8 Health Benefits of Kale + Diet Cautions
Discover the newest superfood of the stars, its health benefits AND cautions.
"Every leaf of kale your chew adds another stem to your tree of life." Ancient Turkish Saying
Kale was once called the 'poor people food' but now it's the new trend. Celebrities like Angelina Jolie, Woody Harrelson, and Gwyneth Paltrow are all eating kale to feel better and keep the 'sleek physique' needed for stardom.
It is one of the my top Powerfoods!
Did you know?
- There are over 50 varieties of kale
- National Kale Day is celebrated on the first Wednesday of October.
- Kale plants continue to produce late into winter. It is the perfect green for seasonal eating in fall or winter.
- Kale needs a frost to become sweeter. The frost converts some of plant's starch into sugar.
- In Scotland, an invitation to "come to kale" was an invitation to dinner.
- An adult hippopotamus at Washington D.C.'s National Zoo eats 10 pounds of kale a day!
8 Health Benefits of Kale:
1. Can help lower cholesterol levels.
The fiber fiber in kale binds bile acids and helps lower blood cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. It's best when kale is cooked instead of raw.
2. Kale is a detox food.
It's filled with fiber and sulfur which are great for detoxifying your body and keeping your liver healthy.
3. Low in calories
A cup of chopped kale has only 33 calories. Great for weight loss!
4. Great at fighting many cancers
Kale is rich in organosulfur compounds which are known to figh cancer, especially colon cancer.
5. Supports a healthy immune system.
Kale is full of sulforaphane which helps which nourishes the immune system.
6. Visual Benefits.
Kale is abundant in two carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin, which act like sunglass filters preventing damage to the eyes from excessive exposure to ultraviolet light.
7. Supports normal blood clotting, antioxidant activity, and bone health.
The high amount of Vitamin K helps nourishes those activities in the body healthy.
8. Great for helping digestion and elimination.
It is very high in fiber.
All greens are nutritious, but kale stands way above the rest. Kale has more iron than beef per calorie. Very high in in Vitamin K, full of powerful antioxidants and much more. Read all about it: Kale Nutrition.
- "Kale is the one of the oldest forms of cabbage, originating in the eastern Mediterranean. Kale is thought to have been used as a food crop as early as 2000 B. C." Laurie Hodges, Ph. D. Extension Specialist
- Kale originated in Asia Minor and by the 5th century B.C., the preference was for the larger leaf that developed into the vegetable we now know as kale.
- The plant was brought to Europe around 600 B.C. by groups of Celtic wanderers. Early historic records on the Romans called it Sabelline Cabbage.
- Kale was a staple crop in the Scottish Islands because of its hardiness; the Scots grew it in kale yards. Almost every house had a kale yard and preserved kale in barrels of salt.
- English settlers brought kale to the United States in the 17th century.
- Russian kale was introduced into Canada (and then into the U.S.) by Russian traders in the 19th century.
How to Buy and Store Kale:
- Always buy organic kale; it is grown with lots of chemicals making it one of the Dirty Dozen. The kale should be firm with fresh, with deeply colored leaves and hardy stems.
- Kale with smaller leaves will be tenderer and have a milder flavor than larger leaves.
- Put kale in a plastic storage bag removing as much of the air from the bag as possible. Keep in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days. The longer it is stored, the more bitter its flavor becomes. Do not wash kale before storing because the water encourages spoilage.
Too much vitamin K can cause problems for anyone taking anticoagulants such as warfarin because the high level of vitamin K may interfere with the drugs. Consult your doctor before adding kale to your diet if you are on this type of medication.
Kale and Oxalates. Kale contains oxalates that interfere with the absorption of calcium. There is much controversy about this.
Goitrogenic Food? Contrary to popular belief, latest studies show that kale is not goitrogenic. In fact, most foods that are commonly called goitrogenic (kale, broccoli and cauliflower) as well as soy-based foods do not interfere with thyroid function in healthy persons even when they are consumed on a daily basis. Again this is controversial.
Tips for eating or cooking:
- You can eat kale raw when it is young and tender – almost like lettuce.
- The kale you eat at the store will probably be mature which means it will probably be too tough and fibrous to digest easy.
- Blending mature kale will help but the easiest way is to cook it.
- Kale is so nutritious even cooked kale is loaded with vitamins and minerals.
- Many people enjoy kale chips. The health results will depend on the quality of kale and oils, plus the preparation methods.
Kale Recipes:
Braised Kale Kale and garlic and other good ingredients.
Steamed Winter Vegetables Perfect for fall and winter seasonal eating.
Pear Green Smoothie All ingredients are alkalizing! A great way to start your day.
KABOCHA SQUASH SOUP One of my favorite soups.

