Longing for the END
So I've been defining feminism for our movement, recently focusing on how feminists are moving toward their goal. Let's take a look at part two of hooks' definition by talking about what "end" really means. A coworker recently told me, "I'm just tired of it. I want sexual violence to be over." Similar to this feeling of utter exasperation at the staying power of sexual violence, I am totally beyond over homophobic and transphobic behaviors, policies, and practices that perpetuate sexual violence. In honor of the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHO), I'm blogging about what it would be like to live in a world without these forms of oppression.
In this beautiful world, all people will have the opportunity to make informed, active decisions toward a healthy sexuality. We would do away with the gender norms that subscribe to traditional expressions of gender which limit people of all genders and sexual orientations. In my new world, all people can openly celebrate their love and their personal expression. Youth will walk down hallways in their schools hearing positive, affirming words rather than gendered bullying. For goodness sake, it will be safe to pee wherever you feel so moved. It would be okay to be LGBTQ.
Tolerating homophobia and transphobia in any space makes that place unsafe. Homophobic teasing may even predict sexually violent behavior. On this International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, I'm trying to see my world through a safer lens. Take action today by blogging about this issue and consider putting your creativity and vision to the test by submitting a video to the Safer Lens Challenge.
I am longing for the end of sexual violence and all forms of oppression. Until we get there, I'm hoping for the day that I wake up without the overwhelming weight of gendered violence on my chest. What are you longing for?

Julie Chalk
Senior Database Marketing Analyst
Email-marketing response rate increases 400%
SAS® for Customer Experience Analytics guides the right message at the right time
When customers visit your website, their behavior says a lot about their interests, priorities and goals. But in database marketing, capturing customer information from digital channels and turning it into smarter business decisions can be a real headache.
Even at SAS. That is, it used to be – just not since Julie Chalk and Craig Emerick got their hands on SAS® for Customer Experience Analytics.
"People and businesses are inundated with marketing and messages today," explains Chalk, a Senior Database Marketing Analyst in SAS Americas Marketing. "To be heard, you have to send the right message at the right time."
And to know how to make that happen, you need to use as much data as possible, says Emerick, a Senior IT Project Manager in SAS Technical Infrastructure Management.
"We wanted a stronger understanding of how customers interact with our Web properties," he says. "Not just channel-level data such as the number of page views for a given page, but individual customer-level data that can tell you if a specific person viewed a particular Web page."
We're now sending our customers more relevant and timely communications, increasing our conversion rate and minimizing opt-outs.
Julie Chalk
More than a snapshot
Before SAS Customer Experience Analytics, Chalk and Emerick pulled behavioral data from an internal system. But that included only a fraction of the website visitor activity. Although it showed them data from registration forms – like name, job title, email address and what the visitor registered for – it still did not show them what the full customer interaction looked like.
Meanwhile, the tools they used for Web analytics couldn't provide detail on an individual level. Now that they use SAS Customer Experience Analytics, they can see page-view and session-level details for a given visitor. And they can even find out if a visitor accessed a particular PDF or how long a visitor spent watching a video.
SAS Customer Experience Analytics records and provides the valuable data Chalk and Emerick were struggling to find. Before they started using it, "a visitor on our website could register, then browse 25 pages and then download a paper, but without SAS Customer Experience Analytics, we wouldn't know the details around the 25 pages," Emerick explains. "We only knew part of the picture."
Now, the six SAS Marketing Automation users can "include website browsing history in their campaign selection criteria," Chalk says.
Dramatic increase in response rates
The targeted marketing approach has paid off, with dramatic increases in average response rates. Prior to using SAS, says Chalk, email campaigns averaged a 1-2 percent response rate. Now the response is around 8 percent. The marketing teams are "thrilled," Chalk says.
Chalk says that one of the hallmark successes has been using the SAS Customer Experience Analytics data to tailor the "Visual Analytics Experience" campaign.
"For the SAS Visual Analytics product, first there's an overview, then a demos page, then a registration form, and then full access to all resources," Chalk says. "The problem was that most people only made it to the demo page. And only about 19 percent of the visitors in total were registering for full access."
Chalk and the Visual Analytics Experience team saw the results as an opportunity to remarket the campaign. "We used the data from SAS Customer Experience Analytics to send an outbound campaign message to that 81 percent of people who hadn't registered to sell them on full access," Chalk says. "Of the 81 percent who abandoned the form, we got an additional 6.6 percent of them to register, which is a great lift on campaign performance."
Customers stay engaged
The analysis also alerted them to a potential problem with the navigation layout of the SAS Visual Analytics pages.
"We noticed that about 25 percent of the customers were being pushed into a navigation loop, where they were visiting the same three pages over and over again," Chalk says. "By looking at the data on a contact level, we could see the issue and adjust the page layout. After the changes, only 12 percent were caught in the loop."
Their ability to spot and react quickly to the problem alleviated much user frustration and helped keep their audience engaged.
Shared benefits
Chalk notes that Database Marketing wasn't the only team gaining from the results.
"We're saving our customers time by reducing email, minimizing opt-outs, and generally just making our interactions with them more streamlined," she says. "Now, all of our communications are much more relevant and personalized, so they're not receiving a message for something they're not interested in."
The team is also working on a project to pass along the customer experience data compiled by SAS Americas Marketing to other departments, such as inside sales and tech support. Plans call for sharing a condensed version of the information to sales, so they're able to pinpoint individual customers and share helpful insights, like which product a user would be most inclined to purchase.
Elsewhere, other business units around the world now use the SAS Customer Experience Analytics data in their SAS Marketing Automation campaign selections. And SAS has integrated the data with internal data sources and loaded it into SAS Visual Analytics for website analysis that was impossible before.
Capture customer information from digital channels, gain a more complete view of how customers interact with Web properties, rise above the noise of competitors, improve results of marketing activities.

