Old Man Winter is Back… Are You Ready?
With milder than normal weather the past few weeks, many Fairfax County residents might have forgotten that it is winter. But "Old Man Winter" plans a return to the area this weekend and will bring cold temperatures to the county. With the sudden drop in temperature, Fairfax County wants residents to be mindful of the following advice and information.
Winter Driving
Driving conditions might be less than ideal in areas where the recent rain has perhaps frozen. The Virginia Department of Transportation offers the following guidelines for safe winter weather driving:
- Before beginning your trip, know the current road conditions and weather forecast. For statewide highway information 24 hours a day, call the Highway Helpline at 1-800-367-ROAD, TTY 1-800-432-1843.
- Keep your car's windows, mirrors and lights clear of snow and ice.
- Always wear your safety belt.
- Leave a few minutes early to allow extra time to get to your destination.
- Start out slowly in the lowest gear recommended by your vehicle's manufacturer.
- Be aware of potentially icy areas such as shady spots and bridges.
- Keep a safe distance of at least five seconds behind other vehicles and trucks that are plowing the road.
- Keep an emergency winter driving kit in your car.
- Drive smart.
Emergency Heating
The Energy Assistance Program, administered by the Fairfax County Department of Family Services, helps households in heating emergency situations with primary heat security deposits, utility heating bills, repair/replacement of heating equipment, primary heating fuel or emergency shelter. To be eligible, an individual and/or family must be financially needy and must meet certain other requirements. Applications for crisis assistance will be accepted at the Department of Family Services through March 15. To receive an application, call 703-324-7101, TTY 703-222-9452.
If people you know in Fairfax County are experiencing homelessness, they are welcome to come in from the cold to sleep in a safe place. Call one of the county's community shelters about the winter program:
- Bailey's Crossroads Community Shelter, located in the Bailey's/Culmore area at 3525 Moncure Avenue (corner of Moncure and Columbia Pike), Baileys Crossroads. 703-820-7621, TTY 711.
- Eleanor U. Kennedy Shelter on Richmond Highway (Route 1) near Fort Belvoir at 9155 Richmond Highway, Fort Belvoir. 703-799-0200, TTY 711.
- Embry Rucker Community Shelter near the Reston library, 11975 Bowman Towne Drive, Reston. 703-437-1975, TTY 711.
Freezing Pipes and Plumbing
Fairfax Water encourages residents to take the following preventative actions to protect home plumbing:
- Locate and mark the main water cutoff valve for your home. This cutoff valve is usually found near where the water line comes into your house. Damage from running water can be minimized if you can turn off this valve quickly.
- Make sure the water line to outside faucets is turned off and the line is drained. Consider wrapping or insulating your water pipes, especially those pipes near outside walls, under the house, or in the attic. Insulation supplies are available at your local home improvement or hardware store.
- Eliminate drafts. Check around the home for areas where water supply lines are located in unheated areas and take measures to prevent the flow of cold air in these areas. Look in the basement, crawl space, attic, garage and under kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Both hot and cold water pipes in these areas should be insulated. A hot water supply line can freeze just as a cold water supply line can if water is not running through the pipe and the water temperature becomes cold.
- If your water pipes do freeze, never try to thaw a pipe with an open flame or torch. You can use a hair dryer or portable heater, but always be careful of the potential for electric shock in and around standing water.
- If you will be away from your home, keep the thermostat at a reasonable temperature to make sure all areas with water pipes are kept above freezing.
If you suspect you have a frozen water meter, call Fairfax Water for help. Service crews are available 24 hours a day and will respond as soon as possible to your request. You can reach the Fairfax Water's Customer Service Department at 703-698-5800, TTY 711. If after hours, the emergency number is 703-698-5613, TTY 711. Additional information can be found at www.fairfaxwater.org.
If you are vacating your home because you have lost your heat source, locate and turn off your main water cutoff valve. After the valve is turned off, open a faucet on each level of your home to allow for expansion should the undrained water freeze. If you are staying in your home or will be monitoring your home frequently, allow a faucet to drip cold water slowly. The dripping faucet should be the one that is the greatest distance from your main water cutoff valve. Also, consider allowing a slow drip in areas that are least protected from the cold (basements, crawl spaces, attics and garage).
Cold Weather and Children
Whether it's a hot sunny day or a cold snowy night, it is never a good idea to leave your children alone in a car. Even if you are just running into the post office or picking up something quick at the store, it is too long to leave your young children alone. Any length of time alone in a car can be dangerous for a child. Hypothermia can occur in just minutes for infants and young children. There are other risk factors, such as pulling the emergency brake or being abducted.
While severe weather is not forecast for next week, residents are reminded that inclement weather can result in the closing of child-care programs such as the county's School Age Child Care (SACC) program. Parents are encouraged to make arrangements in advance if they know they will need care for their children. By planning ahead and knowing the options, families can be prepared to meet the unexpected.
In Fairfax County, working parents have several options. They can use the Office for Children's online search feature at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/childcare or call the Child Care Assistance and Referral program at 703-449-8484, TTY 711. Many family child-care providers and some child-care centers offer emergency back-up child care. The Web site also includes the names of employer sponsored back-up child-care centers in employment hubs of Tysons Corner and Reston. Both of these options require advance arrangements to ensure that the programs have required information from the family and that children are familiar with the arrangement. Finally, the county's seven community centers managed by the Department of Community and Recreation Services are available for school-age children during snow days. Information about the community centers is available on the county's Web site at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/rec/Comm_Ctr/CCMain_Pg.htm.
Animal Safety
Bring pets indoors when the temperature drops. No matter what the temperature, windchill can threaten a pet's life.
A dog or cat is happiest and healthiest when kept indoors. If your dog is an outdoor dog, he/she must be protected by a dry, draft-free doghouse that is large enough to allow the dog to sit and lie down comfortably, but small enough to hold in his/her body heat. The floor should be raised a few inches off the ground and covered with cedar shavings or straw. The doghouse should be turned to face away from the wind, and the doorway should be covered with waterproof burlap or heavy plastic.
Warm engines in parked cars attract cats and small wildlife that may crawl up under the hood. To avoid injuring any hidden animals, bang on your car's hood to scare them away before starting your engine. The salt and other chemicals used to melt snow and ice can irritate the pads of your pet's feet. Wipe the feet with a damp towel before your pet licks them and irritates his/her mouth.
Health Issues and Cold Weather
The Community Health and Safety section of the Health Department's Division of Environmental Health works to ensure that homes are kept safe and sanitary all year long. During cold winter months, environmental health specialists advise that home heating systems must be adequate enough to maintain a minimum indoor temperature of 65 degrees Fahrenheit between Oct. 15 and May 1 (according to Virginia Code). The furnace, not space heaters, must be the main source of heat. If space heaters are used for supplemental heat, they must always be used according to manufacturer instructions, and should never be left unattended. In addition, electrical cords should never be placed under rugs.
Environmental health specialists also educate county residents about making their homes easy to evacuate in the event of a fire. Basement rooms used for sleeping must have windows or escape openings that open to the outside and are large enough for adults to get out (and low enough for children to reach). Any room used for sleeping must have two means of exit. In addition, stairways must be clear of obstructions, and smoke detectors must be working. People living in houses that are crowded, unsafe, or have bedrooms in the basement can call the Health Department's Community Health and Safety section to arrange a home inspection. Call 703-246-2300, TTY 703-591-6435.
Freezing Water on Roofs and in Gutters
County building officials caution residents that ponding water or ice should be removed from rooftops, especially flat roofs, as well as decks attached to the house. If you are equipped to access the roof and can do so safely, use extra caution on slippery surfaces and check for overhead power lines before placing or moving ladders. If you are not able to safely clear your roof, get professional help.
Heavy ice left to melt on rooftops can stress the structure and cause leaks due to water working its way past the flashing, resulting in water damage inside the structure. Freezing rain in the gutter is an additional danger. Water can build up behind the ice and back up under shingles that can cause leaks in the structure. The weight of the ice in the gutter can also stress the gutter system causing gutters and drain pipes to sag or fall off.
Gas utility companies recommend using a brush or broom – not a shovel – to clear meters and pipes of icicles to prevent water from leaking into the equipment. Be sure that ice is not blocking intake or exhaust vents that go through outside walls. Residents are also encouraged to remove ponding water or ice from foundation walls to limit the melting water from seeping into the structure. And finally, clear ice away from downspouts so that melting water has a path to flow away from the house.
Additional Information and Resources
In cases of extreme weather, Fairfax County residents concerned about the safety or well being of children, elderly adults or adults with disabilities can contact Fairfax County Child Protective Services at 703-324-7400, TTY 711 or Adult Protective Services at 703-324-7450, TTY 711.
Additional information from Fairfax Water can be found at www.fairfaxwater.org. Winter safety reminders from the Health Department are at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/service/hd/hdpdf/winter.pdf.
Further information and links to additional resources are also available on the emergency information page on the Fairfax County Web site at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/emergency. Residents may also call the Fairfax County Government Emergency Information Line, available 24 hours a day with recorded information, at 703-817-7771, TTY 711.

