U.S. District Judge Richard Arcara ruled that the 2004 mail and wire fraud indictment against Steven Kurtz, a University at Buffalo professor, was ''insufficient on its face..."Link (Thanks, Jody Radzik!)
''Obviously this is a weight off his back, but he still had to suffer through this for four years,'' said Kurtz's attorney, Paul Cambria. ''The last thing this guy is is a bioterrorist.''
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Buffalo said it was considering an appeal but otherwise declined to discuss the ruling.

Just came to say what #12 said.
albedo says:
Dr. Robert Ferrell, Professor of Human Genetics at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health, Steve Kurtz's co-defendant in this case, plead guilty in October 2007 to a misdemeanor charge of "mailing an injurious article" to Kurtz. He had to plead guilty because the prosecution had ruined him financially, and made his personal battle with cancer all the more impossible.
A distinguished scholar, collaborating with another (like many had done before him and fewer afterwards?), on important, cross-disciplinary work, saw himself forced to take a rotten plea deal to avoid putting himself and his family further into a financial and emotional hole. The plea deal racket is but one way where overzealous prosecutors get away with theirs.
The police thought they had a 'terrist cell' and the prosecutor, even when the evidence early-on was plainly to the contrary, wanted this feather in his cap at any cost.
Even the innocent don't come out unscathed if The System leaves this much power in the hands of politically motivated and ambitious bureaucrats. Who punishes them for the victims they create?
They could argue that the system worked in the end. Well that's just fucking great if you ignore the trail of dead and wounded.

Since Steve's wifes body was immediately taken to hide what happened to her, and Steve was obviously already being watched because of GMO's, did anyone consider an autopsy on her to find out if she had maybe been taken out by the Corporation, just to get to Steve. I know it sounds crazy, but after watching the show it was the only conclusion I could come up with that did make any sense.
Not only that I had to take down my damn foil.

Kurtz is a very brave man. The government is made up of moronic cowards. As the late Robert Anton Wilson said, the biggest and most dangerous conspiracy is the conspiracy of stupidity and stupid people.

@ #13 jeff
yes there is a defense fund. he almost certainly still needs to recuperate dough… CAEDEFENSEFUND.ORG
@ #5 agent 86
probably. i wonder if they returned his papers, computers, information about his students, etc…
@ #10 mark, #11 jean, #12 error re: 4 years
the four years isn't surprising at all considering that the purpose of this case was an attempted "hit-job", harassment and VERY politically motivated. just read electronic civil disobedience and other unpopular ideas to get a small taste of kurtz's subversive skills. he was a teacher of mine in the carnegie mellon university art department. he basically taught anarchist theory and culture-jamming to some of the brightest minds of the youth. the government attention is proof he was being effective.
pearlene says:
I just watched it (the film Strange Culture)as well. I was jaw-droppingly appalled at the Kafkaesque nightmare that Prof. Kurtz has been forced to endure. Not totally shocked, mind you, for as a child of the turbulent 50′s in the deep south, I have seen this sort of thing happen in the USA before. It scares me to no end to witness a so-called 'righteously sanctioned' part of our society (a political party) that has utilized Fear so well so that it has seized control of far too many otherwise perfectly decent people. They (that political den of anakes) are afraid of losing control. Same old game these good old boys cannot seem to stop themselves from playing. In a way, it's as if there are separate subspecies of people amoung us. The Selfish and the Giving. The false freedom patriots and those who reluctantly become heros to those of us who do see that our rights are always and chronically will be forever at risk of being taken away. I clearly see a cycle starting all over again. I do hope folks are up to the task. We need young activists now more than ever. The sh*t has already hit the proverbial fan and too many are mopping up even as I type.
Anonymous says:
these kinds of cases seem to generate a most peculiar sort of schizoid presedence; government agencies increase their power to harass individuals who, in retrospect, are no longer even remotely perceivable as any kind of "threat" to society whatsoever.
it's like chopping down a forest so you can build a giant catapult in order to shoot at the animals that no longer live there…
agger says:
Is this good news?
yes, it's great news, and I'm glad it seems to be over, BUT!
Charges should never have been made in the first place. Gratuitous and arbitrary prosecutions like this one are definitely not without cost to their victims and might have a tremendous chilling effect on public life. Something really needs to be done with the American legal system to make it less hamfisted.
Davin says:
Good news, but it's very sad that it took this long. I hope we leave our current paranoia phase behind soon. Something tells me that won't happen.

My digestive track is full of bacteria and dangerous acid. Probably shouldn't have mentioned that on the intarnet…
Teresa Nielsen Hayden / Moderator says:
Who's the prosecutor responsible for this? Does he have to stand for re-election? How about his boss? Same thing? You can go after these guys.
Who's got the scoop on that? Anyone? Be good to know. Because Steve Kurtz hasn't "beaten them." He's gone through four years of completely unnecessary hell that started the night his wife died. The kind of prosecutor who could do something like that just to puff up his own reputation is not someone who ought to be holding office in this country.
I don't know what kind of shape Kurtz is in, mentally and emotionally, but I know what his finances have to look like.
Takuan says:
lesson taken: never trust the cops.
In hindsight he should have called an ambulance and moved her to the front door. Never allow an emergency situation to develop into cops crossing your threshold. They'll screw you every time. It's their nature.
Further, you must take the baseline view that any government you must deal with is stupid, venal, incompetent and basically looking to destroy your life. That way you always begin protected and if they actually do their job by accident, it is a pleasant surprise.

