This is the class website for University College Dublin module MA Advanced Macroeconomics (ECON 41620) taught by Prof. Karl Whelan.
The focus in this course will be on the methods that modern macroeconomics uses to model and understand time series fluctuations in the major macroeconomic variables. The first part of the course focuses on Vector Autoregression studies and Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium models. Later lectures focus on modelling the interactions between the financial sector and the macroeconomy.
Here is a handout describing the assessment for the class, the syllabus and a full reading list.
The final exam takes place on Thursday May 16 at 6PM at RDS Simmonscourt. This handout describes the format for the final exam and provides some sample questions. (Updated: April 24). Here is last year's final exam.
Lecture Notes
1. Introduction: Time Series and Macroeconomics
3. VARs with Long-Run Restrictions
4. Solving Models with Rational Expectations
5. The Real Business Cycle Model
6. Consumption Euler Equations
8. The Modern New-Keyesian Model (Technical background notes).
9. Default Risk and Credit Rationing
12. Evidence on Bank Equity and Leverage

"Vietnam in HD," (airing for two hours at 9 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) is a six-hour docudrama that will open your eyes.
Using home movies and archival footage unseen by even the most avid students of the war in which 2.5 million Americans served, the miniseries starts in the spring of 1964 when fewer than 50 percent of Americans had even heard of Vietnam. Music of the era sets the scene as young men and women frolic. But we have already seen clips of the battles, the flag-covered coffins, the generals meeting, and we know what is coming.
The battle scenes were culled from thousands of hours of uncensored footage, much of it shot by soldiers, then converted into high definition. Shot from the ground and the air, the footage is pulse-poundingly realistic and occasionally graphic.
Tuesday's show is titled "The Beginning / Search and Destroy," Wednesday's is "The Tet Offensive / An Endless War," Thursday's is "A Changing War / Peace With Honor." Details of each show are can be seen at the History Channel web site. The soundtrack for the show can be downloaded from iTunes for $14.99 through a link at the site.
The spoken and written comments of 13 real people are voiced by such stars as Edward Burns, Tempestt Bledsoe, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Dylan McDermott and Adrian Grenier. It is narrated by Michael C. Hall.
This excellent docudrama followsthe History Channel's acclaimed Emmy-winning series "WWII In HD," which was seen by more than 24 million people in 2009.
To mark the premiere of this miniseries, the History Channel is working with the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund and the Honor Flight Network to support the Memorial Fund's Call for Photos Initiative. This national effort is designed to preserve the memories of those who lost their lives in Vietnam by collecting a photo for each of the 58,272 people named on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. The photos will be featured in an interactive exhibit at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund's education center, which is scheduled to open in 2014. the memorial fund has already collected about 20,000 of the needed photos.
The History Channel will also work with Honor Flight to recognize the service of three Vietnam Veterans by hosting their visit to the Memorial Wall on Veterans Day.

Happy 2012!
I hope you have missed me because I sure have missed you all! I have had an extremely busy last couple of months and really had a hard time deciding where the blog fit into my schedule. Sadly it hasn't really fit at all lately but I am really looking forward to a fresh start in 2012. Instead of listing out all of my goals for the year I am basically just going to try and play a little catch up on what has been going on in our house over the last month. And maybe by the time I catch you up on all of that I will have figured out what my goals for the year will be!
So, let's start with the cruise! Mine and Lew's anniversary is December 15 and we try to do something special every year. For the last 3 years we have taken a week long trip. In 2009 we spent a week in Park City, UT, in 2010 we spent a week in Whistler snowboarding (which you can read all about here, here, here, here, here, here, here) and this year we took a seven day cruise!
We had an amazing time on the cruise but have already decided that this coming year for our fifth anniversary we are going to do something a little less and spend a few days in Chattanooga and stay in the hotel we stayed at on our wedding night and for our first anniversary. The week long vacations are fun but have gotten to be a little much right before Christmas. I am already looking forward to a calmer holiday travel season.
Alright, back to the cruise! After a little travel drama (nothing better than forgotten luggage…) we got on the road to Florida! From Knoxville we drove through North and South Carolina instead of south and through Atlanta. I loved the drive but probably just because it was something different.
We made a stop a Moe's for car riding fuel. I had my favorite…the nachos…
Vegetarian nachos with pinto beans and tofu to be exact. Definitely the best.
After a very long drive we stopped in Titusville to spend the night with family meals and miles! Sadly I did not get any pictures because I am a recovering terrible blogger and was really exhausted. Meghann's family was kind enough to let us crash their Christmas party and spend the night and then take us to our port. Meghann picked us up on Saturday when we returned home and it was great to catch up for a few minutes!
Our room on the cruise ship was in the front of the ship. We had an awesome view from our window but the ship rocking felt differently because the way our room was set up and caused me to not feel so great all of the time.
I tried to take a picture of Lew through our window but really just got a cool picture of myself.
One of my favorite things about this cruise were the Christmas decorations. I was so excited to see garland hung and trees decorated!
A lot of our trip included these things…cards and paper to keep score. When Lew and I went on our honeymoon we played lots of rummy and decided we needed to take it up again this trip.
In Cozumel we rented a jeep and drove around the island. Probably the best vacation decision we have ever made. For forty dollars
Next stop..Mahogany Bay at the Roatan Island of Honduras. The most awesome stop of the trip. A friend of mine and Lew's actually lives on the island and offered to give us a tour. Jenna thank you so much Lew and I both had an amazing time and look for to visiting again!
The best food I have ever eaten. Something about deep fried corn tortillas, beef, rice, spinach, cheese and hot sauce. Best thing ever!
For our anniversary we spent the day on these lounge chairs in Costa Maya.
And had massages on these tables oceanfront.
We had an awesome time but I am so glad to be home. Next cruise will not be 7 days and we will be taking friends!

