|My work focuses on the role of the visual arts in the construction of modern national identities, especially in early and mid-twentieth-century Japan. My current research project is titled Earth, Stone, Wood, Ink: The Natural Materials of Modern Japan. I am particularly intrigued by artists whose positions partly outside Japan complicated the artistic identities they developed in various media: Isamu Noguchi, Minoru Yamasaki, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, and Fujita Tsuguji. My first book, Art in the Encounter of Nations: Japanese and American Artists in the Early Postwar Years (2001) examines the contribution of discourses about abstract ceramic sculpture, avant-garde calligraphy, abstract paintings, and place designs to modern Japanese cultural identity. My second book Maximum Embodiment: Yoga, the "Western Painting" of Japan, 1910-1955 (2012) investigates Japanese appropriations of the the European medium of oil-on-canvas painting. In two articles on Isamu Noguchi, I consider the different cultural significations of a range of sculptural and design materials (clay, stone, metal, plastic) in his thinking and practice.

The 'baggy green' is a green flannel cricket cap embroidered with an unofficial Australian coat of arms. Australian Test cricketers have worn the cap since the 1900s, but in the last few decades it has grown in significance to become a symbol of patriotism, tradition and team solidarity.

CNET Update
Ultra HD TVs are big at CES 2013At CES 2013, TV manufacturers show off Ultra HD and new smart TV features, Dish adds Slingbox to its DVR, and headphones send music through your bones.
10 ADP is so yesterday. I'm Bridget Carey, and this is your CNET update. It's opening day at the 2013 International Consumer Electronic Show. On Monday, we have 12 solid hours of press conferences from all the types of tech companies. So, here is a quick breakdown of the highlight so far. Let's talk televisions because home entertainment is always the star of the show. LG finally announced shipping and pricing details for its 55-inch OLED TV, which was the hit of CES last year. The TV will begin shipping in March, and will cost $12,000. This TV won CNET's highest honor at the show last year, but it was delayed due to what was rumored to be manufacturing issues. But this year, everyone has focused with TVs with 4K resolution, also known as Ultra-HD. You need a very large screen to appreciate that extra resolution. Sharp showed two Ultra-HD sets. The 60-inch Purios, available this summer, and the Aquos, coming out in the second half of the year. Samsung unveiled an 85-inch version that comes with a floor stand that looks like an easel. Sony also focused on 4K, but it was the only one with plans to bring 4K content to consumers. There will be a video distribution system coming this summer. Smart TVs are getting a bit smarter. Panasonic's new TVs have personalized home screens for every member of the house. And people could share content by tapping an NFC Smartphone against the TV. We're also seeing more televisions incorporate voice commands. And Dish has a new Hopper DVR that's integrated with Slingbox. The device lets you transfer a recorded show to your iPad for viewing on the go without an internet connection. There are only a few Smartphones being unveiled here, and the ones that are here are all that exciting. That's because companies tend to show off the good stuff at Mobile World Congress next month. Sony, however, did show off the waterproof Xperia with a 5-inch high-def screen, 13-megapixel camera, Quad Core processor and NFC. But my favorite part in CES is seeing all the cool new gadgets. Globe a track can help you track your lost luggage with the Trackdot, a small battery-powered device that fits in your suitcase and monitors its location with GSM. Panasonic has had phones that don't go in your ear. They rest on your cheekbones, and send the music vibrations to your head with bone conduction. We're also seeing more smart watches that think with your phone, and I love this new Lego Mindstorms that they let you build you own programmable robot. It teaches kids how to program, but also can be fun for adults. There is lots more coming up during the week, so stay tuned to our live streaming coverage at CNET.com/live and catch up on all the news at CES.CNET.com. From CES 2013, I'm Bridget Carey.

Know more about this business than we do? Cool! Please submit any corrections or missing details you may have.Help us make it right
Be the first PennLive.com user to add photos or videos of Kresge-Lebar Drug & Surgical
I'm in the business of online pharmacy and these positive reviews sound an awful lot like someone from Kresge writing them. Who says ""I'm so relieved to be able to order what I need online""? Are you kidding? Where you been the last DECADE? Or the person who takes the time to write a review of an online pharmacy, not mentioning the website they ordered from once, but instead skips the website reference, yet knows they get their orders dispensed by Kresge Lebar and that Kresge has been accused of shorting pills.
I've personally been doing websites for online pharma since '98 and I...
I am so relieved to be able to order what I need online- delivered to my door without any headaches and I will continue recommending this to anyone who needs a service such as this one.
I've never had a problem and hope that I never do- BUT in the event that a mistake is ever made- as humans sometimes do- I have faith that it would be corrected without issue.
Happy to be a repeat customer.
Kresge-lebar Drug And Surgical, Inc. was founded in 2004, and is located at 425 Main St in Stroudsburg. It employs 5 employees and is generating approximately $730,000.00 in annual revenue.

