Suburban Depot by Coolhand101ESep 21, 2014 Multiplayer Map 0 comments
Made by Coolhand101E (www.coolhand101e.com), this map has been converted for MW Mod compatibility. The map is rather incomplete and lacks in detail, but...
Are you getting bored of normal World in Conflict multiplayer? Have you ever wanted the experience of WiC, and more, in a modern setting with all your favourite vehicles and equipment?
Well, don't worry because Modern Warfare Mod 3 is here! Modern Warfare Mod 3 is designed from the ground up specifically to provide an exciting and renewed experience for people who are getting tired or bored of the vanilla multiplayer experience. So please, if you get bored of WiC, before you go and uninstall the game, give the mod a try and let us know how good it is!

NOTE: This mod requires your World in Conflict to be patched to version 22.214.171.124. or it will not work. To patch your game, simply start the game, sign into multiplayer, and it will detect that your game is outdated and patch it.
Choose which type of install you would like to do. Please note that the installer is only compatible with Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8. Not Windows XP.
This is a full version of the mod. Even if you don't have the mod at all this will install it as the current version. If you do have a previous version, it will update you to the current version.
Maps were last updated during MW Mod 4.1 release. NOTE: If you already had any version of the maps from 4.1 or onwards you do not need to redownload the maps -- just get the updated mod instead.
If you had a previous version of the map pack installed from older versions of the mod, please update it by downloading the latest map pack below:
The updated map pack improves performance of the mde_Reforger map and adds one additional map: do_Fulda by Slepnyrl.
Due to the increasing complexity in the simulation of missiles, aircraft, artillery, and more- Modern Warfare Mod 4 requires a higher-end system than specified on the original World in Conflict system requirements.
These are now the minimum system requirements:
These are now the recommended system requirements:
At minimum, your system (including video card) must maintain 27 frames per second or higher, and 40fps or higher is recommended for a good gameplay experience. Below 27 fps, numerous homing projectiles may miss their targets or fail to perform altogether. Try lowering your graphics settings if you cannot achieve enough frame rate.
World in Conflict and MW Mod both support multi-threading.
Due to the fact that WiC's dedicated server application (WiC_DS) only runs at 10 frames per second and is incredibly buggy, MW Mod cannot be run on dedicated servers or it will crash.
This means that all sessions need to be hosted by players.
For details on how to host a game with your friends or other MW Mod players, please see: Understanding Multiplayer for WiC MW Mod.

Firstly, here are some lists that may be useful:
Last updated September 12, 2014
- (RU) T-80UK command tank view distance increased to 250 (from 175).
- (RU) T-90A: Decreased hitbox size to more accurately portray the tank's smaller profile (in
comparison to M1A2).
- (JTDS) JTAC/FAC infantry will now lay down on the ground when tripod ability (defensive ability) is
- (JTDS) Lowered cost of JTAC/FAC infantry for Armor role in reinforcement menu (from 450 to 350).
- (US) AGM-114R-3 Hellfire: the missile will no longer provide vision of enemy units while it is flying.
- New Unit (US side): Cruise Missile Launcher (restored from 2.X open beta days). RGM-109E Tactical
Tomahawk (TacTom) land attack missile -- now restored into the game, only this time it's using FLINT
missile system.
Missile uses terrain-following navigation; upon arrival, it pops up and then goes for a terminal dive.
- (US): New Attack Helicopter for Experts has been added, configured with loadout of 16x AGM-114R-3
Hellfire for semi-active laser homing coop w/ JTAC. There are now two Attack Helicopter for
Experts, each using a different load out:
* AGM-114L5 Longbow Hellfire: uses millimeter-wave active radar seeker -- does NOT work with
JTAC and cannot be designated by laser.
"Fire and forget" capability and provides high rate of fire against multiple targets. Can only
engage armor and vehicles which are visible to the radar seeker. No capability against buildings
or enemy infantry.
* AGM-114R-3 Hellfire II Romeo: uses semi-active laser homing (SALH) -- can be laser designated by
JTAC inf. If JTAC is unavailable, helicopter itself will lase the target, provided that target is visible
to you. Capability to engage buildings and enemy infantry, so long as the target is designated by
JTAC's laser.
- (RU) Removed legacy/outdated cruise missile launcher from RU tactical aid menu (use ballistic
missiles instead).
- (RU) 9M113M Konkurs (AT-5 Spandrel) anti-tank missile fired by BMP-2 now uses FLINT missile system.
- (US) MGM-168 ATACMS: Updated flight dynamics.
- (US) MIM-104 Patriot and PAC-3 MSE: Updated flight dynamics.
- (JFSN Networked Artillery) (US): US M31A1 GMLRS rockets now use enhanced ballistic physics --
MLRS rockets now take much longer to arrive on the target area (30 seconds+).
- (JFSN Networked Artillery) (US): Enlarged strike radius to 50 wic meters for full "fire for effect"
barrage. Now same radius as vanilla WiC's "Heavy Artillery Barrage" tactical aid function; radius used
to be 40.
- (JFSN Networked Artillery): Fixed the broken strike request handling function
(JFSN_Supplicant.CE_Push). Units will no longer try to walk aimlessly into enemy fire when the
artillery request (offensive abil) button is used.
- (JFSN Networked Artillery): When artillery request is placed on an area with no enemies present,
system will now fire full barrage of 12 rockets -- this is to allow forward observers to "lead" a moving
column of enemy vehicles and call down heavy artillery barrage ahead of their projected path.
Note that artillery strike may take up to 40-45 seconds to arrive (fire mission processing time of ~10
seconds, plus ordinance travel time of +32 seconds), so plan your strikes accordingly.
- (JFSN Networked Artillery): System will now process fire missions sequentially from the latest (very
last) request, rather than starting from the oldest. This is to allow forward observer to "correct" its
artillery strike request after calling one to a wrong location, or to fine-tune the target lead against
a moving column of vehicles.
- (JFSN Networked Artillery): MLRS units now take up to 120 seconds to reload their magazines.
- (RU) Airdropped Light Tank TA changed back to Airdropped IFV (drops BMP-2 again) for game
- (US) Cruise missile launchers are now available on Air role reinforcement menu, to maintain balance
with Russian side having TBM launcher.
- Score gained from intercepting small PGMs (Hellfire, Maverick, etc) has been standardized to 100.
- Score gained from intercepting ARMs (Kh-31, HARM, etc) has been standardized to 275.
- (US) Reduced price of Stryker MGS (to 600-650 range).
- (TA) Aerial Recon TA price has been standardized to 10 for both factions.
- Nuclear-tipped tactical missile launchers now have minimum enforced range of 700, in order to
confine the unit to spawn zones (for game balance reasons).
- Hits from cluster munitions dropped by rocket artillery will no longer break command point
- (US) ATACMS missile changed to MGM-140B Block 1A standard.
- (US) ATACMS now dispenses individual straight projectiles when releasing cluster munitions, rather
than animating a huge blast animation that used to do same damage as Tochka TBM.
- (US) ATACMS ballistic missile launcher TA price reduced to 28 (from 30).
- (RU) 9K720 Iskander M ballistic missile launcher's reload time has been reduced to 60 (from 90s).
- (US) Added TLAM/N nuclear-tipped cruise missile launcher to tactical aid menu -- 45 TA per
Though retired out of service in 2013 and we were initially hesitant to add this unit, in the interest
of pvp multiplayer balance and due to it being a popular community request, we've decided to add
- (US) Reworked boost phase flight model for Tomahawk cruise missile to mitigate clobbering issues
(i.e. missile dives into the ground) while flying to the first navigation waypoint.
- (US) New skin (texture) for Tomahawk cruise missile.
- Reworked flight modeling for S-300 and Patriot SAM (slightly reduced maximum peak velocities to
meet game box playfield constraints).
- (US) MIM-104F PAC-3 MSE missile: Reworked initial launch flight model to provide "over the shoulder"
maneuver capability, per MEADS standard requirements.
- (RU) S-300PM 48N6 missile: Enhanced launch flight model to mitigate seeker settling issues while
engaging low altitude Tomahawk cruise missiles in game.
- Introduced IR signature modeling for SHORAD SAMs. May take longer to lock onto low signature
targets (i.e. cruise missiles, ASMs, etc).
- AI Subsystem Layer (ASL): Fixed a bug where AI players could not repair/respawn damaged Heavy
SAM sites due to a corruption caused by recycling of unit IDs (16-bit integer space overrun).