"With good intentions the world was once on the brink of destruction. And yet again, lofty goals of life and the future are threatened. But this time, is it by action or inaction?"
So starts my idea for an RP to be set in the Chrono-verse, taking place a year after Cross. There were so many questions left unanswered, yet so many possibilities available!
I have a lot of ideas on how this story can go, and I'd love to hear ideas as well. I'm willing to share as soon as people are interested. We could make our own confusing, convoluted, yet hopefully a little more simplified story as we rip the space-time continuum a new one!
Basically the idea I had was to show the inverse effect the Chrono Cross had upon the world, what ramification it held for keeping the world stable and even asking whatever happened to Frozen Flame after the end.
Also of course, what with Cross having such a confusing and convoluted plotline, what with hard to explain events and not fully understanding just what the heck happened, this'd be a good way to not only expand on the storyline, but hopefully try to explain a great deal.
You don't need to have played both games to know whats goign on, but having played/beaten at least one would help. If you need clarification on what happened in either one, I'll try my best to explain as simply as possible.

Lady Lindsey´s panties sure are in a knot. Where was his noise before the election?
Obama doesn´t think he is responsible for anything. Then he acts with indignation, how dare anyone question him.
Thank you, Senator Graham! Now, run this predator to ground!
Obama always looking for excuses, and never knows what´s going on.He set women´s rights back 40 years by acting like he needed to step in-front of the Susan Rice debacle as if she´s not strong enough to stand up for herself.Amazingly, he now admits today she was purposely sent out to lie to the American puplic. To pretend she was in an authoritative position to speak.
The American people need to stand behind every effort to demand the truth about Benghazi.
All kidding aside, Biden would be an improvement. Let the games begin.
Susan Rice tried to explain Benghazi. Silly us, of course, it was her job interview for Secretary of State.
Of course Lady Lindsey will vote yes if John Kerry is up for DoD or SoS.
Remember when Panetta said he didn´t want to send a military response because he was worried about the ´innocent´ bystanders outside the burning embassy.Eventually the entire story will be revealed and the msm will make sure that O is never blamed for his failure.
I have been saying for a long time that Obama is not trying to impose (soft) Western European Socialism, it will be hardcore Stalin-ism if no ones stands up to him. Never thought Lindsey Gramnesty would be the one to show some balls. Maybe now Mccain can find some long ago forgotten last minute patriotism.This is not your normal American Election cycle. Many believe it is already too late.
I´m sorry, but the thought of da one and Miss Lindsey going at it brings to mind the image of a limp-wristed, little girl slap fight.
And -- ?Can Trump fire Lindsay? Somebody had better.
If any reader has some pull with the Conservative Media, get them to ask:"Where are the 30 people who got rescued and flew out of Libya the next morning?Are they being held incommunicato (prisoner) in Germany by our government?And why has the conservative media not followed up? Usually these people are paraded in front of the TV cameras.
The American People don´t care about Benghazi. Really they don´t.
I care
I really hope this is not just for show.obama and several others should be in prison for leaving 30 people to be murdered.
You can bet that the Chicago gang is out to dig up every piece of dirt they can find on Graham. Expect a sex scandal to come to light soon that involves him--welcome to Obamaland.
1, Graham was saying this before the election.
Sen. Graham is running for re-election in 2014. ´Nuff said.Semper Fi

