Our two-year master's in urban planning (MUP) degree is fully accredited by the Planning Accreditation Board, a Chicago-based organization that recognizes professional urban planning programs for performance, integrity, and quality. Our program is accredited through December 31, 2014, and is undergoing its periodic re-accreditation during the 2013-2014 academic year. You can learn more about the accreditation process at the Planning Accreditation Board's website.
As an accredited program, we practices transparency about important data, so prospective applicants can be well-informed in deciding whether to apply to us. Below, we provide information about student evaluations, graduation rates, graduates' satisfaction, graduates' employment, and voluntary professional certification.
Our MUP program follows the University at Buffalo guidelines in evaluation of graduate students. These evaluations occur by instructors in classes that grade according to the standard A-F scale, in which an "A" is construed as a "4," a "B" as a "3," and so forth down to an "F." (In a few classes, student performance may be graded "S" for satisfactory or "U" for unsatisfactory.)
Over our 52-credit course of study leading to the MUP, students typically (there are exceptions) take fifteen three-credit courses, one six-credit studio, and one one-credit colloquium. They undergo grading by each instructor based on exams, papers, group assignments, or studio performance. The average of those grades on the 4.0 scale is known as the "grade point average," and must be no less than 3.0 for the student to remain in good standing in our program.
Of special note in our program is the "final project," a three-credit capstone course, in which students have to demonstrate that they can produce a plan or report or professional quality in response to a municipality's needs. Alternatively, students may upon faculty approval elect to do a "thesis," which is an intensive investigation in to a specialized topic of interest to the discipline or profession of planning. Each thesis must be approved by at least two faculty members. Either by final project or thesis, students earn the MUP upon demonstrating synthetic ability in planning.
Typically, a student will have undergone 17 separate end-of-semester evaluations (which in themselves are usually based on multiple in-class evaluations) during their period with us. It is through these multiple evaluations that we assure that our students receive a good education and attain the capabilities needed in professional practice or further advanced study.
Our program charges the applicable State University of New York graduate tuition, which varies between in-state and out-of-state students. We also charge some additional fees. For further information please go to our Cost of Study page.
Many students wonder: If I study full-time toward the two-year MUP degree at the University at Buffalo, what is the chance that I will graduate on time? As you can see from attached table on graduation rates, about 80% of students who begin full-time study graduate within two years.
Why do some take longer? Some switch out of full-time study into part-time study for one or more semesters. For personal reasons, such as illness or employment or family needs, others students take time off from their studies. In any case, as shown in the attached table, between 92 and 100% of students who enter full-time study in a particular academic year will graduate within four years. In short, when you study with us, you can be confident that you are investing effectively in your future.
In April 2013, to find out our graduates' perceptions after graduation, we surveyed graduates of the five preceding year. Please see the attached results of our 2013 survey for full information on our methods, numbers of respondents, and actual results.
Our survey shows that, of our students who graduated from 2008 through 2011, 79% were satisfied with their education and 15% dissatisfied, while 6% did not answer. Of our respondents, a large majority agreed that the program had provided them with important planning capabilities. Specifically, 86% said they agreed that our graduates were prepared for collaborative practice and client/community participation, 73% agreed that the program had prepared them on questions of ethical practice, and 82% agreed that the program taught them to analyze data qualitatively and quantitatively. Overall, we believe that these data reflect well on the quality of our program.
For prospective students, one of the most important questions is about the job opportunities upon graduation. Therefore, our survey asked alumni over a five year period about their current employment. With graduates from 2008 through 2012 reporting, we find that 57% had a job in planning or a related field, 32% worked that they termed "not planning related," 4% were pursuing further education, and 7% did not hold a formal job, whether for personal or professional reasons. When the most recent (2012) graduating year is removed from calculation, since many were still on the job market, and focus on the previous four years of grads, we find (this data is not shown) even better results: fully all (100%) who answered the question were either employed or (a very few) were pursuing further education.
We also asked all graduates about their experience in obtaining their first-year job. Those who had graduated two or more years ago had to think back to their first year. Of these four-years of earlier graduates, 62% obtained a planning or planning-related job in their first year, 11% found employment in a non-planning field, 19% were either searching or volunteering in their first year, and 2% pursued further education. Once again note that all these were memories of their first year. Of respondents from the immediately past graduating year, all of whom were reporting on their current first-year experience, 55% had obtained a planning or planning-related job; 10% obtained another kind of job; and 20% searched or were volunteering.
Overall, though we would prefer to have more of our graduates find positions closely related to planning, we are impressed by our graduates' very high employment rate after the first year from graduation. The results are all the more a relief for us, because these five-years of our alumni completed their studies during a difficult time in the economy, a time or prolonged recession. As we write this to you, we are expanding the topics available to our students to include additional professional opportunities, including historic preservation and planning for health, for future graduates.
The planning profession does not have mandatory national certification exam, like a bar exam. However, the American Institute of Certified Planners does provide a certification system, including an examination, through which professional planners can be certified to receive the AICP designation.
Graduates of urban and regional planning programs work in a wide variety of fields, from economic development through nonprofit management, and in some of these fields the AICP designation is not as widely recognized as in others. Some of our graduates associate with professional associations on partly related to planning. Nonetheless, some of our graduates do go on to take the AICP exam. How do they perform?
We examined pass/fail rates of our MUP graduates over the years July 2005 through June 2011. Over this time, 22 of our graduates took the exam, and of them 18 passed on the first attempt, three passed on additional attempts, and one failed with no repeat attempt. We do not know how this compares to other programs. We do know from other AICP data that on the average our graduates score better than the national average. Note: These results are slightly different from the department's self-study accreditation report because those numbers adhere to more restrictive parameters and time periods.
Externally funded research refers to planning research that our faculty performs because of grants from outside foundations and government agencies. The resulting research spans community development, planning for public health, environmental planning, transportation planning, and other fields. Through such research, our faculty contributes to the advancement of knowledge for the planning profession and urban affairs.

