Introductory Press Conference Highlights (April 3, 2013 -- Titan Gym -- Fullerton, Calif.)

Former Arizona State associate head men's basketball coach and long-time college assistant Dedrique Taylor was appointed the 11th men's basketball head coach in Cal State Fullerton history, Athletic Director Jim Donovan announced on April 3, 2013.
"I think Dedrique is a perfect fit for the Cal State Fullerton program," Donovan said. "His ties to Southern California will help us immensely in our recruiting efforts and his experience in a major conference like the Pac-12 will serve him well in helping bring our program into the upper echelons of the Big West Conference and compete for championships."
Entering his second season at Cal State Fullerton, Taylor completed his first year at the helm of the program with a record of 11-20 as well as a 6-10 mark in Big West play. The Titans finished tied for sixth in the league standings, and posted a successful record of 8-6 at Titan Gym while struggling on the road (3-12). Fullerton lost 60 percent of its offense from the previous year, as seven of the 12 Fullerton players that saw action in 2014 had never worn a Titan jersey before.
Titan guard Michael Williams was named to the Big West Conference second team, while he was also named the conference Newcomer of the Year. Alex Harris garnered Big West honorable mentional accolades.
Season highlights included Taylor earning his first win as a head coach after the Titans defeated Montana State, 84-55, in Bozeman, Mont., on Nov. 9 in the team's season opener. Taylor is the fifth Titan head coach to win his first game at Cal State Fullerton.
Fullerton opened Big West play with a 78-73 win over UC Riverside, and other significant wins included a 74-72 victory against UC Santa Barbara on Jan. 25 at Titan Gym as the Gauchos finished second in the league standings. In addition, Fullerton overcame a 14-point deficit and shot a season-high 56.4 percent from the floor in an 84-76 win over Long Beach State as the 49ers finished third in the league standings.
Named as one of the top 25 assistant coaches in the nation by CollegeInsider.com in 2010, Taylor spent the seven seasons (2007-13) helping rebuild the Sun Devils' program, leading ASU to four 20-win seasons, including a trip to the NCAA Second Round in 2008-09 with a 25-10 overall record -- the most victories for the program since 1974-75 and the second of three-straight 20-win seasons for Arizona State, something that hadn't happened since 1961-62. He was elevated to the position of associate head coach in the spring of 2010.
In 2012-13, the Sun Devils finished 22-13 and 10-10 in the Pacific-12 Conference, advancing to the second round of the National Invitational Tournament with a win over Detroit and a narrow three-point loss on the road at Baylor.
In all, Arizona State was 120-109 (.524) in his seven seasons.
"I am really excited for Coach Taylor to become a head coach
in the Southern California area. In my time while being recruited
to and at Arizona State, he was very important to my development as
a player, and he will do a great job in connecting with each
player. He is a good friend of my family, and I am excited to
follow the Titan program. Cal State Fullerton has hired an
excellent coach for its players, both now and in the
-- James Harden
Arizona State Guard (2007-09)
A native Californian, Taylor joined the Sun Devils' program after spending two seasons as Nevada, helping the Wolf Pack to a 27-6 overall record and a third-straight NCAA Tournament in 2005-06. While in Reno, he coached a pair of forwards to All-Western Athletic Conference honors, including two-time WAC Player of the Year Nick Fazekas, and helped Nevada to 52 wins in his two seasons.
Prior to that, Taylor also spent two seasons as an assistant at Portland State (2002-04) and one season apiece at Loyola Marymount (2001-02) and Big West Conference rival UC Davis (2000-01).
As a player, Taylor began his career at Kings River Community College (now Reedley College) out of Pomona High School in 1993-94, helping his team reach the "Elite Eight" and "Final Four" in the California Junior College state playoffs. He then transferred to Armstrong Atlantic State in Savannah, Georgia, for the 1994-95 season, helping the Pirates to the most wins in school history to that point and a trip to the NCAA Division II "Sweet 16."
He finished his career at UC Davis, playing two seasons (1996-97), and helping the Aggies to a 43-16 overall record and a pair of trips to the second round of the NCAA Regional Tournament. He graduated from UC Davis with a degree in sociology and organizational studies in 1997 and earned a master's degree in sports administration from the United States Sports Academy in 2000.
"I would like to thank Jim Donovan and the selection committee for believing in my vision for Titan Basketball," Taylor said. "My coaching journey has brought me to a place I call home, and I value that immensely. I look forward to positively impacting the lives of the young men that are currently in the program and the lives of future Titans as well. Together we will represent Fullerton with pride."
Cal State Fullerton Athletic Director Jim Donovan -
Opening Remarks
"He hails from Pomona and he's coming home. He had a phenomenal interview. Full of energy. At the end of the interview, he left most of the selection committee with goosebumps because he said, in closing, 'This is my destiny. I'm coming home. I'm going to lead this program and we're going to go places.' We are so very pleased to have someone of his character."
Head Men's Basketball Coach Dedrique Taylor -
Opening Remarks
"First and foremost, I'd like to thank Jim Donovan and the committee for the opportunity, for trusting me and the vision I have for this program. I am extremely excited about the opportunity that we have before us."
"I'm looking forward to working hand-in-hand with the administration here and the rest of the people on campus to put Cal State Fullerton as a university, as well as an athletic department, on a different stage -- on a stage that's never been seen -- and the only way we can do that is if everybody is moving in the same direction and that direction is graduation and winning basketball games."
"Our immediate goal is to continue the educational mission of the largest university in the State of California. Deliver the student-athletes one of the best experiences of their lives. That's what college is all about. I'm looking forward to being a huge part in teaching life lessons through this game we call basketball. It's taken me across the world. I've met people that I didn't even know, obviously, existed, but opportunities that have come because of this game I am anxious to share with the young men that I will encounter on a daily basis… not only just our team, but in our community."
"A big part of me being so excited about having the chance to come home is because I represent the local community here. I'm from here. I grew up playing open gym in this very gym. I spent my summers trying to hone what really small skills I had in this gym. This place has always been special to me because of that."
"We have an opportunity, from this stage, from my position, to impact and positively affect the lives of those we come in contact with and that's what drives me. That's what motivates me and I'm excited to share that vision with all of you in this room and, most important, the student-athletes that are here now, the past athletes that have come through here, and the ones that will come through the doors as prospective student-athletes."
"I would be remiss if I didn't mention the past of Titan basketball. Coach George McQuarn. Cedric Ceballos. Bruce Bowen. All of those names are guys that we will go back and put our arms around. It's important to understand the history of what we had to get where we're going as we move forward. Those guys will be an integral part of what we're trying do as well as the greater community here."
"From a reciting standpoint, obviously, Southern California is a huge hotbed for us and we plan to take advantage of that and some of the relationships we have. Recruiting to me is just a polished word for 'relationships.' People will help who they are friends with and who they trust. Here at Cal State Fullerton, I have already met multiple people who understand that and share that vision. I am looking forward to walking around in the community and expressing that care and concern and let people know that that is present here at Cal State Fullerton and we're looking forward to it being a major pillar in our basketball program."
"Our style of play, everybody wants to know, 'What are you going to do? How are you going to play?' Well, guess what, we are going to get up and down and move around. We are going to have some fun. We are going to try to play as fast as we can play good. I don't want to be a bunch of wild banshees running around out here, but I want to get up and down the floor. I want our guys to understand that the first six seconds of the shot clock are theirs. If we rebound and defend, I'm giving them six seconds to go and get a quick bucket. If not, we do some different things and I'll control the next part of the shot clock and the last part of the shot clock, we'll put guys into positions where we think they can have success."
On academics...
"My academic resume i have to credit my parents. My dad is a long-time educator, my mom is a former English teacher… that's all I knew, was education. I didn't have much of a choice in terms of getting a degree. So that's the same thing I carry with me and the same expectations I have. I got a master's degree because I was trying to be a professional student. I had no idea what I was going to do with my life. Now, I understand why I got it. I understand why I went through that process. When I was coming up, having a college degree made you a little bit different. Nowadays, having a master's separates you just a little bit. And they need to understand that education is one of the pertinent ways to success. And it's important that they understand that, without academics, there's nothing you can do on this floor. There's very little you can do in life. As far as our program is concerned, character is something that is extremely important to me, and I will never sacrifice character for anything else. Going to class, being a good person, trying to do what's right, those are the things that are important. I think if you live by those three tenants, you can have a long successful life. For us, moving forward, academics is going to be something that we are going to have to wrap our arms around and understand that Cal State Fullerton doesn't stand for anything but your best in the classroom. I didn't say you always have to have an 'A,' I said your best. Trust me, I've had my share of one-legged 'A's' and 'D's,' but I gave it everything I had, and I'm proud of 'F's' and 'D's.' Once again, that's a part of the struggle. That's a part of the process. You have to go through those things to get to where you're trying to go. It's important for guys to understand that I stand before you with a masters for a reason. It's to give you motivation. It's to give you direction. It's to give you guidance and leadership, expectations. Academics will be something that Dr. Meredith Basil and I will get together and get going on extremely quickly. There's going to be a lot of structure, especially early. Guys have to earn the right to get off the study table. We're going to have two hours of study hall a day, four times a week. It's coming. Academics are something that allows us to be where we are so the structure is going to be extremely important."
On his years at Arizona State and his impact on
"Once again, recruiting to me is just a polished word for 'relationships.' When I went to Arizona State, I didn't know Coach (Herb) Sendek. We had some mutual friends that connected us and we had a chance to forge a relationship that will last me a lifetime. The lessons learned, the details. From a recruiting specific standpoint, I'm from here, I want all of our team to understand that going out in the community, it's a privilege to represent Cal State Fullerton. What I thought we did the best at Arizona State, was we tried to establish a brand. So, what I'd like to try and do here is establish a brand here so that when Cal State Fullerton walks into the gym, people need to know that there must be a high-character, tough, skilled player in the gym that we want him. That's what we want to be the pillars of our program."
On building the program on four-year players versus
"You know, I'd like to build from the ground-up, but I think it's imperative that we try to be as successful as possible as quick as possible. I think right now everything is on the table. Trying to create a hodgepodge of talent immediately, we have some opportunities to affect that. I'd like to build it through high school players and supplement it with junior college players, prep school players, and transfers but, the beauty of Cal State Fullerton, because of the latitude academically, you can appeal to a bunch of different players from all over the world. There are multiple opportunities for guys to come here and get a wealth of experience academically, and I want to take advantage of that because, I think, it allows you to recruit different types of people, whether they be high school players, junior college players, international players. So, right now, I'm not going to say we're going to get into any one thing specifically. We're going to be academic-driven so that guys that are on our campus, they understand the significance of going to class, but they also understand how we are going to play and buy into it. From that standpoint, right now, we're going to be a little bit of everything but, eventually, I'd like to be a 'high school' program as the emphasis."
On his goals for his first season…
"I think, as you look at our game of basketball, skill, nowadays, is a commonality. Everybody has a skill set at a pretty high level. I think the intangibles that we have, I've gotten away from, are energy, effort, and execution. That's what I would like to affect starting Monday when we meet as a team. Our effort has to improve just 10 percent in every area of your life. Academics, 10 percent more. In the weight room with 10 percent better effort. In your focus, just a 10 percent better effort. Those are the things that really want to immediately affect change in is just our effort, our energy, and playing hard, and then, once again, establishing that brand that we're going to play hard every single night, no matter who we're playing. And our opponent will feel that. That's something that we're excited about, and then, I think we can get into the 'X' and 'O' part of it."
On what kind of defense fans can expect…
"I grew up on the Lakers and the Lakers played a pretty fast brand of basketball that started with the defensive effort. I think what I'd like to do is get after it and pressure the ball and really try to take teams out of their initial options. If we can do that, if we can make them go to their second or third options by being pressure-based, physical, and move, I think we'll be able to affect change with our style of play. Defensively, I want to be man-to-man, I want to press, I'd also like to employ a zone defense that we can do a lot of things with, extend it and press out of it, but I want to be based on a man-to-man, pressure, fundamentally sound defensive presence."

