Ducks on the road for five games this week ending with three at Washington State Friday through Sunday: Oregon is on the road for five games this week with two non-conference games against Seattle on Tuesday and Wednesday and a Pac-12 series at Washington State starting Friday. The Ducks and Redhawks split their two games with Oregon winning 12-7 on Tuesday and Seattle picking up a 3-2 win on Wednesday.
Oregon and Washington State have met 267 times with the Cougars holding a 148-116-1 series advantage, as well as a 29-16 advantage in Pullman in games played since 1963. WSU also holds an 8-4 advantage in games played between the two teams in Oregon's modern era of baseball, including a 5-1 edge in Pullman. The Cougars have won three of the four series since 2009, with the Ducks claiming the 2010 series in Eugene 2-1. WSU won the series 3-0 in 2009 and 2-1 in both 2011 and 2012.
Ducks in midst of eight straight road games: Oregon's five-game road trip this week to Seattle and Washington State is the beginning of a streak that will see the Ducks eight straight games away from home. After finishing the state of Washington swing, Oregon will step out of conference play for a three-game series at Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio, May 10-12. The eight-game road swing will mark the second time the Ducks have played eight straight games away from PK Park this season. Oregon finished the first road streak with an 8-2 record winning the final six games after losing the first two at Arizona State. The Ducks won the series finale with the Sun Devils before winning a Tuesday game at Oregon State, sweeping a three-game series at California and beating Portland. Oregon returns home Tuesday, May 14, for the start of a five-game home stand against Gonzaga (May 14-15) and Oregon State (May 17-19).
Tolman leads Oregon with monster two-game series at Seattle: While Oregon and Seattle split their two games earlier this week; Ducks' freshman Mitchell Tolman did his part to help Oregon win both games.
Tolman, who was the DH in both games after a long string of starting at third base, went 4-for-7 (.571 batting average) with nine RBI in the two games. Tolman opened the series on Tuesday going 3-for-4 with seven RBI in the Ducks 12-7 win. Tolman drove in at least one run in all five of his at bats. His seven RBI were the most by an Oregon player since Jack Marder drove in eight runs vs. Nevada on March 19, 2010, as well as three more than any other Duck has had this season.
Tolman added to his RBI total on Wednesday when he drove in both of Oregon's runs in a 3-2 loss. His two RBI came with on a bases loaded single with one out in the top of the third inning and tied the score 2-2.
Tolman has run his season total to 21 RBI, good for fourth on the team, after entering the week with 12 RBI. His back-to-back multi-RBI games ran his season total to three games with more than one RBI. He drove in three runs earlier this season in a win over Portland at PK Park.
Healy named Pac-12 Player of the Week for second time this season: Ryon Healy has been named the Pac-12 Player of the Week after leading Oregon to a 4-0 record last week, including a series sweep of No. 21 Stanford. The honor is the second of the season for the Ducks' first baseman. Healy batted .400 (6-for-15) for the week with two home runs, a double, seven RBI and three runs scored. He led Oregon with a .867 slugging percentage and had a .500 on base percentage. The junior was even better in the three games against Stanford hitting .455 (5-for-11) with two home runs, a double, seven RBI and two runs scored. His slugging percentage was 1.091 vs. the Cardinal and he had a .538 on base percentage.
Healy led Oregon to a 6-4 win in game two of the Stanford series hitting a pair of two-run homers, finishing the game 3-for-3 with four RBI and two runs scored. In Sunday's series finale, he added two more RBI including one on a ninth-inning double that tied the score and set up Oregon's winning squeeze bunt play. Healy had a hit in all four Ducks' games during the week and picked up at least one RBI in all three Stanford games. Healy's first conference player of the week came after he led the Ducks to a four-game sweep at Hawaii in February to open the season. His second award gives the Ducks four weekly awards this season. Scott Heineman was named the conference player of the week on April 15 and Cole Irvin claimed pitcher of the week honors on April 1.
Healy delivers first walk-off home run in modern history at Oregon: Since Oregon reinstated baseball before the 2009 season; no Oregon Duck had hit a walk-off home run until March 28. Ryon Healy became the first to do it when he lined a two-run home run over the left field wall in the bottom of the 10th inning to give UO a 5-3 win over the Washington Huskies. Healy's blast came two innings after he singled in the tying run to eventually send the game into extra innings.
Sherfy on watch lists for Golden Spikes Award, Pitcher of the Year Award and NCBWA Stopper of the Year Award: Jimmie Sherfy added another watch list to his list of accomplishments. The All-American right-hander earned a spot on the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Stopper of the Year Midseason Watch List. He added that honor to a pair of other watch lists that he was named to earlier this year, the 2013 Pitcher of the Year Award and the Golden Spikes Award Watch list. Sherfy is one of 51 players on the stopper of the year list and one of 41 players to make the initial pitcher of the year list.
The junior is second in the nation in saves with 14, while boasting a 2-0 record with a 0.90 ERA. He also ranks fourth in the country in active career saves. Previously, Sherfy was named to the watch list for the Golden Spikes Award, which is sponsored by Major League Baseball and honors the top amateur baseball player in the country. Sherfy earned multiple postseason All-America honors as a sophomore after finishing the season with 19 saves and a 2.20 ERA. The right-hander claimed first-team ABCA/Rawlings All-America recognition, while being named second-team All-America by the NCBWA, Baseball America, and Perfect Game, and third-team by Louisville Slugger. Sherfy was also a NCBWA Stopper of the Year finalist and claimed first-team All-Pac 12 accolades after leading the league in saves. Sherfy set an Oregon record with 19 saves last season while finishing with a 5-3 record in 36 appearances. He struck out 93 hitters in just 61.1 innings (an average of 13.6 strikeouts per nine innings pitched) and held opponents to a .172 batting average.

