(ABC 6 News) -- These below-average temperatures and wet fields are having an impact on local farmers. That's especially true when you compare this year to last year.
April showers usually bring May flowers. But this week, they're bringing are farmers wet fields, and a delayed planting season.
"We're at mother nature's mercy. So whatever she says goes," said Ryan Buck, the Vice President of the Board of Directors for the Minnesota Corn Growers Association.
If this were last year, Buck would be just two days away from planting corn on the family farm in Goodhue. This year, he's at least two weeks away.
"It's a big difference what a year makes," said Buck.
He says last year was great; but it was also a fluke.
"As far as being on track, or behind; this is kind of a normal year, really," said Buck.
"Last year our crops were really good. It's one of the best crops we've ever had, so we were lucky," said Steve Carlson, Buck's father-in-law and fellow farmer.
This year, it's just a lot of waiting and watching the weather.
"I guess if we're not planting by the first of May, people will start to get pretty excited I think," said Carlson.
"Right now, we're pretty calm. Talk to me in a couple weeks and we'll see," said Buck.
Buck says he would rather wait to put the seeds in the ground, if it means the rain will keep coming. He says any little bit helps when we're in a drought.

Feel Free to Bitch About Your Boss on Facebook; Government Has Your Back
Categories: Apropos of Nothing, Media
In short, your job has all the growth potential of prison's death row, and your boss -- you're pretty sure -- is the lovechild of television's Donald Trump and Michael Scott.
Well, you could always quit. But then again, these days it's not that simple. In this horseshit economy, no one else is hiring. Besides the grass ain't exactly greener elsewhere. The overworked masses everywhere despise their jobs.
So what can you do? Well, there's always Facebook -- a place where you're free to share your true feelings about your employer with all your closest Internet friends. And now you can do so with the confidence that the federal government has your back.
That's because yesterday the National Labor Relations Board sided with a woman fired from her job after making critical remarks about her boss on Facebook. The woman made the comments during off-work hours from her home computer.
As the Associated Press reports today, federal labor law protects workers against reprisal for talking to colleagues on their own time about employment conditions, including comments critical of bosses. And that right extends to employees regardless of whether they're part of a union.
"It's the same as talking at the water cooler," Lafe Solomon, of the labor board, tells the AP. "The point is that employees have protection under the law to talk to each other about conditions at work."
Okay, allow us to chart your next move: Re-friend your boss on Facebook and deliver the news.
P.S. No need to be kind about it.

Harold and Rusty Hansen purchased the property in March 1982. They are the third family to have owned this home. This Federal style home was built circa 1871 by the Steele family from materials right on the farm. It still has the original slate roof, heart pine floors, and large wrap-around porch. The Hansens have spent much time, effort and love in the restoration and preservation of this beautiful plantation style home. Over the years, they have gathered old photos and stories about the family who originally built and lived at Oak Ridge Farm which they are happy to share with interested guests.
About The Owners
Harold and Rustina (Rusty) Hansen are the third family to own this home since it was built by the Steele family in 1871. Oak Ridge Farm has hosted many weddings and events over the years; hayrides, bonfires, and BBQ's, graduation celebrations, and birthdays to name a few. The beautiful landscaped grounds and antiquity of this old Southern, Federal style, home adds to the atmosphere of the occasion.
Harold and Rusty traveled all over the Western Hemisphere while Harold worked for IBM before settling in Mooresville, NC, in 1982. They appreciated meeting new people wherever they journeyed to and so it was natural for them to want to extend that same hospitality they had experienced to others traveling to the Piedmont. The Hansen's have been sharing their home as a Bed & Breakfast for over 25 years. They have enjoyed meeting many wonderful people from around the world.
Harold has worked as a manager of strategic planning, business process improvement, and business continuity for several large corporations. He takes pleasure in horticulture and has personally designed and planted the landscaping at Oak Ridge Farm. Harold enjoys teaching adult bible classes. Rusty has been an educator for many years and stays involved with students through tutoring and as an educational therapist.
The Hansens are grateful to God for their four grown children and nine grandchildren; as well as the privilege to live in such a beautiful location.

