There's little doubt that our universities are among Michigan's most valuable and important assets. But real alarm about public higher education is spreading throughout the country — and threatening profound consequences for our state and it colleges.
Take the case of Teresa Sullivan, a former provost at the University of Michigan and now president of the University of Virginia. On June 10, with no advance warning, she was forced to resign by the university's board, which said she wasn't making changes fast enough. The campus erupted in anger, and under pressure from the governor, Sullivan was quickly reinstated.
But the pattern has been repeated this year across the country: Richard Lariviere, president of the University of Oregon: fired. Carolyn Martin, chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison: resigned to go to Amherst, a small private college. Michael Hogan, University of Illinois president: resigned after a faculty revolt. Bill Powers, president of the University of Texas: in big-time conflict with his board over tuition increases.
Underlying these events are a series of structural problems affecting public universities. Once among America's proudest achievements, they now face a set of unprecedented threats:
• Declining public support. According to higher education's respected Grapevine Survey, overall state appropriations to universities have deteriorated by $6 billion, 7.6 percent, over the past decade, with more cuts likely coming. Over the last decade, successive Michigan legislatures have cut $536 million from higher education support, according to the Senate Fiscal Agency; that amounts to a 29.3 percent drop, the most of any budget category. This year's state budget increased support for higher education by three percent overall, the first in years. Twenty years ago at the U of M, public support provided 75 percent of costs; tuition and fees, only 25 percent. Today, you may be shocked to learn it's exactly the reverse.
• With state appropriations dropping, universities have increased tuition and fees to maintain quality. According to the National Report Card on Higher Education, tuition nationwide has increased by 375 percent since the early 198os; the inflation-measuring Consumer Price Index by only 95 percent. The result? An explosion of student debt, now approaching $900 billion nationally. In Michigan alone, student debt now has to be in the tens of billions.
• By increasing tuitions and making education less accessible, universities are aggravating students, their families and politicians. Lawmakers are also meddling; in Michigan, the legislature this year bizarrely attached various restrictions to higher education appropriations.
• The basic business model of many residential universities is suddenly at risk, thanks to new technology. Coursera, a start-up nonprofit joint venture between the U of M, Princeton, Pennsylvania and Stanford, is offering for free on-line courses taught by world-famous professors, "education for everyone." Initial response was overwhelming; more than 100,000 students worldwide have signed up.
But the new delivery platform raises a host of questions. If students can get classes taught on-line for free, why should they pay expensive tuitions? Why should professors, already under criticism for low productivity, teach classes face-to-face when lower cost alternatives are available? How much will a certificate from an on-line class cost, compared with traditional tuition — and how much will it be worth as a credential?
One of the biggest stress points is the relationship between governance (exercised at universities by their boards, which set overall policy and hire and fire presidents) and leadership (exercised by presidents, who need to manage the rate of change their institutions can tolerate.)
The dispute at the University of Virginia between President Sullivan and the rector (chairwoman of the board) Helen Dragas was exactly about this. Dragas said "the world is simply moving too fast" for the University to maintain its position "under a model of incremental marginal change." However, Sullivan argues that universities are not like businesses, which can be managed forcefully from the top down. Instead, colleges require careful consultations with various constituencies, including faculty, students, and alumni.
Pressure is building statewide, best seen this year in the legislature. At hearings in May on state support for higher education, lawmakers criticized universities for arrogance, unwillingness to provide information, rigidity and whining.
Reportedly, some higher education officials are not welcome in the office of House Speaker Jase Bolger (R-Marshall). Worse, recent talks with a number of university board members revealed that most have no idea of just how unpopular their institutions are in Lansing.
This is a big issue that can only get bigger.

And it's an original list, without omitting too many players. For Rant Sports, David Lewis has five guys who are either too much money, or too many problems, to keep anyway.
Kelven Sheppard
Sheppard was traded to the Colts from the Buffalo Bills during the 2013 offseason, and his lack of production at the inside linebacker position should signal the end of his brief stint with the franchise. Costing a potential $780k next season, Sheppard would be the highest paid ILB on the roster and his level of performance this year simply does not warrant such a salary
Agree or not, Lewis has valid reasoning for each of his choices; also, the obligatory entry on Samson Satele is laughably to-the-point. For a version of Colts Authority's salary/free agent implications, Kyle Rodriguez has an article on this as well.

