AMES, Iowa ― Anyone who is involved with the rental market for Iowa farmland knows that rental rates have been pushed significantly higher by the favorable corn and soybean prices farmers have enjoyed since 2010. This trend continued in 2012.
Results from the most recent Iowa State University Extension and Outreach rental rate survey estimated the 2012 average cash rent for Iowa corn and soybean land at $252 per acre, an increase of $38 per acre or 18 percent from last year. "This is the largest one-year increase since the statewide survey was started in 1994," said William Edwards, ISU Extension economist. "Average rents were higher in all nine crop reporting districts, with increases ranging from $57 per acre in north central Iowa to $16 per acre in south central Iowa." The $57 per acre increase in the north central district represents a 26 percent increase; the south central $16 per acre increase, a 9 percent increase.
The 2012 increase tops the 2011 $30 per acre increase which now stands as the second largest increase recorded.
High quality land showed the largest increase in rents. Estimated rents for land in the high third of each county increased by an average of 20 percent, but estimated rents on low third quality row crop land increased by only 15 percent. "In many counties, respondents indicated that typical rents were $400 to $500 per acre or more for the higher quality land," Edwards said.
Typical rental rates for land growing oats and hay also were reported, as well as rental rates for grazing pasture and corn stalks. This year rental rates for allowing hunters on farmland also were included.
The intent of the Iowa State survey is to report typical rents in force, not the highest nor the lowest values heard through informal sources. Rental values were estimated by asking more than 3,000 people familiar with the land market what they thought typical rates were in their county. The number of responses received this year was 1,419. Of the total responses, 37 percent came from farmers, 28 percent from landowners, 16 percent from professional farm managers, 16 percent from lenders and 3 percent from other professionals.
The Cash Rental Rates for Iowa 2012 Survey is available online as a downloadable document; from the Ag Decision Maker website, http://www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm, and from the ISU Extension online store at https://store.extension.iastate.edu/.
Other resources available for estimating a fair cash rental rate include the Ag Decision Maker information files Computing a Cropland Cash Rental Rate (C2-20) and Flexible Farm Lease Agreements (C2-21). Both documents include decision file electronic worksheets to help analyze leasing questions.

Wayne Law's first Steiger Fellowship recipient reflects on path to law school, future in law
FEATURE RELEASE (Feb. 8, 2011) — Wayne State University Law School third-year student Paul Isso – Wayne Law's first student to receive the Janet D. Steiger Fellowship – has Warrior blood flowing through his veins. A native of West Bloomfield, Mich., Isso enrolled as a freshman at WSU in 2005 because of its journalism and political science programs. He also attended WSU because he knew he wanted to attend law school, and Wayne Law had a great reputation in the legal community.
"I knew Wayne Law was where I wanted to pursue a legal education," Isso said. "So I spent my undergraduate years studying and preparing for that experience, learning about what areas of law I wanted to study and about the Law School itself."
While an undergraduate student, Isso made the most of his time through his involvement with a number of student organizations – all the more impressive since he graduated with his four-year degree in just three years. He founded the university's Multicultural Law Student Association, an organization focused on the multiculturalism of students interested in the legal profession, was an active member of the Chaldean American Student Association and wrote for WSU's student newspaper, the South End. He also helped conduct law school tours at Wayne Law for then-prospective law students.
He earned a bachelor's degree in 2008 and was accepted to Wayne Law that same year.
"By that time I had worked as a television news anchor, producer and show host for a couple years at MBN TV, anchoring the International News segment as well as producing and hosting the television program, Your Political World," he said. "That experience, along with working as a reporter for a few additional publications, magnified my interest in news, government and the intersections between law, the media and entertainment industries. Wayne Law offered me a lot of options by way of courses in those areas."
Like any law student, Isso is very focused on his coursework. He also has continued his involvement in student organizations. He serves as an article editor on The Journal of Law in Society Board, as a governor-at-large on the Student Board of Governors, and as the social committee chairperson with the Wayne Law Sports and Entertainment Law Society.
"Being involved in these organizations at the law school level has provided me with practical skills useful for the practice of law," he said. "I also feel being involved in such organizations has sharpened my written and verbal communication skills."
According to Isso, he continues to make the most of his time in an effort to be a prepared and well-rounded attorney as he graduates from Wayne Law in May 2011.
His thoughtful planning, academic success and student involvement earned him a 2010 recognition entirely new to Wayne Law. Isso was one of only 20 recipients of the American Bar Association's prestigious 2010 Janet D. Steiger Fellowship, a national fellowship that provides recipients with $5,000 stipends to gain legal experience in state consumer protection departments over an eight-week period.
"The Steiger Fellowship provided me with an incredible opportunity to gain legal experience prior to graduation during the summer of 2010 with the State of Nevada," he said. "While there, I assisted with civil and criminal cases, summarized proposals of governing bodies, and assisted in the recommendation process. I also completed legal research projects, document review/identification, went to court with the state's attorneys, and participated in conference calls."
With his brimming resume and his time on WSU's campus fleeting, Isso feels both thankful and optimistic.
"I feel very prepared to begin practicing law upon graduation," he said. "I have experienced many great things and much success during my years at Wayne State University as an undergraduate and as a law student. I will always be a strong supporter of Wayne State University because it helped allow me achieve what I was aiming for – and much more. I don't think I would have had the same experience anywhere else. Go Warriors!"
Isso, who still writes for select publications, plans on practicing entertainment law or government law upon graduation.

