Rock Hill, S.C. - Brevard College's Kim Koivu was selected as the 2012 SAC Men's Golf Freshman of the Year and was also selected to the All-Conference First Team, as announced by the South Atlantic Conference on Friday afternoon.
"Kim has been an outstanding player and teammate this year. His play has elevated our program to new heights," commented Coach David Nelson. "He's by far the most dedicated player to the game I have ever coached. Hsi work ethic is second to none and his results are well deserved. We celebrate with him all his success this season."
Koivu, who twice shot rounds of 66, finished second in the SAC in adjusted scoring average at 72.78 and became the first BC freshman men's golfer to earn All-SAC recognition and second to earn First Team recognition, joining Grant Carnie (2009) as members of this elite group.
During the season, Koivu recorded three tournament wins as an individual and established BC records in rounds under par with eight and lowest two-round tournament total at 8-under par. Koivu also established the lowest stroke average (71.93) in the history of BC golf and finished the regular season ranked #12 in the nation in Division II by Golfstat.
"I'm extremely excited to see how Kim will play at the conference tournament," said Nelson. "He's also a leading candidate to get into NCAA regional play as an individual. Right now Kim is playing his best golf, having posted 5 rounds at par or better recently. I anticipate him continuing to help set the bar very high here at Brevard College."
Carson-Newman senior Liam Ashby was named the 2012 SAC Men's Golf Player of the Year. The announcement of the awards comes in advance of the 2012 Food Lion SAC Golf Championship, which tees off on Monday morning at Rock Barn in Conover, N.C.
Ashby led the conference in adjusted scoring average this season at 72.67.
The Dublin, Ireland native recorded one top-five finish and three top-20 finishes this season in eight events. Ashby's best round of the year came at the Bearcat Golf Classic, where he fired a second-round 68 – which tied for the third-lowest round score in the conference this season.
He is joined on the All-SAC First Team by teammates Gavin Hay and Jonathan Kim Moss, Wingate's Brian Denton and Brevard's Kim Koivu.
Hay's top round of the 2012 season came at the Bobcat Invitational where he carded a first-round 67, while Denton's top performance of the year was a 67 in the first round of the Tusculum Invitational.
Lincoln Memorial's Eric Kennedy, Newberry's Matthew Campbell, Catawba's Matt Hardman and Wingate Clifford Blanquicet and Antoine LeSaux made up the All-SAC Second Team.
Wingate's Corey Iacofano was named the SAC Coach of the Year after leading the Bulldogs to a stellar regular season that included tournament titles at the Honda Columbia Fall Classic, The Myrtle Beach Intercollegiate and the Carolina Sands Intercollegiate. Wingate also finished in the top five in five other events during the 2011-12 season.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- The ringleader in hair- and beard-cutting attacks on fellow Amish in Ohio was sentenced Friday to 15 years in prison and 15 family members received sentences of one year to seven years.
"The victims were terrorized and traumatized," U.S. District Court Judge Dan Aaron Polster said in sentencing leader Sam Mullet Sr., 67, who sat without emotion during the sentencing.
The judge said the defendants had violated the constitutional rights protecting religious practice that had benefited them as Amish -- such as an exemption from jury service and allowing Amish children to leave school at age 14.
"Each of you has received the benefits of that First Amendment," Polster said.
The judge said the defendants have two weeks to file an appeal of their sentence or conviction. Defense attorneys have indicated such appeals are likely.
Before his sentencing, Mullet told the judge that he had been blamed for running a cult and was ready to take the punishment. Mullet, his ankles in chains and a white beard down to mid-chest, said if his community is seen as a cult, "Then I'm going to take the punishment for everybody."
With relatives of victims and his family sitting on opposite sides of the public gallery, Mullet said he has lived his life trying to help others.
"That's been my goal all my life," Mullet said to a hushed courtroom, with his fellow defendants and their attorneys sitting at four defense tables and filling the jury box.
"I'm not going to be here much longer," said Mullet, who didn't elaborate on any health issues.
Mullet and his family deny his community is a cult. The government asked for a life sentence for Mullet. The defense asked for two years or less.
The 10 men and six women were convicted last year in five attacks in Amish communities in 2011. The government said the attacks were retaliation against Amish who had defied or denounced Mullet's authoritarian style
Amish believe the Bible instructs women to let their hair grow long and men to grow beards once they marry. Cutting it would be offensive to Amish.
Other defendants, some in tears, also offered to take the brunt of the blame and punishment on behalf of Mullet or spouses. Addressing the judge one-by-one, the defendants said there would be no more beard-cutting attacks.
Freeman Burkholder, 32, husband of a Mullet niece and father of eight children, apologized to the judge.
"I won't do it again," he said.
Anna Miller, 33, married to a Mullet nephew and mother of six, also apologized, turning to relatives of victims as she said, "I'm sorry, it won't happen again." Like most of the women, she was sentenced to one year.
A federal prosecutor, Bridget Brennan, urged the judge to punish Mullet adequately.
"He is a danger to this community," she said. "He is capable of controlling 15 defendants."
Brennan repeated key testimony against Mullet and said he has remained the leader of his eastern Ohio community despite being locked up since his arrest in late 2011.
The defendants were charged with a hate crime because prosecutors believe religious differences brought about the attacks.
Nine of 10 men who were convicted have been locked up awaiting sentencing. The six women, who all have children, have been free on bond.
In a rare interview last week in Bergholz at the sprawling Mullet farm amid rolling hills in eastern Ohio, Mullet's unmarried 19-year-old grandson, Edward Mast, discussed the family's attitude. He said they are steadfast in the belief that the attacks didn't rise to the level of a hate crime.
"The beard, what it stands for me, what I know about it, once you're married, you just grow a beard. That's just the way the Amish is," Mast said.
As for the victims, he added, "They got their beard back again, so what's the big deal about it?"
Arlene Miller, whose husband, an Amish bishop, was among the victims, thinks Mullet deserves a tough sentence and the others should get less time if they get cult deprogramming counseling.
"It's a cult," said Miller, 48, of Carrollton. "Their minds were programmed in the wrong way by Sam Mullet, so we feel like these people are very deceived and they are actually victims of Sam Mullet."
She said there were no winners in the ordeal.
"There's no happy ending to this," she said.
A bit much, I think. There are murders and pedophiles who get less time for their more damaging crimes. Stupid.