Damien Echols has captivating audiences as the star of four motion pictures, but he's not someone you'd call a Hollywood insider. In fact, he's rarely even seen himself on screen.
Echols came to his fame the hard way: As an unjustly accused murderer who became the subject of three documentaries — Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills (1996), Paradise Lost 2: Revelations (2002) and Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory, which was nominated for a best documentary Oscar last year.
In each of those films — made over the course of the nearly 20 years that Echols, and two other young men sentenced for their crimes, spent in prison trying to prove their innocence — audiences could agree on one thing: Like them or not, Echols and Company were railroaded by narrow-minded and corrupt prosecutors, judges and investigators who branded them as sex perverts and devil worshippers who sexually molested and murdered several boys in West Memphis, Ark., in the early 1990s. They were accused of all kinds of occult motives (the charges read like something from the Salem Witch Trials), even though there was precious little evidence against them. Indeed, it was their outsider status that seemed to doom them.
"The problem was perception — everyone knew from the beginning we didn't do this, but they didn't care, so they railroaded three white trash kids," Echols said. "We were easy targets."
Now, though, Echols tells the whole story from his own perspective. West of Memphis, which opens Friday at the Angelika Mockingbird Station Film Center, is the two-and-a-half hour summation of Echols' incomparable ordeal, from death row to freedom. And it all became possible because of some unlikely champions: Filmmakers Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, best know for the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies.

