I don't really know what else to say except thanks to everyone and to all the friends I made through my blog and in game. I am cancelling my subscription tonight again. This has not been the first time this has happened, but I don't honestly see us taking it back up at any point again.
This time feels more final to me.
I honestly don't have the time to play anymore, and my life only seems to get more busy as each week goes along.
I will still be around the internet though – you can find me on twitter @dragonray as I will likely delete my @azerothianlife twitter. You can also find me at Facebook – message me if you want to add me and I will send you the profile link. I will leave this blog here, so you can contact me via the methods available here.
There are some people – I am sure you know who you are – that mean the world to me and I appreciate everything you have done for me!
Good luck fighting the beasties guys!!! Have a great time in game and remember life is always more important than a virtual world.

Club competitions
National team competitions
23-25, 17-12, 22-23, 26-16
Keravnos Strovolou won their second straight game in Group B of the EuroChallenge, clinching an 88-76 victory at home over CSU Asesoft Ploiesti to improve to 2-1.
Keravnos were carried by Bobby Maze (23 points) and Antonio Crocker (20 points), who combined for 43 points, four rebounds, 10 assists and seven steals.
Lawrence Kinnard added 16 points and Panagiotis Trisokkas chipped in 11 points for the Cypriots, who have won both home games thus far.
Ploiesti dropped to 0-3 - with two road losses - despite 15 points from Vladimir Tica, while Virgil Stanescu had 13 points, Catalin Burlacu scored 11 and Darius Hargrove added 10.
Crocker scored the hosts' first eight points and had 10 as Keravnos led 16-11. Tica's three-ball started a 10-0 run as Ploiesti led 21-16. And the Romanians were still ahead 25-23 after one quarter.
The second period had seven lead changes and one tie as Keravnos went into the break up 40-37. The game continued to remain tight with Keravos' 53-48 lead the biggest of the third quarter.
Ploiesti tied the game at 56, 58 and 60, but Trisokkas' layup gave the hosts a 62-60 advantage after three quarters.
Kinnard scored six points in a 10-2 run early in the fourth quarter and the gap was still 74-65 with just more than two minutes to play. Maze and Crocker iced the game by making 10 of 12 free throws in the final 63 seconds.
Keravnos head coach Panayiotis Yiannaras:"Overall a very good and tough game. This was especially true in the first three quarters. Ploiesti managed to out-rebound us for most of the game but once we found solutions to this and improved our defence we were able to build a lead and win the match. Congratulations to Ploiesti and I wish them good luck in the future and in their domestic league."
Keravnos player Antonio Crocker:"Tough game against a very good team but it was important for us to win at home. They managed to control the rebounds early on but once we improved our defence and passing we made them do mistakes and won the game. Congratulations to my team for a solid performance, and our objective is to improve all the time."
Ploiesti head coach Vladimir Arnautovic:"Congratulations to Keravnos on the victory. It was a good game. We were better for three quarters but when your opponents score 26 points in the last quarter then that is just too much. We were ok with the rebounds and the zone we played which caused Keravnos a lot of trouble. However, we couldn't find solutions against Maze and Crocker and we made some serious mistakes in the last quarter which are unacceptable at this level and that is the reason we lost the game."
Ploiesti player Vladimir Tica:"We played good for the first three quarters but Keravnos improved their game, forced us to do mistakes and won the game. We surprised them early on but in the second half Keravnos improved and our mistakes cost us the game. We try to win every game and improve but tonight was not our night. We will keep on trying."

