The Journal Sentinel education reporters offer news and notes from their beat
Marquette committee is charged with examining use of adjuncts
The Marquette University Academic Senate on Monday charged a committee with figuring out how many adjunct faculty teach at the university on a regular basis and determining whether some should receive contracts, higher compensation or health benefits.
The Committee on Academic Policies and Issues will take up the issue during the 2009-'10 academic year.
The decision came after a new report from the university's faculty council urged administration to study the use of adjuncts, saying Marquette has a moral obligation to compensate them fairly.
While a variety of people fall under the "adjunct" or "contingent" label, at issue are those who teach regularly at Marquette and do not have other full-time employment. Adjuncts earn $3,000 to $5,000 per course and do not receive health benefits.
Some 41% of Marquette's teaching workforce is part-time instructional faculty, according to 2007 data from the United States Department of Education.
Faculty Council Chair William Thorn said it's important for Marquette to be proactive in its approach to the faculty mix, especially because a large segment of professors are at or near retirement age – meaning the university has an opportunity to mindfully shape future hiring.
Associate Professor of English Christine Krueger said one of the goals of the committee should be to examine how other institutions have dealt with adjuncts. Nationally, the use of adjuncts and non-tenure-track faculty has risen sharply at colleges and universities.
"This is a national issue. It's not that Marquette has behaved in a perfidious manner," she said.
Krueger pointed out that adjuncts choose to stay and teach at Marquette year after year despite the salary.
"We haven't been willing to toss them to the curb, like other institutions have," she said.
Vice Provost Margaret Bloom urged the committee to have a timeline because a previous group had been charged with examining the very same topic and nothing came of it after two years.
Thorn said the group would be held accountable and acknowledged that the university hasn't yet adequately addressed the issue.
"This is intimately tied to the issue of the professoriat at Marquette…What should the professoriat look like? What proportion should be tenured faculty? We have skirted this issue over the past couple years," he said.

Anyone who has struggled with any kind of mental health issues at all knows that support is a major part of recovery. It simply doesn't happen by yourself. A support group or support system doesn't work just because there are a lot of people involved. They work when the person seeking support emotionally buys into them. A group that is an effective support for one person may not be for another. The difference is the emotional investment.
What defines whether or not you experience a support system as offering real support to you. To believe that a group offers genuinine support for you there are 4 things you must come to believe:
When these four conditions are met people emotionally invest in the process. Then we can see. The real magic in life is what we do with other people and what they do with us.

Animals at the extremes: Polar biology

The extreme challenges of life in the polar regions require the animals who make their habitat there to make many adaptations. This unit explores the polar climate and how animals like reindeer, polar bears, penguins, sea life and even humans manage to survive there. It looks at the adaptations to physiological proceses, the environmental effects on diet, activity and fecundity, and contrasts the strategies of aquatic and land-based animals in surviving in this extreme habitat. This unit builds on and develops ideas from two other 'Animals at the extreme' units: The desert environment (S324_1) and Hibernation and torpor (S324_2).
By the end of this unit you should be able to:
- define and use, or recognize definitions and applications of each of the bold terms;
- outline the special features of the polar regions as a habitat and list some contrasts between the Arctic and the Antarctic;
- describe some effects of daylength on feeding, fat deposition and reproduction in arctic animals;
- explain why the environmental controls of appetite, activity level and fecundity are essential adaptations to living at high latitudes and describe some physiological mechanisms involved;
- describe some adaptations of fuel metabolism and bone formation to dormancy in bears;
- describe the metabolic control of prolonged fasting in breeding polar bears and penguins;
- explain the use of comparative studies to identify anatomical and physiological adaptations to thermal insulation in aquatic and terrestrial endotherms;
- describe some adaptations of the blood, respiratory system and muscles of fish to the polar environment;
- explain the role of fatty acid profiles in investigating the diet of polar vertebrates.

