A whole slew of things going on in the Brazos Valley -- and after multiple days of scattered heavy rain across the area, lots of folks are asking if we'll get more of it this weekend.
The answer to that is...maybe.
Pretty vague, huh? Well, lets take it step by step and break it down for you.
Keep an Umbrella...Just in Case
The drought is officially over, but we'll need too keep the rain coming in order to do everything we can to make sure we don't slip back into it during our typical hot & dry summer months. That being said, for some of us -- especially in Burleson County -- the multiple inches of rain these past couple of days have prompted the National Weather Service to issue brief Flash Flood Warnings as storms roll through. The ground is saturated and could use some time to dry out...which it should get.
However, there will be a slight chance of isolated showers and thunderstorms to pop up, mainly in the afternoon with the onset of daytime heat. Should any thunderstorm really get going, it could become strong enough to drop some pretty heavy rain, and it won't be moving very quickly, so that could once again cause some concern. That scenario will be the exception rather than the rule -- but we'll continue to monitor and keep you up to date as needed.
Warming Things Up
February 23rd of this year we hit a daytime high of 88° -- the warmest so far this year.
And it looks like we'll have a good chance of tying that mark on Saturday afternoon. With more sunshine, a warm, southerly breeze and a weak ridge in the northern tier of the jet stream, temperatures will have the chance to turn out pretty warm for the first half of the weekend. To the side is a look at projected highs across Texas
The good news is that more cloud cover and an approaching upper-level storm system will help to lower those highs back into the low-to-mid 80s for Sunday and Monday.
Cold Front Ahead
Two magic words after a forecasted high of 88°...cold front. That upper-level system we just chatted about above will move a decent Pacific cold front into the Brazos Valley late Monday / early Tuesday. That will bring on a chance of evening & overnight storms followed by less humid, cooler and sunnier weather. Next week looks like a beauty with lows falling into the 50s and highs only reaching the 70s!

The European Charter for Sustainable Tourism in Protected Areas is a practical management tool for ensuring that tourism contributes to a balanced economic, social and environmental development of protected areas in Europe. The Charter is a voluntary agreement and aims to encourage good practice by recognising protected areas, which are meeting agreed requirements for the sustainable development and management of tourism.
The Charter and its methodology were developed by a group representing protected areas, the tourism industry and their partners, led by the Federation of Regional Nature Parks in France under the umbrella of the EUROPARC Federation.
The Charter and the Charter Network is managed by the EUROPARC Federation, a pan-European and non-governmental umbrella organisation of protected areas in Europe.

- Learning from each other
The network of Charter parks offers the possibility to learn from good practice experiences regarding the sustainable management of tourism in protected areas. Read more about EUROPARC Consulting organising a study visit for protected areas of the Dinaric Arc region to Charter parks in France.
Sustainable tourism very often plays an important role for the economic development of a protected area region. Our Charter park Cotswolds AONB (UK) published just now their new management plan that stresses the importance of sustainable tourism. Of interest is also their study on the economic value of the protected area for the region, published earlier this year.

