SAN FRANCISCO — In what is arguably the most important milestone in West Coast jazz since the advent of the Monterey Jazz Festival in1958, the unveiling of the SFJazz Center here on Jan. 23 inspired jazz fans, a notoriously fatalistic lot.
"There's a slogan for a jazz radio station — 'Keep Jazz Alive' — every time I hear that I want to turn the radio off," says SF Jazz Founder and Executive Artistic Director Randall Kline, as he generously conducts a one-on-one tour of his new hall during sound check.
As the scintillating saxophones of Joshua Redman and Joe Lovano waft up to the second balcony, Kline says, "That's exciting, vibrant music. If you can build a place that shows how vibrant it can be, maybe more people might be interested."
Kline makes it sound so simple. But he, of all people, knows it isn't. Kline has been presenting the San Francisco Jazz Festival in other peoples' houses all over the city since 1983. Until 12 years ago, the idea that the festival might have a home of its own wasn't even on the agenda.

But in 2004, when he started meeting with architect Mark Cavagnero and the SFJazz board agreed to raise $60 million for a new hall, things got real, fast. Despite the Great Recession, the board found the money — ultimately, $64 million — and made this subtly elegant, three-story, 35,000 square foot, 700-seat hall in San Francisco's Hayes Valley, right next door to Davies Symphony Hall, a reality.
The SFJazz Center is the second theater in America designed specifically for jazz, the first being Jazz at Lincoln Center's Rose Hall, in New York.
A feeling of giddy excitement and civic pride flooded Robert N. Miner Auditorium at the gala, as emcee Bill Cosby introduced a cavalcade of stars: pianists McCoy Tyner, Jason Moran and Chick Corea; vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, bassist/vocalist Esperanza Spalding; saxophonists Lovano, Redman and John Handy; and Seattle guitarist Bill Frisell.
Kline choked up as he introduced the first act, sizzling San Francisco vocalist Mary Stallings, whose inaugural song, "I Love Being Here With You" took on special meaning.
Much like the gourmet small plates served at the black-tie, red-carpet reception beforehand, the concert was a tasting menu of short, savory tidbits.
Highlights included Moran's jangling deconstruction of Fats Waller's "Yacht Club Swing," a rollicking, two-tenor cascade by Lovano and Redman; Spalding's spontaneous scat explosion; Corea's mischievous electric piano on the SFJazz Collective's version of the pianist's famous tune, "Spain"; and Frisell and Corea's subtle, exploratory pas de deux on the ballad, "It Could Happen to You."
Frisell is one of five Resident Artistic Directors at SFJazz who will mount original projects for the organization over the next two years. In keeping with the West's more casual attitude toward hierarchy and structure, SFJazz ensembles and programs are decentralized and diffuse, a philosophy reflected in the modular architecture of the new building.
The hall can be cut down to 350 seats, and with its steeply-raked setup, bar-stool like chairs in the balcony and cup-holders by every seat, it offers club-like intimacy. The acoustics are exquisite — clear and crisp, with a slightly dry, "natural" feel.
"The idea was to have the focus and amenities of a concert hall and the immediacy and relaxed nature of a club," says Kline.
The Center also has an unusual, 90-seat, flat-floor rehearsal and concert space, the Joe Henderson Lab, which passers-by can see through a glass wall, another hallmark of Kline's tilt toward the accessible and casual. (The hall's restaurant will be open all day, not just when there are performances.)
Handy made a point of saying he was certain there would be music here "long after I'm gone." As a closer, San Francisco writer and gala chair Robert Mailer Anderson ("Boonville") nodded in the other direction, to the past, ritualistically cranking up a furniture-sized Victrola and playing a Billie Holiday 78 rpm record of her singing "I'll Be Seeing You."
The hall went dead quiet. For a moment it really felt like Billie was there.
Jazz felt very much alive, with a promising future.

Looks great! I like seeing that there are "things" scattered throughout the maze, like the tower in the middle, the waterfall pond, and the sundial.
I am curious though, is the challenge of the maze to get to the middle, or to get to an exit? I don't see another way out, unless that little gated shed in the top right is an exit.

ARLINGTON, Va. (WUSA 9) --- The Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC) provides supplemental groceries to residents in need.
The food pantry operates in the fifth wealthiest county in the nation, where the median household income is over $94,000, according to the U.S. Census.
Wayne Kent Davis, 76, is retired. Once a wealthy man, Davis now faces circumstances that make it difficult to buy enough groceries to last through the week. So he visits AFAC.
"I look forward to coming here. Some people would feel ashamed but I don't because the people don't make you feel ashamed, they make you feel welcomed," Davis said.
The 25-year-old food pantry not only provides food to over 4,000 qualified residents, but it also strives to supply as much choice and variety of food as possible.
Charles Meng, the Executive Director of AFAC described the "Choice Model."
"By allowing families to choose, they'll choose those things that their family likes and needs. It also respects the dignity of the individual," he said.
AFAC receives a wealth of community support with 60 percent of its food supplies coming from donations.
"All families receive a dozen eggs, milk, chicken...and we're now serving about 1600 families [per week]," Meng said.
Davis stated that one of his favorite parts about coming to AFAC is seeing all the volunteers.
"We basically have all age groups. We even have family night that allows parents to bring in very young kids to do bagging of groceries for us," Meng said.
Helen Hensgen not only volunteers, but she also brings produce from her home garden.
Meanwhile, Ronda Adgate said she found out about AFAC through her church.
"It's a way to just meet the needs of people and give them a place to go to where they are valued," Adgate said.
AFAC Wish List: Flour, Sugar, Condiments, Vegetable oil
Note: The Gannett Foundation has provided a grant to AFAC.

