Doctor of Philosophy
The Doctor of Philosophy Degree is offered in the College of Communication and Information and is interdisciplonary in nature.
Communication Studies
The School of Communication Studies offers programs of graduate study leading to the Master of Arts degree.The M.A. degree program is intended to provide a broadspectrum of knowledge about human communication. It is intended for those who wish to continue graduate studyin communication beyond the master's level, to teach atthe secondary, community college or small-college level, to continue preparation for professional careers, or to prepare for nonacademic careers in which a broad understanding ofcommunication theory and research is desirable.
The M.A. program focuses on the social and behavioral study of communication theory and research. Students maypursue work in health, instructional, interpersonal, mediated,organizational, mass and public communication, and new technologies/social informatics.For more information, visit the school's Web site at http://www.kent.edu/comm.
For additional studies beyond the M.A. degree, refer to theCCI PhD program description.
Information Architecture and Knowledge Management
The Master of Science degree in Information Architecture and Knowledge Management (IAKM) is an interdisciplinary degree that provides opportunities for students interested in graduate studies and research in the broad range of information-related disciplines and professions. The program rests on a set of core courses that provide a broad and solid foundation for specialized work in these three concentrations:
- Health Information Management
- Knowledge Management
- User Experience Design
Through these concentrations the program offers focus and flexibility for students to fashion a course of study that suits their interests and career objectives. This flexibility is essential to the nature of the program because of the transdisciplinary character of information, the emerging and evolving roles for information professionals, and the rapid and dynamic growth of information technologies, products, systems, services and networks. The major faculties contributing to the degree are the:
- School of Communication Studies
- Department of Computer Science
- School of Journalism and Mass Communication
- School of Library and Information Science
- Graduate School of Management
- School of Visual Communication Design
While information architecture and knowledge management have emerged as fields of study and career concentrations, their use in the degree title is intended to designate significant points on a spectrum of current and emerging information and knowledge professions and to draw upon and balance the strengths of the participating disciplines.
As a new career path surfaces, IAKM works to develop curriculum to meet its demands. The current options for study in IAKM reflect the current needs in the professional landscape with concentrations in Health Information Management (HIM), Knowledge Management (KM), and User Experience Design (UXD). Health information management sets standards for electronic health records, facilitates the rapid evolution from paper-based to electronic records and the integration of hospital, patient, and physician systems. Knowledge management is a discipline that turns an organization's intellectual assets, including its recorded information, its memory, and the expertise of its employees into greater productivity and increased competitiveness. User Experience
Design involves the use of information architecture and interaction design to create a user experience that helps information seekers solve their information needs efficiently and effectively, primarily in web-based environments, but also through emerging technologies. For more detailed information on health information management, knowledge management, and user experience design in IAKM, visit the Web site at http://iakm.kent.edu.
Journalism and Mass Communication
The School of Journalism and Mass Communication offers professionally oriented graduate study in Journalism and Mass Communication and public relations leading to the Master of Arts degree. This program prepares students for careers in a multi-platform media marketplace characterized by free enterprise and freedom of expression.
The Reporting/Editing concentration allows students to select from these options:
- Convergence
- Journalism Education
- Broadcast
- Magazine
- Newspaper
The public relations and media management concentrations are designed primarily for students with professional media experience who desire to move into PR or management positions. For those with strong professional backgrounds, an individualized program of study is also available. The degree program is designed to provide professional preparation and enhancement both for students who have undergraduate degrees and/or professional experience in journalism and mass communication and those without
such background and experience. While the emphasis of the program is professional, students who wish to structure their M.A. program to provide a foundation for future study of journalism and mass communication at the doctoral level may do so by completing a thesis as the capstone requirement.
Information on the program and on application procedures is available from the Coordinator of Graduate Studies, School of Journalism and Mass Communication or by visiting the School's Web site at http://www.jmc.kent.edu.Multiple Degrees Option
Students can concurrently pursue the Master of Arts in Journalism and Mass Communication and the Master of Science in Information Architecture and Knowledge Management. Each program makes an independent admission decision. If approved for admission by both the program and the school, students may doubly count up to 28 credits for each degree. For further information about the master's program in Information Architecture and Knowledge Management, see the Information Architecture and Knowledge Management section of the catalog.
Library and Information Science
The school offers a graduate program, accredited by the American Library Association, which leads to a Master of Library and Information Science (M.L.I.S.) degree. An American Library Association-accredited master's degree is the basic requirement for professional employment in most libraries and information centers.
The School of Library and Information Science (S.L.I.S) prepares students for positions of leadership in librarianship and the information professions. The master's and advanced certificate programs emphasize the preparation of students for professional service in academic, public, special and school libraries and other types of information agencies.
For more information about the School of Library and Information Science, prospective students may request an information packet by contacting the School of Library and nformation Science or by visiting the school's web site at http://www.slis.kent.edu.

Compatriots Yanina Wickmayer + Xavier Malisse were both handed shocking one-year bans today by the Flemish Doping Tribunal after both Belgian ballers violated doping regulations.
The U.S. Open semifinalist, who is currently in Bali competing in the Tournament of Champions, is reportedly being accused of failing to fulfill the ADAMS (Anti-Doping Administration and Management System) three times. Under this WADA policy ballers must notify their national anti-doping officials about their whereabouts for one hour every day over a 3-month period. The X-Man was accused of missing required drug tests and was therefore handed the ban.
Both ballers can appeal the ruling.
I'm curious to hear their explanations, particularly Wicky's reasons for failing to report her whereabouts three times. It's a tough measure but a one-year suspension seems pretty harsh. As for The X-Man, it seems he missed actual tests which is a whole, different story. His ban isn't so surprising in this case. It looks like they're viewing both offenses as being equal, however. Interesting.
On another note, I wonder if Andre Agassi's recent revelation that he lied to the ATP about a positive drug test and escaped punishment in 1997 is playing out here in any way. Are they possibly setting an example with the two Belgians?
UPDATE: Wicky has voluntarily withdrawn from Bali and is planning an appeal.

