Alrighty, Madam President Baldie... Heheh, I'm loving that confident thumb up of your wee barefooted character! It seems that all you need is a candy bar to go shooting to the moon.
Well, I have all my four thumbs up for her. And of course, all my sixteen other fingers and toes crossed. All in the same time!!!

Fail is a word never to be associated with you or anything you do. I don't know if you truly recognize the enormity of sentiment; the depth of feeling and the height of elation that your illustrations evoke. I know you always downplay them as simple lines, but you know what? The simple lines of the great children's books illustrators are the ones that endure throughout the ages.They are not the overly inked drawings. Kate Greenaway will always trump the Dalziel Brothers. Your illustrations pack so much whallop. This is why so many of us love you because you stir and awaken within us this sleeping mirth. God save your models!!! Tsup! Tsup!!!

Did you retreive your head and give Deb back hers? (because I think you both might get confused after a while...hee hee!!!)
Yes, the monster is huge and is wearing me to a nub. I have been sewing nuts till my fingers won't work.
Ah that I could play chess....I am a dolt in that department. But give me a huge area and 500 fabrics and I am right at home.
(did you see Ces has me trying to crawl off the leaf to go smack someone? She does! She does!)
Okay, this Bald Baby is heading for a bubble bath and then a rest! There shall be no *full moon* tonight. ;D

Oh dear make that 67 comments - your eyeballs must be spinning - but it just tells you what a great artists you are and people just want to tell you that . Is good. Is great.
Now I cam over to complain that you made me laugh. I have teken the vow of no gigling and it is supposed to last till the next witches sabbath....
(Yes we spell gigling with only two gees - any more than ten gees makes the blood drain too far)
anway these lines are the culprit:
As a footnote, since we are talking about tongues, did you know I often find mine sticking out at all angles when I am deeply concentrated in a drawing? No, it is not blue."
Heh :)
Well I have some great images in my head.
Oh toxic apple seeds? Well they taste like cyanide to me actually. I have been eating them for about 30 years and they havent effeccccetttttteedd meeee at oar.
cheesels from Oz
no but really I think that in quantities of less than three for a 130 kilo man they are safe.
my magic word is 'mointed' - but I think you will be dissamointed if I try and use it in a sentence.

"I wanted to take a moment to let you know how pleased we have been with our online recruiting efforts through WeHire.ca.
As you know, the labor market in Alberta has been severely stressed for some time now and as maid service is a labor intensive business, we are certainly challenged to find and hire top-quality employees. We survive by constantly recruiting through several means and one of our most successful sources for attracting the best candidates is through WeHire.ca. We find that employees looking for work online are generally more serious about finding and keeping the right job for their needs and preferences.
The site is easy to navigate and within minutes I can post or revise a job description to ensure we are getting the message out in a timely and efficient manner. Best of all, the cost of recruiting on WeHire is well within our budget, and considerably below many of the other well known job sites.
Thanks for all your assistance over the last year in helping us reach many excellent candidates to ensure we are prepared to offer our customers the service they expect and deserve!"

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian spent part of Friday in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, cheering on husband Kanye West as he performed at the mammoth Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival.
Kardashian posted a photo on Instagram from the show, which she then tweeted out to her nearly 23 million followers. The tweet simply read "Yeezus" (the name of West's most recent album), with a hashtag of #outsidelands. West also mentioned from the stage that his superstar wife was at the festival — news that had the capacity crowd buzzing.
Kardashian also posted a scenic ocean shot on Instagram on Saturday, reading "Good Morning San Francisco."
Some fans were able to catch a glimpse of Kardashian at the festival, including at least one that posted a video on YouTube. The festival continues through Sunday, www.sfoutsidelands.com.

"Great new look!"

I bought three Blindsgalore 2" stained and I must say that they are a great purchase for the price. I would like to mention that I think that the track is too short but I guess that is what the manufacturer specifies.View this product

