Finished trapout. The hive was in the block for several years. I found bees entering at the bottom of the first floor, and entering at the top of the 2nd floor. Who knows how big the actual hive was.
The 2nd super was because they filled it with honey so fast. The 3rd was when I brought over a queen from a tiny swarm I caught. This has been a bad year for queens, and this hive hadn't successfully raised a queen. You can just see the newspaper when I put the box on top and used the newspaper combine method. The bottom hive was queenless, so they weren't going to object too much2012-08-31 09.08.49.jpg2012-08-31 09.08.56.jpg.
I usually use a nuc box for trapouts, but this one was really big, and I knew when they robbed it, they'd need somewhere to put the honey.
I used tapcon screws for the metal supports, and then today used a "d" ring tie down with a pulley. It's above the hive. I strapped the hive, then got the pulley tight, then took off the metal supports and lowered it down by hand. I had some other tricks I could have used, but I'll let you buy my book and read them if I get around to writing it.

During Ramadan, a time for focus and introspection, Michelle Bachmann and her posse are testing me. Big time. She believes that members of the Muslim Brotherhood have infiltrated the U.S. government -- and she's calling them out in public. In today's ballooning and increasingly influential social media landscape, sure sticks and stones can break bones, but a correctly phrased Google search can be even more devastating.

In our work with aerospace, defence and security companies, we see the critical impact of innovation up close every day. For most of our clients, innovation is already a core part of their internal culture and their company mission. And there's no denying that the sector has made some amazing advances over the past decade.
But while innovation is one of the top priorities for executives, our research suggests that innovation investments in the AD&S aren't always delivering long-term value. We think that's partly because of "value erosion" happening in large-scale, long-term projects. And when innovation happens at the programme level, it can be more difficult to get the most of investments across the whole business. But innovation can, and should, help improve the bottom line for the whole organisation.
This report takes a look at some of the ways how.

Maybe i'm wrong but he doesn't seem like he's too bad of a hitter. I think he's learned the game pretty fast and he can only get better.

In the morning, we visited three nearby landmarks: St. Andrew's Church and Guest House, Liberty Park, and the Inbal Hotel. St. Andrew's Church was pretty bare bones, no bells and whistles here or in its guest house. But the ambience was welcoming.Liberty Park had a few unusual embellishments: oddly shaped monoliths, a tucked-away amphitheater for kids' theatrical productions, and a replica of our Liberty Bell in Philadelphia.The Inbal Hotel, easily viewed from Liberty Park, is ultra-modern and elegant. Some of its shops contain outstanding heirloom Judaica.Later on, we toured Mt. Hertzl Military Cemetery. Besides seeing the tomb of Jewish notables like Zionist pioneer Theodore Herzl and assassinated Prime Minister Rabin, we roamed through the twenty or so sections devoted to the soldiers who died in various wars defending Israel. The markers along the routes succinctly paid tribute to these soldiers (from 16 year olds to men in their forties).During our first two days at Yad Vashem, we were inside where no pictures were allowed. But this afternoon, we visited the outdoor sites—from the Warsaw Ghetto sculpture to the 2.5 acre massive walls on which were inscribed the names of the Jewish communities that the Nazis wiped out in the Holocaust.

NEW HAVEN -- The city has had two homicides so far this year. At this point in 2011, 13 people had been killed, en route to a total 34 homicides.
Police Chief Dean Esserman said that was little consolation for the two families who lost loved ones this year, or the other people who have lost sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, to violence.
"We need to bring justice to those who are still waiting for it," Esserman said. "There are hundreds of families over decades who are waiting for the New Haven police to call them and tell them that we are arresting the person we feel is responsible for the murder of their loved one."
While police contended with near record-high homicides last year, killings this year are dramatically lower and, if sustained, could rival record lows of a decade ago. Non-fatal shootings also are down.
While Esserman said he prefered to look forward, he also looked back.
In an interview Tuesday, he said he planned to bring back retired detectives to serve with current detectives on a new cold case unit. He has been meeting with retired investigators since he returned to New Haven in the fall to solicit ideas.
He cited a historic Roman senator, who said that "when Rome calls, no man's life is his own."
"I told them, 'So I'm here to tell you that New Haven is calling you,'" Esserman said.
Police and academics agreed that there is no one explanation for the large reduction in homicides so far this year -- or that the low total is necessarily sustainable. All agreed that the 34 homicides last year was an aberration.
Part of the reduction could be attributed to the cyclical nature of crime, officials said. Some could be simple luck. Some might be attributed to the reinvigorated model of community policing.
"Certainly there is no one thing that can cause a reduction in crime, particularly in violent crime," said John DeCarlo, professor of criminology at the University of New Haven and former Branford police chief.
But he added that "smarter policing" and adhering to "empirically proven strategies" play a role.
While many other factors come into play, he said, "that does not negate the value of good, strong community policing. When the police department engages the community, this is the result."
This much is clear. Last year, the homicide total reached levels not seen since the city's most violent era in the 1990s. This year, two people have been killed in the first four months.
Assistant Chief Archie Generoso, a former investigator with the state's attorney's office who was hired by Esserman as an assistant chief, said some dangerous people have been taken off the street, not just by detectives and patrol officers, but also through renewed partnerships with parole and probation officers who sit in on weekly CompStat meetings.
An added patrol presence has an effect, he said, on deterrence by keeping the criminals off balance.
"It's a combination of things," said Sgt. Al Vazquez, head of the major crimes unit. He pointed to collaboration with federal agencies, significant arrests of people police viewed as "menaces to society," efforts to regain community trust and cooperation and greater success in solving homicides.
It's inevitable that regular arrests in new and older homicides would enter the psyche of potential shooters and make them think twice, he said.
"It's human nature."
Generoso said he believed the department was making headway in winning back community trust, and that plays a role in crime reduction, too.
"They know what's happening. They see it every day. They can let us know who has the gun on the corner, who's fighting with whom," he said.
But he didn't believe it was happenstance that violent crime is down.
"What the department has been doing for the last several months can't be explained away. We're attacking things on all levels trying to reduce the violence."
Esserman said that is only half of the story.
"The second part of that is we need to bring justice to those who are still waiting for it."
He said he hoped to bring back retired detectives part time and partner them with current detectives to tackle old cases.
He pointed to the December arrest in a 2004 double homicide. Two retired detectives came back to meet with the families, along with the detectives who secured the warrant, he said. He described the meeting with the family as "remarkable."
Esserman said several retired detectives have expressed a willingness to serve on the squad, although he hadn't yet figured out the logistics of bringing retired cops back part time to help investigate cases.
"I'll let people figure that out. There's an old saying, 'Where there's a will, there's a way.' I see the wills."

text: I agree this season proved that he's not a one year wonder. Perhaps I was being too generous by assuming at the outset that he wasn't one and that he would remain at the levels of last year. If your point is that this year combined with last establishes and reinforces his range, that's fair. But he did go from top 10 (top 5/6 in some) to top 15/20 in some meaningful categories.

