Institutional Accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) assures the college community, general public, and local organizations that Whittier College is in compliance with federal standards. WASC is one of six official academic bodies in the United States that is charged with the accreditation of Whittier College.
Our theme-based approach to our 4 C's (Community, Culture, Connections, and Communication) represents an on-going project that engages the community in setting goals and evaluating our progress and accountability towards them.
WASC accreditation is also an opportunity for Whittier College to demonstrate the involvement from stakeholders from all levels. The WASC steering group led by the Vice President and Academic Dean helps guide multiple standing committees, departments and working groups in data gathering and analysis for the purpose of institutional review and evaluation, which help the college keep in good condition the self-review process, system of quality assurance, data collection, and analysis.
The 2009 Institutional Proposal
The Institutional Proposal guides the review process, from the Capacity and Preparatory Review (CPR) to the Educational Effectiveness Review (EER). The report is a response to concerns raised during the last accreditation, the contexts for its accreditation review, and strategies for assessing and improving student and organizational learning.
2011 Capacity and Preparatory Review (CPR)
The CPR provides updated data on capacity measures regarding Whittier's College 4 C's, especially in regards to Community, Culture, and Connection.
2012 Educational Effectiveness Review (EER)
2013 Educational Effectiveness Review (EER) and Commission Action Letter
The EER examines the institution's effectiveness of educational programs along with the College's 4 C's, especially Community, Culture, and Connection.

Just after the Rwanda genocide broke out in 1994, white expatriates were speedily evacuated from the place. Adam Jones (2006) wrote of a video record at the Caraes psychiatric Hospital in Ndera Kigali showing white individuals being evacuated while Hutus were almost outside the gates, and the Tutsis begged the military men for protection. One soldier yelled, "Solve your problems yourselves!"
The UN Genocide Convention has defined genocide as "acts committed with the intent to destroy in part or whole a national, ethnic racial or religious group as such." Staub (2000) provides the social context which makes genocide of one group by another likely—difficult life conditions and group conflict. Cultural differences also come to play such as blind respect for authority, inflexible stratification within classes, and a history of devaluation in a group.
Not all members of the dominant group become perpetrators. There were the 'ordinary Germans' who did nothing while the Holocaust happened, while there were also countless Germans who defied authority and managed to rescue Jewish families in peril. In a genocide setting, there are the perpetrators, bystanders and rescuers. These categories can also be fluid, as noted by Monroe, when constant bystanders turn into rescuers, or when perpetrators who have engaged in massacres, rescue an individual from the other group. Monroe defines six critical aspects gathered from summaries of reports of these three groups which play a part in the role a group or individual makes: self image, personal suffering, identity, relational identity, integration of values with the individual's sense of self, and a cognitive classification of the other. Perpetrators may perceive of themselves as victims and justify causing harm to the other group. Bystanders and perpetrators may hold greater value for community, and authority, rather than self-assertion. Personal suffering may also cause a group or an individual to empathize with the aggrieved group, but it may also heighten fear and defensiveness. While cultural and social aspects are important in determining attitudes and behavior, self images can also determine if people will act or remain passive in the face of genocide. Individuals who feel they have control over the situation may be forced to do something about it, as opposed to bystanders who, even if they also empathize with the aggrieved group, may feel helpless over the situation.

Clinical Significance
Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), a member of the herpesvirus group, is the etiologic agent of Infectious Mononucleosis (IM). EBV infections are difficult to diagnosis in the laboratory, in part because the virus does not grow in standard cell cultures. The majority of infections can be recognized, however, by testing the patient's serum for heterophile antibodies, which usually appear in the first 3 weeks of illness and then decline rapidly within the next few weeks. The heterophile antibody, however, fails to develop in 10% of adults with IM, fails in a greater percentage of children with IM and is usually negative in infants with EBV infections. Although many of the cases of heterophile negative IM-like infections are due to cytomegalovirus (CMV), EBV cannot be ruled out without additional testing. Other antibody tests (IgG and IgM vs. Viral Capsid Antigen [VCA/IgG and VCA/IgM]; IgG vs. EB Nuclear Antigen [EBNA/IgG]; and IgG vs. Early D Antigen [EA-D]) are often useful in detecting heterophile negative cases of IM Note: These additional tests are recommended in heterophile-negative patients with clinical signs and symptoms of IM.
– IgG and IgM vs. Viral Capsid Antigen:
The presence of Viral Capsid Antigen IgM antibodies (VCA/IgM) indicates recent primary infection with EBV. It is detected in almost 100% of cases with high titers and is usually present in the serum before the onset of clinical symptoms. These antibody levels start to fall by the third week and disappear in 1-6 months. Note: VCA/IgM may sometimes be seen in other herpesvirus infections (especially CMV). Therefore, confirmation with IgG and EBNA assays are recommended. In addition sometimes serologic testing for VCA/IgM is requested after the antibody level has fallen below detectable limits, another indication for additional testing. Testing for VCA/IgM is a confirmatory test and should not be performed as a screening procedure in the general population. It should only be performed in patients suspected clinically of having IM. The predictive value of a positive or negative test depends greatly on the clinical likelihood of EBV associated disease. The presence of Viral Capsid IgG antibodies (VCA/IgG) indicates EBV infection sometime in the past and immunity. It also appears early in the illness and is detected in almost all cases. Its levels fall slightly during convalescence but are detectable for years after the illness. Because over 90% of normal adults have detectable VCA/IgG levels, it is not useful as a screen for IM in symptomatic adults. EBV is also associated with Burkitt's Lymphoma and B-cell lymphomas in immunosuppressed or immunocompromised patients as well as in patients with poorly differentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma. VCA/IgG antibody levels are positive in these patients.
– IgG vs. Epstein-Barr Nuclear Antigen:
Epstein-Barr Nuclear antibodies (EBNA) are the last antibodies to appear in IM. They are rarely present in the acute phase of the illness. EBNAs are detectable a few weeks after the onset of clinical symptoms, their levels rise during convalescence (3-12 months) and persist for many years. Absent EBNA and presence of VCA antibodies indicates acute infection.
– IgG vs. Early D Antigen:
Early antigen anti-D (EA-D) titers rise later in the course of IM than VCA antibodies but before the appearance of EBNA antibodies. They usually present 3-4 weeks after clinical onset of disease and disappear after clinical recovery. When present and combined with the presence of VCA/IgG they suggest recent EBV infection. However, antibodies vs. Early D antigen are seen in only 70% of patients with IM due to EBV. IgG vs. Early D Antigen is also seen in many patients with poorly differentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Acute primary EBV infection is indicated by one of the following serologic findings:
1. VCA/IgM found early during clinical symptoms and later disappears
2. Brief appearance of Early D Antigen followed by its disappearance
3. Early VCA/IgG without EBNA and later appearance of EBNA
The presence of IgM antibodies to VCA is normally detected in acute infectious mononucleosis (IM). However, it may not be detected in all acute IM patients. Although the heterophile antibody (latex slide) test is commonly used to diagnose acute IM, up to 20% of patients with primary Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) infection do not develop heterophile antibodies. Testing for both heterophile antibody and anti-VCA IgM increases the likelihood of detecting acute primary infection.