I believe Wiki said she was having trouble with her log in. These bans do seem somewhat arbitrary and unfair considering the difference in severity of the incidents.ReplyDelete
Absolute bull crap.ReplyDelete
These players need to go on strike!
well, at least there will be 2 other Belgian ballers to replace them (see: Kim and Justine)ReplyDelete
Although it is sad because Wicky had a breakthrough tourney at the USOpen....
"well, at least there will be 2 other Belgian ballers to replace them (see: Kim and Justine)"ReplyDelete
That is SO far from the point ddemed!
haha, it was supposed to be sarcastic Monica! lolReplyDelete
but anyways, this suspension is quite harsh!
Insanity. And it's not likely to stop any time soon. Gasquet is damn lucky he got out before the Agassi book hit, otherwise we wouldn't be seeing him until 2011.ReplyDelete
I'm really quite sad for Wicky. They pulled her out of her tournament.
- AnonymousNovember 6, 2009 at 5:09 AM
I feel so bad for Wicky! Especially after hearing her story about her dad giving up everything to move to the US for her to play tennis after her mum died! You know, it's finally paying off then all of the sudden, suspension.ReplyDelete
I think one year is way too harsh for her. A heavy fine or something should be more fitting for a situation where she hasn't even been proved to be doping.
- Tennis ObserverNovember 6, 2009 at 5:47 AM
They got what they deserved! At least now they can grab some meth from Agassi, it doesn't matter anymore.ReplyDelete

US and European space agencies to fly humans far into deep space
Newscast Media WASHINGTON, D.C.—NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) are working together to build a spacecraft that will take a human crew farther into space than ever before. The two agencies finalized an agreement for ESA to provide Orion, NASA's spacecraft for human exploration, with a module performing critical functions such as propulsion, power generation and storage of crew supplies.
Officials from both agencies talked to reporters about the mission in a news conference January 16 at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. NASA Orion Program Manager Mark Geyer said the mission will build on the cooperative multinational space activities that have taken place on the International Space Station.
"A lot of the same experts are working on both sides," said Geyer. "We get to apply that to this great exploration mission."
The Orion crew module, being built by NASA, is set for its first test flight in 2014. An uncrewed flight is planned beyond Earth orbit in 2017. The first crew is set to journey into space on Orion by 2021, according to the long-range plan prepared by the U.S. space agency.
Human space flight has not gone beyond low-Earth orbit since the end of the Apollo program, which put the first humans on the moon but ended in 1972. Thomas Reiter, ESA director of human spaceflight and operations, was also on the Houston panel. He said the collaboration between the two space agencies is no mere gesture of political convenience, but an opportunity "to exploit synergies that have been developed in the past and that can be beneficial for reaching common objectives."
William Gerstenmaier, NASA associate administrator for human exploration, said the work ahead will be "difficult and complicated," but also "inspiring."
While engineers and technicians are working to build the hardware that will propel a crew into space and sustain it there, discussions are still under way about exactly where the crew may be going. Another visit to an unexplored part of the moon, a voyage to an asteroid and, eventually, a trip to Mars are all being considered. Gerstenmaier and the engineering staff are not troubled that the destination is still unclear.
"We're building a system that will allow us to go explore [multiple destinations]," he said. "We want a system that can actually push human presence out into the solar system and allow us to go to these different destinations."
From an engineering standpoint, Gerstenmaier said, scientists already know the demands that will be put on the Orion spacecraft and the capabilities that must be built into the craft: the load it can carry, the fuel it will need, and the supplies and resources that must be built into the mission to sustain a crew on a long-term mission.
As the NASA-ESA team works toward the 2017 flight deadline, progress is being made on a number of individual spacecraft components and systems. Geyer said several of these are set for completion in 2013 to be handed over to the team responsible for incorporating them into the launch vehicle.

MIAMI (WUSA9) -- On the fourth day of deliberations, a South Florida jury reached a verdict in the case of a man accused of fatally shooting Washington Redskins star Sean Taylor.
The jury has found Eric Rivera Jr. of Fort Myers guilty of Second Degree Murder. Rivera Jr. was also found guilty of Burglary of a Dwelling.
Rivera Jr. is set to be sentenced on December 10 in a Florida courtroom.
He faced life in prison if convicted of killing Taylor during a botched November 2007 burglary at the player's Miami-area home.
Rivera confessed to police on videotape that he shot Taylor after kicking in a bedroom door, but he later said in court that investigators coerced his confession. He also claimed someone else shot Taylor.
Four other men were charged in the case. One has pleaded guilty and the others will stand trial later.

It does make sense for riding. I wear engineer style boots and did put the jeans inside until I got my Hood kevlar lined bike jeans (recommended) - heavy duty and hard to tuck inside the boots until they start wearing in a bit. Either way, I'm allegedly bullet proof from the waist down

12:00 to 13:00: How Research can inform the Green Economy Transition - Discussion tables with EU-funded project officers
18 Jun 2012 - 18 Jun 2012The role of cooperative scientific research is vital to inform the green economy discussion. This event is part of joint EC-UNEP series, starting in Brussels, that will exhibit the important link between research and green economy via a series of events that aim to extract general lessons learned from specific outcomes of FP6/7 projects at EU and international cooperative levels.
Athletes Park, UNEP Pavilion
Athletes Park, UNEP Pavilion
This specific event will take the form of five separate discussion tables. Each discussion will begin with a presentation from an EU-funded FP6/7 project manager on the outcomes of their specific project. Participants will then apply a series of questions to these outcomes. Each table will be supplied a list of questions based on previous event conclusions on how research can best inform green economy policies. With the help of a moderator, the outcome of these discussion groups will be 1-3 key messages per table. These messages will be based on a group consensus as to how the project outcomes can be translated into a global context.