Sherfy active leader in career strikeouts per nine innings, fourth on active career saves list: Oregon closer Jimmie Sherfy's 13.02 strikeouts per nine innings during his career leads the country in the category. The Duck junior has fanned nearly half a hitter more per nine innings in his three-year career than his closest competitor, Stephen Richter of Delaware, who has 12.73 Ks per nine innings. Sherfy also ranks fourth among the active career save leaders with 33. The junior moved ahead of Louisiana Tech's Caleb Dudley with a save at Oregon State on April 7, before running his total to 33 with a save vs. Stanford last Saturday. He trails only La Salle's Pat Christensen (43 saves), Ole Miss' Brett Huber (36 saves), and Texas' Cory Knebel (35 saves). Sherfy is the career leader at Oregon and set the single-season Ducks' record in 2012.
Sherfy second in country in saves while other Ducks rank among national leaders: Jimmie Sherfy picked up his 14th save of the season last Saturday vs. Stanford and is now second in the country in saves, trailing only Austin Peay's Tyler Rogers who has 17. Aaron Payne ranks in the top 20 in a pair of categories. The junior second baseman is 13th in sacrifice bunts with 13, while ranking 18th in sacrifice bunts per game (0.32). Freshman Cole Irvin is 14th in victories with eight, three off the national lead. Irvin, Tommy Thorpe and Jake Reed are tied for 18th in games started with 11. Ryon Healy ranks in the top 52 in four separate categories. He is 34th in home runs with nine, 43rd in total bases with 100, 47th in home runs per game with 0.21 and 52nd in RBI with 42.
As a team, Oregon is third in the country in sacrifice bunts with 64, while ranking eighth in fielding percentage at .980 Overall the Ducks rank in the top 60 in six categories. UO also ranks among the national leaders in win-loss percentage (11th; .767), ERA (15th; 2.76), hits allowed per nine innings (20th; 7.61) and WHIP (22nd; 1.19).
UO in the polls: Oregon remained highly ranked in each of the national polls released Monday after going 4-0 last week. The Ducks climbed two spots in the Baseball America poll to 11th, while moving up two spots in the Collegiate Baseball poll to sixth. UO edged up a spot to sixth in the USA Today Coaches Poll, while holding steady at 13th in the Perfect Game Poll. The NCBWA, which came out late Monday, has the Ducks ranked sixth.
Ducks schedule features a number of ranked teams: Oregon has played six ranked teams this season including a sweep of then-No. 21 Stanford last weekend. The Ducks have already played 16 games against ranked teams, including six games in a 10-day stretch starting March 1 when the Ducks visited No. 4 (this week's Baseball America ranking) Cal State Fullerton. The Ducks returned home for a two-game series against Cal State Northridge and then played three games against No. 2 Vanderbilt. Oregon wrapped up a three-game series at No. 8 Arizona State three weeks ago and then faced No. 6 Oregon State on April 9. The Ducks just finished a three-game series against No. 9 UCLA two weeks ago. Oregon's schedule doesn't figure to get any easier with the Ducks facing another Pac-12 team currently ranked in the Baseball America poll this season when Oregon plays sixth-ranked Oregon State four more times (May 17-19 at PK Park, May 21 at OSU). Arizona, who dropped out of the BA poll in the last month, is ranked in at least one of the other polls. The Wildcats, who the Ducks swept in March, are 23rd in the Collegiate Baseball poll.
Irvin named NCBWA National Pitcher of the Week and Pac-12 Conference Pitcher of the Week: Freshman Cole Irvin was named the NCBWA National Pitcher of the Week and the Pac-12 Conference Pitcher of the Week after throwing a shutout against Washington. Irvin pitched Oregon's first complete-game shutout of the season and only allowed two runners to advance past first base in the Ducks' 6-0 victory over Washington on March 30. He allowed just four hits, while striking out a season-high 11 batters and registering one walk. The Yorba Linda, Calif. product found his rhythm early, fanning seven batters through the first four innings, and never let up. He struck out one in the sixth, another in the seventh, and notched a pair of punch outs in the ninth.
Heineman named Pac-12 Player of the Week: Scott Heineman has been named the Pac-12 Conference Player of the Week after leading Oregon to a 4-0 record from April 9 to April 14. Heineman batted .438 (7-for-16) with three doubles, three home runs, six RBI and five runs scored as the Ducks went 4-0 on the road and earned their first Conference road sweep since the program was reinstated in 2009. The Pacific Palisades, Calif. native, who finished the week with a .500 on-base percentage and a 1.188 slugging percentage, hit safely in all four outings and logged a pair of multiple-hit games against California over the weekend. Heineman, who entered the weekend with one career home run, went yard twice in Saturday's 10-4 victory over the Bears and added a homer in Sunday's 5-4 win in Berkeley. All three of his doubles and six of his seven hits came in the weekend set.
Ducks pick up first Pac-12 road sweep since 1976: Oregon swept California in a three-game Pac-12 series earlier this year marking the first time since the Ducks reinstated baseball for the 2009 season that Oregon has won all three games of a Pac-12 series away from PK Park. Oregon's last sweep of a three-game series in conference play came in May 1976 when UO took three at Washington.
Ducks 18-8 all-time against ranked teams at PK Park: Oregon is no stranger to hosting ranked teams at PK Park. During the program's four-plus seasons playing in the park, the Ducks have played 26 games against teams ranked in the Baseball America top 25 and compiled an impressive 18-8 record in those games -- a .692 winning percentage. Oregon has hosted three ranked teams this season with the latest coming last week when the Ducks swept No. 21 Stanford in a three-game series. Oregon also hosted No. 13 UCLA who won two of three over the Ducks. In March, Oregon hosted No. 2 Vanderbilt and won one of three against the Commodores. The Ducks won the series finale in both of those series.
Until this season, the Ducks had won all but one series against ranked teams they had played in PK Park. Oregon beat defending National Champion, and 15th-ranked, Fresno State two out of three in 2009 in the first series in ballpark history against a ranked team. The Ducks won the first two, 1-0 and 7-1, before losing game three 10-3. In 2010, Oregon dropped two of three to No. 2 Arizona State winning game two 6-5 in 12 innings, while beating No. 19 San Diego 13-4. In 2011, UO beat No. 23 Arizona two out of three and swept No. 6 Oregon State at PK Park. Last season, the Ducks swept No. 14 Arizona State in a three-game series, while beating No. 23 Oregon State in a single Tuesday game. Since baseball was reinstated at Oregon, the Ducks have played the No. 1 team in the country in two separate series on the road. In 2009, UO lost two games at UC Irvine (9-6, 7-4) before taking two of three games (5-4, 8-4, 1-5) at UCLA in 2010. (See a complete list of games Oregon has played vs. ranked opponents on page 7 of this release)
Ducks play 10 TV games, including one game on the Pac-12 Networks and one on ESPNU vs. Stanford this weekend: Oregon will make 10 regular season appearances on national television during the 2013 season. Oregon plays a total of eight games on the Pac-12 Networks during the season, while also playing one game on ESPNU and one game on the Big 12 Network. (See complete TV schedule on page 6)
Four Duck pitchers combine for 15 strikeouts in 3-1 win over Portland: Christian Jones, Jeff Gold, Garrett Cleavinger and Jimmie Sherfy combined to strike out 15 Portland batters in a 3-1 win on Feb. 26, while not allowing a walk during the game. Jones started the game and struck out five in three innings before giving way to Gold who fanned a career-high seven Pilots in four innings. Cleavinger struck out two in the eighth inning, and Sherfy added one punch out in the ninth to give the Ducks their most strikeouts since Feb. 18, 2012 when Oregon pitchers struck out 17 Hawaii batters in a 12-inning win.
Horton named 2012 Division I Coach of the Year by FieldTurf: University of Oregon head baseball coach George Horton won the 7th annual FieldTurf Baseball Award as the 2012 NCAA Division I Coach of the Year Field Turf announced in January. Horton led the Ducks to within one win of the College World Series in just the program's fourth season after it was reinstated for the 2009 season. Under Horton's tutelage, Oregon finished the 2012 season with a 46-19 record and a No. 11 ranking in the final Baseball America Top-25 poll. The Super Regional appearance was the eighth by a Horton coached team, and the first for Oregon since 1954. The 40-win season was the ninth in Horton's 15 years as a head coach at the Division I level and the team's .708 winning percentage was the best by a Ducks team since 1978.
Ducks 2013 recruiting class ranked No. 6 by Perfect game: The Oregon Ducks 2013 baseball recruiting class is ranked sixth in the nation by Perfect Game. The Ducks signed the nationally-ranked class after advancing to within one game of the College World Series last season. Oregon won a school-record 46 games in 2012 before ending its season in the Super Regional in Eugene.
The Scenario: The Ducks enter this weekend's series at Washington State in first place in the Pac-12 Conference with a 16-5 record, a half game in front of Oregon State. The Ducks also hold 3.5 game leads over both UCLA and Arizona State. The Bruins and Sun Devils both hold the tie breaker over the Ducks thanks to 2-1 series wins earlier this season. The Ducks and Beavers are yet to meet in their three-game Pac-12 Conference series with those games coming in three weeks. In addition to WSU and OSU, the Ducks have a season-ending three-game series left at Utah.
Oregon's pitching staff will look to continue to lead the Ducks at Washington State. UO enters the series with a 2.82 ERA. Oregon's three weekend starters have combined to post a 3.01 ERA with 21 quality starts, with each contributing seven of those. The bullpen has combined for just a 2.34 ERA with Jimmie Sherfy leading the way with a 0.90 ERA and 14 saves. Freshman Garrett Cleavinger has a 4-0 record, including a pair of wins against Stanford last weekend, to go with two saves. Darrell Hunter (2-0, 2.03 ERA) and Christian Jones (1 save, 2.45 ERA) give the Ducks four options to use late in games. Offensively, Ryon Healy leads UO in batting average (.349), hits (61), doubles (15), home runs (9), RBI (45), total bases (103) and slugging percentage (.589). Oregon has seen its team batting average climb to .265 with three regulars hitting over .300. In addition to Healy, freshman Mitchell Tolman is batting .343 with a team-high .421 on-base percentage. Brett Thomas is hitting .313 with 14 doubles and 25 RBI. J.J. Altobelli is batting .291, and Scott Heineman is second on the team in RBI (30) and third in doubles (12) while batting .279. Aaron Payne, who bats second, has a .382 on base percentage with team highs in walks (22), hit by pitches (13), sacrifice bunts (13) and sacrifice flies (4).

