Doctor Who is up for an award from The Writers' Guild of Great Britain.
It has been nominated in the television drama series category, where it faces competition from fellow BBC series Being Human and Little Dorrit.
The awards will be announced on November 29 at the Free Word Centre in London.
Series Three of Doctor Who was named best TV series in the guild awards of 2007, while in 1975 season 11 of the show (Jon Pertwee's last series, which aired between December 1973 and June 1974 and comprised The Time Warrior, Invasion of the Dinosaurs, Death To The Daleks, The Monster of Peladon and Planet of the Spiders) won a guild award for best writing in a children's serial.
The guild is a trade union for professional writers and the awards are deemed to be special because the work of writers is honoured by their peers and colleagues.
It follows the news that spin-off series The Sarah Jane Adventures has been nominated for a Children's BAFTA. These awards will, again, be given on November 29 in London.

As the nine series included in Kind of Blue, 2012 attest, there is never a single voice in Jenny Holzer's work. This cacophony of perspectives is what gives the words their dynamism and power. The piece consists of a twelve-hour loop that scrolls in various formats along the strong horizontal LED strips of Holzer's site-specific installation. The vibrant luminosity of the blue text scrolls first toward, then away from the reflecting pond, bouncing off soaring walls of glass and reaching far beyond the confines of the gallery.
Such reflections, coupled with the brilliant blue light filling the expanse of a double-height gallery, offer us visual bounty. This concept, of giving the viewer a gift, is one that Holzer intentionally cultivates—the beauty of this built environment is our reward for all the hard, sometimes puzzling, reading that is required of us to really delve into the piece. Lucky for us, we can enter this stream of words again and again, never in the same place twice.

I've been on a quest to find the best Vegan brownie recipe in the world. Well, after a number of failed "experiments" I pretty much gave up! My dog even stole one set (that was harder than a hockey puck) out of my kitchen trash. Suitable to be a dog cookie? Enough said! Because of all of the dry ingredients, the dough just needs some help rising to be edible.
After taste testing a few recipes, I came up with this version of gluten-free goodness! They do have eggs in them, so they would not be considered Vegan. These are great, and you don't need a very big piece to get a chocolate fix.
The base for the dough is arrowroot. It's a starch that's gluten-free and is used in place of flour most frequently to firm up puddings, custards, and in our case here, brownies. The walnut oil is a little pricey but it's really high in your Omega 3 and 6, so I'm sure that makes it safe to rationalize having a second piece! Both the walnut oil and the arrow root might be hard to find in a traditional grocery store, but you should be able to locate them in a more "health oriented" stores.
Best Brownie Ever
1 cup raw pecans
6 Tablespoons walnut oil, plus extra for the baking pan
½ cup agave nectar
2 whole omega-3 eggs
½ cup cocoa powder
¼ cup arrowroot
Sunspire chocolate chips and toasted, chopped pecans (unsalted) for "frosting"
Preheat oven to 350*F.
Oil an 8x8x2 inch baking pan with the walnut oil. In a food processor, grind the pecans to the consistency of meal. Transfer to a medium bowl and add the 6T walnut oil, agave nectar, eggs, cocoa, and arrowroot. Stir to blend. Pour into an oiled 8x8x2 inch baking dish.
Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Immediately put some of the Sunspire chocolate chips on the top of the brownies just when you pull the pan out of the oven. When melted, use a small spatula to spread. Sprinkle toasted pecans on top. Let cool, then cut into 1 inch squares.
Variation: I used ground almond flour in the dough rather than 1 cup raw pecans; you can purchase the ground almond flour in the baking section at Trader Joe's.
You could also lose the chocolate chips and dust the top of the cooked brownies with a dusting of powdered sugar.
These are not "vegan" due to the incorporation of eggs, but they are gluten free and dairy free depending upon the type of chocolate chips you use for the frosting.

