Police are appealing for information about aggravated robbery
of a Hamilton takeaway bar on Saturday where a young girl was
held up at gunpoint.
Detective Senior Sergeant Nigel Keall of the Hamilton CIB
said police were called to the Dinsdale shop shortly after
10pm on Saturday after reports a man with a blue handkerchief
over his face had entered the store.
"The man is alleged to have confronted the 10-year-old girl
working behind the counter and pulled out a handgun before
demanding money from the till," Mr Keall said.
"The offender made off on foot, taking a small sum of cash
and was last seen running towards the Riflerange Rd-Killarney
Rd intersection."
Mr Keall said members of the girl's family were present at
the store at the time of the robbery. The young girl is being
given victim support and arrangements are being made to
interview her with specialist child interviewers, as well as
"Police would like to speak to anyone in the area at the time
of the incident who saw someone running from the scene or
acting suspiciously."
Mr Keall said the offender was described as thinly built with
a fair complexion and distinctive blue eyes wearing a grey or
light coloured hooded sweatshirt with a blue handkerchief or
bandana over his face.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Detective
Sergeant Ricky Thompson at the Hamilton Central Police
Station on 07 858 6200 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
What was a 10-year-old child doing tending a takeaway shop
counter after 10pm?
Maybe the police should be asking the parents why a child was
behind the counter at 10pm ?

Researchers have found that just one hour of meditation training can reduce immediate pain by nearly half and have a long lasting effect.The technique appears to work as it calms down pain experiencing areas of the brain while at the same time boosting coping areas."This is the first study to show that only a little over an hour of meditation training can dramatically reduce both the experience of pain and pain-related brain activation," said Dr Fadel Zeidan, lead author at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in North Carolina.

can anyone offer some helpful bedtime tips? i thought zoe was ready to sleep on her own because we had almost a week of sleeping 8 hours at night. she does have to be swaddled but sleeps like a champ. the last few nights she has been whiny. maybe i'm being paronoid.
bedtime woes
Loving Avery & Zoe, even when I want to run away and join the circus
Still jealous of your 8 hrs. Tried swaddling a very reluctant Eli last night...he screamed and hollered until he got his hands out..friggin Houdini no matter how tight I wrap him..sigh

Is Zoe just whiny when she is falling asleep? Or does she wake up in the middle of the night? Hmmm...not sure what to tell ya. Except that I am jealous of your 8hrs!! LOL
How old is Zoe?
Nicholas goes up and down. He was sleeping for 6 hours, then started 8 hours, then totally digressed and went to 4-5 hours. Now, he is usually 6 (which, is still good), with the ocasional 8 hours.
I know that babies go through different developmental stages, sleepwise, and there isn't much we can do about that. Often having a regression in sleep around 4 months (adjusted age).
I'll answer for Shawnn...lol.
Zoe was 5mo as of yesterday.

i know! my baby is a big girl now. i broke down and got the box of cereal but stuck it in the pantry. my family believes cereal makes a baby sleep but i am wary of giving it to her. zoe fusses for about 2 minutes the is just POOF! asleep. i didnt want her sleeping with the paci so i just put her down for the night unswaddled so she could suck her thumb, that was a disaster! we finally got a crib yesterday and i am trying to prepare myself for the transition. do you think she will stop sleeping if she's not in here with me? i am also worried because i don't know how much longer i'm gonna nurse....its both of our security blanket (she sleeps better and i'm not up making bottles)
Loving Avery & Zoe, even when I want to run away and join the circus
My fam believes the same thing!!
She'll sleep in the crib by herself...may take her awhile to not be able to smell you...being near and all. You don't have to give up nursing just because she's not in the room with you...made it easier but you can still nurse..just involves getting up sitting in a rocking chair or someother type of chair in her room....make sure you have a blanket, a small pillow and an alarm clock handy for when you fall asleep...trust me you will.
With my other kiddos my neck would hurt until I got a pillow, eaned all the way back in my rocking chair so it wouldn't rock forward and be "reclined,"wrapped a blanket over them and around to the side they weren't nursing on, latched on and happily I went back to sleep..until the pillow dropped...lol.
Eli has a room but Its no where near ready for him..clothes in the crib, shoes and toys on the floor, closet such a mess......no crib stuff!!!
If you're not in a rush why don't you wait until Thanksgiving break to put her in the crib...that way you can be "rested" if she doesn't do so well....and you and your students won't suffer....

