Signs of ancient life are scattered across the mesas above the Chama River as it winds along highway 84 in northern New Mexico. The ground here is strewn with pieces of black and white pottery, and bumps and divots in the soil reveal the lines of stone rooms and walls.
Rambling across these archaeological sites, it's not difficult to imagine the lives of those who lived here, crouching next to fires smelling of juniper and piñon, eating the plants they harvested, animals they hunted. The river's waters are too far away to hear. But the Chama runs nearby, offering life in the desert.
In the quiet that follows twilight, it's even possible to conceive how many things have remained the same since these sites were occupied centuries ago. Farmers still rely on the consistency of the seasons to plant and harvest crops; settlements still spring where waters remain nearby. Even the smell of piñon smoke rises from a campfire below the lip of the mesa.
Despite all the changes that conquest, modernization and urbanization have wrought, much has really remained the same—at least until recently.
Few people on the planet are unaware of climate change—reducing one's carbon footprint has practically become a fashion statement. But behind the headlines and slogans, scientists are tracking the impacts global warming is already having—and projecting what is yet to come.
At the global level, the effects of climate change are becoming more and more apparent: During the 20th century, sea levels rose approximately six inches. Arctic sea ice is melting. Hurricanes have changed both in frequency and strength and, following the dramatic Midwestern flooding this summer, Reuters reported such floods will become increasingly common in that region. Glaciers worldwide are retreating and growing seasons are lengthening at the same time that water supplies in many regions are tightening. And in July, the San Francisco Chronicle declared the warming western United States as "ground zero" for wildfires.
Here in New Mexico, state officials are devising plans to cut the amount of greenhouse gas emissions New Mexicans contribute to the atmosphere, scientists are saying water resources must be managed differently and activists are urging the fossil fuel industry to change the way it does business.
"A lot of people are concerned about sea level rise in coastal areas, which is obviously a very serious and legitimate concern, but I think that the kinds of problems we're projecting here in New Mexico, in some ways are worse—and they are going to hit us faster," Jim Norton, director of the Environment Protection Division within the New Mexico Environment Department, says.
Norton points to scientists' projections that the southwestern United States will experience longer droughts. Longer droughts, combined with hotter temperatures, will cause greater evaporation—from soils and reservoirs—so the effects of the droughts will also be more severe. "You can argue," he says, "that we're going to get hit harder and faster than the coastal areas that get so much attention."
Hotter temperatures are already occurring in New Mexico, he says, and scientists have been predicting the likelihood of more extreme weather events. "Well, we've certainly seen that here in New Mexico in the last five years: droughts and floods," Norton says, adding that scientists warning of climate change have indeed been correct. "It's not anymore just a future worry," he says, "It's an issue that's right here in front of us."
Indeed, the effects of climate change are already visible in New Mexico: One need look no further than Santa Fe or the nearby Sangre de Cristo or Jemez Mountains to see evidence of a massive dieoff of piñon trees.
Between 2002 and 2004, millions of acres of piñon trees in the Four Corners region died. The trees, already weakened by severe drought, fell prey to an explosion in the population of bark beetles, encouraged by the warmer temperatures.
The drought and the bark beetle outbreak fall in line with some of the projections the state's Climate Change Advisory Group makes about how climate change will hit New Mexico (see box, page 20).
Around the same time the advisory group was established, Gov. Bill Richardson declared New Mexico would steadily reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to 2000 levels by 2012, 10 percent below 2000 levels by 2020 and 75 percent below 2000 levels by 2050.
Right now, the state's Climate Change Implementation Team is making progress on more than 40 of the original 69 recommendations from the advisory group, according to Sandra Ely, environment and energy policy coordinator for the New Mexico Environment Department.
For example, New Mexico now requires polluting industries to report their greenhouse gas emissions. The state also adopted a "clear car standard" to enforce higher fuel economy standards for vehicles. (Although that rule is supposed to take effect in 2011, a number of lawsuits have been filed against the state, including from car dealerships. The US Environmental Protection Agency denied New Mexico and 12 other states the right to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.)
What both Ely and Jim Norton seem most excited about, however, is the Western Climate Initiative. The organization was formed in 2007 in the absence of federal leadership on climate change; it has set regional goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and is exploring how market-based programs, such as cap and trade, might achieve those reduction goals. Cap-and-trade programs set limits on emissions. Then, polluting industries either cut their emissions accordingly or trade credits from "cleaner" companies at a market-based price.
"Cap-and-trade programs have worked for other pollutants, like sulfur dioxide—the Acid Rain program was very successful—and that's the basis for the Kyoto Protocol as well," Norton says. He adds that the WCI has set an emission reduction goal of 15 percent below 2005 levels for all its members. In September, he says, the final document will be released, and implementation of the program will begin soon after that.
"The program is not voluntary, it's mandatory," Ely says. "So, it's not just a good idea [to cut your company's emissions], it's required by law. And there will be enforcement mechanisms around this. [Companies] are obligated to comply, and if they don't, they'll have to pay the consequences."
Over the course of the past few decades—while an industry-funded public affairs campaign worked to stir up doubts over the issue of human-caused climate change—climate scientists and ecologists have continued amassing more and more data concerning the planet's future.
By their very nature, scientists are pretty low-key folks; communicating accurately about their data means speaking in terms of probabilities, likelihoods and trends. And it's precisely that commitment to their data that has allowed the public—and particularly, the media—to avoid taking climate change seriously.
But now, some scientists also speak of climate change as a moral issue. They are not only discussing their data, but also speaking of the urgent need for action.
The most outspoken scientist on the issue is probably NASA climate scientist James Hansen. In 1988, Hansen testified to Congress that the earth was warmer than at any other time in recorded history. Scientists could ascribe a cause and effect relationship between the planet's rise and temperatures and the greenhouse effect, he said, and computer simulations showed that global warming was already affecting the probability of events such as summer heat waves.
Then on June 23, the 20th anniversary of his original testimony, Hansen spoke again before Congress. There is one big difference between what people knew in 1988 and what they know now, he said: "The difference is that now we have used up all slack in the schedule for actions needed to defuse the global warming time bomb."
He also noted that fossil fuel companies have thwarted the transition to a renewable energy future, instead funding public relations campaigns—even paying textbook companies to shape how global warming discussions are taught within classrooms. About casting doubt on climate science, he had this to say: "In my opinion, these CEOs should be tried for high crimes against humanity and nature."
(Lest anyone think Hansen is exaggerating, consider that in May, Exxon Mobile acknowledged it was funding anti-climate change propaganda; after activist shareholders protested, the company announced it would stop funding nine different climate change denial groups. And in June, a paper in the academic journal Environmental Politics analyzed 141 "environmental skepticism" books and found that 92 percent were linked to conservative think tanks.)
Here in New Mexico, scientists also have been speaking out. For example, Dave Gutzler, professor in the University of New Mexico's earth and planetary sciences department, is currently pulling together climate scenarios for different regions of the state. To do so, he is using projections developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as well as data gleaned from 20th century observations here in the state. The idea, he explains, is to put projected climate change into context with natural, shorter-term fluctuations.
But in a rather remarkable paper—remarkable both for its readability and distribution to the public—published in the state's Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources newsletter last summer, Gutzler points out that New Mexicans have some hard choices ahead.
Warming trends will continue, he writes, even if greenhouse gas emissions are controlled. New Mexicans must decide how water resources will be managed in this warmer world—while water supplies are sure to shrink, the demand for water is projected to increase—and also consider the need to adapt to the changes already occurring.
"If I had one single overarching message to convey, it would be that we already see significant climate warming in New Mexico, and continuing warming is highly likely to continue and have profound effects in terms of both temperature and water management in the 21st Century," Gutzler writes in a recent e-mail to the SFR. "So we should get serious now about planning for New Mexico's future in a much warmer climate."
It's not just the future. Last spring, The Nature Conservancy released a report looking at the current climate change data for New Mexico. Although the report was drafted to help the nonprofit organization prioritize its own conservation efforts, it offers an illuminating look at how climate change has already begun to affect the state.
Aside from the massive piñon dieoff, the report's authors point to other changes already occurring in the state. These include shifts in bird populations, a change in the timing of egg hatchings in Mexican jays and a shift in when certain plant species bloom. And there are more changes to come, including the outright loss of species.
"From the perspective of wildlife and habitat conservation, many of these [changes] involve species populations declines in both sensitive and non-sensitive species," Carolyn Enquist, a conservation ecologist who co-authored the report, says. She points out that it isn't just rare species that face extinction but, rather, perfectly common species and entire ecosystems. Those changes also will impact ecosystem services, "which can include how we recreate fire hazards, erosion hazards, much less what happens to all the other species that once used the forests that [will] have died," she says.
The report's other author and director of science for TNC in New Mexico, Dave Gori, says he hopes the project will help people understand how to mitigate the effects of climate change. "I'm hopeful that we'll be able to—for certain landscapes—work out activities and actions to lessen the impacts so that we can keep extinctions at a minimum, prioritize areas that are susceptible to climate change and be smart about how we allocate money and take action," Gori says.
Gori believes part of what makes the issue of climate change so complicated is that it presents a two-pronged problem. On the one hand, humans need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to avoid the most frightening of projections. "But given that, even if we cut our emissions down to almost nothing, this machine is set into motion, and we're going to experience climate change," he says. "[And we need to decide] where do we go and what do we do on the landscape to try to mitigate the effects of climate change, so that species can adapt…"
As for what happens, much depends on how New Mexicans choose to adapt.
"To a degree, you can focus on the bleak future that's presented for New Mexico in particular," Erik Schlenker-Goodrich, director of the Taos-based Southwest Office of the Western Environmental Law Center, says. "But the reality is, this is also a great opportunity for our state and for our country to really move forward with policies that I think will benefit us long-term, socially, culturally, economically, politically."
Last year, the New Mexico Environmental Improvement Board created a new rule mandating the oil and gas industry report its carbon emissions. That rule is just a first step; it still doesn't require that industry actually reduce its emissions.
According to Schlenker-Goodrich—who represented a coalition of environmental groups that worked with the state and industry to create the new rule—the oil and gas industry has a significant footprint in terms of greenhouse gas pollution and has an obligation to reduce those emissions. Beyond that, however, he says that if industry leaders start tracking emissions, they will have further incentive to keep those waste gases, particularly methane, within the system and make the energy production system more efficient.
"So when we're talking about greenhouse gas pollution from the oil and gas industry, the solutions to that problem not only deal with climate, but they also deal with energy," he says. "In terms of that, if you put those solutions into motion, into practice—if you implement them on the ground in the gas patch, in the oil patch—then you put more of the product in the pipeline for consumers."
Schlenker-Goodrich also represents activists trying to change how the federal government allows oil and gas development on public lands to occur. (Currently, the US Bureau of Land Management has 5.4 million acres of public lands leased to oil and gas companies in New Mexico alone.)
Activists have asked the BLM to quantify greenhouse gas pollution from federally-authorized oil and gas operations and consider measures to reduce that pollution. Although the agency rejected the coalition's challenge to the April oil and gas lease sale, activists have now contested the July sale.
Despite the magnitude of the problem—and the federal government's stubborn resistance to confronting climate change—Schlenker-Goodrich harbors a fiercely optimistic streak. "We've become a nation of pessimists at some level—and that's only a recent phenomenon," he says. 'We truly are a nation that has historically prided itself on being self-reliant, prided itself on having a can-do attitude—and perhaps at no time in our history, have those two values, our self reliance and our can-do attitude, been more important."
Being engaged and educated on the issue of climate change is crucial, he says. But focusing on local community is important as well. People can make use of energy resources available in their own backyards—such as solar and wind—and stop relying on coal-fired power plants hundreds or thousands of miles away whose electricity is transmitted across inefficient lines. Working with local and state governments—and forcing them to become accountable—is key to a sustainable future.
"If we think long term, if we get out of this vicious trap of crisis-by-crisis management and really take in the long view, I think we can really do it here in New Mexico," Schlenker-Goodrich says. "Frankly, I'm optimistic…It's going to be a lot of hard work, but its going to be a lot of good work."
From his post at the Jemez Mountain Field Station at Bandelier National Monument, ecologist Craig Allen is at the epicenter of New Mexico's changing climate. As The Nature Conservancy report shows, the Jemez Mountains have experienced some of the state's most drastic warming increases, as well as precipitation decreases. Its piñon and ponderosa pine trees died back during the bark beetle epidemic at the turn of the 21st century, and the forest has been slow to recover from events such as the 2000 Cerro Grande fire and the 1996 Dome Fire. In fact, the forest isn't so much recovering as changing. Gambel oak, more of a shrub than a tree, is now replacing the pine forests that burned or were destroyed by beetle infestations.
Working for the United States Geological Survey, Allen also has been collaborating with scientists in other parts of the world, looking at forest diebacks in places such as the southwestern United States, Australia, the Mediterranean Basin and the southern fringes of the Sahara Desert.
"All these places are seeing signs of diebacks of forests and woodlands—it's patchy in places, but it's starting to show up, and people are starting to see it," he says. Warmer temperatures in these places—considered "vulnerable" ecosystems because they are already arid—are pushing forests over the edge, Allen says. "We've started to see patterns emerge that perhaps, in these most vulnerable places, the forests are starting to be killed by climate stress," he says. "It's a precursor for what we can predict: That the dominant vegetation is going to have to change."
Ecosystems will be forced to reorganize themselves as the climate becomes unsuitable for the species that dominate landscapes today, he says. In other words, the forest you see now will not be the same one your children or grandchildren experience in 50 or even five years from now. "It's not going to happen nice and gradually," he says. The dominant vegetation will be pushed past its threshold for survival—by changes in temperatures and precipitation—and die rapidly. He admits that it sounds gloomy to talk about ecosystem changes, but he does believe people still under-appreciate the risk to the forest's dominant vegetation. "Obviously, it takes 100 years to grow a 100-year-old tree," he says, "but it can be knocked out in a couple of months."
Allen and his colleagues are trying to understand how disturbances—such as fire or beetle infestations—work in the region's ecosystems and how they are affected by things such as climate variability and even land-use practices. "All those things are kind of melded together," he says. "That's how ecosystems work: Everything is connected."
He and other scientists studying the effects of climate change try to remain hopeful, he says—hopeful that individuals and society as a whole will make the right choices in the coming days, months and years.
"It's not too late," Allen says, "We have maybe a decade yet to really change how much greenhouse gas emissions we're putting out into the atmosphere to avoid 'dangerous climate interface,'" he says. "But the trends that we see out there are worrisome. And if those trends continue, a lot of things that we value are going to be increasingly at risk."