GMO foods need GMO fertilizers and GMO pesticides; and then hopefully GMO sunlight, GMO soil, and GMO water. Think about the economic growth. Think about the profit. The deaths thru famine and war will be a market correction.

It did go on way too long.
Agent 86 says:
I wonder if they destroyed his "art"?
sfarmer76 says:
The prosecutor that brought charges against Kurtz should be tried in a court of law and sent to prison for four years himself.
It's bad enough Kurtz lost his wife, but the bioterrorism charges thrown up against him were a political farce.

This is great news, he should step it up and create a biological torture installation.

i just watched a movie/documentary about this, then searched to find out if he was convicted. you should watch it, it makes things alot clearer. and it will definately make you think differently about what you eat and why things were blown out of perportion.

I have just watched the film "Stange Culture".
Living in Australia, I had never heard of Steve Kurtz. I shake my head in disbelief At Professor Kurtz` treatment at the hands of the U.S Government.
To my way of thinking, it seems that the actual Government of the U.S.A, are in fact the big Monopolies and Cartels, and that the Elected Government is purely the mouth piece of these huge Muti-nationals.

They are considering an appeal?
Your tax dollars at work there.
This prosecution will have cost a FORTUNE already.
But then the District attorneys office anywhere in the US is usually very reticent to walk away with out a conviction when they have spent large.
Nice to know that this college proffessor could still be put away for bio terrrorism because otherwise it's make the cost to convictions ratio look bad.
Hurrah for the bean counters.
ill lich says:
A lifetime of watching public officials insist they have "caught their man", even when Morley Safer of 60 Minutes is showing them evidence to the contrary, has convinced me that public officials are more beholden unto their own egos than unto the public good. THAT'S why they are considering an appeal– bruised ego. They will probably insist that they need to set a precedent of some kind, that the general public shouldnt be allowed to have dangerous bacteria in their homes. But of course the bacteria in this case wasn't dangerous.
Jeff says:
I wonder what his legal fees were like? I hope there was a defense fund or something. I estimate that he's well into the quarter million point after four years. The government gets to drag your ass into court, bankrupt you, and then fail to make their case. And the citizen gets screwed all the way down unless the ACLU or some other group picks up the case. It makes me sick that justice is often about who can afford the better lawyer.
I'm very conflicted about the police. I've been harassed by local cops and haven't enjoyed it at all. But I know there are good ones out there too. It's easy to become bigoted based on limited personal experience.
PukeBazooka says:
Of all the stupid, pointless cases to prosecute, why this? What good could it possibly serve?

The Parker County Fire Marshal's mobile command unit returned to Parker County from the Possum Kingdom fire Tuesday, only to be serviced and turn around in response to another blaze.
A vehicle accident in the 4600 block of Lone Star Road ignited a fire between Whitt and Poolville in northeast Parker County around 4 p.m. County Fire Marshal Shawn Scott said the accident looked similar to the one last week that claimed the lives of three people, but there were no fatalities in this instance.
The fire put seven homes in danger and five houses were evacuated. All five families returned home Tuesday evening.
"We're at 75 acres right now," Scott said around 8 p.m. "The forward progression of the fire has been stopped, but there is a lot of fire burning in the interior. We're working on containment lines around it. We'll be here until 11 o'clock tonight working on this one."
Nearly a dozen fire departments and emergency crews responded to the fire including Parker County Precinct 1 and Precinct 2 with dozers and air support from the Texas Forest Service.
"We're applying a lot more resources because of the conditions," Scott said.
The county has been calling in at least three departments on every grass fire since the middle of July.
"It's highly unusual, but we'll continue to do so until conditions significantly improve," he said. "Because the fires grow so fast and quickly, we apply the necessary manpower as quickly as possible."
Local firefighters also responded to a 20-acre fire in Millsap on Monday. Scott said a power surge caused a transformer to turn loose. The same incident caused a fire in a mobile home in the 600 block of FM 113, but only cause minor damage as responders took care of it quickly, he said.
In Palo Pinto County, the 101 Ranch fire at Possum Kingdom Lake is nearly contained, but the threat of xquture fires has not diminished as other wildfires rage across Texas.
Even with the cooler temperatures, the fire danger remains at an elevated level due to the ongoing drought.
Since the first of June, the Weatherford weather station, located at the city's wastewater treatment, plan has measured 2.54 inches or rain with the last measurable traces occurring Aug. 14.
Weatherford's water/wastewater director James Hotopp said last week's sprinkle was only "accounted as trace precipitation."
According to weather.com, the average for Weatherford 3.93 inches in June, 2.11 in July and 2.6 in August. The area also averages an additional 11.81 inches for the last four months of the year.
But with a La Nina in the forecast, the winter months could remain dry. Colder months also bring more wind gusts to this area.
"This is simply the beginning," Weatherford Fire Marshal Bob Hopkins said. "I think we are in a drought of Biblical proportions and the fire situation is extreme. Everything is dead and the wind is key. Once we get those windy days, and that's all we're going to have now until Christmas, we are going to have an extremely challenging year, one like we've never seen before."
To help with the heightened fire danger, additional help is also pouring in from across the country to aid Texas, Hopkins said.
"I believe they are going to be stationed in strategic points throughout the state and hopefully get a handle on things soon," he said. "Today, you can do that, but on days with 30 mph winds, you can have the United States Marine Corp standing there and there is nothing they can do to fight 30-foot flames. That's the challenge we're facing.
"Folks need to be vigilant, and don't do anything that will cause a spark because that's all it will take. We're on a vigilant watch every day."
The Texas Forest Service released a public service announcement this week reminding Texan's of the ensuing wildfire threat.
"Whether you live near open grassland or in a suburban area, fire can threaten your home and your safety," the PSA states. "An estimated 90 percent of all Texas wildfires are caused by human activity. As we have seen, high winds and dry conditions can set the stage for potentially severe fires, putting lives and property at risk."
The frequent fires are causing other organizations to speak out on fire safety as well. The Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety is offering a checklist to help prioritize maintenance and renovation projects for homeowners that will decrease their fire risk.
"Wildfires are particularly dangerous, because they are highly unpredictable," they state in a press release. "Their paths can change quickly as winds shift. Because there may only be time to evacuate, being prepared all the time is really important. This will determine how well your home stands up against a wildfire, even if you aren't home when the fire hits. Fortunately, many of the most effective things you can do to protect your home are relatively simple and free."

