Music is a great healer and can really take you to another place, so for those of you who have had a stressful week chill out with us this evening.
We will be thinking of a very good friend of ours tonight who is very ill in hospital. Corin has in fact written a new tune just for this evening and he has dedicated it to him, we reveal the title during the show.

This is a wonderful clip of Ray doing what he did best
January 1st, 1967 - Los Angeles, KTLA-TV channel 5. This was their first tv appearance
We are very sad to hear that Ray Manzarek has passed on. Corin has been very influenced by the Doors and we are both fans of their music. Also sorry to hear he died of Cancer. You made some groovy music Ray.

I'd be there if I wasn't running a marathon in Raleigh the next day. Opening night is a great time. This year I guess I'll just have to watch from home.
Who's gonna be in the house Nov 1st?!
I'll be there!
I'd be there if I wasn't running a marathon in Raleigh the next day. Opening night is a great time. This year I guess I'll just have to watch from home.
I'll be there. I have made it to all of the openers since they started and this is the one I'm most excited about.
I'll be there as well.
Anybody up for a pre-game beer?
This'll be my first opening night...I'm more excited than Sean May at a CC's
I won't be there opening night, but I did pick up tickets today these 3 games.
and the WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?! this 3rd set of tickets is supposed to be the CAVS but they gave me tickets to the OK City Sonics!!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess I'll be going back to the ticket office tomorrow to get that fixed. Lord knows I have no desire to see the Sonics.
It actually says Oklahoma City Sonics on the tickets? That's hilarious since they are now officially the Thunder!!!!!! Dam dam daaaaam bahaha
Anyway, I'll definitely be there.
Yeah I will be there, last year I was 1 row off the floor, so going to call the guys and see if i can get a few seats just as good. Excited to see how well these guys mesh and play in the preseason and hope none of our guys get injured like other teams.
hell Antwan Jameson hurt now, and no Agent Zero = washington down a few spots, and Miami didn't seem to play that great. So things are looking up!!
Most definitely will be there, barring unforeseen circumstances. Getting damn well pumped about it. If I can get there early enough, I'm up for a pre-game salute of suds for the coming successful season! Hopefully they'll get the season ticket printing fiasco fixed so I'll actually have some tickets, but other than that, I'm there! Don't even know who we play, but it's on!!!!!

Join us monthly in lively discussions of every dimension of science from Biology to Physics thought the medium of scientific papers, book excerpts and/or internet discussions. Discussions of the history of science or the philosophy of science or current discoveries and applications.
There are no upcoming Meetups.
We like reading compelling books on feats of science, technology and engineering derring-do! If you love reading about the amazing lives of radical inventors, laboratory wizards, eccentric investigators, audacious builders and their triumphs and tragedies, then you've found your club! We'll pick out a book, devour it cover-to-cover, and then meetup to discuss what we really liked about it. We'll pick different meeting places in or around Chicago, so everyone's welcome!
Discourse cheers us to companionable reflection. Such reflection neither parades polemical opinions nor does it tolerate complaisant agreement. The sail of thinking keeps trimmed hard to the wind of the matter. -- from "On the Experience of Thinking," Heidegger "Philosophy is not a theory but an activity." -- from "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus," Wittgenstein Join us soon for friendship, cooperative discourse and mental exercise, all organized around an interest in our own engagements …
This is a group for people interested in Steampunk with some passion for science fiction, history, and sane, intelligent conversation. We are kindred spirits with an interest in alternate historical imaginings. We will watch movies, read books, listen to Steampunk music, talk ideas, and find places, primarily in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, to dress as and explore our characters. Inclusive, welcoming, but not kinky. We are travelers of time and the imagination.
I'm a 30-something guy who likes to read mostly nonfiction. If you're a nonfiction reader like me this is for you! I like history, science, sports, true crime and travel narratives, but am willing to be flexible.
There are no upcoming Meetups.
The objective of the Big Picture Book Club is focus on and discuss books addressing the big questions of human history, science and technology, social and political issues, the future, and how we, as individuals, can flourish and even make a difference in the Big Picture.

