Institutional Overview
Western New Mexico University (WNMU) is a regional, comprehensive, not-for-profit, public university located in the mountain community of Silver City, population 15,000, which serves as the business and financial center for a vast four-county area extending west to Arizona and south to Mexico.
Western New Mexico Universitys mission is to serve the multi-cultural populations of New Mexico, other states and other nations as a comprehensive university with an additional community college role. While research and public service are important undertakings of the institution, teaching and learning are preeminent at WNMU. We are a University that believes in the promise of every student, and together we work to create an educational community of diverse backgrounds, perspectives and talents that instills the values and develops the knowledge and skills necessary to prepare our students for the challenges of a changing world.
The WNMU Presidents vision: is to be recognized as a leader among peer institutions as evidenced by measurable success in meeting the education, research, and service needs of the populations we serve.
On February 11, 1893, when the Thirtieth Session of the Territorial Legislature of New Mexico passed An Act to Establish and Provide for the Maintenance and Government of the Normal Schools of New Mexico. Silver City and Las Vegas were chosen to be the locations of these teacher-training institutions. A Board of Regents, appointed by Governor L. Bradford Prince, was given the task of selecting a site for the school. On June 2, 1893, the Board accepted Regent John W. Flemings offer of 20 acres situated on a high hill west of the community. In the early 1920s the New Mexico Normal School became New Mexico State Teachers College. At the end of the 1930s, a secondary school associated with the college began operation in a new building on the east side of the campus. Western High School was turned over to the
Silver Consolidated School District on July 1, 1960. WNMU celebrated its 100th Anniversary in 1993. Exemplary teaching, quality programs, and enhanced regional service characterize the University mission, as WNMU moves into its second hundred years.
WNMU is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association, and by the New Mexico State Board of Education for offering undergraduate and graduate work. Western New Mexico University, through its School of Business Administration and Economics, is nationally accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) to offer the following business degrees:
Bachelor of Business Administration degree with emphasis in Accounting and
Business Management
Master of Business Administration degree
WNMU is also accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). The university received national accreditation for its nursing (ADN and BSN) programs, social work, and occupational therapy programs, and the economic development course/institute. The Early Childhood Program is also nationally accredited. WNMU is a member of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, the American Association of University Women, the Renaissance Group, the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities, the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs, Quality New Mexico, and The American Library Association.
WNMU reports to the State Auditor for New Mexico 4-year public institutions, and is compliant with NCAA, Title IV, OSHA and EEOC regulations.
WNMU serves the educational needs of southwestern New Mexico, western Texas, and eastern Arizona with programs ranging from pre-University adult basic education and Welfare to Work through the masters degree. As a state institution, Western addresses statewide workforce needs such as teacher education, selected health occupations, law enforcement, social work, early childhood development, vocational technology, business, and, at the pre-college level, literacy, citizenship, and work preparation.
1. What are your goals for student learning and shaping an academic climate? What are your key credit and non-credit instructional programs, and educational systems, services, and technologies that directly support them?
The goals and commitments for student learning and shaping an academic climate at WNMU are:
v Put students first as we teach, prepare, and celebrate student success.
v Provide appropriate students services to support students needs and success
v Create learning opportunities that enable students to succeed in a competitive work environment while generating a thirst for lifelong learning and exhibiting ethical behaviors
v View each and every student contact as an opportunity to add value and build relationships
v Provide Innovative and relevant curricula, instructional methods, developmental experiences, scholarship, creative activities, and professional/public service
v Provide tools for lifelong learning for students, employees, and the community.
v Provide opportunities for personal and professional growth beyond current boundaries
v Provide an environment that encourages innovation, dialogue, critical and creative thinking, and an open exchange of ideas
v Provide curricular and co-curricular learning experiences that involve others in significant and meaningful ways
Some common learning objectives derive from dictated statewide policies or criteria provided through specialized accreditation/program approval agencies such as the New Mexico Higher Education Department.
WNMU offers 41 baccalaureate majors, including these key programs: Accounting, Biology, Business Administration, Career and Technical Teacher Education, Chemistry, Computer Science, Counseling, Criminal Justice (available online), Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, English, Expressive Arts, History, Mathematics, Movement Science/Kinesiology, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Secondary Education, Social Work, and Special Education. Fourteen educational teaching endorsement fields are offered through the School of Education (SOE).
Master of Arts degrees are offered in Counseling, Educational Leadership, Interdisciplinary Studies (available online), and Teaching (Elementary, Reading, Secondary, and Special Education). Other graduate programs include: Master of Business Administration, Master of Occupational Therapy, and Master of Social Work. The latter two programs were added to the curriculum in 2009.
Applied associate and certificate programs include: Business Administration, Computer Technology, Criminal Justice, Digital Media Communication, Early Childhood Education and Family Support, e-Commerce and System Administration, Educational Assistant, Electrical Technology, Financial Services, Graphic Design, Industrial Maintenance, Law Enforcement Training (Police Academy), Liberal Studies, Nursing, Occupational Therapy Assistant, and Welding Technology. Non-credit instructional programs for adults are offered through the Western Institute for Lifelong Learning (WILL).
Key learning centered delivery processes include regular classroom instruction with a variety of specialized learning activities: lecture and discussion, group work, use of technology, problem-based learning, field experiences, simulations, active learning, and classroom assessment. Web-based delivery of courses plays a growing role in serving the students and other key stakeholders. While Blackboard-Vista is the platform commonly used for delivery of online courses and for required enhancement of ITV classes, an increasing number of faculty are using the institutional web portal, Mustang Express (ME), for the same purpose.
Services to support Helping Students Learn include the Academic Support Center, where placement testing, tutoring, and advising services are available; J. Cloyd Miller Library, which also houses the Technology Resource Center and the Writing Center; and ten student computing labs, located across campus and at each of the learning centers in Deming, Truth or Consequences, and Gallup. Recently, the position of Dual Enrollment Coordinator was created to provide our growing population of dual enrollment and concurrent high school students with admissions, placement testing, registration, and advising services.
2. What key organizational services, other than instructional programs, do you provide for your students and other external stakeholders? What programs do you operate to achieve them?
Key organizational services provided to students and other stakeholders are designed to support student learning and address the needs of the communities we serve. WNMUs first priority is to utilize its scarce resources on the educational programs and support services identified in section 1 above; beyond that, selection of organizational services is determined by alignment with the Mission, identification of need within the strategic planning process (SPP), response to changing environmental conditions within and beyond campus, and stakeholder feedback. Other Distinctive Objectives at WNMU are:
v Scholarship
v Quality of Environment
v Diversity
v Building Public Trust
v Quality Practices
v Economic & Community Development