Say what?
I don't take myself too seriously, love a good laugh, like to be around people who can cut up with me, and can get along with just about anyone. I don't mix well with snobby and pretentious people. My family is important to me, and I have been fortunate to have two amazing parents, two brothers, and a sister that I love to spend time with and admire. Life is an adventure, and I love to make it more epic with a great trip. I have been to every major city in the US, Canada, and over 13 countries. I am looking for someone who has the same core values, spices things up with adventure, has a strong sense of who she is and knows what she wants. I am looking for a confident woman who enjoys life, loves to laugh, isn't serious all the time, doesn't enjoy life as a drama, and just wants to have fun! I am looking to see if we get along, spend casual time together, and then decide if the relationship is worth pursuing. This whole summary thing makes absolutely no sense to me considering I still won't know anything about you and trust is earned not given by match.com. Looking for someone who can earn my trust and vice versa. Send me an quick message if you are interested.

Testors Cream and Red were used and custom decals were made for the graphics. The #5s and roundels are 70's vintage MPC items, and they cracked badly during application. Light weathering was done with baking soda and light gray paint.

o Should I Apply?
To help you decide whether you wish to apply for a Fulbright, ask yourself the following questions:
o Do I Need to Study Overseas?
The core of the Fulbright application is the argument you make for the necessity of studying abroad. The Fulbright Scholarship Board is unlikely to support a project that can best be completed right here in the United States. If you cannot make a strong case for why you have to study in a foreign country to achieve your academic goals, you should seriously consider not applying for a Fulbright.
o Do I Want to Study Overseas?
Are you genuinely enthusiastic at the prospect of studying or researching overseas for a year? Living in foreign countries - especially developing countries - is often extremely challenging. Do you have the personality that will enable you to thrive in such circumstances? Try to assess honestly how you would cope with the difficulties of living and studying abroad. A successful Fulbright year would depend in large part on your willingness and ability to live outside your comfort zone.
o Is My Academic Record Strong Enough?
Although there is no minimum grade point average requirement, successful applicants to highly competitive countries (e.g. Australia, Canada, France, India, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, South Africa, Spain, and the United Kingdom) normally need to have very strong academic records. Successful applicants to less competitive countries (e.g. Albania, Haiti, Moldova, Paraguay, Rwanda, Uzbekistan, and Yemen) normally only need to have good academic records. All the same, your academic record is only one of many factors in the selection process. An applicant who has a stellar academic record, but who submits a weak application, performs poorly in the campus interview, and has only lukewarm letters of support is unlikely to be selected over an applicant who only has a strong academic record, but who submits an excellent application, performs extremely well in the campus interview, and has enthusiastic letters of support.
o Can I Get Three Good Letters of Recommendation?
The Fulbright requires three letters of recommendation. These are usually written by Duke faculty, but need not be. Fulbright winners normally solicit letters from persons who are willing to write in enthusiastic support of their Fulbright project and their ability to complete it successfully. Generic testimonials from "famous" people do applicants little good. Nor are references from professors who taught candidates in one large class likely to include the very detailed information that Fulbright selection committees value. The best letters of recommendation are written by persons who have a close, and preferably long-standing, relationship with the applicant. If you do not have such a relationship with three potential referees at present, now is the time to start developing one. Don't assume your professors remember everything, or indeed anything, about you. Give them as much information as possible about you and your Fulbright project. Remind them about the courses you took from them. Show them the term paper for which you got an A. Talk to them about your Fulbright proposal. Show them drafts of your application. In short, the more they know about you and your proposal the more likely it is that they will write a letter that will impress the Fulbright selection committees. Finally, and very importantly, ask for your letters of recommendation well in advance of the campus deadline. Your referees are busy people. If you ask them at the last minute, they simply may not have the time to write anything more than a perfunctory testimonial.
o Do I Have the Time and Energy to Commit to the Application Process?
Applying for a Fulbright Grant demands considerable time and energy. A substantial amount of time in spring and early summer should be spent researching study options and meeting with advisers and potential referees. Over the summer, you should work on drafting and polishing your essays. During the first few weeks of Fall Semester, you will turn in your application and prepare for the campus interview. Candidates who apply for a Fulbright at the last minute generally submit weaker applications. The time commitment is very manageable if you plan ahead.
o How Do I Compare with Past Winners?
Consult the file of recently successful Duke Fulbright candidates. These essays will give you an idea of the range of successful proposals submitted in recent years. Be sure that you are reading essays corresponding to your academic level (e.g., graduating senior, Ph.D. student).
You should now be able to decide whether you wish to apply for a Fulbright.

