Maybe the Senator needs to meet with her. After all, as he himself admits, "I'm not a scientist, man." Well, I'm not a mathematician but I know that 2+2=4.
Why are we getting the sense that if the story of the 2012 GOP field was birth control, the theme of 2016 will be evolution? At this point questions about the age of the earth are a real stumper:
"Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) raised eyebrows Monday when he told GQ he couldn't answer a question about the age of the earth because "I'm not a scientist, man."
"Having a top prospect for the 2016 presidential nomination say the age of the planet is "one of the great mysteries" comes at an awkward time for a party attempting to rebuild from its Nov. 6 drubbing at the hands of voters turned off by the GOP's embrace of social conservatives. But Rubio is hardly alone among potential Republican presidential contenders. Other big names for 2016 have weighed in publicly at various times over the years to position themselves as supportive of creationism proponents."
"To science education advocates, these public statements fall into two categories: craven political panders to the conservative base and expressions of actual doubt in basic scientific principles. Both are disconcerting, the advocates say, and whether or not a president stands up for science has a broader impact than the education battles where creationism most often comes up."
"It's important beyond whether somebody has a direct impact on evolution [education] because it's an indicator of the way they look at the world and who they accept as reliable guides and authorities on subjects," said Dr. Eric Meikle, an anthropologist and director of education at the National Center for Science Education. "It's very important in terms of that."
Rubio even drew a comparison between teaching evolution in school and kids in Cuba being encouraged to turn in their parents for failing to praise Castro-though he added he's not equating "the evolution people" and Fidel Castro.
His argument here comes down to "parental choice." If parents teach creationism at home, it's some how very wrong to teach them differently in school. So if I want to teach my kids that 2+2=5 it's wrong for the school to tell them otherwise? We have yet another example of why this whole idea of parental choice as framed by the Right is wrongheaded. It makes of parental choice a kind of categorical imperative elevated above any other concerns, a kind of universal demand. Anything is right or at least can't be criticized as wrong if it's the parent's choice.
Rubio is far from the only GOP 2016 candidate who can't answer the age of the earth question. What's notable is that Romney actually did answer it. So the likely candidates for 2016-for now-are considerably to the Right of Romney who was considerably to the Right of McCain on many issues. Notice a trend?
Bob Jindal says the GOP should stop being the stupid party. Yet look what he has done as Governor:
"In 2008, Jindal signed into law the "Louisiana Science Education Act," a law that according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune's Annette Sisco, "cleared the way for creationism to be taught in biology class." That led groups like the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology and the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology to boycott the state as host for national conferences."
"Jindal created a new firestorm around the evolution issue this summer when schools with bible-based curriculums ended up on the list of institutions included in the state's expanded voucher program. Under Jindal's education reforms, thousands of Louisiana students can use taxpayer dollars to attend schools that, as Lance Hill, executive director of Southern Institute for Education and Research, explained to Reuters in July, "use an evangelical curriculum that teaches that humans walked the earth 6,000 years ago with dinosaurs."
"A biology major at Brown and a Rhodes Scholar, Jindal has endorsed the idea that local school boards should determine whether creationism or intelligent design should be taught in schools. "I don't want any facts or theories or explanations to be withheld from [my children] because of political correctness," Jindal said during a 2008 appearance on CBS' "Face the Nation."
It's not political correcntess but science. The idea of dinsosaurs and humans on the earth at the same time is not about facts but pure fairytales. So for Jindal it's the local school board who knows all.
Then we have "straight talker" Chris Christy not being so straight on how old the earth is:
"The oft-mentioned 2016 contender — and self-described straight shooter — has declined open up about his thoughts on evolution. "That's none of your business," Christie said in May 2011 when asked where he comes down on evolution versus creationism."
"At a town hall a week earlier, Christie said that he believed the decision to teach creationism alongside evolution should be made at the local level. A week later, Christie clarified that this position was not an endorsement of teaching creationism. "That is not to say, as it was interpreted by some that I was advocating for the teaching of creationism," Christie said. "Folks never really have a hard time figuring out when I'm advocating for something."
Yes, whatever the local level wants to teach. Let them teach kids that unicorns exist and the earth revolves around the sun if that's what happens to please a local school board.
Rand Paul too demurred to answer it.
"Almost exactly like Rubio did this week, Paul demurred on the question of the earth's age back in 2010. Taking questions from a meeting of the Christian Homeschool Educators of Kentucky during his Senate campaign, Paul declined to answer the question "how old is the world?"
"I forgot to say I was only taking easy questions," Paul said. "I'm gonna pass on the age of the earth. I think, ah, I'm just gonna have to pass on that one."
So we may see 2016 as the year of Creationist GOP candidates after the year of GOP candidates attacking birth control here in 2012.

