What Is the Average Salary of a College Instructor?
Field of study and type of employer are two factors that affect the average salary of a college instructor. Keep reading to learn more about what you could earn in a postsecondary teaching position. Schools offering Adult Education degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
Salary Based on Subject
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that the average salary for all postsecondary instructors was $74,620 as of May 2013; however, this can vary greatly depending on the field of study that you teach (www.bls.gov). The graphs below detail some of the highest- and lowest-paying fields for college instructors, based on May 2013 BLS figures:
High-Paying Fields of Study
|Average Yearly Salary
|Health Specialties
Lower-Paying Fields of Study
|Average Yearly Salary
|Vocational Education
|Recreation and Fitness Studies
Other Factors that Affect Salary
The BLS also notes that where you teach can affect how much you make as a college instructor. For example, an instructor at a 4-year college or university or a professional school typically earns more than an instructor at a community or junior college. Also, college instructors are increasingly being employed on a part-time rather than full-time basis. In these instances, instructors sometimes opt to teach at more than one institution to earn the equivalent of full-time pay, but this can leave them without full-time benefits, like insurance and paid vacation.
Education Recommendations
If you intend to teach at a 4-year college or university, you'll typically need to earn a doctorate. Some schools hire instructors who only hold a master's degree, but these instances are the exception rather than the rule. If you have a master's degree, you might instead consider teaching at a 2-year institution.
If you're looking for a tenured teaching position at a university, you can expect competition, and you'll likely need extensive experience; in the meantime, you might opt for a non-tenure-track or part-time position, which can help you gain valuable teaching experience in a college setting. Students who are working on their doctoral degrees might find part-time or temporary jobs as teaching assistants.

The Dade County
Wolverine basketball team had a busy region schedule last week as the regular
season winds down. The Wolverines traveled on Tuesday and then played at home
on Friday and Saturday.
The Wolverines
played Murray County on Tuesday and had a hard time pulling away from the host
Indians in the first half. Both teams got off to a very slow start and at the
end of the first quarter the Wolverines led 9-5.
While the pace
picked up in the second quarter the Wolverines were only up by seven at the end
of the first half, 23-16.
Dade found
their shooting range in the third quarter however and rang up 29 third quarter
points to only 13 by the host and took a commanding 52-29 lead after three
The Wolverines
were then able to coast to a Region 7AA win by the final score of 69-43.
Clynt Bell had
a big night as he scored 47 points, hitting 10 three–point shots. He was the
only Wolverine to score in double figures.
Reed Hulgan
grabbed 12 rebounds and Mikey Williams had 10 rebounds for the Wolverines.

On Friday night
Dade hosted Armuchee in yet another key Region 7AA game. The Wolverines had
dropped a heartbreaker to the Indians earlier in the season.
Both teams came
out of the locker room with a hot shooting hand and by the end of the first
quarter the Wolverines held a two point lead, 26-24.
That hot
shooting continued in the second quarter with the Indians matching the
Wolverines basket for basket and by the end of the first half Dade led 50-46.
The Indians
tied the game at the end of the third quarter, 67-67.
As time was
winding down, Dade held a one point lead with one minute remaining and had
possession of the ball.
A missed shot
and an Armuchee rebound gave the Indians a shot at victory and they took
advantage and came away with another last second win over the Wolverines this

scored was Armuchee 83, Dade County 80.

the leading scorer with 38 points while Nic Gaddis finished with 18.

was postponed due to inclement weather.
The Wolverines
and Dragons got off to a slow start with Dade taking a four point lead after
the first quarter, 14-10.
The Wolverines
opened up in the second quarter and built a 15 point lead over the visitors and
at the end of the first half lead the score was 41-26.
The Dragons
didn't pack it in after the first half however and they started chipping away
at the Wolverine lead in the third quarter winning the third quarter 22-18. But
Dade still had the lead, 59-48.
Pepperell tied
the game late in the fourth quarter but the Wolverines managed to hold on and
claim a hard fought 78-72 win.