AFTER months of stalking musicians on the London Underground, a Swindon musician has hit all the right notes to form a unique orchestra.
Shaun Buswell, of Stratton, started a musical challenge to create an orchestra made up of musicians he met while travelling on the Tube last year.
The terms of the challenge stipulated that the 36-year-old had to form a band to perform at one of 12 top London venues by December 12.
However, the date was pushed back to Saturday night, when around 70 people played at the Shepherd's Bush Empire, to raise money for the Daytrippers charity, which works with ill children.
Shaun is relieved that the gruelling project, which saw him approaching complete strangers who happened to be carrying musical instruments on the Tube, is over and he can go back to reality.
He said: "I think it went pretty well. Everybody is surprised that I am not elated, but I don't think what we have achieved has quite sunk in yet. There were lots of people from Swindon who came up to support us which was great to see.
"I don't think I realised at the beginning just how big a project I had set myself. I had to give up my life just to be able to get it all together and I am so thankful I have a supportive girlfriend and family who have helped me through it.
"I had a lot of mixed reaction, some people told me to go away, others said they didn't have the time.
"In the end we had a great group of people though, all of which had not played together until Saturday night and it was a great evening."
Shaun imposed a number of rules when recruiting the musicians, including not knowing them personally.
They also had to be carrying their instrument when he met them and the initial meeting must have taken place on the Tube network.
Some of the musicians were well established, with one trumpet player having recorded with Ray Charles.
He also recruited twins who he approached independently, two months apart in the same location, Tower Hill Tube station.
Leila Talmadge, of Daytrippers, said: "When Daytrippers first heard about Shaun we realised he had set himself a huge musical challenge, against the odds considering he cannot read or write music.
"Not only did he have to meet each of his future musicians personally in the limited confines of the London Underground, but he had to engage them enough to get them to contribute in his challenge and play his music whilst never breaking one of his many set rules.
"Daytrippers were inspired by this huge undertaking as the disabled children and their families that we work with also face many of their own challenges daily.
"We believe the 121212 Underground Challenge will make a huge impact with the story and bringing a community together, whilst having fun working hard towards making it happen."
The Underground Orchestra event also premiered a documentary of Shaun's journey carrying out the Underground Orchestra Challenge.

Quote:The fact that individual practices may vary does not make it any less so. On what basis do you make that statement? What "similar skills to IMA" would these be? How do you differentiate "internal" vs "external"? Or are you simply conveniently lumping them all together and suggesting you practice some mish mash "middle way"?
Quote:Zach_Zinn: I think the equation of Sanchin with Waija is a little misleading, and is more the result of how most people do Sanchin (as some sort of muscular exertion excercise).

Quote:The difference is in the intent. Sanchin is wai jia liao fa derived from Southern Shaolin traditions. It's primary focus is on developing the muscles, bones and tendons - aka yijing.That individuals can choose to do Sanchin (or any other form of exercise) using xin, yi, and (oooh.. that BAD word!) qi does not make it an "internal" form. It's a subtle distinction between an "internal" form (is there even such a thing!!??), and doing a form "internally". You see my point? Professing to do IMA "because I do sanchin" is misleading...

Jupiter 42, Trident 55
BRIDGWATER Jupiter were beaten 55-42 by league leaders Trident on at Chilton trinity on Sunday. Jupiter started the game strongly, with every player focusing on the team's tactics and controlling the game - enabling them to lead 13-12 at the end of the first quarter.
Good communication and linking play from defence to attack by Baylea Charles (C) enabled Paige Davey (GS) to capitalise on Jupiter's shooting opportunities.
But unfortunately, Trident started to edge their way ahead, scoring six more goals than Jupiter in the second quarter.
A few team changes for Jupiter flustered Trident and they managed to get back to within two goals of them. However, despite continued effort and inspirational defending from Lisa Durant (GK), Trident soon found their form again and took the lead further ahead.
Jupiter knew this was going to be their toughest game of the season but every player gave their all.
Despite a strong final quarter where Trident only scored twice more than Jupiter, it just wasn't enough and Trident took the win.
Player of the match was Lisa Durant.
Saturn 41, Sharks 40
SATURN battled to a narrow-w one-point victory over Sharks on Saturday. The first quarter saw great team work and fantastic linked play from the Saturn players.
This, along with Michelle Stone's (WD) effective calling and vital tips, allowed Saturn to gain a strong lead - going into the second quarter five goals ahead.
Saturn knew it was important to extend their lead and this saw the intensity increase.
Julie McClean (GK) worked tirelessly, putting pressure on Sharks' attack, forcing valuable errors.
Dynamic movement from the team and strong, accurate passing from wing attack, Hazel Hucker, allowed Saturn to capitalise on these opportunities.
In the final quarter, although sparks of great play were still seen, Sharks were crawling back.
The centre block proved effective, with player of the match, Sammy Kemmish (GA), and Katy Cheese (GS) turning the ball over on a number of occasions, but these opportunities to score were not always taken . This left a nail biting finish, as Saturn managed to pull off a 41-40 win.
Neptune 34, Tone 30
NEPTUNE beat rivals Tone of Taunton by just four points to earn an important win. Neptune started tentatively but soon found their feet and demonstrated some fine netball.
Superb feeds from WA Dawn Fothergill into the attacking circle allowed Katy Cheese to put up some well needed shots.
The slow start meant Neptune trailed 16-18 at half time, but entering the second half, Neptune fought hard with player of the match Emma Downes dominating Tone's attacking circle.
Great turn-overs and cracking interceptions from Downes and Bex Dunn saw Neptune capitalise and take the lead. Neptune displayed a great team performance and their efforts paid off, bringing home another great win, 34-30.
Venus 33, Dolphins 42
DESPITE going down 42-33, Venus played some of their best netball of the season against Dolphins. Excellent communication between Coleen Bartlett (GK), Morgan Middleton (GD) and Hollie Cornish (WD) saw Venus pull ahead by nine goals at the end of the first quarter.
A change in the Dolphins team at quarter time altered the dynamics, allowing Dolphins to begin to fight back against Venus' lead.
The level of play remained strong throughout the game, but Dolphins were able to claw back a win, displaying some impressive shooting.
Despite this, Venus thoroughly enjoyed their game and should be proud of displaying the determination to keep fighting to the end. Player of the match - Jess Webb
Mars 29, Monmouth 64
MARS slipped to a heavy 64-29 defeat against Monmouth at the weekend. After a slow start in the first quarter, trailing 4-16, Mars improved their play - with Morganne Dunn (GA) and Olivia Shorthouse (WA) working well around the circle.
Chloe Trout (WD) and Saskia Middleton (GD) worked tirelessly to get some much needed interceptions.
At the end of the first half Monmouth lead 32-12, but Mars fought hard to get the ball in their attacking end, with Lily Rowland (C) bringing the ball down the court and feeding the ball to Sophie Cornish (GS) - who put up some great shots.
With Monmouth leading 47-21 going into the final quarter, Mars battled to keep possession, but to little avail.