We are committed to increasing the amount of sponsored research our faculty members perform. To measure our faculty productivity in such research, we collected data on actual sponsored research expenditures per year. Since many projects involve multiple investigators from many disciplines, we were careful to identify the funding attributable to just our own faculty members. Also, we did not include in this data funds committed to research but not yet spent. The results (see table 1) show substantial increase in research expenditure in the 2012 – 2013 academic year: up to $680,000 as compared to previous years which averaged around $225,000. We expect significant continuing increases in research performance in the coming years.
Our program is accredited by the Planning Accreditation Board.

White Open Spaces
September 2, 2009 at 3:50 am , by cdewet
Welcome to the Lounge! My name is Courtney De Wet, but you can call me Courtney. I assist the editor-in-chief (no, she is nothing like Meryl Streep in the Devil Wears Prada) and write for the home section of the magazine. I have a passion for decorating, and am a self diagnosed flea market junkie, especially since moving to New York City. I pride myself on creating inexpensive decor for my apartment, and absolutely love the color orange! I can't wait to share some of my personal decorating tips, favorite finds, blogs, and anything else I think is great in the world of home design. Ready? Great!
Do you have some empty white space on your walls begging for attention? Why not steer away from framing a mass produced poster, and choose some inexpensive decorative paper that reflects your own personal style? Paper-source.com offers an excellent assortment of decorative paper perfect for framing! These Chartreuse birds would look amazing in a glossy white frame. Why stop at one? For added interest, line three or four small frames together horizontally, and really make a statement. Use a piece of paper cut to the same shape as the frame to check for height and spacing. Frames should hang at eye level, and be spaced about half an inch apart. This look is brilliant on a smaller wall, such as in a bathroom or an entry way. Mix and match similarly colored paper, or just repeat the same great print! Happy framing!

CATEGORIES Horror, Casting, Newsstand, Movies, CinematicalAt SXSW 2005 I was invited to have dinner with a few new friends and filmmakers -- one of whom was the achingly adorable Laura Breckenridge, who was there to support her movie Southern Belles (which is now on DVD and quite charming). Since then the doe-eyed doll has played small parts in flicks like Havoc and Loving Annabelle, but it was her work on WB's TV series Related that (I thought) offered her the best chance at a wider audience. And then the show was cancelled.
But now Ms. Breckenridge has signed on to star in a horror movie, and that makes me very happy indeed. One of my favorite "up & coming" actresses working in my favorite genre: The spoooooky one! Yep, according to THR, Laura and a bunch of other attractive young people (Katheryn Winnick, Jessica Lucas, Keir O'Donnell and Tad Hilgenbrick) have signed up for Amusement, a horror movie penned by Jake Wade Wall (aka the guy who has the When a Stranger Calls remake to atone for -- and who also wrote the impending Hitcher remake) that focuses on three young women (and two boyfriends) who must contend with a serial killer from their childhood. The director of Amusement will be John Simpson, he of the under-the-radar (and underrated) thriller Freeze Frame.
According to the IMDb, it looks like the intimidating character actor Kevin Gage is also on board, and I can only assume he'll be playing the part of "serial killer." Production on Picturehouse's Amusement is about to get underway in Budapest.

Both scholarships are competitive and require an essay in addition to application materials. The Dales application deadline is Friday, March 15, 2013 and the Heller application deadline is Wednesday, May 1, 2013.
SAG-AFTRA National Agency staff will hold a bi-coastal educational seminar on general service agreements, or GSAs (i.e. the contracts that some agents have been using to represent our members instead of the standard Legacy SAG agency contracts). These GSA contracts are signed outside of SAG-AFTRA's protection, and it is imperative that members have a working knowledge of what these contracts say before signing them — your professional future and your income may depend on it.
BOSTON (March 1, 2013) — Following an extensive search, SAG-AFTRA announced today the appointment of a new Executive Director for its New England Local, Susan Nelson of Vernon, CT. Nelson officially assumes the position today.
Nelson joins SAG-AFTRA with more than 25 years of experience in labor relations. A graduate of the University Of Connecticut School Of Law, Nelson is known for her skill in mediation and negotiation.

After the Iraqi armed forces were driven out of Kuwait in 1991, a Tripartite Commission was created under International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) auspices to ascertain the fate of missing military personnel and civilians. Iraq withdrew from the Tripartite Commission in December 1998. In 1999 the U.N. Secretary-General appointed a High-Level Coordinator for Iraq's compliance with its obligations regarding missing persons. The exhumation of human remains from Iraqi mass graves was being conducted by Kuwaiti search teams. Following the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime, the Coalition Provisional Authority continued cooperation with the Tripartite Commission. However, in December 2005, the Secretary-General reported that no further remains of Kuwaiti and third-country nationals and missing persons had been identified. The fate of approximately 270 missing persons remains unknown.
Following an initiative of the Government of Kuwait, in 2006, ICMP assisted in the identification of missing persons from the conflict by providing DNA analysis.

The photographs of the Red Fox in this book were taken at Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge In Md.
I was in Awe to see the kits along the trail route.
It was such an honor to see them near the dens the past few years.
I am not certain how close they will be over the next few years because for the safety of the Red Fox there have been signs posted because others were feeding them and they were just becoming endangered by that kind of activity.
I am very happy I did get the shots in this book and it was an amazing wonder to be able to see them in the natural habitat in the wild and I hope they will all fair well.
I hope you enjoy the photos, I have truly loved taking them!

