After a couple of weeks at No. 12, the men's indoor track and field team moved back up to No. 6 in the lastest USTFCCCA poll.
The women, as they have all season, remained No. 1.

On the women's side, the Ducks were followed by LSU, Arkansas, Texas and Texas A&M.

Hand BurntHi,
My Husband bought this for me and on my first usage I burnt my hand. The glove is too short, barely covers the palm and the curler is long enough to burn your wrist, so thats what happened with me. My wrist is burnt pretty badly, even after 5 days now :(
If used with extra extra precaution then it's a good product coz curls are good.May 23, 2011Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling IronHAIR TYPEBlack / Normal Hair

Best Curling Iron I've Found !This curling iron is amazing. I came on Folica.com to buy the Enzo Milano curling iron at first because i heard so many great things about it, but when i got on here i saw this one and read all the reviews and watched the tutorials online and so i decided to give it a try. Well let me tell you it is the BEST THING I'VE EVER USED ! my hair is naturally very curly and frizzy and im a bottle blonde which makes it worse. whenever curling my hair i blow dry it straight first and then curl it- because i have to skip the flat iron in between (or my hair wont curl) my curls always frizzed and get clamp marks easy. i used this iron after i blow dried my hair straight and i got absolutely no frizz, it made my curl soft and smooth even after 2 days. The curls held beautifully!! after sleeping on them they relaxed alot but still had a beautiful beachy wave. I've even used it after leaving my hair straight for 2 days (with the flat iron) and then curled it on the third day and threw it in a side pony because i didnt want to have to wash it and straighten it all over again and the curls were just as nice as when i use it on just blow dried hair. I would reccomend this curling iron for anyone ! Just watch out the first couple of times you used it, i burnt my finger and neck the first time but once you get the hang of it its a breeze.May 20, 2011Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling IronHAIR TYPEBlonde / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair

Bad OneOkay, expect burning your fingers along with not having nice curls as promised. I am not sure what was wrong with the one which had clips that they started with these clipless ones. The hair in the back of your head is also hard to curl with this product. It is not recommended.May 20, 2011Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling IronHAIR TYPEThick or Coarse Hair

To My SupriseI saw this curler on youtube, and i wanted to see if it was all that. To my suprise, it was! i had a 1 1/2 inch clamp curler before and the curls would fall out in an hour or so and my hair would look like a mess but not with this one. Your curls will last allday, you dont even have to use hair spray! You can curl your hair diffrent ways too so you always have options. i recomend you wear the glove because the curler gets pretty hot. FIVE STARS! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!May 18, 2011Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling Iron

Heats FastIt gets hot fast and has an auto shut off. The things I don't like about it is that YOU MUST WEAR THE GLOVE!!! Or you will burn yourself, you have to be very careful when you use it. Not only that when you are curling your thumb rests on the on/off button. I found myself shutting it off by accident a lot when I was using it. It gives your hair a different kind of curl more like a wave.. the ends are not as curly because you don't want ur fingers to get burned when your curling your hair. I don't think I will be buying a clipless iron again.May 16, 2011Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling IronHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Love The Kickstand!I've tried a few different clipless curling irons, and for the most party my hair has always curled pretty easily and stayed for a while. What is different and I like about this particular clipless is first, the heat settings. My hair type definitely does not need the hottest setting, and that option exists with this iron to turn down the heat setting whereas with other clipless irons, I'm stuck frying my hair. Second, the kickstand! It is so easy to set it down on my countertop and not worry about it destroying the top or finding some heat proof mat to set it on! The kickstand is great, and I haven't found that on any other clipless irons. Overall I think it is a great product and a notch above the others. Well worth the price!May 13, 2011Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling IronHAIR TYPEBlonde / Normal Hair

Curls All DayThis is my first experience with a clipless iron and it took my about a weeks worth of practice to get it right. I don't use the glove that comes with it because my hair is so fine that I can't feel it through the glove. I bought the 3/4 inch iron and I wish I would have gone a little larger since I really wanted waves more than tight curls. The best part of this iron is that the curls really do hold all day. Since I have thin fine hair the curls usually fall out by lunchtime and I have to pull it up. Curling with this iron I have not had that problem they stay all day. Also, it heats up very quickly which makes touchups a breeze! Overall I like it very much I just wish I would have gone with the bigger one.May 11, 2011Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling IronHAIR TYPECurly Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Synthetic Hair

Super Fantastic!I recieved this curling iron from my husband as my birthday present and I LOVE IT! It's so easy to use and I love the fact that you can adjust the temp on it. I have alot of hair that usually takes FOREVER to either flat iron or curl, but with the Sedu I can curl my hair in literally 10 mins! I will never use another curling iron again�May 10, 2011Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling IronHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Thick or Coarse Hair

Best Clipless Curler, Hands Down.Usually I like to wait a couple months before writing a review on a product, to extensively try it but after two uses, I AM COMPLETELY HOOKED. It makes the most perfect waves and the most perfect curls, depending on what your going for. I use it for beachy waves like usual, but ive tried it and it makes tight ringlets exactly like a clip curler. I feel like you cant go wrong with this item, its so versatile.
I chose the 19mm version, I feel like its the best buy because you can tighten the hair and make tighter curls, or wrap it looser for the same effect the 25mm gives. I think you can do more with it, but thats just my opinion.
I was a little confused on how the heat settings worked, but if you click the power button a couple times I figured it out. And the glove it comes with does prevent you from getting burned, but i have medium length hair and have to hold onto it a lot and it does get quite hot, just gotta be careful. AND THIS THING GETS HOT watch out, i tapped my ear the first time because i had never used anything like this but I'm getting used to it and getting a technique.
Bottom line: BUY THIS its my favorite hair tool of all time as of right now

Earthquakes are rather common out here in California. There is no way to prevent, or even completely prepare for an earthquake. However there are some things you can do in advance to minimize the damage caused by an earthquake.
- Have an earthquake plan in place. Designate who will turn off the utilities after a quake, and where everyone will meet up.
- Keep heavier items on lower shelves rather than on higher ones. This will minimize the chance of something falling on someone.
- Secure all high heavy furniture to a wall, be sure to secure it into a stud in the wall. Falling furniture is a big danger to personal safety in an earthquake.
- Install child safe latches on your cupboards to minimize falling objects.
- Ensure that any hanging plants or light fixtures are secure.
- Keep a set of tools handy for turning off the utilities after the quake.
- Prepare a 72 hour emergency kit for each person in the household. After a major disaster help may take some time to get to you. You should be prepared to survive at least 72 hours on your own. This means food, water, and medical supplies should be available to each household member for at least 72 hours.