For a second I thought it was a set-up job on Jesse to take him out, but no, it really was just his "fresh start" option.

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
I actually thought it was a hit on Jesse.

1)In "End Times," to get Jesse back on his side in the war against Gus, Walt arranges for Huell to steal the cigarette pack with the ricin cigarette out of Jesse's pocket and replace it with a different pack. Saul calls Jesse to his office on shaky reasons, and Huell pats him down in a way that gets Jesse's attention. Walt doesn't use the ricin to poison Brock, but rather a lily of the valley plant that will have a similar but less dangerous effect on the boy.
2)When Jesse hears that Brock has been poisoned, he realizes that the ricin cigarette is missing, then (correctly) puts two and two together that Huell stole it, on Walt's orders. He storms into Walt's house and threatens to kill him for poisoning Brock; Walt convinces Jesse that it was Gus, not him, who wanted to hurt the boy specifically so Jesse would come to this conclusion and murder Walt for him and that Tyrus must have lifted the cigarettes from Jesse's locker at the Super Lab. Jesse accepts that Mr. White would never hurt a child, whereas Gus has a history of hurting children, and lets go of the theory about Huell.
3)Doctors later figure out that Brock was poisoned by a lily of the valley, not ricin, making Jesse doubt Walt's theory about Gus manipulating Jesse into shooting Walt, and leaving him to wonder what really happened to the ricin cigarette. Walt stages a phony search of Jesse's house and plants a fake cigarette (containing salt, not ricin) inside Jesse's Roomba. None of this sits well with Jesse, but he once again believes Mr. White.
4)Over the course of season 5, starting around the murder of Drew Sharp, Jesse has begun to realize that he shouldn't believe anything Walt says. Walt claims to be broken up over Drew's death, then whistles while he works. Walt claims that Mike left town alive, when Jesse knows that Walt would've never taken out Mike's guys unless Mike was dead. Walt gives Jesse a whole song and dance about how leaving town will be good for Jesse, when Jesse knows that it will be even better for Walt.
5)Having been primed to disbelieve any word out of Walt's mouth, Jesse goes to Saul's office, lights up a joint and gets scolded by Saul, who knows his relocation expert won't pick up anyone who's high. Saul orders Huell to again pick Jesse's pocket to get rid of the marijuana.
6)At the pick-up spot, a nervous Jesse reaches for his pot, and can't find it. He frantically checks all his pockets, but all he finds is a cigarette pack. Staring at the cigarette pack, and realizing Huell dipped into his pocket without him noticing, Jesse realizes that his first suspicions about the ricin cigarette were correct, and that Mr. White was manipulating him into turning against Gus, endangering Brock's life in the process.
That the ricin wasn't actually used on Brock is beside the point. Jesse knew from the beginning that Huell had picked his pocket, and that he must have done it on Mr. White's orders. He has been thinking about this often in the months since it happened far more often and more intensely than those of us watching the show have, and in a more compressed time period. When he realizes Huell picked his pocket, and stares at another crumpled cigarette pack, everything clicks into place about the events of "End Times" including how convenient it was that this terrible thing happened to Brock, which turned Jesse back into Walt's ally, at the exact moment Walt needed an ally against Gus and he goes on the warpath against Saul, Huell and that ******* Mr. White.

I'd like to show this to one of my friends. He's watched only the first five episodes of the show and wants to like it since he hears so many people raving about it (most especially me), but can't get into it. I keep telling him it gets better at the end of the first season, but the first five are kind of slow. Unfortunately though, this would spoil some things even though it's blunt enough to get the point across.

Had the amount of the pile of money been nailed down previously and I missed it? I know there were estimates but I listened to part of the last podcast and Gilligan said it was $80M. It doesn't really matter but I thought it was less than that, more like $30-40M.
Again, not anything too important I just found it interesting.

Subscribe to this Chargers blog Go to the front pageAs BoltHype famously documented last season, the Chargers are ridiculously predictable on first down. Last year, opposing defenses had it easy; they could smell a run play simply by looking at the Chargers' personnel groupings on first down. Lorenzo Neal and Brandon Manumaleuna on the field at the same time was all but a guarantee the playcall was a run play, and yet even after adding two extra blockers to the play, the Chargers were disgustingly ineffective.
Here we are in 2008 and not much has changed - the Chargers still all too often run Ladainian Tomlinson on first down usually resulting in a no-gain. This puts the pressure on the passing game to now come up with a 10 yard play. Should that pass fall incomplete, the Chargers are forced to take another shot downfield or to try something underneath. Without establishing a good rythm in the first half, the Chargers usually conceed too many points to the opposition. The second half rolls around and behind on points, the Chargers' offensive gameplay switches to "catchup mode" and the running game usually goes out the window.
To demonstrate how ineffective the Chargers are on first down, lets take a look at all of the Chargers' first down plays against the Falcons in Week 14. Using the play log from NFL.com, we can see an obviously problem running the ball on first down. The Atlanta Falcons' defense sold out on first down, daring the Chargers to pass. And as we can clearly see, when the Chargers did pass on first down they were very effective. Of course, by the time the second half rolled the Falcons made it a two score game and the Chargers gameplan changed to compensate.

If a standard motor starter is utilized for the motor control, vs. a VFD, consider checking for proper coil voltage and proper contactor engagemnet strength. If correct, be sure to check for wear and burning on the contacts themselves. Do to normal arcing and wear contacts may become carboned and will limit proper voltage through the contact creating increased amperage.
Voltage drop may be an issue. The load, cable size and the distance should be confirmed to calculate the voltage drop.The voltage drop may not be the root cause but can be a contributing cause.
If you have access to a good thermal imager usit it to scan the electrical connections. We had a situation where we were blowing the fuses in the MCC for a motor but not blowing the smaller fuses in the local disconnect. We found that a loose connection in the MCC was causing the problem. Unce the connection was cleanes and tightened the problem went away.
Verify the pressure is acurate you could be starting against a higher pressure in the recieving tank which could intermittently cause the fuses to blow. The pressure switch could be bad or out of calibration.
I'd check the following:
1 contactor(s), both if lead/lag used
2 compressor motor bearings
3 reservior tank backcheck valves (400 psi is hell of a head!)
You stated that you have 200hp motor, need more info, name plate,voltage, amps, hp, three phase? Letter? Etc. motor type, wire size? Then we can determine and come up with a solution. Using 2011 NEC -NFPA
Thanks louconstant
Based on the information already submitted I would also check the power factor and see if power factor correction is faulty or necessary. A 200HP motor is a large load to be starting across the line. I definitely would use a VFD or soft-start device for that large of motor regardless. If you have test equipment a power quality analyzer measuring the start up wave-shapes would provide valuable information as to the problem by indicating uniformity, voltage and current magnitude, angle, etc.
Allways increase the wire size For 200 H.P You should
go up to the next size that will solve your problem remember I squared X ressistence= less Heat!

