International Students Organization
The student-run International Students Organization (ISO) provides support to all International Students in the form of friendship, understanding and social support. The organization schedules trips and events, and also acts as advocates for the International Students on campus.
Our International Culture Exchange, better known as ICE, is a program in which American students have the chance to experience different cultures in authentic settings.
The International Cultural Exchange Program arranges trips and events in which International and American students come together to learn about their cultural differences and similarities. These trips often include but are not limited to the countries of our students' nationalities.
International students from Centenary act as leaders and tour guides sharing their cultures by guiding their American counterparts in the exploration of the sights, sounds, foods and shopping in such neighborhoods as Chinatown, Korean town, and various other cultural communities within the New York metropolitan area. Through their efforts, the groups experience the target culture in a unique atmosphere.
Two days before each trip, an "orientation" meeting is held to acquaint participants with common practices, expressions, and foods of the target culture.
Some of the highlights of the trips are the wonderful meals shared in authentic ethnic restaurants, as well as having opportunities to learn new cultural customs from international students.
ICE is committed to promoting cultural understanding and acceptance among the diverse population of Centenary College and its surrounding community.

Last Updated: April 13, 2009
No matter where you turn, it's becoming inevitable. You will need resources to pay for all your health care costs in retirement. The average 65-year old couple retiring in 2009 would need about $240,000 to cover the cost of medical care in retirement, according to a recent Fidelity Investment report. What's worse, the estimate does not include the cost of long-term health care. Meanwhile, the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College reports that the retirement landscape is shifting dramatically and that the outlook for retiring Baby Boomers and Generation Xers is far less optimistic than for current retirees.
"Nearly 45 percent of households are "at risk" of not having enough to maintain their living standards in retirement," according to the Center's The National Retirement Risk Index (NRRI). What's worse, percent of households "at risk" increases to 64 percent when health care costs and long-term health care insurance are factored into the Index.
"Because the costs of long-term care insurance and other health expenditures are rising and the income system is contracting, these latest findings raise major concerns about the retirement security of baby boomers and succeeding generations," Alicia H. Munnell, director of the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College, said in a release.
"Managing the cost of long-term care is becoming an essential part of financial and retirement planning," FPA member, Peter Golato, senior vice president for Nationwide, said in a release. "Fortunately, financial professionals have a myriad of financial products available that can be customized as part of a strategy to help them meet their client's financial goals."
It's important to note that Medicare and ordinary health care insurance are not designed to cover long-term care expenses. According to the American Council of Life Insurers, 48 percent of Americans are paying out of pocket, 41 percent qualify for Medicaid, 8 percent are getting temporary coverage provided by Medicare and only 3 percent are paying with private long-term care insurance.
So what are some strategies to pay for long-term health care? According to the Center for Retirement Research: "For those in the bottom third of the wealth distribution (those with assets not including their home of less than $20,000), the most reasonable strategy (to pay for long-term care costs) is to rely on Medicaid. Medicaid is, according to Kaiser Family Foundation, the nation's largest health care coverage program. It covers 59 million low-income individuals, including children and families, people with disabilities and the elderly who are also covered by Medicare. Medicaid is also the dominant source of the country's long-term care financing." Learn more about Medicaid.
Those in the top third of the wealth distribution – those with assets not including their homes of $200,000 or more – may be able to self-insure, but more likely they will need to either purchase long-term care insurance or rely on tapping their housing equity to pay for long-term care, according to the Center for Retirement Research. Various Web sites can provide information about the costs associated with long-term care, including home health aides, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities. Those include MetLife and Genworth. Determining the cost of long-term health care insurance can, however, be a bit of a challenge. Much of it depends on the specifics of the policy, your age and other factors. According to the 2008 Long-Term Care Insurance Price Index published by the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, a 55-year-old individual considering long-term care insurance protection can expect to pay $709 per year for a base level of protection if they are married or $1,095 if they are single. Learn more about the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance.
In general, Shawn Britt, director of advanced sales for Nationwide Financial Services, Inc., said the public is not properly educated on the need for long-term care (LTC) or the options available to them. So it would be worth your time learning more about this insurance. "The cost can be enormous and self-insuring, even for the affluent, could wipe out significant assets," Britt said.
In addition to traditional, stand-alone long-term care insurance products, Golato also said there are hybrid products. "For a reasonable cost, a long-term care rider can be added to certain life insurance policies, which allows for the death benefit to be collected to help pay for long-term care costs," he said in a release. "Any unused death benefit will be paid to the heirs."
Golato also noted that there's a little-known incentive in the Pension Protection Act of 2006 that is worth investigating. "Starting Jan. 1, 2010, this legislation allows for the tax-free 1035 exchange from life insurance, annuities or endowment policies to a stand-alone long-term care policy," he said in a release. "If using these funds to pay for a long-term care policy, there will be no tax due on the gain from these assets."
Meanwhile, those in the middle third of the wealth distribution – those who have assets not including their home that range from $22,000 to about $200,000 – might benefit from long-term care insurance, but may find the price tag too steep, suggesting that they will plan to fall back on Medicaid if their assets are exhausted, the Center for Retirement Research reported.
What else do you need to know about long-term care costs?
For starters, there's plenty you can do to reduce the odds of needing long-term care, such as assisted living or nursing homes. According to FPA member Golato, living a healthly life today– a proper diet, regular exercise and check-ups– can greatly reduce medical costs in retirement. Taking advantage of health and wellness benefits offered by your employer can also be of great benefit.
In addition, saving more and working longer may substantially improve the outlook, the Center for Retirement Research said in its report. Learn more about the Center's National Retirement Risk Index.
Also, it's important for you to discuss the potential need for long-term care with a financial professional, who can help guide you toward a product that best suits you specific needs and concerns, Britt said. "Options are confusing, rules are changing, costs are becoming less affordable and coverage is getting harder to obtain," she said. "Financial, retirement and estate planning should include a serious look at long-term care needs."