I wonder if obama could change his own oil? Did he read a book on it? Will Rogers said "There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves." Kinda true, kinda funny, wonder which one obama is.
Plus, it's a fairly ironic argument to be made on a forum where EVERYone is learning about beekeeping by reading, then by doing.
I pretty much believe that the whole conservative vs liberal thingee is little more than name calling and most folks that routinely use such terms would have some difficulty in defining either term.
I think we just disagree on how to get there and exactly WHERE each of those things exist.
liberals think those things can be provided or secured through the government. conservatives think those things are secured through the individual effort.
I expect them to regulate when necessary so that my life is livable--so that I can afford to live, can afford basic health insurance, can afford to save for retirement, have decent roads to drive on.


text: Upon arrival, attendees enjoyed the smooth sounds of the Paseo High School Jazz Band Combo and the special talent of Alvin Ailey dancer Michele Cox. Participating partners provided information on each of their organization's role in Black History in the Kansas City area and keynote speaker, Michael Patton, provided valuable insight regarding Black History in the Kansas City area. The teachers enjoyed presentations by professional trainers Janice Fuld and and Amanda Granger from WNET, New York Public Media and received lesson plans and hands-on ideas of how to incorporate the series in the classroom. The KCPS Television students from Paseo High School covered the event.

Posted by Steve
As soon as Zack Greinke turned in an outstanding performance on Tuesday, he became the center of attention in baseball circles. He was the number one target and was sure to be dealt.
For two days, the Brewers' front office fielded calls from a handful of teams. In the end, it seems to have come down to Texas, Atlanta, and Los Angeles/Anaheim, with the White Sox high in interest but low in ammunition. Texas seemed to be the frontrunner, they have the best farm system of any interested team, and Mike Olt seemed like the target. Sure enough, we now know the Brewers targeted Olt but were rebuffed. In fact, the Rangers wouldn't even give up starting pitcher Martin Perez, according to Ken Rosenthal. After that, the took the deal from the Angels.
And a solid deal it was. A few weeks ago, I handicapped potential Greinke suitors. I ranked Texas number 1, but LAA number 3, and the first name I mentioned was Jean Segura. He was the Angels' top prospect and a logical target considering the Brewers' need for a shortstop.
In addition to Segura, the Brewers added AA pitchers John Hellweg and Ariel Pena, two power arms with good upside.
Segura was the Angels number 1 prospect and was rated #43 in baseball by Baseball America in their recent midseason rankings. By that count, that would mean BA now has him as the Brewers' number one prospect (Tyler Thornburg is the only other Brewer on the list at #48). He's only 22, and at 5'10 and 165 isn't quite Altuve in his stature but is still small. His ceiling is a leadoff hitter with solid power for a shortstop. The question is his defense, though it's not a huge one. He has a strong arm and decent range, but he doesn't project to be a defensive wiz like Jurickson Profar or somebody like that. Some scouts question whether he can stay at shortstop long term or will need to move to second, but for now there's no reason not to put him at short and give him a long leash. He'll start at AA Hunstville, but I'd be surprised if he was down there more than a few weeks. It's not like the Brewers have an above replacement-level shortstop holding him off.
Hellweg is an exciting player as well, though he's more of a boom-or-bust. He's a giant; is 6'9″ frame helps him generate a mid-to-upper 90s fastball. While his floor is lower than someone like Tyler Thornburg or Wily Peralta, his ceiling is likely the highest of any pitcher in the Brewers' system. He's a fine player to take a risk on as a secondary piece in a trade. He may be the key to this deal; if he develops into a top-of-the-rotation starter, the Brewers will have gotten a steal.
Pena has been a starting pitcher throughout his career, although it seems possible he could move to the bullpen. He was rated as having the best slider in the Angels' system.
Overall, I'm very pleased with this trade. Not over the moon thrilled like I probably would have been with a return of Mike Olt+ from Texas, but considering he wasn't available, I don't doubt this was the best return the Brewers could have gotten.
A small part of me was terrified Melvin would either go for an established player with only a couple years of team control left, or or a young major league pitcher with a limited ceiling for Greinke. He did neither. The Brewers control the rights of all of these players for their first six years in MLB, which is extremely valuable.
According to Baseball America's pre-2012 rankings, the Brewers got the Angels' number 1, 4, and 9 prospects–a great return for just two months of Greinke.
The Brewers traded Alcides Escobar, Jake Odorizzi, Lorenzo Cain and Jeremy Jeffress for Greinke. This package is behind that, but not by very much. Another way to look at it is the Brewers traded Escobar, Odorizzi, Cain, and Jeffress for 1.5 years of Greinke/a deep playoff run, Segura, Hellweg and Pena.
Not bad at all.

