North Carolina
I planned on typing up last week but the store was temporarily out of round toits. By the time they were back in stock, it was time for this week's version, so this will be a biweekly update instead.
9 Star Realms (with Star Realms: Colony Wars) x5
Star Realms continues to be popular, though 5 plays over 2 weeks is a bit of a down tick, partly because we were playing it almost exclusively while my wife was so busy that I actively started seeking a bit more variety in my gaming diet. A couple of notable moments though, one game I was on the back foot, having a good economy but lacking some punch. Jenny had the punch but it was from more middle range ships. She was definitely winning, despite a bit of a rainbow deck, but the killer punch came when I buy some good stuff but then a late turn up is the Emperor's Dreadnaught. This costs 8 so out of her range normally, but she had a ship that could scrap for cash and in addition she had a humble Star Barge, that she had bought for its cash early on, but its Imperial allegiance meant she could bring the Dreadnaught into play immediately and the ensuing wreckage was the end of me.
The other game was my first turn Repair Bot. Now we don't much care for the Repair Bot as most of the time it seems it comes to your hand when you don't have a discard pile, a needed component in order to use its deck thinning ability. But this little Repair Bot hit 3 times in a row, including once after I got it in my first 5 cards through, but Jenny made me discard a card. I like to think this piece of good fortune was pivotal in my eventual victory. The base that put a big Blob ship on top of my deck helped a little too.
7 Friday
I got the chance for a solo game and thought I was go visit Robinson in Friday. On Level 2, my pirates were 8/30 and the defeat the remaining hazards one.
I stripped out lots of chaff in the first pass but won a couple and built from there, a couple of destroys finding use to get rid of aging cards. I fire through pretty well, picking up 2 4 point weapons and a couple of doubles. And I deliberately choose the tougher hazards in the main part knowing that I will face what remains at the end. And in the end, that pirate is not so tough: 6 cards to get 18 costs a few life to get there but it is pretty easy. And actually the 8 cards have enough extra card draws that it only takes a couple of life more to defeat the other pirate. And it ends up being about my best score so far.
Fighting 46, aging cards -10
Pirates +30
Life points 9x5=45
Hazards left 5x3 = 15
I think I am up for Level 3.
8 Animal Upon Animal
There were sounds of Very Annoyed Child coming from the office: my son was having Trouble with his video game and got quite upset over it. I got him to take a break and after he had cooled off a bit, I got him to play something with me, hitting upon Animal Upon Animal. Just me and him, one set of animals each, we added a little house rule that the croc symbol on the die just meant add 1 rather than extend the structure. And it was a fun couple of games where he proved his steady hand. After we both lose after knocking down late game, he proves himself with a precarious placement without knocking it down to take the overall victory. And then we messed around piling up all the animals.
Board games are therapy.
6 Shadowfist (using Shadowfist: Year of the Dragon) x2
At my wife's suggestion, I also taught that same son the kung fu action card game Shadowfist. It has been officially A While since I last played. But it was all there lurking in my sub-conscious, I'd keep looking stuff up but it was always just what I thought it was. I let him pick his faction and he picked the plucky Dragons while I took Architects of the Flesh (both using Year of the Dragon decks), first blood went to him but I built up steadily and cleared the way with a neutron bomb. CHAR brought me back into it but his Netherworld Vet (boosted by my Arcanowave edge) was able to deal with CHAR, though then nerve gas dealt with him. I thought I had it when my scientist with a robot arm was joined by a plasma trooper also similarly limbed but Q's final brawl plus sacrifices did just enough to save his Feng Shui site, then in response: Little Jim. And that was game over.
(My wife thought I was mean to take the Architects but I think the lad held his own pretty well, with some coaching).
7 Draco Magi (with Draco Magi: Expansion 1)
My record at this game is impressive: 0-14. This 14th loss was so so close though.
I got a combat boost from the Hydra and that was enough to make me win both blue gems on offer while the Hydra himself lost out after a Deadly Strike. So I was ahead but in round 2 J pushed the shadow dragon on me and thwarted my efforts to get it out of the way. So she won a second yellow gem and she let me win the plains battle with no gem at all. The final one of the 3 was a close thing, I lost 2 out of 3 then I thought I was done when she pulled one more bite out and I just had magic. But it was my battle dragon, so it took the hit and the magic meant I could even up the battle. A tie.
Round 3 had 2 green gems and a red - so no one could just win with 3, it was first to 4. But I thought I had pulled something off when I flipped the battle to reveal a blue - I just needed to win that one. I had my wounded battle dragon and the elder scales so good fighting power, though J had a Rainbow and a Black dragon. We resolved the other 2 first anyway, I pulled off the win in the first, getting a green and J won the lightly defended red gem. But J had a quadruple bite with bind to open the battle, so no escape and I was down to the single dragon. My counterattack drained her hand but she had multiples of her special cards - I pulled her deadly strike with an ambush but she followed up with Ancient Magic - I had magic in hand to counter one but not the other and that was game.