If you're like us, you've watched some of those amazing parkour artists and thought to yourself, "don't these guys ever get hurt?"
Yes. They do.
Parkour artist Robert Stafsing was recently filming a new video for his fans when he completely wiped out while trying to jump from rooftop to rooftop.
His face slammed into the roof, then he fell about 15 feet to the ground.
In all, Robert needed 19 titanium plates, 38 titanium screws, 21 stitches to the face, 14 stitches to his mouth, and 30 to 50 surgical staples from ear to ear.
Fortunately, Robert is expected to make a full recovery. You can check him out on Facebook here and here.
Check out his wipeout and the aftermath below (WARNING: not for the squeamish!)…

Athol Fugard's early apartheid drama inaugurates a handsome theater complex
Before reviewing Signature Theatre's worthy revival of "Blood Knot," let's talk about the new Pershing Square Signature Center, where the production opened last week.
Designed by Frank Gehry, Signature's three-space complex is located only two blocks away from the Lincoln Tunnel exit/entrance, which certainly makes the venue very handy for New Jersey playgoers.
A large and airy second floor lobby contains a café, a bookstore and expansive views of the midtown skyline. These bright environs are Spartan but cheerful and welcoming with creamy walls and blond woodwork, accented by jumbo-sized portraits of playwrights like Edward Albee and Horton Foote whose works Signature has staged over these last 20 years. Three intimate theaters lead off the lobby.
The 199-seat Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre, where "Blood Knot" is being performed, features a modest balcony, black cinderblock walls, very comfortable seating and a lofty feeling to the auditorium.
Produced off Broadway in 1964 and again on Broadway in 1985, "Blood Knot" is regarded as South African playwright Athol Fugard's breakthrough drama. Like so many of Fugard's plays, the first act involves some laborious wind-up before unleashing its power in the second part.
The two-character drama involves biracial half-brothers eking out a hardscrabble existence in a shack in a "coloured" shanty town in South Africa in the early 1960s. The ginger-haired Morris (Scott Shepherd) easily passes for white but his sibling Zachariah (Colman Domingo) looks very black.
The playful brothers, who share a happy fantasy life, appear quite comfortable with each other's mild eccentricities. Then their pen-pal correspondence with a woman – who turns out to be white in a country where apartheid strictly segregates the races – upsets their equilibrium.
The increasingly surreal second act sees these brothers act out stereotypical white and black roles that leads them to violence signifying the country's racial tensions.

Thanks guys for your help, and great knowledge.
Slow and steady is the way to go. I have seen changes in my cholesterol, blood pressure, etc. from making even the smallest of changes.
Definitely show it to your wife.
And I would recommend taking an average eating day for yourself and tracking your food. At worst, you should just list all the foods you ate. Preferably though, the amount you ate of each food would be good too. Then you can put it into a site like My Fitness Pal or post it here for us to see. Then we can give you ideas on what easy changes you can make for the better.
Good luck!

Windows 7 Pro 64bit SP1
i7 2760QM CPU
8GB/500GB/Intel Centrino Ultimate 6300 WiFi
I have tried the following methods to install the drivers all have failed...
Update through device manager and use Windows Update
Update via Device Manager and manually specify the drivers location
Tried using Dell client system update utility
manually downloaded the Buletooth package from Dell, only to have it fail (I can't veiw the entire error, but I think its to do with me using 64bit)