Nah, it's not so bad.
There is a good tutorial for it.
Only problem, it's in Russian and the links are quite outdated.
We also have one over here, on SE-NSE, but that's even more outdated, and incomplete.
That's why I've decided to write a tutorial myself.
First things first: What tools do I need
• TortoiseSVN (Link) Just install it like you would install any program
• IAR Embedded workbench (link) thanks to Boysie. Unpack everything in
C:\Program Files\Embedded Workbench 4.0 EvaluationNow we've got those things covered, let's get the files we need for compilation.
Easy things first:
• Your phone's .mbn, .raw, phone_app.cxc and when available phone_emp_app.cxc.*
It is important that db3xxx obtain these files using Read3150 v0.7.
http://justdanpo.cheb.ru/data/projects/gsm/read3150_0.7.rarNext, we go to svn://svn.boba.su/SE and get the workspace files.
It'll ask for a username and password.
Username: guest
Password: guest
Don't forget to check the 'save authentication' box.
If all is correct, you'll get this screen
We need 4 of these files:
• ElfPack
• include
• Dlls
Download them by right clicking on them and use Export
Save them on a location that would seem suitable for you.
How about?
C:\Program Files\Embedded Workbench 4.0 EvaluationSo where it says "Export directory", we enter (for C++):
C:\Program Files\Embedded Workbench 4.0 Evaluation\C++
Do the same thing for 'Elfpack', 'include' and 'Dlls'
Now we should have something like this:
Next up, we're going to open IAR Embedded Workbench
If you followed the guide, you can copy-paste this directly into explorer to open it. If not, you'll have to find it yourself.
C:\Program Files\Embedded Workbench 4.0 Evaluation\IAR4\Embedded Workbench 4.0 Evaluation\common\bin\IarIdePM.exeNow, the program will ask us what to do. Choose the option: Open Existing Workspace.
The workspace we're looking for is called ElfPack.eww and can be found here:
C:\Program Files\Embedded Workbench 4.0 Evaluation\ElfpackNow, if everything went fine, you should be able to see this:
Next, go to Project -> Edit configuration
Choose your phone model + firmware (for the purpose of this guide, I'll compile W995_R1GA026)
Next, choose Project -> Rebuild all
Now if everything went correct, we've got some new stuff in the ElfPack folder, so go there:
You should now see the new folders:
W995_R1GA026 (or your own phone+firmware)
and the file:
Now, go to folder PHONENAME_FIRMWARE\exe. There should be a file named elfpack.elf!
We're not done yet, so stick with me.
Create a folder named _Utils in your Elfpack folder.
C:\Program Files\Embedded Workbench 4.0 Evaluation\ElfPack\_UtilsPlace in there the ElfPack.elf file, your phone_app.cxc and phone_emp_app.cxc. (when available)
Now, we need to get elf2vkpex.exe. Get that from here or here.
Finally, create a file named make.bat in there.
Open make.bat with notepad and in it, you paste the following (whatever applies to your platform.)
elf2vkpex -eELFPACK.ELF -fPHONE_EMP_APP.CXC -fPHONE_APP.CXC
elf2vkpex -eELFPACK.ELF -fPHONE_APP.CXC
elf2vkpex -fFILE.MBN -eELFPACK.ELF
elf2vkpex -fFILE.RAW -eELFPACK.ELF -vWhen done, your folder should look something like this
Once you're sure you've got the same files as above, double click make.bat and see, we've got two new files.
And we're done, it's as simple as that.
If you want to publish it, be sure to paste the following lines in the beginning of your patch
;PHONE_FIRMWARE ;ELFPack v1.999 (c) Hussein ;SWI_Hook (c) Rst7/CBSIE ;ElfLoader (c)2007 by Rst7/CBSIE, BoBa, KrenSo now we're done.
All we now need is the latest library. You could get it here or here, but it is of course way cooler to just get them from svn://svn.boba.su/SE/Library using tortoise.
We also need our dyn_const.bin and LibraryDLL.dll.
You could just get them here
http://justdanpo.cheb.ru/index.php?link=L3N1cHBvcnQvZWxmcGFjaw==but you can also easily create them yourself.
First up, LibraryDLL.dll
You might, or might not know it, but you've already downloaded all the necesary tools. They're all in the Dlls folder.
C:\Program Files\Embedded Workbench 4.0 Evaluation\Dlls\LibraryDLL
We see a file there named 'LibraryDLL.eww'.
Do you still recognize the .eww extenstion?
It's the IAR workbench extension, so open up IAR.
C:\Program Files\Embedded Workbench 4.0 Evaluation\IAR4\Embedded Workbench 4.0 Evaluation\common\bin\IarIdePM.exeChoose 'open existing workspace', go to the 'LibraryDLL folder' and choose 'LibraryDLL.eww'
Choose your own phone + firmware via Project -> Edit Configurations and 'rebuild all'.
If everything is correct you'll find your 'LibraryDLL.dll' in
C:\Program Files\Embedded Workbench 4.0 Evaluation\Dlls\LibraryDLL\phone_firmware\ExeCreating dyn_const.bin is very similar, only difference being the fact that we still need to download the necessary files.
To do so, go to svn://svn.boba.su/SE and export the folder called dynconst to
C:\Program Files\Embedded Workbench 4.0 Evaluation\dynconstOpen IAR again:
C:\Program Files\Embedded Workbench 4.0 Evaluation\IAR4\Embedded Workbench 4.0 Evaluation\common\bin\IarIdePM.exeOpen the file 'dynconst.eww' in the 'dynconst folder'.
Now here is the tricky part.
When choosing phone + firmware, you'll notice that not all phones are listed.
If your phone is not listed (like my W995), pick one that is from 'the same generation'.
For me, this would be a db3210 and a walkman phone (like W705, W715), so I pick one of those.
To know which one to pick look below the spoiler to find a full list of all phones (as of 16-8-2010)
C:\Program Files\Embedded Workbench 4.0 Evaluation\dynconst\phone_firmware\ExeThat's it. We're done. Compress your Elfpack using winrar or winzip, and upload it in the elfpack topic, for other users to use.
I'd like to say thanks some people for helping me with this guide.
-First off, Boysie. He helped me compile my first ElfPack, answered the most silly questions, and uploaded his IAR. Without him, I wouldn't have been able to do it.
-Next the other people helping me in the A2 Elfpack topic, thanks guys.
-Thomassafca, for being a pain in my ass and pushing me into writing this guide. Thanks.
-Den Po, IronMaster, Husein for releasing Elfpack
-Blacklizard, for being one of the greatest creators/porters out there. (Also for providing Boysie with the link to IAR, apparantly )
-And last, but certainly not least, awg, over at mobilefree.ru. Without his guide, I would have come nowhere.
Hope you'll enjoy using it. Any questions can be posted here.
Notes and advanced tips:
- phone_emp_app.vkp is obviously not needed for db3150 (quote)
- How to remove / modify elf icon. By Boysie (Link)
- Or, a more sofisticated way to remove / modify elf icon. By NKLS (Link)
- Expanding phone_app.cxc and phone_emp_app.cxc By Crazysharath / Maxidimov (Link)
- Advanced make.bat with auto rename function. By Tobi@s (Link)
- New Elf2VKP By Den Po. Thanks to Crazysharath (Link)

