1 Master List, Student Competencies (Learning Outcomes), Goal Areas 1-10 and WSU Intensive Courses/Additional Graduation Requirements (compiled from current WSU undergraduate catalog at Goal Area 1: Communication (7 S.H.) Goal: To develop writers and speakers who use the English language effectively and who read, write, speak, and listen critically. As a base, all students should complete introductory communication requirements early in their collegiate studies. Writing competency is an ongoing process to be reinforced through writing-intensive courses and writing across the curriculum. Speaking and listening skills need reinforcement through multiple opportunities for interpersonal communication, public speaking, and discussion. Understand/demonstrate the writing and speaking processes through invention, organization, drafting, revision, editing and presentation Participate effectively in groups with emphasis on listening, critical and reflective thinking, and responding Locate, evaluate, and synthesize in a responsible manner material from diverse sources and points of view Select appropriate communication choices for specific audiences Construct logical and coherent arguments Use authority, point-of-view, and individual voice and style in their writing and speaking Employ syntax and usage appropriate to academic disciplines and the professional world Goal Area 2: Critical Thinking (This goal is fulfilled automatically when all of the other goal areas are completed.) Goal: To develop thinkers who are able to unify factual, creative, rational, and value-sensitive modes of thought. Critical thinking will be taught and used throughout the general education curriculum in order to develop students awareness of their own thinking and problem-solving procedures. To integrate new skills into their customary ways of thinking, students must be actively engaged in practicing thinking skills and applying them to open-ended problems. Gather factual information and apply it to a given problem in a manner that is relevant, clear, comprehensive, and conscious of possible bias in the information selected Imagine and seek out a variety of possible goals, assumptions, interpretations, or perspectives which can give alternative meanings or solutions to given situations or problems Analyze the logical connections among the facts, goals, and implicit assumptions relevant to a problem or claim; generate and evaluate implications that follow from them Recognize and articulate the value assumptions which underlie and affect decisions, interpretations, analyses, and evaluations made by ourselves and others Goal Area 3: Natural Sciences (7 S.H.) Requires one course with lab and encourages courses from at least two different subject areas. Goal: To improve students understanding of natural science principles and of the methods of scientific inquiry, i.e., the ways in which scientists investigate natural science phenomena. As a basis for lifelong learning, students need to know the vocabulary of science and to realize that while a set of principles has been developed through the work of previous scientists, ongoing scientific inquiry and new knowledge will bring changes in some of the ways scientists
2 view the world. By studying the problems that engage today s scientists, students learn to appreciate the importance of science in their lives and to understand the value of a scientific perspective. Students are encouraged to study both the biological and physical sciences. Demonstrate understanding of scientific theories Formulate and test hypotheses by performing laboratory, simulation, or field experiments in at least two of the natural science disciplines. One of these experimental components should develop, in greater depth, students, laboratory experience in the collection of data, its statistical and graphical analysis, and an appreciation of its sources of error and uncertainty Communicate their experimental findings, analyses, and interpretations both orally and in writing Evaluate societal issues from a natural science perspective, ask questions about the evidence presented, and make informed judgments about science-related topics and policies Goal Area 4: Mathematics/Logical Reasoning (3-4 S.H.) Goal: To increase students knowledge about mathematical and logical modes of thinking. This will enable students to appreciate the breadth of applications of mathematics, evaluate arguments, and detect fallacious reasoning. Students will learn to apply mathematics, logic, and\or statistics to help them make decisions in their lives and careers. Minnesota s public higher education systems have agreed that developmental mathematics includes the first three years of a high school mathematics sequence through intermediate algebra. Illustrate historical and contemporary applications of mathematical/logical systems Clearly express mathematical/logical ideas in writing Explain what constitutes a valid mathematical/logical argument (proof) Apply higher-order problem-solving and/or modeling strategies Goal Area 5: History and the Social and Behavioral Sciences (9 S.H.) Requires courses from at least two different subject areas. Goal: To increase students knowledge of how historians and social and behavioral scientists discover, describe, and explain the behaviors and interactions among individuals, groups, institutions, events, and ideas. Such knowledge will better equip students to understand themselves and the roles they play in addressing the issues facing humanity. Employ the methods and data that historians and social and behavioral scientists use to investigate the human condition Examine social institutions and processes across a range of historical periods and cultures Use and critique alternative explanatory systems or theories Develop and communicate alternative explanations or solutions for contemporary social issues Goal 6: The Humanities and Fine Arts (9 credits) Requires a minimum of 3 S.H. of Humanities and 3 S.H. of Fine Arts. Goal: To expand students knowledge of the human condition and human cultures, especially in relation to behavior, ideas, and values expressed in works of human imagination and thought. Through study in disciplines such as literature, philosophy, and the fine arts, students will engage in critical analysis, form aesthetic judgments, and
3 develop an appreciation of the arts and humanities as fundamental to the health and survival of any society. Students should have experiences in both the arts and humanities. Demonstrate awareness of the scope and variety of works in the arts and humanities Understand those works as expressions of individual and human values within an historical and social context Respond critically to works in the arts and humanities Engage in the creative process or interpretive performance Articulate an informed personal reaction to works in the arts and humanities Fine Arts courses must also achieve the following additional student competency: Employ the methods of an arts practitioner (including artist or scholar) in order to study or produce work that is created primarily for its aesthetic value Goal Area 7: Human Diversity (3 S.H.) Goal: To increase students understanding of individual and group differences (e.g., race, gender, class) and their knowledge of the traditions and values of various groups in the United States. Students should be able to evaluate the United States historical and contemporary responses to group differences. Understand the development of and the changing meanings of group identities in the United States, history and culture Demonstrate an awareness of the individual and institutional dynamics of unequal power relations between groups in contemporary society Analyze their own attitudes, behaviors, concepts and beliefs regarding diversity, racism, and bigotry Describe and discuss the experience and contributions (political, social, economic, etc.) of the many groups that shape American society and culture, in particular those groups that have suffered discrimination and exclusion Demonstrate communication skills necessary for living and working effectively in a society with great population diversity Goal Area 8: Global Perspectives (3 S.H.) Goal: To increase students understanding of the growing interdependence of nations and peoples and develop their ability to apply a comparative perspective to cross-cultural social, economic and political experiences. Describe and analyze political, economic, and cultural elements which influence relations of states and societies in their historical and contemporary dimensions Demonstrate knowledge of cultural, social, religious and linguistic differences Analyze specific international problems, illustrating the cultural, economic, and political differences that affect their solution Understand the role of a world citizen and the responsibility world citizens share for their common global future Goal 9: Ethical and Civic Responsibility (3 S.H.)