Key organizational services to students include: regularly scheduled activities throughout the academic year (e.g. The Great Race, cookouts, concerts, fundraising); sports events and recognitions; recreational and wellness facilities; childcare services; scholarships; leadership experience through involvement in WNMU committees and AQIP Action Project Teams; involvement in Institutional Advancement activities.
Key organizational services to employees include: sabbaticals and tuition waivers; professional development; multicultural programs and events; Quality New Mexico/Baldrige examiner training; Alumni Association programs and activities (many WNMU employees are graduates of the University); community organization service.
Key organizational services to external stakeholders include: WILL, One-Day University, and other programs offered to the public; use of facilities, including Miller Library; childcare services; multicultural programs and events; Town & Gown and other forums with university leaders; access to WNMU website, including AQIP page; Alumni Association programs and activities; small business advising services; economic development initiatives.
Programs used to operate these services and/or the offices that coordinate them include Multicultural Affairs/Student Activities (MASA), WNMU Athletics, the WNMU Foundation, Early Childhood Programs, the Office of the President (for all Quality Initiatives), the Small Business Development Center, and the Office of Institutional Advancement, Economic and Community Development.
3. What are the short- and long-term requirements and expectations of the current student and other key stakeholder groups you serve? Who are your primary competitors in serving these groups?
Short- and long term needs of key stakeholder groups, including students, are represented in Figure O3.1.
4. What are your administrative, faculty, and staff human resources? What key factors
determine how you organize and use them?
WNMU employs 106 faculty, 282 staff members, and 519 student workers. Breakdowns by administrative unit are provided in figure O4.1.
Western New Mexico University is committed to providing equal educational and employment opportunity regardless of sex, marital or parental status, race, color, religion, age, ancestry, national origin, handicaps, or military involvement (veteran or disabled veteran, including Vietnam era). Equal educational opportunity includes recruitment and admission; access to courses and facilities; access to counseling, testing, and tutoring services; housing; financial assistance and student employment; health and insurance services; extracurricular programs and activities; and participation in athletics.
Employee work is managed largely through the areas administered by the four VPs, as depicted in figure O4.1. The institutions overall work organization is influenced primarily by accreditation factors, quality efforts, programmatic considerations, environmental scanning, financial resources, and existing traditions in higher education.
A specific human resource plan does not exist; however, an AQIP Action Project Team was formed early in 2007 to address this issue. The Human Resources Team has to date identified critical gaps for immediate action and is also, in its bi-weekly meetings, drafting policies and procedures for campus-wide vetting. Each vice president offers suggested changes or needs related to personnel during the budget and strategic planning processes, as well.
Reorganizations occur based on the factors identified above as influencing work organization. Within their areas, VPs or unit leaders are free to organize their units as they deem most appropriate within certain constraints (such as tenure) that impact the work environment at WNMU.
WNMUs part time employees include 60 to 80 adjunct faculty depending on the semester and less than 5 percent temporary part-time staff. Temporary staff positions receive a contract for no more than twelve months. WNMU work study student employees are hired in virtually every unit/department of the institution and are an integral part of the work environment. Work study students apply through the Financial Aid Office and are assigned based on the interests of the student and the availability of openings in a particular department or unit. Not listed in figure O4.1, but certainly a part of our workforce, are the part-time volunteers that staff the WILL office, the WNMU Call Center, and other areas on campus.
Each VP prioritizes personnel, capital equipment, and critical program needs. These prioritized lists feed directly into university level decisions regarding priorities and greatly facilitate budget preparation and execution. Decisions related to workforce needs are influenced by long-term market trends and environmental factors affecting higher educationone key being technology. The proliferation of non-traditional educational opportunities and distance education provided via ITV, Web, and other means creates new competitors almost daily and influences the type of employee WNMU now seeks.
5. What strategies align your leadership, decision-making, and communication processes with your mission and values, the policies and requirements of your oversight entities, and your legal, ethical, and social responsibilities?
The Board of Regents (BOR) ensures the University has an effective President, an appropriate vision and mission, and sets general policies. Four WNMU BOR members serve staggered six-year terms with the student regent serving a two-year term. The Governor of NM, WNMUs President, and Faculty, Staff and Student Senate Presidents are ex-officio, non-voting BOR members. A minimum of four BOR meetings is required annually. HED coordinates higher education activities in the state.
Internal strategies that align WNMUs leadership, decision-making, and communication processes with the Mission, values, requirements and responsibilities are developed largely through the strategic planning process (SPP). For the WNMU 2009-2012 strategic plan, these include:
v Serve identified key markets and aggressively recruit and retain students from these markets, while remaining open to new opportunities as informed by University assessment methods and strategies.
v Create, expand, and market programs and services to meet customer needs identified through various assessments and environmental changes.
v Meet or exceed the customer service and support needs of our students.
v Identify and use benchmarks to help evaluate and improve external and internal supplier/vendor relationships that impact students, such as bookstore, food service, and residence hall facilities, practices, and policies.
v Better prepare present and future students for their higher education experience. (cf. ASC, Admissions, and Financial Aid services)
v Create an environment that supports faculty and staff dedication to WNMUs mission, vision and values.
v Use effective and inclusive communication strategies and processes.
v Create educational services that enhance WNMUs relationship with its education and economic development partners.
v Continue to assess community needs, such as alumni, DOL, HED, regional residents, etc., and implement actions to meet those needs.
v Regularly review existing processes, programs, and practices to evaluate whether there are smarter and more cost effective ways to accomplish them.
v Regularly inform stakeholders.
v Regularly seek stakeholder feedback.
6. What strategies align your key administrative support goals with your mission and values? What services, facilities, and equipment do you provide to achieve them?
The WNMU strategic planning process (SPP) is the primary context in which key administrative support goals are aligned with the mission, vision and values of the University. The SPP process is presented in detail in Category 8P1.1. Strategies most directly linked to key administrative support processes fall under Strategic Challenge 2: Improve, broaden, and sustain a quality life experience for all WNMU students, and include:
Strategy 2.1 Meet or exceed the customer service and support needs of our students.
Strategy 2.2 Define and implement a student complaint process that incorporates continuous monitoring and evaluation of its effectiveness.
Strategy 2.3 Identify and use benchmarks to help evaluate and improve external and internal supplier/vendor relationships that impact students, such as bookstore, food service, and residence hall facilities, practices, and policies.
Strategy 2.4 Expand and broaden student curricular and extracurricular activities at all campuses and in their respective communities.
Strategy 2.5 Systematically promote cultural awareness and appreciation within the institution.
Strategy 2.6 Better prepare present and future students for their higher education experience. (cf. ASC, Admissions, and Financial Aid services)
Strategy 2.7 Continue to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of First Year Experience actions in response to the Foundations of Excellence recommendations.
Services, facilities, and equipment provided to support institutional operations include: the Academic Support Center, the Child Development Center, Student Health Services; GED, literacy, ESL and citizenship preparation; Financial Aid services; automated Admissions and Registration processes; the Writing Center; facilities expansion; new student orientations; Student Success Seminars; grant funding to support technology and facilities expansion; It Help Desk; and Advising Space on the web portal, Mustang Express.
