Couple Recalls Disney Meeting As Children
Husband, Wife Met At Theme Park Decades Before Wedding
Alex and Donna Voutsinas are like many couples; they met at work, fell in love and got engaged.
Days before their wedding, the couple was looking at old family photos when Donna came across a picture of herself as a child on vacation at Disney and showed it to her fiancé.
But Alex was more interested in the man walking in the background behind Donnas smiling family and the character Mr. Smee from Disney's "Peter Pan."
Alex recognized the man in the background because it was his father, who was pushing a stroller during their own family trip to Disney.
Decades before they met as adults, the couple had crossed paths at Disney as kids.
Just to be in the same picture with my wife when we were basically toddlers, its unbelievable, Alex Voutsinas said.
The encounter is more unbelievable because the two families lived countries apart. At the time the photo was taken, Donna's family was living in Florida and Alex's family called Montreal home.
I was glad he proposed before the picture, Donna said, because I know that its because he loves me and not because he thought it was meant to be, it was fate.

- Page 1 Fujifilm FinePix HS30EXR Review
- Page 2 Design, Performance, Image Quality and Verdict Review
- Page 3 Sample Images: ISO Peformance Review
- Page 4 Sample Images: General Images Review
- Manually operated 30x zoom
- Well featured and easy to use
- Flexible EXR modes produce consistent results
- EVF much improved from previous model
- Better battery life than previous model
- Still a bit sluggish in the performance stakes
- Quite noisy at mid to high ISO settings
Key Specifications
- Review Price: £310.00
- 1/2.3inch 16MP EXR CMOS sensor
- 30x optical zoom (24-720mm in 35mm terms)
- ISO 100 - 3200 (extendable to 12,800)
- 1080/30p Full HD movie recording
- Tiltable 3in, 460k-dot LCD monitor
- 920k-dot electronic viewfinder
In most other respects, however, the HS30 is largely identical to the HS20. As such its highlights include a manually controlled 30x optical zoom; the ability to record lossless Raw image files as well as fine or standard quality JPEGs; a generous range of exposure modes including the full quartet of PASM controls and Fuji's proprietary EXR shooting modes; a one-touch panoramic capture mode; 1080/30p Full HD video recording; a number of high-speed video capture modes that play back in slow-motion; a tiltable 460k-dot rear LCD monitor, and of course the same DSLR-like styling and handling characteristics of its predecessors.
At its heart the HS30 uses a backside-illuminated 1/2.3in CMOS EXR sensor that Fuji claim has been "improved" from what was found inside the HS20, which works in tandem with a dual-core Fuji EXR image processor. The EXR sensor is unique to Fuji and uses a triple-layer pixel array that allows neighbouring pixels to be combined when required to increase the signal-to-noise capacity of the sensor – a major factor when it comes to controlling noise in low light. In addition to this, the EXR sensor can also be augmented for dynamic range or for resolution. There is a price to pay, however, in that optimisation of the EXR sensor for either low-light or dynamic range halves its effective resolution from 16MP to 8MP.
Maximum output at 16MP in the default 4:3 aspect is 4608 x 3456 pixels, although if you're short of memory card space or just feel that you just don't need the full 16MP then there are also options to record at 8MP and 4MP. Alternative aspect and resolution options include 3:2 up to a maximum 14MP, and 16:9 up to a maximum of 12MP. In addition to Fine and Normal JPEG quality settings the HS30 can also be set to record Raw image files in Fuji's proprietary .RAF format, or even simultaneous Raw and JPEG. Unfortunately though, the option to shoot Raw lies somewhat buried within the main in-camera menu, so if you regularly switch between JPEG and Raw you may well want to assign this to the Fn button.
Of course, the biggest single selling point of any superzoom camera is the convenience of having such a wide focal range to hand in a single lens, and in this respect the HS30's 30x optical zoom is up there with the best of them. Offering the 35mm focal range equivalent of 24-720mm the HS30 is bettered only by Nikon's 42x P510 and Canon's 35x SX40.
Unlike these two models, and indeed just about every other superzoom on the market, the HS30's zoom is controlled manually by rotating the lens barrel, just as you would with a regular DSLR. This gives the HS30 a big advantage over its competitors, simply because it's much quicker and far more intuitive to operate than the fiddly, spring-loaded power-zoom controls employed by its rivals. In addition, it's also much easier to achieve precise framing of your subject with a manual zoom ring as powered-zooms tend to move in incremental steps, meaning you often need to lightly feather the zoom control back and forth (and sometimes even physically move) to frame your shot exactly as you want it.
The lens itself is a Fuji-made Fujinon optic that offers a maximum aperture of f/2.8 at 24mm, rising progressively to f/5.6 at around 350mm and beyond. The lens incorporates 15 elements in 11 groups and includes three aspherical one ED lenses to minimise purple fringing on high-contrast borders. In addition, all of the elements have been treated with Super EBC (Electron Beam Coating) in an effort to further reduce image flare and ghosting.
Given its telephoto reach it's reassuring to know that the HS30 offers built-in sensor-shift image stabilization that can be set to counter both handshake and also more general motion (for example when shooting from moving vehicle). Furthermore, if 720mm doesn't provide quite enough telephoto reach for you then the HS30 also offers 1.4x and 2x 'intelligent' digital zoom options that essentially take a crop from the central area of the sensor and enlarge it. While the 1.4x digital zoom produces generally acceptable results, the 2x option is much more hit and miss with resolution issues and processing artifacts fairly evident even when the results are viewed at smaller sizes.
Used in the regular focus mode, minimum focus distance at 24mm is 45cm, rising to about 2m at 720mm. That said, the HS30 also offers some excellent Macro capabilities with regular Macro mode taking minimum focus distance down to 4cm when the lens is set to 24mm. Even more impressive is the Super Macro setting, which slashes minimum focus distance to just 1cm – again with the lens set to 24mm. Macro results are very good indeed and even outshine the camera's telephoto capabilities. If you're a particular fan of shooting small things up close then the HS30 comes highly recommended.
Shooting modes extend to the regular Program, Aperture-priority, Shutter-priority and Manual (PASM) quartet found on DSLRs. These are complimented by the three EXR specific modes – Resolution Priority, High ISO & Low Noise, and D-Range Priority. Of course, if you're not sure which EXR mode you should be using then there's also an Automatic EXR setting that lets the camera decide on your behalf.
Complimenting the EXR modes are four 'Advanced' exposure modes: Pro-Focus and Pro Low-Light both take and then blend multiple exposures to achieve their results and are further complimented by a Multiple-Exposure mode and a newly introduced 3D mode for which you'll need a 3D compatible viewer. Rounding things off are a fully Automatic setting, 17 individually selectable Scene modes, a one-touch Panorama mode and, last but not least, a Custom setting.
Movie modes include the facility to record 1080 Full HD movies at 30fps, backed up by 720 HD at 30fps and VGA quality movies also at 30fps. Sound is recorded in stereo, but there's no microphone input. In addition to regular movies the HS30 also offers a range of high-speed recording options including 640 x 480 at 80fps and 320 x 240 at 160fps. All of these high-speed options play back in slow motion.

