WARMINSTER — Archbishop Wood made sure that former head coach Brian McCann's homecoming Tuesday night, after spending the previous two seasons with the Vikings, was limited just to being glad to see familiar faces and places again.
Fresh off their only loss this season, in four grueling sets Monday night at Lansdale Catholic, the Vikings righted themselves quickly by sweeping Archbishop Carroll 25-13, 27-25 and 25-17 in a Philadelphia Catholic League girls volleyball match.

BRISTOL TWP. — Council Rock South senior Becca Davey had the kind of game Tuesday afternoon that would have most people talking to themselves. But winning cures a lot of ills.
Davey hit the crossbar twice and missed a penalty kick. But her booming shots off the crossbar resulted in goals for the Golden Hawks, who went on to beat host Harry S. Truman 5-0 in a Suburban One League National Conference girls soccer game.

WARMINSTER — The William Tennent boys soccer team, beset by injuries, has struggled in the first month of the season. Not on Tuesday.

One of the most repeated clichés in sports is, "There are no easy games in our league." That's certainly the case when it comes to Suburban One National soccer. Heading into this week, nine conference games have been decided by a single goal and a 10th ended in a draw.
Two-time defending champion Neshaminy, which sits atop the conference standings with a 7-0 league record, has won four of those seven games by one goal each. It's also played two non-conference one-goal games, defeating Holy Ghost and losing in overtime to Wissahickon. Neshaminy was 8-1 heading Monday's non-conference matchup against Central Bucks South.

Life has forced Council Rock South's student body and, by extension, its girls volleyball team, to grow up quickly this month — the hard way.
With the school still recovering from the deaths of three classmates Labor Day weekend in a well-documented auto accident, the volleyball team got a dose of reality last week that also hit close to home.

OBJECTIVE: Depressive personality disorder was introduced into DSM-IV's appendix amid controversy. While that disorder appears to be a reliable and valid one, the authors offer new data about its relationship to major depression, dysthymic disorder, and other personality disorders. METHOD: The authors assessed 54 subjects with early-onset, long-standing mild depressive features for depressive personality disorder, axis I and axis II disorders, family history, and treatment history; they conducted follow-up interviews 1 year after the baseline assessment. Subjects with (N=30) and without (N=24) depressive personality disorder were characterized and compared in terms of those variables. RESULTS: Although depressive personality disorder and dysthymia co-occurred in some subjects, 63% of subjects with depressive personality disorder did not have dysthymia, and 60% did not have current major depression. Although subjects with depressive personality disorder were more likely than the mood disorder comparison group to have another personality disorder, 40% had no such disorder. Contrary to study hypotheses, mood disorder was not more common in first-degree relatives of subjects with depressive personality disorder than in relatives of the comparison group. Subjects with and without depressive personality disorder had similar rates of past treatment with medication and psychotherapy; however, the duration of psychotherapy was significantly longer for subjects with than for those without depressive personality. The depressive personality diagnosis was relatively stable over the 1-year follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS: Depressive personality disorder appears to be a relatively stable condition with incomplete overlap with axis I mood disorders and personality disorders. Further studies are needed to better characterize its treatment response and relationship to axis I mood disorders. (Am J Psychiatry 1998; 155:1044–1048)
Harbingers of depressive personality disorder were present in Hippocrates' melancholic, or "black gall," temperament described more than 2,000 years ago. This personality type was subsequently characterized by some of the founders of our diagnostic system, including Kraepelin, Kretschmer, and Schneider (R1558101). Although depressive personality disorder was represented in DSM-II, it was omitted from DSM-III and DSM-III-R. Yet, within the past decade, clinicians with diverse theoretical perspectives, such as Kernberg (R1558102) and Akiskal (R1558103), have prompted a reawakening of interest in this putative disorder.
Despite the long history and reliability of depressive personality disorder (R1558104–R1558107), it was added to DSM-IV's appendix B (Criteria Sets and Axes Provided for Further Study) amid controversy (R1558108). The main issue was whether it could be differentiated conceptually and empirically from dysthymia, major depression, and other personality disorders (R1558109). This article addresses those questions.
Depressive personality disorder is defined in DSM-IV as a pervasive pattern of depressive cognitions and behaviors beginning by early adulthood and occurring in a variety of contexts. Because of concern that this disorder would become simply another name for dysthymic disorder or major depression, DSM-IV stipulates that the disorder does not occur exclusively during major depressive episodes nor is it better accounted for by dysthymic disorder. The diagnosis is established by five or more of the following criteria: 1) usual mood is dominated by dejection, gloominess, cheerlessness, joylessness, and unhappiness; 2) self-concept centers around beliefs of inadequacy, worthlessness, and low self-esteem; 3) is critical, blaming, and derogatory toward the self; 4) is brooding and given to worry; 5) is negativistic, critical, and judgmental toward others; 6) is pessimistic; and 7) is prone to feeling guilty or remorseful.