Someone asked me the other week whether a color gradient could be easily applied to a high density point-plot, either vertically or horizontally graded.
Without thinking, I said, "Sure, easy." But when I got to a computer, and gave it a little thought, I realized that it's not that easy to do it efficiently. And it really ought to be, even for tens of thousands of points.
There is a help-page plot,color which briefly describes some things that can be done with coloring plots. As of Maple 16, it mentions a "color data structure" which can be created by calls to the new ColorTools package. There is an example on that page for a single color, but not for several colors concurrently. Using Colortools to get a list of colors, for many points, can be done. (And there ought to be such an example.) But for the case of many data points that uses quite a lot of memory, and is slow.
Also, there is no 2D plotting equivalent to the 3D plotting colorfunc functionality. There ought to be. And just as the 3D colorfunc should be fixed to take three arguments (x,y, & z) any new 2D colorfunc should be made to take two arguments (x & y).
So, how can we apply a color gradient on a 25000 2D-point-plot, shaded by y-value? One way is to notice that the various 2D and 3D plot data structures can now store an efficient m-by-3 (or m-by-n-by-3) C_order, float[8] Array for the purpose of representing the chosen colors. (That is not documented, but can be learned by observation and inspection of various example plot structures.) We know that such an Array is relatively memory-light, and can be produced very quickly.
What this task has become is a 2D version of this method of inserting a custom made color sequence into a 3D plot, but more efficient on account of using a float[8] Array.
To get some decent timings the attached worksheet uses the time[real] command. Timings are computed both immediately after computation (same execution block) as well as after plot rendering (next execution block).
It takes about 1 sec for the Maple 16.01 64bit Standard GUI on Windows 7 to throw up and render the plot, for both methods.
It takes 3.4 sec, and a 108 MB increase in allocated memory, to compute the plot data structure result using ColorTools and a list. But it takes only 0.45 sec, and a 20.5 MB increase in allocated memory, to compute an equivalent plot data structure using the float[8] Array. (Timings on an Intel i7-960.)
[worksheet upload is misbehaving. So inlining the code.]
time[real]()-str; # in new execution group
time[real]()-str; # in new execution group
Ideally, I'd prefer to be able to supply the color-specifying float[8], C_order Array in the initial plotting command.
Even though the examples above have mere random data in the plane, I'd intended this to relate more to things like scatterplots of (experimentally collected, say) data.
For (non-random) uniformly spaced data in the plane there is the densityplot. The underlying structure used for 2D density plots in modern Maple also makes use of the float[8], C_order Array. In fact such a densityplot has nearly all its information contained in that Array. I'll save some (hopefully) interesting things about that structure for another post.

