2007 FAPRI Outlook shows impact of bioenergy expansion and trade resumption in meat products
The Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute's 2007 agricultural outlook presented March 6 to Congress shows the impact of bioenergy expansion and trade resumption in meat products. Despite high crude oil prices and various policy incentives, profit margins in bioenergy are expected to deteriorate. For example, FAPRI expects the world ethanol price to fall to $1.50 per gallon in 2007 in response to a 2.4 percent decline in the price of crude oil, and with declining U.S. ethanol net imports. FAPRI is an economic research group with centers at Iowa State and the University of Missouri-Columbia.

Cigarette Taxes and Smuggling
A Statistical Analysis and Historical Review
In this study, the authors consider cigarette smuggling from two angles. First, they employ a statistical model to estimate the degree to which cigarette smuggling occurs in 47 of the 48 contiguous U.S. states. Second, they review the historical experiences of three states — Michigan, New Jersey and California — known to have problems with cigarette smuggling. The author's findings suggest that state policymakers should reassess the value of cigarette taxes as a revenue and public health tool.

ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition Review
ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition Introduction:
ASUS has a history of building over the top boards for its ROG segment that not only look the part, but perform up to and beyond expectations. Each subsequent revision has just that little bit more to offer the end user in terms of functionality and general usability. Take for instance the ROG Rampage IV Extreme. It was the HALO board in ASUS' X79 product stack and at the time delivered excellent CPU and memory overclocking, not to mention top shelf quad graphics cards compatibility, if you were so inclined to use that feature set.
Fast forward to 2014 and ASUS has again upped the ante with the Rampage IV Black Edition. Since the X79 platform was released back in 2011, Intel has delivered another CPU (IVB-E) for use on the platform that opens up some additional tuning opportunities. Sure, you get the standard platform basics, and you can get these on just about any board out there, but for an ROG board just any average feature set would not do. ASUS' Extreme Engine Digi+ III all-digital voltage control sees an update with Black Wing chokes, 90% efficient NextFET MOSFETs, and 10K Black Metallic Capacitors. The board, as you might have surmised by the name, now gets the black out treatment with just a little red thrown in for good measure. ASUS takes an all-new approach to the cooling system for the Extreme Engine Digi+III power components through the use of a new heat sink design that wraps around the I/O ports for a unique look to go with the added cooling functionality.
The biggest change we see from the RIVE is the sound solution that can rival the sound quality you get from several of the discrete audio cards on the market. Things like Cirrus Logic CS4398 DAC, WIMA film capacitors, a stainless steel EMI protection cover, ELNA® premium audio caps, and a TPA6120A2 Hi-Fi headphone amp that all help to deliver that improved sound quality the end user is after.
At $499 the Rampage IV Black Edition is clearly designed for the end user looking for a specific feature set. The Rampage IV Black Edition delivers all the performance and overclocking features you could ever want wrapped up in a board that seems right at home in the office or in a custom water cooled, quad GPU-equipped high end gaming machine. Let's see what sets this board apart from the standard (if you could call it that) Rampage IV Extreme.
ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition Closer Look:
Dressed up in all-black like Dale Earnhart's familiar #3 (you NASCAR geeks will get that one), you get that same intimidator vibe when you get to view the packaging for the first time in person. Free with this iteration is a full version of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag to sweeten the pot. If you don't play it you have a bargaining chip to use with someone who does. Prominently displayed in the top left corner of the front of the package is the Republic of Gamers logo with the board name proudly across the mid section of the box. Along the bottom of the front panel ASUS highlights many, but not all, of the features of the board. Highlighted items are those specific to the target market and include both CrossfireX and NVIDIA SLI multi GPU technologies, support for socket 2011 Intel processors, and that the X79 chipset is still in play here.
The back side of the box illustrates the top level features, including the inclusion of the OC Panel (an ROG exclusive), SupremeFX on-board audio, enhancements to the Extreme Engine Digi+III voltage circuits, and that you do get 4-way GPU support. The specifications table takes up the majority of the room on the back panel, but the I/O panel gets a mention as well. The front panel opens up to give an almost unobstructed view of the RIVBE. Almost, because the OC Panel is packaged right over the PCB. The inner panel takes a deeper dive into the OC Panel's functionality while also showing that ASUS' 802.11ac WiFi Go wireless connectivity option is included with this offering.
Inside the box, the board comes in an open box covered with clear plastic holding the OC Panel. The board is an interesting piece on its own, but the accessory bundle that comes with it is absolutely huge. It's amazing it all fits (minus the OC Panel) in just one box. The list is basically everything you need to use all of the functionality on the Rampage IV Black Edition. To start, of course, you have the detailed manual, driver disc, SATA cable labels, and the product key for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. The main components used with the OC Panel include the OC Panel, cable to connect it to the PCB, 5.25-inch bay mount, and the attachment screws. More to come on the OC Panel. You get a total of 10 SATA data cables(four 3Gbps and six 6Gbps), SLI bridge connections for 2-, 3-, or 4-way SLI configurations. You get the 2T2R 802.11a/b/g/n/ac compliant Wi-Fi Go antenna, a single Crossfire bridge connection, case badge, Q-Connectors, Q-Shield, ROG Connect cable, and lastly the X-Socket bracket that allows the user to re-purpose a socket 1366 compatible CPU heat sink.
The ASUS OC Panel or Overclocking Command center is an add-on device that was built to take some of the hardcore overclocking components off the PCB and put them in a tool that works across platforms to provide that overclocking experience and feature set without adding additional cost to the board. Connecting directly to a header on the PCB and to a SATA power header off the power supply, you get a tool that can be as mundane as a temperature and clock speed readout with some basic bclk and fan speed functionality in a 5.25-inch bay device. On the other hand, pulling the OC Panel out of the bay bracket assembly you get a tool that will allow you to get the most out of your hardware. Features include a 2.6-inch LCD display; Sub Zero sense that allows for granular temperature measurement using K-type probes; VGA hot wire support for use on supported video cards; four PWM controlled fan headers; Slow Mode switches; remote power and reset buttons; and up, down, and horizontal scrolling buttons with a center apply button. As an added accessory you don't get much better.
The package and accessories let you know you have something special with the Rampage IV Black Edition. The key is how well does it deliver against that expectation? If it's anything like the Rampage IV Extreme we should be in good hands.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The members of the Lipscomb softball team won't soon forget the 2013 season.
There were hills and valleys both on and off of the field. But through it all the Purple and Gold rallied and finished the season as one of the hottest teams in the Atlantic Sun Conference, winning 10 of their last 11 regular season conference games.
They finished 35-24 overall, marking the fifth straight season with more than 30 wins under coach Kristin Ryman who also broke the school's all-time victory mark for softball as a head coach. The 18 conference wins tied regular season champion North Florida. But LU's conference winning percentage placed them fourth.
The one thing the players and coaches will carry into their preparations for the 2014 season is the bitter taste of the way this season ended. Three dramatic wins, including two in extra innings, placed the Lady Bisons in the championship game in the A-Sun Tournament on Draper Diamond, their home field. LU needed only one win over USC Upstate to earn their second berth in the NCAA Tournament. But it was not to be as the Lady Bisons fell 4-1 in game one and 7-5 in game two.
"It is the old debate of would you rather get run-ruled in that setting or lose under the circumstances that we did," Ryman said. 'There are probably pros and cons to each, but I think that going down fighting is better than going down not fighting.
"It was so close that everybody could taste it. I hope and feel like our players are leaving town and going home for the summer with that feeling. No one wants to talk about, but none of us want to feel like this again. None of us want to again feel what is like to be so close to reaching that goal and doing what we had set out to do all year long and coming up short."
The question for each player to consider during the summer is, "how do you avoid it happening again?"
"I really feel like the motivation is going to be there this summer to really get after it and not do this again next year," Ryman said. "But the conference keeps getting better. It is not going to get any easier."
A-Sun softball is at its highest level in terms of overall talent. And with so much parity in the conference it is not always who has the best team that influences wins and losses.
"Down the stretch we had some clutch moments with key hits and key pitches from our kids," Ryman said, "They were right on cue. So much of this is timing.
"Everybody is talented and we know that. It is not always the most talented team that wins games. It is the team that plays the best that day under whatever the circumstances might be."
Ryman think victories are going to go to the team that is the toughest mentally.
"If we come back this fall having taken some steps forward physically then we can jumpstart our work on the mentality of the game," Ryman said.
"We will go to work to make sure we are handling pressure well.
"The mental game is one of those areas that you are either going to buy into or you are not. I think we are also going to continue to push players physically and get the most out of them. We are going to find out how important winning is for them."
This past season center fielder Bree Thurman was the lone senior. For 2014 there will be a heavy veteran presence with Kelsey Cartwright, Bridgette
Begle, Kristen Sturdivant, Haley Elliott, Rena' Cothron, Ashley Anderson and Heather Parker.
"That group should use how close we were to the championship this season as motivation," Ryman said. "Even after the struggles we went through this year we were playing the best when it mattered the most."
In Ryman's viewpoint the big thing for her players to consider is, "Can they handle the pressure?"
"I would hope that moments like the championship games can prove to everybody how vital the mental game and being able to perform under pressure are," Ryman said. "Everybody wants to say, `I am tough', but when they happen can you really handle moments like that? I am kind of excited to work on that aspect of the game even more.
"If we are going to get beat I would rather get beat physically than mentally. "There are a lot of lessons to be learned from this season as players, coaches, as a group and as family. There are things we don't want to happen again in future years. There are things that were good that we want to continue to build off of next season. We have the potential to have a really special group again."

