The Honors Program offers high academic achievers opportunities to interact with other students who have similar academic standards, small classes to ensure individualized attention, faculty who are caring and supportive, a strong academic program, and an enhanced academic record. It also provides opportunities to enhance regular courses through specialized projects.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Honors Program designed to do for me as a student, or my child?
The Honors program brings many benefits. In addition to an enriched program of academic and civic study, the program brings financial opportunities. Students meeting the criteria for admission to the Honors Program are eligible for the Honors Scholarship at Vol State. Further, participation in the Vol State Honors Program also opens the door for Honors Programs and Honors scholarships at four year universities, such as a MTSU's renowned McNair Scholarship.
The program is always looking to expand opportunities and benefits as well. Currently, the program is working to create some specific International Education-study abroad opportunities, as well as priority registration, and use of a special Honors Room in the Library. The program is also exploring a grant to reward Honors students with either a laptop or netbook computer. The Honors website will be updated to reflect these benefits as they are completed.
- What is required to be accepted in the Honors Program?
In order to enter the program, a student must meet the following requirements. High school students must have either a) a 3.5 GPA, b) a composite score of 26 on the ACT, or c) two letters of recommendation from instructors. Enrolled Vol State students must have at least a 3.5 GPA or letters of recommendation from two faculty members.
If a student is interested in doing Honors work, but does not meet the criteria, they may join the Honors Auxiliary. This program is designed for students who take courses by contract but are not officially in the Program. The Honors Auxiliary students will be invited to Honors meetings and be able to use the Honors room in the library. They will not be eligible for the Honors Scholarship until an appropriate grade threshold is achieved. Performance standards will be defined in the Honors contracts for these students.
- What is required to stay in the Honors Program?
The only requirements to stay in the Honors program are to maintain a 3.0 GPA and continue to take Honors Courses. However, in order to gain the Honors diploma, a student is required to do more than just twelve (12) hours of Honors courses. An Honors degree also requires participation in some on-campus events as well as some off campus ones. Remember that part of the goal of the program is creating not just high academic standards, but solid citizens as well.
- How is the Honors Program different from taking regular classes?
Honors courses involve more student involvement in discussion, critical thinking and analysis, presentation of ideas, and writing. Because there are substantially fewer students in Honors courses, the faculty and students are able to interact more in order to promote intellectual curiosity, creativity, self-awareness, intellectual independence, open-mindedness, and the leadership abilities of highly motivated students. The goal is to encourage Honors students to strive for academic excellence and personal achievement.
- What Honors courses are available at Vol State?
Currently, there are several courses offered as Honors courses. English Composition I (ENGL 1010), Survey of American Literature I (ENGL 2110), Survey of American History I (HIST 2010), Leadership Development (HUM 275), and General Psychology (PSY 101) are our standard offerings. Future courses are now under consideration for inclusion in the program, including courses in Math and Science.
Honors courses are listed in the Volunteer State schedule of classes in the Honors Section. Honor students may receive Honors credit in some non-Honors courses through the Honors-by-contract with instructors. In addition, superior students who are not officially admitted to the Honors Program may enroll in Honors courses with instructor recommendation.
- What is Honors-by-Contract?
Quite simply, Honors-by-contract is taking a regular course and, through an agreement between a student, the Honors Director, and the instructor, making it an honors credited course. This Honors Contract should include some sort of project that enhances student learning in addition to the normal course requirements. Ideally, the instructor and the student arrive at the arrangement together and submit a contract to the Honors Director. Creative and challenging projects are encouraged and some projects may be selected for public presentation and/or posting on the Honors Program website. Ideally, this project should require some sort of service learning or off campus activity to widen the student's understanding of the outside world.