7. What determines the data and information you collect and distribute? What information resources and technologies govern how you manage and use data?
Data collection and distribution is determined by a variety of reporting requirements, including:
v Council of University Presidents annual Performance Effectiveness Reports
v Volunteer System of Accountability reporting
v Higher Education reporting requirements (various budgets and audits, Fiscal Watch reports, capital projects requests and updates, Research and Public Service Projects, accreditation self studies, enrollment data)
Data collection occurs at many levels; as its storage and accessibility may vary according to its source and its purpose. Institutional data is now gathered, aggregated and disseminated, as requested, by the Office of Data Analysis & Research. The Director of this office leads the WNMU Data Integrity Team. This group exists to ensure reliability and validity of all data obtained from the SCT Banner system, and develops procedures for data reporting.
Recent development of WNMU by the Numbers, the Institutional Scorecard, has facilitated distribution of data and information related to strategic objectives and targets for improvement in all divisions. It is also a powerful tool for sharing WNMUs successes.
Department-specific data is collected, stored, and distributed through the department office, usually on Excel spreadsheets. Institutional data is collected in the initial office where it is needed and entered into the Banner system, WNMUs integrated administrative information system, where it is available to all users. The student/administrative information system includes registration, financial aid, degree audit, finance, and human resource modules and is available through the campus network and via the Web to those with authorized access. The Banner system allows a single point of data entry with availability to all appropriate users. Via Mustang Express, students can access relevant information such as grades, transcripts, and financial aid information; faculty and staff can access information essential to their work responsibilities and personal information such as mailing address, payroll, and leaveall password protected. The library utilizes Voyager software as its primary information system.
Collection and transfer of knowledge among faculty and staff occurs through many mechanisms mentioned previously including VP Councils, Faculty Senate and General Assembly meetings, Staff Senate and General Assembly meetings, departmental meetings, workshops, publications, and cross-functional teams that may include students and external stakeholders, as well as poster sessions sharing assessment and Writing Across the Curriculum information. Mustang Express, the WNMU web portal, email distribution lists, and a variety of WIKI pages enable sharing of information.
Finally, because WNMU is a small campus, distribution of information and best practices frequently occurs by personal interactions. This mechanism is used formally in the strategic planning Communications Tree reporting structure. Other examples of communications techniques used to distribute data and information are provided in figure 5P7.1 WNMU Key Communication Mechanisms.
8. What are the key commitments, constraints, challenges, and opportunities with which you must align your organizations short- and long-term plans and strategies?
The most significant strategic challenge facing the University today is: cost containment to accommodate national and State of New Mexico financial crises and budget reductions without compromising quality.
WNMU Strategic Challenges as developed in the strategic planning process are:
1: Increase enrollment and student success.
2: Improve, broaden, and sustain a quality life experience for all WNMU students.
3: Improve and sustain the welfare, morale, and work effectiveness of all WNMU employees.
4: Sustain and improve a quality technology environment that supports students, faculty, staff, and communities in the use and value of instructional, administrative, and communication technologies.
5: Improve, broaden and sustain WNMUs economic development, community, regional, and global relationships.
6: Improve fiscal and material resources in order to address the needs identified in the strategic plan.
7: Increase accountability to all stakeholders.
By 2012, general education elements and undergraduate hands-on practice will be integrated into programmatic coursework; classes and student services will be offered in a variety of modalities; enrollment will be continuous; and technological means of teaching, learning, and communication will be dominantly facilitated by wireless connectivity. Nationally recognized teacher education, business and economic development, health professions, social work, law enforcement, and early childhood development programs will attract students seeking the best education possible from the Southwest, Mexico, and Asia. Adult Education Services (AES) will continue to support high quality literacy, ESL, and GED programs. Wireless technology links will facilitate learning regardless of location. WNMU will be a national leader in the fields of academic advising and international economic development. Students will value active learning practices and demand higher standards from all professors. Faculty effort will focus on curriculum development and design. Scholarly/creative work will focus on teaching and learning. Faculty, staff, and administrative officers will work as a team through their respective governance organizations using the institutions data warehouse and knowledge management system to support decisions reflective of institutional values. Collaborative relationships with Southwest and international higher education institutions, school systems, health care, and business organizations will facilitate joint programming and internship, clinical, fieldwork, and co-op placement opportunities for students, faculty and staff. WNMU will operate within a fully implemented culture of assessment.
Constraints and challenges include the economic climate world-wide and budget shortfalls in the state of New Mexico. While WNMU is currently experiencing record high enrollments, it is unlikely that state formula funding will fully reflect these increases in the coming years. Another significant constraint lies in the fact that retention rates are calculated on six-year matriculation of baccalaureate (not associate or certificate) students and do not take into consideration transfer students; the combination of these imposed parameters misrepresents WNMUs graduation rates by nearly 75%. Information regarding our significant community college role is currently being carried forward to the state level by WNMU administration in an effort to address this situation.
9. What key partnerships and collaborations, external and internal, contribute to your
organizations effectiveness?
Figure 9P1.1 provides a listing of the institutions key collaborative relationships and ways these relationships reinforce WNMUs mission. Involvement in local and statewide groups and initiatives, from the New Mexico Higher Education Department to Quality New Mexico, New Mexico Higher Education Assessment and Retention, and the New Mexico Council for Higher Education Computing/Communication Service, provide faculty and staff with opportunities to serve and to contribute to organizational learning.
The SPP, Presidents Cabinet, and SEAT consider which of the various collaborative relationships are of highest priority. This may vary from year to year and within the year as the environment changes. For example, the Displaced Workers Assistance Team (DWAT) was formed quickly late last year when a local mine announced that it was effectively ceasing operations. A collaborative relationship between WNMU leadership, Workforce solutions (formerly known as the Department of Labor), industry leaders, local elected officials, and social welfare agencies collaborated to create educational programs and support services for displaced workers.
Faculty and staff SP Forum participants saw collaborative relationships as enriching WNMU in a variety of ways. As they state itcollaborative relationships encourage development of new programs, enable WNMU to utilize expertise it does not have internally, create and validate ideas, enhance diversity, provide additional sources of stakeholder feedback, add to WNMUs technical support, provide an external source of funding, encourage the institution to stay at the cutting edge in many areas, facilitate responsiveness to accepting change, and shape the direction of instruction and curriculum.
WNMU also benefits from the key partnerships established and strengthened from its newest division, the Office of Institutional Advancement. Efforts to enhance relationships with alumni, donors, and the community through Institutional Advancement strategic planning and marketing initiatives are producing results that are detailed in Category 2.