What travelers to Paris are saying
Perfect Paris
The City of Lights, the City of Love, the city of Inspector Clouseau… Paris is so picture-postcard magnificent with its wide boulevards, grand buildings and effortless elegance that, like Peter Sellers' bumbling Clouseau, there is something almost ridiculous about it.
Fortunately, its residents bring you down to earth. Parisians are arrogant. Sure, the people most tourists come in contact with in Paris – hotel staff, shopkeepers, taxi drivers, even the touts flogging overpriced, cheaply made tat outside the likes of the Palace of Versailles – are friendly enough. But the other 8 million or so Paris residents will openly look down their noses at you, honk their horns as you try to navigate your hire car around the world's scariest roundabout (aka Place d'Etoile, where the Arc de Triomphe stands) and generally dismiss you with a magnificently Gallic 'pah!'
And there has to be something good about a city whose residents are so contemptuous of the people who visit it. So instead of being put out by it, see it as a sign that you are in a city so great its people don't even feel the need to entice you to take a boat ride along the Seine (for the ghoulish, the Bateaux Mouchesleave from Pont d'Alma, at the entrance to the tunnel where Princess Diana died). Or wander with the students around the stalls and wonderful old bookshops in Paris' Latin Quarter. Or climb the hill to the still-bohemian Montmartre and the neighbouring red-light district of the Pigalle, where bars that double as brothels mingle with iconic establishment like Moulin Rouge.
Paris is so wonderful its inhabitants don't want you to know. That's some recommendation.
Paris: Best Public Square
Splendid and refined. Lively and sedate. Paris' Place Des Vosges is the leading European prototype of a royal residential square. Built in 1606 by Henri IV and housing the likes of writer Victor Hugo and post impressionist painter Georges Dufrénoy, it sits across the border of the 3rd and 4th arrondissements, right in the Marais district. Part 17th century royal throwback, part meeting spot for Parisian fey, cashed-up youth, Place Des Vosges is wonderfully egalitarian while cunningly managing to keep the hoi polloi away.
Urban and symmetrical planning at its best, Place Des Vosges features a mélange of private residences, boutique hotels, cafes, restaurants, galleries and a posh tea providore. The square, oddly enough, is divided into grassy quadrants bordered by gravel paths and peppered with a fountain and strategically placed topiary. Summer days here are buzzing – but not groaning – with picnicking families, spontaneous croquet games and the odd busker of relative repute.Paris' Top 10
10. Musee d'Orsay Known for its remarkable collection of impressionist and post-impressionist masterpieces. Be astounded by the likes of Monet, Degas, and Van Gogh.

Paris Local1st Arrondissement
Paris is divided into 20 districts called arrondissements that are numbered from 1 to 20 and spiral around from the centre of the city. You can start at the 1st district and then work your way out from there. The 1st district is home to the Louvre, Palais Royal, and the Tuileries Gardens, where you can chill out in the cafes or scoff down some ice cream.3rd and 4th Arrondissements
These two districts are the oldest in Paris. Centred on the two islands in the Seine, the Île de la Cité and Île Saint-Louis and linked to the rest of the city by the 500-year-old Pont Neuf, it's home to some of Paris' most iconic buildings (and, in the case of the Bastille, former buildings), including Notre Dame Cathedral and the Pompidou Centre. Check out the stalls along both banks of the river (and the city beach created in the summer), the flea markets and the wonderful bars, shops and restaurants.5th and 6th Arrondissements
Like a small village, the Latin Quarter houses numerous schools and universities, the Jardin des Plantes (the botanical gardens), Arenes de Lutece (an ancient Roman theatre which held 15,000 spectators), and the Grande Mosquee de Paris (Grand Mosque of Paris). With so many students around, it's no surprise that this is the place to go for some of the best times in Paris. After dark, the bars come to life, the food is cheap but tasty, the absinthe runs freely…7th Arrondissement
The grand heart of Paris with Place de la Concorde at its centre. It was there King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette had their heads cut off. On the south of square is the magnificent Hotel des Invalides, once a military hospital, now Napolean Bonaparte's resting place; to the north is the church of the Madeleine; and running away to the west is the Champs-Elysees,where fashion tragics the world over come to worship and normal people come to vomit.Paris Eats

