ou've got questions—we've got answers! Here's how it works—each week, our Community Manager will be scouring all available sources to find whatever questions you're asking. We'll pick three of them for R&D to answer, whether about the about the making of the game, the technical workings of our DDI studio, or anything else you care to know about... with some caveats.
There are certain business and legal questions we can't answer (for business and legal reasons). And if you have a specific rules question, we'd rather point you to Customer Service, where representatives are ready and waiting to help guide you through the rules of the game. That said, our goal is provide you with as much information we can—in this and other venues.
Would it be possible in D&D Next to use some of the tactical combat rules and ignore others, or would you need to talk them all as a package?
Yes. While we are likely to design and present rules modules in groups aimed at a particular goal (in the case you mention, to provide more concrete rules for adjudicating combat while using minis, a battlemat, etc.), we also want each individual optional rule to work on its own. For example, last week I mentioned that grid-based cover and facing are two things we're looking at for the tactical combat rules module, each of those is its own distinct optional rule. So, if you want, you can use facing, but not grid-based cover, or just use grid-based cover but not facing. Similarly, if we have a "grim and gritty" module that we put together, it might have things like long-term wounds, critical hit charts, drastically reduced healing, etc. The goal would be that each of those systems works independently of the others, but when combined they really work toward producing a grittier feel to the game. Remember, the goal of rules modules is not to enforce a style of play, but to facilitate one, and part of facilitating a wide variety of play styles is making sure that those are not so tightly intertwined that they cannot be broken apart.
What kind of actions are you looking to add as maneuvers in the D&D Next playtest?
We'll be talking more about maneuvers in the near future (as I alluded to last week in Rule of Three), but the idea is that we want maneuvers to represent more than just a basic combat action. We want things like pushing someone around, knocking them down, disarming them, etc. to be covered by our check system, and teach DMs how to adjudicate those things without having to add in heaps of very specific, exception-based mechanics that bulk up our streamlined core.
Maneuvers, on the other hand, are designed to let you do those kinds of things and make your normal attack, or do things that are more exceptional. Anyone can try to push the orc off the cliff, but the character with the maneuver gets to make an attack and push the orc for free (for 4E players, think about how tide of iron works). Similarly, there are things that just can't be covered by our basic checks system that need a place in the game, like charging, power attacking, etc. that have more exceptions-based rules. Those are the perfect things for us to put in maneuvers, because players get to opt in to the complexity, and it makes it easier for the DM to remove them, or give bonus maneuvers out, on a campaign-by-campaign basis.
In D&D Next, will a different spellcasting system likely be attached the wizard, or to a different class?
For the moment, we're looking at big structural changes (like, for instance, how a character casts spells) likely requires a different character class. While we are definitely excited about the idea of having different ways of casting spells, we also want to make sure that our classes stay balanced and functioning as intended. Plus, it makes it a bit tougher to predict how other game elements (like feats, for example) interact with a class when that class's fundamental mechanics change. In the other direction, we think "alternate spellcasting method" is a strong enough hook to give a class a large portion of its mechanical identity, and again we can really make sure that the class is behaving in a unique, balanced way if we focus all of our efforts on that class's core mechanics.
How can I submit a question to the Rule-of-Three?
Instead of a single venue to submit questions, our Community Manager will be selecting questions from our message boards, Twitter feed, and Facebook account. You can also submit questions directly to email@example.com. So, if you'd like to have your question answered in the Rule-of-Three, just continue to participate in our online community—and we may select yours!

