Hereditary peerages
Since 1965 there have only been three hereditary peerages created for non-royals. Two of these are already extinct.
In 1983, Willie Whitelaw was created Viscount Whitelaw. He had no sons (although he did have four daughters) and so the peerage became extinct upon his death.
Also in 1983, George Thomas was created Viscount Tonypandy. The title was a bit of a joke: it had been his nickname since his youth. He had no children (he was gay, although he fought a losing battle to keep it secret all his life) and the title also became extinct upon his death.
And in 1984 Harold Macmillan was made Earl of Stockton and Viscount Macmillan. His titles were inherited by his grandson, who now holds them.

Family: Amiidae, Bowfins view all from this family
Description Bowfins are an order (Amiiformes, play /əˌmaɪ.ɨˈfɔrmiːz/) of primitive ray-finned fish. Only one species, the bowfin (Amia calva), of family Amiidae, survives today, although additional species in six families are known from Jurassic, Cretaceous, and Eocene fossils. The bowfin, the gar, and the sturgeons are among the few extant freshwater fish that were contemporaries of the dinosaurs.
Bowfins are found throughout eastern North America, typically in slow-moving backwaters, canals and ox-bow lakes. When the oxygen level is low (as often happens in still waters), the bowfin can rise to the surface and gulp air into its swim bladder, which is lined with blood vessels and can serve as a lung.
The most distinctive characteristic of the bowfin is its very long dorsal fin consisting of 145 to 250 rays, and running from mid-back to the base of the tail. The caudal fin is a single lobe, though heterocercal. They can grow up to 109 centimetres (43 in) in length, and weigh 9.75 kilograms (21.5 lb). Other noticeable features are the black "eye spot" usually found high on the caudal peduncle, and the presence of a gular plate. The gular plate is a bony plate located on the exterior of the lower jaw, between the two sides of the lower jaw bone.
The bowfin is an indiscriminate predator that readily preys on a broad variety of arthropod and vertebrate prey, from insects and crawfish to other fish and frogs.
The male bowfin exhibits extensive parental care. The male clears an area in the mud for the female to lay eggs in, and then fertilizes them. He hovers nearby and aggressively protects the eggs and the fry after they emerge.
Dimensions Up to 34" (86 cm); 21 1/2 lbs (9.8 kg).
Habitat Rivers & streams, Lakes & ponds.
Range Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Florida, Texas.

It's widely recognized that the only birth control method that's 100 percent effective in preventing sexually transmitted HIV is total abstinence. The next best choice is the male condom, but in many countries, women can't or won't ask their partners to use them. This is often due to cultural norms, lack of access to condoms, low user acceptability and compliance, and lack of education and empowerment among these countries' women.
With the exception of the female condom, no form of woman-controlled birth control helps prevent HIV infection. Unfortunately, the female condom is subject to many of the same objections and obstacles that discourage people from using the male condom.
Dr. Alfred Shihata, Founder of FemCap, Inc., has been investigating ways in which the FemCap birth control device might provide women with a new way of protecting themselves against HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. The FemCap may help reduce the transmission of STIs in two ways: 1) by covering the cervix and shielding its vulnerable receptor cells from pathogens. 2) by providing a delivery system for microbicides (currently under development) within the vagina.
Although these studies are still in the research stages, we're hopeful that the FemCap will prove to be a viable weapon in the war against HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.
FemCap, Inc. now offers the latest in feminine sanitary protection–the FemmyCycle. This new, reusable menstrual cup protects your clothes and the environment. Check it out at www.femmycycle.com

You are here
A creative theme always adds a little bit of extra pizzazz to a party, which was certainly true at the 5th Annual SOS Gala: Here's the News. The newspaper theme perfectly suited the traditionally black and white color-themed affair, and guests put their best foot forward in cocktail and black tie attire.
Partygoers were greeted with the cleverly named signature cocktail of the evening, the "Early Edition", and guests mingled about the beautiful space at Harborside East, pausing from conversations to peruse the silent auction.
The party offered guests a couple food stations, charmingly called the "Evening News in Sports" and the "International News in Dining." Both offered up delectables from Fork Catering, and "Evening News" featured BBQ sundaes, German hot mustard and cheddar fondue, and bite sized artichoke and potato pizzas. The "International News" served Moroccan salmon skewers, Belgian endive stuffed with crab Louis, steam fried Asian dumplings, and petite French Croquet Monsiers.
Everyone ate their full and then headed to the photo booth, which featured a newsprint backdrop for a sensational feel.
As the party wore on, more and more guests found themselves drawn to the fabulous sounds of live band Chairmen of the Board, crowding onto the dance floor to party the night away.
SOS: Here's the News benefited Share Our Suzy, a non-profit founded by and continued in honor of Suzy McGrane. The organization strives to allow those battling breast cancer to focus solely on recovery by assisting and helping alleviate financial stress. SOS raises money for wigs, prosthetics, childcare, gas cards, utility bill assistance, medication assistance, and many other services.

