Year Two
Year Three
Year Four and beyond
The student's coursework over the first two years, which should cover a minimum of 9 courses, will be determined by the student in consultation with the area faculty advisor.
These times represent generous upper limits. Students will be expected to complete their doctoral studies well within these stipulated deadlines.
If the student's area faculty so desire, the student must also successfully complete the comprehensive exam requirement in an area – economics, psychology, statistics – that supports the student's area as part of the Ph.D. degree requirements. A student may pass the comprehensive exam in his/her area either unconditionally or conditionally (as determined by area faculty). In the latter case, the area faculty advisor will stipulate the conditions that must be satisfied by the student in order to achieve an unconditional pass. If the student fails the comprehensive exam for the first time, the student may take the exam again during the following year at the discretion of area faculty. If the student fails the exam again, the student will be required to leave the Ph.D. program. Students will be expected to attend periodic research seminars in their area, where JGS faculty and Ph.D. students, as well as invited faculty members from other business schools, present their research. The research seminar participation requirements will vary by area. The student's summer paper presentation, if the area requires it (as explained in the next paragraph), will also take place at these research seminars. These seminars provide a transition in emphasis for the student from courses to research and also afford a testing ground for dissertation proposals. They also provide an opportunity for the student to gain experience in critiquing and presenting material before a critical group. Some areas may require doctoral students to write a summer research paper during the first (and possibly even the second) summer of study. There are multiple, sometimes competing, motivations for such a summer paper: (1) It develops a student's research skills, (2) It enables a student to develop joint research with faculty for publication purposes, (3) It serves as a mechanism for faculty to evaluate a student's ability to conduct independent research. The student's summer paper, for an area requiring it, must be approved by the faculty member with whom he or she works during the summer before the student can present it at the research seminar. 3) For example, a student with less than B average for courses taken over the previous academic year, or who has not made adequate progress on research, or who has failed to formulate independent research ideas, would be considered to be making unsatisfactory progress in the Ph.D. program.
Annually, the academic progress of Ph.D. students in the JGS doctoral program is evaluated. In order to do this, the Director of the Ph.D. program requires Ph.D. students to complete and submit an annual report every year. This report should summarize the student's activities over the past year – coursework taken, status on research projects, research presentations, professional development and any other area-specific requirements that he or she has met. The Director, in consultation with area faculty, reviews each student's annual report, as well as the student's annual report for the preceding year (if applicable), and assesses the student as:
If the Director of the Ph.D. program, in consultation with area faculty, determines that a student is not making satisfactory academic progress in the Ph.D. program, one or more of the following consequences will result:
When the student successfully defends his dissertation proposal, the Director of the Ph.D. program approves the student for candidacy for a Ph.D. at Rice University.

Urban Legend
"This fall season emphasizes how much room there is for individuality in fashion. Designers delivered signature collections that offered a variety of options including ladylike looks for the uptown girl, sports-inspired looks for the tomboy, floor-length hemlines for a more romantic dresser, all in addition to an abundance of texture, print, and color."
—Amanda Brooks, fashion director, Barneys New York
"A leopard accessory is the must-have of the season, and this bag by Barneys newcomer Jerome Dreyfuss is a favorite. The relaxed shape, the cross-body strap, and the smaller size make it young and easy to wear."

Did you know?
The influential and controversial Afrikaans author Etienne Leroux (1922–1989) lived on a farm in the Koffiefontein district, and is buried in a local churchyard.
Rich history lies in the dusty little towns of the southern Free State, and Koffiefontein is no exception.
At the entrance to Koffiefontein, you will see a huge suspended kettle, often spewing water. It's an expanded model of the coffee pots used by Victorian-era transport riders who crossed these plains heading to the diamondfields and goldfields in the north.
At one particular fountain in this area, they used to stop and brew their coffee, often camping over for the night. Someone left a coffee bean near the fountain waters. It was discovered by another transport rider and the fable of 'coffee fountain' began.
In 1870, one of the transport riders discovered more than a coffee bean. He came upon a diamond near the fountain. Two years later, Koffiefontein was a booming diamond mining town.
The mine works – and subsequent Big Hole (yes, Kimberley is not the only South African town with a Big Hole) – was operated by De Beers, the world-famous diamond mining company started by Cecil John Rhodes, for more than a century. It is currently owned by Petra Diamonds.