One day, dragons, one day!
8 La Città
In my pile of dusty games, La Città has to be one of the dustiest, regularly high on my "days unplayed" list when I peek at that section of the Friendless stats page. Our last game was in December 2008! But it wasn't even my suggestion to play it, Jenny wanted to play "that city game where you steal people from your neighbors". She calls it Cary, which is a Research Triangle area based joke.
It turned out to be a bit of a relearning game, with some rules mistakes. I initially missed that you get a free citizen with a market which meant we were both struggling to grow. But we soon picked up the pace. Jenny aggressively moved her services-heavy city close to mine and meanwhile developed her farming town, surrounded by grain and not much else. I struggled to hold her off from one side while I developed my other - closer to her farming town so I nabbed a few citizens on that side. I also added a 3rd castle, needing more farms myself. Indeed I miscalculated and had to lose one (another rule I missed, I had to undo one action as you lose an action if folks starve on the turn previously). I pushed up my white arches on my smaller city so she was only winning the other 2 which meant we swapped citizens a bit and then I added my 4th castle to make sure I had enough grain. Jenny was late following me there but we were very close in population, with some fine calculation going on in the last round as she added her 4th castle to boost her population and I spent my last 2 coins on a boost to mine - both of us making sure of our farming first. She had the one more citizen but only one of her towns had the full set of services. I thought I had only one as well, I hadn't been able to find a spare citizen to get a fountain so I got stuck at 8 pop, but I suddenly noticed that I had a hospital there so that town did have all 3, giving me the extra points to get the win.
J: 29 pop + 3 = 32
D: 28 pop + 6 = 34
There might be a bit of an asterisk over that win. We'll see if that holds next time we play - hopefully not quite so long this time.
N/A Tales & Games: The Pied Piper x2 NEW!
The other thing that happened was it was my birthday last week. 29 again! *cough* My wife had wanted to get me a game but was a bit gun shy over what to get. Last year she got me Roll for the Galaxy which I had really wanted but in the end it didn't really work out for us. So she took me to the store and we worked out what to get together. And one that we both agreed upon was Rattus: Pied Piper. We already have Tales & Games: The Three Little Pigs and I have been looking out for Tales & Games: The Hare & the Tortoise (more on that in a bit) plus my wife likes games with rodents in. Well cute rodents. And this game with its little rats with color string tails definitely counts as cute.
So of course we tried it out. 2 player so not quite the full experience, it has a couple of dummy houses that just put distance between you and your opponent. And for a while I did wonder if it would actually end in a reasonable time, we both floated around 2-3 levels in. But then there was a bit more movement, we got the trick of it a bit more, though we did go all the way through the deck once, it ended shortly after that as Jenny countered my moving a rat under my house by just moving it back in the red direction, taking my last level.
We went straight into a rematch which felt a lot more dynamic as the mechanics of the game had become second nature. I was admittedly quite mean to her and we both managed the move over then back to give 2 levels. I set up the black rat to move over her house and she did not do anything much in response so I played a melody and the other 2 rats with it came along too, so she jumped right up to 7 in a turn.
Seriously cute and fun, we will be making the kids play this with us at the next opportunity and it will come along to game night next week too. Looks like a cute little keeper to us.
8 Rat Hot
We switched to a different rat based game, one that we have played a lot over the last few years, that being Rat Hot. But this one went so well for Jenny it is untrue. I had several rats early on, limiting my scoring while she scored freely, building a lead. I figured this would come back around but her rats were nicely spread and so while I scored well for a while in the mid game, so did she. I knew I had 2 more in the bag but I was pushing my luck, knowing I needed to get points and hoping they would not be a disaster when they did come out. Both of them came out on Jenny's last turn (the worst possible time). She had 2 as well but was able to cover them up, leaving me FOUR, with one tile to play. I was done on rats, but Jenny had a great score which we added up as well:
(our record is 34; scores over 30 are rare).
And that was that, though a couple of new acquisitions (see birthday) are in line for debut, including Raptor and on order via a gift certificate, Sushi Go Party!. Hopefully that latter one will arrive before game night next weekend. And also after the success of the Pied Piper, I have Hare and Tortoise in my cart, waiting for enough to join it to get free shipping. So some good fun ahead.