Confirmed fights:

Shaping up to be an awesome card. Three massive fights. Already looking better than most of what UFC is putting out these days.
Fight of the year, as far as I am concerned.
Except whatever Wandy does. MMA without Wandy is just not MMA.

Dan Henderson will push Jake Shields around more than Robbie Lawler did. Melendez is pretty strong for his weight, and while I like Aoki overall I can see Gilbert Melendez grinding out a decision.

I can see Aoki getting worn down and knocked out. If Melendez doesn't put him away after the 3rd round, Aoki will probably take it.
Mousasi is a beast. I don't see King Mo even taking him down.
Hendo is good at grinding out fights, and he has KO power. I don't see Shields subbing him, so I think Hendo takes it fairly easily.

The Case of Aceh, Indonesia10/07/2013
Patrick Barron, Erman Rahmant, Kharisma Nugroho
From The Contested Corners of Asia: Subnational Conflict and International Development Assistance.
Aceh is the best example in Asia of the transformation of a violent conflict into an enduring peace. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) of 2005, signed by the Indonesian government and the Free Aceh Movement (GAM), brought a three-decade war to an end. Eight years on, peace continues and few expect large-scale violence to reemerge. This report looks at development assistance to the province since the peace agreement was signed and asks whether, and in what ways, it has supported the war-to-peace transition. The report draws on new data including a large perceptions survey, locality case studies, a stock-take of aid, and key informant interviews. The report also utilizes official statistics, violence data, and previous studies of aid and conflict in Aceh.

Columbia City senior Devin Rice contends for a loose ball against an East Noble defender Saturday morning. The Eagles traveled to Kendallville for a scrimmage in preparation for the season with the regular season opener Tuesday. City starts off the season playing host to Central Noble in a varsity only match at 5 p.m.
The Columbia City gridiron was open for business for the first time in the 2010 season Friday night. The Eagles played host to Goshen in a scrimmage in full contact. For three series the two squads switch between offense and defense running plays from different areas of the field. Next week, the Eagles get their first taste of the regular season with Warsaw coming to Max Gandy Athletic Field.
After 520 wins under Hall of Fame coach Wayne Kreiger, Columbia City will be looking for its first under Amy Shearer, if the WCCS board OKs her at its meeting Monday.
The former player and assistant under Kreiger has been chosen as the heir apparent to Kreiger's 33-year throne that is Lady Eagles basketball.
At Monday's the Whitley County Consolidated Schools board meeting a vote will make it official effectively making Shearer head coach.

WARSAW — One day after opening the season, it's back to the heat and grind of the busy girls' golf schedule for Columbia City.
Wednesday, the Lady Eagles followed up a ninth-place finish in the Snider Invitational with its first dual match of the season at Stonehenge Country Club.

With two golfers in the 40s, it wasn't enough for City as it lost 185-199.

With all of its golfers back from 2009, City fielded a veteran squad to take on 16 other teams from across northeast Indiana.
The Lady Eagles came away in the middle of the pack taking ninth with the help of five scores within four strokes of each other.

All our jewellery comes in purple tissue paper and a pretty handmade paisley print pouch or box. Rings sizes K - T 1/2 stock depending. We are happy to exchange sizes for you. Please note: all sizes are approximate as the rings are all handmade. Measuring your ring size: Measuring diameter: this is the easiest method but only works if you have a ring that already fits the same finger that you would like the ring for. Use a ruler to measure across the inside edge of the ring in centimetres. Measuring circumference: use a measuring tape no wider than (2cm). Do not use a piece of string or thread as this will follow your finger too closely and record an incorrect size. Measure the circumference of your finger by wrapping the measuring tape around your finger, making sure it slides easily over the knuckle. Using a pen, mark the tape at the point where it overlaps. Now measure the length in centimetres from the start of the tape to the pen mark. made from: Sterling Silver. To keep clean we recommend using a silver polishing cloth. dimensions: Total length of ring on finger, approx 1.1cm. Available in these sizes, stock depending: K: circumference 5cm, diameter 1.58cm.

