How Locks and Keys Work
There's no doubt that each and every one of us is using back home classical locks (to close a cellar, a storage closet etc.). Classical locks are easy to use and can be very useful in many situations. Mr locksmith Birmingham has several types of locks: cypher lock, warded lock, pin tumbler lock, disk tumbler lock or lever tumbler lock.
With their help, we can secure schools, institutions, containers etc.Being a locksmith, first requires an apprenticeship. Some of them even obtain a diploma or a certificate before starting to work. A top locksmith in Birmingham can specialise in automotive locks, he can be a master key specialist, or a safe technician. Although for a long period of time, a locksmith was making the entire lock, and all its parts, now he takes care more of door closers, frame repairs or electric strikes.
Modern locksmithing manages the implementation and design of control key systems. A Solihull locksmith is also asked to establish the level of security needed at a certain location.The pin tumbler is generally associated with the cylinder locks. This type of lock, contains a cylinder with a plug, which in order to open, it needs to rotate. The plug has a space where the key will be inserted, called the keyway. And vertically, a series of holes are being drilled into the plug, which will contain key pins of different lengths over which the key will slide.
Each key pin has a corresponding driver pin, which is spring loaded.In the moment when the key is inserted into the cylinder, the pins will rise and will align exactly in the point where they are at the same level. This will allow the plug to rotate, and will open the lock. A wrong key won't align the pins properly, and the plug won't rotate, preventing the opening of the lock.

