I have made every effort to provide you with acurate and truthfull information, however, there may be errors found throught my tutorial. I take no responsibilities for any damages to your computer resulting from the use of the information provided herin. Use this information at your own risk. As a reminder, I do not premote the use of this information for ilegal activites, it is your responsibility for any actions resulting from inapropriate use of this information.
I assume you have used MS-DOS and are familiar with getting around in DOS. This includes a working knowledge of issueing commands, spesifing comand line arguments, getting help with commands and so on. Some experimenting with batch is in order since I do not fully document the entire batch language, I will provide you with the essentials to get you started but in no way once so ever is this a complete guide to batch. Besides it sais tips and tricks not the entire language.
Seeing how many tutorials can be found all over the internet, my goal is to produce unique, origional tutorials while at the same time pay close atention to quality and content. Assumeing DOS tutorials are wide spead, I figured a tutorial on batch programing, introduceing potential tricks to be used in batch programing would be well suited. So this tutorial is to introduce you to the world of batch programing, but at the same time provide you with some tips and tricks. But why would someone want to program with batch when there are so many programing languages out there like C, C++, Python, Java and more? Well as you are problably aware, difernt languages are more suited for one task then others. If you were makeing a CGI script to run on a web server, perl would problably be your choice rrather then useing C or some other language. At the same time, if you want to write quick small utilities for windows to load at boot time, batch may very well be your answer. So what are we waiting for lets dive in!
If you want to learn how to change the colors of your color monitor with batch skip ahead to the end of this tutorial, if not cary on.
Batch Intro:
The batch language itself is pritty simple, fist off all our batch source code is writen in pure ASCII text format, and saved with the extension .bat. This can be acomplished with the use of a text editor such as notepad. A batch file is more or less a colection of DOS commands, as well as special batch spasific commands, plased sequentialy one on top of another. When the batch file is executed, the commands contained within are executed one by one as if you were typeing them in yourself. So why would you want to make a batch file? Well one example might be, you use a certian sequence of DOS commands every day when you start up your computer in the mourning and it would be nice if we did not have to type them in manualy. Now, in batch we may use all of the commands available to our version of DOS, plus an aditional set of batch spasific commands. I will list some common DOS commands but for a complete refernce pick up a good DOS book at your local library:
Attrib (view and change file artributes)
ChkDsk (check disk utilitiy)
Choice (present the user with a choice, default is yes or no)
Cls (clear the screen)
Copy (copy a file from one location to another)
Date (display and/or change system date)
Del (delete a file)
DelTree (delete a directory and all subdirectorys)
Dir (list the contents of a spesified direcotry)
DiskCopy (copy the contents of one disk to another)
Erase (same as del, refer to del)
Extract (extract one or more cabinet files [*.cab])
Exit (terminate and start new copy of command.com)
Find (locate a string in a file(s) )
Format (format a disk for use with MS-DOS)
Mode (controll links to computer perhipherals such as COM, LPT1..)
More (a pager, used to display information one screen at a time)
Move (move files or directorys from one location to another)
Prompt (change the display of the command prompt)
Set (modify, display or remove an enviroment variable)
Sort (sort alphanumericaly the lines of ASCII text from input)
Start (starts a Windows or dos program in a new parent window)
Time (disply or set the system time)
Type (type the contents of a file to standard output [monitor])
As mentioned, not only may you use any of the DOS commands suported by your version of DOS, you may also use batch spasific commands made for the purpose of batch file writeing:
REM (remark, set comments. Used for documenting or commenting)
ECHO (used to turn echoing on or off, as well can display an optional text message)
PAUSE (suspends execution for spesified time period)
FOR (execute a DOS command iteratively)
GOTO (causes execution to jump to a spesified line, used for program branching)
IF (conditional oporator used to execute a command only if condition is satisfied)
SHIFT (shifts the contents of the program parameters)
CALL (invokes a batch file, executable program or DOS command)
The above is certianly not a complete list of commands available to the batch programer but it is certianly enough to produce some funky utilities. I have not provided the Syt\ntax or how to use the commands, you should know how to get help on a command in DOS, but if you don't just launch DOS, type the command name followed by a space and /?. This will provide you with help. As well you can look in your local library for a DOS book, hint check your version of DOS with the VER command, or visit http://www3.sympatico.ca/rhwatson/dos7/ and look up the command you are interested in. So what is the format of a batch file, I mean, how do you write a batch file? Well, let me show you an example:
ECHO This program was created by ele5125
REM Move to C:\My Documents\ele5125, if not exist create!
IF NOT EXIST c:\mydocu~1\ele5125\ md c:\mydocu~1\ele5125
cd c:\mydocu~1\ele5125\
REM Copy files spesified in argument 1 to my directory
copy %1 c:\mydocu~1\ele5125\
So what does the above batch file do? Simple, the first line turns off echo, however because echo was not previously off it would normaly display echo off on our screen, so to prevent this we preceed it by a @. This tells it not to display the command as it is being executed. Now that we have echo off we do not need to use @ because nothing will be displayed unless spesified otherwise. Next we tell DOS to display This program was created by ele5125 on the screen. Finaly we get to use rem to make a comment, this is for opur purposes and is ignored by DOS. It is so we have an idea what the next line does, when we look over our code next week. It is simular to comments in C. Now, we have a if conditional statement, we are saying to execute the command cd c:\mydocu~1\ele5125 only if c:\mydocu~1\ele5125 does not already exist. But what exactly is this c:\mydocu~1\ele5125 thingy? It is a directory on your hard drive. Actualy the directory is C:\My Documents\ele5125 but in DOS we cannot have long file names, we must stick to the 8.3 file nameing convention. So if our file name is greater then 8 characters long, we take the first 6 characters, ignoreing spaces, followed by a tilde ~ then the number 1. This makes My Documents mydocu~1 instead, thus satisfieing the 8 character limit. So apart from all that, it is clear as mud right? Good!
So if C:\My Documents\ele5125 does not exist we create it. Now we use the DOS cd command to chage the current directory to our newly created directory. Finaly we include another comment to make things easy to read, then move on to a copy command. Now if you look up the copy command it sais it copys a file from one location to another. So what in the hell is this %1 thingy? I am glad you asked. When we execute our program later we will spesify the program name (the name of the batch file) followed by a argument like so:
batch1 a:\*.*
So assumeing we named out batch file batch1.bat our first argument is a:\*.* which just hapens to be a file spesification spesifieing all the files on my floppy disk, assumeing our floppy drive (FDD) is labled a:. So now in our batch file, to use this argument we refernce it by %1, why %1 and not %0? because %0 hapens to be our program name and %2 would be the second parametner if we gave it one. So we are copying from wherever the first argument sais so, to the new directory C:\My Documents\ele5125. The only major difernce between my batch file and the copy command is instead of copying to wherever we want, my batch program always copys to my own directory.
So that is all there is to writeing batch files, just use difernt combinations of DOS and batch file commands, type them line by line in sequence, name the file with a .bat extension and away we go. So why in the hell did I write this tutorial for you? Because now we can learn tricks with batch and we also have plenty of time for some examples to get you started. Remember, I do not document commands that I do not use, as well I do not document the arguments I don't use. So I strongly recomend you visit http://www3.sympatico.ca/rhwatson/dos7/ if you realy want to know how to use a command. Now for my tips and tricks:
Batch tips and tricks (and examples ):
Ok the first trick im going to tell you is how to compile a batch file into a executable file so you can pretend you did it in C . You can find a copy at http://nlsn.free.fr/batch-down/ it is very easy to use. to avoid any problems I sugest copying it to c:\windows\Command\ (in windows 9x). Next, lets get down to the meat of my tutorial.
**Batch Tips && Tricks**
#1 How to make a menu driven system:
Some of you may have woundered how you can make a simple menu in batch, well here is one way:
Set up a simple text file containing the menu text like so:
1) Do something...
2) Do something else...
3) Exit program
now save it with an extension txt, perhaps call it menu.txt, next create a separate batch file for each menu item named 1.bat, 2.bat, 3.bat excetra like so:
contents of 1.bat:
ECHO This batch file does something spesified in menu item 1
ECHO Do stuff..
contents of 3.bat:
REM return the prompt back to normal
prompt $N:\$G
And so on till you got a batch file for each menu item, you are not limited to batch files, they could be com or exe files. Now we make the main program:
contents of bat2.bat or whatever you called it:
TYPE menu.txt
prompt Enter your choice from the menu:
It is that simple, ok so how does it work? First you start by executeing our main program, in our example we called it batch2.bat it turns off echo being carful not to display anything. Then it types out the contents of menu.txt to the screen, this displays the menu. Next a prompt command is called to change out prompt from C:\> to Enter your choice from the menu: which makes more logical sence. So if we enter 1 and hit the enter button, it is the same as us typeing a command, now DOS will search the current direcotry for a program called 1, it finds 1.bat so it executes it. If you entered 2 the same type of thing happen, it finds 2.bat and executes it. Finaly if you choose 3 our 3.bat file will change the prompt back to normal and exit dos. Tada, that simple, there is your menu, now experiment! Yes thats wright, im not going to spoon feed you, you have to try things out and experiment.
#2 Getting beyond the 10 argument limit:
Now for our next trick, more then 10 command line arguemtns, exceeding the limit. but first we must understand what command line arguments are and how to use them. Command line arguments are extra information that you can give to the program on the command line. This is done by following the program name with the arguments like so:
program argument1 argument2 hello
here along with executeing the program named program, program recieves argument1 as %1 argument2 as %2 and so on. So now lets say we want to make a simple program, lets make the echo command:
contents of echo.bat:
@ECHO off
So how does it work? Simple, it takes the first paramenter which hapens to be contained in %1 and it echos it to the screen or standard output. Here is an exaple DOS session with our new program:
C:\> echo hello
But what if we put hello world instead of hello? well it would only print hello because world would be in %2 not %1. Clear as mud?
So that is how we can use command line arguments, but we have a limitation, we may only have 10 arguments, but I want more!!!
Here is our solution. We can use the shift command to shift the arguments around, so that we one by one bring the 11th 12th 13th and so on arguments into the argument list and at the same time shift arguments 1 2 and 3 out. This sounds very confuseing so here is a example:
contents of the new and improved echo.bat:
Now let us start up DOS:
C:\> echo A B C D E F G H I J K
So what happened? well first we turn off echo, now we print all 10 arguments that we recieved, we have a limit of 10 so J and K are missing. Now we issue a shift command, this shifts all the arguments to the left one position, now we loose the first argument and a new one comes in at the right side. Thus eliminateing A and ataching a J to the end. We do another shift then print all 10 arguments and this time we loose B and gain K. So shift moves the arguments from right to left so we have access to the arguments that simply could not fit into all 10 variables. That is how we can get over the 10 argument limitation. Now of cource our echo will not print more then 12 arguments, so if we realy wanted our own echo we would use the for command. I will leave you with that thought to chew on. Lets cary on with our tips and tricks.
#3 How we can get input from our user:
Ever wounder how we can give the user one of those yes or no questions, if we echo the question how do we get a responce? Well today is your lucky day, the answer my friend is with the use of the choice command.
Here is the syntax for the choice command:
CHOICE prompts the user to select one of a specified set of keys in a batch program. It is the only Dos command that allows for controlled user input to a batch file.
CHOICE [text] [/C[:]choices] [/N] [/S] [/T[:]c,nn]
/C[:]choices The prompt - comprising a series of single alphanumeric characters corresponding to valid choices. The prompt is displayed as the characters, separated by commas, enclosed in brackets, and followed by a question mark. Default is YN
/N Stops the prompt from being displayed, although text is still shown and the choices keys are still valid.
/S Forces the choice keys to be case sensitive. By default they are not.
/T[:]c,nn Defaults choice to c after nn seconds.
c must exist; nn must be in the range 0 to 99.
text Text displayed before the prompt. Typically, text is used to expand on the subsequent prompt.
The above syntax came from http://www3.sympatico.ca/rhwatson/dos7/
So how do we use it? Let us take up an example:
REM ECHO OFF? Yea why not?
choice Would you like to turn on echo?
The first line turns off echo, nothing new here. Next we make a comment about the code that follows, again nothing new. Now we use our new found friend choice to present the user with a yes or no prompt, because it defaults to yes or no, we just spefify out text to display and leave it be. So how do we find out what our user inputerd? The answer is with error codes, depending on the key the user pushes, it will set a error level acording to the following:
0 (Choice was terminated with CTRL+C)
1 (The first choice was pressed)
n (The nth choice was pressed)
255 (There was an error)
So how do we test the error level? Simply use the IF statement like so:
IF [NOT] ERRORLEVEL number
where not is optional and number is the number of the error code to be tested for. We did this with IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO YES and IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO NO, the GOTO is a command that will tell the program to jump to the line labled whatever follows goto, in this case if it was a error level one indicateing our user chose yes we goto the line labled yes, if the user chose no it would be error level 2 therefor we would jump to line labled no. Lines that are lables start with : so :YES is our labled yes line and :NO is our labled no line, from there the program resumes normal sequential operation. We turn echo on or off acordingly then exit. Simple no? Again I am not here to spoon feed you, this is a tips and tricks tutorial, not full coverage of batch file programing.
#4 Tricks with your color monitor:
For this trick you will need to edit your config.sys file to include the following line:
Now that we got that set up let us begin. We did this because we are going to be useing the ansi driver to controll our forground and background colors. Now normaly we would use the prompt command to display a difernt prompt, but it can however be used to send an escape code to the display. Now the ansi device driver that we loaded up in config.sys uses the controll sequence formate:
ESC [#;....;#m
remembering of cource that we will send these controll commands with the use of the prompt command. But how exactly can we do this, how can we send commands to ansi.sys to change the screen colors? Well first we know the format to send controll sequences is ESC [#;....;#m and we send them with the prompt command. ESC is the abriviation for escape, and we know our parameters follow the [ between #; and ;# where # is the number corosponding to the code in our controll sequence. these numbers can be found in the table below:
Parameter: Meaning:
0 All atributes off (normal white/black)
1 Bold on
4 Underscore (IBM Monocrome only)
5 Blink on
7 Reverse video on
8 Canceled on (visible)
30 Black forground
31 Red forground
32 Green forground
33 Yellow forground
34 Blue forground
35 Magenta forground
36 Cyan forground
37 White forground
40 Black background
41 Red background
42 Green background
43 Yellow background
44 Blue background
45 Magenta background
46 Cyan background
47 White background
So that means if i want to change the forground color to yelllow the code would be:
ESC [33m
Now how can we use the prompt command to issue this controll sequence? Easy, with $e in place or ESC like so:
prompt $e[33m
yes it realy is that simple, of cource after you made the change to config.sys you should reboot so the setting takes efect then you can play. Have fun!
I hope you have enjoyed these tips and tricks and I ceritanly hope they will come in handy. As well remember to check out the bat2exe so you can tell all your friends you are an 31337 C coder when realy you did it all in batch.

