I'm having a problem with a simple html login page I made, where when I submit the login form with invalid credentials the form still submits, even though my validation method is executing the "return false" command. I know that this question has been asked a multitude of times here, but none of the answers to those questions have helped me.
My html form is as follows:
<form onSubmit="return validateForm();" method="get" action="TestPage.html">

<select id="centralPointSelect" data-inline="true" data-mini="true" data-native-menu="false" name="centralPoint"></select>

<input id="userField" type="text" name="Username" />
<input id="passField" type="password" name="Password" />

<input id="loginBtn" type="submit" value="Login" />

<input type="checkbox" id="checkbox-1" class="custom" data-mini="true" name="rememberMe" />
Keep me signed in

<input id="forgotPass" type="button" data-mini="true" value="Forgot password?" />
And here is my javascript method. Note that even if the only line of code in here is "return false;" the form still submits. I've also checked in firebug to make sure that the method is actually being called and that it is indeed returning false, and it all checks out.
function validateForm()
var usernameTxt = $("#userField").attr("value");
var passwordTxt = $("#passField").attr("value");
if (usernameTxt == "" || passwordTxt == "" || (usernameTxt == userLbl && passwordTxt == passLbl))
$("#errorMsg").html("Please enter a username and password.");
return false;
Is there something really obvious that I'm missing? I'm not binding the onsubmit event in any way other than what you can see in the html form tag, nor am I assigning any click handler to the submit button.
It might be relevant that I'm using JQuery mobile, is it possible that this is doing something with my form?

Drug movie causes hangover
Soderbergh film could use an intervention
By Tim Pompey 02/14/2013
Side Effects
Directed by Steven Soderbergh
Starring: Rooney Mara, Channing Tatum, Jude Law, Catherine Zeta-Jones
Rated R for sexuality, nudity,
violence and language
1 hr. 46 mins.
Warning: This film is not what you think, and the problem is, if I actually shared the plot with you, it would spoil the surprise. So imagine my quandary, trying to review a film that really depends on you not knowing what the film is about.
The truth is that director Steven Soderbergh and writer Scott Z. Burns are clever guys who want to set you up like a mouse sniffing at cheese in a mouse trap. I admit that I took their bait, and so will you, probably.
But out of embarrassment and revenge, I'm not going to help you understand this film any more than I did when I first sat in my theater seat. Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't give you some hints, but, as you can gather, I'm going to do my darndest to suck you in and leave you hanging.
This is a movie about drugs, the legal kind that doctors prescribe by the millions for people suffering from anxiety and depression. People like Emily Taylor (Rooney Mara), a wife who had it all: a rich husband, a good lifestyle, a healthy ego. Then her husband, Martin (Channing Tatum), was arrested and imprisoned for insider trading and all her upwardly mobile social props blew away.
Emily went into a deep depression and was treated early on by Dr. Victoria Siebert (Catherine Zeta-Jones). As the movie opens, Martin has been released from jail and they're trying to get their old lives back. But despite their best efforts, Emily still seems to be suffering from depression.
After a botched suicide attempt, she agrees to be treated by Dr. Jonathan Banks (Jude Law). He eventually prescribes a new drug called Ablixa. Banks observes that Emily is making progress until something terrible happens and both Emily and Banks are left to wrestle with one of the drug's more disturbing side effects.
That's it. That's all you get. Anything else would ruin the story. Suffice it to say that Soderbergh and Burns are spinning a master web of human intrigue in much the same vein as Body Heat and Primal Fear. You're thinking one thing. They're taking you somewhere else.
It's all well-directed and well-written, except for one thing: this film has a double twist. Not that unusual for dramatic mysteries, but in this case, the first twist is so powerful and convincing that adding a second steals some thunder from the original and makes the resolution and ending seem contrived and weak.
It's too bad because Zeta-Jones and Mara give convincing performances and Law seems genuinely overmatched and about to be swept under a flood of suspicion and malpractice. It all seems to be rolling splendidly downhill. Until . . .
I think how people feel about the ending will determine whether or not they enjoy the film. I know some people want resolution. I prefer dark and murky. I like that Ned Racine woke up in a jail cell and realized that Matty Walker had played him. Great film. Great ending.
This time around, Side Effects is a good film with a questionable ending because Soderbergh and Burns just couldn't leave well enough alone. They chose to keep pressing on and, as a result, let a lot of air out of the balloon.
It can be grimly satisfying to let the darkness have its moment. Think Hannibal Lecter as he walks away from the phone booth in Silence of the Lambs. Remember that feeling of absolute terror? Yes, I do. It's the kind of savage satisfaction, that hollow feeling in the pit of the stomach when we realize that smart people get away with murder. Sometimes it really is more fun to watch the bad guys win.

Can you resolve a dispute between myself and my girlfriend? She recently won a game with what I think is a double movement( although there's no mention of this in the rule book).
She put one two letters down to make one word, which also scored linked to another letter. But she then added another letter immediately to the left of the finished word, which then extended the second word. I just don't think you can make a second movement like this in scrabble!
Can you resolve this for me please?

If a photon hits a proton, would it have a color? What color would it be?
The proton is way smaller than a wavelength of visible light. But blue light has a shorter wavelength than any other visible color, red light is longer wavelength, blue is shorter, other colors in the middle somewhere.
White light is a mixture of all the colors of light, all the wavelengths in the visible range. If you illuminate the proton with white light, almost all the white light will just go past the proton, not reflect back, because the proton is so small. But of the small amount of light that does reflect back, a higher fraction of it will be blue light and a lower fraction of it will be red light. So the reflection would appear blue.
This is pretty much the same effect that makes the sky blue. Tiny particles in the sky don't reflect much of the sun's light going past them, but of the small amount they do reflect, more of it is blue than any other color.
See yourself. This is a photo:
From here.
The color of the proton would be the color of the photon you are using. This is assuming the photon scatters off of the proton and goes into your eyes. Our eyes only detect visible light, so we can only see those colors. If the photon you are using does not scatter off of the proton and go back to your eye, then you won't see it at all. Also, I don't believe protons absorb photons, only electrons do. (Correct me if I am wrong physics community). Thus, you can only count on scattering. Then again, visible light's wavelengths, (hundreds of nanometers), are larger than a proton, so it'd be hard to get scatter in the first place. So in the end, I think you won't be able to see it at all if you are using visible light.
If your eye could detect protons, which it doesn't, but if it did, your brain would assign it a color. Not red, not blue, not green or any other combination. It would be proton colored. So the answer to the title question is 'proton colored'.

The stories that comprise MFA alumna Jamie Quatro '09's recently released debut collection, I Want to Show You More, according to noted literary critic James Wood in his New Yorker review, "are passionate, sensuous, savagely intense, and remarkable for their brave dualism."
Added the March 21 New York Times Sunday Book Review, "[The collection] draws from a small pool of particular and unexpectedly resonant themes—Christianity, marital infidelity, cancer, running—and examines and recombines them with impressive agility and inventiveness. It is a strange, thrilling and disarmingly honest piece of work."
Quatro's stories have appeared or are forthcoming in The PEN/O.Henry Prize Stories, Ploughshares, The Kenyon Review, Tin House, Oxford American, McSweeney's, The Southern Review, and elsewhere.