RDP Server - An open source RDP server and X server capable of accepting connections from rdesktop and ms terminal server clients.
User Ratings
User Reviews
This can be used to access your Linux Desktop if used with x11vnc.
I've used this project for years. A couple things I wish were better. E.g., that it might be able to take over an existing desktop session the way that Windows behaves. Or that the install was a little easier or better documented. A tip which saved me on CentOS 6.5 was to run in the foreground: xrdp --nodaemon& sleep 2; xrdp-sesman --nodaemon It can give you hints for the "cannot connect" errors. On CentOS i found that without the full desktop envrionment, it complained about starting X11... X11 was failing to start because xterm didn't have the right fonts. 5 stars on this because I use it every day and there's no competition. Once it is set up, it just works.
Great for remote access to linux desktop or server. Tested on Debian 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
@bflance: I have xrdp running on several server platforms, including CentOS 6.4. Granted, in my case, I had to manually compile and install XRDP, but it worked after a bit of debugging. In our particular case, I use vnc4server as the backend layer, along with the 'libvnc.so' library, and a series of rules that I've created in "/etc/hosts.allow" & "/etc/hosts.deny" to block direct VNC connections. In each instance I've built out, I use XRDP's customizable menu to build a resolution selector, with each resolution associated with a particular VNC port number (example: 5900 = 1024x768; 5901 = 1280x1024; 5902 = 1440x900; 5903 = x11vnc-console session with password protection). I also combine this configuration with "crypt_level=high" to force all connection-negotiations to use 128bit encryption, end-to-end. The VNC service configuration is a bit tricky per platform, as each platform tends to have it's own nuances in regard to what it supports. But, in my configuration, I use xinetd for auto-spawning the VNC backend sessions, and within the xinetd.d scripts that I built for this purpose, I also have each instance set so that the client connection will receive the name of the system they've connected to as part of their titlebar text, which makes it really easy to keep track of what system you are connected into when you have several sessions open at once. I built this out as an RDP gateway from the start, and then even took that farther to integrate "guacamole", the Tomcat/RDP client that runs from a web browser. While I've ran into a few challenges where XRDP is concerned, I've overcome each of those challenges through extensive research, development, and debugging.
Hi All, nice app, works fine on Ubuntu 12.04. very easily installed via apt-get, also integrates with LikwiseOPEN which give ability to login to ununtu server via RDP using active directory username/password. however.. no matter what i did, and i already spent like 40+ hours on it, xrdp DOES NOT work on ANY redhat type machine.. tried Centos5/6, Redhat 5.8 and 6.4.. either Xvnc goes zombie (defunct) or some weird errors that "display is in use" or "connecting to 127.0.0.1 5910 - error problem connecting" - go figure.. its really shame that such nice ap doesnt support Redhat enterprise linux. it could be very nice addition in enterprise enviroment, especialy where very expensive products like X-win32 and Exceed dont provide much more than xrdp can do for free... if it was only Ubuntu i would give it 5 stars, but for now, rating only 2...

