M Arch
The University of Maryland's graduate programs in architecture are recognized nationally for excellence in sustainable building craft and urbanism. The Comprehensive Design Studio/Advanced Technology Seminar, the first of its kind in the nation, is a model for the integration of design studio pedagogy and technical knowledge. All students in the Master of Architecture Program (independent of their specific track) participate in this award-winning educational experience.
Building upon our location in the metropolitan Baltimore-Washington region, our Urban Design Studio advances the conviction that responsible patterns of settlement when combined with green building practices lead to a more sustainable world. The Urban Design Studio has won numerous awards and citations including honors in the Edmund Bacon Competition, the ULI Hines Competition, and the Congress of the New Urbanism.
The architecture Program offers two tracks toward the NAAB accredited Master of Architecture degree:
Advanced Standing Professional Degree Program:
The "Path A" program is an advanced standing track designed for individuals who possess an undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Architecture degree. This program links seamlessly with the University of Maryland's BS in Architecture degree and similar degrees offered at other institutions. This is a four-semester degree program leading to the NAAB accredited M ARCH degree.
Professional Degree Program for Individuals with Baccalaureates in Disciplines Other than Architecture:
This program is designed specifically for individuals who have earned a baccalaureate degree in an area other than architecture. This seven-semester program provides introduction to the fundamentals of architectural design and representation, technologies, history and theory, as well as professional practice. The program provides an efficient track toward the NAAB accredited M ARCH degree. Limited Advanced Standing in the Path B Program: Applicants who possess a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture, Bachelor of Science in Environmental Design, or similar degree, are evaluated for placement and may receive limited advanced standing in the Path B program based upon their portfolios and prior coursework.
Profile of Applicants
Applicants to the Master of Architecture degree come from diverse educational backgrounds and from many locations worldwide. They often bring with them valuable insights based on their wide-ranging life and educational experiences.
Tuition and Fees
Current tuition, fees and other expenses for degrees at the University of Maryland are posted on the Office of the Bursar website.
Note: The typical semester course load for students in the Master of Architecture degree program is 15 to 16 credit hours per semester. Tuition is calculated on a per credit hour basis (either based on in-state or out-of-state rates). To estimate your tuition multiply the cost per credit hour by the number of credit hours per semester.
Admission is competitive, and application requirements differ by degree program. We encourage applications from students with solid academic backgrounds who have earned or will earn at least a bachelor's degree at a regionally accredited college or university in the United States, or the equivalent of this degree in another country. As a minimum admission standard, the University of Maryland expects candidates to have a "B" average, or 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, in a program of study resulting in a bachelor's degree.
You may apply for admission to the University of Maryland during or after your final year of undergraduate study, but you must furnish proof of graduation before the end of your first term of enrollment at the university.
Visiting the School
The best way to learn more about the University of Maryland School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation is to visit. Throughout the year, both the School and the University of Maryland invite prospective undergraduate students to "Visit Maryland Days" and prospective graduate students to attend our annual Graduate Open House. Whether you choose to visit on one of these special days and get the grand tour or you prefer to arrange an individual tour, a visit will certainly help you decide if the University of Maryland is the place to start your future. In addition, architecture studio reviews are always open to the public.