Because of its close proximity to Kimberley, Koffiefontein was a focal point for a lot of military action during the South African War (also known as the Anglo-Boer War) War. Held by the British, it was often attacked by Boer forces. Blockhouses were erected around the town, but it was eventually ransacked and the local citizenry had to take refuge in the mine property.
Some of Koffiefontein's most significant historical features are the remnants of Italian wall art left behind by World War II prisoners-of-war (POWs) interned here. War-time Italian leader Benito Mussolini still glares into the distance, although the paint has faded somewhat. Amongst the 800 pro-Nazi sympathisers interned with the POWs at Koffiefontein was John Vorster, who would become an apartheid-era South African prime minister and state president.
Arguably, however, Koffiefontein's most famous son is the late Etienne Leroux, regarded by many as the greatest Afrikaans writer of his time. Although he lived elsewhere, Leroux always returned to his farm outside Koffiefontein to write every one of his 11 novels.
'I gain my impressions in other places, but my writing space is here,' he said.

It's more like a traditional, luxurious type of of bedroom design. I always look at a lifestyle magazine Singapore because I want to know about modern bedroom designs. It is good, but I prefer a modern approach rather than using more traditional designing and furniture.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/3/2013 (1633 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
If you're excited by the prospect of eating at the new restaurant on Esplanade Riel, you're going to love what the City of Winnipeg is planning next.
Once Chez Sophie is up and running in the middle of the downtown pedestrian bridge, the city's new Culinary Services Special Operating Agency plans to install more theme-appropriate restaurants on other pieces of public infrastructure.
Funding for the new agency was hidden in the fine print of the 2013 operating budget, using cash originally set aside to build a water park. But thanks to a freedom-of-information request, here's a sneak peek at what the city is planning to do with your hard-earned tax dollars, now that Esplanade Riel is finally going to be a success:
Cole Slaw Rebchuk
Welcome yourself to the North End by driving up the bridge over the CPR Winnipeg Yards and stopping in the middle for the finest Ukrainian feast you'll find on any side of the tracks. Start with a bowl of Arlington Bridge Borscht, which will only be served until 2020, then move on to a plate of pigeon perogies, featuring free-range rock dove captured right in the heart of industrial Winnipeg. If you still have room, you'll go cuckoo for Cole Slaw Rebchuk's kubasa, ground up at the foot of the bridge and kept fresh at nearby Winnipeg Cold Storage.
The Charleswood Porkway
Satisfy your cravings for public subsidies and southern U.S. cuisine simultaneously by visiting this outrageous new barbecue joint in the very centre of the 12-lane intersection of Kenaston Boulevard and Sterling Lyon Parkway.
Hidden in the middle of a traffic circle, The Charleswood Porkway offers low-and-slow cooking in the deepest pit ever cooked up by any level of government. The signature dish of pulled pork is marinated in our patented $22-million Infrastructure Sauce, a secret ingredient capable of making any development - or sandwich - palatable to the public.
You can also get half a side of smoked chicken, barbecue brisket and ribs, but unfortunately, no horse meatballs. Winnipeg just isn't ready to be world-class.
Red River Cereal
Never mind that three-week pop-up restaurant that operated at The Forks earlier this winter. The hottest breakfast joint in town is actually the coolest ever created -- a temporary cereal bar perched on an ice jam that will pile up at the base of the Redwood Bridge for precisely two hours, 17 minutes and four seconds on the morning of Monday, April 8.
Worldwide leaders in the field of molecular gastronomy will be pleased to serve you, and up to one other customer, a wide array of breakfast cereals created entirely out of gelatin globules that look just like corn flakes but are actually an indigestible variety of agar-agar, topped with Red Bull foam.
All patrons will be required to sign waivers, wear insulated drysuits and be willing to dine while wearing a safety harness tethered to a flotation device. Restaurant hours are subject to ice conditions and the availability of an amphibex.
Once you try it, you will agree: There is no taste like the Red River.
Chief Peguis Trail Mix
The next time you're in North Kildonan, stop below the Rothesay Avenue underpass, east of Henderson Highway, for a indigenous-themed meal of pemmican, pemmican and... well, pemmican.
