Celebrate National Collector Car Appreciation Day with Hemmings
It's the height of the automotive season and what better thing to celebrate than America's rich car heritage and collector-car hobby? For the third year in a row, SEMA Action Network (SAN) has been able to acquire federal recognition for National Collector Car Appreciation Day. The day, made official in Senate Resolution 452, cosponsored by Senators Jon Tester and Richard Burr, recognizes that "the collection and restoration of historic and classic cars is an important part of preserving the technological achievements and cultural heritage of the United States." Now an annual event, this year's National Collector Car Appreciation Day will take place this Friday, July 13. The day celebrates all facets of the collector-car hobby and encourages hundreds of events throughout the United States. If you're Canadian, don't feel left out, the day has been officially recognized by two Canadian provinces, as well – Prince Edward Island and Manitoba.
With the day honoring pretty much everything Hemmings stands for, we will once again celebrate with not one, but two events. Next week's Hemmings Cruise-In, located at Hemmings intergalactic headquarters in Bennington, Vermont, has been moved from Thursday to Friday in conjunction with the day. Hemmings has also re-partnered with American Collectors Insurance to host another event the same day at American Collectors Insurance's headquarters in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, featuring Corvettes from every decade as well as a replica of the Back to the Future De Lorean. Space at this event is limited, however, so RSVP here. If you live too far away from either of these two locations, don't fret, there are more than 100 officially recognized events in 38 states as well as one in Manitoba. For more information about the day as well as a full listing of all participating events, visit SEMASAN.com.
Cross-country road warriors cross paths at Hemmings cruise night
Rick Wible of Bend, Oregon, said he's already seen much of the Western United States through the windshield of his 1963 Chevrolet C30 panel truck. He bought it for use as a daily driver some 25 years ago and, save for some windows and add-ons, it remains original, down to the two-tone paint and 283/four-speed drivetrain. This year he decided it was high time he saw the other side of the country, so he made the trip Back East late last month and decided to kick off his tour of the Northeast here at the June 28 cruise night at Hemmings World Headquarters in Bennington, Vermont.
Rather than stick to a strict itinerary, though, Rick and his traveling companion Amy travel according to their own schedule. "We just play it by ear," he said. With a bed, cooler, camp stove and all the other necessities for life on the road in the back of the panel, they have no need for hotels and stop wherever they feel, usually in a state park or just on the side of the road. "Normally we'll pack bicycles on the roof rack, which lets us park the truck and really explore the towns we're visiting."
One would assume the 4.11 gears in the rear axle make for laborious road trip driving, but Rick actually prefers it that way. "Driving something old like this, nobody expects us to go fast, so we take our time, and that allows us to see the countryside," he said. "But it'll still go over the mountain at 50 MPH." The panel truck has also proven reliable for Rick, with only one failed starter in all his time on the road with it.
Rick plans to take in all of the Northeast plus the Canadian maritime provinces over the next few weeks.
At the same cruise night we also spoke briefly with Roger Palmer of West Palm Beach, Florida. Roger decided recently that he'd had enough of dreaming about driving cross country in his 1966 Ford Mustang, so on June 21 he gassed and packed up and set out on his road trip of a lifetime. Within three days he made it to Bar Harbor, Maine, then he made sure to stop by Hemmings as he headed west from there, planning to meet up with Route 66 in St. Louis on the Fourth of July before following the Mother Road west to Santa Monica, California. He's given himself the rest of the month to meander back to Florida in his Mustang, fitted with a carburetor-converted late 1980s Ford 5.0L V-8.
Should you see either of these road warriors out there, make sure to say hi.
Hitting Redline returns to the Hemmings cruise night
We enjoyed David Rose's take on one of the earlier Hemmings cruise nights, so we were excited to see him filming again at our June 28 cruise night for his HittingRedline.com. Let us know what you think of his videos, and for still shots of the same cruise night, hit us up on Facebook and keep an eye out for coverage of the award winners in an upcoming issue of Hemmings Motor News.
Drive Away Cancer Austin-Healey to stop at Hemmings Motor News