County treasurer dies of apparent heart attack
The death of Parker County Treasurer Jim Thorp came suddenly Tuesday. Thorp, 50, died of an apparent heart attack early Tuesday afternoon after walking into Tri Cities Urgent Care Clinic in Willow Park with chest pains where he collapsed, staff at the treasurer's office have confirmed.
Brock ISD enters lawsuit
At least one Parker County school is waging war against the state in response to a cut in public school financing.
Brock ISD board members recently approved a resolution with the Equity Center to file a lawsuit against the state's inequitable public school finance plan.
City denies WLL request
Within the same hour, the Weatherford City Council approved the 2011-12 budget and turned down a request from the Weatherford Little League for the city to take out a $500,000 loan.
Commissioners raise tax rate
Despite a packed courtroom and the protests of more than 20 residents, Parker County commissioners gave final approval Monday night to a $35,692,247 general fund budget for fiscal 2012 that bumps the current tax rate up two cents — from 24 cents/$100 assessed valuation to 26 cents per $100 valuation — while preserving generous health care benefits for county employees.
The budget is up from last year's $34,518,166, a 3.4 percent increase.
Our town is tops
Historical homes, horses and the proximity to Fort Worth and Dallas are all listed as reasons why Weatherford made the cut as one of the top 25 places to retire in the United States.
History of neglect
The half-brother of Kamden Bailey — the 1-year-old, law enforcement claims, was killed by his mother's boyfriend last week — was removed from his mother's custody in 2008 due to neglect, court records show.
Severely injured wreck victim loses home to fire
Millsap resident Amanda "Mandy" Kiles-Williams has been in the intensive care unit fighting for her life since a head-on collision Thursday that crushed her car and left her severely injured.
Nobody had told her as of Monday, but Kiles-Williams lost everything she owned Saturday in a fire that destroyed the home she shared with her brother and 16-year-old son.
Putting in their two cents worth
With 15 days until the budget filing deadline, county commissioners finally chose a direction Thursday, voting to proceed with Judge Mark Riley's proposed general fund budget as a working document, with the exception of employee health care benefits, which are still in flux.
The $35.6 million proposed general fund budget — up from $34.8 million last year — operates with a tax rate of 26 cents per $100 property valuation, up from 24 cents this year. The rate is the effective rate, which means it will generate the same amount of revenue for the county as last year when applied to this year's lower property valuations.
Area man charged in stabbing
A 33-year-old man was booked into the Parker County jail Tuesday on a warrant for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after an alleged May stabbing.
Plat office cut
County commissioners, looking for $2 million in cuts to the 2011-12 budget, abolished the platting office in a 3-2 vote Tuesday, recovering the $74,000 salary of the office's one employee as a first step.
Judge Mark Riley and commissioners John Roth and Dusty Renfro voted in favor of the cut; commissioners George Conley and Craig Peacock voted against it.