The chefs combine blueberries and bison fat into a treat that will sustain you and your people through the leanest of winters and the worst of summer floods. Quantities are unlimited until the arrival of a neighbouring kiosk: The Northeast Pioneers' All-You-Can-Eat Greenway.
St. Mary's Roadkill
Cut down on calories while doing your part to combat Winnipeg's pest population at this innovative new co-operative venture between Animal Services Special Operating Agency and the folks at Eat Street.
Canada geese clogging up your favourite park? White-tailed deer dilly-dallying in driveway? Raccoons racing around your back lane? Run 'em over, scrape 'em up and bring 'em down to St. Mary's Roadkill, where a team of specially trained taxidermist-chefs will prepare your game just the way you like it.
Venison loin and roast goose are the most popular choices, but don't be afraid to try the pancakes, which are crispy on the outside but still fork-tender on the inside. Bring in enough carcasses, and they'll pay you.
Royal Canadian Mints
With the penny out of circulation, Canada's Treasury Board found themselves with too much office space, especially at the Winnipeg branch plant. But seeing as these people literally know how to print money, they've come up with a candy-store concept no kid could refuse.
Drop by the Fermor Avenue location for a chocolate-and-sea-salt toonie, a caramel-nougat loonie or quarters carved from a block of maple syrup. The dimes are made from honeycomb and the nickels are congealed out of raspberry syrup.
Interac or credit card only.
Sturgeon Creek
Why eat over the river when you can eat below the surface of the fifth-largest of Winnipeg's eight official waterways. A decommissioned Russian submarine houses a freshwater-seafood restaurant serving up the finest creatures from the city's rivers: walleye, sauger, pike and burbot, deep-fried in canola oil and served in discarded Tim Hortons cups, the latter collected fresh every morning from the banks of the Assiniboine.
Potage Avenue Eats
On your way to Shaw Park for a ball game? Uncertain where to eat on the east side of downtown? Stop in the centre of Portage Avenue for a bowl of soup served in a pothole - the definitive Winnipeg treat!
The helpful staff at Potage Avenue Eats know you don't have time to get out of your car between work and the game. So point your axles into their pothole and let gravity take you away. Don't worry about a parking spot: the city doesn't issue tickets inside potholes. Besides, nobody will notice your vehicle - either during your meal, or ever again.
On Wednesdays, you get a bread bowl.
The Brady Road Manfill
You will never get hungry again at Winnipeg's most generous all-you-can-eat buffet, conveniently located several kilometres away from anything on the south side of the Perimeter Highway.
Every hour of every day, the trucks never stop coming to Brady Road, a never-ending buffet of delights you can not possibly imagine. It's like the old adage: If you see a lot of trucks, you know the food is something special.
Seagulls eat for free. Offer not available on wing night.

Going Bovine by Libba Bray
In this Printz Award winning novel, Cameron contracts mad cow disease, and he sets off on a road trip with a video gaming dwarf in an attempt to find a cure. Along the way, he meets a variety of interesting people including a punk angel. Because of his disease, the reader never truly knows if Cameron is telling the truth. A very different read than other young adult novels out there.

As a child, if I woke up to pots and pans clanking, then the sound of a sharp sizzle, I always knew what came next: the smell of bawang and sibuyas - garlic and onion.
It was the kind of smell that stuck to your hair, seeped into your skin and clung to your clothes.
But it was also an indication that soon our house would be filled with family and friends, the sound of laughter and Tagalish for Thanksgiving.
Tagalish combines the national language of the Philippines - Tagalog - and English to better communicate with the American-born in the family. It bridges the gap between generations through words.
The colloquial speech reminds me of the way I grew up, where my Filipina mother and U.S. Navy-serving father, both raised in the Philippines, fused the traditions of their homeland with American ideals to help me and mga kapatid - my siblings - assimilate while never forgetting our roots.
But even before we could speak broken Tagalog with our elders, what brought us together most was food.
"Salu-salo over pagkain," my mom fumbled to explain to me.
After the laughter subsided, she translated the broken Tagalog phrase to mean: "getting together over food."
I can still vividly remember the feel of the cold tile of the kitchen counter beneath me as I sat watching my mom move about the kitchen, adding pepper to the pancit in the wok and tossing lumpia in the fryer.