The arms are independently adjustable and can hold bikes of all shapes, sizes, and styles -- even sloping top tubes are no problem for this stylish storage device.

Absolutely Love It. Great investment!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I wasn't sure how the quality would be but it has a very stable base and strong sturdy supports. It looks great in our dining room (temporarily) and shows off my Cervelo S5 and Emonda SL 8 nicely. Couldn't be more pleased!
Great stand, do the 4 bike expansion!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This stand is awesome. It's a great storage solution if space is tight. Since there is no contact between bikes it keeps them from getting scratched. I upgraded the capacity from 2 bikes to 4 bikes using the expansion kit, we sell it on this site. Holds my heavier downhill bike, 2 trailbikes and a road bike with ease. Installation is fairly simple. If you plan to do the 4 bike expansion check out my review on that kit, item USS0020. I advise if you're going to do the 4 bike expansion do it from the beginning. It's easier installation this way rather than actually converting the rack from 2 bike capacity to 4 bike capacity. Once installed the rack has held up well. It's nice that the cradle position is fully adjustable.
Absolutely solid
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I was reluctant to buy something like this as it seemed like an unnecessary expense but I bought 2 of these and organized 4 bikes perfectly.
Easy to assemble, rock solid and I highly recommend.
Outstanding product
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have had my rack now for 2 years and use it to store a variety of bikes (road, tri, CX, fattie) and just love the rack.
Solid Bike Rack
This is a solid bike rack. I am able to store my offseason bikes safely out of the way. Easy to assemble. I am happy with the purchase.
Garage saver
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This storage column is strong and relatively lightweight. It's balanced so that bikes can be added and removed without ever becoming tippy. The expansion is great--not a compromise at all and brings total storage to four bikes. Best of all, the brackets can be raised or lowered individually to accommodate all sorts of frame geometries.
why did I wait so long to get one
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
this bike rack is so nice, it saves so much room from having my bikes laying on the ground, and wherever else i could store them. not only does it make your bikes look even better hanging from it, it keeps your bikes safe from falling over or falling onto the ground!
highly recommend getting one of these!
about how far out from the wall are the...
about how far out from the wall are the bikes in this stand?
This would greatly depend on the bikes you mount. Turning front wheels greatly diminishes the space you need. Still, I would say the rack needs about 2 feet from the base if you are placing bikes with wheels facing towards the wall. I'm sure you could get even closer if you mount bikes parallel to the wall--(maybe good for seasonal storage).
Space Saver
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have had it a month so far and this rack is great! I also bought the expansion kit ,so it now hold 4 bikes, 1 hard tail, 1 full suspension, Trials bike and dirt jumper. I got them all to fit with a little time and I like that it is a free standing rack that is not from ceiling to floor (when garage doors are open). It feels solid and i can move it anywhere, I'm sure it will be outside for a while this summer!! I could see me getting another for all our bikes.
Great use of space
Had four bikes taking up floor space. This product frees up more space and is easy to get around with bikes loaded...as well as very stable. For now it is holding bikes in shed...until I can sneak it past the wife into the living room.
Garage Envy
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have 2 of these. My garage is clean, my bikes are safe, out of the way, and on display. Love your bikes. The optional basket is a plus.
So good
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
We have a spare bedroom where we keep our exercise equipment and our bikes. Our bike (ok my bike) collection was growing and the room was getting crowded and the wife was unhappy. I combined this with the 2 bike extension and BAM, 4 bikes in the place of one. It also gives you a great place to put all of your stickers from all the races you do. My rack has two CX bikes, one 29er and one road bike and it is very sturdy. I am huge so my bikes are all XL's, or 61-63's and I can still fit them all on the rack. For normal sized people you won't have any issues. I highly recommend this rack and I hope I can talk my wife into a few more bikes so I can buy another one.
Feedback Sports Velo Cache 2 Bike Storage Column
It's a bike rack. It was easy to put together and seems well constructed and sturdy. The adjustable holders make it easy to personalize to your height and bikes. A great solution for storing multiple bikes in small spaces.

Skylines as is are -not- street legal.
Motorex has to do a ridiculously long and expensive conversion process to make them street legal.
and NOW you have to find one yourself, have it shipped to their front door and then pay them the money for the conversion. They wont do all the work for you anymore.
So, you're looking at about 120 grand just for the car and conversion. Shipping to their door and then to yours is probably a few g's more.
1) no one said they were...any car that is not from the usa is not street legal
(unless its built to USA specs at the foreign assembly plant, like how the 2004+ Pontiac GTO is made in Australia for the usa)
2)120G's for a skyline is absurd, but if you got the money go for it.
Depending on the car, I'm almost certain you can import some cars as is and drive them. I know one person here drives a RHD Civic Type R, and another guy had a RHD Mini Cooper. A lot of it depends on the insurance company and if theres an american counterpart to the car you import.
I think you can only put liability on those kinds of cars though.
If I had the 120+ g's for an r34 skyline, I'd probably pay it. Just love the car.