Using parallel FFT for multi-gigahertz FPGA signal processing
Post a comment
High-speed fast Fourier transform (FFT) cores are an essential requirement for any real-time spectral-monitoring system. As the demand for monitoring bandwidth grows in pace with the proliferation of wireless devices in different parts of the spectrum, these systems must convert time-domain to frequency-domain ever more rapidly, necessitating faster FFT operations. Indeed, in most modern monitoring systems, it is often necessary to use parallel FFTs to run at sample throughputs of multiple times the pace of the highest clock rate achievable in state-of-the-art FPGAs, such as the Xilinx Virtex-7, taking advantage of wideband A/D converters that can easily attain sample rates of 12.5 Gigasamples/second and more. [1]
At the same time, as communications protocols become increasingly packetized, the duty cycles of signals that need to be monitored are decreasing. This phenomenon requires a dramatic decrease in scan repeat time, which necessitates low-latency FFT cores. Parallel FFTs can help in this regard as well, since the latency scales down almost proportionally to the ratio of sample rate to clock speed.
For all of these reasons, lets delve into the design of a parallel FFT (PFFT) with runtime-configurable transform length, taking note of the throughput and utilization numbers that are achievable when using parallel FFT.
Hardware parallelism for FFTs
Due to the complexity of implementing FFTs directly in logic, many hardware designers use off-the-shelf FFT cores from various vendors. [2] However, most off-the-shelf FFT cores use streaming or block architectures that process only one or fewer samples per clock, which limits the throughput to the maximum clock speed achievable by the FPGA or ASIC device. A PFFT offers a faster alternative. A PFFT can accept multiple samples per clock and process them in parallel, to deliver multiple output samples per clock. This architecture multiplies the throughput beyond the achievable device clock speed, but comes at an additional cost in area and complexity. Thus, to use a PFFT you will have to make trade-offs in throughput vs. area. The trade-offs for a typical Virtex-7 FPGA design are outlined in Figure 1 and Table 1.
synchronization and dynamic length programmability
Click on image to enlarge
Looking at the table, a few general features can be seen in the trade-off curve:
1. As parallel throughput increases, multiplier (area) utilization increases, with a slightly lower multiple (better than linear).
2. Slower system clocks and timing closure yield sublinear throughput growth as parallelism increases. However, on modern FPGAs this degradation is diminishing.
3. Overall better-than-linear throughput/area growth is realized due to No. 1 and No. 2 above.
4. Latency decreases as parallelism increases.
Note that the specific numbers measured in Table 1 are valid only for a given target and configuration of the FFT. In this case, that is a length of 1024, with 16-bit input, dynamic length programmability (4 through 1024) and flow control. Flow control is very important for applications such as spectral monitoring, where side-channel information is often utilized to change the FFT size (in order to change the resolution bandwidth) or to temporarily stall the FFT while other operations, such as acquisition, are going on. In theory, you can accomplish flow control by inserting buffers before the transform operation. But for acquisition-driven operations like spectral monitoring, its not easy to precompute the size of the buffer required, resulting in the need to maintain large, fast and expensive memory banks.

