The surf's up in Newport, and so is outrage over a plan to repair the Cliff Walk. The cliff walk was torn up by Superstorm Sandy, last Fall.
Now, surfers are joining forces with other groups who aren't so sure about the state's plan to fix it.
60 year old surf shop owner Sid Abbruzzi has been surfing the waves at "Ruggles Ave" in Newport since he fought to make it legal four decades ago.
"For us here in Newport, we consider it the best waves Newport has to offer and some of the best waves on the East Coast," said Abbruzzi.
He said repairs to gaping holes on the Cliff Walk could soon change that. To fix the mess, the state wants to put up temporary causeways that will jut out several feet into the surf.
"To provide access to the shoreline," said Rhode Island DOT Engineer Robert Smith, "As you know it's very difficult to access potions of the Cliff Walk, especially with the type of equipment we need for a project like this."
The other option is putting cranes and other construction equipment on properties like the Anglesea Estate along the Cliff Walk, but a representative for the owners said they don't want heavy machinery for a massive construction project on their property either.
Plus the DOT said putting the construction equipment on land would snarl already busy Newport traffic. But a local environmental group said using causeways could be hazardous for wildlife.
"There's such a high wave impact environment that the rock and the sediment is going to get thrown around the coastline if there's big surf," said Clean Ocean Access's Dave McLaughlin, "It's probably going to kill some of the fish in the marine habitat. It's going to have irreversible consequences that we really can't predict."
Wednesday, the environmental group and around 250 local surfers rallied at City Hall, pushing for a resolution that will stall the project. They'll all be wearing shirts that say "Save Ruggles" sold at Abbruzzi's store.
"Thousands of thousands of tourists get to see Ruggles when it's breaking as they're walking the cliff," said Abbruzzi, "It's not a Fenway Park, but in a way it's our Fenway Park."
The DOT said it's open to reworking its close to 7-million dollars repair plan.

Know Your Birth Control Options
They look like devices from outer space, but they've marked one giant leap for womankind. Here are the best methods for your age and life stage.
Decisions, Decisions…
When you're choosing which birth control to use, you have a lot to think about. "Age is one of the first things to consider,"
says Thomas Migliaccio, a gynecologist in Hoboken, New Jersey. "But you also need to factor in your menstrual and medical
histories, convenience, and cost." Generally, all the methods discussed here can be effective for most women. But to help
narrow your options, these are the best bets based on what you're probably looking for from your contraception.
In Your 20s and Early 30s
What's on your mind
You could be looking to prevent pregnancy now but planning to conceive in the distant future. You might already have babies
on the brain. Or you may be in between. In other words, you need contraception with some flexibility.
Methods to consider
Delivered by an injection once every three months, Depo-Provera contains progesterone, which helps prevent ovulation and thickens
cervical mucus to block sperm from entering the uterus. It can be a good choice for women who can't take estrogen. This method
is best for those who don't plan to conceive soon, since in some cases it can take up to a year for fertility to return.
Benefits: The longer you're on Depo-Provera, the lighter your periods become (some women even stop getting them). And you don't have to take a daily pill.
Downsides: You have to visit your gynecologist every three months for an injection. Also, studies show that this method can cause bone loss over time, so you don't want to stay on it longer than five years, says Migliaccio.
Cost: $40 to $100 a shot; may be covered by insurance.

Eveline E. Schneeberger, MD
Massachusetts General Hospital
Professor of Pathology
Harvard Medical School
Dr. Schneeberger is Professor of Pathology at Harvard Medical School. She received her BA degree from the University of Colorado and her M.D. with honors from the University of Colorado Medical School. She completed an internship in Internal Medicine at Barnes Hospital in St. Louis, MO, followed by a four year residency in Pathology at the University of Rochester. She then spent an NIH-funded year conducting research at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, Oxford England with Professor Henry Harris. This was followed by an NIH-funded year of research at Harvard Medical School in the laboratory of Professor Morris J. Karnovsky. After seven years in the Pathology Department at Children's Hospital, Boston, during which time she conducted research and served as a renal pathologist, she joined the Pathology Department at MGH in 1979 where, from 1979 to 2010, she served as a renal pathologist. During that time, as well as currently, she has been and continues to be an independent investigator whose research is funded by two NIH RO-1 grants. Her research interests include the cell and molecular biology of pulmonary epithelial cells. She has been an invited speaker at both national and international symposia. She is on the Editorial Boards of the American Journal of Pathology and the American Journal of Physiology, Cell Physiology, as well as an ad hoc reviewer for circa 23 other journals. She has served on a number of NIH and NIEHS study sections both as a permanent member, as well as an ad hoc reviewer of NIH research grant applications.
Research Interests
A single layer of epithelial cells separates us from the harmful effects of inhaled pathogens and environmental toxic agents. Tight junctions determine the integrity, barrier function and polarity of this cell layer. Should the cellular barrier be breached, the immune system must then distinguish innocuous from pathogenic antigens. Dendritic cells are key to this process.
Tight junctions:
Our laboratory examines the molecular composition and regulation of tight junctions as they pertain to the permeability properties of the lung. These studies utilize cultured cells and rodent animal models. Using inducible expression systems, we examined the contribution of occludin and claudin-1 to the barrier function of cultured epithelial cells. More recently, using siRNA to suppress occludin expression by >95% we found that occludin transduces signals from neighboring apoptotic cells to the actin cytoskeleton via RhoA. In further studies, using cholesterol depleting agents combined with differential centrifugation and density gradients, we observed that the integral tight junction proteins appear to segregate into two classes: those whose physical properties are cholesterol dependent (occludin, claudin-2 and –3) and those that are cholesterol independent (claudin-1, -4 and –7). Defining the molecular composition of tight junctions is key to understanding the barrier function of epithelial cells, and to devising strategies that prevent these proteins from serving as portals of entry to a variety of pathogens.
Dendritic cells:
A second major goal of our laboratory is to examine the biology of dendritic cells in the lung. These important antigen-presenting cells are intercalated between epithelial cells of airways and in the interstitium of the lung. We have shown that dendritic cell precursors are enriched in the pulmonary vasculature, they are involved in the initiation of granulomatous inflammation, they engulf inhaled pathogens and transport them to local lymph nodes where they initiate an immune response. Using a mouse tracheal epithelial cell line in an in vitro chemotaxis assay, we have shown that dendritic cells form transient tight junctions in order to maintain the epithelial barrier. The ability of dendritic cells to migrate through the interstitium is dependent on expression of matrix metalloproteases (MMP), a process that we examine in selected MMP null mice. Elucidating these processes are key to understanding the defense mechanisms that operate to protect the lung from environmental pathogens.

