These application guidelines provide all of the information that you need to submit an application. Your application will consist of a combination of material that you obtain from Grants.gov (certain forms) and our website (additional forms and other items you must submit). We urge you to read these instructions in their entirety before you begin the application process. If you wish to print a copy, see "Printing Tips." You also may want to keep these instructions open in a window in your computer as they contain helpful links to information that you will need as you complete your application. In addition to these instructions, you should periodically check the Grants.gov blog or the Grants.gov homepage for tips, updates, and alerts.
The application deadline for the Challenge America Fast-Track category is May 24, 2012. The Grants.gov system must receive your validated and accepted application no later than 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on the deadline date. If you are unable to submit your application electronically, you may request a waiver. A waiver will be granted for the following reasons only:
Your waiver request must be in writing and must be received (not postmarked) at the Arts Endowment at least three weeks before the application deadline. Click here for more information on waivers. Register or Renew/Verify Registration with Grants.gov [Back to Top]NOTE: Grants.gov has implemented new security requirements for the use of the Grants.gov system. Among the changes, applicants are now required to change their passwords every 90 days. See www.grants.gov for more details. It is your organization's responsibility to create and maintain a regularly updated registration with Grants.gov. This includes registration with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR), where your organization's information must be renewed annually. Finalize a new or renew an existing registration at least two weeks before the application deadline. This should allow you time to resolve any issues that may arise with Grants.gov or CCR. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in your inability to submit your application. If your organization is not yet registered, go to Grants.gov's Get Registered. Allow a minimum of two weeks for this multi-step, one-time process. If your organization already has registered, renew your registration with CCR and verify that your registration with Grants.gov is current. If you have problems with registration:
Maintain documentation (with dates) of your efforts to register or renew at least two weeks before the deadline. You do not need to complete the registration process to download the application package and begin to prepare your material (see below). However, you will need your Grants.gov Username and Password that you obtain during the registration process to submit your application.
A complete application consists of:
NOTE: All asterisked (*) items and yellow fields on this form are required and must be completed before you will be able to submit the form. Do not type in all capital letters when completing the form. Enter information directly into the form. Do not copy from an old application package or another document and paste into the form.
1. Name of Federal Agency: Pre-populated.
2. Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Number: Pre-populated.
3. Date Received: This will be filled automatically with the date that you submit your application; leave blank.
4. Funding Opportunity Number: Pre-populated.
5. Applicant Information:
a. Legal Name: The name provided here must be the applicant's legal name as it appears in the current IRS 501(c)(3) status letter or in the official document that identifies the organization as a unit of state or local government, or as a federally recognized tribal community or tribe. (Do not use your organization's popular name, if different.)
If you are a parent organization that is applying on behalf of an eligible component, do not list the name of the component here. You will be asked for that information later.
b. Address:
Use Street 1 for your street address or post office box number, whichever is used for your U.S. Postal Service mailing address. Street 2 is not a required field and should be used only when a Suite or Room Number or other similar information is a necessary part of your address. Do not use Street 2 to give a second address for your organization.
In the Zip/Postal Code box, organizations in the United States should enter the full 9-digit zip code that was assigned by the U.S. Postal Service. If you do not know your full zip code, you may look it up at www.usps.com/zip4/.
d. Type of Applicant: Select the item that best characterizes your organization from the menu in the first drop down box. Additional choices are optional.
e. Employer/Taxpayer Identification Number (EIN/TIN): Enter the 9-digit number that was assigned by the Internal Revenue Service; do not use a Social Security Number.
f. Organizational DUNS: All organizational applicants for federal funds must have a DUNS number, which is recognized as the universal standard for identifying organizations worldwide. The number that you enter here must agree with the number (either 9 or 13 digits) that you used with the CCR (Central Contractor Registration) as part of the Grants.gov registration. Otherwise, your application will not be validated by Grants.gov and will be rejected.
g. Congressional District: Enter the number of the Congressional District where the applicant organization is located. Use the following format: 2 character State Abbreviation-3 character District Number. For example, if your organization is located in the 5th Congressional District of California, enter "CA-005." If your state has a single At-Large Representative or your territory has a single Delegate, enter your 2 character state/territory abbreviation and "-000." If you need help determining your district, go to www.house.gov and use the "Find Your Representative" tool.
6. Project Information:
a. Project Title: Provide a brief descriptive title for your proposed project.
b. Project Description: In two or three brief sentences, clearly describe your specific project, not your organization. Begin the first sentence with "To support" and include the name of the project. Follow this with up to two more sentences that describe the type of project, the target population that will be served, and where the project will take place. For examples, see Recent Grants.
c. Proposed Project Start Date/End Date: Enter the beginning and ending dates for your requested period of support, i.e., the span of time necessary to plan, execute, and close out your proposed project. The start date should be the first day of the month, and the end date should be the last day of the month. The Arts Endowment's support of a project may start on January 1, 2013, or any time thereafter. While a period of support of up to two years is allowed, we anticipate that most Challenge America Fast-Track projects -- including planning and closeout time -- will be substantially shorter.
7. Project Director:
Provide the requested information for the Project Director. Select a Prefix (e.g., Ms., Mr.) even though this is not a required field.
Provide contact information, including an e-mail address, that will be valid through the announcement date for your category.
8. Primary Contact/Grant Administrator:
Provide the requested information for the individual who should be contacted on all matters involving this application and the administration of any grant that may be awarded. For colleges and universities, this person is often a Sponsored Research, Sponsored Programs, or Contracts and Grants Officer. Select a Prefix even though this is not a required field.
In some organizations, particularly smaller ones, this individual may be the same as the Project Director. If this is the case, you may check the "Same as Project Director" box and not repeat information that you have already provided in Item 7. (If the Primary Contact/Grant Administrator is the same as the Authorizing Official, please complete all items under both 8 and 9 even though there will be some repetition.)
9. Authorized Representative:
Enter the requested information for the AOR (Authorized Organization Representative) who will be submitting this application to Grants.gov. Select a Prefix even though this is not a required field. The AOR must have the legal authority to obligate your organization. By clicking the "I Agree" box at the top of Item 9, this individual will be certifying compliance with relevant federal requirements on your organization's behalf. (These requirements can be found in the "Assurance of Compliance" section of these guidelines.) The "Signature of Authorized Representative" and "Date Signed" boxes will be populated by Grants.gov upon submission of the application.
NOTE: All asterisked (*) items and yellow fields on this form are required and must be completed before you will be able to submit the form. Do not type in all capital letters when completing the form. Enter information directly into the form. Do not copy from an old application package or another document and paste into the form.
This form collects information about the primary site, as well as additional sites, where project activity will take place. In most -- but not all -- cases, the primary site will be the address of the applicant organization. If a portion of the project will be performed at any other site(s), identify the site location(s) in the additional block(s) provided. Use up to 29 additional blocks as required (one for each site). Your responses will not be a factor in the review of your application.
For the Organization Name:
Enter the name of the organization where the activity will take place. This may be the applicant organization or another organization. The remaining fields in a block (e.g., DUNS number) are associated with the organization where the activity will take place.
For the Project/Performance Site Congressional District:
Use the following format: 2 character State Abbreviation-3 character District Number. For example, if the organization is located in the 5th Congressional District of California, enter "CA-005." If the project directly impacts all districts in a state, enter "all" for the district number. For example: "MD-all" for all Congressional districts in Maryland. If nationwide (all districts in all states), enter "US-all." If the state has a single At-Large Representative or the territory has a single Delegate, enter your 2 character state/territory abbreviation and "-000." If the project is outside the U.S., enter "00-000." If you need help determining a district, go to www.house.gov and use the "Find Your Representative" tool.
NOTE: All asterisked (*) items and yellow fields on this form are required and must be completed before you will be able to submit the form. Do not type in all capital letters when completing the form. Enter information directly into the form. Do not copy from an old application package or another document and paste into the form.
See the instructions below for the following items (other instructions are provided on the form itself).
Part 1. Applicant
For this application, the applicant is serving as: If you are a parent organization that is applying on behalf of an eligible separate component, choose the "Parent of a Component" box from the drop-down menu and enter the name of the component in the space provided. Otherwise, choose "Not Applicable." Refer to "Application Limits" for definitions.
Part 2. Project
Project Field/Discipline: Choose the one discipline that is most relevant to your project. This selection will aid the Arts Endowment's application review. If you have questions, contact the Challenge America staff.
Choose your field/discipline carefully. In limited cases, Arts Endowment staff may transfer an application to a field/discipline other than the one that was selected by the applicant to ensure appropriate panel review.
Category: Choose the Challenge America Fast-Track project type that is relevant.
Intended Outcome: If you choose the guest artist, public art, or unified promotion project types, select "F: Engagement: Americans Throughout the Nation Experience Art" as your primary outcome. If you choose the design activities project type, select "H: Livability: American Communities are Strengthened Through the Arts" as your primary outcome.
You may also select a secondary outcome if a significant portion of your project is aligned with a second NEA outcome.
Project Budget Summary: The dollar amounts entered in these fields must agree with the corresponding dollar amounts on your Project Budget Form (Attachment 4).
The "Attachments Form" is not a form in the conventional sense. Rather, it is a place to attach documents that you have completed and saved elsewhere on your computer.
Several important points:
Attachment 4 is a fillable form; you will find a link to it. This form can be filled in, saved to your computer, and attached without the need for special software or conversion to PDF.
These non-form documents can be created using any word processing software. When you have completed the document, save it to your computer and convert it to PDF before attaching. If you don't already have software to convert files to PDF, there are many low-cost and free software packages that can do this. To learn more, go to PDF Conversion Programs.
Please make sure to convert your documents into PDF format in line with the guidance above. Do not create PDFs of your electronic documents by scanning. In the past, some applicants have printed their electronic documents and then scanned them, saving the scan in PDF format. PDFs created this way are much larger, and of lower quality, than PDFs created by the methods we recommend. Do not embed non-printable media files (video and/or sound) in your PDF documents. Please do not enable any document security settings or password-protect any PDF file you submit to us.
No attachment should be more than 2 MB.
For non-form documents, label pages clearly with the name of the item (e.g., Organizational Background) and your organization's legal name. Leave a margin of at least one inch at the top, bottom, and sides of all pages. Do not reduce type below 12 point font size. Do not type in all capital letters. Within each attachment, number pages sequentially; place numbers on the bottom right hand corner of each page. Excess pages will be removed and not be reviewed.
When you open the Grants.gov Attachments Form, you will find 15 attachment buttons. By clicking on a button, you will be able to choose the PDF file from your computer that you wish to attach. Please attach the proper file to the proper button as listed below.
ATTACHMENT 1: ORGANIZATIONAL BACKGROUND STATEMENT (One-page limit)
To this button, attach a one-page Organizational Background statement. The file name should indicate the name of your organization or a recognizable acronym followed by "OrgBackground.pdf." Submit no more than one page. Excess pages will be removed and not be reviewed.

