An inventory of the acute and late reactions to radiotherapy in the treatment of Hodgkin's disease was done. Some of these reactions are trivial and others may be extremely serious and debilitating, varying with the part of the body irradiated. Most of the acute reactions are transient, as are most of the subacute ones. A few of the late reactions are permanent and only a very small number are debilitating. For the most part, the treatment of acute and subacute reactions is symptomatic, and the treatment of late reactions is almost nonexistent, which points up the necessity for extreme care in the delivery of curative radiotherapy. Above all, understanding that the great part of the reactions will disappear and are of little consequence can be most reassuring to the patient and his attending physicians.

How to Use Cupcake Liners
Learn how easy it is to use a cupcake liner. Step-by-step instructions on how to choose and use cupcake liners.
1Choose a cupcake liner that will match the theme, color and décor of your party or event. It is extremely important to choose cupcake liners that will match the rest of your party décor. You do not want your cupcakes sticking out like a sore thumb, you want them to stick out like a 10 carat diamond ring...nice! There are many stores that have quality cupcake liners in almost any color and design imaginable. If you are not cooking cupcakes for any special event, you don't need to worry about the color or design of the wrapper, unless you just feel like being creative.
2Order a couple extra cupcake liners than what you expect to use. You never know what may happen during the cupcake cooking process, so you will want to make sure that you order a couple extra cupcake liners in case a mishap happens and you have to toss a batch of cupcakes. If you run out of cupcake liners while cooking your cupcakes, you will either have to a) drive to the store, hope they still have the same ones, and purchase more cupcake liners, b) order more from the online store you purchased them from and hope they have an overnight shipping option, c) make less cupcakes than what you planned to make.
3Place the cupcake liners in the cupcake pan. You will need to place a liner in each indentation or "cup" in the cupcake pans before you pour the batter into the pan.
4Pour the cupcake batter into the cupcake pan. Depending on how you will decorate your cupcakes, you will need to fill each cupcake liner with batter. If you want a crown on your cupcake (or for your cupcake to look more like a mushroom) you will need to fill the cupcake liner three-quarters of the way. If you do not want a crown and need a flat or sunken surface for your decorating needs, you should not fill the cupcake liner more than halfway.
5Now you are ready to bake your cupcakes.
Community Q&A
How do you make the liners stay in the pan?wikiHow ContributorYou put the liners in the pan and the cupcake batter will hold the liner in place.
Unanswered Questions
Can you use cupcake papers in a square pan to cook?
Why do my cupcakes burn when I use liners?
If I buy the colorful cupcake liners and they look bad after baking, do I need to bake the cupcakes in a different liner and them move them to the pretty one?
Ask a Question
If this question (or a similar one) is answered twice in this section, please click here to let us know.
- Spray some non-stick cooking spray in the liners before filling with batter. This will help the cupcakes not stick to the liners when they are ready to peel and eat!
- If you fill the cupcake liners too high with batter, they will overflow in the oven and cause a big mess.

Payday lenders and other high cost short term lenders will be the subject of an in-depth thematic review into the way they collect debts and manage borrowers in arrears and forbearance, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) announced today.
The review will be one of the very first actions the FCA takes as regulator of consumer credit, which begins on 1 April 2014, and reinforces its commitment to protecting consumers – one of its statutory objectives. It is just one part of FCA's comprehensive and forward looking agenda for tackling poor practice in the high cost short term loan market.
Martin Wheatley, FCA chief executive, said:
"Our new rules mean that anybody taking out a payday loan will be treated much better than before. But that's just part of the story; one in three loans go unpaid or are repaid late so we will be looking specifically at how firms treat customers struggling with repayments.
"These are often the people that struggle to make ends meet day to day, so we would expect them to be treated with sensitivity, yet some of the practices we have seen don't do this.
"There will be no place in an FCA-regulated consumer credit market for payday lenders that only care about making a fast buck."
This area is a priority because six out of ten complaints to the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) are about how debts are collected, and more than a third of all payday loans are repaid late or not at all - that equates to around three and half million loans each year. The new FCA rules should reduce that number, but for those that do fail to make repayments and are keen to get their finances back on track, there will now be a discussion about the different options available rather than piling on more pressure or simply calling in the debt collectors.
The review will look at how high-cost short term lenders treat their customers when they are in difficulty. This will include how they communicate, how they propose to help people regain control of their debt, and how sympathetic they are to each borrower's individual situation. The FCA will also take a close look at the culture of each firm to see whether the focus is truly on the customer – as it should be - or simply oriented towards profit.
Beyond this review, as part of its regulation of the high cost short term lending sector, from 1 April 2014 the FCA will also:
The FCA's new rules for payday lenders, confirmed in February, will mean the sector has to carry out proper affordability checks on borrowers before lending. They will also limit to two the number of times a loan can be rolled-over, and the number of times a continuous payment authority can be used to dip into a borrowers account to seek repayment.
Around 50,000 consumer credit firms are expected to come under the FCA's remit on 1 April, of which around 200 will be payday lenders. These companies will initially have an interim permission but will have to seek full FCA authorisation to continue doing credit business longer term.
Payday lenders will be one of the groups that have to seek full FCA authorisation first and it is expected that a quarter will decide that they cannot meet the FCA's higher consumer protection standards and leave the market. Most of these firms will be the ones that cause the worst consumer detriment.