Late-Breaking News from the Home-Front: We've Bought a War-time House!
See below for a few photos of our little brick house. We think it's from the 1940s--according to the current owners, we will only be the house's third owners. The first owner was a lady who lived there for 50 years, then sold in the 1990s to the current folks; however, we'd love to hear from anyone who might have a good handle on architecture to tell whether its style is reflective of the 40s or not? (note: obviously the kitchen is not in its original state: it was updated last year).
Anyway, although some of the rooms are painted wild colours (such as the little boy's Spider Man room, not depicted) so I have a bit of painting ahead of me, this Land Girl is ecstatic she is going to have a backyard and a little attic room for her office. What's more, the little town we are moving to looks like Star's Hollow from The Gilmore Girls, complete with little shops, a little dance studio, a really cool town hall, and a post-office that one has to walk to for the daily mail (no "to the door" post service). Eeee...sorry for going on and on here, but I'm so excited I don't know how I'm going to keep calm for the next two months (we move in late Aug). All I want to do is make interior decorating plans for the bedrooms and living room.

Congratulations! It's adorable! The rooms have so much potential. The town also sounds lovely - I've always dreamed of living in a place like that. My husband and I are hoping to move into our first house at the end of August as well (but to rent, we're not ready to commit to buying yet), and I've started to become fixated on decorating and am fiendishly seeking out potential furniture pieces to fill it out with! It's so much fun to dream about, isn't it? (especially if you know for sure that soon it won't just be a dream)

Subject: Short-Term Investment Funds
Date: October 10, 2012
To: Chief Executive Officers of All National Banks and Federal Savings Associations, Federal Branches and Agencies, Department and Division Heads, All Examining Personnel, and Other Interested Parties
Description: Final Rule
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) published a final rule in the Federal Register on October 9, 2012, that revises the requirements imposed on U.S. banks and federal branches of foreign banks pursuant to 12 CFR 9.18(b)(4)(ii)(B), the short-term investment fund (STIF) rule.
A STIF is a type of collective investment fund (CIF) that operates pursuant to a plan that governs a bank's management and administration of the fund. For admissions to and withdrawals from the fund, a bank may value STIF assets on an amortized cost basis, provided that the STIF plan includes certain requirements, rather than marking the assets to market, which is the valuation method required for other CIFs. Currently, a STIF plan must require the bank to: (1) maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less, (2) accrue on a straight-line basis the difference between the cost and the anticipated principal receipt on maturity, and (3) hold the fund's assets until maturity under usual circumstances.1
The final rule revises and adds to these requirements. Under the final rule, a STIF will be required to
The final rule applies directly to national banks and federal branches of foreign banks that act in a fiduciary capacity and manage a STIF. As a result of cross-references in the rules applicable to federal savings associations, the final rule also will apply indirectly to those institutions. Based on information reported as of June 30, 2012, however, no federal savings associations were managing STIFs.
The OCC will continue to evaluate the requirements of its STIF regulations in light of future policy assessments and initiatives concerning similar types of funds, such as money market mutual funds, and will take additional actions as appropriate.
The effective date of the final rule is July 1, 2013.

No need for a really good photo to be always exactly focussed! – That may sound a little strange. However this will be less surprising after having been on the latest Tamron Workshop in the Sächsischer Schweiz National Park. For three days the 13 participants had every opportunity of looking over the shoulder of professional photographer Jürgen Müller.
Camera shake is the most common reason for blurry images. This is caused by an involuntary movement of the camera during the exposure time. The longer the exposure, the more susceptible a photo is to camera shake. However, with a few tricks, and using the VC image stabilization, the risk of camera shake can effectively be minimized.
Most of us take pictures in landscape mode. It's only natural: in the horizontal our field of vision encompasses about 180 degrees, but vertically only about 130 degrees. So we see in widescreen, so to speak. Computer monitors and televisions are designed for landscape-format representation. Cameras are designed so that we can conveniently take pictures in landscape format.
A few weeks ago in our blog we posted a contribution regarding the most common mistakes. Are you, too, often not really satisfied with your pictures? Do you get the feeling that your photos are somehow lacking harmony? The cause is usually a composition that has not been thought out: the composition of the individual elements in the picture is not strong enough. The linear composition does not stand out clearly.
Photographer Stefan Eisend put the Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD through its paces at the Ilulissat Icefjord.