Since highlighting the story of John Nikas and Grace, the 1953 Austin-Healey that John is driving across the country in the Drive Away Cancer effort, we've kept in touch with John and recently confirmed that he should be swinging through Bennington, Vermont, shortly, in time to catch this week's cruise night at the Hemmings headquarters. So if you're in the area and would like to meet John and leave a message on grace's flanks for a loved one with cancer, stop on by.
A video take on the Hemmings cruise night
At our cruise night last week, we noticed David Rose of HittingRedline.com filming while we wandered the parking lot. We've seen his work before, so we were interested in what he'd come up with after spending some time with some of the best cruise night crowd around. Check it out below.
For more cruise night photos, hit up our gallery on Facebook or keep an eye out for coverage and award winners in an upcoming issue of Hemmings Motor News.
Hemmings introduces badges for cruise night winners
Attending the Hemmings cruise nights just got more meaningful. Starting with last night's cruise night, instead of getting a trophy for your showcase, you will be able to proudly show the world that your car won at Hemmings when you install this beautiful cloisonné badge on your car's grille.
Each badge is painstakingly crafted by hand especially for the Hemmings cruise night winners. These highly coveted badges are not available for sale, and are extremely limited in production, with just a few badges being made each year; they can only be had by having your car selected by the Hemmings editors at one of our fun-filled summer cruise-ins.
So bring your collector car or truck to one our cruise-ins and maybe you, too, will win! The remaining cruise night dates are: May 31, June 14, June 28, July 13, July 26, August 9, and August 23.
And for photos from our first cruise night, head over to our Facebook page.
From Borneo to Bennington, a Ferret's travels
One of the more unusual vehicles to show up at our cruise night last week was the 1960 Daimler Ferret that Andrew Shedden brought over from Brunswick, New York, and used to claim the Favorite Truck award. As you can see, Andrew spent most of the evening not just explaining what it was, but also giving kids a chance to check it out up close. Andrew shot us an email recently with a little more on his Ferret:
My ferret is a mk 2/3 FV701H which is one of several variations with upgraded armor and a turret with a 30 cal light machine gun. The transmission is a preselector "fluid flywheel" with 5 speeds forward and reverse. Top speed is 55 mph forward OR reverse. The engine is a Rolls Royce B60 6 cylinder water cooled engine with a swept volume of 4.26L. This produces 129bhp @3750rpm. (approx 35 hp per ton) Vehicle weight is approximately 8600lbs. Crew of 2. (driver and commander)
My vehicle records show it was in use in combat in Borneo in 1964 with the Queens Royal Irish Hussars. Later it was used with peacekeeping forces in Northern Ireland. The bw photo shows my vehicle in Borneo in 1964 (mine is the vehicle in the rear).
I have owned the vehicle for about 3 years. Since then I have repainted the exterior. Added many pieces of original equipment (grenade boxes, fire extinguisher brackets, Browning 30 cal machine gun (dummy), bullet proof vision blocks (splinter screens), clansman intercom headset/ helmets to name a few. I replaced the original tires with new.) I replaced the original points ignition system with a magnetic electronic system. The original ignition system failed. I also installed a battery disconnect switch.
It is a lot of fun to drive!
Perhaps we need to arrange a road test to see just how much fun it is to drive…
Starry night at the drive-in
A few dozen car enthusiasts braved the threat of rain to watch Cars 2 and Two Lane Blacktop at Hemmings Motor News's night at the drive-in last Friday.
But little did most attendees realize there was a live four-wheeled movie star lying low in the back of the lot.
Patrick and Janice Kane's 1966 Chevrolet El Camino was featured in the Ang Lee-directed film Taking Woodstock, which was filmed at points all around Upstate New York, including Hillsdale, Millerton, Schodack, Stephentown and New Lebanon.
The film, unfortunately, wasn't about a 1966 El Camino, so I had little to no interest in seeing it. The Kanes told me, however, that their car was pictured a couple of times, but otherwise, Taking Woodstock was one of the worst movies they'd ever seen.
The Elky took our Favorite Truck trophy, and little did we realize when we went to confront the Kanes with news of the award that we were in the presence of a star… okay, an extra, actually, but in North Hoosick, that qualifies.
The El Camino is quite clean and powered by a 327 that Kane swapped in along with a TH350 in place of the 283 Powerglide combo. He told us the movie people paid him $500 a day to borrow the El Camino and that he was on the set for several days, just hanging out.
Nice people, as it turns out, and a cool car with an interesting history. It goes to show you, you never know what you'll find out when you strike up a conversation at a car show.
Celebrate National Collector Car Appreciation Day with Hemmings
The second annual National Collector Car Appreciation Day is coming up soon, and Hemmings has two opportunities for you to come celebrate with us.
First, if you haven't yet seen Cars 2, save that viewing for the next Hemmings Cruise-In, scheduled to take place July 8 at Hathaway's Drive-In Theatre in nearby North Hoosick, New York. Gates will open at 3 p.m., and when dusk falls, we'll be treated to screenings of Pixar's latest as well as of Two-Lane Blacktop. For more information, see our cruise-ins page.
Second, we'll be partnering with American Collectors Insurance for a show and bash down at their headquarters in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The festivities there will start at 4 p.m., and because space is limited, we suggest you RSVP if you plan to attend.
If you don't live close enough to attend either of these two events, there are still plenty of other shows, cruise nights and events taking place that weekend across the country. SEMA has a thorough listing of those events. And if you happen to see either Senator Jon Tester of Montana or Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina, the two men who sponsored the legislation that designates July 8, 2011, as National Collector Car Appreciation Day, make sure to let them know how much you appreciate the hard work they're doing for automotive hobbyists in Washington.
Honda CBX Turbo Six Reborn
The schism regarding turbocharged motorcycles is clear. One side maintains that adding the weight and complexity of a turbocharger to a motorcycle is the worst idea ever. Others believe the combination of Eighties motorcycle technology, TURBO spelled out in sci-fi typefaces, and an unpredictable power curve is the greatest idea ever. This heretofore unseen combination of an inline six-cylinder Honda CBX and period-correct aftermarket turbo system trumps both arguments, without possibility of challenge from either side.
The original owner of the CBX installed the turbo system and lengthened the swingarm onto the CBX, drag racing up to the point where things at 10 pounds of boost got too hairy for comfort. The CBX was parked until resurrected as shown. Current owner and rider Joe Mintrone rolled this beast to the first Hemmings Cruise-In of 2011. While there is as yet no turbocharged inline six-cylinder Japanese motorcycle award, we thank Joe for showing up with this turbocharged time machine.

Several Badgers lost their hair on Thursday in the hope of helping gain awareness for the patients battling childhood cancer at the American Family Children's Hospital.
Eight members of the UW football team put their hair in the hands of patients from the children's hospital, losing their locks in the name of advancing a cure for cancer.
In just over an hour's time, LB Ethan Armstrong, WR Lance Baretz, OL Kyle Costigan, WR Connor Cummins, OL Ryan Groy, WR Chase Hammond, LB Conor O'Neill and TE Jacob Pedersen all walked out of the locker room with new close-cropped cuts.
Here's a look at how the event -- and the hair -- went down:

- How to Read a Study Record
This study is being done to learn more about platelet reactivity (how well the small cells in the bloodstream work) in people who undergo Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for stable and unstable (acute myocardial infarction) indications. Stable means you have not demonstrated any acute injury to your heart prior to your PCI; unstable means you have demonstrated some acute injury to your heart prior to your PCI. The investigators intend to determine if there is a change in platelet reactivity from the time of PCI to 30days post-PCI and does this change differ depending upon the conduction in which you present for PCI. This is going to be done with a variety of platelet reactivity assays.
Acute Myocardial Infarction
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Platelet Function Monitoring in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction
- Platelet function [ Time Frame: 30 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The primary endpoint will be whether the results of platelet function assays used to measure response to clopidogrel and prasugrel therapy is similar amongst patients with stable CAD and those with AMI undergoing PCI. On-treatment platelet reactivity will be measured using the VerifyNow P2Y12 assay.
- On-treatment platelet reactivity [ Time Frame: 30 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
A secondary endpoint will be to determine on-treatment platelet reactivity at the same time points using:
- The vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) phosphorylation assay; and/or
- The Chrono-Log Lumi-Aggregometer, which measures platelet aggregation (via optical density or electrical impedance) in response to ADP stimulation.

Specific graduation requirements for the major and minor in mathematics.
The mathematics major is designed to meet
the needs of students with a wide variety of interests. All students
majoring in mathematics start with a basic core of required mathematics
courses. The student then builds on this foundation with a
selection of five upper-division courses, chosen from one of three
options. Students in the Teachers Option choose courses that meet
the requirements for state certification in mathematics. In the Applied Mathematics and Pure Mathematics options, students get a measure of depth by taking two year-long
sequences in mathematics.
Options for upper
division courses:
student must pass at
least five additional upper-division mathematics courses to complete the major under the guidelines of the Applied Mathematics option, the Pure Mathematics option, or the Teachers Option, described below. A GPA of 2.00 ("C" average) or
higher is required in upper-division mathematics courses counting
toward the major. The upper-division courses are built around
year-long sequences of courses in five areas of mathematics:
The Applied Mathematics option requires any two of the five year-long sequences listed above, plus a fifth upper-division mathematics course beyond the core
mathematics requirement. This option is appropriate for students planning on
careers in industry, government agencies, actuarial sciences, etc. The student's career ambitions should guide the selection of year-long sequences. For example, a career as an actuary will require expertise in probability and
statistics; a career as an applied mathematician, differential equations.
The Pure Mathematics option requires the two year-long sequences beginning with Introduction to Abstract Algebra and Introduction to Analysis, plus a fifth upper-division mathematics course beyond the core
mathematics requirement. This option is appropriate for students who intend to
go on to graduate school in mathematics, or who plan careers in cryptography, computer science, teaching, etc.
The Teachers Option requires the following courses, which satisfy requirements for teacher certification.
or MATH 4210 - Real Analysis (old nr: Math 421)
There are three options for students minoring in mathematics: the traditional Mathematics Minor, the Engineering Mathematics Minor, and the Actuarial Mathematics Minor.
Students seeking a minor in Engineering Mathematics must complete the three semesters of calculus and also complete four upper-division courses in subjects of importance to engineers, which include:
Other upper-division mathematics courses may fulfill the course requirement for the Engineering Mathematics Minor, subject to approval by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. Students must meet the prerequisites for all courses selected.