Healthier Salt?
Hi all I'm new around here, very passionate about cooking at home and trying to build my skills slowly but surely!
I read a blog post recently about Cornish Sea Salt (http://www.simplycornishhampers.com/blo … -sea-salt/) and was surprised to learn that natural sea salt actually has less sodium than table salt.
Do you guys use sea salt in cooking over table salt? What have your experiences with it been like?

Re: Healthier Salt?
I've always used sea salt, and prefer the taste to table salt. I find that I need to use less of it than I would do were I using regular table salt

Re: Healthier Salt?
I also use sea salt , mostly Maldon sea salt flakes , like oliviascotland I find that I use less that if I used regular table salt and I agree the flavour is better.
I have used the Cornish sea salt but I have to be honest , what puts me off buying it is the packaging , I try to avoid those plastic pots if I can , for 2 reasons
firstly... and mainly because I dont feel they are very enviromentaly friendly
secondly ... I find then hard to open .
also I am sure they add a cost onto the price that is paid for the salt.
I know that you can also buy the salt in card pouches , but , they are not easy to get your hand into.
The Maldon salt box is very easy to open and get the salt out from.

I use sea salt, too, but also fleur de sel and sometimes even just normal salt. I'm not afraid, I use salt in moderation ... I believe.

We use sea salt or Kosher salt which is a decent inexpensive option and keep the iodized table salt mostly for gargling for sore throat.

Re: Healthier Salt?
Less sodium but not by very much at all. It's still mostly sodium chloride with some other salts and fish poo. It looks cool and that's why i sometimes use it. Compared to the minerals within your actual food the contribution to make it healthier (from other non-sodium salts) or by reducing the sodium content is probably negliable.

besides all salt is sea salt. just some of those seas dried up a very long time ago and you have to mine the leftover salt.

text: You had a wonderful idea Erica; maybe, just maybe it wasn't grand enough (siting here thinking out load with a drink of rum next to me). The US and Canada covers a lot of surface area, maybe the distance and time commitment was just too much, maybe a larger number of locations in more populated areas would work. I think I read a comment of yours saying the success of the local meets was higher. Just for example, if in the Maritimes, you/we had a number of locations (say Moncton, Halifax, Saint John, Charlottetown, etc) more may have committed to a 4 hr meet. Like you, I was looking at a number of hours getting there and getting home and adding the overnight time took a lot out of a weekend. I told you that I might drop in on the US Northeast meet, if I was going to Ontario that weekend. I didn't go to Ontario that weekend; but if I had, the timing would have had to be good for me to have been in the general area when the meet was happening. I guess what I'm saying, is I wasn't close to the local meet and a long distance away from the next one. If we had had 50 locations instead of 6 (or 7), we might have had a huge turnout. If you want to tackle this again, I will help you.

hi i'am bill
my friend and i have started a bee business
we have set up my friends apiary just over 2 years ago and now we are setting up my apiary .
we will have around 100 each to start .(not all in the same place )
we have farmers that have our hive on there orchards and so on .
i am a member of some other forum and they are not happy that we use warre hive in our business .
they say we can not use warre hives in business they are not for business .
well i say we use them as they are good for our bees and that is what we want .
natural way of working with bees .
we know we can get more honey from commercial or langstroth hives but we want to move away from hives like that .
we build all our hive from wood i get free form a friend that get all there goods in big wooden boxes so i make them in warre hives .
so what do you the people of this forum think are we mad ?
do you think this will be bad for our bees .
we know we are not going to get rich working with just warre hive but as long as we can make some money we are happy .
i can not see why some people say it will not work we made some good money from the hives we have at the apiary my friends runs last year .
we have not lost any hives this winter so we are off to a great start .
we are moving all our stock from langstroth and commercial hives in to warre hive .
we are moving the last into warres and put them on my site .
please tell me what you think of this .
my friend has worked with bees for years over 20 and i only 2 years working with my friend i know i still have a long way to go before i'am a beekeeper but i will get there with help from my friend .
it all takes time read and do that is the way i'am doing it and it is working for me .
thankyou for your time
all the best

Facebook takes another shot at settling privacy lawsuit
By Dan Levine
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A U.S. judge said he would consider whether to preliminarily approve Facebook's second attempt to settle allegations the social networking company violated privacy rights.
Earlier this year, U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg rejected a proposed class action settlement over Facebook's 'Sponsored Stories' advertising feature. But at a hearing on Thursday in San Francisco federal court, Seeborg was much less critical of a revised proposal and promised a ruling "very shortly."
Five Facebook Inc members filed a lawsuit seeking class-action status against the social networking site, saying its Sponsored Stories feature violated California law by publicizing users' "likes" of certain advertisers without paying them or giving them a way to opt out. The case involved over 100 million potential class members.
As part of a proposed settlement reached earlier this year, Facebook agreed to allow members more control over how their personal information is used. Facebook also agreed to pay $10 million for legal fees and $10 million to charity, according to court documents.
However, Seeborg rejected the proposed deal in August, questioning why it did not award any money to members.
In a revised proposal, Facebook and plaintiff lawyers said users now could claim a cash payment of up to $10 each to be paid from a $20 million total settlement fund. Any money remaining would then go to charity.
The company also said it would engineer a new tool to enable users to view any content that might have been displayed in Sponsored Stories and then opt out if they desire, the court document says.
In court on Thursday, Facebook attorney Michael Rhodes said the settlement provided meaningful protections and that Seeborg's job was to ensure a fair settlement - not write national privacy policy. Continued...

Ironically I just got back from a two day stay at the V.A. hospital.. Dropped with the "Super Influenza."
Neighbor got it, then my tenant, then me.. Do not even feel it coming, just drops you to the ground. Yes I got the flu shot..
Body core freezing, outside literally pouring with sweat. Congested lungs, difficulty breathing.. Interesting not much body temperature rise, no real fever.
Soon as I hit the V.A., I.V. with massive antibiotics.. Before blood work..
Not the dying I am worrying about, just the suffering.. V.A. here in Central Florida filled with cases now, elderly doing the worst..
Do they know what it is? I really do not believe they do.. Good talk with my Doctor..
-Takes about 6 months to hit the States, we thought it might be coming.
- 6 months Doc.. See these clothes I am wearing? 17 hour flight too the Orient, 2 hour flight from N.Y. too here. Just stopped in here to Gainsville, did not feel good.. Hypothetically now.. See the jacket on the chair, how do you know it is not infected with the virus?
- Good point, well taken. Your right, with world travel it can be here in under a day.
Now with medicine, feeling much better.. Actually gave me meds they treat cancer patients with..
Don't smoke, eat healthy, stay in shape.. If you feel it coming on. Do not hesitate, go straight too your Doctor.. It is like getting hit with a fast moving semi truck..


text: All, I was talking with another beek the other day and the subject of payment came up. I told him that I get 50% up front, and the balance on completion. He indicated that was a bad way to do it. he gets his all in advance. Is there anyone here who does it differently? I mainly pollinate vine crops but that will be changing in 2013. Of course, I want to do what is best to manage my cash flow. Thanks.

