Upon graduation, students have the option to seek employment in the architectural field or transfer into an accredited Master of Architecture program, thereby providing students the educational path to architectural licensure.
The licensing of architects is necessary to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the people. The entire path to licensure varies from state to state, but typically requires eight to ten years – five to seven years in school plus a three-year internship as a salaried employee working under the supervision of registered professionals. In addition, successful passing of a comprehensive examination is required. Once the education, internship and examination requirements of a jurisdiction are complete, licensure or registration is obtained.
The first step in this process is completion of an accredited degree in architecture. The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) is the sole agency authorized to accredit US professional degree programs in architecture. Since most state registration boards in the United States require an applicant for licensure to have graduated from a NAAB-accredited program, obtaining such a degree- typically a Master of Architecture - is an essential aspect of preparing for the professional practice of architecture.
Ferris' BS in Architecture and Sustainability degree is conceived as the initial step toward architectural licensure for its graduates. As an undergraduate degree, however, it cannot fulfill accreditation requirements on its own; students must complete a Master of Architecture degree at another institution.
Typically Ferris' graduates articulate into a two-year Master of Architecture track at another university. Ferris' BS degree and its emphasis on community studies, the environmental context, and the inclusion of technology, design, and history provides the appropriate undergraduate background for entry into these two-year MArch tracks. However, admission into a Master of Architecture program is competitive with requirements set by each institution. Admission decisions involve a review of the student's past academic history, test scores and a portfolio. Because architecture is a visual discipline, a portfolio is often the key determining factor for admission.
The path to licensure in the State of Michigan, for a typical Ferris graduate, will include:
"As a Master of Architecture graduate from Ball State University, the Architectural Technology and Facility Management programs provided me with a solid foundation that I relied on numerous times. The hands-on experience in the studios, the collaborative atmosphere, the faculty and courses, and the focus on both the technical and design aspects of architecture were most beneficial as a precursor to my graduate level classes and studio work."

Riccio Memorial Lecture Series
The History Department of Eastern Illinois University presents
The Barry D. Riccio Memorial Lecture Series
Barry D. Riccio joined the Eastern Illinois University History faculty in 1995. The author of Walter Lippmann, Odyssey of a Liberal (1994) and numerous articles, Barry was a devoted student of American ideas, politics, and culture. At Eastern he proved almost immediately himself an outstanding teacher and wonderful colleague. Following Barry's death from cancer in 2001 at the age of 46, his friends, family and colleagues established the Barry D. Riccio History Fund in his honor. In conjunction with the EIU History Department, the fund sponsors a lecture series with an emphasis on the history of ideas. Beginning with our inaugural lecture in 2003, the generosity of fund donors has allowed us to bring many of the leading lights of American intellectual history to Eastern Illinois University.

|A Graph-Theoretical Approach to Euclidean Oriented Matroids
|Combinatorics/Partitions Seminar
|Leandro Junes, Cal U of PA
|This is the second of a series of two talks. I will address my research with euclidean oriented matroids. The euclidean property in oriented matroids resembles the euclidean property in the n-dimensional space, and it is characterized by a graph. My research introduces a new characterization of euclidean oriented matroids using a new graph. The new graph is an improvement in the following sense: it provides a strong connection between the new graphs of an oriented matroid program and its dual. As an application, I will provide a graph theoretical proof for Fukuda's duality of the Euclidean property.

My Best Books of 2010 Booklist
December 27th, 2010
I read a lot of books this year (one of the job perks :)). Here are the ones I like and recommend (rule: they were all published in 2010):
Business Books
The Big Short by Michael Lewis: if you want to read just one book about the financial crisis, read this one. Michael Lewis is sharp and funny; I listened to the audio version of this book and was laughing out loud while walking to the office in the morning.
Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh: from the founder of Zappos, this book is a great read for anyone interested in innovation, starting companies, and "company culture". Especially if you don't believe such a thing exists.
The Upside of Irrationality by Dan Ariely: if you liked Predictably Irrational, Ariely's previous book, you'd like this one too.
Rework by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson: by the founders of 37 Signals (and creators of Ruby on Rails), this book is a collection of short, easy to digest (maybe not to implement…) chapters about starting a company that might be different than the usual run of the mill startup. Couple of representative chapter names – "ignore the real world", "learning from mistakes is overrated", "planning is guessing", "why grow?".
Denial: Why Business Leaders Fail to Look Facts in the Face—and What to Do About It, by Richard S. Tedlow: Tedlow is an HBS professor and if you're missing HBS cases, this is the book for you. Interesting stories from the days of Ford Motors to the present about companies and business leaders being in denial.
Good Boss, Bad Boss by Robert I. Sutton: will make you think about the people you manage and your own boss. Some of the advice isn't exactly ground-breaking (along the lines of "don't be a jerk". Really?) but some is more useful.
Being Geek: The Software Developer's Career Handbook by Michael Lopp: I would argue this is useful reading for anyone working in a technology company, not just software engineers.
Wired Magazine: it's not a book, but Wired was a lot of fun to read this year. I just renewed my subscription – figured that for less than $1 an issue, I can afford it.
Non-Business Books
Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy (Deluxe Boxed Set: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, Plus On Stieg Larsson): one of these rare cases where the hype is justified. This was my favorite book (or 3 books, to be precise) of the year by far. Original, breathtaking plot taking place in Sweden, with a cool female hacker as the protagonist. Who needs more?
I just got this specific edition two days ago and it's beautiful – 3 cloth-bound hardcovers, plus an additional booklet with essays about Stieg Larsson.
After you're done with the books, you can enjoy the movies – which surprisingly manage to stay true to the spirit of the books and are highly recommended too.
Worth Dying For by Lee Child: I didn't think a book about a modern day cowboy in middle America with no cellphones or other technology would even keep me awake, but this page turner didn't let me go to bed. I finished it in about two days and enjoyed every second.
Faithful Place by Tana French: a detective mystery taking place in Dublin, Ireland. Half the fun is the Irish jargon, the other half is the realistic characters and the surprising plot.
Freedom by Jonathan Franzen: not a bad read, and will definitely make you feel like you're in the know, reading one of the most talked about books this year (and an Oprah pick!). Franzen's book will make you annoyed, sad, entertained but you won't stay indifferent. Very readable and funny.
The Dirty Life: On Farming, Food, and Love by Kristin Kimball: if you like Michael Pollan-like books, you'd like this one. Not much of a plot but the subject matter is different enough from normal life to make it interesting.
If you're an MBA student or applicant, check out my older b-school book recommendations post.
oh, and hi everyone, long time no see! Happy Holidays & Happy New Year from Seattle!
And as always, curious to hear what other people think – what books did you enjoy this year?

