Re: The People
When we first began this blog, we stated the following as our aim:
This is a blog dedicated to the critique of the most important category of democratic thought: The People.
Several years have passed since then. During that time we have grown, and our understanding of forces determining the abstraction know as The People has been clarified in our minds.
It is high time for this abstraction, The People, which has never for even one instant actually embodied real living people, to meets its demise along with the social forces to give it life. Mankind has passed the point where an abstraction can stand in place of the real living individuals it purports to represent.
Let's have an end to it and all abstractions.

Clever Monkey versus the Accelerationists (2)
Part Two: (Nick) Land, Capital and Labor (Theory)
Clever Monkey's argument against the accelerationists seems to rest on a precise formulaic incantation repeated over and over: the only accelerationism possible is Nick Land's accelerationism. Thus accelerationism itself is merely a virulent subform of neoliberalist ideology that advocates commodification of all human relations. Which is to say all talk of accelerationism must lead us to embrace anarcho-capitalism, the Thought of Murray Rothbard, and the good folks at the Mises Institute.
Clever Monkey versus the Accelerationists (1)
Part One: The Grammar of Left Fascism
Twice in the past couple of weeks I Have been accused of being infected with an ideology known as accelerationism. To be honest, I had no idea what accelerationism was and never heard of it until the accusation was made. Nevertheless, I do accept the argument that ignorance of an ideology is no proof of innocence — at least insofar as people will make the accusation based on their criteria, not mine.
It turns out accelerationism is the idea that capitalist development can be sped up and the entire epoch brought to a close more rapidly than it would otherwise by pursuing measures designed to the end. Intrigued by this idea, I spent a few days trying to understand the concept, poring over the criticisms of those who oppose it, and thinking about the relation of this ideology to anything remotely suggested by labor theory.
What follows is my first take on the notion of accelerationism through the argument of one of its fiercest critics, Benjamin Noys, an editor at the venal academic paywall, Historical Materialism.
Keynesian Checkers versus Monetarist Three Dimensional Chess
You can almost smell the frustration pouring off Paul Krugman these days, as he once again proclaims the latest in a series of victories of Keynesian economic theory over its monetarists opponents.
Says Krugman:
"Sorry, guys, but as a practical matter the Fed – while it should be doing more – can't make up for contractionary fiscal policy in the face of a depressed economy."
Krugman's argument, which is a continuation and expansion on a more extensive argument by Mike Konczal can be simplified: Keynesian policies are better at generating an overworked working class than monetarist policies.
Reinhart-Rogoff and Austerity: The math is not the problem
After reading and commenting on David Graeber's post at the Guardian, I feel it necessary to comment more broadly on the problem the euro-zone faces in the crisis, as well as the problem posed by the austerity regime being pursued by the member nation of the European Union. My point is to show that the errors of the bourgeois economists Reinhart and Rogoff are not, as is commonly believed, a simple math or spreadsheet error. Behind these errors is concealed the fact that the euro-zone itself is founded on a fundamental structural flaw resulting from the monetarist economic theory on which it is constructed. This flaw was nothing more than an attempt to obstruct the working class majorities of the member nations from democratic control over their economies — a flaw that is now haunting the euro-zone and will likely cause its collapse.
A Few Words on David Graeber's Guardian Article
David Graeber's article in the Guardian, There's no need for all this economic sadomasochism, is very disturbing because in it he adopts the argument of the MMT fascists. I want to state this clearly, although I am generally supportive of his activist work with Occupy, I think he is way off on this idea.
First he starts out by making the patently absurd argument that the euro-crisis is about morality, not profit:
"After all, as I and many others have long argued, austerity was never really an economic policy: ultimately, it was always about morality. We are talking about a politics of crime and punishment, sin and atonement."
This, he knows, is not an accurate portrayal of austerity, but simply one that dovetails with his notions on debt in general. The aim of austerity has no more to do with morality than a tax on cigarettes has to do with discouraging smoking. The aim, in both cases, is to maximize fascist state control of economic life and maximization of profit through this control.
He then accuses Dutch and German voters of "fiscal sadism" because they don't want their wages to bail out the holders of fascist state debts in Greece and Spain. What sort of nonsense is this? They should simply lie down and allow the banks to rummage in their wallets? The resistance to bailing out the Greece fascist state has less to do with "fiscal sadism" than a desire not to bail out German banks. I think, it is important we do not lump German voters in with German banksters in this crisis. While it is true, "Politicians locate economic theories that provide flashy equations to justify the politics", this has nothing at all to do with the resistance of overwhelmingly working class voters to having their pocket picked by these politicians.
This conflation is bad enough, but then Graeber goes in to embrace the theoretical arguments of the fascistic Modern Money Theory (MMT) school. MMT is a 'theory' on the workings of so-called modern money, i.e., fascist state issued valueless counterfeit currency that began in use following the Great Depression. This counterfeited currency is employed by the state to manage economic activity within capitalist economies. It is the instrument by which the fascist state functions as national capitalist managing the national capital as direct exploiter of labor. It is impossible to employ this 'theory' in the interests of the vast majority of the society, who are being directly exploited by the state through the use of this currency.
Moreover, if MMT is correct, the problem faced in the euro-crisis exactly opposite of what it appears: there is not too much state debt, but too little. In modern money theory without sufficient debt, the excess capital sloshing around the system has no place to be profitably invested. To find a place for this fictitious capital, MMT argues, the fascist state must create an ever increasing quantity of debt instruments.
Which is to say, for German mercantilist policies to produce ever increasing quantities of excess capital, Greece must, at the same time, issue ever increasing quantities of bonds to absorb the German surpluses. Side by side with the German workers compelled to work long hours to produce otherwise unsellable exports, we get Greece workers working long hours to pay otherwise unrepayable public debts.
What sort of bullshit is this to adopt into Graeber's anti-statist message?
The MMT argument is not particularly disturbing in itself. It merely carries the bourgeois economist's argument to its absurd limits. What is disturbing, however, is the idea this "theory" is gaining any traction among antistatists. It is a completely fascistic theory that deserves only to be opposed wherever it rears its head.
Anti-statists have their own solution: wipe out all debts without exception and reduce hours of labor for the mass of society.
Anti-statists should not be trying to figure out how the states of Europe can carry even bigger loads of debt. Fuck the banksters — they can all go to hell and take their fascist mini-states with them.
My May Day Post: How Kautsky and Lenin Fundamentally Revised Marx
Part One: "… the consciousness of the necessity of a fundamental revolution"
In the Communist Manifesto, Marx writes:
"Does it require deep intuition to comprehend that man's ideas, views, and conception, in one word, man's consciousness, changes with every change in the conditions of his material existence, in his social relations and in his social life?"
In this statement Marx is arguing changes in material existence and social relations must produce changes in consciousness.
Based on his argument, we can assume when, in the German Ideology, he and Engels wrote capitalism gives rise to,
"a class which forms the majority of all members of society, and from which emanates the consciousness of the necessity of a fundamental revolution, the communist consciousness",
they were making the argument capitalism gives rise to changes in material existence, social relations and social life that produces a communist consciousness.
I ask this, because I certainly don't want to be accused of "stringing quotes together". I want to be sure these two concepts — one from the Communist Manifesto, the other From the German Ideology — actually are related. I want to be sure the two arguments form a discrete, coherent and continuous line of reasoning going through their life's work. This is so when I ask dumb fucking vanguardist groupuscules (like, e.g., the SWP (UK)) why they exist, I am on solid ground. But. more important, I want to make sure I am on solid ground when I begin looking at the arguments of both Kautsky and Lenin on the issue of working class consciousness. I don't want any silly mindless vanguardists to say I am taking Engels or Marx out of context when I rip Kautsky and Lenin new assholes.