SimCity Review
It can't be easy to bring one of the most famous and beloved games of all time to a major new platform. SimCity fans are a notoriously detail-oriented bunch, and EA Mobile would have felt their wrath if it had brought anything less than its 'A' game to the iPhone port. Happily, the publisher went to great lengths to make this version of the game as complete, and as playable, as it possibly could have been. This is not a flawless recreation of the PC classic'"the hardware's limitations don't allow for that'"but we found that the game's minor quirks and issues were overshadowed by that all-engrossing SimCity gameplay.
For those unfamiliar (we bet there are three or four of you out there), SimCity is a city planning game that stands as famed designer Will Wright's seminal work of genius. It was one of the first games to combine open-ended design and procedural logic into 'sandbox' gameplay, offering the player complete control of his or her own experience. As Mayor of your city, you are The Decider. Your only goal is to enjoy yourself, whether that entails building your burg up into a city on a hill–or dooming its residents (known as Sims) to life in a hopeless slum.
Of course, nurturing a successful, growing city is far more difficult than destroying one. The game's economic guts are based on a marvelously complex series of interrelated factors, and maintaining the right balance requires constant attention and experimentation. For instance, if you zone too many industrial areas without setting aside land for housing, your Sims will have nowhere to live. If you do the opposite, unemployment will skyrocket. Police stations control crime, but they also take a bite out of your monthly budget; parks gradually improve land values, which in turn boost tax revenue, but occupy valuable real estate. In other words, there's a reason why many real-life city planners hold PhDs!
This version of SimCity puts all of the basic building controls at your fingertips, quite literally. Zoning, transportation, utilities, and municipal buildings spring out of a left-hand touch menu. Getting the size and placement right when building seems kludgy at first, but soon becomes second nature. We also really appreciate the convenient time controls, which allow you to pause the game or speed all the way up to triple pace. Drilling down into the nuts and bolts of the city budget and advisors isn't quite as easy, but it's still manageable–it takes three or four button presses. The only really inconvenient functions are the research graphs and map overlays, which require you to dive in and out of menus repeatedly. We think the interface works pretty well as a whole, and you will too, as long as you can accustom yourself to navigating at a somewhat slower pace.
The game looks solid, if not spectacular. The isometric graphics aren't going to wow you with their visual splendor, but there are a ton of different buildings and structures to explore, and they only start to look muddy at maximum zoom. The render speed is not quite up to snuff, though; both scrolling and zooming are noticeably laggy. We've always loved SimCity's music, and this game picks out four or five of the series' best tracks'"part jazz, part world music–for your listening pleasure. The game booted us out a couple times during extended play sessions, but a restart seemed to fix the problem.
We should also mention that this version of SimCity isn't technically complete. A few features like subways and elevated terrain are lacking, although you are unlikely to miss them much. However, we did find ourselves wishing for some one-off scenarios or challenges to test your skill against specific circumstances, like SimCity 2000 used to have.
SimCity doesn't qualify as a miracle port, but it's a great portable version of the classic, and we think that it'll satisfy almost everyone. Also, SimCity is one of those rare games that never really gets old, so it's sure as heck worth $9.99. Your office awaits, Mr. or Mrs. Mayor!

