Stop War On Iraq
I think, as many of you out there do in USA/UK and other countries around the world, that going to war with Iraq will have terrible consequences on all the countries on the planet. All George Bush wants is to get his hands on the oil and all Tony Blair wants is to keep Bush happy and, being from the U.K, i think that is a pitiful reason to go to war with Iraq so please register here...but don\'t stop here: make your own petitions, write letters to your local parliament, get as many people as possible to help the cause!!! Thanks You.

The 2012 NFL Draft is still months away, but already speculation is flying with each bowl game that concludes, as more and more NCAA players announce their intent to go pro in the coming year.
One player to keep an eye on is Mark Barron of the Alabama Crimson Tide. The strong safety had a great senior year, making the 2011 Preseason All-SEC list on the First Team and being a Consensus 2011 All-American. He had 66 tackles, including 42 solo tackles and four tackles for loss.
Mocking the Draft has Barron listed as their No. 26 overall ranked pick and the top-ranked strong safety in the 2012 draft. If that holds true to form, that means he would be selected by the Houston Texans, who own the No. 26 selection in the draft. The Texans could certainly use assistance on their defense next year. At any rate, Barron is an attractive option for any team that needs depth at his position and figures to be selected early in the second round, at the latest.
For all updates regarding Mark Barron and where he will end up, stay tuned to this StoryStream. For all news and information regarding the Alabama Crimson Tide, please visit Roll 'Bama Roll.

Senior prosecutor Hay resigns ODPP
KINGSTON, Jamaica —Senior Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Caroline Hay who tended her resignation this week told the Jamaica Observer that the decision was tough but it was the right time to make the move.
"It was a very difficult decision to make but I think it's the right time. I wish the office all the best for the future, particularly Ms Llewellyn," Hay said. Paula Llewellyn is the Director of Public Prosecution.
Hay added that her time at the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions was "fruitful".
"My time there was excellent. I have developed professionally far beyond what I thought I would have," Hay said.
Hay's resignation takes effect on January 31 next year and she will be joining a local law firm doing commercial litigation she told the Observer.
Hay, who is a well-respected prosecutor, was recently involved in the Trafigura hearing in the Supreme Court.
In that matter Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller, members of her Cabinet and the People's National Party challenged the constitutionality of a court decision that they answer in court questions posed by Dutch authorities in relation to their probe into bribery allegations against the oil trading firm Trafigura Beheer.
Hay joined the ODPP's Financial Crimes Unit in 2001 doing anti-money laundering work. When the unit (now the Financial Investigation Division) moved to the Finance Ministry in 2003, she stayed on at the DPP's office as a Crown Counsel.
She quickly moved up the ranks and into her current position. She heads the office's Mutual Legal Assistance and Financial Crimes Unit where she supervises 15 Crown Counsels and a para legal.
Hay graduated from law school in 1994 and worked for one year at Myers, Fletcher and Gordon. She went into private practice before joining the ODPP.

Rick Perry and secession
By Bill Adair
Published on Friday, August 19th, 2011 at 12:31 p.m.
It didn't take long after Texas Gov. Rick Perry announced that he was running for president for Democrats to rekindle a favorite talking point: Perry, they say, wanted Texas to secede from the union.
But what did the Republican governor really say? PolitiFact Texas first explored that question during the 2010 campaign.
Houston Mayor Bill White, the Democratic nominee who ran against Perry, said his opponent "threatens to secede." We rated that False.
Perry, in explaining his remarks, claimed that he said there was "absolutely no reason to secede." That earned a Mostly True.
This week, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Perry "wanted to secede from the union." We rated that False.
See Truth=O-Meter items.
Researchers: W. Gardner Selby
Names in this article: Jay Carney, Rick Perry, Bill White

