Time to change how news media cover mass shootings, says Iowa State prof
The amount of media attention focused on the shooter in a mass killing sends the wrong message, says an Iowa State University associate professor of psychology. Douglas Gentile, an expert on media effects, says news reports about the killer, the type and number of weapons used and rounds of ammunition glamorize the situation and set a "high score" for future mass shooters to beat.
Iowa State University researchers receive $1 million grant to study antimicrobial resistance in animal production
The grant from USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture will allow the interdisciplinary team of researchers to advance new technology to study antimicrobial resistance, which poses a growing threat to human and animal health.
Commencement for ISU's largest-ever graduating class is May 7 at Jack Trice Stadium
Iowa State will graduate an anticipated 4,601 students Saturday, May 7, an increase of more than 225 over last spring's largest-ever graduating class. Changes being implemented this semester to graduation weekend now include moving the undergraduate ceremony outside to Jack Trice Stadium, due in part to several years of record enrollments and corresponding record graduation classes. An anticipated 3,823 undergraduates will complete degrees from Iowa State this semester. The undergraduate ceremony will begin at 1:30 p.m.; stadium gates 3 (south) and 5 (northwest) open at 11:30 a.m. and all guests will sit in the west bleachers.
ISU graduating senior adapts urban roots to global agriculture
Malcolm Smith knows that awesome things happen when he steps outside his comfort zone. He chose to attend an agricultural sciences high school without knowing anything about ag. He left his hometown of 2.7 million diverse people to go to college in a town of 60,000 less diverse people. He went on a service learning internship in Uganda after his freshman year and took graduate-level courses at a German university his sophomore year. On Saturday, May 7, Smith graduates from Iowa State with a double major in global resource systems and public service and administration in agriculture.
New grant will help Iowa State University researchers to explore genetics of stress resistance in corn
A $2.1 million grant from the National Science Foundation will help ISU plant scientists build a better understanding of how corn plants deal with stress conditions such as heat waves. The research will focus on a delicate but vital process in plant cells called protein folding.
Iowa State spring undergraduate commencement moves to Jack Trice Stadium
Iowa State University President Steven Leath this morning (April 29) announced a new location for ISU's spring undergraduate commencement ceremony. The May 7 celebration will be moved to Jack Trice Stadium, the university's largest venue. University officials predict attendance at this spring's undergraduate commencement ceremony will exceed capacity at the traditional Hilton Coliseum location. The move to Jack Trice Stadium does not affect individual college convocations and receptions, or the graduate (May 5, 7:30 p.m. at Hilton Coliseum) or veterinary medicine (May 7, noon at Stephens Auditorium) commencement ceremonies.
Iowa State's Hotel Memorial Union will help to serve growing student housing needs
Iowa State's Memorial Union and Department of Residence will convert Hotel Memorial Union guest rooms to temporary student residence hall space beginning this fall. Repurposing the space will add up to 80 student beds on central campus. The MU housing will be operated like all other residence halls, with support from community advisers and other Department of Residence staff. Returning students who have a current 2016-17 residence contract have the option of selecting MU housing beginning April 28. Those interested can learn more at http://housing.iastate.edu/places/halls/mu.
Iowa school teams, individuals head to science and technology world championship
School students from across the state are heading to the FIRST Championship in St. Louis. They'll demonstrate what they've researched, built and learned in LEGO League and robotics programs. The whole idea is to inspire kids to be the "innovators, doers, and tinkerers of tomorrow."
Clothing made from tea byproduct could improve health of fashion industry
The fashion industry generates a lot of waste, which is why a team of Iowa State University researchers developed a new fiber that's 100 percent biodegradable. Researchers are testing the fiber – made from a green tea byproduct – to see if it's a viable alternative.
Jolly named Iowa State human sciences dean
Laura Dunn Jolly, professor of textiles, merchandising and interiors at the University of Georgia, Athens, has been appointed the next dean and Dean's Chair of the College of Human Sciences. She will join the university July 5. Jolly succeeds current Dean and University Professor Pam White, who is retiring after more than 40 years of service to Iowa State.

"Telportia is a marvel natural world, a true testament to our arcane understanding."
-General Ayanda to Lord Reidwald in the meeting to decide on the matters of the war.