The Aboke girls' abduction by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) left mental scars on students, teachers, parents and the entire nation.
One of the survivors of the October 9, 1996 abduction, Esther Acio, recalls that a celebration of any public holiday at St Mary's College Secondary School, Aboke, was always an excitement for students because they would not attend class on that day and would have some entertainment in the evening (maybe a dance or watch movies).
"But on this particular celebration (October 9, 1996), the school was kind of 'cold' or the students felt different (we even had no entertainment) because of the rumour that the rebels were in the vicinity. This time we didn't even go into hiding but prayed to God and asked him to take control of our lives," Acio told The Observer.
"On other occasions when the school management heard of such rumours, they would take us into hiding to some nearby villages (we would not sleep at school). ...we also heard that Sister Rachele had travelled to Lira that afternoon to try and get some soldiers to come and guard us that night," Acio added.
St Mary's College Secondary School Aboke is located in Kole district. It is 25 Kilometers west of Lira municipality. The current head teacher of the school, Sister Anna Maria Spiga, who was a teacher then at the school, recalls that 300 LRA rebels attacked the school at midnight on October 10, 1996, and spent four hours outside the senior one and two dormitories trying to force the girls to open. It was only when the rebels threatened to throw grenades into the dormitories that the girls gave in.
"...The rebels who came inside started to order us to go out, but at the same time they were asking us for gumboots, watches and money... We then moved that night with our hands tied behind us with ropes, and for those given luggage to carry, they tied ropes around their waists and we moved in one line, the rope joining from one person to another. The destination was unknown to us and we kept following the rebels," Acio recalls.
"More than 150 school girls were abducted when Lord's Resistance Army rebels raided their school in Apac district, Wednesday night," The Monitor newspaper reported on October 11-14, 1996. "Maj Gen Salim Saleh who is spearheading the counter-insurgency campaign in the north explained that the UPDF couldn't pursue the rebels for fear of catching the girls in the cross-fire."
"The deputy head teacher of the school, Sister Rachele and a teacher, John Bosco Ocen, followed the rebels into the Gulu bush and negotiated the release of 109 of the girls. The rebels first selected 30 light-skinned and beautiful girls and said they were taking them to their leader (Joseph Kony) before releasing the rest...," The Monitor reported on October 30 - November 1, 1996.
Acio, who was among the 30 girls that remained with the rebels, says she and another Aboke student managed to survive Kony's captivity after escaping during a UPDF helicopter gunship attack in Patongo near the Uganda - Sudan border. Dr Frank Ayo Olyet, who had a daughter in senior three recalls rushing to Aboke on the morning of October 11, 1996. "My daughter, Caroline Anyango Olyet, was among the abducted girls. It was terrible and for the first time in my adulthood I found myself crying," he said.
"I collapsed in the school's compound when I learnt that my daughter, Esther Acio was among the girls retained by Kony. It was devastating. I and other parents were in great shock," Jackson Atwii recalls.
As if that was not enough, when Sister Rachele returned with 109 girls from the bush, riding on a tractor the following morning, Olyet's daughter was not among them.
"What happened was something horrible," Sister Spiga says, adding: "... This should also be a testimony that these things should not be repeated. Never again - but unfortunately, by out nature we have a very short memory..."
On October 12, 1996, the parents of the 30 missing girls decided to form the Concerned Parents Association (CPA) after realizing that they would not go on crying for their daughters. CPA demanded for the immediate release of the girls, stoppage of abductions and rehabilitations of the girls. Out of the 30 girls, 25 have since returned, four were confirmed dead and one is still missing.
"For the returnees, we have tried to put them back to school and some have even graduated as lawyers, doctors and nurses. Some are still in school. For those that returned with children, we have found a way to look after them and send their children to school in order to reduce the burden on the mothers," Olyet said.
In her book "Aboke Girls: Children abducted in Northern Uganda," Els De Temmerman reconstructs the journey of two Aboke girls who managed to escape from the LRA. "Alice, who had been given as a wife to [an] LRA commander, escaped from Nisitu camp in Sudan in July 1999. A Sudanese charcoal man hid her in his house in Juba for five months, forcing her into sex in exchange for protection. She ran away on New Year's eve of 2000."
"A commander of the Equatorial Defence Forces, another local militia fighting alongside the Sudanese army, took her to Torit, close to the border with Uganda. There, she was kept by another man for two months. When she was seven months pregnant, she was marched back to Uganda in April 2000. On the way, in the mountains, she had a miscarriage and almost bled to death. A fellow captive carried her over the border to Uganda," Temmerman narrates.
Sister Spiga says it took time for the school to settle after the abductions. "For several years things were tough because the girls that returned were so afraid that they slept in the villages at night and attended classes during the day. It was difficult to convince them to sleep in the dormitories. The number of students even dropped in 2002/3 when the rebels returned from Sudan. It was only in 2005/6 that the school normalized again in terms of numbers and the increased confidence of the parents."
"We as CPA want government to give reparations to the affected families because of its failure to protect us. For example, some of the abducted girls returned to old, weak or dead parents. Some didn't find [their] homes at all because they had been destroyed and their parents' livelihoods disrupted," Olyet, a member of the CPA Board of Trustees, said.
"We feel that government has not done much to assist us who have suffered because of this war. We might be forced to [consider] legal means because the peaceful negotiations have failed," Olyet argues.
"We absolutely need reparations from government because it is guaranteed to protect us under the Constitution. Before the Aboke abductions, there were intelligence reports that the LRA was in the area and could attack anytime. So, government should have provided protection. What surprised us was that the rebels [spent] five hours at the school and there was no challenge at all from the UPDF. The army only came in the following day when it was too late and the rebels had abducted the girls," Atwii says.
"Before we talk of reparations, we would wish that the girls who returned with children born in captivity are given meaningful education support. Some are so traumatized and need specialized medical attention," Atwii, the CPA Board of Trustees chairman, suggests.
"Some of the Aboke girls who returned suffered from the Stockholm syndrome, a condition experienced by people who are held hostage for a long period during which they become attached to their captors. Others were filled with anger towards their rapists and hatred for the children they had produced. Jackline, who was deeply affected by the news that her mother had died of grief after her abduction, went into shock when recalling the night Kony forced her into sex, holding a pistol to her head...," Temmerman writes.
"...So many people are suffering as a result of the war, so it would be [proper] if the government gave them another hope to live and survive. Besides, some people have been compensated while others have not, I think it would be fair that all should be compensated because they all suffered the same, (or others even more) but have not been compensated or have been promised, but nothing has come of it yet," Acio argues.
"I have already forgiven him [Kony]," Acio says, quickly adding: "Because I felt it was no use holding him in my heart forever. I needed to let go and progress with my life, so I forgave him."
Acio went back to school and holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Ethics and Development Studies from Uganda Martyrs University, Nkozi and a Master's degree in Peace and Governance from the Africa University in Zimbabwe. She is now a lecturer at Gulu University.