If I Had a Hammer tells the story of Habitat for young readers.
In author David Rubel's new book, If Had a Hammer: Building Homes and Hope with Habitat for Humanity, the stories of Habitat come to life for middle schoolers. Readers ages 9-12 can learn about Habitat's mission and work through specially tailored stories and observations from homeowners, staff and volunteers—including former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, who wrote the book's foreword.
If I Had a Hammer is available at www.habitatstoreonline.com.
View a short video of author David Rubel talking about "If I Had a Hammer."
"If I Had a Hammer is an excellent introduction to the world of Habitat," says Desiree Adaway, the organization's senior director of volunteer mobilization. "The book really brings home the value of service and citizen engagement. Youth volunteers can make a difference, and with its photographs and relatable stories, "If I Had a Hammer" helps show them how."
The book's chapters range from the how-to—exploring Habitat home design and construction around the world—to the why—sharing the need for affordable housing and the rewards of getting involved with Habitat.
An excerpt:
Amber was so embarrassed by the poor condition of her house that it kept her from making friends.
"The house was a daily reminder of how little we actually had," she explains. When the place where you put everything you have, where you spend your life, is in such bad condition, then of course it's going to cause you to have self esteem issues. I think that as kids we all tried to act as though nothing was wrong.
Other kids would talk about their houses, and I'd say, 'Yeah, yeah, me, too.' But when it came time to sleep over or something, I'd have to say, 'Oh, no, let's not do it at my house.' I didn't want anybody seeing that house. Even though in some ways I thought it was normal, I knew deep down that it wasn't something to show off or be proud of. What I really thought was, 'Why would someone want to be friends with a person who doesn't have anything?'"
Often when her grandparents were away, Amber would ask her mother for the key to their house so that she could go over there and "chill out for a while." She was comfortable there, she says, because her grandparents' house was much nicer than her own. Later, when Habitat for Humanity of Kanawha and Putnam County approved the Ferrell's for a new home, the decision was made to tear down the old house and build a new one on the same land, which Amber's grandparents donated to Habitat. "When Habitat knocked that house down, it was a great day," Amber laughs.
It took about nine months to build the Ferrell's new house. During much of that time, Amber's family lived next door with her grandparents. According to Tina Rhodes, it was a familiar sight to see the faces of Amber, Pam, and Jeremy pressed up against the glass of their grandparents' windows, watching closely as their new house took shape.
The Ferrell's finally moved in just as Amber was finishing eighth grade. "There was definitely a change," she recalls. "I had a new sense of pride, I guess, to tell people about the house, invite them over, and not be ashamed of friends seeing where I lived."

MARIETTA -- Cobb County sheriff's officials say a Lithia Springs man is accused of posing as an attorney and even appearing in court on behalf of clients even though they say he doesn't have a license to practice law.
Authorities say that 51-year-old Glover Carl Lewis was arrested Saturday.
Cobb County sheriff's Col. Milton Beck said the investigation was prompted by complaints from people Lewis was supposed to represent. He's charged with theft by deception and two counts of unauthorized practice of law.
An arrest warrant states that he received $1,700 in cash as payment to represent a man in a shoplifting case before Cobb Superior Court Judge Adele Grubbs.
Lewis could not be reached Tuesday, and jail records do not indicate whether he has an attorney.

This is how I imagine Mrs. John James Preston to age. She steps gracefully off the stairs from her old apartment, and she is whisked away into a silent, discrete limosine.
Now THAT's style!
I love me some SJP.
I agree–that is style! And it makes me wish SATC were still on.
love her style! I wish they would make a SATC3!! I started watching the show and movies too late!

TUESDAY, Sept. 10 (HealthDay News) -- Antiretroviral drugs can provide a high level of protection against HIV for uninfected people in heterosexual couples in which the other partner has HIV, according to a new study.
The study included more than 1,100 HIV-uninfected people in Uganda who had a partner with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. The participants were given antiretroviral drugs and received counseling support throughout the study to help them adhere to their drug regimen.
The drug adherence rate was 97 percent to 99 percent in the study, which was published Sept. 10 in the journal PLoS Medicine.
After an average follow-up period of 11 months, just 14 of the participants became infected with HIV, according to a journal news release.
The findings provide further proof that strict adherence to what is called antiretroviral pre-exposure prophylaxis offers high levels of protection to uninfected people, said Jessica Haberer, of Harvard Medical School, and colleagues.
The researchers said several previous studies in various groups (such as men who have sex with men, or women at high risk for HIV) have shown that taking antiretroviral drugs provided uninfected people with varying levels of protection against HIV. One possible explanation for the range of findings is different levels of adherence to the antiretroviral drugs, the researchers said.
"Proper support and assessment of adherence will be critical for determining efficacy of [pre-exposure prophylaxis] outside of clinical trials," the study authors wrote. "This data will be important for guiding ethical decisions about resource allocation for both prevention and treatment of HIV."
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation funded the study.

Q: What is "Common Core State Standards"?
A: The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a state-led effort that established a single set of clear educational standards for kindergarten through 12th grade in English language arts and mathematics that was adopted by the state of Louisiana in 2010 and have already begun to go into effect in lower grades. The standards are designed to ensure that students graduating from high school are prepared to enter credit bearing entry courses in two or four year college programs or enter the workforce. The standards are clear and concise to ensure that parents, teachers, and students have a clear understanding of the expectations in reading, writing, speaking and listening, language and mathematics in school.

SHERMAN, TX--- Several Texoma churches are coming together to embrace the "ONE Church, Many Congregations" campaign. After eight years of preparation, the campaign finally launched last Sunday.
Today, several Texomans participated in the five week series. The movement unites churches on what they have in common, instead of focusing on their differences.
"Local churches here in the Texoma area are coming together to say yes we have differences but, our differences don't divide us," Sherman Bible Church Co-Lead Pastor Denny Henderson said.
Currently, over 30 churches have joined. All of the participating churches share the same core beliefs. For five Sundays members of these churches will come together to share the same messages, pray and support one another.