The Trade Deadline Must be Drawing Near
Okay, so there is no trade deadline in SQL Server like there is in professional sports, but there have been a lot of big moves lately that reminds me of the fury of trades you see right before the deadline in sports. And not just DBA's moving from one company to another. These are big names making big moves. The movers are moving and the shakers are shaking!!
The first big move I noticed was Jimmy May (Blog|@AspiringGeek) moving from the ACE Performance Team to the SQLCat Team (Blog|@SQLCat), both within Microsoft, which also includes a move halfway across the country to Redmond, WA. More recently was the announcement of Thomas LaRock (Blog|@SQLRockstar) making the move from Production DBA at his now former employer to SQL Server evangelist at Confio Software. The biggest announcement came today though.
The Big Announcement
I usually avoid blogging about topics that everyone is talking about, and I'm sure the blogs are on fire today about this announcement. But this announcement has personal meaning to me because I know so many people involved. It came early this morning via Twitter and the blogs of Brent Ozar (Blog|@Brento) and Paul Randal (Blog|@PaulRandal) at SQLSkills.com. The announcement is too big for me to do justice to it here in a mere few words, so I urge you to read the official announcements at http://www.brentozar.com/archive/2010/06/im-joining-sqlskillscom and http://www.sqlskills.com/BLOGS/PAUL/post/Brent-Ozar-joining-SQLskillscom.aspx.
Okay, the URL's kind of give away the big announcement, but there's probably very few people that haven't heard about this by now. Yes, Brent Ozar, whose name has become almost synonymous with Quest Software, has been given an offer he can't refuse. I don't know any respectable SQL Server Professional that would turn down an offer like this.
Circling back around to sports, I was telling my wife about the announcement this evening. God love her, she's not a techie, but she's really good at feigning interest when I get talking geekspeak. She's heard me talk about Brent and the team at SQLSkills.com before, so she was able to follow. I put it into words that I knew she would understand. I told her that getting an offer to join SQLSkills.com for a SQL Server Professional would be like a baseball player getting drafted by the Yankees and named to the starting roster all in the same day. Well, that's not technically true because a lot more people will join the Yankees than SQLSkills.com.
My Opinion
Personally, my take on this announcement is that it's a perfect match!! The SQLSkills.com team is one of the best, if not the best, in the world!! Brent Ozar has demonstrated time and time again that he fits into that high standard!!
I would say good luck to everyone, but luck has nothing to do with it. So I'll just say that I'm looking forward to how this will benefit the entire SQL community!!

