It's time to showcase another awesome quote from staff reviewer, Susan! She informed me of it a little while ago, but I've been delayed in posting it until now because it's not yet for sale.
So why now? Because I simply couldn't resist the temptation to share Susan's good news any longer.
You can pre-order Heart of the Highland Wolf at Amazon. The book releases June 1, 2011 from Sourcebooks Casablanca.
For those who can't see the text on the cover above very well… here is it:
"Bursting with Romance, Suspense, and Heart-Pounding Excitement."
The quote comes from Susan's review of Legend of the White Wolf by Terry Spear which you can check out for yourself as it's a great book too. Click on over: Review: Legend of the White Wolf by Terry Spear
Congratulations Susan for a well deserved book cover shoutout! I'm so happy for you. 😀

When I plug the values of x into the equation you wrote I get:
(60, 437.011)
(120, 441.032)
(180, 434.193)
which is a lot closer than your calculation woudl indicate. I don't know why your calculator is giving you answers that are so far off - but I'm guessing that yuo may have used 4.6713 instead of 4.6717 for the third coefficient.
Also, consider how you have rounded off the coefficients, especially the second one which is good to only three signficant digits (0.0409). Given this rounding the result can be expected to be accurate to only three significant digits as well. If you want more accuracy you need to provide more digits. Try:
y = 0.0001x^3 - 0.0408958x^2 + 4.671667x + 280.32

Sharia Law and the U.S. Constitution
[Update I: I have streamlined the following post to be easily readable to the average layman, but informative enough for a lawyer or law professor to learn a bit more on the similarities and differences between Sharia and U.S. Law]
Is Sharia compatible with the U.S. Constitution?
The simple answer is of course "no".
But lets take a look at some aspects of Sharia Law and where it may or may not conflict with the U.S. Constitution. (For disclosure I am not a lawyer nor a legal expert in Sharia or U.S. Law.)
First, what is Sharia?
Wikipedia states Sharia refers to the sacred law of Islam. All Muslims believe Sharia is God's law, but they have differences between themselves as to exactly what it entails. Which will be difficult to discern what to apply when, but we'll labor along for the sake of discussion.
In Western countries, where Muslim immigration is more recent, Muslim minorities have introduced Sharia family law, for use in their own disputes. Attempts to impose Sharia have been accompanied by controversy, violence, and even warfare (Second Sudanese Civil War).
The recent incidents at the Arab International Festival have reinforced the poor image of Sharia inside the United States and its incompatibility with American culture and law.
The following is a truncated version with a couple of modifications (eliminating repetitious ibids and links) of multiple Wikipedia entries [with my comments]:
Legal and Court Proceedings:
Wikipedia states that Sharia judicial proceedings have significant differences with other legal traditions, including those in both common law and civil law.
1. Sharia courts do not generally employ lawyers; plaintiffs and defendants represent themselves.
Sharia in Dearborn?
Apparently the police acting to unconstitutionally arrest individuals attempting to hand out proselytizing literature to Muslims in Dearborn is not unusual according to this release from the Thomas More Law Center:
In what some have described as police enforcement of Sharia law at the annual Dearborn Arab International Festival, last Friday night Dearborn Police Officers arrested four Christian missionaries and illegally confiscated their video cameras which were recording the events surrounding their arrests. The Thomas More Law Center, a public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, today announced it is representing all of the Christian missionaries.
Egypt: Christian Convert Asks Obama for Help
A sad story coming from Egypt where a father and daughter recently converted from Islam to Christianity. They have been attending a different church each Sunday and have slept in a different home each night in fear of the government.
In Egypt it is illegal to convert to Christianity.
The Obama Administration and Freedom of Speech
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
The Founding Fathers left no doubt which freedoms they held most important. They inserted them into the First Amendment to the Constitution. Freedom of speech and of the press come right after freedom of religion. These freedoms, and all the others set forth in the Constitution, are the birthright of all Americans and a precious example to the rest of the world. That is why I am bemused by the manner in which the Obama administration appears to be indifferent to attempts to undermine freedom of speech and of the press at the UN.
Hattip to Instapundit. In an article here at the The Weekly Standard, Anne Bayefsky, writes about the Obama administration signing on to a freedom of expression resolution.
"The new resolution, championed by the Obama administration, has a number of disturbing elements. It emphasizes that "the exercise of the right to freedom of expression carries with it special duties and responsibilities . . ." which include taking action against anything meeting the description of "negative racial and religious stereotyping." It also purports to "recognize . . . the moral and social responsibilities of the media" and supports "the media's elaboration of voluntary codes of professional ethical conduct" in relation to "combating racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance."