Policies and Procedures of the Department of Religion
The following overview of the department's governance is intended for the faculty. Included here are policies and procedures for:
- General Organization
- Mentoring
- Peer Teaching Evaluations
- Release Time
- The Jaberg Award
- Merit Pay
- Tenure & Promotion
- Third Year Review
- Graduate Admissions Procedure
- Travel Authorization Request Form
General Organization
Within the Department, the ultimate authority resides in its voting members except in those instances when the College or University has vested authority in the Chair. Voting members of the Department are those who are budgeted to the Department and hold the rank of assistant professor or above. Operation of the department is conducted by the Chair, Associate Chair, Steering Committee, Graduate and Undergraduate Coordinators, and standing and ad hoc committees.
The Chair is the chief administrative officer of the department. S/he oversees the professional office staff and all aspects of the academic program, such as: teaching assignments, recruitment, space, promotion, tenure, and annual evaluation of faculty. The Chair appoints and supervises the Associate Chair, Graduate and Undergraduate Coordinators and selects and supervises the members of all committees. On a routine basis the Chair supervises the day-to-day activities of the Department and in conjunction with the coordinators and committees assures that all policies and procedures are carried out. In addition the Chair acts as a liaison between the Department and the College.
The Chair is also the chief financial officer of the Department. S/he is responsible for the final recommendations for salaries and leaves. The Chair supervises all receipts and expenditures and prepares the annual academic program review and budget proposal to the Dean. All budget documents shall be available to any voting member of the Department on request. In addition, the Chair acts as a liaison to the College development officers as well as the Advisory Board, both of whom aid in outside fund raising for the Department.
The Associate Chair is a faculty member appointed by the Chair for a three-year term and is given an annual course reduction. The Associate Chair's duties are designated by the Chair and normally include the scheduling of courses, oversight of the curriculum, administration of faculty teaching evaluations, oversight of the department web page, and responsibility for the department newsletter.
Standing committees include the Steering Committee, the Graduate Advisory Committee, and the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee.
- The Steering Committee serves as an advisory council to the Chair on all departmental matters, including merit raises. This committee consists of the Associate Chair, Graduate Coordinator, and the Undergraduate Coordinator.
- The Graduate Advisory Committee is responsible for the supervision of the graduate program including the admission of graduate students. This committee consists of the Graduate Coordinator plus three members selected by the Department. The committee is chaired by the Graduate Coordinator, and all members serve three-year terms. All members of the Graduate Advisory Committee should have graduate faculty status.
- The Undergraduate Curriculum Committee is responsible for the undergraduate curriculum. This committee consists of two members plus the Undergraduate Coordinator as chair. Members serve two-year terms.
Ad hoc committees, such as faculty search committees, are appointed by the Chair and approved by the Department from time to time for a fixed duration to meet departmental needs.
The Graduate Coordinator is a faculty member appointed by the Chair for a three-year term and is given an annual course reduction. With the Graduate Advisory Committee, s/he is responsible for the administration of the graduate program.
The Undergraduate Coordinator is a faculty member appointed by the Chair for a three-year term and is given an annual course reduction. S/he is responsible for undergraduate advising and in consultation with the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee oversees the undergraduate curriculum. The Undergraduate Coordinator also administers the Jaberg Award.
Faculty meetings are called by the Chair on a regular basis and when needed. The Chair presides at these meetings and determines the agenda, in consultation with the faculty. Fifty percent or more of the number of voting members of the Department excluding those on leave constitute a quorum.
Faculty on leave or absent from a meeting are permitted to vote on any specific motion provided they are fully informed of the issues under discussion with the one exception of votes to hire new faculty members. (Absent or on-leave faculty should not enter into the Department's conversation that has led up to the issue being presented for a vote. At the same time, absentees should feel invited to express reservations, institutional memories, and suggestions to the Chair who can then decide whether something important might be added or subtracted either now or at some point in the future). In the instance of hiring new faculty, a faculty member must have been present at both the job talk and faculty meeting with each candidate or have met individually with the candidate in the absence of either being present at the job talk or faculty meeting in order to register a vote in the final deliberations. Further, faculty members must be present when the final deliberations take place in order to register a vote.
The Chair will facilitate the appointment of a mentor for each untenured member as early as possible in their first semester. The choice of mentor need not be based on similarities of academic work. The emphasis should be on finding someone the untenured member can talk with freely about all matters concerning the tenure process.
The Chair will seek to assign a modest amount of administrative duties to tenure-track faculty while bearing in mind the need to balance the administrative load among all faculty.
Untenured members will be encouraged to share their work with their mentor and the Chair. They will be especially encouraged to discuss with their mentor the decisions they are making with regard to courses to teach, papers to present, and writing to publish with the mentor and Chair helping to evaluate these decisions in the light of the best possible tenure and promotion portfolio.
The Chair and mentor will encourage and guide the untenured member in seeking funding for research projects or release time.
Annually the Chair and/or mentor will visit the untenured member's classroom to evaluate their teaching.
The Chair and the mentor should meet to discuss the progress of the untenured faculty member on an annual basis.
Prior to the end of each academic year before tenure, the Chair will consult with the mentor and meet with the untenured member as needed concerning the end of the year evaluation letter.
Peer Teaching Evaluations
Each academic year the Chair and/or faculty mentor will carry out teaching evaluations of every untenured faculty member. Tenured faculty are encouraged to ask the Chair to appoint another tenured faculty member to carry out this evaluation on a regular basis.
Evaluations will be based on classroom visits and examination of syllabi, hand-outs, paper and exam assignments, web-related materials, and any other information the faculty consider relevant to judging his/her teaching.
These evaluations will be particularly concerned with techniques, style, and effectiveness of teaching as well as the content or substance of instruction, which reflect an individual's command of and fluency in one's field of expertise.
Release Time
Alteration of the usual 2-2 teaching load, course reduction, and research leave are all possible within the Department. Such actions are taken with clearly understood criteria, in consultation with the steering committee, and ultimately at the discretion of the Chair.
Current Department policy allows two instances of release time:
- Junior faculty are normally given a semester of research leave within their first three years with the expectation of increased research productivity. Here research leave is understood as release from all teaching and service requirements.
- The Graduate Coordinator and Undergraduate Coordinator are granted a one course annual reduction in exchange for their service. Here course reduction means teaching one less course in a year while continuing to participate in the normal life of the Department including assigned committee work.
The expectation of increased productivity or reward for service or some combination of the two should guide the granting of release time. In evaluating a request for release time, the Chair, in consultation with the Steering Committee, will consider such factors as: how recently and how often the individual faculty member has received time off, results of past leaves or course reductions, whether or not an effort has been made to secure outside funding, what service is being rewarded or being offered in return, class coverage and responsibility to graduate students, and the overall fairness and practicality of the request in the context of the competing needs and desires of other faculty members.
Types of release time include:
- Release from all teaching and service requirements (research leave)
- Course reduction of one or two courses without administrative release (course reduction)
Requests for release time need to be in the Chair's hands in sufficient time for the Chair and the Steering Committee to make a decision before the class offerings are submitted for the semester in question.
The Jaberg Award
The Russell Jaberg Award is given annually to the top graduating senior (or seniors) in the Department of Religion. The nominating procedure for this award is as follows:
- a group of top students are identified by GPA
- nominations from among this group are solicited from faculty
- top nominees are asked to submit up to 20 pages of their best written work (can be more than one piece)
- Judges should be whoever is teaching the senior seminar that year plus whoever taught the junior seminar the previous year. This means that there will be two faculty who have likely had the nominees in their classes.
- Eligible students are those graduating that spring or the following fall.
- The selection process is administered by the Undergraduate Coordinator.
- The award includes a financial component, which may be divided.
Merit Pay
It is the responsibility of the Department Chair in consultation with the Steering Committee to award merit pay increases to the faculty. The Steering Committee will be responsible for recommending to the Chair those individuals who shall be eligible for such awards. The deliberations of the committee shall remain confidential. The Steering Committee will determine for all eligible faculty members their place within four levels of merit pay. Each member of the Steering Committee will be excluded from discussion of her or his own assessment and, where applicable, the assessment of his or her spouse or partner. The assessments of each member of the steering committee will be made by the remaining members of the Steering Committee.
Despite the fact that the availability of merit funds is usually not known until early summer, these deliberations will take place every April at a time when all faculty are present. To be eligible for consideration for merit pay a faculty member must submit their annual activity report by the second Monday of April. The recommendations of the Committee will be completed by mid-May at the latest and given to the chair to guide his or her determination of individual awards.
Determinations of merit shall be based on consideration of faculty's annual research, teaching and service record. Since the availability of merit funds varies from year to year, up to three years of research, teaching, and service may be taken into consideration.
For purposes of evaluation, the current year's annual report, a current C.V., and if necessary the Steering Committee evaluations from the previous two years will be consulted.
The following shall be considered the rank-order of research productivity from most to least meritorious.
Tier One
Sole-authored, refereed scholarly books and monographs; co-authored, refereed scholarly books; major external grants and fellowships; refereed journal articles; co-authored refereed journal articles; refereed book chapters; co-authored refereed book chapters.
Tier Two
Authorship of textbooks; editorship of reference works; editorship of refereed scholarly books; co-editorship of refereed scholarly books; keynote addresses; non-refereed articles; non-refereed chapters in books; minor external grants and fellowships; review essays.
Tier Three
Invited external lectures; conference papers; internal fellowships and grants; encyclopedia and dictionary entries; book reviews; books written and under review; and articles and chapters written and under review.
Tier Four
Invited lectures at UF; books being written (demonstrable progress made); articles and chapters being written (demonstrable progress made).
Though an effort has been made to rank scholarly contributions according to four tiers and to make ranked distinctions within tiers, it is understood that there is some overlap between the tiers and certainly within them. Moreover, the committee seeks to be attentive to the "impact" of a scholarly contribution to a field of study.
Another significant consideration is the base line expectations for faculty in different ranks and/or salaries. Those in lower ranks and/or lower salaries will have less expected of them than those in higher ranks and/or higher salaries.
In sum, this is a necessarily heuristic process reliant upon the experienced judgment of the merit pay committee.
The category of teaching shall include undergraduate and graduate instruction; undergraduate honors, masters and dissertation thesis supervision; and other related activities.