kay* asks: i've been wanting to invest in a pair of classic black pumps for the longest time and think i'm going to do so...i was thinking jimmy choo or louboutin - what's your pick for the best classic black pump (any designer..but not a round toe please)? would love to get your opinion!
Hi Kay*! I love this question because I am obsessed with black pumps. I seriously can not stop buying them, although I should stop because I think I'm becoming quite boring. Hopefully the Manolos I just bought will help bring color inspiration to my shoe wardrobe!
My picks for you!
I wasn't sure how high of a heel you were looking for so I just chose shoes that I would wear but most are in the 3.5 to 4 inch range.
Top Row:
Jimmy Choo is hands down my favorite shoe designer. Their shoes never vary in size, when I'm ordering online, I always know that a size 5 will fit. All of my pumps by Jimmy Choo are really comfortable and I even wear them out shopping! The leather they use is really soft and basically molds to your feet.
You can go with the classic ones on the left which I think look great at the office but are also pretty enough to wear out to dinner. I'm a big fan of his cut out pumps like the ones on the right because I love that when they peak out of my dress trousers, you can see the bit of design at my toes.
Second Row:
Pigalle $585
Platform $700
Size wise, Louboutins vary within a 1/2 size for me so I've only ever bought them at the store because I need to make sure that they fit. Comfort wise, they are not the most comfortable because of that factor I mentioned above. The sexiness comes from the arch of the shoe which surely make your feet look hot but it's not a natural way to arch your feet for 8 hours a day. Also, Louboutins always give you toe cleavage which I adore, but I know some people hate.
Studded Heel $495
Stud Plate $595
Cole Haan
Carma $295
Roma $565
Gucci always has a brilliant twist on their pumps like the bamboo detail on the heel of these shoes. Love the platform front too, it makes wearing that high of a heel just a little bit easier. One thing to watch, Gucci sizing is a bit wacky. Sometimes the fit is right, but then it's too tight in the toes, so I always recommend trying them on in person or if ordering online order your size and the half size up, just in case.
A great trick that works for me when the toe part is a bit too small is I stuff it with gym socks for a few days and the leather will loosen up and you'll be able to get your foot in comfortably.
One thing that I do to almost all my designer shoes is to resole them after a few wears. I don't know why but I like to wear the original soles for a little bit and then take them in to get resoled. But make sure to do it while they are relatively new! Don't wait until the soles are completely weared out or else they might not be able to do it. I take almost all my shoes to Nordstrom, even if I don't buy them there. They just do a great job and are relatively fast. If you don't live near a Nordstrom, I'm sure you could find any shoe repair store near you to do it. The cost is usually less than $20 and worth every penny.
Kay*, I hope this helps you and come back to let me know what shoes you end up getting!

2016 Day of Service and Remembrance. Click on the title for more information.
Beginning in 2002, family members and friends who lost loved ones in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks began to seek tributes to honor the sacrifice of those who were lost and pay homage to those who rose to service in response to the tragedy. Family members and support groups wanted to provide a productive and respectful way to honor those who perished and rekindle the spirit of unity and compassion that swept our nation. Since that time, citizens across the nation have participated in service and remembrance activities on the 9/11 anniversary. Many service projects through the years have met a great need in our community.
This year in honor and remembrance of the 15th Anniversary of September 11th, First Responders across North Carolina will be honored and celebrated during the week of September 5th – September 11th, 2016. Harnett County RSVP is asking local communities to honor First Responders at their local Fire, Rescue, and Police Departments.
Ways to show your appreciation may be as elaborate as preparing a meal and feeding the First Responders at one of their meetings or as simple as baking homemade goodies and taking them to the station or office. Last year many churches invited their First Responders to Sunday service and honored them in the service and afterwards with a meal. Making "thank you" cards and posters is a good way to show these dedicated men and women how important what they do is to Harnett County and your community. Citizens young and old can find a way to say "thank you"!
We would like to know how you will show your appreciation, so please give us a call at (910)893-7579 and let us know how you will honor your First Responders. This is very helpful for us in documenting all the events in the county. Be sure to take pictures and submit articles to your local media to highlight your efforts and your First Responders.
Thanking you in advance for joining us to remember… to serve…and to honor!

