1 Handbook for Majors Department of Political Science 114 Wentworth Street Charleston, SC (843)
2 Congratulations... And welcome to Political Science! Now what? This Handbook for Majors is designed to provide you with information about the Political Science major, advice on course selection and schedule planning, advice on how to get the most out of your major and from your education overall, and information on careers and post-graduate options related to your interests. Regardless of what led you to Political Science, the faculty is now at your disposal and eager to see you excel in the classroom and beyond. You have been assigned a faculty advisor with whom you will meet regularly, but any of the faculty in Political Science are available to assist you. Students describe Political Science as the ultimate liberal arts major because of its compatibility with a variety of interests and related areas of study. As a Political Science major, you have the flexibility to double major or to choose from among the many interdisciplinary minors intersecting with Political Science. Our graduates are currently enjoying successful careers in law, government, international affairs, campaign politics, policy and non-profit organizations as well as in business and the private sector. The department regularly sponsors career panels, information sessions about graduate school and law school, and a variety of international and domestic volunteer opportunities. Enough about after graduation! While you are at the College, we hope you will take advantage of all of the resources and opportunities available to you. This Handbook can serve as a guide to getting the most out of your experience as a Political Science major. If we can help you at any point along the way, don t hesitate to let us know. Dr. Philip H. Jos, Department Chair Revised 6/10/2011 1
3 The Department of Political Science The department of political science is made up of 19 full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty, all with terminal degrees in their field. In addition, we are supported by several visiting professors and adjuncts, many of whom are professionals in the community. Political Science faculty support two graduate programs-the Master of Public Administration and the interdisciplinary Master of Environmental Studies. The department is committed to providing undergraduates at the College with a challenging major in political science that emphasizes knowledge as well as the progressive development of skills essential to the practice of public citizenship and vital to any individual career choice. There are currently over 375 undergraduate political science majors. Our pedagogy facilitates students' ability to communicate effectively, write and think analytically, conduct independent research, work in a diverse environment, engage in the interplay of ideas, and participate in public life. Programming beyond the classroom, like the thematic Geography Lecture and spring Convocation of Majors, emphasizes political currency and political information literacy, as well as career exploration. Students have the opportunity to work with an individual faculty member on independent research or to collaborate with faculty on research of mutual interest. Internships and study abroad opportunities round out the experience for students in political science. Learning Goals for Political Science Majors In everything we do, the department is committed to helping students achieve the following goals and competencies. Students completing the major in political science should be able to: read for comprehension, critically analyze text, and write effectively in a manner appropriate to the task; comprehend the views of others and articulate and defend one s own position; develop the skill of applying theories and concepts to new situations; acquire knowledge of both national political systems and global organizations including their institutions, processes, laws and constitutions; the relations between and among nations and non-governmental organizations; major political philosophies (western and non-western) and the context of their origins; and the bases of human political behavior in diverse political settings and roles develop an appreciation for the range of methodologies and approaches to the study of politics as well as the scope of the discipline conduct independent research and analysis, including qualitative and quantitative analysis develop the expectation of participation in public life and active engagement with Charleston and the Lowcountry. develop the communication, cooperation, and negotiation skills necessary to work with others in a public forum; develop an appreciation for the interplay of ideas in the public forum; and work comfortably in a diverse global world.