AQIP News: Action Projects for 2014 submitted
Three AQIP Action Projects have been approved by Cabinet and the Accreditation Committee, and have been posted on the Higher Learning Commission website for 2014. The projects are the Early Alert, Institutional Reporting, and Reverse Transfer projects.
Early Alert tracks students, in real time, who may have financial aid, attendance or academic issues. The goal is to integrate the early alert process with midterm progress reports and attendance reporting.
Early Alert is in the AQIP Category of Supporting Institutional Operations. The Title III program is funded through a five-year $2 million dollar federal grant. Teddi Lewis-Hotopp, director of Title III: Strengthening Institutions, manages the team.
The Institutional Reporting project is the next step in delivering relevant, timely, and easily obtainable data to stakeholders at the college. Sometimes called the "data warehouse," this project will map out a new process for making institutional data available in a self-service model.
Heading the work is Jennifer Anderson, director of Institutional Effectiveness. Institutional Reporting falls under the AQIP category of Measuring Effectiveness.
Reverse Transfer identifies former students who transferred prior to completing certificate or degree requirements at Columbus State, but now qualify for an associate degree based on coursework completed at their transfer institution. A year in the making, this project will improve internal processes and add new private partner institutions. To date, an additional 300 former Columbus State students now count as graduates.
Reverse Transfer is in the AQIP category of Building Collaborative Relationships and is part of Goal 2025, the national college completion effort. Martin Maliwesky, dean of Enrollment Services, leads this group.
Teams will submit project updates later in the year for peer review by the Higher Learning Commission. Results will be posted on the commission website by September 2014.
Veterans' Week activities run Nov. 4-13
Columbus State's Veterans Services department will host a week of events to honor veterans and provide services.
Veterans Services is collecting items for a Troop Care Package Drive until November 9, at the Veterans office in Delaware 156.
Monday, November 4, is Military Recruitment and Appreciation Day. Veterans are invited to a resource fair on Tuesday and informational sessions Wednesday and Thursday.
The big event is a Support the Troops Rally on Friday, November 8. From 8:45 to 9:45 a.m., we will gather on the courtyard near the statue to salute our veterans. From there, a group will depart for the Columbus Veterans Day parade that begins in downtown Columbus at 10 a.m.
Veterans Day will be observed on campus on Monday, November 11. All campuses and Regional Learning Centers are closed.
Academic assistant helps athletes excel
Mark Sommer runs marathons on the weekends, and during the week helps Columbus State student athletes go the distance in their classes.
Sommer (center), with some of the student athletes he helps.
As a part-time academic assistant, Sommer's "enthusiastic, passionate commitment to student athletes is inspirational," according to Julie Collins, who nominated him for Part-Time Employee of the Month. Sommer was surprised with the award by President Harrison this morning in his office.
"Mark initiated a peer-to-peer tutoring program that has helped our student athletes become more accountable academically, and enhanced the completion rate for our athletes to 81 percent," writes Collins. "During Finals Week, Mark opened our student-athlete academic rooms at 7:00 a.m., which led to multiple students coming in early to prepare for their exams," she writes.
"Mark is amazing," writes student manager Dani Turner. "He is always willing to help and support us. He always has a solution and no task it too small or too big. He encourages us to reach for our full potential!"
Disability Services and Humanities offer lecture Nov. 20
Dr. Dea Boster
Join the Departments of Disability Services and the Humanities when they present a lecture titled "Joice Heth and Jim Crow: The Dual Stigma of Race and Disability in Antebellum America," Wednesday, November 20 at 2:00 p.m. in Franklin Hall 110.
The presentation will be made by Dea Boster, Ph.D., instructor in the Humanities, who will discuss the layers of meaning that were ascribed to race and disability, two concepts that were mutually constitutive in the nineteenth-century United States. As the notoriety of Joice Heth and Jim Crow spread throughout the nation, so did discussions and portrayals of disabled slaves. Many nineteenth-century writings associated physical and mental disabilities with weakness and dependence, immorality, dishonor, and the grotesque, and these associations influenced the "dual stigma" of race and disability.
The lecture is free and open to the public.
Join GEM-C to critique writing
The Greet, Eat, Meet, and Critique (GEM-C) Writers of Columbus State are committed to helping writers nurture their creativity, improve their writing skills, and move their works toward publication. The group meets one Saturday a month for about 2 1/2 hours. Following a potluck lunch, members share their literary experiences and critique each other's submissions. All types of writers are welcome, but the group is not for students who want their term papers or homework edited. For more information, contact Clay Cormany, instructor in Communication, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Last week for feedback on Day of Service!
If you participated in the September 26 Day of Service, please give your feedback and comments on the survey link posted here: http://web.cscc.edu/snapwebhost/s.asp?k= 138090023578
The survey is voluntary and anonymous. The last day to submit this important feedback is Friday, November 1.
Academic Onboarding sessions offered
November will feature two academic onboarding sessions that are open to all faculty and staff.
"Assessment for Learning: The College Assessment Process," will take place Friday, November 1, from 1:00 to2:30 p.m. in WD 352. How does the College's course and program assessment process work? How does this process relate to learning in the classroom? This session will look at the purpose, process and structure of Assessment at Columbus State. Faculty Fellows for Assessment Adam Moskowitz and Lisa Cerrato will lead the conversation.
"Build a Student Success Story" will be offered Friday, November 15, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m., room TBA. To foster student success we have had to learn more about our students' backgrounds and challenges that potentially interfere with academic success. What better way to understand those challenges than to "walk a mile" in their shoes. After learning about first-generation college students, participants will build a student profile from a collection of variables then explore overcoming these obstacles from the student and faculty perspective. Traci Haynes, interim chairperson for Psychology, will facilitate. Advance registration for each session is encouraged.
Safety Council works for secure campus
Earlier this summer, Columbus State created the College Safety Council to provide a place where issues of college safety can be addressed.
The Council is co-chaired by the Chief of Police Sean Asbury, and Professor Terry Olive, D.V.M. from Veterinary Technology. Working closely with the College's Police Department, the Council is committed to maintaining a safe, secure learning and work environment by:
Understanding the College's public safety programs, and each person's responsibility as a member of the college community to advance a safe and secure environment;
Identifying issues of key concern;
Providing feedback on programs, policies and procedures related to college safety, including emergency preparedness, crime prevention, education and training, safe and secure computing environment, and communication;
Serving as a key communicator about college safety within the college community.
You can contact any of the College Safety Council members if you have a question, concern or idea regarding college safety.
College Safety Council members are, from left: Scott Wagner, Vanessa Cummings, David Foor, Karen Rippe, John Nedel, Timothy Butcher, Bradley Beck, Lori Thomas, Renee Hill, Robert Clifford, Kellie Brennan, Teresa Lister, Lorrie Ritchey and Sean Asbury. Not pictured are Terry Olive, John Eldrige, Jackie DeGenova, and Elizabeth Yount.

After more than ten years of our lives completely revolving around Foxy Shazam, it is time to disband for an unknown amount of time. Performing more than two thousand shows together around the world has been life changing, but also has kept us from spending time with our families and pursuing our own passions and ways to grow individually as artists.
It has been an honor sharing ourselves and our music with all of you. Thank you to all of our fans, family, and friends that have supported us through everything to make this previous decade the best times of our lives.
We truly believe there is a future for Foxy Shazam, that our best art is yet to come. We don't know how long this will take but we plan on someday returning more powerful than ever.

