Our Facilities
The facilities and related support equipment in the department are sufficient for instruction and applied research.
The department is housed in two separate facilities: the Industrial Education Building and the Environmental Sciences and Technology Building. The Industrial Education Building houses five laboratories, a student resource room equipped with computers, a conference room, a traditional classroom, and one office. Program areas served by the Industrial Education Building include Architectural Sciences, Construction Management, and CAD applications. Each of the laboratories has adjacent resource rooms and/or storage areas to support instructional activities. The building provides approximately 16,000 square feet of instructional area.
The Environmental Sciences and Technology Building (EST) houses four classrooms and six laboratories that serve the department's program areas. There are ten faculty offices, the departmental office, the department head's office, an office for the Architectural and Manufacturing Sciences Institute, offices for Graduate Assistants, and offices for the support technicians. There are conference rooms for meetings, a student resource room, and storage areas for each of the six laboratories. Program areas served by the EST building include Construction Management, Advanced Manufacturing, Technology Management, and Technology Education. Approximately 22,107 square feet of instructional and support area is devoted to the department in this building. Total departmental instructional area is 38,107 square feet.
Each year the department reviews and updates its goals and objectives. As part of the review process, the department identifies resources needed to accomplish the goals, and the source of funding. As funds become available through the university, various granting agencies, or regional business and industry, the department purchases equipment to update and maintain instructional facilities.
Every effort is made to reflect contemporary technology in all aspects of instruction within the financial limits of the department and institution. The administration has consistently supported the department's effort to update facilities though matching funds or by making allocations to establish completely new laboratories.
Faculty determine the appropriateness of equipment by visiting industry, visiting other institutions, reviewing comments from follow up studies, and staying current in their areas of expertise. Also, faculty frequently discuss facilities, equipment, and computer software needs with members of the industrial advisory board and other industrial professionals.
Computer Systems
AMS students at Western have access to computer facilities within the department and in various laboratories located across campus. Campus computer facilities provide students with basic office software, Web browsers, and email. The department has 167 computers not including faculty office computers. There are 4 dedicated computer laboratories having 112 computers primarily for architectural computer aided design (CAD). In addition, there are 45 computers used in the electronics/programmable logic control (PLC) lab and the automated manufacturing lab. Labs also have three computers dedicated to machines. There are five computers dedicated to the Architectural and Manufacturing Sciences Institute, and two laptops available to checkout by faculty and students.
The computer laboratories in the Industrial Education Building provide students with project, CAD, construction and architectural animation software. Computer laboratories in the Environmental Science and Technology Building provide office, CAM, PLC, and CAD software. The department's computers are networked for file and print sharing. All campus and departmental laboratories are equipped with printers and plotters where necessary.
The university provides six main campus computer facilities, one facility in each of the extended campus locations, and one at the south campus. All are open Monday through Friday, several are open on weekends, and one is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week during the school session. Departmental computer laboratories are open 15 hours a week including time on weekends as needed.
AMS students use these computers systems in a variety of applications. Most student generated papers, reports, and presentations are completed using computer systems and software.
Architectural students take several courses using CAD software. In the architectural concentration, students complete approximately 50% of their assignments using CAD.
Construction students use office, project management, and estimating software throughout their coursework.
Manufacturing students use CAD to complete initial product designs and then download them to CAM software or makes rapid prototypes.
Other applications include office, statistical, and project management software.