Meet the Mets
Pitchers and catchers officially report to Port St. Lucie tomorrow. Stop for a second and savor that phrase in your mind. It's baseball season!
Sandy Alderson spoke to the media on Saturday about a range of topics, beginning with the status of David Wright. Sandy said that the team's decision on what to do with Wright will be independent of the team's record, since the Mets hold a 2013 option on him and can just keep him, unlike Carlos Beltran a year ago. Sandy also spoke about Johan Santana, player acquisitions and what to expect from the team's trio of pitching prospects at the major league level this year (Hint: not much).
Andy Martino presents five questions for the 2012 Mets as they head into spring training.
Scott Kazmir threw a bullpen session in front of scouts on Friday, although the Mets did not send one. Dave Lennon reports that the team just isn't interested in the lefty at this time.
Mr. Met had a cameo on 30 Rock a couple of days ago. Good to see that the acting career of everybody's favorite mascot is panning out. Now he just needs to get himself a speaking role.
Edit: Just saw this posted a little while ago and figured Mets fans might be interested in reading it--a great article on former Met Taylor Buchholz and his battle with depression.
Around the Majors
Closers with new addresses became sort of a theme this offseason and now they are ready to help their new teams. New Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon is ready to begin a new chapter in his career, while new Red Sox closer Andrew Bailey is ready to take over Papelbon.
Roy Oswalt is at the top of the class of free agents who are still looking for teams. I'll say it again, just in case Sandy reads this: we'd love to see him in the Mets rotation and he'd make great trade bait at the deadline. Just a suggestion.
Theo Epstein is working hard to develop the "Cubs Way", which is basically a guide for players in the organization to follow.
Finally, Adam Wainwright is back on the mound for the rebuilt Cardinals.

This game never loads.
I'm getting really angry with not being able to load up Jewel Quest. It's been months already! Very Frustrating!!!
why wont these games load? been trying time and again. If AOL reads this please do something about it or remove it from the website.
I have been trying to load this game for some time too.
Why won't this game load any longer? How about some info from AOL/Games telling us what's wrong.
I've tried over and over to play this game. It WILL NOT load to play. This is one of my favorites but am no longer able to play it!!!
Still "NO" Jewel Quest! What's the matter Guys? Don't you know how to fix it? Or do you just not care about us fans of this game not being able to play? Hope you have a nice holiday. Maybe you will find an answer by the first of the year, 2014, ya' think? Thanks if you will, please. Wishing you a Happy Holiday!
I'm having the same problem as JRusmisell. What is wrong with this game? At one time I could play all day. Now I can't even get the game to load.
I can never get this game to load. I see the commercial, then it tries to load but never gets there. Does anyone have any answers for this problem? I have played this game many times but I am unable to play it now. I'd sure like to know how to get there to play now.
been trying 2 play past 1st level no deal....ive tried over n over lov game when its working
does anybody knows how to upload a pic on their account...........if somebody knows please reply on the comment .........................
What is wrong with Jewel Quest - it is not the same format and you can only play 2 games????
Is this game ever going to get fixed?
It has been more than a week since I've been able to play anything but the first level! FIX THIS!
where is the rest of the game? you guys would mess up a one car funeral!!
I love this game! BUT, today, for whatever reason, cannot get past the first level. What's going on with Jewel Quest?
Everytime I play Jewel Quest I only can play the first step!!!!!! After that it won't reload. Still don't like this new forum!!!!!!
This game is so much fun I enjoy playing it.
I cant play this game on my android phone
go to the bottom of this sheet and click on feedback and tell them what you think. I know they are not reading any of these comments,since they didn't know what I was talking about when i wrote them
this is terrible!!!!!
Bring back the CLASSIC !!!
I don't like the new games. Can't find chat rooms and friends I had before.
I hate when they interrupt the Jewel quest game because it is free. The old version was better, free to do what you want.
Hate the new games and setup. I've lost a lot of games I had before. Even the games I can play disapear.????????????????????????????????
this game is cool...
Games keep freezing. Also, to many times you lose server. By starting over I lose game. Help!
Chuzzle doesn't work for me anymore. What happened?
I agree with every one else. This format is terrible. When get into a game it cuts off. Pleasse go back to old game format.
This format is horrible You can not get to a game. Please go back to original format
great all i get is a blank white screen after several tries, you people are really on the ball!
don't like the new format. if you will notice less people are playing these games now
I like the old format better, can't find a thing without searching and then it looks so diff.
i want the old format for my games back please
The chat rooms have changed on my favorite game. Liked the old format much better. Can we go back to old one?? PLEASE!!!!
I want the old one back!
no good .
Like everyone below has indicated - bring back the old format. I really don't care whose on the leaderboard. I'm on here to play a game for fun and to break up my day, not competition. Also, I don't give a hoot what games you THINK I might like to play by suggesting games I have no interest in. I have my favorites. Let me have them back. I don't want to have to recreate the wheel, so to speak. And, as I have said numerous times before - GET RID OF ALL OF THE ICONS. They make the screen too busy and crowded.
@solitaire2k10 There are many different Jewel Quest games on this site (and other site have a few different ones) I have been playing this version on this site for about 10 years & it has not changed, you must need to look at the other Jewel Quest games (or even a different site) for what you are calling classic!
@Abegates65 The owner of Jewel Quest (who is not this web site) would very much like you to give up the modified courtesy games and buy the full games from their company. Their participation on this free web site is "advertising". When they make so many offers to let you buy your own game - how can you not know that?
@Josephinede I haven't been having that problem; perhaps you should do a little file clean up.
@white48v It took a couple of hours reading the new instructions & then it has been fine - different but entertaining just the same. Why don't you go over to a game site where you have to pay to play. Perhaps you will find more satisfying gaming there.
@l.eggleston I can & I am no wizard!
@PNanpuck3 Why don't you consider getting a box of colors & a coloring book so all you need to think of is how to stay in the lines. The first few days it was a little challenging but once I finally decided that I needed to read the instructions. I am sorry if you are not old enough to take some responsibility to follow the guidelines, perhaps you should move your participation to a game site that charges to play - then you might have something to complain about.
@Mrdavecox you have a good pic on your account
@c.lemay Are you talking about "everyone" on this complaint board - you must be, because many thousands of the players are not here - because they are very satisfied, pleased or content with the new format..