Texas family facility could signal more deportations
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials opened the Karnes County Residential Center in South Texas on Aug. 1st. The 532-bed facility is one of three in the USA designed to hold immigrant women and children.
KARNES COUNTY, Texas – Women with children caught crossing Texas' southern border illegally now have a freshly renovated facility awaiting them here. They'll call this place home while their immigration status is being reviewed.
The Karnes County Residential Center, about 50 miles southeast of San Antonio in rolling farmland, offers medical screenings, dorm-like bedrooms with flat-screen TVs, a cafeteria, a new soccer field, Internet access and refrigerators full of snacks.
The 532-bed center opened Friday to help with the crush of unaccompanied minors and families crossing the Texas border recently. More than 57,000 minors, mostly from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, have illegally crossed into the USA since October, more than double the number in the previous fiscal year.
Despite the glossy amenities and cartoon murals on the walls, the facility signals a subtle shift in immigration tactics by the federal government. Instead of releasing women and children apprehended at the border and requiring them to return at a later date -- which some did not do -- federal officials say more space to detain them could lead to increased deportations.
"The use of this facility is sending one very important message to families in Central America considering crossing into the United States: Do not risk the lives of your children. Do not risk your life," said Enrique Lucero, field office director with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who led a media tour of the facility Thursday.
"The U.S. border is not open to illegal immigration," Lucero said. "After your immediate detention and due process, there's every likelihood you'll be returned to your country."
Usually, women caught crossing illegally with children have often been released pending deportation hearings, just as unaccompanied children from countries other than Mexico and Canada are usually released. Many of the women with kids apprehended at the border this summer in South Texas, for example, were released at a bus station in McAllen.
Part of the reason for the quick releases was that federal agents had nowhere to detain them, Lucero said. For years, only one facility, in Leesport, Pa., held the recently arrived families. As the crisis boiled over this summer, federal officials opened another facility in Artesia, N.M., followed by the Karnes County center, bringing total capacity for detained families to more than 1,300 beds. More centers may be on the way.
"That could be a reason someone is not detained -- because there's nowhere to detain them," Lucero said. "That is changing with the opening of Artesia and the opening of this facility."
Facing criticism that President Obama is not taking a strong enough stand against undocumented immigrants, the White House in recent weeks signaled it plans to step up deportations. Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson reaffirmed that position in a statement Thursday.
"If you come here illegally, and don't have a legal basis to stay under our laws, we will send you back," he said. "The opening of [the Karnes County] facility represents our continued commitment to provide temporary facilities for adults with children while they undergo removal proceedings, and it is part of DHS' sustained and aggressive campaign to stem the tide of illegal migration from Central America."
Generally, detaining families presents a unique set of challenges that could trample the women's and children's legal rights to asylum, said Michelle Brané, director of the Migrant Rights and Justice Program at the Women's Refugee Commission. On-site mental health counselors and child care facilitators, which the Karnes County Center has, are essential for the well-being and legal rights of the families, she said. Also, no matter how much room they have to roam, children inside locked facilities often develop anger toward their parents, depression and weight loss, she said.
"You can make it look good, build a playground and paint murals on the wall. But it's complicated," Brané said. "There are all these complications that come from locking up families."
The Karnes County center will offer in-house medical staff and counseling, as well as day care for children while their moms are interviewed by immigration officials, Lucero said. Phone banks with names and numbers of local pro bono attorneys will be available.
The goal is to provide a "safe and humane environment" for the families while they await asylum proceedings and make sure they get due process under the law, Lucerno said, but the government won't hesitate to deport, either.
"If they're ordered removed," he said, "ICE will effect that removal."

