On May 18, 1938, as the first order of business at the first meeting of the Faculty Senate – then called the University Senate – President Sieg appointed an executive committee and charged them to appoint standing committees for the University. Since then, the wisdom of drawing on the intelligence, expertise, and commitment of the faculty to govern the institution they serve continues to be apparent.
The sheer number of Faculty Code revisions to Standing Committees bears witness to the dynamic nature of this governance model. Over the years, faculty councils on women, teaching and learning, multicultural affairs, research, and multi-campus policies have been added to ensure effective governance of a growing and changing University.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- The Hunger Games: Catching Fire-coming to a theatre near you and Jennifer Lawrence is starring as Katniss Everdeen.
Hunger is not a game to some students at Kammerer Middle School. Feeding the hungry is tough work, but worth it.
They're pairing the books and the movies with a mission; teaming with dare to care to feed the hungry with a food drive at their school.
They're hoping to exceed the 6,000 cans they raised last year. It's food that will stay in Kentuckiana.
They have buttons about fighting hunger, even matching shirts. Many of the girls even dress up like Katniss.
An autographed poster of Jennifer Lawrence hangs in the library, this after all is where she went to school, and played in the band.
From reading books, to helping others, as Katniss would say every revolution begins with a spark be that spark.
And that's a saying that is catching fire at Kammerer.

Plus: U.S. Economy Expands and Durable Goods on an Upswing, but Jobless Claims Rise.
U.S. Economy Expands in Q4
The United States economy picked up some steam in the final three months of 2011, largely due to increases in business inventories and consumer spending, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce's preliminary data last week. With the nation's fourth-quarter economic output expanding at an annualized rate of 2.8 percent, the increase in gross domestic product (GDP) was the fastest in a year and a half.
Inventory spending surged to an estimated $56 billion after a $2 billion decline in the third quarter, while consumer spending rose 2 percent, up from 1.7 percent in the third quarter. Government spending fell at all levels — federal, state and local — last quarter, providing a notable drag on total GDP. Meanwhile, exports climbed 4.7 percent and imports rose 4.4 percent.
"Many of the bigger American companies have reported strong profits in recent months, too," the New York Times reports. "Companies like General Electric and Lockheed Martin closed the year with record order backlogs, a sign that, at least for some businesses, demand is so strong that they cannot produce quickly enough."
Industrial companies like 3M, United Technologies Corp., Caterpillar and Boeing all reported profit increases for the fourth quarter.
For 2011 as a whole, GDP rose by 1.7 percent, raising the level of real GDP 0.7 percent above where it was at the start of the recession in Q4 2007.
Durable Goods Orders Increase in December
New orders for U.S. durable goods increased 3 percent in December, following a 4.3 percent rise in November, according to a report from the U.S. Department of Commerce last week. Excluding the often-volatile transportation category, news orders actually rose 2.1 percent. Excluding defense goods, new orders climbed 3.5 percent.
The overall value of durable goods orders last month rose by $6.2 billion to a total of $214.5 billion, marking the third consecutive month of growth. The largest gains were in transportation equipment, which climbed 5.5 percent. Another key increase was in orders for non-defense capital goods (excluding aircraft), which increased 2.9 percent, following decreases of 1.2 percent in November and 0.9 percent in October. The gain suggests that U.S. companies may be more eager to begin spending and investing accumulated funds.
"Economists pay close attention to so-called core capital goods because they are often viewed as a good way of gauging business investment plans," the Associated Press reports. "Orders have climbed more than 45 percent since hitting a recession low in April 2009. That has kept factories busy and helped the economy grow at a slow but steady pace."
On another positive note, the Conference Board's Leading Economic Index (LEI) for the U.S. also improved, increasing 0.4 percent to 94.3 in December, following a 0.2 percent gain in November and a 0.6 percent increase in October. The improvement was widespread across a range of leading indicators, "suggesting economic conditions should improve in early 2012″ despite some signs of weakness in credit and financial conditions.
Jobless Claims Increase Sharply
New initial jobless claims increased in the latest week reported, largely reflecting seasonal volatility amid generally strengthening labor market conditions. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, seasonally adjusted unemployment claims for the week ending January 21 rose by 21,000 to a total of 377,000, up from the previous week's upwardly revised total of 356,000. However, the four-week moving average, which provides a more accurate gauge of long-term employment trends, fell by 2,500 to 380,000.
The number of jobless claims typically fluctuates more widely in January, due to the end of many temporary jobs created during the holiday season. Claims hit 402,000 in the first week of January, before dropping nearly 50,000 two weeks ago and then rebounding again last week. Generally, joblessness has been on a downward trend over the past year.
"The monthly average has shown little change over the past six weeks, but its recent level suggests a declining number of layoffs in the broader economy. Claims mainly reflect how many people lose their jobs," MarketWatch reports. "If that's the case, the U.S. should be able to add jobs at a faster clip even if companies hire at a rate no faster than last year."
White House Launches Supply Chain Security Program
The Obama administration has launched the National Strategy for Global Supply Chain Security, a policy aimed at strengthening the global supply chain to protect the American people and secure the country's economic prosperity. The new program would plan for worst-case scenarios, enabling the government and industries to respond quickly to disasters that could disrupt access to vital commodities.
According to a factsheet, the program has two goals:
- Promote the efficient and secure movement of goods. The administration says this will be accomplished by: resolving threats early to expedite the flow of legitimate commerce; improving verification and detection capabilities to identify counterfeit or contaminated goods, and to prevent cargo from being compromised; enhancing security of infrastructure and conveyances by limiting access to cargo, infrastructure, conveyances and information to those with legitimate roles; and maximizing the flow of legitimate trade by modernizing supply chain infrastructure and processes.
- Foster a resilient supply chain. This will be accomplished by: mitigating systemic vulnerability to supply chain disruptions by applying risk management principles to identify and protect key assets, infrastructure and support systems; and promoting trade resumption policies and practices that provide for a coordinated restoration of the movement of goods following a disruption by applying national and global guidelines, standards, policies and programs.
"The strategy has far-reaching implications. It not only would apply to all cargo goods entering the country by ship, airplane or truck — the U.S. already inspects all of what it considers to be the highest-risk cargo — but also could set the stage for U.S. action to strengthen the security provided in other countries," the Associated Press notes. "Obama is requiring all federal agencies and departments to report back to him within a year on how their efforts are going and make 'recommendations for future action developed during the outreach process' of talking with other countries."
The Departments of State and Homeland Security will lead a six-month engagement period with the international community and industry stakeholders to solicit feedback and specific recommendations, according to an announcement last week.