Transurethral prostate hyperthermia
Hyperthermia treatments for prostate problems or illnesses have been established as one of the most successful therapies at our center. The key treatment is a transurethral hyperthermia and as an important addition a short series of mild - moderate whole body hyperthermia treatments. Your individual treatment will be carefully planned based on the symptoms and present findings.
Prostatitis (prostate inflammation):A cure for this disease - often young men - can be can be difficult. In to 90 percent (!) of inflammation of the prostate is – according to a publication of the German Medical Journal – the inflammation is not caused by bacteria, so antibiotics are not indicated [1]. Our multimodal therapy approach with hyperthermia and natural healing substances has proven to be very effective in chronic prostatitis.
Symptoms of prostatitis may include pain in the lower abdomen and back, problems with urination, feeling of pressure in the perineal area, pain during intercourse and also an elevated PSA level. Therapeutically antibiotics are indicated in the (rare) bacterial prostate inflammation, in non-bacterial prostatitis whole body hyperthermia, local deep hyperthermia of the prostate, a prostate thermal therapy and an individual orthomolecular approach based on laboratory analysis with anti-inflammatory and immune modulating substances can be very helpful.
[1] Dtsch Arztebl Int. 2009 Mar;106(11):175-83. Epub 2009 Mar 13.
Prostatic hyperplasia (prostate enlargement)
In benign prostate enlargement, which in extreme cases may result in surgery or wearing of a catheter, we were able to achieve impressive results with hyperthermia treatment.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a common disease in men aged 50 years with an approximate incidence of every 10th man. It is caused by nodes (adenomas) that grow in different sizes and often push onto the urethra or the bladder. This results in frequent urination and the weakening of the urinary flow.
Prostate Cancer
As long as the cancer is confined to the prostate, a complete cure is possible. Five years after the initial therapy 80% of patients are alive today when the tumor is detected early; if it is confined to the prostate, more than 90%. In order to remove the tumor almost reflexively surgery (prostatectomy) or radiation therapy has been suggested and implemented. This results in the risk of side effects such as incontinence and erectile dysfunction.
More and more often today gentle methods, as well as a wait and see attitude (watch & wait) - especially in the elderly - have its place and will be chosen instead of the invasive method such as prostatectomy. Many men do so - after careful education and treatment planning - the method of local prostate hyperthermia in combination with some temporary hormonal therapy and comprehensive rehabilitation program in orthomolecular medicine - with good success. But also in combination with radiation therapy, hyperthermia offers a valuable synergy - Hyperthermia enhances the oxygen partial pressure in cancer tissues, thus increasing the sensitivity to ionizing radiation.
If a biopsy of the prostate is required?
Using modern diagnostic tools early prostate biopsy can be avoided:
The following techniques are to be performed in addition to the known PSA testing:
- PCA3 testing in urine:
- Analysis of circulating tumor cells from the blood
- MRI of the prostate with spectroscopy
Only when these method cannot conclusively prove prostate cancer, and a suspicion of carcinoma remains, in these rare cases, a biopsy is performed.
Thus, only in cases where surgery is planned and the surgeon insists on it biopsy is performed.
PCA3 test in urine
In the search for new diagnostic methods for prostate cancer, a molecule (a so-called "non-encoded RNA") was discovered, which is present in prostate cancer cells in almost 100 times higher concentration than in normal prostate cells
After a medical palpation of the prostate prostate cancer cells are released including existing cells in the urine, where they can then be detected. As with almost all diagnostic tests solely the PCA-3 test, even if it is low, provides no 100% guarantee that no prostate cancer is present.
The test is much more specific than the traditional PSA level and also not influenced by the prostate gland size.
Analysis of circulating tumor cells in blood
Using a modified test system for PCR detection of tumor-specific gene expression blood is analyzed on the presence of free circulating tumor cells.
Circulating epithelial cells can be enriched by Magnetic bead separation from the blood.
Thereafter real-time PCR measures the expression of six epithelial genes and a control gene.
The quantitative analysis of gene expression allows direct conclusions on the number of free circulating tumor cells in the body.
Prostate MRI scan with magnetic resonance spectroscopy
This MRI scan increased as a result of the individual measurements, the diagnostic accuracy of up to 90%. Not only location, size and extent of tumors are detected more precisely but also with respect to the tumor stage, low, medium and high Gleason scores are determined.
The different resonant properties of molecules in a strong magnetic field can be used for analysis and representation of tissues. Based on the different resonance frequencies single molecular constituents of tissues are identified and quantified. Measurement of citrate and choline:
- Citrate is produced from healthy prostate tissue. Since citrate is used in prostate tissue for energy consumption the intracellular citrate content of prostate tissue decreases in various from prostate diseases.
- Choline is a component of the cell membrane and in malignant prostate diseases increased, associated with cell proliferation.
Prostate cancer should therefore be recognized by a Citrate lowering and Choline rising.