As soon as she took the lumpia out, my uncles, aunts, cousins and I could hardly wait to take a bite. But more often than not, after the loud crunch, at least one of us would let out a short scream because we burned our tongue. We were too impatient for the egg rolls to cool off.
The heaping bowl of pancit and crispy lumpia at the Thanksgiving table, in our family, was as important as the turkey. They were the dishes that brought us all together.
I am older now, living away from my family's dinner table, but I always find myself yearning for the taste of my mother's savory dishes no matter how much I stuff myself with roasted turkey, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie.
I am thankful for the memories of my mom in the kitchen and ever-grateful to the friends who take in Thanksgiving "orphans" like me to provide new memories. This year in particular, I am thankful for those who have extended invitations for my very first Los Angeles Turkey Day.
But without the Filipino staples of my mom's kitchen, the holidays won't quite feel like the holidays.
That's why I will attempt to cook my mom's famous pancit this year to see if I can bring the taste of my home to my friends and fellow holiday "orphans."
Wish me luck.

HOUSTON - Police arrested a driver after officers chased him through the Galleria area.
Houston police said they spotted a suspicious man sitting in his car at an apartment complex at 6100 Hillcroft Street about 4 a.m. on Friday.
The man tried to hide something when the officer approached him, officials said.
The officer asked the man to identify himself, but the man did not answer, detectives said. Police said the man shoved the car into drive and sped off down Beechnut Street toward the West Loop.
The officer chased the man to San Felipe Street near Post Oak Park, where the driver entered the Amegy Bank Building parking structure. The man then crashed through the security gate in the garage and drove up to the third floor, investigators said.
Detectives said the man got out of the car and jumped from the third floor to the ground. Another HPD unit was pulling up to the garage at the time, and officers took the man into custody. Emergency crews then took the driver to the hospital with minor injuries.
Police said car the man drove overheated and caught fire, which is why the driver tried to leave the car in the garage.
Officers determined that the car was stolen. Detectives said they found several burglary tools inside the car.
The driver's name has not been released.

Travelling from London to Nepal on the back of a truck in the early 1970s opened a new world for Mary Martin. She met many people and crossed many countries along the way. But she fell in love with Nepal and returned twice to the small south Asian nation to work among the poor.
Now, back in Grande Prairie, the 64-year-old physiotherapist at Queen Elizabeth II Hospital is hard at work trying to raise the profile of the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace (CCODP), and raising awareness of the needs of the developing world. She has been serving as CCODP coordinator for the Archdiocese of Grouard McLennan for almost two years.
One of Martin's main goals is to create awareness about the developing world "because people have no idea what's going on in developing countries," she says matter-of-factly.
"I just think that we need more awareness of the impact of things like globalization both for developing and developed countries."
Martin has also been trying to adjust to life in Canada after 10 years overseas.
"It's very hard to adjust to Canadian culture after living in a developing country," she says. "There is so much excess, there is so much consumption. It's just a different worldview.
"I fit much better in Nepal than I do in Canada in terms of the values and the consumerism and those sorts of things, so I needed some time to adjust to being back in Canada."
Half the 30 million people in Nepal live on less than a dollar a day. Malnutrition rates are high.
"People don't have enough to eat and yet our problem is obesity," Martin lamented. "We are eating too much. Where is the justice if the majority of the people are living in poverty while we are struggling with obesity?"
In June 2010, Archbishop Gerard Pettipas, who visited Martin in Nepal in mid-2004, asked her to lead Development and Peace in Grouard-McLennan.
"The reason I like D&P is because they do good development. I think they do sustainable, wise, respectful development that is based on the needs of the local people," Martin says.
"So many times development is based on the needs or the ideas of the donor and this is a huge error in my viewpoint."
"I think Mary is a wonderful lady and very brave lady," said Pettipas. "She approaches life with a sense of adventure and believes strongly in Jesus Christ and in the Church."
The Grouard-McLennan archbishop said he appointed Martin to lead CCODP in the archdiocese "because she has a strong sense of what development is."
Martin said she doesn't regret having said yes to Pettipas' request, "Although it's been a huge amount of time because (CCODP) sort of died down a bit (over the years) and needs to be revived."