4 Political Science Beyond the Classroom In fostering intellectual curiosity and civic engagement, we believe important learning takes place beyond the classroom. To that end, each year the department adopts a theme and organizes a fall lecture and a spring convocation of majors as well as numerous other panels, discussions, films, etc. The Geography Lecture is designed to feature a state or local figure while the spring Convocation of Majors features a nationally prominent figure. In both cases, we strive to introduce students to new ideas and ways of engaging the world around them. Past themes have included: 2010: Consumption and Survival: The Politics of Everyday Living. Convocation of Majors: Anna Cummins and Dr. Marcus Eriksen, co-founders of The 5 Gyres Institute presented Plastic in the World s Oceans-Exploration, Science and Solutions on Land 2009: Political Imagination: Creative Solutions to Contemporary Dilemmas; Convocation of Majors: Mark Umbreit, founding director of the Center for Restorative Justice & Peacemaking and practicing mediator presented Restorative Justice in the 21st Century: A Social Movement in the Global Community" Experiential Learning opportunities abound, including the fall Model United Nations session, the South Carolina Student Legislature, as well as credit bearing courses that culminate with delegates attend mock African Union and Organization of American States sessions. In addition, the department is committed to helping students think about appropriate post-graduate paths, whether in the form of law school, graduate school, a career, or volunteer opportunities here or abroad. To that end, we sponsor regular panels on career choices and panels on preparing to apply to law school and graduate school. Throughout the year, we feature a number of panels or lectures on internships, study abroad, career choices and more. Many of these events combine substantive information with the experiences and insights of recent alumni and current students. In every case, we encourage students to take advantage of the many opportunities to interact with one another and engage ideas in the public forum beyond the classroom. What Can I do with a Political Science Degree? Lobbyist, U.S. Chamber of Commerce; Attorney; Project Manager, Department of Homeland Security; Hospital administrator, Highlands Living Center; Research Analyst, Widmeyer Communications; Project Assistant, AMIDEAST (Beirut), Project Assistant, Republican Policy Committee; Nonprofit Fundraiser and grant writer; Employment Classification Manager; Government relations specialist, BenefitFocus; Cryptanalyst for the FBI; State Policy Analyst, American Occupational Therapy Association; Deputy Program Director, Covenant House NY; Assistant Public Defender; Legislative Correspondent, Senator Lindsey Graham; Logistics Coordinator, Kingsford Manufacturing; Production Coordinator, Boeing Company; Officer, Charleston Police Department; Policy Coordinator, Bureau of Water and Wastewater, City of Baltimore; Campaign Consultant, Lisella Public Affairs, LLC; Analyst, Florida Department of Education; Damage Control Assistant, US Navy; Executive Director, Lowcountry Housing Trust; Deputy U.S. Marshal; Agent-In-Charge, Charleston County Probation and Parole Office; Law Clerk; Executive Director, Sustainability Institute; Project Manager, SC Department of Commerce in the Global Business Development Division; Foreign Service Officer, Department of State... These are just a small sample of jobs held by political science graduates. The diversity is amazing! Political Science, like other social science majors at a liberal arts college, prepares you for a number of different career options. Traditional career paths academe and law are still popular, but they are not for everybody and increasingly crowded. Today s graduates are just as likely to consider employment in the private sector as they are the public sector. Many pursue options like the Peace Corp, Teach for America, Food Corps or Critical Language Programs before seeking permanent employment. Upon 3
5 graduating with a political science major, you will have a base of knowledge about government, domestic and international politics, processes, and policy, but even more importantly you will have gained valuable skills. The department s shared teaching philosophy is to teach content through skill development. Surveys of the nation s top employers consistently report that the most successful job candidates are individuals who possess critical thinking and effective communication skills, are comfortable using technology, have the ability to make sound judgments, and who can work productively with others in a group. The assignments you will encounter in Political Science classes will work to progressively develop these skills while introducing you to the scholarship and issues relevant to the discipline of political science. It is your responsibility to continually assess how you are doing relative to gaining the skills you will need to be successful. Faculty will give you feedback in the form of comments on papers and exams, grades, and in discussions during office hours, but you need to become an advocate for your own learning. If you are weak in a certain area, look for ways to improve. If you know that your writing could be clearer (and whose couldn t?), then ask faculty to help you on that particular aspect of your writing. We are here to facilitate your learning, but you are the one that has to do most of the work! Majoring in political science can qualify you for many different careers in the private and public sector including careers in business, law, consulting, state, local, and federal government, journalism, communications, international organizations, finance, political campaigns, interest groups, community service and non-government organizations (NGO's) and pre-college and college teaching. Political Science also provides preparation for participating in community organizations, electoral politics, or interest group movements on behalf of specific policies. The American Political Science Association publishes a short book, Careers and the Study of Political Science. The publication is available for you to borrow in the main POLS office or you can order your own copy at If you think you might be interested in a specific area or job type, look for a job posting to read the qualifications and then assess your own skills and preparation. Now is the time to get internships, parttime summer employment, experience with student organizations or a Student Government Association (SGA) leadership post. Below find a sampling of a few of the many career options available, although you will also find the most current information on the departmental website: Graduate School If you are considering graduate school, consult the department s Guide to Graduate Schools available from your advisor or posted on the Department s Webpage. Dr. Erin McAdams serves as the department s Graduate School Advisor. In addition to graduate programs offered at other institutions, students may wish to consider the Master of Public Administration or the Master of Environmental Studies affiliated with the Department of Political Science. Master of Environmental Studies (MES) The MES is an interdisciplinary program linking preparation in science and policy studies. Students may focus their program of study in either an Environmental Policy or Environmental Science track. The Peace Corps Master s International (MI) is also an option for students in the MES program. For information on this program, visit the website at or call Dr. Tim Callahan, Director, at Master of Public Administration (MPA) The MPA program prepares students for public sector management in a variety of settings. Students may choose to emphasize Nonprofit Administration, Arts Management, Municipal Government and Urban Planning, or Environmental Planning and Administration. Interested students can access more information on the website: or contact Dr. JoAnn Ewalt, Director at Law School Dr. Larry Krasnoff serves as the College of Charleston Pre-Law Advisor. In this capacity, Dr. Krasnoff can assist you in deciding whether law school is right for you, where you might apply, and how to prepare for the LSAT and a career in law. To get started, visit Dr. Krasnoff s Pre-Law Advising web 4