Countering cut blocking?
I saw this question asked in another thread and it was never answered and I searched the site and didn't find anything that came up.
Is there a viable counter/strategy to cut blocking? I know this seems to happen a lot to Campbell (from the Iowa game), Martin, Suh and I just don't have the football accumen to figure out what an opposing defense can do in that instance.
So any coaches/players/educated observers out there have any insights into this?

Dear Gary,
Talk about a vicious cycle! Budgets are down so fewer DVDs can be bought
which means prices have to be kept high. We are such a long way from Lyndon
Johnson's education funds for A-V materials in the 1960s that we have
reached rock-bottom and still sinking. The answer, I'm afraid, might be
fewer films of quality, fewer filmmakers making a living, fewer
distributors, and of course, a perceived lack of need for A-V curators since
"everything is on the web." AT THE SAME TIME, my old boss at Kino always
said that the film business has always been in cycles and we just may be too
shortsighted at any point to see the curve up or down. For all of our sakes,
let's hope we rise up!
Personally, I'm really, really sorry for your position. You're one of the
good ones.

Jeff Carter helps Kings defeat Blue JacketsNHL.com @NHLdotcom
Jeff Carter was getting booed by the opposing fans even before he scored from behind the goal line.
Cater had one of the Los Angeles Kings' three second-period goals against his former team, the Columbus Blue Jackets, in a 4-2 win Tuesday night.
Carter, signed by Columbus as a free agent but traded last February, 39 games into his first season with the Blue Jackets, broke a 1-1 tie by scoring from behind the net. After goalie Steve Mason failed to control a rebound, Carter gathered the puck and flipped a shot that deflected in off the skate of defenseman Fedor Tyutin.
Carter was booed consistently by the crowd of 11,019 at Nationwide Arena.
"You just go out and you play your game," Carter said. "It's a huge game for us, for both teams. We both need wins, so it was a big one."
The defending Stanley Cup champions were coming off a 7-4 loss to the Anaheim Ducks and are now 3-3-2.
Anze Kopitar and Slava Voynov also scored during the dominant second period, when Los Angeles outshot Columbus 17-2.
Voynov's goal made it 3-2 at 10:26. His long shot from inside the blue line on the right-wing boards sailed past two Blue Jackets on its way inside Mason's right post.
Carter's high-sticking penalty against Vinny Prospal gave the Blue Jackets a four-minute power play early in the third period, but Columbus managed just one shot on goal during the long advantage.
"I've talked about how your power play can create positive energy," Columbus coach Todd Richards said. "That four minutes were really just draining the clock. We spent more time working back to our zone than we did in the offensive zone. Our execution wasn't good. Credit to them and what they did, but we had to be better in that area. It was an opportunity we let slip away."
Derek McKenzie's first goal of the season gave Columbus a 1-0 lead at 13:02 of the first period. He chipped a deflection off defenseman Rob Scuderi past Jonathan Quick.
Kopitar tied the game in the opening minute of the second period before Carter's fluky goal. Columbus answered at 5:36 with a backhand goal from the slot by Derrick Broussard, who converted a pass from Tim Erixon.
Later in the period, Blue Jackets forward Brandon Dubinsky picked up 20 penalty minutes and Kings forward Mike Richards got 19 after fighting following Dubinsky's check of Scuderi into the end boards. Dubinsky received majors for boarding and fighting, plus a game misconduct.
Scuderi was shaken up but remained in the game.
Richards scored the final goal at 13:44 of the third, tipping in another goal-bound puck off Tyutin's skate from the crease. Justin Williams had his third assist.
"It's good to see [Williams] score points," Kings coach Darryl Sutter said. "It's good to see [Richards] score. Hopefully that's a step for them."

