INTERNATIONAL applicants must submit the following:
The American College Test (ACT) or the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) is required of all freshman applicants and undergraduate transfer applicants, who are transferring from universities outside of the United States. Arrangements should be made for the test results to be forwarded directly to the Office of Admissions by the testing agency.
The institution number for the ACT is 0050 and the number for the SAT is 1813.
For information and applications for the ACT, write to: American College Testing Program, Box 168, Iowa City, Iowa 52240, U.S.A or apply online by using the registration form at http://www.act.org .
For information and applications for SAT, write to: College Board ATP, Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey 08541, U.S.A or apply online by using the registration form at http://www.collegeboard.org.
Applications from international students will not be considered until all materials, including WES or ECE evaluation, TOEFL, and application fee have been received by the Office of Admissions. All documents and supporting materials must be sent to the Office of Admissions at least three months in advance of the students proposed entrance.
The international student must have sufficient funds to cover all fees, transportation, and living expenses. Please go to the Bursar's webpage to see the amount needed for admissions. The Office of Admissions has limited funds for scholarships or fellowships and cannot guarantee other forms of financial aid. Therefore, an Affidavit of Support and certified evidence of a sponsor's financial capability must be submitted. Forms are available at the Office of Admissions or from the Tuskegee University web site.
In order to enroll at Tuskegee University, you must be a full-time student and will need a student visa. To get a student visa, you will need to provide the required information. Upon your satisfactory completion of your admission application and subsequent acceptance, we will issue you a form I-20 which is needed to apply at a U.S. Consulate for an F-1 Student visa. If you are already in the United States, complete all appropriate documents to apply for a form I-20 to use in support of an application for change of non-immigrant status or to follow the procedure for F-1 Student transfer. Do not submit more than one application; multiple submissions delay processing. Once you submit your application, you must send your supporting documentation. Your accompanying spouse and children may apply for F-2 visas as dependents of F-1 visa holders if funding to meet their additional expenses is available and documented.
To assist you in your planning, this document begins with an overview of the terms of the student visa, focusing on matters of particular concern to incoming students. Also included is information of importance to Canadian citizens and nationals of countries participating in the Visa Waiver Program. You will also find the details of requirements to qualify for a form I-20, information for applicants from countries restricting foreign exchange transactions, and early guidance on what to expect when you apply for an entry visa. We ask you to attend carefully to completing your admissions application and to submitting the appropriate supporting documents.
Processing of a new form I-20 takes 10 to 15 days at the Office of Admissions AFTER we have a COMPLETE application. If First Class mail service to your location takes an additional 15 to 23 days, you may expect to receive your form I-20 within 25 to 38 days from the day we receive your request. Few locations worldwide consistently receive First Class mail from Tuskegee, Alabama, in fewer than 10 days. First Class mail to the People's Republic of China快2彩票 (PRC) commonly takes more than 30 days.
We understand that waiting for your I-20 to arrive can be stressful. If you wish to request that we re-send your I-20, you may contact us by e-mail at admissions@mytu. or telephone at 800-622-6531. We will do so ONLY if we determine there is a reasonable probability that your papers have gone astray. Replicating and re-sending your documents adds to the cost of processing applications and delays preparation of documents for other students. Based on our experience with thousands of mailings, we will consider a request to re-send a form I-20 only after the original I-20 has been in the mail 20 days (30 days for mailings to the PRC) but not received.
There are two immigration-related terms which you will see frequently: "entry visa" and "immigration status". The first term, entry visa, refers to the entry visa affixed or stamped in your passport that permits you to enter the United States. This stamp is obtained at a U.S. Consulate. Your entry visa is used only for entries to the U.S. and may expire during your stay with no repercussions. The second term, immigration status, reflects the most recent notation on your I-94 Arrival/Departure Record, commonly known as the I-94 Card. Your immigration status is generally the same as your entry visa classification: F-1, B-2, J-1, etc. The I-94 Card you receive upon entering the U.S. is proof of immigration status (non-immigrant classification) in the U.S. and specifies the length of time one is permitted to stay. When you arrive in the U.S., the customs or immigration official will retain the Arrival portion of the I-94, make notes concerning the immigration status (non-immigrant classification) on the Departure portion, and either insert or staple the I-94 (Departure) Card into the passport, usually next to the page that holds the corresponding entry visa.
Those who hold F-1 student visas are normally admitted to the U.S. for "Duration of Status (D/S)" by the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (BCBP) which is the U.S. government agency responsible for administering regulations related to the entry of non-U.S. citizens. Under the terms of a student visa, you are required to pursue a full-time course of study during the academic year, August through May. For BCBP purposes, Tuskegee University commonly defines full-time study as those registered for 12 or more credits or one Residence Unit each semester.
Students in F-1 status may work on campus part-time (up to 20 hours per week) with the permission of the International Programs Office (IPO). A student may apply for permission to work off campus only after 9 months in F-1 status. This requires the prior written approval of the IPO and the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration 快2彩票 (BCIS). Employment during either the academic year or the summer should not be considered a major means of support while at Tuskegee unless the University offers employment in the form of a teaching or research assistantship. Dependents holding F-2 status may NOT work under any circumstances.
A major academic and financial benefit for many students in F-1 status is eligibility to apply for various forms of practical training (employment directly related to your field of study). However, please note that one must be a full-time student in an immigration status appropriate for studying for at least the previous nine consecutive months to be considered for practical training. Details are available from the International Programs Office.