An ancient people built mystical fortresses made of melted stone; from the wall's these fortresses defenders appeared to burn with a powerful energy and strike at their opponents with a supernatural force. Today most of these forts are abandoned and the art that made them lost.
"The perfect execution, painless, quiet, and beautiful"
-Archmage Sret
One day nothing, two weeks later they had a pre-con base deployed and instead of a stagnant zone we had a category three offensive breathing down our neck, damn the bastards who came up with that monstrosity, and our own bastards for not having any of our own!
We charged their walls but the defenses held us off, hidden bunkers sprang out of nowhere and turrets wreaked havoc on our forces. Gun pits blasted our army to pieces and we pulled back a shell came out of the sky and destroyed several siege towers, we where finished.
Castle Merciless. Home of He who dwells in nightmares.
"The time I spent in East Point was almost as hard as time in a military prison would be," said the Colonel to his junior officers, " but I am pleased that I went there as it made me who I am today.
When the king ordered the 'igh Necromancer put to death, 'is laboratory just up and walked away!
Lieutenant Andrews, 22nd Imperial Guard Division
Clock Tower of Elmwood - It appears ready to topple, but it has always appeared that way as far back as any living could remember.
Castle Strelock is well known from the crimson banners on the towers and the vines on it's walls, and from the rumours and tales of the beautiful damsel trapped within it.
A beacon of brilliant white stone surrounded by black, clutching death..
The Great King long ago ceased attempting to police the wastelands of his Border Marches, and these debatable lands fell into the hands of petty counts, retired generals, and warlords, who constructed and then abandoned many keeps ripe for plunder.
Near the center of the forest are the hidden halls that house the Court of Dark Memory, one of the last bastions of the Unseleigh Courts.
It is said in the hidden myths of the banned and hunted Cult of Ma-O, that the Seamus Straits are where Ma-O fell when the god Jove hurled him from heaven. His physical body was smashed into pieces of amethyst and his spirit trapped within the warm waters. Here under the waves, once when built on dry land the pride and joy of the De Madden Company, Castle Seamus is now occupied by a unique underwater tribe.
In the realms, not all fortifications are walls of wood, stone and iron.
Some hear The Blue calling them. They would rather embrace it than stay another day.
Most towers and baileys are defensive, protecting defenders from attackers. This keep tower and bailey is used to protect everyone else from what is within.
It is a common conceit that banks, loans, investment and other features of the banking and financial system are entirely modern. This is far from the truth, as long as there has been money, there have been people who profitted from holding it and manipulating it.
Baldamont Castle is one of the great Line of Civilization defensive posts created by the vassels of the Great King Arcturus to defend the realm from the Barbaric Northmen. Over the last two centuries, the Line of Civilization has move considerably north, leaving great castles without barbarians to defend against. Yet this castle still defends the realm, not by repelling invaders, but by holding enemies of the state.
It is massive and grey. It nearly blots out the sun as you approach. Soon it will be the last time you will see the horizon.
Cold Comfort is a long-sword of star-steel, its blade giving off a wan, blueish light. Its grip is wrapped tightly in snow-serpent hide, and its pommel bears a single opalescent gemstone.
This blade is enchanted in such a way, that whoever wields it, begins to fall completely and irrevocably "in love" with the weapon. This love does not manifest itself as the expected reverence and bond formed between any warrior and his weapon, but as a deeper, truer love, one has for a soul-mate of the same species! The longer the wielder carries Cold Comfort the stronger and more disturbing this love becomes, and only the most powerful of magicks can potentially break the sword's insidious spell. The blade's owner will even speak to and coo to the weapon, convinced that the sword understands and returns this epic love.
If the blade's wielder somehow loses the weapon or has it taken away, they will become inconsolable, and will predictably go to "ends of the earth and back" to retrieve it at any cost. Such is the weapon's curse that even separation from it does not damper the feelings the owner has for the sword. Legends tell of several distraught and mind-addled knights who even years after losing the blade, still wander the country-side searching for their lost love. And woe be to the "new lover" if and when they find him or her.

Submitted by: Brooke on Oct 20, 2008We recently purchased one of john and michelles pups. We have had the best results ever. John and Michelle invited us into their home anytime was wanted. They kept in contact with us from when they were born to the day we picked him up. He is a very nice looking lab, great temperment and features. I would recommend anyone considering purchasing a lab to check out John and Michelle's site!

