By Army Spc. Rick RzepkaSpecial to American Forces Press Service
TIKRIT, Iraq, May 29, 2008 Many of the physical tolls professional athletes face are mirrored in professional soldiers. Pulled muscles, back pain, and sprains are just a few injuries soldiers face while conducting day-to-day operations in Iraq.
Enter the Army physical therapist -- a mobile, hands-on medical professional who works with soldiers to alleviate their neuromusculoskeletal problems in the thick of the fight here.
"We see our guys on the line as professional athletes," said Army Capt. Christine Iverson, a physical therapist with 1st Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division.
Iverson, who has been an Army physical therapist since April 2006, earned a doctorate of physical therapy from Baylor University and has been helping Screaming Eagle soldiers reach their peak performance ever since.
She and her mobile physical therapy team have helped more than 2,500 soldiers get back on their feet since being deployed here in September.
The Bastogne physical therapy team handles an array of soldier's injuries, from acute battle wounds to chronic orthopedic pain, Iverson said.
"You name it, we're here to fix 'em," Iverson said.
"Physical therapy is not to be confused with massage therapy," said Iverson, who describes her operation as a one-stop shop for relieving soldiers' aches and pains.
The physical therapy team here specializes in joint mobilizations, manipulations and exercise therapies. They use sophisticated machines, modalities and braces to help debilitated warriors get back on their feet across the Salahuddin province.
Iverson said her team spends an average of 20 days a month traveling to forward operating bases here providing treatment and giving advice to soldiers on how to avoid injuries.
"As we are trying to do more with less, it becomes important for our line soldiers to get the best treatment we can give them," she said. "We want them to leave here as better soldiers."
A large portion of the cases Iverson's team deals with concern back pain. As soldiers are being asked to carry a heavy burden here, they carry equally heavy loads on their backs.
Core strengthening is key to avoiding back issues, Iverson said. This entails building the muscle that acts as a weight belt underneath the superficial layers of muscle around your core, she said.
For many soldiers, the physical therapists here have been instrumental in helping them recover.
"It's awesome because you don't have to go through a whole deployment in pain," said Army Spc. Thomas Heppler, who suffers from chronic back pain.
Heppler said he appreciates having a physical therapist at the brigade level instead of having to seek help elsewhere. "It makes it easier on me to have them here," he said. "They make themselves real accessible."
For Iverson, there is no better place for a physical therapist to be, than at the heart of the fight. "We belong down at the line units," she said. "We owe them that."
(Army Spc. Rick Rzepka serves with 1st Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, in Multinational Division North.)

NRCC Chairman Tom Cole's Statement on Special Election Results in MississippiShorter Tom Cole: We're DOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED...
Washington -- NRCC Chairman Tom Cole released the following statement following the results of the special election runoff in Mississippi's 1st Congressional District:
"We are disappointed in tonight's election results. Though the NRCC, RNC and Mississippi Republicans made a major effort to retain this seat, we came up short.
"Tonight's election highlights two significant challenges Republicans must overcome this November. First, Republicans must be prepared to campaign against Democrat challengers who are running as conservatives, even as they try to join a liberal Democrat majority. Though the Democrats' task will be more difficult in a November election, the fact is they have pulled off two special election victories with this strategy, and it should be a concern to all Republicans.
"Second, the political environment is such that voters remain pessimistic about the direction of the country and the Republican Party in general. Therefore, Republicans must undertake bold efforts to define a forward looking agenda that offers the kind of positive change voters are looking for. This is something we can do in cooperation with our Presidential nominee, but time is short.
"I encourage all Republican candidates, whether incumbents or challengers, to take stock of their campaigns and position themselves for challenging campaigns this fall by building the financial resources and grassroots networks that offer them the opportunity and ability to communicate, energize and turn out voters this election."
Why? Because they thought Rove's plan would work because Bush got elected. They stupidly ignored Bush lost the popular vote and was installed by the Supreme Court and then, in the second election, he won for extingent reasons that had nothing to do with Rove's political strategy. Rather, they played the "vote for us or the terrorists would get you" card for the entire election cycle, including the obvious manipulation of the 'terrorist threat' system with all those warnings running up to the election. Warnings that stopped within days of Bush's re-election.