Canadians do not need entry visas to enter the United States. Those entering the United States to study must request F-1 status at the border and must show the form I-20 to the BCBP inspector who will issue an I-94 Card upon entry to the United States. Canadian students must have an I-94 Card to confirm current F-1 status.
In addition to a complete Application for Visa Certificate, you will need to submit the following documents with official English translations:
Various documents are required depending on the source of financial support. If you have more than one source of funding, please provide the required documentation corresponding to each source listed below. Please do not send original documents as we cannot return them to you. The required documents for each source of support, plus English translations, are as follows:
Personal funds- A certified copy of a bank letter on bank letterhead, in your own name, prepared within the past three months showing available balances sufficient to meet your expenses
Parents or family- A certified copy of a letter from your parent or other relative which guarantees your support and includes:
Your relative's name, address, and relationship to you
The program of study or degree for which financial support is being provided
The dollar amount per year in U.S.$ being provided and the number of years for which it is guaranteed
A copy of your relative's bank letter prepared within the past three months showing available balances sufficient to meet your expenses
An international organization, government agency, foundation, or another university- A certified copy of the official sponsorship letter stating the conditions of the award. The letter should specify the name and address of the sponsor, the total amount of money in U.S.$ available to you for the school of Tuskegee University in which you will be enrolling, the major field and degree for which you will be studying, and the period for which funding is guaranteed or a statement that funding is renewable annually for a specified number of years
Tuskegee University- A copy of your Tuskegee University award letter
Private sponsor- Requirements as under Parents or family a certified letter from your sponsor explaining the sponsor's relationship to you, the student, and why he or she is committed to providing for your support. Please note that U.S. Consular officials subject private sponsor guarantees to careful review and that you should be prepared to submit additional documentation when applying for your entry visa.
Available funds must equal or exceed your expenses for the year as given in the table. Students who will be in the U.S. during summers also will need to document additional funds.
*Students coming with dependent(s) should add $ 4,000 per dependent to the total amount for preparation of I-20 documents required by the United States Citizenship and Immigration 快2彩票.

U of A fans react to AD Twitter announcement
Jeff Long squashes reports of leaving university
University of Arkansas Athletic Director Jeff Long is here to stay and it's something fans are happy about.
Early Sunday morning, the Dallas Morning News and NBC Sports reported Long was in the running for a spot as athletic director at the University of Texas. Rumors started, but all it took was eight simple tweets to squash the reports.
"Further, I am not seeking a position or engaged in the search process of another university," Long tweeted.
It comes as good news to fans.
"I'm just happy that you know, he decided to stay with us, and you know, show his loyalty to the university," said Hogs fan Jacob Patterson.
"We're all loyal to him here, so he would probably do exactly what we would do in that situation," said Hogs fan Chad Gibson.
Long ended his Twitter speech by saying, "Thanks for your support of the Hogs #NeverYield."
Fans said Long is one of the biggest driving forces behind the success of the entire Razorback athletic programs, and they're happy to have him sticking around.

Technical Ear Training: Mastering the Art of the Invisible
Dec. 4, 2013
ST. LOUIS, December 4, 2013 - Timothy Ryan describes his job as "dealing with the
invisible." As an assistant professor of audio production in the Webster University
School of Communications, he knows his students face a unique set of challenges in
their training.
"Lighting is visible, costumes are visible, scenery or sets in a movie are visible but sound is the invisible 300 pound gorilla in the room," said Ryan. "Developing stable internal reference points is the only way to deal with it."
The Technical Ear Training courses are designed to do that. The term "ear training" is usually associated with musicians and their ability to identify notes, pitches, melody and chords only by hearing. But training your ear isn't just for musicians, the audio aesthetics and technology department at Webster University is one of only four schools in North America currently offering courses in this type of training.
Students who finish the program are able to quickly identify issues with both live and recorded sound and be able to fix the problems in a fraction of the time that is typically required.
"A large part of our job is focused on making things sound 'good,' whether it's dialog for a movie, a recording, live sound or video games," said Ryan. "The ability to know why something doesn't sound good and to fix it very quickly is a huge advantage for our students over students graduating from other schools."
The classes require roughly four hours of hands-on work each week. Students engage in a series of exercises using interactive software that is being developed by a team of researchers, including Ryan. In each of the exercises, the tonal characteristics of an audio file are repeatedly changed and the student is tasked with identifying or repairing the alterations. Webster, McGill University and two other schools are offering this form of technical ear training but the programs are structured differently at each school. Webster's small class sizes allow for a different way of teaching the material.
"I have three to four students in each section of the class. We cover about 20 minutes of lecture each week, after which the students each get a chance to sit at the console and do the exercises while I coach them. I have one student working at the console while the rest of the group observes," said Ryan. "Everyone perceives things differently. I can tell them how I hear but that's not necessarily how they'll hear something. Having other people in the room to share their observations has been really helpful to the students."
Vincent Falcone is one of the students in the class and said the experience has been "ear-opening" and appreciates what it will do to help him find a job once he graduates.
"There are very few people in this world that have had the chance to take advantage of such a course," said Falcone. "In such a ridiculously competitive field as audio production, it will always be about what sets you apart – what do you have that makes you better than this guy? What can you do that he/she can't? Technical Ear Training is a great example of that and additionally, the skill sets that we're building can translate into multiple facets of the industry, most notably music recording, post-production work, and live sound."
