DOE News
May 6, 2016 in Announcements by Nicholas Bizzack
Dear Student,
This is the first newsletter which will become part of the routine here at Expression. I will be writing to you all every two weeks to pass on news and communicate issues from the Faculty at large to the student body in order to facilitate a better and more regular line of communication between us.
As you are of course already aware, there have been a great many changes here at Ex'pression in the past year or so, and I feel that keeping the student body 'in the loop' is very important. So, I will endeavor to treat you all with respect, by being as honest as possible about what's happening at the college.
So let's get started!
Student Satisfaction Survey
A couple weeks ago, we asked you all to participate in a survey about your satisfaction with the school as a whole. Over about a week, we received responses from 54% of the student body – an acceptable number, but I'd hoped for better. A new goal for next time!
There were several key points that a large number of you agreed on: by and large, our faculty are doing a good job by being prepared for class, helping you to learn, and offering assistance. For example, 86% of you either agreed or strongly agreed that instructors seem knowledgeable in their area of teaching. Instructors are prepared for class according to 86% of respondents. 77% of you agree that when you have a problem, there is a representative for you to speak to. That's most of you, but I personally want to see that number go higher.
Most of you also seem to agree that the library (88%) and physical facilities (84%) are either good or great. That's excellent news!
There are some other areas which we clearly need to work on. The availability of equipment is not satisfactory to some of you, especially the Digital Filmmaking program. We were also surprised to note the low understanding/awareness of Career Services among the student body.
Those are two areas which we believe we can take immediate steps to improve. I am working with Brian Andrews and Elmo Frazer to budget for some improvements to certain Film-specific equipment. We are also working on a technical solution for the Equipment Room with the new supervisor, Alana de Ocampo, to make sure we are using our equipment as efficiently as we can. Alana is also arranging some repairs for several pieces of equipment – we definitely need to make sure the gear you all need is in working order!
I'll also take a moment to thank you all for your feedback. I know surveys are a bit of a hassle, but the data really helps us make decisions. Those of you who wrote extensive comments in the final two questions have given me some important insights into the current mood of the student body. I only arrived at Expression in January, so getting some of your input now has been helpful to understand where you are coming from.
Faculty & Staff Email Migration
This weekend, the Expression employee email system is going to move servers. We have a robust IT plan in place which should mean no interruptions to service, but just in case you are trying to get in touch with your teacher, it might be a good idea to check-in via Canvas or in person early next week.
Dean's List Pizza
Last week I got to meet a few of the folks who made the Dean's list over a slice of pie and talk about the good times they were having here at Ex'pression. It's always inspiring to me to see the achievements of our students who are tackling the challenges of a Bachelor's degree and really setting the standard. Hopefully I'll meet many more of you in those events! Congratulations once again to those students!
New Equipment
Animators will be happy to see new Xerox scanners in the classroom for 2D animation classes. These should be online within a week or two depending on delivery. Digital Filmmakers will be very happy to see two new Blackmagic 4K camera kits available in the Equipment Room. These will be available soon, pending delivery, training and registration with the ER.
Coming Up…
Finals – GOOD LUCK! Study hard, pay attention to details, and show us what you've got.
1605 Schedules – These are almost complete. Keep an eye on your Portal pages.
Faculty Office Hours – Look out for a new routine for scheduling time with your teachers.
As always, I am available here on email or drop by my office if you have any questions, issues, or want to share good news!

The New Year is a time of looking forward to the year ahead and planning how this year can be better than the last. As you are planning your New Year's resolutions, don't forget about your marketing strategy. Resolve to make better use of social media for your business in 2014. Doing so will grow your online presence, improve your SEO, and bring you better returns on your blogging investment.
What does improving your social media presence look like? That depends on where you start.
Facebook, what?
If you are new to the world of social media, you might see Facebook, Twitter, and even LinkedIn as something your kids or associates use, but not for you. The problem is, more and more of your clients are using social media as a tool to find and vet business professionals. If you opt out you are missing out on a growing piece of the pie.
That's What I Use at Home.
Personal social media accounts are great to connect with family and friends and keep up with current events, but they are not the best option for your new business social media platform. Instead, resolve to create a dedicated business page with your branding, hours, location, and contact information. Then invite your personal friends to like your business page.
But What Do I Do With It Now?
One great way to get started using your social media accounts is to link them to your blog. That way, every time you post a new article, your target audience will get a reminder of who you are and what you do. This will drive more traffic to your blog, which will in turn send more people to your door.
It's Got to Be More Than That.
If you've already set up your business social media accounts and linked them to your blog, you are ready to take your social media presence to the next level. Using an application like Hootsuite, schedule regular posts to your social media accounts. These can be anything from your latest blog post to a picture of you at a networking event, or even a client testimonial. Mix it up and keep your social media presence fresh. Try to post at least once a day at different times to reach the biggest audience.
No matter what stage you are at in your social media experience, 2014 can be the year you take your web presence further. By resolving to improve your social media marketing you can increase your marketability and drive in new business. If you need help implementing a social media strategy, contact blogging coach Lisa Schmidt.

Hawick captain Bruce McNeil rued his side's "lapses in concentration and lack of accuracy" in Saturday's loss to Stirling County, but the veteran backrow forward remains confident the Robbie Dyes will bounce back from the setback.
"It was a big disappointment after being in multiple good positions to possibly win the game," said McNeil of the season opener.
"We squandered chances when we had a healthy lead, leaving points on the field. Those mistakes ultimately came back to haunt us in the second half as they shut us out and went on to claim the points. We let them score on first phase attacking possessions and at this level that is not acceptable. Our defence should be doing a better job of stopping them."
Hawick led 19-8 before the half-time interval, but defensive lapses and careless ball handling allowed the hosts to close the points gap with a converted score and penalty.
The second half was one-way traffic as Stirling controlled the tempo and pace, scoring 10 points and shutting Hawick out with their staunch defence.
"After the break they came out a bit more fired up than us and that told," added McNeil.
"They grabbed a couple of early scores and we didn't really get going until the final twenty minutes. It is a massively disappointing considering the weather was perfect for us to play our style of game. They were beatable but we just didn't execute."
Hawick have now failed to win their opening league game dating back seven years andMcNeil added: "There wasn't a whole lot that we did completely wrong against Stirling but at this level it is fine margins that win and lose you games."

