Las Cruces, NM — New Mexico State University President Garrey Carruthers announced today the reorganization of the NMSU Athletics Department. Included in the reorganization is naming Las Cruces businessman David McCollum to the newly created position of deputy athletics director. In the new position, McCollum will oversee all business affairs for the Athletics Department.
"We are going to manage the NMSU Athletics Department more like a business enterprise," Carruthers said. "That's why I've chosen to bring in a talented businessman like David McCollum, who is not only familiar with NMSU Athletics, but also has a history of managing and growing companies. We are going to grow NMSU Athletics through increased attendance, donor participation, sponsorships and marketing."
McCollum was previously the owner and chief executive officer of FIG Publications, which owned the Las Cruces Bulletin, the Rio Rancho Observer and the Kirtland Air Force Base Nucleus. Each of these newspapers was struggling financially when they were acquired by FIG, but were quickly turned around.
McCollum has also worked as group publisher for the Community Newspapers Holding Company in Birmingham, Ala., as president and publisher of the Las Cruces Publishing Company, and as a senior leader in several other companies in the areas of media, marketing and advertising. In each instance, McCollum demonstrated the ability to successfully promote growth and expansion.
"I'm thrilled to have this opportunity to join the NMSU team," McCollum said. "Athletics is crucial to the university. It's one of the primary opportunities we have to get our name out across the country. The coaches we have at NMSU are some of the best in the country."
"I'm excited to welcome David as the new deputy athletics director," NMSU Athletics Director McKinley Boston said. "As my role expands to include more external, fundraising and development activities I'm looking forward to working with David to continue to guide the Athletics Department in a direction to succeed both on the playing surface and in the classroom."
Under the new organization plan, McCollum will oversee the department's marketing, financial and Title IX operations. He will also coordinate supervision of sports information. NMSU Athletics Director McKinley Boston will continue to oversee each of the NMSU team coaches. McCollum credited Boston for the increased focus on academics within NMSU Athletics during his time at the university.

It needed a complete business side plus room for a change of clothes to maintain that professional look after flying from coast to coast on the Redeye and enter the boardroom. I added a completely separate clothing section with its own entry to the case, while keeping the profile of this bag slim. There is no need to drag two pieces of luggage when one piece does it all in a smartly detailed and fully functional way. It became an overnight success, literally." - Irwin

Comment: Re:Easy solution (Score 2) 348
I wouldn't be surprised to see countries such as BRIC members, EU members, or other countries start trying to woo the best and brightest for economic gains.
I think this focus on the "best and brightest" is actually a part of the problem. Sure, you'll need certain skills to run a research group, but these skills are found in many people and not just in the top of the batch. Beyond a certain point, the individual abilities of a researcher tend to be only weakly correlated with the actual research outcomes. There are many examples of people doing amazing science even though they are generally not considered to be top-notch scientists, even including Nobel laureates.
Science is an inherently risky business, with most scientists not finding out anything really exciting during their entire career and only very few ones will hit something that turns out to be really big. But you cannot possibly know in advance what this next big thing is going to be and who will find it, otherwise this wouldn't be science at all. In such an environment, the best investment strategy is to allocate your funds evenly across as many scientists as possible (I think it was Taleb who showed that). Of course, you have to make sure that each scientist gets enough money to run his or her group, but this optimal strategy is exactly the opposite of the current trend towards mega-chairs involving multiple labs and dozens of grad students and postdocs.

CDFA has developed a Response Plan to determine whether or not there is an established ACP infestation in Tulare County.
CDFA has released updated maps of the Lindsay/Strathmore and Terra Bella 800 M eradication areas.
CDFA has also released updated maps of the 37 square mile Lindsay/Strathmore and 31 square mile Terra Bella restricted boundaries.
To date no suspect samples of ACP have been found in Kern County.
Read the latest Kern County ACP Update on Tulare County psyllid finds.
CDFA has set "Restricted Areas" for the movement of citrus and plants in the areas around the finds. Maps of the Lindsay/Strathmore and Terra Bella 800 M treatment areas are now available.
California Citrus Mutual has issued a Press Release supporting CDFA's intensive eradication program now underway in the San Joaquin Valley.
Citrus growers, PCA's, PCO's and others are invited to a Citrus Pest & Disease Prevention Program sponsored ACP meeting on December 11, 2012 in Tulare.
ACP has been detected in Alabama, Hawaii, Mississippi and Texas. Both ACP and the disease have been found in Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and South Carolina. Both ACP and HLB have been detected in Mexico as well. HLB infected psyllids have caused devastation to citrus in Asia, India, parts of the Middle East and South and Central America. ACP can be spread by movement of incoming nursery stock, citrus fruit with leaves, stems, contaminated conveyances, etc. ACP early detection is key in preventing the spread of this insect pest and the potential spread of HLB.
ACP has not been detected in Kern County but has been found in southern California counties.
HLB has not been found in California.
The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) and County Agricultural Commissioners are placing ACP traps in buffer zones within three miles of commercial citrus orchards at a rate of 15 traps per square mile in citrus producing counties.
On Monday, March 8, 2010 Kern County Department of Agriculture staff members began placing yellow panel sticky traps within the three mile buffer zone around commercial citrus orchards in the southern part of the county. A total of 6,765 traps will be set in Kern County. Every trap will be located using GPS technology. This will allow for mapping ACP presence/spread and also for recording areas surveyed with no ACP found. The traps will be checked monthly and will be maintained through September 2010.