4 Goal: To develop students capacity to identify, discuss, and reflect upon the ethical dimensions of political, social, and personal life and to understand the ways in which they can exercise responsible and productive citizenship. While there are diverse views of social justice or the common good in a pluralistic society, students should learn that responsible citizenship requires them to develop skills to understand their own and others, positions, be part of the free exchange of ideas, and function as public-minded citizens. Examine, articulate, and apply their own ethical views Understand and apply core concepts (e.g. politics, rights and obligations, justice, liberty) to specific issues Analyze and reflect on the ethical dimensions of legal, social, and scientific issues Recognize the diversity of political motivations and interests of others Identify ways to exercise the rights and responsibilities of citizenship Goal 10: People and the Environment (3 S.H.) Goal: To improve students, understanding of today s complex environmental challenges. Students will examine the interrelatedness of human society and the natural environment. Knowledge of both bio-physical principles and sociocultural systems is the foundation for integrative and critical thinking about environmental issues. Explain the basic structure and function of various natural ecosystems and of human adaptive strategies within those systems Discern patterns and interrelationships of bio-physical and socio-cultural systems Describe the basic institutional arrangements (social, legal, political, economic, religious) that are evolving to deal with environmental and natural resource challenges Evaluate critically environmental and natural resource issues in light of understandings about interrelationships, ecosystems, and institutions Propose and assess alternative solutions to environmental problems Articulate and defend the actions they would take on various environmental issues Additional Requirement Categories Courses in all of the Additional Requirement Categories must demonstrate that they meet 100% of the specified student competencies. Intensives (12 S.H.) Intensive courses will normally be included as part of a student s major or minor program. Departments will need to demonstrate to the GEPS that the courses in question merit the designation as intensive. Departments and programs should establish appropriate Goal Area prerequisites for intensive courses (e.g., an Oral Communication Intensive course should have a prerequisite of a communication course from Goal 1, Communications; a Writing Intensive course should have a prerequisite of a writing course from Goal 1, Communications). Departments may choose to require additional prerequisites for intensive courses. Students may use General Education Intensive courses to satisfy both Intensive requirements and major requirements. Intensive courses will usually be in the student s major or minor program. In this catalog, Intensive course offerings are listed in each academic department s program description. The list of Intensive courses is continually updated as additional or new courses are approved. Writing Intensive (6 S.H.)
5 Goal: The purpose of the Writing Intensive course requirement is to reinforce the student competencies specified for the writing component of Goal Area 1. These courses are intended to provide contexts, opportunities, and feedback for students writing with discipline-specific texts, tools, and strategies. These courses emphasize writing as essential to academic learning and intellectual development. Courses can merit the Writing Intensive designation by demonstrating that section enrollment will allow for clear guidance, criteria, and feedback for the writing assignments; that the course will require a significant amount of writing to be distributed throughout the semester; that writing will comprise a significant portion of the student s final course grade; and that students will have opportunities to incorporate readers critiques of their writing. Practice the processes and procedures for creating and completing successful writing in their fields Understand the main features and uses of writing in their fields Adapt their writing to the general expectations of readers in their fields Make use of the technologies commonly used for research and writing in their fields Learn the conventions of evidence, format, usage, and documentation in their fields Oral Communication Intensive (3 S.H.) Goal: The purpose of the Oral Communication Intensive course requirement is to provide graduates of Winona State University the opportunity to enhance the knowledge and experience required to enable them to become highly competent communicators. Courses can merit the Oral Communication Intensive designation by demonstrating that they allow for clear guidance, criteria, and feedback for the speaking assignments; that the course requires a significant amount of speaking; that speaking assignments comprise a significant portion of the final course grade; and that students will have opportunities to obtain both peer and faculty critiques of their speaking. Earn significant course credit through extemporaneous oral presentations Understand the features and types of speaking in their disciplines Adapt their speaking to field-specific audiences Receive appropriate feedback from teachers and peers, including suggestions for improvement Make use of the technologies used for research and speaking in their fields Learn the conventions of evidence, format, usage, and documentation in their fields Mathematics/Statistics OR Critical Analysis Intensive (3 S.H.) Students will be required to take either a Math/Statistics or a Critical Analysis Intensive course. The student competencies for the two are listed separately below. Mathematics/Statistics Intensive Goal: The purpose of the Mathematics/Statistics Intensive course requirement is to reinforce some of the student competencies specified for Goal Area 4. These courses are intended to provide students with significant practice in applying prerequisite mathematical or statistical knowledge. Courses can merit the Mathematics/Statistics Intensive designation if students will be required to make essential use throughout the semester of mathematical or statistical models appropriate to their prerequisite knowledge of those areas, and if the correct use of techniques based on such models will comprise a significant portion of a student s
6 final grade. It is understood that mere rote computations, algebraic manipulations, or graphical design without inferential content would not merit a Mathematics/Statistics Intensive designation. Practice the correct application of mathematical or statistical models that are appropriate to their prerequisite knowledge of those areas Make proper use of modern mathematical or statistical methods appropriate to their level of prerequisite knowledge, to include, if statistics is used in a substantive way, the use of a statistical package with graphics capability when appropriate Critical Analysis Intensive Goal: The purpose of the Critical Analysis Intensive course requirement is to provide an alternative to the Mathematics/Statistics Intensive requirement for students majoring in fields that do not require the significant use of mathematics or statistics. Critical Analysis Intensive courses are intended to provide students with significant practice in rigorous argument comparable to what a student is expected to receive in a Mathematics/Statistics Intensive course. Courses can merit the Critical Analysis Intensive designation if students will be required to make essential use throughout the semester of proper techniques for analyzing the structure and validity of arguments, as opposed to techniques for examining the factual validity of, or the psychological or socioeconomic bases for, the premises of an argument; and if a significant part of their grade will depend on the proper use of such techniques. Student Competencies: Students will be able to Recognize and evaluate appropriate evidence to advance a claim Apply critical analytical skills in making decisions or in advancing a theoretical position Evaluate alternative arguments, decision strategies, or theories within a systematic framework Physical Development and Wellness (2 S.H.) Goal: To provide students with fundamental knowledge and practical skills in the areas of lifetime physical activity, health awareness, and wellness. Wellness is a continual life-long process of individual self-discovery across a broad spectrum consisting of the emotional, environmental, intellectual, occupational, physical, social, and spiritual dimensions. Such courses offer holistic experiences designed to foster an environment that provides opportunities for student refinement and balance of all dimensions through quality lifetime health, nutrition, fitness, leisure, and wellness habits. Student Competencies: Students will be able to Make proactive choices that lead to a healthier lifestyle through increased knowledge of personal health, nutrition, fitness, leisure, and wellness Make critical decisions regarding leisure, health, nutrition, wellness, and disease-related issues throughout an individual s lifetime Define wellness as multidimensional and lifelong Utilize wellness activities to improve health, nutrition, physical activity, and leisure as well as provide relaxation, socialization, and balance in their lives Become accountable for personal health, nutrition, wellness, fitness, and leisure choices and the impact of those choices on self, others, society, and the environment