NORTHAMPTON -- A Pittsfield woman and an Albany, N.Y., man were arraigned in Northampton District Court today on crack trafficking charges.
The pair was arrested Thursday after members of Berkshire County Drug Task Force (BCDTF) say they found $8,440, or 84 grams, of crack-cocaine inside the vehicle they'd been driving.
Stephanie Carsno, 28, of Pittsfield and Shawn Davis, 27, of Albany, N.Y., are each charged with single counts trafficking in cocaine and conspiracy to violate the controlled substance act.
Bail was set at $1,000 and $2,000, respectively, and neither Carsno nor Davis had been released as of Friday afternoon. They are being held at Hampshire County Jail in Northampton.
According to reports, the arrests resulted from a joint BCDTF-Springfield Police Department Narcotics Unit investigation "into the trafficking of crack-cocaine from Springfield into Berkshire County and the distribution of crack-cocaine in Berkshire County."
Investigating officers stopped Carsno and Davis while traveling through Cummington on Route 9 at approximately 3:30 p.m. Thursday.

David Aris
David belongs to: The Doxford Engine Friends Association
David was born in Sunderland. He served his apprenticeship at North East Marine shipyards as a fitter. After working at sea David became an Assistant Manager at Doxford's ship yard overseeing the installation and testing of Doxford engines.
David was interviewed by Carl Greenwood on 8 November 2005. The interview took place at the Interviewee's living room and lasted 1 hour, 36 minutes and 40 seconds.
Apprenticeship at North East Marine
"Well, you started work at, you worked five and a half days, five days a week and Saturday morning was not over time, Saturday morning was Saturday morning"
Well, you started work at, you worked five and a half days, five days a week and Saturday morning was not over time, Saturday morning was Saturday morning. And you started work at half past seven and you finished work at half past five and I went by my bike- I used to bicycle to work, morning and night, and it certainly, if work was very busy in the factory, building the engines, billing the steam engines, you worked night shift on every third week, you would work night shift.
And if you were, the company was very keen on education and they really pressed apprentices to do night classes and get national certificates and things like this, and took the fact that they actually paid them a little bit more and they gave prizes and things, and the better apprentices took this up of course, but the lazy ones didnt bother too much and the only, the only concession you were given to that was if you were going to night classes, you were allowed to leave the factory 15 minutes earlier than everybody else. You lost 15 minutes pay, of course, but you were allowed to go earlier so you got on the bus quicker and you could get out of the docks before the crowd, you see.
So, and I used to do night classes three times a week, and if you were on night shift, you would go to night classes in the evening, and you would come out of night classes at half past nine, go home, have your supper, put your boiler suit on, go down and work at night from half past 10 to half past seven, something like that.
We were building steam engine- triple expansion steam engines and an apprentice would be apprentice to one particular fitter- he would work with that one fitter, and I was with a fellow called Bob, Bob Wandless and we, our job, between this fitter and myself, we built all the pistons- the pistons, the piston rings and the pistons would come out of the machine shop and we would fit all the studs, and scrape it all, and fit it and fit the piston rings and then eventually fit the piston into the engine in the erecting shop here. Other apprentices might be doing shafting or they might be doing bearings or connecting rods.
You moved around- you didnt do the same job all the time- it was a five year apprenticeship, so you would move around doing different jobs but I was always in the erecting shop. Other apprentices might have been in the machine shop, or the valve shop, or something like that, because the factory didnt just build steam engines, it built everything that was in the, everything that was in the ships engine room, including the boilers.
So that was the five years, having said that I didnt really put the whole five years in because doing the night classes again, I suppose I worked hard and I got good results and I was offered a scholarship by Durham University. And the company gave me permission to, you know, at the time that you were doing this apprentice, being at college counted, it was like equivalent, so I did that and well, it was three year degree course in those days, it became a four year degree course later on, but it was a three year degree course.
And as time went by, when I got to the final year, I had finished my apprenticeship- they didnt quite link together, so I had to finish my apprenticeship before I finished getting my degree, so I had another year to go. And so I thought well, rather than go back to the factory and work as a fitter, Ill try and go to sea and get a little bit of time in. And I opted to look for a job as an engineer on the coast, just up and down the North Sea coast not far from home because I had to come back and do the final academic year.