I provide news, analysis, and actionable investing ideas
There is no shortage of geniuses on Wall Street. If you don't believe me, just tap anyone on the shoulder and ask them. They will gladly share their opinion on the ups and downs of any stock. However, there is no company on the market today that draws more interest than Apple.
With the stock having dropped as much as 30% recently from its all-time high of $705, the company is suddenly perceived unable to innovate and being "left behind" by Google and Amazon. Even more remarkable is to hear the word "cannibalization" being screamed from the rooftops of every money manager on the heels of Apple having announced the release of the iPad mini. But this was one of the most anticipated launches this year. Yet somehow it was still considered a surprise. The fact is, these experts continue to look at this from the wrong point of view.
Here's What Apple's Thinking
The only guarantee in the world of business is that a market leader does not remain a market leader forever. Research in Motion, Nokia and Motorola are perfect examples of this. Apple, by its own recent history understands this all too well when at the height of the PC industry it suffered brutal punishment at the hands of Microsoft. The company does not want to relive this and to some extent its recent sales numbers hinted at lost share – particularly in tablets.
Consider this, at one point in 2011 Apple's iPads enjoyed a market share of over 81%. It was a relatively new market for which many rivals had not prepared. That iPads took off with such enormous success, this forced the competition to pour in billions in R&D in an attempt to steal some of that luster – with varying degrees of triumph. Although RIM's PlayBook and HP's TouchPad fell flat on their faces, Samsung's Galaxy Tab as well as Amazon's Kindle Fire were ranging successes. All of which served to undercut the iPad, which by most accounts is priced at a premium. Essentially, Samsumg and Amazon entered and created the low-end tablet market.
As a consequence, today Apple's tablet lead has shrunk to just 52%. And seeing as both Google's Nexus 7 tablet and Microsoft's Surface have entered the market, Apple had no choice but to release the iPad Mini. What this means is that even though Apple still enjoys much success in the higher-end tablet market, the company does not plan to surrender any portion of mobility – regardless of the risk to cannibalization, one of the most overused terms in marketing by those who don't truly understand business.
Bottom line
Early indicators suggest that the iPad Mini is already a smashing success, which has already been reflected in Apple's stock price. Since hitting a low of $505 a week ago, the stock is now up over 12% to $568 in early trading on Friday – albeit an abbreviated session due to the holiday. The long term narrative in Apple has not changed and the company's prospects have never looked brighter. With sales of the iPad Mini expected to exceed 5 million units during this quarter, this will serve as the new catalyst to propel the stock back over the $600 range and send shares to higher highs in Q1 2013.
looks like a good machine
We are glad to hear you aren't a genius, cool! AAPL was over-sold short-term and is up a whopping $ 5.00 today. Are you serious? AAPL is dead. Every other tech stock is out-perfrorming AAPL.
Ha Ha…Apple is the cheapest stock out there based on its PEG ratio, has massive amounts of cash for R&D, dividends, buy-backs etc etc, the highest margins by far…and it has a dream line-up of the most sought after products(based on every survey I've seen…dozens of them)..what more could you want…unless you are biased?
I don't believe Apple will back to much higher than $600 because of the 5 million prediction of iPad Mini sale.
People buying iPad mini are fans of Apple, after they get cool down and compare the value of this purchase with other alternatives, a big portion of them will not do the same thing again in next time.
The arrogance of Apple will eventually kill the innovation of this company.
My prediction is Apple will drop to under $500 in the 1st half of 2013.
Great call, I short the rallies here and AAPL is very profitable for me. The fun thing is that the media are so slow to understand, this will kill them as much as it does shareholders. The stock should be breaking out today and it is up a lousy $ 4.00!!! Sad indeed. I suppose it could go up a bit if more shorts like me cover.
The fact could be there is no innovation you can expect Apple to bring to the market in next Spring as they usually do in the past every year.
As long as there is nothing new from Apple, the price will become an consideration for consumers.
The market share of Apple products will keep going down…Do you still expect a good projection on their stock market value?
People like yourself said the same thing about Apple's first iPad. How only rabid Apple fans will buy the iPad and Apple would only sell about 3 million iPads for the entire year. Instead, they set record sales and every Tom, Dick and Harry computer/tech company ran to their drawing boards and doing iPad tear-downs and started cloning the iPad as their Windows netbooks went unsold. Yeah, the iPad was supposed to be just a fad and everyone would be back to buying $250 netbooks within a year, but we see that didn't happen. You're entitled to your opinion but I think you're dead wrong again. Apple's iPad Mini will set record sales because of loyal Apple customers whose numbers are growing by the day. I don't know what you people buy in Wheatstalk, Nebraska, but in New York City, they buy Apple.
Glad you think Apple has lost its cool, but where I live the teenagers want Apple products, not some cheap-ass, forked-Android Kindle Fires or some second-string Android Nexus 7s tablets. I'm glad to see those companies selling cheap tablets for those who can't afford Apple products in these times of a struggling economy. Still, Apple is going to sell their share of iPad Minis and larger iPads just the same.
I'm not quoting any Apple share price because Apple's revenue and profits won't necessarily translate to a higher share price what with Wall Street compressing Apple's P/E at every opportunity. I'll be happy if it does go higher than $600 but if it doesn't, I'll still take my quarterly Apple dividend and use it to buy some more Apple products. Better for me to own a stock that's at least $500 a share than some $27 Microsoft stock. I bought the majority of my Apple shares in 2004 in the $80 range, so I'm well ahead of the game.
Thanks Richard,
Just started following you as your posts are quite good.
What many apple haters fail to realize is that apple does not compete on market share…they compete on margins and they are winning hands down. They command a premium b/c the products are much better than the competition and people will pay for that. The ipad mini is a perfect example of this….notice how there were absolutely no discounts for the mini on black friday indicating extremely strong demand.
"Early indicators suggest that the iPad Mini is already a smashing success, which has already been reflected in Apple's stock price. Since hitting a low of $505 a week ago, the stock is now up over 12% to $568 in early trading on Friday.". … AAPL was oversold due to various news coming out of apple and reports. The stock rebound didn't have much to do with iPad Mini at this time. Why does Forbes always hire some crappy analyst to publish these junks on the website?
The author wrote, "Consider this, at one point in 2011 Apple's iPads enjoyed a market share of over 81%…today Apple's tablet lead has shrunk to just 52%."
Based on what evidence? I hope you're not relying on the nonsense promulgated by the two big numbers-for-hire market analysis firms. The iPad has well over 90% market share currently, well corroborated by–among other things–tablet Web traffic surveys that show the iPad responsible for over 95% of all tablet Web traffic.
Stuffing the channels with stale inventory–the favorite technique of Apple's would-be rivals–isn't the same as end user sales. The only company the provides actual data for the latter is Apple. I think there's a reason for that…
Pretty much the same thing happened with the MP3 market. Apple wasn't the first, but they made the market big, and owned the top end. Apple didn't invent the smart phone or the tablet (tablet computers have been around more than 10 years, and where never a success before).
Of their competitors, the only one making serious money is Samsung, who have the benefit of controlling the entire supply chain down to chip fab (even if they rely on Google for the OS). Kindle is selling well but the profits for Amazon are in steering users towards their store, not in the device. Everyone else is scraping the bottom of the barrel.