Support Home > Terrain Navigator > Technical Documents > Basics of Handheld Computers and GPS connectivity
Handheld GPSs, Palm and PocketPC - Explained.
The Beginning - Handheld GPS units
Until fairly recently, there was only one real choice for a handheld GPS. While they were made by different manufacturers, and came in different shapes and colors, they all basically did the same thing - give you a position, and allow you to plan where you would like to go (through a route) and mark where you have been (through marks and tracks). Most include some rudimentary map or other display to show the routes, marks, and tracks; with "better" maps available - some even in color. Fundamentally, however, these types of GPS units are limited by their memory and custom "firmware" (the operating system software embedded in the GPS that controls the display, etc.) Customization (beyond those features provided by the manufacturer) is basically out of the question on dedicated handheld GPS units.
The Next Step - Handheld Computers
As handheld computers (Palm, PocketPC) became more powerful, a new option became available. Since Palm and PocketPCs are real computers (with a relatively "open" operating system) anyone can write a software program that will run on those devices. Their displays tend to be bigger and brighter than those found on a handheld GPS, yet are about the same physical size. Because cabling between a handheld GPS (for position) and a handheld computer (for display) is tricky and very cumbersome, it was only a matter of time before various people started making GPS units that plug directly into (or otherwise attach themselves) to the various handheld computers. At first, getting the right GPS card/sleeve was tricky at best; fortunately, things are starting to settle down in this regard.
The natural progression of this technology would be a handheld GPS that is also a handheld computer (no external attachments, sleeves, etc.) Garmin has released this, its iQue. The iQue comes in two configurations: either as a Palm or PocketPC handheld device. However, it also has built into it a GPS receiver. This receiver is configured such that any Palm or PocketPC software product that can communicate with a GPS, can work on the iQue.
And the technology continues; there are cell phones that are also Palm Handheld devices that also have built-in GPS receivers. Again, the beauty of this design is that these devices can run any Palm-compatible software product - from mapping applications, to spreadsheets, to solitaire, to address books, to wireless web/email, to… (you get the point.)
Palm Powered vs. PocketPC
While these examples listed highlight the Palm handheld, there are similar offerings available (or in the works) for the Pocket PC handhelds. Like the early days of "ibm" vs. "mac", there is a good deal of competition there, and it is unclear which "system" will ultimately prevail. For now, both are enjoying equal success.
Windows Smartphone
A new platform for mobile devices has recently emerged. Windows Smartphone is like the PocketPC system, but it is optimized for use on a mobile phone. Because of its unique design, most PocketPC software does not operate on this new platform. However, as it gains popularity it is sure to rival PocketPC and Palm Powered devices.
Maptech's GPS Software for Handheld Computers
For almost 15 years, Maptech, inc., has made navigation software (and matching maps and charts) that run on various computer devices. Starting with big, clumsy DOS computers, our products will now (quite literally) run on your cell phone. (Who even HAD a cell phone 15 years ago?!) Presently, we have two software offerings. Instead of being a GPS unit in and of itself, it communicates with the GPS receiver that is attached to or built into the particular handheld device it is run on.
Pocket Navigator is a software product that runs on PocketPC and Windows Smartphone handhelds. It provides the basic functions of a handheld GPS unit's firmware, yet will read maps and charts from Maptech's various library of CDs. (sold separately.) Pocket Navigator includes a software desktop component that handles the conversion of Maptech's charts and maps into a format that can be displayed by the companion PocketPC software on the PocketPC device. This desktop software will also convert routes, tracks, and marks to and from the various "PC-based" software products that Maptech produces, such as Terrain Navigator and Offshore Navigator.
Note that there are no maps or charts included with Pocket Navigator. Instead, maps are purchased as part of Terrain Navigator and Terrain Navigator Pro; charts are purchased as part of Digital ChartKit regions and Marine Navigator, or downloaded from www.FreeBoatingCharts.com.
Pocket Contour is included with Offshore Navigator - which is currently sold as Chart Navigator (Std. Edition.) This product displays underwater 3-D charts on Pocket PC devices.
Maptech no longer offers navigation software compatible with Palm Powered handheld devices. However, should demand for software on this platform prove sufficient, we may be offering software compatible with this platform in the future.
As Maptech has evolved from clunky computers to sleek handheld devices in just over a decade, it truly boggles the mind to wonder what devices and applications will be available 10 years from now. However, whatever that platform may be, Maptech intends to be there, continuing to make navigation easier.

