Josiah Meigs Teaching Professors 2017
Five faculty members will be honored as Meigs Professors April 17 at the 2017 Faculty Recognition Banquet at the Georgia Center. The professorship is the university's highest recognition for instruction at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Meigs Professors receive a permanent salary increase of $6,000 and a one-year fund of $1,000 for academic support.
James E. 'Jeb' Byers, Professor and Associate Dean for Administrative Affairs and Research, Odum School of Ecology
According to Jeb Byers, effective teaching requires excellent organization and command of the material, enthusiasm and—most importantly—immersive engagement.
"It is insufficient to talk about a subject," he said. "Students must experience it."
Whether teaching a 200-person lecture course, mentoring an undergraduate ecology major or advising a doctoral student, Byers puts this philosophy into practice, and students respond. Their experience might be in the form of a field trip, a laboratory experiment or a classroom exercise where they play the role of a pregnant barnacle that must develop strategies for maximizing the survival of larvae—but the result is transformative.
Byers, a marine ecologist, joined the Odum School in 2008 after seven years at the University of New Hampshire. Shortly after arriving he became graduate coordinator, a position he held until 2016. In that role, he led a revision of the graduate curriculum and introduced a new graduate seminar course in cross-disciplinary ecology.
Under his watch, Odum School students received 14 NSF Graduate Research Fellowships—36 percent of those received at UGA, the highest percentage of any unit on campus.
Furthermore, all 12 of his completed doctoral and master's students—he is currently advising five more—have gone on to land competitive jobs at institutions like Boston University, the University of Washington and NOAA.
Even while serving as graduate coordinator and running a successful research program, Byers has had a major impact on undergraduate education. He teaches courses in ecology and marine biology, including an Honors course, Ecosystems of the World, and a First-Year Odyssey Seminar, Ecology of Invasive Species, that he developed. He is a core faculty member in the NSF-sponsored Population Biology of Infectious Diseases Research Experience for Undergraduates program at UGA, has advised 15 Honors students and mentored more than 60 undergraduates in directed research.
Byers also has shared his teaching methodology with UGA colleagues, co-facilitating a popular Faculty Learning Community, "Nexus Classroom: Where Teaching and Research Coalesce," through the Center for Teaching and Learning in 2014-2015.
"Full immersion and engagement empowers students," Byers said. "It also invigorates me and continues to intensify my passion for teaching."

Markus Crepaz, Professor of Political Science and Department Head, School of Public and International Affairs
If a phrase could accurately describe the effect of Markus Crepaz's teaching, it would be: a transformative experience. Crepaz makes his students active participants in the learning process.
In 2008, Crepaz co-created the Stellenbosch Study Abroad program in South Africa. It is a program that students credit with changing their lives as well as their passions. Under his leadership, Crepaz helped to set up a partnership with the organization Vision Afrika that allows students to interact with children in an after-school program in a nearby township as part of their required coursework.
This community engagement is the heart of experiential learning as it allows UGA students to catch a glimpse into the challenges South Africa has faced in trying to overcome apartheid. This Politics of Development course brings to life issues such as poverty, income inequality and racial discrimination that otherwise may seem like abstractions in the lecture halls at UGA.
"Making personal connections, establishing meaningful relationships and employing all senses is what experiential learning is all about," said Crepaz. "Being there with the students at this nexus between their experiences and my teaching makes me an interpreter of their daily observations. It is perhaps my favorite part of teaching. When personal experience triggers a desire for wanting to understand, teaching becomes a collective endeavor that weaves seamlessly between theories, observations and practice."
Crepaz constantly challenges his students' world views and presses them to eliminate personal bias by looking at the world with depth and applying what they've learned to the outside world, something his students appreciate both abroad and in the classroom.
"I can't emphasize enough the impact [Crepaz] had not only on my education, but also on my world view and ambition ... when I came home from South Africa that summer, I returned with a newfound passion for human rights and development; since then it has been my goal to advocate for those limited by the often inescapable cycle of poverty," said Sydney Stringer, a 2011 Stellenbosch participant.
Similarly, students have experienced Crepaz's engaging, passionate teaching style on campus in courses such as his upper division Politics, Film and Literature and graduate research design courses. His challenge for students to see past the obvious is posed within the classroom, often asking questions such as "so what?" and "what's the puzzle?" earning him the affectionate nickname of "Dr. Crepuzzle."

John Maerz, Professor of Vertebrate Ecology, Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources
Students in John Maerz's First-Year Odyssey seminar courses in animal behavior and herpetology quickly discover that learning is a "participatory sport" in his classroom.
Maerz has been teaching for more than a decade, and in that time, he realized the more memorable he can make a particular lesson, the more ingrained it will become in his students.
"Learning is just memory," Maerz said. "If you learn something briefly and don't reinforce it, that memory will wither and die. But if we take that and we either practice it repetitively or make it highly memorable—so memorable that you remember that day you learned something because it was so out of the norm—then that memory is reinforced."
It's an atypical approach to teaching large lecture classes, but it's earned Maerz high praise from students and colleagues alike.
"Whether you (are) searching for plastic lizards in Whitehall to learn about calculating population estimates, drawing anurans (tailless amphibians) in class to think about how form tells about function or writing your own key to turtles of Georgia, he never simply lets his students sit back and listen," said Theresa Stratmann, a former student who is now pursuing her doctorate.
Maerz is the kind of professor who is immortalized in movies and television shows but rarely exists in the real world, Stratmann said. His classes are challenging for students, with some syllabi warning that his classes will require much out-of-classroom work and more writing than might typically be expected in a science course.
"Writing is such a fundamental skill; it's a way of thinking through problems," Maerz said. "Writing forces you to condense your ideas, line them up logically and defend them with clear evidence."
Maerz's end goal for his students isn't just a beautifully polished paper but learning the process involved in researching, writing and revising one's work.
"I never see my class as the end all, like you're going to learn how to do X here," he said. "What I'm going to do is give you a foundation, get you thinking about it and get you excited about it."
Maerz is more than just a teacher for his students. He's a mentor who helps them discover their passions and instills the confidence they need to achieve their goals.
"If you find something that feels really intuitive to you, really gets you excited and you seem to understand it more than your average bear would, then go farther with it," Marez said. "Pursue it."