Vogt's Notes: Graduation means a new chapter for parents, too
Graduation nights have come and gone at area high schools.
Students donned their caps and gowns. Girls tottered on high heels. Conversation swirled in the hallways as the graduates adjusted their caps, found their places in line and patiently waited for their ceremonies to start.
Pequot Lakes and Pine River-Backus seniors filed into their high school gyms one last time while "Pomp and Circumstance" played. In Brainerd, a seemingly never-ending sea of blue made its way down a long set of stairs and weaved around the high school track as students took their seats on the football field one last time.
Whether the senior class numbered 60-something, 130-something or nearly 500, the same sense of excitement and anticipation filled the air for graduates and spectators alike.
Each class' top students shared speeches with their classmates, reflecting on the past 13 years and looking to the future. Adults shared words of wisdom as well. Finally, each student had his or her moment of fame as each name was read aloud and the gown-clad seniors accepted their high school diplomas, signifying the successful end of 13 years of hard work.
The happy graduates ventured on to Grad Blast, all-night parties to celebrate their highest accomplishment one last time with their classmates. The weekends since graduation have been filled with one grad party after another.
Already some graduates have headed off to the next chapter in their lives, whether it be full-time work, part-time work, some form of college or the military. More and more will venture off as the summer progresses, and the whole cycle will repeat itself with the start of the 2013-14 school year in September.
But what about the graduates' parents?
Sure, we're happy and excited, too. But whether it's our first, second or last child graduating from high school, we're suddenly facing a new chapter in our lives, too.
On the one hand, we have to let go of that child and let him or her be responsible and mature and find their way own way. On the other hand, it seems like just yesterday we were picking out their clothes, pulling their hair in tight piggy tails and sending them off to kindergarten with backpacks that were bigger than their backs.
We've been leading them, guiding them and advising them for the past 18 years. We've signed them up for T-ball, softball, basketball, dance and soccer; driven them to practices; cheered them on at competitions; and faithfully attended all choir and band concerts since their elementary school days.
Now we suddenly have to let go?
We've tackled difficult assignments with them; we've helped them study for tests; we've taken active parts in science projects; and we've encouraged them and stood by them when times were tough.
Sure, we'll still always be there to continue to encourage and stand by our graduates. But as they taste freedom and independence, as they find their own way, the fear is that eventually they'll need us less and less.
That's good. But it's also sad as this happy, frustrating, challenging, stressful, but ultimately rewarding chapter in these parents' lives ends.
I wish the classes of 2013 the best of luck. But always remember where you came from and who helped you every step of the way to get to where you are today.
That's us — the parents.

Someone else posted about Prom 2006. It brought memoies of my Prom back in 1970. I love telling this story. The only thing unbelievable about this story is that the girl later married me.I was a Senior taking Advanced Senior English. I connected with a skinny blond that turned out to be a Junior taking ASE. We were dating pretty exclusively by the time Prom came around.I wanted to take her in a really nice car but I wasn't allowed to drive my father's Lincoln. I shared a 1966 Delmont 88 with my mother. It was the worlds ugliest car. It had a green interior and the exterior was yellow with a white painted top. I hated being seen in it.A neighbor's family owned a Dodge dealership. He needed a fence installed around his swimming pool and I needed a nice Prom car. I wasn't specific, I just wanted a "nice" car.He brought home a brand new 1970 Challenger convertible for me to use for the weekend. Plum Crazy with a white stripe and white top. 440 6-pack with an automatic. I was shaking as he handed me the keys and warned me not to take it out of state and not to do any drag racing. I guess I wasn't listening.Now, this girl I'd been dating turned out to be a gear head. We went to auto shows and museums. She could identify every muscle car on Woodward. The first time I saw her bedroom I expected to see movie star and rock star posters on her walls. No, she had mid-'60s Mopar hot rod pictures that she had taken at various auto shows.Imagine her suprise when I showed up in the Challenger. We went to the Prom with the top up so she wouldn't muss her hair. The car drew a crowd. It was the baddest ride there.We had dinner and I danced the obligatory dance and excused myself from the table. About 20 minutes later my date is starting to get concerned so she comes looking for me. She told some guy to go into the bathroom to look for me. I wasn't there. She looked all over for me. I'm usually pretty easy to spot as I'm a head taller than most people. Nowhere to be found. She started asking around. No one had seen me. She went out in the parking lot and the car was gone. About 40 minutes had gone by now.I came rumbling back into the parking lot and received the intense cold shoulder. I explained that I was challenged to race and I couldn't pass up the challenge. You now, it's a guy thing. She wasn't buying it. I then explained that Telegraph Road proved to be a fertile source of funds as the Challenger beat everything in sight.When I explained that I had won enough money to pay for the Prom tickets and enough left over to go to Cedar Pointe in Ohio. I was forgiven. There went the second half of the promise.We took my best friend and his girl with the top down and the stereo blaring all the way there and all the way back. Did I mention that I disconnected the speedometer? Worst sun/wind burned forehead, ever.Two years later she married me knowning the type of guy I was and soon put me on the straight and narrow. The best part about being married to a gearhead (she has 3 cars) is that we never have fights about cars or what they cost. After 34 years she doesn't even ask anymore.I'm a very lucky man.
lovely story man.
That's got to be the greatest prom story I've ever heard...
I can remember the after prom party at the lake in 1973 ( I arranged for the keg of "refreshments"), but for the life of me, I can't remember a thing about the prom. Showboat was the theme, the decorations sucked. I had a steady girl friend then, but I don't remember taking her. I was driving a pale yellow 64 Fairlane Ranchwagon, that I had dropped a 302 in with a 3 speed out of a Mustang, and a straight throw Hurst shifter, and some buckets out of a Tempest.
I think your prom car would have beat mine....
My mother had a '63 Tempest. It was my first automotive misadventure. I was 14 and my parents went out of town. I decided to do some maintenance on the car. I thought I knew everything.
The Tempest was a very unusual American car. The first unusual thing was the 4-cylinder engine. It was a Pontiac 389 with an entire bank of cylinders missing. They simply capped off the area where the other 4 cylinders would have been.
The second odd thing was transmission/rear suspension. It was a swing-axle trans-axle. It was bascially a transmission bolted to a differential. That's where the problem came in.
Apparently, I drained the differential and overfilled the transmission with rear end dope. The rear end locked up and had to be replaced. The transmission had to be flushed four times before it operated properly. Can you say "seriously grounded"?
Oh, yeah the "Indy Four", My dad worked as a mechanic for years, and while he worked at the Main Post PX Service Station, on Fort Riley, he had the opportunity to change the clutch on a 62 Tempest with the trans axle arrangement, but it had the optional 215 V8 which is often referred to as a Buick engine. I remember him saying that the drive shaft was a flex-shaft with a torsion tube...That was the expensive to produce, lightweight V-8 which GM sold the rights for to Range Rover.This "exotic" engine, while only slightly larger in displacement than the "Indy Four" 194.5 cid, the four barrel, high compression 215 had almost as much horsepower as the bottom end, low compression 389.
Quote: The initial Rover version of the engine had a displacement of 3528 cc. It used a sand-cast (rather than pressure die-cast) block, pressed-in iron cylinder liners, and a new intake manifold with two SU carburetors. The Rover engine was heavier but stronger than the Buick engine, with a dry weight of about 170 kg (375 lb). It was first offered in the 1965 Rover P5 saloon, initially making 160 hp (DIN) (118 kW) @ 5200 rpm and 210 ft·lbf (285 N·m) of torque @ 2600 rpm on 10.5:1 compression.As well as appearing in Rover cars, the engine was widely sold by Rover to small car builders, and has appeared in a wide variety of vehicles. Rover V8s feature in some models from Morgan, TVR, Triumph, Land Rover and MG, among many others. They have become virtually the standard British engine for hot rod use, much as has the Chevrolet small-block V8 for American builders.