Bioversel Trading hired CN Rail to import tanker loads of biodiesel to the U.S. to generate RINs, which are valuable in the U.S. because of a "greening" policy regulating the petroleum industry. The EPA's "Renewable Fuel Standard" mandate that oil companies bring a certain amount of renewable fuel to market, quotas they can achieve through blending biofuel with fossil fuel or by purchasing RINs as offsets.
Because RINs can be generated through import, the 12 trainloads that crossed into Michigan would have contained enough biodiesel to create close to 12 million RINs. In the summer of 2010, biodiesel RINs were selling for 50 cents each, but the price soon fluctuated to more than $1 per credit.
Once "imported" to a company capable of generating RINs, ownership of the biodiesel was transferred to Bioversel's American partner company, Verdeo, and then exported back to Canada.

Fort Myers Beach
(Fort Myers Beach, FL)
Welcome to Freedom Boat Club of Ft. Myers Beach:
Balmy, secluded and clear.
Members at this club relish in the peaceful seclusion of nearby beaches and islands. Whether it is the serenity of Picnic Island (accessible under the Sanibel Causeway via Marker 101); the warm gulf waters and ideal shell-hunting of Lovers Key Beach (just south of Salty Sam's); or the clear waters and playful dolphins of Hickory Island (south through Estero Bay toward New Pass), you won't be disappointed.
A special attraction of neighboring Sanibel Island is one of the only working lighthouses on Florida's west coast, which still provides a clear beacon for many nighttime boaters. And you mustn't miss Grandma Dot's restaurant, just before the Sanibel Causeway Bridge.
Florida Boating Requirements
Effective October 1, 2001, a person 21 years of age or younger may not operate a vessel powered by a motor of 10 horsepower or greater unless such person has in his or her possession aboard the vessel photographic identification and a boater safety identification.

The Lafayette City Council on Tuesday night, Oct. 2, approved an amendment to an intergovernmental agreement that will allow the city to locate a collection of athletic fields adjacent to the four softball fields Louisville now operates on Harney Lastoka Open Space.
The 1993 agreement among Lafayette, Louisville and Boulder County stipulated that Louisville and Lafayette would each get 24 acres on the 111-acre parcel to develop ballfields. Louisville built its sports complex in the mid-1990s, while Lafayette has yet to establish its own athletic facility on the property southeast of Colo. 42 and South Boulder Road.
Lafayette hasn't identified funding nor has it set a time table for when it might build its sports complex, which would likely complement Louisville's facility with several soccer fields and a youth football field.
Plans call for the cities to coordinate sports programming across both facilities in a municipal partnership unique to Boulder County. The goal is to reduce redundancies in city services and save money by collaborating on parking, concessions and maintenance at the joint site.

Justin's HIV Journal: Love in the time of HIV
People who are HIV positive ask me all the time, "How do I get involved in the fight against HIV?" When I ask them, "Are you open about your HIV status?" they usually answer no--and that is fine.
But since getting diagnosed as HIV positive in 2006, I have made it a priority to be open about my status. When I made this decision, I knew that it was right for me, but I didn't know just how right it would be. Here are four ways that openly acknowledging that I have HIV has worked in my favor:
My Family and I Have Grown Closer
Telling family that you have HIV is never easy, and telling mine was no exception: I grew up in a very religious household--my father was a deacon. In fact, I didn't even get a chance to tell my family myself; an extended-family member told my mother without asking me. My brother then called me, crying and asking if I had AIDS. Since I didn't, I answered, "No." But when he asked if I had HIV, I was honest and said, "Yes." He cried even more, but I told him, "Don't cry for me; be strong with me," and he has been.
Since the word had gotten out, I needed to tell my dad. It was too hard to face him, so I picked up the phone and called. My father had already accepted the fact that I am gay, but now he accepted my diagnosis and told me that he wanted me to take care good of myself and not to hesitate to call him if I needed anything.
Since then, both my mother and my father have been in my corner. They have been the most powerful people in my life, and I am grateful for their supportive presence. My brothers, aunt, uncles and cousins all know of my status and love me regardless. One cousin actually came with me to a speaking engagement, where he videotaped me speaking about HIV to college students.
I Take Better Care of Myself
I started Justin's HIV Journal because I was tired of seeing my friends die off one by one: I wanted to do something to fight HIV/AIDS. But I did not expect my website to take off the way it has. It has benefited other people greatly and at the same time benefited me.
Preparing my blog and video-blog postings has helped me learn more about HIV. What I've learned has caused me to improve my lifestyle choices and try to lead a healthier life; for example, I eat better than before. Being public has also lessened my stress level, since I'm not under pressure to keep any secrets.
I Am Able to Concentrate on What Is Important in Life
Right after I decided to be open about my status, I met Dr. Philip B. Terry at a bar. I was very up-front with him because I didn't want to play any games; I wanted everything to be out in the open. He gave me his number, I called him and we fell in love. Today he is Dr. Philip Terry-Smith, my husband.
Don't get me wrong; I had been rejected before. But as the saying goes, you have to kiss a couple of frogs to get to your prince. My husband says that one of the reasons he fell for me was my honesty.
I Have the Chance to Help Others
My being public has made my friends and family more aware of HIV. But probably the most important benefit has been the opportunity to give back, whether it be to Black people, the LGBT community or whomever. For example, I spoke at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., on World AIDS Day.
I've been able to educate many people who have recently become HIV positive. The fact that I am open helps them feel more comfortable with themselves and better able to come out of the "HIV closet." I am also able to attract attention to many issues that people with HIV have to deal with--issues like discrimination, stigma, harassment and low self-esteem.
I'm not saying that you should shout your HIV status from the rooftop, even though that is something I have decided to do to benefit everyone infected or affected by HIV. But living offers anyone with HIV the opportunity to become a leader in his or her own right. And living by example can help you guide people into fighting the good fight against HIV.

Check out this totally insane concept art for Creature, a new indie horror movie coming to U.S. theaters today. Creature is about a monster called Lockjaw — and the reason for the name should be pretty obvious.
The movie's tagline is: "Terror has teeth." Which is kind of an understatement.
Seriously, how many rows of teeth does this thing have? And how much flossing is required to keep them tartar-free? They should just call him the Liefeld Monster. All tooth-related kidding aside, though, this does look pretty sweet. In an exclusive interview (plus more concept art), Fangoria talks to the director, who explains that Creature is about the monster chasing some kids around a swamp — but the monster has a personality and intelligence, and isn't just a mindless killing machine.
Here's the movie's trailer:

You Might Be a Redneck
In the last year, Comedy Central has taken to airing "Blue Collar" programming much of the week. And let me say it's about time. Hoowee, I can't get enough hick jokes.
The Blue Collar Comedy tour really spoke to me as an American. I've been telling my hunting buddies for years that we have free speech in this country so they should shut up about it. Or maybe David Cross said that. I saw this one thing he did where he started his routine in a barely understandable drawl and talked about how he loved guns. Then he started talking all educated, and I shut it off.
As an American, it's my right to fear and attack people different than me, and it's about time someone in a flannel shirt with no sleeves said so. Git-R-Done! I don't know exactly what that means, but other people are yelling it, so I will, too!
I'm glad, as an average American, I don't live in a major city. Even though the 2000 census said that more than three quarters of Americans live in urban areas, I don't believe that because the census was done by the government, and the government is out to get you. Unless it's run by a good ol boy like me. George Bush is a good ol boy, right? That stuff about him growing up rich and going to some fancy college is just propaganda from the left-wing media.
That damned left-wing media controls everything. If it weren't for Fox News and MSNBC, sometimes CNN, and the WWE, us real Americans would have nothing to watch. Thank the lord that Comedy Central has finally given us weekend blocks of the programming that we, as typical Americans, must want.
Even though I am afraid of technology and change and original thought, I am happy that cable allows me to watch these things from my town. I don't want to have to move to some Yankee city like Atlanta or Nashville. I am proud to be where I am - sucking down six packs, ignoring my wife, and subsisting on a diet of gravy and ranch dressing that will make sure I don't see my son grow up to be as ignorant as I am. Not that even I'd realize the irony. Git-R-Done!
I am glad that I don't know that Larry the Cable Guy's real name is Dan Whitney, and that he's from the Midwest, and not the South. He says he picked up his accent when he moved to Florida, though I'm glad I've never heard him talk off camera because then I'd know it wasn't really his accent. I am especially glad not to know that Dan's first bunch of characters also included a gay man and an old Jewish lady, but Larry was the one typical Americans like me responded to.
There is one thing that annoys me about that tour. Ron White, the gentleman in the suit with the whiskey and the cigar (pronounced CEE-gar) keeps saying smart things with clever punch lines that I haven't heard other people say. It's almost like they put him on that tour just so the smarter people in the room wouldn't get bored when Larry told jokes making fun of black people. I like it better when the other fellers tell jokes I've known since before they started doing comedy. Those jokes are familiar. Like my life, since I never challenge myself. That's the fun part about being a typical American - my laziness is celebrated now!
I also like Bill Engvall. I just can't get enough jokes about how men do dumb things and wives are demanding. But my favorite one is Larry. He tells the truth, and speaks his mind. Even though he speaks it in a voice that's not his own, and he told Newsweek that the majority of his material is fabricated. But a guy like me would never read Newsweek, and if someone showed me a copy, I'd say it was lies and blame it on the liberal media. Git-R-Done!
I'm okay with the network's assertion that anyone who grew up in a rural area or has a job that involves manual labor is a moron. After all, I'm too stupid to understand the inadvertent social commentary behind those jokes. And I'm not just okay with it, I think it's hi-larious! And though the phrase Blue Collar should insult me coming from people with private jets and mansions, I don't think that far ahead. If I did, I could see those punch lines coming, too.
So bring it on, Comedy Central! Us typical Americans want to see more marathons of Blue Collar Comedy! And while you're at it, can you get rid of that Jon Stewart guy? Anyone in a suit scares me.

dgold2 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 94 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
Mr. G's
Overview: If you can draw with a pencil, you will be better suited for this challenge. Mr G's is a "Chicago style" hamburger and hot dog restaurant. It is a casual establishment located in an upscale urban neighborhood. We are leaning towards a retro (think 70's) theme, something that is energetic, eye catching and that will help us stand out in a competitive market. The restaurant sets itself apart from the average "Chicago Style hot dog joint" by offering healthier alternatives and unique options alongside the standard fare. The interior will be bright colorful and fun.
The name Mr' G's comes from the owner's father. We are looking for an illustration/ caricature of Mr. G (please see the attached photos of Mr. G) as the main focus of our logo. The illustration should be strong but minimalistic. (Think Chicago Cub's announcer Harry Caray's restaurant logo) Please include the name Mr. G's in the logo.
Target Audience: Corporate Exec. to soccer Mom, Skater dude to Sunday school teacher, gallery goers to construction worker. Also lots of college students in the area. We will be offering comfortable seating and carry out menu, wi-fi and retro pinball/video games, sports on TV
Although we are looking for something eye catching, it must be relatable to everyone. Nothing too "out there" please! LESS IS MORE.
The face of Mr. G should be minimalistic, glasses and goatee are the most important features. Also no eyes visible behind the glasses. One color line art for the face please, nothing too intricate.
The logo will be on the outdoor sign, printed on the awnings, menus and business cards, so it will need to be legible in various sizes.
Please do not use clip art or logo templates we are unique and so our logo should be. Spot color is preferred, (colors we like are?) Orange, turquoise, browns, yellows, reds
We will need this logo presented to us in a format that can be altered easily to fit all of our printing needs present and future.

Isolated Details
There's a maxim about lighting and detail that I've heard from a number of illustrators, making its source difficult to pin down. It suggests that detail in a painting should be limited to one of two regions: light or dark. Velazquez is the first painter that comes to my mind when I think of this principle. His shadows recede into the background, existing only to give light some competition. Of particular interest in the above painting, The Forge of Vulcan, are the shaded areas on the figures. Where light interacts with the figures, form is illuminated. Where light does not, form (or detail) is lost.
On the other hand, Alex Ross is a great example of a painter who likes to keep us in the dark, so to speak. He often places his figures in blinding light that prevents us from peering into anything but shadow. The effect is dramatic. However, I believe it's also one of the reasons he's sometimes criticized for being too photographic. That blown-out effect is a phenomenon that is (I think) subconsciously associated with photography. I'm quite certain that Velazquez never saw anything that looked like an overexposed photo.
Finally, here is an example of my own work for which this principle applies (Mythos: X-Men page 3, panel 1). The effect is always most pronounced in spotlit situations, such as this. With no incident light to reveal form, objects in shadow are only seen when light from behind traces their silhouette.

I'm trying to understand this better. So, for example, in your painting, the man's sweater is simplified with almost no detail at all, only broken color and a slight suggestion of form. His pants, in direct light, shows more texture and detail, creating juxtaposition and variety. Same with Magneto and his cape, right? If you were to put the same amount of detail in both the shadows and lighted areas, the piece would go flat, having no depth?ReplyDelete
Yes, I should have opened with a disclaimer. First of all, this is not a hard and fast rule; it's more of a guideline to keep in mind while composing. Second of all, this only applies if your goal is to make things look "naturalistic." When you look at objects, your eyes adjust to the amount of light available, which allows you to view any part of a real-world composition. But when you have a static image, things usually look "better" if you isolate detail to one area.ReplyDelete
I say "better" in quotes because the alternative is not inferior, it's just an approach with different goals. But one of the advantages is that it tends to unify a composition, making it easier to read. It is also easier to paint since you (often) are dealing with limited light sources.
Painting from life is much easier than having to invent a believable situation, but this guideline can help simplify that process.
Hope that helps, but perhaps I'll explore this more in a future post.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. This is really helpful and informative. I'm going to give this concept a try :)ReplyDelete

That's a beautiful panel, Paolo. Great bit of advice here, very informative, loving it.ReplyDelete
NICE!!! Some of those shapes are so simple but really read. And then he looses edges here and there which kind of make the air look heavy and mysterious, especially with the colorations he is putting in there. That's awesome!ReplyDelete