Index of Leading Economic Indicators Underscores Continuing Recovery / Economics / Economic Recovery
The Conference Board's Index of Leading Economic Indicators (LEI) posted a solid 1.1% gain in November after a revised 0.4% increase in October. The LEI has risen at an annual rate of 8.7% in the three months ended November compared with a 0.4% gain during the previous three months (ending August). The accelerated increase of the LEI implies continued growth of the economy and at a stronger pace compared with the trend seen in recent months. The possibility of a double-dip discussed frequently in the summer months is almost irrelevant now.Read full article... Read full article...

GEAB writes: The second half of 2011 will mark the point in time when all the world's financial operators will finally understand that the West will not repay in full a significant portion of the loans advanced over the last two decades. For LEAP/E2020 it is, in effect, around October 2011, due to the plunge of a large number of US cities and states into an inextricable financial situation following the end of the federal funding of their deficits, whilst Europe will face a very significant debt refinancing requirementRead full article...

U.S. Housing Market Starts Show Small Recovery / Economics / Economic Recovery
Construction of new homes increased 3.9% to an annual rate of 555,000 in November, following an 11.1% drop in the previous month. Starts of single-family units advanced 6.9% in November to an annual rate of 465,000. The November level of single-family starts is marginally above the three-month moving average of single-family starts (see Chart 1), which suggests that stronger gains are necessary before we declare that home construction activity is out of the woods. Multi-family starts fell 9.1% in November, marking the third consecutive monthly decline.Read full article... Read full article...

UK unemployment is particularly hitting young people hard which risks creating a lost generation of increasingly angry youth (19.8% unemployed), as well as 1/2 million jobs expected to be cut from the public sector over the next 2 years, many of whom will find it difficult to adapt to the private sector jobs market.Read full article...

The plugin works perfectly in Firefox, but I can´t play it in Chrome. Any fix? I am trying to figure out the problem.
well, I got the same problem.
due to the popularity of the chrome browser,
I just can't figure out why is there a problem?
well if you got an answer, let me know.
I got it to work. Write "about:plugins" without quotes to your address bar in Chrome. There should be two Abobe Flash Players installed (on top of the list). One of them comes with Google Chrome (Type:NPAPI), other is not (Type:PPAPI). Disallow the one which is installed by you or Win updates (Type:PPAPI). Conflict between these two is the reason why ProPlayer doesn´t play in Chrome. After it´s done restart your Chrome and it should work well.
Please give me some feedback, if it won´t work there can be other solutions available. If you have any cache plugins installed then most likely it would cause conflicts with other plugins. I suggest you to uninstall cahce plugins then and manually gzip your content via .htaccess.
I didn't tried your solution yet, but I believe in your word that it works. The problem is, I can't get every one of my visitors to change their chrome configs just to being able to see videos on my site. So, that's out of question.
While this do not work, I can't really use this plugin :/
And it doesn't work with vimeo anymore...
There might be some other plugins around with the same functionality. If you like those skins you can import them I think, not the easiest task but shouldn´t be a rocket science.
The plugins fine your video format is the issue,
add a mp4 and webm file in your shortcode and it will work fine,

