August 22nd: 52,446 Roommates Available
I just wanted to thank you for helping me find a roommate as soon as possible. I signed up on Sunday night and found a roommate by Thursday. I was really stressed and had no luck anywhere else, except here. I had so many responses and your service was so easy to use. I have told everyone I know about it. I even helped one of my friends find a roommate through this. Thank you so much! - Danielle
Just wanted to say thanks! I met husband using your service. Roomates.com did a great job of introducing me to many people with whom I had things in common. The last thing I expected was to find the man of my dreams. We met at the beginning of September and fell in love almost instantly. Our wedding is planned in March. This was not our goal, we were but just looking for a roomate and to save a few dollars. But we are eternally grateful and thank you so much for the connection!!!- Gail

Classification of Triangles
Lesson 5 of 7
Objective: SWBAT classify triangles by their properties.
Big Idea: Students will use a Powerpoint Presentation and pictures of real-world triangles to classify triangles by properties.
Goal & Introduction
To being today, I introduced today's goal: I can classify triangles by their properties. We then discussed the meaning of properties using the following Properties Poster.
Next, we reviewed the meaning of a right triangle, obtuse triangle, and acute triangle. We then sang our Triangle Song to review how to classify triangles based on the number of congruent sides.
Powerpoint Presentation
To review how to classify triangles, I created a Google Powerpoint, Triangle Types Presentation, and shared it with students. Next, students opened the presentation in Google Documents and copied the presentation to make the presentation their own.
On the first slide, we discussed how all triangles are 3-sided figures. Then, we moved on to the next slide, Right Isosceles Triangle, and I asked: Based on your investigation yesterday, who who can tell me what you think the properties of a right isosceles triangle are? Students referred to the Triangle Chart from yesterday and said, "It has a right angle," and "It has two congruent sides." We then listed these properties in the text box on this slide and used the shape tools to construct a right isosceles triangle.
We continued in the same fashion with the following slides: discussing and listing the properties of each triangle as a class and then students created examples. After a few slides, I let students continue on their own. My students have their own laptops this year so they are pretty quick when it comes to completing a presentation like this. Here is an example of a student-teacher conference during this time: Student Constructing an Acute Isosceles Triangle.
Impossible Triangles
As students got to slides 10 and 11 (right equilateral triangle and obtuse equilateral triangle), students discovered that they were impossible! I loved letting them discover this on their own!
Student Example
Here's an example of a student's completed presentation: Student Example of Presentation.

Student Exploration
Real World Connection
To engage students in Math Practice 4: Model with mathematics, I printed pictures of triangles in every day life, Every Day Triangles. I wanted students to make the connection between math in the classroom and math in the real world.
After numbering each picture, 1-17, I placed the Pictures on the Back Table. This way, groups of students could choose a picture to explore one at a time. I have found, whenever I incorporate student choice into lessons, student engagement almost always increases!
Choosing Partners
Picking math partners is always easy as I already have students placed in desk groups based upon behavior, abilities, and communication skills.
Recording Sheet
To begin, I asked all students to number a lined sheet of paper, 1-17. We then titled our recording sheet, "Real World Triangles!" Here's an example of a student's completed recording sheet: Student Recording Sheet.
I explained: Today, I want you to classify triangles outside of our classroom! On the back table, you'll find pictures of a bike, a sidewalk, a sailboat, and other real world objects. It's important for you to know that triangles aren't just a part of math! One at a time, you and your partner can choose a real world triangle off the back table. Then, you'll use your tools, such as a protractor, square corner, or ruler to classify each triangle. Make sure you record Triangle #1 next to number one on your recording sheet.
Students couldn't wait to begin!
Monitoring Student Understanding
While students were working, I conferenced with every group. My goal was to support students by providing them with the opportunity to explain their thinking and by asking guiding questions. I also wanted to encourage students to construct viable arguments by using evidence to support their thinking (Math Practice 3).
- What type of triangle is this?
- How do you know?
- What properties helped you classify this triangle?
- What do you call two sides that are equal? (congruent)
- How many obtuse angles can an obtuse triangle have?
Here, Identifying Triangle 1, two students use their tools to estimate the angle and side measurements of this triangle. They found that all the angles and sides are roughly the same which means it is an acute equilateral triangle.
Here, Identifying Triangle 12, two students work together to determine that this triangle is an obtuse isosceles triangle.
Checking Student Work
As students finished their triangle exploration, we corrected the recording sheet altogether as a class.
Resources (5)
Student Practice
Practice Page
Transferring learning using other applications is a huge part of math! To formatively assess students on their ability to classify triangles, I passed out a practice page from Math-Aids.com.
During this time, I conferenced with as many students as possible. Here, Identifying Angles, a student benefits from turning the page in order to "see" each angle.
Completed Work
Most students were successful at completing this page. Here's an example of a student's completed work: Student Practice Page.

The road for Hannibal Buress—who has lived in New York for five years—follows that general direction. Until, of course, you get to that last part.
"Chicago is where I'm from," said the 30-year-old comic while enjoying a drink at Old Town Ale House during a trip home over the holidays. "It's where my family is. It's where my friends are, the venues are. My whole life … this is what I love."
And Chicago loves Buress right back. His show Saturday at the Vic Theatre, also being filmed as a one-hour special for Comedy Central, sold out in just two days. "Nonsense" is set to air March 29.
As for his life in New York, Buress performs Sundays at Brooklyn's Knitting Factory as part of a weekly comedy show that he hosts. Legends like Dave Chappelle and Louis C.K. have even dropped in unannounced to perform.
Buress is a featured regular on Comedy Central's "Broad City," which premiered Wednesday and finds him popping up as bad girl Ilana's (Ilana Glazer) on-again, off-again hookup. He'll get his own pilot on the network sometime in the future as part of a multi-platform deal he signed last year. And while you may not recognize him, he's co-starring as Crisco on FX's new animated series, "Chozen."
But as someone who constantly travels and seems to be popping up on stages and TV screens across the country, Buress admits both friends and fans forget how often he gets back to his hometown.
"I'm back here all the time," Buress said, laughing. "But people are always like, 'Man, Hannibal, when are you coming back, man?' I come back once a month, sometimes twice. I'm always back here."
firstname.lastname@example.com | @theseanwow
We asked Hannibal Buress 20 random questions to better get to know the comedian (video available at RedEyeChicago.com/Hannibal). Here are some of our favorites. S.E.
Favorite Chicago neighborhood?
"Logan Square, Wicker Park. I end up there a lot."
One word to describe living in NYC?
If Hannibal Buress weren't a comedian, he would be a …
Basketball coach.
Favorite restaurant in Chicago?
Diner Grill.
Have you taken a selfie this week?
"I take selfies but I don't post [them]. My girlfriend is out of the country, so we send pictures, but I don't post selfies. … There's something about the angle that I hate."
Do you think Miley Cyrus is a good kisser?
Yeah, I think so. I think she's a good kisser. She talks about being on Molly and [bleep], so she probably gets down.
Hannibal Buress looks a lot like that guy from …
"The National Rental Car commercial. … Or also any black dude with glasses."
If you were ordering Mayor Rahm Emanuel a drink at a bar, what would you order him?
"I would order him something that would knock him out and then I would take his phone and [bleeping] try to break the [parking] contracts."
Who is your favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?
"Michaelangelo. Pizza, nunchucks, goofy. Yeah, I related to him. ... Did anyone ever bone April? Or no? She was just kicking it. She friendzoned the whole crew."

