No report at this time.
Academic Affair s Committee -- l\'Ir. Umphrey
Chairman Cofe r staled that an e a r lier telephone
conve r sation with Mr. Umph rey Indicated there
would be no repo rt at thiS time.
Dr. James E. Hayes , Director of Special Studies and Grants, reviewed
a planned program of " Equa lity of Educatlcnal Opportunity. " The plan
is to be tried on a limited scale as an experi mental project. It s hould
be noted thal we are a lready In progreSB In the saginaw area and such
nearby c ities as it seems appropriate for the location of ou r efforts in
gene ra\. It was also felt that there were advantages to our own students
in such a program as well as to the disadvantaged student. l\lore detailed
plans were discussed and questions answered. It was moved , secondcd
and carried that the Board accept the recommendations embodied in the
program and the tentatlve budget proposal for next year of $35. 000
covering salaries, tra vel, rec rUitment . confe rences and tutorial
aSSistance on a pilot basis be refe r red to the Finance Committee with a
request to provide as much of the requested funds as possible.
The Board acknowledged receipt of a communication from the local
chapter of the American Assoclatlon of Univers ity Professors regarding
the salary g r ievances and the Board's action rela t ive to the salary
schedule. Acknowledgement was also made of a communication from the
University Senate relat ive to the Board's action taken regarding grievances.
The Boa rd's position was summarized in the statement that there was no
intention on its part to be arbit rary or unilateral without consultat ion with
the faculty. Because of timing In the fiscal a nd academiC year, an earl}'
solution to the problem was imperative and the Board in all good faith
tried to both settie the matte r of grievances a nd to give raises that would
be acceptable and fair. Further, to develop a new salary s ystem the most
acceptable and democratic manne r in which to proceed appeared to be to
refer the matte r back to the Senate and facu lty for deliberation in
consultation with the Board. it is the desire of Lhe Board that dialogue
result in a fair and satisfactory solution to the salary system.
A ccmmunication from the Chairman of the Joint Administrative- Faeulty
Salary Committee for a meeting with some members of the Board was
discussed. Chairman Cofer asked the Academic Affairs Committee to
meet with the salary Committee prior to the next meeting of the l30ard
on July 17, 1968.
Dr. Bovee reported on pr oblems created in ou r construction program
due to the labor s t r ike s. Work on the new library building, southwest
quadrangle and marr ied hous ing units ceased during the early part of
May. Remodeling p rojects planned for the summer must be defer red
until a settlement Is reached. BIds on newly authorized bu ild ings
cannot be taken. Dr . Bovee reviewed the attempts being made to solve
the matte r of hous ing for our projected enrollments in the fa ll.
A communication from Ule Unive rsity Senate regaroing the revised
Constitution was acknowledged. It is to be t ransmitted to Pre side nt
Elect Boyd s nd di scussed at the July 17 meeting.
Dr. Moore re ported on the progress of a program for the bache lor of
chemical enginee ring degree. The program is now ready for submiss ion

ATLANTA (AP) -- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says black women are 40 percent more likely to die of breast cancer than white women are.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among American women, but the CDC's Ileana Arias says black women have "unacceptably high" death rates. She says they have the "highest death rates from breast cancer among all racial and ethnic groups."
Arias says many lives could be saved each year with proper screening and treatment, stressing the importance of educating black women to coverage provided by the new health care law, including mammograms without co-pays in many health plans.

Cloud Cult had its late-night television debut on Last Call With Carson Daly. A friend andI were at that taping, and that was my introduction to this wonderful band.Since then, I�ve immersed myself in several of Cloud Cult�s recordings. Andyes, this is the kind of music you want to immerse yourself in, sink into, andexplore. This band has its own particular sound, creates its own universe. Thesound can be dense and intricate, gorgeous and moving, but always, alwaysinteresting.
They�ve become known for their live shows, where theyhave artists paint to the music. And no, they�re certainly not the first bandto do this. But theirs is the kind of music that lends itself to this sort of explorationand interpretation in other art forms. The paintings are then auctioned off, sofans can take home a singular souvenir of the concert.
Cloud Cult is also known for its environmentally friendlyCD packaging. The case for Love ismade of 100% post-consumer recycled paperboard, and the plastic CD tray is madefrom recycled plastic with at least 35% post-consumer materials.
All of that is wonderful. But of course what is mostimportant is the music. Lovefeaturessome excellent material, my favorites being "You're The Only Thing InYour Way," "Good Friend" and "Meet Me Where You're Going." All of thesongs on this album were written by Craig Minowa.
�You�re The OnlyThing In Your Way�
Love opens witha beautiful, sad tune titled �You�re The Only Thing In Your Way.� This is aseriously strong track, and is one of my favorites. It begins like a folk tune,with acoustic guitar and vocals, his voice right in your ear as he sings �Drive, baby, drive, until your trouble�sgone/Run, baby, run, until it all goes numb.� This one really hits me, in part because ofthe lines, �Nothing here can get in yourway/You�ve come too far to care what they say/Now you�re the only thing in yourway.� But of course sometimes that�s the toughest, most formidableobstacle. I absolutely love this song.
�It�s YourDecision�
�It�s Your Decision� begins with strings, soundinggorgeous. This song starts slowly, with the lines �Will you sink today/Or let it float away/It�s your decision.� Thenthere are wonderful touches on piano as the song builds with the drums � untilit bursts to another plateau. It has a great, powerful build. Turn this one up,let it sweep you up in its arms and carry you. �I�ve got work to do/Disarming land mines/If I hold it in, I�ll justblow up again/My trigger finger�s twitching.�
�Love And TheFirst Law Of Thermodynamics�
�Love And The First Law Of Thermodynamics� is a reallyinteresting instrumental track that takes you on a journey. Close your eyes,and see what imagery it evokes for you.
�Good Friend�
�Good Friend� is probably my favorite song on this album.I seriously dig the drums on this track. They kick off the song with a great,powerful groove. The lyrics are good as well: �We are not broken ones/Just shattered pieces of the same brightsun/Trying to figure out which way to run/And we can�t do this alone/All I needis a good, good friend/To get me through this.� And this song itself has afriendly feel to it. It is a song to make you feel closer to the rest ofhumanity, a sort of reminder that our basic needs are the same. It�s a song toremove all the layers of nonsense we coat ourselves with.
�Meet Me WhereYou�re Going�
�Meet Me Where You�re Going� is another of my favorites.It has a friendly folk feel, with positive lyrics like, �Every day with you I say I do/And it means so much more each time.�This is a song to raise one�s spirits and bring people together. It�s a sweetlove song, with a pretty a cappella section where the voices blend welltogether.
�Sleepwalker� features some cool percussion to kick itoff. The song is a call to those who sleepwalk through their lives to wake upbefore it�s too late. Craig Minowa asks, �Whereis your passion? Where is your wonder? Where is your thankfulness?� Thesong soon explodes with a heavy energy, and even has some techno elements. It thenbecomes quiet, intimate again � �Where isyour joyfulness? Where is your empathy?� It�s a fantastic song.
�The Show StartsNow�
Love concludeswith �The Show Starts Now,� which features the line �I want to be the guy who lives in the moment, not so lost in my mind.�That�s a line I can relate to. It turns out not to be all that easy, at leastas I�ve found it. �The Show Starts Now� also has some wonderfully aggressivedrumming.
CD Track List
You�re The Only Thing In Your Way It�s Your Decision Complicated Creation 1x1x1 All The Things We Couldn�t See The Calling LoveAnd The First Law Of Thermodynamics Good Friend Meet Me Where You�re Going Sleepwalker It Takes A Lot Catharsis The Show Starts Now
Love is scheduledto be released on March 5, 2013 through Earthology Records, the band�s ownlabel.