Alumni Profiles
Alex Thompson
Class of 2010
As a religion major at UE, Alex Thompson '10 discovered the works of N.T. Wright, an Anglican bishop and one of the world's leading New Testament scholars. "I was first introduced to his work as a student in Dr. Ware's classes," Alex says, "and have since longed for the opportunity to learn from him."
As the 2012-13 recipient of Emory University's prestigious Robert T. Jones Jr. Fellowship, he will do just that. A current Master of Divinity student at Emory's Candler School of Theology, Alex was selected to receive one year of full funding to study at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. There, he will study biblical interpretation, Christian history, and systematic theology with Wright and pursue a master's degree in scripture and theology.
For this and his other accomplishments, Alex credits UE's religion program for providing an excellent foundation — in particular, he believes UE's focus on the biblical languages gave him invaluable skills in working with the biblical text, and helped him thrive in seminary courses. The program's distinctive interdisciplinary focus on theology, history, and biblical interpretation was also crucial to his development, says Alex. "Courses like Dr. Oliver's Religion, Peace, and Justice integrated personal morality and commitment to justice in the world in a dialogue with issues of faith in a way that prepared me to think (as a minister) about the role of the church in shaping the world."
After graduating from Emory in 2014, Alex hopes to earn a PhD in New Testament and early Christianity, teach at the university level, and seek ordination as a United Methodist Church elder. "UE couldn't have been a more perfect fit for preparing me for graduate work and my future profession," Alex says. "The faculty at UE were easily accessible, always available to answer questions, and cared about my well-being as a scholar and human being."
"UE's religion program is a hidden gem at the University, with excellent and engaging faculty who are passionate about what they teach and are able to transfer that passion to you as well."
Diane Pottratz
Class of 2010
For Diane Pottratz, the internship and study abroad opportunities at UE have been a vital part of her academic experience. "I spent a semester interning for a children's ministry in downtown Evansville. It was a great experience and really helped me define what I did and didn't want from a career." Her study abroad in Stellenbosch, South Africa, also had a major impact, culminating in her senior thesis on the role of faith in the struggle for civil rights in South Africa.
But Diane believes the greatest impact on her academic and career path has come from her close relationship with her professors: "The religion department is a small department and the professors know each of the majors and minors well. The time and energy they put into helping me explore different areas of thought within my major and the career options that I now have has been invaluable. I can't say enough good things about the professors in this department!"
After graduation, Diane will work for YouthWorks!, an organization that provides short-term life-changing mission trips. Following a short-term assignment there, she is looking into one- or two year-long service opportunities that will allow her to investigate several career paths. "Regardless of what I choose to do, my background in religion has offered me a great base to continue to explore human nature, relationships, and behavior."
Brad Rice
Class of 1998
As a UE student, Brad Rice felt the small class sizes facilitated stimulating discussions and personal attention. "I chose UE because of its academic reputation, and I wanted to attend a university where the professors care about their students - which is what I found at Evansville." Studying religion was an exciting undertaking for Brad because of the types of difficult questions one asks: "What does the Bible say about suffering?" or "Why is there so much conflict in the Middle East?" Exploring answers to such pressing questions is both the challenge and the reward of studying religion.
After graduation, Brad earned a Master of Theological Studies and a Master of Sacred Theology degree at Boston University School of Theology and a Master of Theology from Harvard Divinity School. "After studying three years of ancient Greek with Professor Ware, I gained a foundation for later studies. I'm using those same skills with the New Testament Language Project, a research project involved in creating an online, interactive reference work for the ancient Greek of the New Testament."

Game publisher Electronic Arts is moving into the movies. The company has signed a deal with Hollywood playas at the United Talent Agency where UTA will help EA "develop a comprehensive strategy for moving its intellectual property into the realm of large-budget motion pictures and television series."
UTA's press release mentions "Army of Two and Need for Speed as well as eagerly awaited new titles such as Dead Space and Mirror's Edge," but there's no word on which of EA's properties are headed to the big screen.
"We view EA as an emerging entertainment force, not just because they are a great untapped IP rights holder, but because at their core they care most about how viewers respond to their stories and creative vision," said UTA partner Richard Klubeck in making the announcement. "We're excited to work alongside the EA team as they make this important expansion of their intellectual property strategy."
Some EA properties currently in development: The Sims is in script development at 20th Century Fox with producer John Davis and a MySims animated television series in development at Film Roman. EA is also in production with Starz/Film Roman on an animated DVD feature version of its new title Dead Space to launch with the game.

This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Final Score:
Colts: 17, Browns: 13
The Indianapolis Colts beat the Cleveland Browns at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis this afternoon.
The Colts took advantage of a poor Cleveland defense in the first part of the game, moving the ball with ease. But, as the game went on, the Colts' offense went conservative, and stalled more often than not in the second half.
However, the Browns were unable to take advantage, as they also only scored on one possession in the second half.

