Burnley lifeguard is snap happy
1:00pm Saturday 22nd February 2014 in News By Sophia Rahman, Reporter
A LIFEGUARD from Burnley is giving the public a snapshot of her life.
Jade Robinson, 21, has taken a picture every day for the past year and posted the images on daily photo journal blipfoto.
Pictures include images of the Burnley skyline, her cat Pixie, a view of the clouds from a plane window and her friends and family.
She said: "Blipping a picture a day opened my eyes to more things and stop me taking everyday things for granted.
"My view of the environment has definitely changed.
"Working day to day, seeing the same things day in day out, you are pushed to challenge yourself and the environment to look beyond what you normally see.
"Blip has also challenged me to come up with ideas before the next day and challenge myself to try bring that idea to life."
"Even though my pictures are pretty average, looking back through my photos and remembering how I felt and what happened during that day makes it a beautiful thing to have.
"My favourite blips are of when I have managed to capture the happiness of one of my family members as I will always have those pictures to keep.
"To someone thinking about taking on a 365 project I would say, do it."
Joe Tree, founder and CEO of the blogging site, said: "Blipfoto is a unique community where people from all walks of life save and share their lives through pictures and words - one day at a time.
"Blippers include photography enthusiasts, students, young mums, retirees, sea captains, chefs, foodies, birders, journal keepers, singers, authors, media correspondents, charity workers, politicians and creatives.
"The website design is clean, simple and free of advertising."

