An Iowa couple creates a multilevel deck perfectly tailored for family get-togethers.
This eye-catching deck came about when the Iowa homeowners decided to trade their rickety, 14-year-old deck for an updated living space that facilitated family togetherness. They needed a deck large enough to seat a family of 12 for dinner. They also wanted multiple levels to eliminate a long single flight of stairs.
The result: a two-level cedar deck, wisteria privacy screens, two arbors with overhead latticework, and surrounding plantings. The top level of the deck, occupied by a gas grill and a small table and chairs, measures 20x14 feet. Stairs descend to the lower deck level, which includes two distinct areas. The larger of the two, built for the full family dinner table, is 15.5x12 feet.
An eye-catching arbor creates much-needed privacy. The overhead lattice features a pattern that alternates two copper pipes with 1x4 boards.
A 14-year-old sugar maple creates a stunning autumn foil for the deck.
The homeowners chose furniture patterned after pieces in Monet's garden at Giverny, France. Crafted from eucalyptus, this furniture is more durable than cedar.
Thin-profile cable railing preserves the view of the nearby forest. The cable all but disappears at dusk.
With a sidewalk beside the home and a much-used bike trail behind it, deck privacy is paramount. A striking arbor built with 6x6 posts and copper-pipe crosspieces supports an overhead lattice on each deck level.
Wisteria was planted beside each of the arbor posts and is poised to grow across the topmost lattice, where it will provide shade and screen the deck from bike-path traffic.
Rather than adjust their lifestyle to the limitations of a typical deck, these homeowners built one to fit the way they live. If you're planning a deck, you can do the same by considering these five factors.
1. Be size-wise. It's easy to underestimate how much space you'll need. Carefully think about how you plan to use your deck and what type of furniture groupings you desire.
2. Keep secrets. Guarantee privacy with lattice or vine-covered screens.
3. Light your nights. Position lighting to make evening cooking, serving, and eating a breeze. Always provide ample light near stairs.
4. Remember the grill. The No. 1 deck activity for most homeowners is grilling, so consider including a space designated solely for that purpose.
5. Choose functional furnishings. If space is at a premium, choose built-in benches or planters. Wide stairs can pull double duty as seats and walkways.

A method is provided for controlling the misordering of packets in packet delivery in radio access networks (RANs) and other packet-switched networks. In one aspect, the method involves reading header information to determine the proper sequence of arriving packets, storing at least some packets that have arrived out of order, and forwarding the stored packets in a modified order that has no more than a specified degree of misordering.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving a plurality of lower-level packets having respective sequence numbers;
reconstituting the lower-level packets as upper-level packets, wherein one or more lower-level packets are constituents of each said upper-level packet; and
forwarding at least some of the upper-level packets for further processing, CHARACTERIZED BY:
from some of the sequence numbers, determining that the constituents of at least one upper-level packet have arrived ahead of sequence by an amount DeltaSN corresponding to more than one sequential position; and
delaying the forwarding of said at least one upper-level packet if DeltaSN exceeds a specified limit corresponding to more than one sequential position
the amount DeltaSN is determined from a degree to which sequence numbers of lower-level packets are out of order; and
the specified limit is a limit on the amount by which the sequence number of an early-arriving lower-level packet exceeds the sequence number of the next-arriving lower-level packet.
2. The method of
while at least one said upper-level packet is being delayed, one or more upper-level packets which are sequentially precedent to the delayed packet are reconstituted and forwarded, thereby to partially reorder the forwarded upper-level packets.
3. The method of
the forwarding of one or more sequentially precedent upper-level packets during the delay causes DeltaSN to decrease; and
the delayed upper-level packet is forwarded when DeltaSN falls to the specified limit.
4. The method of
the forwarding of one or more sequentially precedent upper-level packets during the delay causes DeltaSN to decrease; and
the delayed upper-level packet is forwarded upon the occurrence of the earlier of: (a) when DeltaSN falls to the specified limit, or (b) a specified ceiling on the delay is reached.
5. The method of
the upper-level packets have a maximum permissible degree of misordering, referred to as p; and
the specified limit is set to a number of lower-level packets that may collectively constitute p upper-level packets.