March Madness Menus Are Crazy Delicious
LAS VEGAS ( MainStreet) -- The March Madness phenomenon that grips the national sports psyche kicks off this month, and restaurants and bars across the country participate in the "madness" with specials created for their basketball-loving guests.
TravelsinTaste selected some of the more interesting and pleasurable ways to watch the game.

|New York's Best Seafood, Courtesy of New York's Best Chef: James Beard Award Winner Eric Ripert
In New York, upscale sports bar and restaurant The 40/40 Club has reopened after a $10 million dollar renovation and expansion in time to serve March Madness recipes from Executive Chef Mike Shand. "We launched a new happy hour menu from 5 to 7 p.m. daily at the beginning of March, in addition to our full dinner menu, wanting to give our loyal customers an added incentive to come straight from work and settle in for the action," says Shand, previously the private chef for Jay-Z. "The menu consists of drink and food specials for $6, with one of the highlights being our signature 40/40 wings. On a big NBA night, we'll sell over 100 orders of these wings -- the equivalent of 120 pounds of wings total, so with March Madness and this new pricing earlier in the evening, we're expecting to see the numbers skyrocket."
Holsteins Shakes and Buns in The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas will be serving The Bracket Burger during the entire NCAA tournament. The 8-ounced dry-aged beef patty is topped with American cheese, a fried egg, firecracker onions, lettuce, tomato, avocado, spicy mustard and barbecue sauce and served with a choice of shoestring or steak fries. "Nothing goes better than burgers and basketball. The Bracket Burger was created for the big tournament and pairs perfectly with a beer while cheering on the March Madness action," says Anthony Meidenbauer, the restaurant's corporate executive chef.
|Lagasse's Stadium in Las Vegas offers more than 100 televisions for watching March Madness games.
Guests can enjoy prime game-watching and slam-dunk drink specials during the monthlong celebration at the newly renovated Minus5 Ice Bar at Mandalay Place. Minus5 now features 10 state-of-the-art high-definition televisions, including a 72-inch LED, as well as some of the finest imported glass tiles, exotic designer stone and innovative lighting. Guests can indulge in the new premium daiquiri bar, which features seven frosty flavors including the -5 Margarita, Frozen Coconuts, Watermelon Freeze and Grape Glacier. An array of sizes are available, from the 20-ouncer to the impressive 100-ouncer yard drink.
At Lagasse's Stadium in The Palazzo guests can enjoy celebrity Chef Emeril Lagasse's signature fare (such as the grilled chicken and cheese quesadilla or variety of sliders with shoestring fries in addition to small bites such as pretzels and beer cheese sauce washed down with drink specials) while watching the games on more than 100 high-definition televisions, including the 9-by-16-foot main television. They can also use "pocketcasino" devices to place bets.