As a child, Mike Brown had all the trappings of an astronomer-in-the-making, with space books, rocket drawings, and a poster of the planets on his bedroom wall. On it, Pluto was depicted as "this crazy and very eccentric planet," he says. "It was everyone's favorite crazy planet." Brown still recalls the mnemonic he learned for the names of the planets: Martha visits every Monday and—a for asteroids—just stays until noon, period. "The 'period,' for Pluto, was always suspicious," Brown says with a laugh. "It didn't seem to fit. So maybe that was when I first got the idea that Pluto didn't belong."
Nowadays Brown, a planetary astronomer at Caltech, has no doubt about Pluto's place in the solar system: "Pluto is not a planet. There is no logical reason to call Pluto a planet." Like a growing number of his colleagues, Brown believes Pluto is best understood as the largest known member of the Kuiper belt, a band of rocky, icy miniplanets that orbit the sun in a swath stretching from beyond Neptune to a distance of nearly 5 billion miles. "I don't think it denigrates Pluto at all to say that it is not a planet. I think Pluto is a fascinating and interesting world, and being the largest Kuiper belt object is an honorable thing to be."
No longer is Pluto a lonely outpost in an otherwise empty frontier. A string of discoveries has revealed that it is merely the entry point to a vast and still mysterious wilderness that teems with uncountable numbers of unusual objects. They come in a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes, many with their own moons, some in peculiar orbits that have been pushed by Neptune or pulled by passing stars. Stranger objects are likely to be found. Astronomers are only on the edge of discovering this vast new world.
Distance from sun: Unknown
Diameter: Unknown
Orbit: Unknown
Features: Unknown
In the 1940s and 1950s, astronomers Kenneth Edgeworth and Gerard Kuiper independently predicted that a reservoir of icy rocks lay beyond the orbit of Neptune. Many became short-period comets, with orbits of 200 years or less, that blasted in toward the sun, crossing the orbits of most planets. Excluding Pluto (discovered in 1930), the first official Kuiper belt object was not found until 1992, by astronomers Jane Luu and David Jewitt. Since then, in excess of 800 have been detected in the 2-billion-mile-wide Edgeworth-Kuiper belt (commonly truncated to Kuiper belt), including a few huge objects that are as much as three-quarters the size of Pluto (which is 1,430 miles wide). The two biggest have been found by Brown and his colleagues. At least 100,000 objects 30 miles wide may occupy the belt. Some of them, say researchers, are almost certainly the size of Pluto—if not larger.
But our solar system doesn't end there. Far beyond the Kuiper belt lies the mysterious Oort cloud, a spherical shell that stretches to the boundaries of interstellar space and blasts its own dark ice balls toward the sun. Trillions more bodies may lurk there. A few may be as big as Mercury or Mars. Imprinted in those far-flung worlds, scientists say, is the history of the solar system before planets came to be. Every Kuiper belt object and Oort cloud entity is a geologic fossil, preserved at low temperatures, largely unaltered by time, and made up of the material from which the solar system formed 4.5 billion years ago. Understanding their compositions—and why they are where they are today—will help scientists reconstruct the nascent moments of our planetary neighborhood and our sun's younger days, when it was just one of a cluster of stars.
Each of those objects has a tale to tell that is as lively as those that the nine—call it eight—planets have told so well. Let their stories begin.
Scientific nomenclature can barely keep up with the range of odd objects that astronomers are discovering in the solar system these days. Future discoveries will no doubt suggest new categories and further blur the boundaries of old ones. In the meantime, here's a field guide to the known residents.
PLANETS lack a standard definition. If a body orbits a sun and was made spherical by its own gravity, astronomers tend to call it a planet. Yet that definition would include at least four asteroids and dozens of Kuiper belt objects.
ASTEROIDS (a.k.a. minor planets) are rocky, metallic, or carbonaceous bodies whose solar orbit takes them beyond Mars, into the so-called asteroid belt. They typically lack sufficient gravity to retain an atmosphere. The latest count of asteroids in the inner solar system, inside Jupiter, is about 700,000.
COMETS are icy bodies that follow elliptical orbits. Those that have orbital periods shorter than 200 years originate in the Kuiper belt. Longer-period comets originate much farther out in the Oort cloud. The known comets number in the thousands.
CLASSICAL KUIPER BELT OBJECTS orbit the sun at 3.9 billion to 4.5 billion miles out. They are sometimes called cubewanos, after QB1, the first Kuiper belt object discovered (1992).
RESONANT KUIPER BELT OBJECTS orbit in synchrony with Neptune. Pluto is the prototype: It orbits twice around the sun for every three solar orbits made by Neptune. About 20 percent of known RKBOs are thought to orbit with a similar 2:3 resonance and thus are called plutinos. Six other resonant orbits have been detected.
SCATTERED KUIPER BELT OBJECTS have very eccentric and tilted orbits that carry them from around 3.3 billion miles from the sun to almost 100 billion miles out. They may have been kicked into their far-flung orbits by Neptune's gravity.
A New Miniplanet Rises
Detected last November by Brown and his colleagues, using the 48-inch Samuel Oschin Telescope, Sedna is the largest, farthest, coldest, and arguably weirdest world yet discovered in the distant solar system. It may be as large as 1,100 miles in diameter, and it has a mysterious deep red surface—neither particularly dark, like a typical rocky object, nor bright and icy like Pluto and other Kuiper belt objects. Its orbit is even more peculiar. It passes no closer to the sun than 7 billion miles, nearly twice as far away as Pluto ever gets, and it sails beyond the outer edge of the Kuiper belt, possibly into the Oort cloud. Is it a stray Kuiper belt object, a comet from the inner Oort cloud, or something different?
Discovered: November 14, 2003
Distance from the sun: 8 billion miles;
ranges from 7 billion to 90 billion miles
Diameter: 800–1,100 miles
Orbital period: 10,500 years
Features: It's the coldest body
in the solar system, with
temperatures that approach
400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Understanding Your Solar System 2.0
It's not about planets anymore. In the past decade, astronomers have spotted hundreds of objects in the Kuiper belt, some nearly the size of Pluto; countless more await discovery. Even the distant and far-reaching Oort cloud is coming into scientific focus. Preserved in these nether realms are trillions of rocky, icebound insights into the early days of the sun and the formation of the solar system. In spatial scale and information potential, they are the solar system—past, present, and future.
Inner Solar System
0–5.2 astronomical units, or AU
One astronomical unit (AU) equals the distance from
the sun to the Earth, or about 93 million miles.
The inner solar system spans everything from the sun out to (but not including) Jupiter, 460 million miles away. The solar system as a whole formed roughly 4.5 billion years ago from a collapsing disk of dust and gas. Swarms of boulder-size objects called planetesimals slowly accreted to form the rocky planets—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars—and their various and sundry satellites. The leftovers linger today in the asteroid belt. Farther out, well away from the sun's warmth, gases like hydrogen and helium failed to vaporize and instead accumulated to form the gaseous outer planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus.
Asteroid Belt The majority of asteroids occupy an orbit about 210 million miles from the sun, between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. A smaller group orbits at about 370 million miles; a third group occupies the same orbit (though not the same spot) as Jupiter. At least a hundred asteroids are a mile or more in diameter, and a dozen or so are 200 miles wide. The largest, Ceres, is 600 miles wide.
Kuiper Belt
The Kuiper belt is a vast reservoir of icy rocks that extends from about 3 billion miles from the sun, beyond Neptune's orbit, to about 5 billion miles out. Beyond that, the number of detected objects drops precipitously until one reaches the even more distant Oort cloud. There may be billions of Kuiper belt objects in all, including at least 35,000 that are more than 60 miles wide. Pluto, at 1,430 miles wide, is the largest known member and the only one known to have an atmosphere. Its possession of a moon, Charon, was long thought to set Pluto apart from other denizens of the frozen region, but a dozen Kuiper belt objects are now known to have partners.
Bodies in the Kuiper belt are believed to have formed roughly where they now reside, and many have stayed largely undisturbed in temperatures averaging –375°F. They come in a variety of colors, from gray to dark red, indicating their compositions, but all are thought to be half ice and half rock. On occasion, a gravitational bump from Neptune tosses a Kuiper belt object toward the sun. Then the heated ices sublime, producing a bright halo of glowing gas that trails behind the rock: the coma and the tail of a comet, which fade again as the object retreats past Neptune.
Oort Cloud
The entire solar system is enveloped by the Oort cloud, an enormous sphere of nascent comets extending more than 9 trillion miles into space. The cloud is thought to contain trillions of loose lumps of dust and volatile gases, near-perfect samples of the stuff from which the planets were made.
Dutch astronomer Jan Hendrik Oort first proposed the existence of the cloud in 1950 to explain the funny paths of comets that take more than 200 years to orbit the sun. This model suggests that the cloud's contents started out closer by, near Jupiter and the other gas giants, until gravitational encounters with those planets knocked the primordial bits into the hinterlands. Barely 5 percent of that original material remains in the Oort cloud; the rest was ejected entirely from the solar system.
Over time, the gravitational yanks of passing stars jostled the orbits of the objects, leaving no hint of their formerly neat, flat paths around the sun. (However, the orbits of objects in the loosely defined inner Oort cloud, located a few thousand astronomical units from the sun, do retain some memory of their origins, so this part of the cloud is thought to be flatter.) The outer, round cloud would have taken about a billion years to form, making it the youngest structure in the solar system.