Today, a new report out from the Harvard Kennedy School confirmed what we already know: Maryland students continue to lead the nation.
According to its report, Maryland led the country in the growth in student achievement between 1992 and 2011.
Maryland's economy is an Innovation Economy and we know that investments that improve the education of our children are investments that expand economic opportunities for our entire State. That's why even as we've made record spending cuts, we have chosen together to make record investments in public education and school construction.
We've made real progress together:
- For the past four years in a row, Education Week has named Maryland's public schools #1 in the nation.
- This year, we achieved the highest-ever MSA scores in elementary reading and math.
- This year, we achieved the highest-ever middle school math scores.
- Today, more than 76% of our middle school students score proficient in math—up from 39% in 2003.
- Our high school students continue to lead the nation with the highest Advanced Placement Scores.
- Working together, since 2007, we've closed the achievement gaps between African-American and white students by 23% and between Hispanic and white students by 38%.
Thank you to all of the educators, parents, administrators, support staff and faculty who work every day to help our children succeed and become the leaders of tomorrow.
And of course, a special thank you to all of our students who continue to make us proud!
Martin O'Malley is the governor of Maryland. He writes a regular blog for his official website.
5:52 pm on Monday, July 16, 2012
Hold on there Marty - did you read pages 12 and 13 of the report at http://www.mhec.state.md.us/publications/research/AnnualPublications/2011DataBook.pdf
It clearly states that over half of the grads heading off to state universities require remedial course work. Hmmmmm - how can that be. Also - NAEP scores have remained flat. That's the test issued by the Feds to validate state testing results. Scores in MD have increased because kids have become familiar with the test, teachers teach specifically to the test, and the state is free to manipulate the scale scores each year to show whatever progress they want. Anyone who has kids in public school or is a public school teacher knows this is a bogus report. Just another example of MOM reaching for any feather he can put in his cap. Come on Marty - publish ALL ofthe relevant facts and data somthe public can maketheir own decision. Bythe way,if the public systems are so great, why is his youngest in private school? He used to attend Immaculate Conception in Towson but I guess having him in a Catholic school was too conservative for his constituents to handle.
10:31 am on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
Huh? Did YOU read pages 12 and 13? Remediation is extremely common and extremely subjective depending on the institution (some states care, others don't). I don't understand why you think having high standards for in and out of state students enrolled in our public universities would be a negative. The expectation that BA students also be well versed in math and BS students also be well versed in English is great.
I'm not even going to address your obsession with MOM's kids. What? One of them attends a private school? Who the eff cares. You haven't a clue why that would be the case. Get a life.
6:24 pm on Monday, July 16, 2012
Just another propaganda piece produced so that the democrats can keep owemally's name in the news. They do it banking on the notion that most readers won't take the time to actually read the sources. If you go to the cited source (Harvard Kennedy School), towards the end the author admits that overall, American school performance isn't really all that good compared to the rest of the world. In fact it's flat or lagging. And they also go on to say that spending more on edcucation doesn't guarentee better performance. So, the only thing to gain from the article is that overall, Maryland's meager gains aren't anything to write home about. As an aside, I'm curious as to what the results would show if Baltimore City was not counted in the report.
10:20 am on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
??? Your response has nothing to do with anything. I don't care how schools in Alabama and Louisiana compare to the rest of the world - we know those places suck. I guess you just don't have anything to whine about so this is as weak a response you can come up with? You realize you could just close your mouth for once, right? God forbid you not bash the state for a whole day.
Karl Schuub

Fact is this isn't about Jimmy Carter or Michele Obama - it's about return on investment for a college degree largely subsidized by taxpayers in practical and productive return - hands down science, math, engineering and physics wins every time.
7:25 pm on Monday, July 16, 2012
Haven't you closed the gap on white students by eliminating in school spots for them govenor? you have persecuted the middle class your policy of holding tuition down was reached by eliminating in state pots for four years . why can't a white middle class child get a fair shake at Maryland colleges?
H.R. Pufnstuf
7:44 pm on Monday, July 16, 2012
Maryland is one of the richest states, so of course we have the best public schools. And when these kids graduate, they will go to publicly subsidized universities where most of them will get utterly useless liberal arts degrees in things like sociology, psychology, communications, philosophy, women's studies or other such nonsense that does not translate into workplace productivity. They will then be $50k in debt and have no job prospects. They will then camp out on wall street and blame the rich for their (the students') stupidity.
We spend too much on education (especially at the university level). So much so that education is no longer an investment, it's simply consumption.
Chet Brewer
6:44 am on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
Guess you haven't kept track of how much the states actually subsidize the universities any more. it goes down every year that's the reason there is $50K of debt not because the kids are buying Latte's at starbucks. Guess you just think all the kids should be serfs then, correct? The other point you made is true, there is a direct relationship between spending and school achievement,
Brook Hubbard
8:39 am on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
Sociology and Psychology are not "liberal arts"... you receive Bachelors and Masters in ~Science~. The former is a bit harder to use, though, as with many non-physical sciences; jobs are limited (other than teachers) and competition is high. The latter, however, has seen an increase in usefulness as people demand more and more therapists and counselors.
The issue is not all these people going into debt for degrees they may never use or need. The issue is that universities are run as businesses, more concerned with profit and graduation rate than the students and their futures. If there was more of a concentrate on life preparation, job placement, and student well-being then perhaps earning a degree would lead to more than ridiculous debt.

Jason - very, very disingenuous list because the bulk of those folks went on to get masters degrees in something other than basic weaving or womens studies. It is true that many, many liberal arts degrees are nearly useless...unless you teach the same nearly useless subject to someone else. The idea that the taxpayers subsidize to the same percentage both an engineer and a drama major certainly doesn't help us realize the same return on investment - I can assure you we're far more likely to get our money's worth from the engineer.
Jason Humm
10:57 am on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
Karl: my point is that many people who shape our lives havd a very strong liberal arts foundation. I don't find that to be a coincidence. While some of these folks go on to get more specialized degrees, it is their liberal arts education that properly prepares them for it.
Brook Hubbard
11:12 am on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
I would note that having a Bachelor of Arts is ~not~ the same thing as having a "Liberal Arts" degree. Many degrees are offered as either BA or BS (or even both) depending on the university. Both have the same core classes, but the supporting classes might have slightly different focuses.
As an example, the University of Maryland BA and BS Psychology programs are the same, except the BS requires additional courses in Mathematics and Science.
H.R. Pufnstuf
11:28 am on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
LOL at Jason Hume's list. Most of those people are politicians! He even has Michelle Obama listed as the all important to our GDP "first lady". Haha.
List the products you plan to spend money on during the next year. Then list the majors that kids are taking up. There is little overlap between the demand and production side. STEM is where it's at. Anything else is a huge waste of time and money.

