A technical pant for every day use. Freedom of movement meets durability, water resistance and breathability.
The Schoeller Dryskin fabric looks elegant, yet repels water. But when it does saturate, it will dry in minutes (generally around 15-20). The Doubleweave structure means it's tough and durable on the exterior, yet soft and comfortable inside. The four way stretch doubles down on that comfort and means these pants will move freely through any situation.

First CGI Smurf Smurfs His Way Into A Poster
By Josh Tyler 2009-09-01 01:59:48 comments
The first ever teaser poster for Sonys live-action, computer animation combo take on The Smurfs appears to tralalad its way online. Actually theres some disagreement as to whether its real. Ive heard from a couple different sources that it could be a fake while the usually reliable folks at Coming Soon insist its the real deal.
If its real, then this is our first look at what a computer generated Smurf might look like. He seems as shocked as we are that this movie is happening. The poster in question can be found below or full size over at PVC Blue. If its real then hopefully at some point, Sony will send out a better, high-res version.

Students Not Drinking Enough Water, Even When It's Handed to Them
Less than one-third of kids and teens meet the daily recommended daily water intake for their age group. To improve that statistic, the USDA issued a mandate to go into effect at the beginning of the 2011-2012 school year stating the schools participating in the National School Lunch Program must provide free drinking water to students.
Researchers from the University of Michigan and University of Illinois have found the majority of schools have met the mandate and provide water to their students during lunch. But the real trick is getting students to actually drink more water.

TAKOMA PARK, Md. (WUSA) -- After "some confusion" about incidents that happened on the Sligo Creek Trail, Maryland-National Capital Park Police Chief Antonio DeVaul felt compelled to write a letter to its users. The letter, or community advisory, released on Tuesday said, in part:
"Sligo Creek Trail Users:
I want to assure all trail users that the safety our trail users is an absolute priority for our agency. There seems to be some confusion regarding recent incidents along the trail. There have NOT been any recent sexual assaults along the Sligo Creek Trail. Other than the incident that occurred on January 12th, where a female jogger was followed by a male subject on the trail in the area of Heather Avenue, we have had no suspicious incidents. A male on male sex assault did occur on December 21, 2012 at one of our parks in Takoma Park, Flower Avenue Park. Park Police Detectives were out recently in the Takoma Park area passing out a composite sketch of the suspects involved in that case. This may have caused some confusion amongst the citizenry. [NOTE:
The incident occurred outside of the City of Takoma Park].
Due to the recent suspicious situation we have instituted a Directed Patrol for the Sligo Creek Trail. Officers will be actively patrolling the trail on foot, in vehicles, on horseback and on motorcycle."
The chief then encouraged the users to take safety precautions such as never walking alone, always being observant of their surroundings and trusting their instincts to not walk somewhere if they feel uncomfortable.
If you do need to call the park police, put their emergency number into your cell phone for later use. The number is 301-949-3010.


text: Trying to remove a bottom bracket off a frame, however I could not get it off just with the tool and socket wrench. So I did what Park Tools says, I screwed the tool in to the axle with a bolt and attempted to remove it with a 12 inch adjustable spanner (it's on the drive side, so turned it clockwise). That didn't work so I mounted it a vice but it still wouldn't budge. Is there any other method of removing it (drilling, or any thing else) or is the frame a write off?

Sour note: Oasis Jazz Awards canceled
Only Friday's independently produced "In Concert for Cancer" on the flight deck of the USS Midway Museum will go on as planned
The Oasis Contemporary Jazz Awards is a mirage. The smooth jazz concert series and awards show, which was scheduled to be held at various San Diego venues Thursday through Sunday, was abruptly called off Monday. Only Friday night's independently produced "In Concert for Cancer," a benefit show for Scripps Cancer Center aboard the USS Midway Museum, will go on as scheduled.
"We canceled due to dismal ticket sales. We will announce the refund procedure on our Web site," Oasis founder Bill Paddock Monday evening, responding to an e-mail from the San Diego Union-Tribune. As recently as a March 3 interview with the Union-Tribune, he gave no indication that the Oasis event was in jeopardy, let alone that ticket sales were "dismal."
Just how dismal those sales were was spelled out in an e-mail message the Tulsa-based Paddock posted on the event's Web site.
"We signed the biggest names in the business, almost 50 of them, and planned two exciting shows. And it fell flat," the message reads in part.
"We sold barely 200 VIP tickets and 50 individual tickets over a four-month period."
The Oasis Awards was launched in 2000 in Fort Worth. It was held in 2001 in Chicago and in 2002 at San Diego's Golden Hall in 2002, where it drew a full house. However, a planned 2003 edition in Los Angeles never materialized.
Paddock, who had sold his rights to the event after the 2002 edition in San Diego, decided last year to revive Oasis in 2011 in San Diego. In a preview story published in Sunday's Union-Tribune, he acknowledged that smooth jazz had lost much of its national popularity in the intervening years since the last Oasis Awards show was held here.
"It certainly makes it a challenge for us, because radio stations -- in very large numbers -- have dropped the smooth jazz format," Paddock said in Sunday's article.
One of the few stations to continue -- and thrive with -- a smooth jazz format is San Diego's KIFM 98.1, a key Oasis sponsor.
Saxophonist Dave Koz, who was to serve as host of Saturday's Oasis Awards presentations and concert at the San Diego Civic Theatre, is featured week nights on KIFM as the host of its "Lite's Out Lounge" show. KIFM's Web site, which as recently as this weekend featured a large promo for the Oasis-related shows, now only includes a listing for "In Concert for Jazz" and makes no apparent reference to the aborted Oasis events.
News of the cancelation was slow in getting to at least some of the artists and nominees who were scheduled to perform or be honored. Former San Diego bassist Nathan East, who returned yesterday from a concert tour abroad with top smooth jazz band Fourplay, was unaware that Oasis Awards would not be happening when reached late Monday night by the Union-Tribune.
"I just arrived in Los Angeles from Indonesia and this is news to me," East said. "Wow! I have not been contacted by anyone (with Oasis) yet."
The dismal 250 advance ticket sales for the Oasis Awards shows is less than half of the total sold for Friday's independently produced "In Concert for Cancer."
"We've sold more than 500 tickets, so far" said Michele Abrams, whose Cjazz concert production company is staging "In Concert for Cancer" independently. The event on the Midway will accommodate all Oasis VIP ticket holders, whose VIP packages included admission to the Friday night concert.
"In Concert for Cancer" is also stepping up on behalf of the winners of the 54 pairs of tickets KIFM gave away to Saturday's now-canceled Oasis Awards concert and awards ceremony at the Civic Theatre. The winners of those 54 pairs of tickets will be admitted free to the concert on the Midway, according to Abrams.

