Choose a Non-Degree Program
Non-degree learning opportunities are a great way to grow in your faith and skills. You can pursue a certificate, take individual classes, or even audit a course. In some cases the classes you take can be applied to a degree program, should you decide to head in that direction. Each of these opportunities provides access to our top-quality faculty and the rich, interactive atmosphere of a graduate-level learning experience.
Online classes are offered throughout the year in theology and biblical studies. Courses vary from six to twelve weeks in duration and require weekly interaction with the professor and peers through discussion forums, collaborative activities, and chat. Students in the master of divinity or master of arts programs may take up to 30% of their program online.
Certificate in Christian Counseling (CCC)
The Certificate in Christian Counseling program provides an opportunity for those in a wide range of ministry service to bring current counseling skills to their ministries that will help people to grow and change. In addition to those who wish to examine the possibility of a future MA in Counseling degree, others who will benefit include pastors, church leaders, pregnancy counseling volunteers, crisis hotliners, educators, those in a social service environment, and anyone with a desire to explore counseling from a biblical perspective.
Certificate in Missional Theology
The Certificate in Missional Theology (CMT) was created to be a tool to assist missional Christians who desire to enhance their awareness of how they are a part of the mission of God to bring righteousness, justice, and peace to those they serve. Courses are taught for application to ministry. The certificate offers each student the opportunity to interact and converse with both faculty and fellow students in the program, enhancing both intellectual and vocational growth.
Certificate in Biblical Studies
The Certificate in Biblical Studies is an excellent way for non-professionals and professionals to strengthen their biblical foundation for Christian life and ministry. The certificate may also meet the requirements of mission boards for candidates who do not have a formal biblical education, and for Christian school teachers who need continuing education.
Certificate in Advanced Pastoral Studies
The Certificate in Advanced Pastoral Studies is designed for students who have completed a graduate ministerial degree (e.g., MDiv, MA in Ministry) OR students who have completed an academic MA in religious studies and who have at least 3 years of church pastoral staff experience. Qualified students who wish to continue their studies at the completion of the certificate may apply for the Doctor of Ministry program by fulfilling all of the DMin program admission requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I simply attend one course?
Yes. An auditor may attend one or more classes for personal enrichment without receiving academic credit. The auditing student may participate in class functions at the discretion of the instructor, but will not be held accountable for tests or assignments.
Students may audit any course at Biblical except Greek and Hebrew language courses and MAC Courses (unless the specific course has already been completed for credit). In addition, students may not audit a class and subsequently pursue advanced standing (with or without credit; e.g., credit by examination) for the same class.
Students may sign up to audit a class at any point in the term (the audit fee remains the same). Those who wish to change from audit to credit must do so before the end of the first week of classes.
Do you offer any courses online?
Yes. Several of the classes within each degree program are offered online. The only exception is the Master of Arts in Counseling (MAC) degree program, which does not offer any courses online. However, many of the CAPC classes are available online. We also have two online certificates in the following areas:
- Urban Missional Studies: A certificate for students who are seeking to be or who are currently involved in urban ministry and desire graduate level education that will equip them to make an impact in their urban context.
- Missional Theology: A certificate specifically designed for students who want graduate-level studies in missionally theology but are not currently pursuing a seminary degree.

Six Flags Over Texas is investigating after a woman fell from its Texas Giant roller coaster and died late last week. Here's a look at other horrific amusement park accidents through the years:
Haunted Castle (1984) -- Eight teens are trapped and killed when this haunted house attraction at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey caught fire. Multiple fire departments were called in to extinguish the inferno, which injured seven others.
Rivers of America (1973 and 1983) -- In 1973, two brothers stayed on Disneyland's Tom Sawyer's Island past closing time and attempted to swim back by crossing the Rivers of America attraction. The older brother, 18, drowned while trying to carry his 10-year-old brother on his back. In 1983, an 18-year-old man drowned while trying to pilot a rubber emergency boat from Tom Sawyer's Island that he and a friend had stolen.
Giant Dipper (1923) -- A 16-year-old named Sam Joelson is killed when he stood up while riding the Giant Dipper roller coaster at Ocean Park Pier in California and fell to his death.
Matterhorn (1964 and 1984) -- In 1964, a 15-year-old boy died after he stood up on this Disneyland ride and fell out. Twenty years later, a woman was killed when she fell from her seat and was hit by an oncoming car.
Batman: The Ride (2008) -- A teenager jumps the fence of this ride at Six Flags Over Georgia to retrieve his hat and is decapitated in the process.
Superman: Tower of Power (2007) -- As riders ascended Superman: Power of Tower at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom, a cable snapped, whipped around and severed a 13-year-old girl's feet.
Skybucket (1975) -- One of the gondolas slipped off its cable and plummeted 50 feet into the Six Flags Magic Mountain amusement park in Valencia, Calif., killing one of the two occupants.
Roaring Rapids (1999) -- At Six Flags Over Texas, a woman drowns on the Roaring Rapids ride when an inflatable boat deflated and overturned in 2 to 3 feet of water, trapping her underneath.
Rolling Thunder (1981) -- An employee at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey falls to his death during a Rolling Thunder test ride. According to the park, he "may have assumed an unauthorized riding position that did not make use of the safety feature of the restraining devices."
Mini Himalaya (1996) -- Part of an 8-year-old girl's scalp is ripped off when her hair gets caught in a motor behind her seat on the Mini Himalaya ride at the now-closed Bonkers 19 amusement park in Weymouth, Mass.
Superman: Ride of Steel (2004) -- A man is thrown from the final turn of this ride at Six Flags New England in Massachusetts, hitting the rail and falling to the ground below. He is pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
Lightnin' Loops (1987) -- A girl not strapped into her shoulder harness properly falls to her death on this roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey.
Revolution (1996) -- An employee at Six Flags Magic Mountain in California slipped while trying to cross the tracks of the Revolution roller coaster, falling into a four-foot pit under the tracks. She was killed when the coaster struck her.
Joker's Jukebox (2003) -- A grandmother helping strap her 4-year-old grandson into this ride at Six Flags New Orleans is killed after it suddenly started and one of the ride cars struck her in the head.

Many Oahu drivers are aware of the island's pothole problems and splintering streets. Some want the rough roads repaved, but city leaders hope new techniques they are evaluating will make streets smoother while extending the life of well-traveled roads.
Cars passing in front of Tyronne Temanaha's Honolulu home have to swerve to avoid potholes and broken patches of pavement.
"I am a person that doesn't like potholes, so let's try to fix this," said Temanaha.
Temanaha isn't the only one who wants action to take place on our streets.
"Roads complaints are, by far, the number one complaint I've gotten over the past two-and-a-half years," said Honolulu City Councilman Stanley Chang.
To help smooth out the rage over Oahu's roads, city leaders are evaluating various pavement preservation techniques.
By sealing cracks, water won't get underneath the roads and turn them into bumpy boulevards.
"You have to have a truck or something to ride over these roads, all the little cars are getting beat up," said Honolulu resident Batchelor Tukumoeatu.
The city spent $1 million dollars to test the various road coatings, which cover up cracks and claim to make streets last longer. There are also new techniques that claim to keep the streets from coming apart in the first place.
A product called a fog seal adds asphalt to aging roads and reportedly extends the life of streets by one to three years.
This year, $100 million will be spent on road repairs. But, some want to spend more of that money on preventative maintenance to keep roads from cracking open, which could end up costing more.
"Instead of spending $1 million a lane mile to reconstruct a terrible road, we can spend a tenth of that or less to do these periodic upgrades and keep these roads good forever," said Chang.
That would mean more road maintenance work, but it could get rid of many potholes problem areas.
"The hope is to get roads in need of repair tended to early and save reconstruction for the roads that cannot be repaired," said Honolulu Mayor Peter Carlisle.
While the city evaluates the effectiveness of the new sealing techniques, it will also undergo a pavement management program, which inventories all roads and their condition to see where the new treatments should be used.