All functioins woork 12/22/2013
This wireless mouse fully works. The forward and back web page buttons on the left side work while browsing on the Internet without having to install any software (OS: Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit).
The dpi per the included information are 500 and 1,000, not the 2400 number seen in the advertising.
The sleep function to conserve battery life is aggressive. I find a left click always wakes the mouse up immediately.
Purchase 12/2/2013Mike from Lawrence, KS
Just what I needed works great

AGPtek Wireless-Mouse 9/15/2013
The mouse looks good, works fine, no troubles so far. And it priced right. I am glad that I found it.
Red mouse 7/28/2013
Great mouse, works well !
fasy shipping 7/24/2013
good transaction would buy again from this vendor
Very good 7/15/2013
Worth your money.
Poor directions for mouse 7/15/2013Craig from Davidson, NC
This AGPtek mouse works fine, but the one sheet directions leave something to be desired. They are written in "Chenglish" and talk more about how wonderful my life is going to be now that I have this mouse, instead of how the mouse works and what the buttons do.
Mouse 7/11/2013
Terrific product, great price. Easy setup and operation.
Good Deal for the $$ Paid 7/9/2013
The mouse came with nearly no instructions. What few there were appeared to be written by someone not fluent in English. The mouse has problems with smooth surfaces - moreso than other cordless mice I've used. Put it on a rougher surface and it's just fine.
Can't beat it. 7/8/2013teddy from Marine City, MI
Mouse came in faster time than expected and was a great value and in my opinion much more controllable than my Microsoft wireless mouse.
Well designed with good response time 7/8/2013Shawn from San Diego
I liked this mouse's ergonomic design and it responds well when we move the mouse.
Simple to use, good price 7/8/2013Dan Brown from Michigan
Small USB Adapter, nice & easy to use with my notebook.
AGPtek wireless mouse 7/8/2013R0ger from Texas
At the sale price of less than $10 it's hard to beat! Very responsive, even on the smooth surface that was giving my Microsoft optical mouse fits.
Very lightweight. Good for the price 7/8/2013
Very lightweight but good considering the low price. Takes AA battery (not supplied), not AAA as directions states.
Great value for price 7/8/2013
The item works great and it is a great value for the price.
Good value 7/8/2013Jim from Simsbury, CT
Works well and arrived quickly.
Works as promised 7/3/2013mjc from Florida
Inexpensive and works great. Nice speed.
Nice wireless mouse for the price. 7/2/2013Bill from Rock Hall, Maryland
Good little mouse, it works flawlessly. I just put in a aa cell battery, plugged the transceiver into the USB port and it worked. No drivers are needed, it uses the system drivers!
Mouse fine, directions not good 7/1/2013
The directions say there is a place to store the USB connection, but don't say that's where it is. At first I thought I didn't receive it, but finally found it. I felt dumb, but I didn't want to start taking it apart w/o knowing where it was.
Logitech Mouse 7/1/2013
Works well. Just wish it were a little heavier.
Great mouse 7/1/2013
The mouse worked perfectly. Very good response. Very satisfied with it.
AGPtek wireless mouse 7/1/2013Clark from Nogales, AZ
Excelent product...excelente service. Thanks.
Good for this cost 7/1/2013
I Personally liked it very much
A great mouse for the price 7/1/2013
I was nervous at buying this mouse for it was cheap but it is actually nicer than expected for the price. I am used to Logitech and for this price I would buy this mouse again. Also it isn't too cheaply made but not as nice as the Logitech but a quarter of the price.
Excellent 7/1/2013
Fast shipping! Great product!
Good mouse 7/1/2013
All went well with transaction. Good mouse.
Red Racer Mouse 5/16/2013SA from SA
Great price, great performance so far. Have had about 1 month. The device is FAST! Hence, the titled name. Didn't realize how fast it is until we had a chance to compare to the old 800 dpi mouse we have. On paper, that would seem to translate into a 3X greater factor, but it seems to be much faster. Lastly, so far it's very economical in power use. Still using the same battery.
Nice Mouse 5/14/2013
good movement, compact size, sensitivity is perfect
Works great 4/17/2013SH from College Station, TX
good price and works great, actually better than I expected.
Best deal $4$ 4/17/2013Mike from Las Vegas
What a steal! I was afraid they would be crappy items that probably didn't work but to my surprise, they perform great. Description did not tell you that they have built in battery save. Goes to sleep and wakes up by clicking the mouse. Reseling these to my clients and giving out as gifts.
works well 4/13/2013jr from slc, ut
no problems
Great for Games, Not for Work 4/11/2013
Mouse looks and feels great but has two glaring flaws:
1) The optical sensor doesn't work well on some surfaces. On my white lab desk at work it would not track at all until I put a textured mouse pad underneath it. Adjusting DPI did not help either. Very surprising considering my old Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse at work performs fine on the white desk without a mouse pad.
2) The mouse has too little friction to keep it from sliding on it's own on anything but an exactly level surface despite having a textured mouse pad underneath it. So if your keyboard and mouse are both on a lowered and inclined desk tray it will slide down on its own.
The construction is not as sturdy as it could be but for the price it's not expected and it's not enough to detract from its value.
That said, this mouse is great for home use and gaming...the styling and ergonomics are superb. Matches my red gaming laptop beautifully and the mini USB dongle helps to prevent clutter. The optical tracking is not a problem on our wood grain desk--it is very responsive and you can adjust the DPI to your liking.
So I'll be limiting this mouse to home and gaming use. My old but trusty Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse, however, outperforms this one at work by a long shot.
Great deal 4/11/2013
Mouse works great, really fast. I am well pleased. Now we will see how long it lasts.
Mighty Mouse 4/10/2013
Only older folks will understand headline. Anyway, great mouse. Looks great, feels comfortable in hand, very responsive. Perfect match for my red Acer 11.6.
Good Service 4/10/2013
After straightening out the problem with payment type, everything was great
A mouse without tail 4/10/2013
I have a Logitech and Microsoft mouse that looks very close to this one and this mouse works just as well as the more expensive brands. I especially like the small USB transmitter as it is unobtrusive and can be left plugged in when the computer is in its case. When not in use it can be stored in the body of the mouse.
Wireless-Mouse 4/10/2013Mary from Chesterfield, Michigan
Value was great, performance and ease of use deserves a (5)
wireless mouse 4/10/2013
The mouse worked in seconds after inserting the receiver in a USB port. Can't get much better than that. The mouse is a good size and shape and fit the hand well.
Excellent 4/10/2013
Good product, good price.
As Promised 4/10/2013
Easy setup. Good value for the price.
wireless mouse 2/21/2013mark from chicago il
good price, fast delivery. bought it for my laptop (older) and could not install, because I could not find a driver to go with laptop. used it on my pc, works great.
Wireless mouse 1/15/2013
good product/right price
Good product. 1/10/2013oc from Washington, DC
Works as required. No complaint.
Excellent procuct. 1/9/2013Bill Prater from Redkey, In
Excellent product, better than expected.
So easy & cheap, nobody should have a wired mouse 12/28/2012Jerry from Macomb, Mi
Under $15, plug the little antenna into USB & your done. Could not be easier. Works great.
Worst mouse I have used 12/27/2012
I bought this mouse because it's pushed into my inbox and it's cheap. But it turned out to be cheap for a reason. There is a lack of touch on the buttons. And it moves poorly over the table surface. I probably will throw it away and buy a better one with reputations of quality
Excellent quality, low price 12/23/2012
Excellent product! Works great without any problems to date. The only difference between this mouse and others I own: this one was less than 1/3 the price. Thanks
This is a wireless mouse, the signal can be reached for 10 meters, no need to install any drive, put it to a USB port, then you can easily use. It is more convenient than the the wire mouse. Because it throws off the curb of the range. As we known, the traditional optical mousse just has the 800DPI and the wireless mousse is 800DPI. What's more, they are not convenient and slow to use. Meanwhile, if that the computer does not have the mouse is a revolution, the scroll wheel of the mouse is a progress of human. So the optical mouse developed from 800DPI to 2400DPI is a great success. The 2.4G mouse will give you a more comfortable, convenient and exact effect. Would you like skiing? When you use it, you will feel the high speed. Buy it and enjoy it.