Both exotic and classic, Wales-born actress Catherine Zeta-Jones began acting as a child. By ten she was part of the Catholic congregation's performing troupe, and by 18 she was performing professionally in the West End. It was in there that she caught the eye of French director Philippe de Broca, who offered her the lead in his film Les 1001 Nuits in 1989. After traveling to France to film the movie, she returned to Britain, where she landed a starring role in the Yorkshire Television comedy drama series The Darling Buds of May, based on a series of novels by H.E. Bates. The show was a huge hit, and made Zeta-Jones one of the U.K.'s most popular TV actresses. After the series ended in 1993, she steadily found work playing lead roles in TV movies and miniseries such as Catherine the Great and The Cinder Path. She also played supporting roles small films, including Christopher Columbus: The Discovery and Splitting Heirs.
The big screen role that undoubtedly put Zeta-Jones on the map, however, came in 1998 when she was cast opposite Anthony Hopkins and Antonio Banderas in 1998's The Mask of Zorro. America was enchanted by the dark-haired actress' charisma and beauty, and she began to be offered better and better roles in American film. She starred in films like Entrapment, The Haunting, and High Fidelity, before taking the prominent role of a white-collar drug kingpin's wife in 2000, in Steven Soderbergh's treatise on the drug war, Traffic. Her performance was impressive to critics and audiences, many of whom felt that she deserved an Oscar nomination.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South African police and security guards fired rubber bullets and tear gas Monday at sacked gold miners who were attacking colleagues to block them from working, the mine owner said. Police said four people were wounded at the mine that used to be partially owned by the president's nephew.
The clash at the Gold Fields mine east of Johannesburg, reported by police and Neal Froneman, the CEO of Gold One International, was the latest violence to hit South Africa's mines in months of unrest.
Company spokesman Sven Lunsche said some 12,000 of the company's workers "continue to engage in an unlawful and unprotected strike" that began Wednesday. He said it involved an internal dispute between local union leaders and members of the National Union of Mineworkers, the country's largest union.

Makeover: After a fire, a fresh look and open floor plan
One night in 2010, Charleen and William McCarrick woke to find their house burning down around them. The couple and their three teenage children escaped safely, but the Kings Park house was ruined. The event gave the family a chance to experience the generosity of their neighbors. One was designer Therese A. Pomerenk, who had just graduated from the New York School of Design in Manhattan and offered her services for free. "I was so overwhelmed," says Charleen McCarrick. Previously, the living room, dining room and kitchen were separate. Pomerenk suggested an open floor plan. It took two years, but the McCarricks are finally back in their home. Total: About $35,000 (Pomerenk's fee for a makeover of this type would have been $2,800; construction costs and kitchen remodel were paid directly through an insurance company.) — SYLVIA E.

Beautiful! But I think it needs a bigger tailpiece
Hate to be a drag, but this mandolin looks really awkward to me. Tailpiece is totally out of scale and the fingerboard extension is just pointless... may the gods please tell me why people insist on these ridiculous, scooped, fretless extensions...
Michael...Brilliant as always! Makes me jealous.
Glassweb...Because we like them. Different strokes for different folks. I think they add to the instrument and its jazz retro feel.
Have a Great Day!
Joe Vest
Sure Big Joe, that's why we both play Gibson F5s! I love some of Michael's other designs, but this is all wrong to me aesthetically speaking. The pickguard, the headstock... ah well, each to his/her own I guess.
Brazilian sides and back, mahogany neck, and engelmann spruce top (I think)... The tail piece is a work of art on its own... Does not inhibit playing at all... The bound f holes are an added bonus... A striking mando if I do say so.My Webpage
Frank Solivan II http://franksolivanii.com
Perhaps so that you're allowed to change your mind and have it un-scooped by just replaceing the fretboard. Looking at both of my (scooped) mandolins there is supporting maple underneath the extension so if I simply cut it off there could be no reversing it.
Personally I like it. Then again, the last time I was at IBMA (2004) Michael had IMHO two of the best mandolins in the whole show.

Hey, what the hell do I know... most of the response here seems to be positive! Play on!
Glassweb, I can name a lot of things that I don't like that other people do. Some of them really bewilder me as the extension does you. I figure I will have to accept that some (in some cases maybe even most) people don't like everything the way I do. I am not even sure that the f-style is my favorite design although some of them sure do look good.
I guess since I am posting in a thread about a Lewis mandolin I could say something about it.
I think Mr. Lewis is an incredible luthier and while I would have some different appointments on the instrument if it were mine it is a stunning instrument.
Bill Snyder
Michael defintely pushes the envelope from a design perspective, but I think his instruments look great. The fact that other builders hold him in such high regard speaks volumes about his work.

That's a beautiful back. I just started a thread asking about mandolins with rosewood, so on that note, how does this one sound? Specifically, what do you think the rosewood adds to the sound as opposed to maple (and what made you choose rosewood)?
Hope you enjoy the mandolin, as I'm sure you will.
Just a heads up... Michael Lewis does make exceptional Loar type replicas for the trads out there. This mandolin above will stand up to any others I have ever played... including a number of Loars. Just sayin' is all... His archtop guitars are pieces of art too... the few flattops he's made are reminiscent of the tone of late thirties Martins... anyhow... If you have an opportunity to to check out his website and/or shoot him an email... here you go:
Michael Lewis website
Frank Solivan II http://franksolivanii.com
Well, late to the party again I guess. That is nothing new. Wow folks, thanks for your confidence.
The back and sides are as Frank stated, old Brazilian rosewood. I think I have enough more to make 3 or 4 mandolins, and will start one next Summer for Scott Gates.
In response to Glassweb, no offense meant, but just because I can. When I make instruments that have not been specifically ordered by or for some one I can take some artistic license if the mood strikes. On the other hand, when I make an instrument for an order I follow the design of what is ordered. Sometimes I make very traditional instruments on spec just because. As a maker I enjoy the freedom to push the boundries of design once in a while. In regard to the scooped fingerboard extension, the F model is a very visual design and by scooping the fingerboard instead of cutting it off the visual element is retained and more access to the strings is gained.
Beautiful mandolin. Love that headstock and inlay. The huge tailpiece is a bit much for me, but regardless, it does give it a unique look. I like the color of the pick-guard too!
Nice work Michael!
"The more I learn, the more I realize how ignorant I truly am..."
Yes, I like it too, and that tailpiece reminds me: I need to buy a pancake flipper