How do I declare the Accounting, Business, or Entrepreneurship & Innovation minor?
You can watch an instructional video about declaring here:
The Accounting, Business, and Entrepreneurship & Innovation minors are open to all UC San Diego students from any major or college. Please consult with your college academic advisor before declaring a minor in order to ensure that you will not exceed the maximum unit limitation by pursuing a minor.
You can declare the Accounting, Business, or Entrepreneurship & Innovation minor using the Major/Minor tool on Tritonlink. The minors are listed as "M070- Accounting," "M074- Business," and "M077 - Entrepreneurship & Innovation." There is no application process and you can declare at any time. You do not need to declare before you start taking the classes. When asked for the subject code, use "MGT." For the institution, use UC San Diego (or the name of the community college if you took a course there). For course code, list the course number (for example 5, 131A, 131B, etc.). For the business minor electives, you should list the electives you plan to take. List all of the classes you have taken toward the minor and all of the classes you still plan to take for the minor. However, you may change your electives later on and do not need department approval to do so.
Sample Business Minor Declaration Form
Sample Accounting Minor Declaration Form
Sample Entrepreneurship & Innovation Minor Declaration Form
A maximum of two lower division classes can be applied toward the minor. Students must take all required classes for a letter grade, earn a C- or better, and earn an overall minor GPA of 2.0 or better to satisfy the minor requirements.
Note: Students pursuing the International Studies - International Business major cannot declare a Business Minor or the Entrepreneurship & Innovation Minor. Too many classes in those minors overlap with the major. However, students can declare the Accounting Minor while pursuing the International Studies - International Business major.
Which is better, an accounting minor, business minor, or an entrepreneurship & innovation minor?
One minor is not better than the other – how you intend to use your degree is a more important consideration. Use the Career Services Center as a resource when considering your career path.
Can I take classes for my minor Pass/No Pass?
No. All courses taken for the Rady undergraduate minors must be taken for a letter grade. Students must earn at least a C- in each course used for the minor.
For the Business Minor, you may take MGT3/MATH10A/MATH20A Pass/No Pass to fulfill the math prerequisite for MGT181 Enterprise Finance. However, you should first ensure that you do not need to take this course for a letter grade for a major or general education requirement.
Does a D count as a passing grade for my minor?
Passing is considered a C- (C minus) or better. Grades of D or F are not accepted for the minor. However, a "D" grade will allow you to count that course as a prequisite. For example, if you receive a "D" in MGT131A Intermediate Accounting A, you can continue on to take MGT131B Intermediate Accounting B. However, you will need to retake and pass MGT131A with a C- or better before you graduate in order to complete the minor.
Can I apply MGT45 toward my accounting minor?
No. MGT45 Principles of Accounting cannot be considered an adequate substitute for ECON4/MGT4 and MGT5 and cannot be applied toward the accounting minor. MGT45 is suitable for business minors only.
What accounting class should I take first?
It is highly recommended that students begin the accounting minor sequence with MGT4/ECON4: Financial Accounting and then take MGT5: Managerial Accounting.
Can I overlap classes to fulfill both my major or general education and minor requirements?
Lower-division classes can apply to both your major and your minor. Starting in Fall 2016, a maximum of two upper-division courses (up to 8 units) can apply to both your major and your minor. Changes will not take effect until the Fall 2016 quarter starts.
Will courses taken at community college count toward the minors?
We will accept lower division course work from community colleges. For information about equivalent courses from community colleges, please visit www.assist.org. This website shows which courses at your community college are equivalent to specific courses here at UC San Diego. Please note that you should search under "Accounting: Rady School of Management" or "Business: Rady School of Management."
If you took accounting classes at your community college and wish to apply them toward the business minor, but do not see them listed under "Business Minor," check under "Accounting Minor" to see if they are listed there. If your courses are equivalent to ECON4 Financial Accounting and MGT5 Managerial Accounting, you have met the accounting requirement for the business minor.
We do not accept online courses for Rady minor credit.
If I study abroad, can I apply the courses I complete toward my minor?
Students may take classes abroad and apply them toward their minor, so long as they are deemed equivalent to Rady classes. Before studying abroad, submit your Academic Planning form to Rady's advising department along with course descriptions or syllabi from the courses you would like to apply toward your minor. Allow approximately one to two weeks for review and approval.
Upon return, and once your coursework appears on your Academic History on Tritonlink, you will need to submit an Undergraduate Student Petition (http://registrar.ucsd.edu/StudentLink/Undergrad_Petition.pdf) and course syllabus for each class you want to apply toward your minor for approval. Additional documentation such as papers or exams may be requested.
Note that Rady accepts a maximum of two transfer courses to be applied toward a minor (this includes lower division courses transferred from a community college).
Can my Academic Internship Program class count toward my minor?
Yes, with department approval, a business-related Academic Internship (AIP197) course can count as 1 business minor elective. For department approval, submit your AIP Learning Agreement Form to the advising office or to email@example.com for approval after your faculty advisor has signed it. A maximum of 1 AIP197 class can be applied toward the business minor.
No accounting minor or entrepreneurship & innovation minor credit is given for Academic Internship courses.
Find more information about the AIP program here: http://aip.ucsd.edu/ and you can read more about AIP197 classes for business minor credit here.
Can I do more than one minor at Rady?
Yes, students may double minor in Accounting and Business. Econ/MGT 4: Financial Accounting and MGT 5: Managerial Accounting may be applied toward both minors. However, upper-division courses may not overlap. Please consult with your college academic advisor before declaring either minor in order to ensure that you will not exceed the maximum unit limitation by pursuing two minors.
Also, students may double minor in Accounting and Entrepreneurship & Innovation.
However, students cannot double minor in Business and Entrepreneurship & Innovation. Too many classes overlap in these minors.
Can I major in International Studies - International Business and get a minor at Rady?
Students majoring in International Studies - International Business cannot minor in business or entrepreneurship & innovation. However, IS-IB majors can earn a minor in accounting.
Can business minors take MGT187: Venture Capital Finance?
Students pursuing the business minor cannot use MGT187: Venture Capital Finance as a business minor elective. Also, MGT187 cannot replace MGT181: Enterprise Finance in the business minor.
Certified Public Accountant (CPA)
Where can I get more information about the CPA exam and the requirements?
The California CPA licensure requirements changed on January 1st, 2014. All current students planning to pursue their CPA license will need to meet the new requirements. Review the CPA Licensing Handbook published by the California Board of Accountancy for information for first–time applicants.
CPA Educational Requirements
- Education required to take CPA exam:
- 36 Quarter Units – Accounting Subjects
- 36 Quarter Units – Business-related Subjects
- Bachelor's Degree
- Education required to attain CPA license:
- 30 Quarter Units – Accounting Study
- 15 Quarter Units – Ethics Study
- Overall total of 225 quarter units of education
- 1 Year Work Experience
- Pass CPA Exam
Find specific information about subjects required under the education requirements on the CPA Board's Tip Sheet. While reviewing the tip sheet, note that semester and quarter units are weighed differently(semester units x 1.5 = quarter units). More information about meeting the CPA educational requirements can be found on the "CPA Guide" page of Rady's Accounting Minor site.
What portions of the CPA Education requirements can I satisfy at UCSD?
Find specific information about subjects required under the education requirements on the CPA Board's Tip Sheet. While reviewing the tip sheet, note that semester and quarter units are weighed differently(semester units x 1.5 = quarter units).
24 semester/ 36 quarter units of Accounting - The accounting minor + the two optional accounting electives (MGT133 and MGT134) will satisfy this portion of the requirements.
24 semester/ 36 quarter units of Business - Business classes offered at Rady and many classes offered by Economics, Communication, Computer Science and Engineering, Mathematics and other departments at UC San Diego will satisfy this portion of the requirements.
20 semester/ 30 quarter additional units of Accounting – A portion of these requirements may be met by completing additional business subject courses, other courses relevant to business, academic internships or independent studies. However, a minimum of 6 semester/ 9 quarter units must be in accounting subjects. UCSD does not offer sufficient accounting courses to meet this portion of the requirements. Additional course work can be completed by obtaining a Masters Degree in Accounting, by taking additional courses at a community college or at a continuing education program such as UCSD Extension.
10 semester/ 15 quarter units of Ethics - Rady offers two ethics courses: MGT16 Personal Ethics at Work and MGT166 Business Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility (4 quarter units each). Additional courses may be offered by other departments at UCSD, or at a community college or at a continuing education program such as UCSD Extension.
150 semester /225 quarter overall units of education - UCSD has a maximum unit limitation of 200 for most students. Speak with your college advisor to determine what your unit limit is.
There is no course overlap permitted between sections.
Can you tell me which classes I've taken meet the CPA Education Requirements?
Unfortunately, the State Board does not publish a list which shows which college courses are approved to satisfy their requirements and will not discuss an applicant's coursework unless they have a current application on file. Each applicant must use their best judgment to determine whether their courses meet the CPA board's requirements before applying.
Enrolling in Rady Courses
How do I sign up for Rady undergraduate courses?
Use WebReg on TritonLink to sign up. Our courses have the tag "MGT" in front of them.
Who can take Rady's undergraduate courses?
The Rady School is a department within UC San Diego. Though Rady's graduate/MBA program has a separate admission process, our undergraduate courses are open to all UC San Diego undergrads. In order to enroll in undergraduate business classes offered at the Rady School, you would first need to be accepted by the University of California, San Diego. For more information about UC San Diego Admission, please visit https://tritonlink.ucsd.edu/portal/site/prospective-students/.
I am on a waitlist for a class. What are my chances of enrolling?
The enrollment and waitlist system at UCSD is completely automated and we cannot predict your chances of getting a seat. We cannot allow more students to enroll than there are chairs in the classroom, so the enrollment capacity cannot be increased. The waitlists shut down Thursday of the 2nd full week of classes at 10PM. If you do not get a seat, Friday of the 2nd week of classes is your last day to enroll in another class that does not have a waitlist. Rady does not allow late adds after the 2nd week of class.
I'm having problems registering for a Rady (MGT) class because of prerequisites, but I know I have completed them. What can I do?
There may be problems with the enrollment system recognizing your prerequisite courses and we may be able to help. E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com and include your name, PID#, and the class(es) for which you are having problems registering. Instructors cannot help you enroll.
Do you allow EAP Student enrollment?
We welcome EAP Students in Rady courses so long as they meet the prerequisites (if any). That said, WebReg may prevent EAP students from enrolling in our courses due to the upper division (junior/senior) standing requirement. Students who wish to enroll in Rady courses should email email@example.com for preauthorization. Please be sure to include your PID number and section IDs for the courses you wish to take.
How do I purchase a course reader?
- 1. Visit universityreaders.com/students.