Annette Poulsen, Sterne Professor of Banking and Finance, Terry College of Business
The term finance does not adequately cover what Annette Poulsen, the Sterne Professor of Banking and Finance, teaches to her students every day. Far beyond textbook problems, Poulsen is a dedicated instructor whose lessons delve into critical thinking and distill complex issues down to their core.
"Dr. Poulsen's impact on me was not confined to the four walls of Brooks Hall or the syllabus. She had an exceptional way of relating to and inspiring her students," wrote former student Morgan McCorkle Redd. "Not only did I begin to keep up with financial news, gain an interest in case studies around my degree and get honest advice about my career—I also ran my first marathon, in part because of professor Poulsen."
Poulsen's supportive demeanor, good advice and availability outside the classroom made the deepest impression on students—from First-Year Odyssey freshmen to doctoral candidates.
Her capacity to inspire students and her confidence in their abilities are a constant refrain in her teaching evaluations, as is her hallmark of drawing examples from current events that relate to the course material.
Poulsen's commitment to student learning runs deep. Since she began overseeing the $1.4 million Student Managed Investment Fund, the program utterly transformed from a professor-led exercise to a groundbreaking experiment in business pedagogy.
"Instead of lecturing and controlling the course, she innovatively passed the baton to student leadership, empowering them to lead, organize and conduct the normal course of business. That led to an amazing breakthrough in the learning experience that will forever set this program apart from others in the country and, more importantly, impact every student who has the opportunity to experience SMIF," said former student Mitch Reiner.
Poulsen has developed new and interesting courses to serve students across a variety of platforms. She created a new course for Terry students studying abroad in China that focused on cultural understanding and China's nontraditional market economy. For the Terry@Oxford program, she incorporated extensive writing work into her class to reflect the kind of coursework done with Oxford tutors.
She also was instrumental in developing the college's first hybrid MBA program, taught some of its first Executive MBA students and was a leader in designing the first Online MBA program at Terry and has helped develop courses for the Online BBA program as well.

Karen Russell, Jim Kennedy New Media Professor and Associate Professor of Public Relations, Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication
Karen Russell begins each new session of her Online Reputation Management course discussing the difference between reputation and character. She is well qualified to lead this conversation considering that she has a powerhouse online reputation that frequently lands her on lists of top Tweeters. More importantly, her character as a professor makes lasting impacts on her students who stay in touch years after their studies and influences public relations educators and professionals alike.
In addition to teaching students about the power and pitfalls of social media, Russell also teaches public relations campaigns courses, as well as graduate level courses in media history, public relations management and the department's 4+1 master's degree program.
Russell not only inspires her students, but she also has had a major impact on the field of public relations education, too. She authored one of the first blogs in the industry, "Teaching PR," and recently wrapped up six years editing The Journal of PR Research, a journal for PR theory development.
Russell's teaching also influenced Marie Hardin during her doctoral studies at Grady College. Hardin serves as dean of the College of Communications at Penn State.
"Dr. Russell is a deeply caring and engaging teacher who seeks to connect her material to students," Hardin said. "She focuses on learning and on making knowledge relevant and accessible. She asks students to participate in the learning process, and she holds them accountable for doing so."
Cory McCollum, a 2011 graduate, echoes those themes of engagement and self-learning. "There was a feeling that you were walking into a living room more than a classroom," McCollum said. "Learning from Dr. Russell throughout the entire semester felt like a conversation. It was like she had tricked me into learning. How wonderful is that?"
Russell, who has taught at Grady College since earning her doctorate in 1993, said the ever-changing field and classroom conversations keep her motivated. While she hopes to prepare her students professionally, she also hopes some of her classroom lessons become life lessons.
"It's about collaboration and teamwork-that's how it actually works in the real world," Russell said. "Invariably a student will complain that so-and-so didn't pull their weight. My standard response is 'life is a group project.' There aren't very many things that they are going to do where they aren't going to depend on other people doing their part, as well."

Evolution of cows
Interview with
Kat - And speaking of sequencing and things like that, earlier in the program we heard from Mark Thomas, who's looking at human evolution and cultural evolution. And is there a nice story I noticed about cows. So what's going on here?
Nell - I really like this. So they were looking at DNA from ancient cow ancestral fossils from Iran, in fact. That's quite interesting because they've taken these bones from a very hot desert environment and still somehow managed to get DNA out they can use to figure out what the DNA sequences were back in those ancestors of cattle. And this kind of made people go, you know, "Ooh Jurassic Park, you know, we can recreate prehistoric cows". I got very excited. They're not quite there obviously. But it's interesting to see how you got this very small population of cattle that were initially domesticated and that has given rise to all the kinds of cows we have today. So it's quite cool.
Kat - Also it's cool in as well the point that they're making the, in the story also that these were Aurochs, big ox things. Now even when you start domesticating things like that, it's going to be tricky. So I think it's probably a number of years before they really got them domesticated. So, the early life of a cattle herder...
Nell - Yeah. It might have been more scary.