this mod is workink only the steam version of the geame?
i tried with warez version but the mod dosn't worked so i need to by the original game to play this mod? and this mod works in single player or just in multi?
Dude buy ******* game its like 5 bucks, works on both retail and steam and its MP only! SHAME ON YOU!!!
Hi Everyone,
I just downloaded the Modern Warfare Mod. I love it, but will take me some time to adjust.
I am having difficulty with the bots. I go through the process on adding bots. Generally I like to play large games with 6-8 bots on each side. During the match, I notice that on average 2-3 bots, sometimes even more don't even play. They have a 0 score. This makes the game very lopsided and too easy. Is there is a way to make all bots actually play so I can have a 16 player match?
I checked my frame rate and on average it's 88 fps. I have my windows updated and graphic card updated with the latest updates. I have WIC updated, but have not downloaded and added the Modern Warfare map pack that has the 14 maps. I'm not sure if this will help.
Thank you everyone. I will greatly appreciate your help if there is any with this issue.
The bots indeed do play; but the way AI is programmed means that some bots will /never/ get score for the things they contribute in game (mostly air and support roles) -- it's a game engine issue, but those bots definitely do play and contribute to the game, just without getting scores for it.
Thank you blahdy for the reply. Excellent mod. It looks so easy watching the videos, but that quickly fades when actually trying the roles. I'm looking forward to playing this mod a lot.
Happy to hear you're enjoying it! Looking forward to seeing you in game sometime (we typically organize on Steam).

What It Takes to Be an Olympic Synchronized Swimmer
Written on June 11, 2012 at 3:51 pm , by Colleen Travers
This week I got the chance to grab some breakfast with the ladies of the U.S. Synchronized Swimming National Team. In addition to getting the ins and outs of the sport I learned that two of the team's swimmers, Mary Killman and Mariya Koroleva will be representing the team in London this summer, competing in the duet event and sponsored by Infusium 23. Below, a look into how the team gets ready to compete. (Hint: It includes lots of eating!)
- The girls work out eight hours a day, six days a week and mostly in the water. When they're not practicing their routine, they're lifting weights to stay toned and strong. Boosters (the girls who launch a teammate, known as the flier into the air) do lots of squats to power up their legs.
- A synchronized swimming routine is typically between three to five minutes, and the moves and even positions of the swimmers are always changing. If a routine is done in competition and a judge makes a comment about a position or move, it gets replaced and new moves and angles have to be learned.
- During the routine, swimmers are holding their breath 50 percent of the time. To train for this, they often do underwater laps during practice to exercise their lungs.
- Things can get rough in the water! The girls have all experienced sprained toes from being kicked, bruises and even concussions–ouch!
- To keep their bodies fueled the girls stick to a low-carb, high protein diet. Since they work out for so long, an assistant brings them meals in Tupperware to the side of the pool to eat while practicing. Sounds like a dream come true, but the girls say eating while you work out is actually not all that appetizing!
Killman and Koroleva will be off to London for the Opening Ceremony, and then will spend a week in Dublin training before competition starts August 5. For more information on them and the rest of the team visit usasynchro.org.