Abram N. Kerner
Abram N. Kerner, CCNY 1912, regularly attended the annual New York Founders Banquets and other events in the city. Personable and voluble, he enjoyed repartee with fellow fraters and an invitation to a New York alumni club lunch meeting was never ignored. When Founder Ira Lind died in January 1968, Abe Kerner wrote a tribute to Fra Lind in The Octagonian. In it he referred to the three survivors, and wrote, "Who will be next?….those of us remaining are all living on borrowed time…" Four months later he passed away, only a few days after he had regaled fratres at an alumni luncheon with evidence of his still brilliant wit and reminiscences of the Fraternity's early days.
Born in 1888, Fra Kerner came to the United States with his family from his native Austria in 1900 and entered City College in 1908 to study chemistry. Following graduation he became a chemist with the Bureau of Standards in Washington. He later switched his field briefly to accounting but soon decided chemistry was his first love. In 1927 he began teaching chemistry at Stuyvesant High School and there he remained. In 1958 he won the American Chemical Society's Nichols Foundation Award for "outstanding contribution to chemistry through inspirational teaching." He had become something of a legend. Students loved him. One of them wrote this about him: "In this wonderful school called Stuyvesant, we have a chemistry teacher who fills the room with laughter….he makes jokes out of things and things out of jokes. With this asset in his possession, he turns our minds toward the study of chemistry."
When he retired, The Octagonian said of Fra Kerner, "Many of his former students who have distinguished themselves in the field of chemistry credit him with stimulating their interest in chemistry." The truth of that statement was reiterated recently, a half century later. Amazingly, a former Kerner student has come forward, only months ago, saying Kerner was a most important influence in his life. He has endowed at Stuyvesant High School a permanent annual Abram Kerner Award for excellence. More honor to his name forty years after his death.

I soap and pray: How doing the dishes can inspire prayer
Wash your own dishes and see the spiritual insights that bubble up.
Opportunities for spiritual growth—even contemplation—can occur almost anywhere, at any time. St. Ignatius of Loyola speaks about finding God in all things. The 17th-century spiritual writer Brother Lawrence found the "presence of God" even as he ordered provisions for his monastery. I was surprised to find such an opportunity in the simple task of washing dishes. For me, doing the nightly dishes, like praying the liturgy of the hours or spiritual reading, has become—in Ignatius' words—a spiritual exercise, a spiritual practice.
During the 22 years we've lived in our current home, we have thought of buying a dishwasher but never have. Ever since our three daughters left home and married, I have been the chief dishwasher for the nightly dinner dishes. Of course, there are exceptions. At holidays, the girls and their husbands will offer to help. When I am out or have to leave for a meeting after dinner, my wife will gladly wash and dry the evening dishes. She also generally manages the breakfast and the lunch dishes, even when we are both at home.
But washing dinner dishes has been my task, it seems, for more years than I can count. And with every night, with every dish, I'm inclined to say that it has become more of an opportunity for spiritual growth.
I didn't think that way at first. Things like impatience, haste, and other negative dispositions kept me from recognizing the opportunity. And once, a long while ago, I learned a lesson: impatience, selfishness, a dish towel tossed—then broken glass.
I've found the key is rhythm and a sense of purpose, if not fun. First I clear the table, stacking plates with silverware on top. The pots come last, along with other dirty or unwieldy things. With leftovers away and dishes piled, I fill the sink with hot and soapy water, letting steam and bubbles rise.
I have my favorite cleaning "tools": a handled sponge, a brush, a teflon scraper, and a lowly cotton cloth. The rhythm of my washing leads me to a place of peace; a sense of labor fitted to an order that I'd call the "ordinary sublime." As each dish, utensil, pot, or Tupperware is cleaned and placed to dry, I lapse into a state of peace and clean reflectiveness.
Like Martha's in the gospel, mine is "lesser" work, but still I have the sense that I am praying, praising, as I work. As Martha must have heard, above the clatter of her bowls and plates, the words of Jesus speaking to his friends and Mary at the table—now cleared of food and dishes—so I listen for a word of insight in my work. And it is seldom that it does not come.
As plates come clean and silverware reflects the light, I glimpse a sense of order, almost blessedness in gleaming dishware. To hold a hand-tossed pot with care, to wipe each bowl or plate, is like a rosary bead or mantra in Tibetan prayer-bead prayers. On Sunday evening I may still be humming a liturgical song from the morning's Mass. On other evenings I venture to say that sometimes "psalms and spiritual songs" (in Paul's words) come to mind and tongue.
My hands, immersed in soapy water—clean despite the swirling particles and remnants of the meals our family has shared—feel wholesome, honest, supple to the task. I sometimes feel a loss when all the dishes, stacked and dripping, shine within the drainer.
Brother Lawrence wrote of how he practiced the "presence of God." He spoke of being "united with God during ordinary activities" (The Practice of the Presence of God, Third Conversation). Dorothy Day referred to the "flavor of ordinariness" she found in him and in his writings. And as poet Denise Levertov addresses him in her poem, "Conversion of Brother Lawrence," saying: "your way was not to exalt nor avoid / the Adamic legacy, you simply made it irrelevant."
About the "presence of God," Levertov says, "Where it shone, / there life was, and abundantly; it touched / your dullest task, and the task was easy."
Brother Lawrence's attitude was joyful and absorbed. Certainly, in my experience, something like that has touched that "dullest task" of washing dishes and, as a result, "the task was easy."
Even if it is only breakfast or midday dishes that you do by hand, consider it an occasion, an opportunity. You need not pray a psalm—in any ordinary sense—in order to make Martha's duty an occasion for a moment's thoughtful dwelling. Recall the passage from the Gospel of Luke, "The kingdom is within you" (Luke 17:21).
That's how it feels, sometimes, when I am doing dishes.