The main benefit of Technical Ear Training is that it allows audio engineers to work more quickly and effectively.
"For most audio engineers, if there is something wrong with what they're listening to, they'll turn up a frequency and they'll move it back and forth until they find the bad thing and turn it down – it's like hunt and peck on a keyboard. This training teaches students to hear that a problem exists, identify the frequency of the problem from an internal reference and modify the audio spectrum accordingly."
The program began during the Spring 2013 semester. While it started as a one-semester special topics course, Ryan hopes for it to become a required two-semester sequence for all audio majors. Ryan went through two years of technical ear training while earning his doctorate in Sound System Engineering at McGill University in Montreal, Canada and has introduced the program to Webster University.
"During the time I was taking the ear training courses, I was doing a lot of work with music festivals where you don't have much of a sound check," said Ryan. "You get the band set up on stage and you start to build a mix as they start playing. The summer before I started taking ear training, it would take me 30 minutes to get a band to the point where they sounded right. After two years of training, it took me five minutes."
Kody Dennis, a student in the class, said the course has helped him in a similar way in his work at Fellowship at The Point church.
"I think the point that I really noticed the difference was about four or five weeks into the semester," said Dennis. "I was working at the church and there was a strange resonance in the voice coming out of the main speakers. I remember being very excited because it was a slight issue, but I was able to hear it and know exactly what frequency the problem was at and fix it in a matter of seconds."
As students complete their assigned exercises, the training software records the students' scores, and also data regarding response time, indecisiveness and reliance on an external reference. These data help Ryan give accurate feedback about each student's performance and also provide insight into the ways that the students are learning the material.
"We're at the beginning stages of our research. The goal is to study the students' developmental and learning processes in an attempt to determine more effective and efficient ways of teaching this material."
Developing this very sensitive hearing can be a challenge but for the students, the work is worth it.
"The class is fast paced and it never gets easy because there is only one way to teach yourself how to hear these very small and specific nuances," said Mark Krus, a student in the class. "But it becomes a natural thing that you can hone in on and it's already a powerful tool on my work-belt after less than eight weeks. I use what I learn in Technical Ear Training every day and will for the rest of my career."

A man who sexually assaulted and killed an 89-year-old widow in her home has received a life sentence with a minimum prison term of 34 years.
Reece Dempster, 23, from Haringey, had smoked crack before breaking into Dorothy Woolmer's house.
Mrs Woolmer, known as Dot, was found dead at her home in Waltheof Gardens in Tottenham, north London, on 5 August.
At the Old Bailey, Judge Mr Justice Edis said Dempster "seemed to have killed her for pleasure".
The judge appeared emotional as he praised Mrs Woolmer's family for their dignity in sitting through proceedings.
He told Dempster that the murder had involved "sexual or sadistic conduct".
"[Mrs Woolmer] was tiny and defenceless and you knew that.
"Because of you, she died an unimaginably dreadful death. You are a dangerous man."
The court heard that Mrs Woolmer, who had been widowed in 2017 after 64 years of marriage, died as the result of "multiple blunt trauma injuries".
Dempster attacked her both sexually and physically, using a truncheon, before stealing two bottles of alcohol and her purse.
Jurors were told that Dempster is 6ft 3in (190cm) tall, while Ms Woolmer was 4ft 11in (150cm) tall and weighed less than eight stone (51kg).
Hours after the attack, he confessed to a friend: "I only got a hundred quid – it wasn't even worth it."
Dempster had previously admitted manslaughter, but initially denied murder and rape.
He changed his plea, admitting murder and two counts of sexual assault, on the third day of his trial.
Dempster had claimed that he did not remember the attack.
The prosecution said Dempster had been "casing" the house for several days and knew it was occupied by a vulnerable older person.
"The overwhelming prosecution evidence against him meant that he admitted the truth, that his vile actions were deliberate and planned," said Kristen Katsouris, from the Crown Prosecution Service.
Prosecutor Anthony Orchard QC said Dempster had two previous convictions for burglary in the area, and had breached a suspended sentence at the time of the killing.
However, he was not on a curfew or a tag at the time, he said.

The New Life: Words of God for Young Disciples of Christ
BY Rev. Andrew Murray
Chapter 26 The Life of Faith
"The just shall live by his faith" kjv@Habakkuk:2:4.
"We are delivered from the law, that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter" kjv@Romans:7:6.
"I live; and yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me" kjv@Galatians:2:20.