Haven't had the best day ever, had a very frustrating time trying to change my car registration and license over to the ACT (there is a reason I have put it off for a year and nine months!) and I think because of that stress and fatigue I've ended up with the worst pain I've had in awhile. It's definitely still nowhere near as bad as it used to be before my operation, but it's a different kind of pain. A kind of pressing, slightly tugging, constant pain, that I've had to learn to deal with over the last six months because it's a different kind of pain from what I'm used to.
I used to have about 2.5 weeks in a month where I would be mostly fine (0-1 pain scale), and about 1 week where I was in quite a lot of pain but could function (with a lot of effort, drugs and heat packs, 6 -8 pain scale) and about half a week when the pain was excruciating, I could hardly move and I'd get contraction-like pain (this is when I would have time off work, 9-10 pain scale). Now it's more like 4 weeks with constant everyday pain ranging from 2-5, along with frequently having to visit the loo since my bladder hurts when it's even slightly full. Tonight's a 5. I think that in the long run having everyday low-level pain (although hopefully that might resolve itself too) is something that is more conducive to me living a normal life than the crazy labour-type pains I was getting every month that I had no control over. (It helps that I'm pretty much not getting my period anymore because of the Mirena).
I've also pretty much stopped taking all painkillers at the moment - partly so I don't push myself too hard and overdo it (since pain is there for a reason, right?), but also because I don't like the way I feel on them, even if they take away the pain (which they don't always) and I'd rather not have to rely on them and instead be able to cope with my pain using my brain.

ISTANBUL — Secretary of State John Kerry announced Sunday morning that the United States would double its aid to the Syrian opposition, providing $123 million in fresh assistance.
Mr. Kerry made the announcement at a meeting with foreign ministers from Western and Middle Eastern nations that was convened here to decide how to help the opposition in Syria's bitter civil war, which has killed more than 70,000 people.
A portion of the new American aid, the State Department said, will help provide additional "nonlethal" supplies to the military wing of the National Coalition of Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, an umbrella organization formed in November to unite the various rebel groups that have been trying to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad for two years.
American officials did not specify the items to be sent, saying that will be determined in consultation with the coalition. But the Obama administration has been considering providing military equipment like body armor and night-vision goggles.
"This conflict is now spilling across borders and is now threatening neighboring countries," Mr. Kerry said during a news conference he held with Moaz al-Khatib, the leader of the Syrian coalition, and Ahmet Davutoglu, the Turkish foreign minister. "The president directed me to step up our efforts."
A major goal of the meeting here was to buttress the role of moderates within the opposition forces and to isolate extremist groups like the Nusra Front, which the United States has said is affiliated with Al Qaeda. That entailed finding consensus among supporting nations about how military assistance should be channeled to the rebels.
Toward that end, the foreign ministers decided that all future military assistance would be funneled "exclusively" through the Supreme Military Council, the military wing of the coalition. This procedure is intended to address the concern that some of the opposition's financial backers in Persian Gulf states have been less particular than Western nations about the rebel factions they support.
Another goal was to secure a new commitment from the Syrian opposition coalition that it is prepared to enter into a negotiation over a political transition to a post-Assad Syria, if one can ever be organized, and that a post-Assad government would be a democracy in which the rights of minorities would be protected.
At the end of the meetings, the Syrian coalition issued a declaration stating that it is "aiming at a political solution," rejected extremism, and said that a post-Assad Syria would be pluralistic and based on the rule of law.
During a closed-door session, General Salim Idris, the head of the opposition's command, gave a presentation to the foreign minister that was intended to show that he had a functioning chain of command and that military aid the Syrian opposition received would be used properly.
The new aid Mr. Kerry announced on Sunday would be in addition to the food rations and medical supplies that the United States pledged to provide to the military wing of the Syrian resistance at a conference in late February in Rome. That assistance is scheduled to be provided by April 30.
With the pledge of fresh aid, the total amount of nonlethal assistance from the United States to the coalition and civic groups inside the country is $250 million. During the meeting here, Mr. Kerry urged other nations to step up their assistance, with the objective of providing $1 billion in international aid.
Despite this, the assistance promised at the meeting fell well short of the military help the Syrian opposition has long sought. In a statement issued before the meeting, the coalition asked for several steps, including airstrikes to stop the Syrian government from firing Scud missiles, the establishment of a no-fly zone along Syria's northern and southern borders, and a United Nations resolution condemning the Syrian government for what the opposition claims is its use of chemical weapons.
Still, diplomats said that the agreement on how to channel military aid to the opposition and the political assurances by the Syrian opposition provided a foundation for expanding international assistance if Mr. Assad refused to yield power.
"These things are very important for many countries to be able to expand the assistance they give," said William Hague, the British foreign secretary.
The embargo on sending arms to Syria that was imposed by the European Union will come up for renewal at end of May.
"We are already stepping up our assistance," a Turkish official said. If Mr. Assad refuses to step aside, he added, "what comes next is further expansion of this assistance."