HowTo:Survive the apocalypse
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
| HowTo
This article is part of Uncyclopedia's HowTo series.
See more HowTos
Has it been 25 winters since the big boom and your typical Zombies are chasing you down or Your machine gun keeps jamming when trying to kill terminators? Well, read this article to increase your survival by a guaranteed 25%. (No refunds)
edit Day 1
Day 1 - Welcome to the first day of your (miserable) new life. To think that it was only yesterday that you had to go to court for a parking ticket. But out here, since there are no rules, your parking ticket isn't a problem. Day 1 is always the hardest day for anyone. You have just witnessed 300 milion people get wiped off the face of the Earth in the blink of an eye and now you have to find shelter, weapons, food and other people (unless you're the last person on Earth, which would just be sad). There are some perks though, like the fact that you can now drive a tank in Los Angeles, California with out anyone trying to arrest you! That is if all the tanks haven't blown up or something.
edit Day 2
Day 2 is difficult for human survivors because they have not yet adjusted to the newly radiated world in which everything wants to kill you. Many survivor veterans suggest that inexperienced survivors take a walk in the bombed out park, watch a stranded man get eaten by some zombies or build up reasonable fortress to defend against sentinals.
edit Address the Situation
Well, are you going to fight? Or notsissy? Find out what you're up against! Hey, you could be the next John Conner. What are you fighting? Machines/Zombies/Disease(or old people//Yourself/Politics/gangs/Diseased-Mechanical-Zombies gangs)? Which one are you most scared of? Which one do you worry about? Which one will you live through? Will society ever be revived? Who should you trust? These are all questions you should be asking yourself even though these questions don't really matter anymore because your going to die (or worse- gang raped by angry diseased-mechanical-zombies!) anyway.
edit Preparedness
In the case of a zombie apocolypse, you would be dead without preparation and some know-how. So pay attention!
The first key to survival is knowing how to survive the initial brunt of the apocalypse, which in this case, is a nuclear explosion. Many people think under a table is a great place to hide in the event of a nuclear holocaust. What do you think this is, an earthquake!? You wouldn't want to hide under a table... or inside any fallout shelter... or even underground! Why? Because my little cousin could break a table and he's six years old!! Secondly, a fallout shelter would collapse if the world came to an end. Finally, it would take too long to dig underground and you can't breathe underground, can you? The best thing for you to do is to go in a Fallout 3 shelter which happens to be underground, whilst hiding under a table. Preferably with some beer for confidence!
edit Supplies
You should always have supplies. Even more so in the event of an apocalypse. You should try to find these things but choose wisely (because you ain't some awesome video-game protagonist who can carry about 24 rifles and 32 other firearms and not even look fat). Even if you are able to carry it all - YOU will look fat! In any apocolypse, it is highly advised that you carry the following items (at bare minimum):
- Flashlight: The new world might be dark because of all the fallout so pack a few of these. And don't forget the batteries, Einstein!
- Shotgun: Any type would be good for shooting zombies' heads off.
- Pistol: Your sidearm is a great defense against fresh fruit and also headcrabs.
- M16, M4A1, Ak-47: Every disaster movie has these, so carry at least seven of each. (With ammo - You wanna kill, right? So pack some ammo!)
- RPG-7: There might be Terminators in the destroyed future.
- Minigun with Exploding Bullets: You don't think you're going to kill a Terminator with BB gun, are you?
- A giant pair of gonads: Believe me these will come in handy.
- Model 1887: If Denzel Washington carries one of these, why can't you?Well he doesn't really carry one in any of his movies but it would be cool if he did.
- Sunglasses: Because they make you look badass.
- Condom: Does this really need an explanation?
- Health Points: A GameShark helps here.
- Crowbar: Well, if some scientist guy who wore glasses survived a entire game with one, why can't you?
- AMMO: Your guns will be lonely without it. (And you will be dead)
- Friendship: Always good for cannon fodder. And if of the correct gender, also serves for entertainment.
- Boat: Some one might have left their sprinklers on for a hundred years and flooded the Earth.
- Plane: If the world is flooded, you could fly to Mt. Everest. Unless you forgot to put fuel in the plane.
- Fuel: For that plane to fly to Mt. Everest.
- Gas Mask: The world will be smelly after the Apocalypse. Believe me.
edit Things to do in the future
25 winters ago, everybody you knew left you to live in paradise in the glorious land of Heaven. Leaving you behind to suffer. As of now, you are probably lying in a ditch - ready to die . But you're not going to die, are you now? You have an entire life to live - so you better make it grand! For example, you can travel to Washington D.C and live in the white house and start your own community and eventually evolve it into a civilisation. Congratulations!! You survived to see civilization again! (Now make this guide your new Bible!) Either that or you can still live in that ditch. Just remember - keep your shades on.
edit Things NOT to Do in the Future
So the apocalypse has happened, all your family is dead and most of the modern world has crumbled into various fractions and groups. You are the last survivor and become a trench coat wearing lone wolf because you know chicks dig that. Except one small thing... just one cut is enough to kill you. That's right you can be the most badass Raider on Earth who has killed entire legions of corrupted machines and radioactive zombies until you trip and scrape your knee. You see, before the apocolypse, people had technology and computers and where able to see these incredibly small bugs called bacteria. Bacteria are like Nazis. They kill anything that's not them. They also reproduce rapidly and they are pretty much everywhere (and by everywhere I mean everywhere). Once these germs get inside you, they pretty much fuck shit up. Unless bandits and resistance members haven't raided the local pharmacy or hospital, you're most likely going to die a slow, agonizing death because there will be no bacteria-killing medicine. Tough luck, kid!
edit Things to worry about
- Gangs: If they are bad on this site- then they must be bad in life of the future.
What to do if you confront them: Cut their arms off or unload them with lead/spears (or lead-spears, if you have some).
- Terminators: These hellspawns will make your life miserable.
What to do if you confront them: Run like hell, try shooting them. (But not like a sissy - they hate sissies! Hell, everybody hates sissies! Except, perhaps, sissies themselves).
- Cannibals: Watch out for these bastards, as they will tell you Come, stay! We will take care of you.
What to do if you confront them: Just shoot them.
- Zombies: These beasts will kill you and force you to commit adultery.
What to do if you confront them: Just shoot them.
- Hitch-hikers: You have seen Book of Eli, right? Just remember - they don't use soap, so you can smell them a mile away. (However, if you yourself don't use soap, you will probably smell like shit and are likely to smell yourself nd think it is a hitch-hiker's scent.)
What to do if you confront them: Unload a clip on them. Or two, just to show that you are really BADASS!
- People Who Wear Bandannas: You can only trust them if they are your friends, but then again who can you trust?!
What to do if you confront them: Same thing as above. Just fight them on a abandoned oil rig or base, for a change of scenery.
- Cults: These people promise you that God will save us, even though God abandoned us 25 winters ago.
What to do if you confront them: Easy - Use your gun.
- Militia Groups: These people where once like you except they have more guns than you.
What to do if you confront them: Shoot them and infiltrate their outposts.
- Radiation: You ever read a comic book about some guy who falls in radiation and gives him super powers? Well, that's all wrong. The only thing you will get with radiation is Super Cancer!
WARNING: Radiation kills 12% of survivors every year.
- Deserted Hospitals: They will always have zombies or something in it! Or thieves who want your guns and supplies.
WARNING: Stay away from these, unless you feel BADASS (P.S. If you feel too much badass, you may just be suffering from badass-etaria).
edit Occupations in the Future
Well, now that your formerly advance -thinking society has crumbled. So where are you going to find a job?
- Gang Member: These people will rob you and make you a part of them. So you might as well join them, if you run out of ammo. Or if you like their outfits. Or both!
- Travelers: Watch Book of Eli and you will find out. No seriously, it's a good movie!
- Other Jobs: Well, I can't name them all, because that will ruin the surprise!
- Resistance Member: You want to be a rag-tag group of soildiers who are just there for decoration and die oftenly? Then pick this.
- Mercenary: The crumbling governments and armies of the future may need your special skills to fight for salvation. Plus being a mercenary is badass!
- None of Them: Well, there is no leader forcing you to join a job, but who needs other people to save civilization, when all you need is yourself and a pair of shades? Just go and hide in that ditch we talked about earlier, ok?
- Caesar's Legion: The name sounds cool, so do that - you want to be cool! Go on, all the cool kids are doing it... Well, what is left of the cool kids.
- Baby Maker: This job is for the ladies (but they are gracious enough to let you help, if you are a dude). Nothing more than pleasure and extreme pain.
edit Conclusion
Even so, after all of this preparation and gathering of supplies, you will still die in the apocalypse if you forget the most important thing: Repopulate the world! (F*ck!!) Did I mention that? No? Well I just did, so Good! It is a good chance that you will get to see the horrors of the New World! Have a nice day! If you can still manage to!! And if you are still alive!!