The truth is that Rove's plan was horseshit in its vision and implementation:
Component 1: Education Standards - The No Child Left Behind act has been a disaster. So much so that even heavily Republican states like Utah give it the thumbs down. You also have a huge majority of individuals, such as our family, that believe public education needs reforms, but not the anti-reforms Bush instituted. We took our child out of school, in part, because she (despite being in a magnet program and in all advanced placement classes) was spending most of her time studying for the annual standardized test so the school can avoid any NCLB act death penalties. Other parents have expressed the same dismay to the quality of their child's education because of the constant "test-driven" focus of the schools.
In this issue, Rove missed a very key component of the educational reform issue: People love their children's public school and they think the problem is "somewhere else." This has been shown in survey after survey - the majority of people are happy with their schools and believe the problem with public education is always "somewhere else."
Component 2: "Faith-based initiatives" - In other words, shit on the Constitution and buy the votes of the Conservative Evangelicals so you can keep yourself in power. This is one of the most idiotic strategies any country can take. The greater the fundamentalist presence in any government, the worse the nation performs. Fundamentalists are toxic to human rights, equality, education and progress. This has not only been demonstrated through-out history, but is readily apparent now. People like to think these conservative evangelicals are "just like us." No, they're not. They're very dangerous individuals subject to mob mentalities and will the first to don the Brown Shirt when that day comes.
Also of note, religious fervor in America is cyclical. We go through conservative movements on an approximate 20-to-30-year cycle. The greater societal response is to become more (net) liberal in the current cycle than the previous cycle. Each peak is less conservative and each ebb more liberal. Ultimately, the beneficiaries are the very people the conservative movement was deliberately harming. It's more than than a bit ironic to see the objects of derision win through the backlash against the inhuman positions of the conservative evangelical movement.
Component 3: Partially privatize Social Security - Oh yeah, that's a winner of an idea... Oh wait, maybe not. Since every Republican and Democrat since the days of Eisenhower have recognized that it would be political suicide to attack Social Security. Nor is like Social Security is actually in danger. That political football has been going on since the 1970's. Every time the actuarial tables need to be adjusted, and Social Security payments and revenues need to be adjusted, the problem gets fixed. Every time. Without privatization.
Component 4: Offer private health-savings accounts as an alternative to Medicare - Yes, first they broke Medicare. Then they failed to get the second part of plan into effect. It will be the Democrats, or nobody, who will fix Medicare and the Republicans will look worse for it.
Had Rove been the genius he thinks he is, he'd have gotten it all done at once. But he didn't, and he couldn't get the remnants of the Gingrich Libertarian-Conservative bloc on board.
Component 5: Reform immigration laws - The pro-business Republicans would love to fix this as it gives their Corporate Masters cheap labor to exploit. Every day Mexicans, as well people from other Central and South American countries, come up here to find work. They're very hard workers who will work for minimum wage in tough conditions so they can send as much money back to Mexico as they can. For business, these undocumented laborers are like manna from heaven - hard working, won't unionize, easily exploitable. With a pro-business Republican party in power, this should have been a no-brainer.
But Rove, once again, completely misunderstood his own party and his base. The problem here is that the Republicans have been openly deliberately dog-whistling to the racist, xenophobic crowd in their rhetoric for DECADES. Simply put, their base won't let them make this reform, and it's their damn fault for encouraging this behavior in their base.

Aug 15, 2012 Comments Off on CHICAGOLAND: 50,000 Illegal Mexicans Line Up For Obama Amnesty Program Pat Dollard
(NBC CHICAGO) The turnout for Wednesday's Dream Relief workshop in Chicago was so strong that organizers began turning people away.
The line of undocumented students wrapped around Navy Pier and at one point across the Chicago River to apply for deferred action to allow them, at least in the short-term, not to worry about deportation. As many as 50,000 lined up for the program, according to estimates.
Following a major immigration policy change about two months ago, the Dream Relief workshop helps children who were illegally brought into the United States apply for a work permit and even a driver's license.
Five thousand people initially signed up for the workshop, and as the 9 a.m. start time came and went, the crowds kept filing toward the lake. Organizers said they would be able to provide full services for 1,500 people today and partial services to another 6,000. The new policy announced by President Barack Obama this summer took effect Wednesday and will allow more than 75,000 young undocumented immigrants in Illinois and 1.7 million across the country the temporary right to live and work openly in the United States.
"It's an opportunity that we've been waiting for basically for a really long time," said applicant Edalid Miranda, "and finally it's here."
The program is open to applicants ages 15 to 31 who came to the country before they were 16 years old and have lived in the U.S. for the past five years.