M. Sullivan
11:41 am on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
Jason, I guarantee most of the people in your list went on to law school. They needed an easy major to get the high GPA to get into Law school. In general, an Engineering 4 year degree is worth way more than a Masters or Doctorate in liberal arts, unless, of course, you get a job as an overpaid university professor.
11:44 am on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
"List the products you plan to spend money on during the next year. Then list the majors that kids are taking up. There is little overlap between the demand and production side."
BECAUSE WE AREN'T A 3RD WORLD COUNTRY. NOR IS IT THE 19TH CENTURY. Just because people with liberal arts degrees aren't in a Chinese factory putting together plastic crap doesn't mean they aren't contributing to society. I honestly can't believe you're 150+ years behind modern society. How freakin old are you?
Jason Humm
11:51 am on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
Ohai: my list is to refute your claim that liberal arts degrees are worthless. While it may classify a few as "politicians", I still bet that Kofi Annan, Obama, JFK, and the Clintons did more for humanity with their "worthless" degrees than the vast majority of of the so-called hard science degrees.
And maybe you overlooked the few CEOs on that list.
Karl Schuub
11:56 am on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
If the conversation surrounds which is a more valuable family of majors - something technical and skill based, or liberal arts...hands down it's the more technical degree, both in return to the taxpayers for thier investment (to include future tax revenues to the more gainfully employed graduate), and in terms of personal return - engineers make more money out of school because they leave school able to actually do something. It's always seemed to me that the liberal arts crowd loves to slam engineers and math majors because in reality they couldn't pass the most basic math classes required for the tech majors. It's driven by jealousy and a bit petty to suggest tech majors aren't creative - usually they're far more creative because fact is they're mostly smarter than liberal arts majors. It just might be that people don't so much chose liberal arts but that they end up in liberal arts because they've been weeded out of the smart classes long, long ago.

David, politicians from both parties are worthless. They are parasites who produce nothing and live at the expense of everyone else. People with worthless degrees do worthless things, especially if their parents have money and are plugged into the political pipeline. Btw, you said yourself that only 20% of CEOs have liberal arts degrees. That only further bolsters my claim. Progress is made by those with STEM degrees.
12:11 pm on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
LOL. PLEASE keep the comments coming, Ohai. They're fantastic. Those darn U.S. presidents and their bumming around. If only they got a math degree instead they could have gotten a real job and made their parents proud.

Jag, you are shockingly clueless. We are not living in the 1800's, which is all the more reason that we need people majoring in science, tech, engineering and math. Trust me, we are on the way to becoming a third world country if we don't start producing things. We cannot remain at the top if our citizens major in history, communications, and the like.

Ohai: what do you mean by "progress"? Are you dismissing the social progress that Dr. King helped achieve?
Karl: similarly, how do you define "valuable"? I assume you're talking simple dollars and cents and not the broader value that liberal arts majors add to society.
No doubt that this is an argument that has been going on for years and years. We liberal arts folks see the value because we hold a different sense of the world. But this was a fun and healthy debate that is still relevant today as it will be for generations.

Jason Humm, the biggest problem is that people in your list such as the Obamas, Kofi Annan, Jerry Brown and George Soros want to, as you said, "shape our lives". Some of us have no interest in having our lives shaped by them in any way.
The three active CEOs on your list are all at companies that are on a downward spiral. Coincidence?
And I agree that several on the list probably got their BA just to get a high GPA to go to grad school.
H.R. Pufnstuf

This isn't about Jimmy Carter, Michelle Obama, or Dr. King. You can't point to one person and say "that guy majored in X so an X degree is valuable (or worthless)". If you want an ecomony to grow, you want people who are STEM majors. If we are going to subsidize education, it is a much better payback to taxpayers to subsidize STEM and not liberal arts degrees. I am not sorry if liberal arts majors are offended by that notion.

The best is when you train people to do both - think through a multicultural lens and understand complexity and be able to problem-solve productively. I think we should have more faith in the ability of children to learn through osmosis and expose them to as many challenges as possible from early childhood through high school. When they go on to university, they should be ready to choose a career and work on projects that directly address world problems. We need to restructure universities, starting from the bachelor's level, to incorporate more practical problem-solving. We can increase productivity by exposing kids to complex ideas at a young age and raising our expectations of what they can understand.
Paul Amirault
12:48 pm on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
Ohai, you need to do better than just make statements. We all have anecdotal stories to tell. I know engineers that can't think or have any understanding of the huge complexities of human interaction. Your presumption that we need more STEM education is ludicrous. We need more leaders, STEM only graduates are followers. It must be a broad education. Nerds are useful, but they tend to follow not lead, in my opinion. Nerds out there I love you, please don't blow up my computer ;-))