Featured Faculty Profile
Kenneth Steinkruger
Senior Professor - DeVry University Chicago
Teaching Field: Business Information Systems
"Training provides some skills that are immediately and directly applicable but that's about it. Education provides the knowledge that a person can use to develop and apply their own skills. Training goes out of date. Education never does. You will get an education at DeVry."
Where I come from
I've taught at DeVry University since 1991. Before that, I was involved with residential real estate development with one of the largest companies in the U.S., as well as with a major local company. I worked in both operations and information technology. This gave me a chance to see things from both 'sides' of the business; that attitude is central to our Business Administration's Business Information Systems (BIS) concentration.
I am a full-time teacher. Between preparing for my classes, teaching my classes, being involved with campus life, and being involved with the University as a whole, I don't really have time for a separate business life. But I do try to keep up with developments in my field. I read a lot, attend conferences, and continually take technical training. A lot of material is available online, which is good since it minimizes travel time and time away from classes.
How my career contributes to your education
I've been where you're going. I've been 'yelled at' (or worse) when things didn't come out right. I can help my students become prepared to avoid that. And I can help them prepare to recover from it when it happens in spite of their best efforts. I'll also tell you all about the benefits of doing a good job - the internal satisfaction, the material rewards, and personal advancement.
What I really like about teaching, compared to management, is that as a manager, I was always trying to get people to do things that really weren't in their best interest. For example, I would want contractors to do a better job more quickly but for less money. As a teacher, I am trying to get students to do things that really are in their best interest. We are on the same side, even if it always doesn't seem like it in the short-term.
Teaching inspiration
I am grateful to all my teachers, even the 'bad' ones; they taught me what not to do. I had very good science teachers in grade school. Mrs. Neff let me do a year long independent study of microbiology so I wouldn't be bored. That's putting a lot of trust in a fourth grader and volunteering for a lot of extra work, grading an individual project like that. In fifth grade, Mrs. Curtis continued the independent study format but insisted that I broaden my horizons; otherwise I might not have studied anything but bacteria and protozoa. In sixth grade, Mr. Yow and his wife spent two Saturdays a month taking our "Science Club" to museums, fossil digs, etc. My high school English teacher, Mrs. Wankel, taught everybody how important it was to write precisely. My high school history teacher, Dr. Ott, had a doctorate but still came back to teach in his home town.
One of my favorite teachers was Dr. Guzman, my graduate advisor. Once he wanted me to read a particular book before the next class, and he drove to a library two towns away through a raging thunderstorm and tornado watch to get the book for me and left it on my front porch. Of course, it was still up to me to read it but he had certainly done more than his part.
In the footsteps of Mr. Yow
In addition to seeing students in class and in my office, I am the advisor of the student club for business students. I attend the twice monthly meetings as well as field trips - like Mr. Yow did for my sixth grade Science Club. As an advisor, I am also involved with our Campus Life office that organizes extra-curricular events for all students.
Service to the University
I am on several University-wide committees and have done some course development for the University as a whole. I co-authored the recently updated Visual Basic online class, and was on a system-wide committee for developing additional labs for the VB classroom. I was "Lab Architect" for new labs for our Web Development, Database and web site integration classes. In addition, I serve on committees that recommend changes to the BIS sequence to keep it up-to-date and integrate the recommendations into course design.
I am a facilitator in the "DeVry Leadership Academy", an in-house development program for all DeVry University managers. I also plan and organize the Chicago campus' "University Day" three times a year, the professional development program for staff members and professors.
The difference between training and education
Training provides some skills that are immediately and directly applicable but that's about it. Education provides the knowledge that a person can use to develop and apply their own skills. Training goes out of date. Education never does. You will get an education at DeVry University.
Why DeVry?
Through consultation with industry and a lot of work among the faculty, we determine the objectives of the course – 'what' to teach. But then the 'how' is up to me, and I like that. Depending on the class and other factors, we can do a lot of different things. And we do.