Cairo speech, actions at odds
Written by Neil A. Davis, Gothenburg Thursday, 11 August 2011 14:34
Barack Obama went to Cairo and gave a phony baloney speech, then put in place programs totally to the contrary (just as he does in this country). People there were upset. I pointed out this duplicity in my letter(s), which began a bizarre obsession with a premise that I opposed Obama's cutting funds to Egypt. Even though I oppose most everything Obama does, that was not in my letter(s). I don't see what's so difficult to decipher.
If you want to understand my term "terrorist buddies" of Obama, all you have to do is look at each of the world's conflicts and see which side Obama supports. This isn't rocket science. The plan to eliminate bin Laden was in place before Obama became president. When he needed a boost in the polls, they woke him up in the middle of the night, so he could watch it on TV.
Penny Fattig and Glenn Bartels believe the two parties should work together for the good of the country. I don't know how many people consider themselves Democrats in this country. In congress, Democrats are virtually non-existent. I believe that Republicans should be fighting tooth and nail to prevent further usurpation of our freedoms by progressives/socialists.
Example: both parties just worked together on (debt reduction) legislation that increases our debt by 7-10 trillion dollars. Afterwards, Obama was crowing about all the spending he has planned. Standard & Poor's downgraded our credit rating.
Penny wrote "Obviously, gridlock is not a good thing." Gridlock is what keeps mental patients like Rep. Mike Doyle (D) in check. Here's his statement about tea partiers. "This small group of terrorists have made it impossible to spend any money." LOL
It is no surprise that AARP Nebraska president, Robert Eppler (08-03 letter), is bad-mouthing private Medicare Advantage plans. They are AARP's biggest competitor. He forgot to mention that they spent over $43 million lobbying the passage of Obamacare. It cuts the "bloated subsidies" away from seniors to fund what talk show host Andrew Wilkow termed, Obama's "zero liability voters."
AARP comes to the rescue with lower quality care and rising costs by government fiat. Obamacare throws seniors under the bus and AARP is driving the bus. Surprise! Surprise! Crony capitalism allowed AARP to join over 1,400 businesses in getting a waiver from Obamacare!
Obamacare is already cutting the reimbursement of physicians who see Medicare patients, causing a reduction in the numbers they will take and even causing some to leave their practice. As someone who opposes entitlements in the first place, I think it's stupid to employ government run healthcare which drives the best and brightest out of business. The competition of free market capitalism ensures the best care at the lowest price.
Which would you rather be paying for, a personal quality doctor or the slop at AARP's hog trough?
What if Ben Nelson would have voted against the health bill? Perhaps we would be talking about real healthcare reform.

If you're going to spend 3-5 days in Seattle at the PASS Summit it's worth sampling the local food rather than sticking with the 'safe' chain choices. I enjoy Diners, Drive-In's, and Dives on the Food Network, so I grabbed the list of restaurants they had featured from Seattle. Haven't tried any of them, but hoping to try at least one on my next trip. Been to one of these, or have another you think I should try? Post a comment!

Editor's Note: Regular column author Joseph Bertolini is currently injured. Wish him well!
This week on Theme Thursday, I decide to focus on Business Ringtones by RCP, something a bit different from the other columns in this series. The difference is obvious: this is an app focusing on ringtones, not on a visual theme. Yet, it still fits in a roundabout way. As part of Android's fantastic ability to be customized to a device owner's desires, there's so many visual options that users have. Yet, os often phones are stuck making the same obnoxious sounds, or randomized set of ringtones and notification sounds that vary from phone to phone, and often even from ROM to ROM
And many of these built-in sounds are loud, showy, and just plain over-do it. Ever look at the ringtones on a phone and think, "these are just too much?" Or, "why can't I just have a normal ringtone?" That's what Business Ringtones aims to do.
The tones are all designed to be basic digital chimes, with enough differentiation to be used as the notifciation sounds for different apps, for example. I like being able to hear my phone go off and know based on the notification sound whether I just got a text message, a tweet, or an email from one of the accounts I check. That's what these sounds enable me to do. There's over 50 sounds available, suitable for ringtones and alerts alike. Each sound can be previewed in the app, and then saved to the phone or set as a sound immediately. Once added to the device, individual apps can easily use them for their various tones.
These subtle yet differentiated tones go well with a sleek, minimalistic theme. As well, they could be used with a more garish theme, operating as the mullet of phones: it sounds like business, but it looks like a party. Business Ringtones runs for $1.99 on Google Play, and there's a video demo of the various tones available below. As well, developer RCP has other apps available with other types of tones, including a complete collection for $4.99.