UTSA international studies program expands as students build intercultural skills
By Bronwyn Wingo
Special Projects Writer, UTSA '05
(July 1, 2005)--The UTSA Office of International Programs has experienced a significant increase in students participating in study abroad and exchange programs. In the 2003-2004 academic year, 57 students participated in the programs; in 2004-2005, there was a 150 percent increase in enrollment with 145 students in international studies programs.

Students have a lot to gain from studying abroad. A survey published last year by the Institute for the International Education of Students found that most students participating in study abroad and exchange programs reported increased self-confidence, increased maturity and enhanced interest in academic study. Students also reported significant benefits to their intercultural knowledge and career development.
The faculty-led study abroad programs offer students the opportunity to immerse themselves in the culture of another country for two to three weeks. "It is a very positive experience for students," said Christopher Wickham, associate dean for student affairs in the UTSA College of Liberal and Fine Arts, who has led several study abroad programs to Munich and neighboring cities.
Wickham works to incorporate both artistic and educational curtural elements into the trips, giving students a well-rounded experience. "What students learn is that there is so much more to discover," he said. He will lead his next UTSA trip to Munich in 2007 as part of an intensive six-week Honors College summer session German course.
Roberto Rodriguez, lecturer in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures, says students in his faculty-led program to Spain have a similar experience.
"We were only three days into the trip when everyone was saying it had far exceeded anything they expected," Rodriguez said of his 2004 class. His study tour of Spain focuses on regional architecture and cuisine. "Just watching their faces and sharing in their experience means a lot to me," he said. Rodriguez' next trip to Spain is planned for 2006.
Blaire Wizbicki, a UTSA senior majoring in art history, recently spent a semester in New Zealand. "Living in another country really helps you appreciate the things here you take for granted every day," she said. "A semester of courses abroad had a big impact on my perspective."
Wizbicki traveled to New Zealand through the affiliated study abroad program, Australearn. Affiliated programs specialize in preparing students for study abroad and provide information on choosing appropriate accommodations, budgeting for a trip to another country, and planning social and recreational activities.
"They [Australearn] do a good job of making sure you have everything you need to plan the type of experience you'd like to have while studying," she said. "I was able to live with another girl participating in the program off-campus in a house with a couple of locals, which helped me to experience so much more of the culture."
Wizbicki, like many others participating in study abroad programs, plans to travel to other countries.
The Office of International Programs also coordinates exchange, faculty-led and affiliated study abroad programs. To help process the increasing number of requests for study-abroad opportunities, UTSA has implemented a streamlined approval process for faculty-led programs.
The new procedure gives faculty a framework for covering all the details in putting together a study abroad program, according to James McDonald, chair of the UTSA Department of Anthropology and the Council on International Programs. McDonald plans to develop a faculty-led study abroad program to San Miguel, Mexico, where he participated in an exchange program several years ago.
The new process, modeled after the system used at the University of Texas at Austin, has been successful on their campus and covers the critical details common to study abroad programs. "It's not like we're reinventing the wheel," McDonald said. "It's been tested. It's a really good group of people [at UT Austin] and they've worked very hard to get a handle on all their international programs."
The Office of International Programs offers exchange programs to Australia, Canada, England, China and Japan. UTSA established an international exchange agreement this semester with Nagoya University of Foreign Studies in Nagoya, Japan. UTSA also offers affiliated study abroad opportunities that are coordinated and managed by external organizations.

Want to play tag with HD Radio and iTunes?
Jim Richardson is the managing editor for home audio/video and pro audio learning content on Crutchfield.com.
More from Jim Richardson
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Here's a new feature that's about to be introduced on select HD RadioT receivers: a special "Tag" button that lets you queue up songs you hear on certain HD Radio channels for later purchase through iTunes®.
Here's how it works: as you're listening to a tag-enabled HD Radio channel, press the "Tag" button when you hear a song you want to buy. This saves the song information (but not the song itself) to the radio's memory. When you dock your iPod® to the HD Radio system, the information automatically transfers over. When you sync your iPod to your computer, your tagged selections appear in a list. Then you can preview the songs and purchase them for download to your iTunes library.
The soon-to-be-released Polk I-Sonic® Entertainment System 2 and JBL iHD will both include the Tag button, according to a press release from iBiquity Digital Corporation, the creators of HD Radio. Additional home and car products that offer this feature will debut early next year. Broadcasters who have announced that they are in the process of installing iTunes Tagging technology include CBS Radio, Clear Channel, Cumulus, Cox, Entercom and Greater Media.
Do you think tagging is a great idea? Or a solution in search of a problem? Would you use this feature? Let me know by posting a comment.

