AUGUSTA – I'm seldom surprised but always taken aback when I hear or read pronouncements by Gov. Paul LePage.
According to Thursday's Portland Press Herald article regarding remedial education at the college level ("LePage wants remedial work paid by schools"), LePage stated, "A good teacher in a classroom with 25 students will produce better results than an average teacher with 10 students."
LePage also said, "Fifty-four percent of students entering the Maine Community College System need to relearn basic skills, as do 20 to 25 percent of students at the state's four-year universities."
In more than 40 years in education, most of this time at the college level, I have never read an analysis that suggests larger class sizes enhance learning, and I have yet to meet a classroom teacher who believes that 500 students can be effectively taught solely using media.
I first encountered media-based teaching as an undergraduate. The professor set up a television with a video player. Within a week, students set up tape recorders. Everyone passed with essentially the same grade and, of course, no one learned a thing.
The only person to gain was the enterprising student who was paid by the rest to stay and change recorder reels. He was, like Maine, "Open for business."
Inherent within LePage's criticism of the Maine educational process that aided him is his undefined concept of what constitutes a good versus an average teacher.
Generally, teachers are given classes and assigned students. At the college level, students choose class times for courses that fit into their schedules. As students progress, they can choose instructors — seldom the reverse, not even at the graduate and post-graduate levels.
The most specious ways to judge a teacher's success are by testing students or looking at grades earned. In reality, a student's success is best gleaned 10 years or more in the future (a time when most have settled into careers and professions) as a culmination of both education and experience.
Teachers are bound by curriculums, structures and strictures set up by others. These others include boards of education, often well-meaning volunteers with limited to no teaching experience, and state Department of Education heads, political appointees who may or may not have practical teaching knowledge and experience.
The prime example is the governor himself. Nothing in LePage's curriculum vitae — his listing of education and work experience — qualifies him to speak as an authority on educational issues.
Furthermore, little in his gubernatorial stewardship suggests that he, unlike Maine's dedicated teachers and students, has learned at all from his consistent misspeaking and constant antagonizing of Maine's workers, minorities, women, artists and educators.
Teachers teach because they want to, not because it's the only thing they can do. As the governor stated, Maine ranks 40th in teacher salaries — not much of a reason for pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees, not to mention debt. LePage, however, takes pride in underpaying professionals and denigrating dedicated public servants.
The governor needs to understand that every car wash or tag sale undertaken to help with school activities is a clear indication that the school system is underfunded.
The late Sen. Barry Goldwater said, "In my heart I know I'm right," but God, through assassin Jules Winnfield in "Pulp Fiction," said it best when he recited a passage loosely taken from the Book of Ezekiel:
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."
LePage's creationism is fine as religion and faith; science, it's not.
It is past time for the governor to recognize the selfless contributions that teachers make and set his priorities properly. Instead of demeaning and destroying, leave that with God. Fund education for the students and provide teachers the respectable salaries and benefits they deserve.
Governor, remember: "Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness." The alternative, as Lucifer suggests in John Milton's "Paradise Lost," is "to reign in Hell."
Paul C. Trahan is president of the Maine Community College System Adjuncts Union, MSEA-SEIU Chapter 1989.

I thought I had endured the most painful day of my life. I was wrong.
It was a day full on tension as finances were gripping their sharp claws at our bank account. With Christmas rapidly approaching, the tension became a monster I tried so hard to flee from. I withdrew, I laid alone in our bed, hoping that the monster would give up, and allow us just a shred of hope. The day passed as my anxiety and depression came to greet the monster, feverishly searching for me. The room became dark, the house stood silent. I arose from my hiding place and went downstairs. I was calm, collected, as the darkness grew. I grabbed a drink and went upstairs and began to write my own "I'm sorry". I kissed my kids and told them I loved them and always would. The growl was now coming from inside. I knew there was no turning back. It was my time. I was doing them all a favor. Allowing the monster to consume me in order to spare them. No longer seeing their Mom suffering. No more tears. No more pain. No more grief.
I began to swallow a 3 month supply of a deadly dose of medications. Over 200 pills, handfuls at a time. Desperate to swallow as many as I could. With all 3 bottles empty, I laid back down hoping I had put a end to the monster that so often ruled my everyday life. The last thing I remember is my body trembling and then everything went dark. Success.
Until I awoke from the cruelest of nightmares...
The room was filled with warm light and I couldn't believe it. Sigh, it was just that, a nightmare.
Until I sat up and saw my note and the empty bottles next to me. I went downstairs, told my Husband what I had done and began to make calls immediately trying to find a bed at a behavioral hospital. We decided it was best to go to the ER to check me out physically and to expedite finding a bed. They took me to the back right then and there when I told them what I had done. My blood pressure was through the roof and my pulse was racing. They put me on heart attack watch, and did an EKG every half hour. After a bag of fluids, my pulse and blood pressure lowered. The doctors were shocked that I woke up. Telling me the patient next to me went into a coma with the same medications. That I should have been dead. I spent almost 24 hours in the ER on suicide watch and got no sleep as I heard nurses laughing, patients yelling, snoring and machines beeping. I still couldn't believe it was all real. I was in shock.
I was then transferred to St. Luke's Behavioral Hospital and spent over 3 hours in their waiting room. I was given my phone for 5 minutes to get phone numbers from it and so I could let people know where I was. The shame began to flood in as I sat there alone crying. I couldn't believe what I had done. I always swore to myself that I would never put my family through what I have been through. It was something I felt so strongly about. I think it's the thing that kept me from an attempt all this time.
7 days and 7 nights of intensive therapy, new medication and a bunch of new tools and coping skills to banish my monster. Breathing exercises, meditation, group therapy, individual therapy, classes, groups and even creativity based therapy! It was a very healing and eye opening week.
Seeing the doors open and the bright smiles on my loved ones as I ran to hug my beautiful daughter. Tears swelled up and ran down my cheeks. Tears of pure joy. I didn't want to let go. I held on to my Husband's hand the entire ride home as I felt like I was seeing things in high definition for the first time. Colors were brighter, and I felt like I was flying as I turned on my phone and was overwhelmed with all the texts, messages, and posts. How did I not notice before?
I am ashamed of what I did. I can't take it back. I can't make it go away. But I CAN make the most of a bad situation. I CAN be thankful for what I gained. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger right?
I've had a few people ask me why I am so open about the mistakes and trials I have had to endure. It's easy, because mental health should be out in the open. Discussed just like any other illness. It affects people of every age, race, religion and sex. It can result in death if not properly treated. No more shame, no more stigma!!
If you are struggling with your own monster, please seek treatment. If you are seeking treatment and the monster still looms over you, seek a different provider. Until you get the real you back! Fight for your life! I promise you, it will be the best thing that has ever happened to you! Don't settle for "okay"! You deserve to be happy! If I can be after everything, than I know you can be too!