For purposes of evaluation, student teaching evaluations and peer evaluations shall be considered. In addition, range of course offerings and degree of involvement in thesis supervision at all levels will be assessed. It is understood that faculty members will not be penalized because the demands of the curriculum have resulted in some teaching more at the graduate or undergraduate level.
The department considers the following guidelines to assess teaching performance:
- Techniques, style and effectiveness of teaching, which is assessed primarily through student evaluations and peer evaluations.
- The content or substance of instruction, which reflect an individual's command of and fluency in one's field of expertise. This can best be assessed by peer evaluation by colleagues and work in curriculum development.
- The level and range of a faculty member's teaching within the discipline. The Department expects that a faculty member will participate at all levels (according to Department needs), lower division and upper division, undergraduate and graduate, and that s/he will contribute to the program through supervision of undergraduate honors theses, masters theses, and/or dissertations.
The category of service shall include:
- Normal performance of departmental responsibilities, such as attendance at faculty meetings and recruitment colloquia, as well as work on standing and ad hoc departmental committees
It is assumed that the service of junior faculty will be lighter than those of senior colleagues. Other service activities that may be considered appropriate for merit evaluation include:
- exceptional performance of normal departmental responsibilities
- service on the Steering Committee, as Graduate Coordinator, or Undergraduate Coordinator
- service on college or university committees
- service in professional associations, editorial boards, or as a reviewer for professional journals or academic presses
- other activities that enhance the reputation and visibility of the Department, college or university
Tenure and Promotion
The policy of the Department of Religion for tenure and promotion conforms to the policies for tenure and promotion established by the college and university. The Department acknowledges the university's stipulation that the relative consideration given to the three areas of research, teaching, and service will be based on the percentages stated annually in the applicant's successive contracts. Normally this means that the Department expects all of its members to contribute on a regular and continuing basis to research, teaching, and service in that order of significance. We recognize that in the field of religious studies there are a variety of approaches to scholarly excellence. Faculty making decisions about tenure and promotion will consider standards appropriate to the individual candidate's sub-field.
The department has adopted the following guidelines for tenure and promotion of its faculty to Associate Professor.
To qualify for tenure and or promotion to Associate Professor a candidate must make a significant intellectual impact on in her or his field of scholarship, as determined by leading scholars in the field.
It is normally expected that a faculty member will have published or have "in press", a monograph or book length study based on original research to be published by an established scholarly press. ("In press" means that the manuscript has been accepted for publication and the book will appear in print in the near future). It is also expected that the candidate will have published original research in leading journals and/or book chapters in one's field. The quality of publications will be based on peer assessment.
Beyond these essential contributions, the Department welcomes additional supporting evidence of scholarly productivity that gives promise to a developing pattern of regular contributions to research. A list of the types of additional research activity recognized by the department includes co-authored books, edited books, encyclopedia, textbooks, review essays, book reviews, convention papers, invited addresses, and a demonstrated effort to seek grants and fellowships that further demonstrate an active scholarly agenda. Publications through peer-reviewed, recognized electronic journals will ordinarily be considered equivalent to traditional modes of publishing. The quality of these contributions will be determined by peer assessment within and outside the department.
The Department considers four aspects of regular teaching performance for promotion or the awarding of tenure.
- Techniques, style and effectiveness of teaching for which student evaluations and peer evaluations are especially relevant.
- The content or substance of instruction, which reflect an individual's command of and fluency in one's field of expertise. This can best be assessed by peer evaluation by colleagues and observed through departmental colloquia, work in curriculum development, and peer classroom visitations.
- The level and range of a faculty member's teaching within the discipline. The Department expects that a faculty member will participate as needed at all levels, lower division and upper division, undergraduate and graduate. It is expected that faculty will also teach both the traditional core courses of their discipline and offer important new courses.
- Supervision of undergraduate honors theses, masters theses, and/or dissertations. Faculty especially in the areas of the department's three graduate tracks are expected to play an active role in mentoring graduate students, especially through serving on their thesis committees.
The Department recommends that the Chair not assign extensive or burdensome service to pre-tenure junior faculty. However, service is an integral component of job performance. At minimum it includes normal performance of faculty responsibilities such as attendance at faculty meetings and candidate presentations. In addition, we assume that before tenure faculty will have served on departmental committees and perhaps university and/or college committees. Other service activities recognized by the Department include teaching and lectures in secondary schools and other civic and religious organizations. Service to the profession might involve membership on editorial boards, participation in committees, or leadership in professional organizations.
To qualify for promotion to Full Professor a candidate must demonstrate a continuing significant intellectual impact on in her or his field of scholarship, as determined by leading scholars in the field.
For promotion to Full Professor, a faculty member will normally be expected to have produced, beyond that which qualified him/her as an Associate Professor, a monograph or book length study based on original research published by a scholarly press. It is also expected that the candidate will have continued to publish original research in leading journals and/or book chapters in one's field. The quality of publications will be based on peer assessment within and outside the department. Normally a faculty member will have demonstrated an effort to seek grants and fellowships that further demonstrate an active scholarly agenda.
Additional supporting evidence of research productivity is required. Usually this should take the form of co-authored books, contributions to leading journals, book chapters, edited volumes, textbooks, encyclopedia, book reviews, encyclopedia and dictionary articles, conference papers, and internal grants. Publications through peer-reviewed, recognized electronic journals will ordinarily be considered equivalent to traditional modes of publishing. The quality of these contributions will be based on peer assessment.
In addition to satisfying the four aspects of teaching performance outlined for tenure and promotion to associate professor, the department expects faculty members seeking to become full professors, especially in the three areas of the graduate program, to have played an active role in its administration and particularly through chairing and serving on graduate thesis committees.
It is expected that all candidates for Full Professor will have demonstrated an active post-tenure contribution to the life of the Department through consistent and significant service to the Department, college, university, and profession over at least several years.
Promotion to Distinguished Professor
Full professors (with the exception of eminent scholars and graduate research professors) may be nominated by the Department Chair for promotion to the rank of Distinguished Professor in recognition of well-established national and/or international reputations in their fields of endeavor and exceptional records of achievement (beyond that expected of full professors) in the areas of teaching, research, and professional and public service.
Third Year Review
The intention of the midterm review process is to provide structured and constructive information to assist candidates to meet college and university requirements for tenure and promotion. The review is normally done in the third year. It should be designed to provide the faculty member with constructive comments to strengthen the eventual tenure packet and provide the faculty member with a true assessment of how her/his efforts are perceived by peers within her/his own discipline. It also will assist that faculty member, in that peers, other than her/his own chair, will provide an evaluation of the faculty member's efforts.
The fact that the review process takes place at the end of the third year of service should allow for proper review of the faculty members teaching, research and service efforts and will allow enough time for the faculty member to make any modifications necessary for the successful award of tenure in the future, if any deficiencies are noted in the review. Likewise, it could also be used to assist the faculty member in the choice as to when she/he would most likely be successful in applying for tenure.
The review should begin early in the third year of appointment. By February 1st of that year, the candidate will complete a dossier of materials and present it to the Chair of the Department. The dossier will include:
- A tenure and promotion packet abridged for this purpose (described below)
- A research/scholarship portfolio including all of the candidate's research publications, papers submitted for publication, grant proposals, and similar information
- Annual letters from the candidate's mentor
- Annual letters of evaluation from the chair
The dossier will be made available to the senior faculty. A committee of the Chair, mentor of the candidate, and one senior faculty member appointed by the Chair will review the dossier and assess the candidate's performance. The assessment will address the issues normally considered in tenure and promotion deliberations and will determine if the candidate is making satisfactory progress toward promotion and tenure. The committee will prepare a report fora meeting of tenured faculty in the Department which will discuss the candidate's progress toward tenure and promotion and advise the Department Chair on what might be included in his/her letter of review to the candidate. For example, Department faculty may consider:
- Is the candidate's teaching at or above department norms and expectations or making steady progress in that direction?
- Has the candidate presented papers in appropriate venues and are the number and quality of those papers acceptable?
- Has the candidate published at an acceptable rate and in appropriate journals?
- Is the candidate beginning to establish a regional and national reputation in her/his field?
- Is the candidate preparing her/himself to attract external funding to support her/his scholarly work?
- Has the candidate gained graduate status and served on master's and doctoral committees?
- Does the candidate's record suggest a teaching and research trajectory that is likely to lead to the rank of Associate (and later Full) Professor?
- Is the candidate appropriately involved in professional service activities at the local, state, national, or international level?
The Department Chair will draft a letter of review based on the candidate's dossier, the committee report as well as the discussion and other information from the Department faculty. The letter should consider the candidate's assignment and any support the Department may have provided the candidate. It should identify areas of strengths and weaknesses in the candidate's record and make clear recommendations, if any, on how the candidate may improve her/his dossier and performance. The goal is to give thoughtful and constructive assessments and suggestions that will help the candidate meet college and university requirements for tenure and promotion. The letter will be explicit in stating that the letter itself is not a decision for tenure and promotion but is rather a mid-course evaluation.
Before April 30th, the Department Chair will meet with the candidate to provide a copy and discuss the letter of review. The candidate and Department Chair should discuss strengths and weaknesses in the candidate's dossier; what the candidate might do, if anything, to strengthen her/his papers in the future; and what assistance might be available in the department, college, and/or university to address candidate needs and improve performance, if needed. In making these recommendations the Chair and tenured faculty members are not entering into a contractual relationship with the candidate such that if these recommendations are fulfilled the candidate is assured of tenure. Rather they are recognizing and acting upon their responsibility to support the candidate in her/his final years before tenure. A copy of the letter of review will be placed in the candidate's personnel file. The faculty member has the right to submit a written response to the report if so desired, and the response will be placed in the faculty member's personnel file for future reference. Neither of these letters will become part of the tenure and promotion packet.
The Department Chair's letter of review will be forwarded to the Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs by the end of the Spring semester.