This invention relates to packet-switched networks, and more particularly to controlling the order of packet delivery in such networks.
Several factors may cause packets to be delivered out of order in packet-switched networks. For example, a Radio Access Network (RAN) is a packet-switched network which includes an air interface and a backhaul connection. Packet retransmission over the air interface may cause packets to arrive out of order. In another example, load balancing across multiple T1/E1 lines or other interfaces over the backhaul may cause packets to be delivered over multiple connections, and for that reason to arrive out of order.
It is often preferable to have in-order packet delivery in a packet network, since the user application layer typically needs to receive the packets in sequence to correctly decode the packet stream. This is realized by using the packet sequence number to reorder the packets.
In a network description which follows a layering model, reordering can be applied at different layers. A lower layer uses the sequence numbers of its own data units, e.g., packets, to re-sequence and reassemble the upper-layer packet which is to be delivered. However, reordering typically involves the use of a buffer to store the early-arrived packets and wait for the late-arrived packets so that the packets can be re-sequenced. This buffering introduces extra delay and is not desirable for delay-sensitive applications. If, on the other hand, the upper layer could handle out-of-order packets, it might be possible to skip the reordering operation at the lower layer, and thus to avoid the extra buffering delay.
Furthermore, end-to-end transmissions often involve multiple segments and individually controlled networks. Packets may get out of order in any of the transmission paths. Reordering in one network segment does not guarantee that the packets will be delivered in sequence to the final destination. However, if each network segment performed a reordering operation, the cumulative effect could be to introduce an excessive amount of extra delay. Such a result would be particularly undesirable for multimedia applications, which are delay sensitive.
For the above reasons, among others, it would be advantageous for a packet network, especially one highly sensitive to overall end-to-end delay, to support out-of-order delivery of packets.
It would be even more advantageous if the degree of packet out-of-order delivery could be controlled. That is, the processing of packets in upper layers may be tolerant to greater or lesser amounts of misordering of packets. In this regard, "upper" is in relation to a layer, such as the IP layer, in which a certain amount of misordering is tolerated. By "misordering" is meant the arrival of a packet of higher sequential number prior to the arrival of a packet of lower sequential number. Thus, it would be advantageous to control the amount of misordering so that it lies within a tolerable range.
For example, the header compression layer may be able to handle late-arriving packets. It could be possible for the decompressor to successfully decode a packet arriving late with a sequence number smaller than that of the previously decoded packet. But if the packet arrived too late, the decompressor might be unable to decode the packet, and thus would declare a decompression failure and be required to discard the packet.
By way of illustration, we assume that the decompressor can handle packets misordered to the fifth degree. The decompressor receives packets 5, 1, 10, 2. The decompressor decodes packet 5 and then packet 1 since the degree of misorder is 4. The decompressor cannot decode 2 since its degree of misorder is 8, which is above the tolerance the compressor can handle. Packet 2 will be discarded although it is correctly received.
Thus, it would be advantageous to support both packet in-order delivery and out-of-order delivery in a packet network. It would be still more advantageous to control the degree of misorder of delivered packets based on system requirements and tolerance to packet misorder.
We have developed a method for controlling the misordering of packets in packet delivery in radio access networks (RANs) and other packet-switched networks.
In a broad aspect, our method involves reading header information to determine the proper sequence of arriving packets, storing at least some packets that have arrived out of order, and forwarding the stored packets in a modified order that has no more than a specified degree of misordering.
For purposes of illustration, the invention will be described in an exemplary embodiment for Radio Access Networks (RANs). It will be appreciated that similar principles may be applied in other packet-switched networks, both wireless and wireline, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.
In RAN, the radio link protocol (RLP) processes radio link packets are communicated between the access terminal (AT) and the radio network controller (RNC). The RLP layer uses the RLP sequence number for packet transmission and delivery. The RLP reassembles the upper-layer packet from one or more multiple RLP packet payloads and delivers it to the upper layer.
The RLP layer can fragment an upper-layer packet into multiple RLP packets. If RLP does not fragment the upper-layer packet, the RLP packet consists of one upper-layer packet. The boundary of the upper-layer packet in the RLP packet payload is indicated by two flags, namely, "FirstDataUnit", and "LastDataUnit", in the RLP header fields.
If the "FirstDataUnit" is set to 1, it indicates that the RLP packet payload is the first data segment of an upper-layer packet. If the "LastDataUnit" is set to 1, it indicates that the payload is the last data segment of an upper-layer packet. If both flags are set to 1, it indicates that the payload is a complete upper-layer packet. If neither of the flags is set to 1, it indicates that the RLP packet payload in a middle data segment of an upper layer upper.
These "FirstDataUnit" and "LastDataUnit" flags facilitate the reassembly of an upper-layer packet by the RLP layer. An upper-layer packet is considered completed if either of the following conditions is met:
For packet in-order delivery, the RLP layer performs re-sequencing and delivers the upper-layer packets in order. This is achieved by the RLP layer buffering the received RLP packet, examining its sequence number, and reassembling an upper-layer packet. If RLP detects a packet received in error, it discards the packet and advances the expected RLP sequence number (SN) of the next delivered packet. If a RLP packet is lost in transmission, the acknowledgement timer for this packet will be expired and the RLP layer advances the expected SN of the next delivered packet.
For packet out-of-sequence delivery, the RLP can deliver upper-layer packets out of sequence. In other words, the RLP packets which constitute an upper-layer packet are always delivered in order. But the upper-layer packet delivered by RLP might be delivered out of sequence.
If an upper-layer packet is encapsulated in a single RLP packet, the RLP layer can deliver the upper-layer packet immediately upon receiving a RLP packet which has a gap in the sequence number from the previously received RLP packet. If the upper-layer packet is fragmented into multiple RLP packets, however, the RLP layer will need to wait for all the data segments to arrive so that it can assemble a complete or partial upper-layer packet. In that case, the RLP packets constituting the upper-layer packet will be reordered properly. However, as noted, different upper-layer packets might be delivered out of order.
The algorithms for packet delivery are illustrated as follows. The RLP layer maintains four sequence number (SN) registers or variables:
That is, the registers listed above will respectively maintain the RLP sequence numbers of: The last-delivered terminal segment of an upper-layer packet, the last-delivered initial segment of an upper-layer packet, the terminal segment next awaiting delivery, and the initial segment next awaiting delivery.
Algorithm for Packet In-Order Delivery (
Store the packet in the buffer in the increasing order according to its SN number. Start the timer.
Examine the timer for packets stayed in the buffer.
If the timer expires, deliver the complete or partial packet to the upper layer.
For packet out-of-order delivery, the RAN can control the degree of misordered delivery by performing partial re-sequencing of the received packets. In other words, the RLP layer may still deliver the upper-layer packets out of sequence, but the degree of misordering is controlled by a configurable parameter p. For example, if the desired degree p of misordering is 4, the RLP is directed to deliver a pair of packets out of order only if they are out of sequence by 4 places or less.
Thus, one advantage of the method described here is that upper-layer packets can be delivered out of order, but with a controlled amount of misordering. Moreover, the configurable parameter p can be applied not only to upper-layer packets, but also to lower-layer packets such as RLP packets.
That is, the parameter p can be directly defined and controlled as, e.g., the degree of RLP packet misordering. If, moreover, each upper-layer packet is encapsulated into exactly one RLP packet, then p will also indicate the maximum possible degree of misordering of upper-layer packets.
Accordingly, the degree of upper-layer packet misordering can be controlled by directly controlling the degree of RLP (or other lower-layer) packet misordering. For example, suppose that all upper layer packets have the same size, which is equivalent to q RLP packets. Suppose further that the desired degree of upper layer packet misordering is p, and that each upper layer packet encapsulates q RLP packets. In such a case, the degree of RLP packet misordering should be limited by p*q.
In a further example, suppose that as above, the desired degree of upper layer packet misordering is p, but the upper-layer packets encapsulate a variable number of RLP packets which is not less than q. In that case, the degree of RLP packet misordering is advantageously limited by p*q to plan for the smallest possible upper-layer packets.
By way of illustration, we suppose the received complete upper-layer packets are sequenced 1, 7, 2, 3. (For simplicity, we here assume that an upper-layer packet is not fragmented into multiple RLP packets.) The RLP delivers packet 1 first, then holds packet 7. If packet 7 is delivered, then packet 2 arrives late and the degree of misordering is 5. (I.e., 7−2=5.) A degree of 5 is above the maximum degree permitted by the RLP.
In this example, the RLP will hold packet 7 and wait for the late-arriving packets. When it receives packet 2, the RLP will deliver packets 2 and 7 in order, since transmitting them out of order would violate the condition that the maximum degree of misordering can be no more than 4. When packet 3 arrives later, the RLP will deliver packet 3. In this case, the RLP will deliver the upper-layer packets in the order: 1, 2, 7, 3, which guarantees the maximum degree of misordering to be 4.
Algorithm: Packet Out-of-sequence Delivery with Controllable Degree of p (
By way of illustration, suppose the received RLP SNs are: 1, 5, 3, 4, 2. Assume that RLP 1, 2, 3are segments of an upper layer packet (e.g., a route protocol packet), and RLP packets 4 and 5 are complete packets. Using packet out-of-sequence delivery with controllable p=4, the RLP layer will deliver: 5, 4, (1,2,3). In this case, the degree of misordering is 1, since 5−4=1 and 4−3=1.
In a further example, we suppose the received RLP SNs are: 1, 8, 2, 3, 4. Assume that RLP 2, 3 are segments of a route protocol packet, and RLP packets 1, 8 and 4 are complete packets. So the RLP layer will deliver: 1, (2,3), 8, 4. In this case, the degree of misordering is 4. If there is no control on the degree of misordering, the RLP layer will deliver 1, 8, (2,3), 4. In that case, the degree of misordering will be 5, since 8−3=5.

