The Syria Files
Thursday 5 July 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing the Syria Files – more than two million emails from Syrian political figures, ministries and associated companies, dating from August 2006 to March 2012. This extraordinary data set derives from 680 Syria-related entities or domain names, including those of the Ministries of Presidential Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Finance, Information, Transport and Culture.

CHP: Pedestrian killed in Sacramento crash
No word on victim's identity
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KCRA) —
A woman died after she was hit by a vehicle Monday night in Sacramento, the California Highway Patrol said.
Rosemarie S. Jitner was 75 years old and from Sacramento, police said Tuesday.
The 79-year-old Carmichael driver -- who didn't realize right away she had struck a person -- pulled over and cooperated with police, officers said. The CHP doesn't believe drugs or alcohol contributed to the wreck.
The crash took place about 7 p.m., near Eastern Avenue and Fitch Way.
No street lights were in the area, the CHP said. The driver, behind the wheel of a 2000 Toyota Camry, was going about 40 mph before the wreck.
Jitner wore all black, likely making her hard to spot. She died at the crash scene, the CHP said.

Supermodel Heidi Klum is set to divorce her soul singer husband Seal, according to a report.
The German beauty married Seal in 2005 and they have three children together – daughter Lou and sons Henry and Johan. The Kiss From a Rose hitmaker also adopted Klum's eldest daughter Leni from a previous relationship.
The couple is famous for renewing its wedding vows every year with a romantic ceremony, but now editors at TMZ.com claim Klum is preparing to file divorce papers amid rumours the pair has split.
The runway star is allegedly expected to file a petition at Los Angeles Superior Court as early as next week, citing irreconcilable differences for the break-up.
Klum and Seal were last pictured together on vacation in Aspen, Colorado after Christmas.
Representatives for both stars had yet to respond to requests for a comment as WENN went to press.

Is genealogy now politically incorrect?
When my secretary became a legal assistant, nothing about her job changed, not even her salary. I have no idea if she was happier or felt more important when she went to her job everyday thinking she was now a "legal assistant" and not a mere secretary. This shift in terms is more than just a fashion or trend, it goes much deeper than that. We may joke about how garbage collectors became sanitary engineers, but this whole process is part of larger changes in our society, some of which are neither good nor desirable. One of the more visible socially and politically charged associations with some of these changes has to do with gender roles and perception. The change from waiter and waitress to server is a prime example. But the term "secretary" did not historically infer that the person was either male or female. There is a perception here that changing the label will somehow change the job.
I read a statement recently that clearly stated that family history was important because we learned the stories of our ancestors and not "just genealogy" finding names and dates. I have been doing genealogy for a really long time and that is exactly what I thought I was doing: learning the stories of my ancestors. But apparently, all of the history I have found doesn't count anymore because the term "genealogy" is now going the way of secretary and waiter and I am a genealogist.
But there is a much larger issue here. Genealogy has never been accepted as a valid part of the discipline of history. After all, history is important and genealogy is merely names and dates. Excuse me, but I thought all history was merely genealogy. I always thought those people who were only interested in the elite; presidents, rulers, kings etc. were the ones missing the boat. I thought learning about my family was important not just because they participated in some event considered important or were rich, famous or called themselves nobility.
I had the same thing happen to me when I was finishing my Masters Degree in Linguistics. One of the things I had focused on was the issue of "language universals" or those parts of language that are common to all humans. In other words, what makes language human? I wrote several papers pointing out the similarities between different language structures in unrelated languages. One day, one of my professors sat down with me and explained that at that time, referring to language universals was "politically incorrect," that wasn't the term he used, but that is what he meant. He told me that if I persisted in my interest in "language universals" I would never be able to get a job in the field of linguistics. In the end, that discussion was a major factor in why I ended up being a lawyer rather than a university professor. On that day, the world lost a linguist and gained another trial lawyer. In some cases, perception is more important than reality.
So should I just fold up my interest in genealogy and put it away in a drawer somewhere and quietly go about becoming a "family historian?" Maybe I should take up the politically acceptable pursuit of golf or shuffleboard? After all, aren't I entitled to an "active retirement?" Does that mean I have to change all my business cards and my email address? What I see as the danger here is not merely a change in terminology. There is something more important going on. It is the denigration of the basic function of genealogy; the verification of names, dates and locations, that is at issue. There is a not-too-subtle implication that you can do family history without worrying about such mundane things as names, dates and places. So let's abandon the term "genealogy" so people will be more willing to relate to and discover their ancestors.
Let me clarify, so there is no misunderstanding. I do not mind the term "family history" at all. What I do mind is the implication that somehow genealogists are not part of the "family history" community and that family history can be accomplished without resort to all that "genealogy stuff." There is a further implication that family history somehow magically appears; that stories and photos will continue to be available without the activity of doing all that stuffy, undesirable, old-people associated research. Rather than celebrating all the older participants in genealogy, it is as if the whole idea of "genealogy" is invalidated because its adherents are mostly older.
After all, young people have all those computer skills that automatically qualifies them to do complex historical research. No, I am not "down on the youth." Neither do I feel that I am insulting their intelligence when I point out that genealogy requires certain skills that are generally lacking in the younger population as a whole. But I do think it is time that genealogists push back some and help those who are not so inclined to accept the fact that historical research, no matter what you call it, is a complicated and challenging pursuit. There are those who do it well and those who do not. There are those whose only interest is names and dates, but they are the exception rather than the rule.
Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Don't make genealogy a bad and politically unacceptable term in your zeal to promote family history. You might just lose the very thing you are seeking. What is the activity you are trying promote by abandoning the term "genealogy?"