Cuban Rice & Beans
A Surprising Side or MealCuban Rice and Beans GOYA® style is comfort food with an exciting Latin flavor in just a few easy steps. We've done all the hard work, so you'll get the benefit of beans from a can that taste like you soaked them overnight and made the sauce from scratch!
A versatile favorite, our Cuban Rice and Beans recipe can accompany meat or poultry as a jazzy side—or serve it solo, so you can focus on the savory seasonings and plump, delicious red beans. Cuban Rice and Beans always hits the spot.

2 packets Sazón GOYA® without Annatto
1 packet Sazón GOYA® with Coriander and Annatto
1 can (15.5 oz.) GOYA® Small Red Beans
1˝ cups Golden CANILLA® Rice
˝ tsp. sugar
|Heat oil in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add tomato sauce, garlic, sofrito and sazon, cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

- Description
This is a photo of work done by Sean O'Meallie. The concept was to place chairs along the streets of Manitou Springs that represent the citizens of the community. The starkness of the empty chairs is striking. I want to thank Sean for his vision, all the volunteers for putting the chairs in place, the Business of Art Center for taking the lead on this project and Devon Klingman for assisting with Cas Foste in the photographic process, and the people of Manitou Springs!
This is the Worlds Largest photograph of an installation art piece to date! I hope you enjoy exploring the different elements of this photograph!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Prospecting for new spots (Nahant)
Please sign me up for a visit! Great schnauzer work Terry. Won't be long now.
RE:Prospecting for new spots (Nahant)
I had to revive this ol thread to give the scouting report. Went out to my wife's grandmothers today at Nahant as planned. It was a great surprise to find her raring to go. Great to see some fishing research bring her joy. This lady in her late 70s was pumped. She's trying to get the latest sticker on her car for me too, and had a couple of public access spots to show me (resident only).
She showed me the way to "40 Steps" beach out by East Point.
There is sticker parking there only (which I have!) It was low tide, and you would not believe the classic cliffs that were exposed. 10 to 20' high with the high water mark most of the way up. Incredible structure! Northeastern U. has their Marine Lab there which I knew. But what I didn't know is: once you park in the resident sticker lot you can walk through the Northeastern property out to East point proper.
All in all, this place looks incredible, and I'm told, low fishing pressure due to the private property thang. When the stripers come in I'm heading out there to catch some high tides. Be glad to take one at a time with me.
RE:Prospecting for new spots (Nahant)
I kept my boat in Hingham last summer, so I exited the inner harbor area via Hull Gut often. I fished it quite a bit, usually drifting on an outgoing tide and casting into the rock reef on the Peddocks island side, although sometimes I could actually position into a back-eddy, turn the motor off, and cast into the 4 knot current of the channel without really moving--pretty cool. I usually steer clear of the Hull side due to shore anglers but a great rip does set up there.
I have never taken any big fish there on the fly though, I must confess. Tons of small to medium sized fish. It gets an insane amount of boat traffic, and i have almost dinged the rocks a few times trying to get into the structure. Had some rookies in the boat one day during small craft warnings, and my buddie hooked a real nice fish on a pencil popper--broke off 20 lb. test. I heard a couple years ago somebody took a 50 lb. fish there in the middle of a hot day on a mackerel chunk--guess you never know.
Terry, I plan on shooting up to Nahant this year by boat to try the Southern facing shoreline, which looks pretty good on the chart--we will have to exchange our success and failures...
RE:Prospecting for new spots (Nahant)
Competely off the subject, but you wrote:
>when I got my 71 chevelle.....
That was my Very First Car, ask Al to tell you a story or two.
But getting back to the subject ... What about Hull Gut?
This location is on Frank D's. Top 100 list and my dad claimed his biggest fish at that spot (~60" in the late 50's).
RE:Prospecting for new spots (Nahant)
Just to complete this thread, I spent some time this weekend upgrading my wife's grandmothers computer in Nahant. She gave me the "anytime" on use of her car with Nahant sticker (at 5:00 in the morning) for some fishing. So my little research project is on for some new rock fishing sites this spring. Could be a fun venture. I'll need help.
RE:Prospecting for new spots (Nahant)