text: Corn Planting Stays Ahead of Schedule Actually corn, cotton and soybeans remain on track to beat the five-year average despite pockets of wet weather. Published on: May 8, 2012 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Add it up and while 2012 may not set a record pace, there's no doubt it's above average - way above average. For the week ending May 4, more than 71% of the corn has been planted in the states representing 92% of all 2011 corn acreage. Planting in Iowa has slowed, from the dramatic pace just the week before, yet still remains above average with 64% in the ground. Illinois and Indiana are making significant progress too. Across the board the key corn states are beating their five-year averages, but for some the pace is slower. For example, Wisconsin is 34% planted versus a 30% five-year average. For the 18 key corn states, 71% is planted versus a five-year average of 47% by this time. Unseasonably warm weather has had planters rolling hard for three weeks.Corn Planting Stays Ahead of Schedule As for emergence, it makes sense that early planted corn would be beating the emergence average too. About 32% of the corn crop is out of the ground, more than twice the five-year average of 13%. Soybeans are in the planters now too as acreage of the oilseed starts to rise. Mississippi leads with 74% of its soybean crop in the ground, but Louisiana isn't far behind at 62%. Indiana is a top Midwestern soybean producer making quick work of planting this year with nearly half its soybeans in the ground already, nearly five times the five-year average. And about 7% of the soybean crop has already emerged, which is more than twice as fast as average. Those warmer Southern states are setting the pace for emergence. For cotton, about 36% of the acreage is planted, running ahead of the 28% five-year average. California, Arkansas and Arizona are all leading the way with seed in the ground. North Carolina is the only state that's statistically close to the five year average, every other cotton producing state is running ahead of the five-year average. As for peanuts, the pace is about double the average as Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Oklahoma are all pushing their planting pace. For the eight key peanut producing states, USDA is reporting 30% of the crop is in the ground versus 14% on average. Winter wheat is heading out ahead of schedule too, which has caused some worries with wet and cold weather hitting the crop. On average 63% of the crop is headed, nearly double the normal rate. Kansas leads the way, and after last week's wheat tour, where the state saw a potential 46% increase in wheat output, 92% of the crop is heading. Already, combines are rolling in south Texas into Oklahoma, one of the earliest harvest years in recent memory. Spring wheat planting hit 84% in the last week with South Dakota reporting completion with Minnesota right behind. And for that crop, 47% has emerged. Rice planting and emergence are running ahead of schedule too with 77% planted and 67% of the crop emerged. And sugarbeet planters have been rolling full out - even North Dakota has 96% of its crop planted by last Friday. Michigan beats that reporting 100% planted.

CLARIFICATION: The Cooks Tour will be held from 10 a.m. through 8 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 5.
After 50 years, Moorestown's annual Cooks Tour has become as much a holiday tradition as Christmas cookies and Black Friday sales.
The tour, sponsored by the Curtis Auxiliary of Virtua Memorial Hospital, started out as a tour of Moorestown kitchens. Event organizers would bake goods in the kitchens of the homes and sell them. Eventually the tours moved out of the kitchen into the rest of the home, and became less about cookies and desserts (though you can still buy the perennially popular gingerbread men) and more about the homes and decorations themselves.
"The Cooks Tour is significant not only to Moorestown, but to the communities in our area because all the money raised goes to funding improvements to Virtua Memorial," said organizer Gina Zegel. "The women who belong to Curtis Auxiliary give freely of their time to make a difference not just for their families, but for the community at large. It has become a local holiday tradition that people seek out and that in itself is worth celebrating."
Five homes will be showcased on this year's Cooks Tour—set for Wednesday, Dec. 5, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.—and since this is the 50th anniversary, all of the homes are much older, Zegel said. The newest home, an East Maple Avenue residence, was built in 1939, while the oldest home on the tour, on West Main Street, was built in 1842.
Here's a little more information about the homes on the tour:
- Three of the homes are on Main Street.
- The 1842 residence was originally built as a tenant house.
- One of the homes on the tour, on East Central Avenue, was the site of a wedding in 1935, Our Town.
Pre-sale tickets are $20 and can be purchased via mail (using the postcards the Auxiliary sent out earlier) or at the local businesses listed below until Dec. 3. Tickets will also be available for $25 between 9:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. the day of the tour at the Moorestown Community House.
The tickets not only gain entry to each of the five homes—which can be visited in any order—but also to the Auxiliary's 50th anniversary tea, held at the Community House from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. the day of the tour.
And of course, guests will also be able to buy the Auxiliary's traditional homemade gingerbread cookies. But arrive early—they usually go within the first couple hours, said Zegel. "We just can't make enough."
The proceeds from this year's event will benefit cardiac services at Virtua. The Auxiliary raised about $35,000 from last year's tour for the Mother and Child Unit at the hospital.
"We hope to be able to raise as much as did last year, if not more," Zegel said.