Describe how the project will benefit underserved populations that have limited access to the arts due to geography, ethnicity, economics, or disability. Include any major challenges that the community currently faces. How will the target population or community be included in the planning for and implementation of the project? If relevant, have you worked with this target population or community in the past?
Outcome(s) and Measurements. Select one of the two outcomes below as most relevant to your project. Discuss how your project directly addresses this primary outcome.
You may also address a secondary NEA outcome (Creation, Engagement, Learning, or Livability) and/or any additional outcomes of your own that you have established for the project.
Detail the performance measurements that you will use to provide evidence that the primary NEA outcome was achieved. Refer to the Challenge America Fast-Track category description for information on the evidence that is required for each outcome.

This list should demonstrate eligibility (i.e., your organization's three-year history of programming) and the artistic excellence and merit of your organization. Where available, include arts or cultural programming that has a relationship to the project for which you are requesting support (e.g., show examples of previous festival programming if your project is for a festival). For most applicants, this list should show selected artists/projects/exhibitions/works that your organization has or will have presented/produced/exhibited/performed.

Follow the detailed instructions under "Submit your electronic application" above.
Please note: on April 18, 2012 at 3:00 pm ET we will conduct an NEA-GO training webinar for applicants on using the NEA-GO system to upload work samples electronically.
In addition to the material that you submit through Grants.gov, you must submit work samples as detailed below. Your application package will not be considered complete without these items. Do not submit work samples through Grants.gov.
You will upload your work samples electronically. This will eliminate the need for you to mail work samples to the NEA after completing the Grants.gov application process.
To upload work samples, you will use the NEA GrantsOnline™ System (NEA-GO), which is being administered for the NEA by the Western States Arts Federation (WESTAF). This will proceed as follows:
You will complete the Grants.gov application process as detailed through Step 5 of the instructions above.
To ensure that you receive WESTAF's login information promptly, we recommend that you add the following e-mail address to your list of safe senders: firstname.lastname@example.com.
The NEA-GO system is optimized for use with the following web browsers: Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and Google Chrome. Internet Explorer will also work, but you must have at least version IE 8.
NEA staff will be available to answer any questions that you have.
You should prepare your work samples well in advance of the deadline and have them fully ready to upload once NEA-GO becomes available to you. Well-edited work samples are preferred.
Work Sample Preparation
Work samples should demonstrate the artistic excellence and artistic merit of your project .
Wherever possible, this should be a sample of work by the primary artist(s) for the project. For projects that involve guest artists, you must submit an example of work by the proposed artist(s). For projects that focus on unified promotion, the work sample should reflect the work of the individual(s) responsible for the development/design or the quality of the resources, as appropriate.
Acceptable Formats
You will be able to upload samples in the formats described below. There is a limit of 250 MB for all of your work samples combined.
Audio Samples
Submit no more than five selections; each selection should not exceed three minutes. You will upload each selection in a separate file. Each file has a size limit of 5 MB. Acceptable file types are mp3, wma, wav, aac, mid, midi, mpa, and ra.
Digital images
Submit up to 15 images. You may either combine all of your images into a single PDF file or upload each image in a separate file. Image size should be consistent; 1024 x 768 pixels is suggested. Each image/file has a size limit of 5 MB. Acceptable file types are jpeg, gif, bmp, png, and tif.
Video Samples
Submit no more than five selections; each selection should not exceed three minutes.
You may submit a link to a video sample, or upload a video sample directly to NEA-GO.
If you submit a link:
Submit a PDF with a link to the website. If you are including more than one website, submit no more than five and list them all on a single PDF. For each site, list the URLs for pages to be shown; include any necessary information on required plug-ins, passwords, or navigation paths.
If you upload directly to NEA-GO:
Acceptable file types are avi, flv, mov, mp4, mpeg, rm, and wmv. Your video sample must be in one of these acceptable file types. File types such as VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, and VIDEO_TS.VOB will not work.
In order to be uploaded, videos must meet the following minimum requirements:
You can often check the resolution of a video as follows. In Windows environments, find the file on your computer, right click it, and select "Properties." On a Mac, hold the Control key, and click on the file name. Select "Get Info" and the information should display. Most videos are a standard 29 frames per second.
While the above requirements are the minimum, submitting your video in the mp4 (H.264) format at 640 x 480 with mp3 audio will allow for efficient uploading while showing your clips to best advantage. There is a file size limit of 250 MB. (Note, however, that there is a limit of 250 MB for all of your work samples combined so choose your video samples carefully.)
If your video doesn't meet the minimum resolution requirements above, there are a number of software programs you can use to convert your video, such as the free MPEG Streamclip; DV Kitchen for Mac, which has a free trial; and www.mediaconverter.org, which allows for five free conversions.
If you are submitting more than one video sample, you will upload each individually, in a separate file.
Do not submit your organization's general website. Only submit a website that is an essential part of the project.
Submit a PDF with a link to the website. If you are including more than one website, submit no more than five and list them all on a single PDF. For each site, list the URLs for pages to be shown; include any necessary information on required plug-ins, passwords, or navigation paths.
NOTE: If you provide links to works samples -- audio samples, digital images, video samples, or documents – the same limits on work samples uploaded directly to NEA-GO apply to those provided via links:
Audio samples: No more than five selections; each selection should not exceed three minutes.
Digital images: Up to 15 images.
Video samples: No more than five selections; each selection should not exceed three minutes.
Documents: Up to 15 pages each.
Documents (Literary samples, publications, periodicals, catalogues, architectural schematics, marketing materials)
Submit a very limited sample that is directly related to the proposed project. Upload each document individually, in a separate file. Each file has a size limit of 5 MB and 15 pages. All documents should be submitted as PDF files.
If you have to scan material, please follow the guidance below:
Work Sample Information
For each work sample that you upload electronically, you will find a descriptive field into which you will enter the following information, as appropriate:
Title box:
Description box:
[Applicants submitting multiple websites or multiple images on a PDF should include the relevant information from above with each website or image in the PDF. The descriptive field for the file should provide a brief overview of the group of images or websites as a whole.]
For previous applicants: There is no longer a separate Work Sample Index.
If new information that significantly affects your application (including changes in artists or confirmed funding commitments) becomes available after your application is submitted, please send that information immediately to the specialist for the field/discipline of your project. Include your organization's name and application number on any such submission. No changes in or revisions to your application can be made through Grants.gov.