If you have any difficulties, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com or call 800.200.3908.
Does Rady accept late-add cards?
No. All UCSD students must register online via WebReg by Friday of Week 2 (the add deadline).
OSD Accommodations
What are the procedures if I am registered with the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD)?
You must present the OSD Authorization for Accommodation (AFA) form in person to the Undergraduate Advising Office within the first two weeks of the quarter.

Rady School of Management Programs
Is there a business major?
Starting in the fall of 2015, the International Studies Program, in coordination with the Rady School, will offer a International Studies - International Business major. Students interested in pursuing this major should contact the International Studies Program for more information. Details relating to the major requirements can be found on their website.
Students pursuing the International Studies - International Business major cannot earn a minor in business or a minor in entrepreneurship & innovation. Too many classes overlap between those minors and the major. However, students can minor in accounting while pursuing the International Studies - International Business major.
Are Rady's undergraduate courses a requirement for the MBA program?
Taking undergraduate courses at Rady is not required for admission to Rady's MBA program. Undergraduate course work will not count toward graduate credit.
Which specific majors / minors are required for MBA admission?
The Rady School and most other business schools accept students from a variety of academic backgrounds. The Rady School welcomes applications from undergraduates who have excelled academically and personally and who can articulate their reasons for continuing directly to the MBA program. Undergraduate majors in science or engineering or technical disciplines are particularly relevant to the Rady School's emphasis, but these are by no means the only majors we consider.

Some, such as the original Quake engine, have even been released as open source (although long after they became technically outdated and were no longer of value to license for game development). Cube, however, stands apart because it was targeted at Linux since its inception, and has always been free.
This isn't a project in the experimental stage. Cube is already a fully playable first-person shooter that you can download and play. It even supports Deathmatch, online competitions where human opponents blast each other. It also requires modest hardware: a 500 MHz processor, 64 MB of RAM, and a graphics card with recent and compliant OpenGL drivers. nVIDIA's TNT2 and GeForce cards work very well.
Deathmatching with Cube.
Even better, the source code is released under a license functionally equivalent to the new BSD/MIT/ZLIB licenses. This means that anyone can create an original game using the Cube engine and distribute it. You can make your own game maps, models, and scripts for Cube to build your own action game from the ground up. You can even release it commercially without having to pay licensing fees.
This remarkable piece of software was developed by Wouter van Oortmerssen, a 30-year-old Dutchman. He works as a programmer for a games company in Coburg, Germany and started developing Cube in Fall 2001. Van Oortmerssen didn't intend to frag commercial graphics engines with his open source alternative. Rather, he was motivated by a personal challenge to create "the absolutely simplest engine structure I could get away with, to have some fun programming, and try out some ideas I had without getting bogged down in writing a complex (graphics) renderer."
Because the engine is intended to power first-person shooters, it works best at generating interior locations rather than simulating the outdoors. A future release will allow adjustments to the engine's "camera" perspective. This could be used to create a Tomb Raider-style platform game with a third-person view. This feature is possible, but not yet implemented, in the present release.