6 page at: From this page, you can also access Pre-Law Advice, a brochure designed specifically for College of Charleston students who are interested in legal careers. You can also contact Dr. Krasnoff via at The Center for Student Learning, located in the Addlestone Library, offers assistance in preparing for the LSAT. The service is free to full-time students at the College as well as College of Charleston alumni. Federal Government There are a number of ways to access jobs with the federal government and an endless variety of occupations tied to the three branches (executive, legislative, judicial) and the multitude of agencies associated with each. A majority of federal jobs are located outside Washington, DC. Of the estimated 2.7 million federal employees, only 11% live and work in DC. With more than a third of the federal workforce retiring soon, opportunities in this area are very promising. You can browse the types of government jobs available at the Office of Personnel Management (www.usajobs.opm.gov ). Other opportunities are available with the Intelligence Community, Defense Agencies, Foreign Service (http://www.state.gov ), US Congress (http://www.senate.gov/ or or the courts. OPM also catalogs a number of summer job opportunities that can be identified by searching for summer on the OPM website listed above. Additional links of interest: or You may also be interested in programs like AmeriCorps, a national service program that provides educational benefits upon completion of one or two years of domestic service: State/Local Government As the federal government shifts more responsibilities to the states, there will undoubtedly be more job opportunities at this level of government. Issues related to housing, zoning, public safety, welfare, transportation, community development, industry, the environment and conservation, labor, education, consumer protection, and trade are handled at the state and local levels. Internships with the City of Charleston or any of the surrounding counties offer one way to access jobs in this area. For local jobs: and jobs in South Carolina Nonprofits Nonprofits operate at all levels in the US and internationally. They range from citizen and community-based organizations to nationally recognized groups like the American Red Cross. Interest groups serving a membership or a policy area are also considered nonprofits, sometimes called Nongovernmental Organizations (NGOs). Whether you are interested in working on local water quality, world hunger, or on issues related to a specific industry, there are jobs available. Look at: and to get started. Journalism Whether news writing or production, political science grads have found themselves wellprepared for journalism careers. However, most have gained experience through an internship or a parttime job with a local newspaper or television station prior to graduation. Don t neglect the variety of webzine or webpage job opportunities in this field. Public relations or corporate communication positions are also relevant for those with good written and oral communication skills and a working knowledge of public affairs. Check out for some ideas about specific job titles and qualifications. Business and the Private Sector A number of political science graduates have sought and found rewarding careers in the private sector. Sharp analytical skills and the ability to work well in teams puts you at an advantage when entering business. The Career Center will have information on corporations recruiting on campus. You might also look sites like: or to get an idea about the type of positions available. Campaigns and Polling Candidates Political parties and consulting firms offer exciting work for political science graduates. Political journalism, PACS, and policy organizations may also offer more steady employment. The best way to access jobs in this area is to go directly to the person, party or organization for whom you want to work, e.g.: 5
7 Capitol Hill Jobs with legislators or committees usually, but not always, begin with an internship, a friend who knows someone working for a member, or a family contact. Some people refer to Capitol Hill as the last plantation and patronage in a broad sense is alive and well. This does not mean, however, that you ll never get the job you ve always dreamed about! Take a look at these websites for some insider job news: or Education and Teaching Through the Teacher Certification program on campus you can graduate certified to teach in South Carolina. High schools and middle schools offer teaching opportunities in social studies that will allow you to use your knowledge of politics, and to take advantage of your broad liberal arts education. Teaching at the collegiate level normally requires a PhD or relevant terminal degree (see graduate school above). Ask your advisor about certification requirements. There are also opportunities to teach in under-served communities in urban and rural America through Teach for America (www.teachforamerica.org ). International teaching offers another avenue: Requirements for the Political Science Major A total of 36 hours in Political Science are required to complete the major. A minimum of 12 credit hours must be completed at the 300-level or above. The major is designed to have a beginning, a middle, and an end. The beginning is a core of 12 hours of courses designed to provide all majors with a common foundation and introduction to political science. This core should be completed within the first 15 hours in the major: POLS 101 American Government (3) POLS 103 World Politics (3) or POLS 104 World Geography (3) POLS 250 Politics and Political Inquiry I (3) POLS 251 Politics and Political Inquiry II (3) The core course requirements introduce students to important concepts, theories and methodologies in Political Science and prepare them for advanced study at the 300-level. The middle of the major is intended to allow students to sample broadly from the variety of subfields that make up the discipline of Political Science. The department has organized courses into five subfields: American Politics, Comparative Politics, International Politics, Political Thought and Public Law, and Public Administration and Public Policy. Majors are required to complete at least one course in four of the five subfields (12 credits). Courses at the 300-level are also designed to provide students with an opportunity to study a topic in depth. Once the subfield distribution requirement has been met, students are free to concentrate their study in one particular subfield or to continue to sample from several areas. The end of the major is fulfilled by completing a Capstone Seminar (POLS 405). This seminar is explicitly designed to emphasize the application of written and oral communication, critical analysis, and independent research. These are all skills that were introduced at the beginning of the major and developed as you moved through the major requirements. Although seminar topics vary by semester, all capstone seminars are designed to serve as a culminating experience in the major and should enable you to put into practice the knowledge, values and skills you have developed as political science majors. 6
8 Opportunities for Independent Work in Political Science Tutorial (POLS 400) Tutorials offer an opportunity for one-on-one instruction with a faculty member in a content area of mutual interest. This is available for juniors and seniors only. Students should contact individual faculty with whom they are interested in studying. Registration is through the Chair only. Reading and Independent Study (POLS 401) Independent study courses can be taken for 1-3 credits and offer students a way to design an independent reading/research project in consultation with a faculty member. The amount of reading or research proposed will determine the credit awarded. No more than 6 hours of Independent Study can be applied to the major. Registration is through the Chair only. Internships (POLS 402) Internships are an excellent way to gain practical experience in a field you are interested in pursuing and can be completed in the summer or during the regular academic semester. Internships for credit in political science are designed to provide the advanced student with the opportunity to pursue a research topic in the context of an experiential learning setting. Eligibility for POLS 402 includes: junior or senior standing, completion of 18-semester hours in POLS (including POLS 251 with a passing grade), and normally a 2.8 GPA in the major and a 2.5 GPA overall. Students will be enrolled in and complete the internship course as well as work a minimum of 140 hours at their internship placement to earn 3 academic credits. Students interested in an internship for credit in political science should see Ms. Erin Blevins in the main office for more information. No more than six hours of internship credit may be applied to the major. NOTE: Non-credit internships are available through the Career Center. Bachelor s Essay (POLS 499) The Bachelor s Essay is a major, 6 credit independent research project normally completed over two semesters. Bachelor s Essays must result in dissemination of new knowledge and final essays are maintained on file in the Department. Topics are selected and research projects are completed in consultation with a faculty supervisor. Students present the results of their research each spring. More information on Bachelor s Essay policies is available in the main office. Restrictions: No more than six hours of independent study and/or six hours of internship and/or six hours of experiential courses (POLS 353, 354, 366) may be applied to the major requirement, for a maximum of 12 hours. Requirements for the Political Science Minor The minor consists of 18 hours of coursework. The core requirements for the minor include: POLS 101 American Government (3) POLS 103 World Politics (3) or POLS 104 World Geography (3) POLS 250 Politics and Politics Inquiry I (3) At least six of the nine remaining hours must be selected from the 300 level or above. At least nine hours in the minor at the 200 level or above must be earned at the College of Charleston. Political Science is a Flexible Major that combines well with a variety of Interdisciplinary Minors Faculty in Political Science actively participate in and contribute to a majority of the interdisciplinary minors and majors* offered at the College. Since Political Science courses may satisfy requirements for both the major and minor (courses double count ), it is relatively easy to complete a political science major and at least one related minor. Many students find that completing a minor brings coherence to their elective coursework required for the degree. In each case, you should consult the most recent version of the College Catalog for specific requirements. You will need to officially declare any minors you plan to complete.