Got #18 at CV in three today. Hit a 25' putt on the road's edge to seal it...
My putter still doinks harder than yours!
So, if I'm not mistaken, Matt Kern's 46 today is now the official course record, correct?
(Also, if I am mistaken, I will edit this post.)
yep updated
Team Honey Badger Kern Was On Fire!!! Great Shooting Man...
The 2014 CVO - http://www.discgolfunited.com/disc-g.../tourn_id/1407
IQ course record has been broken in a tourney -14 with 2 extra holes -12 for the regular course hopefully it will get updated before its broken again. Allstar weekend James McCormick.
New record at Iroquois for the 18 hole layout would be Kern's 42 in the Derby City Classic.
Record at Vettiner should now be 45 - Paul Oman in the Louisville Classic, Eric G/Tyler Horne/Schick in CVO.

Six tennis players to watch in 2013

Kamiak's Sally Park returns a shot against Myint-zu Kyaw last season.

Everett's Kindall Gordon returns a shot during a match last season.
Kamiak, Jr.
Park, Kamiak's No. 1 singles player the past two seasons, is coming off back-to-back fourth-place finishes at the 4A state tournament.
Kamiak head coach Heidi Bloemker said that because of Park's work ethic, it's not surprising the young Knight burst on to the high school tennis scene.
"It wasn't a fluke, like she got a fantastic draw or anything. She worked hard to get there and had a good chance to place," Bloemker said. "We knew it wouldn't be an easy road but she certainly showed what she was made of."
The junior plays tennis year round and, along with Jenna Gilbert who went to state in doubles last year, leads a strong Kamiak team. Bloemker said that her No. 1 singles player is a big part of the team.
"She isn't just someone who plays No. 1 and then is done with the team. She's very much a part of the team," Bloemker said. "She's very involved. … She cares about the team and cares that everyone does well."
She also thinks Park has a strong desire to get past fourth place at this year's state tournament.
"I'm sure one of her goals is to better her placement at state," Bloemker said. "She's improved since last year, so she's certainly on the right track."
Christine Wolf and Elle Shaughnessy
Stanwood, Srs.
The top two singles players for Stanwood both worked hard this offseason. The duo has Stanwood head coach Trudy Abrams foreseeing an alternating battle all season for the Spartans' No. 1 singles slot.
"I think Christine will play No. 1 at times and Elle will for other matches," Abrams said. "They'll go back and forth."
Wolf played in the doubles district tournament last year, giving her the early advantage for Stanwood's No. 1 spot. But Abrams said Shaughnessy put a lot of work in during the offseason and comes into her senior year much improved, enough so to have her start the season as the Spartans' No. 1 singles player.
"It's the next level that they want to try to get to," Abrams said. "I know that both of them have that ambition to want to get there. Both of them work really hard in the offseason."
According to Abrams, the two play tennis very differently. "Christine's going to hit a lot of balls back to you. It's a little bit slower of pace," Abrams said. "Elle plays a little faster-pace game."
Abrams said that at the end of the season, the singles players might join forces for a fearsome doubles team. "They may come together toward the end of the season and do doubles," Abrams said.
Myint-Zu Kyaw
Edmonds-Woodway, So.
As a freshman, Kyaw finished fourth at the district tournament and was an alternate to the 4A state tournament. Edmonds-Woodway coach Dan Crist said it's early in the season, but he expects Kyaw to be a strong player again this season.
"I don't know who else has come in this year, but she's a strong player," Crist said. "Based on what happened last year she should be in the mix."
Kyaw is entering her second season as the Warriors' No. 1 singles player, a tall task that Crist said the young Kyaw has handled very well thus far.
"A lot of it depends on the player. She seems to handle it well," Crist said. "I've been on teams where there's been problems but there hasn't been here. I think it's tough sometimes. You're a younger kid and you're coming up. But I think she's been pretty good about it in general."
Crist said he hasn't discussed this year's state tournament with Kyaw yet, but knows she was a little disappointed she didn't make it there last year. He expects her to be very motivated to get to state this season.
"The potential was there last year," Crist said. "She missed by one match. She doesn't need to make a lot of changes, she was pretty close."
Nicole Bouche
Mountlake Terrace, So.
As a freshman last year, Bouche had a strong season playing singles. But come the postseason, Mountlake Terrace coach Alberto Ramirez decided to pair her with senior Gillian Braden-Armstrong and enter the duo as a doubles team.
"She was so young. I didn't want to throw her into the burner in the postseason," Ramirez said.
Bouche and Braden-Armstrong made Ramirez look like a genius, finishing fourth in the state doubles tournament.
Ramirez wasn't entirely surprised by the result. He said Bouche's maturity is one of her strongest attributes.
"She was only 14 last year when she was a freshman. Of course she was nervous (at state)," Ramirez said. "But she's a club player and her brother and sister played on the team before. She has played good competition in her family. But I was very amazed how mature she was mentally and tennis-wise. She played like she has been there forever. Great poise and maturity all-around."
Ramirez was the Hawks' junior varsity coach when Bouche's older brother was a senior, and coached her sister for three years on varsity. He's going to be sad when Bouche, the last child in the family, graduates in a few years.
"She's the last one in the family. I wish they had more," Ramirez said. "They're great kids and great players."
Kindall Gordon
Everett, Jr.
After finishing fifth in the 3A district tournament last year, the Seagulls' captain has Everett coach Tim Boyd excited for her junior campaign.
"She definitely has the potential to be one of the top kids this year," Boyd said. "It sets her up real well. I think last year really gave her that push to continue on. I know her goal this year is to do the best she can. … Her goal is working hard enough to get a state berth. It's going to be tough but I think it's well within her potential and capabilities to do that."
Gordon is working to improve on last year's finish, which Boyd thinks she'll be able to do -- even in a tough 3A classification.
"I know she's going to be competitive with the kids this year," Boyd said. "I think the goal she has, and we all have, is getting the opportunity to place well enough in conference and place at state. I think it's a very realistic goal for her."
Boyd is excited that Gordon is just a junior, which means he will have her at Everett for two more seasons.
"She's a good leader of the team. And we get her back next year," Boyd said. "That's sure nice."