* Sample Text Describing a Project in the Portfolio: This six-week project explored the Mt. Vernon context of Baltimore, MD, examined contemporary housing prototypes, and focused technical issues of sustainable dwellings in an urban context. This proposal provides 125 market-rate apartment units based in part on Le Corbusier's Unite de Habitation, in Marseilles. The design responds to the largely commercial nature of Charles Street, by providing retail at the base of the building. Common spaces on the ground floor and mezzanine of the building are designed to offset compact unit sizes. Individual units are equipped with sustainable features such as sun-shading, through ventilation, and balconies that incorporate vertical plantings serving each unit as herb gardens. The building is a concrete frame structure sheathed in a double-skin system. The green rooftops feature an array of solar collectors, green roofs, and cisterns that collect rainwater to be used in the building's grey water system. NAAB SPC: A.1, A.3, A.6, A.7, B.3, B.5, B.8, B.9
Qualification for Advanced Standing
A condition of admission with advanced standing in the Architecture Program is documentation to verify completion of National Architectural Accreditation Board (NAAB) Student Performance Criteria (SPC) that applicants have satisfied in prior coursework at their undergraduate institution. This requirement is now a condition of accreditation for all NAAB accredited architecture programs. The relevant text from the NAAB 2009 Conditions for Accreditation below:
Because of the expectation that all graduates meet the SPC (see Section 1 above), the program must demonstrate that it is thorough in the evaluation of the preparatory or pre-professional education of individuals admitted to the NAAB-accredited degree program.
In the event a program relies on the preparatory/pre-professional educational experience to ensure that students have met certain SPC, the program must demonstrate it has established standards for ensuring these SPC are met and for determining whether any gaps exist. Likewise, the program must demonstrate it has determined how any gaps will be addressed during each student's progress through the accredited degree program. This assessment should be documented in a student'sadmission and advising files.
[NOTE: A review of course titles and descriptions in and of itself is not considered sufficient for this activity.]
Currently 15 of the 32 NAAB SPC are either met or partially met in the University of Maryland's Bachelor of Science Program and serve as pre-requisites for admission to the M ARCH program with advanced standing. They are:
- A.1 Communication Skills**
- A.3 Visual Communication Skills**
- A.5 Investigative Skills*
- A.6 Fundamental Design Skills**
- A.7 Use of Precedents*
- A.8 Ordering Systems*
- A.9 Historical Traditions & Global Culture**
- A.10 Cultural Diversity**
- B.3 Sustainability*
- B.4 Site Design*
- B.5 Life Safety*
- B.8 Environmental Systems*
- B.9 Structural Systems**
- B.11 Building Service Systems*
- B.12 Building Materials and Assemblies*
*Indicates criterion is partially met in the pre-professional degree
**Indicates that criterion is met in the pre-professional degree
The admissions committee makes a determination on advanced standing after an applicant has been admitted to the School. Once admitted, candidates for advanced standing may be asked to submit additional evidence to demonstrate that they satisfied the above SPC to a comparable extent during the course of their undergraduate degree program. The following materials are used in the determination process:
- Portfolio of academic work from architectural design studios (submitted in round 1).
- Course syllabi for each course you took in your undergraduate education in the following areas:
- Structures courses
- Building methods and materials coursesMechanical, electrical and plumbing courses
- Design studios
- History / theory courses
- Professional practice courses (if any)
- Any other course for which you satisfied an NAAB SPC
- Any assignments, projects, examinations, tests, and quizzes illustrating successful completion of the SPC from the above courses.
If deficiencies in SPC are found to exist, the student's curriculum will be modified to include additional coursework that satisfy the NAAB requirement.
International Applicants
Applicants who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents must submit additional documents.

Grade Point Average in Major Policy
The 3.0 GPA in major policy requires all graduate students matriculating in Fall 2012 to earn a 3.0 grade point average in their major, minor, and/or certificate requirements. With the new plus/minus policy, the minimum grade for most major courses is a B - , now calculated as a 2.7. It is important that graduate students clearly understand what courses make up major, minor and certificate requirements, and that the cumulative GPA for those courses must be at least 3.0.
Recommended Internships
At various points in a student's education practical experience gained through internship complements and provides insight into formal education. The Program provides an annual Career Fair that enables students gain contacts with major firms in the Washington - Baltimore area as well as firms with numerous locations nationally and internationally. Many students arrange internships over the summer and/or winter recess. While the Program does not provide academic credit for work in a professional context, the experiences gained therein are invaluable to a student's development.
Recommended Education Abroad
The Architecture Program offers several intensive study abroad programs during the winter term and over the summer session. The programs are generally three or six weeks in duration and are lead by faculty members who have proven expertise in locales in which the programs are located. Past programs have taken students to France, India, Italy, North Africa, Peru, Russia, Turkey, South Africa, and the Yucatan. Students study the historical and contemporary architecture, urbanism, and cultures of the nations visited.

CATHARINE BIGGS ARROWOOD Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP, RaleighId choose San Antonio. I have spent a great deal of time there. It is a wonderfully diverse and friendly place. And I have a family connection to San Antonio: Micajah Autry is an ancestor from the Sampson County area who died at the Alamo.
Vita: Born Nov. 27, 1951, in Lumberton; bachelors and law degrees from Wake Forest University; one child. Why she chose this field: When I got out of law school in 1976, the only place that would hire me was the antitrust division of the N.C. Attorney Generals Office. What shed be if not a lawyer: An opera singer. But I would have to have a vocal-cord transplant. When I was about 7, our Baptist choir director said I could remain in the choir so long as I stood there and moved my mouth with no sound coming out. Memorable case: A trial in federal court in Asheville regarding the loss of the cremated remains of a Florida man. We represented the mans son against the Asheville funeral home that had been engaged to cremate and ship the remains to Florida for interment. The court allowed a Baptist minister to testify as an expert on grief. We recovered not only compensatory damages but punitive damages much to the surprise of our experienced local counsel, who had assured us that we would recover not a penny. Passions: Opera, symphony, travel. Recent reading: Andrew Carnegie by David Nasaw. Dont ask her to: Put up with mean people.

When creating a distribution list, I'm not clear what the purpose of List Name its function.
When I send a distribution list, I'm getting a bounce back stating that the list name email address doesn't exist!?!
If I can't create an account for the list name, how would I create a distribution list so that it wouldn't bounce back?
Does this even make sense? Does any of it make sense? Cause I don't get it....?