It's only an 8MB download, but Cube manages to pack in the basics to satisfy most first-person shooter enthusiasts. There are five weapon types: the super shotgun (similar to the one in DOOM II), the rocket launcher (a clone of Quake's), the chain gun (with similarities to the lightning gun in Quake III), the rifle (a counterpart of the railgun in Quake II and III), and the fist (like Quake III's gauntlet). These were chosen with the criteria of being diverse, uncompromising, and fun to use for Deathmatch play.
Cube's various Deathmatch modes provide a frantic play experience akin to Quake or DOOM. (Those seeking slower, more tactical, or "realistic" multi-player game play, like that of Counter-Strike or Rainbow Six, might be disappointed.) Cube has over 20 Deathmatch maps to frag on, and the netcode makes for enjoyable play over the Internet, even at pings over 200. The single-player game play resembles the original DOOM most closely and is designed to force constant movement and fighting.
The engine does not have Deathmatch bots, per se. It does have traditional single-player monsters and enemy characters that can be used in Deathmatch maps. While individual monster characters aren't a big threat to the player, their collective behaviors can pose a threat.
"It's not easy to directly compare Cube with commercially produced 3-D graphics gaming engines. Cube is technically very different from most other FPS engines. It does some things better than Quake III, yet does some things worse than DOOM II, so it's hard to say where it fits," says van Oortmerssen. On average, he guesses, Cube is similar to the Quake II engine in terms of features and capability.
That said, Cube does outperform most of its competitors in several areas:
Its occlusion culling is very precise, fast, and fully dynamic. This results in minimal overdraw, more freedom in level design, and allows for arbitrary modifications to the geometry during game play.
The lighting system, though limited in some ways, allows for dynamic soft shadows from many light sources.
Cube delivers a multi-player experience smoother than most commercial games.
The engine handles maps very efficiently. Load times are measured in fractions of a second. Maps can also be edited in the midst of games.
Dynamic lighting from several sources.
In upcoming versions of Cube, van Oortmerssen plans to include new features such as server browsing, demo recording, role-playing game extensions for the single-player mode, and simple shaders to enhance the graphics.
Most of Cube is van Oortmerssen's own original work, but it includes pieces from other projects. He built the entire multi-player code, which works over the Internet or on a LAN, but the network layer itself is enet. The enet library implements a portable interface for UDP traffic, performing all of the necessary bookkeeping and bandwidth management.
Lee Salzman, a 20-year-old undergraduate student at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, developed enet for Cube. He explains that "Cube's earlier networking used TCP, which ended up being rather disastrous due to buffering and synchronization provided by the protocol. This caused a substantial amount of lag when data was sent at even moderately frequent rates."

An individual Cube client sends out a seemingly insignificant amount of data, only about 1K/s. The bulk of these messages are small object position updates sent to the server up to 30 times per second (30Hz), for the server to broadcast to other clients. Position updates are sent frequently, and any given updates may subsume a previous one. Cube's networking layer tries to optimize for this case of frequent, redundant data. Salzman chose to implement a mostly unreliable packet model over UDP that provides sequencing of packets and optional re-transmission.
Another major technical issue that didn't work out exactly as planned is the LOD, or Level of Detail system. This subsystem calculates the time needed to render a particular piece of geometry in relation to the amount of space it takes up on the screen. For example, a nearby object should be more detailed than an object that is farther away. LOD maximizes the processing time for more detailed objects and minimizes that for less detailed ones.
Implementing this system successfully in Cube was a challenge. Changing the number of polygons on an object is not easy to do seamlessly without having distracting visual artifacts ("popping") appear. This is especially prevalent on slower processors. Van Oortmerssen settled on having the engine calculate how much it should scale back on its use of the LOD system when the polygon processing load becomes too heavy.
"LOD is less useful that I thought, but it's still useful," says van Oortmerssen. "Recomputing LOD in Cube is not a problem at all, only visual artifacts are."
Compared to most commercially made 3-D graphics engines, Cube is not as sophisticated in the eye candy department. Its geometry is somewhat limited. For one, it doesn't support advanced shader techniques. (Van Oortmerssen himself chose not to add these features since he wanted to keep Cube's original code design as elegantly simple as possible. They may be added by other developers in the future.) The attractiveness of the included maps is due to the skill of their artists.
An attractive map location.
Those interested in creating their own game with Cube should try their hand at editing maps for the engine first. Using the engine's map-making tool is a very quick and direct, WYSIWYG process. It gives you the ability to edit a map from within the game itself and to see immediately how things look. With most commercial engine editors, there is a substantial delay between editing the geometry and seeing the compiled level with rendered lighting and shadows.
"This immediate feedback cycle is one of the main advantages to Cube mapping," says John Fitzgibbons, a 24-year-old Web developer in Seattle, WA, who created two of the maps included with Cube. He has also made game maps for the DOOM and Quake engines. "It's probably most significant for lighting, because most Quake series editors show what the geometry looks like but have no provision for previewing the lighting."
Though you can generate simple map architecture rapidly, doing anything that pushes the graphical limits of Cube can be an artistic challenge. "You really have to think hard about how to implement some of the more interesting architectural features," says van Oortmerssen. "But limitations tend to bring out the best in mappers. If you look through some of the maps, you'll see that mappers have gotten rather creative with Cube's minimalistic features."
Regardless of the engine being used, negotiating creativity within technical limitations is forever an issue in game development. Cube's likeliest appeal may be to hobbyists who make original maps, models, and other elements for the Quake III, Unreal Tournament and Half-Life engines. Van Oortmerssen has provided this scene the means to create an entire game--not just a "mod"--from scratch, unrestricted by the licenses and costs of a commercially produced engine.
It may be yet another first-person shooter engine, but Cube is one that the game mod community can use, without limitations, as the basis for their own creations.

A summary of a draft of a new National Intelligence Assessment on Iraq reportedly concludes "that al-Qaida has reconstituted its core structure along the Pakistani border and may now be a stronger and more resilient organization than it appeared a year ago," as Newsweek's Michael Isikoff and Mark Hosenball put it.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff has a "gut feeling" the U.S. may be vulnerable to an attack this summer, although everyone scrambles to say there's no specific threat.
In short, be afraid, be very afraid. Or maybe not.
A terrorist attack, even a botched terrorist attack like those in London and Glasgow recently, is a dramatic and traumatic event — terrorists wouldn't bother if it weren't — but a little perspective may be in order.
A quarter-million people have died in automobile accidents since 9/11, but most Americans accept that statistic as background noise. A new terrorist attack would be horrific, and we would all empathize with the victims, but your chances of being hurt in a terrorist attack are about the same as your chances of winning the lottery next Saturday night.
The Bush administration has declared a global war on terror and has made it the signature issue of George W. Bush's presidency. It wouldn't do to have Americans adopt the attitude many Europeans, after significant experience with both war and terrorism on their own soil, have adopted — that terrorism is likely to be an ongoing problem requiring serious vigilance (i.e. parts of London are studded with security cameras), but not something likely to be eliminated no matter how strenuous our efforts and no matter how much of our freedom we cede to the government.
So we may be seeing terrorism hype here.
Even if that is so, however, there are reasons to believe al-Qaida is stronger than it has been recently, and most of those reasons suggest the predominant ways our government has chosen to "fight terrorism" have been profoundly misguided.
The most egregious blunder was invading Iraq.
Brian Michael Jenkins, the Rand Corporation's prominent terrorism expert, said his own assessment is that al-Qaida is stronger along the Pakistani-Afghan border than it was a year to 18 months ago, that the effectiveness of the leadership has probably improved, that al-Qaida has proven to be adaptable and resilient.
Jenkins is also concerned that Iraq has become "the academy of advanced terrorism," with people gaining experience there in urban guerrilla warfare and returning to Europe where that experience is likely to mean more terrorist incidents and more people trained in the years ahead.
That doesn't necessarily mean that leaving Iraq will eliminate the violence or the jihadist juices it has unleashed immediately or even soon. Seeds have been sown there that will bloom for years.
But invading was a mistake — both a diversion from the real threat and a motivating factor for jihadist recruiting. Let's remember that the next time leaders bang the war drums.