Mike Kelly on Foreign Policy
A: Yes.
Q: Will you support legislation that forbids U.S. troops from serving under United Nations command?
A: Yes.
Q: Will you support the American Sovereignty Act to restrict the Executive's ability to forge international agreements that lessen our sovereignty?

The House Committee on Foreign Affairs , also known as the House Foreign Affairs Committee, has jurisdiction over bills and investigations related to the foreign affairs of the United States. It is less powerful than its Senate counterpart, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, because the House committee does not consider the ratification of treaties or the confirmation of presidential appointments, such as are made for ambassador and Secretary of State.
The Arab American Institute has compiled a Scorecard to catalogue the voting record of the 112th Congress on issues of importance to the Arab American community. For the House, we included 15 items: two bills on the Arab Spring, five bills and one letter on Palestine, two bills on Lebanon, three bills and a letter regarding civil liberties, and two bills on immigration.
RESOLUTION: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the conditions for the US becoming a signatory to the UN Arms Trade Treaty, or to any similar agreement on the arms trade.

It was on Frank Hall's fourteenth bombing mission during the Korean War that he became a prisoner of war of the Chinese Communists. For the first six weeks, Hall was in an interrogation camp where his home was a four by four foot hole. He only left the hole when he was pulled out for interrogation. Twice he was forced to dig a grave for himself, but the guns pointed at him had only blanks.
After the six week interrogation period, Hall was sent to a POW camp where conditions were little better. He survived the mental torture by his faith in God, imaginary conversations with loved ones and mental exercises.
When Hall returned to Texas he was given a big parade and presented with a new Buick. he shared the parade with his family who had been told he was missing in action and presumed dead two years earlier.

Each week on Filmspotting -- available via iTunes and on WBEZ, Chicago -- hosts Adam Kempenaar and Josh Larsen offer in-depth discussions of the latest film releases and their trademark Top 5 lists. What are the all-time best Chicago International Film Festival movies? Adam and Josh reveal five personal favorites. Learn more about Filmspotting here!
Devil's Backbone (2001)
Josh: I came to Guillermo del Toro a bit late, but it would have been even later if it wasn't for the Festival, which screened his third feature, The Devil's Backbone, in 2001. A ghost story set in an orphanage in the wake of the Spanish Civil War? That's all I needed to hear to be interested. But then I experienced del Toro's unique blend of genre tropes and invasive fantasy. I was hooked.
Roger Dodger (2002)
Adam: I moved to Chicago from Iowa City in mid-September 2002, just in time for my first Festival. Former Filmspotting host and now producer Sam Van Hallgren and I were intrigued by writer/director Dylan Kidd's debut solely because it starred Campbell Scott, who we liked from Singles, Big Night and other films. As the titular Roger -- an immature, misogynistic, cynical, motor-mouthed ad copywriter -- Scott gives his defining performance. Sample widsom: "You can't sell a product without first making people feel bad" … "You drink that drink! Alcohol has been a social lubricant for thousands of years. What do you think, you're going to sit here tonight and reinvent the wheel?" Jesse Eisenberg, in his first film role, plays Roger's naive, sex-obsessed nephew from Ohio looking for a good time. One of my all-time favorite 'overlooked' movies.
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)
Adam: I showed up late to this Festival screening and got stuck in the second row, never the best seat in the house. But the proximity to the screen actually enhanced my experience, adding to the sense of disorientation I felt being 'locked in' to the point of view of Jean-Dominique Bauby, the editor-in-chief of French Elle magazine who suffered a major stroke and awoke to find he was fully mentally aware but physically paralyzed. Director Julian Schnabel takes us inside Bauby's still furtive mind, visualizing his memories and fantasies -- his, and our, only escape. How Bauby managed to write his memoir while in this state may be one of the most amazing, heartbreaking tales of human perseverance ever.
The Impossible (2012)
Josh: Adam and I had one of our liveliest debates on the show over this Oscar nominee, which first came to Chicago at last year's festival. Director Juan Antonio Bayona dramatizes a British family's struggle to survive in the wake of the 2004 tsunami in Thailand. With this and El orfanato (The Orphanage), Bayona has proven himself a master audience manipulator, yet what struck me about The Impossible is how the large-scale disaster is experienced in such an intimate way -- through this specific family and their particular relationships.
Something in the Air (2012)
Adam: Olivier Assayas' semi-autobiographical portrait of the artist as a young revolutionary was my favorite film from the 2012 festival, and stands as one of my favorite films of 2013 so far (it opened in Chicago and select cities in May). I'm a sucker for films about artists and the artistic process in general, so I got to geek out on the debates we see various characters engage in about the role of the filmmaker and proper (political) aesthetics. Gilles (Clément Métayer) is ablaze with passionate fervor, but more for art itself than for using art as an instrument for change. Assayas reveals how easy it is to conflate the two, especially coming of age in France, as he did, in the wake of the civil unrest and student riots of May 1968.