FULL-TIME: Blackburn Rovers 3 Brighton & Hove Albion 3
Updated 3:56pm Wednesday 2nd April 2014 in Football
JORDAN Rhodes took his tally to 50 goals since joining Rovers – but Dale Stephens' late equaliser earned Brighton a point at Ewood Park.
The Seagulls led when David Rodriguez beat Paul Robinson at the near post in the 17th minute but Rhodes levelled from Tom Cairney's low free kick eight minutes later.
The returning Cairney then scored himself from Tommy Spurr's cross to put Gary Bowyer's side ahead three minutes before half-time. Former Rovers defender Gordon Greer netted from a corner to make it 2-2 with 11 minutes to go but Rhodes thought he had settled the contest in the 86th minute when he converted a penalty he had won.
It was his 50th goal in 89 appearances for Rovers since his club record £8m move from Huddersfield Town in August 2012. But two minutes later Brighton sub Stephens headed in from a Jesse Lingard cross.
The draw leaves Rovers 11th in the Championship table and seven points off the top six with seven games to play – the first of which comes at home to Ipswich Town on Saturday.
Rovers boss Bowyer, whose team are unbeaten in five matches but have drawn their last four, said: "Brighton only had four shots on target so it's majorly disappointing.
"Our first goal was an outstanding finish, the second was an unbelievable move and the third goal was a penalty.
"Then you look at the goals we've conceded and we have to be majorly disappointed by them.
"We've scored eight goals in the last three games and we've got three points to show for it and it's not acceptable.
"We've kept 12 clean sheets this season and we've got to get back to that quickly because we're scoring goals and our attacking play is looking very good."
Rovers were given a big boost prior to kick-off when word came through from the FA that the club's appeal against captain Grant Hanley's controversial sending off in Saturday's 2-2 draw at Millwall had been upheld.
That meant the centre-back, who was facing a two-game ban, was eligible to play.
Corry Evans came off with a dead leg but it is hoped he will be fit for Saturday's home clash with Ipswich Town.
Rovers: Robinson, Keane, Hanley, Kilgallon, Spurr, Cairney, Evans (Taylor 68), Williamson (Gestede 88), Conway, Dunn (King 70), Rhodes. Subs not used: Eastwood, Kane, Varney, Feeney. Goals: Rhodes 25, 86pen, Cairney 42.
Brighton: Kuszczak, Bruno, Greer, Upson, Ward, Andrews, Forster-Caskey (March 63), Ince (Stephens 46), Lingard, Rodriguez (LuaLua 76), Ulloa. Subs not used: Brezovan, Calderon, Dunk, Lopez. Booked: March, Bruno. Goals: Rodriguez 17, Greer 79, Stephens 88. Referee: Mark Brown. Attendance: 12,332 (272 away).