Advertisers Drop Pretty Little Liars After Character Comes Out
Remax Realty and General Mills pulled their sponsorship.
After Shay Mitchell's character on Pretty Little Liars,
Emmy Emily Fields, revealed she was a lesbian (not the first on the show, mind you), the Florida Family Association (whose core mission can probably be summarized as: "Ahhh homosexuals, they are taking over the world!") launched a campaign targeting the show's advertisers. According to E! Online, Remax Realty and General Mills pulled their advertising soon after, though neither says the FFA's anti-smut drive was the reason. But considering that the show has maintained strong ratings — it was ranked fifth in the 18 to 49 audience bracket in last Tuesday's cable lineup — GM's claim that its decision was based on a change in the "relevance of the show's audience for our brands" rings a little hollow. Oh yeah, and there's a sort of incriminating e-mail from GM's director of consumer services to the FFA that reads: "We have investigated this matter and confirmed that our advertising did air as you have reported. We have informed ABC Family Channel and our agencies that Pretty Little Liars is not a program that we will sponsor. Thank you for bringing this to our attention." [E! Online]

``We were both kind of exploring the possibility,`` said Ramsay, the winningest active coach in the National Basketball Association, ``but I think we both decided it was something we didn`t want to pursue.``

Its quick, easy to make and healthy! The dish is also a favorite to shrimp lovers. It is not spicy, and quite soothing. It is usually eaten as an everyday dish with plain white rice.
No need to add any water because the gourd will release plenty of it.
The oil mentioned is too much. Ginger paste is enough. No need to add onion or garlic. But I loved the recipe. - 21 Mar 2017

"A groundbreaking firsthand anthropological and sociological examination of the lives of Osh Uzbeks in political, economic, societal, and religious contexts, bracketed by two traumatic episodes of Kyrgyz-Uzbek conflict in 1990 and 2010." —Transitions Online
"An urban portrait in miniature. It is at once a brilliant example of the capacity for immersive, long-term fieldwork to bring new light to enduring questions of urban conviviality, and a demonstration that subtle, multi-layered analysis can be rendered in clear and accessible prose. . . . An important and provocative book. It deserves to be widely read by scholars of the region, by students of contemporary urban politics, and by anthropologists exploring the intersections between space, embodiment and social imaginaries. Among its many virtues is its subtle and nuanced attention to language, getsure and tone. It is a beautifully crafted text and deserves to find a ready place in undergraduate and graduate courses on Central Asia."—Contemporary Islam
"Important for its perceptive interpretations and skillful experimentation with standard ethnographic tropes, and it confirms the unique contribution anthropology can make to the study of the former Soviet Union."—Slavic Review
"Well grounded ethnographic data come together in a convincing way with historical data. . . . The book is not only accessible to a broad student audience interested in Central Asia, but also to those Westerners who have little knowledge of Central Asia." —Europe-Asia Studies
"This is one of the best books yet published on any post-Soviet country in Central Asia. The overview of Kyrgyzstan's post-Soviet history is comprehensive, and the insightful social analysis helps the reader understand the entire region much better. The book's rich and vividly presented ethnographic evidence teaches us a lot about the texture of everyday life in Osh."—Laura Adams, Harvard University
"An ethnographic gem, resulting from impassioned and intellectually engaged scholarship. Liu took his time processing the fieldwork, and the insightful writing illuminates creatively framed ways of getting readers to think about how Central Asians understand their communities and places in the world. This book is must reading for anyone wanting a serious understanding of the Fergana Valley, given the ugly aftermath of the Soviet experience."—Russell Zanca, Northeastern Illinois University