Milwaukee, Wis. (PRWEB) June 17, 2013
FEI Behavioral Health, a national crisis management, EAP and wellness company based in Milwaukee, recently launched a redesign of its website at http://www.feinet.com. Through the site, FEI shares its expertise and training, as well as examples of how it has made a difference in the workplace through its "Resiliency Spectrum" of services.
For nearly 35 years, FEI has been a market leader in flexible, proven solutions for the full spectrum of workforce resilience goals.
"By helping individual employees build their resilience—whether it's guiding them through a personal crisis, providing resources for childcare or financial advice, or helping them cope with a large-scale disaster incident—we can also foster business resilience, which in turn leads to community resilience," said Ted Uczen, president and CEO of FEI.
The redesigned website offers a user-friendly hub for employers and professionals to understand the full spectrum of FEI services.
"The way we've structured our tools and resources online will help our customers no matter what the circumstance," said Ralph Metzner, director of product management. "They can engage and interact with the tools and take full advantage of FEI's approach to resiliency." Metzner played a key role in developing the new site.
The site's features include:
The site launch comes at a time of great growth at FEI. Since the beginning of the year, FEI has engaged in business partnerships with 47 new customers, including the U.S.D.A. Forest Service, Wisconsin National Guard, Catholic Charities and Atlanta Metropolitan State College, and has expanded its workforce by more than 20 percent. In addition, FEI has responded to an influx of speaking engagements, media interviews and article submissions. FEI's network providers number more than 9,000 counselors and behavioral health professionals nationally, and its EAP services cover nearly 2 million lives (with additional lives covered through the company's crisis work).
The social enterprise difference
The new website also highlights FEI's unique structure as a social enterprise, a business model that creates synergy between for-profit and nonprofit organizations. Profits earned by the for-profit company are automatically reinvested into the community through the services of the nonprofits.
FEI's involvement with its parent organization, Families International, is one of the nation's most successful examples of the social enterprise model at work. In the last 30 years, FEI has provided more than $30 million to help fund services at its sister nonprofit organizations within the Families International umbrella—the Alliance for Children and Families, United Neighborhood Centers of America (UNCA), and Ways to Work. These four organizations work closely with one another to benefit the children, families and communities they serve.
"Based on what we see across all our organizations, we can help FEI identify emerging needs as it continues to pursue new products, tools and services for workforce resilience," said Susan Dreyfus, president and CEO of Families International. "That type of combined effort is a key pillar in how Families International, and FEI as a part of it, brings value to our communities."
The launch of the redesigned website is another way FEI is committed to staying current with the needs of its clients and the business community.
FEI Behavioral Health delivers peace of mind to workers and their families through EAP, crisis management and work-life services. FEI established the first national EAP and is an industry leader in crisis management. It offers professional, user-friendly, 24-hour access to problem solving resources that result in better work environments. FEI Behavioral Health is part of Families International, Inc., a nonprofit membership organization of four closely-aligned, yet separate entities.

Asia Publications Conference gathers Lutheran translators
Held in Hong Kong, October 29 to November 2, and sponsored by the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS), the conference helped focus on issues related to translation. More than 60 attendees learned about the need for "translation briefs" to identify the source material, the target audience for which a translation is intended, available resources for developing the publication, and the process to be followed. Translation teams wrote goals that they intend to achieve under God's grace, during the next year.
The presenters at the conference were Dr. Ernst R. Wendland, who has served in WELS world missions for more than 40 years, Dr. Daud Soesilo of the United Bible Society, and WELS chief technology officer Mr. Martin Spriggs.
During the conference Dr. Wendland was asked to share with a wider audience his insights into the nature and importance of cross-cultural publishing. The resulting interview demonstrates many years of experience in the field of Bible translation in association with the United Bible Society.
An interview with Dr. Ernst R. Wendland
Dr. Wendland has been the Language Coordinator for Publications for the Lutheran Church of Central Africa since 1971. He is a visiting professor at the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa, in the departments of Old and New Testament Centre for Bible Translation in Africa. He is a retired Translation Consultant for the United Bible Societies (1977-2010). His latest book is Lovely, Lively, Lyrics: Selected Studies in Biblical Hebrew Verse (Dallas: SIL International, 2012).
What are some of the issues and circumstances being addressed in this conference?
In this conference we are focusing on the translation of Scripture-derived or -based texts—"Lutheran literature." We see major developments in the following areas:
- More non-print, multi-media translations are needed to cater to today's audio-visual, internet, cell-phone, and tablet-oriented world.
- More well-trained national translators are taking up the task in the WELS world of missions—many of them are attending this conference—sometimes replacing former missionaries from the United States.
- The technology of translation is continually developing to promote the more effective management and integration of translation-production teams, for example, through the use of a network of internet-linked computers—a virtual "cyberspace" for sharing, critiquing, and storing drafts in progress; the availability of a hypertext format of pop-ups and optional links to augment the central message being conveyed; and electronic publishing programs for quicker production of completed works, whether in-print or on-line.
- Finally, something that I am trying to promote this workshop, the careful contextualized adaptation of literature originally written for a rather narrow WELS readership/audience in the United States to "translation-friendly" texts that are more appropriate for readers in other language-culture areas of the world.
Why does it feel like there's an urgency to invest resources in the translation process now?
By the grace of God, as we witness at this conference, the Multi-Language Publications Committee (MLP) of WELS is currently able to carry out work in many different languages and a corresponding number of culture groups in the world. In many of these places, it is not possible (or we cannot afford) to send missionaries, either on a short-term basis or even at all. Via the internet, however, the whole world is virtually, if not actually, in range of God's saving Word. We should make use of these many outreach opportunities that the Lord is giving us both at home and away to present his Word of truth—biblical Law and Gospel—in a text, media, and/or web format that is just right for them. The encouraging thing nowadays is that, whereas in the past these translated publications were being developed for use mainly outside the United States, now, due to all the immigration of diverse peoples and the rapidly changing demographics of the United States, our literature can often serve as outreach material to specific ethnic people groups at home, right in the back yard of many WELS congregations, so to speak.