November 5, 2010
The 2010 mid-term elections will require a change in strategy when it comes to legislation important to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) employees. For the next several weeks, a lame-duck Congress will determine what issues will be addressed before the House of Representatives leadership changes in January. President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have urged Congress to promote bipartisanship in order to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT) as part of the National Defense Authorization Act.
Other pieces of legislations including the Employment Non Discrimination Act (ENDA), the Tax Equity for Health Beneficiaries Act, the Family and Medical Leave Inclusion Act, the Domestic Partners Benefits and Obligations Act (DPBO), the Uniting American Families Act (UAFA), repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and the Safe Schools Improvement Act appear to have little realistic chance of becoming law by year end. The likelihood of moving any of these bills in the newly reconfigured Congress is daunting.
Taking action
The election results make it all the more crucial to take action however we can in the next several weeks. It is vital, for example, that constituents call their Senators now not only to reinforce the importance of repealing DADT before year end but also to ask your Senator to co-sponsor comprehensive immigration reform that includes UAFA.
The good news for moving forward
The good news is that we have never had to rely on legislation to make progress on workplace equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees and their friends and family. Corporate leadership has long provided substantial progress on issues of workplace equality for our community in the absence of federal action. Of course, federal legislation such as ENDA and DPBO would help extend progress to more workplaces faster. Other important legislation would remove obstacles imbedded in federal laws that make it difficult, costly or impossible for employers to treat all of their employees equally.
Providing leadership
Out & Equal's constituents - employee resource groups, human resources and diversity & inclusion professionals, and executives who identify as or are allies for lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender leaders at large multinational corporations - are a powerful and influential base of support. It is a base that has achieved significant gains within their own U.S. workplaces in the absence of federal legislation and has begun to look beyond the U.S. in the workplace equality movement. The leadership role for this group is to:

bought this for my trailer to winch on ATVs and light vehicles. First time I used it the piece of junk siezed up while spooling the line OUT! I kept tension on the line while spooling it out. Temperature was only about 15 degrees. I had a 100% charged deep cycle battery and had the truck running to maintain battery charge while I use the winch. Should not have overheated and siezed up while spooling line out. Only got 12 feet of line out before it seized. unfortunatly i could not return it to the store as it was out of warranty by the time I needed it.