Get the Recipe
While very good frozen peas are available all year long, they usually play the utility role, helping to perk up dishes with bright bursts of sweetness. As confident and well skilled as they may be, rare is when peas get to stand up in the limelight on their own (or, perhaps, on the Green Giant's shoulders?).
But leave it to Tony Mantuano, chef of Chicago's Spiaggia, to give the petite spring vegetable its due. This recipe from Wine Bar Food not only uses fresh peas, but also calls for pea shoots, pea sprouts, and sugar snap peas. All this makes for one bright green, crisp, and fresh salad. To help bulk things out, some croutons are quickly sautéed up, along with some fatty bacon. The salad is then finished off with few shavings of salty Pecorino.
Why I Picked This Recipe: I first came across this recipe during the middle of winter, when making this salad would have been impossible. Instead, I waited until fresh peas were available at the farmers' market. I can't think of a better way to celebrate the fresh vegetable.
What Worked: I love how this salad balances flavors and textures. The peas and snap peas are crunchy and sweet, while bacon is left a little chewy. The shoots are delicate and tender, while the croutons are crisp and oily. This all means that each bite tastes different, as you pick up different elements.
What Didn't: Just about every dish in Wine Bar Food is considered a small plate, so this probably needs another element if you're going to stretch it into a full meal. Honestly, I just ate two servings and was cool with it, but I can see other people wanting a salmon fillet or something like that.
Suggested Tweaks: The recipe also calls for pea sprouts, an ingredient that I couldn't seem to track down. In the recipe write-up, Mantuano notes that you can just use more pea shoots if you can't find the sprouts.

John Krasinski on The Office Finale's Steve Carell Cameo: 'We All Just Flat-Out Lied'
"I lied to Letterman! I have to apologize to him."
Remember all that will they/won't they about The Office's finale and Steve Carell's participation or lack thereof? (Of course you do, it was like twenty seconds ago.) John Krasinski remembers it, and he remembers it fondly. "It was so thrilling. We all just flat-out lied," the erstwhile Jim Halpert tells People. "I lied to Letterman! I have to apologize to him for that at some point. It was just one of those things that we all vowed and had to protect. Look what happened — it was the best. The 'that's what she said' was the perfect use of Steve." Very true — it was so lovely. Krasinski also mused and gushed about the series being over, saying, "Not only has it given me every opportunity in the business, but I wouldn't have met Emily [Blunt, his wife]. In a very big, existential way it's the most important thing in my life." Awww!

I don't get it. Your benchmark is completely bogus, you admit it in an update, but you only put that in a little remark at the bottom. So you're actually still pretending that everything is just fine.
You should fix the benchmark, for example by assigning the sort result to a lexical array in the subs, and rerun the benchmark, and strike through the flawed benchmark.
But no, you prefer to pretend everything is fine and dandy. You get a downvote from me. What a waste of time.
Update As per my request, friedo updated his node a little, pointing out the benchmark is flawed, there where it got inserted. At least, now people are prewarned. Me happy.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Scrub the potatoes well and dry with paper towels. Poke several holes in them with a skewer to allow steam to escape. Place the potatoes on a small baking sheet and bake, uncovered, until tender, about 1 hour.
Allow the potatoes to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate in a plastic bag with a resealable closure overnight.
Peel the potatoes and cut into 1/3-inch dice. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the onion to a small bowl. Add the vegetable oil to the skillet and heat until almost smoking. Add the potatoes and leave to form a crisp crust. Do not disturb the potatoes until the crust is formed, about 5 minutes. Check to see if a crust has formed; if so, give a quick stir. If not, continue cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the crust has formed. With a spatula, turn over large chunks of the crusted potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and continue cooking until golden brown. Stir in the onion, season again with salt and pepper, and stir until the hash is heated through, about 3 minutes.
Serve hot.

The names of Joseph Henry Apple and his family are inextricably linked with the founding of Hood College and early Hood history. The library, which opened its doors in 1941, was named in honor of Joseph Henry Apple, president of Hood College from 1893-1934. Members of the Apple family have always been and continue to be active in the life of the College.
Joseph Henry Apple was born in Rimersburg, Pennsylvania, in 1865, the youngest son of Elizabeth Geiger and Joseph Henry Apple, a teacher and minister. An 1885 graduate of Franklin and Marshall College, he was called to be the President of the Woman's College of Frederick (the College did not become Hood College until 1913) in May of 1893 from Pittsburgh Central High School where he was enjoying a successful teaching career. Encouraged by his first wife, Mary Rankin Apple, to heed the call, Dr. Apple was to stay in Frederick and serve as president of the College for the ensuing 41 years. Upon his retirement in 1934, he was the oldest living college president in continuous active service at a single institution in the United States.
Dr. Apple dedicated his life to the work of establishing the campus at its current location, constructing fourteen buildings and setting the high standards for academic excellence that continue to this day. A man of great vision and high purpose, he was noted for his persistence, dauntless determination and natural leadership ability. During his tenure, Hood grew from a small female seminary with an uncertain future to a campus of 125 acres, 14 buildings, 27 administrative staff, 57 faculty, and 500 students. He awarded diplomas to 1,591 students during his presidency.
Not only did Dr. Apple give his life to Hood College, but so did the members of his family. Miriam Rankin Apple, the daughter of Dr. Apple and his first wife, graduated from Hood in 1914. She served as librarian in the library that bears her father's name from 1914 to 1950, with the exception of a two-year leave of absence. Born in 1893, her life span coincided with the early life span of the College. She was noted in her grace, charm, and friendly disposition. The Miriam Apple Memorial Room in the library is dedicated to her memory and houses the archival treasures of the College.
A second daughter, Charlotte, died as a child. Mary Rankin Apple died in 1896.
In 1898 Dr. Apple married his second wife, Gertrude Harner Apple, who was employed by the College as an English instructor and is credited with establishing Hood's literary magazine, The Herald. Additionally, Mrs. Apple was responsible for supervising the planting of many of the original trees, shrubs, and flowers which contribute to the extraordinary beauty of Hood's campus.
Gertrude and Joseph Henry Apple had three children. Two of his daughters, Elizabeth Apple McCain '23 and Emily Apple Payne '24, live in Frederick and are active in the life of the College, including supporting the Friends of the Library. Their brother, Joseph Henry Apple, is deceased, but his wife lives in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia.
The dedication of the Apple family to the life and work of the College is unparalleled. We owe much to this family. Their courage, vision, leadership, dedication, and commitment have resulted in a lasting legacy.

