Havas Worldwide Appoints Dustin Duke and Jon Wagner as Group Creative Directors

I'm thrilled they'll be bringing their unique talents to bear on all the iconic brands within the Reckitt Benckiser portfolio," said Darren Moran, Chief Creative Officer of Havas Worldwide North America and New York.
Much lauded for their powerful storytelling and highly entertaining work, one of their most notable creative successes is the American Express "Animals" commercial featuring Ellen DeGeneres, which earned them the coveted Emmy Award for Best Commercial, one of three Emmy nominations they've received in their careers. Other creative honors include awards from Cannes, The One Show, Art Directors Club and D&AD. Duke and Wagner's work is also showcased in the permanent collection of MoMA and Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum.

Utah Rug & Fiber Guild Retreat at Daniels Summit Lodge
I just got back from the Utah Rug & Fiber Guild Retreat and I had a lot fun. It was exciting to see all of the rugs that everyone was working on and the ones they brought to show. The ladies in the groups are sooo talented. There will be pictures posted on the Utah Rug & Fiber Guild blog. Macaela took a lot of pictures for me so I will add some after they have been imported. Londi did a wonderful job teaching us about how to do different finishes on our stools, piano benches, baby high chairs. They all turned out wonderfully! Thanks Londi for all of your hard work and patience. On Saturday Londi taught a class about color and freeing ourselves from our chains of using only one pattern for our backgrounds and other areas in our rug. I am going to try and be a little more free with my patterns and colors when I hook. I think that everyone liked the colors that I had dyed. They looked so pretty on the tables. Angela and Nancy brought their wool also and they had some beautiful wool.
This is some of my hand dyed wool.
Here is some more. I think I got carried away with dyeing.
So I had 3 tables of As-Is and hand dyed wool.
The As-is wool.
A picture of all the Rug Hookers
Don't they look like happy rug hookers. The sad part is that we were getting ready to go home.
Londi is teaching us about color.
This is a picture of the lodge. There was a lot of snow!!!!! The food at the Grill was excellent!
Mary is working on her baby high chair. Isn't that a beautiful blue!

What is Insomnia?
Insomnia is defined as a difficulty going to sleep and/or staying asleep or have non-refreshing sleep with daytime sleepiness. There are two major types of insomnia, primary and secondary. Most people have experienced insomnia sometime in their lifetime if for only a brief time.
The majority of people who have insomnia have secondary insomnia. This type of insomnia can be caused by several different factors some of which are: medications, depression, hormone shifts, stress, mental disorders, sleep apnea, and shift work. Treating this type of insomnia includes finding the underline cause of your sleeping problem.
Primary insomnia sometimes referred to as "pure insomnia", can be caused by neurological or genetic conditions and is much harder to treat. A Sleep Medicine Physician will work through the process with you trying to find a solution that best fits your circumstances.
Treatment for Insomnia
Most issues regarding insomnia can be treated with CBT-I (Cognative Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia). Our CBT-I program is set up for five to six sessions with our APRN. Our APRN will assist you in making adjustments to your sleeping habits that will impact to your sleep over time.
What Information Should I Have Available Before Seeing the Doctor?
Keeping a journal of your stresses, medications you have taken, and sleeping patterns will be extremely useful for the doctor to determine the proper treatment of your insomnia. Most cases of insomnia can be treated without having a sleep study preformed; however, the doctor may feel that some other disorder may be causing your difficulties with sleep and prescribe a sleep study for you.

