The practice of research in the Ron and Jane Graham School of Professional Development, College of Engineering reflects the School's roots in the field of rhetorical communication. The study of rhetoric, defined as the theory and practice of persuasion, represents a tradition of problem-solving through language which goes back over 2000 years, and continues to evolve in response to the challenges of modernity, including technological advances in an increasingly globalized world.
SOPD faculty are committed to investigating how the humanist traditions of rhetoric can help us understand and enhance the role of communication in improving professional practice beyond its technical dimensions. Research into rhetoric and communication situates knowledge in the context of identity formation and the building of communities through how we talk about professional life and citizenship.
Faculty members are conducting research in a diverse range of fields including: pedagogy in professional education; public discourses such as advertising, media, public memory, and leadership; textual studies in the western cultural and rhetorical tradition; and cross-cultural rhetoric and communication theory and practice. This research is critical, not only to maintaining breadth and relevance in our teaching and curriculum development, but also to establishing the School's national and international reputation as a leader in the study of professional development.

Yesterday the Swedish Church in Sydney held their annual Christmas Bazaar. James and Yoda study Swedish at the cafe located next to the Swedish church and naturally wanted to check out the bazaar. I was asked to tag along but was stuck waiting for a Woolies Homeshop order to arrive before I could jump in the shower and head into town.
I eventually arrived at the Christmas Bazaar about an hour late but stil in plenty of time to see everything. It's a micro-bazaar and I couldn't help but think how much bigger and better it could be with a bit of proper management and publicity behind it. Still, not to say we didn't have a good time – we did – just that I kept envisioning how much better it could be with me running things behind the scenes 😉
The Bazaar is held in a closed-off lane behind the church. It's a strange location and many passers-by were quite bemused when they saw the banner and the activity as they walked by the normally obscure little lane off Elizabeth Street.
Yoda and James bought raffle tickets and both won! SAS airline glasses which looked like they were from the 70s – tres cool! And a selection of Swedish language books including a songbook for Ållsang På Skansen. Both were happy with their prizes.
Afterwards we retired to a couple of local pubs to get out of the heat and have a few refreshing beverages!
Here's a gallery of photos I took at the bazaar. They're shown small on this page but they're really quite large shots – you can click on them to see much bigger versions.

In January of last year I made a resolution to devote more thoughtful, intentional time with Mr. Collier. I aimed to do this by saying,"NO" to unnecessary obligations and evaluating where I spent my time. We also started our weekly breakfast dates as a way to connect with one another each week. I love that time. It is our special time together.
I love the idea of setting goals and when Amberly developed the monthly marriage goals link-up, I seriously couldn't turn it down. She is such a sweet friend and the way she shares her marriage is constantly encouraging.
For my first marriage goal of 2014, I am focusing in on the 5 Love Languages. Amberly and I are hosting the Meaningful Marriage Book Study throughout the entire month so I feel like completing this task will be a good goal. We just started to book on January 1st and there is always time to jump right in!
I took the initial assessment and learned that my primary love languages are words of affirmation and receiving gifts. The idea is that everyone has a different set of love languages that often segregate into five main categories: receiving gifts, words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch and acts of serve. The way we receive and express love are often different from our partner's which can cause some conflicts in marriage. Through the study of the 5 Love Languages, I hope to learn Mr. Collier's love language and make an effort to express my love to him in his own language. Pretty cool stuff!
January is also a very special month to us because our wedding anniversary is coming up. I can't believe two years has already gone by. On one hand it feels like no time at all and on the other hand I feel like I was never without him. We are such a part of each other's lives and families. Such a blessing!