You Owe More on Your Orange County, CA Home than It's Worth & You Don't Know What to Do – Options 1 and 2 – Reinstatement & Forbearance
This is a series for people who are "upside" down in their homes and looking to learn about their options. For the introduction see You Owe More on Your Orange County, CA Home than It's Worth & You Don't Know What to Do .
Many people don't realize that when you owe more on your Orange County, CA home than it's worth and you don't know what to do, when you are having trouble making your payments and are facing a potential foreclosure, that there are several things you might be able to do. This series will discuss the many different options so that you are informed if you are facing this situation.
Option 1 – Reinstatement
Reinstatement means that you pay the loan current including all past due amounts, charges and fees to bring your mortgage completely current.
- No longer facing the threat of foreclosure.
- Loan will be completely up to date.
- Credit begins to get better over time now that the mortgage company is no longer reporting lates.
- Most people facing foreclosure don't have this amount of money readily available.
This option may be good for people who receive a large bonus, are paid on commission and have a large one come in or are able to get a gift or loan from family and friends.
Option 2 – Forbearance
Forbearance occurs when the borrower obtains a payment plan with the bank to bring the loan current over a certain period of time, while the borrower gets back on their feet. This may include making some of the past due payments due at the end of the loan period but often means paying back the entire amount over several months.
- Suspends foreclosure proceeding while payments are made timely.
- Allows borrower time to catch up.
- Brings account up to date during specified period.
- It may be difficult for someone already having difficulty making payments to pay additional amounts to catch up.
This may be good for people who are expecting a change for the better in their finances or had a temporary setback in their income.
We know what your options are when you owe more on your home than it's worth and don't know what to do, and we will share it with you over the next few weeks.

I would like to submit a postscript to the recent Law Society election in connection with the size of the vote.
A turnout of only 36 per cent does appear particularly low, familiar to all followers of municipal elections. And it is depressing to have to accept that the same level of apathy applies to members of the Law Society. The profession's lack of response is shameful.
The approximate percentages of the total electorate obtained by the candidates are not great – Mears 18 per cent, Hodge 13 per cent and Pembridge 5.5 per cent. This suggests no candidate had any particular appeal or that 64 per cent of the electorate was willing to accept any of the candidates. It would, therefore, be ill-advised of Law Society members to proceed as if Mears only appealed to a minority.
Perhaps the most baffling aspect of the result is that anyone thought the turnout would be in excess of 40,000 – between 60 per cent and 70 per cent of the electorate. Not only was this conclusion wrong but it was compared with the average turnout for trade union and professional body elections. Therefore, it is made worse by the fact predictions of double that figure had been made officially.
How could this have happened? The only explanation which occurs is that someone has looked at the total number of votes cast (which reached a figure for valid votes in the two elections of 46,140) and concluded that these were all separate voting papers, forgetting that in most cases, each individual item represented two votes by the same solicitor in two different elections.

Star Plus' latest offering, Naamkaran helmed by Mahesh Bhatt, is being showered with appreciation from the audiences for its content and powerful performances. The show is currently showcasing a pivotal track, wherein Dayavanti plans to separate Ashish from Asha (Barkha Bisht).

Wetherby reveals plans to stage Flat fixtures
FOR many jumping devotees, Wetherby's opening fixture has come to mean the season is properly under way but racing, like the climate, is increasingly unpredictable. Distractions at the annual landmark yesterday included the last rites of the Flat jockeys' championship, a growing mutiny over race planning and, most surprisingly, news that this exemplary Yorkshire jumps track may soon diversify with Flat fixtures.
John Sanderson, chairman of Wetherby, revealed that plans have been drawn up to add a turf Flat track. "A large part of the motivation is that racing in the summer might help the business sustain and improve the standard of jumps races," he said.
"We even considered all-weather but quickly rejected it. The Jockey Club has seen our plan but not yet been…

Schneer v. Commissioner: Continuing Confusion Over the Assignment of Income Doctrine and Personal Service Income
58 Pages Posted: 13 Apr 2009
Date Written: 1993
This article will analyze the proper application of the assignment of income doctrine to personal service income. Part II will trace the historical development of the assignment of income doctrine and will analyze the doctrine's underlying rationale. The importance of distinguishing between gratuitous and nongratuitous assignments of income will be developed in this Part. Part Ill will present a number of hypothetical situations drawn from actual cases and rulings that involve the application of the doctrine to personal service income. This will both show the pervasiveness of the doctrine and lay the basis for further analysis. Part IV will demonstrate that the tests currently used by the Internal Revenue Service and the courts in these situations - the similarity test and the agency test - fail to provide either a rational or workable basis for solving these problems. Instead, they have resulted in a welter of unintelligible and irreconcilable decisions. Finally, Part V will show how reference to the doctrine's underlying purpose, and particularly to the basic distinction between gratuitous and nongratuitous assignments of income, solves many of the puzzles besetting the application of the doctrine.