Syria Population 2016
Syria, a Middle Eastern country, has a population that's difficult to determine due to said instability. Approximately 5,000 flee Syria every day. In 2012, the country had a population estimated at 22,530,746, although this number had dropped to an estimated population of 22,457,336 as of September 2013. Today, it is estimated to have 22,087,048.
Just recently, Syria was considered a rapidly growing country in the area, growing over 2% in 2009, and growing from just 6 million in 1971 to its current population of 22 million.
Syria Population 2014
Syria's population is comprised of many refugees from other countries. In 2012, it was estimated that 1.8 million refugees in the country were from Iraq, most of whom were displaced during the Iraq war. Syria has also been home to large groups of Palestinians (540,000) and Armenians (130,000). Of course, that's now in the past, as Syria has been in a great deal of turmoil and its population is now tumbling out of control.
While Syria's population is currently 22,087,048 (April 2014), this is dropping every day. The United Nations reports that 5,000 people flee Syria every day, and 28% of its population has now been driven from their homes. There are now 2 million Syrians who have fled, and 4.25 million who have been displaced but stay in the country.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) predicts 10.25 million Syrians will need aid by the end of 2014, which is equal to 46% of Syria's total nation. There are now 2 million refugees from the country in nearby countries. 110,000 are in Egypt, 168,000 are in Iraq, 515,000 in Jordan, 716,000 in Lebanon and 460,000 in Turkey.
Largest cities in Syria
The largest city in Syria is not its capital Damascus, but Aleppo, which is situated in the North East of the country.
Aleppo's population was recorded at 2,132,000 in 2004, although it has dropped dramatically since, given the civil war and millions fleeing the country. As the country is embroiled in a war, estimates on city populations are unavailable. Although 80% Muslim, it is also home to one of the largest Christian populations in the Middle East. According to the latest estimates, approximately 12%of the city's inhabitants are Christian.
Damascus is the second largest city in Syria, with a population of 1,711,000 (estimate, 2009). It holds the record as the oldest continually inhabited city in the world – there is evidence of human habitation in Damascus dating back to 9,000BC.
Syria is urbanizing rapidly. It is estimated that in 2010, 56% of the people in Syria lived in an urban environment, and this number is increasing by more than 2% per year.
Syrian Demographics
Syria is a largely Islamic country; according to the latest data from 2007, 87% of the country's population was Muslim. Broken down, around 74% are Sunni and around 13% are Shia. There are approximately 2 million Alawi in Syria today, and representatives of this group dominate Syrian politics and the Syrian military. Syria's current President, Bashar al-Assad, is an Alawi Shia.
The other two major religious groups in Syria are Christian (around 9% of the population) and Druze (3%).
The largest ethnic group (approximately 90%) in Syria is Arab, mostly classified as Levantine. Other major groups in Syria are Kurds (2 million), Syrian Turkmen (0.75-1.5 million) and Assyrians (0.9 to 1.2 million).
The Current State of Syria
Syria's bloody civil war has done substantial damage already, and the country is in ruins, in many ways. Civilian neighborhoods have been bombed, sniper fighting and street fights have taken over and there is no end in sight. In mid-2012, rebels moved into Alebbo, the largest city in Syria, and 2/3 of the city was seized within weeks. Now, regime and rebels are locked in warfare, and the city crumbles. After two years of combat, almost 100,000 have been killed. Hafez al-Assad's Alwaites regime represents just one eighth of the country, and the Sunni Muslims (who make up 75% of the country's population) make up the resistance.
The UN estimates that 5,000 Syrians flee the country every day, and 4.25 million people are homeless and displaced in the country. It's estimated that 52% of the refugee population is under the age of 18, and the refugees and displaced now equal 28% of the total population of more than 22 million.

Omaha, NE (Sports Network) - Grant Gibbs and Will Artino each finished with 13
points to lead the Creighton Bluejays to a 59-45 victory over the Southern
Illinois Salukis in a Missouri Valley Conference battle at CenturyLink Center
For the Bluejays (22-6, 11-5 MVC) Doug McDermott, the nation's second-leading
scorer (22.9 ppg), was held to just 10 points to go along with seven rebounds
in the team's second straight win.
Jeff Early led the Salukis (11-16, 4-12) with 12 points and Anthony Beane
chipped in with 10 and six boards off the bench as they had a two-game win
streak snapped.
Creighton took a 28-22 advantage into halftime after shooting 52.4 percent
from the field through the first 20 minutes of action. Though held to just
31.3 percent shooting, SIU remained close by outscoring Creighton 9-0 in
second-chance points.
In the second half the Bluejays continued to knock down their shots,
connecting on 50 percent of their field goal tries, though they missed all
four of their 3-point attempts in the period. The Salukis made 42.1 percent
of their field goals in the half, but were outscored 13-6 at the free-throw
Creighton, which scored the first points of the night and never looked back,
outscored the Salukis in the paint, 34-18.

text: I drew a GMU 75/751 3rd season tag this year and am trying to narrow down what elevation/habitat to hunt. I have several areas in mind ranging from 8500-9500' drainages with Aspen and Pine mixes, 7000'-8000' finger ridges with Aspen and PJ, and lower elevation Oak and PJ terrain. Where do think I would find the mature bucks 5-13 November. Any and all ideas and PM's welcome.