NATO Command Expects 'Rising Violence' As US Escalates
by Charles Lemos, Fri Mar 20, 2009 at 09:03:37 PM EDT
The NATO commander of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) Regional Command South in Afghanistan, Maj. Gen. Mart de Kruif of the Netherlands, noted today that the number of attacks in Afghanistan is likely to rise as the influx of additional US troops expected over the next six months begins to arrive. The Regional Command South covers a restive section of Afghanistan, including Kandahar and the opium poppy growing Helmand Province that has been the scene of heavy insurgent Taliban activity. From Defense Link:
An increased U.S. presence in the region will spur NATO-led pressure on insurgents and improve efforts to counter narcotics and makeshift bombings, Netherlands Army Maj. Gen. Mart de Kruif, commander of the ISAF's Regional Command South in Afghanistan, said.
But the overall addition of 17,000 U.S. troops to the American contingent in Afghanistan will be met with increased violence at the outset of the plus-up, including a possible uptick in insurgents' growing use of homemade bombings, the commander said.
"That will lead in the first couple of months after the influx of U.S. forces to what I think is going to be a significant spike in incidents," de Kruif told reporters at the Pentagon.
NATO has some 32,000 troops in Afghanistan and of those approximately 22,000 are under the command of Maj. Gen. Mart de Kruif. At the moment, there are 38,000 US troops in Afghanistan with the escalation expected to bring that number to 55,000.