Funniest/Most Insightful Comments Of The Week At Techdirt
from the votes-are-in deptYikes. Not only did we get a ton of traffic this week, but a lot more comments and a lot more votes on comments than usual. Keep it up! Coming in first on the "insightful" list was Todd responding to Jon Stewart's analysis of SOPA (just days after Stewart admitted he'd heard nothing about it). The fact that he got the details so quickly didn't go unnoticed:
I find it ironic (and also quite sad) that a comedian can figure out the core issue within two days and that congress has been working on this for two years and still hasn't gotten the point.This is why I think we all agree that we need more comedians in Congress (though, I guess, we tried that with Al Franken... and he's still supporting PIPA).
Coming in second is a long, but thorough, comment from Rubberpants, in which he breaks down the MPAA's statements concerning the protest on Wednesday:
People often say far more than they intend to simply by the words they choose. Even carefully crafted PR statements contain hidden insights.Phew. Onto the editor's choice. I don't always agree with Crosbie Fitch, but he makes a point worth thinking about here. Can copyright and the internet co-exist?
"Only days after"
The date of the blackouts was determined before the white-house released their statement. The use of the word "only" implies that having the timing of the blackout was somehow improper, unreasonable, or wrong.
"the White House and chief sponsors of the legislation"
Intentionally grouping the White House and chief sponsors together so that it is unclear who the actions and positions in the rest of the sentence are attributed to.
"responded to"
"Responded to" doesn't mean removed, fixed or addressed. Responded means anything other than silence, up to and including "screw you."
"to the major concern"
Note the singular of "concern." They acknowledge that there are other concerns, and that they did not respond to them.
"expressed by opponents"
By using the word "opponents", they reveal that they see this as a game. There are many other words they could have used there. The game theme keeps popping up later as well.
"and then called for all parties to work cooperatively together,"
They just finished saying that they see people who don't support the bill as their challengers in a game, that there are concerns they didn't respond to, and then somehow think we'll believe that they want all parties to "work cooperatively together." This is clearly a lie. The other things they've said indicate that they don't want that at all.
"some technology business interests"
"Some" is a pretty weak word to represent a quantity that tends to mean "not many." They want to minimize the number. Including the word "interests" evokes the term "special interests" and the negative connotations associated with it. (I find that particularly interesting as this is coming from an organization that's whole reason for being is to influence policy. Where as the "technology" businesses are actual businesses.)
"are resorting"
They use "resorting" to imply desperation or a last-ditch effort, that they believe the blackouts were a hasty reaction and not well thought out or carefully considered. That's not true. We know there was lengthy discussion, advanced planning, and careful coordination between many parties before hand, especially in the case of Wikipedia.
"to stunts"
You know, "stunts", like Evel Knievel jumping a flaming car or a seal balancing a ball on it's nose; implying hollow and pointless entertainment with no real purpose or effect. It's too soon to see all of the effects of this, but early indications are it's been quite effective.
"that punish their users"
This is an attempt to persuade people that encounter the blackout that the site isn't punishing the MPAA - it's punishing them. (Again, interesting coming from an organization that not only literally threatens to punish it's users every time they use their supporters products with a red warning about big punishments but has also actually punished it's users, including children and elderly people by suing them for enormous sums of money.)
"or turn them into their corporate pawns"
Again with the game metaphors. The MPAA doesn't produce or sell anything they simply follow the orders of the companies that fund them. Pawns. Furthermore, the whole point of the MPAA is to influence policy makers with campaign contributions and lucrative private-sector employment opportunities. Pawns again. But somehow, when someone is encouraged to contact the person elected to represent them, they're pawns.
"rather than coming to the table"
They are making clear here that they don't want the direction of the country being determined by the voice of the public, but by big players in a closed room sitting around a table making deals. First chess, and now poker.
"to find solutions"
"Solutions" plural. These bills are not the end, in other words.
"to a problem that all now seem to agree is very real and damaging."
We know that all do not agree. It's hard to tell a blatant lie through, it causes psychological discomfort. So, they had to add the word "seem" to soften the statement. The fact that they even put this phrase in there, shows that they know this isn't true. When someone is writing about drunk-driving, do they bother to write that "all now agree it's very real and damaging?" Of course not, everyone already agrees with that. Also, by trying to strengthen "real" with the word "very", they are betraying that they suspect it isn't real but they want us to think it is.
"It is an irresponsible response"
They are saying that the blackout was reckless and that someone just like you could get hurt by it. Classic appeal to fear.
"and a disservice to people who rely on them for information and use their services."
They are admitting that people "rely" on their opponents. If someone relies on you, then you are essential. I'm surprised by this and think it was a slip up on there part.
"It is also an abuse of power"
They are acknowledging that the Internet is powerful and they resent that.
"given the freedoms these companies enjoy in the marketplace today."
This is clearly a threat. They're saying that these companies have too much freedom and they can take it away. "Those are some nice freedoms you have there. It would be a shame if something were to happen to them."
"It's a dangerous and troubling development"
"Dangerous" is, again, an appeal to fear. The use of the word "development" tries to suggest that these actions are a surprise and were not provoked or precipitated by any events. It's an attempt to absolve themselves of any responsibility for the consequences of their actions.
"when the platforms that serve as gateways to information"
I'm surprised they would use the word "gateways" here. It's a common criticism that they are the "gatekeepers" of content and they just want to lock it up. Perhaps they are trying to imply that "those other guys are gatekeepers too, see!"
"intentionally skew the facts"
"Skew" is a pretty weak criticism, akin to "tilt" or "spin". They could have said, "they are lying", but they didn't because that of itself is a lie and would be too strong for comfort. It also would be too hard to fact check them on that - whereas "skew" could mean anything.
"to incite their users"
"incite" is clearly an homage to mob violence and implies coercion rather than persuasion. (Shouldn't they have said "induce" just for kicks and giggles?)