Graduate Admission Procedures
The following describes the procedures that govern Graduate Admissions. These procedures are to guarantee a transparent process, let faculty know how to participate, and ensure procedural fairness to all applicants.
Bureaucratic procedures
- The Department Secretary will sort incoming applications into two file boxes (or two sections in one box). One section will have completed applications, the other incomplete ones. Once established, both will be available for faculty review. Faculty may communicate with promising candidates with incomplete files informing them that their file is not complete.
- Candidates whose own materials (statements and applications) are not postmarked by the closing date will not be considered for admission. Their submitted materials will be kept separately from the above-mentioned two boxes.
- Supporting materials (recommendation letters & transcripts) must be received no later than 10 business days after the application deadline. Candidates with incomplete files at this time will not be admitted. The secretary will attempt to contact applicants with incomplete files on 15 January or the first work day afterward. International candidates may have other procedures and timelines.
- The GAC will meet within three weeks after the application deadline.
The GAC & Decision Making
- The graduate admissions committee (GAC) shall prioritize candidates for admission and fellowship competitions, in close consultation with and taking seriously the views of all department faculty who chose to review and comment on the applicants. As much as possible decisions will be by consensus.
- If consensus cannot be reached, decisions will be reached by majority vote of the GAC, with any ties broken by the department chairperson. Faculty will be promptly informed of the admission decision. Under exceptional circumstances, faculty may request re-consideration of a decision to decline a prospect if they have met two conditions: 1. they have provided their views of the candidate prior to the GAC's deliberations; 2. they make this request within a week of the announced decisions. The GAC retains the right to decide whether it will act on the request.
- The GAC will normally be composed of at least one faculty member from each Ph.D. track. If the graduate coordinator is not involved in one of the tracks, she or he will be a fourth voting member. GAC members will be appointed by the Chair of the department after consulting with track faculty as to their views regarding who should serve.
- Because the priority for graduate education in the dept. of Religion is the Ph.D. Program, students applying for admission to the MA program will normally be interested in the Ph.D. concentrations and likely to be strong candidates for Ph.D. admission should they choose to pursue it. They will, then, normally have received a GRE score of 1100 or more (including a minimum 600 on the verbal portion) to gain admission to the program.
Internal Candidates
- Students preparing to finish their Master's degree must by 15 January formally make known their desire to be re-classified as Ph.D. students. They must also adhere to all the procedures and deadlines involved in such re-classification as specified by the graduate school. They will be evaluated for Ph.D. program admission on a competitive basis with all other applicants for the Ph.D. When applying for this change of status they must provide: (1) An updated statement of purpose and goals, plotting his or her doctoral program within the framework of one of the three fields and identifying primary faculty mentors; (2) Three letters of recommendation from university faculty (two from within the department); (3) Their MA thesis proposal; and (4) A Report on the status of their language preparation. NOTE: Students admitted to the doctoral program prior to completion of the M.A. will be admitted provisionally and their application reviewed following successful completion of the M.A. degree.
MA Candidates NOT in Three Main Fields of Study
- For admission such applicants need support from two faculty members who indicate a willingness to supervise their work, as well as from the majority of the GAC. This applies also to undergraduate students who request permission to do a joint BA/MA degree.
Early Admission & Requests to Take Graduate Courses
- Requests for full-status admission to the graduate program beginning in a Spring semester (of for Fall after the formal admissions process has transpired) will not normally be considered or granted. (The Graduate School does provide for such admissions, with a mid-October deadline for Spring semesters.) Students who the graduate coordinator and chair judge to be good and likely prospects for admission during the regular admission cycle in January may, however, be permitted to take courses during the academic year prior to the one for which they are applying for formal admission. In exceptional circumstances the Graduate Advisory Committee may be asked to convene to consider providing formal admission to the program apart from the normal January/February evaluation period.
Time is of the Essence
Timely decision-making, including the providing of financial offers to admitted students, is an important part of admissions process, and essential if we are to compete well for the best graduate students. It is important, for this reason, that we not make exceptions to the above-specified procedures and deadlines. It is even more important that we follow specified procedures and deadlines to ensure procedural fairness for all applicants.
The following time frame will be followed for the selection process
- January 15:
Deadline for receiving all materials from prospective candidates; international candidates will have a week or so more lee-time;
- February 10:
The GAC meets to evaluate candidates, having obtained the written opinions of faculty who wish to comment on any or all of the candidates; the Coordinator of the GAC will, as soon as possible, make public the list of selected candidates, allowing 5 days for faculty to appeal on any case as described in Item 6 supra.;
- February 15:
Letters of offer will be sent to selected candidates; faculty may at that time contact students with whom they will be establishing an advisory relation;
- April 15:
Final date for student response to offer in writing.
Revision Procedure
The above guidelines will continue to guide future admissions processes until the graduate coordinator, or any other faculty member, concludes that revisions are needed or worth considering. On such an occasion the graduate coordinator will consult with faculty as needed and prepare a draft of the revised guidelines accordingly. These guidelines, with the changes indicated, will then be distributed to faculty either by email, or by notifying them they are on the shared department "S" drive. Within two weeks, any such faculty member wishing to discuss and possibly further modify such guidelines can do so either by working with the graduate coordinator to refine them further, or can ask that the entire faculty discuss such changes at a faculty meeting. Otherwise, the revised guidelines will govern the admissions procedures going forward.
The intent of this document, and the revision procedure, is to keep the process transparent while at the same time allowing for the efficient revision of these guidelines as needed changes become apparent.