European Justice (Vengeance?): First Microsoft, now Google in the crosshairs of EU regulators
February 25, 2010 34 Email article | Print articleThe Americas and Europe have had their disagreements in the past; apparently, in this case, the "past" does not necessarily mean history, because recent events seem to foretell that the friction is alive and well! The EU is well known for its seeming hatred dislike of Microsoft (or Microsoft's business practices, whichever you prefer). First in 2004 they demanded that Microsoft release a version of Windows XP for Europe without Windows Media Player. Microsoft compiled and created Windows XP N. Then in 2009 the EU decided that shipping Windows 7 with Internet Explorer was also illegal. At first Microsoft said they would give Windows 7 the XP treatment and release a version of Windows 7 without Internet Explorer, called Windows 7 E. Now no one can say Europeans don't learn from their mistakes, because after the Windows XP N fiasco (no one bought it), Windows 7 E did not seem so appealing. So instead Microsoft is releasing an update to Windows 7 that presents the user with a randomly ordered list of other browses for users to install, including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Opera or to keep Internet Explorer. However, this article is not about taking sides and deciding if EU was/is right on regulating Microsoft or not; I just wanted to give you a brief history on the EU-Microsoft relationship and, at the same time, use it as a segway for the topic at hand: A European target on Google's back.
In late 2006, students at a school in Turin, Italy uploaded a video to Google Video of them bullying an autistic schoolmate. As soon as Google was notified, they took down the video and helped Italian authorities track down the offenders. Most would agree Google reacted well in the situation and did right by taking down the video ASAP and helping Italian authorities; so the case closed, right? Wrong. A public prosecutor in Milan decided to indict four Google employees of criminal defamation and a failure to comply with the Italian privacy code over this incident. On February 24, a judge in Milan today convicted 3 of the 4 employees and found them guilty of failing to comply with Italian privacy code. All 4 were found not guilty of criminal defamation. Drama doesn't end there, though.
On the same day as the conviction, Google announced on its Google Public Policy Blog that 3 European companies, Foundem, ejustice.fr, and Ciao! from Bing, levied complaints against Google to the EU. According to Google, the three companies are charging Google with demoting their websites in search results because they are vertical search engines. Neither the EU nor any of companies from Europe have confirmed this as of now, but one would hardly think Google would publicly make an announcement if it held no little truth to it.
It seems Europe has had its fun with Microsoft and is now moving on to Google. Is it that Europe hate American tech powerhouses, or Europe is just more strict about "fair competition" (whatever that term may imply – keep in mind much of Europe is less capitalistic in terms of markets than the USA)? In that regard, it should also be mentioned that some of the companies that supposedly levied complaints against Google (remember the complaints have not been confirmed by the EU yet) have ties to Microsoft so to say Europe has an agenda against American companies would a tiny, itty-bitty stretch of the truth.
Feel free to share your thoughts on the matter in the comments below.
(Please keep in this mind this article is not pro/anti Europe, America, Google, Microsoft, etc. The humor in the article is just that – humor. We do no intend to take sides; rather we are just reporting the juicy details.)

Europe should target Apple next, I don't want to be forced to use safari when ever… if I ever buy a mac computer
32I don't get it… how can Google still be sued or went to court or something when they "did the right thing" by taking the video off and telling the italian authorities about it?
The world now a days is so screwed up…

Traverse City Light and Power is cancelling its "Green Rate" charge.
The additional charge was on a volunteer basis to help defray the cost of building and operating the utility's wind turbine located on M-72.
TCLP was the first utility in the country to come up with the "Green Rate" concept and program.
Cancelling the charge will impact 73 residents and 10 commercial customers.
Officials say a separate charge is no longer needed since the utility's plan now calls for generating 30 percent of power through renewable resources by 2020.
This means essentially every costumers rates support renewable energy.

'Wave Goodbye' to Nine Inch Nails
Nine Inch Nails frontman/creator Trent Reznor is saying that the band will be done after a few small club dates, including Wednesday evening's performance at the Hollywood Palladium. Is that the truth? Who knows, but it doesn't much matter at this point, because the most popular industrial group ever, largely responsible for bringing the genre to a mass audience, has done plenty enough.

How can we motivate and engage people?
Motivation is often short-lived. Someone/thing picks you up and carries you for a period of time. It's almost a contract in the quick, impermanent fix. And our relationship to this person or thing dictates the longevity and impact.
Take customer service in a restaurant. If you want your staff to experience true service and be motivated to deliver it, they need to have the experience of being served. And if you want your staff to know what this means to your customers then put them on a plane to Starbucks, Madison, New York and have them work behind the counter for a day. They will either leave the business or find the essence of service. And as a business owner, you know you need commitment either way – you know this is the crux of your ability to be successful.
Restaurants aside, love this social experiment in engagement from Thefuntheory•com – excites the imagination, engages on another level, has physicality and the branding is reasonably subtle! What do you think?

I download the client, click to open and nothing happens... When I go to containing folder and open it from the downloads folder, explorer.exe crashes. It's only happening with HoN.
Some things to consider:
- Run HoN as an admin as you may not have enough privileges.
- Your antivirus may be blocking the install. Disable it and try again.
- Check your task manager to see if you have the installer running. If it is when you aren't, end the process and try again.
- Your installer may have corrupted. Download a new one and try again.
Yes I turned off my AVG and tried again before hand... After a while it gives me a NSIS error... saying the downloaded content was incomplete. There is the possibility that I have a virus that is corrupting data but why only HoN client? I've tried redownloading over and over again but the same thing happens. The actual installer never comes up in processes. After I reboot windows.exe a message comes up asking to allow HoN_client and i hit allow and it comes up with the NSIS error. Just seems weird.
NSIS error means that your copy of the HoN installer is corrupted or incomplete. Basically, you'll need to redownload the client and install from that one.
If the downloading again doesn't work:
- update your antivirus and run a scan
- check that your download is not timing out before completion
- download from a different browser or clear all internet cache/cookie
I can confirm there is an issue with the link on the website.
You can download the old version above and update to current version as a temporary solution.