Revision as of 23:32, 20 May 2018
Welcome to the collaborative wiki of EDGE (Extragalactic Database for Galaxy Evolution) and CALIFA surveys. All of the secure access is now on our EDGE twiki
Survey Descriptions
- Dec, 2014 : E-array CARMA observations are complete (177 galaxies).
- April 3, 2015: D-array CARMA observations are complete (125 galaxies).
- April 9, 2015: First face-to-face meeting at Maryland.
- May 11, 2015: The 2nd version (v2) of CO data cubes are released, which uses a smoothed mask based on the original cubes (v1) as a deconvolution region.
- Jul 15, 2015: telecon: MOU signed, all EDGE data nearly reduced
Telecon Notes
- 2015, May 12: Preparing the MoU for EDGE and CALIFA collaborations.
- 2015, May 19: Discussing the cross-correlation results to refine the CALIFA astrometry. Comparing flux of v2 vs v1 data cubes: v2 recovers slightly more flux than v1. For survey publication, we only need the total flux from moment-0 maps, while for comparison with archival data, we need to convolve it with the beam of single dish telescope.
- 2015, May 26: MoU is under review by CALIFA board members. Considering velocity range as parameter to make moment-0 mask. Discussing depletion time vs metallicity plot. The metallicity is calculated from emission lines maps using prescriptions by Kewley & Dopita (2002). So far, no correlation with metallicity was seen. The depletion time looks constant with a value of ~ 1 Gyr.
Outcomes from April 2015 meeting at Maryland:
- Survey paper, science result will be analysis of t_dep vs. Z, maybe multi-parameter relations (Alberto)
- Study of 12CO/13CO ratios (Yixian/Tony) 8-12M
- T_dep in centers (Dyas/Leo) 12M
- Why do not all galaxies have CO? (Leo)
- Dispersion in KS Law (Lucas/Helmut/Glenn) 12M
- NGC7738 "EDGE test concept" observations (Lucas/Helmut) 6-8M
- Comparison of CO/Ha point-by-point velocities (Glenn)
- T_dep vs. t_dyn (Erik) 6-8M
- Quantitative CO structure: radial parameters, asymmetries, Gini, flocculent, arms etc (Stuart) 12M
- CO concentrations in centers and links with bar (Karin)
- Kinematic misalignments (Glenn)
- SFE today vs. SFH/Moster Law (Erik)
- Fraction of "diffuse" CO gas (Eve/Adam)
- AGN feeding in EDGE (Stuart/Richard)
- Flux recovery for interferometer (Yixian/Tony)
- T_dep vs. BPT: somebody should try the plot to see if this is interesting
- "ISM predictor" for ISM mass subtraction: longer term
- Contacts in CALIFA for specialized data products: SFHs, Sigma_stars, etc (Glenn)
- Low/high ionization velocity fields from Gandalf fitting/Ha only velocities (Glenn)
- Galaxy parameters from surface photometry fitting: PA, incl, etc (Glenn)
- Improving CLEANing and masking with rotation curves/Ha velocity fields (Tony/Alberto/Stuart/Peter)
- Mm-continuum images using full passband for EDGE need to be created (Tony)
- Calibrated unWISE data (Karin)
- E array only data: mostly non-detections, but it'd be useful to have the limits/do stacking (Tony)
- Single dish CO 1-0 measurements to assess flux recovery (Helmut)
- Integrated CO luminosities with errors (?)
- Metallicity of gas: need to look at CALIFA strong line results, produce for a few calibrations (?)
- CO rotation curves (Peter/Alberto/Tony)
- Über-database on 1" pixels for cross-correlations (Adam/Erik)
- Alberto's EDGE home page
- A local copy of all (615 GB) EDGE data is on fornax:/fornax6/EDGE (copied April 10, 2015)
- July2015 meeting notes
- Tony's EDGE page
- The new (soon to be) secure twiki for EDGE/Califa
- The now deprecated twiki for EDGE and CALIFA
- We have a mailing list on Google Groups, where you can also subscribe
- Pictures: April 2015 meeting and May 2017 meeting