Hey, folks,
I am trying to learn what options are available for guiding an imaging rig at 1200-2000mm, with resolution limited primarily only by the atmosphere (arc sec. per pix between 1 and 2). Is there any difference between the goto and non-goto G11 for this purpose?
I am thinking of a new model, or at least one recently made, so it would come equipped with the latest motors.
G11: Goto or non-goto for tracking purposes?

Butler to probe logging operation
Butler Township officials plan to inspect a logging operation after complaints and concerns from residents in a neighboring development.
Paul Feno, a member of the township planning commission and a resident of Beech Mountain Lakes, talked to the supervisors Wednesday about its timbering ordinance and the Greco logging operation on the mountain above his development.
Feno, who brought concerns about water runoff to the township zoning officer, called in the Luzerne County Conservation District and inspected the site, he said. The conservation district plans to send the owners a letter to express concerns, he said.
But Feno asked the supervisors to revisit its timbering ordinance, which allows clear-cutting of trees.
"We shouldn't allow clear-cutting," he said, adding the ordinance should require a certain percentage of trees be left on the property.
Township engineer Joseph Calabrese, of RJD Engineering, explained that Butler's ordinance was patterned after a model ordinance from Penn State, but stronger ordinances, such as Salem Township's, are available.
Feno explained that he understands the importance of timbering in the state, which is heavily wooded, especially in central and western portions, but not in more urban areas.
"We need a stronger timbering ordinance," he said, adding that the zoning officer should do weekly inspections of logging operations.
The Greco property, which started its operation before the timbering ordinance was enacted, was grandfathered in, but other areas of zoning law do apply, such as the stabilization of slopes.
Township Manager Maryanne Petrilla said she would set up an inspection with the engineer, the manager from Beech Mountain Lakes and the zoning officer to see if violations exist.
Zoning ordinance
Township officials continue to review and prepare to update the zoning ordinance.
The changes could be complete and ready for public hearings and comments as soon as September.
Traffic light
Construction on a traffic signal at the intersection of state Route 309 and the entrance to the CAN DO Corporate Center could begin in three weeks, Calabrese said. He didn't know if it would be completed by the start of school in September, saying it would be close.

Fans arriving late to Kenston's hockey match against Cleveland Hts. over the weekend missed all the offense.
Just 93 seconds into the first period, the Bombers' Alex Petre scored on a right-handed slap shot past the Tigers goalie and it seemed Kenston was off and running.
But it was a defensive effort that won the day. Despite outshooting Cleveland Hts. 21-6 through the first two periods, the Bombers' strong penalty kill, even staving off two five-on-three situations, was the team's strength. Final was 2-0 on a late Zack Kinney empty-net goal, putting the Bombers at .500 for the season.
"We were lucky to win tonight," said coach Tom Beard in his first season leading the Bombers. Beard said the Tigers looked tired after beating C.V.C.A the night before. "They are a good team, very well coached. And we survived by the skin of our teeth. The thing we worked on last week was defensive zone. Unfortunately, we got too much experience there at the end of the game. Right now we're playing selfish hockey, but a win is a win. We'll take it."
Kenston goalie Jimmy Sciortino pitched a shutout despite some strong opportunities by the Tigers' Trey Hopkins. With Kinney running the defense and finding teammates, the Bombers had just the right mix to come away with the win.
Beard moved Cooper Nash from defenseman to left wing in the lineup, which paid immediate dividends, with Nash finding Petre for that opening goal assist.
Also, Pat Lyons has moved to forward. Lyons was a senior leader, Beard said, and after consulting with former coach Jim Revak, he decided Lyons could thrive in the position.
"We came in, and we knew they were going to be a tough team," said Lyons. "And it's a credit to our defense. We've been working on our defensive zone in preparation for this weekend."
Lyons found himself in the penalty box three times in the game. One assistant coach asked Lyons how it felt inside the box. "It was very roomy, very, very roomy," he said without smiling. "I spend some time in there."
The team's five seniors have had to adjust to coach Beard's program after so many years with Revak.
"It's a good experience," Lyons said. "Mr. Revak had been with us since youth hockey. It's a change not for the positive, not for the negative, but a good change."
"It's been great," Beard said. "We have a great bunch of seniors, and they've worked hard and they've done everything we've asked them to do. Our goal is to compete for a Baron Cup title, and I think we can do that."
Beard had been at University Schools with his brother, Bill, who is still leading the Preppers hockey program. Beard said he still talks with his brother everyday about hockey.
"These kids are hard workers, and having 12 kids is a lot different than having 24, but they work really hard," Beard said.
The Bombers also hope Nick Levine, who has missed time due to a concussion, and Ryan Malik, who is waiting on his eligibility status from the Ohio High School Athletic Association, will join the team soon.
With this game Cleveland Hts. dropped to 9-9-1 on the season in the Blue East. The Greater Cleveland High School Hockey League is broken down into three divisions: the Red being the largest schools, the White in the middle and the Blue Division being the smallest. West Geauga competes in the Blue Division; Kenston competes in the White East Division.
Kenston went on to play a 4-4 tie with Mayfield and a 9-2 win against Benedictine. In the final day, the Bombers again blanked Cleveland Hts., this time 1-0 in a shootout.

Renewable Energy Can Drive Economic Growth
This week Applied Materials hosted an event at the World Economic Forum in Davos — a dinner and conversation on how renewable energy can be a key driver for economic growth. The distinguished group of panelists, speaking before a capacity crowd of almost 100 people, included: Applied Materials' very own Chairman and CEO Mike Splinter; New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman; and Duke Energy CEO Jim Rogers. Fox Business Network anchor Liz Claman did an excellent job moderating this fascinating exchange. And with a special appearance by Nobel Prize-winning and 2008 recipient of the James C. Morgan Global Humanitarian Award, Muhammad Yunus, who spoke about his inspiring work bringing affordable solar power to the villages in his native Bangladesh, the night was anything but staid.
There was a broad consensus among the panelists that in order for the U.S. to usher in a low-carbon economy, a focus on renewables is a must. China, as Friedman rightly pointed out, is sprinting ahead in the clean energy race and has little intent of slowing down. Historically, the U.S. has not been accustomed to playing catch up to anyone, but that is exactly what will continue to happen if we don't take swift action now.
With the right mix of a low-cost financing mechanism for renewable projects coupled with long-term, stable policies such as a strong national RES, the U.S. can once again become a leader in the clean energy sector. Hearing President Obama's commitment to clean technology in his State of the Union address and how that will lead to job creation in the short and long term was certainly well-received by many of the forum's attendees.
Hopefully that message also resonated with Senate leadership across the pond who will be grappling with passing either climate change/energy legislation this year. It would behoove our lawmakers to reflect on WEF's ambitious theme this year — Improving the State of the World — as they begin to take up the issue again. Without a serious provision for renewable energy in whatever bill we end up with, the chance for meaningful improvement will be greatly undermined.