The FMS training program is available for 6 academic credits (letter grade). The FMS field program is also available for 6 credits (letter grade).
It is the participant's responsibility to verify whether the credit receiving institution accepts these graduate course credits from the Monterey Institute of International Studies. Matriculating full-time Monterey Institute students can audit up to 4 academic credits per semester with approval of the instructor. Completion of the 5-unit training course (for credit, as a partial audit, or as a professional artificer) is a pre-requisite for participation in the field experience fellowship program.
Participants seeking academic credits (and who are not enrolled full-time at the Monterey Institute when registering for FMS classes) will pay the standard tuition at $1,715 per unit, or $10,290 for the 5-unit training program (FY 14/15). The aforementioned scenario also includes current Monterey Institute students who are not enrolled full-time during the summer, fall, or spring semesters.
Students enrolled in a full-time semester credit load (12 units or more) at the Monterey Institute will be charged the comprehensive semester fee. Merit scholarships normally apply. Monterey Institute students should contact a financial aid advisor to review their specific situation.
In addition to gaining professional experience on the ground, fellows can earn for 4 or 6 credits while performing academic research on a topic of their choice.
Generally, the Frontier Market Scouts field course (4 or 6 units) is only taken by fellows enrolled in a graduate degree program at the Monterey Institute.
Options "A" and B" require students to analyze the basic implicit research question, "What are the factors that lead to a successful venture?" Option "C" allows a student to develop a customized project that is approved by an FMS faculty member. Option "D" is for MPA students planning to complete their capstone while on an FMS field experience fellowship.
A.) Individual-Level: Students will examine the way interviewees express their self-identity by the references they make to past, present, and future actions in a a way that enables an understanding of the implicit dimension of their story. First, students will conduct a literature review that includes both materials relating to the method as well as to the substance. They will then conduct life story interviews with entrepreneurs using an interview protocol that is designed by the student and approved by the professor. Instructor: Dr. Frederic Kropp, MBA Program Chair, Graduate School of International Policy and Management, Monterey Institute
B.) Business Firm-Level: Students will answer the key research question, "What is the best business model and process of business modeling that can lead to success, given the nature of a venture and its environment?" Students will observe, probe, and describe the various parts of the business model as well as its possible configurations, and the strategic logics underlying a particular part or configuration. Students will document and analyze the enterprise business model process as it evolves (often very quickly). After completion of a literature review, students will develop a framework for describing a typical business model design and change process. Instructor: Dr. Yuwei Shi, Dean, Graduate School of International Policy and Management at the Monterey Institute
C.) Customized Project: Contact Dr. Yuwei Shi or Dr. Fredric Kropp for more information.
D.) MPA Capstone: MPA students participating in the Frontier Market Scouts field program can complete an organizational case study as their capstone project. Students should register for the MPA capstone course during the spring or summer semester in conjunction with their FMS field experience fellowship and the MPA capstone advisor in the semester of enrollment.

Falcons head coach Mike Smith passed on a chance to question Raheem Morris' declaration that the Buccaneers are the best team in the NFC when he was asked about it at his press conference Monday.
While Atlanta almost collapsed vs. Cincinnati on Sunday — it blew a 21-point lead before coming back to win 39-32 — Atlanta (5-2), not Tampa Bay (4-2), holds the best record in the NFC and has a bye in Week Eight. The Falcons will host the Bucs in Week Nine.
Smith did say he and his staff will spend the next couple of days critiquing the Falcons' performance through seven games.
"My biggest thing is that we want to see improvement each and every week," Smith said. "Some games we've taken steps backwards in some areas, but the bye week gives us an opportunity to evaluate what we need to get better at. Some of it's obvious and some of it may not be as obvious.
"But over the next 48 hours as a coaching staff we're going to spend a lot of time self-scouting everything that we do and get an opportunity to work on that on Wednesday and Thursday (at practice)."
The PFW spin
One of the things Smith and his staff will likely assess is how they are defending the pass. The Falcons rank 28th in pass defense and are allowing 260.3 yards per game through the air.
After showing signs of improvement in that area earlier this season — the Falcons held teams to 211 passing yards or fewer in three of their first four games — they have been torched by quarterbacks in back-to-back contests. Bengals QB Carson Palmer completed 36-of-50 passes for 412 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Week Seven, and Eagles QB Kevin Kolb lit them up for 326 yards passing and three TDs one week earlier.
Part of the problem could be that key defenders have been sidelined by injuries. Atlanta was playing without its top cornerback, Dunta Robinson, who is recovering from a concussion, on Sunday, and OLB Sean Weatherspoon (knee) has missed the last two games. FS Thomas DeCoud left Sunday's game with 3:17 left in the first quarter with a head injury.
Smith said Robinson has been cleared to practice, but it sounds as though he has yet to be cleared to play in a game by an independent neurologist.
The bye week comes at a good time for those three players, and Atlanta has to hope their return — all could play in Week Nine — will help patch some of the holes that have appeared in defending the pass.