Do introverts make better leaders?
Part of what I do is involved in developing emotionally intelligent businesses, leaders and teams.
Having recently seen Susan Cain's video on TED.com on 'The Power of Introverts' and listened to her in a recent radio interview here in the UK, I am increasingly finding my mind occupied by wondering about any link between being an introvert and being a successful leader.
My experience tells me that introverts quite possibly, or even probably, make better leaders than 'extroverts'.

Pleasanton, TX.,(Aug. 25th, 2012) As the racing season winds down and school starts back up, I-37 Raceway at NewsomeMotor Park hosted its annual Back-to-School and Bicycle Giveaway night on the 14 mile, semi-banked, track outside of San Antonio. Through donations from the track, drivers and sponsors, 10 bikes were given away to some very happy kids, as well as packages filled with school supplies.
All six regular classes were in action as drivers tried to pick up valuable points for their year-end tallies. Added on to the nights racing card was the Dwarf Car Racing Series of Texas, who also contributed to the bicycle giveaway.
Last lap passes and the tech pad had an outcome on several of the night's finishes, with two drivers leading only the final few feet and other seeing position changes after tech.
Noted racing shock and chassis man, Chris Swenson debuted his new Limited Late Model and promptly put it in the Winners Circle, while a couple other drivers took another step in locking up track championships.
Campbell Captures Three-peat
Adkins Jamie Campbell pulled off a three-peat in the IMCA Modifieds, but it wasn't easy. Campbell battled side by side with Carson Bednarz throughout the 20-lapper and led only the last 100' coming to the checkered flag. Campbell would get the nose inside Bednarz numerous times, but found a 'sweet spot' in the middle of turn 1 on the final laps to eventually complete the pass and steal the win.
The 11-car IMCA Modified feature got off to a rocky start when Kevin Schelling made contact with Chuck Chesler sending him around collecting Bednarz, Tracy Fink and Cody Tidwell. Finally under green Bednarz beat Marlin Samford off turn 2 with the lead trailed by Campbell, Bill Pittaway, Samford and Joe Spillman.
After a rash of early cautions, Campbell began putting the pressure on Bednarz for the lead. Campbell would get the nose past on the bottom of turns 1-2, but Bednarz would have the momentum off the top to stay in the lead. Pittaway tried to join the fight, but gave up some ground trying the low side.
The lead duo was still slugging it out coming to halfway with the two wheel to wheel, Pittaway in third with Jimmy Tidwell fourth and Darin Leonard fifth after an earlier encounter with a spinning Spillman. Campbell fell back in line as the top four now ran nose to tail. With threelaps to go, Campbell tried the middle of turns 1-2, and found some moisturegetting his best run.
Bednarz was still able to hold him off as they came to two to go. Campbell regrouped and as they took the white flag Campbell again went to the middle. They were side by side down the backstretch and into turn 3. Campbell get the bumper out front coming off turn 4 as was able to beat Bednarz to the line in his aplusboatparts.com, VP Race Fuels, Snap On Tools, Screen Pro Graphics, Swenson Racing Shocks, Performance Machine Shop, Swenson Chassis.
"I didn't have a plan(top get by Carson) until about three laps to go," explained Campbell. "There was some moisture in the middle of turn 1 and I found it with three to go. I kind of coasted the next lap and then went all out on the final lap. I could see it was there and just had to get my arc into the corner right. There was a rut about 4" deep I had to miss in the middle of it too."
"Carson and I are good friends and we help each other with our cars, so I know I can trust him running side by side all that time. I knew he wasn't going to wreck me, and I didn't want to wreck him. During the race, he's just another car and I race him as hard as I can."
"Things just kind of worked out at the start. I got lucky and missed all the wrecks. That helped a lot to get up front. I didn't know who was on my tail or see anyone, but I could hear someone. I tried to give himroom on the bottom and when he couldn't get by me I went back down there."
"I'd really like everyone to keep Dennis Taylor's wife, Liz, in their prayers. She's been in the hospital for over a week now with West Nile Virus."