The 59th Sacramento Autorama - Capitol IdeaWritten by on July 1, 2009 The 59th Sacramento Autorama Brings Kustoms To The State Kapitol
Usually it's not much fun being second, but despite the Sacramento Autorama being the world's second longest running indoor car show--after the Grand National Roadster Show--it's a completely different affair to what was once its local cousin (The GNRS starting out as the Oakland Roadster Show in nearby Oakland before its move down south to LA County). Where the GNRS top honor is the America's Most Beautiful Roadster trophy, Sacramento draws from its historic custom ties and awards the World's Most Beautiful Custom trophy. Those ties include the city being the hometown of Dick Bertolucci, George and Sam Barris and home to Harry Westergard throughout his custom career. The Autorama has a featured builder each year, with Dick Bertolucci honored for 2009. Bertolucci's Body Shop has been a Sacramento landmark since the '50s, and Dick had a number of his cars on display at the show.
Held at Cal Expo in Sacramento, in addition to the contenders for the WMBC award, this year the Autorama gave over one whole building to the largest collection of custom Mercs ever assembled in one place to commemorate 70 years of the marque. Famous and historically significant Mercs from '39 to the mid '50s included the Sam Barris Merc, Ohanesian '40, Bailon/Powell '50, Hirohata Merc, Coachcraft '39, Westergard '40, and even a clone of the Pharoahs' Merc from American Graffiti. This room was enough to make attendance mandatory for anyone remotely interested in custom Mercs!
A number of customs were also present in the Suede Room too, probably outnumbering hot rods, with four alone from Masterson Kustom Automobiles, two of which were debuting. This room also saw a panel discussion including Gene Winfield and Sam Barris' son John on Saturday, with John in particular giving some great insight into his father's life.
Of course while the Merc Room was an awe-inspiring experience for virtually everyone, the judges were having a hard time selecting from the contenders for the World's Most Beautiful Custom, but when the votes were in and the fat lady started warbling, the winner emerged as Scott Bonowski's '50 Merc, built by Hot Rods & Hobbies.
Dick BeRtolucci
Autorama Builder of the Year
Dick Bertolucci was the featured Builder of the Year at the Autorama, and had a number of his cars on display, including this '28 Chevy four cylinder powered hillclimber, dubbed the Gilmour Special, and his '33 Chevy roadster, running a 1950 vintage 292 inline six and Saginaw trans with overdrive. Nostalgic on the topside, it runs a 9-inch and Pinto IFS with disc brakes.
Dick's a Sacramento local, and worked on the Buddy Ohanesian Merc along with Harry Westergard as well as becoming a founder member of the Thunderbolts Capital Auto Club, the oldest continuously meeting street rod club in the US. Now retired, Dick still builds cars for himself.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
My personal favorite of the WMBC contenders was Brian Everett's Slither, with metalwork and paint by Oz Kustoms and drivetrain and suspension work by Radford Motorsports. A Bob Divine interior completed the beautifully constructed '40 Merc.Kim Mejia's Aiello Customs-built '55 Lincoln Capri was another World's Most Beautiful Custom contender with a Bob Divine Interior. The two-tone hardtop received a healthy chop and a tastefully restyled front end retaining the stock bumper.Mounted on a '70 Malibu chassis, Oz Welch's Bad Apple Merc has been on the road for more than two decades, receiving a total makeover a couple of years back, and still looking as good today. Not a bad rolling advertisement for Oz Kustoms huh?Saturday's Drive-In show saw us give out a couple of R&C picks. Selecting Dave Bowling's '32 Tudor wasn't exactly hard, and all the more pleasing after chatting with him at length later and discovering it's a homebuilt car incorporating many neat tricks.Our second R&C pick went home with Ray Hendricks' '54 Chevy Sport Coupe. The Cypress green and silver hardtop runs a tri-power 350, smoothed and painted bumpers, and a custom velour interior.Dubbed Capone, Robert Gallery's WMBC-competing '54 Caddy Coupe de Ville was built by Lucky 7 Customs with upholstery by Divine Custom Interiors. As well as an Outstanding Paint award, John D'Agostino presented Robert with the West Coast Kustoms award.There was a Merc Drive-In outside the Merc Room that wasn't part of the main Drive-In, which strangely is where we stumbled across Christian Corona's custom Chevy truck. The modified Cadillac bumper suits the front end, while around back a louvered tailgate and center section of a '53 Olds grille housing shoebox Ford rear lights looked right at home.
