'Sons of Anarchy' prequel may be a miniseries, but not anytime soonAdd to Favorites | Sons of Anarchy
Though his new pilot for "The Bastard Executioner" may throw a wrench in the works, "Sons of Anarchy" creator Kurt Sutter still has his sights on a possible prequel to the biker drama.
Sutter has said in the past he's spoken to FX about the followup he would like to do sometime after "Sons of Anarchy" wraps its final season, and they they were receptive to the idea. Now it sounds like he might be viewing it as a one-season show or miniseries, rather than extending it out over years.
"Now that FX has expanded and they're looking at doing standalone seasons and miniseries, I think it's a probably a lot more viable than it was a few years ago," he tells THR. "I love the idea of doing the origin story, even if it's a stand-alone 12-episode thing. I love the idea of doing a period piece."
Previously, Sutter said that he would like the series to take place in the '60s, after Jax's father John Teller returns from the Vietnam War. As for when it could happen, he adds, "We would probably want to rest the mythology for a season or two, meaning that I don't think we would end 'Sons' and begin the prequel."
Depending on the success of "That Bastard Executioner," that rest could last quite a while.

Weatherman Grant Denyer found out the hard way what G-Forces can do to the uninitiated, passing out cold on air during yesterday's broadcast.
As shocked Sunrise co-host Mel Doyle watched on via a satellite hook-up, Denyer was taken through his paces by Australian stunt fighter pilot Matt Hall who obliged when Denyer asked that he wanted to know what eight G-Force felt like.
A typical person can handle about 5-G before losing consciousness, although modern pilots can typically handle a sustained 9 G-forces.
"My whole body just started to feel all warm and cozy to be honest," Denyer said later.
"I had no idea I passed out. But I was out for about six or seven seconds."

The I-Corps™ at NIH
The I-Corps™ at NIH Pilot Program is currently being evaluated. Applications are not being accepted at this time. Join the mailing list to receive updates about this program.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) share a common interest in promoting the societal benefits of Federally funded research through the commercialization of new products and services. In advancing this goal, these two agencies have collaborated to develop the NIH Innovation Corps (I-Corps™) Team Training Pilot Program. This new program seeks to accelerate the development and commercialization of new products and services arising from projects supported by currently funded NIH Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) awards. In particular, the I-Corps™ program is designed to support training that will help project teams at NIH-funded small businesses overcome key obstacles along the path of innovation and commercialization.
The I-Corps™ at NIH pilot program is modeled after the successful NSF I-Corps™ program and will be leveraged for the first time to support biomedical innovation and translation, with the goal of accelerating the development of new and emerging technologies for the detection, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Curriculum for the I-Corps™ at NIH:
- Is a nine-week training program.
- Introduces the concept of a "Business Model Canvas," which provides the framework for pursing a hypothesis-driven validation approach to customer discovery.
- Is taught by experienced, business-savvy instructors who work closely with project teams to help them explore potential markets for their Federally funded innovations. Instructors teaching this pilot program are selected based on their specific domain expertise in the major product areas that comprise the biomedical industry.
Grant Supplement Awards
The NCI SBIR Development Center is leading the I-Corps™ at NIH pilot program in collaboration with three other NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs):
- National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI)
- National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)
- National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS)
The selected I-Corps™ at NIH project teams will receive funding through grant supplement awards to support entrepreneurial training, mentorship, and collaboration opportunities that will assist them in translating their research ideas into viable products. The pilot cohort is expected to complete their training in the fall of 2014.
Participation Requirements
To participate in the I-Corps™ at NIH pilot program, eligible SBIR/STTR grantees are required to assemble three-member teams that will work collaboratively to complete the activities and assignments required by the I-Corps™ training curriculum. These team members include:
- C-Level Corporate Officer: A high-level company executive with decision-making authority;
- Industry Expert: An individual with a prior business development background in the target industry; and
- Program Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI): The assigned PD/PI on the SBIR/STTR Phase I award.
At the beginning of the training program, the I-Corps™ project teams are required to attend an intensive, three-day "Entrepreneurial Immersion" course together. Project teams then participate in a nine-week (estimated) I-Corps™ training curriculum administered via online instruction. At the end of the course, each team must attend a two-day report-out session. It is anticipated that benefits for the participating I-Corps™ teams will include enhanced understanding and validation of the key components of the Business Model Canvas, significantly refined commercialization plans, and well-informed "pivots" in the overall commercialization strategy. Please re-visit this page for updates regarding course and curriculum information.