This is my fave of all the Tommy Bahama scents. After the top notes, the tuberose and frangipani really stand out. After a recent trip to Hawaii, having tuberose and frangipani leis, this brings back wonderful memories, and very authentic to the actual flowers.
The bottle is very pretty. It has a peach color with a beautiful iridescent finish. I've been looking for a nice Tuberose scent, and this one is a keeper.

Comments about Tommy Bahama By Tommy Bahama:
This one is for sure a winner in any arena. I used to wear WHITE DIAMONDS and my guy loved it a lot, then I decided to try TOMMY BAHAMA. The first night that I wore it he pulled me into his arms, and said "I don't know what that is you've got on but it calls WHITE DIAMONDS a dirty name." Needless to say, it's a keeper!!!

The 2013 NFL preseason schedule has been released, and Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith gets to face his old team.
The Chiefs open their 2013 season by playing on the road against the New Orleans Saints.
The home opener comes at Arrowhead Stadium when the Chiefs play Smith's old team, the San Francisco 49ers. The third week will be on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Chiefs and Cheeseheads will pack Arrowhead as the Chiefs wind up their preseason games against the Green Bay Packers.
The exact dates and times of the games have not been announced, but KCTV5 will air all the Chiefs preseason games.
Coming on the heels of two disappointing seasons and the firing of general manager Scott Pioli and head coach Romeo Crennel, Chiefs fans desperately want to get back to winning and would like to see it start in the preseason. Many fans are hopeful about the changes made by new GM John Dorsey and head coach Andy Reid.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - A man has been convicted in the fatal shooting of a Tucson teenager during a drug deal in 2011.
Pima County prosecutors say a jury on Wednesday found 21-year-old Keanu Deano Castaneda guilty of first-degree murder, armed robbery and aggravated assault.
Castaneda was accused of killing 17-year-old Carlos Sandoval on Dec. 31, 2011.
Prosecutors say Castaneda planned to steal a pound of marijuana from the teen. Castaneda testified that the shooting was an accident.
Jurors found Castaneda committed the murder during the course of a felony but decided the act was not premeditated.
His sentencing is scheduled for May 12.

North stages late comeback against Smoky
Mon. February 17, 2014 at 10:33 p.m. | By Joey Millwood

It was kind of like the ending of one of Sylvester Stallone's Rocky movies on Monday night at North Henderson.
Just when the Lady Knights looked down and out against Smoky Mountain, a late barrage of punches brought their opponent to its knees in a 50-45 overtime victory.
North walked off the court down 31-21 at the end of the third quarter. Smoky Mountain seemed to be firmly in control of the game as time ticked off the clock. The Lady Mustangs seemed to have an answer for every push that North had.
The Lady Knights opened up the fourth quarter with two quick baskets, but the Lady Mustangs answered with a 3-pointer. North pulled to within four points at 36-32, but just couldn't get over the hump.
North Henderson just couldn't get over the hump.
With two minutes left in the fourth quarter, that all began to change.
Ellie Caldwell, who led all scorers with 20 points, intercepted a pass and darted down court for a quick two to get the Lady Knights within three points at 39-36.
A minute later, Caldwell hit a 3-pointer and the momentum officially shifted. The Lady Knights were no longer back on their heels. North was bringing the intensity that coach Sue Moon had been begging them for.
"I think they finally realized if they didn't pick up the intensity, they would not win that game," Moon said. "Our defense picked up and I was real happy with that."
With Caldwell leading the charge, others began to follow. Senior Miranda Matthews forced Smoky's Trenna Worley into a turnover at half court with 32 seconds left in the half with North down 41-39.
Just seconds later, Matthews stood on the baseline with the ball above her head, looking for an open teammate throw an inbounds pass to. She found Cameron Pryor and the senior post player scored the game-tying bucket.
"My heart was beating, but I knew she'd be open," Matthews said. "I had faith in my teammates. That's who I was looking for and I gave it to her."
That sent the game into overtime where the Lady Knights took complete control. Matthew hit two free throws and grabbed a rebound. Jonnie Petree scored four points. Pryor added three in the overtime period en route to the dramatic victory. Pryor scored 16 points and Petree added six points. Toryn Ledford led the way for the Lady Mustangs (10-13, 7-7) with 13 points.
The victory solidified North (14-10, 8-6) third place in the WNC Athletic Conference and second place in the 3-A side of the conference. North will get a No. 2 seeding in the state playoffs, Moon said, making this team one of the most successful in the last decade at North.
North will play West Henderson at 7 p.m. in the conference tournament on Wednesday at Smoky Mountain High School.
In the nightcap, Smoky Mountain (22-0, 14-0) jumped on the North (11-13, 6-8) boys from the start en route to dominating 80-49 victory.
Cal Raleigh led the Mustangs with 24 points. Cory Foster led the Knights with 11 points and three blocks and Johnny Heim added 10 points and seven rebounds.
North will play West Henderson at 8:30 p.m. at Smoky Mountain High School in the conference tournament on Wednesday.