Edison State College President Kenneth Walker addresses the board of trustees regarding the termination of Steve Atkins and Robert Beeson at meeting Tuesday. / ANDREW WEST/news-press.com
After the Board of Trustees meeting, District President Kenneth Walker said the blunt comments by student, faculty and trustees didnt surprise him. He has no plans, however, to conduct his business any different despite the onslaught of complaints.
I will do the same good job Ive been doing for 20 years, Walker said. Im ready, willing to meet with anybody at any time if they want to discuss genuine concerns in a professional manner.
Walker again criticized faculty for not approaching him with their concerns, instead taking to the airwaves and newspapers to state their positions. He said he wont engage in back-and-forth statements in the press.
I cant conduct the business of the college in the media, and I dont understand why they wont follow procedures to get their concerns addressed, Walker said.
8:30 p.m. update: The motion to request District President Kenneth Walkers resignation has failed, along with a motion to discuss Walkers employment at the boards November meeting.
This college can function without Dr. Walker, trustee Chris Vernon said. We need to act quickly.
Why should we crucify a man who has done so much for this college? trustee Washington Baquero asked.
Trustee Randall Parrish said the college should not pursue a major change two weeks before Edison welcomes an accreditation team to campus.
I dont believe losing his leadership at this point will do anything to help that, Parrish said.
Despite multiple 4-4 votes, Vernon said the board appears to be in consensus on Gov. Rick Scott making some long overdue appointments. One trustee term expired in June 2010, and three others expired in June 2011. Trustees continue serving until the governor names a replacement, and that individual must be approved by the Florida senate.
Weve sent a pretty strong signal that wed like the governor to act, Vernon said.
The four-hour, 11-minute trustee meeting has concluded, although trustees will reconvene for a separate charter school governing board meeting.
8:15 p.m. update: Trustee Washington Baquero has suggested that if the board wants to ask for District President Kenneth Walkers resignation, then they should resign, too.
The colleges problems may be Walkers problems, but theyre also the problems of trustees, Baquero said.
One of nine seats is vacant, and three others are overdue for replacements. The governors office has received 25 applications, but Gov. Rick Scott has not issued any appointments.
7:55 p.m. update: Trustee Julia Perry, who four hours ago suggested the board discuss District President Kenneth Walkers employment status, has now made a motion to ask for Walkers resignation immediately. The motion received a second, and trustees are discussing their possibilities now.
Were in trouble, Perry said. Too much has slipped through the cracks.
Perrys earlier motion resulted in a 4-4 tie, so the motion failed.
7:40 p.m. update: The Board of Trustees has voted 5-3 not to fire Robert Beeson, vice president of the Lee campus and district dean of arts and sciences, for the time being. However, the recommendation may reappear at trustees November meeting.
District President Kenneth Walker pushed termination because Beeson recommended that Dennette Foy, associate dean of professional and technical studies, be granted another annual contract despite her key role in approving hundreds of improper course substitutions. Beeson did not cite Foys role in a performance evaluation he completed in March, and the Board of Trustees issued Foy another contract that runs from July 2011 through June 2012.
Lupe said two other employees are subject to potential disciplinary actions, but he didnt name them.
The board may prepare a case against all three at the same time.
I dont want the board to continue to piecemeal, trustee Ann Berlam said.
6:30 p.m. update: The Board of Trustees has voted to fire vice president for academic affairs Steve Atkins for insubordination, primarily for directly contacting accrediting officials, expressing his dissatisfaction with the colleges organizational chart and failing to meet paperwork deadlines. The vote was 7-1, with trustee Chris Vernon dissenting.
Atkins started working at Edison in June 2007 as dean of the Charlotte campus, but soon was promoted to a district-wide leadership position. He resigned in March due to conflicts with his superiors, but returned in May following an outpouring of support from faculty.
Emails show Atkins and other began discussing the issue of course substitutions in August 2009, but Atkins claimed in a letter sent to Edisons accrediting agency that he learned of the problem in December 2010. That was inaccurate, Walker told trustees.
We are obligated, according to SACS standards, to put forth accurate, truthful information, Walker said.
As far as missing deadlines, Edison initially had a Sept. 27 deadline to submit all materials to SACS. The agency later granted a one-week extension, but Walker told Atkins to stick to the original deadline. Atkins was late in turning over the materials though, and Walker himself had to deliver materials to FedEx.
This is considered insubordination and put the institution at risk, Walker said.
6:45 p.m. update: General counsel Mark Lupe advised trustees on the process of terminating an employee for cause. Two administrators, Steve Atkins and Robert Beeson, are facing termination this evening.
If the board chooses to fire either or both, the ex-employees would have 21 days to file a case with Floridas Division of Administrative Hearings, Lupe said. DOAH then would assign an administrative law judge to hear the case, but the judges findings are only recommendations.
Edisons Board of Trustees would have the final say to accept or reject the judges recommendation. From there, a former employee could file a lawsuit in court.
Atkins and Beeson both have retained the same attorney, Patrick Geraghty of Fort Myers.
6:28 p.m. update: Trustee Chris Vernon, who is a private attorney, is continuing to grill District President Kenneth Walker, this time asking why Walker never mentioned anything about Edison State College staff appearing before the Florida Senate last week. Vernon read about it in the newspaper.
It did not occur to me that this rose to the level that we needed to have someone at the board level attend, Walker said.
Edison general counsel Mark Lupe and dean of professional and technical studies Mary Myers appeared Thursday before the senates higher education appropriations subcommittee, testifying about improper course substitutions and the lack of accreditation for the baccalaureate nursing program. The committee has asked Walker to attend a future meeting.
Vernon also inquired why Walker never questioned the fact that a nursing accreditation team failed to visit campus, considering program documents showed that visit should have happened two years ago.
It didnt occur to me, Walker responded. I rely on the members of my administration team and staff to take care of things that need to be done. My role is not to be in the operational details of the institution.
Vernon started a new thought, but interrupted himself: When we move onto a new president Vernon began to say, the college needs someone strong with operational oversight.
As district president, Walkers role is to oversee long-range planning and strategic initiatives, but hes traditionally relied upon an executive vice president or senior vice president to manage day-to-day operations. There presently arent any administrators at that level.