COLONIE, NY - The family of the man who died after he was tased by Colonie police has indicated they may sue the city.
Their attorney confirms to NEWS10 that the family of Chad Brothers has filed a notice of claim, a necessary step before a lawsuit can be filed. The town and the Colonie Police Department are named.
NEWS10 was first to show you the surveillance video from October, of 32-year-old Brothers on what police call a "drug-fueled tirade," at Gold's Gym in Latham.
Brothers was tased multiple times and later died. A toxicology report shows he had steroids and PCP, in his system.
The Colonie Town Attorney says the town is prepared to defend itself against any lawsuits.

Providing a resource for arms control treaty
implementers to assist them with keeping
up-to-date on the issues and events critical to understanding and eliminating chemical
and biological weapons.
The Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) prohibits the development, production, stockpiling, or transfer of toxic chemicals intended for use as chemical weapons. At the same time, the Convention also protects the rights of States Parties to develop, produce, store, and transfer toxic chemicals intended for peaceful purposes. This article examines the measures in place within the CWC to accomplish both of these objectives.
In Article II of the Convention defines "toxic chemical" as: "any chemical which, through its chemical action on life processes, can cause death, temporary incapacitation, or permanent harm to humans or animals. This includes all such chemicals, regardless of their origin or of their method of production, and regardless of whether they are produced in facilities, in munitions or elsewhere" (CWC Article II, paragraph 2). This definition clearly includes toxic chemicals that can be used in industry.
Recognizing that not all toxic chemicals are produced for purposes prohibited by the Convention, the CWC defines three categories, or "schedules," of chemicals. Schedule 1 includes chemicals that are known to have been developed, produced, stockpiled, or used as chemical weapons (CW), or that have a high potential for use in activities prohibited by the Convention. Schedule 1 chemicals are rarely used in legitimate industrial processes. Some examples of Schedule1 chemicals are sarin, tabun, and VX. Schedule 2 includes chemicals that are lethal or incapacitating to humans, and/or are CW precursors. Schedule 2 chemicals also have limited legitimate industrial uses and include chemicals such as PFIB, BZ, and thiodiglycol.
Schedule 3 chemicals encompass agents that could be used as weapons or as CW precursors, but also have many legitimate uses. Phosgene, hydrogen cyanide, and diethyl phosphite are examples of Schedule 3 chemicals. Schedule 3 chemicals are subdivided into two parts: part A lists chemicals that could be used directly as chemical weapons, and part B list chemicals which could be CW precursors. Below is a list of CWC Schedule 3 chemicals and their industrial uses.
Under the Convention's Verification Annex, States Parties are obligated to declare annually any facility producing more than 30 tonnes of a Schedule 3 chemical during the previous or upcoming calendar year (Verification Annex, Part VIII, paragraph 3). These are other provisions contained in the Verification Annex enable the States Parties to have confidence in their individual and collective compliance with the obligations agreed to under the Chemical Weapons Convention.

There's a nut war going on, and it's more than the usual squirrel battle to gather the most food before winter sets in.
Growers of almonds, peanuts, pecans, pistachios and walnuts are clamoring to communicate the big health benefits in each bite.
Nuts as a category have emerged as one of the health heroes in the food world. Not too long ago nuts suffered from an image problem because of their high calorie content.
But today studies show that people who regularly eat nuts — about 1½ ounces a day, five days a week — are at much lower risk of having their arteries clog than non-nut eaters. (By they way, 11/2 ounces is a handful, not a can full.)
"Nuts have gotten a bad rap for being 'fattening.' The truth is nuts are nutrient powerhouses full of anti-oxidants, protein, fiber and minerals," said registered dietitian Marisa Moore, an Atlanta spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association.
Nuts can also help keep your blood sugar on an even keel, and the most attention-grabbing news for calorie counters is that research also suggests that eating nuts may dampen your appetite, putting the brakes on your tendency to overindulge.
Not created equal
Just in case you hadn't noticed, the first three letters in nutrition happen to be N-U-T, but all nuts do not contain the same nutrient benefits. So the nut world is crowded with sales pitches based on nutritional profiles.
Almonds are a particularly good source of calcium, vitamin E and fiber.
Peanuts (technically a legume) serve up five times the amount of the heart- health-promoting B vitamin folate, compared with other nuts.
Pecans are a super source of anti-oxidants, ranking higher than most other nuts.
Cashews provide copper and hazelnuts manganese, both important micro-nutrients.
Walnuts are the best nut source of omega-3 fatty acids, important for heart health and other benefits.
Chestnuts, with only 69 calories per ounce, win as the leanest nut. Most nuts clock in at about 160 to 200 calories per ounce.
Pistachios win the biggest number in a 1-ounce serving. Forty-nine nuts go a long way to satisfying your craving for a snack. Moore points out another plus: "Pistachios in the shell are the perfect slow food snack. The time it takes to open pistachios gives your brain a little extra time to realize when you're satisfied. This helps with both portion control and ultimately weight management."
Case for mixed nuts
So, which nut should you snack on? Toss into salads? Crush to make a breading for baked fish? They're all good choices for different reasons. So perhaps it's best we refer to one of the hallmarks of good nutrition, which is to enjoy a variety of foods to get a variety of benefits. Sounds like mixed nuts to me.
Happily, you can find a variety of nuts on Atlanta restaurant menus.
Here's a sneak peek at two nutty dishes about to be introduced.
Bistro Niko (scheduled to open Thursday): Chef Gary Donlick's French bistro-inspired salade de endives gets extra crunch and nutrition from walnuts and apples.
One Midtown Kitchen: New executive chef Drew Van Leuvan adds excitement to green pea ravioli with curried hazelnuts.
Nut notes
● The protein in nuts puts them in the "meat" category. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in meal planning, a half-ounce of nuts is equal to 1 ounce of meat.
● Studies suggest that most nuts may reduce the risk of heart disease. But it's interesting to note that does not apply to Brazil nuts, macadamias and cashews, which are higher in saturated fats than other nuts.
● About 1 percent of the population is allergic to nuts.
Always ask the server if nuts are used in recipes and if dishes can be made nut-free.

