General Policies

Absences for Pregnancy or Childbirth

In accordance with Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972, absences due to pregnancy or related conditions, including recovery from childbirth, shall be excused for as long as the student’s doctor deems the absences to be medically necessary. When the student returns to the College she shall be reinstated to the status she held when the leave began, which includes the opportunity to make up any missed work. The College may offer the student alternatives to making up missed work, such as retaking a semester, taking part in on-line instruction, or allowing the student additional time in a program to continue at the same pace and finish at a later date.

For more information, please contact the either the Registrar at registrar@necc.mass.edu, or the Dean of Academic Advising, Articulation, Transfer, Testing and TRiO at advising@necc.mass.edu.

Absence for Religious Reasons

Students who, due to religious beliefs, are unable to attend classes or to participate in any examination, study or work requirements on a particular day, shall be excused from any such examination or study or requirement, and shall be provided with an opportunity to make up such examination, study, or work requirement which they may have missed because of such absence on any particular day, provided, however, that such makeup examination or work shall not create an unreasonable burden upon the school. No fees of any kind shall be charged by the institution for making available to said students such opportunity. No adverse or prejudicial effects shall result to students for availing themselves of the provisions for an absence for religious reasons in accordance with Chapter 375, General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Academic Ethics and Plagiarism

Plagiarism is a very serious violation of academic ethics and the NECC Student Code of Conduct. The college expects all students to maintain high standards of academic honesty and integrity.

Plagiarism is defined by the College to be the use of any other person’s research, images, words or ideas as though they were your own, without giving appropriate credit to the original source. If a student uses another person’s research, images, words or ideas he/she must give credit to the original source through proper citation (consult the instructor about this requirement), regardless of whether the use is a direct quote, or it is incorporated into his/her own work.

Instructors are required to provide students with a clearly written definition of plagiarism applicable in their discipline as part of the course syllabus that they provide during the first two weeks of each course.

Plagiarism may range in severity from unintentional omission of credit, to intentional, dishonest representation of borrowed work as one’s own. In most cases, plagiarism will be dealt with by the faculty member in charge of the course, and students will be sanctioned according to the severity of the offense.

Students’ academic offenses, as outlined in the Regulations Governing Student Conduct (see Student Code of Conduct at www.necc.mass.edu/collegepolicies), are usually handled by faculty members and/or their supervisors, with the procedural protections mentioned in the Regulations Governing Student Conduct.

Students are responsible for understanding what plagiarism is in each of their classes. The college’s definition and that of their instructor will be used as a criterion against which all plagiarism allegations will be judged. Instances of plagiarism will be addressed first by the instructor who discovers, or is made aware of, the incident. Instructors must discuss the evidence of plagiarism with the student prior to taking action. Instructors who take action as a result of a plagiarism incident may report such action to the vice president of academic affairs. There shall be a range of penalties at the discretion of the instructor which may extend to a recommendation to the vice president of academic affairs for expulsion from the College. The vice president of academic affairs may take disciplinary action against students who are reported for plagiarism.

Students have a right to file a grievance if they feel that the action taken in the alleged plagiarism case discriminated or abrogated their individual or student rights. Students may contact the vice president of enrollment management and student services office for detailed information regarding the Board of Higher Education’s Student Grievance Procedures.

Assessment of Program and Institutional-Level Learning Outcomes

NECC’s commitment to student success involves the evaluation of student work at the program, department, and/or campus levels to help ensure that students are achieving the learning outcomes identified by our programs and the college. This process may include the collection of such evidence as student classroom products or classroom-associated reports of student knowledge or skill demonstrations. All collected products will have any identifying information removed before they are reviewed. Results from these reviews are then aggregated to provide an overall view of students’ outcomes achievements. Assessments carried out at the program, department, and/or campus levels will not impact students’ course grades. The process of assigning grades will continue to be the responsibility of the course instructors. Any student who does not wish to have their products collected for program, department, or campus-level assessment can opt out by notifying their instructor.

Attendance and Participation
(NP Policy)

For classroom, laboratory, videoconference, and clinical courses, students are expected to attend each meeting of each class in which they are enrolled. For online courses, students are expected to participate at a level acceptable to the instructor.

Documenting Attendance in Distance Education Courses

Changes to federal financial aid regulations in recent years have highlighted the importance of accurate reporting on student attendance and participation in all courses, including online courses. To stay in compliance with federal financial aid regulations, the college is providing the following procedural guidance for faculty filling out non-participation rosters for distance education courses.

To quote from the Federal Student Aid Handbook:

“In a distance education context, documenting that a student has logged into an online class is not sufficient, by itself, to demonstrate academic attendance by the student. A school must demonstrate that a student participated in class or was otherwise engaged in an academically related activity, such as by contributing to an online discussion or initiating contact with a faculty member to ask a course-related question.” FSA Handbook, Volume 5, Chapter 2, 5-60.

For practical purposes, this means that a student needs to be more than merely logging in to an online course (without showing any other kind of active participation) to be considered in academic attendance. Given the wide range of approaches used to teach online courses, monitor student activity, and assess student performance, individual faculty members are best positioned to determine whether their students are in attendance in a distance education course. However, to stay in compliance with federal financial aid regulations, that determination must consist of something more than a student just logging in and out of a course.

In every case, the class instructor has full and final authority to decide whether a student is permitted to make up work missed through absence or lack of participation, and on what terms. Attendance and participation policies are noted on each course syllabus.

Faculty have the academic authority to remove students from their class for nonattendance or non-participation. A non-participating (NP) student is one who has excessive absences, has missed quizzes, tests or papers, or otherwise has failed to meet the participation standard clearly delineated in the course instructor’s syllabus.