"in order to further their corporate interests."
They are saying, "See, we're not the only ones with corporate interests. Everyone is doing it so it's okay."
"A so-called "blackout" is yet another gimmick, albeit a dangerous one,"
We know it's called a blackout. Everyone is calling it a blackout. "So-called" is an attempt to weaken the term. "Yet another" is trying to imply that there were previous actions that were also "gimmicks." (Writing a letter to congress is a "gimmick?")
"designed to punish elected and administration officials"
This is a deflection of blame and criticism away from themselves to congress. Guess they're not true friends after all.
"who are working diligently"
They are pointing out that the congress who can't get anything done has a chance here to look like they're doing something and they want us to stop being so hard on them and just give them this chance to save their careers.
"to protect American jobs from foreign criminals."
Of course, "jobs" is the buzzword of the year so that's no surprise. The big old "American" and "foreign criminals" is an appeal to nationalism and patriotism. They went one step short of saying "terrorists." That might have worked ten years ago.
"It is our hope"
"Hope" here shows that they doubt this will work.
"that the White House and the Congress will call on those who intend to stage this "blackout" to stop the hyperbole and PR stunts"
Again with the deflection. "You guys tell them, we're too scared to."
"and engage in meaningful efforts to combat piracy."
They are implying that they are engaging in some efforts but those efforts are not meaningful. Notice they didn't say "effective." "Meaningful", implies moral righteousness which gels with their line that "piracy is illegal" and therefore must be stopped - no matter if it's actually harmful or the laws practical to enforce.
As we should know by now, either copyright has a future or the Internet has a future.It's an interesting point. The thing that computers do is copy stuff. They're the most powerful "infringement enablers and facilitators ever." Can the two things co-exist?
There is no future for both.
Stop kidding yourself that in the future some incredibly talented legislator will invent a magical copyright law that can prohibit the copying of published works without interfering with the people's cultural liberty.
Next up, we've got blaktron, explaining how, under the original definition of "piracy" SOPA and PIPA themselves are a form of piracy:
Piracy was originally defined as an aggressive attack against a shipping lane.On that note, we move over to the funny side of the ledger. The vote here was actually super close, but coming out on top was BeachBumCowboy responding to the news of the estate of Martin Luther King locking up his speeches by using IP laws:
Since the internet is the 'shipping lane' of the 21st century, and PIPA/SOPA attack its foundation, then both PIPA and SOPA would technically be acts of piracy.
Blows your mind doesnt it?
"Paid at last! Paid at last! thank God Almighty, we are paid at last!"For second place... oh wait.... for the first time ever (I think...) we actually have a tie for second place, so we'll list out both. First up, we've got an Anonymous Coward channeling one of our usual critics responding to the news of PIPA support falling apart:
The wild west days of the internet are over, it's just a matter of time until these bills pass. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to finish sticking my head in this sand that I keep inside my ass.What's amusing, of course, is that the guy -- a confessed lobbyist -- who did make a number comments that read exactly like that first sentence for most of last year, and who's still commenting on the site pretty much every day -- has not admitted yet that he was wrong.
The "second second" place comment was from :Lobo Santo, responding to the Supreme Court Justices discovering naked statues in their own chambers:
Bare breasts where once a symbol of honesty and openness, I personally think we need MORE honesty and openness in video(s) everywhere.And even though we already have three funny comments, because I just can't narrow it down, I'm giving you three more editor's choice comments this week. First up, Capitalist Lion Tamer, with his response to Lamar Smith's claim that SOPA was necessary to protect business and jobs "from foreign thieves who steal America's intellectual property..." Stealing intellectual property is a neat and misleading turn of phrase, so out of it we got this story:
Good thing the TSA is now patrolling the roads in conjunction with ICE. I can't count how many trucks loaded with American IP I've seen hightailing it to Mexico. One was stacked to the ceiling with pending patents. Another had nothing but 1's and 0's in it but still somehow managed to be over the weight limit.Next up we've got Chris Rhodes responding to the MPAA's insistence that the protests involving companies shutting down their own websites was "abuse." Rhodes found that either ironic or insane:
I saw an ICE agent dressed in a Donald Duck outfit (undercover?) patting down a semi driver for any extra Brothers Grimm stories he might have hidden on his person. I even saw Smith's former IT person sitting in the back of squad car while SWAT-geared officers searched his trunk for unlicensed photos. He claimed he had no idea the photos weren't in the public domain, at which point the ICE agent let out a huge guffaw, stating in a barely intelligible quack that "the public domain is nothing but a pirate myth."
But the worst thing I saw, the thing that chilled me right to my completely American bones, was a trailer full of nothing but empty hard drives, each one capable of housing huge tracts of intellectual property, and if one had the means to link them, could contain all of the mp3s at allofmp3.com with room to spare. The worst part, though? The hard drives were stamped "Made in China."
At that point I wept harder than any person with first world problems like "intellectual property theft" has ever wept, knowing that all of our hard-won IP would now be freely handled by third-world countries where reliable and affordable sources of food, heat and clean water were not much more than a hazy mirage on the very distant horizon.
But I knew right then and there that we were right: we had the power to legislate the entire world through a controlled internet. I knew we could help add to the amount of repression and censorship in the countries that were busy victimizing our way of life. I knew that, despite America being in the midst of a recession and attendant financial crises and that an internal occupation indicated great dissatisfaction with the status quo, despite our soldiers still being embroiled in unwinnable wars and our human rights swiftly eroding back home, despite an out-of-control debt and deficit, despite public approval of all levels of government having fallen to all-time lows, I knew in my heart of hearts that this legislation would still be first and foremost in the minds of our legislators and I KNEW that despite everything else, these industries MUST BE PROTECTED.
Taking down the websites of others = Not abuseAnd, finally, we've got Jupiterkansas with a positively brilliant NY Post headline version of Rupert Murdoch lashing out on Twitter after the world came out against SOPA/PIPA:
Taking down your own website = Abuse