Dave Chavez's '49 Business Coupe received a mild makeover by Masterson Kustoms and was actually the subject of a couple of tech features in R&C last year, namely headlight frenching and molded lakes pipes.Curtis Leipold had his '40 Chevy coupe in the Suede Room. With mucho recontoured metal, that way-cool grille and curved window frames in the hard-topped roof, it's a true custom in every sense.Built for Bob and Linda Rohrer by Bear Metal Kustoms, this 1927 Chrysler is chopped 3 inches and channeled by 5 inches. If you get a close look at it, it has an aircraft-inspired theme, with much sheetmetal fabrication in the interior and trunk, with thousands of rivets, belled holes and a pair of bomber seats. A 440 motor keeps things Mopar.Bear Metal Kustoms had two cars on display in the Suede Room opposite their booth, including proprietor Jason Pall's '23 Ford/Dodge mix. With a rear mounted radiator and dimple die grille insert, it featured copper floor and interior panels, with upholstery by Jimmy Z.There's a good chance you'll remember this cartoon-like '35 pickup from the pages of TRJ two years ago, and while it still has the ability to grab your attention, it doesn't seem to have undergone much in the way of progress since.We love it when old survivors surface in this hobby, so we're pleased to see the ex-Betty Elizabeth Shampoo '49 Ford convertible-turned-pickup sitting in the Suede Room. Remarkably complete, including the lift-off roof and side rails, Doug Silva is the current owner.Fresh from their R&C Bonneville cover the Peckerheads club from Reno displayed some of their cars in the Suede Room, Ray Forbes' taking Best of Show (Suede Room) with his 364ci Nailhead-powered '34 coupe.You want history? Check out Tom Black's '40 Merc. Chopped by Gerry Huth when it was a mere two weeks old in 1939, it subsequently passed to Valley Custom owner Carl Morton in the `60s, and has been restored by third owner Black over the past four years, debuting at the Autorama, albeit minus an interior.Another Merc that looked like it should have been built back in the day yet wasn't, was Bill Wolfe's California Gold, with body and paintwork by Gene Winfield including a 4-inch chop, Stude grille shell and Buick headlights, a modified stock chassis now with all-wheel discs, and a big-block Chevy motor.
Lucky 7 Customs and Devine's Custom Interiors were the talented collaborators on George Gorza's '51 Merc, Brass Knuckle, which uses '55 Chevy parking lights and a chrome grille surround for a different look.Roseville Rod & Custom put together this '50 Merc for Dave and Lisa Baker with a performance slant before appearing in this very tome in '05. The 502 big-block is still there, but the Torq Thrust IIs have made way for a set of wide whites and `caps since our feature.Kevan Sledge worked hard to get his '40 Merc show-worthy, which it was, despite lacking an interior. Featuring a beautifully executed chop with re-contoured sail panels and a great nose-up stance, this will be a stunning `40s-era sled when finished.James Baker was one of the lucky participants making history in the Merc Room, bringing his David Guymon-built '47 Merc from Texas for the show. Despite looking like an earlier build with its Cadillac grille and traditional `50s custom elements, the Merc was built in the late 1980s.There's a famous photo of the normally camera-shy Sam Barris standing beside his Merc (the first one chopped, when it was brand new) just before it left with a new owner for Iowa, and it must have felt odd for his visiting family in his hometown to see the picture recreated with Sam's cardboard cutout standing next to the car, now restored by Roy Brizio Street Rods for John Mumford.How many of you built the model kit of Don Tognotti's King T while growing up? The real thing, which won the America's Most Beautiful Roadster title in 1964, has just been restored.Mike McMillan is a Chevy in-line six fan; his '47 Chevy is powered by a 235 and three-speed with overdrive. Taking second place in its class, it featured full fadeaways, a 3-inch chopped Carson-style top, blended rear fenders, and Buick tail lights.The expansive Cal Expo grounds meant there was plenty of room for outdoor displays as well as the indoor show cars. While we found the Bass Race (Christmas tree type lights set up so overly-bass equipped cars could "race" each other) and stereo sound-off stuff lame and irritating in the extreme respectively, we're sure their participants wouldn't have been interested in some old cars firing up their motors. We, on the other hand, appreciated the cackling blown and injected racecars.
Scott Bonowski's '50 Merc took top honors in the World's Most Beautiful Custom competition, built and painted by Hot Rods & Hobbies to a Steve Stanford rendering, using an Art Morrison chassis and a 502ci Chevy motor. With impressive street rod type styling, it may be a chopped Merc, but it ain't no traditional custom.Tucked away at the far end of the Cal Expo facility was a building which housed the pinstripers and their Autorama Jama '09 happenin'. With twice-daily auctions for charity, and more than 20 stripers present, everything from bowling pins and panels, to a number of cars inside the hall went under the brush.