Author Notes: This simple sauté was inspired by my love of two Southern classics, corn pudding and slowly braised collards with bacon. You start by crisping some bacon, then quickly sauté the corn and the collards in the bacon drippings. The trick to quick-cooked collards is cutting them into very thin ribbons and giving them a whirl in a hot pan until they're bright green and slightly wilted. The finishing touch of a cider vinegar-maple syrup dressing brings all of the flavors together. —EmilyC
Food52 Review: I love slow cooked collard greens, which the author said inspired this recipe. The difference is these collards are cooked just for a moment - so they're bright green and still maintain a bit of crunch. Slicing the greens into thin ribbons is brilliant. And the flavor profile here is outstanding - the richness of butter and bacon, a tiny kick from crushed red pepper and green onions, zing from lemony thyme, and the sweet crunch of fresh corn. Then to bring it all together, a vinegar and maple syrup vinaigrette. This recipe is perfect as is. —Pinch&Swirl
Serves: 4 to 6
3 thick-cut slices bacon (about ¼ pound), cut into small rectangles or lardons
1 T unsalted butter
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tsp finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
¼ cup thinly sliced scallions (white and light green parts only)
1½ cups fresh corn kernels (from about 2 to 3 ears), or substitute frozen corn (thawed)
1 ½ pounds collard greens
kosher salt + freshly ground black pepper
2 T apple cider vinegar
1 tsp maple syrup
- To prep your corn: Shuck your corn and remove the silks. Cut the kernels from the cob using your favorite technique and set them aside in a bowl. Take the cobs, and with the back of your knife, scrape down the entire length of each cob to extract the milk. Let the milk fall into the bowl of reserved corn.
- To prep your collards: With a sharp knife, cut the stem from each collard leaf, then divide the leaf in half to easily cut away the stem running down the middle. Discard the stems. Next, stack a pile of the leaves, tightly roll them into a cigar shape, and cut crosswise into 1/8" ribbons. Repeat with remaining collard leaves. Wash the collard ribbons in several changes of water to remove any dirt or debris clinging to them. Pat dry with a kitchen or paper towel, or give them a whirl in your salad spinner to remove excess water (to prevent them from steaming).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar and maple syrup.
- Heat a 12-inch skillet or sauté pan over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the bacon lardons and cook about 4 to 5 minutes, until they've rendered their fat and are lightly crisp. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the bacon to a paper-towel lined plate, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.
- Add the butter and when it melts and sizzles, add the red pepper flakes and lightly toast them for about 20 seconds, then add the green onions, thyme, and a pinch of kosher salt. Saute them about 2 minutes over medium heat, then add the corn and continue sautéing for another 2 to 3 minutes. Add the collards, a pinch of salt and pepper, and using tongs, toss the collards until they're evenly coated with the bacon fat and butter. Saute just until the collards begin to wilt and turn bright green and glossy, about two minutes. Taste for tenderness; you don't want to overcook the collards or they'll become tough. (Saute the collards in two batches if necessary, making sure to remove all of your previous corn and collards from the pan so they don't become overcooked.)
- Take the pan off the heat, and add the vinegar-syrup dressing and stir well; taste for seasoning. Toss in the bacon. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.

Brian Winspear could have had his name on a silver plaque 12 times, but he escaped death. The 92-year-old bombing of Darwin veteran today opened a new WWII memorial wall at East Point, where his comrades are remembered for their service. Click play to hear Brian's story.

The memorial wall stretches along a 60 metre path around the original 9 inch gun emplacement on Darwin's coast, and bears the names of 1672 people who died in northern Australia during WWII.
Divided into sections for the Royal Australian Navy, the Australian Army, the Australian Air Force, the US navy and army as well as civilians, the wall is the first place all WWII casualties from the Northern Territory, Queensland and Western Australia can be remembered.
"I was nearly on the wall 12 times - I nearly died twelve times," Brian Winspear AM said.
When Japan first bombed Darwin, Brian had just arrived in town after leaving West Timor the day before.
"We'd just got back and had breakfast then the first wave of dive bombers and zeroes came in," he said. "You could see the Japanese pilots smiling as they went over."
"Looking up I could see 27 bombers arriving. As I was watching, the sun reflected off all the bombs and it was just like confetti coming down.
"I popped into a trench and got a bomb split went into my hand and one in my eye. That was one of the 12 times I might have been on the wall."
Mr Winspear wants to find the names of his friends who died in the war alongside him in service.
"There's a flight lieutenant who was pilot of the aircraft I should have been on and it crashed - I wanted to see him," he said.
"Also I was best man to a boy called Raynor, and about three weeks after the wedding he left and didn't come back, so I wanted to see his name here because he left a new wife behind.
"It was pretty rugged times."
He said so many of his comrades were killed that the uniforms they left behind formed a two-metres-high pile in his quarters.
"It got to the stage where if the crew didn't come back, we'd give them two days then we'd put all their shirts and shorts in a pile in the spare bedrooms," Brian said.
"We didn't have to do any laundry because when we needed new shorts we'd just go to the pile. That was what it was like - life was cheap and if you went out and didn't come back, so be it."
Brian Winspear will be at the Darwin Cenotaph for the Bombing of Darwin 71st commemoration tomorrow morning.