While there are countless Mexican restaurants up and down the Wasatch front, only a select few make the grade, but which are worth your dining dollars? The following is our pick of the very best Mexican restaurants in Salt Lake City and the surrounding areas.
Hungry yet? Alamexo in downtown Salt Lake City is our pick for the best Mexican restaurant in Salt Lake City; we're also as proud as can be to count them as one of our Local Partners, businesses we love, trust and respect.
Alamexo is chef and owner Matt Lake's ode to the cuisine he loves and breathes. Open for dinner seven days a week, regulars love to start with guacamole – made fresh tableside in a lava rock molcajete. While you're watching your server create your guac to spec, you might also want to sip on one of Alamexo's great craft cocktails too.
From there maybe move onto Carne Asada Tacos ( adobo marinated flat iron steak, melted queso Oaxaca, pico de gallo & salsa de arbol) or Salmon Manchamanteles (slow cooked salmon filet with crispy bananas, pineapple pico de gallo & mole manchamanteles). This is cuisine everyone knows and loves, but crafted with refined precision and care.
Whatever you select, we guarantee you won't be disappointed. Lake and his crew make as much as they can in house, from daily salsas through complex moles and adobos – all sourced from top quality providers such as Niman Ranch.

(801) 779-4747
While many of the restaurants on this list focus on more modern approaches to Mexican dining, there's still plenty of room for good, old-school tex-mex style cooking. Cantina Southwestern Grill offers a menu that most folks will find instantly recognizable and accessible. Its just icing on the tres leches cake that the service is stellar and surroundings plush.
That's not to say the food is pedestrian by any means, among the combo plates, enchiladas, burritos and chimichangas, Cantina has a few culinary tricks up its sleeves too. While you chow down on chips and salsa (5 choices) from the help yourself bar, study the menu and you will discover dishes such as Steak Al Cognac ($15.95), Poblano Mole ($13.85) and Pan Seared Tilapia with Jalapeno-Cream Sauce ($12.95).

Frida Bistro was the first restaurant to deliver fine dining Mexican cuisine to Utah. Don't look for smothered burritos here, because what you will find is something entirely more rarefied and polished.
Indeed as soon as you walk through the door at Frida Bistro, you will realize this is not your typical Mexican restaurant. The eatery is is housed in a artfully rendered space, paying homage to their namesake – Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. First time visitors may find themselves looking at the stunning dining space as much as the equally eye popping food.
While dishes such as Chile en Nogada ($22, shredded beef, sundried fruit and nuts stuffed in a poblano pepper with walnut cream sauce, pomegranate seeds and asparagus) and Fideo de Mar ($26, shell fish and fin fish, fideo pasta, seafood broth and house made Mexican bread), might seem intimidating – every single one packs a punch of bold flavor.
The restaurant opens for lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday and also offers a special Saturday brunch menu, that promises to kick your weekend off in style.

Easily the most famous Mexican restaurant in town, if not Utah itself – is the Red Iguana. Featured on TV, and just about every single foodie publication worthy of merit, the Red Iguana, owned by the local Cardenas family, has served hungry Salt Lakers with award wining Mexican food for over two decades.
What brings regulars back time and again, causing queues lining up around the building? For one, a range of seven moles, each unique and spectacular in its own right. If you're the indecisive type you can even get a free Red Iguana mole sampler plate before choosing. And that's just the start – Chile Colorado ($11.49), Puntas De Filete A La Nortena ($15.99), Cochinita Pibil ($13.99) – the list goes on and on, just like the queues outside the front doors.

Taqueria 27 is the work of Todd Gardiner, former head chef of downtown SLC's Z'Tejas restaurant. After years running the kitchen for the chain eatery, Gardiner struck out on his own terms. The 27 in the name derives from a Gardiner family lucky number, but luck is far from needed when you put out cuisine like Taqueria 27 does: elevated, refined and darned delicious.
While the menu covers many bases, the focus is on gourmet street style tacos. Choose from selections like
Citrus Pork Carnitas ($6 for two, slow roasted and shredded, charred tomatillo salsa, pickled red onion, cilantro and chicharones) or Duck Confit ($6.50 for two, succulent duck with fire roasted veggies, chipotle crema and crispy leeks) while musing over T27's extensive tequila options.

Part of the fun in visiting Tarahumara, is the scenic drive into the mountains, leaving hazy, bustling SLC behind. Located in quiet Midway, Utah, the restaurant offers both family friendly dining, al fresco patio dining in the summer and a separate cantina area for the grown ups.
Star of the show at this Mexican restaurant is their exquisite salsa bar, replete with 20 selections – all made fresh, each and every day. Perhaps you will load up your carnitas with mouth watering condiments such as tomatillo-arbol or zanahoria habanero salsa – or instead – explore the unique salsa bar with gratis chips while sipping on an ice cold margarita. It's all good.

Blocking our ads means your killing our stats! Please disable your ad-block, or become a premium member to hide all advertisements and this notice. Hi guys. Need a little advice. So I've read through the MS press book for 271 and got on quite well. I did the end of chapter questions and scored 93%. I did all the questions in the back of the book the "part 2 - prepare for the exam" bit and scored 86%. So feeling rather pleased with myself I started to think about booking the exam but before I did it I thought i'd do an exam from the Readiness review suite on the CD. Ouch!! 66%....Fail. Hmmm not so encouraging. I did another 69%..hmm ..not much better. I found the questions far tougher and in depth than those from in the book which I breezed through. So I don't really know what to do. Judging by the Readiness review questions on the CD I need to lock myself in a room for a month or two learning almost every menu in XP!!! What do you guys think. Should I book the exam (I was thinking early next week) or are the CD questions a good indicator of the real level of difficulty of the 271 and I need more time???