if only they were more affordable. a can of pistachios without the shell cost $10 and a bag in the shell cost $5. a bag of almonds is also nearly $5. i love nuts myself, but financially when you're on a budget, they can set you back.

Malika, I am a nuts about nuts. I buy usually buy almonds (Blue Diamond—The best) at Target. A small tin runs about 2.50 on sale. They do sell large bags which do run about $5, but the 2.50 size is fine. Other nuts are on sale about every other week. Another favorite for affordable nuts (my favorite is lightly salted whole cashews and pecans) is Trader Joe's. Just about all the nut varieties are affordable though some more than others.

Only a fool pays attention to what the government tells them to eat. I can remember when eggs were forbidden until the egg industry paid off their congressmen. Common sense tells you that nuts are a good naturally producted snack but your are better off without all the salt added during processing.

Egg yellows are still bad for you, like mayonaise, crescent rolls, and avocadoes. Just get a book and study which foods have the most saturated fat.

Vancouver, BC (November 28, 2011) – The GREY CUP continues to be one of the biggest celebrations and television events in Canada. Preliminary overnight data from BBM Canada confirms that an average audience of 4.6 million viewers watched the BC Lions win the 99th GREY CUP last night on TSN and RDS with a convincing 34-23 victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at BC Place. It was the most-watched television program of the week in Canada and the most-watched sports program of the broadcast year.
Overall, more than 11 million Canadians, or more than 1 in 3 Canadians, tuned in to watch some or all of last night's broadcast on TSN and RDS. In the Vancouver Market, more than half the population watched some of the game, while 65% of people watching television viewed the 99th GREY CUP.
"The GREY CUP is a national celebration like no other and last night's impressive audience is a testament to the impact the game has on Canadians," said Stewart Johnston, President of TSN. "Our CFL team delivered another outstanding broadcast capturing all of the excitement that makes the CFL so special. We can't wait to kick off the 2012 season as we look to the 100th GREY CUP next year in Toronto."
"The 99th GREY CUP in beautifully refurbished BC Place Stadium, captured so magnificently by TSN and RDS, was a special moment for our league," said CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon. "We're thrilled that millions of Canadians shared it with us. That's what the Grey Cup is all about: bringing Canadians together around the great game of Canadian football."
The 99th GREY CUP capped off a full weekend of Canadian football coverage on TSN that included the thrilling 2011 VANIER CUP, which has been widely regarded as one of the most dramatic Canadian football games that has ever been played.
CFL on TSN analyst Paul LaPolice opens his playbook and breaks down key plays from each week's games. More...

Auto Authority
Auto Authority was founded in 1996 as a transportation company and was met with immediate adversity when our truck caught fire on our very first load. With my life savings spent on the start up and a long battle between the truck manufacturer and the insurance company, we were left without any income. That is when Auto Authority became a used car lot. I know pre-owned sounds much classier, but in the beginning there was no class about it. We were retailing cars for under $500, so you get the picture! The word spread fast about our customer service and integrity and we soon had over 30 cars on the lot from $1,500-$25,000. Then another transition happened when we took a bunch of truck accessories on a trade in. Right away we knew there was a big need for an accessory shop with installation in the area. We now offer thousands of vehicle accessories, tires, wheels, lift kits, performance parts, camper shells, running boards, and interior items. All are top brand names with no name prices and we offer installation on everything we sell.
In 2009, the automotive industry was struggling so, we were looking to diversify our business. We thought that a top brand zero turn mower would be a good fit for us, after all almost all the landscape companies in the area were already customers for their tow vehicles. That is when we signed a deal with Scag and have had the same explosive growth we experienced with the accessories. We have a full time shop to service most brands of 4 and 2 stroke equipment and are a warranty center for Briggs, Kohler, and Kawasaki engines. This side of our business is known as Turftastic, but currently operates out of the same building as Auto Authority.
I'd like to thank all those that have been with us since the start and welcome the rest of you to come in and let us serve you for all your vehicle and power equipment needs.
We also own and operate Turftastic from our location. That branch specializes in lawn and power equipment sales and repairs.