modric wont play against man utd
according to sky sports modders wont play against man utd and chelsea have signed mata and still want modders.
so looks like a berba situation all over again. so he decides he wont play but yet hes such a great guy.
so if harry is listening SELL SELL SELL FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SELL THE LITTLE TWAT.
ok i feel better now and yes twat is a little harsh and i think modric is class and would play him every game. but we all saw the berba effect and i think its goona hurt us.
sell him bring in diarra ,play livermore more and then sort out a top striker. what doesnt harry understand. ok as talked about we dont play the wages of man utd or city but surely there is some one out there that fits our bill .Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Technically speaking the Chavs haven't done anything wrong Berkshire - more's the pity. They haven't gone behind our backs and talked to Modric or his agent - they've come straight to us with their derisory bids.
I believe Levy will stand firm on this having be done over by the Berbasulk business. He needs to make a point and has to tell 'Arry to shut his trap and toe the company line. Bugger all this Modric's head is not in the right place lark. Play him v Hearts on Thursday and show him we mean business. If he refuses to play then he's in breach of contract and should be fined. I fully expect Modric to be a Spurs player on 1 September.
As for the money, haven't a clue where that is - but I'm sure Levy will use it in the transfer market where he can.
Berkshire Yid Berkshire Yid Aug 22, 2011 18:35 Flag
very true not blonde nut can we take that risk on the little bastard coming round half through the season? or banish him to the reserves for the rest of the season and have his value plummit?
Levy's stance has been week yes he has constantly said no the player is not for sale but why hasn't he reported chelsea to the FA? surely thats the next thing you would do when the second bid came in if you were serious about not letting him go?
Where has all the money gone? we got £13,600,000 for finishing fourth £17,000,000 for the champions league £1,200,00 from the domestic cups so thats roughly £31.2 million then i again ask WHERE HAS IT GONE? why have we suddendly got no money to spoend without selling players? something is not right somewhere.
Has it found its way into Arry's offshore bank account?
not_blonde_really not_blonde_really Aug 22, 2011 18:02 Flag
Isn't it funny how we all see the same situation in different ways... This refusing to play milarkey not only makes me not want to sell him, but makes me more determined than ever to keep him. 'Arry shouldn't just cup tie him against Hearts, but he should bring him on as a sub at the last possible moment so he has no chance to contribute - positively or negatively - to the game. Then let's see if his poor little diva's "in the right place" for the Citeh game.
Playing dirty tactics is disgusting, and that, coupled with Levy's strong position earlier this summer, means he absolutely can't fold. I also don't believe Modric's the type of player to sulk for half the season, I think he'll man up and get over it. I like to think Levy's silence is because, as far as he's concerned, he's said all there is to say already...

Sell Sell Sell the little bastard is as much use to use now as a chocolate fireguard.
I had a feeling right from the start that Arry and Levy were split on letting him go Arry has made several comments hinting he was for sale at the right price and then Levy saying over his dead body.
I have to ask if the comment "over my dead body" was a serious one from Levy then why has he not reported Chelsea to the FA for constantly making bids for the little bastard after stating he was not for sale, IMHO i belive Levy has been holding out for 35 Mill+ from the start but chelsea know they can now hold us to ransom as the window is drawing near the end and we are running out of time to strengthen the squad just look at how Levy handled the berbatov transfer to manure he just rolled over and and done what he was told by fergie and now he is having his pants pulled down again over the little bastard.
I firmly belive Levy and Arry are both partly to blame for the situation what is truely going on behind closed door's? why does Arry leave all the transfers to Levy? what kind of manager is Arry not to tell the chairman what players he wants?
Most of all i truely Belive Arry and Levy have taken us as far as they can and its time for a change i have grown sick and tired of both of them enough is enough its time for a change.
Sorry for the rant fellow yids but my blood is boiling over the whole affair we the supporters are being mugged off again.
Sticking out for whatever the "going rate" is might not be an option. Come the end of Aug we either take what is on the table or have a useless little lump playing in the reserves. Chelsea know that (especially now they have Mata) and Modric knows it.
Anyway the "going rate" is a mix of whatever the buying club is prepared to offer and what the selling club have to accept because the player refuses to be fair. In this case Modric is pushing to leave and therefore our hands might be tied.
Berkshire Yid Berkshire Yid Aug 22, 2011 11:18 Flag
i say sell him he has no respect for the club or us fans it goes to show once again the strength of player power and how the contracts they sign are not worth the paper they are printed on.
Give someone who wants to play for the club a chance kranjaer has been outstanding pre-season bring him and use the modric money to get a couple of qaulity signings in
- 1 Reply to Berkshire Yid
Up until now I was hoping Modric would change his mind and stay but if it is true, and he has said he won't play against Manure, then get him out ASAP. It will be a great loss, he is a great player, but if he is adamant he wants out then he is of no use to us.
Letting it drag on would be of no real benefit. Yes we might (might) get a couple of more mill but the damage that wait could cause might be worth more than that.
Move on. get a couple in that want to play for us and that add strength to the squad. We all know we need a proven scorer and Kranjcar and Livermore look good enough to fill some of the space left by Modric.
Bye bye croat turncoat. From what I saw of Chelski at the weekend, you might be joining a tired, over the hill outfit that wins nothing anyway. That would be justice in itself.
Kentish Maid Kentish Maid Aug 22, 2011 10:32 Flag
Selling would send the wrong message Beni. Regardless of whether his head's not right, Levy has made such a firm and unequivocal stand over this that backing down now will just confirm that player power rules and we're a pushover. Cue the rest of our stars agitating for a move elsewhere knowing we'll roll over for wads of cash. However, all Levy surely needs to do is remind Modric that he signed a 6-year contract last year.
Chavski should be reported to the FA for tapping up as this is has been so blatant, especially when not that long ago Modric had said in an interview how happy he was at Spurs and wanted to help get us back into the CL. However, the spineless FA won't do anything for fear of upsetting Abramovich, more's the pity, though you can bet your bottom dollar that if the boot was on the other foot they'd be down on us like a ton of bricks.
As for bringing in other players, I don't know why 'Arry keeps trotting out the line that any money from selling Modric will allow us to bring in 3 or 4 quality players - those players aren't exactly queueing up to break down the door to WHL are they?