TSA is an excepted service agency. Employment with TSA does not confer the "Competitive Status" that generally results from selection and service in Competitive Service agencies.

Reemployed Annuitants: Since the TSO position is permanent, it does not meet the eligibility requirement for a salary offset waiver under the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2010. Therefore, former Federal or Postal Service employees who are receiving a civilian retirement annuity may have their salary reduced by the amount of their pension, which could result in a biweekly net pay as low as zero dollars ($0.00) or a debt owed to the Federal Government.
TSO Dress and Appearance Responsibilities: TSOs are required to adhere to the Personal Appearance Standard that requires a neat, clean and professional appearance while on duty or while wearing a uniform.

In addition, tattoos must be covered at all times and not visible to the public (visible tattoos are defined as those present on the body anywhere outside of the standard long-sleeved TSO uniform). Each airport's Federal Security Director has the discretion whether to permit exceptions and allow visible tattoos to be covered by an acceptable band or skin-colored make-up that does not detract from the TSO uniform.
Work Schedules for Part-time Positions: Specific work shifts and schedules will be determined by the airport.
- Part-time shifts generally range from 16-32 hours per week
- Part-time work consists of shift-work on any day from Sunday through Saturday, which may include irregular hours, nights, holidays, overtime, extended shifts and weekend shifts, changing shifts, and split shifts
- A "split-shift" consists of any two work shifts, each lasting at least two (2) hours in one 24-hour period, with at least two (2) hours between work shifts
- Completing classroom training, on-the-job training, and all initial certification testing
- Recurrent and specialized training and recertification tests on a periodic basis
- Passing background investigations, including a criminal check and credit check, and all randomly administered drug and alcohol screening tests

St. Lucia is a vacation destination that fits with any type of traveler, whether you are exploring on your own, looking for a romantic getaway, or wanting to have some fun in the sun with the family. Some of the best attractions are the natural surroundings on the island, such as the beach, the ocean, and the Piton Mountains. Here, you can windsurf, sail, dive, or wade on the shore.

For Masters Degree Students
Academic Year: 2009 – 2010
A graduate student should develop intellectual autonomy within a chosen field and demonstrate the ability to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate relevant knowledge. The graduate student, furthermore, assumes some responsibility for increasing knowledge within the chosen field.
Graduate education assumes the acquisition of specific content knowledge, including recognition of the significant terminology, facts, theories, issues, findings, and generalizations within the field of study. Graduate study also encompasses comprehension of the intellectual history, methods of inquiry, and standards of judgment used in a given field.
Students should also grasp the ethical meanings of research in a discipline or a profession. A student receiving a master's degree will be able to:
1. Analyze ideas in a logical manner by breaking down material into constituent parts, organizing ideas and relationships between ideas, expressing these relationships, recognizing unstated assumptions, distinguishing facts from hypotheses, and distinguishing statements of cause from statements of effect;
2. Synthesize diverse ideas to form an integrated whole relevant to a field of study by arranging and combining elements and parts into patterns or structures. The parts to be integrated may, to the extent necessary, come from a variety of disciplines;
3. Make judgments about the value of relevant material, including the appropriateness and adequacy of any qualitative and quantitative methods used in its compilation, by employing a standard of internal or external appraisal. In evaluating the accuracy of a communication, a student will use an integration of theories, works of recognized excellence, facts and generalizations germane to a field; and
4. Convey ideas, feelings, and experiences through scholarly writing and discussion with others. The student will be able to develop a proposal or plan of work that includes ways of testing hypotheses, analyzing the factors involved, modifying the hypotheses based on new factors or considerations, and then making generalizations based on findings. The student will then have the ability to communicate both this process and subsequent findings to others.
Admission to Graduate Study
Students who have earned a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college or university are eligible to apply for admission to master's-level study at UIS. Full admission to master's studies may be granted to those who earned a baccalaureate degree with an undergraduate grade-point average of at least 2.50 on a 4.00 scale. Applicants must also have met all entrance requirements specific to the chosen UIS program; some programs require higher grade-point averages and/or prerequisites. Refer to the individual programs for information on specific requirements.
Conditional admission may be granted to students with lesser GPAs. Conditionally admitted students must complete a certain number of semester hours at UIS (exclusive of prerequisites) with a grade-point average of no less than 3.00. The program will specify which courses must be completed.
All college/university transcripts, including verification of the bachelor's degree and transcripts of all graduate work taken beyond the bachelor's degree must be submitted to the Office of Admissions.
To receive maximum consideration for graduate admission, applications should arrive at least three months before the beginning of the term in which the student plans to start course work. Some academic programs have earlier deadlines.
Write to the Office of Admissions, University of Illinois at Springfield, One University Plaza, MS UHB 1080, Springfield, IL 62703-5407 to request an application form, or apply online at www.uis.edu. Call (217) 206-4847 or the toll free number (888) 977-4847.
Admission to a Specific Master's Program
Admission to graduate study is granted by the academic program. Each program has established admission requirements that comply with campus policy; these requirements may exceed the general minimum requirements for admission. Some graduate programs require scores from the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) or the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). Applications are processed by both the degree program and the Office of Admissions. Students are encouraged to check graduate program application requirements at www.uis.edu/graduateeducation.
Admission for International Students seeking Master's Degrees
To be admitted to graduate study, international students must have completed the equivalent of a bachelor's degree earned in the United States; bachelor's degrees earned abroad may or may not meet this requirement. Full admission to graduate study requires a minimum undergraduate grade-point average equivalent to a U.S. GPA of 2.50 on a 4.00 scale. Applicants must also have met all entrance requirements specified by their chosen UIS degree program. An I-20 AB or DS 2019 (formerly called IAP 66) certificate of eligibility cannot be issued until the student has been accepted by a degree program and all required documents have been received.
International students seeking admission to the University of Illinois at Springfield are encouraged to apply as early as possible. The deadline for application to the Graduate Assistantship (GA) and Graduate Public Service Internship (GPSI) programs is March 15. In order to be considered for a GA or GPSI position, students must already be admitted to a UIS graduate program. Therefore, international students who want to be considered for a GA or GPSI position are encouraged to apply for admission into a UIS graduate program at least nine months prior to the March 15 deadline.
Non-degree Admission
Students who hold a bachelor's degree may enroll for courses at UIS as a non-degree seeking graduate student. These students will be asked to define their educational goals before exceeding 12 semester hours. Non-degree students who choose to become degree candidates must complete regular admissions procedures, including acceptance into the chosen degree program.
When formal admission is granted, the course work completed as a non-degree seeking student is evaluated by the intended academic program and may or may not apply toward that program's graduation requirements. UIS accepts a maximum of 12 semester hours of such credit toward a graduate degree. A non-degree declaration form must be on file for continued enrollment as a non-degree student beyond 12 hours. Non-degree students typically are not eligible for financial assistance.
Financial Assistance for Master's Degree Students
The UIS Office of Financial Assistance coordinates federal, state, institutional, and private financial aid programs for all students. Assistance is available in the form of grants, tuition waivers, assistantships, scholarships, loans, part-time employment, and veterans' benefits. For detailed information, see the "Financial Assistance for ALL Students" section of the current catalog.
Programs specifically available for master's degree students include Graduate Assistantships, the Illinois Legislative Staff Intern Program, the Graduate Public Service Internship Program, the Whitney M. Young Fellowship Program, and Public Affairs Reporting Scholarships (for PAR students only).

