Spring Review, Summer PlansMay 29th, 2012 by Jenni Benda
So, I haven't used this blog much this semester. I am proud to say that I've made it through my first full year as a Redbird and I am now a Senior! Yay! I have a year and a half to go until I complete all my courses for my shiny Bachelor of Science degree that I'm chasing.
Despite having my husband as a teacher, I managed to pass MAT 200 (MAT 160 at ISU). I got a C, but given all the OTHER things I dealt with this semester, it's pretty remarkable that I got that far.
My other classes were a bit better. A's in PSY 110 and ITK 261 (Despite the difficulties of being the only woman in a class full of men and taught by a man.) and B's in ITK 254 and ECO 105. (Why did I take an honors section again? Oh yeah, schedule. Sheesh).
So my GPA didn't suffer too much as a result. The coursework and attendance were made more difficult by a rather nasty fall I had in March, which involved me attempting to walk down a flight of stairs in Schroeder and failing.
I stepped down each step, leaning on the middle railing (I was on the right side to the railing was to my left) for support since my left side tends to be weak, and then on the third step, my left ankle turned and I lost my balance. I tried to catch myself on the railing and failed, slamming into it with my right leg and right elbow. I don't recall much after that other than winding up on the floor at the base of the stairs, on my back with the wind knocked out of me. (I am not sure whether or not I hit my head, it's possible I may have.) The pain was horrible, but thanks to adrenaline coursing through my body, I was able to get up and get to the classroom.
Amazingly enough I sat through the 75 minute class (I couldn't focus for beans, but this is why I record lectures) but once it was over, I didn't think I'd be able to get up again without enough pain/dizziness to make me pass out. ISU PD was called, and later paramedics. The paramedics got to the classroom and after a momentary panic about whether or not they would but a neck brace on me (One of my PTSD triggers is having things around my neck after all) they had me sign something saying I'd declined the brace and I was place on the gurney and they tried to get me to the ambulance. This proved to be more challenging that it probably ought to have been. The gurney barely fit in the elevator and due to the angle they had me in at, they couldn't get me out the opposite doors once it got to the upper part of the first floor. So back down we went, as the freaking Fire Department was called, so they had more men to grab hold of me and take me up the same stupid steps I fell on.
At the ED, I was examined, X-rayed (15 xrays! The most I've ever had at one time) and all that time, no one thought to check my head. (This is important. I'll come back to this point.) I was diagnosed with a L ankle sprain, a R Knee contusion, a R hip contusion, a R elbow contusion, and a back strain. I had an air-cast put on my ankle and was discharged. I also had a note excusing me from classes the next day because the Dr said I'd feel much worse the day after. It did all right, and I spent a lot of time after that laying in bed and trying to sleep off what I thought was the pain medication. It wasn't until I'd gone to see a sleep doc on Friday that they figured out I had a concussion. Four days of dizziness, nausea, and pain before they figured that out. Thankfully the next week ISU was on spring break and I was able with the anti-dizziness and anti-nausea meds, get up and get to my MAT 200 class at Parkland. (The breaks for each school were staggered.)
This fall caused a lot of problems for me, one of which was my application for running for Phi Beta Lambda State office and making sure I had all the components completed in time to send it off. Through a huge effort by myself, my advisor, the chapter president and my campaign manager, we got it done! By this point I had to concentrate on the next step which was preparing for the State Leadership Conference and the campaign itself. The process was intense, but I got through it and got elected! I still maintain that I couldn't have gotten through it without Vince and the support of everyone in my chapter. I also placed 3rd in the Computer Concepts competition which allows me to compete nationally at the National Leadership Conference in San Antonio TX in June.
During finals week, I also managed to re-sprain my ankle, I'm still recovering.
So now that the semester is over, I have to work on studying and preparing myself for the national test. I'm also working on making jewelry to sell to go raise funds for the PBL NLC. Then I will take over the State Secretary office, attend two more conferences and then in Fall, the fun really begins.
Stay safe this summer. See you in the fall.
Car TroubleFebruary 21st, 2012 by Jenni Benda
Aka a commuter's worst nightmare. This is mostly why I've been quiet lately.
I managed to get to Bloomington before my car started acting up a week ago. As a result, I missed one of my classes (the other one that day had been canceled) and ended up having to stay in town for nearly 3 days before my car was ready. Then that night I had a sleep study at a hospital in Champaign so at least that night I was in the right county, but I still wasn't home.
And of course, the stress of the situation caused me to get behind in everything because I was stressed, tired, and I had to spend some time with my husband because I missed him you know? I didn't even get to spend Valentines Day with my own husband.
Don't get me wrong, I love my friends and the two I stayed with are some of the best friends a person could ask for, but I was glad to get home.
I just get the feeling that this semester is going to be one of the roughest ever that I've encountered and I still have 3 to go after this one. Sheesh.
One of those days…January 30th, 2012 by Jenni Benda
Have you ever had one of those days?
Where you feel like no matter what you try to do, it's never going to work.
Where no matter how you look, you always feel ugly and out of place.
Where no matter how hard you work, you always seem to fall short.
I've been having one of those days for a about 3 weeks.
And of course right now is one of those times when I really don't need a lack of self-esteem nibbling at my subconscious mind.
And you go on trying, working, and attempting to at least look presentable like you do…just becuase life decides to kick you around for a while, doesn't mean it stops for you. Especially when you're 31, married, and trying to improve your life.
Days like this are when the nagging questions flood my brain making it hard to focus or sleep. "What am I doing trying to earn a college degree at my age?" "Why do I even bother with trying to relate to my fellow students?" "I should have just stopped at the associates degree."
It's hard to fight those kinds of things. But I do, mostly now because I don't know what else to do. There's worries about finding a job in my field if I even make it to the goal of the degree. But one worry at a time right? No sense putting the cart before the horse.
Sometimes I wonder if younger students have as much self-doubt as the older ones, but we're just more vocal about it?
Maybe it's just one of those days.
Topic 3 of 3 for the week: Why being in your husband's class is not as cool as you'd think.January 27th, 2012 by Jenni Benda
First of all, in all the math classes I've taken the last few years, I've come to see my husband as a help source, and while he still sort of is, it's different when he 's my instructor. I could go to his office hours and ask him for help. I could email him and ask him for help. But when he's sitting 3 feet away from me at 10pm the night before the homework is due, I can't ask him anything because it's unfair to my other classmates.
(And let me be clear, the only reason I was working on it at that point was because I'm taking 13 other credit hours at ISU AND I'm an officer in a business fraternity. I've been busy and that was the first week of classes at ISU. Sue me.)
Seeing him in class is always awkward at first. See, I have this reaction thing when I first see my husband each time, it's generally a loving smile or a happy face. But it's like…you see me look at him and you can tell that I know him in a far closer manner than student/teacher. I've had to work very hard to try and hide that. It's NOT easy. Also? When I talk to him in class, I've so far been avoiding calling him by name. Calling him Mr. Benda is just awkward for me, though it would be the respectful thing to do. I can't call him Jason, because I call him that at home. And I've been trying really hard not to call him any of the lovey-dovey pet names you could think of that are usually exchanged between a husband and wife. On top of that, when I talk to him about something in class, I end up telling him information he already knows, because I have to act like I'm just another student and he doesn't know my entire educational history. I don't know if it's awkward for him, but it sure as hell is for me. And it leads to odd things occurring in class like the story of the damn meter stick.