We need the intellectual tools that allow us to analyze the ways in which different peoples and places interact and impact one another. For example, understanding how Europe was made, connects to the wider world, and continues to change, or seeing AIDS or global warming through a geographic lens will allow you to appreciate the connectedness of all places worldwide such that you can better play the role of global public citizen that the liberal arts tradition embodies. Geography at the College of Charleston A minor in Geography requires detailed study of particular places at different scales, from the Lowcountry to Africa, and teaches students to understand and appreciate the physical and social processes that shape the world we live in. Students are introduced to the discipline of geography through World Regional Geography, a required course. All declared minors also take Reading the Lowcountry Landscape, which is a field-intensive methods course that builds geographic skills by analyzing the various processes that have shaped the Lowcountry. The minor is offered by the Department of Political Science and administered by a steering committee of faculty. Additional geography electives and cognate courses may be proposed by other departments for inclusion at any time. Students are required to take at least one systematic course in geography: environmental, political, or urban geography. From there students choose geography and cognate electives for a total of 18 hours in the discipline.* Geography Minor Contact is Professor Mark Long ; phone: Stay connected by becoming a fan of Geography at CofC on facebook.

Hormonal acne chin
Common Questions and Answers about Hormonal acne chin
My sister is 27, turning 28 this year. We are pretty close so I am able to ask her why she thinks her skin is flaring up without being too rude. (although I know it hurts her feelings talking about it). I feel horrible, I don't want her dealing with acne still when she's 40 or something. I know she hates it and wants to get rid of it. She has been to a dermatologist a few years back and i have just said to her maybe its time to revisit them.