Done. Or am I?
May 10th, 2009
Last Tuesday I uploaded my last exam (yes, we're very high tech at HBS) and thus concluded my two years of HBS MBA. My exams still need to be checked and graduation is still a month from now, but for all intents and purposes I'm done.
Happy Birthday 2.0
April 18th, 2009
Wow, it is almost the second birthday of the blog. I don't remember doing anything voluntarily for such a long time (well, perhaps sticking with the same guy).
I got a nice birthday present: "2008-9 Best of Blogging" nomination from ClearAdmit. ClearAdmit is an admissions consulting company that runs an MBA blog which is an excellent resource for MBA applicants (I used to read it when I was applying). So the nomination, as they say at HBS, is an honor, a privilege and a humbling experience. I also got a cool icon:
The birthday and the nomination motivated me to update many parts of the blog – the pages that appear at the header (best posts, blogroll) have been updated, as well as other things.
Forget about my HBS Essay Analysis or the books HBS students read, or my other best posts. In what promises to be the ultimate post of all times, here are…
Some good things
April 4th, 2009
After my last post created some interesting controversy, this time I want to share with you the other side of the coin. It's not just fun and games (and travel) that we do here at HBS. In short, it's also a lot of hard work and and doing good.
Here's what I mean:
February 25th, 2009
These are very turbulent times we're living in – one of the world's deepest recessions, elections in Israel, etc. But this time, I want to write about something much more important.
January 28th, 2009
First semester ended and we had our winter break. I went to NYC for a week:
Then I came home to Israel for the rest of the break. Spent some quality time in Eilat with my family, some time with friends in Tel Aviv (though as always, I left feeling I didn't do that enough) and also tagged along with the HBS Israel Immersion.
The immersion was awesome – a group of ~40 HBS students, led by Prof. Dan Isenberg, came to Israel for a week titled "The Israeli Entrepreneurship Miracle and High Tech Industry" (or something like that). They visited Israeli start ups, met successful entrepreneurs, VCs, multinationals like Google and Microsoft and of course did the required touristy things – Jerusalem, Masada and the Dead Sea. You can read about the immersion in this beautiful Harbus article.
The immersion took place at the same time of the mess in Gaza strip. I'm so happy the school decided not to cancel it, and only 5 (out of 49) students canceled their participation. Since the immersion took place around Tel Aviv, participants had a safe experience and I'm so glad they got to see the Real Israel firsthand.
Some photos from Eilat are here.

In the last episode, Ward works to get the information from Skye, while the rest of the group try and take down the man who tried killing Coulson's love.
In this week's episode, titled "Nothing Personal", Skye tries to delay Ward and what he's after while SHIELD tries not to get arrested by the government.
Agent Hill (guest star Colbie Smulders) returns to the show and May seeks her help to get answers about TAHITI. Hill tells her what Fury told her about the TAHITI project so naturally, May cracks the riddle and finds the hard drive in Coulson's coffin.
The rest of SHIELD try and figure out what happened with May, Skye, and Ward. Fitz finds Skye's message that Ward is Hydra and Simmons finds Koenig's body.
Simmons does an autopsy of the body and she figures out that Ward is the one that killed Koenig. Fitz gets upset and angry about it but Coulson redirects his anger on finding Skye. He knows that Skye has a plan but they need to figure it out.
Agent Hill comes in to the Fridge as the other agents are there. She comes to take them in. The Air Force interrogates the group while Hill and Coulson talk. He tells her about Skye and Ward and Hill joins in with them to get to Ward and Skye.
Skye is trying to stall for time until Coulson can catch up and Ward is getting impatient as he waits for her to crack the hard drive. They start talking about Ward and his under cover jobs and making little dabs at him about how he's lying to her.
Cops start showing up and Ward gets weary. She finally admits to him that she knows he's Hydra and that she tipped off the cops. She tries to get away but Mike shows up and takes her down.
Ward and Skye talk and she is still angry with him for all the lies. He thinks that what he's doing is right and that one day she will understand. Skye won't tell them how to unlock the drive. Skye tries to reason with Mike and Ward. It doesn't work and she gives into them.
SHIELD is able to find them and Hill/Triplett stall Ward so that Coulson can get on the plane to help Skye. Which he does. Ward wants to go after them but Mike stops him.
As the night wears down, Skye tells Coulson she decrypted the flash drive but left them a little 'present' with it. Mike/Ward can not outsmart Skye.
In the next episode, we dive deeper in the character of Ward as we get to see what made him so evil and he gets tested as he has to choose between Garrett and the team.