Coolbaugh Township may have to decide sooner rather than later whether it will stick with the Pocono Mountain Regional Police Department.
Coolbaugh Township may have to decide sooner rather than later whether it will stick with the Pocono Mountain Regional Police Department.
John Kerrick, chairman of the department's police commission, told the Coolbaugh Township Board of Supervisors on Tuesday he expects to hear an answer from the township on Feb. 12 concerning whether it intends to stay with the department or leave it.
That's the scheduled date for the next police commission meeting.
Kerrick said he expects the same from Mount Pocono borough. Both municipalities sent the commission "intent to withdraw" from the department letters in December.
Coolbaugh supervisors have said it is not their immediate intention to leave the department at the end of the year, but instead to explore every option for its police protection.
Coolbaugh is the largest of the four municipalities in the department, and at $2.1 million a year, is responsible for about 42 percent of the department's budget.
According to the department's charter, the municipalities have until the end of the year to decide. However, Kerrick said there is too much to prepare for concerning the future of the department to wait until the end of the year.
The commission is facing contract negotiations with the department's union and would need the next 11 months to prepare for a department that could lose half of its four municipalities.
"It's time to pony up," Kerrick said. "We're going to try to hold them to that (date). We know there are issues, and we want to work through them and get everyone on board. But we need to know the future of the department."
Kerrick, also the chairman of the Tobyhanna Township Board of Supervisors, said his township and Tunkhannock Township, the other two municipalities covered by the department, are committed to staying on, with or without the two other municipalities.
If they were forced to go it alone, or even if one municipality were to leave, Kerrick said, it would take the rest of the year, at least, to shape what would be left of the department.
"We'll have to move on," he said. "There is a lot to plan and take care of. But our first choice is to have everyone together in the department."
Both Kerrick and Chief Harry Lewis said the department would be keeping "all options open" if any municipalities were to leave, including recruiting another nearby municipality to join the force.
"I believe in what we have and the service (the department) provides, and I'm going to defend it," Kerrick said.
The Pocono Mountain Regional Police Commission will meet at 7 p.m. Feb. 12 at the regional police headquarters.

People have been speculating all over the place about the co-marketing partnership between Square Enix and Microsoft that has been going on for a while to promote Final Fantasy XIV: A Ralm Reborn and Internet Explorer 10, and today it brought another piece of artwork by Lead Character Designer Akihiko Yoshida.
In addition to that a new screenshot shows new UI systems.
I know nothing has been announced yet but with the re-branding/name change what are the chances of a 360 version being in the cards?
It was originally announced by Jack Trenton himself that FF14 was console exclusive to the PS3 but that was years ago and under the title of FF14 Online, not FF14:A realm Reborn
It never got its PS3 release and now we're waiting on ARR, I'm pretty sure it's still exclusive but with the re-branding what's stopping them from changing their minds about it if Microsoft made an offer?
Just random thoughts, been waiting years for this freakin game -_-

Wow, what a concept! How surprising people are motivated to work harder if they know there's more money in it for them, and not to work so hard if they are going to earn the same no matter what. Yeah I'm sure it's only ugly Americans who think like that, everybody else gives 100% just for a fair wage.
Well certain cultural attitudes actually supercede $ incentive based motivations. I went diving in Okinawa and my fin strap broke. My dive guide, without me even asking, went the next day by bus to get me that replacement strap and fixed it. Did not charge me transport fee or labor, just the cost of the fin strap. My US instincts said tip...the local custom said no. A very sincere thank you was all Aya needed.
I agree that by and large, the world is becoming more incentive based, but $$$ isn't the only incentive. Pride, cultural practices etc all come into play. And that's why respecting the local culture is important.

The Future of OpenOffice.org: With the Apache Foundation providing a new home, the question in many peoples' minds has been whether the bruised and abused remnant of the OpenOffice project would be able to get back on its feet, dust itself off, and regain its prior importance in the marketplace. Last week, the Apache Foundation put out a press release on this very subject.

Prez Obama: You know, ah, uh, I, I thought the, you know, the truth is a lot of the Cubs I like too. But um, I did not become a Sox fan until I moved to Chicago, because, I, I, because I, you know, I was growing up in Hawaii, so I ended being a Oakland A's fan....

Obama: I like White Sox, no the A's!

D005 News / Committee / Bio - Fred Durhal III
In the Legislature, Durhal has utilized his passion for education, community stabilization and civil rights to serve the people of House District 5. Prior to his election, he served as an AmeriCorps volunteer in Northwest Detroit as the director of a literacy program for young children. He has also collaborated with Village Builders of Northwest Detroit and Motor City Blight Busters to help stabilize neighborhoods within the city. In 2011, Durhal joined other leaders to fight Michigan's controversial emergency financial manager law in Benton Harbor and across the state.
Public service is in Rep. Durhal's blood. The son of former state Rep. Fred Durhal Jr., he was exposed early to civic affairs. Before starting his first term, he had already spent time on the floor of the Michigan House of Representatives, in committees and around the Legislature.
Durhal is also a product of a good public education. He is a graduate of Detroit Public Schools, attending Guyton Elementary, Spain Middle School and Detroit School of the Arts. He later attended Eastern Michigan University, where he studied political science and music education.
Currently, Rep. Durhal is a member of the Detroit Branch of the NAACP, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition and is a former member of the Teamsters Local 377. He previously served on the board of the Dexter Elmhurst Community Center.