General Requirements
To earn a master's degree from the University of Illinois at Springfield, students must:
- Earn the amount of graduate credit required by the chosen academic program, all but 12 semester hours of which must be earned at UIS.
- Complete course work with a UIS institutional grade point average of at least 3.00 as well as an overall grade point average (including both institutional and transfer credit) of at least 3.00.
- Complete the program closure requirements.
- Complete a graduation contract and pay graduation fees.
Grades Acceptable toward Master's Degrees
Master's degree students may apply a maximum of eight hours of C grades toward a degree, provided that each hour of C is balanced by an hour of A and an approved Student Petition is on file in the Office of Records and Registration. Individual academic programs may determine whether Cs are acceptable toward their degrees. Credit for courses in which grades below C were earned will not count toward the master's degree requirements.
For more specific information related to acceptable grades, see the "Grades Acceptable Toward Graduate Degrees" section under the heading "Academic Standards for ALL Students."
Closure Exercises and Continuous Enrollment Requirement
Master's degree candidates are required to complete a closure exercise demonstrating mastery of some area within their major field of study. The exact nature and format of these exercises – including theses, projects, and capstone courses – are determined by individual programs, but all of them must have an identifiable academic focus and must include a written component.
UIS has a continuous enrollment policy which states that once the student begins a closure exercise, he or she must continue to enroll in the closure exercise each fall and spring semester until the exercise is complete, including semesters in which the student "stops out" of other courses. Enrollment in the summer semester is not required unless mandated by the student's academic program. If a leave of absence is granted for a current or future semester, the student will be exempt from this requirement for that semester.
Graduate Internships and Experiential Learning
Experiential learning is an integral part of graduate education at UIS. Internships are offered through the Graduate Public Service Internship Program as well as many academic programs. Additional information may be obtained from program faculty. UIS also provides a variety of paid internship opportunities in Illinois government agencies and on campus, as well as graduate assistantships.
Research at the University of Illinois at Springfield
Conventional research opportunities are available to students in most academic programs. In addition, UIS offers unique opportunities for applied research that emphasize coordinated, interdisciplinary approaches to problem solving, training, and communication.
UIS cooperates with neighboring universities in meeting their students' needs for research and residency in the Springfield area.
Time Limitation
All graduate credit earned at UIS to be applied toward the completion of a master's degree must be taken within six consecutive years of the first graduate course taken at UIS in pursuit of that degree. This does not include transfer credit earned before the first term of graduate enrollment, credit granted for prior learning, and prerequisites; however, it does include closure requirements. Exceptions may be granted by degree programs on a case-by-case basis, and programs may also grant leaves of absence.
Transfer Credit at the Master's Level
Residency Requirement: UIS may accept up to 12 semester hours of graduate-level work completed at other accredited institutions. However, only hours earned with a grade of B or better and accepted by the program will also be accepted by UIS. Request to transfer credit for courses bearing a grade such as P (pass) or CR (credit) must be supported by certification from the institution or instructor that the work was of at least B quality.
Time Limit on Transfer Credit: All transfer credit to be applied to a master's degree must have been earned within five years of the first graduate course taken at UIS in pursuit of that degree. Exceptions may be granted by programs on a case-by-case basis.
Financial Assistance – Master's Degree Students
UIS provides or coordinates many paid internship opportunities and scholarships for graduate students. Some of these are described below. For additional information on merit and need-based financial assistance for graduate and undergraduate students, see the section on "Financial Assistance for ALL Students."
General Graduate Assistantships
Graduate-level assistantships provide relevant educational experiences in UIS' academic or public affairs programs. These on-campus internships offer opportunities to develop and apply skills in research, curriculum development, data analysis, editing, program evaluation, and coordination of special events. Preference will be given to students who have not previously received a master's degree. The graduate assistantship application deadline is March 15. In order to be eligible for consideration, applicants must be admitted into a UIS graduate degree program. To facilitate file completion and admission, applicants are strongly encouraged to initiate the application process at least two months prior to the graduate assistantship application deadline. Files completed after March 15 will be added to the pool of eligible applicants after the first round selection process is completed.
Assistants receive a monthly stipend (taxable income) and work 20 hours per week during the academic year. During each regular semester assistants receive a tuition waiver of 8 to 12 semester hours, for an academic-year total of 16 to 24. Assistants who served at least one full semester during the regular academic year are eligible for a tuition waiver for six semester hours in the subsequent summer term. The maximum tuition waiver for the academic year is 30 hours.
For complete information, contact the Graduate Assistantship Office in the Office of Graduate Studies.
Illinois Legislative Staff Intern Program
The Institute for Legal, Legislative, and Policy Studies administers the Illinois Legislative Staff Intern program, which provides outstanding students with firsthand experience in the operations of the Illinois General Assembly and opportunities for academic studies and research in legislative politics and policy analysis.
There are opportunities for 24 legislative staff interns to be assigned either to the Illinois Legislative Research Unit or to one of four leadership staffs of the General Assembly. The program lasts 10 1/2 months and requires full-time work in the assigned office. Interns are required to participate in an academic seminar during the fall semester specifically designed for this program.
Interns receive a total of eight graduate credit hours over the course of two semesters, tuition and fees, and student insurance coverage along with a monthly stipend of $2,026 while they are in the program.
To be eligible for the ILSIP, applicants must have a baccalaureate degree in any academic discipline, with a high-quality undergraduate academic record. Applications are due February 1 each year.
For materials and further information, contact the Illinois Legislative Staff Intern Program.
Graduate Public Service Internship Program
Located within the Center for State Policy and Leadership, the Graduate Public Service Internship Program (GPSI) is ranked as one of Illinois' premier governmental internship programs. For over 33 years this program has provided graduate students with the opportunity to simultaneously begin a professional career while earning a master's degree from the University of Illinois at Springfield. The program is open to students with all academic backgrounds, including those who have already earned an advanced degree.
The program is comprised of a 21-month internship placement at a participating state or municipal agency for full-time UIS graduate students. During the academic year (August 16 – May 15), interns work 20 hours per week for a stipend of $950 per month, while working full-time during the intervening summer term (May 16 – August 15) for a stipend of $1,900 per month. Additional benefits include nine credit hours of tuition waiver for the fall and spring terms, an optional four-hour tuition waiver for the summer term, and $300 per fiscal year for professional development activities.
GPSI is a competitive placement program; completing the application process does not guarantee a placement. For first-round consideration, the deadline for file completion is March 15. "File completion" means that the application, resume, educational goal statement, three reference letters, transcripts, and notice of graduate admission are on file in the GPSI office. Placements begin August 16. Applicants are strongly encouraged to initiate the application process at least two months prior to the GPSI application deadline.
For additional information, contact the Office of Graduate Intern Programs.
Whitney M. Young Fellowship Program
This program is a memorial to the late Whitney M. Young, Jr., former executive director of the National Urban League, educator, and social activist. The program is aimed at helping the campus to achieve a rich and diverse educational environment by increasing the opportunities in graduate education for highly self-motivated students who are underrepresented in graduate study at UIS. This includes but is not limited to ethnic/racial minorities, first-generation college students, and students from disadvantaged backgrounds. The Fellowship program is designed to complement graduate work with civic engagement in public affairs projects.
Fellows receive a monthly financial stipend of $950 for the nine-month contract period, and a tuition waiver (minimum of 12 graduate credit hours) during the fall and spring terms. Fellows are eligible for a tuition waiver up to six semester hours for one summer semester. Fellows must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.00, as well as fulfill all other requirements of the Fellowship Program.
For complete information, contact the Whitney M. Young Fellowship Program/Graduate Program Office.
Public Affairs Reporting Scholarships
Several scholarship programs are earmarked for graduate students in the public affairs reporting program. The annual awards are based on academic achievement, financial need, and potential for a career in journalism. They are:
- James E. Armstrong Scholarships, established in memory of the late publisher of the Illinois State Register and the Illinois State Journal, predecessors of The State Journal-Register in Springfield.
- Milton D. Friedland Scholarships, established in memory of the late founder and general manager of WICS-TV, NewsChannel 20 in Springfield, and former community relations associate for the campus.