An NW grade is assigned when non-participating students are removed from a class. Although the NW grade is not included in students’ grade point average, it may have other adverse consequences.

A student may be removed from a course for inappropriate classroom behavior that is in clear violation of the student code of conduct published in the Student Code of Conduct and NECC Policies & Procedures (see www.necc.mass.edu/collegepolicies). Faculty must follow notification procedures as prescribed in the code and should not use the NP Policy for this purpose.

Home Schooling Policy

All home school students, without a high school diploma or GED, are eligible to apply for admission to a degree or certificate program provided they have successfully completed an approved home school program in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws or the laws of their home state.

To determine whether a student has participated in an approved home school program, the student shall submit, with the application for admission, evidence that the home school program was approved by the student’s school district’s superintendent or school committee. Additionally, if the home schooled student is under the age of compulsory attendance, which is sixteen (16) years old in Massachusetts, a letter from the student’s school district’s superintendent or school committee is required stating that the student is not considered truant and would not be required to attend further schooling or continue to be home-schooled if the student has completed his/her home school program before the age of sixteen (16).

The College reserves the right to limit or deny enrollment of any student under the age of sixteen (16) in a course of program based on a case-by-case consideration of a variety of factors, including but not limited to: the student’s maturity, life experience, placement test scores, prior education, course content, instructional methodology, and potential risks associated with participation in a particular course or program.

Mandatory Assessment and Planned Course Placement

Academic Assessment Policies

Academic Assessment at NECC is defined as a test of a student’s abilities in reading, writing, math, and English as a Second Language (ESL).

The Massachusetts Department of Higher Education mandates that all students entering state colleges must complete an assessment in order to determine basic skills levels for course placement. Based on assessment results, a student may be required to initially enroll in one or more developmental or ESL courses in order to prepare for college level course work.

Assessment and planned course placement are required for students who meet one or more of the following criteria:

  • Students enrolling in a degree or certificate program (matriculated students).
  • Students enrolling in the following courses: English Composition I; college level math; developmental reading, writing, and math; ESL; all courses with numbers beginning with zero; and all other courses with entrance level skills requirements. Please refer to the course description to determine if an assessment is required for a particular course.
  • Non matriculated students will be allowed to register for up to two courses**, prior to assessment (with the exception of those courses listed above.)

**Courses are limited and must be selected from an approved list. The list is updated on a regular basis and is available in the Career Planning and Advising Center.

Expiration of Accuplacer Assessment results:

For students testing on or after February 1, 2015

  • All developmental reading, writing, math and ESL course placements are valid for one year from the date of assessment.
  • College level placements in reading, writing and math are valid for three years from the date of assessment.
Assessment Waivers:

Students with prior college credits or SAT scores may be eligible for a partial or full waiver of the Assessment.

Waivers are granted based on review of transcripts, CLEP and Advanced Placement Transcripts. Contact Enrollment Services at 978-556-3700 or stop in one of the Career Planning and Advising Centers to inquire about the waiver process.

Assessment Methods:

Reading, math, writing and sentence skills assessments are administered with the state-mandated Accuplacer test, a web-based assessment system. Students who apply for enrollment in English Language courses will be assessed with the Accuplacer LOEP reading test and specialized grammar, writing and communication assessments.

Math Placement Pilot Project:

In the Fall of 2014, Northern Essex Community College will participate in a pilot project that has been requested by the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education’s Task Force on Transforming Developmental Math Education.

In accordance with the state’s recommendations, all 2014 high school graduates and beyond will be eligible for a math placement based on their high school GPA or Accuplacer. The pilot study will include all 2014 graduates, both in and out of state.

  1. All students planning to enroll in Spring, 2015 classes or beyond should submit their final high school transcript as part of the application process.
  2. Accuplacer testing will still be required for entry into most courses. Students required to test should complete the Reading, Writing and Sentence Skills portion of the Accuplacer test. We strongly encourage all students to also take the math test at this time so that we may properly evaluate academic skills levels and help them register for the most appropriate math course.
  3. Students whose overall GPA is 2.7 or higher and meet the necessary reading prerequisite may register for an entry level college level math course, regardless of a developmental math placement with the Accuplacer test. For example, the GPA places the student into College Algebra & Trigonometry/Applied Technical Math but Accuplacer places the student into Basic Algebra II. The student will be eligible to register for College Algebra & Trigonometry/Applied Technical Math but also has the option to register for Basic Algebra II.
  4. High School GPAs will be accepted for 3 years from the date of graduation.
  5. The Accuplacer test can place students at a higher level than the GPA placement. Therefore, it is in their best interest to take the test.
  6. Only transcripts that are calculated on a scale of 4.0 will be used for this pilot. All others will be required to take Accuplacer.
  7. Anyone who falls outside of the 2014 graduation criteria, does not have a GPA noted on the transcript or does not provide a transcript will be required to take the Accuplacer math test for placement.
Special Accommodations for Assessments:

Students with documented disabilities should contact the Learning Accommodations Center to arrange for special accommodations well in advance of their assessment date.

‘Drug binge’ mice reveal why cravings linger

Drug cravings can persist long after an addict is “clean”, and often cause relapse. Now we are closer to understanding why, with a detailed picture of how the highly addictive drug methamphetamine causes long-lasting changes in key communication pathways between neurons in the brain.

Researchers led by Nigel Bamford of the University of Washington in Seattle, US, gave mice large doses of methamphetamine, equivalent to those taken by addicts during drug binges, to see how this affected communication between cells in the brain’s cortex and those in a region of the brain called the striatum.

