Objectives: For the choice of treatment in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), it is important to make a distinction between Crohn disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). To look for pathognomonic features of CD, upper gastrointestinal tract (UGT) endoscopy has become part of the routine evaluation of children with suspected IBD; however, pathological changes can also be found in the UGT in patients with UC. The aims of the present study were to establish the role of UGT involvement in the diagnostic assessment of suspected IBD in children and to detect histopathological changes in the UGT mucosa, which can distinguish CD from non-CD (UC and non-IBD).
Methods: Biopsies (colon, ileum, duodenum, stomach, esophagus) from children suspected of having IBD who underwent endoscopy between 2003 and 2008 were reassessed by a blinded, expert pathologist. The histological findings of the UGT were compared with the diagnosis based on ileocolonic biopsies and the final diagnosis.
Results: In 11% of the children with CD, the diagnosis was based solely on the finding of granulomatous inflammation in the UGT. Focal cryptitis of the duodenum and focally enhanced gastritis were found significantly more frequently in children with CD compared with children with UC and non-IBD, with a specificity and positive predictive value of 99% and 93% and 87.1% and 78.6%, respectively.
Conclusions: Histology on ileocolonic biopsies alone is insufficient for a correct diagnosis of CD or UC in children. UGT endoscopy should, therefore, be performed in the diagnostic assessment of all children suspected of having IBD.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) consists of 2 major clinical entities known as Crohn disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). In approximately 5% to 30% of children, differentiation between CD and UC is not possible and a diagnosis of indeterminate colitis (IC) is made (1–5). There is no single diagnostic test as a criterion standard that can reliably distinguish between CD and UC. A definitive diagnosis of the type of IBD is based upon a combination of medical history, endoscopic findings, histological abnormalities, and radiological features. In general, we state that the inflammatory process in UC is limited to the large bowel, whereas CD may occur throughout the entire gastrointestinal tract, including the upper gastrointestinal tract (UGT); therefore, endoscopy of the UGT may play an important role in the diagnostic assessment of CD in children. Several reports have shown that pathological changes may also have been found in the UGT in UC (6–12). Microscopic mucosal lesions have been identified in biopsies from the UGT in 64% to 90% of CD and in 38% to 70% of patients with UC (6,7,10,11). Most of these findings were nonspecific and not helpful in discriminating CD from UC. Even focally enhanced gastritis, as an isolated finding, which is often reported to be suggestive of CD, is neither sensitive nor specific for CD (13). Today, there is still no uniformity on the diagnostic criteria of IBD of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract (14). Only the detection of epitheloid granulomas appears to be the histological hallmark of gastric CD; therefore, the question arises whether endoscopy of the UGT is still justified in the diagnostic assessment of childhood IBD, taking into account the higher risk of complications and increased costs (15). The aims of the present study were to establish the fraction of pediatric patients with CD whose diagnosis relies on the detection of granulomatous inflammation in UGT and to detect histopathological changes in the UGT mucosa, besides granulomas, which can distinguish CD from non-CD (UC and non-IBD).
All children suspected of having IBD visiting our department of pediatric gastroenterology between January 2003 and December 2008 were included in the present study. Presenting symptoms were extracted retrospectively from the medical charts. Because of our standard procedure, all patients underwent both UGT endoscopy and ileocolonoscopy. Before performing endoscopy, a bacterial gastrointestinal infection was ruled out with a fecal culture.
All of the patients had at least 1 biopsy specimen taken from each part of the colon (cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, rectum), terminal ileum, duodenum, stomach (antrum and corpus), and esophagus. Biopsies were taken from macroscopically normal mucosa and from inflamed areas. The tissue was formalin fixed, paraffin embedded, and routinely processed and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Each biopsy specimen was cut in 2 or more levels to increase the chances of detecting histopathological changes. Helicobacter pylori was detected by both histology and culture from antral biopsies. In the present study, biopsies from all of the sites were reassessed by an expert pathologist who was blinded to the clinical condition and other test results. First, a diagnosis based on ileocolonic biopsies was recorded. Second, a new diagnosis was recorded based on the histological diagnosis of the lower GI tract and the presence or absence of granulomatous inflammation in UGT. After all, the final diagnosis was made based on the reference standard procedure, which consisted of endoscopic findings and histopathological interpretation (as described above), imaging studies, and clinical follow-up data and/or repeat endoscopy (Table 1) (7,16). Imaging studies, small bowel follow-through, or contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed in all of the patients without a definite diagnosis based on endoscopic findings and histopathological interpretation of UGT and ileocolonic biopsies. Clinical follow-up data were extracted retrospectively from the medical charts.
All of the histopathological changes found in the biopsies from the UGT, besides granulomas, which were a diagnostic marker, were analyzed against the final diagnosis. Focally enhanced gastritis was defined as the presence of at least 1 foveolum/gland surrounded and infiltrated by inflammatory cells. Focal inflammation of the stomach was defined as chronic and/or acute inflammatory infiltrate occurring in only a portion of a biopsy and/or in 1 biopsy but not in another taken from the same area, without infiltration of foveolae or glands. Focal duodenal cryptitis was defined as chronic and/or acute inflammatory infiltrate with at least 1 crypt surrounded and infiltrated by inflammatory cells.
Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 18 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL). Because of the relatively small sample sizes within groups, we used Fisher exact t tests when comparing categorical variables between groups and nonparametric tests (Kruskal-Wallis) when comparing continuous variables, such as age and duration of disease. The criterion for statistical significance was defined as P < 0.05.
A total of 172 children suspected of IBD were enrolled (boys 54%, mean age 12.3 years, range 1.6–18.1 years). Based on all of the available data, the final diagnosis was CD in 70 patients, UC in 33 patients, IC in 1 patient, and non-IBD in 68 patients. The results of the histological reassessment of ileocolonic biopsies alone, the diagnosis based on all of the biopsies, and the final diagnosis are shown in Figure 1. Because of the small number of only 1 patient with IC, this patient was not included in the statistical analyses, but the patients also did not show histological abnormalities in the UGT. No differences were found between the 3 main groups with regard to age at endoscopy and sex. Both duration of symptoms before presentation and follow-up period were significantly different between groups (P = 0.03 and P < 0.0001, respectively). These data and the presenting symptoms are shown in Table 2.
Noncaseating epithelioid granulomas in the UGT were present in 21 (30%) children with CD. Granulomas were found in the esophagus in 3 patients, in the stomach in 19 children (antral, 10 patients; corpus, 5 patients; both, 4 patients), and in the duodenum in 2 children. In all 3 patients with granulomas in the esophagus, granulomas were also found in the colon and the stomach. Nonorganized aggregates of histiocytes and Langerhans giant cells in the UGT were seen in 10 (14%) children with CD.
In 8 children (11%), the diagnosis based on histopathological assessment of the ileocolonic biopsies alone (2 UC, 4 IC, 2 non-IBD) was changed to CD after assessing the biopsies from the UGT (Fig. 1). In these children, a granulomatous inflammation was found in UGT consisting of granulomas (n = 5) and nonorganized aggregates of histiocytes and Langerhans giant cells (n = 3), whereas the biopsies from the lower GI tract showed no specific features of CD. These 8 children would have been diagnosed incorrectly if endoscopy of the UGT had not been performed and the diagnosis was based on biopsies from the lower gastrointestinal tract alone. In 11 patients, the diagnosis after histological reassessment of biopsies from the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract differed from the final diagnosis (Fig. 1, Table 3). Seven patients were diagnosed as having IC after histological reassessment of all of the biopsies, but turned out to have CD as the final diagnosis, and 2 patients diagnosed as having UC after histological reassessment of all of the biopsies turned out to have CD. Two patients diagnosed as having IC after histological reassessment of biopsies turned out to have UC as the final diagnosis.
The presence of esophageal inflammation was significantly higher in patients with CD compared with children with UC (P = 0.008), but was not significantly different compared with children with non-IBD (P = 0.28). Diffuse inflammation, consistent with gastroesopagheal reflux, was similarly found in all 3 groups. The presence of focal inflammation was significantly higher in patients with CD compared with the children with non-IBD (11% vs 0%; P = 0.006) (Table 4).
The presence of microscopic gastric inflammation was significantly higher (P < 0.0001) in patients with CD compared with children with non-IBD, but it was not significantly different compared with children with UC (P = 0.19). Several patients had >1 type of inflammation in their biopsies from the antral and corpus mucosa. Focally enhanced gastritis was significantly more frequently seen in patients with CD (69%) compared with patients with UC (24%, P < 0.001) and patients with non-IBD (7%, P < 0.0001). The lesions were located in the antral mucosa in 22, in the corpus mucosa in 12, and in both in 27 patients. Specificity and positive predictive value of focally enhanced gastritis in CD were 87.1% and 78.6%, respectively. The lesions in all 3 groups consisted of a focal accumulation of chronic inflammatory cells (mononuclear cells; lymphocytes and plasma cells), active inflammatory cells (granulocytes; neutrophils and eosinophils), or both types of inflammatory cells. There was no significant difference in the composition of inflammatory infiltrates between the groups. Focal and diffuse inflammation occurred more frequently in patients with CD compared with non-IBD patients (P = 0.002 and P < 0.0001, respectively) but was found with equal frequency in patients with UC (both not significant). The composition of these inflammatory infiltrates was not significantly different between the groups. Reactive antrum gastritis, which may point to a bile-associated chemical gastritis, was frequently seen in non-IBD children (43%). H pylori infection was found in the biopsies of 10 patients with no significant difference between the groups (3 CD, 3 UC, 4 non-IBD) (Table 4).
The presence of duodenal inflammation was significantly higher in patients with CD compared with children with UC and non-IBD children. Focal cryptitis was seen significantly more frequently in patients with CD (19%) compared with children with UC and non-IBD children (0% and 1%; P = 0.008 and P = 0.001, respectively). Specificity and positive predictive value of focal cryptitis in CD were 99% and 93%, respectively (Table 4).
In our study, the diagnosis of CD was based solely on granulomatous inflammation of the UGT in 11% of the children. These children would not have been diagnosed correctly without UGT endoscopy. Furthermore, focal cryptitis of the duodenum and focally enhanced gastritis were found significantly more frequently in children with CD compared with children with UC and non-IBD children. Of these inflammatory changes, focal cryptitis of the duodenum showed a good specificity and positive predictive value of 99% and 93%, respectively, whereas the specificity and positive predictive value of focally enhanced gastritis in CD, 87.1% and 78.6%, respectively, were less convincing.
The value of UGT endoscopy is still a topic of debate. Performing endoscopy of the UGT increases the duration of the procedure, the risk of anesthesia, and procedural complications. Moreover, the increased number of biopsies also increases the costs. The European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition IBD Working Group has recommended routine UGT endoscopy at initial presentation in every child suspected of IBD (17). In contrast, a report from the working group of the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition and the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America refrained from recommending routine diagnostic use of endoscopy of the UGT in the diagnostic assessment of children with suspected IBD (18). In the published, so far sparse, literature, the frequency of pediatric patients with CD whose diagnosis relies on detection of granulomas in the UGT ranges between 7% and 20% (7,11,19). Based on the latter data, we advise the routine use of endoscopy of the UGT, to start in an early phase as being the most appropriate treatment.
The number of children with the diagnosis of CD based on inflammation isolated to the UGT would increase if besides granulomas, other histological markers for CD could be identified. To date, few studies have evaluated UGT histology in children with suspected IBD at initial diagnostic assessment and compared the histopathological findings in the UGT of patients with CD and UC and patients without IBD (6,7,9–11). Approximately two-thirds of all patients with CD and half of those with UC have microscopic mucosal lesions in the UGT (6,10,11); however, it remains controversial whether the frequently found nonspecific microscopic UGT lesions are of clinical relevance for the patient with IBD. To our knowledge, this is the first study showing that focal duodenal cryptitis differentiates between CD and UC or non-IBD. In 2 other pediatric studies, cryptitis of the duodenum was reported in, respectively, 26% (10) and 8% (20) of children with CD but was not seen in patients with UC or non-IBD patients; but because of the small number of patients in both studies, the difference between groups did not reach statistical significance.
Furthermore, our study shows that focally enhanced gastritis supports the diagnosis of CD but does not differentiate reliably between CD and UC or non-IBD. This finding corresponds with the study of Sharif et al (13). Oberhuber et al (21) found that focally enhanced gastritis was present in 76% of adult patients with CD compared with 0.8% of healthy controls.
Our data should be interpreted in the context of the following limitations. First, data were collected retrospectively; however, IBD is a disease without well-defined diagnostic criteria and no diagnostic criterion standard. Because of the retrospective design, we were able to integrate clinical, endoscopic, histological, and radiological features and use the final diagnosis as our reference standard. We used stringent criteria to classify our patients and were able to follow all of the patients for a long period. Furthermore, the non-IBD group is not an average of the general population; therefore, the prevalence of inflammation in the UGT may be higher in the non-IBD group compared with the general healthy population. None of these patients developed IBD or other gastrointestinal disease during the follow-up period.
In conclusion, in 11% of the children with CD, the diagnosis was based solely on finding granulomatous inflammation in the UGT. These children would have been misdiagnosed if endoscopy of the UGT had not been performed and the diagnosis would have been based on biopsies from the lower GI tract alone. Focal duodenal cryptitis is a significant finding, pointing toward a diagnosis of CD. The presence of focally enhanced gastritis suggests underlying CD but is not exclusive to this condition. It does not reliably differentiate among patients with CD or UC and patients without IBD. All of the other histological findings in the UGT do not differentiate between CD and UC or non-IBD. Therefore, the present study underlines that endoscopy of the UGT is essential in the diagnostic assessment of childhood IBD.