text: Recently, several parents asked what they should do when their child comes home with a note from school, indicating poor behavior. The first step is to talk to your child and hear his story. Listen closely,without judgement, assumptions or taking sides. Neither defending nor admonishing your child is helpful before understanding the whole story, and determining the cause. Many times a punishment or disciplinary action is not needed because action has been taken at school, or it was a misunderstanding which caused the misbehavior. In this one particular case where a mom of a 5 year old described her son's behavior, she realized that he was following directions from his last year's teacher, and was confused with the new rules. Children need to be taught as they go. Some need more concrete information than others, but all need to be taught through the manner in which they can understand. Understanding each particular situation will help you teach your child learn what he needs to know, and how to get his needs met. Read the full article "Dealing with a child's problems at school".

Ok first off, what is the general rules in HoN?
Backdoor not allowed I guess?
if so i want to report twi guys from this game. ID:5020815
You will see who im talking about but to make it easier:
cruist and paborito backdoored, totally destroyed the game
Backdoor is not prevented by the game, therefore its legit.
Unless you're playing a league or tourney that bans it (why would they, I dunno).
Dude backdoor is common theme the point is you can backdoor, if the other team doesnt carry a tp to defend their base, then they should be backdoored.
Learn how to play with tp's and u won't ever be backdoored.
i love it when pro backdoor people use the arguement "learn to play" when pretty much all of the top players who would absolutely smash them are against it
I agree with it being an acceptable strategy. If you can't play within the allowable rules of the game, quit.
But I do have a question if you are trying to not BD. Let's say you go in on any lane and you take out the tower and the rax. Now, about the time the second one (usually ranged) goes down, your last allied creep dies. If the other team isn't in the base defending, is it really a BD if I move on to the next rax or tower?
If you care so much about BD op then you should defend your towers better so you don't have to worry about it.

In the spiritual world a spirit's name is a compilation of the entire history of its existence in a distinct vibrational signature. Unlike the name that is associated with a physical being, a spiritual vibration exists at the quantum level, where spirits can be connected to each other across time and space.
Throughout human history man has handed down family names from generation to generation to essentially describe a person's ancestry. From ancient tribes to entire modern populations, surnames tell a lot about a person's genetic, cultural and family heritage. During the course of my many years of working alongside Leo Jean we have been able to decipher the patterns of vibrations that distinguish different types of spirits. Of course, the two major types of spirits are positive and negative spirits, but from there the distinction grows much more complicated.
As negatively oriented spirits created physical forms there was a tendency to create ever more negative manifestations. Not unlike scary monsters that children report seeing, these incarnate beings exist in the higher dimensional realms. While their intention is not always evident at the physical level, they are very methodical in their approach at higher levels.
Whenever I conduct a 'reading' of a person's vibration to determine their spiritual condition, it is done through the vibration of their written signature. Rather than use the image of a photograph, the written signature bears a much clearer reading of their spirit's vibration, as it eliminates most of the physical interference.
Since I adhere to the positive principle of respecting free will, I never read a person without first asking their permission. Leo has taught me to be careful about making higher level connections, so I'm careful not to entangle myself with someone unnecessarily. When we do quick readings to determine the possibility of working with someone, we must be prepared to properly refuse the influx of negative spirits that are drawn to interfere with our efforts.
A recent reading shows how powerful a signature vibration can be. The lady who requested an initial reading had contracted a rare genetic disease but had no predisposition to it. All I had to do was to put my hand on her signature and ask her to think about the origin of her problem. I could 'see' an event that occurred when she was 14 years old during which a classmate went into convulsions in school. Although she had been perfectly healthy, she was emotionally terrified by what had happened, and two years later she was diagnosed with the same rare condition. What I saw was that the same types of spirits that had caused the illness in her friend had instigated the same disease in her. The woman was shocked because she could barely remember the event and had never associated it with her own illness. Unfortunately, our planet is loaded with malicious spirits whose only intention is to interfere and cause suffering.
Each individual spiritual vibration is like a database loaded with information that reveals so much about the spiritual interference that is present. Those of us who work with a Light*-committed positive spirit transmit a signal that surpasses all negative vibrations and allows us to oppose negative interactions. Very often Leo and I are 'attacked' when we begin to work with someone, especially in the early stages when our clients haven't learned to let go of negative tendencies. Any tampering with a spiritual vibration announces to protective spirits (in a negative sense) that the person is attempting to break negative commitments. We've learned to identify all the vibrations that approach to interfere with us during a reading or healing so that we can effectively help to alleviate/reverse/heal the harmful conditions that we discover in our clients.
A spirit's vibration resonates information about its history, affiliations and commitments throughout the spiritual realm. As someone disentangles from their negative spiritual connections, they are able to absorb more and more positive energy and knowledge of the Light.