Just yesterday, Aug. 26, 2014, Anne Curtis responded to the challenge. With the help of her boyfriend, Erwan Heusaff, the controversial actress/TV host accepted the ice bucket challenge after she was nominated by fellow ABS-CBN star Billy Crawford. On her Instagram account, Anne Curtis, who is one of the most followed celebrities on the micro-blogging site Twitter, posted a video of her doing the challenge.
She then nominated Regine Velasquez, Luis Manzano, Angel Locsin, Sarah Geronimo and hunk actor Matteo Guidicelli. It was the pop star's second nomination, but as of this evening, (Manila time) Sarah Geronimo is still not showing interest if she is willing or not to do the ice bucket challenge.
Sarah Geronimo received her first nomination from Broadway star and "The Voice of the Philippines" co-mentors Lea Salonga several days ago, but like what some say, the pop star is still not issuing any statement regarding the challenge. Is she willing to take it or not?
Meanwhile, if the pop star is still not responding, her boyfriend, actor-athlete Matteo Guidicelli, responded to it. You guys can visit his Instagram account to watch a video of him doing the ice bucket challenge. Before doing it, Matteo tagged Rowell Santiago, Louie Ocampo and Steve Mark Gan.
The challenge is aiming to raise awareness of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or ALS otherwise known as the Lou Gehrig's disease. The challenge is daring participants to dump a bucket of ice water on their head or donate the ALS Foundation. As of Tuesday, said foundation has reportedly received US$80M in donations.

From: Catherine Mulcahey, attorney at law in Palm Beach County Florida.
Tired Of Dealing With Banks That Don't Care?
Lets face it, most foreclosures are happening to people just like you and me. People that have never been in financial trouble in their lives. They're totally unprepared and are being led around and many times lied to by the very institutions they trusted for years.
The video below is only one minute thirty two seconds long. Watching it could literally change your life for the better. There is absolutely no charge or obligation to Discover How To Fight Back.
In 2009 I was part of an organization submitting foreclosure information to a task force appointed by the Florida Supreme Court. This task force was made up of judges, mediators, bankers, and attorneys who represent both sides in foreclosure cases. In their report, adopted by the Florida Supreme Court in December of 2009, was a mind boggling statistic. 95% of foreclosure defendants had no attorney.
The sad fact is many of these homeowners probably had a defense, but no one was on their side representing them. You may be in that place right now and not know where to turn. The bank doesn't care and the legal system is bewildering. Whats worse, you're afraid of losing your home. Try not to blame yourself, you can't fight back when you are alone and being attacked from all angles.
You Need These Questions Answered BEFORE It's Too Late-
How long does it take for the bank to foreclose?
Can I just give my house back?
Bankruptcy & Foreclosure- Will this help or hurt me?
Do I get a free pass if the bank has lost my original note?
Discover the answer to these and MANY other questions in my videos. Just click the link on top of this page to see a selection of them.

Over the years, my research has evolved from studies of global video and television content and telecommunication policies to encompass social and behavioral applications of digital technologies in general. One theme that has remained constant in my work involves policies and practices that intentionally or unintentionally marginalize particular social groups. I've edited, co-edited, authored and co-authored over 20 books (and counting) that often deal with some of the newest technologies and policies that influence social interaction. My current research focuses on issues of those who are excluded from participating in the Information (or Post-Information) Society, to those who use social networking for a wide range of purposes.