College Hockey:Wayne State Surprises Wisconsin. 5-4
Redwood Gets the Late Game Winner for Warriors
MADISON, WIS. — In what on paper seemed to be a tune-up for the WCHA season, the Wisconsin Badgers hosted the Wayne State Warriors, a team that three years ago did not exist. But it was anything but easy for Wisconsin as the Warriors' entered the third period with a 4-3 lead.
After Wisconsin freshman center Alex Leavitt followed his own shot tie the score at four midway through the final period, the Warriors' Jack Redwood notched the game-winning goal with 4:37 remaining in the third period, giving Wayne State a surprising 5-4 victory.
While the score had Wayne State winning, it was Wisconsin who dominated the style of play early. Just 62 seconds into the game, Wisconsin senior forward Matt Murray found senior winger Matt Doman. Doman placed his shot over the outstretched glove of Warriors goaltender Dave Guerrera.
With a penalty by Wayne State defenseman Keith Stanich, the Badgers saw their first power play of the year. They wasted no time in converting as forward David Hukalo skated through the slot and put the puck in the back of the net, increasing Wisconsin's lead to 2-0.
Seemingly in control of the contest, the Badgers continued to put the pressure on the Warriors, winning all of the physical battles as the period wound down. But with 13 seconds remaining, a defensive breakdown by the Badgers allowed Wayne State forward Dusty Kingston to take a cross-ice pass from center Jason Durbin, skate past three UW players and score over the head of Wisconsin goaltender Scott Kabotoff, cutting the Warriors' deficit to one at 2-1 after one period.
To Wayne State head coach Bill Wilkinson, the late first-period goal drastically changed the momentum of the contest.
"It just put us right back in the hockey game," Wilkinson said. "I think it was a key goal by Dusty."
Though Wisconsin gave up the late first-period goal, the Badgers came right back out and regained their two-goal advantage 19 seconds into the second as defenseman Dan Boeser launched a shot from the blue line and underneath the pad of Guerrera.
Then Guerrera stepped up for Wayne State, coming up with several crucial saves that kept the deficit at two. On the evening Guerrera made 50 saves, many of which were on the side of improbable.
While Guerrera kept Wisconsin out of the net for the rest of the second period, Wayne State was able to capitalize on several Wisconsin miscues.
Off of a face-off deep in the Wisconsin zone, Durbin was able to defeat the Badgers' Kent Davyduke on the draw, giving a clean chance to Kingston who notched his second tally of the evening, tying the score at three.
Then, off of a turnover by Badger defenseman Rob Vega, winger Chris Vail had a breakaway on Kabotoff. Going five-hole on the junior goaltender, Vail was too quick and gave the lead to Wayne State after two periods.
Wisconsin head coach Jeff Sauer felt the three turnovers and the face-off that led to goals were the crucial turning points.
"Well, very simply, we turned the puck over three times," Sauer said. "We lost a face-off, they scored a goalthe third goal was a turnover on the defensive blue line by [Vega]. That was the difference in the game."
Despite being outshot 54 to 27, Wayne State managed to utilize its trapping defense to capitalize on the Wisconsin breakdowns, allowing the Warriors to earn big road victory.
For Wilkinson, it was the type of hockey game he is used to seeing out of his squad.
"That's kind of our trademark," Wilkinson said. "We try to play a defensive style that gives us an opportunity [to win.] "
Though Wisconsin lost its home opener, Sauer was not overly concerned about the ramifications of the defeat.
"This isn't the end of the world," Sauer said. "There's still plenty of hockey to be played."
The Warriors (1-2-0) and the Badgers (0-1-0) meet again Saturday at 7:05 p.m. in the Kohl Center.

I have known the buteyko technique before Ray Peat's diet and have found it to be the most health balancing thing that ever happened to me. It is about breathing less, by inhaling less and holding breath alot. This will built up the CO2 saturation deep within the tissues very easily and promote oxygenation and therefore metabolism. Balancing the thyroid (Ray Peat inspired diet) is a big help in increasing oxygenation.
I find it therefore highly unsatisfying that Ray Peat doesn't give Buteyko the props it deserves. He gives a little nuance to it, yes, Buteyko claimed that it has all to do with breathing less. That is not always true, as Peat said, some people who have a low metabolism can breathe very slowly but still have a CO2 saturation in the tissue that is not sufficient to sustain the regenerative abillities.
However, Artour Rahkimov from normalbreathing.com has posted several health states and parameters to measure your health. Such as the CP (control pause), which is the length of a breath hold after the exhale, during your natural breathing pattern at that time, after which you don't need to have a bigger inhale than you naturally do (i.e. no stress signs). If the CP is above 40s your health will start to normalize. Most people are around 15-20s CP, in the beginning of the century it used to be around 40s. Mine was 15s, now I'm up to 35 seconds for about a year with eventual breakthroughs above 40, but couldn't stay there for longer than 2 days or so. Buteyko claimed that breaking through the 40s CP barrier is the toughest challenge in the method, because after it is impossible to have a chronic focal infection.
The nice part of it is that Artour's experience has learned him that gut health is always normal (i.e. no stains on toilet wall and toilet paper during the regular bowel movements), that sleep is reduced to 6 hours, that you start craving light aerobic exercise. These are all things I have seen changing everytime I got above 40s CP and from people I know who are also struggling with breaking 40s CP have experienced the same. One of my big issues is a gut that has dysbiosis and athlete's foot and dandruff problems that always start to kick in very heavy after I break the 40s CP, then my body recognizes that infections and due to probable all the prostaglandins and inflammatory signals it damages itself so badly that it will drop below 35 again and I will have lighter problems with these chronic inflammation issues.
Because of the major changes in health that have been very well documented in anecdotal reports of people practicing buteyko (such as reduction of sleeping time, normalization of heart beat of around 60-70 bpm, no stains on toilet paper after bowel movement). I think it is a shame that Ray Peat never dig any further in this issue. How many of you are practicing buteyko? What is your CP?
Hi, I know this is an old thread and I am new to the forum (but a long-time lurker), I have heard that buteyko practice can lower libido and if you see this, I was curious about your experience with that, if it's not too personal? I have just started a pranayama practice myself, so curious to see how it could go. I'm in my 20's and have no interest in losing my sexual appetite, or abilities (not bragging, just that I feel healthy in that area, if not overly skilled).
I have heard of Buteyko, but never practiced it.
Can you recommend a really easy way to start doing it? I'd love to try it out and see the results for myself.
I don't know what Ray thinks of Buteyko ... maybe someone should ask him and maybe he'll look into it?
What is the difference between nasal and mouth breathing, just the amount of air?
just curious, I'm a newbie, but for some reason I was under the impression that holding your breath is a bad thing - increasing lactic acid?