Jorge Santiago quickly realized he'd messed up in his return to the octagon.
"It took me like a half-hour," he today told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "Soon as I left the ring, I was like, '[Expletive].' That wasn't me."
Santiago's thoughts came in the late hours of May 30 as the main card of UFC 130 got into full swing. He had fallen to Brian Stann's punches in the second round, which deflated a wave of hype that brought him back to the UFC after a five-year absence.
The following weekend, Santiago was back at the gym training. He wanted to get back in the cage as soon as possible.
"I asked my manager (to) get me a fight," he said. "I know I can fight the way I used to fight, and I want to prove that I can do it."
In his time outside the UFC, Santiago had rebuilt his career into one of a hot prospect after a tepid 1-2 stint in the industry-leading promotion. Fighting for such promotions as Strikeforce and World Victory Road/Sengoku, he went 11-1 and won the Sengoku middleweight title while defending it on two occasions. When Sengoku ran low in cash early this year, he capitalized on his recent success and vacated his belt for a UFC contract.
After his loss to Stann, he was back in the mix of middleweights trying to break into the top 10.
Now, Santiago (23-9 MMA, 1-3 UFC) has a chance to get back on the right foot. On Saturday at UFC 136, which takes place at Houston's Toyota Center, he meets onetime title challenger Demian Maia (14-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC), who's coming off a loss to Mark Munoz that delayed a second title shot. Maia, of course, is a world-renowned submission artist who's diligently worked to bring his standup to par with his grappling.
Santiago vs. Maia airs live on Spike TV as part of a two-bout card set for the cable channel. Other preliminary action streams live on Facebook. As usual, main-card action airs live on pay-per-view.
Tacticians might be screaming for Santiago to stay off the ground since he brings more experience to the standup portion of the fight. But that doesn't sit well with the former champ.
"I will play the jiu-jitsu game on the ground," Santiago said. "But don't forget one thing: This is mixed martial arts. So I'm going to try to ground and pound him. It's like whatever comes up, we're going to go for it. I'm not afraid to go to the ground and do jiu-jitsu with him."
Santiago said he'll try to confuse Maia with a combination of striking and grappling to swing momentum in his favor, and in doing so, get that career train rolling again.
So despite all the hoopla for UFC 136, which is the first pay-per-view in some time to feature two title fights, Santiago is single-minded. Next time he walks out of the cage, it will be to the cheers of many.
"I'm just trying to focus on myself," he said. "That's where all my confidence came for this fight."

Buffalo steps up in class for Best of the Best
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Buffalo coach Darrell Moore is banking on the Best of the Best Softball Classic to help shore up some of his team's deficiencies this weekend.The 15th annual event at the Buffalo Softball Complex, which features 18 teams, begins today with Class A pool play and resumes Friday with a combined Class AAA-AA field. The three-game pool play continues Saturday, then the top four teams in Class A and the top six in AAA-AA advance to single-elimination finals. The Class A championship is set for 4 p.m. Saturday while AAA-AA is 8 p.m.
Moore elected to have the Bison, the two-time defending state champion in Class A and current No. 1, compete in the AAA-AA bracket for added competition.
"We're trying to find some consistency in our outfield,'' said the Buffalo coach. "We're struggling a lot to fill the positions we lost last year.
"This is a good challenge for us. We need a couple of kids to step up for us. We haven't gotten that yet. We're hoping this tournament does that for us. Playing the competition we're playing should help us a lot.''
Moore, who is also the tournament director, said there weren't enough AA teams for a full field this year since several of those schools moved up to AAA this past fall, so he decided to combine the two classes.
The 12-team AAA-AA field includes seven state-ranked teams and several others that received votes in this week's state sports writers' poll.
No. 2 Cabell Midland, No. 3 Lincoln County, No. 5 Hurricane and No. 8 Shady Spring are the top-10 schools in AAA while No. 9 Scott and No. 10 Sissonville are ranked in AA. In AAA, Logan received votes in the latest poll while Chapmanville and Nicholas County also did so in AA.
The six-team Class A field features No. 4 Sherman and No. 10 St. Marys while Man, a perennial power, received votes in the poll.
"It's going to be a great tournament,'' Moore said. " There's no better softball than what you're going to see Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It's the best in the state.''
Leah Amico, a three-time Olympic softball gold medalist (1996, 2000 and 2004) with Team USA will sign autographs at 4 p.m. and be a guest speaker at 7:30 tonight. Amico helped Arizona to three NCAA national championships. ... Admission is $5 for all day each day of the tournament.

I just need to check the liner of my swimming pool occasionally, and I know nothing about diving. Would this work, and what other equipment would I need?
I am getting a precharged air rifle that can be charged via scuba tanks. Will I be able to get it filled without a divers certificate? Do the dive shops use dry air, moisture can cause problems with air guns?
Hello Dan, if you take this tank to be filled at your local dive shop they will be asking for a dive certificate card. Now you can try and talk with your dive shop that you will be using this for an air rifle. But that would be up to the dive shop or not. Also this is compressed air is a dry air.
TANKS & VALVES: Sherwood Valve
The most used valve in diving. The critical link between your regulator and tank, our patented Sherwood valve was designed specifically to handle today's high-performance regulators.
Aluminum Tanks
Aluminum tanks are cost efficient, long lasting, and readily available, which is why they are easily the most common scuba diving tanks in the world. Lighter than steel tanks, aluminum dive tanks are easier to transport and swim with, giving your shoulders and arms a break on long treks.
Because of their light weight, some aluminum tanks will begin to float at the end of a dive, once the oxygen supply is nearly depleted. To combat this, it's common to counter-weight an aluminum dive tank with approximately 4 pounds. However, 'Compact Neutral' aluminum tanks are made with thicker walls, which increase the weight and help to counteract the positive buoyancy problems at the end of a long dive.