Thanks to ongoing innovations in science and construction, homeowners have increasing options to help make their home or business more energy efficient. Today, we will discuss the homes main external defense against energy waste - siding.
R-Value of SidingThe R-Value of an appliance or a building material refers to its level of energy efficiency. The higher the R-Value, the more energy efficiency the product is. Most types of siding have a score of less than 1. As a matter of fact, many siding types have very low R-Values of 0.11. On the other hand, some siding types have high R-Value scores from 3 to 5.
All the numbers and research can be quite daunting for some but, thankfully there are experts here to help. The team at Palmetto Outdoor Solutions is ready to help you with siding Rock Hill, SC as well as Charlotte, NC. Go ahead, give us a call when you are ready to discuss siding for your home or business.
Energy Efficient Insulated SidingWhen compared to common siding types, those made from steel, aluminum or insulated vinyl can prove to be up to five times more energy efficient. These sidings prove their worth with an average R-Value score of 2.5 to 5+, and can help your house pass the level to achieve the Energy Star designation. In addition, the more durable, energy saving sidings also need much less maintenance. For example, insulated vinyl siding would be expected to last at least 30 years.
When you replace your old, worn out or damaged siding with an energy efficient and insulated siding, you might want to consider replacing or adding more exterior insulation first. The quality and efficiency of insulation products have likely improve drastically since your was built. This new exterior insulation and insulated siding in addition to your home's interior insulation and spray foam mean you should start seeing big savings in electric.

- The following are some other benefits of using siding made up of steel, aluminum or insulated vinyl:
- Aids your home in achieving the Energy Star designation: A home that has the Energy Star designation stands to gain several incentives and tax credits from some electric companies.
- Increases the lifespan of the HVAC system: By sealing your house's envelope, you will reduce stress faced by your HVAC system, especially during the extreme summer and winter temperatures.
- Reduces your house's vulnerability to mold: With your home or business sealed up and protected, it is unlikely humidity will be able to seep in. This means moisture cannot build and mold cannot grow.
- Increase your house's value: With an increase in energy efficiency, the resale value of your house goes up too. Plus, it looks good.

Ann Rule, whose 1980 study of the serial killer Ted Bundy, "The Stranger Beside Me," set her on the road to writing dozens of best-selling true-crime books praised for their insight into criminal psychology, died on Sunday at a medical center in Burien, Wash. She was 83.
The cause was congestive heart failure and respiratory failure, said Scott Thompson, a spokesman for CHI Franciscan Health, which operates the Highline Medical Center in Burien.
Ms. Rule's articles had been appearing in the magazine True Detective for more than a decade when, in the mid-1970s, fate delivered her biggest subject to her doorstep. She was working on a book about a series of unsolved murders in the Seattle area when the police in Utah arrested the man they believed to be the killer, a former law student named Theodore Robert Bundy.
The name did more than ring a bell. In the early 1970s Bundy had been a close friend and colleague, answering the suicide hotline with her on the night shift at the Seattle crisis center where they both volunteered.
Initially, Ms. Rule refused to believe that Bundy was the killer. "For a long time I was holding out hope that he was innocent, that somehow this all was a terrible mistake," she told The Houston Chronicle in 2003. "And it wasn't just me, it was all the people who worked with him."
After Bundy escaped from jail and went on a killing spree in Florida, Ms. Rule changed her mind, and the focus of her book. Published in 1980, it became an instant best seller, admired for its detailed accounts of police procedure, the work of criminal investigators and courtroom drama, not to mention the author's jailhouse interviews with Bundy.
The book, updated several times, was made into a television movie, "Ann Rule Presents: The Stranger Beside Me," broadcast on the USA Network in 2003. Barbara Hershey took the role of Ms. Rule, and Billy Campbell played Bundy, a man Ms. Rule described, in the 2009 edition of her book, as "a sadistic sociopath who took pleasure from another human's pain and the control he had over his victims, to the point of death, and even after."
Ann Rae Stackhouse was born on Oct. 22, 1931, in Lowell, Mich. Her father, Chester R. Stackhouse, known as Stack, was a college football, basketball and track and field coach who took jobs all over the country, relocating the family again and again. Her mother, the former Sophie Hansen, taught special education.
As a child, Ann was surrounded by relatives in law enforcement: two sheriffs, a prosecuting attorney and a medical examiner.
On summer vacations in Stanton, Mich., where her maternal grandparents lived in the building that housed the county jail, she helped her grandmother prepare meals for the prisoners.
"I would pass the tray through the slot in the pantry to the prisoners, and they were so nice," Ms. Rule told The Seattle Times in 2004. "So I would always ask my grandpa, 'How come they're locked up?' I wanted to know why some kids grew up to be criminals and why other people didn't. That is still the main thrust behind my books: I want to know why these things happen, and so do my readers."
After graduating from high school in Coatesville, Pa., she earned a degree in creative writing in 1953 from the University of Washington, where she also took courses in abnormal psychology, criminology and penology.
She joined the Seattle Police Department as a provisional officer but left after a year and half when she failed the eye exam. She later earned an associate degree in criminal justice at Highline Community College in Des Moines, Wash.
When her husband, Bill Rule, left his job to go back to school, she began writing to make money. (They divorced in 1972.)
Ms. Rule started out freelancing for baby-care magazines, Sunday supplements and true-confession magazines before moving on to publications like Cosmopolitan, Ladies' Home Journal, Good Housekeeping and Reader's Digest.
She began writing for True Detective in 1969 under the pseudonyms Arthur Stone, Chris Hansen and Andy Stack, using male names at her editors' insistence. She wrote two 10,000-word articles a week for the next 13 years.
After the success of the Bundy book, which she wrote under her own name, Ms. Rule wrote three books on serial killers as Andy Stack: "The Want-Ad Killer," "Lust Killer" and "The I-5 Killer." She also wrote a novel, "Possession," loosely based on a murder in Oregon.
Soon she settled into a productive routine, turning out about two books a year: a hardcover title dealing with the investigation of a single crime, and a paperback in the "Ann Rule's Crime Files" series, which described a variety of cases. Perhaps not surprising, given her subject matter, she wrote with a wooden baseball bat and a gun at hand, telling interviewers that she saw the world as a dangerous place.
"To choose a book subject, I weed through about 3,000 suggestions from readers," Ms. Rule told a fan in a CNN chat room in 1999. "I'm looking for an 'antihero' whose eventual arrest shocks those who knew him (or her): attractive, brilliant, charming, popular, wealthy, talented, and much admired in their communities — but really hiding behind masks."
In a crowded field, she consistently led the pack, taking up most of the real estate in the true-crime shelves of bookstores. Reviewing "Dead by Sunset" for The New York Times in 1995, Walter Walker wrote that Ms. Rule "brings to her work the passion, the prodigious research and the narrative skill to create suspense from a situation in which the outcome is a matter of fact, known to many readers before they open the book."
Her many books include "Green River, Running Red," "Bitter Harvest" and "Small Sacrifices," which was made into a television mini-series, broadcast on ABC in 1989, with Ryan O'Neal and Farrah Fawcett.
Her latest book, "Practice to Deceive," about a 2003 murder on Whidbey Island, Wash., was published in 2013.
Ms. Rule, who lived in Normandy Park, Wash., is survived by her daughters Leslie Rule, a writer of paranormal crime nonfiction, and Laura Harris; her sons Michael and Andrew Rule and Bruce Sherles; and seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
To the end, Ted Bundy, and "The Stranger Beside Me," haunted her. "I really thought in 1980, when I wrote this book, that I could get it all out of my head, it would be very cathartic, and I would never have to think about Ted Bundy again," she told The Houston Chronicle.
"And yet, he just fascinated people, and he still does. I probably get two emails a day, many of them from women who think they got away from him, and some of them are so close, I think they did."