Tyson Forbes notably walked the boards as Thomas Jefferson in the Guthrie's 2007 production of 1776; to cement his connection to American history, he also happens to be a direct descendent of transcendentalist intellectual Ralph Waldo Emerson. Nature is an original work by Forbes, a "walking play" that moves its audience through the natural splendor of the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum while depicting the friendship between Emerson (Forbes) and Henry David Thoreau (Sam Elmore). The show purports to be a playful one, and features music on bagpipes, flutes, recorders, voice, and violin. Emerson and Thoreau were fixated on the relationship between humanity and nature, often with a good deal more wit and humor than we might remember from high school English. Combine their spiritual seeking with a good story and a lovely day, and we may be on to something. For more info, visit www.tigerlion.org/nature.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Will a verbal agreement like this hold up in small claims court? I don't know what Missouri law is about that? Also I don't know what her new address is, but I have sent her text messages demanding the payment by next Friday, so does that count as a written demand?
Response 1: Yes, you can sue her based on verbal agreement. However, if you do not know where she is, it will be very difficult to sue her because the notice of your lawsuit must be sent to her. Text her and ask her what her new address is and see how she responds.
but I have sent her text messages demanding the payment by next Friday, so does that count as a written demand?
Response 2: Yes, because you two have been texting each other. Also, you do not know her new address. Thus, you cannot sent her written demand by regular mail.
Click below for Missouri Small Claims Forms and procedures:
Missouri § 441. 065
A landlord may remove or dispose of any property that remains in or at the premises after the tenant abandons it. The property is deemed abandoned if the:
(1) landlord has a reasonable belief that the tenant has vacated the premises and intends not to return and posts written notice of abandonment on the premises and mails a copy of it to the tenant's last known address;
(2) rent is due and has been unpaid for 30 days; and
(3) tenant fails to either pay rent or respond in writing to the landlord's notice within 10 days.
The notice must include a warning that the landlord may dispose of the property remaining on the premises unless the tenant contacts the landlord within 10 days and informs him that the property is not abandoned.

The poll also finds that 8% of adults own items made of ivory, which equates to almost four million* British residents.

Ipsos MORI interviewed a nationally representative quota sample of 2,023 adults in GB aged 15+. Interviews were carried out face-to-face, in home, using CAPI (Computer Aided Personal Interviewing Laptops), as part of the Ipsos MORI Omnibus (Capibus). Fieldwork was conducted from 11-17 March 2011. The results have been weighted to reflect the known profile of the adult GB population. They are weighted on age, social grade, region and work status-within gender. The data are also weighted on housing tenure and ethnicity.
* Using ONS 2009 mid-year estimates, the GB population aged 15+ is 49,564,800. A total of 8% say they own items made of ivory, equating to nearly 4 million people. Based on a confidence interval of approx +/- 1.3% and the sample size of 2,023 the actual number could vary between c3.3 and 4.6 million adults aged 15+.

The Rajarani Temple in Bhubaneswar, Orissa, was built between the 10th an 11th century from reddish gold sandstone known as Rajarani in the local parlance. It is also contended that the temple was initially known as Indreswara Temple devoted to the worship of Lord Shiva though the temple oddly lacks in a presiding deity.
Set amidst swaying paddy fields and surrounded by blooming flowers in Old Bhubaneswar, the Rajarani Temple is seen as a step forward from the changes introduced in the construction of the small but elegant Mukteswara Temple.
Like Mukteswara Temple, Rajarani Temple stands on a raised platform. Its spire is decorated with clusters of turrets (replication of the spire itself) emerging form the rib of the spire. The sculptures on the Rajarani Temple have a depth that was lacking in the Mukteswara Temple sculptures. The Jagamohana (porch) though demonstrating a pyramidal structure is yet to take on as a complete structure of its own. It bears signs of repair in 1903 when it collapsed into ruins.
The square sanctum is typically of the later temples built at Puri and Bhubaneswar white the gateway (torana) guarded by two pillars draped in snakes is plain to the extent that it appears to be incomplete as against the ornate deul of the Rajarani Temple that also marks the advent of colossal spires. You too can study the evolution of Kalinga School of architecture or simply marvel at the sculptures vertically elongated as compared to the prior horizontal depictions.
The sculptures adorning the walls of the deul are alive and energetic. Especially attractive are the sculptures of women in dance poses that hint at the practice of Odissi dance, coquettish women, women carrying children, looking at their reflection in the mirror or playing becomingly with birds and nature.
You too can see the 'Guardians of the Eight Directions' projecting from the base of the temple in the eight directions, starting from the gateway in a clockwise direction around the porch and the deul to end back at the torana. The eight guardians that you'll see on your tour to the Rajarani Temple with Tourism of Orissa tour packages are Indra (god of rain), Agni (god of fire), Yama (god of death), Nirriti (god of suffering), Varuna (god of ocean), Vayu (god of wind), Kubera (god of wealth) and Ishana (Shiva).
Tourism of Orissa offers specialized tour bookings, and travel packages for temples in Orissa. To book your tour, or for more information, please fill the form below.