Rhode Island to leave 'Christmas' out of tree ceremony
The announcement on Tuesday that the state would hold a tree-lighting ceremony in Providence came just 24 hours after the governor's spokeswoman said the annual event had been scrubbed. Last year, protesters interrupted the ceremony with demands the conifer be officially referred to as a "Christmas tree."
Spokeswoman Christine Hunsinger blamed the confusion on a staff communication error and said there would in fact be a "holiday tree" lighting at an unspecified date.
"The governor has stated his position very clearly: He believes 'holiday' is more inclusive," she said. "It's in a building paid for by all Rhode Islanders."
Chafee's decision not to use the word Christmas in reference to the tree drew criticism from conservatives last year, including one state lawmaker who dubbed him "Governor Grinch." Some Christians see the trend towards "holiday" parties, cookies and trees as part of a secular drive to scrub the lexicon of references to Christmas.
The governor has argued that the term is consistent with the state's history of religious tolerance, and Hunsinger noted that Chafee's predecessor also used "holiday tree" on official invitations to the ceremonial lighting.
Rhode Island was founded as a 17th century haven for religious dissidents from England and neighboring Massachusetts. (Reporting by Jason McLure; Editing by Paul Thomasch and Ciro Scotti)

Why do we get stuck in "Groundhog Day therapy"—cases in which we spin our wheels from session to session? Before lurching on to alternative treatment strategies, the key to progress is recognizing the need to shift the therapist–client relationship.
Although you can't tell it from the cases that appear in publications and training videos, psychotherapy mostly involves talking to clients who like working with us, but find it hard to change. Eventually, rather than helping these clients navigate dramatic whitewater rapids, our main challenge becomes steering the clinical relationship out of the swamps and marshes where it can get stuck, sometimes for years.
Our long-term clients might have us banging our heads against the wall at times, screaming, "I can't believe you're making that self-destructive choice again! After all this time, haven't you heard a word I've said?" But mostly, they elicit far less dramatic reactions. They're cooperative, agreeable, and attached to us as therapists. They're open to our insights and suggestions, fill a regular time slot in our schedule, and pay their bills. So what's the problem? Nothing—except that not much goes on in sessions: no implosions or explosions, no breakthroughs or backslides, no itching to finish therapy and get on with life. It starts to feel like "till death (or retirement) us do part."
Often when we begin with these clients, our early work generates some movement and change, but then a kind of stagnation sets in. This is the case with my couple who's fully engaged in therapy sessions but "too busy" to try anything different at home, and the woman who uses sessions to recap the ins and outs of her week but never addresses any serious issues. Without much happening—with no real intensity or vitality—ease eventually turns to boredom, at least for the therapist. After months or years circling the same issues, we end up with what I call "Groundhog Day therapy," named after the early 1990s film in which a burned-out TV weatherman played by Bill Murray is doomed to live through the same day, with the same events, over and over again.
So why do therapists tend to get stuck in clinical relationships where we spend session after session spinning our wheels? One reason is that these sessions ensure a predictable, paying slot in our schedule. Another reason, however, is that we usually don't tell anyone about these cases. We reserve supervision or consultation for more compelling crises or direct conflicts in the clinical relationship. Groundhog Day cases, where no one is threatening divorce or suicide, lack the drama of standard consultation cases. We might worry that even our consultation groups will get bored of hearing about the same client who isn't particularly miserable, but isn't leading the life he or she wants, either.
Another reason we remain stuck with clients going nowhere in therapy is that most of us keep "progress notes" instead of tracking outcomes. I confess to this habit, especially when it came to a couple I'd been seeing for several years. When I looked through a year's worth of their session notes, more than half of them recorded some improvement from session to session. But when I stepped back and asked the couple to evaluate the progress of their overall relationship, they concurred with me that nothing much had shifted. In fact, a mentor once told me that two-thirds of the records he reviewed for mental health hospitals reported progress, even for patients who never got better overall. As therapists, we like to think we're making headway, and our clients want therapy to be worthwhile, but treatment sometimes shifts without our noticing it from change-oriented work that has an ending to long-term, maintenance-oriented work that doesn't have an end point.
So what do you do when you find yourself with a Groundhog Day case? The commonest mistake—one I've committed myself—is what I call "lurching," or making a sudden, unannounced shift in how you're approaching the client. One form of lurching is shifting abruptly from a therapeutic posture of empathic support to one of hard-nosed challenge. I've seen frustrated therapists who'd been oozing nurturance for months suddenly blurt out, "You have a choice: you can stay miserable, or you can get a divorce." These moves might temporarily shake the client up and reinvigorate the therapy relationship, but they usually end badly. Either the client forgives the unexpected rudeness and therapeutic homeostasis is restored, or the therapeutic relationship spirals downhill until the client fires us.