See, one day he was lecturing and he wanders around in front of the whiteboard like most instructors do, (And my husband is very high energy when he's lecturing, so he does this a LOT) and he walked in front of a shelf on the far side of the room and as he did so, he knocked over this meter stick that was leaned against the shelf. It clattered to the floor. Did he pick it up? No, he just kept on going. He kept wandering back and forth and stepping on the damn thing as he lectured. I couldn't focus on the material as I kept seeing him losing his footing and smashing into the whiteboard or onto the floor, breaking his nose or something. Finally I couldn't take it any more and put my hand up. He paused and acknowledged me. I asked him to please pick up the stick so he didn't trip over it an injure himself as it was making me nervous. He tried to laugh it off, but I think he was embarrassed by the whole thing. I mean, yes, I am overprotective of those I love and care about and in many cases don't want to see anyone come to harm. (Anyone who knows me for more than two days can figure that out.) But honestly! I couldn't STAND IT! Had I done the same thing if it had been any of his colleagues? Yes. I would have, though I cannot think of any of them off the top of my head that wouldn't have picked the damn thing up when they knocked it over the the first place!!!!
There's always a low level of paranoia that the manure is going to hit the fan once someone figures out the relationship between us and is going to try to get myself or him, (or both) into trouble with the Department Chair. I honestly don't care if I get into trouble. I would drop the class and find a way to pay Jason back the tuition (yes, he paid my tuition. I know, it was weird for him too.) if only to spare him his class. If removing me would solve an issue between him and his boss I would happily go. (It's not like I'm passing the damn class at the moment anyway.) But the fear of trouble is always there.
It's not like we've tried to hide the fact that we're married….we're just…not announcing it. I am not sure if other students have suspected anything, (it's not like someone who looks at the class roster couldn't figure something out since we have the same damn surname) but if they have no one has said anything to my knowledge.
I know that when I struggle with the material (and so far I've been struggling a LOT) it upsets him. I kind of understand why, he has a lot more invested in me personally than any of his other students, and he's around me more. And when I get upset and feel like The World's Biggest Idiot, I can't say anything to him because it just upsets him more.
And there's one last thing that I've been reluctant to talk about…this whole me-being-his-student-thing is affecting our relationship. At least it has in my view, again I can't speak for him. I have had a hard time being affectionate towards him. At least, at my usual level. Normally I'm very affectionate towards him verbally and physically. Lately…it's been less so. Because every time I hug him, or kiss him, there's this little voice in my head that says "You're kissing your math teacher." This causes space between us that maybe only I notice. As much as I want to be near him, as much as I want to snuggle up to him at night, I feel like I have to be separate from him because it's my damn math teacher.
So every time I hear someone who finds out that my husband is teaching my class say "That is awesome! You have it so easy!" as a joke, it makes me have to resist the urge to punch them. I cannot recommend this situation to anyone. Maybe there are people out there who can separate their work/educational lives from their personal lives, but apparently I'm not one of them.
It's going to be a very long semester.
A Question I'm Tired Of…January 23rd, 2012 by Jenni Benda
"Why didn't you go to X College/University?"
The reason I'm tired of this question is because of the explanations that always need to follow. I realize that people refuse to believe that it's fun to commute an hour to school every morning, but it's not like I'm really going that far. What bothers me is I'm not just getting it from ISU people who say "Why didn't you go to University of Illinois? It's right there and they have a great Computer Science Program." But I'm also getting it from Parkland people that I'm taking MAT 200 with. But from them I'm getting "Why are you taking this class here and not at ISU/Heartland CC?"
The answer to the first question always is a form of "Because UIUC does not have the program I'm in here." Sure, UIUC does have a great Computer Science program, but only if you're interested in Engineering. I'm interested in Web Development and online communications, and as my husband loves to say "Not every institution is for everyone!" So yes, I had to go to Bloomington-Normal to ISU to find a program and an institution that fit me a lot better than the local option. Yes, the commute sucks, but you get used to it. The commute itself isn't even as bad as just the time it takes.
The answer to the second question had to be "Because I live in Champaign and I commute to ISU for classes not the other way around." Because the person who asked it didn't realize that I didn't live in Bloomington-Normal.
Why does this annoy me so much? Because no one else who travels a long way for school gets asked this, (or maybe they do and they're as sick of it as I am) but I don't go to the tons of Chicagoans that go to this campus and go "Why didn't you just go to X?" Where X is a 4-year college in the Chicago area. I don't go to some international student and go "Aren't there colleges in your home country?" But people have no problem questioning my decision. Including, I might add, one of my professors!!! He tried to make it into a joke when I introduced myself (and yes, this is the class I wrote about earlier where I'm the only female) and he said "You do know there's a pretty big computer science institution right near you right?" Like I'm the idiot.
I almost gave a sarcastic reply like "No! Really? I HAD NO IDEA. Thank you for telling me, I'll take my tuition money away from the institution that pays your salary and go next week." But of course I am so afraid of confrontation that I didn't. *sigh*
So yes, the next time you think you're clever and ask a question like that when you hear I'm a commuter, just don't. Please…just don't.
Male dominated classrooms (aka The lone woman in a sea of testosterone.)January 22nd, 2012 by Jenni Benda
My IT 261 class has (estimated) 25-30 students. Not a huge class, but a sizable amount of people. It's in a room where we do all fit. The instructor is male.
I am the only female. I spend an hour and 15 minutes, twice a week in a room where I am the only female. It's not a huge deal, but it is something to think about for me because I'm in a male-dominated field. Computer Science in general is still quite male-dominated and this is just another reminder of such demographics. Why could it be an issue?
Flash back with me for a moment to Parkland College in Fall of 2007. I was taking CSC 187 which is 3D Animation I. The size of the class was a bit smaller, maybe 24 students, but the first day of classes set the tone for what was to become the gender showdown. I was one of two females in the course, and after the first day of the first critiques, I was the only female. I got a lot of crap from the males in the class and it's possible they could have been trying to drive me out.
Only I'm stubborn as all get out and didn't let them. I stood up to them and called them out on their crap.
After a while, they gave up, but every class up to that point was a battle. I had to pause before entering the lab and don my mental battle armor. Am I doing that now? In a way I am. I probably am more defensive than I need to be, but I feel that it's better to be prepared. It's easier to deal with an "attack" when you're prepared for anything than to deal with an ambush.
My other classes are not quite as bad. There is a male bias in the Parkland MAT class and in my other IT class. The other two classes I'm taking are a bit more evenly balanced.
It's just another thing that sticks in my mind as I go on this little Bachelor's Degree Adventure. We all have things that are obstacles or are potential obstacles. Experience has taught me that I need to be somewhat defensive in male-dominated classrooms especially in computer science and mathematics. Even in today's more modern educational setting, there are pervasive ideas that women are not as good at math and science as men. (I grew up hearing that crap on a daily basis from grades 5-12). So I tend to be wary, and have donned the attitude of "Oh yeah? I can do this stuff as well or better than you can and I'll PROVE it. So sit down and shut up." There's always the possibility that this will backfire on me someday, but stick with what you know, ya know?