The concert is jointly sponsored by the Beeville Concert Association and the St. Philip's Music in the Nave series.
Cleobury is a highly versatile musician who relishes the opportunities he has to appear in a variety of roles and across a broad range of repertoire.
As director of music at King's College, Cambridge and conductor laureate of the BBC Singers, he is associated with two of Britain's most famous choirs and works with leading symphony orchestras and period instrument ensembles.
At King's, he has sought to maintain and enhance the reputation of the world-famous choir, widening the daily service repertoire, commissioning new music from leading composers and developing its activities in broadcasting, recording and touring. In March 2005, he instigated the highly successful annual festival, Easter at King's, from which the BBC regularly broadcasts.
In 2009, King's Choir and the Academy of Ancient Music gave the first ever live simultaneous transmission of a concert (Handel's Messiah) direct into cinemas across Europe and North America. In the wake of Easter at King's, Cleobury founded Concerts at King's, a series of performances throughout the year. One of the highlights of the 2009-2010 Concerts at King's was a concert featuring Bryn Terfel, with the Philharmonia Orchestra, King's Choir, and the Cambridge University Music Society Chorus under Cleobury's direction of the Fauré Requiem.
For 26 years, Cleobury was conductor of the Cambridge University Musical Society, one of the UK's oldest music societies, a role in which he has directed the major works for chorus and orchestra as well as symphonic repertoire, highlights including Mahler Symphony No. 8 in the Royal Albert Hall and Britten War Requiem in Coventry Cathedral on the 50th anniversary of its bombing.
In 2009, as part of the University's 800th anniversary celebrations, he directed CUMS in the première of Peter Maxwell Davies' The Sorcerer's Mirror in Cambridge; the London première followed at the City of London Festival in a concert which also included the première of John Harle's City Solstice: a Love Song for London Bridge, given by King's College Choir.
As an organ recitalist, Stephen has played in venues as diverse as the Cultural Centre, Hong Kong, the Conference Centre of the Church of the Latter Day Saints, Salt Lake City and Haderslev Cathedral in Denmark.
He gave the première of Judith Bingham's Organ Concerto, Jacob's Ladder, at the American Guild of Organists' Convention in Minneapolis-St Paul, and the final concert in Westminster Cathedral recital series. His latest recording project for organ, a DVD of mixed repertoire on the King's organ for Priory Records, was released last year and was DVD of the Month in Gramophone magazine.
Cleobury is a past president of the Royal College of Organists and of the Incorporated Association of Organists. He was appointed C.B.E. in the Queen's Birthday Honors of 2009.
Cleobury will appear in the United States in 2013 as choral clinician for Treble Fest at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Cleveland, Ohio; at Archbishop Curley High School in Baltimore, Md.; for solo organ recital at St. Philip's Episcopal Church in Beeville; as choral clinician and solo recitalist at Utah State University in Logan, Utah; and in solo recital for Seattle Symphony's organ recital series.
John Blackburn, St. Philip's organist, arranged for Cleobury's Beeville concert.
Admission for adults who do not hold BCA season tickets is $10. Students through high school age are admitted free, as is any adult who accompanies two students; Coastal Bend College students will be admitted with their photo IDs.
Each Music in the Nave concert has a charitable focus; Rotary International's "End Polio Now" campaign is the one designated for the Cleobury concert. Audience members will have the opportunity to donate at the end of the concert if they wish to do so.

Obama Falls to GOP Pressure, Poses As Tusken Raider; Oh, Yeah, and US America Wins!
Though I cannot necessarily prove this theory in conventional form, as an honest human being with an affinity for disclosure, I assure you that I have good reason to believe both Republican juggernauts Ann "She-Devil" Coulter and Rush "Just Call Me Jabba" Limbaugh were hunched over their television sets last night vehemently rooting against Team USA, praying to their hypocritical conservative god that Team Puerto Rico would find a way to quell the dreams and aspirations of US Americans worldwide.
It didn't work.
Jimmy Rollins and David Wright became the baseball versions of Barack Obama and Joe Biden — once bitter rivals who put aside their differences, bridged the gap and brought home a win when it mattered the most.
Get over it.
That goes for my colleague, Mr. Allen Krause as well. Because we all know that Mr. Krause would rather see Rollins and Wright duke out that "choke-fest" moniker on the field — the last man standing to be crowned the argument's winner; but if we US Americans are really about anything, we are about coming together in times of need, when it matters most.
Unless you are a Republican, of course.
And though Obama has done a fine job of staying the course early on in his presidency, it appears he finally gave in and enlightened the snickering skeptics and delinquent ditto-heads by unintentionally posing as a Tusken Raider for the cameras:
This unfortunate photographic gaffe comes on the heels of an equally embarrassing egregious error regarding the double-talk surrounding those suspiciously infuriating AIG bonuses paid out to the very individuals responsible for schmucking the company's total worth in the first place.
Are the Dems backpedaling on their original outcries?
Does this reflect poorly on the majority administration?
More harm than good, I would say.
Should we blindly follow the GOP sideshow leaders and trust that malcontent dissension is the social bonding agent of the future?
Hell no.
Rollins and Wright. Braun and Lilly. Jeter and Youk.
There is a time and place to battle it out, folks. But when enemy minds come through together in the clutch? That, my friends, is what makes the United States of America the greatest country on earth.
Ah… If only politics would mirror baseball.
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

LOL re: the Obama photo. Way to go for Team USA, though. Take it all the way, boys!
Time to go indoors. Republicans are easily startled, but will return…and in greater numbers.
Cockroach — We aim to please. Glad you liked it!
Chris — I know. I've endangered the mission. I shouldn't have come.
BUT Jeffy – you've got to love a guy who dyed the fountains green at the White House yesterday! Wonder if they had green beer also??
I'm sure they did, Julia. We here in the Chi are used to having green beer on the regular… oh wait, that's just the color of Old Style. My bad.
I saw the game as a triumph that resembled America well playing at its best when the team was down but not out, working together to preserve its right to play in yet another round.
I nearly didn't survive that ninth inning last night. It was intense. I *almost* started chanting, "USA USA"….alone in my bedroom, mind you.
I knew I was going to enjoy this post as soon as I saw "Tuscan Raider" in the title!
Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh could never put aside their idealogical differences with the president, even if it is in the best interests of the country. They would never sell any books that way!-Erinhttp://plunking-gomez.mlblogs.com
You have to give Obama credit for filling out his bracket for March Madness on ESPN!
Aaron — Triumph indeed. Like that insult-comic dog. Right?
Katie — Almost? Next time, just do it!
Kathy — We aim to please.
Erik — YES!
Erin — And they're sellin' a lot of books.
Scott — Credit given… though I don't know a thing about basketball so I'm not terribly excited about it.
Yes, if only….
Funny, Rollins was actually at Obama's inaguration; maybe he picked up some tips there on how to play nice with others :O)
Jenn — Hopefully he also learned a thing or two about NCAA bracketing from the Prez.
Thank God you referred to Ann Coulter as a She-Devil, not a She-Fan. Whew. Obama's supposed to be on Leno tonight. Think he'll wear his White Sox cap?
One can only hope, Jane. Better that than a Tarheels jersey.