Lancer 2013
I actually like that. It looks like a combo of the 04-07 model and the 08-2012 model. Not bad. Next question though. Are the back lights still ugly as F***.
I like the current iteration more, but perhaps it isn't as broadly accepted as other compacts are. Pretty sure that's just a rendering though, right? That ugly Avenger-esque rear window hump looks fake.
___________________Current:1971 MGB 4-speed2003 Mitsubishi Lancer O-Z 5-speed2014 Subaru Forester XTBritish cars don't leak oil; they mark their territory!
Looks like Corolla......pass.
HELLO NO. It looks nothing like the Corolla. not even close. No way no how. Mitsubishi should drop a zero into your house for saying so.
Ugly as sin. Looks like a photoshop and not a good one at that.
_______________Your choices are white and of course black___________________
the front lights needs to be smaller and it would look 10 times better
BlackSeries:Looks like Corolla......pass.agree, looks like a friggin Corolla aside from a few front end differences. Current gen Lancer looks ok, this will ensure Mitsu pulls out of US.
I'm really not seeing where you guys are getting a Corolla from. It's clearly the current Lancer with a new front/rear ends and an ugly wanna-be hoffmeister kink.
___________________Current:1971 MGB 4-speed2003 Mitsubishi Lancer O-Z 5-speed2014 Subaru Forester XTBritish cars don't leak oil; they mark their territory!
its looks just liek the current generation lancer with really big light from say the 2004 lancer or the 2004 diamante
It's okay. I would really like to see Mitsubishi step it up with powertrains and interiors. Perhaps a partnership with Mazda could help them, assuming the Mitsubishi group is in a decent cash position compared to a few years ago.
Yuck current ones a lot better.

Isn't as sharp or as aggressive as the current one. If this is what they plan on putting in showrooms, then Mitsu isn't going to be in the US for much longer.
******************Awarded Best Troll Statement for 2011
Well look up the 2004 Ralliart Lancer, preferably in grey because that's my current model. The light were taken from there and extended.
Sandro25:Well look up the 2004 Ralliart Lancer, preferably in grey because that's my current model. The light were taken from there and extended.Lol well mission accomplished. I was going for a look more clearly relating to the previous gen haha. But you are wrong on the lights they are from the colt concept car my man. My idea for this was to make the mainstream Lancers more well mainstream & less fast & furious looking. I agree that I messed up its roof pitch i was actually going for a completly differant look but you can only do so much in microsoft paint.

Board to decide fate of aging Southern Lehigh elementary schools
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - Southern Lehigh School District directors, who are currently grappling with how to deal with two of its aging elementary schools, will make a final decision at its Monday, March 10 meeting.
Board President Corrine Gunkle announced the decision date at Monday night's school board meeting, stating meetings leading up to March 10 will give board members the time needed to examine all options and ask further questions of administrators.
School directors are tasked with deciding whether to close Hopewell Elementary School, built in 1970, or the much older Lower Milford Elementary School.
However, directors could choose to rebuild one school and repair the other, keeping both open.
Lower Milford Elementary School was built in 1950 and renovated in 1991, according to Todd Bergey, the district's director of support services. Hopewell Elementary School has never been renovated.
One of the options directors are considering is whether to raze Hopewell, build a new school on the property and also repair Lower Milford at a cost of $17 million.
Another is building a new school on the Hopewell property and closing Lower Milford at a cost of about $15 million.
A third option is repairing Lower Milford and razing Hopewell at a cost of about $3.5 million.
Displaced students would be transferred to Liberty Bell Elementary School.
Bergey told the board that building a new Hopewell Elementary School would take at least two years.
School Board vice-president, William Lycett, said that residents of Lower Milford and Upper Saucon townships will not be happy no matter what decision is rendered.
"Regardless of what we do, people won't like it," Lycett said. "The public is not going to like any change. It was never not an option to not have (three) elementary schools. That's always been on the table. It's not a forgone conclusion that we're going to two schools. We have to do what's right for the kids and the taxpayers."
School Director, Kathleen Parsons, said that if Lower Milford Elementary School is closed, many parents will likely take their children out of the school district and place them in charter schools.
School Board members, along with administrators, engineers and members of the Upper Saucon Township and Lower Milford Boards of Supervisors, toured both school buildings earlier this month to take stock of the repair work required.
Lower Milford residents have been vocal in recent months about keeping Lower Milford Elementary School open.
In other business, school directors voted to add two instructional dates to the district calendar in order to make up for days lost to inclement weather.
Southern Lehigh students will now attend school on Friday, March 14, which was originally scheduled as an in-service day for teachers.
Directors also added Friday, June 13 to the school calendar and set Southern Lehigh High School's graduation for the same date.
Directors said the addition of June 13 to the school calendar gives the district one additional inclement date to play with for the remainder of the school year.

Omicron Delta Kappa members and advisers
UTSA's Omicron Delta Kappa celebrates 10 years of leadership
(July 27, 2009)--The UTSA Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa National Leadership Honor Society (ODK) gathered May 22 to celebrate the group's 10th anniversary at a reunion dinner. Students, alumni, faculty and staff honored a decade of leadership and acknowledged past and present members. The organization's 24 charter members and faculty advisers were recognized with certificates of appreciation.
A group of UTSA leaders established the UTSA Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa on April 16, 1999. The group recognizes those who have attained a high standard in organizing collegiate activities and inspiring others to strive for the standard. Second, they bring together students representing all phases of college life, reflecting UTSA's goals of interacting with the community and other institutions of higher education. Finally, the group brings together faculty, students and Omicron Delta Kappa members to share opportunities and experiences to benefit the organization and the university community.
Attending the reunion dinner were ODK's first president, Angeles Borrego, and first faculty advisers Rex Ball and Mary Ball. Andrea Barrington, ODK 2008-2009 president, hosted the evening. Patricia Graham, executive director of the UTSA Special Events Center and active charter member since 1999, spoke about the group's 10 years of accomplishments. Charlin Jones, ODK faculty secretary, member since 2004 and adviser since 2005, also attended. These members have offered constant support to help ensure success over the life of the organization.
The evening concluded with the announcement of a new ODK alumni circle and two new scholarship programs. A goal of the alumni circle is to raise money for a book scholarship and a scholarship to cover tuition for an academic year for ODK members. ODK circle members will be eligible to apply for the scholarships. Before the evening concluded, $380 was raised for the projects.
ODK has five qualifications for membership:
- Exemplary character: trustworthy, respectful, responsible, caring, reasonable and involved
- Leadership including service at UTSA or in the community
- Superior scholarship with a 3.0 GPA or higher
- Demonstrated fellowship in the UTSA community
- Belief in democratic ideals