President John R. Broderick
Tuesday, August 23, 2011
President John R. Broderick delivered his State of the University address on August 23 to a crowd of 1,100 faculty, staff and students, as well as local business, community and political leaders, at ODU's Ted Constant Convocation Center.
Broderick talked with pride about the university's transformation into a state-of-the-art urban research institution with a vibrant campus life during his annual State of the University address. A full copy of the speech is listed below:
What began in 1930 as the Norfolk Division of The College of William and Mary has flourished and grown into one of the nation's leading metropolitan research universities in 2011.
As you arrived on campus today, you no doubt saw the physical evidence of that evolution in our modern campus, with its state-of-the-art academic and research buildings, championship-producing athletic facilities and lively campus life and entertainment areas.
But the heart and soul of that transformation lies within our 24,000-plus students, nationally recognized teaching faculty and forward-thinking researchers, who each and every day are pushing the frontiers of knowledge to create a better world.
Indeed, that better world starts right here at the university that boldly claims to be the Idea Fusion community.
I am pleased to report that Old Dominion was recently selected by The Chronicle of Higher Education to be one of the best colleges in the nation for which to work, specifically for our commitment to an environment where faculty and staff are included in decision-making and strategic planning.
The dedication, creative thinking and hard work of our faculty, staff and administrators are the keystone to this incredible institution. Therefore, I'd like to take a moment to publicly thank all of you for making Old Dominion a great place to work.
I cannot go further without also acknowledging the collaborative and collegial working relationship I enjoy with the Faculty Senate, which is ably led by Dr. Paul Champagne from the College of Business and Public Administration.
And nowhere has the collaborative work of the campus community been more apparent than in our SACS reaccreditation efforts. Thank you, Marty Sharpe and Sara Morris, from the College of Business, for your superb efforts in directing this all-encompassing task. Special thanks are also due to Mona Danner, from the College of Arts and Letters, and Worth Pickering for taking the lead in developing a Quality Enhancement Plan as part of the reaffirmation of accreditation process.
If our faculty and staff are the keystone in the ODU arch, then support and funding from the commonwealth of Virginia must be the pier, the foundation stone upon which it all rests.
I am grateful to Gov. Bob McDonnell and the members of the Virginia General Assembly for recognizing the importance of Old Dominion's role in this great commonwealth's future by allocating $12.6 million for our efforts toward access and affordability. I am equally appreciative of our philanthropic supporters, who over the past three years have donated nearly $34 million to this great institution. A special thanks to Vice President Alonzo Brandon and his staff for their hard work.
But now is not the time to rest on our laurels. Despite this show of support, ODU remains the lowest-funded institution in the state. This year, I will persist in voicing the extraordinary accomplishments of Old Dominion in every city and every venue where decisions are made and support is won.
This also will include an effort to connect with alumni and friends to generate key private funds.
As many of you know, I was selected by Gov. McDonnell to serve on his Commission on Higher Education Reform. One of the group's outcomes, "Preparing for the Top Jobs of the 21st Century," provides a unique opening for Old Dominion.
When we submitted our six-year plan, let me assure you that we stressed the need for a continuing commitment to fund the large in-state enrollment growth we have experienced over the last five years.
One example of where immediate help is needed was reported recently by local media. ODU has a greater need for more full-time faculty and support infrastructure than any other institution in the state.
We have provided everything the commonwealth has asked of us:
- Serve Virginians - ODU has enrolled more Virginians than any institution in the last five years;
- Partner with the community colleges - We accept the largest number of community college transfers of any institution with a statewide articulation agreement. And thanks to the leadership of Associate Vice President Andy Casiello, we have significantly expanded our existing partnership with VCCS;
- Produce STEM-related graduates - STEM, of course, refers to science, technology, engineering and math, and ODU has the second-highest percentage of graduates in this category; and
- Remain affordable - Old Dominion has the lowest tuition among the doctoral institutions.
We also pledged in our plan to strengthen our retention and graduation rates. Additionally, we proposed, if new funding is awarded:
- To increase our online offerings in conjunction with the community college system;
- To increase our commitment to STEM-related disciplines, including nursing;
- To expand programs like Project Lead the Way; and
- To further enhance our initiatives in bioelectrics, modeling and simulation, and the ODU Business Gateway.
Last, but not least, we included within our plan a request to provide our faculty and staff a modest salary increase.
All of what I just outlined squarely meets the fundamental objectives of the Higher Education Commission and the "Top Jobs" legislation.
While the governor has provided ODU a seat at the table in some key decision-making for higher education, my presidential colleagues from the Colonial Athletic Association did the same by appointing me the league representative to the NCAA for the next four years.
As a result, I represent the CAA among a select group of 40 college presidents from across the country in examining significant intercollegiate issues, such as financial sustainability, reinforcing integrity and academic success.
Clearly, our success on the courts and on the fields is well known. But did you know that four of our students were honored as the top academic performers in the CAA for their respective sports?
These students, gifted in both the academic and athletic arenas, are:
- Amanda Bieber, field hockey, a biological sciences major;
- Kristofer Hague, men's swimming and diving, an electrical engineering technology major;
- Trian Iliadis, men's basketball, a biochemistry major; and
- Phil McCarthy, baseball, an exercise science and pre-med major.
I also want to recognize Associate Professor of English Tim Seibles, who has agreed to serve as Old Dominion's NCAA faculty athletics representative. Tim is taking over for Professor of Psychology Janis Sanchez-Hucles, who held the position for two decades. Thank you both for your dedication and service to our student-athletes.
For more than 80 years, Old Dominion has proudly served Hampton Roads and the commonwealth of Virginia. This continues today with our strategic plan to invest in research and spur economic growth in areas where jobs can be retained or generated.
A good example is the work done at the Frank Reidy Research Center for Bioelectrics, which recently initiated collaborative studies with G.E. Global Research.
Last year's launch of the ODU Business Gateway was also designed to advance that goal and provide streamlined access to our intellectual capital, technology and infrastructure to solve problems, expand capabilities and create new ventures.
In one year, more than 100 businesses, nonprofits, entrepreneurs, military commands and others have been served by the ODU Business Gateway.
From helping a premier health care system achieve world-class performance, to assisting more than 300 military veterans as they grow their businesses, to educating 200 professionals in cutting-edge sustainability techniques, the ODU Business Gateway is making quite an impression.
