Multicriteria Dynamic Optimization Problems and Cooperative Dynamic Games
Jacob C. Engwerda
Tilburg University - Department of Economics
June 2007
CentER Discussion Paper Series No. 2007-41
We survey some recent research results in the field of dynamic cooperative differential games with non-transferable utilities. Problems which fit into this framework occur for instance if a person has more than one objective he likes to optimize or if several persons decide to combine efforts in trying to realize their individual goals. We assume that all persons act in a dynamic environment and that no side-payments take place. For these kind of problems the notion of Pareto efficiency plays a fundamental role. In economic terms, an allocation in which no one can be made better-off without someone else becoming worse off is called Pareto efficient. In this paper we present as well necessary as sufficient conditions for existence of a Pareto optimum for general non-convex games. These results are elaborated for the special case that the environment can be modeled by a set of linear differential equations and the objectives can be modeled as functions containing just affine quadratic terms. Furthermore we will consider for these games the convex case. In general there exists a continuum of Pareto solutions and the question arises which of these solutions will be chosen by the participating persons. We will flash some ideas from the axiomatic theory of bargaining, which was initiated by Nash [16, 17], to predict the compromise the persons will reach.

Win a Cookbook
In our new series, "Win a Cookbook," we'll give you a preview of a cookbook we love, then let you vote for the recipe you most want us a reveal. By voting, you enter to win a free copy of the cookbook.
Londonners Martha Swift and Lisa Thomas started baking out of Lisa's home kitchen. "Our idea was very simple," says Martha. "We wanted to produce cupcakes from natural ingredients, using no preservatives and no artificial colors, ingredients, or flavors. And, just as importantly, we wanted them to look amazing and totally distinctive." Soon after word got out that some of the best cupcakes on this planet were coming out of Lisa's oven, the duo was approached to supply their goodies to Selfridges, a high-end department store in the U.K. They opened their first bakery (and finally had access to a professional kitchen) in Primrose Hill in 2006 and branched out to a second bakery two years later in Covent Garden. (Jude Law is a fan: "I defy anyone to find a better cupcake," he said.)
Years of testing and tasting have been put into their new cookbook, Cupcakes from the Primrose Bakery. These are simple, classic cakes, expertly executed and presented with Primrose's own quirky sensibility. The coffee and walnut cake–yes, they go beyond cupcakes–comes with icing only on top and between layers, leaving the sides rough and doughy. The peppermint cupcakes, dolloped with spearmint-colored buttercream and red-and-white-swirled candies, look straight out of Whoville. And we might just take to topping our cream cheese icing with grated orange zest after seeing how beautifully the authors dusted their carrot cupcakes with citrus-y flecks.
So now, you decide: Which recipe should we reveal to our readers? Click after the jump to see some delectable photos from the book that will help guide your decision (or, more likely, will make it harder to choose).
In the comments section, vote for the recipe you want us to post from Cupcakes from the Primrose Bakery and you could win a free copy of the book! NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Click here for full rules
The contest ends at 11:59 PM May 6, 2010, when all entries/comments must be received. When we reveal the cookbook winners, we will also reveal the winning recipe, and some cupcake tips from Swift and Thomas.

In an odd twist to the usual it looks as though someone on the Hill is ready to at least stand up and ask some serious questions to content providers, such as ATT, regarding their new data caps. Mr. Markey feels that the new data caps may very well do more harm then good, such as hurting competition and lower adoption rates for broadband services.
[quote]"I am concerned that charging more for increased usage would raise prices for some consumers and potentially lead to lower broadband adoption levels. This would undermine our broadband goals as outlined in the National Broadband Plan while undercutting our global competitiveness, and I will be closely monitoring this decision."[/quote]
We hope they decide to start asking tougher questions though, such as how ATT came to their cap amount and if ATT can show raw data that proves their network takes any kind of hit what so ever from using bandwidth.

New home sales fell for the third straight month in July, another sign that the housing industry remains weak and is hurting the economy.
If the current pace continues, analysts predict 2011 will be the worst year for new-home sales in at least half a century.
Sales fell nearly 1 percent in July to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 298,000 homes, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday. That's less than half the 700,000 that economists say represent a healthy market.
Last year, 323,000 homes were sold - the worst year on records dating back to 1963.
Plunging stocks and a growing fear that the U.S. could tip back into another recession are also keeping people from buying new homes.
Renewed concerns about job security likely weighed on many would-be buyers' minds, said Mark Vitner, senior economist at Wells Fargo.
Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said a slowdown in the U.S. economy has more than offset any boost from super-low mortgage rates.
"A new home is a luxury that many Americans can no longer afford," Dales said.
Home prices have dropped more on a percentage basis than they did during the Great Depression in the 1930s. History shows it took nearly 19 years for them to recover.

The "Trump train" was derailed in Wisconsin as voters in the Badger State gave Ted Cruz a major victory over "The Donald." The big question now is – are the Republicans headed for a contested convention this summer?

A judge has thrown out a law handing power to Oakland County's Republican-controlled Board of Commissioners to draw its own districts.
Ingham County Circuit Court Judge William Collette ruled Wednesday that the law passed last year by the GOP-controlled Legislature was unconstitutional and an unfunded mandate.
He also says the law impinges on Oakland County voters' rights to petition for judicial review of the reapportionment plan.
A redistricting map already had been drawn up by a bipartisan county apportionment committee consisting of the Democratic county prosecutor and treasurer, the Republican county clerk and the heads of the county Republican and Democratic parties.
Republicans lost a court challenge to that map and turned to legislators to change the law. It's unclear if they'll appeal.
Oakland County Democrats are welcoming the ruling.
Editor's note: Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson issued the following statement in response to today's ruling.
"Today's ruling by the liberal Ingham County Circuit Court is a Phyrric victory for the Democrats. Ingham County Circuit Court has a long record of ruling in favor of Democrats, only to be overturned by higher courts. This matter will be settled in the Michigan Supreme Court.
"In addition, if this ruling stands on appeal, it could create a fiscal disaster for the City of Detroit. The financially struggling city is the beneficiary of numerous funding statutes that use population as a trigger. Many of these statutes had to be changed after the city's population dropped below 750,000. The statute changes which were unique to Detroit passed with less than a two-thirds vote of the Michigan Legislature. How can the law be one thing for Democratic areas and something else for the rest of the state?"