Challenges Encountered During Law Enforcement Investigations of Terrorist Use of Information Technology.
Date: May 2005
Creator: Morgan, Deanne
Description: The late 20th and early 21st centuries have seen a phenomenal growth in society's use of information technology. Criminals, including terrorists and terrorist organizations, have also adopted information technologies. Information technologies are used to enhance the efficiency, productivity, and effectiveness of terrorist activities and offenses. Investigating terrorist use of information technologies creates a number of challenges for law enforcement officials. While some of the challenges are encountered during conventional criminal investigations, terrorist investigations also present unique challenges. Through content and typological analysis, this study examined open source information to identify, categorize and propose a model of these challenges. Four primary categories were identified: technology, methodology, legal, and administration and human resources challenges.

Changing Privacy Concerns in the Internet Era.
Date: August 2002
Creator: Demir, Irfan
Description: Privacy has always been a respected value regardless of national borders, cultural differences, and time in every society throughout history. This study focuses on the unprecedented changes in the traditional forms of privacy and consequent concerns with regard to invasion of privacy along with the recent emergence and wide use of the Internet. Government intrusion into private domains through the Internet is examined as a major concern. Privacy invasions by Web marketers, hacker threats against privacy, and employer invasion of employee privacy at the workplace are discussed respectively. Then a set of possible solutions to solve the current problems and alleviate the concerns in this field is offered. Legal remedies that need to be performed by the government are presented as the initial solution. Then encryption is introduced as a strong technical method that may be helpful. Finally, a set of individual measures emphasized as complementary practical necessities. Nevertheless, this study indicates that technology will keep making further changes in the form and concerns of privacy that possibly may outdate these findings in the near future, however, privacy itself will always remain as a cherished social value as it has always been so far.

Characteristics of Community Service Programs and Probationers in Texas
Date: August 2002
Creator: Roberts, Darrin D.
Description: As a criminal sanction, community service involves unpaid labor on the part of convicted criminal offenders. Community service was created as an alternative to incarceration for low-level offenders. It now appears, however, that community service is rarely used as a true alternative to prison, but rather as an added condition of probation. The body of research on community service in the United States is modest, so relatively little is known about its characteristics and administration. Data were attained from 88 Texas probation professionals via self-administered written surveys in an effort to gather information about the use of community service as a criminal sanction in Texas. Frequency distribution analyses identified characteristics of both community service programs and offender participants in Texas.

Civil Asset Forfeiture in the Fight Against Drugs (Policy Analysis)
Date: August 2002
Creator: Tuncer, Hakki
Description: Even if the main criminals of an organization are incarcerated, they will be replaced by others who would continue illegal activities, unless their financial assets are removed. Thus, civil forfeiture intends to dismantle the economic infrastructure of drug trafficking networks. Civil forfeiture considers the property as guilty, rather than the owner, and it may exist even if there is not a criminal action. Therefore, it is claimed that police agencies have chosen easy targets, such as wealthy drug users rather than major drug traffickers. Consequently, it has been particularly challenged on the basis of the Excessive Fines, Double Jeopardy, and Due Process Clauses. The use of criminal forfeiture instead of civil forfeiture and the elimination of the equitable sharing provision are considered to be the primary solutions.

Combating Corruption: A Comparison of National Anti-Corruption Efforts
Date: August 2003
Creator: Turer, Ahmet
Description: The primary goal of this thesis is to provide a comparative analysis of the institutional and organizational mechanisms designed to monitor and control political corruption at the national level. The paper will provide comparisons of these arraignments and control systems across three nations. The thesis will identify differences across countries in terms of organizational and institutional political corruption control mechanisms, and use the CPI index to suggest and identify those control mechanisms that appear to be present in nations with low CPI measurements. Finally, the thesis will conclude with the discussion concerning the future prospects for controlling political corruption in Turkey based on the comparative analysis described above.

Community Policing Training Programs and Their Roles in Implementation of Community Policing
Date: August 2002
Creator: Demir, Cuneyt
Description: The main goal of this study is to indicate the importance of community policing training programs for implementation of community policing. Community policing requires a transition from traditional policing methods to proactive and problem-oriented policing which is constructed upon police-citizen partnership. For the successful implementation of community policing, the change process needs to be fully realized throughout the organization. Suitably appropriate methods of training will help both officers and citizens to fully understand the goals of community policing. This study focuses on the types of existing community training methods as well as the obstacles that complicate training efforts. Consequently, this study provides some recommendations on community policing training programs to make them more helpful for police departments.

The Correctional Orientation of Juvenile Facility Directors
Date: August 2001
Creator: Sifuentes-Hammer, Amy
Description: Over the last 30 years, the juvenile justice system and juvenile correctional ideology shifted to become more punitive in nature. However, studies examining this shift are lacking in the literature. The present study will attempt to assess what correctional ideology, rehabilitative or punitive, is dominant within juvenile corrections by conducting a national survey to juvenile facility directors. This study will be based on prior literature, most of which has focused upon line staff in an adult correctional setting. From this prior literature, more specifically from the work of Cullen et al. (1989), scales will be created to determine the correctional orientation of the key administrators in juvenile facilities. This will allow us to assess whether the correctional ideology driving the juvenile system has in fact become punitive. The findings from this study have the opportunity to alter the current status quo in juvenile corrections.

Correlates of Recidivism: A Study Examining the Differences Between First Time Felony Probationers and Recidivist Felony Probation Offenders
Date: May 2007
Creator: Lynton, Eddy
Description: The purpose of this study is to explore the differences and characteristics between first time felony probationer and recidivist felony probation offender. The importance of said studies grows significantly, given current trends of sentencing offenders to probation. Using archived data on random sample of felony offenders in 2000 and based on information acquired and maintained by the Denton County Community Supervision and Corrections Department (CSCD), the study consists of 40 first time felony offenders and 40 recidivist felony offender placed on probation during the year 2000. The method consists of a longitudinal comparison model. To examine the research question, descriptive statistics are used to compare basic demographics. Then, in order to answer the research question bi-variate significant tests, Chi-square and Independent Sample T-tests were employed when appropriate. Results indicate differences between first time felony probation offenders and recidivist felony probationers.

Criminal Investigations: The Impact of Patrol Officers on Solving Crime
Date: May 2007
Creator: Womack, Charissa L.
Description: This two-part study of the criminal investigation process first evaluated the frequency with which patrol officers solve cases assigned to the investigations division and then examined how detectives spent their time, both on case assignments and on other activity not related to current case assignment. Cases assigned to the investigations division for follow up were examined to determine how often a case was cleared by the patrol officer. The detective's time was then evaluated in order to determine how much time detectives spent on investigative tasks and other activities. This study confirms that the patrol officer should be given more time to conduct preliminary investigations for specific cases, and that tasks performed by detectives could be shifted to other personnel in the department. Both actions should serve to positively impact case clearance rates.