A PUBLIC meeting to gauge opinion on the idea of a heritage centre for Darwen ended with people left disappointed.
The town council wants to create the dedicated heritage centre which would be used to attract visitors to the town, and promote Darwen for shopping and leisure.
They had been looking to buy the former HSBC bank in The Circus, but now may have to consider alternative venues after the building was sold off, subject to contract.
The council plans to borrow money to purchase a heritage building, but has promised not to increase the council tax precept to pay for the loan.
While Darwen Town Council would own the building, councillors hope a trust board can be recruited from the town's people to manage and direct the new centre.
But the plans have not been without controversy, as some residents object to the idea of housing the centre in a dedicated building.
Several people left Thursday night's meeting at Darwen Aldridge Community Academy feeling unhappy, claiming they had not been properly consulted.
Tony Foster, who attended the meeting, said: "I assumed the meeting had been called in order to obtain people's views on the centre, but it would seem the organisers only wanted answers to their questions, and therefore there was no two-way dialogue."
And Lynn Schofield said: "It was disappointed about how it was run. We were expecting a public consultation.
"If that was public consultation, I can walk on the ceiling. It was not a proper consultation.
"They wouldn't let people ask questions, and my husband and I stood up and left."
But Darwen town councillor Brian Taylor, who has been leading the project, defended the consultation.
He said: "They sat down in groups for half an hour where they could ask any questions at all.
"Some people wanted to ask questions during the meeting but we didn't want a free-for-all so asked for questions instead at the end, and I did stay at the end.
"I also said I would respond to emails and that seemed to suffice.
"They had ample opportunity to ask questions both in the groups and to me at the end directly.
"I'm flabbergasted by the vehement opposition. you would think I'm trying to take something away from them. I'm trying to give them something.
"I want to provide a bespoke building for a heritage centre, not a dusty corner of the library."

Lights, Camera, Action! All the news from #CreativeWeekUK Day 3
July 12, 2012
The question on everyone's lips was whether smaller production budgets make for more original content. Day 3 of #CreativeWeekUK saw us discuss how smaller budgets have become a natural by-product of the contracting broadcast and cinematography markets, and the implications that has had on creativity and quality standards.
We were joined by three great panelists for our live debate at the start of the day. Dan Jones (Maverick TV), Marc Goodchild (ex BBC) and Justin Weyers (Made Visual Studios) chatted about everything from independent productions and YouTube testing, right through to how the skills of hungry graduates can be best used in industry and what the future of video production has in store.
As always, the #CreativeWeekUK Twitter community played a huge part in the debate, with contributions including whether new technologies and production tools raise standards or just client expectations. And they also had their say in our daily poll with 90% of people agreeing that smaller budgets do make for more original content. What can we say…get creating!
We also welcomed Jason Levine over from the US who spent some time showing off the latest video tools Adobe has to offer including the new, streamlined Premiere Pro interface.
If you want to catch up on any of this week's shows, then be sure to visit our website. Plus there's still time to get involved in the final couple of days of #CreativeWeekUK by taking part in our competition. We'd love to hear from you!

Pacers notebook
O'Neal wants consistent rotation
By Mark Montieth
TORONTO -- Rick Carlisle has tinkered with his starting lineup and his playing rotation in an attempt to find a winning combination for the Indiana Pacers.
He mentioned the possibility of more changes following Sunday's 92-83 loss to Toronto. Forward/center Jermaine O'Neal, however, would like to see a more consistent approach.
"We're going to have to pick a rotation," O'Neal said. "We have to find it soon. There's no way you can get a rhythm as a team with guys in and out of there. You have to pick somebody and you have to roll with them. If that doesn't work, then you change it."
O'Neal, who finished with 15 points, 11 rebounds and three blocked shots, also was frustrated by the offense late in the game.
The Pacers were still clinging to hope after cutting a 19-point fourth-quarter deficit to eight on Stephen Jackson's 3-pointer with 3:11 left. They had two shots to get closer, but Jackson and Danny Granger each missed 3-pointers.
Toronto's Chris Bosh followed with a layup, securing the outcome.
O'Neal complained to the coaches as he walked to the bench for the timeout that followed Bosh's basket. He got the ball on the first play after the break and drew a foul after rebounding two of his own misses. He hit both foul shots.
"I always want the ball in situations where we need baskets," O'Neal said. "They were playing one-on-one coverage. I fully trust my teammates, but at that particular time, they weren't making shots and if they're not making shots, I want the ball to make things happen."
The gods are angry
Indiana's Al Harrington continued to struggle with his shooting Sunday, hitting 4-of-15 shots.
He hit 5-of-9 shots in Friday's win over Cleveland, but was 5-of-24 in the two previous games.
Although he's no fan of the NBA's new ball, he doesn't hold it responsible.
"The good thing about it is, I'm not off too much," said Harrington, who had a game-high 14 rebounds. "They're right on line; they just won't go in.
"I believe in basketball gods. I must have done something wrong. I'm trying to make it right with them. Hopefully they'll start going in soon."
Carlisle's also confident.
"Looking long term, I'm not worried about Al struggling offensively," he said. "I'm more worried about the energy and decision-making of our team."
Baston still waiting
Maceo Baston, who was activated for Sunday's game but did not play, has made just four appearances this season.
That's not what he had in mind last summer when he signed a free agent contract with the Pacers, but he doesn't regret leaving the powerful Maccabi team in Israel.
"It's still early in the season," he said. "Maybe this will be a learning experience and next year will be better."
Carlisle and Pacers president Larry Bird both express confidence in Baston's ability.
"I'm not disappointed in him at all," Bird said. "I think he belongs in this league. He adds something we need out there and his time will come."

MSI Extends its Gaming Motherboards to B85I and B85Mby Ian Cutress on 4/2/2014 6:44 AM EST

etamin - Wednesday, April 02, 2014 - linkI've never seen chipset RAID being referred to as "hardware RAID." Isn't it quite different?
It looks like a solid mITX board, I've heard many good things about MSI's mobos this gen. Reply
dakishimesan - Wednesday, April 02, 2014 - linkIf the disks in a software raid array were wiped, the raid array would disappear – unless the OS and related RAID software were on a different disk. Both Intel motherboard controllers, if this were wiped the raid array would still persist, with its settings stored in bios = hardware raid. Reply
dakishimesan - Wednesday, April 02, 2014 - link* but with Intel motherboard controllers, if the disks were wiped… Reply
etamin - Wednesday, April 02, 2014 - linkThat's true, but I've often heard of chipset RAID referred to as firmware RAID or fake-RAID. That was the distinction I was wondering about vs hardware RAID. Reply
cpoole - Thursday, April 10, 2014 - linkThe difference lies in where the "striping" is calculated. In a Raid array data is not stored contiguously, it's spread out over both disks to minimize access and write times. In software raid the CPU and OS does everything, it remembers the two disks are raided, and handles all calculations (based on code in the OS kernel). A firmware/fake-RAID array is commonly seen in laptops; this is where the motherboard has a small microprocessor that will remember the fact that the two disks are RAIDed and will assist the CPU and OS in figuring out the calculations for how to stripe the data. Finally hardware raid has a full computational unit that will perform all addressing, striping, and other calculations needed for a RAID array and the OS and CPU are free to treat it like a single contiguous drive. Reply
Marlowe - Wednesday, April 09, 2014 - linkI wish it had WiFi like the Z87I Gaming AC. Then it would go well with an i3-4130 and a GTX 770 for a compact gaming pc. Not so sure about the performance of USB wireless dongles. Reply