Been to Nahant many times for other reasons than fishing. If it's a hot spot (and I'm sure it is), it's a well-kept secret. As for access, I know of a couple of very small parking lots but don't know whether parking is allowed in them at night. But I've parked at both during the day without any hassles. Anyway, due to their space limitations, I'm not keen on revealing them publicly. One is obvious and another less so. Anyway, e-mail me if you need more clues
RE:Prospecting for new spots (Nahant)
Hmmm...pollock patterns. Well, although I know none of you personally, other than very briefly introducing myself to Juro at the Marlboro show, I will confide in you this secret. My number one pattern for big bass last year around Boston was a pollock pattern--all spawned by my taking a 29 lber on a live pollock one hot July afternoon. My pattern is a take off of a grocery fly, if i had a fancy scanner I'd post it. But, why bother when there is a pollock pattern in the Bob Veverka book that looks even better than mine. And who tied it? You guessed it, Ted Lewis (see above posts). Coincidence? Probably not.
The spun deerhair is really a great idea--with a fast sinking line off the cliffs you should be able to get some good depth which will then be offset by the neutral buoyancy of the fly between strips or on swings in the current. The two-toned spun hair also looks very cool (the top half is green and the bottom half white if you don't have the book).
I get ancy just thinking about dredging 9" pollock patterns around all the deep rock structure around greater Boston. I'd say you are on to something. Will trade pollock pattern for trip to Nahant
RE:Prospecting for new spots (Nahant)
Such entrepreneurial spirit. I guess this site needs at least some measure of commerce to keep the fires burning. It's just too much to expect someone to keep a large effort like this board running simply for the love of it. So I am stepping up to the plate and accepting it (not that it's up to me, I'm just coming out in support of it). I trust the level of give and take will remain high. I'm benefitting, for sure. As far as sales of reports, I'm from the show me state. Need to see how these things might materialize. Not looking for monetary gains really (unless it's huge and I need one of them new Reddington Reels). But the site will need it.
As for Nahant, well I at least have a parking spot out there on Little Nahant, possibly wheels too. Could be a fun project. I envision small Pollack near the rocks as I've seen in Rockport and the Isle of Shoals. Any Pollack patterns?
RE:Prospecting for new spots (Nahant)
This is a good thread, in fact I got an idea. Gotta get a light bulb icon... but that's not the idea.
Let's research the place and publish an article on it. We could do a skinny version on the site and sell the article to On the Water or something. Owners of a well known big site in New England have been talking about harvesting the insights of the members and making money for themselves from our offerings to their board. Can you imagine? What I am talking about here is pooling the insights of the members together and making money for the members!
Once we get good we could become a regular supplier for publishing houses... they don't have enough quality material. Wouldn't it be sweet if they came to us to get material every month instead of the usual begging by sportsmen to have large publications print our stories?
The key is to work together, the guild thing I mentioned. We can polish these reports up against each other's comments and we will also have a place to tease readers and publishers alike.
My hope is that those who get published could return a small percentage into the forum to keep it going, and to fund fun things. Just think if we get big enough we pay for a trip to Belize in February! Most likely it will cover some swanky flats shirts with our logo embroidered or something in 2000.
I have got several ideas like this to benefit members while building the forum mindshare on the world-wide web. Your ideas are welcome, this is in fact a forum and will always remain so.

RE:Prospecting for new spots (Nahant)
I think the issue is primarily one of access (read: parking).
I've fished with a guy who works at GE in Lynn, who has motorcycle parking access in somebody's driveway, and swears by the place as having great big fish potential. I mean, if I were a bass, and saw all those rocks.... I've toyed with the idea of putting the boat in somewhere around there, or even taking the kayak and launching from the causeway, but haven't made it reality yet. Maybe this year. Count me in if you want some company.
RE:Prospecting for new spots (Nahant)
Sounds like fun. I'll try and lay some groundwork . When the season arrives we'll see how things are then. Once some potential areas are located and car with Nahant sticker arranged (hee hee) I could envision (we do a lot of that these days)a weekday am trip like so:
first light- start fishing Nahant Hot Spot
8:00 am- quit fishing said hot spot
9:00 am- arrive at work on high tech highway with far away look in eyes
Or of course a weekend half day of fishin our butts off!
Good local stuff. Check it out:

RE:Prospecting for new spots (Nahant)
I spent some time fishing there as a kid while visiting friends of my dad's. The host was the doctor who fixed Tony Conigliaro's eye (anyone remember?)... nice place he had.
Anyway, when I got my 71 chevelle I went back and fished the causeway. Blues would run the bait right into the shoreline by that pub on the north facing edge. Did very well.
My friend Ed Griffin fishes there regularly at night, last time I heard he landed a 40" on an american black eel "fly". He does also love to flyfish. I'll ask him about his knowledge of Nahant and it's current potential as a flyfishing spot.
Even without asking, the area is a natural fish magnet and the structure is everywhere. When the bait is around it's sure to be a winner. The issue is access due to it's exclusiveness as a convenient locale for well-to-do Bostonians. I'd take any opportunity to fish from Nahant shores during season that I could get.
Let me know if you ever need a research assistant.
RE:Prospecting for new spots (Nahant)
Wow, thanks Jeff. Good stuff. I live a mere 25 mins from Nahant. Haven't done much cliff fishing. A little up Cape Ann.
I figured there was a good oppurtunity for stripering on Nahant by the looks of it. And there are many nooks and cranny's with nobody fishing! Hmmm....
RE:Prospecting for new spots (Nahant)
The guy to talk to would be Ted Lewis. He used to run the flyfishing dept. at Bob Smiths/Wilderness house in Boston, and now he is somewhere on the North Shore at a different shop. He lives, or lived, in Nahant and used to show me some incredible pictures of the bass fishing he did there. He has a page in the new bob Ververka book, and I suspect the picture of him with that big bass is from Nahant.
Don't know where you usually fish, but if it's the Cape and you're not used to cliff fishing, it is HIGHLY reccomended (I don't want to presume you haven't but that was how I read your post). i'll see if I can find out where Ted hides out these days.
Prospecting for new spots (Nahant)
Alyways wondered about this. My wifes grandmother has a small house out on Nahant, Ma. When we go to see her I notice lots of possible striper spots. I've poked around a bit and found many nice locales on the island that look fishy. I'm sure she would loan me her car which could get me access to a numner of spots. It just seems like a lot of cliff fishing, and I'm not sure. Anyone ever been out there or have any thoughts about new spot prospecting?

About the Program
The Master of Social Work is a 62-credit
In the foundation year, students take two direct practice courses, two policy and organizing courses, two human behavior courses, a research course, and a data analysis course.
In the advanced year, students choose a concentration: (1) clinical practice or (2) macro practice. Students also complete three required practice courses, three electives, one professional development course, and two advanced research courses. In both foundation and advanced years, students complete a required field internship. Many students opt to take electives during a Summer Session or early spring to lighten their course load in the final year of graduate study.
For information contact:
Mimi Mumm, LICSW, PhD
Professor of Social Work and
Director of Admissions
Rhode Island College
School of Social Work
600 Mt. Pleasant Avenue, BLDG. 9
Providence, RI 02908
phone 401 456-8176 fax 401 456-8620
Full-Time Program
To achieve full-time status in either year, a student must register for field instruction and at least three courses each semester. Students who are admitted full time are expected to complete the program in two years. This would require that students register for 15 credits in their first semester, 14 credits in their second, 17.5 credits in their third, and 15.5 credits in their fourth. Students are encouraged to take at least one summer or early spring course to ease the third semester workload
Part-Time Students
Applicants who intend to retain full-time employment while attending the M.S.W. program or who have significant responsibilities in other areas should apply to the part-time program. Admission requirements and procedures are the same as those for full-time study. Part-time students are normally expected to take a minimum of two courses during the academic year. A field placement will occur in a public or private nonprofit agency after the completion of 11 credit hours of course work. Degree requirements must be met within four years. At the discretion of the M.S.W. chair, students may switch from part-time to full-time study after completing the foundation year on a part-time basis.
Advanced Standing Students
Preference in admission to advanced standing is given to students who have completed a B.S.W. during the last five years from a program accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. All students accepted into this program are expected to enroll in and successfully complete an online summer preparatory course. Advanced standing students should expect to pay $375 to participate in this class.
Applicants who obtained a B.S.W. degree more than five years prior to their application year can still apply to the Advanced Standing Program.
Students who are granted admission to advanced standing are exempt from the foundation year, pending completion of comparable course work. Students in the program must complete 33 credit hours and may do so in one or two years.
All students, except those in the advanced standing program, are required to complete SWRK 500 (240 hours), 501 (240 hours), 600 (300 hours), and 601 (300 hours) for a total of 1,080 hours. For full-time and part-time students, this is accomplished over two academic years. Students in the advanced standing program complete SWRK 600 (300 hours) and 601 (300 hours) for a total of 600 hours. All students are expected to be available at least one day during the week for field experience. All students must take the first-year placement concurrently with SWRK 532 and 533. It is possible to do one year of fieldwork in the student's place of employment, provided that the placement meets all the criteria for supervision and placement settings. Plans to do a placement in a student's place of employment need to be discussed with and approved by the director of field education. For all continuing students, this approval must be obtained no later than April 1 for field placements to begin in September. For all incoming full-time students, this approval must be obtained no later than July 1 for placements to begin in September.