Forbes - Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance represents a dramatic departure from the classic Hideo Kojima-driven exposition and stealth elements of the Metal Gear Solid series. In September I went hands-on with Platinum's upcoming action game and dispelled any concerns that the developers would bastardize the iconic franchise. Still, I was intrigued with the dynamics — and potential hurdles — introduced by Kojima Productions and Platinum Games working together on this decidedly more adrenalin-fueled entry.
Good to hear KP is handling Cutscenes i love PG but even i know their story telling sucks haha :D
So excited for 2013!

I've been craving some good ol' Chinese brunch since I could remember in London, so we headed out for some of my favourite Ipoh Hor Fun at Old Town White Coffee in Bukit Timah. This isn't just any ordinary Ipoh Hor Fun, I used to hate the thick and gooey sauce that Food Junction's version of Ipoh Hor Fun is drenched in, so much that I would throw a tantrum as a kid when my parents wanted to have them for dinner. Urgh, repressed memories. Have I also mentioned that I have a general tendency for carbs in the form of rice and not any form of noodles, especially when it's served in a hot soup? Why perspire over your food, if we're already living in a tropical climate?
But the Ipoh Hor Fun at Old Town? I LIKE!
The thin, delicate slivers of kway teow are served with chicken shreds and prawns in a clear and tasty soup base, that wins me over with its simplicity of ingredients. For those of you who have been to Penang and had the great fortune of trying Kway Teow Thng (or Kway Teow Soup, one of the two noodle-in-soup combo that have the privilege of travelling down my oesophagus to my happy belly; the other is Penang assam laksa, FYI), this is somewhat similar. Whenever I head to Penang, Kway Teow Thng ranks on the top of my must-have list. I could have bowls and bowls of it, and not feel sick. Since I don't have the time to stop by Penang this trip, I satisfy my craving with the Ipoh Hor Fun at Old Town, which to me, is the next best alternative.
And what's a Singaporean brunch without soft-boiled eggs carefully dotted with soya sauce and a dash of white pepper?! My love for eggs is well-known amongst friends. My very intense and passionate love affair with soft-boiled eggs? Even my hubby approves. I can't quite make soft-boiled eggs the way my mum or Old Town can, unfortunately, so somebody please bring Old Town over to London!
Which brings me to a rather sad note, I'm heading back to London soon-ish, so I'm going to miss family, friends, food and home sweet home, very very much.
Check out my other food adventures!
Old Town White Coffee is located at:
9 Yuk Tong Ave, Singapore 596314

Unfortunately for Comcast, representatives of an organization called Save the Internet were also there, and had their cameras handy. They took pictures of a Comcast employee handing out papers to the people they bused in. Later, some of the same people were photographed sleeping during the meeting. According to Save the Internet's website, "They arrived en masse some 90 minutes before the hearing began and occupied almost every available seat, upon which many promptly fell asleep."
A Comcast representative later acknowledged that they were responsible for bringing in these individuals, and also that the people seen with matching yellow markers attached to their shirts were identifying themselves for Comcast organizers. However, she denied that the company was attempting to keep out the public, stating that they were only there as surrogates for Comcast employees who had been encouraged to attend. In essence they were saving a a seat.
On one hand this matches one of the "seat warmers'" description of his duties. On the other hand, if we just took Comcast's word for things the FCC wouldn't be holding a hearing in the first place.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AZrun from Love it, buy it! I love this dress. It's just an easy dress to wear. I have 3 now. It shapes to the body without gaping or showing too much. I always get compliments, and I'm not in perfect shape right now. 5'-6', 129lbs, 36A, and a small is perfect with just enough drape/hang and not any fabric cling.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Cindymac62 from Flattering, fun dress I thought this dress looked great on. I personally would not wear this hiking, but rather out to dinner, running errands, etc. The adjustable side ties were a fun feature, adding interest to the dress, and also practical in that it's great to be able to adjust the length. I thought the material was just a little stiff, but assume that might change after a washing or two. Sadly I ended up returning it due to it being too big. I'm 5'4" and approx 117 and ordered small. There are currently no XS in the coral color or I would've definitely reordered. Also want to say that I considered this true to size, I just should've ordered XS.