E-Mail Hoax
Welcome to the Homefront Reporter

E-Mail Hoax - Fake Pharmaceutical E-mail Is Prescription for Trouble
There's been a recent surge in fraudulent e-mails claiming to be from the United States National Medical Association (US NMA). There is no such organization and these messages are not from any United States government agency. (There is an association called the National Medical Association that promotes the collective interests of physicians and patients of African descent, and they have nothing to do with this spam.) The e-mails are part of a scheme to lure you to one of more than a dozen phishing sites, such as "MyCanadianPharmacy," under the false pretense of providing consumer information about buying pharmaceuticals online. If you click on the link contained in the e-mail, up comes a website offering name-brand prescription drugs such as Valium, Viagra, and Xanax at too-good-to-be-true prices.
According to reliable sources, including Forbes.com and the Better Business Bureau, this is one of the most notorious worldwide spam scams ever conducted. Crooks are blasting the e-mails around the globe by the billions, so if one hasn't hit your Inbox yet, it probably will soon. Here's what the e-mail looks like:
The United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (www.us-cert.gov) was established in 2003 to protect the nation's Internet infrastructure against cyber attacks. Their site contains a warning about the bogus US NMA e-mails, and encourages you to take the following steps to protect yourself from phishing attacks:

Ask The Help Desk - Do I Have To Use A Search Engine Every Time I Want To Go To A Website?
Question: I've recently seen three friends type in the web address of a website (for example, "www.microsoft.com") into the Google search field of their Web browser, then scroll through the resulting list of sites, and click on the link of the web address. The link takes them to the exact web address they just typed into the search field. Am I missing something here? Why don't these people save a step and simply type the web address into the address field of their browser and hit the "enter" key? There's no need to do a search for a site through a search engine like Google if you already know the web address of the site you'd like to visit, right?
Answer: You are correct. Typing a web address into a search field is a pretty common (but unnecessary) extra step made by even experienced Web surfers. While it makes sense to use a search engine when you're looking for a list of sites you'd like to visit, there's no need to start there when you already know a specific web address. Simply go to the address bar found on your browser, delete the current URL listed, type in the web address, and press the "enter" key.

Journal excerpts and maps from
Original Journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition,
edited by Reuben Gold Thwaites
Thursday, July 3, 1806
"All arrangements being now compleated for carrying into effect the several scheemes we had planed for execution on our return, we saddled our horses and set out. I took leave of my worthy friend and companion Capt. Clark and the party that accompanyed him. I could not avoid feeling much concern on this occasion although I hoped this seperation was only momentary. I proceeded down Clark�s river seven miles [11 kilometers] with my party of nine men and five Indians.... These people now informed me that the road which they shewed me at no great distance from our Camp would lead us up the East branch of Clark�s river and [to] a river they called Cokahlarishkit or the
river of the road to buffaloe
and thence to medicine river and the falls of the Missouri where we wished to go.... I directed the hunters to turn out early in the morning and indeavour to kill some more meat for these people whom I was unwilling to leave without giving them a good supply of provision after their having been so obliging as to conduct us through those tremendious mountains."
Sunday, July 20, 1806
*Letter from Clark to Hugh Henney
"The ardent wish of our government has ever been to conciliate the esteem and secure the friendship of all the Savage nations within their territory by the exercise of every consistent and pacific measure in her power, applying those of coercion only in the last resort; certain we are that her disposition towards the native inhabitants of her newly acquired Territory of Louisiana is not less friendly; but we are also positive that she will not long suffer her citizens to be deprived of the free navigation of the Missouri by a fiew comparitively feeble bands of Savages who may be so illy advised as to refuse her proffered friendship and continue their depridation on her citizens who may in future assend or decend that river.
"We believe that the sureest guarantee of savage fidility to any nation is a thorough conviction on their minds that their government possesses the power of punishing promptly every act of aggression committed on their part against the person or property of their citizens; to produce this conviction without the use of violence, is the wish of our government; and to effect it, we cannot devise a more expedient method than that of takeing some of the best informed and most influential Chiefs with us to the U. States, where they will have an ample view of our population and resourses, become convinced themselves, and on their return convince their nations of the futility of an attempt to oppose the Will of our government, particularly when they shall find, that their acquiescence will be productive of greater advantages to their nation than their most sanguine hopes could lead them to expect from oppersition.
"We have before mentioned to you the intention of our government to form tradeing establishments on the Missouri with a view to secure the attatchments of the nativs and emeliorate their sufferings by furnishing them with such articles as are necessary for their comfort on the most moderate terms in exchange for their peltries and furs. forming those establishments will most probably be delayed untill our return for the want of sufficient information relitive to the state of the country....
"In your communication with the
, in addition to other considerations which may suggest themselves to your mind, you will be pleased to assure them of the friendly views of our government towards them, their power and resources, their intention of establishing trading houses in their neighbourhood and the objects of those establishments. inform them that the mouth of all the rivers through [which] traders convey Merchindize to their country are now in the possession of the United States, who can at pleasure cut off all communication between themselves and their accustomed traders, and consequently the interest they have in cultivateing our friendship."
Saturday, July 26, 1806
"I discovered to my left at the distance of a mile [1.6 kilometers] an assembleage of about 30 horses, I halted and used my spye glass by the help of which I discovered several indians on the top of an eminence.... this was a very unpleasant sight, however I resolved to make the best of our situation and to approach them in a friendly manner.... with the assistance of Drewyer [Fields] I had much conversation with these people in the course of the evening.... I told these people that I had come a great way from the East up the large river which runs toward the rising sun, that I had been to the great waters where the sun sets and had seen a great many nations all of whom I had invited to come and trade with me on the rivers on this side of the mountains, that I had found most of them at war with their neighbours and had succeeded in restoring peace among them, that I was now on my way home and had left my party at the falls of the missouri with orders to decend that river to the entrance of Maria�s river and there wait my arrival and that I had come in surch of them in order to prevail on them to be at peace with their neighbours... and to engage them to come and trade with me when the establishment is made at the entrance of this river.... I took the first watch tonight... I directed Fields to watch the movements of the indians and if any of them left the camp to awake us all as I apprehended they would attampt to s[t]eal our horses."