New business announced by Airbus during the Dubai Airshow further reinforced the A320neo's status as the world's fastest-selling commercial jetliner, while a customer's repeat order for the A380 further strengthened this very large aircraft's sales totals.
Airbus' new A320neo transactions at Dubai underscored the family's attractiveness for a full range of customers, as they involved one major airline in the Persian Gulf, two international aircraft leasing companies (one from the U.S., and the other located in Kuwait), as well as a U.S.-based ultra low-cost carrier.
"This represents yet another endorsement for the A320neo Family, which offers a win-win solution for leasing companies, airlines and passengers," John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer - Customers, told international journalists at an air show wrap-up press briefing today. "While retaining a high degree of commonality with the A320, our A320neo provides longer range, lower seat mile costs, lower fuel burned and more efficiency. This explains why the A320neo Family has accumulated 1,420 firm orders and commitments since its launch, which occurred only last December."
One of the major Dubai Airshow business announcements was Qatar Airways' firm order for 50 A320neo aircraft, marking a step in the Doha-based airline's decision to form the backbone of its future single-aisle fleet with Airbus' A320 product line.
Another Middle East customer, Kuwait's ALAFCO, signed a firm order for 50 A320neo Family aircraft and took options for 30 more, with these aircraft to complement the aviation lease and finance company's existing A320 portfolio.
Completing the A320neo's firm transaction activity in Dubai this week was the U.S.-based Aviation Capital Group's purchase agreement for 30 jetliners, which will be made available for the aircraft leasing company's global customer base.
Spirit Airlines of the U.S. signed a memorandum of understanding for 45 A320neo jetliners and 30 A320s, marking an additional market commitment in North America from an existing A320 operator. The new A320s to be acquired by Spirit will be equipped with Airbus' Sharklets™ wingtip devices that cut down on aerodynamic drag for lower fuel consumption and reduced carbon emissions, which are optional on A320s and incorporated as standard fit on the A320neo.
Also included in the Dubai Airshow's business volume was Qatar Airway's firm contract for five additional A380s, along with three options. It doubles the airline's A380 firm order total to 10, and raises overall firm bookings for Airbus' 21st century flagship jetliner to 243 from 18 customers.
Completing the air show's commercial activity was a commitment from Comlux for an Airbus ACJ321 – the first ever placed for this version in the A320 Family of corporate jetliners. Having previously ordered the ACJ318, ACJ319 and ACJ320, Comlux' new A321 commitment makes the VIP charter services operator the world's first with acquisition plans for all four members of Airbus' corporate jet family.

Holden has announced some blingy bits for its upcoming Malibu sedan, due for release next year.
Holden boss Mike Devereux announced the Malibu at the Sydney Motor Show this week, alongside other new models, including a fresh Barina CDX, the weighty Colorado 7 4x4 and a sportwagon variant of the popular Cruze.
Keeping the Malibu out of the way of potential buyers of the very well-specced Cruze was always going to be important, announcing a pair of fairly grunty four-cylinder engines and a solid complement of tech goodies will likely do the trick.
When the mid-sized sedan appears in 2013, there will be a 2.4-litre DOHC petrol engine or a 2-litre common rail diesel turbo on offer - both with six-speed autos with manual shifting.
Maliubu will get rear-park assist, stability control, keyless entry, a colour touchscreen and a premium audio system. It will also have MyLink, a smartphone integration system that has been available on US General Motors products for some time.
It lets the car connect to compatible devices by Bluetooth, plug-in or USB, and interfaces through the colour touchscreen and allows drivers access to streaming digital content through several downloadable applications.
Devereux is bullish about the potential of new global platform model and its place in Holden's fresh product range.
"It's a genuine premium sedan with strong visual appeal, mid-size interior packaging, Holden-tuned ride and handling and a surprising list of standard features, he said. "And the addition of Holden MyLink ensures it will offer customers a truly compelling package.
"Holden MyLink is very smart technology and Malibu will be among the first cars in our portfolio to get it.
"Holden MyLink elevates wireless connectivity to a completely new level by enabling customers to control certain smartphone apps through Malibu's touchscreen.
"And with two refined four-cylinder engines to choose from, Malibu's aspirational balance of efficiency, technology, style and performance will be very appealing."
He said that Holden engineers had "considerable input" in the development programme, and that local suspension tuning had been carried out for the Southern Hemisphere markets, as well as a specific transmission tune to suit our environments as opposed to the wide, straight roads of America.
Holden will release full details of the car's spec and pricing in the early part of next year. The next big product following these new vehicles will be the long-awaited VF Commodore.


text: To all beekeepers in Eastern Nebraska and anyone else this may concern, apparently a couple cases of small hive beetle (SHB) have been found in eastern Nebraska and Dr Marion Ellis is conducting a workshop on small hive beetle (SHB) on Oct. 27th 2007 from 10am to noon at the Lancaster county extension office, 444 Cherry Creek Rd suite A Lincoln, Nebraska 68528. As we all know this is a very destructive creature and should be stopped at all cost. Unless this was recently brought in with a couple of hives we have probably had a problem for some time. So come to the workshop and learn how to stop it or at the very least control it.

Red Cross gears up for 'preparedness' month
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - September is National Preparedness Month.
The Red Cross of Northeast Tennessee is working hard to make sure the public has what it needs to be prepared when disaster strikes.
"The month of September every year is time designated for us to really focus on getting ourselves and our communities prepared for the emergencies and disasters that happen in our lives," said Glenda Bobalike, executive director of the American Red Cross of Northeast Tennessee.
The idea to highlight preparedness came shortly after the September 11 attacks almost 12 years ago. "It really came out of the September 11 event. The Department of Homeland Security, along with a lot of partners including the Red Cross, were needed to be a little more proactive in getting everybody to be prepared," said Bobalike.
The Red Cross has developed a three-step process to help get people ready for their own emergencies.
First, make a plan. Then, create a kit of necessary items need during an emergency. Finally, get to know your community and the services that are available to you during an emergency.
The Red Cross recently developed an app for Apple and Android mobile devices to make the preparation and response process easier.
The Sullivan County EMS encourages people to plan and prepare to make the roughest times a bit smoother. "When people are prepared on our own that make our job a lot easier. They have less problems less need everything goes a lot more smooth," said Fred McGrew, Sullivan County EMS.
On September 14 the Red Cross, along with other emergency agencies across the region, will host a preparedness fair at University Parkway Baptist Church in Johnson City. The event will begins at 9 a.m. and is expected to end at 1 p.m.