I have bought a used Mac Pro which has been upgraded from 4.1 to 5.1. I guess it's the logic board that has been replaced, because the original processor and memory is still installed in the machine. But would it bee possible to install RAM modules intended for Mac Pro 5.1 in my machine?
Any advice would be much appreciated.

text: The barricades The production designer Eve Stewart's team created the enormous barricades built by Paris street protesters for the story's final act. 'Tom Hooper loves things to be completely real,' she says. 'So we spent a month scouring the UK for cheap period furniture – wooden tables, chairs, cupboards, pews. Finally I found a man in Wales who was selling off his salvage yard. And we bought the lot.' The barricades were filmed in April near the Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich, where Stewart had only three days to assemble them because it was an Olympics venue. Separate sections were built on flatbed trucks 'like giant carnival floats'. They were then driven to Greenwich, parked together, and joined up like a Meccano set. At top left Cameron Mackintosh and the composers of the original songs, Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg, can be seen, dressed as extras, representing the middle classes joining the protesters.Picture: Laurie Sparham

T-Mobile G1
Operating System 1, Hardware 0
That said, Android is still missing a few tricks, most obviously the lack of a virtual keyboard or keypad. Entering text means tipping the G1 over and opening up the keyboard. Not a big issue for long emails, but a pain if you just want to reply to an SMS with a simple 'OK'. For some reason, the inevitable accelerometer refused to automatically swap JPEG images from portrait to landscape, forcing us to open a menu and flip them manually.
The G1 supports MP3, AAC, WMA and Ogg audio files. Playing video will depend on some bright spark writing a video player – two have already appeared in the Android Market Place, but neither is really up to much. But there's nothing pre-installed.
The slightly raised buttons are the right size for fast text entry
The Market Place is the beauty of Android. At some point, a bright spark will write the Android equivalent of VLC, at which point the G1 will instantly become a truly excellent media player. After all, the key part of the equation - a nice hi-res screen – is already in place. Loading content onto the G1 is straightforward using USB mass storage or MTP, though you have to live without any sort of DRM support.
The G1's ability to display Google hosted information and applications – calenders, documents, contacts, spreadsheets, maps and so on – is unsurprisingly good. If you run your life off the Google Cloud then the G1 is a self-recommending purchase. As soon as we typed in our gmail account, all our stuff was just there: documents, contacts... the whole enchilada.
And the ability to show Google content is really just an aspect of the G1's excellent web browsing capabilities. Page scaling is fast and faultless, while the zoom in/out feature – accomplished using a transparent touchpad at the bottom of the screen – may be different from the iPhone's pinch-and-pull, but it's no less effective. If we had to find fault, it would be that to go back a page you have to tap the menu button, then tap More... in the contextual menu to see the Back command. It should really be one of the commands in the contextual menu.

The words "extreme" and "unicycle" should never be uttered in the same breath—unless you are referring to British mountaineer Steve Colligan. Starting next week he will attempt to traverse a 965km stretch of the Himalayas from Lhasa in Tibet to Kathmandu in Nepal, via Everest base camp riding on a mountain unicycle.
At 47 years old, Colligan has decided to attempt the record-breaking feat in order to raise money for a school in Nepal (and undoubtedly to become the greatest unicyclist of all-time). He plans on achieving this dangerous feat with his trusty distance unicycle, fitted with an off-road tire. No word on whether he will sport a wig, parachute pants and a clown nose during the attempt. You laugh, but it could help keep him warm up there. [Metro]

Each player tries to be Caesar and then works to prove he is indeed Caesar by collecting fame points. The challenge is to intelligently allocate your eight rolled dice among the five buildings to acquire the fame you need to win the game. Clever Caesar would use these resources to conquer new provinces and assign suitable patricians to them, adding to his already enormous fame. Can you do the same? You will also need to show diplomacy in the senate and maybe visit the temple for some luck from Fortuna to win.
Although dice-rolling is luck-based, the options offered here go well beyond luck. You cannot control (well, sometimes you can, actually) the dice you get, but clever allocation of "bad" dice rolls can yield good results. When the dice allocation is done, the buildings are scored and another set begins.
At game end, the player with the most fame points.

Denver Fashion Truck offers new and vintage merchandise
I wish The Denver Fashion Truck was the vehicle I got to roll around town in.
In fact, I wouldn't mind actually living inside the mobile boutique. It's practically a well-edited, beautifully merchandised studio apartment filled with vintage books, albums, kitchenware, locally designed jewelry, clothing and knickknacks, and even a fitting room. Who needs a shower and bathtub when you've got a fitting room?
This past Sunday, The Highlands' Bug Theater was host to The Denver Fashion Truck launch party. The truck, wrapped in a black, white and mint green plaid print parked outside The Bug all afternoon, while inside the theater, many of the truck's vendors set up shop to showcase the jewelry, accessories or clothing that the truck will carry.
I decided to save my trip inside the cute-as-a-button truck for last, and cruised around the theater first. With "Zoolander" playing in the background, local jewelry, accessory, clothing and art designers all set up inside The Bug, giving shoppers a bigger bite of what they might taste inside The Denver Fashion Truck, which only carries a few items at a time from any one designer.
Three of the Fashion Truck's featured designers seemed to really take the cake: the first was Katie Wells of Giddyup!, who showed western dresses for women and western shirts for little boys and men, all made up of super creative fabric combinations (think old bed sheets and bandannas).
The next was Girl With The Curl jewelry, whose chunky and distinctive pieces are mainly created out of items found in buttons jars, and estate or garage sales. The third winner was Pretty Bride Shop, whose table contained nontraditional birdcages, colorful feather clips and giant knitted bows atop headbands, made for the more alternative Colorado bride.
After my lap around The Bug – and a bracelet and necklace I needed to have, from Girl With The Curl – I went back outside, and stood in front of the truck. It was time. I needed to go in.
From the outside, the truck looks compact, and, well, small. I hate feeling crowded or cramped when I'm shopping, and I had never been inside a truck full of merchandise before. I've been inside a U-Haul truck, to move. I've eaten delicious, gourmet meals out of trucks. I've been served tasty and floppy pizza slices from the inside of a truck. Why shouldn't I try shopping inside a truck?
Before I know it, I'm in. And I can't get enough of it.
I could not believe the truck's well-thought-out use of space. Or how clean and adorable all of the merchandise had been set up, and how much it looked just like a new boutique that I'd want to take my out-of-town friends to visit. But the most shocking, was how clearly edited all the items and stock levels were. At no point did I feel sardined inside, even when five or six others came aboard. And for some reason, the fact that the boutique was on wheels — and in a truck no less — made the experience all the more charming.
The left side of the truck is set with household, living room and kitchen items, like vintage tumblers, beer cans, trays, old games, perfume bottles and jars, while the right side of the truck hosts clothing — and lots of it — like locally made shirts and dresses. All through the buggy, hanging on hooks and posted up on the walls are accessories like necklaces, headbands, magnets and pins.
I couldn't decide whether I wanted to just move into the the truck itself and start living there, or just redecorate my studio apartment to look like the inside of a vehicle.
I asked a few of the folks around what they thought of the shop on wheels, and turns out, I wasn't the only one who loved the concept. "I love it. It's unique. It has a variety of things. A little chunk of everything," said Cynthia Lazardo, 20.
Lazardo's friend Jazmin Agiar, 28, agreed. "I really like this idea. It's hard to find things like this here in Denver. I'm from L.A., so this is normal to me. I like the vintage, classic American style of it."
I even found a 65-year-old man, artist Phil Bender, who enjoyed the shopping experience just as much. "I almost bought something. A deck of cards. I like the vintage stuff. Why not inside a truck. There's food trucks. Mobile dentists. Mobile dog groomers. The world is changing."