He didn't and hasn't yet. As Mike Trudell said he isn't participating in Full court 5-on-5 action quite yet. They aren't going full bore yet either.
However Mike did tweet this:
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
This is still not technically full speed 5-on-5 for Howard, but it's full contact, as close as can be. He's running w/Nash, Kobe, MWP & Pau.
so..... Dwight is as close to being cleared without actually being cleared yet if that makes any sense. lolol

Houndmouth Biography & News
About Houndmouth
This band's really gone to the dogs (Created August 9, 2013)
Meet Houndmouth, the name derived from a neighbor's barking dog.
No, seriously.
This four-piece band featuring Katie Toupin, Matt Myers, Zak Appleby, and Shane Cody were having a late night recording session in hopes of eliminating the neighborhood's ambient sounds. Instead, sirens and car horns were replaced by dogs barking in the background. It was Shane who ultimately suggested the recordings needed to be scrapped because they "contained too much houndmouth." Just like that, the band was christened.
Formed in late 2011 in Southern Indiana, Houndmouth had just a four-song EP before releasing their first full-length album in 2013. Of course "From The Hills Below The City" showcases their folk-rock/American-y sound that also hits the very raw and real threshold the band strives to reach. From Katie's vocals on "Houston Train" to the country-gospel harmonies on "Krampus," the band is well on its way to becoming an established household name.
Houndmouth recently toured the globe with the likes of Grace Potter, Alabama Shakes, Drive-By Truckers and more. They also made their national television debut on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" and have confirmed a 30-date headlining U.S. fall tour, including dates with Jason Isbell and Court Yard Hounds. The trek includes two-night stands in New York City (November 15-16) and Chicago (November 22-23, as well as performances at Austin City Limits, the Newport Folk Festival, Lollapalooza, the Americana Music Festival, and more.
The awesome thing about Houndmouth? They all sing, whether its lead or harmony, and each of them take turns as frontman or woman. The cohesion of a youthful, excited group on stage has swelled crowds that will only continue to grow with this ambitious group of twentysomethings. You can take that to the bank, straight from the Houndmouth.