Alternative fuels
The transport sector needs to tackle a double challenge – to break its dependency on oil and at the same time reduce its increasing CO2 emissions.
Scania has been addressing this challenge by producing commercial biofuel solutions for over 20 years, and is actively developing and testing technology for the future.
Biofuels are part of the natural carbon cycle
Biofuels are part of the natural carbon cycle and don't contribute to a net increase of CO2 in the atmosphere. Fossil fuels release carbon from fossil deposits and increase CO2 levels. The use of biofuels will thus help reduce CO2 emissions, particularly in heavy transport, where electrification is not easy to achieve.
Only three biofuels today fulfil the important requirements of sustainability, commercial availability and volume production – bioethanol, biodiesel and biogas. Other interesting biofuels will not be commercially available for quite some time.
Scania's biofuel portfolio
Scania's unique biofuel portfolio covers all the three major biofuels, providing solutions that ensure the best operating economy and the most cost-efficient CO2 reduction for each individual customer.
Scania strongly favours the development of a uniform system for certifying biofuels from a sustainability point of view. A good example of this is the EU's biofuel criteria.

Saw this on the Iowa State homepage. I know a lot of people on here had her for a teacher and she was usually a favorite.
This is all I've found so far.
Greenlee journalism professor Barbara Mack dies - Iowa State Daily: News
Sad day. By far one of the more memorable and my favorite professor at Iowa State.
Definitely my favorite teacher so far
BMack was one of my favorite teachers at ISU. JL MC 101 with her was amazing! Who could forget her wanting to create a laptop pouch for her ***. She will be missed dearly! RIP
"The greatest risk in life is not taking one"
My favorite easily. I loved my journalism law class with her. Fantastic personality and one of the most genuine people you would ever meet. Her loss will be a tough one to come back from and she'll be greatly missed at the Greenlee school of Journalism, ISU, the Ames and Des Moines community and the journalism and law communities as a whole. Dark day today.
Thanks for posting this. So sad, she was such an awesome person.
Really sad day. One of my favorite professors. She and I always seemed to share a mental wavelength. Always was surprised that some classmates hated her, but then again those were the kind of people that thought they were entitled to a high grade without having to put in the effort.
The thing I liked most about her was she really didn't care what your views were, even political and religious views, as long as you brought intelligence to the conversation.

The thing I enjoyed most about JLMC 101 with her was it was like having a humorous conversation throughout the whole lecture... You went to class, got in more than a few laughs, and then you're leaving all of a sudden because you had such a good time

A legendary Journalism Law class, 406 was the number I think
Follow me on twitter. I complain about the Twins' roster management, you complain about the forecast, etc...
Barbara Mack was definitely one of my favorite professors in my time at ISU. I remember hearing the stories of how crazy strict she was, and how she put the fear of God into students. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to actually meet her until my final summer semester in 2003. She turned out to be a very nice person that only wanted to see her students succeed. She wouldn't put up with students that did dumb things...but she meant well and it usually brought a laugh to the class. She always had great stories too. The story that has stuck in my head forever is when she told our class about how the word "like" was introduced to modern conversation. She told us about how the movie Clueless ruined the speaking ability of all college age girls. Anytime a girl in our class would say, "It's like Cyclone Football." she would promptly interrupt the girl and say, "Is it LIKE Cyclone Football, or IS IT Cyclone Football? I know that might make you feel kinda stupid, but honey a future employer won' want to hear you talk like that." I found humor in it and Barbara Mack will be sadly missed.

That's a huge blow to ISU. Not going to be able to replace her.

US Airways Cleared In Drunk Passenger Death
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has cleared US Airways of wrongdoing in its DUI investigation into whether the airline served an already-intoxicated passenger. Dana Papst died while driving home from the Albuquerque, New Mexico airport.
The Aero-News Network reports that after Papst was served alcohol on a flight to Albuquerque, he turned the wrong way in I-25 near Santa Fe and struck a vehicle, killing himself and five others in a head-on collision. His blood alcohol level was four times the legal limit for DUI in New Mexico.
The FAA determined Papst had stopped in Bernadillo, New Mexico and bought beer at a convenience store. The accident occurred three hours after the flight had landed.
US Airways was banned from serving alcohol on flights going to New Mexico until the airline received a state liquor license. Obtaining a liquor license in New Mexico includes training servers to identify alcohol impaired or intoxicated passengers.