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Jim Boeheim has forever insisted that the Big East Conference annually provides the basketball equivalent of the full-blown family squabble at the dinner table. You know, where everybody has his or her say ... and often at high volume.
Any league win is a good one, Boeheim has said. Any league road win is found money, Boeheim has said. Any league opponent can beat any other league opponent on just about any night, Boeheim has said.
And as we've listened to the Syracuse University coach, so many of us have wished we could nudge the needle on the skipping record.
But look at this: We've not yet fled January and Providence has toppled ranked Louisville . . . and St. John's has upset ranked Georgetown . . . and Marquette has pummeled ranked Notre Dame . . . and now Notre Dame -- whose three conference losses have come by an average of 17.3 points -- has gone into Pittsburgh and knocked off the No. 2 Panthers, who'd been 51-1 at the Petersen Events Center before stepping in with the Fighting Irish on Monday evening.
So? Painful as this may be, we need to face this unsettling fact: Ol' Boeheim is being proven right again.
Further evidence? In the current Associated Press Top 25, Pitt (19-2) is No. 2, Connecticut (16-2) is No. 5, Villanova (17-2) is No. 8, SU (18-2) is tied for No. 9 and Notre Dame (17-4) is No. 15. And here is what those clubs have done to each other in these past few weeks . . .
Pitt has beaten Connecticut.
Connecticut has beaten Villanova.
Villanova has beaten Syracuse.
Syracuse has beaten Notre Dame.
Notre Dame has beaten Pitt.
Which brings us to this evening's affair at the Carrier Dome between the Orange, which is on a gruesome two-game losing streak, and the Seton Hall Pirates, whose 8-12 record hasn't fooled Scoop Jardine, SU's junior guard, at all.
"Seton Hall," he said the other day of the Orange's struggling Big East brethren, "is a great team."
Chortle if we must at that assessment (and we, perhaps ill-advisedly, must), but this does bear inspection:
South Florida has beaten Providence.
Providence has beaten Louisville.
Louisville has beaten Marquette.
Marquette has beaten Georgetown.
Georgetown has beaten Seton Hall.
Seton Hall has beaten South Florida.
As you trudge to the Dome tonight (or plant yourself in front of the TV), as you consider the quality of those reeling Pirates, Boeheim -- and Jardine, too -- would ask you to remember that the Seton Hall boys are Big Easters. And the two of them, wary coach and cautious guard, invite you to connect the dots.

Sharing files with Linux and Vista
If you want to share files your own way, Vista might need some help.
Windows computers use the SMB protocol for sharing files, and Linux has learned to adapt. But what if you don't want to use SMB? Will Vista adapt to Linux? The answer is yes, but you might have to spend some extra money or bring in extra tools. Despite Microsoft's promise to improve compatibility with standards other than its own, Windows Vista still falls short. Redmond continues to ignore common protocols such as NFS, SSH, and SFTP, and even SMB-based communications between Linux and Vista are fraught with complications. In this article, we explore some of the options for sharing files in Linux and Vista by focusing on three popular protocols: SMB, NFS, and SSH. You'll learn what Vista can do out of the box, and we'll show you how to fill in the gaps.