Pre-sale tickets can be purchased at the following merchants:
- Audrey Shinn Interiors
- Bedazzled
- Carl's Shoes
- Flagg's Garden Center
- Kitchen Kapers (Moorestown and Marlton)
- La Di Da Gifts
- Moorestown Community House
- Moorestown Flower Shoppe
- Moorestown Hardware
- Moorestown Running Company
- Peter Pan Gifts
- Ralph's Market
- Ramblewood Garden Center - Mt. Laurel
- Salon Caryn Max
- Signature Designs
Tickets must be presented to get into each of the homes on the tour, as well as the anniversary tea.

Our daughter will soon graduate from La Pietra. Every year has been excellent and worth every penny. La Pietra is a wholesome, supportive learning environment that is attentive to what each girl needs individually to be successful. Our daughter was able to participate in music, theatre, art, public speaking and several sports. La Pietra doesn't limit students to 1 or 2 areas, like other private schools. The teachers and administration are truely exceptional. If you want your daughter to be a well spoken, confident leader, with a healthy self-esteem who is prepared to excel at top university's, we highly recommend La Pietra!
Our daughter has been at La Pietra for 5 years, each year has been exceptional. With engaging and responsive teachers, La Pietra delivers a academically challanging, yet creative curriculum. The school goes above and beyond to foster the highest development for each student. The leadership opportunities and inclusion in sports is an experience not found at other schools. In high school they have a hands on approach to assisting graduates to get accepted to top universities and obtain scholarships. Lapietra is what all private schools should be, I call it "worry free" school!
La Pietra is an amazing school. My high school daughter thrives there -- academically and socially. It is a safe and beautiful campus, academically challenging, and fosters girls' creative and artistic side as well. If you want your girl to turn into a well-rounded, vibrant and smart young woman, then definitely check this school out. My daughter wants to get there early and stay late...all this from a teenager!
They celebrate each individual girl's artistic and academic strengths. They also make sure the school feels like a family.
They provide an education that emphasis development in intellectual, physical, moral and spiritual areas. The girls are encouraged to develop their own talents and personal interest.
i am a student at LP and i can honestly say I LOVE IT HERE! the atmosphere is great, quite and peaceful. the teachers are warm and the classes are small, so we can get more time to talk with the teachers if we dont understand something. at my previous school i wasnt doign good in math, but in my first year at LP my math grade was an A. i HIGHLY suggest this school... it is PERFECT!! (there is some drama between people, but not everyone gets tied into it and if you know the people you hang out with, you wont get tied in.) because it is an all girls school, there IS drama over guys (primarily from St. Louis because the middle school has a dance with them.. but thats ok). OVERALL... THIS IS A GREAT SCHOOL! i love it -Class of 2014 student
I love La Pietra School for girls because my daughter is getting a very good education. She loves to go to school and takes respocibility for her own homework. She enjoys school and her classmates. The Hawaii campus is so quaint and pleasant. The teachers are warm, qualified, and professional. I love the activities and extra curricular that bring my daughter and I together. I enjoy the open house meeting the parents and teachers. Yes I think La Pietra is the best school for girl s 6th to 12th grade to attendant and the school should win 20,000 for being the best!
We have found La Pietra to be excellent, beyond our expectations. Though our daughter was accepted to multiple top private schools, she chose La Pietra because of her experience on the school visit. Now, it is clear that this was an excellent choice. High academic standards, challenging and creative education, and a multitude of opportunities to build leadership qualities. We highly recommend this school.
La Pietra has got to be one of the most greatest schools that I have ever heard of!
i love it at la pietra best school ever!
After one year at La Pietra, my daughter loves it. The faculty create mentoring relationships with the girls, while at the same time giving them the independance to encourage the development of their confidence and their critical thinking abilities. The school offers a wide range of academic and sports programs and has a full and creative arts department. The girls are encouraged to participate and the entire school community is very supportive to each indivual student. What more can I say. It is a fabulous school; intimate, supportive, creative, exciting and dynamic. I recommend it for any girl.
La Pietra, Hawaii School for Girls; is an extremely exceptional school for girls ranging from grades 6-12. By far the best college prep school in the state of Hawaii. I attended La Pietra from 6th grade through 12th, and am proud to say that I am in my first year of Law School at UCLA. Without the strong educational foundation that La Pierta set for me I would have never made it this far. La Pietra challenged me intellectually while at the same time stimulated me socially. La Pietra offers a wide range of extra-curricular activits as well as core classes. This school did not only prepare me for higher level education at the University level, but also taught me the skills that I needed to be able to interact socially among my peers. On a scale of 1 - 10 I rate La Pietra an 11! Aloha!