Maloof manor has a new owner!
The home occupied by "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Adrienne Maloof and her estranged husband Paul Nassif sold October 19 for $19.5 million -- $6.5 million less than the $26 million she was looking for.
The home was listed one month ago. Adrienne will still profit from the sale though, she and Paul bought it in 2004 for $14.5 million.
The 8 bedroom, 11 bathroom French Chateau mansion has been featured prominently on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," including the upcoming season where a neighborhood fire forces the family from the home. It features a tennis court, media room, wine cellar, swimming pool, pool house and guest house. Check out all the lavish photos below.
Mauricio Umansky, the husband of "Real Housewives" star Kyle Richards, was the listing agent.
To get even more information on the property, check out the listing on Redfin.

Upper Track Gate System - E/Z Slide
More Reasons Why E/Z-SLIDE Is Second To None:
- SAFETY - No exposed roller wheels. Eliminates the chance of fingers or hands being crushed if children hang on gate. Eliminates dangerous pinch points common with cantilever rollers.
- ADAPTABILITY - E/Z-Slide adapts easily to the conventional pipe frame cantilever slide gate, eliminating the need to purchase an entire new gate. Size of opening is not a problem with E/Z-Slide; pre-drilled track can be easily spliced together for longer gates.
- EASE OF OPERATION - Because there are no exposed roller wheels to collect dirt, ice or snow, E/Z-Slide stands up to its name. Ease of movement is assured.
- PROFITABILITY - Electrically operated gates will require a motor with less horsepower than those of the conventional type roller gates. The motor will last longer resulting in savings. The retro fit E/Z Slide Track System readily adapts to your existing cantilever gate using our unique brackets. Assembly can be accomplished at your customers premises. All kits available for immediate shipment. Shipping delays and inflated costs associated with a new gate will be a thing of the past with a retro fit E/Z Slide Track System.
- SPECIFICATIONS - Aluminum extrusion (alloy 6061-T6) having a weight of 4.35 pounds per foot and tested to withstand a minimum reaction load of 1,500 pounds.
Each E/Z-SLIDE Gate Kit Contains The Following:
- Aluminum Track

Reports of skyrocketing medical malpractice premiums in Massachusetts are flawed, according to a Suffolk University Law School study that found Bay State physicians actually saw their inflation-adjusted malpractice premiums drop between 1990 and 2005.
The new study, published in the May/June issue of the journal Health Affairs, raises serious questions about claims that Massachusetts doctors are facing a medical malpractice premium crisis that threatens the viability of medical practice in the Bay State.
Massachusetts has the fourth-highest median malpractice settlement payments in the nation, and therefore should have the fourth-highest premiums. Yet, when adjusted for inflation, Bay State physicians' malpractice premiums were lower in 2005 than in 1990 in nearly all cases. The study -- which provides the most comprehensive analysis of premiums to date -- clashes with popular perceptions and assumptions underlying legislative proposals to cap damages awards.
Suffolk University Law School researchers Marc Rodwin and colleagues analyzed malpractice premiums from 1975 to 2005 using data from the state-regulated mutual insurer known as Pro-Mutual. In 2005, malpractice premiums were $17,810 for the coverage level and policy type that physicians most frequently purchased, compared with $17,907 in 1990. Despite premium increases since 1995 or 2000 for all physicians, premiums were still lower in 2005 than 1990, when they reached a 30-year peak. Mean premiums increased only in three specialties comprising 4 percent of physicians: obstetrics, neurology and orthopedists performing spinal surgery.
The study furthermore documents growing differences among premiums paid within each practice specialty since 1990. That's when insurers began to adjust rates for each practice specialty by discounting low-risk physicians and surcharging those with high risks. By 2005, there was a threefold difference in premiums for physicians within OB-GYN, the highest-risk specialty, as a result of rate discounts and surcharges based on an individual physician's risk factors. As a result, although mean OB-GYN premiums increased significantly since 1990, nearly one-third of physicians in OB-GYN paid lower premiums in 2005 than in 1990.
The authors note that premiums for OB-GYN are higher than for most other physicians because infants injured in birth sometimes require lifelong custodial care, which is very expensive. They therefore recommend that patient safety and quality efforts should focus on OB-GYN and the two other high-risk specialties to reduce injuries. When similar efforts were undertaken in anesthesiology in the 1990s, injuries fell dramatically, and premiums did as well.
The authors also propose alternative means to compensate injuries. For infants injured in birth they recommend a no-fault compensation system such as those used in Virginia and Florida. Alternatively they suggest shifting liability from physicians to hospitals for all injuries that occur in hospitals. Both proposals would reduce the malpractice premiums for high-risk physicians while still compensating patients.