Cells in the striatum called spiny neurons receive connections from neurons in the cortex that release the neurotransmitter glutamate. They also receive connections from other neurons in the mid-brain that release dopamine. This second neurotransmitter normally reinforces behaviours that are crucial for survival, such as seeking food.

Long lasting

But the system can be hijacked by addictive drugs, which cause a surge in the release of dopamine.

When Bamford and his colleagues treated mice with methampethamine on 10 consecutive days, the surge in dopamine caused a reduction in the release of glutamate from the cells in the cortex. This lasted for more than four months of withdrawal from the drug. “That’s years in humans,” says Bamford.

Only when the animals were given another dose of the drug were normal levels of glutamate release restored. This fits with one leading theory of addiction, which suggests that drugs of abuse disrupt the brain’s chemistry so that addicts must keep taking the drugs to try and restore things to normal.

Two of a kind

But why should the surge in dopamine caused by a dose of methamphetamine initially depress the release of glutamate, and later have the opposite effect?

Bamford says the answer lies with another group of cells in the striatum that affect communication between the spiny neurons and the cells in the cortex. These cells, known as interneurons, release the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

The interneurons have two types of dopamine receptor, called D1 and D2. Initially a drug-induced surge in dopamine stimulates the D2 receptors, which reduces the release of acetylcholine. This in turn inhibits the release of glutamate from the cells projecting from the cortex.

In the addicted brain, however, dopamine begins to stimulate the interneurons’ D1 receptors, which boost the release of acetylcholine.

Switched on

Although other teams have revealed aspects of this puzzle previously, Bamford says this is the first time the pieces have been pulled together into a single study.

“It definitely does tie everything together,” agrees Stephanie Borgland of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.

Although methamphetamine seems to be particularly addictive, Bamford expects the same basic mechanism to apply to other addictive stimulants, including cocaine.

Bamford is now planning further studies of the interneurons. “That’s really where the [addiction] ‘switch’ is,” he suggests.

Trying to block addiction using drugs that target the dopamine receptors would probably cause too many side effects, as dopamine has many functions in the brain. But it may be possible to target other receptors on the interneurons that influence the release of acetylcholine, Bamford says.

Timeline: Climate Change

The aftermath of the 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption, which caused global temperatures to drop for 2 years before rising again

900-1300: The Medieval Warm Period brings warm weather to Europe, thanks to an unusually strong North Atlantic Oscillation bringing in extra heat.

1350-1850: The Little Ice Age chills parts of the northern hemisphere.

1709: As the Little Ice Age comes to an end, Europe experiences a freakishly cold winter.

1827: French polymath Jean-Baptiste Fourier predicts an atmospheric effect keeping the Earth warmer than it would otherwise be. He is the first to use a greenhouse analogy.

1863: Irish scientist John Tyndall publishes a paper describing how water vapour can be a greenhouse gas.

1890s: Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius and an American, P C Chamberlain, independently consider the problems that might be caused by CO2 building up in the atmosphere. Both scientists realise that the burning of fossil fuels could lead to global warming, but neither suspects the process might already have begun.

1890s to 1940: Average surface air temperatures increase by about 0.25 °C. Some scientists see the American Dust Bowl as a sign of the greenhouse effect at work.

1940 to 1970: Worldwide cooling of 0.2°C. Scientific interest in greenhouse effect wanes. Some climatologists predict a new ice age.

1957: US oceanographer Roger Revelle warns that humanity is conducting a “large-scale geophysical experiment” on the planet by releasing greenhouse gases. Colleague David Keeling sets up first continuous monitoring of CO2 levels in the atmosphere. Keeling soon finds a regular year-on-year rise.

1970s: Series of studies by the US Department of Energy increases concerns about future global warming.

1979: First World Climate Conference adopts climate change as major issue and calls on governments “to foresee and prevent potential man-made changes in climate.”

1985: First major international conference on the greenhouse effect at Villach, Austria, warns that greenhouse gases will “in the first half of the next century, cause a rise of global mean temperature which is greater than any in man’s history.” This could cause sea levels to rise by up to one metre, researchers say. The conference also reports that gases other than CO2, such as methane, ozone, CFCs and nitrous oxide, also contribute to warming.

1987: Warmest year since records began. The 1980s turn out to be the hottest decade on record, with seven of the eight warmest years recorded up to 1990. Even the coldest years in the 1980s were warmer than the warmest years of the 1880s.

1988: Global warming attracts worldwide headlines after scientists at Congressional hearings in Washington DC blame major US drought on its influence. Meeting of climate scientists in Toronto subsequently calls for 20% cuts in global CO2 emissions by the year 2005. UN sets up the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to analyse and report on scientific findings.

1990: The first report of the IPCC finds that the planet has warmed by 0.5°C in the past century. IPCC warns that only strong measures to halt rising greenhouse gas emissions will prevent serious global warming. This provides scientific clout for UN negotiations for a climate convention. Negotiations begin after the UN General Assembly in December.

1991: Mount Pinatubo erupts in the Philippines, throwing debris into the stratosphere that shields the Earth from solar energy, which helps interrupt the warming trend. Average temperatures drop for two years before rising again. Scientists point out that this event shows how sensitive global temperatures are to disruption.

1992: Climate Change Convention, signed by 154 nations in Rio, agrees to prevent “dangerous” warming from greenhouse gases and sets initial target of reducing emissions from industrialised countries to 1990 levels by the year 2000.

1994: The Alliance of Small Island States – many of whom fear they will disappear beneath the waves as sea levels rise – adopt a demand for 20% cuts in emissions by the year 2005. This, they say, will cap sea-level rise at 20 centimetres.