Scotland's all-time leading wicket-taker Majid Haq has been sent home from the Cricket World Cup after posting a race-related tweet.
After not being selected for his side's 148-run defeat by Sri Lanka in Hobart, he tweeted: "Always tougher when you're in the minority! #colour #race" the post has since been deleted. Off-spinner Haq, 32, has taken 60 one-day international wickets. Haq was born in Scotland of Pakistani descent, he also scored three ODI half-centuries and opened the batting during the 2007 World Cup. However, Haq has struggled to make an impression at the 2015 tournament, which is taking place in Australia and New Zealand. He has collected just three wickets in four matches, while his best score with the bat is 31, made against fellow associate nation Afghanistan.
Scotland have lost all five of their matches – against New Zealand, England, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka – and have just one game remaining, against Australia in hobart on 14 March.
Haq took a flight home from Melbourn on Tuesday.
In the last 24 hours, he has also posted the following message on his Twitter account: "Make sure everybody in your 'boat' is rowing and not drilling holes when you're not looking. Know your circle

EUROPE'S JUSTIN ROSE is excited by the thought of firing up a home Ryder Cup crowd for the first time.
The world number six, whose previous two cup appearances were on foreign soil, did plenty to silence the American fans in his side's remarkable victory at Medinah in 2012.
Now he is hoping his performance will have the opposite effect on home supporters as Europe host the United States at Gleneagles this week.
The 34-year-old Englishman said: "Knowing that in the palm of your hand, let's say with a putter, you have the ability to light up a crowd in a situation, and that's exhilarating, obviously I can't wait to feel and experience that.
"But my goal is just to create those opportunities, to sort of put my game in a position and put my golf ball in a position where I can make that happen.
"Par putts for halves - probably you'll get a clap, but you want to be making birdies out there.
"I have to focus on my game rather than the environment, but I can't wait to sense the environment after playing well.
"I'm delighted to play a home Ryder Cup. That was definitely the goal that I set out a couple years ago. I'm really excited."
Rose was central to Europe's success two years ago as he secured a dramatic singles victory over Phil Mickelson. He followed that by going on to secure a maiden major title win at the 2013 US Open.
This week, however, most of the European focus has been on world number one Rory McIlroy and the team's heartbeat, Ian Poulter.
US captain Tom Watson has even spoken about targeting European "stud" McIlroy and Poulter.
Rose, whose Ryder Cup record boasts six points from nine, hopes this is a situation that can play out to his advantage and he can almost come in under the radar.
He said: "Yes, it could well help me. It probably frees up my mind to focus on the task and the job at hand.
"But I think the fact that Rory and Poulter are targeted might help them, too. That's the way we are hoping it will play out, anyway.

Did You Know?
English speakers borrowed "par force" from Anglo-French in the 14th century. Par meant "by" (from Latin per) and the Anglo-French word force had the same meaning as its English equivalent, which was already in use by then. At first, "perforce" meant quite literally "by physical coercion." That meaning is no longer used today, but it was still prevalent in William Shakespeare's lifetime (1564-1616). "He rush'd into my house and took perforce my ring away," wrote the Bard in The Comedy of Errors. The "force of circumstances" sense of "perforce" had also come into use by Shakespeare's day. In Henry IV, Part 2, we find ". . . your health; the which, if you give o'er to stormy passion, must perforce decay."

JOHN HUMPHRYS was busy laughing off any suggestion of his impending retirement yesterday after picking up a major award for his outstanding contribution to radio.
Accepting his Sony Radio Academy Gold award at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London, Humphrys, 59, joked, "This particular award should be renamed The OFA - The Old Farts Award."
And yesterday the normally irascible broadcaster remained in jocular mood, saying he had taken his latest honour as his "obituary".
"I'm sure it's a new way they've come up with for getting rid of me," suggested Humphrys whose career in broadcasting now spans 45 years and includes time at The Western Mail.
"It's my third award in the last month so it could be a question of them saying either, 'We are giving you these awards, now you can bugger off' or, 'These will do instead of a pay rise'.
"It's the sort of award you get when you are old. They look for people who have been around for a long time but can still hobble onto the stage."
Humphrys described himself as a believer in awards "only when I win them", but added, "I studiously avoid award ceremonies but then when you get an award you hear yourself saying perhaps there's a point in them.
"Of course I'm delighted. It's nice to be recognised by your peers. But the important thing, and this is not just humbug, is that it has come for the work I have done on Radio 4 which I do think is the most important cultural institution in this nation and has been for as long as I can remember.
"There was a period when everyone thought Radio 4 wasn't doing very well and it was all looking very dodgy for the station at one point.
"But that has all changed and all without any concessions to those who wanted it dumbed down."
As if to underline Humphrys's words, Radio 4 was named radio station of the year at the ceremony. And the same day the latest radio listener figures showed the station had recorded its highest audience for years, nudging above 10 million for the first time since industry body Rajar changed its data methods four years ago.
Since joining the Today programme 15 years ago, the Cardiff-born journalist has interviewed every major figure in British politics, often giving them a tough time.
In his acceptance speech he commented, "I thank Tony Blair and Gordon Brown and all those people who choose not to answer the questions - because if they answered the questions where would people like me be?"
And he added, "Radio 4 is the civilising influence in this country. I am proud beyond belief to be working for it."
At the ceremony, radio's equivalent of the Oscars, the station's Just A Minute show, still going strong after 35 years, won the comedy award.
Jonathan Ross celebrated a double win, beating rivals Stephen Fry and Ricky Gervais to the best entertainment prize for his Saturday morning show on Radio 2. He also picked up the 2002 award for his mix of music, special guests and irreverent chat.
The judges praised him for his "speed of thought, natural wit and ability to transform even the most mundane of thoughts into entertaining broadcasting".
Fry was nominated for his Classic FM show while Gervais was shortlisted for his weekly slot on Xfm.
Motormouth DJ Christian O'Connell was named Britain's best breakfast show host.
The Xfm DJ and Channel 5 presenter triumphed over last year's winner, Radio 2 veteran Terry Wogan.
O'Connell's show on the London indie station famously broadcast a live vasectomy operation earlier this year. He has been dubbed the new Chris Evans and became a household name when he took over from Chris Moyles to host the daily Channel 5 show Live With...
Sony award winners were chosen by a panel of 100 judges.
Saga Radio, for the over-50s, won digital terrestrial station of the year.