MUSKEGON, MI – With word that Consumers Energy has plans to demolish the B.C. Cobb Generating Plant in Muskegon after April 2016, one would think Muskegon is becoming Demolition City.
The Jackson-based public utility's announcement of its plans for Cobb and two other old, coal-fired power plants comes in the immediate aftermath of the Sunday, Oct. 27 demolition of the former Sappi paper mill power plant.
The closure and removal of the Cobb plant would make the only Muskegon Lake shoreline industry the Cole's Bakery plant, which makes frozen garlic bread. With no Sappi paper mill or Cobb power plant, Muskegon Lake would begin a whole new era.
"This announcement of a demolition is the best thing that could have ever had happened to the Muskegon Lakeshore region," said Cindy Larsen, president of the Muskegon Lakeshore Chamber of Commerce. "This will remake and ever-change Muskegon."
As sad and discouraging as it might be for Muskegon's historical industrial structures to be brought down, it is sure better than the alternative, community leaders and economic developers say.
"The planned demolition of the plant is a positive thing," Muskegon Mayor Steve Gawron said, adding that the plant closure had been expected since the company announced in late 2011 that it would suspend operations in early 2015.
"We did not want that plant sitting mothballed," Gawron said of past plans of Consumers Energy. "It is negative that it will cease operations but positive that it will be demolished for future uses."
Muskegon Area First President Ed Garner agrees. A lasting eye-sore of a closed plant in a community is bad for community image and bad for business, he said.
"It is good that this will not drag out years, years and years," said Garner, head of the Muskegon County economic development agency.
Muskegon is home to enough vacant, abandoned industrial legacy buildings, officials said. The community is much further ahead when old industrial companies close facilities and they are removed before they become a blighting influence, they said.
That has been the case with the former Sealed Power plant on Sanford Street, the old Lift-Tech International plant on West Broadway Avenue and the Brunswick facility on West Laketon Avenue. Now it looks as if the Cobb plant on the east end of Muskegon Lake will end with the same fate -- closure and demolition.
Consumers Energy officials said the company will not move forward with closure and demolition of the Cobb plant, located on the Muskegon River where it empties into Muskegon Lake, until a special bond issue is approved by the Michigan Public Service Commission and the final closure is approved by the company board of directors. State approval is expected by the end of the year, company officials said.
As difficult as it will be to lose the property tax base – Cobb has been Muskegon County's leading taxpayer – and the well-paying jobs – about 115 are employed at the plant – community leaders are pleased to be looking forward rather than backward.
"This certainly will speed up the planning for the redevelopment of the site," Garner said of the 300 acres immediately on the Cobb site and the 1,000 acres that the electric company owns along Muskegon Lake and the Muskegon River.
Muskegon Area First worked with Consumers Energy on an initial study of the reuse of the Cobb plant's six-year-old, huge lake freighter dock – able to accommodate the largest Great Lakes ships which bring coal to the plant.
Garner said that a second phase of the redevelopment study will look at potential redevelopment uses for the entire Cobb site. A consultant's report is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
The current thinking in Muskegon with city, county and community leaders is to redevelop the east end of Muskegon Lake with port development that supports clean manufacturing industries. The removal of the smokestacks at Sappi and Cobb will change the lake views and the community image.
"We will not have heavy, smokestack industries on the waterfront anymore," Larsen said. "Industry is still alive and well in Muskegon, but the factories are in the industrial parks where they belong."
That leaves a more aggressive redevelopment of the remainder of Muskegon Lake's south shore from downtown Muskegon to the Muskegon Channel for residential, recreational and tourist developments, Larsen said.
"If you travel the state, you realize the amazing qualities of Muskegon Lake," Larsen said. "Unfortunately, they have been hidden in the shadow of the big Cobb stack. There are pretty lakes, beautiful lakes and magnificent lakes. People will discover with Cobb gone that Muskegon Lake is magnificent."
Certainty of the potential closure and demolition of the Cobb plant would give community leaders time to prepare for the loss of tax revenues but also for a redevelopment plan.
"We need to move ahead and make a positive out of all of this," Gawron said. "With our waterfront properties, we need to further the new vision of Muskegon as the Port of Michigan."
Muskegon County Commissioner Terry Sabo heads up the county's Public Works Board and a special port committee. The closure of the Cobb plant is no shock but a reality that county and community leaders have been planning to confront, he said.
"As an optimist, I think we need to press on with greater achievements for our waterfront for the future," Sabo said of the county's port committee, established in part because the Cobb plant was eventually going to be closed. "We face a new era of industry on the lake. We don't know exactly what that will be, but we are getting regional and statewide interest."
Muskegon Area First has worked with The Right Place in Grand Rapids to create the West Michigan Economic Development Partnership, which has brought together Muskegon and Kent county governments, including the city of Muskegon.
The special state-sanctioned authority will push specific shovel-ready properties awaiting redevelopment. In Muskegon, the state incentives and marketing efforts will be directed toward the port development potential of the east end of Muskegon Lake, the economic developers said.
For Garner and Muskegon Area First, it's time to get to work.
"This paves the way for future development," Garner said of the Consumers Energy announcement on the Cobb plant. "That is what we need. It's change. We need to look to the future."

A Luton Airport worker who scooped £1million on the EuroMillions celebrated his win with a first purchase of a pair of £9.99 Tesco slippers.
John Baxter, 63, works in Technical Services at the airport and won the money in Tuesday's raffle draw.
As well as the slippers, he will also be treating his wife to her first request; a new stainless sink.
John said: ""I have everything I could want in life; a lovely home, a long and happy marriage and the most wonderful family, including my three sons and nine brilliant grandchildren. The win is just the icing on the cake."
The Baldock resident didn't realise he was a millionaire winner until he went to buy tickets for the Friday night draw and was persuaded by the shopkeeper to check his previous tickets.
He didn't think the numbers matched but had overlooked the Millionaire Raffle on his play slip.
John said: "It was amazing. I've been going into Gary's shop for years so we have a good friendship and it was great that he had sold me the winning ticket. Some of the people in the shop heard the man from Camelot on the phone say I had a big win and there was pandemonium with everyone congratulating me. By the time I'd walked home to break the news to my wife, one of the other customers had already shot around in her car to share the news!"
John, who had a triple heart bypass a few years ago, has a reputation for being something of a practical joker so for some people it took a while to sink in, while others thought it was the shop playing a long overdue trick on John.
Family and friends joined John and his wife of 45 years, Carol, at their home for a weekend of celebrating with 15 treated to a slap-up meal at a local restaurant on Saturday night.
John said his family will all be treated in the coming weeks but he will be investing most of the winnings for the short term while he decides on his future.
Early retirement may be on the cards as well as a holiday and of course the sink for his wife.
He will also be making a donation to The Meningitis Trust, a charity he has supported since his granddaughter, who is now 19, survived the disease when she was a baby.
The winning ticket was bought in Basra's Store on Yeomanry Drive, Clothall Common, Baldock, Hertfordshire. The winning EuroMillions Millionaire Raffle selection was KZZ838323.

LISBON - The Columbiana County Sheriff's Department is investigating two accidental shootings, both which caused injuries, on Saturday.
Deputies were called to Forbes Road near the border of Madison and Yellow Creek townships after a man reported being shot in the woods. The man, whose injuries were minor, spoke with deputies along the road later. His fiancee was taking him to a hospital to be checked.
In his description to deputies, the man said he was unsure if the person firing knew he was there or not. He yelled, and they stopped. Although he was not identified by deputies, the man who was struck reportedly did not live on the road. A woman identifying herself as his fiancee said they were at a nearby home belonging to her boss.
Chief Deputy Allan Haueter said late Saturday the investigating deputies had informed him the man was checking his tree stand, and at first it was believed to have been children shooting. But Haueter said it was later determined to have been someone target shooting and not using a good backstop.
Deputies did emerge from the woods with one man, but it was unknown if he was involved in the shooting or only a witness. A group of people could be seen from the road in the woods near a campfire.
The matter remains under investigation, and the prosecutors office was contacted regarding what happened.
Deputies also reported an accidental shooting earlier in the day at a Hawkins Road home in Fairfield Township. Haueter said the woman was reportedly leaving to go out hunting, and the gun discharged shooting her in the leg. Her condition was not known Saturday night.