OTV guitar transcription?
First of all, I am not a drummer and mainly a lurker on this board, but as a musician Im still blown away by the genious that is Virg and all that he touches. I check here daily to soak up any drum knowledge or download any clips you guys post...I was particularly impressed by the clip jonberg recently posted.
Second, how good is OTV?!?...wow, I FINALLY got my copy and it has to be one of the best progressive albums Ive ever heard. How about a reunion? Does the Virgil Donati Band play any of those tunes?...that would be wild.
What I really want to know is if anyone knows if there are guitar transcriptions of this fine album anywere out there. I got the album a couple of weeks ago and have worked my way through most of the songs but there are a few parts that are going to take some time.
There is really some great writing/composing and guitar work by Simon and TJ (and of course brilliant drumming) and I have had an absolute blast listening to and jamming with this CD and Im sure you all agree!

Saints on alert for Bears' Tillman and Forte
Saints key to containing Chicago means stopping Matt Forte and Charles Tillman.
For the
Saints, the key to containing the Chicago Bears may lie in stopping two products of Louisiana football: Lake Charles native and former Tulane running back
Matt Forte --- plus University of Louisiana Lafayette cornerback - Charles "Peanut" Tillman. These two players have translated their small-school success into star production in the pros.
The Bears run game is synonymous with Matt Forte, who has produced runs of 50 yards or more in each of the last two games - and tallied 480 yards from the line of scrimmage so far this season.
"He's a great runner. I've been watching him since the days before I was in the league," Saints defensive end Akiem Hicks said. "I've always watched that guy. He's a great player, a great running back. I like how fluid he is. We definitely want to do our best to shut down the running game."
The Saints run defense is one of the Black and Gold's weakest areas - so beware.
Forte is also a dual threat for the Bears: he's stepping up his role in the passing game as well.
"He looks as good as he's ever been in his career," Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins said. "He's one of those guys - they can hand it off to him and he can make plays in the running game. He can also kill you in he running game. When they check it down to him, he's great in the open field. He makes things happen for them. He's someone you better know where he's at every play."
This game, ball security is at a higher premium that ever. Today's outcome may very well come down to turnovers.
The Bears are the best at taking the ball away - having forced 14 fumbles so far this season. The Bears coaching staff teaches takeaways as an art - and incorporates them into their game plan. Turnover ratio is the stat New Orleans' offensive tackle Zach Strief is eyeballing:
"You go back, I think that holds up over every year of professional football I've ever played," Strief said. "It is by far the biggest individual stat in any game. You open up the newspaper and you look at the turnover ratio, and if there's a plus by one team, you're good taking that that team won."
Consider this: the Saints are tied with the Bears in turnover ratio at +5.
The man who shoulders the load for the Bears when it comes to stripping, punching and freeing balls: cornerback Charles Tillman.
"They're pretty amazing at getting the ball out," Strief said. "Obviously Charles Tillman is a guy you hear a lot about. He tied an NFL record last year with 10 forced fumbles, and the next 12 guys on that list were defensive ends that are getting to the quarterback and stripping a guy who's not looking at them."
This week, the Saints offense and defense have both carefully studied how the Bears force turnovers. It's been a point of emphasis in film sessions. The Black and Gold's offense will be on high alert to recognize and recover balls. The defense meanwhile knows it needs to do its share of forcing fumbles this week more than ever - to get the ball back in quarterback Drew Brees' hands and even out the turnover ratio.