6:10 p.m. update: Trustee Chris Vernon has been grilling District President Kenneth Walker as to what he knew when with regards to nursing accreditation. The college began its baccalaureate nursing program in August 2009, but didnt apply for program accreditation until April 2011.
Vernon wants to know why Walker didnt inform the board until August 2011.
On such a critical issue, why would you wait four months, Dr. Walker, to tell us about it? Vernon asked.
Walker could not recall when he first knew the program lacked accreditation and did not explain why he waited until August to brief trustees on the issue. The National League of Nurses Accrediting Commission has since granted candidacy status to Edison, but full accreditation could take up to two years. Nursing students with degrees from unaccredited programs often are denied entrance into graduate school. To date, about 100 students have received bachelors degrees in nursing from Edison.
5:52 p.m. update: Trustee Ann Berlam said the Board of Trustees has been charged with hiring individuals, firing individuals and approving a discrimination settlement. Its heard reports about improper course substitutions and the lack of nursing accreditation, findings in a state audit and other issues.
Collectively, these issues have caused a stain on the college, Berlam said.
Berlam plans to offer a motion that would authorize a third-party review to scrutinize administration from top to bottom. The college had delayed an outside review until later this year so it wouldnt conflict with next months visit from an accreditation team, but Berlam wants that review to get started as soon as possible.
We must take steps to restore confidence in this institution, she said.
District President Kenneth Walker said the uproar among faculty has been orchestrated through the media, chastising professors for not following the proper communication channels. He said faculty continue to surprise him and invite media to meetings, but not administration.
Lets work together to address your legitimate concerns, Walker said. I always have done that, and always will do that.
Walker added that those opposing the colleges baccalaureate degree programs and charter schools want Edison to move backward, not forward. He deemed the abundance of improper course substitutions and the lack of four-year nursing accreditation as regrettable events, saying that although he is not responsible for them happening, he is taking responsibility for making sure they dont happen again.
5:25 p.m. update: Trustee Chris Vernon asked Erin Harrell, interim vice president of academic affairs, if the college would be better served with her in that position or her predecessor Steve Atkins. She didnt answer the question, though.
Harrell has served on accreditation teams in previous positions, but never with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Atkins has a lengthy record of work with SACS in Florida and North Carolina.
Harrell said she would do the best job she could through at least June, when SACS Commission on Colleges will make a decision on reaccrediting Edison for another 10 years. The college plans to search for a permanent vice president for academic affairs.
5:10 p.m. update: A total of 24 students, adjunct instructors and faculty addressed the Board of Trustees. None spoke in support of District President Kenneth Walker, and most called for his resignation or termination.
The public comment period has closed, and the discussion has moved to regular items on the board agenda. Interim vice president for academic affairs Erin Harrell will provide an update on accreditation and faculty senate president Don Ransford is scheduled for a brief report before Walker gives his regular report. Its unclear what issues Walker will discuss, but two decisions on terminations are later on the agenda.
4:30 p.m. update: Several students and faculty have approached the board, demanding District President Kenneth Walkers resignation or termination.
Rico Ducatel, student government president on the Collier campus, compared Walkers tenure to that of building the Roman empire. It took a long time to build, but fell quickly. On behalf of 4,000 students on the Collier campus, Ducatel demanded Walker end his 20-year career at Edison.
With another firing on tap, student Barbara Cox said it appears Edison is firing whistleblowers. Atkins and Beeson both approached human resources in February with concerns about discriminatory hiring practices.
I am a student at Edison State College, so you cant fire me, Cox said.
4:10 p.m. update: Trustee Julia Perry made a motion to add an item to todays agenda discussing District President Kenneth Walkers employment. Four trustees Chris Vernon, Ann Berlam, Perry and Randall Parish voted in favor of discussing the item. Trustees Mahlan Houghton, Washington Baquero, Mary Lee Mann and JoAnn Helphenstine voted against it.
A tie fails, said Mann, who is chairwoman.
Walker has been Edisons president since July 1991, but has come under fire for his compensation package and leadership. Faculty senate took a vote of no confidence in April, and approved a resolution earlier this month calling for Walkers resignation.
4 p.m. update: Edison State College plans to fire Robert Beeson, according to a document added to todays Board of Trustees agenda. The document references a letter sent to Beeson, but board information made public does not include that letter.
Beeson, vice president for the Lee campus and district dean of arts and sciences, has worked at Edison for 16 years. He started in January 1995 as an adjunct instructor of philosophy, and worked his way up to associate dean, district dean of instruction for arts and sciences, and interim district vice president for academic affairs.
This afternoons Board of Trustees meeting at Edison State College is packed, despite the change in venue to accommodate a larger crowd. All 150 seats were full 10 minutes before the 4 p.m. meeting was scheduled to start, and extra chairs are being brought into the room.
In the audience are administrators, faculty, students and even some community members, the latter two of which rarely attend trustee meetings. Two minutes before the meeting was scheduled, the first trustee Randall Parrish entered the room. Trustees had an executive session earlier in the afternoon to discussion negotiations with the faculty union, which declared an impasse last month.
3:15 p.m. update: Another vice president at Edison State College has either been suspended or fired.
Robert Beeson, vice president of the Lee campus and district dean of arts and sciences, was told to pack up his belongings Tuesday and leave campus immediately. He is the fourth high-ranking academic leader to depart this month.
College spokeswoman Teresa Morgenstern refused to say whether he was fired, suspended or reassigned.
I cant comment at this time, she said.
The issue will be discussed at this afternoons Board of Trustees meeting, she said. The meeting starts at 4 p.m. in Building AA on the Lee campus.
Just 11 days ago, Beeson told The News-Press that he and District President Kenneth Walker had not spoken in three weeks. He called a faculty meeting Oct. 14 for professors to air their concerns with the colleges administration and ask questions about accreditation, leadership and governance.
This afternoon, Walker plans to recommend that the Board of Trustees fire vice president for academic affairs Steve Atkins, who has been suspended since Oct. 11. Two other accreditation leaders, Maureen McClintock and Roberta Buczyna, resigned Monday.
Beeson boxed up his belongings and was escorted to his vehicle.