|Random drug testing audit done
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Concerns were raised last spring about the integrity of the selection process used for random drug testing (RDT) of Holyoke students in grades 7-12 involved in extra-curricular activities.
As a result, the school district employed an outside firm, Keith Research & Evaluation, LLC, to perform an audit. A presentation of that audit report was given by Supt. Bret Miles at the Oct. 6 board meeting.
Miles noted the RDT committee has been reconvened for a thorough review of the policy and will also introduce all new procedures designed to meet the recommendations set forth in the report.
He pointed out the RDT committee will serve in an advisory capacity only. The committee is meeting weekly and intends to complete its work in November, then make recommendations to the board for proposed changes.
Miles emphasized right now they're focused on making the RDT program the best it can be. "Once it's the best, then we can revisit whether to continue it."
In the audit summary, Patricia Keith, Ph.D., said the Holyoke RDT program was built with integrity. She noted the Holyoke RDT Guidelines—Random Selection of Enrolled Students—describes a multi-step randomization process for selecting students for RDT.
This multi-step process was partially used by Centennial Mental Health (CMH). Their subsequent use of an in-house-developed method for randomly selecting students is what likely brought the integrity of the selection processes into question.
Problems with the student selection processes have been identified. Although method one had the potential to be reliable and valid, its implementation is not fully documented. It involved an online random number generator, which is a valid method.
Method two is inadequate for randomly selecting students, according to the audit report. With a change of personnel at CMH, a "close the eyes and point" method was used at CMH from March 11-May 14 to provide student numbers to the school. This method is not considered valid.
Consistency in the practice of selecting students was not present, in part, because of the lack of written standard operating procedures (SOP). The absence of supervision and the informal communication patterns between the school district and CMH did not work to establish a high level of integrity for the program during its first year of operation either.
Recordkeeping by both parties was not at the level needed to document the integrity of the student selection process.
After the two-day site visit, interviews with seven community members with interests in the RDT program and reviewing existing documents, Keith Research and Evaluation concluded the RDT program needs to develop a formal plan for continuous quality improvement.
Recommendations reviewed
Supt. Miles reviewed the recommendations from Dr. Keith's report, as well as action progress on each.
The recommendation to discontinue method two for selection has been implemented. The audit also requested the CMH office manager no longer be responsible for selecting student numbers for RDT.
The establishment of written SOPs for the selection of students for RDT is in progress, with a new draft to be presented to the RDT committee Oct. 20.
Closer supervision at CMH was recommended, noting once the SOPs are developed, they can serve as a benchmark for all project-related responsibilities and activities.
It was suggested the CMH executive director or maybe regional director meet with its staff, at least twice a year, to ensure all work efforts, including paperwork, are done with consistency and integrity.
Keith Research recommended the principal should continue to be responsible for the RDT program at the school level, and should review, verify and if correct, sign the CMH semi-annual report each semester before forwarding it to the superintendent. A second RDT coordinator will be trained, as well.
It was noted an additional district staff person could be assigned to work with the principal for clerical involvement, and the superintendent should supervise the work done by the principal to maintain the integrity of the program.
The district will work at a balance of protecting information with layers of oversight to protect the RDT coordinator.
Additionally, it was recommended a plan for continuous quality improvement be developed, starting with a review of some items in the RDT guidelines. That policy review is under way, with recommendations for the school board and standard operating procedures to hopefully be ready by November.
In Dr. Keith's report to the district, it was noted there's been an estimated 16.5 percent of school districts in the United States which have adopted and implemented student random drug testing programs as of May 2008.
In August of 2008, Holyoke School District joined the ranks of over 2,000 other districts that conduct RDT of some students.

de Bono's White Thinking Hat
(Gone Fishin')
Print out and distribute a Plot Profile sheet for students to follow as a viewing focus for the Raven Tales episode Gone Fishin'. The students should view the episode with de Bono's White Thinking Hat in mind. (ie. They should track only the plot events in the episode).
Note: It is important that the teacher reinforces the concept of 'Wearing a White Hat'. Students should be looking strictly for plot information and events from the story, not concerning themselves with the emotions of the characters etc.
Watch the Raven Tales episode Gone Fishin' .
Reminder: It is important to stop throughout the video and give students (A/B partners) opportunity to talk or respond to the video.
Once the video is complete, student partner groups report out to the class. Teacher records important plot elements from the story on the board.
Using their Graphic Organizer as a writing guide, students re-write the story of Gone Fishin' in their own words. Students can re-write the story in a number of formats which include:
- Journal write or narrative story
- TV or radio episode script format
- Drama presentation
- Graphic story with text

The whole btm half of the unit is HMA. You'll do fine.
Two of us will have a combined 3 points going into the draw this year. We would have liked to hunt 63 again, but the points aren't in our favor - especially if they cut back tags this year. With that reality, I've been looking at Unit 48. I spoke to the bio, and he seemed to think that quality would be much the same as last year and on par with 63. Anyone out there hunted this unit? If so, what did you think? It appears that access is a bit more tricky but still doable. Thanks!
The whole btm half of the unit is HMA. You'll do fine.
I don't think you have enough points to draw there.

Just put something down, the change date goes till June 3rd.
If you want Does, make sure you put those down as well.

Herd looks for win at high-scoring Houston
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The way coach Tom Herrion sees it, Houston has set itself up well for its move to The League With No Name.
And he believes his Marshall team has taken advantage of the week that preceded today's game against those ready-to-split Cougars. Game time is 2 p.m. EST at Houston's Hofheinz Pavillion, with WCHS channel 8 airing it in Charleston-Huntington.
"One, we got to spend some time on us, more than you usually do this time of year," Herrion said. "Second, we needed to academically get our feet back on the ground."
Third, the Thundering Herd will try to get its sputtering season back on the uptick. Shoot, Marshall is trying for its second road win in a row, following the surprisingly easy win Feb. 20 at Central Florida.
Both teams are jockeying to get into the middle of the Conference USA pack, maybe even sneak away with a first-round bye in the league tournament. With UCF on the postseason sidelines, there are five such spots.
But Houston (15-11, 4-9) is a long way from that, even a game behind eighth-place Marshall. The Cougars have lost three in a row, clinching their fourth straight season with a losing league record.
This perennially enigmatic team has lost to undisputed C-USA doormat Rice, but has dumped third-place Texas-El Paso by 18. And really, their three-loss streak looks respectable - triple overtime at Tulsa, by seven points at Memphis and by 10 at UTEP.
Herrion is 3-0 against the Cougars and coach James Dickey, including a first-round dismissal in the 2011 C-USA tournament. But he knows the dangers of selling the league's highest-scoring team (76.8 per game) short.
"They're a terrific offensive club," Herrion said. "They're explosive, they score from several positions - 3s and inside with [TaShawn] Thomas. They've got balance and a lot of weapons."
A lot of young weapons, too - their top five scorers consist of three sophomores (Joseph Young, Thomas, J.J. Thompson), one redshirt freshman (Jherrod Stiggers) and one true freshman (Danuel House). That's a solid multi-year core for the Cougars' move to a league that is losing its Big East moniker.
Back in C-USA, Young is a very close second in league scoring, trailing East Carolina's Maurice Kemp 17.769 to 17.760. Thomas is close to averaging a double-double with 16.7 points and 9.7 rebounds per game, and House averages 12.5 points.
House, a 6-foot-7, 195-pound forward, has been named the league's rookie of the week three times.
"He has lived up to his billing, and he's a good candidate for freshman of the year," Herrion said. "He's got good size on the wing, versatile, got a smooth shot. He shoots well enough you've got to guard him deep, and then he can take you to the rim."
Marshall (12-16, 5-8) will try to reverse its result of a week ago, a 52-48 home loss to Alabama-Birmingham. The Herd hasn't put together consecutive wins in three months, and hasn't done so against league foes since the 2012 C-USA tournament.
The Herd returns to finish its home season Tuesday against Southern Mississippi, then travels to East Carolina for the regular-season finale March 9.