Aviva USA Company Profile
Aviva USA, based in Des Moines, Iowa, is the top seller of equity-indexed annuities in the U.S. Its parent is Aviva PLC, one of the largest insurance companies in the U.K. The U.S. business was once known as CGU Life, and Iowa-based life insurer AmerUs Group Co. was added in a $2.9 billion acquisition in 2006 in a plan to gain greater access to the U.S. savings market.
Aviva USA, along with other companies in the insurance industry, is opposing a Securities and Exchange Commission proposal to put equity-indexed annuities under the purview of securities regulators. In 2008, two subsidiaries of the company settled a lawsuit brought by Minnesota's attorney general, who alleged they sold senior citizens long-term deferred annuities that weren't suitable for their financial needs.
Management has set its sights on building an innovative culture. It aims to double revenues by 2010 by extending existing products and creating new ones. In an effort to diversify, the company is rolling out several initiatives, including "Wellness for Life," a twist on life insurance that gives customers credit for getting checkups and maintaining a healthy weight. The company broke ground on a new headquarters in the suburbs of West Des Moines in 2008.

Sebastian is alone and so horny he's decided to put a fat dildo he finds to good use. He slides it deep inside that hot ass of his as he starts to fuck himself with it. He shoves it all the way inside and gets caught by Brenn who walks in on him. "You're gonna use my fucking toys staying in my house?" Brenn barks as he pulls that dildo out of his ass; strips Sebastian's pants off and orders he put his legs up. Sebastian complies immediately as Brenn kneels between his legs and shoves that dildo deep inside that hungry hole. "You like using my toys, you lil bitch!" he taunts as he starts to lick that hole he's fucking with that thick toy. He plunges that dildo in and out as he gets to work sucking on Sebastian's cock and balls. He holds the dildo in place and orders Sebastian to ride it. Sebastian squats up and down on it with ease as Brenn whips out his own cock and feeds it to Sebastian. He grabs hold of his head as he slaps his face around before shoving his dick down that throat. "Take it, you fucking little whore!" Brenn grunts before slapping his face and chest some more. Sebastian groans loving every bit of it...