Actually, a measured impact of nearly $200 million was reported by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
The Business Gateway's reach goes well beyond Hampton Roads. Creare Inc., a high-tech R&D firm located in New Hampshire, looked past some leading institutions in New England to tap into the resources here at Old Dominion to test and evaluate its latest aircraft arrestor design. As did French-owned AirBus, where an ODU aerospace engineering professor will deliver training in Toulouse in October.
The extraordinary success of the ODU Business Gateway triggered the creation this summer of the Innovation Foundation.
This new foundation represents:
- Increased opportunities for consulting engagements for our faculty;
- Easier access to the university for businesses; and
- Valuable internships and jobs for students.
Last year, I spoke to you about another new project to identify and address the multifaceted impact that rising sea levels have on our region. While many have argued about the actual cause of sea level rise, the fact is that the waters are rising.
Rebecca Costa, author of "The Watchman's Rattle," warns that "when beliefs dominate, knowledge takes a back seat, which causes education to be marginalized." Our need to study this critical issue is not a belief - scientific readings all over the region prove that it is both legitimate and factual.
ODU's Climate Change and Sea Level Rise Initiative kicked off last fall with a forum led by Navy oceanographer David Titley and continued throughout the year with research and educational efforts.
For example, faculty hosted a workshop to determine how to help cities tackle their infrastructure problems. Researchers are working with the Department of Defense to identify how climate change will affect its military facilities.
We recognize that dealing with rising sea levels is not just all science and engineering. In fact, that may be the easy part. How people respond to it and make decisions is more difficult. To better understand this important aspect of sea level rise, Old Dominion has four projects that look at everything from perceptions and attitudes to how to teach climate change concepts. This research is interdisciplinary, involving components of health sciences, business, education and even the arts.
Recognition is not the purpose of our efforts, but it is rewarding and affirming to know that others are taking note. National Public Radio has featured ODU's work in several news segments, and an op-ed piece by project leader Larry Atkinson, Slover Professor of Oceanography, appeared in newspapers across the country. And Assistant Professor Poornima Madhavan was elected as the first-ever psychologist to the prestigious Science and Technical Advisory Committee of the Chesapeake Bay Program.
While on the topic of recognition, biological sciences professor Mark Butler was selected as an Outstanding Faculty Award winner by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia. Mark is the 25th ODU professor to be honored with this award since 1991, more than any other Virginia institution except one.
I am proud to say that we have SCHEV Award winners in all six of our academic colleges, and I'd like to invite all of our SCHEV Award winners to please stand so that we can give them a round of applause for their dedication and inspiration in the classroom. I never miss an opportunity to tell prospective students and families that the very best teaching faculty are here on the ODU campus.
Whether in the College of Sciences studying ice melts in the Arctic Circle or the College of Health Sciences re-envisioning local and global health, our faculty members continue to push the limits of research and scholarship. In examining the issues around child hunger or the impact of human behaviors on the housing crisis, faculty are bringing their valuable research into the classroom, encouraging students to see the world in new and dynamic ways.
The leading goal of Old Dominion's strategic plan is to provide students with the tools to succeed. Clearly, the first step toward success happens in our classrooms.
But just as our students are well rounded and multidimensional, so, too, must be our approach to their success. Therefore, over the last year a committee worked to create an infrastructure to ensure student success. From this committee's noteworthy efforts, a new division of Student Engagement and Enrollment Services was formed under the leadership of a new vice president, Ellen Neufeldt.
From the point of first contact with prospective students through helping our graduates start rewarding careers in their first job, the new division will ensure a seamless support system. Most importantly, it will collaborate with partners in Academic Affairs as it enriches active learning and engagement that foster a climate of success.
Additionally, a student success advisory board, co-chaired by Provost Carol Simpson and Vice President Neufeldt, has been created to increase our retention and graduation rates. Many initiatives are already under way, such as a sophomore success program, enhanced advising and expanded tutoring programs.
One of the most significant physical resources for student success is the soon-to-open Student Success Center. Wrapped around Perry Library, it consolidates all the support services that students need to excel, including advising, tutoring, experiential learning and academic skills assessment.
At the front of the library, the unique Learning Commons brings together library resources, state-of-the-art technology and services to facilitate student learning. The flexible space is designed to foster informal, collaborative and creative work, and social interaction among students. Students can:
- Check out an iPad along with a library book;
- Polish their presentation skills in a sound studio; or
- Have a hearty debate while sipping a cup of coffee.
Greek philosopher and historian Plutarch noted, "A mind is a fire to be kindled." At ODU, we believe our professors are the tinder and our innovative learning environments are the spark, which allow student minds to burn brightly with the power of knowledge.
One shining example is a team of graduate accounting students from the College of Business and Public Administration, under the leadership of student Sara Crabtree, which bested more than 30 teams from around the country to win the Association of Government Accountants Case Challenge in July.
Another is Team Tidewater Virginia, led by our own John Whitelaw, an environmental engineering doctoral student in the Frank Batten College of Engineering and Technology. This group of Old Dominion and Hampton University students is one of only 20 teams worldwide selected to compete in the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar Decathlon. The prestigious event challenges students to design, build and operate the most affordable and energy-efficient solar-powered house.
The Team Tidewater house, called Unit 6 Unplugged, was constructed on the Old Dominion campus this summer and will be moved to our nation's capital for the competition beginning Sept. 23. Thousands of tourists, architects and engineers are expected to visit the house.
Students, of course, remain at the heart of our university. I am pleased to report that we continue to offer rigorous and challenging programs, while remaining accessible and affordable to thousands of students across the state. In fact, some 87 percent of our student body comes from Virginia and, as I noted earlier, our tuition remains among the lowest in the commonwealth.
We have a thriving partnership with the Virginia Community College System, particularly Tidewater and Thomas Nelson community colleges locally, and offer joint programming with Eastern Virginia Medical School, Norfolk State University and several other institutions.