Yellow 10
Something about the Champlin Fighter Museum's Focke-Wulf 190D never seemed quite right.
- By Howard Stansfield
- Air & Space magazine, September 2003
SOME AIRPLANES JUST LOOK MEANER THAN OTHERS, and Yellow 10, an ultra-rare German Focke-Wulf 190D-13 fighter, is one of them. With an elongated snout housing a massive inverted V-12 engine, three 20-mm cannon, and perfect knife-like proportions, the "butcher bird," as the Luftwaffe nicknamed it, has always looked as if it would cheerfully go for the throat of any of the other airplanes in its Arizona hangar.
During World War II, D-series 190s—called Doras—could outclimb and outrun anything the Allies put into the air, thanks to a Junkers Jumo 213 E piston engine capable of churning out 2,200 horsepower. (The P-51D Mustang's Merlin V-12, by comparison, could muster only 1,700 hp.) Doras also featured an almost unfathomably complex mechanical "brain box" which allowed their pilots to concern themselves with only a single power lever while their Allied counterparts had to manage separate propeller, mixture, and throttle controls.
For more than two decades, visitors to the Champlin Fighter Museum in Mesa, Arizona, gawked at the dapple-gray Dora without ever realizing that the impressive showpiece was actually a gigantic jumble of mismatched parts. Those in the know had always suspected there was something wrong with Yellow 10 (the name refers to the yellow Luftwaffe squadron number stenciled on its side): The ammo chutes in its wings didn't line up with the armament, and no one could ever quite manage to get the ailerons connected to the control stick in a logical way.
Academics speculated—but could never prove—that the U.S. Air Force was to blame. Immediately after the war, Yellow 10 and a differently armed variant were brought Stateside for testing, and it's thought that when the fighters were crated up in the late 1940s for sale on the surplus market, their wings were accidentally switched.
The effort to correct the mismatch gained impetus two years ago, when museum owner Doug Champlin acquired the first of three demilitarized cannon to install in his Dora. "That was when we decided we either needed to make this wing work, or we needed to switch it," remembers resident museum restorer David Goss.
After years of conversations, the Arizona team finally convinced officials at the U.S. Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio—home of the other Dora, an Fw 190D-9 on long-term loan from the Smithsonian—to swap wings with them. When the wings arrived, they fit Yellow 10 perfectly, solving the mystery of the flight control mismatches. In order for D-13s to accommodate a newly included cannon that fired through the engine and out the fighter's signature holed spinner (earlier versions of the Fw 190 had a machine gun), German engineers were forced to route aileron control tubes further aft in the wings.
The wing switch also helped shed light on Focke-Wulf's construction techniques. When the new wing was flayed open as part of Yellow 10's current restoration, Goss and his crew were treated to the sound of dozens of shims—slivers of metal jammed in the structure to tighten a shoddy fit—cascading loose. Upon further examination, they also discovered hints of an odd process that may have been used to shear a stringer—a thin aluminum spar that runs along the top of the wing—from its metal stock. It's apparent that someone bent the metal back and forth until it broke off, rather than go to the trouble of making a clean cut. The grim explanation: Yellow 10 was largely the handiwork of slaves upon whom German industry increasingly relied as the war dragged on. Seen in this light, the sloppiness takes on significance; maybe snapping off the metal was as much an act of defiance as of expediency.
Goss and Champlin feel all of this history must be preserved. Says Goss: "In 100 years, if someone decides to go looking inside this airplane, we want them to understand how things were done in Germany."
Comments (3)
I'd like to know if Yellow 10 is also now with the rest of the exhibit in Seattle. I also read that it might possibly be for sale and would like to know more about that. Is there a website that I can go to to learn more about the sale? Thanks Don Bowman

While searching the web for articles on my favorite WWII fighter,the FW190D,your article from a 2001 issue surfaced.Back in the early-eighties,my wife,daughter and I decided to take advantage of Eastern air lines weekend flyer program and take a trip from our home in Austell Georgia to Phoenix to see the Grand Canyon. After the trip to the canyon,we had some time to stop by the Champlin fighter museum. It was shear happenstance that we did this. I still remember walking through the display area and seeing this machine. I had a flash back to my teenage years in Hapeville Georgia where a similiar plane was subject to my frequent visits after school. It sat on its belly in a weedy lot behind a flower shop two blocks from my home gradually deteriorating.I and my like minded buddies speculated on where it came from and what was it doing here. After reading the placard in front of the restored machine in Arizona, I saw that it had come from Atlanta.I knew now where the machine had gone while I was off at college in the late sixties. Seeing it restored to like new condition caused considerable exitement.I think my next stop will be to Seattle to reaquaint myself with the Dora. Maybe I will be able to catch an engine runup.