It's one of those necessary evils this world is full of. Male privilege is a bitch when you're not male.
If I were in a different major, it could be different. But I'm not, so I deal with it the best I can. Maybe someday we'll come to a world where a woman can take a computer science class full of males and not feel like I do. But until then, I don my mental armor every Tuesday and Thursday before class, and prepare for the potential gender war to come.
Fall review and Spring beginsJanuary 20th, 2012 by Jenni Benda
Let me just say that the last two weeks of the Fall semester sucked. Hardcore. It wasn't a total disaster, but pretty close. Despite all of the stress and insanity, I managed to walk away with 3 A's and a B. (damn Human Biology class).
Winter break? Well, it involved leaving the job I've been working for the last 4 years and saying goodbye to people I'd known for that time. It also involved 2 trips to the Emergency Room, Once for a pulled trapesis (spelling?) muscle in my left shoulder that everyone around me was scared was a heart-attack in disguise, and second for abdominal pain that was a appendicitis scare. (Turned out to be a bad stomach virus.) It did also involve fun, nerdy pursuits like gaming, reading, crafts, and trying to design myself a better looking web portfolio. The holidays were nice. I love my in-laws and they love me. We had a friend stay with us for a while, and that was fun too.
And now Spring semester has begun. I get the feeling that this semester is going to be quite tougher than last semester, even though I am not currently employed. I am taking 5 classes, (4 at ISU and 1 at Parkland) and between commuting 4 days a week, and winter weather that can't decide if it wants to be sunny or snowy, well….I'm in for a rough ride.
Add to this that Phi Beta Lambda's Rush activities are coming up (Lots to prepare for as Ye Olde Webmaster naturally) and you've got extra confusion with a side of obsessive email checking.
I've got topics I want to write about over the next few days. I've decided that each topic should be it's own post. The topics are:
- Male-dominated classrooms
- Why being in your husband's class sucks more than you think it would
- Why I am sick of the question "Why didn't you go to (x) College?"
So…look for that…the I don't know…3 of you who read this blog that aren't spam-bots.
Stay warm everyone.
Crunch TimeDecember 1st, 2011 by Jenni Benda
It's that time again. Where did the time go? Last I knew it was August, the weather was still warm and I was still getting used to this whole going to Illinois State University thing.
Today it's December, there's little more than a week till Finals and of course, the profs are throwing everything they still can at you. (and in some cases still giving a final exam!)
Add on top of this that for me, being an older student and having a job, my job has become short-staffed and therefore I'm on mandatory OT. Now that the job hours have taken away homework time, guess what? I am losing sleep. It's not pretty. Due to a research paper I got 2.5 hours of sleep last night. Also I waste 4 hours per week driving back and forth. Sleep? What's that? That thing I'm not getting right now? Oh.
Due to the sleep deprivation I feel like a squirrel on speed. My train of thought often goes: HolyCrapIt'sColdWhyIsSheWearingThatDamnSmokersIAmTiredIWannaTakeaNapIHaveClassNowIAmHungryOoohLookAtThat!ThatLooksFunny…and just kind of continues on until I find a way to reign it in and focus on lecture. Thankfully I've been recording audio of lectures.
If I'm not in squirrel mode, I'm in DURRR mode. You know that mode when you're not quite asleep, but you aren't exactly awake either. You're just staring at the wall with your mind blank until something gets your attention and you realize that twenty minutes has passed. Sometimes I call this "fibro fog", but it's been worse lately due to the OMG!Stress of everything falling on my head at once. This also has the added effect of happening to me when my poor husband is trying to ask me something and it literally takes an entire minute to process what he said and of course since I was in DURRR mode I didn't hear the entire question and often I have to ask him to repeat himself. AND THEN on top of that, it takes me an additional two minutes to actually think about what he said and make a decision. This annoys him when we're driving somewhere and he asks me if I need to go somewhere and I tell him two minutes after he passed the turn for it.
If I can just survive the next two weeks and 4 days….then I can rest.
This situation has taught me an important lesson though. You really cannot work more than 20 hours a week and go to school full time. Some important decisions need to be made, I won't go into details here because this isn't the place for it, but I need to do some serious thinking about how I'm going to prepare for next semester.
And now I feel like perhaps I've done enough procrasta-ranting. (See that? I made up a word. I do that a lot.) Time to sneak in a power nap before my next class and pray that I don't collapse from stress. Good luck to my fellow students and if you could, send thoughts of hope and sanity to my poor husband who is dealing with creating and grading finals but also has to put up with the mess that is me. Thanks.
See you on the other side of Finals.
Trains of thought…October 25th, 2011 by Jenni Benda
Sit down, and hold on…this post may be a bit jumpy…
Things that are taking up space in my head this week:
- I hate writing papers. I really, really hate writing papers. Mostly because papers have to be coherent and flow and have a unified topic. And often, I have to read stuff other people have written on a similar topic and find a way to work it into my topic without making it seem like I'm taking their words. Writing an object oriented program to pull library information out of a database is easier than that.
- Is it possible for a person's learning style to shift with the years? It used to be that I couldn't retain anything just related to me verbally, but now I'm finding that I have to record lectures in order to remember anything.
- I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about labels and stereotypes. I have come to the conclusion that no matter what sort of peer group I'm in, (whether it be my co-workers, my classmates, or just a group of friends) in some way, for certain parts of me I'm the weirdo. In the group of my co-workers, I'm technically minded, I don't watch TV and I have no children. In the group of my classmates, I'm older, I'm married, I'm a female in a male dominated field (Information Technology), in my groups of friends, I'm bisexual, I have no children (and no desire to ever have any), and I'm fat. Thinking about this has lead me to such interesting concepts as "Am I the weirdo because I notice I'm different or because other people notice I'm different? Do I sort of claim myself as different, as the "weirdo", as a sort of offensive defense in social situations to keep others from pointing it out? What the heck does that last sentence even mean?
- In accordance with the last paragraph, because we're reading Alison Bechdel's Fun Home in my ENG 160 class I've been doing a lot of thinking about sexual orientation and gender constructs. I have a research paper that I have to write for my final paper in that class and I'm wondering if I should even dare to go into the topics of gender and sexual orientation in my paper. It has always been something I think about in those lovely wee-hours-of-the-morning-and-I-can't-get-my-brain-to-STFU moments. The problem lies in the fact that I have to be careful how I write about things like this. I'm not transgender, I'm cis-female. I'm bisexual, but in a heterosexual relationship, so on the surface of things I'm "normal". It's entirely possible that I could take my thoughts and research and talk about these things and end up offending my instructor. I don't want to do this. (And not just because my grade would depend on it.) It's this sort of fear that kept me from writing about race and racism in the Beloved unit. Often I think about how utterly screwed up our society is and try to find ways to deal with it without, you know, being a jerk and hurting people. This often isn't easy, but it is a worthy goal. Whereas there are a lot of people who would just blatantly spew their vile opinions and not give two shits about how they hurt others. I don't think that's me…at least, that's not who I want to be.
- I have a lot of homework to do in the next few weeks and I am trying to find a way to balance that, my job, my marriage/home life, and other obligations (PBL mostly) This is harder than it sounds. Far harder than it should be for someone my age.
I think that's it. Don't mind the spinning-head feeling. It'll go away eventually.