The United States League's Waterloo Black Hawks had a great problem this year: Two excellent goalies, but just one crease. Luckily, the draft-eligible tandem of Eamon McAdam and Cal Petersen got along and that battery helped the Hawks finish fourth overall in the league.
"We both had solid years and both got recognized to come to the draft combine and make it onto some of the draft lists, so it worked out well," McAdam said. "We both wish we could have been the starting guy, but we both learned from the situation and both our games picked up because of it."
Petersen ended the campaign at No. 4 on Central Scouting's list of North American goaltenders, while McAdam placed sixth. But McAdam will get the first crack at the next rung of the ladder when he suits up for Penn State next season. Petersen, a Notre Dame commit, will likely stay in Waterloo for 2013-14 and play No. 1 minutes. The Fighting Irish will still have workhorse Steve Summerhays in net next year, but that's his senior season. Pennsylvania native McAdam on the other hand, joins the shiny new Nittany Lions as the team's marquee freshman.
"It's a new program and I can be one of the guys that starts it off and hopefully takes it far," he said. "Also, it's only three hours from home and there are a lot of other positives, like the coaching staff."
McAdam has that new-school goalie build to him at 6-foot-2, 185 pounds and considers himself a big fan of Buffalo's Ryan Miller due to the Sabre's technical play and athleticism. The latter attribute is something talent hawks have seized on when appraising the young man.
"High energy, high risk, high reward goaltender," said one scout. "Great athleticism, but quirky. Attacks the puck, challenges shooters, but he does guess a lot – he's not going to wait you out. Great kid in person, you can't shake his confidence."
As for a personal synopsis, McAdam believes he can be successful thanks to both mind and body.
"I skate really well for a guy my size and I read plays very well," he said. "I think that really helps my game. Rebound control and getting my stick on pucks low and controlling them is something I want to work on."
Along with playing at the All-American Prospects Game in Buffalo in the fall, McAdam was also part of Waterloo's march to the final of the Junior Club World Cup, a tourney held in Russia featuring teams from across Europe and the Ontario League's Sudbury Wolves. It was the first time McAdam had travelled outside North America and even though the Hawks lost to Sudbury in the final, it was an experience he enjoyed.
Now the next step will take place in State College, Pa., where the Nittany Lions will face a Division 1 conference schedule for the first time. And as members of the new Big Ten, they're not going in softly.
"It's going to be high competition all the time," McAdam said.
Washington Capitals draft pick Patrick Koudys will bring a big presence to the blueline and experience from his two years at R.P.I. The team also beat new rival Wisconsin this season – a shocker for the Badgers but a nice esteem booster for the nascent Penn Staters.
But Wisconsin won't be caught napping next year and powerhouses such as Minnesota and Michigan aren't going to go easy on them either, so Penn State is going to need some big play from McAdam.

Hundreds of protesters took to the streets from the early morning -- marching around several blocks and eventually blocking Montgomery Street for several hours.
Among their targets for the day of action were some of the city's biggest financial institutions: the Federal Reserve, Fannie Mae, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, the SEC, Citibank, Chase, and Bechtel, the giant conglomerate.
Some demonstrators chained themselves to the front doors of Wells Fargo corporate headquarters and the Bank of America building.
"The banks are not being responsible and we are tired of being foreclosed, getting in so much debt; it's just time to change the system," protester Wendy Kaufmyn said.
The situation got tense when an officer at that Bank of America protest asked for aid. Dozens of officers arrived and pushed the protesters away. About 18 demonstrators were arrested for blocking the bank building entrances.
A brother and sister from the East Bay sat in front of a Wells Fargo bank, complaining their parents, who live in Chicago, lost their home.
"After 25 years, times were tough and they couldn't make the monthly payments; it's a story that's affecting more and more people and they are losing homes," Max Alpert said.
Wells Fargo issued a statement saying, "In the past year, less than 2 percent of homeowner-occupied loans in our servicing portfolio have proceeded to foreclosure sale."
Bank of America did not comment on the protests.
At another protest in front of the San Francisco Federal Reserve building, a group called "Iraq Veterans Against the War" attracted attention by staging some dramatic scenes. The small but vocal group of veterans came to oppose the very wars they served in in Iraq and Afghanistan.
They said the demonstration also symbolized the way American civil liberties are being eroded at home, in their opinion. They said they chose the Federal Reserve building because it is one of the organizations in the pipeline that is helping fund the war.
Among the protesters was Scott Olsen, the Iraq War veteran who was injured last October when Occupy Oakland demonstrators clashed with police. He says he came out to stand with his fellow veterans against a new law they say gives the president more power to detain American citizens as terrorists.
Friday evening, a group of protesters moved towards Van Ness and occupied the former Cathedral Hill Hotel for several hours. They unfurled a sign from the roof of the building. Police entered the building after them but most of the protesters left voluntarily and only a few arrests were made.

Cotton growers benefited from the 2002 farm bill, and as a result cotton acreage has remained high and, in general, profitability has been good for growers. Though some growers contend minor tweaking of the 2002 farm bill, in particular assignment of base to absentee landowners, is needed, most agree status quo for 2007 would be good.
The new Democratic makeup of the U.S. House and Senate provides some unknowns, but cotton lobbyists contend the changeover could actually be good for cotton growers. Rep. Collin Peterson, D-Minn., who will become chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, grew up on a farm in North Dakota and has been supportive of agriculture throughout his political career.
On the negative side, Congressman Peterson is staunch advocate of bio-energy programs and is likely to lead an effort to include a strong alternative energy program in the 2007 farm bill. Peterson, a CPA, is also a strong supporter of a permanent disaster program for agriculture. Depending on how these are written, either or both could be good for cotton farmers.
On the Senate side, Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, is in the middle of corn and soybean production areas and will likely be a strong leader for those commodities. Support of a Revenue Assurance Program being touted by corn growers could be a major stumbling block for cotton growers. Harkin, an attorney by training, has been a strong supporter of agriculture, but how he will react to the corn lobby is not known.
Sticking point
The sticking point of the Revenue Assurance Program is the first 30 percent of the loss, which will be picked up by the farmer. The program is based on countywide production, and if one part of the county falls below a certain production level, the whole county qualifies for payments.
Cotton growers, especially in the Southeast, have dramatically upped acreage to compensate for low per-acre margins. For many Southeastern cotton growers, the up-front 30 percent cost would put them out of business.
Perhaps the biggest positive change in Democratic leadership in Congress, from agriculture's perspective, is John Spratt, chairman of the Budget Committee. Spratt, a long-time advocate of production agriculture, will have a dramatic impact on what does and what doesn't go into the 2007 farm bill.
Three priorities
Billy Carter, executive director of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Association, says all the components linked to marketing loans will be important to cotton growers. The LDP, he says, is very important because it takes some of the guesswork out of marketing and allows a grower to negotiate with lending agencies with some assurance of what he will be working with when he harvests his crop.
David Ruppenicker, executive vice-president of the Southern Cotton Growers Association and the Southeastern Cotton Ginners Association, agrees that the marketing loan program will be the key issue in the 2007 farm bill for cotton growers.
One of the main components of the marketing loan is that all production is eligible. He believes counter cyclical payments will be next in importance to growers.
There is some concern that marketing loans and counter-cyclical payments will be reduced, if not replaced, by conservation, energy programs and/or a revenue assurance program. Ruppenicker and Carter agree this would be a mistake, and it would create financial difficulties for Southeastern cotton growers.
Ruppenicker points out that because of consistent low prices, cotton growers have benefited more from counter-cyclical payments than have growers of other crops, which may create some concern for the 2007 farm bill.
The maximum counter cyclical payment of 13.7 cents per pound has been adequate to keep cotton growers in business. Ruppenicker points out that the 72.4 cents per pound target price on which countercyclical payments are based has been close to this level in previous farm bills.
Third in importance to cotton growers are direct payments to landowners. Of the three, direct payments are the most acceptable, or compliant with WTO initiatives. Growers contend direct payments should be made to the grower, not to the landowner.
Cameron, S.C., cotton grower Monty Rast says the risk taken by landowners and the risk taken by the person planting cotton is not equal. While agreeing that the 2002 farm bill has been beneficial to cotton growers, Rast contends the new bill needs some tweaking to provide more incentives to the person taking the greatest risk in planting a cotton crop.
Status quo OK
"The majority of our cotton growers would take the 2002 Farm Bill the way it is written for 2007," Carter says. "Ideally, we would like to see the current bill tweaked a little to address issues, like direct payments to landowners, but the reality is that there will be no more money to fund the 2007 farm bill, so keeping what we have will be a big win for cotton growers," Carter says.
"The commodity programs contained in the 2002 farm bill account for less than one-half of 1 percent of the total federal budget, Ruppenicker adds. "With corn being the most expensive crop, and, if corn prices continue to be good and continue to reduce overall cost of the farm bill, I believe the money will be there.
"Energy, conservation and fruits and vegetables will receive more attention in this debate, but there will be money for traditional commodity programs."
There are some compelling reasons for keeping the bulk of the 2002 farm bill for 2007. "The biggest reason, Carter says, is that it works. Cotton is a more expensive crop to grow and a more valuable crop than some other commodities, so maintaining a higher payment limit is critical to cotton farmers."
If WTO negotiations are restarted, it would make sense to have a farm bill that is in compliance with those agreements. The current farm bill is a known commodity for negotiators and keeping the program status quo would give all parties in the trade negotiations a known base from which to work.
Some contend that waiting would allow the WTO to write the next farm bill for Congress, but that is far-fetched at best. To avoid that conflict, most cotton growers contend minor tweaking of the 2002 farm bill would satisfy most growers and the WTO.