Unwelcome 'devil birds' spreading across U.S.
President Obama urged a divided Senate Monday to quickly confirm two new members of his national security team, though Republicans might not cooperate when it comes to Defense Secretary nominee Chuck Hagel.
"Chuck Hagel is the leader our troops deserve," Obama said in an East Room ceremony, praising him for his service in Vietnam, his business career, and his two terms as senator -- a Republican senator -- from Nebraska.
Current Senate Republicans, however, have questioned their former colleague's commitment to Israel's security and his attitude towards Iran and its nuclear program.
Obama also announced the nomination of White House counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan to be the new director of the CIA.
Noting that "the work of protecting our nation is never done," Obama said his second term security team faces challenges that range from wrapping up the war in Afghanistan to cyber security.
In pointedly urging the Senate for quick confirmations, Obama said: "When it comes to national security, we don't like to leave a lot of gaps."
Hagel is slated replace retiring Pentagon chief Leon Panetta, who also led the CIA earlier in Obama's term. Brennan, meanwhile, would replace David Petraeus, who resigned from the CIA in November after admitting an extramarital affair.
Hagel did not address the Republican criticism during brief remarks at the White House, telling Obama he would always provide "honest and informed" counsel as defense secretary.
Some Senate Republicans said that, during his political career, Hagel has been too critical of Israel and too soft on Iran and its nuclear ambitions. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Tex., said, "the worst possible message we could send to our friend Israel and the rest of our allies in the Middle East is Chuck Hagel."
Obama and other Democrats praised Hagel's record, including two Purple Hearts for service in Vietnam and a successful business career before his 1996 Senate election.
"Chuck Hagel's candor, judgment, and expertise will serve him well as our next secretary of defense," said Sen. Jack Reed, D-Ill., a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee that will hold confirmation hearings.
As for Brennan, Obama praised his adviser's "keen understanding of a dynamic world," and noted that he created the National Counter-terrorism Center. He also praised Brennan's work ethic, saying "I'm not sure he's slept in four years."
Obama considered him for the CIA after the 2008 election. Brennan withdrew after critics noted that he worked for the CIA at a time that it used enhanced interrogation techniques against terrorist suspects; Brennan said he opposed those techniques, including water boarding.
As a top adviser to Obama, Brennan has also been involved in the administration's increased used of unmanned drones for surveillance and for attacks on suspected terrorists.
Thanking Obama for his nomination, Brennan said he would push to get the CIA "the tools it needs to keep our nation safe." He also pledged to be bipartisan, saying he was neither a Republican nor a Democrat.
Brennan's CIA nomination is not without its critics.

Murphy, director of the Washington Legislative Office for the American Civil Liberties Union, said: "The Senate should not move forward with his nomination until all senators can assess the role of the CIA -- and any role by Brennan himself -- in torture, abuse, secret prisons, and extraordinary rendition during his past tenure at the CIA."
The Hagel and Brennan nominations are Obama'a latest moves as he re-tools his administration ahead of a second term that starts Jan. 20.
Late last month, Obama nominated Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., to be Secretary of State.
The president is also looking to replace Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Environmental Protection Agency administration Lisa Jackson, both of whom are planning to leave this month.
The Hagel nomination, for now at least, is drawing more attention, particularly from supporters of Israel.
Abraham H. Foxman, national director the Anti-Defamation League, said he respects "the president's prerogative" to nominate who he wants, but he hopes the confirmation hearings will give Hagel a chance to "address concerns about his positions."
Said Foxman: "I particularly hope Senator Hagel will clarify and explain his comments about the "Jewish Lobby" that were hurtful to many in the Jewish Community."
Jeremy Ben-Ami, president of an organization called J Street, said Hagel understands "the appropriate uses and limitations" of U.S. power, and been a staunch supporter of Israel's security.
Praising Obama for following through on the nomination in face of Republican criticism, Ben-Ami said "this sets an important precedent. Hopefully, qualified candidates will no longer be prevented from serving the nation by 'Swift Boat'-style attacks that distort their records and caricature their beliefs."