No stars . . .Terrible shampoo!
Posted by Reviewer2321498 on Nov 20, 2011 | Verified Purchase
I gave this one star because the computer would not accept no stars. My hair was so tangled up after using this shampoo! I had to practically tear the knots out and lost a good amount of my hair in doing it. I have no idea what this company thinks they are doing selling such a hair knotting solution.
Tangled Hair

I took a risk in purchasing this product as I read the "tangled hair" review, and I had the same experience! First time I used it tangled my fine hair so badly that even the conditioner couldn't help unknot it all. I haven't used it since. Such a shame. The conditioner is good though.

Posted by Penelope11 on Jun 01, 2014 | Verified Purchase
It does clean my hair nicely and gives it volume, but it is not suited for dry hair so a good conditioner or mask is defnitely required afterwards.

envision design, washington, d.c.
It's one to thing to overhaul a poorly designed home by an unknown architect, but things get trickier when the house is a classic mid-century Modern by Charles Goodman and sustainability is integral to the program. Architect Kendall Wilson accomplished both demanding tasks for this project while preserving the spirit of the original building. "You could do anything here, but you shouldn't," the judges said, admiring Wilson's restraint.
"We wanted to respect the house, but we also wanted to improve it," says Wilson, who integrates green design in all his projects. The house is 1,000 square feet larger but notably more energy efficient than the original. Wilson upgraded the roof and wall insulation with formaldehyde-free fiberglass, replaced the energy-hogging windows with insulated units, and installed an efficient mechanical system. He also used earth-friendly products such as bio-based materials, reclaimed brick, and zero-VOC paint. The judges called it a "beautiful extension of an existing house."

LONDON — Industry advocate Kevin Williams has been invited to deliver presentations at several imminent entertainment and trade conferences in Europe. Williams, who is managing director of the consultancy group KWP Ltd. and editor of "The Stinger Report," was also commissioned by two prestigious journals to write a series of articles about out-of-home entertainment and the arcade industry. In his publishing and speaking engagements, the industry activist champions the vital role that traditional amusements will play in the future of public-space entertainment.
The Edinburgh Interactive Festival, now in its sixth year, leads off Williams' upcoming speaking engagements. He is the first member of the coin-op amusement industry invited to speak at the festival, where he will talk about video amusements and attractions, and the industry's influence on UK gaming culture.
Widely regarded as one of the most significant creative conferences for games and interactive entertainment, EIF 2008 takes place from August 10 to 12 at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre. The three-day festival will also feature networking events, an expanded "games screenings" program and a public exhibit. Williams' presentation, titled "Arcade Amusements Get Wired," is scheduled for Monday, August 11.
Marking its 20th year as the essential UK exhibition for the family and leisure attractions, fitness, health and sports, LIW will be staged from September 23 to 25 and is expected to draw record crowds. Last year's event attracted more than 14,100 visitors and 450 exhibitors. This year also marks Williams' fourth time as an LIW presenter
At Interschau-Technofolies 2008 in Stuttgart, Germany, Williams will moderate a panel discussion titled "Operators and Investors Debate," which is part of a new two-day conference program called "The Big Debate." For his part, Williams will referee what is expected to be an informative and lively dialogue that will attempt to identify solutions for problems affecting all sectors of the amusement industry.
The conference will be held on October 28 and 29 at the new Stuttgart Trade Fair Centre, which is conveniently located next to Stuttgart Airport and reportedly one of the most modern trade fair centers in Europe. Williams will conduct the debate on the second day. The exhibition portion of Interschau-Technofolies runs from October 29 to 31.
Interschau-Technofolies was created last year by merging the two leading trade fairs for leisure parks, amusements and showmen: "Interschau" in Germany and "Technofolies" in Italy. It is backed by the European Showmen's Union, the Amusement Industry Council of Europe (AiCE), the Federal Association of German Showmen (DSB) and the Italian association Anesv-Agis. The first combined event in Genoa, Italy, in October 2007 was hailed an international success, attracting more than 30% of its visitors from outside Italy. This fall, organizers expect 150 exhibitors and 10,000 visitors to participate.
Complementing his speaking appearances, Williams has made prominent feature story contributions to some well-known publications. He also wrote the forward for a new book on Japanese amusement gaming culture.
In Play Magazine, Williams' "Living Death" report offers in-depth commentary on the death and rebirth of the international arcade scene. The article illustrates new developments shaping resurgent interest in the amusement industry. Play Magazine focuses on all entertainment genres and age demographics, with an emphasis on videogames and anime.
Casual Connect, the publication of the Casual Games Association, is also publishing a feature by Williams. "Pay-for-Play Is Where the Action Is" expounds on new opportunities in the out-of-home casual gaming field. The article is the magazine's first from a member of the amusements and attractions sector, and explains the similarities between casual gaming and traditional amusements. The publication is said to be a central educational tool for developers and investors in the burgeoning casual gaming market.
In the new book Arcade Mania: The Turbo-charged World of Japan's Game Centers (Kodansha International, Tokyo, 192 pages), Williams wrote the forward in which he reviews the paperback's material and places it into context within the modern amusement scene.
"This was an immense honor," Williams said. "This book makes the most profound observation of the trends and factors that shape the Asian amusement scene, looking at the cultural dimension and the aspects of specific game trends that have seen Japanese arcades survive much of current international market turbulence."
Coauthored by Brian Ashcraft and Jean Snow, Arcade Mania is the first major book published on the Japanese amusement industry, covering topics ranging from Bemani (Konami's music videogame division) and cranes to the peculiar games found only in Japan. It introduces readers to the fascinating world of the Japanese gemu senta (game center). Organized as a guided tour of a typical game center, and packed with photos, game graphics and interviews, the book is divided into nine chapters, each of which deals with a different kind of game.
Arcade Mania goes on sale in Japan in August. The worldwide English version will be released in December.
Separately, KWP's "The Stinger Report" online newsletter is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year. Since its founding, the "Stinger" has widened its coverage to include such new concepts as "VenderTainment" and "EduTainment," along with topics on casual gaming and hospitality. According to Williams, these new areas have a profound connection to traditional amusements and attractions.