Alyson Hannigan: Band Camp Babe
Alyson Hannigan has forever changed the way we look at band camp and flutes. Seriously, have you been able to go to a parade and not snicker when a marching band goes by since seeing American Pie? Even though the thirty-seven year old actress has had memorable roles in over a dozen movies and spent six years on both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and How I Met Your Mother, we think about that line from American Pie every time we see her on screen. Alyson will be reprising her role as Michelle in the upcoming American Reunion. If you want to find out some more "instrumental" secrets about Alyson Hannigan, you can follow her on Twitter.

October is especially busy for radiologist Sheryl Siegmund-Weekly.
Because it's breast cancer awareness month, more women are getting their mammograms, said Siegmund-Weekly, who works at at Avera St. Luke's Hospital.
The mammogram X-ray produces images of the breast to check for cancer.
"Anything we can do to get the screening process started is always helpful," she said.
Sanford Aberdeen Medical Center is also trying to make it easier for women to get mammograms by offering a weekend clinic Oct. 27.
Sanford, which opened the doors of its new hospital in the third week of June, has offered mammographies at the Sanford Aberdeen Clinic since 2007, but with the opening of the hospital, Sanford upgraded its previous mammogram machine.
Compared to the previous unit, Sanford's new mammography machine offers a better quality image, said Katie Liedel, account manager with Hologic, the company that manufactures the machine.
In addition, the unit has the capacity to offer 3-D mammography exams if Sanford chooses to in the future, Liedel said.
Sanford Aberdeen doesn't offer the 3-D mammogram yet, and Bob Hagen, director of imaging and radiology for Sanford Medical Center, said the hospital will determine when the time is right.
The machine also has ergonomic paddles that make mammograms more comfortable, Liedel said.
"If they've had a mammogram at Sanford Aberdeen in the past, they may very well find it is a more comfortable mammogram," she said.
St. Luke's has offered mammography services since the technology was first introduced in the 1970s, said Lee Ann Tople, director of diagnostics and therapeutic services.
The hospital uses the GE Senographe Essential, which produces one of the lowest radiation doses of a mammography machine, she said.
"Annually, we're surveyed by the state Department of Health, and when he comes in, he measures the radiation output of the mammography unit," she said. "And he's impressed that the dose that's coming through the machine is the lowest he's seen in the state."
St. Luke's offers a double reading of mammograms where two radiologists look at each image, Tople said.
"I think it really proves our accuracy because (the two doctors) either agree or disagree," Siegmund-Weekly said. "To have two sets of eyes looking at each (image) is an advantage."
A mammogram detects tumors or microcalcifications, either of which can be a sign of breast cancer, according to the National Cancer Institute. If something abnormal is detected, a biopsy is performed to see if it is cancerous.
At St. Luke's, if needed, a stereotactic biopsy is performed to determine if there is cancer.
The stereotactic form of a biopsy is a less invasive procedure that takes about an hour, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. The procedure involves the patient lying awake, facedown on a table while her breast is held down. A small incision is made over the breast, and a needle is guided to the location to collect tissue samples. St. Luke's also offers other types of biopsies for breast cancer.
Sanford's program offers an ultrasound biopsy procedure. The procedure involves the patient lying face up while the doctor makes an incision on the breast and uses an ultrasound machine to guide the needle over the area that needs to be biopsied, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
Scheduling mammograms
• At Sanford Aberdeen Medical Center, call 605-626-4350 to make an appointment from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Fridays and 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Thursdays. Sanford will also have a weekend clinic from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 27 by appointment only.
• At Avera St. Luke's, call 605-622-5556 to make an appointment from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.