Top Three Wins from Accelerated Digital Business
In this business brief, we explore three top wins from becoming a digital business: improved customer experiences, efficient business processes, and new business models.
APIs: The New Marketing Platform
APIs power all digital marketing channels and the apps we use today. They're how businesses exchange data with partners and participate in digital ecosystems. APIs are a window on your company's digital assets, exposing them so developers and partners can build mobile apps and become part of your innovation engine. They're the business technology that brings the CIO and the CMO together.
Lessons from the App Masters
This research report, which is based upon an online survey of 800 IT decision makers at large companies across the globe, the Apigee Institute reveals patterns for success with a key digital business capability: building and deploying apps.
Ten Critical Considerations for Retail Digital Acceleration
This business brief offers ten considerations that will help businesses understand the challenges and opportunities that retail enterprises face when adopting and operating digital business platforms.
Beyond ESB Architecture with APIs
Powering interactions via apps requires a new architecture. Companies today seek to leverage the latest forms of mobile and rich-client engagement to build new experiences. In recent years, apps have transformed from the means of content access and data entry to being the primary channels of interaction between a company and its customers and employees.
APIs for Dummies
Application programming interfaces (APIs) are the foundation on which the digital economy is built. This ebook demystifies APIs, going beyond the acronym to help you understand their strategic significance, as well as providing insight into how they can help your business. Learn to use APIs as the foundation for your digital business platform, meet rising customer expectations across multiple channelsand spur innovation, both internally and externally.
APIs and IT Rationalization
These days, technology leaders are asked to do more and move faster. But they usually aren't given any more budget to meet the demands of a fast evolving, agile, responsive enterprise. Winning in today's environment requires more intelligent ways to achieve our goals; this, in turn, requires finding ways to remove unnecessary spend from our budgets, and freeing more dollars for innovation.
APIs are Different than Integration
Many developers and architects see APIs as an evolution and continuation of the integration-based architectures that have long been in use within enterprise IT. However, this is a limited view that misses the larger realization that APIs have become a foundational technology for the development of robust and scalable enterprise applications.
Web API Design
Application developers are the customers of a Web API. Success is measured by how quickly app developers enjoy success using your API in their applications, and rapid adoption of a Web API is all about design. This e-book will help you make design choices from the application developer's point of view so that the benefits of proven design principles and best practices will make your initiative a success.
Telco Innovation With APIs
Telecommunications companies are part of the most pervasive and critical infrastructures in every country on earth. They cater to millions of customers, and worldwide they generate approximately $1.5 trillion in business revenue. Telecommunications and the Web are merging, and the potential of Telco apps and APIs has expanded dramatically. This e-book describes how telcos must make fundamental shifts in technology and business models if they are to remain competitive.
Securing the Digital Enterprise
With the explosive growth in API use in every sector, business unit leaders at enterprises that are undergoing digital transformations are calling upon their chief security officers to ensure the security of APIs. Security must be built into the APIs themselves. But that's not enough. Threat protection, identity services, infrastructure security, and compliance also must be top of mind. This eBook provides a framework to help CSOs consider API security.
OAuth: The Big Picture
OAuth has become standard practice for large social media APIs and it's becoming common across enterprise APIs. OAuth is good for your customers' security and experience making is critical if you want adoption on your API. This e-book will help you understand how OAuth fits with APIs and the emerging world of open platforms, its advantages and challenges, what role it can play for your products, and without having to know the fine details of the protocol.
Is Your API Naked?
A customer of ours once said it best: "...most open APIs start out as little more than raw, naked, features exposed to developers, and there is a big gap between a feature and a full-fledged service." This e-book is about the capabilities 'around the API' that might be needed to 'productize,' 'monetize,' or 'operationalize' an API-based service. This e-book will give you ammunition and questions to ponder in different areas where your API might need covering up.
Businesses are expanding their digital ecosystems into the app economy. As businesses interact with partners, developers, and internal resources through mobile, social, app experiences and APIs, the number of sources of useful data expands. Data is the currency of the digital ecosystem and enterprises are striving to make sense of the new world of big and broad data as their structured internal systems meet the ocean of unstructured and semi-structured data.
Governance, Risk, Compliance & APIs
By their nature, APIs are meant to enable transactional business activity without prior restraint, and they are major tools for innovation and experimentation. APIs save organizations money through reuse and consistency.This paper shows how GRC and APIs interact in today's enterprises. Furthermore, it shows that using an API management platform can streamline governance and compliance.
Digital Transformation
The focal point of computing power is shifting from the server room to the mobile device. This presents businesses with the opportunity and the imperative to develop new experiences that are specifically crafted for tablets or smartphones. We call it digital transformation. Wherever your business is on the path to digital transformation, this eBook outlines strategies you can follow and real steps you can take to prepare for the future.
Developers Hate Marketing
Developers hate marketing. But developers are your new channel partners. They carry your products or services to customers through apps. How to attract your channel partners is the real question today. This e-book describes how to face the challenge of drawing developers to your API and avoid the many common mistakes that companies make when designing their developer programs.
Are You Where Your Customers Are?
As the main venue of ecommerce moves from websites to mobile devices, retailers see apps as the new channels and means of conversations with partners and customers. If you own a digital or mobility program for retail, this eBook helps you meet the challenges of building a digitally enabled customer experience, digitizing business processes, and creating your own digital business model and roadmap.
APIs: A Strategy Guide
In April 2012, O'Reilly hosted a webinar by the authors of the O'Reilly book "APIs: A Strategy Guide." The book is an overview of API strategy for business executives. This webcast dives into both public and private API strategies. Courtesy of O'Reilly, a free chapter is posted here.
Apigee API Platform: Deployment Models
Today we are seeing an explosion of information consumption. Enterprises must reach a growing global audience that has moved beyond the browser to thousands of mobile and social apps on hundreds of connected devices. APIs power this new application and mobile driven economy, and you need an API platform that fits and evolves with your business model. This paper outlines the options for Apigee Enterprise deployment.
Apigee API Exchange
Companies across all industries - including telco, healthcare, financial services, and more - are striving to innovate and create digital ecosystems. At the same time, market fragmentation slows developer adoption and restricts participation in the app economy. Apigee API Exchange delivers API federation and simplifies the development of cross-enterprise APIs in any industry where fragmentation is an issue.
API: A Profit Interface
Extraordinary companies discern where remarkable opportunities exist to engage their audiences. Innovators can change themselves rapidly when new opportunities present themselves, but you don't have to change everything to leverage APIs to create new channels, customer experiences, distribution networks and profit streams. How can you turn an API into "A Profit Interface"?
API Management for the Software-Defined Network (SDN)
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a shift in network-based computing based on breaking existing physical boundaries on switches, routers, and controllers through well-defined APIs. This new era of networking innovation through software, driven by APIs and apps, is creating increasingly agile, flexible and robust networking configurations. API management becomes a critical component to build, manage and scale apps for the programmable datacenter.
API Façade Pattern
As the API and apps economy continues to evolve, a design problem arises for API designers when internal systems are too complex to expose directly to app developers. The goal of an API Facade Pattern is to make those internal systems accessible to app developers. This e-book examines the API Facade design pattern – what it is, why it's important, and the best practices for crafting one from the perspective of the app developer.
The Mobile Mandate for Retail
The rise of mobile isn't just changing e-commerce. Recent Apigee Institute research finds that customers not only want brick-and-mortar retailers to deliver key services via apps, they expect them to. And not only that, digitally focused retailers are demonstrating better market results across the board. The message for twenty-first century retailers, whether online or physical, is clear: to succeed, they need to add apps to their strategy.