(F) Ford Recalls Edge SUVs
Ford Motor Co. (F) plans to recall 5,500 units of midsized sports utility vehicles (SUVs), Edge, in order to fix their defective fuel lines that could potentially cause fire. The recall will cover the vehicles that are equipped with 2-liter engines and manufactured between September 2, 2010, and October 31, 2011.
Ford revealed that fuel lines in the 2012 model year vehicles could crack due to faulty manufacturing by a parts supplier. The crack could result in fuel leak, ultimately leading to fire.
As of now, Ford has received 12 reports of fuel leakage from the owners of Edge. However, none of them led to injuries or fires.
Ford will begin notifying the owners of the vehicles to take them to the nearest Ford or Lincoln dealer. If the problem is detected, the dealers will repair the vehicles free of cost. The recall would begin on September 24.
This is the fifth recall of Ford in about 2 months, 3 of them related to problems causing fire (including the latest recall of Edge). In July, the company had recalled 11,500 Escape SUVs for fixing fuel lines leak that can cause fires. In the same month, the company had said that it would recall 8,266 units of the SUV in order to fix their improperly installed carpet padding that could cause braking failures.
Apart from the redesigned version, Ford had also recalled the prior model of Escape in late July. The automaker had recalled 485,000 units of old Escapes in the month due to sticking gas pedals that can cause crashes.
At the beginning of this month, Ford also announced recall of 7,600 units of its recently launched Escape compact SUVs in order to fix coolant leaks that can cause engines to overheat and may lead to fire. The redesigned Escape SUVs are the company's second-best selling vehicle after F-Series trucks.
Automotive safety recalls were brought into focus by media after Toyota Motors' (TM) announcement of the largest-ever global recall of 3.8 million vehicles in September 2009, triggered by a high-speed crash that killed 4 members of a family.
Later on, a string of recalls has led Toyota to face numerous personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits in federal courts. The Transportation Department of U.S. also imposed a fine of $48.4 million on the company due to late recall of millions of defective vehicles.
Ford, a Zacks #3 Rank (Hold) stock, posted a 39% fall in profits of $1.20 billion or 30 cents per share in the second quarter of the year from $1.98 billion or 49 cents in the corresponding quarter of 2011 due to lower operating results in all the regions except North America. However, the company's profits were higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 28 cents per share.
Revenues in the quarter dipped 6% to $33.3 billion, due to the same factors mentioned above. However, it exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $32.0 billion. In the first half of the year, Ford's U.S. total market share was 15.4% in the U.S. and 8.1% in Europe.
For 2012, Ford anticipates market share in the U.S. and Europe to be lower than 16.5% and 8.3%, respectively in 2011. It also expects the overall pre-tax operating profit to be lower than 2011 compared with the prior guidance of tallying.

Our Firm is representing numerous women in this proceeding who allegedly suffered serious vaginal mesh complications due to Ethicon devices.
New York, New York (PRWEB) August 10, 2014
Transvaginal mesh lawsuits (http://www.transvaginalmeshlawsuithelp.com/) filed against Johnson & Johnson's Ethicon, Inc. unit continue to move forward in the federal litigation underway in U.S. District Court, Southern District of West Virginia, Bernstein Liebhard LLP reports. According to an Order issued on August 4, 2014, the Court will convene a pretrial conference for the litigation's second round of bellwether trials on August 13, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. The second bellwether trial will begin on August 25, 2014, with jury selection to begin on August 22nd. (In re: Ethicon, Inc., Pelvic Repair Systems Products Liability Litigation - MDL No. 2327)
"Our Firm is representing numerous women in this proceeding who suffered serious allegedly vaginal mesh complications due to Ethicon devices. We are looking forward to this bellwether trial, as its outcome may provide insight into how juries could rule in similar cases," says Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationwide law firm representing victims of defective drugs and medical devices. The Firm continues to investigate transvaginal mesh lawsuits on behalf of women who suffered serious injuries, allegedly due to products marketed by Ethicon and other manufacturers.
Transvaginal Mesh Litigation
Court documents indicate that nearly 20,000 transvaginal mesh lawsuits have been filed against Ethicon in the federal litigation, where Bernstein Liebhard LLP partner, Jeffrey S. Grand, is serving on the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee. All of the lawsuits claim that the company's pelvic mesh devices caused recipients to suffer serious vaginal mesh complications, including chronic pain, mesh erosion, and organ damage. Plaintiffs further allege that the devices were defectively designed and inadequately tested, and that Ethicon did not provide doctors and patients with appropriate warnings regarding their risks.
Mr. Grand is also a member of the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee for several other consolidated litigations underway in the Southern District of West Virginia, including those involving: American Medical Systems, Inc. (MDL No. 2325); Boston Scientific Corp., (MDL No. 2326); and C.R. Bard, Inc., (MDL No. 2187).
In addition to his work on the federal vaginal mesh litigations, Mr. Grand has also been appointed Co-Liaison Counsel in two proceedings involving Ethicon and C.R. Bard that are currently moving forward in New Jersey's Atlantic County Superior Court. He was a member of the Plaintiff's trial team for the first trial in the Ethicon proceeding, which ended in March 2013 with a jury awarding $11 million in compensatory and punitive damages to a woman who suffered vaginal mesh complications related to the Ethicon Gynecare Prolift device. ((In re: Pelvic Mesh/Gynecare Litigation, No. 6341-10; In re: Pelvic Mesh Litigation/Bard, No. L-6339-10)
According to court documents, the transvaginal mesh litigations pending in state and federal court have been building since October 2008, when the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) alerted the public to the serious risks associated with the devices. In July 2011, the agency issued a second alert after it received thousands of additional reports of injuries associated with transvaginal mesh. This past April, the FDA proposed reclassifying vaginal mesh used to treat pelvic organ prolapse as high-risk medical devices, which would subject the devices to greater regulatory scrutiny.
Alleged victims of serious vaginal mesh complications may be able to pursue their own legal claim against the manufacturer of their device.