Registrants were required to bring a proof of identity, as well as documentation of enrollment in school or honorable discharge from the Armed Forces. Registrants must not have been convicted of a felony, a significant misdemeanor or multiple misdemeanor offenses. Full details and restrictions are listed at dreamrelief.org.
"A lot of dreams are going to be accomplished by this," said Christian Lopez.
Workshops will be held each month through January, and because of the huge turnout, more workshops could be added.

Everything works very well, especially the hood which has three adjustment points. It is more complicated than most wind jackets I have had before in that it has not only the great hood but also pit zips and two large… Full review
Patagonia Ice Nine Suit
The best winter mountaineering shell I have ever seen. Bright colors for visibility in low visibility situations or avalanches. Heavy duty Gore-Tex material prevents punctures from ice axes, crampons, rocks from hit when doing a sitting glacade. Many many zippered vents full length removing the need to take your plastic boots off in order to put on the one piece shell. Best piece of kit I have ever purchased. I have put mine through an enormous amount of abuse and falls and the suite is still intact… Full review
Patagonia Super Pluma Jacket
Great all around jacket, built for anything. Will keep you dry. I bought this jacket for backpacking, but after a couple uses, it became my everything jacket. Quickly replaced my go-to ski jacket, found myself wearing it for chilly bike rides, short little strolls through the woods, kayaking and canoeing in the spring and fall. Extremely windproof and waterproof, and with its light weight there is really no reason not to bring it along. The first time I took it out on a trip, 65 degree temps dropped… Full review
Outdoor Research Men's Mithril Jacket
Great waterproof soft shell jacket. Durable and stylish. A great soft shell jacket. I have used it skiing and as a hiking jacket, and it had no problems keeping me dry in rain and snow showers. Also became my around town jacket in the late fall and early spring. It is a good mid weight, not overly warm (which is good for me, I tend to overheat), but provides much more warmth that my other rain shells. Velcro wrist adjustments work great, much prefer them to the elastic style. Plenty of pocket space… Full review
Outdoor Research ActiveIce Sun Sleeves
OR ActiveIce Sun Sleeves work well protecting the wearer from harmful UV rays, while keeping cool with ActiveIce technology. This product works well for everyday use, as well as any outdoor activity from a leisurely hike to mountaineering! No more sticky arms from sunscreen when tromping through the wilderness! This product is a great alternative for people who don't like to wear sunscreen every day, but still need protection from the suns destructive rays. I have found them comfortable and reliable,… Full review
Frogg Toggs Ultra-Lite2 Rain Suit
Great lightweight rain suit, but material was not very durable. I purchased this set for a Boy Scout camping trip about a year ago. They were 14 dollars at Walmart, which seemed like a good deal. It comes with its own little storage pouch and they fold down really small and lightweight so packing them in a backpack is easy. The outer material is some sort of plastic like a tyvek suit. It does a good job of keeping the rain off of you, but without any sort of vents built in you quickly start to… Full review

On nice days, it isnt unusual to find one or two optimists wetting a line in Colonial Lake at the spot on the Ashley Avenue side where water drains in and out.
And even on days that arent so nice, youre likely to see people from all parts of the peninsula taking their constitutional around the seven-acre lake.
They do so because the walk is pretty despite the stale smell from the shallow, mucky-bottomed, algae-filled pond.
With $100,000 from the city of Charleston to match a $100,000 grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, plans are for some fixes to reduce the muck in the lake and raise the water level.
Dustin Clemens, Charlestons assistant director of capital projects, said the work will involve adding a flow line to the storm drain at Beaufain Street to allow more two-way water movement in and out of the lake.
Not yet nailed down are plans to redo the lakes walls and walking paths and landscape.
As nice as it would be for the lakes walls to be repaired soon, the city must keep necessary repairs of the Battery at the stop of its list. A detailed 2004 engineering report found Colonial Lakes walls as ranging from poor to fair to good. By comparison, the Low Battery seawall has been assessed as fair to poor.
Additionally, the Battery provides some protection for the peninsula during storms. And it is a key piece of the pedestrian waterfront walk around the peninsula.
Wisely, the city has begun preliminary work toward replacing the most fragile part of the Battery the section where High Battery meets Low Battery. But the rest of the Battery needs repairing, too.
Fortunately, the Charleston Parks Conservancy is interested in improvements to Colonial Lake, and it is expected to make announcements about its green space effort in 2013.