Resurrection a scientific question, according to a Letter to the Editor of Nature, vol. 433, p571, 10 February 2005. After Nature published an editorial suggesting that religious leaders should be consulted when dealing with ethical issues in science, an irate atheist wrote a letter protesting against this idea, which began: "I was horrified to read the recent Editorial 'Where theology matters' (Nature 432, 657; 2004) in the world's foremost science journal. Not only did the Editorial appear to support the position that science and religion deal with different aspects of reality (which they do not: for example, either Jesus rose from the dead or he didn't – clearly a scientific question) ... " D. J. Hosken, Centre for Ecology and Conservation, The University of Exeter in Cornwall, Tremough, Penryn, Cornwall TR10 9EZ, UK.
Editorial Comment: The Apostle Paul would agree with this sceptic – the resurrection of Jesus is not a matter of personal faith, it is matter of a fact. Paul wrote: "If Christ is not risen from the dead, then your faith is in vain." 1 Corinthians 15:17.
As we cannot directly investigate the past we must depend on the observation records made by reliable witnesses who were there. Thus, we believe in the resurrection of Christ because we have the records left by those who saw Him before His death, those who saw Him die and be buried, and who saw Him risen from the dead. The same applies to the origin of the world and what has happened to it since then. Thus, the conflict between creation and evolution is not blind faith versus fact-based science, but faith based on facts recorded by reliable witnesses who were there, versus faith in the speculations of evolutionists who were not there. (Ref. theology, philosophy, controversy)