WAC Inter-Congress on Archaeological Theory in South America
The WAC Inter-Congress on Archaeological Theory in South America will be held in San Fernando del Valle de Catamarca, Argentina, from July 3rd to 7th, 2007. This is the Fourth International Meeting on Archaeological Theory in South America. The Meeting is organized by the Doctorate in Human Sciences of the Faculty of Humanities and the School of Archaeology of the National University at Catamarca, and counts as one of the World Archaeological Congress' activities in the region. After the meetings at Vitoria (Brasil, 1998), Olavarria (Argentina, 2000) and Bogota (Colombia, 2002), and because we know that silence won't help us understand Archaeology in our region, we want to regain the impulse. And with that aim is that we want to meet those who work within Archaeology and those who are in some way interested in Archaeology, pertaining themselves to researched societies, because of their activities or their interests. Extending the dialogue is the one of the aims of the meeting.
Kyosei-no-koukogaku: Coexistence in the Past - Dialogues in the Present
12 - 15 January 2006Osaka, Japan
Wac Osaka site
The Inter-Congress theme, Kyosei-no-koukogaku: Coexisting in the Past and Present, will provide a forum for examining a range of issues relating to the study and practices of archaeology in the past and present. There will be three main areas of focus:

Paper: The excavations at Tell Tacannek reconsidered
Siegfried Kreuzer & Friedrich Schipper
Vienna, Austria
Tell Tacannek is situated on a northern foothill of the Samarian hill country and on the fringe of the fertile Jezreel valley. Tacanach drew its historical importance and its cultural characteristics from being located at the crossing of the east-west-road running from the Mediterranean coast to the Jordan and east-Jordanian area and a branch of the important and famous via maris, that ultimately connects Egypt with Syria and Mesopotamia. The archaeology of the site shows that is has been occupied as early as from about the 28th into the 5th century BCE.
The excavations at Tell Tacannek by Ernst Sellin, then in Vienna, Austria, in the years 1902 to 1904 were a pioneering effort in the archaeology of Palestine. They were one of the first excavations in Palestine, then under Ottoman rule, and the first one in the north. Besides the usual material found in an excavation some very special objects were found, i.e. 12 (resp. 14) tablets with cuneiform script – up to the present the only, though small cuneiform archive from Palestine – and two cultic stands, one of which could be reconstructed and built up again. Sellin published his results very quickly in two parts in 1904 and 1906.
In the American excavations in 1963, 1966, and 1968, headed by Paul W. Lapp, the results of the Sellin excavations were examined, but also many new discoveries were made and another cult stand and two more cuneiform tablets were found. Several preliminary excavation reports were published, and parts of the planned final report. Further analysis of the pottery has still to be done; the discussion of the cuneiform texts from Tell Tacannek is in progress.
In 2006, the University of Vienna initiated a renewed study on excavations at Tell Tacannek and the cuneiform tablets. Along with a reprint of Sellin's publications, the studies are meanwhile published in a jubilee volume that allows perspectives for future research which will be presented here.

Funny thing is, I weighed myself this morning for the first time since I began. I was up 1 lb. I'm not worried as much as I am confused. Did CKD about 4 years ago with great success, and in this same 12 day break in, I lost in the neighborhood of 10lbs. Anyone shed any light on this?

As I commented in The One Thread, this is very much good for spreading information about the game to more people. A lot of comments on that article suggest that this is the first time some people have even heard of GW2.

I hope you haven't forgotten my role in this little story. I'm the leading man. You know what they say about the leading man? He never dies.
Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!
What is this sorcery. That only just came up in my twitter dropbox.
It makes me laugh. I always used to come on MMO champion whenever I heard a roumer (I have no idea how to spell that word) about WoW, and it always used to be there, datamined like 0.6 seconds after it had been made available to the dataminers. Always very quick. Now that I've come on the forums many years later, the community is just as damn fast.
Surprised at 'never heard of it' though.

Shame, some other awesome games were deserving of the title. However only one winner there can be.
FIFA 13, World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria, World of Warplanes and Assassin's Creed III all won the silver award for the huge amount of support they received.