Retirement for some seniors is a chance to do something good with their time, something they may not have otherwise done if they were still committed to Monday through Friday jobs. Residents at Woodland Pond, a senior living community in New Paltz, are taking advantage of this newfound free time by initiating a project that they hope will enhance the lives of fellow residents. This group of residents sought to build a scenic viewing platform at the end of a natural trail that extends from the back of the community down to a small pond. The committee of residents that executed the project hosted a dedication ceremony on September 24 during National Active Aging Week. Douglas McBride, Trina Greene, Ray Smith and Anne Smith, all leaders of the project, enjoyed the ceremony and are encouraging everyone to check out the new platform.
"I was in the wooded area where the viewing platform would eventually be built, walking alongside the conservation stewardship officer from Wallkill Valley Land Trust, when the idea of building a viewing platform came to mind," said Doug McBride, a resident at Woodland Pond. "I really enjoy spending time outdoors and I feel it is important to explore the world around us. I like to go down there by the pond and observe the wildlife, insects, birds, butterflies, dragonflies, migrating water fowl and the beavers that call the pond home. I initiated the project, as I wanted to share my experiences with others so they too could enjoy what I have come to love. It also gives the residents an opportunity to do something active."
The Woodland Pond Residents Council started the Mill Brook Preserve Committee in February 2011. In May the committee decided to initiate the viewing platform project. The whole process took two years to complete. The Bruderhof, a community that performs pro bono public service, provided the labor for the project. Trina Greene, a resident at Woodland Pond and current chair of the committee, led the fundraising efforts and was able to collect $5,000 from 50 residents in 3 weeks for this project. The money went toward the required materials to build the platform.
"We have a gorgeous pond behind the community that is deep down in the woods," expressed Ray Smith, a resident at Woodland Pond. "The trail existed before we built the platform and the actual building of the platform did not take very long at all. There were a lot of approvals, applications, fundraising, building permits and other forms of red tape that extended the length of the project. We are all delighted that the project is finally finished. I've taken many residents down there to see the platform and the scenic view already. I am eager to share this with anyone that I can."
The committee purchased two benches with the remaining funds for the purpose of offering places to stop and rest on the way to the platform. One bench is placed at the trailhead, and the other is halfway between the trailhead and the platform. The platform itself has two built-in benches. The platform will have a plaque honoring The Bruderhof. One of the benches will have a plaque honoring the residents who made the platform possible.
"It is beautiful and well constructed," said Anne Smith, a resident at Woodland Pond. "Everyone worked really hard on the project and it shows. We wanted to give people a place to go that is beautiful, peaceful and quiet. Birdwatchers will appreciate it, as well as those who are fond of nature. We also wanted to encourage people to exercise and enjoy the outdoors."
"This new viewing platform is an excellent feature for residents to enjoy," said Robert Seidman, executive director at Woodland Pond. "We are all very impressed by the committee's work and devotion to the project. Their motivation made this idea a reality."

"You lying so low in the weeds, I bet you gonna ambush me." — as sung by Heart in the 70s hit "Barracuda." And this is exactly how barracuda's hunt for their prey, using stealth and speed.
Barracudas are long, lean hunting machines with sleek bodies that allow them to slice through the water at high speeds (40mph), puncturing schools of unaware fish.
Turneffe Atoll — the largest and most biologically diverse atoll in the Western Hemisphere — is packed tight with the largest mangrove system in Belize, ideal for barracuda. The thick underwater fauna acts as a feeding ground for other wildlife, unawares of the barracuda's presence.
Of the 27 varieties of barracudas there is one that stands out above the rest — the Great Barracuda, which can grow up to almost 6.5 feet (2 meters) in length and weigh as much as 83 pounds (37 kg).
Add to this a jaw full of teeth that cut like razor blades and you have a fish that is highly evolved to rule the underwater depths. The fish has been around and honing its skills for some 50 million years.
Strangely, humans have been known to fall ill after eating barracuda, people often become ill from ciguatera fish poisoning, perhaps because the reef fish that barracudas eat themselves consume algae that may contain high levels of the toxin.
Barracudas feed on an array of fish such as groupers, small tunas and grunts. They tend to be solitary but have been fond hunting in small groups and are common in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, not to mention large parts of the Atlantic Ocean.
The waters of Belize and particularly Turneffe Atoll are therefore a vital habitat for the barracuda and subsequently one of the best places to see the torpedo-like fish. Check out the website: http://www.blackbirdresort.com

CHARLESTON, SC (WCSC/AP) - Hundreds of people turned out in downtown Charleston on Monday to celebrate the life of Martin Luther King Jr.
In Columbia, people rallied as well outside the capitol to honor the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday and protest the state's voter identification law.
While rallies in previous years have often been focused on protesting the Confederate flag that flies outside the Statehouse near a memorial for Confederate soldiers, the attention this year has turned to the voter ID law.
The U.S. Justice Department has rejected the law. The Obama administration said it didn't pass muster under the 1965 voting rights act, which outlawed discriminatory practices that prevented blacks from voting. On Monday, marchers carried signs that read: "Voter ID(equals)Poll Tax."
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder was among those slated to speak.
William Barber, president of the North Carolina NAACP, spoke during a morning prayer service and left little doubt that the law would be the day's focus. He spoke of the many black pioneers who gave their lives so their children and grandchildren could vote, referring to civil rights icons like Medgar Evers. He also referred to three South Carolina State University students gunned down by police during a civil rights protest in 1968.
Barber said it was a critical time to make sure hard-fought voting rights are not lost.
"We are here to stand up, not to back down," Barber said.
Several other states have enacted laws similar to the one passed in South Carolina, which requires voters to show a photo ID before casting ballots. Texas, Alabama, Kansas, Mississippi, Rhode Island, Tennessee and Wisconsin are among them.
Such laws already were on the books in Georgia and Indiana, and they were approved by President George W. Bush's Justice Department. Indiana's law, passed in 2005, was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2008.
Critics have likened the laws to the poll taxes and tests used to prevent blacks from voting during the civil rights era. Supporters, many of whom are Republicans, say such laws are needed to prevent fraud.
In Holder's prepared remarks Monday, which were released by his office before he spoke, the nation's top attorney pledged to make the nation's elections system more accessible to U.S. citizens. Holder disagreed with those who say parts of the Voting Rights Act are no longer necessary.
"I wish this were the case. But the reality is that — in jurisdictions across the country - both overt and subtle forms of discrimination remain all too common," he said.
"And though nearly five decades have passed since Dr. King shared his vision from the mountaintop — despite all the progress we've made, the barriers we've broken down, and the divisions we've healed — as a nation, we have not yet reached the Promised Land."
Cities across the U.S. were hosting rallies and other events to mark the holiday. In Washington, President Barack Obama and his family were commemorating the day with a volunteer service project at a local school. The family greeted volunteers and then helped build bookshelves in the school's library. The president said there was no better way to celebrate King's life than to spend the day helping others.
Washington is home to the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial, where some braved temperatures around 30 degrees Monday to visit the 30-foot statue of King.
Dorothy Drake, 61, and her sister Beulah Ashby, 59, were visiting the memorial from North Carolina. The women both went to segregated schools as children and remembered not being able to eat inside certain restaurants, sitting on the back of the bus, and not being allowed to stay in certain hotels.
Ashby said she was proud that King now stands among the presidents honored with memorials in the nation's capital.
"I woke up this morning, and it gave me great joy to know that I was coming here," Ashby said. "I know it's a piece of stone, and I know it's one man, but it was just pride. Pride. Happiness. Joy, in just knowing that I could come and just have a piece of that history, the changing in the world."