Knight interested in Georgia
Recommended Video:
By CHARLES ODUM
Associated Press
ATLANTA -- Bob Knight would consider returning to the sideline if the right coaching opportunity presented itself.
"It has to be a situation that I think is right for me and one where I would be right for the university," Knight told ESPN Radio. "It has to be one, from my standpoint, where I think we would have the wherewithal to recruit and be able to compete with anybody."
His name has been linked to the opening at Georgia, but Knight, who resigned as Texas Tech coach almost one year ago, said he has had no contact with Georgia.
And Georgia hasn't said it's interested in Knight.
Athletic director Damon Evans is heading the Georgia search after firing Dennis Felton on Thursday. Evans ultimately will make a recommendation to University of Georgia president Michael Adams.
Adams' friendship with NCAA president Myles Brand could become a factor. As the president at Indiana, Brand fired Knight. Adams is chair of the NCAA executive committee.
Dick Vitale said Georgia should pounce if it gets the opportunity to hire his fellow ESPN college basketball analyst.
"I don't even know if he would take a job but I know Georgia has a lot of positives going for it in the scenario there and I think he'd be interested, I really do, but I can't speak for Bob Knight," Vitale said in a telephone interview.
"To me it's no contest, if Bobby Knight is interested in Georgia basketball it's no contest. He's so good I'd come with him as an assistant. I'd be his chauffeur."
Evans promoted assistant coach Pete Herrmann to the top job for the remainder of the season. Evans, returning from the Super Bowl on Monday, did not return a phone message. He said Thursday he would use a search firm to help assemble the pool of candidates.
The 68-year-old Knight is the winningest men's major college coach with 902 victories in 42 seasons at Army, Indiana and Texas Tech. He resigned as Texas Tech's coach on Feb. 4, 2008, turning the team over to his son, Pat.
In Knight's six full years at Texas Tech, he led the Red Raiders to five 20-win seasons and four NCAA tournament berths. The Red Raiders advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 in 2005 but won only one other NCAA tournament game under Knight.
Knight began working as a studio analyst with ESPN last season and has expanded his duties to calling games this season. He was on the broadcast team for Monday night's Tennessee-Oklahoma women's game in Oklahoma City.

Its totally natural to be anxious right now. No matter how much you do to prepare for it before hand, no matter how many books you read on what its like, its still going to be a completely new and personal experience for all of you. There will be good days and bad days, easy weeks and weeks that will really test your stamina. There will be concepts you get right away and things your classmates understand but you cant seem to grasp. You will have the best days and worst days of your life so far in law school. You will meet your best friends and make relationships that will last the rest of your lives (and some of your current relationships wont last through law school). And when you come out you will be a very different person than when you went in. The way you think and look at life will be forever changed. Its going to be a fun three four years with just enough terror and disappointment thrown in to make it meaningful. Dont worry now, youll have plenty of time and reasons to do that later.
No, I'm not worried about that. I'm worried it's going to be as difficult as people say. I'm worried that the professors will be vicious, the reading will be incredibly difficult to comprehend, and I just plain old won't get it. I've been reading Law School Confidential and I've heard all the horror stories. It's especially because I want to do well in my first year.
Quote from: jhandin on July 13, 2009, 10:52:08 AMNo, I'm not worried about that. I'm worried it's going to be as difficult as people say. I'm worried that the professors will be vicious, the reading will be incredibly difficult to comprehend, and I just plain old won't get it. I've been reading Law School Confidential and I've heard all the horror stories. It's especially because I want to do well in my first year.The material really isn't too difficult. I can't stress this enough. The hardest part is thinking like a lawyer, writing like a lawyer, and handling the vast amount of information thrown at you in just a few months.
Credited. And the best and most important advice, and the part that many law students seem to miss (even some posters on here who are law students) is the thinking like a lawyer does not stop at the end of your exams. Its a skill you have to learn AND practice every day. Its a skill you have to practice on your own outside of school. If the only time your thinking like a lawyer is when your reading a hypo, youre not thinking like a lawyer. If the only time your using your logical skills is on exams, your missing the whole point of what law school is supposed to teach you but is not written in any book: changing the way you think about issues. Best thing you can do to prepare for that is stop having black and white opinions on anything, now. From now on critically think about decisions and views you hold in your life. About arguments you make on these message boards. Go beyond your surface views of any issue and THINK about the pros and cons, how you would argue against what you truly believe, what holes are in your thinking. Practice this everyday throughout law school. It matters not if your opinion changes, only that you learn and practice THINKING about if your opinion could change and what it would take proof wise for you to get there.This is thinking like a lawyer. Far too many law students think the only time youre supposed to critically analyze things is when a hypo is in front of you, in everyday life they forget what they are being taught, they never really get it. You have to be able to see the issue without the issue being placed in front of you. In practice it wont be a nice hypo for you to answer. So your critical thinking needs to be fine tuned almost to second nature by the time you graduate. You need to know, almost instinctively when an issue pops up without having anyone else point out its an issue for you. That only comes from taking the skills you learn about thinking beyond the classroom and applying them to everyday things. Then you start to see the hidden issues all around you. Then youre thinking like a lawyer.
The key to 1L is hard work, same as anything else in life. As mentioned above, the concepts really aren't hard, except MAYBE for a few things in Contracts and Constitutional law depending on your background. The stressfulness is almost entirely decided internally. If you are a naturally stressed person or someone who is always looking over to see what the other guy is doing, you will find law school very stressful. If you are naturally relaxed or have ways to relieve stress effectively, law school may actually be fun and rewarding (as I found it to be).There is going to be a lot of reading which will require a lot of time. If you struggle with focus on one topic, don't worry, there will be plenty to read for each class almost every night. Generally, I found the formula pretty simple. Read everything before you go to class. Take detailed notes on your reading. Go to class. Take abridged notes in class focusing on things that the professor emphasizes. After class, review your notes in the areas that the professor seemed to pay most attention to as well as any areas you still don't fully understand.If you are able to dedicate yourself to this process for the better part of 6 days a week, you will be more than fine.

U.S. swimmers dominated in the pool again Wednesday, with an Olympic-record setting win for the women's team in the 4x200m freestyle relay and a surprising gold for Nathan Adrian in the 100m freestyle.
Anchor swimmer Allison Schmitt powered the women to victory, overcoming a half-second lead by the Australians to rally her team to win by a margin of more than a second.
U.S. & World
"I had confidence in them," Schmitt said of her teammates, "and I just wanted to bring it home for them."
The Team USA foursome, rounded out by Missy Franklin, Dana Vollmer andclocked in at an Olympic-record 7:42.92 seconds. The Aussies finished at 7:44.41.
"Allison is a fighter and she can push through anything," Franklin told The Associated Press. "We had total faith in her."
Schmitt's powerhouse final leg gave the 22-year-old her second gold medal in as many days, after she finished the 200m freestyle Tuesday night, more than two seconds ahead of the second-place finisher from France. It also delivered Franklin and Vollmer their second gold each at the Olympics, after Franklin won the 100m backstroke and Vollmer the 100m butterfly.
The U.S. women's relay win Wednesday came on the heels of an unexpected win in a men's event, when Adrian stunned his Aussie world champ rival, his star teammate Ryan Lochte and even himself in the 100m freestyle sprint.
"We were in the ready room and we watched it and just went nuts," Lochte said. "We were screaming and everything. That was one of the greatest finishes."
Adrian won by a hair, becoming the first American to clinch the gold in the event since 1988.
"I had no idea, to be honest,'' the Berkeley, Calif.-bred swimmer told the AP. "I'm a guy that has a lot of speed and I can go out fast and I die a little more than he does."
That sure didn't happen Wednesday in the 100m final. Adrian clocked 47.52 seconds to win by 0.01, just ahead of James "The Missile" Magnussen of Australia. Magnussen touched in 47.53 to take the silver medal, and Brent Hayden of Canada finished in 47.80 for bronze.
"It is very humbling," Magnussen said. "It is a pretty tough time to learn you are human."
Despite U.S. dominance in men's swimming, with Adrian's towering teammate Michael Phelps setting a record Olympic medal haul with another gold Tuesday, an American win in Adrian's sprint hadn't come since Matt Biondi's in Seoul.
The Americans notched another notable win, during a non-medal race, when Rebecca Soni broke the world record for women's 200m breaststroke in the semi-finals, clocking 2:20.00. The previous world record was set in 2009.
"Whoa, Rebecca just set a world record," Adrian, who had just won the 100m free, remarked just after her finish. "I'm overshadowed by Rebecca setting a world record."
"It's been four years since I swam close to that fast, so it's great to be back on top like that," Soni told the AP.
Soni will race in the finals at 2:40 p.m. ET Thursday.