The other day, I put up a small question about history. What better place could there be to put my answer, but in the form of a fractal? Patterns seem to almost repeat themselves. Sweeping changes result from a single, initial circumstance. Each point is connected to another, within the same set. Are these descriptions of events in history, or the rules defining a rippled Julia set?
Or perhaps the rings of a tree?
The trunk of a cottonwood tree, showing rings formed over many years. Cottonwood trees (below) line the bank of Walnut Creek, which appealed to Sarah H. Church when she arrived in the early 1860s, and continue to appeal to 21st century suburbanites today.
This past summer, I set out on a quest to understand the land beneath my feet. Prompted by news of climate change, water and energy shortages, endangered species, and urban sprawl, I wanted to where we were going. To do that, I had to figure out how we got here.
The beginning of the story can be found in layers of stone and sediment. This reveals the origin of the land itself, as well as describing the ecosystems that existed here, long before we did. But studying the geologic history of the area only takes us so far. Even the many tribes of natives who once lived here can only tell us so much about the changes here. The Puebloans left us with more mysteries than answers. Later tribes, from the Ute to the Arapaho, were either killed off, or westernized before they could describe what the land was like when they arrived, hundreds or thousands of years ago. So, to really understand the Front Range, then and now, our best bet is to turn to history.
The written history of this area doesn't really get a start until the 1860s. Before then, explorers sought to describe the more dramatic landmarks, like the continental divide. In the 1840's, John C. Fremont took it upon himself to explore what was colloquially referred to as the "Great American Desert". He noticed that the old Cherokee Trail ran along the Front Range, bisecting the prairie from what is now Pueblo to Wyoming, before cutting across the Rockies and continuing on to California. By the 1860's stagecoaches followed the same path, carrying signs which read "Pikes Peak or Bust".
This is when pioneers like George and Sarah Church arrived here, drawn by not only the promise of fortune, but the challenge and adventure of settling untamed land. Indeed, challenges and adventures were here in abundance. The Church family adapted to the land; the land adapted to them. In doing so, they left a legacy which plays a strong influence on the area, even today.
Not everyone succeeded. Sarah Church wrote the following passage in her memoirs:
"It was very funny to see what many had painted on their wagon sheets, "Bound for Pikes Peak," "Going to Pikes Peak," "Pikes Peak or Bust" and occasionally would see a family going back with "Busted" or "Pikes Peak Busted" or "Busted Bythunder" or "No Gold out there, Country All Busted.""
On Monday, I'll begin a series detailing these stories, beginning with George and Sarah's first voyage to Colorado, and the foundations of the ranch they built on that old Cherokee Trail. In the following days, I'll describe the developments and changes in the area since, and the influences of George and Sarah's descendents.
It seems like the deeper I look, the more stories there are to be found. The history of the area is, indeed, fractal in nature, as I described at the beginning of this post. What makes this one unique is the haunting feeling that I'm a part of the fractal. Some of the places in these stories are places that had a strong influence on me, growing up, or even today. Roads that I've literally traveled show up in old pictures, while names on maps or street signs become the names of 3-dimensional people, each with a legacy of their own.
Everyone is a part of the fractal rings of history.
Which brings me to this week's "Ask a ScienceBlogger" question:
When I think about global warming, I feel completely powerless. Is there any meaningful action I can take to help?
None of us are powerless. We each play a small part in creating what will later be history. Even small actions can be hugely meaningful. Can it make a difference to buy a hybrid sports car? Perhaps, if in doing so, you add to the image that it's "cool" and inspire others to ditch the Hummer and buy a Prius. Can it make a difference to check a box on your ballot to support public transportation? Sure, if others are doing it, be it because they want to conserve energy, or they dig trains, or they're tired of fighting for a seat on the overcrowded express busses, or trying to find a spot at the park-n-ride. In our individual attempts to adapt and survive, we influence each other, and we influence the whole.
If we choose to act helpless and uncaring, we'll encourage others to do the same. We can't say, "It's not my problem-what do I care if the sea levels rise, I don't live on the coast." Our friends, our families, our neighbors are there. We can't say, "I won't be around in 50 years to see the difference." Our children will be. At the same time, we can't force a solution on our society. We can't give up the growth of the human race. We can't stop being consumers of technology. Instead, we must work out a balance somewhere in between. Change will happen. If we want to survive, we must adapt. The land will adapt to us.
The first step we can take is to know what it is we're trying to save. This next week, I'll be sharing what I've learned about the changes occurring to the land around me, and how individuals can make great differences in the shape of the whole. I hope I can inspire others to do the same; to look deep into the fractal history of the land and people around them. Know how we got here-and together, we can decide where to go next.