NASA Tells Congress to "Pray" if Meteor Comes

Russia's meteor
(Source: gannett-cdn.com)
NASA needs funding for small meteor defense
NASA told Congress to "pray" if a meteor similar to
the one that hit Russia last month
is ever three weeks away from the U.S.
NASA administrator Charles Bolden Jr. told Congress that the U.S. doesn't have the proper equipment to identify a small meteor (the size of Russia's meteor) in a House Committee hearing on Tuesday.
"If it's coming in three weeks ... pray," Bolden said. "The reason I can't do anything in the next three weeks is because for decades we have put it off. We are where we are today because, you know, you all told us to do something and between the administration and the Congress, the funding to do that did not - the bottom line is always
the funding did not come
The U.S. is able to detect larger meteors (and offset them a bit by crashing a spacecraft into them, thus slowing them down and changing their course) with plenty of in advance, but smaller objects are more difficult because the sun blinds satellites. That's precisely why Russia didn't see the meteor coming -- and neither did the U.S.
Had the meteor not stayed intact for only seconds longer, it would have had the impact of 20 Hiroshima bombs once hitting Russia, according to a
CBS News report
Donald Yeomans, manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office, said that the U.S. needs a space-based infrared telescope to see smaller objects coming. This particular telescope would work because the sun wouldn't be an issue in blocking sight of the objects.
Yeomans also suggested ground-based wide field optical telescopes that could keep an eye on large parts of the sky at night.
The space-based infrared telescope would cost "a few hundred million dollars."
However, government funding remains an issue. Bolden said NASA was budgeted only $20.5 million for its near-Earth object observation program for fiscal 2012.
While NASA doesn't see any large meteors coming toward Earth in the foreseeable future (and current large meteor detection equipment would know decades in advance), small meteors need to be taken seriously as well to prevent destruction.
The Chelyabinsk meteor exploded over Russia on February 15, 2013. It was estimated to be traveling at 40,000 MPH and was about 11,000 tonnes.

Deputies: Pursuit leads to drunken-driving arrest
Chase reaches speeds of 70 mph
An Edgerton man was arrested after being pursued by Edgerton police early Thursday, according to the Rock County Sheriff's Office.
An Edgerton police officer said the pursuit started at 3:20 a.m. when a vehicle failed to stop when the officer attempted to stop the vehicle for operating without headlights on.
The chase went south on Highway 51 out of Edgerton and sheriff's deputies said they were called on to deploy stop sticks.
The pursuit reached speeds up to 70 mph, according to the deputies.
The vehicle struck two sets of stop sticks, three tires deflated and the vehicle came to a stop at the intersection of Highway 51 and Highway 14.
Christopher J. Barrett, 22, of Edgerton, was arrested on suspicion of operating under the influence, prohibited alcohol concentration and knowingly fleeing an officer.
He's scheduled to appear in court Friday.

Paint Selection Guide Find the right paint for the jobClear
1) What type of water is your boat in?
2) What is your hull material?
3) Select a Paint Type:
Antifouling Bottom Paint
Slime, weeds, and barnacles aren't just unsightly- marine organisms can also affect your boats performance and durability. Antifouling Bottom Paints from Wholesale Marine feature antifouling for racing sailboats and powerboats, multi season protection, and paints for any kind of boat you can imagine. Wholesale Marine only carries paint products tough enough to withstand frequent trailering, launching and beaching.
How do you know if you need a Hard Bottom or Ablative Bottom Paint? Hard Bottom Paints have a higher concentration of biocides, and form a tough coating that does not wear away. Hard Bottom Paints are generally recommended for boats that are faster and kept in the water. Ablative Bottom Paints have layers that slowly wear down over time, revealing fresh biocides, reducing oxidation, but due to its limited life, Ablative Bottom Paints are thereby recommended for boats stored out of water.
Interlux Antifouling Bottom Paints can reduce friction, improve fuel efficiency, and are perfect for usage in fresh and low fouling salt water. Interlux uses metallic copper to achieve complete protection in freshwater or low fouling saltwater. Interlux features its renowned Micron technology that provides excellent, long lasting antifouling protection by using less copper more efficiently than traditional high copper bottom paints.
Pettit Paints feature the ideal combination of high-speed performance and durability with environmental responsiveness. Racing and recreational finishes are easy to apply and quick to launch. Pettit Paints offers durable multi-season protection with quick clean-up and little to no odor.
Aquagard Antifouling Bottom Paints are available in spray and regular form. Their Marine grade Anti-foulant paints are great for usage in both fresh and salt water, provide barriers to inhibit the growth of algae, are water based, and some even aid in improving depth sounder and fish finder performance.

i try to nurse my baby "on demand" but i am not sure how exactly to interpret this - it's not like i can understand what she is "demanding" most of the time. generally when she fusses or cries and diaper change and a small amount of rocking don't help, i assume she is hungry and nurse her. does this sound right? but what if it's colic or her tummy hurting wouldn't nursing make it worse?
she is 7 weeks btw

Hi Ladies!
I also thought I would just mention that oftentimes caregivers don't know what else to do with a baby to make him happy, other than feeding. It might be helpful if you give your grandmother some other things she can try that make him happy, especially if you think she may be over-feeding him.
Is there anything else he likes when he is a little fussy? Maybe something that dh does for him? A certain hold or carry? A sling or carrier? (anyone can use these-I can testify to that my 11-year-old niece and FIL in his 70's would wear my dd in one from time to time!) Maybe he likes being held while walking around outside? A certain type of music or song?
Again, as the PP said, you are very lucky to have family caring for ds! And of course you don't want to offend your grandmother, but it is ok for you to suggest to her some other things she could try before feedings.
Also, preparing bottles in a little bit smaller amounts may make her less likely to over-fill ds!
Your very welcome, glad my limited knowledge came in handy and as Kate pointed out finding something else that makes your little guy happy will help. Sounds like you and I will be going through alot of the same things with our kids being so close in age. Keep up the good work!!
Late to the conversation, but all advice is great since I had the same problem (seems we all do). Good luck to us all. Tomorrow is my first day back at work without her *sigh*.
Also noticed that McKenzie's birthday is the same as my little Kaia. Guess we will all be going through the same milestones at the same time.:)

No. 2: Utah
No state understands families the way Utah does.
According to the 2000 Census, Utah families have, on average, more kids than the average family in any other state, which means you don't get nearly as many dirty looks when your 2-year-old son throws his meatball and screams while at the local eatery.
Add in a changing table at every public restroom and the toughest tobacco and alcohol laws in the U.S. and you have a culture that caters to families.
The Beehive State's seven national parks and numerous state parks make it a Mecca for mountain bikers, hikers, rock climbers, and parents who don't think their kids should watch 21 hours of TV every day. Utah also claims to have the greatest snow on Earth. Although it hasn't been verified scientifically, Salt Lake City did host the 2002 Winter Olympics.
However, the next destination doesn't require an Olympic effort.
No. 1: Your hometown
Did you ever notice that your kids have just as much fun at the neighborhood pool than they do at the beach? Did you notice that the Chuck E. Cheese across town is really similar to the Chuck E. Cheese near Disney World?
Did you realize a day with Mom and Dad at the local park is as important to your kids as a day at the park on an exotic island? It's also a lot less expensive.
Plan a vacation in your hometown. Call in sick to work. Stay at a hotel for a night. Budget as you would for an out-of-town vacation and do all those things people do in your town who are from out of town.
You can even dress like a tourist, ask stupid questions, make left turns from the right lane, and be a general nuisance. It doesn't matter.