Syria has slipped deeper into the abyss. As many as 220 people were killed last week in a farming town, Tremseh, northwest of the city of Hama, by shelling and shooting from Syrian forces. Reports suggest the town was first attacked from the air and then stormed by militiamen who slaughtered civilians.
As bodies were grimly laid out in mass graves, the opposition called it a massacre, as did Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. The assault appears to fit a pattern of ethnic cleansing in which government forces and militias from Alawite villages lay siege to largely Sunni towns.
President Bashar Assad is an Alawite, part of a minority in Syria that is the backbone of his power. He has defied global appeals to stop the violent suppression of the rebellion against his rule.
Russia is shielding Mr. Assad, steadfastly refusing to support stronger measures sought by the United States and others. The United Nations' special envoy, Kofi Annan, laid out a plan for a cease-fire and political transition, but it has been shattered by the worsening violence.
The risks of inaction are more evident every day. The Wall Street Journal reported that military forces are moving part of Syria's stockpile of chemical weapons, for reasons that are unclear. Perhaps the regime is nervous and wants to safeguard the deadly nerve and blister agents.
Syria possesses delivery vehicles, including aerial bombs, artillery, and missiles. Would Mr. Assad, in a moment of irrational desperation, use a chemical weapon against his foes? It would be a grave turn of events. So would loss of control of the chemical-weapons stockpile.
Syria is not believed to possess biological weapons, but intelligence assessments have noted that the country has the technical infrastructure to support development of germ warfare agents. Right now, the chemical agents are a known and worrisome danger.
This week, the mandate for the U.N. mission in Syria expires. In the Security Council, the United States has proposed an extension that would invoke stiff sanctions against Syria if a cease-fire does not take hold within 10 days and the Syrian government does not pull back heavy weapons from population centers.
The goal is to squeeze Mr. Assad harder. But Russia and China, with veto power, don't want sanctions. The Obama Administration has conceded to Russian intransigence on Syria in the past.
It's time to stop. Should the sanctions proposal fail, the United States should allow the U.N. mission to expire. That would end the counterproductive charade of diplomacy at the Security Council.
It also would open the way for more effective Western action, such as greater support for the Free Syrian Army and for safe zones for civilians. Moscow should be told that if it wishes to avoid such steps, it must back U.N. sanctions.