Cover Story
Massive attack
From Dj Psycho to Major Lazer, here are the 12 acts you need to see
Published: May 23, 2012
"We put the 'no' in techno"
Who: Benoit + Sergio
From: Washington, D.C., Berlin
Sound: The pair shows an uncanny command of the middle register on such singles as "Everyday," so it's no wonder they describe their "New Ships" EP (on Detroit's Visionquest) as "a dream-pop tinctured confection within a dance-music wrapper."
Set: "Think Public Enemy circa 1989: Sergio channeling the manic spirit of Flavor Flav; Benoit combining the dangerous powers of Chuck D and Terminator X. Except we will be playing new dance jams with the spirit of '70s classic rock."
When: Saturday, 4:40-5:30 p.m., Beatport Stage
More: soundcloud.com/benoitandsergio, facebook.com/benoitandsergio
"If this is the prison, life is the sentence."
Who: Marcellus Pittman
From: Detroit
Sound: Pittman came up under house demigod Theo Parrish, and his Unirhythm label has been adding to the canon of deep set floor fillers like "Chicago Nights" and "There's Somebody Out There," while his output teamed with Parrish, Rick Wilhite and Kenny Dixon's 3 Chairs collective.
Set: Pittman's promising the straightest of dope: "'80s and '90s dance classics, as well as current dance and disco edits." Double-whammy, whoa!
When: Saturday, 6:30-8 p.m., Made in Detroit Stage
More: on.fb.me/Lkq8kJ
"To define is to limit."
Who: Guy Gerber
From: Israel
Sound: The Israeli-born producer recently relocated to L.A., which make sense given his cinematic take on dance music, as heard on his new "The Mirror Game" EP for Detroit-based label Visionquest. Gerber brings high-profile chops to a dependable, progressive take on what used to be called tech-house; he's been tapped to record the June installment of the prestigious Fabric Live mix series, and is also working with Puff Daddy (!) on an album. Bad boy, indeed.
Set: Gerber is teaming with Berlin-via-Detroit prog-techster Seth Troxler for a back-to-back two-hour set. "It's always a little magical when we play together because we blend so perfectly into each other," Gerber says. "We don't practice together much, which leaves us both more space to improvise."
When: Saturday, 10 p.m.-midnight, Beatport Stage, back-to-back with Seth Troxler.
More: facebook.com/guygerber
"A new world is coming, be ready"
Who: Damian Lazarus
From: L.A. via London
Sound: Lazarus' production and mixing chops extend to the bidness of dance music. He's got cred out the ass — his Crosstown Rebels label was voted '11's top label by DJ-culture bible Resident Advisor, which has released an alarmingly consistent streak of sophisticated feel-good tracks from Amirali (favorite of UK tastemaker Pete Tong and embraced by NPR music supervisors) and Jamie Jones (an Ibiza upstart who's become Resident Advisor's No. 1 DJ). Lazarus' own productions show a limitless command of the context and nuances of dance floor euphoria, ranging from main-room staples to Spiritualized-ish comedown tracks for after-afterparties.
Set: Armed with pre-release albums from Amirali and Jones, Lazarus is promising "brand-new music plucked from space, perfectly orchestrated for Detroit Earthlings."
When: Saturday, 7-8:30 p.m., Beatport Stage

Chinese Christian Herald Crusades
Chinese Christian Herald Crusades serves the Chinese immigrant population through community and social services. The Herald Youth Center serves the children of this community. Through its after-school youth center, Bridge in the Gap Mentoring program, Herald Volleyball Club, English Study Buddies, Walk with U, Autism Support Group, Herald Gospel Camp, and other Camp Herald programs, CCHC seeks to give Chinese youths living in the Chinatown and Brooklyn neighborhoods the tools necessary to integrate into American culture and society. Our center also provides a safe environment for kids to go after school.
Mentor youth; Tutor English; Coach volleyball; Serve children with special needs
HFNY Contact:
Volunteer Opportunities:
"Walk With U" - A Saturday program for special needs children ages 6-12. Every Saturday we have different activities for this group of children to help them learn educational and recreational things and occasionally, a field trip is part of those activities. We are looking for patient and caring Christian adults to commit at least 2 Saturdays to being with the children. Experience with special needs children a plus but not required. Most of all, these children just need you to love them. If you have a small group that can commit one Saturday a month for the year, please contact us! Dates: Saturdays 2pm-6pm.
For more information contact Phoebe at 212-334-2033 x20.
English Study Buddies - Tutors are needed for immigrant students for one-on-one English tutoring. Many of the students are new to the states and have a difficult time in school due to poor language skills. Some Chinese (spoken) is helpful but not necessary. In addition, many of the kids just need to know that someone cares for them since many of their parents work long hours. Through tutoring, we hope to share the love of Christ with them by our actions. If you are willing to commit 1-2 hours every Saturday to help a child with their English language skills, this is for you. We can provide some training and reading/language materials. Dates: September-June, Every Saturday, 1-2 hours AM or early PM, no holidays.
For more information contact Sky Li at , 212-334-2033 x20.
BRIDGE IN THE GAP (BIG) Mentoring - The mission of BIG mentoring is to provide NYC's at-risk Chinese youth, typically from immigrant backgrounds, with caring Christian adult role models. The primary goal of the program is to offer a mentor to a young person to assist in their adolescent development and to express a redemptive Christian testimony.
Mentors are matched with one youth of the same gender. In addition to one-on-one meetings, there are also scheduled bi-monthly group field trips. We are looking for volunteers who will commit to a year-long program. Training and on-going spiritual guidance provided.
For more information and an application, contact Sky Li at .
AFTER SCHOOL program -
The Herald Youth Center (HYC) is a fun and safe space open during after school hours for youths in the neighborhood. HYC seeks to fill that gap to provide a free and alternative to the streets and local internet cafes. Volunteers are needed to work with kids on homework and tutoring in specific areas.
For more information or to apply, please contact Eva Chan at .
Other areas for volunteer involvement:
Herald Volleyball Club (HVC) is looking for coaches who play volleyball (no coaching experience required!), and also be role models for high school students. Students will have the opportunity to learn a relevant biblical truth through the season's theme that's also related to sports, hear the gospel shared through their coaches' testimonies, plus spend time in small groups in addition to improving their volleyball skills.
The spring season will be a 7-week program that runs from March 29 to May 10 on Saturdays from 10am-4pm. More details about HVC can be found here: http://heraldyouth.org/programs/volleyball/. If you are interested in volunteering as a coach, please see this page: http://heraldyouth.org/volunteer/hvc/.
For more information or to apply, please contact Eva Chan at .
Autism Ministry - A ministry for Chinese families with children on the autism spectrum ages 4-11 years old. Volunteers are needed for the Children's Play Group (while their parents have fellowship simultaneously) to help with games and activities. Children will engage in exploring art materials as well as interacting with peers and volunteers. These interactive games with music and commands will help them in developing gross/fine motor coordination skills and learn to cooperate with peers. Bible messages will be integrated into activities. Dates: 3rd Saturday/mth from 1-4pm.
For more information contact Phoebe at 212-334-2033 x20