A very interesting - and addictive - game. Despite the flaws I see, it's interesting enough that I kept trying to beat my top score (212 atm).
A little more detail for new players:
The pink ring around each circle 'outlet' is a timer that will have time added when it receives an energy dot (though not reset). The blue meter indicates the outlet's progress to completion. You can add as many connections as you like from each factory or 'combine' node, but the energy will alternate which connection it travels (each destination will receive energy less frequently). You'll want to try and micro-manage the connections such that your combine nodes receives all their source energy at a similar rate (it won't send the combined energy until it receives energy from all it's sources).
A cheat / bug / weird mechanic that might be handy:
Create two combine nodes from a factory node, then connect one to the other. Now you have 2x the original factory's energy at half the rate you would normally have. This is handy when you don't want to add more connections from existing factories.
One of the major issues I find is that the number of on screen elements can get overwhelming and it becomes difficult simply to find the different factories in the network or easily miss an outlet that hasn't been connected. Changing the colours scheme to contrast the two might work. Or highlighting other factories / combine nodes when creating a new connection. Or making outlets appear in waves, to give the player time to clean-up / micromanage their network without losing tension. There are a few options.
The other major issue was that it felt difficult to accomplish the primary goal to achieving a high score - balancing the distribution of energy between factories. Namely, when a factory or outlet appears you would scramble to connect it up, but you wouldn't have enough time to use it very efficiently. It's not telegraphed to the player very well, but the energy can go to waste sitting (or dissipating?) at combine nodes while waiting for other energy from a different connection to combine with. The UI doesn't inform you of this at all and you seemingly don't have time to fix these issues in your network, but it's the ultimate reason you lose a game AFAICT.
A similar game that others may want to try is Mini Metro.
I hope you release an update for this, because it shows great potential. :)