What, Grudzelaniek with a day off?
John Buck continues to hammer that ball.
Not to mention Billy Butler. I love a leadoff homer.
It's time to change the closer back to Soria. Dotel has not been getting the job done!
Seriously…trade Dotel…Trade Brown, and get a guy who can hit more than 20 HRs a season…
Dotel's a little scary, gets wild, fires fatties when he's down in the count. I'd rather see Soria in there with a tight ninth, too.

Hi everyone
We're a small business of 11 users and I've migrated my mailbox from Exchange SBS 2003 to Zimbra using the Exchange Migration Wizard, which worked brilliantly. We're set up as a split domain at the moment.
I've been using the Ajax UI intensively over the past week and I love it. However the thought of training a couple of our users to use something new and different is pretty frightening so I was planning on having them use the Outlook Connector
Got some quick questions:
1) Is there a way to set it so that the user has to enter their password whenever they open Outlook?
When I'm in the ZCO settings I have to enter the password there and I can't set it to blank.
2) The RSS feed folders. It's a bit of a shame that they just appear as regular folders in Outlook, I know there's nothing that Zimbra can really do about that.
But is there any way to at least make them read-only through Outlook so that new items can't be dropped into them? That's the behaviour of the Ajax UI.
Cheers, B

So cute!!! <3
I got this for my brothers daughters first birthday and she loved it! The first thing she did was sit in it. Other than that it looks great in her play room. ^^ Totally recommended for that little diva you know. Only downside is theres not a big enough one for me. xD
Cute and compact
My daughter received this for her 2nd birthday and she absolutely loves it. It is sturdy enough for her to climb in and out of and lightweight enough for me to move around. It's a perfect size for her. I love that its compact and has the ottoman that can be taken out and put back in. My daughter calls it her meow chair. The quality is great and so easy to wipe clean. The colors are nice and so stylish.
Very cute!
I got this chair for my nieces first birthday. It was so adorable and she loved it so much. It shipped fast and came exactly on her birthday. It was perfect. I wish it were a little softer but other than that it was a good purchase !

Eh, you know how these threads go.
So here's my Suteki, built with love and mostly garbage. I wanted a bike that would fit me like a glove, be about as practical as can be and not attractive to theives. So I've put this bike together around early summer, but I've been changing stuff around a bit at a time and by now it's getting seriously good. One more thing it could use is a kickstand on the front wheel like on french mail bikes, because what happens is when the front is loaded the bike won't stand up on it's own. As is, 29.5Kgs light.
The rear rack is real tough and has plenty of surface so it's fairly comfortable to sit on, it's also got the sideways bar to tow other bikes with. There's an MTB barend on the seat tube so riders can hang onto, also a BMX peg on the non-drive side. The idea is I can give lifts to people with it, they sit amazon, Amsterdam style. One issue I have with this setup is that I can't use my axle mount trailer with it, I'm thinking modding the trailer wouldn't be so bad.
The handlebar has a friction shifter for the rings and a grip shift for the cogs, but it's a 7 speed shifter and there's 5 usable cogs, so first gear is 3. One of the front brake post braze ons has broken off so there's nothing attached to the front brake lever, the string keeps it from hitting my fingers over bumps. I'd like to find a front wheel Sturmey Archer brake hub. The other side has a throttle, but there's no motor on this bike yet, I've ordered one though. We shall see what it gives, if there's one bike that can use it this is it. the rear brake lever is pretty good, you can dial in the mechanical advantage you want. Rear brake is a Deore LX parallelogram V brake thing with cool stop MTB pads, ample power.
On the rear I've added a derailleur protector and dork disk, since I'm more interested in having it last then to have it be light. The smallest cog can't be used because the nut & bolt of the fenderstays is in the way. The biggest cog in the rear is a 28, the small ring is 32-34ish. This gearing is wrong for hauling serious loads uphill. If the proportions were kept equal, having the big rear cog bigger then the small ring would probably be about right.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- Qsymia, which may be the newest miracle diet drug burst onto the market today. It's the first drug in over a decade that could potentially result in substantial weight loss.
Approved in July by the FDA, prescription-only Qsymia could potentially result in a whopping 10 percent weight loss for those who take the pill. "We haven't had a drug really in thirteen years that has come out that is associated with more than just a few percentage points of weight loss," says Maryjain Hynes, M.D., a Weight Management Physician at the George Washington University Medical Faculty Associates. "This drug is associated with 10 percent weight loss, which for us, is a very big number."
What makes the drug work are two super ingredients that tackle weight loss: topamax, which creates an extra-full feeling after a meal, and phentermine, an appetite-curbing aid.
Those who have unsuccessfully attempted to lose weight have high hopes about this new drug. "I've had 2 or 3 patients who asked me when this drug was coming out. They were very excited about it. Particularly in those that have tried over and over again to lose weight without any success, and do not want to have gastric bypass as an alternative," says Dr. Hynes.
However, Qsymia is not for everyone. Women who may become pregnant are strongly advised not to take Qsymia, as the drug carries a serious risk of birth defects. But for women of child-bearing age who have previously had negative pregnancy test before and during the time they received treatment and use effective forms of birth control, Qsymia is safe to take.
In addition to taking the pill, those who hope to benefit from the maximum results of the pill should diet and exercise accordingly. "The hallmark of any good weight loss program is a good vegetable-based diet which means eating less than you normally eat and it means getting on some type of exercise program," says Hynes.