Phone bill cramming -- by which scammers arrange to add small charges to phone bills and then collect the money -- has been going on for years.
But it still can be highly lucrative, according to the Federal Trade Commission.
The FTC has asked a federal court to shut down a Montana-based operation that the agency alleges reaped more than $70 million by adding charges ranging from about $10 to $25 to phone bills across the nation.
According to court documents, the group named in the case went by several company names -- including American eVoice and FoneRight -- and allegedly placed bogus charges for "voice mail services, electronic fax services or other noncall-related services" on the bills of unsuspecting consumers.
The FTC said Tuesday the operation has been going on since 2008, and often worked through third-party "billing aggregators" that passed along charges to phone companies.

Here is my experience with Social Security Disability and maybe this can help you.
1.) First thing you'll have to do is file and its probably best to do it online or over the phone instead of going to the Social Security Office if its as bad in your area as it is mine. They'll do a full application over the phone. Will take a few minutes but its better than sitting all day hurting then going back to deal with their b.s.
2.) Expect to get a denial letter. If I had to guess off the top of my head probably 98% get turned down right away. They hope you will quit and drop your appeal, so that they wont have to pay out. Dont get discouraged or down because even I was turned down with the same evidence the judge approved me with.
3.) As soon as you get your denial letter APPEAL IT, and more importantly GET A LAWYER! They cant charge you up front, but can get a set percentage of your backpay if you win the case. If you lose, you wont owe them a thing. The government sent their cut to my lawyer and the rest to me so you wont have to fool with it. Here in Alabama the percentage was 25%. Some states differ. Call your State Bar Association and they should be able to tell you what is the largest percentage they can charge because one tried to charge me 50%!!!
4.) Make sure your lawyer knows EVERY doctor that you have visited so he/she can get all the ammo you need for the appeal. My lawyer had files back to 2003 on me when I wasnt even disabled. The lawyer will ask you to sign waivers so he/she can get your medical files so make sure you sign the papers so he/she can get your case. You can even call your doctors on your own and get ALL your records if you wanted and wouldnt need the lawyer in case you wondered. Some people charge, some dont, and some will ask you to write a letter with your name and social to prove its you and you want the records.
5.) Stay on your lawyer so he/she doesnt forget about you, so they'll try to push the case through. I was told there was almost up to a year backlog and my lawyer was dead-on. So dont always think they are trying to screw you because of the long wait.
6.) You can even call your Senator and ask for help for free. They have people that will file on your behalf to help you get SSD/SSI. Mine was backed up 7-8 months so I went ahead with the lawyer. But most Senators have websites and a simple email will get the ball rolling, just make sure you add your full name and address in your email to the said Senator. The help they can give differs by state.
7.) Dont be crazy and go golfing and parasailing or something stupid like that because they can follow you around and try to discredit you. I'll admit I've done a stupid thing or two because I hate to sit around and do nothing. But if you're caught they can nail you for fraud and you'll have to pay everything back they've ever paid out. You know what your body can and cant handle and keep it at that.
8.) When court comes around dont be worried. My situation I was in a room with my lawyer and a clerk that handled the audio and the closed circuit t.v. with the judge who was 45 minutes West of me at the time. That helped me settle down because it is nerve racking no matter where you see the judge. I was asked by my judge what was wrong with me, what my life was like BEFORE I was disabled, how did I handle the transition, what pills I take a day, what life has been like since I became disabled, and things like that. You'll be nervous but its simple questions with simple answers. Just tell them the truth and most judges like it when you give an objective thought about yourself. I told him I tried to exercise and all of that and he took it into consideration.
9.) Dont always expect a judgement "at" the hearing. They actually have 90 days I think, but they can rule at anytime. You might get a bench ruling or you might have to wait the 90 days through the mail. You can appeal the ruling and go back to court as well.
10.) Most of all be patient! Its hard to do I know and its very easy to give up. You fight for something that is available to any American citizen. Dont feel embarrassed about filing. If you win, go to your tag office and they'll give you forms to send to your doctor to get Handicap cards and/or tags. The cards were free to me and I got 2 of them. The state just wants proof the doctors say you would have trouble walking long distances. Helps a ton, trust me. Never fail to let you lawyer or us anything so you can get help. Alot of us here have fought and won and some are STILL fighting sadly. Dont backdown and fight till the end. We'll always have your back as will your lawyer as he wants to be paid
Hope this can help some.