Everett group finding wisdom, growth in Kabbalah

Dan Bates / The Herald
Bonnie Campbell, of Everett (right), and Marlene Wilcox, of Seattle, are part of a small Kabbalah group that meets at Campbell's home once a week.
Now it's opening its doors to a new group interested in exploring Kabbalah.
Kabbalah isn't a religion, it's wisdom, said Bonnie Campbell, 70, who leads weekly Kabbalah meetings in her Everett apartment. "We need a spiritual life, a connection, something to really believe in," she said.
The philosophy has received national attention largely through the publicity surrounding its celebrity adherents, including Madonna, Roseanne Barr and Sandra Bernhard.
Campbell said that her interest has nothing to do with its rich and famous followers.
While interest in Kabbalah may have grown from its association with such well-known followers, "from my small circle it's negative," she said. "People say, 'I don't want to get involved with something involving a movie star.'"
Campbell said the thing that matters most to her is its meaning in her life. "It has worked wonders for me," she said.
In part, this philosophy calls attention to the personal pitfalls that can occur through an oversized ego. These include the thoughts, or inner voice, that, by turns, can encourage us to indulge in even the minor temptations of daily life, like eating a piece of cake, then criticize us for doing so.
"The whole idea is to diminish that ego, to squash it as much as you can," Campbell said. "It represents fear, our dark side."
Campbell said she received a workbook and other information from the online Kabbalah University to guide her studies.
"I believe they're trying to get you to get off the surface and get down deep to see what you really, really want and to look at how you've been behaving and treating other people," Campbell said.
"They do advocate strongly that we help other people in whatever way we can."
Karin Jones, of Arlington, said she began noticing changes in those following Kabbalah principles and decided she would try it, too.
She said she hoped that following the Kabbalah philosophy will help her be "the best person I can be having a positive effect on the world and others."
Although some contemporary Kabbalah followers say it has no direct ties to religion, historically there has been a Kabbalah tradition in Judaism that dates back centuries.
"It's a very complicated subject," said Martin Jaffee, an emeritus professor in comparative religion and Jewish Studies at the University of Washington.
Kabbalah was "pulled out of the nest" of Judaism, he said.
Its Jewish traditions date back to the 3rd century A.D., he said, with practices that included meditation and magical visions of the heavenly world by keeping the commandments.
Kabbalah is simply experiencing God's presence in the act of fulfilling the commandments," he said.
Rabbi Jessica Marshall of Everett's Temple Beth Or, said that the practices of modern Kabbalah may be loosely inspired, but is fairly removed from its Judaic roots.
Jewish Kabbalah practices involved different emanations of God that we're able to connect with as humans, Marshall said.
Part of this Kabbalah tradition is included in the temple's Friday evening Shabbat services, she said.
"This idea of unification with the divine or transcendent is something that almost everyone seeks in some way or the other," Marshall said.

Comments about Paula Young Judy Wig by Joan Collins:
I was very excited when taking it out of the box. It looks bouncy and curly. And it really is. But it does look like a wig more so then many of my others. It also tends to lay flat on top even when giving it a light tease. I do not wear this one that often because I feel I have to fuss with it too much!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She's even started to feel like she knows them. "Jess and Jason," she calls them. Their life—as she sees it—is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost. And then she sees something shocking. It's only a minute until the train moves on, but it's enough. Now everything's changed. Unable to keep it to herself, Rachel offers what she knows to the police, and becomes inextricably entwined in what happens next, as well as in the lives of everyone involved. Has she done more harm than good? Compulsively readable, The Girl on the Train is an emotionally immersive, Hitchcockian thriller and an electrifying debut.