The Design & Development article series premiered on the D&D website back in September 2005, and has been a staple ever since. With the approach of 4th Edition, and our designers and developers focused on the new edition, this column will be the primary vehicle for 4th Edition coverage. We'll not only give you peeks at what's forthcoming, but also the "how" and "why."
Keep in mind that the game is still in a state of flux, as refinements are made by our design and development staff. You're getting a look behind the curtain at game design in progress, so enjoy, and feel free to send your comments to email@example.com.
Grab a d20. Roll high.
That's the basic rule of 4th Edition just as it was in 3rd Edition, but the new edition puts that mechanic more solidly in the core of the game than ever.
Ever faced one of those life-or-death saving throws? Hours, weeks, or even years of play can hang in the balance. It all comes down to that one roll. There's drama in that moment, but it's drama you didn't create, and you don't want.
That's gone in the new edition.
Have you played a spellcaster and been a little envious of the excitement of other players when they roll critical hits? Have you wished that you could do that for your spells?
You can in 4th.
Have you ever had some confusion or miscalculation about your normal AC versus your touch and flat-footed AC?
You won't have to worry about it.
If you want to know whether or not you succeed in doing some action in 4th Edition, you grab a d20 and try to roll high. Just as in 3rd Edition, you add a modifier to that roll from your character sheet, and you check for any extra bonuses or penalties from the situation or from your allies. The key difference in the new edition is what you roll for and what you add.
The standard defenses remain (AC, Fortitude, Reflex, and Will) but now they all work more like AC. When a dragon breathes fire on you, it attacks your Reflex and deals half damage if it misses. The DM rolls a d20, adds the dragon's modifiers, and asks you what your Reflex score is. The dragon might roll a 1 and automatically miss no matter how much tougher it is than you, but there's also the frightening possibility that it will roll a 20 and deal double damage.
Folks familiar with the new Star Wars Saga system will recognize this concept, but it's evolved a bit to better suit D&D. In 4th Edition, when a creature only needs to touch you to deliver an attack, it targets your Reflex. When you're surprised, you grant combat advantage, but you don't need to look at a special AC on your sheet -- the normal number works fine. When a pit suddenly opens up beneath your feet, you make a check to jump out of danger, but if a crossbow trap fires an arrow at you, it the bolt attacks your AC.
What we mean when we talk about streamlining the system is this: making design decisions that make learning and using the game less difficult, while keeping the system just as robust. And making it more fun as the result.

The matchup is set for Tuesday night's Triple-A National Championship, and here might be a tough one for Bisons fans to take: The Cleveland Indians have another Triple-A title.
The Columbus Clippers wrapped up the International League Governors' Cup with a 13-2 destruction of defending champion Durham on Friday, clinching the title in the Bulls' home park as Double-A callup Jason Kipnis hit for the cycle. It's Columbus' first title since 1996, when it was still the Yankees' top farm, and the fourth for the Tribe in the last 14 years. You may recall the Baby Chief Wahoos won in Buffalo in 1997, 1998 and 2004.
In the PCL, Tacoma completed a three-game sweep of defending champion Memphis with Friday's 10-6, 11-inning win. The Rainiers had to play the entire series on the road because of renovations to their home park and still swept the Redbirds. Tacoma played its first-round home games at Safeco Field, home of the parent Mariners, but it wasn't available for this series.
Tuesday's title game in Oklahoma City will be televised on Versus live at 8 p.m. Durham won last year's title in 11 innings over Memphis.

The Great Debate (India)
Is the cabinet reshuffle merely cosmetic?
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh retained key allies in a cabinet reshuffle on Tuesday in a bid to help him fight accusations of corruption and policy paralysis, choosing instead to focus on gaining support ahead of state elections next year.
Key ministers were retained while Jairam Ramesh was moved to the rural development ministry from environment.
Will the minor cabinet reshuffle be sufficient to fight a slew of graft scandals, public protests and high inflation that have undermined the government?
Share your views.
PM defends himself in rare media roundtable
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh defends himself against accusations his government was a lame duck, saying it was trying to bring justice in some of the country's biggest corruption scandals in decades.
The 78-year-old Singh has been under increasing pressure to stamp out corruption.
India, Pakistan reach cautious win-win perch
By C. Uday Bhaskar
(C. Uday Bhaskar is a New Delhi-based strategic analyst. The views expressed in the column are his own)
The joint statement issued by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Pakistani counterpart Yusuf Raza Gilani at Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt on the sidelines of the NAM Summit has generated considerable comment in both countries and is being interpreted across a wide bandwidth that ranges from outright condemnation to cautious cheer.
Has Sreedharan set an example by resigning?
The chief of Delhi's metro rail system Elattuvalapil Sreedharan resigned on Sunday after a section of an overhead bridge under construction gave way and crushed five workers to death.
This is the second such accident involving the mass transit system in less than 12 months. Last October, a section of an under-construction flyover in the capital's Lakshminagar area collapsed and fell on a bus, killing at least two persons.
Who will be India's PM?
As election fever reaches its peak amid the counting of votes on Saturday, all eyes are now on which party will cobble up a majority and stake claim to form the new government. And who will be India's new prime minister? Will it be –
The father of India's economic reforms, Singh's image of a compromise prime minister opened him up to criticism that he took orders from Congress party boss Sonia Gandhi and he has been criticised as a weak and directionless leader.