NEW YORK (AP) — What's this happening in Cinderella's magical kingdom? Is that a challenge to absolute monarchy we hear amid the romance and dancing? My goodness, it is: There's a demand for democracy. Children, there's even a call for economic justice.
What kind of fairy tale is this?
In the hands of playwright Douglas Carter Beane, a quite fine one actually.
Beane, who wrote the books for "Xanadu," ''Lysistrata Jones," and "The Little Dog Laughed," has had to be limber on this one: Keeping the elements of the classic story — those pumpkins and glass slippers need to be there — while making it relevant and not-too-twee for adults, too.
Beane has succeeded, proving he may be Cinderella's real fairy godmother. His script crackles with sweetness and freshness, combining a little "Monty Python's Spamalot" with some "Les Miserables."
"Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella," which opened Sunday at the Broadway Theatre, mixes songs from the Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II back catalog along with tunes they wrote for the original 1957 TV version of the story starring Julie Andrews.
The second half action sags a little as the creators try to shoehorn in as many songs as possible, but there's no denying this charming, witty adaptation that uses puppetry, Josh Rhodes' athletic choreography, lush William Ivey Long costumes that magically appear even when you're looking hard, and dreamy music put together by David Chase and Andy Einhorn.
Director Mark Brokaw gets high marks for juggling a lot of dancing, special effects, heavy scenery and top-notch singing, all in service of a quirky, yet heart filled take on the classic story.
They're helped by a first-rate cast, led by Laura Osnes, who one suspects was born to play a princess. She's so naturally earnest and sweet than she barely has to act. Her last role on Broadway was as the murdering Bonnie Parker in the short-lived "Bonnie & Clyde," so she deserves a "happily ever after" in a pair of Stuart Weitzman-designed sparkly pumps.
Victoria Clark as her fairy godmother is lovely and warm as always, even when swinging from rigging. Santino Fontana as the Prince seems to channel Steve Carell's self-conscious goofiness, and Harriet Harris as Cinderella's stepmother grasps avaricious very well indeed ("We are teetering precariously between upper-middle class and lower-upper class," she complains to one daughter.)
Peter Bartlett as the prince's officious mentor is splendid, and Ann Harada as one of the stepsisters has a fun time leading the prince's castoffs in a rousing "The Stepsister's Lament." ("Why can't a fellow ever once prefer/A usual girl like me?")
Other sumptuous songs include "In My Own Little Corner," ''Impossible/It's Possible," ''Ten Minutes Ago" and "Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful?" The orchestra is massive, matched by a huge cast.
Beane has taken so many liberties with the classic story that you may not always know where the story is going, a big feat for such a classic tale. In this "Cinderella," the lead character is named Ella, kindness beats out ridicule, constitutional monarchy breaks out, and one of the evil stepsisters turns out not to be evil at all.
All the while, there are some classic Beane lines geared to the parents in the audience. "Why is there a pumpkin on the table?" the evil stepmother comments in one aside. "It makes no design sense."
For the kids, there is pure magic. Cinderella's gowns appear with the best Broadway sorcery, a fox and a raccoon become footmen, the horse-drawn carriage appears as if we were in a Vegas magic show and a giant tree monster is slayed.
One word of warning: Bring some extra cash. Tiaras in the gift shop were a hot seller at intermission. Some fairy tales, especially the ones on Broadway, get expensive.

Exterminator Charged with Strangling Philly Doctor
PHILADELPHIA - Police say an exterminator has been charged with strangling a young Philadelphia doctor found bound and burned in her city row home.
Homicide unit Capt. James Clark says 36-year-old Jason Smith was arrested Wednesday night at his home in Levittown, about 25 miles northeast of the city. He's charged in the killing 35-year-old Dr. Melissa Ketunuti.
Police say Smith had an appointment at Ketunuti's home on the day she was killed. They say he strangled her with a rope after the two got in an argument.
Ketunuti was a second-year infectious-diseases fellow and researcher at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Her burning body was found in her basement Monday afternoon with her ankles and wrists bound.
He's been charged with murder, abuse of a corpse and other counts.