and additional requirements for specific degrees will be found in the
appropriate departmental sections. It is the graduate student's
responsibility to become fully acquainted with regulations and
requirements of the university, the college and the department in which
the student plans to pursue a course of study.
Admission to Candidacy
While admission to a graduate program allows students to take graduate courses, a student does not become a candidate for the graduate degree until an application for candidacy has been completed and is on file in Graduate Admissions. Each student is responsible for initiating this form after completing nine hours of graduate work at Murray State University with a minimum grade point average of 3.0. A student is recommended for admission to candidacy by the student's departmental graduate advisor and the graduate coordinator of the college in which the student is a major.
Admission to candidacy forms are available in Graduate Admissions.
Course Load
MSU recognized nine hours of courses for credit is a full-time load for graduate students. Students with graduate assistantships may be considered full-time when enrolled for six hours of graduate credit. Students with federal loans should refer to the Federal Loan Agency's definition of a full-time load, which may vary from the MSU definition. The maximum graduate course load, including any undergraduate course work or deficiency, may not exceed 12 hours during the fall or spring semesters. For each five-week summer term, six-seven hours of coursework constitutes a maximum load. Students with graduate assistantships should refer to the sections below.
•Overload Exceptions
If an course overload exception is to be made in any individual instance, a graduate student must have a cumulative GPA of no less than 3.0. Permission to exceed the credit hour limit can be granted only by the collegiate graduate coordinator and dean of the college in which the student is a major. A Graduate Course Overload form, located on-line or in the dean's office, must be completed by the student and signed by the dean to authorize exceptions. Under no circumstances will an overload exception be granted to a student who does not have a cumulative 3.0 GPA. Graduate students petitioning to take more than 16 hours in any semester must have approval of the dean, the collegiate graduate coordinator, and the university graduate coordinator in the Office of the Provost/Academic Affairs.
Graduate Assistantships
Graduate teaching and research assistantships are available in most departments for highly qualified graduate students.
Non-resident graduate students awarded an assistantship may be charged the equivalent of in-state tuition during the semesters in which they are actively employed. In-state tuition equivalencies do not modify residency status. A student who has, or will have an approved graduate assistantship may request an in-state equivalency for one summer during his/her graduate career. Assistantships may only be awarded to an individual student for a maximum of four semesters (excluding summers). Stipends for assistantships may vary between departments.
Graduate assistants are expected to familiarize themselves with university policies and to fulfill their professional responsibilities to the university. An applicant for a graduate assistantship must be admitted to a graduate program as a degree-seeking student and enrolled in graduate courses during the semester of employment. Course load requirements for graduate assistants are described below.
Applications for assistantships should be filed with the chair of the department of the student's major field of interest no later than May 1, prior to fall enrollment; October 1, prior to spring enrollment; and March 1, prior to summer sessions.
•Assistantship Grade Point Average Requirements
A graduate student who has been admitted conditionally will become eligible for consideration for a graduate assistantship upon completion of nine hours of graduate coursework with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0. Exceptions may be made for one semester only in cases of assistantships in academic departments when an otherwise ineligible student has required expertise. In such cases, this rule may be waived upon petition by the student, with approval by the departmental chair, the collegiate dean, and the university graduate coordinator.
•Graduate Assistant Course Load
To be eligible for an assistantship, students must be admitted to graduate program at MSU, have earned a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0, and be enrolled in a minimum of six graduate hours. Graduate students in their final semester of coursework may petition (in writing) the University Graduate Coordinator to qualify for an assistantship while enrolled in fewer than six graduate hours. Non-resident graduate assistants seeking the in-state tuition equivalency must be enrolled in a minimum of six hours of graduate coursework (during fall and spring semesters) and working a minimum of 15 (but not more than 22) hours per week. During the summer sessions, students must be enrolled for a minimum of three hours of coursework in any summer session in which they receive a graduate assistantship.
To maximize academic success, graduate assistants should not carry a course load exceeding 12 hours (or 13 hours if the student is taking a 4-credit hour course). Combined, a graduate assistant's course load and adjusted workload should not exceed 15 hours per semester. See the information below for calculating combined load:
Non-Teaching Graduate Assistantship (GA)
Adjusted Workload + Graduate Credit Hours < 15 hours
(Adjusted workload is calculated as follows: each five clock hours of work per week = one hour of adjusted workload. Example: student is working 20 clock hours per week and enrolled in 6 credit hours. 4 + 6 < 15.)
Graduate Teaching Assistantship (GTA)
Teaching Credit Hours + Graduate Credit Hours < 15.
(Example: Student is teaching one 3-credit hour course and is enrolled in 12 hours. 3 + 12 < 15.)
If a course overload exception is to be made in any individual instance, the graduate assistant must have a cumulative GPA of no less than 3.0. A Graduate Course Overload form, available on-line, must be completed by the student and signed by the appropriate authorizing parties. Graduate Assistants petitioning to take more than a combined class and workload of 16 hours in any semester must have approval of the dean, the collegiate graduate coordinator, and the university graduate coordinator in the Office of the Provost.
Course Levels
Courses at the 500 level are restricted to graduate students and to undergraduates with at least junior standing. Exceptions to this regulation must be approved in writing by the appropriate collegiate dean and the Provost. A graduate student enrolled in a 500 level course will be required to do substantially more work than an undergraduate student in the same course. This requirement, which shall be clearly specified in the course syllabus, may take the form of research or other work appropriate to the discipline.
Courses numbered 500 and above taken while enrolled as a graduate student may be counted for credit toward a master's degree if they are approved as part of the student's graduate program. Students desiring graduate credit for 500-level classes must be admitted to graduate studies prior to scheduling any 500-level course. Under no circumstances will 500-level courses apply to a graduate degree if taken while the student is classified as a post-baccalaureate or undergraduate student.
Courses numbered 600 or above are open only to graduate students. In all master's programs, at least half of the total formal coursework, EXCLUDING THESIS, PRACTICUM, INTERNSHIP, or CO-OP CREDIT, must be in courses open only to graduate students (600-level).
Grading System
The following system of grades is used for the evaluation of course work:
A exceptionally high quality, valued at four points for each credit;
B good, valued at three points for each credit;
C accepted for graduate credit (see overall GPA policies), valued at two points for each credit;
D not accepted for graduate credit;
E failure, no credit, valued at no points but counted as hours attempted;
P pass, credit valued at no points and no hours attempted;
AU audit, no credit;
I incomplete, computed as hours attempted and no quality points;
X absent from examination, computed as hours attempted and no quality points;
W withdrawal, no hours attempted and no quality points;
WP withdrawal passing, no hours attempted and no quality points;
WE withdrawal failing, computed as hours attempted and no quality points;
R A grade to be used in restricted approved instances in specific approved courses to denote either completion of a course for which credit is deferred until additional course work is completed, or that the course must be repeated. This grade may be given for courses numbered 698, 699, 798, and 799. It will change to a grade of I (or an E at the department's discretion) if work has not been completed within two years from the time the R grade is given.
A grade of I (incomplete) means that some relatively small part of the semester's work remains undone because of sickness or other reason satisfactory to the instructor. This work must be completed during the next semester or summer session in which the student enrolls in the graduate program if credit for the course is to be gained. If these conditions are not met, the grade automatically becomes a failing grade. This procedure is not applicable to incompletes recorded for individual study such as special problems, practicum, research or thesis.
A grade of X must be changed by special examination within one month (two weeks during the summer term) after the student enrolls in the graduate program if credit for the course is to be gained.
Changes in grades (other than an I or X) must be processed before the end of the semester following the semester in which the grade was recorded. Grade changes will not be allowed after a degree is conferred.
A student who fails to return within one year forfeits the privilege of making up work or taking examinations to earn credit for courses in which a grade of I or X was received.
Grade Point Average Requirement
A candidate for a master's degree or a specialist in education degree must have a minimum grade point average of 3.0 in all the approved program graduate courses before the degree is conferred. No credit shall be granted for a grade below C. Transfer courses do not count in the grade point average.
A graduate course repeated does not remove the original grade received in the course. In calculating grade point averages, a repeated course shall be considered an additional course.
Grade Change Policy
Grades are recorded in the Registrar's Office as reported by the faculty at the end of each term. No grade filed in that office may be changed except upon a written statement signed by the instructor certifying an error has been made.
When an error is made in reporting a grade, the instructor may make the necessary change in the Registrar's Office within the next regular semester following the recording of the grade. A grade will not be changed after a degree is conferred.
The policy concerning the changing of X and I grades is addressed above.
Grade Appeals Policy
Murray State University recognizes that differences of opinion or interpretation may arise between students and faculty members regarding the assignment of course grades. The university urges students first to seek resolution through informal discussion with the appropriate faculty member. The following policy has been adopted as a formal avenue for the resolution of a student grievance or appeal, in the event that such differences cannot be resolved informally. The university recognizes the right of students to present a grievance to an established committee and to have that grievance considered on its merit through an expeditious and orderly process. Situations involving academic misconduct should be directed to the University Judicial Board.
Complainant: one who files a grievance, complaint or appeal within the scope of this policy.
Respondent: one against whom a grievance is filed.
Days: counted when classes or exams are scheduled, excluding weekends.
Faculty: all persons, whether full or part-time, who are responsible for, assist in, or administer the instructional program. (See Section 2.1 of the Faculty Handbook for a complete definition.)
Grievance: a written allegation or complaint that there has been a violation, misinterpretation, or improper application of existing policies, rules, regulations, practices, and/or procedures which a student believes to be unfair, inequitable, or a hindrance to his/her effective performance.
A grievance procedure must be initiated within the first twenty (20) days of the semester immediately following the semester or term during which the incident of grievance is alleged to have occurred, exclusive of summer session. Any special circumstance or request involving the time limitation set forth above will be considered and evaluated by the appropriate academic dean. Documentation of any revision of the time limitation will be included in the grade appeals form.
A faculty member has the responsibility to retain all course material and/or records not left in the student's possession which contribute to the final course grade. These materials must be kept for the 20-day period of the following semester during which a student may appeal a grade, or in the event of an appeal, until conclusion of the appeal process.
Step 1. Before a formal grievance may be filed with the Academic Appeals Board, the complainant should first seek resolution with the instructor. In the event that the instructor is a teaching assistant, the faculty supervisor should also be present during these discussions.
Step 2. Students should check with the department advisor to determine whether or not there are collegiate grievance procedures.
Step 3. Should the matter not be resolved to the satisfaction of the complainant, discussion should be sought with the appropriate department chair. In the event that the chair is the respondent of the grievance, discussion will be held with the academic dean.
Step 4. Should the discussions as outlined in Steps 1 and 2 not prove satisfactory to the complainant, discussion should be sought with the appropriate academic dean, if the dean has not been previously consulted.
Step 5. Once all means of resolution on the collegiate level have been exhausted, the complainant should present a completed grade appeals form to the registrar (Registrar's Office) within fifteen (15) days of the collegiate decision. Grade appeals forms are available in the registrar's office and in the office of each collegiate dean.
Step 6. The registrar shall immediately forward the grade appeals form to the chair of the Academic Appeals Board who in turn will notify the faculty member/respondent that a formal grievance has been filed. The faculty member/respondent will be provided a copy of the completed grade appeals form.