Pay Up
It appears that Nas is a wanted man by the IRS and is being accused of skipping out on a nearly $280-thousand tax bill from the state of Georgia. According to the Jasmine Brand, Esco was hit with a lien by the state in 2009 for failing to pay taxes from 2006.
According to docs filed in Georgia on April 3, the Department of Revenue re-filed the tax lien in their pursuit to get Mr. Jones to pay up. With today also being the deadline to file taxes, let's take a look at several music stars who've had tax problems over the years.

metabolic syndrome, a common disorder including glucose intolerance and
dyslipidemia, poses a major public health issue. Patients with high
blood lipids, such as triglycerides, are at high risk in developing
atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. We recently identified a novel
blood lipid regulator, lipasin, which is a liver-enriched
nutritionally-regulated circulating factor that regulates triglyceride
metabolism by inhibiting lipoprotein lipase activity. Lipasin is later
known as betatrophin, which potently stimulates pancreatic beta-cell
proliferation. We are characterizing lipasin/betatrophin functions by
genomic and genetic approaches. Students in the lab will be exposed to
techniques of molecular biology, cell culture and mouse genetics.

Who is the postbac program intended for?
The Bryn Mawr Postbaccalaureate Premedical Program is designed for women and men who have completed a bachelor's degree with an excellent academic record, yet lack the prerequisite science courses needed for admission to medical school.
Can the postbac program prepare me for admission to health professional schools other than medical schools?
Although most postbac students pursue medical school, the core science courses in the Bryn Mawr postbac curriculum also prepares students for veterinary school, dental school, and other health professional schools.
What are the requirements for admission?
The program is designed primarily for those who are changing careers, many of whom are new to science. You can be considered for the program if you have or will have completed a bachelor's degree by the time you start the postbac program and you have had a strong academic record in college.
When do students start and end the program?
All postbac students will start our program during summer school with the general chemistry laboratory course unless you have already taken one year of general chemistry as an undergraduate. During the following fall and spring semesters, postbacs will take biology, physics and organic chemistry laboratory courses. Students can take an optional biochemistry course the following May. Students will take the MCAT in the spring or early summer.
Can I apply to the postbac program if I have already taken the science courses required for medical school?
The postbac program is designed for individuals who have not taken the prerequisite science courses for admission to medical school. Although Bryn Mawr may consider a student who has completed one or two of the required science courses, you are not eligible for the program if you have completed all or a majority of these courses or if you have taken the MCAT.
How competitive is admission to the program?
Admission to the Bryn Mawr postbac program is very competitive. Your application must demonstrate your ability to handle an academically rigorous course load in the sciences as well as a strong commitment to and understanding of medicine.
Can I be accepted directly from my undergraduate college?
We recommend that college seniors wait until they have received their fall semester grades to apply to the program. The majority of our applicants have already earned their bachelor's degree, and thus have eight semesters of undergraduate courses with grades for the admissions committee to review. In the fall semester, college seniors only have six semesters of graded courses. It is generally more advantageous to an applicant to show a more comprehensive academic picture. If you are concerned that having your registrar's office send an official transcript once fall grades are posted would further delay your application, you are welcome to apply with an official transcript for your freshman through junior years, and a screen shot of your unofficial first semester grades, with an official transcript to follow. If you decide to apply before you complete the fall semester, there is a possibility that your application may be placed on hold pending fall grades.
What types of advising and support does the Bryn Mawr postbac program provide?
Our staff will guide you every step of the way, from enrollment to the postbac program through your application to medical school. This includes: personal advising; step-by-step workshops on the medical school admissions process; help with the process of self-assessment that will lead to selecting schools to which you will apply; preparation for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT); and a comprehensive, personal premedical committee letter written for each student.
What types of volunteer experience should I have before applying to the postbac program?
Although there is no single "right" answer to this question, you should demonstrate that you have carefully thought about your motivation for a career change as well as your commitment to a medical career through your experiences in health-care or social services settings.
What are the minimum admissions requirements?
We require a bachelor's degree from an accredited four-year institution, an excellent undergraduate academic record, and SAT/ACT scores if you have taken one of these standardized tests. If you have taken the GRE or another graduate-level standardized test, you are welcome to send us those scores in addition to but not as a substitution for your SAT/ACT scores.