Revived it she has. Since Martin took over, the CCODP group in Grouard-McLennan, has grown to be a very dynamic group.
In 2010, for instance, the group had almost 50 people at its Share Lent workshop — more than the Edmonton and Calgary dioceses combined, noted Alberta-Mackenzie CCODP animator Sara Michel, who led the meeting.
"Our diocese is huge but we phoned many people and many of them came," Martin says. "I think that's really helped to give us a solid base."
So impressed was CCODP's national council with the activity in Grouard-McLennan that it reinstated regional animator services to that region, which enabled Michel to again visit the diocese last year for the fall campaign. Previously, the region mostly received online services from the regional office.
As a further show of confidence, Martin's group has been given the task of hosting CCODP's regional assembly in April. Delegates from across Alberta will attend.
"Mary Martin has been inspiring to so many people," said Michel. "She is such a strong leader. She constantly amazes me with her enthusiasm and her ability to get things done."
Her enthusiasm doesn't wane even in the face of breast cancer.
"In a way that gives me more time to work for Development and Peace." The CCODP leader has been off work at the hospital since September when she started chemotherapy treatment.
Born in Montreal and raised in Edmonton, Martin is the holder of an honours math degree from McGill University and an education degree from the University of Alberta.
She taught high school at Grand Centre for three years before she returned to school and did four years of physiotherapy and occupational therapy at the University of British Columbia. She moved to Grande Prairie after graduation because she wanted to live in a small town with a large hospital such as the Queen Elizabeth II Hospital.
Martin ended up in Nepal in 1974 "because I wanted to travel to Nepal to walk to Everest base camp."
"I found out at that time that the cheapest way to get to Nepal was by truck. So I went from London in the back of a truck and it took three months to get to Nepal and in those three months I went across many countries and I found that my favourite countries were Afghanistan and Nepal.
"So eventually I went back and I worked in Nepal because I knew that it was a country that I really enjoyed."
Nepal is a land-locked country located in the Himalayas Mountain. It has dense forests, hills and valleys and is a good hiking location for tourists.
Most people in Nepal are subsistence farmers, meaning they grow enough crops to feed their families for six months. There are people who are extremely marginalized in Nepal such as those with leprosy, people with disabilities and people who have been exiled from their village for some reason.
Martin first worked in Nepal from 1993 to 1997. She was sent there by the Dooley Foundation, an American volunteer agency that promotes primary health in developing countries. It paid her a small stipend, just enough to live on.
In January 2000 Martin retuned to Nepal and stayed until late 2009. She worked in the capital city of Kathmandu for the United Mission to Nepal, a Christian development agency. Volunteers International Christian Service, better known as VICS, an organization run by the Spiritan Fathers, supported Martin's 10-year stay in Nepal.
Many of her friends donated to VICS, enabling the organization to support her.
Initially Martin trained local NGOs and community groups on how to better help their people with disabilities.
Then she worked in a middle management position in charge of a team of 23 Nepalese and foreign volunteers addressing issues of HIV/AIDS, education, income-generation, advocacy, women and children issues, health and social and conflict transformation, disaster management and organizational development.
Most foreigner volunteers working along Martin were Protestant. "It's illegal to proselytize in Nepal (a Hindu nation) and so we witnessed to our faith through our actions but there was no preaching or proselytizing."
Martin lived in Kathmandu "but I travelled out of it quite a bit for work."
She launched a physiotherapy school at Kathmandu University in 2002 with 15 students. It is the only school in the country that trains physiotherapists. She started the school with four foreign teachers and now it's being run entirely by Nepalese physiotherapists as teachers.
"My passion for development is sustainability and capacity building and I think that (the physiotherapy school) is a good example of that.
"We started it with a lot of foreign help and we ended with them running it entirely by themselves.
"They are training Nepalese to be physiotherapists in Nepal. That's sort of a good symbol of what I try to do in work ing overseas."
Martin said she stayed in Nepal virtually without pay "because it's a real privilege to work alongside people of another culture."
"I learned a lot about different ways of living and I was able to contribute in a way that they are now carrying on with those improvements by themselves. That gives me tremendous joy.
"So it's a real privilege; it's not a sacrifice. I didn't make any money but I didn't want to make any money. Money is over-rated."