Jennings Jousts with Slott in Sportmod Scramble
JJ Jennings(Corpus Christi) picked up his sixth win of the season in the IMCA Southern Sportmod 20-lap feature. Jennings made a daring move at the start to quickly move up to fifth, then methodically picked them off until reaching leader, Rob Slott. Diving low on a restart, Jennings wasable to get alongside and past Slott for the lead. Slott tried to retake the spot on the ensuing restarts, but couldn't find a way past as Jennings crept away for the victory.
Slott got the lead off turn 2 as the 22-car IMCA Southern Sportmod feature roared to life with Hunter Flanagan, Jason Kelly, Larry Jernigan and Jennings on his tail. Jennings, running the bottom, picked offJernigan, Kelly and Flanagan one lap at a time, with Talon Minten trying tofollow in Jennings tracks.
Jennings used a restart to get beside Slott in turns 1-2 and take over the top spot on lap 5. Slott tried to retake the spot using the top, while Tommy Grimes and Johnny Torres swapped fifth. Jennings held Slott off, with Grimes and Torres now almost three wide with T. Minten. Coming to the crossed flags it was Jennings, Slott, Flanagan, Grimes and T. Minten.
Torres then snagged fifth from T. Minten and put the heat on Grimes getting the spot before a lap 14 yellow slowed the action. As Jennings and Slott took off on green, Torres was trying high on Flanagan. After a crossover, Torres got under Flanagan for the spot as Bubba Seals got sixth from Grimes.
T. Minten and Flanagan ran wheel to wheel for fourth with Seals looking to make it three abreast in the waning laps. As Jennings took the white flag he had a four-car length advantage over Slott and carried that to the win in the G&M Oilfield Services, Bud Light, P&K Services, WFI Waste Management, Pat Foreman Heads, Swenson Racing, CB's Race Engines, Western Flyer Race Car.
"Everyone went to the top and I was able to just roll through the bottom," replied Jennings. "Watching the other races, it(the groove) was pretty much on the top. I thought I'd have my work cut out. This car is awesome on the bottom and has been all year."
"I don't think about racing someone new to here. You just race everyone like you want to be treated. His car is clean and he looked like he would be a clean driver and when he was here and won the Street Stock race he didn't tear anything up. Everyone pretty much runs everyone else clean."
"If I hadn't been able to run the bottom it would have been hard to get past him. Last week was the first time I passed on the top, usually it's the bottom. For some reason it likes the bottom better. If everyone's running the top it sure makes it hard to pass anybody."
"It's been fun this year racing with Johnny(Torres). His car is fast and he runs the top or the bottom. He's fast every week. We've raced hard and clean and I'm glad we came up here this year. It's been a blast. I really have to thank my family for all their help and support every week."