This fact sheet is not intended to be a legal document nor to replace legal advice and consultation. Use this document as a basic guide to navigate liability and risk management issues in higher education service-learning experiences. Be sure to contact a legal advisor at your academic institution for other pertinent information.
Risk management is "the formal process by which an organization establishes its risk management goals and objectives, identifies and analyzes its risks, and selects and implements measures to address its risks in an organized fashion" (Young and Tomski, 2002). Today's risk management process encompasses more than just insurance, work safety and health and legal liability management. It also includes an ongoing and complex process of evaluating and minimizing inherent, enduring organizational risks—in this case, those of the academic institution, students, community agencies, community members, and others involved in the service-learning experience. To avoid health and legal liability, risk management procedures need to be considered before starting any service-learning experience. This fact sheet provides background information and describes a systematic approach to establishing a safe, minimal risk environment for all participants: students, faculty, supervisors, transporters, community agency representatives, and others. Additional information and resources are available at the NSLC Topic page on Risk Management: www.servicelearning.org/topic/theory-practice/risk-management.
Risk management is an ongoing process that requires responsiveness to evolving governmental and workplace laws and regulations. You may be concerned about how the risk management process affects community partners and students in terms of perceptions of personal risk. You may also be wondering how to manage risks without stereotyping the communities and unnecessarily frightening students or perpetuating negative or false images of these communities. If all participants are adequately informed, involved, and oriented, the risk management process will strengthen community-campus partnerships by furthering mutual trust and understanding.
Getting started - Become informed, learn from others
Start by inquiring about the policies and procedures that may already be in place on your campus: does your campus have a risk management policy for community-based educational experiences, for community service, or for clinical placements? To avoid duplication of effort, be sure to consult with administrators and faculty in other schools and departments on your campus that have an existing service-learning or community-based learning program in place. If your campus has an Office of Service-Learning or related office, consult with them as well. Learn from their stories of both successes and challenges involved in managing risks and avoiding liability. When available, request pertinent documents—such as student and agency orientation materials, consent forms, university-agency agreement forms, liability policies—to review as templates for your program.
In general, the more the service-learning environment is sanctioned by the academic institution, the greater the potential for liability to the academic institution. Conversely, the less the service-learning environment is sanctioned by the academic institution, the greater the potential for liability to the participating students and agency. For example, if the student does community service on his or her own—outside the scope of a credit-bearing course or official campus program—the student is probably not covered by the institution's liability insurance. In either scenario, it is important to create signed agreements that clarify the liability insurance coverage provided by the community partner and the academic institution involved in service-learning. Be sure to check your state's requirements; for example, worker's compensation insurance may be required by state law. Worker's compensation for students is often the responsibility of the academic institution if the service-learning experience is a requirement.
Although it is critical to have some form of liability insurance coverage at both the community agency and the academic institution, financial losses will only be an issue if an adverse event occurs—the ultimate goal is to prevent any adverse occurrences. It is not just financial losses that are at stake; one must also consider prevention of other losses, including loss of trust and mutual understanding in community-campus relations, which is the foundation of a successful partnership.
Liability prevention involves the systematic identification, analysis, measurement and reduction of risks. It encompasses several aspects of the service-learning experience, including the community agency (e.g., slipping on a wet stairway), product or service delivery (e.g., quality of care provided), transportation (e.g., motor vehicle accident), and worker's compensation, among others. An example of risk prevention includes training students in safe needle disposal before working in health clinics. An example of risk reduction includes assuring that gloves are available for student use in health care environments, or a review of emergency response procedures, such as fire exits.
If an adverse event occurs that involves legal intervention, consider the following:
- Injury to student in service-learning experience: typically, medical costs are paid through workers' compensation when the students' injuries resulted while he/she was providing service within the scope of the SL experience
- Injury to someone else by student or faculty in service-learning experience: in this case, there is the possibility of litigation…anybody involved in the situation could be named as a defendant, including the student, the academic institution, the faculty member, or the community agency. The academic institution would defend and indemnify the student and the faculty if each were operating within the scope of their student or faculty roles.
Risk management is an ongoing process that requires continuous revision in response to changing governmental and workplace policies. To assure sustainability of your community-campus partnership, adequate planning, orientation, and continual evaluation are essential. Furthermore, involving all stakeholders from the community and the campus in the risk management process will assure a safe, trusting, and enjoyable service-learning experience.
Conduct a risk and liability assessment
Minimizing potential risks to all service-learning participants requires adequate time for planning and orientation. Conduct a thorough review of potential risks before embarking upon the service-learning experience. Discuss your questions and concerns with your community agency partners and campus colleagues. This assessment might include such questions as:
- What are the potential risks to service-learners of having contact with agency clients? For example, are clients likely to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol? What policies and procedures are in place at the agency to protect their staff, volunteers and service-learners from risks due to contact with agency clients? Will students ever work unsupervised with clients?
- What are the potential risks to service-learners of traveling to and from their homes, the campus, and the agency? For example, what is the rate of various crimes in the immediate and general vicinities of the agency? How and during what times of day will students travel to and from the campus, their homes and their service-learning sites? Is parking provided? Is public transportation accessible? Are escorts needed or provided for staff, volunteers, or service-learners to safely travel from the agency to public transportation, parking lot, etc.?
- What are the potential risks to agency staff and clients of having student service-learners on-site, and how might they be minimized? What are the existing requirements for staff and volunteers at the agency? For example, do they need to be fingerprinted, have criminal background checks, and be tested for tuberculosis or other communicable diseases?