Barack Obama was truly eloquent at the rainswept memorial service for Nelson Mandela in Soweto. He spoke words of power and depth and passion – and he spoke with a gesture, too.
This sodden picture has a rough ungainliness that makes it feel far from contrived, yet surely Obama must have considered his action carefully. After decades of chill that once brought the world close to war, an American president shakes hands in this already-historic photograph with Raúl Castro, president of Cuba.
Shaking hands is the modern world's most potent public gesture, a symbolic acknowledgement of mutural respect. It is democratic because it is a linking of individuals on equal terms. Bowing to monarchs and doffing caps belong to earlier ages that believed in hierarchies. The handshake is the visual language of a world that at least aspires to be egalitarian. It also has the advantage that it retains the formality of yesteryear. It's not like kissing someone in public, or embracing. No close bodily contact is made. It is just two hands briefly joined – which makes the handshake a perfect visual expression of rapprochement between old foes who may still not trust each other as far as a springbok can jump.
Obama showed in his speech how deeply he admires and how much he has thought about Mandela (even if his posing for a selfie later with David Cameron and the Danish prime minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt somewhat undermined the gravitas). So it is not fanciful to wonder if his unexpected handshake across history's dividing lines is a very precise homage to his hero. Mandela's life has come to stand for the kind of imaginative, generous defiance of apparent bitter destinies so beautifully summed up by that public handshake between the American and Cuban leaders. Yet there is more to it – for handshakes were one of Nelson Mandela's simplest ways of breaking down divisions.
In May 1990, just three months after he was released from his 27-year prison sentence for fighting apartheid, Mandela was photographed shaking hands with apartheid's last president, FW de Klerk. They'd just signed the agreement that would lead to apartheid's end. Mandela – as Obama pointed out in his speech – was no inhuman saint, no spiritual ascetic, and yet this fighter preached peace better than all the world's religions. Again and again, he crossed planets with a handshake. Such an easy natural gesture. Picture after picture shows him shaking hands with his former jailers.
Obama may have been deliberately recreating one of Mandela's own most useful gestures in his moment of human contact with the president of Cuba. In the picture, as he leans down towards an apparently surprised Castro, he comes across as he did in his speech as the only world leader capable of stepping up to an occassion whose historic weight he himself eruditely assessed - comparing Mandela rightly not only with Gandhi and Martin Luther King but also with Abraham Lincoln and America's Founding Fathers.
The America civil war in which Lincoln upheld the union and human rights ended when the two opposing generals, Ulysses S Grant and Robert E Lee, shook hands in Appomattox court house, Virginia on Palm Sunday 1865. Can the handshake at the FNB stadium end the freeze between America and Cuba that is one of the last legacies of the Cold War?
It would be a fitting memorial for Nelson Mandela – or at least the start of one. His legacy has to be more than words. Piety is not enough. Nor is it good enough for old veterans of the anti-apartheid movement to endlessly prod at the injustice of rightwingers joining in adulation of Mandela. He really was the kind of leader who only comes once in a millennium and in former ages, a religion would probably have been built around him. A world worthy of Mandela is something to hope for. A handshake is a good place to start.

If you've been listening to The Non-Prophets in the past year (and if not, why not??) then you already know that we are no fans of the so called "Men's Rights" movement. Occasionally the MRA movement might support a worthwhile principle purely by accident, but in practice it is primarily a movement which is to gender as White Pride groups are to race. The civil rights activist organization Southern Poverty Law Center classifies several MRA sites as hate groups.
My wife and I were chatting last night about some statistics I saw recently. As this post on Stephanie Zvan's blog notes, MRA's [edit: surveyed on Reddit, so a heavily self-selected sample] are approximately:
- 92% male
- 87% white
- 35% aged 17-20 (estimated overall median age 20)
- 70% no religion
The fact that so many MRA's are with us in the non-religion crowd should be, in my view, hugely embarrassing to atheists. Numbers higher on the page imply that the "no religion" number may be as high as 94%, but I'll go with the reduced 70% number, which is still pretty disproportionate to the number of non-religious people overall. 16% of the general United States population consider themselves religiously unaffiliated.

Boulder Weekly & Grateful Web are proud to present Perpetual Groove at the Fox Theatre on Saturday, February 11th. Tickets are on sale now for $13.00 in advance & $15.00 day of show.Perpetual Groove announce the return of original keyboardist, Matt McDonald!! The band's original line up has returned and is ready to hit the road. Don't miss the sound and show that is created when these musicians hit the stage together at the Fox Theatre!!Rising out of the low country of Savannah, GA in 2001, Perpetual Groove has grown quickly into a formidable international touring organization. Now based in Athens, GA, the band continues to ride an unending wave of momentum buoyed by an enthusiastic fan base and international critical acclaim.Perpetual Groove released their first album, Sweet Oblivious Antidote, in 2003 on Harmonized Records after their first year of solid touring. Besides being the top seller for The Home Grown Music Network that year (it out-sold releases by Phish, Widespread Panic, and others), it was also voted HGMN Top Fan Pick for 2003. The buzz only got bigger on the 2004 follow-up record, All This Everything, which was produced by Grammy award-winner Robert Hannon. LiveLoveDie, their third record was released in March of 2007 and represents a significant evolutionary departure in style for Perpetual Groove. Teaming up once again with Hannon and Tree Sound Studios, the band set forth to create a darker sonic landscape without sacrificing too much of that "PGroove quality" thanks in part to Butler's warm, soaring vocals.-Perpetual Groove