Institutional Aid
2010 BAC Returning Student Grant
The 2010 BAC Returning Student Grant is awarded to undergraduate students who were accepted into an undergraduate degree program prior to fall 2010 and have been actively enrolled during the prior 4 semesters.
Federal Aid
Federal Direct Subsidized Stafford Loan
The Subsidized Stafford Loan is a need-based loan awarded to students with financial need, as determined by the FAFSA. The interest on the Subsidized Stafford Loan is paid for by the US Government while a student is enrolled in at least 6 academic credits in a degree granting program.
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan
The Unsubsidized Stafford Loan is awarded to students without financial need, as determined by the FAFSA. Interest on the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan accrues regardless of a students' enrollment in a degree bearing program. The accrued interest is added to the principal balance if the student chooses not to pay it on a monthly basis.
Federal Direct PLUS Loans
These loans are available to parents of dependent students and graduate students. Graduate students may only borrow the PLUS loan after they have borrowed the maximum Stafford Loans for the year. Approval of Federal Direct PLUS Loans is based on the borrower's credit. The Federal Direct PLUS loan is an unsubsidized loan, therefore interest will start accruing once the loan has been disbursed.
Federal Pell Grant
Federal Pell Grants provide awards of up to a maximum of $5350.00 for the full academic year to eligible students with the greatest financial need. Students enrolled in less than 12 credits may be eligible to receive Federal Pell Grants on a pro-rated basis. These funds are awarded to students who have not earned their first baccalaureate degree.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (BAC/FSEOG)
The BAC Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (BAC/FSEOG) is a federally and college funded program that is awarded to eligible students with the greatest financial need as determined by the FAFSA. These grants are awarded to undergraduate dependent and independent students. First consideration is given to those students who complete the FAFSA by the April 15th priority deadline.
State Aid
The MassGrant program is administered by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for undergraduate students residing in state with exceptional financial need. Students must be enrolled in at least 12 credits per semester in order to be eligible for a MassGrant. Only Massachusetts legal residents are qualified to receive the MassGrant. The priority deadline for the MassGrant is May 1st.
Part-time MassGrants
Part-time MassGrants are available for undergraduate students residing in Massachusetts with exceptional financial need who are enrolled in at least 6 credits and less than 12 credits each semester. The availability of Part-time MassGrant funding is limited. Awards are generally made to those students who completed their FAFSA by the state priority deadline.
Massachusetts Gilbert Grants
Massachusetts Gilbert Grants are for dependent undergraduate students residing in state with exceptional financial need. Students must be enrolled in at least 12 credits per semester in order to be eligible for this grant. First consideration will be given to those students who meet the BAC priority deadline.
Other State Aid
Many states offer additional resources to their students, even if they are studying outside their state of residence. Students are encouraged to contact their state's education financing authority for further details.
Other Aid
Alternative Private Loans
Private loans are available to assist students with their educational expenses at the BAC. Eligibility for an alternative loan is based on the borrower's credit rating. In most cases, a co-signer is required. The interest rate varies according to the lender. The student does not have to complete a FAFSA to apply for alternative education loans. It is recommended that students apply for Federal Stafford Loans and grants before applying for an alternative education loan. Please contact the financial aid office at: (617) 585-0125 if you are experiencing difficulty obtaining private loans.
The BAC does not maintain a list of preferred lenders. Potential borrowers are encouraged to research all available options before choosing a lender. For more information and a list of private alternative loans please visit: http://www.finaid.org/loans/privateloan.phtml.
Veteran's Benefits
The BAC is approved by the Higher Education Coordinating Board's State Approving Agency for enrollment of those eligible to receive benefits under Title 38 and Title 10, of the U.S. Code to authorize veteran's benefit programs for all degree programs currently offered, as well as the Landscape Institute certificate programs.

I haven't heard too much about this until I drove by the area last weekend. Sounds like a Somerset meets West Glen type of thing, mixed with schools, police, etc. Didn't know if it was ever talked about much on Cyclone Fanatic.

America's Got Talent: American Idol's Lauren Alaina Turned Down Twice For Show!
June 03, 2011 10:00 AM by Lisa Princ
This week brought us the season premiere of America's Got Talent on NBC and also the revelation that American Idol season ten runner up, Lauren Alaina was actually rejected from the talent show – not once, but twice! How could anyone turn her down? Keep reading for all the details!
America's Got Talent's loss was American Idol's gain as teen Country singer Lauren Alaina shared with Jay Leno this week how she was turned down for the talent show twice. As the 16 year old sat next to judge Piers Morgan on The Tonight Show she informed him that she was turned down for America's Got Talent twice. Lauren stated "You denied me! I swear. Look it up… I didn't make it past the first round."
Piers Morgan, who initially told Lauren that she should have won over Scotty McCreery seemed genuinely surprised by the teen's revelation and responded with "This is a scandal.This is now what Americans call – this is awkward. I'm going to get these producers! The moment this finishes, I'm getting them!" Lauren just laughed it off saying anyone who cannot get on America's Got Talent can apply for American Idol instead. But the question remains – how could anyone turn away such a beautiful voice? We may never know, but in any event we bet that Lauren is going to be very successful no matter which show she came from!
What did you think of the season six premiere of America's Got Talent? Comment and share your thoughts with us below and then be sure to tune in to NBC tonight at 8 pm EST to see these awesome acts and much more on the jam packed two hour season premiere!

This should come as no surprise. Lauren is not that good. Maybe some years from now, but not now. Her run on Idol was filled with incredible, ridiculous hype from beginning to end. Thia Megia actually made it on both AGT and AI. I've never thought Lauren was so much better than Thia. Apparently, neither did AGT.

South Lake Tahoe Investment Broker Sentenced for Stealing from Clients' Accounts
|U.S. Attorney's Office October 12, 2012
SACRAMENTO, CA—United States District Judge Garland E. Burrell, Jr. sentenced Lori Zoval, 47, of South Lake Tahoe, today to three years and eight months in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release, for embezzling client money while employed as a licensed investment broker with a brokerage firm in Folsom, United States Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner announced. A hearing was scheduled for November 2, 2012, to determine the restitution amount.
According to court documents, Zoval pleaded guilty to using her position of trust to embezzle at least $24,939 from the investment and retirement accounts of her clients between October 2005 and April 2006. At sentencing, however, the court found that Zoval has stolen more than $430,000 from these clients, a married couple close to retirement. At an earlier hearing, the couple testified to the financial and personal devastation the fraud had caused.
At sentencing, the court specifically found that Zoval had fraudulently created documents making it appear that her clients authorized money transfers from their accounts and took steps to lull the victims into believing that she was making legitimate and profitable investments on their behalf. Judge Burrell rejected Zoval's argument for a sentence of probation, noting that Zoval had "concocted a fraudulent scheme through which she manipulated and stole from the victims" to whom she had ingratiated herself. Judge Burrell continued, "Her actions show a lack of respect for the law and her failure to accept full responsibility for what she did."
This case is the product of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Camil A. Skipper, Audrey B. Hemesath, and Robin R. Taylor prosecuted the case.

Jugend Magazine
January – June 1918
The late 19th century marked the beginning of one of the greatest explosions of culture in modern times. Two forces were colliding- modern industrial technology, and a revolution in hand made arts and crafts. At first, these two things seem to be mutually exclusive, but they came together perfectly in a Geman magazine called Jugend. Titled after the German word for "youth", Jugend was at the forefront of the arts and crafts movement. In fact, in Germany, art nouveau came to be known as "jugend-stil" (Jugend style). Utilizing state of the art color printing techniques to reproduce hand drawn lettering and beautiful sketches and paintings, Jugend set a standard in graphic design that continues to be felt to this day.
This PDF e-book contains all of the major illustrations from the first six issues published in 1918, and includes an introduction by Stephen Worth. This PDF e-book is optimized for display on the iPad or printing two up with a cover on 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper.