Loading a quad
By Brian E.
from San Diego, CA
About Me Truck Enthusiast
I use this winch to pull my quad up into the bed of my truck. It works GREAT.
Worth the money
By Tool Jay
from Sweet Home, Oregon
I purchased this winch to use as the dumping actuator on a garden wagon that I built. I have hauled and dumped very heavy loads with it and it has performed very well. On the heaviest loads it does grumble a bit but then it is supposed to be 3000 lbs of "rolling" weight rather than picking straight up as I do. I often ask more from my tools than the "design" calls for and this one performs well.
I would buy this product again and again
By Dhouse
from Coulterville, California
It is easy to overtighten this break for the out feed of the wench but, it is very useful read your manual carefully and it will serve you well. I burnt up my first one by overtightening the break, bought another because there are few parts to it and it is powerfull. Haven't seen a car or truck yet it can't pull up on my flatbed. Very Nice and portable!

from Denver, Colorado
About Me Master Electrican
I use this winch to pull wire through conduit in the electrical field. I pulled 4 350MCM copper conductors through a 3" conduit about 150'. It sets up easy and very portable any where in a building. All you need is a 12volt battery and a mounting platform. I made the platform myself.
Works well, but very slow
By 3rdpig
from Scottsdale, Arizona
About Me Auto Enthusiast, Mechanic, Truck Enthusiast
I needed a winch to move a non running, classic car from an old building to a new one. A small incline was involved and about 50 feet towing. Since I was alone I needed a winch and couldn't get a vehicle with a winch into position. This little unit along with a HF jump box, towed it up the hill, over the 4" lip and onto the new concrete slab and into the building without a hitch. Slow but inexpensive and effective. Despite having a big winch on the front of my truck I'll be keeping this handy little unit for those cramped jobs where I need light towing and speed isn't a requirement.
Hauls a boat
By Mr. Tinkerer

About Me Mechanic, Truck Enthusiast
Had to take apart the plastic cover to get to the mounting bracket (Internal). Made some cuts and filing to get it to mount on my trailer post and re-installed the cover.Un-screwing the cap every time cable is needed to release the clutch is a pain with the winch works ok. Thinking of buying another for a snowmobile trailer.Made wiring harness connector to plug into my RV plug on the truck, works well. No need to run large cables.

Have used it for two seasons pulling my 5000+lb. boat out of the water at least three times a month. Pin connector on the remote control plug connector pulled out. However, good winch for the money spent.

Keith is trying to reassure the woman he is dating after he decided not to introduce her to his family at Thanksgiving. They are in a new relationship and things were not at the "meet the family" stage…according to him. She is seeing this as rejection and is now questioning everything and second guessing her feelings about him.
I feel for her, I really do, but she seems to be overreacting and over analyzing the situation. Shocking, right? So yeah, women are known to do this and it isn't really fair. When Keith is actually being a good guy by taking things slow and not giving her false hope, she is letting insecurities show.
Would it bother you if the person you were dating has yet to introduce you to his inner circle of family/friends? I remember meeting families really early in relationships, but I didn't think that was a sign of how much the guy liked me. Is meeting the family still viewed as a big deal like it was back in the day?

Good Morin,
I don't see the big deal why she has to wait, is his family special–are they afraid of the common people walking around? If they are in a relationship she should of met someone!! So what is he afraid of? If they are out and about and his family is also in the same place, is he going to push her away and run because they are not "at that stage yet".. honestly i don't know what the big deal is. Grow-up. And she doesn't need to get all up-set over it either–it might be a blessing she hasn't met the family

I think that we don't have enough information to make a decision regarding this situation. How long have they been together? Are they smashing? Does his family live in the same city and is he close to them? All of those things would be factors for me re: meeting the family.
With the hubs, I met his family when we were still friends, so it was a non-issue. I was actually better friends with my SILs than I was with him.

I would also want to know how long they had been together. If they have been dating for two months, no big deal; however, if they have been dating for two years, then that is cause for concern.

I think the guy in today's post need to grow up. No such thing as "meet the parents" stage. Seriously. We're all adults. I hate to lean on it but here I go again. If you can interact and call yourself in a relationship, if we're intimate and doing things all together and stuff, THAT IS THE MEET THE PARENTS STAGE…IJs. This woman should get a clue.
Personally, I don't see the hype and "having to wait" to meet the parents. I'm not on stage for anyone, not even my boo Not in this regard. All of this reeks of "eons ago." It's like (seeing through this dude's eyes), getting to the "meet the parents" stage translates: "You done good!!" Ummm, NOT!
How I see it now? It's just an introduction. I'm not one either that's sweating meeting folks and stuff but I'm offended if you feel the need to "wait and see." If we're interacting and your family (as well as mine) is apart of your life, it should be a given that I'm going to meet some folks. I ain't sticking around to tapdance and if I do it good enough, THEEEEN I get the priviledge of meeting your innercircle. Nuh uh. That's retarded. Don't get me wrong, if you're happy to bring me into the fold, for lack of a better term, so am I. But to hold off for whatever reason is whack.
If I was the lady in today's post, I would be offended. Period…point blank. I would tell him too. I would also want to know what's the issue??? If I'm apart of your life then I'm apart of it…all of it. Not "a part" but "apart"…IJS I would want to know "what are we waiting on??" While it's not that deep if I do or don't, because of his attitude on sensoring me, this would be a dealbreaker if he couldn't hurry up and "splain" himself.

lol. celisea – you said a mouthful. I've actually had guys tell me "I can't wait for you to meet so and so" and in my mind I was thinking "to heck with so and so". I made a choice to live away from my own family and I'm not overly pressed to jump into the middle of someone else's. just not my thing. I think a lot of guys dangle that "meet the friends/family" in front of women like it's a golden carrot stick. like meeting the family is the prize. it means you're in there. I don't get it. I can take them or leave them.

disco/C~ But don't you think that if you're going to be with someone in the long term you need to be able to associate with their friends/family and they with yours? Holidays, family reunions, christenings, etc. would be very awkward if none of the family could tolerate each other… IJS.
November 27th, 2012

Good morning,
I would say when it comes to dudes that meeting the family is sort of a big deal.
November 27th, 2012
9:46 am
disco – I agree that it's used like some kind of prize. Women actually feel it's a sign…..lol Get on away from me with that. Don't get me wrong, I'm cool meeting your folks, but don't act like it's the prize before the grand prize. There's not been a one where I didn't meet his folks/inner circle.