Brands Hatch Mini Festival
This weekend saw the coming together of hundreds of Minis and Mini fans at Brands Hatch to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Mini. There were Minis from all eras lined up on display from Mini clubs around the country. I particularly liked a stretch Mini and a patriotic looking red, white, and blue one.
On the track there was Mini racing to watch. I spent the morning in the grandstand and watched the racing from there. The view was very good as you can see the cars coming off the start/finish line and diving into the steep Paddock Hill bend where they had a few wheel lockups.
After lunch we watched a few races from the bottom of Paddock Hill bend giving me a different view of the circuit.
During a break in the racing the cars were lined up on the grid for a Grid Walk to allow the spectators the chance to mingle between the cars and talk to the drivers. Scalextric was sponsoring the racing and the two Scalextric Club Minis were there on the grid.
After the grid walk we walked through the trade stalls and on one I purchased a Mini pin badge for my collection. This badge was originally given to staff at Longbridge when the Mini car production was there.
The viewing areas are reasonably accessible for wheelchair users and there are plenty of disabled loo's, although some of them are a bit small.
We watched the last race from the start/finish line where we could see all the cars getting ready to race. This was a 40min endurance race with a compulsory pit stop for a driver change. There was a crash which caused the safety car to come out just as the pit stop window opened, so all the cars streamed into the pits all at once. After the safety car pulled in there was a very exciting restart, and the racing for the rest of the race was very close.There are more photographs to look at if you click the picture.

You know the mantra—if the return is timely mailed, it's timely filed and the tax is timely paid. So says Section 7502 of the Internal Revenue code. In general, proving the mailing is "timely" is a matter of providing a receipt from the mail service.
But what mail service? Besides the US Post Office, section 7502 says the Secretary of the Treasury can designate certain "private delivery services" for purposes of the rule. The Secretary did, in Notice 2004-83, updated December 27, 2004. The delivery services include DHL Express, Federal Express, and United Parcel Service.
Unfortunately for the taxpayer in T.C. Memo. 2013-269 (Eichelburg), there's a bit more detail in Notice 2004-83.
The taxpayer received a notice from the IRS via certified mail on June 11, 2012. He had 90 days to respond, until September 10, 2012, which was not a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday in the District of Columbia (the location of the tax court).
He mailed his petition on September 10, 2012, using a Federal Express delivery service denominated "FedEx Express Saver." The petition was received and filed by the court on September 12, 2012.
The IRS said the petition was late, because the timely mailed/timely filed rule did not apply to that particular delivery service.
The tax court agreed, pointing to the specific listing in Notice 2004-83, which does not include "FedEx Express Saver."
Taxing Lesson: Do you know which private delivery services are listed in Notice 2004-83? Here are the .
1. DHL Express (DHL): DHL Same Day Service; DHL Next Day 10:30 am; DHL Next Day 12:00 pm; DHL Next Day 3:00 pm; and DHL 2nd Day Service;
2. Federal Express (FedEx): FedEx Priority Overnight, FedEx Standard Overnight, FedEx 2 Day, FedEx International Priority, and FedEx International First; and
3. United Parcel Service (UPS): UPS Next Day Air, UPS Next Day Air Saver, UPS 2nd Day Air, UPS 2nd Day Air A.M., UPS Worldwide Express Plus, and UPS Worldwide Express.