Video/MP3 News Release
Boise, April 27, 2006 – A specialized unit of Boise Police Officers spent yesterday afternoon training to provide security in a high risk, potential weapon of mass destruction
(WMD) type event. This is the first time the unit has done scenario-based training involving WMD.
The training involves 30 officers who make up the Boise PD Crowd Intervention Team (CIT). The officers were also joined by crews from the Boise Fire Department. For both Fire and Police, this training offers excellent practical experience as well as building the communication and cooperation that will be critical in any large WMD-type event.
The officers wore full protective gear including respirators and other specialized equipment. They had on the heavy, cumbersome gear while training in activities like handcuffing, decontamination and securing of evidence, scenarios that could occur during a WMD event.
CIT's primary function at any WMD event would be perimeter security for other responding emergency agencies. The funding for the equipment used in the training comes from a grant from the Department of Homeland Security.

He's still missing chances, he's taking too many touches and he's not looking confident. After drawing a disappointing blank at the FIFA Club World Cup (there's no way that shot against Monterrey was going in), the Spaniard put in a miserable performance against Leeds in the Capital One Cup.
Here are five possible solutions to the problem with no mention of the obvious Radamel Falcao.

As you may have learned from our recent review, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 is far more attractive than the top-end GeForce GTX 680 in terms of the price/performance ratio. The difference in speed between these two graphics cards is small and can be easily eliminated through overclocking whereas the GTX 670 is as much as 20% cheaper, and also smaller and more economical. Therefore, it is not surprising that all graphics card makers that turn out Nvidia-based products have announced their own GeForce GTX 670s, including versions with original coolers, pre-overclocked frequencies and even custom PCBs. We'll take a look at three such products in this review. They come from Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd., Palit Microsystems Ltd., and Zotac International (MCO) Ltd.

Gender Studies Major BA
Gender studies offers students an interdisciplinary examination of the role of gender across the spectrum of human experience. The program investigates how gender functions and shapes the lives and experiences of women and men, including the institutional, social, and scientific forces that create meaning around gender, the struggles and achievements of women across cultures and time, and the study of GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender) identity and communities.
Courses in the gender studies program invite students to explore topics such as: the social construction of femininity and masculinity from both historical and contemporary perspectives; the intersections of gender with race, class, religion, nationality, age, sexual orientation and other social categories; gender and the body; gender and sexual identity as organizing factors in social institutions and creative production; gender within international contexts; and feminist theory.
The gender studies program consists of a core set of courses taught by faculty from a variety of disciplines as well as electives from across the university. Students in the program build their understanding of gender through academic study as well as community-based learning and action. The curriculum as a whole enables students to develop the analytic and communication skills crucial to professional success, while at the same time deepening their understanding of the history and contemporary dynamics of gender.

STCC Financial Aid - Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about financial aid? Financial Aid TV is a series of short videos that will answer your questions and help you clearly understand the financial aid process! Click to watch!
Q. Why am I considered a dependent student? I'm 21 years old and haven't lived with my parents for years. Federal regulations set the parameters for dependency status. You must answer "Yes" to one of the following to be independent:
- Were you born before January 1, 1993?
- As of today, are you married? (Answer "Yes" if you are separated but not divorced)
- At the beginning of the 2016-2017 school year, will you be working on a master's or doctorate program (such as an MA, MBA, MD, JD, PhD, EdD, or graduate certificate, etc.)?
- Are you currently serving on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces for purposes other than training?
- Are you a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces?
- Do you have children who will receive more than half of their support from you between July 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017?
- Do you have dependents (other than your children or spouse) who live with you and who receive more than half of their support from you, now and through June 30, 2017?