In the era of Jamie Foxx, Serious Movie Star, it's easy to forget that the Oscar winner got his start as a comedian. But Foxx proved last night that he's still got the comedy bug, preening and mugging like the ex-In Living Color cast member he is — and while his overly confident persona may have seemed grating to some, a host who tries too hard is always preferable to a host who doesn't try hard enough. (Just compare Daniel Craig to Lindsay Lohan, and you'll see what I mean.)
The night kicked off with a politically-charged cold open, the only sketch of the night that didn't feature Foxx. It was pretty standard stuff, with Jay Pharoah's Obama acting like a sympathetic schoolteacher and Bill Hader's John Boehner filling the role of miserable, bullied student. (Apparently, the Republicans have been putting rubber snakes in the Speaker's desk and inviting him to nonexistent pizza parties to punish him for the fiscal cliff negotiations.) While the sketch drove home how much sharper The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are when it comes to fiscal cliff comedy, Hader's Boehner face — he looked like a disgruntled caveman — made the whole thing worthwhile.
The cold open led into a night of racially-charged comedy, beginning with Foxx's monologue — a mashup of '90s-style standup ("How black is that?!") and, of course, singing. At least 2 Chainz randomly appeared to liven things up, though I wish he'd brought a big booty ho along with him. The night's first sketch — and first game show parody — cast Foxx as the contemptuous host of a series called Bitch, What's the Answer? Taran Killam, Nasim Pedrad, and Bobby Moynihan in a truly great Christmas sweater played the genial, mostly white (Pedrad's Iranian) contestants tasked with answering Foxx's impossible questions. Bitch had a few high points — Foxx specifying that Pedrad was a "lady bitch;" "Where Jupiter?" — but it mostly served to prove that using "bitch" as comic punctuation has really run its course. Bitch.
When Kristen Wiig left SNL at the end of last season, most of the show's established recurring sketches went with her. One exception: "J-Pop America Fun Time Now," the fake TV show starring Killam and Vanessa Bayer as two Japan-obsessed American college students. It's been long enough since the sketch last appeared for Bayer's anime eyes, Killam's wig, and the pair's cultural insensitivity — putting a "traditional ninja star" on top of their Ja-Kwanza bonsai tree — to be amusing again. Foxx was also pretty good as a smooth karate master who looked like the villain from The Last Dragon.
But he was even better in the pre-taped bit that followed, a trailer for Tyler Perry's next Alex Cross film: Tyler Perry's Alex Cross 2: Madea, Special Ops. It's the first buddy cop movie to star just one actor! Foxx revealed that he can do a pitch-perfect Madea voice while running around in an outfit that was half sober suit, half house dress — not to mention half a wig and half a pair of glasses. You don't have to know anything about Tyler Perry's movies to get a few laughs out of this clip:

Denver Public Library, Western History Collection [P-2134]
Horace Swartley Poley
Between 1830 and 1870, nearly seventy thousand Native Americans were relocated to Oklahoma from their homes in Georgia and other Southern states. Many had adopted a lifestyle similar to that of their white neighbors. For some, that included enslaving black people. At least ten thousand African Americans walked on the Trail of Tears, and 175 died on the way to an unfamiliar life on the American plains.

Plans to renovate and open The Powerhouse are progressing (see the latest renderings).
The Sports Center
Hours and availability of the Sports Center and its facilities
Flood Arena
Flood Arena was the centerpiece of the new Beloit College Sports Center when it was dedicated on February 6, 1987. Previously, the Bucs had played their games in the Marvin Field House, which was built in 1947. Named after James (class of '49) and Joan Dahlquist (class of '47) Flood, who provided the lead gift for the construction of the facility, "The Flood" features three full-sized basketball courts when fully open. It has seating for 2,250 when both large bleacher sections are pulled out to the main court. In the Fall of 2007, the Arena was re-painted and the Floods made an additional donation to fund two large main court scoreboards as well as scoreboards on each side court, buzzer-activated, lighted backboards and new baseline padding. In addition, the sound system was upgraded and enhanced lighting fixtures installed. During the summer of 2010 the floor was redone, featuring new logo work.
Kresge Natatorium
The six-lane, 25-yard facility was constructed in 1956. Renovation was done in 1989, thanks to a grant from the Kresge Foundation. A new observation window on the main floor of the Sports Center was added at that time. There is spectator seating for approximately 200 on the South side of the pool.
Strong Stadium Complex
(The Strong Stadium Complex, which is home to Buccaneer Football, Baseball, Tennis, Softball and Soccer, is located east of the College. Take Chapin Street East, which leads directly into the Stadium Complex.)
Strong Stadium
Since the 1934 season, the Buccaneers have called Strong Stadium their home. Located just a few blocks east of the Beloit College campus, the stadium was a gift of Mrs. Josephine Strong in memory of her husband, Walter Ansel Strong ('05), a trustee of the college for almost two decades and the former publisher of The Chicago Daily News. Given Mr. Strong's long and supportive relationship with his Alma mater, as well as his interest in athletics, it seemed most fitting that the stadium be named in his memory after his sudden death in 1931. The site was known as Keep Field from 1890-1915 and then Hancock Field from 1915-34 before gaining the name it has had for 70-plus years. As designed by Maurice Webster, Mrs. Strong's brother, the stadium's contemporary poured concrete construction and series of intriguing ramps and passages represented a sharp departure from the Victorian and Georgian facades of most previous campus architecture. The then-1,600 seat stadium was dedicated on October 13, 1934, with much fanfare and served two years later as the setting for the city's centennial observance for several nights running. Besides football contests, the stadium also hosted the Beloit Relays, a premier midwestern college track & field meet which was initiated in 1937, as well as serving as an outdoor cathedral for religious services held in conjunction with a national meeting of Congregational and Christian church delegates. Over time, improvements were gradually made, including updated locker rooms and heating and cooling systems in 1964. Gradually, the stadium capacity has been increased to its present 3,000-seat setting, necessary especially for the always large Homecoming Game crowds each Fall. During the Summer of 2011, the Stadium received a major upgrade with the installation of a turf field and a new track. The Stadium stands were also cleaned and repainted. The upgrade is thanks to $3.7 million in donations provided by a small group of alumni, friends and parents of Beloit students
The Ballpark at Strong Stadium
The Buccaneers have called The Ballpark at Strong Stadium home since the Strong Stadium complex's renovation in 2000. Prior to that time Beloit played it's home games at Pohlman Field in Beloit, now the home of the Class A Beloit Snappers, an affiliate of the Minnesota Twins. The field measures 315 down both lines, 360 in the gaps and 380 to the centerfield fence. During the Fall of 2008 members of the Baseball squad installed permanent wind breaks in the outfield fencing. Through donations spurred by the Buccaneer Baseball Dugout Club, a new scoreboard was installed prior to the 2010 season, replacing one that had been in use since the field's inception. In addition, new distance markers were put up through the outfield.
Strong Complex Softball Field
Built in 2000, the field is 200 feet to all fields. It has seating for 60 fans as well as room down both the left and right-field lines and behind the outfield fences.
Strong Complex Tennis Courts
First used in 2007, the facility features six courts plus seating for 60.
Strong Complex Soccer Field
The Strong Complex Soccer Field is used by both the Buccaneer Men's and Women's teams. Previously used by just the Women's team while the Men's squad used the field to the east, 2011 marked the first season it was used as the primary game-field for both teams. It features a new scoreboard, covered benchs for both home and visitors and seating for 75 in addition to plenty of area along the west sideline for additional fans. In the Fall of 2014 it was enhanced with decorative berms on two corners and behind each goal, thanks to the efforts of the 1889 Council.