The people who are coming up with "new" ideas have too much time on their hands that could be used to do genealogy.ReplyDelete
When did this "political correctness" idea come from anyway? I would not say anything that is not polite or derogatory to anyone.
Things are still the same no matter what you call it or them.
You've got it exactly right! Family History's Star sounds stupid anyway. I used to be a Genealogist, now I am a Family Historisisst. Is that Historyist or Historist or what? Where is a linguist when you need one?ReplyDelete
James, is part of this distinction happening because some who don't do genealogy professionally don't feel comfortable calling themselves genealogists, so others are trying to make it sound less intimidating? Or, maybe because those who run genealogy websites and businesses (software, publishing, etc.) are trying to improve sales through less intimidating terms? (Not that you implied that businesses are the ones who are favoring the term family historian over genealogist.)ReplyDelete
Genealogy isn't just names, dates, and places. That's a big part of it, but it's so much more. It's finding our ancestors personal history and placing it within his/her story and a wider story (the community, national events, etc.) You need the method and skills of genealogy to make sense of the rest of it.
When I think about it, I am working on my family history. But, I am using the tools that are found in the field of genealogy to help me piece that history together. Even if I am not a professional genealogists, I'm still using genealogy to find my roots. It's still genealogy no matter how you slice and dice it.
I smell marketing behind the term "family history".ReplyDelete
Here's a fun discussion about the topic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Genealogy#Merger_proposalReplyDelete
Wikipedians want to merge the two articles "genealogy" and "family history" into one article.Replies
Very entertaining reading. I am not sure I could figure out what to do from that discussion. But, then again, maybe family history really is genealogy (or is it the other way around?). I think it is apparent from the comments to my posts, that most of the commentators have a very narrow view of both family history and genealogy. I wonder if those who attribute the term to the LDS Church understand the usage of the term "family history" in the UK?Delete
That's a good point. I think a factor that influenced the LDS Church's decision to switch to "family history" was knowing that's the terminology in the UK.Delete
Here's my take. "Genealogy" was what Mormons were supposed to "do," and the term took on unpleasant connotations because it was a guilt-laden duty. Most Mormons had no clue how to "do genealogy" but felt guilty about it. Many became allergic to it.ReplyDelete
In part to make genealogy appealing and to shake off the dusty, guilt-laden connotations, LDS genealogy authorities renamed it "family history." It always was family history -- and family history always involved genealogy. it was, indeed, a bit of marketing. (Marketing isn't necessarily evil.)
The focus also shifted from mere name/date/place collection -- not unique to Mormons, but unfortunately common among Mormons -- to emphasizing understanding our ancestors and our history. This was a healthy shift, particularly as research became something people *could* do because of the availability of records and good software.
The confound between professional and amateur genealogists is also part of the equation, but is mostly a concern to those of us who obsess over word usage. (Blessing, curse, blessing, curse...)
The prominence of so many non-Mormons in genealogy has liberated many LDS church members from the unpleasant association between genealogy and guilt. Mormons can now see the enthusiasm and energy among those who love genealogy research for the right reasons -- not because it's a duty on which hangs their eternal salvation, but because it's a joy.
It's infectious, whatever we call it.

Could it be that the movement to have "family history" supplant "genealogy" is an effort to make everybody "feel good" - to give a stamp of approval to children of single parents, adoptive children of non-traditional unions, sperm donations, etc., so that what matters most is not just names, dates, and places, but how everybody is one part of the human family? And we all live happily ever after? And can't we just all get along?ReplyDelete
As if the facts of your biological heritage don't matter, as if your DNA is irrelevant to your medical conditions. As if adoptees don't have family medical histories. As if truth does not matter so much as feeling happy.
- AnonymousAugust 4, 2013 at 8:35 AM
Yes, it could be that there is a gentle attempt to make everybody "feel good" - to give a stamp of approval to children of single parents. This is becoming more obvious with self-proclaimed genealogists who have been unhappy with their place in the traditional family tree. But there are situations where the family tree is "trimmed" to make it beautiful in the eyes of those who create it. Two questions come to mind: (1)Could the passion for "trimmed" family history still viewed as genealogy? (2)Should our education system offer genealogy under their history curriculum?ReplyDelete