J.P. Weigand & Sons and a group of unnamed real estate developers plan to launch a new website Friday aimed at increasing sales of new and custom houses in the area.
The website — wichitaareanewhomes.com — will include listings for all new homes available in the area, not just Weigand's, said Richelle Knotts, supervising broker of Weigand New Homes.
Knotts said Wednesday that even with a decline in recent years of new home construction, she thinks sales of new homes have been losing ground to sales of existing homes.
She said she thinks the new website will raise the visibility of new home listings, especially for out-of-town buyers. Builders and agents will not have to pay fees to have their homes listed on the site.
"It's more of a consortium effort," Knotts said. "What we're really trying to do is drive traffic to new homes."
The site will initially include a list of 15 area homebuilders and 25 new residential developments. The site will include listings in Wichita as well as Andover, Bel Aire, Derby, Goddard, Maize, Park City, Rose Hill, Sedgwick and Valley Center.
Knotts said the site will be operated by a company called Wichita Area New Homes, which is a partnership between Weigand and "silent development partners."
The site will also connect potential buyers with a new home consultant who can represent them through the process of buying a new home or building a custom home, as well as assist them with the sale of their existing homes.
Craig Sharp of Craig Sharp Homes, who is among the builders listed on the site, said he's optimistic that the site will help his and other builders' sales and improve demand for new homes.
"Market share has been dwindling compared to resale to where it's really low," he said. "I think we're trying to give the customer a customer-friendly tool to reach every builder, every subdivision.
"Activity breeds activity, so I think … the trickle-down effect of that is going to hit us."

Thom Talks Jesse Jackson Jr. on Good Day Chicago
Yesterday Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife Sandi received their sentences. Thom dropped by the Fox Chicago studios to talk about how this story fits in with Illinois' checkered past and how it all fits in a larger historical context.
Big East small schools win off the court!
For the perennial contenders, the ones seemingly cemented in the top-10 every year, the 64-school March Madness tournament is a culmination of unending sweat equity, hundreds of recruiting hours, game planning, team building, booster relations, all the ingredients needed for success.
Sadly, only one team will finish their season with a win, and even with so much at stake, with so much invested time, energy and dedication that stands to be for naught, there's still a positive flip side.
The little guys—the schools jumping for joy simply from the getting the opportunity to dance—can make more of an impact in just the first week of games than the powerhouses can make winning the whole darn thing.
How about 15th seeded and Sweet 16-bound Florida Gulf Coast's (FGC) huge upset of two seed Big East Co-Champions Georgetown University? Wow! And fifth seed Wisconsin losing to Mississippi!?
From a communications, PR point of view you simply can't beat the national exposure that small schools like FGC, Iowa State, St. Louis, San Diego State, Bucknell, and Butler get this time of year.
Butler's back-to-back trips to the championship game in 2010 and 2011 had a seismic impact on the school's recruiting, both athletic and academic. Butler's last second loss to Marquette Saturday night was one of the top three games in this year's tournament.
And it's that kind of watershed impact media coverage can have that inspired me to write about the week's non-tournament college basketball news: the potential 12-year $500 million agreement between the "New" Big East (future name, TBD) and Fox Sports.
As conferences tend to these days, the Big East has been undergoing some restructuring lately. It's been reported on for weeks now, but the dust finally settled just a few days ago. Who's in, who's out?
While Marquette, DePaul, Providence, St. John's, Seton Hall, Villanova and Georgetown will stay, confirmed additions to the "new" Big East conference include Xavier, Butler and Creighton, with Dayton and St. Louis slated for potential membership in the 2014/15 school year. (6 of those schools made it into this year's NCAA tourney)
Combined, the five new schools don't even equal the enrollment of three individual schools that will be exiting the conference (Cincinnati, Rutgers or South Florida). In total, even with the additions of Dayton and St. Louis, Big East undergraduate enrollment will plummet from over 260,000 to just below 93,000.
In spite of all that, the deal the conference just inked with Fox Sports will grant them national, exclusive, cross-platform coverage over television, radio and online.
For the smaller schools, this agreement is an absolute coup!
Schools like Xavier, Creighton, Butler and Providence, whose enrollments are one fifth to one TENTH the size of some of the schools now making new homes in conferences elsewhere, will be receiving equally disproportionate media coverage.
It's a media partnership that must have the presidents and trustees of these schools doing back flips!
Lopped in with this news is the preservation of a crucial branding element that founding Big East members have secured through the continuation of the conference's annual tournament at the prestigious Madison Square Garden.
I might argue that with more teams now being concentrated in the Midwest, a Big East conference tournament in Chicago would be more appropriate (I may have some bias in the matter), but from an exposure standpoint, the schools retain the opportunity to showcase themselves before a New York City audience—media market number one.
In just a few weeks, college basketball will crown its lone king. But with the publicity victories that the "New" Big EAST just scored for the next decade, it's a little less obvious who the real winners will ultimately be.