Meow Wolf seemed like the great last hope for Santa Fe to have an all-ages arts and music space (no offense, Warehouse 21, I guess I'm just old and jaded now), but things have changed. According to Meow Wolf member and leaseholder Quinn Tincher, shortly before 10 pm on Oct. 7, following a show, the Santa Fe Police Department was dispatched to the warehouse space on the corner of Hopewell and Second streets due to a noise complaint.
Purportedly, this wasn't the first time cops had shown up for this reason. Tincher says he was informed that if the police were asked to return, he would be arrested. According to SFPD public information officer Sgt. Jason Wagner, a police unit was dispatched shortly before 10 pm that evening due to a noise complaint in the general vicinity; however, no official report was filed that night or at any other time against Meow Wolf since January 2009, according to public records requested by SFR. As for the arrest warning, Wagner says he's never seen anyone arrested for a noise complaint, although it's conceivable it could happen in conjunction with other criminal behavior.
At any rate, the warning led the collective to scale back the number of shows it puts on. For some, this is an opportunity to focus more on its visual offerings. For others (namely me and anyone who gets excited about hearing original music), this is a huge blow to the music scene.
Meow Wolf runs its operation on a shoestring budget yet still brought some of the best bands I've seen or heard all year. On the downside, the collective booked any band that asked for a place to play, and lacks organization and promotion. I hear (or should hear) about everything that's going on musically in Santa Fe, yet rarely receive notice from Meow Wolf for upcoming musical performances or art exhibits. As a result of the overbooking and underpromoting, some of its shows were sparsely attended.
"We'd gotten to the point where we were booking three or more shows a week, and not being as organized as we'd like to be didn't make for a great booking space," Tincher tells SFR.
Its organizers wish for Meow Wolf to be a free-flowing space open to anyone. But organization is key to pulling off a successful art collective, and its members could stand to be a little less anarchistic when executing events.
Meow Wolf will continue hosting music shows, but fewer of them. "We're looking more at doing maybe a show or two a month, and always on a weekend," member Matt King says.
Corazón stepped up to host some of the bands that were previously booked at Meow Wolf and would have otherwise been left high and dry. Though this is good news, it doesn't compensate for the loss of an all-ages venue. Shouldn't the community rally around any organization that offers an interesting and exciting scene for arts and music for all demographics?
In the end, we're talking about a group of people who are paying out-of-pocket to bring accessible outsider art to our community. It's almost there, but just like anything worth doing or paying attention to, Meow Wolf needs a little work.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – With the inaugural season of women's lacrosse at Saint Leo University looming on the horizon, Head Coach Lesley Graham has released the official schedule for the Lions' first season of NCAA competition.
Graham has set a schedule that will prove to be both challenging and exciting for Saint Leo's debut season. The Lions will match up with the perfect mix of opponent strength and talent, which will provide them with plenty of challenges in the months ahead. The Lions will face plenty of tough competition, taking on competitors that have been consistently ranked within the IWLCA Top-15, as well as some top contenders within the South Region.
Stacked with 12 home games and just three road contests, Graham is confident the team will find plenty of success in the months ahead, measured not only in the win-loss column but in overall improvement as well.
Saint Leo kicks off their campaign on Saturday, February 11, when they travel to Winter Park, Fla. to take on fifth-year program Rollins College. The Tars were ranked as high as seventh last year on the IWLCA DII National Poll throughout their record-setting 2011 season, and will provide Saint Leo with a great opportunity to size up a worthy competitor before charging into the heart of the season.
Returning home, the Lions open their home slate on Friday, February 17, when they host Lindenwood University. Currently in their second year of candidacy to transfer from the NAIA into NCAA Division II status, the Lady Lions will play primarily against NCAA opponents and will be a member of the Western Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association. Due to their transfer from NAIA to NCAA competition, Lindenwood will drop their NAIA membership this season, but will not be eligible to participate in NCAA postseason play until 2013. Last year, the Lady Lions compiled a record of 14-7 playing in the WLCA against club teams from across the nation, and will prove to be challenging opponents for Saint Leo in their first home game of the season.
After their home opener, Saint Leo takes to the road for their only extended road trip of the season. The Lions will take on first year program Catawba College on Friday, February 24, before squaring up against NCAA DII runner-up, and Conference Carolinas Champion Limestone College. The Saints finished their 2011 campaign ranked No. 2 in the nation, and will provide Saint Leo with top-level opposition in their final road game of the season.
With their toughest test out of the way, the Green and Gold will be able to focus on their final 11 games of the season, all of which will take place on their home field.
The Lions host Notre Dame College of Ohio on Monday, March 5. Another team in the transition phase from NAIA to NCAA DII status, the Falcons are in their final year of candidacy, and will be allowed to compete as a full member of the NCAA in 2012. NDC finished with an 8-5 record in 2011.
After squaring off against the Falcons, Saint Leo welcomes ninth-year program St. Andrews Presbyterian College on Wednesday, March 7, before hosting Belmont Abbey on Friday, March 9. Belmont Abbey advanced to the Conference Carolinas Tournament semifinals before being bounced out by Pfeiffer University, who comes next on the schedule.
The Lions take on Pfeiffer, the 2011 Conference Carolinas Tournament runners-up, on Wednesday, March 14. The Falcons concluded last season with a 12-6 record, but were trounced by Limestone in the CC tournament finals by a score of 15-5.
After taking on three consecutive Conference Carolinas opponents, Saint Leo steps back into NAIA competition, hosting the 2011 NWLL Champions, Indiana Tech. The Lions host the Warriors on Sunday, March 18, and then take on fellow NWLL institution SCAD two days later, matching up with the Bees on Tuesday, March 20.
Saint Leo steps back into NCAA South Region play on Thursday, March 22, when they host Erskine. 2012 marks the fourth season of play for the Flying Fleet, who finished 2011 with a record of 1-15, earning their first victory in program history defeating Converse College.
The Green and Gold takes on Rollins one more time, hosting the Tars on Wednesday, March 28, before taking on Converse on Tuesday, April 3 to open their final month of regular season action. The Valkyries, who will be a fourth-year program this season, completed their 2011 slate with an overall mark of 3-14.
Two more contests close out the final month of regular season competition as Saint Leo hosts Newberry and Florida Southern, both first-year programs. The Lions take on Newberry on Friday, April 13, before finishing up their inaugural season on Wednesday, April 18 against the Moccasins.
With a challenging schedule ahead of them, the inaugural Saint Leo women's lacrosse team is sure to have an exciting and demanding first season. For the latest news, updates, and information on the Saint Leo women's lacrosse team, visit SaintLeoLions.com.