Do you live in Fayette County? If not, it would probably be a good idea for me to send you the updated list. There is one at the library in the cemetery book. I have a feeling that some of your information came from the old DAR survey. There were several mistakes on that list. Because the McIlwains, Smiths, and others are my family, I went there and made a corrected list. The information that I added (stones that were uncovered by the cemetery commission) is in the memorials I added. I will try to look at the entire list and see what needs to be changed. For instance, the Stanton boys that the DAR listed as Twins(?) is actually one child. Without getting out the list, I can't remember if the child was named Bruce Horace or Horace Bruce, but it's only one child. I also think I have a disc with photos of all the stones. I don't mean to be so picky, but this particular cemetery is very dear to me, and I spent a lot of time straightening out the records. Thanks

While I appreciate that you have added many of the graves at Old Waters, I don't know if you have been there. I did a very detailed survey of the cemetery after it was rehabilitated by the county cemetery commission, including the inscriptions on the stones when readable. Please correct the information on the McIwain sisters, Malinda 38012545 and Mary. Their parents were James and Phoebe Cullins McIlwain. You have their parents listed as J. & S. Should be J. and P. If you would like a copy of the list, please let me know.

That's fine. Didn't mean to try and take anyone. My gr gr grandmother was Jane Smith Cullins, daughter of Moses Smith of Abbeville SC. She came to Indiana with her family about 1829. I believe that Ebenezer was her uncle. She lived with James Smith toward the end of her life. If you don't mind, I will just post the obit as a photo. Do you live in Fayette County?