Depressive personality disorder is characterized primarily by a particular constellation of personality traits—many of which are cognitive, intrapsychic, and interpersonal—in contrast to dysthymia's emphasis on somatic symptoms (R1558108). Available data suggest that depressive personality disorder may be comorbid with axis I mood disorders but that its overlap with them is far from complete (R1558106, R1558107, R15581010). While depressive personality disorder may be distinct from axis I mood disorders, it may nonetheless be related to them as an early-onset, enduring, trait-like variant (R1558107, R15581011, R15581012) that may predispose individuals to the axis I mood disorders. This posited "spectrum relationship," supported by evidence of a familial relationship between depressive personality disorder and major depression (R1558107, R15581012–R15581014), is similar to the relationship between schizotypal personality disorder and schizophrenia (R15581015) as well as the relationship between behavioral inhibition and anxiety disorders (R15581016).
Available studies have several limitations, however. First, except for the DSM-IV Mood Disorders Field Trial, researchers have diagnosed depressive personality disorder by using criteria that, while reliable, lacked systematic probes and an empirically derived cut-off score for the diagnosis. Second, depressive personality disorder, comorbid disorders, and family history have generally not been assessed by independent raters. Finally, not all comorbid personality disorders have been assessed; the incomplete data leave unanswered the question of whether depressive personality disorder overlaps excessively with other personality disorders and, therefore, is a redundant concept.
In the present study, we address these limitations. We characterize and compare subjects with depressive personality disorder to subjects with chronic mild depressive features who do not have depressive personality disorder. We use independent raters to assess all axis II disorders; furthermore, we diagnose depressive personality disorder by using a reliable and valid diagnostic instrument with probes and an empirically derived cut score for the diagnosis (R1558105). In addition, we explore treatment history, which has not been previously studied. We hypothesized that depressive personality disorder would be comorbid with, but not completely subsumed by, dysthymia, major depression, and other personality disorders. We also hypothesized that 1) relatives of probands with depressive personality disorder would have a higher rate of axis I mood disorders than relatives of comparison subjects and 2) subjects with depressive personality disorder would have received more psychotherapy than the comparison group because of the chronic, trait-like nature of their depressive features.
We recruited 54 subjects by asking clinicians at McLean Hospital, Belmont, Mass., for referrals of individuals with possible depressive personality disorder (N=24) and by advertising in a local newspaper for individuals who had been mildly but chronically depressed, gloomy, and unhappy for most of their lives (N=30). Twenty-nine subjects (54%) were outpatients; the remaining 25 (46%) were currently receiving no psychiatric treatment. Exclusion criteria were a current organic disorder, current psychosis, a current or chronic substance use disorder, and current major depression of more than 2 years' duration. We excluded individuals with current major depression of more than 2 years because of the difficulty of assessing personality traits in such subjects. We included, however, individuals with current major depression of less than 2 years' duration because several of our study hypotheses involved major depression. After presenting a complete description of the study to the subjects, we obtained written informed consent.
Three psychiatrists, all blind to ratings obtained by the other two, interviewed each subject. The first interviewer administered the Diagnostic Interview for Depressive Personality, a reliable and valid 30-item semistructured instrument that establishes the diagnosis of depressive personality disorder (R1558105). The disorder is diagnosed only if the traits are characteristic of a person's long-term personality (i.e., present since adolescence or early adulthood) and clearly present outside of major depressive episodes. This instrument includes the DSM-IV criteria and additional items from the depressive personality literature, such as introverted, unassertive/passive, self-denying, and difficulty expressing anger (R1558101).
The second rater administered three instruments: 1) the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R (SCID) (R15581017) to assess axis I disorders; 2) the Diagnostic Interview for Personality Disorders, Revised (R15581018), a reliable semistructured instrument that assesses DSM-III-R axis II and appendix disorders; and 3) the 24-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (R15581019) to assess the severity of current depressive symptoms. An axis II assessment was not completed for one subject.
The second rater also assessed treatment history. Treatments evaluated were medications (antidepressants, antipsychotics, benzodiazepines, mood stabilizers, and others), individual psychotherapy, cognitive behavior therapy, couples therapy, and group therapy. Information was obtained on type, number, duration, and efficacy of treatments. In efficacy evaluations, only medication trials that were judged adequate in dose and duration, on the basis of a semistructured assessment instrument (A.A. Nierenberg, personal communication), were included. Treatment data are missing for several subjects.
The third rater administered the Family History Questionnaire, a reliable semistructured instrument to assess DSM-III-R axis I disorders in relatives (R15581020). This information was obtained from 51 subjects for 236 first-degree relatives (N=127 for the depressive personality group and N=109 for the comparison group).