Some of the biggest minds and names in both media and education are convening at a summit in New York City next week. And Edudemic will be there.
Nearly all of the big NBC names will be in attendance and they'll be leading panels and discussions on all things education. Be sure to check out the panels below and the Education Nation Summit website for all the details. But here's the skinny:
It's happening the week of September 25th on Rockefeller Plaza. The Summit will feature educators, parents, policymakers, elected officials, business leaders, students and engaged citizens in a national discussion about the challenges and potential solutions spanning today's education landscape.
This year's lineup of education panels will include sessions on teaching and testing, the brain science behind early learning, and the value of higher education in today's economy.
While the Summit is an invitation-only event, NBC will be streaming both days of panel sessions LIVE at EducationNation.com on September 26th and 27th, so be sure to tune in! (You may even see your friendly Edudemic writers as we'll be transmitting live from the big tent on 30 Rock all day.) The sessions will also be available for on-demand viewing after the event.
To date, confirmed sessions at the "Education Nation" Summit include:
Brain Power: Why Early Learning Matters
Every child starts with one thing in common: the potential to learn. And that's where the Education Nation Summit will begin-with a visual journey into the science of brain development and early childhood learning-showing how a child's first few formative years impact his or her entire life.
NBC News' Chief Medical Editor Dr. Nancy Snyderman will moderate this session on Monday, September 26th. Jennifer Garner, artist ambassador for Save The Children's U.S. Programs, is confirmed to participate on the panel.
What's In A ZIP Code? A Look At Inequality Across Our Public Schools – President Obama has said that education is the civil rights issue of our time. Schools face unprecedented pressure to increase achievement for the most disadvantaged students, but is it possible to fix education without first fixing poverty?
A national movement has coalesced around the idea that effective teaching trumps all, while many prominent educators say that even the best schools can't overcome basic issues like poor health and poverty, pointing to stark inequities in the system. NBC News' Brian Williams will moderate this discussion on Tuesday, Sept. 27.
Who's Getting Graded: Putting Accountability to the Test
A national movement has coalesced around the idea of "no excuses" for failing schools as dozens of states are changing the way they evaluate teachers in order to factor in student achievement. The nation's largest teachers' union even voted this summer to endorse linking teacher evaluation to student learning.
Meanwhile, the National Academies of Science says that test-based accountability hasn't improved student learning over the last decade, a few high-profile cheating scandals have made national headlines, and some argue that the focus on testing is having the unintended consequence of holding back students' creativity and problem-solving skills. What does it all mean, and where do we go from here? NBC News' Chief Education Correspondent Rehema Ellis will moderate the discussion on Monday, September 26th.
A Matter of Degrees: Measuring the Value of Higher Ed
More than ever before, job openings are requiring workers with at least some college education. But even though more students are entering college than ever before, the nation is a long way from meeting the "preparation gap" for the future workforce.
This session will take a complete look at the scope of the college completion crisis-why so many students drop out and what to do about it and the value of higher education in today's economy. This panel session will be moderated by Andrea Mitchell, NBC News' Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent and host of MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports," on Tuesday, September 27th.
Classrooms In Action: A Window On Great Teaching – "Education Nation" takes a live look into classrooms around the country to see firsthand what effective teaching truly looks like.
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and President of the National Education Association Dennis Van Roekel will participate in a discussion about how and why these classrooms were selected and the overall power of great teaching. NBC News' Ann Curry will moderate this session on Monday, Sept. 26.
Global Influence: What Can We Learn? – Compared to the rest of the world, U.S. high school students rank 14th in reading, 17th in science and 25th in math – at or below the international average in all three subjects – and the country has fallen from leading the world to now ranking 9th when it comes to young adults who complete college.
To have a globally competitive economy and workforce, what should America be learning from the leading nations? And with new research suggesting that we're not heeding the lessons from these countries, will the U.S. rise to the challenge? NBC News' Chief Education Correspondent Rehema Ellis will moderate this session on Tuesday, Sept. 27.
The Changing Face of Education – More than 1 in 5 students in the nation's public schools are Latino – constituting the largest, and fastest growing, minority group in our education system. But Latinos also have the lowest student achievement levels – with less access to early childhood programs, lower reading and math scores, a higher chance of dropping out of high school and worse odds of attending college than any other group.
Meanwhile, with Latinos expected to represent 60% of the nation's population growth over the next four decades, the country's economic future depends on ensuring that Latinos are prepared for college and 21st century careers. Telemundo's Jose Diaz-Balart will moderate the discussion on Monday, Sept. 26.
Motor City On A Mission: Taking The Driver's Seat In Education – In the last two years, Detroit has stunned the nation with the auto industry's historic turnaround. Now, the Motor City is taking aim at a crisis of equal proportions – its failing schools – with an unprecedented gamble on school leadership. A historic partnership between the state, city and Eastern Michigan University will create a new school district made up of the most troubled Detroit schools – but its success will depend on a new system-wide leader and principals, who are given wide latitude to run their schools.
This discussion will feature some of the leadership forces behind Detroit's "Education Achievement Authority," who will be joined later in the session by other education leaders who have beaten the odds in school systems across the country. MSNBC's Tamron Hall will moderate this session on Monday, Sept. 26.
Going Local: What A City Can Do For Its Schools – Mayors understand that improving their local economies requires a well-prepared workforce – and that the buck stops with them. For some, that means tackling issues like health, hunger, homelessness and safety. For others, it means involving the entire community in expanding access to college.
Participating mayors join education and community leaders to discuss how they're addressing education and workforce challenges – and the partnerships they're forming to get students all the way from pre-K to college graduation. NBC News' Lester Holt will moderate the session on Tuesday, Sept. 27.
Voices of a Generation: Students Speak Out – On Tuesday, Sept. 27, "Education Nation" will host a unique session moderated by NBC News' Ann Curry. In this discussion, young people provide insight into their own experiences with education and what they think needs to be done to ensure that every student receives a world-class education.
These students and former students discuss how they're overcoming challenges to find their own path to success, and what the nation's government, business, media and education leaders attending the Summit can learn from their experiences with the education system.
Stepping Up: The Power of a Parent Advocate – Whether they're advocating for more time for arts and music in their local school or for major changes in state law, parent involvement often gets started based on just one thing: the needs of their individual child. Across the country, parents are leading the charge for "trigger" laws to overhaul failing schools, to scale back high-stakes testing – and everything in between. Now some are even asking: Do parents need a union of their own?
On Monday, Sept. 26th, NBC News' "Education Nation" will explore the issue of parental involvement and advocacy, with Natalie Morales moderating the discussion.
Edudemic will be featuring multiple articles, follow-ups, interviews, and features on the Summit during and afterwards. Be sure to check back often as there will be fun surprises and giveaways to all the wonderful Edudemic readers. Stay tuned! (Get it, that's a tv joke…NBC…is this thing on?)