AUSTRALIA'S powerful police integrity watchdog is running a covert inquiry into alleged corruption at all the nation's airports and ports.
The Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity's Taskforce Natio has spent at least six months using phone taps and star chamber powers - in which suspects must answer questions in a confidential hearing or risk jail - to probe corruption on the waterfront and in airports.
It is believed to be investigating dozens of allegedly corrupt customs officials and has sent small teams of investigators across Australia to pursue leads.
The Natio probe highlights just how deep the problems in customs are and the scale of efforts needed to tackle them.
Fairfax Media can also reveal that a crime figure convicted this year of smuggling drugs through Sydney Airport with the help of allegedly corrupt customs officers attended a customs Christmas party last year.
In response to questions about this matter, acting Customs Service chief executive Michael Pezzullo said officers who knew about such activity and did not report it could face termination or other disciplinary measures.
It is believed that Facebook pictures of the Christmas party show customs officials in the company of the crime figure, who was arrested in August for smuggling drugs through the airport and bribing a customs officer. He recently pleaded guilty to these charges.
Pressure continues to mount on the Customs Service amid ongoing revelations of misconduct and corruption in its ranks.
The federal government's handling of the scandal - which includes revelations this week that allegedly corrupt customs officers at Sydney airport have been smuggling drugs and taking bribes - is under fresh attack from the opposition, which says the government has failed to ensure customs had proper anti-corruption oversight.
The opposition's latest attack is centred on a speech in June 2006 by Labor's then shadow attorney-general, Nicola Roxon.
In the speech, she described as a "massive failure" the Coalition's decision not to put customs under the watch of the Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity.
"It is not only a dumb policy but also dumb politically," Ms Roxon said in her 2006 federal parliamentary speech, in which she highlighted "corrupt and criminal activity at Sydney Airport".
The federal opposition has said that after Labor won government in 2007, it failed to give ACLEI the power to investigate corruption in customs for more than three years, a period in which the allegedly corrupt customs airport cell entrenched its activities.
When ACLEI was finally granted the power to investigate customs in January 2011, it immediately launched Operation Marca, which is targeting corruption specifically at Sydney Airport.
Opposition home affairs spokesman Michael Keenan said the failure to ensure customs had appropriate oversight was "further evidence that we have had a Labor government completely asleep at the wheel".
"They refused to take any caution about corruption in customs until it became completely apparent that the corruption was widespread and they moved to cover themselves."
Home Affairs Minister Jason
Clare this week announced that former judge James Wood, former New South Wales police commissioner Ken Moroney and former TNT chief executive David Mortimer would form a panel to combat customs corruption.
Mr Pezzulo has also ordered a review of customs culture and leadership.
Customs' handling of the corruption scandal was criticised on Friday by independent senator Nick Xenophon, who raised the case of customs officer turned whistleblower Allan Kessing.
In 2002 and 2003, Mr Kessing wrote two internal reports warning of crime and corruption at Sydney Airport.
After they were ignored by his bosses, Mr Kessing briefed Labor opposition transport spokesman Anthony Albanese.
In 2005, Mr Kessing was convicted of leaking the reports to the media, a charge he has steadfastly denied.
Mr Xenophon said if Mr Kessing's reports had been acted on, ''we would not have had the problems we are now seeing within customs''.
He said: ''You have to ask the question: how many Australians have overdosed on narcotics as a result of corrupt customs officials allowing these drugs into Australia?''
This week, a six-month Fairfax Media investigation - conducted in association with the ABC's 7.30 Report - has revealed the existence of dozens of suspected corrupt customs officers at Sydney Airport and on the waterfront.

Looking back, I think cabbage got a bum deal in the vegetable world when I was growing up. It only showed up during summer picnics in the form of coleslaw, sometimes in my mother's caldo, a Mexican soup, and during St. Patrick's Day meals.I wanted to change this by creating a dish that's worthy of cabbage as the star, something that can be enjoyed all year long.
This braised cabbage takes all the spices of traditional Corned Beef & Cabbage, but dresses them up with a Creamy Spicy Mustard Sauce; it's a fantastic main dish, suitable for my vegetarian friends, and so completely satisfying. Braising isn't only for meat – you'll be surprised with the silky and savory results you can get from slow braising vegetables.
Braised Cabbage with Creamy Spicy Mustard Sauce
Serves 6
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 head green cabbage, cut into 6 equal wedges
2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
4 whole juniper berries
4 whole allspice berries
2 whole black peppercorns
1 Tbsp mustard seeds, lightly crushed
1 Tbsp fresh dill, minced
2 fresh thyme sprigs
2 bay leaves
2 garlic cloves, lightly crushed
Salt and pepper to taste
Creamy spicy mustard sauce:
3 Tbsp unsalted butter
3 Tbsp shallots, minced
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup braising liquid, strained
2 1/2 Tbsp stone ground mustard
2/3 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Place oil in a skillet on medium-high heat.
Sear cabbage wedges on each side for 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from skillet and place in a large, shallow baking dish. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the broth, juniper berries, all spice berries, peppercorns, mustard seeds, dill, thyme, bay leaves, and garlic to the skillet and bring up to a boil.
Once the mixture has come to a boil, reduce the heat and allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes.
Pour the broth mixture over the seared cabbage, cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes or until the cabbage is fork tender.
For the mustard sauce, using the same skillet, melt the butter on medium-high heat.
Add the shallots to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
Deglaze the pan with the wine and cook down until the pan is almost dry.
Stir in the strained braising liquid and the spicy mustard and allow to simmer for 3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and simmer until the sauce reduces by about half. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour the sauce over the wedges of braised cabbage and serve.

