Just a castaway
An island lost at sea-oh
Another lonely day
With no one here but me-oh
More loneliness
Than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair-oh
Topics up for discussion:
Clinical and sub clinical depression, depressive mental states.
Depression as it compares to 'normal' experience; are current standards of mental health disasterously low?
The chemical MDMA, or 'ecstasy', primitive euphoric or penicillin for the soul?

If Wahlstrom meant that those improvements in death rates were among treated heart disease and stroke patients only, it would make more sense. However, as for Ford et al.'s claims that lifestyle changes saved lives population-wide, this is guaranteed bogus. It's not based on any of the study's own data, which they didn't have. It's based on importing odds ratios from other sources and extrapolating, while ignoring other data including the fact that death rates from heart disease have declined by the proportion among smokers as among non-smokers, and among women as among men, despite very different initial rates of smoking and subsequent quitting. This latter data, which is from the Framingham study, indicates that they are not entitled to presume that any of this long-term decline is due to reduced smoking. Temporal trends in coronary heart disease mortality and sudden cardiac death from 1950 to 1999: the Framingham Heart Study. CS Fox, JC Evans, MG Larson, WB Kannel, D Levy. Circulation 2004 Aug 3;110(5):522-527. "Nonsudden CHD death decreased by 64% (95% CI 50% to 74%, Ptrend<0.001), and SCD rates decreased by 49% (95% CI 28% to 64%, Ptrend<0.001). These trends were seen in men and women, in subjects with and without a prior history of CHD, and in smokers and nonsmokers." http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/full/110/5/522 The steady decline in cardiovascular disease deaths has also occurred despite increases in other supposed risk factors, and there's no indication after several decades of an increase among younger people. This also makes the health fascists' hysteria- mongering about an "epidemic" in the absence of any evidence reprehensible..
Molly Ciliberti, RN
Always consider the source. Mr. Wahlstrom is acting as a shill for Medtronic; they paid his salary for a long time and now pay his benefits. We just need to have the sources conflicts of interest painted very clearly and maybe for the gullible a note to consider the source and their motivation..

Look in the system logs.
As you can imagine, an actual debug session may be a little too long and/or dry to go over on the show. However, if you (and by you, I mean anyone) send some watson bucket IDs of crashes you have seen, I can pick a couple to go over.
You can get the watson bucket ID by going into the event viewer, find the "Application Error" event, then look at the "Windows Error Reporting" event right above it. There should be a non-zero bucket ID (assuming that you submitted the issue). Try and pick something that happened in the past 30-60 days.
Linux and OSX have a different OS model. If you compare a clean Win7 box to an OSX box shutting down times should be very comparable. It also depends on whether or not you are on a domain, the hardware, etc.
If you recall from the show, I did in fact state to not randomly start changing the state of the services. However, what I did say was to look at if there was anything in the event to indicate a service was taking a long time to shutdown, or if it were crashing during the shutdown.
The performance tools for windows are a great set of tools to use to troubleshoot these issues, and that was something I was going to go into at a later date.
There are countless number of reasons why a system may be slow to shutdown, and I can't possibly enumerate them all.
Thanks for your feedback, but I still stand by the recommendations stated, as well as understanding that there are other tools available to do more indepth analysis.
@Charles: Also note that there are some early b/g routers and 1st gen N routers that were slightly out of spec. If anyone actually remembers the microsoft branded router, that would be an example of a slightly out of spec router.
For 1 and 2 I will need to do more research...
For 3, when you open event viewer, look in the application log (under windows logs), and find the "Application Error" and right above it, the "Windows Error Reporting" and share the watson bucket ID.
1) Disk2VHD isn't a backup solution per se... you can't go back from the VHD to the physical drive.
2) considering 1) are you trying to restore the VHD to the drive, and it is no longer booting?
3) discounting 1 and 2, are you saying that the VHD you took won't boot properly in the VPC environment?
Wanted to get this out there for this show... we have an email address for the show: firstname.lastname@example.com. It would be great for some of the more detailed questions to come here because we may need to have a deeper discussion about the issues you may be having... thanks!
@tom : Can you do a tracert to http://media.ch9.ms/">http://media.ch9.ms ? I am curious what paths you are taking, and where the latency may be. Thanks

Capital Safety Group, through our Uniline brand is the global market leader in the manufacture of engineered fall protection systems, with a range of products and solutions specifically designed for the wind energy sector and engineered to reduce risk and enhance safety at operational level.
In order to meet the requirements of a global safety culture within the wind turbine manufacturing industry, Uniline has developed a system that enhances safety for maintenance workers when working outside the security of the nacelle cabin.
Current nacelle safety measures provided by rails that offer discontinuous attachment points are a low level safety solution, expose people to excessive risk, encourage misuse and contribute to unproductive working practices.
Understanding customer needs, the UniRail system provides unhindered continuous access for maintenance personnel working externally on a nacelle. The UniRail system can keep workers in a restraint position, but is capable of arresting user falls, facilitating rescue and providing a system for suspended access work, including inspection and cleaning.
Unline's systems are manufactured to ISO9001: 2000 standards and tested by Germanischer Lloyd for compliance with the requirements of EN50308. Additionally the system is compliant with the European standard for Fall Protection Anchorage Systems EN795.
The system is a very cost effective solution and has been designed for mass production with global scope, so it can integrate seamlessly into a supply chain. Furthermore UniRail has an excellent history in aggressive offshore and construction environments for more than 20 years.
The nacelle can be a hazardous working environment – working at height and against the wind. External access is required on the wind turbine for inspection and maintenance tasks, exposing workers to the risk of falling and wind turbine safety is essential. Once outside the Nacelle, exposed conditions increase risk…
Anchorage points are also helpful for facilitating inspection and maintenance tasks to the tower and blades, where rope access techniques can be used. Comprehensive safety provision is required to undertake such tasks in safety. Uniline has tailored its proven UniRail safety system to meet the specific needs of wind turbine…
Rescue & Descent
While working in the upper reaches of the tower, rescue can be almost impossible from the ground by conventional methods. Self rescue, personal evacuation and easy to use casualty evacuation equipment is a necessity for personnel working on wind turbines. The essence of evacuation or rescue is speed. Rapid descent,…