Today's FA Cup clash between Tottenham Hotspur and Bolton Wanderers was suspended after Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba collapsed on the pitch and was given CPR in the first half of the match.
The London Guardian reported Muamba was not breathing as he was taken off the pitch in a stretcher while Metro says the 22-year-old is "fighting for his life." The resuscitation attempts lasted ten minutes onfield as medics reportedly used a portable defibrillator. Sky Sports described the scene as "shocking silence."
Update (4:10 p.m.): Sky News is reporting that Muamba's breathing has been restored and he is currently in stable condition at (a) hospital.

Now Washburn's stock is as high as it's ever been, and the Yankees would have to give up a top prospect or two to have a chance at Washburn. Washburn has pitched to an 8-6 record and 2.71 ERA and is said to be a favorite of pitching coach Rick Adair. Right now, he may become a favorite of many of the teams looking for pitching, such as the White Sox, Twins, Dodgers and Phillies.

deTerra and the Environment
We might seem a little light-hearted about many things, but when it comes to environment (and the quality of our products, but that's another story) we couldn't be more serious. Solid wood is a beautiful, natural material and deserves to be enjoyed by us all - but only in a responsible manner. A passionate commitment to promoting sustainability is at the centre of the deTerra code and, to honour this, we've worked closely with our suppliers to implement rigid and thorough environmental protocols.
The Facts: deTerra Wood
- The majority of European timber that we use to manufacture our products (such as oak) is purchased from FSC certified, sustainable sources.
- The American timber that we use in our products is PEFC certified and is purchased from one of the largest mills in the US.
- Our African timber is purchased legally from dedicated agents that are able to supply chain of custody.
- All timbers purchased by us - no matter what the source - are logged from sustainable forests with well-established replanting programmes.
- We visit all suppliers before purchasing any products and regularly thereafter to ensure the correct procedures are being followed and verify quality.
- Unlike the majority of online retailers we sell our own range of products that are imported directly, rather than selling items we don't physically stock or source ourselves. That way our customers can really trust in what we say and freely enjoy our lovely jubbly deTerra collections.
The Facts: deTerra detests illegal harvesting!
It's a strong word but we loathe improper or illegal harvesting. African timbers are notoriously hard to monitor but we work hard to maintain proper environmental practice and only purchase timbers from legal sources. And we don't just take their word for it. We demand evidence and a transparent chain of custody. We never purchase from a supplier without visiting and performing thorough checks in person, and pop back frequently to make sure all is absolutely, positively, 100% tickety-boo.
The Facts: Wastage and the deTerra Footprint
Like we said, sustainability is a top priority for us. Wastage is therefore our enemy - and we take our enemy seriously, seeking to annihilate it in all parts of the business. Here's a breakdown of what we do:
- No worktop wastage: our worktops are constructed from smaller individual solid wood sections (staves) which are finger jointed, edge glued or high-pressure bonded, depending on the size. This process allows us to make use of many sections of raw material which drastically reduces wastage.
- When we create offcuts (or if worktops become damaged in-house - very very unlikely, but it can happen!), any leftover wood is used to create samples, chopping boards or to fuel our biomass boiler (which is the sole source of heat in our warehouse).
- The majority of our in-house finishing products (Danish oil, wax, etc.) are natural.
- Recycle, recycle, recycle! We use reusable packaging whenever we can, and have a self-enclosed extraction system in the warehouse (capturing and recycling all emissions). When it comes to printing or promotions, we only use FSC certified paper or recycled cardboard. We also recycle the majority of business waste; in fact we try to be paperless wherever possible (email invoices and confirmations etc).
- When planning the routes for our delivery fleet we use sophisticated route optimisation software to keep our carbon footprint to an absolute minimum.
deTerra are green-fingered and proud of it. We hope the information on this page has been useful but if you'd like to know anything else regarding our eco-friendly policies, don't hesitate to let us know.

I am developing a note application, which is based on MySQL, Java, Hibernate and SWING and some other components.
Do to amount of libraries and data the application load, the users start up time (from the press icon to seeing the app) is to long about 30 seconds - 1 minut.
I would like to show the user a processbar or something similar to that, to give the user and impression that the application is actually doing something.
So is a splashscreen as an component a good idea or should I choose something else? if yes any idea to which component?
- PS. The reason for the long data load time is because the users load 30000+ notes which include videos and other media files.

Capstone/Thesis Projects
If a student's discipline already demands a thesis or capstone project, he or she will not be required to complete another for the Honors Program. He or she will, however, be required to submit an Honors Thesis Proposal by the appropriate deadline, to submit an electronic copy of the finished thesis to Honors Program Director, and to give a formal presentation of the thesis/capstone at one of several possible venues including:
- State, regional or national Honors Conference
- Undergraduate conference in the student's field
- Saint Mary's Spring Symposium
- Departmental or School Thesis Showcase
Thesis or capstone projects must be approved by the Honors Program Director to fulfill graduation requirements for the Honors Program.
To receive academic credit for a capstone/thesis a student must enroll in their department's capstone/thesis course. If a student is enrolled in a department that does not require a capstone/thesis the student may a) enroll in an Honors Independent Study (198 and 199 in the catalog) or b) enroll in a related department's thesis course. Students are not required to receive academic credit for their thesis.
- Capstone/Thesis Proposal Template (doc)
- Capstone/Thesis Submission Form
- Capstone/Thesis Proposal Rubric
Keys to Success
Start Early
Begin to brainstorm possible thesis projects no later than the spring of your junior year and utilize thesis workshops to solidify and focus your ideas.
Cultivate relationships with mentors and advisors:
In the fall and spring of junior year, you should begin to seek a primary and a secondary reader for your thesis. Your primary reader will also be your mentor and should be a full-time faculty member versed in the discipline you wish to pursue, willing and able to advise you in the planning and proposal stages, as well as the in execution and documentation of the project. The secondary reader, though perhaps actively advising you, will be responsible only for assessing the finished product. If your capstone project integrates more than one area academic interest, the second reader might be chosen for his/her expertise in this other area.
If you are pursuing a Social Justice Emphasis (SJE), you must begin identifying, contacting, and forming relationships with the constituency with whom you will be working by the spring of your junior year. Utilize resources on campus (CILSA, Mission and Ministry, the Career Center etc.) to help you contact willing organizations.
Craft a Detailed Proposal
Like your Honors Contract Proposals, your Thesis Proposal must articulate a clear and focused objective, a series of assessable outcomes, and a well-considered, detailed methodology appropriate to the discipline. Don't be afraid to integrate an allied discipline (math with history for example) when constructing your proposal. Also feel free to integrate internship, research, work experience as well as coursework into your project, and to use your contract courses to explore possible areas of interest.
Creative Thesis Projects
All creative thesis/capstone projects (e.g., novels, choreographed shows, play productions, fine art exhibitions) must also meet the academic demands of a traditional thesis. Therefore, the same template may be used for creative thesis/capstone projects.
Get Feedback Throughout
Use your mentors as sounding boards for your ideas, frustrations and inspirations. Share your experiences with your fellow honors students and you are always welcome to speak with the Honors Program director about any concerns you have. Don't labor in a void!