Arriving in Okinawa in August 1944, Ushijima took command of Thirty-Second Army. That unit had been established under direct control of the Imperial headquarters in March 1944 specifically for the purpose of defending the Ryukus Islands. By that time, the Thirty-Second Army numbered four divisions and five mixed brigades. However, its military potential was hugely diminished when the 9th Division, one of the elite units in the army, was relocated to Taiwan (Formosa) in December and not replaced on Okinawa. Ushijima did what he could to strengthen the island's defenses, but the loss of his best division forced him to change his strategy from pursuing a "fight to the finish" to instigating delaying tactics. The goal of this strategy was to prolong the battle against U.S. forces in order to forestall a landing in the main Japanese home islands as long as possible.
The Battle of Okinawa began on 26 March 1945 when the U.S. forces landed on the Kerama Islands. On 1 April, those forces went ashore on Okinawa proper. The landing was deceptively easy, as Ushijima had withdrawn the bulk of his forces to fight for the populous interior. The fighting continued into late June. With the battle lost, Ushijima committed ritual suicide on a cliff on 23 June (22 June, according to another account), leaving as his last orders: "Guard your own position, follow the orders of your superiors, and fight bravely to the last breath for your homeland." Ushijima had been promoted to the rank of general on 20 June, just prior to his death.

Is Your Videogame Machine Watching You?

Microsoft Corp. officials are considering using the camera on their new Kinect videogame system to target ads to people watching the games.
Dennis Durkin, who serves as chief operating officer and chief financial officer for Microsoft's Xbox video game business, told investors Thursday that Kinect – which allows users to play video games without so much as a joystick – presents business opportunities for targeted game marketing and advertising.
Kinect is a camera peripheral that plugs into the Xbox 360 console and allows players to control games with only body movements. The system uses facial recognition technology to sign in players and match them with their avatars and profiles. But the technology can also be put to use beyond those purposes, Durkin said in a presentation at an investors conference sponsored by BMO Capital Markets.

"We can cater which content we present to you based on who you are," Durkin said. "How many people are in the room when an ad is shown? How many people are in the room when a game is being played? When you add this sort of device to a living room, there's a bunch of business opportunities that come with that."

Land swap proposal to redevelop Fort Pierce's Fisherman's Wharf dead in the water | Poll
FORT PIERCE — The land swap proposal to redevelop Fisherman's Wharf is dead in the water.
The city was notified Tuesday afternoon that developers were withdrawing their proposal for consideration, said Urban Redevelopment Department Director Jon Ward at the city's Redevelopment Agency meeting later that day.
The proposed land swap already didn't have support from city staff, who recommended commissioners, sitting as the agency board, cancel the request for proposals to redevelop the city-owned wharf at the northwest base of the South Causeway Bridge.
Commissioners agreed to cancel the request and send an official letter to developers Mike Abinanti and Mike Heiser.
The city won't be putting out another request any time soon, said Ward after the meeting. The city plans to continue to operate the wharf as an element of the overall city marina, he said.
"We just can't seem to attract the right deal apparently," Ward said, "so I think we're just going to put this one on the shelf for a while."
The city put out the request for proposals in April after Abinanti and Heiser approached the city with a land swap idea for vacant property they own on South Indian River Drive. The terms of the land swap proposal commissioners chose in July have changed several times with different options of property.
Still, "the assets being proffered as a land swap do not represent adequate value to the majority of the policy makers," wrote Ward last week. City staff recommended a cash purchase of the wharf instead of a land swap, but Abinanti and Heiser said they can't support an all-cash offer because they feel the numbers don't work, Ward wrote.