Why is the guitar considered such a cool instrument? It's a hollowed-out piece of wood with some strings tied to it. By itself, it's stupid. The guitar only becomes cool when you shove it full of wiring and jack it up on electricity. Then, the guitar is awesome. For further proof, listen to 2:52 through 3:56 of "Sweet Child O'Mine," and then listen to anything ever made by Dave Matthews or his Band.
Furthermore, people who play non-electric guitar—what are you doing? Why do you even bother? You don't see me walking around in sandals and capris with my recorder from third grade, do you? No, because I grew up and started playing the manly version of the recorder, also know as the oboe. Sure, you can woo airheaded women with your stupid dead tree plus dental floss, but I can summon snakes from baskets on command (thank you, Aladdin). "People" who play acoustic guitar are devoid of any positive impact on society (unless you count the hemp clothing they wear because it's, like, totally biodegradable man). If I ever see Jack Johnson in person, I'm going to punch him in the face, then quickly hand him a notebook so he can write down how he feels.
So what is a cool instrument then? For one, electric guitar. Also, the oboe. And finally, the accordion. While those douchebag, sandal-wearing pansies attract a crowd because they play "Everlong" by Foo Fighters, there is real music being played by people like this kid. His take on…whatever that song is (I think I heard it in a Castlevania video game) is unreal. And notice the head movements—you can't teach that. It's au natural. I can promise you'll see him at January's Best of party.

I admit that one of the many marketing ploys that are used to sell some candies is the "gross" factor. This is why I've seen Flix' Box of Boogers around for a bit now and I've never bought them before now. The tagline on the box that reads "Tangy Gummy Boogies that look & feel real!" doesn't really make me want to buy, much less eat it. But, in the spirit of Halloween, I felt I owed it to my readers to at leave give these a go.
I feel that this is a very unique Halloween candy, since it plays on the "trick" part of "trick or treat". You start with the idea of eating boogers, which children often do, and volia, a Halloween candy with a "gross" factor. The packaging is very catchy, with an ooze green and purple color scheme. Combined with a grotesque character of "chef Ghoulicious" and images of the candy. It's enticing in the "I want this cause it will gross Mom out" sort of way.
The candies do indeed look like boogers. And what I mean by that is they're lumpy and green. Granted I haven't seen boogers like this in some time. People with snot this green should really see a doctor in regard to an infection of some sort. I'm sure that's a bonus for those who would enjoy this candy. It certainly adds to the gross out factor. The back of the box describes the flavors, which I am grateful for, since I haven't eaten boogers myself since I was 4 years old or so, and I've quite forgotten their "flavor".
To start the texture of these gummis are very chewy. They're much more dense that I was expecting. They're somewhere in between Gummi Bears and Starburst.
Snottermelon: This flavor starts off sweet and floral, and the flavor grows the longer you chew. It's not terribly tart, but more flavorful and accurate than the watermelon flavor you find in jolly ranchers. I admit I liked it.
Sour Green Boogy: I admit, I tried this boogie and it tasted just like the Snottermelon, except the flavor was more intense. Sweetness mixed with a floral taste with a hint of artificial flavor. Regardless, it still tasted good. Now I am confused, since I've eaten many green boogers out of this bag, and neither of them really git this flavor title. So strange.
Lemon Loogy: This one was immediately tart and flavorful. It reminds me of a lemon drop or one of those lemon lollipops you get in banks. It has a nice lemon flavor with a hint of bitterness. Tasty and surprising.
I was surprised by these, as I really kinda liked them. Especially the lemon ones. I shared them around the office with my co-workers, as the question of "Hey want to have some of my Boogers?" never gets old. The brave few who tried them liked them as well. So, count this point toward to "you never know until you try it" theory. Pretty tasty and pretty good for Halloween!

An alternative to waiting for the official builds is to use the cross-compiled binaries from the OpenSUSE Build Service.

Metadata, such as your position, should require a search warrant to obtain. It's no different than if the police attached a tracking device under your car.
Some of the advice given by "Joe the Voter" is not valid. As soon as you call someone being monitored by law enforcement using your dollar-store phone, your phone will be identified and could then be monitored. VPN offers protection but could be decoded using sophisticated equipment. Turning the phone off is best, and airplane mode next (unless law enforcement uploaded a virus to your phone to keep the GPS and transmitter on, and the phone on but the screen blank).

Basic pieces of a practice session using current terminology:
15-20 minute technical warm-up. Coach can combine dynamic stretching, juggling, and footskills.
20-minute small-sided activity(ies) Put players in a grid doing some type of technique with a bit of pressure, time, or space constraint. For instance, play "knockout" where each player has a ball and tries to hit the other players' balls out of the grid.
20-25 minute expanded small-sided activity(ies) This is where directional play comes in. Coach can use an endline or target players or small goals for scoring options (i.e., 3 v 3 to Target players on the endline)
30-minute small-sided game (always to 2 goals; always with goalkeepers if you have the numbers) ALWAYS END WITH A SCRIMMAGE!

- How much of Cal is female, and how much of Calliope is male?
- Do you feel that Eugenides explores Cal's personality, or should he have described his narrator more thoroughly?
- What allusions to Greek literature and mythology are included in Middlesex?
- Which Greek heroes and stories do Cal and his journey remind you of?