Fox 29 has been reporting on veterans who have served their country, only to wait years for the benefits they were promised in return. More than once, vets have told us they thought they might die before they ever got an answer from the Veterans Administration.
The family of one such vet contacted Fox 29 to tell us it happened to them.
Richard Scott joined the Army, went through basic training and artillery training, and invaded Normandy on D-Day in less time than it's taking to get an answer from the VA.
Scott applied for benefits a full year before he passed away. He died waiting for an answer:
Scott had barely turned 18 when he joined the Army during World War II. Before he even had a chance to celebrate his 19th birthday, he landed on the northern shores of France, ready to do battle with the Nazis. D-Day turned out to be a turning point in the war, thanks to young men like Scott. He "wasn't going to say no and wasn't going to lose," his son Greg told Fox 29.
"You know, he wasn't going to lose for our cause."
Despite all he did for his country, Scott never asked for anything in return until the end of his life.
He needed help to pay for medication, so he applied to the Veterans Administration for benefits. The VA sent back form letters, but never an answer. Scott died in June, a full year after he had asked the VA for help.
"I said that a number of times," Scott's Daughter-in-Law Roberta said. "It's almost like the government is waiting for him to die so they won't have to pay the benefits. And that's what happened."
Scott's son is almost relieved his father never heard a decision, because if the VA had rejected his dad's claim, as it has for so many others, "I think that would have really crushed him. I think he would have really felt abandoned. I mean, terribly abandoned."
Three months after his death at 86, Richard Scott's family is still waiting. "I'm at a loss for words as to how these men and women have been treated," Roberta Scott told Fox 29. "My father who was there for his country when they asked for him to be there, basically his country was not there for him when he needed them," her husband added.
Greg Scott is hoping the benefits his dad should have gotten from the VA may now pass on to his 81-year-old mom Miriam. Fox 29 is in touch with the VA in Washington, DC, on a daily basis, on behalf of these vets.
We do know as of April, the Philadelphia VA is facing a backlog of more than 58,000 cases.
Have problems? Tell us.

Shadow Arts And Culture Minister attends Aesthetica Short Film Festival launch
8:04am Tuesday 13th November 2012 in News
ORGANISERS of a celebration of film in York were paid a visit by one of the leading political figures in the arts scene.
Shadow Arts And Culture Minister Dan Jarvis attended the launch of the Aesthetica Short Film Festival, which ended its four-day run on Sunday and saw screenings being staged in venues across the city, from the Mansion House and Guildhall to bars and shops.
The idea for the festival, which ran for the first time last year, came from Cherie Federico, its artistic director and the founder of York-based art and cultural magazine Aesthetica. The publication is now sold around the UK and in more than 20 countries.

Farm Bureau Economist Says Plenty Can Still Influence Planting
American Farm Bureau Federation Crops Economist Todd Davis notes the Prospective Plantings report from USDA provides an indication of what farmers intend to plant as of early March - and says the influence of still-dry soils, volatile commodity prices and weather uncertainty will play out and could change what farmers plant.
Based on the forecast for corn planting this year and a trend yield of 163.54-bushels per acre - the final U.S. corn crop could yield around 14.6-billion bushels. Using USDA's February yield projection of 44.4-bushels per acre - Davis says the intended 77.1-million soybean acres would produce a record soybean crop of 3.38-billion bushels.
If the early planting and yield projections are realized - Davis says corn and soybean stocks will increase - which would ultimately lead to lower feed costs for livestock and poultry farmers.
According to USDA's March 1 survey of grain - the nation's corn inventory is 5.4-billion bushels - down 10-percent from a year ago. Soybean stocks were measured at 999-million bushels - down 27-percent from a year prior.

GNU Compiler Collection 4.2
The latest GNU compiler provides better support for parallel programming, and GCC also rolls out some new optimization features. We took GCC 4.2 for a test drive.
After much debate and the usual delays, the latest version of the GNU C/ C++ compiler (GCC) has finally materialized. Version 4.2 of GCC [1] follows in the trail of many major and minor changes. For a complete list of changes, refer to the GCC homepage [2].
The most significant change with version 4.2 is support for OpenMP [3], an open standard for program parallelization – especially for systems with shared memory. OpenMP lets programmers specify how the compiler and run-time systems will distribute code segments over multiple threads for parallel execution on multi-core systems.

The first fight of the night here at UFC 129: St. Pierre vs. Shields is Pablo Garza vs. Yves Jabouin. This is a bantamweight fight (135lbs) and is scheduled for three five-minute rounds. This is the UFC debut for Jabouin and the second UFC bout for Garza. Both have losses in the WEC.
The referee in charge of the action is Yves Lavigne.
ROUND 1 - Garza starts off with an outside leg kick. Both fighters standing orthodox. Leaping left hook for Jabouin misses. Both fighters trading leg kicks. Garza, so far, doing most of the stalking. Hard knee from Garza as he forces Jabouin into the cage and unloads. Head kick and side kick from Jabouin, the former largely blocked. Jabouin kicks out supporting leg from Garza twice after the taller fighter attempted a kick. Hard uppercut from Jabouin knocks out the mouthpiece from Garza, but he puts it back in. Fighters trade leg kicks again, but Jabouin generally gets the better of them. Flying triangle attempt from Garza and he might have it. Elbows, too. Now it's still on except Jabouin is mounted. And then came the tap.
UFC 129 results: Pablo Garza defeats Yves Jabouin by submission (triangle choke) at 4:31 of round 1.