Flowers by Lesley Frascogna of Tulip Floral
Camille McKinley and John Hensley began their lives together last September with a sweet Southern soirée. Both native Mississippians met at Ole Miss and the two tied the knot in Oxford. The ceremony was held at Paris Yates Chapel with a reception following at John's family farm, Woodland Farms. From Southern flowers to dining al fresco, bourbon, snow cones, soul music and more, the occasion was everything a Southern wedding should be.
Camille and John followed the Southern tradition of burying a bottle of bourbon to prevent rain on their wedding day. Perhaps it all paid off, as they only saw a tiny sprinkle before the festivities began.
A subtle color palette of dove grey and neutral tones was accented with pops of indigo blue. The bold color made an appearance in the chiffon bridesmaids' dresses by Jenny Yoo and silk and willow ribbon around the bride's show stopping bouquet by Lesley Frascogna of Tulip Floral.
"They wanted a laid-back yet elegant wedd- ing where their guests would leave talking about how fun of an evening it was," says wedding designer and planner Jessica Sloane of Nashville. "Having the reception out in the open, fresh air made all of that possible."
Friends and family were greeted at the farm by a bourbon and tequila tasting. Guests enjoyed sipping on libations and each other's company around a custom corn hole set by Bonnie Dickerson of Southern Sprout. "The Southern dinner was served buffet style with intention to get people to mix and mingle," says Jessica. The rustic setting, topped off with farm tables and cross back chairs, allowed for what felt like a real family gathering. Rough linen fabric was accented with gold and brass candlesticks and compotes.
Camille surprised John with a snow cone bar, his favorite summer treat. The evening was topped off with an extensive selection of late night cigars smoked around a roaring bonfire.
Guests danced the night away and welcomed Camille and John on their new journey to the tunes of Memphis Soul Revue. Rumor has it that we know how to "do" weddings in the South and this magical night under the stars is what Southern weddings are all about.

EHI: Ecological Studies and Human Impact
EHI 310: Restoration Ecology
A study of the rationale, principles, practices, and legal, social, economic, and ethical issues associated with restoring the structure and function of degraded ecological systems. Restoration ecology draws heavily from ecological theory, and the process of restoring a site can in fact provide unique experimental opportunities to test how well ecological theories predict the responses of natural systems. Important ecological concepts applied in restoration include disturbances, succession, fragmentation, system function, as well as, emerging areas such as assembly theory and alternative stable states.
Prerequisite: MAT 125 or MAT 131; BIO 201
3 credits
EHI 311: Ecosystem Based Management
Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) is an emerging management paradigm for balancing ecosystem health and human activities. EBM stresses that management must 1) integrate ecological, social, economic, and institutional views, 2) produce sustainable results, 3) consider uncertainty and risks in making management decisions, and 4) utilize adaptive management practices. This course will examine these principles and identify ways they may be put into practice.
Prerequisite: SBC 111 or ENS 101; BIO 201
3 credits
EHI 321: Human Reproductive Ecology
Course builds on behavioral ecology to focus on why humans make the reproductive choices they do and examines cross cultural and individual differences in fertility, mortality and population growth. Course is organized around current debates in physiological, behavioral, and social aspects of human reproduction. A background in reproductive ecology allows students to think empirically about the demographic component of human/environment interactions, and to better model sustainable futures.
Prerequisite: BIO 201; SBC 115 or SBC 204
3 credits
EHI 322: Human Ecology
Human ecology investigates how humans and human societies interact with nature and with their environment. Course first introduces the concepts and methods of human ecology. Following this foundation, the course will give special emphasis to empirical examples, case studies and lessons from history. The course will focus on individuals, communities and traditional societies. Human Ecology compliments Human Geography, which studies patterning at the larger scale.
Prerequisite: SBC 116 or ANT 102; BIO 201
3 credits
EHI 326 - E: Conservation Genetics
This course is an introduction to genetics taught in the context of conservation. The course will cover a basic introduction to Mendelian, molecular, population, evolutionary and meta-population genetics, and then examine specific applications of these concepts to topics in conservation biology.
Prerequisite: MAT 125 or MAT 131; BIO 201
3 credits
EHI 340 - H: Ecological and Social Dimensions of Disease
The ecology and evolutionary biology of disease will be examined to provide a more general context for human diseases. Pathogens may have large effects on many different types of organisms, from bacteria to plants to humans. We will build on this biological background to examine the social dimensions of disease in human populations and societies, including historical, political and economic aspects to issues of money, power, sexuality, international development and globalization. Specific case studies (the chestnut blight in North America, AIDS in Africa, etc.) will be used to examine concepts and principles in detail in a real-world context. This course will investigate basic fundamentals and recent research on these issues in a unified framework.
Prerequisite: BlO 201
3 credits
EHI 342 - H: Materials in the Natural and Human World
Course explores in depth the origin, composition, use, bioavailability, mobility, persistence, and fate of selected materials and chemical compounds. Compounds or materials, such as DDT, aldicarb, freon, plastics, organotin, nuclear fuel, antibiotics, and carbon nanotubes, are used to illustrate how man-made substances once released into the environment can lead to environmental degradation, ecological degradation, and/or public health issues.
Prerequisite: ENV 115 or CHE 131; BIO 201
3 credits
EHI 343 - H: Sustainable Natural Resources
This course explores in depth the economic viability, social acceptance, and potential of sustainable natural resources to replace non-renewable resources. Examples are drawn from water resource management, agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and renewable energy resources (wind, solar, biofuel, etc..). There is particular emphasis on examples of integrated, participatory and sustainable natural resources management project in less developed countries.
Prerequisite: SBC 111 or ENS 101; ENV 115 or CHE 131; BIO 201
3 credits
EHI 487: Research in Ecosystems and Human Impact
Qualified advanced undergraduates may carry out individual research projects under the direct supervision of a faculty member. May be repeated.
1-6 credits, S/U grading