By Dan Walters
It's now called the University of Phoenix. Originally, it was an off-campus arm of California's Saint Mary's College — until it ran into accreditation problems 35 years ago.
At one point, California's regional accreditation organization, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, placed Saint Mary's on probation and singled out the program's founder, John Sperling, for criticism.
Sperling reacted by moving the operation to Phoenix and, under its new name, expanded it into a nationwide, for-profit purveyor of college-level instruction, becoming a billionaire in the process.
California became a major market for Phoenix's offerings, but during the 1980s, the company also struggled for legitimacy because it was not accredited by the association.
The University of Phoenix and its parent corporation, Apollo Group Inc., made periodic efforts to exempt it from this accreditation with legislation to recognize its accreditation by the Chicago-based North-Central Association of Colleges and Schools, which oversees Arizona.
Even though the California Legislature recast oversight of private schools on several occasions, it did not grant Apollo an exemption, subjecting it to regulation by the state's Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education.
The University of Phoenix became a big part of an umbrella lobbying organization called the Accredited Out-of-State Colleges and Universities in California, which pushed hard for the exemption.
Meanwhile, Sperling and his son Peter became major donors to political campaign treasuries in the state — mostly to Democrats.
Finally, in 2003, John Burton, then the president pro tem of the state Senate, quietly slipped a bill through the Legislature that gave Apollo and other out-of-state colleges the right to tell prospective California students that they were fully accredited.
Since then, the Legislature has continued to kick around regulation of private schools in response to complaints that many reap huge fees from students who take out federally backed loans, but have low graduation and job-placement rates.
Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed two regulation bills that he said were inadequate.
And what of the University of Phoenix?
Apollo continues to operate, but it has lost two-thirds of its stock market value in the last year. It revealed this month that the agency whose recognition it had sought in California, now called the Higher Learning Commission, has told it to expect accreditation sanctions of some kind.
That's no small thing, since 80 percent of its income comes from federal student loans. What goes around comes around, as they say in politics.

"Brooklyn Castle" (PBS, Monday). "I think that this is a good thing for kids to be exposed to," coach Elizabeth Vicary says in Katie Dellamaggiore's 2012 film about a fearsome and lovable inner-city middle-school chess team, "the idea that truth isn't quite so simple as right and wrong and they're studying on a level where the answers aren't really clear to anybody -- or unclear to me, and I'm very good at it." Getting a broadcast premiere this week as part of the PBS documentary series "P.O.V.," "Brooklyn Castle" is funny and moving and full of vivid characters; a pitch for the importance of after-school programs; and, though a portrait primarily of the young players, a reminder that the aphorism that ends in "Those who can't do, teach" is beans.
The chess-thletes of Intermediate School 318 are some of the best in the country: "Your opponents are exhausted, they're tired," a coach tells them at one meet. "When they see they have to play someone from 318, they don't even want to show up." There are plenty of triumphant moments here, not only in the meets to which the team travels but also in the context of academic tests and school elections; yet the film is also about learning how to lose, and to move on from losing to play again. The students are serious about the game, with an added adolescent, ear-budded sleepiness that contrasts with the speed of their play. Many are first-generation Americans, with parents working hard to give them a break; the film also takes us into their homes and reminds us that the variety of life is infinite, even around the poverty line, so often painted in a few sweeping strokes with a few dull colors.

The kids include Rochelle, 13, who has a shot at becoming the first female African American chess master; Justus, an 11-year-old prodigy, traveling from the Bronx to Brooklyn in order to train at I.S. 318; Patrick, 11, using it as a way to handle ADHD (as "a fun way to build up your concentration"); Alexis, 12, quiet, feeling the weight of his future; and Pobo, 12, a big personality, team spirit and self-appointed "rock": "By me encouraging my teammates," he says, "I become a better human being."
"Masterpiece: The Paradise" (PBS, Sunday). Based on the 1883 Emile Zola novel "Au Bonheur des Dames," inspired by the Paris department store Le Bon Marche, this pleasingly soapy BBC series transfers the action (with some significant changes) to the north of England. As a sort of upstairs-downstairs story of the retail trade, it's a cousin to the recent "Mr. Selfridge" (which it preceded onto the air), without the Barnum antics or the weight of historical characters to account for.
Emun Elliott plays John Moray, a self-made man of the future who has turned an old block of Victorian shops into a single gleaming white immensity of fancy goods. (Zola, and "The Paradise," make the point that this is not an unalloyed good -- the old stores are withering in its shadow. Substitute Target or Amazon for the Paradise, and you have yourself a fitfully topical drama.) He is also, potentially, the metaphorical Archie to Elaine Cassidy's wealthy, dark-haired Veronica and Joanna Vanderham's blond Betty, a spunky country-bred shop girl. The whole retail enterprise here reeks with sex and seduction, if in a mostly genteel, 19th century way. "Isn't the whole point of temptation to succumb," Moray asks a customer in a crushed-velvet voice. "You make me love you," Cassidy's character tells him, "but you taunt me with it. I can't breathe. Please help me. Loosen my dress, please." Class is a subject here, as it must be in British period drama, but there is none of the affection or patience for the bumbling old rich that affects a show like "Downton Abbey." Initiative is all in the new world: Vanderham's shop girl looks upon her boss and says, "I don't want to marry Moray, I want to be him."