TAUNTON — Valentine's Day at Taunton Nursing Home on Friday was an opportunity for couples to renew their marriage vows to one another.
The tradition, which dates back at least 10 years, is officiated by Taunton City Clerk and justice of the peace Rose Marie Blackwell, who goes table to table to conduct a brief, heartfelt ceremony.
"This is my beautiful bride of 64 years, and she looks just as beautiful today as when I married her," said Richard Curry, 92, his voice cracking and his eyes welling with tears.
Curry's bride, Harriet Curry, is also 92, but does not live at Taunton Nursing Home. She said her husband moved into the city-owned facility last summer.
She was there Friday, visiting Richard with their granddaughter, Laurie Tedeschi, and her husband, Bill, and one of the couple's grandsons.
Despite health problems, Richard became energized and emotional as he recounted his visit to Washington, D.C., in September as part of Honor Flight New England honoring WWII veterans.
A total of seven couples renewed their marriage vows this year, as compared with eight in 2013. In attendance for a second straight year was state Rep. Shaunna O'Connell, R-Taunton.
"I think it's nice that they do these things for the people here," said Louise Dias, 61.
Dias was about to renew her vows with husband Francis, 71, who has lived in the nursing home since September.
Lillian Tooley, 87, waited her turn sitting next to her husband, Jerrold, 79.
"I'm a little nervous," she said, when asked to comment on the day's event.
Jose Valadao, 89, and his wife Maria, 81, were at a table with granddaughters Lina Cabral, Maria Brasile and Lucia Vieira and her husband, Elmiro.
"I like it because we're renewing the vows," Jose said in Portuguese with Cabral acting as an interpreter.
"The same thing," his wife chimed in.
Brad Davidson, a hospice chaplain with Brookhaven Hospice of Framingham, gave the opening blessing.
Davidson, who has been married 33 years, said each couple's "declaration of commitment," is inspiring to himself personally and should be to other people in and outside the nursing home. He also said his opening blessing was improvised and not prepared or written out.

business, and a prominent political post at a challenging time - speaks

Evangel Profile
Peggy Reed: Associate professor of education
March 17, 2014
Just one glance at the multitude of children's characters that decorate Dr. Peggy Reed's office shows that she knows how to embrace the fun side of learning. Originally from Allen Park, Michigan, Dr. Reed began teaching at Evangel in 1985, and she has been bestowing her contagious love for early childhood education on Evangel Education students ever since.
Dr. Reed graduated from Evangel in 1976 with a B.S. in Elementary Education. She earned her master's in Elementary and Early Childhood Education from Southwest Missouri State University and her doctorate in Early and Middle Childhood Education from Nova University. Prior to returning as a professor, she taught kindergarten for eight years in Fair Play, Missouri. During Evangel breaks she still substitute teaches for grades K-8 in the local school system.
Dr. Reed met and married her husband, Bill, when she was a student at Evangel. They have three children and four young grandchildren. Along with spending time with her family, Dr. Reed's hobbies include home improvement projects, crafts and reading.
What first interested you in early childhood education?
When I graduated from Evangel, there was no early childhood major and no early childhood certification from the state. Instead, we had K-6 certification. I student taught 3rd grade in an outlying district, and before graduation, that school hired me for a kindergarten position because that was what they had open. The room was very empty, but since I was hired so early, I had all summer to make things and get the room ready. I had a lot of fun with that. I really enjoyed the first year teaching the little kids, and I stayed there eight years. I decided that I liked early childhood education, so I got my master's degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis in Early Childhood.
How well do you think Evangel prepared you for your future career?
When I graduated and got my first teaching job, I felt much better prepared as a teacher than some of my coworkers who had gone to other universities. Even back then, Evangel had more practicum experiences than other schools had. We also had more practical classes on how to work equipment. I felt very well prepared when I graduated. At my job, I was the one who others would come to if the old projectors broke because I had had a class on how to run them and other people hadn't.
What is the best part about teaching at Evangel?
The best thing is being able to work in a Christian atmosphere. When you've worked other places, you realize that it's really a privilege to be here where you can pray in class if a student brings up a need. Since my coworkers are Christians, we can also pray together. I like the ability to be open with your spirituality. That's getting harder in the public schools.
What is your favorite part about teaching Early Childhood Education?
My favorite part about teaching Early Childhood Education is how much fun it is. We get to play with toys and enjoy the company of little kids. What's better than that?
What is the most important thing you want students to take away from your classes?
The most important thing that I want students to take away from my classes is that "caring, committed, competent teachers shape the future," which is our department theme. My goal is that they will develop a compassion for children and families in addition to gaining the skills needed to be an effective teacher. It is very rewarding to watch this process occur in my students.
What advice do you have for prospective students, especially those interested in Evangel's Education program?
I think there's a real difference between Evangel's teacher education program and going to a state university. We have more opportunities for students to learn what they're going to need when they get out there. I think the small size and Christian atmosphere allow a person to really develop to his or her full potential. Also, a benefit of being at a small school is that you have direct access to faculty mentoring that you may not be able get somewhere else. I see most of my students from the time they come in as a freshman until they graduate. By the time they student teach, they've had all of my classes, I've been their adviser, I've seen them teach in different settings, and the students have the opportunity to grow in ways that maybe they wouldn't if they went to a school that had 50,000 students. Even though it costs more to attend Evangel, I think the trade-off is a much, much better career preparation. Think of it as an investment in the future.