Trial underway for man accused of giving cheese heroin to girl who died of overdose
Testimony began this morning in the trial of Victor Tellez.
He is accused of giving cheese heroin to 16-year-old Ana Rojas. He is charged with delivery of a controlled substance to a child that resulted in a death. Prosecutors are asking that jurors find that heroin was a deadly weapon.
Ana was found unconscious Sept. 2, 2007 at an apartment in the 1800 block of Pioneer Drive in Irving. She spent the night at an apartment of friend after partying elsewhere.
In opening statements, Dallas County prosecutor Danielle Uher said that Tellez, the brother of her friend, gave her the drug when she returned from the party. Tellez is now 21.
Defense attorny Tim Menchu did not make and opening statement. But could do so before he presents his case to jurors.
Drug dealers have in recent years marketed Mexican black tar heroin and ground up cold medicine as cheese, with a special emphasis on creating younger users – some still in elementary school.
It has claimed the lives of at least 32 people 18 or younger in Dallas County since 2005.
Toxicology tests also found Ana, a 10th grad charter school stduent, had used marijuana and Xanax.
Throughout the testimony so far today, Tellez has sat with his shoulders hunched and mostly looking down. He has turned, at times, to look at a TV screen displaying video or photos to jurors.
Another man, Michael Puente, now 20, has pleaded guilty for his role and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. He pled guilty to displaying a deadly weapon, which in this case was heroin, according to court records.

Huntsville Police Announce Holiday Shopping Details
Huntsville, Alabama (November 20, 2007) Shoppers in Huntsville this holiday season can expect to see more Huntsville Police Officers in major malls in addition to large and smaller shopping centers. The increased patrols will begin Friday, November 23, 2007 and run through Sunday, December 31, 2007. Police Chief Henry Reyes said the goals for the marked Patrol Units and unmarked vehicle details are to prevent any criminal activity targeted at the increased number of holiday shoppers. Police will also monitor parking lots with the Department's Bike Units for any suspicious individuals or activities.
Reyes said criminals look for the easiest opportunity when deciding to commit a crime. Shoppers, particularly women, can be vulnerable to such crimes as theft, robbery and assaults, and that is why we are taking these progressive and proactive measures to ensure the safety of our families and shoppers. Huntsville Police suggest the following crime prevention tips and recommendations to make shopping as safe an experience as possible.
· Be alert and aware of your surroundings at all times. Knowing who and what is around you can help you avoid being surprised. It also allows you time to react if something does appear suspicious.
· Display confidence. Criminals choose the victim who looks like the easiest target. That choice is partially based on their perception about your abilities to react to an attack. If you walk with a purpose, scan your surroundings, and make casual eye contact with others, you are displaying confidence.
· Trust your instincts. If you have an intuitive feeling something is wrong or suspicious, react immediately and take action to reduce your risk of becoming a victim.
· Carry only what you need. Extra cash, credit cards, checks, jewelry and other items should be left at home --- not in your vehicle. If you carry a purse, keep it in front and close to your body. Men should keep their wallets out of back pockets where they are easily stolen. Carry wallets in your front pocket.
· Don't be overburdened with packages. Carrying several shopping bags makes you look vulnerable. If a store cannot hold your merchandise until you finish shopping, place all purchases in the trunk of you car.
· Shop with others. The chance of being victimized drop dramatically when you are with a companion.
· Be prepared. Have your keys in hand when walking to your vehicle and use the alarm or alert button to signal something is wrong.
· Plan ahead. Choose areas to park where lighting is good and activity is high. Valuables in your car should be kept out of view. Be sure to lock your car and look in the back seat before getting in. Observe anyone sitting in a parked vehicle next to yours. Don't park next to dumpsters or high bushes that can conceal you from observation. Most auto burglaries occur when cars are unlocked.
· Finally, if you feel uncomfortable walking to your vehicle, most malls will provide a security escort upon request.