Astronomers using telescopes in Hawaii, California and Texas have found the first Neptune-size planets outside our solar system, far smaller than any planets previously detected. One of them is perhaps only 14 times the mass of the Earth, which is small enough to have a solid surface and possibly temperatures conducive to life.
"It sounds a bit strange, but we're not thinking in terms of Jupiter masses or Saturn masses anymore, but Earth masses," said Geoff Marcy, a professor of astronomy at the University of California, Berkeley, and a member of one of two teams reporting the discoveries. Neptune is 17 times more massive than Earth, while Saturn and Jupiter are 95 and 318 times larger, respectively.
"All exoplanets found so far are almost certainly gas giants, but these new ones are a puzzle - they could be gaseous like Jupiter, but they also could have a rock-ice core and a thick envelope of hydrogen and helium gas, like Neptune, or they could be a combination of rock and ice, like Mercury."
Marcy and planet-hunting colleague Paul Butler of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, along with Barbara McArthur of the University of Texas, leader of the second team, announced their findings. Two papers detailing the new planet discoveries were submitted to The Astrophysical Journal in July and accepted earlier this month. The paper by Butler, Marcy and their colleagues will appear in the Dec. 10 issue, while that of McArthur and her colleagues has not yet been scheduled for publication.
The detection of a third Neptune-sized extrasolar planet, not yet peer-reviewed, was announced by European astronomers on Aug. 25 just a few days after its discovery. All three of these planets were discovered by tracking the star's wobble caused by the planet's gravitational tug on the star as it orbits, which produces a Doppler shift in the light emitted by the star.
The new planets, though approaching the Earth in size, are still far from Earth-like. Both whip around their stars in a few days and are so close as to be roasting on the side facing the star. Because each planet is so close to its star, its rotation is no doubt locked into its orbital period, so that it always presents the same face to the star, Marcy said.
The smaller of the two planets, with a minimum mass of 14 Earth masses, was discovered by McArthur and her team around the star 55 Cancri (or rho-Cancri). It is the fourth planet found around 55 Cancri, a yellow G star not unlike the sun only 41 light years from Earth in the constellation Cancer. The larger planet, with a minimum size 21 times the mass of the Earth, orbits a red M star, Gliese 436, which is about 50 times dimmer than our sun and located 33 light years away in the constellation Leo. A light year is 6 trillion miles.
If the planet orbiting Gliese 436 has little atmosphere to spread the heat around, it is likely to have temperatures of 377 Celsius on the side facing the star, where it would be perpetual noon, and a frigid tens of degrees above absolute zero where it's perpetual midnight. However, temperatures on the twilit border could be more comfortable, at least from an Earthling's perspective, Marcy said.
"The front is hot and the backside is probably cold, but the region in between could have moderate temperatures between 0 and 100 degrees Celsius," he said.
The near simultaneous discovery of these smallest-yet planets indicates they could be common, Marcy said.
"If you look at the 135 or so extrasolar planets found so far, it's clear that nature makes more of the smaller planets than the larger ones," he said. "We've found more Saturn-size planets than Jupiter-size planets, and now it appears there are more Neptune-size planets than Saturn-size. That means there's an even better chance of finding Earths, and maybe more of them than all the other planets we've found so far."
Butler, Marcy, and colleagues Debra Fischer of UC Berkeley and San Francisco State University, and Steve Vogt, professor of astronomy at UC Santa Cruz, discovered the planet around Gliese 436 last year after four years of observation on the Keck I telescope in Hawaii. They have been observing the Doppler shifts of 950 nearby stars, 150 of them very nearby, low-mass stars called M dwarfs, the most common type of star in the galaxy. All the M dwarfs are within 30 light years of Earth.
After following the star's wobbles for another year, the team concluded that Gliese 436 has a Neptune-sized planet of at least 21 Earth masses, though more likely 25 Earth masses, that zips around in a circular orbit once every 2.64 days. That corresponds to an orbital radius of roughly 2.8 million miles (4.5 million kilometers), or about 3 percent of Earth's distance from the sun. In our own solar system, Mercury, the closest planet to the sun, orbits in 116 days at a distance of 37 million miles (58 million kilometers).