Sadly I have to sell my 501st approved Bossk to fund another project. You will get a complete Bossk, including the blaster. When I received this costume I needed to modify & add a few items to get it 501st approved. I am including all pics of before & after. I'm 5'11" & 195lbs. I wear a 10.5 shoe. I'm thinking the new owner could be as tall as 6'1". The boots/feet have about a 4" lift to add height. Also the helmet/mask adds another 4". Not too many Bossk's in the 501st, so you will stand out during a troop. I'm asking $2300 with shipping to the lower 48 States. I will ship International so please email me at email@example.com for a shipping quote and for any other questions for a faster response.

Exploring The Vastness Of Folk Music
"Folk is music you can play even when the lights go out."
"Folk is music you can play even when the lights go out."
Hi, Colin- Your show makes me laugh (in a good way!). My "Folkiness" goes back to the 60's - way before you were born, probably- when I got a Time-Life record of American Folk Music including Woody Guthrie and "Lead Belly" Leadbetter. Sadly, after several kids and a couple of moves, it's gone. Did anyone mention Old Songs? I know Susan has been there- I haven't in a while, but it's wonderful! French-Canadian, Zydeco, etc., etc.
I DARE you to check out the Bread Box Concerts on Valley St. in Willimantic- third Wednesdays, and Saturday nights as scheduled.Coming up- Aztec Two-Step, Pomfret Invasion (Howie Bursen, Sally Rogers, etc.) and many others. See you there! Check out the website- it's an amazing place- St. Paul's Episcopal Church, now owned by the Covenant Soup
Kitchen. All the profits go to the soup kitchen. See you there!
Hope somebody mentions New Bedford Folk Festival! It is our yearly destination!

Patterns of technological progress and corporate innovation
AbstractThe bulk of the global innovative effort takes place in 5 countries: USA, Japan and China as leaders, with France and United Kingdom as immediate followers, which all display, on the long run, a negative marginal value added on innovation. The present paper attempts to answer the following question: why does most of innovative activity takes place in markets apparently hostile to innovation, i.e. giving back negative marginal value added on innovation ? A model is introduced in which any market may be represented as a Selten's extensive game, subgames of which are played as Harsanyi's games with imperfect information, by a temporarily finite and changing set of players. The firms' innovative activity is a Nash's dynamic equilibrium in which innovating is rational though suboptimal, without premium on innovation being a real economic profit. The model is the theoretical framework for the study of six cases: Ford Motor, General Motors, Honda, Chevron, Akzo Nobel and IBM, which allow to conclude that firms do innovation either because they have to or because this is their comparative advantage and they can do it in an exceptionally efficient way. As economic growth is grounded in efficient business patterns and in some countries those business patterns shape themselves in the context of a strong exogenous pressure on innovation. This leads to the development of economies which, regardless its pace of economic growth and balance of payments, come to a point when marginal value added on innovation is negative. At this point, however, incentives to innovate do not disappear and firms continue to apply the same business patterns and thus do create scientific input which gives back negative marginal real output. This pattern of global technological progress seem to be quite durable, with financial markets that allow to compensate, by successful financial placements, the downturns of innovative projects.

Mali Claims Nigerian Troops Involved in Offensive Against Rebels, Nigeria Issues Denial
Nigeria has sent an air force technical team and the commander of a planned African-led force to Mali to assist the country's military as it battles Islamists, a presidency spokesman said Saturday.
"The technical staff from the Nigerian air force are already on the ground in Mali," Reuben Abati told AFP. "They are not fighters; they are technical staff." He added the commander of the planned African-led force, a Nigerian, was also in Mali.
But Nigeria has not sent troops to Mali despite claims that it was backing the country's army in an offensive against Islamists who control the country's north, a defence spokesman said Saturday.
"We have not sent anything," Colonel Mohammed Yerima told AFP. "Nothing. We have responded that we are going to send troops."
Yerima could not provide further details on when troops might be deployed or how many. Nigeria has previously spoken of sending 600 troops to take part in an African force to help Mali's army win back the country's north.
Mali's army said Nigerian and Senegalese forces were involved in Friday's offensive which was backed by French air power. Dakar has however also denied having any troops there.
The UN Security Council has approved a 3,000-strong force, but it is not expected to be ready to deploy before September.
The chairman of the west African bloc ECOWAS on Friday authorised the immediate deployment of troops, but gave no further details on how or when it would occur.
In a statement on Saturday, the head of the ECOWAS commission said "measures will be taken to implement this decision."
Nigeria has the largest military in the 15-nation Economic Community of West African States, but it is also battling an insurgency by Islamist extremist group Boko Haram in its northern and central regions.
The Islamists' advance in Mali has raised fears that the country could provide a safe haven for Al Qaeda-linked extremists, posing a threat to the region as well as Europe and beyond.