History of the Event
2012- The Emerald Ball Goes Green at UNT's Apogee Stadium
The theme for 2012 reflected the importance of sustainability at UNT. In teaching, research and daily practice, the goal of finding solutions to meet the needs of the present while not compromising resources for future generations is woven into the fabric of the university. For example, UNT scientists are creating bioproducts using properties found in plants and other UNT researchers have established the world's first environmental philosophy, science and policy field station at the southern tip of Chile, building on UNT's strength in sub-Antarctic biocultural conservation and environmental science.
2011 – Emerald Ball "Goes Gatsby" at the Belo Mansion, Dallas
President V. Lane Rawlins announced a new partnership between the Emerald Eagle Scholars program and the Children's Defense Fund – Texas Beat the Odds® scholarship program.
The Children's Defense Fund's Beat the Odds scholarship program, which is awarded in Texas, Washington, D.C. and three other states, rewards outstanding high school seniors who have overcome tremendous adversity to achieve academically and demonstrate leadership in their communities. In addition to financial scholarships, CDF's Beat the Odds award provides mentoring, support and leadership training to create future advocates for children.
Since it began in 2007, the Emerald Eagle Scholars program has helped more than 1,900 young people realize their dream of attending college.
2010 – Emerald "Super" Ball at the Gaylord Texan, Grapevine
Ivonne Pereira
After becoming a member of the first group of Scholars, Ivonne Pereira became the program's first graduate when she received her bachelor's degree in international studies in December 2009.
Year-round fundraising, plus proceeds from each Emerald Ball, secured more than $1.2 million in endowed scholarship funding for the Emerald Eagle Scholars program.
In 2009, 1,151 students representing 95 Texas counties were participating in the program. Seventy-three percent are the first in their families to attend college.
Net income from the ball and donations made directly to the program added another $53,000 to the Emerald Eagle Scholars Endowment. A total of $12,000 was directed to a 1-to-1 match made possible when the university received funds through the Department of Education's Title III program.
2009 – Emerald Ball "Goes Wild" at the Fort Worth Zoo
Emerald Eagle Scholars
at the 2009 ball
The University of North Texas earned its third consecutive Texas Higher Education Star Award signifying its advances in meeting the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board's Closing the Gaps program. UNT's Emerald Eagle Scholars program earned the award for the university's work to ensure the university is among the leaders in Texas in increasing enrollment and degrees awarded.
2008 – Emerald Ball "Goes Texan" at the University Union, Denton
Guests enjoyed western music and art at the 2008 ball.
The Emerald Eagle Scholars program welcomed its first students in fall 2007.
The second annual Emerald Ball raised funds to support the Emerald Eagle Scholars program, designed to give Texas' academically talented undergraduates with high financial need the best chance to receive a college education.
With help from Emerald Ball proceeds, the Emerald Eagle Scholars Endowment surpassed $390,000 by June 2008.
2007 – Emerald Eagle Scholars program and endowment established
2007 Inaugural Emerald Ball
The Emerald Ball began at UNT in spring 2007 as a way to welcome the 14th president, Dr. Gretchen M. Bataille, to the university family. Dr. Bataille took the opportunity to reinforce her mission – and the university's – to provide opportunities for aspiring college students by creating the Emerald Eagle Scholars program.
The Emerald Eagle Scholars program is founded on three philosophical pillars – financial support, academic success and campus connection. It is available to incoming, fully admitted freshmen from Texas households with an annual income of $40,000 or less.
Eligible students must maintain a 2.5 grade point average and adhere to a course plan that will enable them to earn their degrees in four years. They also must be actively engaged in university life, including campus activities, mentoring and other student support programs.
Proceeds from the Emerald Ball and other support from a combination of individual donations and federal, state and university funds made more than $283,000 available to establish the Emerald Eagle Scholars Endowment.

"Mission of San Antonio de Padua" Jolon by grandmaR
Jolon Travel Guide: 21 reviews and 94 photos
The main thing of interest in this area is the Mission, which is 5 miles from Jolon.
Driving directions: From Los Angeles - drive 300 miles north on Hiway 101. Take the exit marked Jolon Road (G18). There is also a historical sign announcing this exit.
Once on Jolon Road, travel 22 miles. Take a left on Mission Creek Road. You will travel through the Fort Hunter Liggett military base entrance gate. Please continue 5 miles. The Mission is on your left with a well-marked sign.
Directions from San Francisco are under the "Off the Beaten Track" tips
We drove down Big Sur road one Sunday, and I saw that there was a road up into the mountains so in order not to backtrack we wound our way up to this mission. It isn't visited very much as it is off the beaten track. For more information see the "Off the Beaten Track" tip.
1771 Padre Junipero Serra entered the Valley of the Oaks, to found Mission San Antonio de Padua. In the secluded sierra district, Padres Serra, Pieras and Sitjar journeyed to establish the third mission in California. The date was July 14, 1771. Near the river San Antonio, on the branches of an oak tree, the bells were hung for the first time.
1773 The site of the Mission was changed from the original location to a place farther up Los Robles Valley. By the end of 1773, workshops, a small church and dwellings were established at the new site. The construction was of adobe brick. Some houses of tules and wood were set up to accommodate the soldier and converts who now numbered about 163.
1810 The final church structure was started. Construction progressed rapidly. The large timbers used for the ceiling were floated down from the mountains on the waters of the San Antonio River. The church was finally blessed in the year 1813. It is the same church building which stands reconstructed today.
1834 The beginning of the period of secularization. San Antonio becomes government property. Governor Figueroa on November 4, 1834 issued the final proclamation that took Mission San Antonio from the mission padres and placed the entire establishment under civil jurisdiction. At this time it began to fall into a state of neglect.
1863 The U.S. Land Commission formally returns Mission Lands (c. 33 acres) to the Church on May 31. Abraham Lincoln signed the decree for this return.
1883 The Mission is abandoned. Tiles are taken from the roof. Exposed to the weather, the walls crumble. Only walls of the church itself still stand, along with the brick facade and rows of brick arches along the front corridor.
1903-1908 Public spirited citizens began a limited restoration of the mission. An earthquake destroyed much of what they had done, but the project was begun over again.
1928 Eventually, 84 years after the last original missionary padre left, the Franciscans come back to their beloved San Antonio.
1948-49 Franciscans rebuild the Mission as a training school for brothers of the order. Work continues through the 1950's
- In a nutshell:Very Old and Very Off the Beaten Track