Drug Rehabilitation is The Politically Correct Answer to The U.S. Drug Problem.
(According to the Obama Administration)
The Obama administration recently announced that it is serious about working on eliminating the country's drug problem. However, the administration stressed that the focus should be on treatment for drug addicts rather than jail sentences. The belief is that treating addicts will cost the country less in the long run than incarceration. There has also been a problem in the United States with overcrowding of jails that has been tied to the incarceration of misdemeanor and repeat drug offenders.
Unfortunately, many states are voicing concerns about the financial feasibility of supporting drug rehabilitation programs. Drug programs are threatened by tight state budgets, and many people that are currently enrolled in programs are afraid that they will be left without help if budgets continue to tighten. Former addicts have expressed that rehabilitation programs have saved them from spending a lifetime in the jail system.
Sean from Beachway Therapy Center recently said "The only real answer is getting help for those with addiction problems. Throwing them in jail is not solving the real problem." Beachway is a center located in Delray Beach, Florida that helps numerous people every month. They have seen tremendous growth and predict an even bigger 2012.
Drug rehabilitation experts back the Obama administration's belief that people struggling with drug abuse would benefit more from treatment as opposed to time spent in jail. These experts warn that cutting such programs could be seriously detrimental to both the budgets and crime statistics of states. Not only could cutting treatment programs contribute to overcrowding in jails, but there are proven ties between drug abuse and domestic violence, child abuse and personal injuries that require attention from emergency medical personnel.
Treatment programs are projected to lower expenses related to drug enforcement over time. Treatment is aimed at significantly reducing the number of repeat offenders. Fewer repeat offenders will help ease the problem of overcrowding in jails and will save money with fewer inmates to financially support. Rehabilitation is also projected to lead to less money spent on emergency response and domestic violence support as incidences of domestic violence and personal injury related to drug use would presumably decrease.
Opposition to drug rehabilitation is not limited to the state level. Many local governments are opposed to the construction and organization of rehabilitation centers. Some of these governments have voiced concerns related to the proximity of such centers to schools, day care centers and residential communities.
If the Obama administration is able to gain support on the state and local level, the aim of the administration would be to allow drug offenders to serve time in a drug rehabilitation center rather than in a jail. While this is the ideal solution, continuing financial struggles related to state and local budgets could mean a long term delay.