Swenson Sweeps Limited Late Model Debut
Chris Swenson(Boerne), known for his chassis set up and shock building, can also drive a racecar. Driving in the Modifieds and Sportmods of late, Swenson purchased the first 'fender' car he's owned in about 20 years. Adding his own set up, Swenson was able to put it the Winners Circle taking both his heat and feature wins. Powering past former track champ Gary Hunter and Craig Crawley, Swenson got the lead early and never looked back going flag to flag for the win.
After a failed first attempt the 15-lap Limited Late Model got underway with Crawley off turn 2 with the lead briefly. Swenson bolted by on the low side to lead back to the line on lap 1. Crawley, Hunter, Ron Sprayue and Trey Votion fell in line behind the leader. Sprayue and Votion got past Hunter, with Votion then taking third from Sprayue.
Votion was looking high on Crawley for second when John Owens went up in smoke. Back under green Swenson pulled away as Votion worked by Crawley for second. Hunter was next to put Crawley back a spot taking third. Lucas Oil Drag Boat racer, Mickey Snider trying his hand at dirt racing brought out a final yellow on lap 18, re-bunching the pack.
Votion tried to dive low on Swenson going into turn 1, but Swenson was able to pull him off turn 2 and ease away. Swenson in the Swenson Racing Products, A+ Cash, Alamo Bolt & Screw, Wells Racing Engines, hybrid chassis was able to run unchallenged to the checkers.
"This is a new car and we just kind of threw some stuff at it and it worked," said Swenson. "We were trying some different things. It felt good. We had a good night. This is the first time I've raced since I totaled my car at HRP last year. It's the longest I've gone without running a car."
"I've run this race a few times in my head while lying in bed at night. It was kind of unnerving and there was some anxiety there coming back. Then there was, did I make the right choice in shocks and springs. I talk to a lot racers in my business so I take little of what other people are doing and apply it."
"It's just a feeling. I've driven a lot and we don't always get it right the first time. We just got lucky tonight."
"I really want to thank Stevie Whiteaker for making this deal happen. He helped me out finding the motor and the car. Then I have tothank all the guys back at the shop for all the work they've done on it. I haven't owned a fender in about 20 years or so. I've raced a few that weren't mine."
"We're not sure what type chassis it is. It might be a Rocket or Masterbilt that Jason Hughes reclipped with one his Modified front ends. Hughes had a lot to do with how the car was put together."

Casey Claims Street Stocks
With an extra $100 on the line, compliments of Alamo Hot Rod Parts, the 15-lap Street Stock feature was hotly contested. Early in the event leader Tommy Casey had Aaron Leddy, AJ Wernette and defending track champ Wade Jones on his bumper, literally and figuratively. After contact took Leddy and Wernette out of the mix, Jones kept the pressure on Casey. The two weredoor the final two laps with Jones sneaking by at the line. After tech, Casey(San Antonio) was awarded the win when Jones' car failed inspection for grooved tires.
Casey was first into turn 1 as the Street Stock feature fired off with Leddy and Curtis Opiela side by side for second and Dennis Hilla fourth. Jones quickly made his way forward getting by Hilla and alongside Opiela. AJ Wernette split the two teammates to grab third, with Jones taking fourth. The top five were nose to tail until Casey began to inch away.
This left Leddy, Wernette and Jones scrapping it out for second. As the trio playing a high-speed game of bumper tag, Casey increased his margin. Leddy and Wernette got tangled off turn 2 to bring out a yellow, putting Jones on Casey's tail for the restart. Jones went to the bottom trying to find a way past with only a few laps remaining.
Casey and Jones were side by side in a dead heat as they came to the line with two to go. They stayed door to door the final circuitwith Jones getting the bumper out front coming to the line. After tech inspection, Casey was awarded the victory in the Clays Auto Parts, Odie Automotive, Wernette Racing, Clays Machine Shop, Chevy Camaro.
"I made a mistake there at the end and he got around me," commented Casey. "It was my driver error, but his car wasn't within the rules and he got caught and disqualified. I'll take it. It's a bit of redemption to be standing here with the trophy."
"I really don't have time to think about who is coming behind me, or what line they're running. I'm getting too old and have enough things rattling around up there. I just have to drive and if someone gets me, they get me."
I had no idea anyone was back there when the four of us were nose to tail. I couldn't hear anyone or feel anyone. I assumed there might be someone there, but until I saw his fender near the end I didn't know he was there."
"When I saw him down there I was able to get the run down the straightaway. That kind of plays into your mind as racer when you see someone pull ahead of you (on the bottom). You want to go a little harder, that's where I made my mistake. I got on the gas too early and broke the rear tires loose."

Floresville's Dillon Gaither added another trophy to his case and pretty much sewed up the Front Runner championship for the season.Kirstin Blevins took the early lead in the 15-lapper with Trevor Bettis andLandon Sowder running side by side, as D. Gaither worked from the back. Sowder was able to get by Blevins for the lead on lap 5 with D. Gaither moving to second.
Sowder had encounter with a slower car giving D. Gaither an opening to slip past for the lead. Sowder and Katie McCall again made contact sending Sowder around, then to the pits for repairs. McCall was taken in for a possible fractured wrist. D. Gaither then pulled away on the restart in the First Choice House Leveling, Rohmer Racing, CNC Grafix, Rays Auto & Truck, Earnhardt & Sons Automotive, TJ Hopper, Tiburon for the win.
"I had a lot of fun starting in the back this weekend," replied Gaither. "They put us back there and we might just run from the back the next couple races anyway. It was fun and I had a real good time."
"Greg(Rohmer) and I talked about the beginning of the race. I was just to let it play out and see what happened. I wanted to run the outside where my car likes to run. That groove wasn't there so we had to run the bottom. My car doesn't like it, so I had to make it work to get to the front."
"I think I pretty much have the points locked up and was leading by 47 coming into tonight over Hailee Marcx. Then add the points I got from the heat and feature tonight."

