Overview of Departmental Honors Thesis
Eligibility and registration
Undergraduate students who complete an honors thesis (HON 494 and HON 495) will receive Departmental Honors from the Department in which this work was completed. This award is presented at the University Honors Convocation at the end of the spring semester. Completion of the Honors Thesis includes 1) submission and approval of the thesis prospectus during the semester the student is enrolled in HON 494; and 2) completion of the final thesis document successful thesis defense meeting during the semester the student is enrolled in HON 495. Students may begin the thesis process during either the fall or spring semester.
All University faculty are eligible to serve as Thesis Advisors to students who are pursuing Departmental Honors. Faculty receive 0.5 load credits for each thesis course (HON 494, HON 495). The student selects a Thesis Advisor from the Department in which they are pursuing Departmental Honors. The Thesis Advisor should have expertise in the content area the student plans to pursue and availability to mentor the student through the two semester thesis experience. Most Thesis Advisors hold weekly meetings with their thesis students throughout both semesters.
The Departmental Honors process is initiated by completion of the HON 494 application (available on this website). The application should be completed during the semester prior to enrollment in HON 494 as this document requires the student to collaborate with their Thesis Advisor to develop a brief description of the proposed project. The latest possible date for submission of the HON 494 application is the end of the add/drop period for the semester in which the student intends to enroll in the course. The application requires signatures from the student, Thesis Advisor, Department Chairperson, and Dean. Once the application is approved, the registrar will create as section of HON 494 for the student to register with their Thesis Advisor as the instructor of record. The student will be notified by the register once this section is available for registration. During the second semester of the thesis experience, the student registers for HON 495, Departmental Honors, provided that the honors prospectus was approved. The student registers for the 495 course with the permission of the chairperson of the University Honors Thesis Committee.
All students, whether or not they are in the Honors College, are eligible to apply
for Departmental Honors , provided they have a 3.0 overall grade point average, with a 3.2 in the department
in which they intend to become a candidate. All Students who are seniors in the Honors
College are required to become candidates for departmental honors in order to remain
in the College. Any uncertainty about a student's eligibility should be resolved by
the Dean of the school representing the department of which the student is pursuing
Departmental Honors.
At the beginning of the semester, the chairperson of University Honors Thesis Committee (UHTC) sends a letter to all Department Chairpersons asking for names, mailing addresses and email addresses, and student ID numbers of candidates for Departmental Honors; thesis titles; and the names of Thesis Advisors. After receiving this information from department chairpersons, the UHTC chairperson sends (via email) a letter to each candidate, explaining the next steps that need to be taken. The thesis sponsor receives a copy of this letter and the calendar of deadlines.
The honors prospectus is due in late October in the fall semester and in late March in the spring semester to be submitted to the chairperson of the UHTC. Most prospectuses are 10 - 15 pages long, and contain a complete description of the student's project, including background literature that forms the context of the study, a statement of purpose or hypotheses, methodology, the nature of the evidence to be used, the limits of the study, and its significance.
The prospectus should be drafted by the student, reviewed carefully by the Thesis Advisor, and revised, if necessary, before it is submitted to the chairperson of the UHTC. The UHTC chairperson sends the prospectus to the faculty member (the University Reader) the student has selected. The University Reader has 10 days to make a decision to approve the prospectus or ask for revisions. All communication between that University Reader and the student are sent through the UHTC chairperson to the student and Thesis Advisor.
Students will select the members of their thesis committee in consultation with their Thesis Advisor. The thesis committee must have a minimum of 3 members. Two members must be from the department of which the student is receiving Departmental Honors. If the student is graduating from the Honors College, at least one member must be from the Honors College faculty list (see Honors College website for a complete list of honors college faculty). The Honors College faculty member can serve in a dual role as one of the committee members listed below or serve as an additional member on the committee. Each thesis committee must consists of:
1) Thesis Advisor who serves as the instructor of record for HON 494 and HON 495;
2) University Reader who reads and approves the thesis prospectus during the semester the student is enrolled in HON 494, reads the final thesis document and attends the thesis defense during the semester the student is enrolled in HON 495;
3) Second Reader who reads the final thesis document and attends the thesis defense during the semester the student is enrolled in HON 495.
Once accepted as a candidate, with an approved prospectus, the student should register for Honors 495. The permission for on-line registration is given by the UHTC chairperson only, not the department chairperson.
The student should work steadily on research and writing in order to complete the thesis by the March or November deadline. The student should be urged to submit a complete draft to the University Reader, Second Reader, and other committee members about a month before the deadline in order to receive critical comments from them and be able to revise or correct the thesis as indicated.
When the thesis is complete, the student distributes copies to the members of their Thesis Committee: the Thesis Advisor, the University Reader, who approved the prospectus for the University Honors Committee, the Second Reader and a representative for the department, and (if needed) a representative from the Honors College. One member of the Thesis Committee may represent two of these categories, but the committee must have at least three members.
The student is responsible for arranging a time and a place for the thesis defense meeting (approximately one hour long) before the student's Thesis Committee. At the end of the defense meeting, the committee's vote decides whether the student receives Departmental Honors. The student must prepare two copies of the Thesis Defense Signature Sheet and obtain signatures at the conclusion of the thesis defense. The student submits one copy to the UHTC chairperson and saves the other copy for their records. Departmental Honors are presented at the Honors Convocation. The date of the Honors Convocation is announced in the Spring Semester Schedule of Classes. The Thesis Advisor submits a grade to the registrar. After successfully defending their thesis, students submit (1) unbound copy of the thesis to the secretary of the Honors College, ENB225.