How do I arrange to have standardized test scores sent to Bryn Mawr?
If your SAT/ACT scores are listed on your high school transcript, you do not need to send us a separate score report. If not, you can request your SAT scores from the Educational and Testing Service by calling (609) 771-7600 and giving them our school code, which is 2477. Please be aware that it may take 4- 6 weeks or more for Bryn Mawr to receive SAT scores from the College Board.
If you choose to submit your ACT scores, Bryn Mawr's ACT code is 3526. If you have taken any other standardized tests for graduate or professional schools, such as the GRE or LSAT, you are welcome to send us a copy of your scores in addition to the SAT/ACT scores. Bryn Mawr's GRE code is 2049.
Do I need to submit any essays?
Our application requires two personal statements comprising your responses to specific questions—one about your reasons for wishing to become a physician and another about yourself—each approximately one page in length.
Do you require that academic recommendation letters and official transcripts be submitted with the application?
Yes. In addition to one required academic recommendation letter, we require a recommendation letter from someone who has supervised you or served as your advisor. Please collect your official transcripts and recommendation letters and send them in an envelope with your application. We understand that it may be challenging to obtain an academic recommendation if you have been out of school for a few years. However, your medical school applications also will require academic letters of recommendation from your undergraduate institution.
If I received my undergraduate degree from an institution outside of the United States, does the course work need to be evaluated for U. S. equivalence by a credentialing service? If so, which credentialing services are accepted by the Bryn Mawr postbac program?
If you feel that the admissions committee will be able to understand your transcript and academic record, then you do not need to have it evaluated. Contact individual credentialing services for fees and instructions to request a transcript evaluation.
World Education Services
P.O. Box 5087
New York, NY 10274-5087
(212) 966-6311
Are postbac classes independent of, or integrated with, undergraduate science classes?
Although the majority of the postbac premedical science lecture classes are geared specifically for postbac students, some laboratory sections may include postbacs and undergraduate students.
How long does the admissions process take?
It can take up to three weeks from the time we receive your completed application materials until the time we contact you to inform you if you will be invited for an interview. Following an interview, it can take four to six weeks before we notify you of the decision of the admissions committee.
Why are changes being made to the MCAT in 2015?
A report was published from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) that recommended the development of innovative approaches to premedical education. The report, "Scientific Foundations for Future Physicians," outlined a set of scientific competencies and quantitative skills that should be mastered by premedical students. This report was followed by another AAMC report, "Behavioral and Social Science Foundations for Future Physicians," which advocates that it is essential for physicians to have a conceptual framework in these disciplines to understand socioeconomic and cultural determinants of health and to address health care disparities.
MCAT 2015 addresses the new skills and competencies addressed in both AAMC reports.
What content changes have been made to the 2015 MCAT? Will these changes be reflected by changes to medical school premedical course requirements?
MCAT 2015 includes topics covered in general chemistry, organic chemistry, introductory biology, and introductory physics courses, and also incorporates topics from biochemistry. In addition there is a new interdisciplinary section entitled Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior, that covers topics from the behavioral sciences. Statistical reasoning is incorporated into all sections of the new MCAT. For complete information, please visit www.aamc.org/mcat2015.
How has the Bryn Mawr postbac program responded to these changes?
We have modified our introductory biology course and our general and organic chemistry courses to include biochemistry; in fact, the second semester of the postbac organic chemistry sequence is focused on biological organic chemistry. We have also modified our physics course to include information about the life sciences. In addition we have offered and will continue to offer elective courses in statistics and the behavioral sciences.
What impact will these changes have on the medical school consortial/linkage process?
Both the medical schools and the postbac program are strongly committed to the consortial/linkage programs; we are in the process of discussing what impact, if any, the 2015 MCAT/medical school premedical requirements changes will have on the linkage process.
What preparation materials will be provided by the AAMC?
The "What's on the MCAT2015 exam?" gives prospective examinees a chance to become familiar with the content of the new exam. The Official Guide to the 2015 MCAT has been released, and there is one full-length practice exam available from the AAMC. The AAMC has partnered with Khan Academy to provide free, online resources to help students prepare for MCAT 2015.