The LGBTQ/Sexuality Studies minor involves the exploration and examination of sexuality and gender through historical, philosophical, literary, anthropological, scientific, sociological, and other lenses. The minor gives students the opportunity to study and critically analyze the experiences of individuals concerning gender and sexuality, as well as to examine gender and sexuality as social constructions that vary throughout history and in different societies. Critical analyses concern how gender and sexuality are formed, defined, regulated, and expressed in biological, social, political, and aesthetic contexts.
College Requirements
College Admission
College Admission
The entrance requirements for the College of Arts and Sciences are the same as the University of Nebraska–Lincoln General Admission Requirements. Students who are admitted through the Admission by Review process may have certain conditions attached to their enrollment at Nebraska. These conditions are explained under "Removal of Deficiencies."
In addition to these requirements, the College of Arts and Sciences strongly recommends a third and fourth year of one foreign language. Four years of high school course work in the same language will fulfill the College of Arts and Sciences' language requirement. It will also allow students to continue language study at a more advanced level at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, and provide more opportunity to study abroad.
Transfer Students
To be considered for admission as a transfer student, Nebraska resident or nonresident, students must have an accumulated average of C (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) and a minimum C average in the last semester of attendance at another college. Transfer students who graduated from high school January 1997 and after must also meet the University of Nebraska–Lincoln General Admission Requirements. Those transfer students who graduated before January 1997 must have completed in high school, 3 years of English, 2 years of the same foreign language, 2 years of algebra, and 1 year of geometry. Transfer students who have completed less than 12 credit hours of college study must also submit either their ACT or SAT scores.
Ordinarily, hours earned at a similarly accredited college or university are applicable to the University of Nebraska–Lincoln degree. The College, however, will evaluate all hours submitted on an application for transfer, and reserves the right to accept or reject any of them, based upon its exclusion and restriction policies. Sixty (60) is the maximum number of hours the University will accept on transfer from a two-year college or international institution. Transfer credit in the major or minor must be approved by the departmental advisor on a Request for Substitution Form to meet specific course requirements, group requirements, or course level requirements in the major or minor. At least half of the hours in the major field must be completed at the University regardless of the number of hours transferred.
The College of Arts and Sciences will accept no more than 15 semester hours of C- and D grades from other schools. The C- and D grades cannot be applied toward requirements for a major or minor. This policy does not apply to the transfer of grades from UNO or UNK to the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. All D grades may be transferred from UNO or UNK, but they are not applicable to a major or minor.
Readmitted Students
University of Nebraska–Lincoln students who choose not to take courses for more than two consecutive terms, must reapply to the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. Students readmitted to the College of Arts and Sciences will follow the requirements stated in the catalog for the academic year of readmission and re-enrollment as a degree-seeking student in Arts and Sciences. In consultation with advisors, a student may choose to follow a catalog for any academic year in which they are admitted to and enrolled as a degree-seeking student at Nebraska in the College of Arts and Sciences. Students must complete all degree requirements from a single catalog year. Beginning in 1990-1991, the catalog which a student follows for degree requirements may not be more than 10 years old at the time of graduation.
Admission Deficiencies/Removal of Deficiencies
Students must remove entrance deficiencies in geometry and foreign language as soon as possible, and before graduating from the College of Arts and Sciences. For questions and more information, students should consult a college advisor in the Academic and Career Advising Center in 107 Oldfather Hall.
Removing Foreign Language Deficiencies
Students must complete the second semester of a first year language sequence to clear the deficiency and the second semester of the second year language sequence to complete the college graduation requirement in language.
Removing Geometry Deficiencies
A deficiency of one year of geometry can be removed by taking high school geometry courses through an approved independent study program, or by completing a geometry course from an accredited community college or a four-year institution. Neither of these options will count for college credit.
College Degree Requirements
College Distribution Requirements
Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science (16 hours + Language)
The College of Arts and Sciences distribution requirements are designed to further the purposes of liberal education by encouraging study in several different areas within the College. All requirements are in addition to University ACE requirements. A student may not use a single course to satisfy more than one of the following five distribution requirements. A student cannot use a single course to satisfy both an ACE outcome and a College distribution requirement. A student cannot use a course from their primary major to satisfy the Breadth Requirement (F), but may apply an ancillary requirement of the primary major or a course from their second major toward this requirement. Independent study or reading courses and internships cannot be used to satisfy distribution requirements. To see a complete list of excluded courses, run a degree audit through MyRED.
Courses from interdisciplinary programs will count in the same area as courses from the home/cross-listed department(s).