- At any time on or after July 1, 2015, did the director of a runaway or homeless youth basic center or transitional living program determine that you were an unaccompanied youth who was homeless or were self-supporting and at risk of being homeless?
Q. What kinds of information do I need to fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid? The FAFSA is the document you must complete to be considered for financial aid at STCC. You will need information from your Federal Income Tax Transcript and W2's from 2015, asset information (amount of cash, savings, checking and investments) and other untaxed income you may receive. If you are a dependent student your parent will also need to supply the same information mentioned above.
Q. What is verification? Verification is a process where a STCC financial aid staff members compares information you provided on your FAFSA with information on tax and income documents. The Federal Department of Education randomly selects students for verification. If you are selected for verification, you will be asked to bring in copies of tax and income documents.
Q. What is "Satisfactory Academic Progress"? How does it affect my financial aid? To be eligible for financial aid, Federal and Massachusetts authorities and official STCC policy require students to be making Satisfactory Academic Progress. Each semester the Financial Aid Office monitors students' GPA, and also reviews the success of financial aid students in earning credits toward their degrees and certificates. To learn more about Satisfactory Academic Progress, please click here.
Q. What happens to my financial aid if I drop out during the semester? Financial aid is pro-rated for the semester, meaning that aid is earned at a certain rate and not completely provided at the very beginning of the semester. After the 60 percent point in the semester, all financial aid is considered earned. Generally, earned aid is subtracted from your bill for tuition, fees, and books. If earned aid is less than your bill, you will have to pay the balance. For more information on withdraws & refund policies, click here.
Q. How is my bill for tuition and fees paid? If you've received a financial aid award, your tuition and fees are deducted from it. Any excess funds-after any allowable charges for books and supplies-come to you as a refund later in the semester. If your bill isn't covered completely by financial aid, you will need to make arrangements at the beginning of the semester to pay the balance of the bill.

9:00 – 12:00
Kroeber 155
Perhaps the most effective vehicles for the development, reproduction, reification, and public dissemination of representations of archaeology and archaeological narratives are the various forms of daily-consumed popular media. While representations of archaeological practice and discourses in film and fiction have and continue to garner much attention, the focus must be expanded to rapidly developing media such as digital gaming, 3D online environments (i.e. Second Life), websites and other internet-based media such as Wikipedia and blogs, music, and television programming (i.e. History Channel, Discovery). The papers in this session attempt to move beyond simply identifying and correcting implausible or radical interpretations of archaeology in these media and instead focus on deeper analyses of the themes and politics central to the discourses and representations that course through them. How do these discourses impact populations that commonly bear the brunt of pernicious archaeological narratives (ie Native populations and historically and presently marginalized or vulnerable communities)? What themes emerge from within the academy and how are these themes reconfigured and repurposed for public consumption via various media? How is archaeological praxis conceptualized and communicated? How, ultimately, is the past, and our knowledge of the past, represented? By identifying and critiquing archaeological discourses as they have come to be represented in massively consumed media, these papers attempt to bring a wide range of popular media to the attention of the archaeological community and to explore ways in which they can be utilized by archaeologists to enrich their own political, social, and public educational efforts.
Papers Accepted:
Victorian Representations of Archaeology in 21st Century Popular Media
Kevin McGeough, University of Lethbridge, email@example.com
The emergence of archaeology as a professional discipline in the 19th century coincided with an explosion of new forms of popular media. Archaeology was represented in many of these media forms – in periodicals, novels, panoramas, theatres, expositions, and even the rituals of secret societies. Many of the same themes and issues that are explored in popular archaeological representations now were established in Victorian times. Some similarities reflect structural issues implicit in the media. Others reflect continued concerns such as understanding the self and the other. This paper seeks to explore the 19th century roots of contemporary archaeological popular representation.
Mediating Bones and Bones as Mediator
Manjree Khajanchi, Independent scholar, email@example.com
The American television series Bones has garnered much attention since its beginnings in 2005, securing a place in the hearts of audiences worldwide. Inspired by the life and works of forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs, this successful program gives audiences a chance to see how forensic cases involving human remains are handled within a laboratory setting. This paper will expand on several central themes portrayed in the show, which include (1) the depiction of teamwork, (2) the battle/balance between logic and emotion, and (3) the interconnectedness of the living and the dead.
Flying Under the Radar: Canadian Archaeology in the Public Imagination
Catherine Zagar, McMaster University, email@example.com, Tristan Carter, McMaster University, & Kelly Brown, McMaster University.
A 2009-2010 survey of attitudes towards archaeology conducted at McMaster University indicated that only a tiny percentage of 400+ students imagined Canada as archaeological space, despite the survey population's overwhelming self-identification as Canadian. To explore this anomaly, we focus on popular media and Ontario school curricula. National Geographic Magazine, the most commonly identified media outlet in the survey, contains few representations of Canadian archaeology. Secondly, archaeology comprises only a minor role in elementary and secondary schools. In our paper, we propose means by which we can explore the archaeological imagination and generate more awareness and interest in archaeological work in Canada.
Virtual Archaeology: Public Archaeology in Second Life
Marion Smeltzer, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, email@example.com, Beverly Chiarulli, R. Scott Moore, Benjamin L. Ford, & Sarah W. Neusius
Archaeologists have effectively used the World Wide Web as a vehicle for public outreach for the past 15 years. As new technologies develop, new opportunities for public education also appear. Virtual reality environments like "Second Life" provide interactive experiences for the public as well as for the classroom. This presentation describes the creation of the IUP Second Life Archaeology Island. The virtual world includes sections on Roman, Maya, Late Woodland Pennsylvania, and underwater archaeological sites and can be used to orient project participants as well as provide the public with the opportunity to "virtually" travel through time.
Collapse, Colonialism and Technology: The Public Lives of Archaeological Discourses in Science Fiction.
Guido Pezzarossi, Stanford University, firstname.lastname@example.com & Ryan Kennedy, Indiana University
Science Fiction as a genre is situated in a productive relationship with archaeological/historical disciplines and their discursive products. The play with time central in sci-fi brings ways of knowing and representing, presents, pasts and futures into explicit (and revealing) dialogues. As such, sci-fi has contributed to the reification, elaboration, and wide circulation of problematic interpretations of archaeological discourse that are in turn used to (re)frame the present/future. In this paper we will critically examine various popular media that engage with archaeological discourses of technology, social complexity, colonialism, and "collapse" and explore the ramifications of their post-academic public lives.
How Not to Sound Like an Idiot
Adrian Praetzellis, Sonoma State University, email@example.com
I'm here under false pretenses —this paper has nothing to do with theory. It's about how archaeologists can successfully negotiate a media (newspaper, TV, radio) interview. What do reporters want? Should you take this interview? What preparation should you do? And how should you deal with awkward questions? Although consultant archaeologists must be particularly careful in their dealings with the press, none of us wants to sound like a nitwit. The presenter is an archaeologist who has generally managed to avoid being screwed by the news media.
Historical Process in Video Games
Bryn Williams, Stanford University, firstname.lastname@example.com
This paper explores various theories of history that are implicit in popular video games. It discusses the techniques used to naturalize those theories and the various in-game justifications given for those theories.