Christchurch's smiling bank robber, who held up the ANZ Woolston branch with a fake bomb and detonator, has been jailed for two years and four months.
In the Christchurch District Court yesterday, Timothy Daniel Whelan, 22, unemployed, was sentenced on a charge of aggravated robbery of the Ferry Rd bank on September 24.
Defence counsel Michael Starling said Whelan, of Parklands, went into the bank with a device he had created and waited until the people who were being served had left.
The device had wires attached, but there was no risk of harm to anyone.
Starling said a clinical psychologist's report stated Whelan planned the heist and then became fixated with it.
Crown prosecutor Nicola Robson said the offending had not been well thought through. The co-offender who drove Whelan to and from the bank had also been charged, she said.
Reparation of $2525 was sought by the bank, and an order for the destruction of the imitation bomb and false detonation device was sought by the Crown.
Judge David Holderness said Whelan entered the bank with the intention of demanding and taking money.
Whelan had financial difficulties after he resigned from his job, and he planned the offending over several days.
Whelan taped several batteries and a switch together, put them in a plastic container and attached wires to make it look like a detonator.
He approached a female teller who thought he was joking, but he showed her the false detonator and she handed over $5660 in cash.
Holderness said there was no risk of physical harm to anyone in the bank, but they were not to know that.
Whelan had previously observed the premises and had decided in advance that that bank would be the target for the robbery, and he took a significant amount of money, he said.
Police had recovered some of the money, but Whelan was unable to tell them what he had spent the rest on, he said.
He sentenced Whelan to two years and four months' prison, and ordered a reparation payment of $2525, and asked for a departmental psychologist report for the Parole Board.
Whelan was arrested after police released his security-camera image and it appeared in the media.
He was smiling in the picture and did not try to conceal his identity.

On Thursday, U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said he will accelerate stimulus spending and announce $1.5 billion in TIGER Discretionary Grants as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) one month early. The TIGER (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) Discretionary Grant program will award Recovery funds on a competitive basis to projects that have a significant impact on the nation, a region or metropolitan area and can create jobs and benefit economically distressed areas.
"Our top priority with the Recovery Act is to get money out the door quickly in order to put people to work and get the economy back on track," said Secretary LaHood.
As part of the ongoing effort to accelerate spending, Secretary LaHood created a review team to expedite the application process for the $1.5 billion TIGER Discretionary Grant program, which will enable the U.S. Department of Transportation to announce the grants in January 2010 - one full month ahead of the statutory deadline.
"By awarding these Recovery dollars ahead of schedule, we'll be able to jump start major-impact projects and boost local economies across America even more quickly," Secretary LaHood said.
Further information on the $1.5 billion TIGER Discretionary Grant program can be found here.

Book list Question - Grade 5
Started by boy0hboy , Dec 02 2012 12:18 PM

Posted 02 December 2012 - 12:18 PM
Just trying to figure out what we need from my son's book list for grade 5 next year.
On it there are a few things that I'm a bit puzzled by!
Why would he need two pairs or scissors? Two wooden rulers and one plastic ruler? Do I really need them at the start of the year??
We're homeschoolers so this is the first time I've had to do this!
Posted 02 December 2012 - 01:15 PM
My DD2 is going into grade 5 next year, and yep they need 2 wooden rulers and 2 sharpeners, but only one pair of scissors.
Really have no idea why, maybe they think that the kids will lose or break them at some point during the year, so then they will have a spare.
In the younger grades two pairs of scissors probably would have been a good thing, I noticed helping in the classrooms that after awhile the scissors started to become blunt and sticky from using them with glue and different art materials.
I always keep multiples of anything like pens, textas, rulers and coloured pencils at home, that way my kids could say when the needed a new one and it didnt disappear at school to someone else who couldnt be bothered filling their booklist at all (we did have one child in class who would fill his pencil case with stuff 'borrowed' from everyone else).
My kids also got into the habit of bringing home their pencil cases at each school holiday so I could restock if required with new pencils or glue sticks.

When DS brought a list of "top up" stationery he needed home in the last school holidays, I had everything he needed in a big snaplock bag on the top of the fridge because I had reserved all double ups at the beginning of the year. We actually have so much stationery at hme, that I won't have to buy basics for the kids for a few years - I'll just dig through the box in the garage. Most of it has been gathered from pencil cases at the end of the year which have come home after stationery orders have gone in for the next year ...