History of the Old Baptist Chapel
The Wilderness Years
The church now entered the most barren period of its long history and its survival can only be ascribed to the mercy of God. The last baptisms had taken place in August 1899 and the last additions by transfer in September 1900. There were to be no more additions until November 1937. The Sunday School dwindled and closed in 1912.
From 1912 until 1918 the church received the regular help of William Small who had earlier been pastor of Providence Chapel Cheltenham. He had come to live in the town but never joined the church and so was not pastor.
In 1914 the chapel was redecorated and a new heating system installed, being opened again on 4th November 1914 in the early months of the First World War.
At some point in the nineteenth century the church had been included in the Gospel Standard list of churches although there is no record of the church itself voting to give its approval to this step. Inclusion on this list requires adherence to an extreme statement of Hyper-Calvinism, which includes the denial of the sufficiency of Scripture as a guide for evangelistic preaching.
The church's name was removed from this list at the time the troubles of the early years of the century but was replaced in 1927, when the secretary of the Gospel Standard committee wrote to say 'that the Committee will replace the Church on our List of Churches providing the Church will only admit into the pulpit such Ministers as approve of our 35 Articles of Faith'. Again this action was taken without any formal indication in the records of the church; the negotiations were conducted on behalf of the church by a trustee who was not a church member.
By the 1930s the extinction of the work appeared inevitable. The two remaining deacons were Job Humphries who died in 1932 and Harry Hart who died in 1936. By this time the congregations were tiny, the buildings were in urgent need of renovation and many of the services were being held in the vestry.
Undoubtedly a fatalistic spirit engendered by Hyper-Calvinism underlay the weakness but there had also been a grievous lack of love in church relationships at the time of the difficulties at the beginning of the century and possibly earlier. Together these errors doctrinal and practical brought about this state of near collapse.
It needs to be remembered that what was happening at Bradford on Avon took place against a background of evangelical weakness nationally. Evangelicals were in retreat in all the big denominations in the 1920s and 1930s. While there were churches and ministers who were maintaining the faith in their own churches and in some cases seeing some advance, nationally Evangelicalism suffered a severe slump. In England it had succumbed to Arminianism and the doctrines of the Reformation were hardly grasped and certainly not widely taught.

Despite increased emphasis at all levels of government on the importance of family to the fabric of society, there is limited acknowledgement that same-sex couples are capable of constituting a family, and that same-sex couples (and gay people who are not in a relationship) have children, or have caring responsibilities to others within their immediate family, or indeed are members of their immediate family.
Two key legislative developments have made a difference; first, the Adoption and Children Act 2002 in England and Wales enables same-sex couples to be considered for adoption, and the Civil Partnership Act 2004 makes explicit reference to the responsibilities of a civil partner to their family. The Civil Partnership Act also grants next of kin rights to same sex couples. These legislative developments, however, do not necessarily reflect general progress. For example, there is still a degree of invisibility at school, within the workplace, and within government policy, and this has a significantly detrimental effect on lesbian and gay people and their families.
When lesbian and gay families are acknowledged, it is often in a negative context. It is erroneously assumed that gay parenting has a negative impact on the upbringing of children, and does not constitute a "real" family. This makes it difficult for same sex couples to feel able to be open about their relationship and family status to health care practitioners, or to social care providers.
In 2010, The Centre for Family Research at the University of Cambridge conducted interviews for Stonewall with 82 children and young people who have lesbian, gay or bisexual parents to learn more about their experiences both at home and at school. The study, Different Families, found that very young children with gay parents tend not to see their families as being any different to those of their peers. Many of the older children said they saw their families as special and different, but only because all families are special and different - though some felt that their families were a lot closer than other people's families. The report found that children with gay parents like having gay parents and would not want things to change, but that sometimes they wish that other people were more accepting.

NYFW S/S '10: Shiseido @ United Bamboo
Shiseido @ United Bamboo
Dick Page, Shiseido's Artistic Director, created the look at United Bamboo!
Get the Look
- Face: Dick lightly applied Shiseido Makeup Dual Balancing Foundation where needed. He then applied a Translucent Loose Powder over the entire face to create a smooth, matte surface. He then dusted the new Luminizing Satin Face Color in High Beam White (WT905) and Soft Beam Gold (BE206) under the eyes and cheeks, and applied more Soft Beam Gold contouring the cheeks.
- Eyes: Dick used the Smoothing Eyeliner Pencil in Brown (BR602) to the upper and lower lash lines, blending with a brush. To give a softer look, he applied the Luminizing Satin Eye Color in Cavern (BR708) from the Fall 2009 Makeup Collection over the Smoothing Eyeliner Pencil.
- Lips: Lips were prepped with Aquafor and a dab of foundation to soften the pink of the lips. Next, the new Perfect Rouge Glowing Matte Lipstick in Whisper (RD722) from the Spring 2010 Makeup Collection was applied like a lip liner and patted to fill in the rest of the lip.