Spicy Hummus: We Heart Chickpeas
In the past week, I've somehow wound up discussing the unending virtues of the chickpea in three different conversations. Everyone is eager to defend their own native land's work with the chickpea, or garbanzo bean. And while Italian soups are nice, and curried chickpeas are marvelous, Middle Easterners win hands down when it comes to the chickpea. One word: hummus. Creamy and satisfying, hummus is the perfect base for an infinite variety of flavor variations. It's also cheap and easy to make at home. If you have a food processor, don't settle for the watery (and pricey) offerings of the Tribe of Two Sheiks. It takes three minutes to make better stuff your own.
Chickpea chauvinism aside, hummus has a co-MVP: tahini. Tahini is just a paste of ground toasted sesame seeds, so if you feel enterprising you can make your own in the food processor before adding the chickpeas. My experience is that buying premade tahini is much cheaper than buying the sesame seeds whole, fiddling with toasting, and then trying to successful grind the tiny things.
Our household's number one chickpea booster is the Human Vacuum. He's also the official hummus maker. H.V. is the one who first insisted we purchase our first industrial-sized can of chickpeas at Costco. He is a wise man.
Spicy Hummus
(The Human Vacuum's patented recipe)
Dump into a colander and rinse well with cold water:
2 cups canned chickpeas
(Canned chickpeas can be pretty salty. When you first start rinsing the water will foam. Keep going until the foam subsides.)
Pour the chickpeas into the food processor and add:
2/3 cup tahini paste
1/4 cup lime juice (lemon is traditional, but lime is zingier)
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 Tablespoons Potbelly Hot Peppers or other spicy pickled pepper (optional, but awesome)
Pinch salt
Whir the whole mess in the food processor until very smooth. Some people like a little chunky texture, but they are fools. Go for the consistency of Greek yogurt. Stick some pita, or your fingers, into the processor occasionally (stop the blades first) to allow your girlfriend to taste test. If the hummus sticks together in a ball, or otherwise and seems too thick, thin it with a few Tablespoons of water or olive oil. H.V. prefers to use water and drizzle the olive oil over the top at the end.
Serve drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with:
Fresh cilantro, or
paprika (smoked for preference)

Territory still needs cigarette tax stamp says author of study
The author of a local feasibility study regarding a cigarette tax stamp program in American Samoa says federal legislation approved last week by the U.S. House adding the U.S. Pacific territories to the current federal Contraband Cigarette Trafficking Act is not useful to help American Samoa combat cigarette smuggling, primarily due to the lack of a local cigarette stamp program.
Congressman Faleomavaega Eni, who sponsored the measure, announced last Thursday passage of H.R. 5934, known as Stop Tobacco Smuggling in the Territories Act of 2012. The bill, which is now with the U.S. Senate for consideration, seeks to amend the federal Contraband Cigarette Trafficking Act of 1978 to include American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands, and Guam.
Samoa News understands that this federal law is enforced by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Border agency.
Faleomavaega cited in his news release announcing passage of the bill a recent study, which states that in 2010 alone, as many as 5,792,924 cigarettes were smuggled into the territory. The study found that tobacco smuggling resulted in a loss of about $724,116 in revenue to the American Samoan government, he said.
The study, commissioned by the American Samoa Community Cancer Network following a May 2011 Territorial Audit Office (TAO) report, was prepared by local consultant Bryan Jackson.
The TAO report found that cigarettes were likely being smuggled into American Samoa, and that as a result ASG was losing a significant amount of cigarette excise tax revenue each year. The TAO report recommended that ASG implement a cigarette tax stamp program in order to control and prevent this smuggling.
Jackson, who agreed to the TAO recommendation, was asked last Friday by Samoa News for his reaction to passage of the federal bill in the U.S. House, since he was the author of the study cited by the congressman.
"My reaction is, that this is great that American Samoa has now been included in this [federal] Act, however, as there is currently no cigarette tax stamp in place in the territory, it is more of a symbolic gesture at this point than anything else, and in reality will have no impact whatsoever on cigarettes smuggled into the territory," he said.
After reviewing text of the House approved bill, Jackson said over the weekend that this proposed law, "will do nothing to help with the problem of cigarettes smuggled into American Samoa as ASG does not require cigarettes to bear a tax stamp or be marked in any way so as to indicate that the taxes on them have been paid, and the STOP Act — or proposed law — only applies to the smuggling of cigarettes with such stamps or marks," he said.
On the other hand, Faleomavaega's bill could prove to be an additional incentive for ASG to finally put a cigarette tax program in place," said Jackson, who suggested that ASG could seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Interior's Technical Assistance Program to help in developing and implementing a tax stamp program. He said the technical assistance program can—among other things—help improve 'tax collection systems', "and I believe a cigarette tax stamp program would fall in this category" he noted.

Sale of the former Vreba-Hoff dairies near Hudson was finalized Friday by a bank that foreclosed on the property more than two years ago and shut down the operations.
"We have indeed sold the dairies," said Sarah Kolell, public relations director for Rabo AgriFinance. Sale documents were signed Friday, she said, making Milk Source LLC of Kaukauna, Wis., the new owner of the dairy facilities.
The purchase includes three dairy farms and approximately 2,250 acres of farmland, according to a news release issued by Milk Source. The total investment will be up to $90 million, according to co-owner Jim Ostrom. He also said the company expects to employ 100 full-time workers with full benefits.
Milk Source is to begin remodeling shortly to modernize the dairies, he said.
"We will insure the sustainability of these farms through environmental integrity, financial responsibility and modern technology, such as sand recycling for the animal bedding and a solid manure separation system," Ostrom said.
The dairies housed as many as 7,000 cows when Vreba-Hoff built and operated them a dozen years ago. The dairies ran into repeated legal battles with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and criticism from environmental groups over manure management.
Hudson-based Environmentally Concerned Citizens of South Central Michigan was critical of a potential purchase by Milk Source in its most recent newsletter that contained a headline saying, "What lies ahead? MUCH, MUCH more of the same crap..."
Ostrom said in the news release that Milk Source has been working on the purchase for more than a year.
He said the company founded with two other dairy farmers "has a nearly 20-year track record of environmental stewardship, as well as sustainable and financially sound dairy farming in Wisconsin."
His partners are John Vosters and Todd Willer.
"During our due diligence of this purchase we were impressed by the agricultural community in Michigan. The local growers and suppliers are among the very best in the country," he stated.
"In addition, we found ourselves in contact with numerous state of Michigan and local officials and were very impressed with their knowledge, professionalism and decision-making," Ostrom stated. "Along each step of the way, we found that the government was rational, sensible and fair. This went a long way in convincing us to look at Michigan as a place to make a substantial investment."
Former Vreba-Hoff dairies near Hudson sold; buyers expect 100 jobs
Sale of the former Vreba-Hoff dairies near Hudson was finalized Friday by a bank that foreclosed on the property more than two years ago and shut down the operations.