1300 Obligation to Offer Vacated Unit to Tenants (8/24/83)
1301 Determination of the Initial Rent for a Non-Comparable Replacement Unit Required to be Offered to Displaced Tenant Pursuant to Berkeley Municipal Code Section 13.76. 130.A.9e.
1310 All Evictions: Specificity of Good Cause in Notice and Complaint
1311 Alleging Compliance in Complaint
1312 Filing of Notices and Complaints with Rent Board
1313 Evictions under Berkeley Municipal Code Section 13.76.130A.2.
1380 Evictions for Occupancy by Landlord or Relative
1381 Evictions for Occupancy by Landlord, Lessor or Relative: Definition of Principal Residence
1382 Ownership Interests in Property
(A) When the landlord seeks in good faith to recover possession of a rental unit for his or her own use and occupancy as his or her principal residence, or for the use and occupancy as the principal residence of the landlord's child or parent, pursuant to Ordinance 13.a(9) and the person for whose use recovery of the unit is sought already occupies a unit on the same property parcel and said unit will become vacant as a result of the landlord's recovery of possession; the landlord shall accord the tenant(s) who will be displaced by said recovery of possession the right of first refusal to occupy the unit to be vacated by the landlord or the landlord's relative.
(B) Said offer shall be upon substantially the same terms and conditions as the existing rental agreement between the landlord and the tenant(s) and at a rent not in excess of the current lawful rent ceiling for the unit vacated by the landlord or the landlord's relative pursuant to the provisions of the Ordinance and the regulations of the Board.
(C) If the number of persons who may, under applicable state law or local ordinance, lawfully occupy the unit vacated by the landlord or landlord's relative is less than the number of persons currently occupying the unit for which recovery of possession is sought, the landlord may condition the offer of the vacated unit upon the tenant's agreement to reduce the number of occupants to the maximum lawful level. In such circumstances, the determination as to which tenants shall occupy the vacated unit and which shall find other housing shall be made by the tenants themselves. In the event that no agreement can be reached among the tenants, the landlord shall have no obligation to offer the vacated unit to any of the tenants.
[Effective Date: August 24, 1983. Revised 9/6/01 to remove the wording "1301-1309 (Reserved)" from the bottom of the page.]
(A) Purpose: A landlord seeking to recover possession of a rental unit pursuant to Berkeley Municipal Code section 13.76.130.A.9, for use and occupancy by the landlord or the landlord's spouse, child or parent, must offer the tenant occupying that unit ("the occupied unit") any other dwelling unit owned by the landlord in the City of Berkeley that is available for occupancy as a replacement rental unit. The offer must be made when the landlord first becomes aware of the availability of the unit. Unless it has been cited as unsafe for human habitation by a governmental agency, a dwelling unit is available for occupancy as a replacement unit if it is not the subject of a rental agreement at the time the tenant is served with notice terminating the tenant's tenancy or at any time thereafter until the earlier of the tenant's surrender of possession of the premises or the entry of a final judgment awarding possession of the premises to the landlord. The initial rent for the replacement unit shall be based on the current rent of the occupied unit with an adjustment based on differences in the replacement unit's condition, size, services, location, and other amenities.
(B) Procedure: Parties may agree on an initial rent for the replacement unit. If they do not agree, either party may file a petition requesting that the Rent Board determine the initial rent for the replacement unit. The petition shall be on a form approved by the Rent Board and shall be accompanied by (1) a completed Unit Comparison form on which the petitioner shall provide all requested information regarding the condition, size, services location and other amenities of both the occupied unit and the replacement unit and (2) any supporting evidence. The petition must be accompanied by proof that it has been served on the opposing party.
Upon receipt of the petition, the Rent Board shall send a blank Unit Comparison form to the opposing party who shall complete the form and file it with the Rent Board, along with any supporting evidence, within 10 days of the date it was mailed, which shall be clearly stated on an accompanying proof of service. A hearing shall be held on the petition in accordance with Regulation 1221 no later than 15 days from the date that the respondent's completed Unit Comparison form was filed with the Rent Board. The parties may present or may be required by the hearing examiner to provide evidence concerning the value differential of the condition, size, services, location, and other amenities of the two units. The proceedings under this regulation shall be conducted according to all provisions of Chapter 12, Subchapter B, not in conflict with a provision of this regulation.
(C) Standards: The initial rent for the replacement unit shall be the same rental rate per square foot as the rental rate of the occupied unit, with appropriate adjustments based on the fair and reasonable value of the differences, if any, in condition, size, services, location, and other amenities of the two units.
(D) Decision: Within 10 days following the close of the record, the hearing examiner shall issue a written decision containing findings of fact that specify and ascribe a value for each of the differences between the two units and determine the initial rent for the replacement unit. Notice of the hearing examiner's decision shall be mailed to all parties. The notice shall also state that any party aggrieved by the decision may appeal the decision to the full Rent Board by filing an appeal within 10 days of the date the decision was mailed. The last date for filing an appeal shall be clearly stated on the notice. Any appeal shall be given precedence over other pending appeals and shall be heard and decided as expeditiously as possible.