Several factors are usually considered to cause
such as diet, stress, genetic, dirt
imbalances, cosmetics, work-related and drugs. Treatment options include topical and oral antibiotics, topical retinoids, hormonal therapy, dermabrasion , phototherapy and laser resurfacing. Normally a combination of treatments is followed and if nothing proves effective then dermabrasion and laser therapy are useful. You can discuss these treatment options with your dermatologist.

I was taking birth control for almost 10 years to control my
in this specific area. The birth control was the only thing keeping the
under control - it was great. Three months ago I stopped taking the birth control with concerns of being on it too long. Should I go back to taking an oral contraceptive or is there other options that can provide the same results? My chin acne is awful! The acne flares up during ovulation and hasn't completely gone away.

I am 12w 5d and I have developed really bad
/spots on my
and around my mouth. I know this is my hormonal area but they are huge, like bubbles which are really hard and sore with no white heads, well not yet anyway. Was wondering if anyone has any remedies or ideas on diet which will help in the future. I know skin problems are normal in pregnancy I'm not worried its just annoying.

I am a 42 yr old African American female and have been struggling with acne for most of my life. Now I get
on my forehead and
area and have been diagnosed with
by my dermatologist. I was prescribed: Cetaphil Cleanser, Clindamycin Phospate/Benzoyl Peroxide Gel, Desonide Lotion, and Doxycycline Antibiotics. The lotion does help to dry up the pimples, but the breakouts won't stop. I have been on this regimen for approx 2 months.

Hi, my problem is that i keep getting lots of large red sore spots filled full of white pus around my mouth and upper lip and sometimes on my
and around my nose. I have lots of blackheas too. I have seen a dermatologist a couple of times. First time she told me to use neostrata facial wash and bionic lotion at night and cetaphil face wash also. I used retin A cream a couple of nights previously but no great effect.

The common causes of
are poor diet, stress, genetic, dirt,
imbalances, cosmetics, work-related and drugs. Wash your face with mild soap many times a day.I understand your concern regarding this uncontrollable acne. Indeed it may be associated with hormone changes linked to birth control . Avoid popping or scratching them. Drink plenty of water. Take a good sleep.

My ultrasound clearly shows that i do not have PCOS.However i have some hair growth on my
and around the nipples.According to her i may be suffering from hormonal imbalance as none of the other ladies in my family have such hair growth.She asked me to talk to my gyn abt this and order a hormone test as this is a minor problem which can be easily resolved.However my gyn has never ever talked abt a hormone test or anything.Have any of you ladies ever had such a problem.

As you have noticed,
is a
problem with cysts appearing the week before your period. Freederm is a good over the counter remedy. Or, go to your doctor for a prescription cream like differin, or oral antibiotics. If you are on the progesterone only pill this can cause acne so either come off it or change to one with eostrogen like Femodene, yasmin or dianette.
Read More
Certain brands such as Diane35 and Yasmin are particularly effective at clearing
. Avoid the mini-pill,
IUD or depot shot as these can make
worse. Lemon juice does not have anti-acne properties. See your doctor for an effective topical acne gel such as Dalacin-T or Duac gel. Eloise.

I had been getting painful cystic
on my

area for the last six years. The condition worsened, then got better, on and off. Finally, I decided to try Accutane. I am on it now. Why do I only get cysts and acne on the chin? Have you ever seen this in any other male patients? I know it is common along the jawline for women. I had my hormones tested, and everything was normal. Can it be dental, glandualar? I am confused and concerned.

For 3 years i have had several under the skin pimples on my

around the mouth often has a hormonal cause. Speak to your doctor about changing to an anti-androgen contraceptive pill like Diane35 (also called Dianette) or one not based on testosterone like Yasmin. A course of oral antibiotics like oxytetracycline may also be indicated.

Irregular periods and
are linked as they are both
problems. Ask your doctor for the contraceptive pill called Dianette in the UK and Diane35 in the US. It will both clear your acne and regulate your periods.