WRENCHERS BODY PRODUCTS, a relatively new company that specializes in natural skin care for workplace conditions, has unveiled Hands Maid, an "eco-conscious natural skin cleanser" that cuts through grease, grime and oil without the use of abrasives.
Hands Maid does not contain pumice, which many other cleansers on the market currently contain.
"When you use a product with pumice you're basically washing your hands with ground rock and silicate glass," said Edward Buscis of Wrenchers. "We have created a heavy-duty hand and skin cleanser that uses the cleaning power of the soybean along with the scrubbing and exfoliating power of the walnut shell."
The company also offers a dry skin option, Babied Hands.

"Religion and the South" Lecture Series in Montreat, NC, July 23-27
Decatur, GA.— Pulitzer Prize winner Dan Carter is the first speaker in a series of five lectures, "Religion and the South," July 23-27, in the chapel at Montreat College. The lectures will be presented from 2:30-3:30 p.m. each day. Admission is free and open to the public. Carter is the Education Foundation Professor of History at the University of South Carolina. He has been the Pitt Professor in American History at Cambridge University and has appeared frequently on NPR and PBS. Marcia Riggs, the J. Erskine Love Professor of Christian Ethics, and Erskine Clarke, professor of American religious history, will also present lectures, along with Sam Hill and Mary McClintock Fulkerson. Hill, considered the "dean" of religion in the South studies, is the author of numerous books and is the editor of the new Encyclopedia of Religion and the South. Fulkerson is associate professor of theology at Duke University. Her recent work includes studies of Appalachian women and religion. Clarke, author of the highly acclaimed book Dwelling Place: A Plantation Epic, is the organizer of the lectures series, the inaugural event in programming developed by Columbia's faculty and the Center for Lifelong Learning as a result of the seminary's involvement with the Montreat Historical Collections. A significant portion of the collections, including personal papers and church records, is being transferred to the seminary as a result of the closing of the Presbyterian Historical Society's location in Montreat. Holdings transferred to Columbia include archival, library, and museum materials of Presbyterian history and the worldwide Reformed tradition. The collection includes a large manuscript division, a library of bound books, and material artifacts of 500 years of Reformed history. Columbia Theological Seminary, located in Decatur, Georgia, was established in 1828 and is one of 10 theological institutions of the Presbyterian Church (USA).

Inyo National Forest Activity Guides:
Inyo National Forest Trails:
Inyo National Forest
Inyo National Forest Overview
A flock of phalaropes takes flight against the rising sun. An ancient bristlecone pine waves a gnarled arm into the winter sky. A black storm dumps icy droplets on the Palisade Glacier. If you want wilderness amidst 14,000-foot peaks, birding at the endangered sanctuary of Mono Lake, studying the oldest life high in the White Mountains, watching wild trout running in mountain and desert streams, you will find it, all within an hour of the Mammoth Lakes-Bishop area at Inyo National Forest.
Inyo extends 165 miles along the California and Nevada border. It totals a huge two million acres. It covers the transition zone between the eastern, dry side of the Sierra Nevadas and the western edge of the Great Basin. Inyo is set with pristine lakes, fragile meadows, winding streams, rugged peaks, and sagebrush expanses. Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the continental United States, is its crowning landmark.
This is John Muir country. In fact, one of the most spectacular wilderness areas in the forest is named after him. The John Muir Wilderness is a region of snow-capped mountains and alpine lakes. Its brother wilderness area, the Ansel Adams, is set in the rugged high country east of the Sierra crest. The North, Middle, and lower South Forks of the San Joaquin River rampage through deep granite-walled gorges amidst spectacular alpine scenery.
Inyo is one of California's most popular national forests. And rightly so. Go see for yourselffor all its fame, there is still plenty of wide open space.
Hike to the Ediza Lake
Choosing a best hike in Inyo is impossible. But if we had to pick a favorite, the tramp to Ediza Lake, high in the Ansel Adams Wilderness, would be it. Picture this: A solid stone wall circles the west side of Ediza Lake. The Minarets' jagged spikes form the south rampart. A band of snow still surviving the August sun stretches around to Banner Peak at the opposite end. This peak and its companion Mt. Ritter tower over the outcropping. Between the rocky mounds, vibrant green meadows dotted with a handful of evergreens roll down to the shore. Sound good? Well there's plenty more where that came from.