A graduate student who receives a combination of more than 8 credit hours of B- (2.7) or lower grades, or more than 4 credit hours of grades lower than C (2.0) is subject to dismissal. Dismissal may be recommended by the chair (or director) of the student's department to the college dean, or the college dean may request the action of the department chair, or action may be recommended by the college dean's designee.
When a department has determined that the number of in-progress (IP) or incomplete (IN) grades on a student's record indicates poor progress toward completion of a degree, it may recommend to the college dean dismissal of the student. In certain programs in which professional success depends upon factors other than those measured by normal evaluations in coursework, a department has the right to separate from the program a student who, in the opinion of a duly constituted departmental committee, is not likely to succeed professionally despite earning acceptable grades. Such programs, along with the factors involved, are listed with the college dean. Administrators of these programs will inform the student upon admission of the nature of the assessment and the process by which it is made. A student separated from such a program has the right to appeal the decision. Information on the process of appeal is available in the office of the college dean, appropriate academic offices and student services offices upon request.
In determining a graduate student's grade point average, all graduate courses required regularly by the program or specially by the student's advisor and attempted by the student while in a Kent State University graduate program are included in the computation. A change by a graduate student from one department or program to another does not eliminate the grades received under the first enrollment, which are computed in the student's grade point average. Graduate (but not undergraduate) courses taken by the student over and above those required for the student's program are included in the grade point average. GO TO TOP
All master's students must satisfactorily complete a minimum 30 semester credit hours applicable toward a master's degree in order to graduate. Some master's degree programs require more hours.
While the well-prepared doctoral candidate may expect to meet formal course requirements (exclusive of dissertation) for the doctoral program by completing a minimum of two years of full-time work beyond the baccalaureate, departments may require more extensive preparation where needed. In order to qualify for a doctoral degree, students must present a minimum of 90 semester hours beyond the bachelor's degree, or 60 hours beyond the master's degree. These hours may include registration for coursework, individual investigation or research courses and dissertation. Only work of high quality is approved for doctoral credit. GO TO TOP
A graduate student who has been dismissed from a graduate program normally may not be reinstated for work in the student's former program, or readmitted in any other program or coursework. However, after one year as a dismissed student, application for reinstatement or readmission may be made based upon evidence that former academic weaknesses have been appropriately addressed. If the pertinent department and the college dean agree that another opportunity should be provided, conditional admission will be granted. GO TO TOP
All students must demonstrate proficiency in both oral and written English, which is the language of graduate study at Kent State. Judgment of such competence rests with the appropriate major department. Deficiency in English is cause for dismissal from any graduate program.
There is no universal foreign language or research tool requirement. Individual departments or discipline areas may have specific requirements. Students should consult their individual departments. The appropriate languages are determined by the student's major department. Language requirements (if any) must be completed before doctoral students are admitted to candidacy. Special arrangements for examinations in other languages must be made by the student's major department in consultation with the chair of the Department of Modern and Classical Language Studies. Where required, the language examination used to establish a student's language proficiency is determined by the student's department. The examination may be a departmentally designed and administered test. Dates for departmentally administered tests are set by the department.
A series of courses has been instituted in French and German to develop "reading" proficiency in these languages. "Reading" proficiency in a foreign language is demonstrated when the student completes one of the following sequences with a minimum B (3.0) grade in each course of the sequence. Credit hours earned in this language sequence are not applicable toward the completion of the hour requirement in a student's graduate program and do not count toward the minimum 8-credit-hour semester load required.
- FR 63201Reading French for Graduate Students and FR 63202 Reading French for Graduate Students (Humanities/Social Sciences)
- GER 61901 Reading German for Graduate Students and GER 61902 Reading German for Graduate Students
All new graduate students holding graduate appointments will be required to attend and participate in an orientation program prior to the beginning of fall semester classes. Departments may also require attendance at departmental orientation meetings. GO TO TOP
Graduate students must register for courses at Kent State University within two years after the students' admission date to retain active status. Failing to do so, students must reapply, and all requirements in effect at the time of reapplication must be met. If students are unable to begin formal coursework during the term for which admission was originally granted, they must maintain current demographic information and academic transcripts at the admitting office at Kent State University and indicate the term in which they will register.
Master's degree students will normally complete work within six calendar years after the students' first graduate registration at Kent State University. Any credit being transferred for meeting degree requirements should also have been earned within the six-year period. Departments with time limits that vary from these norms will notify their students in writing.
It is expected that the doctoral degree students entering Kent State with a baccalaureate will complete the degree in no more than 10 years. Normally, doctoral degree students entering with a master's degree will complete the degree in no more than nine years. Students proceeding from the baccalaureate will normally pass the candidacy examination within five years, and students already possessing a master's degree will pass the candidacy examination within four calendar years of the first graduate registration at Kent State University. A doctoral candidate is expected to satisfactorily complete the dissertation and pass the final oral examination within five calendar years after having passed the candidacy examination. Individual disciplines may have shorter time limits, and specific program descriptions should be consulted.
When an extension of any of these time limits seems to be necessary and proper, the student and advisor will petition the student's department for an extension. The extension may be denied, in which case the student will be dismissed, or it may be granted with qualification. The student, advisor and college dean must be informed of the decision in writing. If the extension exceeds one year, the approval of the college dean is required. Requests for time extensions exceeding one year must be submitted to the college dean with evidence that the degree candidate is current in his/her field of study.
Upon receiving their graduate degree, students are inactivated and are no longer eligible to register for courses at Kent State University. If students wish to continue their studies at Kent State, they will need to reapply to the appropriate academic unit and be accepted for another graduate degree program or as a special non-degree student. GO TO TOP
A student may work simultaneously or sequentially on any of the following if the departments involved believe there is good reason for so doing and will admit the student to both programs:
- Master's degrees of two designations in one discipline
- Master's degrees of one or two designations in two disciplines
- A master's degree and a baccalaureate in two different disciplines
- Doctorates in two different disciplines
- Doctorate in one discipline and a master's or baccalaureate in another discipline
Persons having a doctorate will not be permitted to work on a second degree from the same department with a different emphasis.
Courses to be double counted shall be determined by the department(s), but in no case may the number of credits exceed 12 credits for the master's degree (except for the special cases listed below) or equivalent of a master's degree plus 12 credits for the doctorate. The appropriate college dean(s) involved shall be notified of these decisions.
- When one of the degrees is the Master of Fine Arts, a two-year degree, the courses to be double counted shall not exceed 26 credits.
- Students pursuing the Master of Business Administration and the Master of Science in Nursing degrees may double count a maximum of 28 credits.
- Students pursuing the Master of Business Administration and the Master of Library and Information Science degrees may double count a maximum of 28 credits.
- Students pursuing the Master of Science degree in Information Architecture and Knowledge Management and the Master of Arts degree in Journalism and Mass Communication may double count a maximum of 28 credits.
- Students pursuing the Master of Science degree in Information Architecture and Knowledge Management and the Master of Library and Information Science degree may double count a maximum of 28 credits.
In some departments all graduate students are required to take a qualifying examination. Each student should inquire of the major department whether such an examination is required and when it should be taken. The student is responsible for making the arrangements for taking the examination.Students working for a degree requiring a thesis may have their thesis topic approved as soon as they pass the qualifying examination. GO TO TOP