Accuracy, Dependability and an Industry Leading Warranty - At a Lower Price!
"There are less expensive pulse oximeters out there but NONE are as accurate as the Nonin brand, period. I use the Nonin Pulse Oximeters in my medical practice exclusively and wouldn't even think of using another brand." --- Dr. Brent Blue
Getting a dependable pulse oximeter for use in the cockpit used to cost hundreds of dollars when Aeromedix first introduced the technology to general aviation over 10 years ago. With Nonin's introduction of the 9590 Onyx Vantage, that's no longer the case. You can now get a trustworthy self-contained fingertip pulse oximeter with a 4 year warranty for under $180! You don't have to settle for a cheap pulse oximeter that may break the first time it's dropped and/or give you erratic and unreliable oxygen saturation statistics. Small and lightweight, the 9590 can be carried in your pocket and will deliver your blood oxygen saturation within seconds.
With Dr. Blue on our staff, we are able to offer this prescription-only device to you without needing a trip to a physician. We write the prescription for you the same day you order.
What happened To The Nonin 9500 Onyx and 9550 Onyx II?
After over 10 years of service, Nonin decided that they can offer patients and medical personnel more for their money by incorporating the elements of what made the 9500 a great pulse oximeter with some of the more advanced features of the 9550 Onyx II. With the addition of a 4 year warranty and a lower price than the 9500 Onyx, the result became the 9590 Onyx Vantage. We think this is a great move on Nonin's part, and while we are sad to see such a successful product as the 9500 Onyx go, we are excited about what the 9590 offers customers in terms of accuracy, durability and value. We think you'll agree as well. As for the 9550 Onyx II, these will still be available to the US military but will no longer be available for public purchase.
Why Should I Fly with a Pulse Oximeter?
A good pulse oximeter makes it simple and easy to measure the concentration of oxygen in your blood. Knowing this important bit of information is really the first step in being aware of your body's oxygen needs, knowing when and how much supplemental oxygen to use, and catching the symptoms of altitude-induced hypoxia before it's too late. For over 10 years, Aeromedix has been introducing and promoting the use of pulse oximetry in aviation to give pilots (especially GA pilots) an added degree of safety when flying.
What About the Less Expensive Pulse Oximeters I See?
These days, the market is saturated with fingertip pulse oximeters, most of them coming from overseas. We at Aeromedix, however, have promoted the Nonin brand of oximeters because of their proven reliability and accuracy. We have seen time and time again that, as far as pulse oximeters go, it is truly a "get what you pay for" situation. Many of these cheaper units simply do not provide consistently accurate readings and many of them will break the first time they are dropped. Nonin oximeters, however, are made to last and their accuracy can only be matched by expensive hospital or laboratory units that cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Nonin has such a great track record of making a quality product that we regularly have customers who purchased a 9500 Onyx 10 or more years ago and are still using it! Even the US Military spotted quality in the Nonin name - the 9550 Onyx II is now sold exclusively to the military as it has been tested to perform even in the most demanding conditions.
Now Quality Is Within Reach
The 9590 Onyx Vantage makes getting a quality pulse oximeter more affordable than ever. At a price under $180, the 9590 will serve you and your passengers well for years to come, but won't break your wallet. The 9590 Onyx Vantage can only be sold with a medical perscription , but our own Dr. Blue can write a prescription for you, saving you a trip to the doctor. Don't take chances on your safety, get a pulse oximeter you can fly with and trust.

This is the electric motor that replaced the original overhead belt-driven drive on the mirror-grinding machine built by George Willis Ritchey at the Yerkes Observatory in Williams Bay, Wisconsin, in the late 1890s. The object is a commercial product, a Dynamatic "Ajusto-Speed" 5 hp 1750 rpm electric motor, model MO 100005-0904, serial 72450-4, with Cleveland right-angle drive. The original grinding machine was used under the sponsorship of Hale to grind a 60-inch mirror initially intended for the Yerkes Observatory. The grinding machine was moved to Pasadena in 1904 to complete work on the mirror; at some point it was transferred to the California Institute of Technology. The Institute then sold the machine to the Lick Observatory of the University of California in 1949. The machine was used for making numerous mirrors over the next four decades and extensively modified over that period. It is not known when the replacement motor was installed, but it was likely when the machine was transferred to the Caltech campus. It was donated to NASM by the Lick Observatory in 1993 and shipped in March of that year.
Gift of the Lick Observatory, University of California.