No NFS@home Ars Technica team? I realize it isn't in the DC Vault (yet) but...if we had a team then all my projects would be under Ars
I whipped something up quick, feel free to join up!
Project homepage: http://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/
Team Ars on Free-DC: http://stats.free-dc.org/stats...am&proj=nfs&team=649
Credit as of now is half that of Docking@home, for comparison.
Edit: Added some more info about the project.
thanks & joined
There's talks of this project going to the Vault already... it's a very new project.
I have 3 computers on this now to test it out.
Also edited my first post on this to add more info about the project.
IMO it would be irresponsible to Vault a project where the highest scoring team only had 400k. The project needs time to mature.
(And time for us to get into the top 10 )
I don't disagree, at all
Look for me to join the party sometime this weekend. I will be hitting this as my LAST full-throttle project.
Welcome aboard... I've been slowly doing work here with a couple machines... very slow going thus far.
Couple versus ALL. We'll see what happens.
There will be a slight delay in me joining the fray. It seems I need to stomp GleanerC into the ground on SIMAP first.
We have put all of our AMD machines on this as they blow goats in Enigma compared to C2D/Q with the optimized app.
Once enigma is done, our fleet will move to NFS... and it will be ALL.
Run Away! Run Away! I see Leav's big foot coming up the street to stomp me now.
Agent GleanerC /squished
Looks like Whizbang is testing the servers
Also looks like they doubled the credit granted per WU, which is nice. Get it while it's hot!
Sorry I will not be able to join. No application for me to use. OSX not supported neither PPC or Intel.
There's some talks of OSX being supported... it's on the 'todo' list says the Project Admin. No ETA yet.
Just doing my part
Don't forget to join the team. You're not listed as a member yet.
We have only 4 members listed so for anyone else who forget, JOIN
And you're doing it very well... Ars is in 3rd place already, with 2nd to be taken either today or tomorrow.
Another day or two and I'll be done with all my SIMAP and I'll be back to this.
NotAlwaysPC was on the team, but now... not. What's weird is I don't see a member leaving...
I'm going to run this out to 1 mil and then see how we're looking.
Looks like check pointing is about every 1 min or so. Not bad, but not all that great, either. But then again, how much overhead is introduced by all of the "near real time" check pointing that some projects do.
EDIT: Changed 2 min to 1 min
Beyond - you might want to get out of the way. Fleet coming through.
Wow! This project is very nice scoring.
I might be convinced to stay on to 500k instead of 250k.
They recently doubled the credit, which makes it quite nice indeed
Whizbang took over 1st place overall in the project, along with that.. Ars is about to take 1st place in a couple days. If/when the project gets put in the vault, we should be in a great position.
Leav... are we racing to 250k? Do I need to throw more puters at it?
I'm winding down now, have to defend my honor in Collatz from outInder
I'll give you another push once I fend him off.
Not racing cuz I am at max. I'm scheduled to start my throttle down as soon I hit 250k in this project anyway. I might hang on until 500k due to the high scoring, though.
Hey, we're famous:
And a double congrats to Whizbang on taking the project lead!
That's cool.. nice to have a team mention on the front page of a project.
Woohoo, I'm in 5th place on the team. I think thats the highest I've ever made it on a project in the team stats.
Congrats Alton! That's a fun stat. I've done that once or twice myself. Fun stuff to keep track of.
Agent GleanerC /out
I'm back on full-force to 500k.
I see that, welcome back
I'm temporarily joining in on this. I'm not sure how long I'll stick around, but if my credit estimates are anywhere accurate, 100k shouldn't be too arduous.
My biggest concern is the amount of RAM each work unit needs. My weakest box only has 256MB and might not exactly work out here.
Aexoden, I have NFS running on a couple 64bit machines and the memory usage is over 300MB/instance.
Seems about right. There are also some other work units that can use up to 1GB (though the one I had used about 600). Anyway, it refused to give that poor 256MB computer any work, but my others are crunching away.
Lots of good projects for that 256MB machine: Leiden, Spinhenge, SZTAKI etc.
Just posted by the Admin at NFS:
I'll report that this is happening, even though I have it unselected in my preferences. Made a few of my machines unresponsive and stop crunching altogether. Had to cut back a bit, especially on machines with 2 gigs of RAM or less for me.

Try to purchase the freshest possible catnip for your cat and rub it between your fingers to release warmth, aroma and the essential oils that catnip-sensitive felines love.read more
"Feline non-recognition aggression" is a technical term that may be unfamiliar to you. But if you are a cat owner with more than one cat, chances are you have experienced the phenomenon. It usually begins something like this:
You have two or more cats that normally get along well. Whether or not the cats are related, things go smoothly in your household until you take one cat to the veterinarian's office for a minor procedure. Your cat is feeling OK, if not a little shaken up by the ordeal, and you take it home. That's when the problem starts.
Your other cat(s) look at the treated cat as if they have never seen it before. They might hiss and shun it, running away. As if your formerly sick cat didn't have enough problems, it now has this social anxiety to face. The other cats might even try to attack the treated cat.
Dr. Nicholas Dodman, founder of the Tufts Animal Behavior Clinic, calls this sort of behavior "feline non-recognition aggression." Dodman has heard many different explanations for it. Perhaps the cat from the vet is releasing stress hormones, or perhaps it just looks different. The cat could have taken on the scent of something from the clinic, such as anesthesia, iodine, alcohol or even vitamin B, which he says seems to pervade most pet hospitals.
Dodman is not certain what single trigger is responsible for feline non-recognition aggression. It's possible that many different causes exist and are unique to each cat. The main thing to remember is that if you have a multi-cat household and one cat needs to go to the vet, be sure to supervise kitty reunions upon your return home. It's been my experience that any surprise shunning by other cats diminishes within a few hours. During that time, however, it is important to allow the recovering cat to rest in peace before dealing with reintroductions.
Cacink says: Looks like you might need two! And by the way Charlie was playing/biting the tag, it might be a good idea to stinrg some sort of toy there like a ball or something. :)
Dayat says: I have one who might have it too. I am waiting for a final test to be sure. In the iitnrem, I am also reading as much as I can find about it. Below is a list of web sites that I have found helpful.(Also, thanks to Reverend Black Grape for suggesting felineaids.org. It looks like a very good web site for information too.)I hope this helps you. Good luck to you and your cat.
Cats reach full skeletal development when they are this old:

SANTA CRUZ >> A 63-year-old Bonny Doon man was sentenced to 200 days in Santa Cruz County Jail for his role in the death of a Santa Cruz bicyclist in November.
While the hearing drew a crowd, it was the judge's emotion that captured the heart of the sad story that left a popular UCSC librarian dead and a retired technology executive devastated.
"What we end up with is a saint killing an angel," Santa Cruz Superior Court Judge Stephen Siegel said. "I have no idea what to do about this other than to let it seep into my heart."
Navindra Kumar Jain was quiet and reserved throughout Friday's sentencing hearing. He quietly nodded his head after Santa Cruz Superior Court Judge Stephen Siegel handed down the sentence.
Jain was charged with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter after he fell asleep at the wheel of the Tesla he was driving on Highway 1 near Davenport. His shiny new, black Tesla drifted across the road and collided with Joshua Alper, 40, who was on a weekend bike ride from Santa Cruz up the North Coast.
Jain expressed remorse during the hearing and asked the family for forgiveness.
"It's not something I can put behind me," he said, looking at Alper's parents and wife. "It's a life-changing event."
Jain, who had just returned from temple in Milpitas when the crash happened, said that the loss and remorse he felt was not comparable to the grief he caused Alper's family.
Jain, who made his first court appearance Friday, was ordered to be present at the sentencing by Siegel at the request of Alper's family. The gallery of more than 100 people — comprised of family and friends of Jain and Alper — packed the courtroom, with some sitting in the jury box. Many there for Alper sported black and white pins that read "Never Forget Joshua Alper." They also brought a life-size cutout of Alper and placed it in the courtroom gallery.
The Sentence
Jain faced a maximum sentence of 360 days in jail, according to prosecutors. While Jain was sentenced to jail time, Siegel said Jain does qualify to apply for alternative sentencing options, which could include a work release program, electronic monitoring or other modified jail terms.
Prosecutor Greg Peinado asked Siegel to consider the maximum sentencing, arguing that Jain was behind the wheel with only five or six hours of sleep and had not eaten for some time.
"He should have taken the time to pull over and rest because he was so fatigued and tired and driving a vehicle he wasn't familiar with," Peinado said.
Jain's attorney Peter Leeming argued that the collision was an accident and incarceration was not the answer.
"I don't think that incarceration serves a purpose," Leeming said.
Before sentencing Jain, Siegel expressed how difficult the case was for him and even said he didn't sleep well the night before. Judge Siegel, who received numerous letters at the behest of Alper and Jain, said both men were good people by all accounts, calling Alper, an angel, and Jain, a saint.
Siegel said that while Jain does not deserve maximum sentence of a year in jail because the case was not the most egregious example of misdemeanor manslaughter, it still showed some amount of criminal negligence.
In addition, Siegel also ordered Jain be placed on three years probation, not be allowed to drive for three years and also serve 200 hours of community service.
The crash
About 11:15 a.m. Nov. 2, Jain was driving north on Highway 1 near Dimeo Lane in his black 2013 Tesla S when he crossed the double yellow line and drove up an embankment before crossing into the southbound lane and colliding head-on with Alper on the road's shoulder, according to the CHP. Alper, who was wearing a helmet, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Jain cooperated with officers investigating the collision. A CHP investigation determined Jain fell asleep at the wheel of the vehicle. While it remains unclear why Jain dozed off, his attorneys said the fumes from the interior of the new Tesla caused him to pass out.
Jain was charged with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter in the collision because the evidence showed he did not "act in such a reckless way that creates a high risk of death." The charges came after a three-month investigation that included toxicology reports, interviews with witnesses and data from Jain's cellphone and his vehicle.
Jain, a technology executive before retiring, moved from his Bonny Doon home to Santa Clara County in the wake of the crash. Jain pleaded no contest in May to misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter.
A civil suit filed by Alper's family against Jain and the Palo Alto-based Tesla Motor Co. alleging negligence was settled out of court in March for an undisclosed sum.
The Alper family also set up the Joshua Alper-Marines Foundation to fund scholarships at UC Santa Cruz in Alper's memory.
Surenda Bhargava, a longtime friend of Jain's, said outside court the sentence was not fair.
"The sentence, I think, was taken under pressure," Bhargava said. "Because you don't know what you're losing. You only think what we are gaining in terms of monetary or personal gain. But by taking a wrong decision by not forgiving, you don't know what you're losing in life."
Outside of court, Alper's mother, Marsha, was met with supportive hugs and many tears.
"It's just a very sad day for everybody," she said.
She later added, "Nobody wins at sentencings."

Consistently growing 70 bushels of soybeans per acre and 200 bushel corn isn't unique in the Southeast, but doing it in a high mountain valley on the western tip of North Carolina is quite a feat.
Andrews, N.C., farmer Ed Wood humbly says the dozens of state and national yield awards hanging in his farm office are much more a result of rich mountain river valley soils and plentiful moisture in most years, than to his skills as a farmer.
Wood farms several hundred acres of grain crops on what is left of a once sprawling family farm along U.S. Highway 74, which is the main west-to-east corridor between Chattanooga, Tenn., and Asheville, N.C.
His farm is literally at the entrance to Great Smokey Mountains National Park, one of the Southeast's top tourist attractions.
The streams that criss-cross his farm feed into one of the country's top whitewater rafting rivers in the Southeast. And, his mountain valley is an ideal environment for gray leafspot and other diseases of corn and soybeans.
Despite his pleas to the contrary, operating a highly productive grain farming operation under these conditions takes skill, innovation and an unyielding commitment to detail.
Innovation and attention to detail come to Wood from a couple of sources. He has a degree in engineering from North Carolina State University, but his skills in applying technology to the farm likely comes more from genetics than a college degree.
Wood's grandfather and namesake built the family farm before, during and after the Great Depression, an era when innovation and hard work were much easier to come by than money.
The family farm once included a dairy and livestock operation, black smith shop, in addition to row crops, and included tenant housing for on-farm workers, and even its own electrical supply — back when not everyone had electricity.
"My grandfather figured out a way to damn up a mountain stream and built a small electric generating plant. The electricity was used to power the dairy, tenant homes and other on-farm needs. This was back in the 1930s," Wood says.
In later years his father built an airport, complete with a grass runway, and of course, bought an airplane to make use of the airport. The airport is now owned and operated by Cherokee County, but Wood still flies around the farm in the old Piper Cub airplane his grandfather bought back in 1947.
Reclaiming the family farm
Wood and his brother Keith, now an Extension farm agent in Cherokee County, N.C., used some of that same innovation to reclaim much of the family farmland, which was rented for several years after his grandfather died.
In 2010 Wood won second place in the National Corn Growers Association non-irrigated category, producing 287 bushels per acre. The award is one of numerous yield awards in both soybeans and corn, which were produced despite a constant battle with diseases that are unique to his mountain valley.
Pioneer, Monsanto and BASF all rent land from Wood to conduct fungicide tests, primarily for gray leafspot in corn.
While having an ideal location for disease research is conducive to renting valuable corn land to large corporations, it isn't so ideal for running a sustainable grain farming operation.
The east-west orientation of the mountain valley helps produce a thick blanket of fog, which covers the valley up to about 200 feet above the ground, during the summer months. This heavy fog traps humidity and moisture near the ground, then typically burns away by mid-morning, producing both an ideal incubation and growing environment for gray leafspot.
Gray leaf spot of corn, caused by the fungus Cercospora zeae-maydis, has been known in the United States since 1924, when it was first reported in Illinois.
The disease was considered a minor problem in corn production, until no-till and minimum-tillage practices began to grow in popularity. In recent years the disease has become a limiting factor in corn production in many areas of the country.
Wood says diseases can be a challenge, but with the fungicides available and his years of dealing with the problem, gray rust and other diseases are not a primary limiting factor for yields.
He rotates corn and soybeans, but typically has a few acres of corn behind corn, which creates problems with his long-term no-till and minimum-tillage systems.
"I can't plant corn behind corn in a no-till situation, because of the disease pressure. In those fields, I have to go back to conventional-tillage to turn under the crop residue and bury some of the disease causing organisms to help with disease management," he says.
"I look at the environment we have and the land we have to farm as much more an asset than a liability," Wood says.
"We have to do some things differently than grain growers in any other part of the country, but at the end of the day the rich soil and plentiful moisture trump the disease pressure, he adds.
Land is lacking
One of our biggest problems farming this mountain valley is a lack of land. "We could probably double our acreage and still have the equipment and labor to manage that size operation, but the land is just not available, Wood adds.
In their current operation, Wood and his son Mathew, with part time help from his brother Keith, farm around an airport, a train track that is no longer in use, one of the busiest tourist highways in the state and land taken out of production by a land-trust.
Western North Carolina, like most regions of the Southeast, is in a severe grain deficit situation. Large poultry operations nearby provide a constant market for grain.
More land would help local livestock producers indirectly by producing more local grain, but that's not a reality that's likely to change, Wood says.
Wood and his son also have a small livestock operation and grow 20-30 acres of hay crops for sale in local markets. They also grow a few acres of pumpkins, which are also sold locally.
A large poultry layer operation located nearby provides much of the fertilizer used on the farm, though it can be challenging because of the high protein, high calcium diets needed to produce eggs. The result is a higher soil pH, which they combat primarily with applications of manganese sulfate and periodic additional applications of sulfur.
Litter from the poultry operation is spread in the fall. Then, Wood comes back with a starter fertilizer when he plants corn, followed by 30 gallons per acre of UAN, when his corn gets to about knee-high.
Most everything about grain production in the western North Carolina mountain valley is a little different from other places in the state.
Weeds are no different. The toughest weed problem in his grain farming operation is burcucumber, which is not much of a problem anywhere else in the Southeast.
Burcumber is a summer annual climbing vine that closely resembles garden cucumbers, especially early in the growth stage. "If you've ever walked through a field of it, you will remember it. The burs get in your clothes and are virtually impossible to remove," Wood explains.
One challenge Wood has not faced in his unique farming environment is glyphosate resistant weeds. While other farmers went to systems that relied heavily, if not exclusively, on glyphosate to manage weeds in corn and soybeans, the North Carolina farmer says he stuck to his long-proven herbicide strategies for weed control in corn and soybeans.
Glyphosate is a part of his herbicide program, especially for controlling burcucumber, but other families of herbicides are routinely used.
Standing in a field of newly planted corn, looking eastward to the Smokey Mountains and Nantahala Gorge, Wood says despite the many challenges of his mountain valley farm, he feels truly blessed to be able to make a living farming in this little corner of western North Carolina.