I totally envy more than 2 hours of sleep at a time. Jeremiah wakes nearly every hour to eat. How is the transition going? I don't know how I would take a move like that. Good luck
Mommy to:^B^ J&^J^(8) L(7) ^J^ ^m^ ^m^ ^m^ J(5) ^b^ ^g&g^ N(2) L(11/13)
I know she's young, but is there any chance she could be teething?
Also, maybe sleep with one of her stuffed animals one night so it will have your smell. Then put it in her crib with her. DD is almost 2. I work 3rd shift so I'm not home when she's sleeping. Sometimes DH still has to put one of my worn t-shirts in with her to comfort her.
And I agree. You're LO will go up and down in sleep patterns. I think this one might be caused by the change in sleeping location. After she gets used to it, I'm sure she'll be back to her 8 hours (for a while).
Did you put her in her crib for naps before making the transition at night?
Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks.
its totally random when it comes to naps. my sitter has a bed that she sleeps in there. her power naps (630-700 pm) is in the bouncy chair. i put her down for the night in her bassinet swaddled and she is usually down for the count. i did try to let her sleep on one of my t-shirts that i had a massive let down episode and no good. i think that was when she was still very random with her sleep patterns. i think you are right about waiting till thanksgiving to try the crib out. maybe we will start with weeknd naps and go from there. what is jeremiah's adjusted age? i was always told they had to weigh a certain amount to be able to go longer without eating. zoe hit almost 14 lbs and thats when we lucked up on our 8 hour miracle.
Loving Avery & Zoe, even when I want to run away and join the circus
Jeremiah is 8 lbs 4 ozs, and 1 week adjusted what my nurse suggested (Jeremiah will not sleep unless my arm is his pillow) is to put some used nipple pads (from that day) in his bed because he likes to sleep with his nose by my breast, that way he can still smell the milk. I give my husband the ones that I leaked through and he puts them on himself while holding Jeremiah and Jeremiah will let him (my husband) hold him (Jeremiah)for a while now. It might work for you, it might not, just a suggestion (I do wash them in the morning) but he doesn't fall for it very long, but maybe because zoe is older it might help?

should i call her, should i forget about her or what? so there was this girl in my summer class about 4 or 5 months ago we talk allot; she like to laugh at my unfunny jokes, most of the time she sits next to me. one tine i was listening carefully to the lecture of my professor and she was poking me on the cheek with her finger or pencil i looked at her, smiled, and said"yes?" she just smiled and giggled. she kind of hits me randomly sometimes too. one day i was not in the mood she was like "somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed" and she looked at me and drew this smiley face on my paper. One time I told her about her this iPhone app that tracks people down its called Google latitude and she asked me if i was tracking down my ex i just said no. she also likes to call me an "old man" and she told me that i was funny when i jokingly told her to Facebook me
we were looking at classes for fall semester that day on my iPhone she was talking about this only one class that she can take (she works full time) out loud for some reason
so the summer semester was ending i escorted her to her car I asked her for a hug, and i told her i was gonna miss her; she told me to take health class with her on the fall, then she asked me for my number and she said that she will text me on which professor to take in that class. the day after this i saw her and said "hi friend". about a month passed by and she didn't text me so i texted her and she didn't reply (she had a death her family and i understand)
we haven't talked for 5 months. (i'm very busy)
she kinda have this something that I like that I don't know that I wanna know
was she interested ?
should i call her up?
what do i tell her?
or should i just forget about her (i have lots of other female options)
she's in her mid twenties almost(24), and i'll be 18 in 6 months