Awareness of Awareness
Where you have ability, you have life. Where you have space, energy, mass…I don't care what kind of energy. The energy contained in your engrams. The energy contained in mental pictures. The space contained in your visios or lack of them. Anytime you have any quantity of any kind, you have walked downhill from life. Just like that. And this works out. This works out in processing, works out gorgeously. —L. Ron Hubbard
It has no wavelength, position in space or location in time. It is what L. Ron Hubbard calls "a primary discovery in the field of humanity," and its isolation and identification have yielded the answers to the whole of life.
The awareness of awareness unit.
Here is its relationship to matter, energy, space and time. Not only are these discoveries beyond the scope of the physical sciences, but they challenge—indeed, debunk—science's fondest myths about the physical universe. And with Mr. Hubbard's detailed account of its potentials, the awareness of awareness unit disentangles from mass, meaning and mobility to shine brilliantly forth as the only source of all sorrow, happiness, goodness, postulates and goals.
Here, then, is the delineation of the origin, nature and scope of a being.

Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson said Tuesday he's taking nothing for granted in his race against Republican Rep. Connie Mack IV despite a lead in the polls.
The bad news for Nelson? Outside conservative groups continue to pour millions into TV attacks targeting Nelson for his votes in favor of President Barack Obama's health care law.
By his count, outside spending against him exceeds $18 million, he said during a Tuesday meeting with the Tampa Bay Times editorial board. Last week, American Crossroads and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce spent $3.6 million. This week, American Crossroads launched a $2 million buy that accuses him of "milking the system" by taking a greenbelt tax exemption on his family pasture.
"The good news is that it has not moved the needle very much," Nelson said, acknowledging more money will come as the election nears.
"I have tried with friendly persuasion to persuade Gov. Scott on things like high speed rail, and the $2.4 billion that we had sitting on the table. But it's hard to reason with him," Nelson said. "So, no, I have not had that, because he's taken the position that he's not accepting any money. ... He's just being unreasonable."
What about working with the Florida Legislature, which controls the state's pocketbook?
"You talking about the Florida Legislature?" he said with a smirk. "I am hopeful that (incoming House Speaker) Will Weatherford is going to be a more reasonable person. And if they pull off a coup in the state Senate and make your Pinellas County senator the Senate president (referring to Clearwater Sen. Jack Latvala) ... we could get some kind of a deal going."
Despite a flux of ads singling him out as "the deciding vote" for health care, Nelson said his vote for the bill was never in doubt. He said the White House has not done enough to explain to people what the bill does. Often, he said, opponents of the law cannot point to specifics.
"All they've heard is the politicized version, which is that 'Obamacare' is bad," he said. "And this is where I've crossed swords with the White House because they dropped the ball. They took the attitude, 'oh, we passed it. It's going to sell itself.' And of course the other side took advantage of that, and you have this thing — that I don't shy away from — but it sure makes me have to work."
Nelson deflected a question about whether he would endorse Charlie Crist in a possible 2014 gubernatorial match-up with Scott. Crist, the Republican-turned-independent former governor, endorsed Nelson over Mack.
Nelson said "of course" he would welcome him into the Democratic Party, though that wasn't the question.
"I have five weeks from today," he said. "That's what I am going to concentrate on."
He doesn't share U.S. Rep. C.W. Bill Young's call for the U.S. to withdraw from Afghanistan as quickly as possible. He says he is relying on the advice of military commanders who have laid out an "orderly withdrawal over the course of time." Obama has called for all troops to be out of Afghanistan by December 2014.
"They're all gung-ho among the Republican crowd, but none of their sons are under a draft," he said. "I operated at a time when I went through ROTC and got a commission we had a draft, and it was a lot of different then. I think it's an accurate representation that a lot of the war is forgotten because it's not touching people in their daily lives."
Nelson said the latest Crossroads ad, and those that precede it, are misleading voters. The influx of negative ads against him this year "forced me to go up early" against Mack, he said, resulting in a commercial highlighting Mack's youthful brawls and missed congressional votes.
"I just don't have that much money, so I had to string it out," he said, "but I couldn't let them keep attacking me like they were."
The Mack campaign pointed out that Nelson enjoys support from outside spending groups, including the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Majority PAC, Saving Florida's Future and American Bridge, that have attacked Mack on the airwaves. Mack spokesman David James criticized Nelson for not actively campaigning.
"It's an insult to all Floridians that a person whose held public office for 40 years can only discuss his record for a total of 15 days prior to election day in public," James said.
Nelson would not reveal how his campaign will spend the next five weeks.
"Depends on what they do in their attacks against me," Nelson said. "I have to protect myself, and I have to protect myself with the truth."