|We have developed a nonheuristic genome topography scan (GTS) algorithm to characterize the patterns of genomic alterations in human glioblastoma (GBM), identifying frequent p18^{INK4C} and p16^{INK4A} codeletion. Functional reconstitution of p18^{INK4C} in GBM cells null for both p16^{INK4A} and p18^{INK4C} resulted in impaired cell-cycle progression and tumorigenic potential. Conversely, RNAi-mediated depletion of p18INK4C in p16^{INK4A}-deficient primary astrocytes or established GBM cells enhanced tumorigenicity in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, acute suppression of p16^{INK4A} in primary astrocytes induced a concomitant increase in p18^{INK4C}. Together, these findings uncover a feedback regulatory circuit in the astrocytic lineage and demonstrate a bona fide tumor suppressor role for p18^{INK4C} in human GBM wherein it functions cooperatively with other INK4 family members to constrain inappropriate proliferation.

The Plaza is right across the street from the Rosemont Septa station, which makes commuting into Philadelphia Read Morea breeze. The Main Line is definitely an expensive area to live, and what we pay for the Plaza was more than the budget we had set down for ourselves; however, the location and the included utilities make this a great value. I do wish the pool membership was a little less expensive and that there was a gym on site. Maintenance/office staff are awesome, and the building is in great shape.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – Julian Nelson (Irmo, S.C.) scored a game high 25 points, but the Coker men's basketball team came up short in their Conference Carolinas Men's Basketball Quarterfinal Tournament game against King College, 69-65.
The Cobras made a late second half run, tying the game at 62 with a minute remaining and then cutting the lead to just two with six seconds left. However, Coker was forced to send King to the foul line, where the Tornado's Logan Kyle knocked down both free throws giving King a 69-65 win.
Sharod Williams (Miami, Fla.) tied a Coker single season record for rebounds with 249 this season after pulling down 11 boards in the game. Charles West (Ellenwood, Ga.) also scored in double figures, adding 12 points.
The loss ends Coker's season at 14-13 overall and 8-8 in conference play. The Cobras won six of their last seven and made their eighth consecutive trip to the conference tournament.

Mix equal parts cumbia, electro and alt.rock dance, and you've got the potent, refreshing cocktail that is Colombia's Bomba Estéreo. At first, Elegencia Tropical, their latest album, sounds more refined, focused and introspective than their previous release, the party anthem-packed Blow Up. "Bosque" and "El Alma y el Cuerpo" are lush, warm and decidedly gentle. Then things kick up in a big way, with tracks like "Pure Love" and "Caribbean Power," before winding back down with mellow cuts such as "Lo Que Tengo Que Decir," and the fuzz rock-infused "Pa' Respirar" (both personal favorites). Liliana Saumet's vocals can be tricky, veering from sensual to nasal, sometimes within the same song (see "Bailar Conmigo"). Overall, this is enchanting, invigorating stuff. (M. Brianna Stallings)
Dinosaur Jr. I Bet on Sky (Jagjaguwar)
I Bet On Sky ain't Bug, but J Mascis remains a deep well of righteous riffs. Lou Barlow is still a brilliant weirdo bassist and Murph, the drummer, is still bald. The third album released by the reformed original lineup of Dinosaur Jr. is pretty much what you'd expect: sweet, drawling Mascis vocals—man, are they auto-tuned?—with meandering phrasing, lyrics about day-to-day bullshit, quiet-loud-quiet song structures and insane Super Fuzz guitar solos. Unfortunately, listening to these new songs is like taking the generic version of Prozac. It's just not as effective as the original. (Geoff Plant)