On March 3, the Chico Movie Examiner conducted an over-the-phone interview with actress Deirdre Lorenz about her new film, "Santorini Blue," which she also co-wrote with director and co-star Matthew Panepinto.
"Santorini Blue," which is now available on DVD, tells the story of Alexandra Ronda (Lorenz), who is married to filmmaker Felix Ronda (Panepinto). Their marriage has been uneven as of late, and to make matters worse, she discovers that Felix has been having an affair. Alexandra flees New York to go spend some time in Santorini, Greece. However, Felix comes to realize that he made a mistake, and he travels to Santorini to try to win her back. At the same time, Felix has a producer (Richard Belzer) breathing down his neck about getting a script finished.
Lorenz talks about the film; some of her past projects; and how she would feel if she landed the lead role on a popular HBO show.
Check out the full interview below.
David Wangberg: The beginning of "Santorini Blue" focuses on the press junket, and the producers tell Felix that he should talk more about the actors because they're the most important thing about his film. Now, we aren't at a press junket, but we are doing a phone interview about this film. What do you think is the most important thing we should be discussing?
Deirdre Lorenz: I think the biggest thing is it takes you on a journey. It's a fun, cinematic experience, and the most important thing is if you want to have a pleasurable vacation, watch this film. That's the most important thing – not that we have an awesome cast of really talented, well-known actors. I think, most importantly about the film, is if you watch it, you will be totally impressed with the fantastic beauty of travelling and going to the city of New York and then going to Santorini, Greece. Meanwhile, [you are] listening to a great story and watching talented people share that story.
David Wangberg: If you were going through a situation like this, what would be the first location on your mind to which you would want to get away?
Deirdre Lorenz: [laughs] Well, since I live in New York, I want to get away to Greece. It's freezing cold here in New York. We just got another snowfall last night, so, of course, I'm Santorini dreaming right now. I've seen some pictures that my friends have made over the years in Santorini. The coolest thing about it is that it's sunny; there's a volcano; and people are getting ready to go swimming and walking on the beaches. I am dreaming about Santorini right now.
David Wangberg: [laughs] Well, I'm out in California right now, and we're finally starting to get some rain.
Deirdre Lorenz: I know. I guess we're all dreaming of the Greek Islands right now, huh? [laughs]
David Wangberg: There's a great scene where the hotel manager tells Felix it's an honor to have him stay at his place, but then he confesses that he's never seen a single one of his films. If someone came up to you and said to you, "It's an honor to meet you, but I have yet to see something you've done," which of your projects would you tell him or her to watch first – as an introductory piece to your work?
Deirdre Lorenz: Honestly, "Santorini Blue" is my most proud accomplishment. I really feel like it shares a range of my work, and it has most of my performing in it. In addition to that, I would have loved them to see me in a play last year that I was really proud of. Of course, my first commercial – a community service commercial I did when I was 10. [laughs]
So, the beginning up until now, I guess.
David Wangberg: "Santorini Blue" is the first lead performance you have done, correct?
Deirdre Lorenz: Yes.
David Wangberg: And I know that this is a reunion for you with Ice-T and Richard Belzer. But had you known them before doing "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit?"
Deirdre Lorenz: Yes. Actually, Matthew Panepinto, who is the director and my co-writer, he worked as a production assistant on the show. So, he was working with them. We met on the set and became friends, and we talked about making films together. So, we started making short films with his friends from "Law and Order," and then I met them through doing short films and we all became friends. By the time we wanted to do the feature film, we pitched them, and they were like, "Yeah," since they had already worked with us on several short films, which were a lot of fun.
David Wangberg: Now, I have to confess; I have never been to a press junket for a film, TV show, or anything. All of my interviews are done over the phone, through Skype, or even email. In your profession, what is something that everyone else has done, but you haven't?
Deirdre Lorenz: Well, a lot of things – unfortunately, a lot. I have a huge list of things I want to do. In my profession, though, I've been really fortunate because I've been able to try a lot of different things. I've worked as a production assistant; I worked in catering and craft services; I served snacks to people; I've been the person carrying the equipment out to the trucks. Everything from that to the writing to directing – I directed and wrote my first TV pilot last year. As far as what I still haven't done, I haven't landed a recurring role on a series. I would really love to do that.
David Wangberg: Yeah, I know you've done a couple of singular episodes for both "The Sopranos" and "Law and Order." Both of those are crime dramas. Is there any other kind of TV genre that you would like to explore?
Deirdre Lorenz: I honestly have to say, any kind of good script, whether it be crime drama to even… I mean, I just watched another episode of "True Detective," and it's just a phenomenal show. So, crime drama to comedy. I had little bit parts last year on one of the last episodes of "30 Rock" with Alec Baldwin, and it was so fun. I mean you had to hold back from laughing. It is so much fun to work in comedy. So, the next thing could be some fun, comedy role. There are so many great, smart comedies out there right now. I'd love to do one of those.
David Wangberg: And I agree with you about "True Detective." I've watched every single episode, and I just love it.
Deirdre Lorenz: It's phenomenal. Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson – they're so great, and the writing is so clever. Every episode, you are just on the edge of your seat. It's very, very smart.
David Wangberg: I know we're kind of diverting from "Santorini Blue," but there was a thing I saw yesterday about "True Detective." The creator leaked it, but then he got rid of the tweet saying there's a potential that they may have female detectives for next season, instead of male detectives. So, how would you feel about going on there and being one of the detectives?
Deirdre Lorenz: All I can say is, "Are you kidding me?" I'm going to freaking submit myself tomorrow morning. I would… I can't tell you what I would do for that. [laughs]
I would love to be on that show and play a character like that. I mean, I played a character called Detective Nina Gardner, an undercover detective on "Law and Order: SVU." I've been hoping they'll call me back on that, because I'm on the roster, and it was really fun to work with Chris Meloni on that. Now, you just kind of hope that once you play a really cool and smart character like that, you get called back. So, "True Detective," bring it on.
David Wangberg: Unfortunately, I saw that Chris is no longer on "SVU." I haven't watched the show in a couple of years, but I know he's doing some other show at the moment.
Deirdre Lorenz: I know. He left and went to "True Blood." He's been doing a bunch of different projects. He's doing really well.
David Wangberg: Back to "Santorini Blue," the hotel manager also says: "Santorini is a very special place for lovers. People come as strangers, but they leave together." Could that last part also be true about the films and shows you've done, where people come in as strangers but leave as friends?
Deirdre Lorenz: Exactly. Whatever happens on the project, you all come there like it's the first day of school. You're kind of scared; you don't know; you're excited; you're nervous; you connect with people creatively; and then personally as well. You really hope for that. There are some people you really bond with, and other people not as much. But no matter what, you're family. That film family or that episode family – whatever it is. And "Santorini Blue," I have to tell you, the crew, the cast, the pre-production, the post-production, the communities, we are such a film family. When I send my updates out to all the supporters of the project, whenever big news happens, I'm like: "To my film family…" I mean, it's really a family.
David Wangberg: Felix tells your character, "A good writer writes every day." Not only do you act, but you directed that one film and you also do your modeling. What is it that you do to make yourself be a good actor, a good model, or a good anything?
Deirdre Lorenz: Everything I do, I do with heart and with passion for. I really try to put my 100 percent out with whatever I'm doing. I don't like to waste time. Every day, I wake up and make a list – whether it's mentally or written down – what I want to accomplish that day with my life and how I can move myself forward in some way with whatever projects I'm working on. So, in order to develop myself, I keep setting goals, and I keep rehearsing; keep preparing for different areas; and keep preparing for auditions. Whatever I go into, you have to put your best foot forward in life. And if you don't, why show up? I mean, we have to be there 1,000 percent. Otherwise, there's no point.
David Wangberg: That's all I have for you, unless you wanted to add something about "Santorini Blue" or any of the other things you've done.
Deirdre Lorenz: As far as "Santorini Blue," it's a really worthwhile film. It's a really peaceful, tender film that does take you on a journey. Give it a chance. I hope everyone goes and sees it. It would really make me happy, and I think they'll leave better than when they arrived.
This concludes the interview, but the Chico Movie Examiner would like to thank Deidre Lorenz for taking the time to talk about "Santorini Blue."