Senior quarterback Josh Graham had a monster game and led his team to its fourth-straight victory, a 47-33 decision over the Golden Tornadoes. With the homecoming win, Waynesburg improved to 4-1 on the season and 4-0 in Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) play. The loss dropped the Tornadoes to 1-5 on the season and 1-3 in conference action.
The home team got off to a fast start on defense, forcing Geneva into a quick three-and-out on offense. The Yellow Jacket offense followed suit by scoring on its first possession of the game, which covered 69 yards in four plays. Graham recorded his first of a personal-best six touchdown passes when he found sophomore Cody McGee on a 19-yard touchdown connection with just 3:21 gone by in the game. Senior Chris Marini nailed down the extra point to make it 7-0 Jackets.
After another Geneva three-and-out, Waynesburg doubled its advantage with a four-play, 56-yard drive that lasted just 1:51. Once again, it was Graham capping the possession, this time finding junior Christian Jackson on a 28-yard catch-and-run to make it 13-0 Jackets. Another Marini field goal pushed the score to 14-0 with 7:43 still to play in the opening quarter.
Geneva got back into the contest with an early second-quarter touchdown that trimmed that Jacket advantage to 14-7, but Waynesburg responded two possessions later with its only rushing touchdown of the game. Sophomore Bertrand Ngampa ended a four-play, 50-yard possession with his team-leading fifth touchdown run of the year, which came from four yards out. Marini's third PAT of the afternoon pushed his team back ahead by 14 points (21-7) halfway through the second period.
The Golden Tornadoes were once again able to respond with a touchdown of their own that cut their deficit down to 21-14, but that was the last time the visitors would be within a single score of their hosts on the afternoon. Two possessions later, Waynesburg re-established a two-touchdown advantage when Graham found senior teammate Jeff Young on a drive-capping six-yard scoring pass that ended an eight-play, 47-yard possession. Another successful kick by Marini put the home team ahead 28-14, which was also the score at halftime.
The trip to the locker room did nothing to slow down the Jacket offense, which picked up right where it left off during its first possession of the third quarter. After a fantastic kick return by Jackson set Waynesburg up at the Geneva 26-yard line, Graham found Young for a second time in the Geneva end zone to end a four-play possession and move the home team ahead 34-14. Marini's extra point gave the Jackets a 35-14 advantage.
After the Waynesburg defense forced Geneva to go three-and-out, the Jackets put the game out of reach with a six-play, 39-yard drive that ended with Graham floating a pass right into the waiting arms of sophomore Pat DePizzo for a Jacket touchdown. With 8:18 showing on the third-quarter clock, the Yellow Jackets held a 41-14 advantage in front of their homecoming crowd.
To Geneva's credit, the Golden Tornadoes posted back-to-back touchdowns during the end of the third quarter and early in the fourth quarter to make the score 41-27 with 11:59 showing on the clock. However, Waynesburg was able to stop the momentum with its seventh touchdown drive of the game, which started at the Jacket 40-yard line. Nine plays later, Graham hooked up with Young for a third time, this time on a 17-yard strike that put the Jackets ahead 47-27 with eight minutes left to play.
Geneva was able to tack on one more late touchdown, but it was too little, too late as the Jackets celebrated a homecoming victory. As previously mentioned, Graham stole the show by throwing for a personal, game and season-high 311 yards and six touchdowns on 19-of-29 passing. Graham's half-dozen scores came just two scores shy of John Huntey's record of eight, which was set in 1968.
Jackson was his favorite target on the day, pulling in a collegiate-best and team-high eight balls for 157 yards and a touchdown. Young pulled in three catches, all for touchdowns. It is the second time in the past two seasons that Graham has hooked up with Young for three touchdowns in a game. The duo accomplished the feat in 2010 against Grove City. The senior wide receiver Washington, D.C. was also crowned homecoming king at halftime.
Though the Waynesburg running game took a back seat to its aerial attack, the Yellow Jackets still out-ran their opponents by a 119-to-84 margin. The Jackets were led on the ground by senior Justin Falcon, who totaled 40 yards on 12 carries.
Senior Sam Byrne had a huge day in pacing the Waynesburg defensive effort. The Berkeley Spring, W.Va. native recorded game highs in total tackles (9), solo tackles (9) and tackles in the backfield (3.0). Senior defensive tackle Darryl Moore, Jr. notched two of Waynesburg's six sacks as part of a four-tackle day. Sophomore defensive end Brandon Fedorka added 1.5 sacks in the win.
Geneva's offense was led by quarterback Rocco Collavecchia who went six-of-eight as a passer for 160 yards and two touchdowns, led all ball carriers with 53 yards and two touchdown on 11 carries and hauled in three catches for 41 yards.
After playing back-to-back home games, Waynesburg hits the road on Saturday, Oct. 15, for a PAC showdown with conference rival Westminster. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:30 p.m.

|Read my weekly column for the West Side Spirit "Sez I To Myself"
Interested in a diving vacation in beautiful Bali, Indonesia? Then visit my son Malachy's website at Scuba Duba Doo. Thanks.
Malachy McCourt was born in Brooklyn, USA and from the age of three was raised in Limerick, Ireland. A very undistinguished academic career plus the need to eat led him to leave school at the age of thirteen to begin work in Ireland and England as a laborer.
He returned to the land of his birth at the age of twenty and again worked at the manual tasks such as longshoreman, truck loader, dishwasher, until he became an actor. That career took him to Broadway and Off-Broadway and regional theatres in plays such as Mass Appeal, Da, The Hostage, Inherit the Wind, Carousel and Translations. The soap operas such as Ryan's Hope, Search for Tomorrow, One Life to Live, and All My Children were also a good source of work and sustenance as were the movies Molly Maguires, She's the One, The Devil's Own, Green Card, and TV movies such as You Can't Go Home Again and The Dain Curse. Due to a heavy schedule of writing, book signings and public appearances McCourt had to take a sabbatical from the acting trade but is now back after completing five movies Happy Hour, Guru of Sex, Gods and Generals, and Ash Wednesday plus a running part in the HBO prison series Oz.
In the early seventies he was one of the first radio talk show hosts on WMCA and also worked at WOR, WNYC and WABC. He was a frequent guest on the Tonight Show, Merv Griffin and Tom Snyder shows and most recently he was a guest on Conan O'Brien and the Late, Late Show on CBS.
Malachy McCourt has been the recipient of awards from various organizations such as:
Malachy has had articles published in many periodicals including New York Newsday, National Geographic, Conscience Magazine and New York Times.
As well as being the co-author of the play A Couple of Blaguards with his brother Frank, Malachy has written his own New York Times bestseller memoir, A Monk Swimming, published by Hyperion Press. His memoir, Singing My Him Song, now out in paperback is published by Harper Collins. Running Press recently published four of Malachy's books: the history of the song Danny Boy, a history of The Claddagh Ring, Voices of Ireland, an anthology, and Malachy McCourt's History of Ireland. Recent books, Harold Be Thy Name and Bush Lies in State, are published by Welcome Rain. In the works is I Never Drink When I'm Sober for Harper Collins. Malachy writes a column, Sez I to Myself, that appears in the Manhattan Spirit, The Westsider and Our Town in NYC. (Read his latest article).
Malachy McCourt is happily married to Diana for almost four decades, has five grown children and is grandfather to four. He owes a great deal to his friend Bill W.

Theater students to perform "Reckless"
Theatre Columbus State's spring production of Reckless by Craig Lucas opens Wednesday, May 18, in Nestor Auditorium for a five-performance run. Reckless is directed by Frank Barnhart.
The play revolves around Rachel, who is at home for Christmas Eve when she is informed by her strangely silent husband that he has hired a hit man to kill her. He urges her to flee for her life. She escapes out the kitchen window, embarking on an adventure that brings her to the doorstep of Lloyd Bophtelophti, who has changed his name to avoid alimony payments and who now lives with a paraplegic named Pootie, who also pretends to be deaf in order to get double disability. Rachel wins $100,000 on a TV game show and begins a series of zany escapades involving numerous psychiatrists and an ill-fated reunion with her husband.
The play is free and open to the public. Performances are Wednesday–Saturday, May 18-21, at 8 p.m. A special matinee will be held on Thursday, May 19 at 3 p.m.