New information for you on Dec. 21 in the case of Natalee Holloway, the Alabama high school student who vanished in Aruba in 2005.
Natalee's case has not closed, but has entered a new phase, as four detectives continue to look for evidence.
Aruba's chief prosecutor says an online file is to be released that includes an Internet chat session in which one of the three top suspects in the case said Natalee is dead.
The prosecutor didn't reveal the identity of the person who wrote the message.
But he said its discovery helped lead to the recent decision to re-arrest the three suspects.
All three have since been released.

As people age, financial focuses will change right alongside. From their twenties to their forties, financial needs will grow and evolve. It is up to each person to know what is needed and how to go about doing it. The following are three decades of important financial topics to both understand and implement when making financial goals.
During your 20's
Learn about money - With or without a college education, those people in their 20's will want to learn as much as they can about a lifetime of financial information. It is the best time to organize your budget and set up goals for your future. Monitor the plan regularly.
Start saving - Begin an emergency fund to soften the blow of unexpected financial problems. Set a goal to save at least six months of monthly expenses to help support a job loss or medical emergency.
Look to your future - Even in your 20's, it is important to think about your retirement years. If your company offers a 401k plan, take advantage of the benefit. You will want to invest at least the amount the company will match which is usually about 3% of your income. No company plan? Meet with a financial adviser to open a Roth IRA and begin saving.
Moving into your 30's
Max retirement savings - In order to fully fund your retirement, you will by now want save the maximum amount each year. Use automatic payments to help keep the process in motion.
Watch consumer debt - Consumer debt can sneak up on people in their thirties. A home, children and vacations can rack up debt. Don't let your lifestyle creep up on your budget. Keep consumer debt minimal.
Buy a home - If you haven't done so already, buying a home is a great way to invest in your family's future. The key to a successful purchase is to shave off at least 30% off what you think is affordable. You want to more than afford your home. A smaller home mortgage will help protect your finances each month as well as make it easier to pay the home off before you hit retirement age.
College Savings - If you plan to make a contribution to your child's higher education, begin while they are young. Look into your state sponsored plans or seek out advice from financial planners.
Reaching your 40's
Retirement, retirement, retirement - Don't interrupt your retirement plan for any reason. It is recommended to never borrow from it for any reason.
Monitor college saving plans - Now that your children are closer to college age, investigate tuition costs and compare to what you have saved so far. You may need to step up your saving contributions. Realistically think about affordable colleges so no one is left deep in debt after graduation.
Invest - If you have extra money saved, look into investing in an index fund portfolio. Set up an automatic purchase plan that will continue to grow your account without having to manage it.

ing the house out of the trust and putting it my name
Hello Forum,
I would like some advice. My mother passed away and I was her only child and sole benificiery.
I am wondering if I should keep the house in the trust or put in my name (I am currently not a home owner).
Does any one know what the process is to put my name on the title?
Next week I have will be consulting with a estate lawyer and will have more information to share.
Just wondering what you guys think because so far being my mom's successor trustee and executor
it is has been very difficult dealing with the different companies regarding my mom's financial affairs (closing accounts, getting death benifits, refunds from different sources). It seems everyone has different rules when dealing with a trust estate. I just want to keep it simple.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

MonkeyReview have posted a review on the Muse LT sound card from Hercules.
Okay, this card has some seriously good qualities. Other than a few flaky episodes, it performed nicely under all tests. Installation was a breeze with all Windows based systems (9x/ME/2000/XP), and the test results were uniform across all the systems. All in all, this card is a great little addition to your system. It will certainly top that on-board sound chip, not only in music, but performance too.More information at MonkeyReview

It's official…the Cleveland Cavaliers are now in uncharted waters. After losing their 25th straight game (and counting) to the Dallas Mavericks on Monday, the team now holds the dubious honor of the NBA's longest losing streak, breaking their own record of 24-straight over two seasons in 1982 and 1983.
Not even Ted Stepien could have envisioned a team this bad.
So when will it end? Remaining fans are hoping for a reprieve during a home-stand that opens against Detroit on Wednesday. That game will be the first of eight in a row at home, with an All-Star break sandwiched in the middle.
The streak should be broken at some point during this stretch. Here's a look at their eight opponents and the chances each game has at breaking the Cavs streak.
Detroit Pistons – Wednesday, Feb 9: With a record of 19-32, the Pistons at home offer a reason for hope. But when you're this far down the ladder in the standings, every game feels like the JV team versus the varsity squad. A solid Detroit defense will be a problem for this young Cavs squad. Chance to be a streak-breaker: 20%
LA Clippers – Friday, Feb 11: Last season, this game would have been the obvious choice for a streak-breaker. But with Blake Griffin, the Clippers are no longer the doormat of the NBA. Sadly, that honor is reserved for another team. Chance to be a streak-breaker: 10%
Washington Wizards – Feb, 13: The Wizards have yet to win a road game this season. So if the streak reaches this point, the Cavs would pit their 27-game winless drought against the Wizards 0-25 road record. Ratings bonanza! Chance to be a streak-breaker: 50%
LA Lakers – Feb 16: Maybe Kobe Bryant gets food poisoning and Pau Gasol catches the Cleveland Flu. Chance to be streak-breaker: 1%
Houston Rockets – Feb 23: So far this season, the Cavs have won just a single game against the Western Conference. Not much chance they make it two after the All-Star break when their Swiss cheese defense faces the fourth-highest scoring team in the NBA. Chance to be a streak-breaker: 5%
New York Knicks – Feb 25: It would be fitting if the streak ended here, against the last team the Cavs managed to beat (back on Dec 18th, yikes). Pray it doesn't get this far…someone will definitely remind the Knicks of this blemish on their record before tipoff. Chance to be a streak-breaker: 3%
Philadelphia 76ers – Feb 27: The percentage is low only because the streak will hopefully be long-forgotten by this point. The 76ers are no longer a cellar-dweller but this is a team the Cavs actually defeated TWICE earlier in the season. Chance to be a streak-breaker: 10%
San Antonio Spurs – March 2: Very slim chance the streak goes this long, but if it does, there's a zero percent chance the Cavs defeat the team with the best record in the NBA. This would be the Cavs 33rd loss in a row, which might be more than even the hardiest of Cleveland sports fans can stomach. But hey, at least they'll get on SportsCenter every morning! Chance to be a streak-breaker: Seriously?
Quick math and you'll realize this only adds up to 99%. So maybe there's a small chance this home stretch will not end the misery. At this point, the snowball is rolling down the mountain, only now it's an avalanche of lottery balls that are piling up for the Cavs. It's tough to get excited about lottery picks but at this point, there isn't much else.
Hang in there Cavs fans, better times are ahead