Location: Plant Germplasm Introduction and Testing
Project Number: 2090-21000-028-01
Start Date: Jan 01, 2010
End Date: Dec 31, 2014
Seeds collected from diverse areas in the Great Basin will be used in common garden studies at Central Ferry, WA, and either at Reno or Fallon NV, cooperative with University of Nevada and the Fallon Plant Material Center. Each garden will consist of seeds collected from at least 100 diverse locations. For each location there will be two families represented in a randomized block design with 6 replications. This will result in 1200 to 1800 plants per site per species. Numerous traits describing plant growth and devleopment will be measured on each plant. Analyses of variance will be conducted for each trait to determine seed source variation. Previous work with Mountain Brome, Tapertip onion, Bluegbunch wheatgrass and Indian ricegrass all show strong genetic variation across the landscape. So this result is expected for most species and suggests differences in adaptation to local environments. Principal components will be used with regression analysis to model the relationship between plant traits and local environmental factors such as precipitation, temperature and elevation. This will provide the basis for mapping seed adaptation zones.

GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany - Veteran Squaw Valley racer Marco Sullivan finished 19th to lead the U.S. Ski Team in a shortened Audi FIS Alpine World Cup downhill in Germany on Saturday.
Birds of Prey downhill champion Christof Innerhofer of Italy claimed his third win of the season.
The race course was shortened after heavy snow covered the Kandahar course over night, making track preparation of the upper section difficult.
"I was good on top and then hit a little soft on the lower turns and that's where I lost all my speed," Sullivan said. "Everyone has been saying I took the tightest line through the turny midsection, but then I got caught up in the bumps. Still it was a good result. I'm 13th in the downhill standings right now and it's pretty tight around that group. If I have a good result in Norway next week, I'll have a shot at finishing out the season in the top 10."
Early starters Travis Ganong of Squaw Valley and Steven Nyman finished 33rd and 42nd, respectively.
"They did a good job clearing the snow so the track itself was hard snow, but you didn't want to get out of the track at all," Sullivan said. "The top flat especially got a little faster throughout the day and that made it really tough for Steven and Travis, who had early start bibs. You saw guys just outside the top 30 coming in with some really good finishes. Safe to say, it wasn't the best day for the USA, but we're going to turn that around in Norway."
In his first race after taking triple gold at the World Championships, Ted Ligety finished third in the giant slalom in Garmisch on Sunday.
Ligety has now finished on the podium of all six World Cup giant slalom races this season, with four victories and two third-place finishes. He leads the GS standings 520-415 over Austrian Marcel Hirscher, who was second to Frenchman Alexis Pinturault in Pinturault's first career GS win. Austrian Marcel Hirscher was second.
"Third place is not what you want to be getting at this stage, but I'll take it," Ligety said. "In the first run I just made a ton of little mistakes and in the second I was lucky not to get into too much soft snow."
Ligety was fifth after the first run, .66 behind German Felix Neureuther, who tied for 12th with Truckee High grad Tim Jitloff after a big mistake.
Ligety and Jitloff will head to Sochi, Russia, to train on the 2014 Olympic venue prior to competing in Kvitfjell, Norway, in a downhill and super G.