Take the Long Path to Mount Whitney
At 14,496 feet, Mount Whitney is the highest peak in the lower 48. The 11-mile Mount Whitney trail leads to the top, and is the most frequently walked peak-climb in the Sierra Nevada, if not in the United States. Fine and good for those with little time and who don't mind sharing the trail with hundreds of other hikers. But if you want to avoid the hordes, consider taking a longer backcountry route. The 42-mile backpacking route leads you through legendary Sierra Wilderness, including the John Muir Wilderness and one of the most exalted portions of the Pacific Crest Trail.
Short or long route, make sure you're acclimated before reaching for the top. Otherwise you're sure to get a mighty headache, severe shortness of breath, and possibly worse.

Visit the Bristlecone Pine Forest
Bristlecone pines are the oldest known living trees anywhere. In Inyo, you'll find a forest of the oldest of the old in the White Mountains, which are east of the Sierra Nevada. Some of these bristlecones are more than 4,000 years old, making whippersnappers out of the oldest giant sequoia, which can be a juvenile 2,500 years old. As centuries pass, the elements sculpt a bristlecone into astonishingly beautiful shapes and forms. While most of its wood is dead, growth barely continues through a thin ribbon of bark. When all life finally ceases, the snags stand like elegant ghosts for a thousand years or more. Dead wood erodes rather than decays.
More on the ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest
Fish Ellery Lake
You'll be amazed at this Yosemite-like location. Right outside the park boundary, Ellery Lake offers spectacular deep-blue waters set in rock in the 9,500-foot range. Unlike Yosemite, however, Ellery Lake actually offers good fishing. Ellery is annually stocked with 17,000 rainbow trout in the 10- to 12-inch class. You'll find the lake offers a fair number of rainbow and brook trout. Fishing along the shore is decent, but you can find really choice fishing by boating to the far southwest side of the lake.

Bike Mono Lake
Mono Lake is an immense, saltwater lake set high in the Great Basin portion of Inyo. The lake drains seven streams that wash down from the eastern slope of the Sierra; with no outlet to the sea, Mono Lake is intensely salty and alkaline. The surrounding landscape is volcanic, displaying characteristic black tufa stone, worn down cinder cones, and craters. The life in and around the lake is richly varied. Millions of birds stop over on their way up and down the Pacific flyway to feast on the lake's brine shrimp. It all adds up to a fascinating place for a bike tour on the gravel roads around the lake. Make the town of Lee Vining your basecamp, and then it's off and away.

Cross-Country Ski the Rock Creek Area
This canyon has long been considered the finest in the range for backcountry skiing. The 20-mile route is best for intermediate to advanced levels. Rock Creek Area boasts Treasure Lakes, at the base of Mt. Dade and Bear Creek Spire, which is arguably the finest spring base camp location in the Sierra. The route is blue diamond, full of climbs and descents. Expect wide glaciers, narrow basins, and a route lined with mountain peaks and excellent camp sites.

Faceoff: 4 p.m. at Scottrade Center
TV/Radio: CSNCA; 92.1, 98.5, 102.1
Blues update: G Jaroslav Halak is expected to get the start against San Jose. ... Talk in St. Louis has veteran forward Andy McDonald ready to return to action Sunday after missing all but three games this season with a concussion. "I feel really good," he told reporters. "I've been clear on the ice for a while now, and I'm really close."
Sharks update: Moribund just a month ago, the San Jose power play has climbed back to its usual status among the NHL's elite. Over the past five games, the Sharks are 8 for 16 with the man advantage and now have a 20.4 percent success rate for the season -- fourth best in the NHL. Much of the credit goes to the second unit consisting of Ryane Clowe, Jamie McGinn, Michal Handzus, Brent Burns and Justin Braun. "The second unit is really pushing the first unit right now," coach Todd McLellan said. "They're able to go out and score goals, and we feel real comfortable either starting them or playing them throughout the power play."
Blues injuries: C Jason Arnott (shoulder), RW Alexander Steen (concussion), D Kent Huskins (ankle), LW Matt D'Agostini (head) are out.
Sharks injuries: RW Marty Havlat (hamstring), D Jason Demers (lower body) and RW Tommy Wingels (upper body) are out.

Just install the one you want , that will overwrite it.
Beat ya Dark
then guys, which rev should i use to overwrite which is suitable for my situation right now.
thank you.
Personally I'm only using 21 right now. I have it installed from 249-253 using different bases. I haven't encountered any problems yet. But I don't know what you are into with your Wii and certain revs work better for certain things. Or you can install multiple revs into different slots.
so your saying that any rev will make my USB loader GX 2.0 load up my HD?