Well said Kentish Maid, I'm with you on this one!... if modders goes, in time the rest will follow. If he stays we gain credibility, respect and our status as a top contender will remain. COYS
I say if he goes no big deal. At least then we won't faff around playing Barca ball and letting the game revolve around the selfish little shetin Modric has turned into. (Using us as a stepping stone for Chelsea).
We have players such as Huddlestone, Kranjcar, VDV and even Townsend who all playmake and set up goals from just behind the strikers. All of which actually get straight to the point and we score more without Luka.
Good riddance, Bale said we'll all keep going even if he does leave, which gives me hope that the team will NOT fall apart, but Top 4 is vital...
COYS, we can do this tonight, we need Kaboul and Dawson to have a terrific game, and Daffy to score against United.
Lets get rid now and buy a striker with the cash. He is massively overated anyway.

Two Mississippi state senators have introduced a bill to require people who receive public assistance to perform community service.
The measure was co-authored by Sen Nancy Collins of Tupelo and Sen. John Polk of Hattiesburg.
The bill requires that any able bodied recipient of public assistance, in the form of transfer payments, Medicaid, or housing, would be required to perform a minimum of 20 hours per week of community service to a non-profit organization in Mississippi.
"Public assistance many times can become a dead end and not a temporary condition. By helping others, you help yourself," said Collins. "I know of no better way than to be involved in community service and volunteerism."
"Public assistance is designed for those who are experiencing difficult times of a temporary nature. It is not meant to become a permanent way of life for anyone, said Polk.
The community service could be done at churches, if the participant and church both agree, but it could not be the recipient's own church under the bill.
For the bill to become law, it would have to pass both the House and Senate, and not be vetoed by the governor.
This and other similar bills face a Mar. 6 deadline for passage through its assigned committee.

I sent it back-and because the post office delivery was two days late they would not refund
my money.
When I called the associate who answered said they
would not return my money but they would send the merchandise back to me. Why should I take the merchandise back when it did not work?
TOO BAD-SO SAD is basically what they said.
I am telling all my friends-clients-customers-vendors-doctors and family not to trust this company because they are not interested in helping
just ripping off all they can from anyone they can

I worked at the Norcross office please read the other ripoff reports on the company. All the companies associated with the Bakersfield Office are blatantly ripping off and defrauding people with sweepstakes hype of some sort. My compnay did the most disgusting thing, they targeted only Senior Citizens.
If you have sustained ANY damages by the Atlanta Winners Choice Outfit or Nationwide Publishers or CBI please contact the Attorney general of the State of GA in Atlanta GA immediately. Make sure to have any and all communications with these companies , please do not throw them out as they can and will be used for evidence.
The owner of the Norcross GA Winner's Choice Publisher's is Vincent"Vinny" P. Conzo. The owner of the Bakersfield Office is RONALD "RON" BURDEN. The owners of Nationwide Publishers and CBI were Vincent Conzo and his brother Erik mark Conzo. Nationwide Publishers was busted by the Georgia Bureau of Investigations in jan. of 2001 for telemarketing fraud and federal racketeering. The office in Norcross is operating to this very day and will try very hard to rip you off with their phoney sweepstakes lies.
Senior Citizens beware! This outfit is directly dealing with the devil himself. They have defrauded Seniors between the ages of 70 and 90 for thhe past 13 years and will not hesitate to rob you off your last pennies from your monthly Social Security check. They are ruthless and evil and need to be dealt with.
Please come forward and report any damages as a report on this website. The agencies can only deal with the fraud if it is reported. The more reports there are on a compnay the faster they will be shut down and apprehended.
Thanks for your support of this website

Villa gained a crucial three points in their fight against relegation last weekend with victory at Reading, and the same result against Harry Redknapp's men would give them some breathing space.
Vlaar told the club's official website: "The fans were awesome at Reading, even after the conceded goal. They kept on yelling, screaming and shouting in a positive way. It was very good.
"We knew these two games were immense for us. This was a good start and we look forward to QPR now. Besides the previous two games against very good teams in Man City and Arsenal, we have had good results.