About Gateway >
The University Core reflects the values of its founding and partnering communities–the Society of Jesus (Jesuit), Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary (Marymount), and the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange (CSJ). Rooted in the traditional Jesuit emphasis on classics, philosophy, theology, the liberal arts, and faith that does justice, the Core also reflects the Marymount commitment to faith, culture, and the arts. Moreover, the CSJ work for unity and reconciliation pervades the Core's emphasis on integration. The Core encourages students to value learning, and to carry that love of learning into their future lives. Valuing learning has two key components: a distinctively Catholic, humanistic vision of intellectual inquiry as well as the cultivation of particular skills. Both are necessary for students to be thoughtful, critical, and engaged citizens of the world. The Core values and educates the whole person. The LMU University Core therefore emphasizes the formation of students as whole persons, integrated in thinking, feeling, and action. As such, the Core includes intellectual, creative/artistic, and moral development. The Core invites students to analyze their relationship with themselves, others, the world, and God. The Core serves faith by bringing students to a critical and appreciative understanding of religious traditions, and to see the search for God as intrinsic to the human condition. The Core recognizes LMU's special role in creating men and women who will be discerning and active members of diverse communities, local and global. The Core includes the study of ethical theories and moral development, in which students come to recognize the value of acting rightly and using knowledge mindfully in the promotion of justice.
Through the LMU Core, students will know…
Through the LMU Core, students will be able to…
Through the LMU Core, students will value…
The Core moves from Foundations, to Explorations, to Integrations, carefully educating mindful women and men for others. Foundations courses introduce students to the intellectual life of LMU; guide them to confront important issues about values, faith, justice, race, gender, sexuality, and culture; and emphasize fundamental communication and reasoning skills. Exploration courses build on the skills and knowledge gained in the Foundations courses, refining them through the different disciplinary methods and perspectives of the humanities, arts, natural sciences, and social sciences. Integrations courses challenge students to take the skills and knowledge from the Foundations and Explorations courses, as well as their majors, and apply them to interdisciplinary consideration of thematic questions. In addition, Flagged courses in writing, oral skills, quantitative reasoning, information literacy, and engaged learning build on and reinforce the skills and critical thinking that students obtain in the Foundations courses.
Students fulfill One Area Requirement per course. Courses in a student's major may also satisfy Core requirements, so the total number of courses required outside of a student's major will typically be fewer than 13 listed below. Flagged courses will typically be courses that also satisfy other Core or major requirements so they do not add to the total course requirements for most students.
Foundations (Years 1-2)
Students fulfill One Area Requirement per course in each of these Areas:
First Year Seminar (Year 1)
Rhetorical Arts (Year 1)
Quantitative Reasoning
Theological Inquiry
Philosophical Inquiry
Studies in American Diversity
Explorations (Years 2-3)
Students fulfill One Area Requirement per course in each of these Areas:
Creative Experience
Historical Analysis and Perspectives
Nature of Science, Technology, and Mathematics
Understanding Human Behavior
Integrations (Years 3-4)
Students fulfill One Area Requirement per course in each of these Areas*:
Faith and Reason
Ethics and Justice
Interdisciplinary Connections
* Students enrolled in a Bachelor of Science in Engineering or Engineering Physics program are required to take only two Integrations courses: Faith and Reason and Ethics and Justice. For these students, there are a total of 12 required Areas.
** The Quantitative Reasoning Flag is met by the curriculum of the majors in the Frank R. Seaver College of Science and Engineering.
The University Core Curriculum provides a common foundation for every undergraduate student at LMU. The power to develop additional core requirements will reside with Major and Minor programs rather than Colleges and Schools.

Brazil is seeing a whole lot of green these days after slashing its rate of Amazonian deforestation by about 90%.
The happy decline began after Brazil became more aggressive in protecting its Amazon basin by creating protected areas in 2004, designating more than half of that land for use in national parks.
How to Build a Rainforest in Just Eight Years (WATCH)
The country also placed a moratorium on highly sought-after soybeans if they were grown on deforested Amazon land. They used satellites to monitor farming and industrial activity, and got more people on the ground to enforce environmental laws. A blog, Conserve, has collected a lot of the detail about how this was accomplished. For example, some multi-national corporations, under pressure to stop the clear-cutting, agreed to throttle back their operations.
RELATED: World's Five Biggest Palm Oil Growers Agree To Moratorium on Deforestation
Brazil's impressive performance contributed to a decline in the overall Amazonian deforestation rate so that now the number is one-sixth of what it was in 2004–dropping from its peak of 27,400 square kilometers cleared per year to just 4,800. According to research at Tropical Conservation Science, what has been achieved so far makes it possible to envision the reduction of Amazon deforestation to zero within the next decade.
These stats should help us all breathe easier, since the Amazon rainforest generates about one-fifth of the world's oxygen.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, reminds investors in Ampio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Ampio" or the "Company") (NYSE-MKT:AMPE) of the October 24, 2018 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.
If you invested in Ampio stock or options between December 14, 2017 and August 7, 2018 and would like to discuss your legal rights, click here: www.faruqilaw.com/AMPE. There is no cost or obligation to you.
You can also contact us by calling Richard Gonnello toll free at 877-247-4292 or at 212-983-9330 or by sending an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
685 Third Avenue, 26th Floor
New York, NY 10017
Attn: Richard Gonnello, Esq.
Telephone: (877) 247-4292 or (212) 983-9330
The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of all those who purchased Ampio securities between December 14, 2017 and August 7, 2018 (the "Class Period"). The case, Shi v. Ampio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al., No. 18-cv-07476 was filed on August 25, 2018.
The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose that: (1) the FDA would find Ampio's AP-003-C Phase 3 clinical trial for Ampion, the Company's flagship drug, inadequate and not well-controlled; (2) as a result, Ampio had not successfully completed two pivotal clinical trials for Ampion; and (3) consequently, Defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
Specifically, on August 7, 2018, after the market closed, Ampio announced updated business disclosures relating to its AP-003-A and AP-003-C trials. The announcement revealed that the FDA did not consider the AP-003-C study to be an adequate and well-controlled clinical trial, and that the study's shortcomings prevented FDA support for a Biologic License Application ("BLA").
On this news, Ampio's share price fell from $2.86 per share on August 7, 2018 to $0.61 per share on August 8, 2018—a $2.25 or 78.89% drop.
The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Ampio's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