WJRT can be seen on cable systems throughout northeastern Michigan, as far north as Alpena. At one time, it was seen on cable as far north as Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, where the Shaw system there offered WJRT instead of WGTU from across the locks; in the early-2000s, Shaw replaced WJRT with Detroit's WXYZ-TV.
Goodwill Stations merged with Capital Cities Broadcasting (predecessor of Capital Cities Communications) in 1964, but WJRT was spun off to Poole Broadcasting (owned by John Poole, a former Capital Cities stockholder) because the merged company was one VHF station over the FCC's ownership limit of the time. In April 1978, WJRT along with the rest of Poole Broadcasting (which included WPRI-TV in Providence, Rhode Island and WTEN in Albany, New York) were sold to Knight Ridder. As soon as the acquisition of Poole Broadcasting was finalized, Knight Ridder cut a corporate affiliation deal with ABC; however, WJRT was already affiliated with ABC when Knight Ridder acquired the station. During the late 1980s, Knight Ridder decided to exit broadcasting by selling its stations to separate owners; as a result, WJRT was sold to SJL Broadcast Management (the predecessor of today's Montecito Broadcast Group) in 1989.
During the 1970s WJRT became Mid Michigan's highest rated television station, helped by ABC's ratings improvements during the decade. During the late 1980s and into the 1990s, WJRT was usually second to WNEM-TV. However, after ABC purchased WJRT (along with WTVG in Toledo, Ohio) from SJL in 1995, the station returned to the top of the Mid-Michigan ratings for primetime, where it remains today. Because Capital Cities spun the station off decades earlier, WJRT was the only ABC station not part of the Capital Cities/ABC merger in 1986, although it should be noted that longtime ABC affiliates KTRK-TV in Houston and WPVI-TV in Philadelphia were part of the merger.
In 1994, New World Communications signed an affiliation deal with Fox Broadcasting Company, resulting in most of New World's stations switching affiliation to Fox. Among the stations due to switch was WJBK-TV in Detroit, a longtime CBS affiliate. To avoid being consigned to UHF in the 11th-largest market, CBS heavily wooed Detroit's longtime ABC affiliate, WXYZ-TV. WXYZ's owner, E.W. Scripps Company, then told ABC that unless it agreed to affiliate with Scripps-owned stations in four smaller markets, it would switch WXYZ to CBS. As a contingency, ABC approached SJL about buying WTVG and WJRT. Both stations' city-grade signals reached portions of the Detroit area. The deal closed on August 29, 1995.
Ironically, when ABC acquired WJRT in 1995, it was reunited with its namesake radio station, WJR. WJR's owner, Capital Cities, had merged with ABC in 1986. And in 2002, WFDF (now a Detroit station), which unsuccessfully sought a channel 12 license in the 1950s, would also become a sister to WJRT when ABC bought the station. However, this reunion was partially broken up, as ABC sold WJR, along with other ABC Radio properties, to Citadel Broadcasting in January, 2006.
WJRT also served as the ABC affiliate of record for Lansing until WLAJ signed on in 1990.
Until the end of the 2006 college football season, WJRT carried Big Ten Conference football games (usually University of Michigan or Michigan State University) from ESPN's regional sports syndicator ESPN Plus. ESPN Plus lost rights to Big Ten Conference games to Big Ten Network in 2007.
Syndicated programming on WJRT includes Judge Judy, Judge Joe Brown, Live with Regis and Kelly, Who Wants To Be a Millionaire? (the new version with Meredith Vieira), and The Rachael Ray Show.

Jeff and Marci Holley will be making an exploratory, vision casting and future planning trip to Togo from January 22nd – 31st. They are excited about another family who is being led to partner with us in Togo. They have always felt that it would be a huge blessing to have another family go to Togo with them for support and encouragement. We are thrilled to announce that Kirsten Haviland-Phillips will be going in January with them. You can read more about how God is leading the Haviland-Phillips family in her personal message below.
We would like to ask you for your prayers and support for this upcoming trip. The cost of this trip will be approximately $4,500. If the Lord leads you to support them on this trip, you can contact Jeff at 918-350-0205 or make a donation through our website at www.visiononward.org. Make sure you note that the donation is for Togo.
We thank you in advance for your prayers and support!
God Bless!
Greetings fellow Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
The Lord has placed it on my family's heart to team up with Vision Onward / Togo, Africa. We are hoping to join them in Togo to help make this vision come to fruition. In doing so, we feel it is important for me to go to Togo, Africa in January of 2011 with the Holley's to help prepare myself and our six children for third world conditions. This trip will help determine if we will be moving over to Togo in due season. Please come along the side of the Haviland-Phillips family in prayer for wisdom and strength. Thank you for your prayer and support.
Serving Jesus,
Kirsten Haviland-Phillips

Along with the Village People, '70s disco artist Sylvester was one of the few artists of the era not afraid to openly acknowledge his homosexuality. Born Sylvester James during September 1944 in Los Angeles, CA, Sylvester was introduced to music at an early age by his grandmother, Julia Morgan, who was a jazz singer. While still a youngster, Sylvester began singing in gospel groups, while finding further inspiration from the likes of Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday, among others. After relocating to San Francisco in the late '60s, Sylvester began to perform in a musical production called Women of the Blues, before becoming the star attraction of a transvestite vocal group called the Cockettes in the early '70s. After leaving the band in 1973, Sylvester signed on with the Hot Band and issued such releases as Scratch My Flower and Bazaar the same year. Sylvester's dance-happy funk style eventually transformed into disco, as his flamboyant and over-the-top stage act created quite a following for the singer in the San Francisco area. He also issued some of his best-known recordings around the end of the decade -- 1977's Sylvester and 1979's in-concert Living Proof -- while racking up such popular disco hits as "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" and "Dance (Disco Heat)."