The Sun Studio LA - Rip Off!
No Commitment Membership? be sure not to get it from The Sun Studio LA as what you will get is tanning far away from non committal.
In fact for your $100 a month no commitment unlimited tanning you get to tan for only 3 weeks before needing to tell them in writing and in person that you intend to pause your non committal membership for a month.
Since when are we in a day where you have to give 7 days written notice (in person) to your tanning salon that you won't be using their services for the next month or they will charge the card you gave them last time again and not offer a refund.
It's disgusting how clearly advertised signs saying no commitment memberships are apparently not related to memberships? This is clearly against the law?
The owner of these establishments does not care about anything except making money. [continued below]....
Its a total rip off and is disgusting they are still able to operate like this.
Avoid The Sun Studio LA at all costs they have no care for your health just their pockets.

I wonder how much you get paid to spam....
It's his plugin that he likes to show off...
Your contact tab gives a 404 error.
This is the 'your wordpress' topic? the one where you are meant to strut your stuff :P
Yes I'm very proud to show off another WordPress powered site that utilizes WP e-Commerce.
maybe mufasa can answer some of the question his audience are asking...
Attractive site. Recipes is spelled wrong on the Main Menu. Right now, it says Recipies
This is the number one hit on Google right now for 'wordpress shopping cart'
i think the location of your school should be more prominent. maybe a geographical location plugin or something.
I prefer Yak Shopping cart, it integrates much better with WordPress and it's definitely easier to use.
That is a matter of opinion.
If you want a more serious e-commerce solution then you should stick with WP e-Commerce. It is not hard to use and now that WP e-Commerce 3.6.6 has been released it is even easier and more powerful then ever.
I got a trojan warning from that site
Hi, I am the guy who actually built the site. Thanks for the positive comments.
artrato3 - just wondering if you know why you might have got that warning, and also how you got the warning? They are a very reputable business hosted on a reputable host, so unless there has been some sort of foul play, I am baffled by this.
Cheers, Wes
Oh, and oddb - great suggestion, I will put it to my client. Thanks, Wes
Hey Wes!!!! How you doing matey!!!
Here is to a table free version of WP e-Commerce coming up in 3.6.7 buddy!!!