Now that Floyd Mayweather Jr. has joined Showtime, the network has big plans for its newest superstar. Mayweather recently signed a six-fight, 30-month deal with Showtime after spending his entire boxing career with HBO. The TV deal is reportedly worth at least $200 million and could pay Mayweather as much as $300 million.
Mayweather's first fight on Showtime will be against Robert Guerrero on May 4. The network is expected to promote the fight through its CBS affiliate during March Madness and programs like "60 Minutes," much in the same way it has done with Manny Pacquiao.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal's Steve Carp spoke with executive vice president and general manager of Showtime Sports Stephen Espinoza about how the network signed Mayweather. In his story, it is suggested that Mayweather, who frequently boasts about his sports betting exploits, could host a gambling segment on "Inside the NFL." Espinoza told Carp that the NFL would likely frown upon a gambling segment on the show. Given Mayweather's success as a prognosticator, the network could have interest in having him as a part of the show in some capacity.
Mayweather has become known for posting winning tickets on Twitter of his massive sports bets, and he even posted a slip from a losing bet several months ago -- something he has rarely done.
Even if an appearance on "Inside the NFL" isn't in the cards, there are clearly a number of ways Showtime can consider using Mayweather to boost ratings outside of the boxing ring.

Primary Stages Announces PS[NYC] Training Program
Primary Stages has announced its newest training program, PS[NYC], the Primary Stages Theater Semester in New York. PS[NYC] is designed to fully immerse undergraduate students in theater and the world of creating new plays in New York City. This 14-week program is held at Primary Stages, one of Off-Broadway's leading producers of new works and home of the Einhorn School of Performing Arts (ESPA), a multidisciplinary school with departments in playwriting, acting, and directing. PS[NYC] gives students maximum exposure to New York theater and the industry professionals who create it. Students will not only learn what it takes to make great theater, but will sharpen their critical thinking skills as well. Students will be encouraged to identify and nurture their own artistic inner voices, and will leave the program with knowledge, insight, and skills that can only be developed in an environment built on artistic excellence.
PS[NYC] is designed for undergraduate liberal arts students who are interested in studying theater and playwriting. Students may be majoring in anything from creative writing or journalism to theater or English—it is not necessary to have an extensive theater background. All students interested in exploring theater in a meaningful way are encouraged to apply. The program seeks bright, adventurous, and enthusiastic students who love theater. A previous experience in theater or playwriting is not needed, but you must be passionate about spending a semester exploring theater arts and new plays. Students will rarely work with such intensity, examine their art so rigorously, or learn so much.
PS[NYC] is committed to creating and cultivating artists and critical thinkers. To that end, students will study a variety of theater disciplines in classes taught by professional actors, directors, playwrights, and producers. Students have the option of focusing their attention on either Theater Arts Studies or Playwriting. Within the Theater Arts Studies option, students will explore everything from acting and design, to playwriting and directing, to producing and theater history. The Playwriting option is designed for students who have written plays or have had at least one playwriting course at their college and would like to further explore this course of study. The playwriting students will also participate in workshops in media and lyric writing.
"New York is the perfect place to learn theater while living it," says Casey Childs, Founder and Executive Producer, Primary Stages, "Studying in this cultural epicenter allows students to learn from working artists and to experience theater of all kinds at all stages of development while perfecting their own skills. The entire city becomes the campus: students will not only attend readings and workshops of new plays and productions on and off Broadway, but will also visit museums, galleries, and other important New York City cultural institutions—all vibrant experiences that will inform and infuse their work."
Courses offered will include: Exploring the Boundaries of Playwriting taught by playwright Tanya Barfield (The Call), Modern American Plays and Playwrights taught by Michelle Bossy (Associate Artistic Director, Primary Stages), Performing and Fine Arts in Progress taught by Andrew Leynse (Artistic Director, Primary Stages), Producing New American Plays taught by Elliot Fox (Managing Director, Primary Stages), First Draft Lab taught by playwright Sheri Wilner (Bake Off), and Theatre Arts Lab. For more information and to apply, please visit www.PrimaryStages.org/PS[NYC].

I've been diving deeper and deeper into my modular learning how to use the modules with each other. Daren from Control helped me with the patch above. With this patch I have an 8 step sequencer with two rows running. The first row is controlling the pitch of an oscillator and the second a filter cut off and resonance. You will need to use some multiples or Tiptop stackables to make this work. Holding a touch key on the Pressure Points holds the sequences on that step. Adjusting the ADSR's release really effects the sound. Try adding a sine wave LFO into the ADSR's Sustain CV control (if your ADSR has one) for some random spikes in the filter opening. Instead of clocking the Pressure Points with a straight clock use something like a uStep and send a few steps a break and then a few more steps for interesting patterns. Lastly try a VCA on the third Pressure Points row for volume control of each step. Enjoy!
"Pressure Points is a controller module, an analog sequencer that is played by hand. Touching the gold plated copper wires (aka Touch Plates), you become part of the circuit, generating a gate signal (Gate OUT), a control signal proportional to the amount of pressure applied (Press OUT) and the 3 Tuned Voltages for the activated Stage." – Make Noise

A melting pot of experiences across the world has inspired Judi Rich's exhibition in Keighley this month.
And with all these international influences, it's no wonder the Ilkley artist has entitled her exhibition Diversity.
The display in the café at Central Hall in Alice Street is Judi's first solo exhibition.
Judi completed a diploma in Art and Design at Craven College, Skipton, in 2008.
Since then, she has focused on developing her painting skills in terms of representational imagery.
Judi attended workshops and courses run by artists working in a variety of media and styles, also visiting exhibitions at home and abroad. She said that from this melting pot of experience she had derived her own personal choice of medium and style.
Judi said: "My first love is portraiture in oils or pastels focusing totally on the face.
"I try to capture the character of the model, working in a variety of styles such as sepia, vivid colour and with a limited palette."
Judi's recent work has centred on nature and animals, mainly in pastels, which she feels are an understated medium.
She says pastels allow the flexibility of sketching, detailed drawing and painting, also giving a clarity and vibrancy of colour.
At Central Hall, Judi is also displaying semi-abstract pieces that she created as a reaction to her surroundings and experiences.
She added: "I am passionate about my work to the degree that I am totally focused in the moment.
"When I finally finish for the day, I feel exhausted."
Most of Judi's work at the exhibition will be for sale, along with prints and cards of her work.
Diversity runs until March 26. Central Hall is open daily from 9am to 4pm, with the café open until 4pm. Admission is free.