Monday, Baseball America released its highly anticipated Top 100 Prospects List. The good news for Rangers fans? Shortstop Jurickson Profar tops the list. The good news for Orioles fans? Young right-hander Dylan Bundy is next.
Here are BA's top 10 pitching prospects (with number signifying overall rank):
2. Dylan Bundy, rhp, BAL
5. Jose Fernandez, rhp, MIA
6. Shelby Miller, rhp, STL
7. Gerrit Cole, rhp, PIT
11. Zack Wheeler, rhp, NYM
12. Tyler Skaggs, lhp, ARI
14. Trevor Bauer, rhp, CLE
18. Taijuan Walker, rhp, SEA
19. Jameson Taillon, rhp, PIT
24. Kyle Zimmer, rhp, KC
All of those guys are outstanding prospects, but Bundy's roundly considered the best of the best. And with the Orioles needing some stability in their rotation this season, MASN.com's Steve Melewski asked BA's Jim Callis ... well, see for yourself:
I asked Baseball America's Jim Callis what would be a reasonable progression for the 20-year-old Bundy this season?
"Based on what he did last year, it is certainly reasonable that he will be in the big leagues at some point this season," Callis said. "For all the Orioles did last year, I don't think they have five locks for the rotation. A year ago, I don't think we were talking about Mike Trout having one of the best years a 20-year-old ever had.
"Anything is possible. On sheer talent, not talking about experience, he's the best starter they have. Why can't he make the rotation out of spring training? Now the Orioles are trying to win and he is clearly one of their best five starters.
"I think anything we could come up with would sound reasonable. If you told me Dylan would make the rotation in spring and win 15 games this year, I'm not saying he's a lock for that but I wouldn't say no way to that either. He is that talented."
He is that talented. One concern: Bundy's pitched about 18 innings above Class A. But I'm sure that Dan Duquette and Buck Showalter (and Jim Callis) have a better take on Bundy's abilities than I. What interests me is the general subject of pitching prospects, and the general utility and applicability of the TINSTAAPP Principle.
I've written on the subject before, but I never really tire of it. This time around, I thought I'd compile lists of Baseball America's top 10 pitching prospects from 2006 through 2010, and see what's happened to them in a general sort of way. These lists are simply: where the pitchers ranked overall (including hitters), along with how many seasons it took them to become a star.
I defined "star" quite loosely: at least three Wins Above Replacement (Wins+) in at least one season. Last year, 35 pitchers cleared that bar, from Justin Verlander (7.6) to Josh Johnson (3.1). I think it's important to look for star seasons, since you obviously want your top pitching prospects to become stars, plus you need a few stars to win.
Enough introducing. Here are those lists ...
6. Francisco Liriano (1)
7. Chad Billingsley (2)
8. Justin Verlander (1)
10. Matt Cain (2)
22. Jon Lester (3)
24. Bobby Jenks
34. Scott Olsen
35. Joel Zumaya (1)
36. Mike Pelfrey (3)
37. Jonathan Papelbon (1)
That's an impressive group, with eight stars -- Jenks just missed -- and only Olsen a real bust.
1. Daisuke Matsuzaka (1)
4. Phil Hughes
5. Homer Bailey
10. Andrew Miller
11. Tim Lincecum (2)
16. Yovani Gallardo
20. Mike Pelfrey (2)
21. Matt Garza (2)
23. Adam Miller
24. Clayton Kershaw (3)
This group's not nearly as impressive. Hughes, Gallardo, and Bailey have all shown flashes, but 2012 was Bailey's first good season in the majors and he's still not a sure thing. Both Millers have essentially been busts. Lincecum and Kershaw, of course, became big stars.
3. Joba Chamberlain (2)
4. Clay Buchholz (3)
7. Clayton Kershaw (2)
8. Franklin Morales
9. Homer Bailey
10. David Price (3)
15. Jake McGee
17. Wade Davis
21. Rick Porcello
24. Nick Adenhart
In six seasons in the majors, Morales has 11 wins and 11 saves. He's still in there pitching, though. McGee turned 26 last season, his first good one. The Royals are now hoping Davis can pitch like he did in the minors. Porcello pitched well as a 20-year-old rookie in 2009; since then, not so much. A damned drunk driver killed Nick Adenhart.
2. David Price (2)
4. Tommy Hanson (1)
7. Brett Anderson
9. Madison Bumgarner
10. Neftali Feliz
11. Trevor Cahill (2)
21. Rick Porcello
22. Chris Tillman
25. Brian Matusz
29. Jarrod Parker (4)
Brett Anderson can't stay healthy. I'm surprised that Bumgarner doesn't have a "star season" yet; I suppose it's the park effects that are holding him back, Wins+-wise, but he's obviously been a big success. The Orioles are still waiting for Tillman, though he pitched well in his 15 starts with the big club in 2012. The O's are still waiting for Matusz, too. It took Jarrod Parker a while, but he made it last season with the A's.
2. Stephen Strasburg
5. Brian Matusz
9. Neftali Feliz
14. Madison Bumgarner
17. Martin Perez
18. Jeremy Hellickson
22. Aroldis Chapman (3)
23. Tyler Matzek
24. Casey Kelly
25. Kyle Drabek
No, Strasburg didn't qualify; only 2.7 Wins+ last season. But that's a formality ... sort of. What we're trying to understand is what we can expect from a top pitching prospect. Three years ago, Stephen Strasburg was the top pitching prospect ... and he's won 21 games in those three years. Meanwhile, neither Pérez nor Matzek nor Kelly nor Drabek has done anything good in the major leagues at all.
Here are the number of stars, per list:
2006: 8
2007: 5
2008: 4
2009: 4
2010: 1
That number for 2010 is going to get bigger. But I think we might conclude that roughly half of the top pitching prospects actually become stars, for even a single season. And even when it happens, it usually takes two or three years. Which is merely another warning about expectations.
What does all this mean for Dylan Bundy and the Orioles? It's pointless to generalize from a large group of young pitchers to just one. But I suspect there's a big difference between being the top pitching prospect and the 10th. Based on recent history, there seems to be a real good chance that Bundy's going to enjoy a big season. Just probably not in 2013.

Pouter into an IPA glass.
This beer is a beautiful rusty copper color. The oatmeal flake colored head recedes to a thick foam while massive sheets of sticky lacing coat the glass. The aroma is really fruity and citrusy. I get some orange peel mixed in with the piny, bitter hops. The taste is much like the aroma, only there is a rounded smoothness in the citrus and hops. It finishes with grapefruit and orange notes. The mouthfeel is medium bodied.
Overall, this is probably one of the most delicious IPAs I've had in a while. I love the use of citra hops and the juicy, citrus notes.

Poured into a snifter. Thanks, Darren.
A: Bright gold with an off-white one-finger head that lingers down to medium sized bubbles. Thick lacing. Pretty.
S: A citrus factory featuring grapefruit, mango and pineapple.
T: Semi-sweet, smooth, balanced. A terrific caramel malt/grapefruit hop tango. Very low bitterness. Just got it in before the freshness date expired.
M: Medium with medium/thick carbonation. Very full and rich.
O: Another great reason that non-hopheads can enjoy IPA's. The balance is terrific. Recommended.