Fox Misrepresents Feinstein Remarks To Manufacture Break With House Democrats Over Susan Rice
Blog ››› ››› REMINGTON SHEPARD
Fox misrepresented recent remarks by Senate Intelligence Committee chairwoman Dianne Feinstein to suggest that she is undermining Democrats' attempts to rebut charges that U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice is unfit to be Secretary of State. In fact, Feinstein has strongly defended Rice, saying that the attack on Rice "has to stop."
The attacks on Rice stem from her appearance on Sunday morning political shows on September 16 to describe what the administration had learned about the attacks on a diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya. Since then, Fox and congressional Republicans have sought to scandalize Susan Rice's appearance in those interviews and use them as ammunition in a campaign to prevent her from being nominated as secretary of state. But David Petraeus, who was CIA director at the time of the Benghazi attack, has reportedly testified that Rice's comments were based on unclassified talking points provided by the intelligence community that Petraeus himself approved.
Rice's opponents have disingenuously seized on the fact that language in the talking points Rice used originally pointed to Al Qaeda affiliates as the perpetrators of the attack, but the language was changed to refer more generally to "extremists."
During the November 20 edition of Fox & Friends First, correspondent Doug McKelway reported on the attacks on Rice and claimed: "The fallout from the scandal is now dimming Ambassador Rice's prospect for the job of secretary of state." McKelway then reported that House Republicans had sent a letter opposing Rice and added: "Congressional Democrats' defense of the White House in this matter is partly being weakened also by the powerful chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, a Democrat, who has vowed to find out who specifically took the Al Qaeda language out of the CIA talking points."
Feinstein said she would hold hearings on the Benghazi talking points during a November 18 Meet the Press appearance. But during the same appearance, Feinstein strongly defended Rice, saying she had reviewed all of Rice's comments on the Sunday shows and did not understand why Rice "was being pilloried" for her comments:
FEINSTEIN: What has concerned me about this is really the politicization of a public statement that was put out by the entire intelligence committee, which Susan Rice on the 16th, who was asked to go before the people and use that statement, did. I have read every one of the five interviews she did that day. She was within the context of that statement. And for this, she has been pilloried for two months. I don't understand it. It has to stop. If it continues, it's going to set up once again a partisan divide in these -- the House and the Senate, which Congressman Rogers and I have tried to overcome and have overcome with some success with respect to the intelligence committees.
Fox previously cherry picked comments made by Feinstein's during her recent Meet the Press appearance, to make it seem as though she was going to investigate whether the White House had nefariously edited intelligence community talking points regarding the attack on the U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi.

A new plugin allows Siri to make language translations for you!
Do you remember yesterday's introduction for AssistantExtensions? It's arguably the most useful tweak every designed for Siri and probably will continue to be the most useful tweak ever designed for Siri for the upcoming future because it lets developers use its framework to build extensions for Siri so that Siri can do more stuff than it already can! Long enough sentence? Whew. Now let's try translating it to another language. Wait; you mean typing that all out again? No; let's use Siri instead!
With a new plugin that was released dubbed Lingual by iOS development team CodeThemed, (Mazalthan - Design, and TheNickF - Development) you can make Siri translate whatever you want her to translate, into several different languages. The developer states that it supports over thirty different languages. Moreover, there are no icons added to the home screen and there are no settings to configure for this plugin. You install it, respring, and suddenly Siri now understands how to translate languages. I bet none of you have ever learned thirty or more languages that fast; have you? Siri, you sure are amazing.
To use Lingual, you need to have a phrase or word that you want to translate. After you have figured out what you want to translate, you begin launching Siri and talking to her, "Siri, translate insert content here to insert language here." Or, you can say, "Siri, what is insert content here in insert language here?" Once you ask Siri how to say something in another language, such as 'hello how are you?' in Spanish (as shown in the screenshot above), Siri will cleverly show you the output that you were asking for. The interface looks nice too.
Lingual supports all of the following languages:
- Arabic
- Chinese (simplified + traditional)
- Czech
- Danish
- German
- Estonian
- Finnish
- French
- Dutch
- Greek
- Hebrew
- Haitian
- Hungarian
- Indonesian
- Italian
- Japanese
- Korean
- Lithuanian
- Latvian
- Norwegian
- Polish
- Portuguese
- Romanian
- Spanish
- Russian
- Slovak
- Slovene
- Swedish
- Thai
- Turkish
- Ukrainian
- Vietnamese
Please note that installing Lingual does use AssistantExtensions as a dependency. So it must be installed, or else it will be installed when you attempt to install Lingual. Another thing is that you must be running an iOS 5 device to Siri because you are either using the legitimate Siri on an iPhone 4S or you are using some kind of port which is only compatible with iOS 5. Lingual does work with Siri ports. I think that this plugin is a great addition to the family of Siri plugins which were introduced yesterday such as searching YouTube for specific title words and having intimate conversations with Siri. I highly recommend this to any jailbroken Siri users. Grab it while it's hot!
Name: Lingual
Price: FREE
Version: 1.0
Repo: BigBoss
Developer: CodeThemed
Editor's Rating: 5/5