From Wikiquote
(Redirected from Ruled)
The terms Rule, ruler, and ruling usually refers to standards for activities, and those individual persons, objects or activities involved in maintaining them.
- Love rules without rules.
- By all means break the rules, and break them beautifully, deliberately and well. That is one of the ends for which they exist.
- Robert Bringhurst, The Elements of Typographic Style (3.1 ed.), Hartley & Marks, p. 10.
- The realization that life is absurd and cannot be an end, but only a beginning. This is a truth nearly all great minds have taken as their starting point. It is not this discovery that is interesting, but the consequences and rules of action drawn from it.
- Albert Camus, critiquing Nausea by Jean-Paul Sartre, as quoted in Albert Camus and the Philosophy of the Absurd (2002) by Avi Sagi, p. 43.
- An exception is nothing else than a rule that applies exceptionally.
- Fausto Cercignani in: Brian Morris, Simply Transcribed. Quotations from Fausto Cercignani, 2014, p. 31.
- It is paltry philosophy if in the old-fashioned way one lays down rules and principles in total disregard of moral values. As soon as these appear one regards them as exceptions, which gives them a certain scientific status, and thus makes them into rules. Or again one may appeal to genius, which is above all rules; which amounts to admitting that rules are not only made for idiots, but are idiotic in themselves.
- Carl von Clausewitz, On War (1832), Bk. 3, Ch 3: "Moral Factors", as translated by Michael Howard and Peter Paret.
- When the slave auctioneer asked in what he was proficient, he replied, "In ruling people."
- Diogenes Laërtius, vi. 74
- Man is as much a rule-following animal as a purpose-seeking one. And he is successful not because he knows why he ought to observe the rules which he does observe, or is even capable of stating all these rules in words, but because his thinking and acting are governed by rules which have by a process of selection been evolved in the society in which he lives, and which are thus the product of the experience of generations.
- Friedrich Hayek, Law, Legislation, and Liberty, Vol. 1 : Rules and Order (1973), Ch. 1 : Reason and Evolution
- It is the nature of man to build the most complicated cage of rules and regulations in which to trap himself, and then, with equal ingenuity and zest, to bend his brain to the problem of wriggling triumphantly out again.
- Bridget Ann Henisch, Fast and Feast: Food in Medieval Society (1976), p. 41.
- Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.
- Carl Jung, The Psychology of the Unconscious (1943).
- Rules are mostly made to be broken and are too often for the lazy to hide behind.
- Douglas MacArthur, reported in William A. Ganoe, MacArthur Close-Up (1962), p. 137.
- In today's regulatory environment, it's virtually impossible to violate rules … but it's impossible for a violation to go undetected, certainly not for a considerable period of time.
- Bernie Madoff, remark in an interview (20 October 2007), "Quotations". QFinance, the ultimate resource. London: Bloomsbury. 2009. p. 1777. ISBN 9781849300001.
- History admits no rules, only outcomes. What precipitates outcomes? Vicious acts & virtuous acts. What precipitates acts? Belief.
- David Mitchell, in Cloud Atlas (2004), "The Pacific Journal of Adam Ewing", p. 528.
- The majority of parents are poor psychologists and give their children the most questionable moral trainings. It is perhaps in this domain that one realized most how keenly how immoral it can be to believe too much in morality, and how much more precious is a little humanity than all the rules in the world.
- Jean Piaget, The Moral Judgment of the Child (1932), Ch. 2 : Adult Constraint and Moral Realism.
- Pedantry and mastery are opposite attitudes toward rules. To apply a rule to the letter, rigidly, unquestioningly, in cases where it fits and in cases where it does not fit, is pedantry [...] To apply a rule with natural ease, with judgment, noticing the cases where it fits, and without ever letting the words of the rule obscure the purpose of the action or the opportunities of the situation, is mastery.
- George Pólya, How to Solve It (1945), (p. 148 in the 2004 Princeton Science Library Edition).
- Hillel HA-Babli, in the thirty-first book of The Sabbath in 30 B.C., raised the Golden Rule to the ultimate moral principle: "Whatsoever thou wouldst that men should not do unto thee, do not do unto them. This is the whole Law. The rest is explanation."
- Michael Shermer, The Science of Good and Evil : Why People Cheat, Share, Gossip, and Follow the Golden Rule (2004).
- Rule, after you have first learned to submit to rule.
- Solon, Diogenes Laërtius (trans. C. D. Yonge) The Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers (1853), "Solon", sect. 12, p. 29.
- Ces règles ne sont que des barrières pour empêcher les enfants de tomber.
- The rules are only barriers to keep children from falling.
- Anne Louise Germaine de Staël, De l'Allemagne (1813), Pt. 4, Ch. 9.
- Any fool can make a rule
And every fool will mind it.
- Henry David Thoreau, Journals (3 February 1860).
- IAR is policy, always has been.
- Jimmy Wales, on the Wikipedia:Ignore all rules policy, in an edit summary (18 August 2006).
- If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it.
- Wikipedia:Ignore all rules policy, first expressed in the form "If rules make you nervous and depressed, and not desirous of participating in the Wiki, then ignore them and go about your business." by Lee Daniel Crocker (17 April 2002).
- Declaring yourself to be operating by "Crocker's Rules" means that other people are allowed to optimize their messages for information, not for being nice to you. Crocker's Rules means that you have accepted full responsibility for the operation of your own mind — if you're offended, it's your fault. Anyone is allowed to call you a moron and claim to be doing you a favor. (Which, in point of fact, they would be. One of the big problems with this culture is that everyone's afraid to tell you you're wrong, or they think they have to dance around it.) Two people using Crocker's Rules should be able to communicate all relevant information in the minimum amount of time, without paraphrasing or social formatting. Obviously, don't declare yourself to be operating by Crocker's Rules unless you have that kind of mental discipline.
Note that Crocker's Rules does not mean you can insult people; it means that other people don't have to worry about whether they are insulting you. Crocker's Rules are a discipline, not a privilege. Furthermore, taking advantage of Crocker's Rules does not imply reciprocity. How could it? Crocker's Rules are something you do for yourself, to maximize information received — not something you grit your teeth over and do as a favor.
- Eliezer Yudkowsky, promoting "Crocker's Rules" at SL4
- If you declare Crocker's Rules, other people don't need to worry about being tactful to you. (You still need to worry about being tactful to them — Crocker's Rules only work one way.)
- Crocker's Rules didn't give you the right to say anything offensive, but other people could say potentially offensive things to you, and it was your responsibility not to be offended. This was surprisingly hard to explain to people; many people would read the careful explanation and hear, "Crocker's Rules mean you can say offensive things to other people."
- Smokey, this is not 'Nam. This is bowling. There are rules.
- Walter Sobchak in The Big Lebowski.