I have an obit for E.A. Smith who is buried there. If the Smiths aren't your line, would you want to transfer them to me or - if I send info - will you please add it? Obit is very detailed story of his father going to the camp where he was dying and bringing his body back to Fayette County.
The McIlwains and Smiths in the cemetery are my line. E. A.'s #38012545

Manchester United's Under-21s played out a frustrating 0-0 stalemate with Middlesbrough at the AJ Bell Stadium.
Warren Joyce's side dominated throughout but were unable to find a way past Connor Ripley despite bringing Wilfried Zaha off the bench to bring his unique wing-play to the match.
The home side were quick out of the blocks with Will Keane having two early headed efforts and Larnell Cole belting a shot wide from outside the box. A lovely move involving the buccaneering Fabio and Cole led to Jesse Lingard flashing a decent strike just wide as the Reds dominated.
Boro started to cause problems of their own with a Tom Thorpe clearance off Charni Ekangamene leaving Sam Johnstone stranded but, thankfully, flying the wrong side of the right-hand post. Thorpe also had to bail out Ekangamene with a desperate tackle on Bradley Fewster after a misjudgment by his central defensive partner while Cameron Park saw a shot deflected wide.
However, United continued to create a steady stream of chances with Ripley somehow keeping out Tyler Blackett when he looked to certain to convert a Fabio centre. Cole pulled the ball back for Lingard to again test Ripley's reflexes and a decent opening was spurned by Will Keane on the stroke of half-time when the centre-forward lobbed over the bar after being picked out by Reece James' fine pass.
The Teessiders enjoyed more possession after the break and Joyce introduced Wilfried Zaha in place of Federico Macheda on the wing. Ekangamene again went close to finding his own net with a defensive header but Keane was unlucky to be ruled offside when expertly volleying in a pass over the top by Davide Petrucci.
The same duo combined again when Petrucci won the ball with a superb tackle and then crossed to the far post, after reaching a Fabio pass, but Keane's towering header was straight at Ripley. The visiting keeper then pulled off a remarkable one-handed save to deny substitute Zaha.
Zaha was certainly having an impact on proceedings and his neat touch released Cole, who could only bend a drive off target. The goal just would not come as Keane was thwarted by Ripley at point-blank range and Thorpe headed a glorious chance over from the resulting corner.