on February 13, 2011 - 12:01 AM
There are two camps when it comes to winter: hibernate until spring or embrace the snow.
While many of us choose the first course, it can get downright boring. Yet, the thought of hurling ourselves down a hill on skis isn't appealing (but we do like the lodge scene!). Cross-country is enjoyable, but again, a certain amount of skill is involved. At this time of year, we yearn to "just do it" without a lot of trouble. But what is the "it?"
Our answer came on a pair of snowshoes and a journey that got us away from home to Cortland's Lime Hollow Center for Environment & Culture and the nearby Greek Peak Mountain Resort.
With snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing and tubing options, everyone in your party can get involved, and nobody is left out in the cold.
>Lime Hollow Center for Environment & Culture
Cheektowaga native Glenn Reisweber is the executive director of the Lime Hollow nature preserve. In 2007, the facility opened a visitors center where guests can rent snowshoes and cross-country skis to explore more than 10 miles of trails. According to Reisweber and nearby outfitters in his area, this winter has been the best Nordic season in 30 years.
Snowshoeing is as easy as checking in at the desk and getting a trail map, poles, shoes and 5-minute instructions on how to secure the shoes to your own boots.
When we asked if there were any maneuvering tricks, our main man and staff member Aaron said, "No, you basically just walk."
We wondered, "Then why do we need snowshoes?"
Along the snowy Fen Way trail, it became immediately evident that had we been wearing only boots, we would have struggled.
Sinking, slipping, trudging -- all gone with these magical attachments that look like awkward floats, but in reality, kept us stabilized. Metal claws under our toes helped to dig into the snow, while poles kept us steady on hills. We had been liberated!
Crunching along, we set out into the preserve.
Winter in the woods is breathtaking. No dirty snow. No dusty salty. No noisy snowplows.
Fresh powder had just fallen. Stands of evergreens thick with frostinglike snow lined the trail. Deer tracks were everywhere. We stopped to just look at a light snow dust falling from branches. We inhaled, exhaled and relaxed to the lovely sound of silence.
Following handy markers, a variety of trails wound us through thick stands of trees, along ridges and through open spaces. Bridges carried us over icy cold running streams, each with thin ice lacing along its edges.
Having gotten the hang of it, we ventured off the trail into deeper snow to experience the sensation of sinking, but not really sinking. Feeling confident, we tried more difficult trails that went up and down steep inclines. We marveled. We could never have done this in boots.
Onward we headed to see Cattail Pond, where we came across bright green watercress growing underwater in a stream. The only souls we saw the entire time were a few deer and a couple wearing snowshoes, pulling their little guy along a trail on a sled.
Between the trail map and marked trails, we never felt lost or unsure about where to go. Time flew, and in all we spent about four hours exploring. We returned to the center, hit the "green" bathroom, then watched a mob of birds feeding outside near a picture window. Besides being a little tuckered out, we can report no soreness in the following days.
Lime Hollow is open for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It will also be open during the Presidents' Day week (Feb. 21-25) when many schools are off for a midwinter recess. Snowshoes are available for just about anyone, including the little ones. Cost to rent is full day $10 adult ($5 child); half day $8 ($3 child) and two hours $6 ($2). Cross-country skis for adults are full day $15 ($12 half and $9 two hours). Lime Hollow has a no-pet policy.
On Friday there is a Full Moon Owl Prowl (7-9 p.m.) and on Feb. 26 an Animal Tracking Workshop starting at 10 a.m. Located off Route 281 at 338 McLean Road, Cortland; 607-662-4632; www.limehollow.org.
>More at Greek Peak Mountain Resort
About 10 minutes away from Lime Hollow, the Greek Peak Mountain Resort offers more options for your group. In addition to a Nordic center where visitors can rent snowshoes and cross-country skis to explore the property, downhill skiers can hit the Greek Peak mountain trails, while Winter X-Game wannabes can try the snowboarding hill. For silly fun, there is a very safe looking tubing hill.
And for those who absolutely aren't into the great outdoors, the swanky Hope Lake Lodge spa and lovely bar/restaurant area with a fireplace are perfect ways to spend the day. The only place not open to the public is the indoor waterpark, which is reserved for resort guests.
Weekend trail passes are $14 adult ($9 child). Snowshoe rentals are available for adults only at $9. Basic ski rentals are $14 adult ($10 child). Learn to ski or ride (snowboard) lessons are $25. The downhill lift opens at 8:30 a.m. The Nordic center (snowshoes/cross-country) is on the same side as the lodge; tubing is across the street. Both open at 10 a.m.
Greek Peak Mountain Resort, Route 392, Cortland; 800-955-2SKI (2754); www.greekpeak.net
If you stay:
You could make a weekend of visiting both Lime Hollow and Greek Peak. The resort is pricey, but does offer ski and stay packages and plenty of kids' activities. It would also gain you access to the waterpark. We discovered a Country Inn & Suites on Route 281 in Cortland (www.countryinns.com) that's just about dead-center between the two locations.
For evening fun, the Shipwreck Amusement Center offers an entertaining evening of indoor black light mini-golf. The course is lit by fluorescent murals of underwater sea creatures. There are also fun ice cream novelties. Cost is $8 for adults; $6.50 for kids 35 inches tall or to age 11; $7.50 for seniors. A Bounce & Play area is perfect for the wee ones. Cost is $5 for an hour. Shipwreck Amusement Center is at 759 Route 13, Cortland, (607) 758-8585; www.shipwreckgolf.com
Some places to eat in Cortland:
Blue Frog Coffeehouse, 64 Main St., Market Place Mall; (607) 758-7989; bluefrogny.com/
Doug's Fish Fry, Route 281; (607) 753-9184; www.dougsfishfry.com