Please use the buttons below to see more information on Newcastle Falcons and matches between Wasps and Falcons over the years.
Roared on by the passionate support of a record Adams Park crowd, Wasps ensured their Premiership survival, despite a narrow defeat against a Newcastle side who will end the season at the bottom of the table. Peter Stringer's late match-winning try did not spoil the joyous scenes that greeted the final whistle, after an absorbing clash between two sides battling for survival.
Newcastle applied the early pressure, after Wasps failed to gather Jimmy Gopperth's long kick-off. Charlie Davies managed to clear to touch, but Newcastle won the lineout and the forwards made ten metres, before moving the ball infield. The Wasps defence stood firm, and were rewarded with a penalty, inside their 22.
Wasps launched their first attack of the game in the fifth minute, when Nick Robinson gathered a clearance kick, in midfield, after a Billy Vunipola charge ended in a Newcastle turnover. He fed Richard Haughton, who cut past one defender, before passing to Christian Wade, who came on to the ball at pace. He made 15 metres before the defence smothered him, and Wasps were caught offside.
Newcastle had a great chance to go ahead in the eighth minute, after Wasps were penalised on their 10-metre line, but Jimmy Gopperth slipped in his run-up, and sent his kick wide of the posts.
Richard Haughton caught the eye again, when he rose high to gather a kick-ahead, under enormous pressure. Although he went to ground, he was not held, so he got back to his feet and raced downfield, before sending a kick towards the corner, which went just too far for the chasing Tom Varndell. Wasps then put together a sustained attack, taking the ball through numerous phases, before Joe Launchbury was forced into touch near the right corner.
Nick Robinson had a chance to open the score, in the 14th minute, but his long-range penalty dropped just short. New castle were then awarded a penalty, within kicking distance, but Gopperth chose to go for the corner. They won the lineout, but possession was spilt in the maul, and Sam Jones snapped up the loose ball to make ten valuable metres, before the ball was cleared downfield. The flanker then pounced on a misdirected throw to make further ground, but a promising position was spoilt by a penalty against Wasps.
Wasps were forced into an injury replacement in the 23rd minute, when Charlie Davies made way for Nic Berry. Berry immediately had a clearance kick charged down, from a lineout in the Wasps 22. The ball rolled into touch at the corner. Wasps threw to the tail of the lineout, where Vunipola and Jones were unable to gather, but Newcastle were penalised.
The visitors kept up the pressure, and won a series of penalties in kickable positions – but, each time, they turned down the chance to go for the positions. Eventually, the Wasps defence pressured them into an offence, just inside the 22, and Robinson's clearance lifted the siege.
The closing minutes of the half saw Wasps threatening to score, with a series of sustained attacks, but the Newcastle defence was proving hard to breach. Five minutes before the break, the visitors were penalised for collapsing a scrum, just inside their 22. From five metres in from touch, Robinson landed a tricky kick, to put Wasps 3-0 ahead.
Two minutes later, the capacity crowd was on its feet to hail a spectacular Wasps try. It was started by another superb counterattacking run by Richard Haughton, who'd had an outstanding first half. After gathering a kick near his own ten-metre line, he accelerated past a series of would-be tacklers, to make his way deep into Newcastle territory. He found Robinson on his inside, and the fly half sent a beautiful lobbed pass to Christian Wade, who raced clear for his ninth Premiership try of the season. Robinson added the extra points with a superb touchline conversion, to make the halftime score 10-0.
The first main threat of the second half came from Wasps, following an excellent move down the left. It was ended by Jamie Helleur's crunching tackle on Elliot Daly, who lost the ball after being stopped in his tracks, ten metres from the line. Simon McIntyre came into the front row, with Billy Vunipola leaving the field.
Newcastle took immediate advantage, as they won possession from the scrum, moved the ball out to the right, and James Fitzpatrick forced his way over, despite a last-ditch tackle by Joe Launchbury. Gopperth converted the try, to make the score 10-7, after 54 minutes.
Three minutes later, Nick Robinson missed a long-range penalty, from out near the left touchline. Newcastle went back on the attack, and spent several minutes near the Wasps line, but the 14 men held out until Broster's return from the sin bin.
Wasps then had a great chance to counterattack, after Newcastle lost possession near the Wasps 22. Marco Wentzel hacked downfield, and Tom Lindsay gathered, in acres of space, with Tom Varndell outside him. Instead of feeding the winger, Lindsay chose to kick downfield and Newcastle were able to gather and clear to safety.
Just over ten minutes from time, Nick Robinson was poleaxed by a dangerous-looking tackle by Tai Tuifia. He needed several minutes of treatment, during which the challenge was shown on the giant screen. To the amazement of the home crowd, play re-commenced with a penalty to the visitors.
Richard Birkett, later named man of the match, then left the field, to a huge ovation, to be replaced by Tinus du Plessis. Seven minutes from time, Tim Swinson powered his way over the Wasps line, but the TMO ruled that the ball had not been grounded. The visitors continued to hammer away at the line. Four minutes from time, Peter Stringer managed to burrow his way over for a try, which Gopperth converted. But it was too little, too late, and Wasps managed to play out the closing minutes to end the season with their Premiership status guaranteed