Trapped (1949) "The only thing better than money are the plates that make it"
January 21, 2016, 03:18:17 PM »
Trapped has one of those dreary quasi documentary style, stentorian narrated intros with US Treasury Department stock footage showing the printing and inspection of money. Once the propaganda sequence is over we segue nicely to a vignette between a bank teller and a matronly woman who is trying to transact with a $20 dollar bill. The vigilant teller spots the fake bill and confiscates it from the protesting woman stamping it with a large "Counterfeit". He tells her something to the effect that "if you are handling a lot of cash it's your duty to make sure it's good". I guess she goes without the groceries for a week.
A good 78 minute film noir from Contemporary Productions, by RKO contract director Richard Fleischer, who later filmed one of Noirsville's favorites The Narrow Margin (1952). The film was written by Earl Felton and, George Zuckerman. Cinematography was by Guy Roe (Armored Car Robbery, The Sound of Fury) The film stars Lloyd Bridges, Barbara Payton, John Hoyt, Douglas Spencer, James Todd, and Russ Conway.
Once we get that fake $20 at the bank it is sent to the Treasury Department where the agents determine that the counterfeit was a re-emergence of the same counterfeit bills from the Stewart Case. Tris Stewart (Bridges) is doing time, 14 years, in stir. In Atlanta The Treasury agents grill Stewart about the bills he replies "what do you think I'm doing, floating them out the window?" Stewart has been a model prisoner and is coming up for parole but the Agents tell him he'll do the rest of the 7 years if he cooperates. He tells them he's not a stoolie, but the agents are sure he'll come around. Bridges' Stewart, is handsome, smart, and suave, instead of smoking he's constantly chewing sticks of gum. Bridges reprises the same character type in 1950's The Sound Of Fury.
We cut to Noirsville, where a cross-country bus, with Kansas City on the destination board is stabbing the desolate dark with hi-beams. Inside Stewart is handcuffed to a sleeping officer. A sedan passes but pulls momentarily alongside and the driver gives a signal to Stewart. Stewart reacts by grabbing the officer's gun and telling the driver to pull over. The Sedan does a U-ie up ahead and drives back to the bus. Stewart hops in and they speed off.
The escape was a hoax for the Newspapers, Radio, and Newsreels. The sedan's driver was also a Treasury Agent. In return, Stewart and the agent will find Stewart's former partner Sam Hooker (Spencer) and suss out who's responsible for the new dough. Stewart fakes a cut from a broken glass and sucker punches the agent then lams out on the whole scheme.
Stewart hit's smoggy Tinseltown and tracks his loser stupe of a partner Hooker to his seedy residence hotel flop. There is a great acting sequence where Douglas Spencer shows his range, his down and out wino character Hooker is in an alcoholic fog and at first doesn't recognise Stewart, then after a few slaps he does, paling up to Stewart, then breaks down in terror completely when Stewart smacks him around while bouncing him off the furniture. Hooker ran out of money blowing it on women, cards, and horses, then he sold the plates to gangster Jack Sylvester (Todd) whose legit cover is the Citrus Land & Investment Company. When Stewart asks for his cut from the plates he tells him pathetically "I lost it".
Meg Dixon (Payton) is Stewart's blonde gal pal with benefits. She's been biding her Tris down time trolling for tips by flashing her pins and breasts as a skimpily attired Chesterfield cigarette girl in the Chanteclair, an LA nightclub. Agent John Downey (Hoyt) is undercover as a dapper dan, putting the moves on her and tipping ten spots for decks of cigarettes.
He's first posing as a loaded oil man, then as really a gambler/confidence man who wants in on the deal with Stewart to buy counterfeit money. He has $30,000 (that a fake newspaper clipping claims Downey chiseled from the Mojave Club) that they will use to by the money from Sylvester. Downey has the genuine hots for Meg, but is another undercover G-Man. The treasury agents are covering all bases and also have Meg's digs bugged.
With the deck stacked against Stewart, it all comes tumbling down. One fault of the script is that at the one hour mark the script switches the action from Stewart (Bridges) who gets booked in jail to Sylvester (James Todd) in the denouement, he doesn't quite measure up. The finale at the Los Angeles Trolley Car barn is a classic. It's a second tier Noir but still a good one. 7/10
Trapped was the film that got Barbara Payton noticed, however her brief shooting star career eventually fizzled out Noirishly. Her decline started with the film Bride of the Gorilla (1951). Payton's very public displays of excessive partying, drinking, and running around with the sleazeball set destroyed her credibility as a serious actress and she was written off by Hollywood.
Eventually Payton's growing alcoholism and drug addiction led to multiple skirmishes with the law, including arrests for the passing of bad checks and eventually an arrest on Sunset Boulevard for prostitution. On May 8, 1967, Payton died of heart and liver failure at the age of 39

Joe, this is a nicely plotted little procedural that gives value for (funny) money. The simple moral is expressed with a couple of plot twists: don't take everything at face value.
But CJ, there's no reason to hold out on your amazon Prime readers. They can view the evidence themselves at

Experienced help with iPhone water damage. I cant figure this out.
Ok so I own an iPhone repair shop and have repaired hundreds of iPhones.
This is the first time I have ever been completely stumped.
so there is a water damaged iphone.
I did the typical troubleshooting taking the phone completely apart (which honestly didn't look bad at all on the inside, in fact it was still wet when I got it)
I cleaned EVERYTHING even under the plates like usual put it back together and nothing.
so naturally I took my battery from my working iphone 4. still nothing.
finally I thought maybe its the screen ..since i didnt want to waste time with variable i took my screen off my iphone 4 and tried it since I knew it worked with my battery. nothing.
then I decided maybe it was the motherboard. took the water damaged motherboard and put it in my iphone. the water dmaged iphones motherboard worked perfectly.
then I decided maybe its the dock connector power so I took the water damaged one out and tried it in my phone and it worked fine.
I am completely stumped.
what could possibly be wrong if I know for certain that the screen,lcd, motherboard, battery, and dock connector are all working perfectly?
ugh someone help this is driving me crazy!
Is this a good question?
Have you changed your power flex cable?
it was water damaged and some corrosion does build up on the connector metal contacts so maybe when reseating it you got it to work. but it seems you got it all fixed and working.