Returning.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Crassy55 from This Anytime Casual Dress is a good name for it. I was looking for a multipurpose travel dress that was easy to hand wash and wear the next day. This fabric doesn't cling and just glides over the body, but it still has shape. It wicks moisture. It's quick to dry and I can dress it up or down. I can do up the side strings and wear with leggings or with a shirt or little jacket and scarf. The length can be made long enough to the knee to get into most religious sites. I will look out for more colours in the future. (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gigi731 from Super comfortable!! Very happy with this dress! It fits perfectly, is extremely comfortable, washes well, moves with me, repels water, and keeps me very cool. I use over my bathing suit to ride my bike to the beach and to hike. I have the black one and did not find it too hot to wear in 90 degree weather. Highly recommend. I am 5'4", 110lbs and the size small fits well. The XS may have fit too but I wanted to be sure it wouldn't be too tight so I bought small.

I am 5'0" about 115 lbs and a 34D. I ordered the small. Probably could have bought the x-small but like being able to wear a little tank underneath. The dress is longer on me than would be on most because I am so short- goes to my knees, but the side cinching makes it ok. I wish I had bought the other color as well!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gadabout1 from Flattering I purchased this for a trip to a humid climate where cotton takes a long time to dry. I've just worn it once at home over a swimsuit and it was actually quite slimming. Havent gone on the trip yet so I don't know how it will work out but I belive it would dress up or down nicely. Pair it with a necklace for going out to dinner. Black is hot though, wish they made it in other colors.

Is great for yard work, walking the dog, or going to the farmers market. The material is light weight and stretchy. I wish Columbia made more dresses in this fabric! I also have about 10 pair of the anytime pant. Just love the material as it is stretchy, cool, not see through and does not fade. The cut of this dress is wonderful with the top sleeveless but still modest. The ties at the side allow you to control the length. I just let them out to make it longer.

Fabric is comfortable and forgiving, whether I'm sitting at the office or chasing my 2 year old grandchild around. I prefer the longer length, but appreciate the option to shorten it a bit with the side ties. I would put another one of these in my wardrobe!

Rated 5 out of 5 by pdxnative68 from My first time This is the first piece of clothing I have ever purchased on line. I saw this dress on a hanger in a locker room. I liked the look of it so much, I looked to see who made it. When I got home I looked it up on the Columbia web site. I took a chance and bought not one, but two dresses in different colors. They arrived before the delivery date, they fit and when I wore one out that night I got many compliments. This has been a very sweet first time experience.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Marci1 from Women's Anytime Casual Dress I bought this dress because I love the Anytime Casual Knee length Skirt. This dress is not knee length in fact it is about 2 in above knee. I am 5'6 and never would have bought if I had known it wasn't as described. I gave it a 4 star because I love the fabric and style but just too short for me. It was expensive to send back and will think twice about my order in the future.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Zoya from Cute dress - great for summer This dress looks very cute on and it's great for summer with a light jacket or bolero. I find the shaping is just right for my figure and my figure is far from perfect. The blue color is flattering and the material is comfortable and durable. If I were you I would snap this up at the current price of $34.90. I paid more for it and still consider it a bargain.

Rated 5 out of 5 by WarmBreadSandwich from Sporty and Feminine! I love this dress! When I put it on my husband was very pleased. He said, "Wow, honey, that looks amazing!" I have a large frame with wide shoulders. I also have large "lady areas" and this dress fits in all of the right places. The ruching makes it extra cute. I would feel comfortable wearing it on a trail or out to dinner. It fits but also has a stretchy quality to it. This is a wonderful dress if you have curves!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Krisvince from Not for me The fabric does not have a lot of five and stretch and so I did not like it as a dress. I also thought the ties on side felt awkward. Perhaps better suited for someone younger and less of an hourglass figure. :)

Rated 2 out of 5 by GRMH from Did not fit well ... Stats: 5'2", 98-100lbs, wide shoulders for size, 32a-b-28-35. Ordered size XS. No significant gapping at the armpits or neckline. Actually, fine at the top. From the chest down, very shapeless. There are adjustable strings on each side at the hem. You can cinch them up for a ruched effect. When I did it in hopes of making the dress more ... fitted? visually appealing? it only emphasized the sack-like appearance I was hoping to eliminate.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Micheleworksoutside from sporty dress Tough and stretchy material. Fits my taller athletic build. Would fit larger boobs and smaller. Would probably be a bit baggy on tiny hips ;) Tapered at the waist. Has a gather strings at the sides so the dress can be made shorter. Like!