As astronomers trip over one another hunting for planets outside our solar system, some of the most exciting finds may be closer to home.
Since 1998, Mike Brown, Chad Trujillo of Gemini North Observatory, and astronomer David Rabinowitz of Yale University have used the 48-inch Samuel Oschin Telescope at Palomar Mountain in Southern California to scan the Kuiper belt and beyond for objects two-hundredths the brightness of Pluto. Every night, a mosaic of 112 CCD detectors snap digital images of a hand-size patch of sky. So far the search has turned up 35 bright objects. Over the next two years, the team plans to scan the entire northern sky.
A mosaic of eight CCD detectors coupled to the 3.8-meter Mayall Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory near Tucson, Arizona, scan for faint Kuiper belt objects as small as 30 miles in diameter. A second, identical camera is connected to the Blanco Telescope in La Serena, Chile. To date, the survey has spotted 411 objects. The goal, says survey leader Robert Millis, is to discover enough objects to begin to understand the scale of the belt, the three-dimensional distribution of objects in space, and their orbits.
For a portion of each month, the 0.9-meter and the 1.8-meter telescopes at Steward Observatory on Kitt Peak scan the skies for comets, Earth-bound asteroids, and other small bodies in the solar system. Although the main quarry of Spacewatch is not Kuiper belt objects, astronomers did spot 560-mile-wide Varuna.
Using the 3.6-meter Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii and MegaPrime, the world's most powerful astronomical camera, astronomers aim to discover and track the orbits of 1,000 Kuiper belt objects along the ecliptic. First results from the Very Wide Survey will be released in early 2005.
Astronomers are using four small robotic telescopes to simultaneously scan the same patch of sky. The telescopes look for the slight dimming of distant stars that occurs as nearer Kuiper belt objects momentarily occlude them. The hope is that objects as small as two miles wide will be detectable. The survey monitors 15,000 to 18,000 stars each night.

Amarillo, Texas - As Amarillo continues to grow, city leaders look to change its annexation policy.
Planning and zoning staff members are talking with commissioners about changing the philosophy of current annexation plan practices.
They are looking to be more proactive in how they protect the areas that are growing.
Currently Amarillo has a little over 100 square miles within the city limits, and the community is continuing to expand.
In the past, annexations happened if a property owner specifically asked to be annexed.
With so much growth going on right now outside of the city limits, city planning director Kelly Shaw says we need to protect those areas by expanding.
He says, "basically west of Soncy, south of Hollywood, those are some areas that we're really seeing some rapid growth. Some of those areas we might look at very soon. This year, the remainder of this year, and next year."
Many people have negative thoughts about annexation because they think taxes will go way up.
Shaw says, "a lot of those areas that we are looking at are appraised as agricultural land. So the taxes, yes they would be added to the city's tax roll, but the actual amount of revenue on a property that's appraised as agricultural land really isn't significant. So it's not like we would be annexing to generate a lot of revenue."
A main purpose, he says is to protect areas for further growth, not be a revenue producer.

Across the state of Florida, we honor veterans through our military license plate program. But it wasn't until recently, that Vietnam was added to the list. For 40 years it was absent from the books.
On Friday, Representative Jimmy Patronis presented the very first plate to Robert Hughes. Hughes came to Patronis a few years ago, telling him about the problem.
Plates existed for Korean, World War II and even Iraqi troops, but not for those in Vietnam. Not realizing it, Patronis jumped on it.
During the 2012 legislative session, a bill was passed allowing for Vietnam veterans to be recognized. Representative Patronis shared the great news with area veterans who are proud of this distinction.
So many were eager to apply for the plate, that they rushed to the tag office following the presentation.
More than 453,000 Vietnam Veterans that live in the state will be eligible to buy their own military license plate.
"Everybody wanted to get their tag and that was the whole point of it. The whole point was to create some awareness that this tag was available and that we appreciate you." Patronis said.
To get your own license plate, download the application to the right and take it to your nearest Tax Collector's Office.

When Anne Frank sat down with her diary, she could never have imagined the impact her words would have on generations of readers. By the end of the 1980s, sixteen million copies of her diary had been sold worldwide, and it remains the most often read primary account of the Holocaust. On July 15, 1944, Frank writes, ''I feel the suffering of millions.'' She had no idea that her story would become the unlikely testament of those millions.
A self-described clown, Frank had no close friends with whom she could be completely open, so she invented one in the persona of "Kitty," to whom her diary entries are addressed. Although Frank's diary contains nothing of her experience at Bergen-Belsen, the concentration camp where she and her sister died, it does provide an altogether human portrait of the Jewish suffering during the Holocaust.
After the Secret Annex was invaded, the pages of Frank's diary were left scattered on the floor. Miep Gies, one of the people who had assisted the hideaways for over two years, discovered the pages and kept them safe. When Mr. Frank returned as the only survivor, Miep gave him the diary. Having just learned that Anne had died, Mr. Frank found reading the diary very painful. At the urging of his friends, he decided to publish the diary after deleting certain passages he considered unsuitable for widespread release. The Dutch version was published in 1947, and the English translation was first published in 1952 with an introduction by Eleanor Roosevelt. After Mr. Frank's death in 1980, a complete version including the previously omitted content was released as the Definitive Edition.