This document provides guidelines about the status lifecycle of a project, and what a research team is permitted to undertake for each. The status can be changed at the time of renewal or modification of a protocol. Note that exempt protocols and those given a "no human subjects" or "not research" determination do not require renewal and do not have a formal modification process, and therefore this guidance is not applicable.
Newly approved expedited or full board studies have a study status of "open to enrollment". As activities are completed, more restrictive study statuses can be chosen as appropriate at the time of renewal or modification, as described below. Once a more restrictive status is selected, the study cannot revert to a less restrictive status so it is important to make this decision carefully. For example, if any of the "Permanently closed to additional enrollment" options are selected, enrollment cannot be re-initiated unless a New Study is submitted. Therefore, it is essential that enrollment not be closed prematurely. Data and Safety Monitoring must continue throughout the study.
Study Status
- remains ongoing (open to additional subject enrollment)
- remains ongoing (permanently closed to additional enrollment but subjects continue to undergo research-related activities)
- remains ongoing (permanently closed to additional enrollment and subjects have completed all required research activities but the research remains active for long-term follow-up of subjects). Note: the IRB considers long-term follow-up to be limited to review of medical records (i.e., information collected for clinical purposes) and checking for survival status either through contact with the subject or by a review of the National Death Index).
- remains ongoing (the ONLY research activity is data analysis).
Modifications: In the section "current status of study," Item 1, you will be asked to indicate the study status
Renewals: In item 2.0 of the Renewal Report Form, you will be asked to indicate the study status
Activities that may be done in each study status
* A waiver to document consent may have been approved in the protocol (section 4.6 of OSIRIS). This means that you will obtain consent using a method other than written and signed (documented) consent. Common examples include online consent for online surveys or verbal consent for research procedures. Subjects enrolled using an alternative
** A waiver to obtain consent (frequently paired with a waiver of HIPAA Authorization) may have been approved in the protocol (section 4.7 of OSIRIS). For example, this may apply to data collection when there is no subject interaction, such as when a protocol is limited to a medical record data abstraction. Each person whose data is collected under this waiver is counted as an enrolled subject.
Other Considerations
Note that renewals of studies that have been deemed minimal risk can be expedited, even if they originally were reviewed by the full board. Greater than minimal risk studies in long-term follow-up or data analysis only may also be expedited.
Once a protocol is closed, it cannot be re-opened. Any new analysis or research procedures to be conducted after a protocol is closed require a new IRB approval for the new activities. When all planned research procedures are completed, and materials are stored without / separately from direct identifiers, the protocol can be formally closed in OSIRIS even if data analysis is still ongoing. All studies must be officially closed upon completion or termination of all research activities. This includes when investigators leave the institution and no research will continue at this site.
Once a protocol is closed, data must continue to be stored locally according to the University of Pittsburgh data retention policy as well as any other applicable data policies on data retention, storage, ownership, transfer, source documentation, etc. (e.g. FDA, sponsor, department, etc.). Note that policies may differ based on subject age (e.g. child or adult) or other factors.

In the 33 years since she accused Roman Polanski of rape, Samantha Geimer has publicly forgiven the acclaimed director, accused the U.S. justice system of mistreating him and urged a dismissal of his still pending criminal case.
Today, Geimer is expected to act again on Polanski's behalf and ask that a Los Angeles County judge halt efforts to extradite the filmmaker from Switzerland.
In papers filed in Superior Court on Thursday, Geimer's lawyer accused the Los Angeles County district attorney's office of violating state victims' rights statutes by not consulting Geimer before seeking extradition.
In the filing, attorney Lawrence Silver wrote that Marsy's Law -- a 2008 statute passed by ballot initiative -- gives crime victims the right "to reasonably confer with the prosecuting agency, upon request, regarding . . . the determination whether to extradite the defendant."

Speaking to Barbara Walters on ABC, President Obama acknowledged that there have been many problems with the roll-out of the Affordable Care Act, but he remains confident that things will only continue to improve.
"I've gone up and down pretty much consistently throughout," Obama told ABC's Barbara Walters in an exclusive interview at the White House. "But the good thing about when you're down is that usually you got nowhere to go but up."
While the president's optimism in the face of his worst-ever poll numbers is admirable, his claim that there is "nowhere to go but up" is questionable at best. The employer mandate has already been delayed until 2015, but insurance companies have warned that over half of employer-based plans could be canceled under the law.

BJP ministers to boycott 'last' Bihar cabinet meeting
Upping the ante against JD(U), BJP today questioned the need for convening a Cabinet meeting by Bihar CM Nitish Kumar when he has firmed up decision to part ways with NDA, and said BJP ministers would boycott the "meaningless" meeting.patna Updated: Jun 16, 2013 12:21 IST
Upping the ante against JD(U), BJP on Sunday questioned the need for convening a Cabinet meeting by Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar when he has firmed up decision to part ways with NDA, and said BJP ministers would boycott the "meaningless" meeting.
"What is the need for convening the Cabinet meeting by the chief minister as all indications suggest that JD(U) has decided to split with the BJP-led NDA?" Bihar unit BJP president Mangal Pandey asked.
"Under the circumstances, it has been decided that the BJP ministers (11 in all) will boycott the Cabinet meeting," he told reporters outside deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi's official residence before going for a strategy meeting of senior BJP leaders, including the ministers.
Apparently resigned to the eventuality of JD(U) announcing its decision to part ways with NDA, Pandey mounted frontal attack on Nitish Kumar for keeping mum on his party leaders spewing venom against BJP and publicly talking about split even before a formal decision could be taken.
A JD(U) national spokesperson has already spoken about the alliance between the two allies falling apart and a senior minister has said that only a funeral procession is needed to taken out to bury the 17 year-long alliance, the Bihar BJP chief said.
He regretted that Kumar has never stopped his leaders and ministers against carrying out such offensive attacks against the alliance partner.
Stating that the diatribe of JD(U) leaders against BJP has all but concluded that the alliance was over, Pandey said BJP will nonetheless await official announcement by the JD(U) leadership and take appropriate steps only after that.
Meanwhile, state BJP leaders during deliberations with their 11 ministers are likely to finalise modalities of parting ways with the state government, informed sources said.