One of Martin's dreams would be to have youth from the Grouard McLennan Archdiocese go on a solidarity trip to countries where CCODP has partners, so they can understand good, sustainable development.
Canadians, according to Martin, need to learn how to help people in developing nations.
"People give blankets to orphanages. Well, that just creates dependency; it doesn't really help," she said. "We need to ask why there are orphanages. You need to look at the root causes of poverty."
When Martin was working in Nepal "we were all very focused on the UN millennium development goals. People here have never heard of them," lamented Martin.
"We used to rank every single piece of work we did as to which of the millennium development goals it was addressing. Was it addressing the universal right to elementary education? Was it addressing equality for women?
"People are just unaware but it's not their fault," continues Martin. "That's why D&P's role as an educator and an advocacy tool here in Canada is so important because people need to engage in those issues.
And they can't engage if they don't even know the issues."

• liquorish •
Pronunciation: li-kêr-rish • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: (Archaic) 1. Pleasant to the palate, tasty, delicious. 2. Fondness (especially of delicious food), desirous, longing. 3. Lecherous, lustful, filled with sensual desires.
Notes: Today's Good (if archaic) Word may also be spelled lickerish, the way it is pronounced. It is widely confused with the word licorice (also spelled liquorice), so much so, in fact, some dictionaries list this pronunciation as an acceptable alternative to licorice. Now that today's word is archaic, it may be time for it to be replaced.
In Play: The latest sense of today's Good Word is the first one on the Meaning list: "Stella Doro serves some of the most liquorish morsels I have ever tasted at her soirées." The original meaning is the last one above: "Phil Anders is known for his liquorish eye and disrespect for women."
Word History: This word is a mispronunciation of lickerous, with all the same meanings. The third sense is the one that tells of the origin of the word: it is a variant of Old French lecheros "lecherous". This word was based on Old French lecheor "lecher", someone who lives in debauchery and gluttony. The root of this word was borrowed from the Old Germanic word that came down to English as lick, to German as lecken, and to Dutch as likken. Its traceable history goes back to Proto-Indo-European li(n)gh- "to lick". With the Fickle N it emerged as Latin lingua "tongue, language", which reached French as langue "tongue" and langage "language". English borrowed the latter as language.

Charlyn Koo's Glitzy and Golden Holiday Cards
I rarely entertain but when I do, I like to do it up in style. What is suppose to be a simple get-together with the girls usually turns into a lavish feast that takes a week's preparation if not more. From the Martha Stewart-inspired place settings and gourmet menu to the sparkling wine glasses, no details are overlooked. There's only one thing as painstakingly consuming as preparing the perfect meal- and that is picking the right stationary. Yes, I admit it. I am that girl that takes hours searching for that right card for that right person. I've kept every card I've received since my high school years (so long ago). I can only hope that when my recipient receives my selected choice, the effort and time was well worth it. For the holidays, instead of the usual assortment of bland holiday greeting cards, consider giving family and loved ones stylish alternatives. Not only are these blank holiday cards from Charlyn Koo fashionable, they incorporate two of my loves- gold and bold graphics. How truly divine!

SPRINGBORO, Ohio (AP) -- Authorities in southwest Ohio are looking for a possible third bank robbery suspect after two men were arrested following a nearly five hour standoff.
A township police officer near the Dayton suburb of Springboro says a third person might have been waiting in a getaway car during the attempted robbery Friday.
The Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/KjcKqL ) reports that the suspected getaway car had been rented in Indiana and was recovered near the bank.
Two armed suspects surrendered peacefully Friday after barricading themselves in a Fifth Third Bank branch.
The two are now in custody and are expected to be arraigned Monday in U.S. District Court in Cincinnati.
The FBI says both men are from Indiana.

Utah State Downs Liberty, 3-0
Utah State used an efficient offensive attack to hold off Liberty, 3-0 (25-11, 25-11, 25-23), on Saturday at Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Aggies won the 2012 WAC regular-season championship, while the Lady Flames are the two-time defending Big South champion.
Utah State (6-4) hit .462 as a team, and finished in third place with a 1-2 record during this weekend's Duke Invitational. The Lady Flames (1-9) hit .136 in recording their sixth consecutive defeat. The Aggies held a 10-1 advantage in blocks, while edging the Lady Flames in digs, 40-37.