Step 7. The chair of the Academic Appeals Board shall convene that committee within twenty (20) days of the receipt of the grade appeals form. (The Academic Appeals Board is defined in Section 220.127.116.11. of the Faculty Handbook.) Prior to the hearing, both complainant and respondent may elect to choose an advisor for the purposes of collecting data and/or presenting his/her position to the board. Complainant and respondent have the right to be accompanied by their advisors during any open meeting of the board at which the board's agenda includes that particular grievance. The board holds the prerogative to call for pertinent testimony from any party involved in the grievance, or any party whom the board believes could clarify the grievance.
Step 8. The written recommendation of the Academic Appeals Board shall be forwarded to the provost for final disposition. Copies of the recommendation shall also be sent to the appropriate academic dean, the complainant, and the respondent, within ten (10) days of the completion of the hearing, unless an extension of time is sought by the board. Telephone notification to the complainant of the availability of the recommendation shall fulfill the terms of this requirement. The text of the recommendation and all pertinent testimony and gathered data shall be kept in confidence.
NOTE: If at any point in this process, the student alleges that actions have taken place that may be in violation of Murray State University Non-Discrimination Policies, this process must be suspended and the matter directed to the Office of Equal Opportunity.
Transfer Credit
A maximum of 12 graduate hours may be transferred from a regionally accredited graduate school after a student has been admitted to candidacy. All transfer credit must be approved by the student's advisor and collegiate graduate coordinator. Departments and colleges may set more restrictive policies concerning the kind and amount of transfer hours they will accept. All transfer credit must have been earned within the eight-year period allowed for the degree. The student must have an overall GPA of at least 3.00 on graduate work at Murray State University and a grade of B or better in any course that the student wishes to transfer to Murray State. It is the responsibility of the student to initiate a request for transfer of credit. Graduate transfer credit will not be posted to the student's transcript or included in the calculation of the student's GPA until the point of graduation.
•Transfer Credit to Repeat MSU Courses
If a graduate student takes a course at Murray State and chooses to repeat that course at another institution, permission from the student's graduate advisor and collegiate graduate coordinator must be secured. A repeated course is considered as a course added to the student's curriculum for the purposes of GPA calculation. A course substitution form must be forwarded to Graduate Admissions in Sparks Hall.
Correspondence and Experiential Credit
Murray State University does not grant graduate credit for correspondence courses or for portfolio-based experiential learning.
Challenge Examinations
Murray State University does not grant graduate credit for the completion of a challenge examination or any national testing for credit in any course.
Military Service Credit
Contingent on the approval of the graduate advisor, the collegiate graduate coordinator, and Graduate Admissions, six hours of graduate credit may be accepted toward a master's degree for completion of U.S. Military Command and General Staff College as recommended by the American Council on Education.
Graduate Degree/Course Time Limits
All course work used to fulfill master's degree programs or specialist in education requirements must be completed within the eight-year period prior to awarding the degree, beginning with the date the student initially enrolls in a class for graduate credit. Example: A graduate course begun in August 2002 must be used for a degree no later than August 2010. Failure to complete a degree in eight years will result in the loss of all credits taken outside of the time limits and the student being unable to continue with the approved program unless an extension is sought and granted. Graduate degree grade point averages are based on the courses listed on the graduate program form and applying to the program being sought. Any courses excluded by the eight-year rule shall not be included in the computation of the grade point average.
Students may request a time extension through their advisor and their program graduate coordinator. Time extensions must be approved by the Graduate Studies Committee of the Academic Council. Extensions are considered on a case-by-case basis. Students are strongly discouraged from requesting more than one extension. In the case where all graduate coursework has expired, no time extensions will be granted.
Since graduate students do not always enroll for courses in consecutive semesters, it is important to note the following:
• Enrolled graduate students need not apply every semester unless they have not been enrolled for five consecutive semesters, or have completed their graduate programs;
• Each graduate course must be used toward a degree within eight years of enrolling in that course.
Master's Thesis Requirements
Many graduate programs require a thesis for which a maximum of six hours of credit may be earned (consult program curriculum under the appropriate departmental section). If a thesis is required, the student's departmental advisor should be consulted early in the first term of graduate study. The advisor will assist the student in choosing a thesis topic, a thesis director, and a thesis committee (to consist of three to five members, including the director). Typically, thesis courses are not scheduled until the student is at least mid-way through a graduate program.
The thesis title, the thesis director, and members of the committee must be approved by the collegiate graduate coordinator who will formally appoint the committee and notify Graduate Admissions.
Students using human subjects in their research must seek approval and follow the guidelines of the MSU Institutional Review Board.
•Thesis Approval
Two weeks prior to the date on which the degree is to be conferred, the original and four copies of the signed thesis are to be submitted in unbound form to Graduate Admissions. Failure to meet this deadline may result in postponement of the student's degree conferral until the following semester.
Complete procedural and structural instructions are contained in Guidelines for the Preparation of Master's Theses, available from the collegiate graduate coordinator and the MSU website. It is the responsibility of the student to secure and comply with these guidelines.
Students who change from thesis track to non-thesis track in a graduate program possibly may not receive credit for the 698 and 699 Thesis courses.
Nationally recognized tests of aptitude are required by some colleges, departments, and programs of the university. Test scores may be used for admission, for candidacy, or as a condition of degree completion. Test score requirements for specific degrees will be found in the Graduate Bulletin under the appropriate departmental sections.
Foreign Language Requirement
Students who are required by their departments to demonstrate proficiency in a foreign language may satisfy the requirement in one of the following ways:
• by the completion of four semesters of college level study in one language with an average of C or better,
• by passing the language examination of the Educational Testing Service of Princeton, New Jersey, or
• by passing a proficiency examination administered by the Department of Modern Languages.
The native language of an international student may be accepted to meet the graduate language requirement if recommended by the student's advisor and approved by the graduate coordinator of the student's college.
For those disciplines permitting the substitution of statistics, computer science, or a combination thereof for a foreign language, the requirement may be met by the satisfactory completion of two semesters of the permitted substitute courses with grades of C or better. These courses are in addition to the total number of hours required for the degree. A proficiency examination administered by the appropriate department may be accepted in lieu of the required course work.
Summative Evaluation
In addition to completing required courses, students in master's degree programs will be expected to demonstrate that they have successfully met program standards through summative evaluation procedures administered near the end of the course of study. Murray State University also uses information on student performance gathered in summative evaluations for purposes of program improvement.
Comprehensive Examination
A student should refer to the section containing degree requirements of the student's graduate program for information regarding the comprehensive examination, if required by the department.
A student normally takes the comprehensive examination during the semester in which the student graduates; however, a student who has completed 24 hours toward the master's degree may also elect to take the examination.
An application for the comprehensive examination must be filed in Graduate Admissions during the first three weeks of the semester in which the student plans to take the examination.
The comprehensive examination is usually administered three weeks prior to the conclusion of the semester.
Application for Degree
Application for the degree should be made and the degree fee paid during the first three weeks of the semester in which the student expects to graduate. If a student does not graduate after making application, the student must reapply for the degree. Degree applications are available in Graduate Admissions or on the MSU website.
Graduate Student Checklist
Once a student is admitted to a graduate program at MSU, the checklist below may assist as progress toward completion of a degree is made:
• Graduate Program Form - This form was included along with the letter of admission. Students should contact their academic advisor, and with the advisor's assistance, complete the proposed program form during the first nine weeks of the first semester of study. Any changes to this plan must be made by official course substitution forms.
• 600-level courses - In all master's programs, at least half of the total formal coursework, excluding thesis, practicum, internship, or co-op credit, must be in courses open only to graduate students (600-level).
• Application for Candidacy Form - After completing nine hours of graduate work at MSU, graduate students should meet with their advisor to initiate an Application for Candidacy form, available from Admissions Services and the MSU website.
• GRE or GMAT results - It the student's program requires the GRE or GMAT, the student must request that an official score report be sent directly to MSU from the Educational Testing Service. If the student did not do this at the time of the exam, he/she should contact ETS (www.gre.org or www.gmat.org).
• Grades - Graduate students receive no credit for earning a grade below C. A graduate course repeated does not remove the original grade received in the course. In calculating grade point averages, a repeated course shall be considered an additional course. A 3.0 minimum GPA is required for a degree to be conferred.
• Language requirement - Students enrolled in programs with a language requirement should make certain that the language requirements have been met and documented.
• Thesis - If a thesis is required, the student's departmental advisor should be consulted early in the first term of graduate study. Thesis guidelines are available from Admission Services and the MSU website.
• Applying for a degree - Students must apply for the degree and pay the degree fee at the beginning of the semester in which they intend to graduate. If the program requires a comprehensive exam, students will apply to take that exam at the same time.
Second Master's Degree
Students desiring to pursue another master's degree at Murray State University shall have completed all requirements for a previous master's degree at Murray State University or another accredited university. In general, the same basic requirements for general admission, admission to candidacy, and other conditions previously stated in this catalog relative to a master's degree are also applicable to a second master's degree with the following exceptions:
1. A maximum of nine semester hours of completed graduate work from any previous master's degree may be applied toward an additional degree if the courses are appropriate for the degree and are approved by the department and if they fall within the eight-year time limit for completion of the master's degree.
2. If the new master's degree involves certification, all requirements for the certificate must be met prior to the completion of the degree.
3. Candidates for Specialist Degrees must check with their advisors concerning the program regulations on second degrees.
Candidates for an additional master's degree must file an application for admission to graduate school and identify their subsequent program prior to registration for additional coursework. The student must then contact the advisor assigned from the department offering the subsequent program and plan a complete program of studies. Individual programs have specific requirements which must be met before pursuing a subsequent master's degree. Normally, any deficiencies in preparation for a subsequent master's degree must be resolved during the first semester of enrollment.
Transcripts will be released at the written request of the student and in conformity with existing state and federal statutes pertaining to the release of student academic records. There is a fee for this service. Request forms and instructions are available on the MSU website.
The official academic record is the property of the university. Consequently, the university reserves the right to withhold the release of a transcript of that record if the student has an obligation to the university, and reserves the right to maintain the information contained in the permanent record according to established practice and in compliance with state and federal laws.
Documents received from third parties (including high school and college transcripts, test scores, etc.) are the property of Murray State University. These documents cannot be released by Murray State to other institutions or agencies nor can they be returned to the student. Students needing to send high school transcripts, other school transcripts, test scores, etc., should contact the original source.
Name and Address Changes
After registration, a student who has a name or address change is expected to notify the Registrar's Office in writing or by updating the information via the PIN system, and will be held responsible for any communication from university offices sent to the address last given, and may not claim indulgence on the plea of having changed lodgings or name and therefore of not having received the communication. The original demographic information from the student's initial admission to the university remains on the transcript, and any approved changes are added to the permanent record when the proper legal documents are presented to the Registrar's Office.