Despite much public debate (and dare I say 'hype') around negative gearing it may be a worthwhile exercise for some. Did you know that despite the common misconception that this is for the 'wealthy', 56%* of the Australians that take advantage of negative gearing, earn $80,000 and under ?
So before you take someone's advice at a BBQ , or maybe you just want to get a basic handle on it, read on…..
Chances are that if you want to buy an investment property you will be borrowing to do it. We know that Banks being the commercial enterprises they are will charge you interest on the amount you borrow. You are also going to have associated costs with owning the property.
All of this adds up to the ongoing costs of holding your investment.
Quite simply if the expenses** for holding your property are greater than the income (rent) received, the property is deemed to be 'negatively geared'.
You don't have to be Einstein to work out that effectively, this means the property is making a loss. That 'loss' may then be able to be used to reduce your taxable income.
Here's a basic example:
Whilst only slightly, the property is making a loss of $1,190 per year. This amount plus any other allowable expenses, is what could be used to reduce your tax bill.
Now, as with any investment, there are benefits and downsides. Remember that loss – has to be actually paid for (by you). It always makes sense to look at what this would mean for you with your income, rather than ever taking someone's word for it.
Always, always check with your accountant and/or advisor or at the very leastsomeone independent of the property purchase on how any individual property relates to your situation.
For further general information head to ASIC's MoneySmart site. Or if your question relates to borrowing you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Being involved and giving back to my community is very important to me.
My husband, John and I married in 1967 and moved to 201 Elm Street where I still reside. Raised two children, Susan (Justin) Simmons who lives in Greenwood and Stephen who lives in St. Petersburg, Florida with traditional family values – honesty, hard work, concern for and helping others! Member and attend Greenwood First Baptist Church. Worked 24 years at Ernst & Young LLP before retiring in 1998. Graduate of Greenwood Police Department's first Citizens Police Academy. In free time I enjoy restoring (finished 31 pickup last year) and traveling in Model A Fords.
I felt both honored and blessed to have been selected to fill the remaining three years of John's term when he lost his battle with the cancer beast. I am proud to be your representative for the last 7 years. It is imperative we keep the needs of our district known and being considered when decisions are being made. I stand committed to continue meeting the needs of our District with effective, efficient government and common sense spending!
Co-founder of "Flags for Greenwood"
With the support and efforts of the community "Flags for Greenwood" a 501(c)(3) has collected funds to expand the initial 250 "Avenue of Flags" to over 900 American flags. They so gallantly wave and remind us of the heroic efforts of those that have fought for our freedom patriotically flying on utility poles along our city streets. The decision was made by John and I not to ask for city funding but to solicit funds from our community since its inception in 1996. The response has been overwhelming and shows the great community PRIDE!
Volunteer significant hours annually to assist in planning and working annual "Miles for Myeloma" (M4M) event to raise funds for research and better treatment options for multiple myeloma cancer patients. Drive lead SAG vehicle, help identify route and secure police escorts in high traffic areas so our athletes can safely bicycle throughout Indiana.
The athletes have ridden more than 2000 miles and approaching $2.75 million since inception in 2005. Their research has helped win approval of new drugs, developed methods to alleviate debilitating symptoms and now the average patients are living more than seven years after diagnosis.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling in our Model A Fords. Recently finished restoration of a 1931 Model A Pickup and have a 1931 Model A Delivery Sedan near completion.
Other accomplishments include the creation and organization of a Crime Watch Program for three neighborhoods within my council district in 1993. I have served as a consultant to two other crime watch groups and will be helping start another group in March. In 1997, our family went door-to-door obtaining signatures to reopen the bridge on County Line when it was reduced to one lane of traffic for several months.
Two major issues that are important to keep moving forward this next year are the Old Town Façade project, long term strategy designed to encourage economic development and upgrading the standards in our building codes. We need to update and increase the requirements of exterior appearances and adopt higher standards the same as other communities have done. We should no longer be satisfied with gas stations having metal post from the canopy to the ground. Our city should be requiring higher standards as well.
As you councilwoman it is my duty to make sure the city sets realistic goals and priorities. Three top priorities are continued supporting police and fire, repair or replacing sidewalks and paving deteriorating streets.
We must keep a lid on the cost of our city government by continuing within a responsible and conservative budget. Our city tax rate went from $0.6962 in 2013 to $0.6609 per $100 of assess valuation in 2014.
I understand you expect the city to operate a frugal, competent, effective and honest government without reducing services. An effective councilperson must have an understanding of all city departments in order to make prudent decisions at budget time. I have the experience to deal with the problems facing one of the fastest growing cities in our state.
I am proud of my accomplishments, I am conservative and demand honesty. I don't mind asking the hard questions so the right decisions can be made. I have fought for what I believe in and stand for what's best for the people in my District. I have demonstrated a reputation to be fair yet compassionate – but a firm problem solver. Integrity matters even when it may not be the "politically correct" thing to do!
Our city infrastructure and services have grown significantly over the years. It's imperative to have visions for the city yet be very frugal. We must continue to manage and maintain our existing infrastructure. The city budget must be managed the very same as one's own personal budget.
Controlled economic development is essential in order to maintain a reasonable tax base which in essence supports our budget needs. Sound commercial growth is economically necessary as it does not impact our student population creating need for expensive new schools. Elected city officials have no control over the public school budgets or school tax rates.
I attend at least 85% of the following meetings:
Redevelopment Commission
Economic Development
Board of Aviation Commissioners
I attend the Old Town Greenwood Revitalization meetings and support the FACADE grant of $40,000. This grant allowed us to hire a firm to do renditions of how the former facades looked in the immediate downtown area. Involved in the effort to obtain $400,000 grant to begin redoing facades along Main & Madison Avenue.
I am also a member of ASPIRE Johnson County and attend most all of their monthly large group meetings as well as being a member of the Talent Group. Aspire Johnson County is a county-wide initiative focusing on a goal of making Johnson County a true destination to live, work and play. The Talent Retention Team is working to attract and retain qualified people who want to live, work and play in our communities.