Kosmos Outlines DOJ Declination Letter
Kosmos Energy Ltd. was informed by the Justice Department in a letter on May 12, 2010, that the agency had declined to take any bribery enforcement action for the company's conduct in Ghana, according to a securities filing.
Kosmos, majority-owned by private equity titans Warburg Pincus LLC and The Blackstone Group LP, said Monday in an S-1 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that it had disclosed in January 2009 a possible violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act by Kosmos and its partners, the EO Group, in securing oil contracts at the Jubilee oilfield in Ghana.
Kosmos said in the filing it cooperated fully with a Justice Department investigation and retained outside counsel to do an internal probe, which found "no basis for such allegations."
The filing said Kosmos received a letter of declination from Justice, and EO Group and its principals were told on June 2, 2010, by the agency that it closed the inquiry into the matter.
The Justice Department, via email, declined to comment.
One of the contractors in the Jubilee project, Modec Inc., was the source of FCPA concerns in January, though it said days later its internal investigation found no violations of the 1977 law, which bans bribery of foreign officials for business purposes.
Monday's filing by Kosmos says Modec is still being "investigated by its legal advisors, the Jubilee Unit partners and the syndicate of international banks" who had committed to refinance the Jubilee facility's construction costs.
A spokeswoman from Modec did not respond to a request for comment.
"While we had no prior knowledge of the matters under investigation, should the DOJ launch a formal investigation into these matters, there can be no assurance that the Jubilee Unit partners, including us, would not be subject to enforcement actions which may have a material adverse affect on our business," Kosmos said.