UAF, CSU sign veterinary program agreement
The University of Alaska Fairbanks has formalized its partnership with Colorado State University to bring a professional veterinary medicine program to Alaska.
UAF Chancellor Brian Rogers and CSU President Tony Frank signed the agreement during a ceremony in Colorado. The signing was broadcast live Thursday, Dec. 19, in the Murie Building's first-floor auditorium.
Currently, Alaska does not have a professional veterinary medicine program, despite Alaska students' strong interest in pursuing careers in veterinary medicine. In order to meet that need, UAF is pooling resources with one of the top-ranked veterinary schools in the nation. The program will give preference to Alaska students and is scheduled to start classes in the fall of 2015.
The partnership makes the program viable, since developing a standalone program would be cost-prohibitive for UAF.
Students will eventually receive their Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degrees from CSU, but their starting point will be at UAF. They will take up to two years of graduate courses at UAF and then complete their veterinary studies in Colorado.
The program will admit 10 Alaska students per year. If too few Alaskans apply or meet the admission standards, then the two universities will consider students from outside the Alaska applicant pool.
Dr. Mark Stetter, a veterinarian and dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at CSU, said he and other college leaders are pleased to collaborate with UAF as a way to provide new opportunities for students and faculty based at CSU.
"We are excited that the CSU Professional Veterinary Medicine Program is partnering with UAF, and we expect our new partnership will open doors to learning and discovery that are important for students, faculty and many others in the Colorado State University family," Stetter said.
He noted that Alaska is rich in natural resources, providing unique teaching and research potential on topics including wildlife disease and health, marine animal science, sled-dog medicine, and a variety of global public-health challenges that involve both human and veterinary medicine.
The veterinary program will be part of the UAF College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.
"The partnership between Colorado State University and UAF is paving the way for new educational opportunities that didn't exist going in," said CNSM Dean Paul Layer. "These students will be prepared for careers in veterinary medicine wherever their paths may take them."

WOW I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A VETERNARIAN, and here I am stuck being a computer scientist because you folks could sign this 15 years earlier? wow….
Ok, time for another degree..
On my way, … going to pack… needed an excuse anyway… miss alaska….fairbanks….need another suitcase….cat needs lessons for running into moose…No Riding On The Moose……yeah, Ok…
This is very cool, absolutely wonderful this will be included into the offerings at Fairbanks. Couldn't think of a nicer University for it to happen to. Wish I was there (seriously) Greetings, and Happy Holidays to all!

As a UAF student I was really upset when the Pre-Veterinary certificate program was suspended last semester. I had to strictly remain as an Anthropology major but this shocking yet exciting news changes everything! I will either become a double major or major in this program and get a minor in Anthropology. I shall make an appointment with my major advisor, academic advisor, and trio advisor! I am so stoked!