"Muhammad Ali's Greatest Fight" (HBO, Saturday). Stephen Frears directs this behind-the-bench legal drama about Muhammad Ali's 1971 Supreme Court appeal of the 1967 ruling that denied him conscientious objector status and led to his being stripped of the heavyweight crown and to a state-by-state revocation of his boxing license. Easily imitated but fundamentally inimitable -- no offense, Will Smith -- Ali is seen here only through film clips, which provide a counterpart to the main action, which takes place all within the confines of the court. (These clips have their own narrative movement, taking the fighter from youthful braggadocio to seasoned thoughtfulness.) It's an interesting chapter in American jurisprudence and politics, but perhaps the greatest value of Frears' film is that it employs a Supreme Court worth of fine older actors -- there hasn't been a picture with such aged star power since "Cocoon" (or "Cocoon: The Return," I suppose). Frank Langella, as an imperious Chief Justice Warren Burger, a Nixon appointee portrayed as too much in his pocket, and Christopher Plummer as Justice John Harlan II, the voice of an independent judiciary, are the discoursing colleagues at the top of the cast list, with Fritz Weaver, Harris Yulin, Ed Begley Jr., Danny Glover and director Barry Levinson among the other justices.
The film has been criticized for being somewhat undercooked dramatically, and the use of the clerk played by Benjamin Walker is certainly feels gratuitous when it's not actually annoying. (Although Harlan's clerk did in fact provide materials that helped change his mind, and there is a nice counterpoising of the older justices and the younger clerks, gamboling in the halls and on the basketball court.) But given that docudramas tend to be dramatically overcooked in order to externalize themes and passions, I'm not sure that's wholly a bad thing. Indeed, it's when voices are raised the loudest that a scene seems the least likely. Recommended for the players, for historical interests and for the glimpses of Ali himself, a great man of his time, and still.
"Enter Laughing" (TCM, Wednesday/Thursday). Every month when the Turner Classic Movies program guide comes around, I look for one thing, and it's this otherwise impossible-to-see 1967 comedy, directed by Carl Reiner and written by Reiner and Joseph Stein, from Stein's play, itself based on Reiner's autobiographical novel of late-Depression-era New York. I have praised it as hilarious to my much better half for many years; now I will see whether that is merely a fond folly of my youth. (The few available clips around suggest it is not.)
Reni Santoni plays the director's rechristened younger self; entranced by movies and determined to act, he joins a pay-to-act fleabag theater company run by a grand and dipsomaniacal Jose Ferrer (playing a kind of broken-down version of his own legend). A brilliant Elaine May is Ferrer's daughter, the troupe's leading lady. Much goes wrong, you may have already devised. The estimable supporting cast includes Janet Margolin, Richard Deacon, Michael J. Pollard, Don Rickles and Shelley Winters. Jack Gilford plays Reiner's boss, whose line (possibly not perfectly remembered), "It's up to you if you want to do the hot-cha-cha" is something I've said often over the years, to myriad purposes; the line knows when it's needed. (Young Rob Reiner is here too, in a small role.) The film airs on the West Coast at 1 a.m. Thursday, which Turner prefers to describe as Wednesday night.

Tecopa Hot Springs
Originally Tecopa Hot Springs (called Yaga then) was the largest Native settlement in the region because of its natural hot springs, wildlife and wetlands, and proximity to the trading routes that became known as the Old Spanish Trail. A series of hard-rock mining camps in the late 1800s were named Tecopa after a Paiute leader who was famous for negotiating peace during those rough and tumble days. In 1908, the Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad built the Tecopa station, running through the spectacular Amargosa Canyon. Today's traveler can take advantage of pristine desert landscapes, vivid sunsets, and Tecopa Hot Springs' healing mineral waters at three different resorts with private baths and campgrounds with full hook-up RV spaces, the Poo-Ha-Bah Native Healing Center, or the Inyo County campground, with separate bath houses for men and women. The area blossoms with winter travelers during temperate months. Other amenities include massage services, Pastels Bistro, the Tecopa Basin Artist Gallery (both at the historic Tecopa Hot Springs Resort), an international hostel, post office, elementary school, and a variety of small shops.
In spring and fall, vast flocks of migratory birds take advantage of the marshes and surrounding canyons, particularly Grimshaw Lake, a great birding locale and protected wetland. Spring wildflower viewing, photography, bicycling, gliding, and hiking in the Kingston, Tecopa, Ibex and Sheepshead mountains are also excellent activities

Before you go scrambling to download this $US6 LetterMPress iPad app, I must warn you: it's not yet available. The developer is seeking money on Kickstarter to build a letterpress studio, so users' creations can be printed out and sent their way.
It's already received over $US10,000 of the $US15,000 goal, but they still need to buy in actual letterpress type, then scan in and build the app. It's an app I'd love to see made, if only because I've always wanted a letterpress printer (and the room to store one), but I'd settle on creating my visual typedreams digitally.
Supposedly once the app is released, users will be able to email their designs, print the, or send them off to the LetterMPress studio to be printed on their choice of paper stock, and then sent on over. [Kickstarter via TechCrunch]