FILE - In this Sunday, June 6, 2010 file photo, a small oil-covered fish floats on the water's surface at Bay Long off the coast of Louisiana. An April 20, 2010 explosion at the BP Deepwater Horizon offshore platform killed 11 men, and the subsequent leak released an estimated 172 million gallons of petroleum into the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf oil spill settlement trial has started in New Orleans, Monday, Feb. 25, 2013. U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier is scheduled to hear several hours of opening statements Monday by lawyers for the companies, federal and state governments and others who sued over the disaster. Barbier is hearing the case without a jury. The trial is designed to identify the causes of BP's well blowout and assign percentages of fault to the companies. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel, File)

I waited out all night for these tickets outside the newly finished multi-million dollar symphony hall at MSU The Wharton Center for the Performing Arts (originally scheduled venue for show). I don't know the complete story but all of us who waited out that night saw the Wharton Center staff absolutely floored that there was 80-100 kids camping out for these tix. We had a good time that cold fall night. Thanks to my brothers Jason Ostro and Kevin Washington for bringing us supplies that night. Next thing you know, venue change to the old dingy MSU AUD.
The night of the show finally came and I remember vividly being more anxious and excited waiting outside to get in to that show than I'd ever been. I don't know if I was just freshman year of college and the first big show on campus that year or all the amazing new friends I was going with, bit that anticipation was electric.
Once the show started I was already hooked. I never stood a chance. The first set was full of new sounds and visuials for me. Before this show my best live show was a Billy Joel show at Chrysler Arena. We sat about ten rows back right on the center asile. I can remember thinking "I have to see this band whenever they are whithin driving distance" They ended the set with a guest appearance by Jeff Mosier and some bluegrass favorites. Little did I know at the time this was not a usual occurance. Maybe that's why I ways go ape for bluegrass Phish.
The second set was all I needed to hear to cement the addiction. I'd never heard a band that sounded like that and I loved it.
By the next week I had a bunch of tapes I began to wear out.
19 years later and I still can't stop listening to his incredible band. I hope they play forever.

Recently I mentioned that sharing your own story is important, and I found a site today (thanks, Matt Algren) that shares about a million personal coming out stories. http://www.imfromdriftwood.com/ Okay, maybe not a million, but there are a lot. Youtube alone has 61 uploaded stories for I'm from Driftwood.
I'm so glad the creator, Nathan Manske, is the self-proclaimed geek that he is, and seems to be quite a developer of his ideas. The additional staffers are Rafi Mittlefehldt, Marquise Lee, and Jessie Tilton Some of the stories are funny, some sad, and of course, from each person there is something that touches your soul.
When someone shares their own story, it provides value in many ways. For one, there is nothing new under the sun, and so you find others who have been where you are, and there is shared understanding. Two, as humans who seek to identify with others with whom we don't share a background, and it helps us empathize and understand. As the stories are read or listened to, we gain common information that we would not have otherwise, and we grow.
I hope the stories are read, watched, and understood. Well done, Driftwood people.

A picture is worth a thousand words. It is said so often it has become trite. But the truth of the statement is not lessened. A good photograph can capture reality and evoke emotion unlike any words. One picture can tell a life's story in a moment. It can demand one's attention, prove a point, magnify a sentiment, and capture a slice of beauty forever—all in a single glance.
Photography has changed the world. Look at great works like the FSA photographs documenting the Great Depression, or visit National Geographic's web photo galleries. A good photographer must learn the art of seeing the opportunities that exist all around and then decide the best way to capture them.
This contest is meant to encourage homeschool students to learn and develop the skills of good, powerful photography.

Believe it or not, Vermont has about 83% the solar capacity that Miami, Florida has. And now making solar work for homeowners is more affordable too. The thirteenth home in the town of Milton today had solar panels installed thanks to a program through the Vermont business SunCommon. Conservation Correspondent Bridget Butler met with two homeowners to learn how they made the switch to energy from the sun.

The Americans: Watching, Waiting
SÃO PAULO—With three days to go before their round-of-16 showdown Tuesday with Belgium, the U.S. team was slightly delayed in starting practice Saturday. The reason? Same excuse the rest of this country and much of the world had—they were watching the end of the Brazil-Chile match. (Brazil won on penalties.)
Welcome to the knockout round of the World Cup. "You know every game could be your last," midfielder Michael Bradley said.
On Sunday morning, the U.S. team heads to Salvador, where it will face a Belgian team that blazed through European qualifying and won all three group-stage games. The Americans are scheduled to practice in Salvador Sunday afternoon, then again Monday at the Arena Fonte Nova, but may not be able to use the stadium field. The northern part of Brazil has been pelted by rain the past few weeks and organizers have had to pull out all the stops to keep the stadium turf in playable shape.
Jozy Altidore, who is nursing a strained hamstring, took the field with the team on Saturday but didn't work with the ball early in the practice. Then he put on his jogging shoes and began doing laps around the field. While the team remains optimistic that he could play against Belgium, the more time he spends in running sneakers the less likely his return seems.
After surviving the most difficult group in the tournament, a seeming lightness has fallen over the U.S. team, mixed with a dose of determination to keep surprising people who didn't expect the U.S. to make it to the World Cup's second phase.
For defender DaMarcus Beasley, this is suddenly familiar territory. Beasley was on the U.S. teams that went to the quarters in 2002 and the round of 16 in 2010, as well as the one that lost all three matches in 2006. He is the first American to be on four World Cup teams.
"I like the big games," said Beasley, who spoke with the media for the first time since he arrived in Brazil nearly three weeks ago. "Under the lights in front of 80,000 people. It gets the nerves out of me."
Omar Gonzalez, who replaced Geoff Cameron in the back line for the third game, said coach Jurgen Klinsmann hasn't told the team who is starting against Belgium. Gonzalez said the coaches told him two days before the Germany game that he would get the nod. He said Klinsmann usually gives the team the lineup the day before the game, or in some cases the day of the game.
"Tuesday is still a few days away," Gonzalez said.
But getting closer all the time.

Nashua police working on records detailing the disposal, release of out of commission weapons, equipment
In January, aldermen approved the department's purchase of 154,000 rounds of .40-caliber Smith & Wesson ammunition, 4,000 rounds of .308-caliber rifle ammunition, 10,000 rounds of .223-caliber semi-automatic rifle ammunition, and 31,500 rounds of 5.56x45-caliber ammunition and 22 bullet-proof vests over the remaining fiscal 2013 budget year. With that in mind, we wondered where the rest of the department's hundreds and thousands of dollars worth of equipment goes when it is considered out of commission?