We completed follow-up interviews with the 45 subjects who agreed to be reinterviewed 1 year after the baseline assessment. The Diagnostic Interview for Depressive Personality, the SCID, and the 24-item Hamilton depression scale were administered by the second rater, who had been responsible for the SCID and Hamilton depression scale, but not the Diagnostic Interview for Depressive Personality, at baseline. Consequently, this rater was blind to baseline ratings on the Diagnostic Interview for Depressive Personality.
We performed data analysis by using SPSS for Windows, version 6.12, with an additional "exact test" module for Fisher's exact test r×c tables. All statistical tests were triple-checked with SigmaStat 2.0 and Statistica 5.1. We compared the 30 subjects with depressive personality disorder to the 24 subjects without depressive personality disorder in terms of sociodemographic characteristics, axis I and axis II disorders, family history, treatment history, and other variables. We tested between-group differences by using Fisher's exact test for categorical variables, using 2×k contingency tables (Freeman-Halton test) for the family history data and 2×2 tables for other analyses. We used Student's t tests for continuous variables. Although we have reported all significant differences (p<0.05, two-tailed), one should exercise caution in interpreting these values because we performed multiple comparisons; some findings, particularly those of only modest significance, may represent chance associations. In addition, we examined the relationship between major depression (present or absent) and depressive personality disorder (present or absent) at baseline and again at follow-up.
The 30 subjects with depressive personality disorder did not differ significantly from the 24 subjects without depressive personality disorder in terms of sociodemographic characteristics. The two groups were similar in age and sex ratio (mean age=38.0 years [SD=9.9], 50% [N=15] female, and mean age=44.1 years [SD=13.1], 71% [N=17] female, respectively), as well as marital status, education, and employment status. The two groups did not differ significantly in rates of comorbid mood disorder or any other axis I disorder (T1). Depressive personality disorder and dysthymia co-occurred in some subjects. Of subjects with depressive personality disorder, 37% also met criteria for dysthymia, and 17% met criteria for the early-onset type of dysthymia. Conversely, 62% of subjects with dysthymia and 56% of those with the early-onset type of dysthymia also met criteria for depressive personality disorder.
Mean Hamilton depression scale scores were in the dysthymic range for both groups and did not differ significantly between the subjects with depressive personality disorder (mean=15.4, SD=8.7) and those without depressive personality disorder (mean=13.4, SD=8.5). Global Assessment of Functioning scores were also similar in the two groups for subjects with depressive personality disorder (mean=60.6, SD=10.8) and those without depressive personality disorder (mean=62.8, SD=17.5).
The rates of cluster A and cluster B personality disorders were relatively low and did not differ significantly between the two groups. Of subjects with depressive personality disorder, 13% (N=4) had a comorbid odd cluster disorder, and 20% (N=6) had a comorbid dramatic cluster disorder; the mood disorder comparison group had 4% (N=1) in each cluster. However, subjects with depressive personality disorder were significantly more likely than those without depressive personality disorder to have avoidant personality disorder (33% [N=10] versus 9% [N=2], p<0.05) and any anxious cluster disorder (53% [N=16] versus 17% [N=4], p=0.01). The former were also more likely than the latter to meet criteria for any axis II disorder (60% [N=18] versus 22% [N=5], p=0.01). However, they were not more likely to meet criteria for self-defeating or any other personality disorder.
Contrary to our hypothesis, rates of lifetime mood disorder in first-degree relatives of subjects with depressive personality disorder were not higher than in relatives of subjects without depressive personality disorder. Of the relatives of subjects with depressive personality disorder, 9% (N=12) had major depression, 9% (N=12) had dysthymia, and 14% (N=18) had any mood disorder; among relatives of the mood disorder group, the rates were 17% (N=18), 14% (N=15), and 22% (N=24) for those respective disorders. The two groups of first-degree relatives did not significantly differ in rates of other axis I disorders.
The two groups also did not differ in antidepressant medication or individual psychotherapy received (T2), or other medications or therapies received, with one exception: subjects with depressive personality disorder had a significantly greater mean duration of individual psychotherapy than did the comparison group. The two groups did not differ in terms of treatment efficacy. The response rate of long-standing depressive features to antidepressants was notably low in both groups, with only one subject (6%) with depressive personality disorder and two (12%) without depressive personality disorder reporting moderate or good response to at least one adequate antidepressant trial.
Regarding the stability of the depressive personality diagnosis over the 1-year follow-up period (with different raters at baseline and follow-up), we obtained a kappa of 0.55 for diagnostic placement and an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.62 for the total score on the Diagnostic Interview for Depressive Personality.