Why do I need a Written IT Security Plan?
Does your company have a Written IT Security Plan (WISP)? If not, you could be an easy target for cybercriminals, lose lucrative business, and potentially end up on the wrong side of the law.
For example, companies are increasingly requiring lengthy compliance documents from organizations with whom they want to do business. Without a WISP, it is hard to comply in a timely fashion, which means you could lose hard-won business to a competitor who already has their security program in place and documented.
Consider these findings in the recent Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report:
- 97% of breaches were avoidable through simple or intermediate controls.
- 79% of victims were targets of opportunity.
- 85% of breaches took weeks or more to discover.
- 92% of incidents were discovered by a third party.
This is a pretty dismal state of affairs, but if you create a WISP and the controls that go with it, then train your employees with good Information Security Online Training, you can avoid the all-too-common, and increasingly expensive scenario of finding out from a third party that you've been leaking sensitive data for weeks just because you missed an obvious (and potentially embarrassing) step in securing your data.
If you are an SMB then a WISP might sound like a lot of work, but consider the exposure you suffer if you continue to delay implementing a WISP.
If your company suffers a security breach and does not have a Written IT Security Plan (WISP), then your regulatory and business problems will likely multiply. Indeed, in some states (especially Massachusetts) the penalties can be severe, and don't expect to be let off with a slap of the wrist just because you are a small company.
Kaliber Data Security's Certified Information Security Professionals are specialists in the development of IT Security Plans.

102/100 BCE: Gaius Julius Caesar was born (by Caesarean section according to an unlikely legend) of Aurelia and Gaius Julius Caesar, a praetor. His family had noble, patrician roots, although they were neither rich nor influential in this period. His aunt Julia was the wife of Gaius Marius, leader of the Popular faction. c. 85 BCE: His father died, and a few years later he was betrothed and possibly married to a wealthy young woman, Cossutia.

the truth." Composers inevitably manipulate the exhibition of meaning and perspective via an amalgamation of linguistic and textual form to provoke an interpretation of deliberate bias, as typified within William Shakespeare's timeless tragedy Julius Caesar (1599), Oliver Stone's conspiracy driven film JFK (1991), and the provocative feature article Poisoning the truth by Mariane Pearl (AWW, April 2008, pp 85-88).

Julius Caesar His Family Background and Position Gaius Julius Caesar was born on the 13th of July 100 BC. His father was also called Gaius Julius Caesar and in about 100 BC he would have completed a term as quaestor, the lowest rank in the hierarchy of Roman officials. His mother was Aurelia, the daughter of Lucius Aurelius Cotta, who had been consul in 119 BC. This relationship provided Caesar with opportunities that were not normally available. Their family belonged to the patricate, Rome's

tongue to be a weapon to smite his enemies. This ability to use words as weapons is one Marc Antony uses to turn the tides against Brutus. In William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, two of the most famous and profound speeches of all time were crafted by Marcus Brutus and Marcus Antonius on the day of Julius Caesar's death. Marc Antony and Brutus are both dear friends of Caesar, but they stand on opposite sides of this impromptu funeral match. William Shakespeare took what information he could from Plutarch's earlier writing and used it to bring about his own

Julius Caesar In Shakespeare's play, Julius Caesar, Caesar met his bloody end at the hands of the conspirators in the first scene of act 3. Their plan successfully happened and achieved, however; Caesar's "best-friend" Antony was enraged. The conspiracy saw Caesar as a tyrant whom wanted to take over the city, dictatorship.

No matter how good and well you take care of your skin by following the skin-care regimen that's best for you, dry skin can sometimes creep up on you with some of the most dire consequences you never thought possible.
Having a chronically dry skin can result in irritation, Flaking and skin damage which may result in premature aging.
Despite these negative effects, the good thing is that if you're able to identify the specific causes of your dry skin, there's a chance you'd be able to correct the problem. Here are some reasons your skin is parched and the things you can do to have a luscious and well hydrated skin.
It's Hereditary
There's also a likelihood that your dry and patchy skin is inherited from your parents. Some people are born genetically with skin cells that don't have enough proteins which can help the skin retain moisture.
What you need to do if your skin dryness is hereditary is to use moisturizers that contain ceramides and lipids which can help to reinforce the skin barriers and reduce dryness.
The Type Of Perfume You Use
While you may be using a perfume that smells very nice, there's a chance that the ingredients of the perfume is irritating and having a negative effect on your skin. A lot of perfumes contain compounds that can worsen an already dry skin and it's best to be careful when choosing them.
Be on the lookout for perfumes that contain moisturising ingredients such as vanilla or honey. Also, fragrances that are oil-based or those that make use of bean-based butters such as shea or cocoa butter can help to provide soft skin and extra hydration.
You Take Hot Showers
Showering more than once a day and particularly taking hot showers can have a negative impact on your skin. While taking hot showers may be necessary in cold weather, it can worsen your dry skin by destroying the upper oily layer of the epidermis causing dryness.
You can avoid this by ensuring you do not shower beyond 10 minutes, once a day when the weather is mild. Also make sure the water is not too hot.
You Have An Unfriendly Bedroom
An Unfriendly Bedroom is one reason for dry skin that a lot of people fail to pay attention to. Sleeping in a room that is not properly ventilated can make your skin suffer. This is because as you sleep, your body temperature rises, which causes increased evaporation of moisture from the skin. This condition is known as trans-epidermal water loss and can be responsible for dry skins.
Sleeping in an airy room can alleviate this. Also, you can add moisture to your face by making use of humidifier and acid-based moisturizers which can help to pull moisture to the skin.
You Spend A Lot Of Time In Swimming Pools
Swimming pools contain chlorine and spending a lot of time in them can severely affect your skin. While swimming is a good way to relax and exercise, spending time in Chlorine can both protect you from germs and also damage your skin by causing flakiness.
You can protect yourself by rubbing skin moisturising lotions in dry areas of your skin before you dive into any pool. It will act as a barrier between your skin and the chlorine from the water.
You Use Anti-Aging Treatments
While we all want to look younger, you should be wary of the fact that anti-aging products can also trigger dry skin. A lot of such treatments contains ingredients such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, retinol, and benzoyl peroxide which has the tendency to increase the turnover of skin cells, which in turn causes excess dryness.
If you must use such treatments, layer them below your moisturizers to help prevent drying of your skin.