The most complete maternity services with specialized care for high-risk obstetrics can be found at Erlanger Baroness.
The Erlanger Baroness Campus is a designated Level III Perinatal Center for both expectant mothers and infants. Erlanger provides mothers with immediate access to high-risk obstetricians who are specifically trained in maternal and fetal medicine. Mothers can receive 100 percent of their care here without having to be transported to another facility. The designated 12-room Perinatal Unit will have all the capabilities for care of mothers experiencing complications during their pregnancy or recuperating from complications during labor and delivery. The rooms are equipped with the latest technology and monitoring systems. Anesthesia capabilities are also available.
Just as important as treating expectant and new mothers, the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Children's Hospital at Erlanger takes care of the sickest and smallest newborns. The NICU, part of the Regional Perinatal Center at Erlanger, is a designated Level III NICU, the highest level assigned by the State of Tennessee and the highest level designated in our region. The 58-bed unit provides immediate access to pediatric and surgical subspecialists, all backed by specially trained Neonatalogists and Nurses, and Neonatal Nurse Practitioners. Children's Hospital's mission is to improve pediatric and adolescent health in a family-centered environment, and we strongly encourage parents to become involved in their child's care. Parents can visit the unit as long as they like anytime except 6 to 8 a.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. and we especially encourage parents to attend medical rounds on their baby.
The NICU also offers a "Care by Parent" room that gives parents an opportunity to care for their child before discharge. The Care by Parent room is a home-like setting, complete with a bed and bathroom, where moms and dads have the opportunity to feed, diaper, and care for their child during the night. This gives parents the independence of caring for their child with peace of mind, knowing that the child's vital signs are being monitored at the nursing station.
The Erlanger Baroness Campus offers tours and a wide variety of childbirth education classes; including CPR, Father's Only, Baby Care, and Car Seat Safety. To find out more and to register, call 778-LINK. In-person tours are available by appointment Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Please call 423-778-5284 to schedule a tour. Erlanger's LINK line can also assist in helping you find an OB/GYN and Pediatrician.
A breastfeeding-friendly facility, Erlanger Baroness Campus has a lactation consultant who visits each breastfeeding mother during her stay, and our well-trained staff is able to assist. Our breastfeeding services include:
We offer customized newborn photo packages, sibling photos and baby photo posting on a secure website through www.erlanger.org.

Surf Air, the tiny airline that sells 'all you can fly' passes for as low as $1,350 per month, will start service later this month to Hawthorne Municipal Airport near LAX.
Hawthorne is the second Southern California destinations for Surf Air, which started flying in June from Burbank Bob Hope Airport. With a fleet of only three Pilatus PC-12 aircraft, which seat only six people. the Surf Air network is small. From Hawthorne, you'll be able to fly to Palm Springs, Santa Barbara and San Carlos, near San Francisco. One of the major pluses is that you can arrive at the airport 20 minutes before flights because there's no security screening.
Surf Air will continue serving Burbank with the small propeller driven planes, but chief executive Wade Eyerly told me the airline felt it needed a base on the West side of Los Angeles.
"By going into Hawthorne, you take advantage of the fact people are used to the drive to LAX — that's something that is comfortable for them — but now the experience is night-and-day better," Eyerly said. "It's very much that private flight experience that people like about Surf Air."
Want more information? I wrote a full story on Surf Air's growth strategy in Sunday's newspaper.
Also, here's Surf Air's schedule starting Dec. 9. You'll notice their three airplanes spend a lot of time in the air.