The lake is a worthy project. It is part of a large tract set aside by the city as a common. In 1881, the city appropriated funds to improve what was then called the Rutledge Street Pond and to create an area to rival White Point Garden.
In 1884, the lakes concrete walls were completed.
It was a popular place to boat, fish and even swim until the water quality worsened. It remains a popular place for running, walking dogs and relaxing.
And with cleaner, deeper water, maybe Colonial Lake anglers wont have to be such optimists.

This is an interesting, important, ambitious, and infuriating book, one that deserves both attention and response from the mathematics community. It has many good things to say, and it has the ambition to reshape the debate on the philosophy of mathematics.
There was a time, early in the twentieth century, in which mathematicians were passionately interested in the philosophy of mathematics. People were deeply concerned about what mathematics is, what sort of existence mathematical objects have, and their opinions on these questions actually influenced the mathematics they did.
There were three major points of view in the debate about the nature of mathematics. The formalists argued (roughly: the short summaries that follow are really caricatures) that mathematics was really simply the formal manipulation of symbols based on arbitrarily-chosen axioms. The Platonists saw mathematics as almost an experimental science, studying objects that really exist (in some sense), though they clearly don't exist in a physical or material sense. The intuitionists had the most radical point of view; essentially, they saw all mathematics as a human creation and therefore as essentially finite. The intuitionists refused to have any dealings with completed infinite sets, rejected the "law of the excluded middle" (i.e., the claim that a mathematical statement is always either true or false), and were willing to give up large tracts of classical analysis that didn't fit this point of view.
The fact that the debate never really got resolved, together with the complicating factor of Gödel's incompleteness theorems, seem to have caused most mathematicians to lose interest. In recent years, most mathematicians seem to have been content with an attitude best described by Jean Dieudonné. In everyday life, we speak as Platonists, treating the objects of our study as real things that exist independently of human thought. If challenged on this, however, we retreat to some sort of formalism, arguing that in fact we are just pushing symbols around without making any metaphysical claims. Most of all, however, we want to do mathematics rather than argue about what it actually is. We're content to leave that to the philosophers.
Reuben Hersh wants to change this. His book is an attempt to get us all involved in the debate about the nature of mathematics. To this end, he does a number of things. First, he argues that most writing on the foundations of mathematics is woefully ignorant of actual mathematical practice. Second, he tries to break the three-way tie by making a new proposal as to what mathematics really is. Third, he runs through the history of the philosophy of mathematics to argue that (a) his position is not really new, but has a distinguished pedigree, and (b) that all the other positions are clearly wrong. Finally, he connects philosophical positions on the nature of mathematics to broader philosophical and political issues.
The foundational debates of the early twentieth century turned on the issue of certainty. Everyone agreed that mathematical statements were true in an absolute sense, that one could be certain that they were true. The issue was to find a philosophy of mathematics that guaranteed that certainty. Hersh's position is that the desire for certainty is simply a mistake. In fact, he argues, regardless of our ideals, mathematics is done by fallible people, and so the traditional philosophies cannot really guarantee certainty. So let's give it up: mathematics is a human endeavor, and mathematical truths are uncertain like any other truths.
But if we locate mathematics as a human construction, we need to account for the very strong feeling that mathematical objects have some sort of independent existence. The number pi (or the number two) is not just something in my head! Hersh agrees, and proposes that mathematical "objects" are really socio-cultural constructs. As such, they really do transcend individual minds even while remaining human creations. Hersh calls this view of mathematics humanism.
So far so good: it's an interesting proposal, and has much in its favor. It makes modest claims for mathematics which actually correspond to our human experience as mathematicians, and it takes seriously the fact that mathematics is learned and taught. (It is also, which Hersh does not observe, completely compatible with a Platonist understanding of mathematical objects; all that one needs to do is to delete the (implicit) "merely" in Hersh's claim that mathematical objects are socio-cultural constructs. Our mathematical concepts can certainly be socio-cultural constructs that attempt to grasp and understand Platonist mathematical objects...) The humanist view allows us to escape from metaphysics and to focus attention on things we can actually observe first-hand: the mathematical community and how it learns, teaches, and develops mathematics.