[Fic] The Blackest of Angels
Never before could I remember seeing the Temple as empty as it was tonight.
The war was over that much had been verified three months ago, when an armistice was signed and yet my spirit wasnt at rest. Many of the Masters and Knights were as of yet on reassignment working throughout the galaxy to begin the long road of reconstruction. The Mandalorians had wrought far more damage on the Republic than many would have thought possible, given their numbers and their minority in the face of the grand armada that the Republic had at its disposal, and many planets were left broken and in ruin. But the Jedi were playing their part, helping to restore those planets and reassure the people but not me. I had been forbidden from leaving Coruscant from leaving the
, even but I was not given the reason why and thus the reason for my agitation.
It was the third night of my sleeplessness that I found myself wandering the dark, empty halls of the vast headquarters of the Jedi. It was a home, once, to me and to thousands of Padawans and students. But that had changed. Since the beginning of the war, it had become more of a fortress a stubborn one, an inactive one, but a fortress nonetheless. The Jedi had never full engaged in the war, and so talk of battle plans were rarely ever heard in its desolate halls but the easy spirit of knowledge and learning had evaporated in the light of our leaving. The students were solemn, the masters grave. Though none of them had lifted a finger towards supporting the front lines, the echoes of war wound constantly through the empty air of these cold, unfeeling corridors the very
seemed to glare hatefully at me as I passed through on my restless way, almost as if the building itself was reproving me for doing what I had to do for defending it, its inhabitants, and everything it stood for. This Temple, this place that was once a sanctuary had forever closed its doors to me. I was no longer the Padawan who had learned in its classrooms. I was a new person, a different Jedi and an alien.
Though every corridor and room I had passed was dark and uninhabited, there ahead of me was a beam of blue-white light streaming out across the flagstones and it was this beacon that brought me from my revere. A frown furrowed my brow, for it was late and there was only one person that I could imagine staying up until this hour. And sure enough, it was the Archives that I found myself on the threshold of and there was a single lone figure sitting at one of the work stations, a curtain of short, dark hair hiding her face from me. My footsteps were silent.
Have you noticed what time it is?
The sun is just rising on Dantooine. It can be considered a reasonable enough hour to work there, dont you think?
Ah of course. Nothing seemed to startle her anymore she probably knew of my approach long before I had even realized that I was not alone in my insomnia. She didnt look up from her work the small stacks of datapads lay at her right, her own personal pad sitting beneath her hand as she took notes both there, and in a portable computer station that was sitting directly before her. Her right hand scratched notes across the screen of her datapad, the curling, elegant script that I knew so well carrying a new jaggedness about it almost as if the movement of her hands were impatient, as if she werent working nearly as quickly as she would have liked. Her left hand held her head, her palm pressed to her temple beneath the sheet of midnight-black locks, the position making it impossible to discern her features from where I stood. But I didnt need to see her face to know with whom I spoke. Over the many years Ive spent by her side, I had become so in tune with her presence that regardless of where I was a few feet away, or in a different system entirely she was always blip in the back of my mind, a reminder that I could never ignore not that I would ever want to.
And Im sure that its happy hour on Tattooine as well but you dont see me heading out to the cantinas to drink my sorrows away at this hour, do you? I took the seat across from her, from where I could see the ghost of a smile flicker across her thin lips. Her skin was pale paler than usual, it seemed, in the blue glow of the computer screen before her and the datapads beside her. It was a rather eerie sight.
Not that you would be able to, even if you meant to. she answered. Still she did not look up at me. How long have they decided to lock you up for?
I dont know that you can really call it being
locked up
, but they havent given me a definite date. It feels like theyre stalling deciding to keep me safe and sound here until they can figure out what to do with me.
Until they can figure out what to do with
of us, you mean. she murmured as she scribbled down another note on her datapad, her eyes scanning the computer screen rather than watching what her hand was doing.
Well, I doubt that theyre going to try and punish the very people that saved the Republic. I answered, my hands toying gently with the leather band I wore on my left arm, the beads hanging from the straps glowing slightly with the power stored inside. My eyes idly watched the movements of my fingers, though I paid very little true attention. If she wasnt going to look up at me, then I wouldnt ask her to. Even so, my eyes flicked up to look at her even for a second only to note that the small smile she had borne until now had disappeared. She was typing away at the computer now.
I wouldnt quite call us saviors just yet. she answered, her voice low little more than a whisper. Even with the silence around us complete, save for the hum of the workstations around us it was difficult to hear her a factor that made me wonder whether or not she had meant for me to hear it at all.
An uncomfortable silence fell between us. She continued with her work, her eyes careful to avoid even the smallest of flicks up to mine, her hands moving quickly as she diligently went about her work which, as of yet, was a mystery to me. However, as I watched, the suspicions I had been drawing over the past week or so were beginning to stir themselves. I recognized this pattern of behavior, a detail that had my stomach sitting uneasily. Sure enough, as she shifted the pile of datapads to pick out another, one slid off the top of the pile and clattered to the table top before me. The data entry accessed was one of a starchart.
For the first time since Id entered the room, her dark blue eyes flashed up to meet mine and even through the glare of the light that reflected off the lenses of her square-rimmed glasses, I could see that her look was not an entirely kind one. She quickly launched forward out of her chair to snatch the datapad away from me though I could tell from the look in her eyes that she knew it was already too late. She knew that I had seen the contents of the datapad, and that I had drawn my own conclusions about the subject of her research. Even so, she said nothing and for several moments, neither did I.
She returned to her work as if nothing had happened to disrupt it, and I leaned back in my chair, steepling my fingers. I looked at her, my brown eyes studying her features. For several long minutes, the silence overwhelmed us and then, compelled by the new tension that electrified the air, I broke it with a question. Youre leaving again, arent you?
The rhythmic tapping of the keys stopped as her hands paused their typing. Her eyes didnt move and neither did her lips. She stared straight ahead but I could see that she wasnt watching the screen, or reading anything she had written. Her eyes were empty and hollow almost as if she were trying to decide how to respond. Finally, her words came. Im afraid I dont know what youre talking about. And she went right on typing.
Her indifference sparked a flare in me though what emotion it was exactly, I had know idea. I pushed myself out of my seat, no longer able to sit still. I paced away from her. Dont give me that Im not a fool. I answered, and though my voice was flat, there was no anger in it. Youre not eating, youre barely sleeping I hardly see hide nor hair of you all day, and when I do, youre
, lost amongst your datapads and holobooks! I turned to face her, my body waking up more and more every second. I had been in a fog up until then but now, I felt as if I were once again aboard one of the flagships, preparing for a battle that I was standing right on the edge of. My senses heightened, my muscles warmed. Dont think that I dont recognize it you were the exact same way on Dantooine, before you left for the Wars! You did your research then, too. You became distant, unwell and yet, the same fire lights your eyes now as it did then!