We don't just talk about diversity.
Wheaton believes embracing diversity leads to personal growth, intellectual enrichment, freedom and social justice. Being a part of Wheaton means more than being tolerant of people who are different from you. It means appreciating and celebrating those differences.

The Marshall Center for Intercultural Learning works to affirm unique identities, builds a community that draws from them and cultivates leaders who value human diversity.
Wheaton's innovative curriculum, including Connections and Foundations courses, combines the breadth of the liberal arts with the opportunity to develop a fully dimensional view of the world.
Wheaton promotes student organizations and theme month programming to celebrate and advance our diverse campus.
Part of becoming an informed global citizen is understanding the religious beliefs and practices that are a significant component of cultural identity for many of the world's people. The Office of Service, Spirituality and Social Responsibility (SSSR) coordinates the Season of Service, all-inclusive spirituality programs and provides students an opportunity to engage in social responsibility.Wheaton College is committed to principles of equal opportunity in admission of students, its educational programs and employment.

Use of Dogs Only to Trail Wounded Deer Approved in 12 More Texas Counties
AUSTIN – Hunters will be allowed to use up to two dogs only to trail a wounded deer in 12 additional counties in East Texas during the 2013-14 deer season under a rule change approved by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission.
The rule change does not legalize the use of dogs to hunt, pursue or take deer; that practice remains illegal statewide in Texas. Hunters are allowed to use up to two dogs only for the purpose of trailing a wounded deer in all but 10 Texas counties. Counties where the practice of trailing wounded deer with dogs remains prohibited include: Angelina, Hardin, Jasper, Nacogdoches, Newton, Orange, Sabine, San Augustine, Shelby and Tyler.

Eek! I lost my creativity!
I wish this was just a post about blogger's block. Truth is, it's a lot bigger than that. For a few months now, I've been struggling with this nagging feeling that I'm just not cool anymore. I don't do cool things or get involved in things the way that I used to. Am I just getting boring? Is this the side effect of being a new parent?
It should have occurred to me that something was up when my good friend and sister blogger LP sent over a super cool article about someone in the movement who moonlights as a foodie, blogger, and cookbook author. My reaction was,
"Things like this make me think I need some more interesting hobbies!"
What in the world is that about? Is my creativity really lost? Gone the days of being a cool, interesting, badass activist?
No! Enter enlightenment my friends.
Reading Trauma Stewardship today, I got to the chapter outlining common trauma responses. Holy crap…I've got them. Not all of them, but more than I care to admit. It's a different kind of trauma response now than it was when I was a children's advocate. Back then, it was nightmares. Now, it's something different. I got to the part about Diminished Creativity and realized that she was talking about me!
At first, I was mad at myself. I've identified and survived vicarious trauma before in my career. I was able to overcome my nightmares by journaling. In a sense, the nightmares were an easy thing to identify and overcome. They were an event, a happening…something I could pinpoint and explain and it was really easy to know when I stopped having them.
This time, my trauma response seems more like a chronic, poking, dragging sort of feeling. It crept in like dense morning fog and it took a spotlight for me to realize that I wasn't thinking clearly anymore. My second reaction to reading about Diminished Creativity as a trauma response was relief. It all kind of makes sense now and I feel like I am going to be able to work on it.
Days like today, when everything comes together and it all makes sense, make me thankful for the opportunities that I have. I happen to work with a bunch of cool people who care about, think about, and actively work to dispel vicarious trauma. If it weren't for these people and the culture of this workplace, I would never have read this book. I might have gone on feeling uncool and uncreative. That's just no way to be my friends.

Super heroes don't always wear capes. They are normal people that embody goals and growth, and show us that living is more than just existing. They are the ones who take practice beyond the last set and the coach or parent who puts in overtime. The ones who LIVE their passion in life. Heroes live beyond the glory of a cape and know that life doesn't happen to them, it happens through them.
Play smart, Play Tough, Play Fair, Play Fast, Play Hard, Play with all your heart. Whether you are the MVP of the game or the player who holds the team spirit together, you are an important piece to the puzzle.