Start by picking one of our colleges...
Iowa Valley Community College District (IVCCD) operates two separate colleges: Ellsworth Community College in Iowa Falls, and Marshalltown Community College in Marshalltown. We also operate Iowa Valley Grinnell, a satellite campus of MCC located about 30 miles southeast of Marshalltown.
Before you can take the next steps, you need to pick a college/campus. If you've already done that, great! Skip down to the links below for the college/campus of your choice, and you're on your way.
If you haven't picked a college/campus yet, we suggest you consider the following:
Do you live closest to Iowa Falls, Marshalltown, or Grinnell? If you need to come to campus for any reason, perhaps it would be handy to travel to the closest one.
Is your desired degree program only offered at one college/campus or another? If so, that's where you need to apply for admission. If not, then the degree program is not a deciding factor for you.
Do you have any other preference for one college/campus over another? Even though you're an "online student," you may occasionally need to go to the campus for such things as on-site testing, tutoring, to meet with a faculty member, etc.
If these factors are not helpful in your consideration, we suggest you contact online advisor Michell Klinker-Feld (contact information is below) for assistance.

About adding/dropping classes
Students may make schedule changes through the first week of a full (16-week) or half-term semester without consequences. Beginning the second week of class (full or half-term semester): Tuition will be assessed; adding a course will require instructor approval; and courses dropped will be listed on the student's transcript with the grade "W" (withdrew). Tuition refunds are based upon the date of "official withdraw," not upon the last date of attendance.
Charges for withdrawal during summer, special sessions, or condensed sessions will be charged as of the second day of class. Additional information regarding refunds of tuition due to withdrawal, including the refund schedule for interim and summer sessions, can be found under "Tuition Refund Policy" in the college catalog.
Failure to submit official course withdraw (Add/Drop Form) to the Registrar's Office will result in a grade "F" recorded on the student's transcript.
Online students: Students who are unable to submit Add/Drop Form in person may email the Add/Drop request to the Registrar's Office, using their IVCCD student email account and including their student ID number.
Your online advisor
All ECC, MCC and IVG students are assigned an academic advisor. All online/distance learning students are assigned to Michell Klinker-Feld, who can be reached by phone at 641-269-2239 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Depending on your degree program, you'll also be assigned a faculty advisor ... Michell will help with that process.

Critical Essay by Howard Kissel
In many ways Neil Simon's "I Ought to Be in Pictures" … is a fantasy play. It presumes that a daughter who was abandoned by her father at the age of 3 can establish a close relationship with him, speak more candidly, manage to convey all the inner warmth daughters who have lived with their fathers all their lives cannot. But the theater, after all, is a place where wishes are fulfilled, and the play is set in Los Angeles, which everyone knows is not a real place—so it is not at all hard to suspend disbelief and accept the play for what it is, the most genuinely touching play Simon has written, one in which laughs stem from character, one in which the master yocksmith is not afraid to trust his emotions.