McArthur and her colleagues in Austin discovered the smaller planet after analyzing data on the wobbling of 55 Cancri obtained with the 9.2-meter Hobby-Eberly telescope of the McDonald Observatory, in combination with data from the Marcy-Butler-Fischer-Vogt team, which had earlier discovered three planets around the star. They also used data from a rival planet hunting team directed by Swiss astronomers Michel Mayor and Diedre Queloz.
Once they had the data from previous years, most of it obtained by Fischer at Lick Observatory outside San Jose, Calif., McArthur, William Cochran, Michael Endl and Fritz Benedict organized a major campaign to study the 55 Cancri system and took another 100 Doppler measurements over the course of 190 days.
The new data revealed that the star has a fourth planet with a minimum mass of 14 Earth masses, an orbital period of 2.81 days, and an orbital radius of just 3.8 percent that of Earth. Because the orbit of the planet is probably tipped relative to our line of sight, the most likely mass for this planet is 18 times that of Earth.
Marcy predicts that more and more Neptune-size planets will be discovered in the near future, thanks to a new CCD digital camera being installed on the Keck telescopes' spectrometer in Hawaii. Built by Vogt and his UCSC team, it will allow detection of smaller stellar wobbles, around 1 meter per second, compared to today's best resolution of 3 meters per second. The planet around Gliese 436 caused it to wobble about 18 meters per second. Since most of these planets would be in close orbits around the star and with very short orbital periods, a few days of observation could yield several sub-Neptune planets, he predicted.
"This is a real breakthrough," Marcy said. "We should be able to easily detect planets only 10 times the Earth's mass. I expect we'll find dozens of planets between 10 and 20 Earth masses in the next few years."

AboutSandbox Industries Platforms
Excelerate LabsExcelerate Labs is an intensive summer accelerator for startups driven by proven entrepreneurs and investors. Led by world-class entrepreneurs, the program is unique in attracting scores of mentors from around the country to work with the teams in direct one-on-one meetings. The program selects 10 companies to participate in the intensive 13-week summer program, during which the startups build connections as well as their businesses. Excelerate culminates in an Investor Demo Day, where the companies showcase their progress and plans to angel and venture investors from around the country. We provide initial investment and mentorship to all companies in the program, as well as additional funding to some of those companies on Investor Demo Day. Learn more at the Excelerate website.
Startup Foundry
Sandbox Industries began as a startup foundry: a place where new business ideas are identified, internally developed, and new products and services are launched into the market. A fund was raised to support internal business exploration and growth.
Starting new companies is one of our primary focuses today. Our foundry's startups begin as ideas, are researched and prototyped, then launched to become operational businesses, products and services.
Our process is simple: brainstorm as many ideas as possible, quickly and cheaply test the best ideas, continue to iterate and tweak the concepts we love and that spark customer interest, and launch new businesses into the market. We iterate constantly by reviewing customer feedback and analyzing metrics to transform and improve our businesses.
BCBS VenturesA collaborative investment vehicle that seeks to invest in emerging technologies in the healthcare industry. We are always looking for partners, investors and entrepreneurs looking to transform this space with us. BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD FUND I BlueCross BlueShield Venture Partners, L.P. is a $116 million corporate venture fund sponsored by the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, an association of independent Blue Cross and Blue Shield companies.

We continue to invest in promising emerging companies of strategic relevance to Blue Cross and/or Blue Shield plans who are participating in the second fund.
Sandbox Venture Fund
Sandbox Industries is not your traditional venture capital firm. We have raised funds and made investments that make us appear as if we are, and our limited partners benefit similarly to those who invest in traditional firms, but we feel we provide more to the companies and people in which we invest. This is because we create businesses internally, through our startup foundry, and this allows us to be better investors who not only provide money, but also mentorship, learnings and knowledge each step of the way.
An $18.8 million fund was raised with limited partners to support the growth of internally-founded companies, and has since been used to make external early-stage investments as well.
Our investments are not industry specific; we invest in good ideas and good people.

Physical education teachers, commonly known as Phys Ed or P.E. teachers, are responsible for the education of primary and secondary school students in physical activity and psychomotor learning. The physical education class was once little more than an organized recess; however, Phys Ed teachers now engage students in much more than game play. Recent developments have steered the physical education curriculum towards the goal of overall wellness and teachers now incorporate health and nutrition topics into their classes.