WANTED: vocal talent (lack of). If you'd like to feature in a weird online musical extravaganza then get in touch (ideally including the URL of a short mp3 demo, but that's not essential). I'm initially looking for 3 people to do strange interpretations of 3 specific TV themes I have in mind.

MA Essay Procedures and Requirements
REEI and the University Graduate School have strict guidelines for the submission, defense, and acceptance of the MA Essay. Students must comply with the following guidelines and timeline when preparing to defend the Essay. A timeline for student requirements follows. Click here for a list of Essays defended to date.
Graduate Student Guidelines:
The REEI MA Essay is normally written in the spring of the second year of graduate study while the student is enrolled in the R601 REEI Seminar course. It may be based on a previous seminar paper completed in a disciplinary course. The R601 course provides the student an opportunity for guidance in revising a seminar paper and expanding its focus to meet the requirements for the MA Essay. Students are advised to take in their first year of study at least one seminar course in which an extended research paper is required.
- The essay should not exceed 13,000 words (excluding footnotes, endnotes, bibliography, and tabular material).
- It must be double spaced and have 1" margins.
- It must be interdisciplinary in scope.
- For further style guidelines, please refer to a standard style manual, such as "The Chicago Manual of Style", Turabian, Kate L., "A Manual for Writers", the Modern Language Association (MLA) Style Sheet, or the American Psychological Association (APA) Style Sheet, and consult your advisor.
- It must use sources in the language of concentration as a defining element. The sources cannot be mere embellishment but must form part of the foundation on which the argument of the essay rests.
Are you collecting original data from non-public primary sources or interviewing people as a part of your research?
All university community members conducting original data collection using non-public primary sources must have their data collection plans reviewed by the International Review Board (IRB) through the Office of Research Administration. Non-public resources include data gathered through interviews, focus groups, ethnographic observation, and surveys. Meta-analysis of other people's data may be subject to review. Data collection that does not require IRB approval is all data in the public domain (economic reports and statistics, the national census, voting telling from the Central Election Commissions) and all data generated by coding publicly available information such as twitter, Facebook, blogs, newspapers, reports, public statements by politicians, films and literature, and other similar primary sources. All students planning to collect original data should review the regulations at the research administration website and check with the office to find out if their project requires IRB approval. This approval can take up to three months so that you should begin it early in your research process.
Student Responsibilities:
At the beginning of the semester in which the essay will be written:
- Select a faculty advisor. The advisor can be the R601 instructor, the instructor of the seminar course during which research was begun, or another member of the REEI faculty qualified to supervise work on the topic.
- Select two additional faculty members to read the paper and administer the master's essay defense. These two additional faculty members should represent disciplines or research approaches different from one another and from that of the essay advisor.
At least two months prior to intended graduation:
Fill out an application for an advanced degree form in the University Graduate School. The form will then be forwarded to the Advisor.
One month prior to intended defense date:
- The student must submit in writing to the REEI advisor and secretary the following information:
- Title of essay (including necessary punctuation and diacritical marks)
- Abstract of essay (not to exceed one page)
- Names of committee chair and committee members
- Intended date of defense
- Intended date of graduation
- Any subsequent changes to this information must be immediately reported to the REEI advisor and secretary.
- After receiving the above information, the director will give final approval of committee membership.
- Student should forward copies of the essay to all committee members for comments as early as possible.
- Student should confirm that committee members are familiar with the essay defense guidelines; deliver a copy of the guidelines to committee members who need it.
- Incorporate suggested revisions. Resubmit paper to the committee if significant changes are required. If difficulties are encountered in resolving conflicts in revisions suggested by the three committee members, discuss the matter with the director.
When ready to defend:
- Determine several possible days and times for the defense that will be convenient for all committee members (1 ½ hours should be scheduled, to allow ample time for discussion and evaluation). Do this as early as possible!
- Communicate possible dates and times to the REEI secretary at least fifteen days in advance of the defense. The secretary will reserve a room for the defense. The committee chair may prefer to reserve a room in his or her home department. If this is done, the REEI secretary must be notified.
- The advisor will prepare a defense cover sheet for the student's essay to be signed by all three committee members and the director after the essay is accepted. The advisor will forward this paperwork to the chair.
After successful completion of the oral defense:
Provide the REEI advisor a final copy of the essay, electronically or in print, unmarked and unbound. The title page should have the following format:
(toward top-center of page)
(toward bottom center of page)
In Partial Fulfillment for the Requirements of the Master of Arts Degree, (or enter which dual degree is appropriate: Master of Arts and Master of Business Administration, Master of Arts and Master of Library Science, Master of Arts and Master of Information Science, or Master of Arts and Master of Public Affairs)