Looking back to 2011: 15,000 Run 15K
16,799 Entries In Jacksonville's 34th Annual Gate River Run
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A glitch that delayed the start of the 34th Gate River Run by five minutes didn't fluster the top-seeded men or women in Saturday's race or the thousands of recreational athletes who pounded the pavement of downtown Jacksonville, San Marco and St. Nicholas.
Mo Trafeh, 25, of Duarte, Calif., crossed the finish line at 42.58 -- the exact time he had to become last year's 15K champion -- and Jen Rhimes, 36, of Mammoth, Calif., finished at 49:31 to win the woman's title.
Race officials said 14,971 of the 16,799 who registered to run the 15K completed the course. For the first time, women finishers outnumbered men. The first local runner across the finish line was Kim Pawelek, 37, with a time of 56:53.
"Women have steadily been growing in numbers in this race and now represent the largest-growing segment in the sport," race director Doug Alred said.
Full Results: All Finishers, Times
Todd Williams, five-time River Run winner, said Saturday's cool, calm conditions were the best since 1995, the year he set the 15K record of 42:22. That record that still stands.
The top-seeded women, who got a six-minute "equalizer" head start, took off about 8:31 a.m.. Half-way into the 15K, Katie McGregor was leading the other elite women by a few strides and Trafeh, was the first man at a San Marco check point.
But by the time the top seeds reached the Hart Bridge, Rhimes was in the lead.
"I had to give it a good effort to catch the girl at the top of the hill," Trafeh said. "It helps a lot knowing the course."
Trafeh said since he's in training for the London marathon, he will rest a little at the hotel, then go out for a training run in the afternoon.
"I'm probably in the best shape of my life at age 36, so I'm really excited," Rhimes told Channel 4's Sam Kouvaris. "This was the first professional I won, so it's really special to me to come back 13 years later and win it again."
There were 1,400 more runners in the 15K than last year -- and another 4,500 people registered in either the 5K or the 1 mile fun run.
According to Alred, this was the 10th consecutive year of growth in Jacksonville's largest participatory sporting event, and it remains the largest 15K in the United States.
This year's elite field included four Olympians, 10 national champions and six former champions competing in the race designated as the 15K USA National Championship.
Other Gate River Run events Saturday included the Florida Times-Union 5K Run and Walk for Charity, the Brooks Rehab Challenge Mile, the Adidas Junior River Run (1 mile) for children and a Diaper Dashes for ages 1 to 4.
Runners heard 12 bands along the course, including on both sides of the Hart Bridge, and were cheered on by hundreds of people who lined streets, many inspiring the runners by holding signs or playing inspiring music.

The Gaiscioch Family is a collective of many guilds. In Warhammer Online we experimented with the idea of using in game guilds as sub communities. We had 4 guilds that were known as the Gaiscioch, Gaiscioch na Anu, Gaiscioch na Nuada, and Gaiscioch na Sigmar. Gaiscioch na Anu and Gaiscioch na Sigmar was where we introduced new members to the family while Gaiscioch na Nuada focused on hard core PvP and Raiding and Gaiscioch focused on social and casual gaming. By separating these 2 types of players we found a lot less friction between the 2 playstyles. On event nights members from all areas would come to join us.
In RIFT we quickly saw that the size of our family and the strength of our family was going to cause a lopsided server community. To bridge that gap we split off a sister guild on the Defiant side called Gaiscioch na Nuada. This allowed us to host community events for both sides at the same time. While this was a blessing on some fronts it was also a curse on others. In the future the Gaiscioch look to return to the simplicity of the multi-guild system.
Guild Wars 2, allows us to take this setup to the next level. By allowing members to join multiple guilds the Gaiscioch Family look to build the next generation of our family tree. The house will be divided into 6 rooms.
This is where all new members to the family start, they learn the ropes get connected with others and begin learning how we work and operate. Think of this room as the entryway to our house.
This is the social / casual gaming branch of our house. This is where people socialize, get to know one another, and share many casual adventures. Think of it as the Living Room of a house.
This branch of our house is named after one of the greatest men to ever wear the name Gaiscioch above his head. Roger "Oldroar" Rall was a dear friend and father figure to most everyone he came in contact with. In his last days he spent most of his time researching and promoting Guild Wars 2 among our family. He was one of our greatest warlords and friends and he will be missed dearly. We will be hosting an in game memorial the week the game goes live.
This house is focused on Oldroar's favorite style of gameplay. RvR. This is where our WvWvW campaigns stem out of and the focus of this branch will be 100% on PvP. Already many of you have seen the [GnR] tag as will many in the coming years. It is in Oldroar's memory that we've named this branch after him and his legendary voice.
This branch of our house is focused on Skilled PvE. The most challenging fights will be the focus of this branch of our tree working on slaying every beast or creature that stands in their way.
This will be our branch of story and lore. The roleplayers of the Gaiscioch Family will frequent this room telling stories of old and new, of epic conquest and defeat, as well as documenting every unexplored region of any universe we exist in.
In Celtic folklore Goibniu was a legendary smith and in our family Goibniu is the center of all crafting activities. This room of our house will be devoted to all things crafting and gathering and be a mind-share for new recipes, brilliant weapon designs and a social channel for the crafting mind.
The beauty of the Guild Wars 2 guild system is it allows players to switch between rooms as easilly as open a door and walking through it. Members can enter and leave rooms of the house with ease and do not have to worry about leaving a guild or asking for an invite once they have joined. All they must do is click "Represent" on their guild list and they will appear in the room. This allows for the guild chat channel to focus specifically on a playstyle without having to hear all of the chatter from the other rooms of a house.
Think of it like this. If you were in a room with 3000 people who were all trying to talk at the same time, it wouldn't be very confortable and it would be really hard to understand what your saying. By separating it out into smaller more directed groups it allows for questions to be seen, answers to be heard, and orders to be given. We may exist across many in game guilds but we act as one family.
Depending on size restrictions, we may in some cases open 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th rooms to each of these styles of gameplay. We look to accommodate all forms of gameplay and look to provide members with a focused experience for all of their needs.