VATICAN CITY (WUSA9) -- On the eve of Conclave 2013 the staff for the Sistine Chapel was put under oath. In a ceremony they had to promise not to speak about anything they see or hear in the Sistine Chapel once the Cardinals begin the conclave.
Not far from the Sistine Chapel a group of men from the DC area will be watching anxiously for the outcome. They are preparing for the priesthood. Studying at the North American College in Rome. WUSA9's Bruce Johnson talked with these seminarians about celibacy, women as priests and the sex abuse scandal that has rocked the Catholic church.
According to Catholic Church records 480 men were ordained priests last year in the United States. That compares to nearly 1,000 ordinations 50 years ago.
In 1965 there were 549 parishes in the United States with no resident priest. By last year that number had grown to nearly 4,000 parishes without a resident priest.

McKinney, TX (Sports Network) - Justin Hicks fired a 2-under-par 69 on
Friday to secure sole possession of the lead after two rounds of the season-
ending Web.com Tour Championship.
The top 60 players are in the field this week, but only the top 25 on the
money list at the tournament's conclusion will earn PGA Tour cards for 2013
Hicks, one of six overnight leaders, sits at 8-under 134 after two rounds and
has already secured his PGA Tour card for next season. At No. 11 on the money
list, he is still seeking his first Web.com Tour win of the year despite
producing nine top-10 finishes and 13 top-25 results.
Brad Fritsch and Justin Bolli were among the Day 1 leaders, but both golfers
carded a 71 on Friday to fall into a tie for second place. The former is 21st
on the money list, while the latter is 44th and will need to turn in a strong
performance the rest of the weekend to earn his card.
Hicks made the turn at 1-under, then recorded eight straight pars, allowing
Fritsch to pull within a shot with a birdie on the par-3 15th.
Fritsch, who is attempting to reach the PGA Tour for the first time in his
career, finished with a trio of pars, while Hicks rattled home a birdie on the
last to move two strokes clear.
Another Thursday leader, Michael Putnam, sits 30th on the money list and is
tied for fourth place with last week's Jacksonville Open winner Russell
Henley, James Hahn and Scott Gardiner at 5-under 137.
Henley (3), Hahn (13) and Gardiner (14) all reside within the top-25 in
On the other end of the spectrum, bubble-watch candidate Camilo Benedetti sits
near the bottom of the leaderboard at 3-over. The Columbian will need to make
a significant charge in order to maintain his No. 25 money-list ranking.
On the outside looking in at No. 26 and $287 behind Benedetti is Doug LaBelle
II, who sits at 1-under 141.
The Web.com Tour Championship offers the largest purse of the season at $1
million; affording PGA hopefuls a significant opportunity to improve their
money-list standings.
First place for the tournament garners $180,000, second place takes home
$108,000 and third place earns $68,000.
NOTES: Money-list No. 1 Casey Wittenberg shot 71 on Friday. He is tied for
14th place with two others at 3-under...Tag Ridings, No. 51 on the money list,
held a share of the first-round lead, but shot 73 on Friday to fall into a tie
for eighth place at 4-under...Every winner this season on the Web.com Tour is
in the field this week. Wittenberg, Luke Guthrie, Henley, Shawn Stefani and
Ben Kohles are the only players with two tour wins this season.

I had this idea for inexpensive, functional grocery panniers for my bike. I just got done constructing them and they seem to be holding up really well!
It seems like every grocery store is now offering those reusable grocery bags. Turns out they can be easily reconfigured into some panniers!
The materials are really simple:
- 2 reusable grocery bags
- 1/4" thick 2'x4' piece of masonite (or "hardboard" at Home Depot; same stuff used for clipboards)
- 1 bungee cord
I got my bags from Kroger. Other possible places include Target, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Meijer, Walmart, Publix, and Ikea. They also make insulated ones which would be great for refrigerated items.
Tip: You can get a piece of the wood deeply discounted if you look for one that's damaged. This one was $2, normally $3.75.
Cut some of the wood to fit into the bags:
I stapled the wood inside the bags to keep them in place.
Then cut two of the handles in the middle:
Sew the bags together:
Then, throw them over your bike rack!
Use a bungee to keep them in place, and voila! You have lightweight panniers that fold down flat and that you can take into the store with you!
I loaded up the panniers with random items to test them out and they work great! I'll go do some shopping tomorrow so I can use them for real! Sure beats paying $50+ for ones from the bike shop.

Read on to see how much this baby on the way wedding cost and to hear some of Kate's bartering tips. Please note that costs change as the years go by, and prices are subject to change. This is just one couple's breakdown to give you a rough estimate on how much a wedding like this may cost you
Budget Breakdown:
Shaker Museum: $2500

Cake: $200
Dress: $2100
Shoes: $170 & $270
Veil: gift from my friend
Ties: $25 each

Headpiece: $100

Flower Girl's Dress: $80
Bridesmaid's Clutches and Wraps: $17 each
BHLDN earrings: roughly $70
Makeup: $50
As a photographer, I absolutely recommend prioritizing the photography in your budget - this is the one product you'll get to keep after the wedding, and you don't get a second chance. I loved working with Meg. She did an outstanding job and we adore our photos! We did barter with her for that rate.
Shaker Museum:
We deliberately waited for the off-season for our wedding, partly because that's when my weddings drop off, and partly because we wanted to save money for the budget on the off-season rates. you can get some incredible bargains that way!
My good friend, bridesmaid and professional florist Janessa gifted me most of the cost of the flowers. We definitely saved money by staying in-season with the blooms, with me providing the vases and containers (I had a lot at home, we picked up some inexpensive antique store finds, and also my grandmother gave us some beautiful vessels and tea cups that had so much meaning to us), and by doing simple table arrangements featuring small bottles with individual blooms. We also supplemented the tablescapes with old, interesting books from our own collection. Free and visually interesting!
Another barter situation. I'll be doing photos of their bakery and staff to get that cost. Otherwise it was $200 for delivery from boston and about $400 for the cake.
Another splurge, but considering it was a Vera Wang, it was hugely discounted. I shopped at Vows in Watertown MA, which sells runway samples and gowns that other stores are getting rid of from past seasons. You can find beautiful designer gowns by hitting stores like that!
Gift from my friend Renee. Find your friends with skills and ask them to use them as their gift instead of buying you something you don't necessarily need!
Groom's Attire:
We found his suit on sale at the local Banana Republic factory outlet - I couldn't believe how much we saved on it. It only cost us $140 for the jacket and pants! We stuck to the sale section and also used a coupon to bring the cost down - and he still looked so great.
Also a colleague and friend of mine, John cut us a huge deal: $500 for reception coverage. He's not a cheesy, typical dj - he DJs boston clubs and is in a killer band, so he had a similar sensitivity to our musical tastes. he used real vinyl, which my husband adored - we have a large collection of our own, so we were thrilled to find someone who thought along our lines. Find someone you love and who isn't necessarily a "wedding dj" as a profession but is still in the general sound line of work - you're more likely to escape the stereotypical wedding dj cheese and get music you really like.
We found a local small band who don't typically work weddings, and they cost us $800. A huge savings, since they worked both the ceremony and the cocktail hour. and people LOVED them! We're still hearing about how great they were today.
Flower Girl's Dress:
Custom made and much more reasonably priced than the dresses you'll find in the bridal shops. And so cute!
Bridesmaid's Clutches and Wraps:
Another etsy score. They were only $17 each, and I was able to work with the artist to coordinate the styles to our color palette and vibe of the wedding. We also bartered a bit to bring the cost down!