My 2 week old daughter has the hiccups after almost every feeding, and she gets SO angry...it is not particularly fun at 3am. Is there anyway i can prevent this, or is she too young for gripe water?
My 2 week old daughter has the hiccups after almost every feeding, and she gets SO angry...it is not particularly fun at 3am. Is there anyway i can prevent this, or is she too young for gripe water?
Hiccups are normal. They often hiccup a lot in the womb and continue through young infancy. I don't know of any way to stop the hiccups, sorry!
My baby had hiccups a lot before she was born and still gets them a lot now (she's 12 Mos). They're not as frequent as they used to be, though. I don't know if you can do anything but wait it out. Good luck
You could try gripe water, that is suppose to help w/ hiccups. I've given my 2wk old some. It can't hurt them and I believe it even says for newborns. But i'd try that! Hope it works!
careful.. a little gripe water should be fine, but it is an herb so use caution.
alittle off subject but how much gripe water is too much? DS is constantly fussy over something, at least twice a day, gripe water seems to help but i dont want to be giving it to him so often.
oh gosh I do not know, a couple times of day should be fine, just use your caution, things like this usually are safe, I used it for ds also.
My daughter used to get the hiccups after nearly every feeding too. I found that it I offered her the breast once more for just a little sip that the hiccups would go away. I don't know exactly why this worked, but if I didn't top her off like this the hiccups would continue. Good luck finding a solution.
When my daughter was born I held her in from of me and said "hello", she replied with a hiccup! dd hiccupped a lot when in the first couple of months, but it gradually went away.
hiccups occur when the diaphragm gets out of sync with the lungs. It can be annoying, but its goes away. taking a very deep breath, holding it and then drinking can help (full lungs push the diaphragm down and swallowing can "reset" the motion), but you cant get a baby to do it.
All you can do really, is to comfort the baby. Gripe water cant hurt.
My babe gets hiccups everyday, too. I try to burp her again and a lot of times she has a little burp in there. A previous reply said to offer the breast again, and that has worked for me as well. They are typically gone after a few sucks.

Sipping rare-around-here atole and snacking on terrific tamales while surrounded by fanciful Frida Kahlo and dramatic Day of the Dead knick-knacks, the explosive colors and potent flavors of Mexico City came rushing back to me. It was an intoxicating moment. You can have it too if you visit the whimsical new Frida Katrina Cafe in Clintonville.
Frida Katrina is a wonderful gift emporium (attention last minute shoppers!) sporting an amusing name that conflates the steely-eyed Mexican surrealist (Kahlo) with those elaborately decorated Day of the Dead skulls (aka Las Catrinas, and a reference to Jose Guadalupe Posada, another great Mexican artist). Though the exceedingly modest cafe in the store's rear — it's an offshoot of Azteca Catering — isn't ready for prime time yet, it prepares a few authentic pre-Columbian-style treats, tries to source locally (e.g. on occasion, it gets huitlacoche from the Cleveland area) and prefers to cook seasonally.
Some things you might find with the currently limited offerings are that atole ($2). If you've never had it, atole is like a dense, warm polenta drink (think just-sippable cream of wheat), here leavened with lots of cinnamon and a bit of orange peel. Since I'm a fan of the less porridgey versions, I enjoyed FKC's.
Tamales are the classic — and Day of the Dead approved — matches for atole, and FKC serves really good and spicier-than-usual ones ($3.50). While my favorite was the pork in a sorta biting mole sauce, I'd happily eat both FKC's chicken with tangy salsa verde or its cheese-with-chilies masa bombs anytime.
Among other humble and homey — if certainly soulful — fare I sampled were comforting bowls of black bean and vegetable soups ($4). The former was salty with sprinkles of cotija cheese and exhibited a neat depth of flavor. The latter had rustically hacked vegetables (such as carrot, potato and spinach) in a light, clear and clean-tasting broth.
An unusual zucchini tostada ($3.50) topped crema with a fruity-sweet, almost-mucilaginous zucchini mash. I dug it, though I wish the tortilla had been fried in-house.
Locally made Koki's tortillas accompanied a spicy and delicious little plate of "Mexican Scrambled Eggs" ($3.50). Unfortunately, my huevos were a bit frio when delivered to me.
Bottom line: Frida Katrina's gift shop is already completely delightful, but if and when the cafe gets up to speed, expect another longer and even more excited food review.

12 dreamy pictures of Ireland

The history of St Patrick's Cathedral is remarkably similar to that of its fellow-Anglican rival Christ Church up the road. It was built between 1220 and 1270 in Gothic style, but its roof collapsed in 1544, leading to a decline that included its use as a stable by Cromwell's army in 1649. Its Victorian restoration, however, by Sir Benjamin Guinness in the 1860s, was more sensitive than at Christ Church, and it has a more appealing, lived-in feel, thanks largely to its clutter of quirky funerary monuments. Dublin has two Church of Ireland cathedrals because, in the 1190s, Archbishop John Comyn left the clergy of Christ Church and built his own palace and church here outside the city walls, and therefore beyond the jurisdiction of the city provosts.
To the right of the entrance in the harmoniously proportioned nave are diverse memorials to Jonathan Swift, the cathedral's dean for 32 years, including his and his long-term partner Stella's graves, his pulpit and table, and a cast of his skull – both his and Stella's bodies were dug up by Victorian phrenologists, studying the skulls of the famous. The Door of Reconciliation by the north transept recalls a quarrel between the earls of Kildare and Ormond in 1492. Ormond fled and sought sanctuary in the cathedral's chapterhouse, but Kildare, eager to make peace, cut a hole in the door and stretched his arm through to shake Ormond's hand – so giving us the phrase "chancing your arm". Nearby in the north aisle of the choir, a simple black slab commemorates Duke Frederick Schomberg, who advised William of Orange to come to Ireland in 1686 but had the misfortune to be slain at the ensuing Battle of the Boyne. His family didn't bother to erect a memorial for him, so it was left to Dean Swift to do the honours here in 1731; in Swift's words, "The renown of his valour had greater power among strangers than had the ties of blood among his kith and kin."
In the northwest corner of the nave you'll find a slab carved with a Celtic cross that once marked the site of a well next to the cathedral, where St Patrick baptized converts in the fifth century. Back near the entrance, you can't miss the extravagant Boyle monument, which Richard Boyle, Earl of Cork, erected in 1632 in memory of his wife Katherine who had borne him fifteen children, including the famous chemist Robert Boyle (shown in the bottom-centre niche). Viceroy Wentworth, objecting to being forced to kneel before a Corkman, had the monument moved here from beside the altar, but Boyle exacted revenge in later years by engineering Wentworth's execution.