London, Nov 30 (UNI) Praveen Halappanavar, husband of an Indian dentist who died in Ireland after she was refused termination of an unviable pregnancy, will move the European Court of Human Rights for justice as Irish authorities did not agree to conduct a public inquiry into his wife's case.
Praveen's solicitor Gerard O'Donnell said he was identifying a team of junior and senior counsel for the action because Irish Health Minister James Reilly did not agree to a public inquiry into the circumstances of 31-year-old Savita's death, according to the Irish Times.
"I expect to sit down with them and my client early next week to draw up papers to submit to the European court," he was quoted as saying.
Praveen has said the two inquiries established into his wife's death did not satisfy him or her family.
The first was set up by the Health and Security Executive (HSE), while the second by the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA). Both will be held in private.
O'Donnell said the family had received offers of support from women's and human rights groups across the world in its quest for a public inquiry into Savita's death.
Savita died on October 28 at Galway University Hospital.
She had been 17-week pregnant and was found to be miscarrying.
Praveen has said she asked repeatedly for a termination of the pregnancy but was refused on the grounds that the foetal heartbeat was still present and "this is a Catholic country".
The miscarriage lasted from October 21 to 24, according to Praveen. His wife contracted septicaemia and died on October 28.

|Oracle® Fusion Middleware Modeling and Implementation Guide for Oracle Business Process Management
11g Release 1 (188.8.131.52.3)
Part Number E15176-11
|PDF · Mobi · ePub
This chapter provides a general introduction to Oracle BPM Studio and describes how it is used within the Oracle BPM Suite.
This chapter includes the following sections:
Section 3.2, "Overview of the Application Development Life Cycle"
Section 3.3, "Introduction to the Oracle BPM Studio User Interface"
Oracle BPM Studio is a component of the Oracle BPM Suite that enables process developers to create process-based applications. It also enables process analysts and developers to model business processes.
Oracle BPM Studio is part of the Oracle JDeveloper IDE. and shares many of the JDeveloper user interface elements used by the Oracle SOA Suite.
There are three typical use cases for Oracle BPM Studio:
Develop process-based business applications based on process models created using the Oracle BPA Suite or Oracle Business Process Composer.
Create process models and implement them as process-based business applications.
Create project templates that are used in Business Process Composer to create running business applications.
See Section 3.2 for information on how these use cases fit into the general workflow of the application development life cycle.
The JDeveloper environment can be tailored based on the role selected by the user. The modified environment removes unneeded items from JDeveloper, including menus, preferences, New Gallery, and even individual fields on dialogs. The JDeveloper role you select determines which technologies and options are available to you as you work in JDeveloper.Oracle BPM includes the Analyst Role which only includes process design elements that are useful to business analysts.Process developers who need access to the complete functionality of the Oracle BPM and SOA Suites should use the default role.
This section describes the application development life cycle from the perspective of a process developer using Oracle BPM Studio.
The different workflows of the application development cycle described in the following sections are divided into the following stages:
In a real-world application development environment, the distinctions between these stages may not be clearly defined. Process developers may need to add to or change a process when creating an application.
A final production application may go through several iterations of modeling and implementation before it is deployed as a working application. Additionally, applications may be deployed for testing then passed back to the modeling and implementation stages before being deployed to a production environment.
Figure 3-1 shows a typical workflow where all stages of application design are performed using Oracle BPM Studio.
Figure 3-1 Modeling, Implementation, and Deployment from Studio
The following steps describe each stage of the workflow:
Create process models using Oracle BPM Studio (process analyst / process developer).
Implement the required services and application resources (process developer).
Compile the application (process developer).
Deploy to Oracle BPM runtime (process developer / process administrator).
Figure 3-1 shows a typical workflow for using Business Process Composer to perform the initial stages of the application development life-cycle.
Figure 3-2 Using Oracle Business Process Composer to Create Project Blueprints
The following steps describe each stage of this workflow:
Create blueprints using Business Process Composer (process analyst)
Publish the project containing the process blueprint to MDS (process analyst)
Open the project in Oracle BPM Studio (process developer)
Implement the project as part of a process-based business application. (process developer)
Deploy the project to runtime or save as a project template
Deploy the process to runtime (process developer, business administrator), or
Save the application as a project template (process developer)
Export the project as a SAR file (process analyst), which is then deployed to Oracle BPM run time (business administrator)
Figure 3-1 shows a typical workflow for using Oracle BPM Studio at the beginning of the workflow to create process templates which are then edited by process analysts using Business Process Composer.
Figure 3-3 Using BPM Studio to Create Project Templates
The following steps describe each stage of this workflow:
Create a project template using Oracle BPM Studio (process developer).
Publish the template to MDS (process developer).
Create a new project based on the project template using Business Process Composer. (process analyst).
Edit the processes within the project based on the edit policies defined by the template (process analyst).
Validate the project (process analyst).
Deploy the project or return the project to the process developer by republishing to MDS.
Deploy the process directly to Oracle BPM run time (process analyst, business administrator). This may require an approval workflow.
Republish the project to the Oracle BPM MDS partition. (process analyst) Republishing the project enables you to share it with other process analysts or with process developers who are responsible for implementing your business processes within an overall application.
Export the project as an SAR file (process analyst). This file can be deployed to Oracle BPM run time (process administrators).
Figure 3-4 shows a typical workflow for creating process models using the Oracle BPA Suite, then using Oracle BPM Studio to create and deploy process-based business applications.
Figure 3-4 Using Studio to Implement Processes from Oracle BPA
The following steps describe each stage of the workflow:
Create process models using the Oracle BPA suite (process analyst)
Import process models to Oracle BPM Studio (process developer)
Implement (process developer)
Compile (process developer)
Deploy to Oracle BPM runtime (process developer / process administrator)
Deploy directly from Oracle BPM Studio using MDS.
Export the project as a SAR file that can be imported to BPM runtime using Oracle Enterprise Manager
Since Oracle BPM Studio is an integrated part of Oracle JDeveloper, the user interface uses many of the same components as other Oracle products. This section describes the various UI components used by Oracle BPM Studio.

Like the Project Navigator, the Application Navigator displays a hierarchical view of the components of a project. However, these are lower-level components that include the underlying configuration files, XML files, java classes, and other resources used by a SOA composite application.
Figure 3-7 shows some of the files of the Sales Quote example that appear in the Application Navigator.
Figure 3-7 Application Navigator
See the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle SOA Suite for more information about the contents of a SOA composite application.
The process editor enables you to model business processes by dragging and dropping BPMN components, called flow objects, from the Component Palette. Figure 3-8 shows the Request Quote example process opened in the process editor. You can also use the flow object dropdown menus on the toolbar to insert objects.
Figure 3-8 Process Editor
The BPM Component Palette contains a list of the BPMN flow objects supported by Oracle BPM. You can model business processes by dragging and dropping these flow objects from the BPM Component Palette to the process editor. See Chapter 6, "Modeling Business Processes with Oracle BPM" for more information on using flow objects to model business processes.
The BPMN flow objects are grouped in the Component Palette according to type, such as Activities, Events, and Gateways. A group may be further divided into subtypes. Figure 3-9 shows the Activities group in the BPM Component Palette expanded to show two types of activities, Default and Interactive.
Figure 3-9 Component Palette
The Property Inspector lets you view and edit the properties of the current process in the process editor, or the properties of a selected flow object in the process, if the object participates in property inspection. The flow objects that can be inspected include activity, business rule, call activity, manual task, receive task, script task, send task, and service task.
Figure 3-10 shows the properties of the user task Enter Quote in the Property Inspector. The main area of the Property Inspector organizes groups of properties in named sections that can be expanded or collapsed by clicking the + or - icon. Only sections relevant to the selected process or object appear in the Property Inspector, such as General, Advanced and Simulation for a process, and General, Implementation, Data Associations and Simulation for a user task flow object.