I'm being asked to disable the subsite creation ability and "personal document library" that exist under the Content tab in My Site. I did some searching, but don't see any info on this. Is it possible, and if so what is the best way?
First of all, it is not meant to function as such, because the actual My Sites concept revolves around the User being Site Collection Administrator by default. What you could do is rely on Feature Stapling (attach it to SPSPERS#0 site templates) to activate your own feature which could then perform operations post-provisioning to: 1. Either remove default Site Collection Administrator and assign a custom permission level 2. Remove the actual Library as soon the site collection gets provisioned.
Of course you could act and do a lot of other customizations at that stage.
If you haven't solved this yet check this blog post: http://blog.beckybertram.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?List=5489bebf-bd8d-4a6f-995b-3a0a456796f6&ID=101&Web=316c15c2-6bc0-464f-bda1-7ba96b4ba453

Endocrine therapy and chemotherapy for breast cancer and Her-2/neu overexpression: Science in Action: Part II
Please use for reference only.
Julia Draznin Maltzman, MD
Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: October 27, 2003
Her-2/Neu and Hormonal Therapy
There is some evidence that amplification of the c-erb B2 gene may cause resistance to nolvadex (Tamoxifen) therapy for breast cancer. This resistance can be a direct or an indirect effect. For example, in vitro studies suggest that there exists a "cross talk" pathway between the Her-2/neu and the Estrogen Receptor (ER) signal transduction pathways. Once the Human Epidermal Growth Factor protein binds to its receptor, Her-2/neu, multiple signals are initiated with in the cell. One of these secondary signals may modulate the expression of the ER. Other theories on how amplification of c-erb B2 renders breast cancer cells hormone resistant includes modification of the ER itself and its independent activation.
There have been several trials showing that Her-2/neu overexpression confers hormone resistance. The first of these was a cooperative Italian trial, published in 1996 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology (JCO). The trial assigned node negative patients to either nolvadex or observation for 2 years. Patients in the nolvadex arm had a much better overall survival and 10-year disease free survival than the untreated arm in c-erb B2 negative patients. In sharp contrast, patients with c-erb B2 overexpression who used nolvadex had a much worse overall survival and 10 year disease free survival than the group of patients not taking nolvadex.
A similar trial done in node positive patients conferred the same results. Premenopausal node positive women were assigned to receive Cyclophosphamide, Methotrexate, and Fluorouracil (CMF) with and without nolvadex for a two-year period. Postmenopausal women were treated only with hormones. The results were identical in that the benefit from nolvadex was not seen in Her-2/neu overexpressors. In fact, a statistically insignificant trend towards a poorer outcome was noted in the c-erb B2 positive tumors.
In a landmark paper published in the JCO in 2001, nolvadex and letrozole (Femara, Novartis) were compared as neo adjuvant therapy for hormone receptor positive patients. In the same trial, a retrospective analysis, found that Her-2/neu overexpression did not affect response to Letrozole whereas it did confer nolvadex resistance. These data are provocative, however, they are insufficient to use Her-2/neu overexpression as a criteria to select hormone therapy.
Other trials showed no impact of c-erb B2 amplification and response to hormone therapy. For example, a Danish Breast Cancer Cooperative group looked at more than 1000 women with early stage breast cancer treated with nolvadex or with observation. C-erb B2 amplification was not associated with a worse five or even ten year disease free survival in patients treated with nolvadex.
To further confuse the issue, yet other studies suggest Her-2/neu overexpression to positively affect response to nolvadex therapy. Premenopausal, node negative and positive, women were split into two groups; one receiving combination ovarian ablation and nolvadex therapy and the other close observation. Her-2/neu overexpression was associated with a significantly greater benefit from hormone therapy versus observation.
Similar conflicting studies exist in the metastatic breast cancer literature. Despite contradictory results, however, the American Society of Clinical Oncology does not recommend the use of Her-2/neu overexpression as a criteria for giving or choosing hormone therapy in either adjuvant or metastatic disease settings. It is thought that Her-2/neu overexpression is a reflection of a poor prognosis in general, rather than a predictive factor as to who will respond to hormone therapy. On going studies are actively trying to answer this complicated and interesting question.
Her-2/neu overexpression and chemotherapy
The association of c-erb B2 gene amplification and response to chemotherapy was initially suggested by the observation of improved chemotherapy action by the addition of Trastuzumab (see part Her-2/neu part I). At least in vitro, the toxic effects of various chemotherapy agents were enhanced by the addition of this monoclonal antibody. In vivo, however, the data again are contradictory. It is generally accepted that Her-2/neu positive patients would benefit from an anthracycline-based chemotherapy. However, that is likely due to the fact, that Her-2/neu positive patients tend to have a worse prognosis and need to be treated with the most powerful agents available. If synergy exists between c-erb B2 amplification and drugs like Doxorubicin as is suggested by some in vitro data, then that is another reason to use these agents.
What is trastuzumab and does it work?
Trastuzumab belongs to a class of cancer drugs called monoclonal antibodies. It is a recombinant, humanized, monoclonal antibody, which binds to the Her-2/neu receptor protein on the outside of the cell. This binding, blocks the interaction of the Her-2/neu receptor with the human epidermal growth factor protein. By blocking the communication between a receptor and its complementary protein, the drug effectively shuts off growth and differentiation signals to the cell. The theory is that if there is no signal communicated to the cell telling it to grow and divide, it will not do so. Trastuzumab only works in patients who have an increased amount of Her-2/neu protein and has little effect in cancers that do not overexpress this receptor.
Trastuzumab is given by an IV drip. It can be given in the outpatient setting and does not require admission. Because it works primarily on cancer cells that overexpress the receptor, it has little effect on normal tissue and side effects seem to be mild. It is currently given only for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.
Trastuzumab has shown activity as a single agent in both chemotherapy naive and previously treated patients with metastatic breast cancer. However, the most promising data is reported when trastuzumab is given in combination with other chemotherapy. Pre-clinical data has shown that trastuzumab has synergistic activity with a variety of chemotherapeutics including paclitaxel (Taxol, Bristol-Myers Squibb), and docetaxel (Taxotere, Aventis).
Two important trials established the use of this monoclonal antibody in the metastatic setting. One trial looked at survival and time to progression in patients receiving chemotherapy alone or chemotherapy with trastuzumab. The women in the combination arm of the study had slower tumor growth, greater reduction in tumor size, and longer survival than those who received chemotherapy alone. The other pivotal trial showed that 14% of patients receiving trastuzumab by itself had tumor regression.
Many clinical trials using trastuzumab alone or in various combinations have been conducted since these data were made available. Researchers are investigating the best chemotherapeutic regimen to use with trastuzumab and its effect on endocrine therapy.
What will the future bring?
Many more clinical trials are on the way using trastuzumab in the adjuvant setting rather than in metastatic disease. We eagerly await these data. Breast cancer is not the only cancer that may overexpress Her-2/neu. Stomach and pancreatic cancer are two additional examples. Research is also being done to evaluate the role of this antibody in other malignancies.
More interestingly, the current data is both perplexing and often inconsistent in the overall treatment of Her-2/neu positive patients. There is a body of literature that claims e-erb B2 amplification may be associated with hormone therapy resistance. Furthermore, some contend that there is a predictable association between Her-2/neu overexpression and response to certain chemotherapeutic regimens. The latter claim is suggested by the observation that trastuzumab's activity is enhanced by the addition of certain chemotherapeutics. Next week, we will evaluate and critically analyze these confusing and conflicting data.
Special thanks to Dr. Steven Stein for help in navigating the massive literature for Her-2/neu that resulted in the summaries found in this column.