Interagency Wetlands Committee
1989 Interagency Wetlands Policy Act created the Interagency Wetlands
Committee to advise the Director of the Illinois Department of Natural
Resources in the administration of the Act. The Committee
meets several times a year. In addition to the mandated members
(See Represented Agencies), representatives
from several federal agencies are also invited to attend Committee
meetings. These agencies include the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The attendance of
these additional agencies provides opportunities for exchange of
technical information and further coordination. The Act charged
the Committee with several tasks:
1. The Committee
was directed to assist the Department in the development of rules
and guidelines for the implementation and administration of the Act.
This task has been completed and the implementation procedures were
adopted into the Illinois Administrative Code on May 6, 1996. (see
Appendix B)
2. The Committee
was charged with establishing guidelines for developing individual
Agency Action Plans. The minimal components are outlined in the Act
and the Committee is working with individual agencies to adapt these
components to each agencies circumstances.
3. The committee
was directed to develop and adopt "technical procedures for the consistent
identification, delineation, and evaluation of existing wetlands and
quantification of their functional values and the evaluation of wetland
restoration or creation projects." Section 1090.80 of the administrative
rules strengthened the role of the Committee in developing, standardizing
technical procedures. Both the Department and the Committee will receive
and consider public comment on the proposed technical procedures,
and the Department will attempt to notify associations whose members
will be expected to utilize any new technical procedures. Technical
procedures adopted for implementation of the Act may include but are
not limited to the following:
a) Jurisdictional
wetland delineation procedures;
b) Restoration
and creation procedures;
c) Performance
standards for certifying and conditionally certifying mitigation account
credits; and
d) Process to
evaluate the positive and negative impacts that may result from a
project action.
As of early 1998,
the Department recommended the use of the 1987 Corps of Engineers
Wetlands Delineation Manual, the 1988 USFWS National List
of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands, and th e1995 USDA Field
Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States as the technical
tools for identification, delineation, and evaluation of existing
wetlands. The Committee is currently developing "white papers" on
these other technical subjects.
4. The Committee
was authorized to develop a research program for wetlan dfunction,
restoration and creation. In 1997, the Department, in consultation
with the Committee, published the Illinois Wetland Restoration
and Creation Guide. The publication provides Illinois wetlands
managers with the current processes and procedures they should use
to attempt to replicate natural wetland structure and function, with
an emphasis on restoration. Information on project planning, site
assessments, design, construction, monitoring, and management of restored
and created wetlands is included in the guide. The Guide will
be updated as technology changes. Copies of the Guide are
available to Department staff, at no charge, by contacting the Wetland
Program Administrator in the Office of Resource Conservation, 217/785-8287.
Copies may also be ordered (for a charge) from the Illinois Natural
History Survey Publications Office, 217/333-6880.
5. The committee
was asked to prepare two periodic reports. The first was a biennial
report to the Governor and General Assembly on the impact of State
supported activities on wetlands. The second was a comprehensive report
on the status of the State's wetland resources, including recommendations
for additional programs. Two comprehensive reports have been prepared
on the status of wetlands in Illinois, the first in 1994 and the second
in 1997.
6. Finally, the
Committee was directed to develop educational materials to promote
the protection of wetlands. Several informational brochures have been
produced by the Department in cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service. These brochures include A Public Guide to Illinois Wetlands,
Illinois Wetlands: Development / Agriculture, and Illinois
Wetlands: A Guide for Local Governments.
In 1994, the
Department published Wetland Resources of Illinois: An Analysis
and Atlas, which provided information on the character, extent,
and distribution of wetlands and deepwater habitats of Illinois based
on the Illinois Wetlands Inventory.
In 1995, the
Department and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency published
a booklet titled Selected Wetlands-Related Legislature and Programs
Applicable to Illinois in conjunction with the Illinois Wetlands
Conservation Strategy (see below). This booklet identified programs
with the greatest potential to positively affect wetland protection
efforts in Illinois.
under development is a semi-technical text with accompanying presentation
materials, entitled Understanding Illinois' Wetlands which
can be used to educate college and adult audiences about wetland resources
in Illinois. The Department also facilitates distribution of the National
Wetlands Inventory Maps. All of these resources are available to Department
staff, at no charge, by contacting the Wetlands Program Administrator
in the Office of Resource Conservation, 217/785-8287.

Ask a Canon Lawyer
Bishop Salvatore Joseph Cordileone was born in San Diego, California, on June 5, 1956, the second of Leon and Mary Cordileone's two sons and third of their four children. Following Sicilian tradition, his name reflects his family. His paternal grandfather was a fisherman in Sicily; his maternal grandfather, Salvatore, came from a farming family in Sicily; and his paternal uncle Joseph was killed in World War II.
Bishop Cordileone's father Leon was born in San Francisco and the family moved to San Diego when he was four years old. He worked with his three brothers in the family commercial fishing business and later bought his own albacore fishing boat. He also served in the Navy during the Second World War.
His mother Mary was born and raised in Buffalo, New York, the oldest of four sisters. She came to San Diego in March of 1947, and the rest of her family moved there in October of the same year. His parents met in San Diego and married on November 13, 1949.
The family grew up in Blessed Sacrament Parish in San Diego. Cordileone attended public grammar and high school and was an active participant in parish after-school religion classes and his high school music program, playing in the concert band, marching band and stage band.
In December of 1974, during his first year of college and with encouragement from a young parish priest he respected, Cordileone attended a seminary vocation retreat. It was during this first year at San Diego State that Cordileone discerned his call to the Priesthood and entered St. Francis Seminary, transferring as a sophomore to the University of San Diego.
Cordileone graduated three years later in 1978 with a B.A. in Philosophy. He was accepted to study in Rome and continued in the seminary at the Pontifical North American College. He received the Bachelors Degree in Sacred Theology in 1981 from the Pontifical Gregorian University and then chose to return to be ordained a priest in San Diego and begin his first pastoral assignment.
On July 9, 1982, Bishop Leo T. Maher ordained the Reverend Salvatore Cordileone. Soon thereafter he took up his assignment as associate pastor at St. Martin of Tours Parish in La Mesa, where he remained for three years. In 1985 he was again sent to Rome, this time to study the new Code of Canon Law. He spent the next four years again at the Gregorian University, completing his doctorate. Upon Father Cordileone's return to San Diego in 1989, he became secretary to Coadjutor Bishop Robert Brom and a year later became adjutant judicial vicar. Pastoral work called to him again in 1991 and Father Cordileone accepted appointment as pastor of Calexico's Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish, four blocks from the Mexican border.
In 1995 he was called to Rome and for the next seven years served as assistant at the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura, the Church's highest canonical court. On July 5, 2002 Pope John Paul II appointed him Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of San Diego and he was ordained bishop on August 21, 2002 by Bishop Brom. In addition to serving on the various consultative bodies of the Diocese during his years as auxiliary of San Diego, Bishop Cordileone also chaired the Corporate Board of Catholic Charities and was a member of the University of San Diego Board of Trustees, serving on its Academic Affairs and Mission and Vision Committees.
On March 23, 2009 Pope Benedict XVI appointed Bishop Cordileone to be Fourth Bishop of Oakland. His Mass of Installation in the Diocese of Oakland was celebrated on May 5, 2009 at the Cathedral of Christ the Light.
Bishop Cordileone presently sits on the Committee for Canonical Affairs and Church Governance of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) as well as on its Task Force on Cultural Diversity. He also serves on the Religious Liberties Committee of the California Catholic Conference.
Bishop Cordileone's avocations include a life-long interest in jazz music. Even during his seminary studies in Rome he played his alto saxophone in a jazz quintet, and continues to follow the music. He also enjoys swimming and spectator sports, especially professional baseball and football. He has not, however, declared his regional team preferences.

Setting Up an Ongoing Investing Program
Step 1: How Can I Avoid Market High and Lows When I'm Ready to Invest?
The first step is always the hardest. And individual investors taking their first steps in an investment program must also confront a sea of stock market uncertainty. Some plunge headlong into the market with all their savings. Others barely wet their feet before heading back to the safe shores of their money market funds. The problem, however, with these two all-or-nothing approaches is one of timing—the risk of entering the market at a high point in the market cycle.
Dollar cost averaging and its variations, such as value averaging, offer investors an alternative, allowing them to ease into the market over time, which reduces the timing risk. The mechanical aspects of averaging provide an investment discipline, require no market forecasts and are relatively simple to initiate. Most mutual funds offer automatic investment and exchange programs—a cruise control for your investment plan that eliminates the more routine aspects of maintaining an averaging plan.
Classroom Steps

Step 2:
How Do I Implement a Periodic Investing Program?
Step 3:
Which Averaging System Will Work Best for Me?
Step 4:
Can My Plan Be Carried Out Automatically?
The Concept
Dollar cost averaging is simple in concept: Invest a fixed amount at equal intervals and continue to do so over a long period. The result is that more shares of a stock or mutual fund are purchased when prices are relatively low and less are purchased when prices are relatively high. This can result in lower average per share cost over time.