Instruction is currently available in Arabic, Chinese, Czech, French, German, Greek, Japanese, Latin, Omaha, Russian, and Spanish. A student who has completed the fourth-year level of one foreign language in high school is exempt from the languages requirement.
|CDR F - Additional Breadth
|Select from: natural, physical and mathematical sciences (Area B), humanities (Area C), or social sciences (Area D). Cannot be a course from the primary major.
|Credit Hours Subtotal:
See degree audit or a College of Arts and Sciences advisor for approved geography and anthropology courses that apply as natural science.
Language courses numbered 210 or below apply only for the foreign language requirement.
See degree audit or College of Arts and Sciences advisor for list of natural/physical science courses in anthropology, geography, and psychology that do not apply as social science.
Scientific Base
Bachelor of Science Only (60 hours)
The bachelor of science degree requires students to complete 60 hours in mathematical, physical and natural sciences. Approved courses for scientific base credit come from the following College of Arts and Sciences disciplines: actuarial science, anthropology (selected courses), astronomy, biochemistry (excluding BIOC 101), biological sciences (excluding BIOS 203), chemistry (excluding CHEM 101), computer science (excluding CSCE 10), geography (selected courses), geology, life sciences, mathematics (excluding courses below MATH 104), meteorology, microbiology, physics and statistics.
See your degree audit or a College of Arts and Sciences advisor for a complete list including individual classes that fall outside of the disciplines listed above. Up to 12 hours of scientific and technical courses offered by other colleges may be accepted toward this requirement with approval of a college advisor.
Foreign Languages/Language Requirement
Languages Exemption Policy
The University of Nebraska–Lincoln and the College of Arts and Sciences will exempt or waive students from the Nebraska entrance requirement of two years of the same foreign language or from the College's language distribution requirement based on documentation only. The following are the options and procedures for documentation:
High School Transcripts
For the University entrance requirement, students must show an official high school transcript with two or more years of the same foreign language.
For the College of Arts and Sciences College Distribution Requirement E-Language, students must show an official high school transcript with four or more years of the same foreign language in high school, or show evidence of graduation from a non-English-speaking foreign high school. Students whose native language is not English must show English as a Second Language study on an official high school transcript. Four years of ESL at the high school level (9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grades) will be the basis for a waiver of the CDR E Language requirement.
Proficiency Examination at UNL
For the University entrance requirement, students who do not have transcript documentation can request to take a proficiency exam in the language. (This is not the same test as the Modern Languages Placement Exam.) However, the University will provide testing only in the languages it teaches. Currently, these languages are: Arabic, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Czech, Japanese, Chinese.
For the College of Arts and Sciences College Distribution Requirement E-Language, the Department of Modern Languages will oversee the test at the 202 level. If the student passes the test, the department will sign the College Request for Waiver form and indicate the level of proficiency. The form is then forwarded to the Arts and Sciences Advising Center for approval.
The Department of Modern Languages will oversee the test and provide written documentation to the Arts and Sciences Advising Center the level of proficiency passed.
Distance Education
For the University entrance requirement, students without transcript documentation who claim proficiency in a language not taught at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, have the option of seeking out a distance education program in languages. If the student completes the equivalent of 102 from an approved distance education program, the student will meet the University's entrance requirement. The student must have the course work approved before he/she takes/completes the course as equivalent to 102 by a College advisor. The student then completes the course and has the distance education program send the transcript to the Admissions Office.
For the College of Arts and Sciences College Distribution Requirement E-Language, the student can seek out a distance education program and complete the equivalent of the 202-level course. The student must submit the request on the College Request for Substitution form and have the course work approved by a College advisor. The student then completes the course and has the distance education program send the transcript to the Admissions Office.
Third Language Option
If a student demonstrates knowledge of two foreign languages at the 102 level, the College of Arts and Sciences may consider waiving two semesters of the four semester College Distribution Requirement E-Languages requirement. If this waiver were granted, the student would then be required to complete 101 and 102 in another, 3rd foreign language at Nebraska.