So, if a single mother wanted to go back and get her degree to support her children, you'd recommend a history major? Or computer science?
Paul Amirault
1:24 pm on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
I would recommend she go do whatever she is good doing. Aptitude tests are useful. She may only be ever qualified to pick up garbage. You can't teach computer science to everyone. Most can't do it. Most can't do advanced math & science. That's why GT classes are limited to those that can and want to do it.
1:31 pm on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
I'm pretty sure everyone knows a computer science major generally makes more money than a history major (that's what you're getting at, correct?). What the heck does that have to do with the value of different education paths? If the single mother wanted to make an actual difference in the world, it's entirely likely the history background is more valuable. It's remarkable how embarrassingly arrogant you are. You don't need a math degree to be valuable to society. I can't believe I actually just had to type that. What on earth is wrong with your brain chemistry for you to need that explained to you? If only there were more scientist in the world we might be able to figure out the answer...oh well. Darn lazy people with their fake educations.
Phil Dirt
2:02 pm on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
Computer science majors don't "make an actual difference in the world"? They sure do in my world, which is the real one. Of course, my world isn't the one with vague touchy-feely descriptions like "actual difference in the world" and "valuable to society". It's the one where people create things and build things (as you would say, things that make an actual difference in the world).

Those who built nuclear weapons were followers, those who built chemical weapons were followers, those who built biological weapons were followers. That does not mean the leaders were wise, but how smart were the STEM folks?
3:46 pm on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
Phil Dirt, maybe if you had taken a couple more English classes in college you'd be literate enough to actually read what I said instead of chopping down straw men all day. No one said computer science majors can't make a real impact on the world. Of course they can. Just like of course a history major can. For someone to say or imply otherwise is hilarious.

Hey brah, news flash, your salary has exactly zero correlation with how much you're contributing to society. I can name dozens of professions that contribute much more to society than my wealthy butt. Plenty of those meaningful professions have nothing to do with science and math - believe it or not!

Oh, wait, now your two completely psychotic assumptions about people's worth are flying in the face of each other. Whatever will you do? Come up with a third reason why everyone in the world other than you is useless, I'm sure.

Paul, you are a little off on the building weapons issue. The direction of the military is a complex one and involves decisions at the top of both the civilian and military side.
To insinuate the builders were followers is like you failing to pay your taxes, obey traffic laws and follow the rules set forth by the government.
You might be a follower but a jailed one. Nuclear weapons keeps this country safe. As they say a good offense is a strong defense.
Paul Amirault
2:59 pm on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
Hi Buzz, I disagree with you 100% on this one. Some of those who built these weapons questioned what they were doing. Most of these scientists and engineers did exactly what they were told. That by definition is a follower.
3:39 pm on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
So basically you only take issue with "Followers" that build WMD's
Paul Amirault
3:44 pm on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
SW, please carefully read my posts and the entire thread. Ohai believes STEM education is the way to go ignoring everything else. The world is made of leaders and followers of which both are necessary. I am pointing out what can go awry when those STEM folks go blindly into the dark with a Pied Piper leading them.
1:08 pm on Thursday, July 19, 2012
Paul - not followers - just naive people that believed their inventions would be used for the common good. Just like those that believed Bush when he said 'sign on the blank line - we need to go to war' and Obama when he promised us that Obamacare wasn't a tax.
3:00 pm on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
Talk about getting off topic - this a big reason why our schools are not improving. The real world is busy raging about politics and ideals instead of peeking inside the school house and seeing for ourselves.

"While it may classify a few as "politicians", I still bet that Kofi Annan, Obama, JFK, and the Clintons did more for humanity with their "worthless" degrees than the vast majority of of the so-called hard science degrees."
That's one of the dumbest things I've ever read...and saying that on Patch is saying something.
What the heck did any of those idiots do for humanity?
Furthermore, if it wasn't for the hard science people producing the actual goods and services that make a country rich, those idiots wouldn't even be able to PRETEND to be helping humanity (and fool people like the author of the above quote).

As has been said in various ways above, we obviously have different opinions and definitions of "doing for/helping society/humanity".
Jason Humm
5:39 pm on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
I don't think anyone will argue the innumerable benefits to science, technology, and general American pride that the space program and the moon race had. And I should remind you that JFK led the country in making that happen.
"We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.
It is for these reasons that I regard the decision last year to shift our efforts in space from low to high gear as among the most important decisions that will be made during my incumbency in the office of the Presidency."
Jason Humm
6:10 pm on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
Wow. You went there? I'm trying to hold a decent discussion and keep it on topic. We're talking about what liberal arts people do for this world. It's not all about widgets and gadgets that you can crank out. While those are important, all these comments that liberal arts degrees, funding, and majors are worthless is wholly inaccurate.
Of course there are controversial issues surrounding all these people that we're talking about, but that's not the topic at hand. We're discussing their contributions and "value" to the world.
For you to call Kofi Annan an idiot is absurd. You should probably read a little more about him and what he's done.
For several reasons, I won't comment on any contributions or issues surrounding Obama.
If you can bring yourself to look beyond Clinton's issues while he was in office, he has more than demonstrated a huge ability to make significant changes in the world. If you don't believe me, ask some of the hostages whose release from North Korea he negotiated. Politics and policies aside, I don't think you should so easily dismiss people who have liberal arts degrees.

It's called structure.
Paul Amirault

They fit as the largest and most balenced.