Program Formats
The MA program in business economics is available through both a "regular" and a "co-operative" stream. This program prepares economists for a career where specialization is required in economic forecasting, economic policy analysis, industry and market studies, financial economics, strategic planning, and public policy and business. Combining a specific focus on business economics with advanced training in economic theory, quantitative methods and applied research, the program also prepares students for doctoral studies.
Program Requirements
Each student must complete the equivalent of 9 one-term courses. The equivalent of six half-credit courses are required, while three are electives. Students must complete the three core courses in Term One before proceeding to Term Two. At least one elective must be from the Department of Economics. Students may take one extra half-credit course in any academic term, subject to the approval of the Graduate Officer. Students may take at most three half-credit elective courses from graduate courses in the MBA program.
The required courses provide students with advanced knowledge in economic theory, applied economic analysis, quantitative methods. They are also designed to ensure that all students have a similar graduate experience, and achieve a comprehensive knowledge of their field, thus fulfilling the university's comprehensive requirement for MA candidates.
Term 1 - Fall:
- EC620 Microeconomics I
- EC640 Macroeconomics I
- EC655 Econometrics
Term 2 - Winter:
- EC665 Forecasting, Time Series Analysis, and Survey Design
- Two Elective Courses, at least one of which is an Economics elective
Term 3 - Spring or Winter or Fall:
- One Elective Course
- EC681 *Research Paper and Seminar
Co-operative Option Requirements
Students in the Master of Arts in Business Economics program who wish to pursue the co-op option must submit a résumé, application form and transcript of their undergraduate program as part of their initial application to the MABE program.
The business economics co-op is a limited-enrolment program, and admission is competitive. Students indicate at the time of application if they wish to be considered for co-op. Based on their application material, applicants may be selected for an interview by a co-op administrator. The decision to admit to the co-op stream is based on the applicant's academic record, résumé, interview performance, recent work experience, recent volunteer service to their community, and extracurricular activities at university. Offers of admission to the co-op option will be made in conjunction with offers of admission to the MABE program. Co-op students support the administration of the Laurier Co-op program by paying fees in the fall and winter terms of year one.
The Co-op Office supports participants in their job search efforts and preparation for interview through workshops and individual attention. After completing two academic terms, co-op students embark on one of:
- One 4-month work term
- An eight-month work term
If students do one 4-month work term, it takes place during the spring (May to August) term. Students doing one 8-month work term do so between May and December. In order to proceed to their first work term, all co-op students must be in good academic standing and must have completed all of the core requirements of term one and term two. Towards the end of the work term, students discuss their experience in a work term report that will be reviewed by a co-op co-ordinator and the graduate officer of the Department of Economics.
After their work term, co-op students return to campus for a final academic term in the academic term after their final work term concludes.

MOP 8, Fifth Edition
Developed simultaneously with the new edition of MOP 8, a separate manual of practice has been published to address the use of computer models in the design of wastewater treatment processes. An Introduction to Process Modeling for Designers — MOP 31 provides a broad range of information to enable process engineers to understand general modeling concepts, terminology unique to computer modeling, and practical guidance and ideas on how to use process models for design of small, medium-size, and large wastewater treatment plants. MOP 7, Sixth EditionThe Wastewater Collection Systems Management, Manual of Practice No. 7, Sixth Edition, provides up-to-date guidance on the oversight of wastewater collection systems, including gravity sewers, pumping stations, force mains, and other sewer-conveyance-related facilities. Integrating asset-management principles to individual topics, this volume offers strategies for developing a comprehensive asset-management program that encompasses capacity, management, operations, and maintenance principles; as well as the business, engineering, human resource, and communications aspects of a wastewater collection systems project. Information management has been added to this edition to provide guidance on how managers can leverage digital tools to improve decision-making. A chapter on emergency preparedness and security has been added to address natural disasters, incidents caused by humans, and technological failures. MOP 32Energy Conservation in Water and Wastewater Treatment Facilities, Manual of Practice No. 32 discusses principles and concepts of energy requirements, potential sources of inefficiency, and recommended energy conservation measures for specific equipment and processes in water and wastewater treatment. The manual addresses utility billing procedures and incentives, as well as energy considerations for electric motors and transformers, pumps, variable controls, aeration systems, blowers, and solids processes. Because energy represents the largest or second-largest expense in a water or wastewater utility's budget, alongside personnel costs, cost control through energy management should be a high priority for all managers.

The past year has revealed a cascade of decaying water infrastructure across the United States. Americans have watched as cars are swept down rivers and entire communities are doused with water because of main breaks and overflows. Swallowed vehicles are becoming regular news as collapsing pipes create sinkholes. The gap in water infrastructure investment is becoming readily apparent. Utilities are approaching these challenges in different ways, such as implementing rate hikes, bond issues, and asset management programs. Many are seeking partnerships at the federal, state, and local levels. At WEFTEC.09 in Orlando, Fla., water experts discussed such proposals as the Clean Water Trust Fund, a national water bank, and State Revolving Fund appropriations. They explored new approaches, including expanding the definition of water infrastructure to include "green" infrastructure and decentralized treatment options. One theme remained consistent: Public awareness and appreciation are essential to any sustainable future for water infrastructure. A new report by the Water Environment Research Foundation (WERF; Alexandria, Va.) confirms the need for public awareness of these issues. After interviewing elected and appointed officials individually and in focus groups, WERF concluded that public outreach is an essential complement to sustainable asset management. Education is needed to build public support for the decisions necessary for infrastructure sustainability.
The Water Is Life, and Infrastructure Makes It Happen™ education initiative was developed by the Water Environment Federation (Alexandria, Va.) to meet this need. Eye-catching graphics and thought-compelling slogans, designed specifically for utilities without large public relations budgets, are free, downloadable, and customizable. They promote the correlation between water infrastructure and quality of life, making the connections with public health, the environment, and a strong economy. More than 150 utilities have put them to use so far. To learn more, see www.WaterIsLife.net. E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com to receive a free CD containing educational materials to use in your community.