Brave New World
Brave New World (Paperback)
Related Editions
Aldous Huxley's tour de force, Brave New World is a darkly satiric vision of a "utopian" future—where humans are genetically bred and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively serve a ruling order. A powerful work of speculative fiction that has enthralled and terrified readers for generations, it remains remarkably relevant to this day as both a warning to be heeded as we head into tomorrow and as thought-provoking, satisfying entertainment.
About the Author
Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) is the author of the classic novels Island, Eyeless in Gaza, and The Genius and the Goddess, as well as such critically acclaimed nonfiction works as The Devils of Loudun, The Doors of Perception, and The Perennial Philosophy. Born in Surrey, England, and educated at Oxford, he died in Los Angeles.

Guidelines for Tenure, Promotion and Pre-Tenure Review
Texas A&M University-Texarkana
College of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
The C-STEM Guidelines for Tenure, Promotion, and Pre-Tenure Review supplement Texas A&M University System (A&M System) Policy 12.01, Academic Freedom, Responsibility, and Tenure, Policy 12.02, Institutional Procedures for Implementing Tenure, and the Texas A&M University-Texarkana (A&M Texarkana) Tenure and Promotion Procedure UP12.01.99.H1.02 (Revised February, 2014). The University procedure states that "as a supplement to the criteria for tenure and promotion outlined in System policies, as well as any University rules and procedures, each college shall establish requirements and guidelines for tenure and promotion that apply to faculty working within that College". These guidelines, in combination with the other two referenced documents, provide the criteria, expectations, and processes related to faculty tenure and promotion in rank within C-STEM.
1. Eligibility and Application Criteria to Apply for Tenure and/or Promotion
To be eligible to apply for continuing appointment (tenure) and/or promotion, a C-STEM tenure-track faculty member must meet the expectations and guidelines as established by the University as outlined in University Procedure 12.01.99.H1.02.
2. College Criteria for Tenure and Promotion
To be eligible for tenure, a faculty member must be a full-time employee of A&M-Texarkana holding an academic rank as assistant professor, associate professor, or professor and hired in a tenure-track position. Minimum university expectations and guidelines for initial tenure-track position appointment and/or promotion in faculty rank are as follows:
A. Assistant Professor
This rank is the typical entry rank for new faculty hired in tenure-track positions that have the required position-specific advanced degree and limited or no previous full-time experience in higher education.
B. Associate Professor
• A high level of accomplishment as measured against the contributions of contemporaries in the field with regard to university mission, resources, and responsibilities;
• Evidence indicating a commitment to maintaining the level of competence in teaching, service, and scholarly or creative activity expected of a tenured faculty member;
• Evidence of scholarship in the years prior to promotion, including at least two peer-reviewed publications (including at least one in a journal) in the faculty member's discipline.
C. Professor
• An exemplary level of accomplishment as measured against the contributions of contemporaries in the field with regard to university mission, resources, and responsibilities;
• A record of excellence in teaching;
• Consistent evidence of scholarship or creative accomplishments in the faculty member's discipline during the years prior to promotion, including at least two peer-reviewed journal publications in the faculty member's discipline;
• A notable record of contributions to one's profession, community, and university; and
• A minimum of ten years of total full-time teaching experience in an accredited college or university with a minimum of five years at the rank of Associate Professor.
3. Tenure and Promotion Committee
The C-STEM Tenure and Promotion Committee shall consist of three tenured faculty (with preference given to those closely related to the applicant's area) that are serving in a rank that is at or above the rank being considered.
4. Procedure for Evaluating Faculty for Tenure and Promotion
Procedures for applying for tenure and/or promotion are outlined in UP 12.01.99H1.02 (1.12). The C-STEM Tenure and Promotion Committee will evaluate the faculty applicant's portfolio. Upon request of the chair, the committee may view documents in the applicant's personnel file.
5. Procedure for Pre-Tenure Review
Faculty who have completed their third year of probationary status may undergo an optional pre-tenure review. Procedural and timeline guideline a pre-tenure review are detailed in section 1.14 of University Procedure 12.01.99.H1.02. Pre-tenure reviews are not required but are encouraged by the College.
6. Portfolio
When applying for tenure and/or promotion, faculty will submit a portfolio documenting excellence in teaching, scholarship and creative activity, and service to the Office of the Dean of the College. Applicants for tenure should include performance documentation since the date of their employment in a tenure-track position. Those applying for promotion should include documentation since their initial date of employment (if they were not previously promoted in Texas A&M University-Texarkana) or last promotion. The portfolio, at a minimum, must include the following information:
A. An application letter addressed to the Dean of the College that includes a statement of the action requested, a comprehensive summary of achievement, and an explanation of why those reviewing the application should grant the request. The letter should address the three main criteria upon which faculty are evaluated: teaching, scholarship and creative activity, and service.
B. A current curriculum vitae.
C. Documentation of assessment history: copies of all documents concerning the faculty member's performance reviews with the most recent first and in descending order.
D. Documentation of excellence in teaching: indications of quality teaching such as course outlines, sample materials, self-assessments, peer reviews, representative student work, and student course evaluations.
E. Documentation of scholarship and creative activity: copies of published work, presentations at conferences or other public forums and evidence of other scholarly activities.
F. Documentation of service: university, region/school, professional, college/department, community. Relevant reports, commentary, artifacts and/or outcomes.