Lisa Ling: Reporting the Untold Stories of Our America |
Lisa Ling once said, As a journalist, I have seen things that have scarred me. I have interacted with people who have haunted me. I have heard things that have pained me. As a result, I have long struggled with the notion of faith... Whenever I start to blame God for what I encounter in the world, I stop and remind myself that maybe it is I who should be doing more. We get so hung up on the notion of success that we can easily forget about being of service to others.
Most know journalist Lisa Ling from her work as host of National Geographic Explorer, or as one of the former hosts on ABCs The View. But her work as a special correspondent on the Oprah Winfrey Networks show Our America with Lisa Ling most distinguishes the kind of journalism for which I think she would want to be known. Her personal and intimate brand of interviewing sets her apart from many other hard-nosed journalists. This is not to say that Ling does not ask the difficult and probing questions; she does, always. But her style is quieter more thoughtful, and her patience and persistence reap enormous benefits in the kind of answers she draws out from her subjects.
Lings career in journalism began early, at age 18, as a reporter and anchor on Channel One News, a news station that almost 9 million high school students can access. Stints as an international reporter in Iran and Afghanistan gave her the strength early on to face crisis situations worldwide and not flinch. In fact, her lack of fear in reporting the tough story has become one of Lisa Lings hallmarks.
Case in point: she produced eight documentaries for California PBS, one of which focused on drug trafficking from Columbia to California, during which she and her team searched the jungles of Columbia for cocaine production laboratories. While the story could have been told nearly as completely without the dangerous travel element, it would have lacked the authenticity that Ling demanded. This legitimacy characterizes her journalistic portfolio and gives her credibility with her viewers and within the industry.
Lings breadth of assignments is amazing for one so young. She has covered topics ranging from the Kosovo refugee crisis and the war in Afghanistan, to polygamy in America and life on a Native American reservation. She has a way of zeroing in on topics that are often uncomfortable, ignored or painful, and as host of Our America with Lisa Ling, she has not hesitated to probe subjects that few would want to tackle. Always non-judgmental, Ling has a way of putting her interviewees at ease and finding ways to open the questioning into a dialogue that is ultimately honest, revealing, and important.
Though her topics may not always be central in Americas debates, Ling has a way of giving life to a story that might have been marginalized, set aside, or dismissed as irrelevant. She pushes her way into the fringes of the American experience, finding the kernel of a documentary idea where others might not look. Her up-close-and-personal style, with a hand-held camera doing a lot of the work, provides an intensely private glimpse into someone elses story.
An episode of Our America, Pray the Gay Away, provided an ongoing conversation about whether therapy and prayer could be successful in turning a gay person straight. In her later interviews with Alan Chambers, the leader of Exodus International, an ex-gay reparative ministry, Lings questions investigated the radical change of heart Chambers experienced after the initial show. In a conversation with him, Ling asked about Chambers own sexuality, his identification with familial shame, and his desire to bring families back to a new understanding of each other. Her ability to keep the interview focused, gentle, and honest helped Chambers reveal his own change of heart.
Ling is able to talk with sex offenders who decry their convictions with the same earnestness that she brings to interviews with young women entering convent life, or to swingers living an alternate lifestyle. Her questions are the same ones you or I would ask, given the chance, but they ultimately take their toll on her psyche. Case in point: an episode called The 3 a.m. Girls, in which Ling followed underage prostitutes, 13- and 14-year-old girls who could not escape from a lifestyle that found them pimped out, beaten, and hopeless. The story gave her night terrors.
In an interview with the New York Post, Ling said, It takes a long time to get people to open up, and Im not a person who can turn my back. I try to keep in touch with them and help them when I can. Her devotion to her craft goes far beyond what many other journalists experience, and this dedication has helped the Oprah Winfrey Network find success with Our America. Lings followers know that, whatever story she is following, they will hear the truth told with dignity and straightforwardness, the hallmarks of Lings reporting style. Stevenson University is fortunate to host reporter Lisa Ling in this years Baltimore Speakers Series.
Chip Rouse has been teaching writing at Stevenson University since 1984. With an emphasis on journalism, she has served as the moderator of the student newspaper, The Villager, for over two decades and chairs the Department of Business Communication. Her interest in the technology of media has encouraged students who have studied writing here to pursue careers in the newest forms of communication.

Friday, August 10, 2012 - Page updated at 08:30 p.m.R.A. Dickey beats Miami for 15th win | Baseball Notebook
By The Associated Press
NEW YORK — R.A. Dickey was concerned with only one number after befuddling another team with his knuckleball.
Dickey pitched a complete game for his 15th victory, stopping Jose Reyes' 26-game hitting streak in the process and helping the New York Mets end their nine-game home skid with a 6-1 win Thursday over the Miami Marlins.
"That nine-game streak that was stopped today is more important than the 15 wins," said Dickey, who allowed five hits and struck out 10.
Dickey (15-3) turned in his third straight stellar outing — he allowed only two earned runs combined in his previous two starts — after going through a monthlong rough patch. He was 12-1 at the All-Star break but 2-2 in six starts afterward.
Pitching in 89-degree heat, perfect weather for his fluttery pitch, the former Mariner threw his fourth complete game of the year and eighth of his career.
"He's got the feel for it back, again," manager Terry Collins said. "All I can tell you is I hope the next eight starts are like this one."
Collins was prepared to ride his ace down the stretch, pitching Dickey on three days' rest, but said that is not a consideration since the Mets have gone from 46-40 at the break to 54-58.
Royals' Butler
just misses cycle
BALTIMORE — Billy Butler had already cleared the most difficult obstacles in hitting for the cycle, with a home run and his first triple since 2009.
All he needed was a measly single in his final two at-bats to become the seventh player in Kansas City Royals history to complete the cycle.
Butler fell short, striking out twice in the late innings of the Royals' 8-2 win over Baltimore.
Butler homered in a four-run first inning, doubled in the third and tripled in the fifth. Vying to become the first Royals player to hit for the cycle since George Brett in 1990, Butler struck out against Matt Lindstrom in the seventh and submariner Darren O'Day in the ninth.
"I really didn't have much to hit," Butler said. "They pitched me tough with some really good sliders."
Still, Butler improved to 11 for 24 (.458) with three homers and five RBI in six games against Baltimore this season.
"I try not to feel like he's picking on us," said Orioles manager Buck Showalter.
• Toronto put 3B Brett Lawrie on the 15-day disabled list with a possible rib-cage injury. The brother of former University of Washington softball star Danielle Lawrie is hitting .282 with nine home runs in his second season in the majors.

If all your system works... why would you share it with COVERs AND communites... LOL.. NOnsesnse
I'm not trying to hate, you seem like a good dude, but cap the games then you dont need a system. your numbers are interesting, but to me playing systems takes away the best part of betting, breaking down the teams and situations and the satisfaction that you picked the winner. But the money is still green so what do I know?