It's pretty simple, really--all I have to do is imagine Neko or Tux, and take away anything that doesn't look like them. I did a crab and a sand castle too, for variety.
Tomorrow, I'll build a series of cat sculptures on dry sand.

Roger wins Olympic gold medal!
Roger made up for the disappointment of missing out in the singles by winning his first Olympic gold medal as he teamed up with Stanislas Wawrinka to claim the doubles title on Saturday. The Swiss pair beat Simon Aspelin and Thomas Johansson of Sweden 6-3, 6-4, 6-7, 6-3.
Against Johansson and Aspelin, Roger's thumping groundstrokes and Stan's impressive backhand gave the Swiss the early advantage. After winning the first set, they soon broke to lead 3-1 in the second before the Swedes responded. It took a tie-break, which Johansson and Aspelin won, to decide the third set. A brilliant reaction volley from Roger helped break Aspelin again at the start of the fourth set, our star eventually serving out the match.
"It is like a fantastic dream comes true, I feel really happy to win the gold medal. It is great, I enjoy that," said Roger in the mixed zone. "I have tried for several times to get a medal, and I came really close to the medal in Sydney where I finished fourth. Since then I can't stop thinking that If I am the best player in the world, I should do the same in the Olympics, and then finally I made it, it is really special also because it is for Switzerland, you know, our country can not get so many medals at one Olympics, maybe one or two, but this time I got a gold medal, it is for my country, I really feel different, as it is for my country, it is different from the Grand Sam where I did it for just myself."
At the medals ceremony, when they played the Swiss national anthem and Roger and Stan stood on the highest platform, both were clearly on the edge of tears.
You are the best, simply the best. You ar
You are the best . Congratulation.
happyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy birthhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhdayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

North Texas Daily review of LBDP Tour show
Francis raps up spoken word
Rhode Island artist knocks rap, inspired by rock
Michael Walter
Staff Writer
February 11, 2003
Many a band has played Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios, 411 E. Sycamore St., but after Friday's show, that small club past the railroad tracks might never be the same.Rhode Island-based rapper Sage Francis, whose trademark style seamlessly blends spoken word poetry with hip-hop, performed a phenomenal set in front of a packed house Friday night, with Denton's DJ Rerog, Gruvis Malt and C. R. Avery opening.Rerog and Gruvis Malt were both entertaining, but Avery's was the first great performance of the night.The Canadian songwriter played exceptionally well, beatboxing his way through a cover of Tom Waits' "Big in Japan" and reciting a handful of inspired poems.At one point, he even sat down behind a small piano, crooning like Randy Newman.With Gruvis Malt backing him and a microphone in hand, Francis finally took the stage at about 11:30 p.m., kicking off a superb set that included a number of songs from his debut album, Personal Journals, a prank phone call to his old landlord and a hilarious spoof of Paul Simon's "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover."Despite growing up listening exclusively to early hip-hop acts, Francis has all but given up on the genre."I only listen to rock now," he said. "Hip-hop has become real meaningless to me, real diluted."Another reason for Francis' recent fascination with heavier music is a fear of crippling his own creativity."For me to be so involved with hip-hop, it would almost be incestuous to listen to [it]," he said.Fortunately, this has expanded his sound greatly, resulting in songs such as "Makeshift Patriot," which features both distorted guitars and a loud, chanted chorus.Francis even looked the part of a rock star, performing the song with an American flag draped over his shoulders as he raised his fist high in the air.Whether he's poking fun at President George W. Bush or expressing his distaste for mainstream rappers, Francis' lyrics and poems are always from the heart; something that is sadly becoming more and more uncommon in the rap community.

'Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2′ Wins Weekend Box Office
Teen vampires again took the top spot at the box office, beating out new, family-friendly competition from a gang of childhood heroes, as well as from the highly anticipated adaptation of the novel "Life of Pi," and boosting the Thanksgiving-weekend grosses to their highest ever totals.
"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2" took in $43.1 million, bringing its cumulative domestic total to $227 million after its second weekend in theaters. The film, from Lions Gate Entertainment's Summit Entertainment, has earned $577.7 million in cumulative world-wide grosses.
"Twilight" handily trumped two major new releases: "Rise of the Guardians," from DreamWorks Animation SKG, and "Life of Pi," from News Corp.'s Twentieth Century Fox.
"Rise of the Guardians"–about a band of childhood heros, including Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy, who protect childrens' imaginations–earned approximately $24 million in its first weekend in theaters. Studio executives are counting on an extended holiday season to bolster prospects for the $145 million film, distributed by Viacom's Paramount Pictures.
"With Thanksgiving at the earliest possible date, it gives us a longer period through New Year's, so we're really the only choice for families through the end of the year. And we've planned our marketing accordingly," said DreamWorks Chief Marketing Officer Anne Globe.
Fox's lavish adaptation of "Life of Pi," the 2001 novel from Yann Martel, took in $22 million in its first weekend in theaters. The approximately $115 million film, directed by Ang Lee, is expected to do healthy international business, and debuted at #1 in the four foreign countries territories in which it opened–China, India, Taiwan and Hong Kong–bringing in a total of $17.5 million.
News Corp. owns both Fox and The Wall Street Journal.
Two older releases continued strong performances over the weekend, with "Skyfall," the latest James Bond film, earning $36 million to put it in second place at the box office, and bring its cumulative domestic total to $221.7 million. And "Lincoln," the Steven Spielberg-directed film starring Daniel Day-Lewis," took in $25 million. "Lincoln," from DreamWorks Studios and distributed by Walt Disney, stood in third place, and has earned $62.2 million in cumulative domestic grosses.
Overall, the holiday weekend extended what has been a relatively robust run for Hollywood, with the five-day box office totals coming in at $290 million, the highest-ever for Thanksgiving weekend. With few significant releases set to open until "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," on Dec. 14, the industry must count on continued momentum from the films already in theaters.