IT'S pretty hard to make a dull movie about Henry VIII and his complicated love life, but "The Other Boleyn Girl," a failed Oscar contender, man ages to do just that, with yawns to spare.
In this unsexy and not particularly good-looking adaptation of a historical potboiler by Philippa Gregory, Henry (Eric Bana) is alternately bewitched by sisters Anne and Mary Boleyn, who are being pimped out as potential mistresses by their ambitious father (Mark Rylance) and uncle (David Morrissey).
Henry is still married to his first wife (and his brother's widow), the Spanish Catherine of Aragon (the very good Ana Torrent), who is having difficulty producing a male heir. Meanwhile, Anne Boleyn (Natalie Portman) fails her first mistress interview by showing up Henry with her riding skills (which, strangely, takes place off-screen).
The king prefers Anne's less headstrong younger sister, Mary (Scarlett Johansson). With the enthusiastic consent of Mary's husband and father – and the disapproval of her mother (Kristin Scott-Thomas) – Mary is installed as the king's mistress du jour and the queen's lady-in-waiting, while Anne is exiled to France and the rest of the family gets rich.
But Henry becomes bored after Mary becomes pregnant with his child – the future Queen Elizabeth I – and dad sends for Anne to fill in, which doesn't do a whole lot for the sisters' relationship.
The fickle Henry becomes instantly infatuated with Anne, who in this version won't sleep with the king until he divorces Catherine, banishes Mary, and breaks with the Roman Catholic Church.
This soap opera includes many risible plot twists, most notably the newly enthroned Anne trying to sleep with her possibly gay brother (Jim Sturgess) to cover up a royal miscarriage – an act that lands both of their heads on the chopping block.
It's all remarkably superficial bordering on silly, despite a script by Peter Morgan ("The Queen") and direction by Justin Chadwick, making his feature debut after helming the acclaimed TV adaptation of "Bleak House."
Among other problems, neither Johansson (who will, unfortunately, be portraying Elizabeth I's cousin in "Mary Queen of Scots") nor Portman are especially convincing as 16th-century Brits (who each throw many hissy fits) in "The Other Boleyn Girl."
As for Bana (the Australian star of "The Hulk"), the sexy Henry of TV's "The Tudors," Jonathan Rhys Meyers, can rest easy on his throne.
Off with their heads.
Running time: 115 minutes. Rated PG- 13 (sex, violence). At the Empire, the Lincoln Square, the Battery Park City, others.

Hyun Bin and Han Ji Min couple up in Jekyll and I photo
Hyde, Jekyll and I has a new name and photo!
The upcoming SBS series Jekyll and I is set to hit small screens next month. Yesterday, the very first photo of the main stars in action was released to the public
In the photo, Hyun Bin's cold Hyde personality is apparent as Han Ji Min excitedly pulls him along. The two seem to be taking a stroll during a chilly winter day. Hyun Bin's icy demeanor makes the temperature drop even more.
Jekyll and I is about a director of a theme park (Hyun Bin) with split personalities. His personalities are divided between being Koo Seo-Jin and Robin. Circus master and actress Jang Ha Na (Han) reorganizes her section of the theme park to avoid being terminated by the cold Seo Jin. Of course, the two fall in love as the story unfolds. The drama is directed by Jo Yeong-gwang and written by Kim Jee-woon. It also stars Sung Joon, Kim Do Yun and Han Sang Jin.
What do you think about the first photo on two in character? Are you looking forward to watching this series?