China's speculative surge nears the end
China worries about house price inflation
The Dalian polymers future market had a strong end to 2009. As the chart shows, Linear Low Density Polymer volumes (blue line) jumped to 44 million tonnes. The new PVC contract saw the same volume. But there are growing signs that this may prove a 'last hurrah'. The government is clearly starting to worry about […]
China's polyethylene imports surge 63%
The above chart, courtesy of trade data experts GTIS, shows the extraordinary leap in China's polyethylene imports this year. They have surged 63% January – October in 2009 (blue bar) to 6.7 million tonnes versus 4.2 MT in 2007 (green bar) and 2008 (orange bar). Many countries have seen massive rises. Iran exported 404kt vs […]
The China "bubble" begins to deflate
China's perceived demand has been the major driving force behind the rallies in financial and commodities markets this year. It has also attracted large volumes of polymer imports. But this wishful thinking ignores the fundamental issue that China's economy is relatively small (just $4trn in a world economy of $60trn) and is 104th in terms […]
China's banks worry about the speculative bubble
This year, China has been the one place in the world where almost anyone can get a loan. But now, it seems policy is about to change. Zhang Jianguo, president of the 2nd largest bank, China Construction, has announced a 70% cut in H2 lending to Rmb 200bn ($29bn), "to avert a surge in bad […]

The ratio then […]

Steelers-Ravens notes
PITTSBURGH -- Byron Leftwich's 31-yard touchdown run was the longest of his career and matched Roethlisberger for the longest by a Steelers quarterback since 2001.
-- After going 66-for-133 on third downs going into Sunday, the Steelers failed to covert on their first six tries against the Ravens. Leftwich finally ended that streak just before halftime on an 11-yard completion to Jerricho Cotchery.
-- Sunday's game was the 12th time the Steelers have played at home on Sunday night since 1990. The Steelers won the first three, lost the next three, won the next three and lost the next three.
-- The Steelers got Rashard Mendenhall back Sunday night, and promptly lost Isaac Redman. Redman left the game in the first half after carrying once for five yards and was later ruled out with a concussion.
Mendenhall finished with 11 carries for 33 yards. Jonathan Dwyer led the Steelers with 55 yards on 12 carries. Pittsburgh rushed for 134 yards against the Ravens, averaging 5.0 yards per carry, while holding Baltimore to 47 yards on 23 rushing attempts.
-- Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta left early in the game with a possible concussion and didn't return.
-- Jones' score was his third return touchdown this season.
-- Fourth-year cornerback Keenan Lewis made a team-high 10 tackles for the Steelers, one for loss, and was credited with two pass breakups. Lawrence Timmons (nine tackles) and James Harrison (eight tackles) also had big days for the Steelers' defense.
-- Roethlisberger spent the night in gray sweats and his right arm in a sling coaching from the sidelines. More precisely, he usually had one -- or both -- feet on the field.
"He didn't do anything any other quarterback wouldn't do," Tomlin said.

Senior, foil, 5-9, 155 pounds
JUST THE STATS: The senior captain won the District 3 individual foil competition this past weekend in Wayne while also leading his squad to third place in the team foil competition. Iverson, a leader on and off the strip, is undefeated in dual meets this year, with a 17-0 record. He will fence for Brown University next year.
TEAM GOALS: "Well this year we want to do well at squads and win Prep states. Just as important is the fact that we want to help improve the existing team to ready them for next year. We want to build a program here at Newark Academy that can compete with the powerhouses like Columbia. I think we can do that because as a program we have begun to develop good fencers and good chemistry. I also would like to see my teammate, Alastair Murray, win state individuals."
PERSONAL GOAL: "I would really like to make First Team All-State. I would really love to follow up districts with a gold at squad states, and perhaps win the individual states as well."
START IN FENCING: "I started fencing in fifth grade. I have been really fortunate to have been coached by my current coach, Marcos Luchetti, as well as being incredibly fortunate to attend Newark Academy. To be fencing in the great facilities (The Cetrulo Fencing Room) we have here built on the great legacy of the Cetrulo family. ... I am just really lucky to have a great facility and great coach."
FAVORITE THING ABOUT FENCING: "I love the feeling I get when I exert myself. I get to push myself to the limit in a creative and physical outlet. I love using my creativity to score a touch."
STRENGTH: "I feel I have a good sense of how to control a bout and figure out weaknesses of my opponent. I also don't get worked up too easily."
WEAKNESS: "When I lose my focus and don't relax. If I am relaxed I don't feel like anyone can defeat me."
FENCER YOU MODEL YOURSELF AFTER: "First that comes to mind is Brian Kaneshige (former Columbia High fencer who competes for Harvard). His style is gorgeous. His mental focus is impressive."
IF I WEREN'T FENCING: "I'm not sure. I am someone who likes to try everything. I guess I would be spending more time playing guitar, writing or acting."
FAVORITE FOOD: "I like Indian food. We have this dish they serve at school called 'Indian Cuisine.' I'm not joking. It is my favorite."
FAVORITE MUSIC: "I like all music, though my favorite groups would be Dave Mathews or Bon Iver."
FAVORITE TV SHOW: "Lost" or "Jon Stewart."
FAVORITE MOVIE: "Almost Famous." "It's poignant, relevant and the music is great."
FAVORITE BOOK: "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
FAVORITE SUBJECT: "I enjoy everything, We have this program at school called International Baccalaureate, which is kind of like AP but for international schools. I love IB Economics and IB theatre class."
IF YOU COULD HAVE A SUPER POWER: "To teleport anywhere, instantly. It would cut down on travel time."
IF I COULD CHANGE ONE THING IN THE WORLD: "I would stop all forms of hate. Discrimination comes in all forms. Bias is prevalent everywhere in our society. I would like to see that change."

