become well aware that urine was used as a mordant.
The chemical substances responsible for the blue colours in indigo and woad are exactly the same, but arise from slightly different precursors. In indigo, the naturally occurring precursor is a colourless water-soluble compound of indoxyl. Indoxyl is oxidized with oxygen from the air to produce indigotin, which is blue and insoluble. The blue of woad is also a result of indigotin, but there a precursor isatan-B hydrolyses to form the indoxyl leuco-indigo, two molecules of that combine to form indigotin. Both plants also contain indirubin and flavonols derived from kaempferol as well. Both woad and indigo are substantive dyes and do not need mordants to effect chemical binding. In 1883 the German chemist Adolf Bayer discovered the chemical structure of indigo which then made it possible to produce the dye synthetically in the 1890s. His method is still used - this synthesises the indoxyl by fusion with sodium phenylglycinate in a mixture of caustic soda and sodamide. Indigo can be converted into other similar compounds but the only commercially important chemical reaction is the reduction of the soluble yellow indoxyl leuco-indigo which is the form in which it is applied to textile fibres from where it then reoxidizes to indigo and turns blue.
Woad does not produce as much indigotin as indigo, though the chemical composition is the same. In ancient times the leaves of woad were pulped between immense wooden rollers turned by horses each led by a man. The woad was heaped, drained, kneaded and rolled into balls, two handfuls of the pulp making a ball. These balls were then dried, powdered, wetted again and fermented and left for 9 weeks during which time they were turned and sprinkled with water. The result was a dark clayey substance which as the dye. It was used as the basis for many 'sad colours' as the dark blue could be reduced to different shades and used as a fixer of other colours.
The chemical compounds responsible for the reds of madder and munjeet are the three-ring compounds the anthraquinones, the most active of which is alizarin. The pigments in madder are alizarin, rubiadin, purpurin, pseudopurpurin and mungistin, while munjeet contains many of these but also a unique pigment known as munjistin. Madder and munjeet both require a mordant to produce the deep red, common mordants used are alum (potassium or ammonium sulphate), chrome (chromium dichromate) and copper (copper sulphate). Depending upon the mordant used, the colour produced from madder can vary from apricot orange to deep red.
Lawsone (a napthaquinone substantive dye) in the leaves of henna reacts with the keratin in skin and human hair allowing it to hold an orange-red pigment. Other chemicals active in henna include the napthaquinone juglone (also found in walnuts) several flavonoids and tannins. The leaves and young twigs are pulverized into a fine powder, sometimes with various other plan additives. This is then made into a paste with hot water and then spread or painted into designs on the area of skin to be dyed, usually be left overnight. The action of the active components when mixed with hot water and applied to hair seals the oils and tightens the hair cuticle giving a rich, healthy shine. Modern henna hair colorants are applied for 1-2 hours, and wash out within 2-3 months. Distilled water from the sweet-smelling flowers can be made into a perfume, or used as a cosmetic. Henna used as a substantive dye gives a light tan, while the use of mordants such as alum, chrome or copper gives different shades of brown. Tin (stannous chloride) and iron (ferrous sulphate) used as mordants with henna give more orangish shades.
Medically henna has been used internally and externally for the treatment of jaundice, leprosy, smallpox and the fruit is thought to have properties that regulate menstruation.
The yellows of both weld and saffron are due to long-chain chemicals called carotenoids; Vitamin A is also a carotenoid. The main carotenoids in weld are luteolin and apigenin, luteolin is not found in other species of the genus Reseda. The principal pigment in saffron is crocin. Both these yellow dyes are adjective and are used principally with mordants, raw wool takes up very little colour. Weld used with alum or tin produces the brightest yellows, other mordants tend to produce greens or olive-greens. Use of tin (stannous chloride) as a mordant with saffron also produces a brilliant yellow, but in contrast to weld, the dye is readily taken up by unmordanted wool. Turmeric contains the carotenoid curcumin, also known in the food industry as the permitted food colouring E100.
The principal component in Juglans species is the napthaquinone juglone, whose action and ultimate colour is modified by the presence of acidic tannins also found in the leaves and husks. Mordants used with walnuts include copper, iron and alum often in combination.
Since dyes were synthesized more than a century ago, vegetable dyes are rarely used commercially. But plant dyes produce more mellow tones as can be seen in 'village' or 'country' Oriental carpets, pre-industrial tapestries or ancient leather used in, say, the bindings of books. It is difficult to replicate these effects with synthetic dyes and the use of natural dyes is enjoying a renaissance. That said, however, it must be pointed out that the chemicals in these plant products are every bit as chemical as those of synthetic dyes and can have serious environmental effects if used without due care.