The word from Habakkuk is quoted three times in the New Testament as the divine representation of salvation in Christ by faith alone.1 But that word is very often misunderstood--as if it ran, Man will be justified by faith on his conversion. The word includes this, but signifies much more. It says that the just will live by faith--the whole life of the righteous, from moment to moment, will be by faith.2
As presented in God's Word, we all know how sharp the opposition is between the grace that comes by faith and the law that demands our works. This is generally noted with reference to justification. But that distinction holds just as much for the whole life of sanctification. The just will live by faith alone. That is, they will have power to live according to the will of God. At his conversion, the sinner found it necessary to understand that there was nothing good in him--that he must receive grace as one who was powerless and godless. As a believer, he must understand just as clearly that in him there is nothing good--that every moment he must receive his power for good from above.3 And his work must therefore be to look up and believe and receive his power from above--from his Lord in heaven--every morning and every hour. I am not to do what I can, and hope in the Lord to supply strength. No, as one who has been dead--literally able for nothing in himself, and whose life is in his Lord above--I am to lean by faith on Him who will work mightily in me.4
Happy is the Christian who understands that his greatest danger is to fall under the law--to be eager to serve God in the flesh with his own strength. Happy is he when he realises that he is not under the law--which demands and yet is powerless through the flesh--but is under grace where he simply has to receive what has been given. Happy is he when he fully accepts for himself the promise of the Spirit who transfers all that is in Christ to him. Yes, happy is he when he understands what it is to live by faith--to serve, not in the oldness of the letter, but in the newness of the Spirit.5
Let us make the words of Paul our own. They present the true life of faith to us, "I am crucified with Christ; nevertheless I live" ( kjv@Galatians:2:20). Not only my sin, but my flesh, all that is of myself--my own living and willing, my own power and working--I have given up to death. I no longer live of myself. I cannot. I will not live or do anything.6 Christ lives in me. He Himself--by His Spirit--is my power, and teaches and strengthens me to live as I ought to. And that life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in Him. It is my responsibility to believe in Him to work the willing as well as the accomplishment.
Young Christian, let this life of faith be your faith.
Lord Jesus, You are my life. Yes, my life. You live in me, and are willing to take my whole life into Your own hands. And my whole life may be a joyful trust and experience that You are working all in me daily.
Precious Lord, to that life of faith I will surrender myself. Yes, to You I surrender myself, to teach me and to reveal Yourself fully in me. Amen.

1. Do you understand the error in saying--if the Lord helps me? The Lord must help me. In natural things we speak like this because we have a certain measure of power, and the Lord will increase it. But the New Testament never uses the word "help" of the grace of God in the soul. We have absolutely no power--God is not to help us, because we are weak. No, He is to give His life and His power in us because we are entirely powerless. He who discerns this correctly will learn to live by faith alone.
2. "Without faith it is impossible to please God; Whatsoever is not of faith is sin" ( kjv@Romans:14:23). Such words of the Spirit of God teach us how every deed and disposition of our life is to be full of faith.
3. Hence, our first work every day is to exercise faith in Jesus as our life, to believe that He dwells in us, and will do all for us and in us. This faith must be the mood of our soul the whole day. This faith cannot be maintained except in the fellowship and nearness of Jesus Himself.
4. This faith has its power in the mutual surrender of Jesus and the believer to each other. Jesus first gives Himself wholly for us. Then, the believer gives himself wholly in order to be taken into possession and to be guided by Jesus. Then the soul cannot even doubt if He will do all for it.

Dinner Tonight: Greek Pasta with Sausage and Cheese Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
Most of the time, Greek food is off my radar. Not by any conscious choice—I'm always on the lookout for new dishes and new ideas—but it became especially clear while flipping through the recent Greece issue of Saveur. As usual, their selected recipes were authentic, varied, and uniformly delicious-sounding. Though some were more involved than others, I was drawn in particular to this simple pasta and sausage dish and its intriguing use of blue cheese as the basis for the sauce.
Pasta and sausage is nothing new—like bacon, the intense flavor of sausage has the ability to season a whole bowl of noodles. But draped in a luxurious sauce of blue cheese, Parmesan, and oregano, it was a revelation: The sour, funky flavor was a perfect foil for the richness of the sausage.
- Yield:4
- Rated:
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 ounces semi-cured Greek pork sausages, or sweet Italian sausages, cut into 1-inch pieces
- Kosher salt, to taste
- 8 ounces pasta, preferably garganelli or penne
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/2 ounce blue cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh oregano leaves
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
In a large (12-inch) skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat, then add the sausage and cook until golden, stirring only occasionally, 7-10 minutes.
In the meantime, bring a large pot of salty water to boil and cook the pasta until al dente. Before draining the pasta, reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
Once the sausages are browned, add the wine and turn the heat to high. Reduce the liquid for 2 minutes, then lower the heat and add the blue cheese, cream, and oregano. Once the cheese is melted, add the pasta along with some of the pasta cooking water as needed to create a creamy, loose sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper, divide among plates, and garnish with Parmesan.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Richard Martinez says he never set out to be a face of the gun-control movement and has no interest in taking deer rifles and shotguns from the hands of hunters. After all, he used to be one.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Richard Martinez says he never set out to be a face of the gun-control movement and has no interest in taking deer rifles and shotguns from the hands of hunters. After all, he used to be one.
Martinez just wants to do whatever he can to end the seemingly endless string of mass killings in the nation, the latest of which took the life of his 20-year-old son and five other people before the killer shot himself last week near the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Martinez, a 60-year-old criminal defense lawyer, took center stage in the gun debate when he showed up uninvited at a sheriff's news conference a day after the May 23 killings, stepped before a bank of microphones, and in a voice filled with rage and grief blamed the death of Christopher Michaels-Martinez on "craven irresponsible politicians" who won't pass stricter gun-control laws.
"They talk about gun rights. What about Chris' right to live?" he asked. "When will this insanity stop?"
On Thursday, an exhausted Martinez said he had hardly slept since that day, his hours filled with planning his only child's funeral while fielding calls from all over the world. News organizations from Canada, Great Britain and Australia want to interview him. Other people just want to say they're sorry.