TRG Roars Into the January Test Days with a Formidable Lineup and a 3 Car Entry
PETALUMA, CA (December 26, 2012) - As the holidays roll on, The Racers Group is hard at work trying to extend their streak of 13 podiums at Daytona, with sights firmly set on a fifth victory in the Epic battle - the Rolex 24 at Daytona.
With just over a month before the Grand-Am Series' Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona, the three TRG Porsche entries are gearing up for "The Roar Before the 24," and finalizing a remarkably strong lineup. TRG will once again be showcasing some of the most experienced Daytona drivers, past champions and factory superstars while adding fresh new talent to the team, setting expectations high for the 51st running of the event.
"There isn't much of an off-season for our group here at TRG," said team owner Kevin Buckler. "We've all worked tirelessly to make this incredible feat happen and it started 2 months ago. The Rolex 24 has been our signature event for more than the last decade, and we've been successful because of our team's dedication, and we're glued together by one thing... we like to win...especially here...and we deliver."
The No. 66 Porsche 911 GT3 will set the bar high with the lineup of Ben Keating, Porsche Factory driver Jorg Bergmeister, Dominik Farnbacher, and Kuno Wittmer, open wheel and sports car sensation. Keating and Farnbacher drove the 66 at Daytona in 2011 and 2012, qualifying on the pole in 2011 and having strong runs in the races. Bergmeister is no stranger to victory lane, previously winning the 24 Hours at Daytona with TRG 3 times. Keating and Bergmeister also drove the inaugural Indy Grand-Am event in 2012 where they were charging for a podium in the final minutes of the event.
Tracy Krohn and Nic Jonsson return to TRG's No. 67 Porsche after partnering with the team on a successful DP program that saw historic runs throughout the 2005 season, culminating with an incredible 1-2 victory at the Watkins Glen Six Hour. Joining the team will be Porsche superstar, Emmanuel Collard, who has driven for the team multiple times at the Rolex 24 and Petit Le Mans with strong podium finishes.
Jim Michaelian returns to Daytona once again to run in TRG's No. 68 Porsche GT3. Michaelian, one of the longest tenured TRG drivers at Daytona and the President of the Long Beach Grand Prix Association, will be teaming up with newcomer (and Cars 2 director) Brad Lewis who has been solid in testing during the offseason. Also joining the team will be Dutch Race Car driver and 2nd year Daytona participant, Ronald van de Laar.
"It is really nice to be back with Ben in the 66 car and the amazing driver lineup we put together here," stated TRG Team Owner Kevin Buckler. "This.... is a formidable car. It's fantastic to have Dominik back again and our new addition with Kuno. Also Jorg is Back!! We have had some amazing runs together since 2002, sharing 3 Daytona victories. Joining forces with Tracy and Nic again is going to be fantastic in the 67 car. We had such a strong run together on the DP program and many other races that we've done. We have added Emmanuel Collard as well, and are waiting to nominate the final superstar to round out the team. Tracy likes to win and so do we and that's what we're setting our sights to accomplish. It is really great being back with Jim in the 68 as well as the addition of Brad and Ronald. This is going to be a solid car and we will be finalizing our lineup in the next few days."
"It is really nice to be back with TRG for our 3rd Daytona 24 together," stated 66 driver Ben Keating. "This is my 3rd year racing with Dominik and we have been so close here - with a really fast car and a great team behind us so we feel this year we are really ready and gunning for the victory. TRG puts together an amazing effort at the Rolex 24 and combined with this solid Porsche racecar and this amazing group of drivers, we are doing everything possible to be standing on the top step of the podium."
"That darn watch has eluded me and this year we are after it," stated 67 driver and Krohn Racing team owner, Tracy Krohn. "Kevin and I and all of the TRG team have had some great runs together so this year we have combined our efforts to put together a fantastic run at the Rolex 24. Nic and Emmanuel will make great teammates here with their years of experience and I can't wait to get the test days."
"This will be my 8th year running the Rolex 24 with TRG and every year it seems to get just better," stated TRG veteran driver Jim Michaelian. "I am really looking forward to running with Brad as it was just a few years ago that he put his car on the pole in our Toyota Celebrity race at Long Beach, and adding Ronald to our lineup with his endurance racing experience will help to round out the car."
Buckler had this to add, "We are proud to once again be driving and representing, these amazing Porsche race cars at one of the toughest endurance races on the planet. It is really an event like no other and we take pride in being the lead dog on this one so we always give it our best. I am also really excited and proud to be associated with Grand American and the merger with ALMS. This is going to yield some amazing results in the elevation of professional sports car racing in North America. It has been a long time coming and with the incredible schedule and super experienced management team that will come of this---the future looks extremely bright for our sport."

Originally written on Hip Hoop Junkies | Last updated 11/2/12
posted by Romy AquinoThe buzz in the Canadian basketball world right now is all about the Toronto Raptors rookie, Jonas Valanciunas. The seven-foot Lithuanian was drafted fifth overall in the 2011 NBA draft by the Toronto Raptors, the same draft that the Cleveland Cavaliers selected Brampton, Ontario native Tristan Thompson with the #4 pick. Both the Cavs and Raptors were heavily criticized in the media for selecting two very questionable picks at the time. Now that we're fresh int a new NBA season, it will be interesting to see how the fourth and fifth overall picks of the 2011 NBA draft pan out.Flashback to 2011...For the Cleveland Cavaliers, it was the "post Lebron James era" back on the 2011 draft night and the team was in a favourable position in the draft. They had the first and fourth overall lottery selections. They chose the Duke point guard, Kyrie Irving with the first overall pick and then three picks later picked the Texas product and Canadian kid, Tristan Thompson. ...