Law Deans in Jail
Morgan Cloud
Emory University School of Law
George B. Shepherd
Emory University School of Law
February 24, 2012
Emory Legal Studies Research Paper No. 12-199
A most unlikely collection of suspects - law schools, their deans, U.S. News & World Report and its employees - may have committed felonies by publishing false information as part of U.S. News' ranking of law schools. The possible federal felonies include mail and wire fraud, conspiracy, racketeering, and making false statements. Employees of law schools and U.S. News who committed these crimes can be punished as individuals, and under federal law the schools and U.S. News would likely be criminally liable for their agents' crimes.
Some law schools and their deans submitted false information about the schools' expenditures and their students' undergraduate grades and LSAT scores. Others submitted information that may have been literally true but was misleading. Examples include misleading statistics about recent graduates' employment rates and students' undergraduate grades and LSAT scores.
U.S. News itself may have committed mail and wire fraud. It has republished, and sold for profit, data submitted by law schools without verifying the data's accuracy, despite being aware that at least some schools were submitting false and misleading data. U.S. News refused to correct incorrect data and rankings errors and continued to sell that information even after individual schools confessed that they had submitted false information. In addition, U.S. News marketed its surveys and rankings as valid although they were riddled with fundamental methodological errors.

text: Innovation and technology resources, as well as the tech-savvy nature of Korean consumers who are eager to be at the forefront of market trends, have combined to fuel the remarkable development of Korea's mobile phone industry. Indeed, this favorable environment has enabled Korean mobile phone makers to vault into the upper echelon of the global telecom market.Kim Dong-suk Mobile Division Chief, Electronic TimesKim Yong- chul PhotographerIn February 2010, at the Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona, Spain, Samsung Electronics unveiled its TouchWiz 3.0 interface, which is designed to facilitate social networking functions and multi-tasking UX. TouchWiz 3.0, which is featured in the Galaxy S, the smartphone Samsung released on June 25 as its response to the iPhone, signals the user when a new message has been received, without disrupting any ongoing call or function.The world's first mobile phone was Motorola's DynaTAC, released in 1983. Weighing in at a hefty 1.3 kilograms, it brought to mind a brick or dumbbell. Up through the mid-1980s, Korea had not yet entered the global mobile phone market. But the history of Korea's mobile phone did get underway in 1986, when Samsung Electronics launched the first domestically developed car phone, the SC-100, which was followed by the SH-100, in time for the 1988 Olympics in Seoul. Back then, the Korean mobile phone market was dominated by foreign-made mobile phones, such as those of Motorola.But everything changed with the advent of the 1990s, as Samsung Electronics enjoyed sharp growth in its share of the domestic mobile phone market. By the 2000s, locally developed mobile phones from Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics emerged on the world market, where they quickly gained consumer acceptance with their trend-setting color LCD screen, camera function, customized ring tone, and stylish design. In 2002, Samsung Electronics became the world's third-largest mobile phone manufacturer, and by 2007 rose to the No. 2 ranking of the global market.Cho Jin-ho, vice president of Samsung's Mobile Communication Division, noted: "Korea's mobile phones are far ahead of overseas mobile phones, in terms of technology, including superior call quality and producing ultra-light and slim phones." He went on to add: "It also helps that Korean mobile producers were able to establish sustainable business strategies and have been quick to respond to changes in the global mobile communication market."Text Input TechnologyWhat kind of text input methods do mobile phones utilize? In today's market, Samsung Electronics' "Cheonjiin" (Heaven, Earth, and Human Hangeul) system and LG Electronics' "Naratgeul" (National Writing) system are the most popular text input methods for mobile phones, with the Samsung method being the leader with a 70 percent market share. For English users, the U.S. T9 text input method is the mainstream standard, but due to the characteristics of the English alphabet there has not been a need to develop a variety of input methods such as that for Hangeul.Mobile phone text input is a vital technology that generates some 720 billion won (about $625 million) of annual text-message revenue for mobile telecom providers. The scientific composition of Hangeul plays a key role in the mobile phone text-messaging business, while handset manufacturers believe that their text input method can bolster the market image of their products among consumers. And in fact, leading mobile phone makers have filed for patents to protect their proprietary input methods. In 1998, Samsung Electronics negotiated the rights for its system from its developer Choi In-chul and completed the patent registration process, while LG Electronics paid 1.0 billion won (about $870,000) for the usage rights of the "National Writing" system, which had been patented by the venture company Linguistic Science in 1999.In particular, the Samsung "Heaven, Earth, and Human" system attracted considerable attention for its use of minimal keys for writing vowels. The number of keys required for consonants could not be reduced any further, but this was not true for Hangeul vowels. Korean vowels are written with a combination of elements, so it is possible for the number of keys to be reduced if the structural principles are adjusted. As a result of such structural adjustments, all Hangeul vowels can be expressed through a combination of only three keys.Optimization of Input MethodsThe QWERTY keypad, similar to a computer keyboard, has only recently become a topic of debate, in response to the smartphone launch in Korea. However, in the regions of North America and Europe, where Social Networking Services (SNS) is an integral aspect of mobile communication, the QWERTY keypad has long been accepted as a cultural code for younger generation users in English-speaking countries, where longer text and mobile email messages are popular. In the mid 2000s, in an effort to address complaints from consumers in the North American market, who said it was too cumbersome to send text messages with only nine keys, LG Electronics decided to change the mobile phone text input method. With the volume of text messages practically doubling every year, mobile phone users demanded an easier input method so that they could send off messages and chat as if using a PC.Although various PDAs and smartphones had already installed the computer keyboard-style QWERTY keypad, there was no regular mobile phone with this feature. Even PDAs and smartphones were only used by a minority of consumers who were very familiar with IT gadgets. In response to this market void, LG Electronics developed a text message-friendly model, which came with a new QWERTY keypad, thus combining the advantages of a PDA with a mobile phone, which took the North American market by storm. The text-message phone market rapidly expanded around its core of younger generation users and businesspeople, with LG Electronics leading this sector with a wide array of innovative mobile phones, including those with touch-screen functions and a removable keypad, along with low-cost models.In the process of mass producing the QWERTY keypad-equipped mobile phones, much effort and research were focused on the physical design and on assuring operational reliability. Because this phone has many more keys than a regular touch-screen display, additional testing is required to ensure that the keypad is durable, easy to use, and responds quickly. Moreover, every application and widget of the phone needs to be designed and installed in horizontal and vertical modes. As such, a phone equipped with the QWERTY keypad presents a serious design challenge because it makes the phone thicker. The Optimus Q (LG LU2300), recently released by LG Electronics in Korea, is earning high praise for its slim 14.35-millimeter thickness, even when equipped with a QWERTY keypad, as well as the ease of use of its keypad and the speed at which it converts from horizontal-vertical mode.Russian President's PhoneMeanwhile, early this year it became known that the LG Electronics 3G (third generation) Touch Watch Phone (LG-GD910) was being used by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, thus confirming the global appeal of Korea's mobile phones. This model includes Internet and video-call capability, along with featuring a touch screen that measures 1.43 inches, about one-half the size of a regular mobile phone screen. Even when the LCD screen is turned off, the clock function is visible in sunlight or indoor lighting.A number of technology innovations were necessary to create a 3G phone capable of offering video calling on a pocket-size device, which included the integrated circuitry for projecting sharp images on a small touch screen. The mobile phone model developed by LG can thus be regarded as an optimal integration of technology and design, which combines miniaturization technology with high-density instrument design. The phone features a 1.43-inch full-function touch screen that enables users to easily make calls and input text, along with time and alarm options, all at your fingertips. It also includes a simple voice-recognition function that allows users to initiate calls by voice command, as well as a TTS (Text-To-Speech) input method.Mobile-related PatentsAs the development of technology for next-generation mobile phones accelerates, the competition for relevant patents is