So, still prevaricating on finishing Igor and got distracted again. This time by the Guardians of the Galaxy kits.
Picked this one up off eBay for a decent price because the box had been damaged (like I care, it's already been thrown out). It is the 1:9 scale version from Dragon. There is a larger scale version of Rocket but this one has the full sized Groot and is in scale with the other Dragon kits.

According to Ain't It Cool News, Joel Silver will produce He-Man for Warner Bros., for whom he produced Lethal Weapon, The Matrix, The Reaping and now Speed Racer.
The site also adds that it has heard that Justin Marks will script He-Man. Marks is also penning Super Max, David Goyer's planned Green Arrow-goes to-prison movie.
The rumor mill recently suggested that Legendary Pictures, the production company behind 300, was producing He-Man but they advised IGN there was no truth to the rumor. The rumor also suggested that Brad Pitt might play He-Man.

This is the list I want to show, I have both in my favorites and put the worong one.
This is the list I want to show, I have both in my favorites and put the worong one.
It's an anthology and the Damian story is him teaming up with Grundy. Damian being a hero with some feels and a glimpse into Damian's softer side.
A lot of the one shots and stories with Damian outside of his regular title give us Damian well written and show how a majority of Dc writers get the character.
It's from 2 Halloween's ago
Was batman beyond good? Haven't read TT since the feedback is conflicting and I don't want to annoy myself.
Justice League Dark Apokolips War is no 6 on the US Top 20 most watched at home chart.
I have some issues with the movie but At least Damian was well done so I'm glad lots of people get to see it.

So apparently there are people out there in the world who don't eat lamb. I don't know how this is possible, frankly, though I will admit I'd never tasted lamb before I came to Idaho. Here, nearly everyone eats lamb — it's sheep country, and the entire state's history is based on sheep, Basque culture, and mining (but the mining only happened after the sheep).
Every spring and every fall, hundreds if not thousands of sheep herd past my house, heading to and from the national forest up north, where they are allowed to graze on federal land for a fee. Stella and I will just sit at the front door, watching herd after herd pass by, accompanied by Border Collies, Akbash and horse-riding shepherds.
How can you not feel good about eating an animal raised on green grass and sunshine, that was allowed to graze free for almost its entire life?

"Jules, a thirteen year old mage, and her twin brother take a test to get into a school for mages. But one of them fails. Lance, who is a runt dragon, failed his dragonhood test and is sent to a school for wizard familiars. While he's there, he becomes friends with Jules and Darius. Someone is pulling pranks on other students and Jules, Darius and Lance must stop the pranks before they get out of hand." —Sarah in Pottsboro, Texas .
"William Hill has once again created a brilliant work of art. He has created a magical place where all creatures great and small all learn together to become familiars. After failing her wizard's test, Jules is forced to go to the academy. Lance, a small runt dragon, has also traveled to the academy after failing his dragonhood test. There they not only find friends, magic, and mystery, but also a future that has been waiting for them . . .if they can survive the encounter." —Charley in Pottsboro, Texas.
"I really enjoyed the book. I think everyone should read the book Dragon Pawns because it teaches you not to give up but to keep on trying. It should be read by all. It also teaches you that friends are important even when you need help." —Michelle in Pottsboro, Texas.
"I absolutely loved your book! It was fun to read and kept you guessing. I'm even writing a review of it for a home school newsletter. When I got to the end I didn't want it to be over, I'm so glad it's part of a trilogy. I am planning to buy some of your other books because I loved this one so much." —Amelia in Orange Park, Florida.
"Dragon Pawns is a fun fantasy novel that kept me hooked from the beginning. I am normally not a fan of fantasy, but this book made me believe in make-believe. This is for anyone who wants to believe in the unbelieveable. The talking animals bring you into a world of magic that you only wish could really happen." Dana, 7th grade teacher.
Julietta Magnus is a young adult with a temper! Plus she's had a few bad days, well a lot. Her brother got her expelled from Solomus Mage School before she even got enrolled. So now she's stuck at a baby school for teaching birds and other flying things. That's not all that's on her mind, her father has been missing for weeks too! …This book is one of the best fantasy books I've ever read, and I have read a lot of them. This book is great for all ages so enjoy!!! – Taylor of Texas

The Scottish Government is now under a statutory obligation to prepare and publish a Trafficking and Exploitation Strategy for Scotland. This must be published by 31 May 2017. The three main themes of the strategy are:
- Identify victims and support them to safety and recovery
- Identify perpetrators and disrupt their activity
- Address the conditions that foster trafficking and exploitation
On 12 October 2016 the Cabinet Secretary for Justice launched a public consultation on the draft strategy. You can read the draft strategy and provide a response to this by following this link https://consult.scotland.gov.uk/human-trafficking-team/a-human-trafficking-and-exploitation-strategy/. The Scottish Government is keen to hear from as many people as it can. We hope to present a session on this topic in the foreseeable future.

The former mayor of Southwark has compared domestic violence with smacking — and refused to apologise after claiming that some see "benefits" in the crime.
Cllr Columba Blango, who is a colleague of Lib Dem deputy leader Simon Hughes and represents the ward neighbouring his house, has shocked colleagues with his views on the subject:
"It's like smacking. Some people see the benefits of smacking. Some don't see it."
In remarks recorded in official council minutes and later attributed to Blango, the councillor claimed "some perpetrators might not be able to prevent themselves" from slapping their partner in "the spur of the moment."
When a female councillor suggested he should apologise for comments made in the meeting of Southwark Council's Education, Children's Services and Leisure Committee, he dismissed her as being "emotional".
Fellow Southwark councillor and sometime occupant of the BBC Sunday Politics sofa Rowenna Davis — who was in the car-crash meeting — told Scrapbook that "there's no room for ambiguity when it comes to domestic violence":
"I have constituents who suffer from domestic violence. The vast majority of Lib Dems would be appalled by Cllr Blango's comments. But what does Simon Hughes think of his colleague and a supposed community leader propagating this kind of attitude?"
Perhaps the Lib Dem top brass should "encourage" Columba to apologise.

When my clients are happy so am I
Sometimes they send me nice emails and sometimes they post recommendations on my LinkedIn page. They usually make me blush but I'm never too shy to share what they have to say.
If you've got something to say about my services, abilities or my natural ability to touch the back of my neck with my bicep fill out this form.
Cory is a Wonderful Resource!
May 2015 - My husband is a lawyer and I'm a writer. We needed our websites transferred to another server, and we're so lucky Cory was recommended for the job. He was great! My website situation turned out to be more complicated than my husband's. I needed updating of Wordpress and other things fixed that were over my head. Cory was invariably skillful, knowledgeable, easy to talk to, responsive and quick. He was just what we needed and we'll continue to use his services as other issues and needs arise. We both recommend him highly!