PHENIX, VA — Extension recently hosted a series of tobacco production and GAP certification meetings across Southside Virginia. The three meetings, held in Blackstone (at the Southern Piedmont AREC), South Hill and Scottsburg, focused on flue-cured tobacco. Roughly 100 people were in attendance. A fourth meeting, held at the Midway Baptist Church outside Phenix, addressed dark fire-cured tobacco and burley production and drew over 60 people. The meetings were also opportunities to get pesticide recertification and thus attracted some non-tobacco producers. [Read more…]

She sees Plath as "a godless version of Ecclesiastes' Preacher."
There between the third and fourth version of "Sheep in Fog" is the shift that sets Plath floundering and signals her desperation.
Plath writes in the kind of third-person interior monologue she often used for her short stories and early fiction.

Stayed here so many times. Hotel " Casa Blanca" has always been my first choice when staing overnight in Mexico City. The hotel is close (10 min. walk) to the historic centre of Mexico City.
Rooms are clean. Last August I reserved a double-bed room but while arriving all rooms were occupied so they put me in a huge room for the same price.
Staff is helpfull and friendly. Less point is restaurant. However there are many restaurants just around the corner on Paseo de la Reforma to choose from.
There is a taxicervice outside. Not cheap but always available. Especially if you need a very early ride to the airport. Ask for " Mario" !!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- located in the political, economic and cultural heart of Mexico City, just a few steps from the most important avenues of the city: Reforma and Juarez.Our professionally trained staff will always offer you the most friendly service, anytime, everytime. ... more less

We love this place. Might not be a 5 star accommodation but you get the comfort of a clean, newly renovated room, quiet and safe area, convenient to transportation either by bus or by train, has 2 grocery stores nearby and lots of restaurants around. They're currently undergoing renovations so would really like to go back when it's all completed. Would like to give credit to the very friendly and helpful staffs especially to Essia, Houria, Abdel and Nouredine. You made our stay more pleasant. Would definitely recommend this place and would like to
come back again. I am happy and satisfied with my short stay in Prince Albert Wagram.