In addition to providing students with an outstanding education, our aim is to be a solutions provider for the region and beyond, as we enhance the metropolitan area's reputation as a great place to live, learn and work.
Last fall, we launched Engage ODU, an endeavor that focuses student and faculty resources on the needs of the community.
Under those auspices, ODU's Social Science Research Center, housed in the College of Arts and Letters, polled local residents about "Life in Hampton Roads." It will also begin a comprehensive survey this fall on the region's so-called "creative class" - 25-to-35-year-olds who are educated and driven - to gauge their perceptions about the region and their motivations for staying or leaving. The goal is to entice more of our best and brightest to remain in Hampton Roads.
Drive along the southern boundary of the ODU campus and you'll see the beautiful townhouses of the 43rd Street Norfolk development emerging from what used to be a series of asphalt parking lots. This joint project of the city of Norfolk and ODU's Community Development Corporation features 51 homes that are being sold at prices that workforce families can afford.
The university has been selected to participate in the White House Interfaith and Community Service challenge. This campus-wide initiative combines our commitment to the community with a push to enhance the cultural skills of our students.
Old Dominion remains committed to serving those who serve our country. We were once again selected as one of the top 100 military-friendly universities in the country, and for good reason. Approximately 23 percent of our student body is military-affiliated and our sizable Army and Naval ROTC programs continue to win academic and tactical kudos.
Additionally, Old Dominion continues to serve as the primary academic partner of NATO's Atlantic Command Transformation.
Within the Darden College of Education, the TEAMS project aims to improve services to military-connected students in K-12. Locally, TEAMS was a key partner with Newport News Public Schools in obtaining a $2.5 million grant to provide assessment, professional development and student services.
This fall, ODU is co-hosting an international forum on religious engagement with the Washington-based Institute for Global Engagement. It will bring together civilian and military leaders to consider the implications of religious freedoms on U.S. foreign policy and global security.
Let me turn to the issue of safety and security on campus and in the communities surrounding it. While our campus crime statistics are on par with institutions throughout Virginia, several high-profile robberies, the senseless death of Christopher Cummings and the injuries sustained by Jake Carey and Sidney DeLoatch-Overton are unacceptable. Our priority continues to be making ODU a safe and supporting community for everyone.
Last January, I brought in national campus security consultant D. Stafford and Associates to evaluate our safety and security measures. The recommendations resulted in more than $2 million in additional enhancements, such as:
- More police officers;
- Video surveillance cameras;
- Lighting;
- Safety forums;
- And more.
However, as we know, the majority of the incidents happen off campus, where many of our students live. Addressing crime in the neighborhoods, where the university has less authority, takes a different approach and certainly more collaboration.
ODU Police and Norfolk Police have been working together to further enhance their joint policing efforts and perhaps you've already seen the fruits of this renewed commitment.
Norfolk has provided additional officers in marked vehicles, on bicycles and on foot patrol solely dedicated to the area surrounding the university. Together, the departments have fanned out across the neighborhoods to pursue a community-policing philosophy, talking with residents and establishing relationships.
Additionally, the departments will be offering training to both students and residents through the Citizens Police Academy.
I want to thank Mayor Paul Fraim, City Manager Marcus Jones and Chief of Police Sharon Chamberlin for their commitment to this collaborative effort.
A university-wide group of leaders, under the direction of Gwen Lee-Thomas, has been meeting throughout the summer to respond to my charge for a plan to enhance off-campus efforts as we head into a new academic year. As a result of their efforts, Old Dominion is implementing a number of measures.
We are expanding our existing safety task force to a broader-focused ODU community one. This group will look at areas of safety, education, literacy, economic stability and community stabilization.
Additionally, ODU will launch an initiative to engage local-area landlords to voluntarily complete a safety audit and support a checklist of community standards for their properties.
Next is a student-led initiative to instill a culture of pride and responsibility - both on-campus and off - among students, faculty and staff as Monarch Citizens.
Perhaps the most critical part of our success is Old Dominion's need to continually re-envision and revitalize our commitment to and our work in the communities directly surrounding the university. Any successful metropolitan university has strong ties with its neighbors. We are as enriched by the community's contributions as, we trust, the community is by the university's presence.
This fall, we will partner with the local community in a more robust and strategic manner to maximize and expand the current outreach efforts of Old Dominion faculty, staff and students.
To the academic colleges: As you continue to share your expertise and resources with the surrounding communities, I challenge you to continuously evaluate the impact that your work has in the local neighborhoods in a way that demonstrates our commitment as a metropolitan university and as a good neighbor.
Additionally, I am establishing a new position - chief operating officer - that will take responsibility for ensuring that the university implements a comprehensive coordination of strategies needed to help solve these issues across all vice presidential areas.
David Harnage, a former vice president at Old Dominion who possesses more than 30 years of experience in higher education settings, will assume direct responsibility for public safety.
He will support and move forward the efforts already set in motion by Vice President Bob Fenning and Police Chief George Votava. He'll also be responsible for managing and cultivating our strong relationship with the city of Norfolk.
A lot has been done to address safety concerns, but our work is not over. Safety is a continually evolving and changing issue and, as such, the university and all its partners must be vigilant and adaptive in our efforts. It is crucial that all stakeholders take an active role in efforts to make the greater ODU area the safest in which to live, learn and work.
Before closing, I would like to invite ODU mascot Big Blue to the stage. Big Blue won the National Mascot of the Year award from Capital One, defeating 15 other mascots, garnering more than 2 million votes and shattering all previous voting records in the process. I was with Big Blue at the Capital One Bowl on New Year's Day when we accepted the award on national TV, and believe me when I say Monarch Nation couldn't have been more proud.
Thank you, Big Blue, for being here today, and congratulations!
Big Blue's achievement is typical of ODU athletics, where champions are created every day, on the court and in the classroom. And it's also typical of the pride and determination that every member of the Old Dominion community possesses.
Longtime Notre Dame president Theodore Hesburgh said, "The essence of leadership is that you can't blow an uncertain trumpet."
I believe the notes we are playing at Old Dominion are abundantly clear to everyone.
The state of Old Dominion University is strong. Together, we are composing a masterpiece that makes our community, our nation and our world a better place for all.
Thank you.