Sokanu matches you to one of over 500 careers by analyzing your personality, interests, and needs in life. Take the free assessment now to see your top career recommendations!
Generally, physical education teachers instruct students in a variety of physical activities relevant to curriculum requirements. While teachers are typically allowed to create their own course syllabi, those outlines must adhere to school guidelines as well as the curriculum standards set out by governing bodies in the state, region or country.
When planning course outlines, physical education teachers include sports games and physical fitness techniques. A growing number of institutions will also require teachers to include classroom instruction on general physical health and well being as well as proper nutrition practices. Course content varies by age group.
After creating a lesson plan, a physical education teacher's responsibility is to motivate students to participate in prescribed activities. Teachers then evaluate the student's performance, attitude and level of physical fitness. These factors affect the student's grade, with attitude traditionally having a much greater weight than inherent physical ability. Teachers must be able to effectively evaluate these attributes in order to fairly grade their students. In addition to daily or weekly grades, students are evaluated in periodic tests that give teacher's a better picture of the student's overall health and level of athletic skill.
The minimum requirement for physical education teachers is a bachelor's degree in health, physical education or a related field. Relevant classes include kinesiology, health and wellness and exercise physiology. Undergraduates will also take aerobics and similar sport-specific classes in addition to program courses focusing on teaching methods unique to P.E. classes. Most undergraduates will complete teaching internships as well.
As in any other teaching position, physical education teachers must obtain certification after graduating from a bachelor's degree program. Requirements vary by state, region and country, but typically candidate teachers must pass a standardized exam in order to qualify for a teaching position. Private schools may waive this requirement, but typically only if the candidate possesses many years of experience in a closely related profession.
For both legal and safety reasons, many institutions also require teachers to hold cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) certification. Even in situations where this certification is not required, physical education teachers are highly conscious of safety procedures and methods of preventing injury during activities. They should also be highly observant, with a knack for recognizing when students are showing signs of heat stroke or other ailments.
In addition to a degree and certification, physical education teachers should be highly skilled in child care, supervision and psychology techniques. Good P.E. teachers know how to engage timid students, as well as how to tactfully discipline unruly students. Moreover, they have a positive attitude and easily handle all aspects of caring for and instructing large groups of students in organized activities.
In today's school systems, teachers might face overcrowded classes - some having an almost unmanageable amount of students. It is important in these situations that a physical education teacher have the ability to command students' attention while maintaining discipline and an overall positive classroom environment. Teachers must now also avoid "pick me" games that alienate some students as well as dodge ball games, which can result in physical and mental harm.
Physical education teachers benefit from a very regular schedule. When not instructing students in the gymnasium or in the school's outdoor recreation area, teachers work in their office or attend school meetings. P.E. teachers also benefit from summer and mid-session breaks, depending on the school system's unique schedule. Usually breaks are long enough to allow teachers the opportunity to pursue other pursuits, such as coaching organized sports.
While P.E. teachers do spend much of the time in their office engaged in meetings and completing paperwork, they must maintain a moderate degree of physical fitness in order to effectively teach in their area of the curriculum. Phys Ed teachers are often given the responsibility of moving and maintaining heavy exercise equipment and, furthermore, teachers who are in good physical shape act as positive role models for their students.
Other responsibilities Phys Ed teachers must also accept are duties delegated between all teachers in the school such as lunch room and recess supervision. Teachers must also monitor the hallways, participate in after-school events and perform bus duties when necessary. Periodic faculty meetings and parent-teacher conferences are also mandatory.
Physical education teachers' salaries fall somewhere between $40,000 and $50,000 annually, on average. Starting salaries are between $30,000 and $40,000 and the pay increases by around $1,000 per added year of experience. Teachers who coach or devote some time to after school activities may earn a small stipend. Additionally, most schools offer benefits like health insurance and retirement.