TEL AVIV, Israel, June 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
As part of its efforts to expand the range of derivative products traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE), the TASE board of directors approved the launch of stock options on the shares of two additional companies, Bezeq and Perrigo, at its 12.6.2014 meeting. The trading of these new options will commence on 28 August 2014.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130117/588933 )
The launch of the new options follows requests made by market players, and enables investors to trade derivatives on telecom shares, an industry not currently represented in the stock option market. In the coming period TASE plans to undertake measures which will facilitate the launch of stock options on all TA-25 index constituents.
This year TASE celebrates the five-year anniversary of stock options trading. TASE's first stock options were launched in 2009 and options on 8 individual shares are currently traded (Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Bank Hapoalim, Bank Leumi, Israel Chemicals, Bank Mizrachi Tefahot, Bank Discount, Ratio Oil Exploration and Avner Oil Exploration), with 6,500 contracts on average changing hands each day. There has been a steady increase in the volume of stock option trading and in April of this year a record daily level of more than 11,000 contracts was attained.
TASE works towards increasing the liquidity of stock options through the encouragement of market making and through marketing and training activities for TASE members and market players.
Robby Goldenberg, Senior Vice President and Head of the Trading and Derivatives Department, remarked: "Since both Bezeq and Perrigo are among the top ten most liquid stocks on TASE, it is anticipated that the launch of stock options on these shares will be vital to the growth of Tel Aviv's stock derivatives market. It implements the recommendations of the Ben Horin Committee regarding the need to expand TASE's financial product offerings. We will continue to take steps to improve TASE's sophistication and efficiency through, among other things, the launch of derivatives on additional indices and, insofar as possible, the launch of options on all individual TA-25 index shares.

An astonishing 26 million American adults are estimated to be living with kidney disease, and most are completely unaware of their condition, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
"This number increases the most recent estimates of the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) by 30%, from 10% of the U.S. population to 13.1%. "Our study demonstrates chronic kidney disease in the United States is more common than previously appreciated. However, less than 1 in 10 individuals with kidney disease is aware they have a problem," said Josef Coresh, MD, PhD, lead author of the study and professor in the Departments of Epidemiology and Medicine at Johns Hopkins University.

If you're making a list and checking it twice this holiday season, check this out: you have much more to give than you ever imagined.
The most substantial, personal gift you could ever give is one that could make as many as 50 people extraordinarily happy. And it won't cost you a penny.
Fifty. That's how many people the National Kidney Foundation says can be helped when just one person—you, for example—signs up to become a potential organ or tissue donor. There will come a time in your life when you'll have organs and tissues to spare, and now's the time to commit that you're willing to "Share Your Spare." MORE
Julie Goodwin has a built-in bias. She prefers children over adults. At least, when it comes to illness. "Children have no control over their illnesses, and in some cases, adults do," says Goodwin, a fellow in pediatric nephrology at Yale New Haven University Hospital. "And yet, children handle illness in such a more graceful way, which makes me want to help ease their pain and find cures for them."

Aura even finds time for some fun, rooting on her beloved Dodgers and dancing away on Saturday nights with her friends. MORE
Dear Friends,
As everyone knows I'm usually the one replying to letters, not writing them. But since this cause is close to my heart, I decided to take pen in hand.
This year, your support helped the National Kidney Foundation touch the lives of millions of people through programs in research, organ donation, patient services, advocacy, and both public and professional education. I know how important these programs are to average Americans because I have seen their power through my daily newspaper column.MORE

NASHVILLE (AP) - A former Nolensville police officer has been sentenced to a year in prison for mail fraud.
U.S. Attorney David Rivera said in a news release Tuesday that 53-year-old Kenneth Lee of Nashville was sentenced in U.S. District Court on Monday to 12 months and a day, followed by a year of supervised release.
Lee pleaded guilty to the charge, which stemmed from a traffic stop. The prosecutor's office said testimony was given at the plea hearing that Lee stopped a woman for a suspected violation and, after learning she didn't have a driver's license, told her he wouldn't arrest her if she paid him $200.
The release said Lee acknowledged he received three money orders totaling $200.

CATEGORIES MoviesIt's the rare filmmaker who can admit when his movie doesn't turn out so well, and Michael Bay has joined that club -- sort of.
In a recent interview promoting his latest project, "Pain and Gain," Bay responded to a question about the contrast in his editing style on that film and his earlier work, including 1998's much-maligned "Armageddon."
"I will apologize for 'Armageddon,' because we had to do the whole movie in 16 weeks," Bay told The Miami Herald. "It was a massive undertaking. That was not fair to the movie. I would redo the entire third act if I could. But the studio literally took the movie away from us. It was terrible. My visual effects supervisor had a nervous breakdown, so I had to be in charge of that. I called James Cameron and asked 'What do you do when you're doing all the effects yourself?' But the movie did fine."
Indeed, despite the negative critical response, the film raked in a worldwide total of $553 million. And while Bay's not claiming all responsibility for the film's shortcomings -- "It was the studio's fault" seems to be a popular excuse in Hollywood -- at least he owned up to their existence.
Plus, he's right about "Armageddon"'s third act. If we had a chance to rewrite it, you can bet it would include Bruce Willis facing down the asteroid with a defiant "Yippe-ki-yay, motherf*cker." But maybe that's just us.