"I tell them, 'Look, I don't need your sympathy. What I need is for you to DO something,'" Martinez said during a lengthy, late-night phone interview with The Associated Press.
That something, he said, would be urging the nation's leaders to engage in a serious discussion about restricting the availability of powerful, semi-automatic weapons such as the ones a lonely, troubled young man used to randomly shoot Michaels-Martinez and two other students near campus after stabbing three people to death at the apartment the killer shared with at least two of those victims.
Later, as police closed in, 22-year-old Elliot Rodger shot and killed himself.
Nearly overnight, Martinez has become a recognizable figure in hotels, restaurants and on the streets near the Santa Barbara campus. It's a strange new situation for the man who until now has pretty much lived his life anonymously along the Central California coast where he was born and raised.
"I didn't choose this," Martinez said, adding that he believes responsible people have a right to keep guns for hunting, target shooting and their own safety.
"I grew up on a farm and I had guns," he said. "I hunted when I was a kid. I understand the appeal of hunting."
After graduating from high school, he enlisted in the Army and served two years as a military policeman in Germany. He said he had to draw his weapon once to put an end to a domestic dispute.
"I was prepared to use it if I had to," he recalled.
Martinez, however, said he just can't fathom the proliferation of high-powered, semi-automatic weapons in American society.
"How," he asked of Rodger's weapons cache, "does a troubled kid who clearly had problems wind up with 400 rounds of ammunition and three semi-automatic handguns?"
A single father, Martinez said he was incredibly close to his son. They called each other and texted several times a week and had traveled the East Coast together two years ago, when Michaels-Martinez was trying to decide which college to attend.
Less than an hour before he died, the son was on the phone excitedly telling his father that his new girlfriend planned to introduce him to her parents the following week. Martinez later met the parents at a memorial service for victims of the rampage.
Martinez said his job as a defense lawyer had sometimes brought him into contact with people charged with gun crimes. It also led him to represent the parents of troubled young people who ran up against a public mental health system that Martinez said didn't provide the necessary care for their children.
That's why he said he can never blame the parents of his son's killer for what happened. It's also why he'll keep demanding reasonable gun control.
"I'm not going to write a book, I'm not going to sue anybody," he said, explaining that such actions would only cheapen the memory of his son.
"I just want to try to make it possible so that other people don't have to go through this."

The week in review
Biggest bombshell: Albemarle Supervisor Christopher Dumler, who represents the Scottsville district, is arrested for forcible sodomy October 18.
Biggest bombshell in court: Judge Cheryl Higgins rules October 16 that a videotape of accused murderer Joseph Michael Harris, 24, boasting of shooting Anthony Lorenzo "Bunny" Johnson, 22, can be shown to the jury, prompting the defense to plead for more time and the trial to be pushed back to November 26, Samantha Koon reports for the Daily Progress. Johnson's body was found at Darden Towe Park in February 2005 in a slaying that had been considered one of Albemarle's coldest cases until prison inmates came forward to finger Harris.
Biggest manhunt: Michael Nelson Currier, who is wanted on four felony counts and flees on foot when he's spotted by an Albemarle sheriff's deputy October 17, is arrested without incident late October 18 in a hotel in Farmville. Currier is charged with burglary, grand larceny, possession of a gun by a felon, and probation violation.
Worst stat: Virginia Keith, 79, becomes the 10th person to die in a crash on Albemarle roads this year. Keith was attempting to cross U.S. 250 at Tilman Road in Ivy and was broadsided by an eastbound F350 pickup, shutting down the road for hours at evening commute time. Police say speed and alcohol are not factors, and no charges are pending.
Worst hack: Southern Environmental Law Center says it's the victim of a major internal security breach in which confidential material was taken without authorization. The environmental group has reported the theft to the FBI.
Most DUIs: The high-on-PCP mom Santana Faulkner, 28, picks up additional jail time in Madison and Greene counties and will serve six months concurrently on those charges, the DP reports. Faulkner already was sentenced to one year and five months in Albemarle for driving high with a child in the car on a suspended license.
Most illegal tents: The Commonwealth Restaurant and Skybar on the Downtown Mall falls afoul of the Board of Architectural Review for its upstairs tent October 16 and is asked to defer its permit application, according to Charlottesville Tomorrow. Other restaurants with tents in violation of the city's new guidelines are Horse and Hound, Maya, and McGrady's, according to preservation planner Mary Joy Scala, who says Mono Loco's tent on Water Street is grandfathered in and can remain.
Most BAR rejections: That same night, Coran Capshaw's high-density mixed-use Plaza on West Main project on 2.12 acres between the Amtrak station and Hampton Inn is denied 4-2 a special use permit.
Best news for eastern Albemarle: The county teams with Martha Jefferson Hospital and adds an ambulance to the medical center on Pantops.
Saddest news from the Corner: The man who oversaw the 1990s revival of the UVA Corner District as well as the transformation of what had been known as Mincer's Pipe Shop from a tobacco-based place to the center of lively UVA merch died of cancer at the age of 77. Robert H. "Bob" Mincer, who had handed over the reins of Mincer's to his son, Mark, died on October 22.
Most restaurants: The Shops at Stonefield will contain far more than the restaurants already named. Also on the way: Black & Orange, Parallel 38, and Cyclone Anaya's.