In some departments, an oral examination, open to the university community, may be required of candidates writing a thesis. When the thesis has been accepted by a student's advisor, the department will arrange for the oral examination.The college dean will be kept informed of the time and place of the examination and the composition of the examining committee. The results of the examination will be sent to the college dean for approval. This examination is directed primarily toward the thesis but may contain other topics with which the committee feels the candidate should be familiar. The committee usually consists of three to five graduate faculty members, the majority of whom must be associated with the student's program. GO TO TOP
The writing of an acceptable thesis is mandatory in certain master's degree programs. The thesis topic must be approved by the department and filed with the college dean no later than the semester preceding that in which the candidate expects to receive the degree. The thesis topic should be one that will further the student's educational development by developing research or other skills that will help the student keep abreast of the field and enable the student to pursue independent work. The thesis topic is formulated by the student in consultation with the advisor and submitted to the department for approval according to normal departmental procedures.
The thesis must be completed and in the hands of the examining committee no later than eight weeks before commencement. Some departments may demand an earlier deadline. After the thesis has been accepted by the examining committee and after the candidate has passed the oral examination (if required by the major department), two copies of the final, letter-perfect thesis are prepared and submitted to the appropriate college office. Two copies of an abstract of not more than 400 words are included with the copies of the thesis. Students should consult guidelines for preparation of theses and dissertations, which are available in the college offices.
Master's candidates have the option of submitting their thesis in electronic form instead of the paper format. Guidelines for creating electronic theses are found at the Kent State University Libraries electronic thesis or dissertation (ETD) website. Theses are submitted electronically through the OhioLINK ETD Center, where they are made publicly available. If this option is exercised, no paper copies are required for the University Libraries. Individual units may still require submission of a paper copy for their archives. It is the responsibility of the master's student to fulfill this requirement.
Each student writing a thesis is required to register continuously for Thesis I (6xx99) for a total of 6 credits. A student who has completed the required 6 hours of Thesis I is expected thereafter to register continuously for Thesis II (6xx99) each semester, including summer, until all degree requirements are met. No more than 6 hours of Thesis I credit may be counted toward completion of degree requirements.
The student should make certain that the topic has been approved and must register for thesis writing no later than the last semester the student is in residence. Grades of S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory) are used. GO TO TOP
The student will ordinarily observe the following procedure in order to be eligible for the doctoral degree:
- Indicate the intention to meet specifications of the departments concerned by applying for admission. The college or independent school and the department together will determine acceptability.
- Fulfill the credit requirements of the department in which the major work is done.
- Fulfill the residence requirements (if any).
- Satisfy the language or research tool requirements of the department.
- Pass the candidacy examinations in the major field (if any).
- Carry out a suitable scholarly research or creative program.
- Write a dissertation that shows high attainment and creativity
- Successfully defend the findings of the dissertation in public before a committee of the graduate faculty.
- Have registered for a minimum of 90 semester credits beyond the bachelor's degree, or 60 credits beyond the master's degree (registration for thesis, dissertation and research may be included in this total).
A student who has been admitted to and is currently pursuing a doctoral degree may apply for a master's degree in the same department in which the doctorate is to be taken. Upon certification that the student has met the requirements for the master's degree in that department, the degree may be awarded. The total number of graduate hours required for the Ph.D. shall not be altered thereby. GO TO TOP
To become a candidate for the doctorate, a student must pass a candidacy (comprehensive) examination in the field of the major subject. This examination will be taken when departmental requirements have been met, but it should not be taken later than nine months before the student expects to receive the degree. The content and scope of the examination are determined by the department concerned. The examination may be either written or oral or both. The student is not permitted to continue with the dissertation unless this requirement is satisfied. Failure on the candidacy examination and a subsequent prescription and reexamination are subject to departmental policy. When opportunities for such reexamination are exhausted without success, the student will be dismissed from graduate study. GO TO TOP
A dissertation is required of each doctoral candidate in any department offering the doctoral degree. The dissertation topic must be approved by the department and filed with the college dean no later than one semester preceding that in which the candidate expects to receive the degree. Each graduate unit has adopted a procedure for the preparation of a dissertation prospectus. This document will normally include an outline of the parameters of the projected dissertation topic with a statement of the problem to be undertaken, the procedure or
methodology to be used in the research, a preliminary review of the literature substantiating the need for the study, and the principle sources of information for the dissertation. The prospectus must be in writing, but an oral presentation may also be required.
Each doctoral candidate, upon admission to candidacy, must register for Dissertation (8xx99) for a total of 30 hours. It is expected that a doctoral candidate will continuously register for Dissertation I, and thereafter Dissertation II, each semester, including summer, until all requirements for the degree have been met. The IP (in progress) grade is used until the student completes the dissertation at which time all IP grades in dissertation are changed to S (satisfactory) grades. The dissertation must demonstrate that the student has acquired the ability to conduct research in a discriminating and original manner. The dissertation should make a significant enough contribution to the field in which it is written that at least one scholarly article suitable for publication in a professional journal may be derived from it or that the findings of the dissertation would be otherwise publishable.
After the dissertation, typed in legible form, is accepted by the dissertation advisor, it will be read by the student's dissertation committee, and any recommended revisions will be communicated to the student. Upon completion of the revisions, if any, the student will be required to defend the findings before a committee of graduate faculty members, including the dissertation committee and others chosen by the department and college dean. The responsibility for conducting the examination itself will be that of an impartial moderator selected from a department other than that of the student's major or minor. The defense of the dissertation is open to the university community. Questioning is restricted to members of the graduate faculty, and the vote of the examining committee will be conducted in private.
After the candidate has passed the oral examination, the doctoral candidates will submit their dissertation in electronic form. The dissertation will also include an abstract of no more than 350 words. Information on the process may be found on the University Libraries' Guidelines for the Preparation of Electronic Theses and Dissertations website. Theses and dissertations must be prepared according to established guidelines. Guidelines for preparation and typing of theses and dissertations are available in the college office.
Dissertations submitted electronically are available through the OhioLINK ETD Center. Individual units may still require submission of a paper copy for their archives. It is the responsibility of the doctoral student to fulfill this requirement.
All dissertations must be published according to a plan provided by ProQuest Information and Learning, Ann Arbor, Michigan, for the purposes of archiving, indexing, and dissemination. All communications and relations between faculty or students and ProQuest shall be carried out only through the Kent State University librarian. Publication of the complete dissertation or significant parts of it through other avenues is expected, but this is not to be used in lieu of the requirement stated herein. GO TO TOP
A doctoral student will be allowed, with the consent of the advisor and of the instructor concerned, to enroll in any course offered at Kent State University. GO TO TOP
Deadlines are established for filing theses, dissertations, applications for graduation and similar actions initiated by graduate students. Exact dates of the various deadlines will vary somewhat from year to year and are published on the Office of the University Registrar website and in the colleges' web pages as well as the University's Catalog Academic Calendar website. It is the responsibility of each graduate student to be familiar with the deadlines. GO TO TOP
For the reproduction of theses and dissertations, a student must submit two suitable copies in partial fulfillment of degree requirements. Suitable copies are described in the guidelines and instructions for typing theses and dissertations. Guidelines may be obtained at the office of the student's graduate dean.Students should consult this document for typing instructions. This requirement is waived for doctoral and master's students choosing the option of electronic submission of their dissertation. GO TO TOP