Washington, DC—This week before the House Education and Labor's Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions Subcommittee, the issue of mandatory pre-dispute arbitration clauses in employment contracts was front and center during its hearing on "Protecting American Employees from Workplace Discrimination."
Jamie Leigh Jones, a former Halliburton contractor working in Iraq who had previously revealed that she was drugged and gang-raped by fellow Halliburton employees, testified about how she is fighting to obtain access to the justice system because she unknowingly signed an arbitration clause as part of her 18-page employment contract.
When asked by Congressman Tierney if she was aware at that time that she could be signing away her rights by agreeing to arbitration, Jones responded, "At age 20, I had no idea what arbitration was…," and further explained in her testimony that, "I had no idea what an arbitration was other than a tiny paragraph included in the lengthy document that mandated that I could not get justice from the civil court system."
Ms. Jones asked the Committee in her testimony: "How can this Country not protect us contractors, who have left our families to help our country in an effort to build democracy overseas, when we are victimized criminally?"
To date, no criminal prosecutions have occurred in her case. When she turned to the civil courts for justice, she found that her employment contract contained an arbitration clause, which if upheld, could result in preventing her from seeking justice through the civil court system.
Congresswoman Sanchez pointed out that H.R. 3010, the Arbitration Fairness Act, would prevent the use of pre-dispute binding mandatory arbitration clauses in certain employment agreements, as well as in consumer and franchise agreements. This legislation will ensure that the decision to arbitrate is truly voluntary and that the rights and remedies provided for by our judicial system are not unknowingly waived.
H.R. 3010 currently has a bipartisan group of 70 cosponsors, and has been referred to the House Judiciary's Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law, chaired by Congresswoman Sanchez.

Online learning is definitely a different way of learning and discussion opportunities with peers help to see other perspectives. While being a pre-doctoral student at the seminary school, I imagine everyone has some form of a job whether it is a stay at home parent or working full time causing workload to be challenging from time to time. Sometimes the workload is so great that the information is being memorized and not allowing for true comprehension of text material.
My best learning experience has been with two classes that I dreaded the most and that was Church History and History of Women in the Church. I appreciated Church history because I now have resources to go to when I want to learn more instead of using Google for biblical answers. The best kept secret is the history of women in the church as well as the Dr. Mournet with New Testament II as he brings the early church to life. Registration process has always been a breeze and I would recommend the school for this reason alone.
There are so many internship opportunities and the professors are very helpful.
The academics are excellent and so are the professors.
Ashland's academics are very well known. Most students travel all over the country for Ashlands academic program. Their nursing school is rated one of the highest!

The North Bridge of Cosgrove Avenue is a very popular spot for Lowcountry fishermen, but Wednesday's high tides caused problems for one man.
Charleston police spokesman Charles Francis said a man parked his Toyota 4Runner on the banks of the Ashley River off Cosgrove Avenue Wednesday morning to fish, but a short time later, crews had to fish his SUV out of the river.
Francis said crews with Jennings Towing & Garage Inc. were called to the scene to remove the vehicle.
A Live 5 News viewer sent us the picture of the SUV sitting next to a boat in the water. A coastal flooding advisory in Charleston County lasted until 10 a.m.

The University Marketing Council monitors all Old Dominion University publications and advertisements to ensure they project a consistent editorial and graphic identity that upholds a dignified image of the university.
These editorial guidelines will assist authors and editors on campus, and anyone who prepares communications for and about the university. A style guide simplifies the guesswork when preparing copy for publication, and a consistent style projects a more professional image of Old Dominion University.
This style guide gives specific information about Old Dominion University's preferences for copy, treatment of titles and degrees, campus descriptions and buildings. It contains exceptions to the Associated Press Stylebook, as well as other academic style formats, such as MLA and APA guides and the Chicago Manual of Style. When conflicts arise, the ODU style manual takes priority.
The Associated Press Stylebook is the backbone reference used by Old Dominion University for communications to an external audience. If the AP Stylebook doesn't address a topic, the preferred first source is Webster's New World College Dictionary.
Our Name
"Old Dominion University" should be called by its formal name upon first reference and have a prominent place in the publication. "Old Dominion" or "the University" is acceptable in subsequent references. Restrained use of "ODU" is permissible.
- The College of Arts and Letters (Arts and Letters)
- The College of Business and Public Administration (College of Business)