I had been hoping to see The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time since I found out it was being brought to Toronto. The book it's adapted from is one I have heard great things about. I've been procrastinating about reading it for years, but it deals with a topic close to my heart.
The lead character, Christopher Boone, is a 15-year-old boy who likely has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), although it's not the focal point of the story. Neither the book's author or the writer of the stage adaptation diagnose Christopher, because the story is not about ASD, it's about Christopher, who goes to a special school, is brilliant at math and has a different view of the world.
The show follows Christopher (Joshua Jenkins) from the moment he discovers his neighbor's dog dead in her garden, killed with a pitchfork. Christopher is immediately a suspect, but he vows to investigate and find the true killer.
Without giving too much of the mystery away, it also deals largely with family and Christopher forcing himself to do things he is uncomfortable with to get the answer to who killed his neighbor's dog and to questions he didn't known existed at the start of the tale.
The first half is narrated by his teacher Siobhan (Julie Hale), as she reads the book Christopher writes about his journey as a class assignment, while the second half is presented as a play within a play.
The Curious Incident is incredibly captivating and beautifully complex. The set is a simplistic cubed grid with video projections on the walls and floor. Hidden in the set are cupboards hiding most of the props. A table gets pulled out of one of them, and the changes are done through beautifully choreographed movements by the cast as scenes progress. The visual simplicity of the set allows you to immerse yourself more deeply in the story.
The set allows the audience to see what's happening through Christopher's mind. At times the audio and visuals are completely overwhelming, and it's intentional. It allows the audience to experience the type of sensory over-stimulation that many who have ASD deal with constantly. Other times they are incredibly simple -- for example, one scene focuses on solely on the rain while Christopher stands center stage, talking.
At times it feels more like a ballet than anything else. During a moment in which Christopher talks about his past desire to be an astronaut, the rest of the cast is lifting him and moving him through the air as if he could actually be in zero gravity, while stunning projections of stars and planets make it seem like you're actually in one of his dreams.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is emotionally compelling and shouldn't be missed. It runs until November 10 at the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto. ~Hayley Michaud