The French Tennis Open, the world's premiere clay-court event, starts at the end of May.
In June, the Fete de la Musique takes music to new levels.
No-one quite knows why, but the French love bike racing. Could be something to do with the tight bike shorts. Could be because it's fun sitting out in the sun with a bottle of red in one hand, a baguette in the other and some seriously smelly cheese balanced on your knees. Regardless, the Tour de France ends under the Arc de Triomphe in July after 3500 grueling kilometers (that's 2175 equally grueling miles). Be among the thousands lining the streets to see who is the ultimate winner of the yellow jersey, then wonder which drugs he's on.
Bastille Day on 14 July celebrates the beginning of the French Revolution. Party the day and night away on France's most important holiday. Fireworks are everywhere, so you may as well join in the fun as you won't get much sleep.
In mid-September, hip (and hop) youngsters take to the streets for the Techno Parade.
Fashion Week returns in October, to flaunt collections for the following summer.
The third Thursday in November is Le Beaujolais Nouveau, marking the beginning of the Christmas season. Christmas lights illuminate the Champs-Elysees, and even the French President turns out to party.
Fireworks light up the Eiffel Tower on New Year's Eve. Hundreds of thousands pack the streets. Can be fun, can be cramped and a little crazy.
When To Go
- Paris is best visited in the summer, when the weather is at its best and the Seine sparkles like a diamond necklace.
- In Spring (March to June), Paris starts to thaw from its dreary winter conditions, with daytime temperatures averaging a pleasant 20°C (68°F)
- Summer is between June and September. Expect temperatures of about 24°C (75°F) in the day.
- Autumn (September to December) is still pleasant. Daytime temperatures hover around 21°C (70°F)
- Winter (December to March) is bleak and occasionally snowy. Daytime temps are a decidedly chilly 7°C (45°F)
Getting There & Around
It's safe to say that all international flights will somehow lead to Paris (even if it's with a stopover in Frankfurt or some obscure city in Asia or Europe), especially since Paris has three international airports. Of course, if you're already in Europe you can take the train (the Gare du Nord is the station for the Eurostar train to London via the Channel Tunnel, with a convenient stop at Disneyland Paris on the way!) or even drive. But, Paris traffic is notoriously bad. The peripherique(the motorway that circles the city) is more like a car park and in the city drivers don't make allowances for out-of-towners (or road rules, for that matter).
Getting around Paris is confusing, but only because there are so many means of transportation available. Take a taxi (but only hail one at an official taxi station), dabble in the complex bus network, rent a bicycle or a pair of skates, take a river shuttle, or the underground train (Metro) with tickets from €1.70, rent a car, or walk!
What To Miss
Illegal cabs. Make sure you're taking the official taxis at taxi stations.
Watch out for pickpockets in crowded tourist-ridden areas.
The bars around Moulin Rouge – you could potentially pay up to €300 for a single drink at an adult show, so always check drink prices first.
Paris Information
One of the most exciting cities in Europe, Paris beckons with its flair for romance and grandeur. France's capital is truly a perfect representative of French culture, if you don't exactly have time to explore the countryside and other cities. Glitzy and glamorous streets are abuzz with life but don't forget those rickety alleys making Paris a fascinating maze of a city.
Paris presents many faces to each visitor. Artists revel in its theatres, museums, cultural expositions and architectural feats. Social butterflies flutter in and out of cafes, clubs and live for exciting nightly jaunts. What's best about Paris is the size, it's compact with much of the major attractions including the Eiffel Tower closely linked. In a city steeped in colourful history, discoveries are meant to be made in every corner! Paris is, without a doubt, one of the most visited cities in Europe, attracting millions of visitors each year - all intent on sampling Parisien culture, art and cuisine. The River Seine runs through Paris, giving Paris its Right and Left banks, and the city is divided into 20 arrondissements which run clockwise in a spiral from the centre of the city - starting at Notre Dame. Each arrondissement has its own particular character, artistic and bohemian, chic and upmarket - or smart and business like. Paris is a city with something to offer everyone - a capital 'city of light' which really does live up to the hype, which is why visitors return again and again.
Attractions At Paris
The Eiffel Tower is the city's claim to fame, the unmistakable landmark of Paris. At the centre runs the River Seine dividing Paris into two sections with twenty arrondissements or districts found on the left (Rive Gauche) and right (Rive Droite) banks. The dazzling historical buildings and boulevards, delightful epicurean fare , and the Parisiennes' penchant for haute couture! Visiting Paris in springtime is a great chance to see the gardens in full bloom and the atmosphere is bustling with concerts, street fairs and other outdoor events. In summer, the banks of Seine turn into mini-beaches with sunworshippers resting on lounging chairs enjoying the sun. There is much more to see in Paris apart from the Eiffel Tower. All roads meet at the grand Arc de Triomphe, the busiest point of the city. For those wanting the finest sampling of world's art, the d'Orsay and Louvre museums are a must! It is best to explore beyond the tourist path for you are likely to discover something within those charming streets, flea markets and cafes. There is a wealth of attractions on offer to visitors during a visit to Paris, and many will