A colleague and I were walking out of a meeting yesterday morning and talking about the problems that garbage and litter cause for Granada's tourism image. As we walked through Central Park, we noticed how exceptionally dumpy it looked, with trash thrown everywhere, converting each tree planter into a mini landfill of plastic bags, Styrofoam cups and other rubbish.
Disgusted with the filthy scene before us, we hastened across the park to the Mayor's Office to find out who we could talk to address the disgusting atmosphere right under their noses. With the help of a cleaning woman, who conspiratorially unlocked the office door of the secretary of the mayor and let us in, we got a face-to-face audience with a high-ranking municipal employee. Unfortunately, it was no help.
We told the city's secretary that we were there because we are concerned about all the garbage strewn about town. We told her it's not only an atheistic eyesore, but it's also a public-health issue. She told us that she was aware of the problem and that other people were also complaining about it. But then she passed the buck and said we should go to the other mayor's office building behind the old hospital and complain there.
Like everyone else, we had a million things to do yesterday during our lunch break, not including going to the other mayor's office to complain about a problem that officials apparently already know about but aren't doing anything to resolve. We decided it would be a waste of time to go talk to another "public servant."
But as we left the Mayor's Office and started to tread through the garbage in the Central Park again, it became too much to bear. We stopped and began to take photos of the scene. We talked to a nearby vendor to inquire how long the garbage problem had been piling up. He said it had been several days and that the problem was always the same. The mayor's office just doesn't seem to care or can't seem to fix the problem, he said. We agreed with his political analysis, but said that we, as citizens of Granada, have the obligation to not litter and now allow others to throw their garbage on the street. After all, it is to our own benefit to not live in such squalor.
I told the vendor, "When you see someone throwing garbage on the ground in front of you, you have to tell them that is wrong. Be a part of the solution!" He told me that if he tells anyone not to litter, they could beat him up. Plus, he said, he doesn't care if people litter in Granada because he's from out of town.
To see how indifferent people are about the garbage issue is irritating and sad. At that moment, I was reminded once again that the problems of our country are related to lack of education. It is pointless to put garbage cans on the street if we don't first educate people about putting their garbage into the garbage cans. Yes, the situation here is that serious and that basic!
Surveying the sad landscape of garbage and indifference in the park, my friend and I felt trapped; we felt we couldn't walk away without doing something about the problem that no one else seemed concerned about. So we called a friend of ours who has a hotel nearby and told him about the situation. In five minutes, he sent five workers from his hotel to the park with shovels and brooms and garbage bags. Together, we all got to the neglected task of cleaning up the mounds of mess.
Most people who work in the park peddling one thing or another—those very people who spend their days shuffling around in garbage—looked at us with expressions of mild surprise. One of them approached us and asked, "Why are you picking up garbage if that's the municipality's job?" Others added the mess, by throwing garbage on the ground as we cleaned around their feet.
But others, upon hearing us insist that cleanliness is the responsibility of all, generously pitched in to help. So we know that of the dozens of people in the park yesterday, a few of them started to realize the importance of not littering, and that is probably the biggest accomplishment of the afternoon.
Though trash is a recurring problem in Nicaragua, this particular trash heap was caused by striking garbage workers who haven't been paid by the Mayor's Office. This is an issue that has also been recurring in Granada for the past decade. These are city workers who depend on their salaries to feed their families, and many of them have not been paid by the city in more than six weeks, which is disgraceful.
The trash problem may be the most visible in the Central Park, but garbage is everywhere throughout all the streets and arroyos of the historic city—and just in time for high season! Just imagine how pretty our city must look to those who have traveled here from faraway countries to see our colonial jewel but can't manage to take any pictures without trash heaps appearing in background, or tripping over garbage as they try to walk around the city.
How can we continue to market and promote Nicaragua as a sustainable tourism destination when we can't even get our main tourism destinations to function on a basic level? We can't claim to be a "developing country" if we can't maintain minimum hygiene standards. The garbage problem is shameful and pathetic, and all corresponding government offices—the mayor's office, the health ministry and the tourism board—should all be held responsible for the ineffective response to the problem.
We need to rethink our growth as a country and change tack to ensure that our development is truly sustainable.

Being the only fashionista in the suburban village town of Southgate in North London (fact), I personally find it challenging to dress in a moderately-conservative way when leaving my house to commute to central London, without offending my non-fashionable community let alone my last acidic outfit where I had to walk with my head down and avoid eye contact.
This is the closest moderately-styled for the Summer season finale. Both green frilly top and black casual trousers are from Benetton (SS11), I've added a pop of purple colour silk scarf for the hair braid, pony skin brogues and borrowed vintage camera. Thanks to Style Crusader for helping out with the outfit photos.
Autumn styling is NEXT!