Looking for Capital to Start Your Business?
Are you wondering how to obtain small business financing so that you can turn your dream business into a reality? Would you like to know the best ways to obtain small business loans? Or maybe you want to know more about angel investors or venture capitalists. We highly encourage you to read our review of three solid resources that can help you with your new business financing in our article, Small Business Financing: How to Obtain the Capital You Need to Start Your Business.
Business Overview:
If you've been thinking of starting a daycare in your home, you'll be pleased to know that the demand for daycare services continues to rise. With so many parents working outside the home, opening a daycare is a service that multitudes of families will be grateful for. Many parents have grave concerns about the quality of childcare that is found in larger facilities, and they often prefer a small, home-based daycare business where they know their child will receive plenty of specialized, one-on-one attention. Because of this, it's a great time to create a daycare business plan if you love children and want to work at home. The startup costs are low and the rewards of impacting a child's life are great. While most states require home-based daycare businesses to be licensed and some require the staff to be certified, the application process is usually quite simple. You can contact your local municipal office to determine their exact requirements.
A Day in the Life of a home-based daycare business owner:
A Day in the Life of a home-based daycare business owner:
This article brought to you by Business Ideas! If you enjoyed this article, make sure to subscribe to the Business Ideas Newsletter to get ideas sent straight to your email inbox.There are several types of daycare. If you choose to have an all-day program, then your day will start quite early because parents need to drop their children off before they go to work. Your day will be spent overseeing the children, monitoring any staff people you have working with you, and ensuring the safety and wellbeing of every child in your care. On the other hand, you could decide to have an after school program. In this situation your workday will not start until after school was finished. That might be at noon if you are accepting kindergarten-aged children or mid-afternoon if you are only accepting children older than those in the first grade. Part of your day might also be spent interviewing the parents and children that want access to your daycare, to educate them about what it is you do and to see if their child would be a good fit in your program.
The Good:
- Very low startup costs.
- There's a very high demand for this service.
- Great satisfaction in impacting a child's life.
- You can customize the business so that you work with the age group you want to: newborns, toddlers, preschoolers, or a mixture.
The Bad:
- Most states require a daycare license, though it is not difficult to obtain.
- You may have some children that need more discipline and guidance than you feel comfortable providing and conflict may arise with the parents.
- Child Day Care Association
- U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
- Childcare.gov
- National Resource Center for Health and Safety in Child Care
- Child Care Aware
Start This Business Today:
To start a home-based daycare business today, we recommend you purchase Starting a Daycare Center. This is a complete step-by-step guide to help you quickly start a profitable home-based daycare business. You will soon know every tip and trick for running this business from your home. For more information, or to purchase this HIGHLY RECOMMENDED book, click here.
The Marketing Program is a step-by-step, walk-you-by-
the-hand bootcamp.
Each month, we give you ONE (and no more than one) "marketing project" to complete in your business.
You do that one project each month . . . and we guarantee that if you do the stuff, you'll double your online income during the next 12 months, or we'll double your money back.
Anyway, each monthly marketing project is a plain -as-day, from A-Z, step-by-step, no B.S. blueprint (that has been tested and proven to work over and over again) for getting multiple on-demand cash infusions into your business.