Woohoo! Just 'spent' $150 at the Live Nation Store on music and xmas gifts for the kids. We had a $150 promo code cause DH won some Battleship game with Coke Rewards. Awesome.
Also, we likely won't have to buy a new dishwasher. DH thinks he knows the part that's broken, and found that for $30 on Ebay, so keeping our fingers crossed! In the meantime, doing dishes by hand? Waaaaaaah! I'm so NOT made for that, lol.
Camilla, DH '06, DS '08, DD '10, DS '12
I'm so spoiled by my dishwasher! I don't think I could live without it anymore... I can't put my cookie sheets in the dishwasher. Last time I made cookies, I think they sat on the counter for 2 weeks. It didn't seem worth it to fill the sink with water for 2 pans, since they don't get that dirty from cookies anyway.

Speaking of my son-- I am 5'2". My husband is 5'9". My eleven year old is five two with a size eleven mans shoe. He better grow into those feet but if he does where does that come from?!?!!
But because he's so big and autistic I've had my gambit of rude comments. So much that for a long time I wouldn't go out and beame reclusive. When my brother died I was working and I had to finish my day and make arrangements to go be with my family. I was so hurt and just wanted to be home with my family. I went to go get lunch at Whataburger and the lady asked "how can I help you?" and I just started bawling. What I wanted was a hug. What I wanted was my family. That poor lady was scared to death. It made me realize that we never know what is happening to the people we encounter. We don't know their pain. So we should always be nice and helpful and keep our damn opinions to our damn selves unless otherwise warranted. Like on a baby board, NOT in the grocery store.
I hate not having a functional dishwasher. I think the one in this house leaks and I don't want to test that out, so I've been washing by hand. I'm starting to get used to it but I still don't like it! I don't usually wash cookie pans. I just wipe them down after I use them, unless they're crusty, which they almost never are. If they're crusty I'll wash them.
I just ordered from Wazoodle. I hope the new customer service is better than it used to be! (crosses fingers)

who here that sells, still stocks hyenacart? I'm on the fence about whether I should stock that or my fb store. I can't get my fans to tell me what they'd rather, either, for some reason.

I have always washed dishes by hand, it's a pain but I'm used to it. We recently got a dishwasher but it's not fully installed yet. Can't wait!
My dss is a big boy, he was 55 lbs and I can't remember the height but I think 43" the last time I measured. He'll be 5 next month.
I got a sposie cake at my work baby shower. This is what my kitten thought of that-
Oh, Avrocks, I wish more mothers of autistic kids were more forthcoming with their stories like you. My autistic brother is 6'2" (last I saw him, at 18) and people have said some of the most terrible things to him and me, when we are together... As if him trying to be like everyone else wasn't hard enough to begin with! :(

I hate washing dishes with a passion. We use the dishwasher for everything except pots and pans.

Solvents generally are subject to a wide variety of federal and state regulations governing their manufacture, processing, distribution, use and disposal. These include regulations governing the storage and disposal of hazardous wastes, workplace exposure limits, requirements for the safe transport of chemical substances, and regulations pertaining to the release of chemicals to environmental media, including air, land, and water. This section focuses on federal programs that regulate emissions of solvents to air, with a particular emphasis on programs designed to reduce emissions of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and listed hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Because these programs can have a significant impact on solvent users, it is important to understand how these programs work.
While this regulatory section focuses on federal programs, it also highlights a few, selected state programs that affect solvents. Solvent users may be affected by additional state-specific programs, depending on their locations. To learn more about regulatory requirements in a particular area, solvent users should contact the appropriate state or local government agency.
Federal Regulations—Clean Air Regulatory Programs
The Clean Air Act deals with a variety of air-related environmental concerns, including acid rain, hazardous air pollutants, visibility in national parks, depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer, and formation of ground-level ozone. This section focuses on two types of air programs—those that address ground-level ozone formation, and those that regulate air releases of listed hazardous air pollutants, or HAPs.
Federal and state permitting programs are not discussed here. Solvent users should be aware that permitting programs can impose substantial record-keeping and reporting requirements.
State Regulations
Most states operate their own air toxics programs. Additionally, most VOC regulations are established by state or local authorities, often pursuant to guidance issued by EPA. Also, many states manage their own emergency planning and community right-to-know programs analogous to the federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). Examples of some of these state programs and regulatory requirements are presented below:
Solvents can help make showers, toilets, tubs, carpets and other household items both easier to clean and more hygienic.

I have been with my company for almost 2 years and never had a write up. If I called into work I always followed procedure and called in and provided documentation for being absent.Last week my mom had emergency heart surgery and my mom is the one who watches my 4 kids. I am a single mom so she is my only option. While my mother was in surgery, I had to make sure my kids were picked up from school and I was late for work. I did tell my employer that I was under alot of stress and very emotional due to my mothers surgery. I also recommended that I take off work under FMLA. But it was not taken into consideration.
My female assistant manager treated me different then my coworkers. She is very cold toward me. When I walked in the door at work My asst manager told me she was sending me home till I talk to the General Manager. As I am leaving, My GM walks in so I talk to him and explained I was late and being sent home. I told him what was going on with my mom and asked him to please let me take a little time off work and he agreed. He said that he will call me later. I never got a phone call. In the mean time I had 3 co workers call me telling me that Ive been fired. I finally texted him 4 days later and asked him what was going on and he tells me to call the asst manager. I call the asst manager and she tells me "I THINK we let you go but im not sure" and she tells me to contact the GM. So I text him again and tell him asst manager dont know what is going on. He responds "If she dont know whats going on then I dont know whats going on". Then he tells me he will find out tomorrow. ok? I feel like I am getting the run around.
If I am fired, I would have liked to have my check days ago. Also when someone is terminated, Its policy and procedure that termination papers are signed. I feel like this is being handled all wrong. I was under the impression that I was gonna take some FMLA time off and come back to work. What are my rights if I am fired? Can they do this?

Detail from the coat of arms granted to Nathan Mayer Rothschild by the English College of Heralds, 1818 (The Rothschild Archive).
In the early 19th century, the five sons of Mayer Amschel Rothschild set out from the family home in Frankfurt to the principal financial centres of Europe – London, Paris, Frankfurt, Naples and Vienna, to establish their great banking houses.
The brothers remained closely connected to their father and to each other and together worked as a partnership, binding themselves by contract to clear, defined objectives and principles. They created the fastest and safest courier network in Europe by which they exchanged market information, and soon positioned themselves as the best informed and most internationally effective banking group in the world.
Today, 200 years later, we continue the approach established by the five Rothschild brothers. Our working style emphasises integrity and intellectual rigour. We constantly share knowledge and skills to bring our experience and expertise to any challenge or problem, anywhere around the world. We seek to innovate and improve in every area where we do business and are recognised by our creativity and flair.
The Rothschild family motto 'Concordia, Integritas, Industria' translates as 'Harmony, Integrity, Industry'. This has underpinned the family's actions for over 200 years and remains central to our values today.