With respect to the relationship between major depression (present or absent) and depressive personality disorder (present or absent) at baseline and follow-up, change in one of those diagnoses was generally not accompanied by change in the other. Eight subjects had major depression at baseline but not at follow-up; none of them changed in terms of depressive personality diagnosis (five had depressive personality disorder at both baseline and follow-up, and three had the disorder at neither baseline nor follow-up). Another seven subjects did not have major depression at baseline but did at follow-up; only two of these had a change in depressive personality diagnosis (one had the diagnosis at baseline but not at follow-up; the other did not have the diagnosis at baseline but did at follow-up).
Six subjects met criteria for depressive personality disorder at baseline but not at follow-up; five of them did not have major depression at baseline or at follow-up; one did not have major depression at baseline but did at follow-up. Three subjects did not have depressive personality disorder at baseline but did at follow-up; none had current major depression at baseline, and one did at follow-up.
Change scores on the Hamilton depression scale and Diagnostic Interview for Depressive Personality Disorder between baseline and follow-up, however, were significantly correlated (N=40, r=0.42, p<0.01). Scores were not significantly correlated at baseline (N=43, r=0.27, p=0.06) but were at follow-up (N=42, r=0.39, p<0.01).
Scores on the Diagnostic Interview for Depressive Personality Disorder did not differ significantly between subjects with and those without current major depression (mean=41.2, SD=11.2, and mean=37.6, SD=12.8, respectively).
Our results suggest that although depressive personality disorder can be comorbid with its near-neighbor axis I and axis II disorders, it can also occur in their absence and is distinct from them. Our findings that 1) nearly two-thirds of subjects with depressive personality disorder did not have dysthymia, 2) 83% did not have early-onset dysthymia (the disorder most similar to depressive personality disorder), and 3) 60% did not have current major depression are similar to the findings of other investigators (R1558106) and to the results of the DSM-IV Mood Disorder Field Trial (R15581010). Klein and Miller's nonclinical sample of subjects with depressive personality disorder (R1558107) had an even lower frequency of lifetime axis I mood disorders. Similarly, our finding that 40% of subjects with depressive personality disorder had no other personality disorder indicates that overlap between depressive personality disorder and other personality disorders is incomplete. This result confirms previous findings of little overlap with borderline or schizotypal personality disorders (R1558106, R1558107) and extends these findings by demonstrating that the overlap remains incomplete when all axis II disorders are assessed. It is interesting that the cluster C (anxious) disorders were most frequently comorbid, consistent with the neurotic-level conflicts and defenses noted to characterize depressive personality disorder (R15581021).
A somewhat surprising finding was our failure to confirm reports (R15581012–R15581014) of a familial relationship between depressive personality disorder and axis I mood disorders, which has previously been demonstrated by 1) higher rates of depressive personality disorder in offspring of depressed subjects than in offspring of comparison subjects (R15581013) and 2) higher rates of major mood disorder in relatives of depressive personality probands than in relatives of comparison probands (R1558107, R15581014). However, in another study conducted in a setting more similar to ours, a higher proportion of relatives of depressive personality probands (compared to mood disorder probands) had been hospitalized for a mood disorder but did not have a higher rate of nonbipolar depression (R1558106). While the fact that our assessments of relatives were blind to proband diagnoses adds credibility to our findings, our results are limited by use of the family history method, which tends to underdiagnose disorders in relatives. In addition, the high rate of axis I mood disorders in both study groups could have obscured differences in mood disorder rates in relatives.
Our results demonstrating relatively good stability of depressive personality disorder over 1 year are similar to those of a previous study over 6 months (R1558106); they probably represent a lower-bound estimate of stability, given our use of different raters at baseline and follow-up. Of additional significance is the relative independence of changes in depressive personality disorder and major depression diagnoses between baseline and follow-up. However, the significant baseline correlation between change scores on the Diagnostic Interview for Depressive Personality Disorder and the Hamilton depression scale, along with their significant correlation at follow-up, suggests that depressed mood may confound assessment of depressive personality traits. The fact that depressive personality disorder and depression were assessed at follow-up by the same rater may have contributed to the correlation through a halo effect.
The relatively low scores on the Global Assessment of Functioning Scale indicate that persons with depressive personality disorder experience impairment, although the degree to which the disorder contributed to impairment is unclear. Other investigators (R1558107, R15581010) found similar levels of impairment; in addition, they found that subjects with depressive personality were more impaired than comparison groups. In the DSM-IV Mood Disorders Field Trial, individuals with depressive personality disorder scored significantly lower than mood disorder comparison subjects on the mental health and health perception scales of the Medical Outcome Study Short-Form General Health Survey, on overall adjustment, and on five of nine scales of the Social Adjustment Scale Self-Report (R15581010). Klein and Miller found that subjects with depressive personality disorder had lower scores on the Global Assessment Scale than those without the disorder, even in the absence of a history of mood disorder (R1558107). This documentation of impairment suggests that depressive personality disorder does not consist simply of normal personality traits; it may, nonetheless, be on a continuum with normal personality traits (e.g., negative affectivity or neuroticism) that can, at their extreme, become dysfunctional.