Pita Gourmet, 41 Main St.; (607) 756-4442; pitagourmet.com

File one more under the heading You Cant Make This Stuff Up.
The Weather Channel has decided it will begin naming significant winter storms. As if the two-feet of snow, hurricane force gales and total white out conditions arent enough, they want to give these storms an identity.
The Weather Channel has decided to name these noteworthy storms so as not to have to rely on local network affiliates news anchors coming up with awful names like Snow Jam, Snowmageddon, and Ice Jam. Those make me want to grab an icicle and gouge out my eyes.
So here are the names the Weather Channel has chosen as our named winter storms this year. Oh, I cant wait
Athena: The A-List chick, the Greek goddess of wisdom, will know to avoid trailer parks and major metropolitan areas.
Brutus: The ultimate traitor and best known assassin of Julius Caesar. Hell aim for whatever road on which Im driving.
Caesar: Stabbed in the back by Brutus. He will strive to be a much worse storm than his predecessor. ?Draco: Just a bad name for a storm. Draco is coming, usually voiced-over by Dolph Lundgren.
Euclid: The father of geometry. The storm will be precise and follow proper angles.
Freyr: A Norse god associated with fair weather. Jim Cantore: That period of fair weather weve enjoyed over the past week was really Winter Storm Freyr.
Gandolf: The Grey and White from Lord of the Rings. You shall not pass! Expect gridlock.
Helen: The really hot chick from Troy. Like Troy, towns will be wiped off the face of the earth because of her.
Iago: Enemy of Othello. Who? I never saw the movie.
Jove: The English name for Jupiter. I guess its so we can go, By Jove look at all that snow! People in Wisconsin and Minnesota will say this a lot.
Khan: Three words: Wrath of Khan. You will wish you were on Seti Alpha 6 after this storm. Jim Cantore cant wait to say this.
Luna: The moon. Not me, Ill have my long johns on.
Magnus: A short dude with a Napoleon complex. His storm will sputter and fail.
Nemo: The guppy from the movie. Winter Storm Nemo? Phht!
Orko: The thunder god in Basque mythology. Think snow and thunder here.
Plato: Greek philosopher and mathematician. This will be a logical storm that steers clear of major cities and roadways.?Rocky: Balboa. Apollo Creeds worst nightmare. Nothing more needs to be said here.
Saturn: God of time, as in, with this snow theres no way youll ever get to work on time.
Triton: Son of Poseidon the sea god, still trying to figure out how this will pertain to snow.
Ukko: In Finnish mythology, the god of the sky and weather. This storm is Ukko!
Virgil: One of ancient Romes greatest poets. This snow will blow and no one will go pray for weather fair and well see you there
Walda: Weathermen everywhere will be saying, Wheres Walda? with this storm. Al Roker will be first.
Xerxes: The fourth king of the Persian Achaemenid Empire, Xerxes the Great. This was the tall cartoon dude in 300 with the body-piercing problem. Hell bring 3 million snowflakes to fight 300 and lose.
Yogi: This storm aint over til its over.
Zeus: If a storm named Zeus is coming, find Al Gore and say, I now have 14 inches of global warming I have to shovel off my driveway no thanks to you.
You may clip and save for your weather convenience.

Hail women!
The Sceptic greets all women, though belatedly, on the occasion of International Women's Day, which fell on March 8. Like Mark Twain I love all women. There are, of course, degrees of affection. To put it in a different way I love womankind for they as part of the larger Mankind inspire us men.
Anyway without them where could we be? Certainly in the land of the unborn, for they carry us in their wombs for nine and half months, feeding and caring us. Whether emperor or pauper, saint or criminal every man has a lasting attachment to his mother even after the umbilical cord has been cut off.
Our Father which art in heaven made man in his own image. On Second thought he made woman from the same flesh, from the limb of man. Unlike Adam who was meek Eve from her birth was a rebel. She made Adam eat the forbidden fruit. From that Original Sin everything flowed though one would question whether it was a sin at all. Sin or no sin we owe a debt to Eve for everything that this world produced since then.
Women are supposed to be the weaker sex. I beg to disagree. They endure hardships better. They live longer. They bear stress better for how else could they live in this world of moody men who want their wives or consorts to pamper them, to feed them and to run hundred and one errands for them
. At times they pretend to be babes. At other times they go for the throat of their female companions. From the moment a woman says, "I do" she has to do everything and give in to everything. There is no escape.
On March 8 she is annually greeted, felicitated and applauded. Some say it with flowers. Others flower kisses. But begin March 9, she is back again in square One.
The same old drudgery, the same old worries, the same old troubles haunt her. Gone are the flowery speeches, the rituals and resolutions.
Even Women's Lib has been unable to lift women up. For decades they have been trying. Take word from me, they will achieve nothing as long as their male counterparts do not cooperate.
Women's Lib is not a pan-women affair.
It is a task for all - men, women all. On this International Women's Day the Sceptic appeals to all men to pull their socks together and lift women up and not put them or push them down. The time for halves is over, even if they are better halves.