It's been a while since I posted. It isn't that I forgot about or abandoned this blog. I've been wanting to post for some time now. But I knew the next post had to be the big reveal on what the diet is. I wanted to get it right. But I came to realize after 2 weeks of stalling that it will never get done if I don't just take a stab at it. I accepted that this won't be the 100% primer for this diet (or shall I say "lifestyle" since a diet might imply that it is a temporary change) and I may miss some very important points along the way, but the good thing about a blog is I can dive into the fine details in individual posts. So if you have questions, ask them in the comments and I'll either answer them there, in a series of blog posts, or both.
Anyways, if you want to know the science, read all the sections. It is a very long post (probably will be my longest ever) but I encourage you to understand it all and empower yourself (otherwise you may just be seen as someone following another "fad diet"). Otherwise, skip to the bottom to read what my diet consists of. But make sure you come back and read all the sciencey stuff later!

- Return to study in Spring & Summer 2019: deadline to appeal is April 1, 2019 @11:59 pm
The Undergraduate Student Office, College of Arts and Science is currently reviewing this website. Students within the College of Arts and Science will now be required to submit requests for appeals to our online submission form at https://artsandscience.usask.ca/workflow/student_appeal.php. If you have any questions, please call our office at 306-966-4231 or email email@example.com.
Faculty actions and student appeals
Students in the College of Arts & Science must satisfy promotion and graduation standards in order to successfully complete their program requirements and convocate with their selected degree.
Occasionally, students are faced with a faculty action during their studies. Academic advisors work with students to help them understand what a faculty action means for them. Advisors also provide insight into the various appeal processes available to the student.
- If you are required to discontinue…
- Student appeals for faculty actions and requests for retroactive withdrawals
- Student appeals and rereads of assignments or exams
- University level appeals
If you are required to discontinue
When a student is required to discontinue (RTD), it means their grades are below promotion standards and they are subject to faculty action in which case they are either placed on probation or they are required to discontinue.
The College of Arts & Science Undergraduate Student Office (UGSO) reviews student grades in February and May each year. Upon review in February, if a student's grades are low and they appear to be at risk of falling below promotion standards, they will receive a 'warning' email alerting them to their academic standing. When grades are reviewed in May there are three possible outcomes for the student:
- promotion to the next year of study, OR
- probation for one year with a reduced course load of 24 cu maximum, OR
- the student is required to discontinue from their studies for one year
The table below outlines the grades required for promotion and the grades associated with faculty actions. As a student progresses in his/her program, promotion standard requirements increase.
Credit Units
|Required to Discontinue
|18 - 30
|55.99 – 50.00%
|49.99% and below
|31 - 60
|57.99 – 54.00%
|53.99% and below
|61 and above
|59.99 – 58.00%
|57.99% and below
If you receive an email indicating that you have been placed on probation or that you have been required to discontinue, contact the Undergraduate Student Office, ARTS 265 and schedule an appointment with an academic advisor to review your grades and discuss your situation.
If you have experienced an extenuating circumstance that has resulted in your low academic performance, you may be eligible to appeal the faculty action.
Student appeals for faculty actions and requests for retroactive withdrawals
If a student experiences extenuating circumstances that negatively impact their academic success, they can submit an appeal to the Academic Appeals Committee in the College of Arts & Science to request:
- retroactive withdrawals
- removal of Required to Discontinue status in exchange for probation status
Examples of extenuating circumstances:
- Death in the family and/or family emergency
- Personal health issues
- Personal barriers (emotional, mental, social, physical)
- Undiagnosed learning challenges
- Criminal / legal emergency
The Academic Appeals Committee in the College of Arts & Science is an internal committee comprised of academic advisors from the Undergraduate Student Office. The content of student appeals is understood to be confidential information.
What should students include in an appeal letter?
- Name, student # and contact information
- What are you requesting?
- retroactive withdrawals from courses or exchange of RTD status for probation status or a combination?
- What courses and/or terms are included in your request?
- Indicate the academic year and term request is being submitted for
- Include specific course numbers for individual courses included
- Description of extenuating circumstance
- Include enough detail so the committee understands your situation without divulging too much personal information that you are uncomfortable providing
- Strategy for success in moving forward
- Include information regarding steps you have taken/will take to improve your situation so you may succeed in the future
- This may include: visits with an advisor, a counselor, a medical professional; registration with Disability Student Services; tutoring, study skills workshops, retakes, lighter course load; and/or time off from school
- Supporting document(s)
- Include documentation to support the explanation you have provided about your extenuating circumstance
- This may include a letter from your counselor, doctor, professor, religious institution, DSS and/or a copy of an obituary
Student appeals and re-reads of assignments and exams
Academic advisors in the Undergraduate Student Office are not involved with student appeals and re-reads of assignments and exams. Appeals of this nature are managed at the departmental and/or College level and they include informal and formal requests. Information on re-reads is included in this section in order to distinguish between the different appeals processes available to students and the procedures associated with each.
If a student has concerns with how their instructor has marked their exam, essay or other work, they are encouraged to informally contact the instructors(s) responsible for the evaluation before seeking a review under formal procedures.
This informal consultation should take place as soon as possible, but no later than 30 days after the instructor makes the grades available to the students in the class.
If the student is not satisfied with the outcome of the informal consultation, they can initiate a formal re-assessment request by completing the Request for and Report of Re-assessment Form. The completed form must be submitted to the Department Head within 30 daysfrom the time the student receives their informal assessment results from the instructor.
The result of a re-reading procedure initiated by the re-assessment form is final; there is no further appeal at the departmental level.
If, after the formal assessment, the student believes the academic outcome may have been affected by other factors, they may appeal the decision at the college level. In this case, they must submit a written statement and a request for review to the dean or provost of the College of Arts & Science within 30 days from the date they were informed of the departmental decision. Upon review, the dean or provost informs the student and the original instructor in writing as to the outcome of the investigation.