intensifying as well. Samsung Electronics, which announced its goal of capturing the No. 1 world ranking in 2010, has been the most active in patent filings. Since 1998, Samsung Electronics has applied for 12,000 mobile phone-related patents in Korea, and another 25,000 abroad. In order to lead the way in the 4G (fourth generation) and mobile Internet standards, it has invested heavily in R&D efforts, which has resulted in some 100 Samsung Electronics technologies being selected as standards for the 3G and 4G mobile phones. Currently, Samsung Electronics has applied for some 3,000 mobile communication patents in 27 countries.As for LG Electronics, it is focusing on patents related to MPEG4 video technology and user interface. It has thus applied for a large number of patents related to the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) and 3GPP2 specifications for 3G mobile communications, of which several patents have already been issued. LG also intends to pursue patents related to new technology for improving the quality of handsets and multimedia applications. LG Electronics has applied for 1,800 patents related to mobile phone technology in Korea and another 12,000 abroad. Pantech has also applied for about 4,000 patents in Korea.LG Electronics has announced its plans to become the global leader in LTE (long-term evolution), a 4G mobile communications technology. Choi Go-Hee, head of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Technology Research Lab., explains: "In the field of LTE, which has been widely adopted as the 4G mobile communications standard, LG Electronics is developing the world's first technology in various areas and producing handsets, thereby establishing a broad foundation to become one of the world's premier telecom enterprises."Under 4G mobile communications, the next generation of mobile technology, it will be possible to attain transmission speeds of 1 Gbps, while stationary, and 100 Mbps, while on the move at over 60 kph. This is 50 times faster than the transmission speed possible with WCDMA, while moving, and ten times faster than the fastest landline networks. With the 4G system, users will be able to download a 700 MB film in less than a minute.TechIPm, a mobile communication consulting firm in the United States, reported that, of all the patents submitted to the U.S. Patent Office and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) in the past year (as of May 2010), 1,238 patents have been related to LTE. Of these patents, 134 are applicable to mobile phones, notebook PCs, and PDAs, and are likely to be adopted as standards for the 3GPP. LG Electronics has filed the most patent applications, at 40 (30%), while Qualcomm ranks second at 30 (22%), and Samsung Electronics is fifth at 14 (10%).Fashion AccessoryIn early 2004, at the Yeouido Twin Towers, the headquarters of the LG group, LG Electronics Mobile Communication Company President (then Vice President) An Seung-gwon received a surprise from Kim Ssang-su, CEO of LG Electronics, and Park Moon-hwa, CEO of the Mobile Communication Company. If the LG Electronics Mobile Communication Research Institute carried out its master plan to produce one truly innovative product each year, it would be exempt from the regular budget and product development status reports. This unconventional decision, difficult to imagine in any large-size corporation, where the reporting system is such a vital aspect of management, was the beginning of the "Chocolate Phone" secret project.The proposal for this secret project came from President An's own experiences. It was kept a secret because as more and more people get involved in a project, secrets begin to leak, and what may start out as an original product naturally becomes just like any other product as more and more suggestions are applied. In addition, he gave the task of designing the product not to a mobile phone designer but to an in-house music player design expert. He was able to take the design most appropriate to a mobile phone from a pool of concepts established in order to create an original portable audio device that would succeed in the competitive MP3 market, where design was key.The ultimate goal was to produce a phone that the consumer would want to immediately buy at first glance. For this, LG envisioned the world's slimmest model with a slide-top body, compact enough to fit easily in your shirt pocket. To accentuate the phone's smart and stylish appearance, its exterior was pure black, while the typical lines and product logo showed a minimalist approach. Of note, for the first time ever in a mobile phone, its entire surface functioned as a touchpad, such that any operation only needed the touch of your finger. Painstaking effort went into overcoming various design issues, as the touch-screen technology enabled a slimmer look, but the touch keys had to be rigorously tested for reliability and durability. Moreover, the designers sought to have the phone, which was all black when closed, to come alive with color images whenever open.From the initial planning, the Chocolate Phone project was carried out so that the product technology was developed to satisfy the designer's ideas. After developing the technology to adopt the original design concepts, the designer made the final call at each step of the development process. In this way, it was possible to achieve the project goal of creating an innovative phone that appealed to consumer sentiments through product design, thereby drastically altering buyer attitudes toward function-related mobile phones. This was the story behind the LG Electronics' launch of its "Black Label Series," in which the mobile phone was no longer simply an IT device, but a consumer product and fashion accessory as well. The Chocolate Phone completely changed the image of LG Electronics mobile phones, and it was sold in the most countries for the longest period of time, becoming the company's biggest seller at over 21 million units. Ultimate User ExperienceAn ability to use your smartphone to check the news and weather, along with having a map application to guide you to the site of the nearest discount store, and then being able to compare prices—this kind of mobile convenience is part of the "user experience" (UX). The evolution of UX thus enables smartphone users to enjoy the advantages of a mobile experience from the home to the workplace, and everywhere in between.In February 2010, at the Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona, Spain, Samsung Electronics unveiled its TouchWiz 3.0 interface, which is designed to facilitate social networking functions and multi-tasking UX. TouchWiz 3.0, which is featured in the Galaxy S, the mobile phone released on June 25 as Samsung's response to the iPhone, signals the user when a new message has been received, without disrupting any ongoing call or function. Another new feature is the integrated messaging service known as Social Hub. This function uses the mobile phone user's address book to manage information from webmail services and messenger services abroad, and to automatically post updates to Twitter, Facebook, and other social networking services. Email and chat can also be used directly with the address book. For users who utilize advanced applications, such as SNS, it can link together Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace services to the phone's address book and calendar, thereby optimizing the linkage to social networking services and appointment scheduling, at any time and place.The user can check the weather, stock market, breaking news, and other information on the regular screen, or utilize special widgets, such as Hybrid Clock and Info Alarm, for the combined display of various information. Chang Dong-hoon, senior vice president of the Samsung Electronics Mobile Communications Business, said: "TouchWiz 3.0 is Samsung's new UX design, offering easy and convenient functions for the regular user, together with a variety of functions for the advanced user." He went on to add: "We intend to upgrade the competitiveness of our smartphones through the application of a variety of functions that have been optimized for smartphones."Prada PhoneAs for Prada, whose name is synonymous with creative design, it is known for closely guarding the propriety of its creative processes in order to maximize the value of its design efforts. However, contrary to its secretive ways, Prada granted complete access to the Korean media, which inquired about the details of its collaborative project with LG Electronics for the development of the Prada Phone. Indeed, the openness of Prada was a reflection of its immense pride and satisfaction with the final product. LG and Prada unveiled their trend-setting Prada Phone in conjunction with the fashion week events of Milan, Italy, the traditional fashion center of the world. Founded in 1913 and now one of the top three designer labels in the world, Prada proudly unveiled the Prada Phone, which was designed and developed in cooperation with LG Electronics. The project partners carefully selected the retail stores and distribution networks as well. Among the more than 300 Prada retail outlets worldwide, only 20 outlets, with an exclusive image, were approved to market the product. In addition, about 300 top-tier department stores were selected as retailers of the Prada Phone.The Prada Phone reflects the distinctive and sophisticated design associated with the Prada brand. The phone's sleek form and elegant luster are highlighted by its deep black tone. The phone, without any raised number or function keys, features a 3-inch LCD touch screen that responds to a light touch of the finger for user operations. A bar-menu touch screen harmonizes with its stylish black form. Moreover, LG and Prada agreed not to promote their product through TV advertising, in an effort to enhance its aura as an exclusive luxury item that does not need the typical media exposure. The attention to detail also included the distribution of product display guidelines to the selected retail outlets.