Our Mission
Old Dominion's mission has several important goals that can be included in text: With its main campus residing in metropolitan Hampton Roads, the university is "a dynamic public research institution that serves its students and enriches the Commonwealth of Virginia, the nation and the world through rigorous academic programs, strategic partnerships and active civic engagement."
Enrollment/Degree Programs
These are always changing. From the ODU home page, click "About ODU" then "University Facts & Figures" for the latest official numbers.
Additional References About the University
University Description
(from Old Dominion's vision statement):
"Old Dominion University will be recognized nationally and internationally as a forward-focused metropolitan university with a collaborative and innovative approach to education and research that spurs economic growth, focuses on student success, engages civic and community partners, and uses its connections with the military and maritime industries and its exceptional strengths and leadership in related areas to provide practical solutions to complex, real-world problems."
Or in condensed form, expressed by University President John R. Broderick:
"That the university be recognized as one of the nation's pre-eminent metropolitan research universities by contributing to all aspects of life in Hampton Roads."
University Location
Old Dominion University's main campus is located in Norfolk, Va., in the metropolitan Hampton Roads region of coastal Virginia. Depending on the audience, you may want to add the university operates regional higher education centers in Virginia Beach, Tri-Cities and on the Peninsula and reaches students at all points of the globe through the Teletechnet distance learning network.
Other Campus Descriptors
"Old Dominion's campus is situated on more than 251 acres bounded on two sides by the Elizabeth and Lafayette rivers. The northern section of the campus is the oldest portion, consisting of shaded brick walkways and stately buildings, while the southern end of the campus features newer academic buildings which line an eight-acre lawn."
In addition, depending on your audience, please note that to the west, Whitehurst residence hall sits along the Elizabeth River waterfront, adjacent to the university sailing center, with a front-row seat to spectacular sunsets and a passing parade of maritime activity. Bring your binoculars!
University Village Reference
On the east side of campus is University Village, a 75-acre expansion area with classroom buildings, student apartments, the Ted Constant Convocation Center, theaters, an art museum, a research park, the University bookstore, shops and restaurants, parking and a hotel.
A Quick Look at Style
Capitalize "University" in many cases when referring to Old Dominion University, but not when referring to universities in general. When the university acts like a person, and in formal uses (commencement), capitalize "the University." When "university" is used as a place or as an adjective, it takes the lowercase treatment.
- Old Dominion University is a dynamic public research institution located in Norfolk, Va. The university is situated on 251 acres . . .
- The University today petitioned the General Assembly to recognize its need for additional state funding.
- If you want to attend a university that has a profoundly multicultural student body and faculty, Old Dominion University is the place for you.
The preferred style is lowercase, following the name of the person, set off by commas. For example, "John R. Broderick, Old Dominion University's eighth president" or "President John R. Broderick" when preceding the name of the person.
Preferred style is to describe the faculty member's rank and discipline after the name: "John B. Ford, professor of marketing, and Qiu Jin, associate professor of history." Use uppercase "Professor" (or Associate Professor, or Assistant Professor) when it comes before the name of a faculty member.
Academic Degrees/Departments
Bachelor's degree: Should not be capitalized as in "bachelor of science (B.S.)/bachelor of arts (B.A.)." May use capitalized "BA" or "BS" with or without periods as long as they are consistently referred to this way throughout the text.
Master's degree: Should not be capitalized as in "master of science (M.S.) in chemistry or master of arts (M.A.) in history." May use "MS" or "MA" with or without periods as long as they are consistently referred to in this way throughout the document.
Doctoral degree: At Old Dominion, faculty who hold a doctoral degree are generally identified by their academic ranking on the first reference (see Professor above). Another choice includes "John Jones, Ph.D.," to avoid confusion with the title "Dr." which, in print, most often refers to a medical doctor, dentist or veterinarian. Do not capitalize "doctorate in psychology."
Several programs award educational specialist or graduate certificates in specialized areas of study.
If necessary to list a person's degree, list only the highest degree earned and any relevant professional designation. Do not add the word "degree" after an abbreviation of the degree.

Las Cruces Country Club could become medical center
Updated On: Jul 18 2014 12:01:27 PM CDT
The former site of the Las Cruces Country Club could be turned into a multi-use plaza with a medical center.
The Greenes have lived on the edge of the country club for more than 20 years.
Over the years, they've seen the once-green golf course deteriorate.
"We've watched the beautiful greenery and enjoyed the golfers all these years and now we're watching brown grass out there which is sad to see," said Patsy Greene.
Greene's backyard was once the vibrant Las Cruces golf course. Now it's full of weeds.
Developers want to transform the 110-acre property.
"We think this kind of facility isn't just for retirees but we think the mix of health care uses and retirement and easy walking distance to healthcare or retail or restaurants is good for that demographic," said Las Cruces developer Bob Pofahl.
The project is called Park Ridge. Developers are proposing a plaza where Las Crucens can live, work and play. The plaza will include a medical center complete with a small hospital, an assisted living facility, and a rehab center. The design also includes plans for a small retail center with high-end retail stores and places to live.
"When you have the mix of uses together you really sustain the long term viability of the neighborhood," Pofahl said.
Greene said she will be glad when the dead golf course is gone.
"We understand there has to be change because its never going to be like it was so we're going to have change back here," she told ABC-7.
Other residents are eager to have the project in their backyards.
"It's gonna service the community as a whole and raise the property values in our community right here around the park," said Billie Haynie.
Developers said they want to keep the area full of nature and walking trails.
Before any construction can begin, the city must approve several zoning changes for the property.
The planning and zoning commission will discuss the first zoning change on June 25. ABC-7's New Mexico Mobile Newsroom will be there to bring you the latest updates.