Android, as we all know, is everywhere nowadays! Its on our smartphones, media players, netbooks, and tablets. But the problem is that these devices are overly priced and therefore not many people can enjoy the features of the amazing Operating System that is Android. The creators of the Pandaboard have had one goal since its beginning, to bring a fast platform with an affordable price point to the general public. This is where this project comes in. My team and I will try to bring Android 3.0 Honeycomb to the Pandaboard with a working multi-touch screen, drivers, and sensors. In turn our goal is to make a tablet with Android Honeycomb for as cheap as possible but to also use all the great hardware of the Pandaboard to it's full potential.

Off-Campus Housing:
I don't have any experience in off campus housing myself, and am not close to very many people who live off campus.
Campus Strictness:
Campus strictness is pretty lax. How well a dorm is run can be up to the resident assistants assigned to that dorm. Campus safety is not very committed to breaking up parties and such.
Receiving the initial aid when I was first accepted was not too troublesome. But in regards to outside scholarships and renewing them, it can an irksome process. The workers in the financial aid office can be rather unhelpful. If you try for additional aid from the school in a different form (work study, merit based), they can be very unaccommodating. In particular, finding an on-campus job that is open to people not eligible for work study is difficult. It's also a trying process for international students, as they are usually even more limited in their options. Some students try to earn extra money by finding jobs off campus, but it's only feasible if you have a car and it's not too far away, but jobs in town and surrounding area are not too common.
Health & Safety:
Campus safety is there when you call, but their presence is usually not overbearing. An encounter with them can be pleasant or unpleasant depending on which person you get when you call and/or which person they send to assist you. There have been several bias-related incidents on campus. There have also been many incidents of sexual assault/harassment on campus. Neither of these have been dealt with well by the administration or campus safety. If caught, the culprit usually receives a light punishment. For sexual assault, the most likely resource would be the feminist group on campus, Third Wave Resource Group, which provides a safe space for victims. But there aren't very many other safe spaces on campus, and the student body is not very sympathetic to victims either.Most students feel safe walking around campus at night. However, even after incidents, there have not been very many steps taken to up the security. There are very few surveillance cameras on campus, and lamppost lights don't always work.
Greek Life:
Many students on campus are involved in Greek life. Though not a requirement to be involved on campus, many do end up pledging to a Greek group eventually. None of the Greek groups on campus are affiliated with national chapters, nor do they have their own chapter houses, due to various circumstances. People in sororities/fraternities will tend to spend time with each other and form cliques. Some groups even have their own lunch tables in the dining hall. Non-Greeks may enjoy the pre-pledging parties, or they may not be involved with Greek life at all.
The only sport the general student populace really cares about is varsity football. But they're not - haven't been - that great - the team, that is. For years now. Only people who care about football/sports to begin with and the whole "Friday night lights" kind of thing follow the team. Which is a decent chunk of the student population. Administration is also fond of the football team. They recently re-turfed and added new lights to the (small) football stadium on campus. Athletic facilities are decent. The Small Sports Center is pretty old, but has an indoor track, basketball court and such other things that belong in a sports center. The renovation of the Commons included an exercise room, which many non-athlete students use. Much more accessible than the Sports Center due to its location.
Local Atmosphere:
A typical small town. Quaint. One Main Street with shops and restaurants lining its sides. There's a park nearby. Other than that, there's not much else to the "city". Every business in town is small and family owned. A good and bad thing, as pricing can be a bit higher than if it was at a chain store. It also means students may have to drive out of town if they need something that's not there. But Cedar Rapids and Iowa City are usually only a 30-45~ drive from campus.The locals are generally nice to students. The neighborhoods are a confusing hodgepodge of even more confusingly-named streets (e.g. First Street and First Avenue). Most students feel safe venturing around campus and town at night. Though there have been several bias-related incidents on campus, there have not been any crimes - that I know of - in town.
Students seem to either become very involved or very minimally involved. Many students will end up committing to one - or several - groups or activities and spend a lot of time with those particular groups and other people associated with said groups. As a result, student life can tend to be rather clique-y. There are also students who never become committed or active in any organizations. There aren't very many students who are an in-between. Because it's a residential college in a small town, activities (club events, parties, etc. ) are typically limited to on or near campus. Parties are a big part of student life, and drinking at parties is common and generally accepted. There is, however, no pressure to attend parties or drink; it is not a necessary part of student campus life. Both the administration and the general student body are not very helpful to students of color. That is not to say that they are deliberately unhelpful, but rather they have not done enough to help students of color and first generation students. There is a noticeable lack of understanding when it comes to meeting the needs of these students. Additionally, the hilly campus is very unaccommodating for students with disabilities, and the facilities are not very accessible, either.
Health & Safety:
I hear that the nurses are a joke and assume pregnancy for every female that walks into the door. Cornell has a great student organization called TWRG that addresses sexual assaults but I don't see the school take action for any reports. Over all, the student body doesn't think that sexual assaults on campus. Everytime the "Clothesline Project" is up, the school reacts with surprise.
I'm indifferent. These responses are biased and do not reflect the opinion of the Cornell student population.
Off-Campus Housing:
I live in a house. Its pretty affordable and very close to campus. Been living there for 2 years, coming back next year.
Greek Life:
There's some with bad reputations of hazing, sleeping around, being snobs and downright unpleasant. I'm indifferent because I am not part of it. I wouldn't want to join one either way. I don't desire that and I also don't feel inspired by any positive image that any sorority/fraternity displays (because there isn't any).
The Block plan is great! It prepares me to absorb a great amount of information in a short amount of time to create reports, essays, and presentations of high quality.
There's a lot of opportunities to immerse myself in the Ethnic Studies type of thinking. The professors in the department are supportive. My major is flexible enough to get support from professors from other departments so I am always with help.
There's a lot of different people of different backgrounds at Cornell. It doesn't feel that way because people merge into cliques and groups, making it difficult to interact with people different from yourself without a great amount of effort.
Guys & Girls:
Its a bubble whose dating scene I would NOT want to be part of. Ever. People know each other's business and the small school size makes it easier for STDs to spread. The Block plan also makes it difficult to be in a functional relationship.
Campus Housing:
Beautiful campus and great housing, except for one building which is getting renovated this summer. Everything is close to each other.
Off-Campus Dining:
Location of school is in a small town. The only thing available are local restaurants. Prices are ok, but food gets boring after 2 years. The college cafe doesn't stay open late and the cafeteria closes early too. Can't do much if one is studying late and going hungry.
Only two buildings on campus have elevators or rails. Beautiful campus. Could work on a few things.
They keep cutting scholarships. If I were admitted this year, I wouldn't have received a $500 scholarship filled in the gap needed for me to attend. The school doesn't manage its money well and cuts back on us.
Greek Life:
About 30% of the student body participates in Greek life, which are strictly local groups with no national affiliation. There are no special housing opportunities for Greeks and non-Greeks do not usually view individuals by more than their individual characteristics, but sometimes when Greek groups are together non-Greeks apply the stereotype that is assigned that group.The social atmosphere is stimulated through Greek groups, and those in Greek groups have a community service requirement so you will often see members hosting or participating in some sort of service project as well as hosting parties and other activities for the campus to take part in.
Being a DIII school, athletics are definitely not the most important thing at Cornell. However, a very large population of the student body participates in a sport, some even two. A lot of student-athletes make a point to support other teams during their games and quite a few more attend games and show school spirit. Organized cheering and dressing up as a theme for games does not happen, but for the most part the school is supportive during games.Facilities such as the indoor track are becoming a little outdated, but the weight room is fine for the time being and the main gym where all games are held has newly redone floors, new lights, and a new sound system. Not to mention, Ash Park's football field was newly redone with turf in summer of 2013 and looks great. Our baseball field is very nice and is probably the best one in the Midwest Conference, but our softball field is located a little ways off campus, not very far but still a challenge to find if you don't know where you're going.
Cornell offers a unique One-Course-At-A-Time schedule that allows students to go in-depth in their class for the 3-and-a-half week period and pairing this with classes in your major makes for the ultimate learning experience. It leaves little time to forget any information and connections are made throughout the course through discussions and projects with lecture class periods being very rare. As an education major, the OCAAT schedule also gives me an advantage being able to student teach without being any conflict with other classes, go into classrooms for observation for an entire day, and go on field trips. Due to the condensed schedule, workload can become heavy, but professors are extremely easy to contact and encourage feedback on assignments to make sure your academic success can be realistically maintained. Cornell has a very old campus that is listed on the National Historic Registry so the faces of the buildings cannot be remodeled, but the insides of the buildings are nice and have excellent wireless internet, audio, video, and projection capabilities. It makes for a very beautiful yet academically up-to-date campus.There are countless internship and job opportunities for Cornell students during the school year as well as summer, and of course after graduation. There are work study jobs available in Admissions, at the Sports Center, in Dining Services, and countless others. There are even non-work study positions available on campus as well as off-campus at restaurants, bars, nursing homes, and babysitting. There are internships that can be applied for with help from the college and talking to a professor or an adviser will help you tremendously to find options that will fit your specific interests.
I have not had an internship but that does not mean I won't look into it in the future. Student teaching will be completed for my education degree but other than that I have not really explored my options for internships, but working with a non-profit organization that has a focus on education would be an excellent and realistic opportunity.