Scholarly Life
Stanford Law School's faculty continues to engage in scholarly work that is both important and relevant. From their pioneering research on vexing constitutional and intellectual property issues to their historical inquiries that upend conventional wisdom, our faculty members continue to push legal frontiers and influence policymakers and leaders throughout the world. Equally notable is how much of the work is located at the intersection of different disciplines political science, sociology, computer science, education, and neuroscience, to name only a few-advancing the law school's commitment to exploring multidisciplinary approaches to complex legal problems. A full listing of this scholarship can be found on individual faculty bio pages from the Faculty Directory. Here, we offer a mere glimpse into their many endeavors.
Faculty on Point | Professor Joseph A. Grundfest on Bitcoin: Is it a Security?
Professor Joseph A. Grundfest discusses the payment network bitcoin and explores whether it satisfies the "investment contract" test under federal securities laws.
Faculty on Point | Professor John Donohue III on Guns and Crime

Scholarship: Trading at the Speed of Light
What does Einstein's Theory of Relativity have to do with securities law? According to Joe Grundfest, JD '78, potentially quite a lot. In collaboration with two University of California physicists, he's intent on figuring out how it impacts the timing of information dissemination in today's era of high-frequency trading (HFT).
Point of View: The Hobby Lobby Decision
Of all its cases last term, the Supreme Court's decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby attracted the most strident criticism. The Court held that Hobby Lobby, a family-owned, for-profit corporation that operates a successful chain of craft stores, could not be compelled to pay for health insurance covering abortion-inducing contraceptive drugs where that would violate the sincere religious beliefs of the owners. This was greeted by many commentators as an assault on women's rights to contraceptive services and as an improper extension of religious freedom rights to corporations.
Scholarship: Stanford Securities Litigation Analytics
Congress, the Supreme Court, and the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), at one time or another, have justified securities class actions as valuable "supplements" to SEC enforcement of the securities fraud laws. On the other hand, the business community and many legal scholars and commentators have criticized securities class actions as abusive excesses of the plaintiffs' bar. Which claim is correct is an empirical question that must be answered with data, according to Michael Klausner, the Nancy and Charles Munger Professor of Business and Professor of Law.
Scholarship: Poverty Law
After more than 20 years serving low-income clients, many attorneys would be suffering from "compassion fatigue," professional burnout, or a combination of the two. But not Juliet Brodie, director of the Stanford Community Law Clinic. Named associate dean of clinical education and director of the Mills Legal Clinic in the spring of 2013, Brodie is as energized and as motivated as ever to take on the legal issues confronting the poor.
"This is the 50th anniversary of Lyndon Johnson's declaration of the 'War on Poverty,' but we are still living in two Americas—one rich, one poor," she says. "It seems like the perfect opportunity to rededicate legal education to a serious examination of this subject."
On Trolley Cars, Blame, and Other Diversions
The recriminations flying back and forth in the wake of the mortgage crisis were bugging Barbara Fried. Were the banks to blame? Were the people who took out mortgages they couldn't afford to blame? "How about we don't blame anyone?" she asks, discussing her recent Boston Review article, "Beyond Blame," which laid out the disastrous public policy consequences of our fixation with assigning personal blame whenever anything goes wrong. "How about we talk instead about how to fix the problem?" • The article was a one-off piece for Fried, the William W. and Gertrude H. Saunders Professor of Law, but very much in keeping with her skeptical approach to philosophical and moral ponderings and her eagle-eyed evaluation of how general moral principles get translated into contemporary public policy decisions.
Fried studied English and American Literature at Harvard as an undergraduate and graduate student. But her heart was always in law, says Fried, a three-time recipient of Stanford Law School's John Bingham Hurlbut Award for Excellence in Teaching.
Scholarship: Beyond Originalism: Lessons From History
Michael McConnell has a keen interest in how history can help us understand current constitutional issues. His research frequently begins with unearthing early controversies over constitutional provisions and then analyzing how those discussions could inform contemporary debates. Moving past the politically charged debate over "originalism," and whether we should be bound by early understandings of the Constitution's meaning, McConnell says the past can provide "more grist" for examining today's political debates.
"The past often gives us a greater purchase because it's so hard to divorce ourselves from [today's] partisan aspects," says McConnell, the Richard and Frances Mallery Professor of Law, director of theStanford Constitutional Law Center, and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution. "The past can liberate us from that kind of presentism."
Scholarship: Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar Governing Security
Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar spent much of his childhood in the Texas Rio Grande Valley and then in California's Imperial Valley on the U.S.-Mexico border. It was during this time, he says, that he first observed the power of law and the importance of public policy.
"The government had the power to establish legal rules about matters such as immigration and public safety, but the border was porous, making it difficult to reconcile theory and practice," says Cuéllar (MA '96, PhD '00). "I learned the world is complicated and messy, and people's lives are affected not only by how law is written but how it's enforced."
Those early observations deeply influenced Cuéllar and led him to a career that brings together law and policy, academic research and government service. It also led to publication earlier this year of his first book, Governing Security: The Hidden Origins of American Security Agencies, an account of developments affecting the architecture of U.S. government and its approach to security.