Striving for Those Six-Pack Abs
Tips for tightening your tummy
By Barbara Russi Sarnataro
Reviewed By Michael Smith, MD
"How do I get a flat stomach?" Fitness trainers hear this question more than any other.
"To get defined abs, it's going to take work," says exercise physiologist Kelli Calabrese. "A lean midsection takes a combination of good nutrition, cardiovascular conditioning, and abdominal training. Those who see the best results combine all three."
Shortening the Road to a Six-Pack
Good nutrition, Calabrese says, is absolutely essential for overall physique. Calabrese employs the garbage-in, garbage-out theory. Consuming most of your calories from processed and fast foods, she says, is going to produce an unhealthy body lacking in nutrients. Make good food choices, on the other hand, and you're on your way to a leaner you.
"If you're eating natural and whole foods you can eat more than if you're eating processed foods," says Calabrese.
Though Calabrese says it comes down to the equation of calories-in, calories-out, she doesn't recommend counting calories. She advises eating five to six small meals a day. This way, she says, your metabolism keeps stoked all day long, which gives you energy and keeps you from overeating.
"Exercise alone is great for expending calories, but without watching your diet, it's going to be a long, slow road to getting a six-pack." For your abdominal muscles to show, you have to shed the fat that lies on top.
Cardiovascular conditioning, whether it's running, walking, or taking a cycling or dance class, can help burn calories. Combined with a balanced diet, aerobic exercise helps you lose the fat built up above the muscle.
Experts agree that the combination of a healthful, nutritious diet and cardiovascular exercise are needed to train your abdominal muscles.
Ab Workout: More Is Not Better
"You're not going to reduce fat content without either a whole heck of a lot of abdominal work -- which is unnecessary and a waste of time -- or some kind of aerobic activity," says Richard Cotton, exercise physiologist and spokesman for the American Council on Exercise (ACE).
Abdominal muscles consist of three layers. The very deepest layer is the transversus abdominis, which acts as the body's girdle, providing support and stability and plays a critical role in exhalation. Next is the rectus abdominis, which flexes the spine. Closest to the surface are the internal and external obliques, which turn the trunk and provide the body with rotation and lateral movement.
Exercise physiologist and certified diabetes expert Rich Weil recommends training the abdominals much the way you would any other part of the body.
"Abdominal muscles are no different than any other muscle group. They should respond the same way." Hence, if you wouldn't do 50 bicep curls, you don't need to do 50 abdominal crunches, he says. Just work smarter by slowingdown to try to isolate the muscles you're working.
Six-Pack Abs: Reality or Pipe Dream?
So what about the six-pack? Is it attainable? Can anyone get it?
Although possible, most experts say it's rare.
"Six-pack abs is really a pre-cellulite phenomenon. It tends to be reserved for those in their teens and 20s," says Cotton. "It gets more difficult as we age because we get more subcutaneous body fat." However, with the right genetics and strict program, even people in their 30s and 40s can have six-pack abs.
Genetically, women have a disadvantage when it comes to that. Their bodies store more fat than men. For good reason, says Calabrese. Women's bodies are designed to bear and nourish babies and fat is the primary energy source to support fetal development. In addition, Calabrese says, men generally lose weight quicker as a result of regular exercise.
For women to lower body fat enough to have a six-pack, says Cotton, "that might even interrupt their menstrual cycle."
That's why Cotton doesn't encourage such extreme goals.
"I personally think it's on the order of ridiculous," he says. "If you're spending that much time on your abs, you're wasting time and taking time away from other muscle groups. It's a show muscle.
"When I have clients that are obsessed with that, I work on values and self-acceptance. People want a perfect body, they want a Lexus and they want a 3,000 square foot home. They're objectifying the body."
There are important reasons to train the midsection, however. The core muscles of the abdominals strengthen the torso, improve posture, decrease low back pain, and reduce risk of injury.
Abdominal training can also improve other areas of fitness. If you're a golfer or tennis player, working with a stronger core is going to give you more power behind your stroke or serve and reduce risk of shoulder injury. A stronger torso, for example, will put less strain on your knees while running.

Our Profession, Our Schools: The Case for Fundamental Reform
By Albert Shanker
The AFT vision of transforming teaching into a full profession, unimaginable just a few short years ago, is now at center stage of the national discussion about the direction of education reform. We have before us the possibility of creating a self-governing profession and of redesigning our schools so that teaching and learning can flourish.
Teaching Knowledge: How Do We Test It?
Not with Simplistic, Multiple-Choice, Context-Free Exams
By Linda Darling-Hammond
An analysis of the typical questions used in tests that are supposed to assess a teacher's professional knowledge reveals that less that 10 percent of the questions require a command of theory, research, or facts pertaining to teaching. What, then, do they measure?
Docemur Docendo (He Who Teaches, Learns)

Pittsburgh's Eight-Week In-Service Program Has Teachers Working and Learning Together
By Sheryl Hovey
In-service education doesn't have to mean just a three-hour workshop on a Saturday morning. Pittsburgh's unique, new staff development program brings teachers together for eight full weeks of study and collegial interaction.

Four Good Reasons for Certification of Paraprofessionals
By Anna Lou Pickett
As the education community begins to rethink how schools are structured and staffed, the time is ripe to push ahead with carefully constructed certification programs for paraprofessionals.
Uncapping the Retirement Age
No Exemption of Tenured Faculty
By Lawrence M. Friedman
Some states have totally uncapped the mandatory retirement age, making it illegal to dismiss a person solely on account of age. But, in a few of those states, tenured college faculty have been excluded from the law's protections. The arguments advanced for excluding them, says the author, are weak—morally and socially.

Three days have passed since a shooting claimed the life of a Minneapolis man, injured two police officers and resulted in the death of a motorcyclist, and family members say they still don't know why.
"I just want justice for him," said Ashley Martin, mother to Terrence Franklin's 4-year-old son, Nehemiah. "I want some answers."
Martin and her son stood on the steps of Minneapolis City Hall on Monday in a symbolic protest, saying they still have too many questions to find closure.
"I know he didn't have a gun," Martin said. "The whole story is not adding up at all."
Police say Franklin reached for an MP-5 gun held by one of the officers, but Martin told FOX 9 News she doubts that story.
"I don't believe that," she said. "Everybody that I've talked to that knows the whole story says the same thing: 'It doesn't sound right.'"
According to the Minneapolis Police Department, officers struggled with Franklin in the basement of a home he'd broken into after he fled police in a car and then on foot. Two officers were shot and wounded in the fray, and one remains in the hospital.
More questions linger at the intersection of 26th and Blaisell, where motorcyclist Ivan Romero was killed in a collision with a Minneapolis police squad that was responding to the shootings. Police confirm the squad went through a red light a half an hour after the shooting, but said the car had lights and sirens activated.
Minneapolis Police Chief Janee Harteau has repeatedly said the department wants to be transparent, but said they still need time to make sure they know all the facts. That includes collecting witness statements as they continue their investigation, but the loved ones of those killed admit they are getting impatient.
"I just want some answers because my son doesn't have a daddy anymore," Martin said. "I want people to know that I don't think it was right what happened to him."

Flames flared up again Thursday morning at a South Side warehouse where fire officials said the largest fire in "many years" took place earlier this week.
The blaze was never fully extinguished when it initially erupted Tuesday night at an abandoned warehouse near Ashland Avenue and 38th Street in the Bridgeport neighborhood, said Deputy Fire Commisioner John McNicholas. The fire was merely contained, he said, contradicting earlier statements Thursday from Fire Media Affairs that the fire had rekindled.
"As that fire starts to fester itself, eventually it gets enough air again and this is what you see here," McNicholas said. "There's a big concern of collapse. We know the structure has been compromised from the fire as well as from the ice that's sitting on it."
McNicholas estimated that the building is coated with 6 to 8 inches of ice.