text: It may have taken Cornershop a few years to perfect their innovative hybrid of Indian music, British indie rock, and contemporary dance, but with the release of a third full-length album, When I Was Born for the 7th Time, the group's multicultural fusions made it an instant critics' darling. Taking their name from a common stereotype of Indians in England -- that they all own small, corner grocery shops -- Cornershop were formed by singer/songwriter, guitarist, and dholki player Tjinder Singh and guitarist, keyboardist, and tamboura player Ben Ayres after the 1991 breakup of a previous group, General Havoc. The remainder of their initial lineup featured Singh's brother Avtar on guitar and former Dandelion Adventure drummer David Chambers. Following their first gig in Harlow, they signed with the small indie label WIIIJA. Cornershop issued two EPs over the course of 1993 (In the Days of Ford Cortina and Lock Stock & Double-Barrel, later collected as Elvis Sex-Change), but attracted more attention for their strong anti-racist politics -- specifically, their public denunciation of indie icon Morrissey. In response to Morrissey's flirtation with skinhead imagery, the group blasted him in the press and took to burning pictures of him in concerts, at press conferences, and even outside the offices of his record label. The backlash in the British music media suggested that Cornershop were nothing but publicity hounds, pointing to the amateurish, messy qualities of the band's music as evidence (indeed, the group members even took a certain pride in their lack of technical know-how during their early days, although they would later become much more accomplished). Fairly or not, Cornershop were, for the most part, dismissed as incompetent. Through all the controversy, the group kept honing its sound, adding sitarist Anthony Saffery (who also played keyboards and harmonium) and guitarist Wallis Healey for its 1994 debut album, Hold on It Hurts. Chambers and Avtar Singh both left the group in 1995 and the new, reshuffled lineup brought on drummer Nick Simms and percussionist Pete Hall. The same year, David Byrne's worldbeat-oriented Luaka Bop label signed Cornershop to a deal and released Woman's Gotta Have It, the group's first widely accessible album. Singh's playful humor and English/Punjabi lyrics spoke to the inclusiveness of the band's vision, and hypnotic tracks like "6am Jullandar Shere" attracted positive word of mouth from critics and luminaries like Brian Eno, helping land the group on the second stage of that year's Lollapalooza. Healey and Hall both left following the record's release, however, and percussionist Peter Bengry took the latter's place. The reception afforded Woman's Gotta Have It set the stage for the breakthrough of When I Was Born for the 7th Time. Released to hugely positive reviews in 1997, the album mixed pop songs with hypnotic, hip-hop-flavored instrumentals and featured guest spots from Allen Ginsberg and Tarnation's Paula Frazer, plus production contributions from Dan the Automator. The catchy single "Brimful of Asha," a tribute to the prolific Indian film singer Asha Bhosle, became a genuine hit in the U.K. after a remix by Norman Cook (aka Fatboy Slim) and actually hit number one on some charts in early 1998 -- a far cry from several years before. The success led to an opening slot on Oasis' American tour, and Spin magazine named When I Was Born for the 7th Time its Album of the Year. In the wake of this success, Singh and Ayres put the group on temporary hiatus and returned to their more dance-oriented side project, Clinton, which had released a couple of singles in 1995-1996. The debut Clinton full-length, Disco and the Halfway to Discontent, was released in the U.K. in 1999 and picked up for American distribution by Astralwerks the following year. The long silence from Cornershop gave rise to rumors that Singh had broken up the band, but he and Ayres finally returned (with Bengry, Saffery, and Simms in tow) in early 2002 with Handcream for a Generation. After Handcream for a Generation, Cornershop entered a quiet period, surfacing briefly in 2006 with a single called "Wop the Groove," but their real comeback came three years later when they released Judy Sucks a Lemon for Breakfast, their first album in seven years. It was also their first album to be released by their new label Ample Play, which the band would continue to run for years, putting out their own music and lots of interesting neo-psych artists as well. The band quickly followed that with a collaboration with Punjabi singer Bubbley Kaur called Cornershop and the Double-O Groove Of, and their eighth record, Urban Turban, arrived in the summer of 2012. Running their well-regarded label seemed to take over the band's time until the release in 2015 of Hold on It's Easy, an easy listening meets big band reimagining of Hold on It Hurts, with music provided by the Elastic Big Band. ~ Steve Huey

Canucks end pointless road trip with 1-0 loss to Coyotes
Mike Santorelli injured, not likely to play Saturday against Calgary Flames

GLENDALE, Ariz. — It was a road trip only Clark Griswold could love. It certainly wasn't any fun for the Vancouver Canucks.
Three games. Three regulation losses. One goal. Eleven goals for the other guys.
The Canucks' three-game tour of the Pacific Division turned out to a pointless trip, which mercifully came to close Thursday night at Jobing.com Arena, where Vancouver dropped a 1-0 decision to the Phoenix Coyotes.
The Coyotes snapped a four-game losing streak. The Canucks have now lost three straight games in regulation for the first time all season. They have also dropped eight of their last nine games.
"It is a team that is having a hell of a time making an offensive play," said frustrated coach John Tortorella. "We don't make enough offensive plays and we just don't do our job on the penalty kill when we have a couple of opportunities to get the puck out. They score a goal there. It's a game of those little details. It's been tough sledding as far as developing offence."
Tortorella went with the same lineup that lost 9-1 in Anaheim on Wednesday night, choosing not to dress Utica call-up Kellan Lain. But he shuffled most of his lines.
The most notable change was moving Ryan Kesler to the wing and playing him with Daniel and Henrik Sedin.
Nothing seemed to work. And Vancouver's power play fired blanks, going 0-for-7 on the night and failing to cash in late in the third when it had a four-minute advantage.
Tortorella brushed off suggestions his team lacks confidence.
"This stuff about lack of confidence and this and that, we are grown men here," he said. "It's a big part of our business to make plays at key times, so I don't buy the confidence. We just simply have to get something done."
Right now, the Canucks aren't getting anything from their three big offensive guns, the Sedin twins and Kesler.
Kesler sat in a near-empty dressing room after the game and let out some of his frustration.

"It's getting old," Kesler said. "You know, we have to press and find a way to score and it starts with myself, Hank and Danny. Those are the guys that have to lead the way and we are not getting it done right now."
It was a most bizarre trip for the Canucks, with two 1-0 defeats sandwiching that Anaheim disaster on Wednesday night.
"Horrendous," was how Kesler described it. "It was awful. I'm pissed off right now. I need to be better, we need to be better as a group and to play like we did pisses you off."
The Canucks lost more than a game. Forward Mike Santorelli left midway through the third period and did not return after being hit by Martin Hanzal. He was seen leaving the building with his right arm in a sling.
Captain Henrik Sedin was believed to be nursing some sore ribs after a Hanzal cross check. Hanzal completed his hat trick late in the third with a high stick to the face of David Booth, for which he received a double-minor.
Tortorella would not comment on Santorelli's injury, but it seems unlikely he'll be able to play Saturday night against the Calgary Flames.
It's not like the Canucks aren't getting chances. Early in the second period on a Vancouver power play, Daniel Sedin missed a glorious opportunity. He had the puck below the right circle with Phoenix goalie Mike Smith out of position, but put his shot over the empty net.
"That play kind of summed up the Canucks' offence of late. When they do get chances, they don't convert them.
"We have to find a way to score some goals and it starts with me," Daniel said. "I had a great chance on the power play and missed the net. That would have kick-started our team. You can't miss those chances. That's frustrating, for sure."
The Canucks thought they had tied the game at 8:52 of the third when a rebound off a Daniel Sedin shot bounced off Henrik and into the net. But the goal was waved off as the officials ruled Henrik had directed the puck into the net with his glove. The play was reviewed but the call stood.
"Our top guys need to lead the way here," Tortorella said. "I believe they will, but it has to happen pretty quickly for us to get going. In a game like this, just to develop some offence we win the hockey game. We don't get it done."
A power-play goal by Antoine Vermette midway through the first period was the only goal the Phoenix Coyotes needed as the Canucks were shut out for the second time in their last three games. The Canucks finished their three-game trip with just one goal. Vermette's goal came after both Ryan Kesler and Dan Hamhuis had failed to clear the puck. The Canucks went 0-for-7 on the power play as they lost for the eighth time in their last nine games. Phoenix goalie Mike Smith stopped 29 shots to earn the shutout.
Daniel Sedin led the Canucks with five shots, but missed a glorious chance in the second period when he put a shot over an empty net. . .Defenceman Alex Edler led Canucks skaters with 24:15 of ice time. . .Phoenix defenceman Oliver Ekman-Larsson led both teams with 28:53. . .Canuck winger Tom Sestito has a healthy lead in the NHL's penalty minutes department. Sestito has been assessed 152 penalty minutes this season. Dallas forward Antoine Roussel is next at 109.
Another game, another new net-front presence on the Canucks' first-unit power play. Chris Higgins had the job Thursday night after defenceman Kevin Bieksa was tried there for a couple of games. The line of Mike Santorelli, David Booth and Dale Weise got some second-unit power play time. . .Jobing.com Arena features Arizona's first Tim Hortons outlet, which recently opened. . .Attendance was announced as 12,307 with plenty of B.C. snowbirds in the stands.
The Canucks were scheduled to charter home after Thursday night's game. They meet the Calgary Flames at Rogers Arena on Saturday night. The Canucks should have winger Alex Burrows back for that game, but the status of goalie Roberto Luongo remains uncertain. Coach John Tortorella would not discuss Luongo's status before Thursday night's game. Luongo has been skating with the team all week, but Joacim Eriksson backed up Eddie Lack again on Thursday.