Singapore team at INTERPOL headquarters to meet match-fixing investigators
LYON, France – Four senior investigators from the Singapore Police Force and the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau have arrived at the INTERPOL General Secretariat headquarters to meet with match-fixing investigators from throughout Europe.
In addition to INTERPOL officials, the team from Singapore will meet with officers from key European countries and Europol to review evidence of alleged match-fixing by a transnational organized crime group based in Singapore.
The four-day meeting (11 – 14 March) will also enable investigators to directly exchange details and information about members of the group for follow-up at the national, regional and international levels.
The task force meeting follows the recent arrest on 21 February of a suspected international match-fixer wanted by Italian authorities and subject of a confidential INTERPOL Red Notice, or international wanted persons alert.
Admir Suljic, who is accused of fraud and qualified sporting fraud committed within criminal association, was arrested in Milan following close cooperation between Italian and Singaporean Police working through their INTERPOL National Central Bureaus and INTERPOL Headquarters in Lyon, France.

A patella fracture occurs when there is a break in the patella, better known as the kneecap. The patella is a large, movable bone at the front of the knee.
Some common causes of this injury include:
- Sharp blow to the knee
- Excessive stress on the knee
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your risk of a patella fracture include:
- Increased age
- Postmenopause
- Decreased muscle mass
- Decreased bone mass— osteoporosis
- Participation in contact sports such as football and soccer
- Obesity , which places strain on muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments
- Violence, such as car or car-pedestrian accidents
Patella fracture may cause:
- Sudden, excruciating pain in the kneecap
- Swelling, bruising, and tenderness
- Inability to extend the knee
- Difficulty walking
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The doctor will look closely at the knee to see if there are signs of fracture . A straight leg test may be done.
Images can evaluate your knee and surrounding structures. These may include:
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
Nonsurgical Approach
After the tests, your doctor will determine whether you need surgery. If the patella is not badly injured, your doctor will place the knee in a cast . This cast may need to be worn for 6 weeks. After that, you will wear a knee brace and do physical therapy. You may need to use a cane or crutches.
Your doctor may recommend medication to reduce swelling and pain.
If the patella is in pieces, then you will need surgery. There are two kinds of surgery that are commonly used to treat this injury:
- Open reduction-internal fixation surgery —The doctor uses pins and screws to put the broken pieces back together.
- Patellectomy—Rarely, the doctor removes part of the kneecap or the entire kneecap.
After surgery, you will need to do physical therapy. This can involve range-of-motion exercises and stretching . You will slowly build strength in the injured leg. In some cases, another surgery will be needed to remove the pins and screws.
Depending on the injury, recovery can take weeks to several months.
To help reduce your chance of a patella fracture:
- Do not put yourself at risk for trauma to the bone.
- Do weight-bearing exercises to build strong bones.
- Build strong muscles to support the knee, prevent falls, and to stay active and agile.
- Wear proper padding and safety equipment when participating in sports or activities.

David Edds named 2013 Roe R. Cross Distinguished ProfessorApril 30, 2013
Teacher, scholar, mentor, Peace Corps volunteer. Today, Dr. David R. Edds added a new title — 2013 Roe R. Cross Distinguished Professor.
Edds learned of his award during a surprise announcement in the aquatics laboratory at Emporia State University where he and students in his ichthyology class were preparing to leave for a field trip.
Roe R. Cross Distinguished Professors are selected for their "scholarship, teaching and, in particular, mentoring students," Dr. Brent Thomas, chair of the Division of Biological Sciences told Edds and his students.
Thomas led the announcement delegation that included Dr. Marie Miller, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; Dr. Gwen Alexander, interim provost and vice president for academic affairs; and Dr. Michael D. Shonrock, president of Emporia State University.
Edds, who grew up in Independence, Kan., joined the faculty at Emporia State University in 1989.
"He is one of the most highly respected teacher on this or any campus by the people who truly matter most, the students," wrote a colleague, describing students' reactions to taking Edds' classes.
A graduate student agreed, writing in the nomination packet that Edds "is a professor who cares about his students and wants them to succeed, pushing them past what they think their limits are."
Edds earned an associate's degree from Independence Community College and bachelor's degree in biology from the University of Kansas, then served as a Peace Corps volunteer working in Siraha and Kathmandu, Nepal. While there, Edds was a volunteer and volunteer leader for fisheries extension and aquaculture, a conservation program developer and community foresty training project director.
He returned to the United States to earn his master's and doctorate degrees in zoology from Oklahoma State University. For his dissertation, he studied fish in Nepal's Kali Gandaki/Narayhani rivers. Between earning his two graduate degrees, Edds spent another term with the Peace Corps in Kathmandu, this time as a math-science training project director.
During his time in Nepal, Edds conducted extensive research into the native fish populations. His work established research collections at Oklahoma State University and the University of Kansas that remain in use today.
Closer to home, Edds and his students have conducted extensive research into aquatic life in the Neosho River and other Kansas waterways. This research includes zebra mussels, the Neosho madtom and effects of dams on aquatic life.
Outside the campus community, Edds' activities have included at the Emporia Area Regional Science and Engineering Fair, coaching soccer and baseball for the Emporia Recreation Commission and conducting aquatic ecology summer camps for Girl Scouts, the Youth Conservation Corps at the Flint Hills Wildlife Refuge and Emporia Recreation Commission summer camp.
He is a member of American Fisheries Society, American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists, Chelonian Conservation Society, Southwestern Association of Naturalists, Kansas Academy of Science, Kansas Chapter of the American Fisheries Society and Nepal Fisheries Society.
The Roe R. Cross Distinguished Professor Award includes a $1,000 honorarium for professional activities. Edds will be honored at a university reception later this month, be listed in the spring commencement program and be the speaker at the December commencement.

Remy Landau is quite correct in noting that after 2089, the next time Pesach will start on March 26 will be in the Gregorian Year 79431 ("Calendar calculations," Oct 11). However, as the average length of the Jewish year is longer than that of the Gregorian year, over time, Jewish dates will tend to occur later in the Gregorian year. Eventually, as he indicates, a Jewish date will "wrap round" so that, having passed through the seasons, Pesach will once again begin on March 26. In doing so, the Jewish calendar will appear to have a lost a year relative to the Gregorian calendar. Accordingly, Pesach in Gregorian Year 79431 will be in the Jewish year 83190, and not 83191 as he states.