The world we live in is pervaded with uncertainty and imprecision. Is it likely to rain this afternoon? Should I take an umbrella with me? Will I be able to find parking near the campus? Should I go by bus? Such simple questions are a c- mon occurrence in our daily lives. Less simple examples: What is the probability that the price of oil will rise sharply in the near future? Should I buy Chevron stock? What are the chances that a bailout of GM, Ford and Chrysler will not s- ceed? What will be the consequences? Note that the examples in question involve both uncertainty and imprecision. In the real world, this is the norm rather than exception. There is a deep-seated tradition in science of employing probability theory, and only probability theory, to deal with uncertainty and imprecision. The mon- oly of probability theory came to an end when fuzzy logic made its debut. H- ever, this is by no means a widely accepted view. The belief persists, especially within the probability community, that probability theory is all that is needed to deal with uncertainty. To quote a prominent Bayesian, Professor Dennis Lindley, aThe only satisfactory description of uncertainty is probability.The genetic algorithm methods encode the learning parameters as genetic codes , i.e., chromosomes. ... identification methods, which implement evolutionary methods, are optimized with GA using GAOT MATLAB program [Houck et al., 1995].

In the box: 36 monster cards, 1 marble shaker
Ages 6+, 1+ players
Work on visual discrimination, manual dexterity, figure ground, spatial relations, in-hand manipulation, visual memory, visual closure
Shake up the marble shaker and place it on the table top for all to see. Lay all the cards on the table, picture side up as shown above. Everyone quickly looks over the cards to see who can find the monster card with the pattern in his belly that exactly matches the pattern in the marble shaker. The person who finds it first takes the card. Shake the shaker and go again. First person to collect five cards, wins.
Try this:
- Ask the child to hold several cards in a stack in the non-dominant hand, push them off, one at a time, with the thumb to lay them on the table top or to sort through them for the step below.
- Use the process of elimination - find a specific aspect of the marbles that you will check for, such as 3 blue marbles together along the edge (see above photo). Then flip through the cards and make two piles - one pile with three blue marbles along the edge, and one pile without the blue marbles in that position. Now all you have to do is go through the few cards that matched the three blue marbles to find the one that exactly matches the marble shaker.
- Make the marble pattern for the process of elimination easier to remember by simple looking for the color of the one marble in the middle.
- Show the shaker, everyone memorizes the pattern, then hide the shaker while looking for the match.

'Carrie Diaries' Post-Premiere Interview: Brendan Dooling on Walt & Bennet's Future & More
Check out this brand new post-premiere interview with Carrie Diaries star Brendan Dooling!
The 23-year-old actor stars as Walt, Carrie's (AnnaSophia Robb) best friend, roommate and closest confidante, who was recently outed by his ex-girlfriend Maggie (Katie Findlay).
We caught up with Brendan to chat about tonight's awesome premiere, Walt and Bennet's (Jake Robinson) future, and more!
The Carrie Diaries airs every Friday @ 8PM on The CW!
Click inside to read our interview with Brendan Dooling…
JustJaredJr.com Interview – Brendan Dooling
JustJaredJr: Hi Brendan! We loved the premiere! We have yet to see Maggie and Walt come face-to-face, though they both seem pretty bad about what went down between them. When will we start to see that play out, and do you think they are capable of being friends?
Brendan Dooling: I think that Walt and Maggie love each other very much. I think the circumstances don't allow them to be that easygoing relationship that they had before. They were so close to each other before and now they have to find that balance of sharing that special bond with the person you lost your virginity to and forming almost a new friendship. But I think it's definitely possible and I think both of them crave that ultimately, but it's just a matter of time.
JJJ: Walt and Bennet are waiting until he's 18 to date. When exactly is that? How long do we have to wait to see them together?
BD: We don't see it in any specific episode, but it's roughly at the end of the summer, which falls around the second, third, or fourth episode. It's kind of fuzzy now because we shot it back in July, but it's relatively early in the season.
JJJ: Walt mentioned that he's free to see other people until then. Will he take that opportunity or hold out for Bennet?
BD: His heart lies with Bennet. There's no question there, but he is in the city and there are a lot of new experiences to be had. Even though he wants Bennet in the end, I think he's open to trying new things – not even for himself, but to prove to Bennet that's he no kid. He's not just waiting around like some puppy dog waiting to go outside. He's an independent man and I think he wants to prove that to Bennet.
JJJ: In the premiere, it seems Walt is a lot more comfortable saying that he's gay. Has living in New York City helped him with his confidence and being more comfortable in his own shoes?
BD: Most definitely. He doesn't have to deal with the conflict that is Castlebury for him right now. The city allows him so much more freedom and allows him to get comfortable in this skin of his before he has to go back and face the harsh reality of Castlebury.
JJJ: Speaking of that, will we see Walt's parents this season and the fallout of them finding out?
BD: We're definitely going to see all the drama that comes along with coming out, and coming out in the 80s specifically. The writers stretch it out, appropriately, throughout the whole season. Everything is touched upon. I don't think advocates of Walt's storyline will be disappointed.
JJJ: Good to hear! We love that the writers are really taking their time to get the story just right. It's been one of our favorites.
BD: Yeah, it's nice to have that full arc and you're not just bombarded with all the harsh reality of it. It's a little more…for lack of a better word, human. You get to see all sides of it and the slow progression, and how he deals with it. It's nice.
JJJ: Definitely. When we talked to AnnaSophia she mentioned that her favorite thing about the show is Walt and Carrie's friendship. What can we expect with them this season now that they're living together?
BD: It grows in leaps and bounds throughout the whole season. We're roughly around the eleventh episode out of thirteen, as far as shooting. She becomes Walt's biggest supporter and shoulder to cry on. Donna was that person is season one, interestingly enough, just how it evolved. But in season two, once the truth comes out and Walt's friends know, Carrie is behind him one hundred percent and they grow from there. He owes a lot of his confidence that builds up in season two to Carrie.
JJJ: Will we still see that friendship between Donna and Walt?
BD: We definitely see it. That's a bond that Walt is never going to give up or trade because she was his rock in toward the end of season one, so he's never going to give up on that, and we'll definitely see more of that relationship grow in season two.
JJJ: We also loved the scene tonight with Sebastian and Walt. Will their friendship cause any problems between Walt and Carrie since she's not on the best terms with him?
BD: No, definitely no issues for Carrie. There's no drama there, as far as Sebastian and Walt are concerned whatsoever. Sebastian turns out to be a very understanding guy and Walt appreciates it. It's actually funny to say, but they have a…not a bromance, but just a man-understanding, if you will. And they exist as that. It's kind of really easygoing and it's a nice friendship that forms out of the first episode.
JJJ: Samantha invites herself to crash with Walt and Carrie. Will his collective composure clash with her spitfire attitude?
BD: They are on totally different ends of the spectrum. Walt has sort of a WASP-y air to him, sort of reserved, very refined. Whereas, Samantha is just a whirlwind. She has lots of confidence and she flaunts it every chance she gets. And so as much as they might butt heads, they also learn from each other and it even though it's constructed through Carrie, they end up having a really great friendship.
JJJ: The second season almost feels like a different show. It has all of the same great elements, but it's just a little bit sexier. How would you describe it?
BD: Yeah, I think that's it. It's a great way to describe it. I would just add the fact that there's more humor. The writers have really embraced the quirkiness of the show, the quirkiness of Carrie, the friends that she has, the characters that she interacts with. There's definitely a lot more comedy involved in season two, while staying true to the drama of first love, 1980s homosexuality and what a problem that would be for Walt. We still see all the honesty of it, while also being able to laugh with the characters we love a little bit more.
JJJ: There's still so much story left to tell with your character. Anything you're hoping to see with Walt this season?
BD: All of the things I wished to see Walt go through, he will eventually go through toward the end of season two. I'm sorry to be vague about it, but there's a lot of controversy regarding Walt's way of life during that time, how much fear there was surrounding it, just because of AIDS and people not understanding how people could live this lifestyle. And I think that was always the most important thing to me – to make sure that element of Walt's sexuality was grasped. And Amy Harris does a fantastic job with it. So my goal as far as the storyline is going to be fulfilled. Now it's just a matter of whether or not I can portray it honestly, and not criticize myself to harshly (laughs), and just play it as truthfully as I can.
JJJ: We have no doubt that you will. Was is surprising to see how much support and love came out of your storyline? Many people cite it as their favorite on the show.
BD: I was pleasantly surprised just to see how many people really did fall in love with it. I knew that there would be a following, not necessarily people who really loved it, but who were interested in the very least because of the time and the circumstances. But yeah, I was definitely pleasantly surprised to see how many people could really empathize and relate to Walt's story. It's been a nice surprise.