How to Get the Most into Your Dishwasher to Get the Most Out of It
While we all know at least one self-proclaimed dishwasher loading pro, after reading this, you can count yourself among their hallowed ranks. And pick up a few tricks to keep your dishwasher in tip-top shape for years to come.
Know your water
If you've ever had trouble rinsing off soap, you've got soft water. The good news is that you'll need only a fraction of the dishwasher detergent recommended on the product label. Hard water is a different story. Stick with powder detergents; gels don't rinse well and can cause build up. Using a rinse agent can eliminate those inevitable spots at the end of the cycle.
Whether you have hard water or soft, regular white vinegar works great as both a rinse agent and gunk build-up cleaner. To clean, add a cup of vinegar to an empty dishwasher about every 6 months and let it run. If your water's especially hard, do it more often so your dishwasher performs at its best.
Another tip to remember is that with today's high-tech, highly efficient dishwashers, pre-rinsing your dishes and cutlery by hand first is unnecessary (and it wastes water, too). Your dishwasher should be able to remove all grime and residue.
Load 'er up!
There are limits, of course, to how many - or few - plates, bowls and utensils you should pile into your dishwasher. If it's overcrowded, the spray nozzles inside won't spin like they're supposed to and could hit the dishes. If it's half-empty, dishes are more likely to bang around inside and break--and you'll be wasting twice the amount of water than your dishwasher would use for a full load.
So what's the solution? Large plates always go on the bottom rack, leaning toward the center. Load them first so you can see how much space is left. From there, add large bowls and pots and pans (either facing toward the middle or down, so they don?t collect water). Be sure to allow cutting boards enough room on each side to get a thorough washing. Finally, glasses, bowls, plastic-ware and large serving utensils all go on top. (Plastic, such as cutting boards, can overheat and melt on the bottom rack?not a pretty sight). As long as the dishwasher is full, glasses and bowl rims can touch and are unlikely to break.
Give 'em a hand
Just like that gorgeous cashmere sweater you'd never think of throwing into the dryer, certain items should always be washed by hand:
- Chef knives
- Lead crystal
- Delicate glassware
- Copper
- Cast iron
- Sterling silver
- Pewter
- Hand-painted objects
- Antiques
- Glued, wooden items
- Plastic NOT labeled dishwasher safe
- Paintbrushes
- Tools
As with any home appliance, a little common sense goes a long way in keeping your stuff, your family, and your home safe. Now if you could only get someone else to unload your dishwasher...

Now is the time for nonprofits to review and strengthen financial internal controls.
Conventional wisdom is that embezzlement and fraud occurs more in tough economic times. Perpetrators may be facing personal financial distress and may want to borrow money or assets, or think the organization doesnt really need those things.
It is easier to hide fraud during good times, however, especially during times of economic recovery. The number of transactions rises, making it harder to identify a single incident or a pattern. Also, vigilant boards and senior staff may relax as times get easier.
Here are some steps that may help prevent embezzlement and fraud:
- Have multiple layers of approval for expenditures: Require two signatures for expenditures above an amount that is significant. The check preparer is not to sign the check.
- Require original receipts, invoices and other documentation before payment is made.
- Segregate duties: No one person is responsible for an active financial transaction. This means no one person is responsible for receiving, depositing, recording and reconciling the receipt of funds. And no one person is responsible for authorizing payments, disbursing funds and reconciling bank statements.
- Back up financial records daily.
- Require employees who hold financial positions to take an uninterrupted vacation for two weeks. This permits transactions to clear in their absence. An employee refusing to go on vacation could signal a problem.
- Never pre-sign checks.
- Actively encourage whistleblowers and have a whistleblower policy.
- Have an independent audit. Although these audits must only give reasonable assurance that no material misstatements have been made, the process the auditors use helps uncover improper transactions.
- Conduct pre-employment background checks for all employees with fiduciary duties.
- Prosecute perpetrators.

Chronically homeless veterans in Phoenix are now under one roof, cementing a joint goal of Sen. John McCain and Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton.
On Veterans Day, Stanton pledged the City would make sure each of the veterans was off the streets by Christmas.
The next day, the City Council unanimously allocated $100,000 to speed up efforts to place the city's remaining 56 veterans in permanent housing.
Two years ago, Project H3 Vets identified 222 chronically homeless veterans in Phoenix. The average time each of these veterans has been homeless is eight years, and more than half are veterans of the Vietnam War.
Each will be transitioned into permanent housing by Arizona's Statehood Day - Feb. 14, 2014.
The mayor and Project H3 VETS have cut chronic homelessness among veterans by 62 percent since the project launched two years ago.
Project H3 VETS is a partnership of the Arizona Coalition to End Homelessness, Phoenix VA Health Care System, Arizona Department of Veteran Services, Arizona Department of Housing, Valley of the Sun United Way, Community Bridges, City of Phoenix and others.

Opening statements began Monday morning in the trial of a Scottsdale father accused of shooting his two young sons and then turning the gun on himself.
Andre Leteve survived, but his boys were killed.
Both the defense and the prosecutors agree, Andre Leteve killed his kids then tried to kill himself. Prosecutors say it was premeditated. Defense attorneys say it wasn't.
After the shootings, Leteve made a chilling 911 call from his home near Scottsdale Road and Lincoln Drive.
911 Operator: "What's going on?"
Leteve: "I just shot and killed my sons and shot myself."
911 Operator: "You did what?"
Leteve: "I shot and killed my sons."
5-year-old Alec and 1-year-old Asher appear to have been in the middle of a nasty divorce. Prosecutors say Leteve was jealous that his soon-to-be ex-wife had moved on with a new boyfriend.
Defense attorneys say he just snapped and it wasn't planned, but prosecutors told the jury Leteve planned everything.
911 Operator: "Where did you get shot? What part of your body did you shoot yourself?"
Leteve: "The face."
911 Operator: "In the face… are you putting anything over where you're bleeding from?"
Leteve: "No."
911 Operator: "Okay I'd like you to put something over where you're bleeding from, okay."
Court records show that Leteve was worried that his estranged wife was going to take the boys and move to Florida.
The jury saw two suicide notes left at the scene, and prosecutors say Leteve spent days on his computer modifying the notes. He also allegedly made his 5-year-old son Alec sign one of them.
One note read: "This should f--- you for a long time to come. For everything you get in life you must give something up. Enjoy the rest of your life without us."
Also Monday, a Scottsdale Police officer testified. She was the first one at the house after the shooting. She got teary-eyed when talking about finding the kids.
Leteve pleaded not guilty to murder charges.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - A convicted sex offender has pleaded not guilty Tuesday to a felony charge of failure to register.
Danny Shaw, 29, was arrested at a children's trick-or-treating event in Ramona on Halloween night. He was reportedly harassing the children and slipped candy into the bag of at least one of them.
Shaw was originally convicted of a sexual offense in Oregon in 2003, which required him to register as a sex offender.
"In 2005, he was convicted of failing to register as a sex offender in San Diego County, for which he was convicted of a felony. He has not registered in the state of California since 2005, and that is the basis of our charges here," Deputy District Attorney Derek Grilz said.
Shaw is being held on $100,000 bail. He's due back in court next Friday.