How to Make Sauerkraut - or - Four Women Have a Cabbage-Laden SausageFest
My new friend and fellow blogger Amy is wise in the ways of fermented cabbage. Her Croatian-bred family has a long history of kraut making, and she is the proud owner of her grandmother's kraut board. A few weeks ago, she led a great demo at the Minneapolis Farmers Market about how to make sauerkraut. I was awestruck by her sense of humor, her knowledge of kraut, and that amazing kraut board! After the demo, I approached her about getting together for a kraut-making party. She gave me a quart of her homemade kraut, one thing led to another, and soon we had a date. We invited a couple local food loving friends, and decided we'd eat sausages, make kraut, and have fun. Female sausage-fest, here we come!
Finally, this past Sunday, the big day came. It was an unusually warm October day, with temperatures soaring into the upper 70s while golden leaves fell from the trees. We met at Amy's house at 8:45 am, then hopped in her car and drove to the Minneapolis Farmers Market in search of the perfect cabbages. After investigating all the cabbages at the market, we found the goldmine: 50 pound bags of cabbages for only $12. The cabbages were wet under the outer leaves, and were still moist ('bleeding') on the stem where they were cut. Perfect! We bought a bag. I hopped up and down with delight at the thought of all those cabbages, giggling like a little schoolgirl, while Amy hoisted the entire 50 pound bag of cabbages onto her shoulder. She hauled that whole bag of cabbage back to the car on her shoulder through crowded farmers market aisles and busy sidewalks; it was like she was carrying a battering ram. I was impressed. Amy is hardcore.
With all that cabbage weighing down the back of her car, we made a quick stop back at my apartment to get a big plastic tub (more on that later), then went back to her house. Since it was such a beautiful day, we decided to set up our cabbage shredding operation on her back patio. While we got our ingredients and equipment together, we made sure the cabbage was set up comfortably in a lounge chair.
How to Make Sauerkraut
The Basic Framework
- 5 pounds cabbage
- 3 tablespoons salt
- 1 tablespoon something fancy
Other equipment
- Scale
- Cutting board
- Sharp big knives
- Kraut board (if you don't have a kraut board, use a mandoline or those nice, sharp big knives)
- Large bowl or tub
- Crocks or plastic bags to ferment in
We also chose to ferment in plastic 1-gallon bags instead of crocks. This is Amy's most recent favorite method of fermenting. The nice thing about fermenting in plastic bags, according to Amy, is that it requires less maintenance. No scraping, no evaporation, just periodic squeezing of the bag to release excess air.
STEP 1: Select Your Cabbages
Your cabbages should be as fresh as possible, ideally, harvested the same day. Fresh cabbages have more natural moisture, which will create a better brine and will allow for better fermentation and better flavor. If you can't ask the farmer when it was harvested, you can check the bottom of the cabbage where it was cut from the stem. You want the cabbage to still be bleeding, meaning that you feel moisture (or even better, see it) at the cut location. When you peel back the outer leaves, you should see little water droplets hiding under the surface. If you see these things, you have a good cabbage.
The size of the head varies, depending on how dense it is, so weight it if possible, or buy a couple decent size heads (or one really big one) if you are making a single 5 pound batch.
STEP 2: Prepare & Weigh the Cabbage
Peel off the outer layers of the cabbage to reveal clean, unblemished, tender leaves. Then quarter the cabbages, and slice out the tough inner core and any large and thick pieces.
Weigh the cabbage to see how much you have, so you can add the corresponding proper amount of salt. We divided our cabbage into small 5 pound batches, in order to make different flavors and keep track of a proper cabbage:salt ratio. If you want to ferment a larger batch, don't bother sorting - just keep track of your overall weight so you know how much salt to use.
This step is very important, because you will need to be strong for the impending shredding extravaganza - especially if you are crazy like us and have 50 pounds of cabbage to process.
Being a bunch of food people, we had an autumnal feast centered around local, seasonal foods. The anchor of the meal was a variety of locally made sausages. I am a freak for good sausage, and volunteered to get some from the gorgeous meat department at the Seward Co-op. I chose four flavors that were perfect for grilling: Lamb Umbrian Sausage (lamb, pinenuts, herbs), Chicken Curry Apple Sausage (chicken, curry powder, apple), Elk, Cherry, & Mushroom Sausauge (elk, dried cherries, mushrooms, herbs), and Polish Sausage (pork, spices, love). we devoured a buffet of grilled green beans from Untiedt's Farm, homemade kraut flavored with juniper berries, homemade catsup, homemade cornichons, homemade pickles, homemade pickled vegetable salad, local cheese, local apples, roasted candied pecans, Terra chips (um, not local), and four varieties of mustard (also not local). It was pretty much the best thing ever. Even though we were all stuffing our faces, we still found opportunity to tell a seemingly endless stream of bawdy sausage-fest jokes...
STEP 4: Shred
Instead of slipping into a food coma, we got our blood pumping after lunch with a little (um, a lot of) kraut shredding. We used Amy's grandmother's krautboard, a beautiful relic of days gone by. If you don't have a kraut board, use a very sharp knife or a mandoline. You can use a food processor, but I think it feels a little impersonal and mechanical for a process that is so ancient. As Amy says, "You need to put your hands on the cabbage." I agree. Because we were shredding such a massive amount of cabbage, we shredded into a big plastic tub instead of a bowl. It worked like a charm, and was much less messy.
Any scraps that become too small to shred can be thinly sliced using that trusty big knife, and thrown in the bin with all the rest of the cabbage. Waste not, want not!
We took turns shredding and slicing, and did dramatic readings from Nourishing Traditions to pass the time. We also made lots of bawdy and off-color jokes, spoke in horrible German accents, and discussed everything from health issues to local food economy. It was like a conversation dream come true.
STEP 5: Salt
After each 5 pound batch was shredded, we added the salt (3 Tbsp), mixed it around with our hands, and squeeze and pounded the cabbage a bit to soften it. You should notice that the cabbage starts to sweat out liquid. This is the brine that your cabbage will ferment in, so save every little drop! Fresher cabbage = more brine = better kraut. Look at the way our cabbage was juicing all over the place! See those drips? It was perfect.
STEP 6: Season
After adding the salt, we added seasonings of our choice. For each 5 pound batch, it is recommended you add 1 Tbsp of some kind of seasoning. You could also add other things, like garlic, onion, shredded carrot, etc. The options are endless and the measurements are all pretty flexible.
We made two batches of unflavored kraut (one with Canning Salt and one with RealSalt, to test the difference in flavor/color/texture/etc). Then we let our creativity go wild: we flavored one with juniper berries, one with a mix of seaweeds (about a half cup of mixed nori, laver, dulse, and wakame), one with caraway, one with garlic, onions, and red pepper flakes, and one with dill seeds. I chose a mixture of fennel and for the batch that was lovingly titled "Kim's Mix", since I sliced my thumb open on the kraut board while shredding and we had to stop production in order to dispose of tainted cabbage and disinfect the board (while food and blood are never a good combination, it is upped by the fact that I'm a potential infectious disease biohazard. There isn't a definitive statement on whether Lyme can be transmitted human-to-human through blood, but I'm not taking any chances.). Thankfully, our kraut making commenced quickly, although my bandaged thumb sidelined me for the rest of the party. Our last batch was flavored with mix of juniper, clove, bay leaf, sage, and cumin, inspired by a recipe in the book Preserving Food Without Canning or Freezing.
Note: After each batch, we rinsed out the bin with a hose, so there wasn't any mixing of seasonings.
Step 7: Pack
After you salt and season the cabbage, you want to pack it into the vessel that you are fermenting in. This can be a traditional ceramic crock, a 1 gallon jar, some other large container, or gallon size plastic bags (our chosen method for the day). Press the kraut firmly into the container or bag. If using a bag, press out excess air and seal tightly. If using a container, put a plate or disc that fits inside the container on top of the kraut, then put a heavy jar or a rock to weight it down. Oxygen is not the friend of fermentation. More brine will develop the longer the cabbage sits and softens.
Step 8: Wait
Check back regularly to make sure the kraut is fully covered in brine and that nothing funky is happening. if fermenting in crocks, you may need to scrap the top every few days, if using bags there is reportedly no scraping needed (so says Amy) - just make sure to press out any excess air every once and a while. Let it ferment for 6-8 weeks for best results. Then you can choose to repack in jars and refrigerate (maintaining live bacteria!) or can it (kills bacteria, but makes it shelf stable). A 5 pound batch of cabbage will yield about 2 quarts of finished kraut.
At the end of it all, we ended up with 9 gallons, which will yield about 18 finished quarts of kraut. Split four ways, that's a pretty great kraut haul, don't you think? Amy is going to tend the kraut the next 6 weeks, then we'll get back together and repack our jars for eating. I'll be sure to update and let you know how it turns out. In the meantime, you must go over to Amy's blog Cook 'Em if You Got 'Em and read her latest post: Cardoons: Once is Enough. I had the pleasure of hearing her recount her experience with the mystical cardoon in person, but her blog post is nearly as side-splitting hysterical. How often do you get to hear food writing like this: "A high note of baking soda sang above a base taste of overcooked silage, followed by a convulsive sourness."? Yeah, that's what I'm talking about! Read her blog. And stay far, far away from cardoons.
While making your own kraut is a lot of work, it makes up for it in the fact that it is crazy inexpensive. We paid $12 for 50 pounds of cabbage (12 heads) and used probably $5-$7 in other equipment and ingredients. That's about $2 per gallon, which translates to $.25 per pint. When a pint of raw kraut at the co-op averages $8-$10, I'm happy to spend a beautiful Indian Summer afternoon having a cabbage-laden sausagefest with three awesome women.
So here's a thought - why not organize your own kraut party? Cabbages still abound at the market, you only have a couple weeks left! So, get some friends together and make kraut. You'll be happy you did.