Thank you FiFA coming from you I'm honored.Frank what network has a show like the Five I'd like to watch? As for MSNBC not going away wait until after the election it will be a movie channel and NBC will have the regular network.You must've not been paying attention to Keith Obermann who stated they were headed into oblivion and were going to mainstream one of the reasons he headed for Gores network or so he said . Ed Schultz is definitely gone he won't make the mainstream cut Rachael Maddow will fit in on NBC she will be able to take both sides of an arguement.After this election whoever wins there won't be a need for it the ratings are lower than local infomercials.That is a fact .

We should teach kids how to work together and recognize strengths and weaknesses in others and themselves. Bias recognition is a fundamental principle taught in a liberal arts setting. Collaborative teamwork is an essential part of groundbreaking new discoveries like at CERN, where thousands of scientists have to work together to operate the LHC. If you bring these two working processes/abilities together, you have a more functional and productive team that can communicate. Who gets to lead/make decisions? Those who demonstrate the most knowledge/understanding of their field without compromising basic human ethics. The liberal arts do a particularly good job of attuning students to ethical dilemmas through the study of individual and group accomplishments/struggles in historical and contemporary settings whether in science or the humanities.
7:21 pm on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
I really think we should make debate a class and subject starting in 3rd grade go through high school. make it mandatory ,have kids switch teams maybe 5 or 6 times a year .Choose topics and make them take one side one week the other side the next . Encourage competition ,award winners,eventually make it a sport.Think if kids learned from an early age to argue and not fight or hold bad feelings towards each other instead of reaching for a weapon or fist.They'd all win at least once during the year once they got into it.Instead of Participant trophies they'd get winning points.Give them the subject a week a head let them study up on it then on the monday divide them up give them both a side .Eventually we'd have people looking at three sides of all arguements,thier side,the opponets and somewhere down the middle the truth.
Bora Mici
10:02 pm on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
Debates are good if you require research and make them aware of their sources. Giving them a range of topics and letting them choose the one that interests them might also be a good idea for more challenging groups.
10:38 pm on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
kevin - I like your thinking . Good teachers use debates as an effective teaching tool. It gives kids an authentic purpose for conducting research and teaches them how to formulate logical fact-based arguments. They learn effective communication skills and how to disagree in a civil manner. I think a few folks here could use some of folks here could benefit from that training.

OK, here is a version with a 'Quit ROM shortcut'. As always, the binary and the source are included.
This kinda negates my earlier promise not to release any more unsubstantial updates, but the inability to quit a ROM and having to manually exit the emulator everytime using Quit Game in the XMB surely irritated the crap out of everyone, so there.
ROM Quit: Press R2 + L2 simultaneously to go back to the ROM browser menu.
This shortcut will likely change as more features are added.

The Psychology Program offers a 40 credit undergraduate major leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree, as well as an 18 credit minor. The Program is open to both women and men through evening coursework, and traditional age Women's College students. The mission of the Psychology Program is to facilitate students' understanding of the science of psychology, as well as the values, knowledge, and skills required to pursue empowerment of self and others in a social justice context. Students will acquire a broad understanding of the discipline of psychology, as well as a global awareness of issues affecting the development of psychological knowledge in other countries. At the same time, they will develop an appreciation of principles of ethical decision making, the importance of resilience, self-efficacy and self-advocacy as cornerstones of self-respect and self-determination, and the fundamental duty of social justice in working with underserved groups. The Program will prepare students to implement a range of empowerment strategies in their personal and interpersonal lives, successfully pursue graduate study, and work productively in their chosen fields.
Students who complete the major or minor in Psychology will have a broad range of knowledge and skills applicable to many human service careers and programs of graduate study, as well as business employment settings.
Student learning outcomes for the Psychology Program include:
Students who complete the degree in psychology will have a broad range of skills applicable to many human services as well as business employment settings. The Program provides a rigorous education in fundamental content areas such as human development and personality theory, but also teaches students to think critically and communicate effectively. These are skills that are highly sought after by employers in corporations, hospitals, schools, counseling centers, and group homes. With a bachelor's degree in psychology from the College of Saint Elizabeth, students are eligible for entry-level positions in the mental health field and have been hired in community agencies, hospital programs, and in group homes.
Students who complete the Program are also well prepared to pursue master's and doctoral degrees. Many of our graduates have earned these advanced degrees from institutions such as:
Many psychology majors choose to double major and/or minor in related disciplines such as education, sociology, gerontology, justice studies, biology, nutrition and business. Students are encouraged to discuss these options with their advisor because completing a second major and/or minor along with the major in psychology broadens students' career choices. The minor in psychology is also a very good option to combine with a major in another discipline such as sociology or business. The minor will also give students the option to apply to graduate programs in psychology.
Students must choose one course from Area I and two courses each from Areas II and III.
Total: 8 credits
Students must choose two courses from the following:
Total Credits for Bachelor of Arts in Psychology: 40
Students fulfill the College of Saint Elizabeth capstone requirement by successfully passing a three-part comprehensive examination. The comprehensive examination includes a standardized test of achievement in the field of psychology, a written essay and journal article critique, and a career portfolio. Preparation for the examination is offered in PSY 490 Senior Research Seminar.