METHUEN — A city councilor yesterday filed a public records request for city Solicitor Peter McQuillan's phone and email records to investigate possible interference in the selection of a new solicitor.
Councilor Thomas Ciulla filed the request at City Hall yesterday asking specifically for McQuillan's cell phone and office phone records, and his emails going back to Jan. 1. Ciulla said he has questions about McQuillan's knowledge of a solicitor candidate's reference rescinding his recommendation the day of the candidate's interview.
"I want to see how he knew that letter was retracted, to see if there's any paper trail," Ciulla said. "We didn't even know. There are too many unanswered questions. He had intimate knowledge."
On Monday, The Eagle-Tribune filed a similar public records request, seeking McQuillan's emails and cell and office phone records.
McQuillan sent a text message to the solicitor candidate, former Lawrence assistant city solicitor Richard D'Agostino, in the middle of the candidate's interview before the City Council March 26 questioning D'Agostino's comment that he did not know one of his references had rescinded his recommendation.
That has raised questions about whether McQuillan had contacted any of D'Agostino's references, a list that includes local attorneys and a former judge.
Phone messages left on Monday and Tuesday with D'Agostino's references seeking comment were not returned.
The City Council on Monday voted 5-4 against appointing D'Agostino, with members of the majority saying they felt the entire search process was flawed. They did not vote on the one other finalist, William Faraci. They unanimously voted to restart the search.
On Jan. 7, the council voted 5-4 against appointing McQuillan to another two-year term as city solicitor, citing his handling of several lawsuits against the city.