"I couldn't be happier with this invitation! The card stock is of nice quality and the printing turned out great. I love how colorful it is! Even the back of the card is super cute too. Perfect for my son's first birthday!"
"I turned this design into a thank you card for my daughter's 1st birthday. She happens to really enjoy cars. Super cute and colorful!"
"This card is perfect for my little Thomas the Train obsessed son and his third birthday party. Be sure to review your card before you order because I erased the "3" in the middle of the red dot on the train and didn't realize it until it was too late. But otherwise it is an absolutely adorable card."
"My son is turning three. This card came out so adorable I can't even tell you. The pictures I used front and back are exactly how I wanted them and it blends perfectly with the card design. I'm super happy and love this beautiful keepsake for his baby book too (yes- I save a birthday invite and holiday card every year). Love this invite!"
"What a beautiful design - my son loved the fire truck with his picture - quality of the print was, as always, amazing. Would have been nice to have a little more space for text, and maybe some other color options as some didnt look nice on the blue background, but in the grand scheme of it all, those are minor points. options to personlized with picture and edging was great. Most importantly, this design came with mutliple other products - thank you cards, to/from stickers etc... which i always love as it seamlessly pulls a theme together (nothing worse than having different invites, thank you cards, stickers etc...) Delivery was very quick, a little expensive to Europe, but nevertheless the quality was worth it."