The German tuner Erturul Asma and his tuning company, ASMA Design, have taken the Mercedes McLaren SLR 722 to a new level with the carbon bodied ASMA Perfectus. The most striking feature of the modified SLR is the overwhelming use of carbon fiber. The Perfectus received a full carbon fiber wide body kit complete with thick arches that house one off 20 inch ASMA rims. The McLaren also receives a boost in horsepower thanks to a modified compressor, ECU and exhaust system. The Perfectus now makes 700 HP, up from the 626 HP from the factory, and is able to travel at a top speed of 217 MPH (248 km/h) for only 1 Million Euros (about $1.35 Million).
Press release and more pics after the jump.
Making claims of perfection is a dangerous thing to do, especially in the exclusive and demanding world of supercar tuning. But there is one man who can actually make this claim of perfection, and even go as far as to name his incredible automotive creation Perfectus. And this Designer is Erturul ASMA and this is his amazing, all carbon fiber ASMA Mercedes McLaren SLR 722.
Carbon is the customizing material of choice for hardcore tuners alike, but until the unveiling of Perfectus, no-one had truly used this most beautiful and powerful material to its full and awe-inspiring effect. But, as these stunning pictures can only prove, Erturul ASMA has taken the McLaren to entirely new levels of automotive theatre. In fact, thanks to Perfectus, you can forget about the world of top-end tuning here on Earth, and now, and only now, think in terms of an awesome new age of carbon customization.
Wide arch at over 2-metres in total width, with over 10cms of super-phat and super-sculpted carbon over each of the one-off ASMA rims, rims that are also mind-blowing in their dimensions. How does 325-25-20 out the back and 255-30-20 up front grab you? Hard! And once this stunning carbon design grabs you, it will never let you go. The wide 'n' wild completely custom carbon fiber bodywork is simply unmatched and unbeatable, anywhere in the world. Sharp, extra-aggressive F1-inspired bodylines take this SLR to whole new levels of road-presence; this SLR is always in full attack mode, making 700hp to back-up the ASMA Design styling.
Only Erturul ASMA can make and prove his claims of perfection, but he must also apologize… apologize to all the owners of standard SLRs everywhere, for there can be only one Perfectus.
Designed by Erturul ASMA

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I don't think this issue is dead by a long shot. Whether we get more for free or have to pay, upping the limit by one seems bizarre at best and kind of tactical as others also mentioned. I think they may have thrown the 11th slot out to see what people think about it. They admitted to using this tactic with something else on the forums. So let your voices be known people (constructively please) on their forums and who knows. Minimum should have been 12 though, one for Pandaren and one for monk.

West Roxbury's Anne Harvey Kilburn is known in the community for helping people. She led the launch of the West Roxbury chapter of the Neighbor Brigade. She recently got a new position and she talked about it with Patch.
Patch: You recently became a court-appointed special advocate or CASA for an organization called Boston CASA - what court appointed you?
Kilburn: I was appointed by the Suffolk County Juvenile Court
Patch: And what do you do as a CASA?
Kilburn: I act as a Guardian Ad Litem (GAL) for abused and/or neglected children who are in DCF (Department for Children and Families) custody and usually in a foster home. It's important to note that CASAs work on only one case at a time. I get to know the children by talking with everyone in their lives: the child, parents and relatives, foster parents, teachers, medical professionals, attorneys, social workers and others and then use the information to inform judges and others of what the child needs and what will be the best permanent home for them. For many abused children in the overburdened legal and social services systems the CASA volunteer is the one constant adult presence in their lives.
Patch: Why did you want to do this job? Is it paid?
Kilburn: A few years back I read a memoir by a young woman, Liz Murray, who was featured in a documentary called, "Homeless to Harvard." In her book, Breaking Night, she refers to a CASA who was a steady prescence in her life after she became homeless. Her CASA in New York City stood by her and encouraged her through some really difficult times. Her story left a huge impression on me. I knew I could do the work and that it would be really satisfying. It is a volunteer position.
Patch: What kind of background do you have that relates to this work?
Kilburn: You don't need a particular background. CASAs come from all walks of life. You do need to care about children and have common sense. You go through about 30 hours of training and have ongoing support from a program director or other professional who has a social work or legal background. You do have to pass a background check and agree to stay with a case until it is closed (about a year and a half on average). There are CASA programs throughout the country and some folks have been doing this work for over 20 years.
Patch: You're looking to spread the word through talking to state legislators? And you spoke with state Rep. Ed Coppinger recently - how did that go?
Kilburn: Yes, Boston CASA is very interested in getting more exposure. For years the program was funded through the Probation Department and then about a year ago, Boston CASA was cut from the budget. It is now a fully autonomous 501(C3) non-profit corporation. We do want to spread the word to local state legislators such as Rep. Coppinger, as well as the professionals who work with abused and neglected children.
I contacted Ed Coppinger about a month ago and he responded very quickly. The director of Boston CASA, Charles Lerner, and I met with him recently. He is very interested in the program and encouraged us to contact the other reps in Boston. We are planning a gathering early in 2013, with the goal of gathering all the Boston state reps to talk about this further. Boston CASA deserves and intends to get funding from the state. It's important to note that we held a fundraiser this past September and surpassed the goal, but we need sustainable funding to expand and strengthen the program.