What if Strazcynski and Zabel did Star Trek?
Take a look and let us know what you think of it (click the above link and scroll down to the PDF file).
[via Lee Goldberg]
Actually, Straczynski has written a proposal for a Star trek spinoff before. It was about a space station and how the fate of the galaxy revolved around it (for a time). The boys in charge of the ST franchise rejected his proposal, and then turned around and stole the whole concept, creating Deep Space Nine. He rewrote it as a stand-alone show, Babylon 5.
If you outline the two shows, you will see how similar they are, with all the parallel themes. I'll assume Straczynski is only condiering working on this because the guys who ripped off his idea are no longer involved with the franchise.
I love Trek. I love time-travel. I love the "idea" of rebooting the series! I believe when you wrote the proposal (not script), you wanted to reignite an excitement with the fans. It worked for me. I want to see how JTK, Spock and McCoy got so close. Those who experience combat situations, or shared events (911)become closer than brothers. What happened for this bond to form so tightly at such an early stage of their careers? What common bond leads them to journey into space together? Were the friendships immediate? Once their mission began on the Enterprise, what made Scotty so special? He loved the Enterprise like a woman and talked to her in that way. I loved his sense of humor. I want to see this guys form their bond of lifelong friendship. Oh yeah, the Vietnam analogy....yeah...I've read about that, too. Howabout the Prime Directive was about not sharing our technology/knowledge to change a species history...not our might? The planet Earth certainly wasn't presented as the mightiest in the universe...quite the contrary. Lots of planets were far advanced of us. Far more powerful. But we are curious. We are brave. We are adventurers. We are always passionate. I miss Star Trek. Thank God there are some of you out there willing to keep the concept alive. Get back to Star Trek TOS and be positive again. Look for this ancient race, follow them...find out what they've been doing. Explore!June 18 2006 at 2:15 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
I think the seeing the kirk/spock/mccoy story as epic an dtimel;ess that can be told again and again is an interetsing approach. I for one would have watached that series (justas I have seen many robin hood movies, and read many versions of the Arthur of Britain storyline).
Readingthe PDF, one things seemed wrong to me: the types they represented.
Mccoy is emotion.
Spock is logic and reason.
Kirk has three properties: the synthesis of logic and reason; the burden of command and leadership; and the human spirit of adventure.
You know, I think this would have been really, really good. JMS did some amazing things in B5 that hadn't really been done in sci-fi TV before (correct me if I'm wrong here, I just don't know of any sci-fi shows, outside of perhaps the X-Files, that built the same massive mythology and had the same long term plan). They make a lot of great points in this proposal-everyone's too scared to muss up Trek, or they don't even know how when they try. They tried the big arc thing with the Xindi in S3 of Enterprise and failed, and then they tried smaller arcs in S4, but it just became longer shows that were just as episodic. The thing is that what they're proposing was already hinted at in Trek - the race in TNG's "The Chase" is basically the race they're talking about here, or at least very similar. And I would kill to see this because Trek is an amazing story, does have some very powerful themes, messages and built-in mythology, and I would love to see someone actually scratch it up a bit. Have more subtly flawed characters (T'Pol's a drug addict! See? SEE?!), have them be more HUMAN instead of these paragons of virtue.
Or maybe just get Ronald D. Moore to do it...no offence Bryce, JMS, but if that man can change Egyptian Pharoah helmets and little children into the BSG we see now...I guess BSG is what gives me faith that this could work, and work very, VERY well.
And the creative implications be damned. I want to be ENTERTAINED, and I like Trek, and I'd like to see it done right. And whoever wants to take credit for it can. I really don't care.
Bryce: thanks for the correction. Proposal, not script.June 17 2006 at 7:43 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
This is really more of an advertising pitch than a proposal -- it tells us that we should think this is a great idea, without actually giving us any reasons to come to that conclusion ourselves.
And I have to say the whole idea rubs up against a couple of my personal biases. One is a longstanding feeling that the "remake" or "reboot" is almost always -- not every time, but very nearly -- a misguided attempt to borrow the creative spark of someone in the belief that someone else can magically become the creator. Like eating the heart of your opponent to gain his courage. Rewriting the origin of Spider-Man "but this time doing it right" with lots of changes doesn't make the poor shmuck who does this into Stan Lee or Steve Ditko. Now, if a Bryan Singer looks at a Logan's Run and says, "Great premise, but the execution left a lot to be desired" that could be interesting. But that's not the case with Star Trek.
If a couple of really talented people wanted to create something to give other people the same feeling they themselves got from the original Trek...they should create their own show about space travel. It won't have the built-in name appeal of being called "Star Trek" you say? Good. Gene Roddenberry didn't have that either. Why is anyone else entitled to piggyback on him? That kind of misuse of the "name brand" is what gave us a succession of crappy shows and movies and "broke the franchise" in the first place.
The second bias this pitch raises in me is explicitly getting rid of the Prime Directive -- now hear me out, this isn't a geeky fanboy complaint! The Prime Directive was an overt political statement against Vietnam and American cultural imperialism in the Sixties. This was at the *heart* of the show. The show was saying that a truly civilized society will not impose itself on others simply because it can through superior might. And if you lose that, you're removing something as important today as it was back then.
Actually, we wrote a proposal about starting a new series using the Kirk, Spock and McCoy characters in a "re-boot." No script.June 17 2006 at 4:55 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
I do like the basic idea, and would really like to see it happen, but this specific outline has too many of JMS's fingerprints on it - it sounds suspiciously like Babylon 5 starring Kirk, Spock and McCoy.June 17 2006 at 4:53 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