National Collaborative has success in reducing falls EDMONTON, May 26 /CNW/ - Seniors living in long-term care are less likely to fall thanks to a national project that increased the use of safety plans to protect residents who are at risk. "Preventing falls and reducing serious injury from falls is absolutely critical," says Irmajean Bajnok, Director of International Affairs and Best Practice Guidelines Programs at the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO). "People can be seriously injured and even end up with a disability. Staff in long-term care facilities who have a person-centred, evidence-based approach to reducing falls and fall injuries can increase quality of life for their residents and reduce costs associated with serious injury from falls." The National Collaborative on Falls in Long-Term Care is a joint project of RNAO and Safer Healthcare Now, a campaign of the Canadian Patient Safety Institute (CPSI). Teams made up of nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, personal support workers, dietitians, and pharmacists used recommendations from an RNAO best practice guideline to develop falls prevention plans that were specific to their residents and organizations. In addition to improving methods for assessing risk and reporting incidents, teams participating in the project implemented strategies such as: teaching staff, residents and families how to prevent falls; having residents do balance and strength training; lowering the height of beds; and using bed exit alarms when patients are at a high risk of falling. "I would like to commend the healthcare professionals involved in this project for making it possible for us to introduce and measure a comprehensive approach to preventing falls on a national level," says Philip Hassen, Chair of Safer Healthcare Now's Steering Committee and Chief Executive Officer of the Canadian Patient Safety Institute. "Their commitment to keeping their residents safe and their innovative approaches to preventing falls have shown that through hard work and client-centred planning and care, the majority of falls can be prevented." "We didn't advocate restricting movement or using restraints of any sort," explains Bajnok. "Our focus was on assessing and identifying those at risk of falling and setting up as many preventative strategies as possible. That way, older persons have the dignity and freedom to move about, but also the safety net and support they need." About CPSI The Canadian Patient Safety Institute (CPSI) is an independent not-for-profit corporation, operating collaboratively with health professionals and organizations, regulatory bodies and governments to build and advance a safer healthcare system for Canadians. CPSI performs a coordinating and leadership role across health sectors and systems, promotes leading practices and raises awareness with stakeholders, patients and the general public about patient safety. www.patientsafetyinstitute.ca About RNAO The Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO) is the professional association representing registered nurses in Ontario. Since 1925, RNAO has lobbied for healthy public policy, promoted excellence in nursing practice, increased nurses' contribution to shaping the health care system, and influenced decisions that affect nurses and the public they serve. RNAO's ambitious Best Practice Guidelines Program, funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, was launched in 1999 to provide the best available evidence for patient care across a wide spectrum of health care areas. www.rnao.org

Arsène Wenger spoke after the game and clearly thought his team deserved to make history on Tuesday night. Arsenal had scored two goals but needed a third to seal passage through to the last 8. Arsène frustrated at missed chances and a big refereeing call said:
"We produced a performance we wanted, overall at half time the game should have been over, we created five clear cut chances, I think as well we were unlucky with some refereeing decisions in the first half especially. Monaco had no shot on target at all, we played in one half and they defended well, until the end I think it was a very tight game."
The reporter then asked the Arsenal boss if he agreed with Per Mertesacker's view that the better team went through and he said:
"I don't let the disappointment talk too much. If you look at the shots on target Monaco had over the two games, I think the team who made the least mistakes defensively went through"
Those first leg mistakes will more than likely be replayed in the manager and players heads today, let's hope lessons are now well and truly learnt because the performance in France shows that it should have been us progressing to the next round.