Hey everyone!
I've been on this silly internet for 18 years now and I really don't have a blog.. so I'm fixing it. Well, I've had postings here and there, but that's mostly rambling, venting, or telling slightly embarrassing funny stories that make friends proud and parents cry. You know the type.
Eventually I'll use this to post musings and other thoughts about what I do for a living - Web Analytics. It's a fun, crazy, turn a jumble of information into gold, make sense of nothing, many hat wearing kind of job. Today I did a tagging document, kicked off a small usability study (using web analytics), and even found bugs on a site (as I was seeing what tags were missing/wrong). Things are rarely boring in this line of work, and if they do happen to slow a little, there's always some point of curiosity that makes you go "hmm.." and you can dive head first into the pool of razor blades that is web data and come out with something to show for it (besides the cuts and bruises).
If you have any questions about web analytics, metrics, google analytics, webtrends, or anything like that, please feel free to ask. If I did something smart like link this account to my gmail, I may even know that you wrote me. Otherwise, expect an answer sometime in Q2 '08 when I likely log back in and realize I have a message waiting.

Over at NationalJounal, Kathy Kiely is bemoaning the fact that our society still puts a higher premium on beautiful women than women leaders.
Sex and Power: Our society still values female sex symbols more than female leaders. The pace of change is too slow.
Like bookends on an era, the passing of two well-known American women last week underscored how much times have changed—and how much they have not.
The first to depart was Elizabeth Taylor, a woman of undoubted savvy and accomplishment who did a lot for others, especially those with AIDS, but one whose celebrity and power derived from her status as one of the sultriest sex symbols of all time.
The other to leave was Geraldine Ferraro, who turned her own traditional feminine role into a political base and who, in a bid for the vice presidency, changed American politics forever. "She took the 'only men need apply' sign off the White House," said Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md.
…Further consider: More than a quarter-century after Ferraro's historic breakthrough, women still constitute just 17 percent of the national legislature in a country where they make up 51 percent of the population. To put it another way, My National Journal colleague Jessica Taylor notes that she wasn't yet born when Ferraro was nominated as the Democratic vice presidential candidate but was already a working journalist by the next time a major party put a woman on its national ticket (the GOP's 2008 nomination of Sarah Palin for vice president).
"It's disheartening," says Debbie Walsh of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. "There is still such a long way for women to go."
Let me suggest something rather obvious that seems to slip past a lot of people who get hung up on gender quotas in politics.
To set it up, consider this: There are some extraordinarily successful women in politics already. Ann Coulter is the single most popular conservative columnist. Michelle Malkin is arguably the most successful conservative blogger. Sarah Palin probably has a larger dedicated fan base than any other politician in America. Laura Ingraham has an audience of roughly 6 million people who listen to her every week. You can continue on down the list and find plenty of women who've been very successful in politics. When you consider all of that, it becomes clear that women certainly CAN BE successful in politics. So, why aren't more of them doing it?
More to the point, why is it that, "our society still values female sex symbols more than female leaders?"
Here's a radical suggestion:

Nice topic isn't it? It is really interesting because
it will discuss the present situation of every individual
in our modern world today. To make this one simple,
I would rather discuss it in a manner wherein everybody
would appreciate.
For centuries, the differences between men and women
were socially defined and distorted through a lens of
sexism in which men assumed superiority over women and
maintained it through domination. As the goal of equality
between men and women now grows closer we are also losing
our awareness of important differences.
and women still differ in many ways, in their physical,
social, mental, emotional, and sexual aspect. Every individual
still has his own natures and characteristics.
In their physical aspect, it is pretty obvious that men
have strong body built than women. This is the reason
why they claim superiority over women. They can carry
heavy baggage and the likes while women cannot. Just simple
differences but still it shows the capacity of a man and
a woman. The man serves as the provider and protector
of a woman because of their strong physical appearance.
In their social aspect, woman is more sociable than man.
Woman used to be bubbly and has a good public relation.
Most women are born conversant while men did not. Men
prefer to go out with his close friends than to spent
his day attending different acquaintance parties. They
rather sit on the corner while having some drinks and
women used to walk around, having cheek to cheek with
their acquaintances and friends.
In their mental or intellectual aspect, men said that
two heads are better than one? Women might disagree in
this saying. There are situations that man is more intellectual
than woman and vice versa. Do you believe that man is
better in calculations and numbers than woman? Man used
to solve problems one at a time. Unlike woman, they can
use the both sides of their brain to solve their problems.
If you will notice, when it is a boys talk, they usually
discuss one topic until the end. But when it is a girls`
talk, they can discuss at least three subjects before
the time ends. The mental capacity of a woman is thrice
advance rather than man. That is why young girls get boring
when they are talking to young boys.
In their emotional aspect, woman is more sensitive than
man. Man used to keep their feelings inside. That is the
reason why most men committed suicide and the number of
death rates is higher than women. A man when it comes
to a relationship, he used to keep it as long as the woman
wants to stick with it. But woman breaks it when they
feel love from other man. Man has more contentment in
life rather than woman. Woman in our modern society prefers
career, they became practical now than before.
In their sexual aspect, when we are going to assess it,
we will find out that woman is wilder than man when it
comes to sexual relationship. Yes, that is true. That
is the reality that most women do not accept. But men
are more aggressive when it comes in engaging on it.
The psychological differences between man and women are
less obvious. They can be difficult to describe. Yet these
differences can profoundly influence how we form and maintain
relationships that can range from work and friendships
to marriage and parenting.
Recognizing, understanding, discussing as well as acting
skillfully in light of the differences between men and
women can be difficult. Our failure to recognize and appreciate
these differences can become a life long source of disappointment,
frustration, tension and eventually our downfall in a
relationship. Not only can these differences destroy a
promising relationship, but most people will grudgingly
accept or learn to live with the consequences. Eventually
they find some compromise or way to cope. Few people ever
work past these difficulties. People tend to accept what
they don't understand when they feel powerless to change
Relationships between men and women are not impossible
or necessarily difficult. Problems simply arise when we
expect or assume the opposite sex should think, feel or
act the way we do. It's not that men and women live in
completely different realities. Rather, our lack of knowledge
and mutual experience gives rise to our difficulties.
Despite great strides in this country toward equality,
modern society hasn't made relationships between men and
women any easier. Today's society has taught us and has
imposed on us the expectation that men and women should
live together continuously, in communion, and in harmony.
These expectations are not only unrealistic but ultimately
they leave people feeling unloved, inadequate, cynical,
apathetic or ashamed.
The challenge facing men and women is to become aware
of their identities, to accept their differences, and
to live their lives fully and as skillfully as possible.
To do this we must first understand in what ways we are
different. We must avoid trying to change others to suit
our needs. The following illustrates some important differences
between men and women. These differences are not absolute.
They describe how men and women are in most situations
most of the time.