I like this guy and wouldn't mind trading down a bit to get him and maybe an extra pick.If not, Straight up,would not be surprised to see him in Black and Gold. He reminds me of a younger Aaron Smith. He's got determination on poise to be one of the greatest of his era.INDIANAPOLIS Paul Posluszny can't stop laughing.
It is a nervous, respectful cackle but telling nonetheless as the Penn State linebacker engages with the media during the NFL scouting combine.
Posluszny nicknamed "Poz" has been reminded of that compliment again.
Jack Ham has said Posluszny is Penn State's greatest linebacker.
Live up to that, kid.
FIND MORE STORIES IN: NFL | Penn State | Nittany Lions | Pro football | Ham | Paul Posluszny
PHOTOS: Top draft prospects at linebacker
When it comes to linebacker lineage, Penn State is no Slippery Rock.
Like Posluszny, former Buffalo Bills Pro Bowler Shane Conlan was a two-time All-American for the Nittany Lions.
LaVar Arrington, drafted No. 2 overall by the Washington Redskins in 2000, won the Chuck Bednarik and Dick Butkus awards as college football's best defensive player and linebacker, respectively, while at Penn State. Posluszny won both awards in 2005 and took the Bednarik home in 2006, too.
Andre Collins, who played in the NFL for 10 years, was another All-American in State College, Pa. And before Posluszny came along, Greg Buttle, a longtime member of the New York Jets, had the school record for career tackles.
Then there's Ham, Penn State Class of '70. He went on to four Super Bowl championships with the Pittsburgh Steelers and wound up with a bust in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
It's no wonder they call it Linebacker U.
Greatest ever?
Ham's assessment has taken on a life of its own, following Posluszny to the draft process like his measurables (6-2, 238), sterling résumé and that X-ray from his once-injured right knee.
That it comes from such a credible source gives it long legs.
"When I heard it, I was in shock," Posluszny says. "When you think of Jack Ham, he's immortal. For him to make a comment like that I was just extremely honored."
The laugh comes when Posluszny is asked if he believes Ham is right.
"No, I don't," he says. "There's a long list of great guys from Penn State."
A few minutes later, away from the pack, Posluszny is given a vote of his own. "It's Jack Ham," he says. "He's the greatest linebacker ever from Penn State."
Keep in mind his "vote" is based on hearsay, reputation and history books.
Posluszny was born in 1984, about 14 years after Ham's final college game.
"Hey, he voted for me," Posluszny says. Then he laughs again.
Deep down, Posluszny, projected as a mid- to late first-rounder, knows hype and comparisons will not buy him much on the next level. When someone asks which NFL linebackers he resembles, the Poz knows better than to go there.
"I can't say, 'Yeah, I play like this guy,' because I haven't made it yet," he says. "In a couple of years, hopefully, I'll be able to say something, but it's too early to tell."
With book smarts that allowed him to graduate early with a degree in finance and a 3.57 grade-point average, Posluszny has common sense, too.
This doesn't mean he doesn't have his favorites. His eyes light up when New England Patriots linebackers Tedy Bruschi and Mike Vrabel are mentioned. When he studies pros, he pops in videotapes of middle linebackers Zach Thomas, Brian Urlacher and Ray Lewis.
Fitting, considering Posluszny made the switch to middle linebacker for his senior year and duplicated the All-America honors he earned while playing outside.
"Something I really appreciate is how they work in tandem with others," he says. "You can't talk about Urlacher unless you recognize how well he plays with Lance Briggs. Ray Lewis has Bart Scott next to him. That's a key, meshing with other players."
No doubt the move inside last season, with all of its extra traffic and blockers coming from more angles, helped Posluszny's stock. Although NFLDraftScout.com rates him as the top outside linebacker in the draft, versatility provides options, given the various schemes and situational packages used by NFL teams.
"Switching inside last season didn't hurt him," says Matt Millen, the Detroit Lions president and a 12-year NFL linebacker who was also schooled at Penn State. "It takes a knack for knowing how to move in there."
In Millen's eyes, that's the real beauty of Posluszny's game instincts all great linebackers need.
"The best thing he does is find the football," Millen says. "He's got great instincts. You are going to find guys who are faster, guys who are stronger and guys who will make flashier plays. But he's very consistent at a high level. He knows how to play the game."
Posluszny finished the 2006 season with 116 tackles, including 69 solo stops, and set the school mark with 372 career tackles. Perhaps more important, he used a strong senior year to convince himself and NFL teams his knee was sound after he suffered slightly torn ligaments while leaping over a blocker in the fourth quarter of Penn State's Orange Bowl victory against Florida State in January 2006.
Had Posluszny not suffered the setback, it's likely he would have entered last year's draft. Instead, he embarked on a rehabilitation process "long and boring," he says that ensured a rebound without needing surgery.
"It's two different worlds," he says, comparing his readiness for the NFL this year compared to the end of his junior year. "Last year if I would have come out I was a little young and light. It's a lot better that I'm here as a senior."

Home Composting
Compost at home
Cannock Chase Council, along with the rest of staffordshire, are part of a scheme that allows householders to buy subsidized compost bins. Compost bins can be bought for as little as £17.98 and water butt kits for £24.98. Have a look a the latest leaflet below or visit get composting
Why Compost at Home
Home composting is the most sustainable way to manage and dispose of garden waste and some food waste (uncooked vegetable peelings etc).
As a nation we produce around 30 million tonnes of rubbish each year and over half of this waste can be easily recycled. In fact, over one third of the contents of an average UK household bin can be home composted, not to mention all the garden waste that can be added to a compost bin. Yet many people still do not recognise how important and simple this is to do.
At first it may take up to six months before you start producing usable compost. But once you get going you will have a constant supply of compost made from your own garden and food waste.