So, it has been a really long time since I posted on my blog. So much has happened since my last post. We sold our home and bought a house in town. It is closer to everything and we really love it. I will have to post pictures soon. We did a lot of work before we moved in and I have a tone of pictures of all of that. We moved in at the end of April so it has almost been a year in our new home.
Over the summer, we changed our eating habits . . . drastically. I have so far lost 43 pounds and My husband has lost 50. I will post more about our journey soon but, people have been asking me for the recipes for some of the protein shakes I make. The other day I made a Red Velvet Cake Batter Protein Shake that was absolutely amazing. I took inspiration from this shake that I had found on Pintrest. It is very good. I tweaked it a bit and I added this amazing product to get the cocoa flavor and the red color with out all the bad for you food dyes. So here is the recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Red Velvet Cake Batter Protein Shake
Load the following ingredients into your blender and blend well for 30 seconds or so:
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (I use Silk brand as it doesn't contain Carrageenan)

Stars in city to remake classic film (From Bradford Telegraph and Argus)

John Braine's famous novel is filmed again, 51 years after the original
10:20am Monday 27th December 2010 in Bradford By Emma Clayton, Leisure and Lifestyle Editor
Actors Maxine Peake and Matthew McNulty have been announced as the stars of a new version of Room at the Top, which has been partly shot in Bradford.
Filming on two 60-minute television films of Bingley writer John Braine's classic post-war novel – which will head up a new BBC4 season next spring – finished in the region shortly before Christmas.
As reported in the Telegraph & Argus, a civic ball scene was filmed at Bradford's City Hall, and other locations included Halifax and Leeds.
Regional screen agency Screen Yorkshire worked with Great Meadow Productions, the company behind controversial Channel 4 drama Bradford Riots, on providing crew and locations for the four-week shoot.
The first screen version of Room at the Top since the Oscar-winning 1959 film stars Matthew McNulty as Joe Lampton, a working-class young man with ruthless ambition. When he sets his plans in motion, he soon realises that the road to the top is rockier than it first appeared. Matthew has been in TV dramas such as Cranford, Shameless, Five Days, The Royal and Lark Rise to Candleford. He also appeared in the film Control, alongside Menston actor Sam Riley.
Maxine Peake plays Alice Aisgill, an unhappily married older woman who has a clandestine affair with Joe.
Maxine's TV credits include The Secret Diaries of Miss Lister, Red Riding and Dinnerladies.
Jenna Louise Coleman, best known as Jasmine Thomas in Emmerdale, plays Susan Brown, the daughter of a rich businessman who is used by Joe as a means to his quest for social promotion. Despite his single-minded ambition, Joe cannot choose between the two women as he struggles against his own self-destructive will.
Room at the Top will be the centrepiece of Love and Sex in 20th Century Literature on BBC4 next March.
Chris Hordley, production liaison manager at Screen Yorkshire, said: "We are very excited to be working with Great Meadows Productions and BBC4 to bring this iconic literary classic, which has its roots firmly steeped in the region, to the screen. This year we've seen an increasing number of producers recognise the seductive combination of diverse locations and experienced crew that Yorkshire has to offer. Viewers can look forward to seeing a fantastic range of television drama, filmed here, on their screens in 2011."