Definition of prograde in English:
1 Astronomy (Of planetary motion) proceeding from west to east; direct. The opposite of retrograde.
Example sentences
- While this relatively simple model will explain prograde and retrograde motion qualitatively, it fails on detail, so additional complications were added to improve the fit to reality.
- Numerous small, distant satellites in both prograde and retrograde orbits have been discovered recently.
- These are all in circular prograde orbits near Neptune's equatorial plane, and they probably formed in place.
2 Geology (Of a metamorphic change) resulting from an increase in temperature or pressure or both. Compare with retrograde.
Example sentences
- Both thrust and normal faults initiated synchronously with Miocene prograde metamorphism and melting, and have moved episodically since then.
- These rocks display clear prograde metamorphism that peaks in granulite facies.
- The apparent critical temperature between 560 to 600°C for monazite growth at Ballachulish is broadly consistent with several previous studies of monazite in prograde metamorphic sequences.
verb[no object] Geology
(Of a beach or coastline) advance toward the sea as a result of the accumulation of waterborne sediment.
Example sentences
- The zone of active deltaic growth faulting (and margin-parallel maximum horizontal stress) has shifted basin-wards as the delta system has rapidly prograded across the shelf.
- Through time, the basin shrank as it filled with sediment that prograded inward along the margins, most rapidly along the Eastern Shelf.
- A slightly later phase of deglaciation occurred when the ice margin retreated north into St. George's Channel, forming the raised ice contact delta at the Screen Hills, which prograded southwards into high relative sea level.

- Overall the temporal progradation of nappe emplacement and high-pressure metamorphism towards the south mimics the southward retreat of the Hellenic subduction zone.
- Either allocyclic variations in fluvial discharge or the mouthward progradation of the fluvial system may explain the interbedded relationship of this facies with the cross-bedded sandstone.
- Autocyclic processes such as tidal-flat progradation or tidal-flat island progradation are also possible mechanisms for the Gibraltar cycles.

Shelby Shipley ('13) | Speech Pathology
Brownwood, Texas
For many college students, the thought of summer means going home, finding a job and relaxing. But for Shelby Shipley, her summer was the beginning of an adventure. A spur-of-the-moment decision led the Wildcat basketball player to Ghana, Africa.
If God is tugging on your heart strings, don't ignore it. Stepping outside of your comfort zone can be scary at times, but that is when you will experience the most growth and better understand the divine purpose God has for you on this earth.
"I went because God had been tugging on my heart about going to Africa," said Shipley, a senior speech pathology major and captain of the women's basketball team. "In April, I had met a pastor in Austin that was a friend of my cousins, and within five minutes of our conversation I told him I was going to Ghana with him in June. I met the other three adults in the airport in London. So honestly, I didn't even know the people I went with until I was actually in Africa."
The value of simplicity
While in Africa, Shipley was introduced to a new world and culture. The people were inviting, friendly and the culture unlike anything she had experienced.
"The people there were the happiest people I had ever met," Shipley says. "They don't worry about materialistic or petty things. They are all genuinely happy, which was amazing to see and experience."
Shipley went to help the people of Ghana, but it was actually they who helped her.
"One big thing I learned from this opportunity is the value of simplicity," Shipley says. "What is considered trash to us is treasure to them. You think you are going to go and teach them, when actually you are the one leaving changed for the better."
The trip had such a powerful effect on her that she is eager to return after graduation. She encourages others to take a similar chance.
"If God is tugging on your heart strings, don't ignore it," Shipley advises. "Stepping outside of your comfort zone can be scary at times, but that is when you will experience the most growth and better understand the divine purpose God has for you on this earth."

Hands up if you've never used a BIC pen in your life? No one... didn't think so.
BIC are currently running a small experiment to 'create' a universal typeface based on as much handwritten letters as they can collect. Using one of those fancy alogorithms an average is calculated from all the handwritten letters to arrive at the 'final' forms.
Broken into two main sections you can either contribute your own letters. Or Explore the letterforms already created by looking at different age groups, gender, country, handiness and industry. All in all a really interesting exercise in crowd sourcing.
I'm not sure what they plan to do with the finished result, but I'm keen to find out.

This week's Bread Baker's Apprentice Challenge was all about making the most fabulous cinnamon raisin bread you'd ever want to bite into. I'm not kidding. I'm a kidder by nature, but I'm not kidding about this. Even kidders-by-nature don't kid about such things as cinnamon raisin bread. This was... The. Best. Cinnamon. Raisin. Bread. Ever. (Have I made myself clear?)
When I think of cinnamon raisin bread, I'm automatically drawn toward the toasting of such. I don't think I've ever eaten cinnamon raisin bread without toasting it first, in fact. This bread's destiny is to be toast. (YEAH TOAST!) I apologize in advance for this audio clip, but it just tickles me every time I hear it on the radio.

DCH Health System expands charity care
Published: Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, February 16, 2013 at 8:12 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Each year, DCH Health System gives away more than $120 million in care — including charity care, which its hospitals decide to provide for free, and bad debt cases, in which payment is never made.
The health system is changing who is eligible for that free care. The DCH Health System board of directors voted unanimously this week to increase the threshold for charity care. Now, anyone who is within 200 percent of the federal poverty level — or makes about $44,700 or less for a family of four — can qualify for charity care at DCH Regional Medical Center, Northport Medical Center and Fayette Medical Center. Previously, only people who were within 100 percent of the federal poverty level were granted 100 percent charity care, said Nina Dusang, DCH vice president of finance. Patients who were at 150 percent of the federal poverty level were granted 50 percent charity care, and patients who were at the 200 percent of the federal poverty level were granted 25 percent charity care.
Now, that sliding scale has ended.
But there is no financial impact to the health system, because in most cases, the patients who were within 200 percent of the federal poverty level could not pay their hospital bills, and so their bills were paid for by the hospital and considered "bad debt," Dusang said.
"Historically, we weren't getting any of that, because they couldn't afford to pay," Dusang said. "The reality is, with our economic conditions, that 'bad debt' is charity care that we are giving at the 200 percent level."
The change is effective immediately.
Any patient who qualifies and is under the 200 percent poverty level can apply for charity care, either before their treatment or after.
"It's encouraged to apply and identify the need as soon as possible," Dusang said.
A portion of DCH's operating budget is paid for through a percentage of the countywide sales tax. DCH Health System receives 10 percent of the county sales tax specifically to pay for the health care of the poor.