first head for the Eiffel Tower, perhaps the most iconic structure in the whole of France. The Eiffel Tower was built in 1898 for the Universal Exhibition, and a trip to the top takes you 324 metres up, from where unsurpassable views of France's capital are available. The Eiffel Tower is always busy so be prepared for a wait - especially in high season. Next on the must see on a trip to Paris list is a trip to the Louvre, the most famous art gallery in the world, and home to the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. The Palais du Louvre was rebuilt on a 13th Century fortress in the 16th Century to be used as a residence for the Royal family. After the revolution it became a national museum, in 1793. The Arc de Triomphe is a monument located at the centre of the Place de l'Etoile, erected in memory of French war victims, as well as providing a reminder of French victories on the battlefield. Les Invalides is a quarter of the French capital which features museums and monuments relating to military history too, and this is situated close by. An area known as Montmartre is also recommended a visit during a trip to Paris. Montmartre is located on a hill, and is famous for being the artistic centre of the capital, having been home to numerous renowned artists - Picasso, Van Gogh, Modigliani and Dali all had studios here. The French quarter has also been used as a film set for many films, because of its quaint cobbled streets leading to the spectacular Basilica the Sacre Coeur at the summit. The Paris metropolitan area is also home to one of the largest theme parks in Europe - Disneyland Resort Paris, which is located in Marne-la-Vallee. Plus, the magnificent Palace de Versailles - home to French kings and queens- should be visited during a trip to Paris. The Centre Pompidou is a fascinating piece of modernistic architecture, which never fails to delight visitors. First opened in 1977 the centre features more than 50,000 contemporary works of art in the Musee National d'Art Moderne which takes up the 4th and 5th floors- plus there is a huge public library housed within the building. Sainte Chapelle is another memorable attraction which is best visited when the sun is out, since this shows off its exquisite stained glass to its best effect. The chapel is situated inside the walls of the Palais de Justice - Law Courts - and is one of the most beautiful churches in Paris. Queues can be long so it pays to get here early - or late, if in winter.
Spring Fashion Week takes place in March, presenting designers with an opportunity to show their ready to wear, or 'Pret a Porter' collections to the world.
Sports fans will want to be in Paris in May for the French Tennis Open - a tournament which features the world's best tennis players who battle for the title on clay courts for two weeks.
The French national holiday is Bastille Day on the 14th July, a day which commemorates the storming of the Bastille at the time of the French Revolution. There are lots of spectacular events including the Bastille Parade which takes place at the Champs-Elysees. The Bastille Day Fireworks display is a real treat for visitors, with spectators gathering around the Champs du Mars - the gardens of the Eiffel Tower to watch.
The Cinema en Plein Air is an annual outdoor cinema festival which takes place at the Parc de la Villette, during July , and features Europe's biggest inflatable screen.
The Tour de France, the world's most famous cycling race has a varied route each year but always ends on the last Sunday in July at the Arc de Triomphe.
Leisure & Recreation
Paris is difficult to beat if you are after a night of culture - if opera is your thing then there is the Opera Bastille, which opened its doors in 1989, the Paris Opera and the Chatelet Theatre Musical de Paris, all of which show large scale operatic productions. The Cite de la Musique offers a varied programme of contemporary music including jazz, chansons and music from around the world. Classical music can be found at the Theatre de Champs-Elysee and the Theatre Musical de Paris, and for theatrical productions the Comedie Francaise and the Theatre National del la Colline are recommended.
Paris has long been at the forefront of fashion and is many shoppers' idea of heaven. All the top designers can be found here from Dior, Givenchy, and Jean Paul Gaultier who has his own store close to the Bastille. The eighth arrondissement features the avenue Champs-Elysees, avenue Montaigne and the Faubourg St Honore which all offer some of the most elegant designer boutiques in the world. For a less ostentatious shopping trip the main department stores are situated on Boulevard Haussmann, where Les Galeries and Au Printemps can be found.
Springtime in Paris has been long touted as the perfect time to visit, but in reality you are just as likely to get stuck in a shower at this time of year as any. Paris is located in the Ile de France region, which is prone to unpredictable weather, but the average yearly temperature is mild at just 12 o C. Winter temperatures are on average around 2 o C and in summer around 19 o C, however it is not unknown for temperatures to reach 30 o C and more during a particularly hot summer, or drop below freezing.
Getting There And Around
Paris is served by Charles de Gaulle international airport and d'Orly which both have good transport links into the centre of the city. Orly is 12 miles south of Paris and has two terminals, both of which operate a free shuttle service into Paris. Charles de Gaulle is 20 miles northeast of the city centre, in the suburb of Roissy and a free shuttle service links all three terminals with railway stations for transport into the city centre.
Getting around Paris is easy by metro which is fast and efficient and provides links between every part of Paris. The bus service is slow in comparison due to the traffic, and can be a little complicated to work out the various routes.