CC – My only issue is having to tapdance for getting the honor. We're together? Then why not? What are we waiting on? If it's a FWB thing, then no, but "relationship", what more performing is there to be done? IJS

Dang Comon, it's only Tuesday (lol).
Meet the family…if I'm good enough for you date and things are good with us, why can't I meet your folk? Not asking for your hand in marriage, just meeting people who care about you. If we're just meeting behind closed doors, then I understand!
O/T: I had a dream about my neighbor (who I'm a little upset at) and a camel in my cul-de-sac. Any significance???
November 27th, 2012

I'm still tryna get to work…..sigh
November 27th, 2012

CC – like I said, i don't even see my own family on the regular. have only seen my son, mother and niece this year and the year is about gone.
leggs –
To dream of having a good neighbor signifies enjoyment and tranquility at home. If you dream of an angry or unfriendly neighbor, then it signifies dissension and disappointment. There is a waking issue that you need to address with your neighbor. Alternatively, the dream could mean relocation from your home. Perhaps you are in need of a change of scenery.
To see a camel in your dream denotes that you need to be more conservative; you are carrying too many responsibilities, burdens and problems on your shoulders. Consider the common phrase, "the straw that broke the camel's back". You tend to hold on and cling on to your emotions instead of expressing and releasing them. Learn to forgive and forget. Alternatively, the camel represents your stamina.
To dream that you are petting a camel indicates that you are ready to let go of some of the burdens, responsibilities or emotional baggage that you are carrying around.
November 27th, 2012
10:04 am
To see this beast of burden, signifies that you will entertain great patience and fortitude in time of almost unbearable anguish and failures that will seemingly sweep every vestige of hope from you.
To own a camel, is a sign that you will possess rich mining property.
To see a herd of camels on the desert, denotes assistance when all human aid seems at a low ebb, and of sickness from which you will arise, contrary to all expectations.
To see your neighbors in your dreams, denotes many profitable hours will be lost in useless strife and gossip. If they appear sad, or angry, it foretells dissensions and quarrels.
There was nothing for cul-de-sac, but for street:
To dream that you are walking in a street, foretells ill luck and worries. You will almost despair of reaching the goal you have set up in your aspirations. To be in a familiar street in a distant city, and it appears dark, you will make a journey soon, which will not afford the profit or pleasure contemplated. If the street is brilliantly lighted, you will engage in pleasure, which will quickly pass, leaving no comfort.
To pass down a street and feel alarmed lest a thug attack you, denotes that you are venturing upon dangerous ground in advancing your pleasure or business

Early on in a relationship or courtship, I don't expect to have you trotting me all around your family. I may not want to meet them before I know I want more with you anyway. lol It was a while before I met the beau's family but that's mostly due to the fact that they live in Miami…long way from here.
November 27th, 2012
10:09 am
good day, good people.
November 27th, 2012
10:15 am
Disco, we must have been sent down at the same time because I could care less if the family likes me, it's how my s/o feels about me that matters.
MsAtl, I'd rather go back in time than forward Not trying to rush my life away
Comon, on the week dragging by, it's all in your mind!
November 27th, 2012
10:15 am
i'm in no hurry to meet your people but if i feel like you don't WANT me to meet them, then we have a prob.
yay! we have dream interpreters on the blog. too bad i never remember mine.
November 27th, 2012
10:18 am
disco ~ this is the neighbor that moved out because her live-in boyfriend told her he doesn't ever want to marry her or anyone else. My dissension with her is her rudeness over Thanksgiving and not informing me of her plans like she said she would. Nothing major. I was surprised she popped in my dreams and I remembered it. But, how can someone forget about dreaming about a camel.
Thanks for the interpretations. disco ~ I like your 2nd para. Comon ~ your 1st para speaks as well.
November 27th, 2012
10:25 am
S/H – CC is not imagining things, it is not all in her mind. I totally agree that this week is taking it's time to get by. you'd think I was waiting on the first of the month. lol.
November 27th, 2012
10:26 am
I'm with you, SlimNu. Don't need to meet early on in the relationship, but as our relationship develops and I see that you spend quite a bit of time with your family and I'm never invited, then like czB stated, Houston, We Have a Problem!
November 27th, 2012
10:28 am
Exactly……no rush, no biggie…..until you don't want me to..
November 27th, 2012
10:29 am
Leggs – So according their interpretations, does anything ring true for you regarding your dreams…outside of the obvious one about the neighbor?
November 27th, 2012

i'm in no hurry to meet your people but if i feel like you don't WANT me to meet them, then we have a prob.

Hey Ladies and Gents: and Dream Interpreters
Meeting the Parents/Family is a Significant Step, especially if this is a younger man, never married, and whatnot:
I come from one of those Old School, tight knit, faithful families. I was brought up indirectly to not bring any woman around my family that I did not have intnentions on maintaining a relationship with. As I stated, no one ever said don't do it, but you know. Once a woman meets your mother, the dynamics of your relationship will change, there will be an additional pressure to love or leave her depending on Mama's feel for the lady. Of course what you think is the only thing that really matters, but if you are ready for people to be in the peripheral vision of your relationship, don't introduce yet.
Be back in a minute
November 27th, 2012

My holiday was awesome! A success~ Thanks for asking! How was yours beyond refreshing! It was so refreshing getting away and being among his family now mine
Yup Jake great post! I was part of cooking dinner and made some key dishes and it was a success! I received some warm messages that made me cry! Genuine old school folks rock!
Yes I am happy!
November 27th, 2012
10:39 am
hey jake – I get your post but, in my opinion, it ties in with what I said earlier about guys dangling it in front of a chick like it's a prize. there are a lot of women who feel like meeting the parents (friends/other family members) means she is "special". maybe she is, maybe she isn't. just saying, me, myself, personally – I'm not pressed. I know guys whose friends/family are in on the "game". you know the guy who brings one chick by for the barbecue on Saturday and a different chick by for Sunday dinner.
November 27th, 2012
10:41 am
Jake I taking meeting a mother more seriously than I did in college! it was special and she gave me a gift that was priceless along with something of value! Plus she gave me some pointers about her son that I value!
November 27th, 2012
10:41 am
disco~ Glad to know it's not all in my head! Whew! (Consciously ignoring S/H right now…)
Leggs~ While I'm glad you appreciate the interpretation, not my words. It's from a website I use to interpret my dreams and it has usually been pretty spot on.
Here you go: http://nickm.com/dreams/