Explore Psychology @ IUPUI School of Science
Explore the basic principles underlying behavior and mental processes. Learn how to solve social and personal problems through hands-on research, service-learning and collaboration with professionals in the community.
June 15, 2010 — Duration: 7:33
[L. Ashburn-Nardo] You know, if you think about just a layperson and what they spend most of their time thinking about its people. So as a social psychologist, in particular, you know I can�t think of a discipline that you know could be more relevant to our everyday lives. Understanding people and why we do the things we do, understanding behavior and thought processes, those questions in and of themselves are really exciting.
[D. Appleby] Psychology is the scientific study of behaviors and mental processes. Behaviors and mental processes is what we do, what we do, and what our friends do, and what our loved ones do. And in order to be able to say, I think that I have fun with psychology, what that means is that I�m starting to understand things a lot better about why I do certain things.
Another aspect of our department, which is really quite different from a lot others is that we have things called track concentrations. We have four of them. We have three graduate programs and what this allows is for undergraduates to be taught by graduate faculty and to not only get a degree in psychology, either a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree in psychology, but also to basically concentrate in a particular area of study. The four we have right now, tracks, are clinical psychology, and industrial organizational psychology, and the psychology of the dictions, and also behavioral neuroscience.
[M. Jeschke] It�s a really exciting major, because well it�s so broad, you can do lots of different things with your Bachelors Degree. You can go on and work in human resources, business, work for non-for-profit, or work in social services, or human services. Or you can take the Graduate school path and go on in psychology, or we have students who go on in law, medicine. We even have students who go on in other health disciplines, like OT and PT. So there�s just a variety of things that a student can do in psychology.
[K. Rand] So, there�s opportunities to get involved, not only with working with people and doing sort of perceptual experiments or social cognition experiments, but also working with animals in the laboratory to understand sort of the psycho�physiology of processes that are going on.
As you combine sort of the benefits of having a research focus big institution that has lots of connections in an urban setting with medical school and the other professional school and political and business enterprises in the city, but also that sort of small school feel that the faculty are approachable. They�re not going to sort of gruffly tell you to go away and leave them alone. Undergraduate education is one of our priority goals here.
[T. Allen] To be able to do research here at IUPUI, it�s just an amazing experience that I think it�s just irreplaceable. I�ve currently, well, I will be starting with my seventh research project, so I�ve had lots of opportunities. I�ve worked on many different projects. They�ve ranged from looking at actually undergraduate research, like trying to assess the benefits of it and all the way to looking at clinical treatments for integrated dual disorders, and also looking at goals.
[L. Ashburn-Nardo] So, they know how to find information. They know how to make evidence based decisions. They know how to look at data and decide, you know, what�s the best course of action here, and that course of action doesn�t have to be in research. It could be in counseling; it could be in teaching; it could be in business; it could be in a number of different kinds of careers.
[M. Jeschke] We�ve created sort of a little community here and a little family, and we have lots of opportunities for students to be engaged right here in psychology, which will make this big environment seem small.
[K. Rand] It kind of has a small college atmosphere around here. We definitely know our students by name and face.
[C. Frye] There�s an open door policy with every teacher that I have. Basically, if you ever want to talk, if you have a question, if you just want to stop in and chat with someone about anything, there�s always an open door policy, and you can always walk in at anytime and ask any question. They�re very open, and they never make you feel like you�re asking a dumb question, even though you might be asking a dumb question.
[J. Guare] I really found that I love being in the classroom. I like working with students in an educational mode like the classroom. It gives me a chance to get them excited about material maybe they haven�t been exposed to before. It gives me a chance to explain things to them in ways that maybe they haven�t heard before, and just the interaction with the students I find very rewarding.
[A. Barnes] I mean, it�s really the best deal for the experience you�re going to gain. With the psychology department, the reason why I don�t feel like I�m a number is because the faculty are really good advocates. I haven�t really needed an advocate in the sense that I�ve gotten in trouble or I�ve had issues, it�s more so when I do things, they get recognized.
[C Frye] The psychology students at IUPUI are actually a pretty tight group. Since I�ve been here, I�ve actually really found kind of a niche, if you will. At IUPUI, the students, we all know each other in the school of science, especially psychology.
The one thing about IUPUI that I like more than anything else is how informative IUPUI is. I feel like I�ve been hand fed exactly, �okay, you want to succeed? Here�s the formula for you to succeed.�
[T. Allen] I think that IUPUI has, I think it�s just the environment here, the opportunities that are available, and really just, I think the faculty and the academics really make this school.
This, it�s just, coming from a different university, and then also having an experience here, It�s just, I think this experience is so much richer, and you just gain so much more knowledge and hands-on experience that I just don�t know, I don�t know if you can gain that at other universities.
[J. Guare] We really are strong on undergraduate education and training. We have lots of resources available to students. I think the faculty are committed to teaching. They�re also committed to research as well, and the blending of their research and teaching is a wonderful mix for students to learn about.
We have other resources as well. We have a good advising program, so undergraduate students can get help. I think as their trying to figure out, �what do I want to do, what courses do I want to take,� these kinds of things, there�s just a very rich environment.
[J. Cahall] I think it all starts with the people. I mean, I think anywhere that�s the case, and I think that the people here I think that their work speaks for itself. And, I think that the metrics of the school speak for itself too, but I think most of all it�s the people, and I think that anyone who is a perspective student that gets the chance to really interact with some of the faculty here or even some of the other, you know, students or mentors, advisors, I think that they�re all outlets where the department can really amplify you know its strengths.

Hotel Features
The specs: A historic downtown hotel with 156 rooms and suites and a prime location—across the street from the Vancouver Art Gallery, one block from the famous shops of Robson Street, and within walking distance of Stanley Park.
The look: Georgian Revival elegance with a Papa Hemingway feel—lots of burnished wood paneling, clean lines, and an extensive modern and contemporary Canadian art collection.
The experience: Quiet and ease in the middle of the city's bustle. Rooms are plush, with pillowtop mattresses, heated bathroom floors, and rainfall showers. Staff are attentive and gracious but know when to leave you alone. Perks include a soothing saltwater lap pool, a Bentley that will take you on a shopping excursion or a tour of Stanley Park, and a fragrance butler who will come to your room, gratis, with a choice of 11 scents—six for women, four for men, and a unisex one for either. Hawksworth is one of the best restaurants in the city (try the short rib appetizer and the Yarrow Meadows duck breast).
If only... the footlights that illuminate architectural details were toned down a little so they didn't shout "Ta-da!"