15 Hypoallergenic Dogs and Cats
Hypoallergenic or Hype?
If you love animals but hate allergies, you may be tempted to spring for a pricey hypoallergenic pet.
Not so fast. Studies suggest hypoallergenic cats and dogs can cause just as many symptoms as the regular kind, says James Seltzer, MD, a spokesperson for the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. That's because skin and saliva proteins, not just hair, trigger allergy symptoms.
The only pets proven to be hypoallergenic have scaly skin—like iguanas and snakes, he says. That said, if you're dead set on a furry pet, here are a few that are toutedbut not provento be better for people with allergies.

Imagine a world where the rich and powerful are at your beck and call, offers of wealth and power could be available to you on a daily basis, everyone is interested in what you say and do and how it will affect their interests, sounds too good to be true, it is.
The downside of being a government minister is that you will fail your democratic mandate and fall in flames, the long-term successful politician is as rare as a live unicorn, they just don't exist. Yes you may have a coterie of supplicants who tell you how great you are, just don't read the papers for the rest of your life or switch on the news and you can content yourself that all is well. Even if you do reasonably well against the tide of bureaucracy and inertia the smallest misplaced remark will leave you subject to public ridicule, or your party will self-immolate and you will be replaced by another willing to sacrifice themselves on the altar of so-called public service. This is the scant reward of the few, the small percentage of the most lucky politicians.
Enter now the lobby system, the domain of the worlds most powerful corporations and pressure groups, the biggest companies the biggest charities have something you may be interested in. The price? a small thing, hardly a trifle, a legal term changed here, a bill delayed there, almost nothing really. The reward, a nudge and a wink, a directorship maybe, not now of course, but later when you have given all to public service a chance to get some recompense for all your hard work, or maybe just a few comments for you of high regard, you can be known as a friend of business, or even a friend of the environmentalists. Why not? What harm can it possibly do? What about a few mega-casinos? They'll create jobs you know and a little of that extra cash could go towards helping those party funds, so needed in these difficult times. How about supporting that road safety charity? What about that medical support group? A little help for that union? They are only there to help the workers. We need more jobs, what about a little tax break for this or that business?
Surely that's the job of a minister you say? to stay well informed listen to those in the know, take advice from those who haven't been in politics all their life?
Consider instead your own access to that minister, if the government messes up your business, makes a decision which affects the care your relative so desperately needs, places a wind farm at the end of your garden, runs a motorway past your house, gives a valuable contract to the German firm what can you do about it? Do you have the funds to employ a 'respected' lobbyist, are you aware what legislation is coming next so you can head it off at the pass, of course not, you don't have the time or the contacts.
With the overwhelming question, this weekend, of how ministers keep their personal and private lives separate there is the elephant in the room. Isn't it time for this government to legislate against a system, used only by the rich and powerful, giving money and favours, to gain changes in the law and the prosecution of it for their own benefit? I think so.