Question about T-Mobile Dash Smartphone
My dash Phone after a good 10 months of having it, suddenly turns off out of no where, turns off when on a call, when there is no reception or when one of the battery bars gets exhausted. I have already recived a replacement dash phone and i was planing to buy a battery but reading through all these comments i am thinking twice to do so.
Please any advice will be well appreciated.
Posted by Chicoleta on
same problemo
i just got this dash phone of my friend and it keeps shutting off alot why is that ? can someone help me please ?
My T-Mobile Dash also turns off.
The battery life is fine however it just shuts down.
I Also got a replacement and i still have the same problem.....i mean why doesn't tmobile discontinue this product it is disfunctional.......after 10 months is defective......I think all tmobile customers who have purchased the tmobile Dash phone should get an exchange for a different smartphone......
my dash does the same thing
Exactly the same issue. It might be 10 minutes or 2 hours after unplugging it, and it will just turn off. Turn it back on, the battery shows at 4 bars, then it just turns off again. Really irritating, not sure if I should get a new battery or just give up and buy a different phone. Oh, this phone is about 14 months old.
I have the exact same problem and my warranty is over too... I ordered a new battery hopefully that will help... T mobile was no help in handling or resolving the issue. I have 3 friends with the phone that have the same issue.... when it is working i love the phone... I will try to remember to log in and let you know if the new battery helps
I have mine for about 15 months and it just started doing it the other day. It's really not shutting down because the light blinks, but you can't do anything or receive calls. T-Mobile says it's the battery, but I'm not sure. My battery strength is full when it happens. T-Mobile also gave me the standard line about resetting the phone to the factory defaults.
I also stopped get a ringtone on my reminders, another common problem.
i also have the same problem, about 10 months after i got it. i just ordered another phone (under warranty) and if that doesn't help i will get a new battery. A WORD TO THOSE GETTING BATTERIES FOR CHEAP: make sure to purchase a battery with the exact same specifications as the one the phone came with. I ruined another phone by using an after market battery from eBay. it was 12 bucks and came with two chargers! NOT WORTH IT! the battery was kaput in 8months and the chargers were faulty! my phone was too, soon after the battery went again...
the layout on the screen needs to be replaced but i do not know how to do this because i push start and nothing comes up
can you help me.
thank you
deborah ghazzawi
I thought it was something with my settings. This started about a month ago. I have reset my phone with no success, I am still having the same issue too.
I am also having the exact same problem...I have had my phone for not quite a year yet...I have exchanged my phone once and have only had the new phone for a little over a week and it is still doing the same thing...T-Mobile is sending me another phone and told me that if I have problems with the new one, they will send me a different model altogether...
I am on my third Dash and all three have had the same problem.
my dash does the same exact thing. i dont understand!
I bought a barely used Dash off of my friend which continually needed to be rebooted. Then after I broke that I got another used one (in worse shape) off of my friend. This one not only needed to update on a consistent basis it shuts off on me frequently even when it has a full charge. After reading this blog it looks like I'll try to use the battery from my old phone (as long as it's not too damaged) but if that doesn't work I don't think I'll be using the dash again. TMOBILE SUCKS
Hi this is about my T-Mobile Dash it was perfectly working fine for almost a year but since this march 2008 and this is the 3rd replacement form t mobile and I have tried with the new battery before replacing the phone. but still it dosent matter. i have stopped asking for the replacement form T-Mobile because it dosent solve the problem, i have read some forums that it may be the battery problem, but i tried thaat too or is it possible i got an bad battery. the phone simply turns off when i am on the phone or even start the web than after 5-6 minutes i need to restart it or plug the charger in it. should i try with another battery or is there a solution for this. thanks in advance if some can help
I'm having multiple problems with my dash. It has already been replaced for he alarm issue and now it just shuts off even when the battery appears to be fully charged. I spoke to Tmobile several times and their response to my defected phone is that they no longer replace them for the alarm issue and that I just buy a new battery. I have bought a new battery and the problem still exists where the phone just shuts off. Their response to that is that they will give me a discount on a new dash and I must renew my contract with them. Lovely - Tmobile sucks!
Same problem of phone shutting off even after fully charging. I have also purchased a new battery and continue to have the same issue.
A whiz at my local T-Mobile store by the name of Noura took a look at my batter and noticed right away that something wasn't right... It is a little warped/bubbled up on the flat surfaces. You can tell if you lay the battery flat on a table and it wobbles when you touch it - like an unbalanced table or chair does when it is unbalanced. She said this is a sign that the battery has reached its maximum life and occurs when it has been over-charged.