Money And Costs
French currency is the Euro which is divided into 100 cents and has seven different notes with denominations ranging from 5 to 500 - all of different sizes and colours. Visitors will find plenty of ATMs (known as DAB s or Distributeur Automatiqe de Billets) in Paris which take major credit cards - although there is usually a charge of around three Euros for withdrawing money. Money can be exchanged at post offices, banks and bureaux de change.
Under French law all restaurants, cafes and hotels must include a service charge which is usually between 12 and 14% of the bill. Taxi drivers will expect to be tipped though, and a figure of around 5% - 10% is usually the norm, while the fare is generally rounded up to the nearest euro.

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Members of the Maine Warden Service are planning to say goodbye to Major Gregg Sanborn.
He will be remembered during a service celebrating his life at the Maine Criminal Justice Academy on Saturday.
The Major passed away Tuesday after a yearlong battle with a rare form of Lymphoma. His passing did not go unnoticed as state leaders gathered Tuesday night for Governor LePage's State of the State address.
"I had the opportunity to meet him and you can't find a better Mainer, a better father, a better human being, so I ask you all for a moment of silence," Governor Paul LePage said at the start of his speech.
Whether it was leading a search for a missing child, cracking a poaching ring or urging snowmobilers to use caution, Major Sanborn appeared on the news many times over the past two decades carrying out his duties as a Maine Game Warden.
"Everybody understood Gregg Sanborn worked his way up through the ranks of Game Warden. From raw beginner right up to second in command of the Warden Service. I know everybody appreciated that fact," said Chandler Woodcock, Commissioner of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
A little more than a year ago he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and his long battle against it began. This past summer he found a potential life saving stem cell match. The transplant did not work out, but that process added more than one-thousand new people to the stem cell donor list. It's very possible someday one of those donors could save someone's life.
At just 47-years old Gregg Sanborn's life was cut short by cancer, but it was a life he lived doing what he loved. He called being a game Warden his dream job.
Gregg Sanborn leaves behind a wife and a son. Visiting hours are scheduled for Friday 4:00PM to 6:00PM and 7:00PM to 9:00PM at the Maine Criminal Justice Academy in Vassalboro. A celebration of his life will be held there Saturday morning at 11:00AM.

The Coaching Wire: Friday, March 8, 2013
[dropcap]A[/dropcap]s we reported yesterday, JaJuan Seider is the new running backs coach at West Virginia. Dana Holgorsen announced the hire via Twitter on Friday:
Welcome Home WVU grad JaJuan Seider as WVU RB Coach. The T.E.A.M. is finally ready for Sunday's Spring FB #1.

Georgia Tech's McCollum won't interview for Austin Peay job
Georgia Tech linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator Andy McCollum will not interview for the head coach vacancy at his alma mater, Austin Peay.
McCollum, the former head coach at Middle Tennessee State, released a statement through a Tech spokesman that he will not be interviewing and does not have interest in the position.
As we mentioned in Tuesday's Wire, McCollum was one of six interviewees listed in an Austin Peay media release. According to the release, McCollum was to interview on Monday.
There was speculation that Austin Peay would not able to meet McCollum's salary requirements. He earned $210,000 last year.
McCollum joined the Georgia Tech staff in 2010, first serving as recruiting coordinator and defensive line coach before moving to linebackers midway through the 2012 season when defensive coordinator Al Groh was dismissed.
At Austin Peay, Kirby Cannon, defensive backs coach at Central Michigan, and Granville Eastman, Austin Peay's interim head coach and the Governors' defensive coordinator since 2005, interviewed earlier this week.
Former Wisconsin offensive line coach Mike Markuson, Navy offensive coordinator Ashley Ingram and Wisconsin-Whitewater head coach Lance Leipold will interview next week.
In January, Rick Christophel stepped down as the Governors' head coach after six seasons to be tight ends coach for the Arizona Cardinals.
Copeland named running backs coach at Northern Illinois
Kelton Copeland, who spent the past two years as wide receivers coach at South Dakota, has joined the Northern Illinois staff as running backs coach.
Prior to South Dakota, Copeland spent five seasons on the coaching staff at Coffeyville Community College in Kansas, where he began as the secondary coach before moving to wide receivers for three seasons.
He was named offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Coffeyville in spring 2011 before taking the South Dakota in July. In 2006, he coached safeties and nickel backs at Division II Northwood (Mich.).
"We are really excited to have Kelton and his family on board," Huskies head coach Rod Carey said. "He is a great teacher of the game and a tireless worker in recruiting. He's a great fit for our staff and our NIU community."
A Miami, Fla. native, Copeland was a three-year starter at quarterback at Emporia State (Kan.).

VMWare should do the job, or any other hardware emulator.
Hi, As I mentioned in another thread, I am beginning to learn networking under Linux and Windows. Now I have a problem:
I just have one PC and it is a little difficult to learn Networking with one PC, I decided to use VM Ware software to simulate several computers.
Does anyone have a better idea?
This will be over soon, and then I can ...
VMWare should do the job, or any other hardware emulator.
My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive.

Lancaster House manager has just returned home after conquering the world's largest freestanding mountain, raising over £3,200 for a local children's charity in the process.
Tim Bell, General Manager of Lancaster House summited all 19,340ft of Africa's famous Kilimanjaro on 21st September after a gruelling final day involving almost 21 hours of walking.
Tim, along with fellow Lancaster House staff member Nichola-Jayne Harrison as well as Tim's paramedic sister Amanda Singleton, made the ascent in aid of North West charity Children Today.
Children Today is a North West based charity that raises funds to provide specialised life changing equipment for severely disabled children in the local area.
The ascent of Kilimanjaro is a gruelling physical challenge, with many people failing to reach the summit due to altitude sickness. Temperatures can range from 30c at the base to as low as –25c at the summit, and the team had to battle through a blizzard before finally reaching the summit.
Eight of the thirteen strong team who set off managed to complete the ascent, raising a total of over £15,000 between them. The five who didn't reach the summit due to the effects of altitude sickness had to agonisingly turn back only a few hundred feet from the top.
Staff from Lancaster House have been supporting Children Today with a range of fundraising events already this year, from washing cars to walking on hot coals.
Tim Bell, manager of Lancaster House says:
"No amount of training in the Lake District fells can prepare you for the effects of the altitude, and at its worst it feels like your brain's in a vice. It affects people differently regardless of physical fitness.
"The climb was physically and mentally exhausting but the trek was a truly life changing experience."
Donations can still be made at Tim Bell's and Nichola Harrison's Just Giving pages or by sending a cheque made payable to Children Today to Lancaster House directly.