Milestone birthdays customarily spark reflection on the past and future of the celebrant. The Enterprise 2.0 Conference celebrated its 5th birthday last week with a solid program of pre-conference workshops, keynote speeches, and breakout sessions. The event, as always, provided attendees with a good feel for both the current state, as well as the future, of enterprise social software, networking, and business. This post will focus on insights, gleaned from the conference, about the here and now of social in the enterprise. A subsequent post will address the implications for its future.
Practice: A Bias Toward "How"
An early observation from the Enterprise 2.0 Conference was that several of the most visible "doers" of enterprise social were not participating this year. Dion Hinchcliffe, Gia Lyons, and David Armano (among others) were too busy helping customers plan and deliver enterprise social initiatives to attend. Their absence is, of course, a positive indicator of the current interest in, and embrace of, social activity in organizations.
Those who were at the conference also voiced a bias toward action. One of the most commonly heard pieces of feedback on the event was that the content focused too much on selling and justifying the concepts of E2.0 and social business. Attendees were looking for more information and knowledge about how to use social to successfully achieve business objectives. To paraphrase one attendee's tweet, we get why, but thirst for how.
One tell-tale sign of this sentiment was the prevalence of the topic of adoption in informal conversations, despite it's (intentional?) exclusion from the official E2.0 Conference program. Perhaps the early adopters who have attended multiple iterations of the conference have largely moved beyond adoption concerns, but the fresh faces at the event have not and asked for more of the kind of guidance provided in the pre-conference Practitioner's Black Belt workshop.
Another indication of the need to understand how, as opposed to why, was the enthusiastically positive reactions to the conference sessions that dealt with topics such as organizational design and behavior, leadership, and performance management. Past E2.0 Conferences have conveniently put forth organizational culture as a bogey man standing in the way of adopting social behaviors and tools, without offering ways to affect cultural transformation. Several of this year's sessions addressed concrete aspects of organizational change management. Most notable were the remarks delivered by Cisco's Jim Grubb, Sara Roberts of Roberts Golden, Electronic Arts' Bert Sandie, Deb Lavoy from OpenText, Amy Wilson of Wilson Insight, and Altimeter Group Fellow Marcia Connor.
Technology: Focus on Integration
It was clear before the conference even began that the topic of integration of newer social technologies with well-established enterprise systems would be front and center this year. While that topic was in the spotlight, the current lack of meaningful integration stood out against the talk of plans to integrate enterprise social software with other applications, systems, and business processes. The harsh truth is that the current crop of enterprise social software is dominated by stand-alone applications and suites – collaboration destinations that are not in the flow of work for most and that have created new silos of information and knowledge in organizations.
Enterprise social software vendors have begun to build and offer integrations between their systems of engagement and established systems of record (to use Geoffrey Moore's crystal-clear terms) such as Enterprise Resource Planning, Customer Relationship Management, and Enterprise Content Management. However, most of these integrations assume that the social application/suite will be the place where people do the majority of their work. Data and information from other enterprise systems are brought into the social layer, where it can be commented upon and shared (socialized) with others. This flies in the face of reality, as evidenced by the limited success of enterprise portals deployments intended to create a personalized aggregation layer sitting on top of existing enterprise systems. People want to communicate and collaborate with others in the original context of specific business tasks. Accordingly, social technology should be embedded (or, at least, exposed) in the systems of record where decisions are made and business process activities are completed, not the other way around.
It was interesting to observe that the need to integrate with systems of record was primarily voiced by enterprise social software vendors exhibiting at the E2.0 Conference. Those vendors claimed that their customers are demanding these integrations, but the topic did not prominently appear in customer-led sessions or conversations. Only one system of record was universally identified as a critical integration point – Microsoft SharePoint. This observation seems to underscore deploying organizations' preference to communicate and collaborate directly in systems of record.
There was also much discussion of the need to integrate social into business processes themselves. A prominent theme from the E2.0 Conference was that enterprise social software can, and should, support specific business processes to make them more transparent and efficient. Presentations and vendor demos at the event revealed that the current generation of enterprise social software can effectively speed resolution of process exceptions through expertise location and engagement features. However, integration with normal business process activity is essentially non-existent in most enterprise social software offerings, and the vision of social process support remains unfulfilled.
The 2011 Enterprise 2.0 Conference Boston was a very well run event that provided attendees with a fairly clear picture of the current state of enterprise social practices and technologies. It is clear that practitioners are past experimenting with social concepts and technologies and have moved on to applying them in their organizations. However, it also clear that practitioners need more information on how to organize for, lead, and incent social business practices. Social technology adoption remains a key concern for the second wave of adopters.
Over the last 5 years, enterprise social software has matured and added functionality needed to build comprehensive, enterprise-ready systems of engagement. However, integration of that functionality into the flow of work – within traditional enterprise systems of record and business processes – has yet to be achieved. It will be interesting to see if that marriage of social and transactional systems can be accomplished. If it can, we will have created next-generation technology that supports a new, better way of working.