Scholarship: Nora Freeman Engstrom on the Contingency Fee Cost Paradox
The spark for Nora Freeman Engstrom's interest in "settlement mills" came at an unexpected moment while she was watching the 2004 World Series. One law firm ad stood out because it ran over and over again—with the lawyer in the ad enthusiastically encouraging clients to bring their cases to his firm for a quick settlement. "I had to wonder how a local law firm could possibly generate enough profit to purchase expensive ad time during the World Series. What was going on there?"
Since then, Engstrom, JD '02, has learned a lot about settlement mills, as she calls these high-volume personal injury law practices, and how they resolve a staggering number of claims each year—with virtually no meaningful client interaction, rarely filing lawsuits, and almost never taking claims to trial. Today, her research is filling a significant gap in existing scholarship on how legal services are delivered and marketed at these settlement mills and the profound implications they have on legal ethics, tort law, and the operation of the civil justice system.
Engstrom's study of settlement mills led her from private practice to academia, from Washington, D.C., to Stanford. It also left her with a lingering question. Read more »
Scholarship: The Death Penalty in the Hot Seat
John J. Donohue III, C. Wendell and Edith M. Carlsmith Professor of Law, has brought his economic expertise and empirical techniques to bear on a number of cutting-edge social issues. In stark contrast to many legal academics, whose work deals largely with the historical or theoretical, Donohue is renowned for his use of large-scale statistical studies that estimate the impact of law and public policy on a variety of areas, including everything from employment discrimination to school funding to crime control. Among his highly acclaimed articles are "Shooting Down the 'More Guns, Less Crime' Hypothesis" (with Ian Ayres) and "The Impact of Legalized Abortion on Crime" (with Freakonomics co-author Steven D. Levitt). Read more »
Alison D. Morantz – Do Unions Make A Difference?
Alison D. Morantz has an orange hardhat and a block of bituminous coal in her office—keepsakes from visits she made to a gold mine and a coal mine several years ago.

The underground worlds were, she recalls, like underground cities—dark labyrinths of tunnels and off–shoots, extending for miles, hundreds of feet below the earth's surface. Read more »
Ralph Richard Banks – Is Marriage For White People?
Should black women be held hostage to the failings of black men? That's the provocative question at the heart of a new book by Ralph Richard Banks (BA '87, MA '87), the Jackson Eli Reynolds Professor of Law. His book–Is Marriage for White People?: How the African American Marriage Decline Affects Everyone–has attracted attention from an extraordinary range of media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal and ESSENCE magazine, each publishing exclusive essays or excerpts just prior to the book's release.

Jenny S. Martinez – The Slave Trade and the Origins of International Human Rights Law
Jenny S. Martinez, Professor of Law and Justin M. Roach, Jr. Faculty Scholar, shares an excerpt from her forthcoming book on slavery and the evolution of International Human Rights Law: "In the year 1800, slavery was normal. European countries used international law to authorize and justify the ownership of human beings. In the first decade of the nineteenth century, an estimated 609,000 slaves arrived in the New World. Within a relatively short time span, however, things began to change." Read more »

Deborah L. Rhode Tackles the Beauty Bias
Uncomfortable shoes trouble Deborah Rhode. And not only because they hurt. She's concerned that ninety years after women got the vote and almost five decades after The Feminine Mystique was published—in a time dubbed "post-feminist" when women are now in the majority at universities and in the workforce (if not the boardroom)—there is a surgery specifically designed to sculpt a woman's foot so that it fits into pointed shoes.