Test Equipment Connection announces the availability of the new Huntron Tracker 2800 and 2800S in November, 2012.
The 2800 series of Huntron® Tracker® are designed to complement conventional test instruments in the debug and troubleshooting process. Using the proven power-off test method known as Tracker Signature Analysis it eliminates the risk of further circuit damage, which often occurs when power is applied. The Huntron Trackers are suited for today's mixed signal circuit cards where Analog and Digital are mixed together.
The Huntron Tracker 2800 and 2800S can be interfaced with the Huntron Workstation software. The Workstation software is an optional add-on to a Tracker 2800/2800S with a USB connection. The addition of software control enables users to develop tests, capture and compare signatures and view test results on a PC.
The Tracker 2800's features variable range parameters resulting in over 100 combinations of voltage, source resistance and frequency. The 2800 series is a great off-line support tool for the automated Huntron Access Prober diagnostic systems.
The Tracker works by applying a current-limited AC signal across two points of a component. The current flow causes a vertical signature deflection, while the applied voltage causes a horizontal deflection. Together they form a unique V/I signature that represents the overall health of the device under test. Analyzing the signature can quickly determine whether the component is good, bad, or marginal.
The new Tracker 2800 and 2800S use a color touch screen for control of selected features such as DC Voltage Source control, pin selection (2800S) and Channel A/B alternating rate.
The Huntron Tracker 2800 series display provides a very fast screen refresh rate that approaches the speed of an electrostatic CRT display for quick screening of component pins. The enhanced range selections complement the Huntron Tracker Model 30 ranges as well as provide expanded test coverage. Huntron SigAssist is based on the range selection, the range parameters are used calculate and display numeric information. The Values displayed are resistance(in ohms), capacitance (in farads), power (in watts), and forward and reverse breakdown voltage (in volts).
Today's portable electronic devices use 3 volt or lower logic circuits. The low test voltage ranges of the Tracker 2800 make it an ideal tool to troubleshoot these products.
The Tracker 2800 and 2800S both feature a built-in DC Voltage Source that can be used to power gated devices such as TRIACs, SCRs and relays. This gives a true dynamic test of these types of devices.

Over the past five years, the event has easily become one of the city's most popular events, which was made evident by last year's record turnout.
The event will run the last three Fridays and Saturdays of the month, beginning on Friday, Oct. 12, and ending on Saturday, Oct. 27.
"We had a great event last year, and we're hoping for more of the same this season," said Daniel Shepherd, marketing and DDA coordinator for the city of Ringgold. "The ghost walks that we added last year were well-attended, so we are going to have those available again so people can take a tour through the cemetery as well as some of the other historical sites in town."
The theme of this year's event is "The Fright Express," and Shepherd says that along with a new theme comes a completely new design for the inside of the Depot.
"We try to mix it up and make it different every year," he said. "Nobody wants to go to the same old thing every year, so the guys constructing the concept inside are working hard to make it as exciting and scary as possible."
In addition to the "Haunted Depot" and the Ghost Walks, this year's event will once again feature the Old-fashioned hay ride, as well as live entertainment.
"There's going to be plenty to see and do," Shepherd said. "We'll have different bands and musical entertainment, and a couple of different dance teams performing. Hopefully we'll have good crowds again this year. I mean, come on...who doesn't want to enjoy some deep-fried Oreos while getting the mess scared out of 'em?"
The entertainment is expected to include the TADA Dance Academy on Oct. 12 and Oct. 26, The Robby Hopkins Band on Oct. 20, and band Common Ground on Oct. 27.
The festivities are slated to begin at 7 o'clock each night.
More information can be obtained about the event by visiting the city's website at cityofringgold.com., or by calling the Ringgold Depot at 706-935-5290.
Ringgold's sixth annual Haunted Depot
Where: The historic Ringgold Depot @ 155 Depot Street
When: October 12-13, 19-20, 26-27
Time: 7 p.m. each
Cost: Haunted Depot-$5, old-fashioned hay ride-$3, ghost walks-$5

MOUNT PLEASANT – Four different players scored goals as the Iowa Wesleyan College women's soccer team defeated Knox College 5-1 Thursday afternoon at East Lake Park.
Jessica Ryan (So.-Burlington, Iowa) scored twice and teammates Jillian Sulcer (Fr.-Mechanicsburg, Ill.), Shannon Lee (Jr.-Bloomington, Ill.) and Serina Reyna (Fr.-Selma, Calif.) all added one goal each as the Tigers won for the third time in four matches and improved to 3-5 overall.
Ryan scored bookend goals for the Tigers, who controlled the ball throughout the match and outshot the Prairie Fire 29-8. The sophomore scored the opening goal in the 19th minute, cleaning up a rebound off Knox goalkeeper Alex Rauland. Ryan also scored IWC's final goal in the 87th minute, taking a pass from Brittney Moss (Fr.-Genoa, Ill.) and dribbling past the defense before depositing the ball in the net for her seventh goal of the season.
Sulcer and Lee both added their goals in the first half off assists from Moss and Reyna, respectively, as IWC took a 3-0 lead into halftime. Knox briefly cut into the lead in the second half. Rozie Smith scored off an assist from Carrie Ramig in the 63rd minute to make it 3-1. The Tigers came back with their fourth goal less than ten minutes later, though, when Reyna capitalized after a long run for an unassisted goal at the 71:40 mark.
Cara Arnold (Fr.-Stillman Valley, Ill.) had four saves to get her third win for the Tigers. Sulcer and Deandra Franzisi (Jr.-Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario) led the team in shots with four each.
Rauland stopped 12 shots for the Prairie Fire, who were unable to win for the second straight match and dropped to 1-8 on the season. Emma Swanson led the team in shots with three.
IWC now gets ready for Midwest Collegiate Conference play beginning Saturday with a match in Cedar Rapids at Mount Mercy College. Match time for the women is 1 p.m., with the Wesleyan and Mount Mercy men playing at 3 p.m.
For more information regarding the IWC soccer programs or any of the Tiger athletic teams, contact sports information director Adam Glatczak (319-385-6306 phone; 319-385-6384 FAX; firstname.lastname@example.com e-mail) or log on to IWC's athletics web site at www.iwc.edu/athletics.