"But of all this daily drama of the body there is no record.
People write always of the doings of the mind; the thoughts that come to it;
its noble plans; how the mind has civilized the universe. They show it ignoring
the body in the philosopher's turret; or kicking the body, like an old leather
football, across leagues of snow and desert in the pursuit of conquest or
discovery. Those great wars which the body wages with the mind a slave to it,
in the solitude of the bedroom against the assault of fever or the oncome of melancholia,
are neglected. Nor is the reason far to seek. To look these things squarely in
the face would need the courage of a lion tamer; a robust philosophy; a reason
rooted in the bowels of the earth." –Virginia Woolf, On Being Ill

The only thing more difficult than writing a great transition is summoning the energy to write past that transition.
[UPDATE Later that same day*]:
Staying on task is also difficult. I try to do this by keeping little cryptic to-do lists and drinking gingko tea. Right now my list says:
- fix katharsis jumble- decide! where is this going? maybe just start all over here.
And my teacup is empty.
Relatedly, though, a sentence-and-phrase junkyard (a word document that's always open) is a must. Who knows what I will find in there?
*thank you, MIDMODERN SCHOLAR.

A couple days ago I got a query from the person I sometimes refer to as "my first former student" (which means my first advisee to be released into jobdom). Anyway, she wrote me, one of my colleagues (her other advisor), and that colleague's former student to ask how we "take/keep/find notes."
Since I've spent the morning reading and taking notes for the penultimate section of my last chapter, perhaps this photo would have been the best reply:
But that would risk making it seem far less unwieldy than it is. The exchanges that followed made both me and the original question poser a little more interested in how others take notes.
I rarely do the same thing every time I sit down to read an article or a book. Does anyone? Either way, we'd love to hear about it.

A musical about 1960s counterculture set entirely to Beatles songs is somewhere between the worst and best idea in the world. JM and I went to see Across the Universe this afternoon. Visually, it's as tasty as the big peanut butter chocolate chip cookie I munched on through the previews, and this isn't just because the three main characters are exquisite (note to Roger Ebert: please, please, please show this film at your festival and get Jim Sturgess to visit C-U!). Anyway, it's downright kaleidoscopic at times.
The main main character (Sturgess) is named Jude, and toward the end I was frantically trying to recall the lyrics to "Hey Jude" so I could know if it would end happily or not. (I hate spoilers just as much as surprises, and so even musicals can be wrenching.) A scene in a bowling alley was definitely my favorite, though some of the other surreal stuff doesn't work so well (apologies to Eddie Izzard), and the trailer, which boils the movie down to all of its references to the Beatles, makes it seem a lot sillier than it is.
I'm afraid though that the world needs a bit more than love. In fact, on the walk back, we revised the lyrics. Mine were "Love is a good start," and JM's were "Love can't hurt." That's probably why I married a marxist.

In the past five days, I've gone to, let's see, thirteen talks, all at least 30 minutes a piece (two of the talks went nearly an hour). That's a lot of talks, and a lot of talking. And with the possible outside exception of last night's really great talk by Lauren Berlant about affect theory and comtemporary precarity, none of them had much to do with stuff I am currently writing about.
But if they all--or even if half of them--related to rhetoric or bodies or affect or Kenneth Burke, I probably would have gotten bored. Instead, they were about the universe, ecocriticism, vision, time; about color and math and god and mind. I also wrote down a number of standout phrases and sentences; those are scattered all about my little summative notes.
The best off-the-cuff quips came from Sarah Broadie, an Aristotelian from Oxford, who framed her comment that she can't be bothered with contradictions in Plato with the caveat that some might think what she's about to say a "moral deficiency." And also from Berlant, who in asking the audience members to email her with feedback noted that she might not write back very quickly because it is the beginning of the term, the time when, as she puts it, "I'm giving things I don't have to people I don't know." Ah yes, I know what that's about.
What sharp, funny women.
All this is to say that the next time you feel too busy to go to a talk, just go already. You'll get to think more broadly about stuff; you're likely to learn something (e.g., after this weekend, my knowledge of physics has increased by at least 60%); and if you do it enough, you'll have witnessed a whole range of performances. It's one of the pleasures of being part of a vibrant campus culture.
And as part of the same logic--of making sure I hear smart people talk about the things they know-- I've been toting around a new book, Phaedra Pezzullo's Toxic Tourism, which I heard through the telephone line just won the Winan-Wilchelns Award. Hooray Phaedra! It's really terrific, people. You should add it to the list of "smart books I should read," pronto.

As metaspencer points out, the MLA job list came out last week. I don't usually make it a practice to recommend a book I've never read, but I still feel qualified to recommend the book at left, because I lived it.
My best guess is that Kathryn Hume's book is a straight-shooting guide to a rather brutal process. Let's just say that Hume's placement ship was run a lot like Pat Head Summitt's pre-tourney practices: intense, thorough, and a little bit painful. Oh, and both enjoy a hard look at the practice videotape.
Those of you who have actually read the book are invited to share your thoughts in the comments.

This summer, MS, a colleague who does cool research on the formation of NGO networks, first called to our attention something I'd only vaguely heard about: Community Supported Agriculture or CSA. This is when community members buy shares in local farms and in turn reap the bounty. It's like food stock, and it's a small way to resist big corporate farming that has all but taken over. Each week, 'shareholders' go to a designated location to pick up that week's share. MS even offered us her week's share in a Champaign CSA program when she was out of town in early June. We stopped by a place on Union street and got gooseberries and snap peas and lovely young onions.
This morning, we bought a share in the Urbana CSA (Moore family farms) which means that next season we'll be picking up the weekly (organic) bounty only four blocks away. One of the reasons we like living in the midwest is that it has the potential for sustainable living with all the farm land, etc., and a CSA is, as far as we can tell, one of the most direct ways to support small farms. So without seeming either smug or overly optimistic, I'm excited for next year's planting.