Convicted murderer Steven Hayes wants to end his legal appeals and "go to the death chamber," according to a report in the Hartford Courant.
In a recent hand-written letter to the Courant, Hayes, who was convicted in March of killing three Cheshire women in the 2007 home invasion, said he can't live with the intense torture and psychological trauma of the Department of Corrections staff.
Hayes, 49, was convicted of killing Jennifer Hawke-Petit in her Sorghum Mill Dr. home during the horrific night of crime. Petit's two daughters Hayley, 17, and Michaela, 11, also died after the home was set on fire.
Co-defendant Joshua Komisarjevsky, 32, of Cheshire was also found guilty in the killings and was sentenced to death.
The lone survivor of the home invasion, Dr. William Petit, was beaten and tied up in the basement of the couple's home. He later escaped and fled to neighbor's home. Petit recently remarried.
State law requires an automatic appeal for death sentence cases. The Courant reports the process could take 20 years. Hayes' letter asks for those appeals to be waived.
The charred remains of the Petit home were demolished and a memorial garden was built on the corner property in a neighborhood close to Rt. 10, Cheshire's main road.

The Extension, previously the Marietta-Cobb Winter Shelter, is celebrating 25 years of service in Cobb County.
Of the approximately 21,000 people homeless in Georgia on a single night in January in 2009, 500 persons were counted in Cobb County, according to Tina Jones, Director of Development of The Extension, a long-term residential homelessness and substance abuse program in Marietta.
"We are the largest organization of our kind in North Georgia," Jones said.
The program offers services for homeless men and women with addictions, including addiction counseling, family counseling, case management, medical services, sub-clinical mental health services, conflict resolution/anger management therapy, GED, job-placement and a life skills program.
"The success of the program is based on the concept of long-term residential treatment adding a 'real life' component of practicing newly acquired productive, responsible behaviors in the 'real world,'" John Bremner, Director of Recovery Services, states on TheExtension.org.
On average, Extension helps 250 individuals a year in Cobb County. However, the women's facility did not open until 2009.
1. What's the problem you are addressing? How big is this problem in Cobb?
Jones: We address homelessness and substance Abuse. According to a 2009 study done by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, on a single night in January, approximately 21,000 people were homeless in Georgia. More than half were unsheltered or facing imminent loss of their housing; the other 43 percent were in emergency or transitional housing, or housing for victims of domestic violence.
Of that number, 500 homeless persons were counted in Cobb County. 144 people were in homes or halfway houses for drug/alcohol abuse and 126 people in hospitals or wards for drug/alcohol abuse. The National Survey on Drug Use and Health estimated more than 200,000 state residents in 2006 needed drug rehab in Georgia but didn't get it. These numbers are probably larger since these are only those that were found during the count.
2. How did the nonprofit start?
Jones: We began by concerned citizens and local churches in 1987 as the Cobb Winter Shelter. After realizing that the main cause for chronic homelessness was substance abuse, we changed our focus and became a residential recovery program called The Extension (1995).
3. What is the greatest challenge that your clients face?
"The greatest challenge they face is staying clean and sober. It's a lifelong process."
4. What sets the organization apart from other nonprofits of its kind?
Jones: We are a licensed treatment center, licensed by the Georgia Department of Public Health. We are the largest organization of our kind in North Georgia. We do not charge a fee upon entrance.
5. Do you have plans for changes or expansion?
Jones: We just expanded in 2009 but we have long-term plans to either expand our current facilities or add more.
6. What is the most rewarding part of being a part of the nonprofit?
Jones: Seeing our alumni return with good news about how much their lives have changed since being in our program.
7. Do you charge for any of your services/programs?
Jones: Not initially. We do after they secure employment, which we help them to do.
8. Speak out. Tell our readers what you need-donations, volunteers, etc.
Jones: We always need financial support for our programs because government budget cuts affect us greatly. We also need volunteers to serve dinner, donate clothes or toiletries, help promote our programs, serve on committees.