The Australian will step up from his role as senior assistant coach to take caretaker charge following Andy Robinson's resignation last month.
Scotland's Six Nations campaign begins on February 2 against England at Twickenham.
SRU chief executive Mark Dodson confirmed a global recruitment for a permanent successor to Robinson is ongoing.
Robinson stood down after three and a half years in charge on November 25 following the 21-15 loss to Tonga which left Scotland 12th in the International Rugby Board world rankings following 10 losses in 13 Tests.
Former United States Eagles and Ospreys head coach Johnson, who was once in caretaker control of Wales, was appointed as part of a coaching overhaul following the 2012 Six Nations, when Scotland lost all five Tests.
The 50-year-old helped to oversee the successful summer tour to Australia, Fiji and Samoa before November losses to New Zealand, South Africa and Tonga.
Dodson said: "Scott has a wealth of experience of international rugby, which was instrumental in his appointment earlier this year as our senior assistant coach.
"He has coached with Australia, Wales and the USA and knows what it is to prepare teams to win on the international battleground.
"Scott knows our players and coaches well and is determined to hit the ground running with a successful Six Nations Championship."
Johnson said: "It's an honour to take charge of the national team for our imminent campaign.
"I will be doing everything I can to bring the best out of our players as we all seek to achieve winning performances."
The coaching team remains the same, with an appointment of an interim forwards coach soon to be made; ex-England flanker Robinson formerly looked after the pack.
Assistant coach Matt Taylor (defence) and specialist coaches Duncan Hodge (kicking and catching) and Massimo Cuttitta (scrummaging) are also part of the coaching team.
Gilbert has released a new line of rugby cleats. The Gilbert Virtuo 8S is part of the exciting new product. Check it out.

On Nov. 3 lineman Thomas Ellis and apprentice lineman Tim Goodman began an 11-day rotation in response to the massive power outages sustained in the "Frankenstorm" that assaulted the Northeast on Halloween.
The crew teamed up with several other Electric Cities of Georgia crews for the two-day trip to New Jersey.
"I think it's always a good thing when you can help," said Mike Stewart, LaFayette Electric superintendent. "It put us short-handed, but I feel that you never know if you're going to need some help."
"You better offer a hand if you ever expect to get a hand," Ellis said.
The two men worked 16-hour shifts (5 a.m. to 9 p.m.) in a moderately wind-damaged area (Ocean Port, N.J.), replacing broken power poles and installing service wire.
The response left more work for the six linemen remaining in LaFayette, but two days after arriving, a "Nor'easter" dumped six inches of snow on the area, causing more repairs for the crews and increasing the misery for residents as they attempted to recover.
"It kind of added insult to injury, I guess," Ellis said.
Those crews slept in tractor-trailers that held 30 in bunk beds, while local volunteers kept them well-fed.
Crews feverishly worked to re-establish power for the affected homeowners, with little chance to even gauge the magnitude of the disaster.
Ellis has responded to a total of four disasters in nine years with the city of LaFayette's electric department, the worst being tornado damage in Athens. Ala. (north of Huntsville) on April 27, 2011.
He moved into a new home with his family a week prior to volunteering to assist in the hurricane recovery.
"I am writing to express my gratification for the service provided by this man and his crew who restored my electrical service, after it had been out for nine days," Murray Rubin wrote in a letter of praise with a photo of the crew. "This man stated that we would have our power restored within two hours, and it was."
The senior citizen couple didn't even know the name of the workers, but cleverly wrote down their license plate, which led to the appreciation letter.
A similar letter from the Electric Cities of Georgia extolled the efforts that all crews made in emergencies during harsh conditions, while sacrificing time with their families.