Can you love someone you do not or no longer respect?
Some love, some say, is unconditional. I wonder: Is there such a thing? Does it bloom or continue even when respect has fallen by the wayside? Will you, can you, still love your spouse or friend if you learn they have acted in ways that have erased your respect? Can love and lack of respect co-exist? Why? Why not?

Jun 21 2013: I think of respect as being about behaviors. I know some people would suggest that one should respect people simply because of age or some other attribute not associated with behavior. To me. there is a difference between treating a person with respect and actually respecting the person.

The Center for Negotiation and Conflict Resolution (CNCR) is at the forefront of a movement that believes disputes can be settled by constructive negotiation and consensus-building and problem-solving approaches instead of by force or adversarial argument.
September, 2009
When it comes to wars between the states, there are significant incentives to try negotiation. It is way past time to find a better way to manage these disputes argue CNCR co-directors Stamato and Jaffe. The issue? Our local leaders are warring over boundaries and water rights.
The modern-day version of history looks like this: While military threats between states are rarer and (somewhat) less serious, these matters assure volumimous, expensive, taxpayer-funded litigation that provide often ludicrous outcomes. In the United States Supreme Court no less! What's the better idea? The governors of states or their representatives should sit down and speak, instead of wasting our money and resources posturing. And, in effectively-designed and managed forums, reach solutions to problems in the public's interest.

Health Leaders Seek Consensus Over Uninsured
In an effort to break the persistent impasse over health care coverage, and at a time when Congress has been torn by partisan battles, a nascent collaboration is taking place among 24 ideologically disparate leaders, representing the health care industry, corporations and unions, and conservative and liberal groups, a process that reached the front page of the New York Times. The group has been meeting secretly from October, 2004, to see if a consensus can be reached on proposals to provide coverage for the growing number of people who have no healthcare coverage. It intends to present its recommendations to Congress and to the Bush administration, and, several members have indicated that they would stick together to use their collective power to fight for the proposals the group generates. A collaboration to watch.....
Health Leaders Seek Consensus Over Uninsured

Alaska Rural Health Facilitation
CNCR colleague and associate, Associate Professor Mark Aakhus, Rutgers Department of Communication, recently facilitated a strategic planning meeting for the University of Alaska, Fairbanks and the College of Rural Alaska Health Programs. The process, involving 23 participants involved in the delivery of rural health in Alaska, produced a document that will be presented to the Denali Commission, which is a federal-state partnership designed to provide critical utilities, infrastructure, and economic support throughout Alaska. This document will also serve as a comprehensive planning document to identify current and future funding for the Community Health Aide Program (CHAP).
Community Health Aides and Community Health Practitioners are non-physician providers responsible for health care in the remote villages of rural Alaska (http://www.ykhc.org/581.cfm).
A key feature of the meeting, in terms of facilitation and collaboration, was the use of GroupSystems II (http://www.groupsystems.com/page.php). Each meeting participant was given a laptop computer linked through a wireless network with GSII software. GSII software optimizes networked computers to support group collaboration, problem-solving, and decision-making. The software, for example, supports important group communication functions such as brainstorming, categorizing, voting, stakeholder analysis, and writing.
The software enables people in a face-to-face meeting to maximize their time together by combining writing and speaking. Within the first 20 minutes of the meeting, for example, the 23 participants produced over 100 ideas about solving training needs. The facilitator was also wirelessly linked and used a large projection screen to display results and text to the group. After brainstorming, the group, under the guidance of the facilitator, spent the next 1.5 hours using the system to synthesize and categorize those ideas into 7 plausible courses of action to address training needs. During the afternoon, the group prioritized the courses of action and broke into sub-groups to write detailed action plans using the writing support features. The action plans were then reviewed and edited by the entire group and specific budget parameters were determined. A final group report was created and given to each participant before the end of the day.
According to Professor Aakhus, "The meeting participants and meeting conveners were happy with the process and pleased with the meeting outcomes. They had accomplished some things they had never before accomplished and built new paths for further innovation and collaboration in delivering health care in rural Alaska."
Aakhus offers the following observations on the collaboration: "In 8 hours the group produced a final comprehensive planning document. The diffuse ideas of 23 people were transformed into a coherent set of specific, fundable action items embraced by the group. This form of facilitation overcomes many problems that grow out of traditional forms of facilitation even when the traditional forms are successful. For example, there are many matters that require sub-committees or extra turnaround time once a traditional meeting is over, such as finalizing details of plans and document production. These can be accomplished during the computer supported facilitated meeting. When the group leaves the facilitated meeting they collectively move ahead on carrying out their agreements rather sub-dividing to handle the unfinished business of the meeting."