- How is risk and liability insurance provided to cover service-learners? Does the community agency cover insurance for liability, worker's compensation, volunteers? Does the university?
- How is confidentiality of students, agency staff, and clients assured? Are there policies in place for confidentiality? Are pictures or video allowed?
The components of a risk management program
Under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Voluntary Safety and Health Program Management Guidelines (1989) an effective occupational safety and health program includes four essential elements: 1) management commitment and employee involvement; 2) work-site examinations to identify existing hazards as well as conditions and operations in which changes might occur to create hazards; 3) hazard prevention control; and 4) safety and health training. OSHA's experience in the Voluntary Protection Program has illustrated that effective management of safety and health protection improves employee morale and productivity, as well as significantly reduces workers' compensation costs and other less obvious costs of work-related injuries and illnesses. Visit OSHA for more information.
With these points in mind, consider having the following policies, procedures, and processes in place for your service-learning program:
- Site Visits
Visit with your community partner and talk through the questions posed above. Visit the community settings and organizations that your students are likely to be in during their service-learning experience. Visit these settings and organizations when your students are there, to gain first-hand knowledge of the situations in which they are serving and learning. Meet with your community partners after the service-learning experience has ended, to "debrief" about the experience from the risk management and liability standpoints - what would you do differently next time? - Supervision
Having adequate supervision on-site and in the community - whether an agency staff member, volunteer, campus faculty or campus staff - will help to create a safe environment for service-learning. Be sure that direct supervisors are oriented to risk management and liability issues, in part to assure that the policies of your academic institution and the community partner are being adhered to. - Orientation
Risk management and liability issues should be covered in your program's orientation for participating students, faculty, and community partners. Students should be made aware of risks associated with service-learning, but they should be presented in context so as not to unduly frighten or intimidate students from participating. It can be helpful to involve students who have previously completed the service-learning experience as speakers during the orientation. Students often feel more comfortable about the situation if they hear about the positive experiences of other students. It is especially important to spend time orienting and training students in safety procedures, potential dangers, and the risk management policies of your school and community partners. Time spent here can help avoid future problems by bringing potential problems to the attention of participants. When orienting students and community partners, provide a summary handout or handbook with checklists, appropriate forms, and emergency contact information. - Communication
Open, frequent, and clear lines of communication are key to reducing risks in service-learning. For example, your community partners and your students should know whom to contact at the campus should any questions or emergencies arise in the course of the service-learning experience. Frequent communication with your community partners should help to identify any issues or concerns and to address them early in the process. - Transportation
Campuses will often state that they are not liable for students getting to and from community sites in an informed consent form. When the vehicle is either university-owned or operated, or community agency-owned or operated, these practices can minimize risks to both student and driver: screen all drivers, follow safety precautions, develop and implement training for all drivers, ensure all vehicles are safe (with appropriate maintenance schedules), provide policies for passenger behavior. When using public transportation, determine the risks of bus, train, subway, walking, etc. and take actions to minimize these risks (e.g., by organizing car pools, pairing students who travel by bus together to the site). - Risk Management Policy and Procedures Manual
We recommend developing a risk management policies and procedures manual that contains these documents:- Mission, goals, and objectives of the service-learning program.
- Mission, goals, and objectives of the risk management program
- Relevant policies and procedures: for example, liability policies, sexual harassment policies, human subjects protection policies, campus or community vehicle policy, state and federal laws and regulations.
- Contact information for campus and community partner staff dedicated to the process of risk management and liability.
- List of approved service-learning and volunteer placements with contact information, highlighting any site-specific forms that need to be completed (i.e., fingerprinting, background checks).
- Service-learning agreement or contract. This form should explicitly state the legal roles and responsibilities of community and campus participants engaged in service-learning.
- Student-related documents: a checklist of forms that students need to review and/or complete, and copies of those forms. For example, waiver, permission, and informed consent forms. Informed consent forms should provide clear, explicit information about the possible dangers of the service-learning experience, should be obtained in writing and kept on file. A good informed consent procedure can minimize the possibility of a claim alleging that the harmed party would not have participated in the experience had s/he been better informed of the risks (Tremper & Kostin, 1997).
- Community partner—related documents: A checklist of forms that community partners need to review and/or complete, and copies of those forms. For example, service-learning contracts, memoranda of understanding, certificate of liability insurance, log to keep track of student hours and participation on-site.
- "Do's and don'ts" safety and risk management tips for service learners—a list ideally developed collaboratively by representatives of both the community and campus. "Do's and don't" might include, for example, do not give agency staff or clients a ride in a personal vehicle, do not engage in any type of business with clients during the term of your service, do not give or loan a client money or other personal belonging.
- Loss Reporting File
Often overlooked, this file should include records of accidents, safety violations, training and orientation sessions and participant sign-up sheets. It also should include any relevant maintenance schedules (e.g., for campus vans used to transport service-learning students), reports of recommended corrective actions, claims reports, and so forth. Having this resource available can serve to diminish future violations and/or injury. - Special considerations for international service-learning experiences
Although many of the above-mentioned issues also apply in international settings, there are some additional issues to consider. For example, students must adhere to health and safety requirements related to the country they will be visiting; there may be vaccines or prophylactic medications required before entry. The pre-travel orientation should include such information as local customs and laws, contact information for the U.S. embassy in the country, medical services available and plans for communicating regularly with the school while on-site.