A national award from the American Chemical Society (ACS) would be a significant career achievement for most chemistry professors. For Conrad Stanitski, it also brings a career full-circle -- and has deep emotional resonance.
Stanitski, a visiting scholar in F&M's Department of Chemistry who previously served as a visiting professor and administrator at the College, has won the 2013 George C. Pimentel Award in Chemical Education from the ACS. The honor is awarded each year for outstanding contributions to chemical education considered in its broadest meaning, including the training of professional chemists; the dissemination of reliable information about chemistry to prospective chemists, members of the profession, students in other fields, and the general public; and the integration of chemistry into the educational system.
Truman Schwartz, the DeWitt Wallace Professor Emeritus at Macalester College and 2007 winner of the Pimentel Award, nominated Stanitski for the honor. Schwartz served with Stanitski on numerous ACS committees and collaborated with him on "Chemistry in Context," an ACS-sponsored college textbook for non-science majors.
"Dr. Stanitski has made substantial contributions to all the areas of chemical education identified in the award's description: teaching, organization and administration, influential writing, instructional methodology, standards of instruction, educational research and public enlightenment," said Schwartz. "He is eminently qualified for this recognition."
The award is named for the late George Pimentel, an internationally recognized chemist who invented the chemical laser. Stanitski said the award is especially meaningful because he viewed Pimentel as a mentor from afar as he began his career in the 1960s as a high school chemistry teacher in Pennsylvania. And nearly a decade ago, Stanitski taught a workshop in Pimentel Hall at the University of California, Berkeley, an experience he said had a significant emotional effect on him.
"I remember thinking about George Pimentel as a bigger-than-life person," said Stanitski, who will receive the honor at the annual ACS national meeting in New Orleans in April. "He led an incredible doctoral and postdoctoral program at Berkeley but steadfastly taught general chemistry classes because of his passion for teaching. He also developed a high school chemistry curriculum that I used as I began my teaching career. Fast forward all these years, and you can't imagine what this award means to me."
Stanitski joins James Spencer, F&M's William G. and Elizabeth R. Simeral Emeritus Professor of Chemistry, as recipients of the Pimentel Award at the College.
"The Pimentel Award is a significant honor for both Conrad and the Department of Chemistry at F&M," said Associate Professor and Chair of Chemistry Jennifer Morford. "The award is the result of Conrad's outstanding contributions to chemical education in its broadest meaning."
Stanitski's long association with F&M began in 1984, when he joined the College for a one-year administrative fellowship through the American Council on Education (ACE) while he was a tenured professor at Randolph-Macon College. After the ACE fellowship, Stanitski remained at F&M until 1988 as executive assistant to President James Powell. He rejoined the College in 2005 as a visiting professor of chemistry following his retirement as distinguished emeritus professor and chemistry department chair at the University of Central Arkansas.
An inorganic chemist, Stanitski received numerous awards during his teaching career, including the Catalyst Award, a national honor from the Chemical Manufacturers Association for excellence in college chemistry teaching; the Gustav Ohaus-National Science Teachers Association Award for creative innovations in college science teaching; and the Visiting Scientist Award of the Western Connecticut ACS section. He has authored or co-authored more than 25 books, including chemistry textbooks for science majors, non-science majors and allied-health science students.
Through the years, Stanitski said he urged his students at F&M and elsewhere to find their passion and run with it.
"I always want students to find out who they are as individuals and also how they relate to the peoples of the world," Stanitski said. "They need to do that to take advantage of the opportunities F&M presents. Students need to find out what they do well and what they are passionate about. With the intersection of those two things, you have found your life's calling. I've had that good fortune as a professor."
Another passion of Stanitski's is music. He first visited F&M while he was a student at Bloomsburg University in northern Pennsylvania to play his clarinet and saxophone at fraternity parties. He still plays his clarinet as a member of the F&M Symphonic Wind Ensemble.
But Stanitski's passion for teaching is the driving force for his success in higher education.
"The art of teaching is uncovering material, not covering it," he said. "It's important for students to see the context of what they are learning."