Minimum Hours Required for Graduation
A minimum of 120 semester hours of credit is required for graduation from the College of Arts and Sciences. A total grade point average of at least 2.0 is required.
Grade Rules
Restrictions on C- and D Grades
The College will accept no more than 15 semester hours of C- and D grades from other schools except for UNO and UNK. No transfer C- and D grades can be applied toward requirements in a major or a minor. No University of Nebraska–Lincoln C- and D grades can be applied toward requirements in a major or a minor.
Pass/No Pass Privilege
University regulations for the Pass/No Pass (P/N) privilege state:
- The Pass/No Pass option is designed for your use by seeking to expand your intellectual horizons by taking courses in areas where you may have had minimal preparation.
- Neither the P nor the N grade contribute to your GPA.
- P is interpreted to mean C or above.
- A change to or from a Pass/No Pass may be made until mid-term (see academic calendar for specific dates per term).
- The Pass/No Pass or grade registration cannot conflict with the policy of the professor, department, college, or University governing the grading option.
- Changing to or from Pass/No Pass requires using the MyRED system to change the grading option or filing a Drop/Add form with the Office of the University Registrar, 107 Canfield Administration Building. After mid-term of the course, a student registered for Pass/No Pass cannot change to a grade registration unless the Pass/No Pass registration is in conflict with the policy of the professor, department, college, or University governing Pass/No Pass.
- The Pass/No Pass grading option cannot be used for the removal of C- or D or F grades.
Pass/No Pass privileges in the College of Arts and Sciences are extended to students according to the following additional regulations:
- Pass/No Pass hours can count toward fulfillment of University ACE requirements and college distribution requirements up to the 24-hour maximum.
- Most Arts and Sciences departments and programs do not allow courses graded Pass/No Pass to apply to the major or minor. Students should refer to the department's or program's section of the catalog for clarification. By college rule, departments can allow up to 6 hours of Pass/No Pass in the major or minor.
- Departments may specify that certain courses of theirs can be taken only on a P/N basis.
- The college will permit no more than a total of 24 semester hours of P/N grades to be applied toward degree requirements. This total includes all Pass grades earned at the University and other U.S. schools. NOTE: This 24-hour limit is more restrictive than the University regulation.
Grading Appeals
A student who feels that he/she has been unfairly graded must ordinarily take the following sequential steps in a timely manner, usually by initiating the appeal in the semester following the awarding of the grade:
- Talk with the instructor concerned. Most problems are resolved at this point.
- Talk to the instructor's department chairperson.
- Take the case to the Grading Appeal Committee of the department concerned. The Committee should be contacted through the department chairperson.
- Take the case to the College Grading Appeals Committee by contacting the Dean's Office, 1223 Oldfather Hall.
Course Level Requirements
Courses Numbered above 299
Thirty of the 120 semester hours of credit must be in courses numbered above 299. Of the 30 hours above 299, 15 hours (1/2) must be completed in residence at UNL.
Graduate Courses
Seniors in the University who have obtained in advance the approval of the dean for Graduate Studies may receive up to 12 hours credit for graduate courses taken in addition to the courses necessary to complete their undergraduate work, provided that such credits are earned within the calendar year prior to receipt of the baccalaureate. For procedures, inquire at the Office of Graduate Studies.
Course work taken prior to receipt of the baccalaureate may not always be accepted for transfer to other institutions as graduate work.
Residency Requirement and Open Enrollment and Summer Independent Study Courses
Students must complete at least 30 of the 120 total hours for their degree at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. Students must complete at least 1/2 of their major course work including 6 hours above 299 in their major, and 15 of the 30 hours required above 299 in residence. Credit earned during education abroad may be used toward the residency requirement if students register through the University and participate in prior-approved education abroad programs. The University of Nebraska–Lincoln open enrollment and summer independent study courses count toward residence.
ACE Requirements
Consistent with the mission and values of the University, ACE is based on a shared set of four institutional objectives and ten student learning outcomes. The ACE program was approved by faculty in all eight undergraduate colleges and endorsed by the Faculty Senate, the student government, and the Academic Planning Committee in January 2008 for implementation in the fall 2009. ACE aligns with current national initiatives in general education.
Key characteristics of ACE demonstrate the benefits of the program to students:
- Students receive a broad education with exposure to multiple disciplines, critical life skills and important reasoning, inquiry, and civic capacities.