r/Cartalk is the #1 Reddit auto repair community, with over 27,000 [not deleted] subscribers and growing. We look forward to helping everyone with their car repairs.
Post disappeared? Read the following guidelines and try again.
Due to a high volume of off topic posts the moderators can't always provide you with individual notification and guidance of moderation actions.
Please be polite. Treat those asking for help with respect, and answer without bias toward them, their situation, or their knowledge (or lack thereof) about the repair issues. Also respect those that take the time to answer questions and remember that many are professional mechanics, who normally get paid very well to diagnose automotive repairs.
This subreddit is only for specific DIY mechanical-type car repairs. "X is broken, how do I replace it?" "Y is making noise, what should be inspected/replaced to resolve it?" We're here to help you fix your car on your own, not to assist in negotiating with mechanics (this is business/life advice, not car advice) or to perform non-repair related modifications (you're better off finding a manufacturer specific forum).
If it's under warranty don't post here: bring it back to the dealership.
Some examples of things that are NOT ALLOWED: links to articles, bodywork repairs, detailing or cleaning questions, aftermarket car stereo questions, car reviews, new & used vehicle recommendations, price comparisons for tires, stereos, exhaust, etc, or parts searches (where do I get a ...?) and especially questions regarding cost of repairs or the legitimacy of a mechanic's quote.
Remember that posting here is not a substitute for using google.
We've started a subreddit for general tech, articles, and recommendation posts over at r/cartech. If you still aren't sure about something you are about to post, please look at the links below for other subreddits that would be better suited for your non-mechanical repair question, or message the moderators for suggestions.
Have as much information as you can about the issue before posting. Attempt to investigate the repair issue on your own. Take pictures, crawl under the car, look under the hood. By making a good attempt to narrow down where and what may be causing the problem you save those trying to help many steps in diagnosing the problem. Be sure to also include the year, make, model and engine size of you car in your title, along with your main issue. For example "2003 Ford Crown Victoria 4.6L exhaust manifold bolts rusted off" would be an acceptable post title. If you do not take the time to include this basic information your post may be removed until it is revised.
Get OBD codes! If you have a Check Engine or Service Engine Soon light on, get the codes read and have them available if possible. You can have codes read at Auto Zone, Pep Boys, O'Reilly's, etc. for free in most states. Write them down. They will have a letter followed by four numbers, for example "P1234".
Report posts and comments that fall outside the guidelines. By actively helping the moderators with this you ensure that the r/Cartalk community continues to be a worthwhile and knowledgeable resource for car repairs.
We've started a subreddit for general tech, articles, and recommendation posts over at http://www.reddit.com/r/cartech.

A new tradition is established
By Wes Fopma, Director of Alumni Relations
Dordt�s first fall Alumni Weekend happened on September 26 and 27. The move from February to September came with the start of the varsity football program. The Alumni Council decided that, in addition to the draw of football, fall was a better season for gathering. And what a beautiful weekend it was. Alumni Weekend in February never had sunny skies and 75 degree temperatures!
Moving Alumni Weekend to the fall also allows for more outdoor activities, and we certainly took advantage of that. Alumni attended the football game, a kids� carnival on the outdoor tennis courts, a tailgate party, and the lacrosse game.
Dale Zevenbergen from the business department led a presentation on �Continuous Improvement� principles for businesses, drawing nearly ninety alumni for breakfast on Friday morning. It was the largest Alumni Business Connections breakfast we�ve had.
The Kid's Carnival is a hit for children of alumni. Sack races, a football toss, and face painting were just a few of the activities.
The weekend ended on Saturday night with nearly 600 people attending the Dueling Pianos concert, which included lots of audience participation. What a show they put on! Rose Van Engen, former Alumni Council member and an alumna from 1977, stole the show with her rendition of �Those Were The Days.� Planning for next year�s Alumni Weekend is already underway.
The Alumni Council gathered over the weekend for a spirited meeting. Issues discussed included holding alumni events in various regions of North America over the course of the next year, a long-range planning discussion on things the Alumni Council would like to tackle in the next five years, and the reintroduction of Alumni Chapters to the Alumni Association. This year we will be starting Alumni Chapters in West Michigan and in Escondido, California. Each chapter will be led by a committee of four or five alumni to plan events for others in their area.

Chelsea Clinton Quits NBC Gig
Chelsea Clinton, who is pregnant with her first child, is quitting her job at NBC. Clinton explained on Facebook: "To continue focusing on my work at the Clinton Foundation and as [husband] Marc and I look forward to welcoming our first child, I have decided to leave my position as a NBC Special Correspondent."
The daughter of former President Bill Clinton and 2016 presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, Chelsea joined NBC in 2011. Her work was featured in the "Making a Difference" segment that aired occasionally on the network.
Clinton talked about the wonderful people she met while working for the network, including those who focused their lives on helping children through after-school programs and other activities.
She added on Facebook: "It's been a privilege to be part of the NBC Family. I admire the work and dedication that their reporters, producers, crews, editors and studio teams deliver every day, particularly as I personally experienced through the stewardship of Brian Williams at Nightly News and Rock Center."
She made headlines earlier this year after it was revealed her salary was upwards of $600,000.
According to the New York Daily News, Alex Wallace, a senior vice president of NBC News, said of Clinton: "Chelsea's storytelling inspired people across the country and showcased the real power we have as individuals to make a difference in our communities. While she will be missed, we look forward to working with her in the future."

AAP says 'Herculean' cleaning efforts not needed to rid home of head lice
Three years ago, a phone conversation with my best friend began the way many horrible talks do.
"I have terrible news," she told me.
Now in our 40s, my best friend and I have shared many things in our relationship. We have known each other since we were 6, and now our daughters are good friends, too. I was fully prepared for her to tell me that someone close to us had died.
Instead, she told me something that was nearly as devastating to me at the moment: Her daughter had lice, and she thought my daughter might, too, since the two had spent the night at her house the day before.
My friend confessed that after discovering the lice late the previous night, she'd been up all night scrubbing, washing, drying things on high heat and sealing off pillows and stuffed animals in garbage bags.
My only reply: "Why in the world didn't you call me sooner?" It was 10 a.m. at this point, and I had lost precious hours in the battle.
The necessities
I immediately checked my kids. Two of three had head lice. That's when I morphed into Psycho Lice Mom. The fear of shaving my 2-week-old's precious brown curls drove me to obsess about evicting the bugs loitering on my children's heads (don't worry — she's the one who didn't have lice).
A frantic trip to the drug store netted $100 in products — shampoo, special nit combs, lice-killing sprays and even a $25 electric bug-zapping comb. I made everyone in the house use the shampoo – against the advice of the product directions – multiple times in a two-week period just to be sure. I checked everyone's hair several times a day — OK, hourly – and "zapped" when necessary.
But I couldn't stop there. I threw away throw pillows and sheets, spent hundreds of dollars to dry-clean bedding (professionally laundering king-size quilts and comforters is expensive) and put toys and stuffed animals in bags (some of which remain unopened in my garage to this day).
And here's the clincher: Ultimately, after spraying lice-killing spray on our sofa – where one of my daughter's was sitting when I made the gruesome discovery – I couldn't stand the thought of the bugs or the chemicals. So, I got rid of the sofa, too.
Advice from the experts
However, according to new advice from the American Academy of Pediatrics, my cleaning frenzy to rid our home of head lice, now known as the "2007 lice incident," was completely unnecessary. I'm sharing the AAP's report and my story in hopes of sparing you the pain and suffering that I went through in the panic of ignorance.
Of course, we survived the ordeal, and thanks to the AAP, I'll know better next time… though recounting the incident still makes my skin crawl.