If you are using WEBDAV (i.e. web folders) to access your forms and resources in the repository you may encounter the following error in Windows Explorer:
"Documents in this folder are not available. They may have been moved or deleted, or network problems may be preventing a connection to the server."
This error occurs when some of the folders in the repository contain spaces, so the spaces get replaced with "+" characters for the standard URL encoding. Internet Browsers are able to handle this URL encoding and you can access the folders and files, however WEBDAV cannot handle these URL encoded folder paths.
If there are spaces in the folder names, and they are displayed as "+" characters in the WEBDAV folder view, then you can workaround the behaviour temporarily by just renaming the folder and removing the "+" characters. Then you will be able to browse into the folder. This will revert back to the folder name with "+" characters when you re-connect to the WEBDAV folder.
The other option would be to link the WEBDAV folder directly to the problem folder (i.e. the one with the "+" characters), instead of linking to the repository root. This would require a WEBDAV folder entry for each problem folder in the repository, which may not be realistic depending on how many folders you have.
The ultimate solution here is to get the patch which addresses this issue in the LiveCycle repository. The issue has been fixed in LC ES SP4 (18.104.22.168), ES3 (10) and later versions. Please contact Adobe enterprise support if you require this patch, to ensure you get a version that will work on your platform and LC version.
Additional information
WEBDAV refers to the method of setting up a Network Location pointing directly to the LiveCycle repository on the LiveCycle server as follows:
1. goto network places
2. add location
3. http://<LCServer_ip_address>:<port>/repository
4. enter LiveCycle credentials for WEBDAV folder (e.g. administrator:password)
5. open WEBDAV folder

Thread: DOC files to PDFs

DOC files to PDFs
I have been uploading some of my wife's docs (knitting patterns done in Microsoft Word 2003) to google drive and then converting them to pdf with good success. However recently, the multipage docs have had several formatting errors which are not fixable.
What do you all recommend to convert docs to pdf? We only need do this a few times a year so we were looking for a free utility. Perhaps online?
Thanks kindly, Robby K

I use NitroPDF Reader free which also installs a PDF Printer driver so any app that allows you to select a printer can send it's output to a file in PDF format. It works great and so does the PDF reader portion of the software. Before switching to Nitro I used PrimoPDF also free but it only has the printer driver function I had to use FoxIt Reader to read pdf files which is one of the reasons I switched to NItro where I only need one application. HTHMay the Forces of good computing be with you!

If you have Office 2007 or later, Word can save direct to PDF. Also, Adobe has made version 8 of Adobe Acrobat Pro available as a free download (http://www.techspot.com/downloads/46...at-8-free.html - note the serial# mentioned there) and that can be used like a printer driver to 'print' a document to a PDF file.Cheers,

Foxit Reader 6 includes a print-to-PDF printer driver. I've used it for years after getting sick to death of the bloat and slowness of Adobe Reader. I recommend Foxit Reader with one caveat. You must pay attention during the install otherwise the default is to bundle in the execrable Conduit Search. I've just installed the latest version of Foxit Reader and made the following changes to the default installation.
1. Remove the default tick in the Add-on for Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari and Chrome checkbox.
Click to enlarge
2. Here's how I configured the Additional Tasks.
Click to enlarge
3. Very important: Do not choose Express (recommended). Instead, choose Custom installation (advanced) and remove the tick from the Install Search Protect... checkbox.
Click to enlarge
4. After installation, amend the Preferences so the Start Page and Adverts are hidden. (I also swap back from the Ribbon interface to the Basic menu.)
Click to enlarge
5. You can now 'print' to the Foxit Reader PDF printer.

Thanks for the responses. I have Office 2003 and we could convert to pdf for a time, but now it says the time has expired and we will need to buy the version when we click on the link.
We don't need to print (well, occasionally), my wife just publishes her pdf files / patterns to Ravelry, etc (all online or email...) so all we need do is convert.
I'll look into Nitro PDF Reader his afternoon
Thanks again, much appreciated.

If Office 2003 has expired then you may wish to try the LibreOffice office suite. It's free, imports DOC files (and DOCX files from later versions of MS Word) and can export to PDF natively, i.e. from within the default toolbar.
Click to enlarge
As a result it could be used to convert your docs to PDF and be used for your occasional printing needs.
Hope this helps...

I have been using a program called doPDF which is available online and free for personal use. Like some of the others, it installs as a printer driver. It creates very compact PDF files.

Thanks kindly once again for all the replies and extremely helpful suggestions!
I am embarrassed to say, but as I was working through the above comments, I decided to start over from scratch. I went back and uploaded my wife's doc to google, coverted it to a google doc and then downloaded as a pdf file and...this time all was well (spaces, table shading, etc.) in the multi page document. I am good to go.
But if it ever happens again (she has me do this 2-3 times per year), I know I have Plans B & C, etc delineated above.
Thanks once again for the extremely helpful and kind guidance!

Another free PDF document converter (which can be installed as a printer driver that works in all versions of Word, as far as I know - I certainly used it in Word 2000 and Word 2003) is PDF995: http://www.pdf995.com/

DoPDF works great.
And it does not take gazillions of MB of storage, nor does it require any additional emulation software.

Another choice is BullZIP PDF Printer:
I have been using it for years at work and home.
It has always worked well.
I carry it on my USB for quick installation where ever it's needed.
Have Fun!