Completed thesis projects may be found here
Thesis Guide
Students choosing the Thesis option are required to write a thesis that will demonstrate familiarity and competency with basic scientific methodology. The thesis should document the student's ability to conceive, implement, analyze, and report on his/her original individual or collaborative research.
Details about the appropriate format of the final Thesis document can be found in the MES Program Thesis Preparation Guidelines:
and in the Graduate School Thesis Manual:
General information about the Thesis option may be found below and in the MES Student Handbook.
Research Advisory Committee
As soon as the student has elected the thesis option and selected an area of research interest, he/she will select a Research Advisor. The Research Advisor may be, but is not required to be, the same person as the Academic Advisor. The Research Advisor, in consultation with the student, will select a Research Advisory Committee. The function of the Research Advisory Committee is to direct and monitor the student's research program and to assume responsibility for oversight of the student's progress toward the degree. Upon selection and approval of the Research Advisory Committee, the duties of the student's Academic Advisor are completed.
The Research Advisory Committee is composed of at least four (4) members, with the Research Advisor as the chair. The composition of the Committee is as follows: (1) three of the four members must be members of the Graduate Faculty, and; (2) one member must be from outside the student's area of concentration in the MES program. For example, a student concentrating in Biology may comprise a committee of three Biology faculty members and one Political Science faculty member.
Prior to the first meeting of the Research Advisory Committee, the student must present Committee members with a Program of Study with grades received in courses already completed. The Research Advisory Committee, after review of the student's Program of Study, may suggest further coursework deemed beneficial for completion of the research project. Throughout his/her research, the student will meet regularly with the Research Advisory Committee to discuss progress, problems, and additional work necessary to complete the research.
Thesis Proposal
Prior to beginning thesis work, a student must prepare a written Thesis Proposal in consultation with his/her Research Advisor and Research Advisory Committee. Typically, this proposal will be written one year prior to the completion of the thesis. The student will be expected to ensure that all resources necessary for his/her research and permission to use them have been obtained.
The Proposal should include a Plan of Research, which identifies hypotheses to be tested and describes the research approach to the problem. This Plan should show evidence of sound research methodology, creative integration of course material, and an understanding of the pertinent literature.
The Plan shall normally follow the outline listed below:
I. Project Title
II. Thesis Advisor
III. Abstract - Outline Specific Project Goals
IV. Project Narrative
A. Introduction
B. Detailed Project Description Explaining Goals
C. Significance
D. References / Works Cited
V. Project Time Table
VI. Expected Results/Outcomes
VII. Resources Required to Complete the Project
VIII. Approval Signatures
When the Research Advisor is satisfied with the student's preparation and the content of the Plan of Research, the student will present and defend the Thesis Proposal before the Research Committee. The student will be questioned on those methodologies and the background areas needed to complete successfully the proposed research. The Program Director must also review and approve the Proposal. Once the Research Advisory Committee and the Program Director have accepted the Proposal, the student must submit it, along with a signed Thesis Proposal Approval form (MES-6) to the MES Program Office. The Graduate Dean will then review the student's Thesis Proposal for approval.
Upon completion of the thesis, the Research Advisory Committee will review the student's work and determine if it is acceptable or in need of further research or revisions. Once the Research Advisory Committee has approved the thesis for defense, the student must submit the Thesis Defense Notification form (MES-8) to the MES Program Office.
One possible timeline for the Spring 2013 semester, for example, might be:
Before March 4th - provide the Thesis Committee with completed copies of the thesis for reviewBefore March 18th - confirm the day, time, and location of the Thesis Defense with the CommitteeBefore March 25th - provide the MES Program Office with the signed Defense Notification formBefore April 1st - provide the Thesis Committee with updated copies of the thesis, incorporating the Committee's suggestionsBefore April 8th - Oral Defense Day. Following the defense, take note of the Committee's final requirements and suggestionsBefore April 15th - Provide the Committee members with final copies of the thesis for their signature on the Title Page, and get the Committee members' signatures on the Certification of Successful Thesis Defense formApril 22nd Deadline - Submit the final version of the thesis online. The site for you to use to submit your thesis is http://
dissertations.umi.com/cofc/ Y ou'll want to check with the Graduate School Office to make sure you understand how to submit your thesis prior to going online (they'll be doing "thesis writing seminars" as well).
Oral Defense
Students electing the thesis option are required to pass a general oral examination directed primarily to the defense of the thesis. The defense begins with a formal presentation of approximately thirty (30) minutes in length, describing the research methods and results. The candidate's Research Advisory Committee and other attendees then conduct an oral examination to test the candidate's understanding of the area of research. Performance on this examination must receive the approval of the majority of the student's Research Advisory Committee before the student will be recommended for the MS degree. Upon completing the oral defense with the Committee's approval, the student must submit the signed Certification for Successful Thesis Defense form (MES-9) to the MES Program Office.
The MES Program Thesis Preparation Guidelines have been designed to aid you in finishing one of the most important documents you will write in your academic career. Your thesis must meet all the guidelines set forth in the Thesis Manual: A Guide for Graduate Students published by the Graduate School Office at the College of Charleston. Use the most current edition of this Graduate School manual which is available through the Graduate School Office and the MES Program Office. You should find the most current information concerning the requirements, dates, thesis preparation guidelines, etc. at the Graduate School.
Every effort has been made to ensure that the MES Program Thesis Preparation Guidelines conform to the Graduate School Manual. Should you find any discrepancies between the two documents, follow the guidelines in the Graduate School Manual and inform the MES Program Office of the difference.
The site for you to use to submit your thesis is http://dissertations.umi.com/cofc/. You should check with the Graduate School Office to make sure you understand how to submit your thesis prior to going online.
The submission of your master's thesis is the last step in the program leading to the award of your degree. Your manuscript is a scholarly statement of the results of a substantial period of research and preparation. It will be made available for public use in the MES office and online through ProQuest.
For these reasons, the Environmental Studies Program has established guidelines in the physical format of the manuscript in order to obtain a uniformly high quality product, in a permanent and readily reproducible form of presentation, and with consistency in the arrangement of the contents. The thesis must be a professionally finished work in format, style, spelling and appearance. The finished document reflects on both you and on the College. The physical format of the manuscript should be perfect. We would not expect you to settle for less; nor will we. Failure to follow these instructions will necessitate revising the submission until it meets the expected standards. It is preferred that a thesis be prepared, to the extent possible, in the format of the intended journal of publication, with minimal necessary revision prior to submission. However, any deviation from MES presentation requirements must be approved by the your committee and the Director of the MES Program. In no case will any deviation from the format of the Graduate School Manual be permitted.
Registering for Thesis Hours
Students may register for thesis credit hours only in the semester in which the thesis is to be defended. A THESIS PROPOSAL APPROVAL FORM (MES-6) MUST BE ON FILE IN THE MES PROGRAM OFFICE BEFORE THE STUDENT IS ALLOWED TO REGISTER FOR THESIS CREDIT HOURS. If the student is unable to complete the thesis in the semester in which he/she is registered, no grade of will be issued until the requirements are fulfilled. All work for completion of the course requirements should be submitted by the end of exams in the next major term (Fall or Spring).
When appropriate, preparatory research work leading to a thesis may be credited under enrollment in Independent Study (EVSS 693). Decisions about such enrollment rest with the student's Research Advisory Committee and the Program Director. A student who is in the process of completing a research or thesis project or is using library and laboratory facilities and consulting with MES faculty must maintain continuous enrollment in the program. Continuous enrollment can be maintained by enrollment in a minimum of one hour of Continuous Enrollment (EVSS 900) per semester.
Deadlines for Final Copy Submission
All theses must be submitted online by the date established by the Graduate School Office for each semester. Students are encouraged to use this date as a guideline to determine an appropriate schedule that will give ample time for their thesis defense and thesis revision. Use the Graduate School Manual when submitting your thesis online. Please contact Susan Hallatt if you encounter any problems or have any questions regarding submitting your thesis online.