|Pollock inks four-star recruit
MOSCOW - With only five players from the Idaho women's tennis team slated to return for next season, recruiting is crucial to the team's success next year. And on day one of the spring signing period, Idaho coach Dan Pollock is off to a great start, signing Rita Bermudez, the No. 71 ranked women's tennis recruit in the nation according to tennisrecruiting.net, to a National Letter of Intent to become a Vandal next fall.
Bermudez, a senior at Canyon del Oro High School in Tucson, Ariz., is also ranked as a four-star recruit, and won the Arizona Division II State Singles Championship as a high school junior last year.
"We're extremely excited that Rita has chosen to become a Vandal," Pollock said. "She is an excellent player with a record of top quality results against highly ranked opponents that speak for themselves. I expect her to have an immediate positive impact on our lineup next year."
Bermudez is also ranked as the No. 17 player in the Southwest and the No. 3 player in Arizona. Over the last year and a half, Bermudez has compiled a winning record against five-star recruits, including a win over the top-ranked player in the Pacific Northwest. She has also competed successfully at the United States Tennis Association Junior National Tournaments on several occasions.
"She is an aggressive competitor with a great work ethic and someone that is still hungry to improve," Pollock said of Bermudez. "Most importantly she's a great kid and I think she'll fit in seamlessly with the rest of the team on and off the court. I know she is excited to get started in the fall, and I can't wait to start working with her when she arrives on campus in August."
Bermudez has two older brothers who play collegiate tennis; Carlos, a freshman at Arizona, and Dominic is a sophomore at Northern Arizona.

Los Angeles, Calif. - The 21st-ranked UCLA Baseball team will begin a stretch this week where 10 of its next 11 games are on the road as the Bruins take on the Loyola Marymount Lions this Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Page Stadium on the LMU campus.
Tuesday, April 1 - 6:00 p.m.
UCLA – Grant Dyer, RHP, Fr. (3-2, 2.02)
LMU – Brenton Arriaga, LHP, Fr. (1-2, 5.65)
The two schools met earlier in the season at Jackie Robinson Stadium where Loyola Marymount defeated UCLA, 6-1. Last season, the Bruins and the Lions met in a three-game series at Jackie Robinson Stadium with UCLA winning two of those matchups. This will be the second of three games between the two schools this season while the all-time series between UCLA and Loyola Marymount is tied at 47-47-1.
Tomorrow's game against Loyola Marymount will feature a live audio broadcast online, free of charge, at uclabruins.com. John Ramey and Tim Wilhelm will have the call live from Page Stadium. Fans can also follow the game online through a live stats link, which provides pitch-by-pitch updates on uclabruins.com. Links can be found on the front page of uclabruins.com on the events calendar or on the 2014 UCLA Baseball schedule page.
Freshman right-hander Grant Dyer will once again take the mound for the Bruins tomorrow night. Dyer made his collegiate debut on Feb. 15 against Portland, pitching a scoreless inning in relief in UCLA's 12-1 win over the Pilots. In his first start against Cal State Northridge on Feb. 18, Dyer earned the win with five shutout innings while allowing just two hits and fanning three. In four midweek starts this season, he is 3-2 with a 2.70 ERA and 15 strikeouts. Overall, Dyer has posted a 2.02 ERA in 11 appearances, the eighth-lowest ERA in the Pac-12, and has allowed the fourth-fewest hits (21) and fifth-lowest opposing batting average (.179) in the conference. In high school, Dyer was a three-year varsity letterwinner at Dana Hills High School in Laguna Niguel, Calif., posting a 6-4 record as a senior in 2013. He also logged a 1.24 ERA and 54 strikeouts in 62 innings pitched, all while holding opponents to a .208 batting average against him. Additionally, Dyer tossed four complete games and walked only eight batters during his senior season.
UCLA's pitching staff has picked up right where it left off in 2013 as the Bruins continue to string together great performances on the mound this season. UCLA as a team is holding opponents to a .210 batting average, the second-lowest in the conference. The Bruins have also allowed the third-fewest hits (178), fewest walks (62) and own the second-lowest ERA (2.68) in the Pac-12. The Bruins' pitchers also own a WHIP of 1.01, tops in the Pac-12. UCLA's starting quartet of James Kaprielian, Grant Watson, Cody Poteet and Grant Dyer have posted an ERA of 2.94 in 26 starts this season while holding opponents to a .211 batting average. The Bruins have also allowed two runs or less to the opposition in seven of their last 11 contests and in the last two seasons are 54-3 when holding the opposing team to three runs or fewer.
UCLA has won 21 of its last 27 midweek games dating back to the 2012 season. The Bruins went 7-4 in midweek games last season, defeating UC Santa Barbara, Long Beach State, Cal State Northridge and UC Irvine on the road and Hawai'i, UC Santa Barbara and UC Irvine at home. This season, UCLA is 3-2 in midweek games.
In the last two seasons, UCLA has done a tremendous job of getting an early lead and then not relinquishing that lead. The Bruins are a combined 39-9 when they score first in the last two seasons and since the start of 2013 are 54-1 when leading after the seventh inning. Additionally, UCLA has a record of 25-5 in the last two seasons when scoring in the first inning.
The Bruins have done an excellent job this season of laying down sacrifice bunts. UCLA ranked 12th in the nation entering last week and is currently second in the Pac-12 with 40 sacrifice bunts. Freshman Luke Persico leads the Bruins and is fifth in the Pac-12 with seven sacrifice bunts while senior Brian Carroll is second on the team with six. Sophomore Trent Chatterton is right behind Carroll with five. Last season, UCLA set a school record with 76 sacrifice bunts. In the sacrifice fly category, the Bruins have recorded 10 on the year with sophomore Christoph Bono and junior Chris Keck leading the way with two sacrifice flies apiece.
Senior Kevin Williams has been swinging the bat well as of late since returning to the Bruins' lineup from injury on March 7. Williams is currently on a five-game hitting streak while posting a batting average of .500, four runs and seven RBI in those five games. Overall, Williams leads the Bruins with a .324 batting average, nine RBI and two home runs in conference games. In his four-year career, Williams has played in 139 games, batting .262 with 56 runs and 51 RBI.
Since the start of 2010, UCLA has gone 85-34 in all road and neutral site contests, good for a .714 winning percentage. The Bruins have also gone 43-17 in Pac-12 road games since 2010. In the last two seasons, UCLA has gone 40-12 on the road and 10-2 in neutral site games. The Bruins have logged six Pac-12 road sweeps in the last four years (2010 at Washington, California; 2011 at Oregon; 2012 at Washington, Utah; 2013 at USC; 2014 at California) and one non-conference road sweep (2012 at Georgia). The Bruins went 17-8 on the road in 2013, winning series at Baylor, Oregon, Washington State and USC and are currently 4-0 on the road this season. UCLA has also won 15 consecutive games away from Jackie Robinson Stadium dating back to last season.
UCLA came in at No. 21 in this week's Baseball America top-25 poll, marking the 42nd consecutive week that the Bruins have been ranked in the top 25. The Bruins last dropped out of the poll on May 22, 2011. UCLA finished the 2013 season ranked No. 1 in each of the nation's major polls. In the last four seasons, the Bruins have been ranked in the top 10 by Baseball America a total of 17 times. UCLA also concluded the 2013 campaign with an RPI of 9 and the No. 2 strength of schedule according to boydsworld.com.
Senior Brian Carroll and sophomore Christoph Bono are both having strong 2014 seasons thus far. Carroll, a San Diego, Calif. native, is batting at a .319 clip so far, scoring a team-high 18 runs. Serving as the leadoff hitter in every game thus far, Carroll has posted a .443 on-base percentage and has hit safely in 15 of his last 16 games. In the last 16 games, Carroll has batted .349 with 11 runs scored. He has also reached base safely in 21 of his last 22 games and his .443 on-base percentage ranks ninth in the Pac-12. Bono, Carroll's counterpart in right field, has been on a tear as of late, hitting safely in 12 of his last 14 games and logging at least one RBI in nine of those 14 games. Bono is currently batting .296 overall with a team-high eight doubles, fifth-most in the conference, and has batted .321 since UCLA's game on March 7 vs. Pepperdine. Bono also leads the team in RBI (16), is second to Shane Zeile for the team lead in multi-hit games (9), is second to Carroll with 13 runs scored and is third on the team with a .398 slugging percentage. Finally in left field, sophomore Ty Moore has hit safely in 11 of his last 14 contests and is batting .340 with nine RBI and a .450 OBP in his last 14 games.
UCLA has done a remarkable job this season of reaching base via the hit by pitch. Overall, UCLA hitters have been hit 43 times in 26 games thus far, second only to Washington for the Pac-12 lead. Senior Brian Carroll leads the Bruins individually with nine hit by pitches while sophomore Ty Moore has been hit eight times. Last weekend, UCLA drew 12 hit by pitches in its three-game set with Arizona State, including five in the series finale on Sunday. Last season, the Bruins drew 82 hit by pitches, the most in the Pac-12 Conference.
All-American closer David Berg has enjoyed as fine a career as any reliever in the history of college baseball. In three seasons, Berg has made a school record 122 appearances, breaking the previous mark of 119 set by Bill Wenrick from 1984-87, and has posted a 15-4 record with a 1.32 ERA. Berg also owns the NCAA single-season record for saves with 24 in 2013 and tied the NCAA record for most appearances in a season with 51 last year. Additionally, he became the first reliever in conference history to win Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year last season and was UCLA's first recipient of the NCBWA Stopper of the Year Award, given out to the nation's top relief pitcher. Berg was named to the All-Pac-12 Team for the second time in his career in 2013, making him just the 25th UCLA player all-time to receive all-conference acclaim at least twice. In addition, he finished second in the country in both WHIP (0.85) and ERA last year. Finally, Berg is the only pitcher in UCLA history to lead the conference in ERA in back-to-back seasons and is UCLA's all-time record holder for most postseason appearances (17), postseason saves (6) and career saves (32). This season, Berg has thrown 32.1 innings in a conference-leading 21 appearances, all while logging a 3-1 record, seven saves and a 1.95 ERA (seventh-lowest in the Pac-12). Berg has also won his last 11 of his last 12 decisions dating back to 2012 and his seven saves are second-most in the conference.
Junior catcher Shane Zeile has continued to hit the ball well at the plate during the 2014 season. The Valencia, Calif. native leads the Bruins and ranks seventh in the Pac-12 with a .367 batting average. Zeile, who was named to the 2014 Johnny Bench Award Watch List, given out to the nation's top collegiate catcher, has also logged a team-high 10 multi-hit games while leading UCLA with 36 total hits, 12 walks and a .447 on-base percentage. His on-base percentage currently ranks eighth in the conference and his 33 hits ranks sixth. Zeile has also reached base safely in his last 10 games. Behind the plate, he has handled a pitching staff that has allowed the second-lowest opposing batting average (.210) and second-lowest ERA (2.68) in the conference.
Head coach John Savage was named the 2013 National Coach of the Year by Collegiate Baseball, Baseball America, the ABCA and Perfect Game USA. By guiding the Bruins to their second straight College World Series last year, Savage became one of just 10 coaches all-time from the Pac-12 to lead their teams to back-to-back College World Series appearances. Additionally, Savage is one of just five coaches in college baseball history to have led his team to one CWS championship, produced a No. 1 MLB Draft pick and coached a Golden Spikes Award winner. Savage helped UCLA post an overall 49-17 record in 2013, marking the second-highest single-season win total in school history, and is UCLA's all-time winningest postseason manager with 32 postseason victories. UCLA also matched a school record with 21 conference victories in 2013. Finally, Savage has guided the Bruins to the postseason in seven of the last eight seasons and has a staggering winning percentage staggering .703 since 2010.