Greatest heavy metal album of all time. No contest. Not even "7th son..." or "Painkiller" UP THE ICED!
Written by IronBlackZepp on 05.04.2008 at 22:52
For some reason I just cant get into this band. My friend has some of the albums including his one, but I really dont care for them. I dont know, Barlow's voce mabey isnt my cup of tea, its too deep for my taste. Also all of the songs sound a lot alike on this album because I think most of em have acoustic guitar at the begining and then get heavy. Definanty not the best heavy metal album, in my opinion anyway.

Vogue Magazine Presents The Chanel Bicycle, Because Coco Loved Sports
Posted By Sarah Backhouse On June 24, 2009 @ 8:00 am In Alternative Vehicles,Biking Monkie Style | No Comments
Despite my acute phobia of helmet hair, riding a bike suddenly seems like an attractive proposition… and I swear it has nothing to do with the new Chanel bicycle, which will be sold exclusively at Chanel boutiques next month. The eight-speed ergonomic bike is part of the luxury brand's spring/summer 2008 collection and is an ode to Coco Chanel, who had a strong passion for sports.
In his 1996 book L'Allure de Chanel, Paul Morland quotes the legendary designer as claiming to have invented the female sport suit. Before that, she says, "They had very low waistlines, and were constrained at the hips, the legs, everywhere. By inventing the jersey, I liberated the body, I got rid of the waistline, I created a new silhouette."
Now 11 years later, the company's trying to do the same with the bike. Like the rest of Chanel's line, the bicycle is destined to become an instant modern classic and a must-have for any socially conscious fashionista. It's hand finished in refined black and of course is emblazoned with the obligatory double C logo. So what if it costs $12,400? Think of the all gasoline you'll be saving and greenhouse gases you won't be emitting. Well that is the the 2 hours your not jetting around the world in your private airplane, of course. Now, if only Chanel would design a bike helmet to match.(Spotted in Vogue Magazine)
Question for the Monkies or Drones reading this, how many of you out there, would drop a cool $12k on a Chanel Bike? Why or why not? Is this a good investment maybe for a future auction?

On November 11, 2004 Wayne High School grad Jason Baker kicked off for the Indianapolis Colts. He kicked off exclusively while Colts kicker Mike Vandejagt nursed an injury. Baker was cut by Indianapolis one month later.
The next day Jason was picked up by the Denver Broncos. And he soon found himself playing against the Colts as the Denver Broncos' kicking specialist.
Jason Baker has a career as a professional football player. I caught up with Jason last week when he was home in Indiana. He has extensive experience as a holder but his primary job is a punter and kick-off specialist. He signed as an NFL rookie free agent four years ago. He goes on to tell me that he has never been unemployed. That credit goes to a strong leg, and his agent, Frank Murtha from Chicago, Illinois. "I may not be playing right now without Frank," says Baker. "He is an extension of my family—-he is a blessing. I had to choose from several agents, many of them well known. I prayed over it and Frank became the answer to my prayers."
Jason has learned from the NFL releases that it is not always a negative to be released. He has no control over how long he will be with a team—"It goes with the job—it goes with the game, unlike baseball and basketball contracts that have built-in guarantees, football players live on the edge." He told me that he doesn't like to see: "Jason Baker claimed off waivers," flashing across the CNN Sports screen, but, "It lets everyone out there know that I am available."
I asked him if the thin air at Mile High (Invesco Field) in Denver had any effect on the kicking game? He said, "It's is a minor variable. The weather and the wind have more effect than the thin air, but the biggest variable is the ball. The NFL rules committee decided to use a 'K' ball. It has a 'K' branded into the side of it and the ball is harder than the broken-in footballs. We also kick from a shorter tee and of course the placement is now on the 30-yard line instead of the 35. All these factors tend to make my job more difficult."
While growing up in Waynedale Jason attended Maplewood Elementary, Memorial Park Middle School, and Wayne High School. He worked at Hill's Meat Market and also caddied at Orchard Ridge Country Club. He played on an Elmhurst Little League team and coached Wildcat Baseball and is a parishoner of St. Therese Catholic Church.
Jason began playing football at Wayne High School under Coach Mark Newlin and Assistant Coach Dave Mohr. When asked who helped him acquire his skills as a kicker, Jason said that it was his punting coach, Dave Mohr, who he still keeps in contact with. Coach Mohr's advice to Jason was to get exposure and learn from his peers. Jason was a second-team All-Conference selection as a senior at Wayne, he handled kicking duties (39.0 yards per punt), played wide receiver and was the team captain in 1997. An all-around athlete, Baker also performed well at baseball during high school and college.
In college, at University of Iowa, while earning his bachelor's degree in business administration and entrepreneurship, he was the nation's top punter all four years. He set school records and ranked second in Big Ten history for punts and punting yards. Baker concluded his college career with 4 career punts of more than 69 yards.
In 2003 Jason was an integral part of the Kansas City Chiefs and was with the San Francisco 49ers from his rookie year of 2001 through most of the 2002 season. He appeared in two games for the Philadelphia Eagles at the end of 2002. Pro Football Weekly named him to its All-Rookie Team after he placed 21 of his 69 punts inside the 20-yard line. As a fourth year pro, in 2004, Baker was on the Indianapolis Colts' roster from November 11 – December 8 after Kansas City waived him in October.
Today working out 6 days a week is part of Jason's job. If he wants to continue to be good at what he does, he said he needs to work at it. He watches his diet and works out even when he is at home in Indiana. He has a house in Carmel, a personal physical therapist in Indianapolis, works out at the Indy Lifetime Fitness Center, and often is seen on Homestead's turf or Canterbury's grass field practicing. When asked what he missed most about Waynedale Jason said, "Bandidos!"
Jason's family lives on Legoma Drive in Waynedale. He is the son of Jeffrey Baker who retired from Zollner's and is currently working at Sycamore Hills Golf Club. His mom works for Water Furnace. Catie, his sister, is 21 years old and a graduate from Wayne High School.
I asked Jason who he thought would win this year's Super Bowl. Jason replied, "The New England Patriots are an AFC team and the Philadelphia Eagles are an NFC team. I play for AFC...definitely, New England."
And how does it feel to have a bunch of 250 pound linemen bearing down on you while you are trying to kick the ball? "It is really not a problem," he said. "I am totally focused on what I am about to do. If the center does his job, and gets me the ball then those guys never come into the picture. I don't even notice they are there."
Jason Baker, a gifted athlete from Waynedale, Indiana, in four years has achieved the benefits of a football pro. If you think about it, there are only 32 kicking jobs in the nation--in the NFL. Jason Baker has one of them.