When I checked blogos's stats this morning and noticed that my recent post on the Timaeus conference has already made a round or two on email, I thought to myself "yah, blogging and the classics probably don't mix."
And while lots of scholars who study the ancient world probably think blogs are silly, some of their own still do it. Maybe my search engines failed me, but here's what I came up with, and some are a little, ahem, out of date. If you know of other classics blogs, leave em in the comments.
Here's the sampler:
rogue classicism (the only one I'd known before my search)
campus mawrtius

text: I am going to be serving a lasagna bolognese (using spinach noodles and a bechemel) and another lasagna with shitakes and blueberries with a white truffle oil-parmesan reggiano fondue. I'm not great at pairing, but was thinking of serving a red burgundy. Does that sound like it would go with both? Im thinking some earthiness would complement the mushrooms/truffle oil yet still work with the bolongese. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

My name is Barbara Esses and I do events for a living. I'm Ruthie Hecht; I'm an event planner and I work with and for my mother. We're going to teach you the do's and don'ts for the perfect wedding. Jewish weddings are very involved.First of all check with your rabbi to see what elements he needs.Do you have to sign the marriage contract? Does he have specific rules for the ceremony? How religious do you have to be? In planning a Jewish wedding, typically you'll do cocktails first.Get all of that Jewish ceremonial stuff out of the way during cocktails.Then march down the aisle, have a beautiful ceremony and go into the party room. If you're going to have a horah I love the bride and groom doing their first dance, everybody standing around them and immediately going into it. When having a Jewish wedding definitely be aware of dietary needs.If you think that most of your guests are kosher don't serve lobster as the main course. There's also a great Jewish tradition called the mezinka,when your parents are marrying off their last child.Everybody gathers around and dances for them.That is obviously the biggest Jewish accomplishment for a Jewish mother and she's very proud - enjoy it and celebrate the evening. One of the most famous Jewish wedding traditions is the groom breaking a glass at the end of the ceremony.Definitely be sure you take a light bulb, wrap it in a napkin and let him step down on it with his heel.Putting a real drinking glass there, he won't be able to break it and your guests will be watching him fumble for five minutes. There are so many aspects to a Jewish wedding, but those are some of the basics.

I found a super cool, mid-century set of napkin holders. Great for a lover of all things mid-century, or for a hostess gift.
The warmth of the teak wood looks lovely paired with some feminine china.
Or you could pair it with some simple white china for a more modern-masculine look.

The Maricopa Unified School District administers both standardized and classroom assessments at each school site. These assessments provide students, teachers and parents with information about how well a student is learning essential knowledge and skills in the academic areas of reading, writing, mathematics, and science. Data from these assessments also help teachers and administrators identify students who would benefit from additional or different opportunities to learn, improve classroom instruction for students, recognize areas of focus for school and district improvement efforts, and monitor student progress towards meeting educational standards.
AzMERIT (Arizona's Measurement of Educational Readiness to Inform Teaching) is Arizona's new statewide achievement test administered to students in 3rd through 12th grade. Students will take AzMERIT in English Language Arts and Mathematics at their specified grade level each year. In high school, students will take AzMERIT end-of-course tests in English classes in 9th through 11th grade, along with Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. Click below for additional information regarding AzMerit.

How to read and understand your child's AZMerit test results
The Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) are a set of procedures and measures for assessing the acquisition of early literacy skills from kindergarten through sixth grade. They are designed to be short (one minute) fluency measures used to regularly monitor the development of early literacy and early reading skills. DIBELS are comprised of seven indicators of the skill area they are designed to assess. Each DIBELS measure is a quick and efficient indicator of how well a child is doing in learning a particular early reading skill.
These indicators include:
Phonemic Awareness: Hearing and using sounds in spoken words
Alphabetic Principal and Phonics: Knowing the sounds of letters and sounding out written words.
Accurate and Fluent Reading: Reading stories and other materials easily and quickly with few mistakes.
Vocabulary: Understanding and correctly using a variety of words.
Comprehension: Understanding what is spoken or read.
SchoolCity is comprehensive, standards-based, and research supported. The system provides an array of standards-aligned and innovative curriculum, assessment, instructional effectiveness, and reporting tools.