10:43 am
Lad – Good for you!! Glad to know it went well
I had a FANTAB time. There were ten of us that went. Everybody got along really well. Everybody was cool in whatever place the group decided to venture. That was my first time visiting, can you believe it? I will definitely like to go again I wasn't sure about going with such a nice sized group as some of them I knew but never spent time away with them. But, like I said overall it was great. I can't remember the last time I laughed so much. I was told Saturday night I had the "night giggles." It was all good

10:57 am
Disco, Comon, time is the same regardless of where you are! 60 seconds is 60 seconds, mind over mater! Discovered this while laying on the beach working on my tan, was thinking man time sure is flying by! then thought time isn't going by any faster here than it would be if I was at work! seems like the clock stopped then, now all days are the same!
Lady, January's snow,

Chevron Baby Blanket
If you lived through the 60s and 70s perhaps you have vivid memories of a chevron afghan. Perhaps you appreciated it at the time; were indifferent to it in the 80s; despised it in the 90s; and have developed a deep affection for it over the past decade, itchy acrylic, zany colors and all!
This knitted Chevron Baby Blanket makes some accommodations both for modernity and for babies. Instead of hard-to-cuddle acrylic, this 100% cotton blanket is as deep and soft and cozy as a cloud. And instead of fast food orange and kitchen appliance avocado, this version is a delicate spectrum of natural colors just right for babies!
The next generation of chevron blankets starts with Blue Sky Cotton. Loosely spun into a uniquely cozy cotton, this is one of our very favorite baby blanket yarns. For delicate skin, it's non-allergenic cotton, and for busy parents, it's machine washable (yay!).
The Materials
- 7 skeins of Blue Sky's Worsted Cotton, 100% cotton
- A US #11, 24 or 32 inch circular needle
Get all 7 skein of Worsted Cotton in one place with our Yarn for Chevron Baby Blanket kit. It comes in two pretty colorways:
These colors, from the top, are Lemongrass, Lemonade, Bone, Tulip, Drift, Sleet, and Graphite.
These colors, from the top, are Indigo, Mediterranean, Caribbean, Tulip, Drift, Sleet and Ash.
The Pattern
3 stitches = 1 inch in garter stitch with yarn doubled
Finished Size
26 x 33 inches
For this pattern you'll use the Blue Sky Cotton doubled. The best way to double yarn is to pull one strand from the inside of the ball and one strand from the outside. If you don't have a swift and ball winder to wind a center-pull ball, never fear, you can do it by hand! Click here for a great video that shows you how!
If you want to change the sizing or use this stitch pattern for a different project, just cast on a multiple of 14 plus 2 stitches.
With the Lemongrass (doubled!), cast on 100 stitches. (Try not to leave too long a tail when you cast on. You'll probably need the entire skein to finish the first stripe. If you end up one row short, don't worry! No one will notice!)
**Row 1 (right side): K1, ssk, *k10, k2tog, ssk, repeat from * to last 13 stitches, k10, k2tog, k1. (86 stitches)
Row 2 (wrong side): K6, *knit into front and back (kfb) 2 times, k10, repeat from * to last 8 stitches, kfb 2 times, k6. (100 stitches)
Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until you have knit the entire skein (which should be nine more times).***
Change to the Lemonade color and repeat from ** to ***.
Change to the Bone color and repeat from ** to ***.
Continue in this pattern for the next three colors, changing colors at the end of each skein. The next color will be Tulip, followed by Drift, and then Sleet.
For the final color (Graphite), repeat Rows 1 and 2 until you have about 8 yards of yarn left (or nine times). Work Row 1 one more time.
Bind Off Row: Bind off 5 stitches, *(knit into the next stitch and leave the stitch on the left needle, bind off 1 stitch, knit into the back of the stitch, let the stitch off the left needle, bind off 1 stitch) 2 times, bind off 10 stitches, repeat from * to last 8 stitches, (knit into the next stitch and leave the stitch on the left needle, bind off 1 stitch, knit into the back of the stitch, let the stitch off the left needle, bind off 1 stitch) 2 times, bind off 6 stitches, pull the yarn through the last stitch.
Weave in the ends and you're all done!
160 Responses to Chevron Baby Blanket
finally finished! 2 sets of yarn, 142 stitches came out to a blanket 36×54!
Do you mind helping with color choice? I am making 2 blankets for boy/girl twins. The color palate for their room is denim, orange and deep red. I would like the blankets to co-ordinate, but also want one to be very much for a girl, and one very much for a boy. Any suggestions? Help! and thanks! I can't get enough of your beautiful web site!
Hi Giannina,
Sure, we love assignments like this! Here's what we came up with for the girl version: True Red, Poppy, Dandelion, Lemonade, Drift, Sleet and Ash. And for the boy: Indigo, Periwinkle, Sky, Drift, Tulip, Dandelion and Poppy.
Or, if you feel like you want to talk in person to someone who has eyes on the yarn, please feel free to call either our New York City store or our California warehouse. This link has the phone numbers and hours: http://www.purlsoho.com/purl/contact
Thanks so much for your question; we're all very excited about twin Chevron Blankets!
I've started this blanket and I'm getting the correct gauge. However, I'm finished with the first skein and have only completed 16 rows (4.5 inches). Do I just continue with the other colors at 16 rows ? Should I add an eighth color? Thanks for your help. Love the pattern.
I am just finishing up my second baby blanket in this pattern (on the last stripe). Per your suggestion I used Thistle, Orchid, Shell and Tulip but I repeated Shell, Orchid and Thistle….It has turned out beautiful……
I am now looking to make another one for my niece and the colors that have been picked for the baby are coral and mint…..Blue Sky Alpaca does not have a good coral. I saw that Spud & Chloe Outer was suggested as a substitute. Outer has the coral but not the mint…… Do you have another suggestion for a yarn to substitute the Blue Sky? Your suggestions are much appreciated…..Thank you!!
Thank you so much, Whitney!! Thanks for the advice and the pattern!! Love it!!
I'm a fairly new knitter and I have had no trouble completing most of this project. I am at the binding off point and I could use some help. I don't want to mess it up after I've done so well! Could someone please explain to me what I am supposed to do in order to bind off? I'm having a little trouble understanding the instructions as like I said I'm fairly new at this! Thank you

17 thoughts on "Redleg Nation Store"
I am more inclined to buy these for my grand kids who are also Reds fans. The size chart makes me think that these are all adult sizes. I have 10 grand children ages 5 through 11. Any suggestion's?
I might also add that guessing about the ages of the posters on RLN that they also have grand-children. Grand parents are more likely to buy the kids and the kids parents something like this because then they all get something from gramps and they can all wear them to the game when they attend as a family.
What would you charge me for an international order? Philippines
I just made an order of "Last At Bat" shipping to Taiwan without noticing the international shipping fee.
It seems it would cost $80 for shipping which is too much for me.
May I cancel the order ?
Sorry for making any trouble.
The next game I'm going to is the 28th. If I order now would it be possible to have it by then?
I do live in Ohio
At this moment I am ready to do my breakfast, later than having my
breakfast coming yet again to read additional news.