One great thing about working for HuffPost Food is that when we're not talking about the stories we're writing, we're probably talking about what restaurant we went out to, or what we cooked for dinner last night. We're thankful for the fact that we get to write about what we love, and that when the workday ends, we're never tired of the subject matter. We're thankful too, that readers share this passion, and they like to read about topics we find so fascinating. In the office, we've been known to argue about if we prefer bone marrow cut length-wise or cross-wise, and have lengthy discussions on the glory of pig ears. We're also not above diving into some fast food french fries.
In honor of Thanksgiving, we've rounded up a few of the dishes, restaurants and other assorted scraps that have made us really thankful for such a vibrant food culture in the United States. We wish everyone a great Thanksgiving and let's raise our glasses to some especially good food.
Sometimes you hear about a dish so much, that when you finally get the chance to taste it, you're bound to be disappointed. But when you try it and it actually lives up to the hype, if not exceeds it, that's when you know that a restaurant has really created something awesome. The fried quail at State Bird Provisions is one of those dishes. This San Francisco restaurant was thrust in the spotlight this year thanks to accolades from Bon Appetit, Esquire and many more. So why is the quail -- which is in fact the state bird of California -- so great? It all comes down to balance. It's not too salty, not too greasy, and the fry is crispy and just right. You don't feel gross or heavy after eating it. Actually, I felt pretty darn elated. -Carey Polis
True confession: When I volunteered to write a profile of the heads of Victory Brewing Company for HuffPost Taste in October, I had an ulterior motive. I knew that in order to get my hands on this year's bottling of the Downingtown, Penn.-based craft brewery's Moonglow Weizenbock, my favorite of their dozens of beers, I would have to go to the company headquarters. Because this year, the entire batch was being sold on draft in the Victory brew pup -- apparently, it just doesn't sell nearly as well as signature Victory beers like HopDevil and Prima Pils. Which is a shame -- because in my humble opinion, this high-alcohol, high-ester wheat beer is by far the best beer they, or any other East Coast brewer, has on offer. It tastes like an intoxicatingly beautiful love-child of banana bread, mango sorbet and rye whiskey. The only thing I'd change would be to make it available all year long in every beer vendor across the country. -Joe Satran
Eating a soup dumpling (xiaolongbao) for the first time, as I recently did, isn't as easy as it looks. One misplaced bite on the wrong dough fold will sent the dumpling's hot, fatty juices spurting out in all directions. To prevent disaster, take a modest nibble at the top and drink vigorously until the liquid is gone. Then set to work on the dumpling itself. I love the ones at Nan Xiang Dumpling House in Flushing, Queens, which are criminally cheap for their quality. -Rachel Tepper
Everyone needs a restaurant where they can go for take-out when they get home late and don't feel like cooking. It's the restaurant they go to when you had a bad day, or the restaurant you go to when you're just really hungry. Often people define comfort food as the type of food they grew up with, or classic American fare such as macaroni and cheese or chicken pot pie. My comfort food is neither of those things. It's Ethiopian food. I think it started when I lived in Italy a few years ago, and I noticed an Italian restaurant owned by an Eritrean man. They had one dish on the menu that I recognized that featured injera, the famous spongy bread found in Ethiopia and Eritrea. I ordered it, and he was confused, because no one ever ordered that. I grew up outside Washington D.C. though, a city with a huge population of Ethiopians, and once I explained that to him, he immediately understood. To me, eating an Eritrean/Ethiopian dish in Italy reminded me of home. Several months ago, a new Ethiopian restaurant opened on my block on Brooklyn and I've found myself addicted to scooping up the spicy lentils, lamb and collard greens with the injera. It most definitely is comfort food, but the kind of comfort food I enjoy learning more about each time I try something new. -Carey Polis
One of the joys of living in New York City is certainly the availability of excellent tacos nearly any time day or night. I'm lucky to live nearby an outpost of Oaxaca Taqueria, a small joint that whips up amazing fish tacos (flash fried and dressed lightly with lime juice), succulent braised pork, or carnitas (tender to the bite and wonderfully complemented with fresh cotija cheese) and slew of other specials that constantly make ordering a challenge. -Rachel Tepper
Total foodie cliche, I realize, but absolutely essential. I got my first one as a gift from a family friend years ago. That one got dented when I was moving from one apartment to another; I kept using it for a while, but it didn't do the trick. But I recently replaced it with a fresh new one, and my faith was restored. I end up using it most often to grate Parmigiano-Reggiano (over almost anything), but it has so many other uses. Don't leave home with out one! -Joe Satran
I wear my turophile badge with honor -- I often will eat cheese for breakfast, or as a snack before I go to sleep. And La Tur is one of the cheeses that works great, no matter what time of day it is. A mix of cow, goat and sheep milk, La Tur is creamy, oozy and extremely spreadable. It just the slightest bit of "animal" taste to it, along with flavor notes you might recognize from a fresh chevre. I actually don't buy this cheese too often, because when I do, it disappears too fast. -Carey Polis
Who doesn't love buffalo wings? Nobody. Who doesn't love pig tails? Way too many people! They're cheap, they're incredibly succulent and fatty, and they embody sensible nose-to-tail butchery. The solution, as imagined by Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo, the genius chef-owners of Animal in Los Angeles, is to treat pig tails as if they were buffalo wings, deep frying them into crisp perfection, coating them in a bright red sauce eerily reminiscent of Frank's Red Hot and then serving them, with a sprinkle of celery leaves, on a bed of blue cheese dressing. I admit that I am a little late to this particular game -- but that just makes me more grateful for the fact that I made it out to LA this spring to finally try it. -Joe Satran
No, not the string instrument. In the kitchen, a mandolin is a tool for slicing potatoes or apples or anything else into perfectly uniform slivers, which help me make impressive gratins or pies that look much more complicated than in reality. My OXO V-Blade Mandolin Slicer cost about $50 and remains one of my best investments to date. -Rachel Tepper
Regular poutine -- frites doused in gravy and melting cheese curds -- is one of the great vernacular foods of the Western World. Certainly Canada's greatest contribution to the world this side of Justin Bieber. But once you add yjr Quebec delicacy smoked meat -- which is somewhere between pastrami and brisket -- it becomes divine. I find it hard to fathom the fact that I'd never tried the smoke meat poutine at Mile End in NoHo and Brooklyn until this fall. But recently, I've had to put my romance with the gluttonous dish on hold. Not because I've gained too much weight as a result of eating it -- though I have -- but because one small but significant victims of Hurricane Sandy was the Mile End smokehouse in Red Hook. The restaurants have been smoked meat-less for weeks. We hear that the pipeline will finally be restored on Monday. And for that I am deeply thankful. -Joe Satran
Woodberry Kitchen is a ways from my apartment -- a few states away, in fact. But when I head to my home state of Maryland I make sure to stop by, preferably at brunch when I order the Cherry Glen ricotta pancake with blackberries, butter and maple syrup. Judging by size alone, it's hardly a normal pancake. Just look at it! Despite its massive size, the pancake is light and airy courtesy of the creamy ricotta. -Rachel Tepper
I've had my fair share of Thai food -- or the American rendition of Thai food -- but it wasn't until I visited Jitlada in Los Angeles this year that I completely fell in love with the cuisine. Jitlada, which specializes in southern Thai food, offered such a range of flavors and combinations that I had never tasted before. I only wish I lived closer, as there are so many more dishes I want to work my way through. -Carey Polis
My iPhone is lovely and all, but it's no substitute for a real camera. My Canon Rebel t2i is indispensable when it comes to documenting my most delicious meals. Of course, a good camera is only half of the equation -- good light is essential. The t2i isn't Canon's newest camera on the block, but even at a few years old it more than gets the job done. -Rachel Tepper
For beginners, wine tasting is often extremely challenging. Sometimes I simply cannot taste the cassis notes that you claim are there. That makes the moment all more exciting when you discover a wine on your own that you finally go "Yes! I love this! This is great!" Kung Fu Girl Riesling was that wine for me. It's everything I want from a Riesling -- a little on the sweet side without being overpowering, and the kind of wine you can drink several glasses of. It's great for summer, but I'd drink it year-round. -Carey Polis
There's a certain Time of Night, After Going Out -- That ravishes, like a hike Up a tall Mountain -- Ungodly Pangs, it gives us -- We can hear the sounds, Loud Internal Rumblings, Where our stomachs, are -- One may quench it -- Wo Hop -- Down on dark Mott Street A duck chow fun Purveyor Open until Six -- When we go, we order Amply -- Wontons -- come out fried -- When we leave, 'tis like the Gladness On the taste of Foie. (With thanks to Emily Dickinson) --Joe Satran

On this particular day I was a little unlucky as a sea-mist blew in at the crucial moment of photographic capture, plus the fact she was weaving her way down the river out into the open sea quite quickly. This was her leaving her home port for the last time to take up a new berth in the north of England.
Her most famous claim to fame was the ship and named the "Charlotte Rhodes" in the BBC series "The Onedin Line" during the 1970's.