Her eyes were carefully directed at the screen all during the time that I spoke, her work continuing on as if she didnt hear me but at these last words, she stopped and looked up. Her gaze was softer now than it had been a moment ago. It beckoned me closer, regardless of whether she meant it to or not, and I was powerless to resist. Slowly, I began to return to her side.
My job isnt done. she answered, her voice quiet and faint as it had been before. Her voice was like a lullaby to me, her gaze a sedative and even as my spirit settled itself, I cursed her for the effect she had on me had
had on me. The might be over, and the Mandalorians might no longer be a real threat but there is more sitting on the horizon, and I fear that the Republic weak as it is wont be able to stop it.
I frowned as I looked at her, uncertain of what she meant. More? More like what?
She shook her head, and averted her eyes from me once more. I cant be certain. Theres just a
, call it, I dont know. Its like every time I cast my senses out to the edges of the galaxy, its as if theres a cloud, a fog that I cant see past and I dont like it. Ive never felt it before now, and it has me at ease.
And what do you plan to do about it? I asked, the words coming out hotly perhaps a bit harsher than I had intended. I stood directly beside her now. Go out and fight it by yourself? Explore the Outer Rim and beyond for its source on your own?
Of course not. she answered, her voice turning sharp in response to my tone. She turned and began typing again.
Then what?
The Republic needs to be defended.
And just
do you think youre going to do that? The fleet is still suffering we have no army left! The Jedi have already shown that they wont support another war. The economy is struggling theres no money left to spend on defenses that seems pointless to create now!
Silence and then, We both know that theres another way to raise an army, Azrael.
I was immobilized for a second, her words catching me off guard. However, the meaning of what she said was hardly lost upon me. No.
You know that its the only way
No! No, no,
I paced away a moment, my jaw set, fingers clenched into fists. Finally, I turned on her. You
why the Star Forge has been erased from the records! You
why no one is supposed to know of its existence! Its
Could mean the difference between the life and death of the Republic! she stood from her chair, crossing to where I stood. Though her words were assertive, her face was gentle, touch soothing. She set her hands gently on my upper arms, the warmth of her skin tangible through the thin fabric. You have to understand that what I sense is no ignorable thing! Its true that I dont know what it is, and its true that I cant be certain what it means but I cant just sit around and wait until this new enemy decides to show itself!
How do you know that there even
an enemy?? I asked sharply in return. I sense nothing, the Masters sense nothing how can you be sure that you arent just I bit my tongue, cutting my sentence short. It didnt matter she knew what words were waiting on my lips.
That Im what? Not just dreaming again? Her voice was a snarl now; her small fingers tightened around my arms. The Jedi Masters are blind! They were blind to the threat of the Mandalorians, and theyll be blind to this one too! Until its too late because once this enemy decides to strike, there will be no defenses left for the Republic! You said it yourself! The Fleet is devastated, our defenses crushed because of the Wars! It wouldnt take much for an enemy of the Republic to come sweeping in and finish what the Mandalorians started!
Then well find a way to rebuild! Well find defenses somewhere! But the Star Forge is
the answer!
And why not?? It can save us
It will
you, Revan.
You dont honestly think me that weak, do you?
I stood silently for several seconds, my hard glare matching hers unwaveringly. The Republic wont believe you.
Then let them rebuke me.
The Jedi wont approve.
Then let them reprove me.
Your followers will think you mad.
Then let them wonder about me. I am not afraid, Azrael I know full well the path that lies ahead of me. But I am not without allies.
I pushed her away, breaking her hold on me. What allies?? The Republic will think youre a traitor if you abandon them now! If the Jedi learn of your destination, youll be ostracized, cast out
I have single-handedly saved the Republic and I did it
the Jedis approval! her voice was raising with every word she spoke. True anger burned in her eyes now as she glared at me. Do you
think that Im worried of what the public will think?? Ive been a poster-girl long enough for blind fools that know not what stands ten feet ahead of their vision! If the good of the Republic rests solely on my shoulders, then I will not be the one to shrug it off!!
Youre willing to give up everything youve worked for until now?? I shouted right back, my fists shaking as I tried to calm myself unsuccessfully, of course. The work thats claimed
of lives millions, even! Your friends, your followers men and women who followed faithfully in your wake, thinking you would lead them to a victory for the greater good, even if it meant
giving their lives
youre just going to throw it all away because of some
If I dont act, then all of that is forfeit anyway.
And your life? You do realize that your enemies still live that they still plot for your death, every minute of the day? If they learn you are traveling alone
I have risked life and limb far more times than I can count and have come out on top.
Then what of your
The words hung in the air like the toll of a bell, the deep tones reverberating in both of our ears with a feeling of such foreboding that it took me a moment to continue what I was saying. You know just as well as I do that the Star Forge is a place of great evil you know of the legends! Its devoured more souls than any other object of the Dark Side. If you go, you risk losing yourself!
Silence again as we stared each other down across the empty space of the few feet that separated us. I prayed silently to myself that she would listen oh, for the love of the Force,
let her listen! but as the minutes grew longer, I knew that my prayers would go unanswered. Her eyes were defiant. There was no gentleness left I could tell that what had grown between us was shattered now there was no kindness, no attachment, no
in those eyes now. I was one of
I was against her an enemy.
If it is the price for the future of the Republic she said slowly, her voice low and dangerous, Then so be it.
I gritted my teeth, shaking my head violently. My eyes closed, my head hung...for I knew that I was defeated. But there was still one chance left and despite my growing surety of her answer, I couldnt stop myself from trying. I wont go with you.
I never asked you to.
And there it was. The final blade through the heart. I opened my eyes to look at her, my eyes hard as I fought all emotion out from them. Even so, I could feel tears burning to escape me. I couldnt turn back now there was only one thing for it. I had to turn around. I had to leave her. But there was only one question repeating in my mind.
Am I strong enough?
In that case I said, my voice low and words slow. I wish you luck on your endeavors. She said nothing in response. Slowly, so achingly slowly, I turned around and left the woman I loved behind.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I watched him go, more pain in my heart than ever before. I was surprised that he had actually left me and I was even more surprised at myself. Did I really just watch him walk away? Did I really did I really just let him walk out of my life forever?
But no. I couldnt dwell on that now. I lied to myself, saying that he would come around, he would change his mind anything to stop myself from realizing that he really wouldnt be coming with me this time. My research was finally nearing its completion, my plans were falling into place there were only five more pieces of data left for me to collect, and it was data that even the Jedi did not hold. With slow movements, I pulled my glasses from the bridge of my nose and stored them away, loading the files onto my datapad and storing that away as well. I didnt bother to clean up the other datapads I merely wiped the workstation clean of any memory of my research and any searches I had run before turning my attentions to the future.
The arrangements were made. I could leave tonight I could leave that very minute and in the growing darkness, I knew that I would have to. My fingers closed over the thin sheet of metal that had been sitting at my right hand side and as I lifted it, I stared into the face that had been mine for the past several years. There was a feeling of darkness as I looked upon it now, a sense of doom that echoed through the darkness around me but this symbol was mine it had become my identity. And now, it would be mine again.