1995: The hottest year recorded to date. In March, the Berlin Mandate is agreed by signatories at the first full meeting of the Climate Change Convention in Berlin. Industrialised nations agree on the need to negotiate real cuts in their emissions, to be concluded by the end of 1997.

In November, the IPCC states that current warming “is unlikely to be entirely natural in origin” and that “the balance of evidence suggests a discernible human influence on global climate”. Its report predicts that, under a “business as usual” scenario, global temperatures by the year 2100 will have risen by between 1°C and 3.5°C.

1996: At the second meeting of the Climate Change Convention, the US agrees for the first time to legally binding emissions targets and sides with the IPCC against influential sceptical scientists. After a four-year pause, global emissions of CO2 resume their steep climb, and scientists warn that most industrialised countries will not meet Rio agreement to stabilise emissions at 1990 levels by the year 2000.

1997: Kyoto Protocol agrees legally binding emissions cuts for industrialised nations, averaging 5.4%, to be met by 2010. The meeting also adopts a series of flexibility measures, allowing countries to meet their targets partly by trading emissions permits, establishing carbon sinks such as forests to soak up emissions, and by investing in other countries. The precise rules are left for further negotiations. Meanwhile, the US government says it will not ratify the agreement unless it sees evidence of “meaningful participation” in reducing emissions from developing countries.

1998: Follow-up negotiations in Buenos Aires fail to resolve disputes over the Kyoto “rule book”, but agree on a deadline for resolution by the end of 2000. 1998 is the hottest year in the hottest decade of the hottest century of the millennium.

2000: IPCC scientists re-assess likely future emissions and warn that, if things go badly, the world could warm by 6°C within a century. A series of major floods around the world reinforce public concerns that global warming is raising the risk of extreme weather events. But in November, crunch talks held in The Hague to finalise the “Kyoto rule book” fail to reach agreement after EU and US fall out. Decisions postponed until at least May 2001.

2001: The new US president, George W Bush, renounces the Kyoto Protocol because he believes it will damage the US economy. After some hesitation, other nations agree to go ahead without him. Talks in Bonn in July and Marrakech in November finally conclude the fine print of the protocol. Analysts say that loopholes have pegged agreed cuts in emissions from rich-nation signatories to less than a third of the original Kyoto promise. Signatory nations urged to ratify the protocol in their national legislatures in time for it to come into force before the end of 2002.

2002: Parliaments in the European Union, Japan and others ratify Kyoto. But the protocol’s complicated rules require ratification by nations responsible for 55% of industrialised country emissions, before it can come into force. After Australia joins the US in reneging on the deal, Russia is left to make or break the treaty, but hesitates. Meanwhile, the world experiences the second hottest year on record and Antarctica’s Larsen B ice sheet breaks up.

2003: Globally it is the third hottest year on record, but Europe experiences the hottest summer for at least 500 years, with an estimated 30,000 fatalities as a result. Researchers later conclude that climate change at least doubled the risk of the heatwave happening. Extreme weather costs an estimated record of $60 billion this year. 2003 also sees a marked acceleration in the rate of accumulation of greenhouse gases. Scientists are uncertain if it is a blip or a new, more ominous trend. Meanwhile Russia blows hot and cold over Kyoto.

2004: A deal is struck on Kyoto. President Putin announces in May that Russia will back the Protocol. On 18 November, the Russian parliament ratifies the protocol, paving the way for it to come into force in 2005. A study links the 2003 heatwave to global warming. Hollywood blockbuster The Day After Tomorrow bases its plot on an exaggerated climate change scenario.

2005: On 16 February, the Kyoto Protocol comes into force. In December, Kyoto signatories agree to discuss emissions targets for the second compliance period beyond 2012, while countries without targets, including the US and China, agree to a “non-binding dialogue” on their future roles in curbing emissions. Europe launches its Emissions Trading Scheme, despite criticism of the idea.

2005 is the second warmest year on record. Researchers link warming to a record US hurricane season, accelerated melting of Arctic sea ice and Siberian permafrost. At a pivotal climate meeting held in Exeter, UK, scientists warn that the west Antarctic ice sheet is starting to collapse.

2006: The Stern Report, commissioned by the UK government, argues that the costs of coping with climate change will be greater than the costs of preventing it. Al Gore’s climate change film An Inconvenient Truth becomes a box-office hit. Carbon dioxide emissions are found to be rising faster than in the 1990s, and new evidence bolsters the iconichockey stick” graph. The US Environmental Protection Agency is taken to the Supreme Court over its refusal to regulate CO2 emissions. US agencies, including NASA, are accused of trying to censor climate experts.

2007: The fourth Assessment Report of the IPCC places the blame for global warming firmly on humankind, estimates the cost of stabilising greenhouse gases at $1830 billion, and calls for governments to begin planning adaptive measures. Some of the most extreme scenarios are left out of the report, leading to accusations that it has been watered down. The synthesis report warns of “abrupt and irreversible” climate change.

Al Gore and the IPCC are awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, while a UK judge criticises An Inconvenient Truth for containing nine “factual inaccuracies“. TV documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle alleges that climate science is deeply flawed – the programme is later found to have misrepresented the science and interviewed researchers complain to the British watchdog for broadcasting standards, Ofcom. In April the US Supreme Court rules that the EPA does have the authority to regulate carbon dioxide emissions.

Measurements of solar activity show that it has declined since the 1980s, debunking the claim that it is responsible for global warming. At the annual UN climate summit held in December in Bali, government representatives from around the world agree a timetable to establish a post-2012 replacement for the Kyoto protocol. The United States delegation is publicly booed, then agrees to the pledge at the eleventh hour.