A wrist fracture is a break in one or more of the bones in the wrist. The wrist is made up of the two bones in the forearm called the radius and the ulna. It also includes 8 carpal bones. The carpal bones lie between the end of the forearm bones and the bases of the fingers. The most commonly fractured carpal bone is called the scaphoid or navicular bone.
This fact sheet will focus on fractures of the carpal bones of the wrist. Wrist fractures of the radius, often called Colles' fracture, can be found on a separate sheet.
A wrist fracture is caused by trauma to the bones in the wrist. Trauma may be caused by:
- Falling on an outstretched arm
- Direct blow to the wrist
- Severe twist of the wrist
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your chance of a wrist fracture include:
- Participating in contact sports, such as football or soccer
- Participating in activities such as in-line skating, skateboarding, or bike riding
- Participating in any activity which could cause you to fall on your outstretched hand
- Violence or high-velocity trauma, such as an automobile accident
A wrist fracture may cause:
- Pain
- Swelling and tenderness around the wrist
- Bruising around the wrist
- Limited range of wrist or thumb motion
- Visible deformity in the wrist
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms, physical activity, and how the injury occurred. The injured area will be examined.
Imaging tests assess the bones, surrounding structures, and soft tissues. This can be done with:
Proper treatment can prevent long-term complications or problems with your wrist. Treatment will depend on how serious the fracture is, but may include:
Initial Care
Extra support may be needed to protect, support, and keep your wrist in line while it heals. Supportive steps may include a splint or cast to immobilize the injury.
Some fractures cause pieces of bone to separate. Your doctor will need to put these pieces back into their proper place. This may be done:
- Without surgery—you will have anesthesia to decrease pain while the doctor moves the pieces back into place
- With surgery—pins, screws, plates, or wires may be needed to reconnect the pieces and hold them in place
Children's bones are still growing at an area of the bone called the growth plate. If the fracture affected the growth plate, your child may need to see a specialist. Injuries to the growth plate will need to be monitored to make sure the bone can continue to grow as expected.
The following medications may be advised:
- Over-the-counter medication to reduce inflammation and pain
- Prescription pain medication
Check with your doctor before taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen or aspirin.
Note: Aspirin is not recommended for children or teens with a current or recent viral infection. This is because of the risk of Reye syndrome. Ask your doctor which medications are safe for your child.
You may be referred to physical therapy or rehabilitation to start range-of-motion and strengthening exercises.
To help reduce your chance of a wrist fracture:
- Do not put yourself at risk for trauma to the bone.
- Always wear a seatbelt when driving or riding in a car.
- Do weight-bearing and strengthening exercises regularly to build strong bones.
- Wear proper padding and safety equipment when participating in sports or activities.
To help reduce falling hazards at work and home, take these steps:
- Clean spills and slippery areas right away.
- Remove tripping hazards such as loose cords, rugs, and clutter.
- Use non-slip mats in the bathtub and shower.
- Install grab bars next to the toilet and in the shower or tub.
- Put in handrails on both sides of stairways.
- Walk only in well-lit rooms, stairs, and halls.
- Keep flashlights on hand in case of a power outage.

Guidelines for the prevention of nutritional anemia include the following:
A diet that meets the dietary guidelines will ordinarily have enough iron, folate, and vitamin B 12 to prevent anemia. Exceptions include women of childbearing age who are well advised to take supplemental iron and folic acid, and preterm infants who are often prescribed iron supplements. Ask your doctor if you should take these supplements.
Regular Check-Ups
A regular physical exam (check-up) often includes a complete blood count, so undergoing regular check-ups can detect nutritional anemia in an early stage.

Electrical testing to track fake military parts
Post a comment
Counterfeit electronic components are an increasing threat to the supply chain for consumer, industrial and, more importantly, military parts. Some counterfeit parts are like counterfeit money, unauthorized copies. Other cases include mislabeled parts where parts meant for one purpose are relabeled for another by changing the part number.
Specifically, parts built for consumer purposes can be illicitly changed, appearing to be suitable for the extreme rigors of military or aerospace use. Even authentic parts with the correct model number can become counterfeit when they are improperly recycled and marked as new.
As the producers of counterfeit electronic components become more sophisticated in their methods, it requires more detailed testing to spot the fakes. A similar device packaged and marked to appear as the correct device may even pass certain functional and parametric testing. A comprehensive set of tests includes such steps as validating the physical dimensions, testing the permanency of all markings, x-ray testing and electrical testing. For example, New Jersey Micro Electronic Testing uses a variety of tests in its Mission Imposter program to spot counterfeit electronic components.
Electrical testing over temperature is the industry standard for testing a components functional and parametric requirements at the recommended manufacturers or specific industry extreme operating temperatures. Electrical testing, the focus of this article, includes DC/AC functional and parametric testing over a range of operating temperatures. Electrical testing over temperature is the industry standard regarding testing the component devices functional and parametric requirements at the recommended manufacturers or specific industry extreme operating temperatures.
The objective of electrical testing is to determine the quality of each product to avoid counterfeit distribution and production. This is accomplished by running a suite of tests or as many vital tests as possible to check the DC, AC, functional and parametric performance of the component in question. The intricacies of these tests can easily give test engineers a robust data set that they can use to uncover a counterfeit component where other test methodologies fail to uncover any problems or anomalies.
Comparing the data set that these tests yield to the limited data set provided by some of the newer electronic component testers on the market exposes the limited functions of these newer test instruments in uncovering counterfeit components. These testers, to their credit, can easily detect early signs of counterfeit production but are limited in finding functional and parametric data and should not be viewed as a functional and parametric electronic component tester. For example, these new test devices only provide curve trace testing. Curve tracing tests each pin against a known good unit by exercising only pin-to-ground and pin-to-supply voltages and all pins can be grounded and each pin measured against other grounded pins. More complete testing with full functional and parametric data is required to fully qualify a component.
Figure 1 shows a typical curve trace for a digital microcircuit. The curves indicate whether the pins are making contact to the device. The top middle pane shows a pin that is not making contact; the other panes show pins making contact.
The more proper methodology of electrical testing is to use automatic microcircuit testers that can exercise multiple functional and parametric tests at one time to test the device properly in accordance with its port number requirements.
Automatic or automated test equipment (ATE) is any apparatus that performs tests on a device under test (DUT), using automation to quickly perform measurements and evaluate the results. An ATE system contains dozens of complex test instruments (real or simulated electronic test equipment) capable of automatically testing and diagnosing faults in sophisticated electronic packaged parts or on wafer testing, including ICs and SoCs.
ATE is widely used in the electronic manufacturing industry to test fabricated electronic components and systems. It is also used to test avionics and the electronic modules in automobiles. It is used in military applications like radar and wireless communication, as well as in medical and industrial component manufacturing.
Another form of proper electrical testing is to use an instrumentation board or instrumentation interface between the electronic component, stand-alone test and measurement equipment and PC-based test and measurement equipment to provide specific functional and parametric testing. These tests are either made available by the component manufacturer or are custom designed by the test lab with the end-customers review and approval.
The initial connection is provided by parallel and serial interfaces, including the general purpose interface bus (GPIB). However, current technological trends require a more powerful interface, which is provided by implementing universal serial bus (USB), PXI, VXI and LXI/Ethernet ports.
Once a program has been generated and an instrumentation outline has been set up for the test, the device is then ready for electrical testing. All exercises will begin testing at room ambient temperature of approximately 25°C. Two accurate methodologies of testing electronic components under their extreme operating temperatures are to use a precision temperature forcing system (PTFS) or liquid nitrogen to accurately condition the component under test.
A PTFS (Figure 2) uses compressed forced air with custom-built test fixtures to maintain very cold temperatures as low as -100°C for a DUT as well as to maintain very hot temperatures of up to +300°C.