About 50 firefighters were at the warehouse Thursday morning and would work in rotating shifts to douse any flare-ups for the next few days, a fire official said. To help contain the fire, firefighters will use a "deluge unit" that pumps water out faster and stronger than a hose, the official said.
A preliminary investigation Wednesday focused on only one part of the building where the fire was first seen, McNicholas said. Results of the investigation are still being processed.
Investigators continue to look for clues as to what caused the fire, McNicholas said, adding that squatters could have been a factor.
On Tuesday, more than 170 firefighters battled the five-alarm blaze that engulfed the warehouse and jumped to another structure.
"We haven't had a fire this big in many years," Fire Media Affairs Director Larry Langford said late Tuesday.
One firefighter suffered a minor back injury and was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.
The "extreme" fire was so extensive, emergency crews called two more special alarms, sending roughly one-third of the city's total firefighting power then to help, officials said.
Langford said he could not recall a blaze requiring that much manpower since the December 2004 blaze in the 100 block of S. La Salle Street.
On Tuesday night, flames were "out of control" on all floors in the abandoned warehouse where the fire began, but crews were gaining control of the fire by 11:15 p.m., according to the Fire Department.
The roof and three walls of the 200-foot by 200-foot structure collapsed as crews fought the flames. The fire jumped to another building in the 3800 block of S. Ashland Ave., but firefighters halted the blaze from consuming that building.
"We took that out right away," Langford said.
"If this had gotten any bigger we would have called suburban firefighters to cover some fire houses," he added.
"It's turning into a big ice cube now," Langford said.
Reports and photos of the fire spread across social media. The blaze could be seen from miles away.

Cosmetics Giant COVERGIRL is using star power in their new ad to rally girl power.
The campaign launched during the Sochi Olympics.
The campaign features female celebrities and sports stars talking about overcoming the naysayers.
"Girls can't," it starts with the various stars quoting.
"Sometimes you hear it, but more often you feel it," Ellen DeGeneres says.
Very soon, the mood shifts, and Queen Latifah says, "Yeah. Girls CAN!"
Then the various stars go on to describe what they do and how they ignored the people that doubted them.
"COVERGIRL knows that with every barrier she breaks, the world gets a little more easy breezy for the next girl," writes the company in the video description. The video has gotten almost a million views since being uploaded to YouTube on February 21.
This ad has generated some mixed reveals on social media.
"I love this so much because I am a young girl and I have played hockey for 4 years and I started on a boys girls team and I was the only girl and they all said I sucked because i was a girl but now im the top goal scorer on my team and im captain so this is a really motivational commercial :) thanks COVERGIRL." writes Brooklyn Morris.
However, another viewer criticized the use of celebrities in this video.
"All the women in this ad have conventionally ideal feature spacing, face: feature size ratios, facial symmetry, etc. And have lots of capital to fix those flaws if they need to. Most girls can't do that, and yet these celebrities are telling us to feel as empowered as they do..." comments Juni Xu.
One viewer took issue with the wording of the ad.
User Littleesecretss comments, "I would've liked it if they used a better word than 'girl' like lady or woman. it just makes us females seem more mature and knowledgeable than girls."

Inspiration: Adding Spring Color To Your Home
Although the thermometer was wavering in the 30s this morning, our hyacinths are beginning to bud and I just spotted the first crocus buried under frost. The fresh color against the muddy winter backdrop is just enough to keep the hope of warmer days alive. How about inviting the color indoors too?
• Live Like You's Jill Sorensen is always whipping up fabulously colorful creations to incorporate into her homes and those of her clients. I love her modern take on the painted fireplace screen, which gives the quintessential winter spot a fresh face for spring.
• I know many people with seasonal collections of pillow covers, lamp shades, and throws that they rotate with the changing weather, and this year may be the one that I follow suit. A bright shade on a neutral sofa is often enough to transform the whole flavor of a room.
• Painted furniture may be one of the most highly debated topics among readers, but any thrift store junkie will attest to the fact that sometimes ugly veneers just call out for a coat of color. A painted traditional piece gives a classic room a youthful spring flavor, and the best part is that the color can be changed when the mood strikes.

Love that fireplace screen!
The splashes of color is beautiful!
I haven't really done much in the way of rotating decor with the seasons, but my new yellow curtains in my art room are making me happy this spring.
That fuschia cabinet is amazing. Is it me or is the 2nd picture gasping for some sort of head board of art between those two lamps?
I like the message the crocus brings but do not like the look.
These photo's feel like spring.... which I have been longing for.
Do normal people really stuff their closets full of pillows, throws and lampshades for Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter - And does encouraging folks to buy more stuff they don't need really solve anyone's storage, decorating and money problems?
Why not encourage folks to bring in some fresh flowers & plants, open the windows & roll up the rugs and do some housecleaning rather than encouraging folks to buy yet more cheap stuff to pretty up the next few months rather than invest in quality items that will last them for years ?
Yeah, we have plenty of storage, but aside from a few holiday decorations I can't be bothered with rotating decor seasonally.
I do swap comforters on my bed in the winter (a necessity--we keep it cold in here) and put out more throws in the living room.
That said, I do love the bright splashes of color in these pictures. Especially that sideboard! And paint is wonderful, because if it's got nice lines, you can just keep repainting it as you tire of the colors.
I have always loved the look of a minimal/neutral room with pops of bright color. It's not a look I could ever pull off in my not remotely minimal or neutral home, but I love seeing it pictures.
Well said, bepst, that's exactly what I do in the spring, I take the rugs outside and shake them and air them out. I open up the windows and bring in freshly cut flowers from my backyard.
I looked for the 'like' button for bepsf..ha..
..but I DO plan on buying a big yellow pillow. : )
Thank you so much for featuring my livingroom with the very very pink credenza! :)
I think adding color (and painting) is an easy way to welcome the seasons. It's cheap and not very time consuming. I'd rather paint a chair or side board than buy new pillows and curtains (although I probably do that too! :):))
Please please tell what color and brand of paint of the credenza. I have a painted piano at home that I think I will repaint like that credenza!
The mirror! Must have it. How can I find it?
Hi Elisabeth! The paint color is from the NCS-system. The code is: S2060-P40B (should be a universal code)
The mirror (If you're referring to mine), is a vintage find from Peru that I got on ebay :)