How to Download iPhone & Ipad Games for Free
Are you familiar of playing games on iPhones? Are you aware that you can 'download free iPhone games'? It is completely different. When downloading iPhone games, there are some things you need to know and consider. It's not simply just clicking buttons only. Well, in fact it is. But there are some words of warning before going out and downloading iPhone games. There are a few places that are better than others and all iPhone customers should be sensitive of both.
Not all people know it, but we can actually download iPhone games and applications all for free! In downloading iPhone games, it is not as simple as clicking the download button. You need to consider those few words of caution before downloading any iPhone games. It is better that you know all the information about your application first before getting it straight to your phone.
First, p2p sites are illegitimate. With companies finding it easier to seize people who download iPhone games illegitimately, you want to get rid of these sites. These are not certified sites. You can find a vast fine, adequate to have paid for more than hundreds of games. The other difficulty with these sites is they aren't secure for your computer or iPhone. You might end up downloading a virus that will damage your system and you could end up losing important documents.
These aren't the only types of sites to avoid. If you want to download iPhone games, avoid scam sites. You aren't able to easily tell by first looking at the site, but browse the site before downloading anything. There are a few giveaways to scam sites. One of the biggies is if the site has a ton of ads all over it. If there are so many ads that you can't even find games, this is a site you should stay away from.
There are a few ways to get games for your iPhone. One is by using java applets. You get to play free iPhone games this way. But there are new, promising websites that offer a one-time fee for a lifetime membership. This allows you an unlimited amount of download for just the one fee. That's it. Some sites are better than others. Just research each site and check out user reviews to find the best one. As more companies try to compete with each other, you are going to get many different sites with different options. You want to be safe when downloading iPhone games. Remember, just because it is free doesn't mean it is the best option. Sometimes paying a little bit of money will be safer and cheaper in the long run. Just because it's free doesn't mean you won't pay in the end.

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA") was passed in 1991. The Federal Communications Commission's rules and regulations implementing the act went into effect on December 20, 1992. The Federal Trade Commission concurrently implements the Act through the Telemarketing Sales Rule, issued January 29, 2003. Various states have also enacted statutes that govern telemarketing activities. It is DIRECTV's policy to comply with these rules, and in particular, to respect and honor the requests of consumers to be placed on DIRECTV's internal Do Not Call list, so that such consumers will not receive sales calls from DIRECTV unless and until they provide consent to receive sales calls. Please note that placement on DIRECTV's internal Do Not Call list does not restrict DIRECTV's ability to place informational and/or collections calls to its customers.
DIRECTV retains third-party vendors to telemarket its goods and services to customers as well as non-customers who do not have an existing business relationship with DIRECTV. DIRECTV will not call any DIRECTV customer who has communicated his or her desire to not receive sales calls. Requests to not receive sales calls are reflected in the customer's account records. Additionally, the phone number will be added to DIRECTV's internal Do Not Call list. In compiling a list of customers to call for a particular telemarketing campaign, DIRECTV will not include any customer whose account record is marked "do not call."
Third-party vendors who telemarket to non-customers (persons who do not have an existing business relationship with DIRECTV) subscribe to and scrub against all applicable state and federal "Do Not Call" registries, as well as DIRECTV's internal Do Not Call list. DIRECTV requires that all third-party vendors telemarketing at its request and under its direction ensure they are in compliance with federal and state laws regarding telemarketing and that they fully understand and agree to follow the procedures for maintaining "do not call" data. DIRECTV requires its vendors to report to DIRECTV all consumer requests to be removed from telemarketing lists so that each request can be added to DIRECTV's internal Do Not Call list. DIRECTV does not condone telemarketing activities conducted in violation of the TCPA, federal rules and regulations, and state laws regarding telemarketing.
DIRECTV requires all third-party service agencies that make telephone solicitations at DIRECTV's request and under its direction to:
- Institute procedures for maintaining a list of people who do not wish to receive telephone solicitations (a "do-not-call list");
- Scrub all leads against this do-not-call list before initiating any telephone solicitations;
- When applicable, scrub against required state and federal "Do Not Call" registries;
- Institute and maintain a procedure to capture all do-not-call requests and transmit them in the daily results file to DIRECTV;
- Develop a written policy implementing this requirement to keep a do-not-call list and make this written procedure available to anyone on demand;
- Maintain the do-not-call list for a period of 10 years and refrain from selling or sharing the do-not-call list (except with a subsidiary or affiliated company) without the customer's consent;
- Train and inform personnel engaged in any aspect of telephone solicitation in the existence and use of the do-not-call list;
- Provide the called party with the name of the individual caller, the person or entity on whose behalf the call is made and a telephone number (which may not be a 900 number or any other number for which charges exceed local or long distance transmission charges) or address at which that person or entity may be contacted;
- Make a record of the name and telephone number of the DIRECTV customer or consumer who requests not to be called again and forward such record to (a) DIRECTV, via the daily results file, (b) the party maintaining the vendor's do-not-call list and (c) affiliated entitles (where appropriate); and
- Place the consumer or DIRECTV customer's name and number on the do-not-call list of any affiliate of the telemarketer where the customer would reasonably expect to be included on such list given the identity of the telemarketer and the product or service being advertised.

« Bowker, Live, and Geo Books | Blog Home | Conflicting Overlap »
Page Found at 3 or 6: Not Google
While working on an upcoming presentation, I came across a Web page that I could not find on Google. The page has been at that URL, on a Canadian academic, site since at least 2003. I was rather surprised to not find it there, so I decided to try a quick overlap showdown. The comparison showed that it was indexed by Yahoo!, Gigablast, and Exalead, but it was not found by Google, Live, or Ask.
So here's another screencast showing the lack of overlap between search engines. This is a short screencast (01:30).
If the embedded version above does not work, try it direct at YouTube.
Try the searches yourself below to see if anything changes. Strangely enough, when I first ran the search, Ask found the page. Then when I recorded the screencast, Ask could not find it anymore. I just checked again, and it is back at Ask. Go figure.