Bun Bang Fai Rocket Festival
Rocket launchers in Thailand © Pawyilee
The skies around the town of Yasothon light up on this night with fireworks and rockets, tempting the clouds to spill their precious rain over the rice fields. Originating in pre-Buddhist times, it is a fertility rite held to celebrate and to encourage the coming of the rainy season, and parade ornaments and floats often sport phallic symbols and imagery. Although the humble origins lie in superstition, the festival is today a competition to see who has the biggest rocket. For more information phone the Yasothon Municipality on (0)45 711 397 or the Thailand Tourist Office on (0)2 694 1222.
Venue: Phaya Thaen Park, Yasothon

Jynx Maze Enjoys Naughty Anal Play New Sex Toy. In this free hard-core MOFOS sex gallery, we get to feast our eyes on Jynx Maze's stunning ass while she plays with her new sex toy. The stunning MILF enjoys all types of anal stimulation, and when she is unable to have a hard cock shoved up her ass, she then settles for the next best thing.
The scene starts with her stripping down completely naked and then lying on her left side, on the table. Jynx then sensually inserts her brand-new red Chinese beads into her anus, and then slowly pulls the beads out, one at a time. Every time one of those red beads pops out of her ass, this brunette receives a sharp sensation of unbelievable pleasure.Jynx Maze Enjoys Naughty Anal Play New Sex Toy.