Levein refusing to panic
Craig Levein insists there is no reason to be worried about Scotland's 2014 World Cup hopes despite the 1-1 draw with Macedonia at Hampden leaving his side with two points from two games.
The common consensus was that six points were needed from the opening double-header at home but the goalless draw against Serbia on Saturday followed by Tuesday night's result means the Scots are two points behind Serbia, Belgium and Croatia.
But Levein remains confident of qualifying, and said: "I look at the situation just now. There are three teams on four points, we are two points behind and for me there is no need to get worried about the situation just now. If you look at the table it doesn't look damaging at all, does it? It isn't as bad as people might make out. I am very positive about where we are going."
He went on: "You look at Serbia on Saturday, did you think they were better than us? I didn't.
"And I didn't think there was much between the teams tonight at all.
"I don't think we handled the counter-attack very well and that is more about personnel than anything else.
"We will have to get victories from somewhere, I accept that and playing away from home and sitting in might suit us.
"We would much rather be sitting with four points but what's done is done. The important thing is picking up points in the next match.
"I don't know what it will need, I don't know how many points it will take to qualify, what I do know is there are 24 left.
"I also know we have players to come back who will make the team stronger, particularly in the midfield area."

It has been confirmed that Lockheed Martin (shortly - LMT) is reportedly shopping around a F-35/F-22 hybrid concept, combining aspects of the two 5th-generation fighters as the Pentagon begins work on a 6th-generation fighter that could take decades to develop and field.
It is said backers of a F-35/F-22 hybrid fighter note that it would provide an incremental improvement over the existing, cutting-edge fighters, during the development process of the new 6th generation aircraft which can last very long for. According to a report by Defense One, to counter threats from obvious adversaries like Russia and China, Lockheed has pitched to the Air Force and U.S. allies a fighter that has an upgraded F-22 stealth body and the F-35's avionics.
It has been confirmed that Lockheed Skunk Works' design will compete with Boeing and General Atomics to build an unmanned, carrier-launched refueling plane for U. S. Navy. The Navy is currently evaluating the tanker design from Skunk Works, as well as a drone from Boeing's Phantom Works known as the T-1 and a joint project between Boeing Autonomous Systems and General Atomics Aeronautical Systems on another MQ-25 prototype.
The 48th rotation of detachments contributing to NATO's Baltic Air Policing mission will start soon. From September 2018, the Belgian Air Force will take the lead over the mission at Šiauliai, Lithuania, while the German Air Force will augment out of Ämari, Estonia. Belgium will also Belgium to take over lead of the mission.
This will be 7th time of the Belgian military aircraft deployment to the Baltic States. The Belgian Air Force will deploy to the NATO mission not only the F-16 fighter jets, but also – like other participating countries - Airmen and all necessary equipment. The detachment will come from two fighter bases located at Florennes and Kleine Brogel and stay until the end of the year. It is worth noting that more than decade ago - in March 2004 - Belgium was the first nation to be responsible for safeguarding the airspace of the three Baltic States since their accession to NATO.
During the next few months the U.S. Air Force will test a new concept drone designed to act like a sidekick to combat planes with human pilots. Codename of this project is "loyal wingman". Such a drone or, to be more specific, entire "drone fleet" will give huge advantage to more precious manned aircraft operating in the hostile areas. "Loyal Wingman" it is a drone wingman that could act in concert with its crewed partner to shoot down enemy fighters, run interference for the crewed airplane as it carries out an attack, or suppress and destroy enemy air defenses before the crewed plane enters range.

Hi Dana,
Would you be interested in hitting some tennis balls? I'm a 4.0/4.5 player and play at Balboa Tennis Club. Open to playing anywhere else if need be. How often do you play?
Hi Dana,
I work from home and kind make my own hours, so mine is pretty flexible. Let me know what is good for you?
What's up? We hit a while (more than a year or so probably) ago at the courts at UCSD. Why we didn't hit again I don't know. Anyway, I'm looking to get out and play again and thought I'd see if you're in the area still and want to play. Let me know. I hope all is well.
I'm in UTC. How about you?
How about sat around 12 @ UCSD?
Do you have an email I can contact you at? Mine is firstname.lastname@example.com

Miriam becomes Category 3 hurricane off coast of Mexico
MIAMI – U.S. forecasters say Miriam has strengthened into a Category 3 hurricane well off Mexico's Baja California peninsula.
Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami said Miriam is packing top sustained winds of 120 mph, making it what's classified as a major hurricane.
The hurricane formed a day earlier in the eastern Pacific and was centered about 410 miles south-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja peninsula.
The center says Miriam was moving northwest at 12 mph. No coastal watches or warnings are in effect, but swells will hit Baja's southern and western shore during the next couple of days.
In the open Atlantic, Tropical Storm Nadine was meandering far from land with top sustained winds of about 50 mph.

Rebuilding Your '47-53 Chevy Frontend
There's definitely something to be said for people who want to "keep" an I-beam axle under the front of their old truck. In an era where it's commonplace to retrofit outdated chassis with modern independent suspensions, it may seem odd that anyone would want to retain, let alone rebuild, a parallel-leaf setup-and with non-power drum brakes and all, no less! Well, guess that's comparable with preferring to ride an old rigid-framed Harley over a new model that features a fully suspended rear…sometimes, you gotta sacrifice comfort for style.
Unlike the motorcycle comparison, when dealing with a straight-axle equipped pickup, there's another big factor involved-cost. For many, it's a hell of a lot cheaper to simply rebuild that antiquated frontend versus installing (or often having installed) a Mustang II-style or similar IFS. And in reality, while there's no doubt a huge difference in ride quality between the two (the IFS winning that one of course), you can improve the performance of a parallel-leaf setup to a certain degree. And for someone who's used to riding a rigid motorcycle, well, let's just say even the slightest improvement will be noticeable. Same goes for the brakes and steering.
The one area where limitations are extremely hard to overcome with an I-beam is of course the stance-you can only go so low before running into all kinds of trouble, period. If extreme drop is what you're after, it's probably best you go with an IFS. But, if you can live with the few inches a set of lowered springs and a dropped axle will give you, read on.
We decided to give LMC Truck a call to see what they offered in the way of frontend parts for a '47-53 Chevy half-ton. As it turned out, they stocked pretty much everything we needed, including all the necessary items to rebuild the stock drum brakes, as well. As we started tearing apart the old components, though, we realized that there were a few things needed that LMC did not offer-mainly a set of spindles. For as many trucks that have been IFS'd in the past, it's amazing how difficult it is to locate decent discarded I-beam items. Luckily, a call to Bowtie Bits not only resolved that issue, but also the situation we were about to encounter with the steering arms (more on that later).
Typically, an early Chevy frontend can be rebuilt with basic handtools, as there's no machining involved-that is, as long as your axle and spindle kingpin bosses aren't excessively worn. If that's the case, you may want to consider locating another axle, or better yet, stepping up to a new one like the dropped version CPP offers. We started off on the '53 by going through the main suspension first and will follow up with subsequent installments covering the steering and brakes separately.