It seems ppl have the energy to whine for a game , for not beeing exactly like their <<main>> game , while it dont have a SUB , and they dont have the courage to whine at their Game Master for slacking and producing few PvE content ...
limited appeal.
Console gamers have no real buy in to the IP, and its just another shooter.
PC gamers who have the IP interest in EvE cant get it on PC.
Game looks ok, but I'm not going to get a console so I dont really care about it, seams to be a fairly standard reaction from a lot of Eve Players.
I'm quite supprised tbh. I knew gw2 was gaining alot of populairity/hype but didn't expect it to win. Anet got there handsfull it seems!
Gongrats to them, they really deserved to win it. :3
Well done, Arenanet!
I asked my magic 8-ball if we would experience server crashes on the 28th due to ArenaNet being completely blindsided by the number of people buying the game, the answer? It is decidedly so

Online Elementary Education Bachelor's Degree
Elementary school teachers may not rake in the dough - the median salary for educators at this level hovers around $51,000, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics - but those that work in the field readily admit they don't do it for the money.
In fact, elementary education ranks among the top 10 majors that change the world, according to a survey by PayScale, an online salary database, and 75 percent of graduates with a bachelor's in elementary education say their job makes the world a better place.
Course Work
Available certifications | |||||||||
Special education | |||||||||
English as a second language | |||||||||
Gifted and talented education |
Students pursuing an online bachelor's degree in elementary education will learn how to engage and motivate students, assess student achievement and solve problems in the classroom. The core curriculum for this program often includes courses such as instructional strategies, educational psychology, and elementary-level math, reading and science.
An online elementary education degree can't be earned entirely via the Web. Students are required to complete a student teaching component, where they spend several weeks working in an actual classroom under the supervision of an experienced teacher. Graduates must also earn their teaching license, with requirements for certification varying by state.
Job Outlook
Despite budget cuts and school closures in some districts, the career outlook for graduates with a bachelor's degree in elementary education is strong. The elementary school sector is expected to add nearly 250,000 new teaching positions by 2020, according to BLS data, with the greatest demand in urban and rural school districts. Teachers with expertise in special education and English as a second language are in short supply, so students can boost their job prospects by earning a certificate in one of those specialties, the BLS notes.

Long Distance Sewing...
Sounds like an Olympic sport,doesn't it? But actually it was a LOT easier than that, and what fun we've had.
You know I've only been in NC for a year. And roots are hard to develop, mostly because I find it hard to get involved with much due to time commitments. I only make half my guild meetings here, if that, can't volunteer for a church committee because I am not here enough to fulfill that obligation either. Can't sing in the choir anymore, I miss more than half the rehearsals, not to mention several of the Sundays...But to everything there is an "on the other hand"....and I love where I am in my life right now.
Lucy and I have done this long distance sewing thing before, and it is so fun...almost like we are in the same room. She set her laptop on the table near her featherweight, I put my laptop on the desk next to my machine, cameras on, microphones working...and we can talk and chat and sew at the same time! From across the world!
I am just in awe of this technology. I mean....stop...and think about it. I was sitting here in North Carolina, listening to her clock chime, hearing someone knocking on her front door, listening to her pick up the telephone for a conversation, seeing her sew on her featherweight while we visited. I could look out her window and see the houses across the street. People riding by on bicycles, or walking their dogs. And she could see me.
It was just wonderful fun. Didn't last long...she got called away to fix dinner, and I lunch :c) (we are 6 hours apart time zone wise) but having that precious time with a friend across the miles was balm to my soul!
20 comments:
I know exactly what you mean. Technology is wonderful. I live in Arkansas and my 6 & 8 year old grandchildren are in Wisconsin, every so often we set up the computers, microphones and camera's and get on windows messenger and play tic tac toe or checkers and talk and laugh with each other too. I get to hear the dog bark and hear my daughter yelling in the background that it is time to get off the computer and tell grandma good bye because they have to get school homework done :) just like I am there in the same room with them :)
http://karensquilting.com/blog/Oh, it is so hard to have to be away from friends. My best friend is halfway across the country, and I have others scattered, too. I sympathize with you, too, about not being able to make commitments because of work travel. I don't travel, but I do work every other weekend, and it just makes it hard to do things on normal people time. everything seems to be set up for people with set schedules, five days a week, not for people who get every third Thursday off, every other sat/sun and so on....please remember that your wonderful website and inspiring blog have earned you so many "virtual" friends!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's certainly special, isn't it? When Keryn lived three thousand miles away we talked with skype, and had headsets so we could sew at the same time. So glad those days are over, it's great to have my quilting buddy in the same town.
I hope you are enjoying the Janome, I used to do customer quilts on mine before the Gammill came along. I did one that measured 108" square, and the machine handled it fine. When I'm doing bindings the thread cutter is great as you get to the corners; I like to push that little button without having to reach for the snips.We use "Logitech quick cam" to video with the kids. It is easy to hook up and works with IM on AIM.
My granddaughter is only 6 months old and she recognizes our voices and looks right into the camera She smiles, laughs and goo gahs with us.
Its fantastic. Not as good as holding her but pretty darn good.
My son also has this cool little video camera called "Flip" he send us little videos of her doing the most adorable things!
I love this new technology....getting pictures, videos and video visiting....remember taking pictures, printing them and then sending those off to grandma?
Life is good :0)
I know it's a hassle, but I've had to enable the word verification thing so that EVERYONE is eligible for blog giveaways. It's the only way to keep the spammers, scammers and other baddies at bay!