Everyone loves upsets. Well, not the team that loses, though--they generally hate upsets. But other than that, everyone loves an upset.
What an intense game this was! The BC-ND rivalry was strong in those days. They played each other every year, and the hatred seemed to increase with every game. In 1993, Notre Dame was predicted to be a national champion contender. They were to face BC at home in South Bend, which at the time, was a big factor in their domination. But the Eagles came to play. With 11 minutes left in the game, they led the Irish 38-17. Not surprisingly, the Irish fought their way back. The game ended on a 41-yard BC field goal, securing the victory, and completing smashing Notre Dame's hope for a national championship.
When #13 ranked Kansas State was slated to play #1 ranked Oklahoma in 2003, no one gave them much of a shot. Oklahoma was considered the best team in college football and a lock for the national championship. They went into their game against Kansas uninspired. QB Ell Robertson threw 4 touchdown passes, and Heisman candidate Darren Sproles ran for 235 yards. Despite the loss, Oklahoma was sent to the BCS national championship, where they lost to #2 LSU.
The 1999 Wisconsin football team was good. They had Ron Dayne at runningback, who would go on to win the 1999 Heisman trophy. All signs pointed to a Wisconsin victory. When they entered Cincinnati's home field, they didn't think a loss was in the realm of possibilities. But as is the case with all the examples in this article, the favored team was wrong. Dayne gave a routinely strong performance, but only managed to get in the endzone once. Nothing seemed to go right, and the Cincinatti Bearcats walked away with the victory. Wisconsin went on to win the Rose Bowl.
Florida State was a powerhouse in the 90's. The team regularly ranked high in AP polls, and boasted a national championship win in 1993. They were solid. 1998 was no different. They were again a high ranking team in AP polls and were expected to be a national championship contender. But something happened against NC State. Florida looked sloppy. Future Heisman trophy winner Chris Weinke threw 6 interceptions and only 1 touchdown! After the game, NC State fell back into losing a lot, and Florida State went to a bowl game. They lost, but won the national championship the following year.
This game is an example of a team covering the ridiculous spread against them. Washington was favored by 37 points going into this game, which is pretty ridiculous. Towards the end of the game, Oregon was down 20-14, a stunning score by itself. Washington was forced to punt, but it was blocked by Oregon who returned the ball into the endzone. With the extra point, they won the game. They wouldn't win another game for the rest of the season, which made their underdog victory over Washington even more amazing.
Oklahoma is a dominant football school. They had won the national championship the year before, and were on a 37-game winning streak, ranked at #2 in the country. Impressive stuff. They were much better than the Jayhawks, a team who hadn't won too many games for the 10 years prior, and hadn't beaten Oklahoma in over 11 years. Needless to say, they were unranked. The roles were seemingly reversed on this day, however. Oklahoma turned the ball over EIGHT TIMES. That is a lot of times. Kansas hopped on their opportunities and ran away with the game. Oklahoma still managed to take home their second consecutive national championship that year.
The Sooners hold a 47 game winning streak that still stands to this day. Over 1,512 straight days, or just over 4 years, Oklahoma hadn't lost a game. But on November 16, 1957, Notre Dame decided to put an end to it. A fired up Fightin' Irish squad entered Sooner turf, while the Sooner entered the game uninspired, expecting a win. In the beginning, it looked like they would get the victory they expected. The offense looked strong, but failed to put any points on the board. People just figured it was a matter of time. But that time never came. Notre Dame's defense held Oklahoma on each posession, managing a turnover in the third quarter, and a 20-play scoring drive in the fourth.
When it comes to a team being favored, 41 points is unheard of. But USC was favored by just that many points. That means that the good people who analyze teams and set the odds pretty much considered Stanford a high school team. Junior varsity. And probably all white kids. But Jim Harbaugh (yes, THE Jim Harbaugh) and his Stanford Cardinals went into the game thinking about one thing: winning. Earlier in the season, Jim Harbaugh claimed that USC might be the best team in the history of college football. Wow! Talk about snake-biting a team. Stanford ended up beating the mighty Trojans 24-23, a win considered the biggest statistical upset ever. Such is the power of Jim Harbaugh.
Let's just put it this way: Temple is bad at football. And they have been for a long time. The '98 team was no exception. They were having an average Temple season (winless) when they went to Blacksburg, Virginia to take on the Virginia Tech Hokies. Underdogs by 4 touchdowns, the Temple Owls were down 17 at the half, but came back to win, defeating #5 ranked and undefeated Virginia Tech. One Virginia Tech player was quoted as saying "We're the laughing stock of college football right now."
Boston College's 1942 team was pretty awesome. They were national title favorites, undefeated at 8-0, and going into their game against Holy Cross, they had allowed only 19 points! That's ridiculous! 19 points in 8 games! 5 of which were shutouts! Holy Cross was a not spectacular 4-4-1. But they scored 55 points, and allowed only 12. Most people expected the score to be reversed, except that Holy Cross would have had 0 points instead of 12. The bitterly dissappointing loss would end Boston's national championship hopes.
Nowadays, neither team is a national threat, but during the mid part of our century, Army was awesomely good. They entered the 1950 Army-Navy game a 21-point favorite. They played like amateurs. 5 fumbles and zero endzone entrances meant Army would lose in front of 110,000 people, including President Harry Truman.
The name Knute Rockne is legendary among college football enthusiasts. With a win percentage of 88.1 , it's doubtful anyone will ever come close to his accomplishments. So certain was Rockne that his team would defeat Carnegie Tech, that he decided to take the game off and just chill in Chicago to catch the Army-Navy game. Oops. The gaffe would cost his team a shot at the national championship.
Carnegie was up 13-0 at the half, and angered over the Rockne's lack of respect for their team, kept Notre Dame out of the endzone the entire contest. The game ball is still proudly displayed in Carnegie's locker room to this day.
Today, everyone knows Harvard as the college for smart kids. But back in the 20's they were the college for smart kids AND good football playing kids. And this upset is pretty insane. Centre College, located in Kentucky, was OVER-LOADED with students, 254 of them. And the football team had probably 40 players, meaning that roughly 1/5 of the students played for the football team. No one gave Centre a shot. It was similar to the United States going to war with you. Just you. Versus the United States. And you killed everyone. It took until the third quarter for a score. Centre put it in the endzone, but missed the extra point. It wouldn't matter. Harvard failed to sustain any sort of offense, which you've probably deduced already thanks to the goose-egg next to their name.
Many football fans cite this victory as the greatest upset in college football history. And it makes sense. Michigan is the most prolific team in college football, and were even favored as a possible national champion in pre-season rankings. In fact, this game was a write-off. ASU received $400,000--payment for the thrashing they were SUPPOSED to receive. And while ASU was not a bad football team, not by a long-shot, the numbers favored Michigan. Future NFL draft picks, scholarships galore, and 110,000 people rooting them on. The odds were no doubt in favor of the Wolverines. It's currently the first and only time a ranked Division 1 team has ever lost to an unranked Division 1AA team.