This Isn't Working: How Michigan's Licensing Laws Hurt Workers and Consumers
The Declaration of Independence lists the "pursuit of happiness" as one of Americans' "unalienable rights." For most, this includes the ability to pursue a vocation of their choice. But occupational licensure laws stand in the way of many people trying to exercise this right. For too many people, the right to pursue their dreams has been halted by governments that require them to jump through hoops, pay fees and meet other often arbitrary and inconsistent requirements.
This report gathers data on every occupational license in Michigan. It describes the impact and costs of licensure laws, as documented in the empirical research that has been conducted on this issue. It explains how and why licensing requirements are typically created, but also outlines some of the fundamental problems with a broad licensing regime. Finally, it compares Michigan's licensing requirements to those of other states and makes recommendations for how the state could reform occupational licensure for the benefit of job-seekers and entrepreneurs and for the state's economy as a whole. … more

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Since the government shutdown began, some scam artists are deciding to take advantage.
The Better Business Bureau said there are a couple scams, including one that involves taking advantage of people who have had past problems with the IRS.
"People are getting called by someone who claims to be an IRS agent, and these are people who've had IRS problems before," said Tom Stephens with the Better Business Bureau. "Their tax liens are public, so they're searching tax records with that and using the shotgun approach to call people with same name and tell them, 'If you don't send me 1,000 bucks by money card, they're going to be arrested.' That's happening right now."
Since most IRS operations are closed down, it's hard to confirm what's legitimate and what's not. Stephens adds another one of the scams that's picked up in intensity since the shutdown is people claiming to help you enroll with the Affordable Care Act.
"Sites are not working very well so people are getting called and actually knocks on the door in some places, and saying they're here to help them enroll by giving social security numbers," said Stephens.
The BBB said if you're suspicious, other than census workers knocking on your door, the federal government will only contact you by mail.
"In none of those cases can they actually do what they say they're going to do. One, the government will never call you, never email you, never knock on your door," said Stephens. "If anyone does call you or come to your door, you are well within your rights to call police to check out whether that person is legitimate."
Stephens also said with the government shut down, they're also seeing a rise overall in calls from phony collection agencies. Remember that legitimate collection agencies should never threaten to arrest you or require you to wire any money immediately.

Caulker calamity costs Redknapp
Steven Caulker's own goal condemned QPR to a crushing 3-2 defeat at home to Liverpool, rooting Harry Redknapp's men to the foot of the Barclays Premier League table.
Eduardo Vargas' two late goals had QPR edging towards a deserved and creditable draw, only for Caulker to put through his own net in the fourth minute of added time.
Raheem Sterling, who started for the Reds after the controversy over his England omission last Sunday, had burst clear and tried to pick out the supporting Mario Balotelli before Caulker unwittingly turned the ball in to break Rangers' hearts.

Richard Dunne's own goal put Rangers behind midway through the second half, despite the hosts dominating the contest.
Vargas equalised with normal time running out, notching his first goal in English football, only for Philippe Coutinho to steal the lead again with a deflected effort.
Summer recruit Vargas put QPR back on level terms moments later, but Liverpool sneaked the final word -and the points - with Caulker the luckless fall guy.
All eyes were on Sterling, in the starting line-up against his old club, after a week in which he had been an almost permanent fixture on the back pages following England manager Roy Hodgson's revelation that the player had complained of tiredness prior to the qualifier away to Estonia.
Once the game began, there were certainly no signs of fatigue from QPR, as Holland midfielder Leroy Fer twice hit the crossbar in a dominant first-half display from the Londoners.
No amount of cajoling from the excellent Bobby Zamora could yield the QPR breakthrough however, leaving Harry Redknapp's men stuck at the bottom of the table on Sunday night.
Redknapp has had to fend off suggestions that Les Ferdinand's arrival as head of football operations puts his Loftus Road status in jeopardy.
The former Tottenham boss' cause was not helped by Dunne's crushing own goal, but this rousing performance points to potential improvements ahead.
Rangers owner Tony Fernandes will be chief among those crossing fingers the club can claim their just rewards in future.
Rangers bossed the first half, stretching Liverpool time and again, pulling out all the stops bar a goal.
The hosts outplayed, out-thought and outmanoeuvred lacklustre Liverpool, who had serious problems with Emre Can's link work with Dejan Lovren and Martin Skrtel.
By contrast Sandro dominated proceedings in front of Rangers' back line, allowing the likes of Fer to raid effectively off lynchpin Zamora.
Former West Ham striker Zamora was the clear man of the first half, causing untold problems for Can dropping deep to offer the ideal pivot for Rangers' attacking blueprint.
Fer should have scored twice in the half, so despite all the promise the hosts will have been frustrated to turn around without a comfortable lead.
Charlie Austin bundled his way clean through only to bungle his finish, even flicking the rebound wide from Simon Mignolet's parried save.
Liverpool's malaise consistently emboldened Rangers, who again should have taken the lead when Zamora drifted into the inside-right berth.
After driving deep into the Liverpool box, Zamora dragged back the perfect ball for the onrushing Fer - only for the Dutchman to blast against the crossbar despite plenty of time and space to pick his spot.
Neither side learned their lesson from the incident, Liverpool allowing Zamora to produce another telling right-wing cross only minutes later.
This time Fer beat Mignolet to the centre and headed goalwards, but again his finish was mere paintwork away from breaking the deadlock.
Liverpool finally conjured a serious opening as the half dwindled to a close, Balotelli's slide-rule pass inviting Steven Gerrard to tiptoe around Caulker.
The former England skipper's curling shot was always heading wide however, leaving both sides frustrated at the break, though for vastly differing reasons.
So nearly the home hero, Vargas ought to have cherished getting off the scoring mark in style, but was left to bemoan a strange quirk of fate.
After Dunne put through his own net, all bedlam broke loose, and in the event the hosts were cruelly and unjustly denied.