Story of Clay MadsenOctober 30, 1973 - November 4, 1992
Clay Madsen was born in Georgetown and raised in Round Rock. He was a dedicated young man who participated in sports while growing up in the community. He was active in the various baseball programs in Round Rock and local soccer programs until he began sports in the Round Rock middle schools, where he played all sports until high school. He played Varsity Football and Varsity Baseball at Round Rock High School until graduation in 1992. He was an achiever, both academically and physically, and set a great example for his fellow students of what being a leader in the community is all about. He planned to attend Texas A&M University and study to be an anesthesiologist. He was an active member of Central Baptist Church of Round Rock at the time of his death and a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
In 1990 he was diagnosed with a malignant cancer and fought for two years to beat the disease; however, he died of this cancer on November 4, 1992, 5 days after his 19th birthday.
The Clay Madsen Recreation center opened in the summer of 2000. The 50,500 sq. ft. facility includes a junior Olympic-size indoor swimming pool, tennis courts, racquetball courts, a gym with basketball courts, and volleyball. In addition, Clay Madsen Recreation Center offers after-school and summer camps, workshops, athletic classes, sport classes and activities for all ages.
"It's very humbling for the city fathers to recognize Clay in this way." Larry Madsen said. "I just hope this becomes a safe place for people to come and spend time. Every time I walk through here, I'm just amazed."
Although his life was short, Clay Madsen stood for courage and commitment to his family, his community and his God. His parents, Nancy and Larry, and his sisters, Jayme and Sarah, hope that the recreation center will be a safe place for learning the leadership and sportsmanship principles that Clay upheld throughout his life.

LINCOLN — Nebraska football coach Bo Pelini on Tuesday again said it's "business as usual around here" as his job status came up on the Big Ten teleconference.
"I think you guys are creating more speculation than anything else," Pelini said about questions from reporters concerning his job. "We're just looking to win a football game and move along."
The Huskers play their regular-season finale at home Friday against Iowa. There has been no comment from the NU athletic department or chancellor's office on Pelini's performance this season or on his job status.
Pelini last December was granted a one-year extension to his contract by Tom Osborne, who was just weeks from retiring as athletic director. NU Chancellor Harvey Perlman declined Tuesday to discuss when or if another extension would be discussed or his job performance evaluated.
In Osborne's letter to Pelini informing him of his extension last year, Osborne said the sixth-year head coach had received a positive performance evaluation and said the extension was "with the approval of the Chancellor."
Other items in the contract, which originally was signed on April 8, 2011:
� The contract now runs through the 2017 season to Feb. 28, 2018.
� Pelini is making $2.975 million in 2013. Under terms of the 2011 agreement, that will go to $3.075 million in 2014.
� Pelini is slated to receive a $150,000 bonus when the Huskers receive a bowl bid, their sixth straight under the coach.
� Should Nebraska fire Pelini without cause, the university would owe him $150,000 per month through the duration of the contract. However, there is a clause for mitigated damages that would decrease those payments if Pelini were to find new employment at a certain salary level.
� Osborne and Pelini signed his previous extension on Feb. 2, 2012, taking the contract through the 2016 season. That also included an amendment that changed the amount Pelini would owe the university if he resigned — to accept another college or NFL position — from $250,000 to $1 million.

Original limited-quantity lithograph from the periodical Derrière le Miroir. On Arches 100% rag paper.
Russian by birth, Marc Chagall was educated in St. Petersburg and Paris, eventually emigrating to France in 1923. His early influences were Russian expressionism and French cubism, but Chagall created a style that was unique to the 20th century. His mastery of color suffuses his paintings and prints as well as the stained glass work that he created for European cathedrals.
Established in 1955, APF Munn continues to create superiorly crafted, custom frames for fine art and mirrors. The company's frames hang in the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the de Young Museum in San Francisco, and the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. APF Munn's own holdings include fine and important works by masters of the 20th century, from Dalì to Matisse.

The California Valley Solar Ranch (CVSR) is a 250- megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic power plant in the Carrizo Plain, northeast of California Valley. The project is owned by NRG Energy, and SunPower is the EPC contractor and technology provider. The project is being constructed on 1,966 acres (796 ha) of a 4,365-acre (1,766 ha) site of former grazing land.[1] It is utilizing high-efficiency, crystalline PV panels designed and manufactured by SunPower. The project will include up to 88,000 SunPower solar tracking devices to hold PV panels that will track the sun across the sky.