Although we did not confirm previous findings (R1558107) that individuals with depressive personality disorder are more likely than those without the disorder to seek psychotherapy (most subjects in both groups obtained such treatment), we did find that those with depressive personality disorder had received psychotherapy longer than those without the disorder. It is unclear whether the very low response rate of long-standing depressive features to antidepressants indicates that depressive personality disorder is generally unresponsive to antidepressants or that we studied treatment-resistant subjects. The latter explanation seems likely, given that, at the very least, depressive features of our mood disorder comparison group would be expected to improve with adequate antidepressant treatment in a high percentage of cases; we probably selected a treatment-resistant group by recruiting subjects with chronic depressive features, nearly half of whom were in treatment at a tertiary care center. Whether personality disorders respond to antidepressants is an interesting and important issue that has been discussed in the popular press (R15581022). Does depressive personality disorder have a sufficient neurobiologic basis to be ameliorated by pharmacotherapy? Or is it better understood as a form of depressive character that is more effectively treated by psychotherapy? Or might both treatments be effective? The answers await prospective treatment studies.
Our diagnostic system is in flux, and there is ongoing need to evaluate and improve it. DSM-IV appendix disorders are in particular need of investigation. Our findings confirm those of previous investigators that the depressive personality disorder diagnosis identifies individuals with a relatively stable condition, involving impairment, that is not otherwise covered by DSM-IV mood or personality disorders. Our results also highlight the need for additional studies, including family history and treatment studies, that will further clarify the meaning of this construct—in particular, its relationship to axis I mood disorders. Such studies are also needed to shed light on the question of whether depressive personality disorder reflects a temperament with a heritable relationship to depressive disorders, a dysfunctional character type, or both.

I have always been happy with the guide gear brand.. Looks like a very nice sleeping bag, haven't had a chance to use it yet.. Soon though
Sleeping is nice.
good price, fast shipping. Have not opened yet.
Sleeping bags were suppose to me new, but reeked of something like diesel fuel. Also zippers were cheap and nylon to thin. I donated them to local shelter that needed bags.

This year, they have a new Western Late Model car. Family patriarch John Philpott built the Chevrolet Impala from scratch in his south Tracy shop, where he keeps the cars that his son, David, and grandsons Justin and Matt race.
The new No. 50 car is the one David Philpott plans to drive when NASCAR's Whelen All-American Series opens at Stockton 99's quarter-mile track April 9 for two races. Justin will be back in his No. 5 Monte Carlo in those events.
They're also bringing back their Toyota Camry for the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West when it returns to Roseville's All-American Speedway on April 16 for the Toyota/NAPA AutoCare 150. They will take the other cars to compete in a Western Late Model race the night before, April 15, at All-American Speedway's one-third-mile track
The cars are all named for familiar models but are built to NASCAR specifications. The only resemblance to the cars they're named for is the stickers that resemble grills, headlights and taillights. Justin Philpott explained that the newest car ended up being classified as a Western Late Model after his grandfather nearly had it finished.
"He started working on a street stock for me and my brother," Justin Philpott said. "It was more of a late model that he was going to put a street stock body on, and my dad told him you couldn't do that. He was building a car that was too modern to be a street stock."
They put in a new $5,500 GM motor, a standard 425-horsepower engine that all Western Late Model cars use.
"We just do a little at a time and do what we can afford, and it turned out to be a pretty nice late model," Justin Philpott said. "It's one of the nicest cars we've ever had."
The Philpotts haven't mapped out their entire season, but they will have to do well at Stockton 99 and the K&N races to make enough money to keep running.
This year, they don't have a sponsor as they did before, when the local software company Tax Brain supported their cars. They've had no luck finding sponsors this year, so the cars are supported by David Philpott's 11th Street auto repair business.
"It's so tough with the economy, trying to find anything," Justin said. "We've made 30 or 40 phone calls to companies, trying to talk to the right person. It's tough everywhere."
He added that the Camry will be the car to race if they want to get part of the larger purses.
"This class is a lot more money than a late model. You get more exposure in a K&N car than you would in a late model in Stockton or Roseville. They travel all over."

Peggy Ross welcomed everyone and thanked them all for attending the reestablishment of the computer lab users group meeting. She stated that she was grateful that so many attended. Peggy said that ACS currently planned on having quarterly meetings, but if there is a need to have them more often, then the meetings could be held monthly and with special meetings, as needed. Marti Baker asked if the meetings could be held on Fridays - either Friday mornings or Friday afternoons depending on teaching schedules. Pat Gales does not work on Friday but said that she could occasionally come in on Fridays if the meetings were only once a quarter. No decision was reached.