The Senior Thesis Seminar in History
The three-quarter History 398 senior thesis seminar is a selective program intended for outstanding history majors who are ready to move from learning history from others to independently researching and writing history of their own under faculty supervision.
The rewards are many: the chance to work closely with a faculty advisor to craft an original research project of your own design, the pleasures of sustained immersion in a subject of intense personal interest, enhanced research, writing, and time-management skills, and the confidence and satisfaction that goes with completing a scholarly project of this magnitude. For those considering graduate study, the senior thesis can be both a trial run and a stepping-stone that will give you a top-notch writing sample for applications to graduate programs. It also gives you the chance to work with peers who care as much about history as you do. Students who have participated in the program in the past have consistently cited the senior thesis seminar the most rewarding intellectual experience of their college years.
Preparing for the 398 Seminar
Third-year history majors with a GPA of 3.5 or higher and support from a faculty advisor may apply for admission to the History 398 seminar. Applications are due by 4:00 PM on the third Friday of spring quarter for students who intend to take the senior thesis seminar in the next academic year. A letter of recommendation from your advisor must accompany your proposal or be submitted directly by your advisor at the same time as your proposal.
Students considering an application should begin preparations early, first by completing History 393 and History 395 by the end of their third-year and second by discussing their proposed research with prospective faculty advisers well in advance of the application deadline. Generally, students are best served by approaching faculty they have studied with in the past who work in their research field.
Proposal Submission Deadline
Applications to the senior thesis seminar are due by 4:00 PM on the third Friday of spring quarter via email attachment to the Undergraduate Coordinator at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Writing a Research Proposal
Topic: Before they begin, students need to choose a topic that will hold their interest over the long haul and reward in-depth research. Think of the questions or problems that stuck with you from your previous classes. What issues interested you the most? Do you have any special language skills? What kinds of materials do you enjoy working with? Do you feel a special affinity with a particular place or epoch? What sort of question would you like to answer?
Advisor: All students must secure in advance the agreement of a faculty member to act as their advisor. This faculty member should be knowledgeable in the student's area of interest. After having given some thought to potential topics, students should approach a prospective advisor and work with her or him to craft a compelling proposal. History senior thesis projects are ordinarily sponsored by tenure-line professors from the Department of History (assistant, associate or full professors). Students may petition to have their thesis advised by a postdoctoral fellow, a visiting faculty member, or a faculty member from another department. Such petitions must be approved by both the Director of Undergraduate Studies and the Chair of the History Department prior to submission of the thesis proposal.
Statement: Based on this process of thinking, reading, and discussion, applicants prepare a short two-page proposal outlining their proposed topic and its signficance. It is important to prepare as concise and coherent a statement as possible at this preliminary stage. Be sure to identify a specific historical problem or question the thesis will address. Indicate the sources that will be consulted. If possible, set your approach within the context of what other scholars working in related areas have written and outline the significance of your proposed contribution. A short bibliography should be included. Your objective is to demonstrate that you have begun to think through the research process, that you have acquainted yourself with relevant materials, and that you are aware of the issues at stake in your project. The proposal should also highlight your abilities, drawing attention to relevant course work, previous research experience, language skills, or other factors germane to the project. Be certain to include the name of a proposed advisor. No one will be admitted to the seminar without faculty sponsorship.
Letter of Recommendation: A letter of recommendation from your proposed advisor must either accompany the proposal or be submitted directly by the advisor such that it reaches the office at the same time as your proposal.
Cover: Proposals shall have a cover sheet indicating the following:
- Student Name
- Student email address
- Seven-digit Student ID and Student NetID
- Proposal Title, Advisor and Advisor email address
Students Abroad
Students who study abroad during their junior year may apply for admission to the senior thesis seminar, but must meet the application deadline. Students in this position should contact advisors well in advance of the application deadline since email communication takes longer than verbal exchange.
Admissions Decisions
Admission to the thesis program is decided by the current and incoming instructors of the senior thesis seminar and the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
Those admitted are generally expected to have both a history GPA and a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or above. However, no one is admitted solely on the basis of a strong GPA, and we occasionally admit candidates with a GPA below 3.5. The admissions committee is particularly on the lookout for candidates with imagination, analytical acuity, verbal fluency, and personal initiative, and also weigh the degree of enthusiasm evinced in faculty letters of recommendation. Students demonstrate these qualities by submitting a brief research proposal by the specified due date. Applicants are generally advised of admissions decisions before registration for fall quarter begins.
Undergraduate Research Grants
There are a number of undergraduate research grant (URG) opportunities available to thesis writers and those who apply to the senior thesis seminar are encouraged and expected to seek financial support for their research. Provost-sponsored opportunities include Academic Year and Summer URGs (which carry a $3000 stipend intended to cover living and research expenses). Weinberg College grants include Academic Year grants of up to $1000 and summer grants which carry a $3000 stipend to cover research and living expenses for an eight-week summer period. Additional Weinberg College research scholarships, fellowships and grants include the Katherine L. Krieghbaum Scholarship, a prize one senior thesis writer from each department is nominated for each year, the Herskovits Undergraduate Fellowship Program, which provides funding for research involving NU's Africana collection, and the Sion Asia-related Research Grants which provide funding for research on Asia-related topics, among others. Additional information may be found on the WCAS website.