Columbus, OH (Sports Network) - The Columbus Blue Jackets re-signed left wing
Blake Comeau to a one-year deal Tuesday.
The 27-year-old Comeau registered two goals and three assists in nine games
after the Columbus acquired him from the Calgary Flames for a fifth-round pick
before the April 3 trade deadline.
Comeau had six goals and 12 points in 42 games between the Blue Jackets and
Flames last season.
"Blake is a dependable two-way forward who combines physical play with ability
in the offensive zone," said Columbus general manager Jarmo Kekalainen. "We
liked what we saw from him at the end of last season as he fit in very well
with our team and we're pleased to have signed him to this extension."
Comeau, the New York Islanders' second-round pick in 2004, has 67 goals and 81
assists in 361 games in his seven-year career with the Islanders, Flames, and
Blue Jackets.

Only two years ago, a 15-member panel spent several long afternoons at the State House trying to come up with a congressional redistricting plan that reflected changes in the state's population. Now, a new redistricting commission has reconvened, but this time they will looking at the boundaries of Maine's 151 House districts and 35 Senate districts to determine whether those lines need to be changed. A.J. Higgins has more.
As a political indepependent, Bangor attorney Michael Friedman is the odd man out on the 15-member commission that will redraw the state's House and Senate boundary lines. But as he weighs the concerns of the seven Republicans and seven Democrats on the panel, he also has the advantage of serving as the commission chair and deciding vote.
As the redistricting commissioners gather to draw up some ground rules, Friedman says he already knows that 90 to 95 percent of the redistricting suggestions will be acceptable to members of both parties. For a moment, he wonders aloud if it wouldn't be a more efficient use of the panel's time to concentrate on the districts that both factions already agree are likely to be in dispute.
"I'd like to have everybody agree today, but I've been around the barn a few times and I know it's not going to happen," Friedman said.
Like the legislative process itself, the machinery of the redistricting commission will be given to fits and starts of activity as it weighs the impact that population changes in the state have had since 2003, when the last plan was approved. Since then, every district for the Maine House of Representatives has contained approximately 8,443 people in it, while every Senate district has been populated by approximately 36,426 people.
But Maine's population has not only grown, it's been redistributed. David Emery is a redistricting consultant for Republicans on the panel.
"Well, the population has shifted and it's not necessarily that towns have lost population, but other towns in the southern part of state have grown more rapidy," Emery says. "So the best way to describe it is that the center of gravity, the center of balance of the population, has shifted further and further south."
The trend that established some giant state Senate districts in northern Maine is expected to continue. For example, 20 years ago, Arrostook County had three state senators entirely within the county's borders. Today there are two left that are entirely within the county. Emery says that by the end of this process, there may only be one.
Whatever changes are recommended by both groups, Democratic Party Chair Ben Grant says it's unlikely that there will be any signs of gerrymandering in the process, a strategy that attempts carve out districts to contruct a preordained political profile.
"We have a lot of protections against that requiring a two-thirds vote in the Legislature, and then if that doesn't work, having the court decide things," Grant says. "And they're usually a more measured group that's not really looking to a political advantage as a reason for drawing the map."
Thus far, the commission has been able to reach unanimous approval on important issues, including developing guidelines for redrawing boundaries based on constitutional, federal law, and historical precedent.

I'm flattered that my little girl does not want me to leave the house, but I wish it wasn't so difficult. Lauren is two-and-a-half now, and she has never been great about welcoming babysitters. We've been able to skirt the issue a lot by just making our plans after Lauren goes to bed. She's in bed by 7 p.m., so that's not a huge stretch. However, there are those times when we need to leave Lauren with the babysitter awake, and the tears flow.