Hours of testimony from those who oppose a bill that would cut funding for Planned Parenthood didn't sway most House of Representatives committee members who voted on it.
Dozens of Planned Parenthood supporters showed up at the Statehouse yesterday to oppose House Bill 298, which would reprioritize how federal family-planning money is distributed in Ohio. The bill passed the House Health and Aging Committee 13-9.
The legislation, if adopted, would cut 7 to 10 percent of Planned Parenthood's funding, or about $2 million, said Stephanie Kight, CEO of Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio.
Much of the discussion during yesterday's committee meeting centered on the services Planned Parenthood provides besides abortions, such as cancer screenings and birth control. Many of those who testified against the bill said Planned Parenthood is a name people recognize and trust, and reducing funding would reduce women's access to health care. Federal money already cannot be used for abortions.
Kimberly Shepherd, a Columbus-based gynecologist, said during testimony that changing the funding system "is not based on medical need," but on an ideological agenda.
"I don't see in this bill that we're improving the system," Shepherd said.
The Rev. John T. Coats, executive director of Ohio Right to Life, argued that the bill would better serve the needs of Ohioans by providing funding to other health-care services.
"This will help provide parity for other organizations to provide a myriad of services including family planning," he said.
Rep. John Barnes Jr., D-Cleveland, said the bill would hurt certain populations. "This bill targets poor people; it targets college students," he said.
No Republican members spoke in favor of the bill after testimony ended.
Pamela Engel is a fellow in Ohio University's E.W. Scripps School of Journalism Statehouse News Bureau.

Testbed Configuration for Memory Parameters Check
To check out the technical parameters and overclocking potential of the tested kits we assembled a special test platform. Unlike the platform we used in our previous DDR3-1800 SDRAM Roundup, we decided to use a newer platform this time built on an Intel X38 chipset. The testbed was assembled on an Asus P5E3 Deluxe mainboard that later on proved to behave exactly like Asus P5K3 Deluxe on Intel P35, which we used in our previous test session. In other words, DDR3 SDRAM overclocks identically on Asus P5E3 Deluxe and Asus P5K3 Deluxe mainboards, which allows us to compare the today's results against those obtained earlier.
So, our testbed included the following hardware components:
- CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 (LGA775, 2.66GHz, 1333MHz FSB, 4MB L2, Conroe).
- Mainboard: ASUS P5E3 Deluxe (LGA775, Intel X38, DDR3 SDRAM).
- Graphics card: OCZ GeForce 8800GTX.
- HDD: Western Digital WD1500AHFD.
- PSU: SilverStone SST-ST85ZF (850W).
- OS: Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate x86
Memory overclocked with the FSB:Mem divider of 1:2. System stability was checked with S&M 1.9.0 and Prime95 25.5 utilities.
I would like to point out that you need to overclock the FSB beyond 450MHz in order to be able to clock the memory at 1800MHz or higher, because the memory controllers of the current DDR3 chipsets – Intel P35 and Intel X38 – do not support any lower FSB:Mem dividers than 1:2. This is why we had to reduce the processor clock frequency multiplier to 7x and increase its Vcore to 1.4V to ensure successful outcome of our overclocking experiments. The North Bridge voltage in this case was also increased to 1.55V.