September 15, 2013 - Cory is an excellent comprehensive resource for graphic design projects. He provides quality work on time and and within budget. Cory goes above and beyond to add value to every project and to make sure the end product meets or exceeds our expectations. He is easy to work with becuase of his effective, efficient and proactive communication style.

Shelton Dental Studio
August 30, 2013 - I hired Cory to help me establish a website for my new company that I started in January 2012. He was able to get me design ideas fast and established a theme quickly. I was slow in getting him all the information and photos but he stayed in contact and worked with me throughout the process. He was easily reached a year later when I needed to update the website and provided excellent support on how I could do this myself or with his help.
I would recommend Cory for any Website design services.

August 29, 2013 - Cory is a phenomenal designer; he's always on schedule, collaborates well, and knows his profession inside-out. His natural inclination for efficiency leads to incredible value - you won't find a more creative business partner to enhance your success. I'm celebrating my 10th year in business - 9+ with Cory - and consider Overdog Art a significant reason to anticipate at least another 10 years!
The Publishing Collaborative
People Serving People
September 5, 2012 - We love Cory and Overdog Art! Cory has guided People Serving People through an online technological overhaul - and we are so proud of our website (that he designed) and the various elements he has encouraged us to embrace. From video placement on our website, to 'reminders' about keeping our content up to date; Cory...has not only done the work (quickly) to keep our website in the front lines, he has been a source of information for new website elements we did not know about.
Cory's patience is a great asset, as we are not too embarrassed to ask 'silly' questions about online content, and he has never once made us feel that even the smallest website up date is not worth his time. The result: our shelter has a website that is operating in real-time, that our volunteers and supporters can depend on to keep them up to date with our ongoings, and our website can inspire others to want to join the effort to help homeless families! Thank you, Overdog Art!
KB Peru
April 27, 2012 - My name is Will Janecek and I am the owner of two small businesses that has hired OverDog Art for a substantial amount of print and logo design as well as numerous web development projects. In fact, we have worked with Cory and OverDog Art for over ten years, and OverDog Art played a major role in the development and growth of my two businesses.
OverDog Art was the primary art, copy and design contractor for Indoor Advertising, Inc. for nearly 11 years, as we grew from a six to seven figure revenue company. He was responsible for all design output, and along the way was forced to learn virtually our entire business model so as to be more effective. OverDog Art has thus been in the trenches of Response Marketing for small businesses for over a decade and probably understands marketing concepts better than, well, most marketing directors.
My second business is a hotel and adventure tour business in Peru, near Machu Picchu. OverDog Art has handled all web and print marketing for us since we opened in 2004. In that time we again have grown significantly and in this case most of the credit goes to OverDog Art, as 99% of our business comes through the web marketing channels that OverDog Art developed.
Suffice it to say I could not recommend Cory and OverDog Art more highly. If you require any more information, please contact me directly at my personal email.
KB Peru, Inca Downhill
Small Sums
May 5, 2011 - At Home Group uses Overdog Art for both of our websites. It is so refreshing to call a webmaster and have him answer the phone or call you back immediately. We make frequent changes to our websites and they are always up by the next day. Cory is fun to work with and always supportive. He has creative solutions to problems that have stumped us. You can't go wrong with Overdog Art!

Heidi DeCoux
November 24, 2010 - Cory is not only artistic, but he has a unique ability to figure out what your personal style is and how you want to represent yourself. He then creates your website, logo and marketing materials that really capture your essence and show your readers/viewers your personality. Cory is also great at creating marketing materials that are organized and easy to read. You'll love working with Cory.

The Publishing Collaborative
November 22, 2010 - Cory's intelligent, efficient and thoughtful approach to graphic design comes with a contagious business savvy that continuously exceeds all of my expectations. He has worked on a few websites and hundreds of printed publications for me in the past six years, and is consistent, thorough, and extremely high in quality without fail. He always delivers on his promises, which of course excludes him from entering into political life!
I'll never forget, very early on in our endeavors together, Cory's modem was destroyed by lightning during a deadline. Before the days of widespread WiFi, he still found a way to get our magazine done, and I've never doubted his ability to come through since.
Hire Overdog Art for all of your graphic design needs - you will thank me later!

Render Lifestyle Management
October 7, 2010 - Accessible, responsive, and immensely talented and creative, Cory was a gem to work with. Over other designers I interviewed, Cory saw the value in meeting face to face so he could get to know me, really understand my business, and share ideas. This led to a really collaborative working relationship, and he really "got" what my business is about. One friend even said to me, 'I didn't know somebody like you or I (i.e. not a big company) could just go out and get such a fantastic and professional website.'
I've received rave reviews on my site, from the colors and logo to the layout. The positive response to my website and business cards prove to me that I made the right choice in selecting Overdog Art for my project. Cory also gave me other great ideas and suggestions for tools to help my new company succeed. I highly recommend Cory to anybody seeking to design their website, business materials, etc. or seeking to revamp what they already have.
Marcie Wagner, CFRE
October 4, 2010 - Cory was extremely responsive and easy to work with during the redevelopment of the People Serving People's website. His attention to detail and ability to work within a budget is an essential aspect of working with a non-profit or small business. He took our suggestions for copy, graphics and site navigation and provided a superb end product which boosted our awareness for homelessness in Minneapolis, but also made it easier for the general public to make donations. Which we appreciated very much!
Thank you Cory for your good work and heart. Marcie L. Wagner

American Durable, Inc.
September 23, 2010 - Cory came in, consulted with our company, and started us on a path to reach our goals. He then accomplished something very unique; he exceeded our expectations and did it at a lower cost than what we expected and discussed. Very easy to work with, and has the knowledge and expertise to make the difficult easy to understand. Hard to find someone with great talent, and also the ability to keep within, and actually, under budget. A rare find.

Crowley, White and Helmer, Inc.
September 12, 2010 - As a consultant who works on fundraising efforts for many nonprofits in the Twin Cities, I am often called upon to help them identify a designer for their web site, printed materials, and other marketing/branding needs. Having had a great experience working with Cory and Overdog Art on a volunteer project several years ago, I am always happy to introduce Overdog to my clients.
Overdog Art can be counted on to provide high-quality work at an affordable price for my clients, which often have limited budgets for web/printing/marketing. If you or your organization value working with quality, community-minded companies, Overdog Art is the place to go for your graphic design needs. I look forward to working with Cory again in the future.