Project overview[edit]
The project began construction in 2011, and began operation in 2012 with 22 MW completed. It will be fully operational by the end of 2013.[2] "More than 360 workers" are on site to date.[3] Once completed, "the California Valley Solar Ranch will power about 100,000 homes and will be one of the largest photovoltaic (PV) solar power plants in the world".[4]
The project is being constructed on 1,966 acres (796 ha) of a 4,365-acre (1,766 ha) site of former grazing land.[1] It is utilizing high-efficiency, crystalline PV panels designed and manufactured by SunPower. The project will include up to 88,000 SunPower solar tracking devices to hold PV panels that will track the sun across the sky. The project will deliver approximately 550 gigawatt-hours (GW·h) annually of renewable energy and will have a capacity of 250 MW.[5] While the plant will only have a capacity factor of 25%, its power will be generated during the middle of the day, when demand for electricity — and price — is much higher than at night.
Power Purchase Agreement[edit]
On August 14, 2008, Pacific Gas and Electric announced an agreement to buy all the power from the power plant.[6] A Conditional Use Permit application for the project was filed with the County of San Luis Obispo Planning and Building Department on January 14, 2009. On November 30, 2010, NRG Energy announced that it would buy CVSR from SunPower for "up to $450 million".[7] In September 2011, the Department of Energy (DOE) offered NRG Solar a $1.237 billion loan from the federal government to cover most of the construction cost.[8] The total cost of the project is estimated to be $1.6 billion.[9]
The Carrizo Plain is home to 13 species listed as endangered either by the state or federal government, including the San Joaquin Kit Fox, Giant Kangaroo Rat, and the California Condor.[10] SunPower has been working with the community to protect local wildlife habitat and migration patterns, and reduce the amount of traffic in the area during construction.[11] The company recently announced a plan to create a reserve for Giant Kangaroo Rat in order to address concerns about habitat destruction.
33% mandate[edit]
California utilities are mandated to get 33% of their energy from renewable sources by 2020.

Best and Worst Looks of The SAG Red Carpet
This year's SAG Awards saw plenty of action: sideboobs, a David Bowie-lookalike, and tiny stars stealing the limelight. But for us, the real draw was the incredible (and not so incredible) red carpet ensembles. Here are the looks we loved--and the ones we didn't.

Wozniacki speaks on Serena impression
Caroline Wozniacki got into some hot water in the offseason with an ill-advised impression of Serena Williams at an exhibition in Brazil. The impression involved Wozniacki's stuffing towels into her shirt and under her skirt, drawing attention to Williams' curvaceous body. Though Williams eventually said she didn't think Wozniacki meant anything by it, the impression was widely criticized, with some calling the impression racist for it's mockery of Williams' physique.
Speaking for the first time about the incident, Wozniacki told The New York Times that she was taken aback by the outrage.
"It's been done a million times before by different players," Wozniacki said. "I would never have done it if I didn't know Serena well. Obviously I know Serena very well. She's a funny girl, and I knew she would take it with a smile and wouldn't have anything against it."
Wozniacki says going forward she'll think twice — no, three times — before doing anything similar. A happy-go-lucky personality who is well-liked on the tour, the Dane says it's unfortunate she has to censor herself.
"It is because there is nothing really in that that I saw as racist or anything, so obviously I think it's a pity you can't just have a bit of fun."

Under No Child Left Behind (NCLB), schools and school districts are measured on whether the students meet performance benchmarks in math, reading and attendance for grades 3-8 and math, English and graduation rate for high schools. Schools that do not meet the achievement standards for two years are deemed high priority.
AYP status is also calculated each year for the following student subgroups: White, Hispanic, African American, Native American, Asian/Pacific Islander, Economically Disadvantaged, Students with Disabilities and English Language Learners.
NCLB identifies schools that have missed a federal benchmark in the same category for two consecutive years. Tennessee elects to alert schools and districts that are at-risk of becoming a high priority school under NCLB. These schools receive additional support and assistance from the state in order to avoid the NCLB high priority list. Schools that have missed one or more benchmarks for one year are considered target schools.
The most recent version of the Tennessee Accountability Workbook was submitted to the United States Department of Education (USEd) on November 19, 2010. All portions of the workbook have been approved by the USEd but the updated workbook is not posted on the USEd website. Therefore, a copy of the TN accountability workbook is attached for your use.