When I read the headline in last Wednesday's paper, "Local skepticism, opposition greet gambling bill" I eagerly read Trevor Baratko's article to find out what the greater community was thinking.
Wake up, citizens of Camden! Do you have any clue what Mayor Jeffrey Graham and city council are doing? Probably not, we would all be at the council meetings protesting.
I attended a funeral this week and after the coffin was closed for the last time and the family was preparing to enter, the funeral director had to announce to those in attendance to be careful to obey all traffic laws because there would be no police escort as there had been in the past.
A common political tactic to increase spending is to use DUI fatalities and the victims' families to take more money from taxpayers.
I wish to congratulate Christina Stokes on a great column on purity in the March 4 edition of the Chronicle-Independent.
OK, the sheriff told me he was a Constitutionalist but yet he allows his deputies to enforce unconstitutional laws. But, hey, maybe he doesn't understand the whole concept of due process. But wait a minute. Isn't it his duty to understand what he has sworn an oath to uphold?
Our tax code should be simplified. "Experts" have been saying taxes must be reduced to equal revenue, and then some, to deal with our trillion dollar debt. They are also saying we must reduce all expenditure by $40 billion, $6 billion, etc., and the way to accomplish this is to cut all expenditures as compared to previous expenses (both state and federal) by eliminating redundancies, duplications, and overlap. This is "water over ...
Credit card companies have long found their bread and butter in penalty fees and high interest rates paid by consumers.
I applaud Christina Stokes, Camden High School columnist, for her article stating that purity is a beautiful quality. Hopefully her speaking out will be the catalyst for many others to make the choice to remain pure in their lives.
Our news media is so full of negatives, hopelessness and tragedy. This is a story praising the goodness of God through others. On Jan. 12 about 7:30 p.m., my husband came in the den and announced that he wasn't feeling real good. In questioning him all he could tell me was a bad case of indigestion -- no nausea, no pain or no sweating. We live at Lake Wateree next door ...
As a former employee of the Wateree Community Actions I am compelled to write this letter in the disregards that the new Wateree Community Actions staff have for our small Camden community.
On Monday, Feb. 14, 2011, we experienced what could have turned into a catastrophic event if it had not been for a quick response from our local Blaney Fire Department, Doby's Mill, Lugoff, Columbia, and Pine Grove fire departments and the S.C. Forestry Commission. The wind was a major factor that day in trying to contain the fire and keep it from spreading.
The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18-year-olds) took only three months and eight days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971 … before computers, before e-mail, before cell phones, etc.
All Kershaw County residents and parents should be very proud of their schools. For two weeks in February, I was a member of a team who administered an assessment called the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) or the Nation's Report Card, to 4th and 8th graders at four Kershaw County schools. The students were cooperative and polite and stayed on task the entire assessment period. They asked questions about the ...
There are no words to express our feelings of sorrow in the loss of our family member, Jerry Geiger. We find comfort in knowing that so many of you were there for us when we needed you.
This is a copy of my letter to the Camden Planning Commission and to Camden City Council. I have had many phone calls from people concerned about this proposed ordinance, as well as calls from my neighbors supporting my having roosters. I have been advised that I am grandfathered, but more restrictive covenants, and zoning ordinances are not the answer for Camden. Any noise nuisance noise cases should be handled on an individual basis, ...

Research Director
Topics: Ann Taylor, chain retailer, e-commerce sales, web sales
Give Ann Taylor Stores Corp. a big thumbs up for finally breaking out e-commerce sales in their latest quarterly earnings release. They were nice numbers—in the first quarter ended May 1 total e-commerce sales were $42.3 million, a 52% increase from $27.8 million in the first quarter of 2009. Ann Taylor CEO Kay Krill says the company is now disclosing web sales as one way to make important internal operations more transparent to investors, customers and employees. Other chain retailers should be watching and listening. Even better I hope they follow Ann Taylor's example and begin to break out their own e-commerce figures. Chain retailers are notorious for hiding their e-commerce numbers deep in press releases, public financial reports and earnings calls. And many chains still won't report their e-commerce sales, even though for many it's the only channel that's growing. The shift by consumers from stores to online shopping is accelerating. It's only a matter of time before investors demand that chain retailers produce more quarterly information on e-commerce. The metrics on clicks, conversions and online sales are just as important as the figures on comparable-stores sales, lease rates and sales per square foot. Ann Taylor saw this trend pretty clearly and took action. It's about time other chains followed. Any takers?
There are 31 million Internet users, and new e-commerce sites are emerging.
Amazon's growth masks some serious issues that pure-play e-retailers need to address.
It's not as hard as many small online retailers think, says the founder of RightBid.
Mobile adoption drives interest in responsive, but it's no silver bullet.
The biggest opportunity we have is winning the intersection between physical and digital retail around the world.

Monterey Bay Habitats
Explore the waters of Monterey Bay, where sharks and sturgeon glide through the deep reef, 200-pound giant sea bass lumber among the reef pilings and flatfish nestle in the sandy sea floor. This hourglass-shaped exhibit is over 90 feet long, and highlights five different habitats beneath the bay and the amazing creatures that live there.
White sturgeon
This prehistoric-looking fish with whiskers isn't a shark, or a catfish. The white sturgeon is like no other fish! Instead of scales, five rows of bony plates (scutes) reach from its gills to its tail, covering its sandpaperlike skin. It also sports sharklike qualities including a cartilaginous skeleton and a sharklike tail.
Learn more
California halibut
If you see a rather odd-looking fish lying or swimming on its side in the Monterey Bay Habitats exhibit, you're watching one of the flatfishes. If this flatfish has a large mouth and a lateral line that arches high over the side fin, it's a California halibut. Notice that both eyes are on one side and pointed upward. This side of the fish is brown or blackish with light and dark splotches—the side without eyes is usually white.
Learn more
Sevengill shark
Look for this big beefy shark sitting on the bottom of the exhibit, or cruising through the deep reef. As its name suggests, a sevengill shark has seven pairs of gill slits (most sharks have only five). Its back and sides are reddish brown to silvery gray, or olive-brown and speckled with many small black spots. The shark's underbelly is cream colored. Other features include a wide head with a blunt nose and only one dorsal (top) fin—most sharks have two.

Monterey Bay Habitats Cool Facts
This exhibit was designed with sharks in mind—the hourglass shape gives our large sharks plenty of room to glide and turn. Gliding helps sharks get rid of metabolic wastes in muscle tissue.
Giant sea bass can reach 500 pounds but are so gentle they like to have their chins scratched by divers during feedings.
This exhibit holds 350,000 gallons of water and the acrylic windows are three to four inches thick.