[Effective Date: September 6, 2001; amended subsection (A) on June 20, 2005 to change the term "rental unit" to "dwelling unit " add the second sentence and add from Unless….. to…..agency, to the third sentence.]
(A) The specific good cause and every element of that good cause as set forth in Section 13(A)(1) through (10) shall be stated in writing as part of the notice of termination or the notice to quit to the tenant.
(B) The notice of termination or notice to quit upon which an unlawful detainer or other possessory action is based shall be attached as an exhibit to the complaint filed in such action.
(C) A landlord's failure to specify good cause and every element of that good cause as set forth in Section 13(A)(1) through (10) of the Ordinance in the notice of termination or the notice to quit and in the complaint for possession shall be a defense to any action for possession of a rental unit covered by this Ordinance.
[Effective Date of Subsections (A) and (B): November 26, 1980; of Subsection (C): March 25, 1981; of Subsection (D): May 11, 2001; December 6, 2004 eliminated (D)]
[Original policy of subsections (A) and (B) adopted August 20, 1980, amended by rule adopted November 26, 1980]
(A) In any action to recover possession of a rental unit covered by the Ordinance, except an action to recover possession under subsections 13(a)(7) and 13(a)(8), a landlord shall allege in the complaint for possession substantial compliance with the implied warranty of habitability and compliance with Section 10 (Rent Ceiling) of the Ordinance for the rental unit which is the subject of the action to recover possession, and a landlord shall allege in the complaint for possession compliance with Section 8 (Rent Registration) of the Ordinance for all rental units in the property which contains the rental unit which is the subject of the action to recover possession.
(B) A landlord's failure to comply with the requirement of subsection A shall be a defense to any action for possession of a rental unit covered by the Ordinance.
[Effective Date: May 13, 1981.]
(A) Pursuant to Ordinance section13(d), landlords must file with the Board a copy of any notice of termination, notice to quit, and/or summons and complaint, within ten (10) days after the tenant has been served with such notice or summons and complaint. The purpose of this requirement is to provide the Board with information from which it may, among other things: (1) ensure compliance with the "good cause" provisions of Section 13(b) of the Ordinance; (2) determine what type of units are being removed from the rental housing stock, e.g., single family homes, condominiums, multi-unit buildings; (3) determine the reasons units are being removed from the rental market, e.g., owner occupancy, Ellis eviction, conversion to condominium, rehabilitation.
(B) A landlord's failure to file any notice of termination, notice to quit, and/or summons and complaint as set forth in Section 13(d) of the Ordinance shall be a defense to any action for possession of a rental unit covered by this Ordinance.
[Effective April 21, 1995]
(A) Background and Purpose. The Board seeks to clarify its long-standing policy that landlords may not evict tenants if they fail to adhere to a landlord's unilateral changes in terms of tenancy. While all unilateral changes in terms of tenancy are prohibited, this Regulation makes clear that landlords are not allowed to evict tenants for refusing to agree to or abide by a new prohibition on smoking in the rental unit imposed by the landlord pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1947.5 for tenancies that began prior to January 1, 2012.
(B) Prohibition on imposition of unilateral changes in terms of tenancy. A landlord may not unilaterally change the terms of tenancy under Civil Code Section 827 and then evict the tenant for violation of the changed term unless the tenant has expressly agreed to it. An express agreement must be in writing, signed by both parties, and the tenant must have knowingly consented to the change.
[Adopted on December 20, 2011.]
(A) The landlord shall specifically identify in writing in the notice of termination and in the complaint for unlawful detainer the name(s) and relationship(s) to the landlord of all individual(s) for whom the landlord seeks to recover possession of the property for occupancy as a principal residence. Failure to comply with this requirement shall constitute a defense to the eviction action and shall render the notice of termination legally invalid.
(B) Inclusion of the name(s) and relationship(s) of the person(s) for whom the landlord seeks to recover possession in the notice of termination and the complaint for possession shall be one element to be considered in the determination of whether or not the good faith requirement of Section 13(a)(9) has been met.
(C) If the individual(s), named in the notice of termination, for whom possession was recovered under Section 13(a)(9) occupies the rental unit as his/her/their principal place of residence for a period of less than thirty six (36) consecutive months following the date that the tenant vacated the unit, there shall be a reputable presumption that the eviction was not in good faith.
(D) The requirement that the landlord offer any non-comparable unit owned by the landlord to the tenant if a non-comparable unit becomes available before the recovery of possession of the tenant's unit is an essential element of an eviction for occupancy by the landlord or landlord's relative. A landlord's failure to offer an available non-comparable unit or a landlord's deliberately causing an otherwise available unit to be unfit for human habitation shall each constitute a defense to the eviction action. (This subparagraph is a clarification of existing law and does not constitute a change in the law.)