The New York Press Club has recognized City Limits' coverage of housing issues and its investigation into the use of forced medication at a city hospital.
A team including Kate Pastor, Batya Ungar-Sargon, Abigail Savitch-Lew, Adam Wisnieski, Neil deMause, Abbie Nehring, Genia Gould, Kenneth Thorbourne, Jillian Jonas and Adi Talwar won the award for best continuing coverage for City Limits' extensive coverage of housing issues in 2015, a year that saw crucial decisions by NYCHA, developments in homelessness, the roll-out of the mayor's affordable housing plan and key decisions by Albany legislators on rent regulations and real-estate tax breaks.
Our housing coverage over the past year has been supported by the New York Community Trust, the Charles H. Revson Foundation and the Fund for Investigative Journalism.
Ben Hattem won the Nellie Bly Cub Reporter Award for internet/magazine for his article on the use of forced medication at Bellevue Hospital, a project funded by the Investigative Fund at the Nation Institute and edited by the Fund's Sarah Blustain.
The timing of the awards is apropos: City Limits is marking its 40th anniversary this year, celebrating a history defined by dedication to housing coverage and investigative reporting.

Chandigarh is pretty famous for its fun and hang-out places. Personally, I haven't been to many such places. I am not much of a hang-out person I suppose. But there's this one place I fell in love with the moment I stepped inside and would strongly recommend to all of you to visit at least once during your stay at the City Beautiful.
A book and a cup of coffee or let us say A book and food, that's probably everything a Bookaholic needs to survive. BOOKS AND BREW, Sector 16, Chandigarh has the perfect ambience for any person who loves these two. Just grab a book & some food, take a seat and enjoy the bliss.
The interiors are beautiful. The woodwork, the paintings, oh! the dreamcatchers (love them the most), the ceiling has this wooden chick blind texture which gives the place an awe-inspiring look. Just totally love the place <3
Oh, by the way, did I tell you the place has this amazing bunker bed kind of seating. So you can basically climb up, away from the crowd and enjoy your time. Isn't that amazing? If you have a beautiful company, the experience becomes even better <3
And if you are with your friends and want to have some good time, the food here is really good and you can also play games like Chess, Ludo etc. This place gives you comfort and belonging there kinda feeling.Yeah, It gave me these amazing vibes 😀
I had wanted to write about this place for some time now, but never really did.
By the way, Did I tell you that I could have literally lived there? 😛 😉