Item #12269 Z Eastwood's ZDDP Oil Additive
About Eastwood ZDDP Oil Additive
After 70+ years, the EPA mandated that all oil domestic producers remove ZDDP (Zinc Dialkyl Dithio Phosphate) from all conventional and synthetic motor oils. If your engine was designed before 1989 the non-roller lifters require ZDDP to avoid premature deterioriation. ZDDP also alters bearing and journal surface characteristics to prevent metal to metal contact. Under extereme conditions like a high perfromance motor, ZDDP reduces the tendancy of parts to scuff or gall under heavy loads. Simply add Eastwood ZDDP Oil Additive to every 4-6 quart oil change and your motor will be protected.

December 12, 2005
On Monday the Richmond County Sheriff's Office released their top five unsolved murder list for 2005. And they're hoping you hold the information to solve them. News 12 tells you what investigators are looking for in these crimes.
Investigators think some of these murderers can be caught before the end of the year, but they need your help.
The family of Steve Martin grieves over his murder. He was shot in November outside Gunther's Lounge along with friend Michael Bogans.
But the family's pain continues because the murder suspects haven't been caught. Investigator Richard Roundtree knows the suspects and car descriptions in this case and is close to solving it.
"All we need to know is a name," Roundtree said.
And, investigators need help identifying this man. They say he murdered Laricky Sanders in September. They know the suspect was driving a white four-door car with plain hubcaps and a ticking noise.
"If we can get our hands on that vehicle and possibly the suspect who drives that vehicle, we can solve that case," Roundtree said.
Officers are also looking for three men who killed Melvin Dorsey in a home invasion. These suspects are difficult to find because they gunned down Dorsey in October wearing scream masks.
And you might remember this murder; Catrina Evans was stabbed in August and left in her apartment for days with her 1-year-old daughter. Investigators are interested in the activity at her Amsterdam Drive apartment leading up to the murder.
And Tiffany Nelson's killer is also on the list. The bones of the 9-year-old were found in Burke County this year, 11 years after her death.
"Unfortunately, because of the amount of time that has passed, it is a very difficult case to solve. But we feel it is a solvable case, someone knows something," Roundtree said.
Tiffany Nelson's case is being handled by Burke County investigators, but Richmond County officers said they couldn't leave her off the list since she went missing in Richmond County and her story is important to so many people.
There is a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspects. If you know anything, call the sheriff's office at 706-821-1080.

HAYWARD -- Hayward school trustees early Thursday took the final step to hire Stanley Dobbs as interim superintendent, after a discussion prolonged by one trustee's repeated questioning of the candidate's qualifications.
Dobbs, 47, returns to the district after leaving at the end of November to accept a job as chief financial officer for the San Diego Unified school district. A 26-year Navy veteran, he previously was Hayward's assistant superintendent for business services, completing 1½ years of a two-year contract.
Current Superintendent Donald Evans is leaving the Hayward district at the end of the month to take over as Berkeley superintendent.
Dobbs' contract calls for a $229,500 annual salary and $7,500 to cover relocation expenses. At Thursday's meeting, trustee Luis Reynoso questioned why Dobbs was being paid the same as Evans, saying Dobbs does not have the same qualifications as the outgoing superintendent, who has a doctorate in education and an administrative credential. Board President William McGee also expressed reservations.
"I'm not happy about the salary, but I can acquiesce," McGee said.
Trustees hired Dobbs as interim superintendent June 8 on a 4-1 vote, with Reynoso voting no. Dobbs was one of five candidates interviewed for the job.
Despite ultimately voting in favor of the contract on Thursday, Reynoso said over and over that the district should not be hiring someone who does not have a school administrative credential.
"We need qualified people who know about education," he said.
Rotary President Brian Schott, who served two terms on Hayward's Measure I bond oversight committee, reminded the board that in the past, the school district has hired superintendents with doctorates but still has fallen to last place in the county in test scores.
"You have had a community willing to pass bond measures and parcel taxes to support our district," he said. "Take the high road as you finalize your decision."
McGee said that under the state Education Code, a superintendent does not have to have a credential, and Evans agreed that a board can waive that requirement. McGee pointed out that other districts in California, including Oakland, have had superintendents without one. A credential is needed to evaluate teachers, but that's not the role of the superintendent, he said.
"We have school site personnel to do that," he said. "We're not out of line with what we're doing. This was the most qualified candidate."
Reynoso further questioned whether Dobbs would need a credential to evaluate assistant superintendents. Wayne Miller, assistant superintendent for human resources, said he would have to check with the district's legal counsel. Miller confirmed later Thursday that yes, Dobbs would legally be able to evaluate all of the district's top administrators.
The interim superintendent's contract was one of the last items on the board's agenda, and a vote was not taken until after midnight. As the night wore on, the council chambers began to empty, but former city Councilman Olden Henson remained to speak on behalf of Dobbs' performance while he worked with the Hayward district.
"When he said he was going to do something, he did it," Henson said, crediting Dobbs with improving collaboration between the district and city.
"Cmdr. Dobbs has the support of this community," said Henson, referring to Dobbs' rank when he retired from the Navy. "He has the support of the business community. Let's get this district rolling."
Dobbs was not at Wednesday's meeting but said in a prepared statement that he would be ready to begin work July 1.
"I want to thank the governing board for responding positively to the voice of the community. ... Through the execution of the board's vision, it is my goal to ensure that all children in Hayward are ready for the workforce challenges of the 21st century," Dobbs said.