"It sure is a big freaking rock." Bernal by Aelena23
Bernal Travel Guide: 14 reviews and 50 photos
You can see the monolith (third largest in the world! Thanks for VT member for tip re: shooting locale for Close Encounters of the Third Kind) from the bus...THERE it is...there it goes? Bernal doesn't have a bus station. You have to see the rock and know enough to get off the bus. A couple other befuddled travelers made their way back to town with me after we figured if we didn't speak up it would be a realllly long walk. Of course this little mixup was a blessing (usually is. I love this country!)--we found this amazing public park that is really difficult to capture in words...sort of like ancient ruins, but a public town space with a theater space (there's a huge sun symbol on the floor, which makes me think of a pelota court, for some reason, but no, no sacrifices, just theater). There is a chapel on the edge of this little sanctuary, and it feels incredibly peaceful. The legend is something like, a guy saw some thieves coming and prayed to be hidden, and they didn't see him. Miracle! So he had a shrine built here. This was all some centuries ago. The shrine is partially maintained, partially not, and feels incredibly peaceful. Wait! I said that already. There is something about Bernal that's lulling, not exactly soothingly so, either...but in shopping, when a shopkeeper asked if I'd seen the rock up close (nope), she had someone up the street watch her shop so she could take me through her sister-in-law's (cu�ada--my Spanish lessons!) hacienda to stand on their balcony, right under the huge thing. Sent chills down my spine. I explained this, and when she ushered me back out onto the sidewalk, she proudly told all her friends that I was deeply affected by the sight. Cool awesome people, great walking, feels a little spooky, must go back.
Well, where does one start? For some reason, the shopping here seems better than in Queretaro. I found some great stuff. Note: I found something perfect for a friend and found the telltale remnant of a tag...yes, I suspect half the clothing is from India. But it's still lovely. You can get stones from the area, which are rumored to have soothing and mysterious powers--the locals, living under the shadow of the rock, are remarkably long-lived. Couldn't have anything to do with the lack of renegade taxis, could it? Actually, there are still some renegade taxis. Okay, so one of the biggest problems about being in Mexico is that this is a country that likes sweets. Me too! Dulces de Bernal are widely renowned for their toothsomeness, and boy, are they yummy. There are caramel-like things that are particularly dangerous. Be warned, if you have a sugar problem, this is not a place to visit unprepared. Do not visit on an empty stomach. Do bring your suntan lotion, or else you will end up NOT climbing la pe�a (name of aforementioned big rock) because of being so scorched. You will spend a great deal of the next day in the cool shady depths of your apartment. Trust me. You will dodge questions from people all week about why you went to Bernal alone (you will not be able to explain this away like you can with the movie pilgrimage to San Miguel, because who makes pilgrimages for Spielberg? Dawson Leary?) and you will spend the time thinking about camping and having a guide take you all the way to the top of the stupid thing, which you swear you can still feel thrumming in your bones. Maybe you will plan a trip with your sister. If your sister is like mine, who hiked Katahdin and did the Knife's Edge, you know you are already outclassed but look forward to the trip anyway.
- Pros:Small, nice people, great walking, big rock, good shopping.
- Cons:Umm...kind of hard to figure out where to catch the bus.
- In a nutshell:Great for the scenery, lousy for the waistline.

SEBI imposes Rs 4 lakh penalty on Sunday Exports, two directors
Mumbai: Market regulator SEBI Thursday said it has imposed total a penalty of Rs 4 lakh on Sunday Exports Ltd (SEL) and its two directors for delay in framing the model code of conduct for prevention of insider trading regulations.
In an order, SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) said it has slapped a fine of Rs 1 lakh each on SEL directors Pravinchandra Dashrathbhai Patel and Fulian Ashvin Reshamwala.
Besides, the regulator said it has slapped a total penalty of Rs 2 lakh on SEL for delay in framing the internal policy on code of conduct for prevention of insider trading as well as for not disclosing its quarterly financial results to the stock exchange with the prescribed period of 15 minutes after the conclusion of the board meeting.
"The noticees, being the Whole Time Directors of SEL, failed in discharging their responsibility of the overall supervision of setting forth policies, procedures, monitoring adherence to the rules for the preservation of 'Price Sensitive Information', preclearing; of designated employees? and their dependents' trades, monitoring of trades and the implementation of the code of conduct," SEBI said.
In Sunday Exports case, SEBI said that the company submitted the approved quarterly financial results to the stock exchange with a delay of two days.
The regulator said it had conducted an investigation into alleged irregularity in the trading in the scrip of Sunday Exports during April-July 2010.