BBC One axes Me And Mrs Jones
BBC One has declined to order a second series of new relationship sitcom Me And Mrs Jones.
Created and written by Fay Rusling and Oriane Messina, the series followed the blossoming and unexpected romance between single mother of three, Gemma Jones (Sarah Alexander) and Billy (Robert Sheehan), the new 20-something friend brought home from a backpacking holiday by her adult son, Alfie.
After years of being a mum rather than a woman, Gemma suddenly found herself drawn between the attentions of the young and exciting Billy, and those of sensible, stable, but slightly boring single-father, Tom (Nathaniel Parker).
The cancellation leaves fans with an unresolved cliffhanger as to the characters' fates.
Speaking to The British Comedy Guide today, Messina and Rusling said: "We were obviously disappointed to hear Me And Mrs Jones didn't get a second series. We had such a wonderful crew and cast on the show and Sarah and Robert's on screen chemistry was palpable.
"Despite the show having such amazing, passionate fans and online support with one of the highest commented-upon blogs on the BBC site we just didn't manage to get the viewing figures in a very competitive time slot. It's sad when any show ends, and those six episodes explored a relationship we are sad not to conclude properly - but in your heart you know which way Gemma went."
The series ran for six episodes during October and November 2012, but failed to secure high enough ratings in its 9:30pm Friday slot to ensure a recommission. It faced varied and strong competition including I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, an England football match, popular discussion show Piers Morgan's Life Stories, and a two-week break between its fifth and sixth episodes, making way for Children In Need. The break resulted in a dramatic audience drop to 1.72 million.
Averaging more than 2.5 million viewers across the series, individual episode figures were broadly comparable with many of those achieved by Would I Lie To You? and Live At The Apollo in the same slot in Autumn 2011.
Whilst it divided opinion on our forums, Me And Mrs Jones proved to be the second most visited programme guide at The British Comedy Guide during its transmission, losing out only to BBC Two's Hebburn throughout the whole of the Autumn and early Winter period. It also attracted plenty of comment on microblogging network Twitter, with a notable inclination in favour of the show, particularly from the under-served female demographic.
Despite the axing of the series, star Sarah Alexander evidently proved popular with BBC One bosses as she stars alongside Rob Brydon in the channel's Christmas trailers:
The following clip shows Billy and Gemma together in the second episode of the series:

Listen to the band play "Fall in Line" (Suffrage March) composed by Zena S. Hawn. This tune was at the top of the program at a special tea held on February 9, 1915 to celebrate the birthdays of Susan B. Anthony and Dr. Anna Howard Shaw. My grandmother was one of about 30 women on the planning committee for the event at the Hotel Biltmore in New York City. I used the 1915 program as a guide for planning a Susan B. Anthony party in Santa Fe during February. Birthday parties and elegant teas in honor of suffrage leaders were common during the women's suffrage movement, and we're falling in line by carrying on the tradition. Celebrate Women's History Month by having a party with your friends and organization. A teapot, some tea and cookies. That's all it takes. If you're looking for a program, rent "Not For Ourselves Alone" which is about Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. It's also available on Netflix instant play. Screen it in advance. Roll out the tea and sweets and have a great time!

Introductions ... Part 1
First name on the riders team sheet was, obviously enough, me. I had no idea if anyone else would be stupid enough and have time enough to attempt a ride like this with me, so when I came up with the plan, I was prepared to do it alone ... or at least large stretches of it alone.
The bike I was riding was the rebuilt X-Challenge that featured in last years Morocco ride report - http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=727119
The modifications are numerous and detailed on the bike build thread here: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=524638, but for purposes of being brief ...
The big ticket highlights are:
- Hyperpro Shock
- Marzocchi twin chamber 50mm forks, resprung and revalved
- Hot Rod X-Tank (9.5litres)
- Hot Rod X-Rack
- Hot Rod KTM 690 Rallye fairing assembly
- Excel Rims (A60 up front)
- Scheffelmeier bash plate
- Rayz seat
- HID50 projector lights, ballasts and bulbs
- SR Racing exhaust
- Assorted hard parts from Scheffelmeier, Hot Rod and Adventure-Spec
- Terry Browns prototype X-Challenge oil cooler
I used the Giant Loop Fandango tank bag, a 49 litre (not the big one) Ortlieb roll bag on the back, but the main panniers were a product (Magadan Bags) that I had been developing over the last year or so since nothing else did the job, now produced and distributed by Adventure-Spec.
When the bike emerged from the workshops of Hyperpro and Hot-Rod just 10 days before departure, it looked like this:

Israel has halted the peace talks in the wake of Wednesday's decision by Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas to sign a reconciliation agreement.
As Israel-Arab negotiations continue to founder, an unlikely meeting in Manchester between an Israeli and a Palestinian offers a positive reminder that harmony is possible — outside the political sphere at least.
The formula for overcoming the current crisis in the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations can be found and the parties may get back to the table for another few months.
Israel and the Palestinian Authority have agreed to continue talks for the next two weeks in an attempt to reach an agreement on extending the negotiations for another nine months.
Aside from this, very little, if anything at all, seems to be agreed on.
Jewish Home party leader Naftali Bennett has threatened to quit Israel's governing coalition if a group of Palestinian prisoners are released in a last ditch attempt to save the peace process.
Ron Pundak, one of the leading figures behind the Oslo Accords, has died aged 59 after a long battle with cancer.
In early 1993, while the official negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians in Washington were failing, a secret back channel with the PLO was opened by Mr Pundak together with fellow academic Yair Hirschfield - first in London, and then Oslo.
The so-called peace talks are now on life-support but the surgeon has given up and left. Things must be bad when John Kerry resorts to the blame game. But by singling out Israel as the primary destroyer of the talks, Mr Kerry was merely echoing the childishness and bone-headed politicking that has characterised these negotiations from day one.
Marathon talks were still ongoing this week in a last attempt to save the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.
Meanwhile, in Washington, US Secretary of State John Kerry, who put so much personal effort into launching the talks nine months ago, appeared to be placing most of the blame on Israel for their failure.
In the week in which the Israeli-Palestinian talks appear to be collapsing, it is worth re-examining some of the factors that have led to a breakdown in the peace process time and again.
In 1977, Yigael Yadin, the second chief of staff of the IDF, expressed the dilemma that has faced every Israeli administration in two brilliant sentences.
The talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority were on the brink of collapse this week.
By Wednesday, the Americans had suspended their role as go-betweens, Israel had refused to release the last tranche of prisoners and the PA had formally requested recognition as a member-state from international organisations.