Academic Year: 2009 – 2010
The Philosophy Department at UIS strives to be a national leader in offering advanced undergraduate education online while serving the whole UIS student population, graduate and undergraduate. The curriculum focuses on the areas of core analytic philosophy (philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, and related areas) and values (ethics, aesthetics, and political philosophy) while providing a sound background in the history of philosophy.
The B.A. degree in Philosophy is offered online and on-campus. Courses for the degree can be taken entirely online within three years. Students who take the major on-campus may need to take both evening and day classes as well as some classes online. Due to the high demand, online enrollment is competitive. The admissions process to the online major takes quality and diversity into account.
The objectives of the Philosophy major include providing students with basic knowledge in the main areas of philosophy (theory of knowledge, values, and history of philosophy); increasing their awareness of ethical issues; improving their analytical skills; and assisting them in developing problem-solving experience in at least one of the main areas of philosophy. Consistent with these objectives, the minimum distribution requirements are as follows:
Prerequisites In order to make an informed choice about a Philosophy major, students must take at least two classes (no fewer than 6 hours) as prerequisites: the critical thinking or logic prerequisite (PHI 301) and the general prerequisite (any other class in philosophy). In some cases, students may be conditionally accepted into the major and fulfill the prerequisites within their first year in the program. For Capital Scholars Honors students, one of the courses in the humanities and social science sequence counts as the general prerequisite. Prerequisites do not count toward the 36 hours required for the major.
Matriculation module Students must take the matriculation module in order to gain general information both about philosophy and studying philosophy online. It also allows the department to conduct necessary assessment activities. This module must be completed before the last 16 semester hours of philosophy courses are taken.
Three main areas of study
Students must take a minimum of two classes in the following three areas: core analytical philosophy, history of philosophy, and values.
A. In order to gain a comprehensive outlook on the history of philosophy, students have to take one class in ancient and medieval philosophy (such as PHI 421 Ancient and Medieval Philosophy, 4 Hrs.) and one class in the history of modern philosophy (such as PHI 425 History of Modern Philosophy, 4 Hrs.) or department approved comprehensive equivalents of at least 7 credit hours.
B. In order to gain familiarity with value theory, students are required to take at least two classes (at least 4 hours) in the areas of ethics, aesthetics, or political philosophy. This includes a minimum of two hours devoted specifically to ethics, satisfied by PHI 440 Ethics or an equivalent approved by the department.
C. In order to gain analytical skills, students must take at least two classes (8 hours) in the area of core philosophy, such as philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, philosophy of science, analytical metaphysics, and logic.
Area of specialization
Currently, students may specialize in the area of core analytic philosophy or in the area of values. In addition to the eight hours required of all majors, students specializing in either core analytic philosophy (Area 1) or values (Area 3) must take one advanced class in the area of specialization and a senior seminar associated with the chosen area of specialization. Students should note that advanced courses have at least 4 hours of Area 1 or Area 3 courses as prerequisites.
Philosophy elective In order to gain a broad philosophical perspective, every student needs to take 4 hours of philosophy electives (an extra class in any area of philosophy, including topics not covered in the main major, such as continental, feminist, or Asian philosophy; American pragmatism; or philosophy of religion).
Major requirements
General (any class in philosophy or a Capital Scholars Honors Interdisciplinary Humanities
and Social Sciences course) 3 Hrs.
PHI 301 Critical Thinking (or equivalent course in critical thinking or logic) 4 Hrs.
Bachelor's degree
Matriculation module 0 Hrs.
Area 1 (core) 8 Hrs.
Area 2 (history of philosophy) 8 Hrs.
Area 3 (values) 8 Hrs.
Philosophy elective (any PHI class) 4 Hrs.
Students may have 7 hours in any or all of areas 1, 2, 3, and 3 in the elective, with additional hours in another area.
Advanced class in specialization 4 Hrs.
PHI 495 Senior Seminar in Philosophy (in specialization) 4 Hrs.
General electives (4 hours must be outside philosophy) 12 Hrs.
Students should consult with advisors in the major for specific guidance regarding completion of general education requirements.
Admission to the online major
In addition to qualifying for admission to the university, applicants must meet the following criteria for acceptance into the online Philosophy major.
1. Priority consideration will be given to applicants with an overall grade-point average of 3.00 or better on a 4.00 scale, and those who have taken higher division courses from an accredited college or university. Note that in justified circumstances, students with lower GPAs may be accepted by the program.
2. Applicants must have taken two college-level courses in philosophy, at least one of them in the area of critical thinking or logic. Students may be conditionally accepted into the major and allowed to take the lower-division requirements concurrently with enrollment in the online Philosophy Department; students must complete prerequisite courses within the equivalent of a one-year time span.
Applicants who meet these formal qualifications will be in the strongest position to be accepted by the department. However, students wishing to be evaluated on characteristics and accomplishments beyond the grade-point average, or previous coursework in philosophy, should address the diverse ways they might contribute to the UIS Philosophy Department in their entrance essays and present reasons why they believe they would be successful as a philosophy major. Consideration will be given to students with backgrounds and strong abilities in philosophy as documented by writing samples, statements of purpose, and letters of recommendation.
Applicants must submit the following materials to be formally accepted into the Philosophy major:
1. A brief sample of the student's writing, preferably on a philosophical topic.
2. A brief statement of purpose (300 to 500 words) presenting the student's reasons for selecting the online philosophy major at UIS.
3. (Recommended) One to three reference letters from individuals who can attest to the student's ability for successful academic study.
At its discretion, the Philosophy Department may also consider whatever additional documentation the applicant may provide.
While there are no firm application deadlines, students should apply by March 15 to assure full consideration for the following fall semester. The department also admits a small number of students for the spring and summer semesters. Students not admitted for the spring or summer will still be considered for fall admission. Students who are accepted for fall admission by May 15 must register by August 1, or forfeit their acceptance. A wait list of applicants may be used to ensure full enrollment; preference will be given to the strongest applicants.
International students
International students whose native language is not English must submit TOEFL scores. International students enrolled in online programs are not eligible for student visas (see www.uis.edu/admissions/).
The writing sample, statement of purpose, the student's GPA, prior course work, and (optional) letters of recommendation will assist the program faculty in making admissions decisions. Communications with the student (online, via telephone, or in person) may also be taken into account.
Admission to the on-campus program
Students need only meet the general requirements for admission to UIS to be eligible to enroll in the on-campus major in philosophy.
The minor in Philosophy is open to all undergraduate students at UIS, both online and on-campus. The minor consists of four classes (at least 15 hours), at least 8 hours of which must be upper-division classes taken in Philosophy at UIS, with at least three hours in each of the following areas:
* Critical thinking (or logic)
* Values (ethics, aesthetics, political philosophy)
* History of philosophy
* An elective (any class or independent study in philosophy)
Students who wish to minor in Philosophy must formally declare their minor and consult with a philosophy faculty member to ensure that they are meeting their individual needs and program requirements.
Graduate students can enroll in 400- and 500-level philosophy courses. While 500-level courses are open only to graduate students, in exceptional circumstances advanced undergraduate students may petition to be admitted. Graduate students enrolled in 400-level classes are required to complete additional assignments and should identify themselves to the instructor at the beginning of the course.
Through the Liberal and Integrative Studies Department (LNT), graduate students can pursue an individualized degree that includes philosophy as its major component. Philosophy faculty will assist these students in developing a learning proposal and establishing a degree committee. Consult the LNT section of this Guide for details.

Recent experiments in beading and embroidery
Labels: beading, embroidery
This is where I log craft projects, ideas, products, materials and sources including links. I'll also document sources of inspiration. I love crafts, including knitting, quilting, scrapbooking, stained glass crafting and others. My specialties were knitted baby caps and glycerin soaps I call "Gemsoaps." Now, I'm into embroidery and beading.
I am a retired science teacher who loves creative endeavors. I love to learn. I love to laugh and make people laugh. I am married to a wonderful man and have one beautiful, brilliant daughter. My first grandson was born 2/17/2010!