2008: The polar bear is listed on the US endangered species act, because of the risk to its habitat from climate change. Alaska threatens to sue over the decision. The World Conservation Union finds that thousands of species are at risk from climate change.

Barack Obama becomes president of the United States, promising increases in science funding, especially for climate change and energy technology. He appoints Nobel laureate winner and renewables expert Steve Chu as energy secretary.

2009: Governments, including the US, prepare to negotiate a successor to the Kyoto Protocol at a conference in December. Eric Steig and colleagues show that Antarctica is warming. A thin strip of ice protecting the Wilkins ice sheet from collapse breaks apart, hastening the sheet’s demise – while the Arctic continues to warm much faster than expected. A major study suggests that humanity can emit no more than 1 trillion tonnes of carbon, if we are to avoid temperature rises of 2°C or more.

Indigenous peoples from around the world meet in Alaska to agree a common position on climate change. Italy and Switzerland agree to redraw their border in response to melting glaciers.

Description & Analysis

The centennial of the dedication of the Statue of Liberty in 1986 was an obvious choice for a new series of commemorative coins, and it was decided that the history of immigration to America should be recognized, as well. This would prove to be one of the most successful commemorative coin programs of the modern era.

The statue of Liberty that stands in New York’s harbor was a gift to America from the Franco-American Union. It was intended that the monumental sculpture be dedicated on the occasion of the nation’s centennial in 1876, but the project fell behind schedule almost immediately. Sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi did, however, complete Liberty’s upraised arm that holds her torch of freedom, and this was on display at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia that year. Once the work was completed and disassembled for shipment to the United States, there remained the problem of raising funds for the pedestal upon which it stands. An appeal to the American people, particularly schoolchildren, finally brought in enough money to begin completion of the monument in 1884, and it was dedicated in October of 1886 on what is now known as Liberty Island. The actual name of this statue is “Liberty Enlightening the World.”

Three denominations were selected for this program of coins. Included were a half dollar of the copper-nickel-clad composition used for circulating coins, a silver dollar of the traditional .900 fine silver alloy and a gold half eagle that conformed to the .900 gold issues produced for circulation through 1929. All three would be produced in both proof and uncirculated finishes, with their production limited to just one mint for each of the six resulting issues. It was believed that this range of options would appeal to all budgets, as well as making for attractive three- and six-coin set for those who afford to spend a little more. This line-up was indeed successful, and it became the template for several later programs.

The half dollar depicts on its obverse an immigrant ship passing between the statue and the rising sun. It is a very attractive composition created by U. S. Mint Engraver Edgar Z. Steever IV, whose initials appear at lower left. The reverse by Sheryl J. Winter shows a newly arrived immigrant family examining the skyline of New York City from the dock at the Ellis Island Immigration Station, the point of entry for millions of immigrants from 1892 to 1954 (coincidentally, this is the same range of years for the earlier series of USA commemorative coins). Steever’s initials are at the lower left, alongside one of the immigrant’s bags. The uncirculated edition of this coin was minted at Denver (mintmark ‘D’ on the obverse to the right of the sun), while proofs were struck at the San Francisco Mint (‘S’).

The silver dollar in this program was the work of Mint Engraver John Mercanti, but the reverse is partially credited to Matthew Peloso. Though the obverse depicts the State of Liberty, its main theme is “Ellis Island, Gateway to America.” A view of the immigration station appears behind the statue, while Mercanti’s initials are just to the right of the statue on the horizon. The reverse of this coin is perhaps the weakest image in the program, as it is merely a view of Liberty’s torch surrounded by stylized rays and an excerpt from the famous poem by Emma Lazarus, herself an immigrant. Though not visible on the coin, these powerful words appear upon the tablet that Liberty holds in her left hand. The initials of Matthew Peloso and John Mercanti are placed near the rim at lower right. The Philadelphia Mint (‘P’) struck the uncirculated version, its mintmark appearing below the motto IN GOD WE TRUST, while San Francisco produced the proof edition.

The gold half eagle was widely anticipated by collectors, and U. S. Mint Chief Engraver Elizabeth Jones did not disappoint them. Her dramatic perspective view of the statue’s head for the obverse of this coin is one of the most memorable images in the modern commemorative series. Jones’ initials ‘EJ’ are tucked into the field just to the left of the first ray. A more conventional image appears on the reverse, that of an eagle in profile about to land. Though Philip Fowler of the Mint staff assisted Jones in the preparation of this model, the initials of neither artist appear on the reverse. Both the uncirculated and proof editions of this coin type were struck at the West Point Mint in New York State, and its mintmark ‘W’ is seen on the obverse at lower right.

For some reason it was the half dollar, not the dollar, that was featured in 1986’s Prestige Proof Set. This special packaging of the commemorative piece alongside the regular proof coins from cent through half dollar did not always generate great sales, but it did so in 1986.

All three coin types in this program were extremely well received, with broad sales to both established collectors and the general public. As would become typical, the proof coins vastly outsold the uncirculated pieces. In later years this would make the lower-mintage uncirculated coins more desirable to those attempting to assemble complete sets, with top-grade examples being somewhat scarce and highly sought for registry sets. Though they didn’t receive the rough handling typical of circulating coins, the uncirculated half dollars, in particular, are sometimes marred by nicks and abrasions.