Undergraduate Programs
Respiratory Therapy
Academic Requirements
Students must comply with the academic regulations and policies of Indiana University and the School of Medicine Health Professions Programs. Additionally, the following regulations and policies govern the professional portion of the Respiratory Therapy Program.
General Policies and Regulations
- Students are required to obtain a grade of C or higher in all professional course work.
- Students who receive a grade of C- or lower in a professional course may be dismissed from the program. Students who are dismissed may reapply for admission the following year with approval of the program faculty and the HPP Advisory Committee.
- Students must maintain American Heart Association Healthcare Provider Basic Life Support (BLS) status throughout their term in the Respiratory Therapy Program.
- A student will be placed on probation if the semester and/or cumulative GPA falls below 2.30.
- A student will be placed on probation if there is a failure to progress either academically or professionally. Probation resulting from a failure to progress is not limited to these examples:
- failure to maintain BLS status;
- poor attendance in classroom, clinical, or laboratory classes resulting in poor academic progress and performance;
- failure to meet academic standards as set forth in the course syllabus, such as failure to turn in papers and assignments, resulting in poor academic progress and performance;
- failure to conform to the American Association for Respiratory Care Code of Ethics and/or clinical performance characteristics as set forth in the Program Handbook and Clinical Syllabus;
- lack of clinical progress, failure to demonstrate clinical patient safety, or failure to advance through the clinical skills progression; or
- any critical incidence documentation for unsafe or poor clinical performance.
- As a condition of probation, the student will be notified of conditions and requirements necessary for remediation for continuation in the program. When the student satisfactorily completes all program requirements, as well as those stipulated by the school and university, and when the reason for the administrative action has been corrected or the deficiency remediated, the student will be returned to good standing. All probationary actions are reviewed at the end of each semester.
Upon the recommendation of the faculty in the student's program, a student may be dismissed from the school. Dismissal is based on the failure to meet academic or professional standards. The student will be informed of the dismissal in writing by the dean.
- A student may be dismissed from the program if a grade of C- or lower is recorded for any professional course.
- A student will be dismissed from the program if probationary status is continued for two consecutive semesters. In addition, once placed on probation, a student will be dismissed from the program if continued poor academic performance, unsafe or poor clinical performance, or unprofessional behavior is documented (including documentation of a critical incident).
- A student will be dismissed from the program if there is failure to complete the bachelor's degree within three years of the initial admission to the professional program.
Appeals Procedure
On occasion, students and faculty will have differing perceptions or accounts of situations or events. It is important for the parties directly involved to discuss their differences honestly in order to reach a solution. However, if no mutually satisfactory resolution can be reached in these discussions, the matter may be appealed in accordance with the school's appeals policy.

With recent scandals affecting the credibility of our national institutions during past legislatures, it seems that the public at large has full reason to question the accountability of the way our government departments operate. Unfortunately, students aren't all that better off especially since, quite simply put, the Board of Discipline that should be acting as a judicial body and watchdog towards KSU isn't even in line with the very statute it should be safeguarding.
Insiteronline has attempted to follow the normal path an aggrieved student would take to put forward a complaint to the board of discipline but found it inaccessible to say the least. Firstly, there is no mention of the identity of the members forming the board on KSU's website or anywhere else for that matter, except for Insite's live-feed during the last KSU AGM. An email was then sent to KSU asking for the identity of the members forming this board and whether they actually met up or not and, truth be told the results weren't too surprising.
Although a reply was given it not only was lacking in information but it also took 2 weeks and 5 days for an answer to be given from the time of writing. Whilst the identities of the members was provided the e-mail failed to -crucially- specify who was nominated as the Chairperson or Secretary amongst the members composing the board as highlighted in article 40.1.2 in KSU's statute.
Getting in touch with some of the boards' members (a total of 4) has also reaped unsatisfactory results. One member, who asked to remain anonymous, indicated that he had no recollection of ever meeting up in an official capacity highlighting that they -might- have met up once after the KSU AGM but wasn't entirely certain. This being affirmed by another member.
Reserve member and ex-Pulse executive member Ryan Spangol highlighted that he was never informed about things pertaining to meetings and new or pending cases. He opined that, being a reserve member he might not have been given all the information available but from his experience KSU has never attempted to get the board together. He described the system as '…being left jammed'.
In essence the above mentioned scenario is in itself self-defeating. Firstly, how can someone issue a complaint if the person responsible of taking care of complaints (the Secretary) isn't even nominated or even highlighted? The confusion alone would make the whole process seem futile.
Secondly, how can people trust a board that has, quite likely broken the statute from the start? Due to the lack of information provided it is very difficult to discern whether the board has actually met up or not and if in the negative the board is in breach of article 40.1.1 of the KSU statute. This highlights that the board must meet up not later than 3 weeks after the KSU AGM and nominate the aforementioned Chairperson and Secretary thus highlighting the importance of these two positions in terms of procedure.
Another element to consider is whether KSU have tried, in any way, to compel or interfere with the board's workings by encouraging its members to meet up. The board members that were queried all replied in the negative. Although some would disagree with me, I am inclined to believe that KSU shouldn't 'touch' the board at all. One basic principle of law is the 'nemo judex in causa sua' rule (one cannot be a judge of his own case) and any interference from KSU might be perceived as a breach of the board's 'independence' due to its interference.
Ultimately the situation regarding the board of discipline is not the fault of its members or of KSU itself but by the 'bloated' form the statute has imposed on it. There must not only be a greater visibility afforded to the board itself but the structure must also be streamlined and revised. How can the board's members be expected to set the board up when there isn't a starting line whatsoever?