Liberty redshirt senior Kendle Rollins was named to the all-tournament team for her efforts this weekend.
Liberty was led in kills by freshman Nzea McQuitery, who recorded a career-high 11 kills at a .368 pace. Sophomore Monica Johnson hit .357 with eight kills. Junior Gabrielle Shipe collected a match-high 12 digs, while sophomore Caila Stapleton registered 16 assists and senior Becca Haraf totaled nine digs.
Elle Brainard, a sophomore, paced all players with 15 kills for the Aggies, and was followed by 11 kills from junior Rachel Orr. Junior Kaitlyn VanHoff recorded a match-high five blocks, and junior Paige Neves dished out a match-best 35 assists.
The Aggies connected at a .519 clip in taking set one, 25-11. Utah State used an 8-1 rally to gain an early seven-point advantage, 10-3, and pulled away late for the 14-point victory. Brainard recorded six kills for the Aggies, while McQuitery countered with a 4-0-4 hitting line for Liberty.
Utah State posted a 25-11 victory during the second set, hitting .792 for the set and for the second straight set finished with an attack error. The Lady Flames recorded a .227 hitting percentage during the middle frame. Four Aggies recorded at least three kills, led by four from Brainard and Van Hoff.
The Lady Flames battled back from 20-14, set-three deficit, with a three-point run capped by back-to-back kills from Rollins and Johnson. Utah State restored its advantage to five, 23-18, following two kills from Brainard. McQuitery sparked a 6-1 Liberty rally with a pair of kills, and Susan Babcock sent down a kill to make it 24-23, Utah State. After an Aggies timeout, an errant serve gave Utah State its 25th point, clinching the match.
Utah State outhit Liberty, .250-.188, with the Aggies posting five blocks. Brainard led all players with five kills, while McQuitery and Johnson both had four kills for the Lady Flames.
Liberty's 10-match road swing continues next weekend, when the Lady Flames compete in the WVU Gold & Blue Players Challenge in Morgantown, W.Va. The Lady Flames will face the host West Virginia Mountaineers on Friday at 1 p.m., and will then meet the UMBC Retrievers on Saturday at 1 p.m.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/10/2012 (1765 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
When two U.S. presidential candidates battle roughly to a tie in a debate, is there a winner?
Did President Obama win on Tuesday simply because he was able to hold his own this time on the debate stage with Mitt Romney? Did Romney win because the momentum he had built during the last two weeks wasn't completely reversed?
The pressure on the president was greater, of course, because of his disastrous showing in the first debate two weeks ago, when Romney seized control and Obama barely registered a coherent objection. A second loss would have been disastrous for the president's campaign.
But this time, a different Obama showed up. The president was feisty, assertive and energized. He questioned Romney's arithmetic; he attacked his opponent's honesty; he reminded voters of the severely conservative positions Romney took during his long quest for the GOP nomination, and he rebutted Republican attacks on his record.
"Governor Romney doesn't have a five-point plan," Obama charged. "He has a one-point plan -- and that plan is to make sure folks at the top play by a different set of rules."
And yet, for all that, the Long Island town meeting wasn't a knockout for Obama. The relentlessly on-message Romney who surprised Obama in Denver showed up again on Tuesday, and scored plenty of the same points.
"The president's policies haven't put people back to work," he said. "We don't have to live like this. ...My priority is jobs. I know how to make that happen.
"If you elect President Obama, you know what you're going to get. You're going to get a repeat of the last four years," he said.
The central exchanges of the debate played out like a slugfest between two boxers with very different styles but roughly equal strength. Romney attacked Obama's record, especially on the economy; Obama responded by attacking Romney's credibility.
So where does that leave us? Just about where we expected to be at this point, with an extremely close election.
Partisans will score the bout according to their tastes. Democrats will hail it as the revival of their champion in his current populist persona. Republicans will argue that Romney eviscerated the Obama record, and that the president didn't present much of a program to show how his second term might improve on the first.
And both sides, oddly, will be mostly right. The candidates' second debate confirmed what polls were already telling us: The campaign has returned to its pre-convention deadlock, a race that's within a single percentage point nationwide and too close to call in battleground states such as Ohio and Virginia.