With his headband wound tight over his blonde hair, Saugus cross country runner Alec Nelson came marching toward the finish line Thursday at Central Park in record time.
By the time the Centurion junior crossed the finish line, he immediately became a part of history in the second Foothill League meet this season.
With a blazing time of 15 minutes, 3 seconds, Nelson set a new course mark. It was part of Saugus' win this season, the second in league meets.
Nelson was not alone in breaking the old mark of 15:25 set last season by Jimmy Kelley of Hart, who now runs for Pepperdine University. Saugus teammate Brandon Jauregui was second (15:17), while Seth Totten of Golden Valley (15:25) tied it.
Nelson set his new record on the rolling, windy, 3.1-mile course along the outside part of Central Park.
"We were trying to go out and win as a team," Nelson said. "The course record was on my mind."
Saugus won the dual meet, in which every school was paired off against each other. Valencia came in second, followed by Golden Valley. Canyon finished fourth, Hart fifth and West Ranch sixth. The boys results were the exact same as the first league meet.
The Vikings, who hosted the meet, were without No. 2 runner Chris Hernandez, who one month ago quit the team in order to play club soccer.
"I'd challenge Saugus if I had Hernandez," Valencia head coach Pat Connelly said. "It was a very strong meet, there's a lot of talent on all of the teams."
Anthony Pizzo of Canyon finished fourth (15:44). Valencia sophomore Falco DiGallonardo (15:45) finished just ahead of Saugus' Joey Eledge (15:46) for fifth. Sam Peckham (15:54), the fastest Hart runner, was seventh. He was followed by Kevin Heinemann of Saugus (15:57), Austin Veiga of Valencia (16:01) and Thomas McGuan of Canyon (16:03).
The Saugus girls team, the defending CIF-SS girls champion that was second in the nation last season, scored a perfect league meet in the girls competition, with all six scoring runners following each other.
Centurion runner Kaylin Mahoney won the race with her new personal-record time of 17 minutes, 7 seconds. Brianna Jauregui finished second (17:20), Anne Randall was third (17:38), followed by Courtney Wilson (17:52), Keri Molt (17:53) and Amber Murakami sixth (17:55).
"It was good to run on this course," Mahoney said. "The big races are all coming up. We're all getting really focused for postseason."
Mahoney referred to the Mt. SAC Invitational on Oct. 25 in Walnut, the site of the CIF-SS Prelims and CIF Finals. The Foothill League Finals are on Nov. 6 at Castaic Lake.
Bailey Miller of West Ranch was the next runner, in seventh (17:59). After the first mile mark, she was third behind Mahoney and Jauregui.
"I always try to keep up with them," Miller said of the Centurions. "They're the motivation. We'll catch up with them one day."

MONTEVALLO, Alabama -- As the police investigation continues today into Monday night's shooting that severely injured a Montevallo woman, some in the southern Shelby County community are concerned about crime in the area and their own safety.
"I feel very unsafe. I don't like walking to my car," said Shelby McGilvray, a 19-year-old University of Montevallo sophomore who has lived in the city her entire life. "I feel safer walking around Birmingham city streets than walking around here with a group."
Montevallo Chief of Police Jeremy Littleton this morning said no arrests have been made into the shooting that happened at the Falcon Manor apartments on Overland Road at about 10:30 p.m. on Monday. He emphasized there is no threat to the community.
"This is an isolated incident that was just pertaining to that apartment," Littleton said, declining to disclose specifics about the ongoing investigation. "As far as a public safety issue or threat to the community stemming from this, there is no threat."
The shooting resulted in a head injury to Lauren George, who has been hospitalized since the incident. A Facebook page titled Prayers for Lauren George has been set up following the shooting. "We ask that you please lift her and her family in prayer. She is a daughter, sister and granddaughter that is loved dearly," the page states.
A page dedicated to George with updates about her condition has been established on the Caring Bridge website.
George's neighbor Allie Rollan was home when the shooting occurred. She heard a gunshot, which she thought was a firecracker. "There's eight inches of wall separating" her apartment from George's residence, Rollan, 24, said this morning.
Rollan, who spoke with George's boyfriend about the shooting, said the incident involved a robbery attempt by some people invited to George's apartment. The incident moved outside the apartment where George was shot, she was told.
"Naturally, I'm worried," said Rollan, who was home with her 2-year-old son and some others at the time of the shooting. "This increases my want to move."
Rollan said George would sometimes come over to her apartment, where Rollan has lived for two years. "She is always real nice and she would come over and hang out," said Rollan, who has lived in Montevallo off and on since 2008.
While Rollan doesn't believe there is a threat from "anyone running around Montevallo with a gun" following the shooting, she said people are concerned. "There's a worry. The girl next door to me is thinking about breaking her lease because of it," she said.
"I guess I do worry, too," Rollan added. "I think naturally if you hear a gunshot go off and something like that happens, it's so tragic and they're so young, too. It's sad."
Littleton said people in the area of the shooting should not be afraid. "That is probably one of the most heavily patrolled neighborhoods. That is one of our quietest neighborhoods," he said, noting a couple of burglaries that have occurred since November, "which is common."
"This shooting is something we know is definitely isolated to that apartment. We've got increased patrols in the area to ease people's minds," he said.
Montevallo's last fatal shooting was a couple of years ago at the College View Apartments, Littleton said, noting it was deemed self-defense and no charges resulted. "We have a shooting from time to time but as far as any serious injuries, it's been several years since we've had one," he said.
The shooting has become a topic on many people's minds in Montevallo. At the popular hangout Eclipse Coffee & Books on Main Street, employee Zach Gallman, 23, said, "There is concern, but I don't think it's scary."
"They already knew each other. It wasn't a random act of violence," Gallman said of the shooting. "I think the concern was mainly from the people that live on that street. ... It's been talked about a lot."
At the University of Montevallo, McGilvray said her friend was robbed in the area of the shooting around November. She also pointed to the incident involving dead cats displayed on the campus more than a year ago and a university teacher threatened.
"I can't even walk outside without feeling scared," she said. "I could probably die over my iPhone because somebody would shoot me over it."
Daniel Emery, a 27-year-old freshman at the university who lives in Alabaster, said about the shooting: "It opens up the perspective it could happen anywhere."
But is Montevallo unsafe? "No, it's not like it happens every day," Emery said.
Phil Hurst, who owns the Blue Phrog Gallery and Falcon Art Supply on Main Street, said people should be more concerned about break-ins that have happened in town. "There have been break-ins all over the place in that neighborhood," he said.
People should not be afraid in Montevallo, Hurst said. "We've got a police force that's very good," he said. "I have got all the faith in the world for Jeremy Littleton."
His wife, Suzanne Hurst, said it's understandable why people would be concerned following the shooting. "People, I think, they just get uneasy because there is so much there and they don't know what's going on," she said. "I think the minute the news stops, then all of it will settle down."