How much do you pay your editors? Anything? Do you even have editors? #3 upset? Carnegie Tech over Notre Dame? Pretty sure you don't spell Notre Dame "H-A-R-V-A-R-D". Probably didn't notice it because I stopped reading halfway through yesterday.

Economist Morton Marcus, retired director of the Indiana Business Research Center which, among other things, creates population estimates and projections for Indiana, made an interesting speech recently at Indiana State University in Terre Haute.
I don't agree with everything Marcus says in his speech, but this blurb from the media coverage of it really caught my eye:
Marcus further noted that he is not concerned about a so-called "brain drain" from the Hoosier state, calling attempts to keep Indiana's kids in the state a mistake. It is better to encourage young people to leave the state and attract new people from other areas to move here, he said. "We have an inadequacy of brain-inflow," not a brain drain, Marcus said. "Too many people in Indiana have not seen the rest of the world."
This is right on I think. It's not that I think that cities should try to get rid of their young college grads, but having cities full of people who've never lived anywhere else breeds an insular attitude. It also makes it extremely difficult to change and break out of existing molds. When you don't know what other people are doing, it's hard to judge if you are doing well or not. And of course people as well as cities benefit from new and different experiences. Now I'll be the first to admit that's really a value statement, but it's a value I'm glad to promote.
The other side of this around brain-inflow is also key. Places like San Francisco didn't become hotbeds of skilled technical people by retaining their kids. They did it by hoovering up educated people from elsewhere. As I argue elsewhere, all too many of the smaller, aspirational cities I cover here are selling a commodity product that is not likely to appeal to young, ambitious, educated people. This makes attracting those brains from elsewhere difficult.