Watch Yuichiro "Jienotsu" Nagashima's Pro Wrestling Debut
- Written by Dave Walsh
Japan's kickboxing world is finally starting to kick back into gear it seems with It's Showtime Japan being announced and K-1 running their first show of the year next month. Of course, that show is at 63kg and the fighters who are loyal to K-1 are looking for work elsewhere. Jienotsu is not only one of the most interesting fighters in K-1's roster, but he tries to keep himself busy. In May he made his professional wrestling debut against former SHOOTO prospect turned pro wrestler Kohei Sato for Zero-One MAX. It is actually a very, very entertaining bout.

Love Sacramento?Book a flight
Want to know more?
Our knowledgeable agents love talking travel.
Call us at 1-855-735-6323.
Airport served by:
Sacramento International Airport (SMF)
When WestJet flies to this destination:
Year-round service
Discover Gold! Sacramento, California was one of the busiest and largest towns during the California Gold Rush in the mid-1800's. It was a major distribution point, commercial and agricultural centre and landing point for wagon trains, riverboats and the First Transcontinental Railroad. With the influx of people who joined the rush, it soon became a city and was incorporated in February of 1850.
Today, you can leave your mining equipment and pans at home because the kind of gold you'll discover now is in the family-friendly attractions, museums, parks and gardens. Here, your options for entertainment include Broadway musicals, local plays and festivals. Sacramento is a truly affordable destination as the hotels are generally well-priced and many tours and attractions are free to the public. Check out the California State Capitol building or sight-see in Old Sacramento. Even the Governor's Mansion State Historic Park – home to 13 of California's governors until Ronald Reagan in 1967 – has a very reasonable US$5 entry fee.
Step back to a time and see what California was like for a prospector during the Gold Rush between 1848 and 1855, in Old Sacramento. While you're there, stroll though any of the over 100 stores selling souvenirs, art, gifts, jewellery and home decor – all set in buildings from the Gold Rush era. Restaurants and museums are scattered between shops and a lovely walking path runs beside the Sacramento River.
One way to beat the heat in the summer is to head half an hour east to the American River for an adventure in white water rafting. Many well-established guides have full-day outings that include packed meals. If you choose to do a longer run with overnight stops along the way, you may find that every comfort of home is available in the camps, from chefs and happy-hour beverages to flush toilets and warm showers! The rafting season starts mid-May and runs through September.
WestJet is pleased to offer service to this destination through our code-share agreement with our great airline partners.

Is anybody going to be buying those simple 5-POA figures coming out this year? Both the Saga Legends $6 ones and potentially the $10 Mission Series ones, I mean.
I'm considering buying the Super Battle Droid, we haven't had an SBD that looked good ever. The one we have is ok if you don't mind the crap articulation and the worthless bendy legs in a very wide pose - I mind those things. At least with the SL kiddie line, there's no bendy legs or stupid wide-legged pose to ruin the figure, and the sculpting looks sharp, and the gun forearm is pre-rotated to the shooting pose.
I'm also considering getting the Jango Fett from the Mission Series 2-pack, that's a sharp-looking Jango and in the movies he does have that pose of just standing there looking composed and like he could strike at any second. I'm a little hesitant as the Battle Droid is the same junk figure we've suffered for too long now (the pull-apart one from the deluxe 3PO set), and Jango only comes with 1 blaster pistol.
Other than that, nothing's really likely to come home with me. The clone figure looks good but a tad wide for my tastes and I already have a billion of 'em. Vader looks alright in the showroom photos Steve took but the sculpt seems skinny, at the very least it's a definite 'wait until it's in the single-carded line' department.

I like tom dokkens approach to teaching place the best. multiple platforms and having the pup move from one to another using the place command and a hand gesture.
I like tom dokkens approach to teaching place the best. multiple platforms and having the pup move from one to another using the place command and a hand gesture.
Brian Daniels
Thunderroad's Cut 'Em All Shelby
Fowlmaster's Carolina Kid
I started my pup on "place" last week (she's 11 wks old) and she picked it up really fast. I used a plastic bow case first, and now I use a laundry basket flipped upside down. She actually figured out what "place" meant during the first session. It's amazing what a few pieces of kibble will do. lol
This is exactly why I teach it. I start young with place training. When you train alone, having the ability to do remote marks is very important. I think place training makes this much easier for a young dog to understand. I filmed a short video of this with one of the dogs this AM. The dang screen rotation lock was turned on, so the video came out sideways... sorry for that. Here it is, though:
-Barton Ramsey
I teach the FEMA dogs using a procedure similar to Tom's because it needs to be standardized for the volunteers in that program. If I had my way I would teach every directional cast to a single platform, then add multiple platforms to the set up.
Just me, I like to keep it simple early on.
Darrin Greene
I always felt sit meant sit and wasn't sure where or why place would make a difference or why it is needed, but I am starting to see where it might come in handy taught as a separate command. I think I am going to add this to my training. Thanks for the all the good comments.
Some Spaniel trainers use a variation of this concept to teach the dog to quarter, placing a white bucket next to the place boards so the dog has to run around the bucket. The place board is phased out first, then the buckets are removed and the dog still runs the taught pattern.
Place board training is a very usefull skill for a hunting dog.
"The bird hunter watches only the dog, and always knows where the dog is, whether or not visible at the moment. The dog nose is the bird hunters eye. Many hunters who carry a shotgun in season have never learned to watch the dog, or interpret his reaction to scent."

I have a black lab named Nelli that is about a year and three months old. She is a very smart dog as most are and I have been working with her since she was about six months old. However, my inexperience and lack of knowledge created some bad habits.
Nelli is one of the most energetic and athletic dogs I have ever seen. She marks perfectly, has to be in the water, and will retrieve anything ON HER NAME. I can also shoot around her without any problems.
Here are her/my problems.
-She retrieves, but when returning will run circles around me before returning to my side (like its a game). Also, if there is water near, on dry retrieves she makes a point to jump into the water before returning. How can I fix this??
-She is very anxious and just wants to go go go!! How do I calm her down without taking away from her desire??
-"HERE" is my command for her to sit by my left leg, which she does well, however she jumps and turns way up in the air in the process.. How do I fix that?
This may sound like a bunch of hooplah, I just do not know where to start!! Please Help!