ITDL Workshop:
Strike Gold with Data in Grant Proposals
Have you ever heard the saying, "He who has the gold makes the rules"? Well, it's certainly true with grants. Funders want applicants to present compelling cases and they reward those who do with "the gold." So how do you make a grant proposal compelling? You do it with data. With funding decreasing, competition increasing, and time in short supply, you can't afford to be noncompetitive.
The Grants Office is offering interactive workshops where you will learn different methodologies for collecting data based on grant proposal specifications, what types of data you may want to use, how data can document success, and how to locate different data sources.
Please join us and learn from Columbus State's resident research analyst, Rosemary Gliem, Ph.D. Seating is limited to 20 people per workshop and preregistration is required.

DOVER — Few, if any, area sports can match the continued success enjoyed by Seacoast volleyball teams, and 2012 was another example of that success.
Six area teams made it to at least the semifinals in the three divisions. In Division I, Dover enjoyed its best season by going 17-4 overall, which included the first two playoff wins in program history. They were led by Foster's player of the year Molly Wotton and all-state setter Abby Harte.
In D-II, three local teams were among the four in the semifinals. St. Thomas, led by the Chrisom sisters, CC and Maria, went 19-1 overall, beating Coe-Brown in the final four and losing to Gilford in a championship rematch. Oyster River, paced by Dream Teamers Katie Sylvia and Shauna Bulger, also made the semis after a slow start marred by injuries.
In D-III, Nute and Farmington advanced to the round of four. For the Tigers it was their fifth straight trip, while the Rams were back in the semis after a two-year hiatus. Nute, led by setter Michelle Guindon and a strong cast of underclassmen, advanced to the final before losing to Winnisquam.
Spaulding lost in the D-I first round, while Somersworth fell in the D-II quarters, as did PCA in D-III.
How the team is picked: Area coaches nominate players from their teams and offer input for coach of the year and player of the year. The sports staff makes the final Dream Team selections.
The versatile junior outside hitter was instrumental in Dover's landmark season. A three-time all-state pick in D-I, she was named D-I player of the year in 2012 as well as the Gatorade New Hampshire player of the year. She led the Green Wave with 272 kills, 76 aces and 44 blocks.
"I could put her at any spot on the floor and she would play phenomenally," said coach Colleen Harte. "She's that versatile."
St. Thomas Aquinas
Holtz guided the Saints to the best season in program history. The Saints went 19-1 overall, advancing to the Division II championship for the second straight year and losing again to Gilford. Their run included 19 straight wins a two-year record of 38-4.
"She continues to show why STA has been atop the Division II rankings, by proving that defense cannot only win games, but also dominate the division," said Oyster River coach Dan Brodeur. "She's the most underrated coach I've come across."
The senior outside hitter led Farmington to an 16-3 mark and a fifth straight trip to the D-III semis. She was named D-III player of the year, leading the Tigers with 276 kills, reaching the 500 kill career mark on Oct. 17, which she did with only two of her three years as a full-time player. She added 233 digs.
"Marissa was an offensive powerhouse and the complete package," said Farmington coach Jenn Kuehl. "She scored almost half of our team's points single-handedly. She was extremely consistent and capable of hitting from anywhere on the court and then putting the ball virtually anywhere on the court. Teams were unable to find a way to contain her.
Oyster River
The senior outside hitter and captain led OR to the semis and was named D-II First Team All-State. She had a team-high 221 kills, as well as 31 aces and 189 digs, cresting the 500 career mark in both kills and digs.
"She was a leader on the court, always striving to get better," said coach Brodeur. "She had excellent range, control and power."
The senior outside hitter led the Bears to the D-II semis and was named D-II First Team All-State for the second straight season, as well as the Dream Team. She led the team with 178 kills and 235 digs.
"She led Coe-Brown to the semis with her highly talented all-around play," said coach Rick Veno, "both defensively and offensively."
The senior outside hitter led the Hilltoppers to a superb second-half turnaround, which saw them go from 2-6 to 9-7, advancing to the D-II quarterfinals. She led the Hilltoppers with 171 kills and 244 digs, and was a repeat selection to the D-II All-State First Team and the Dream Team.
"Her leading by example pushed us the second half of the season," said coach Steve Hodsdon. "It's nice when the best player on the team is also your hardest worker."
St. Thomas Aquinas
The senior outside hitter was named D-II co-player of the year and earned first team all-state honors for the second straight year. She had 223 kills and 199 digs, leading the Saints to a 19-1 record and second straight trip to D-II championship. She's one of the most versatile players in the state.
"She was a leader on the court, a solid, consistent, all-around player with both great defensive and offensive skills, and our go-to player," said coach Holtz.
Portsmouth Christian
The senior outside hitter led the Eagles to the Division III quarterfinals and earned D-III First Team All-State honors. Roberts ended her PCA career with 551 kills, 683 digs and 164 aces.
"She is an enthusiastic team leader and great teammate," said PCA Athletic Director Derek Summers. "She is a very skilled player, but her passion for the game took her to the next level."
The senior setter led Dover with 530 assists, and 66 kills, earning D-I All-State First Team honors. She has signed a National Letter of Intent to play volleyball at Stonehill College. She finished her career with 910 assists.
"She's been a four-year starter and regarded by many coaches as one of the best setters in the state," said coach Harte. "She's an unselfish player, able to fill any role needed on the team."
The junior setter led the Rams with 484 assists, while adding 137 digs and 46 aces. She led the team to the D-III championship and was named D-III All-State First Team.
"She always had a positive attitude, knew where her teammates were supposed to be in rotation, and really ran our offense," said coach Kristin Wilson.
St. Thomas Aquinas
The junior libero had 336 digs and earned D-II First Team All-State honors, and was pivotal in leading the Saints to their second straight D-II final.
"Everything in volleyball starts with a good pass and Maria's strong defense was a big contribution to the team's success," said coach Holtz.
Oyster River
The senior libero and captain earned second team all-state honors in D-II, leading Bobcats with 226 digs. She finished her career with 503 digs.
"She was one of the top defensive players in Division II," said coach Brodeur. "She forced teams to hit around her if they wanted to score."
The senior libero earned D-I Second Team All-State honors. She had 300 digs and 30 aces and a 93 serving pct. in leading the Red Raiders to the D-I tournament with a 10-8 record.
"Gabby is a consummate team player with a never-say-die attitude," said coach George Pendleton. "She will play until the lights go out. She will do anything for the team to be successful."
HEIDI CLOUTIER, Nute — She was named D-III Second Team All-State. The junior middle hitter had 155 kills, 62 blocks and 49 aces. LEXI STRONG, Somersworth — The junior libero had 243 digs and surpassed 500 career digs. She was honorable mention in Division II. REGINA MASTROBATTISTA, St. Thomas — The senior outside hitter had 189 digs and 98 kills and was named D-II Second Team All-State. EMMA EASLER, Coe-Brown — The sophomore middle hitter had 120 kills and 68 blocks and was named D-II Second Team All-State.