CHICAGO — Doug Calvert, former CEO of Cannon Hygiene, Inc., has recently stepped down as the company's top executive officer after the firm was acquired by another company, according to a press release.
Cannon Hygiene's parent company invented the feminine hygiene disposal unit and exchange system over 50 years ago. The company was recently selected by vacuum manufacturer Dyson to distribute the Dyson Airblade Hand Dryer.
Speaking before a small business group in Chicago, Calvert said the recent acquisition was the result of Cannon Hygiene's significant growth over the past three years.
Calvert believes focusing on his customers, employees, and "doing the right thing"—even in an uncertain economy—are the key reasons for his success.
"These are always good business practices that can also lead to growth," he says. "In our case it was even stronger because everyone working at our Atlanta office also believes in these same principles."
In addition to these principles, Calvert offers the following suggestions to Jansan industry executives:
- Develop a company "soul." This is what differentiates your company from your competitors.
- Heart-based management. This is similar to doing the right thing, but in broader terms means doing whatever is proper and ethical. Follow this principle regardless of the economic ramifications and instill these beliefs in your staff as well.
- Directly deal with challenges. "You can't cross a sea by just staring at the water," says Calvert. "Focus on meeting and overcoming the challenge, and only dwell on why it happened [and] if it can be prevented from happening again in the future."
- Love your business. The enthusiasm for a company and its products starts at the top. "Your love for your company spreads to employees and on to your customers," he says.
Calvert, who has already begun investigating new opportunities, has been in the Jansan industry for 30 years, starting with such well-known firms as S.C. Johnson and Kimberly-Clark.
"When you study the founders of these companies, you find they all knew and practiced these same principles," notes Calvert. "No matter what the economy, [these companies] are as strong as ever today."

The L.A. MOCA drama in GIFs →
Once there was a beautiful princess named MOCA. She had a great collection but she wasn't very good at managing her money. Soon, she was flat broke.
Across town there was a guy named LACMA:
He was a good guy, and a hard worker, but his collections weren't as sexy as…
Tonight I went to the gas station by my apartment to buy some late night snacks. The gas station is just off of the Las Vegas Strip, so it gets a lot of foot traffic, especially late at night. As I was paying for my snacks, a visibly drunk woman in tribal print leggings burst through the doors, sidled up to the counter, and demanded to know if they had a restroom.
"Yeah," said the clerk. "Five dollars."
"Five dollars? For real?"
"Yeah, for real."
"You're gonna charge me five dollars to use the restroom? Really? Nah.."
They went on like this for a bit until her skepticism won out, "Alright, it's over there, go ahead, you didn't fall for it," he says, smiling and shaking his head, and tells her the door code.
"I love fucking with the drunk people," he says to me.
"Do they usually fall for it?"
"All of them," he says. "But I don't fuck with the ones in skirts. 'Cause the ones in the skirts, they'll just go in the back and piss on the floor."

System will incorporate Yahoo, AOL, and MSN network inventory with several data sets.
Amid internal turmoil Yahoo unveiled its answer to big data-driven audience targeting this morning. The firm's new Genome offering combines the huge inventory capacity of the inventory it's gathered through partners AOL and MSN with Yahoo data and an added layer of third-party data from Yahoo-owned Interclick.
The product, to be made available in July, is intended to satisfy "a big unmet need for targeting and greater insights," said Rich Riley, Yahoo EVP Americas.
Yahoo introduced Genome at a splashy event in Soho, New York at the Internet Week headquarters, which was kicked off with a talk by Billy Beane, general manager of Major League Baseball's Oakland A's. Beane's story of applying new data and statistics to increase efficiencies in choosing players was featured in the book and film "Moneyball."
Though Beane didn't draw direct comparisons between baseball and the online ad business, insights provided in his speech are appropriate analogies. In baseball, he said, "You can measure every single event and the value of every event."
The hype for the Genome initiative was overshadowed by news of the departure of Yahoo's CEO Scott Thompson, just a few months after he was hired. Thompson finally succumbed to pressure from an activist shareholder who demanded he step down after revealing Thompson had stated in his executive bio that he had obtained a computer science degree when he actually hadn't. Ross Levinsohn, former Yahoo EVP of the Americas, has been named interim CEO.
Genome follows in the footsteps of audience networks that incorporate several data sets to target online ads. The magnitude of the inventory available in Genome should differentiate it from smaller data-centric audience targeting networks.
Yahoo said the system will combine its registration, search, and behavioral data with information from 25 data sources, along with advertiser data, to perform predictive modeling for ad targeting and optimization. The platform will be used to target ad formats including display, mobile, and video.
While so-called big data is all the rage, it appears many advertisers have yet to apply the data they have at their disposal in a meaningful, systematic way.
"It's really difficult for us to use all the interesting data in order to make it actionable," said Michele Morelli, SVP display, lead generation and digital marketing for Citibank. Morelli spoke on a panel during the Yahoo event.
She also suggested that the systems like Genome might not fulfill the ultimate needs of companies that advertise across several forms of media, rather than just online. An online solution is not necessarily appealing to Citibank, Morelli said, adding that her company needs a "marketing solution."

Groton — Following Amtrak's purchase last month of 23 acres for $4 million from the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, an Amtrak spokesman says future plans for the site could include a training facility.
Amtrak bought several tracts of land next to its Midway maintenance facility off Industrial Drive, near the entrance to Bluff Point Coastal Reserve. Part of the purchased land that is adjacent to the facility was previously used as a Foxwoods employee parking lot and shuttle stop.
Amtrak spokesman Cliff Cole said initial use of the property will be to consolidate inventory from Maintenance of Way bases in Hamden and Providence, freeing up space for Amtrak's engineering department. Later, Cole said it could be used to train employees, track welders for example, bypassing the need to send employees to other parts of the region.

Archived:Sensor plug-in for S60 3rd Edition cannot be used after Feature Pack 1 (Known Issue)
Archived: This article is archived because it is not considered relevant for third-party developers creating commercial solutions today. If you think this article is still relevant, let us know by adding the template {{ReviewForRemovalFromArchive|user=~~~~|write your reason here}}.
The Sensor plug-in for S60 3rd Edition cannot be used for S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 or later.
S60 3rd Edition FP1
S60 3rd Edition (initial release)
The Sensor plug-in for S60 3rd Edition, available at the Nokia Developer website, was released as a device-specific plug-in API for the Nokia 5500 Sport. With minor modifications the same API can be used also for S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1 devices with accelerometer functionality. For more information, see the Nokia Sensor APIs article.
However, the Sensor Plug-in API is not considered an S60 platform feature and therefore compatibility cannot be maintained across S60 3rd Edition Feature Packs. Developers using this plug-in should note that S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2 devices will no longer support this API.
No solution. The sensor/accelerometer API used in S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2 devices is not compatible with the Sensor API used in the Nokia 5500 Sport or S60 3rd Edition, FP1 Nseries devices.