'All in a day's work': Reporters arrested at Occupy protests
The Committee to Protect Journalists normally calls attention to the plight of reporters and editors the world over who are coerced, beaten or murdered for reporting the news. It now finds it necessary to call attention to the way police have arrested and otherwise interfered with journalists trying to report on the Occupy demonstrations."Occupy Protests Present a New Terrain of Risk for Reporters," the Columbia Journalism Review reports.What country is this?The Newspaper Guild has long represented journalists and, in keeping with journalistic tradition, doesn't normally inject itself into public disputes. It, too, has lodged protests:
Weve now faced a spate of journalist arrests as governments have moved to close down Occupy camps. Now, more than ever, we need to understand the Occupy movement. Journalists who are incarcerated cant get their stories out.Most notably, New York City prevented journalists from doing their work. With overly harsh tactics, Mayor Michael Bloomberg played a strong hand in forcing protestors out of Zuccotti Park.As citizens we need to know the true story of Occupy, and we need to know how law enforcement handles the protestors. The First Amendment allows peaceful protests, and the ability to report on them especially when that peace is shattered for whatever reason. Blocking journalists from reporting suggests there is something to hide.
The Guild set up a Facebook page, Occupied Journalists, to chronicle the story.The protesters are not blame-free; in some cases, they have attacked or threatened journalists. They taunt and harass police with screaming invective. But the greater concern is that the power of government is being wielded, bluntly at times and incidentally at others, to conceal the truth.News organizations, often reluctant to put themselves into the midst of a contentious story, should report on this. But strangely, one of the brashest voices in American journalism, the editorial board of real estate executive Mort Zuckerman's Daily News, was unconcerned that the paper's reporter was placed under arrest when he should have been providing on-the-scene reports of the early-morning police raid on Zuccotti Park:
Yes, some journalists, including a Daily Newser, were taken in for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Prompt release was had. Chalk it up to all in a days work and getting a tale to tell the grandkids.