The 398 Seminar
The 398 seminar is a three-quarter sequence taken in the senior year in which senior thesis students prepare a thesis and meet regularly as colleagues to discuss problems of common interest under the guidance of a faculty member. It typically meets weekly in fall quarter but less often in winter and spring. Subjects for discussion include methodology, approaches to primary and secondary sources, problems of objectivity and subjectivity, and the use of narrative and analysis. Practical matters like funding sources and library resources are also discussed. Included on the reading list are superior senior theses from previous years. These theses are also available for consultation by juniors interested in applying to the seminar.
In the fall, students complete a variety of short assignments relevant to their topic, as well as a revised and expanded thesis proposal. In the winter and spring, they submit drafts of chapters for comment and revision. Enrollment in 398-1 and 398-2 are mandatory. Students who have otherwise completed their coursework are not required to enroll in 398-3, though all others are encouraged to do so. All three quarters may be counted toward the twelve-course requirement for the History major. Students receive "K" ("continuing") grades at the end of the fall and winter quarters and then three letter grades at the end of the spring quarter; these three letters grades need not be the same. Seminar grades are decided by the seminar instructor in consultation with individual faculty advisers; the final decision rests with the seminar instructor.
The Thesis
A thesis is an historical analysis based on a student's individual research using primary materials that makes some original contribution to the field. The variety of methods and approaches currently used in the discipline of history means that no single type of thesis constitutes a model. The originality of the thesis may lie in its explication of untapped sources, its reinterpretations of familiar sources, its new synthesis of existing interpretations, or some other novelty. A thesis will almost invariably include: 1) an introduction to set out the problem, state the argument, limit the scope of the inquiry, and position the thesis in relation to the current state of historical opinion on the topic, 2) a set of chapters to present and analyze the relevant evidence, and 3) a conclusion to summarize the findings and suggest future avenues of research. A thesis is typically 40-60 pages in length including a thorough bibliography.
The final thesis is due in early May to allow your faculty adviser and seminar instructor time to read and review your work in advance of the mid-May deadline for submitting honors recommendations to the College. Authors must submit three bound copies of their thesis: one for his or her advisor, one for the 398 instructor, and one for the department's files. Costs incurred for printing shall be borne by the student. An additional digital copy must also be submitted to the Undergraduate Coordinator at the same time.
The submitted thesis must include a title page, acknowledgments, a one-page summary with five keywords, the core text, footnotes, and a bibliography. The thesis must be carefully proofread and the references prepared carefully and in a consistent style.
Recommendation for Honors
Completion of the 398 seminar does not assure the granting of Honors. The Undergraduate Awards Committee makes a recommendation on Honors, and its recommendation is subject to approval by the WCAS Committee on Undergraduate Academic Excellence. The department uses the following criteria in its deliberations:
- Two readers of the thesis must judge it to be of very high quality. One will be the faculty advisor; the other is the instructor of the senior thesis seminar. In all cases, both readers must submit a written evaluation of the thesis, explaining their recommendation for (or against) the granting of Honors, and commenting on the originality and quality of the work. In rare cases where there is a difference of opinion the Director of Undergraduate Studies will read and report on the thesis as well.
- The candidate should have a minimum GPA of 3.5 in history courses.
- The candidate should have a minimum GPA of 3.5 overall.
- Exceptions will be made to the minimum GPA requirement in items 2 and 3 if the thesis is judged to be of extraordinarily high quality.
If the department recommends Honors, the candidate's name is forwarded to the WCAS Committee on Undergraduate Academic Excellence which makes the final determination of honors. Be advised that there have been cases in which the department has recommended Honors but the College has declined to confer Honors.
The Johnston Prize
The Grace Douglas Johnston prize is awarded to the student whose honors thesis is judged to be of the highest quality. The award is made by the department's Undergraduate Awards Committee.
Mechanism for Student Complaints
The department Chair will hear cases in which a student feels that he or she has received unsatisfactory consideration from the department's Undergraduate Awards Committee.
Questions and Further Information
The department holds an information session concerning the senior thesis seminar in late February each year. For further information please address inquiries to firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Cottey College Comets defeated Hesston College's Lady Larks, 73-62, Saturday afternoon in the gym at Hinkhouse Center on the Cottey College campus.
Head coach Dave Ketterman's squad led, 39-27, at halftime on the way to its 14th victory in 15 games this season.
In the last meeting between the two squads, the Comets needed overtime to pick up the victory by a final score of 56-53 after being forced to come back from a 35-23 halftime deficit, but that wasn't the case Saturday as Ketterman's squad got the lead early and held on to win in regulation. Thanks to this latest loss, the Lady Larks saw their record slip to 9-13 on the season.
Atchison, Kan., sophomore Blaklee Sanders led the Comets with 24 points and 10 rebounds and was joined in double figures by Dayna Turnbull with 13 and Kat Zumalt with 10.
Bryana Young led the Lady Larks with 14 points.
After the game, Ketterman said he was pleased with the effort of his players, but he thinks their legs may have been a little tired after 7-hour bus rides last weekend and Wednesday night for road games.
The Comets are off until next Saturday, when the Lady Archers of St. Louis Community College visit Nevada. Tipoff for that contest is set for 1 p.m.