Frank Corrado is moving on up to Vancouver
We've learned this AM via a Canucks.com press release that the Vancouver Canucks announced today that they recalled defenceman Frank Corrado from their AHL farm team the Chicago Wolves.
The top defensive prospect left on the club's farm team is moving up to the big leagues. With Kevin Connauton now with the Stars Corrado is the future on the blue line for Vancouver. From the fifth round to the NHL in less than two years is impressive.
The Mike Gillis press release goes on to say "Corrado, 20, recorded two assists in three games with the Wolves this season. Prior to joining the Wolves, the Toronto, ON, native compiled 45 points (7-38-45) in 69 OHL games in 2012.13 with the Sudbury Wolves and Kitchener Rangers. His 27 points (6-21-27) in 41 games with Sudbury led all Wolves defencemen in scoring at seasons end. He finished third on the Rangers among defenceman with 18 points (1-17-18) in 28 games played.
In his professional hockey debut with the Chicago Wolves in 2011.12, he collected an assist in four regular season games and dressed in two Wolves playoff games.
The 62, 190-pound defenceman was originally selected by Vancouver 150th overall in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.

THE MAROON JANUARY 21, 2005 VOL. 83, NO. 14 LOYOLA UNIVERSITY NEW ORLEANS Senate votes on property rights referendum By Sarah Castagnetta Contributing writer After almost three years of disagreement, the University Senate unanimously approved Loyola's first Intellectual Property Rights Policy at its first meeting of the semester. Senate Supervisor Mary Blue, associate professor of the communications department, vocally endorsed the amended policy. "I know I told all of you A and S not to vote for it [IPR policy] before but now you can," said Blue, referring to the Senate's past rejections of the policy, as well as to the upcoming meeting of the College of Arts and Sciences to approve or reject the policy. "It's okay now." Unhappy with the initial versions of the IPR, which denied faculty any rights. Blue sent a copy of the policy to the American Association of University Professors in April of 2003 for suggestions to improve the policy. "In the original, if I made a syllabus, Loyola owned it. If I created an assignment for my class. Loyola owned it," Blue said. "But that's not what copyright case law says." According to Blue, the copyright law says directed works are the property of the director of the work. The resulting article is the property of the newspaper, not the reporter. However, there is an exemption under copyright law that the university missed — the Teacher's Exemption. "It's my job to share my work with my students, but it's not my job to share it with other people, and that's the point." Blue said. Besides the policy's denial of faculty rights, the AAUP pointed out two other major problems. First, the policy placed the burden of proof of ownership on the faculty member in disputes with the university. Second, university expenses were repaid prior to the working faculty member's expenses. It was only after these changes were affected that the AAUP would endorse the policy. "They [AAUP] said we have something to really be proud of, if we pass this policy," Blue said. Under the IPR, students, faculty and staff may obtain a copyright or a patent on any intellectual property that comes from applied research and artistic production. Study guides, articles, films and even bibliographies are protected by the IPR. In addition, the IPR protects: inventions, books, syllabuses, workbooks or manuals, instructional packages, tests, video or audio recordings, slides, transparencies, charts and other graphic materials, photographic (or other visual) materials, film strips, multi-media materials, three-dimensional materials, exhibits and computer software. The policy also provides for an Intellectual Property Policy and Rights Committee. The six-member committee will decide ownership of intellectual property, as well as arbitrate ownership claims between faculty members. The IPR will not be official until its approval by the College of Arts and Sciences in an upcoming meeting, as well as its subsequent approval by the board in Feb. The Rev. Kevin Wildes, S.J., university president, also spoke at the Senate about his plans for the institutional advancement of Loyola. Wildes' top priority is a plan for the academic agenda. The plan will be strategic, moving Loyola forward as a national university and be integrated. which means the academic side of the university is supported on the financial, fundraising and facility sides. "Say we wanted to hire more PHOTO BY ANN HERMES The Rev. Kevin Wildes, S.J. addresses faculty members