Closest Scrape: Stauntonian Presley W. Moore III, 46, receives recoverable injuries when a wing on the Genesis 2 glider he was attempting to fly clips the ground on takeoff in Nelson County October 20 according to a police release.
Most Earth-shaking: Charlottesville-based music writer/producer Andy Waldeck– whose first big project was called Earth to Andy– is revealed as the new bassist for Daughtry, the popular musician raised in Fluvanna. The big reveal comes at a concert in Dubai, according to Gulf News.

DOVER — At $54,800,198, the proposed 2013 calendar year budget for Strafford County is an increase of 2.462 percent over the current budget, though commissioners say they are comfortable that the figure still comes in under the tax caps for both Dover and Rochester.
Information for the city of Somersworth, where residents recently approved a tax cap, was unavailable.
Commissioners announced Monday morning their proposed budget for calendar year 2013 and said they were happy with work conducted over the last three months between other elected officials and department heads in the county to bring the budget in under tax caps.
One of the budget items highlighted during Monday's first public commissioners meeting of 2013 was what officials are calling a "critical juncture" in funding the county attorney's office properly as salaries for attorneys in the office have gone unaddressed, leaving the county vulnerable to losing experienced attorneys to private practice, other counties or the defense bar, the budget proposal reads.
Present for the meeting was County Attorney Tom Velardi, who said commissioners efforts to address this issue are greatly appreciated and that he looks forward to presenting the budget to the delegation.
A public hearing presenting the budget to the county delegation will be held Wednesday, Jan. 30, with a snow date scheduled for a week later on Wednesday, Feb. 6.
Also included in the proposed amount is restored funding for the supervised family visitation program, which was cut from the budget in 2010 after being run for about 20 years in the county. The funding for the program will be offset 100 percent by grant revenues sought through judges, service providers, and county prosecutors who applied for a federal grant to "replicate and expand" the program. As such, it will now continue at no cost to county taxpayers.
A tentative agreement with union-represented employees and an equivalent agreement with non-union represented employees has been accepted and is funded through this budget, though its exact wording is still being worked out.
Commissioner Robert Watson complimented the hard work he said county department heads have put in to help create the budget, acknowledging in particular County Administrator Ray Bower.
"I think it's an excellent budget that we're able to come in below the tax caps with no cuts in service," he said.
New to his position as county commissioner, former registrar of deeds, Leo Lessard, said he was grateful to current commissioners, including former commissioner Catherine Cheney, for welcoming him into the fold and to participate in meetings for the development of this budget.
"I'm very impressed with the quality of leadership in this county," Lessard said.

Stocks edge gain in early trading on Wall Street
Stocks gained early Tuesday, led by financial companies, in quiet trading ahead of the July 4th holiday in the U.S. Ford got a boost after reporting its best June for auto sales since 2006.
U.S. stocks have recovered from a slump last month after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said the central bank was considering cutting back on its stimulus later this year, if the economy continues to improve. The central bank is buying $85 billion a month in bonds to keep interest rates low and encourage borrowing.
The Dow Jones rose 52 points, or 0.4 percent, to 15,030 as of 10:14 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The Standard & Poor's 500 index gained four points, or 0.3 percent, to 1,619. The Nasdaq composite added 11 points, or 0.3 percent, to 3,445.
As well as watching for clues of when the Fed will start to ease its stimulus and ultimately start to raise rates investors will this month turn their focus back to corporate earnings.
"We're in the middle of a transition," said Chris Wolfe, chief investment officer, at Merrill Lynch Private Banking and Investment Group. "You would expect to see over the balance of this year and going into next year, somewhat stronger macro economic data that translates directly into stronger corporate revenue growth."
In government bond trading, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.49 percent from 2.48 percent on Monday.
In commodities trading the price of oil rose 85 cents, or 0.9 percent, $98.85 a barrel. Gold fell $3.80, or 0.3 percent, to $1,251.90 an ounce. The dollar against the euro and the Japanese yen.
Among stocks making big moves: - Zynga jumped 32 cents, or 10 percent, after the troubled maker of "FarmVille" and other online games said its CEO Mark Pincus would step aside. The company's stock is down almost 70 percent since its 2011 initial public offering at $10 per share.
- Achillion Pharmaceuticals fell $1.92, or 22.6 percent, to $6.46 after the drug developer said federal regulators Monday placed a hold on an early-stage study of a drug combination involving its potential hepatitis C treatment.
- DaVita HealthCare Partners fell $7.14, or 5.9 percent, to $113.90, after the government proposed cutting the rates of Medicare payments to dialysis service providers.
- Ford rose 29 cents, or 1.8 percent, to $16.03 and General Motors rose 86 cents, or 2.5 percent, to $34.86. Ford reported that its vehicle sales jumped 13 percent last month compared with a year ago. GM reports sales later in the morning.

LCD-equipped 'smart recycle bins' showing up on London streets @ DVICE:
The gadget: bomb-proof recycle bins with dual-screen LCDs.
The info on the screens: Stuff only business folk would enjoy, like London stock exchange numbers and content from The Economist.
The total cost to install: About $47,000 for 25 smart bins.
The future: London wants to install 75 more of these high-tech trash cans by before the 2012 London Olympics..
The Daily Mail has more… I suppose there are sensors in there that are doing things like detecting pollution, harmful substances, etc, etc ?