Bobby Shuttleworth and Blake Brettschneider stopped by the 30th Annual Jimmy Fund Scooper Bowl on City Hall Plaza on Thursday, June 7. The guys sampled some ice cream, mingled with fans and signed autographs. The RevGirls were also on hand and didn't let a little rain (or Bobby losing his spoon) get in the way of a fun afternoon in Boston. Thanks to everyone who came out!
On Tuesday, June 5, the New England Revolution conducted the first-ever Revs Training Center (RTC) for its newest affiliate club, Empire Revolution in Western New York.
The RTC was for the top boys across Western New York, born in 1996, 1997 and 1998. With 50 talented young men in attendance, the Revs, Empire and U.S Soccer Development Academy staff coaches put the boys through the paces for an intense 90 minute session which simulated the Revolution's regular training sessions and those run by the U.S. Soccer youth staff.
The coaches were pleased with the standard of play from prospective Empire players, with a high work rate and infectious attitude prevalent among the players who wished to impress for a spot into the Revolution's development system.
"We're very excited about how our first event with Empire went," Revolution Academy Director Deven Apajee said. "The boys were outstanding and we enjoyed working with the Empire staff for this event. Everyone was thrilled to hear more about the details of our partnership, and the opportunities that are now available to the Empire players because of the Revs relationship."
Apajee also provided players and parents with presentation about the newly-launched Revs–Empire partnership and the unique and exclusive soccer opportunities – including international competition, extensive training, MLS Reserve League call-ups and more - available to the players through the U.S. Soccer Development Academy program and the Revolution system.
Tuesday's RTC was the first of many player development events the New England Revolution will be conducting in Western New York through their partnership with Empire.
Are you on Pinterest? Because the Revolution now is.
Check out the Revs' Pinterest page at pinterest.com/NERevolution, and see what we've pinned. If you like something, re-pin it yourself and start spreading the Revs with your connections and followers.
Have a idea or suggestion for a new board or pin? We want to hear from you and make this as informational and fun as it is conversational.
If you have an idea for something to be shared, let us know through any of our social media channels, including Twitter (@NERevolution) , Facebook (facebook.com/NERevolution) or leave a comment right here on the blog.
The Revolution had a special guest at todays' training session, as Framingham-born boxer Danny O'Connor was on hand to watch training and meet the guys. Danny is a huge Revs fan and will be the honorary captain at Saturday's match against the Chicago Fire. Jeff Lemieux chatted with Danny afterward, check out the interview and some photos from Danny's visit below.
Revolution forward Saer Sene is the subject of this week's "Between the lines" feature on MLSSoccer.com.
On this day in 1978, Revolution Captain Shalrie Joseph was born in Saint George, Grenada, complete with a full head of braided hair. Okay so that last part isn't true, but today is definitely Shalrie's 34th birthday.
Shalrie shares his birthday with legendary musician Bob Dylan, actor John C. Reilly, NBA great Joe Dumars and actress Priscilla Presley.
Do you share a birthday with Shalrie? If so, Happy Birthday! Check out some photos of Shalrie throughout the years below.
10 Revs players visited Boston Children's Hospital on May 22, 2012. Kevin Alston, Darrius Barnes, Zak Boggs, Blake Brettschneider, Kelyn Rowe, Stephen McCarthy, Tim Murray, Tyler Polak, Mike Roach and Bobby Shuttleworth. After a stop in group work rooms to paint planters, they made visits to several rooms throughout various wards in the hospital.
Check out photos and some tweets from the players summing up their afternoons.
Set your reminders now, as Revolution defenders A.J. Soares and Chris Tierney will stop by The D.A. Show on 98.5 The Sports Hub with Damon Amendolara this Wednesday, May 23, from 9 p.m. - 10 p.m. Give a call into the show at (617) 779-0985, and more importantly, click here to listen online.
Due to multiple scheduling conflicts, we recorded this week's Far Post Podcast this afternoon. Despite some "slacking" allegations by some people on Facebook (you know who you are), we hope what today's episode lacked in timeliness was made up for in quality.
Oh, and this is what came on the TV screens in the studio towards the end of the show:
Get up early and catch Jay Heaps at 6:35 a.m. on the Karlson & McKenzie Morning Show on WZLX-FM, with Kevin Karlson & Pete McKenzie. Listen live and have a chance at winning tickets to Saturday's match!

This concrete structure is an ICON for our city as well as our state. Only a higher power than man can tear it down with natural resources. Man needs explosives, what is wrong with doing a complete removal of all interior functions and installing new germ free interior's, from the ground up. Don't let our history of this ICON be destroyed for the financial gain of a handful of beaureacratic idiots who fooled the public into voting them into office. If Charity is not done with a 100% remodel then it has been destroyed or been stolen from us as citizens as well as our children.
bring back public executions, and hang them on the gallows let these idiots see what really swings on a rope.
It is about time law enforcement in new orleans is made aware they are not above the law. those men and women took an oath to serve and protect, and the police officer's we have today should have above everything else COMMON SENSE...That is one requirement that should always be on an application, whom ever they may be.