There are other persuasive things about "humanism." For example, it is deeply aware that mathematics has a history. Both formalism and Platonism often give the impression that they deal with mathematics as a completed product, when in fact mathematics is produced by people working in socio-cultural contexts. A look at the history of mathematics certainly seems to undermine a naive formalism (since "formal proof" is a relatively recent phenomenon). History also asks difficult questions for Platonism; does it really make sense to claim that, say, Galois groups "really exist", and that they existed even in Euclid's time?
On the other hand, the humanist view reduces our feeling that mathematical truths are really true to a social consensus, something we learn. This opens the possibility that Little Green People from Mars, if they exist, have a mathematics that is not only different from, but actually contradictory to ours. This is a position that many mathematicians find extremely hard to take.
One should emphasize that the evidence for some sort of "certainty" in mathematical truths goes beyond our intuitive feelings about them. The history of mathematics also points in this direction. We may no longer accept some of Euclid's arguments as rigorous, but we do think every one of his theorems is still true! What other science can make such a claim? Or consider Fermat's Last Theorem: is there any other field of human endeavor in which a question posed in 1636 can still make sense, in exactly the original terms, 350 years later?
In arguing for his humanist philosophy of mathematics, Hersh has some very good points to make, but he seems to spend much more time attacking the rival positions of formalism and Platonism. Against formalism, he follows and develops the criticisms of Imre Lakatos: he argues that no one actually writes formal proofs of anything, and that the view that mathematics is simply meaningless symbol-pushing is impossible to believe. Against Platonism, he argues that believing in eternal mathematical objects existing independently of human thought is only possible if one believes that God exists, which, he says, no one does anymore.
While there is something to both arguments, neither of them really takes the opposing philosophical position seriously. Formalism is more solid than Hersh makes it seem, Platonism has been the position of serious philosophers who were not theists, and, after all, many philosophers do believe that God exists. So do many mathematicians. This points up the basic problem: all too often, Hersh is willing to dismiss the opinions of eminent thinkers after only a very shallow interaction with their thought.
As a result, Hersh's historical survey of the philosophy of mathematics is, to my mind, the weakest part of the book. The quick sketches of the thought of various philosophers really do justice to no one. (They remind me of John Rist's description of Bertrand Russell's History of Western Philosophy: "sophistic and simplistic misinterpretations of most Western ethics and metaphysics.") An example is his treatment of George Berkeley's very complex philosophy of mathematics, which gets reduced to "using the deficiency of mathematics to support religion." He then adds "His attack on mathematicians is unique since St. Augustine," which is hard to understand, since in his section on St. Augustine Hersh explains that Augustine's "attack on mathematicians" is really nothing of the sort!
Even less convincing is Hersh's attempt, in the last chapter, to correlate philosophers' positions on mathematics with their political stances, in order to reach the conclusion that "the Platonist view of number is associated with political conservatism, and the humanist view of number with democratic politics." Aside from the fact that he takes as axiomatic that being associated with the latter is better, the whole argument is based on a painfully arbitrary distinction of left versus right. (David Hume as a leftist?!).
The book concludes with an invocation of the story of the blind men and the elephant "as a metaphor for the philosophy of mathematics, with its Wise Men groping at the wondrous beast, Mathematics." All except, it seems, the humanist, who can see the whole elephant and laugh at the fallibility of all the others. Hersh doesn't seem to realize how arrogant this attitude is.
What I think is missing from the book is a realization that the philosophy of mathematics is indeed philosophy, and not science, and that therefore it cannot ignore the overarching philosophical issues that relate to it. It is clear that one's beliefs on metaphysics and epistemology, and particularly one's stance with respect to the notion of truth, are going to have an enormous impact on one's positions on the nature of mathematical objects and mathematical truths.
However, despite the serious limitations of Hersh's treatment of other thinkers, and despite the fact that he does not argue for his "humanist" position as forcefully as he might have, this is still a book that deserves attention. It should be widely read, discussed, and argued with. I hope it stimulates many responses, and most of all that it manages to convince more mathematicians of the importance of the questions with which it deals.