With just about 14 shopping days to go before Christmas, stores in Atlantic City are doing their best to bring customers back to the resort.
It's been nearly a month and half since Sandy slammed Atlantic city, and with just two weeks until Christmas, stores in the resort are doing everything they can to get customers in the door.
"Sketchers has some good deals. My daughter in law bought some clothes there. Some shoes, we went into the Crocs store. Lot of good deals," Sandra Lang said.
Good deals are exactly why shoppers say they are coming out to The Walk and the Piers Shops.
"Everyone has got some kind of sale going on," Brookestone Store Manager Joe Mancini said.
Whether you are inside or out, store fronts are filled with deep discount advertising as shops struggle to make a profit after Sandy.
"I just came down instead of going to the malls. I figured I could get some deals down here at the outlets," Priscilla Jackson said.
Priscilla Jackson came down to The Walk to check out the bargains and pick a few things up. Tanger says their stores often post deals on Tanger's website.
If you do come on down, you can get free parking at the garage if you spend $50, and if the Pier Shops are more your thing, you can park free there too during the week if you spend $20.
If you don't want to deal with driving you can still head to the city for it's shopping.
"We took the train from Haddonfield. I like that we can just walk right up and you don't have to drive down. It so convenient."
The shopping here is convenient, but regardless of where you go, many will be glad once their lists are all checked off.
"Christmas is almost here, I'll be glad when it comes and goes," said one lady who traveled from Vineland.

A 65-year-old man has died after officials say his parachute malfunctioned during a skydiving accident on Sunday.
According to Skydive Carolina, an experienced skydiver "succumbed to injuries sustained while making a routine skydive." The incident happened at approximately 3 p.m.
WBTV has learned that 65-year-old Wolfgang "Pete" Langehans, from Columbia, was parachuting when the parachute malfunctioned or didn't open. He had jumped from 14,000 feet.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Criminal Justice Academy confirms Langehans worked for several state agencies in South Carolina dating back to the 80's including the Department of Public Safety and Probation Parole and Pardon Services.
His last position with the state was as the Associate Deputy Director for the SC Criminal Justice Academy from 2000-2003 when he retired.
Skydive Carolina officials say Langehans was "highly experienced having amassed in excess of 5,500 jumps over the course of 30-plus years in the sport."
WBTV has learned that Langehans was a videographer with Skydive Carolina, but officials there say he was not working as a videographer during his fatal fall.
"It's a very tragic loss for me," said Skydive
Carolina owner Danny Smith.
Smith says Langehans was his best friend and had actually made several jumps on Sunday before the fatal jump.
"We had a great day together yesterday from the time he
arrived at the skydive center until the accident happened, so I'm still in
shock," he said.
He says what he'll miss the most about his best friend is
his infectious personality.
"He was very friendly. He had a smile on his face all the
time. To my knowledge he didn't have any enemies," said Smith.
"It's an unfortunate and sad day for all of us here for our
Skydive Carolina family and of course his immediately family, but I know Pete.
He would want us to continue on spreading the love of skydiving to anyone you
can because it's an incredible sport," he continued.
Officials say the accident is being investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). An autopsy is planned for Monday.