A police officer in North Brookfield was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison after he admitted to raping a 15-year-old girl.
Adam J. Kachadoorian, 44, pleaded guilty to charges of child rape, indecent assault and battery on a person 14 or older, and distribution of obscene matter and dissemination of matter harmful to a minor, according to the Worcester Telegram and Gazette.
The rape occurred on Oct. 13, 2011, at the teenage victim's Leicester home. Prosecutors also stated in court that Kachadoorian sent a photo of male genitalia to the girl's cell phone, sent her text messages to ask if she was going to tell her parents and, after being confronted, said the sex with the teen had been consensual.
In a victim's statement read by a prosecutor at the trial, the girl admitted "It took me awhile to get over the fact that it wasn't my fault. I was a minor and he was a grown man."
Kachadoorian's lawyer told the court that his client's behavior was "an aberration" and that he was "extremely remorseful for his conduct."
Kachadoorian will also be required to pay restitution for expenses incurred by the victim and her family in connection with the case, the article continued.

Why the death of the demo is very bad news for disabled gamers
There has been a decent amount of noise from the industry about the death of the demo, and some people even think that releasing a playable demo could hurt the sales of your game. There is one group that could be hurt more than others if demos become rare, however, and that's disabled gamers.
Joey Haban used to be a staff writer at AbleGamers.com, and is currently working on the development team on a game that he's helping to evaluate for accessibility. Haban sent me an e-mail to discuss some of the reasons gamers with differing abilities rely on demos.
To find out, sometimes you have to play
"There are probably as many ways to evaluate demos as there are gamers with disabilities," she said. "Things that don't faze me at all are required for someone else, and it can also vary from game to game. When I play a demo, I'm going to look for a few of the things in that genre that can make or break a game for me."
If you have problems hearing, you're paying attention to information that's only delivered via sounds. Most games allow you to turn on subtitles so you know what characters are saying, but what about game play hints that rely on some kind of noise to communicate information to the player? Color-blind gamers need to make sure the game doesn't require them to differentiate between the colors red and green.
This image from Ars Technica shows the problems a gamer with a certain form of colorblindness may have with games that feature color-matching mechanics.
The ability to use many different input mechanisms is key to the many gamers with motion impairments. "For one, the ability to use mouse, keyboard, or controller. Some people can use only one of those input devices; also, there are a number of controllers designed for physically disabled gamers so compatibility can be an issue," Haban explained.
"On a related note, remapping keys is a much-needed ability," she said.
"The more things that can be adjusted, such as mouse sensitivity or fight speed, the better," she continued. "It's not expected that every game will be able to address every disability, but customization is key in accessibility."
Being able to save at any point is important for gamers with cognitive issues or fatigue from chronic conditions. "A person can go from enjoying themselves to needing to drag their ass back to bed in, literally, under a minute," Haban told the Report. "The ability to save whenever you want is the ideal; frequent autosaves or checkpoints are almost as good."
The ability to adjust the difficulty of a game is also good; the idea of "normal" difficulty is based on the often mistaken assumption that the player has no other challenges when playing the game. It's hard to tell how easy the "easy" mode is for someone with different needs without playing it.
All these factors make it hard for developers to create games that everyone can play, although closed-captioning, a color-blind mode, and fully remappable controls go an incredibly long way to increasing a game's reach. The most important thing is to let gamers with different needs play the game to determine if it's something they'll enjoy.
"The ineffable 'feel' of the game is important," Haban said. "It can take as little as a minute or two to make a decision on that. I always check the options in any demo, to see what of the above is available, and whether anything missing is necessary to my enjoying the game. People with, say, the inability to use one hand are going to require a specific set of things to be able to play. These are the ways that disabled gamers benefit from demos."
Demos are more important than ever with stores cracking down on return policies, not to mention the complete inability to return games on services like Steam that are convenient for players who can't easily jump into the car and visit a local retailer. The more developers and publishers who allow their players to try the game before purchasing, the better for everyone.