VIDEO: Congressman Vance McAllister Allegedly Caught In Extramarital Affair
A surveillance video leaked Monday by The Ouachita Citizen allegedly shows Republican U.S. Rep. Vance McAllister kissing one of his married aides.
UPDATE: McAllister released a statement Monday night.
There's no doubt I've fallen short and I'm asking for forgiveness. I'm asking for forgiveness from God, my wife, my kids, my staff, and my constituents who elected me to serve. Trust is something I know has to be earned whether your [sic] a husband, a father, or a congressman. I promise to do everything I can to earn back the trust of everyone I've disappointed.
From day one, I've always tried to be an honest man. I ran for congress to make a difference and not to just be another politician. I don't want to make a political statement on this, I would just simply like to say that I'm very sorry for what I've done. While I realize I serve the public, I would appreciate the privacy given to my children as we get through this.
The video was captured on the afternoon of Dec. 23, 2013 and leaked by an anonymous source. The video's setting is McAllister's office.
Vance's website touts his 16-year marriage to the former Kelly Duncan, with whom he has five children. The aide, identified by the Citizen as 33-year-old Melissa Ann Hixon Peacock, is also married.
According to the Citizen's report, McAllister — who represents Louisiana's Fifth Congressional District — "touted his Christian faith and in one television commercial, he asked voters to pray for him" during last fall's Congressional race.
He has not yet released a public statement.
McAllister was elected to to replace Rodney Alexander, who resigned to become secretary of the Louisiana Office of Veterans Affairs.

Title: Charles B. Jordan papers, 1915-1941
Primary Creator: Jordan, Charles B. (1878-1941)
Extent: 3.0 Folders. More info below.
Arrangement: Chronological
Subjects: Purdue University--Faculty, Purdue University. School of Pharmacy and Pharmacal Sciences
Forms of Material: Articles
Languages: English
Charles B. Jordan was very active in the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, serving as its president in 1918-19, and as chairman of its Executive Committee for thirteen years, in which position he was called upon to decide many momentous questions pertinent to the rapidly-advancing educational standards in American pharmacy. He was also a member of the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education, the only official national standardizing and accrediting agency in the field of pharmaceutical education in this country.
He served as a member of the Committee of Revision of the United States Pharmacopoeia from 1920 to the time of his passing. He was chairman of the Subcommittee on Proximate Assays since 1930, and successfully carried on this part of the pharmacopoeial revision work.
Dean Jordan held membership in the American Pharmaceutical Association, the American Chemical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Indiana Academy of Science. He was a member of Phi Lambda Upsilon, Rho Chi, Phi Kappa, Sigma Xi, and Scabbard and Blade. He was chairman of the Indiana Interprofessional Health Council, which he was influential in organizing. His name appears in Who's Who, American Men of Science and Leaders in Education.
He was very active in the affairs of the community and was at one time president of the West Lafayette Boy Scouts Dad's Club, member and adviser of the Newman Club, honorary member of the Tippecanoe County Medical Society, member of the Town and Gown Club, the Fortnightly Club, and the West Lafayette Country Club, and served as vice-president of the Lafayette Rotary Club and as a member of its board of directors during the past year. He was a member of St. Mary's Church and the Holy Name Society.
He served as instructor in St. Elizabeth Hospital School of Nursing and for the past two years was president of the Nursing School Board of the institution.
As a teacher, Dean Jordan was highly esteemed and respected by his pupils. His fairness and keen sense of humor in the classroom elicited response from those under him his tutelage. In his capacity as an administrator he inspired loyalty in those associated with him.
He was the author of a text entitled Qualitative Analysis for Students of Pharmacy and Medicine. For a number of years he edited the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy Section, which appeared monthly in the Journal of the American Pharmaceutical Association. He has many scientific papers to his credit upon the subjects of drug assay, pharmaceutical education, and professional pharmacy.
His eminent work as a scientist and educator brought him the honorary degree of Doctor of Science in 1933 from the Ohio Northern University and in 1940 from Rutgers University.
Charles Bernard Jordan was united in marriage to Helen Mary Byrnes of Laingsburg, Michigan on August 20, 1907. As husband and father he was always thoughtful of his family and made it a happy one. He had four children, Veronica, Robert, Charles and Mildred.
So much that has been said is merely a record of facts about the life of one whom we seek to honor. In so doing we have not pictured well those qualities of character that distinguished his unbounded enthusiasm and fine sense of humor. He seemed always to be glad of life because it gave him a chance to work and to play and to enjoy his friends and loved ones. He cultivated neighborliness and gave much time to the promotion of friendships. He was straight-forward, tolerant, and kind, but had no patience with falsehood and meanness. Those and many other social qualities were his guide-posts along the way of life.
Dean Jordan was laid to rest in St. Mary's Cemetery, Lafayette, on April 25, 1941.

Distance Learning
Course Development & Evaluations for Online Courses
Western Illinois University's online learning initiative seeks to further improve the quality of learning and the learning experience for students, as well as to facilitate the teaching process for faculty.
WIU provides a series of course offerings for students using pedagogical best practices and transformation of education using information technology.
Development Process
It is important to accommodate the needs of all our students, whether they are traditional students at our Macomb and Quad Cities campuses, at an off-site location in Illinois or taking online courses from the comforts of home. By providing courses online, we are able to extend educational opportunities to those individuals who may not be able to attend a class on campus.
Faculty participates in the Best Practices in Teaching Online (BPTO) course to better prepare them to create and teach online courses. The online course is managed by Western Illinois University's Center for Innovation in Teaching and Research (CITR).
For help with online instructional design or instructional technologies, contact:
The competitive online course development process is suspended until further notice.
Online Course Evaluations
WIU is dedicated to creating excellent distance education courses. Course evaluations play an important role in evaluating the effectiveness of teaching and the success of the course. They also provide an opportunity for students to give direct feedback to their instructors regarding courses. Course evaluation results are used by faculty to improve teaching, and they are also a significant component in the promotion and tenure process.
Online Course Evaluation Survey Process
Access to the Online Course Evaluation ( https://www.wiu.edu/oce ) can be found at the following locations:
For Faculty
On WesternOnline-- http://westernonline.wiu.edu --under "Faculty Tools" select the Online Course Evaluation Site
Instructions regarding instructor and student access and how to create a link to the online course evaluation tool in courses that have been migrated to Desire2Learn.
These will ensure that students, professors, and chairs may easily locate the application when needed.
For Students
On the first page after you log into WesternOnline under the "Student Resources" pane on the left side, the last bullet in this section is called WIU's Online Course Evaluation Tool.
The default department date range for release of the online course evaluation tool to students runs from 80% of the semester to the last day of finals week.
This also applies to 4-week, 6-week, and 8-week summer courses too. A department chairperson is the only person who has authority to revise a course's default date in the assigned department should the need arise. Instructors can set the dates during which the course evaluation will be accessible to students.
The dates must fall within the department-specified dated range.
It is the responsibility of the department and/or the instructor to notify students of the availability of the online course evaluation tool.
Evaluation Results
Only department chairpersons have access to the evaluation results.
The online course evaluation system uses current technology security measures to ensure the security of the data, the anonymity of the participants, and the confidentiality of the results, in accordance with FERPA and institutional standards.
If you have any questions, contact:
Dr. Jeffrey Hancks, Executive Director
School of Distance Learning, International Studies and Outreach
Phone: (309) 298-1929.
For Questions