Philosophy on Exercise
I believe the most important key to fitness and health is consistency. It is coming to the understanding that fitness is a journey not a destination. I also believe that having health physically is connected to a persons' mind and emotions, and I desire to help people find more confidence in their overall well-being.
Personal Interest & Hobbies
I really enjoy going to the beach, being with my family and friends, watching movies, going dancing, and reading. I am a big advocate on holistic health, and I mentor teenagers, and lead a young adult group at my church. I enjoy going on mission trips and being a part of events to help poor communities in our nation. Some hobbies of mine include a passion for sports; my love for soccer aided me in playing at the collegiate level. I also love basketball, football and hockey; and enjoy traveling, and taking random road trips as well as hiking, snowboarding and sometimes surfing.

Thanks to the flawless styling of Giovanna Randall's feminine, bold, and beautifully tailored pre-fall collection, I am resassured that I will never tire of the bright fuchsia and flame red combo. I'm also especially crazy for the leather peplum blouse, the gleaming red blazer, green printed trousers, and the black lace babydoll dress – all of which I will be keeping my eyes peeled for when Honor's e-commerce launches in 2012!
Night Shift
(from here)
Paris Bombay
The cavernous chamber of the Galerie Courbe in the Grand Palais was temporarily transformed into a magical backdrop for Chanel's new Metiers d'art collection, inspired by India's Maharajas and lavish palaces. Tables were set with tiers of fruits, sweets, and flowers. Models, with khol-rimmed eyes, donned jeweled tikkas down the middle of dreadlocked hair. And this is just a sliver of the many extravagant details. Check out the beautiful footage below and see how pieces from the collection came together at embroidery house Lesage and button and jewelry atelier Desrues.
It Takes Two
Crayola Wildfire
If you look closely, you'll notice that these 3 dimensional sculptures are made from hundreds of thousands of Crayola crayons! Artist Herb Williams, who is one of the few individuals who has an account with Crayola (WTF!), wanted to raise awareness through sculpture for the wildfires that have recently ravaged the state of Texas. Unwanted Visitor: Portrait Of Wildfire consists of 5 five swirling flames, which over time would melt and change shape due to weather conditions. The project is display till the end of the year in Lubbock, Texas at the National Ranching Heritage Center.

This isn't saying one staff member isn't doing their job well.
Too many mistakes can be made when you perform your own calculations by
hand, and a software program will ensure that you don't miss anything by guiding
your through the process step-by-step. It is always
beneficial to hire the bin rather than buying one.

If you're reading this, you've most likely finished Marvel's incredible mini-series "spider-men" and will probably be going "what the heck??" at that ending.
If you haven't read the issue (if not, GO it's awesome) the long and short of the ending is Peter Parker returning to his own universe pondering whether his universe has its own Miles Morales. He searches Miles Morales on Google (thankfully not using Bing like the movie Parker) and is shocked by what he sees; the reader however does not find out, so by now you can probably see where I'm going with this.
Who is 616 Miles Morales? What shocked Peter so much? Is Miles an extremely successful business man? Is he a world class doctor? Or is he an international crime lord? The number one Spidey fan?? The mind boggles at the possibilities! So I'm handing it over to you guys; who do you think Miles is in the 616 universe?

Moving to SF from DC in August.

So fun! - I like sharing what I have with my friends and teaching them what I know (hip hop and swing dance, improv, program evaluation). - I follow Jesus. - I love the strawberry shortcake at Max's Opera Cafe. - I love Brene Brown's TED talk on the power of vulnerability (4th most popular, millions of views). - In college, my friends and I built a machine that skips stones -- one stone skipped times on the river. - I love the view of the Charles River and Boston skyline from the red line T subway line when crossing from Kendall T Stop to Charles MGH. - I love poutine. - I am an ENFP/J. Professionally, I am passionate about poverty alleviation/ community development, innovation, effective philanthropy, social entrepreneurship, and high-impact nonprofits. Personally, I enjoy spending time with friends, organizing social outings, traveling, going to museums and cultural events, and brainstorming ideas. * Who I'm looking for: Someone who seeks balance too: wanting to play and enjoy life, while desiring a deep connection and seeking answers together. Someone age appropriate, attractive, intelligent, socially adept, thoughtful, empathetic, and true to their Christian faith.