Wow...that's the best word I can muster at the moment. I was really impressed with this ForceFight and it's good to see your fiction again. I seem to remember reading some of your other fics and really enjoying them
I think what I liked best was the introspection and the insinuation that some of the Jedi may have known about the Star Forge at one time. Really, very nicely written.

Sacrifice one's love for the survival of something much more greater.
A tough decision in my opinion, but you made a truly grand example of just what the Exile had to cut herself from to go on her journey. A sad story.
A wonderful story.
All the story's you have wrote, and I have read (especially Plight of Darkness) have been a wonderful read and this has been no exemption. Another great piece, ForceFight.

Excellent work! There's a couple of mistakes (know idea instead of no idea, revere instead of reverie), but other than that, it's great! I love how Azrael saw Revan and the Jedi Temple... The descriptions are lovely. The final thing she said to him was so sad... as was the ending.
Once again, well done!
The sun goes down and the sky reddens, pain grows sharp.

when crested cocks crow all through the tall city

A really nice one-shot and worthy of The Plight of Darkness (have you given up on that, by the way?) The only mistake I noticed was Tattooine, which I believe is spelt Tatooine, but other than that, this is a flawless piece.
Plus, the dialogue in this puts the entire Star Wars saga love scenes to shame.
This gets my vote.

Absolutely amazing--I found it difficult to read because of the flood of emotions that were assaulting my mind all at once: anger, sadness, pity, admiration. This got my vote!

Truly great work. The style was excellent in portraying the emotions and thoughts of the protagonists. The scene and ambient described perfectly. On the grammar/spelling side there were a few typos, but nothing too serious. Great work.

That was the only mistake that I found. I think that this was a great fic. It certainly shows a lot of emotion, which is really good in a story. It keeps you interested. Great job!

A love story inside the Jedi Temple...a place where love was supposed to be forbidden. Very well portraid and very realistic. But that's always the case with your fics, the realism
Very, VERY good...I hope see more of these *ehrm* shorts from your in Javyars cantina!

Thanks guys ^.^ I'm glad you all liked it! As most of you have noticed, I haven't been the most active person in the Entertainment Centre for quite a while - real life has sapped all creativity for
Plight of Darkness
out of me, unfortunately. So yeah, I think that one is officially dead - but I'm starting to think that Javyar's might be a good exercise for me. Since I've been mostly writing reports and RPG posts, it's refreshing to finally get to tell a full story for once - even if it does have more spelling and grammar mistakes than a second grader's homework :3 So at this point, it's looking like I might become Javyar's newest constant competitor XP

PHOENIX -- The No. 3-ranked Arizona softball team used the long ball to beat No. 12 Nebraska, 11-4, in the Fiesta Bowl Tournament and win its eighth consecutive game.
Winning pitcher Becky Lemke (4-0) struck out 10. The four runs by Nebraska are the only runs scored against UA this year.
The Wildcats (8-0) pounded five home runs for the second consecutive game. Earlier UA clouted five against Louisiana State. Third baseman Toni Mascarenas hit one in the morning and two against the Huskers to give her a team-high six.
Allison Andrade, Leneah Manuma and Mackenzie Vandergeest also had home runs for Arizona, which now has 21 in its eight games.
Arizona plays games at 10 a.m. against South Carolina and at 12 noon against Missouri Sunday to close out its play in the tournament, hosted by Arizona State.

I went to bed early last night but I'm glad I stayed awake to witness the best three minutes of baseball I've ever seen. I hopped in bed just after 10:30 and my wife handed me the remote. I love when this happens, this means it's time to turn off "Friends" and watch sports before I pass out. On comes ESPN.
So I'm lying in bed while watching the Red Sox try to close out their game against Baltimore. There was no doubt in my mind after seeing the look on Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon's face that Boston would live to see tomorrow. The Red Sox were up one run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. No one was on base for the O's and there was two strikes on the hitter. And then $#^T gets crazy.
Chris Davis lines a double into right-center and all of a sudden the winning run for Baltimore is at the plate. Kyle Hudson came in to pinch run for Davis and then Nolan Reimold smacks a double of his own, scoring Hudson to tie the game at three.
The next batter, Robert Andino, wasted no time at the plate and hits a liner to left field that Carol Crawford couldn't come up with. The throw home isn't in time and now I've just witnessed the worst choke in baseball history. The Red Sox were up nine games in the Wild Card when September started and then lost 20 of their last 27 games to destroy their chances of playing in October.
So now ESPN turns to the Rays and Yankees game, live from "The Trop". As soon as they tune into the game, Tampa Bay Rays slugger Evan Longoria is at the plate in the bottom of the 12th inning. I hear one of the announcers confirm if the Rays win it here, they are the AL Wild Card winners. Well, ESPN and the baseball world couldn't time this more perfectly because after one fouled off pitch, Longoria crushes a line-drive home run that sneaks it's way over the wall in left. Game over. Rays win.
I couldn't believe it. I seriously just witnessed one of the coolest three minutes in baseball I've ever seen. This has movie script written all over it. Ya know, if in fact the Rays win the pennant and then win their first World Series Championship.
And on top of all of that, the St. Louis Cardinals won the NL Wild Card and the Atlanta Braves lost. The Cardinals were back eight games behind the Braves a few weeks ago and the Braves let them in the playoffs. I don't know which team's choke is worse, Boston or Atlanta?
Simply put, the Rays deserved it and the Red Sox didn't. Same goes for the Cards and the Braves.
I have to end this by agreeing with Stuart Scott and Scott Van Pelt when they opened Sports Center last night.
Stuart Scott - "This last day in the regular season for baseball had potential drama to be here [waving his hand over his head]....and it quadrupled it!"
Scott Van Pelt - "I say it all the time and this is why I say it, sports is the best,[stuttering, at a loss for words] greatest thing ever at anytime, over everything"