Hey everyone I don't want to say much because I don't have specific information , but a good friend of mine works for the Athletic Department and as he was closing up the practice facility tonight JP was walking a man though and this new man were his practices would be held. The only thing I know about this guy is that he is bald and had a southern draw.
Possible DC?

Dan McCarney is bald?
It will be such a relief when we officially get a DC. Then people can finally move on to more important issues. Like how disappointed they are in the new DC.

Maybe he is the S&C coach. Maybe he is the special teams coach. Maybe he is the Dline coach. Thanks for the info, sounds like there will be a hire on Monday anyway.

Birth Place: Toronto, Ontario, CA
Born: 03/15/1943
Birth Place: Toronto, Ontario, CA
Born on March 15, 1943 in Toronto, Ontario, Cronenberg had initial intentions of becoming a novelist, thanks in large part to reading William Burroughs and Vladimir Nabokov in his father's literary magazines. In 1963, he was enrolled at the University of Toronto, where he took science courses, believing that writing was a skill unable to be taught. Eventually, however, Cronenberg made the switch to English after hanging around with the artistic crowd. After receiving exceedingly high marks at university, Cronenberg spent a year traveling Europe - mainly Denmark because of his affinity for all things Nordic. Upon return, he returned and enrolled in a master's program, where a friend impressed... Continue Bio >>

What Is Linguistics?
Linguistics is a science that intersects social sciences, humanities, and natural sciences. It is the study of human language from many different aspects:
What Do You Learn When You Study Linguistics?
There are many interesting questions to explore in the field of Linguistics:
Why Study Linguistics?
The study of Linguistics helps you to better understand the world around you. Why? Because as human beings, we perceive, organize, and understand our world through language. We express ourselves and connect to others through language. When we see something interesting or shocking, when we try to remember a fact or event, express anger or love, we do this through language. When we read, sing write, converse, or daydream, language is at the heart of our experience. When you study Linguistics, you not only investigate sounds, words, and structures, but you gain entry into the heart of humanities.
There are many practical benefits when you study Linguistics:
Finally, not only is Linguistics USEFUL, but it's FUN!

The mother of a 12 year old spent the night in jail after deputies say she rammed her husband's vehicle in the school parking lot.
Carteret County deputies say Kari Edwards showed up Monday afternoon at Broad Creek Middle School in Newport, apparently thinking her husband was trying to pick up their son. The woman thought the child was already in the pickup truck, so she tried to disable the vehicle so it couldn't drive away, according to a news release. The Sheriff's Office says the couple is currently separated.
The child was actually standing outside and deputies say he saw the entire thing, along with an off-duty deputy sheriff.
The 46-year-old mother is charged with assault with a deadly weapon with a minor present, aggressive driving and injury to property.
Edwards went before a district judge this morning and posted a $10,000 bond. A condition of her release is that Edwards have no contact with her estranged husband.

Fi'zi:k Aliante Carbon K:IUM Saddle $0.00
In every critical respect the k:ium-railed version of the Aliante is identical to its braided carbon brother: It's built with Fizik's patented Twin Flex shell. The exterior shell is a 35g multidirectional carbon fiber shell that surrounds a 15g bi-directional carbon and Kevlar weave interior "hammock". The entire story of the Aliante is this carbon shell: It simultaneously provides comfort and support. Like the carbon version, it has to be ridden to be believed. It offers a supreme balance of comfort and lightness.
Due to skyrocketing materials costs, the Aliante is no longer made with Titanium rails. In place of Ti is a new rail material Fizik calls k:ium. According to Fizik, k:ium offers an 8% weight reduction in comparison to Ti rails, and thanks to its use of Silicium and Chrome, it has better vibration-absorption qualities and more corrosion resistance.
The Aliante is available in a wide variety of color options, and it's 100% compatible with Fizik's ICS taillights and saddle bags. They literally snap into the rear of the saddle -- say farewell to velcro straps and awkward clamps! 265 x 142mm.
- Compatible with Fi'zi:k's ICS taillight and saddle bags
- K:ium rails are 8% lighter than ti-rails

Great Saddle
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've ridden this saddle on my road bike so when I started building my race CX bike I decided it needed the same saddle. I love how this works for me. We all know saddles are a personal choice.
Perfect for me
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
A saddle is a very personal choice, and for me this one fits well. It is well constructed and gets even more comfortable after a break-in period. I have put over 1,000 miles on it and it doesn't even look like it has worn at all.
Aliante rail failure
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
rails snapped after a year of use. i am 200 pounds and i have broken saddles in the past. lesson: bigger folks probably should not ride racing saddles. i don't think they warranty.