Botwood principal recognized for outstanding dedication
Botwood Collegiate Principal Jim Hibbs has a photograph in his office of a young man, all dressed up in a tuxedo, complete with an ear-to-ear grin.
© Andrea Gunn photo
Botwood Collegiate principal and recently named Administrator of the Year Jim Hibbs presents a Botwood Collegiate Class of 2020 backpack to future student Jennifer Dalley at an orientation event last week. Hibbs said his school goes above and beyond the regular orientation for grade six students coming in to try and instill a sense of pride before they arrive in the fall.
The photo, he said, is of a student some weren't sure would even finish high school.
Hibbs said the photo serves as a reminder to never give up on a student, even in the face of challenges.
"You've got to go to bat for the students every day," he told the Advertiser in an interview last week.
That philosophy of support and encouragement is something Hibbs says he tries to keep in mind every day he goes to work at Botwood Collegiate, or has he calls it Beautiful Botwood Collegiate (BBC).
"The motto of our (Botwood Collegiate), loosely translates to 'where there's a will, there's a way.' You can overcome any obstacle with support, and that's what we want to be to every student that comes in here," he said. "We just want to be that support and encouragement so they can achieve success."
It's a philosophy that's served Hibbs well over his 30-year career. Earlier this year, Hibbs was recognized by his peers for his outstanding efforts and dedication to his job when he was awarded the NLYA School Administrator's Council Distinguished School Administrator of the Year award.
Though perhaps the most impressive, it's not the first time Hibbs has been recognized for his work. The shelf above his desk displays a number of awards and accolades. Hibbs said as much as the Administrator of the Year award bears his name, everything he's been able to accomplish his career has been made possible by his team of coworkers.
"I've been fortunate to work with a lot of great people and great people tend to lift everybody, I think that's what's happened to me in my career," Hibbs said.
Hibbs grew up in South Brook, Newfoundland and went to school in Springdale. Upon completion of the 11th grade in 1979, Hibbs left home to pursue a university degree from Memorial at the age of 15.
"The way the school program was structured at the time there was a small elementary school with multiple grades in the same classroom. My teacher at the time thought that 'Hey you know he's got grade three all down pat, maybe I'll put him in grade four,'" Hibbs explained of his ability to complete high school so young.
Hibbs said while starting university at that age was challenging, he was lucky to have a support system of friends and teachers to help him along.
The decision to pursue a career in education is something Hibbs said came fairly late in his studies.
"I did a joint major in geology and geophysics…that's what I was thinking about at the time, and I remember one of my friends doing a work placement in (Labrador) during the summer. He came back and I just heard the horrific stories of the flies and I thought, 'I don't think I want to go there,'" Hibbs said with a chuckle.
You've got to go to bat for the students every day. Jim Hibbs
Hibbs graduated with an education degree as well as his double major, and started teaching at a small school in St. John's at the age of 20. From there, he moved on to Robert's Arm where he worked as a science teacher until trying his hand at the administrative side of things.
"The more projects I took leadership on with other people, it just seemed sort of a natural thing to evolve from being a teacher. The principal at the time retired so I decided to throw my hat in the ring, and was hired as principal in 1993."
Ten years later in 2003, Hibbs moved to Botwood and has been serving a principal at BBC ever since.
Hibbs said while being in an administrative role is very different from teaching, the connection you make with students is just as important.
"As principal I know I have a lot of interaction with students, a lot of my day is counseling," Hibbs said. "We have a very high needs population in our school so you're talking with students almost every moment of every day."
Hibbs said despite how difficult his job can be at times, having a great staff makes it much easier.
"I see (my staff) going above and beyond every day; you just try and be an example in that regard," Hibbs said. "It's a privilege to come to work every day."
Hibbs said no matter what challenges students and staff face throughout the school year, it's days like graduation day – seeing his students move out into the world – that make it all worth it.
"Those are the moments I realize what we do matters, and to get the opportunity to make a difference matters. A lot of people wonder about our future and wonder, 'who's going to take over, look at the youth of today, look at the issues,' but I'm not concerned a bit," Hibbs said. "We have some students that need a lot of attention and support but in reality I know are very capable to go out and take their place in the world. They're going to be good citizens and make a difference."