The Oracle BPM MDS Browser allows you to view and use projects and project templates stored in the Oracle BPM MDS repository. For more information about MDS repositories, see Section 4.5, "Using the Oracle BPM Metadata Service (MDS) Repository".
Figure 3-11 Oracle BPM MDS Browser
The Structure window offers a structural view of the data in the component currently selected in the active window of those windows that participate in providing structure: the diagrams, the navigators, the editors and viewers, and the Property Inspector.
The structure components displayed in the Structure window are usually of components selected in the Project Navigator or Application Navigator.
You can perform a variety of tasks from the Structure window, including:
Edit process properties
Configure an activity guide and create new milestones
Convert a BPMN Process to BPEL
Create business objects, modules, and business exceptions
Create new simulation models.
Figure 3-12 shows the Structure window when a BPMN process is selected in the BPM Project Navigator.
Figure 3-12 Structure View
The structure of a process is divided into the following categories in the Structure window: Activities, Business Indicators, Conversations, Correlations, Measurements, Process Data Objects, and Project Data Objects. If the process is a reusable process, two additional categories are provided: Process Input Arguments and Process Output Arguments. A category may have subcategories, for example, Activities is further subdivided into Activities, Gateways, and Events. For information about using flow objects to model business processes, see Chapter 6, "Modeling Business Processes with Oracle BPM".
The Thumbnail window allows you to display a thumbnail representation of the active business process that is opened in the process editor. Because the Thumbnail view is synchronized with the process editor, it is useful for navigating large processes that do not fit in the process editor window.
By default the Thumbnail window is located next to the Structure window, as shown in Figure 3-13. A white rectangle on the Thumbnail view shows the section of the process that is currently in view in the process editor. By dragging the white rectangle on the Thumbnail view, you can pan the process in the process editor, change which section of the process to view in the process editor, and quickly navigate to a specific object on the process.
Figure 3-13 Thumbnail View
The Simulation View allows you to run and see the result of project simulation models. Figure 3-14, shows the results of a simulation displayed as a bar chart.
Figure 3-14 Simulation View
The Log Window displays messages, errors, and warnings to the BPM project as well as compilation and deployment of SOA composite applications.
The Documentation Window allows you to create end-user and use case documentation for your processes. You add documentation for the entire process or for each flow object within your process. Figure 3-15 shows the Documentation Window.

Gboards or G Boards
My company makes custom pedal boards for musicians, usually for guitar and bass players. Our product is handbuilt in USA using the finest components. Our line of pedal boards is called Gboards. Our product is sold online at http://www.gboardsinc.com. The application is as follows: musicians will mount their guitar or bass effects pedals directly onto our Gboard system. The Gboard provides power for the effects pedals as well as loop switching and multiple routing options.
I have been playing guitar for 25 years and have owned many different pedal boards. I was never fully satisfied with the way they worked. They all seemed to be lacking one feature or another. So I decided to design my own (by a musician..for musicians).
I am also a licensed architect by profession, so I know a bit about design. We have given our shot at a really cool logo, but I am not satisfied with our results. I want this logo to be really cool and fun looking. I want musicians to smile when thay see it. Although it is a serious piece of equipment, the logo should say " this is cool", "this is fun" because music should be fun...
That's the image I am seeking for my company.
Musicians. usually guitar and bass players. We wil advertising in trade magazines such as Guitar Player, Premier Guitar and Vintage Guitar. We will also be launching our online marketing plan as well. Musicians is our target audience. Any musician from the part time hobbyist to the full time professional.
The logo will be used in the following applications:
1) As a nameplate mounted directly onto the product, probablay on a metal plate. This version should have color.
2) As a white version which will be directly silkscreened onto the black carying case. this version should be simplified due to the silkscreening process.
3) The logo will also be displayed on the website.
4) In paper advertising such as magazine ads.
The Gboard logo shall be used on our line of pedal boards. We are also working on other product lines as well. These new products will be represented by a different logo, but all products and logos will fall under one umbrella company.
Other items tha can be incorporated into the logo:

Junior goalkeeper Nikola Deiter made nine saves in net for the Central Connecticut women's soccer team, but it wasn't enough as the Blue Devils dropped their season opener 3-0 on the road at #23 Boston University on Friday night. Central is 0-1.
The Terriers, who won a school-record 19 games last season, are 1-0. They came into the game ranked 23rd in the country in the August 7th NSCAA Preseason National Poll.
Deiter's nine saves were the most in a single game for the junior captain since last Sept. 11 when she made 10 in a 2-2 draw vs. Syracuse. Eight of her saves came before halftime.
BU led 1-0 at the break, off the first goal of the season from Brea Hewitt. She took a rebound off a corner kick and gave the Terriers the lead in the 29th minute.
Two goals in a five minute span in the second half pushed the lead to 3-0 for BU. Jamie Turchi scored in the 71st minute and then Hewitt added her second tally of the match five minutes later.
The Terriers held a 12-3 advantage in shots on goal in the match, and a 10-1 edge in corner kicks.
The Blue Devils will be off until next Friday when they travel to Vermont for a 4 p.m. match. They will play twice in three days in the University of Vermont Fall Classic. On Sunday, Aug. 26, they will play New Hampshire at 11 a.m.

The combination of a liberal arts background and a traditional engineering program provides excellent preparation for a career in engineering.
Wittenberg offers this opportunity through a 3-2 and a 4-2 option with the prominent engineering programs at the Case School of Engineering at Case Western Reserve University (CW) and the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Columbia University (CU).
All of these options require careful planning to meet the specified requirements. If you are interested in pursuing one of these options or would like to learn more, please contact the combined plan program liaison, Professor of Physics Elizabeth George, at email@example.com.
The 3-2 Program
In the 3-2 program, a student will attend Wittenberg for three years and then an engineering program at a partner institution for two years. Upon successful completion of the fifth year, the student will earn a bachelor's degree from both Wittenberg and the partner institution. Under this option, the student can also elect to spend four years at Wittenberg and two years at the engineering program. The following areas of engineering can be pursued through this option.
- Aerospace Engineering (CW)
- Applied Mathematics (CU)
- Applied Physics (CU)
- Biomedical Engineering (CU, CW)
- Chemical Engineering (CU, CW)
- Civil Engineering (CU, CW)
- Computer Engineering (CU)
- Computer Science (CU)
- Earth and Environmental Engineering (CU)
- Electrical Engineering (CU, CW)
- Engineering Mechanics (CU)
- Engineering Physics (CW)
- Industrial Engineering (CU)
- Engineering Management (CU)
- Operations Research (CU)
- Macromolecular Engineering (CW)
- Material Science and Engineering (CU, CW)
- Mechanical Engineering (CU, CW)
- Systems and Control Engineering (CW)
Under the terms of the agreement that Wittenberg University has as an affiliate institution with the Case School of Engineering at Case Western Reserve University and the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Columbia University, Wittenberg students have a clearly defined pathway for admission to our partner schools and are provided typical admissions standards that include:
- A minimum overall grade point average of 3.3 (for Columbia) or 3.0 (for Case). Columbia also requires a minimum grade of a B in all science and mathematics pre-engineering requirements and that the student meet Columbia's English language proficiency requirements.[1] Case Western requires that students submit an SAT or ACT with writing score. This can be waived for U.S. citizens who have completed more than 45 semester hours of non-remedial coursework or who graduated from high school more than five years ago.
- Letters of recommendation are also required. Case Western requires a recommendation from a college instructor, and Columbia requires three favorable letters of recommendation: one from a science professor, one from a mathematics professor and one from the liaison of the 3-2 program.
- Completion of required pre-requisite courses by the end of the third (or fourth) year at Wittenberg University. These pre-requisite courses include courses required for a major at Wittenberg, completion of Wittenberg's general education program, and a selection of courses that form the core of the engineering curriculum. For a complete listing of the courses that form the core of the engineering curriculum and the equivalent course at Wittenberg, please see curriculum guides for Case Western Reserve University and Columbia University.
Information about the application process for the Case School of Engineering at Case Western Reserve University is available on their website. Information about the application process for the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Columbia University is available on their website
The 4-2 Program
The 4-2 program is an option for students who are interested in pursuing a masters degree in engineering. In this program, the student completes a degree at Wittenberg and applies for admission to the graduate school at the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Columbia University. Unlike the 3-2 program, admission is not guaranteed, but applicants from Wittenberg do receive some level of preference in the application process.
Other Options
In addition to the two options above, there have been several students in recent years who have pursued a 3-2 program in engineering at schools with whom Wittenberg does not have a formal arrangement. In recent years, students have successfully pursued a 3-2 program at the Ohio State University, University of Cincinnati, Wright State University, University of Michigan and SUNY-Buffalo.
Wittenberg students have also pursued graduate study (M.S. and Ph.D.) in engineering. In recent years, students have successfully pursued graduate study at the University of California, Riverside (bioengineering), Cornell University (mechanical engineering), University of Virginia (materials science and engineering), the Ohio State University (electrical engineering), and the Air Force Institute of Technology (nuclear engineering).
[1] For a candidate whose native language is not English and whose primary language of instruction has not been English for at least five years must demonstrate English language proficiency in one of the following ways: a minimum score of 600 (paper-based) or 100 (Internet-based) on the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), a minimum score of 7.0 on the IELTS (International English Language Testing System), or a minimum score of 650 on the Critical Reasoning or Writing sections of the SAT. Test must be taken by February 28, 2015, for consideration for the fall of 2015. If the test scores have expired, Columbia will accept a copy of the official score report from a test taken within the last five years that has been submitted by the student and certified by an official at Wittenberg. It may also be possible to satisfy this requirement by obtaining a grade of B or higher in English 101 at Wittenberg.