College of Engineering
Mission of the College
Virginia Tech is the home of the commonwealth's leading College of Engineering. It is known in Virginia and throughout the nation for the excellence of its programs in engineering education, research, and public service. It is the states largest engineering college, and eighth largest nationally for undergraduate degrees awarded.
The mission of the College of Engineering is to offer high quality support for our stakeholders in order to provide a successful experience in the engineering education pursuits of our customers. The vision of the college is to foster strong working relationships between faculty, student and industry partners that will ultimately bring research opportunities through engineering educational offerings. The goals of the college are to attract high-caliber students and to provide them with a top-quality engineering education in preparation for productive careers; to invest in faculty development to enhance Virginia Tech's reputation as a research university and a leader in graduate education; and to forge new links with industry and government to facilitate economic development within the Commonwealth and the nation.
In U.S. News & World Report's Americas Best Colleges 2009 survey, the College of Engineerings undergraduate program again ranked 14th among all accredited engineering schools. Two undergraduate engineering programs rated among the top 10: aerospace engineering at 10th and industrial engineering at 6th. On the graduate school level, the college ranked 27th among all schools of engineering, with four departments finishing in the top 10 of their respective category. The National Science Foundation placed the college 11th in the nation among the hundreds of engineering colleges for research expenditures.
The College of Engineering offers bachelor of science degrees in the following areas: Aerospace Engineering, Biological Systems Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Construction Engineering and Management, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Science and Mechanics, Industrial and Systems Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mining Engineering and Ocean Engineering. All other College of Engineering undergraduate programs in engineering are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, telephone: (410) 347-7700. The Computer Science program is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, telephone: (410) 347-7700.
Engineers play an important role in modern society. They design and develop new and better materials, products and processes for households and industries, from tiny semiconductors to huge dams. Engineers are needed across a broad spectrum of industry from the traditional field such as mechanical to the emerging fields of robotics and biomedicine. Engineers must not only satisfy society's demand for improved performance, reliability and safety of products, they also are expected to supply solutions for environmental and social problems created by new technology.
Men and women trained in engineering will find many professional outlets. They may join large or small manufacturing industries or they may offer their skills and knowledge as professional consultants. They may work in government or private research laboratories or teach and do research in universities. If the future leads them into other professions (medicine, law or business), their engineering education will provide a sound base. Graduates of the College of Engineering are in high demand. Our student-run Engineering EXPO attracted more than 270 employers in 2008, and we are a key recruiting school for more than 40 major corporations.
It is essential that engineers, regardless of specialty, be well versed in mathematics, the physical sciences and the engineering sciences so that they can adapt readily to meet the professions ever-changing demands. But professional training is not enough. Engineers need to have imagination and insight. They must understand the history and traditions of the society in which they live. They also must be broadly familiar with the social sciences and humanities. Last, but not least, engineers must be able to communicate effectively with higher management and the general public. All departments within the college are implementing programs to ensure that every graduate is able to effectively use a variety of spoken, visual and written communication strategies which are necessary for success as a student, for employment, and for life as a responsible citizen. Additional emphasis is being placed in freshmen engineering classes to emphasize the importance of communications in engineering analysis and design. Engineers who are well educated, not just well trained, will be better equipped to develop scientific knowledge into useful technology.
Innovations of the College of Engineering
In a move recognized by the National Academy of Engineering for its leadership, the College transformed its Engineering Fundamentals program into the Department of Engineering Education. While Engineering Education will continue to train freshmen in the fundamental principles of engineering, that curriculum has been broadened to accommodate the Department of Computer Science within the College. The basic ideas and principles inherent in the freshman year such as the scientific method, an introduction to design, an understanding of the engineers or technologists role and responsibility in modern society, and a first exposure to technical communication can be imparted in both an analog and a digital environment. Engineering Education also has developed M.S. and Ph.D. programs to prepare students to teach engineering or technology at any level, from kindergarten to college. The National Science Foundation has supported these developments through several major grants.
Tenured or tenure track faculty teach more than 90 percent of all engineering courses at Virginia Tech. Engineering faculty members focus on solving real world problems, and share these experiences in the classroom. The work of the faculty with industry brings modern, up to date knowledge back to the classroom quicker than any textbook. These experiences provide a hands-on dimension that result in the superlative quality of engineering teaching for which Virginia Tech is so well known.
Virginia Tech engineering undergraduates are fortunate to have a combination of excellent classroom instruction and the opportunity to participate in "hands-on, minds-on" engineering training. Two unique facilities, established by the generosity of College of Engineering alumni, are available to undergraduates. In the Joseph F. Ware, Jr. Advanced Engineering Laboratory, students design and construct competition projects including Formula SAE race cars, Baja SAE vehicles, human-powered submarines and airplanes, radio-controlled aircraft, steel bridges, autonomous aerial and underwater vehicles, and hybrid electric vehicles. In the Frith Freshman Engineering Design Laboratory, freshmen learn engineering principles by working with a number of mechanisms donated by industry sponsors.
The Virginia Tech Institute for Critical Technology and Applied Science (ICTAS) has emerged as a vital vehicle that presents a strong link to economic development for the entire Commonwealth. Led by Virginia Tech's College of Engineering, ICTAS presents a case for advancement of humankind through collaborative research, and it represents a strong link between all of the colleges of engineering across the Commonwealth. For the undergraduate, ICTAS will provide opportunities for research employment.