The QA group co-ordinates release validation test events before each Fedora release and pre-release is made, to ensure they reach Fedora_Release_Criteria. Testing covers the installation process and key desktop functionality. There are also some tests for specific spins. This page provides guidance on arranging and announcing such a release validation test event. For any concerns, please contact the QA group.
Look up the date
Validation test events are held for each candidate build: test compose or release candidate. Several of these builds are made in the period one or two weeks before the release date for any given milestone (Alpha, Beta and Final). See quality task schedule for specific dates, listed as Test 'version' Test Compose or Test 'version' Candidate. Then make the following preparations with reference to those dates.
Track image creation tickets
Find the image creation ticket from this list. There are separate live image and installer image tickets for the TC and RC builds for each milestone of each release: so four tickets per milestone, twelve tickets per release. Add yourself to the CC list. Then keep tracking this ticket until the images are available. If the images are not posted on time as scheduled or have a critical bug, please inform the rel-eng team about this by adding comments to the ticket.
Create test result pages and categories
Test result pages are needed to gather test results of installation and desktop against Fedora candidate builds. Refer to QA:Create_Install_Test_Result_Page for guidance to create an installation result page using QA:Fedora 32_Install_Results_Template. In a similar way, create a base result page using QA:Base_validation_results_template and a desktop result page using QA:Desktop_validation_results_template. If the candidate build you are announcing includes a Security Lab spin build, create a security lab result page using the QA:Security_Lab_validation_results_template.
Often you will need to dal with categories. For each release, there should be a category named Fedora (Release) Test Results, which should be a member of the category Test Results. For each milestone, there should be two categories - Fedora (Release) (Milestone) TC Test Results and Fedora (Release) (Milestone) RC Test Results - which should be members of the category Fedora (Release) Test Results. For the very first candidate build for each Fedora release - usually Alpha TC1 - you will need to edit the Fedora (Release) Test Results category page and make it a member of the Test Results category, and edit the Fedora (Release) (Milestone) TC Test Results category page and make it a member of the Fedora (Release) Test Results category. Then ensure that the results pages you create are made members of the Fedora (Release) (Milestone) TC Test Results category. For the following candidate builds, follow this general procedure to add category pages to the higher-level categories and categorize results pages as appropriate.
Please note that you can make some special changes to the result pages according to the practical situation, such as copying parts of previous results to the new result page, highlighting critical cases, adding important notes etc.
Change current links and IRC topic
One or two days before test event day, update the following redirect links and make sure they point to the pages you created:
- Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test
- Test_Results:Current_Base_Test
- Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test
- Test_Results:Current_Security_Lab_Test
Also change the topic of #fedora-qa (freenode) to current test event (if you have the permission).
Make announcements
Currently, we announce validation test events to the test-announce mailing list. The announcement mail should provide enough information related to the test focus areas. See an example which generally includes:
- Introduction of this test event (date, what to test, which release criteria to meet, etc)
- For composes after TC1, a note of changes from the last compose or a link to the compose request trac ticket which provides this info
- How and where to add test results
- Contact information of QA members who are available on test event and can help testers who encounter problems
- Others to be emphasized
Download links should not be contained in the announcement, since in general there are several download options, and these are already documented on the result pages. The announcement should direct people to go to these pages for download instructions.
Please announce this event on the mailing list at least one or two days in advance. This should give testers sufficient time to arrange their calendars and prepare a test environment. It is also a good idea to send a reminder e-mail the day before the test. Try to take timezones into account, to maximize convenience for testers from different regions or countries.
Supplemental announcements
It can be helpful to send supplemental announcements to other interested groups. It is helpful to notify the major desktop groups - desktop, KDE, Xfce and LXDE - of each candidate build, and refer them to the desktop testing matrix. Here is an example announcement. If possible, it is a good idea to do a 'smoke test' on each desktop live image - ensure it boots successfully to a working desktop - before sending the announcement, to avoid wasting the time and bandwidth of the desktop group members downloading un-testable images.
Provide help during test event
During the test event, many people will participate, including experienced users and new comers. Make sure the QA folks whose contact information was announced to mailing list in this test event are available during the testing period. They will provide assistance to those who encounter issues. QA people should be available at:
- IRC: #fedora-qa on irc.freenode.net
- Mailing list: test list
- Reference of ways to communicate at Communicate
When a new candidate build available
If a new candidate build is made available for testing, such as TC2, TC3, RC3, you should re-do the entire process: create new test result pages for it, send out a new announcement, and update the redirects. The announcement should highlight the specific changes from the previous candidate build, as in this example.
Report and Summary