KNIT: Recycled Crafting Easy Quick Scarf
June 27, 2009
We're all in a money crunch these days. A Darn Good Accessory will solve your problems, at least for looking cute because it's a 3 in 1 accessory! Wear it as a scarf, headband or belt.
I actaully had a recent request from client in Norway for me to knit her up this very pattern. Look at what she said, (thanks Carmen!)
I got the scarf in the mail today, it was really gorgeous! I got it earlier than expected, from the United States to Norway in 5 days! The service here is really great too! I absolutely recommend trying the recycled silk yarn to everyone! You'll hear from me again
Thank you Nicole!
So, come on, let's knit one up. I promise it won't take long. It's an easy easy pattern and if you check out the video I show you how I like to tie mine up in my hair..tres chic yes?
Here's what you need to make this:
The Darn Good Accessory Kit, click Here for more info.
And here's the more than easy how-to:
CO 13 sts.
K1, P1 every row…woo hoo (I love mindless patterns sometimes because they're great for newbies and they are medatative! Om!)
So how long are you going to make it? Well, this is totally up to you. I usually use 1 and 3/4 balls of yarn but I love a long skinny scarf. If you want even more drama keep going. Want shorter than shorten it up!
BO, weave in ends and style it up and look cute!
Look at you go!
How to flaunt it: See My Video
As a scarf. This type of scarf is meant to be wrapped a couple of times around your neck. Here's how to get the look as shown by moi. I take the end of my Darn Good Accessory and place it about in the top third of my torso and wrap around my neck like that then tie it off to the side (so it doesn't look like a tie). I never start by hanging the scarf in the middle behind my neck because I think you don't get to show off as much as the scarf and your ends can't be uneven and you don't get to make a cute tie in it.
As an awesome headband. Because this Darn Good Accessory is done in moss stitch it grips onto itself and doesn't shift making it the perfect candidate for a headband. So, here's how to do it. Put your hair up into a high ponytail and cover your part. It doesn't even need to be neat because it will be covered by the DGA. So, depending on if you want part of the DGA to hang down your back or not depends on if you start the headband in the back or front of your head. So, choose the base of your head or just at the front of your hair line at your forehead. From there, find the center of your DGA and wrap symmetrically around your head with both hands, switching ends with your hands when it crosses over keeping the scarf tight. The trick to making it flat is to pyramid the wraps as if you were putting grip on a tennis racquet or tape on a road bike handle. The cool part about this DGA is that you don't need to knot it for it to stay in place you simply need to tie it. You can take your hair out at that point of leave it up…whatev:-). Be prepared to get some compliments!! Pair with some mellow colors to wear so you highlight the scarf.
As a cool belt over a long shirt. You could have it go around once and let the ends hang or you could double it around and make it like a little corset look. I totally recommend a nice sold dark color with this option though… you don't want too much going on in your outfit!

Dr Daniel Gaffney
Daniel's research combines computational and statistical methods with high-throughput experimental techniques to study eukaryotic gene regulation.
Daniel earned his PhD in evolutionary genetics from Edinburgh University in 2006 under the supervision of Dr Peter Keightley. His graduate research used computational methods to study variation in the mutation rate and natural selection in noncoding DNA. From 2006 to 2008 he pursued a postdoc with Dr Jacek Majewski in McGill University and Genome Quebec Genome Centre, where he worked on the evolution of transcriptional regulation in primates, and the role of alternative splicing in embryonic development. From 2008 until 2011 he worked on population genetic variation in gene expression and regulation with Dr Jonathan Pritchard at the University of Chicago.
In July 2011 Daniel started as a Career Development Fellowship Group Leader at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. The long-term goal of the group is to understand how changes in gene regulation play a role in disease susceptibility and human evolution. His research combines statistical genetics and comparative genomics with high-throughput experimental techniques, such as ChIP-seq and DNaseI-seq, in human cells to address these questions. The group uses naturally occurring human genetic variation as a model system to test hypotheses about gene regulation. The team is also interested in developing evolutionary models of gene regulation to understand how changes at the molecular level drive gene expression divergence between species.