Connections 23010. Black Aesthetics
Black Aesthetics examines African American contributions to the visual arts, music and literature of the United States. Placing African American creativity within historical, sociological and political contexts, students may explore how black artists forged a creative culture that both illustrated their unique experience and identity and transformed the arts of the dominant culture within which they worked.
This may be completed as a two- or three-course connection. A two-course connection* must link courses from at least two different areas; a three-course connection must link courses from three areas.
*A two-course connection requires one course from creative arts or humanities with one course from history or social sciences.

Around the time the Facebook IPO disappointed Wall Street and shares in Zynga shed more than half their value, the VC herd lost its infatuation with social and decided enterprise was the place to be. As Wired noted in January, the top seven enterprise deals of 2012 amounted to more than $600 million in funding, lured by the post-IPO performance of enterprise plays like LinkedIn and Eloqua.
Now, "bubble" is a loaded term, and no one should confuse today's levels of VC investment with the manic excesses of 1999. But there are still bubblish signs, not the least of which is the size of some of the rounds. For example, we're still wondering what the cloud code repository GitHub plans to do with the $100 million Andreessen Horowitz handed it a year ago.
[ Also on InfoWorld: 12 "best practices" IT should avoid at all costs. | Subscribe to the InfoWorld Daily newsletter to stay current on the best tech analysis. ]
Then there are the astronomical developer salaries we've all heard about, which remind me of the desperate competition for Java programmers during the dot-com bubble. More generally, a whiff of the old arrogance has returned. I cringe when I hear the implication that Silicon Valley entrepreneurs are so much more important than ordinary humans.
Last but not least, the VC shift to enterprise has occurred at a time when enterprise IT spending is fragmenting. Are too many new vendors chasing big enterprise deals that are increasingly unlikely?
I asked that question at a recent roundtable event that featured leaders of four enterprise SaaS startups: GitHub, Mixpanel, New Relic, and Stripe. The answer, which came back loud and clear, was that these companies believe they are geared to the new, less centralized IT spending.
In particular, because the four companies in question are SaaS plays, they can follow the model of "sneaking in" to the enterprise pioneered by Salesforce. As New Relic founder and CEO Lew Cirne said, "We have two customers paying us $1 million a year that started at $400 a month." Moreover, all four startups are examples of dev-to-dev rather than b-to-b plays. Developers are making the initial buying decision under the radar of central IT purchasing.
IDC, among others, has predicted that cloud is where the growth lies in IT spending. Also, that strategic spending decisions will increasingly fall into the hands of marketing departments and lines of business, many of which are turning to outside providers that can provide better, faster solutions than internal IT can. Obviously, open source enterprise software vendors also offer low risk to the customer: Try before you buy and pay for professional services or enterprise editions as you get more serious.

"Although this set does not have a reception card, which is strange cause everyone gets a reception card most likely, BUT the great part about this you are able to customize it and I customized it to a reception card and even went back and forth with them to help me choose the best wording/option. I love it!"
"The quality is wonderful and there was plenty of space to include a lot of information. We wished to save funds by including hotel and wedding website information on the front and directions on the back. It was just what we hoped it would be! Very classy...or should I say, very vintage!"
"Quality of painting and paper was great, I used the signature matte card stock and it felt very sturdy. Easily customizable to match my invitation. Designer/reviewer gave great feedback quickly. Very satisfied overall!"
"I ordered these as enclosure card for my rehearsal dinner information. The were shipped quickly once I reviewed the final product."
"I asked them to change it up and they did exactly as I had asked and showed me a proof of it the next day. My invitations were exactly the way I wanted them. I loved them, defiantly recommend them."

Kids will be kids, right?
Eight-year-olds are now singing "I'm so happy to be part of the 99" in their elementary school - lyrics the children supposedly wrote themselves.
The children performed the song in October at Woodbrook Elementary School through Kid Pan Alley. Kid Pan Alley encourages elementary school children to become creators through songwriting. Supporting the organization, school representatives claim, "it is a benefit to the students and the school system."
Despite nationwide complaints over the "pro-Occupy" song, Steve Koleszar, the Albemarle County School Board Chair, states that Kid Pan Alley does not "censor what the kids write," and that these lyrics were "out of the kids' own mouths." Kid Pan Alley's mission concurs that the students discover the topic, although it also states "we guide the students through the songwriting process."
Carole Thorpe, the Jefferson Area Tea Party Chair, questions the school limits, and debates, "Does this also include religious content of lyrics? Would it include profanity? Does the school at any point say this content is inappropriate for an eight-year-old?"
Another question might be what is the children's source of inspiration - who is telling them they are part of the 99%?
Let kids be kids, while they still can.
UPDATE: Kid Pan Alley takes responsibility for Occupy song lyrics here.