Life as a Writer, Disney World Cast Member, and
Big Sister through Foster Care & Adoption
Three Hour Nap
Welcome back to Taylor Talks!
Remember last night, when I mentioned how tired I've been? Well, that culminated in a three hour nap this afternoon from which I just couldn't wake myself up.
Alright, I was definitely more productive today than I was yesterday. I ate breakfast, jumped in the shower, got dressed and make-up/hair done, and was all ready to go out this morning. I had some stuff to take care of at the bank, and then I figured that by the time I had finished with all of that, it would be almost lunch time. Since our bank is near a Subway restaurant, I stopped to get a sandwich for my mom and me and then headed home.
That was my biggest mistake. The time it took for me to go home and eat lunch completely threw me off for the rest of the day. The longer I sat and relaxed, the more tired I became. I was trying so hard too... But after lunch I just sat around for a while playing games on my tablet and feeling completely unmotivated to go run the rest of my errands.
When it was time to pick up my sisters from school, I told my mom that I would take the ride with her. I haven't gone to pick them up in a while and figured since I wasn't doing anything else, I might as well go this afternoon. I felt like I could get myself motivated again, go to the school and then go home and switch to my own car and hit the road. By the time we got home with the kids, my sister would be home from school and she could take the ride with me. And I was totally planning to go through with all of that, until I got home.
I sat down on the edge of my bed to talk to my sister while she was putting stuff away from school. I filled her in on the plan and said that as soon as she was ready to go, we would head out. But suddenly I felt extremely tired again, so when she left the room to go do something, I just moved into a horizontal position and decided to close my eyes for a few minutes. My sister came back into the room and I said that I was going to set a timer for five minutes. Then the timer went off and I set it again. Then I set it for ten more minutes. Then before I knew it, I had stopped setting the timer and just let myself sleep. I obviously needed it, because the next thing I knew, it was no longer 4:00, but a little after 7:00 instead.
So much for all of my errands again, right? But my sister and I did run out to the grocery store after the kids were in bed, since I was planning on stopping there during the day and I didn't want to screw anyone else up for tomorrow. Having almond milk in the house for my little sister is a priority since she can't drink any other kinds of milk, and I knew that we didn't have anymore for tomorrow. So at least I did get a few things done today... just not quite everything that I thought I would accomplish.
Now even though I slept for a few hours, I'm surprisingly still ready for bed now. I just hope that tomorrow I can get myself up and ready to go quickly and get out to finish my other errands before exhaustion hits again! Wish me luck!
Your continued support means the world to me. From foster care to novels, and family to work experiences, I look forward to sharing more of my life with you each day. Don't hesitate to share your own stories with me or ask me questions about my life. Please don't forget to like and share my Facebook author page as well!

My family has been doing foster care since I was three years old. I'm the only biological child in my family, though I now have five permanent siblings. Having nineteen siblings over the course of my lifetime has been an incredible experience, and I'm hoping that by sharing some of the ups and downs of being the only bio kid in a foster family, other foster families or people looking into doing foster care will be able to learn a bit of what life can be like. I also like to share what life is like on my journey to becoming a published author, as well as where my schooling and career choice are taking me.

text: Depression Childhood Depression Print Types of Depression Commonly Found in Teens By Amy Morin, LCSW Updated November 19, 2019 Medically reviewed by Aron Janssen, MD on November 19, 2019 More in Depression Childhood Depression Causes Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment Types Suicide Depression is common during adolescence and it may look different in teens than adults. Teens often seem more irritable than sad when they're depressed. But, not all depression is created equal. The word depression is used to describe a variety of conditions. There are four main types of depression that commonly affect teenagers. Recognizing the signs and symptoms can be key to getting a teen treatment. And early intervention can often be key to successful treatment. 1. Adjustment Disorder With Depressed Mood An adjustment disorder occurs in response to a life event. Moving to a new school, the death of a loved one or dealing with a parents' divorce are examples of changes that can spur an adjustment disorder in teens. Adjustment disorders begin within a few months of the event and may last up to six months. If symptoms persist beyond six months, another diagnosis would be more appropriate. Although brief in nature, adjustment disorders can interfere with sleep, school work, and social functioning. Your teen may benefit from talk therapy to teach him new skills or help him cope with the stressful situation. 2. Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia) Persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia) is a low grade, chronic depression that lasts for more than a year. Teens with dysthymia are often irritable and they may have low energy, low self-esteem, and feelings of hopelessness. Their eating habits and sleeping patterns may also be disturbed. Frequently, dysthymia interferes with concentration and decision making. It's estimated that 4 out of every 100 teens meet the diagnostic criteria. Although dysthymia isn't as severe as major depression, the long duration can take a serious toll on a teen's life. It can interfere with learning, socialization, and overall functioning. Dysthymia also makes a teen more susceptible to other mood disorders later in life. Cognitive-behavioral therapy and medication are often very effective in treating dysthymia. 3. Bipolar Disorder Bipolar disorder is characterized by episodes of depression followed by periods of mania or hypomania (a less severe form of mania). Both the depressive and manic states will last anywhere from a couple of weeks to many months. Symptoms of mania include a reduced need for sleep, difficulty focusing, and a short-temper. During a manic episode, a teen is likely to talk fast, feel very happy or silly, and be willing to engage in risky behavior. Many teens engage in high-risk sexual behavior during a manic episode. Teens with bipolar disorder will likely experience significant impairment in their daily functioning. Their severe mood changes interfere with their education and friendships. Bipolar is treatable but not curable. Bipolar is usually best treated with a combination of medication and therapy. 4. Major Depression Major depression is the most serious form of depression. It is estimated that 8 percent of teens meet the criteria for major depression, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Younger children have about equal rates of depression based on gender. After puberty, however, girls are twice as likely to be diagnosed with depression. Symptoms of major depression include persistent sadness and irritability, talk about suicide, a lack of interest in enjoyable activities and frequent reports of physical aches and pains. Major depression can cause severe impairments at home and at school. Treatment usually involves therapy and may include medication. Treatment for Depression Unfortunately, many teens go undiagnosed and untreated. Often, adults don't recognize the signs of depression in young people. If you notice changes in your teen's mood or behavior that lasts longer than two weeks, schedule an appointment with the doctor. Express your concerns and describe the symptoms that you're seeing. Make it clear to your teen that you don't think she's weak or crazy. Instead, talk about a mental health issue the same way you would discuss a physical health problem. Explain that emotional problems need healing the same way physical health problems do. And sometimes, depression requires an exam and treatment beyond what you're able to do at home. Find Help With the 7 Best Online Resources for Depression Your child's physician may refer you to a psychotherapist or a psychiatrist for further assessment and treatment. Talk therapy, family therapy, group therapy, and medication may be treatment options. Treatment will be based on the type of depression your teen has and the severity of her symptoms.