The "choice screen", as it's officially known, will achieve in an instant what Microsoft succeeded for well over a decade in suppressing: it will help them easily disable Internet Explorer as their default web browser.Under the terms of its anti-trust settlement with the European Commission, Microsoft will no longer be able to restrict choice to Windows users across the EU, as well as Iceland, Lichtenstein and Norway. Instead, it must help them make a choice: yes, they might retain Internet Explorer as their gateway to the web -- but they will also be offered the options of Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, AOL, Maxthon, K-Meleon, Flock, Avant Browser, Sleipnir and Slim Browser.The screen -- as well as a web page at browserchoice.eu hosted by Microsoft -- is designed to display, in random order, the icons of the five leading browsers by market share: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Google's Chrome. The logos appear alongside some brief text about each; scroll across and you will see less prominent mentions of the next seven browsers ranked by popularity. Click one or more of the buttons marked "Install" and you will have participated in an exercise in democratic accountability as potentially transformative to the web economy as any general-election ballot.That's because the "browser ballot", as it's being called, could determine not only who controls our access to the world wide web in the future -- but also the shape of the web itself. As Danny Sullivan, editor- in-chief of Search Engine Land and a long-time observer of the web, sees it, "We're coming to a fork in the road where we're being asked to choose between a web that is largely open and standards-based and one that is essentially run by companies."For years browsers have been the Cinderellas of the computing world, largely unnoticed conduits to the web. Most users stick with the one that comes with their computer (Explorer with Windows; Safari on the Mac); plenty are unaware there are even alternatives.But since 2003, one browser has emerged from nowhere to challenge the dominance of the corporate giants. Built and updated not by a multinational company but by an alliance of 250 staff and about 10,000 volunteers, and backed by a charitable foundation, the browser is free to download and its source code is open for anyone to inspect and modify -- all of which has made it the world's second most popular browser, used by some 330 million people. And it has achieved that almost entirely through word of mouth.The Mozilla Foundation's Firefox, an elegant, feature-laden, customisable and, crucially, non-corporate browser that runs on Windows, OS X and Linux, has a global market share of 24 percent, according to web analytics company NetApplications. That puts it behind Explorer at 62 percent, but ahead of both Safari and Chrome, each of which hovers around five percent. Across Europe, Firefox's penetration is even higher, at 32 percent, and in Slovenia, Macedonia, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Latvia, Bosnia Herzegovina, Ghana, Indonesia and the Philippines it is the number-one choice, with more than 50 percent market penetration.In the past year, Firefox's popularity has risen even further. In July 2008, Mozilla earned a place in the Guinness World Records for the most downloads in 24 hours (8,002,530 of Firefox 3.0); in the two weeks following the launch of Firefox 3.6 in January this year, the upgrade was downloaded more than 40 million times. And even though its entire approach is the antithesis to that of the VC-backed West Coast corporates, Firefox earns Mozilla real money. In 2008, according to its most recent audited accounts, Mozilla -- which, remember, gives away its main product -- announced a record income of $78.6 million. This comes mostly from fees paid by Google, Yahoo, Amazon and eBay to feature in the search box on Firefox's toolbar, and a share of revenue generated by users clicking Google ads via Firefox-initiated searching.All this would have been almost unimaginable by the small team of developers who began the Firefox project nearly 12 years ago as an attempt to rescue something from the ashes of Netscape Navigator, a browser that went from web domination to near death in just a few years.Navigator was developed by a 22-year-old software developer called Marc Andreesen in 1994. With it, Andreesen's company, Netscape, had stumbled across a product perfectly designed to ride the world wide web's new mass popularity, giving many users their first taste of hyperlinks, web pages and the almost unimaginable scale of the information starting to be available online.Navigator was distributed free for personal use, but sold to businesses via download and retail outlets. In addition Netscape got healthy revenues from its web-server software NetSite. By 1995, its income was doubling every quarter. On August 9 1995, the day the company was floated on the stockmarket -- to many, the official start of the first dotcom boom -- its share price rose from $28 (£19) to $75 (£50), valuing the company at about $2 billion (£1.3bn). By December 1995, shares had reached $174 (£115).Yet as fast as it had risen, Netscape fell. Within six years its market share had dropped from more than 85 per cent to less than ten -- and that residue was only due to users not bothering to upgrade. The reason? A simple change of business strategy taken by one Bill Gates, 1,300km north of Netscape's SiliconValley campus, at Microsoft HQ in Seattle.At the start of 1995, Microsoft appeared to have little interest in the internet with, reportedly, only four people working fulltime on developing a browser. Its ambitions were focused squarely on conquering the desktop through Windows and associated programs such as Word. But by May, Gates was telling executives that the web was where the company's future lay. That December, four months after the Netscape flotation, the company released version 1.0 of Internet Explorer, a browser that, crucially, came free with Windows 95.Explorer was a disaster for Netscape. Microsoft put huge resources behind its development, launching four full new versions in as many years, bundling Explorer with every new copy of Windows and investing $150 million (£100m) in Apple -- effectively saving the company -- in return for it making Explorer the default browser on the Mac operating system.By January 1998, Netscape was finding it increasingly hard to compete and in a last-ditch attempted fight-back it published the Navigator source code online in the hope that the emerging open-source community would take the program -- along with some associated products for handling email and IRC chat -- and build something new. The company retained the rights to make commercial use of any code developed by outsiders. The project was managed by a loose group of mostly former Netscape employees, brought together as the Mozilla organisation, named after Netscape's dinosaur mascot. It initially had some breakthroughs in developing what was to become the Mozilla Application Suite, but in 2003 the group decided to start again and build a new browser from scratch. It would take another three years to see a public release, but Firefox had been born.