Is Obama's budget a gambit for an overhaul of tax code?
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama on Wednesday revived a list of his favorite ideas for raising $580 billion in new U.S. tax revenues over 10 years from the wealthy that, while unpopular in Congress, could prove an opening gambit for a longer term tax overhaul.
While certain to not move forward en masse, some elements of the 2014 budget blueprint, including proposals to stop big corporations from skirting tax on foreign income, could gain traction as lawmakers consider a revamp of the tax code and face a deadline on the government's debt limit this summer.
"These are all opening bids in any potential grand bargain, so from that perspective they are important," said Chris Krueger, an analyst at Guggenheim Partners.
Obama's budget does not seek to raise individual tax rates as he has proposed in prior budgets, according to a White House document. For years, he sought to raise rates on household income above $250,000.
The bid revives Obama's offer last year to Republican House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner during the negotiations to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff of looming tax hikes and spending cuts.
Obama's budget proposal officially puts forward the idea of a new "Buffett tax," named for investor Warren Buffett, that phases in a minimum 30 percent tax rate on household income above $1 million.
The White House revived a long-running proposal to cap itemized deductions and exemptions among wealthier taxpayers - starting at household income of roughly $250,000.
The cap would apply to the same list of deductions proposed in years past, officials said. That includes the charitable tax break and the exemption for municipal bond interest.
The fiscal cliff deal raised rates for households earning more than $450,000 a year, from 35 percent to 39.6 percent.
Also in the budget is an end to the tax break for "carried interest" profits earned by fund managers like those who run private equity and other investment firms, officials said.
New tax ideas, which officials previewed last week, include boosting taxes on cigarettes and a new $3 million limit on tax-deferred individual retirement accounts.
Prominently featured in the budget are proposals to raise hundreds of billions of dollars from U.S. multinational corporations that avert tax on income held overseas. Obama seeks to raise about $157 billion over a decade with these measures, up about $10 billion from last year's budget.
Obama also sought more revenue than last year from curbing energy tax breaks, and proposed ending a tax advantage for corporate jets.
Michael Mundaca, Obama's top tax official in the Treasury Department during his first term, said a reprise of earlier proposals is not surprising.
"It doesn't mean the administration is not open to a deal," Mundaca, co-director of national tax at Ernst & Young, said before the budget came out. "It is just that they may not be going to negotiate through the budget."
The cuts to corporate breaks are counterbalanced by White House proposals to double a tax credit for small start-up companies and extend a popular business research and development tax credit. He also wants to expand a child care tax credit used by less wealthy individuals.
The president has backed cutting the top U.S. corporate tax rate to 28 percent from 35 percent, now the highest in the industrialized world.
Obama has said that he supports a full-scale revamp of the entire tax code, both individual and corporate, and a White House summary called the budget proposals a "down payment."
Top tax-writers in Congress also back a tax rewrite, but the process is fraught with disagreement over how to streamline the code and whether to raise new revenue in the process.

Blue Jays, Padres show fight to pull off turnarounds
In case you missed it -- and it happened so quickly, there's a chance many did -- the Padres and Blue Jays have seemingly come out of nowhere and established themselves as contenders.
Left for dead by many, they have battled back from 10 games under to surpass the .500 mark and put themselves in a position to be a factor for the remainder of the season.
The Padres -- once 10 games below -- and the Blue Jays -- once 11 games below -- each sit a game above .500 and in the thick of the two tightest division races in baseball. The Royals overcame a similar sub-par start to reach the .500 mark, but they regressed a bit with their recent four-game losing streak.
Historically, however, making the playoffs is an immense challenge for teams who put themselves in such an early hole. Obviously, the gold standard for these types of comebacks is the 2003 Marlins. They sat 19-29 on May 22 but played .640 baseball the remainder of the season and went on to beat the Yankees in six games to win their second World Series.
The 1914 Boston Braves hold the all-time record among World Series champs, having once sat 15 games below .500. More recently, however, coming back from 10 games below and earning even a playoff berth has been next to impossible.
In the past 10 seasons, only the '09 Rockies, the '05 Astros and those Marlins have done so. Three other clubs -- the '12 A's and the '07 Rockies and Cubs -- came back from nine games under.
So what exactly did all those clubs have in common? Well, they all came back from their poor starts relatively quickly. All were above .500 by the All-Star break, just as the Padres and Blue Jays are now.
For clubs that started as poorly as the Padres -- who were once 5-15 -- a return to .500 is no small feat. Before a team can begin to talk about making a run at a division crown or a Wild Card berth, it must first get out of the red.
"After the hole we dug, I think it's a big deal," said Padres reliever Joe Thatcher after the Friars did so on June 15. "We've played good baseball for 50 games. That's a long enough sample size to know it's not a fluke. We're beating good teams."
Only one club in the past 10 years has been at least eight games under .500 in July and went on to earn a playoff berth -- the 2008 Dodgers, who were eight below on July 26 before reeling off 11 straight and finding themselves one-half game back in the National League West.
In fact, many of the aforementioned comebacks began with significant winning streaks by the clubs just as they reached their lowest point. The '09 Rockies fell 12 games below .500 on June 3, before rattling off 11 straight and 17 of 18. Just as the '06 Twins hit eight under on June 7, they followed by going 21-2.