Institutional protection laps over.So goes the power of the growing plutocracy....
What happened in Toronto at the G20 should have been a warning to all democratic societies. Politicians have now ceded control of society over to the police. Police in Toronto effectively went rouge, removing their badges, used kettling, and made the largest mass arrest in Canadian history. 99% percent were released without charges after being penned up over night without food, water, proper toilet facilities etc. And no f...ing level of government has ever instituted a proper inquiry as to what and why it happened. Since 9-11 the police have our politicians cowed and they know it. So I'm not the least bit surprised that such tactics are now being applied to the Occupy movement both in the USA and Canada.
I'm finding the creeping violence of this upsetting. Yes, the protestors have their own share of the blame, but I'm more distressed by the videos of the police with helmets and batons beating on these kids. It isn't necessary and NYC isn't supposed to be this way.
Very strange that occupiers are screaming at journalists. How else are they going to get their story amplified beyond the local level? Moreover, if OWS had anybody who was any good at agitprop, they'd be watching how coverage plays out and honing their message to maintain support.More evidence that the protest has tapped into a visceral sense of frustration, but has no clear goals, no clear message to communicate, and cannot really galvanize into a movement a la the Tea Party. Lord knows, I love a doomed cause, but OWS has so far failed to coalesce into anything more than general discontent.
I continue to be surprised at the mantra being repeated endlessly that OWS has no goals and no agenda and has had communicated nothing of merit. I thought that we were in the era of investigative journalism. http://coupmedia.org/the-sovereign-peoples-movement.html
My guess is that most of the OWS protestors are in a sense, complaining about the same things the Tea Party folks protested; that the government is so big that it bailed out banks and bought car companies and that now we are all broke. The difference between OWS folks and Tea Partiers is that Tea Party folks have jobs, they are the dreaded and boring, working middle class who are trying to live their lives, provide for and raise their children, and tend their aging parents. The OWS folks seem to have only recently noticed the state of the economy, and most look like they live with mom & dad, party and sleep late. Keeping that in mind, it seems to me the OWS folks woke up a few months ago, turned off the video game, walked around outdoors a bit, and noticed that the economy sucks right now. They do not like this, nor have they any real idea how it got this way, but they emote and want things to be different.The big government some of the claim they want, would deliver the exact opposite of what they most probably really want i.e., freedom. Most are being used by hard-Leftists and as such are fodder for the rabble which Leftists from time immemorial have loved to use to molest decent society.In comparison with the Tea Party movement, the OWS protest is tiny. Several hundred thousand Tea Partiers converged on the National Mall and, after they respectfully minded the police and had their say, they left the place neat and tidy. They gathered around the country as well, and eventually elected some like-minded people to congress. In short, they focused their energy and got reasonable results.The OWS crowd is much, much smaller (only in the hundreds), but wherever they have gathered, they leave the place a total mess. They seem unable to focus on much of anything except their emotions; they are upset and want the world to know they are special and that they are sad. Well. And what is with all the drumming anyway? They could give that a rest.
I guess Ken's not big on OWS but loves the Tea Party/I thought the thread was about the treatment of reporters, but.....
There seems to be a common assumption that OWS has no goals and no program to implement any particular goals. This, I think, is false. The goal is to change a grossly unfair tax system into a fair one. The common signs with the catch-phrase 1 percent - 99 percent shows this even if no particular leader is on a soap- box speechifying about it. The tax system is patently unfair no matter which definition of "fair" you use. The system is so morally grotesque that even 80 year old middle class women who can hardly stand upright are demonstrating. True, OWS is not organized enough to present a general program for changing the political players of system (i.e., the legislators). But there isn't any general solution because the ultimate problems are local: there are not enough honorable, capable people running for office, so we're stuck voting for least-evil candidates.
A fun fact -- Some of the Federalist Papers were composed on the site of Zuccotti Park. John Jay, "the first chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, lived in a house at this former address [133 Broadway] in 1787 when he co-wrote the Federalist Papers."http://www.nysonglines.com/broadway.htm#libertySo, while we're waiting for someone to reveal the deep meaning and historic significance of OWS we could do well to thumb through the writings of this earlier resident of Zuccotti Park (added bonus: he was anti-Catholic).
By standards of past Wall Street demonstration OWS hardly registers on the protest scale. Here's an informative site about major crises in 1792, 1837, 1857, 1874 and 1930:http://www.gothamcenter.org/features/protests/index.shtmlHere's one religious response to the Panic of 1857, undoubtedly a shallow effort when placed against the pronouncements of contemporary chaplains of OWS:"The pastor of New York's largest Presbyterian Church, announced that the Panic was God's work. Many Wall Streeters agreed and hied to their churches to pray for relief. By mid-winter 1858, merchants and clerks were jamming lunch hour prayer meetings at the local John Street Methodist Church. The Journal of Commerce encouraged more readers to participate:'Steal away from Wall Streetand every worldly care,And spend an hour about mid-dayin humble, hopeful prayer.'"
Come off it, Ken. Just because you have a job and your neighbor doesn't, that doesn't mean that YOU are virtuous and He isn't. You need to re-assess your premises.
Again, I thought the thread was about journa;ists and police actions - which does not seem to bother anyone here except the maker of the thread and yours truly.As to OWS, an interesting take by Fr. Massaro in the new America - has the movement pricked a few consciences, or, is morality accoring to economic ideology still holding sawy?
Please Ann; I did not say anything like that. I only point out that as a practical matter, and a matter of being civil, the Tea Party crowd is tidier and in 2010 anyway, managed to elect some of their folks to office.Otherwise, my point is that while the OWS folks are a bit late in realizing it, most middle class Americans would agree with them that yes, the economy is tough right now. What amazes me is that is seems these OWS people only recently came to this realization. Gosh, the rest of us have been paying bills and dealing with this downturn since 2008. I have watched the parade of czars, bailing out this or that to-big-to-fail financial firm or car company; most of it for naught, except for big boys like GE who play golf with the president and move X-ray factories like the one in Ohio to China, do not pay any taxes, and end up being appoint to President Obama's jobs committee. Those kind of farces frustrate everybody.Yes most people are frustrated - and worried. For my part, I and many others like me have hunkered down financially, trimmed spending and are keeping my head down tending to work, no frills, waiting for the next election. In my opinion, hollering around, pouting all over, drinking in the streets, sleeping in the park, damaging property and inconveniencing everyone in sight (in the local area) would not help solve much of anything.We all have emotions; we all have feelings, we are all Gods children, and times like these are stressful. That does not mean however, that I or others should just melt down emotionally or lose my head and trash a park or another mans business or his property.Times like these call for getting ones wits together and figure what to do in order to get back to some level of prosperity.The government can barely run the post office and the DMV. It is not fair to expect it to oversee via central planning, a national recovery. One thing the government can do now is get out of the way for the moment; to tend things it is supposed to tend, like the military, the border, and dealing with foreign powers (i.e., things like treaties, tariffs, and alliances).No, I do not think I am virtuous because I have a job. In fact I am not virtuous; I am a normal person, a sinner who worries, works and tries on my own, but who ultimately relies of God.
Oops - I meant "too-big-too-fail"
Some stuff some of you may not be aware of regarding OWS."One of the interesting phenomena of OWS which is not reported on a lot, because it doesnt really happen down in the square, is these working groups that have been established. There's about 60 or 70 of them now, which are trying to tackle particular issues from recycling to alternative banking. The alternative banking group has attracted an incredible array of people who you would not normally expect to see as part of a protest movement a former SEC regulator, a professor of financial law and several bankers, all of whom are thinking about and discussing how to create a better financial system. I was pretty amazed, at the first meeting, at who showed up."http://thebrowser.com/interviews/carne-ross-on-leaderless-revolutionCarne Ross is a one time British Diplomat, you will find out more if you read the article.
Tidy: THE American virtue of the Tea Party.OWS: THE American conscience that tends to be a bit messy around the edges.
I'm very sympathetic to the journalists, but I'm wondering, is there an expectation that journalists should somehow be safer/more protected than the protesters themselves? I think the police should show more restraint with everyone- protesters and journalists both.Regarding the diversity of the movement, by favorite Occupiers might be the Occupy Marines- separated and retired Marines that support the Occupy Movement. http://occupymarines.org/ Veterans have a much higher rate of unemployment than the rest of us; this is just a tragedy and I am glad the veterans are mobilizing.
And also Occupy Army, Navy Air Force, and lets not forget, Occupy Police. The police,too, are the 99%
Thanks Irene, very interesting to see other facets of this that are not making headlines.
Rights like Freedom of Press are some of the basic requirements our Founding Fathers based our ENTIRE legal and political systems on. These rights are being endangered and flat-out violated by denying access to Occupy events to witness the police brutality going on in the police state we are being subjected to. Raise your voice and concern and defend the rights we are entitled to by spreading the word with these free posters I designed on my artists blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/11/propaganda-for-occupy-movemen...
"There seems to be a common assumption that OWS has no goals and no program to implement any particular goals. This, I think, is false. The goal is to change a grossly unfair tax system into a fair one."I think this is true, that the various concerns heard earlier from the first OWS protesters--worries about food inspection, the environment, health care insurance, etc.--seem to be coalescing into a tax protest. Food inspection, protecting the environment, providing health care--these are not possible in a society where the gap between rich and poor is growing.As for being obnoxious and untidy ... Let's not forget the loudmouths in their tricorn hats who stampeded through Congress with their "Don't Tread on Me" flags, or the ones who shouted down everybody at town hall meetings when the health care bill was in the offing.
SIDEBAR C-Span just had an interview with Jon Huntsman at the Brookings Institute. At last, a credible Republican candidate. Not as extreme as I expected.It was part of the C-Span Road to the White House series. I expect it will be repeated some time later today..
Think about how the Crown responded to the "protesters" in the 1770s in the Colonies. Now think about the response to the Tea Party and to OWS. Which seems more similar?
Our local paper today carried a full page by a grad student at NY Mt.Sinai Medical Colge who joined the scene as Zuccotti park was emptied and the varied postures of"authorities."NYT has a piece by the former poet laurette of the US who with his wife joined the crowd at Berkley to see how demonstrators were treated Theyre knocked to the ground or hit -got to get the tents out of there..Then there's UC Davis and more.Protecting order.Even if order is not working very well -the disparagers of the folks in OWS should disparage a congress with 9% pitiable approval rating who can't maove our country forward by working togther!