A long-term strategic security relationship with India is "critical" to ensuring freedom of navigation in the Indian Ocean, a top US general told lawmakers today while calling for strengthening of defence ties between the two countries.
Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff General Joseph Dunford said the US and India should continue to expand cooperation in areas of mutual interest like maritime security.
"We should also continue to strengthen our defence relationship by pursuing opportunities to co-develop and co- produce defence technology under the US-India Defense Technology and Trade Initiative," he said in a written response to questions submitted to him ahead of his confirmation hearing.
"A long term strategic security relationship with India is critical to ensuring freedom of navigation in the Indian Ocean," Dunford said during his re-confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Noting that the US India military relationship is strong and getting stronger, Dunford said the two countries cooperate through complex naval exercises such as Malabar in the Bay of Bengal as well as robust engagement through defence trade and technology cooperation.
He said the US had a range of military options to support diplomatic efforts to influence Chinese behaviour.
Militarily, the Joint Force will engage with the Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) within congressionally mandated limits, build alliance capacity through close cooperation, and maintain international law through appropriate operations, he said.
China has shown willingness to use economic leverage as a way to advance the Chinese Communist Party's regional political objectives, Dunford said.
As China's military modernisation continues, the US and its allies and partners will continue to be challenged to balance China's influence, he said.
Dunford said the long-term, sustained presence was critical to demonstrating that the US is committed to the region.
The US will continue to develop a security network through multilateral partnerships and build interoperability and partner capacity to help allies and partners stand up to Chinese coercive behaviour, he said.
Unilaterally, the US will continue to develop capabilities to counter China's improving military capabilities, he added.

As I write this, the quilt is in the washing machine, being gently washed and then to be put into the dryer, and hopefully when I take it out, it won't be a mass of unraveled fabric pieces and a wad of thread. Says a lot for my sewing confidence, eh?
There is a new shop in town, Plum Project Studio, a fabric/yarn shop/rent-able studio space that is in my neck of the woods and has an owner who is so friendly and nice and helpful, that I knew I wanted to take a class from her. And why not quilting? This is my first real quilt. ( I previously made a pillow from a tedious pattern that I had to blow up in my printer, bleah!!)
The quilt is all made from fabric strips, sewn together, mitered, sewn together again, and edged. I'm not totally happy with my sewing abilities in the edging. The centre square is a bit of a wonk-fest. Because it's all mitered together, it was darn hard to get that square squared-up. In retrospect and with consultation with Janice (the quilting teacher) I should have had the center be a large white square and I think it wouldn't have shown up as wonky. Most of my miters meet up, some are a bit off. I've decided, just here and now, that I'm embracing the wonkiness as a design choice. hah!
But…I'm loving the square design and the colours. I picked bolts that she had in her store, pieced them together in a colour combination that I liked, brought it home and saw that it was perfect for the living room. In fact, the painting of my mom's that was sitting next to it was uncannily the exact same colours. Whoa. Funny how my subconscious brain does a much better getting the job done than my conscious brain.
Anyway, the fabrics are all organic cotton canvas. It is weighty and has heft. The backing is just an off-white cotton, lighter weight than the quilt top. It's all machine pieced and quilted. The pre-wash size is 47.5″ square.
And I love it, love it, love it…well, until it comes out of the washer/dryer….
…..and….miracle of miracles, it's all in one piece! It shrunk to a 43″ square. Thanks be to the goddess of crafting, it didn't bleed, although I did do a test wash on that, but you never know, eh?
But the end product is perfectly puckery and in one piece.
Diamonds are good too!

Way before the concept of 'Hero' even came to my comprehension; I had already involuntarily created an imaginary image of one in my tiny head and had in fact found a person who befitted the title, in my small world as a young child. From as far back as my memory takes me, I remember observing and admiring everything about him, trying to ape some of his mannerisms that I secretly fancied and even playing 'let's-pretend' by myself pretending to be him! The growing-up years only witnessed this admiration to raise many folds and as the bonding between the two of us thickened, the perceived Hero doubled up as a Best Friend of sorts. Yes, as is the case with most daughters, I was Daddy's little girl whose friend, philosopher, guide and much more all rolled up into one was her Father.
Dad ensured that my upbringing was never monotonous; it was always laced with an element of fun. Routine chores were made more appealing as he always found time to share a joke and get us crackling with laughter. Topics were endless, when the two of us got together to talk. The child in him would crop up every so often and team up as my partner-in-crime on several occasions against poor, non-suspecting Mum!
Irrespective of the scale of the problem that I was faced with, right from those petty childish complaints, friendship issues that bothered me, peer pressure that I could not overcome by myself, school/college farewell doldrums, career choice confusions, high tension work tasks that I was challenged with at office, to the process of deciding my life partner… I knew just whom to go to. Those patient ears were always there for me, any hour of the day. His words of advice comforted me, like no one else's. Additional to tender parental care, the moral support as a friend that he offered, eased my journey through childhood and adolescence into adulthood.
There have been very many occasions when Mum has spent sleepless nights nursing me through some ailments that have troubled me. But the memory that is most vivid in my mind goes back to the time when I was just three or four, when my Dad forgoing his sleep, stayed up all night cradling in his arms, a wailing me tormented by a bout of ear infection. Sitting by the balcony through the night, he told me stories of the stars as I eventually drifted into sleep in his comforting embrace.
I recollect not one, but several instances when Mum would relentlessly spend the whole day devoting a lot of energy and emotions trying to make a point to me, enlightening me of the rights and wrongs. In return, I would either, counter her views or wouldn't pay much heed to it, blame it on the inherent feeling that 'Mothers always give boring lectures!!' But when Dad comes along and in just a few words, conveys the same point to me, in his own way, all of a sudden as if by the swish of a magic wand, everything seems to make perfect sense and I fall in line and agree to what I am being told!
Even to this day, apart from the routine parents-daughter conversations, I look forward to those entertaining Dad-and-Me times when we fill in each other with anecdotes, giggles, gossips, and advise and just about anything and everything happening in our respective lives.
This favoritism towards Dad cannot be termed partiality. Since, it is not a comparison or favoring of one parent over the other. There is something more special and beautiful to a father-daughter relationship than just that of a parent-child. It is this very aspect that comes to the fore and precedes everything else, all those times whenever Dads are given their preferential treatment by their little daughters. He is more than a parent; Daddy is a girl's best friend!!