Here we are in the middle of graduation season! As you watch these young men and women embark on the next chapter of their lives, you have the opportunity to utilize the same symbolism for yourself. While it may have been years since you've been in a cap and gown, education never stops and this time of year is a reminder to look back on what has been accomplished while taking the necessary steps to move forward.
A relationship is certainly an education. One with a series of tests, extensive research, the roles of teacher and student, unexpected courses in math, science, biology, chemistry, history, speech, writing, sex ed and, hopefully, a bit of recess! You may not be able to march across a stage to receive a diploma and the applause of an audience acknowledging the accomplishments of relationships, but you are still able to incorporate some of the key elements of graduation into your personal growth.
We are a world built on momentum that is constantly reaching forward. We rarely take the time to examine the past and the amazing things we have accomplished so far. Take some time to look at the life you have created for yourself. Really see it. Don't focus on the things that you want to change but allow yourself instead to see what you have done that is incredible. Think about your life's story and imagine that you are hearing it as if it belongs to someone else. What parts of the story excite you, thrill you, astonish you with their bravery, leave you in awe of our hero? Well, the hero of this story is you. Embrace that.
While reflecting, extend gratitude to those that have given your life its color. Maybe this will inspire you to reach out to an old friend. Maybe you will do something unexpected and kind for a neighbor or colleague. Maybe you will sit down with your partner, take their hands and express your gratitude for all the gifts they have brought into your life. Or maybe you will just sit with their image in your mind and love in your heart. Genuine gratitude is an incredible thing to give to another person but it is equally important to give it to ourselves. Take a moment to look in the mirror and see yourself fully and without apology. The person you see is the single most important relationship in your life. Say "thank you."
One of the single hardest things in life to do is to forgive. It is also one of the single most important things you can do for your own well-being. Forgiveness does not let those that have hurt us off the hook as much as it lets us off our own hook. As Lewis B. Smedes says, "To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you." And perhaps even more challenging than trying to forgive another is making the choice to forgive yourself. Yes, you have made mistakes. That is one of the prices of living. But that is also one of life's gifts because our mistakes give us character, give us humility, and they give us humor. You are not your mistakes, you are how you let your errors define you. Without mistakes there can be no forgiveness and without forgiveness there can be no love!
This is the time to think about what you would like to do next. How do you want to live your life and how do you want your relationships to evolve? A graduating senior must choose whether to continue their education, join the work force, take a sabbatical, settle down or party on. As a student of life, what would you next like to do or learn? Make some new goals. Sure, you can make them epic "bucket list" goals like visit Bora Bora, learn to speak Mandarin, or compete in a triathlon. But find some simple goals as well. Get out of bed 30 minutes earlier. Put down the TV remote and read a book. Learn about one of your partner's hobbies and surprise them with a gift that shows you support their own goals.
One of the great gifts to give a graduating senior of any age is the Dr. Seuss classic "Oh The Places You'll Go." It's a sweet and whimsical tale filled with reminders of what a great adventure living can be. So as you journey on into the next chapter of your life, I give this great quote from the book, "You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go…"

21. | Kung Fu | ||
An overrated martial art that is popular due to Chinese movies and media attention. It's actually rather behind-the-times, rigid, and not very effective in this day and age. It's still a beautiful martial art to watch with an interesting history, but in all honesty, you'd probably be just as well off with a traditional boxing, wrestling, Taekwondo, or Karate school if you were looking to get into some sort of martial arts training.
That's not to say that Kung Fu is useless or that it isn't great for other facets of life, but it's reputation as a hugely powerful martial art is a bit too flattering. Perhaps if you dedicated your life to Kung Fu training or moved to a Shaolin Temple then the results of your training may turn out differently, but you don't have to worry that your buddy who takes Kung Fu classes twice a week can twist you up into a pretzel. It just doesn't work that way in real life. Guy A: Man, we should take Kung Fu!
Guy B: Let me guess... you were watching the TV series yesterday? Guy A: Yeah, man! The DVD box-set is out! |