Remembrance of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu
Now that the mourning is over, a remembrance. One day in 2004, Mr. Chris Uba, the then number one renegade in Anambra State visited Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, Ikemba Nnewi at his home in Enugu. Chris Uba's minder walked in first, briskly and firmly like a he-goat who knew the way to the barn. Uba followed, two measured steps behind, with hands clasped together behind his back. His ubiquitous sense of importance, common with Ogbete market traders, was missing. He looked subdued and humbled.
"Nna anyi, Ikemba," his minder greeted.
"Good day, Sir," Uba followed suit, his lanky body tilting down in a show of respect.
Ikemba, sitting comfortably in his sofa nodded his head. Ikemba's open door policy meant that unexpected visitors would often wander in. But none like this had ever been imagined. Ikemba's face did not reveal any surprise, neither was there any aura of excitement.
"Sir," Uba's minder commenced, "this is Eselu. He has come to see you."
Ikemba focused his deep piercing eyes on Chris Uba. It made Uba uncomfortable. To calm Uba down, Ikemba said, "Hope all is well that you decided to visit me today?"
Uba was still fidgeting. In the presence of Ikemba he looked uneasy. Unlike the colossus he had come to believe he was, in Ikemba's home, he fell short. Determined to deliver his message, Uba wasted no time with pleasantries.
"Sir," Uba began, "I came to see you because the president is coming to visit me."
Ikemba raised his hand and Uba paused. He tilted his head as a check on whether what he was hearing was correct.
"Did you say the president is coming to visit you?" Ikemba rephrased.
"Yes, Sir. President Obasanjo is coming to visit me." Uba replied proudly. For the first time, a line of smile flashed through his run-of-the-mill face.
Ikemba gently swung his hand up and it signaled Uba to continue.
"I want to invite you to come and break kola," Uba said, unsure if he had used the right words.
"You are inviting me to your house?" asked Ikemba, pokerfaced. It made Uba feel more awkward.
"Yes, Sir," Uba answered, this time more unsure than before. "I think it would be good if you come and break kola. That way, the president will know that we have people in this town."
Ikemba swallowed a lump of hot air. He wanted to say something but paused. He seemed to be struggling to constrain himself. As Ikemba battled to find an appropriate response, Uba was visibly worried. Uba glanced at his minder just as his minder was glancing at him. Uncharacteristically, Uba resigned to his faith.
"Have I visited your house before?" Ikemba asked after what seemed like a decade of silence.
"No, Sir," Uba responded in a shaky voice.
"You just want me to come and break kola nut because the president is visiting you?"
Uba did not answer. For the first time, he was not sure if "yes sir" would suffice this time.
Equally, Ikemba did not wait for an answer. He raised his back off the sofa. His chest puffed out.
"Let's say you are at home - you are relaxing" Ikemba said after settling comfortably in a new imposing posture. "Let's say you are having a quiet time with your household, maybe drinking beer or palm wine. Then, a knock is heard on your gate. If your door man runs into the house and tells you that Odumegwu Ojukwu is at your door, what will you do?"
Uba looked confused. The veins on his face all popped out. He did not know where the question was leading to and what answer might be suitable. He had his mouth wide open but no word came out.
"What will you do?" Ikemba questioned again, this time his voice was raised.
Uba was visibly rattled. Hot sweat began to drop down his armpits. His demeanor quickly changed to that of a man poised for flight.
"Won't you open the nearest window and jump out?" Ikemba yelled. "Won't you?"
"Yes, I would," Uba answered, almost jumping off his feet.
With that, Ikemba settled back into his sofa and continued to enjoy his day.
Uba hurriedly walked out with his minder. Outside Ikemba's compound, he said to his minder, "It seems I messed things up."
It is a special remembrance for those privileged to have known Ikemba in public and in private, those chanced to have watched him dramatize stories like the one above. Ikemba told this story while answering my question on why people like him were at home and things were going terribly wrong. In his answer, Ikemba said that the problem was that nobody was telling people like Chris Uba "taa, mechie onu," hey, shut your mouth.