Featured Online Faculty Profile
James DeZell, MBA
Professor - Professor, Online
Teaching Field: Project Management
Where I come from
I was a guy who was supposed to end up working in a gas station for the rest of his life. Instead, thanks to a teacher who motivated me to get an education, I had a distinguished Navy career and got my MBA. I have owned not only a construction business and a rental equipment and retail store but also served as a business consultant for many years. Currently, I personally oversee a $25 million dollar contract and assist in the management and oversight of another $75 million dollars in contracts for the Department of Defense.
After 29 years in the Navy, I retired as a Chief Petty Officer, with approximately 200 people reporting to me. Since then I have held a series of senior program and contract management positions-at Naval Air Systems Command Headquarters, a private consulting firm, Raytheon's aircraft business, and currently, a major organization within the Department of Defense. My duties include managing the budget to prevent cost overruns, getting the best value for the money, and ensuring that the quality of the work meets contract requirements. This gives me lots of experience in Risk Management-the subject I teach at DeVry University.
Why motivation matters to me
Between my junior and senior year in high school, my family moved to Texas. I was very dissatisfied with school and joined the Navy reserves, midyear. I was ready to leave school for many reasons related to the move. Luckily, my journalism teacher, Mr. Inman, stepped into my life and motivated me to complete my senior year prior to going on active duty. He made me see the benefits of a good education. Due to his motivation, I took many military courses and worked to advance within the military structure.
With various deployments and odd duty assignments, it took many years to complete my undergraduate degree but by then I did see where an education could take me in life. I stayed after it until I achieved a Master's in Business Administration and the rest is history.
Mr. Inman believed that there are many ways to get through to a hard-headed student besides the direct path. He would challenge me in a niche I was good at and then work to expand into new areas that tied to my main area of interest. Once I saw how all things may have a symbiotic relationship, my interest grew and my world began to expand.
Where's the risk?
My Naval career and business experience have provided me with many examples of Project Risk Management, and so does the daily news. I work to challenge my students to discuss the real-life risks in events like Hurricane Katrina and the collapse of the I35 Bridge. I challenge my students with questions such as; "Was there a way to identify the impact of the event prior to its occurrence? Now that it is has occurred, is it being properly managed? How could it have been managed differently?"
Students need to learn how to deal not only with business situations but also the people that they are assigned to work with. We do exercises in class about risk events in dealing with certain types of individuals. There are always new elements to learn, be they in the classroom or in the school of hard knocks-that is, on the job. Each situation can be a learning experience as well as a building block of personal growth.
Setting the bar
What makes an online student successful? Motivation! Motivation! Motivation! My goal is to make every student a successful student. There are no bad students, only unmotivated students.
Online students have to develop excellent time management skills so to adequately develop a mix of personal life, work, and school. They are also normally very goal-oriented, and seem to have learned just how to set the bar so that personal goals are high, yet attainable. Many students comment that through trial and error they have learned not to set goals so high as to continually miss their mark and thus become frustrated and feel defeated.
Some things you never miss
In many ways, an online classroom is no different from a brick-and-mortar classroom, except for not seeing the other people and waiting for a response after you post. I encourage my students not only to participate but to bring real-life experiences into the discussion. This way, each student builds equity in the class. As they have put something into the class, they want to take something away from it.
The online environment frees each person to speak (type) their mind and share with others. The mix of different ages, genders, and backgrounds tends to bring in new ideas for everyone. It also allows many shy students to freely open up in discussion.
Going one-on-one
As an instructor, I can tell when students are either new to online or shy, or have trouble with public speaking as they don't have the habit of participating in class. I work to identify these students quickly and bring them into the active class discussions. I also work to respond to each student several times in the first week and use the introduction thread to find common ground to open the line of communications with each student.
As the instructor, I work to stay very active in the threads, and students notice and appreciate that. I do my level best to answer a student's email the day that I receive it. I also take phone calls-sometimes even at 2 am. When that happens, I ask the caller to allow me time to wake up and not hold me fully responsible for my answer! Why do I do this? Online students are unique. Some students work odd hours and that's why online classes are best for them. If a student works the night shift, they may study when they get off work or get breaks in the work. If that's the time they have available, I adapt to their schedule.
Why DeVry?
Having taught for other universities, I honestly believe that DeVry University is the premier online university because of the training and support that it provides to the instructional staff. DeVry University provides excellent value for students. It has the students' best interest at heart and works with them if they encounter scheduling or other problems. When my seniors ask me for advice on continuing their studies, I encourage them to consider Keller Graduate School of Management. I also encourage them to continue learning in any manner possible, as I know what an education is worth!

She devised the recipe from a 16th c. travel diary by a German visiting Turkey. The description of the dish in the diary is pretty specific, even to specifying that "wine leaves" were used. However, it does not use rice as one of the ingredients but does describe how the leaves are wrapped around the filling as well as the completed item being boiled in water. >>> Thank you Urtatim and Kiri.

We are interested in chemosensory signal transduction systems that
regulate motility and development in the bacterial model organisms, Myxococcus xanthus and Bacillus subtilis.
Chemosensory systems are chemotaxis-like two component systems that
regulate a variety of cellular functions ranging from flagellar based
motility to sporulation.
Analysis of signal transduction systems that allow cells to detect and
mediate responses to environmental factors, including neighbor contact,
is the major subject of investigation in our lab. M. xanthus is
a soil bacterium that displays a multicellular life cycle. Cells feed
on other organisms and form complex fruiting structures, culminating in
spore production when starved. These processes require Type IV
pilus-based motility and depend on chemotaxis and complex intercellular
signaling. M. xanthus utilizes over 120 two-component systems,
including eight homologous chemosensory signaling pathways to regulate
its complex lifestyle. While some of these che homologs are involved in
the regulation of motility and predation, others have been shown to
affect a variety of cellular functions including gene expression and
carotenoid biosynthesis. Our projects focus on the chemosensory
regulation of gene expression, lipoprotein-dependent stress responses,
type IV pilus assembly, and membrane composition.
Analysis of the B. subtilis chemotaxis system focuses our work on CheC, CheD, and CheV. Homologs to these proteins are not found in E. coli
but are present in the majority of known chemotactic Bacteria and
Archaea. Our projects include the characterization of CheD deamidase
activity and HAMP domain interactions, targets and regulation of CheC
phosphatase activity, and regulation of signaling by the unique
receptor-kinase coupling protein, CheV. The broad distribution of CheC,
CheD and CheV identified by genome sequencing allows us to conclude that
B. subtilis is the best paradigm for the study of chemotaxis in prokaryotes.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. (Second Amendment)
If drones are arms, then I want one to protect my home. In fact, I want each of my neighbors to have one, too; this way we can protect our block. Maybe everyone in my little village should have a drone as well. That way we can really feel secure. I think this would classify us a "militia," thus abiding by the actual words of the second amendment. Who knows, perhaps the local super department store near me can stock them in the arms department.
If this effort spreads as I think it will, perhaps we could start a National Drone Association, collecting money from businesses to support a lobbying effort to make sure no laws are passed to limit our second amendment rights, including that of having personal drones.
Of course, I am writing this tongue-in-cheek. I have no desire to have a drone and I am very wary of the ethical dimensions of drones anyway. I mean, how would I feel if another country used drones in my neighborhood? But I also wonder who is standing up for those of us who don't want guns in our houses and don't want to carry a military style weapon to work? I don't want my police department outgunned by the bad guys.
If you believe that the government has no right to infringe upon the second amendment, then carried to its extreme, they have no right to stop me from purchasing a drone. They also have no right to limit the sales of alcohol to minors, set highway speeds, or any other measures to keep us safe.
So, to ease the minds of my neighbors, rest assured, I don't want a drone and neither should you. There are some limits to our freedoms, such as not crying fire in a crowded theater or carrying a concealed weapon in a restaurant.