Reviews for Creamy Watermelon Pie
"Refreshing, easy, great idea. I added 1- 8 ounce cream cheese to the liquid ingredients then folded in the whipped topping and watermelon. Keep refrigerated."
"My family doubted that this recipe would taste good--whoever thought of putting watermelon in a pie? My theory is, though, that variety is the spice of cooking. Sure enough: the pie's flavors were delicious! I left off the mint, since I did not have any on hand. My only problem with the pie was that it was too runny to scoop out. I am going to try putting watermelon gelatin in this recipe next time I make it."
"This pie had a nice flavor, but the result was too runny. I would agree with another rater who stated they would freeze it before serving."
"just found Watermelon Gelatin from Jolly Rancher at Kroger....."
"I have made this pie for years. I do usually freeze it, and take it out about 15-20 minutes and let it set before serving so that it is not too runny."

InSPACE obtains basic data on MR fluids, i.e., a new class of "smart materials" that can be used to improve or develop new brake systems, seat suspensions robotics, clutches, airplane landing gear, and vibration damper systems. The colloidal (dispersed) particles are contained in CAs (Coil Assemblies) in the MSG that subject them to electric fields at certain strength and frequencies. The desired strong dipolar interaction between the small colloidal particles can be achieved in micro-G simply with an external magnetic field being turned on and off. On the ground, the flow properties (rheology) of many materials, especially those making up consumer products like detergents, fabric softeners, toothpaste and paints, are similarly controlled, though not by magnetic fields but by adding a polymer. It now appears, for example, that new formulations of fabric softeners may perform better in space than on earth. ) Additional Details: ISS On-Orbit Status 02/19/08.

Jimmy Hare
Before Capa or Duncan, there was Jimmy Hare.
I had never heard of him before yesterday, but Jimmy Hare was probably the best known photojournalist in the world around the beginning of the 20th Century.
Hare was hired by Collier's Weekly which was a pioneer in the use of half-tone photo reproductions to illustrate news stories. Here is a brief bio from the Luminous Lint site:
"Was one of the key photographers during the Spanish American War and his photographs for 'Colliers Weekly' are generally credited with greatly increasing circulation. He did photograph a number of wars following this including the Russo-Japanese War (1904), the Mexican Revolution (1911), the First Balkan War (1912), and the First World War (1914-) for 'Leslie's Weekly'."
References to Hare's work are easily found, but In spite of having millions of his photos in circulation at the time, Hare's photos seem to appear very rarely on the Web. The only ones I have located so far are at the Eastman Archive site. The photo above showing Hare with one of his big plate cameras in his lap is listed as a latern slide; the caption is rather cryptic, but the date gives it away. In 1911, Hare was covering the Battle of Juarez in the Mexican Revolution. The photo shows him seated in an ancient aircraft about to fly over the Rio Grande to photograph the combatants.
I only just learned of Hare as a result of attending a presentation last night by Miguel Ángel Berumen, a film and photography historian from Juárez, México. Berumen has authored two impressive books of photos on the Mexican Revolution, one about Pancho Villa, and the other about the Battle of Juarez(1911, La Batalla de Ciudad Juárez).
. . The book on the 1911 battle features many photos by and of the photographer, Hare. Berumen did an incredible research job to string together the story through the pictures of the battle; the work took a couple of years and was pursued in archives and private collections world-wide. To give just one example, Berumen was able through meticulous research to plot the exact street-by-street path followed by Hare and some other photographers as they accompanied the victorious rebel army into the center of Juarez.
In browsing the net, I came across references to a book on Hare published in 1977: Photojournalist: The Career of Jimmy Hare by Lewis L. Gould. I ordered a used copy for five bucks, and I'm looking forward to learning more about this remarkable photographer.
Quite awesome in range and quality.
Back in the pre-Internet Dark Ages you'd have had to have access to a high standard university library to have any chance of discovering gems like this guy and his work. Thanks for the alert.