Hi Mike,
Actually I wanted to forget this thread as I feel there was a lot of misunderstanding involved...
You can look for and list as many parallels as you like - I never said there are no parallels to be found.
But well, I could even tell you parallels between satanism a la La Vey and Zen. You can *always* find parallels.
There is a decisive difference though that cannot be explained away:
To use the concept of God: In Catholicism god is something external, separate from you and the universe. In Zen God is you and in fact everything there is... (one could argue though whether it makes sense to use this word in the first place, but I guess you know what I mean.)
I prefer to keep my answer on a general level (there are things I am only willing to talk about with my teachers):
It is not about believing for everyone. And everyone has at least a chance to find out.
But forget about Kensho/Satori/Enlightenment/etc. This practice is not about these things.
Perhaps for Rinzai practitioners.
Maybe you might check out the stuff from Kodo Sawaki...

REPORT: Sharks suffer Semi-Final heartbreak once again01-Sep-2012
Sussex Sharks suffered semi-final heartbreak for the second successive Saturday as they were beaten by Hampshire Royals at The PROBIZ County Ground, Hove this afternoon in the Clydesdale Bank 40 Semi-Final.
After winning the toss and electing to bat, Luke Wright was the star of the proceedings as he smashed his second successive century in the competition following this vital hundred in the Bank Holiday Monday victory over Kent Spitfires at Canterbury.
His 122 from only 100 balls was the mainstay of the Sussex innings but he lacked solid support despite starts from Chris Nash (26) and Matt Prior (28). The total of 219 for 8 looked at the time defendable but Hampshire's start in reply was phenomenal.
By the time the first wicket fell, that of opener Michael Carberry, the Royals had already made 129 as the Man of the Match hit 68 from only 36 balls, a devastating knock to take the game away from the Sharks.
He was well supported by James Vince (58) and despite Will Beer removing both openers it wasn't to be Sussex's day as Jimmy Adams (44 not out) and Simon Katich (47 not out) ensured that the Sharks lost in the Semi-Final of the CB40 for the second year on the bounce.
Above: Luke Wright on his way to a fantastic century at The PROBIZ earlier today. Unfortunately, the Sharks' total proved to be well short

Jumpstart 2010
For Immediate Release
September 27, 2010
(Philadelphia, PA) Urban Camouflage was the theme of Moore's 15th Annual Jumpstart Fashion Show, held on October 13, 2010 at the College. Traditionally the first fashion show of the new school year, junior and senior fashion design students had to devise, design and showcase a garment based on a theme in one month's time.
In keeping with the theme of Urban Camouflage, students created garments designed to conceal themselves in an urban setting, in this case, various locations around the City of Philadelphia.
"Jumpstart is a project that was instituted so that students would have an exciting, conceptual, runway piece to design, create and show one month after school begins," said Janice Lewis, chair of the Fashion Design Department. "This year, we sent students to take digital images of the city of Philadelphia. The garment they make must 'disappear' when shown in front of the image. We will project the image at the show and the model will 'walk out of it.'"
Judges for this year's Jumpstart fashion show included Lorie Mertes, Rochelle F. Levy Director and Chief Curator, The Galleries at Moore; Theresa Rose, Public Art Project Manager, Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy, City of Philadelphia; and Rhonda Ryan, PR and Social Networking Manager for John Wind/Maximal Art and author of Philadelphia fashion blog Style Shepherd.
Selections from Jumpstart will be on view in The Galleries at Moore from October 15, 2010 to January 15, 2011.
Jumpstart 2010 Award Winners:
First Place/Winner:
Sulki Amy Kwon, "train schedule," 30th Street Station
Read a blog posting about Sulki here
Second Place:
Deborah Artaza, "social overlap," Cira Center near 30th Street Station.
Third Place:
Stephanie Berry, "wall of a parking garage," 9th Street and JFK Boulevard.
Honorable Mention:
Alea Blue, "The Barclay," 18th & Locust Streets.
In addition to Jumpstart, five students modeled the senior collection of Sharday Gregory '10 during the 17th Annual Phasion Phest, the Delaware Valley's premier fashion event on September 28 at 12th and Arch Streets.
Works created by student designers were also shown during Philadelphia Fashion Week on October 7 at 23rd Street Armory. Moore showcased a collection of 24 garments from the 2010 Spring Fashion Show, including pieces by Leah Boston '10, Tiara Maillard '10, and Dominique Streater '10, and a finale of gowns by Neel El Sherif '10.
(Design by Alexa O'Neill, inspired by Brave New World Comics, Philadelphia)

Hi. I just wanted to let you know that I ordered (and received) the Home Mat. I have been decorating cakes for just under a year, as a hobby, for family and friends. I have used The Mat 3 times and have to say this is the best decorating tool that I have purchased. I really enjoy working with fondant and The Mat has taken all the guess work out of how much fondant to use and eliminated having to constantly measure the size that I've rolled out. I love The Mat and am so happy I ordered it. Greatest invention ever! Thank you so much.
Kind regards,
Shawn, Canada