CHICAGO (AP) -- A new report says Illinois ranks 36th among the states for delivering health care services to its low-income residents.
The Commonwealth Fund released a scorecard Wednesday on how states are performing on health care coverage, prevention and treatment of low-income people.
The report looks at 30 health indicators and finds wide geographic variations with big gaps between the highest-performing and lowest-performing states.
The report's authors say Illinois could do much better. For example, nearly 200,000 low-income Illinois adults would get recommended care such as mammograms and flu shots, if Illinois did as well as the top-performing states.
The report defines "low income" as under 200 percent of the federal poverty level. That's about $23,000 annual income for an individual or about $47,000 for a family of four.

Random morning thoughts:
The teams led by the three still-active current or former Giants starting quarterbacks are a combined 26-4, and all three are in games featuring the Giants or Jets Sunday.
Ben Roethlisberger suggested Tuesday 50 percent of NFL players were just as clueless as Donovan McNabb about the way regular-season overtime works. Can that be true? Wow. ESPN's Steve Levy said this after watching the clip: "Ben, 50 percent? C'mon."
I covered new Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu when he played for the Alaska Goldpanners in 1983.
I am getting more reader emails than ever and having trouble keeping up. Not that there's anything wrong with that, except that I assume it is partly because many readers have become fed up with trying to use our maddening comments function.
I am told by Newsday.com sources they are working on getting the comments thing fixed, and more importantly that by March or April we likely will have an entirely new blogging system in place that will be more reliable and less annoying.

Professors Mária and Daniel Brewer are one of those academic couples people marvel at. Married in graduate school, they have found a perfect way to meld their professional and personal lives. They teach in the same University of Minnesota department, French and Italian. Their research areas--modern literature, theater, and critical thought (Mária) and the literature and culture of ancien régime France and the Enlightenment (Daniel)--complement each other, yet remain distinct. And since 2003 they have served as coeditors of the internationally renowned journal L'Esprit Créateur, which publishes articles on French and Francophone literature, film, criticism, and culture. Exploring all periods of French literature and thought, the journal has consistently helped define critical inquiry in French and Francophone studies.
The Brewers' dedication to L'Esprit Créateur, along with many other contributions promoting French culture and language and bridging France and the United States, have earned them a rare distinction: On Oct. 16, they were made chevaliers* in the French Ordre des Palmes Académiques.
The Palmes Académiques are awarded by the French Ministry of Education. Started in 1808 by Napoleon I and institutionalized in 1955 by Edgar Faure, president of the Council of the Fourth Republic, the Palmes Académiques honor individuals who have made major contributions to the expansion of French culture.
Speaking in French at the awards ceremony held on campus, Cultural Attaché Marie-Anne Toledano cited several reasons why the Brewers' award was exceptional. She highlighted the quality, richness, and creativity of their work, both individually and together, on L'Esprit Créateur. She noted that it's rare for two people to be awarded the Palmes Académiques at one time, but even rarer that the awards go to a married couple, "a man and a woman united in solidarity and as productive in their professional lives as in their private lives." Finally, she thanked them for their "relentless energy in the service of disseminating the French language and culture, both classic and contemporary."
*The highest decoration in France, equivalent to knighthood in Britain.

About Rotorua
Rotorua is a city in the north island on New Zealand. Situated by the Lake Rotorua, the city is known for its geysers and hot springs, which are a widely known tourist attraction today. Rotorua hostels are also known to backpackers and other travelers to the city which has about 55,000 citizens.
Rotorua's city central is compact so the best way to get around is walking or biking. There is also a small airport in the city, and it is served by some bus operators as well. Rotorua hostels are mainly situated in the heart of the city, and the value is generally very good. You'll be looking at 20NZD and upwards for a dorm bed in Rotorua, and a bit more for doubles and twins.
What is there to do when you visit a Rotorua hostel? The thermal activity spots are a big attraction. Motutara (translates as "The Sulphur Bay") is a walking path which goes through many hot springs and sulphur vents, and is well worth the time. Government Gardens is also a nice place to walk around in, and you can also go for a boat ride in one of the 14 lakes situated near the city.
If you want to spend some time relaxing, we recommend the Polynesian Spa. With plentiful spa options (bathing in mineral springs, different types of therapies), Polynesian Spa is a bit on the expensive side, but the value is great and the experience is something you won't easily find outside Rotorua.
For foodies who come to stay in a Rotorua hostel, we recommend trying the traditional Maori feast called "Hangi", which is essentially a local meat and vegetable dish which is cooked in a pit with extremely hot rocks, and results in a distinctive flavor.