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus — or MRSA — has been a problem in hospital and health care settings for decades. More recently, this highly drug-resistant bacterium has become a problem among otherwise healthy student athletes. Is your child at risk? What can you do to protect against MRSA infection?
James M. Steckelberg, M.D., an infectious disease specialist at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, answers these and other common questions about MRSA.
MRSA is a type of bacterium that can resist the effects of many common antibiotics. This ability makes MRSA infections much more difficult to treat.
MRSA first surfaced in hospitals, where it often caused serious bloodstream infections in people who were sick with other diseases and conditions. Now there are varieties of MRSA that occur in nonhospital settings. These infections typically affect the skin of otherwise healthy individuals — such as student athletes.
An MRSA skin infection looks like a boil, pimple or spider bite that may be:
These infections most commonly occur at sites where the skin has been broken by cuts or scrapes, or on areas of the skin covered by hair, such as the:
MRSA is spread by:
Athletic equipment and locker rooms should be regularly cleaned and disinfected. There's no evidence that spraying or fogging rooms or surfaces with disinfectant works any better than just focusing on frequently touched surfaces — such as wrestling mats, weight training equipment and locker room benches.
To help prevent the spread of MRSA infections:
Don't try to treat the infection yourself. Go to your doctor. Minor MRSA skin infections usually heal after being drained. If the infection doesn't heal well or gets worse, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics that are still effective against MRSA. If the infection is severe, you may need to be hospitalized. In rare cases, MRSA infections can become life-threatening.
The National Athletic Trainers' Association recommends that suspicious lesions be tested for MRSA and that the athlete not be allowed to return to play until:

A comprehensive census in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park has confirmed the existence of nearly 300 mountain gorillas.
The world's total number of mountain gorillas has been estimated for some time at just over 600; the other 300 members of this endangered species live in the Virunga Volcanoes along the adjoining borders of Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire).
Rebel forces attacked a conservation outpost in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda at dawn on Monday, according to the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF). Two Americans, four Britons, and two New Zealanders, all of them tourists, were killed after being abducted. In addition, a community conservation warden was killed by the attackers. Ugandan authorities blamed Rwandan Hutu rebels for the killings.
Janus, Letitia, Praesepe, Sarph, Zuben'ubi.
Named for celestial bodies, this rambunctious quintet of black-and-white-ruffed lemurs have some researchers thanking their lucky stars that their efforts seem to be paying off.
The five primates are carving out a place in conservation history as the first ruffed lemurs (Varecia variegata variegata) to be born in captivity and then released into the wilds of Madagascar, their ancestral homeland. And they're thriving.
Rumors of increased elephant poaching around Africa have circulated for the last year and have now been confirmed in at least one location. Reports from the area around Lewa Downs on the Laikipia plateau in central Kenya indicate a loss of 23 elephants in the last year compared to a total of 11 for the previous four years.
A community forced to move 30 years ago off land now falling within the boundaries of South Africa's Kruger National Park has regained its rights to nearly 100 square miles of park land.
Under the terms of the agreement reached in the spring with South Africa National Parks (SANP), the Pafuri region, just south of the current Kruger boundary, will be returned to the Makuleke community and will be maintained as a protected area.

Last month, we were treated with the announcement that Sprint's Nexus S 4G would be releasing on May 8 (today), and surely, the Sprint version of Google's phone is now available for purchase. As expected, the device is going for $199.99 on a two-year contract, or $549.99 without. This is $100 more than T-Mobile's Nexus S, but Sprint's Google phone does have 4G. Best Buy is actually offering it for $149.99 on a two-year contract, taking it a bit easier on your wallet.
Whether 4G radios are worth $100 (or $50) to you or not, it does not take away from the fact that it is nice to have a Nexus device available for more carriers. Though the GSM Nexus S is unlocked, 3G speeds were only possible through T-Mobile, which meant that AT&T customers were stuck on edge. Just the fact that the Nexus S made the jump to CDMA is a big step, and it is always good to have options, even though some may seem unfair.
There you go, Sprint users, the Nexus S 4G is finally here. Who is going for the "pure Google experience"?

How to Apply
For Rochester students, applying to study abroad is a two-step process.
- Apply for approval from Rochester to go abroad, by beginning an application in the Education Abroad Portal.
- Complete applications for the specific programs in which you hope to participate.
Step 1—Request Approval
All students who intend to go abroad, whether on programs sponsored by the University, or on other institutions' programs, need to first request approval from us to go abroad. This request must be submitted no later than October 15 for spring programs (October 1 for Exchange programs), or March 15 for fall or full-year programs.
Students can request approval by starting an application for each program in the Education Abroad Portal.
Step 2—Program Application
Once your request is approved, you will need to submit applications to specific programs in which you hope to participate. Each program has its own requirements; sometimes these requirements differ from our requirements. In all such cases, the University requirements override the program guidelines.
Application Deadlines
Application deadlines vary. Check with the specific program to confirm.
- Fall semester and full-year programs: from February 15 through April 15
- Spring semester programs: between September 15 and November 15
- Summer programs: as early as February 1 or as late as April 1
Expect to begin preparing your application at least four to six weeks in advance of the deadline. Allow plenty of time to obtain recommendations, transcripts, medical clearance, and security reports.
Application Requirements
All applications require that you submit official transcripts from all colleges and universities you have attended. In addition, you could be required to provide:
- A personal statement and/or essay
- A form or letter indicating the approval of your academic dean or study abroad office
- The approval of a departmental adviser, or a confidential faculty recommendation
Application Tips
- Pick up and submit all application materials for Rochester programs from the Center for Study Abroad.
- Be sure to keep a photocopy of all parts of your application materials. If your essay is submitted online, keep a backup as well as a hard copy.
- Use the Study Abroad Checklist for a handy list of steps to take when applying to study abroad.
Applying for Passports & Visas
If you are not a US citizen, anticipate visa or passport complications. Look into this as early as possible in order to avoid problems at Immigration. Visas can take anywhere from six weeks to six months to obtain, depending on your circumstances. Consult with an advisor in the International Services Office in order to ensure that you remain in status, and may re-enter the U.S. without difficulty.
This page will give you information on applying for your passport or visa.
Applying to a Non-UR program
If you apply to a non-UR program, you are responsible for determining the program's requirements and deadlines. Send applications directly to the program sponsor. Not all study abroad programs are accredited; check with a study abroad adviser to make sure that the credits will transfer back toward your degree. You will need to obtain course approvals before leaving campus to ensure that all credits will transfer.