Same problem for me. I found that if I hold it with my thumb over the screen and my fingers on the back, raise it above my head approx 18 inches, then forcefully thrust it over the edge of the building you are on whilst letting go at the same time, it shatters on the ground and you can feel good when you go buy a different phone (changing carriers and getting an iPhone offers the best results in this method)!
Posted on Aug 04, 2011
I have found, although against normal process, that if I unplug the battery every so often while the phone is ON that this doesn't happen nearly as often. I've also placed too tiny things behind the battery that pushes the battery into the contacts which creates a nice tight battery fit.
I say "things" because you can use whatever you see fit. Pardon the pun
I find that my phone may shut off once a week whereas it used to shut off about 10 times a day

The T-mobile Dash and the Wing are 2 piece of **** phones produce by T-mobile.I had a wind for about 6 months before it start freezing ,then suddenly 1 day the touch screen stop.i bought a Dash had that for 2 weeks before that stop powering on.I will never recomend them.
Posted on May 13, 2008
I noticed the battery warpage when the phone started power off/on.
i almost always have my phone on the charger, because if using wifi the battery is dead within 30 minutes. guess if this factory default doesnt work, i'll be buying a high mah battery and using this warped one for home use while on charger :/
i lost all my contacts when trying to back them up too, not happy about that
Posted on May 13, 2008
I tested aviao's solution and danged if he isn't right. The old battery wobbles when placed flat on a table. The new battery doesn't budge. And since I put in the new battery (24 hours ago) the phone hasn't shut down on me once. Thanks for the tip!!
Posted on Apr 04, 2008
By George, I think I've got it! The simplest solution isn't alway the best. The new battery didn't work, so I finally resorted to T-Mobile's suggestion of a hard boot. It worked. It's been 4 days and the phone hasn't frozen once. I left it locked for over 18 hours, and it never froze up.
For those who don't know how, turn off your phone. Then while you are pressing the power button, hold the "minus" buttons to the left and right of the center button (above the little house button and the left arrow button). You should see a screen message telling you to press another key (I forget which). Then, leave the phone alone until it's finished processing. It takes a few minutes. You'll think your phone has frozen, but it hasn't. If my instructions are poor, just call T-Mobile and they'll tell you how to reset the phone to the factory default. I was afraid I would lose my upgrade to Mobile 6.1, but I didn't. It was still there. Only my personal info and files were gone.

First 3D printer that can make magnets
Image credit: TU Wien
Austrian researchers have developed a 3D printer that can make customisable magnets with precisely engineered magnetic fields.
While making strong permanent magnets is quite simple with today's manufacturing methods, fine-tuning the magnetic field is much more complicated.
Previous methods required magnets of pre-defined shapes to be created using moulds, which is time-consuming, costly and only worthwhile for larger batches of magnets.
"We often require special magnetic fields, with field lines arranged in a very specific way - such as a magnetic field that is relatively constant in one direction, but which varies in strength in another direction," explained Dieter Süss, from the Vienna University of Technology, who led the team developing the printer.
The researchers said that thanks to the technology, making magnets with exactly defined magnetic fields would be much simpler.
The 3D printer is the first ever that can produce magnetic materials. It works similarly to standard 3D printers that make plastic structures but uses special filaments of magnetic micro-granulate held together by a polymer binding material.
The printer heats the material and applies it point by point in the desired locations based on a computer design. The result is a three-dimensional object composed of roughly 90 per cent magnetic material and 10 per cent plastic.
"A magnet can be designed on a computer, adjusting its shape until all requirements for its magnetic field are met," said Christian Huber, a doctoral student in Dieter Süss's team.
The object is initially not magnetic and has to be exposed to a strong magnetic field that converts it into a permanent magnet.
"This method allows us to process various magnetic materials, such as the exceptionally strong neodymium iron boron magnets," Süss said. "Magnet designs created using a computer can now be quickly and precisely implemented - at a size ranging from just a few centimetres through to decimetres, with an accuracy of well under a single millimetre."
The technique allows creating magnets that combine various different materials. Such a magnet could, for example, have a strong magnetic field on one end and a weak one on the other end.
"Now we will test the limits of how far we can go - but for now it is certain that 3D printing brings something to magnet design which we could previously only dream of," Süss concluded.