My wife and 2 youngest children took a road trip to Key West to see my Brother In Law get married (Could he have picked a more remote place, heck why not Cuba)
Anyhow, my son and I love Jucy Lucy's but I was at Bed Bath and Beyond and I saw a nice Stuffed Burger Press for 7 bucks so I figured I'd give it a shot...
Made 4 burgers a little more than 1/3 lb each. 3 stuffed with American Cheese and 1 with Bleu Cheese (I was not happy with the Bleu Cheese I bought)
Got the Egg preheated to about 400 and put them on after they were in the freezer for about 30 minutes
Jucy Lucy by EKomrska, on Flickr
After about 14 minutes or so I would say they were ready and really didn't have much of a blow out at all. This press created such a great seal!!!! It really was worth the 7 bucks
Jucy Lucy by EKomrska, on Flickr
I'm a plain person when it comes to stuff on my burger. Ketchup, mayo, pickle slice and that's it....Most of the time I'll put an onion on it but didn't have any
Jucy Lucy by EKomrska, on Flickr
Here is where my disappointment lies...The bleu cheese just didn't melt and I don't know why. It was some Bleu Cheese made by Athnos maybe the Greek version of Bleu Cheese isn't all that good but that's what I get for sending my son over to the cheese department and telling him to get me it...
Jucy Lucy by EKomrska, on Flickr
Well after the disappointment with the first one I had to try one of the american cheese ones....And wow this knocked my socks off, When I squeezed it to get the cheese for this picture juice just squirted out all over me....This was the best jucy lucy I've made and the press made my life so easy....Here is the MONEY SHOT
Jucy Lucy by EKomrska, on Flickr
Burgers were fantastic and they weren't seasoned with anything else but S&P

Town Centre Christmas lights switch on cancelled
4:11pm Wednesday 21st November 2012
By Web Team
4:11pm Wednesday 21st November 2012
By Web Team
THE town centre Christmas lights switch on tomorrow night has been cancelled due to the weather.
The event, which was due to take place in Wharf Green, has been rescheduled for December 5 from 5pm in Wharf Green.
Simon Jackson, chief executive of inSwindon, said: "We had to make this decision based on the severe weather conditions for the comfort, and more importantly the safety of the crowd and performers.
"We are expecting high winds, as well as heavy rain, which prevents the fireworks display happening as recommended from our supplier.
"We are working with all those involved in the event to confirm their ability to take part in the rescheduled date, and we hope to add another special guest to the billing to further the excitement that this event brings to the town every year.
"I would advise everyone to log on to swindontowncentre.co.uk for further details and updates as and when they are released."

IT'S just over a week until the 2014 Malvern Carnival and Hat Festival and already excitement is building around the
town as final preparations are being made for an afternoon of fun and colour.
And organisers have just issued the definitive timetable for events next Saturday (July 12) to let everyone know when and where it's all happening in the town centre and Barnards Green.
The fun kicks off at the top of the town centre at 1pm, when the carnival floats will line up near the town's historic Abbey Gateway and Dancefest will be performing their Sightseers' dance routine in Rose Bank Gardens.
Entertainers Event Excellence will be doing theior thing in Church Street, while town councillors judge the first part of the hat competition.
And at 1.30pm, hat-wearers are asked to gather below the Elgar statue on Belle Vue Terrace for an amazing mass millinery photo organised by Beacon Camera Club.
At 2pm the carnival procession itself begins with mayor Julian Roskams leading the floats and the walking parade. There will be floats from Malvern Rotary Club, Event Excellence, BBC Hereford and Worcester, the Red Cross and many more together with Walking Hatters from Malvern Festival Theatre Players, Malvern Community Forest Group, Drumlove and The Tribe, to name just a few.
The procession will make its way down Church Street and Avenue Road and will end in Barnards Green where the second judging of the hats will continue and the prizes will be awarded.
There will be musical carnival capers which will include a children's magic show, a jitterbug dance-along and crazy golf until 4pm.
And all the fun is for a good cause as well, with proceeds going towards the Sunshine Children's Centre at Poolbrook, run by Action for Children.
Jim Richardson of the carnival committee said: "We are hoping to raise enough to give these vulnerable children a wonderful day out, so please come out and support your local Carnival and Hat Festival next Saturday."

If you are a Timberwolves fan, there is some level of pain/embarrassment/anger when the name Brandon Roy comes up. Memories emerge of draft night 2006, the night that Twolves brass decided to draft Roy with the 6th overall pick, only to trade him later that night for the 7th pick, Randy Foye. The two players could not have taken different paths in their professional careers as Roy quickly became one of the most feared shooting guards in the league while Foye became a mere afterthought for an organization in desperation mode. After several arthroscopic surgeries on both knees, Roy decided to call it quits at the tender age of 26 due to a lack of cartilage in his knees. In one of his final games as a Trail Blazer, Roy, having been demoted to a reserve role, scored 18 fourth quarter points in game 4 divisional series comeback win against the Dallas Mavericks, recapturing the national spotlight and providing hope that there was still a future for Roy despite his degenerative knees.
After retiring and sitting out this past season, Roy has been working back into NBA playing shape in an attempt to make a comeback to the game he loves. Ironically, this time he could come back as a…you guessed it… Timberwolf. Former Portland lead assistant and current Timberwolves assistant coach Bill Bayno has remained very close with Roy and Bayno has reportedly convinced Timberwolves brass that signing Roy would be worth the risk. With word coming out that Minnesota is set to offer Roy a two year pact when free agency begins next week, Wolves fans may soon have their chance to see the guy who slipped away in home colors. While Roy may never return to being the All-Star player that he once was, many NBA teams are intrigued at the possibility of adding a proven veteran and scoring punch off of the bench. Roy would not be a definite answer to Minnesota's 2-guard woes, but he could certainly help and it would be satisfying to finally witness him in the uniform he should have worn his entire career.