Wonderful Small 1080p tvPros: Sharp image, good sound (for mini speakers you can shove in an inch wide tv anyway) Cons: TV Sometimes doesn't turn off on its own. It'll just sit saying "auto-shutoff in a few minutes" for days if you let it. So, don't leave it on. Other Thoughts: I spent a few months using this as a 3rd monitor for my work machine (throw up netflix while working, or some of the visual stuff I do) and it was a joy to use at ~2 feet viewing distance. Then it became the main TV in my apartment when my roommate moved out, and has been great for that as well. Did you find this review helpful? |
Not the best LED panelPros: The price wasn't bad. Energy efficient. Cons: Had to return to Newegg. Half the screen was black, the other was a gradient of black to grey. Very noticeable bright "V" at the bottom of the screen. When using the VGA hooked up to a PC, the screen would flicker a bit on white backgrounds. Other Thoughts: Rather than RMA for another, I got a refund. Read a few reviews around the web with the same issues. Did you find this review helpful? |

I had a chance to take a Willamette Jet Boat tour last Sunday. My son loved the fast speed of the boat and, of course, he loved when the driver made us spin out. Yes, we got a little wet but not as wet as the poor passengers a few rows back. But what most impressed me was all the information that came along with the trip. I've lived here 13 years now and had no idea all the history and industry you can still find along the river. You can see remnants of the old ferry system that connected both sides of Portland and petroglyphics left behind by Native Americans down by Willamette Falls. You can also see exactly where workers were Shanghai'd from an all night bender only to wake up on ships miles out at sea. You can also see the remains of too many closed up factories and stories of too many jobs lost to China. What an education. Two hours on the river flew by on a beautiful fall day. The bad news is, it was the last ride of the season. If this sounds good to you, check it out next spring. Just keep "Willamette Jet Boat" on your to-do list. It was really worth it.
PS--They did not pay me to say this. :)

Remembering Ryan Stowers; Northwestern 3-on-3 tournament dedicated to memory of Poplar athlete
The following is another "Have Fun or Get Out of the Way" column by award-winning Don Leighton and Mike Granlund and their alter egos, Lance Boyle and Billy Pirkola, which runs occasionally in The Superior Telegram.By: By Mike Granlund, For the Superior Telegram, Superior Telegram
Ryan Stowers loved basketball. And Ryan Stowers was very good at playing basketball.
As a member of the Poplar Wolves traveling team, Ryan was an outstanding ball handler and sharpshooter for Coach Kevin Orme.
Ryan's love for basketball came naturally. His father, Mike Stowers, is a native of basketball-rich Indiana and has been a volunteer youth coach in Poplar for many years. Ryan's mom, Jacqe, is married to Mike Phillips, a longtime area hoopster who is an instrumental organizer of the Tony G 3-on-3 held annually at UW-Superior.
Ryan completed eighth grade last year and had dreams of playing for the Northwestern Tigers. Most thought it was just a matter of time before he became a big part of the varsity program.
Those dreams ended on a summer day last August when a tragic accident took Ryan from this world. Family, teammates and friends were stunned by the loss of such an talented, intelligent and thoughtful young man.
An emotional celebration of Ryan's life gave the community a chance to pay respects to Ryan and show the family support during a time of great sorrow. Hearts continue to ache since that fateful day, but the knowledge that Ryan is in a better place serves as a temporary respite from the anguish of his absence.
In an effort to keep the memory of Ryan alive, the 18th annual Northwestern 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament this weekend in Maple will be dedicated to the memory of Ryan Stowers.
Ryan enjoyed playing in the tournament, as he usually got together with his younger brother, Riley, and Alex Tecker, Steve Kastern and Logan Moreau to form a team. They definitely were competitive, but more than that, they were having a good time with the game they loved.
Northwestern 3-on-3 Tournament T-shirts and medals will have "Remember Ryan Stowers" printed on them in a tribute to the fallen athlete. Proceeds from the tournament help fund the Poplar Wolves Youth Basketball teams, which include players from fifth grade through high school. Action takes place Saturday and Sunday at Northwestern High School, and the public is invited.

This is a replay of (played by me) dominating his foes. End stats: 13/2
Match id: 20873092
Items: Portal Key, Steam Boots, Behemothsheart, Bracer, Blood Chalice & Helmet of Legion.
Go for chalice, regen and two totems to beging with. Farm your steamies and helmet, then go straight for PK. After this much is up to you. I would go for Behemoths (as in video) because it buffs your ultimate. Frostburn is also actually good on this beast
22 - 1 - 19 as . No need for portal here. It was extremely low tier but it shows a good tank build for moraxus without portal...went for challice, ghosts, nullstone, behe-heart, barbed, sac stone. But the nullstone did the trick. Endless mana to spam axe throw is awesome
I'd rather consider Shrunken than NS, ofc depends on Lineup.
If enemy has some crazy Pyro, Mag or whutever AoE Stunners, nearly EVERYONE wastes stuff on you. (Not in 1800 ofc but nearly up to)
Barbed should solve many Mana probs!
Yes it is it gives you an entire 2 extra axe throws. Lol.
No realy, nullstone seemed to help me alot. I also once went for nomes wisdom when i we had a dc who had ring of teacher [in a diferent game]. Also helps with mana and gives ehp throughout game, while also benefing ze team.
try shroud I guarantee you get like 4-5 ults off before they get blue wards
they wont have the money, because you raped them to get the shroud

I want to see what changes have been made to the directory structure/folders/files on my disk from two different periods .. before & after some event. Sure, UltraCompare will point out differences in two separate directory list files, but can UC be used to create the two files in the first place? Yes, I'm interested in the files' paths, full names and all their attributes.
1) Day 1: make a complete list of the disk's folders & files: list1.txt
2) Day 2: make another complete list of the disk's folders & files: list2.txt
3) Differences? Use UC to identify the differences .. yeah! nice job!
Will UC create the lists in the first place? What's the best tool to use for that, some variant of the DOS DIR command? The OpSys is Windows XP Pro.