August 16, 2010 - Just a note to express thanks for the work you have done for us over the years on the IVY project. The marketing and communications needs for this project have been both countless and varied. Your understanding of the specific project objectives has been key to your ability to deliver the desired outcome.
Using paper, web, print, video photography and the host of evolving mediums has allowed us to maintain important brand standards while building a knowledge bank with you that we can draw on with each successive project. The fact that the Account Executive (you) is the same guy as the task master (also you) makes the process efficient and cost effective. Keep up the good work.

The grass pictured above is seed that I put down Sunday, July 1st. We saw growth in just 4 days, folks. Now that's fast. This is day 5, and it's over an inch long. I know you're all just dying to know my secret, right? Well just pretend you are, because I'm going to tell you anyway.
We had a torrential rainfall on Tuesday night that washed much of the Miracle-Grow and seed both in a pile at the end of the area that I seeded. I gently raked it, spreading it back to its original spot, and added more soil and a little more seed, then drenched it all again. It's all filling in and I'm excited to see so many bare patches filling in with bright green grass!
And there you have it. Now go, sow some grass. Your bare summer feet will be very happy, because baby grass is very soft, and it tickles.
UPDATE April 19, 2009
I'd like to show you before and after photos of this area of our yard.
Note: We added a privacy fence, and neighbor cut down all of their trees,
added a room and a door on the side of the garage.
Taken on overcast day.
The first photo was taken in 2004, just after we'd had a room addition put on the house and were left with a huge mound of dirt. We left the mound for several years and planted on it, using it as part of the landscape. In July 2007, we transplanted everything and leveled the mound, and started growing grass. The summer of 2008 it was patchy and young, still filling in. Now, April 2009, you can see it's thick and lush and very, very green.
Stop back and let me know how well this works for you – and share your before & after photos!
While you're here, grab one of my amazing photos for your desktop, or visit my shop!

Your upgrades and gear ship safely with OWC. Learn more. »
Your upgrades and gear ship safely with OWC.Learn more. »
I could not be happier and thrilled with such an upgrade. 1. The process of purchasing the item is so easy with the OWC guide 2. Item arrived in lightening speed 3. Their video tutorial on how to install is right to the point, and I had purchased the tools from OWC which were exactly what i needed! 4. Replaced the drive in exactly 12 minutes 5. In 5 minutes I was connected to internet restart 6. took 45 minutes to restore from time machine..
Way faster!, finally more space, and truly an excellent product!!!!!!
I have my extra space, but the biggest difference is the speed of the new OWC drive. I did not expect to see a big difference in speed, but it runs like a new computer, no kidding! Even running resource hogs like Lightbook CC are now much faster.
Bottom line, occasionally something that seems too good to be true really is. The replacement could not have been any easier. The instructions were complete and accurate. The enclosure for the old drive works beautifully, feels solid, and looks good.
This purchase far exceeded my expectations.
I recommend building a bootable Install disk on an SD card prior to swapping the drives. Install the new SSD and put the old one in the external housing. Boot to the install disk, and then use 'Restore' to clone your old SSD to the new internal drive.
This kit came with all the tools needed to do this upgrade seamlessly, and the Apple online restoration process enabled me to get a new and clean software build in a matter of hours. I love having the old hard drive as an external replacement, as I was able to get the handful of things that did not transfer to iCloud.
Highly recommended upgrade, and kudos to OWC for putting together such a great package. This upgrade would've been over a $1000 option with Apple.

The second degree of humility
30 Jan. 31 May. 30 Sept.
The second degree of humility is, that a man love not his own will, nor delight in fulfilling his own desires; but carry out in his deeds that saying of the Lord: "I came not to do mine own will, but the will of Him Who sent me." And again Scripture saith: "Self-will hath punishment, but necessity wins the crown."
The Second Degree of Humility enshrines this utterance of Our Lord: "I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me" (John 6:38). The insertion here of the very words of Jesus given us by Saint John suggests that the Twelve Degrees of Humility are to be read, and understood, and lived in the light of the Fourth Gospel, which presents the whole life of Jesus, from the Incarnation to the Ascension, as the Son's passage, through obedience, from this world to the Father.
And whereas indeed he was the Son of God, he learned obedience by the things which he suffered: And being consummated, he became, to all that obey him, the cause of eternal salvation. (Hebrews 5:8–9)
In some way, the Holy Rule is the monk's companion volume to the Fourth Gospel, for Christ — and specifically the Son eternally turned towards the Father, as depicted by Saint John — is, as Blessed Abbot Marmion taught, the Ideal of the Monk. I have not always liked the use of the term Ideal. The popular understanding of the word, as it has evolved, even in the field of pastoral theology, tends to suggest that an ideal is a standard of perfection that is unattainable but worthy nonetheless of being kept in view. There is much talk of this at present, and most of it tends to disparage the possibility of attaining the moral ideal and argues in favour of lowering the standard to accommodate the comfort level of the majority.
All of this falls into the pitfall of a disheartening moralisation because it makes abstraction of grace. It is by grace that the humble reality of each man can be raised to the ideal that shines on the face of Christ, and it is by grace that "the light of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Christ Jesus" (2 Corinthians 4:6) penetrates man and transforms him. Omnia possum in eo qui me confortat. "I can do all things in him who strengtheneth me" (Philippians 4:13).
Were Our Lord Jesus Christ no more than a model of excellence, an exemplar of perfection, He would be an ideal according to the meaning widely ascribed to the word today, but the truth of the matter is that He is God from God, Light from Light, Very God from Very God, making possible by His grace all that He commands, and raising by His grace those who, while they fall again and again, and experience their weakness in every possible way, trust nonetheless in His power to configure them to Himself and to bring them, through Himself, to union with the Father. "All that the Father giveth to me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will not cast out" (John 6:37).
Grace does not eliminate the struggle, but it renders the struggle meritorious. There is grace at work in the man who falls and rises, falls and rises, falls and rises. There is grace at work in the man who stumbles at every turn and who, in spite of the world that cries, "Impossible!", rests his hope in God and never despairs of God's mercy (Chapter IV: 41 and 72).
The Second Degree of Humility —that a man love not his own will, nor delight in fulfilling his own desires — sends us to the discourse on the Bread of Life in which Our Lord says:
I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me. Now this is the will of the Father who sent me: that of all that he hath given me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again in the last day. And this is the will of my Father that sent me: that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth in him, may have life everlasting, and I will raise him up in the last day. (John 6:37–40)

DC Comics writer and Chief Creative Office Geoff Johns announced today at New York Comic-Con [via thegreenlanterncorps.com] that the first trailer for Green Lantern will be attached to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1. Interestingly, Green Lantern is in 3D and would likely have a 3D trailer were it attached to a 3D movie. However, as we just reported, Warner Bros. has decided to release Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I in 2D only. I'm curious to see if Warner Bros. might not wait a month and release their Green Lantern trailer with their only remaining 3D film this year, Yogi Bear.
For the film's official synopsis, hit the jump. Green Lantern stars Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, and Mark Strong. It's set to open June 17, 2011. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 opens November 19th.
Here's the official synopsis for Green Lantern:
In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.
Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax…he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.