Due Process Before Discharge or the Imposition of Serious Sanctions
The UNC Policy Manual
Chapter 100.1 - The Code
Section 603
(1) A faculty member who is the beneficiary of institutional guarantees of tenure shall enjoy protection against unjust and arbitrary application of disciplinary penalties. During the period of such guarantees the faculty member may be discharged from employment, suspended, or demoted in rank for reasons of:
(a) incompetence, including significant, sustained unsatisfactory performance after the faculty member has been given an opportunity to remedy such performance and fails to do so within a reasonable time;
(b) neglect of duty, including sustained failure to meet assigned classes or to perform other significant faculty professional obligations; or
(c) misconduct of such a nature as to indicate that the individual is unfit to continue as a member of the faculty, including violations of professional ethics, mistreatment of students or other employees, research misconduct, financial fraud, criminal, or other illegal, inappropriate or unethical conduct. To justify serious disciplinary action, such misconduct should be either (i) sufficiently related to a faculty member's academic responsibilities as to disqualify the individual from effective performance of university duties, or (ii) sufficiently serious as to adversely reflect on the individual's honesty, trustworthiness or fitness to be a faculty member.
These sanctions may be imposed only in accordance with the procedures prescribed in this section. For purposes of this Code, a faculty member serving a stated term shall be regarded as having tenure until the end of that term. These procedures shall not apply to nonreappointment (Section 604) or termination of employment (Section 605).
(2) The chief academic officer of the institution, however titled, shall send the faculty member a written notice of intention to discharge the faculty member or impose a serious sanction together with a written specification of the reasons. The notice and specification of reasons shall be sent by a method of mail or delivery that requires a signature for delivery. The statement shall include notice of the faculty member's right, upon request, to a hearing by an elected standing faculty committee on hearings.
(3) If, within 14 calendar days after receiving the notice and written specifications referred to in paragraph (2) above, the faculty member makes no written request for a hearing, the faculty member may be discharged or serious sanction imposed without recourse to any institutional grievance or appellate procedure.[11]
(4) Repealed.
(5) If the faculty member makes a timely written request for a hearing, the chancellor shall ensure a process is in place so that the hearing is timely accorded before an elected standing committee of the institution's faculty. The hearing shall be on the written specification of reasons for the intended discharge or imposition of a serious sanction. The hearing committee shall accord the faculty member 30 calendar days from the time it receives the faculty member's written request for a hearing to prepare a defense. The hearing committee may, upon the faculty member's written request and for good cause, extend this time by written notice to the faculty member. The hearing committee will ordinarily endeavor to complete the hearing within 90 calendar days except under unusual circumstances such as when a hearing request is received during official university breaks and holidays and despite reasonable efforts the hearing committee cannot be assembled.[12]
(6) The hearing shall be closed to the public unless the faculty member and the hearing committee agree that it may be open. The faculty member shall have the right to counsel, to present the testimony of witnesses and other evidence, to confront and cross-examine adverse witnesses, to examine all documents and other adverse demonstrative evidence, and to make argument. A written transcript of all proceedings shall be kept; upon request, a copy thereof shall be furnished to the faculty member at the institution's expense.
(7) The chief academic officer, or designee, and/or counsel, may participate in the hearing to present testimony of witnesses and other evidence, to cross-examine witnesses, to examine all documents and other evidence, and to make argument.
(8) In reaching decisions on which its written recommendations to the chancellor shall be based, the committee shall consider only the evidence presented at the hearing and such written or oral arguments as the committee, in its discretion, may allow. The university has the burden of proof. In evaluating the evidence, the committee shall use the standard of "clear and convincing" evidence in determining whether the institution has met its burden of showing that permissible grounds for serious sanction exist and are the basis for the recommended action. The committee shall make its written recommendations to the chancellor within 14 calendar days after its hearing concludes or after the full transcript is received, whichever is later.
(9) If the chancellor concurs in a recommendation of the committee that is favorable to the faculty member, the chancellor's decision shall be final. If the chancellor either declines to accept a committee recommendation that is favorable to the faculty member or concurs in a committee recommendation that is unfavorable to the faculty member, the faculty member may appeal the chancellor's decision to the board of trustees. This appeal shall be transmitted through the chancellor and be addressed to the chair of the board. Notice of appeal shall be filed within 14 calendar days after the faculty member receives the chancellor's decision. The appeal to the board of trustees shall be decided by the full board of trustees. However, the board may delegate the duty of conducting a hearing to a standing or ad hoc committee of at least three members. The board of trustees, or its committee, shall consider the appeal on the written transcript of hearings held by the faculty hearing committee, but it may, in its discretion, hear such other evidence as it deems necessary. The board of trustees' decision shall be made as soon as reasonably possible after the chancellor has received the faculty member's request for an appeal to the trustees. This decision shall be final except that the faculty member may, within 14 calendar days after receiving the trustees' decision, file a written notice of appeal, by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by another means that provides proof of delivery, with the Board of Governors if the faculty member alleges that one or more specified provisions of the Code of the University of North Carolina have been violated. Any such appeal to the Board of Governors shall be transmitted through the president.
(10) When a faculty member has been notified of the institution's intention to discharge the faculty member, the chancellor may reassign the individual to other duties or suspend the individual at any time until a final decision concerning discharge has been reached by the procedures prescribed herein. Suspension shall be exceptional and shall be with full pay.
[11]In computing any period of time, the day in which notice is received is not counted but the last day of the period being computed is to be counted.
[12]To meet this deadline, faculty are encouraged to consider scheduling hearings during the evening, weekend, or other non-class time. It is strongly recommended that several days and times be established for the hearing when scheduling the first day, for the eventuality that they hearing may take two or more sessions.

The Wright State baseball team rallied back from a 4-1 deficit to tie the game, only to see Youngstown State score three in the eighth in recording a 7-4 win in the series finale Saturday afternoon at Nischwitz Stadium.
Kieston Greene gave WSU a quick 1-0 lead in the first with a leadoff home run to left, his fourth of the season, and it stayed that way until the Penguins tied it in the fourth on a solo home run from Marcus Heath.
Heath struck again with a three-run shot to left in the sixth to make it 4-1, only to see the Raiders come back and tie it with two in the sixth and one in the seventh. Garrett Gray hit his third home run of the year, a solo blast to left and Michael Timm followed later in the sixth with a RBI single. In the seventh, Greene hit a sacrifice fly to plate Beau Phillips, who had reached on an error.
Youngstown State, however, took advantage of three hit-by-pitches and an error in scoring the decisive three runs in the eighth.