For Nathalie Rethazy, a co-chair of Temple Sinai Congregation's young families committee, it's important to show her children that she's "involved, and that the synagogue is our community, our second home."
Rethazy – along with Temple Sinai's Rabbi Daniel Mikelberg, Rabbi Ilan Emanuel and nursery school principal Bibi Golberg – travelled to Chicago recently to take part in a three-day conference run by the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ), the umbrella group for 900 congregations.
Temple Sinai, a 1,700-family congregation, was the only Canadian synagogue among 32 at the late January conference, where the URJ launched three of its new "communities of practice," or congregational networking groups.
The groups, which will collaborate for the next 18 months, revolve around
• emerging young adult initiatives
• successfully engaging young families, and
• pursuing excellence through the congregations' early childhood centres.
Rethazy said it was a "phenomenal" weekend and that, in the next year and a half, she hopes to connect with people she met at the conference and pick up new ideas that she can use at the temple to engage young families.
"It was lovely to come together as a whole and know that we're all in the same boat," she said.
Recent young family initiatives at Temple Sinai include tot Shabbats, home Havdalahs and mitzvah days.
Golberg and Rabbi Emanuel, who is in charge of young families programming at the temple, work with the same cohort of congregants.
Golberg noted that many parents "are looking for Jewish opportunities rather than just secular choices." As well, she added, parents want to be more involved in their children's Jewish education.
"We're looking at how we can reach these young families," she said.
"This is the first step, where we are going to be working together creating some new programs that will come out of this."
According to a URJ news release, participating congregations will work together to "push the boundaries of existing congregational efforts, experiment in their own communities, receive peer support and guidance," as well as learn from URJ faculty.
At the conference, the organization's president, Rabbi Rick Jacobs, worked with each group, and URJ faculty member Amy Asin led workshops on experimentation and evaluation.
Rabbi Mikelberg, who is in the "young adult" community of practice group and works with congregants in their 20s and 30s, said that "the hope is to join together congregations across North America focusing on similar challenges. The idea is that we can help each other to grow and blossom and embrace this challenge."
He said Temple Sinai's programming for young adults focuses on social action, a social aspect, and an "entrepreneurial" series that offers mentoring opportunities.
"It's all about synagogue life and community life, and supporting one another."
One change in recent years, Rabbi Mikelberg said, is that synagogue life is no longer contained within the walls of the temple. Most of his programs are off site.
Although the other synagogues represented at the conference are American, those in big cities share similar challenges and opportunities, Rabbi Mikelberg noted.
"It's definitely very exciting. I now feel I have colleagues across North America, with whom I can brainstorm."

Skyjacker Lift Kit F8852KS-H
- Vehicle specific components and shocks ensures a great fit that performs just as well
- Multiple heights available depending on the application
- Looks great and increases trucks off-road ability (That's called a "Win - Win")
- Fitments for the most popular trucks on the road today
- Backed by a limited lifetime warranty
Looking for the baddest truck lift on the market? Don't look any further than Skyjacker suspension lift kits. Seriously, if you want a truck or jeep than can drive over boulders and small, import cars, this is exactly what you need. Do we recommend driving over cars? I don't know; maybe get the car owner's permission first.
Skyjacker suspension lift kits include everything you need to get the ride height that your truck so rightfully deserves. Since every truck and Jeep is different, the components are going to differ between applications. Skyjacker designs their lift kits for your specific vehicle, so you can expect excellent performance and a smooth ride. Skyjacker suspension lift kits are backed by a lifetime warranty, so you can be confident that your truck or Jeep is going to ride great for a long, long time.
Why would anyone ever want to lift their truck? First off, that question isn't a real question, and I don't want to answer it. Second, if I must answer it, people like lifting their rides because it looks amazing, increases ground clearance, and allows for bigger tires.
Your truck deserves a Skyjacker suspension lift kit, and so do you! Get yours today, get off-road, and go run something over. Remember though, if it isn't your car you're running over, you need permission – can't stress that enough.
Skyjacker suspension lift kits are backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
This limited lifetime warranty does not apply to products characterized by one or more of the following:
1) Products that have been subject to abuse, neglect, accident, fire, improper installation or adjustment, and corrosion.
2) Products that have been modified or altered outside of or beyond SKYJACKER® specifications.
3) Products used in application other than those recommended in the current SKYJACKER® catalog or in the instructions accompanying the product.
4) Products that are used for competition or racing activities.
5) This limited lifetime warranty does not include polyurethane components, product finish, and any conditions caused by normal wear and use.
Skyjacker suspension lift kits include all the necessary hardware and components, as well as the install instructions. The instructions are easy to read, and any knowledgeable DIY'er or experienced mechanic shouldn't have any issues following along. If you have any questions, give RealTruck a call at 877-216-5446.

10 top startups to watch in 2013
17 comments
Processors, memory, manufacturing processes, chip architecture, EDA, MEMS, RF, touch screens, servers and the Internet of Things are markets where startups can still make a difference.
What follows are ten rising companies worth tracking in 2013.
Nantero Inc. (Woburn, Mass.) was founded in 2001 and has been working on the use of carbon nanotubes in non-volatile memory applications since then. Having made some noise about a trench-based device structure in 2006 things went quiet again until 2012.
The company has changed its device to an even more scalable in-via structure and has announced additional funding of $10 million led by a couple of strategic partners. In addition microelectronics research center IMEC (Leuven, Belgium) announced a joint development program to make CNT non-volatile memories with critical dimensions of less than 20-nm, and senior IMEC executives expressed the hope that the memory could be deployed as a replacement for DRAM.
If this technology is going to fly it should be able to demonstrate more progress in 2013 and perhaps we will find out who are the strategic partners?

ACADEMY: Izi Noakes added to the Sussex Academy30-May-2012
Sussex County Cricket Club have added Izi Noakes to their Academy squad.
The original Academy line-up was announced back in January and thanks to the hard work shown by opening bowler Noakes, she has persuaded the County's coaches to add her to the squad.
The Brighton-born 18 year-old has also earned her place in the Super 4's which sees the best 48 players in England selected to play in a tournament across four teams. She is also a regular in the Sussex Womens side as well as their Under 19's.
Charlotte Burton, Sussex Womens' Cricket Association's Director of Cricket, said, "Izi has worked incredibly hard over the last 6 months on her fitness and cricket.
"Her determination and dedication has shown how much she wants to get to the highest level and all the hard work has paid off with her inclusion into the Sussex Academy.
"I am extremely pleased for Izi as I know how much work she has put in over the last few months to achieve her goal.
"She will play a key role with the ball for the Women and the Under 19's this year and I know being on the Academy will help her further and hopefully we will see her in an England shirt in the near future."
Noakes will join the existing players on Sussex's Academy programme which is combined with the ECB. They are Georgia Adams, Harry Finch, Callum Jackson, Tim Moses, Abidine Sakande, Ollie Graham, Josh Hayward, Elliott Hooper, Fynn Hudson-Prentice and Stuart Whittingham.
All Academy players are given a bespoke yearly programme covering physical, technical, mental, tactical and life skills. These are delivered by the professional coaching staff, primarily on a one to one basis, with all programmes overseen by Cricket Performance Manager Keith Greenfield at The PROBIZ County Ground, Hove and the Sutton Winson Academy Ground in Blackstone.

As Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg addressed the Formula One media for the first time since departing Spa at war, the body language expressed by the Mercedes drivers spoke volumes.
In front of a crammed press conference room at Monza, the venerable circuit the scene of this weekend's Italian Grand Prix, all eyes were unsurprisingly trained on the duelling duo.
Moments after taking his seat, like a true showman Hamilton played to the crowd as he borrowed the phone of Mercedes' senior press officer.
The 29-year-old then proceeded to take one photo of the gathering, before then snapping a 'selfie' with the journalists and photographers behind him.
For the most part, Hamilton was relaxed, taking the questions in his stride, smiling profusely at one point when Fernando Alonso - sat in between the pair - put his arm around the Briton when the Spaniard was asked if he could be an "ambassador for peace".
At the other end of the front row was Rosberg, giving off an air of someone who wished to be anywhere else other than in that room being grilled by the media.
Credit to Rosberg, he did not duck the issues at hand, but he was predominantly hard faced, suggesting the last two weeks since what had transpired at Spa had been a strain.
Rosberg was handed a six-figure fine by the team for colliding with Hamilton on lap two of the Belgian Grand Prix which, in the words of Williams' Felipe Massa, "destroyed" the Briton's race.
The upside for Rosberg is he came away from Spa with a 29-point lead over Hamilton with just seven races remaining.
The downside has been the fact he was forced to admit he was in the wrong, the criticism he faced from his team bosses and the backlash in general from many observers.
Asked as to what had persuaded him to apologise, after insisting fiercely on Sunday in Belgium and in his video blog the day after that what transpired was "a racing incident", Rosberg said: "Just with time.
"I took the week to think about it, had a look at it and discussed it with the team last Friday, and in the end decided it was me who should take responsibility for it.
"It definitely was a decision that came from me after hearing people's opinions and having looked at it myself again.
"I felt it was my responsibility. I definitely was not proud of the way it went because in general I really want to contribute to 'my sport'."
Rosberg now finds himself in the uncomfortable position of villain, a role he is unfamiliar with given his previously clean Formula One career.
That much was evident at Spa when he was roundly booed by many fans on four separate occasions during his time on the podium.
Wounded by such a response, Rosberg added: "It was definitely not a nice feeling to hear boos towards me.
"I understand, because they (the fans) travel a long way, some of them, to watch a great, exciting race, a big battle between Lewis and I, and they didn't get that.
"I understand that and I accept that."
Just as Rosberg now accepts motorsport's number one rule - do not crash into your team-mate.
"It's been very clear from the beginning we must not have contact between us," added Rosberg.
"From that point of view the approach doesn't change for the future."
From Hamilton's perspective, it is a future where 'trust' in Rosberg seemingly no longer exists.
For all his general confidence throughout the press conference, the 29-year-old suggested the situation between himself and Rosberg had changed, albeit far from irretrievably broken given their prior friendship.
"Trust is a big word and it's not something I would particularly apply to racing on the track," said Hamilton.
"Naturally, me and Nico have been racing for a long time and I think we set a good foundation a long, long time ago, so that's what we work from.
"It's important to really try and move forwards, and that's what I'm focussing on.
"What happened in the past is in the past and it is what it is. I'm excited to get back in the car.
"I have seven races, there are still a lot of points available, and so that's my focus."
In the end, it was left to two-time champion Alonso, as an outsider looking in,to put the situation in perspective for both men.
"I'm sure these guys will move forward," said Alonso.
"As Nico said, they have a clear target, which is winning the world championship - both of them.
"They are in a privileged position, which is to fight for that goal.
"From the outside we will try to enjoy to the maximum this beautiful battle. The sport is made of these kind of things.
"They have a good problem: fight for the world championship."

Degree-completion pledge is signed by President ShonrockOctober 3, 2012
Emporia State University is one of nearly 490 four-year public colleges and universities that have pledged to boost college completion by 3.8 million students to help the United States reach a goal of 60 percent of adults possessing a college degree by 2025.
"Student success is the measure by which we as an institution know we are fulfilling our mission," Dr. Michael D. Shonrock, president of Emporia State University, said about signing the pledge. "When it comes to students, our goal is simple — recruit, retain, graduate and employ."
Through Project Degree Completion: A Public University Initiative, the institutions will increase the number of projected college degrees they award from an estimated 14.6 million to 18.4 million over the next 14 years. Collectively, public colleges and universities currently award just more than 1 million degrees annually.
The participating institutions are members of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) and the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities (APLU). Their membership represents nearly all the four-year public colleges and universities in the country.
"Historically our four-year public colleges and universities have been about opportunity," said Muriel Howard, president of the AASCU. "Many of our students seek a quality education that offers them the opportunity for upward mobility. That is one of the reasons this commitment is so important. The other reason is that our nation's future depends on it."
"There has been significant dialogue lately about the decline of the middle class. Improving degree completion and enhancing earning power is an important component to rebuilding the middle class in this country. Public higher education has a responsibility to be part of the solution, " she added.
Part of the institutions' strategy for achieving the growth in degrees is to "make a concerted effort to reach out to former students who have attended our institutions but who have not earned a baccalaureate degree from any institution."
The institutions signing the commitment also pledge to continue to "constrain per-student educational expenditures while pursuing enhanced educational quality."
Other portions of the Project Degree Completion commitment pledge support for student access and diversity; efforts to reduce the average "time to degree" for students; and closer partnerships with elementary and secondary schools and community colleges to prepare students to earn four-year degrees, particularly in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Not only are commitments from institutions required, they state, but also "a strong, renewed partnership among the states, the federal government, and public colleges and universities."

2ND XI: Fall short in Trophy Semi-Final29-Aug-2012
Sussex 2nd XI travelled up to Durham in the Semi-Final of the Second Eleven Trophy against Durham 2nd XI yesterday. Sussex lost the toss and were put into bat. In difficult conditions, Sussex managed 122 all out with the main contributers being Luke Wells (22), Michael Rippon (20) and Matt Machan (16).
The total though was unfortunately not strong enough to trouble Durham and despite two wickets from Lewis Hatchett and Robert Woolley, their opponents won by 5 wickets.
It was an excellent achievement for the Sussex Second Eleven to reach the semi-final this season after also reaching the Second Eleven t20 final this year.