Do I need placement testing for eduKan?
Because of the nature for some eduKan courses, you will need to show that you are ready to pursue these courses just as you would if you were taking them on one of our campuses. Prerequisites are required for some eduKan courses, and showing that you have met the prerequisites can be done in one of two ways:
- Providing a college transcript showing the successful completion of a prerequisite course. Grade should be "C" or higher.
- Submitting standardized test scores. Either ACT or ASSET test scores may be used for this purpose.
If you are using a college transcript of previous course work for the prerequisite, please request that your former college send an official transcript to the registrar at your college of enrollment. Your transcript needs to be on file by the day the course starts.
If you are using ACT scores, please request that ACT send a copy of your ACT scores to the registrar at your college of enrollment. Scores must be on file by the time the course starts. ACT scores must be no more than two years old.
If you wish to use ASSET test scores, please request that an official score report be sent from the college where you took the ASSET test to the registrar at your college of enrollment. Scores must be on file by the time the course starts.
If you have not completed prerequisites through previous college courses and if you do not have placement test scores, you are encouraged to make arrangements with your selected eduKan college campus for placement testing, or to locate a community college near your home and arrange for placement testing.

Online classes are not covered by scholarships. eduKan classes are added on the eduKan website, www.edukan.org.
Placement Testing
Why do I need to take a placement test to enroll at PCC?
Pratt Community College requires all degree-seeking students to take an assessment test for placement prior to registration in classes. The purpose of this test is to help determine the student's level of skill in English, reading, and mathematics. The information will be used to determine the most appropriate courses for the student at this time. If the student has not taken the ACT or another placement test, they may take the COMPASS test in the Student Success Center. They will not have to take the placement test if they have previously completed English and math classes that satisfy PCC requirements.
Students may enroll at PCC without placement scores on file but they will not be able to enroll in English, math or physical science courses at the college level. We suggest students send scores and/or college transcripts to PCC or take the Compass exam in order to see where students place and give the student the opportunity to those classes as soon as possible. For more information on placement scores and course placement, please contact the Student Success Center.
If I haven't taken the ACT/SAT, will I have to take the COMPASS test?
You will not have to take the placement test if you have previously completed English and Math classes that satisfy PCC requirements. The Student Success Center will determine if the requirements have been met.
Where can I take the COMPASS test?
A COMPASS test can be taken through the PCC Student Success Center. If the student plans to take the Compass test on the Pratt main campus, the SSC offers testing appointments throughout the day, Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 3 p.m. during the school year (summer hours: Monday - Thursday 8 a.m. - 3 p.m. and Friday 8 - 11 a.m.). COMPASS exams are not timed but we schedule in two hour increments during business hours, i.e., testing sessions start no later than 3 p.m.
Is there a fee for the COMPASS test?
Yes. There is a $5 dollar fee to take the COMPASS test.
What is the difference between the WorkKeys Test and the COMPASS test?
The COMPASS test is a placement test, used to place students in the appropriate English, math and reading classes for a student's skill level. The WorkKeys exam is offered to technical program students (e.g. auto, ag power, EPT, etc.) who wish to earn "credit by examination." The WorkKeys exam cannot be used to place students into the appropriate English, math or reading classes.
Financial Aid, Bill Payment and Student Loans
What financial aid is available?
The following items are most common: FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), PCC Scholarships and third-party scholarships.
You can apply for PCC Scholarships under Financial Aid Info. FAFSA can be found at www.studentaid.ed.gov. The student does not have to pay to complete the FAFSA and their information will be converted to an EFC (estimated family contribution) number that allows our financial aid office to put a Financial Aid package together.
What is the status of my financial aid?
The Receptionist in Financial Aid can check the student's paperwork to see what has been completed.
Has my financial aid been applied to my account?
The Student Accounts Coordinator, located in the Business Office, can check to see if scholarship funds and financial aid have been applied to the student's account. If funds and aid have not been applied to the student's account, the student will need to contact the Financial Aid Department.
I got a letter telling me I need to add a class in order to keep my scholarship. How do I do that?
Students that have a scholarship of $500 or more need to be enrolled in 16 or more credit hours to keep their scholarship. They can add a class with their advisor. If they do not know who their advisor is, please have them contact the Student Success Center to find out.
Are online classes covered by scholarships?
Online classes are NOT covered by scholarships.
My Pell and Student Loans are not on the statement that I received. Can you fix this?
The student will need to speak with an advisor in the Financial Aid Department.
Why is there a stop/hold on my account?
There are various reasons for a stop/hold. The most common is that a past due balance is owed on the account. The Business Office cannot take that stop off until the balance is paid in full.
When is my payment due?
A student's payment is due on, or before, the start of classes, unless a payment plan has been set up.
How do I setup a payment plan?
The individual will need to go to the PCC website and login on Self-Service. Under Finances, click on the Payment Plan. Plans are done through Official Payments.