Telemann Oboe Sonata on Piccolo Trumpet Georg Philipp Telemann's Oboe Sonata, played on B flat piccolo trumpet.
Hidden treasures - Georg Philip Telemann - Ouverture burlesque (1717 History (based on the Grove Dictionary of Music): The history of classical music, like any other art form, is hinged upon a myriad of over-amplified legends and ironic twists of fate. Georg Philip Telemann (1681-1767) is a striking example of the latter: virtually forgotten in the 19th century and rediscovered only in recent times, the composer's contemporaries were virtually unanimous in counting Telemann among the best composers of his time, comparing him favorably to composers of his own generation, namely Bach and Handel, and even writing, after his death, that "his name is his eulogy". Though showing signs of a great talent at an early age, Telemann was pushed by his family toward studying law, but even in his university career at Leipzig he gravitated toward music. After his efforts to conceal his musical gifts from the other students were confounded by a room-mate discovering a setting of Psalm VI that had somehow found its way into his luggage, Telemann's musical career went on almost without obstacle to the highest degree of excellence... Let us consider, however, the genesis of the presented work. Little is actually known about the time, place or occasion in which the "Ouverture burlesque" was written, as the work was not published in Telemann's time. However, its patina of Francophone grace is undoubtedly the result of the composer's first extended project. Telemann left Leipzig by early June 1705 to become Kapellmeister to Count Erdmann II of Promnitz at Sorau ...

Joshua Warner, a former deckhand on "Deadliest Catch," was arrested in Illinois on suspicion of three bank robberies in Eugene, Oregon. In a related story, whoa! People still successfully rob banks?
Eugene police say he is the same Josh Warner who appeared as a greenhorn deckhand on the Alaskan king crab fishing boat Wizard in the Discovery Channel show "Deadliest Catch." His actions and confrontations with deckhands and the captain made him well known to the show's followers…
Prior to fishing in Alaska, Warner was a Dungeness crab fisherman on the Oregon coast and a wildland firefighter. [CBS 13]
I don't condone bank robbery — I'm more of a liquor store man — but I have to admit, that's a helluva resume for picking up dangerous women. "What do you do?" "I'm a crab fisherman, wildland firefighter, and bank robber. But my real passion is anonymous sex in public."

About Thinks
Sometimes good thinks happen and sometimes bad thinks happen. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish between the two.Some thinks need immediate action and some thinks may remain as thinks forever. Thinks can be angry and heated. Thinks can be joyful. Thinks should never be cold.These thinks are linked to many other wonderful thinks and I like to attribute these.These thinks do not necessary reflect those thinks of my employer.Think long, think on.

Bombay Chaupati
'Chaupati' is beach in Marathi, the language spoken in Bombay (Maharashtra).
Bombay, now known as Mumbai is a bustling metropolis that serves as both the financial as well as the media hub of India. Surrounded by water on three sides, Bombay has a long running shoreline that gives a sense of peace and tranquility, easing the madness that is otherwise within the city. People of all ages and from all walks of life take to the water in their own way in this short vignette about the shoreline.

A Chicago man pleaded not guilty Thursday in the theft of a newspaper delivery van with two children inside last month in Berwyn.
Jeffrey Wilson, 38, of the 1900 block of North Keeler Avenue entered the plea before Judge Thomas Tucker in the Maywood branch of Cook County Circuit Court, according to a state's attorney's spokeswoman. He is charged with vehicular hijacking, possession of a stolen motor vehicle and unlawful restraint, and is being held in lieu of $300,000 bail.