Written by Erin McNeill
One Course At A Time (OCAAT) pervades every aspect of the Cornell experience. From the academic schedule and athletics to involvement in organizations and the expected response time to e-mails, OCAAT becomes embedded in Cornell students' way of life. The block plan has a way of distorting time at Cornell. Many students find themselves marking time by the day or week of the block rather than by the actual dates. Though, from an academic standpoint, the block plan isn't for everyone, it does allow the flexibility necessary for learners of all types to be successful in the classroom. Additionally, OCAAT allows most students to at least pick up a minor, while many students double or even triple major. There are valuable internship opportunities around every corner, and several programs and centers focused on helping students thrive. Study abroad experiences are unparalleled and easily affordable, due to the shorter time frame. Why take a Spanish class on campus in Iowa when you can take it while living in Mexico for the month?
While the problem of student apathy tends to get a lot of lip service on campus, it is really only true in terms of school spirit for athletics. Cornell has over 100 student organizations—impressive for a school with a student body numbering less than 1,200, and a majority of these are very active and visible on campus. Recognizing that small-town Iowa may not have a lot to offer in terms of entertainment, Cornell works hard to bring entertainment to campus. The theatre department puts on four to five productions each year, and student organizations like the Performing Arts and Activities Council (PAAC) and KRNL-FM bring bands, comedians, and other performers to campus on a regular basis. Best of all, it's all free for students. Ultimately, the Cornell bubble can be a bit confining if you let it. But if you make an effort to enjoy your four years at Cornell, it will be more than worth it.

Assistant Managing Editor
Boone County —
Elected officials in Boone County will receive a 3 percent raise beginning this month, while county employees will see a 2 percent increase in pay and qualify for an additional 1 percent based on their performance.
It had been three years since county employees or elected officials had seen a salary increase.
"I'm glad we're looking at giving incentive pay" to employees, Councilman David Rodgers said. "That's how the business world works and it's how we need to be working."
The council split 4-3 on increasing salaries for elected officials, with yes votes from Butch Smith, Debby Shubert, Brent Wheat and Steve Jacob. That decision wasn't reached on the first vote, however.