9-inch Ford-style Rearends - Anatomy of a 9-inchWritten by on August 1, 2011 Contributors: Rob Fortier What Goes Into Building Hot Rodding's Most Popular Rearend?
When it comes to aftermarket 9-inch Ford-style rearends, we can pretty much guarantee the first company name that comes to mind for any hot rodder is Currie Enterprises. For good reason too, as the company has built tens of thousands of rearends over the past 50-plus years, and especially since their axles became synonymous with the performance aftermarket in the '80s. Today Currie can supply an all-new 8-, 9- or 8.8-inch rearend as well as 12-bolt GM and Dana 44 and 60 rearends for hot rods, performance applications, or for off-road use. We were keen to find out exactly what goes into building a 9-inch rearend, given that it's possible to purchase a 9-inch from Currie that uses absolutely no original Ford parts with the exception of the brake components, if so desired.
Partly driven by supply and demand (when was the last time you saw a wrecking yard full of 9-inch rearends?) the company undertook to produce its own axle center housings, gear cases, yokes, and differential carriers. Sold under the name 9-Plus, these products are brand-new manufactured components and assemblies, meeting or exceeding OEM specifications. The housings and covers are made from high tensile steel, almost 40 percent stronger than conventional 1010 low carbon steel.
The rearend we'll follow from component parts to ready-to-ship item uses a new hot rod early style round back housing, with 3-inch-diameter tubes (0.188-inch wall thickness), Torino-style bearing housings, and a new nodular 9-Plus Sportsman gear case, capable of withstanding around 600 hp. Building the housing to a customer's required width (which previously would have been referred to as narrowing an axle casing before new parts were used throughout) is the "easy" part, as assembling the differential is somewhat more time-consuming and technical, yet the team at Currie make it look simple. Building several every day will do that though! Incidentally, all the component parts are available individually, should you want to build your own axle, though we'd be inclined to wait for the UPS driver to show up with a crate rearend strapped to a pallet, ready to go!
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The axle housing is set in the jig and a gear case installed with collars in place of the bearings. With a bar placed through the collars, the axle tubes and bearing housings, also with collars in place of the bearings, can be installed on the bar, which aligns all four bearings. The gear case is set level, as are the bearing housings.With everything leveled, the axle tubes are tack-welded to the center housing and the bearing housings.This heavy-duty press is used to perfectly align the completed housing should any warpage occur during the welding process. It may look simple, but experience counts for a lot here, knowing just how much and where to apply pressure.Here are the all-new component parts for the third member laid out on the bench. The 9-plus Sportsman gear case will soon be home to a 4.11:1 ring-and-pinion on a 9-Plus open carrier and a new yoke.
… it's ready to have the pinion support installed. This is done using one of a number of specially fabricated drifts found throughout the Currie assembly area.The 9-Plus carriers are supplied with caps, cap bolts, billet spanner nuts, and spanner nut retainers. The bearing cap surfaces are dressed with a fine file prior to assembly to ensure a perfectly flat surface.Backlash is set using a dial indicator gauge. This particular 9-inch is set to 10/1000 to 12/1000 of an inch, but backlash depends on the gear manufacturer's recommendations.Gear marking compound is applied to the ring gear in preparation for establishing the contact pattern between it and the pinion gear.Spinning the pinion using an electric motor, and hence meshing with the ring gear, will indicate the contact pattern.When the pattern is set correctly, the ring gear will look like this. Adjustments are made by re-adjusting the backlash, using the spanner nuts, or in some cases, by shimming the pinion in the support. The pattern should be central on the ring gear teeth.
While the third member is being assembled, the casing is placed in this jig, a fixture dropped onto the carrier bolts, and the axle shafts checked for length. They should butt up to the fixture. This axle uses Currie's new billet 31-spline shafts.With a bead of RTV sealer on the housing, the third member gasket is installed, followed by another bead of RTV.All-new brake assemblies are installed next. These are 11 x 2 1/4-inch drums, the assemblies sourced directly from Ford, though Currie manufactures their own drums. The brakes use the Aftermarket Brake Configuration Standard (ABCS), which was developed to provide interchangeability, meaning 11-inch Explorer and 11 5/8-inch Mustang discs, as well as Baer, Wilwood, and SSBC discs can all be directly swapped for the drums.Collets and bearings are pressed onto the shafts, but not before the retaining plates are installed!With a little grease on the bearings, the shafts can be slid into place, and the brake backing plates bolted up. The retaining plates use the same studs.
In addition to the round back hot rod housing, Currie also supplies heavy-duty housings, fabricated housings in steel or chromoly, as well as fabricated housings for independent rearends using 9-inch third members, and aluminum center housings. Rear braces, bracket kits, axle pads, and more are also available to fit 9-inch axles in non-Ford applications.