text: Hello, Stephen, It seem that in the presence of several jornalling file systems in the kernel some mechanism is needed for proper sharing of the ->journal_info pointer in the task_struct. One journalled file system can indirectly call another during page fault in copy_from_user, quota file modification, or __alloc_pages()->balance_classzone()->shrink_cache()->vm_writeback() sequence. (Actually, I don't understand when prevents ext3 from re-entering itself in such a case.) Can we replace struct task_struct { ... void *journal_info; }; with struct fs_activation; struct fs_activation { struct super_block *super; struct fs_activation *parent; }; struct task_struct { ... struct fs_activation *journal_info; }; Such that each file system can store original ->journal_info in the ->parent field and restore it on exit. All fs_activation for nested file system calls are then chained through ->parent's and file system can easily check whether it is already in the call chain, etc. Of course, fs_activation will be actually embedded into file system specific data structure (handle_t for ext3, reiser4_context for reiser4). Does this make sense? Nikita.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — The circus malfunction that sent eight acrobats hurtling to the ground during Sunday morning's Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus show was caused by the snapping of a clip that was meant to secure the performers in mid-air, according to Rhode Island public safety officials.
Providence Public Safety Commissioner Steven Pare told Target 12 on Monday that the steel clip that held the performers to the rafters broke, causing the eight acrobats putting on the so-called "Human Chandelier" portion of the show to fall to the ground.
Pare said the device that failed "looked like a large carabiner clip" and that each performer was secured to the support device with at least two carabiner clips per performer. He said the clip that snapped, which he said was around three inches by five inches, snapped on the "solid part" of the clip, not at the hinge.
"There are dozens of clips involved in the set-up [of the performance]," Pare said. "Right now, we know one failed, but investigators are looking at all of the clips."
The steel carabiner was rated for 10,000 pounds, while the weight of the performers and apparatus only totaled about 1,500 pounds, fire officials confirmed.
A statement released by Feld Entertainment confirmed that a carabiner in the rigging failed, and that investigators are looking into why the device broke.
"Determining why is critical to identifying the next step in this process. The safety of our cast, staff and crew, as well as our guests, is our highest priority. We will continue to inspect all of our equipment on our touring shows, and we are replacing every carabiner on this unit before the next performance," the statement read in part.
According to Dunkin' Donuts Center General Manager Larry Lepore, the set-up of each performance is visually inspected by Ringling Bros. personnel before and after each show. He said the equipment was set up on Wednesday and he said – to his knowledge – it was inspected before it was used on Sunday.
President of the Firefighters Union, Paul Doughty, said that neither city, state, or the Providence Fire Department is responsible for inspections. Circus officials told the fire department that the equipment was "visually inspected as a routine part of the process".
- Video: Moments before the acrobats fell
- ReportIt: Photos from the circus accident
Pare said federal workplace safety investigators are focusing on why it failed.
The Ringling Bros. website describes the stunt that went awry on Sunday as a "Hair Hang."
"These 'hairialists' perform a combination of choreography and cut-ups including spinning, hanging from hoops, and rolling down wrapped silks, all while being suspended 35 feet in the air by their hair alone," the site says. "In this hair-raising act, audiences will even see the weight of three girls held aloft by the locks of only one of these tangled beauties."
Several people on the ground were also injured when the performers fell 25 to 40 feet to the ground during a Sunday performance of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus.
As 9 p.m. Monday, four of the eight performers were listed in serious condition, but a spokesman for the circus's parent company said none of the performers' injuries appear to be life-threatening.
Circus officials announced Monday morning that the remaining shows on the Providence schedule would be canceled while an investigation into Sunday's malfunction continued.

Having problems with your HP f2105 21" LCD Monitor ?
How can i open the body or case to repair of hp
\015 How can i open the body or case to repair of hp vp15 lcd monitor\015
Answers :
Please check first if your LCD monitor is still under Warranty period, if yes, then I recommend to bring the unit to authorized service center to properly diagnose & fix the problem, because if you open it yourself & probably broken its seal then the Warranty will be Void & other problem/s that may arise / found will no longer be covered by their free service / part replacement.
If no longer covered by a Warranty, then you can open it by yourself, by turning (counterclockwise) its lock screws to open its back cover & check the circuit board parts / connections if loose/broken/defective. regards