Guinea pigs are curious and like entertainment from time to time. You can't play with your guinea pig like you would play with a dog, but guinea pigs also like some activity and challenges. It is easy to tell when a guinea pig wants to play or would rather be left alone.
No matter what kind of game, activity or challenge, guinea pigs can be quickly animated with food. Besides offering entertainment to their owners, playing and engaging with your guinea pigs reveals their different personalities and characteristics. It is also a good idea to play with your guinea pigs to make them tamer and thus more willing to learn tricks.
Playing with guinea pigs or keeping them busy is not a necessity. As long as they have enough friends/ animals of the same species, sufficient space to run/ exercise and a spacious cage with dens, toys, etc, guinea pigs will be happy. If guinea pigs were to practice their natural behaviour completely, they wouldn't need entrainment from humans. Even though they wouldn't miss playing or entertainment, it is interesting for them to be challenged (mentally) every now and then.
This DIY section offers a couple of ideas of how to entertain/ challenge your guinea pigs with homemade toys. Please bear in mind, that guinea pigs shouldn't be forced to play and that you should always have an eye on them while playing. If you have additional ideas for activities, toys, etc. or questions, please feel free to email me.

Conference paper
Evaluating the singular integrals arising in MPIE formulations with a double-exponential algorithm
Novel generalized Cartesian product rules for the computation of weakly singular integrals, arising in the mixed potential integral equation formulations are presented in this paper. The key feature of the proposed integration schemes lies in the incorporation of the double exponential quadrature rule, originally developed by Takahasi and Mori in the mid-seventies for the integration of functions with singularities at the endpoints of the associated integration interval.

Many new design features added to this model including the bumpers on the side of the drone to protect the propellers while using the drone indoors or outdoors. The anti-vibration rubbers located at the base of the drone, and the replaceable batteries which will give you about 12 minutes of flight.
Parrot didn't announce the pricing for the Bebop drone yet. I am hoping the price will be decent!
Will, you are not going to literally fly with it, because that would be cool, and technology is not there yet. But the Bebop drone comes with the ability to be integrated with the Oculus Rift virtual reality headsets. So you will be able to see everything from a first person view.
Using the Parrot Skycontroller you can connect your tablet to the controller, and have a better control over the drone. At the same time the controller will extend your WiFi range.
What do you think? Do you think drones are ready to be used more in public? Or you think they are not there yet? Please comment below

After 7 months of clash with urban music station Soundcity, P-square finally reconciles their differences with the music station.
It all started sometime in 2015 Psquare and Olamide Adedeji, Channel Manager of Soundcity came for each other on Twitter after it emerged that Soundcity purposely boycotts Psquare videos on their channel.
But now, it seems all is now forgotten as both Peter and Paul via their Instagram pages thanked both Soundcity CEO Tajudeen Adepetu and Olamide Adedeji for giving peace a chance.

Ever wonder how you can align the employees in your organisation
through a consolidated analytical framework and a single source of truth?
One of the oldest and most misguided thoughts about business intelligence is that it is a glorified tool for analytics reporting. How many times have we heard the annoying question, "oh, why don't you just use Excel for that?"
As a business owner, you require an inventory management system that insures the next order you place is the right quantity both for you and your customers and for your business.
Frankly, without an inventory management system you do not know whether or not the next order that your Buyer or even you place, will result in excess stock or a stock out.
Microsoft yesterday announced the upcoming release of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016, and they made clear that it's a new NAV deeper in the cloud, easier on integrators and of course, on users. Microsoft had previously code named the release "Corfu" leaving open whether it would be a minor release as 2012 R2 or a major release.