Slogging through floodwaters, mud, and debris, PETA's Community Animal Project fieldworkers were out and about during and in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy to respond to calls about animals left outside in some sort of endurance test imposed on them by their owners. Here are just two of them—dogs who are very lucky to be alive after their owners left them chained to trees during the hurricane.
Brownie had to ride out up to 60-mile-per-hour winds and buckets of rain in a toppled-over airline crate. The chain he was on had become wrapped around a tree, and he was surrounded by scattered debris and mud puddles. Brownie's neglectful owners decided that he was too much trouble when asked to take him indoors, so they gave him to PETA's fieldworkers, and we delivered him to our friends at the Virginia Beach SPCA, who offered him a warm, dry, indoor residence right away while they search for a far better family for him.
Tipsy's small, filthy doghouse didn't offer much protection from the hard-driving weather, and when CAP workers found her, she was soaked to the bone. We gave her a roomy new doghouse, moved her to a grassy spot, covered her yard with dry straw, cleaned her food and water bowls, and gave her a much-needed toweling off. We are in talks with her owners, hoping to get them to change their ways and become real guardians now.
As the Eastern Seaboard recovers from Hurricane Sandy, we will undoubtedly hear the stories of animals who, unlike Brownie and Tipsy, were not found in time and lost their lives because their owners couldn't care less about their safety.
Natural disasters aren't preventable, but the tragic deaths of companion animals during disasters certainly can be. Please sign PETA's petition urging the governors of each state to ban chaining during extreme weather.
How could people be so heartless to just abandon their pets, in my family a pet is family, if I were In their place I never would have left my animals, I'll die with them before I let them die alone; a proud owner of three cute kitty cats

The Rolling Stones are set to launch a North American tour in May, according to reports. (Facebook / March 9, 2013) |
The Rolling Stones may soon be rolling Stateside.
In the wake of last year's well received 50th-anniversary shows in London, Brooklyn and New Jersey, the legendary English band is planning a North American tour, according to Rolling Stone magazine, which quoted a "concert business source." The trek, reportedly set to launch May 2, is to include 18 shows in West Coast cities including L.A. and Seattle. "But I think they're going to do some back East as well," said another source.
PHOTOS: Rolling Stones through the years
Though the Stones haven't released a new studio album since 2005's "A Bigger Bang," last year's 50 & Counting mini-tour demonstrated that demand to see the band live still runs high: With over 73,000 tickets sold, according to Billboard, the five shows grossed nearly $39 million.
In November guitarist Ronnie Wood told The Times that a month-long stretch of five-hour rehearsals in Paris had gotten the Stones "up to a point we've never been before." Frontman Mick Jagger added that the practice allowed the band to let go onstage. "You store up a lot of ammunition so you can do anything you want," he said.
Rumors ran high earlier this year that the Stones were to play next month's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. That turned out not to be the case, but now the Coachella buzz has been replaced by speculation that the band will appear at England's Glastonbury Festival in June.
Speaking this week to MTV, Sergio Pizzorno of the British band Kasabian said he doubts his group's performance at June's Hard Rock Calling will be the most memorable of that weekend "because the Rolling Stones are playing Glastonbury." The official lineup for Glastonbury has yet to be announced.

This is surgery to remove the esophagus. The esophagus is the tube that runs from the mouth to the stomach.
Reasons for Procedure
Esophagectomy may be used to treat:
- Esophageal cancer
- Benign tumors and cysts of the esophagus
- Other esophageal abnormalities
Possible Complications
If you are planning to have esophagectomy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Bleeding
- Blood clots
- Infection
- Soreness in throat
- Adverse reaction to the anesthesia
- Leaks from the internal suture line
- Heart attack
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Pre-existing heart or lung conditions
- Advanced age
- Obesity
- Smoking
- Diabetes
- Excessive alcohol intake
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may do the following:
- Physical exam
- Blood and urine tests
- Chest x-ray —a test that uses radiation to take pictures of structures inside the body
- Ultrasound—a test that uses sound waves to examine structures in the body
- CT scan —a type of x-ray that uses a computer to take pictures of structures in the body
- MRI scan —a test that uses magnetic waves to make pictures of structures in the body
- Upper endoscopy —a thin, lighted tube inserted down the throat to examine the esophagus
- Place a feeding tube into your small intestine (may be done during the esophagectomy)
Leading up to your procedure:
Talk to your doctor about your medicines. You may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to one week before the procedure, like:
- Anti-inflammatory drugs (eg, aspirin )
- Blood thinners, such as clopidogrel (Plavix) or warfarin (Coumadin)
- Arrange for someone to drive you home from the hospital and to help you at home.
- Eat a light meal the night before. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
Your doctor may ask you to:
- Use an enema to clear your intestines
- Follow a special diet.
- Take antibiotics or other medicines.
- Shower using antibacterial soap the night before the surgery.
General anesthesia will be used. It will block any pain and keep you asleep through the surgery. A tube will be placed in your windpipe to help you breathe.
Description of the Procedure
Depending on the area that needs to be removed, the doctor will make an incision in the neck or abdomen using one of these techniques:
- One large incision (open procedure)—The doctor will locate the diseased area and remove it.
- Several small incisions ( robot-assisted procedure )—A tiny camera and small surgical instruments will be inserted through the incisions. Looking at the esophagus on a monitor, the doctor will locate and remove the diseased area.
A "replacement" esophagus will be formed with part of the stomach. The remainder of the esophagus will be attached to this new esophagus. In some cases, lymph nodes in the area will also be removed. One or more chest tubes will be placed to drain fluids. Lastly, the incisions will be closed with stitches or staples.
How Long Will It Take?
About six hours
How Much Will It Hurt?
You will feel pain as the anesthesia wears off. Ask your doctor about medicine to help with the pain.
Average Hospital Stay
This procedure is done in a hospital setting. The usual length of stay is 1-2 weeks. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
Post-procedure Care
You will not be able to eat or drink anything during the first week after surgery. You will get nutrition through a feeding tube. Within 7-14 days, you will have a swallowing test to check for leaks. If there are no leaks, your diet will gradually progress from clear liquids to soft, solid meals. You will probably be able to return to a normal diet after about a month. Your stomach will be smaller, so you will need to eat smaller portions.
You will also need to do deep breathing exercises. You may be given an incentive spirometer. This is a device to help you breath deeply.
- Your doctor will encourage you to walk every day.
- Avoid heavy lifting for 6-8 weeks.
- Ask your doctor about when it is safe to shower, bathe, or soak in water.
Call Your Doctor
After you leave the hospital, call your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or any discharge from the incision site
- Nausea and/or vomiting that you cannot control with the medicines you were given after surgery, or which persist for more than two days after discharge from the hospital
- Pain that you cannot control with the medicines you have been given
- Pain, burning, urgency or frequency of urination, or persistent bleeding in the urine
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Pain and/or swelling in your feet, calves, or legs