UFC Fight Night 34 will be the premier UFC event for the country of Singapore and it goes down on January 4 at the Marina Bay Sands in Marina Bay, Singapore. The UFC will also be debuting their brand new online digital network Fight Pass which allows fans to watch the prelims and the main card free for the next 2 months. Due to the time difference the prelims get started early at 6:30a.m.,and the main card will be shown at 9:00a.m. Enjoy the predictions and UFC Fight Night 34 fight card.
Online Prelims (UFC Fight Pass): 4-2-0
135 lbs. – Leandro Issa (0-0 UFC) vs. Russell Doane (0-0 UFC) – Issa via decision
Issa is a very talented grappler and will likely get the fight to the ground where he can control Doane and work for a submission. Doane will try to keep it standing so he can unload with his strikes. Wrong - Doane via submission
135 lbs. – Dustin Kimura (1-1 UFC) vs. Jon Delos Reyes (0-0 UFC) – Kimura via submission
Reyes is a good all-around fighter with power and technique, but he hasn't faced anyone like Kimura before. Kimura will be able to strike with Reyes and take advantage once the fight goes to the ground. Correct plus method
155 lbs. – Mairbek Taisumov (0-0 UFC) vs. Tae Hyun Bang (0-0 UFC) – Taisumov via decision
Bang is a great striker with heavy hands and solid grappling, but Taisumov is a great striker as well and he'll likely counter some of Bang's attacks with takedowns so he can control Bang on the ground. Correct plus method
135 lbs. – Royston Wee (0-0 UFC) vs. Dave Galera (0-0 UFC) – Galera via submission
Neither fighter is great at striking and both prefer to grappler so expect a ground battle. Wee will probably struggle with the 3 year ring rust and Galera should be able to find openings for submissions. Wrong - Wee via U. decision
155 lbs. – Katsunori Kikuno (0-0 UFC) vs. Quinn Mulhern (0-1 UFC) – Kikuno via decision
Kikuno will have a striking advantage with his power and technique. Mulhern will try to get this fight to the ground so he can try submission attacks, but Kikuno has great footwork and grappling defense. Correct plus method
145 lbs. – Max Holloway (3-3 UFC) vs. Will Chope (0-0 UFC) – Holloway via TKO
Chope is a very tall fighter and uses his long limbs to lock up submissions, but he hasn't faced the quality of opponents that Holloway has so expect Holloway to come out aggressive with his boxing. Correct plus method
Main Card (UFC Fight Pass): 2-2-0 Total MMA Predictions: 407-227-2 = 64 %
135 lbs. – Kyung-Ho Kang (0-1(1) UFC) vs. Shunichi Shimizu (0-0 UFC) - Kang via decision
Ho Kang is a very athletic fighter that uses his speed and quickness to land takedowns, and once on the ground he becomes very technical with his submissions. Shimizu is also a grappler and will attack with submissions even from standing positions, if even just to get the fight to the ground. Ho Kang will have a slight striking advantage if this fight stays standing, but don't expect a TKO finish. On the ground it will be a battle, but Ho Kang is the bigger stronger fighter and will likely be in top control. Ho Kang can win this fight whether it stays on the feet or on the ground. Correct (Kang via submission)
170 lbs. – Kiichi Kunimoto (0-0 UFC) vs. Luiz Dutra Jr. (0-0 UFC) - Dutra Jr. via decision
Dutra was the first pick overall for team Noguiera in TUF Brazil 2, but suffered an injury on the show and was replaced. Kunimoto has built a solid pro record of 15-5-2 with primarily his grappling. Neither fighter has great striking, but Dutra will likely be the more aggressive fighter which will give him an edge. Dutra will also likely be the one to initiate takedowns and maintain top control with his heavy ground and pound. Kunimoto has good submissions attacks, but Dutra has solid grappling defense. Dutra will win the striking exchanges and stay in top control for 3 rounds. Wrong - Kunimoto via DQ
145 lbs. – Tatsuya Kawajiri (0-0 UFC) vs. Sean Soriano (0-0 UFC) - Kawajiri via submission
Kawajiri is a very experienced veteran with the level of fighters he's competed against and truly belongs in the UFC. Soriano is also making his debut, but on short notice due to an injury to Kawajiri's original opponent. Kawajiri has solid striking, but he typically looks for takedowns so he can work his ground and pound or submissions. Soriano is an undefeated prospect with great striking, takedowns and solid grappling. On the feet Soriano may have a slight advantage with his power and use of kicks, but Kawajiri will also be aggressive. Soriano has great wrestling skills which may cause problems for Kawajiri, but Kawajiri has so much experience that he should find a way to win. Soriano has the skill to pull off an upset, but he hasn't faced a fighter like Kawajiri before either. Correct plus method
170 lbs. – Tarec Saffiedine (0-0 UFC) vs. Hyun Gyu Lim (2-0 UFC) - Lim via decision
Saffiedine made a name for himself when he won a unanimous decision over UFC veteran Nate Marquardt, but he piled an impressive 13-3 record prior to that fight. Lim was signed by the UFC in the hopes that he would be a KO machine and so far that's been the case as he's finished both opponents with knees and punches. On the feet it should be fairly even at first between Saffiedine's kicks and Lim's boxing, but expect the power of Lim to eventually take over. Saffiedine should have a slight grappling advantage, but don't expect Lim to allow any takedowns or willingly go to the ground. Lim will defend takedowns and use his boxing to beat up Saffiedine for 5 rounds. Wrong - Saffiedine via U. decision