Belvedere Palace: A Beautiful View of Vienna!
There can be no doubt that standing at the top of the Belvedere palace one has a 'beautiful view' of the city of Vienna. It says so right there in the name, after all, and who could argue with the Italian translation of an Austrian palace built by a French Prince/General?
The convoluted origins of the palace's name are just the beginning, as the palace itself continues this mixed-message trend. Split into two parts, the Upper and Lower Belvedere are connected by a manicured garden the runs downhill between the two. This 1700's palace is now home to both an impressive permanent collection of medieval, classical, expressionist, and more artwork (including the world's largest Gustav Klimt collection) in the Upper Belvedere as well as a rotating selection of traveling exhibitions in the Lower.
Added to these two main gallerys are the small Palace Stables and Orangery on the Belvedere grounds and the nearby Winter Palace and 21er House (both within walking distance); all of which are included on the Belvedere's combined ticket.
I've been to Belvedere Palace twice, though the first visit I only visited the Lower Palace and Orangery while the second was part of a group tour I was working on that just walked through the gardens. I would happily go back next time I'm in Vienna, and this is the kind of place where between museums/gardens/coffee shops one could very easily spend an entire day. What can I say, there's a pretty beautiful view!
Essential Info:
Prinz-Eugen-Straße 27
1030 Wien
To get here, take the U1 to 'Sudtirolerplatz' (from where the palace is a 5-10 minute walk) or the Tram D to the 'Schloss Belvedere' stop. Otherwise, the palace is an easy walk from Schwarzenbergplatz and the sweet little cafe there.
Opening Hours: 10:00 to 18:00 for all of the museums and palace grounds, with the Stables and Orangery open until 21:00 on wednesdays.
Admission: Varies depending on what you want to see. The gardens are free, but each of the galleries charge admission. For the combined Upper/Lower/Orangery ticket expect €19.00, or €16.50 with a Vienna 72hr City Card (which also covers your tram/metro trip). For these plus the 21er House and Winter Palace, prices are €30/€27.00.
If you're looking for somewhere to stay in Vienna, I really enjoyed the Hostel Ruthensteiner for a chill hangout while Wombats was an interesting party hostel if you're so inclined.

For around £30-40 per night this hotel does what you'd expect. I've read other reviews and wondered a little what people were expecting for the price. It is a basic hotel, clean but not spotless with pleasant effective staff from my experience.
It has a large pleasant foyer, petit taxis outside for which 25Dirhams gets you most places with some haggling, and smallish but functional rooms. We had to swap hours as the double bed we booked was two-singles but that was done with no fuss. Ours had working air-con (though it was a different unit from the original fitted to the room) & some great English speaking TV channels with movies on for free (Channel 2). All the floors were regularly bleached & mopped though occasionally the doors etc looked like they had some splashes up them from that kind of cleaning.
Being completely honest, the rooms were much smaller & older than the website pictures so i'm guessing there may be a slowish refurb going on. Also, having stayed quite a bit in Marrakech, the breakfast is quite limited by comparison to others (mainly breads & a little cereal). It was also quite chaotic & we ended up having to sit at tables that had not been cleaned from previous guests.
The only other minor downside was the hotel had a coach-party or two whilst we were there - given the price not that surprising. They arrived late, talked in the corridors until later & then were up early often shouting/dragging luggage about.
Overall though a perfectly acceptable hotel for the price & as I say you really are paying for a good central location - you can walk to some nice local restaurants (Bagatelle, Jo's, Trattoria) & shops in 5mins. Go with lower expectations than the website pictures (+ skip the b'fast) & use it as a base to enjoy the city!

Husan ko behizab hona tha
Sauk ko kamyab hona tha
Jism badal jaate hai
Chahre badal jaate hai
Magar na khushoo badlti hai
Aur na mohabbat.
Kyun muskuraye rukh se
Uthakar neekab ko..
Kuch bizaliyon ne gher liya aaftab ko
Zindagi mein suru aur caps chahiye
To apne aap ko sagar mein dubo do
Hume jamane ki ardishon ne
Mazak bana diya..