Vanilla Extract in Italy

Asked by beba1976. Answered on 27th February 2012

Full question

Dear Nigella, first of all congratulations for your books! I am Italian and have some of your books in Italian and also in English. I like the way you talk the reader through your recipes and I have tried some of them and always had great success with family & friends! However in Italy it is not possible to buy the vanilla extract that you usually use in your recipes; you can only find the chemical vanilla powder (called "VANILLINA") but it is really unhealthy and "depressing" to use! You can find vanilla pods but they are quite expensive that's why I'd like to know if you can suggest anywhere where I can buy a bottle of vanilla extract? Thank you very much and all the best from Italy! Debora

Our answer

Most bakers prefer to use a natural vanilla extract and there are several British companies that sell vanilla extract on-line (usually Dr Oetker or Nielsen-Massey brands) and will ship to Italy. We have given some links below as examples and you should find other suppliers on-line. It is also worth checking for vanilla extract on Amazon.

Although vanilla pods (vanilla beans) are expensive you can make them last longer by making your own vanilla sugar or vanilla extract. Split 3 vanilla pods lengthways and put them in a large jar then add 500g caster sugar (2 1/2 cups superfine sugar). Seal and leave in a cool, dry, dark place for a month then shake the jar and use the sugar in your baking recipes and top the sugar up each time that you use it. The sugar will be perfumed by the vanilla pods and the vanilla pods should last for a couple of years (or longer, depending on how frequently you use the sugar and the storage conditions).

For vanilla extract split 3 vanilla pods and put them in a clean jar then add 250ml (1 cup) vodka. Seal and leave in a cool, dark place for 2 months, giving the jar the occasional shake. The vodka will turn brown as the vanilla infuses into it. You can use this home-made vanilla extract in the same quantity as a store-bought one and the jar can be topped up with 125ml (1/2 cup) vodka once half of the home-made extract has been used (let it infuse again for a couple of weeks before using). You can add a little sugar to the extract if you like (as most commercial brands are slightly sweetened) though for most baking recipes this is unlikely to be necessary. However do be careful about using this extract for anyone who is not allowed to consume alcohol.

Thai Siam

1435 South State Street
Salt Lake City, UT 84115

(801) 474-3322

NileGuide Expert tip:

Try the carry-out for large portions in the comfort of your home!

Salt Lake City seems to have more Thai Restaurants than temples - and in this sea of competition, Thai Siam still managed to pull the "Best Thai" award from City Weekly five consecutive years, as well as many others such as "Best Pad Thai" and "Best Lunch Special" over the years. While some Thai joints in town focus on atmosphere or edgy cuisine, Thai Siam gathers crowds with its reliably tasty, traditional dishes served in large portions. Its dining room is pleasant, spacious, and simple, and its service quick and friendly. Located south of downtown, this gets much less crowding on busy nights and can provide a pleasant evening that you'd otherwise spend waiting in line.

Hawai`i Island National Parks Junior Ranger Adventure Book patch.

Aloha, E Na Kamalii (Hello, Kids)

Did you know that you can explore four national parks connected by one national historic trail?

Get out of the car, into the parks and on the trails with your families. Fun learning activities are available in Junior Ranger activity books. Your participation just depends on how much time you have.

One day or less: Each park has a Junior Ranger book. Families are encouraged to work together with their kids to complete the activities. Check with individual parks for hours of operations and amount of time needed to complete activities.

Two or more day: The Hawai`i Island National Parks Junior Ranger Adventure Book is geared for those who have more time to visit each side of the island. Driving to each park takes some time so plan that into your day. Ask for more details at the front desk of the park's visitor centers.

KIDS ON THE TRAIL: A recipe for stewardship

What is a good recipe for stewardship and conservation? Mix one part kids with many parts of nature, add in some fresh air, bake in the sunshine then blend vigorously with a few sprinkles of learning activities loaded with fun. Servings: limitless.

What to do during a one week school break? Fish camp.

How do you learn? Hands-on fun activities about ocean topics related to human use, fish anatomy, urchi gonad index, fish identification, reef survey and intertidal survey.

Na Kilo Aina, a fish camp held during October 2013 in Kawaihae along a portion of Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail, was hosted by Kailapa Community Association in partnership with University of Hawaii's Sea Grant program and many community partners. These local community fish camps in Hawaii are an initiative of and funded by Conservation International's Hawaii Fish Trust.

This program carries out National Park Service's Call to Action #16, Live and Learn: "Provide multiple ways for children to learn about the national parks and what they reveal about nature, the nation's history, and issues central to our civic life."

May Mussel Update

Subscribe RSS Icon | What is RSS
Date: May 10, 2013

 The National Park Service (NPS) has identified over 150 adult quagga mussels attached to moored vessels and dock structures at the Wahweap and Antelope Point Marinas in Lake Powell over the last month. The individual adult mussels were not close enough together to successfully reproduce. As mussels are found, they are physically removed from the lake.

Mark Anderson, Glen Canyon Ecologist indicated that although there has been an increase in the number of adult mussels detected, there are still no indications of a reproducing population. "It's likely that the mussels were introduced via ballast or bilge water from a boat(s) that was not cleaned, drained, or dried."

Boats, docks, and cables in the Wahweap Bay and Antelope Point areas will continue to be assessed by the NPS and other dive teams.

Superintendent Todd Brindle remains hopeful that these latest results are not evidence of an established population of mussels. "With this early detection, the mussels are being physically removed from the lake, decreasing the potential for them to reproduce," said Brindle.

"Prevention is still the most effective way to fight invasive species, so we will continue the boat inspections that are currently in place," said Anderson. "Everyone needs to continue to clean, drain, and dry their boat and equipment after every use."

Additional monitoring information and updates are posted on the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area webpage at

City National Bank Building

The City National Bank Building, built in the 1880s, is a six-story masonry Richardsonian Romanesque Revival style building. The rusticated ashlar block façade with its heavy decorative elements, such as engaged grouped columns, sawtooth stone frieze, dentil rows, molded cornices and heavy projecting window arches, creates a highly sculptural wall surface that is a characteristic of the architectural style.