TSMC to Spend $258 Million on New Solar Modules Plant
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the world's largest custom manufacturer of chips, will spend $258 million in the first phase of a plan to make solar modules as it turns to renewable energy to boost growth.
"The investments will ensure continued future revenue growth," Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Morris Chang said today.
Taiwan Semiconductor will begin volume production at the plant in Taichung, central Taiwan, in 2012, with equipment to be moved in from April next year, the company said in a statement. The initial annual capacity of 200 megawatts will be increased in the second phase to 700 megawatts, and the facility will eventually employ 2,000 people, it said.
The company, which makes chips for Qualcomm Inc. and Texas Instruments Inc., is developing solar energy and light-emitting diodes to supplement growth from semiconductors. Global solar capacity demand will climb 23 percent annually to 2015, as the company targets long-term annual revenue growth of 10 percent.
Revenue and pre-tax profit will climb more than 40 percent this year and at least 10 percent next year as the company outgrows the global chip market, Chang said.
Global chip industry sales will expand 30 percent this year and 5 percent next year, Chang said. The company's 10 percent long-term annual growth target compares with Chang's earlier forecast for a 7 percent annual industrywide expansion.
TSMC fell 1 percent to NT$60.60 at 1:06 p.m. in Taipei.
Solar Modules
Taiwan Semiconductor announced in June it would buy 21 percent of San Jose-based Stion Corp. for $50 million to develop and manufacture a thin-film solar technology called copper indium gallium selenide technology, or CIGS.
Some types of thin-film solar cells can produce electricity up to 20 percent cheaper then silicon-based cells, according to estimates from Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
Taiwan Semiconductor's CIGS modules currently convert 12 percent of solar energy into electricity, and aims to raise that to 16 percent in five years, said Rick Tsai, president of new businesses.
Spending at the company will reach a record $5.9 billion this year as it boosts capacity and improves technology in anticipation of higher demand for chips used in phones, electronics devices and computers, Chang said, reiterating an earlier forecast. The company will spend an additional NT$300 billion ($9.4 billion) in coming years to build new chip factories in Taichung, Chang said on July 16.
Chang raised his forecast for the global chip market in June, predicting average growth of 7 percent annually from 2011 to 2016, compared with an earlier forecast of 4 percent to 6 percent. Demand will be spurred by developing economies such as China, he said.
Global solar capacity demand will grow an average 23 percent between 2009 and 2015, Tsai said. Demand for solar power using CIGS technology will grow an average 115 percent between this year and 2015, he said.

Kitsap County's first group of International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Candidates begin their two years of coursework this fall at West Sound Academy, a private school in Poulsbo, WA. The students reflect on what it's like to be in the IB program.
There have been three weeks of school at WSA; so all the teachers have had a chance to present their 'big picture' views of what's required in their disciplines for the next two years. All of these students are enrolled in six IB classes, three of which they choose to take as Higher Level courses. All courses (Higher and Standard) have exams in May, with Higher Level classes requiring additional assessments. The IB program also requires the Theory of Knowledge survey course on the philosophy of learning, completion of a personal program of community service and involvement, as well as a 4,000-word research paper, the Extended Essay. This paper is sent first to an IB office in Cardiff, Wales, then on to an international IB examiner to be scored. Evan Romasco-Kelly of Bainbridge Island acknowledges, "Looking at this long-term, there will be a lot of writing. We'll have to balance a lot of different requirements this year." Speaking of Hillman's master calendar, Mara Rolsky of Suquamish says, "When I see Barrie's calendar, and everything that I'll be doing this year and next, it's hard for me to imagine writing all of those papers and doing all that work. It's a little intimidating. Still, I know I'll be able to do all of it. I'm excited to get started!" Reagan Colyer of Poulsbo points out, "The IB requires a variety of things: Theory of Knowledge, service, writing. The ability to say which of the courses you'll take as Higher Level or Standard Level allows you to focus on what's the most interesting to you or what you're best at. You can plan your program so it meets the goals you have for college or career."
Romasco-Kelly adds that the option of choosing which classes to have as Higher Level has increased the degree of interest and enthusiasm he sees in his classmates. "The students in these classes have chosen to put their energy into these Higher Level courses, and they're motivated to work hard." Tim Hinrichs, an international student from Kleinmachnow, Germany, will be at WSA for his junior year, then return to finish his diploma at an IB school in his home country. He appreciates the structure of the IB program that makes his work in the United States this year applicable to his school back home. "The IB has advantages to the international student. Having the IB work I do here apply to my own school means I will be able to graduate with my class, and not 'lose' a year because of being at an American school."
The path to the IB really began for these students when they were in 9th grade. West Sound Academy applied to become an International Baccalaureate World School in the fall of 2009. Teachers have been trained, reports have been filed, and now, in the fall of 2011, the classes have begun. Romasco-
Next month the IB students and their teachers will present "IB Is a Lot Like You", a program for the public giving information about the International Baccalaureate Diploma at two local libraries: October 5, 2011, 7 p.m. at Bainbridge Public Library and October 12, 2011, 7 p.m. at Poulsbo Library.

Need ideas: good math textbook/supplemental text for fourth grader (self.mathbooks)
submitted 3 years ago * by podkayne3000
[–]JohnBornMarch16th 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
The Art of Problem Solving is the premier adolescent problem solving organization in the United States, and I used their secondary school textbooks while I was in high school. Unfortunately, there aren't a plethora of books in the age range category and AoPS is launching Beast Academy (currently only 3rd grade textbooks have been released) to fill the relatively untapped market. The link I provided has some books that you can look at :-)
When I was a kid, my parents got me math puzzle books like the MENSA books that are dirt cheap on Amazon, and pretty much let me explore problem solving strategies on my own. It was long and hard but they encouraged me to persist.