Central Christian College head men's soccer coach Aaron Hoxie has announced the commitment of Jordan Howell, a senior from Wylie, Texas, to the 2013 soccer team. Howell played for Coach John True at Wylie East High School, where he earned recognition to the All District 2nd team. He comes to the college with a 3.1 GPA looking to study biology.
Hoxie said, on the field, Howell will add to the defensive unit that the staff has focused on this season.
"We intentionally went after many defenders because we only have one natural defender returning to the team this season," Hoxie said. "Jordan will give us much needed options on the outside. He is big for an outside back, fast, and loves to go forward. He spent some time playing as a winger for his various clubs, so that could provide handy for us this season."
The journey continues for the staff this season as they look to fill some very big holes in their lineup. Howell will be a great fit for the college this season. He will be joining his new teammates in a few short weeks.

SAN DIEGO -- After Giants outfielder Gregor Blanco saved Matt Cain's perfect game a year ago, Cain offered a variety of gifts.
"He asked me what I want -- a watch, car, house." Blanco said, laughing.
Blanco settled for being part of history. Hunter Pence said he will do the same.
Pence saved Tim Lincecum's no-hitter Saturday night against the San Diego Padres with a diving catch of Alexi Amarista's liner to right with two outs in the eighth. For Pence, the moment had extra significance. He is Lincecum's neighbor in the AT&T Park clubhouse, and Lincecum was one of the first Giants to greet Pence when the right-fielder was dealt to the team last summer.
Pence, who gave inspirational team-first speeches last October, said he was just thrilled he was able to be part of this moment.
"He doesn't have to buy me anything," Pence said, smiling. "I'm grateful I was able to be out there. It's an honor. I've never been on the defensive side of one of these."
The pitch was a slider and was Lincecum's 131st of the night. When Amarista hit it, Lincecum thought his bid was done.
"I thought it was a hit," Lincecum said. "But Hunter comes flying out of nowhere and makes a Superman catch."
Pence, nicknamed Full Throttle by teammates, got a good jump and snagged the ball a split-second before it hit the ground.
"You've got to push all your chips in at that point," Pence said. "Any ball I can remotely get close to, I've got to lay out."
Before he could even roll to his feet, Pence held up his glove, showing that he had caught the ball. Amarista fired his helmet into the dirt as Giants all around the field pumped their fists and screamed. Lincecum held up his fist, staring at Pence as he walked off the mound. He knew that Pence had kept him on the mound.
"He was coming out of the game at that point," manager Bruce Bochy said when asked what would have happened had the ball dropped.
Lincecum made sure the catch didn't go to waste.
For two players who will soon be free agents, no gift is needed. But Lincecum might not be in the clear. As Pence insisted he didn't need a car, first baseman Brandon Belt piped up from his spot two lockers down.
"He better buy me one of those," he said.

Clarkfield Civic and Commerce is hosting a haunted hayride and other Halloween fun events on Saturday, October 27 from 5 p.m.-9 p.m. at the Emergency Medical Services building and North Park in Clarkfield.
Clarkfield Civic and Commerce will be meeting to discuss the event at their regular meeting on Tuesday night, Oct. 16, at 6 p.m. at City Hall. Those wishing to participate and volunteer for the event are encouraged to attend.
"Right now we're mostly looking for people to dress up and be around Saturday night and maybe get involved in scaring some people," said Clarkfield City Administrator Scott Weske about the need for volunteers.
Family friendly hayrides are scheduled for 5 p.m.-7 p.m. with haunted hayrides (more appropriate for older age levels) set to take place after that until 9 p.m.
"The plan now is to take families out on rides around the big loop roadway through North Park," said Weske. "Later the ride will divert a little more, down through the trees in the park for a good scare."
During the hayrides refreshments will be served at the EMS building. There, games like "Pin the nose on the pumpkin" and "Halloween bean bag toss" will be set up.
A children's costume contest is scheduled for 6 p.m.
Pricing for the event is expected to be set at Tuesday night's Civic and Commerce meeting. Yet attendees can expect $1 off their ticket if they bring a canned food item for the local food shelf.
This event is being held in lieu of the Civic and Commerce sponsored Clarkfield Haunted House, which has been held in the community for over a decade. Roughly 100-150 kids would attend that event each year.
If you are interested in volunteering for the event, or would like more information call City Hall at (320) 669-4435, or contact a Clarkfield Civic and Commerce member.