Straight paths are more likely trod by male public servants. Which of these paths best describes your career, or the one you aspire to? Have you worked for the same employer for the past 20 years, or hope to do so? Perhaps you have been continuously employed but with different employers for the past 20 years, or hope to be. If either of those career patterns reflects your experience, you are most likely to be a man and very possibly employed in the public service, if the results of a recent study of more than 1000 people's career patterns is to be believed.In a paper in The Journal of Vocational Behavior, researchers from the universities of Queensland, Cologne and Georgia looked at 1259 people's careers over the 20-year period 1984 to 2004. They were able to discern seven distinct career patterns.The largest group, 31 per cent, had worked full time for several different employers. The second-biggest group, 25 per cent, had loyally worked for the same employer for two decades.Combined, these patterns account for more than half the respondents, but less than 32 per cent of women enjoyed these career paths - men were twice as likely to have had uninterrupted employment. Public servants were also overrepresented in these employment paths.What stands out is that full-time permanent employment barely scraped into the majority: 44 per cent of the sample had careers interrupted with unemployment or part-time work, or were self-employed part or full time. So jobs are not for life, and working for the same employer for 20 years is about as popular as federal Labor at the moment.Despite these figures, there is still too great an emphasis on finding the "perfect" job or following your passion; indeed, even the idea of having a career may be questionable for almost half the population.Boston academic David Blustein says we should be talking about working and jobs, not careers.This data suggests that careers are overwhelmingly the privilege of educated men and public servants. Not only that, but younger people in the sample were less likely to have enjoyed these stable career patterns - recall that even the "younger" ones in this sample had 20 years of availability for work.The next most common pattern was to start off working full time then go part time, with 16 per cent falling into this group. Not surprisingly, women were in the majority here. They were also in the majority in the predominantly part-time career pattern, and the fragmented career pattern that includes periods of unemployment.So where are the services and schemes aimed specifically at women to assist them with their career paths that differ so much from those of their male counterparts?How many of those women make positive choices to have such career patterns, and how many are suffering from discrimination or societal attitudes to women and work?The self-employed were twice as likely to end up there following full-time employment (8 per cent), compared with those who were self-employed throughout (4 per cent). Collectively, they account for one in eight career paths.We promote the idea of continuous employment in a career, yet this study reveals only two out of seven distinct career patterns conform to it. If the data is correct, we need to change our expectations of career - perhaps think in terms of jobs, assignments, gigs and projects - and do more to support the changes, transitions and interruptions almost half of all workers will experience.Email email@example.com.

Midday movers: Caterpillar, Halliburton, Microsoft
The Wall Street averages were mixed at midday as advances in Apple, Microsoft buoyed the Nasdaq, but GE's continued slide weighed on the Dow.
Information provided by
Caterpillar (CAT) reported earnings and revenue that missed consensus, and the company cut its full year forecast. However, shares rose over 0.5% near noon in response to the quarterly report.
Another large cap company that reported this morning, Halliburton (HAL), advanced more than 4% in spite of recording a $637 million charge to increase its reserve related to lawsuits over the Macondo oil spill. The company's revenues and earnings excluding the charge beat expectations.
The hedge fund ValueAct has increased its already sizable stake in Microsoft (MSFT) to $2 billion, according to CNBC's David Faber. The position building may signal plans take up an activist stance and push for changes at the tech giant, whose shares gained nearly 4% following the report. (Microsoft owns and publishes Top Stocks, an MSN Money site.)
Among the notable gainers were two companies being acquired: Power-One (PWER) rose 57% to trade near $6.34 after agreeing to be acquired by ABB (ABB) for $6.35 per share in cash, and Met-Pro (MPR) advanced 39% to trade near $13.34 after CECO Environmental (CECE) struck a deal to buy Met-Pro in a cash and stock transaction valued at $13.75 per share.
Among the noteworthy losers was Magnum Hunter (MHR), which fell 8% after Deutsche Bank downgraded the stock to Hold and lowered its price target for shares to $3.50 from $7.
Also lower were shares of NVR Inc (NVR), down 8% after its earnings report.

One year after Hurricane Sandy devastated the Rhode Island coastline clean up and repairs continue. In some of the hardest hit areas, including Naragansett and Westerly, dozens of homes and businesses were swept out to sea.
In a year's time the federal government has given Rhode Island $61 million in disaster relief. More help is also on the way. The state is getting an additional 16 million dollars to help property owners and communities affected get back on their feet.
The landscape was destroyed by pounding waves crashing onto beaches like those in the summer destination of Misquamicut. Construction crews have been repairing homes and businesses ever since. In spite of the upheaval visitors are still drawn to the area, and many residents have moved on.
"We're not gonna complain. We're cleaned up and we're back to where we were. Hopefully this doesn't happen again," said Westerly resident Carol Fatone.
Sandy has led to changes in coastal construction. Some houses are now being raised at least one story to protect them from flooding.

The yoyo is good for beginners because it's ultra responsive. it has groves on the side of the yoyo to help it up which is great for beginners but once you start doing tricks like brain twister or split the atom that yoyo starts to come up when you don't want it to.

I hated it, the response system kicks in a soon as you try string tricks, meaning that you get about 5 seconds of string spin time (I got 1 brain twister revolution out of it, 2 at it's best. I took the hubs and cardboard out of the sides and found it used teeth on the sides to make it return. I thought about taking these out to see if I could get more string spin time out of it, but most of the teeth had snapped off already.
Very disappointing yoyo, and I advise that nobody, except possibly beginners, buys it.