This post originally appeared on True to You: A Revolutionary Way to Transform Your Life.
My path through the legal profession has been unconventional. Thinking about it in the context of UST School of Law's mission raises other questions: How has doing what's right and what's smart helped me to navigate a profession in which defeated, depleted, depressed, and/or addicted attorneys are commonplace to have joy and purpose in my own practice? How have I centered my practice on serving my clients rather than showcasing me? How did I grow a solo practice right out of law school in an unfriendly practice area? The deceptively simple answer is that I did what was right, even when it was hard.
Blazing within me is a call to enact social change. It showed up early, and I did my best to honor it. At 11, I was the last girl left on the co-ed baseball team. After I refused to quit, the coach removed me from the roster and told me to go play softball with the other girls, where I belonged. This didn't sit well with me. My gender was not a legitimate reason why I couldn't do something. I made it on base more often than the boys, and worked as hard.
One boy on the team had detonated the forbidden "f-bomb." This was very big deal. Another boy had thrown a bat in anger that had connected with the right shin of the other team's coach. Both boys had spent time on the bench. Yet they had remained on the team. The coach had booted me off for my offense: being a girl.
My brother, Dan, continued to play on the baseball team and hated it. I went on strike from softball and played Dan's favorite sport: soccer. My parents had two unhappy kids that summer. Dan and I proposed a creative solution: swap us. Neither Dan nor I minded being the only boy or girl. We just wanted to play. But the rules kept us out, and we were powerless to change them.
I appealed to those who had power: the grownups.
Whenever my parents took me to watch Dan play baseball, I pled with the coach to let me back on the team. When that failed, I tried a new approach. I went from parent to parent on the bleachers, and asked, "Did you know that they won't let me play because I'm a girl? That's not fair! Will you sign this piece of paper saying you want me to play?" They gave me hand pats and smiles, head shakes and laughs. No signatures. My petition flopped. I had a lousy three signatures (one for each Berg kid).
I returned to where my mother sat and yelled toward the dugout, "Let girls play!"
"Rita Theresa, be quiet or you're going to have to leave. You're disrupting the game."
"Yeah, Mom, that's the point. I'm starting a riot! LET GIRLS PLAY!"
Mom sent me to the car.
I went on to join softball and made the most of it. The inner guidance system that urged me to do something when faced with injustice never went away. And it has served my clients well. Any competent lawyer can make a case. The attorney who stays focused on doing what's right for her client while she makes that case can make a difference.
To make a difference, I had to be willing to shatter the Mr. Defender model in criminal defense and take a different approach to growing a professional practice. Early on, my own experiences with my fellow defenders showed me why potential clients were quick to seek out my emotionally intelligent, client-centered practice. One Mr. Defender told me I was "too pretty to defend criminals." Another Mr. Defender, upon hearing I'd opened a second location, this one on his well-established turf, said, "If there's a cross burning on your front yard tomorrow morning, you'll know where it came from." And yet another Mr. Defender told me, "It's the way it's done in defense, and if you can't deal with it you better get out." When I later challenged this attorney for sexist speech at my law practice, he said, "I'm going to say whatever I want to say, whenever I want to say it, wherever, to whoever!"
When told to deal with the culture or go do something else, where I belonged, my inner guidance system flashed and blinked. The Mr. Defenders were wrong. By integrating faith (doing the right thing) and reason (doing the smart thing) into my professional practice, I discovered there's a high demand for emotionally intelligent, client-centered representation. I stayed focused on my clients. Even when the other defenders preferred that I get kicked off the team, I claimed my rightful place and kept swinging for the fences.

Teachers' perceptions of the impact of professional development on teaching practice: The case of one primary school
Aminudin, Nurul Aini
View fulltext online
Permanent link to Research Bank record:http://hdl.handle.net/10652/2013
This research examines teachers' perceptions of the impact of their professional development experience on teaching practice. Teachers' professional development is often regarded as the key to successful education reforms. Hence, teachers are expected to experience continuous professional development to keep abreast with the relentless change taking place in the education system. However, problems arise when too much emphasis is placed on making sure that teachers take part in professional development initiatives. To some teachers, professional development is seen as a burden and not as an opportunity to improve their practice as the reforms has intended. This happens as the teachers are made to take part in various standardised professional development programmes that are not tailored to their specific needs. As a result it has become less effective in helping the teachers improve their own practice. This research takes the form of a qualitative study that employs three research instruments: document analysis, questionnaires that are filled in by all the teachers and five semi-structured interview sessions. This research study is guided by three key questions: What are teachers' perceptions of the impact of professional development on their teaching practice? Secondly, what factors influenced teachers' perceptions of the impact of professional development on their teaching practice? Finally, what are the challenges or difficulties experienced? The findings reveal that the participants have issues with sustaining changes to their practice; they experience external professional development overload while at the same time they are also struggling to create more opportunities for school-based professional development. In addition, the findings from this study also indicate that the participants want to have some say for their own professional learning. In addition, this study also stresses on the need for to the participants to experience one professional development programme at a time and to have sufficient support and follow-up during that time to ensure that changes in teaching practice are best sustained.

Advanced Task Manager is a useful program that shows you exactly what is running on your computer, including hidden processes. It gives you lots of information and calculates a security risk rating for each process.
Advanced Task Manager also tells you whether a program connects to the Internet, watches what you type, is an Internet server, is hidden, is encrypted on disk, has invisible windows, etc. The security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process of being a virus, spyware, malware, trojan, etc. If you discover a process you don't want to run on your computer you can quarantine it so it doesn't start anymore.
The included Startup Manager helps you control the Windows startup programs. Several other tools offer you detailed information about important Windows internals such as DLL files, Internet connections, CPU and memory use, etc.
Advanced Task Manager offers you far more information that the classic Windows Task Manager by providing additional security related data and allowing you to quarantine suspect processes. It was designed to improve the original Windows software; it will run as a separate program, without interfering with the original one.