Thank you! Well, I think of myself as a humble working man.... and I blush easily! :-) That's a very kind thing to say. Your words bring happiness to my day. Your Friend, TH
sorry have to double-comment: your new song Colour of the Eve - just WOW!
Karsten, You know how I feel about The Electric Era and your songs. Among the finest power pop/rock that I have heard. To receive such positive notices for my songs from you is indeed an honor. Thank you! Your Friend, TH
Mister B, Coffee and Cake, Kate! There are just so many good songs here. Today I revisited Pencil: superb lyrics setting a unique, small-town vibe, great melodic progression, and then when you think you've heard the song it takes you to a whole other level.
The Color of The Eve touches me close and it's a new favorite - Your guitars and bass playing and arrangements are excellent -you're a master in that - Your voice here is so special, impressive - Bravo!
Fernando, You set a high standard for creativity and artistry that I continually admire. I'm honored by your positive comments, and grateful for your friendship. Your Friend, TH
"The Color Of The Eve"....really a beautiful and moving song Tom!!! Love the mood and build ups within it, really well written!
Thanks, Anthony. As a songwriter yourself, you can appreciate the joy that comments such as yours bring. I greatly appreciate your kind words. Your Friend, TH
"The Color of The Eve" is a winsome, thoughtful caricature of someone recalling sweet, heady memories. Upon initial listen, one may consider the tune "Beatlesque", given the tone of the voice and the sweet acoustic guitar. The listener is drawn in by the delightful, crisp simplicity of the guitar, chords layered with individual picks - flawless - and a clear, ringing vocal which is both mellow and purposeful. The transition to a more layered arrangement is welcome, as the acoustic is then accompanied by keys and drums, lifting the intensity and message without being overpowering. And then, mellow again, back to a lovely combination of voice and guitar. There was one point I thought the song was going to end - and had hoped it would, only because it "felt" right, but this is not a criticism as much as a personal observation of my listening. Tom's talent is solid, unmistakable, and fluid - as he delivers another quality offering to we mere mortals. :) - Chris Munson
Hi Chris! Thanks for this thorough assessment of "The Color Of The Eve". Very kind of you! Congratulations on your excellent new release, Fresh Daisy. Great album. Your Friend, TH
Loving "The Color of the Eve" !!!
Blown away by 'Washboard'. Fabulous work!
Thanks, Exile, for your kind words about Washboard, and for mentioning it on FB. Very much appreciated! Your Friend, TH

The biggest concern is that Hispanic students are finding it tough to hang on in the district beyond sixth grade. About 3,370 Latino children -- more than 60 percent of the total Latino student population -- are in the unaccredited district's elementary schools. But fewer than 75 Hispanic students graduate each year. "Something happens to those children when they reach middle school," says Yvonne Vasquez Rangel of the Coalition of Hispanic Organization's Education Committee. "It's puzzling. We're trying to figure out where those kids are."
The coalition fears the missing students have dropped out. It's doubtful that Hispanics are going where many white kids in the district go after elementary school -- private schools -- although the coalition is investigating that possibility.
Hispanics are the fastest-growing minority population in the metro area, but the school district's focus remains riveted on other racial issues. "It's been black and white," says coalition president Christina Esteban. So the Hispanic coalition is preparing to play hardball.
Shut out by Mayor Kay Barnes and the Urban League of Greater Kansas City (a major patronage power in the school district), the Hispanic coalition went to the press this fall and successfully demanded a seat on the highly secretive "collaborative" committee that is apparently trying to prevent a state takeover of the district.
Once on the mayor's committee, the Hispanic coalition's representative, Mary Lou Jaramillo, on October 16 criticized a letter of support Superintendent Bernard Taylor was to present to the state board of education on October 19. While the letter outlined at length the concerns of the African-American community, there was nothing about Latinos. Jaramillo pointed out that 13 percent of the district's students are Hispanic.
Clinton Adams Jr. -- a black man whose reputation as a longtime meddler in district affairs won him a seat on the mayor's committee despite his apparent lack of official responsibility with any significant local organization -- disputed Jaramillo's facts during the secret meeting, saying that a mere 5 percent of student enrollment is Hispanic. When Jaramillo reiterated her hard statistics, Adams reportedly said "he did not care about Latinos," according to an e-mail summary of the meeting from Jaramillo to fellow Hispanic coalition member Sandy Aguirre-Mayer. (Adams would not comment to the Pitch.)
That night, Esteban addressed the school board and re-emphasized statistics on Hispanic students in the school district. Then she challenged the superintendent to invite a Hispanic scholar to serve on his panel of educators from around the country advising the superintendent on rehabilitating the district. Later that month, a Hispanic educator joined Taylor's panel.
The coalition, formed in 1985, shifted its focus to education in 1999 after members heard activists and professionals speak at a national conference of Latino educators in San Antonio. Two months later, the coalition had organized an educational summit where parents, students, educators and community leaders set goals that included increased hiring of Latino teachers and principals in district schools, greater cultural awareness in education ("not just black and white") and greater student retention in the district.
Coalition members say they're starting to understand what it takes to get things done in the district. "We're a little more savvy," Jaramillo says. In coming months, the group plans to comb the community for school board candidates to run in April's elections. "We're not here to create animosity," says Rangel. "We just want a place at the table."