University-level appeals
Information on the University Level Appeal is included in this section in order to distinguish between the different appeals processes available to the student and the procedures associated with each. Academic advisors in the Undergraduate Student Office are not involved with University level appeals.
In the case of a serious grievance in which the student alleges discriminatory treatment, harassment, or failure to follow university policy and procedures, the University level appeal is available to address these issues.
The University Level Appeal must be submitted within 30 days from the time the student is informed of the college-level decision. The student must complete and submit the University-Level Appeal Form to the university secretary, the dean of the college in which the situation occurred, the faculty member responsible for the course to which the allegation relates, and the dean of the College of Arts & Science.
This appeal is not designed to result in a change of grade, but to address issues surrounding the situation in question. However, in many cases, special considerations will be granted if a student's academic standing has been compromised.

Lamar Cos., doesn't own any real estate in Mississippi, Alabama, Texas or Louisiana. Yet there they were, one of the few developers with a booth at ICSC's Gulf South show held in late February in New Orleans. The Morristown, N.J., company was frank about its mission: It had come to find distressed assets it could profitably turn around.
Lamar, like Equity One Inc., seem eager to get their square feet on the ground in the areas most affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Both companies' presence at the show was in stark contrast to developers better known for their presence in the region. Although professionals from General Growth Properties, Stirling Properties and Jim Wilson & Associates were in attendance, none opted to set up booths in the Dealmaking session, which itself was only open a brief two hours. In fact, the bulk of the properties on display were those in the broader Gulf States, primarily in regions unaffected by the killer storms.
The picture underscored the deep uncertainty surrounding redevelopment of the most affected areas. Developers are taking a wait-and-see approach.
"Everyone wants to develop," said Lewis Stirling III, executive vice president and partner with Stirling Properties, at the conference. "But projects take 12 months, which means you have to go in and out of two hurricane seasons before you even open. … To come back, it requires answering the insurance questions first."
Developers and insurers are waiting for FEMA to publish updated flood maps of New Orleans, which aren't due until June. (FEMA recently printed updated maps for Mississippi.) The specificity of the flood maps remain a big factor in how insurance claims will be interpreted. Premiums have skyrocketed in the wake of Katrina (much as they did after September 11). No developer wants to commit to building or rebuilding until they know where their project lies on the new flood maps, since the location will greatly impact premiums.
"The issue is what are the elevations that should be built to?" said Michael Olivier, secretary of Louisiana Economic Development. "We haven't determined that. People are coming back within a 75-mile radius now. … But we don't know what the population of New Orleans will ultimately be."
Developers are also waiting to see just how juicy the incentives will be as Louisiana figures out how to dole out the more than $10 billion in federal money it has lined up through the Gulf Opportunity Zone (or GO Zone) and other programs.
So far on offer: Developers will be eligible for their choice of tax credits for job creation or they can take advantage of 50 percent bonus depreciation. Experts expect developers to largely opt for the latter. It will enable owners to immediately write-off much of the value of their property, resulting in reduced property taxes. The program is similar to the one offered to owners in downtown New York City after September 11, only here the benefits are even larger.
In the mean time, developers and retailers are adjusting to the new reality in New Orleans. The population in the metropolitan area has dropped by between 300,000 and 400,000. And many of the residents that have returned to work don't live in Orleans parish any longer.
St. Tammany Parish, to the north, has seen its population rise to 300,000 from 200,000 pre-Katrina. The 50 percent jump is what the parish had projected for its 10-year growth plan. Instead, it's had to absorb that many residents in less than six months. The demographic shift has upped car counts on roads leading into New Orleans by 90,000 autos a day, creating traffic jams and long commutes where none existed before.
With this as the backdrop, developers are largely sitting on the fence. If people don't return as full-time residents, development will move outward, along the interstates rather than return to the city's core.
For example, Colonial Properties is moving ahead with its planned 1.1 million-square-foot Pinnacle Nord Du Lac in Covington, La. — just north of New Orleans — which is scheduled to open in fall 2007.