Martin Luther King Jr. as Founding Father
Published on Wednesday, August 28, 2013 - 3:12pm
The Aug. 26 Time Magazine declared Martin Luther King Jr. another "Founding Father" in an article by John Meacham. The new title was conferred on King in relation to the success of his vision of a new understanding of the American Creed and our collective mission as a nation articulated in his speech at the March on Washington, 1963.
At first, I was startled by this declaration put in bold type on the cover of the magazine. Then the idea slowly sunk in and accommodated itself to my understanding of what Martin Luther King Jr. has accomplished on that warm day in August 50 years ago. Yes, in that one speech, Martin Luther King Jr. had summed up the ideal of freedom and equality articulated by Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence and connected that ideal with his prophetic dream of black and white sitting down at table together, playing together and realizing a biblical ideal of brotherhood.
How Martin Luther King accomplished the creation of a new sense of the meaning of the Declaration and the American Creed is explored by several new books including King's Dream, a book by Eric Sundquist, a UCLA professor of literature. In that book Sundquist analyzes the speech, taking each paragraph of the "I Have a Dream" speech and illustrating what might be the background of thinking behind each section of the speech. He takes into account the influences of other writers on his thought and the experiences King encountered as leader of the civil rights movement earlier in his career.
One of the most important influences on the speech, especially in its introduction, was the words the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson, an original Founding Father. King seemed to regard the ideal of liberty and equality of that founding document as an "American Scripture," as Pauline Maier calls it. The words and thoughts of that Declaration wove themselves into the thought, feeling and rhetoric of King as a minister and leader.
Sundquist helps our understanding of the speech by detailing the meaning of key terms King uses, such as "dream." Sometimes "dream" meant our sense of current reality, such as in reference to those who support segregation and ignore the rights of a whole population. They are living in a "dream," according to King. At other times, the term "dream" was associated with hopes for the future embodied in the statements of the Prophets foreseeing the fulfillment of God's purposes.
Often King quotes from the late prophet Daniel on how a promise of God made through the prophet inspired by a dream sent by God would be realized in the history of Israel. When used in the "I Have a Dream" speech, "dream" should be seen as referring to both a new sense of the meaning of the "American Creed" and the overall divine purpose for America.
At the March on Washington in 1963, King was speaking both as a leader of the massive civil rights political movement and as a priest of the American "civil religion" that sociologists such as Robert Bellah identifies as the religious sense of identity of a nation. Taking King's use of well-used ideas about the American identity that one finds in the Declaration, one can see the entire strategy of the speech as the effort to shift our understanding of Jefferson's assertion of the "self-evident truth" that "all men were created equal" to a new register.
In his speech, King is suggesting that the proclamation of the Declaration of Independence was itself more of a promise or dream or a continuing task rather than something already accomplished. That Jeffersonian political ideal of equality was not yet realized in American life was apparent at the height of the conflicts of the civil rights movement in the 1960s -- or today for that matter.
After redefining the founding document of the Declaration, King then works to connect that ideal of equality and freedom with what he calls the "American creed" that is what Sundquist calls a belief in the special mission of America. Often Americans have expressed this thinking that we were a chosen people. We were also a people with a purpose, that is, the purpose of realizing or freedom expressed in the founding documents. In a very skillful way, Martin Luther King Jr. on that bright day plays on that heritage of "civil religion" we have mentioned and sought to redefine the American creed or ideal in those terms.
Our American creed, according to King, was not just the political realization of the ideals of the Declaration in our institutions of government, but a call to a continual struggle for justice that included the realization of the rights of groups previously excluded from the circle of civic culture. He showed through his eloquence how the statement of equality and liberty made at the beginning of the Republic was actually a prophecy, a dream that calls us forth to further efforts.
In a few words Martin Luther King wove together the American sense of our chosen status as carriers of the political ideal of equality and freedom with the biblical, prophetic dream of unity and brotherhood and sisterhood to establish a new sense of citizenship that lives with us today.