Would you have gone to see a life sized USS Enterprise(Star Trek) in Las Vegas?
A plan to reinvigorate downtown Las Vegas with a life-size replica of the famous USS Enterprise from Star Trek has been revealed, twenty years after it was originally conceived.
This would've been really cool. Do you approve and would you have made it a travel destination to see it?
22 Answers answer
No. Millennium Falcon or Death Star replicas, yes!
Obviously, the Death Star would not be life-sized. Although, now that Pluto isn't a planet, maybe we could repurpose it....
Only if they could use the transporter to get me there....
It would have definitely made Las Vegas more of an attraction for me. I have no interest in gambling, but might have gone just to see that.
Wouldn't a life sized Enterprise be extremely large? I mean, large enough that it would be impossible to get a return profit on
@90mcg112: Win.
I'm going to Vegas today.. and yeah I'm there more for the attractions as well.
But judging from the pictures... man it's like a sight for sore eyes... or like that dent on someones car... it's hella noticeable lol like rendering the Luxor Pyramid useless.
OH, and I'd ask Siri to "Beam me up".
Not unless it was fully functional so I could boldly go where no man has gone before.
Scale USS Enterprises in Vegas? Ok the economy can't be THAT bad!
They could make this work. If it was more comical and if it was a "theme-park" type atmosphere, with bunch of rides, gift shops and restaurants, and not just some crazy Trekkie hang-out I'd go. I mean who doesn't like a theme park? The price would have to be competitive and I'd wait a good year after it opened for things to calm down. But as a theme-park enthusiast I would make the trip.
This project would have definitely drawn me Las Vegas for a visit, perhaps even as a place to relocate to. As it is, that is a city I have never seen since gambling has no attraction to me. I'm not really a Trekker, but I did find the show visionary. It seems the folks behind this project were visionary as well, but in the end Paramount did not want a permanant monument as a reminder to everyone if it flopped. That's not visionary at all and shows a complete disconect from human aspiration.
I would think it would have been more of an attraction before the Star Trek Experience closed down. I'm not a Trekkie but I am a sci-fi fan so we went to that. The most amusing thing by far was the huge, very in character and very funny Klingon chatting up customers in Quark's bar and grille. That and the Romulan Ale the guys drank that turned their pee bright blue.
Of course I would. It's only logical.
And, ahem, the more respectful term is "Trekker" not "Trekkie." Not that I AM one or anything. I mean I barely speak much Klingon and am years past my Pon Farr.....
Yes, I would go. I visited the Experience exhibit in Vegas twice. I'd be into visiting a similar exhibit. And yes, I also had fun hanging out at Quark's bar, and talking with the Klingon, the Ferengi, and the Borg drone.
@belyndag: I've always preferred Trekkie myself...then again, I wouldn't consider either one to be an insult.
I'm about a 4 hour car ride from Vegas, and I've gone there for worse reasons than a life-size Enterprise. I'd definitely make the trip for the express purpose of a visit at least once.
I don't know that it would have prompted me to make the trip, but it would have been a draw if I was already going or was going to be in that area of the country.
@gt0163c: We have a timeshare in Vegas, and have gotten pretty burned out on the place, as we don't gamble and don't drink much. So it would be cool if there was something like that new to visit. As is is we are waiting for Cirque to change its shows. I'm actually familiar with the "trekkie" vs "trekker" thing, but it's been many years since I heard "trekker" and figured it had died down. I attend SF, gaming and anime cons but not Trek stuff so I am not in the loop on the current politically correct Trekinology.
I would have gone there to see it. The sheer size of the thing would be staggering, no matter what series they based it on.
I like Star Trek and all, but no I would not go just for that. Although if I was going to get to see the USS Enterprise. I would want it to be the very 1st ship. I'm not a gambler either, so that would not get me there either.
First off let me say YES, YES, a thousand times YES!
now that that's out of my system...
while the purist in me says it should be the original constitution class TOS ship, complete with the, as Gene Roddenberry put it, "Des Moines Holiday Inn Style" corridors.
to make it more commercially viable though I would suggest Full Scale Galaxy Class Enterprise D (TNG). Now THAT would make a heck of a Hotel.
@moondrake and @gt0163c: I have to confess that I really don't know whether Trekker or Trekkie is more PC these days. I just wanted to rag on you folks. But I would like to contact the folks at Websters and recommend that the word "Trekinology" be added to the next edition of the dictionary!
only if it was the NCC-1701
no bloody A, no bloody B, no bloody C and no bloody D
I'm sure I would have gone to check it out at least once. But like with every other attraction in Vegas, there's a law of diminishing returns. You get a big turnout at first, then a little less the next year, then less the year after that until what was once "new and exciting" becomes "old and stale".
The author of the article said that the Fremont Street Experience revitalized downtown Vegas for about five years. I don't think that a $150 million Enterprise, catering to more of a niche audience, would have done any better.
Too far....but if I were in Vegas, I would NOT miss it.
YES, I definitely would. I never got to go to the Experience exhibit so I'd hope they would put all that stuff in it too.