Is Online Learning right for me?
Teaching an online learning course may be right for you if you are:
Types of Online Learning courses:
Internet Courses:
Generally, all teaching and learning takes place via the Internet. Students interact with the instructor and classmates through a course website (A Blackboard course site). Learning activities and assignments are completed according to the instructions and schedule posted by the instructor. Instructors have a variety of Online Learning Testing options based upon subject and course material.
Students taking Internet courses must have access to a computer with an Internet connection. Students must also be computer literate and be comfortable using software, email and performing other activities on the Internet. Some courses may require additional resources beyond the Minimum Technical Requirements made available to students. Instructor should make this information available to registering students and students are encouraged to inquire about what is needed before registering for courses.
Hybrid Courses:
Hybrid courses combine the traditional classroom instructor with online collaboration and learning. Students attend classes on campus as scheduled (60% minimum of stand class time plus final exam time and class breaks, if the class meeting exceeds 100 minutes at a time). The remaining course time is dedicated to self-directed and scheduled online learning activities.
Telecourses are a complete and integrated instructional system that typically includes DVDs, textbooks, study guides and other instructional materials.

One of the suspects in a Peoria home invasion was shot in the leg and was arrested after calling 911 for his injuries.
A couple was asleep in their home with their 5-year-old child when two men, ages 23 and 19, broke in armed with guns and allegedly assaulted the couple while demanding items in their home, according to Peoria police spokeswoman Amanda Jacinto.
The 28-year-old man living in the home was able to grab a gun from one of the suspects and shot him in the leg. Then the suspects ran out and drove off with a 26-year-old woman.
The couple flagged down a Peoria police officer just after 1 a.m. Thursday near 92nd Drive and Purdue Avenue.
The couple told police they had hung out with the two men a few times before.
One of the suspects called 911 for the gunshot injury, leading to their arrest.
Investigators are working to determine what led up to the home invasion and what happened inside the home.

Ole Miss is investigating alleged homophobic heckling by an audience that included about 20 football players during a school theater performance and will wait until the investigation is concluded before levying any possible punishments, head coach Hugh Freeze said on Twitter. Specifically, the school's Student Affairs office, though other entities are involved as well.
As the University gathers facts, we will not sacrifice accuracy for a rush to judgement. We want to know the truth as much as anybody.— Hugh Freeze (@CoachHughFreeze) October 4, 2013
The players were reportedly attending a showing of "The Laramie Project," a play based on the 1999 murder of openly gay Wyoming student Matthew Shepard who was killed due to his sexual orientation. The players allegedly yelled homophobic slurs at the performers and laughed during a funeral scene.
It was previously reported that Ole Miss was investigating the report with their Bias Intervention Response Team. An additional student who was at the play told Hugh Kellenberger that he did not hear any homophobic slurs at the performance. One of the players reportedly apologized to the cast, who said they did not believe the apology was sincere.

It definitely put a big smile on his face, and he was very excited to wear them during his recovery—Not to mention to our cabin, as they are an outdoors theme.

As students head back to school, it's natural for parents to worry about their child's safety. Now there are apps for parents to keep an eye on their children as well as their driving.
Eyewitness News has learned about two new apps for parents to consider. The first is Life 360, which will allow parents to know where their children are at all times.
"With the mapping program with GPS, not only can you locate where your children are, but it provides information on where the local police department is, where hospitals are, and it also has little links, where all the sex offenders are in your community," said internet safety expert Scott Driscoll.
The app also features a panic or emergency button.
"If you hit it, it sends an emergency alert to your parents," Driscoll said.
It also provides the location of the child, Driscoll said.
"The company will call your phone and say your son/daughter is in trouble, their coordinates, their location is this," Driscoll said.
Mom or dad can also easily communicate with the entire family.
"Life 360 also provides a family call, so if something happens, as the parent I can hit one button and everyone in the family gets a phone call or text immediately from me," Driscoll said.
Driscoll said another app, which is called MamaBear, could be helpful for high school-aged kids. The app allows the parents to set up how fast they want their teenager to drive.
"Any time they go over that, as a parent you'll get an alert, where the location was, and how fast they were going," Driscoll said. "You can also set up alerts on Facebook and Instagram for inappropriate messages or words being used."
The MamaBear can also track locations of people.
"They can check in when they arrive, when you get to the mall, check in, so they hit a button," Driscoll said. "Not only can they tell you where they are, I can with GPS confirm they're at the mall."
Parents can also set up alerts for restricted areas.
"If you find some place, liquor stores, or places you know kids are partying, parents say that's an area you're not allowed to go to," Driscoll said. "They can look at the coordinates in the MamaBear, if a child enters that area, the parents will get an alert stating your kid is there."
There is one thing Driscoll said both these apps are missing though.
"What I would like as a parent, if I put it on the child's phone I would want control over," Driscoll said. "If the app is deleted or if the app is not, if the child turns off their GPS we lose those services."