Evan Dunham wants to shut up Internet writer by smashing Rafael dos Anjos

"I tell you who I would like to fight: Rafael dos Anjos," Dunham recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "I read an interview saying I had no business fighting a guy like that and that he's at a whole different level.
"Bleacher Report put out something – I'm not very happy with that guy, but I don't let it get to me."
Yet it's easy to see it does get to the Oregon native. There was certainly no shame in his win, grinding out a hard-fought split decision over a massive Gleison Tibau, who Dunham said felt like a tree trunk when he tried unsuccessfully to take the fight to the floor. Still, Dunham admits his primary attack was unfortunately ineffective.
"My mindset going into the fight was to put him on his ass and submit him," Dunham said. "But as we saw, that didn't work out too well. Plan B was to go to the hands.
"He's a very durable guy. I was trying to put him away, and that didn't happen."
Tibau proved capable in his takedown defense, but he tired as the fight wore on. Dunham kept active and pushed until the final bell, sealing the narrow win. It didn't provide any material for his career highlight film, but Dunham was secretly satisfied with the win. While he only begrudgingly discussed his condition, Dunham admitted he battled several pre-fight injuries that nearly saw him pull out of the fight.
"I don't want to go into the whole thing, but … this camp was by far the shortest and least productive – not by choice, obviously," Dunham said. "There were several things that came up within this fight. I don't want to go into it all, but it was by far my worst camp ever. "
So perhaps that's why Dunham is a little emotional about the criticism of his performance. After all, with 10 UFC fights under his belt and three "Fight of the Night" bonuses, Dunham has proven he belongs in the UFC.
Now, in an effort to silence one Internet writer, Dunham is ready to take on dos Anjos.
"I read it real quick, but it said I didn't have any business fighting a guy like Rafael dos Anjos," Dunham said. "I wanted to remind him that two of his losses are two guys I beat. I would love to go fight that kid and put the hurt him just so I could rub it in that other dude's face."

Here we introduce the MultiTox-Fluor Multiplex Cytotoxicity Assay technology that allows the measurement of the relative number of live and dead cells in culture wells. This assay provides inversely proportional values of cytotoxicity and viability that are useful for normalizing data to cell number. The MultiTox-Fluor Reagent can also be multiplexed with other cell-based assays.

Sunshine Week, Except in Hawaii
Originally published as: Hawaii considering law to ignore Obama 'birthers'
Reuters – President Barack Obama delivers remarks on health insurance reform at Walter F. Ehrnfelt Recreation and …
by Mark Niesse, Associated Press Writer
Wed Mar 17, 2010
HONOLULU – Birthers beware: Hawaii may start ignoring your repeated requests for proof that President Barack Obama was born here.
As the state continues to receive e-mails seeking Obama's birth certificate, the state House Judiciary Committee heard a bill Tuesday permitting government officials to ignore people who won't give up.
"Sometimes we may be dealing with a cohort of people who believe lack of evidence is evidence of a conspiracy," said Lorrin Kim, chief of the Hawaii Department of Health's Office of Planning, Policy and Program Development.
So-called "birthers" claim Obama is ineligible to be president because, they argue, he was actually born outside the United States, and therefore doesn't meet a constitutional requirement for being president.
Hawaii Health Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino issued statements last year and in October 2008 saying that she's seen vital records that prove Obama is a natural-born American citizen.