Make a home for wildlife
Chris Shields
Erinaceus europaeus
Hedgehogs have a rather rounded body covered in short, dark, yellow-tipped spines, and a short tail. The face and undersides are covered in coarse hair. They are widespread and common throughout mainland Britain.
In the summer they spend most of the day sheltering in a nest of leaves, moss and grass. They come out at night and can be heard snuffling and grunting as they forage for food. In the autumn they find a sheltered spot, often under a hedgerow, to hibernate.
Although their eyesight is poor, they have good hearing and a well-developed sense of smell. Hedgehogs are good runners, proficient climbers and can even swim.
If attacked they roll into a tight ball so only their spines are exposed. Many hedgehogs are killed unintentionally by humans: on the road, with lawnmowers, strimmers and garden chemicals, and in bonfires.
Slugs, snails, beetles and earthworms, birds' eggs, nestlings and carrion.
At night from April to October.
Throughout the garden foraging for food. They will also come onto patios and to the backdoor if food is put out. Also in parks, scrubby areas, hedgerows and woods.

Sugar Bowl Recap
January 5, 2011 - Al Stephenson
I approached last night's Sugar Bowl matchup between Ohio State and Arkansas with mixed feelings. I had a number of questions concerning the game including the following: 1) would my disappointment with the five Buckeyes who violated NCAA rules make me hesitant to root for the team I have been a fan of all my life? 2) should the five guys have even been allowed to play in this game? 3) did the Big Ten's 0 for New Year's Day performance make this a game where I would have to admit the superiority of the SEC?
Turns out the answers to those questions were - No, Yes and Yes. Here's my take.
Despite my unhappiness with the Buckeye Five, I found myself rooting for OSU like normal. Now normal for me is not quite the same as it is for some fervent Buckeye fans. I don't scream at the TV, gripe loudly about questionable officiating or unimaginative play calling (it is worth noting that the operable words here are scream and loudly as I do get frustrated with things particularly the play calling) . I want the Bucks to win however and will not give up my loyalty despite the transgressions. So root, root, root for OSU I did.
The NCAA handed down their decision to suspend the five Buckeyes for the first five games next year. Ohio State and Sugar Bowl officials lobbied the NCAA to not use the Bowl game to start the punishment, each having their own personal reasons for doing so. For those that thought OSU should have taken it upon themselves to add missing the Sugar Bowl to the punishment - I don't agree.
Assuming (yes, I do know what assuming means) the five guys keep their promise, return for their senior seasons and ultimately face the music for their indiscretions, then the NCAA punishment is more than adequate. Though I wouldn't normally be in favor of delayed punishment (you can't smack the puppy two hours after he piddles if you want him to stop piddling) this time it makes sense. I don't really care about the TV ratings or the welfare of the fans who spent a lot of money to attend the game. Stuff happens. I do like the fact that the senior members of OSU's football team get a more realistic chance to go out a winner. For their sake it was nice to see the Bucks at full strength.
As for the final question, it's time to come clean. Top to bottom the SEC is superior to the Big Ten. Despite the Buckeyes victory, there is no question in my mind about which conference is better. Why is the SEC better? For me it's relatively simple. They have more quickness. The one single element that is more important in any sport is quickness. You can make up for a lack of other things, but not quickness. One more thing to add to the equation, as far as Ohio State is concerned at least, is the conservative nature of Jim Tressel. Like it or not he believes that to win games you keep the score close so you have a chance to win at the end. It is hard to argue with the philosophy as it has made his career winning percentage pretty incredible. It can also come back to haunt you as it almost did last night.
Ohio State played like an SEC school in the first half, mixing up plays and going deep. It worked pretty well. In the second half they went to a more conservative style, choosing to protect the lead and playing not to lose. That is tough for many fans to take, particularly if it doesn't work. Last night they held on and we now bask in the knowledge that OSU has finally beaten an SEC opponent.
The view from my seat would suggest that if nothing else the game was extremely entertaining. If we could just remember that sports should be entertainment and not something more important!