Guest Update by Dr. John E. Niederhuber
Embracing Opportunities and Overcoming Challenges
There was palpable enthusiasm this week at the AACR annual meeting in Washington, D.C., and it was warranted, given the excellent quality of science being presented and the many exciting research opportunities emerging. The meeting comes at a time of significant leadership change at NCI. With the nomination of Dr. von Eschenbach to be FDA commissioner, there is the expected speculation and concern about future NCI leadership. A dip in NCI's budget adds worries that progress will be dampened. These are valid concerns that I addressed during my remarks on April 2 at AACR.
I'd like to congratulate Andy on the truly remarkable job he has done these past 4 years. The dedication and fervor that he brought to the director's position will be felt throughout NCI and the cancer community for years to come. The transition of NCI leadership and operational control following Andy's appointment as Acting FDA Commissioner has been achieved through both formal delegations of authority and day-to-day adjustments on the part of NCI leadership and staff and the broader community. The smoothness of this transition reflects our shared commitment to the urgency of our mission, and I appreciate the tremendous support you have given to NCI and to me.
At the AACR meeting, I saw many colleagues with whom I have worked during my 30-year career as a researcher and clinician. As I told many of them, I have seen the strength of the institute's leadership and their commitment to the tremendous national research enterprise of which NCI is an integral part. That leadership role, and that interaction with and outreach to the cancer community, will not change.
There is, of course, much more that needs to be and will be done. How we approach our goals will be influenced by the institute's financial resources, which for the near future essentially are expected to be flat or slightly decreased. It's important to note that the budget situation, while concerning, is not a new phenomenon. Budgets are subject to cycles, and NCI has seen similar budget situations in the early 1980s and 1990s.
We are taking this current cycle in stride; the heads of each NCI division and center have done an incredible job of setting priorities and making very tough funding decisions. Our fiscal priorities are clear: funding first-time investigators and maintaining the R01 payline and the number of grants funded. As I travel and talk to young investigators, I've heard time and again that having an NIH grant, even if it is significantly reduced, maintains their status in their institutions and gives them the standing needed when seeking funding from other sources.
For this fiscal year, we also are increasing the resources that we set aside each year for competing research project grants (RPGs) to fund exceptions to the regular payline - typically applications of high programmatic interest. In past years, this amount has been around 10 percent of competing RPG resources; for 2006, we are holding approximately 15 percent in reserve. In addition, through our star R01 program, the payline for first-time grantees will continue to be set at levels significantly above the average R01 grant.
For the research community, the evolving budgetary environment means we must make our strongest arguments about the importance of our scientific accomplishments. It also means we must continue efforts to leverage our resources, partnering with other government agencies and with other private and public sector entities. I believe this can best be accomplished through integration within our portfolio, large-scale integrative cancer biology programs, and continued growth of multidisciplinary team science.
No one can deny that significant challenges lie ahead. Likewise, no one can deny that there also are grand opportunities - the most potentially rewarding opportunities ever. During this time, NCI's most important job is one of leadership. We must become a true resource for the scientific community.
In short, our job during this period is to help the community rise to challenges and embrace new opportunities. There is no way one could attend a conference like AACR and not come away thinking that both can be done.

November is a fairly important month in my books, aside having a lot of birthdays to attend for some close friends throughout the month, November also happens to be Financial Literacy Month. Yes, this is a Canadian thing for all of my American friends who aren't aware. This year's Financial Literacy Month was a little different. Aside from many great articles pertaining to personal finance on the web, Glen Cooke at Life Insurance Canada, he organized Blog For Financial Literacy – a campaign aimed at sharing "My Best Financial Tip" by some very skillful Canadian personal finance bloggers. The intention was to provide financial information to Canadians in a simple and easy to form and in turn supporting financial literacy.

Work Save Live – For someone who doesn't eat bacon, this recipe for bacon and egg muffins looked pretty delicious. Maybe turkey bacon could work?
Yakezie – Surviving Google updates is one thing, but did you know that thin content is out and thick content is in? It's the wave of the future according to this article, and I couldn't have said it better myself.
Edward Antrobus – There is a better option for how to get rid of an old computer. SELL IT!! Here's how to sell an old computer.
Balance Junkie – Everywhere you go, everyone and their mother are offering 0% financing. Sounds attractive, but is it really? Here's a great breakdown by Jim on 0% financing a car.
Give Me Back My Five Bucks – We all love outlet malls. I ADORE outlet malls, but have you ever thought about the tricky ways outlet malls get you to spend your money?
Eyes on the Dollar – Monthly cooking is a great way to have homemade meals without rushing around at the end of the work day. So, can one a month cooking help your grocery budget?
Thanks for stopping by and being part of this weekend's Finance Fox Weekend Recap. We hope you enjoyed this week's awesome reads, and see us again right here next weekend where we'll do it all over again.