Bengals QB Carson Palmer will start on Thursday night against the Jets, even after missing practice on Monday.
Palmer has been bothered by a foot injury, but head coach Marvin Lewis was confident his veteran signalcaller would be healthy enough for the AFC wild-card rematch from a season ago come Thanksgiving.
If he were unable to play, Jordan Palmer, the starter's younger brother, would be the Cincinnati quarterback.
The way we see it
Carson Palmer has struggled in recent weeks while dealing with this foot problem, tossing five interceptions in the past two games. With a pair of big-name receivers lining up in the Bengals' offense, the team expects better numbers from their high-priced QB. Expect a few more interceptions this week against an opportunistic Jets defense.

These situations include all emergencies causing a large number of casualties that require special organisation and response by local, regional and national medical and other services.
Attending the course will be physicians, nurses, hospital administrators, police and fire officers, rescue teams and others who may be faced with situations such as fires or floods, mass traffic accidents (trains, airplanes or buses), or massive explosions (industrial accidents or terrorist attacks).
The course, entitled "Best Way of Training for Mass Casualty Situations", has been developed by emergency management experts from The Teaching Center for Trauma, Emergency and Mass Casualty Situations at Rambam Health Care Campus in Haifa, in collaboration with the Department of Field Surgery at the University of Defence in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic.
During the course, trainees are exposed to teaching methods such as courses, drills, medical simulation and computer programmes, and they engage in small group discussions and lectures. Common training techniques are important because coordination and collaboration among the different forces (rescue, military, police, and so on) are key to a successful response in mass casualty situations.
The course aims to boost participants' knowledge of medical training tools and their ability to use them effectively. Proper training and preparedness of medical staff will help save lives in the event of mass casualty situations and enable better treatment of the injured.
More information on the training course can be found at http://www.nato-course.com/.

OpenStack, simply put, is a series of interrelated projects delivering components for a cloud infrastructure solution. The projects are worked on by a global collaboration of developers and cloud computing providers supporting an open source cloud computing platform for public and private clouds, and the objectives are cookie-cutter cloud computing, including massive scalability and ease of use.
The OpenStack effort was launched by Rackspace and NASA a year ago. Researchers at the NASA Ames Research Center first developed the base components of OpenStack, called Nova, to provide the U.S. space and aeronautical agency with a highly scalable private cloud. Rackspace then got involved to promote the technology commercially and later spun it out into an independent foundation.
[ InfoWorld's Savio Rodrigues argues that OpenStack will falter because it's based on the wrong open source model. | Get the no-nonsense explanations and advice you need to take real advantage of cloud computing in InfoWorld editors' 21-page Cloud Computing Deep Dive PDF special report. | Stay up on the cloud with InfoWorld's Cloud Computing Report newsletter. ]
What's the deal with OpenStack after a year? The market considers many of the existing leading public cloud computing solutions as closed and proprietary. Thus, there's a pent-up demand for an open source product, even though a few already existed -- the open source version of Eucalyptus, for example.
As such, OpenStack has momentum on its side. Since the launch, more than 100 organizations have contributed to the code base or participated in the project in some way. This includes Dell and Hewlett-Packard, who are building commercial cloud products using OpenStack as a base. Moreover, several startups, including Internap, Nebula, and Piston Cloud Computing, are basically providing OpenStack vending operations, much like Red Hat vends Linux. More recently, Rackspace has released a private cloud product based on OpenStack, as well as an architectural framework.

FORT MYERS: A 33-year-old felon is charged with multiple counts of fraud after allegedly changing his name and registering to vote.
Investigators from the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services came across Ahmad Asad Har Khuthi Ali, of Brookhill Drive in Fort Myers, when he sent a request for a replacement of his "lost" security guard license.
The request for a duplicate license came from a person listing himself as "Hon. Dr. Ahmad Asad Har-Khuthi," and had a photo of him, with copies of his Social Security and voter registration cards.
Investigators quickly determined Ali was formerly known as Augusta Frederick Gill, Jr. - and had been convicted of armed robbery in 1998.
He sentenced to four years in state prison and was released in January 2001.
Two months later he ditched the name "Gill" and went with "Ali," according to investigators.
He was arrested again later that year for carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.
Ali was convicted and served another five years in prison before being released in June 2007.
That led investigators to check on his voter registration application - since he'd provided a copy of his voter registration card in his request for the duplicate license.
Those convicted of felonies generally lose their voting rights and need to go through a special process to have them restored.
Investigators got Ali's registration form and found he'd lied on the part of the application that asks about being a convicted felon and/or having voting rights restored.
The Florida Parole Commission reportedly told investigators Ali had not had his voting rights restored.
Investigators also found he'd voted in several elections.
Ali is charged with five counts of voter fraud. He's being held in the Lee County Jail.