It's a corruption case that's sending shock-waves through the Philadelphia Police Department and community.
"I can say that I've been a police officer for more than 40 years and this is one of the worst cases of corruption I have ever heard." said Philadelphia Police Commissioner, Charles Ramsey.
Federal Agents arrested six Philadelphia Police Narcotics Officers Wednesday morning as part of a nearly two-year corruption probe.
Investigators say they stole more than $500,000 in cash, drugs and personal property between 2006 and 2012; they then shared in the profits.
"Like everyday drug dealers do, that's what they were doing," said U.S. Attorney Zane Memeger.
The federal indictment claims the officers falsified police records as well as left people in prison for several days, without any charges being filed against them.
"It's a malignancy that's there and if you don't cut it out, it will not improve on its own," Ramsey added.
The indictment also paints a picture of brutality, claiming the officers dangled suspects over high-rise balconies during interrogations and beat them, all for fun.
The indictment states, "While participating in a game, the participants would receive points for different types of physical abuse that they could inflict on subjects."
"These acts alleged in the indictment go beyond egregious," Ed Hanko with the FBI said.
The officers are facing multiple charges including extortion, robbery, kidnapping and drug-dealing.
An attorney for the officers, however, says they're innocent.
"We're going to fight the case and we're going to fight the allegations," said Defense Attorney, Greg Pagano.
The names of the officers are:
Thomas Liciardello, Brian Reynolds, Michael Spicer, Perry Betts, Linwood Norman, and John Speiser.

There are scenarios where the VCSA partitions will become highly utilized time to time,
The current scenario is /dev/sda3 11G 8.3G 1.9G 82% reached 82 % . This will not cause any issue until the complete space is used on the partition. To avoid the failure of the vcenter server in the future I fixed the issue as below,
- At very first I was planning to extend the disk size of the vcsa by following the KB2126276
- But later checked the partition and found that the audit logs consuming the considerable amount of storage on the /dev/sda3 ,
test-vc1:var/log # du -Sh * | sort -rh | head -n 15 2.6G audit
- I have rotated the audit log on the vcsa 6.0
test-vc1:/var/log # cd /etc/logrotate.d/
test-vc1:/etc/logrotate.d # logrotate audit
- After rotating audit logs the usage had come down to 59%
This is one of the solutions for fixing the issue.

Casting calls and news items in the TV community come in each day here to FilmJerk.com. Amy Lawrence catches the minutiae that falls through the cracks, and discusses them more in depth than most of them probably deserve. Today, read news on some more new pilots, stuff on all three editions of "Law & Order" and "Queer as Folk."
Century City: In "Haunting," a women sees her dead husband, but it's really a virtual clone he made as an experiment. It's up to the law to decide if this Data is a real person or not. Also, a man's mother makes an embarrassing website about her son and he sues.
Crash Course: This pilot for Fox is about the Fleming family, still recovering from the death of Mr. Fleming. Reese is teaching at Columbia, but comes home to be the man of the family and take care of his younger siblings. The series takes place on a small college campus in California.
CSI: Miami: A man is killed in a home "Invasion" but Horatio thinks more is going on than meets the eye.
Grid: This mini-series about counter-terrorism will air on TNT and is set to star Dylan McDermott and Julianna Margulies.
Hack: Olshankly does a favor for Liz by helping a woman find the child her husband took away from her in episode 37.
Hawaii Blue: Danny is the hotshot cop and John is his new partner, just as cocky as Danny. Linh is a beat cop who both men want. This pilot is for NBC.
Home and Hardware: Andrea works for Restoration Hardware and is having an affair with her boss. Her ne'er-do-well brother shows up and changes her life, for the better. Also a pilot for NBC.
JAG: A pilot may have crashed his plane in a suicide attempt and it's up to Harm to figure it out.
Judging Amy: PLUSHIE ALERT! Episode 15 is called "Werewolves of Hartford" and there will be Blue Bunnies and Babs the Badgers galore. If none of this means anything to you, just google "plushie".
Las Vegas: Episode 15 is "A Good Day to Die 2." A movie is being filmed at the Montecito and the lead actor dies performing a stunt. Sam must go to war as another casino is stealing her whales.
Law and Order: A veteran whose son is killed in Afghanistan kills a war protester in "Veteran's Day."
Law and Order: Criminal Intent: Hmmm, "Talented Mr. Ripley" anyone? "Eric" steals a friends identity, pretends to be gay, sells HIV tainted blood and kills to protect himself in "Mis Labeled."
Law and Order: Special Victims Unit: An agoraphobic keeps her kids home with her and, basically, they all go nuts in "Home."
My Wife and Kids: In "Illegal Smile," Michael gets Botox and it freezes his face into a creepy smile, right when he's trying to talk his way out of a traffic ticket.
Navy NCIS: "My Other Left Foot" is found in a dumpster and is traced back to Marine Thomas Dorn, who died two years before.
NYPD Blue: Episode 14 centers around a gang killing. Rival gang members are brought in for questioning, but the killing was done by a landlord who didn't want trouble in his building.
Queer as Folk: New character Drew Boyd is a closeted football player.
Venice Beach: This pilot is "unscripted and improvised." It centers around Ben, a model and veterinary student; his girlfriend, a decorator; Frank, a rich stock broker; Tomas, another male model; Lara, a professional kick boxer and clothing buyer and lots of other rich, beautiful, sexy characters that I'm already sick of.
West Wing: We flash back to Leo's time in Vietnam in "An Khe" as his old army buddies are in Washington working on a military contract for an aerospace corporation. New recurring character Ben is C.J.'s ex, now back in her life.