Immunomodulatory Properties of Green Propolis

Propolis is a resinous material collected by honeybees from numerous plants and serves as a defense against intruders. Because of its relevant curative properties, it is now gaining popularity in health foods and in cosmetic products. Understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms of phytochemicals has become a good strategy in bioprospection for new anti-inflammatory compounds. The biological activity of propolis derives from its high levels of phenolic acids, while flavonoids are thought to account for the activity of propolis extracts. The comprehension of the relationship between propolis and the immune system has progressed in the last years, recent articles have provided important contributions to this investigation field. Studies have shown that propolis suppressed the "IL-6-induced phosphorylation of signal transducer and STAT3", an essential cytokine-activated transcription factor in Th17 development. Therefore, action mechanisms of "propolis on Th17 differentiation could be instrumental in controlling disturbed cytokine networks in inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and infections." The use of propolis has been proposed in some patents as: WO2013163714; CN102885854, WO2013142936, US20130266521, and US20130129808, which are related to the treatment of dental diseases; adjuvant in anti-cancer treatment; in cosmetic products; as an anti-inflammatory agent and natural antibiotic. Although there are many publications regarding the propolis efficacy, its applicability to human health and mechanisms of action are not completely understood, creating opportunities for new studies.

ERWIN — For more than half a century, Erwin has been a destination for automobile enthusiasts wanting to show off or take a look at vintage and custom cars, and that tradition will continue this weekend.
The 54th annual Southeastern Autorama car show will be held Saturday at the Unicoi County HIgh School track. Gates will open at 7 a.m., and the show will run until approximately 5:30 p.m. Admission is $5 and free for children 12 years old and younger if accompanied by an adult.
The Southeastern Autorama started in 1960 when Conrad Beam, the owner of the Big Hat Grill, discussed with fellow antique car enthusiast Jim Hobbs ways to draw people into Erwin. Since then, the event show has gone on to become Tennessee's longest-running consecutive car show, and Bailey said very few shows in the nation rival the autorama's longevity.
"It's a family-oriented event," Southeastern Autorama Club President Joey Bailey said. "I went to my first one when I was probably just a few months old, and there's a lot of people in the community that are the same way. It's a generational thing. You'll find young people, old people and everything in between."
The same thing can be said of the cars that will be on display at Saturday's open car show. Vehicles on display will include everything from early Model A's, muscle cars, hot rods, motorcycles and street rods to more unusual vehicles such as Jeep trucks, with displayed automobiles ranging from the 1920s to modern vehicles.
"We pretty much run the gamut from A to Z," Bailey said.
Bailey said awards will be given out by the Southeastern Autorama Club about 5:30 p.m. They will include the Top 40 Autorama picks, given to the 40 cars liked the most by members of the club. There will also be around 15 "best of" awards given out, including awards for best GM, best Ford, best interior, best paint job, best engine, and the show's top award, best of show.
Bailey said those wishing to have their vehicles entered for judging may do so on the day of the show. He said registration will begin when gates open at 7 a.m. and continue to around 1 p.m. The entry fee for the judged show is $15.
This year's show is dedicated to Curtis Cooper, who was the club's vice president when he died at the age of 47 on May 22.
"He had only been with us in the club for probably two or three years, but he had won the Member of the Year award for the past two years in a row," Bailey said. "He was a very valuable member to us."
And, although this year's show has not yet taken place, Bailey said clug members are already looking at ways to get the event rolling along in the future.
"We start planning for it more than a year in advance," Bailey said. "As a matter of fact, at our last meeting we were already talking about things we can do next year, so we think it's a big thing. Our numbers have been down in recent years, but we're trying our best to do things and to get feedback from participants to make the show better as we go along."
Unicoi County High School is located at 700 S. Mohawk Drive. For more information on the autorama, call Bailey at 388-8441.comments powered by Disqus