Ash's Bulbasaur
this wiki
This Bulbasaur is a grass/poison-type Pokémon owned by Ash. He was the fourth Pokémon obtained by Ash in Kanto.
Bulbasaur is frequently viewed as the responsible leader of Ash's Pokémon, especially due to his actions at Professor Oak's lab. It is also a Pokémon Ash values more than most of his other Pokémon, possibly because he always wanted to catch one, as explained in Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village, although it was his second choice as a starter, after Squirtle. It also formed a bond with Pikachu and Squirtle while they fought together while part of Ash's team. But, at the start he disliked trainers as shown in Island of the Giant Pokémon where it said, "Maybe Ash has forgotten about us".
Bulbasaur's best friend in the group is Squirtle, who's immature, fun loving personality contrasts with Bulbasaur's serious, mature one. Nonetheless, all of Bulbasaur's immature acts have something to do with Squirtle, such as Bulbasaur beating up Squirtle after it ate its cookie, or using Squirtle as a sled after witnessing other Pokémon enjoying themselves on actual sleds. When Squirtle was leaving Bulbasaur looked away while shaking hands/vines, sad to see its friend go.
In Hokey Poké Balls, Bulbasaur also became friends with May's Bulbasaur when they briefly play together and he teaches her how to handle against James' Cacnea and Jessie's Seviper after she was unable to negate their attacks and later they work together to knock them down with their Vine Whip as the two are later seen doing a Vine Whip high five. Bulbasaur finally stays with May's in the later episode The Right Place and the Right Mime so that May allows her Bulbasaur to stay at Oak's lab to learn more from Ash's until she evolves twice in her evolutionary stage.
Ash's Bulbasaur resides at Professor Oak's Pokémon Lab , and constantly acts as a peacemaker and an ambassador between the rest of the Pokémon who were Grass-type and Water-type.
Original Series/Kanto
Bulbasaur was raised in the Hidden Village by Melanie, who cared for sick, injured, and abandoned Pokémon. Bulbasaur acted as the village's bodyguard, but after Ash helped defend the Hidden Village from an attack by Team Rocket, Melanie encouraged it to join Ash, explaining that its growth was being stunted by staying too long in the village. Although Bulbasaur initially appeared to distrust Ash, it agreed to join him. In Island of the Giant Pokémon, it alone assumed that Ash had abandoned it and the others. Its views on Trainers were presumably colored by all the abandoned Pokémon in the Hidden Village. Over time Bulbasaur grew to trust its new Trainer.
Bulbasaur is extremely stubborn, surly, and eager to battle. Although its surliness has lessened. It battled against Erika's Tangela and lost, but redeemed itself when battling against Aya's Venonat, where it sent Stun Spore back at it by blowing at it and beat it with Leech Seed. It had the opportunity to evolve after battling a powerful Rhyhorn with a very strong Take Down attack in Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden, but refused at a mass of Ivysaur as well as a Venusaur because it doesn't want to evolve at the Bulbasaur evolutionary festival. This allowed it to learn the powerful Solar Beam technique. Venusaur finally understand, but Ash say that Bulbasaur will be evolved if it wants to.
It has the heart of a fighter and it never gives up in a battle. It has the determination to keep fighting even if the odds are against it, defeating such varied opponents such as a herd of Exeggutor, despite the disadvantage. It also beat Jeanette Fisher's Beedrill with Tackle, and went on to battle Scyther despite the type disadvantages. After some trouble, he used Vine Whip to hit every Double Team clone and then hit the real Scyther with both vines knocking it out. Ash tried for the sweep with Bulbasaur, but he fell to her surprisingly strong Bellsprout. On one occasion Bulbasaur, along with Pikachu, was briefly lent to Misty to allow her to compete in the Princess Day Festival with a more balanced team, Bulbasaur single-handedly winning her first match by defeating a Kingler, Pinsir, Cubone and Raticate on its own.
Bulbasaur was also used to battle against Drake, the Orange League Champion, and his Electabuzz. Bulbasaur is undamaged by Thunder Shock and hits it with Razor Leaf. Bulbasaur then lands a Tackle, but is knocked out by Thunder Punch.
Bulbasaur was used to capture Heracross, who started sucking sab from its bulb, much to his annoyance. Bulbasaur became the only member of Ash's original team, save for Pikachu, to remain in his care, while it watched its best friend Squirtle and companion Charizard leave.
It battled against a wild Chikorita that Ash wished to capture. It was also used to fight Team Rocket, but was annoyed by Heracross, who was sucking the sap from his bulb. It was also used to battle Misty to decide who gets to keep Totodile. Bulbasaur looked set to beat her Poliwag with Razor Leaf, but it evolved into Poliwhirl and hit it with Bubble. Bulbasaur then flattened Poliwhirl with Solar Beam, winning the match for Ash. It also had a rematch with Aya and crippled it with Leech Seed once more, but this time, Venonat came back and almost won with Supersonic and Tackle, but Bulbasaur knocks it out with by throwing it with Vine Whip
Bulbasaur had stayed with him until midway in the Johto adventures in the episode, Bulbasaur... The Ambassador!, when it was sent back to Professor Oak's to keep the Pokémon there from quarreling with each other. When Bulbasaur was mauled with both grass and water-type Pokemon while Tracey's Marill, Venonat and Scyther to stop them. The fight stops when Bulbasaur unleashes its Solar Beam as the two wild Bellossom does a peace dance. Bulbasaur serves as a peacemaker of both water and grass-type Pokemon and seeing their quarrels because of the dispute of the Water-type Pokemon lake. It decides to make a new lake for Grass Pokemon by digging and it also convinces a wild Poliwhirl to wash the ground with Water Gun and three Sandslash to Dig. Once the lake is already made, it saved an Oddish from a falling boulder, as both water and grass Pokemon are saddened thinking it was killed and Bulbasaur was revealed to be alive by using Dig. Professor Oak convinces Ash to keep Bulbasaur at his lab to serve as its peacemaker which Ash agrees. Bulbasaur is last seen watching stars knowing that he will miss Ash, Pikachu and its friends.
Bulbasaur came back alongside its friend Squirtle in the Johto League, where Squirtle was mocked by Jackson's Azumarill, as well as being slapped in the face. Bulbasaur calmly restrains them, but the better half of the duo joins the fray when Jackson's Meganium mocks it. He battles against Jackson's Magneton, who had defeated two of Ash's Pokémon in the 3-on-3 match. Bulbasaur learned from Pikachu and Cydaquil's mistakes, and despite being the most disadvantaged one out of the three, he takes the win with Leech Seed and Vine Whip. He then battled against Meganium, who he still had a bitter rivalry for the pride of Grass-type Pokemon. Despite Bulbasaur being tired from the previous battle while Meganium is healthy, Bulbasaur dodges Body Slam an lands a Razor Leaf, while being hit by Meganium's Razor Leaf. It reverses its Body Slam by using Vine Whip around its neck and pelts it with Razor Leaves and Vine Whips, before a double Solar Beam takes them both out, resulting in a tie for the two trainers, and Ash advancing to the next round.
Advanced Generation Series
Bulbasaur later returned in Hokey Poké Balls to meet May's Bulbasaur, after it manages to catch Bulbasaur's Poké Ball with its Vine Whip after they failed to catch Team Rocket and the two Bulbasaur quickly became friends. Both Ash and May's Bulbasaur are teaming up to find the missing Poké Balls which are stolen by Team Rocket. When James activates the cabin into a large steel guard building, May, Max along with two Bulbasaur manage to get through the roof as their Vine Whip are used to get what's stolen. Pikachu manages to knock through the wall with Iron Tail. Cornered, Jessie and James uses Seviper and Cacnea to attack May's Bulbasaur who is unable to negate their attacks even her Razor Leaf. After Ash's Bulbasaur intercepts Cacnea's Pin Missile attack with Vine Whip to defend May's, both of them use Vine Whip to send Seviper and Cacnea flying towards Team Rocket while Brock calls the two Bulbasaur as Team Bulbasaur which Team Rocket gets upset for mocking their group's name. They send their Pokémon to attack again, but Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to blasts them off after Brock retrieves all of the Poké Balls they had stolen and the two Bulbasaur does a high five with their vines. Afterwards, Nurse Joy and the kids are thankful to both Ash and May's Bulbasaur to retrieve their Poke Balls until Bulbasaur was transported again by Professir Oak due to Water and Grass-type Pokemon are fighting at his lab. Before being transported back to Professor Oak's lab, Bulbasaur bids farewell to May's Bulbasaur while it happily patted her head with its vines. In The Right Place and the Right Mime, they were used to battle Team Rocket's Pokémon before the former are attacked by Misty's Azurill and Tracey's Marill's Water Gun followed by May's Combusken Fire Spin and Pikachu's Thunderbolt to blast them off. May decides to leave her Bulbasaur with Professor Oak so she can learn from Ash's.
It returns again along with Charizard and Squirtle to battle Brandon at the Battle Pyramid, and battled against Brandon's Dusclops. Although Dusclops managed to bring down Charizard, Bulbasaur was able to endure the unavoidable Shadow Punch and land a hit with Leech Seed, but struggled to overcome the Confuse Ray/Mean Look combo. Ash snapped it out of the confusion and defeated it with Solar Beam. Solrock's Psychic attacks were tougher to overcome, but in the end, both Pokémon were knocked out with a double Solar Beam.
Bulbasaur reappears in An Old Family Blend! in Professor Oak's Laboratory, where Heracross is sucking sap from its bulb, much to Bulbasaur's annoyance. It used Vine Whip to shove Heracross away.
Bulbasaur reappeared in a flashback in The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion! It reappeared in The Dream Continues!, where it greeted both Ash and Pikachu and summoned his Unova Pokémon using Solar Beam.