I am modeling Iron Man for a Pepakura costume. It is still W.I.P. so there are some things that are not movie accurate, but I hope to get it fixed soon.
I have been having some trouble getting the open edges within the mesh closed up, so if anyone knows how to do this in Milkshape 3d, please let me know.
Here's a progression of what I have done.
Get the file Here!
First try: no reference pics, jaw is funky and overall shape is off.
Get the update Here!
Second attempt: Reference pics used, but model is "chunky" lots of bondo needed here.
Get the update Here!
Third attempt: I basically just cleaned up the second one, now the top/back of the head are much smoother.
The files are .obj and can be opened in Pepakura Designer or any 3d modeling program.
I will be cleaning this up a bit more and adding the indentations in the back, and then moving on to the chest and shoulders.
Give me some criticism, I have been staring at this model too long to know what else I have done wrong.

Tracy Webster
Tracy Webster has spent two seasons on staff at Tennessee alongside head coach Cuonzo Martin. Webster, a native of Harvey, Ill., boasts 10 seasons of high-major Division I coaching experience, with four NCAA Tournament berths and one Final Four appearance to his credit.
Webster was promoted to associate head coach on July 3, 2012.
Martin and Webster have known one another since their days as hardwood rivals and All-Big Ten selections at Purdue and Wisconsin, respectively, in the early 1990s. And in September 2009, HoopScoopOnline.com ranked Webster as one of the top 50 assistant coaches in the nation.
"Coach Webster has experience coaching in the SEC, Big Ten and Big East," Martin said. "He's really the total package. From recruiting, to player development, to scouting, he is extremely well-rounded. He's made a big impact with our perimeter guys in terms of skill development, shot selection and decision-making."
Point guard Trae Golden led the Vols in scoring (13.6 ppg) as a sophomore in 2012-13, and his 4.5 assists per game ranked fourth in the SEC. He also shot .439 from the field and was the SEC's top free-throw shooter (.903 in league games). ESPN.com's Jason King tabbed Golden as the SEC's Most Improved Player that season.
As a junior, Golden improved to third in the SEC in assists while cutting down his turnovers by 36 percent. In his two seasons working with Webster, Golden posted a 1.71 assist/turnover ratio and averages 12.9 points per game.
Shooting guard Jordan McRae, who blossomed into an SEC Player of the Year candidate in 2013, has improved his scoring, rebounding and assists averages - as well as his field-goal, 3-point and free-throw shooting percentages every year since Webster's arrival.
"Coach Webster was a great point guard," Martin said. "He has a great understanding and a great feel for how to play the game. He's a great teacher for our guards, because he was a really complete basketball player and he has a great mind for the game."
In addition to player development, Webster also has showcased his game-planning prowess at Tennessee, scouting the Vols to victories over defending national champion UConn in 2012 and eventual Elite Eight participant Florida in 2013.
Prior to Webster's arrival on Rocky Top, he spent the 2010-11 season as an assistant at Nebraska. That was immediately preceded by one year at DePaul, during which he was elevated to the position of interim head coach in mid-January.
Upon his hiring at Tennessee, Webster was no stranger to the Southeastern Conference, having spent two seasons as an assistant on Billy Gillispie's staff at Kentucky. The Wildcats earned postseason bids each year, appearing in the NCAA Tournament in 2008 and reaching the NIT quarterfinals in 2009.
Webster's first foray into college coaching came at Division III Wisconsin-Parkside in 1998-99. He spent one year there before eventually moving on to Ball State, which advanced to the NIT quarterfinals during his second season on the bench in Muncie, Ind.
Gene Keady then summoned Webster for an assistant coaching position at Purdue, where Martin also was on staff. That 2003-04 Boilermakers squad also reached the NIT, giving Webster the second postseason run of his young coaching career.
Postseason success became the norm for Webster during his time as an assistant coach in the Big Ten. He spent three seasons on Bruce Weber's staff at Illinois (2005-07), helping to lead the Fighting Illini to three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances. The 2005 squad posted an incredible 37-2 record (tying the NCAA record for wins in a season), advanced to the Final Four and finished as the national runner-up.
That 2005 Illinois team featured five eventual NBA players in James Augustine, Dee Brown, Luther Head, Roger Powell and Olympic gold-medal-winner and perennial All-Star Deron Williams.
After twice earning All-State honors as a point guard at Thornton High School in Harvey, Ill. -- a career that led to the Chicago Sun-Times naming him the sixth-best point guard in Chicago prep history in 1992 -- Webster starred at Wisconsin under head coaches Steve Yoder and Stu Jackson from (1991-94).
Webster lettered three years for the Badgers and finished his career with 1,264 points and a school-record 501 assists. He was a three-time All-Big Ten selection, including first-team accolades in 1993 when he set Wisconsin's single-season assists record with 179. In 1992, he set the school record for 3-point percentage, shooting .490 percent from beyond the arc.
After his collegiate playing career, Webster served as the coordinator of community outreach programs at Wisconsin from 1994-97 before joining the coaching ranks as the freshman head coach and assistant varsity coach at Verona Area High School in Verona, Wis., from 1997-98.
Webster spent 1999-2000 as the director of Webster Extramural Basketball Productions and as a care coordinator at Willowglen Academy in Milwaukee, Wis.
He joined Martin's Tennessee staff on April 5, 2011.
He earned his bachelor's degree from Wisconsin in 1995 and is married to the former Shenetta Richardson.