For transfer students, the application deadline is June 1 for the Fall Term and November 1 for the Spring Term. (See the University Admission section in the front of this bulletin.)
First-year premajor students enter Dedman College and then transfer to Meadows School of the Arts when they complete requirements for the major declaration. A student transferring from Dedman College (or other schools of the University) must secure a Change of Academic Program form from the dean of the student's current school to present to the Undergraduate Academic services office of Meadows School of the Arts.
Students must have completed a minimum of 24 term hours of study with a cumulative G.P.A. of 2.00 or greater. Students in various divisions also must receive formal recognition for suitable scholarly or creative ability, and talent in the performing arts. Art students must take introductory course work in the first year and must seek admission through a review of the work done in those classes. Art History students should contact the chair of the Art History Division for a conference. Advertising, Cinema/Television, Journalism, and Corporate Communications and Public Affairs students must successfully complete the prerequisite subset of courses with the appropriate G.P.A. to be admitted to their degree programs.
It should be noted that all students in dance, music, and theatre will have auditioned/interviewed prior to entering SMU.
Transfer students applying for admission to Meadows School of the Arts by transfer from another accredited educational institution should request a transfer application from the Office of Enrollment Services. Transfer applicants who have completed 24 transferable hours with a G.P.A. of 2.50 or better are often successful in gaining admission to the University. Once admitted, a transfer student must be prepared to earn 60 hours of credit in residence at SMU.
Transfer credit is not given for correspondence courses or for work completed at a nonaccredited school. Only grades of C- or better in comparable courses are transferable to SMU.
Transfer into Meadows School of the Arts is not automatic. Recognition is also given to creative or scholarly potential for the program to be undertaken and to particular talent in performing areas. Admissions criteria pertinent to each instructional unit also must be satisfied.
Students should contact the Meadows Undergraduate Academic Services Office regarding readmission. Music, dance, or theatre students may also be required to re-audition. Official transcripts from each college or university attended since last enrolled at SMU must also be forwarded to the Division of Enrollment Services.

All data is due no later than July 1 for the fall term of entry and no later than December 1 for the spring term of entry. See "Readmission of Students" in the University Admission section for more details. UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT FINANCIAL AID
For many SMU students, scholarships and other aid make the cost of attending a distinguished university no more, and often less, taxing on their families' financial resources than attending a public university. More than 75 percent of all SMU students receive some type of financial aid. For more information, see the Student Financial Aid section or contact the Division of Enrollment Services - Financial Aid.
SMU has a generous program of merit scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time jobs to recognize academic achievement and talent in specific fields and to meet financial need.
The divisions and centers comprising Meadows School of the Arts annually award scholarships for outstanding achievement in a particular discipline. Candidacy for scholarship considerations may require an audition, portfolio review and/or interview. No student with ability should hesitate to apply to SMU and Meadows because of financial need.
For information regarding Artistic Scholarships, write to the Associate Dean for Student Affairs, Meadows School of the Arts, Southern Methodist University, PO Box 750356, Dallas TX 75275-0356.
To receive primary consideration for all SMU merit scholarships and other aid, students should comply with the following schedule:

Diego, 83, checks a coal brazier at the entrance of his house, to place it under a warming table in his living room, on a cold winter's day in Ronda, near Malaga, southern Spain December 19, 2013. Spanish electricity bills are set to rise by at least 10.5 percent in January, hitting cash-strapped consumers hard and casting more doubt on whether a wide-ranging energy reform passed in July will be enough to fix a distorted power market. Spain is trying to balance a 30 billion euro ($41 billion) electricity tariff deficit created by years of a policy that kept prices below the sum of costs ranging from generation and transmission to renewable subsidies and capacity payments. The reforms, which include subsidy cuts and tax hikes, were meant to spread the burden of curbing the tariff deficit among consumers, companies and the state, which had pledged 3.6 billion euros in funds to help close the gap.

Eldritch III Quest
There are five eldritch symbol quests. What does this one say? -BjofCJandBj |
New Update April/ May, New Item System, New Forum
Player Me: Time to stop buying items with gold shields and silver pieces Researcher Me: Unless it is a totally insane epic item "- our next release slated for the end of the month, . . . cool thing is the forum you're reading this on. We're hoping this will provide a better way to talk to you, our players, and for everyone to communicate with each other in general. -" Player Me: Yay! Researcher Me: Yay! "- old equipment will continue to function just fine in this new system. This compatibility was a design requirement from the get go - we want to make sure people who spent a lot of time and/or money on a piece of equipment they like won't run the patch and find that their favorite equipment is now gone or doesn't work well. -" Player Me: Yay! Researcher Me: hmmm "- So coming in 1.3, we'll be introducing Augment Gems, a new gem-based enchant system that . . . Their basic stats will change as they get better, but there will be no +Haste or +Dodge directly on the equipment anymore. Adding enchantments will now be done through gems that you find in the game and add to your items. For each basic stat e.g. Melee, Spell, Dodge, Haste, Health, etc. there will be a different gem that provides that particular bonus. -" Researcher Me: Yay! Player Me: Boo! game balance! "- This bit is particularly important because the socket order is different based on the equipment slot that it is used in. Some may be Red-Blue-Yellow, others Yellow-Red-Blue, you get the idea. -" -BjofCJandBj Last edited by BjofCJ&Bj; 04-05-2012 at 06:43 AM.. Reason: Edit 2: Replace with Researcher Me.