MASSENA - Two white pine trees that should live to be 150 years old are helping brighten up the downtown corridor in Massena.
Michael V. Almasian and Crista M. Makdouli, who serve as co-chairs for the Blue and Green Committee as part of the Massena Downtown Coalition, bought and planted the trees this week with the help of Shawn K. Burke, president of Burke Excavation & Demolition, Inc., Massena, who provided a back hoe.
Theyre located on the Main Street frontage of Rite Aid in downtown Massena.
I bought one and Crista bought one. We just wanted to prime the pump and get the ball rolling. This is how downtown gets done, said Mr. Almasian, who formerly served as the executive director for the Business Development Corporation for a Greater Massena before relocating to Connecticut.
He said he still returns to Massena at least once a month. This is my fourth time back, he said.
The trees that now stand along Main Street are about 10 years old and stand around 12 feet tall.
Weve planted enough maples. Now its time for pine. We chose white pine because they last about 150 years and grow about 150 feet tall. Its the tallest pine in the east, Mr. Almasian said.
Theyll grow tall, but not block Rite Aid. As they grow, all you will see is the trunk, he said.
Rite Aid officials were receptive to the planting, according to Mr. Almasian.
We approached them, and it was all green lights, he said.
Mr. Almasian said that, as he began digging, he found gravel, rocks, boulders, wires and other items which kept him from digging deep enough to plant the trees. Thats where Mr. Burke entered the picture.
Crista saved my neck by calling Shawn. Shawn saved my neck, he said.
He said the Blue and Green Committee is responsible for landscaping, trees and water resources along Main Street from the Grasse River to the Raquette River.
Right now the current working definition of downtown is river to river, Mr. Almasian said.
Their next goal, he said, is to fix up a fountain in the Elm Street Circle park as they watch their new white pines grow skyward to beautify the downtown area.
The Massena Downtown Coalition is an all-volunteer effort initiated by the BDC and guided by In.Site Architecture, a firm that specializes in downtown revitalization projects.
Several committees, including the Blue and Green Committee, are working on different areas such as historic preservation designations to bringing back the downtown theater.
BDC Chairman Daniel S. Pease said he was appreciative of the efforts by Mr. Almasian, Ms. Makdouli and Mr. Burke.
I saw the trees. They look beautiful. Its an excellent first step for bringing the downtown back. Thats precisely the type of work that were hoping to continue going forward. Its a step in the right direction, Mr. Pease said.

Fit is snug and lock the foot in place very nicely. After a few races the sole is coming away a little bit, but nothing major and certainly not unexpected from a shoe this light. Worth buying for those special days when you need to be at your fastest."

SEIU is one of the most militant and greedy unions in the country, but unfortunately the present administration holds them close due to their political support and donations. How many families did they inconvenience yesterday and how many little kids' little hearts were broken because of their greed and utter disregard for the people who's taxes pay their wages?
By the way, no one walked off their job to take part in this obstruction. These were all union goons bussed in from other areas, issued T-shirts, and told to get in front of the cameras.
The union does not represent anyone at the airport.
Typical selfish union scum. They don't give a frigging thing about others. They don't care if they cost others time and money. The same <S>tupid and <E>xceptionally <I>diotic <U>informed jackasses staged a strike at the Port of Oakland. Did they care one bit that they were costing the truckers entering the port $500 a day or more? No. All they cared about was getting a free ride from the public. Heaven forbid they should actually pay a small bit for their own retirement!
Unions in the public sector need to go the way of the dodo bird - they need to become extinct!
What is strange, if I am reading that article right, is that they decertified the union almost a year ago
The company used to provide security for airlines, but lost that role to the TSA years ago. They now provide the wheelchair pushers. The company offered a better package to the employees than the union did. The employees voted the union out. Their choice.
The union simply wants the dues to line their pockets and press their political programs on the rest of society.
This same union is also involved in giving fake signatures to a petition to stabilize public pensions in Los Angeles. They are doing this to derail the ballot measure by spoiling the random sample count used by the election officials to certify the total signatures needed for the measure to be placed on the ballot.
The public officials that issued the SEIU a permit to shut down an airport access point should be criminally charged by the Attorney General for obstruction of air operations. Eric Holder, are you listening?
You mean Eric Holder as in Eric "I'm just as corrupt as Obama, Daley, and other Chicago City Officials" Holder?

We've all been there.
You think you're phone's turned off, or at least in silent mode, only to have your mariachi ringtone go off in the middle of a movie, a speech, or at work.
But unless you've been yelled at by Hugh Jackman, chastised by the President, or have otherwise had your mortification bandied about YouTube, it can't be as bad as these cellphone ringer fails.
Here we bring you the top 5 biggest cellphone interruptions ever caught on film. Some a cringe-inducing and awkward, while others are hilarious, but all pretty epic. Enjoy!
5. Alizé Cornet's tennis match interruption
In a tennis match against Caroline Wozniacki, Alizé Cornet's concentration is broken by a ringing phone as she prepares to serve. The kicker? It's her own!
4. Hugh Jackman freaks at ringing phone during live performance
During a live performance in a Broadway play, Hugh Jackman and a castmate are interrupted by a cellphone. Obviously annoyed, Jackman breaks character and calls out the rudeness off the offender. Oops!
3. Darren Criss' own phone halts live concert
It's always embarrassing to have your phone go off during a live concert, but just imagine how you'd feel if you were the one performing.
That's exactly what happens to Darren Criss in this video of him performing Katy Perry's Teenage Dream. Wait for Criss' reaction at 1:20.
2. Obama responds to "duck ringtone" interruption
It's Obama versus a duck in this one. While giving a televised speech, the President is distracted by a quacking cellphone, and his reaction is priceless:

1. Best ever response to a cellphone interruption.
This could very well be the best reaction a performer has ever given to a cellphone interruption.
The violinist in this video keeps his cool after being interrupted not once, but twice, by a pretty loud Nokia ringtone. Just watch it, we don't want to give away the rest.