House Appropriators Endorse Dangerously Low Funding Levels for Education
On Wednesday, the House Appropriations Committee approved
a measure that caps federal discretionary funding at $966 billion for Fiscal
Year (FY) 2014. This amount is the maximum discretionary spending allowed under
sequestration policy, and represents an $18 billion decrease from current FY 2013
Committee leaders also determined how they would divide that
total among the 12 appropriations bills. The individual FY 2014 funding level,
known as a 302(b) allocation, for the departments of Labor, Health and Human
Services, and Education will be $121 billion in the House, a reduction of over
18 percent from FY 2013! The level is so low because the House budget shifted
all of the sequester cuts from defense programs to non-defense discretionary programs,
including education and workforce development. From this amount, the
appropriators will divide up funding for individual programs like Perkins. The
Senate has not yet set funding caps for FY 2014, but they are expected to
authorize higher levels than the House.
These reduced funding levels are on top of $85 billion in
sequestration-mandated across-the-board cuts for FY 2013, with $58 million
coming from Perkins! The House is expected to produce appropriations bills that
will establish FY 2014 funding levels for Perkins and other programs within the
next few months. Because the overall amount of funding available has been substantially
reduced, the Perkins appropriation could be cut below the current level in the
House bill. While we still have a long way to go, it is important that Congress
understands that we cannot continue to cut federal resources for essential CTE
programs. Tell Congress it's time to make investing in CTE a priority!

Police respond to billiard hall scuffle
Updated On: Feb 07 2013 11:35:56 AM EST
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office's aggravated battery team responded to Riggsy's Billiards on the Southside after a fight early Thursday morning.
Police responded to the scene located in the Winn-Dixie parking lot in the 8700 block of Old Kings Road Sout around 2 a.m.
Officers at the scene told Channel 4 someone reported hearing a gunshot, and when they arrived, officers heard people arguing.
According to JSO, once officers separated everyone, they saw a man with a gun. They told that man to drop the gun and he complied. There were no reports of any injures.
Officers detained several people, but there had not been any arrests.

Unemployment in Georgia jumped back into double digits last month while Tennessee's elevated jobless rate failed to follow the nationwide decline in July, according to data released Thursday.
"This was a different kind of recession and it's playing out as a different kind of recovery," University of Tennessee economist Bill Fox said. "Unemployment is remaining stubbornly high and I'm afraid the jobless rate will go down pretty slowly this year."
Despite above-average private-sector job growth in Tennessee over the past year, the state's jobless rate in July was unchanged at 9.8 percent -- 0.7 percent above the U.S. rate. The Volunteer State shed 9,000 government jobs in the past year, including 4,700 census jobs that ended after the 2010 population count.
"Construction and durable goods manufacturing are both showing strong short- and long-term growth which is better than we've seen during the past few years," Tennessee Labor Commissioner Karla Davis said.
Georgia recorded its first July gain in manufacturing jobs in 18 years, adding 1,400 jobs. But Georgia Labor Commissioner Mark Butler said the number of Georgians at work is still down by 28,400 from a year ago, boosting unemployment in the Peach State to a five-month high of 10.1 percent.
"I believe the recent lack of leadership in Washington is a contributing factor to the overall lack of confidence in the economy," Butler said. "Due to this lack of confidence, we are seeing a business community which is hesitant to make further investments in this economy."

Preventing Drug Abuse
Government research has shown that to be effective, a drug prevention program must be built on scientifically accurate information about the harmful effects of drugs. In honor of Red Ribbon Week, October 23 through 31, here are my picks for educating ourselves and our kids about drug and substance abuse.
The Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, a division of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, publishes this magazine-style site to educate teens about the "the real deal behind marijuana." It has articles ("Coming Clean: How to Talk to Your Parents About Your Drug Use"), research data (such as a state-by-state penalties for possession of marijuana) , and links to additional sites. The interactive time line of marijuana laws, starting in 1900, is very interesting and chock-full of dates you might need for a school report.
The National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign has a very hip site, with games, e-cards, discussion forums and the straight scoop on drugs. To learn about drugs in general ("Why People Take Drugs") or specifically (alphabetically from alcohol to tranquilizers) jump to Heads Up. To voice your opinions, visit the bulletin board. What are your own reasons for not doing drugs? Do they include your desire to do your best in sports, be creative in music or honor your family? Discover, develop and share your own reasons in the interactive Your Anti-Drug section.
Mothers Against Drunk Driving are also against underage drinking. Their extensive site includes sections for various age groups (elementary, junior/senior high school, college, and parents); and a vast collection of scary statistics ("The median age at which children begin drinking is 13. Young people who begin drinking before age 15 are four times more likely to develop alcohol dependence than those who begin drinking at age 21.") Truth & Consequences is an excellent click that debunks many popular myths about alcohol.
In 1985, Special Agent Enrique 'Kiki" Camarena of the Drug Enforcement Agency was kidnapped and killed by Mexican drug traffickers. Each October, thousands of schools and communities demonstrate their commitment to a drug-free life by celebrating Red Ribbon Week in his honor. Red Ribbon Works offers ideas for implementing Red Ribbon Week, informative anti-drug articles for parents and teachers, and a catalog of products (such as stickers and ribbons) to purchase for Red Ribbon Week..
"Hi! My name is Sara Bellum. Welcome to my website exploring the brain's response to drugs." Sara's Quest, created by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, teaches middle-schoolers the effects of drug abuse on the body and the brain. It includes background information on brain anatomy, and chapters on marijuana, opiates, inhalants, hallucinogens, steroids, stimulants, nicotine and methamphetamine. After perusing the materials, take the animated Sara's Quest Challenge to test your knowledge.