All Hands on Deck!
Posted on July 6, 2012 , with 9 CommentsWe've made some noticeable changes to the site over the past week. We've made the site easier to navigate by adding in a User menu that will show up once you log into your Loot Palace account. Your total Plunder Points will be displayed near the top right side of every page, instead of just the member's page. We hope this clears up some confusion and helps you understand the website better. Keep reading for more details and to see what else we've done.
New Section: The Arcade
We've added a new page called the Arcade. In the arcade you'll be able to play old Game of the Month titles. Currently it just has the June game, Shopping Cart Hero 3. Every month we'll add a new game to the list. You currently don't receive points for having the high score in any arcade games, but we'll be adding ways to earn points here later on in the year.
If you want to win points for playing games, check out the Game of the Month. Each month we take the top 3 players and give them Plunder Points.
Exchange Your Doubloons for Plunder Points
As promised, you can finally trade in your Doubloons for Plunder Points. You will continue to gain doubloons for using the website even after you trade in your doubloons. Eventually we'll be making it so you'll earn Plunder Points for logging in, being active on the blog & forum, and other similar actions. Visit this page to get your doubloons turned into points.
Facebook Games
Did you know Loot Palace does mini-games on Facebook? Every Tuesday and Friday we play two short games which pay out Plunder Points. The first game is called "Guess the Value" and is posted every Friday. It runs from Friday until Monday morning. The other game is "Fill in the Blank" and is posted on Tuesdays. You can learn more about Loot Palace's Facebook games here.

I'm nto saying any of the other suggestions are wrong. I agree with them actually. But to give a referance. In my currently slow car(whch is slowly getting work done it so don't laugh at my E.Ts) I ran last January at about 60*low humidity. I ran a 15.3 @ 91 Mph... Then I did some stuff to the car in the mean time. I went back out in august and ran my car again, in 100+* weather. My track lock was going out on my car though, I had a vacume line disconnected I hadn't noticed plus a few other little odds and ends. I ran a 15.3@92mph. So in a nutshell just looking at the times, it seems like I did all this work to my car over 8 months and only gained 1 mph and no E.T. when in reality I overcame the odds of a failing track loc, and leavign teh lien with one tire spinning, the disonnected vacume line, and a few other things. Like I forgot to readjust my lifters after I let them pump up when I installed them so they were out of adjustment. Not to mention there was over 40* different in air temp and a huge differrence in humidity. Obviously I gained soem HP along the way. Ahh yes I forgot to mention I also had rao racing springs in my car for the aug run so I had no weight transfer. Usually tracks have a web site, you can look up the elevation there. If you are tryign to better yoru times, then always run the same track and note the temp. Most tracks will anounce the temp from time to time. I'm hoping to drop my car into the 13's here with in the few weeks. I have made many more changes.

Tusculum College Board of Trustees supports faculty efforts to add new academic programs
The Tusculum College Board of Trustees met on Friday and Saturday, May 20-21, and voted to move forward on expanding academic program offerings at both its residential college and in the Graduate and Professional Studies program.
At the recommendation of the Academic Affairs Committee, chaired by Dr. Jerry Ward, the board conceptually approved three new academic programs, pending completion of feasibility studies for each.
The resolution calls for exploration of new academic programs in criminal justice and nursing in the residential college curriculum and conversion of the master's of arts in organizational management in the Graduate and Professional Studies program to a master's in business administration.
"The Board of Trustees at Tusculum College is extremely supportive of the faculty's efforts to develop new academic programs in keeping with the mission of the college that will propel Tusculum College through its third century of operation," said Dr. Kenneth A. Bowman, chair of the Board of Trustees.
Also approved at the recommendation of the Academic Affairs Committee was a recommendation to proceed with School of Education program development and delivery at a new site in Madison County, N.C. The resolution authorizes the Office of the Provost to move forward with the submission of a self-study to the State of North Carolina and a substantive change request to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools-Commission on Colleges, both required steps to assure the programs will be adequately accredited.
Upon the recommendation of Dr. Moody, the Board of Trustees passed a resolution allocating any end-of-year revenue above expenses toward salary increases and benefits for full-time faculty and staff. The Board of Trustees approved the resolution pending the outcome of the annual audit in September.
Preliminary approval was given for the 2011-2012 annual operating budget, set at $27,802,091, up just over $500,000 from the current year's budget.
In other action the board reviewed and accepted the audits of the employee retirement plan and the employee benefits plan. The board also approved contract extensions for property and casualty insurance and for dining services.
Also introduced at the board meeting were Ms. Heather Patchett, newly named vice president for the Office of Institutional Advancement and Dr. Thomas Stein, newly named vice president of enrollment management.
In addition, during Friday's meetings, two former members of the Board of Trustees were granted Life Trustee status.
Dr. Robert H. Bailey of Greeneville is a Tusculum graduate of 1948 and has served the college as a past chair and treasurer of the Board of Trustees and was honored with an honorary Doctorate of Law degree in 1984.
Frank Brogden, a Tusculum graduate of 1950, served as a member of the Board of Trustees, as well as beginning his career at the college after graduation. The Kingsport resident has been a dedicated alumnus and has served diligently on many committees over his more than 50 years of service to the college.
Angelo Volpe, chair of the Institutional Advancement Committee, presented a resolution to the Board to establish funding levels for future named endowments. The Board approved the resolution, creating levels for Endowed Chair- $1,500,000; Endowed Professorship-$1,000,000; Endowed Faculty and Professional Development Fund-$250,000; Endowed Scholarship-$25,000; and Unrestricted Endowment-$10,000.
Four members of the faculty were approved for promotion to full professorship, including Dr. Brian Pope, professor of psychology; Dr. Melanie Narkawicz, professor of research; Dr. Greg Church, professor of biology, and Dr. Tom McFarland, professor of business administration.
Dr. Pope has been with the college since 2003 and is chairman of the psychology department. He has a Ph.D. in biopsychology from the University of Georgia, a master's degree in experimental psychology from the College of William and Mary and a bachelor's degree in psychology.
Dr. Narkawicz began teaching at Tusculum College in 1994 in the Graduate and Professional Studies Program. She has an Ed.D. degree in educational administration and supervision in the post secondary private sector research from East Tennessee State University and has a bachelor's degree in English from Florida Southern College.
Dr. Church has been at Tusculum College for the past 18 years. He has a Ph.D. in biology from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. He has a master's of science degree in environmental health and a bachelor's of science degree in biology from East Tennessee State University
Dr. McFarland joined Tusculum College in 2003 and currently is director of the School of Business. He has a Ph.D. in business administration from the University of Florida, an M.B.A. with finance emphasis and a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from the University of Colorado.
Also approved for promotion was Dr. Chris Kauffman, who was named associate professor of economics. Kauffman is currently chair of the organizational management department in the Graduate and Professional Studies program.
The board also approved Frank Mengel, a staff member since 1998, as faculty instructor. Mengel is currently Theatre-at-Tusculum's technical director and state manager and teaches several theater classes including introduction to theatre and stagecraft.
In other business, during the Friday portion of the two-day meeting, Joyce Doughty, director of the Center for Civic Advancement, and Bette Dowd, assistant certification officer and Charles Oliver Gray Office Supervisor, were recognized and commended for their years of service to the college. Both Doughty and Dowd retired at the end of the spring semester.
The next meeting of the Tusculum College Board of Trustees is September 22-23, 2011 in conjunction with Homecoming 2011.