text: Yeah it's all very well to try this for the CT in India, but is it going to be any good for them in the West Indies? it's really only a short term option if you ask me. If it doesn't come off, they will have wasted at least 3 ODI's when a specialist opener could have been getting match time.

Throughout your life there can be many circumstances that require you to stand in front of a group (large or small) to present your ideas/sentiments on a topic. The stakes may be high or low depending on the occasion and the outcome of your efforts. The appreciation of a small group of friends, a grade in a college course, a raise, or even a large contract award may be dependent on your delivery. You can greatly increase the potential success of your presentation (provided your ideas are sound/worthy) by incorporating simple delivery techniques in your media.
Whether you opt to use PowerPoint, Prezi, SlideRocket, or any one of the other dozen or so presentation programs that exist, the effectiveness of your delivery can be increased when you're sitting down to put things together on the screen. There are tried and true elements you can include to increase your ability to communicate with your audience. Likewise, there are many items that can sabotage your delivery efforts -- that you can easily avoid.
Follow the guidelines below when you're constructing your presentation. Refer to the Include/Avoid list and make edits as necessary. When you think you're done, see how your presentation stacks up by evaluating your work with the checklist included at the end.
1. Use Images/Diagrams
- Use more images than text in your presentation.
- Images can set the tone of your content and convey ideas more clearly.
- It's especially helpful to use appropriate images on your "Title" slide as this
- may be projected for an extended period of time.
- Make sure your images have a purpose/help to focus your ideas, but be selective.
- Avoid using images merely for decorations. They must serve a purpose/have meaning.
2. Use Contrast
- Use light-colored text on a dark background (preferred) or dark-colored text on a light background.
- There should always be a marked contrast between the colors you choose for the text and the color of the background.
- When you incorporate a clear contrast between the text and background, it makes it easier to read and doesn't create eye strain.
3. Use Text Fonts/Sizes that Make it Easy to Read
- Use fonts that were designed for screen/projector use (as opposed to print).
- Georgia & Tahoma fonts were designed with screen/projector use in mind.
- By using common fonts (and avoiding fancy, computer-specific fonts) you won't run into a problem that could reposition all of your text -- making it difficult to read. (If you want a specific font for a title -- build a .Gif. And if you don't know what that means -- just stick with the more popular fonts you already have.)
- Use font sizes that are 28 points or higher to make it easier to read and to avoid eye strain.
- Use upper case for titles only. There should be no 'shouting' text in your body content.
4. Use Bullets PROPERLY to Convey the Highlights/Headlines
Follow the 6 x 6 Rule for using Bullets
- Don't use more than 6 words per bullet (okay, 7-8 tops) (Don't use complete sentences, and when possible use action words)
- Don't use more than 6 bullets per slide (If you have more than 6, break it into two slides)
- Reveal each bullet one at a time -- as you cover them (This applies to charts/diagrams as well)
- Following this rule helps you to avoid putting all your text onscreen
- Following this rule helps your audience to stay with you as you discuss each item (and they won't have the option of reading ahead of you).
5. Use Spell-check! (always)
- Use the spell-check feature. - Nothing detracts from your credibility with an audience more than poor spelling.
- If the software you're using doesn't have this option, copy your text into a program that does -- and check your work. If that's not an option, have two other people proof your work.

Lowest of four NRC emergency action levels reached due to high water levels
Forked River , NJ Exelon Nuclear declared an "Unusual Event" at Oyster Creek Generating Station at 7p.m. today after water levels in the plant's intake structure reached higher than normal levels.
This is an anticipated declaration required by procedures and is the result of Hurricane Sandy's impact on the region. There is no challenge to the safety of the plant. Oyster Creek is currently shut down for planned maintenance and refueling.
Oyster Creek is a robust and fortified facility, capable of withstanding the most severe weather. When the storm was identified, operators performed a host of plant inspections to ensure that all safety systems were operational and that outside equipment and materials were properly secured.
An Unusual Event is the lowest of four emergency classifications established by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. There is no danger to the public or plant employees associated with this declaration.
Exelon Nuclear has notified all appropriate federal, state and local emergency response officials of the Unusual Event.
Oyster Creek is about 60 miles east of Philadelphia in Ocean County, New Jersey. The plant produces 636 net megawatts of electricity at full power, enough electricity to supply 600,000 typical homes, the equivalent to all homes in Monmouth and Ocean counties combined. In addition, plant workers, through their payrolls, are responsible for more $96 million injected directly into New Jersey's economy.

While it is true that Memorial Day serves as the unofficial start of summer, we should remember that it is actually a day to remember our fallen service men and women.
As we wrap up wars half way around the world and bring our soldiers home, we should take a second and remember all of our soldiers who did not return from Iraq and Afghanistan. We should also remember those who did not come home from Vietnam, Korea, WWII, WWI, and countless other wars our country has fought in its short histroy.
Regardless of what you think of war, we can honor these men and women. If you can get to a military cemetery, put a flower or a flag on a soldier's grave. If you cannot, please take some time out of your day to think about them and remember them.
I woke up this morning thinking about the military cemetery in Normandy where 10,000 of our fallen soldiers are buried. I took this picture when our family visited Normandy almost three years ago. You can't see something like that without feeling the loss. Please take some time to feel that today.