In 2007 ICTAS dedicated its first building, the Nanoscale Characterization and Fabrication Lab. Located in Virginia Techs Corporate Research Center, the lab is a 32,000 square-foot facility on par with the best nanotechnology labs in the world. In March 2009, the ICTAS-I building opened in the College of Engineering corridor along Stanger and Old turner streets. The 99,000-square-foot building now serves as the institutes home base, housing the School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences as a principal tenant, in addition to the Sustainable Water Infrastructure Management program head by faculty members Marc Edwards and Sunil Sinha.
Approved by the Virginia General Assembly, the ICTAS-II building soon will be constructed in the universitys life sciences corridor to house research labs with a biotechnology focus. The three facilities will provide a total of 200,000 square feet of additional space for College of Engineering researchers and colleagues from the colleges of Science, Natural Resources, and Veterinary Medicine.
Work also is moving ahead on the planned Signature Building. To be located near the corner of Stanger Street and Peppers Ferry Road, the facility will house many of the Colleges core departments and serve as a leading center of engineering education in Virginia.
It always has been the philosophy of Virginia Tech's College of Engineering to get the right technology in the hands of our students. This reasoning fostered our pioneering decision in 1984 to become the first large public university to require our entering engineering freshmen to purchase a PC. In 2002, the College of Engineering switched the requirement to a Notebook computer. In 2006, in order to provide the opportunity for our engineering students to continue their education at the cutting edge of technology, we moved to the Convertible Tablet PC. Use of this device in and outside of class provides our students with experiences that they will use in the future.
The School of Construction provides undergraduates and graduates more choices for pursuing construction education. It is anticipated that the undergraduate degree in construction engineering and management will complement the existing degree programs in building construction and in civil and environmental engineering. The school will work with faculty from multiple departments to provide students with additional opportunities to pursue concentrations, minors, or support courses related to construction. The Myers-Lawson School and the Department of Building Construction is located at Bishop-Favro Hall, a 31,600-square-foot building that provides classroom space, seminar rooms, and studios for students. The facility also houses state-of-the-art laboratory spaces, include testing labs, wet labs, material handling, tool and welding labs, and workshops for assembly of construction systems.
Green Engineering
Virginia Tech was one of the first universities to formally consider the connection between engineering practice and environmental stewardship from an interdisciplinary perspective. The Green Engineering Program was created in 1995 and serves all departments within the College of Engineering.
This program combines environmentally conscious attitudes, values, and principles with science, technology, and engineering practice, and focuses this interdisciplinary approach toward improving local and global environmental quality. Based on engineering fundamentals, green engineering analyzes the design of products, processes, and systems to minimize the life cycle environmental impacts, from the initial extraction of raw materials to the energy consumption and waste production during manufacturing to the ultimate disposal of materials that cannot be reused or recycled.
Examples of Accomplishments at the National Level
A student team from of the College of Engineerings Robotics & Mechanisms Laboratory (RoMeLa) won the grand prize at the 2008 International Capstone Design Fair in South Korea with a trio of pole-climbing serpentine robots. The team scored the cash prize of 1 million won the currency of South Korea -- with its robots, the HyDRAS-Ascent (Hyper-redundant Discrete Robotic Articulated Serpentine for climbing), the HyDRAS-Ascent II and CIRCA (Climbing Inspection Robot with Compressed Air), at the 2008 International Symposium on Educational Excellence 2008 competition. The autonomous robots are designed to climb scaffolding and buildings by wrapping around a poll or beam and then rolling upward via an oscillating joint motion. Using built-in sensors and cameras, the robots would then inspect the structures or handle other dangerous tasks now done by human.
The Engineers Forum, a magazine produced quarterly by Virginia Tech students on issues relating to the College of Engineering, announced a $100,000 gift to the Universitys Education Foundation. The gift will be divided into two funds that will be used to provide scholarship money to officers of the magazine on a permanent basis. In 2001, the Engineers Forum created its initial endowment. That first endowment directs scholarship money of $500 per semester to the editor-in-chief of the magazine.
A student team, consisting of undergraduate and graduate students within the materials science and engineering (MSE) department, created a new, highly durable brick tha tone day could be used to help build moon colonies. The bricks won the 2008 In-Situ Lunar Resource Utilization materials and construction category award from the Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems (PISCES). The award was one of two prizes given out this year by the research center, which is dedicated to supporting life on the moon and beyond. Initially designed to construct a dome, the building material is composed of a lunar rock-like material mixed with powdered aluminum moldable into any shape. Design work on the early-development lunar bricks was based on previous work by the student teams adviser Kathryn Logan, of the MSE department and the Virginia Tech Langley Professor at the National Institute of Aerospace (NIA) in Hampton, Va.
A student team won first place at the Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration (SME) / National Stone, Sand, and Gravel Association (NSSGA) Student Design Competition. The team won a $2,000 cash prize, as well as products donated by InfoMine USA Inc. A second team of students, also from Virginia Techs Department of Mining and Minerals Engineering (MME), earned fifth place. It marked the second consecutive year that Virginia Tech placed two teams in the finals, as well as the second year in a row that the university captured the top spot at the competition.
A team from the Bradley Electrical and Computer Engineering Department won the Smart Radio Challenge competition for the second time in 2008. The event was part of the annual Software Defined Radio conference held in Washington, D.C. Virginia Techs Center for Wireless Telecommunications (CWT) team members were awarded first prize for solving the problem of how to handle communications from an infrastructure damaged area. They were grand prize winners in last years inaugural competition.
A team of six undergraduate aerospace engineering students earned first place honors with their entry of STINGRAE in the 2008 NASA Aircraft Design Competition sponsored by the space agencys Aeronautics Research Mission Directorates Fundamental Aeronautics Program, part of NASAs Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate. The students entry into the competition was part of a two-semester senior aircraft design course for graduating seniors.
Major Undergraduate Scholarships