there is a "war on alcohol" (pointless) or a "war on lsd" (pointless) or a "war on meth" (NOT pointless)
you need to evaluate each drug individually, because for some drugs, that are highly addictive and inebriating, pushing back against the availability of the drug has a real effect in terms of saving lots of lives
there are two classes of drug users, for any drug: the committed idiot, and the casual idiot
the committed idiot, just as you say, represents a permanent underclass of drug addled zombie. no law will stop their self-destruction. whether every drug is completely free, or completely draconianly locked down, they will still destory their lives, no matter what you do. that's just their psychological fate. and so they don't matter in the policy analysis
but the CASUAl idiot, the average teenager who thinks they are immune and immortal, that there are no limitations on their will power: in a free and unfettered environment, these are lives you are burdening with decades of quality of life destroying, freedom destroying addiction (when it comes to only the worst drugs: cocaine, heroine, meth). but given enough time, and difficulty in accessing the worst substances, the casual teenage idiot will mature and realize on their own the threat coke/ meth/ heroin has on their quality of life and freedom
that is what the war on drugs is for. not the permanent unalterable underclass of drug zombies, but the much larger user base of casual idiots who, with CERTAIN substances (meth/ heorin/ coke) will be turned into drug zombies
you have to evaluate the substances individually. alcohol, marijuana: the war on drugs is stupid
heroin, coke: the war on drugs makes a genuine net positive. yes, the war on drugs has plenty of negative effects. for alcohol/ marijuana, those negative effects argue for legalization. but for some substances, life destruction is so viral through easy addiction, that the war, even with all the negativ effects considered, still has a net positive effect

Grading Procedures
Academic and Performance Standards
Student achievement is assessed on an A+ through F grading scale. The official grading system of Indiana University is as follows:
- A+ or A: 4.0
The problem that teachers face in giving grades, that is, how to balance objective achievement with individual progress, has to be addressed and reconciled by each faculty member. It is very important that the clearest possible statements be made to students, ideally in a written syllabus at the beginning of a semester, about the basis for grades. Consistency and fairness are respected and appreciated by students. Even in areas such as performance study, chamber music, or ensemble, the basis on which the students are to be graded must be articulated to them very clearly.
Students should also be informed of the university policies on academic misconduct (see the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct and the Processes and Procedures for Implementation of the Code at IU Bloomington). The teacher should be careful to monitor any possible acts of academic misconduct. Procedures to follow are outlined in the Processes and Procedures document. The teacher should report any violations to the Dean of Students in an online form which is available at the Dean of Students website (see "Academic Misconduct").
An Academic Fairness Committee of the Jacobs School of Music, consisting of faculty and students and coordinated by the Associate Dean for Instruction, is available to students who have a grievance concerning grades or other academic matters. This committee also serves as an appeal board for students charged with academic misconduct. The committee follows the procedures outlined in the Code and other School and University documents. The Associate Dean for Instruction has more information about appeal and committee procedures.
Grade Rosters and Deadlines
Enrollment Verification Rosters
You will receive paper enrollment verification rosters from the Office of the Registrar approximately 5 weeks into the semester. The purpose of these rosters is to verify enrollment in the courses you teach and to resolve enrollment discrepancies. You are expected to return the verified and signed rosters to the graduate and undergraduate offices or the Registrar by the listed deadline. It is particularly important to check early in the semester that everyone who is attending is actually enrolled in the class, and to inform the Registrar of students who are enrolled but not attending, and students who are attending but not enrolled. The link to these rosters will be sent to your IU email account by the Registrar.
Midterm Grade Rosters
Only music freshmen with fewer than 26 credit hours and University Division students with fewer than 56 credit hours are listed and receive grades. Midterm rosters are available online beginning the 8th week of the semester and are due the following week. Midterm grades must be assigned and entered online using OneStart.
Final Grade Rosters
Final grades must be assigned and entered online via OneStart or Oncourse by 3:00pm on the third day following the last class, jury or final exam. All grades must be entered on time. AIs should not leave campus without fulfilling this responsibility, as students can find themselves unable to graduate or ineligible for financial aid because of missing grades. Check with the faculty member or instrumental coordinator in charge to determine exactly how grades should be reported. For detailed grade entry instructions, please refer to the Registrar's website.
Please contact the Music Advising and Records Service office for assistance with rosters and grading. For undergraduate questions call 855-3743 and for graduate questions call 855-1738.
Recital Grades
Grades for recitals deserve special mention. When a student reserves a performance space, has a program printed and the hearing approved, it is assumed that he or she intends to perform the recital. However, there is no way for the academic recorders of the school to know whether the recital was actually performed unless a grade is turned in by the performance study teacher for that recital. The grade should be written on a copy of the student's program with the performance study teacher's signature and given to the undergraduate or graduate records office, JS120, on the first working day following the recital. For graduate recitals, a written grade request will be sent to the instructor which should be returned to the graduate office in JS120. For undergraduate recitals, the instructor will receive a grade request via email. For more information, please see the Recitals page.