Medical Questions and Answers
about Lithium Orotate
by Dr. Ward Dean
Please note: Dr. Dean is not a creator of or a contributor to this website.
The information below is from:www.vrp.com/drs/15.asp?c=1064345811300&k=/readdeardoctor.asp&m=/vstyle.css&j=15#top
Assessment Criteria for Lithium OrotateDear Dr. Dean: If one doesn't
need to have blood tests to measure therapeutic range using lithium orotate in lieu of lithium citrate, by what clinical standards
is successful dosing measured? DLDear DL, The reason blood tests are performed with prescription forms of lithium
is more to prevent toxicity than to judge therapeutic effect. Just because lithium levels are in the "therapeutic range" doesn't
mean they are effective. Successful dosing with lithium orotate is measured by clinical effects on the patient, rather than
by blood levels. Because of its high bioavailability, lithium orotate dosages are usually about 1/20 of the dosage of prescription
lithium. Ward Dean, M.D.Bi-Polar Disorder, and Questions about Lithium Orotate Side EffectsHi
Dr. Dean, I have read your article and Q and A re lithium orotate at VRP.com and I have a few more questions. Does lithium
orotate cause sleepiness or weight gain (or does it hinder weight loss)? I take 4 200 mg SAMe & 3 100 mg 5HTP per day
to alleviate depression (as well as natural progesterone, B-12 and lots of other vitamins). (I had been on Effexor, Zoloft
and Welbutrin - but I got off them to eliminate the side effects.) The natural antidepressants have enabled me to get off
the prescription ones - I feel that they work for me - I'm not perfect - I still get down and I still get angrier than I should
at times. My bi-polar sister recently died and I have always felt that I have some tendencies toward that condition. From
reading your answers I thought it might be a good thing for me to try Lithium orotate. I would like your opinion about that
and answers to my questions re sleepiness and weight gain. Thanks a lot. B.C.Dear Ms. Cunningham, Lithium Orotate
will not cause weight gain, nor will it cause sedation or sleepiness. It will not adversely interact with any of the other
supplements you are taking (or medications that you have taken in the past). Good luck, Ward Dean, M.D.Bipolar
Disorder and DepakoteDear Dr. Dean, I was being treated for depression and bipolar mood disorder with 2000mg/day of
Depakote, and 5mg /day of Zyprexe. I discontinued this course of treatment after six months because I felt like a zombie and
was not any better. In fact, I felt much worse. Are there any natural products or supplements I could take to improve my condition,
and that I should avoid? ( I am a 47 year old male with no prior diagnosis of depression and no other medical conditions)
Thank you for your help. Sincerely, GT Dear GT, I'm amazed at how the neurologists love Depakote. My first choice
for bipolar disorder is Lithium Orotate. Please read our article on Lithium Orotate on VRP's website. It is amazing (and inexpensive)
stuff. Lithium Orotate is about 20 times more bioavailable than the prescription forms of lithium. It does not require blood
tests to establish a "therapeutic" level, as the prescription forms do, nor is it toxic to the kidneys as the prescription
forms are. Other substances to try include high-dose Ethyl EPA (6-9 grams daily), and the combination of Syncholamine and
Positrol. Syncholamine should be used during the day in the "down" phase, and Positrol should be used at night during the
"up" phase. The prescription Neurontin (GabaPentin) may also help at night during the "up" phase. Hope these suggestions help.
Ward Dean, M.D Blood Tests for LithiumDr. Ward Dean, Re: Lithium Orotate I have started my BiPolar
Son on the lithium orotate to address his mania. This has been added to his current regime of vitamins/minerals and amino
acids, as prescribed by Dr. Billie Sahley of the Pain & Stress Center. His psychiatrist, Dr. John Alston of Evergreen,
CO was quite interested in this safer form of lithium. It is wonderful not to have to be concerned about its toxicity. However,
Dr. Alston also uses the blood test results to determine whether a patient is at a "therapeutic level." The blood level test
serves as a tool for him to determine appropriate dosage levels. Even though blood tests are not required for testing toxicity,
can they be used to determine whether a patient has a therapeutic amount of the lithium in their system? Would it be the same
blood test? Would the results be interpreted the same way? I appreciate your reply and will share the information with Dr.
Alston. Thanks -- Dear Mrs. Dalton, Prescription lithium is poorly absorbed by the cells, where it needs to be to
do its job. Because it is so poorly absorbed, blood levels need to be fairly high to "drive it into the cells." Unfortunately,
these "therapeutic" blood levels are dangerously close to the toxic level. That's why patients on prescription lithium need
to be carefully monitored. The level needs to be high enough to push the lithium into the cells, but not too high to pickle
the kidneys. However, with lithium orotate, it is not necessary to reach "therapeutic" blood levels, because it seems to go
right into the cells where it belongs, and where it can do its intended job. I think a more effective way to determine whether
lithium orotate is working, and whether an adequate dose has been prescribed, is to monitor the patient. Usually, asking them
how they feel is enough. The effects are evident to the patient, as well as to the people around him. I think doing a blood
test when taking lithium orotate is a waste of blood. Ward Dean, M.D. Lithium Orotate and Bipolar DisorderDear
Dr. Dean, I have a friend who has been diagnosed as bi-polar and treated accordingly with various anti-depressants, anti-psychotic
meds, etc. The side effects of these meds have been most unpleasant for her! She has ordered the lithium orotate from VRP;
took the info to her psychiatrist to request his review and to request that he work with her to transition from her meds to
the lithium orotate. His response, "Don't waste my time talking about nutrition!" Thus, our question to you is, how would
you recommend she best transition from the meds to the lithium orotate? Her meds are taken as follows: Risperdal - 4 mg taken
at bedtime Amandatine - 100 mg. taken at bedtime (this med is taken exclusively to control the Parkinson's type symptoms she
experiences as a side effect from taking the Risperdal. Sincerely, J. Halbert Dear Ms. Halbert, First, I would have
your friend consult a different psychiatrist. Lithium Orotate could probably be taken along with the Risperdal, as Lithium
Orotate is extremely safe, with no known adverse side effects or drug interactions. Risperdal, on the other hand, is a powerful
anti-psychotic medication with a significant side effect profile. I suggest that your friend work with a more open-minded
and sympathetic psychiatrist who can monitor her response to Lithium Orotate and try to reduce/discontinue Risperdal. Ward
Dean, M.D. Lithium Orotate and Manic DepressionI have been using the product Lithium Orotate for
approximately one year to control Manic-Depression. I started with two capsules daily and currently I am using six capsules
daily (2 per meal). I have my blood level monitored by my Doctor. With two capsules daily my blood level result was 0.25.
My level has never changed and it still shows 0.25 while I have used six capsules daily during the past four months. Is this
normal? Also is there an amount that could be toxic that I should be aware of? Are there side effects associated with this
Lithium? Could I be doing myself harm unknowingly by taking too much? I am not experiencing any apparent side effects. I feel
good and I believe I am doing well - no complaints from family, friends or co-workers. I am grateful for this product since
I discontinued Depakote and the prescribed Lithium almost destroyed me years ago. I am also grateful for the VRP newsletter
and your answers to these questions. Answer:Please
re-read the article on lithium orotate. Lithium's clinical effects depend upon its intracellular concentration. Unfortunately,
prescription forms of lithium (i.e., lithium citrate and lithium carbonate) are poorly transmitted across the cell membrane.
Thus, in order to drive the lithium into the cell, blood levels must be quite high. The blood levels required to obtain this
effect ("therapeutic blood levels") are very close to toxic levels. That is why prescription lithium has such a narrow "therapeutic
window." Lithium orotate, on the other hand, is very efficiently transported across cellular membranes. Consequently, lithium
orotate can be therapeutically effective, without significantly effecting lithium blood levels. Your physician is looking
for your lithium levels to climb into the "therapeutic range"--which is neither required nor desirable when lithium orotate
is used. Since, as you say, you are feeling well and are not experiencing any side effects, I would stay on your current dosage.
You might want to show my article on lithium orotate to your physician. Lithium Orotate vs Prescription
LithiumHi, Dr. Dean, I would like to replace my patient's 600 mg of prescription lithium with lithium orotate.
What is the equivalent dosage for 600 mg? Thank you Eugene Vasin, MD Dear Dr. Vasin, Lithium orotate is 20 times more
bio-available than lithium carbonate or lithium citrate. If this were the case in everyone, then 30 mg of lithium orotate
(about six capsules) would be the equivalent of of 600 mg of prescription lithium. However, your patient may not need that
much. I've seen patients respond to amazingly low doses. Nevertheless, I would start the patient on three capsules daily,
and adjust the dose upwards (if necessary) based on his clinical response. I know of one patient who was taking 14 capsules
daily without any signs of toxicity. His physician was fruitlessly trying to get his lithium into a "therapeutic range." Of
course, this is not necessary with lithium orotate. Let me know your experiences. WardLoose Stools from
Lithium OrotateDear Dr. Dean. I have recently been taking the Lithium Orotate twice a day - 120 mg = 4.8 mg elemental
- for chelation of any accumulated metals. I noticed after a few days that I was having loose stools, so I quit taking the
lithium for a couple of days. This cleared up the problem until I started taking the lithium again. Is this one of the side
effects of taking the litihium? I have not seen any mention of this in any literature I have read. RMDear Mr. M, Thanks
for the report. I have not previously heard of this being a side effect of lithium orotate, although it has been occasionally
reported with prescription forms of lithium. I'd suggest reducing the dosage to below what appears to be "bowel tolerance"
for you. Thanks again for letting me know of your experience. Ward Dean, M.D.NSAIDs and Lithium OrotateDear
Doctor, I take Lithium Orotate for a recurrent depressive illness and I should like to know if there is any danger to take
it together with Naproxen Natrium which -like other Non-Steroida Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)- risks raising the level
of Lithium in the blood. Thank you in advance and best regards. CDDear CD, With the superior bioavailability of Lithium
Orotate over the prescription forms of lithium, there is no concern for lithium toxicity. Since doses of Lithium Orotate that
are clinically effective are about 1/20th of the required prescription dose. Consequently, it is not necessary to monitor
blood levels. The dangerous part of taking Lithium Orotate with NSAIDs is not the lithium. I would be more concerned with
the NSAIDs themselves. Ward Dean, M.D.SSRIs, Bi-Polar Disorder, and Lithium OrotateDear Dr. Dean:
I have been taking Zoloft for about 3 years. During that time I have also tried Paxil, Wellbutrin and a few others. My Dr.
is now suggesting I take Prozac. I am fearful that taking anti-depressants is going to dumb me down. My Dr. has also suggested
I am bi-polar. I am moody and always have been, but my father was an alcoholic and my mother was busy working and in denial.
I'm not going for the sympathetic violin music, I just don't know if I can trust my Dr. as I feel she is very liberal in dispensing
anti-depressants. Today, I have weaned myself off Zoloft and must decide whether to take Prozac or Wellbutrin. Or can I truly
get off all medications and take 5HTP and or St. Johns Wort? I take DHEA every day and ginkgo and a few other odds and bits
of vitamins. I also take 3 mg. of Ativan every night, and I have for 6 years. Any suggestions? I cannot take L-carnitine or
phenylalanine as they do make me feel nuts and quite bitchy. Thank you for you time. SHDear SH, You might be able
to reduce your dependence on Wellbutrin by taking 5-HTP. However, if phenylalanine does not agree with you, St. Johns Wort
may not be appropriate for you. One of the mechanisms of St. Johns Wort is to act as a monoamine oxidase B inhibitor. This
would tend to increase the stimulatory catecholamines--as phenylalanine does. On the other hand, I'd suggest trying Lithium
Orotate. Lithium Orotate has antidepressant properties, and tends to level out those who are bipolar. Also, Lithium Orotate
is not only more effective but is also much safer and does not require the periodic blood tests and physician monitoring of
prescription forms of lithium. I would not be concerned about Prozac and the other SSRI's causing you to be "dumbed down"--they
can be helpful in many people when appropriately used. Ward Dean, M.D.