The Office of Student Services provides support for prospective, continuing, and transfer students for the CoA. Students come to the Office of Student Services for many reasons, such as to inquire about academic programs, change their major or concentration, submit grade appeals, check out for graduation, or learn about LSU policies and procedures.
Our office is located in 106 Martin D. Woodin Hall, which is on the quad next to the design building. Our office hours are 8:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. Monday through Friday, with limited service during lunchtime. No appointment is needed to speak to someone in the Student Services Office, although there may be a short wait during peak times in the semester. We can also be reached by phone at (225) 578-2065, or by email at email@example.com.
The College of Agriculture does not have academic advisors on staff. Rather, students are assigned a curriculum coordinator, or faculty advisor, based on their major. A complete list of curriculum coordinators can be found here. Students wishing to speak with their curriculum coordinator regarding scheduling should contact them directly to set up an appointment. Note: Incoming freshmen are directly admitted to the College of Agriculture and should not go to UCFY for advising.
Come to 106 Woodin Hall to complete a change of major form. You should meet with your new faculty advisor prior to scheduling for the next semester.
Students wishing to change colleges may do so after final grades for the current semester are posted and before the last day to add courses in the next semester for which they enroll. Come to room 106 Woodin Hall to complete an enrollment card during this timeframe. You may meet with an advisor in your intended major prior to officially changing into the college. You may also refer to the CATS recommended path for advising help.
If you would like to change your major to something outside of the College of Agriculture, you can meet with your intended college to discuss entrance requirements, the application procedure, and scheduling for your new major. Please refer to the catalog for admission requirements to the other senior colleges on campus.
Come to room 106 Woodin Hall and complete a form.
Transfer students are encouraged to register for Transfer Orientation at the beginning of their first semester at LSU. Incoming transfer students may contact the curriculum coordinator for their major before transfer orientation to discuss their transfer credit and schedule. Keep in mind that curriculum coordinators may not be able to advise which courses to take until transfer credit has been evaluated by the academic departments.
Incoming students should consult the Tiger Transfer Tables to see how their coursework will transfer to LSU. If the institution or course is not listed on the Tiger Transfer Tables, it will need to be evaluated by the appropriate LSU academic department. Students should submit all transcripts, course descriptions, and requested materials to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions as soon as possible, after which their credit will be evaluated automatically. LSU does not accept remedial or technical college coursework. Even if coursework transfers to LSU, it is possible it will not apply to a student's degree program.
There are several online resources available to help you plan accordingly for your transition to LSU. The Tiger Transfer Tables and the General Catalog will be extremely useful tools to assist with course selection and degree plans for any major at LSU. Visit the transfer student FAQ page for more information.
Scheduling priorities are determined based on a student's number of credit hours completed. For a complete list of all priorities, including the dates and times scheduling becomes available to various groups, please consult the appropriate schedule booklet.
Deadlines are published in the Academic Calendar, provided by the University Registrar.
Students receive an email via their MyLSU when Fee Bills are published. You will be able to obtain your balance due via MyLSU at that time. To obtain your balance via MyLSU, select "Fee Bill" under the Registration Services heading on your MyLSU desktop. The due date of remittance of fees will be printed at the bottom of your Fee Bill.
CATS is designed to help students reach academic success at LSU and make sure that they are progressing toward graduation each semester. Students must meet the critical tracking requirements within the Recommended Paths to demonstrate minimal progress toward degree completion. Critical tracking requirements typically include both critical courses and minimum GPA requirements. The critical requirements for a given semester are located at the top of a student's recommended path. Additionally, all critical requirements are listed on the top line of each semester, and appear in bold throughout the Recommended Paths. Students may view their CATS status in myLSU by clicking "CATS Status" under the Student Services heading.
You may determine which University office placed the hold on your account by accessing your MyLSU account and selecting the "Holds" link. Holds can be placed if a graduation date has not been declared, if you are re-entering the University, if you are a first semester transfer student, if you have not completed graduation checkout, if you are on scholastic warning or probation, if you're in a major which requires advising each semester or if you are not following your major curriculum. If your hold was placed by a different unit on campus, please contact that office. Other offices that may place holds include the Dean of Students Office and the Health Center.
Online waitlists are a way for students to get open seats in full sections without having to spend all day, and night, trying to add. When students drop out of a full section, or its department opens seats, students are automatically moved off the section's waitlist to fill the class. Being on a waitlist does not guarantee that you will get the class, but once a waitlist is turned on it is about the only way you can grab an open seat. It is critical that you regularly monitor your position on a waitlist to determine if you need to add an alternative course. Students will use the Schedule Request link in their MyLSU desktop to join waitlists and will be automatically moved off of the lists and into courses as spaces become available.
The number of Ws students are allowed to receive is determined by the hours students have earned to date.
|Tier Hours
|Ws Allowed
To see which tier they're in, students may check the W Grade Status Link under the MyLSU Registration Services Application.
If purged/dropped from classes before the last day to add, students may re-add their courses using MyLSU. Please note that it may not be possible to re-build your original schedule. Students who have had their classes purged/dropped after the last day to add must go to the Office of Student Services in 106 Woodin Hall to request a late registration. Note: The Office of Student Services is not authorized to override students into full classes.
Students who drop all of their classes prior to the first day of class may cancel their registration and receive a 100% refund, but they must reapply to reenter LSU before they can register for a subsequent semester. Once classes have started, students may voluntarily resign from LSU through the final day for resigning as designated in the Academic Calendar. To cancel or resign, students must go to the Office of Student Services in 106 Woodin Hall to initiate the appropriate paperwork.
If you schedule a course and do not meet all prerequisites or corequisites, your enrollment in that course may be canceled.
You may not schedule a permission of department ("PERMIS OF DEPT") course using MyLSU. Contact the department (not the Office of Student Services) that offers the course for information. If your enrollment is approved, the department will add the course to your schedule. Students may add Permission of Instructor courses ("PERMIS OF INST.") via MyLSU, however enrollment in the class will be "pending" until the instructor reviews and approves the student's request.
For fall/spring, all students are initially allowed to schedule 17 hours. After all
students have had the opportunity to schedule, credit hour maxima are automatically
reset to 19 hours unless you are on academic probation. If you feel that you have
circumstances that warrant taking more than the allowable number of hours, come to
106 Woodin Hall.
For the summer term, students are allowed to schedule 12 hours, with a maximum of 6 hours being in session B.
For all intersessions, the credit hour maximum is 4 hours.
Students may improve the undergraduate LSU and cumulative GPAs by repeating a maximum of three courses (up to 12 hours) in which a grade of "D" or "F" was received and requesting that the repeat grade be the only one that is used in the calculation. Students must invoke the Grade Exclusion Policy in person in the Office of Student Services by the last day to add for the semester in which they are retaking the course. For a full list of rules and restrictions regarding this policy, visit the registrar's Grade Exclusion Policy webpage.
LSU allows no more than six hours of credit earned through independent and distance learning to be applied to a student's general education requirement. Students not registered in campus courses may enroll in independent and distance learning courses for degree credit; however, students who have been dropped from the University may not enroll in correspondence courses for degree credit. Students registered at the University may enroll in a maximum of 21 semester hours of combined correspondence and campus course work during a regular semester and a maximum of 12 hours during the summer.
To request to enroll in an independent and distance learning course, print off all necessary paperwork from the independent and distance learning website, and bring the completed forms to 106 Woodin Hall for the dean's signature.
Under no circumstances will a student in the last 30 hours of their degree program
be allowed to enroll in independent and distance learning courses.
Cross-enrollment with Southern University and Baton Rouge Community College
No. If a course is offered at LSU, you must take it at LSU. If you feel you have circumstances that warrant cross enrollment, please come to room 106 Woodin Hall.
Come to 106 Woodin Hall.
No. Classes failed at LSU can only be repeated within the LSU System.
The Final Exam Schedule is published each semester on the Office of the University Registrar website.
Students having 3 or more finals in a 24 hour period or 2 finals at the same time may request to reschedule an exam. Come to 106 Woodin Hall prior to the deadline for rescheduling a final to complete the necessary paperwork.
Instructors are not allowed to make changes in the final exam schedule without the permission of The Office of Academic Affairs. Speak with your instructor to clarify the exam date.
Review your CATS recommended path and/or degree audit.
Your degree audit will list all options to fulfill your general education requirements.
You may declare/change your graduation date on your MyLSU account. If you are within a year of graduating, please come to 106 Woodin Hall to declare your graduation date.
Commencement and Diploma Ceremony information can be found on the LSU website by visiting the Commencement Homepage. Also, students on the current semester graduation list will receive information via email from the College of Agriculture.
The semester before graduation, students will be contacted to come in and complete a senior checkout. A senior checkout includes completing a diploma information sheet, and reviewing your degree audit to ensure you are aware of all remaining courses to graduate. Senior checkouts are typically completed one to two weeks before scheduling begins for the following semester. It is very important to keep your graduation date accurate on myLSU, as you could potentially miss out on important graduation deadlines if your graduation date is not correct. Your advisor cannot update your graduation date for you.
Go to the Financial Aid and Scholarships website or visit their office in 1146 Pleasant Hall.
Visit the Scholarships & TOPS link on this site.
Visit your department's website, talk to your advisor, and be on the lookout for emails from your department
Come to room 106 Woodin Hall to pick up the appropriate appeals paperwork. We will explain the procedure, and answer any questions you may have. Upon completing all necessary paperwork, appeals are forwarded to the Assistant Dean for review.
Come to room 106 Woodin Hall and complete a form requesting to repeat a course for the third time. Not all requests will be approved.
If you are dropped from the university, you will receive an email with instructions on appealing the drop. Please follow all instructions in the email.
Students are dropped from the college after two consecutive regular semesters (fall,
spring) of a semester GPA below and 2.0 AND the LSU and/or cumulative GPA has dropped
below a 2.0. Students who have been dropped from the college will receive an email
with instructions on how to appeal to remain in the college. Alternatively, students
may choose to seek admissions to the University Center for Advising and Counseling