UC Irvine's MicroSystems Laboratory Featured in IEEE Spectrum Magazine
Dr. Alexander Trusov's presentation at MEMS 2011 sparks interest
The Henry Samueli School of Engineering's MicroSystems Laboratory was recently featured in the science magazine IEEE Spectrum following a presentation made by Alexander Trusov, Ph.D., a project scientist in the laboratory, at the 24th Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) International Conference on Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS 2011) in Cancun, Mexico.
Trusov's presentation featured a new type of microscopic gyroscope called a Foucault pendulum on a chip. The device is a MEMS gyroscope made of silicon that is capable of directly measuring angles of motion faster and more accurately than current MEMS-based gyroscopes. MicroSystems Lab director and professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering Andrei M. Shkel, Ph.D., explained that this approach may lead to more accurate gyroscopes due because it measures angles directly and removes the step of the device having to make the numerical integration of the noisy angular rate signal.
The MEMS gyroscope uses the same principle as a Foucault pendulum, a device at many museums that demonstrates the spin of the Earth. The MicroSystems Lab's gyroscope has four small masses of silicon a few hundred micrometers wide that are synchronized for anti-phase, dynamically balanced motion using a lever mechanism. A small electric voltage starts the masses vibrating in unison along a fixed line. As the gyroscope spins, the direction of the vibrational energy precesses the same way a swinging pendulum would, providing an instant measurement of the rotation angle.
Shkel is currently on leave from his UCI position and is working with the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) leading a program to create angle-measuring gyroscopes for better inertial guidance systems. Shkel hopes the DARPA program will improve manufacturing processes in general, giving conventional microgyroscopes higher precision for applications that do not require the bandwidth and dynamic range of a chip-scale Foucault pendulum.
The IEEE MEMS conference paper was coauthored by I.P. Prikhodko, S.A. Zotov, A.A. Trusov, and A.M. Shkel.

Httpwww.google.com, httpgroups.yahoo.com, In-valid URL, Why?
Explorer and searched one of many following phrase's in-the search bar, httpwww.google.com,
httpgroups.yahoo.com, httpyahoo.com, or maybe wwwgmail.com, hit search, '--'
Eh, Nothing, WHY?
So that you have heard about Google or Yahoo, fired up the trusty Internet Explorer and typed one of the following phrase's in-the search bar, httpwww.google.com, httpgroups.yahoo.com, httpyahoo.com, or maybe wwwgmail.com, strike search, '--' Eh, Nothing, WHY?
You are one of many, over 3,000,000 people a-year type in httpwww.google.com, over 2,000,000 type in httpgroups.yahoo.com, and 2,600,000 enter wwwgmail.com, all with the same effect, Nix. The problem is two-fold, the solution is easy.
Let's have a look at one term in particular and you can apply the same solution to others. Get further on www.auromere.com by navigating to our dynamite encyclopedia. When you typed in httpwww.google.com, you'll likely have entered this right into a white text box somewhere in-the top third element of your browser which might automagically have an AOL or MSN website showing. This is really a search text box where you have to key in what you're trying to find like a word or phrase. Using httpwww.google.com for instance, if you'd typed in only Google you would have found the search-engine finding its way back with a myriad of pages that have the definition of Google on the pages and then you may have selected what interests you. The search text box is where you key in, as an example, a phrase like 'acne and acupuncture.' Hit-the search option and bingo, many related web sites will be found.
Httpwww.google.com is not a search term but an internet address. If you have the correct address and wish to go to that site, you should enter it in the address bar which can be usually just under the top toolbar of your browser. You'll see that most handle bars try it out button on the right instead of a search button as in the search field explained before.
The last part of the solution is in the spelling of httpwww.google.com. In the event people require to identify extra info on ayurvedic products, we recommend lots of online libraries people should consider pursuing. Httpwww.google.com must in fact be written the following, http://www.google.com/.. You were mighty close, but computers are wickedly rational and a missing forward cut usually means despair.
In conclusion;
1- Search terms go in-the search text box,
2- Addresses get in the top address club,
3- Addresses have to be spelt correctly.
Httpwww.google.com corrected is http://www.google.com/,
Httpgroups.yahoo.com corrected is http://groups.yahoo.com/,
Httpyahoo.com adjusted is http://www.yahoo.com/,
Wwwgmail.com fixed is http://www.gmail.com/. Http://Auromere.Com Talk contains more about the inner workings of this belief.
Happy surfing!.

Nº 1905
Black classic watch by W. T. Author
Launched on Friday 13th September 2013 & built in Britain, Nº 1905 men's classic watches in black draw inspiration from the turn of the 20th Century: a time when the first wristwatches for men were introduced by Louis Cartier and Edmond Jaegar. Taking inspiration from traditional aesthetics of the pocket watch, it reflects pioneering achievements of the era with signature shoulders brazed directly into the bespoke case allowing a raw cut hand-made leather strap to be fitted.
We assemble our products using tailor-made components from every corner of the globe (from USA to South America, the Far East to Switzerland and of course, Great Britain).
Author's unique hour markers
Custom-made hands
The case measures 46mm across, 52mm high including the lugs with a case depth is 11mm. The dial utilises numbers taken directly from 1900′s pocket watches and is enhanced with Author's unique hour markers. Traditionally formed custom-made hands complete the dial. The men's classic watches have been modernised with a beautiful enamel screw down case back, the signature red aluminium crown embossed with W. T. Author's 'A' trademark and a Swiss made Ronda 513S Quartz calibre movement.
Raw leather watch strap
Exquisite beauty
Each natural raw leather watch strap has been handmade in Britain using Argentinian-sourced buffallo hide. The rich colour of these 9 to 10 ounce double shoulders, which is applied during the tanning process, goes completely through the leather. The result is a glazed leather with exquisite beauty, that will uniquely mould itself to your wrist over time. The strap has been designed and manufactured to fit a 24mm lug width with an overall thickness of 4 – 5 mm and is embossed with W. T. Author's 'A' trademark. It is completed with a chrome stainless steel roller buckle.
Wherever you are in the world
Free shipping
We believe that our products should be available at the same price wherever you are in the world. That's why offer free shipping wherever you in the world.