Finally, GIRLS back to its best: laugh-out-loud humor and a deep pathos that lingers long after the closing credits.
Hannah is out pounding shots with her work friends and she gets so drunk she barely makes it outside the bar before she pukes. Joe brings her back to his place and takes care of her all night.
The next day, Marnie shows up at Soojin's new gallery space to discuss a job. "What I really need is an assistant who's more qualified than I am." "Assistant?" Marnie squeeks. Soojin tells her yes, it's a really small staff and her "best homo friend" is already gallery director. Marnie takes the job. Before leaving, she asks Soojin, "How old are you?" She's twenty-four," but for the cred and intrigue of the gallery I'm going to say twenty-two."
Hannah bursts into the apartment and apologizes to Adam. "It was so irresponsible!" she says. "Did you have fun with your work friends?" he asks, walking into the bathroom to check out his outfit for rehearsal. "Were you worried about me? I slept at Joe's house. He's a guy." Adam couldn't care less. He asks her opinion about his coat from wardrobe. She showers, and he's reading a book. She climbs onto his lap and they start kissing but he eventually pushes her off saying, "I don't want to get sticky before rehearsal." "Are you serious?" she says. He says, "I still love you." "I still love you — it's not a big deal."
Marnie is hanging out with Desi, Adam's buddy from the play. He's playing the guitar and reading lyrics she wrote in her journal, which she dismisses as stuff she just wrote "on Ambien." He encourages her, gets her to sing, and there seems to be chemistry between them, especially when he starts singing to her "I need you in my bed now…" But then he tells her he really misses his girlfriend, Clementine, who has to travel a lot for work.
Jessa is lounging and laughing with her annoying man-friend from rehab in Shosh's apartment . Shosh, trying to study, has clearly had it with both of them.
Hannah shows up at Adam's play rehearsal because he invited her to. But the director yells at her to get out, and Adam acts like he doesn't know why she's there. She leaves humiliated.
Cut to: Hannah eating a burrito in bed with Elijah. "That romance, that mystery, that thrill — that goes. And you know what you're left with? Trying to seduce someone who just wants you to leave so they can jerk off and take the bus to rehearsal." She says there's nothing weird or exciting about their sex life anymore. "He's treating me like an ottoman with a vagina." She tells Elijah that the thing about Adam is that he's the best person she's ever known. "Is he?" Elijah says, eyebrow raised. Hannah decides she just needs to do something to remind he why they love each other.
He calls her from rehearsal, and tell her to meet him at a bar at nine. She calls Marnie and asks to borrow her apartment.
That night, Jessa and her man-friend show up at a restaurant where they are meeting Shosh. They are surprised with her man-friend's daughter shows up. Shosh called her. Jessa is appalled. The daughter, Dot, says, "How old is she, Dad?" Jessa gets indignant: "I'm forty seven years old. I deserve a little respect." The daughter is having none of it, and shames her father into ditching Jessa so he can get clean again. Later, Shosh finds Jessa sitting outside on the sidewalk smoking, "I hope you're happy," Jessa says bitterly. "You look like a junkie," says Shosh. "I am a junkie," says Jessa.
Hannah is at a bar wearing a platinum blonde wig. Adam walks in and doesn't recognize her. When she finally gets his attention, she is in full-on role playing as the lonely wife of a hedgefunder. She is so committed to it, and he is so confused, that it's the funniest scene of the season. "May I be so bold as to ask what sorts of women interest you?" "Married sluts like you." She throws her drink in his face. "Are you on crack? I'm a married older woman! I have a child your age." She runs outside and he follows her. "No one talks to me like that but my husband!" A stranger tries to break up their 'argument' and ends up punching Adam in the face.
They go to Marnie's, where Hannah tells Adam, "This is my husband's pied-a-terre." She has champagne and strawberries on the bed. More hilarious role-playing dialogue ensues, the best of which is not appropriate for detailing here. This is an episode you have to watch for yourself. He tells her to take off her clothes, and she puts up faint protest before whipping off her sweater to reveal a black lacy undergarment that just criss-crosses over her bare breasts. "Skirt too," he says. "This is humiliating," says Hannah. He orders her to get on the bed. He tells her to eat a strawberry — whole. "I'm afraid to eat the green part." He insists she eat it whole: "Swallow it whole, you just can't have part," he repeats. (Is this a metaphor for relationships?) She spits it out, "Very hard to do," she says, still trying to maintain her role-playing voice and look sexy.