Watch Interno di un convento: A zealous, handsome priest, who is the confessor for a convent full of women, encourages the equally zealous abbess of one such institution to enforce the same strict rules on these unfortunate women that are applied to others. In doing so, they uncover a snake pit of sexual couplings, both lesbian and heterosexual, as well as many tools for masturbation. At the same time, a particularly disturbed inmate manages to poison herself and many of the other novitiates in yet another scandal which is covered up by church authorities.

So apparently the Mets placed Fernando Martinez and Danny Herrera, on waivers Monday, or are planning to place the two on waivers.
It's a pretty amazing fall from grace for Martinez, who was originally signed for $1.3 million out of the Dominican Republic in 2005 and was widely regarded as a Top 100 prospect overall, and eventually the Mets' #1 prospect.
It seems a cruel twist, that as a friend pointed out to me, the Mets refused to trade Martinez for Johan Santana, but just a few years later, dropped him to add Ronny Cedeno.
It's interesting that a 40-man roster that has space for Robert Carson, a left-hander with limited double-A success, doesn't have room for Herrera, a left-hander who's had some MLB success. Of course, Carson can throw 95 mph on a good day. Herrera can't. Ever. This is a 40-man roster that still carries Armando Rodriguez, a right-handed who has never pitched above a-ball, and has average fastball velocity at best. This is a roster that still carries Josh Stinson, who has an ERA almost six (5.92 at AAA) in 89.2 innings in the last two years. And it doesn't have Martinez.
And perhaps the Fernando Martinez era isn't over. After all, some team would have to claim him on waivers, and maybe no one will. More Tuesday.

Pekovic's absence creates 'big opportunity' for Dante Cunningham
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
MINNEAPOLIS -- When Ronny Turiaf and Chase Budinger returned to the Minnesota Timberwolves' lineup in early January, it meant an adjustment in roles and playing time for the reserve unit.
The resulting changes have been especially true when it comes to forward Dante Cunningham.
In the first two months of the season, with Turiaf and Budinger sidelined due to injury, Cunningham was a mainstay on the second unit, averaging 19.5 minutes per game. Since Jan. 6, the night Turiaf was activated at Philadelphia, Cunningham's playing time has been cut to an average of 13 minutes in a 12 game stretch.
In turn, his effectiveness has notably ebbed and flowed.
Cunningham is understated when he discusses the situation, though he admits it has taken time to adapt.
"You're just trying to get your groove back and trying to understand what's going on," Cunningham said. "In the second unit it's just hard, Coach is trying to fit everybody in, trying to get everybody time, but it's a tough position for everyone."
But with Nikola Pekovic out for at least a week, the pressure is on the Wolves' entire frontcourt to fill the void.
That message seemed to have taken hold in Cunningham Wednesday in the Wolves' grinding 88-77 victory over New Orleans. The 6-foot-8 forward was a stabilizing presence for the bench. He missed only one of his seven shots en route to 12 points in 20 minutes -- the most he has logged in both categories in more than three weeks.
It was the caliber of performance the Wolves surely need to see more routinely out of him.
"He got it going," coach Rick Adelman remarked postgame about Cunningham's impact. "We need him. We need the energy and we need the energy he brings every night. I know it's hard ... Now he's started to play shorter minutes, but he still needs to bring the energy even if it's not going to be as long or whatever. We need him to bring that for us every night."
After a rough start to January, Minnesota is on the upswing as a winner of five of its last six games. Wednesday wasn't pretty - the Wolves' first full game minus Pekovic - but they did enough to pick up a win that brought them back over the .500 mark for the first time since late-November.
The timetable on Pekovic's return from nagging soreness in his right ankle is somewhat hazy, leaving it questionable whether or not he will be back in the starting lineup before the All-Star break (Feb. 13-18).
Until then, and even onward throughout the season's second half, Cunningham could play a key role in the ongoing cohesion of the second unit.
"This is a big opportunity for him," forward Kevin Love said. "(Wednesday) he took advantage of it. That's something that we're going to need from him, because he's another one of those X-factors for us."