Malcolm Purdy held the Sherrill Silversmiths to one run over 8 1/3 innings to lead the first-place Oneonta Outlaws to a 4-1 New York Collegiate Baseball League victory Saturday at Damaschke Field.
Purdy (4-3) scattered six hits, struck out three and walked none for the Outlaws, who played their last six games against Silversmiths over four days. The teams went 3-3 against each other in the series, which included doubleheaders Wednesday and Thursday.

According to the NYCBL website, the Outlaws have two regular-season games remaining, a doubleheader against the Syracuse Salt Cats that begins at 5 p.m. Tuesday at Le Moyne College.
On Saturday, Oneonta opened the scoring in the second inning. Josh Treff and Evan Harasta walked to start the inning against losing pitcher Josh Webb. A fielder's choice groundout by Heath Holder sent Treff to third and Treff scored on a sacrifice fly by Howard Joe.
Oneonta scored three times in the fourth inning to take a 4-0 lead.
Sherrill made two errors in the inning, which also included an RBI single by Mitch Hollander.
Holder had two of Oneonta's five hits. Oneonta High graduate Chris Pindar contributed his ninth double of the season for the Outlaws.
PGCBLHawkeyes swept

Power cut hits 500 homes in Rickmansworth
5:25pm Wednesday 30th January 2013 in News By Ben Endley, Senior reporter
Almost 500 homes in the Rickmansworth area are without power due to a fault.
Residents in West Hyde and Maple Cross were also left in the dark while some traffic lights were also reportedly affected.
UK Power Networks said engineers were trying to restore power to a total of 452 customers in the area.
One Twitter user commented: "Power cut in Maple Cross. The traffic lights on A412 also not working. Just in time for dinner!".
As part of the repair, power was briefly shut off to a total of 1,959 homes at 4.21pm but 1,507 of them were restored six minutes later.
A UK Power Networks spokesman said: "We do understand how inconvenient it is to be without power, especially at this time of the year, and apologise to the customers affected."

The Inner Wheel organisation of Northwick Park donates trolley to Harrow foodbank
Updated 4:57pm Monday 27th January 2014 in News By Bruce Thain
A group donated a trolley to the borough's foodbank as part of a campaign to celebrate 90 years of its work in the community.
The Inner Wheel organisation of Northwick Park collected the money to buy a new trolley for Harrow Foodbank.
This year the organisation is marking 90 years of work in the UK.
As part of celebrations, clubs around the country have been taking part in the Wheels Project in which they have to raise money for a cause involving wheels.
President of the Northwick Park Inner Wheel Maureen Sullivan said: "We wanted to raise money for a cause that helped people all over Harrow and the foodbank was perfect.
"It really helps the people in the borough and we hope the trolley will help them with their work."
Members of the organisation attended the foodbank's drop-off centre in Wealdstone to drop off the trolley and a cheque for £150.
Inner Wheel, which is the world's largest women's organisation, has more than 21,000 members in 786 clubs across Great Britain and Ireland.
Harrow Foodbank was founded in May last year and provides three days of emergency food to people referred by any 12 partner organisations.

2nd Annual Emerging Scholars Conference (2012) - Making it Better: Naming and Resisting Bullying in Families, Schools, and Communities
On September 28-29, 2012 the 2nd Annual Emerging Scholars Conference was held at Chapman University. The conference focused on the topic of bullying, which is pervasive in our society, occurring at home, between siblings, in schools, and in the community at large. It can happen to anyone at any age, but is especially devastating for our children and youth, our seniors and members of any marginalized or disenfranchised group. It is quickly gaining notoriety, and as technology continues to grow the opportunities for cyber-bullying become more serious. Students and faculty from Chapman Univeristy along with those from many other universities came together to talk about this pervasive issue and the ways it manifests itself in our schools and communities. Solutions were discussed along with research presentations. Many of our keynote speakers and presenters were recorded and are available for viewing through an iTunes U Course "Bully Prevention."