2. NEW SOFTWARE REQUEST PACKETS: Pat Gales explained about the new software request packets that she had sent out for summer and fall quarter, the new ACS software database, the checklist, the software timelines for this round, the textbooks, the software manuals, the software licensing, proof of purchase information, uniform listing of software, and the complex installation process for the ACS technicians. In the future it will be critical to follow the software timelines and bring in the software along with original CDs, manuals, textbooks, etc. as early as possible. It is important to have only one version of the software, because more than one version complicates the image process. The textbooks and the manuals will be a tremendous help in the ACS area as resources for the ACS technicians and the lab assistants. It was requested that the software be ordered at the same time the book orders are due. However, that will not allow the ACS technicians enough time to work with the software. Pat has a software database listing the software that each of the classes uses. When Pat sends the software requests out each quarter, if the software for your class is the same, just leave it, if you are not using the software listed, cross it out and write what the new software in, and if it is the same software, but a different version, cross out the old version and replace it with the new version. Another request that is necessary for the ACS labs to run properly is to include the appropriate hardware specifications when sending in the requests for the new software or new version of software.
3. QUARTERLY IMAGES: Mike Yocom said that last quarter it took him and Becky two weeks to get the images ready for spring quarter, and spring quarter was a fairly easy quarter with only two new pieces of software. When an instructor brings software to be installed at the eleventh hour, it can cause some major problems. Some of the concerns that come up are: Is the software compatible with the other software that it will be running with; does the software package require hardware capabilities that are not sufficient in the computer lab; and what does the software do and what is it supposed to do. Currently, when the images are created at the quarter break, there are two separate images created, one for the slow labs and one for the faster labs. ACS is hopeful that we will be upgrading some of the computer labs with funding from tech fee and from Jerrilee Mosier. The majority of the computer labs run most of the software programs. It is necessary to do this so that the students will have labs in which to do their homework. However, the high-end complex applications cannot run in all of the labs.
David Chalif asked if some of the software can reside on the server. The answer was that certain software can reside on the server, but serving applications from the server presents another set of challenges. Another question arose about what kind of hardware will be needed this fall? Equipment requests should be part of the software request process. Karl Camozzi is working on requirements for the high-end applications and what additional hardware would be needed to support the software. Also, when two versions are requested of the same software, the ACS technicians will evaluate and set up meetings to work with the instructors.
4. SOFTWARE TIMELINES: Tim Hunt agrees that deadlines are necessary for the software to work properly. However, it works both ways. If there are problems with a specific software package or software versions, there shouldn't be any last minute surprises. The instructor needs to be notified early enough so that they can come in and work with the ACS technicians to help resolve the issues.
Peggy provided general information about the proposed software request timelines with the understanding that these are in a development stage and still being evaluated as to what will meet the needs of the instructors and the needs of the ACS technicians.
5. SOFTWARE TESTING: A suggestion was brought up by Jerry Rosenberg that students could be hired to come in and test software. It would be up to the instructor if they wanted to hire students to test software, but the students need to be thoroughly knowledgeable with the software, what it is supposed to do and what it is expected to do. If there were issues with the software, the instructor would need to be notified. Although the timeline has been changed so that the instructors would not usually have to come in during their "between the quarter vacation time", they still may need to be contacted or if necessary, even come into the lab, but that would be a rare occasion. When bringing in textbooks that accompany the software, it would be helpful to give ACS a list of the assignments from the text, so that when the students are testing they can randomly do some of the assignments making sure that the software is working properly. The ACS proposed timeline may be hard to follow for new software. If the new software is brought in late, there are last minute publisher switches, or if it's a specialty software, there is a risk that it may not be compatible with the current software, have other glitches that need to get worked out, might not run on the current hardware, or have other problems. This needs to be understood by the instructor and the students. When dealing with current software, there should be a bulleted list of things that there have been problems with in the past. The testers then would check for these particular items. The instructors need to stay involved with the issues relating to their software.
6. NEWSLETTER: Communication between the ACS and the instructors using the computer labs has been an issue in the past. It can sometimes be difficult for ACS to contact faculty, particularly part-time instructors. It was suggested that ACS should contact the department heads and/or the division heads to let them know a problem is going on in the computer labs with their software programs. It was agreed that the ACS department send out a newsletter, which was originally to be sent out quarterly. However, suggestions were made that every time there is a change in ACS policies/procedures that it should be inserted into the ACS newsletter and sent out more often, possibly monthly. In the newsletter, suggestions for content were: new equipment upgrades, hardware requirements, feedback, and changes. They want it sent whenever there are changes. We need to give the full-time instructors or lead-instructors time to email the part-time instructors the changes prior to the class start. David Chalif suggested a banner that states "Note Changes."