NRG Energy (NYSE: NRG) is an independent power producer with generation operations in three countries. The company engages in the ownership, development, construction and operation of power generation facilities; the trading fuel and transportation services; trading of energy related products; and the supply of electricity to retail electricity customers in deregulated markets through its retail subsidiaries Reliant Energy and Green Mountain Energy. A majority of the company's revenues come from North America. As an energy producer, the company's earnings are susceptible to commodity prices and electricity demand.
The company earned $477 million on 2010 revenues of $8.84 billion, compared to $942 million on 2009 revenues of $8.95 billion. Contributing factors to the decline in net income are the sustained drop in natural gas prices and overall electricity demand. Also as a result of low gas prices, some of NRG's hedging positions that have hurt margins. NRG has acquired several companies in the renewable energy industry, which have the potential providing sources of future growth and of diversifying operations away from natural gas dependence.
NRG Energy's operations benefit from low, stable fuel prices (coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear fuel).[1] Because NRG's power station portfolio possess a fleet of diverse fuel sources,[2] price fluctuations in one of any of the above fuels affects NRG operating costs. Some specific trends to track include rising coal prices,[3] and rising oil prices.
To offset volatile natural gas prices and declines in electricity demand, NRG has several hedge positions on commodity prices.[4] When commodity prices fell rapidly in 2008, NRG reported record earnings partially as a result of their hedges.[5] However, these hedges have the potential of straining cash flows when commodity prices remain stable at historical lows.[6]
Additionally, NRG has acquired several renewable energy companies.[7] By diversify its operations, NRG's revenues become less dependent on commodity prices.[8]
Base rates on long-term electricity sales contracts directly impact NRG Energy's revenue.[9] The company's ability to maximize sale prices on contracts especially in California, Texas, and New England depends on local government demand and negotiation for the company's electricity.[10] NRG's competitiveness in these areas of high population density rests in its ability to sustain efficient, consistent operations relative to other area electric utilities.[11]
Additionally, environmental restrictions affect several aspects of NRG's (and the rest of the industry's) operations.[12] Regulation on coal, oil, and natural gas production and sales raises fuel prices.[13]Carbon emission regulation raises NRG's operating costs by forcing expenditures to clean up fossil fuel emissions from coal and oil-based power stations.[14]
Since NRG is a utility, the company has little competition. Utilities are typically monopolies that are regulated to ensure they are charging fair prices. Income comes from the utility company's contractual sales agreements with local and state governments. NRG competes with the following companies for contracts:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Two of Kentucky's top Democrats split sharply Tuesday over same-sex marriage, with Gov. Steve Beshear saying outside lawyers will be hired to appeal a decision granting recognition to gay couples married in other states after the attorney general announced he would not pursue the case.
The high-level intraparty divide — illustrating the rapid spread of the gay-marriage debate into America's conservative heartland — came four days after a federal judge in Louisville gave Kentucky 21 days to implement a ruling that overturned a ban on recognizing same-sex unions. Voters overwhelmingly approved the ban in 2004.
Attorney General Jack Conway choked up with emotion at a news conference announcing he would not appeal the ruling.
"I would be defending discrimination," Conway said. "That I will not do."
Minutes later, Beshear said in a written statement that the potential for "legal chaos is real" if a delay is not granted while the case is appealed. He noted that litigation over gay marriage is pending in many other states and said the issue ultimately should be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Unless the judge's order is stayed by a higher court, Kentucky will have to allow same-sex couples married outside the state to change their names on official identifications and documents and obtain any other benefits of a married couple in Kentucky.
"Employers, health care providers, governmental agencies and others faced with changing rules need a clear and certain roadmap," Beshear said. "Also, people may take action based on this decision only to be placed at a disadvantage should a higher court reverse the decision."
The statement said Beshear would not comment further Tuesday.
U.S. District Judge John G. Heyburn said in an opinion issued Feb. 12 that Kentucky's ban on recognizing same-sex marriages violated the Constitution's equal-protection clause in the 14th Amendment because it treated "gay and lesbian persons differently in a way that demeans them."
The decision arose from a lawsuit filed by two couples who were married in other states or countries over the past 10 years and sought to force Kentucky to recognize their unions. Heyburn's ruling does not require the state to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples; that is the subject of a separate lawsuit in which Heyburn expects to rule by this summer.
Heyburn is among several federal judges who have issued rulings in support of same-sex marriage since the Supreme Court's decision in Windsor v. U.S. in June that struck down part of the federal anti-gay-marriage law. The latest state ruling came last week in Texas.
Two of the rulings — striking down same-sex marriage bans in Utah and Oklahoma — are being appealed to a federal appeals court in Denver.
On Tuesday, a group of Republicans came out in support of legalizing gay marriage in those states, arguing that allowing same-sex unions is consistent with the Western conservative values of freedom and liberty once championed by Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater. The group, which filed a brief with the Denver appeals court, includes former Sen. Alan Simpson of Wyoming and former Sen. Nancy Kassebaum of Kansas.
Seventeen states and Washington, D.C., allow same-sex marriage. Democratic attorneys general in at least seven states — Virginia, Pennsylvania, California, Illinois, Oregon, Nevada and now Kentucky — have declined to defend same-sex-marriage bans that have been challenged in court by gay couples.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said last week that his state counterparts are not obligated to defend state laws banning same-sex marriage if they believe the laws violate the U.S. Constitution.
Conway, who said he consulted with Beshear and state lawmakers, said he prayed over his decision.
"In the end, this issue is really larger than any single person and it's about placing people above politics," Conway said. "For those who disagree, I can only say that I am doing what I think is right."
Tony Perkins, president of the conservative Family Research Council, assailed the attorney general.
"Jack Conway took an oath to uphold the constitution and the laws of Kentucky, not undermine them through indifference driven by his personal ideology," Perkins said. "Does Mr. Conway possess some mysterious knowledge and understanding that 75 percent of Kentucky voters who approved the marriage amendment don't have?"
Laura Landenwich, who represents several of the plaintiffs in the case, called Beshear's move "a political stunt designed to cull favor" for any future run for office. He is not eligible to run for governor in 2015 because of term limits.
"A true failure in leadership, and a waste of taxpayer dollars for the exclusive benefit of these politicians," Landenwich said.
Dawn Elliott, another attorney representing the plaintiffs, said any appeal is unlikely to be successful, no matter who argues the case for the state. "The legal analysis is the same," Elliott said.
During the 2011 gubernatorial race, Beshear didn't make any overt play for gay voters, but plaintiff Gregory Bourke — who married his partner in Canada — said the governor garnered strong support from that constituency.
"He's been sort of a friend of gay people over the years," Bourke told The Associated Press.