The RTS part of the game ruined it for me. I loved everything about the game until it came time to play the main part of the game... the RTS ugh. So tempted to pick it up for this price though wow.
I'm in exactly the same boat. The concept is awesome, and the gameplay was just fine the way it was in the beginning. But then the RTS portions showed up out of nowhere and killed it for me. It's still a great game, and it's definitely worth $3. But I just couldn't push myself to get through the RTS parts.

Board Games Used for Crafts?

Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Did you know you can use old boardgames to make crafts? This is such a great idea, I'm so glad I can share this with you. When I was little I used to play Candy Land all the time along with Checkers and Uno. I loved playing board games because who doesn't? If you're a child or a grown up board games are always fun. And if you're an adult, it's always fun to be a kid again.
If you have a lot of old board games laying around the house and you don't know what to do with them you can make crafts. Depending on what games you have you can make cards, scrapbook pages or a neat gift.
I wrote a blog about what the possibilities are in making crafts from board games. You can read more about it here.
Another cute game on our site is the kids' tic tac toe.

In the voluminous literature on appendicitis one finds but little particular attention paid to the peculiar characteristics and sequences of inflammation of this organ when of the retrocecal or retroperitoneal type in anatomic location. And yet anatomic observations have shown that in about 20 per cent. of.all subjects this position of the appendix is found. I have had a rather large proportion of cases of retrocecal appendicitis, and have been impressed with certain features which affect the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment to such an extent that it has seemed worthy of more attention than has usually been accorded.
In the more normal anatomic type the appendix from the base of the cecum passes more or less downward or downward and inward, and becomes an organ more or less associated with the large peritoneal fossae. In consequence, when it becomes the seat of an acute inflammation we have associated a greater

"Innovation Is In Crisis"
As a venture capitalist, Pascal Levensohn must be an optimist by nature. Why else would he direct his San Francisco VC fund to invest in startups that have little going for them beyond potential? But in a speech on Mar. 4, the founder and managing partner of Levensohn Venture Partners sounded downright despondent.
"Innovation, American know-how, entrepreneurs—these are the foundations of American success. But our foundations are crumbling," Levensohn said at the Cybersecurity Applications and Technologies Conference for Homeland Security in Washington. "I firmly believe America's innovation ecosystem is in crisis and that this crisis is becoming progressively more acute." (His entire speech is here.)
His cri de coeur reminded me of a despairing report issued last week by the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation. Titled Benchmarking EU and U.S. Innovation and Competitiveness, the report found that while the U.S. ranks sixth globally in innovation and competitiveness, its score fell further than any other nation's in the last decade.
What's wrong with the U.S.? Levensohn said two long-term trends are converging with a new one to choke off innovation. First, corporations have been spending their research and development funds increasingly on incremental breakthroughs rather than basic science. Second, total R&D spending as a percentage of the overall economy has been shrinking, though it's rising in many other lands.
And third--and this is may be the biggest threat today--the financial crisis has turned almost everyone into a scaredy cat. With markets crumbling, few are willing to invest in anything that has even a whiff of risk.
"Precisely at the time when we most need long-term risk capital to plant the seeds for the next generation of breakthrough innovations and to fuel sustainable job growth in America," Levensohn said, "these factors have conspired to drain the risk capital that is the lifeblood of our economy. This financial dislocation dims what could otherwise be a bright future for the next generation of American entrepreneurs."
What to do? Venture capitalists, investment funds, and banks must renew their lending to startups, Levensohn said. (He didn't say anything about what he's doing with his fund's $200 million in committed capital. I wonder why not.) The federal government must also boost its R&D budget, as it is under President Barack Obama's economic stimulus package. And the U.S. must attract the smartest minds from around the world, and then entice them to stay.
Innovation and national competitiveness are vitally important to the standard of living of the U.S. Are the alarm-ringers getting the public's attention?