Vanish rank 3 and Deadly Precision items (VenanBoHpostClass version 1.2)
-- >New Deadly Precision items (rare, +Crit, +Crit Power), and the new Vanish rank 3 (+50% Crit, +50% Crit Power), make Critical Hits a more attractive path for Shadow Walkers. -- >Vanish rank 3 stacks with item enchantments +Crit & +Crit Power. -- >It is recommended to get 5-8 Deadly Precision items. -- >The more +Crit Power items you have, the *less* percentage the previous items give you. -- >It is not worth getting single enchantment items with only +Crit or only +Crit Power. -- >Each +Crit enchantment increases your chance for a critical hit. Data: The old Vanish would max out at +33% increase to average damage. So it was better to spend ability points increasing your Poison Cloud, Caltrop or Piercing Strike. But the new system lets you increase the damage from a critical hit. Research Note: A Shadow Walker has 110% melee rating, 110% spell rating, 16% Crit rating, 150% Crit Power rating. Even without a single item, Vanish rank 3 (+50% Crit & +50% Crit Power), increases your average damage by +66% ([110% x 100% x 34% + 110% x 200% x 66%] / 110%-100%). In combination with Deadly Precision items, it is possible to get all ten item slots with +Crit & +Crit Power. Not a great idea, but it is possible. (Typist's note: IT IS A GREAT IDEA. Unless you can get things "of Destruction" instead. But that's just me. I am all about the Smiting Things With Poison Instantly. Or faster.) Instead of a full set of 10, I suggest 5- 8 Deadly Precision items (see below "Crit Power- A Special Case"). Currently, with nine items (including 2 Deadly Precision), and Vanish rank 3, my Level 20 Shadow Walker has close to 75% chance of a critical hit and close to 275% damage with each critical hit, or an average damage increase of +131% ([110% x 100% x 25% + 110% x 275% x 75%] / 110%-100%). Each critical hit doing 302% base weapon damage (110% x 275%). Since this was for research purposes, I will be lowering the number of items in the future. At Level 19, my wifes Shadow Walker, with ten items (including 6 Deadly Precision) and Vanish rank 3, had a 90% chance of a critical hit and 281% damage with each critical hit, or an average damage increase of +163%. At the time, her critical hits did 309% base weapon damage. In the future, she is likely to have less Deadly Precision items, since she is slowly replacing them with Destruction items (epic, +melee, +Crit, +Crit Power). (Typist's note: See? I told you it was a good idea.) Crit Power- A Special Case Overview: -- >Level 1 Justicars may want to consider buying Deathwing a Named weapon. -- >Crit Power items are tricky. It is recommended that only Shadow Walkers with Vanish rank 3 buy them. Level Change Higher Level characters get less benefit from the same number of points than lower level (see links below for previous post on item enchantments). The change in the ratio from Level 19 to Level 20 is slight. 1,800 points at Level 19 equals 150%. 1,875 points is required at Level 20 for 150%. Note: Deathwing is a Level 20 Named weapon usable by Level 1 characters, since its +Crit Power is constant, it is more powerful at Level 1 than at Level 20. Level 1 Justicars may want to keep this in mind. See links below for previous post on item enchantments including Named Weapons. (Comment: Who needs Vanish rank 3 when you get a critical hit with Level 20 damage. But even I have to admit critical hits with Deathwing at Level 1 are just adding a small insult to an already grievous injury). (Typist's note: bwah-ha-ha-ha-HAAAA!!) Ability Change Vanish rank 3 adds +50% to Crit Power no matter what your level or current Crit Power rating. Shadow Walkers with Vanish rank 3 get the most use from items with +Crit Power. Other characters see a slight and unpredictable benefit. Crit Power Items The more +Crit Power items you acquire, the *less* effective each previous items becomes. Because of this, with zero items, a Level 20 Shadow Walker gets 1% Crit Power for every 12 points (150% and 1875 points). But with 4,769 points, the same character does not get 397% Crit Power, instead they get 227.17% or 1% Crit Power for every 21 points, almost half the starting ratio. So it is better to get 5- 8 items with +Crit Power enchantments, and use the other 2- 5 item slots for +Max Health or other enchantments (see links below for previous post on Tactics, Strategy, and Enchantments). A nice number to shoot for is 175%- 200% Crit Power which gives you 225%- 250% with Vanish rank 3. (Typist's note: "Less effective" - BUT STILL DANG COOL. And still effective, overall, for Smiting Things In One Fell Swoop.) Deadly Precision items are recommended because A) +Crit does not help much if you have no +Crit Power, and B) the more enchantments an items has, the more powerful each individual enchantment. A single enchantment magic item has a lower +Crit Power than a double enchantment item. Ex: a Surging Leather Torso Armor (magic, +Crit Power) has a lower +Crit Power than a Healing Surge Leather Torso Armor (rare, +Max Health, +Crit Power). NOTE: This will NOT be true with the upcoming New Item System. Level 19 Shadow Walker Crit Power 1,800= 150% for 12= 1% 3,103= 186.19% for 16.6= 1% 4,745= 231.8% for 20= 1% Level 20 Shadow Walker Crit Power 1875= 150% for 12.5= 1% 3,206= 185.49% for 17.3= 1% 4,769= 227.17% for 21= 1% Crit Latest Data: Ability Change Vanish rank 3 adds +50% to Crit no matter what your level or current Crit rating. Item Change Crit still increases 1% per X points as per previous versions. If you change +Crit items, but not level, your ability goes up or down depending on the item you change. Level 19 Shadow Walker Crit 1,152= 16% for 72= 1% 2,096= 29.11% for 72= 1% 2,922= 40.58% for 72= 1% Level 20 Shadow Walker Crit 1200= 16% for 75= 1% 1,706= 22.74% for 75= 1% 2,276= 30.34% for 75= 1% Links to Relevant Previous Posts: Tactics, Strategy, and Enchantments ( http://forums.toucharcade.com/showth...70#post2168370 ). Item enchantments, including Haste Items and Named Weapons ( http://forums.toucharcade.com/showth...29#post2104329 ). Item enchantments ( http://forums.toucharcade.com/showth...24#post2104324 ) ]. MY PERSONAL OPINION I have a weird problem, I am having trouble giving Venan money. My Level 20 Shadow Walker currently has a full set of ten ancestral Constitution items (gold shields, rare, +Max Health, +Defense) and a full set of ten Healing Surge/ Deadly Precision items (gold shields, rare, +Max Health +Crit Power/ +Crit +Crit Power). I would like to test some Aptitude items (gold shields, rare, +Dodge, +Crit Power). In addition, several interesting ancestral Epic items (gold shields, three enchantments) have popped up in Majerios Shop. However, I am running out of space. Mostly because monsters keep dropping runes (6 slots), potions (4 slots), and items (1- 7 per dungeon). Before the new Vanish, I used to ignore +Crit enchantment items. Now I am collecting various +Crit Power items (Deadly Precision, Healing Surge, Aptitude, Destruction, etc.) Add the 6 new runes and 4 new potions (well, new for some of us), and 50 slots is feeling small. I could spend more money on gold shields, if the item slots were increased to 80. It would also make PvP more interesting since characters could have different sets for different opponents. Research Note: My Shadow Walker currently has 38 items (oops now 42), including 6 rune slots, 3 (now 2) potion slots, and 16 (now 21) rare items with +Crit Power. All my characters have weird collections of items as I use them for research and testing. I like to check "Buy Back" under "Sell item" to make sure I have not sold something I was researching. This is hampered by each potion and rune I sell counting as a single item. I would like it if sold runes and potions stacked. For example, if the last item I sold to Majerio was a Purge rune, and I sold three more, it would take up 1 slot on the "Buy Back" list, but have 4 Purge runes listed. If I then sold a sword to Majerio, the next time I sold a Purge rune, it would start a new slot and a new stack. Even better would be a separate section "Used Potions and Runes". You could buy back up to 10 of each potion or rune after selling them to Majerio. It would be just like the "Buy Back" list, 10 items, but there would be a list for each potion and each rune, for 11 total lists. MY PERSONAL DREAMS A great solution would be to spend my silver pieces and purchase a dwelling, with 10 items slots, where I could store items that do not fit in my inventory. By spending more silver pieces, I could add additional slots. As long as I kept sending, the dwelling could keep growing. Maybe armor stands in the hall to display my unused armor. Display cases on the wall for unused weapons. It would give me something to spend silver pieces on, but still encourage me to spend gold shields for items. It would even solve my problem with the "Buy Back" list. It would be cool to have a trophy room in the dwelling with higher resolution pictures of all the monsters I have defeated. Maybe clicking on a armor stand, weapon case or trophy room picture would give you the ability to purchase a digital print, or a signed print of the original art. If there was enough interest, you could even go produce a limited edition, high resolution, art prints on archival paper. (Typist's Dream: Win the lottery. But I'm a simple critter who wants armored bunny slippers. Or, alternatively, $115,000,000 or so. Or 115 gold) -BjofCJandBj (with alleged "assistance" by CJofCJandBj) Last edited by BjofCJ&Bj; 04-07-2012 at 08:47 PM.. Reason: Final Version |