"The history of the world" Carlyle Thomas wrote, "is but the biography of great men." No doubt, the history of Nigeria from 1967 to 1970 will essentially reflect nothing but the biography of Emeka Ojukwu. No matter how much this generation or upcoming generation despises him, Ojukwu will always be remembered by history because he fulfilled one of the only two conditions necessary for history to remember- "write something worth reading or do something worth writing about." Irrespective of what anyone thinks about the man, Ojukwu did something worth writing about. He led the Igbo in a war of survival. One thousand years from now, historians can write and rewrite history, but history will forever acknowledge that fact.
A cursory look at history will reveal that many historical individuals who are qualified to be tagged rebels came from wealthy families. The Karl Marxs, the Sigmund Freuds, Che Guevaras, the George Washingtons, all sacrificed the life of comfort for greater goals. Rebels of these categories all recognized that all the money in this world will not guarantee them a place in history, not even a footnote.
What is surprising is that in this age, the rich have developed cold feet towards making any change in the society. They live under the illusion that acquiring more and more wealth will secure them a lasting place in this world or in the world to come. Their definition of 'by any means necessary' only applies to the pursuit of wealth. If M. K. O. Abiola had not gone into politics to make a change, if he had died a natural death, 100 years from now, the history of Nigeria will have nothing to say about him.
Chief Emeka Ojukwu, by virtue of his role in the Nigeria civil war, has contributed to humanity. The Igbo should begin to acknowledge and celebrate his achievement and the contribution of his contemporaries. That is the only way to encourage others to pursue noble causes like the one he did.
The Confederates in the US Civil War fought an unjust war. They lost, yet, the South celebrates that part of their history and heritage. There is no reason why the Igbo who fought a just war should not do the same. All government houses in Igbo land should hoist the Biafran flag beside that of the Nigerian flag. School children in Igboland should be taught about the war from the Igbo perspective and not the perspective of the winners. In Virginia, Martin Luther King Jr's Day is also known as Robert E. Lee Day - Lee being a confederate general who led the South. The Igbo States should find a Nigerian holiday and give people like Emeka Ojukwu a share of the day. Those are necessary ways to ensure that the world does not forget and to warn that it must never happen. Streets, Mountains, Lakes and Rivers should be named after Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, Akanu Ibiam, M. I. Okpala and other heroes like them.
The battle to make history is not mere journey into vanity. It is the essence of our being. Those who came to this world and failed to leave a mark - a mark that would make the world a better place than they met it are complete losers. They are the ones who would be asked questions about what they did with the potentials bestowed upon them. Having enjoyed the contribution of others before us, it is pertinent that we make our own contributions.
The history that will matter tomorrow has not yet been written. In fact, historians who will write it are not yet born. So I am not worried about what some of us are saying about Ojukwu today. I am also not worried about whether we are willing to take bold steps to preserve the memories and papers of Ojukwu.
Those who in their quiet moments celebrate the passage of Ojukwu should know that a dead Ojukwu is more dangerous than a living one. What death took away from Ojukwu was his flesh- and its accompanying weakness. What death leaves behind is a pool of concentrated emotions- ideals in their purest forms, gratitude from non-participants, foresight for generations yet unborn. If Nigeria forgets what Ojukwu fought for, Nigeria is finished. If Igbo people forget what Ojukwu fought for, Nigeria is finished.
Had Ojukwu not drawn a line in the sand as demanded by the then Eastern House of Assembly and oha-na-eze ndi-igbo, chances are that the Igbo will today be bowing their heads towards Mecca. If the action of few Igbo military officers on January 16, 1966 was interpreted to be an Igbo action for which the Igbo had to pay with hundreds of thousands of their lives, why has the killing of the Igbo in the North continued virtually every year since the end of the war? How many other so-called Igbo coups have we had? Following the same logic, why shouldn't the actions of northern killers be interpreted to be the action of the north? Isn't it ironic that Gowon's people who led the assault on the Igbo on behalf of Nigeria are now at the receiving end of the fanatical elements in the North?
No hero escapes vilification, not even Mother Theresa. Ojukwu is therefore not an exception. As humans, all heroes have their flaws. But no matter how big their flaws are, they do not remove anything from the hero's contribution. History does not get fixated on our inadequacies. History is built on the strength of our contributions.
Emeka Ojukwu was a legend. With death he will make that transition from a hero to a mythical figure. That was his destiny. His story has joined other epics of this world. The complexity, the duplications and the paradox will all remain essential parts of his exuberance. It is the fate of all icons and Ojukwu's own will not be different.