For a time, Occupy Wall Street was everywhere with its grass-roots encampments — first in New York City, then globally — and the refrain, "We are the 99 percent!"
And then it was gone. Its most famous camp in lower Manhattan was cleared out in an overnight police raid two months after it started, and other Occupy locations fizzled soon thereafter.
But five years later, demonstrators gathered once again in New York City's Zuccotti Park on Saturday to commemorate the movement and what they said has been its lasting impact.
About two dozen attended the gathering, many holding signs to demand political and banking reform. Others chanted, blew whistles and carried...

Course Registration Information
Student Responsibility
It is the student's responsibility to insure that courses taken meet degree requirements. Courses taken without a graduate program coordinator's permission may not be approved for a degree program. All students accepted by the Division of Graduate Studies must follow a program approved by a graduate program coordinator. Substitute courses may replace required courses only if approved by the appropriate graduate coordinator.
General Program Information
Students should be aware that additional requirements may be imposed for certification or licensure (even once a plan of study has been prepared) if such requirements are imposed by outside licensing or accrediting agencies. A plan of study may be subject to revision to reflect such additional requirements.
Course Schedules
For courses offered, consult the university web site, using the Open/Close system, or the Division of Graduate Studies at (203) 837-8244.
The school deans in conjunction with graduate coordinators and the Associate Director of Graduate Studies reserves the right to make changes in faculty assignments and, if necessary, cancel announced courses. The deans also reserve the right to limit class size and to refuse registration when class limits have been reached.
Student Independent Study (SIS)
The SIS provides an opportunity for matriculated students, with faculty sponsorship and approval of the graduate coordinator, to design and develop their own projects and learning experiences. Graduate students planning a SIS must complete the approval process by the last day of the drop/add registration period for a semester or term.
Faculty Developed Course
Occasionally, an academic department may offer an experimental course, labeled X98, to determine its value to the total departmental program or in response to a particular request from a group of students.
Registration Procedures
Graduate students may register for classes in one of four ways:
Web: Matriculated graduate students who have a PIN are able to register via the web. Students who wish to obtain a PIN should visit any of University Computing's staffed computer labs in White Hall 031 or Westside 117, or the Student Technology Training Center in Student Center 225. Web registration is available to matriculated students only.
Fax: Students may register by fax, using the registration forms available on the web site or at the Division of Graduate Studies Office, Old Main 206. The registration fax number is (203) 837-8326. No faxes will be accepted prior to midnight of the registration dates listed above. Any faxes received prior to that date will be processed at the end of the calendar day.
Mail: Students may mail their completed registration form with check or credit card authorization to: Division of Graduate Studies, Western Connecticut State University, 181 White Street, Danbury, CT 06810
In Person: Students may register in person (see dates listed above) in the Division of Graduate Studies Office, Old Main 206.
Credit/Semester Hours
To make satisfactory progress students must complete the required credits/semester hours within the time frame allowed for the degree.
Many graduate programs include one or two courses which must be taken after most other degree requirements are met. For example, in the M.S. in Education program, students opting for a non-thesis approach will register for ED 501 and ED 592 after completing at least 18 credits, including ED 500 and specific department requirements. Students are advised to check with their graduate program coordinator to determine the specific requirement of their program.
Generally no course may be taken for extra credit. The only exception to this rule may be made when the extra credit will complete a student's degree requirements during the current semester or term. This exception is contingent upon the instructor's willingness to arrange additional work whereby the student may earn one extra credit over and above that allowed for the regular class. In such instances an additional tuition payment for the extra semester hour is required.
Registration for summer courses is ordinarily limited to two courses per session. Graduate students who wish to exceed that number must obtain permission from their graduate program coordinator or, if they have not yet been assigned a coordinator, from the Division of Graduate Studies.
Only matriculated graduate students may earn credit for a Student Independent Study (SIS). Proposals for such study must be approved by the graduate coordinator before the last day of the add/drop registration period for the semester or term.
Graduate students may register to audit a class in the same way that they register to enroll. They receive no credit for an audited class but pay the same tuition as those who are taking the course for credit.
Withdrawal from a Course (and how it may affect your grade)
Students who finds it necessary to drop a course must immediately notify the Division of Graduate Studies in writing. An official form for this purpose may be obtained in the Division of Graduate Studies. Failure to withdraw in writing will generate a grade of "F" for the course. Ordinarily, students do not withdraw from a course after mid-semester. It is not possible to withdraw by phone.