LBIC Issues Economic Development Report
(Le Mars) -- Plymouth County and the city of Le Mars is in a good position to add to the current labor force, according to an economic development report issued by Neil Adler, executive director of the Le Mars Business Inititative Corporation, or LBIC. Adler submitted a report to both the Plymouth County Board of Supervisors and the Le Mars City Council last week. He says twice as many people commute to Le Mars to work as there are that travel away from Le Mars for work.
Listen here
Adler says Le Mars ranks well when compared to other communities across the state.
Listen here
Adler says although more workers are coming to Le Mars for employment, the data shows that those workers are aging.
Listen here
The LBIC executive says when you look at the six county region compensation, it does show that worker's wages are lower at about $35,000 compared to the state's average of $42,000. However, he says Plymouth county ranks high with the average employee compensation. Adler also notes that cost of living expenses are generally lower in northwest Iowa.

Census Survey Shows Iowans Have a Short Commute
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - U.S. Census Bureau data show Iowa's average commute is nearly 6 minutes shorter than the national average.
The Des Moines Register reports (http://dmreg.co/JbfYMY ) that the average Iowa commute is 19.1 minutes. That ties the state with Kansas for the seventh-fastest average commute in the country. The national average is 25 minutes.
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey says North Dakota residents enjoy the nation's shortest average commute: 16.1 minutes.
The Iowa Transportation Department says Iowan residents travel an average of 11.5 miles to work.
The census data say Madison County residents have the longest average commute: 29 minutes. Many of them work in the Des Moines area.
The state's shortest average commute is the 12.3 minutes in Sioux County.
STEM Hubs Selected
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Gov. Terry Branstad says six Iowa universities and colleges will be home to centers that will promote teaching science, technology, engineering and math to students no
matter where they live.
Branstad says lack of equal opportunity for such programs to all students is hurting the state's ability to retain and attract businesses needing highly skilled workers.
He says test scores show Iowa students have fallen behind in math and science education.
The centers called STEM hubs will be located at Iowa Lakes Community College in Estherville, University of Northern Iowa, Iowa State University, Southwestern Community College in Creston, and
Drake University. The University of Iowa and Kirkwood Community College work together to form the sixth.
Funding for the offices is included in an education budget bill pending in the Legislature.
Flight School Turns in Student
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - An Iowa flight school tipped off federal regulators that a man hoping to become a commercial pilot falsely inflated his experience to get a license.
Fahad Nabeel Hussein Al-Daous pleaded guilty Friday to one count of lying to the Federal Aviation Administration.
He admitted he falsely listed on an application for an instrument-rated license that he had 50 hours of cross-country flight experience that is required. After he passed a ride with an
FAA pilot examiner in Ottumwa, he received the license in May 2011.
Hussein Al-Daous claimed he'd conducted his flights through Waterloo-based Livingston Aviation. Months later, that company told the FAA that billing records showed he hadn't taken many flights he
Hussein Al-Daous told investigators he planned to use inflated data to get a commercial pilot license.

The officers seized over 150 grams of marijuana and severa; grams
of cocaine, all of which was ready for street distribution.
"Out of those 19, we arrested a total of 7 yesterday, hich doesn't mean that the search won't continue with those other 12 remaining," said Agent Warren Cox. "They'll be arrested over the next week or so or as we're made available to them."

PHOTO OP: What's in a wheelchair?
We've all heard it said in different ways: "Stay tough", "Play up your strengths, hide your weaknesses", "There's no crying in [enter sport]!" or as the famous saying goes, "Never let them see you sweat." (Thanks Dry Idea.) However it's said, professional athletes are never supposed to show vulnerability when competing, never mind showing up in a wheelchair.
But don't tell that to Esther Vergeer. She may have wheels for life but she's also turned it into her weapon of choice, along with HEAD, dominating her sport like no other athlete on the planet. And that's not hyperbole.
Esther, 29, is unbeaten in wheelchair singles tennis since January 2003 and is currently riding a 396 match winning streak. Oh, she's also tied with a one Roger Federer with 16 major singles championships, the latest one coming courtesy of a double bagel win over Daniela di Toro in the final at this year's US Open. But even the Swiss star can't claim the same dominance.
Remarkably, the Dutch lady baller gets to try on a new title this Friday: cover girl for ESPN The Magazine's second annual 'Body Issue.' There she is in the buff, for all the world to see, with only her racquet, arms and a seated position hiding what we know is already there. Scary much? Not by the look on her face or the intense gaze into the camera lens. "Come for me" she seems to be saying.
But wait - people with disabilities aren't supposed to be sexy, right? Well, leave it to Esther to prove us wrong all over again.

I work with a lot of disabled clients, who are not only unbelievably mentally and physically strong, but also amazingly sexy. Many of them have physical disabilities that aren't apparent to the eye, either.
Esther is one tough chiquita. I wish I could have seen her play more. Did you see her at Arthur Ashe Kids Day? I think she out-numbered Fed on one of the shots!
Thanks for putting this up. I may actually go out and buy a magazine for once!
I got to see her at AAKD and she more than held her own. The kid that hit with them was pretty damn good too.ReplyDelete
It's pretty gutsy for ESPN The Mag to feature her sans clothes on a cover. For some reason I can't see SI having the guts to do anything like this. They seem to have a strong aversion to ballers on their covers - even when it's the biggest story of the week. So kudos to ESPN.
that vibration dampener's location made me do a double-take!ReplyDelete