The American presence in Afghanistan will shrink and take on a supporting role for Afghan forces, President Barack Obama announced at a Friday press conference.
The transition, which comes months after 33,000 troops who were added as part of a boost were withdrawn last fall, will involve having Afghan forces take over primary responsbility for the entire country's security, Obama said in a statement
"And by the end of next year, 2014, the transition will be complete --Afghans will have full responsibility for their security, and this war will come to a responsible end," Obama in his statement.
Obama made his remarks as part of a visit from Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who was on hand at the briefing, the White House announced.
American soldiers will continue to support Afghans, the president noted.
"Our troops will continue to fight alongside Afghans, when needed," he said in his statement. "But let me say it as plainly as I can: Starting this spring, our troops will have a different mission -- training, advising, assisting Afghan forces. It will be an historic moment and another step toward full Afghan sovereignty -- something I know that President Karzai cares deeply about, as do the Afghan people."
A security agreement for America's post-2014 role in Afghanistan is still being discussed, Obama said.

Tim Tebow - #15 - QB
|6' 3"/ 236 lbs.
|Makati City, Ph
|Years played
|2010, 1st round, 25th pick by Broncos

The Jets signed WR Mardy Gilyard to their active roster on Wednesday, the team announced.
AFC East Spin cycle: Pats embarrass Jets, while Dolphins rally for win
On Thanksgiving night, the Patriots handed the Jets a loss to forget, and New England finds itself close to clinching the AFC East for the fourth year in a row.
Ugly loss 'hard to fathom' for Jets coach Rex Ryan
Jets coach Rex Ryan addressed the team's embarrassing Thanksgiving-night loss in a conference call on Friday.
Tebow's rib injury brings more questions to Jets' QB situation
Tim Tebow was active with a rib injury on Thursday night, which made observers wonder about the status of No. 3 QB Greg McElroy.

Jets release WR Hill
The Jets cut Jason Hill for the second time this season, releasing the sixth-year wideout on Tuesday.

The Jets' sack numbers are historically low this season, and they are looking to youngsters Quinton Coples and Ricky Sapp for help.
Jets promote LB Sapp
The Jets signed LB Ricky Sapp to the active roster from the practice squad on Thursday, the team announced.
Jets sign WR Hill
The Jets brought back WR Jason Hill and waived rookie S Antonio Allen, the team announced Tuesday.
Tebow plans to report for offseason workouts Monday with a "great attitude."||||||| He offered little insight into his feelings about the Jets signing quarterback David Garrard or about the rampant speculation that his time in New York might be ending after one disappointing and unproductive season.
The Jets are also hamstrung by the contract of Sanchez, who is coming off a miserable season but is guaranteed $8.25 million in 2013.||||||| He would cost the Jets a $17.1 million cap hit if they cut him.
Tebow won't be playing for his hometown team. The Jacksonville Jaguars made it clear Thursday that they have no plans to pursue the popular and polarizing New York Jets backup quarterback.||||||| The Jets are likely to release the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner and Jacksonville native during the offseason, and many believed Tebow would land with the Jaguars. ESPN quoted a source who said it was a "virtual certainty" that Tebow would play in Jacksonville in 2013. But new general manager David Caldwell nixed that idea at his introductory news conference, saying, "I can't imagine a scenario in which he'll be a Jacksonville Jaguar - even if he's released."
Tebow and Mark Sanchez are both active as Greg McElroy's backups in the New York Jets' regular-season home finale against the San Diego Chargers.||||||| It is the first time all season that Rex Ryan has had all three of his quarterbacks active for a game. By having all three available, Ryan avoids having to designate either Sanchez or Tebow as the No. 2 quarterback Sunday.
Rex Ryan had higher expectations for the New York Jets' wildcat-style offense with Tebow, and says things haven't "panned out" the way he or the backup quarterback anticipated.||||||| Ryan would not go into detail Wednesday about why he chose Greg McElroy over Tebow to replace the struggling Mark Sanchez as the starting quarterback. He says it was his decision to go with the third-stringer, and didn't consult with any players before making the call Tuesday - other than to tell Sanchez after the Jets' 14-10 loss to Tennessee on Monday night that he was out as the starter.

By Marta Mossburg
— What a great month for lies. It's almost as good as when the nation was forced to ponder the meaning of "is" by President Bill Clinton trying to wiggle his way out of the l'affaire Lewinsky.
The first ones started flying immediately after the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. They could be called "buy some time lies" or even "focus group lies," to see which of them would stick.
On Sept. 12 White House spokesman Jay Carney said, "It's too early for us to make that judgment (on whether it was a planned attack). I think -- I know that this is being investigated, and we're working with the Libyan government to investigate the incident. So I would not want to speculate on that at this time."
On that same day, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton insinuated it could have been prompted by Internet clips from "Innocence of Muslims," the anti-Islam movie made in the United States.
"We are working to determine the precise motivations and methods of those who carried out this assault," said Hillary. "Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior, along with the protest that took place at our embassy in Cairo yesterday, as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet."
On Sept. 13, Mr. Carney's arduous quest for the truth ended: "The protests we're seeing around the region are in reaction to this movie. They are not directly in reaction to any policy of the United States or the government of the United States or the people of the United States."
Those statements could be forgiven as bad attempts to explain to the voracious 24/7 news media the situation during a chaotic time. But once made, the administration wouldn't back down in spite of a deluge of evidence contradicting official accounts.
On Sept. 13, the same day the video was being blamed for the deaths by anyone connected to President Obama, an anonymous state department official told CNN that, "It was not an innocent mob. ... The video or 9/11 made a handy excuse and could be fortuitous from their perspective, but this was a clearly planned military-type attack."
Anyone who had seen footage of the attack would have surmised the same thing. People do not carry rocket-propelled grenade launchers to spontaneous demonstrations.
Yet there was no change in the party line from the White House, as if this were some dispute about the president's golf score, not about the first U.S. ambassador killed since 1979 and three other American deaths.
Worse was yet to come. On Sept. 16, five days after the attack, United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice visited Sunday talk shows to proclaim what everyone already knew to be false: the video did it.
After her appearance, however, the party line began to look like one of Jackson Pollock's drip paintings, with one set of Obama officials contradicting another set on an almost daily basis. For example, claims that no one asked for more security at the consulate were shot down by a state department official. According to the Associated Press, the official said, requests for more security in Benghazi were turned down "because the department wanted to train Libyans for the task. Another U.S. official testified he had argued unsuccessfully for more security for weeks."
And earlier this week President Obama said he called the murders of the four Americans an "act of terror" from the beginning in his debate with Republican rival Mitt Romney. He didn't.
What he said in the Rose Garden on Sept. 12, the day after the attack, was: "No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for."
He was speaking generally in that sentence, not specifically referring to the killings of Ambassador Stevens and the other Americans. As late as Sept. 25 he refused to call what happened in Benghazi a terrorist attack when asked about it by Joy Behar on "The View."
All of this must be doing wonders for recruiting diplomats. And it has to make Americans wonder what other fibs the administration has fed the public if they could so cavalierly mock the truth on Libya.