I'm guessing what you are looking for are items such as those found in the Dunjinni forums.
I'm looking to start mapping and I got the basics down, but I'd like to have a wider array of textures and I can't seem to find any suitable "sprites" (16-bit items and buildings that I can place in map) any gimp users help me out?
P.S. They ARE sprites right? I did a google search for sprites and all that came up were characters, nothing like tents or bookshelves.
I'm guessing what you are looking for are items such as those found in the Dunjinni forums.
When its over and you look in the mirror, did you do the best that you were capable of? If so, the score does not matter. But if you find that you did your best you were capable of, you will find it to your liking. -John Wooden
* Rivengard * My Finished Maps * My Challenge Maps * My deviantArt
Sprite is a term that comes from the video game world, referring to a 2d graphic applied in screen space. (As opposed to applied to an object in a 3d world, which would be a "decal.")
The Dundjinni forums are, indeed, an excellent source of building-scale map objects like tables, treasure chests, and fireplaces. It's a little lean on town-scale objects like buildings, but I think it does still have some. If you can find it, there is a collection of objects gleaned from those forums called the CSUAC. I forget what that stands for, and it's sometimes difficult to find a source, but if you can locate it, it's well worth the significant amount of time it will take to download.
There are also some resources here in the Mapping Elements forum, although our collection is relatively small. We do have quite a few brushes for Photoshop and Gimp, though.

The Emery Theatre is finally on its way back. After years of dormancy, the 100-year-old Over-the-Rhine venue is in the midst of a restoration that will allow artistic endeavors of varying stripes to grace its stage.
The Emery Center Corporation Board and The Requiem Project — the nonprofit brainchild of Tara Lindsey Gordon and Cincinnati native Tina Manchise, a duo intent on restoring the Emery's historic legacy — announced over the weekend that the Emery has secured two architects to take on the renovation: locally based John Senhauser Architects, and Cleveland-based Westlake Reed Leskosky, a firm that specializes in opening closed arts venues.
The Fine Arts Fund has released the results of a year-long study intended to start the process of building more collective responsibility in Greater Cincinnati for the arts. Despite the general public's longstanding support for arts and culture in their communities, charitable giving to and public funding of the arts struggle to keep up with demand nationally and locally — and this study was undertaken to try to "change the conversation" here about the arts as a shared public good and to motivate Cincinnatians to increase support.
Taft Museum of Art has named its new director/CEO to replace Eric Lee, who left in the spring to head the Kimbal Art Museum in Fort Worth. She is Deborah Emont Scott, recently chief curator at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City and before that the museum's Sanders Sosland curator of 20th Century. She becomes the sixth director in the Taft's 77-year-history.
It was reported today that the Ohio Arts Council will be facing a budget reduction of 47 percent, one the largest percentage cuts in the new state budget.
From the OAC web site:
As the state's budget heads to Governor Strickland's desk for his signature, Ohio Arts Council staff is diligently working with final budget numbers to calculate fiscal year 2010 grant awards. Because the state arts budget was not finalized until July 10, 2009, grant award announcements will not be available until around July 24.
At the June OAC Board meeting, the Board voted to provisionally approve all grants for one year, instead of two years for some programs, until a special emergency session of the Board can be held in August to determine the best course of action for agency programs and operations.
The final version of the FY2010/2011 budget ($13,188,578 for the biennium) will reduce OAC grants by 38 percent from the final FY2009 budget and 47 percent from the original FY2008/2009 appropriation ($24.9 million). This will have a significant impact on FY2010/2011 grant amounts, although actual percentage reductions will vary by program. Some programs will be put on hiatus. This drastically reduced budget severely limits the ability of the OAC to provide financial assistance to artists, arts organizations, schools and other entities engaged in cultural programming throughout the state.
"Ohio's cultural sector is critically important to the economic recovery of our state. The OAC will continue to do its best to help support the arts and cultural organizations that are reeling from the effects of the economic downturn," said OAC Executive Director Julie Henahan. "Even at this dramatically reduced level, OAC funding will help maintain jobs, support education programs and drive tourism in Ohio."
Headquartered in Columbus, the OAC was founded in 1965 to "foster and encourage the development of the arts and assist the preservation of Ohio's cultural heritage."
For fiscal year 2009, the OAC granted $1,498,651 to Cincinnati-based artists and organizations.
Most of the large arts organizations in Cincinnati received some funding from the OAC for 2009, including Cincinnati Ballet, the Cincinnati Arts Association, Children's Theater of Cincinnati, Contemporary Arts Center, Urban Appalachian Council, Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, Kennedy Heights Arts Center, Media Bridges, Madcap Productions, Know Theatre of Cincinnati, Women Writing For (a) Change, Taft Museum, Cincinnati Boychoir and many more.
A total of 65 grants were awarded in Cincinnati for 2009. The five largest grants were:
Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra: $404,986
Playhouse in the Park: $144,817
Cincinnati Museum Association: $167,512
Cincinnati Opera: $100,142
Cincinnati Ballet: $91,966