Of course, that bodes well for Toronto, which just had its franchise record-tying 11-game run snapped by the Rays on Monday night.
"I've been waiting for this since the season started," Blue Jays first baseman Edwin Encarnacion said Sunday, discussing the streak and the club's return above .500.
"I believe in this team, so I knew things had to change, things had to turn around for us. This is what's happening for us, and we're going to enjoy the moment. I'm not surprised by this, I know this team is good and I know we can do it."
The most peculiar recent revival may be the '05 Astros, who matched the Boston Braves' record by overcoming a start that saw them drop 15 games below. They never won more than seven consecutive games and didn't have any specific stretch where they caught fire. They simply played baseball at a .635 clip, and that was enough to reach the playoffs and eventually the World Series, before they were swept by the White Sox.
Those Astros and the '03 Marlins are the only two clubs to overcome such deficits and reach the World Series in the past 10 seasons. Sure, teams like the '11 Cardinals and the '08 Phillies get credit for coming from behind to win the pennant -- and eventually the World Series -- and deservedly so. But they were playing solid baseball record-wise all year long, and simply weren't ahead in the playoff picture.
It's far tougher, historically, for a team to come back once it has fallen double-digit games below .500. That's partially because teams that are 10 games under typically don't have playoff talent, and it's statistically very difficult to do so.
Just ask the '03 Marlins, '05 Astros and '09 Rockies -- a group the 2013 Blue Jays and Padres would be more than happy to join.

Even to 'Core' pals, Jeter worth celebrating
Former teammates detail traits that separate Yanks captain from the pack
NEW YORK -- There they were, together again at Yankee Stadium, the Core Four, smiling and relaxed, countless memories flooding hearts and minds. Their bond is unbreakable.
"Those guys are like brothers to me," Derek Jeter said.
On that, there's no argument. There simply were too many years together, too many battles fought on the field, too much respect won.
"All the memories, all the stuff we've been through," Andy Pettitte said.
This was the perfect touch in a season likely to have dozens of them. For Jeter's final home opener, a 4-2 win over the Orioles on Monday afternoon, the Yankees brought back three men -- Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada and Pettitte -- who'll be forever linked with him in the hearts and minds of fans.
To Yankee fans, they'll be forever young, helping the Yankees became a dominant team again, with five World Series titles between 1996 and 2009. And they were more than that.
Thanks, in part, to them, the Yankees were in contention virtually every year, making the playoffs 17 times in the last 19 seasons. To play at such a high level for so long left an indelible impression throughout baseball.
They were respected, not just because they played at a high level and competed relentlessly, but for how they did it. No matter how fans in other cities wanted to, it was difficult to hate these Yankees.
Posada, Pettitte and Rivera, all of them in street clothes for this home opener, took part in a pregame ceremony with Jeter. Pettitte and Rivera threw the ceremonial first pitches to Jeter and Posada, respectively.
"I asked Derek who he wanted to catch," Posada said. "I said, 'Mo's throwing sinkers and cutters.' He said, 'I'll catch Andy.'"
Jeter said he intends to embrace every moment of his 20th and final season but that his first priority will always be preparing to play.
"My job is to get ready to play every day," Jeter said. "That's what comes first. I know I said I'm going to try to enjoy it. I'm going to try to enjoy each day, have fun. At the same time, there's a balancing, and the No. 1 priority is to get ready to play."
Pettitte said the thing Jeter will look back at is how quickly it all went. Pettitte knows because he began last season guessing it would be his final season. Before he knew it, it was over.
"You know this is going to be the last time you're in uniform on Opening Day," Pettitte said. "As much as you want to play the game, in the back of his mind, he knows this is it. Just soak it up, embrace it. He's going to blink, and the season's going to be over. It just goes by so fast."
Rivera, Posada and Pettitte were asked about the impact Jeter had on them. All of them said it was the way he did things, the idea that the bottom line was always the thing that mattered most.
"He didn't say much," Rivera said. "He said a lot on the field without speaking. How he runs from home to first on a ground ball to the pitcher -- he runs 100 percent. That's how you lead. Yeah, we all did what we were supposed to do, played hard to win championships. We all pushed. It was how he pushed himself to win."
Posada added: "He's tough. He's very smart. When he was hurt or not 100 percent, he was still out there. I feel he was a leader by example. He goes out there every day, no excuses. He hates excuses. He demands the best out of himself, plays the game the right way. I've really got to thank him for the way he was with me."
The group was asked how much time would be spent together in the years ahead, and that was a difficult question to answer. They'll all likely be back at Spring Training and at Yankee Stadium for special events.
But all of those years when they saw more of one another for nine months than they saw of their families, those days almost certainly are over.
"We'll definitely be around," Rivera said, meaning the Yankees and Yankee Stadium.
"We're going to force ourselves on them," Pettitte added quickly.

Calif. great white sharks get protections for now
The most feared predator in the ocean received new protections today when a California commission decided the great white shark should be studied as a potential endangered species.
The Fish and Game Commission unanimously voted to advance the candidacy of the shark, which means during a one-year study review it will receive the same protections it would if it were listed as endangered.
Great white sharks are internationally protected and already can't be targeted for catch. During the review, the sharks will receive even more safeguards, and the immediate effect will be a ban on incidental takes by net fishermen, who opposed the review.
Scientists estimate the number of California subspecies at between 220 and 350.