Here's a matchup to watch in Sunday's Seahawks-Browns game.
Seahawks' wide receivers vs. Browns' cornerbacks
CB Joe Haden, Cleveland's top defensive back, missed the Week Six game at Oakland with a knee injury, with Dimitri Patterson getting the start in his place. This week Haden has missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, though he has been able to run, head coach Pat Shurmur said. Also, rookie CB Buster Skrine (hip) sat out Thursday.
Said Shurmur on Haden and Skrine on Thursday: "At this point my feelings are that they'll both be there, and we have contingency plans if they're not."
If Haden and Skrine are out, rookie CB James Dockery will be the third cornerback, with Patterson and Sheldon Brown the starters. Patterson will be the third cornerback if Haden starts.
How the Browns cope with the height of the Seahawks' WR corps will be key. Sidney Rice (6-4, 202) and Mike Williams (6-5, 235) are the starters, with 6-1, 204-pound Ben Obomanu in reserve. Rice (15-226-1, 21 targets), who came to Seattle from Minnesota in free agency, has produced after missing the first two games. Williams (8-79-1) practiced on Wednesday and Thursday after having suffered a concussion. Obomanu has caught TD passes in each of the last two games.
The surprise of the Seahawks' WR corps is 5-10, 189-pound Doug Baldwin, who leads the club with 20 catches and 330 yards and has scored twice. Baldwin, who plays inside, is sure-handed and has shown a knack for getting open.
Of the Browns' top cornerbacks (Haden, Brown, Patterson), Haden is tallest at 5-11, with Brown and Patterson 5-10. Skrine, the fourth cornerback, is 5-9. Dockery is the Browns' tallest cornerback at 6-1, but he's the least experienced.

SCOTTSBURG, IN (WAVE) - Would you put your own life on the line to save a stranger? A young boy and two women likely owe their lives to Good Samaritans who came upon a deadly accident on Interstate 65 in southern Indiana.
I've been doing this awhile, seen a lot of scenes," said Chris Fugate. "If I'm called, it's bad."
On a straight stretch of I-65 just inside the Scott County line, Fugate could see the smoke ahead of him. Fugate, the Scott County deputy coroner, was back of it with his two teenagers in tow.
When he got closer, Fugate saw a Hyundai Santa Fe and a Ford F-150 dual-cab pickup truck. The pickup, which was towing a trailer, was bent, broken and burned down to their frames. Natalie Bomar, 19, of Mount Washington, KY, had been driving the Santa Fe. Sandra Godsave, 62 of Greenwood, IN, her husband and grandson were in the pickup. With the Godsave's pickup on fire, the women and Godsave's grandson, Andrew, age 9, were trapped in the wreckage with no way out … until passing drivers stepped up.
Indiana State Police say Bomar was heading south when she lost control of her vehicle, went into the median, through the cable barriers and into the northbound lanes. Bomar's SUV hit the Godsave's pickup on the driver's side, sending it into a ditch on fire.
Fugate didn't know who was involved, but he would learn the names soon enough.
"You have to try to block it out as much as possible," said Fugate. "You have to understand it's a job. But it's hard."
In the aftermath of the crash, with the vehicle on fire, several brave citizens ran up to the car to get those inside out. While state police aren't saying how many, or who, no one could doubt their impact. They were able Sandra and Andrew out, but not Sandra's husband, Dennis Godsave, 62.
"They were able to pull the little boy and the wife out," said Fugate, "so I'm thankful for it and I'm sure the family is too."
Fugate didn't let his teenagers get close enough to see the worst. But when your oldest has an appointment to get her learners permit, it scares a father. Fugate said both of his children will be getting "the lecture."
ISP said the crash reconstruction report may not be in until mid-week. It's not clear whether these heroes without names were witnesses or came upon the crash after it happened.
Bomar and Godsave are both are listed in fair condition. How badly the women were injured is not known; their families have requested privacy.
State police say Andrew Godsave was taken to Kosair Children's Hospital in Louisville. When we checked today, the hospital had no record of him.