Nude figures are a visual testimony to society's changing views, both in terms of what is considered beautiful and what is morally acceptable.
Ten years ago, painting nudes in Taiwan was only permitted in university fine-arts classes, and finding a model was nearly impossible. Now, figure studies are popular community classes, and while far from being considered a viable occupation by the majority, plenty of men and women are willing to get naked for a living.
"Since I started [10 years ago], there are more and more women and even men looking for modeling jobs. If they can't find a job with our company they advertise their services at various private studios in Taipei," said Jan Huei-ling (
Jan is a member of Figure Art Studio, the only nude modeling company in Taiwan. The studio acts as an agency for about 20 models. If an artist or an instructor is looking for a model they contact the studio, which then calls Jan. A model is paid NT$2,000 for 3 hours work, earning between NT$15,000 to NT$30,000 a month, depending on how much he or she wants to work. Although it employs five men, women remain the more popular art subjects, said Lai Ni-hua (
Sixteen years ago, Jan established her theater company, Critical Point Theater Phenomenon, but after five years of struggling to pay the bills she took up modeling on the advice of a friend. "I needed money to pay the rent on my theater, but I also needed a job that was flexible with time. And I wanted it to be interesting," she said.
Nude models are no longer spoken of in hushed tones, yet those like Jan who reveal their naked bodies and dare to enjoy it, still meet with opposition from friends and family.
"About 80 percent of Taiwan thinks this job is low-class work and something only bad girls do. Every day my mother says, `you shouldn't do this job.' I've always been a little rebellious. But mostly, I am an actress and I enjoy being watched," she said.
Although she has no qualms about baring her body to a class of 50, her husband wasn't always so receptive to the idea. In the beginning he accompanied her to the studio every day. He grew to accept it and no longer attends the classes. Her four-year-old son, however, now joins her on occasion.
Jan modeled throughout her pregnancy, and would even do sketch classes while breast-feeding, she said.
She's come a long way since her first stint at a university oil painting class. "Jan is quite enthusiastic and one of the most popular models in the city. She is lucky, because even at 39, she looks young," Lai said.
Jan's sense of self-confidence is what makes artists want to paint her, she said. In turn, the experience of being painted has given her more confidence.
"This job helped me build my self-confidence. In the beginning I was a little shy but the artists were so receptive and now they think I am powerful because I inspire them," she said.
She couldn't anticipate any reasons why she would quit her job. Apart from the slightly boring three-hour poses and being cold in winter, she loves what she does.
"Even when I am old and my body is old, I won't stop. I will be a different kind of model, because there are no old models in Taiwan, so I can be the first," she said.
The part-time job has also become a valuable source of research for Jan, who said she is interested in exploring the relationship between body and performance art.

(RTN) Raytheon Gets U.S. Air Force Contract
Raytheon Company (RTN) has entered into an agreement, worth $8.7 million, with the U.S. Air Force for contributing its technical expertise to develop the future protected tactical military satellite communication system. The company's Network Centric Systems ("NCS") segment will take responsibility for this project.
Per the contract, Raytheon will design and display affordable terminal constituents, and support for waveform advancement under the Air Force's Advanced Extremely High Frequency ("AEHF") systems.
The AEHF satellites offer the U.S. armed forces with larger bandwidth to transfer battlefield data in a reliable manner. The AEHF terminals instantly link the U.S. president with his most senior military advisers across the world.
Currently, the U.S. armed forces intend to recognize the cost-effective architectures and module development paths for its future satellite communication ("SATCOM") systems. Moreover, The Boeing Company (BA), L-3 Communications Holdings Inc. (LLL) and other defense industry majors actively contribute their domain skills for this project.
During third-quarter 2012 earnings call, Raytheon's NCS segment reported a total backlog of approximately $4 billion compared with $4.5 billion in the year-ago quarter. Despite a dip in backlog, this segment continues to receive national as well as international contracts. In the last few days, the company received an order from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to provide a Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence ("C4I") system and another contract, worth $51 million, from the U.S. Army to manufacture more airborne radios and continue to upgrade future radios.
We view Raytheon as one of the best-positioned companies among the large defense players due to its non-platform-centric focus, as well as its strong order bookings of $18.6 billion and order backlog of approximately $35 billion at the end of the first nine months of 2012. Future growth will be driven by its focus on ISR unmanned systems, training, cyber security, Standard Missile-6, Patriot, Zumwalt and THAAD.
However, these positives may to some extent mitigate by factors like fate of high-cost programs related to apprehensions over rise in future U.S. defense budget cut backs, and risks associated with delay in key project executions and order cancellations.
Waltham, Massachusetts-based Raytheon Company is a technology and innovation leader specializing in defense, homeland security and other government markets throughout the world. With a market capitalization of $18.75 billion, the company has 71,000 full-time employees. Raytheon currently retains a Zacks #3 Rank, which translates into a short-term Hold rating.

Was there even a cause too lost,
Ever a cause that was lost too long,
Or that showed with the lapse of time to vain
For the generous tears of youth and song?