Alyson Hannigan Says No Thanks To The Buffy The Vampire Slayer Remake
By Josh Tyler and Jason J. Hughes 2009-12-02 13:45:21 comments
Theres been talk for months now about a reboot of Joss Whedons Buffy the Vampire Slayer series. Plans are underway to relaunch it as a new movie franchise (more on that here), a movie franchise with no connection to the popular television series and worse, no involvement from creator Joss Whedon.
Today we had a chance to sit down with former Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Alyson Hannigan. She played Buffys nerdy yet loveable sidekick Willow during the shows run and for my money it was she, not Buffy, who was by far the best part of the series. Willows one of the biggest reasons Buffy worked as well as it did and though Hannigan has now moved on to other things (like How I Met Your Mother) its almost impossible to imagine any Buffy project without her. Well start imagining.
We asked her about those Buffy remake plans and she seems as perturbed by the whole thing as the shows fans. When we asked her what she thought of Buffy without Joss she said, "Yeah, and that's a very big mistake in my opinion. Whedon wrote both the 90s movie and ran the subsequent spin-off television show she was a part of. So it makes sense that Hannigan says, I mean if Joss isn't involved, it's only the title."
And without Joss, theres no way theyll get her involved in it. Not even for a cameo. She says, "Not without Joss. Joss is the only reason that we would go back. I mean, it's just ridiculous to think of that TV show without Joss. That's just silly to me And all the fans know that, too, so I don't know what they're thinking."
Hannigans reaction to remake echos that of former Giles Anthony Stewart Head, who, rather gleefully trashed the notion a few weeks ago here. Look it's no mystery why theyre doing this. Vampires are hot and lets face it, Twilight is basically just a watered down Buffy ripoff so why not bring back the real deal and get rich. But Im pretty sure nobody wants it. Not the fans, not the Buffy cast, and probably not Twilight fans who are too busy swooning over Edward to notice anything else.

Rockets in latest wave of attacks from Gaza were fired from refugee camps under Hamas' sole command; strikes follow IAF assault that left Hamas man dead.

For the first time since the end of the IDF Operation Pillar of Defense in November 2012, the Hamas military wing is behind rocket strikes on Israel, with a wave of attacks overnight Sunday and early Monday emanating from central Gaza refugee camps completely under Hamas control.
Related stories:
More than a dozen rockets fired from Gaza Strip slammed into Israel early Monday morning, following a weekend of escalating tensions
The attacks mark more than two weeks of increasing rocket fire from Gaza since the beginning of Operation Brother's Keeper in the West Bank, to find and return three missing Israeli teens – Eyal Yifrach, Gil-Ad Shaer and Naftali Frenkel.
According to initial assessments, 16 rockets were fired overnight Sunday until the early Monday morning hours, the majority of which landed in open areas of the Eshkol Regional Council.
At roughly 7 am, a 10-rocket barrage was fired at the area, with all of the rockets falling in open areas, causing neither damage nor injuries. At 7:30 am at least one more rocket was fired.
At roughly 8:30 am, another rocket struck inside a Sedot Negev Regional Council community, causing light damage to one structure. An additional rocket hit in an open area in the regional council.
The onslaught followed a siren-filled night that saw at least three additional rockets fired from Gaza, all three also landing in open areas, failing to cause damage or injuries.

I stared at the cover a lot. And I gawked at the inside album art even longer, wondering what the hell they were all wearing, vaguely aware that they were badass and I was not.
The only song my mom ever played off of Guns N' Roses Use Your Illusion I was "November Rain." And she always turned it off before what I later discovered was the good part: When the horns and strings kicked in as Slash dances on top of the piano, ripping into the solo as Axl moans like a wounded cat. This would not surprise you, given that her favorite artist was Rod Stewart.
It's probably been six years since I've heard Slash's squealing guitar on that stereo, or anything else, that still makes me giddy.

If there is a plentiful supply of manure on hand, dig in an inch layer of it all over the watermelon bed. If the supply is limited, a few forkfuls may be dug into the hills, and left to decompose during the winter, so that the nutrients have time to leach down into the soil to a depth where the vine's deepest roots will find them.
If starting seeds indoors, sow them just six weeks before field planting. Otherwise they will become leggy. Plant three or four seeds in each pot and thin to one vine. Later, when setting out plants, place three pots in each hill. After the vines have made a foot or two of growth, thin each hill to one or two vines.
In the South, practically all melons are started in the open. Seeds are planted ten to 14 days before the last expected frost, so that the seedlings will come up as soon as possible after the frost. If there is any danger that frost may overtake the seedlings, make two plantings in each hill a week apart, putting in half the seeds each time.
A total of eight to ten seeds should be planted in each hill in a circle eight to 13 inches in diameter. Cover the seeds with an inch of soil. After the first true leaves appear on the young plants, reduce the number of plants to four or five per hill. Gradually thin them as they grow larger, until only one or two strong vines are left.
Straw, hay or chopped leaves are the best mulching materials to use. Spread them in a six-inch mulch over the entire watermelon patch and draw the mulch up to the base of the vines.
This should be done before fruits begin to form, because the small fruits may be damaged by handling.
The best time to apply mulch is right after a rain, when the soil is thoroughly damp.
When too few hot days and warm nights are left for maturing fruit, all blossoms should be removed from the plants before they begin to develop. The sooner these are removed, the more plant energy will be diverted to the development of the early-set fruit.
A less subjective way to determine ripeness is to take a look at the melon and vines. The fruit is apt to be ripe when the underside turns from white to yellow and at least three tendrils on each side of the melon are dead.
Also recommended for the North are Crimson Sweet, New Hampshire Midget, Golden Midget, and Sugar Baby. They are well adapted to cool climates and have growing periods of 65 to 90 days.