Engagement announcements often fall around the holidays, and Iowa State University received a big "yes" just in time for Christmas. On Dec. 18, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching announced that Iowa State is one of 119 institutions that have received the foundation's community engagement classification.
In Carnegie terms, community engagement describes the collaboration between institutions of higher education and their larger communities — local, regional, state, national and global. The collaboration benefits the institution and the community as they exchange knowledge and resources as reciprocal partners. Institutions that are engaged with their communities have aligned their mission, marketing, leadership, traditions, recognitions, budgetary support, infrastructure, faculty development and strategic plans.
ISU Associate Provost for Academic Programs David K. Holger said the community engagement classification is part of a new effort by the foundation to set criteria that could be met by research universities, liberal arts colleges and community colleges. Institutions that seek to receive the designation must document their efforts to engage communities.
Institutions were to describe teaching, learning and scholarly activities that engage faculty, students and the community; address community-identified needs; deepen students' civic and academic learn¬ing; enhance the wellbeing of the community; and enrich the scholarship of the institution. They also needed to address how they provide institutional resources for community use in ways that benefited both the campus and the community. In addition, they had to explain how their collaborations and faculty scholarship allow for discovering and applying knowledge, information and resources.
"The submission that resulted in our selection was a collaborative effort involving many faculty and staff members from across campus, including ISU Extension. Their collective contributions made this successful new recognition possible," Holger said.

If you run your own company, you can't help but notice that the current economic crisis could have a profound affect in the way you manage your business: from having enough cash on hand to meet payroll, to securing a line of credit to buy equipment, boost your inventory, or to meet monthly expenses. Likely, we haven't seen the bottom of the market yet, something that continues to cause much fear and consternation around the globe.
A lot of what is going on today is well beyond your control and may, indeed, be as a result of what is taking place in markets beyond your own country's borders. Never before has the global market been so tightly woven together, a double-edge sword that can lift all boats in good times and just as certainly sink the entire fleet in bad times.

Business owners know that in order to navigate the rough seas, a plan of action must be drawn up to avoid being pulled down into the financial vortex. Those plans must include keeping day to day operations going, promoting the business, and planning for the future especially in anticipation of better days ahead. Oftentimes when we're in the middle of a crisis, it is virtually impossible to look beyond what is happening by envisioning that better days are coming. Having the foresight to plan for a rebound can certainly improve your company's picture for the long term.
Today, however, there are enough troubles to handle, challenges which must be met and overcome one by one, to shake even the most confident person to the core. Gaining the upper hand during these trying times will mean that your business will continue to survive, if not thrive, provided you keep your head upon your shoulder and refuse to make any decision in haste.
The following are five tips that can help your business navigate the current financial crisis:
Team Up — I write extensively for the automotive industry and have been witnessing a trend lately that can help many companies survive the current downturn, indeed succeed for the long run.
Specifically, though companies are not necessarily merging, many have chosen to forge business partnerships to meet specific needs. For example, Chrysler and Volkswagen agreed in 2005 that Chrysler would supply the German automaker with a minivan to sell in the US. The Routan is on the market, a vehicle that fills an important gap in the VW line up, while allowing Chrysler to maintain production capacity at one of its plants.
You aren't an automaker, but you may have a service or a product you could share with another company. Consider developing a mutually beneficial agreement that will carry you both through this current storm, a temporary business relationship that ends at a time agreed upon by both parties — nurture your partnerships!
Contingency Plan – If you were to lose a major customer tomorrow, how would that event affect your business? Although we plan to succeed, part of being successful in business is to recognize that if a major shift in business were to take place, you'd already have a plan in place to address those changes. Your company may have a plan in face to weather a catastrophe (e.g., fire or earthquake), but do you have a scaled down plan in place that addresses losing a customer?
Sometimes clients send out signals that they are having problems including taking longer than normal to pay their invoices. Get with your Accounting Department to learn who is falling behind, but be slow to renegotiate terms because a bankrupt business may never pay what they owe you.
Consolidate Operations — Nonperforming assets should be sold, business units that aren't performing might be discontinued, and departments can be combined to bring forth greater efficiencies.
But, before you consider tossing your most valuable assets — people – look for ways to streamline expenses including trimming the fat from the phone bill, reducing energy costs, reviewing travel expenses, overhauling your advertising budget, securing credit while you can, build up equity, pay down debt, and convert adjustable rate loans to a fixed rate.
Regarding advertising, pare this expense very carefully. You still need to promote your business which includes sponsoring community events, pursuing new customers, and telling current customers what you have to offer to them. With a recession, you have much more latitude where your advertising monies will be spent; shop around and negotiate the most favorable deal for your business. Keep up with your SEO blogging.
Cash Is King – In a down market where credit is difficult (and expensive) to obtain, businesses with a lot of cash on hand are in the best position to weather the storm. Cash will also allow you to step in and snap up other businesses at prices well below the market rate, putting your company in a position to quickly expand when the market recovers.
Right now, assets are underpriced and some of your competitors may be failing; with plenty of cash on hand you're in a position to buy, buy, buy!
Downsize Through Attrition, Hire Contractors — If your company is in a position where payroll must be cut, try to reduce staff through attrition first. Next, offer early retirement or an incentive package to help others move on, but do everything within your means to keep your best people hired. Tread softly because you don't want to spook your best employees who might jump ship if they think that your boat is ready to sink.
If you find that you need new personnel to fill vacancies, use contractors and temporary workers to supplement your workforce — a corps of last hired, first fired people who won't sink your company's morale if they are let go. When the economy improves, offer permanent work to your best supplemental employees.
These Are The Best Of Times, These Are The Worst Of Times
To paraphrase Charles Dickens, these are the best of times for some companies but they are also the worst of times for other businesses. You probably already know where your business stands at the moment, but that doesn't mean you'll find yourself in the same position in just a few months time. Inaction will sink your business, but aggressive planning will just as certainly give you the opportunity to not only survive tough times, but to thrive.