It's Super Bowl Sunday! Before you eat a bunch of super unhealthy food and then lose all productivity at the office on Monday, let's rap about the Caps win over the Philadelphia Flyers.
The Caps looked sluggish in the first, giving the Flyers an early lead when MDZ knifed a redirected slapshot. The Caps rallied in the second, scoring twice on consecutive shots, the first knifed by Alex Ovechkin and the second knifed by Dmitry Orlov.
Carrying a lead into the third period, the Caps promptly surrendered it as Nick Schultz knifed a goal after a Caps icing. No matter: Matt Niskanen wrested back the lead by driving between the Philadelphia and knifing a gorgeous goal single-handed.
Caps beat Flyers 3-2!

IIS 6.0 is a ground up rewrite of the previous incarnation of IIS, version 5.0. IIS has been redesigned to improve aspects of all the main feature areas: reliability, availability, manageability, scalability and performance.
Fault-tolerant process architectureThe IIS 6.0 fault-tolerant process architecture isolates Web sites and applications into self-contained units called application pools. Application pools provide a convenient way to administer a set of Web sites and applications and increase reliability, because errors in one application pool cannot cause another application pool, or the server itself, to fail.
Health monitoringIIS 6.0 periodically checks the status of an application pool with automatic restart on failure of the Web sites and applications within that application pool, increasing application availability. IIS 6.0 protects the server, and other applications, by automatically disabling Web sites and applications that fail too often within a short amount of time.
Automatic process recyclingIIS 6.0 automatically stops and restarts faulty Web sites and applications based on a flexible set of criteria, including CPU utilization and memory consumption, while queuing requests. IIS 6.0 also maintains the client TCP/IP connection when a worker process is being recycled, isolating Web services client applications from back-end Web application instability.
Rapid-fail protectionIf an application fails too often within a short amount of time, IIS 6.0 will automatically disable it and return a "503 Service Unavailable" error message to any new or queued requests to the application. Custom actions, for example, a debugging action or administrator notification, can also be triggered. Rapid-fail protection can protect a Web server against denial of service attacks.
XML-based configuration fileThe XML-formatted, plain text metabase in IIS 6.0 provides improved backup and restore capabilities for servers that experience critical failures. It also provides improved troubleshooting and metabase corruption recovery. Direct editing, using common text editing tools, provides greater manageability.
Edit-while-runningIIS 6.0 gives administrators the important capability to change the server configuration while the server continues running. For example, this feature can be used to add a new site, create virtual directories, or change the configuration of application pools and worker processes—all while IIS 6.0 continues to process requests—with no recompilation or restart required.
Command-line and script-based administrationIIS 6.0 administrators can use the Windows Server 2003 command-line to accomplish many common management tasks. With a single command, administrators can manage multiple local or remote computers. IIS 6.0 also features a complete scripting environment for automating common system administration tasks from the command-line without having to use a graphical user interface.
Support for WMIIIS 6.0 provides full support for Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), giving Web administrators access to important system management data, such as performance counters and configuration files. The WMI interfaces, similar in nature to the Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) that are still supported, are used in administration scripts and can also be used to modify the XML-based configuration metabase.
Server ConsolidationIIS 6.0 performance has increased dramatically over previous versions of the server, with a single server able to host many more sites and applications.
Site scalabilityIIS 6.0 has improved the way the operating system uses internal resources. For example, IIS 6.0 does not pre-allocate resources at initialization time. Many more sites can be hosted on a single server running IIS 6.0, and a larger number of worker processes can be concurrently active. Starting up and shutting down a server is faster, compared with earlier versions of IIS. All of these improvements contribute to increased site scalability with IIS 6.0.
New kernel-mode driver, HTTP.sysWindows Server 2003 introduces a new kernel-mode driver, HTTP protocol stack (HTTP.sys), for HTTP parsing and caching, providing increased scalability and performance. IIS 6.0 is built on top of HTTP.sys and is specifically tuned to increase Web server throughput.
Web gardensIIS 6.0 worker process isolation mode also enables multiple worker processes to be configured to service requests for a given application pool, a configuration known as a Web garden.
Processor affinityProcessor affinity, when set, enables IIS 6.0 worker processes to run on specific microprocessors or CPUs. Processor affinity can also be used with Web gardens that run on multiprocessor computers where clusters of CPUs have been dedicated to specific application pools.
Increased SecurityIIS 6.0 is far more secure than IIS 4x or IIS 5x, with many new features designed to increase the security of the Web infrastructure. IIS 6.0 is also "locked down" out of the box with the strongest time-outs and content limits set by default.
Locked-down serverIIS 6.0 provides significantly improved security. To reduce the attack surface of systems, IIS 6.0 is not installed by default on Windows Server 2003—administrators must explicitly select and install it. IIS 6.0 ships in a locked-down state, serving only static content. Using the Web service extension node, Web site administrators can enable or disable IIS functionality based on the individual needs of the organization.
Web service extensions listThe default installation of IIS will not compile, execute, nor serve files with dynamic extensions. In order to have them served, each acceptable file extension must be added to the Web service extensions list. This requirement prevents anyone from calling a page with a dynamic extension that has not been secured.
Default low-privilege accountAll IIS 6.0 worker processes—by default—run as Network Service user accounts, a new, built-in account type with limited operating system privileges, on Windows Server 2003. All ASP built-in functions always run as low-privileged accounts (anonymous user).