'"We got us a good start, got our lines going pretty early and our goalie made some big saves at the start of the game, kept us in there," said Pominville. "I thought overall, coming off a break we played pretty well, and that's the way we've got to play if we want to win games."'

The Art Book is a special series of lessons from Maryanne Messier, a teacher from Janesville Wisconsin. "This Art Book theme was created to help art educators by giving them another form of assessment. So many times we as art educators find it difficult to assess a child's progress when projects are sent home. By using portfolio assessment it is easier to judge a child's progress because you can see it from beginning to end. The idea of the art book came from a colleague of mine, Mary Jo Paup. She developed the "book" idea while working towards her masters. When she told me about the idea I decided to use it with my kindergartners. I used the Janesville School District's Art Curriculum as a basis for each project page. It was a challenge but well worth it. The beauty of portfolio assessment is that it starts in kindergarten and can follow them through their elementary career. As the child grows so do the books and the lessons. If you decide to use this form of assessment in your class, I hope your class enjoys these lessons as much as mine did. -Maryanne MessierART BOOK COVER K-2

ExxonMobil CEO Defends Manmade Global Warming, Says Humans are Able to Adapt

Rex Tillerson, ExxonMobil CEO
He also addressed fears associated with drilling techniques and oil dependency
ExxonMobil's CEO defended oil and gas drilling by saying that
climate change
is something humans can adapt to.
Rex Tillerson, ExxonMobil CEO, said issues like climate change, energy dependence and oil/gas drilling are blown out of proportion. He blames a lazy press, illiterate public and fear-mongering advocacy groups for the bad light placed on the oil industry.
Climate change is a controversial topic that has been subjected to much debate. Tillerson said that fossil fuels may cause global warming, but argued that humans can easily adapt to the warmer climate. More specifically, he said that humans can adapt to rising sea levels and climate changes because he doubts the validity of climate modeling, which predicts the magnitude of impact associated with climate change.
"We have spent our entire existence adapting," said Tillerson. "We'll adapt. It's an engineering problem and there will be an engineering solution."
Others, however, disagree with Tillerson's assessment. Andrew Weaver, chairman of climate modeling and analysis at Canada's University of Victoria, said that adapting to climate change would be much harder than just preventing it in the first place.
In addition, adapting to climate change could be much more expensive than preventing it. According to Steve Coll, author of "Private Empire: ExxonMobil and American Power," adapting to climate change would require moving entire cities. A better alternative would be legislation that slows the process of global warming.
An example of such a measure is the
proposed fuel standards for 2017-2025
, which will require automakers to create vehicles capable of 54.5 MPG by 2025.
The effort aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lessen the country's dependency on foreign oil.
These standards will cost the auto industry $157.3 billion and
add an extra $2,000
to the sticker price of new autos, but it will save consumers $1.7 trillion at the gas pump.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) will finalize the fuel efficiency standards
by the end of July 2012
Such measures could hit ExxonMobil's wallet with less gas used.
Tillerson also addressed the topic of consequences related to oil/gas drilling techniques, saying that drilling will always present possible risks like spills and accidents. But he mentioned that such risks are manageable and worth the end result, which is the energy provided.
Tillerson also said that drilling in shale formations doesn't pose life-threatening risks to those living nearby. However, drilling mixes millions of gallons of water with sand and chemicals that creates drilling wastewater. If this water is not treated, it can contaminate drinking water through cracked drilling pipes.
Tillerson also mentioned his problem with views on oil dependency. He said that there will always be access to oil, and that it doesn't matter where the U.S. gets oil because it is priced globally. Tillerson added that the U.S. only receiving oil from North America would still increase gas prices in the U.S. because it would cause a "disruption" in the Middle East.

text: Nedith found RWU's architecture program during her junior year in high school, and knew RWU was the place for her. She loved the idea of a program that combined both technical and artistic sides of architecture to offer a holistic education. Nedith put her combination of skills to good use when she studied in Florence, Italy. Lest you think that studying abroad means sitting in classrooms in another country, Nedith and her classmates took a bicycle tour with one of their professors to experience the architectural design of the suburbs and countryside surrounding Florence, lived near the world-famous Duomo, participated in a week-long design charrette and took tours of local villas and gardens. Nedith received a global education at RWU.