Economists React: The Fiscal Cliff 'Can't Be Fully Avoided'
The countdown to the "fiscal cliff," the across-the-board spending cuts and tax increases scheduled to hit at year-end unless Congress and President Barack Obama agree on an alternative, has begun. Economists and others weigh with their opinions about U.S. fiscal policy and predictions about how negotiations between the president and congressional Republicans will shake out.
–Maintaining the existing law, where all of the tax cuts expire and the sequestration [$1.2 trillion in automatic cuts to federal spending] goes into effect, would have a significant impact on economic growth, bringing our estimated 2.2% baseline economic growth rate for fourth quarter 2013 to an abysmal 0.0% rate. The severity of this outcome re-enforces the need for policy makers on both sides of the aisle to step up and make tough decisions about the future of tax policy and federal spending, especially spending on entitlement programs [primarily Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid]. The faster Congress and the administration address these challenges, the sooner the U.S. economy can begin to slowly return to trend growth. –John E. Silvia, Michael A. Brown and Kaylyn Swankoski, Wells Fargo Securities
–Timing matters. The current fiscal cliff represents a danger due to both the speed and magnitude of the tightening [of fiscal policy] … longer-term proposals, such as the President's recently announced plan are preferable as they are less abrupt. The long-term effects of the proposed $1.6 trillion, 10-year tax increase would create between 90 and 120 basis points of equivalent Fed tightening each year (excluding any interest rate lowering effects from deficit reduction) … as growth accelerates in 2013 and 2014, it would appear to make sense that tighter fiscal policy be put into place, not just for the positive impact on the deficit, but also because such an action may be the only way for the Fed to extract itself from its quantitative easing programs. –Drew T. Matus, UBS Investment Research
–Substantial fiscal drag is likely no matter what deal is struck on the larger issues. For example, the 2% payroll tax cut will probably lapse, which implies a $126 billion tax increase next year. "Obamacare" investor and Medicare payroll tax hikes are scheduled to begin on Jan. 1. And other revenue and spending policies are likely to expire. Our baseline expectation assumes 1.5 percentage points of fiscal drag in 2013 from these sources–a significant, but absorbable hit to the economy, which we expect will grow by about 2% next year, with some acceleration in the second half versus the first. –Neal Soss and Jay Feldman, Credit Suisse
–Taxing the rich. Given this rise in [income] inequality, it makes sense that much of the future burden of reducing budget deficits should be borne by those who have benefited the most from economic trends in recent decades. The conventional wisdom that taxing the rich can't raise enough money to help significantly reduce the deficit is just not true, as it fails to account for both the extent that overall national income growth has concentrated at the top and the variety of different tax policies available to achieve higher levels of progressively raised revenue. –Josh Bivens, Economic Policy Institute
–An issue of principle more than practicality? While the potential effect of shifts in marginal tax rates on various forms of income is a necessary economic debate, it is perhaps not ideal to hold it when uncertainty over the short-term outlook for fiscal policy is so high, and when it represents only a small slice of the full fiscal cliff pie [approximately 5% of the total fiscal cliff] … That the debate regarding marginal tax rates for high income earners appears to have become an issue of political principle, rather than economic practicality, raises the risk that a broader agreement on the fiscal cliff will not be reached before the end of the year. –Peter Newland, Barclays
–The 'cliff' can't be fully avoided. The only outstanding question is to what degree it hits. We highlighted in our election preview that an Obama win meant most of the fiscal cliff would get punted. One of the exceptions is upper income tax rates, which we believe will rise. Remember, the Republicans ran on a platform of steady rates for everyone and when they lost, so did their platform. Indeed, just look at the yawning gap in the popular vote. As a result, we believe the House will succumb on a bifurcated resolution of the Bush era tax cuts. –Tom Porcelli, Jacob Oubina and Dan Grubert, RBC Capital Markets
–The other cliff. House Speaker Boehner has repeatedly said he will use the [debt] ceiling to extract further cuts. Under current trends, the government will hit its ceiling in January and run out of room to maneuver in March. The ceiling requires an immediate balancing of the deficit and hence hitting it would be a bigger shock than going over the cliff. –Ethan S. Harris, Bank of America Merrill Lynch

FARGO, N.D. (AP) -- American Crystal Sugar Co. workers have rejected a contract for the fourth time.
The workers have been locked out of their jobs for 16 months. Union officials said in a release Saturday night that workers voted 55 percent to reject management's contract offer.
The lockout originally affected about 1,300 workers, but more than 500 have left since then.
Contract opponents say the proposal cuts health care benefits and weakens job security. The company says the offer would raise worker pay by 17 percent over five years.
Last year, more than 90 percent of the workers rejected the contract. In June, it was turned down with a 63 percent vote.
American Crystal runs five sugar beet processing plants in North Dakota and Minnesota. It is the nation's largest sugar beet processor.

'King Slayer' Kim Kardashian Crushes King Digital
King Digital Entertainment PLC second-quarter struggles can partly be attributed to Kim Kardashian.
Slowing sales for the company's hit game "Candy Crush Saga" took a toll on King's quarterly results, sending the stock down more than 20% on Wednesday to fresh lows.
Increasing competition in the casual gaming sector, particularly Ms. Kardashian's new mobile game: "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood," took a toll on Candy Crush, said Deutsche Bank, which downgraded the stock Wednesday morning to hold from buy and slashed its price target to $12 from $27.
"King's second-quarter saga started with a bang but ended with a whimper," Lloyd Walmsley, a research analyst at Deustche Bank, wrote to clients. He titled his research note: "Kim Kardashian, the King Slayer."
"Competition within casual gaming is intense," he added, "with Kim Kardashian: Hollywood and 2048 going after the same demographics."
Shares fell as much as 23% to $13.97 Wednesday on heavy trading volume. The stock is down about 38% from its $22.50 IPO price earlier this year.
Ms. Kardashian's mobile game has become a surprise hit of the summer. It's so popular, in fact, that the game maker behind it, Glu Mobile, has seen a sharp rise in its stock price. In a story called "Why the Kim Kardashian Game Is Legitimately Good," New York Magazine's Vulture dedicated a lengthy analysis not of the company but the game's merits. Thousands of five star reviews don the app's download site since its release on June 24.
That's not a good sign for King Digital, which late Tuesday reported quarterly revenue that fell short of Wall Street's expectations. Bookings from "Candy Crush" declined more than expected, which prompted King to lower its revenue targets for the rest of the year.
King has been dogged by concerns about its heavy reliance on "Candy Crush" since it went pubic in March. The stock took a tumble in May, falling more than 30% below its IPO price at one point. It rallied in June as analysts argued the company was succeeding in diversifying away from "Candy Crush" with other games. In addition to Candy Crush, the company currently offers games such as "Bubble Witch 2 Saga" and "Farm Heroes Saga."
"2014 is a year of transition moving toward the more diverse revenue base as we introduce new games to our audience," King Digital CEO Riccardo Zacconi said on a conference call Tuesday evening with analysts.
The worry is that transition may not be such a smooth one.
"New games, despite steady presence in the top grossing charts, missed" estimates, Deutsche Bank said, which played a role in the firm's downgrade.