Bloomberg Assailed in Trial's Closing Arguments
An attorney for the Queens political operative accused of stealing $1.1 million from Mayor Michael Bloomberg called New York City's billionaire chief executive arrogant and duplicitous during closing arguments Tuesday.
Dennis Vacco, a former state attorney general who is representing John Haggerty in the high-profile case, delivered a two hour and 37 minute address to the jury that continuously attacked the mayor, ridiculed his closest advisers and raised numerous questions about ethics inside City Hall. Haggerty, a volunteer on Bloomberg's 2009 re-election campaign, is accused of buying a Queens home with money intended to be spent on a ballot security operation.
In his closing remarks Tuesday, Vacco cited the mayor's testimony in which he told the jury he could have accomplished "a lot of good" with the money Haggerty allegedly stole. "I say it's arrogant. I say it's duplicitous," Vacco said, noting that Bloomberg spent more than $100 million on his 2009 campaign.
Vacco described the mayor's top aides, including First Deputy Mayor Patricia Harris and former Deputy Mayor Kevin Sheekey, as desperate to do anything to help the mayor win re-election and preserve his combination of political power and extraordinary wealth. The defense attorney described the mayor and his aides as "one big happy family," with his surrogates "all feeding off Bloomberg's money and power."
Jason Post, a spokesman hired by the mayor to represent him during the trial, declined Tuesday afternoon to comment. He referred The Wall Street Journal to a statement he made Monday in which he defended the mayor's testimony as accurate.
Haggerty, 42 years old, is standing trial on charges of grand larceny and money laundering. If convicted of the most serious charge, he could be sentenced to prison for up to 25 years.
According to prosecutors, Haggerty arranged for the mayor to send $1.2 million of his personal fortune to the state Independence Party, of which $1.1 million was intended to be spent on an Election Day ballot security and poll-watching operation. Prosecutors said Haggerty stole the money and used it to buy a home in Queens.
In his closing argument, Vacco told the jurors that Haggerty did not commit a crime and suggested the money that Haggerty kept, roughly $750,000, was money he earned legitimately for his services.
"Now, that's a lot of money. There's no two ways about it," Vacco told the jury. "It's a lot of money. But it's not a crime."
Vacco spent a considerable amount of time trying to downplay the significance of a budget that Haggerty submitted to the Bloomberg campaign that purportedly outlined how he intended to spend the money on the ballot security operation. Vacco said the mayor's aides never relied on that document, pointing the jurors specifically to an e-mail from one Bloomberg aide saying that she planned to send the money even before she saw the budget.
During the trial, the mayor and many aides testified that they never would have transferred the money to the Independence Party if they had known Haggerty planned to use the money to buy a home.
The trial has offered a rare glimpse into the secretive inner workings of Bloomberg's 2009 re-election campaign. The courtroom proceedings also created the rare spectacle of a sitting mayor and his closest aides being questioned under oath about matters they typically would not discuss publicly.
Vacco accused the mayor of misrepresenting his relationship with Haggerty when he testified earlier this month. Bloomberg left jurors with the impression that he barely knew Haggerty, but the defense offered evidence that Haggerty was sitting with the mayor and his closest aides in the campaign's "boiler room" on Election Night.
Post, the mayor's spokesman, said on Monday that many aides were in and out of that room.
Vacco raised questions about conflicts of interest at City Hall, saying the mayor's aides freely move from handling government business, campaign work and the mayor's philanthropy to his private business. Mocking the mayor's aides, the defense attorney said sometimes they're wearing the "deputy mayor hat" and a moment later they're a campaign aide.
"In their world, it didn't make any difference," Vacco said. There's "shifting hats, shifting roles, shifting responsibilities."
While many good government groups have raised concerns over the years about the various roles that aides play for the mayor, Bloomberg has never been cited by the city's Conflicts of Interest Board for any wrongdoing.
Vacco also claimed the mayor tried to hide his plans to spend money on ballot security by funneling the money through the Independence Party. The mayor and others testified that these types of operations have traditionally been performed by political parties.