Characterizing Bone Health in Orange County Residents
In order to promote greater health and longevity in the community, Chapman's Science Teaching and Research (STAR) Institute has launched part one of a three-part study to evaluate bone health. Researchers will work to develop specific dietary and pharmaceutical interventions for persons at risk for osteoporosis, osteopenia and other bone-loss pathologies.
A Study of Successful Approaches to Minority Faculty Retention in U.S. Schools of Education
This nationwide study shows how schools of education might better recruit, develop and support their U.S. faculty of color. In particular, shielding minority faculty from intentional or unintentional racism. This preliminary study asks the deans of 70 schools of education across the U.S. to describe cases where their U.S. minority faculty have successfully navigated the tenure process and to communicate the factors they feel should be included in a larger study to follow.
While the larger follow-up study would lead to a model or models demonstrating how schools of education might achieve minority faculty retention, and in particular protect them from racism, input from deans will only be sought in this initial phase of the research. This allows the deans an opportunity to provide direct input into the potential parameters of that larger study. Research team members include: Dr. Greg Tanaka (UCLA and Pacific Oaks College), Kris Gutierrez (UCLA), Adrienne Ann Mullen (East Los Angeles College), Beverly Cross ( Memphis State University ), Suzanne SooHoo ( Chapman University ), Cindy Cruz (Cornell University), ReGena Booze (Pacific Oaks College), Olga Winbush (Pacific Oaks College), and Tim Sundeen (Pacific Oaks College).
A National and International Perspective of Social Justice
The College of Educational Studies is committed to the development of critical scholarship and skillful leadership that inspires and respects individuals, serves communities, enriches diversity, and ensures a socially just society. Social justice is central to the mission of the College of Educational Studies because education is a powerful tool in understanding and responding to social inequities. Chapman's teacher education, masters in education and doctoral program have a commitment to social justice and civic engagement through collaborative work with K-12 schools to improve their effectiveness in educating students, as well as have a national impact through subsequent conference presentations and publications.
The newly minted Donna Ford Attallah Academy for teaching and learning will soon begin working to coordinate the resources and current efforts within the College of Educational Studies in regards to the various work being done for civil engagement.
The College of Educational Studies (CES) and the University of Waikato, a premier research institution in New Zealand, have a formal exchange agreement. Faculty and administration have had the opportunity to meet and interact on both campuses during special forums and several dynamic research projects that explore the commonalities and challenges we face in educating diverse student populations.
For example, Suzanne Soohoo's reputable work in the area of participatory/action research coincides with the action research being conducted in New Zealand and has led to a promising network of educators on both sides of the globe who will attempt to address best practices in conducting research with diverse populations and how the findings can lead to academic improvements without sacrificing culture, language and social justice for students.

The Soldotna Post of the Alaska State Troopers are continuing to ask that local residents do not call law enforcement about a group of Brown Bears in the K-Beach area, unless the bears are causing physical harm to property or animals.
Soldotna Troopers are currently aware of a female Brown Bear and three 2 or 3 year old cubs rummaging through trash in the K-Beach area.
Troopers urge local residents to take care of all outside garbage and barbecues, to eliminate any smells which may attract the four bears.
The bears have been seen in neighborhoods near Poppy Ridge & Banita, near Kenai Peninsula College and around the KSRM studios on K-Beach, and troopers continue say they do not want to have to shoot the bears, and ask homeowners to stay clear of the animals and clean their areas as thoroughly as possible.
Do not call Troopers unless the bears are attacking people, animals, or are trying to break into houses. The local post has been flooded with calls from anxious residents.
** Comments on this story do not represent the thoughts and / or opinions of KSRM Radio Group, Staff, Management or Sponsors. **
Sat am 6/29/13 Am I correct w/ the following ? IF You chose to Shoot a Bear in Defence of Life & Property then You are responsible to Harvest that Bear meaning skinning, removing the head & claws & taking those to fish & game.
OR does a Road Kill Group Harvest the Bear ? SPW