Temporary Agency Workers Directive – EU member states reach agreement on outstanding issuesMonday, June 23rd, 2008
On 10 June, agreement was reached by the EU Employment and Social Affairs Council on the longstanding issues of the Temporary Agency Workers Directive. The proposals, which have been under discussion since 2002, will provide equality of treatment for temporary workers with workers engaged on full employment contracts.
The main points of agreement in the Temporary Agency Workers Directive:
- equal treatment as of day one for temporary agency workers as well as regular workers in terms of pay, maternity leave and leave
- possibility to derogate from this through collective agreements and through agreements between social partners at national level
- temporary agency workers to be informed about permanent employment opportunities in the user enterprise
- equal access to collective facilities (canteen, child care facilities, transport service)
- Member States have to improve temporary agency workers access to training and child care facilities in periods BETWEEN their assignments so as to increase their employability
- Member States have to ensure penalties for non-compliance by temporary agencies and enterprises.
Although the proposals provide for equal treatment from the first day of a temporary contract, the UK government announced in May that the CBI and the TUC had reached agreement on how fairer treatment for agency workers in the UK should be applied, while preserving flexibility agency work offers to both employers and workers. The EU proposals allow member states to delay the start of equal treatment with the agreement of "social partners at national level" and this has already been achieved. Agreement was reached between the CBI and the TUC on the following points:
- After 12 weeks in a given job there will be an entitlement to equal treatment.
- Equal treatment will be defined to mean at least the basic working and employment conditions that would apply to the workers concerned if they had been recruited directly by that undertaking to occupy the same job. It will not cover occupational social security schemes.
- The Government will consult the social partners regarding the implementation of the Directive more generally, in particular:
- mechanisms for resolving disputes regarding the definition of equal treatment and compliance with the new rules that avoid undue delays for workers and unnecessary administrative burdens for business;
- appropriate arrangements to enable the two sides of industry and also public services to reach appropriate agreements on the treatment of agency workers, while respecting the overall protection of agency workers; and
- appropriate anti-avoidance measures reflecting Art 9 (2), in particular relating to the treatment of repeat contracts for the same worker and the position of workers with permanent contracts of employment with agencies who continue to be paid between assignments; it is not intended that article 5 (2) will be used to evade the aims of the Directive.
- The new arrangements will be reviewed at an appropriate point in the light of experience.

A man holds a portrait of the late lawyer Sergei Magnitsky as he protests against police lawlessness in front of the Interior Ministry in Moscow in March 2012.
STRASBOURG, France – The European Parliament has overwhelmingly approved a proposal recommending common visa-restriction regimes and asset freezes to target Russian officials involved in the death of lawyer Sergei Magnitsky.
It's the second time such an initiative has come from Europarliamentarians, with EU members balking at a similar effort two years ago.
In addition to the measures by EU member states, the latest proposal calls on Russia "to conduct a credible and independent investigation encompassing all aspects of the case" and to stop widespread corruption by reforming the judicial system.
The text urges the EU to raise those issues in bilateral meetings with Russia authorities "in a more determined, resolute and result-oriented manner."
Sergei Magnitsky, a Moscow attorney, was allegedly tortured and beaten to death following nearly a year of pretrial custody in 2009 after uncovering alleged massive fraud by Russian authorities.
A statement by the European Parliament on the proposal quotes Kristiina Ojuland, who steered the recommendation through the chamber as saying: "Instead of facing justice, these people are still in office. They travel in the EU, they spend their dirty money in the EU, buy real estate and educate their children here. At the same time, this recommendation is our sign of solidarity with the Russian people, who are living through challenging times and aspire to genuine, not decorative democracy."
It also says the European lawmakers agree that "Mr Magnitsky's case is only the best-documented of a number of cases of disrespect for fundamental human rights and abuse of power by the Russian law-enforcement authorities" and urge "similar restrictive measures" in other, well-documented cases.
The European Parliament passed a similar resolution in 2010, but EU member states have stopped short of endorsing an EU-wide sanctions regime.
Magnitsky's mother, Natalia Magnitskaya, testified on October 2 at the trial of the sole defendant in the case – Dmitry Kratov, a former deputy warden at Moscow's Butyrka detention center who is charged with negligence leading to the lawyer's death. She has urged a further investigation and said other individuals must be held accountable for her son's killing.