Anyone in the tutoring profession or has supported a tutoring program or center sites can best advise that tutoring delivery can vary from face-to-face one-on-one tutoring, group tutoring, peer tutoring, online, or web-developed tutoring programs. Such variety of delivery has definitely changed the way students are learning.
Oftentimes, if you ask any tutors, they can best advise that the most effective method for this form of instruction is based on the student's learning styles, preferences, comfort level and other factors, such as location, cost and materials used to support the student. There really is no 'right' method to provide instructional support outside of the regular classroom.
Students can best benefit, however, with an instructor or tutor who can meet their learning styles, any special accommodations, preferences in curriculum used and zeroing on areas of challenges or difficulties.
Tutoring delivery has certainly changed over the years with the introduction of web-based or virtual or online support. This multi-disciplinary approach has served several benefits, but also poses some challenges. Benefits can be the flexibility of accommodating student's schedule and creating less-stress environment where students do not have to worry about transportation to get to tutoring center. Materials can be easily uploaded to a portal, for instance, where access to curriculum and materials are easily retrievable.
However, some students who elect virtual support find that feedback may not be timely and this mode can lose the interactive essence of learning. If tutoring is not done face-to-face, students tend to lose the affiliation with peers and connection with their school or institution, thus creating that gap in active participation. Students who are more autonomous and can self-study or self-pace may not find this problematic.
Whether instruction is delivered at a virtual platform, group-setting, or one-on-one tutoring at library or at home, it is imperative to set clear guidelines and expectations. Tutors and students must establish a connection and understanding about what their roles are.
Students may only expect to receive scaffolding in specific areas or challenged courses. While, some tutors may only provide support and guidance with test preparation for specific subjects. In this case, both needs to understand which mode of delivery of instruction is best for the student to meet the student's learning needs as well as establish the frequency of support (once a week, daily after school, etc). Both must also understand the goals for tutoring sessions in order to maximize time and create a win-win solution.
Finally, feedback is critical when engaging in tutoring sessions. Tutors need to provide timely, clear insights and observations to the lessons provided and share with the student how he or she can continue to improve. Feedback should be that – sharing how the session went, what other areas the tutor must continue to focus on, and overall, evaluate student learning. This is a reciprocal engagement in action as the student also needs to address how he or she is able to learn, what methods or techniques work, and if improvement for future tutoring sessions may involve evaluating the time spent, materials used, etc. All must be considered when delivering tutoring, whether online or face-to-face.

Call it the Bayh buy. Congressman Brad Ellsworth, who is seeking the senate seat being vacated by Evan Bayh, cast a vote for the disaster that is the recently passed health care bill. Ellsworth, who hails from a fairly conservative district and fancies himself a fiscally responsible "blue dog" democrat, stands to pay dearly for his vote. Bayh tried to balance it out by paying him $1 million for his troubles.
Million Dollar Vote of Confidence?
Bayh called the "donation" a "million dollar vote of confidence." Unfortunately for Ellsworth, not even a million dollars is going to convince Hoosiers that this bill is anything but an unconstitutional destruction of private insurance, not to mention, liberty.
Mr. Ellsworth, we have a Message for You
Recent polls show Ellsworth trailing any of the three republican front-runners by anywhere from 10 to 20 percentage points, depending upon who you ask. Those numbers are from right before this vote on health care. This health care bill will do the same thing to the Ellsworth deficit that it is going to do to the national deficit – explode it drastically. Ellsworth will be 25 points in the hole by May.
I Was Wrong
After Evan Bayh announced his retirement, your humble conservative examiner wrote an article painting him as the victim of a liberal kamikaze Congress, content to destroy their political careers in order to advance their political agenda before the adults take Congress back this November.
I could not have been more wrong. With Bayh supporting this bill and encouraging Ellsworth to do the same, it is quite clear that he is part of the kamikaze Congress. The Evan Bayh that governed the state of Indiana from the center, cut taxes and served the will of the people is dead. Dead and gone.
The old Evan Bayh has been replaced by a coward. A coward who, like his suicide bomber Congressional democratic colleagues wants to see liberalism ruin America as we know it. The difference between Bayh and the rest of the traitors in Congress is that he does not even have the intestinal fortitude to own up to who he is and what he stands for. He is pushing a liberal bill down the throat of his constituents who overwhelmingly oppose it all the while hiding behind a moderate façade and blaming virtually everyone else for a lack of bipartisan politics.
The Bottom Line
Ellsworth is sunk. The republicans could nominate anyone shy of Satan and Ellsworth would lose, big time. He would even lose his house seat if he were running for that. His ole buddy Baron Hill will be joining him in the unemployment office after this November. Baring a seismic shift in the political landscape, Bayh is done too. At least in Indiana.
Americans, and Hoosiers specifically, are mad as hell. They will not forget this betrayal and they will not forgive the Benedict Arnolds who are responsible.
Bayh just ruined his legacy, and Ellsworth ensured that he never gets a chance to have one.