Cleveland Clinic jobs relocating to Beachwood
(Cleveland) - Hundreds of Cleveland Clinic jobs are moving to the Beachwood and a city lawmaker is not happy about it.
Cleveland Councilman Jeff Johnson wants his fellow legislators and Mayor Frank Jackson to question Clinic executives about plans to relocate 700 employees from the almost 100 year old Parker-Hannifin Building at East 173rd and Euclid Avenue, to the much newer former Bank of America Building in Beachwood.
Workers making the move are involved in I.T., medical records processing and other fields, and have high salaries. Johnson says the relocation will cost the City of Cleveland over $1 million in payroll tax revenues.
Johnson tells Newsradio WTAM 1100 that the move will also have a negative economic impact on the struggling Euclid Park neighborhood.
A Clinic spokesperson says the Parker-Hannifin structure is too old with high maintenance and upkeep and may be demolished if it can't be sold, and the former Bank of America Building was given to the Clinic as a gift.
Employees are expected to settle into their new home late in 2014.

Students may complete a major or minor in Sociology.
David Karen, Professor
Mary J. Osirim, Professor and Chair
Judith Porter, Katharine E. McBride Professor
Ayumi Takenaka, Assistant Professor
Robert E. Washington, Professor
Nathan Wright, Assistant Professor (on leave semester I and II)
The major in Sociology provides a general understanding of the structure and functioning of modern society, its major institutions, groups, and values, and the interrelations of these with personality and culture. Students examine contemporary social issues and social problems, and the sources of stability, conflict, and change in both modern and developing societies. The department offers rigorous preparation in social theory and problem-driven training in quantitative and qualitative methodologies.
Major Requirements
Requirements for the major are SOCL 102, 265, 302, 303, Senior Seminar (398), five additional courses in sociology (one of which must be at the 100 level and at least one of which must be at the 300 level), and two courses in sociology or an allied subject. After completing SOCL 398, the student and faculty member may decide that the student can enroll in an optional thesis-writing course. Allied courses are chosen from a list provided by the department. Further information is available at http://www.brynmawr.edu/sociology/major.shtml.
The Department of Sociology offers concentrations in gender and society, Asian American studies and African American studies. In pursuing these concentrations, majors should inquire about the possibility of coursework at Haverford and Swarthmore Colleges and the University of Pennsylvania.
Concentrations Within the Sociology Major
Gender and Society
Three courses are required for this concentration—at least two of these courses must be in sociology. The remaining course can be in sociology or an allied social science field. Students who pursue this concentration are required to take at least one of the core courses in this area offered by the department: The Study of Gender in Society (SOCL 201) or Women in Contemporary Society: The Southern Hemisphere (SOCL 225). The department encourages students in this concentration to take courses that focus on the study of gender in both northern and southern societies. In addition to taking courses in this field at Bryn Mawr, students may also take courses towards this concentration in their study abroad programs or at Haverford, Swarthmore, and the University of Pennsylvania. Any course taken outside of the Bryn Mawr Department of Sociology must be approved by the department for concentration credit. Majors are urged to consult Mary Osirim about this concentration.
Asian American Studies
Students pursuing this concentration are required to take Asian American Communities (SOCL 249), in addition to two other courses. One of them must be either Challenges and Dilemmas of Diversity (SOCL 215) or Immigrant Experiences (SOCL 246). The other course can be in anthropology, East Asian studies, or any other relevant field, and must be approved by the department for concentration credit. Please contact Ayumi Takenaka for further information.
African American Studies
Three courses are required for this concentration—at least two of these courses must be in sociology. The remaining course can be in either sociology or an allied field. Students who pursue this concentration are required to take the core course offered by the Bryn Mawr Department of Sociology: Black America In Sociological Perspective (SOCL 229). Students are encouraged to take courses on Black America listed under the Bryn Mawr and Haverford Africana Programs. Courses taken outside the Bryn Mawr Department of Sociology must be approved by the department for concentration credit. Majors interested in this concentration should consult Robert Washington for further information.
Honors in sociology are available to those students who have a grade point average in the major of 3.5 or higher and who write a senior thesis that is judged outstanding by the department. The thesis would be written under the direction of a Sociology faculty member and would be based on the research design that the student produced in SOCL 398.
Minor Requirements
Requirements for the minor are SOCL 102, 265, 302, and three additional courses within the department.
Students may choose electives from courses offered at Haverford College. Bryn Mawr majors should consult their department about major credit for courses taken at other institutions.