"It's stuff you'd put on the hi-fi. Early stereo: 'Lounge' with a capital 'L.'"
"Chaise Lounge's music has a lush sound that has an almost orchestral feel.... The songs are precisely crafted, impeccably arranged and very melodic."

My homepage is here (currently only working in Chrome) -
As you can see the header logo is white which is fine.
However on these two pages -
The background is white, which of course means the logo won't show up.
The logo is currently an uploaded png. The theme I am using has a specific section in the interface to upload the header logo.
I can create a new logo in black, but how would I set the individual pages to read a different logo to the one on the homepage?
Or would it be easier to configure the logo headings with a web font?
I would really appreciate any help on this.

A former far-left militant was killed in central Rome on Friday in a shoot-out with private security guards when he and two others attempted to rob a security van, Italian media reported.
The gunfire sparked panic in a busy area of the centre close to Santa Maria Maggiore, a major basilica popular with visiting pilgrims.
One security guard, who was carrying a bag with 100,000 euros ($130,000) from a bank that the robbers tried to steal, was injured, reports said.
The man killed was named by police as Giorgio Frau, who was reported by Italian media as having been a member of several militant groups including the Red Brigades during the 1970s and 1980s.
Police arrested Frau's two alleged accomplices.
Frau was sentenced to four years and eight months in prison in 2004 for illegal possession of firearms, including a Kalashnikov assault rifle and seven handguns.