Here is a short presentation of our suppliers. A good complement to this information is to visit our suppliers' own web-sites by clicking their logotypes.
Tournament Sports in Waterloo, Ontario, not far from Toronto is one of our biggest suppliers. The shoe Tour Classic and the Ultima, the best-selling brush the Performance Fiberglass, gloves, trousers and much more all come from Tournament Sports. The company has an interesting co-operation going with one of the greatest curling players; Kevin Martin, who has won the Brier a number of times and who also has a fantastic technique as a curling player. Together with K Martin Tournament has developed a new curling shoe, the Ultima, which was brought into the Swedish market in the autumn of 2003.
Arnold Asham, a devoted curling player, introduced the RED BRICK SLIDER in 1978. This was a new slider, different from anything else the curling world had seen so far and definitely faster than any slider made at that time. A Asham made the shoes himself at home at this point, but he soon captured the curling world with his fantastic curling shoes. Today Asham Curling Supplies is one of the most well known trademarks in curling, with their large selection of curling products. We keep Asham Elite Curling shoes in stock, both with a Teflon slider and the classical Red Brick Slider. We also keep a number of other products from Asham Curling Supplies and are happy to help you order other products apart from those we have in stock from Asham.
Lino Di Ioro started with curling as late as in 1996. More or less immediately he changed the view on what the perfect curling shoe should look like. He developed and marketed his ideas within his company BalancePlus Sliders Inc. L. Di Ioro has since 1996 continued his devoted work with further technical development in our sport. He has e.g. a training centre and has also developed aides to match and measure the curl of the curling rock and its sliding ability. We keep the "Balance Plus DeLuxe – the shoe with a hole" in stock. This shoe is without doubt the ultimate curling shoe and has found itself being the obvious choice for most of the curling world elite.
Most of our products for the clubs come from The Thompson Rink Supplies, Manitoba. We sell handles for rocks, equipment for pebbling, measurement instruments, scrapers etc etc. Only a small part of the Thompson products are kept in stock, but we order continuously on behalf of the clubs and according to the clubs' requests. What we do keep in stock are handles in three colours, hacks and equipment for pebbling. Up till the 1990's The Thompson Broom was a great supplier of the classical broom.
The idea for The Stabilizer was developed by Earl Morris, a devoted curler and father of one of the really great promises for the future: John Morris, twice gold medallist in the Junior World Championships. The first prototype of The Stabilizer came in use in 1995. One year later the Canadian Curling Association (CCA) decided to approve of its use as sliding equipment. The selling of The Stabilizer started during the following years and is now a common help for the curler to achieve the perfect balance and stability. We keep The Stabilizer FS1 in stock and can also order other products from The Stabilizer selection.
The 8-ENDER has been a very well known trademark within the curling sport for a long time. The 8-ENDER used to be one of the great producers of the classical curling broom. The 8-ENDER is a trademark owned by Furgale Industries Ltd. Furgale is constantly developing new curlingproducts for the market. We keep the company's biggest product the 8-ENDER Transformer and the classical horse hair brush 8-ENDER Iceman 6" and 8" in stock. The reason for the name "transformer" is because you can change the brush head's angle to get as close to the rock as possible, but you can also change the synthetic brush head to a conventional horse hair brush head if wanted.
Rockwatcher. One important development within the technical side of curling is the use of timekeeping to help judging the speed of the rocks and the changes of the ice during a game. The elite in Swedish curling used timekeeping as early as in the 80's and Swedish teams were the first to use stop-watches during the World Championships. In the beginning the timekeeping was a method to measure how fast the rock went across the ice and to see how that might change during the game. From the middle of the 1990's though, it has become more and more common to also measure the speed that the curler him- or herself deliver the rock. To "split-time" is something almost every elite team do. While taking the split-time it's essential to have the watch close by as well as being able to keep focus on sweeping. For that matter The Rockwatcher is an unbeatable help. Do as the rest of the world's curling elite – get yourself a Rockwatcher!
Curling Clubs should all have in place a plan of action when it comes to their stones. At some point in time, all curling clubs will have to do something with their stones. Being the most important part of a curling club, the question then arises, how and when will a club know if they have problem stones? Canada Curling Stone supplies new stones and recondition old. Contact us and we can help you and your club with reconditioning of your old stones!
We stock brushes and pads from Hardline. Hardline also has a number of other products, such as pants, gloves and shoes.

America, we need to wake up and look in the mirror. Staring back at us is the ugly truth: We are the problem. If we don't come to grips with reality and change direction, the most advanced nation in the world is going to lose its coveted place.

Coming financial aid timing changes are geared toward student success
Starting Autumn Semester 2013, changes in the timing of several financial aid procedures will enhance overall accountability and student success. The coming changes are not complicated, but being aware of them and planning for them is important for everyone.
An informational campaign for employees and students will begin soon explaining the modifications—which are mostly related to timing—and the rationale behind them.
The changes will:
Add an earlier faculty reporting period (3rd week of semester) to track the meaningful progress of financial aid recipients in their courses. This will be done electronically.
Result in a later release of financial aid refunds to eligible students, beginning between the fifth and sixth weeks of the semester. This refund will happen after the student's progress is confirmed by the first faculty report. The delay also will align the timing of all student financial aid refund disbursements.
While students initially may feel inconvenienced by the changes, the changes will ultimately benefit all of us. Careful budgeting for the new timing of refunds and participating fully in class work are behaviors that contribute to student success. Evaluating early academic participation and attendance will increase chances for academic success for students who remain enrolled. Also, early identification of students who can't or don't continue their studies decreases accumulation of student debt.
Watch future issues of Update and your college email for more information about the modifications and for related materials as they become available. Additional materials have been placed on the Intranet (not available off campus), including: FAQs, Timing Changes: The Basics, and What will/won't be modified Autumn Semester 2013.
Feel free to email questions to email@example.com.