Work program creates dialogueJulia Hearthway, Pennsylvania's secretary of Labor and Industry, discussed a new program called Job Gateway with Susquehanna staff on Thursday.
Hearthway said that this program will be a benefit to Pennsylvania residents because it is an online website that matches employers with those seeking jobs.
Hearthway explained how working with colleges and universities is beneficial to the new Job Gateway Program.
Hearthway said: "There's a wealth of talent in our colleges and universities. Pennsylvania has a lot of institutions. It is one of the states with the largest number of colleges and universities, and we have a lot of good businesses here."
Hearthway talked of the disconnect that sometimes occurs between talented college students and good businesses, and how this program will hopefully get rid of that disconnect. Hearthway said, "One avenue is to try and help connect them through the internet."
She continued: "Students at the universities get to utilize the tools, have information they may not have otherwise gotten to make decisions, look for employers. Vice versa, employers have this talent pool that I think is not tapped as much as it should be to look for talent."
Hearthway also discussed how college students can use the tools on Job Gateway to help prepare them for landing their first job.
Hearthway said: "We put features on there that would help you land that first job. We provided information that wasn't readily available before that's on labor statistics, so you can look and see what the labor supply and demand is in a particular area."
She continued: "There's a fun program on there called Big Interview, where you can go online, get tips on how to interview. You can also practice interviewing."
Hearthway also discussed how this Job Gateway program is a work in progress. She spoke of the importance of testing it with college students to get their feedback.
Hearthway said: "What I'd really like to have from students is feedback as to whether it is [helping], or if it's not we're going to change it. There's no point in having it if it's not helpful."
Hearthway also discussed how the program will help Pennsylvania's unemployed by matching them with employers.
Hearthway said: "There's a lot of reasons we have unemployed. Some of them are within state's control and some are not." She continued: "But one factor is not always knowing where to look. Not knowing that there are job openings, and for employers not knowing where to find good talent."
Hearthway also discussed how this program is designed to be user friendly for every age group.
Hearthway said: "The more comfortable an individual is using the Internet and technology the more they will get out of it. But we have worked very hard at making this user friendly, so even my age and older can utilize it."
Hearthway also discussed the impact that she hopes this program has on the state.
Hearthway said: "We hope it has a large impact. It is not one thing that makes an impact. It's a series of things. This is one piece of it. We think it will help some individuals. We hope a significant number of individuals."
Hearthway discussed how this Gateway Program is not for one particular job sector, but will help unemployed Pennsylvanians know what areas have jobs.
Hearthway said: "This system is for any industry. For you to know which of those areas that are booming and which ones are not."
Hearthway also discussed how this program could benefit older Pennsylvanians who were laid off.
Hearthway said: "A lot of individuals who lost their jobs in this past recession have had those jobs for 15, 20 years. They haven't interviewed for a decade or more, so Big Interview would help them get back into the swing of things."
She continued: "It would also help them explore a different career path."

Every Thursday is Happiness Day on Zen Habits.
To be happy, it is important that we become happy with who we are — accept ourselves, recognize our good traits, accept our flaws, and come to see those flaws as actually good and unique parts of us.
But if you're like me, there's always something we want to change — and in keeping with the philosophy of this site, for me that's changing my daily habits to help me reach my goals. The problem is, many people just don't believe they are the type of person who can achieve that goal — they have a negative self-image, and that negativity will stop them from success every time. Positive thinking is the key to any kind of achievement.
So today's quick happiness tip is simple: think about the goal you want to achieve, imagine the kind of person who has already achieved that goal or created that habit, and pretend you are that person.
Let's take a quick example: If I want to start running, to make running a daily habit, I think about runners I know or have read about. I read about their habits, their lifestyle, and imagine what it's like to be them. Then, I pretend I'm a runner myself. I think about what it's like to be a runner, how a runner would act, how a runner thinks and feels, what a runner's habits are.
I take the identity of a runner, and make it my own. Soon, I believe I'm a runner. And here's the magic: it becomes true! Just by pretending it, and assuming that identity, I become a runner. I think and act like one. And if I'm a runner, what do I do every day? I run.
This magical trick can work for any goal, and for any person. Imagine that you are that person, and you will be.

#The Flinger Family#got pee sticks?
Another test today. You know.. just to be sure. (Although, I'm still not scheduled to start for another week.)
It said Not Pregnant.
That's a good thing, right?
So why am I crying?
Oh, Leslie. I'm sorry. It is a good thing. You weren't trying to get pregnant…so it's ok, right? There's always next month! And now you can have yourself a big ol' drink tonight. I'll come join you!
By Paige (CoraBelle) on 2005 07 23
You may still be preg… didn't you say LB's test didn't show up positive until three weeks LATE? Wait 10 days and test again…
And HEY, if you're not… hold out until fall and we can be prego (and blog about it) together!
By Erin on 2005 07 23
BTW…my test came back negative today too…so I had a margarita!
By Paige (CoraBelle) on 2005 07 23
Like Erin said, LB's test didn't show up until late, so what's to make this one different? Wait until you are late, then give it another week or two and THEN test. I'm thinking you're setting yourself up for an emotional rollar coaster if you test before you even miss your period, but that's just my two cents.
By Holly on 2005 07 24
You know, as far as the whole emotional/hormonal thing goes… I remember reading that it's the same hormones that allow our female bodies to produce life that make us "crazy…" made me feel a little better when I was pregnant & then going through the post partum stage. It's all such a freaking miracle. It'll be okay Leslie!! Enjoy your LB!
By Marie on 2005 07 25
Isn't that the truth, Marie? Crazy comes to mind.. truly.
By Mrs. Flinger on 2005 07 25
Amen, Michaela. Although I cried over AT&T commercials long before procreating. So now I'm doubly screwed up.
BTW…how'd the margarita taste? Mmmmm…