After a sports concussion physical and mental (e.g. cognitive) rest are keys to recovery, says Dr. William P. Meehan, which means no video games, homework, or other activities that tax the brain and force it to work extra hard.
When it is safe for a youth or high school athlete to return to play contact or collision sports after symptoms of concussion clear depends on many factors, says Dr. William Meehan, including the athlete's age, baseline test data, time symptoms take to clear and severity, and concussion history.
Sports nutritionist and MomsTeam expert Nancy Clark's top three nutrition tips for athletes: think of food as fuel; fuel by day, diet by night; and, think quality calories.
With the winter sports season in full swing, it is important for parents to remember that, no matter how talented your child may be, there are going to be days when she doesn't play her best or when, despite her best effort, her team loses. How you manage both the ups and the inevitable downs will play a large role in whether your child has a successful youth sports experience.
Sweating results in the loss of both electrolytes (particularly sodium) and water. Orange juice, moderate salting of food in the diet, and sports drinks help replace electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and chloride lost during sports.
Surprising, as it may seem, the most important part of an athlete's diet isn't what they eat, it is what and how much they drink. Drinking fluids before, during and after sports is especially important for preadolescent children because they have special fluid needs compared to adults, or even teenagers.

Limited Submission: Andrew W. Mellon New Directions Fellowships
To: All Department Heads, Chairs, Dean, and Faculty in the Colleges of Humanities and Fine Arts, Social and Behavioral Sciences and Natural Sciences (Geography only) as well as the School of Education
THE ANDREW W. MELLON FOUNDATIONhas, for the first time, invited UMass Amherst to submit an application to their NEW DIRECTIONS FELLOWSHIPS PROGRAM. Average awards $175,000-$250,000; $300,000 maximum, over 3 years. http://www.mellon.org/grant_programs/programs/higher-education-and-scholarship/new-directions-fellowships
Deadline for submitting materials for internal review is Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Mellon deadline - October 11, 2013; Mellon notification - March 2014.Please send the requested materials via email to me (firstname.lastname@example.com ) by July 31. For technical questions please contact Linda Sopp in the Office of Corporate & Foundation Relations (firstname.lastname@example.com ; 5.3885)
PURPOSE: New Directions Fellowships assist faculty members in the humanities, broadly understood to include the arts, history, languages, area studies, and zones of such fields as anthropology and geography that bridge the humanities and social sciences, who seek to acquire systematic training outside their own areas of special interest. Serious interdisciplinary research often requires established scholar-teachers to pursue formal substantive and methodological training in addition to the PhD. This program enables strong scholars in the humanities to work on problems that interest them most, at an appropriately advanced level of sophistication. These awards should facilitate the work of individual faculty members and benefit humanistic scholarship more generally by encouraging the highest standards in cross-disciplinary research. These Fellowships are longer-term investments in scholars' intellectual range and productivity; they are not for short-term projects (e.g., the completion of a book).
ELIGIBILITY: Faculty awarded doctorates within 6-12 years with research interests that call for formal training (coursework or other organized study at UMA or elsewhere) in a discipline other than the one in which they are expert. Mellon expects that many fellows will seek to acquire deeper knowledge of other fields within the humanities, but proposals to study disciplines farther afield are also eligible. Nominee selection will be based on Mellon's stated criteria.
AWARDS: The Foundation expects the fellow's home institution to use budgetary relief for academic purposes, preferably in the fellow's department. Allowable expenses:
(1) 1 academic year's salary
(2) 2 yrs. of summer support, each at 2/9 of the previous AY salary
(3) tuition, course fees or direct training costs.
The proposal should provide an explanation of the overall significance of the research being undertaken and how the proposed new direction will assist in the development of the field. Please include:
(1) summary of the proposal (300 words maximum)
(2) proposal (2000 words maximum)
(3) 5 page curriculum vitae.
Use below bolded headings in the concept paper.
(1) name, department, and department chair in the header
(2) overall significance of the research
(3) case for the importance of extra-disciplinary training for furthering the research
(4) how the proposed new direction will assist in the development of your research and your ability to derive satisfactory results from the training.
(5) a well-developed training plan with timeline.

Teen Phoebe Prince Commits Suicide After Being Bullied
Violence Among Young Women Drops, But What About Bullying?
This week, prosecutors brought unprecedented charges against students who bullied 15-year-old Phoebe so much that she committed suicide in January. Her friends and family allege that the students repeatedly harassed Phoebe at school and with technology by sending hurtful texts and talking trash on Facebook. Her fellow students allegedly threatened her verbally and physically because she moved from Ireland and was involved briefly with guys whom other girls at the school liked. Now those teens have been charged with the felony of violation of civil rights with bodily injury resulting, and two young men also have been charged with statutory rape, presumably for having otherwise consensual sex with Phoebe.
Some spectators argue such bullying isn't confined to South Hadley High, but rather a phenomenon taking over US schools. Unlike bullies of days gone by, modern kids have technology at their disposal. The threat of digital abuse, including sexting, online cruelty, and digital disrespect, prompted MTV to launch a multiyear initiative to empower youth to it. As violence caused by young women goes down, youth are increasingly able to harm each other from afar. While I doubt young people will ever stop picking on each other, maybe the threat of serious consequences, mixed with some preventative action, can curtail the impact of Bullying 2.0.

And I don't mean that you didn't think it up. I mean simply that the only legal ownership is an invention, for which you'd need a patent, and patents are expensive, take a long time and don't really guarantee protection.
Companies don't even want to talk to you about your idea, because for all they know, you've thought of something they're already working on, and if they talk to you about it, you'll be able to say they stole your idea.
The way real people with real ideas get value from them is by building a company to implement those ideas. Then you can own it because you own the market, you were first, you're branded, and everybody else is just imitating you.

"Big Ticket" electronic items are sold by national chain stores such as "Alphabet Soup Warehouse" or "Throw-Away Merchandise Mart" and many local repair shops have gone out of business. Because of the fact that Kens Electronics webpages have top ten results for hundreds of parts on Google--the following business often refer customers to Kens: Radio Shack, Uniden America, Digi-Key, Mouser Electronics, Standard Electric, United Electric, All Phase Electric, Kendall Electric. Nationally known wholesale distributors including: Allied Electronics, Grainger Find Mro, Newark Inone, Graybar Electric, Fitzpatrick Electric, RS Electronics, Global Supply Service, and many others occasionally buy parts from Ken. Businesses and individuals from about fifty countries have purchased parts they need directly from Kens Electronics.