I think it is in the xxdp help-file, or some other textfile in the xxdp
package. (but not on the floppy-distributions due to space restrictions)
From my memory: the filenames have following significance:
POONRL where:
P = processor as stated above
OO = option designator (MS = Memory, RK = RK05 ect.)
N = Program number (a-z) if there is more than 1 test for this option
R = Revision (a-z) (to run whatever there is on disk, use wildcard ?)
L = patchLevel (0-9) (to run whatever there is on disk, use wildcard ?)
Good luck,

JERUSALEM: Israel yesterday named two Hamas Islamists as leading suspects in the June 12 kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers, in the most concrete report yet of results after weeks of searches in the occupied West Bank.
An Israeli military spokeswoman confirmed reports that troops were seeking Marwan Kawasme and Amar Abu Aysha, militants in their 30s from the Hebron area of the occupied West Bank, both of whom have served time in Israeli prisons in the past.
Israel's Shin Bet Security Agency said in a statement both men had been wanted and at large since the kidnappings, adding that several other Palestinians suspected of involvement in the abductions were being questioned.
Aysha was jailed without trial under so-called administrative detention for six months in 2005, about the time his brother was killed by Israeli forces as he attempted to throw explosives at soldiers, Israeli security officials said.
Kawasme once served a 10-month prison term and trained for military action in the Hebron area, in addition to being involved with Hamas recruitment efforts there, the officials said.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the suspects were only part of the group behind the kidnapping.
After the teens disappeared June 12 while hitchhiking in the West Bank, the army launched a vast hunt for them focusing on the Hebron area, detaining hundreds of Palestinians.
There has been no claim of responsibility for their suspected abduction, which Israel has insisted was carried out by Hamas.
In remarks on Tuesday, Hamas chief Khaled Meshaal said "we do not have information about what happened."
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called anew on Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas to rescind a reconciliation deal he struck with Hamas in April.
The deal paved the way for the creation of a Hamas-backed Palestinian unity government.
More than 380 Palestinians, two-thirds of them Hamas members, have been arrested by the army in a fortnight of searches.
Troops have also killed five Palestinians and wounded dozens more during what is known as Operation Brother's Keeper.
GAZA: Some 40,000 public servants hired by Hamas went on strike in Gaza yesterday in a pay dispute that could test the resilience of a Palestinian government formed recently under the Islamist group's unity pact with President Mahmoud Abbas.
All government offices in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip were closed as a result of the one-day strike, but hospital emergency rooms remained open and police continued to patrol the streets.
The new government, based in the West Bank city of Ramallah, infuriated public workers on Hamas's payroll by saying it would vet them before paying out salaries — a process that could take months.
Earlier this month, Gaza's public sector union suspended protests that lasted nearly a week, saying it would resume its action if its members were not promptly paid.
Hamas hired the employees after seizing the Gaza Strip from forces loyal to the Western-backed Abbas in 2007, a year after winning a Palestinian election.
"This strike is a first step and an initial warning to the unity government," said Mohammed Seyam, the chairman of the Hamas-hired workers' union in the Gaza Strip.
"We want to be recognised as employees of the Palestinian Authority and merged into the main salary list. If there was no response from the unity government we will escalate our protests," he said.
Hamas-hired workers on strike are especially resentful because Abbas's Palestinian Authority in Ramallah has been paying its own 70,000-strong workforce in Gaza.
Hamas itself has struggled to pay its staff in recent months due partly to a continued rigid blockade imposed on Gaza by both Israel and Egypt — one of the reasons why the group decided to sign the accord with Abbas.