Perfect Way to Represent Our Wedding!
We loved being able to personalize the cover picture and pictures inside as well as the language. Being able to incorporate one of the bible verses from our ceremony was extremely meaningful to us and the quality of Magnet Street's products is always top notch. We got our wedding save the dates and invitations through them as well and if you want a no-hassle way to get your stationary - Magnet Street is the way to go. We were extremely pleased with their product and look forward to using them for other items we need in the future.

I was surprise the size of the card but overall it's quality is great! I love the designers worked with me and able to admend the size of photos and added another text. Great for a bride who wants to share four pictures of the best day of their lives .

In and around
It doesn't look good for some workers.
The law sets a new definition for "full-time" work — someone who averages 30 hours a week. Previously, there was no legal definition for "full time." The government left it up to employers.
That's as it should be. The number of full-time and part-time workers has a direct impact on a business' bottom line. The responsibility for scheduling workers rests with owners and their designated managers, not with government.
That has changed with Obama-care. Work at least 30 hours and your employer — if there are 50 or more employees at your workplace — will be required to provide health-care benefits.
It is true that for every action there is a reaction, so employers are reacting in the way you would expect to protect the profitability of their businesses.
They are cutting employees' hours.
Many employees with part-time jobs can count on less work — and a smaller paycheck.
Why are changes happening how when the new "full-time" definition hasn't taken effect?
That's part of what you — and Congress — needed to read after Obama-care became law.
The law allows the feds to look back over a worker's past history to determine whether he or she "averages" 30 hours a week. The clock on that "look back" period started ticking July 1. Onslow employers, like those across the nation, began rescheduling their workforce to ensure their compliance with Obama-care.
The calendar had barely flipped to July when government officials said hold on. They put the employer portion of Obama-care on hold for another year, making all the work that companies had done a waste of time and money.
Whenever the new law becomes a reality — if opponents are not successful in repealing it — there will be a price to pay for employees and employers.
Fewer hours on the clock and smaller paychecks won't be the only fallout from Obama-care.
Companies will be more likely to increase the number of part-time jobs and reduce the number of full-time positions.
In the end, individuals and families will see their incomes dwindle. You'll be sure to see people cobbling together a living by working multiple part-time jobs.
Onerous regulations that accompany Obama-care will add costs to businesses which will have new requirements for record-keeping so they can prove their compliance in the event of a government audit.
The decision to delay Obama-care means the major pain of this socialistic health care program won't be felt until after the mid-term elections — typical move by politicians.
Stay tuned. No good can come from government messing with your health care. No one had to read the law to know that.