Why do you have to drive to the flight line to watch early arrivals? Couldnt you just park somewhere close by and walk?
Why do you have to drive to the flight line to watch early arrivals? Couldnt you just park somewhere close by and walk?
Todd Stovall
RV-10 N728TT - Flying
My builder's log (which is woefully out of date): www.mykitlog.com/auburntsts
Because your not handicapped?
By the time Friday rolls around I'm allowed on the taxiway to watch the arrivals. Before that we stand back and wait for things to come to us.
My legs & back don't work as well as they use to.
The other reason is the vastness of the convention grounds.
There is no way around it, it is just more efficient (quicker)
to use a motorized device to transport volunteers from point A. to point B.
The past few years I have flown in on Saturday, camping at Warbirds. I try to stay out of the way of people trying to set up in that area. However, last year, it almost seemed like the unofficial start date was Sunday, with a large number of people there and into everything. The display and vendor people seemed to be very accommodating (and I was very happy that the food stations were up and operating.) This could be an effort to regain some measure of order to keep the "unofficial" AirVenture start date from creeping ever further back. I think this new policy is reasonable and I will work with it.
Chris Mayer
The day before the official start has always been busy because many want to be there when the thing opens Monday morning. For the past bunch of years, the daily wristband for Monday has also covered Sunday admission.
I don't begrudge the food being open early. This was NOT always the case in the past. We'd arrive two days before the show started and the only food option was to jump the fence to Friar Tuck's. That wasn't bad when I was camping in the North 40, but when we moved to Vintage, it's a long hike. Thank heavens for Vintages Tall Pines cafe and earlier setup of the food vendors (and the volunteer kitchen).

There are numerous pathologic causes of galactorrhea. Hyperprolactinemia and hypothyroidism are frequently associated with galactorrhea as a result of hormonal imbalances. Patients with acromegaly sometimes have hyperprolactinemia, and some also have galactorrhea. Here, we report on a male patient with acromegaly who suffered from galactorrhea without hyperprolactinemia. This 42-year-old patient had a pituitary adenoma, but his serum hormone levels were within normal ranges, except for the growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor 1. Transsphenoidal surgery was performed and subsequent histopathologic studies confirmed it was a plurihormonal adenoma. After surgery, his GH and IGF-1 levels decreased to within the normal ranges, and his galactorrhea also disappeared. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a male patient with acromegaly who suffered from galactorrhea without hyperprolactinemia.

Speaking of the macaroni and cheese from a box, Josephine and Genevieve are different in OH SO MANY ways, but one that is very interesting to me is their eating habits. I made a box of macaroni and cheese for lunch and added broccoli, tomatoes, and diced grilled chicken. Josephine ate every bite with gusto. Genevieve painstakingly picked out the macaroni and cheese and left everything else in the bowl, then asked for more. At this point, the only vegetable she will eat (sometimes) is bell pepper, and you might as well forget about meat. She doesn't even like strawberries! Who doesn't like strawberries? It's gotten to the point where I'll sometimes sigh to myself at bedtime and think, well, she had pickles today, so ... that counts as a vegetable, right?
This has been a funny little nature vs. nurture moment, because from the beginning, I fed Genevieve the way I did Josephine, and they get the exact same meals (especially now that G can have dairy). I offer a variety of healthy foods with enthusiasm, Jeremy and I let her see us enjoying healthy foods, and I don't use foods as punishments or rewards. Josephine will eat anything you put in front of her and then thank you for making it for her, and Genevieve will give you a withering look, throw it to the ground, and beg for ketchup.
|This is Genevieve shaking her head "no" and saying "BLECH!" at the same time. Charming.
Nature - 1, Nurture - 0.
Don't worry, I give her vitamins, and she makes up for being picky by being really really cute. Fellow parents of picky eaters, I send you a fistbump of solidarity.

Council rap over turbines
Credit: The Star, www.thestar.co.uk 13 June 2011 ~~
Town councillors are crying foul over plans to build three giant wind turbines in their area of South Yorkshire.
Members of Stocksbridge Town Council claim they have been treated 'discourteously' by Barnsley Council for failing to send details of the application to build the 75-metre structures on Hunshelf Bank overlooking Stocksbridge and Deepcar.
Stocksbridge town councillor Jack Clarkson, who is also a member of Sheffield Council, said: "This is extremely discourteous of Barnsley Council because if this planning application is approved these three turbines will have a much greater impact on our area than on the Barnsley side of this site."