Your best Valentine's Day ever
One of the most romantic Valentine's Days was in 1995. It was my first year in Vancouver and I was a newlywed. That day we received a lot of snow. Therefore Klaus called a taxi to pick us up and drive us to the restaurant. I did not know to which restaurant we were going until we arrived at it's door. It was the Raintree Restaurant. We enjoyed a beautiful meal in a very elegant atmosphere. And while we were having dinner a gentleman proposed to his girlfriend. I also vividly remember my very first Valentine's rose. It was in 1989, Klaus was my boyfriend then. He got up early to go to the nearby flower store to buy a long stem red rose and a card. SWEET! And we have been celebrating that day ever since.

Summer Vacation
I, a huge fan of holidays enjoyed my summer vacation a lot, as I had got a good percentage in the 9th. My parents allowed me to enjoy my holidays without any restrictions. I played a lot with my friends, watched a lot of television, had long sleeps but also studied during my 60 days long vacation. Like every student, I too was keen to go to school after my summer vacation. After a long wait, June 2nd finally arrived-the day my school reopened. I had been excited all summer, but when the first day arrived, I was petrified. I woke up very early that day and started thinking of everything I used to do in school. I knew school as always was going to be a lot of fun but I was also nervous and scared of the heavy load of studies in the 10th.
I then got ready for school, took the blessings of my parents and went to my 2nd house, my school. As soon as I entered Shiksha Sagar, I met all my dear, very caring, joyful and bubbly friends. We all started telling each other stories of what we did in our holidays. It was really awesome and I was feeling very happy being with them again. Then our school bell rang and we told our school prayer. After this, our Principal gave us a speech, in which she mainly told us to study well, behave well and always be disciplined and punctual. It was a very inspiring speech and it made me feel that school had finally started. We entered our new class and it was an amazing class. As we were in the 10th, our class was very special when compared to the rest. Our very friendly and inspiring teachers then came to our class and told us to be disciplined and to study well this year. We also shared our summer vacation experiences with them. They then reminded us that this was our 10th and was no joke. They told us to work really hard on our studies this year because we had to write our board exam and this exam is a life setting exam. I, personally was petrified and was getting scared and so were my friends. As some of my class mates and myself had got a very good result in the 9th,our teachers wanted us to continue the same and be the toppers of the board exam which made us even more nervous and we felt pressurized. But our lovely and caring teachers told us that we should not be intimidated by the studies of the 10th and should work extremely hard this year and get a very good result. They also told us various methods which could help us to get a very good result in the 10th. This made all of us fearless because we knew that if we follow what are teachers tell us, we all could would never go wrong and could get a good result. Our teachers' words inspired us and we were now ready for the 10th. My friends and I then enjoyed and had lots of fun in class. Finally school's first day came to an end.
The first day of school was a day of mixed feelings. Though I was happy to meet all my near and dear ones, I was also very scared because this year there was a huge load of studies which I had to carry. My teachers and parents had high expectations from me that I will be a topper of the board exam which put me under a lot pressure. I will not let them down and I know that I will study really well. In the end it was a very fun filled, enjoyable and inspiring day for me. It was a memorable day for me and I will remember it forever.

WASHINGTON: Uncle Sam will not LeT up on Pakistan's premier establishment-backed terrorist outfit. American authorities on Friday arrested yet another young Pakistani national in the Washington DC area, charging him of providing material support to Lashkar-e-Taiba .
Jubair Ahmad, 24, a native of Pakistan and resident of Woodbridge, Virginia, just outside the capital area, was rounded up by the FBI. According to the FBI affidavit in support of the criminal complaint , Jubair Ahmed received religious training from LeT as a teenager in Pakistan and later attended LeT's basic training camp, before entering the US in 2007 along with other family members . In 2009, the FBI launched an investigation after receiving information that Jubair may be associated with LeT, the Bureau said.

Cites meeting in July to push for Africa solution: better coordination and DNA tracing
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – The latest report on elephant poaching and ivory smuggling from Cites (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora), published 21 June, shows the highest level in a decade, with 2009-2011 as the three years with the worst numbers. The report is based on numbers supplied by governments. It will serve as the basis for discussion at a 23-27 July meeting of the governing Cites Standing Committee, to be held in Geneva.
2011 was a record year for seizures of smuggled ivory, with 24.3 tons seized,the most since record-keeping began 23 years ago. International trade in elephant ivory was banned by a Cites agreement in 1989. The organization has relaxed the ban twice, once in 1999 and the second time in 2008, to allow one-off sales of ivory stocks from Bostswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe.
Two key solutions are better coordination among African nations where the poaching occurs and transit plus end-user countries. "At the international level, creative and innovative responses to this crisis are required," the UN Environmental Programme (Unep) says in a statement issued jointly with Cites.
"The use of modern traceability systems, including DNA forensics in cases of wildlife trafficking has already proven to be very effective. DNA evidence has been used successfully in a number of rhinoceros-related cases in South Africa and it is routinely forming a part of numerous criminal investigations. In any case, enforcement efforts to stop wildlife crime must be coordinated. This is why the work of the recently-established International Consortium to Combat Wildlife Crime (ICCWC) is essential to support and coordinate enforcement actions across international borders."
Unep is one of four groups that compiles the data reported by governments and used in the report. "China and Thailand are the two primary destinations for illegal ivory consignments exported from Africa according to the seizure data. Seizures of large ivory consignments in Malaysia, the Philippines and Viet Nam since 2009, were believed to be in transit to China and Thailand. Some African and Asian countries have made significant efforts to enhance enforcement. For example, China conducted earlier this year a major operation which resulted in the seizure of 1,366.3 kg of ivory and the arrest of 13 suspects."
Organized crime is generally believed by those tracking smuggling to be behind seizures of more than 800kg of ivory. Most containers leaving Africa for Asia go from Kenya or Tanzania, but while poaching is occurring throughout Africa the area where it is thriving the most appears to be central Africa. "Poaching levels are increasing in all countries where African elephants occur, and may be leading to dramatic declines in some populations, but particularly in Central African countries, where poaching levels are highest," says Julian Blanc, who coordinates the Mike (Monitoring Illegal Killing of Elephants) programme for Cites.
Blanc says the number of illegally killed African elephants "in 2011 alone could well run into the tens of thousands", a rise in numbers brought to international attention by the killing of hundreds of elephants in Bouba Ndjida National Park in Cameroon in early 2012.
"The Mike analysis shows poaching to be highest where human livelihoods are most insecure and where governance and law enforcement are weakest."