Alternating rows and groupings of arched and flat head windows, the slightly projecting piers and variously sized and textured stringcourses add to the façade's visual richness. The entry level consists of smooth-faced stone, a stepped-down basement entry, side entry door with large columns and balustrade parapet. Adjacent to the entrance three large display windows separate squared columns with scrolled corner brackets. Above the windows is a frieze panel displaying the block name “City National Bank.” The late 19th century saw many new banks in Canton. Before these new banks many financial institutions catered to specific immigrant populations, this “second wave” of banks served the broader public.This building is the only bank building of its era still standing in Canton’s 19-block commercial center.

By 1916, City National ranked fourth among Canton’s major banks with assets of $2.8 million. In 1923 the City National Bank was absorbed by another bank. The building has recently been rehabilitated; it currently houses the National First Ladies’ Library Education Resource Center and is open to the public for scheduled tours.

The City National Bank Building is located at 205 S. Market Ave., in Canton. The building is now the Education Resource Center for the National First Ladies’ Library. Tours are available Tuesday-Saturday, at 9:30am, 10:30am, 12:30pm, 1:30pm and 2:30pm, and in the summer on Sundays as well at 12:30pm, 1:30pm and 2:30pm; there is a fee.

Land Mammals

Terrestrial (land) mammals are those warm-blooded furry creatures that live on land. From tiny shrews to 1,200 pound (544 kg) Roosevelt elk, Redwood National and State Parks (RNSP) are home to a wide variety of terrestrial mammals. There are 66 known species of terrestrial mammals in Redwood National and State Parks, including 13 species of bats and one non-native species–the Virginia opossum. These mammals either reside in the parks year-round or, as in the case of bears and larger forest carnivores, occupy home ranges overlap park boundaries. Some terrestial mammals, particularly bats, reside in the parks only during the breeding season or during migration.

Most mammals are not easy to spot but....

Many of the small mammals within the parks are seldom seen. These animals are largely nocturnal (night-active) or fossorial (underground-active) and include forest-dwelling mice and woodrats, insectivores (shrews, shrew-moles, and moles), gophers, and the mountain beaver (not to be confused with “true” beavers). Although not often directly observed, the signs of these mammals are often evident. For example, two species, the Sonoma tree vole and Oregon red tree vole (members of the mouse family), build their nests on tree limbs of conifers, primarily Douglas-fir trees. These nests may appear somewhat globular and be fairly wide in diameter. They are constructed primarily of twigs clipped by the voles, and are used repeatedly among generations of tree voles and added to over time. These unique rodents feed on conifer needles, discarding the inedible resin duct portion of the needle. The discarded ducts may accumulate in small piles on the ground beneath the tree housing the nest(s), another sign you are in the vicinity of a tree vole.

When walking through the Bald Hills prairies or other coastal grasslands, you are likely to see sign of the California vole. These rodents build runway tunnels throughout the areas they inhabit, and may pile dirt at runway entrances. Although underground most of the time, they are active during the day and may be observed darting from one tunnel entrance to another.

The nocturnal dusky-footed woodrat is another seldom-seen rodent in the parks, but their large houses made of sticks and other debris may be observed on top of old tree stumps or at the bases of small trees. The dusky-footed woodrat is the proverbial “pack-rat”, so called due to its habit of carting any assortment of items, human-made or natural, into its nest.

Another group of mammals that delights park visitors and staff alike are the carnivores. Although these animals are uncommonly seen, it is possible to observe bobcats, mountain lions, coyotes, black bears, and some of the smaller mesocarnivores including fisher, gray fox, mink, and skunk within RNSP, in many different types of habitat. Look for river otters along creek gravel bars, ocean beaches and rocky coastlines. A telltale sign for the otter is scat, or feces, that tends to be loaded with the shells of crabs, crayfish, and other hard-shelled invertebrates.

The North American beaver may occasionally be observed in Redwood Creek and its tributaries. Beavers in parks build bank-lodges consisting of a burrow extending into the creek bank. As elsewhere throughout their range in North America, beavers build dams and may create small beaver ponds. Much to the consternation of road workers they also are known to pile sticks in culvert openings, thus, plugging the culvert. Dams and plugged culverts are sure signs that beavers are at work somewhere close by.

Roosevelt elk and black-tailed deer reside in the lowland coastal grasslands, redwood forests, and the Bald Hills prairies and oak woodlands. Chipmunks and tree squirrels also may be seen in park's forests and oak woodlands. These small rodents and large ungulates are the most commonly observed terrestrial mammals within Redwood National and State Parks.

News Story

Precious Hall receives Jeltz scholarship

2013 Jeltz scholarship awardNSU junior Precious Hall receives a Jeltz Scholarship Award from Jeltz Scholarship Foundation trustee Dr. James L. Mosley.