Display dimmed, colour washed, and misaligned
My Digimate L-1715 monitor is fine for about 3 seconds. The screen then goes black, there is a beep, the screen redisplays dimmed with a colour wash (red as I type this), in a compressed horizontal aspect that cuts a bit off the left-hand side, and leaves
about 5cm of the screen unused on the right-hand side.
If I remove the video connection for a few seconds, and reconnect, I get the correct display -- except the screen then goes black, there is a beep, and the screen redisplays etc.
Keys to the Problem Display dimmed, colour washed, and misaligned
Download Error Fixer for Free Now
Connect the computer to a different monitor.
Obviously if you don't have one you'll need to haul the computer over to a friend's house or take it to a tech.
If you do the latter, don't use a BigComputerStore/GeekSquad type of place.
If the problem is gone
when the computer is connected to a different monitor, you need to replace yours.
If the problems continue when connected to a different monitor:
First try updating the video drivers.
See the end of this post for where to get drivers.
If updating the drivers doesn't help, the video card is failing and needs to be replaced.
Never get drivers from Windows Update.
Get them from:
The device mftr.'s website; OR
The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR
The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM computer (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).
Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the drivers.
To find out what hardware is in your computer:
Read any documentation you got when you bought the computer.
If the computer is OEM, go to the OEM's website for your specific model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway)

I've known Josh Almost 10 years and He has always owned at least one dog. He's the only one I know who physically is engaged with animals. He definitely doesn't treat them any different than humans (for the most part).
Joshua is the biggest dog lover I've ever met. Once we was driving and it was a stray dog he pulled over to feed it and give it water. I've never met anyone who treats animals just as equal as humans as he does.
Josh sitts for my 2yr old Yorkie, Kameron and they get along great! He responds well to dogs' energies and even has taken Kam on play dates with other pets, to this day I've had no problems. He's just as loving as he is attentive with Kam; and anytime I need last minute arrangements made for Kameron to be watched, Josh is the first person who comes to mind :-D
About Joshua
I'm an energetic, artsy kid
I've personally own a dogs myself and over the years I've had number of dogs that loved. It doesn't take long for dogs to warm up to me I welcome them with open arms like they are my own. I'm super active so I love to play just as much as they might do. They're like my best friends and all they want is some love and attention and I'm that guy to give that ...
What Joshua would like to know about your dog
Everything so i could be prepared for whatever is thrown my way
Additional Skills
About Joshua's Home
When Joshua watches your pet
this will all depend on the owner but me personally i like to take my dog for a good long walk maybe to the park so we could play a little as well, that way i know they'll handle their business and be ready to head back home cause i tired them out

Why is it justified?: Providing a material platform for students to communicate freely among themselves as well as with the institution and the visiting public, The Students' Column will enhance the student body's visibility and sense of agency.
Title of the project: Water Bottle Fountain!
What is the project?: The project aims to fund the installation of a new water fountain that has the option of refilling water bottles with filtered water.
Where is it taking place?: The water bottle foundation will be installed in a location accessible to students in the Graduate Center building. The exact location has yet to be determined.
Why is it justified?: The project holds potential health and wellness benefits for students by providing a free, healthy, and sustainable option for getting water.

Grilled Flatbreads

Grilled Flatbreads
Rate This!
- In a medium bowl, combine warm water, the 2 tablespoons oil, the yeast, and sugar. Stir to dissolve yeast. Let stand about 10 minutes or until foamy.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine 3 cups of the flour and the salt. Stir yeast mixture into flour mixture until combined. Stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough that is smooth but slightly sticky (about 5 minutes total).
- Place dough in an oiled bowl, turning once to grease surface of dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in size (about 45 minutes).
- Punch dough down. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough into four equal portions. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll each portion into a 10-inch circle.* (It's okay if the shape is irregular; it adds to its rustic charm.) Continue preparing and grilling one flatbread at a time (or stack and store dough rounds until ready to use**).
- Sprinkle a baking sheet or pizza peel with cornmeal. Place a dough round on the baking sheet or peel. (When the baking sheet or peel is moved back and forth the dough should move freely.)
- For a charcoal grill, use the baking sheet or peel to transfer the dough round to the rack of a grill with a cover directly over medium coals (or you can gently pick up the dough and carefully place it on the grill rack). Grill, uncovered, about 3 minutes or until the bottom is lightly browned. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place dough round on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above) Using wide spatulas, remove the flatbread from grill. Turn flatbread over; return to baking sheet or peel. If desired, brush flatbread lightly with additional oil. Add a desired topping.
- Return flatbread to the grill. Cover and grill for 2 to 3 minutes more or until bottom of flatbread is lightly browned and cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining flatbreads. Makes 4 flatbread crusts.
From the Test Kitchen
If the dough springs back when rolling it out, let the dough rest for a minute or two and continue rolling.
Place one dough round on a baking sheet sprinkled lightly with cornmeal. Sprinkle top lightly with cornmeal and top with a sheet of parchment paper. Continue with remaining flatbreads, sprinkling each with cornmeal and topping with parchment paper. Stack all four flatbreads. Cover whole stack with plastic wrap or foil and chill for up to 4 hours.