Under the old system, grants of $3,000-$5,000 were awarded to local artists. Now, the Cincinnati Arts Ambassador Fellowship Committee will provide more impactful grants of $6,000 to seven different artists.
The process kicked off at the beginning of the year when artists were invited to submit a letter and resume to City Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan before Jan. 15. The invitation was open to artists of all different disciplines but they had to be residents of Cincinnati throughout the program (July 1, 2012-May 31, 2013).
After more than 100 applications applied, twelve finalists were announced on Tuesday.
"We were blown away at the number of applications," Todd Wurzbacher, Chair of the Cincinnati Arts Allocation Committee, said in a press release. He presented the list of finalists in Quinlivan's Strategic Growth Committee today.
The twelve finalists are Jesse Mooney-Bullock, Tatiana Berman, Pam Kravetz, Karen Heyl, Melissa Godoy, Guy Michael Davis, Tonya Matthews, Terri Kern, Casey Riordan Millard, Brad Austin Smith, Rondle West and Nathaniel Chaitkin.
The finalists will be interviewed by the Cincinnati Arts Allocation Committee members, who will then choose the final seven artists to receive awards. The final awards will be given to seven artists on Tuesday, Oct. 16 at 11:30 a.m. on the steps of City Hall.
"I'm excited we have visual artists, musicians, dancers, filmmakers, and even a puppeteer in our finalists," Quinlivan said in a press release. Quinlivan got council support to create the CAAF program. "More than 125 Cincinnati artists applied for the newly created Arts Ambassador Fellowship, proof that Cincinnati is a strong arts city," she said.
ArtsWave has put out a very positive press release about the attendance for its first three Sampler Weekends, as well as information for the next three — including one this Saturday.
The Fine Arts Fund announced Thursday night that donors gave $11 million for the arts in its annual fundraising campaign, an amount equal to 100 percent of the contributions in 2009. That met the goal set for this year and is more than any other such campaign in the nation, according to the FAF.
The Creative Economy exhibit deals with art and economics, particularly the prospects for creative sustainability in Cincinnati and nationally, art and its relationship to capital, and various narratives about how economic realities effect creative endeavors. The grant dinner will be part of the closing reception.
Usually I make a theater recommendation for the weekend on Friday, but this week, I'm talking about another Stage Door, the one at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company where it's serving as an exit for someone who has played a big role in keeping the company stable and focused since 1999.

It's been a whirlwind past two months for welterweight star-in-the-making Douglas Lima (21-4 MMA, 3-0 BFC).
The 23-year-old American Top Team Atlanta product marched his way through Bellator's season-five welterweight tournament in impressive fashion with three wins in a span of two months.
Now he has only two things on his mind, and two things only: rest and relaxation, and welterweight champion Ben Askren (9-0 MMA, 6-0 BFC).
In defeating Steve Carl, Chris Lozano, and Ben Saunders in succession, Lima earned the right to challenge Askren for his belt, and according to Lima, the fight will take place near the end of March or the beginning of April in 2012.
However, first things first. His body has some healing to do before he heads back into the gym.
"Fighting every four or five weeks is tougher than I thought," Lima told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio).
"My body, there's always some injuries here and there. You have to be careful so you don't overtrain, but I'm glad I did it. I stayed busy for four, five months straight, and here I am now. I get a shot at that title. I'm excited about it."
After surviving an early knockdown due to a punch behind the ear against Carl in the tournament quarterfinals at Bellator 49, Lima managed to bounce back and earn the unanimous decision. A highlight reel knockout over Lozano in the semifinals propelled him to a matchup with UFC veteran Ben Saunders on November 12 at Bellator 57.
Lima rose to the occasion once again by recording a second-round knockout, which left him the last man standing.
A stiffer test awaits in the form of the former four-time Division I All-American wrestler Askren, who remains unblemished in his mixed martial arts career. His resume may be unblemished, but based on his recent title defense against Jay Hieron at Bellator 56, the man is clearly human.
Askren fought tooth-and-nail for 25 minutes with Hieron and won a split decision on the judges scorecards to retain his title. Many felt Hieron did enough to earn the victory. Many others, including Lima, felt the blueprint was laid for defeating Askren.
"Hieron stopped most of his shots," Lima said. "His defense was on point. Not to take anything away from Askren, but I didn't think he was that impressive. He didn't take him down at will. He didn't control him like he's done with all his opponents. There's a way to beat him. The guy is not unbeatable."
There's no denying Hieron has a better wrestling pedigree than Lima. So how does he plan to fill in the gap?
"I'll find a way," Lima said. "The way he wrestles, that funky style or whatever he's got. I've got some friends that wrestled with him in college. I'm just going to find a way. I'm going to work a lot on my jiu-jitsu as well.
"The best way to counter his top control is to have a good bottom game. I'm going to develop there and find a way to catch him."
When Lima returns from vacation in Brazil he will reset at his home base in Atlanta, but will eventually migrate down to the American Top Team affiliate in Coconut Creek, Fla., to work with their top wrestlers.
"Most of my training is going to be takedown defense," Lima said. "I'll find a way to strike. And I'll land that good punch or good knee and finish."

I have a user who uploaded a file to their briefcase that had at least 50 characters in the title and when they they tried to open the file it was throwing a HTTP 404 error and said the file did not exist. After they uploaded the file to the briefcase they ended up deleting the file off of the computer. I managed to get a-hold of the file and download it. I took out half of the characters in the title re-uploaded and it worked with no issues.
I was just wondering if there is a maximum amount of characters for a title on items within the briefcase?
Just thought I would bring this to your attention.
Also they were using the WebUI as well. Let me know what you think, Thanks

Politics and Families Don't Mix.
by Meredith O'Brien
Just a few months back, we wrapped up a mid-term election season in which several, prominent female pols were promoted as "mama grizzlies" who not only protect their own children, but vowed to watch over the voters' kids as well. And while it is heartening to see more women with children entering into the political fray, I can't help but wonder what the impact of the uptick in political attacks on politicians' offspring will do for future candidates who can't bear to subject their sons and daughters to intense scrutiny as seems to be the case these days.
This thought has been on my mind a lot as I've been continuing to watch, with tremendous fascination, the fictional depiction of the impact of a political campaign on a family on CBS' The Good Wife, where wading into the political waters seems particularly treacherous for families, especially if they don't want to see their children dragged through the muck along with their parents.
The backstory of The Good Wife sounds a lot like the backstory of any number of real-life politicians: A Chicago state's attorney, Peter Florrick (Chris Noth) was convicted on corruption charges and also admitted to have sex with at least one prostitute. While he was incarcerated, his humiliated wife Alicia, played by Julianna Margulies, re-entered the legal profession after having taken time off to help her husband's career and raise their two kids, now both young teens.

What to do when a store sends you upgraded merchandise by mistake?