"I would have you remember which are our warmest months in Florida where the temperatures are going to be higher: July, August and September," says a Florida Department of Health official.That means, right now is the time Floridians need to be on high alert for Naegleria Fowleri, a brain-eating amoeba found in lakes, rivers, and hot springs...anywhere fresh water is stagnant and at a warmer temperature...like the case of Zachary Reyna, who fell into the water after kneeboarding in a ditch near his home.Now, Reyna is fighting for his life at Miami Children's Hospital."Parents need to be vigilant regarding, considering what exposures might happen during the course of their activities during the warm summer months," says Pat Dobbins, of the Florida Department of Health.The Florida Department of Health warns the amoeba can be fatal when infected water enters through the nose and goes to the brain."Because of the amount of inflammation, and the damages that occur through that process, it does destroy the brain tissue," says Dobbins.To lower the risk of infection, health officials say people should avoid swimming in freshwater when the water temperature is high and the water level is low. If you do swim in this kind of water, health officials say you should keep your nose above the water, use nose plugs, or keep your head out of the water completely.This amoeba is not found in saltwater and cannot survive in chlorine.

Contractors say they can build the new Ward County Office Building for about what architects estimated.
Bids were opened today for the new building that will be located directly across the street to the north of the current county courthouse.
Architect Don Davison had estimated the cost at about 15.3 million dollars - and the bids today were in that general neighborhood.
There were about ten bids total - some for all of the work and others for various portions of the project.
Davison says his company will now go over the complex bids to see which ones should be accepted.
(Don Davison, Architect) "The commissioners will meet again on Thursday morning at nine o'clock to discuss some more. That'll give us about a day to go through the bids and recommend something to the commissioners and then we'll discuss that on Thursday morning."
Voters approved the new office building as a way to relieve a space crunch faced by the county.

Blaze Bioscience is dedicated to developing products that assist physicians in their quest to improve the lives of cancer patients.
Blaze's Tumor Paint™ technology is designed to provide real-time, high-resolution intraoperative visualization of cancer cells, enabling better detection and more complete and precise surgical removal of cancer. The first product candidate, which is a combination of a targeting peptide and a fluorescent beacon, is under development for cancer surgery in multiple solid tumor types.
For years, surgeons have been searching for better intraoperative tools to more effectively treat cancer. When removing tumors, the ability to precisely identify them is of paramount importance. If too little tissue is removed, cancer cells are left behind to grow and spread. If too much tissue is removed, the patient may experience significant disabilities and reduced quality of life. Despite advances in intraoperative monitoring and image guidance, postoperative scans sometimes reveal bulky residual tumor that may have been resected safely if surgeons had improved tools to distinguish tumor tissue from normal tissue.
A team of neurosurgeons, engineers and biologists at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and Seattle Children's Hospital Research Institute, led by Dr. Jim Olson, has created a technology that illuminates cancer cells distinguishing tumors from healthy tissue. Tumor Paint™ technology will enable surgeons to see tumors "live" during surgery at greatly improved resolution over pre-operative MRI or direct intra-operative observation, giving the surgeons a better chance of removing all of the cancerous cells without injuring surrounding healthy tissue.

Their complete and honest devotion to their art was a perfect example to us all
Practice Diary Thierry Barbé
Today, I head the jury for the solo competition. The playing styles of the ten contestants display a range of different qualities. Some have a good round sound, with excellent vibrato. However, some vibratos are far too wide and slow, while some others are completely inexpressive. This reminds me how important sound quality is. A good combination of articulate bowing and vibrato reveals richness, imagination and sensibility, and it reflects our personalities.
I practise part of my recital programme today – Poradowski's Double Bass Concerto. I work on 3rds and chromatic details in the fast movement and the cadenza, playing the passages slowly, my fingers like hammers, before repeating them at tempo. I practise with the same intense vibrato I use in concerts, because it is good training for my muscles.
Today I perform Poradowski's Double Bass Trio with Catalin Rotaru and Irena Olkiewicz. I like playing with Catalin because we have the same conception of sound and singing phrases. I play with a French bow, he plays with a German one, but we achieve exactly the same phrasing. Very often, when I'm practising a particularly difficult phrase, I compare how it sounds using both grips. Often one will create the desired effect immediately where the other couldn't.
Today I practise four of Bartók's violin duets arranged for two double basses with Yung-chiao Wei. We play them in thumb position, and we have to practise slowly using all the strength we can muster in our left hands. Harmonic notes help a lot because we can relax the muscles of the left hand while we play them.
Today is the day of my recital, so in the morning I find some space to practise. My left hand is in good shape so I leave it as it is, but I decide to borrow a different bow from one of the exhibiting instrument dealers so that I can produce a more rounded sound; on Wednesday, when I practised Poradowski's trio, I had difficulty maintaining the unified, wide sound – like a good French horn – that I was looking for. Later in the morning I rehearse Zbinden's Double jeu for two double basses with Dan Styffe. We focus mainly on the rallentando passages, and, again, there is an amazing understanding between us. You can never underestimate the human factor!