Students may withdraw from a full-semester course without penalty until the end of the tenth week of the semester. Withdrawals are recorded on the student's transcript with the notation "W." There is no penalty attached to this notation. Withdrawals after the tenth week of a course normally result in an automatic penalty of "WF." Withdrawals through the tenth week are initiated by the student in the Division of Graduate Studies office. Later requests for withdrawal from a course without penalty are initiated through conference with the instructor.
Thesis Information
A matriculated graduate student who has completed all courses for a degree and is completing a thesis or research project is required to register each fall and spring semester for GRA 799: Graduate Thesis Advisement. A fee equivalent to one graduate credit plus a service fee is charged each semester.
Requirements for the Thesis Approach
After being accepted into a master's degree program, a student who chooses to write a thesis must prepare and secure approval of a thesis topic and outline from the graduate program coordinator and the dean of his/her respective school. The student may then register for Independent Thesis Research, which must be the final course in his/her program. Concurrently with the approval of the outline, a thesis adviser will be appointed to work individually with the student on the content of the particular thesis.
Students enrolled in the Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) in Professional Writing program should contact the M.F.A. graduate coordinator for thesis/PDE requirements.
Filing an Approved Thesis Outline
An approved copy of the thesis outline with appropriate cover sheet must be filed in the Division of Graduate Studies immediately after approval and prior to registration in the Independent Thesis Research course.
Studies Accepted for the Thesis Requirement
The types of theses which have been defined as acceptable in meeting the requirements are:
- A conventional study, usually of the hypothesis-testing types which may be either historical or theoretical.
- A study emphasizing the development of generalizations from comprehensive data.
- A creative project, involving the formulation of new problems, the elaboration of new implications, or the development of new relationships.
Thesis Form
"A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations" by Kate L. Turabian, sets forth the form required in the thesis. Copies are available in the University Bookstore. The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association and/or the CBE Style Manual (latest edition) from the Council of Biology Editors, Inc., may also be used in certain departments. The department of English requires that all research components of the master of art theses follow the Modern Language Association (MLA) guidelines. Students should consult their thesis adviser for specific information about thesis guidelines. Any graduate student writing a thesis has the right to petition through his/her thesis adviser to the dean of their respective school in order to obtain permission to use a different style format for his/her thesis.
Approval of the Completed Thesis
The completed thesis will be read and approved by the faculty and/or thesis adviser and by the dean of the student's school.
Submission of the Completed Thesis and Abstract
Students must file with the dean of their school one complete typewritten copy of the approved thesis, bound in an officially approved thesis spring binder. Thesis spring binders can be purchased in the Western Bookstore.
Students must submit to the Division of Graduate Studies one original and five copies of a five hundred (500) word or less, abstract or digest of the thesis. Paper of twenty (20) pound weight and at least twenty-five (25) percent rag content should be used. Contact the Division of Graduate Studies to inquire about any additional forms regarding your thesis submission that may be required by your program.
Time Limit for Thesis
A student has a maximum of two years to satisfactorily complete and file the necessary copies of the thesis and the abstract with the dean of the student's school so that the student may receive the appropriate approval or credit for the thesis, providing it is completed within the six year time limit for fulfilling degree requirements.
Final Date for Filing Thesis
The approved thesis and the required number of copies of the abstract must be filed with the dean of the student's school by March 1, June 1, or November 1 for graduation in May, August, or January, respectively.
Dissertation Information
Students in the Ed.D. program should visit the web site (wcsu.edu/edd) or contact the Ed.D. graduate coordinator at (203) 837-9121 for information about the dissertation process.
Guidelines for a Second Master of Science Degree in Education
Western Connecticut State University does not offer a sixth year degree in education. It does offer students an opportunity to get a second master's degree for an additional 30 credits.
Other criteria for obtaining a second master's degree include:
- Credits earned toward the first master's degree cannot be credited toward the second master's degree.
- Admission into a specific master's degree program is required. You may concentrate in special education, curriculum, reading or instructional technology but not repeat a concentration and course that you took previously.
- ED 500, Contemporary Education, must be retaken if the course was taken more than five years ago.
- Students must meet with their adviser and acknowledge the program requirements before being admitted into a second master's program.
- Second master's degree students do not need to repeat ED 501 and ED 592. However, they must complete a six credit-hour approved project (approval given by the Dean of Professional Studies and the program coordinator) or work on a six credit-hour approved thesis (approval given by the Dean of Professional Studies and the program coordinator).
- Students with a master's degree or equivalent from another accredited institution of higher education must adhere to the appropriate master's degree requirements. In case of a duplicate degree required course, a course substitution may be granted with the approval of the graduate program coordinator.