1. | Kung Fu | ||
Kung fu is one of a number of Chinese martial arts designed to refine the body and the mind. It is perhaps one of the most widely known Chinese martial arts, because many films incorporate kung fu techniques. There are hundreds of styles of kung fu taught all over the world, although they can be loosely divided into two camps: Shaolin style kung fu, and other techniques, some of which have a history which out dates the Shaolin order. Kung fu is seen with a variety of different spellings including gung fu and gong fu. This spelling variation is due to the difficulty of transliterating from Chinese to other languages. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, Chinese was transliterated using the Wade-Giles system, which transposed the Chinese "g" sound with a "k." Parts of China and Taiwan still use the Wade-Giles system, but most of China has begun to use pinyin, which has replaced the "k" of the Wade-Giles system with a "g." Bruce Lee and other famous martial artists from China also used the "g" when talking about gung fu. Shaolin gung fu has its origins in the fifth century. Like some other martial arts, it began in religious temples, where the monks sought a mind and body discipline. In addition to the fighting style, kung fu also includes mental exercises and religious practices designed to balance the whole body. Kung fu is fundamentally about aligning the practitioner with chi, the life force which is believed to move all around us. Shaolin temples resembled universities, integrating a wide range of subjects of study. Therefore, traditional Shaolin styles such as Wing Chun, Crane, Praying Mantis, and Hung Gar incorporate knowledge from fields outside martial arts, such as the healing arts and meditation. Advocates for Shaolin styles believe that they are more rounded martial arts styles, and that practitioners will benefit from them on a whole body level. Other fighting styles, some of which predate the Shaolin style, are also lumped under the kung fu umbrella. They include Pa-Kua, Eagle Claw, and Eight Drunken Immortals styles. These kung fu disciplines are not considered to be Shaolin style because they did not originate in temples, and are focused primarily on fighting techniques. Whether Shaolin or otherwise, kung fu is characterized by self defense tactics which turn the energy of an attacker against him or her. Although the techniques may vary, individual kung fu styles teach grapples, throws, kicks, punches, and the use of weapons such as staffs. In addition to the physical discipline, most kung fu styles place an emphasis on respect, honor, and living a balanced life.
2. | kung fu | ||
An extremely disciplined, powerful martial art where strength is built in low stances and powerful blocks. Some Kung Fu blocks are so powerful that it can break the arm of someone who is punching you. Kunf Fu has many systems like Hung-Gar, WuShu, Wing Chun, and others. Kung Fu is for the patient, and mentally and physically strong person. It was the basis for many later forms of martial arts. All the best martial arts masters practice Kung-Fu. It is even taught to some country's military special forces.
3. | kung fu | ||
The pursuit of physical and mental perfection.
Kung fu is used to take a chaotic mind and turn it into a flourishing garden of thought. The physical side of Kung fu is what is seen on tv, its all people know about it because they are not worthy of its study until they realise it. Kung fu comes in many many forms, it is not limited to a style, a style is somthing we make from kung fu. Just because the styles available are what is on offer, does not mean that after you learn discipline in one style you cannot progress and create your own personal style based on what is essentially your most powerful stance, movement pattern, or technique. Kung fu is misunderstood from its original intentions, purely because many heathens have gotten hold of it and are not following the rules associated with attaining and maintaining balance in thier lives. Kung fu is not an excuse to pick fights, thought in this area is needed greatly because it is a fairly gentle art in most cases and this is misinterpreted. The reason we are not shown what can be done by most kung fu masters is because of the nature of man and the overwhelming desire to do battle inherant within 'most' of us. A dedicated passion for peace is what is needed to achieve control and perfection of the art. Kung fu learner 'x' becomes gripped with what is in the movies.
He quickly loses control over the mental aspect through training only the body. this leads to very bad karma. Kung fu learner 'Y' becomes gentle yet powerful and accurate through the correct path of 'mind first and foremost, body later' This leads to a very healthy lifestyle. |
4. | kung fu | ||
(Chinese) An aquired skill. Cooking is just as much a kung fu than Wing Chun or Hsing I.
5. | kung fu | ||
In laymens term, Kung fu = Skill
Kung = Energy Fu = time anything that takes energy and time developes its own level of kung fu. Chinese based martial arts are often refered to as kung fu. When regarding these systems of martial arts, many people, especially todays modern martial arts crowed, mis understand the truth behind chinese based martial arts. There are many schools of kung fu that do not have actual masters teachning them, this is where the common mis conception of its effectiveness comes into play. those ignorant of the truth behind chinese martial arts view these schools and form an incorrect ideal of what kung fu is. traditional chinese martial arts, often are very quick, very powerful, and extremely effective in thier efficiency. to become proficient in chinese martial arts however, takes great time. due to the methods and the variance in technique, chinese martial arts, often, take three times longer to become proficeient in. however, when you reach a state of proficiency, you will have a higher degree of available techniques. Rather than the simple basics that many (mostly modern martial arts such as MMA) have. A "kung fu" master, delves in depth to the intricacies of the human body and its mechanics, exploiting any and all weaknesses in thier opponent, being able to explode from any position, and from any posture with heavily practiced techniques for such occasions. only the ignorant believe any system of martial arts superior to a... |
6. | kung fu | ||
Synonym of skill or ability. "My Kung Fu is stronger than yours".
7. | kung fu | ||
A collection of fine martial arts which, thanks to thousands of matrix fanboys and anime-fags, has come to represent a massive group of jerkasses and idiots who think that a fancy school is the secret to combat. The result is a huge crowd of white kids who, having not spent anywhere near enough time training, go and pick fights with other people who don't know kung-fu, but DO know a decent right cross. I'm sure that, given time, it is powerful and deadly, but 90% of the time, the kid across from you is just going to pull some 'combatative flower arranging' type bullshit until you kick him in the head, at which point, he'll fall over and cry that you didn't hit him in a blockable fashion. An Amazing Martial Art that has been ruined by faggots.

The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.
We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.
Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.
We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Cincinnati, Ohio, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Cincinnati Sun.