World Design Capital 2014: Top 5 things to look forward to
It's 2014 and we can finally welcome the much awaited #WDC2014, World Design Capital to Cape Town. WDC2014 is all about design in every sense of the word. With the theme, "Live Design, Transform Life" the Mother City is set to come alive with creative and innovative projects that promote responsible and sustainable design. The City of Cape Town has a full line-up of design-focused events, exhibitions, projects and initiatives throughout the year to transform the city and improve lives in our uniquely African context. Here are some of the highlights to look forward to in 2014:
WDC2014 Food
A year filled with deliciously curated food events will be taking place in and around Cape Town, aimed mostly at creating awareness to the public and stakeholders about our urban food economy. Look out for the Spier Secret Festival in October as we explore local and international cuisine and where it originates from, as well as the Cape Town Street Food Festival in March, where you'll be introduced to all our favourite local street food vendors.
The Better Living Challenge
The Western Cape Government has set up a 110% green initiative called The Better Living Challenge. What this project aims to accomplish is to promote development of sustainable housing for those in need, thus improving lives and addressing responsible design altogether. All shack dwellings, backyard structures, RDP homes and affordable government housing will be looked at in terms of design and innovation for The Better Living Challenge. This is one project that is specifically close to my heart.
Maboneng Township Arts Experience
This February and March will see the residents of Gugulethu open up their homes as the streets of the township become transformed into the Maboneng Township Arts Experience. The entire neighbourhood will be converted into art galleries and creative outdoor arenas that will host stages and acts from the performance arts districts. This will be the home of local film screenings, live music and an array of theatre productions that will be celebrated in this creative arts hub - a definite addition to my social calendar this year!
Red Bull Doodle Art Finals
Red Bull Doodle Art encourages young artists (or art enthusiasts) to express their creativity by picking up a doodle card and start sketching. Doodling has led to the creation of great works of art by legends such as Picasso and Andy Warhol. This year the finals for the global Red Bull Doodle Art contest will be hosted on the Grand Parade in Cape Town this October; and will showcase doodles from aspiring artists in over 50 markets. Rumour has it that we will also bear witness to an exciting piece of technology that's never been seen before in Africa.
100 Good Ideas - Celebrating 20 Years of Democracy
The year 2014 also marks 20 Years of Democracy for South Africa. For this reason, just over 50 creative industry thought leaders have come together to curate the best 100 ideas that initiated by South Africans to help showcase innovative design in the country. The project will include a coffee table book, social media activations, an online portal and a gallery exhibition with its own events programme. The event will proceed towards the end of February 2014.
There are loads more instore for you this year with World Design Capital, such as the Muizenberg Festival, iShack Project, Open Streets and GovHackSA (for the techies). For the full programme, visit #WDC2014. Throughout the year, we'll be posting our top things to do in Cape Town for #WDC2014. So make sure you're following us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to avoid FOMO.

General Discussion
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a rare group of blood disorders that occur as a result of disordered development of blood cells within the bone marrow. The three main types of blood elements (i.e., red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets) are affected. Red blood cells deliver oxygen to the body and remove carbon dioxide, white blood cells help fight infections, and platelets assist in clotting to stop blood loss. In MDS dysfunctional blood cells fail to develop normally and enter the bloodstream. As a result, individuals with MDS have abnormally low blood cell levels (low blood counts). General symptoms associated with MDS include fatigue, dizziness, weakness, bruising and bleeding, frequent infections, and headaches. In some cases, MDS may progress to life-threatening failure of the bone marrow or develop into an acute leukemia. The exact cause of MDS is unknown. There are no clear risk factors but genetics and the environment may play a part. Myelodysplastic syndromes were first noted in the medical literature in 1930s where they were described as pre-leukemic conditions. Myelodysplastic syndromes were not regarded as separate, distinct disorders until 1976. In the past, these disorders have also been known by a variety of names including refractory anemia, oligoblastic anemia, myelodysplastic anemia, pre-leukemia, and smoldering leukemia.

Coupon code doesn't really do anything, "Savings are based on original prices." For me, the definition of clearance is already at least 70% off. (I actually tested it, coupon resulted in the same prices that were already in my cart, no added savings.)
Try coupon code: "CLEARANCE5LB" on clearance items. It should knock 50% off.

I am working on a lemma that uses equivalence classes and $\equiv_{k}$ indicates that two sets are congruent mod $k$. Example: with $k=4$ there are $24$ possible sets, of which I only want to consider $6$ sets as congruent. I have an algorithm to create the appropriate equivalence classes.
I wanted a way to indicate that the equivalence classes were calculated differently. Since I am working with square-roots, I came up with:
which means square-root equivalence mod $k$. ($k$ is the square-root.)
Is it acceptable to create a new symbol for a paper?
Edit: $$\equiv^{\prime}_{k}$$ How about this? My proof uses $k^{\prime}$ as a second divisor.

"To say the least, I'm very disappointed in the results of the election. I feel like it has really set this community back to the 60s. Before they had city government here," says former Hiseville mayor Bill Phillips.
After dedicating 24 years of his life to being the mayor of Hiseville, Bill Phillips now has to shut down the city he loves so much.
Phillips says, "Judge (Davie) Greer and I are working with the county attorney and the city attorney to try a smooth transition here of all funds. And everything the city has over to the county."
The city helped form the fire department. Now, the Hiseville Fire Department will still exist, but they will not be eligible for city grants. They will be eligible for Barren County's fire grants, which are distributed evenly through ten fire departments. The fire department isn't the only thing city government was responsible for.
Phillips says they, "Upgraded all the streets here in town and built sidewalks to all the schools and the churches and post office."
The city government was dissolved because the city wanted to raise taxes. That's because the city had some debt and now that debt will transfer to the county.
Phillips says, "We have some debt. We're trying to work with the county attorney and the city attorney. There are some problems we are going to have to address. We don't have a solution to that at the moment."
Mayor Phillips says he is disappointed the people voted to disband the city government.
Phillips says, "Some friends have told me not to take it personally. But when you've given so much and loved every minute of doing it, it hurts. It really does."

Hello Everyone,
I just created my first Pano and have a few questions. I see a lot users used Pano2VR in conjuction to PTgui. When I look at a lot of the posts here that also say first pano nothing is displayed and a box stating pano2VR has expired. I happened to use PTgui for this pano but I had tried Panoweaver 6.0 and plublish it for a web site. Wasn't happy with the output and after trying PTgui I was amazed how easy the process was and good the picture looked.
I have a Nikon D300 with their 10.5 Fisheye and NN5. I only see a bit of a problem with the stiching at the top where the panduit shows. By the way I'm working here in Iraq and this is a 360 of my room. I took the top and bottom pics but only used 6 pictures for now it was getting late that night.
I will probally go ahead and buy the PTgui but does it not publish file for a web is that the reason for pano2VR. I had seen one usres panos that listed that was the software and his pano were just amazing. He was from Russia doing a 360 x 160 for a car to use in a camercial and listed the software. He also used Photoshop to edit the pictues. Everyone was so amazed they kept asking him his process.
Please look at mine and any tips suggestions is welcomed. I used live view to obtain what looked like good settings and Histogram and then shot in manual as I read suggestions from other users here. I was pleased with the quality of the shot but I may need to adjust the setting for I used the new Quick release system and 86 -4.5 for the quick releasr came to 81.5 but the Entrance Pupil per the manual should be close to my gold ring. I used 60% with 6 shots.