Some apps downloaded and installed from the Internet could adversely affect your Mac. Gatekeeper helps protect your Mac from such apps. Read this article to learn about Gatekeeper and its options.
Gatekeeper is a new feature in Mountain Lion and OS X Lion v10.7.5 that builds on OS X's existing malware checks to help protect your Mac from malware and misbehaving apps downloaded from the Internet.
The safest and most reliable place to download and install apps is via the Mac App Store. Apple reviews each app before it's accepted by the store, and if there's ever a problem with an app, Apple can quickly remove it from the store.
For apps that are downloaded from places other than the Mac App Store, developers can get a unique Developer ID from Apple and use it to digitally sign their apps. The Developer ID allows Gatekeeper to block apps created by malware developers and verify that apps haven't been tampered with since they were signed. If an app was developed by an unknown developer—one with no Developer ID—or tampered with, Gatekeeper can block the app from being installed.
Note: If you have an app that has not been signed with a Developer ID to support Gatekeeper, contact the developer of the app to determine if they offer an update which supports Gatekeeper.
Click here for more details
Malware detection (not Gatekeeper) uses what is known as a "deny list" technique to prevent known malware from running on your Mac. Unique attributes of identified malware are added to this list. If you attempt to open an app on the deny list, you will see a message informing you about it.
Note: If an app with a revoked Gatekeeper certificate is already installed, it will continue to run.
Important: Developer ID signature applies to apps downloaded from the Internet. Apps from other sources, such as file servers, external drives, or optical discs are exempt, unless the apps were originally downloaded from the Internet.
Gatekeeper options
Gatekeeper gives you more control over what you install. You can choose the safest option and only allow apps that come from the Mac App Store to open. There is also the option of only allowing apps that come from the Mac App Store and identified developers. Or you can choose to allow any apps to open, just like previous versions of OS X.
Gatekeeper options are found in Apple menu > System Preferences… > Security & Privacy > General tab under the header "Allow applications downloaded from:"
Note: The default setting for Gatekeeper in OS X Lion v10.7.5 is "Anywhere".
Gatekeeper options are:
- Mac App Store – Only apps that came from the Mac App Store can open.
- Mac App Store and identified developers (default in OS X Mountain Lion) – Only allow apps that came from the Mac App Store and developers using Gatekeeper can open.
- Anywhere – Allow applications to run regardless of their source on the Internet (default in OS X Lion v10.7.5); Gatekeeper is effectively turned off. Note: Developer ID-signed apps that have been inappropriately altered will not open, even with this option selected.
How to open an app from a unidentified developer and exempt it from Gatekeeper
If you are confident the app downloaded from the Internet is the latest version and is from a source you trust, you can open an app from an unidentified developer by following these steps.
Important: Some Apple screened apps from developers that are in the process of acquiring Developer ID signatures will present the "Open" option when they are double-clicked.
Note: In most cases, you will only have to perform these steps once for all user accounts on the Mac:
- In Finder, Control-click or right click the icon of the app.
- Select Open from the top of contextual menu that appears.
- Click Open in the dialog box. If prompted, enter an administrator name and password.
Note: If there is an app that presents multiple Gatekeeper dialog boxes, you can temporarily use Gatekeeper's "Always" option. Make sure to restore the Gatekeeper option that was there before to bring back Gatekeeper function.