When I was asked the other day how I'd managed to maintain my weight for such a long time I remembered what one of my teachers once said to me, "easy comes with experience".
At the time I had no real idea what she meant, and all of a sudden it made sense.
I realized that my weight is no longer an issue for me. I don't worry about what I eat, or when. Somehow I'd managed to get balanced eating so much into my unconscious that I didn't even think about it any more.
And then I remembered another thing that my teacher had followed up with, "you don't have the luxury of finding things easy without the benefit of learning and experience. And you don't learn without getting feedback".
On my journey to this point of weight freedom I'd had to try out a lot of stuff that didn't work before I found the thing that did – changing my mind set around weight through action and belief change (using hypnosis and other ideas, some of which I've shared with you in these emails).
So this week I urge you to remember how far you've come on your own journey. You may not be completely there yet, but easy really DOES come with experience. So stick with what works for you, whatever it is. Truly believe that this can, and will, work for you. And most importantly remember that you can only reach success through learning, feedback, and experience.
Sending you heaps and mountains of happy and effective learnings for the week.

UPDATED: Bolts' Tyler Johnson strikes again with hat trick in Game 2
Tampa's Tyler Johnson #9 of celebrates his second goal against the Rangers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Final Monday. (Bruce Bennett/Getty Images)
UPDATED: Bolts' Tyler Johnson strikes again with hat trick in Game 2
Lightning star center Tyler Johnson led all playoff scorers through the first two rounds. And he continued that hot streak by scoring twice more in the first period of Game 2 of Tampa's third-round series against the Rangers Monday. Johnson is shaping up as a strong candidate for playoff MVP.
With eight goals in 14 games, Lightning center Tyler Johnson led all playoff scorers through two rounds. And he continued the hot streak Monday in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Final by scoring the first goal of the night – and then Tampa's second of the game – to give the Bolts a 2-1 lead on the New York Rangers after 20 minutes of play.
Johnson's ninth of the post-season was a shorthanded goal 5:38 into the opening frame after a turnover from former Lightning star Martin St-Louis:
The Rangers tied it some three minutes later on a Chris Kreider power play goal, but Johnson struck again at the 11:15 mark with a man advantage goal of his own:
Johnson's second goal gave him 15 points in as many post-season games this year. The 24-year-old is shaping up to be a prime candidate for the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP.
Sure enough, Johnson scored the hat trick – the first playoff hat trick in Bolts franchise history – with his third of Game 2 at the 8:17 mark of the second period:
The goal, which put Tampa up 3-1, gave Johnson a shorthanded goal, power play goal and regular-strength goal in Game 2. He's proving to be a special player – and a valuable contributor to take pressure off star Steven Stamkos.

Bus company First has teamed up with national campaign charity Brake to promote road safety awareness.
Safety is a way of life at First and the partnership with Brake represents the latest initiative in the South Yorkshire area to provide the highest levels of safety for all First colleagues and customers.
Brake is a national road safety charity that works to make streets and communities safer for everyone and provide care for families bereaved and injured in road crashes. As a partner, First's support contributes to the costs of running the helpline providing care for those affected by road crashes.
Brake also promotes road safety awareness through education, training and national campaigns such as the role they play coordinating the UK's flagship annual road safety event, Road Safety Week. This year's Road Safety Week is being held from 17 November to 23 November and involves thousands of schools, organisations and community groups.

New 'Night Stalker' looks to follow in past's creepy footsteps
By Suzanne C. Ryan Globe Staff / September 29, 2005
Text size – +
Frank Spotnitz will never forget Jan. 11, 1972. That was the day ABC broadcast ''The Night Stalker," a thriller about a headstrong newspaper reporter, Carl Kolchak, who is convinced a vampire is on the loose in Las Vegas. The film, which starred Darren McGavin, quickly became a cult classic and spawned a short-lived TV series that later inspired ''The X-Files." (Full article: 795 words)

Discussion in 'Landscape & Cityscape' started by Detoff, Jun 12, 2007.
I almost passed this shot opprotunity up. I'm glad I turned around and went back for it.
#2 receives applause from me although, I would prefer the power line to be removed. The colours are very pretty. It kind of reminds me candy corn.
Both are very dramatic and you would really have missed out on a great photo op, had you stayed on your way and NOT turned around to capture this lovely light!!!
The little windmill is a nice extra in both, and I quite appreciate the inclusion of the dark blue parts of the sky in 1, which enhances the sense of weather drama, though I am still debating whether the visible blue reflections on the roofs make me that happy of whether I would have preferred to see an all silhouetted bottom area. Yes, I think I would. There is too little blue in the roofs to make all clear what there is we can see, but too much to not be distracting.
The second (zoomed in from the same spot??) is also nice, lovely colours with a concentration on the orange of that sunset, and this time with an all silhouetted bottom area, and - yes - a powerline. But to tell you the truth, I only ever REALLY saw it after I had read DigitalDiva's comment .
I like these shots very much. I especially like the second one, with the strong colours, all the lines created by the clouds and the colour striations., and of course that picturesque windmill.