General Information
The Physician Assistant Department (PAD) is located in Edinburg, Texas in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. We are located approximately 4 hours south of San Antonio. The campus is located just 20 minutes from the Texas-Mexican border. The local population is primarily Hispanic. The PAD serves primarily the four counties of the Rio Grande Valley: Starr, Hidalgo, Willacy, and Cameron. Both Hidalgo and Cameron counties are urban/metropolitan counties with large rural areas while Starr and Willacy counties are almost exclusively rural. All Rio Grande Valley counties are classified as medically underserved areas (MUAs). The Rio Grande Valley experiences a unique population dynamic in that it shares its culture and livelihood with the much larger metropolitan border cities of Mexico, specifically Reynosa and Matamoros, both in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas.
The Physician Assistant Department is recognized as the only physician assistant program in Texas that is not located nor affiliated with a medical center. This characteristic lends itself to a very unique capability for PAD students to train in the most optimal, one-to-one settings. Although not located at a medical center, the PAD is affiliated with more than 200 clincial preceptors and/or training facilities, including all of the major hospitals in all four Rio Grande Valley counties.
Honors & Awards
The Physician Assistant Department prides itself in having received an award for excellence in diversity in 2005 from the Physician Assistant Education Association in Puerto Rico. This national award shined a spotlight on the many successes the PAD has had with the recruitment and retention of students with a minority/diversity background. The Physician Assistant Studies Program consistently enrolls >50% diverse students in every class. The PAD is recognized nationally as a leader in physician assistant student Hispanic enrollment.
The Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA) has granted Accreditation-Continued status to the Physician Assistant Program sponsored by The University of Texas-Pan American. Accreditation-Continued is an accreditation status granted when a currently accredited program is in compliance with the ARC-PA Standards.
Accreditation remains in effect until the program closes or withdraws from the accreditation process or until accreditation is withdrawn for failure to comply with the Standards. The approximate date for the next validation review of the program by the ARC-PA will be September 2020. The review date is contingent upon continued compliance with the Accreditation Standards and ARC-PA policy.

During last night's Hartford Wolfpack 2-1 shootout loss, Dylan McIlrath hurt his knee along the boards and did not return to the game after needing help to get off the ice.
Reports from the game are that McIlrath turned his knee awkwardly.
McIlrath missed half of last season with a dislocated knee cap that required surgery. No word on whether the injury tonight was to the same knee.
…tough break for a young kid who shouldn't have been sent down in the first place. Just another setback for a guy who really can't afford one. McIlrath has obvious deficiencies in his game, so if he has to miss any significant time it'll likely stunt his development and making it that much less likely he gets a legit chance to make the squad out of camp next year.
…when it rains it pours and right now it's a deluge for the Rangers.

Glad you got the foot....?look forward to your artistic creations :0)
Wow! That is beautiful! I love the simple elegance of it. I also like the shape of the top - especially the width of the shoulder seams - not a tank top, but not what I think of as sleeveless. What pattern did you start with?
Hi, the pattern I used is new look 6356 it an easy two hour one!! That's once you have made a test garment and done your alterations, then you can do so many variations its like a different top all the time.
And forgot to ask - is there a zipper (or other closure) on the back?
Yes it has a zip but I have done it several times without . The one I did is the boat neck version , there is also v neck. Round neck and square neck. I used binding instead of facings for the sleeves much neater and no chance of it popping out when you least expect it!
Very beautiful stitching. What machine did you use and what stitch? Thank you for sharing.
I am please that now we can learn on line so happy to to learn this technics thank you