In my opinion, Fitz & Co is one of the worst management companies around. They are inconsistent, unfriendly, and unprofessional in every sense of the word. I've lived in a building that they manage for about a year and not only do they repeatedly fail to return phone calls and emails from myself and my landlord for days and sometimes weeks on end, they often show up unannounced to make repairs without any prior notice – that being said, they are unprofessional in their workmanship as well, repeatedly using my furniture as step stools (we even have a ladder in our apt) and working with no regard to the mess they are making all over the apartment. Basically every repair I've had done has been unannounced, has required an extensive cleanup, and the lights are almost always left on. Again, VERY unprofessional, very inconsiderate, impossible to get a hold of. If you can avoid this company, do so!!!! It's not worth the constant headache or mess, and they do a half-a$$ed job anyway!

PureDWTS Season 19, Week 9 – Power Rankings
I know I've been absent for awhile – chalk it up to an insane workload at my 9-5, some Comicon hijinx in Ohio, and a bridal shower in Texas this past weekend (check out my instagram for pix of the latter two – @putuincespence). Literally, the busiest 2 weeks of my life. 😯 But I'm back now and there's something I'd like to get off my chest with regards to TPTB…
…STOP TRYING TO MAKE JANEL HAPPEN. IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN. And in fact, it very well could backfire – especially after what we saw from them tonight. The viewers are not stupid – they can tell when you're trying to wrap a turd in tinfoil and sell it to them as a candy bar. You've secured her spot in next week's show – good for you. But when you pimp and pimp and pimp a certain contestant with the objective of getting them to the finale, a funny thing often happens when they get there: they typically don't place better than 3rd or 4th place. Food for thought.
Moving right along…I see Carrie Ann & Julianne are back to riding high on the bath salts train, as neither one had very much credibility tonight – lots of nonsense being spewed, both positive & negative. Len was a (sort of) stabilizing influence, who wasn't afraid to speak up and tell them they were full of it, though even he wasn't completely immune to the nonsense. My only hope is that he can get really, really real next week – cause he seemed to be turning a blind eye to quite a bit this week that he would normally quite vocally object to. Read more..