If I were the lawyer of the driver at fault, I would subpoena the KNS comment section for everyone here knows that the 55 mph is just a suggestion which you are not to obey. You should drive with the flow of traffic, which is very rarely at 55 on 640.
Right. It was the speed at which traffic was flowing that caused the problem. Not the driver of the F-350 being so distracted by a text that he failed to notice a BRIGHT, NEON GREEN EMERGENCY VEHICLE SITTING AT A DEAD STOP IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE.
He was at fault. Big time. And should consider himself lucky to be in a position to be sued, rather than buried.
Best wishes for all involved. Drive safely out there, folks.

- 2 egg yolks*
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Dash of Tabasco
- Dash of Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 bunches scallions, white and part of green, sliced
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 pound tomatillos, husked, washed and chopped
In a bowl, combine the egg yolks, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, pepper, Tabasco, and Worcestershire. Blend with a whisk. Gradually add oil, a drop at a time, whisking constantly. As mixture begins to thicken and looks like mayonnaise, you can add oil more generously. Adjust seasonings and store in refrigerator as long as 4 days.
In a blender, combine scallions, sour cream, and lemon juice. Pulse a few times to combine, then puree until smooth. Add salt, pepper, tomatillos and 1/2 cup of the Mayonnaise. Blend just to combine.
Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.

On Thursday 03 January, Tom Andrews and Traci Lewis gave a joint presentation on sustainable food cities at the Oxford Real Farming Conference.
Throughout the UK, pioneering communities at every scale - from small towns to major urban centres - are recognising the key role food can play in dealing with some of today's most pressing social, economic and environmental problems and are developing city-wide sustainable food programmes involving businesses, institutions and civil society.
Tom Andrews, Sustainable Food Cities Director at the Soil Association, provided an overview of the Sustainable Food Cities programme in the UK and its potential in fostering a more healthy, sustainable, prosperous and equitable food system.

The Monitor's View: Seattle cop-killer case – the exception, not the rule
Dec 15, 2009
from the Christian Science Monitor's editorial:
The case of the ambush and killing of four police officers in a coffee shop near Seattle on Sunday is exceptionally troubling – emphasis on exceptionally.
Four police officers shot, execution-style. Their families struggle to recover as they mourn. The suspect, Maurice Clemmons – released from jail just days before the ambush, despite a long history of violent crime and known mental problems. After a massive manhunt, he's dead, too, shot early Tuesday by a policeman investigating a stolen car.
The extraordinary nature of this crime is why it's captured the nation's attention. But it's also a reason for caution. High-profile crimes have a tendency to rank emotion over reason when it comes to the criminal justice system.
Remember, for instance, the wrenching story of young Polly Klaas, kidnapped from a slumber party in her California home in 1993 and then murdered. The case served as a catalyst for the state's "three strikes" law, the nation's toughest law for repeat offenders.
The law has netted violent offenders, but also nonviolent ones, and it has helped swell the state's prison population. In August, with California prisons at nearly twice their capacity, a panel of judges ordered the state to significantly reduce the number of inmates.
In the Clemmons case, the public and law enforcement have voiced outrage that he was granted clemency in 2000 by Mike Huckabee, the former Republican presidential candidate who at that time was governor of Arkansas.
Mr. Huckabee cited Clemmons's age – he was 16 when he began a crime spree that included burglaries and robberies and that resulted in a total sentence of more than 100 years. The parole board also unanimously supported clemency for Mr. Clemmons, who had served 11 years....
With about 1 in 100 adults in prison or in jail, the US is the prison capital of the world. Shrinking state budgets are forcing corrections officials into a cost-cutting mode, and some smart states into seizing the day on prison reform. They're reducing the sentences of nonviolent offenders, and diverting early nonviolent offenders into rehab programs. They're granting more parole – but focusing their monitoring on high-risk parolees.
These are all positive trends. But the risk of a high-profile case such as Clemmons's is that it will bring a backlash leading to a wrong policy. That it will continue to discourage clemency, for instance, or that it will somehow slow the momentum toward reform.
Investigators need to look at how it was that Clemmons slipped through the fingers of law enforcement not once, but several times. They are likely to find flaws that should be corrected. But they must be careful about drawing broad conclusions from an exceptional case.

Grand-Am Rolex Series announces 2010 schedule
Grand-Am Rolex Series announces 2010 schedule
October 10 2009
Ahead of today's season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Grand-Am Road Racing announced its 2010 schedule for the Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Cask No. 16, featuring 12 Daytona Prototype and GT class combined races in a dozen weekends. However, the schedule does not include a race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, as had been speculated following an open test on the IMS road course on Sept. 3.
The 11th season of competition will include several series staples, including the Rolex 24 At Daytona and Watkins Glen six-hour endurance races, as well as significant changes to a pair of sprint races at Lime Rock Park and Barber Motorsports Park.
The series aims "to continue its focus on building fan-friendly events that appeal to the whole family and offer unparalleled access to the racing experience, including the pit road fan walk and direct access to drivers, team members and racecars." All Grand-Am events include driver autograph sessions, a pit road fan walk and access to the team paddock, as well as new activities to be introduced in the 2010 season.
Rolex Series competition returns to Lime Rock Park during Memorial Day weekend, and for the first time, GT class competitors will be joined by Daytona Prototype teams and drivers. The Rolex Series has competed at the Connecticut track four times since the series' first season in 2000. Barber also features a new date, moving its regular July race to April for the first time. The season again begins with the 48th running of the Rolex 24, Jan. 30-31 at Daytona International Speedway.
Other major alterations to the schedule include moving the Grand Prix of Miami at Homestead-Miami Speedway from the fall to back to springtime, to March 6-8; the Porsche 250 at Barber Motorsports Park from July to April 10-11; and New Jersey Motorsports Park from May to the weekend of July 17. The season finale returns to Miller Motorsports Park near Salt Lake City, Utah, competing on the Outer Perimeter course for the first time.
The schedule also returns to Virginia International Raceway for the Bosch Engineering 250, scheduled for the weekend of April 24-25; the Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen at Watkins Glen International June 5-6 ; then travels to Lexington, Ohio, the weekend of June 19 for the EMCO Gears Classic at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
Competitors return to Daytona on the Fourth of July weekend and again will share the track with the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, running the Brumos Porsche 250. New Jersey is the next stop with the new date the weekend of July 17, and will be followed by another combination race with the Sprint Cup Series, Aug. 7-8 at Watkins Glen.
The Rolex Series then crosses into Canada for its fourth race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, sharing the track with the NASCAR Nationwide Series Aug. 28-29, before the Miller finale, scheduled for Sept. 10-11.
The announcement did not include TV information, which the series will be released at a later date.