Interdisciplinary Degree Program
Registrar's Office
ACU Box 29141
Abilene, Texas 79699-9141
Hardin Administration Building, Room 207
Phone: 325-674-2300
Fax: 325-674-2238
Email: email@example.com
A composite interdisciplinary Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science may be designed to meet the student's needs.
The Master of Liberal Arts in interdisciplinary studies is available. See the Graduate School section of this catalog.
An individualized composite interdisciplinary major may be approved for a student whose life and career goals will be served by such a major. The student must work with the appropriate academic advisor(s) and the director of curriculum to design the degree plan, which will include the University and Degree Core general University requirements. The director of curriculum will then assign a primary and secondary advisor to work with the student.
Major Code: CIND
The "Composite Interdisciplinary Major" (CIND) is a special academic program that is designed to allow a student to integrate studies from multiple disciplines in the baccalaureate curriculum. This major builds upon a core of classes from different majors and combines them to create a degree plan satisfying some or all of the learning outcomes for multiple disciplines. Students may choose either the BA or BS degree for the CIND major. The student transcript after being awarded a degree includes the CIND major, as well as listed concentrations for each of the disciplines that comprised the major.
ACU also offers an interdisciplinary major with a liberal studies emphasis, which follows a degree plan for the learning outcomes of the University Requirement area and encompasses a broad learning initiative in elective hours across a number of disciplines. The liberal studies emphasis of this major does not include multiple disciplines, as liberal studies is a multidisciplinary study. Consequently, the student transcript only reflects the CIND major and a concentration in liberal studies, with no other disciplines listed.
Admission Requirements
Before being admitted to a composite interdisciplinary program, the student must have the following approvals:
- Department chairs from each area of study represented within the CIND degree plan must approve the course selection from that discipline, including finalizing required courses from that major that must be included in the degree plan. The student will gather learning outcomes from each department they wish to include in the major.
- The Registrar's Office must ensure that the plan meets the general graduation requirements for the University, and that areas selected for the CIND major are areas in which the university is approved to grant degrees (including minors), based on the catalog.
- The student must have fewer than 90 earned hours to declare a traditional, multidisciplinary CIND major. Students with more than 90 hours are limited to the liberal studies CIND major.
- A student must satisfy all requirements listed in the ACT/SAT Placement Information section of this catalog.
University Requirements
The composite interdisciplinary major will include the University and Degree Core appropriate to the BA or BS major.
Major Requirements
The composite interdisciplinary major will include all graduation requirements for the appropriate degree (BA or BS) as well as any special graduation requirements necessary to fulfill the student's goals. The degree plan, which will exceed the minimums for a major (see General Requirements for the Baccalaureate Degree) in the chosen BA or BS degree, can combine significant elements from two or more majors. Combined areas such as social sciences, humanities, behavioral sciences, fine arts or natural sciences may be used as one academic area. Minimum GPA requirements, both within major and cumulative, will be determined by the departments and programs involved. The major may include a minor, supplement and support areas. Generally, the degree will not exceed 128 hours; however, an interdisciplinary degree may exceed 128 hours with the student's understanding that the hours are necessary to satisfy the departmental elements that the student wishes to include in the major.
General Electives
Electives may be used to build the interdisciplinary degree if necessary.
Applying for a CIND Degree Plan
Students who wish to inquire about a CIND major should begin in the Registrar's Office for the appropriate forms and advising about the major.

The Arecibo Message was aimed at the globular star cluster M13, but as far as I read, M13 will move out of the original position and thus not be able to receive it. So, who or what will be able to receive the message?
The Arecibo Message was not broadcast with the aim that it would intercept with a notable astronomical object. Neither do we realistically expect that anyone will ever listen to the Voyager Golden Records.
Such symbolic gestures are simply vectors for public relations and education. We send these "time capsules" into space because we can, as a showcase of our technological achievements, and as a token of hope.

HILLSDALE — The Hillsdale Chargers soared to new volleyball heights last year, coming mere points away from playing in the national championship game.
Heading in to 2012, they lost a lot of what brought them there. Seven seniors graduated with three All-Americans among their ranks: Ashlee Crowder, Clara Leutheuser and Apryl Schmucker.
So Head Coach Chris Gravel can admit he sees why people are expecting a bit less this season, despite being ranked 10th in the county in the preseason AVCA Division II poll.
"Everyone thinks we're going to be down, because on paper that's what it shows," he said. "But we're not going to accept that."
With his 2012 team reporting to Hillsdale this week, they've already begun working on their new goal.
This year, they want their season to last one day longer.
"So, because we could only play one more day, that's kind of our theme now," Gravel said. "We want to build our program to play one more day, and find that elusive national title."

The definitive interpretation of Palin.
About the Author
14 comments

I'm enjoying Shatner's second career much more than the first.
Shatner was really the perfect pick for this. In everything he does these days from commercials to sitcoms has decided to leave the viewer wondering when his insanity is merely play-acting and when he is just being himself.
I hope Sarah Palin is smoking peyote or something while writing these speeches, then all would still be right with the world.
Shatner .... it's the mad cow, you know.Re the poem: Ommmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Hil-freaking-arious. A comment that I never thought I would leave on this blog!
For some reason this reminds me of Mad Libs (pun intended) with a spin. In fact, by doing a little editing on this page, one could come up with this: Hulu The viewer wondering Insanity or Simply smoking peyote It's the mad cow, you know- ommmmmmmmmmmm.... I suppose that, too, would be considered nonsense. :-)
Well, I don't know if I would like to be told that a speech I drafted made no more sense than stringing together a random series of comments that were made more or less independently of each other. "North to the future" has the same kind fo ring as "Beam me up Scotty" or even, different context, "Book'm Dano!"
Isn't it great when we can elevate the level of discourse, with a substantive critique of a politician's arguments?
Which arguments?
Sorry, Kathy. I tried to find the follow-up segment in which William Shatner dismantled Palin's complex anti-government-handout argument, but NBC hasn't made it available.
That's okay, Grant. Forgive me, I'm just sad and disillusioned by the apparent cultural difference between East coasters and Alaskans, the obvious intended audience of the speech.And, I think Captain Kirk was underappreciated.
Perhaps the difference is not so much cultural then, but linguistic.

James M. Buxbaum '55 was a law professor, political scientist, and television and film executive. He passed away on July 15, 2011, at the age of 83.
Buxbaum, born in Jamaica, N.Y., earned a bachelor's degree from Harvard College. He enrolled at Columbia Law School after serving in the U.S. Army.
After graduation, Buxbaum worked as a lawyer before leaving the profession in 1957 to join his cousin, Ivan Tors, at the Hollywood production company Ivan Tors Films Inc. Buxbaum produced, wrote, and edited for television series such as Sea Hunt, The Aquanauts, and Flipper, which featured an eponymous dolphin protagonist that became a pop culture icon.