6.4%ABV. per bottle label.Best by 11/23/13.Pours into an imperial pint glass a deep burnt orange with a thinner off white head that leaves multiple rings of broken lace as it settles slowly.Ripe zesty citrus fruit hops in the nose with slight note of pine,a big caramel presence as well.Somewhat sweet on the palate with some sugar and caramel/biscuit notes,the hops are juicy and burst out with a big citric fruitiness as well as a lingering resiny finish.The label says it all, it is juicy and fresh tasting.A great beer to be expected.

Thanks to Kevin for cracking this one. The beaming, bright copper body has excellent clarity - clearly a heavily filtered IPA - and is topped with a thick, bubbly, chunky, eggshell tinted head that leaves some spiderweb-ish lacing across a good portion of the glass. Very nice looking IPA; I love cloudy, unfiltered IPAs, but I'll be damned if a crystal clear one doesn't bring a tear to my eye, too.
Wow! I didn't much know what to expect from this one, aside from the fact that it's an IPA, but after taking my first few whiffs, I'm already digging it. Mildly abrasive, sticky pines and woodsy hop notes - it's like sniffing a redwood tree. Earthy, faintly herbal, and on the border of ashy, backed up by a lightly tropical, fruity essence in the form of ripe mangoes and juicy tangerines. Seriously, what a pleasure to smell.
After an aroma like that, my expectations have just rocketed from almost non to sky-high. The first sip reveals that the malt bill is a little heavier than the nose would signify, but it's nowhere close to "over-the-top" levels of sweetness for an IPA. The fruity essence of the hops are also tossed into the foreground; more mango, orange, light pineapple, and maybe even some guava.
The hops are at maximum pungency here, with the herbal and ashy notes playing secondary and tertiary. Pine needles with earthy and dirty undertones weave in and out of the blanket of tropical fruits and toasted bready-sweet malts. The combination of flavors is great, and the bitterness is relevant, yet low enough to retain superior drinkability. Light-medium bodied, not quick sticky; slick and oily with medium carbonation.
Didn't have any expectations for this one and it ended up being great... perhaps that's why? Great mix of tropical fruits and a unique tree-like and woodsy-dirty flavor and aroma from the hops - possibly a contribution of the Mosaic variety. Quite drinkable - this is something that would definitely be a regular in the fridge rotation if it were available in my area. A bit underrated, in my opinion.

I recently went on a boys trip to Portland and hit 10 different breweries. Deschutes has always been one of my favorites, but the Fresh Squeezed IPA became my all time favorite beer. The flavor was exactly what I look for - lots of hops, not too heavy, citrus flavor.

12 oz bottle, best by 6/7/14. Pours slightly hazy orange copper with a big meringue like off white head that retains well and laces the glass some.
The aroma is lots of hoppy citrus fruits (orange, lemon and some tropical) and some resin hops with a little caramel malt.
The flavor is sweet doughy caramel malts with a lot of citrus and some piney, resiny hops. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with low carbonation.
Overall, a very nice IPA with lots of sweet, fruity, resiny hops.

Ukrainian opposition leaders called for an early presidential election following a Saturday meeting with the government, where top government posts were offered to protest leaders and a review of the constitution was promised.
The proposal to offer positions within the Ukrainian government to opposition leaders will be considered by all three parties and discussed with the people, Batkivschina leader Arseny Yatsenyuk said.
"We are not rejecting the offer, nor are we accepting it. We are in the midst of serious consultations between all three opposition parties. This is our mutual decision," he said. "We are ready to take on the responsibility for the country's future, but only under the conditions that will be set by us."
The opposition is ready to head up the government and bring Ukraine into the EU, Yatsenyuk added.
"Our task - is a new Ukrainian government ... We accept that responsibility and we are ready to bring Ukraine into the EU, which calls for the release of Yulia Tymoshenko," he continued.
"Our country is put by those at power to the brink of falling apart...We demand that Yanukovich relieves the position of Ukraine's president and we need a new constitution."
Following the talks, the head of the Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform party, Vitaly Klitschko, said that Yanukovich agreed on many demands. "But we do not step back and demand elections this year," he told protesters.
Leader of the nationalist Svoboda opposition party, Oleg Tyagnibok, told protesters that those in power are backing down and changing their tune from two days ago.
The government's negotiations with the opposition have so far yielded no results, which could signal that the standoff between the two sides will continue for the next couple of days.
During the Saturday meeting, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich offered top government posts to protest leaders and promised a review of the constitution - a move aimed at giving more power to parliament.
Yanukovich proposed the post of prime minister to Arseny Yatsenyuk, justice minister Elena Lukash said after the president's meeting with opposition leaders.
Vitaly Klitchko was offered the post of deputy prime minister for humanitarian affairs.
The president's offer came as the government struggles to cope with the protests and violence that continue to grip the entire country.

Dietitian's tip: Polenta, coarse-grind Italian cornmeal, can be served hot and creamy, cut into shapes and grilled, or baked until set. Here, it's mixed with a red pepper coulis for added flavor and color.
In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted pepper, garlic and 1 tablespoon of the water. Process until smooth; set the coulis aside.
Preheat the oven to 450 F. Lightly coat a 9-inch round cake pan with olive oil cooking spray.
In a large saucepan, combine the soy milk, remaining water, olive oil and salt. Whisk in the polenta and place over medium heat. Whisk constantly until the polenta begins to thicken. Reduce the heat to low and resume stirring with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring frequently, until the polenta pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 15 minutes. Add the coulis and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan and sprinkle with the cheese. Bake until firm, about 15 minutes. Let stand in the pan for 10 minutes before serving. Cut into 6 wedges and sprinkle with the thyme.