Moisture Control in Charlotte NC
- Are you experiencing water build-up on or near your foundation?
- Is moisture building up in your crawl space?
- Did you know that excess moisture may be coming from improperly draining gutters, ground sloping toward the structure, holes in your foundation, duct work, plumbing leaks besides others?
Whatever the reason of moisture in your building, it is a matter of concern that should be tackled without any delay. Moisture in a structure can lead to a variety of problems including humidity in living spaces, condensation on foundation walls, construction damage, health issues related to mold, fungus, mildew, spores, etc., musty odors, warping of hardwood floors besides pest invasion. Moist crawl spaces are a magnet for mold, fungi, insects, termites, all of which destroy wood framing.

Public health officials in Franklin County, New York, recently completed a state mandated anthrax-release drill to test their response to a potential terrorist attack.
The Franklin County Public Health Department was one of the first local health departments in New York State to run such an exercise, which was monitored by state officials, according to PressRepublican.com.
The New York State Health Department plans to evaluate how various counties have used state-issued disaster response funding that was provided following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The state is particularly interested in seeing if Franklin County officials would be able to treat approximately 200 people every hour or the entire county population in 48 hours for anthrax exposure.
Franklin County Public Health Department Director Katie Strack was the incident commander during the exercise. Overall, she was pleased with the results, but the operation did not come off entirely without a hitch.
"There were a few computer hiccups," Strack said, PressRepublic.com reports. "Considering it was the first time the staff was tested like this, I don't think that's bad at all."
Approximately 50 students from St. Regis Falls Central School volunteered to play victims during the drill. Each volunteer preregistered, checked in and moved through waiting lines to a group of nurses that dispensed simulated medical countermeasures and gave critical information.
"We did see we have to get quicker with the lines, but this is the first time, and the state needs to hear it so they can pass it on to other counties as they prepare," Strack told her team during a post-exercise briefing, according to PressRepublic.com.

About yzerman4pm
Wings V. Hawks. Early predictions
yzerman4pm replied to crabcakes'n'redwings's topic in GeneralLong time listener, first time poster. I've been a fan since Yzerman, Probert, Joe Murphy, Adam Graves, Jeff Sharples and Petr Klima got knocked out of the playoffs by the powerful Edmonton Oilers. I watched Borchevsky score the series winner against the Wings. I watched NJ beat out the favored Wings. I watched the Avs beat the Wings the following year. (I was as happy as all you guys (and gals) when Stevie hoisted the Cup for the first time in 97, then again in 98, again in 2002 and Lidstrom doing the same last year) I watched as Giguere, Kipper and Roloson stood on their heads to beat out the mighty Wings (I haven't forgiven Williams for taking that stupid penalty against the Oilers in Stevie's last game). I was pissed when Franzen didn't clear the zone last year and the Pens won in OT. Anything can happen. The Hawks look good. I just hope our boys aren't too tired or take the young Hawks too lightly.

On page 42 of Buddha's Money, author Martin Limon shocks me with detailed molestation of nine-year old girl. I'm not sure I want to read more. The problem is, and this may sound weird, this is fiction. I can't accept that the author made this up. In "Special Victims", an offspin of "Law & Order" the t.v. series, we learn about hideous crimes. Although fictionalized, I accept that the writers of the script get their ideas and information from Real Life situations. I may not condone what's happening in Real Life, I appreciate what the makers of these series bring to our attention.
It's been said that readers would rather read about terrible things happening in a fictional than in a non-fictional account. The reason for that would be that what's made up isn't really as bad as what actually happens. Or rather, what's made up can't happen to the reader.
If only that was really true.
Fiction after life may show situations that actually took place. That makes such stories believable. Sometimes it is as though the author takes on the role of a creative non-fiction writer. The reader knows the stories are based on facts, only the writer creates an environment that makes for more interesting reading.
One can question the existence of True Fiction, after all, all writers use material from their memory bank, from the media, from history, from Real Life.
Sometimes readers confuse an author with his characters. They will blame the author for the things his characters say or do. Often that's a mistake. After all, the author uses his characters to say something. But that doesn't necessarily mean he agrees with the character. An author has the power to bring controversial situations to the foreground, to the attention of the reader.
So, in the end, I gave Martin Limon the benefit of the doubt, after all, while reading the previous novel, Slicky Boys, I had learned some things about an environment I had known nothing about. Perhaps I would learn the reason for the scene with the child in the next chapter.
I'm on page 76 now, and yes, I did find out why the child is molested. The reasoning doesn't make the act any less horrid, but at least I trust the author.