What Does It Mean To Be An Eclipse Project?
Earlier this week, jaxenter.com reported that Director of Web Technologies at Sun Microsystems Tim Bray had posted a blog discussing where Enterprise IT were going "billions and billions of dollars worth of wrong." One of his major bug-bears, was that web-based developers could "deploy better systems at less cost in less time at lower risk than we see in the Enterprise."
In response to Bray's post, former Director of Committer Community at the Eclipse Foundation Bjorn Freeman-Benson re-posted Bray's advice on his own blog. He went one step further, claiming that "it should take no more than 15 minutes to start a new project (or new projects will go to github)."
Intriguingly, Eclipse CDT Project Lead Doug Schaefer commented on Freeman-Benson's post. "My understanding is that something like this is coming for Eclipse. Stay tuned," was his cryptic reply.
This has spurred Freeman-Benson into writing a follow-up blog, based on the theory that "soon we'll be able to create Eclipse projects in less than 15 minutes." In it, Freeman-Benson wonders "what does it mean to be an Eclipse project?" He lays down six requirements Eclipse projects had to fulfil in the past:
- "Source repository at eclipse.org (CVS or SVN)
- Mailing lists, newsgroups and forums at eclipse.org
- Following the Eclipse Development Process (committer elections, release reviews, etc)
- Clearing all code through the Eclipse IP Process
- An opportunity to be part of the annual coordinated release
- A select few projects can be part of the standard distro." Bjorn Freeman-Benson.
Freeman-Benson then factors in the advent of Eclipse Labs and the assumption that soon developers will be able to "create Eclipse projects in less than 15 minutes." This leads him to the conclusion that four of the six requirements will no longer be required. These four are:
- "Source repository at eclipse.org (CVS or SVN)
- Mailing lists, newsgroups and forums at eclipse.org
- Following the Eclipse Development Process (committer elections, release reviews, etc)
- Clearing all code through the Eclipse IP Process." Bjorn Freeman-Benson.
He concludes that, if these four requirements are to be dropped, it would mean that "if your project is Eclipse related and open source, you can be an Eclipse project." He calls this state of affairs "Foundation as a Service." To him, Foundation as a Service is where projects can "subscribe to whichever of the Foundation processes and infrastructure is best suited to that project." He suggests that each project could have badges on its project page, indicating which services and characteristics it adheres to. He envisions that in this system, "some badges would be algorithmically determined (active), some by the Foundation (ip clean), and some by the community (well documented.)"
Ultimately, he sees the Eclipse Labs, combined with the hinted shortening of Eclipse project start-up times, as a:
"great way to expand and extend the Eclipse ecosystem. It allows the Foundation to do that which the Foundation is good at while at the same time broadening the definition of what it means to be an Eclipse project." Bjorn Freeman-Benson.
Dann Martens agreed wholeheartedly with Freeman-Benson's call for Eclipse Labs to be integrated as part of the existing Eclipse infrastructure, as oppose to running parallel to eclipse.org:
"Even if that second one proves less restrictive, it still makes no sense at all. If one would object to participate in eclipse.org directly, why would they feel Eclipse Labs is a better alternative? The only value lies in being part of eclipse.org; that's why people are proposing to make that experience more rewarding." Dann Martens.
However, Eclipse Executive Director Mike Milinkovich refuted Freeman-Benson's speculation, saying:
"Your post is unfortunately off the mark because it makes an incorrect assumption. EclipseLabs projects are not going to be the same thing as Eclipse projects. As a result, what you have outlined here does not closely match the reality of where we're headed." Mike Milinkovich.
Eclipse are expected to make an announcement regarding Eclipse Labs at EclipseCon until March, giving the community plenty more time to speculate on how the proposed project will interact with eclipse.org

October 1, 2014
LOGAN, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Thousands of coal miners have lost their jobs this year. Now, there is a chance for some of them to get help when it comes to getting trained for new careers.
Mining roots run deep in southern West Virginia, but its future is about as clear as coal.
"I thought that was gonna be my retirement. I actually bought a house near the coal mine," Robin Lusk, a laid off coal miner, said.
Lusk had worked at a mine in Boone County for seven years -- until one day in June when her life took a dramatic turn. She and dozens of coworkers were laid off.
"Sixty-six of us got it that day. It's kind of like losing your family because you work with these people all of these years," Lusk said.
Workforce West Virginia is now stepping in to help people like Lusk get back on track.
"If you draw a line across the center of West Virginia and go south, there are over 3,000 layoffs since the first of the year," Brett Dillon, director of the United Mine Workers Career Center, said.
At this point, only 844 laid-off miners are eligible for funding that will help them retrain for other jobs.
"A lot of miners think they can't do anything else," Dillon said.
However, there are many jobs that a former coal miner already has skills for and could learn quickly. Dillon says there's a high demand for truck drivers, electricians, mechanics and more.
Lusk is looking for job security in the medical field.
"I'm hoping I can get a new career and start over. It's kind of rough at my age," Lusk said.
"I'll be 40 this year and I'm starting over again," Benjamin Moore, a laid-off miner, said.
After years underground many are now forced to start from the ground up, and more training is the foundation for supporting their families.
"I've got a kid in college and one in high school," Lusk said.
The funding applies to dislocated coal miners and displaced homemakers with a layoff date after March 1, 2012 covered under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act Notice.

New London - A ceremony Thursday transferred ownership of Race Rock Lighthouse from the U.S. Coast Guard to the New London Maritime Society.
The ceremony took place behind the Custom House.
It took seven years, from 1871 through 1878, to build Race Rock Lighthouse, which includes a granite, Gothic Revival, keeper's house. The light is located in the Race, the narrows between Fishers Island and the northeastern end of Long Island Sound.
Under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act, the U.S. General Services Administration has transferred 96 lights out of federal ownership, 63 to preservation groups at no cost and 33 sold at public auction.