VCE study can be particularly daunting. All the
rules and requirements as well as the huge range of subjects can
scare and confuse you.
It doesn't have to be that way. On this page you will find information and links to more information about VCE rules and requirements as well as lots of helpful subject specific material.
VCE Study Requirements:
The Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority requires that you must study a range of subjects that fit the following pattern:
You must complete at least 16 units.
Regardless of how many units you do altogether, the following applies:
# To satisfactory complete the VCE a student must have a
satisfactory result (S) for a minimum of 16 units. This must
# at least three units from the English Group, two of which must
be a Unit 3-4 sequence. The English Group includes English,
English as an Additional Language, English Language and
# an additional three Unit 3-4 sequences of studies other than
English, which may include any number of English sequences
once the English requirement has been met.
If you intend to apply for tertiary entrance at the end of your VCE, you need to be aware that the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre has additional requirements for the calculation of the ATAR.
The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR):
The ATAR is a ranking given to VCE students who apply for one. It is
calculated by the Universities and is used to rank
students for the purpose of offering them a place in
University courses.
It is simply a number between 0 and 99.95 and ranks you relative to the other students who sat for the VCE in the same year as you.
You only need a ATAR if you are intending to go to university once you leave school.
What is a study score?
A study score shows how well you have performed in a study at Unit 3 and 4 level, compared to everybody else in Victoria who took that study. Study scores calculated by the VCAA will be used by the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) to calculate the ATAR.
The maximum study score is 50. Each year, and for every study, the mean study score is set at 30. A score of between 23 and 37 shows that you are in the middle range of students; a score of more than 38 indicates that you are in the top 15%.
For studies with large enrolments (1,000 or more):
- 2% of students will get a score on or above 45
- 9% of students will get a score on or above 40
- 26% of students will get a score on or above 35
- 53% of students will get a score on or above 30
- 78% of students will get a score on or above 25
- 93% of students will get a score on or above 20.
How can I earn a study score?
At Unit 3 and 4 level, there are three Graded Assessments for each study, consisting of School-assessed Coursework (SACs), School-assessed Tasks (SATs) and examinations.
VCE VET subjects that have scored assessment have two Graded Assessments.
The Graded Assessments are different for each study and contribute towards the study score in different ways. If you complete at least two Graded Assessments, and have satisfactorily completed both unit 3 and 4, you will be awarded a study score.

Admission to the Graduate School allows students to pursue graduate study and research at the University of Washington as long as they maintain satisfactory performance and progress toward completion of their graduate degree program. These Guidelines stipulate the conditions for satisfactory and unsatisfactory academic (quarterly) performance and (multi-quarter) progress in the program.
The IAS Graduate Office, IAS Graduate Faculty, and IAS Graduate Program Director are available to assist all students in maintaining satisfactory academic performance in the School. Students who fail to meet the requirements for satisfactory academic performance and/or progress will be notified in writing by the IAS Graduate Office. For additional information see Graduate School Memorandum No. 16 and the University of Washington Bothell Catalog.
In order to remain in good standing in the IAS graduate programs and the University of Washington Graduate School, students must meet the following requirements:
A quarterly and/or cumulative grade point average (GPA) below 3.0
Recommended for beginning students whose quarterly GPA and cumulative GPA are below 3.0 but whose grades in all core courses are at least 2.7; students must be in their first quarter in the School. Recommended for students whose quarterly GPA is 3.0 or higher but whose cumulative GPA is below 3.0.
Recommended for students whose quarterly GPA and cumulative GPA are below 3.0 (except as noted above for students who are in their first quarter in the School).This means that once students receive notice of PROBATION for a cumulative GPA below 3.0, they must maintain a quarterly GPA of 3.0 or higher until their cumulative GPA rises to 3.0 or higher.
Recommended for students whose quarterly GPA is below 3.0 and whose cumulative GPA has been below 3.0 for two successive quarters (excluding the first quarter in the School for full-time students in the School).
Final probation is used to warn students that they will be DROPPED at the end of the next quarter unless they improve their performance.
Recommended for students whose quarterly GPA is below 3.0 and whose cumulative GPA has been below 3.0 for three successive quarters (excluding the first quarter in the School)
A grade below 2.7 in any core course (BCULST 500, 501, 502, 510, 511, 512, and BPOLST 500, 501, 502, 503, 504, 505, 506, 508):
Recommended for students with a grade below 2.7 in any core course. A student who has not passed a core course with at least a 2.7 must repeat the course before proceeding on to the next course.
Recommended for students with a grade below 2.7 in a core course which has been retaken ONCE. This means that students who receive a grade below 2.7 in a core course must retake the SAME core course and must receive a grade of 2.7 or higher on the first retake, or they will be DROPPED from the School.
Recommended for students who have received grades below 2.7 in three core courses. This means that students can retake only two core courses.
According to University procedures, students must receive written notification from the IAS Program Director of unsatisfactory performance (PROBATION, FINAL PROBATION) prior to being DROPPED from the School. The notification must include the steps required in order for the students to return to satisfactory performance.
Students may appeal change of status directly to the Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs at the University of Washington, Bothell. Appeals must be filed in writing within four weeks after the notification of status change is mailed to the student. Appeals beyond the Vice Chancellor at the University of Washington, Bothell, should follow the procedure outlined in the Graduate School Memorandum No. 33, Academic Grievance Procedure.
The following is quoted directly from the UW Bothell Policy on Academic and Behavioral Conduct: Plagiarism: Using another person's original words, ideas, or research, including material found on the Internet, in any academic exercise without properly crediting that person. Please read complete policy.
Examples include but are not limited to:
IAS offers few courses during Summer Quarter, if any. Students may consider summer coursework offered by another academic unit at the University of Washington. Students who wish to take coursework outside of IAS should seek approval prior to registration (see sections on cross campus enrollment and elective coursework in this guide). Students may also pursue directed research, an internship, or study abroad.
If a student fails to earn a grade of at least 2.7 in a course listed as a prerequisite for other courses, the student will be required to repeat the course and earn a passing grade before continuing on to subsequent courses. Graduate students may also, of their own accord, choose to repeat any course. However, graduate courses in IAS are offered only once each academic year. Consequently, students who repeat courses will likely delay their graduation. When a course is repeated, both the first and second grades will be included in the cumulative GPA, but the number of credits earned in the course will apply toward the degree requirements only once.
During the first two weeks of the quarter, a graduate student may withdraw from all courses for any reason by filing an appropriate form with the Registration Office either in person or by mail, or online using MyUW. The date of complete withdrawal is recorded on the student's transcript.
Starting the third week of the quarter, a grade of W plus the week designation is recorded when graduate students drop any course. In case of a complete withdrawal, a W is posted.
Graduate students have until the last day of instruction of each quarter to withdraw completely from all courses. This withdrawal schedule applies to quarters of the regular academic year. The deadlines for Summer Quarter are established by the Dean of Summer Quarter. Unofficial withdrawal from a course results in a grade of 0.0.
To maintain graduate status, a student must be enrolled continuously until completion of all requirements for the graduate degree. Graduate students must file for "On-Leave Status" for any quarter in which they will not be registered for courses. This requirement does not apply to Summer Quarter.
The application for On-Leave Status must be filed online, and there is a $25 fee for each quarter of leave. A student must be in good academic standing and have completed at least one quarter. Failure to maintain continuous enrollment or on-leave status constitutes evidence that the student has resigned from the Graduate School. In the event that a student wishes to resume studies in the program after having gone out of status, he or she will have to contact the IAS Graduate Office for approval and, if approved, pay the $250 reinstatement fee. Registering for and maintaining registration in classes before the end of the on-leave period automatically cancels On-Leave Status.
Please note: Periods spent On-Leave are included as part of the six-year maximum allowed for the completion of a UW master's degree.