Motorcycling facts for Ride To Work Day - and chance to win bike tyres
12:36 17 June 2012
PA Archive/Press Association Images
Excitement is building in anticipation of the 2012 Olympic Games later this summer but many Londoners are also bracing themselves for upheaval to their daily commute.
With the rail and Tube network expected to be bursting with tourists, and with road closures scheduled to allow athletes and dignitaries to get around London quickly, many people will be looking for alternatives ways of getting to work throughout the summer.
Scooters and motorcycles might just be the answer.
There are a whole host of benefits to taking to two wheels, and with national Ride To Work Day on June 18, now could be the perfect time to consider getting on two wheels for the daily commute.
Did you know?
Motorcycles and scooters are completely exempt from the central London congestion charge.
Parking in designated Bike Park bays in central London costs just £1 per day for motorcycles.
Motorcycles and scooters are much "greener" than most cars – some scooters can do more than 100mpg.
To encourage London bikers to get out and show support for National Ride To Work Day, we've teamed up with German tyre manufacturer Metzeler to give one lucky winner a set of motorcycle tyres of their choice.
Metzeler is a premium tyre manufacturer with an extensive product range to satisfy every rider, covering superbike, tourer, commuter, naked, adventure, cruiser, scooter and off-road machines.
Two runners-up will each receive a pair of paddock passes to a British Superbike round of their choice, where the Metzeler National Superstock series does battle at each exciting event.
Click here to enter the competition.
Bike review
Kawasaki's new Versys 1000 is a great all-round bike for the London commute.
Its relaxed upright riding position gives a commanding view of the road, and the wide handlebars and generous steering lock make it a doddle to pick a route through traffic.
The powerful 1043cc engine ensures that getting away from traffic lights or nipping past slower vehicles can be done quickly and safely, and the higher ratio top gears mean that cruising at motorway speeds is comfortable and smooth.
The Versys 1000 has a wide padded and contoured seat to make longer journeys comfortable, and Kawasaki designers have clearly extended the same consideration to the pillion seat too.
Although it's a big bike, the Kawasaki Versys 1000 offers good fuel economy of 45mpg - 55mpg depending on riding style and conditions.
Add in the benefits of cheap and plentiful parking for bikes and the absence of congestion charges for all two-wheelers, and next week's Ride to Work Day is the perfect time to think about getting into biking.

Trials of immune therapies in new-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) have shown success but not all subjects respond and the response duration is limited. Our aim was to determine whether two courses of FcR-nonbinding anti-CD3 mAb, teplizumab, reduces the decline in C-peptide in patients with new-onset T1D two years after disease onset, and we also set out to identify characteristics of responders. We treated 52 subjects with new-onset T1D with teplizumab for 2 weeks at diagnosis and after 1 year in a randomized, open-labeled, controlled trial. In the intention to treat analysis of the primary endpoint, teplizumab-treated patients had a reduced decline in C-peptide at 2 years ((mean, 95% CI) -0.28(-0.36, -0.20) nmol/L) vs. control (-0.46(-0.57, -0.35) nmol/L; p=0.002), a 75% improvement. The most common adverse events were rash, transient upper respiratory infections, headache, and nausea. In a post-hoc analysis, we characterized clinical responders and found that metabolic (HbA1c and insulin use) and immunologic features distinguished this group from non-responders to teplizumab. We conclude that teplizumab treatment preserves insulin production and reduces the use of exogenous insulin in some patients with new-onset T1D. Metabolic and immunologic features at entry can identify a subgroup with robust responses to immune therapy.

To increase the accuracy of slugsType of shot shell which features a single lead projectile. Typically used for big game shotgun hunting. in a shotgun, purchase shotgun barrels or chokes that are rifled - these are becoming increasingly popular and do an excellent job in harvesting game at reasonable ranges.
A saboted slugSlug designed to be fired from a rifled barrel shotgun or shotgun with a rifled choke tube. is designed to be fired from rifled barreled shotguns or shotguns with a rifled choke tubeTube of different constrictions that are found in shotguns. The degree of constriction helps control the spread of the shot at different distances.. As the saboted slug exits the shotgun muzzleThe opening in a barrel where ammunition exits after being fired., the sabot is separated from the slug and falls away, allowing the slug to continue down range unimpeded. This type of shotgun ammunition is very accurate and provides plenty of knockdown power for most big gameLarge animals that are legal to hunt (example - deer, bear, moose, etc.) at ranges up to 150 yds.
The foster slugAlso called rifled slugs, they are designed to be fired from a smooth barrel shotgun. is used for hunting targets at longer distances. The hollow rear on this slug pushes its center of gravity toward the front, which in turn gives it greater stability, up to a distance of 75 yards. Most will feature small fins toward the rear, called "rifling".
Shotgun slugs are generally required to be used when hunting in built-up or semi-rural areas. In these areas, it would be unsafe to discharge center fire high power rifle cartridges that are capable of firing bullets that can travel distances greater than 2.5 miles.
The chart below shows how far shot and slugs from a shotgun can potentially travel.