They have sex, but here Hannah switches to a different role-playing dynamic (popular chearleader and high school weirdo) and Adam gets annoyed. "you can't change roles in the middle of everything. It doesn't make any narrative sense." She says what, now that you're in a play you're the expert in what makes narrative sense? She says she was just trying to do something you'd like, like have sex the way that we used to. "What do you mean the way that we used to? You don't like the way that we do it now?" She says it's just that he used to be so creative and that was the way sex was between them. He says it wasn't all creepy and pre-planned like this — that it came to him in the moment. He says she has an old idea of who he is. He tells her he used to have meaningless sex and pick up women in bars to keep from drinking. But "then we fell in love, and then I just wanted to have sex with just you — as us." He says if the sex they've been having isn't working for her, then he's sorry he disappointed her. She says that's not what she meant. He says he has a job to do now and isn't there to fill her life with stories for Twitter. She says she has a job to and he says it's not the same thing. Now she's getting pissed. "Really? That's crazy." He says he cant' do this — he has to focus. He's going to stay at Ray's. She's like wait — what? He says he's just going to stay at Ray's through the rehearsal process so he can avoid dealing with all this drama. "What drama?" she asks. "This is just me." Adam says, "Exactly." And he leaves.

Active Stage Monitor
- High power and sonic performance, clarity and precision
- Exceptional rider friendliness
- Tight coverage pattern and exceptional immunity to feedback
- Dual wedge shape for short or long-throw floor monitoring
- Low cabinet profile for discrete TV stage presence
- Sturdy design and construction for extended longevity
- LA8 advanced system drive and protection
L-ACOUSTICS® introduced the first coaxial loudspeaker for sound reinforcement, in 1989. Initially designed for multipurpose applications, the coaxial technology has demonstrated numerous advantages over classic two-way systems which typically suffer from interference around the crossover point resulting in lobing and uneven frequency and power response.
The particular benefits of coaxial technology are related to the radiation characteristics of a point source. The natural studio monitor sound quality and the aural sensation of transparent sound typical of coaxial systems is adapted to proximity applications such as stage monitoring, front-fills, under-balcony fills and FOH live monitoring.
The point source technology is also suited to distributed applications in semi-reverberant spaces where a single reflected source offers a more coherent radiation field with less reflected virtual sources than a dual acoustic source typical of horn-woofer combinations.
All coaxial systems are available as plug and play solutions with built-in amplification and DSP (P series) or amplified controllers available with a complete set of dedicated preset libraries for FOH, fill and monitor modes. This integrated package offers the user a fast and easy set-up and
The 115XT HiQ is the high-end model within the L-ACOUSTICS® XT coaxial series, designed for stage monitor and distributed FOH applications. It operates as an active 2-way enclosure, over a frequency bandwidth from 50 Hz to 20 kHz which can be lowered to 32 Hz with the addition of the SB18 subwoofer.
The 115XT HiQ enclosure contains a 3'' diaphragm compression driver loaded onto a constant directivity conical waveguide united in a coaxial configuration with a 15'' low frequency transducer. Integrated into a compact low profile bass-reflex tuned enclosure this coaxial transducer arrangement produces a 50° axi-symmetric directivity output along with a smooth tonal response free of anysecondary lobes over the entire frequency range, resulting in exceptional immunity to feedback especially in monitoring situations.
Made of high-grade Baltic birch plywood, the wedge-shaped cabinet design makes the 115XT HiQ perfectly suited to short or long throw monitoring use with two fixed angle settings of 30˚ and 60° from vertical. The 115XT HiQ can also be pole-mounted using the integrated socket or flown using the complementary ETR15 bracket or XTLIFTBAR accessory.
The control and amplification of the 115XT HiQ is managed by the L-ACOUSTICS® LA8 platform. The active DSP filtering encompasses advanced crossover functions, system EQ, HF and LF transducer time alignment, and dual protection of the transducers (PEAK and RMS). The L-ACOUSTICS® LA8 amplified controller offers the following drive modes:
For each mode a distinction is drawn between [FRONT], [FILL] and [MONITOR] presets as they respectively match front of house, distributed applications and half-space loading operating conditions.
The performances of the 115XT HiQ enclosure depend upon the choice of preset and physical system configuration.