16 Teams, 4 Stages, 1 winner. Its the Africa Cup!
We're big football fans here at See Africa Differently so with the Africa Cup of Nations starting on Saturday you can imagine how excited we are!
Football is the biggest sport in Africa. Travelling from Tunisia to South Africa you'll not fall short of the sight of a football being kicked around by youngsters emulating the moves and calling each other the name of their favorite players.
With over 35 African players in the English premiership this season, it's a clear demonstration of the talent and influence Africa has on arguably one of the world's most prestigious leagues in the world. From Cote d'Ivoire and Manchester City's Yaya Toure, Senegal and Newcastle United's Demba Ba and Morocco and Arsenal's Maroune Chamakh, African players are making their mark
We have an exclusive treat for you from Justin Addo a FIFA & UEFA Match agent gives us his take on this year's Africa Cup of Nations.
1.The African Cup of Nations is the only major competition played within the football season. This has major impacts on clubs and decisions on who they sign. Knowing this, How important do you think it is for African players to represent their countries at the tournament?
The African Nations Cup was the first ever continental championship organized for national teams worldwide in 1957, the European championships did not start until 1960. So it is very important for African players to participate in this tournament, as a way of supporting the building of infrastructure in their countries, as well as using football as a platform to unify their countries.
Clubs when they buy players are usually aware of the demands of the African Nations Cup, and one can even argue that this sometimes affects the transfer value of the African players.
2.Premiership players are generally used to 'well manicured' pitches and all the best equipment. This is a contrast to many of the pitches they will be playing on during this year's tournament. Why do you think this competition is important for Africa and it's players?
Many of the African players would have grown up playing on imperfect pitches, so they would have little trouble adjusting from the 'well manicured' European pitches to those at the Nations Cup, if they turn out to be bumpy. I must also add that the two host countries, Gabon & Equatorial Guinea have built new and fantastic stadiums for the tournament, so the facilities, including the pitches will be first class. The tournament is also the single biggest earner for the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and the revenue earned will go back to develop grassroots football in Africa.. National pride and a sense of belonging are also major factors in the players representing their countries.
3.Cameroon and Nigeria are notable exceptions from the tournament this year. But there are some first timers such as Botswana in the competition. Do you think that with these big teams missing we will see some of these smaller teams shine?
This year's tournament is perhaps one of the most open competition in years. Even with the absence of the so called heavy weights like Egypt , Cameroon & Nigeria, the lesser known teams who qualified at the expense of the so called giants are expected to do well. Botswana will be a major threat in their group, having been the first team to qualify, with three games to spare. They have a very good blend of youth and experience, and in their coach Stanley Tshosane having a master tactician to steer them to at least the quarter finals stage. The tournament also goes to show that there are no longer any minnows in African Football. Niger qualified ahead of the more established South Africa and Egypt, and would probably struggle to come out of their group, but the experience gained from this tournament will go a long way in developing Nigerien football.
4.Who do you think are the players and teams to watch?
The players to watch:
Group A:
Demba Ba ( Senegal)
Felix Katongo ( Zambia)
Djamal Mahamat ( Libya)
Ivan Bolado ( Eq Guinea)
Group B
Yaya Toure ( Cote D'Ivoire)
Jonathan Pitriopa ( Burkina Faso)
Flavio ( Angola)
Khalefa Ahmed Hamouda ( Sudan)
Group C
Pierre Emerick Aubamayang ( Gabon)
Maroune Chamakh ( Morocco)
Sami Allagui ( Tunisia)
Moussa Mazou ( Niger)
Group D
Andre Ayew ( Ghana)
Jordan Ayew ( Ghana)
Jerome Ramatlhakwana ( Botswana)
Modibo Maiga (Mali)
Ismael Bangoura ( Guinea)
5.Your prediction for the winner of the tournament?
The tournament is going to be a straight fight between, Ghana, Cote D'Ivoire, Senegal Morocco. I suspect Ghana will win. But don't be surprised to see Senegal winning their first ever Afcon.

NEWBURY, Mass. —
Our preparedness efforts are rooted in 1950s-era Civil Defense. Are we ready?
The question matters even more as the climate changes. Some data suggest the weather is getting worse. For example, wind speeds during storms have picked up over the last few decades, according to MIT scientist Kerry Emanuel. But weather records don't go back far enough for scientists to say conclusively that storms are any worse or more frequent because of climate change.
Regardless, storms today do more damage. Hurricane Hugo in 1989 was the first storm in the United States to cause more than $1 billion in insurance claims. For all of the 1980s, there were $263 billion in insurance claims due to natural disasters. In 2005, Katrina alone caused $46 billion in insurance claims – out of an estimated $81 billion in damage. For the first five years of the 2000s, $420 billion in insurance claims were filed.
Hurricane Sandy was never more than a Category 3 hurricane, albeit the widest hurricane ever recorded. When it slammed into New Jersey and New York in October 2012, it was a mere tropical storm. Yet it's estimated to have caused $50 billion in damage.
The storm that hit Plum Island in March and made Cheryl Jones-Comeau leave her house didn't even do enough damage to qualify for state disaster relief.
Here's why natural disasters are doing more damage: The United States has more than doubled in population since 1950, to 314 million. That growth centers on urban areas, especially along the coasts. Fifty-three percent of Americans now live in the 17 percent of counties sitting on a coast. Development is happening in vulnerable places.
People are more prepared for disasters in the wake of events like 1992's Hurricane Andrew, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and Hurricane Katrina in 2005, say experts including Arnold M. Howitt, co-director of the program on crisis leadership at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.

Some now consider Puyallup the city of champions, and local business owners want to celebrate their triumphs Seahawks-style.
Three Puyallup High School sports teams took home state titles last weekend − fastpitch, baseball and boys golf − and a handful of individuals around the school district outperformed their peers in track and field.
The city is co-sponsoring a victory parade on Saturday in honor of the athletes, complete with military vehicles and old firetrucks.
Chris Johnston, event organizer and owner of Sparks Deli, said the parade will be similar to the one held in February for the Super Bowl champion Seahawks on a much smaller scale.
The event starts at 8:30 a.m. Saturday. The parade route begins at West Main Avenue downtown and ends at South Meridian and Fifth Avenue Southwest.