There was further discussion about distribution of the ACS newsletter. All campus, all faculty, or only faculty that use the labs, were some of the suggestions. Peggy recommended that faculty, campus wide, should get the newsletter since we have an increasing trend for lab use associated with non-lab classes.
7. SERVICE REQUESTS: Academic Computer Services staff and lab assistants are now creating service requests for instructor that contact one of us with a problem or concern. The open service requests are monitored until the request is closed. The ACS technicians complete as many requests as possible to get the instructors problems solved. Sometimes the ACS technicians will need to choose which request affects the largest amount of students. So, there will be times that an instructor with a problem may need to wait a brief amount of time while other service requests affecting the most students get resolved first.
8. CONTACTING INSTRUCTORS: Check with the department chair or call the division office when someone from ACS needs to get in touch with an instructor regarding software issues. Specialty software that is brought in to ACS late cannot be thoroughly tested. It causes an impact on the other software that is loaded. Software request titles need to be specific. Direct X 9 that was installed was the incorrect version due to the lack of information we received. The move to server based software results in easier software solutions by not having to download individual labs. Local PC based software fixes often require a complete download through out a room or a lab.
9. NEW/PART-TIME INSTRUCTORS' ORIENTATIONS: Part-time instructors often lack sufficient information about their class structure to understand how to access files, log in students, etc. It was suggested that some type of instructor orientation be offered. Pat mentioned that ACS provides instructor manuals, but the consensus was that the instructors are overloaded with printed material and do not get time to read everything. A one-on-one orientation may be more helpful at the time that the instructors have their accounts setup. There was also a suggestion for two orientations, one in the morning for the instructors whose classes are held during the day and one in the evening for the instructors holding evening classes. Since the instructor contracts do not start until the first day of the quarter, there was discussion about finding money for the instructors to receive the orientation during the break. It isn't feasible for ACS to present an orientation at the beginning of the quarter launch due to the influx of new students and the class launches. There was a suggestion about a web page with information about the computer labs. Another suggestion was an orientation video or a CD ROM orientation. Jon French suggested an on-line video presentation. This would be an excellent source for distribution of software compliance materials both to the instructors and the students. The web page would need to be updated with lab changes as well as including the changes in the monthly newsletter. ACS would need to let the lead instructors know about the changes in lab procedures, so they can inform the part-time instructors.
10. NEW EMAIL ACCOUNTS FOR PART-TIME FACULTY: Many of the part-timers do not use EdCC email. There was agreement that it was required by the college that all instructors use EdCC email. New part-time instructors do not have email accounts until three or four days into the quarter, and it makes information by email difficult. As things come up, they will be included in the newsletter.
11. CHALLENGES: There are a lot of challenges ahead of us including lack of funding for personnel and resources. ACS is willing to work with the instructors, department deans, department heads, etc. and schedule meetings. We have outgrown the old processes. ACS provides as much technical support as they possibly can, however, the ACS technicians are not specialists when they are dealing with highly specialized software. Rapid approval of course proposals and last minute decisions on software needs have major impacts on our image testing.
Tim Hunt offered the following: "The techs need time to solve problems. When the problems come back, the faculty needs to be polite about it, because the problem may have come back due to fixing someone else's problem. Bring a list of known problems. Even if they resolve the problem once, it can come back."
12. TEXTBOOKS WITH CDs: Students are installing the CDs that accompany their textbooks, and they are incompatible with our system. The classes may or may not be lab classes, but the student is being told to install the software and complete the assignments. This information needs to go into the newsletter. David Chalif indicated that he felt that if the students install CDs that impact the functionality of the computers for other students, the student installing the CD should lose their account for two days or all quarter. When ACS sees the installations in the labs, ACS needs to be proactive in contacting the instructor for the class and contacting the appropriate dean. The instructors need to be made aware of the problems that are caused by the students installing CDs that accompany their textbooks.
13. SOFTWARE DOCUMENTATION: Software licensing is going to become complicated as we progress with the software compliance. Freeware, shareware, and public domain software will need documentation to support installation.
14. SOFTWARE EQUIPMENT: Marti Baker raised the issue with equipment failures in the computer labs. ACS is currently experiencing problems with specific computers requiring the removal of the motherboard and sending it in for repair to the manufacturer. This can take three to six weeks. We have used all the extra equipment from our staging area to fill in. If the purchase of new equipment goes through, we will have some backup parts that can be used so that the computer is not out of order for more than a day or two. We are hopeful that we will get two new labs through our techfee proposal and there is a possibility that Jerrilee will help with the purchase of two new labs. Marti Baker brought up the fact that lack of equipment in the labs or equipment that is not working properly,, can have a negative effect on instructor evaluations. Service requests should help track that problem.