Two men are being sought by police in connection with a shooting that left one man dead.
The shooting happened Wednesday night at 8:45 at the Forest Bluff Apartments on Beech Drive in Huntington.
West Virginia State Police have issued murder warrants for two men: Terry Morton (aka "Boots"), of Detroit, and Tyerus Hayes (aka "Tank"), of Georgia.
Originally, police were looking for three men that were involved in the fatal shooting of 25-year-old, Christopher Carter.
Police did arrest Jonathan Robert Yeager of Barboursville on drug charges.
Police tell us they were able to make that arrest based on information they gathered on Wednesday night, but Yeager is not charged with murder.
Police are asking the public to keep an eye out for the two cars that the two murder suspects might be driving: a silver 2001 Chevy Impala with a black cover on the front, and a light colored 90s-model Mercury Grand Marquis.
If you think you know the whereabouts of "Boots" and "Tank," or have seen the cars, call police immediately.

Pink with polka dots. Lavender. American flag-striped. These are just a few of the colors that have emerged from former President George H.W. Bush's surely-brimming sock drawer over the past few months.
"I like a colorful sock. I'm a sock man," the 41st president admitted to the Today show last year. Knowing what we know now, dare we say he was understating his appreciation? Bush now uses a wheelchair at public appearances, so it's practically a given that cameras are trained as much on his feet as they are on his face.
(PHOTOS: George H.W. Bush Has the Best Socks)
Indeed he's made no secret of his love for socks. (Nor have we.) But because he can only show off two at any given time, his George Bush Presidential Library Foundation is giving him a hand (err, a foot?) for his 89th birthday. The College Station, Tex.-based organization has afforded their namesake a celebration as colorful as his daily footwear choices – by asking the American public to don "exuberant socks" and post their photos on social media. And yes, that's something of a political order.
So it's no shock that today's festive celebration has caught the eye of many prominent politicos.

And Bush himself, the famed connoisseur of colorful hosiery, is certainly reveling in today's foot-focused frenzy. By our count he's been photographed twice so far, donning three separate styles of sock.
He started off the day with a classic yellow-and-red argyle sock that clashed with the blue-and-mustard polka dot pattern on his other foot (it's his birthday – he can mismatch if he wants to).
Happiest of birthdays to my dear Gampy. Mila's little feet on Gamp's colorful socks..sweet socks to fill. #41s89th http://t.co/25DX8FOqD9—

But because he even couldn't leave the house with such a shocking footwear choice, he instead donned a pair worthy of his legendary status (or perhaps it was a well-timed advertisement given this weekend's big box-office opening?)

Jennifer Epstein (@jeneps) June 12, 2013
Regardless, we expect George H.W. Bush to soar to untold heights with his sock collection. And the Bush Foundation is collecting all of the photos on their Flickr page. So in honor of his birthday today, we have a patriotic duty to show a little leg and show off our socks.
Keep those birthday greetings (and amazing socks) coming! #41s89th http://t.co/PmZNT6Zsr5—

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
NRA Unleashes The Hounds As Gun Control Fight Gets Real
Early reports on Obama's plans suggest the White House is more than willing to take on the NRA and other groups from the powerful gun lobby. Obama has reiterated his support for an assault weapons ban, and Vice President Biden -- who led the White House gun violence task force -- has suggested a ban on high-capacity magazines will also be on the administration's agenda. The main focus is expected to be a push for universal background checks on firearms purchases.
All of which are basically unacceptable to the NRA, as the group's leaders have said many times since Obama made clear he wanted to talk about gun violence after Newtown. But the NRA has also sounded a congenial note, expressing disappointment with Obama's task force but suggesting there are areas -- like mental health -- where the White House and gun rights community could connect.
That tone came to an end Tuesday, and the NRA essentially declared war on the president. The group released a a tough TV ad that calls Obama an "elitist hypocrite" for having daughters with armed guards while he expresses skepticism at the NRA's call for armed police in every American public school.
As if to drive home the message of the spot, the NRA debuted it as part of its "Stand And Fight" campaign. The White House declined to comment on the NRA ad.
Meanwhile, Politico reported Tuesday that the NRA is releasing its DC lobbying brigade onto Capitol Hill after keeping them "on lockdown in the first month after the Newtown massacre."
Gun rights proponents have been fired up ever since Biden's task force started up. And conservatives on Capitol Hill have already dialed the rhetoric up to 11 when it comes to Obama, suggesting Obama could be impeached if he makes good on his promise to use executive orders to further his violence prevention goals. But the NRA's full-scale reemergence onto the scene signaled a new chapter in the post-Newtown political story, one likely to be full of personal attacks like the one in the NRA TV spot.
For their part, gun control proponents -- who point to polling showing broad support for gun control measures like background checks, even among gun owners -- say the NRA's vitriol will only serve to weaken the opponents of new gun regulations.
"At some point the NRA's Washington lobbyists may realize that this kind of thing is making them irrelevant," Mark Glaze, director of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, told TPM on Tuesday night. "It does nothing but offend the reasonable people who make up the bulk of their country - and the bulk of their own membership."
As for the NRA's ad, Glaze dismissed the spot's central message.
"I'm guessing Sasha and Malia would be delighted not to have security," he said, "but their dad happens to be president."

Spy Run neighbors as well as some drivers pitched in to clear a busy street this afternoon when two lanes of Spy Run were blocked by branches blown down during a brief storm at 4:20PM. A storm that lasted less than ten minutes took down more of the trees already nearly destroyed four weeks ago (almost to the hour), and left their branches blocking rush hour traffic today. Neighbors from both sides of the street as well as a few drivers came to the rescue. Bravo!

GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) -- Scottish champion Rangers says the club intends to go into administration, placing the future of the country's most successful team in jeopardy.
The Glasgow team, which has won the Scottish title a national-record 54 times, has lodged legal papers with an Edinburgh court indicating it wants to be taken over by administrators to avoid liquidation because of its grave financial problems.
Rangers is awaiting the verdict from a tribunal with Britain's tax authorities that could leave the club with an estimated tax bill of 49 million pounds ($77 million).
By going into administration, Rangers will automatically be deducted 10 points. The team is currently four points behind Celtic in the Scottish Premier League table.

In case you missed the action last night Bloody Elbow has the full fight video highlights from last night's Junior Featherweight title unification bout between Guillermo Rigondeaux and Nonito Donaire.
Here's how our own Fraser Coffeen described the action:
Nonito Donaire may have been the favorite heading into this fight, but from early on, it was clear that that wasn't going to be how the fight played out. Over the vast majority of 12 rounds, Guillermo Rigondeaux used technique to outbox Donaire, taking him apart en route to a unanimous decision win. We also knew that Rigondeaux was a fine technical boxer - what was a surprise here was just how technically superior he was to Donaire. All fight, he used brilliant footwork, timing, and movement to connect his own shots and escape anything Donaire came back with.

Fears for teachers jobs amid school closure threat
6:00am Monday 21st January 2013 in News By Andy Walker, Chief Reporter (Darlington)
TEACHERS at a fee-paying preparatory school facing closure are not guaranteed a job at the 'parent' school it is affiliated to, The Northern Echo has learnt.
It was revealed earlier this month that governors of Yarm at Raventhorpe School, in Darlington, had launched a consultation with parents over plans to close the school at the end of the academic year.
The Northern Echo understands the plans are financially motivated, as Raventhorpe has just 80 pupils and needs at least 105 to make it financially viable.
In 2006, the governors of Yarm School, an educational charity, stepped in to help Raventhorpe when it got into difficulty.
Pupils from Raventhorpe are being offered a place in the prep school at Yarm, but the same cast-iron guarantee is not being offered to Raventhorpe's 18 teachers and support staff.
A spokeswoman for Yarm School said staff at Raventhorpe would be offered alternative employment at Yarm "where possible" if the closure goes ahead.
Parents of pupils at Raventhorpe held a meeting with Yarm headteacher David Dunn and two school governors last Monday evening.
Free transport between Darlington and Yarm, for children aged seven and over, will be available for the first year.
However, it is understood there won't be an adult chaperone on the bus, something which is a concern to many parents.
The meeting was told that a decision to close Raventhorpe, subject to consultation, was taken in December but parents were not told until earlier this month so as not to ruin Christmas.
It was also revealed that a widely advertised open day held before Christmas was attended by just two families.
One parent, who asked not to be named, said: "There are no other proposals on the table. The only one is closure.
"Parents and children are absolutely devastated because the school is something special, it is like a real family and sadly that is what will be lost.
"All the children feel it, it is a special place for them. Everyone is just really upset because we never saw it coming."
A spokeswoman for Yarm School added: "Everyone at the school is very sad at the thought that it may close, but if the proposal goes ahead, we hope that pupils will join the prep school at Yarm where they are guaranteed a warm welcome."

Sadly private education is a luxury that can be done without.

Those pupils who do not want to participate, or are deliberately disruptive should also be dealt with honestly and fairly, but they must be dealt with.

Redskins CB Carlos Rogers might miss Sunday's game against the Titans, and an assignment to cover WR Randy Moss.
Redskins-Bears matchup of the day: Saturday
While Washington's defense has great talents in it like CB DeAngelo Hall and S LaRon Landry, it's allowing 298.2 yards passing per game, which ranks second-to-last in the league.
Redskins CB Rogers not ducking hands question
The lasting image of the Redskins' loss to the Colts in Week Six was the team's dropped interceptions, two by CB Carlos Rogers.
Redskins' defense missed opportunities against Colts
The Redskins can point directly to (at least) two missed interceptions, along with a few other defensive missteps, as the reason they could not beat the Colts.
‹‹ previous 1 2 next ››
Rogers says he re-signed with the San Francisco 49ers this month on a $31.3 million, four-year contract because he appreciates the team's effort to keep the NFC West champions' talented defense intact for another run at a Super Bowl this year.||||||| Rogers, who shared the team lead with six interceptions, insists he knew in Week 4 or 5 last season that he wanted to return on a long-term deal - and now he hopes to use the momentum gained from his big season to carry him in 2012. With Rogers back, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio has all 11 starters returning on a unit that ranked No. 1 in the NFL in stopping the run.
The San Francisco 49ers have signed free agent cornerback Carlos Rogers and safety Madieu Williams to one-year contracts.||||||| Rogers spent the past six seasons in Washington and had 43 tackles and two interceptions in 2010. The ninth player taken overall in the 2005 draft, the 30-year-old Rogers is likely to replace Nate Clements, who was released by the 49ers in a cost-cutting move last week.
Rogers said Thursday his right hamstring is still sore after hurting it in Monday night's 59-28 loss to Philadelphia.||||||| Rogers didn't sound optimistic about his chances of taking the field against the Titans on Sunday.
The Washington Redskins placed cornerback Carlos Rogers on injured reserve Tuesday and promoted cornerback John Eubanks from the practice squad.||||||| Rogers tore two ligaments in his right knee in the first quarter of Sunday's loss to the New England Patriots. He will have reconstructive surgery later this month. Washington has promoted cornerback John Eubanks from the practice squad.
Rogers is hoping to do better than his paltry total of one interception last season. He displayed hands of stone on several other chances.||||||| "I could have had 10 more myself, just by catching the ball," Rogers said. "It was just concentration. It's not thinking about taking the ball and scoring, just catching the ball first and running." It's unlikely that Rogers will play better, however, in 2007.