A new survey from the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids has found that 11% of the 3,705 teens participating in their survey report "having used" synthetic human growth hormones (HGH) without a prescription, up dramatically from just 5 percent in 2012. One in five teens reported knowing at least one friend who uses a performance-enhancing drug. Why are teens turning to human growth hormones? Many of the answers lie in pressures for teens to achieve the "perfect body," and the belief that growth hormones can help in this quest.
What are synthetic human growth hormones?
Synthetic human growth hormone was developed in 1985, and FDA approved for very specific uses in children and adults. In children, HGH injections are approved for treating short stature of unknown cause as well as poor growth due to a number of medical causes. But the most common uses for HGH are not FDA-approved. Some people use the hormone, as well as other performance-enhancing drugs such as anabolic steroids, to build muscle and improve athletic performance.
There is also the belief that synthetic HGH promotes weight loss. While there have been few small studies have linked HGH injections with fat loss and muscle gain, the changes seen were minimal — just a few pounds — while the risks were substantial.
HGH is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for weight loss, experts further warn.
Interest in using HGH for weight loss originated with 1990 New England Journal of Medicine study that showed injections of synthetic HGH resulted in 8.8% gain in muscle mass and 14% loss in body fat without any change in diet or exercise. Most subsequent studies, however, have shown no such benefit.
In March 2003, the New England Journal of Medicine denounced the misuse of the 1990 study, pointing out that subsequent reports provide no reason to be optimistic. Despite this, this 1990 study is still being used to promote Internet sales of HGH for weight loss.
HGH supplements in capsule form are also readily available on the Internet. The ads tout irresistible benefits. Says one: "HGH (Human Growth Hormone) therapy isn't just an option, but an essential element for fitness, linked to amazing physiological enhancements: increased lean muscle mass, reduced body fat, greater endurance and faster recovery, as well as improvements in mood, sleep, skin tone and sex drive, among other positive effects." Such claims are misleading and dangerous.
Pressures to be thin and "fit"
Although this generation of high schoolers is more aware of the dangers of eating disorders, the pressures to be thin do not seem to be decreasing. According to a 2010 Reuters survey, almost nine in 10 American teenage girls say they feel pressured to be thin. These pressures often result in unhealthy dieting practices and eating disorders. The increase in HGH use, however, may reflect that such pressures have increased in boys as well.
A 2011 study of 10,123 adolescents ranging from 13- to 18-years-old found that rates of 0.3%, met clinical criteria for anorexia, 0.9% for bulimia and 1.6% for binge eating disorder. The study also found than an additional 3.3% had "sub-threshold" anorexia or bulimia, meaning that they demonstrated many symptoms of these diagnoses. The median ages for onset eating was about 12- to 13-years-old.
The study yielded some surprises. The teens with eating disorders demonstrated significant functional impairment and suicidality. Additionally there was not the gender gap previously found with either anorexia or bulimia.
According to the National Eating Disorder Association, males comprise approximately 10% of eating disordered individuals coming to the attention of mental health professionals. This number is likely very low due to the fact that many males with eating disorders are not identified or do not seek treatment. Male athletes (gymnasts, runners, body builders, wrestlers, etc.) are at particular risk.
There are also some differences in why males develop eating disorders. A sample of 1,373 high school students revealed that girls (63%) were four times more likely than boys (16%) to be attempting to reduce weight through exercise and caloric intake reduction. Boys were three times more likely than girls to be trying to gain weight (28% versus 9%). The cultural ideal for body shape for men versus women continues to favor slender women and athletic, V-shaped muscular men, making young men especially vulnerable to inducements such as HGH supplements.
Dangers of synthetic HGH
While synthetic HGH does have legitimate uses, there are dangers associated with its use. There are no real studies on what happens when teens take HGH to lose weight.
According to WebMD, possible side effects of HGH use include:
- nerve, muscle, or joint pain
- swelling due to fluid in the body's tissues (edema)
- carpal tunnel syndrome
- numbness and tingling of the skin
- high cholesterol levels
HGH can also increase the risk of diabetes and contribute to the growth of cancerous tumors.
Teens obtaining the drug illicitly may not know they are really getting. Because of the high cost, HGH drugs have been counterfeited. Even those available from legitimate sources are risky.
Education is important
This study is an important one for educators, parents and others who support our youth. "We know that the win-at-all costs culture in sport and in society as a whole has a direct impact on the health and well-being of young people," said Travis T. Tygart, CEO of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. "The results of this study further demonstrate the importance of educating young people, their parents and coaches on the risks associated with the use of performance-enhancing drugs, and the need to protect young people from those who would prey on them as easy marketing targets."

College Hockey:Wolverines Defeat In-State Rival Wildcats on Historic Night
Red Berenson Reaches 600 Victory Plateau
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Red Berenson walked into his post-game Yost Arena press conference Friday night, sat a puck on the table in front of him and leaned forward with a satisfied smile.
His Michigan Wolverines had just rewarded him with a 5-2 victory over Northern Michigan, a win that gave Berenson his 600th career coaching victory. All 600 wins came at Michigan, his alma mater, in a span of 23 seasons reaching back to 1984.
"T.J. (Hensick) and (Matt) Hunwick gave me that puck as a memento of 600," said Berenson. "I told them that my favorite win was number 300. If you put numbers on things, it (number 300) was in Cincinnati when we played Colorado College. I don't know if they have pucks like this in St. Louis (site of this season's Frozen Four), but it would be nice to have one," he noted with another small smile.
Berenson, a former Michigan captain and two-time All-American for the Wolverines, sits in eighth place on the list of all-time college coaching wins and, with only five more victories this season, will have put together a string of twenty straight campaigns with twenty or more wins.
"Red deserves all the credit in the world for getting 600," said Northern Michigan head coach Walt Kyle. "I just wish it wasn't against us, but it was."
"We just gave him the puck," said Hensick. "As a team we're just happy to be a part of it. You just realize the tradition all the teams that Coach has had in the past. Hopefully, we can continue the legacy that he has created."
Despite a small shooting edge of 33 shots to 26 over Northern, Michigan capitalized on early scoring chances in both the first two periods to jump to a 4-0 lead and goaltender Billy Sauer made several big saves on Wildcat scoring opportunities to help preserve the victory.
"It was a good game for our team," said Berenson of the milestone win. "We saw Northern as a dangerous team. They're a physical team. We got some balanced scoring tonight – a shorthanded goal, a power play goal, a good effort in goal. It's a good win, but the whole weekend comes down to tomorrow night."
"They're a very good team," commented Kyle on the Wolverines. "We let them get out on us early. They are a team that can convert on opportunities and they did. We struggled converting our opportunities. I thought we were disciplined tonight. We didn't give them a lot of power plays. We just have to tighten up a little bit (tomorrow)."
Michigan jumped on the Wildcats early in the first period with two goals in the first ten minutes of the period.
Wolverine defenseman Jason Dest's shot from the right point rebounded off the stick of Wildcat netminder Bill Zaniboni straight out to Brandon Naurato who slapped it by Zaniboni at 4:50.
Freshman Anthony Ciraulo tipped defenseman Steve Kampfer's shot between Zaniboni's legs to give Michigan a 2-0 edge at 10:02 for his first career goal.
"Anthony Ciraulo has come in the hard way," said Berenson of the freshman. He's had to wait just to get a chance to play. He plays bigger than he is and he has some puck skills."
The Wolverines broke out even quicker in the second period.
Tim Miller whirled around during a scramble in front of the Wildcat net and picked the puck out of the air, thigh-high, to beat Zaniboni baseball-style at 2:29.
Less than two minutes later with Wolverine Danny Fardig in the penalty box, Michigan defenseman Mark Mitera made a nice clearing play at his own blueline sending Hensick and Kevin Porter on a two on one shorthanded break. Hensick's pass found Porter waiting to bang it home to grow the Wolverine lead to 4-0.
Northern Michigan's Mike Santorelli replied quickly for the Wildcats with his team-leading 18th goal, closing out the second period scoring.
Michigan's Andrew Cogliano and Northern Michigan's Nick Sirota traded third period goals, but the early damage done by the Wolverines was ultimately too much for the Wildcats to overcome.
Asked if he anticipated seeing victory number 700, Berenson said "that's a good question. I would say that's a long way off. It depends on how good our team is. You only play 40 games (a year)."
Both Michigan (15-8-0, 10-5-0 CCHA) and Northern Michigan (8-14-1, 5-11-1 CCHA) return to Yost Arena ice on Saturday night for the re-match of their two-game weekend series.