15. NEXT MEETING: It was suggested that the next meeting should be held the week before finals to review the challenges coming during summer and fall quarters.
16. ACSTECHNICIANS: Peggy closed with praise for ACS technicians and the incredible jobs they have been doing. With the change in staffing structure, Scott was moved to a more encompassing role on campus and his time to assist the technicians has been very limited.

HELSINKI (AP) — From a tiny fossil bone found in the frozen Yukon, scientists have deciphered the genetic code of an ancient horse about 700,000 years old.
That's nearly 10 times older than any other animal that has had its genome mapped.
Scientists used new techniques and computing to map DNA from a 5-inch fossil fragment. The research provides a better insight into the evolution of one of the most studied mammals. The ancient horse was probably about the size of current Arabian horses.
The Danish researchers say the new techniques could make it possible to map the genetic blueprints of all sorts of ancient animals from early human ancestors to mastodons to mammoths to bison.
The work was published Wednesday in the journal Nature and discussed at a science conference in Helsinki.

Contents Core Samples Fusion Crust Age Chemistry Martian Dust Mars Model Local Volcanoes Geology Report Glass Internal Structure Boundary Sites Overview Home Write NASA
Internal Sand
I believe the sandy mixture trapped inside this rock gives the clearest indication of the origins of the rock. The question I have had from the beginning was "How did this rock come into existence with the features that I have seen?" What I have is a rock that is full of vesicles that are full of sand. Originally I thought the lava rock had formed full of holes and that the sand was later deposited in these "holes." But after taking a core sample from the middle of the rock, and some other experiments involving water, I was able to conclude that the rock didn't form that way. It formed by lava moving through a bed of dry sand. The sand exists all through the rock and is even in the walls of the lava. When I first looked at the outer samples (which had much or the sand removed and/or melted when the rock passed through the atmosphere), I couldn't tell exactly how much sand there was or if it filled every vesicle.
The core sample was taken by driving a piece of 1/2" copper tubing directly into the rock. There was a vesicle on one side that was about an inch deep and exactly the same diameter as the copper tubing. This held it firmly in place while I struck the other end with a hammer.
Here you can see the overview of the sample taking. The upper left petri shows the core samples minus the one that was sent to Dick Reesman for testing. The upper right petri shows several "rocks" which represent the contents of different vesicles. Each of these has, to some degree, retained the shape of the vesicle from which it came. The lower left petri contains a piece of the copper tubing used to take the sample. The lower right petri is the remainder of sand that came from the taking of the cores.
I have included this picture to show the amount of damage to the copper tubing after taking the sample. Everyone knows the strength of copper tubing and so you can easily judge the strength of the meteorite. I have claimed this rock was very delicate and this offers proof. You can see that the tubing was only slightly damaged after driving through approximately three inches of meteorite material. This material could not last 13 million years on the Earth without being torn completely apart. If it had been on Earth all this time, it would be dust instead of a complete rock filled with sand.
The next thing I wanted to determine was if this sand represents the original material that was present when the lava was flowing. I reasoned that an examination of the contents of the vesicles might give me clues to its involvement in the creation of this rock. The petri at the top right of the overview picture represents the "rocks" that I examined. I first started by removing the several little "rocks" from the debris of the lower right petri. This material appears under a microscope to be parts of an old dry river system. I originally placed five of these samples in this petri. I used a tool and squashed two of them to see how strong they were. They easily broke apart and the sand you see in the upper right petri came from the first two I broke apart. This demonstrates that the bonds holding these particles together are not strong and are probably the bonds that formed when the water evaporated from the sample, millions of years ago.
Since the first two "rocks" that I broke apart only had sand in them and seemed pretty delicate, I decided to place a drop of water on the next "rock." Here is a picture before the water was added.
Much to my surprise, look what I found when I put water on this sample.
I think this little rock proves that all of the sandy material inside the vesicles of this rock has been there since the lava encased it. This rock was covered on all sides by the sand. It was much too deep within the meteorite to have gotten there by any process after the lava hardened. It is too big to have infiltrated its way to the center of the meteorite. The only way that I believe that the rock could get inside the meteorite is by the lava flowing around the rock as it "captured" it. If water had ever touched this sample, you can see that the sand would have been removed. This tiny little rock had to have existed in the sand before the lava flowed.
Also, I wanted to see if there was any magnetic particles that I was sure came from within the sandy material. When I squashed the first little sandy "rock" I ran a magnet over the sample while viewing it through my microscope. I saw numerous particles "jump" to the magnet. The picture below shows magnetic particles clinging to a magnet. The magnet was cleaned and observed to be free of particles before the experiment began. All of the particles shown in the next picture came from within the sandy material that came from the insides of the meteorite.