Altoona Area school board President Ryan Beers said a closed door executive session was scheduled for Monday evening so the board could be briefed on the status of its investigation of administrative salary increases that apparently took effect without board approval.
"We will know much more as it pertains to the investigation [today]," he said. "But I don't expect a decision from the board in terms of any action that may be taken."
The board has a regular meeting at 5:30 p.m. today in the William P. Kimmel board room in the high school. It isn't clear whether results from Solicitor Dave Andrews' investigation will be discussed.
In January, the board launched an investigation into at least six administrative salary increases amounting to tens of thousands of dollars that seemed to have been given through the superintendent's office.
Andrews, who is conducting the investigation, said an interview with Superintendent Dennis Murray was central to completing his investigation, which commenced in January. Andrews said he was scheduled late last week to interview Murray, who has been recovering from shoulder surgery since the time the investigation started.
Andrews did not return a message on Monday for more information concerning the interview.
Murray retained the services of Pittsburgh attorney Efrem Grail, who has maintained Murray's innocence and demanded the district pay Murray's legal fees.
Grail did not return a call regarding the cost of Murray's legal representation, but Murray's contract provides that the board assume responsibility for payment of costs incurred by him in his defense only if the board finds him innocent after conducting a specific procedure outlined in Public School Code section 1122.
According to Murray's contract, for the district to be liable for his legal costs, the school board must seek Murray's dismissal and furnish him with a detailed written statement of charges upon which his proposed dismissal is based.
Then, under school code, the board must conduct a hearing, where Murray would be given an opportunity to be heard either in person or by counsel, or both. Following a hearing, a two-thirds majority vote would be required for Murray's dismissal, according to Andrews.
"No discussions have taken place regarding action that could be taken because we haven't met with Attorney Andrews yet," Beers said. "We will have a better idea of where things stand later this week."
"Any action the board takes will be based off of [Andrews'] investigation that is being conducted on behalf of the district," he said.
Meanwhile, an audit of the district by the Auditor General that has been in progress parallel to Andrews' investigation is apparently ongoing.
"The audit is still in progress, and there is no time frame for when the audit will be done," Barry Ciccocioppo, Auditor General communications director and press secretary, said last week.

Event Offers a Celebration of Cultures
Penn State York celebrated its ninth annual Unity Day on Wednesday, April 11 with a variety of activities. Students, faculty, staff and members of the York community gathered to celebrate diversity in the Community Room of the Joe and Risoe Ruhl Student Community Center. Table displays included items from a variety of cultures and, as usual, the food tables provided a variety of cuisine from around the world that reflected the origin or ancestry of faculty, staff and students. Unity Day at Penn State York is the culmination of the work of the campus Diversity Committee, which includes students, faculty and staff. A variety of multicultural events have been planned throughout the year to provide a forum for the campus and community to learn about diversity. Goals for Unity Day include creating teachable moments to learn about diversity and to provide an opportunity for the campus and community to suggest ways Penn State can create a multicultural environment. Unity Day is sponsored in part by the Penn State York Student Government Association and the campus Diversity Committee.

Get the selected text from an FCKEditor instance
Posted April 7th, 2009 in FCKEditor
Getting the selection as plain text
The FCKEditor API Documentation has a section which is titled "Working with the selection in the editor: Use the Selection Object" but then it doesn't appear to document the selection object anywhere. I did a bit of searching and came up with the following solution that uses a combination of the selection object and other Javascript functions.
The parameter "instance_name" is the name of the FCKeditor instance.
function get_selection_plain(instance_name) { var oFCKeditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance(instance_name); var selection = (oFCKeditor.EditorWindow.getSelection ? oFCKeditor.EditorWindow.getSelection() : oFCKeditor.EditorDocument.selection); if(selection.createRange) { var text = selection.createRange().text; } else { var text = selection; } return text; }
The createRange test is needed to make sure the code works in both Internet Explorer and in other browsers. IE uses the selection.createRange() part and other browsers use the other part.
If the current selection in the FCKEditor contained the following HTML:

This is line 1

This is line 2
 This a line break in line 2

This is line 3

In Firefox, Safari (tested on Windows only) and Chrome the value returned should be this:
This is line 1 This is line 2 This a line break in line 2 This is line 3
In Internet Explorer it will be this:
This is line 1 This is line 2 This a line break in line 2 This is line 3
In Opera (tested on 9.64) it will run it all one line like this:
This is line 1This is line 2This a line break in line 2This is line 3
but if you click the "Source" button and click it again to go back to the HTML editor then it will show it as Firefox does.
So although it is easy enough get the text selection, the formatting will not be consistent across browsers. It would therefore pay to use this function with caution.