|Flexible OmniOutliner
|Now if they can just make it work like other mac applications
|2003-12-13 16:31:28
OmniOutliner is generally a well thought out application. The stated aims of producing a modern More! is admirable. The integration with OmniGraffle is great too. However, there are some little frustrating aspects that are not necessary.
Keyboard navigation: Want to move to the end or start of a line? Most other applications on the Mac (TextEdit, BBEdit, the text-input field of this Safari form) use Command-left/rightarrow. OO uses Control-left/right arrow, yet command up/down arrow moves to the start/end of the item (OO's name for a bullet point). This is such a small feature yet its frustration factor is great, because you have to think about your fingers while brain-storming.
Click Through: This is probably the most irritating feature for me and OO shares this with OmniGraffle. If OO is in the background and you click on one of your documents to bring OO to the front, the clicked document becomes the front and the insertion point is placed at the click point. Very annoying, because you have lost your place and/or selection. Read http://daringfireball.net/2003/05/the_problems_with_clickthrough for a very good article on why this is a problem.

FAIRBANKS - The pros and cons of air boats are being debated at the state Board of Game in Fairbanks.
The board sets hunting and trapping regulations throughout Alaska and is considering a proposal to ban air boats from the Teklanika River.
Proponents say air boats are a nuisance and their noise chases moose from the river.
About 60 people had testified before the board by the end of Sunday and nearly 30 more were signed up to speak Monday.
The board will begin making decisions on 138 proposals after public testimony ends.

The mosaics beside the new city gate depict happy Kyrgyz on horseback. Wearing national dress, they gallop around a yurt-strewn summer pasture. The overall effect is very Kyrgyz, and that's the point. It's meant to distract from the gutted husks of Uzbek homes that line the gateway, destroyed last year in a pogrom against this wealthier minority. It's a lifting of the leg to mark Osh – the second-largest city in the country – as quite clearly Kyrgyz territory.
Thirty or 40 years ago, Osh was mainly Uzbek and being in a different Soviet state from other Uzbek cities in the Ferganah valley was immaterial. Now, with central Asians celebrating or commiserating 20 years of independence from the Soviet Union, Uzbeks in Osh are being airbrushed out of the picture. Until last year's pogrom, they dominated the private sector. Their neighbourhoods dominated the centre of the city around Solomon's Mountain.
Not so today. The smoke from grilled shashlik still permeates the air, but the restaurants that survived last year's violence are being appropriated by Kyrgyz and given new names. They used to play Kyrgyz, Uzbek and Russian pop music, but whoever the proprietor, he knows better than to play Uzbek music now. The bazaar has regained some of its life and many stalls have been rebuilt, but the stallholders are now largely Kyrgyz, as are the customers.
Uzbek neighbourhoods have banded together, recognising that they have no recourse to justice, and that police see Uzbek men as fair game for extortion. I walk into one neighbourhood where elderly women sit on mattresses outside, ostensibly studying the Qur'an. I find out that they are equipped with mobile phones and act as lookouts, alerting the neighbourhood if police vehicles enter.
"The Uzbeks did this to themselves to shame us" is a common response from Kyrgyz in Osh. Many feel the sting of international criticism at the same time as newfound confidence that the Uzbeks have been taught a lesson and taken down a peg or two. Nothing has been resolved.
The 20-year celebrations of independence from the Soviet Union will ring hollow for the Uzbeks of south Kyrgyzstan, as they watch the unravelling of Stalin's patchwork quilt of borders created to divide ethnic groups.

Thanks for your timely, informative, and well-written piece ("Storm Water Permitting") in the March issue. We had been unaware of our state's implementing the Phase 2 regulations, effective this month (March). It turns out we can qualify for the no-exposure certification, but, since there is no mention of its existence until page 105 of a 154-page state permit document, without your heads-up we might never have found it. PF continues to deliver far beyond its format size. The best mark of an editor and publisher who know what they're about is to select good people to deliver the actual goods. You folks get high marks. Keep it up.

Tom, thanks for your kind remarks. Glad to be of value.

Pagan pretty much refers to anything that is not Christian, Muslim, or Jewish. So pagan is a umbrella term, where as Wicca is one religion in the umbrella. Wicca is pagan, but pagan does not have to mean Wicca.
As Zebrah posts says, there are some pagan paths that are monotheistic. My definition is more from a Christian's perspective. It is probably also the definition of 'heathen'. (dweller of the heath). Which was probably another term to describe 'hicks' and 'nonAbrahamic'.