Living victims to drive child protection change
13 Aug 2010|
The unexplained disappearance of Kiesha Abrahams from her mother's Mount Druitt home has once more put the spotlight on NSW child protection services.
Radical findings or radical propaganda?
13 Aug 2010|
Last year, two socialist academics, Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett, published a book called The Spirit Level which has had a huge impact in 'progressive' circles. In Britain, The Guardian's Polly Toynbee likened Wilkinson to Charles Darwin, and The Independent was so impressed by the book it wanted to make 'free-marketeers memorise it cover to cover.'
'Small capacity for a great city, properly so-called'
13 Aug 2010On 24 July 1912, an article on page 16 of the Sydney Morning Herald noted on the occasion of the opening of a new state parliament that 'there were few more really vital concerns referred to than that of the traffic of Sydney.' With a population of only around 700,000 people, it seemed Sydney could not cope. The article described Sydney as a 'criminally congested city' and declared that 'the streets of Sydney … are a disgrace to a modern community.' |

TEMPE, Ariz. — Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops is insistent on not addressing some of the team's transfers until January.
But some of the defections became obvious Monday when the team's first Insight Bowl practice was briefly opened to media members.
TEMPE, Ariz. — Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops is insistent on not addressing some of the team's transfers until January.
But some of the defections became obvious Monday when the team's first Insight Bowl practice was briefly opened to media members.
Receivers Justin McCay and Sheldon McClain weren't with the team. In fact, just as practice was beginning, McCay tweeted about going ice skating. McClain talked about a mall.
Still, despite the visual evidence, Stoops had no interest in detailing their statuses.
"Let's talk about who's here," he said after practice. "You guys can (talk about who is not). You like to talk about who isn't here. I like to talk about who's here.
"You can talk about it all you want. I'm not going to."
Another of the outgoing players, Torrea Peterson, was dropped from the two-deep. Freshman Marquis Anderson is now listed as a backup at defensive tackle. Defensive back James Haynes was also not at practice.
"Sometimes the best thing for a kid is to move on and go someplace else and start fresh and for them to be happy," co-offensive coordinator and receivers coach Jay Norvell said. "Everybody can't play, but that's basically the truth. We need good players."
The starters for Friday's game against Iowa, according to the depth chart OU released Monday, are a freshman and two sophomores.
Kameel Jackson, the freshman, and Trey Franks are there due to the injuries to Ryan Broyles (knee) and Jaz Reynolds (kidney). Kenny Stills is now the No. 1 target. Senior Dejuan Miller and deep snapper James Winchester are the backups.
With the losses, defensive back Joe Powell has been moved back to receiver. Norvell said he's quickly shaken off any rust.
"My (meeting) room is not as quiet as it used to be," Norvell joked about the outspoken Powell. "Joe is back and it's like riding a bike and he's jumped right in.
"He's a great kid and a tough competitor, and it's good to have him back. He'll help us and he'll be ready to play, and we won't be afraid to stick him in there if we need to."
Kendal Thompson, who has been the scout team quarterback most of the season, was at receiver Monday, too. But both Stoops and co-offensive coordinator Josh Heupel said he's not a candidate to play there. Heupel said he was running there due to an injury preventing him from throwing.

About 800 staff workers at the University of Vermont are slated to vote this week on whether to join a union.
Technicians, research and library support staff and others will cast ballots on Tuesday and Wednesday on whether they want to organize and, if so, whether they want to join a union affiliated with the Vermont NEA teachers' union or a group based at UVM called United Staff.
The elections cover non-exempt UVM workers — meaning those who can get overtime pay — who aren't already represented by unions.

Good Product. Color is as advertised.
I was a little skeptical that this would not work as well as my Columbia Omni-Freeze bandana that I bought last year, but it works just as well. The little rings on the inside of the material cools as well as the Omni-freeze. I am assuming that Mountain Hardware developed it first and when bought out by Columbia, transferred the technology over. I will buy additional ones for m family

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Way2Cool Rappel Bandana:
Very good product. This is similar to Columbia's OmniFreeze Zero neck Gator, but the fabric feels more like cotton and is a little heavier.
I did notice a cooling effect when I wet it.
I have used it camping, canoeing, and backpacking and it does well to keep you cool.
It also does well in other configurations as a beanie, or full mask. It also has done well to keep the bugs and sun off of you as it is SPF 50
I have bought the Kaki one, but may buy others