I guess I am different than most of the posters. I would say something, but that's me. Afterall, when it rings up for more than it was listed, I make sure they correct it and I receive my item for the correct price.
As an aside, they probably did just send out an upgraded product because they were out of stock. The difference in cost between the two for the store is probably small. If it helps you sleep at night, just call.
It's called a conscience and congrats, you've got one.
Our membership seems to be dwindling.

I have to say I agree. I used to work in retail. Pricing errors like this happen from time. Trust me they are discussed at length in Loss Prevention meetings. Most of the money a store loses is not from theft, but from pricing errors. Bottom line ... it's us the consumers that pay the price in the long run, even though there is not much we, as consumers, can do to prevent it. Even if you were to tell them something rang up too little, they are probably still going to let you have the item. BUT ... you told them and put the ball back in their court.
It's called a conscience and congrats, you've got one.
Our membership seems to be dwindling.
Now, on the other hand, I don't think this product upgrade is going to put TRU out of business. BUT ... it bothers me when people ask these types of "what should I do ?" questions on forums like this. It obviously bothered you at least a little bit ... right ? If there is a clear conscience about something, then it would seem like there would be more of a "bragging" post ... like "woohooo, guess what I got". Perhaps that makes no sense, and perhaps I am in the minority. And in no way am I trying to bash anyone. Just offering my humble opinion.
So, what would it hurt to notify them you got an upgraded item ? They probably did just send you that one because they were out of the item. If the person you contact can't give you an answer, etc. then the ball is in their court. YOU didn't do anything wrong and they probably did not either. But at least you can say you notified them and then your conscience can be clear.

The insurance alone would cost more than the payment on a $38k vehicle

i went in the other day to buy a new ford mustang and instead the salesman brought out a porsche carrera and gave me the papers and the keys and as i got into to that sensual leather cockpit, i thought to myself, 'hey, dood, you just paid $38,750 for a $108.000 car. should i take it back. i know the poor, honest salesman will probably fired at his ford=porsche dealership. i had qualms about honesty and integrity ----------------for anout two seconds. s**T what a deal!!!!!!

Ummm...I think it was a joke.
Posted Dec 11, 2006 - 8:52 pm
Ok, I want to be devils advocate again. This isnt' direct towards any one person. Just keeping the debate going ....
I noticed many posts on another thread regarding people "taking advantage" of the free Fandango movie tickets, and others got none. Some of these comments were made by posters on this thread who think you should not say anything.
How is getting something that you didn't order or getting a cheaper deal, etc. (or whatever the case is) and NOT SAYING ANYTHING, any different than taking advantage of the situation ?
It's not our responsibility to make sure that a store charges us what they want to charge us. If they can't get their act together, that's their problem.
In a post above, I mentioned an incident where I got a chair that was listed at $110 for only $15.50. I didn't have a problem morally with getting the chair for that price because I arrived at that situation through no treachery on my part. There was a computer error in the register. I don't feel that it's my duty to make sure that a store charges me the correct amount. Therefore, my conscience is perfectly clear on that matter.
However, another recent incident left me feeling differently. It was a few days before Thanksgiving and I was at the supermarket picking up a few things for the coming meal. While I was at the checkout I unloaded the items from my cart, but I apparently missed one thing. It was a small container of sage. It wasn't intentional on my part, but I ended up walking out of the store without paying for it.
When, I was loading stuff into my car I saw it there and assumed that it had fallen out of a bag, so I threw it into one of the bags. While driving home though, it started to nag at me as to how it could have fallen out of one of the bags like that. So when I got home, I checked the receipt. When I didn't find it on the receipt, I realized what must have happened. I immediately started feeling guilty over it. Even though it wasn't intentional.
So I went back down to the store and spoke to the manager about it. I apologized to him and assured him that it was just an error and that I was gonna pay for it now. He was very polite, but he seemed a little bit stunned that I bothered to come back in and pay for it and even more so that I was apologizing to him for it. But it was something that I had to do. Unlike the incident with the chair, this was a mistake that was my fault.
As I said above, it's not my responsibility to make sure that they charge me as much as they would like to charge for an item. But if somehow I end up getting something for the incorrect amount as a result of an error on my part, then I would feel morally obligated to correct the matter.

Now, if I am in a B&M store, and I see a blatant mistake, I will say/do something. If I get overcharged, undercharged (hasn't happened yet) and esp correct change, I speak up. Because honestly, the extra $2 the cashier gives me by mistake is not worth them loosing their job over because their till is under.
And hey, there is no way my DH would EVER contact buy.com to tell them the mistake they made with us. They sent us a PSP bundle package last year by mistake when I had ordered a PS2 wireless controller for my DH. Had no idea of the mistake until I was wrapping the package Christmas Eve. And I feel I am a very honest person and I don't feel the least bit bad about it.
Consider it a little extra bonus this season, and to offset your kharma, do a nice deed for someone this holiday season!

Different types of treatment have different goals. Below is a list of different anal cancer treatments and their goals. You may have more than 1 of these treatments:
Radiation therapy. The goal of this treatment is to kill cancer cells using X-rays. This is a common treatment for anal cancer. Radiation can be used with or without chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy. Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells. It can cause the tumor to shrink. Chemotherapy combined with radiation therapy can cure most anal cancers without the need for surgery.
Surgery. The goal of surgery is to remove the tumor from the anus, while leaving as much of the anus as possible intact. In most cases, surgery for anal cancer is no longer needed.
If you or a family member has been diagnosed with anal cancer, you may want to consider getting a second opinion. Some insurance companies require a second opinion for such diagnoses. According to the American Cancer Society, it is very rare that the time it will take to get a second opinion will have a negative impact on your treatment. The peace of mind a second opinion provides may be well worth the effort.
Research is ongoing in the field of anal cancer. New medicines and treatments are tested in clinical trials. You may also hear the term clinical study used to describe this type of research. Before starting treatment, ask your doctor if there are any clinical trials you should check on.