General Information
What is cultural heritage management? answer
Cultural heritage managers have the job of looking after heritage places so that everyone can enjoy them and their heritage significance is recognised and preserved. Cultural heritage managers are often (but not always) consultants, who work with the government, with developers, or with anyone involved in work that might affect archaeological sites. Most cultural heritage management jobs are available in areas where there is lots of development or construction.
What kind of field experience does the Archaeology Department offer students? answer
The Department offers a wide range of field experience to all students. Graduate students can take part in field methods topics and field schools (the Maritime Archaeology Program, for example, offers a two week field school each year in February and Masters Classes in particular techniques during both semesters). Masters student projects, PhD projects and staff projects continually supply students with field work opportunities, and internships (paid and unpaid) are generally offered each year through the Master of Maritime Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Management Programs. Undergraduates can gain field experience through participation in field topics and field schools and through volunteer work on other projects. For more information about field work at Flinders see our Fieldwork web pages.
Getting a Job in Archaeology
Are there any jobs in archaeology? answer
Lots! Although you may not find them in the newspaper, there are lots of jobs available in Australia and overseas in archaeology.
What kind of job can I get? answer
Most jobs in archaeology relate to the field of cultural heritage management - also called contract, or consulting, archaeology. Other jobs can be found in museums, in government departments, or in universities.
How do I get a job in archaeology? answer
You need a minimum of 4 years (a three year undergraduate degree in archaeology, and a one year Honours degree) to be considered qualified as a professional archaeologist. Other qualifications, such as a Graduate Diploma in Cultural Heritage Management, may be considered equivalent to Honours, as long as their focus is on archaeology.
Further Study in Archaeology
How do I get a PhD? answer
You need a first class or IIA Honours degree to gain admission into a PhD. If you want a job in a university you should also get as much teaching experience as you can.
How do I get into Honours? answer
How do I get into the Maritime Archaeology Program, Master of CHM or the Master of Archaeology program? answer
Where can I find the application to apply to the graduate programs? answer
Can I apply to a graduate program if I don't have a degree in archaeology? answer
Yes. Many of our students come from allied fields, such as history, anthropology or classics. Still others come from completely different fields, such as law, but are interested in archaeology as a life long passion, or as a new career direction. The graduate program in archaeology, in particular, has been designed as a generalist program for students who may never have studied archaeology before. We encourage all applications, regardless of the focus of your previous degree. To find out the backgrounds of our current students, see: http://www.flinders.edu.au/ehl/archaeology/postgrad-programs/by-coursework/pg-in-chm/students.cfm, http://www.flinders.edu.au/ehl/archaeology/postgrad-programs/by-coursework/pg-in-arch/current-students.cfm and http://www.flinders.edu.au/ehl/archaeology/postgrad-programs/by-coursework/pg-in-maritime-arch/students.cfm.
I don't live in Adelaide. Can I study by distance learning? answer
Only if you are a graduate student. In all three graduate programs many topics are available both as face-to-face topics for students who live in Adelaide and as fully distance learning packages for external students. Not all topics are offered externally, though, particularly field methods or other 'hands-on' topics. Most of these are available as intensives instead so that distance students can participate.
What are the student fees for the graduate programs? answer
Information about fees can be found online at: http://www.flinders.edu.au/fees/. If you have questions about fees, please email: Ask Flinders
Do I need to know what field of study or research project I would like to conduct in order to apply for the graduate programs? answer
No, you don't need to know or identify your specific research project. The Department of Archaeology teaching staff have a wide range of research interests and ongoing projects. Once you are accepted into the program we will work with you to choose an area of research that suits you and the Department. If you are particularly interested in a topic and would like to discuss this with a member of the Department, we'd be happy to talk to you about the possibilities.
Should I turn in letters of recommendation or reference with my application for graduate study? answer
Letters of recommendation or reference are not compulsory but they are highly recommended. You can send them in with your application or directly to the Postgraduate coordinator of the program. These letters simply help us make a better informed decision on your application and can act as a supplement for particularly low transcripts or marks.
I'm Interested, But ...
Can I get work experience in the department? answer
Yes. The department regularly hosts work experience students from high schools around Adelaide.
For details regarding school work experience in the Department please go here
Can I volunteer for an archaeological dig? answer
Sometimes you can, but only large projects will ask for volunteers. Check the Volunteer Opportunities web page to see if any volunteer opportunities are available."
I've found something in my backyard-can you come and dig it up? answer
All excavation in South Australia requires a permit from the State Government before any excavation can happen, so we can't just come and dig anything up. We can come and look at things for you to see if it really is an archaeological site or relic, although this will depend on whether someone is available. Contact the office on 82012385 to find out and download the Archaeology in My Backyard information sheet. (PDF 93KB)
Do I need to be a certified SCUBA diver to apply to the maritime archaeology program? answer
YES, you need to be a certified SCUBA diver to apply to the maritime program. Some very rare exceptions have been made for people with medical conditions that prevent SCUBA diving. If you have questions about the qualifications for diving at Flinders, please see our Diving Requirements web page.
What requirements are there for being able to dive at Flinders? answer
The Flinders University Diving Requirements are comprehensive and can be found on our Diving Requirements web page.
Now that I'm in a Graduate Program ...
I am a Graduate Student - Can I have an office? answer
Not immediately. Office space is severely limited in the all of the north ridge buildings (Humanities, Social Sciences North and Social Sciences South), and we do mean severely (i.e. there is not enough offices for all staff, let alone postgrads). However, all is not lost. All archaeology graduate students are entitled to use of the map room (in the Humanities building on the courtyard level in Room H109) and the Research Lab (in Social Sciences South in Room SSS142), both of which hold computers, published resources, drawing equipment and other resources.
How do I get access to the Archaeology Department's facilities (postgraduate, Graduate and Honours students only)? answer
Both the map room and the Research Lab are only accessible by swipe-card access (i.e. via the electronic strip on your student card) which requires you to fill out a small form obtainable from Wendy Hill (the administrative assistant for the School of Humanities). If you would like access to either of these rooms fill out a form and return it to Wendy Hill in Room 202a in the Humanities building. She will then arrange with security for your swipe-card access to be activated. Before you are granted unlimited access to the archaeology research lab, however, you will also need to do a short induction given by the Technical Officer. This is an Occupational Health and Safety requirement more than anything else and won't take up too much of your time.
Is there special support available to International Graduate students? answer
Yes. Flinders University offers bursaries to selected sponsored international students undertaking postgraduate studies either at the Masters or PhD level. The bursaries can be used to cover such things as:
- Assistance with English Language training
- Enrolment in the Introductory Academic Program
- Conference funding
- Assistance for family relocation
- Set up costs and establishment fees
As a Graduate student, can I find or set up my own practicum or internship? answer
Yes. Although all practicum and internship placements must be approved by the topic co-ordinator prior to enrolment, if you have an idea for a placement and are prepared to do some of the work to set it up, we will take your suggestion seriously. Please contact Dr Alice Gorman for more information.

Last May, NBC cancelled Rock Center with Brian Williams which left Dateline as the network's only newsmagazine series. Will they introduce another or stick with Dateline for a 23rd (!) season? Seems highly unlikely that they'd cancel this one but you never know. Stay tuned!
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show's likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

9/20 update: You can see the latest night's ratings in context.
Note: If you're not seeing the updated charts, please try reloading the page. You can also see them here.
For comparisons: The 21st season of Dateline averaged a 1.3 rating in the demo and 5.16 million viewers.
Note: These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an "*"). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you still like the Dateline TV series? Would you like to see it cancelled or renewed for a 23rd season?


text: With its vast medieval heritage, Doncaster was originally founded on fascinating historical features, but although the town still embraces its olde-worlde charm, it has since matured into a modern lively borough. Visiting the central monuments are a must, but exploring outside of Doncasters busy centre is equally as gratifying. Driving out further than the town, youll be greeted with a mixture of unspoilt spaces and exciting nature reserves. Car hire from Doncaster Airport gives you much more freedom when planning your trip, and it means youll get to experience the real Doncaster. From museums, to exciting performances, sports and the outdoors hiring a car in Doncaster allows you to experience all these exciting activities at your own pace.

Joey is a 4-year-old boy who was placed in the care of the Department of Social Services because of physical neglect. He entered an emergency shelter with his three brothers, ages 3, 8 and 10, as all of them were in need of a safe place to call home.

To donate to the Good Cheer Fund, go to goodcheerfund.com. For more stories, go to postand courier.com/goodcheer.
When Joey arrived in care, he immediately needed multiple dental surgeries. He managed to come away from that experience with a smile on his face and his enthusiastic personality intact.
Some days, Joey still faces hurdles with temper tantrums. Those outbursts have become more and more limited, however, as he has made great strides through the soothing encouragement from caring adults at the shelter.
Joey also started school for the first time this year and is improving in the classroom. He loves to ride his bicycle and enjoys playing with his brothers and other children at the shelter. Joey fills the house with lots of energy and plans to ask Santa for a train set this Christmas.
Your donation can help a Good Cheer Fund agency make holiday dreams come true for Joey, his brothers and other children like them in the Lowcountry.
Contributions to The Post and Couriers Good Cheer Fund have helped the less fortunate in the Tri-County area since 1927. The six charitable organizations sharing the funds collected are the Lowcountry Food Bank, the Salvation Army, Star Gospel Mission, the Association for the Blind, Coastal Catholic Charities and Carolina Youth Development Center. Every cent of the money goes directly to the agencies, as there are no administrative costs involved.