For the 2008-2009 academic year, a total of $2,178,712 was awarded to undergraduate students in the College of Engineering. Funding is provided by 67 scholarships administered by the College and 144 scholarships administered throughout the engineering departments. Four students who entered the College fall semester 2008 were selected as Dean's Scholars. These scholarships are open to all incoming engineering freshmen and are awarded based on academic potential, community service, leadership potential, family circumstances and essay quality. Each scholarship is available for up to four years of undergraduate study, based on academic performance. The College offered three new freshman and 9 continuing Eleanor Davenport Leadership Scholarships. The Davenport Scholarship provides full in-state tuition and fees and is renewable for students who maintain at least a 3.5 grade point average (out of a possible 4.0). The largest sponsor of upper-class scholarships continues to be the Gilbert and Lucille Seay Scholarship Fund, with 128 students receiving a total of $229,100 in scholarship funding.
Additional Facts about the College
The University Honors Program offers a unique challenge to the student with extraordinary intellectual and creative ability. The program is available to all engineering departments and includes the opportunity for enrollment in accelerated courses, enriched sections, and independent study.
A five-year Cooperative Education program for qualified students is available in all of the engineering curricula. After at least two qualifying semesters, students may alternate semesters of study on campus with work periods in industry. Participants are required to have a minimum of a 2.0 overall GPA, and students must have earned a 2.0 in the semester prior to any work experience. Individual departments may impose higher GPA restrictions, including ones based on in-major GPA.
Approximately 7,442 students are enrolled in undergraduate and graduate engineering departments at Virginia Tech as of spring 2009. More than 37 percent of the undergraduate students are from out-of-state, primarily from Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York. In the entering 2008-2009 freshman class, the average SAT score for the general engineering student was 1270 and the average high school grade point average was 3.87 on a 4.0 scale. Approximately 17 percent of the entering class are female. Another 18.3 percent are members of under-represented populations.
Of the 2007-2008 College of Engineering graduates who were employed full-time, (the most recent year for which statistics are known), 97 percent were employed in a field related to their major. The average annual salary at the bachelor's level was $56,632.
All students admitted to the College of Engineering as freshmen are placed in the Department of Engineering Education and are designated as General Engineering students. Upon completion of a set of required freshman-level courses, students with acceptable academic records are eligible for transfer into one of the college's 14 degree programs. (The exception is that students who are on the Dean's List their first semester may elect to transfer after one semester.) Admission to a degree program is competitive, with departmental restrictions established each year by the college. Students transferring to Virginia Tech from another college or university will be considered for admission to a degree granting engineering program if they have completed all courses required of Virginia Tech engineering freshmen, based on transfer credit evaluation by the Office of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. Other eligible transfer students may be offered admission into the General Engineering program. All freshmen and transfer admission decisions are made by the University Undergraduate Admissions Office.
The college has a transfer articulation agreement with the Virginia Community College System. VCCS students who complete the Associate Degree in engineering with a minimum 3.0 grade-point-average and who complete a specified list of academic courses are guaranteed admission to the College of Engineering. Not all Virginia Community Colleges offer engineering courses. The Associate Degree in engineering is offered at Central Virginia, J. Sargeant Reynolds, John Tyler, New River, Northern Virginia, Southwest Virginia, Thomas Nelson, Tidewater, and Virginia Western Community Colleges.
The Associate Degree in science with specialization in engineering is offered at Piedmont Virginia Community College.
Engineering Technology credits are not accepted for transfer by the College of Engineering.
Students wishing to transfer into an engineering program from another college or degree program within the university must meet current standards set by the college for each engineering program. Application materials are available in the College of Engineering Academic Affairs office in 212 Hancock Hall.
Required Academic Progress
Minimum requirements for graduation include the attainment of at least a "C" (2.0 Grade Point Average) average, both overall and in-major. Some departments may have additional requirements or specifications concerning the acceptability of C- or lower grades for in-major courses. Students are expected to sustain progress towards completion of their degree requirements, consulting with their academic advisor regularly.
In addition to meeting university requirements, requirements for enrollment have been established by individual departments..
Entry into a degree-granting department requires that a student successfully complete all first year required courses. Additional requirements are specific to degree programs and are as follows:
Graduation Requirements
Degree requirements in the college range from 120 to 136 semester hours. Students should see their departmental advisor to determine the exact requirements of their degree. The 2.0 GPA minimum requirement for graduation also applies to all courses attempted in the student's departmental major; substitute non-departmental courses are not included. Where courses have substantial duplication, credit toward graduation will be given for one course only. Up to 2 credits in physical education may be used toward graduation as free elective credit. ESM 4404 and other courses below the academic potential of the engineering student may not be used towards graduation.
The senior academic year must be completed in residence while enrolled in the major department in the College of Engineering.
Engineering curricula have uniform minimum requirements in the humanities and social sciences. The 18-credit minimum includes 6 credits of Freshman English, usually completed during the first year, and 12 credits of humanities and social science electives selected from Areas 2 and 3 (6 credits each) of the Curriculum for Liberal Education.
Although pass/fail courses may be authorized for those who maintain a GPA above 2.0, students should recognize future disadvantages when transferring to other departments or applying for admission to other professional or graduate colleges. Engineering students are expected to take all major department courses on a grade basis. Independent study and undergraduate research courses are available for those who maintain a GPA above 2.0 overall and in their departmental majors; some departments may require a higher GPA.
The College of Engineering will accept advanced ROTC credit as free elective credit towards graduation. Some departments in engineering may allow the use of selected ROTC courses to meet technical elective requirements. Consult specific departments in the College of Engineering for information.

text: Today I decided to plug my VZW USB760 3G modem into my Macbook Pro. I installed 10.7DP3 on it, just to play around. So when I plugged the modem in, I noticed a new icon in my menubar. So I went to look into it and it looks like Lion automatically configured my 3G modem and began connecting to it. Previously in 10.6 I had to install VZAccess Manager and connect that way. Now I feel I should mention that although my computer said it was connected I was not able to load a webpage or even ping anything, but I'm going to keep trying. I have not read or seen about this as a feature. I feel like it could open up the door for Apple to include 3G/4G modems built into their laptops. Is anybody else able to connect to their 3G modems through Lion?