Pictured: Brian Rogers was the Ivy League Rookie of the
Photo courtesy: David Silverman Photography
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- After helping the Harvard men's soccer team win the Ivy League title and reach the third round of the 2009 NCAA tournament, seniors Andre Akpan and Kwaku Nyamekye and freshman Brian Rogers were honored on the NSCAA All-Northeast Region team. Akpan and Nyamekye garnered spots on the first team, while Rogers was named to the third team.
Akpan, a finalist for the Hermann Trophy, presented to the nation's top collegiate player, is a three-time All-American, having been tabbed to the NSCAA All-America first team this fall. A native of Grand Prairie, Texas, Akpan stands as Harvard's all-time leading scorer with 127 points. He also ranks first in school history with 33 assists and is tied for first with 47 goals. Akpan, a forward, is a four-time All-Ivy League first-team choice and was the Ivy League Player of the Year this season. A nominee for Soccer News Net Player of the Year, Akpan was named to the Top Drawer Soccer National second team this season, after scoring 12 goals and handing out six assists for 30 points.
The Ivy League Rookie of the Year in 2006, Akpan led the Ivy League in goals and points this season and is a four-time NSCAA All-Northeast Region choice. He was also honored for his effort in the classroom, having been selected to the Academic All-Ivy League team.
Nyamekye, a defender from Geneva Switzerland, joined Akpan as the only unanimous choices to the All-Ivy League first team. Nyamekye, who is making his first appearance on the NSCAA All-Northeast Region first team after being selected to the third team in 2007 and 2008, is a four-time All-Ivy selection and was the Crimson's leader at defense. He started all 19 games this fall, helping Harvard surrender only 15 goals to opponents. Nyamekye also scored a goal in Harvard's 2-1 victory over Dartmouth Oct. 31, propelling the Crimson to first place in the Ancient Eight standings.
Rogers, who hails from Bronxville, N.Y., was honored as the Ivy League Rookie of the Year after ranking second on the Crimson with six goals and six assists for 18 points. Rogers, who also grabbed a spot on the All-Ivy second team, tallied three game-winning goals and was honored as the Ivy League Rookie of the Week three times. Rogers, a forward, began his career with a six-game point streak (Sept. 4-23) and netted a goal in three consecutive contests during that streak (Sept. 14-23).
Harvard completed its season with a 14-4-1 record and won the Ivy League with a 5-1-1 conference mark. The Crimson, which reached as high as No. 6 in the national polls, defeated Monmouth, 3-0, in the second round of the NCAA tournament Nov. 22, reaching the third round for the first time since 1987.