My wife and I purchased our first washer and dryer from funds we received from wedding gifts. This was one of the first, and biggest, declamations we made as we moved into marital bliss, "we are officially married folk". We were thinking that this would be great way to spend our wedding gifts. My father-in-law mentioned his washer and dryer lasted him twenty years, further concreting my thoughts on the decision. After twelve years of marriage my wife and I have replaced our dryer twice and washer once. A few bouts of still wet clothes in the dryer lately lead me to believe we might move on to dryer number four soon. The old adage, "they don't make 'em like they used to" comes to mind. Really, with all the advances in technology why can we not have a washer and dryer that at least will last ten years? I mean, I'm not asking for the moon am I.
This leads me to the music education component of this post. While in the world of washers and dryers the adage might be appropriately applied. I fear, though, that in music education we believe this as well. "We don't educate music students, or students in general, like we used to" and therefore need to go back to the way it was done before. There is something in us as educator's that believe the world of education was better then than now. We did make washers and dryers that lasted twenty years, right? My fear is that we are stuck in an old mindset when it comes to music education. Musicians were better then, musicians appreciated "good" music then, etc., etc., etc. What we have done is move backwards, embracing old systems and wanting a return to old results, results that exalted good music (read here classical) and turned our noses at bad music (read here pop-music).
In the early part of the twentieth century art music was appreciated, so they say, primarily expressed in seats being filled in concert halls. The music educating that was going on then worked, they would say. In today's world where classical music is a blip on the radar screen of the iTunes recently downloaded list and high school students could not tell you who Aaron Copland is, is the way we are educating students in music working? Is this old way of doing music education producing results that we are proud of?
I don't have the answers to questions that arise as to how to we educate students in music today, just thoughts that will hopefully open a dialogue that will be a catalyst for change. A few of my many questions:
1) Why do we teach as if classical music is the only kind of good music we have?
If classical music is the only "good" music out there then why do we not see that portion of the Grammy's on primetime TV, for example? By thinking that we, as those trained in universities and conservatories of the world, hold some special knowledge that is only revealed to the chosen of music we are embracing musical snobbery. This attitude is demeaning and does not help people appreciate music in all facets and genres more deeply. Music has many functions; most of them social, and when it is degraded so are those that enjoy it. All musics' are valuable and needed for us to be better citizens, human, and become part of our social groups. It is integral in the process of enculturation.
2) Why do we not view people as musical experts?
Music is a universal phenomenon, not a universal language by the way (this thought is another post), and is and has been at the center of every culture in the world, no exception. Students come to music education then as musical experts. They have had a lifetime of music listening, participation, composing, improvising, before they have entered our classrooms or studios. For some reason, we have ripped this from them and either told them, not always explicitly, that they are ignorant or, sometimes worse, non-musical. In our society there are those that are considered musicians and those that are not. In non-Western cultures this is not so. Everyone is a musician. My youngest daughter creates music daily, with no prompting by her overly trained, sometimes musically-snob, father. I never want to steal this from her; she is musical and a musician. But yet, we do not acknowledge and value the expertise that students bring to music education. We must trust their musical instincts as much as we do ours. They might be able to teach us something. We as educators need to, at times, become the student. The banking concept of education that Paulo Freire spoke of must cease.
3) Why educate the way we were educated?
I know this comment is not going to be popular. When I was learning the guitar, 80s' hair bands were all the rage. My goal was to become one of them. I studied every major guitarist and learned every major lick and solo. Something happened in the 90s' though, Nirvana. With the release of one album the music industry changed and I had to cut my hair and sell my full-stack amplifier and crazy 80s'-esk guitar. I cannot teach a contemporary guitar student solely with the music I learned, with the techniques I learned. Most techniques are universal and some of the music is important to pass on. Does every student need to know how to play the guitar part from Autograph's "Turn Up the Radio"?
Students today are different from me. If I do not embrace this difference and find ways that are relevant and meaningful to deliver my educational content, the impartation of knowledge will cease. In my music history class, I am giving students the opportunity to explore the content on their own, placing them in the drivers seat of the learning process. I am there to point out the scenic views along the way. Students no longer have to have the database I did (I did not have Google… I sure wish I did). Answers to questions are only a click away. Why do I insist that they have the same database as me when they find the information faster than I can recall it? I'm not saying we don't expand their database. But does a student really need to know the finer points of neumatic notation?
Another element of this question I have, and continue, to wrestle with is the banning of laptops, texting, and twitter updates in class. Why not ask students to send a question out in the twittosphere about something pertaining to the discussion? If we allow texting in classes we give students the chance to get thoughts of "who wants to meet for Starbucks" off of their minds and back on to the subject matter (see David Allen's GTD for more thoughts on this). This is how our students engage so we should not strip this from them, but embrace it.
My mind is full of many questions and concerns; I will spare you from more. My point in this post is to question our advocacy efforts and the way we educate. If we truly want music education to be a fundamental right of all students then we must embrace newer fluid paradigms and newer adaptable means of educating students. We must operate from a philosophical stance and not the old adage and not from I teach this way because this is how I was taught. I'm for music education and I believe that music makes us human, and more human, and more human (much like Shakespeare teaches us to be human – Harold Bloom thought…. Deep thought there) and it should be an integral component in how we educate. I'm not for a "they just don't educate like they used to" mindset. There are many things we do well as music educators, there are also many "sacred cows" that need to be buried…. Much like my dryer.

Forklift Safety Procedures
January 28, 2013 Maintenance
Safety methodology for forklifts or fueled modern trucks claim roots in a mixture of sources: elected and state laws and in addition single association strategies. Normally, forklift safety techniques are dependent upon OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) standards. The larger part of the aforementioned are the ability to think, yet they do need information of the applicable laws and documentation.
General Safety Procedures
As per OSHA, a forklift must be looked after by an every day inspection, once for every movement, preceding operation. In extra, just qualified technicians might make any major remedies or support. Any time operating a forklift, all drivers must be made aware of tight corners, people on foot and dangers in the workplace. Seat cinchs, if supplied by the manufacturer, must be worn and not removed. All drivers may as well stop, sound the horn and search for movement or walkers when dropping in or leaving a constructing.
Site-Specific Considerations
In the workplace, particular dangers might influence forklift operation specifically places of utilization. Near the aforementioned are operating in the presence of flammables or combustibles, close equipment or hardware and in roadways. Part of making safe techniques is to do a peril dissection of the workplace to find the aforementioned conditions. Drivers who operate close to any of the aforementioned conditions will require training on the extra risks as a major aspect of forklift compliance.
Safe Procedures Mean Safe Drivers
OSHA's most habitually refered to violation is absence of training of operators. Safe strategies mean training of all operators before they start work on forklifts. New representatives may as well never be permitted to operate one without training, regardless of the possibility that they have been trained somewhere else. Forklift laws are site particular to the spot of operation and equipment utilized. What's more, all representatives must be retrained at any rate each three years. A composed system with an arrangement set up and a duplicate of the OSHA forklift law (29CFR 1910.147) must be ready on location, simultaneously. Recall to record all training. Never permit a worker under 18 or one who is hindered to operate a forklift; its a violation of elected law to do so.