All code in this article is copyright Patrick McKenzie 2009 and released under the MIT license. Basically, you can feel free to use it for whatever, but don't sue me.
The other day on Hacker News, commenting on a recent Yehuda Katz explanation of the nuts and bolts of metaprogramming, I mentioned that I though discussions of programming theory are improved by practical examples of how the techniques solve problems for customers. After all, toy problems are great, but foos and bars don't get me home from the day job quicker or convince my customers to pay me money.
My claim: Metaprogramming allows you to cut down on boilerplate code, making your programs shorter, easier to write, easier to read, and easier to test. Also, it reduces the impact of changes.
I'm going to demonstrate this using actual code from my PrintJob class, which encapsulates a single request to print out a set of bingo cards in Bingo Card Creator. PrintJobs can have any number of properties associated with them, and every time I implement a new feature the list tends to grow. For example, when I added in the ability to print in color, that required adding five properties. This pattern is widely applicable among many times of one-to-many relationships where you never really look at the many outside of the context of their relationship to the one — user preferences would be an obvious example.
There are a few ways you can do this in Rails. The most obvious is put each property as a separate column in your table. This means that
- you'd do a database migration (downtime! breakage! unnecessary work!) every week you add a new property.
If you're getting into the associations swing of thing, you might consider creating a has_many relationship between PrintJob and PrintJobProperties, with each PrintJobProperty having a property_name and a property_value. Swell. Now you need to:
- Do twenty joins every time you inspect a single PrintJob.
- Add a bunch of unique constraints (in your DB or via Rails validations — I hope you have earned the favor of the concurrent modification gods) to prevent someone from assigning two properties of the same name to the same print job.
- Have very intensely ugly syntax for accessing the actual properties. (Lets see, print_job.options.find_or_create_by_name("foo").value = "bar" ought to do it.)
Instead of either of these methods, I save the properties to an options hash, and then serialize that to JSON to save to and load from the database column. Rails takes care of most of the details for me.
Enter The Metaprogramming Magic
However, this means I would have to write code like print_job[:options][:background_color], which is excessively verbose, and every time I referred to it I would need to possibly provide a default value in the event it was nil. Too much work!
Instead, we'll use this Ruby code:
#goes in /lib/current_method.rb #Returns the method name ruby is currently executing. #I use this just to make my code more readable to me. module CurrentMethodName def this_method caller[0][/`([^']*)'/, 1] end end #goes in /app/models/print_job.rb class PrintJob 5, :columns => 5, :column_headers => "BINGO", :free_space => "Free Space!", :cards_per_page => 1, :card_count => 1, :page_size => "LETTER", :title => nil, :title_size => 36, :font => "Times-Roman", :font_size => 24, :good_randomize => true, :watermark => false, :footer_text => "Omitted for length", :call_list => true, :background_color => COLOR_WHITE, :second_background_color => COLOR_GREY, :border_color => COLOR_BLACK, :text_color => COLOR_BLACK, :color_pattern => "plain" } #set up accessors for options DEFAULT_OPTIONS.keys.each do |key| define_method key do unless options.nil? options[this_method.to_sym] else nil end end define_method "#{key}=".to_sym do |value| unless options.nil? options[this_method.to_s.sub("=","").to_sym] = value else options = {} options[this_method.to_s.sub("=","").to_sym] = value end end end #Other stuff omitted. Sorry, I'm not OSSing my whole business today. end
What This Code Does
OK, what does this do? Well, first I define a bunch of default options, which are later used (code not shown) to initialize PrintJobs right before they're fed into the actual printing code. Each default option is used to create a getter/setter pair for PrintJob, so that instead of typing print_job[:options][:background_color] I can just type print_job.background_color. You'll notice that it also note that both setters and getters pre-initialize the options array if I haven't done it already. This saves me from accidentally forgetting to initialize it and then winding up calling nil[:some_option].
Why This Code Is Useful
Clearly this saves keystrokes for using getters/setters, but how does it actually save work? Well, because each of the properties are now methods on the ActiveRecord object (the PrintJob), all of the Rails magic which you think works on columns actually works on these options, too. This includes:
- validations
- form helpers
- various pretty printing things
Since card_count is just another property on the PrintJob ActiveRecord object, Rails can validate it trivially. Try doing that within a hash — it isn't fun. I sanity check that card_count (the number of cards printed for this print job) is an integer between 1 and 1,000, and additionally check that, for users who aren't registered, it is between 1 and 15. (I've omitted the message which tells folks trying to print more to upgrade.)
validates_numericality_of :card_count, :greater_than => 0, :less_than => 1000 validates_numericality_of :card_count, :greater_than => 0, :less_than => 16, :unless => Proc.new {|print_job| print_job.user && print_job.user.is_registered?}
Here's an example of a portion of the form helper from the screen where most of these options are set:
#Just a part of the form. 4, :title => "Total number of cards to print."%>
Ordinarily in the above code you'd expect card_count to correspond to a column in the database, and then the column would cause there to be card_count and card_count= methods on PrintJob, and this would be used to initialize the above text field. Well, Rails doesn't really care how those methods came to be — they could be placed there by ActiveRecord magic, or attr_accessor, or defining by hand, or creative use of metaprogramming, as above. It takes about 7 lines to define a getter/setter pair in most languages. I have twenty properties listed up there. Instant savings: 140 lines of code.
Similarly, I'm saved from having to write a bunch of repetitive non-sense in the controller, too.
def some_controller_method @print_job = PrintJob.new @print_job.sensible_defaults! #initializes defaults for options not already set #update all parameters relating to the print job params[:print_job].each do |key, value| if @print_job.options.include? key.to_sym @print_job[:options][key.to_sym] = value end end end
This walks over the param map for things being set to the PrintJob and, if they're an option, sets them automatically. This saves about twenty lines of manual assignment. (Nota bene: PrintJob.new(param) will not work because the virtual columns are not real columns. In general, I hate mass assignment in Rails anyhow — sooner or later it will bite my hindquarters for security if I use it, so I assign only those columns which I know to be safe. Note that nothing in the options hash is sensitive — after all, they're just user options.)
This controller is extraordinarily robust against change. When I added five extra options to the print jobs to accommodate my new features (font, color, and pattern selection), I didn't change one single line of the associated controllers.
But wait, there's more! You see, 200 lines of negacode (code that you don't have to write) means 200 lines of code that you don't have to read, test, maintain, or debug. I didn't have to change the controller at all. I didn't have to check to see if the new properties were automatically initialized to their starting values, since the code which performed the initialization was already known to work. I didn't have to debug typos made in the accessors. It all just worked.
This is the power of metaprogramming. The less boilerplate code you have to write, understand, read, test, debug, and maintain, the more time you can spend creating new features for your customers, doing marketing, or doing other things of value for your business. The last three features I added caused five new properties to be added to my PrintJob model. I just diffed the pre- and post-commit code in SVN. Three features required required:
- No change to the schema.
- No change to the controller.
- 35 lines to implement three features in the model. (Counting the white space.)
This is a much, much more effective use of my time than writing several hundred lines worth of boilerplate model code, then repeating much of it in XML configurations, just so that I can actually have access to the data needed to begin implementing the features. (How did you guess I program in Java?)
A Note To DBAs In The Audience
Yeah, I hear you — stuffing preferences in JSON is all well and good, but doesn't this ruin many of the benefits of using SQL? For instance, isn't it true that I can no longer query for PrintJobs which are colored red in any convenient manner? That is absolutely true. However, it isn't required by my use cases, at all.
PrintJobs are only ever accessed per user and per id, and since both of those have their own columns, having all the various options be stored in an opaque blob doesn't really hurt me. I regret not being able to do "select sum(card_count) from print_jobs;" some times, but since I don't have to calculate "total number of cards printed since I opened" all that frequently, it is perfectly adequate to just load the entire freaking table into memory and then calculate it in Ruby. (It takes about 5 seconds to count: 217,264 cards printed to date. Thanks users!)
Note Regarding Security
Programmatically instantiating methods is extraordinarily dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. Note that I create the methods based on keys used in a constant hash specified in my code. You could theoretically do this from a hash created anywhere — for example, Ruby will happily let you create methods at runtime so you might decide, eh, PrintJob needs a method for everything in the params hash. DO NOT DO THIS. That would let anyone with access to your params (which is, well, anyone — just append ?foo=bar to the end of a URL and see what happens) create arbitrarily named methods on your model objects. That is just asking to be abused — setting is_admin? to 1 or adding can_launch_nuclear_weapons to role, for example.