In hindsight, it looks like General Motors did the right thing by getting out of the $10 million paid advertising deal with Facebook, considering what is happening to Facebook in the stock market after its recent IPO.
GM had decided to switch its advertising strategy on Facebook, which was announced a few days before Facebook opened up for IPO. To be clear, this is what GM is doing: It's continuing to keep its Facebook content and pages alive, but is pulling back from paid advertising on Facebook.
While one can come up with interesting speculations around why GM decided to pull its advertisements out of circulation on Facebook, there are certain logical and fundamental reasons why not all paid ads would work on Facebook.
Facebook does two things in the advertising realm: ads and sponsored stories. While Facebook is a vehicle for delivering ads, companies like GM that buy Facebook's service still need to do the targeting of the ads. Currently there are three ways in which ads can be delivered: traditional channels like magazines, flyers, billboards, mass-mailers, commercials on radio, TV etc.; online ads (does not include social media); and ads on social media. Each of these ad channels have its own advantages and disadvantages, when you consider various parameters like reach, richness of media, ability to target, cost of creation and distribution, return on investment, ability to track, and various other factors that marketers would like to measure.
Traditional electronic broadcast channels have several rating mechanisms like Arbitron and Nielsen, which provide an insight into the effectiveness of ads based on viewership, listening population, and favorite programs.
Effectiveness of online ads are measured by "clicks," which give an idea of how many times an ad has been viewed and also track further actions taken based on the clicks.
Ads on Facebook rely on Facebook's ability to be an effective word-of-mouth channel because Facebook users create their own network of friends with whom they connect and exchange information. But this requires measurement similar to the number of clicks in an online ad and further tracking of the user's actions as well as the user's friends' actions as a result of the user's actions.
So the expectation of a business that uses Facebook's ad platform is to be able to not just capture a single user's attention via a click and further action, but to organically expand that click into a series of new clicks by the user's friends and friends of friends.
So why would GM and probably other companies pull back from advertising on Facebook if they don't understand how to use Facebook's potential in the advertising space?
First, let's consider the difference between a business' perspective of Facebook and a user's perspective of Facebook: Businesses see Facebook as a specialized online channel for word-of-mouth marketing via social networks.
Users, meanwhile, see Facebook as a way to connect and exchange information with friends, personally chosen group of people or the whole Facebook community. Here the sharing occurs with no expectations but it is just the transfer of information. They also use it to seek and probably derive occasional personal validation from this chosen group. Here the goal is to see if someone a person trusts has the same view or different so that any opinion formed by the person can be morphed due to a series of comments posted by the friends of the person.

I am using the newest Sea Monkey version 1.1.13 and I am considering downloading the Google tool bar. From the research that I have done the Google tool bar has some script issues and bugs, which affect online browsing, ect. I have also read that the Google tool bar gives Google the permission and ability to gather data per our online searches and browsing. I have done some research in the faq's and the forums, but I have not been able to answer my gain the clarity that I am seeking.
I am not sure if I would be opening the proverbial can of worms by downloading the Google tool bar. Could someone be so kind as to give me some clarity.
Thank you for your time and kindness.

After Republicans last took control of the House, in 1994, fireworks ensued: showy investigations into Whitewater, Vince Foster's suicide and, of course, Monica. But this go-for-the-jugular approach often backfired. So with the House GOP eyeing another majority, the man who would bulldog the Obama White House is quick to say he won't be impeaching the President anytime soon. "You're going to be bored to tears," laughs Representative Darrell Issa, a California Republican and would-be chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Issa is only half kidding. Yes, he does plan hearings on postal and federal-pension reform. And yes, he believes Barack Obama was born in America. But he also thinks Obama aides illegally offered jobs to senatorial candidates Andrew Romanoff and Joe Sestak to try to clear the field for White House-preferred candidates. Issa acknowledges the Bush White House did the same unchecked by a GOP Congress. All the more reason to act, he says. "You don't do selective prosecution ... How do we make a change in the law to prevent this from happening again?"
Issa also plans to look into whether Administration aides are improperly using private Gmail accounts for official purposes, investigate ACORN and probe Countrywide's "VIP" mortgages for (mostly Democratic) members of Congress. He's also confident that more federal spending means more waste, fraud and abuse to spotlight. To those ends, he says, he won't shy away from using his subpoena power. All of which hardly makes for boredom.

"Even clouds can suffer from inhaling air pollution, a new study finds, resulting in extreme rainfall patterns that appear to be altering climate across the globe."
"Farmers, municipal water authorities and others who depend on rainfall prefer moderate, dependable precipitation. But as soot and other minute airborne particles — a class of pollutants known as aerosols — get sucked into clouds, the pollution can dramatically alter when clouds deposit rain. The discovery emerged from analyzing every one of thousands of clouds passing over federal monitoring instruments at a site in the western United States over a 10-year period, explains Zhanqing Li of the University of Maryland in College Park.
"Haze, storms, drought and flood: We found very strong evidence that they are well connected," he said in Washington, D.C., on November 10 at the Symposium on Stratospheric Ozone and Climate Change. He and colleagues published the findings online November 13 in Nature Geoscience."