So it's getting closer to that time of year that many people wait anxiously for and no we're not talking about your birthday. We are talking about Apple iPhone release time. Every year, this being the 3rd annual, since 2007 Apple has been releasing a new iPhone in June/July. This year is shapping up to be no different. So we thought what is the best way to celebrate then try to get all the rumours together
Well it turns out we didn't have to. Our friends at wired.com were already did it for us.
- 32GB and 16GB storage (up from the current 16GB and 8GB models)
- $199 and $299 price points to be maintained
- 3.2-megapixel camera (up from the current 2-megapixel camera)
- Video-recording and editing capabilities
- Ability to send a picture & video via MMS
- Discontinuation of the metal band surrounding the edge of the device
- OLED screen
- 1.5 times the battery life of the current models
- Double the RAM and processing power
- Built-in FM transmitter
- Apple logo on back will glow
- Rubber-tread backing
- Sleeker design
- Built-in compass
- The camera, GPS, compass and Google map combined will identify photo and inform about photo locations
- Turn-by-turn directions
Keep in mind the above are all rumours. Every year there are tons of rumours. So we have about another month or so until we find out official what is going to be done for the next Apple iPhone, but like everyone PureMobile is eagerly waiting.

Giro Athlon MTB HelmetIf your mountain bike riding style involves a timing chip and number plate, then you'll be relieved to know that Giro has developed a competition-specific bike helmet just for you. Compact shape, 23 Wind Tunnel vents, low-profile P.O.V. visor and the new Roc Loc 5 retention system maximize comfort, fit and performance on the race course.
- In-Mold construction reinforces the area around the vents and ribs, creating a one-piece exoskeleton, which allows the helmet to be lighter, more durable and better ventilated than traditional designs
- Roll Cage is a light-yet-tough web of reinforcement, invisibility molded inside the helmet's EPS foam liner for maximum impact protection, strength and integrity
- 23 Wind Tunnel vents with internal channels thrust cool, fresh air over and around your head while forcing heat and stale air out
- P.O.V. adjustable and removable visor protects your eyes from the sun, rain and other debris
- Quite possibly the best-fitting retention system you've ever experienced, the Roc Loc 5 easily adjusts both fit tension and vertical position with a single hand, plus it's 40% lighter than its popular predecessor, Roc Loc 4

Cumbrian woman, 20, turned to drink after alleged sex attack - inquest
Last updated at 11:19, Wednesday, 22 February 2012
A young woman described as a "bright young lady" died after turning to alcohol to try to cope with a traumatic event in her life, an inquest heard.
Laura Hanley, 20, of Parkside, Crosby near Maryport, was found dead in her home on August 17 last year by her father, Stephen.
A post mortem revealed she was five times over the drink drive limit for alcohol.
Coroner David Roberts heard that Miss Hanley, a former Netherhall School pupil, had been the victim of an alleged sexual assault which had been tried in court but the accused had been acquitted. She had told her mother in the months before her death that she was raped in the incident.
Mr Roberts said: "It is clear from the evidence I have heard that the incident had substantially effected Laura in terms of self-worth and overall demeanour and happiness.
"She started to abuse substances, in particular alcohol, and began binge drinking and would often not go out of the house for some time."
The inquest heard that since the court case Miss Hanley had been admitted to hospital several times due to overdoses and self-harm but that in the last couple of months before her death had begun to drink less.
She had also sought help in the form of rape and alcohol counselling.
However, Mr Hanley told the inquest that when she did drink she would drink large amounts in a short space of time. She also suffered with bulimia.
Miss Hanley, who had dreamt of a career in the police or probation service, lived with her mother, Kim Marie Martin, stepfather Andrew, brother Lee and sister Shannon.
On the morning of her death they had left for a trip to Blackpool for the weekend.
Mrs Martin said: "She had been absolutely fine and I felt I could leave her. She had been talking about going back to college."
Mrs Martin added: "I think she lost a lot of self-worth with what happened to her when she was assaulted.
"I think a lot of it was a cry for help more than anything and drinking sort of blotted out what had happened.
"In the last few months she was doing really well, she was keeping appointments and getting help through Rape Crisis that she had been referred to through the probation service."
On the day she died Miss Hanley had also spoken to a neighbour and a distant relative who both said she seemed happy and in good spirits.
The inquest was told that the cause of death was aspiration of stomach contents caused by alcohol toxicity.
Mr Roberts said that there was no evidence to suggest she had the intention of ending her life through the alcohol consumption and a formal verdict of death by misadventure was recorded.