Reading thru some of my books, I have a couple of questions about the ventilation for winter. The latest book I am reading says its a good idea to drill cork sized holes in both deep brood boxes, right below the handles. How many of you do that?? I already have the mouse guards on and I want to make sure ventilation isn't a problem.
Should I do this in combination with the Popsicle sticks under the inner cover?? How much time do I have before I need to do this? Temps are crazy here. They are real active today, and I noticed they are still bringing in pollen as well!
I am ready to hear 400 opinions :-)

Large Pots & Steamers
Having all of the right cookware in your kitchen is not only paramount to making a good meal, but also to you relaxing and enjoying the art of cooking. Having just several pots and frying pans can make cooking a little tougher. Having more equipment and cookware also elongates the life of your pieces. It is a good idea to have several large pots and steamers. Great for big meals, they also work well for small, family meals when steaming seafood or vegetables.
A multiport with steamer basket is a Williams-Sonoma exclusive, and its versatile design allows you to cook a manner of different things. Steam vegetables using the included steamer insert, boil up a huge lobster dinner or create your own spaghetti sauce for big dinners on family evenings. Stainless-steel construction renders this multiport extremely durable, and it can be used on any surface, even induction. For an added bonus, using nonstick cookware such as our professional nonstick steamer sets, gives you a multiport with a myriad of uses. Use the steamer insert for steamed dinners, or simply use the bottom as a nonstick pot to cook a large countertop meal.
One of the must-have items in any kitchen is a double boiler. When it comes to making some of your favorite recipes, a double boiler is a necessity, and there is no viable substitute. Use this device for melting chocolate, making fondue or preparing hollandaise sauce. The double boiler from our Copper Cookware Collection is especially stunning, with a 1.5-mm copper construction allowing for temperature control and the best in heat conductivity. The tight-fitting top seals out moisture, ensuring that your sauces or candies will be perfect every time.
Add some bold creativity to your kitchen set with some niche steamers and large pots. Make homemade snacks with kitchen appliances like the Whirley Pop, a stovetop popcorn machine and steamer, or the best steamed asparagus with a stainless-steel asparagus steamer pot. A potato steamer allows for the best and healthiest potatoes for your nightly dinner while a smoker pan brings your outdoor cooking inside by allowing you to smoke any type of food right on your stove top. A stainless-steel construction and aluminum core provides the best in heat distribution, and the included lid, smoking chamber and rack allows you to smoke everything from steaks to ribs without having to step foot outside. Other must-have items include a steamer basket and soup pot, for whipping up a big pot of soup on a long winter's day.

Fifteen years ago I had the privilege of returning to my alma mater as President
– something rare and very special in higher education today. The challenge given to me by the WKU Board of Regents at that time was to achieve a lasting transformation of the University from top to bottom. I was impressed with the Board's focus. It was very progressive – and equally aggressive – for a Kentucky "regional" institution. And so, together, we embarked on this wonderful journey. The result has been a physical, cultural, and attitudinal transformation of WKU.
Coincidentally, I arrived as the Kentucky General Assembly was debating Higher Education Reform. With the passage of what was known as "House Bill 1 – The Kentucky Postsecondary Improvement Act of 1997" – came a number of substantial changes to higher education in Kentucky. The opportunity was ripe for WKU to emerge with a broader mission and a new vision.
While educating students and providing access to a quality, affordable higher education certainly remain at the heart of what we are about as a Kentucky public institution, what Kentucky needs us to be is much more significant. Kentucky needs its universities to be economic development drivers that respond to the needs of business and industry and to be forces for solving problems and improving the quality of life for all those within our reach – whether within the confines of our hometowns or across the globe in a remote African village.
WKU has shed its regional context. Our vision has changed – no longer are we satisfied with the idea of being a good regional university or even with being "The Best Comprehensive University in Kentucky and Among the Best in the Nation." Our vision today is to be "A Leading American University with International Reach," and we are ever focused on the measures that provide points of proof that we are achieving that vision.
During these 15 years we have completed two strategic plans to physically rebuild the campus, significantly increase our enrollment, improve academic quality, and enhance student life. We have just embarked on a third strategic plan, which emphasizes four broad goals: enhancing academic quality, building a diverse university community, impacting the quality of life in our region, and being good stewards of the campus physical plant and our financial resources. We have completed two capital campaigns that combined have raised more than $304 million in private gifts to support faculty, students, programs, and capital projects at WKU. Most importantly, we have created the intellectual heartbeat of Kentucky for elementary, secondary, and postsecondary students through the Center for Gifted Studies, the Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science in Kentucky, and the WKU Honors College. Our Honors College student academic measures are outpacing those of elite private institutions, and their successes are becoming the means through which WKU is achieving national and international recognition.
We have expanded our reach in Kentucky by enhancing our regional campuses in Elizabethtown/ Radcliff/Fort Knox, Owensboro, and Glasgow. More than 5,000 students are enrolled on those campuses. We have grown our distance learning programs with more than 6,000 students currently enrolled from across Kentucky and from nearly every state in the nation. We have also recommitted ourselves to growing the number of students who transfer to WKU from Kentucky's community and technical colleges by signing joint admission agreements with KCTCS institutions in Bowling Green, Elizabethtown, Henderson, Hopkinsville, Madisonville, Owensboro, and Somerset. Nearly 1,000 KCTCS students are now jointly enrolled at WKU and are on track to earn a bachelor's degree.
Our students are more engaged than ever and are gaining experience and knowledge of other cultures and communities throughout the world through study abroad, exchange programs, and global internships and fellowships. Through our Confucius Institute WKU is bringing the Chinese language and culture to elementary and secondary students across our region of Kentucky. And our everincreasing population of international students adds an element of cultural exchange and understanding that is critical to our students' success in a global business environment.
Our athletic programs are also achieving a high level of success. WKU Football earned the 2002 Division 1-AA Football National Championship and has today emerged as a successful BCS program. Our 19 Athletic teams continue to dominate the Sun Belt Conference in all sports and have achieved national success in Men's Basketball, Women's Volleyball, and Baseball as well. Since 2000, 85 percent of WKU student-athletes who have fulfilled their eligibility have graduated.
While the physical transformation of the campus is the most visible change, I am most proud of the shift in academic quality at WKU. We have three new doctoral programs. This year we celebrate 10 years of Mechanical, Civil, and Electrical engineering programs. Our fastest growing college, the College of Health and Human Services, didn't even exist 15 years ago, and today it is home to our School of Nursing with plans to double its enrollment in the coming year. And something that wasn't even on the radar for us in 1997, the Gatton Academy, was ranked by Newsweek as the number one high school in the nation in 2012!
This report, 15 Years: 15 Points of Progress, documents the most significant changes at WKU since our transformation began in late Fall, 1997. Our success is measurable. Our achievements are significant. Most importantly, our transformation is a lasting one.
"Gary and I have spoken often about what was so exciting when we arrived, and it was the combination of being able to lead an institution but also participate in this ambitious reform agenda. Over the last 15 years, higher education has performed, and one need look no further than Western Kentucky University to see how that's played out. Our biggest challenge here (at NKU), and I suspect Gary's challenge, is to sustain the momentum against very strong headwinds. But if I were betting on a university president in Kentucky, I'd bet on Gary Ransdell."
— Dr. Jim Votruba, President, Northern Kentucky University, 1997-2012