For that reason, if I had to call the debate, I'd give it to Obama -- not on substance but on what it did for his prospects.
For a week or so, it appeared that Romney was gaining momentum above and beyond the bump he got from his upset victory in the first debate. Enthusiasm was leaching out of Democratic ranks at the very moment they needed to rally volunteers to hector their voters to the polls. That erosion has probably now been stopped.
And Obama had good moments on at least two important issues.
The president largely won an exchange over equal pay for women -- the quintessential swing voters in this election -- noting that he signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act into law over the opposition of many Republicans. Romney argued that his record as governor of Massachusetts, when he took pains to include women in his cabinet and get them home in time for dinner, was female-friendly, but it sounded distinctly second-best.
And Obama used a tough question about inadequate security at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, to man up. "I'm the president and I'm always responsible," he said, adding that the suggestion that his administration was playing politics with the issue "when we lost four of our own... (was) offensive."
The president capitalized, as well, on a rash decision by Romney to volunteer that contrary to popular belief, "I care about 100 per cent of the American people."
That gave Obama the opening he needed, in the final moments of the debate, to remind voters of Romney's disastrous assertion that 47 per cent of Americans are dependent on the government and short on personal responsibility.
"Think about who he was talking about," Obama said. "Folks on social security. Veterans who have sacrificed for their country. ...I want to fight for them."
An ancient rule of politics holds that it is better to be lucky than smart. In Tuesday's debate, both candidates turned in smart performances -- but Obama was also lucky. His campaign can only hope that was an omen for the remaining three weeks of the campaign.

if (isChecked) {
$("p.checked").html("Checkbox is checked: True");
} else {
$("p.checked").html("Checkbox is checked: False");
You can easily achieve the desired result by targeting the start of the id which would be check, see the below which would work fine.
$(function() {
$('input[id^=check]').on('click', function() {
$('.checked').html('Checkbox is checked: ' + ($(this).is(':checked') ? 'True' : 'False') + '');
Excellent Chris. One more question. How can I get value of id to pass to db? Thanks
How were you planning on sending the value to the database?
preferably, ajax but would be willing to try either.
Ok so what I will suggest is you head over to the jQuery site via the below link and have a read about jQuery.ajax() and see how far you get, if you get to a point where you get completely stuck just let me know and I would be more then happy to help.
Thanks Chris
I am looking at the jquery site now chris with regard to ajax, but I seem to be having a problem getting more than 1 value with your code example. For instance, if there are more than 1 checkboxes then the click only gets the value of each checkbox. I need to find a way so if there are 3 checkboxes and a user clicks say 2, I need to get values from both checkboxes. Can you help with this? Thanks
I tried following code, bot still only showing 1 value when clicked.
$('.checked').show().html('Checkbox is checked: ' + $(this).val()).map(function(){ return $(this).val(); }).get().join(",");

An epic cycling tour has geared up an Ilkley woman to establishing her own business.
Andi Lonnen, who has been cycling with Otley Cycle Club for eight years, set up her financial training business Alba following a 1,600-mile cycle on her own across Switzerland and France.
A former finance director, she decided to take on the mammoth challenge during a career break in the summer of 2012.
"After a truly fabulous tour – one of the best experiences of my life, I wrote a book about my adventures," she said. "As I was writing it, I realised the biggest lesson I'd learnt on the trip was to have courage. I'd had the courage to attempt a challenging cycle tour, something I didn't know I could achieve. Now could I apply this to my career?"
Andi Lonnen Business Associates (Alba) was set up January 2013 and in just one year the business has many happy clients, glowing testimonials and a professional website. Andi, who currently chairs the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants Yorkshire Women's Network, said: "Providing upbeat, highly practical and participative business finance training and coaching is the main focus of the business, making finance accessible and enjoyable to even those terrified of finance and numbers.
"We also provide part-time finance director services to small businesses that do not yet require the services or expense of a full time finance director."
She added: "The sole purpose of all our services is to improve the financial health and performance of your organisation. I challenge everyone to have courage in themselves and to learn some basic business finance skills. Magic can happen when people know how to contribute to increased sales, improved costs and a healthier cash flow. It can turn around your business!"