ODOT@100: 'Roads in Oregon were simply improved paths'
Watch KPIC News at 6 on Tuesday for more on this story
EUGENE, Ore. - The first horseless carriage arrived in Oregon in 1899.
Early motorists shared the dirt roads with horse-drawn buggies and pack animals.
"Essentially most of the roads in Oregon were simply improved paths," said Chris Bell, Oregon Department of Transportation historian. "In some cases they just dropped down logs, which is the term 'corduroy' roads."
So in 1913, out of the mud came the Oregon State Highway Department, later renamed ODOT in 1969.
Road building didn't pick up steam until another Oregon first in 1919: the gas tax. At 1 cent per gallon, Oregon was the first state in the United States to tax fuel. The tax caught on nationwide.
The tax revenue funded construction of the Pacific Highway, completed in 1926 and later named Highway 99.
Roads spread across the rugged Oregon landscape, spanning rivers and bays with bridges designed by Oregon's master builder, Conde McCullough.
"He was essentially the Frank Lloyd Wright of bridge building," Bell said. "He understood the design. He also understood engineering."
McCullogh's masterpieces along the Pacific Coast Highway 101 still stand 75 years later.
Construction of Interstate 5 got going in the 1950s. Finished in 1966, the interstate cost $300 million.
Warren Neer remembers it well.
"We used machetes and brush hooks," said Neer, a retired ODOT surveyor. "We didn't have chain saws in those days."
The surveyors used machetes to clear the riverbank brush as crews built the original I-5 bridge across the Willamette River.
"I can not believe that that bridge needed replaced," Neer said.
ODOT also played a role in Lane County's network of covered bridges, the most in any U.S. county west of the Mississippi River.
The county used housing designs for all the bridges, furnished by ODOT.
In a century, ODOT has had its share of troubles.
Like the dead whale on a beach near Florence. It fell to the transportation department to remove it - and dynamite didn't exactly do the trick.
But the agency that got Oregon out of the mud is continuing to carry transportation into the future with an extensive network of electric car charging stations.

POTSDAM Officials moved into the new town hall at 18 Elm St. on Monday after months of construction and nearly a year working in a temporary location.
There have been a few difficulties in the last few days. The phones have not been hooked up yet, and it was discovered that the flooring tiles were faulty and will have to be replaced in the coming weeks because they keep coming loose.
Other than that, were open for business, Town Supervisor Marie C. Regan said.
Town Highway Department workers moved all of the furniture from the temporary location at 12 Elm St. last week.
The building gives officials more than double the space they had at the old town hall, according to Mrs. Regan. The basement is mostly empty, apart from a room dedicated to records storage, and the rest could be renovated to house more offices if needed.
Downstairs theres room for growth, Mrs. Regan said.
The hall also includes a break room for employees, a first for the town, and a public kitchen next to a meeting room that can be rented for community events.
The $1.3 million construction was funded through the towns capital fund, with money raised through a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement with Brookfield Renewable Power.
Its all paid for, Ms. Regan said.
The project initially came under fire from various groups, including those who wanted to preserve the historic original town hall at 35 Market St. and those who felt the project was a waste of money. An early plan for a new town hall, which would have been funded with taxpayer money, was voted down in a 2008 referendum.
The former hall at 35 Market St. is undergoing renovations and will reopen as the town court on Friday.
The site was renovated extensively to provide more space for court offices, modernize the facilities, install an elevator and remove asbestos found during the renovations. The project was delayed when oil-contaminated soil was discovered in the basement.
The renovated court also has room for village court offices to share the space with the town, but it is unknown whether the village will pay rent and utilities to use the new space, instead of continuing to meet in the Potsdam Municipal Building.

Spectro HydraCare Facial Moisturizer, Blemish-Prone Skin
Other than a tiny amount (less than 1%) of salicylic acid, this moisturizer has nothing to do with blemish-prone skin.
Test Product Name
This water-soluble cleanser is similar to the other Spectro Jel cleansers, except this one contains fragrance (listed as parfum).
Spectro At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; several fragrance-free products; good anti-acne products with benzoyl peroxide; a moisturizer for eczema that contains a potent topical corticosteroid.
Weaknesses: Lackluster moisturizers, including those aimed at combating eczema; no sunscreens; no exfoliants; no options for oily skin; incomplete options for acne-prone skin; repetitive, boring formulas.
While fragrance-free is always a plus (there are far too many overly fragranced skin-care products at every cosmetics retail outlet), what's truly disappointing is that Spectro products are also free of lots of things that are good for your skin. For example, there are no sunscreens or exfoliants and no moisturizers that contain a broad range of state-of-the-art ingredients, and there are limited options for those struggling with acne. For the most part, these are lackluster, antiquated formulas and, occasionally, really bad formulas. Spectro doesn't seem to have kept abreast of the abundant research about skin for at least a decade.
Spectro is best known for their cleansers, though none of them are standouts or particularly well-formulated given today's standards of excellence. Yes, it's great that all of Spectro's cleansers are mild and water-soluble; what's not so great is that none of them clean skin thoroughly or remove makeup very well, especially the modern makeup enhanced with silicones or other long-wearing ingredients. The amount of cleansing agent each of them contains is minimal, so those concerned with excess facial oil will find their skin requires much more and never really feels clean. If companies like Clean & Clear, Neutrogena, Paula's Choice, and Olay can formulate such cleansers, Spectro can (or at least should), too.
The chief reasons to consider this line are because it's inexpensive and, if you suffer from eczema, Spectro offers a moisturizer whose active ingredient is a reliable corticosteroid, the mainstay treatment for most forms of eczema (though it's not without its drawbacks). Otherwise, even if you're looking to save money, there isn't a compelling reason to shop this line. There are plenty of beautifully formulated products available that make settling for just average formulations unnecessary. Besides, whether you're enduring eczema, acne, or other skin conditions, your skin deserves outstanding, not ordinary!