Football reminds me of lazy Sundays with my dad, so even though I only know enough about football for people not to groan, I'm always excited for the Super Bowl.
For those of you who have been out of the loop this season, allow me to catch you up to speed: this Sunday's matchup of the Baltimore Ravens versus the San Francisco 49ers is interesting because it pits head coaches Jim and John Harbaugh against each other. Yes, you read right – Jim and John are brothers!
The Super Bowl is the ultimate football fan holiday, and no holiday is complete without a party full of good friends, delicious food and drinks, of course. If you're looking for ideas for a fun Super Bowl party, look no further – we have everything you need to keep the cheer going until the final touchdown.
The Colors
Designers, from left to right: Brian Patrick Flynn / Brian Patrick Flynn / Cortney and Robert Novogratz / Meg Caswell / David Bromstad / Emily Johnston Larkin / Judith Balis / Greta Goss
Nothing says fanfare like decking out your home in team colors. Conveniently, brothers serving as head coaches aren't the only two things tying these teams together. The Ravens and the 49ers also share glitzy gold (our January Color of the Month) as one of their team colors, but are divided between violet for the Ravens and scarlet for the 49ers. What's great about these color combos is that they look good all year, so feel free to make your Super Bowl decor a little more permanent.

More than 300 descendants of Confucius from across the world commemorated the sage on Sunday, Qingming Festival, or Tomb-Sweeping Day, in Qufu in east China's Shandong Province.
The commemorative ritual, exclusive to Confucius descendants as a family sacrifice, was one day after a grand commemorative ceremony staged by the local municipal government of Qufu, the sage's birthplace, one day earlier on China's traditional Tomb-Sweeping Day.
The descendants, all of whom bear Confucius' family name "Kong", followed their masters of ceremony to kowtow and serve offerings and incense sticks to his tomb.
"Kowtou is the traditional way to commemorate and to pay our respects to our ancestors," said Kong Zhong, vice chairman of the World Federation of Confucius' Descendants.
The ritual was held in the ancestral cemetery of Confucius family, known as Confucius Forest, listed with Confucius Mansion and Confucius Temple as a World Cultural Heritage site by UNESCO in 1994.
The participants mainly came from nine provinces and municipalities, including Shandong, Jiangsu, Shanghai and Beijing. Others came from Britain, Switzerland and other foreign countries.
Historical records showed commemorative ceremony of Confucius could date back to 478 B.C., the second year after the sage passed away.
Qufu, home to Confucius, resumed in the 1980s to hold a ceremony annually on Sept. 28 to commemorate the sage's birth.
Confucius, China's famed thinker and educator, was born in 551 B.C. in Qufu. His theories held sway as orthodox ideology in China for more than 2,000 years. He has at least three million descendants around the globe.

Cassey's Sample 1 Hour Gym Routine
First of all I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who was so super supportive of me yesterday. I read through all of your comments and I wish we could all have a big group hug. You lifted my spirit and I am forever grateful. I will be filming a POP Pilates full body workout today in appreciation. Excited?
Also! After all of your input on the App VS. DVD debate, I have decided that the app should come first. DVD later. Actually maybe even instead of a DVD I could do an iTunes download. Hmmm…but anyway! The POP Ambassadors and I will be think-tanking the features of the app and I will be asking for YOUR input from time to time on what you want in the ultimate fitness app. If anyone passionately wants to be a part of the app development, let me know, and maybe I'll make you ambassador of app development. Ha. I'm so good with naming things :P
Anyway!!! A lot of you ask me what I actually do at the gym. Well aside from teaching POP Pilates classes I lift weights and run. I haven't always been like that though! I start seriously lifting in April of this year-ish and running at the beginning of 2011. I started with just a mile a day. Then 2. Then 3. Then 4! Then I ran my first half marathon this September. I wouldn't say I LOVE running but it's an effective cardio workout. I used to kickbox for my cardio back in college. That seriously works too.
So here's a sample look at what I do before, during, and after a workout:
- Handful of almonds and dried cranberries an 1 hr before or 1/2 cup plain nonfat greek yogurt with half banana and 1 TBS sunflower seeds (1 hr before gym time)
- Hydrate throughout morning with water
WORKOUT PLAN (complete full circuit - repeat 4x):
1. Sumo squats x 25 with 40 lb EZ bar (picture below is not an EZ bar) - raises my heart rate, works butt, shoulders.
This is an EZ bar. See the indents in the middle? It's more comfortable for your hands. Oh and lifting gloves make all the difference.
2. Bicep curls x10 with 30 lb bar. Works biceps.
3. Single leg squat x 15 each leg with 50 lb bar on back. Go until butt touches bench. Keeps heart rate up. Works butt and legs.
4. Bulgarian Squat x 20 each leg with 50 lb bar on back. Keeps heart rate up and works butt and legs as well.
5. Alternating Medicine ball pushup x 25 on toes. Works chest, arms, and core.
6. Tricep dips x 25 with legs fully extended. Works triceps.
7. Clean and Press x 10-15 with 40 lb bar. Here is a video from diethealth on YouTube. Sarah is using 2 dumbbells but I used a bar. Form is still the same. Keeps heart rate up and works legs, butt, and core.
I repeat this routine 4x total. It takes me about 50 min to finish. Then I go on the treadmill and do a 10 min cardio blast.
Ten 30 sec sprints at 10mph. I go 30 sec on 30 sec off until my 10 min is up.
Then I'm done! Sweaty as can be!
I always try to eat within 30-60 min of finishing my workout to absorb essential nutrients for muscle building and loading up energy for the next day's workout. I might eat a banana protein pancake or broccoli with tofu and eggs or a sweet potato and some TVP, maybe a protein shake.
That's it folks!
I worked up to those above weights. Start light and add on…you don't want to hurt yourself. By the end of each set you should be near exhaustion. That's how you determine your proper weight for the exercises. Classes like BODYPUMP truly made me more confident with lifting. You could also hire a personal trainer to show you some moves too.
Do not be intimidated by the guys in the weight room. And don't be shy about the weights you're using. Everyone is just there to train hard and they only care about themselves anyway. So don't think everyone's critiquing what you're doing. Really, no one's looking…unless they can't take their eyes off you :P
What do your gym workouts look like?