'Mah-velous'Mitt vs. 'Out of Touch' Obama
By Roger Simon
And what did Romney mean Tuesday night when he took his wife's (metaphorical) advice to "unzip" and "let the real Mitt Romney out"?
Barack Obama was making a major speech at the Associated Press annual luncheon, and he knew his every word would be examined, especially if one of those words was "Romney," a name he rarely utters in public.
"One of my potential opponents, Gov. Romney," Obama said, "said that he's 'very supportive' of this new (Republican) budget, and he even called it 'marvelous' — which is a word you don't often hear when it comes to describing a budget."
The editors at the AP luncheon laughed. But Obama, who has excellent comic timing, was saving the real punch line.
"It's a word you don't often hear generally ," Obama said.
The crowd hooted. Who could fail to remember Billy Crystal's line, "you look mah-velous, darling!"? Yeah, that Mitt probably goes around saying how he knows a bunch of mah-velous NFL owners and mah-velous NASCAR owners and how his wife has mah-velous bicoastal Cadillacs and how he once he imprisoned his mah-velous dog atop his mah-velous car.
Teddy Roosevelt, it should be noted, did go around saying "bully" a lot. But maybe that sounded manly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
But what was the president saying about Mah-velous Mitt?
I think he was saying Romney was the kind of guy who uses wimpy words, a man insulated from the rough and tumble of real life and out of touch with real Americans due to his vast wealth.
But after Romney won three more primaries Tuesday night, he characterized Obama as out of touch, not due to wealth, but due to an out-of-control ego.
"President Obama thinks he's doing a good job. No, I'm not kidding. He actually thinks he's doing a great job," Romney said. "According to the president, only Lincoln, FDR and Lyndon Johnson have accomplished more. And no, he didn't say that on 'Saturday Night Live.'
"It's enough to make you think that years of flying around on Air Force One, surrounded by an adoring staff of true believers telling you what a great job you are doing, well, that might be enough to make you a little out of touch."
Along with the punches and punch lines, however, the two do have serious and competing visions of America.
As Obama said Tuesday: "Can we succeed as a country where a shrinking number of people do exceedingly well, while a growing number struggle to get by? Or are we better off when everyone gets a fair shot, and everyone does their fair share and everyone plays by the same rules?"
As Romney said Tuesday: "I don't want to transform America; I want to restore the values of economic freedom and opportunity and limited government that have made this nation the leader it is."
Obama said Tuesday: "We've sought to ensure that every citizen can count on some basic measure of security. ... No matter how responsibly we live our lives, any one of us, at any moment, might face hard times, might face bad luck, might face a crippling illness or a layoff."
Romney said Tuesday: "Free enterprise has done more to lift people out of poverty, to help build a strong middle class, to help educate our kids and to make our lives better than all of the government programs put together. ... Many Americans have given up on this president, but they haven't ever thought about giving up."
After Obama finished his speech to the AP, the first question he got was, "What can you say to the Americans who just want both sides to stop fighting and get some work done on their behalf?"
In answering, Obama invoked the most revered name in modern Republican politics.
"Ronald Reagan, who, as I recall, is not accused of being a tax-and-spend socialist," Obama said, "understood repeatedly that when the deficit started to get out of control, that for him to make a deal he would have to propose both spending cuts and tax increases. Did it multiple times. He could not get through a Republican primary today."
That last line began a lot of news stories. And so did Obama's tone.
Bret Baier of Fox News said Obama's speech "sets the stage for a vitriolic debate."
The Associated Press characterized Obama as "combative" and "stinging."
And Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus said, "The president's speeches are becoming somewhat of a 'Saturday Night Live' skit."
So "Saturday Night Live" got a lot of shout-outs Tuesday.
It is an open question, however, whether its satire will match the zip of the real campaign.

United Way's financial workshops a hit
The financial resource center available though the local United Way has become so popular that it's now being offered at local businesses and other organizations.
Several volunteers with the center recently held a series of workshops at Del-Tron Precision in Bethel. Some of the most popular topics requested for workshops and seminars include budgeting, savings and credit.
"One of the newest features we are offering is to bring the workshops directly to the workplace during lunch, break time or whatever is most convenient for them," said Elizabeth Goehring, executive vice president of the United Way of Western Connecticut.
Besides offering on-site workshops, the center is also available to individual families -- more than a dozen have been served in recent months -- as well as a series of seminars at the Danbury Public Library.
"It's a community partnership where everybody wins," said Karen Mello, the director of financial stability with the United Way. "Each of the clients come to us with a different financial story, however, at the end of the day, it's really all the same; financial education leads to financial empowerment and ultimately financial capability."
Sponsors of the program include Newtown Savings Bank, Bank of America and Wells Fargo.
For more information about the center or to schedule a series of workshops, call 203-297-6674.