French and Francophone Studies encompasses both the mastery of French language skills and the study of the broad French and francophone intellectual traditions, including the literature, culture and history of France, French Canada and other francophone countries in Europe, Africa and the Caribbean. Along with a high level of competence in an important world language, majors acquire a broad knowledge of one of the world's most dynamic cultural traditions and its complex relations with other countries and cultures around the world. Major requirements are flexible enough to allow students to combine coursework in French language, literature and culture with related programs of study, including majors and minors in other fields and certificate programs. Students are encouraged to pursue double majors. A study-abroad program in Paris (with both academic-year and semester-long options) is sponsored by UMass and is recommended for all students interested in French language and culture.
The prerequisite to the French and Francophone Studies major is proficiency at the elementary level (French 120 or 126, or the equivalent). Students with no prior knowledge of French should begin their course of study with French 110 or 126. All others should consult the French Placement Guidelines to determine their initial placement level.
The major in French and Francophone Studies requires a minimum of 36 credits. A maximum of 6 credits of coursework at the intermediate level (selected from French 240, 246, 250, 273, 285) may be counted in these 36 credits; all others must be in courses at the 300 level or higher. Students must demonstrate proficiency at the intermediate level by achieving a grade of B+ or better in French 240. Students who do not do this must complete French 250.
Majors are required to complete the following courses:
371 Advanced Grammar and Composition I
473 Advanced Grammar and Composition II
384 Themes in French Intellectual and Literary History
386 French History from the Origins to 1945
494SI Senior Seminar (fulfills the Integrative Experience requirement)
303 Writing on Language (the Junior Year Writing seminar in French and Francophone Studies; double majors who have completed the JYW seminar in their other major may substitute another French course at the 300 level or higher)
Majors must also take at least one course in three of the five following areas:
Students complete the major with additional elective courses at the 300 level or above to reach the 36 credit requirement.
The major in French and Francophone Studies with a concentration in teaching prepares students to earn a teaching license in French for grades five to twelve. Students interested in this option should apply during the second semester of their sophomore year to the Secondary Teacher Education Program (STEP) at the UMass College of Education. For further information about the STEP program, please consult the College of Education's Educator Licensure Office, in particular the Foreign Language Program Guide and the program's admissions policies. Students complete the same major requirements as other French majors, as well as additional courses in education studies. Study abroad in France or another francophone country is strongly advised. The program aims for balanced competence in the fields of French studies and the teaching of foreign languages, culminating in a student teaching practicum during the last semester of the program. Students completing the STEP program receive an Initial License, which allows them to seek employment as a middle- or high-school French teacher. The Initial License is valid for five years, during which students must complete the additional necessary coursework (generally a Master's degree) to obtain a Professional License. For advising on the French major with concentration in teaching, contact the French teacher licensure coordinator, Prof. Rhonda Tarr.
Students are encouraged to develop concentrations and to complete minors and certificate programs in other areas. Each generally requires the completion of additional credits. A great variety of programs is available at UMass Amherst and the Five College system. Among these are the certificates in Journalism, International Relations, African Studies, Film Studies, Medieval Studies and Interpreting Studies, as well as the minor in Modern European Studies.
The minor in French and Francophone Studies requires a minimum of 15 credits. French 240 (with a grade of B+ or better) or French 250 may count for 3 credits towards the minor. A minimum of 12 credits must be earned at the 300 level or above. These must include French 371 and 473 (Advanced Grammar and Composition I and II), and at least two 300-level courses in literature or culture. Some credits from study-abroad programs or other institutions may be applicable.
French and Francophone Studies can open the door to a wide variety of career opportunities. The Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie, an organization of 80 member states, estimates that French is the fifth most widely used language in the world, with speakers spread over five continents. It is the third most important business language (after English and Chinese) and the fourth most common language on the internet. Moreover, it is the second most important language in international organizations, serving as an official working language in the United Nations, the European Union, NATO, the World Trade Organization, the World Health Organization, the International Olympic Committee, and in dozens of other international political, business and cultural organizations across Europe, Africa and the Americas. France, with the sixth largest economy in the world, serves as the primary driver of economic opportunity across the francophone world.
The French and Francophone Studies program offers students the opportunity to undertake advanced work in a humanistic discipline and to enhance their global learning competencies through knowledge of the broad French and francophone intellectual traditions, including language and linguistics, literature, history, culture, philosophy and theory. The program is designed to offer a rigorous educational experience focused on critical thinking and analysis not only to students intending to pursue an advanced degree in the field, but also to those interested in careers in fields in which expertise in French is directly relevant or a valuable complement: government and public service, communications and journalism, research, public health, the hospitality industry, fashion, business and international relations, translation and interpretation, as well as high-school and community-college teaching. Students are encouraged to consult the Career Services office to pursue internship possibilities during their course of study and to prepare for a career beyond UMass. We also strongly encourage students to continue enhancing their French language and cultural skills after graduation by participating in the Teaching Assistant Program in France (TAPIF), a program in which we have an excellent record of placing students.
For information on pursuing honors opportunities within the French and Francophone Studies major, contact the program's honors coordinator, Prof. Philippe Baillargeon.
All prospective majors must make an appointment to see the French Undergraduate Advisor. Majors must secure the advisor's signature of approval when registering for courses.
It is the student's responsibility to check with the French Undergraduate Advisor in advance of the last semester of the senior year in order to be sure that all program requirements for graduation have been fulfilled.
Courses taken at UMass Amherst or elsewhere on a pass/fail basis are not acceptable for major credit.
At least 12 of the 36 credits required for the major must be taken on the University of Massachusetts' Amherst campus.

The Mad Caddies talents reach far beyond the boundaries of ska and punk, enabling them to throw a musical curve ball into the mix without notice. Reggae, dixie, jazz, surf, rockabilly, country and swing are all styles in which the group is well versed and aren't afraid to inject into their unique brand of rock. The members of the Mad Caddies are as diverse as the music they perform but their most notable member is lead vocalist Chuck. Despite his penchant for booze and all things smokable, Chucks amazing voice prevails and his crooning could make even Morrissey blush.
The band has toured the U.S., Europe, Canada, Australia and Japan countless times, including stints on Warped Tours and headlining both the Euro and American Fat Tours of 2000. With 6 studio albums and 1 live record already to their credit the MAD CADDIES realized it was high time to compile a list of favorites, which is exactly what they did with Consentual Selections. Think about it, the lifestyle of the Mad Caddies consists of travelling around the world, making port in unfamiliar towns, causing trouble, imbibing spirits and random pillaging.
Over the course of their career the MAD CADDIES have crafted an exclusive genre of music, separating them from the masses of carbon copy bands. Combining elements of punk, ska, roots reggae, country and even Dixeland jazz, the MAD CADDIES music stands alone as truly exceptional. Guided by polished vocals, their songs echo an ethos of fun-loving laid back living. The lively and sometimes jovial nature of their music paired with the band members remarkable musicianship and endearing stage manner, has helped to amass a thriving and loyal fan base.