at the Senate faculty meeting in Multimedia Room I in the J. Edgar Monroe Library last Monday. Wildes spoke on the Intellectual Property Rights Policy and fundraising. Scholarship recipient leaves Loyola By Gene Gulliot Chief copy editor MARCHING FOR MLK Freshman scholarship athlete Rebekah Bankston has left the women's basketball team and the university. Bankston's fiance Donald Greene, 23, needed surgery Dec. 27 to repair his back after a 75-foot fall from a bridge left him with multiple breaks. Bankston could not be reached for comment, but a source told The Maroon that Bankston withdrew from Loyola to be at Greene's side in Houma, La. Greene was checking a flat tire on Christmas morning when a car skidding out of control from the iciness of the bridge knocked him over the side. Two people were killed in the accident. "It's a miracle he survived," Bankston told The Times-Picayune. "God saved him." With Bankston not in uniform, the Wolfpack is short one scholarship player from its first class of scholarships since 1972. It is unsure what will be done concerning the extra scholarship. Vice President of Academic Affairs James Eiseman and Athletic Director Michael Giorlando could not be reached for comment as of press time Wednesday night. Women's basketball coach Doßee Plaisance refused to comment on the situation. Nancy Dupont Faculty Senate president said that she has not heard a word about replacing the scholarship. She said that it does not matter to the faculty how they distribute the scholarship because the scholarship still exists. "We are far more interested with the policy than with the individual athlete," Dupont said. "Our interest would be in any change in the policy." Bankston played in seven games for the 'Pack and averaged three points a game. In the Huntingdon tournament in Montgomery, Ala., on Nov. 19 and 20, Bankston scored 10 points against Wesleyan College and Atlanta Christian.

Even before the final Star Wars prequel Revenge of the Sith was released in 2005, Christensen began moving on as an actor, taking on more meaty character roles, like real life journalist Stephen Glass in the thriller Shattered Glass, and a fictional stand-in for Bob Dyaln in 2006's Factory Girl. He would als make a name for himself in thrillers like Jumper, Vanishign Point, and Takers. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

Four survivors of a mysterious plague of darkness flee the shadows that seem to have consumed all of society in this thriller from Session 9 director Brad Anderson. Detroit has fallen ominously silent; the power to the city appears to have been cut off, and the streets are littered with the clothes of people whose bodies are nowhere to be found. Desperate and terrified, movie-theater projectionist Paul (John Leguizamo) seeks shelter with television news reporter Luke (Hayden Christensen), frightened physical therapist Rosemary (Thandie Newton), and trigger-happy 12-year-old James (Jacob Latimore) in an inner-city bar owned by James' mother, who has apparently vanished along with the rest of humanity. Momentarily safe thanks to a power generator that keeps the clutching shadows at bay, the group ponders how to stay alive as Rosemary fears what fate befell her missing infant son, and Luke conceives a plan to seek out his estranged wife in Chicago. When the lights start to flicker, the fight for their lives begins. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Following up his blockbuster action hit Mr. and Mrs. Smith, director Doug Liman turns to an entirely new genre -- sci-fi -- for this tale of an underground world of teleporters. Based on the novel by Steven Gould, Jumper concerns David (Hayden Christensen), a young man who quite literally wills himself away from his grim family life by teleporting to another place with the power of his mind. Years later, David is using his powers to raid bank vaults, seduce girls in London, lunch on the pyramids, and surf in Fiji. But he soon discovers that he is not the only one bestowed with this unique gift, and all is not well in the world of jumpers. There are people out there, such as Roland (Samuel L. Jackson), who view jumpers as a threat to all humankind, and have made it their mission in life to eliminate them. After jumping back to Michigan to get reacquainted with his long lost love, Millie (Rachel Bilson), David makes the acquaintance of experienced jumper Griffin (Jamie Bell). Informed by Griffin of a secret between jumpers and a shadowy group that seeks to destroy them, the pair soon finds themselves facing off against a legion of murderous opponents who won't stop fighting until every last jumper has been eliminated. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