Every member of Saint Augustine's University has the right to live and learn in
an atmosphere of trust and support. Responsibility for maintaining these values
in our community rests with each individual member. Values that promote this
atmosphere include:
HONESTY: Be truthful in your academic work and in your relationships
INTEGRITY: Be trustworthy, fair, and ethical.
RESPONSIBILITY: Be accountable for your actions and your learning.
RESPECT: Be civil. Value the dignity of each person. Honor the
physical and intellectual property of others.
"On my honor, I pledge to pursue all endeavors and uphold the values
of Saint Augustine's University and its mission with honesty, integrity,
responsibility, and respect."
Saint Augustine's University's honor code applies to both individual student and
organizational behavior:
To clarify the types of violations, Saint Augustine's University has grouped them
into policies that cover student code of conduct/social situations and policies that
cover academic situations. These two policies may overlap, with one or more types
of violations being reported from a single incident.
Academic Policies support honest exploration and thoughtful contemplation of all
ideas in an environment of honesty and trust. As such, students are to refrain from
lying, cheating, stealing or violating another's property, plagiarizing the ideas of
others, or facilitating another person's academic violation. To be clear about what
academic behavior is unacceptable, Saint Augustine's University has listed areas of
the policy that clarify components of academic responsibility (The Saint Augustine's
University Student Catalogue pgs. 52-53). Violations of academic policy may result
in a lower course grade or a failing grade for the course. Academic censure (official
statement of institutional disapproval) is the minimum institutional sanction and
multiple or egregious violations of academic policies may result in Disciplinary
Suspension or Permanent Separation from Saint Augustine's University.
Social Policies support the shared values and communal expectations that promote
the development of the individual and the community. To be clear about what
social behavior is unacceptable, Saint Augustine's University has listed areas of
the policy that clarify components of social responsibility and adherence in The
Student Code of Conduct, Student Code of Values, Residence Hall Conduct, and
Administrative Procedures Guidelines in this handbook. Each area of potential
violation is defined and typical sanctions are listed. In cases where more than one
violation has occurred as a result of an incident, sanctions will likely increase in
Violations of the Honor Code may be subject to civil or criminal prosecution under
local, state and federal law guidelines.
All students are required to acquaint themselves with the provisions of the
Academic Honor Code through the information in the Saint Augustine's University
Student Handbook. Undergraduate students may obtain further information
from the Dean of each school, Office of Academic Affairs, and the Office of First-
Year Experience.
All Saint Augustine's University students are subject to the policies and
procedures of the undergraduate Honor Code stated in the Student Handbook
and apply to all students enrolled in undergraduate courses of all divisions and
extended studies, whether full-time or part-time, or whether regularly enrolled,
transient, or cross-registered from a neighboring Cooperating Raleigh Colleges
(CRC) institution.
Students are responsible for obtaining from their professors an explanation of
the freedom they may exercise in collaboration with other students or in use of
outside sources, including:
In the event that a student does not obtain a clear explanation of the application
of the Honor Code from an instructor in any class, the student must assume that
the Office of Academic Affairs will follow the strictest interpretation of the Honor
Code with respect to that class.
Faculty members do not routinely monitor tests and examinations to apprehend
violators. Instructors who remain in examination rooms are there primarily to give
Cheating, plagiarizing, or otherwise falsifying results of study is prohibited. The
Code applies not only to examinations, but also to all work handed in, such as
papers, reports, solutions to problems, tapes, films, and computer programs, unless
excepted by the instructor. The code also applies to any act that is fraudulent or
intended to mislead the instructor, including falsifying records of attendance for
class, for events for which attendance is required or for which class credit is given,
or for internships or other work service.
Violations of the Honor Code are cause for disciplinary actions imposed by the
appropriate office (Office of Academic or Judicial Affairs).
Among the possible violations are the following:
The Honor Code Applied to Preparation of Papers
Students often have trouble distinguishing between privileged information and
common knowledge. An idea is often considered common knowledge if it is
encountered at least three times in separate sources during one's research into
a particular subject. (Reprints of one source do not constitute separate sources.)
Students should understand that sources of common knowledge can be
plagiarized. Copying or close paraphrasing of the wording or presentation of a
source of common knowledge constitutes plagiarism.
Students should realize that an act of plagiarism may include some degree of
premeditation or may be the result of carelessness or ignorance of acceptable
forms for citation. Regardless of intent or premeditation, the act is plagiarism
and is a violation of the Honor Code. Students, therefore, must be conscious of
their responsibilities as scholars under the Honor System, to learn to discern what
is included in plagiarism as well as in other breaches of the Honor Code, and must
know and practice the specifications for citations in scholarly work.
Any student uncertain about the application of the plagiarism and citation rules
should consult the instructor. A student who plagiarizes out of ignorance is still
guilty of an Honor Code violation.
Students are on their honor not to ask for or give information pertaining to any
portion of an examination before or after they have taken it, in such a way as to
gain or give an advantage over other students.
The written pledge (see also The Honor Pledge above) signifies that the work
submitted is the student's own and that it has been completed in accordance with
the requirements of the course as specified by the instructor. In addition, each
student and faculty member is expected to establish a clear understanding of the
requirements in each course.
Any student uncertain about the application of the pledge to a particular course
requirement should always consult the instructor. The Honor pledge, or an
abbreviation thereof, should be included in all written work completed by the
student and submitted for a grade. Any work handed in for credit, however, will
be considered "pledged" unless otherwise stated by the instructor.
Without the support and cooperation of the entire student body, the Honor
System will not work. Students must insist on the absolute integrity of themselves
and their fellow students. It is the obligation of every student who suspects an
honor violation to take action in one of the following ways, determining the
choice of action by the flagrancy and/or certainty of the violation.
If a student has reason to suspect that a breach of the Honor Code has been
committed, he or she must:
1. Issue a personal warning to the suspected student, or
2. Report the incident to the Office of Academic Affairs for action by the
Provost /Designee of the President, or
3. Inform the instructor in the course of the suspicions and identify, if possible,
the person(s) suspected.
The procedure for resolving disputes of academic dishonesty or for resolving
any dispute concerning a student's academic standing at Saint Augustine's
University is the Academic Dishonesty Appeal Process. The Academic Dishonesty
Appeal Process requires that a student first discuss the academic dispute with the
faculty member who accused the student, or assigned the grade, or initiated the
penalty, or with whom the dispute first surfaced. If the dispute is not resolved in conversation(s) with the faculty member, the student shall next address the
matter with the head of the department in which the course is taught. The Chair
shall: investigate the matter thoroughly; make a record of the relevant evidence;
make a determination about the nature of the dispute or appropriateness of
the accusation, the grade, or the penalty imposed on the student. If the matter
is still in dispute following the investigation and determination by the Chair, the
student has a right to appeal to the Division Dean in which the dispute arose.
In cases where the recommended penalty is that the student be suspended or
expelled, or where the student's degree or certification is revoked, students may
appeal in writing to the Provost.
Specifically in cases involving allegations of academic dishonesty students shall be
provided with: (1) adequate notice of any offense with which they are charged;
and, (2) an opportunity to be heard by the Division Dean in which the offense is
alleged to have occurred. The penalty imposed by (or approved by) the Division
Dean shall be based on evidence collected and recorded by the faculty member,
the Chair, and/or the Division Dean. The Division Dean in which the student's
major is located shall also be notified of the academic dishonesty and of the
penalty imposed by the Division Dean in which the academic dishonesty occurred.
Requests for "directory information" frequently come to the University from a
variety of sources, including friends, parents, alumni, relatives, employers, other
Universitys and universities, government agencies, news media, and so on. The
University will not release directory information that the student has requested
be withheld, and any requests from non-University persons will be refused
unless the student provides his or her written consent for the release. Students
are advised to consider carefully the consequences of a decision to request that
directory information be withheld.