Acoustic warning devices have been used to provide warning and alerting in emergency situations for ages. Beating on various metal objects was used in ancient times. Later bell towers were built for this purpose and at the beginning of the 20th century mechanical rotating sirens started to appear. These are basically formed by an electric motor with a specially treated head that emits a sound while rotating. Those sirens are still used in many countries. The development of electronics, however, has also influenced this area and first electronic sirens started to appear at the end of the 20th century. Electronic sirens are basically high-performance electronic amplifiers just like those in home sound systems. However, these sirens work with substantially higher outputs and specific demands are placed on them in terms of desired extreme reliability and different methods of their control. Control infrastructure must also be reliable and usually two independent control channels are required. The loudspeakers for these amplifiers are placed in a specially-designed sound baffles (horns) and they play the signals stored in the siren's digital memory or signals fed to the siren from external sources – a microphone, phone, radio station, common radio and television broadcasting, etc. Telegrafia currently offers two product lines of state of the art electronic sirens: PAVIAN and GIBON. New item in the sortiment is integrated compact electronic siren SCREAMER.
How to choose the right electronic siren?
Siren applications and to a large extent siren technical requirements are defined directly by law in many developed countries. Even though the requirements in question are similar, from the technical point of view they are so different that they cannot be met by a single version of a siren alone. Great attention is also paid to siren backup in the case of an external power failure. That is the reason why a modern siren, i.e. a modular device with many firmware versions from the hardware point of view, is normally backed up by batteries and designed in such a way that electric power supply is used at a minimum when it is not active. The conversion of electric power into acoustic power is at peak efficiency when the siren is active and is transmitting sound signal.
Main advantages of electronic sirens:
Main disadvantages of motor-driven sirens:
Electronic siren PAVIAN
Electronic siren PAVIAN represents the highest level of electronic warning systems offered by Telegrafia. They are modular electronic devices primarily designed for establishing large and complex early warning systems requiring sophisticated control and efficient siren status monitoring. These are also used as locally controlled devices where required due to a more complex interface with the environment or when a sophisticated algorithm for reacting to external signals is desired. Based on information gained from the environment, these systems are capable of reacting on the basis of modifiable algorithms and, in addition to acoustic warning system initiation; they are also capable of controlling external devices. For instance a certain value of a harmful substance as read by a sensor connected directly to the siren's input can be of such a character that the siren activates a beacon or text message in addition to acoustic warning system initiation.
Electronic siren Gibon
The GIBON electronic siren provides high-quality sound distribution in the threatened area at an optimal price. It is mainly designed as separate, locally-controlled warning equipment. However, it can be also used for creating simple early warning systems. It enables the creation of systems with output of 300 – 1,200 W.
Integrated electronic siren SCREAMER
Integrated compact electronic siren SCREAMER is a specialized electronic component in the modular sound distribution, early warning and evacuation system, aSCADA. The electronic module of SCREAMER component is placed directly in a durable aluminum alloy horn with a powerful pressure loudspeaker. This module integrates powerful electronic amplifier, digital audio signals memory and input interfaces to activate the playback of pre-recorded warning messages or broadcast live reports.
Electronic sirens are either used as separate, locally controlled equipment or as a part of larger warning systems, which is their most common application. Unlike the small systems consisting of several sirens, large systems can be formed by thousands of connected sirens. Considering the fact that these systems are used only in the situations of real danger, which is an occasional event, one has to be sure that they will really function at the time when they are actually needed. Therefore great demands are placed on automatic testing functions in connection with both sirens and related infrastructure. Experience from all over the world shows that power failures and telecommunication infrastructure failures are very often part of the emergencies. In most cases standard telecommunication infrastructures do not meet the long-term backup requirement during a power failure. That is the reason why large warning systems virtually always use two independent channels for siren network control. It is preferred to use at least one radio channel with its own backup infrastructure, able to power the siren for dozens of hours including three five minutes long sound transmissions.
Acusticus Professional is an online browser-based application for creating public warning acoustic projects. You can create a simple project with only one siren or a complex modular system with dozens of sirens, measuring points, noise background and other objects. Since version v2.0 you can also create interior acoustic projects for indoor and outdoor public address systems. It is completely free to use - no fee or installation, however we recommend you to register to be able to save the projects or use advanced settings and features.