- "Eeeeeyoooo! What is the gooey yellow stuff?"
- ―Maria Latore about Miguel.
S.A.M. is a mission in Grand Theft Auto III, given to protagonist Claude by new Yakuza leader Asuka Kasen from a Panlantic Construction Company construction site in Fort Staunton, Staunton Island, Liberty City.
Claude drops by the construction site in Fort Staunton. Asuka, (along with Maria) is now aware of a plane crossing the Francis International Airport in south Shoreside Vale and it contains a big number of SPANK drug packages. Claude drives over to a jetty in Bedford Point. He picks up a rocket launcher on the jetty and takes the Reefer nearby to drive over to the south end of the airport, near the two buoys. He kills all the Colombian Cartel gang members guarding the exit of the airport. After a while, the DeadDodo plane arrives and Claude shoots it down with his rocket launcher.
After blowing up the plane, a 4-star wanted level is present and Claude retrieves the packages quickly before a police helicopter arrives and stops him. Afterward, he escapes back to the construction site while being pursued by a fleet of relentless cops.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Find the marker boat and get to the marker buoy
- Get to the runway marker buoys! The plane is on it's final approach
- Collect the cargo
- Stash the SPANK back at the construction site
The reward for this mission is $45,000. The mission Ransom is unlocked.

- Although the game will direct the player to a buoy at sea as the location where to fire the rocket, the player may elect to walk onto the runway and blow the plane up there, but may suffer some damage if the plane blows up right underneath the player.
- The player can escape via Reefer in the sea (if it is not beached) or by stealing the Cartel Cruiser (or one of the police cruisers that come for the player) near the runway and driving on the airport runways to the bridge.
- If the player shoots the plane too soon, some packages may fall into the sea which will result in a mission fail if Claude attempts to jump in there to retrieve them, so you will need to swim with the boat into them to get them.

The Lacoste company was founded in 1933 and takes its name from René Lacoste, the world-renowned tennis player and sports enthusiast. René Lacoste did not like the traditional shirts used for tennis and teamed up with André Gillier, the owner of France's largest knitwear company, to create the knitted cotton piqué shirt that revolutionized the sportswear market.
The American press nicknamed René Lacoste the "Crocodile" after he made a bet with the Captain of the French Davis Cup team. He had promised René a crocodile-skin suitcase if he won a match that was important to the team. The American public stuck with this nickname that highlighted René's tenacity on the tennis court. A friend of René's, Robert George, drew a crocodile that was embroidered on the blazer that he wore on the court from then on.
Each design reflects the brand's DNA—classic, understated quality and luxury with a sophisticated blend of sports and fashion. These characteristics combine to create a unique style that distinguishes Lacoste footwear from other lifestyle brands.
Quality—Lacoste uses high-quality materials combined with exceptional standards of manufacturing supported by a quality control team.
Affordable Luxury—Lacoste provides high-quality footwear with all the confidence a prestigious brand can provide, but at an affordable price.
Simple—Most of their products have a clean simplicity to them, providing fashionable, modern, understated styling.
Comfort—All of Lacoste's products go through extensive fit and wear trials to ensure their comfort.
Detail—Lacoste likes their shoes to be distinctive and easily identifiable. Fine details are very important to them, from the color of the stitching to the shoe lining.