Big Idea details
Unit 3, AOS 2
|Sometimes the immune system is "misdirected" and the immune response itself causes symptoms/disease
|What you intend the students to learn about this idea.
|The distinction between diseases caused by a functioning immune system that is directed towards non-pathogens, and a deficient immune system that is unable to satisfactorily deal with pathogens
Allergies are a response to substances (allergens) that are incorrectly recognised as harmful by the immune system and this response is the cause of allergy symptoms
Some allergies can be life-threatening – the mechanism is the same as for less serious allergies but the response is so abrupt that it can be fatal
Autoimmune diseases are a result of the immune system responding to the organisms own cells - the immune system is the source of the disease
|Why it is important for students to know this.
|Allergies are very common and relevant to students (they may have experienced them, or have friends who do)
Anaphylactic shock can be fatal – learning about triggers, responses and treatment may equip students to help someone at some stage and also to minimise any tendencies to trivialise others' allergies
Provides an opportunity for students to revisit their understanding of the immune system and create new links between concepts
|What else you know about this idea (that you do not intend students to know yet).
|Deficiencies of the immune system – such as HIV-Aids
The known factors that can contribute to someone having allergies or autoimmune diseases
|Knowledge about students' thinking
/difficulties connected with teaching this idea.
|Differences in mechanisms between a an immune response to a pathogen, an allergic reaction, and an auto-immune response
The mechanism of an allergic response
The mechanism of an autoimmune response
|Teaching procedures
(and particular reasons for using these to engage with this idea).
|Investigative tasks (Group work) common allergic response (Group task)
Provide a number of common scenarios involving allergies and autoimmune diseases (eg student with severe allergy to nuts who goes into anaphylactic shock at school; friend who goes on school excursion and has to go home due to severe hayfever; student with Type I Diabetes Mellitus, another with Juvenile RA). Students to list the symptoms of the allergy in the various cases and investigate the cells/tissues involved, the mechanism of the response. Create poster/MM presentation/Role play/Concept map/Physical models to communicate findings. (Purpose: to link ideas, identify misunderstanding about immune systems; work collaboratively; make topic relevant)
Compare and Contrast / Similarities and Differences
Examine immune response to a pathogen, an allergen, and own cells by comparing/contrasting (Purpose: to consolidate understandings; link with knowledge of immune responses to pathogens)
Sequencing activities
Using props (eg colourful large cards, pictures) to create a flow chart for the different mechanisms (To differentiate between the different responses & consolidate understandings; using colour, kinaesthetic tasks to encourage long-term memory)
|Specific ways of ascertaining students' understanding or confusion around this idea
(include likely range of responses).
|"Who was to be a Millionaire" game show with questions (students teams pose questions from notes; contestants can use lifelines; contestants from teams change regularly)
Concept mapping, particularly of mechanisms, to summarise key understandings
"What if?" questions – applying understandings to novel circumstances
Present and explain group investigative tasks for peer appraisal

A new sculpture from artist James Hopkins plays with perspective to reveal different numerical forms depending on the viewer's point of, er, view
123 has just been installed outside the Florentinum development in Prague. The two and a half metre tall stainless steel sculpture transforms into either a 1, a 2 or a 3 depending on where the viewer is standing.
This concept video explains more
Much of Hopkins' work (see here) plays with perspective and tricks of the eye. Or, as
Richard Birkett of the Artists Space in New York puts it, "His highly focused practice has consistently addressed the perceptual aspects of the relationship between artwork and viewer. Producing objects, installations and public works that in their level of fabrication approximate processes of high-end mass production, Hopkins fuses the surface logic of the commodity with that of a fairground mise-en-scene. Arrangements of elements are carefully constructed to create slippages in perception, wherein the viewer's confidence in what is seen shifts as their physical location in relation to the work changes. This "trickery" is employed in a manner that reflects on philosophical and psychological traditions related to the connectivity between vision, language and thought." Quite.