Occidental College
Media Arts & Culture
Senior Comps
All Media Arts & Culture students produce a senior comprehensives project over the course of their senior year.
Media Arts & Culture comprehensives projects can take one of two forms: Media Production or Critical Media. Comprehensives projects traditionally take the form of a 25-30 page paper for Critical Media and a 10 minute video for Media Production. All students present their work in April; Media Production students screen their videos in Thorne Hall, and Critical Media students give 15-minute presentations in Dumke Commons.
We ask that those pursuing the Critical Media track think creatively about approach, archival research strategies, and methodology. For those pursuing Media Production, we similarly mandate that you be critically and thoughtfully engaged about the social, cultural, and historical location of your project and its content.
Furthermore, in this digital age, where forms of media, exhibition, and distribution are becoming increasingly diverse, and there are new on-line digital tools and platforms for presenting critical media scholarship, we ask that you deeply explore the question of what form is best for the project you are seeking to investigate.
10 minute linear media productions screened in Thorne Hall in April are certainly supported, but don't let this traditional venue conscribe you. With proper planning, site-specific or web-based work can also be exhibited on campus during the April Senior Comprehensives Week. Similarly, critical media writing may be combined with audiovisual resources and presented in a multimodal or web-based form rather than as a paper. Throw out givens, explore all possibilities, and arrive at the best form for your particular critical and creative work.
The 10 minute time limit on media production projects will be vigilantly enforced regardless of form (even if a project loops, or is broken up into several separate media segments or vignettes). This is to ensure that all media contained therein is thought through, pre-produced and planned, shot, and post-produced with a satisfactory depth and rigor. Similarly, whether output on paper or on line, in linear or hyperlinked form, all critical media projects will comprise 25-30 pages of polished, researched, and developed writing.
With this openness to form and content, remember there are some practical realities to consider. Those producing media components should review the Student Production Handbook policies as well as the specific information on Senior Media Production Comps guidelines before developing a project to ensure your project is in line with budgetary, logistical, and safety regulations.
Any student seeking to make a media production-based senior comprehensives project must have completed at least two production course experiences by the end of Junior year—ArtM 140 Intro. Production and either ArtM 242 Projects in Documentary or ArtM 355 Advanced Projects. Any student planning on making fictional work must have completed ArtM 220 Narrative Practices by the end of junior year. It is strongly recommended that media production students take ArtM 242 Projects in Documentary if producing documentart-based work or one of several courses offered in acting or directing in the Theater Department if producing fictional work.
Media Production students will enroll in the 4-unit ArtM 490 Production Senior Seminar in the fall of senior year. Students are also required to enroll in the 2-unit ArtM 340 Advanced Editing class in the spring to support the editing of their projects by the late March submission date. Students will publicly exhibit work during Senior Comprehensives Week in April.
Critical Media students are required to take at least two critical or historical media studies courses at the 200- or 300-level before the end of junior year (these are in addition to ArtM 390 Junior Seminar). It is also recommended that students take as many additional critical or hybrid ArtM courses as possible before senior year, and relevant coursework from other Occidental departments may be counted towards the major upon approval of the faculty advisor.
Any student seeking to do a critical media comprehensives project will enroll in a year-long ArtM 490 Critical Senior Seminar with 2 units conferred in the fall and another 2 units in the spring. They will produce a draft of their critical paper in the fall and set specific deadlines to complete rewrites or any multimodal components in the spring by the late March submission date. Students will publicly present work during Senior Comprehensives Week in April.
NARRATIVE PRACTICES COMPS (discontinued with the class of 2016)
With the introduction of the Interdisciplinary Writing Minor, the Narrative Practices comprehensives option will be discontinued with the class of 2016. Narrative theory and narrative craft remain vital components of Critical Media and Media Production comprehensives projects. Students interested in exploring writing for screen cultures are encouraged to take ArtM 220 Narrative Practices and ArtM 320 Advanced Narrative Practices within the program and explore other creative and professional writing classes offered through the Interdisciplinary Writing Minor.
Seniors in in the classes of 2015 or 2016 intending to produce a Narrative Practices project in satisfaction of their senior comprehensives requirement must have completed ArtM 220 Narrative Practices and ArtM 320 Advanced Narrative Practices by the end of Junior Year. These students will enroll in ArtM 490 Narrative Practices Senior Seminar in the fall and spring of senior year (2 units each semester) as they critically and creatively build upon the story developed in ArtM 320.
A draft of the screenplay will be completed by the start of the spring term in January, leaving approximately 10 weeks to engage in the crucial process of rewriting and polishing before a late March due date. Students will publicly present work during Senior Comprehensives Week in April.
Students will receive a letter grade in their ArtM 490 Senior Seminar based on course expectations set by the instructor. Additionally, student comprehensives projects will be assessed in late March/early April by the primary faculty advisor and will be given a "pass" or "fail" designation that is provided to the Registrar as indication of whether or not the College Comprehensives Requirement has been fulfilled. Projects are evaluated on the following criteria:
For Media Production Projects:
Does the work display narrative complexity in its storytelling, structuring, and exhibition?
Does the work exhibit a distinct and evocative use/mastery of aesthetic components?
Does the work challenge and engage viewers not only viscerally, but on multiple levels—critically, socially, historically, politically?
Has the student fully engaged with mentoring and collaborative opportunities in the senior year while realizing the project?
For Critical Media Projects:
Does the work have an original central thesis or argument?
Does the work exhibit a mastery of scholarly research?
Does the work use film/media studies methodologies with depth, clarity, and skill?
Does the work articulate the cultural, historical, formal, and/or narrative significance of the research project and clearly identify its significance within the field?
Is the work well written, well organized, and grammatically flawless?
Does the work seek to explore or push notions of "writing" in relation to audiovisual media in some fashion?
Has the student fully engaged with mentoring and collaborative opportunities in the senior year while realizing the project?
For Narrative Practices Projects: (discontinued with the class of 2016)
Does the work display narrative complexity in its storytelling, structuring, engagement with genre, and character development?
Does the work compellingly engage in audiovisual writing, using the aesthetic possibilities of time-based audiovisual media to their fullest potential (point of view, manipulation time and space, voice, nonverbal sounds, suspense vs. surprise, externalizing internal states through action and mise en scène, etc.)?
Does the work challenge and engage viewers not only viscerally, but on multiple levels—critically, socially, historically, politically?
Has the student fully engaged with mentoring and collaborative opportunities in the senior year while realizing the project?
A designation of "With Distinction" may occasionally be granted to projects that a faculty committee of three AHVA professors (the advisor and at least two other professors in the department) agrees surpass the standard expectations for the evaluative criteria above. This is completely separate from the "honors" process described below. "Distinction" accolades are not a given within every matriculating year and are granted only when clearly merited.
A student with an overall GPA of at least 3.2 overall and 3.5 in the major who has demonstrated excellence in departmental courses may submit a proposal for an honors project. Honors is an optional route of greater critical rigor, in which a student works with a faculty committee of two members (one primary advisor from within the student's emphasis and one secondary advisor from either another department on campus or within AHVA with whom the student has taken or will take at least one course before the spring of senior year) and conducts a deeper level of research, writing, and presentation in conjunction with the standard comps project.
Students should self identify to a primary advisor before the end of Junior Year in order to develop summer research or reading plans. A formal proposal and application are developed with the primary faculty advisor in the fall of senior year and submitted for departmental assessment in November of the senior year. If the proposal is accepted, students should enroll in ArtM 499 (Honors Research) in the spring.
A) Critical Media: Honors projects will either extend critical media writing to 45 pages or involve archival research, development of audiovisual resources, and a substantially extended multimedia or on-line presentation of scholarship.
B) Media Production: Candidates will produce a critical honors thesis of at least 20 pages to accompany their media comps project and will publicly present their work in the spring with the critical media presentations. This supplemental critical work should pose a specific research problem related to the media project, framing and advancing the associated critical, historical, practical, and representational implications in its exploration.
Note to all MAC Honors Applicants: Researching and synopsizing existing scholarship is not sufficient for an honors project of either form. Candidates are expected to formulate a strong, innovative thesis question in their application and establish how this thesis will expand upon or challenge existing critical and practical approaches in the field. Students are encouraged to consider new modes of production, exhibition, distribution, and writing in the conception, execution, and presentation of their honors projects.

Recently we have been experiencing the rapid collapse of the Earth's magnetic shield. Energy can then leak in from outer space through the weakened geomagnetic shield. This in turn compromises the Earth's protection against Solar Winds. Such an event can be harmful for every living creature. Weakened geomagnetic shields make us vulnerable to Severe Solar Storms, which are created by solar winds breaking through the Earth's magnetic shield protection. Additional protection can be very helpful for our survival.
Disturbances in the geomagnetic shield can cause increased and decreased density. These Electromagnetic fluctuations, caused by the rotation of the planet's core, are related to the mass animals deaths witnessed in the past few years. This includes the massive deaths of cows and buffalos. This natural phenomenon causes a brain shortage due to the heavy metals in the brain. Fortunately, we have less heavy metal in the brain than animals, but a breach in the geomagnetic shield of the Earth by solar winds will cause the disturbances in the geomagnetic field to increase exponentially placing us in the same position as animals.
We have designed special devices to shield us from the devastating effects of Solar Storms and Geomagnetic Disturbances.
How is this done? This is accomplished when the Earth Radiation Neutralizer is placed in the lowest level of your home or shelter (floor of the basement), which then neutralizes the EMFs radiating from underground (Geomagnetic Turbulences).
Using the Space Radiation Neutralizers, the EMFs attacking you from the above Solar Storms are diminished and neutralized.
The Side Severe EMFs Protection will protect you against the increased EMFs hitting your facility from all sides. These increased EMFs originate from the massive amount of energy produced by fluctuations from the Solar Storm.
Neutralizing this overwhelming amount of radiation may be a critical factor in surviving natural events on a global scale. We are living in a time of unpredictable weather changes. Check our Natural Events section.