Each semester, the mathematics department hosts a seminar series for students and faculty.
Experts present recent research findings, giving students a chance to learn about how what they study now applies to the real world. Students have the opportunity to interact with professionals in the field of mathematics, science, and computer science.
Bibliometrics: Computing with Words Dr. Jan W. Buzydlowski, Assistant Professor, Department of Information Science & Technology, Cabrini College Monday, February 5, 2007 Bibliometrics is the study of statistical and mathematical techniques applied to the analysis of text and documents. This talk gave a general overview of the subject, along with an in-depth exposition of the author's research on co-citation analysis, a branch of bibliometrics. The talk concluded with the discussion and demonstration of a web-based system, AuthorMap, that illustrates the concepts in real-time with a scholarly, substantive dataset, the Arts and Humanities Citation Index.
Finding Numbers That Are Both Triangular and Square Robert McGee, Professor Emeritus, Cabrini College Monday, November 13, 2006 The problem of finding triangular square numbers is based on ideas that are more than 2,500 years old. The solution illustrates classic problem solving techniques such as looking for a pattern and solving simpler problems. This problem also introduces such mathematical topics as Pell's Equations, continued fractions and their convergents, and recursion.
How Large a Sample Size Do We Really Need?Dr. Bong S. Kim, Assistant Professor, Neumann College Monday, October 9, 2006 This colloquium discussed the basic trade-offs in statistical estimations: the desire to have a high confidence level, a low margin of error, and a small sample size. This talk answered the common question from decision makers who are planning estimation, "How large a sample size do we really need?"
More Graph TheoryDavid DiMarco, Assistant Professor of Mathematics, Neumann College Monday, April 24, 2006This talk described elementary areas of graph theory beyond the ones in Professor DiMarco's previous talk, including subgraphs, trees, bipartite graphs, and abstract and geometric graphs.
The Magic of a SquareMegan Clementi, Adjunct Instructor of Mathematics, Cabrini College Monday, March 20, 2006How can a square be magical? In this presentation, Megan Clementi taught how to create your own magic squares without a wand!
Intelligent Design versus EvolutionDr. David Dunbar, Assistant Professor of Biology, Cabrini College Monday, February 6, 2006Dr. Dunbar discussed the intelligent design/evolution controversy. Many feel that certain aspects of intelligent design are at variance with Darwinian evolutionary theory. This talk looked at the theories of intelligent design and evolution and why there are disputes between these two beliefs about how life arose on Earth.
Mathematics and Religion: The Intersection Is Not EmptyRobert McGee, Professor Emeritus, Cabrini College Carol Serotta, Associate Professor, Cabrini College Katie Acker, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Cabrini College Monday, November 14, 2005We will talk about interesting numbers you meet in the Bible and their special properties. We will also look at the contributions made to mathematics by religious leaders.
The Traveling Salesman Problem and Its Polytope Dr. Raymond Robb, Assistant Professor of Mathematics, Cabrini College Monday, October 24, 2005Dr. Robb defined the famous traveling salesman problem and explained its importance, linked the problem to the study of polytopes (basically, polygons in more dimensions), and showed results from his dissertation relating data about the traveling salesman polytope to information about its associated problem.
Of Yeast and Men: What Yeast Can Tell Us About Human Biology?David Dunbar, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Biology, Cabrini College Monday, April 11, 2005The fungus yeast is studied extensively as a tool to learn about the molecular mechanisms that govern human cells. Dr. Dunbar presented some of the findings on yeast genetics that he uncovered while working in the laboratory of Dr. Susan Baserga at the Yale School of Medicine.
Slices of PiDr. John F. Brown, Assistant Professor of Mathematics, Cabrini College Monday, March 14, 2005The number π, the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, has fascinated people for millennia. In this talk, Professor Brown discussed the history of π, talked about other places π appears, and described a few ways to calculate its value. Refreshments were served shortly before 3:14:16.
The Anti-Authoritarian DerivativeDr. Walter Huddell, Associate Professor of Mathematics, Eastern University Monday, February 21, 2005A certain class of continuous linear functionals called distributions defined on the infinitely differentiable functions on R with compact support was considered. Any integrable function can be associated with one of these so-called "generalized functions." After examining the derivative of a distribution, this notion was used to "differentiate" functions that are not differentiable in the traditional sense.
Studying a 250-Million-Year-Old MicrobeDr. David Dunbar, Assistant Professor of Biology, Cabrini CollegeMonday, November 15, 2004 This presentation described a research project that Dr. Dunbar and a student were engaged in that involves gaining an understanding of the basic biology of a salt-loving microbe that was extracted from a 250-million-year-old salt crystal from a mine in Carlsbad, New Mexico.
Teaching with Cross SumsDr. Raymond Robb, Assistant Professor of Mathematics, Cabrini College Monday, October 18, 2004A cross sum is a puzzle shaped like a crossword but with number clues and answers. Attendees discussed both the usefulness of cross sums in introducing the idea of proof to students and several solution techniques that range from simple logic to linear algebra.
Separation Anxiety? Just Go with the Flow: How Flow Cytometry is Used to Separate Cells in Biotechnology Dr. Sherry Fuller-Espie, Associate Professor of Biology, Cabrini CollegeMonday, April 19, 2004Flow cytometry is a technology that enables analysis of multiple properties of cells at a rate of 500 – 4,000 cells per second. A flow cytometer is able to measure simultaneously the scatter and fluorescence properties of cells as they pass in a fluid stream through a laser interrogation path. Through a recent DCED state grant, the Science Department at Cabrini College acquired a FACSCalibur flow cytometer and was implementing laboratory assays into the biotechnology curriculum. This talk outlined the basic steps involved in flow cytometry and showcased some of the work conducted by students enrolled in Theory and Practice in Biotechnology I.
Thermal De-polymerizationLCDR David W. Taylor, USN (Retired), Instructor of Chemistry, Engineering Science and Mathematics, Valley Forge Military CollegeMonday, March 15, 2004Since early in the 20th Century, scientists have been attempting to synthesize fuels from other organic materials. Until recently, none have been successful. A scientist has developed a combination thermal and mechanical process that breaks down virtually any carbon compound into trace elements, solid carbon, pure water, natural gas, and a fuel that is very similar to home heating oil. The process, in terms of a ratio of energy in compared to energy out, is about 85% efficient. Beyond theory, one full-scale plant is now in operation near St. Louis, Missouri, creating useful compounds from the refuse of a huge poultry processing plant.
An Introduction to Graph TheoryDr. David DiMarco, Assistant Professor of Mathematics, Neumann CollegeMonday, February 16, 2004This talk covered some introductory graph theory with some simple applications.
Problem Solving in the Middle School: Using Historical ProblemsRobert McGee, Associate Profess or of Mathematics, Cabrini College assisted by his students from the Armenian Sisters AcademyMonday, November 24, 2003Problem solving is the number one priority in mathematics in the schools. Eighth-grade students at the Armenian Sisters Academy were involved in a project designed to enhance their problem solving skills. Three types of problems were used: 1. General problems from the history of mathematics. 2. Problems from a 19th century American arithmetic text. 3. Problems from a 19th century Armenian arithmetic text. Students demonstrated their work.
Regression: Theory and ApplicationChad May, Coordinator of Institutional Research, Cabrini College Monday, October 20, 2003Regression is one of the most-used statistical techniques in all fields of research today. There are applications in fields ranging from the physical sciences to the social sciences and education. There are also many different forms of regression, such as multiple regression, logistic regression, and probit models, among others. This talk introduced the underlying mathematical theory of regression in general and expanded into one application of multiple regression with a model to interpret the results to give those who are familiar with this technique a refresher and those new to this technique an appreciation for the use of this technique in research.
Solar Activity and SunspotsJoseph Smith, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Chemistry, Cabrini College Monday, April 28, 2003Discussion included solar activity and sunspots and, using a special filter, participants took turns looking through a telescope outside to try to observe sunspots.