No Job Interviews at the APA Central!
Publication Date for volume 185 of Jobs for Philosophers: February 19th.
Still no statement from the APA about this.
13 comments:
As a life-long member of Central, I'm particularly pissed. And not in that good way.
- June 28, 2009 at 7:21 PM
Didn't they do this last year?
- June 29, 2009 at 4:37 AM
Paper copies of JFP are a relic anyway. Last-minute recruitments can be announced on the APA web site in January, in time for search committees to review applications and invite finalists for interviews in Chicago in February. Anybody seriously looking for work is likely checking those APA web listings anyway. The fuss people are making over an outdated print document is truly puzzling.

If you're arguing that the print JFP is a waste of money, you're right. As I've said before, the entire JFP operation could be done with a nicely-designed website (somethign the APA seems incapable of).
But part of the reason why one should make a fuss is that many institutions' EEO statements do not provide for web-based dissemination of adverts. Print vehicles (like JFP) are in many cases *necessary* in order to meet the legal requirements.
Also worth lamenting is that the APA has to date made no comment about this (for many) massive and disturbing shift in the way the job market is run.
- June 29, 2009 at 12:39 PM
For institutions that require print publication, an ad in the Chronicle meets that requirement, and a great many colleges and universities are already running duplicate ads in the Chronicle and JFP. Job-seekers should be checking the free on-line job listings at the Chronicle anyway, as some schools announce their jobs only at the Chronicle (e.g., community colleges and smaller schools with very limited budgets). The Chronicle also has a free e-mail notification system for job-hunters that will alert them to any new listings in their specialty.
All the professional societies are hurting right now. With the collapse of the job market, they will earn less ad revenue for job postings. With the drastic cut-backs in faculty travel funds, the attendance at professional meetings is dropping. With publishers hurting, they are spending less on exhibition space at the professional meetings. This is true across academia, not just in philosophy. Fretting over a print February JFP that costs real money for printing and postage and serves no real purpose seems silly.
- June 29, 2009 at 1:04 PM
I thought the Central was purposely moved in order to accommodate interviewing.
- June 29, 2009 at 2:42 PM

Anon 1:04:
The APA is not declining to publish and mail a February JFP. It's going to publish and mail it at a time which makes it useless, at least as far as the Central meetings go. If the print JFP is, as you say, useless/superfluous under the best conditions, then you should be lamenting along with me, since they're printing and mailing a useless document under conditions that make it even *more* useless.
Here's where things are: There used to be three occasions on which job seekers could interview at an APA meeting for a job in philosophy; those three occasions were coordinated with the publication of JFP. Now the coordination has been abandoned (note that in 2010 there will be a JFP issue that comes out *after* the Pacific!). This will no doubt change how one looks for a job in Philosophy: at the very least, the APA now no longer provides the crucial service of producing a single document for the Philo job seeker, and it no longer provides the forum for the standard Philo first interview.
And maybe these are all good things. But the point is that the APA has changed (perhaps intentionally, perhaps not) the nature of the typical academic job market in Philosophy, and they've said *nothing* about it.
- June 29, 2009 at 4:05 PM
Central changed for several reasons. One was that it was so late in the year, some schools were already into exams and commencement. A second was that it was often so close to Pacific on the calendar that it made it even more difficult for people to get to both than it is now.
Pacific almost always meets during Easter week to get better hotel rates, so it jumps around (late March in 2010, late April in 2011, e.g.).
Perhaps there was a time long ago when the publishing schedule of JFP was coordination with interviewing opportunities at APA meetings, but much has changed, including the wide availability of web ads as a more timely substitute and the use of telephone and video-cam interviews.
Even last year many schools cancelled Eastern interviews because they couldn't afford the travel costs for their interviewers. With the economy in meltdown nationwide, the job market could be even worse next year than last. A print JFP isn't going to help that one iota.

Anon 5:11:
You say, "A print JFP isn't going to help that one iota."
No one's arguing for print JFP. The argument is that if there's going to be a print JFP, it should be published in a way that coordinates with the meetings so that there could be a venue for job interviews in a central geographical location. Given the bad economic times you mention, the APA should be doing more for its job-seeking members.
- June 29, 2009 at 5:17 PM
Two things that always must be kept in mind when criticizing the APA. 1) The dues and conference attendance fees are lower, often _much_ lower, than many, perhaps, most, similar professional organizations. (The PSA, in the UK, for example, charges more for a student membership than most people pay for full member dues for the APA, and has higher conference attendance fees, too. To attend a AALS meeting it's something $600.) To some degree, at least, you get what you pay for. The organizational structure is very bad, but it's the members that have kept it from getting better. The central office has little power or control- that's mostly held by the divisions, who don't regularly coordinate. When the central office tried to have more central control, as was suggested by outside consultants, the executive director was fired. The real power is with the division officers, people elected by the members on the basis of their philosophical achievements, primarily. Unfortunately, philosophical achievement and organizational ability are not always strongly coordinated. Given these facts I'm generally surprised that the APA works as well as it does.
- June 29, 2009 at 5:20 PM
Replace the organisational members of the APA with the organisational members of assorted undergraduate Philosophy Clubs. I guarantee you the undergrads could run it better.

I´ve installed BES 5.0 on a W200864 bits and ZCS Connector.
According to the documentation, I´ve created 2 profiles: BlackBerryServer and BlackBerryServer_MailStorageProfile and in "Server Name" my config is: 192.168.1.55:7071, then "Secure connection" and the proper configuration of an admin account.
The issue is that when starting to create users, BES cant see existing users in Zimbra.
And in Windows 2008, Outlook can´t see Contact List (or GAL) neither.
Any idea?