Office of Communications & Marketing | Northeastern State University
TAHLEQUAH, Okla. -- Established to help minority students pursue their dreams of higher education, the Jeltz Scholarship Foundation recently awarded a $900 scholarship to Precious Hall, a junior majoring in social work, during a meeting at the Center for Admissions and Student Enrollment at Northeastern State University.
Hall, of Tulsa, was presented the award by Dr. James L. Mosley, foundation trustee chairman, on May 3.
The Jeltz Foundation awards scholarships each spring and fall term to Oklahoma students. Hall is one of seven recipients for the spring semester, and she expressed gratitude to the foundation for her selection. She is considering pursuit of a master's degree after she graduates in 2014, and hopes to one day work in adoptions or medicine.
"I think I would most like to go into adoptions," she said. "Initially, I was interested in the home study part of the adoption process – checking homes and making sure they are fit for children. But after doing further research, I think I would like to help people find families."
A transfer student from Tulsa Community College, Hall anticipates straight A's in all her spring 2013 courses. She entered NSU in fall 2012 and is a resident of the Tahlequah campus.
"Living on campus has taken some adjustment," she said. "Some of your neighbors like to stay out late. It is a different environment, but sustainable and enjoyable. But when I am not there, I live at the library!"
Though he has delivered dozens of Jeltz scholarships, Mosley said he is always excited to meet the next recipient.
"In all my time as a Jeltz Scholarship Foundation trustee, I have not met a single student with whom Wyatt and Mattie Jeltz would not have been thrilled," Mosley said. "We rely on their applications when making our decisions, but I am always thoroughly impressed when I finally get to meet them."
The late Wyatt and Mattie Jeltz were African-American Oklahomans who dedicated their lives to education, employment opportunities and community service. The Jeltz Scholarship Foundation was endowed through assets they willed.
Jeltz scholarships provide assistance to minority students to pay for education expenses including tuition, fees and books. Recipients must be enrolled full time at a public Oklahoma institution, have accumulated at least 30 credit hours with a minimum 2.8 cumulative grade-point average, possess "good personal character" and demonstrate financial need.

Flu shots are available at Health Division offices in Pontiac and Southfield from noon - 8 p.m. Mondays and 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays. They cost $20. The Health Division offices are located at the following addresses:
  • North Oakland Health Center, 1200 N. Telegraph Road, Building 34 East, Pontiac

Coal price recovery key to Denniston operation

Beleaguered Bathurst Resources will have to bide its time and wait for global coking coal prices to strengthen before starting its proposed West Coast mining operation, then likely go back to shareholders for an injection of new equity.

Analysts are picking the price recovery could be 12 to 18 months away.

Bathurst has deferred starting up its contentious Denniston Plateau operation, having spent more than $300 million in readying itself, and will have to rely on cash flows from three small, existing South Island mines, Craigs Investment Partners broker Peter McIntyre said.

''I'm surprised at how brutal the market has been, selling down Bathurst's stock,'' Mr McIntyre said.

The stock was down more than 37.5% on Tuesday, and down a further 19% yesterday, to briefly touch a record low at 8.1c as investors got out.

He said Bathurst's decision to postpone increasing inaugural coal production from the Escarpment area of the plateau had been correct, given the uneconomic global price of the coal at $US120 per tonne, and also in order to preserve its cash in hand at less than $9 million.

''Investors can't expect that Bathurst will go ahead and dig out coal at a loss,'' he said.

Hard coking coal is a specialist ingredient in steel manufacturing, and Mr McIntyre noted that it was ''unusual'' that the recent ascent of the cost of iron ore per tonne had crossed, and was now above, the descending price of coking coal.

''Bathurst's immediate future depends on its [three] domestic operations.

''The question of equity means it will have to wait for prices to rise, then quickly come back to the market, which could be 12 to 18 months away,'' he said.

The three existing domestic mines are Cascade, adjacent to the Denniston Plateau, Takitimu in Southland and another near Christchurch.

The 3D Touch Developer Challenge is intended to create commercially-oriented applications that take advantage of the OpenHaptic toolkit and PHANTOM Omni haptic device, which add the dimension of touch and true 3D navigation to a wide variety of OpenGL API applications, from design to games and entertainment to simulation and visualization.  The OpenHaptics toolkit is patterned after the OpenGL API, making it familiar to graphics programmers and facilitating integration with new or existing OpenGL applications. The competition will begin on August 9, 2004 and will conclude with the submission of applications on December 31, 2004. Winners will be chosen by a panel of industry experts and will be announced in early 2005. A total of $22,500 in prize money will be awarded.

Over 70 Oregon school districts changed their anti-bullying policies last year to better protect students who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, but nearly one in three school districts still does not comply with state law, a new report has found.

With support from a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Public Health Law Research program awarded to the Oregon Public Health Division, the Oregon Safe Schools & Communities Coalition (OSSCC) in partnership with the Oregon Public Health Division, Q Center and OGALLA: The LGBT Bar Association of Oregon collected and examined school district policy information from nearly all of Oregon’s 197 school districts. School districts were evaluated based on how well the district policies complied with the amended Oregon Safe Schools Act. The state law, established in 2009 and amended in 2012, strengthened protections for students who are or are perceived to be lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender or are targeted because of their gender identity.

SafeSchoolsReport_2013_coverOSSCC is proud to share the following information about school district policies, and their compliancy ranking with Oregon’s Safe Schools Act, obtained from our research in 2013. OSSCC is willing to provide additional information from our working group team to any district or community member who wishes to learn more. Please contact us at info@oregonsafeschools.org.

Time-resolved laser-induced breakdown spectrometry has been combined with the long spark technique and applied to the rapid determination of beryllium in beryllium-copper alloys. A calibration curve was developed which related the beryllium concentration in a solid copper matrix to the Be(I) 234.9-nm to Cu(II) 235.7-nm intensity ratio. The beryllium concentrations ranged from 0.001 to 0.22%. For the lowest concentration the relative standard deviation of replicate samples was 7%, implying a detection limit of 0.0002% (2 ppm) at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. The excitation temperature was determined from Boltzmann plots on Cu(I) and Cu(II), assuming local thermodynamic equilibrium. The values from the two spectra agreed well, and averaged to 13,850 K at 1 μs into the plasma lifetime.