Academic Integrity: A Quick Guide
On this page you will find an introduction to academic integrity at U of T, as well as a supplementary Frequently Asked Questions section. Scroll down to find out more.
Academic Integrity: A Guide to Expectations at U of T
by Martha Harris, Academic Integrity Officer, Office of Student Academic Integrity
(With thanks to Kristi Gourlay and Steve Livingston)
One of the biggest challenges for new students to U of T is learning about new expectations and rules. This can be particularly difficult for students like you who are transitioning from a different culture, and might have to change some ideas you learned before you came to U of T.
You'll hear a lot of talk about "academic integrity". What is academic integrity anyway? Integrity is about living your life with honesty, fairness and respect, through good times and bad. Academic integrity is about earning your university degree through your own hard work. It is also about making difficult choices and not taking the easy way out during hard times. Integrity is important to the University.
The idea of accidentally committing an academic offence can be scary. Learning more about academic offences and what the University expects of you can make you feel more prepared and ready for any academic challenges you may face. The rules that you need to know and follow are listed in a document called the Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters. It is a legal document and might be difficult to understand, but all students are expected to know it and understand it.
Type of Offence | Example(s) |
Plagiarism | Copying an idea from a website, book, or another source without a reference to say where you copied it from |
Forgery, fraud, altering documents | • Changing the date or name on a medical note so you can miss a test or exam • Getting a medical note to miss a test/exam when you aren't really sick • Changing an answer on a test that has been marked |
Unauthorized Aid (giving or receiving) | • Bringing a cell phone into a test or exam • Bringing a dictionary into a test or exam if everyone isn't allowed a dictionary. • Emailing your assignment to a friend who might copy from it • Having study notes in your pocket during a test or exam (even if you don't use them) • Working together on an assignment that is supposed to be your own work • Allowing an "editor" to change your work or add material, rather than just suggesting places which need work |
Impersonation | • Writing a test for a friend, using their TCard • Using a friend's iClicker to answer questions for them when they aren't in class |
False or Concocted References | • Making up a reference to a book that doesn't exist • Citing an incorrect source |
Submitting work for which credit has already been received. | • Submitting the same essay to two different courses • Copying paragraphs from one of your older essays into an essay for a current course |
If you still have questions about academic offences, talk to your registrar. And always ask your TA or instructor if you aren't sure what they expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: If I commit an academic offence, will I be expelled?
Probably not. Expulsion happens in rare cases involving very serious offences. There is a wide range of penalties in the Code, including receiving a warning letter, a zero on the assignment, reduction in final grade, zero in the course, a 1-5 year suspension, or expulsion. Every case is different.
Q: I have a tutor/editor who helps me with my assignments. Is that cheating?
No - as long as your tutor or editor only identifies mistakes in your assignment, gives you feedback, or shows you how to improve your study habits and test-taking. Your tutor or editor shouldn't correct mistakes for you, add material to your work, or write your paper for you. It is up to you to do that. To be safe, ask for help at your college's writing centre or the Academic Success Centre.
Q: What if I didn't mean to plagiarize?
Unintentional plagiarism can happen when you:
• Lose track of where you got your information from;
• Paraphrase or summarize very poorly, so most of the words from your source remains in their original order;
• Forget what parts of your notes are your ideas, and what parts are directly from your sources.
Unfortunately, plagiarism is an offence under the Code, whether you meant to do it or not, so it is important to learn how to avoid it. Margaret Proctor's How Not to Plagiarize and the University of Toronto Writing Website are good places to find tips on how to improve your research and writing skills and avoid accidental plagiarism.
Q: Things were different in high school in my home country. How do I know if I'm doing something wrong?
Check your course syllabus for information on what your instructor expects of you for citation styles, group work policies, late penalties, and deadlines. Usually, your instructor or TA will have time set aside each week for office hours, where you can ask questions and ask for advice.
Q: I don't understand why I could be committing an offence if I work too closely with friends. I thought working together was a good thing?
Most instructors agree that discussion in study groups is a good idea. What is important is that the work you submit for credit must be your own work, unless group work is allowed. Unless your assignment requires or specifically allows people to submit assignments in groups, you must write your assignment on your own. Make sure you know what your instructor expects from you and if you aren't sure, ask.
Q: Why should I worry so much about references? So many ideas come from other places, is it really worth it?
By giving references, you (1) show respect for the person who did the original work, (2) make your work stronger by showing that other people agree with you, and (3) allow people who are interested in that idea to look at your source and learn more. Your professor wants to read your thoughts on what you have read, too. Show that you understand what you have read and can build on it.
Q: My English isn't very good and I feel like I'm not going to do as well as the other students in my class. How can I succeed?
We know that working and writing in a new language takes time. Studying and writing assignments in Canada will be part of your learning process and is important language practice. Avoid comparing yourself to other students in your course – your fears that you are a terrible student may not be true, and they will discourage you.
Be proud that the work you submit is yours alone, just like your degree. Getting a C on an essay instead of an A or a B might seem discouraging, but it's proof that you are learning. Stick with it, and you might be surprised at what you can accomplish!
Q: Where can I get more help?
• Centre for International Experience
• Academic Success Centre
• Writing at U of T
• Academic Honesty (Student Life)