Morgan State spokesman Clinton Coleman said information about the meeting would be considered private student records.
"Whether or not there's a follow-up or a referral depends a great deal on what they find in the evaluation," he said. "But in the particular case of Mr. Kinyua, I'm not able to comment on that."
Steve Silverman, an attorney for Ceasar, said Wednesday that he plans to explore the circumstances of the meeting in more detail.
"The school had a number of telltale signs," Silverman said.
In hindsight, Ceasar said he recognizes that Kinyua displayed troubling changes in behavior. When women met Kinyua, they found him strange.
"Why are you friends with him?" Ceasar recalled them saying. "He's a creeper."
But Ceasar said he never judged Kinyua and found him smart — able to find parts at Home Depot for inventions Ceasar only thought of in concept. They played PlayStation together. Did push-ups together.
But then Ceasar noticed Kinyua kept a variety of weapons that included a machete and brass knuckles, authorities said. Ceasar said he watched Kinyua get a tattoo of a "portal" on top of his bald head.
On May 19, Rasin said, Kinyua took a nap and heard voices telling him Ceasar was a police snitch who was going to give him up on made-up charges. When Kinyua awoke, he waited for Ceasar inside his campus apartment. When Ceasar arrived, Kinyua surprised him. Caesar said the attack left him with cognitive issues and traumatic optic neuropathy caused by barbed wire striking a nerve.
Kinyua had believed Ceasar was involved in "domestic terrorism," Rasin said.
While Kinyua was on bail after arrest, Harford County authorities said, he killed and dismembered Agyei-Kodie in Kinyua's family home in late May or early June.
Because Kinyua's acceptance of the plea on Wednesday required that he be found competent to participate in court proceedings, delayed hearings in the Harford County case will likely proceed in January, Harford County State's Attorney Joseph I. Cassilly told The Baltimore Sun.
Cassilly said his office is paying a private psychiatrist to review the findings of the state's psychiatrists, because he questions whether Kinyua lacked criminal responsibility at the time he allegedly murdered Agyei-Kodie.
Cassilly said he wonders why Kinyua would dispose of parts of Agyei-Kodie in a dumpster, as he is alleged to have done, if he didn't understand his actions at the time.
"That somebody would take the time to dispose of the body?" Cassilly said. "Where does that act fit in terms of not being criminally responsible?"
A finding that Kinyua was not criminally responsible in the Harford case could open the door for a potential release back into the community — an outcome Cassilly said he is strongly against.
Byron Warnken, a criminal law professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law, said it is unlikely that a private mental health evaluation will reach a different conclusion.
"Another psychiatrist isn't just going to say, 'OK, fine, if you want him to be [criminally responsible], we'll go that way,'" Warnken said. "I assume that a psychiatrist is going to have enough professional integrity that they're not going to do that."
After Kinyua was admitted in June to the Clifford T. Perkins state psychiatric hospital, medical staff recorded him putting buttons in his mouth and claiming he was being fed rotten meat, Rasin said. He believed the police were tapping his phones and talked about inventions he was making.
"He believed he was imprisoned," Rasin said. "He believed his family was dead and replaced with impostors."
All of these documented instances led Rasin to tell the court that she was convinced Kinyua was showing symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia well before the attack on Ceasar.
The judge asked Kinyua if he realized his sanity was deteriorating over the past several months.
"It happened in small bits," the deep-voiced and soft-spoken man said, calling it "almost untraceable."
"Did you tell anybody?" the judge asked.
"I thought it was normal," Kinyua responded.

An Ohio Appeals Court has rejected an appeal in a domestic violence case. The Defendant, who allegedly beat his son with a belt, had argued self-defense and appropriate parental discipline.
The case is State v. McKinney, 2012-Ohio-4521.
The Defendant was convicted of one count of domestic violence, a felony of the fourth degree, against his 16-year-old son.
According to the son's testimony, the defendant came into his bedroom Jarred and appeared to be angry. The defendant told his son to take the dog outside, but his son argued that it was not his turn. The son complied, but when he got back the Defendant was removing clothes from the chest of drawers in the room.
The Defendant left and returned with a belt. He told his son to take his sweatshirt off so that he could "get a whupping." The Defendant then struck his twice in the back with the nonmetal end of the belt. During a subsequent struggle, the son received additional injuries, including a cut lip and a small cut near his left eye. The son walked to school, where his nose began to bleed again and he was sent to the office. He told the story to a Hamilton Police Officer.
The Defendant claimed that the he had punished his son for poor grades and bad behavior. The punishment included washing the dishes no use of his car, cell phone, and video games. He said that during the incident he told his son that if he didn't improve his grades, he would get a 'whupping." He said he attempted to strike his son in the buttocks with the belt but that his son lunged at him and tackled him onto the nearby mattress. During the struggle, he restrained his son on the mattress and smacked him across the face "with an open hand."
The Defendant suggested that he should have been permitted to tell the jury about his son' prior disciplinary history, including drug use. The court disagreed. The court said that the drug use "does not go to . . . his behavior leading up to the altercation, his response to prior noncorporal punishment, the location or severity of his punishment, or [the defendant's] state of mind while punishing his son . . ."The Defendant as permitted to testify that his son had a "disrespectful attitude" and that he had punished his son in a number of ways. The Defendant also testified about a past instance where his son had caused his mother to have a black eye.
The Defendant also argued that he should have been permitted to assert self-defense. The court said that the Defendant "essentially argues that he was exercising proper and reasonable parental discipline when he struck [his son] with the belt, but then acted in self-defense once Jarred tackled him . . ." self-defense was not appropriate because the defendant "initiated the altercation."
The law on this issue can become very complicated. Persons facing potential domestic violence charges, as well as victims, are encouraged to contact an attorney with significant experience in domestic violence criminal defense and prosecutions.

1) Give the link a special class:
Dynamic Drive
2) Wrap groups of links in a container with a special class:

 link 1 link 2 etc

Furthermore, you have the option of letting the visitor decide whether these links should open in a new window, by adding a checkbox to your page:
<form name="targetmain"><input type="checkbox" name="targetnew" checked onClick="applywindow(targetlinks)">Open designated links in new window</form>
The mere presence of this checkbox will cause the script to switch to "manual" mode.