OU professor to lecture on Anime at Delaware Campus April 23
Anne Cooper-Chen, Professor Emerita, E.W. Scripps School of Journalism, will give a presentation titled "Anime Goes Global: Fans from Around the World," on Tuesday, April 23 at 6:00 p.m. in Moeller Hall on the Delaware Campus. The presentation is free and open to the public.
The first 25 attendees will receive a copy of Dr. Cooper-Chen's latest book. Japanese-themed snacks will be served.
According to Dr. Cooper-Chen, "the talk about Japanese animation, the un-Disney, draws on original interviews that the author conducted for her book Cartoon Cultures. The fans represent both genders and a broad range of cultures and media systems; they come from Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hungary, Tunisia and Taiwan. The author found that anime responds to more human needs than even a fan's domestic media.
Dr. Anne Cooper-Chen, a professor emerita in Ohio University's EW Scripps School of Journalism, received her M.A. in Japanese Studies from the University of Michigan and Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. She has more than 10 years' full-time media experience, beginning with her first job out of college at an English-language daily newspaper in Tokyo. Cooper-Chen is the author of Cartoon Cultures (2010), Mass Communication in Japan (1997) and three other books. She was a Fulbright Senior Research Scholar in Japan in 1992-93 and a visiting professor at Musashi University, Tokyo, in 2009.
This event is sponsored in part by a U.S. Department of Education Title VI Grant. For more information, contact: Michelle Attias-Goldstein at 614-247-6839, or email email@example.com.

I've not long joined CBHS from another fund, but so far I've been impressed by the super helpful and friendly staff, the higher claim limits and rebates at a very competitive premium, and how easy it is to lodge manual claims through the app. Thanks CBHS - you've won me over! 😃
- Jessica B
What I love about CBHS is their customer service - friendly staff and always ready to help and email you the information you ask about. Keep up the great work!!!

NEW ORLEANS (AP) Bryant McKinnie stood in the middle of the Superdome and marveled at the spectacle that surrounded him.
Behind the Baltimore Ravens giant left tackle, several of the team's most notable stars were seated individually at raised tables. Each space featured huge name plates and was surrounded by a blockade designed to keep the throng of interviewers at a reasonable distance. It was, after all, media day at the Super Bowl.
McKinnie looked over his shoulder in amusement. His assignment Tuesday was to simply to stand among the masses and field questions from people who crowded in with microphones held high to catch a few words from the 6-foot-8, 354-pounder.
Those who kept their arms raised long enough to hear McKinnie tell the story of his season were rewarded with quite a tale, one that began with a pay cut and ended with a starting role in his first NFL championship game.
``It's been a long, strange journey, but I like the way it's ending so far,'' McKinnie said. ``One step farther, I can complete it with a ring.''
Before starting his 11th training camp in the NFL, McKinnie was asked to accept less money because the Ravens needed to clear some salary-cap space. After a good bit of grumbling, he was OK with an incentive-laden contract.
But McKinnie's run of 60 straight starts ended in the opener, when coach John Harbaugh opted to start Michael Oher at left tackle and use McKinnie solely as a backup.
In his unaccustomed role off the bench, McKinnie hurt his hip in a game against Dallas on Oct. 14. When right tackle Kelechi Osemele got hurt the following week in Houston, McKinnie got the chance to steal away a starting spot. But he aggravated his hip injury and ended up back on the bench. One week after another went by without the opportunity to start.
Finally, before the season finale against Cincinnati, McKinnie was told by Harbaugh to prove he was healthy.
``The coach was like, `Show me that you're healed. Show me that you can move,''' McKinnie recalled. ``In the Cincinnati game, he said, `I'm going to let you play, show me you're back healthy.'''
McKinnie came off the bench and played well. In that game, left guard Jah Reid hurt his toe and was subsequently placed on injured reserve. So, in the playoff opener against Indianapolis, the Ravens put McKinnie back at his old left tackle spot, moved Oher to right tackle and plugged Osemele into Reid's spot.
It proved to be a winning combination. Now 3-0 with McKinnie as a starter, the Ravens look to complete their run Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.
``This is a great reward,'' McKinnie said. ``I waited for my time and was able to step in there and help the team go to where it wants to be.''
Funny how things work in the NFL.
``What's Bryant been through can't be overstated,'' Ravens center Matt Birk said. ``All year, to sit and wait and wait. To his credit, he kept himself ready, kept himself in shape. He kept himself mentally ready to go. He didn't play all year, and here's (Indianapolis end) Dwight Freeney. The next week, here's (Denver's) Elvis Dumervil and Von Miller. The man's done a great job. It's a tribute to his attitude and work ethic.''
Maybe it's because of Reid's toe, or perhaps it was just McKinnie's time. Whatever the reason, Baltimore's offensive front is better than it's been all season.
``McKinnie has played well for them, and it had a domino effect,'' San Francisco defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said. ``They put Oher at right tackle, who's playing right tackle better than the guy they had in there. They moved (Osemele) to left guard and he's playing that position better than the guy they had in there.''
The 33-year-old McKinnie, meanwhile, is feeling the benefit of limited playing time from September through December.
``I'm fresher than anybody else,'' he said.
His task in the Super Bowl will be to help neutralize 49ers right tackle Justin Smith, a 12-year veteran playing with a partially torn left triceps.
``McKinnie has been a good player in this league for a long time,'' Smith said. ``I think the run they've been on, he's out there playing real good football. The mix of their offensive line right now is really working for them. They're playing the best football when they need it.''