Truck sketch done with copic markers.
Two quick character sketches in neutral gray copics.
One of Catwoman and one of Morgoth.
Female superheroes seem like they are often dressed in painted-on outfits that seem to have little function besides looking sexy, and I think that this has less to do with sexism as much as laziness. It is simply easier not to draw clothes and just at color and texture to the human form. This is a shame in my opinion, as I feel that a character's outfit can help tell their story, and a skin-tight bodysuit with a few colored stripes on it doesn't convey much of a narrative.
The in-story excuse for these fetish-model style costumes seems to be that the character is using their sex appeal as a distraction, or that they want to show off a healthy form. I would buy this for a couple of characters, but not for everybody.
Emma Frost is one of the few characters for whom I think sex appeal truly is part of their stratagem, so I wanted to design some outfits that would reflect that while telling the story of her background.
The Emma on the far left is just starting college, knows about her abilities, but doesn't fully control or understand them yet. The chaos this causes in her life will lead her to the leave college and begin work at the Hellfire Club, which is the second Emma drawn here.
The second Emma is a cocktail waitress/dancer at the Hellfire Club. She is beginning to discover her diamond-skin powers at this point, but so far it is mostly as cosmetic trick used in her "performances". I imagine Emma gaining mastery of her abilities during this stage of her life and using her psychic abilities to manipulate those around her.
The third Emma is calling the shots at the Hellfire Club at this point. Through her guile and mutant abilities, she has made it to the upper echelon of this organization and is now The White Queen.
The fourth Emma has expanded beyond the Hellfire club to run a business/criminal empire.
The fifth Emma is now associated with the X-Men, and her outfit reflects her change in role from a behind-the-scenes manipulator to a field operative and leader.
The sixth Emma is an older Emma, now a teacher and professor to younger mutants, hoping to set them on a less criminal path than the one she went down.
Any thoughts on these designs would be appreciated.
I hope to take this approach to more characters in the future, male and female.

Your business card looks really nice I think. And the Emma Frost designs look great.
Do watch your proportions when you draw people. In several, the faces take up too much space compared to the size of the actual head (not the Emma Frost ones, mainly the ones in post #11). Draw from life as much as you can!

Pesticides: who can use
The Environmental Protection Agency classifies all pesticides in one of two categories: general use and restricted use. A general-use pesticide means that any person who can read and understand the label may purchase and use the product.
A restricted-use pesticide requires a license to purchase, use, or provide to another for use. The words "restricted use" are printed on the label, and the retailer must request proof of license before selling the product.
The Colorado Department of Agriculture certifies two types of applicants to use restricted-use pesticides. A private applicator is a person who uses a restricted-use pesticide in the production of agricultural commodities on land owned or rented by that person. In Colorado, farmers, ranchers, orchardists and greenhouse operators are classified as private applicators.
Commercial applicator certification is required for those who receive compensation for applying restricted-use pesticides on another person's property.
Before selecting a pesticide, there are four steps to consider for successful pest management. Identify the pest. Determine if the number of pests present will cause an economic loss sufficient to justify chemical control. Evaluate all control options. And, if chemical control is warranted, choose the least toxic chemical.

Razorbacks notch fifth victory at Hayt
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. - The Arkansas men's team is picking up in the spring where it left off in the fall – in the winner's circle.
The Razorbacks captured the John Hayt Invitational with a final-round-best, 7-under 281 on Feb. 28, giving them an 8-over 872 total over 54 holes and a four-shot victory over Central Florida at Sawgrass Country Club.
Arkansas, which won four of its five starts in the fall season, is now 1-for-2 in the spring after a second-place finish at the SunTrust Gator Invitational earlier this month.
The Razorbacks, No. 8 in the Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings, started the final round in a three-way tie for second with Tennessee and North Texas, three shots behind 18th-ranked UCF. But four Razorbacks matched or bettered par in the final round, and three finished in the top 15, led by Ethan Tracy, who shot 4-under 68 Tuesday and finished third at 3-under 213. Teammates Sebastian Cappellen and Austin Cook tied for 15th at 4-over 220.
Host North Florida, ranked No. 16, finished third at 13-over 877, followed by Coastal Carolina in fourth at 883.
TCU players swept the top two individual spots, with Julien Brun winning medalist honors with a 5-under 211, one shot ahead of Johan de Beer. But the Horned Frogs duo received little help from their teammates, leaving TCU in a tie for fifth with North Texas at 885.