It's official: Quinoa has achieved cult status. The ancient Incan grain has captured the public's imagination with its mix of nutritional superpowers, delicious flavor and rainbow colors, popping up on trendy restaurant menus and holistic health websites alike.
With all nine essential amino acids, it's a complete protein — like meat — which makes it the Holy Grail of the vegetarian world. And, it's gluten-free.
We may call quinoa (KEEN-wah) a grain, but it's really the seed of the South American goosefoot plant. The gluten-free seeds are high in protein, and quinoa's amino-acid profile is comparable to casein, the complete protein found in milk, according to the United Nations' Food and Agricultural Organization.
Quinoa is easy to digest and quick to prepare, but the seeds, which are coated with saponin, must be rinsed before cooking to remove bitterness, says the America's Test Kitchen crew. Some cooks prefer to soak the seeds for a few minutes, before placing them in a fine-mesh sieve under running water. Dry the kernels on a kitchen towel before proceeding. Some recipes also suggest toasting the seeds in a dry, hot saucepan for a few minutes until the water evaporates and the quinoa becomes aromatic; then add simmering stock to cook.
Use a 1-to-2 ratio of grain to water or stock, the same proportions you would with plain, white rice. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer it, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, then leave the lid on for a few minutes more; the America's Test Kitchen staff, which loves the grain for its "addictive crunch," suggests placing a clean dish towel over the top of the pot and replacing the lid on top for that final steaming. Then, fluff the quinoa with a fork, as you would couscous. The kernels should be translucent and fluffy, with small threads.
The only question is whether it grows magic beanstalks, too. And how best to cook the sometimes tricky grain.
"It has an incredible cult following," says Alex Postman, editor-in-chief for Martha Stewart's Whole Living magazine and website, where quinoa is one of the top search terms. "It's so nutritionally packed. But the first time I cooked it, I said, 'What is up with this?' I was not a quinoa connoisseur."
That's because there are a few small, but simple tricks for turning that bag of tiny seeds into a gustatory wunderkind. First, quinoa needs to be rinsed before use, to eliminate the bitter coating that surrounds each seed. Overcook it or use too much water, and quinoa loses its marvelous, fluffy texture. And then there's the color — yes, black quinoa cooks into inky hues and red stays richly vibrant. That can be a perk or a liability.
Postman's first quinoa escapade resulted in a terminally soggy side dish — and instead of rice-like appeal, her red quinoa was unexpectedly assertive in flavor. The darker the color, she says, the nuttier the taste.
"It comes in a spectrum of colors, from white to pink, orange and black. I would advise first-timers to start with the lighter types because those are a little blander," she says.
That blandness makes quinoa a perfect palette for creation.
"I've come to love it," says Postman. "It's so versatile. You can add pesto or a vinaigrette or leftover roasted veggies. It's a really great vehicle for flavor."
Equating the versatility of quinoa to rice, cookbook author Rebecca Wood was among the first American cooks decades ago touting the grain and others as staples of the macrobiotic diet. In the diverse category of whole, "ancient" grains — including amaranth, kamut, millet and teff — quinoa still stands above the rest, says Wood, formerly of Ashland.
"None of them are as easy to use ... or have such a delicious texture, and also it's a nutritional powerhouse."
Wood published "Quinoa the Supergrain: Ancient Food for Today" in 1989 and expanded on her initial research for "The Splendid Grain," which won two of the food industry's top honors, the Julia Child cookbook award and the James Beard KitchenAid cookbook award, in 1998. She'll be the keynote speaker for the March 24 "Ancient Grains Symposium" at Oregon State University Extension centers in Jackson and Josephine counties.
The event is co-hosted by Ashland Food Co-op, where culinary educator Mary Shaw says shoppers "go crazy" when she prepares samples of quinoa. Shaw recalls that Co-op customers who tasted a salad with red quinoa last summer went on to purchase 34 pounds of the grain that day alone.
Other kitchen professionals use quinoa in a wide range of ways. Charlie Ayers, the former Google chef who runs Palo Alto's Calafia Cafe, uses quinoa in soups, stuffing and salads. It makes a particularly nice pilaf, too, he says.
Tyler Florence tosses fluffy red quinoa into a salad of beets, avocado and fuyu persimmon at his new Napa restaurant, Rotisserie and Wine. Rick Hackett, executive chef at Bocanova, the Pan-Pacific restaurant in Oakland's Jack London Square, combines the grain with shrimp, roasted beets and orange vinaigrette. And at El Hueco, a Peruvian restaurant in Redwood City, Calif., quinoa — which they call the "mother grain of the Incas" — is a key ingredient in vegetarian and seafood entrees.
But don't stop there, says Postman.
"I have a good friend who has it for breakfast every day," she says. "She mixes it with honey or agave syrup and tosses in raisins and almond slivers. And quinoa clusters are a great, healthy snack."
An expanded culinary repertoire awaits participants in the Extension's March symposium, says Wood and Shaw. The Co-op is providing 20 recipes tested by OSU's Family Food Educators and available for tasting during the event.
"The whole experience is so way beyond Wonder bread," says OSU associate professor Sharon Johnson, who planned the event.
"It's like food for the first time."