I first went to Star BBQ as a Japanese final exam celebration (as in, after we took the test) with a group such as one often sees around Irvine and Garden Grove—white people (including me), a couple Taiwanese people, Japanese, Korean, African-American, Indian—and we weren't even the most diverse group eating there. We had decided to go here on the recommendation of one of the Korean guys, who also seemed to know someone who worked there.
Jump forward a year or a year and a half and now I'm with another group of friends looking for a good place to have a KBBQ reunion dinner. I suggested this place and related the story from above, and they all agreed.
We were there to celebrate, so we sprung for the $19.99/person menu. This was the first wave:
The menu is far too large for 4 people to try everything in one visit, but we certainly ate our share that night—beef belly, abomasum (4th stomach of a cow), spicy chicken, black pork belly, more bulgogi, a couple of other meats, and two very nice beef tenderloins to finish.
Several bottles of Kooksoondang Draft Makkoli, a rice wine, were also consumed. Makkoli was originally made by and for farmers, but it's been in fashion with Korean 20-somethings/cocktalians/students for some time now. This brand is unique because it comes out of the bottle carbonated—it's made to replicate Makkoli as it's served on tap in Korea—though it has a shelf life of just 2-3 months.
Before we had even finished eating, we all agreed that this was the best KBBQ we've ever had. We ended up leaving a note for our exceptional waitress, but of course we didn't leave without partaking of the free frozen yogurt, available in two flavors. I think they change, but that night the two options were "pineapple" and "tart."

Dr. Jarl C. Nielsen founded Nevada Retina Associates in 1994. Joined by Dr. Friedlander in 1998, Nevada Retina has grown to be one of the leading treatment centers specializing in medical and surgical management of vitreoretinal and macular diseases. We opened our Carson City office in 2007 in an effort to better serve our ever-growing community.
Dr. Nielsen and Dr. Friedlander are both Board-certified Ophthalmologists and Fellowship-trained Retina Specialists. They have offered 24/7 Emergency services to the community continuously for 19 years and continue to be available for vitreoretinal emergencies at any time.
Part of our ongoing effort to provide a higher
level of service to area eye care physicians is our triage system. This system provides a dedicated technician to schedule all patients from our referring partners. For the referring doctor's office this means immediate help, without having to wait for a return phone call. Our goal is to have our triage specialist take the patient's information, have them scheduled, and your office off the phone in less than 5 minutes. Doctors who refer patients to us know that if their patient has a problem, they can count on us to be there for them.
The mission of Nevada Retina Associates' doctors and staff is to provide state-of-the-art treatment, unequaled service, and compassionate, outstanding care for our patients.

Ransomware attacks and the social responsibility to build resilient systems
15 May 2017
The heavier you lean on something, the more that thing should be designed to easily bear the weight.
It's a rather basic engineering principle. But it's not currently the one that most software companies have been undertaking in relation to their products.
Instead the emphasis has been all about speed. Make it quick. Ship it. Fix and improve it. It's a model that has been well-suited to rapid innovation, start-ups and upstarts. But it is a disastrous model from the point of view of security.
That matters less if it's a nice-to-have service, although it still matters. But if the software you produce is something that people begin to rely upon to get essential services, then a key corporate responsibility is to ensure that it is resilient in the face of attack.
The context for all of this, of course, is the malware attacks of the last few days, which have seen the UK's National Health Service computers infected with ransomware that has rendered them unusable and thrown the delivery of health services into chaos.
You may ask just what on earth was the Health Service doing placing its essential processes in the hands of obsolete Windows XP systems, of course. It's a valid question. But the answer isn't always that IT departments are lazy and stupid or that managers have been too stingy (although sometimes that is the case). People follow incentives, and when you get badly designed systems, they often encourage perverse incentives.
So if your company has a history of producing "upgrades" that are popularly held to make systems worse not better, then guess what? People become very reluctant to upgrade until they know that it's safe to do so, and may simply resist the process altogether. If you improve the security in the latest version of your operating system, but add in a bunch of changes that customers actually don't like, you can't blame the customers if they don't simply follow like sheep to use the software that you think they should.
It's a question of system design. If you require customers en masse to proactively do the right thing, you've designed a system with guaranteed failure built in. You can then blame the customers if you wish. But ultimately, you designed a system that depended on people being the way you want them to be, not the way that they are.
Apple has given at least one example of how you can get this right. Its IOS operating system used on iPads and iPhones is an illustration of how you can design a platform to be secure from the ground up. Apps are not allowed in unless they go through Apple's app store, and code is reviewed and checked by Apple. And generally apps are restricted in terms of what they can do outside of their own 'sandbox' making malicious code very difficult to introduce.
Apple developers have often moaned about those restrictions. But whilst we do know that it's impossible to build a 100% secure system, the restrictions make the robustness of the platform much greater. So really it comes down to a series of choices by the technology company.
Let's be clear. If a tech company designs a system which is intended to be relied upon by people, the failure of which will create significant real-time disruption, that company has a social responsibility to create a resilient system. That responsibility starts with the platform. It's hard for an individual app designer to counter security flaws in the Windows system that may enable an attacker to render the computer and its data useless. But within the bounds of the design choices it can make, security needs to be a much higher profile item.
In a recent video, I talked about the implications of growing levels of automation - the technical revolution that is likely to put between one third and one half of people out of their old jobs as those functions get taken over by AI.
Just think about how much more vulnerable a company makes itself by following that technological trend without sufficient care as to the robustness of the platform on which it builds its systems.
The fact the exploit for the recent attack was stolen from the US government's NSA highlights the fact that governments can't be relied upon as honest partners in this endeavour. Even if the US government decided it had learnt its lesson (and who's betting on that outcome?) others will always follow their own perceived incentive to come up with ways of subverting the security of IT systems to be able to advance their own security interests or, in some cases, repressive agendas. Whilst the most effective approach to dealing with such issues is the major companies working in partnership with governments and other agencies, the companies still have to step up to take principal responsibility.
It does, however, underline Apple's case against the FBI from last year. Apple's contention that it shouldn't build in back-doors into its software on the grounds that what could be used by the FBI would eventually be used by criminals - that point has been rather dramatically illustrated via the ransomware screens popping up on computer terminals in the last few days.
The difficult question is this - how do we hold software companies accountable for what they do in this area? When you have to be a highly sophisticated expert to tell the difference, any company can claim in its marketing materials how secure its systems are. False claims only get exposed when it's too late.
How should security and resiliency be brought into the scrutiny brought to bear on tech companies by CSR and SRI analysts? It is long overdue that it became part of the overall equation when it comes to corporate social responsibility.