Live your life for the stories you can tell later.
Born in the city, raised in the burbs, lived all over. Been back in Manhattan for almost two years now, on here to see what I can find. So, here goes. I'm the funny guy. The one who loves to laugh, will do anything to see his friends smile and always, ALWAYS suggests karaoke. I just like the people around me to be happy at all costs. I'm a pretty social person and rarely turn down a chance to meet up with folks at a bar, party, shindig, box social, soiree, fancy dinner, and once I crashed a debutante ball after-party. That said, I do enjoy enjoy the quiet times as well. Sometimes there's nothing better than taking it easy and enjoying a good book or a fine film. I'm just as happy dancing my way down a crowded city street with a drunken gang of chums as I am sitting in silence around a campfire in the middle of nowhere. Overall, I would say I'm a pretty laid back kind of guy. Jeans, collared shirt and a baseball cap, though I do deeply enjoy throwing on a nice suit and hitting a good bar. Even if nobody else feels like getting dolled up. I love books and movies of all kinds, am not ashamed to say that I enjoy musical theater and Shakespeare, and consider myself a pretty decent guitarist. I travel whenever and wherever I can and make a mean mango salsa. I'll wrap this up before I start to ramble. But if any of that sounds like a piece of someone you'd like to get to know, just send me a hello. Believe me, I look forward to hearing from you.

I like Fish
Allergic to cats. Which I found out after I had a family cat for almost ten years. We kept the cat anyway. I guess I should be bitter, but I loved that damn cat.
Middle of the Road
Anywhere I can get a good beer or a great meal in the city, which doesn't narrow it down much I know. Though I am partial to Asian food (Thai, Chinese, Japanese, and so on).
Musically, I'm partial to the alt-rock, singer-songwriter type, though I enjoy the classics of rock. I love movies all across the board. Not a huge TV watcher, though I am loyal to a fair share of funny shows and do enjoy my Law & Order: SVU.
Oh so many things! Go to movies, read, run, write, go camping, cook, drink fine brown liquor with glee, travel, eat, argue, challenge hipsters to duels, Scrabble, and a million other things.
Reading Kon-Tiki now. Anybody want to build a giant raft with me?