Terry Hall went into his closest Tuesday and pulled out part of his past.
Hall wore his old Shelby County High School letterman's jacket that night to the official dedication of Mike Casey Gymnasium to honor his former teammate – the SCHS and University of Kentucky basketball star – and their 1966 state championship team.
"This is only the second time I've worn this in 43 years," Hall, a '66 SCHS grad, said of the jacket.
It only has taken 44 years, but on Tuesday Shelby County finally will honor one of its favorite sons.
The same building in which Mike Casey made his name known around the county and where his funeral was staged in April 2009 will bear his name when Shelby County High School officially dedicates its gymnasium and its basketball court with his signature.
Tuesday night was "Meet the Rockets" night at Shelby County High School.
Notes written while trying to digest the turkey leg I ate on Thanksgiving:
By his own admission Curtis Turley is a basketball coaching "nomad."
He has crisscrossed Kentucky throughout his 32-year career. He has coached in Berea and Bowling Green, Louisville and Lexington, Eddyville and now Shelbyville for a second time.
On Tuesday night Turley made his debut as the new head coach of the Collins boys' basketball team, a little more than a decade after he guided Shelby County (1997-99) for two years.
When compared with its crosstown rival at Shelby County, the Collins High School girls' basketball team isn't very young.
With the Collins-Shelby County split, as well as the transfer of Darryl Hicks to Trinity, the Eighth Region is arguably as wide open as its ever been. Here's a closer look:
Coach: Glen Drury.
Collins boys' basketball coach Curtis Turley is more concerned about who is on his first Titans' team, rather than who is not.
But the truth is he knows who he has; he just doesn't know what he has yet.
In a season for firsts for Collins High School's boys soccer team, Brandon Shuck has added another.
Shuck, a senior forward and defender, has been selected first team All-State by the Kentucky High School Soccer Coaches Association.
"That's a great honor," Titans Coach Scott Cress said. "He'll forever be the first kid from Collins to be first-team All-State."
Shuck led Collins, which finished its first season 14-6-1, with 16 goals and with his actions too.

On another big day for corporate results - and economics with UK trade figures and the Bank of England's inflation report due - retailers are among those in the spotlight.
Ocado has dropped 18.8p to 214.2, an 8% decline which makes it the biggest faller in the FTSE 250. The online retailer issued a brief statement ahead of its annual meeting which indicated that second quarter sales growth had fallen below the level in the first three months of the year. It blamed capacity constraints - its Hatfield distribution centre appears not be able to cope and is being expanded to increase weekly order capacity and the range of products offered - as well as "the higher incidence of holidays." But it said first half sales growth was expected to reach 21%. The news allowed the bears to get stuck in. Jonathan Pritchard at Oriel said:
At a time when on-line food retailing should have enjoyed perfect trading conditions, Ocado's sales growth has slowed. In the first quarter, sales growth was 25%. For the balance of the first half, growth has slowed to 17%. That is disappointing. We can't really explain this: intuitively, we would have thought that good weather, opportunities for parties/barbecues, and the high petrol price would all argue for greater use of internet grocers. Management is pointing to more operational gearing here, but that should always be the case for a growing retailer like this. There will probably be a small downgrade here. Today's news is the first blip from Ocado, a share whose valuation we have long been puzzled by.
At Shore Capital they seemed equally taken aback. Darren Shirley said:
Management states the slowdown can be attributed to a combination of capacity constraints and the higher incidence of holidays over the period, though we would highlight that the traditional superstore groups will have benefited from the April trading pattern and that Ocado's comments come as a surprise us.
On the high multiples that Ocado stock trades on there is not much room for disappointment and the recent trade suggests that Ocado did not capture the nation's shopping hearts over Easter and the Royal Wedding, as it seemed to do at Christmas. With Waitrose putting into place its grocery on-line proposition, Tesco becoming sharper on price and the economic environment remaining tough the magnitude of the deceleration of trade at Ocado is especially concerning.
Still with food retailers, J Sainsbury has slipped 0.4p to 355.4p despite its full year profits being in line with expectations. Rival Morrisons has fallen back 6.7p to 300.5p as its shares went ex-dividend.
But Marks & Spencer is leading the way forward, up 8.7p to 404.6p after analysts at JP Morgan Cazenove raised their recommendation from underweight to overweight and its price target from 310p to 460p. They said:
The current valuation does not in our view reflect the recent trading outperformance of the business, nor the recovery potential of the story in the second half.
Historically M&S shares have attracted a recovery multiple during upward phases of the cycle, with a premium ranging from 10-40%. When the sector comes back into favour, it may well be sufficient therefore for the shares to simply deliver on estimates to re-rate. [Chief executive Marc] Bolland's active recruitment in key strategic areas could also provide some positive newsflow in the second half which would stimulate optimism and in the near-term any M&S/sector newsflow could provide a positive stimulus. Catalysts include the full year figures (24 May) and first quarter (July). The sector is volatile, however, and we would focus on any weakness around peer reporting points to buy into the shares on a second half view.
Overall the FTSE 100 is drifting back, down 3.64 points to 6015.25 after yesterday's hefty gains, ahead of the trade figures and inflation report. To be fair, it would be in positive territory if not for the ex-divs, which have knocked around 12 points off the index.
ITV is the biggest faller, down 2.6p to 73.3p as it confirmed an advertising slowdown in the second quarter, while HSBC has dipped 5.4p to 650.8p as investors start to react to its strategic review.