As the diets of countries are growing more and more similar, the global menu is getting smaller.
Research published in the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences" looked at fifty years of data from the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization.
They found that diets across the world grew about 36% more similar.
People in a growing number of countries are consuming wheat, corn, meat, dairy and soybeans. That means they're eating fewer unique, regional crops. the researchers call this dangerous.
They say it's not good for health to rely on such a short list of major food crops, because it makes the global food supply dependent on such a short list of major food crops - setting us up to be much more vulnerable to things like new diseases or climate change that could wipe out a big part of the global food supply.
The researchers say more people are also eating more calories and fat which puts much more emphasis on needing to balanced nutrition.

Eben Harrell published an op-ed on TIME.com about Kim Jong Il's nuclear proliferation legacy.
Kim Jong Ils death leaves the Korean peninsula and the rest of East Asia in a period of great uncertainty. But one of Kim Jong Ils most dangerous legacies has security implications well beyond the region: he leaves behind a thriving nuclear weapons export business that must now be stopped.

Present: M. Bridge (UOTC), D. Jackman, (Associate Dean, CoE), D. Johnson (LESO), J. Saban (LESO), E. Seaver (COMD), C. Sorensen (Dean), N. Stahl (LTCY), G. Waas (Psychology) R. Wheeler, (Vice Provost), S. Wickman (CAHE),
Not Present: R. Butler, (ETRA)
A motion was made by D. Johnson and seconded by G. Waas to approve the February 3, 2003 minutes. Motion passed by consensus.
G. Seaver reported that the Unit Assessment Committee is making progress on developing the Unit Assessment Plan to be aligned with the NIU Conceptual Framework.
S. Whickman shared the Unit Portfolio Committee Activity Report summarizing the committee's work. Discussion followed on the different assessment needs between initial and advanced programs based on the ISBE and national professional association standards.
The edited NIU Conceptual Framework was distributed. Editorial changes are to be brought to the next CAPC meeting.
J. Saban will alert his department of the need for a CAPC representative for the Principal Program.
The CITC/CAPC liaison is an informal position which does not require a change to the CAPC Bylaws.
Discussion was held on the need for CAPC to develop a definition for the contemporary experience required of faculty in certification programs. Each advanced program may have a unique perspective of a contemporary experience based on the certificate for which their candidates are being prepared. CAPC members are to bring examples of what their faculty are currently doing to the April 7 meeting.
Filing applications through the electronic entitlement process by the Office of R&R is anticipated to begin Fall, 2003.
Before the next accreditation review, programs need to define and develop a systematic way to collect and use data on the dispositions of their candidates.
Developing exit surveys to collect certification elements common across all advanced programs for use by the unit was tabled until the September, 2003, meeting.
R. Wheeler brought forward three questions from Susan Mini, Rules and Governance Committee, regarding the CAPC request to be added to the "Committees of the University".
R. Wheeler and C. Sorensen reported that the Chicago Public Schools approached NIU for the opportunity to recruit initial and advanced candidates. The CPS will be attending the April 14, 2003, Teacher Placement Day. Advanced programs are encouraged to announce this information to their candidates.
C. Sorensen reported that SB 1074 has been filed by the teacher's union which will replace the ISBE Certification Board. She also discussed a proposed new certification test, ABCTE.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:00 AM.

10 Best (and 5 Worst) Movie-Inspired TV Shows
''Fargo'' arrives; here are past examples of an adaptation superseding its source (yay, ''Buffy''!) -- or making fans cringe (ever watch the small-screen ''Ferris Bueller''?)
Slide 1 of 15
BEST: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003)
Inspired by: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)
What Worked: No one could have predicted the phenomenon that would result when a young Sarah Michelle Gellar stepped into the shoes of Buffy Summers — except maybe creator Joss Whedon. But there turned out to be a lot more to the ditzy cheerleader with a destiny (originally played by Kristy Swanson). Add in a band of loyal Scoobies, a couple of mysterious (and hot!) vampires, and you have a series that will live on well past the apocalypse.