SOCL B350 Movements for Social Justice
Throughout human history, powerless groups of people have organized social movements to improve their lives and their societies. Powerful groups and institutions have resisted these efforts in order to maintain their own privilege. Some periods of history have been more likely than others to spawn protest movements. In American history, we think of the 1930s and1960s in this way. Will there soon be another period of significant protest? What factors seem most likely to lead to social movements? What determines their success/failure? We will examine 20th-century social movements in the United States to answer these questions. Includes a film series.

Entries could touch on a variety of themes. For example, your entry could be a photograph illustrating wasted food, construction waste, landfills, and recycling. Or perhaps you have an idea for a cartoon showing how we can better reduce, re-use or recycle waste. If you are a filmmaker, you could make a video about how waste policy could be improved, or the resources and energy needed to maintain wasteful lifestyles. However, these are just a few ideas, entrants are encouraged to come up with their own angle.
There is a wealth of useful information on waste on the EEA website. For example:
Photos, cartoons and videos should be accompanied by a short text. The deadline for submissions is 30 September 2013 at 12:00 Central European Time. See the conditions of entry for more details.]]>
These programmes show considerable differences in detail, coverage, objectives and time horizon. Most waste prevention programmes mention the aim of 'decoupling' waste generation from economic growth, but quantitative targets and corresponding monitoring schemes are often lacking. The majority (60%) are concerned with information and awareness-raising, while regulatory or economic policy instruments are mentioned less frequently (17%).
Waste prevention is the top aim of European policy's 'waste hierarchy' which lists waste management objectives in order of descending priority. If waste cannot be prevented, it should be reused or prepared for reuse, recycled, incinerated with energy recovery, or disposed of in landfill, if no other option is available. Europe aims to move up this hierarchy. By 2020 waste generation should be in absolute decline, according to the EU's Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe.
The current findings suggest that the variety of national initiatives leaves substantial room for improvement. Additional efforts would be most beneficial with regard to target setting, monitoring and the funding of upstream prevention measures.]]>
Municipal waste management in European countries has evolved over the last two decades from a focus on disposal methods to a greater focus on prevention and recycling. Moving municipal waste management up the 'waste hierarchy' (i.e. waste prevention, preparing for reuse, recycling, recovery and disposal) is a key way of extracting more value from resources while reducing the pressures on the environment and creating jobs. However, while progress has been made, 'resource use is still largely unsustainable and inefficient, and waste is not yet properly managed'.[1] The SOER 2015 briefing on waste provides an overview of the status, trends and prospects on waste generation and management at a European level.
This SOER 2015 cross-country comparison focuses on municipal solid waste (referred to as municipal waste). Although municipal waste only represents around 10% of total waste, it is very visible and has a diverse composition linked to consumption patterns. Countries that have developed efficient municipal-waste management systems generally perform better in overall waste management.[2]
About the indicators
Limitations of available data and indicators introduce an element of uncertainty when comparing across countries and over time. There are differences in definitions of municipal waste, the waste types included in reported data, and even differing methodologies for data processing. For example, some countries only include waste from households whereas others include similar wastes from commercial activities and offices. Therefore a country that includes more waste types (e.g. garden, packaging and bulky wastes) in municipal waste will appear to generate more municipal waste per capita than one that excludes these.
Countries have also changed their definition of municipal waste over time, and some reported the amount collected rather than generated. Countries can also choose between four different methods to monitor recycling rates.[3] Recycling rates can also be calculated differently depending on whether the weight of materials collected but discarded during the recycling process is included or not.
However, the indicators used in this assessment (municipal waste generated per capita, municipal waste recycled, and municipal waste sent to landfill) are currently the best available, and the calculation of recycling rates follows the most demanding method, which is used consistently in this assessment (see EEA Report No 2/2013 for further details).
Multiple waste policies and targets set at European level include minimum requirements for managing certain waste types. The most relevant targets for municipal waste are the Landfill Directive's landfill-diversion targets for biodegradable municipal waste; the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive's recycling targets; and the Waste Framework Directive's recycling target for household and similar wastes.[4] Total municipal waste generation in the EEA countries declined by 1% in absolute terms and by 4% per capita from 2004 to 2012. However, there has been no uniform trend across countries, with an increase in municipal waste generation per capita in 15 — and a decrease in 20 — out of 36 countries for which data are available (Figure 1).
In 2012, municipal waste generation per capita was highest in Switzerland (694 kg/capita), Denmark (668 kg/capita) and Cyprus (663 kg/capita), and lowest in Romania (271 kg/capita) and Albania (262 kg/capita). This reflects differences in data, economic wealth between countries (wealthier countries usually generate more municipal waste per capita), and the recent economic downturn.
The Waste Framework Directive[5] sets a target for 50% of municipal waste (more precisely the target applies to specific types of household and similar wastes) to be recycled by 2020 in individual countries (except Turkey and Switzerland). One of the success stories of environmental policy in Europe so far is the increase in the rates of municipal waste recycling (covering material recycling, composting and digestion of bio-wastes). Countries achieved an average recycling rate of 29% in 2012, compared to 22% in 2004. Although this reflected only very modest improvements in recycling of bio-waste.
There were large differences in performance amongst those countries with the highest and lowest recycling rates (Figure 2). Germany, Austria, Belgium and Switzerland recycled more than half of their municipal waste in 2012. The highest increase in recycling rates between 2004 and 2012 occurred in Iceland, the United Kingdom, Italy, Slovenia, Lithuania, Cyprus and the Czech Republic (18–25 percentage points). Overall, in 14 out of 35 countries, the increase in recycling rates exceeded 10 percentage points over this period. However, in six countries the share of recycled municipal waste barely changed (Austria, Finland, Serbia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro and Switzerland). Recycling rates decreased in three countries, Malta, Turkey and Spain.
There is a clear link between increasing recycling rates and declining rates of landfilling. In countries with high municipal waste-recycling rates, landfilling declines much faster than the growth in recycling, as waste management strategies usually move from landfill towards a combination of recycling and incineration, and in some cases also Mechanical-Biological Treatment (MBT).[4]
The rate of municipal waste landfilling for the EU-27 went down from 47% in 2004 to 33% in 2012. The performance of individual countries varied. In Austria, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden and Germany, virtually no municipal waste is sent to landfill. Whereas Lithuania, Cyprus, Romania, Greece, Malta, Croatia, Turkey and Latvia landfill more than three quarters of their municipal waste.
Overall, the rates of landfilling have decreased in 27 out of 31 countries for which data are available. Between 2004 and 2012, the largest decreases occurred in Poland (35 percentage points), the United Kingdom (33 percentage points), and Estonia (28 percentage points). The EEA has also published factsheets on municipal waste management in 34 EEA member and cooperating countries.
The majority of countries are making progress on diverting waste from landfill, thus moving municipal waste management up the waste hierarchy. The outlook for reaching the 50% recycling target for municipal waste by 2020 is mixed. This level of recycling has already been achieved by four countries, with another nine countries on track if they maintain the same rate of progress as recorded between 2001 and 2012.
However, the majority of the countries will have to step up their efforts in order to reach the target. Nine countries will have to increase recycling rates by 2–4 percentage points annually, while six countries need to achieve an unprecedented increase of more than 4 percentage points annually.[4]
Almost without exception, the better-performing countries in terms of recycling have a wider range of measures and instruments in place than poorer-performing countries. Measures include landfill bans on biodegradable waste or non-pre-treated municipal waste; mandatory separate collection of municipal waste types, especially biowastes; and economic instruments such as landfill and incineration taxes and waste collection fees that strongly encourage recycling. Although the key drivers behind better municipal waste management are clearly EU and national policies and targets, regional and local policies within countries also play a significant role in the process.[4][6]