Lake Nithus Shard of Ironhaven
I'm having tons of trouble on the Lake Nithus Shard of Ironhaven. Right now, I have access to the Infested Coast, The Darkened Shores, the Isle of Nithus, Helion's Pass, The Grieving Glade, and The Ghost Ship. I've played about 20 times in all of them, and I haven't found anything other than runes and potions. I saw something about gatekeepers having the treasure maps, but I haven't gotten anything.. I also tried getting rid of all of my quests like someone else said, but that doesn't work either. HELP!!

The Westford Museum is located near the historic town Common at 2 Boston Road in Westford, Massachusetts. The office is at 4 Boston Road. The Museum houses a wonderful collection of artifacts typical of small towns. If your interest is genealogy, be sure and contact us as we have excellent materials covering many old Westford families. And if old Westford houses interest you we have house histories as well. We also have an almost complete collection of Westford Academy yearbooks, many photographs of students and teachers, and other academy memorabilia. If you are looking for a gift that is uniquely Westford, be sure and check our Museum Store page.
Before you visit, double-check the Museum Calendar as there are a few holiday Sundays when we are closed. If you're doing research don't hesitate to send an e-mail or call ahead so we can prepare for your visit. We look forward to meeting you.

Mentor Award
The Langerbeck Award for Undergraduate Research Mentoring has been established to recognize and reward the exceptional work of Loyola's faculty, staff, and graduate-student mentors who are contributing significant time and effort to the intellectual, ethical, and academic development of Loyola's undergraduate researchers by mentoring their research endeavors.
Each year, LUROP will grant two awards, selected from a pool of student nominations. Faculty selected for the award will receive $2,000, through sponsorship from the Office of the Provost, while graduate students or staff will receive $1,000 through LUROP. In both cases, the award is meant to support the mentors' research and support of undergraduates.
Applications for 2011-2012 were reviewed by a committee of LUROP fellowship directors and previous faculty mentor award winners. Winners were announced on April 21, 2012 at the The 2014 Symposium.