Administrative Heads
From: President Gail Fullerton
Subject: University-Community Dinner Dance February 20, 1982
The highlight of the University-Community Dinner Dance for years has been the presentation of the Tower Award by the President of San José State University to some member of our community who has served the University with unique dis?tinction. In the past, the identity of the recipient of the Tower Award has been a closely guarded secret until the night of the presentation.
This year, I am breaking with that tradition of secrecy. The recipient of the Tower Award for 1982 will be Dr. Robert D. Clark, former President of San José State University. Dr. Clark founded the President's Council on the occasion of the 110th anniversary of the founding of San José State University. It seems particularly fitting to honor him at this dinner, sponsored by the President's Council to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the founding of our University. Dr. Clark's many other contributions to San José State University and to the community we serve will be described as part of the presentation of the Tower Award.
Approximately half of the $125 per couple that is the ticket price for the University - Community Dinner Dance this year of the 125th anniversary will be a tax-deductible contribution to the San José State University Foundation. This money will be used to endow the Robert D. Clark Distinguished Visiting Professorship. Annual income from the fund will be used to bring to the campus a prestigious scholar or public figure during the spring term each year.
During the years that Dr. Clark was President of San José State University, such distinguished visiting scholars as Buckminster Fuller, Margaret Mead, and David Reisman were brought to our campus. Funding has not been available for a distin?guished visiting professor series in recent lean times. This occasion and this man converge as the appropriate time to create an endowment to bring such distin?guished persons to San José State University in the future.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Russell Brand has a "Messiah Complex," and he's taking it on the road.
The British comedian announced Thursday that he's launching a world comedy tour focusing on Che Guevara, Gandhi, Malcolm X and Jesus Christ. Brand says the show examines "the importance of heroes in this age of atheistic disposability."
The 38-year-old says he plans to perform in theaters as well as "prisons, drug rehabs ... nationalist organizations, Mosques, foreclosed houses, protest sites, Synagogues and in people's private homes."
The "Messiah Complex" tour is set to begin Aug. 15 in Abu Dhabi and wrap up Dec. 9 in Iceland.
Brand's FX show, "Brand X," concluded last month.

#2 Mount Saint Mary - 95, #3 Farmingdale State - 75
Newburgh, N.Y. - The third-seeded Farmingdale State men's basketball team fell 95-75 to the second-seeded Mount Saint Mary tonight in the Skyline Conference semifinals held at the Kaplan Center in Newburgh, N.Y. The Rams end the season with an 18-9 record overall, while the Knights (21-5) will meet top-seed Purchase on Saturday night for the Skyline Championship.
Mount Saint Mary opened the game on a 20-2 run over the first six minutes and led 30-9 midway through the half. The Knights were hot in the first with a 50-percent field goal percentage, including five three's. Farmingdale State struggled to get going, shooting 32-percent from the field, and would trail 44-25 at the break.
To open the second, senior center Donald Lawes (Queens, N.Y.) threw down a dunk to make it 44-27 as the Rams cut the deficit to 10, 48-38, with an 11-4 run over the first four minutes.
Farmingdale State got as close as nine, 59-50, with a Wilson Molina (Queens, N.Y.) layup at 12:53, but they could not get any closer as the Knights shot 66-percent in the second half and made 13-of-17 free throws over the final five minutes.

Police this weekend launched an intensive search for a missing 6-year-old Arizona girl they fear could have been kidnapped.
Tucson police labeled the case of Isabel Mercedes Celis as suspicious and a "possible abduction" and were chasing down leads and canvassing the neighborhood all weekend.
Isabel's parents told police they put the youngster to bed Friday night, but she was gone when they checked on her Saturday morning, KVOA-TV, Tucson, said.
Detectives had yet to determine if someone broke into the home, the report said.
Police fanned out around the neighborhood Saturday and served a number of unspecified warrants, KVOA said. They were assisted by sheriff's deputies, the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service as well as tracking dogs from the state Department of Corrections.