Another day another BlackBerry 10 leak. This time the BB 10 is leaked in a walk-through video. This is probably the best look we've had so far of the upcoming BlackBerry 10 L-Series phone codenamed "London." It appears to be slightly taller than the iPhone 5, but quite a bit thicker as well.
The BlackBerry 10 phone is said to have NFC and a microSD card slot.
What do you think? Is this phone enough to save RIM from financial disaster?

Most company executives will say that employees are their most valuable resource. Unfortunately, this is often just lip service, because many people I talk with are not shy about sharing how they feel taken advantage of by managment. Seems like management increases pressure a little more each year while offering a little less in return.
This certainly was not the case recently when I visited Noshok Inc., in the Cleveland Suburb of Berea. As I was waiting the in the lobby of Noshok's beautiful, contemporary building, I poked my head around the corner. There, I saw what looked like a giant man cave. I stepped inside for only about a minute but saw a shuffleboard table, air hockey table, ping-pong table, pool table, bar, and huge TV surrounded by lots of comfy looking furniture.
When I got back to my office, I sent a message to Sheryl, who I had met with earlier that day. I mentioned the lounge area I discovered, and she told me I was in Noshok's "Club 1010," an after-hours employee lounge. Sheryl siad Club 1010 is just one of many benefits Noshok provides to demonstrate to employees that management really does hold them in high regard. Sheryl said employees can also enjoy an internet café, sauna, steam room, workout facility with regular exercise classes, and a dojo.
Actions speak louder than words, and this is some serious action on the part of Noshok. But don't take my word for it; check out the pics below. see more images and learn more by clicking here.

Poyet keen to experience cup final
Sunderland boss Gus Poyet has urged his players not to pass up the chance of a lifetime as they attempt to book a trip to the Capital One Cup Final.
Manchester United stand between the Black Cats and a first trip to a major final since 1992 - and their first in the League Cup since 1985 - when the sides meet at Old Trafford on Wednesday evening.
They will do so with Poyet's men holding a 2-1 first-leg lead and with the likes of United old boys John O'Shea and Wes Brown, as well as Sebastian Larsson, Craig Gardner and Ki Sung-yueng, knowing exactly what it takes to win the competition.
However, many of their team-mates have never reached a major final, and the Uruguayan knows chances to do so do not come around too often for all but the biggest clubs.
Poyet, whose side will be roared on by 9,000 expectant travelling fans, said: "I always say that.
"There are plenty who have never had this opportunity, either because they are too young or because they have been playing in teams that didn't have the chance to reach this possibility.
"That's why we need to make sure that we do everything possible to give those players the chance to feel what it means to play in a final at Wembley and have the opportunity of winning a trophy.
"People think it's easy to get to a semi-final and a final, but you don't get it every year and that shows you how difficult it is, apart from the top teams who normally are close.
"It's a great opportunity."
To that end, Poyet will send his players out under instructions to seal their own destiny by taking the game to United rather than attempting to edge their way to Wembley.
He said: "The important thing is we need to score. If we go there thinking that the only way to get through is getting a 0-0, we are wrong.
"We need to try to score and play the game and manage the game."
Poyet will have two new faces in his squad with Argentinians Santiago Vergini and Oscar Ustari having joined the club this week.
Goalkeeper Ustari is likely to be named among the substitutes, while Vergini may have to be a little more patient, although Poyet, who revealed he had been tracking the defender for 18 months, is hopeful he will make an impact on Wearside.
He said: "He's going to bring experience, a winning mentality - he won the league in Argentina and he has started going with the national team, even if he has played only one game.
"He's a good character, a proper Argentinian defender I can call him. He is big, which is good for England, and he can pass the ball, so he has got everything to be a success in England.
"Then it will depend on the way we play, how he adapts and then to see if the football in reality is good for him. But I think he could be great for us."