The Waste Framework Directive required countries to establish national waste prevention programmes by December 2013. The effects of the programmes are yet to be seen in most countries, and it is premature to link declines in waste generation with their implementation and effectiveness. A clearer picture will emerge as the annual EEA review of national waste-prevention programmes progresses.[7] Turning waste into a resource will require full implementation of waste legislation and additional efforts to reduce waste generation in absolute terms, removal of barriers to recycling, and limiting landfill to residual (i.e. non-recyclable and non-recoverable) waste.[1]
Improvements in waste data and harmonisation of national reporting methodologies are required, as uncertainties relating to the comparability of national data is a barrier to assessment of progress and the effectiveness of policy measures. The legislative proposal to change the Waste Framework Directive, which also includes a review of targets for municipal and packaging waste,[2] will assist in this regard.]]>
Europe can secure many social and economic benefits from treating waste as a resource. In addition to reducing environmental pressures, better waste management can secure vital resources, create jobs and boost competitiveness. Waste prevention and management have a central role in enhancing resource efficiency and creating a circular economy that enables society to maximise the economic returns on scarce resources.
The European Union (EU) has introduced multiple waste policies and targets since the 1990s. As in other environmental areas,[1] the focus of waste policy has broadened over this period. Examples of policy instruments include:
The overarching logic guiding EU policy on waste is the waste hierarchy, which prioritises waste prevention, followed by reuse, recycling, other recovery, and finally disposal or landfilling as the least desirable option.
In broad terms, Europe has shifted waste management up the waste hierarchy in recent years. Although differences in national waste definitions and data processing methodologies introduce some uncertainties into an analysis of European trends, there is evidence that less waste is being landfilled as a result of reduced generation of some wastes, and increased recycling and energy recovery.
Economic production and consumption in Europe is becoming less waste intensive, even after the economic downturn since 2008 is factored into the analysis. For example, as illustrated in Figure 1, waste generation from manufacturing in the EU-28 and Norway declined by 25% in absolute terms between 2004 and 2012, despite an increase of 7% in sectoral economic output. Waste generation from the service sector declined by 23% in the same period, despite an increase of 13% in sectoral economic output.
Turning to consumption, total municipal waste generation in EEA countries declined by 2% between 2004 and 2012, despite a 7% increase in real household expenditure. Per capita generation of municipal waste declined by 5% in the same period, falling from 503 to 478 kg/capita.
Europe achieved substantial progress in diverting waste from landfill in recent years — both in absolute terms and as a proportion of total waste generated. Between 2004 and 2010, the EU-28, Iceland and Norway reduced the amount of total waste (excluding mineral, combustion, animal and vegetable wastes) deposited in landfills by 23%; from 205 billion tonnes to 157 billion tonnes.
The decrease in landfilling is partly due to increased recycling and incineration of waste. Recycling rates tend to have improved fastest in waste streams with EU-wide targets.[16][17] In 2011, EEA countries (excluding Iceland, Croatia and Turkey) recycled 63% of their packaging waste, up from 57% in 2006. For municipal waste, EEA countries achieved a recycling rate of 37% in 2012, compared to 28% in 2004. These improvements reflected an increase in the recycling of materials, with only very modest improvements in the recycling of biowaste.[17]
Driven by EU trade legislation and recycling targets — along with escalating resource demand in fast growing Asian economies — exports of waste from EU Member States have grown significantly. Exports of waste iron, steel, copper, aluminium and nickel doubled between 1999 and 2011. Waste precious metal exports increased by a factor of three and waste plastics by a factor of five. Exports of hazardous waste more than doubled in the period 2000–2009, although these overwhelmingly stayed in the EU.[18]
Transboundary movements of waste can enable access to recycling or disposal options that are unavailable or more costly in the source country — meaning lower financial costs for waste management and potentially also lower environmental costs. Trade can also facilitate using waste as an input to production. However, moving waste across borders can involve costs and risks, such as illegal movements of hazardous electronic waste (e-waste). Since informal sector workers in developing countries lack the equipment and skills to handle e-waste safely, the result is significant environmental pollution and health risks for local people, as well as the loss of valuable materials.[18]
Improved waste management reduces pressures associated with both waste disposal (e.g. pollution from incineration or landfilling) and with extracting and processing new resources. The EEA estimates that improved municipal waste management in the EU-27, Switzerland and Norway cut annual net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 57 million tonnes CO2-equivalent in the period 1990–2012, with most of that reduction occurring since 2000. The two main factors responsible were reduced methane emissions from landfill and avoided emissions through recycling.[19]
The EU estimates that full implementation of existing EU waste legislation could save EUR 72 billion a year by 2020, while creating over 400 000 jobs and increasing annual EU waste management and recycling sector turnover by EUR 42 billion.[20] Better recycling infrastructures, collection and recycling rates could also alleviate European reliance on resource imports, boosting security of supply of some of the critical resources used in new technologies.[21] Securing these potential gains will require Member States to achieve the full spectrum of EU waste targets.
Analysis by the EEA[17][22] suggests that progress towards waste targets is mixed. Many Member States seem likely to achieve the target of recycling 50% of some fractions of household and similar wastes by 2020 (although Decision 2011/753/EC enables countries to choose between four different methods for calculating recycling rates, producing different results). But achieving other targets, such as the EU's 'near zero landfill' target in 2020, will depend on a significant change in approaches to current waste management practices.
Policy tools such as taxes or bans on specific wastes or management approaches, pay-as-you-throw schemes and extended producer responsibility could all enable a shift up the waste hierarchy.[17] The large differences in waste management and progress to targets across Europe underline the importance of national and local instruments such as landfill taxes and bans, mandatory separate collection and waste collection fees that encourage recycling.
Measures that deter landfilling can produce adverse effects if they result in illegal dumping of waste or the development of undesirable alternatives, such as excessive incineration capacity or low-quality mechanical biological treatment for mixed waste types. Tools such as landfill taxes therefore need to be complemented with additional measures, for example enhanced supervisory systems and incentives for preferred waste management approaches.
Moving beyond existing policy targets, the Roadmap to a resource-efficient Europe[23] and the 7th Environment Action Programme[20] also signal a new level of ambition in applying the logic of the waste hierarchy, including additional goals on waste prevention and using waste as a resource. As a first step towards these goals, the European Commission is reviewing the EU's targets on municipal and packaging waste.[24]
Achieving the EU's medium- and long-term objectives will require more far-reaching changes, extending beyond the waste sector and engaging all actors in establishing a circular economy. Minimising waste or making it less harmful depends on actions across the full product lifecycle. Factors such as design and choice of material inputs play a major role in determining a product's useful lifespan, the amount of resources and energy used in production, and the possibilities for repairing it, reusing parts or recycling.
Technological and social innovations can also offer new ways to meet society's demand for products and services. Examples include resource-efficient production processes, re-manufacturing, industrial symbiosis, product-service systems, collaborative consumption and take-back schemes. EU and national policy should create the incentives and enabling frameworks to support new business models that can realise these innovations. This could include helping establish new markets for recycled materials.
These measures can contribute to achieving the potential economic and environmental benefits of sustainable waste management. For Europe to fully understand its progress towards these benefits, improvements in information on waste flows is required. The waste data currently collected is insufficient to support thorough analysis of waste prevention and recycling across the continent.]]>