DAY 5+6 - Saturday+Sunday, March 24th+25th 2012
Somewhere in Texas to The Woodlands, TX
We took our time driving through Texas towards The Woodlands, where we were to stay with my Aunt Nancy and her family. We stopped in this cute little German town called Fredricksburg, to take a quick stroll and explore . Later we stopped in Austin, Texas for some Torchys Tacos and some Intelligentsia coffee at Franks. Hot tacos and hot coffee were probably not the best idea for the hot hot day in a muggy car, but it was well worth it. mmmmmm tacos. This was the shortest drive of our trip, about 6 hours. After we got to my aunts house, we chilled for a bit and then went out to dinner with the whole family, then stayed up chatting with my aunt until about one in the morning.
The Woodlands, TX to Seale, AlabamaEven though we had a 13 hour drive ahead of us, we slept in and were very slow moving getting out the door. My aunt also had us pull out some of our totes so she could go through and buy art. As we were putting things away, she called one of her neighbors over who bought some art as well.
I think we finally got on the road about noon. We had another long hot drive across Texas, stopping in Baton Rouge at the Apple store to see if anything could be done about Sarah's computer. Sadly, it was dead and she had to buy herself a new one (which was in the plans over the next few months anyways, just really bad timing). We rolled into Seale, AL at about 2:30am (central time). Since we got in so late, my uncle let us sleep up at the house, rather than setting up a tent in the dark. The last few hours of the drive were hard, but totally worth it when we got to crawl into the uber comfy California King. -misha

Money doesn't exist, not really.
Money doesn't really exist. Money is just a claim check upon the capital resources of the real economy. It's just a virtual artifice built upon real output.
Therefore, I agree with TEDster Malcolm Gladwell in believing it is socially justified to raise the top marginal tax rate to something like 90%, so no one can make more than ~2 million per year, and also to raise the estate tax, capital gains taxes, and the effective corporate tax rate.
First, because speculators, bankers, and hedge fund managers are not socially productive at all, let alone enough to justify making what they make.
Second, because every human being is entitled to food, water, clothing, and education, because there is more than enough to go around - just because you work on Wall Street doesn't mean you can squander the (finite, but growing) capital production of society on luxury goods while people starve.
"Those who create phantom wealth, and those who are the beneficiaries of mutual funds or retirement funds invested in phantom wealth, may never realize that they are giving its holder a claim on the real wealth produced by others, and that phantom-wealth dollars created out of nothing dilute the claims of everyone else to the available stock of real wealth. They may also fail to realize that Wall Street and its international counterparts have created phantom-wealth claims far in excess of the value of all the world's real wealth, creating expectations of future security and comforts that can never be fulfilled."

Money doesn't really exist, but people do...think about it.

Oct 28 2011: The base premise is quite accurate. I worked in banking and quit it after refusing promotions etc. I tried working for a large American bank and then moved to a smaller European one. But the basic structure and the mechanism of financial markets is so grossly corrupted that its near impossible to find any meaningful purpose to working in a bank. Not only that, the lifestyle of bankers themselves can be very correctly described as unhealthy. No question that they have failed in their basic deliverable which is to deploy resources where available to where most efficiently used. banking no longer does that and bleeds money to the economy. Raising the tax to 90%, i am not sure about, I do think its fine to reward someone for adding genuine value and for everyone to have whatever motivates them to excel. I don't see why an apple or google, or someone else should not be able to make any sum of money if they produce genuine value. Carrot is important.
Oct 28 2011: while i agree with you, i would like to underline that it is not a problem with money. money does not cause the absurdities that are going on in the financial sector. rather, these corrupt entities, in cooperation with governments, are destroying money, which is essential to a functioning economy.

Survey opinion (Editor's note: This faculty survey has been completed and the results are available upon request from the ASWSC officers. The Signpost will print four articles covering the entire survey. This is part one.) "Some faculty believe it is beneath their status to present material on the students' level and understanding." This statement made by a faculty member here at Weber State is only one opinion yet it sympathizes with what the majority of professors surveyed expressed. The survey was conducted by the ASWSC Student Government Review Committee. The committee sent out questions concerning the faculty's feelings toward student achievement, grading, and class hours. The faculty members answered them and added comments as they saw fit. "Most students in your classes allocate a sufficient amount of study time to master subject material with a high degree of competence." Fifty per cent of the faculty surveyed disagreed with this statement. The problem seems to be, according to responses, blamed on several reasons. Preparation on the students part "Most students leave preparation to the 11th hour." "Most students study sufficiently to passs exams." Absentism is another problem J '. WILLIAM KUSTLER guest speaker for Thursday s noonconvocation. faculty reveais of students Standards seemed to be a gib complaint. Not only the student's standards but the institutions as well. , "Students do enough to get by." "I have altered class requirements to allow greatest subject mastery with minimum study time. There has been much effort on my part, but I am pleased with the results." "Students expect to learn by observing the instructor." "No average students: A or E, no C's, are problems. "Students have poor attitudes towards lengthy assignments." "Students have no idea that will need to compete with their college student in the 'real world'." "Performance is below that of other universities." "Students haven't grasped the meaning of a college education." "Standards are too lax to eliminate those who aren't interested.""Students allocate time in such a way that a high degree of competence in a low priorty." "School is a part time activity.""Low goals of the institution cause low performance by the students. "Students give minimal effort for maximum grade." When asked if "Most WSC students' academic achievement is motivated by course content and classroom presentation." "Students give minimal effort for maximum grade." When asked if "Most WSC students' academic achievement is motivated by course content and classroom presentation." Fifty seven per cent of the faculty agreed. The majority blamed the student. "How do I know - what motivates them?" "If the cause does not have money attached, they are not motivated; therefore, students are extremely practical." "Present emphasis is more on obtaining a degree than gaining knowledge." "There is a fear of failure more than a desire for success, few engage in learning." Twenty-five per cent of the professors have suggested the problem is not the student. "Good professors motivate students." "The classroom instructor has been much more committed to the instruction of the student than has the student been commiitted to the learning process. The exception has been the past few years with a faculty which has increasingly turned outside the institution for its rewards under a difficult and unsupportive administration. Now maybe this will change." "Best results are made with the best lecture presentation." Responses printed in this article are being made public for the student to analyze. Comments about faculty responses are welcome.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - An Athens man accused of dealing drugs has been convicted of murder in the stabbing death of a man prosecutors say was killed for snatching prescription pills.
The Athens Banner-Herald reports a jury Friday convicted 30-year-old James Maurice Hood in the 2011 slaying of Christopher Coon. The trial in Clarke County Superior Court lasted a week.
Police say Hood and his wife were selling the prescription painkiller oxycodone from their home when 26-year-old Coon was killed. They say Coon argued with the couple over the price of the pills when he snatched some and tried to leave. Prosecutors say Hood and his wife, Briana, stabbed Coon at least five times.
Briana Hood is also charged with murder and has yet to stand trial.
James Hood will be sentenced later.