I've been a bit annoyed by the "deceased" annotations behind the names of family-members in the characters' infoboxes. I feel this information is unnecessary and cluttering and would best be removed. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 08:07, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
- this is simple it would be more confusing if it was not there, yes if people wanted more detail they could look up the character but it makes the list clearer as it is, and as for the size not many characters have a huge list of family so it should be left as is Fawcettp (talk) 09:43, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, I never had a problem with them, though I dont have a problem with them being removed either. /shrug as long as it is clear that somehwere in the infobox that this character died at some point in the series. Like add (Chap whatever/Ep whatever) somewhere.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 10:59, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
- I've always hated those tags, even more than the fact that those lists are manual lists. Not only to arguments on a character's status pollute the history of the article, they pollute the history of the articles for each of the character's family members. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Sep 2, 2009 @ 17:22 (UTC)
- So they can be removed? Just the annotations on the family members of the status annotation of the character itself as well? --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 22:45, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
- Just the ones in the family section. We'll probably have another row for death in the new character infobox. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Sep 2, 2009 @ 22:50 (UTC)
- There you go. But seriously, this morning when ShounenSuki brought this up I spent all of five minutes trying to come up with some big argument. Then I thought..."I'm old (not really) and hungry damnit I don't got time for this." Heh heh.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 01:07, September 3, 2009 (UTC)