The true story of one woman's brief and ultimately tragic flirtation with fame in the 1960s provides the basis for this biographical drama. In 1943, Edie Sedgwick (Sienna Miller) was born to a wealthy and socially prominent family, and she grew up with beauty and money, but also a history of mental illness; she was hospitalized with an eating disorder in her late teens, and by the time she was 21, two of her seven siblings had died before their time. In 1964, Edie moved to New York City, and quickly made a splash on the Manhattan social scene; she became friendly with the famous pop artist Andy Warhol (Guy Pearce), who was fascinated by her gamine loveliness and her quirky personality. Warhol wasted no time in casting her in one of his underground movies, and she quickly became a crucial part of his retinue of "superstars." Fashion icon Diana Vreeland (Illeana Douglas) was convinced Edie had the looks and charm to also become a successful model, and soon she was gracing the pages of Life, Vogue, and Glamour. But Edie's instability was hardly helped by her new fast-lane lifestyle, and when she met Billy Quinn (Hayden Christensen), a folk rock singer-songwriter often cited as "the voice of a generation," he persuaded her that Warhol and his associates were simply using her fame and beauty for their own gain, and she found herself torn between two powerful mentors, one of whom had become her lover as well. Factory Girl also co-stars Jimmy Fallon, Mena Suvari, and Tara Summers as regulars at the Warhol "Factory." The character of Musician was inspired in part by Bob Dylan, who was romantically involved with Edie Sedgwick for a brief time. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

George Lucas draws the Star Wars film series to a close with this dark sci-fi adventure which sets the stage for the events of the first film and brings the saga full circle. After a fierce battle in which Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) and Anakin (Hayden Christensen) join Republic forces to help free Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) from the evil Count Dooku (Christopher Lee) and his minions, Anakin is drawn into Palpatine's confidence. Palpatine has designs on expanding his rule, and with this in mind he plants seeds of doubt in Anakin's mind about the strength and wisdom of the Jedis. Anakin is already in a quandary about how to reveal to others the news of his secret marriage to Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman) now that she is pregnant, and visions which foretell her death in childbirth weigh heavy on his mind. As Anakin finds himself used by both the Jedis and the Republic for their own purposes -- particularly after Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson) expresses his distrust of the young Jedi -- he turns more and more to the Force for help, but begins to succumb to the temptations of its dark side. Many of the Star Wars series regulars returned for Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith, including Frank Oz as the voice of Yoda, Anthony Daniels as C-3PO, Kenny Baker as R2-D2, and Peter Mayhew as Chewbacca. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Before Jayson Blair made headlines for his plagiarized New York Times reporting, Stephen Glass defamed the weekly current events magazine The New Republic with a series of eye-catching, entertaining, and completely fabricated stories. Now Glass' trail of lies gets the big-screen treatment in writer/director Billy Ray's Shattered Glass, featuring Hayden Christensen in the title role. The film chronicles Glass' time at the magazine in the late '90s, when his colorful coverage of a hedonistic Young Republican convention, superstar web hackers, and the circus surrounding the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky scandal made him the toast of the publishing world, garnering attention from such national publications as George and Rolling Stone. Barely out of college, the eager Glass ingratiates himself with the office staff, including his mentor, managing editor Michael Kelly (Hank Azaria). But when Kelly is unceremoniously fired and replaced with editor Chuck Lane (Peter Sarsgaard), Glass' pieces come under a greater degree of scrutiny, until one in particular threatens to expose his tall tales to the rest of the world. Based in part on a Vanity Fair article by journalist Buzz Bissinger, Shattered Glass premiered at the Telluride and Toronto film festivals before its limited fall theatrical release. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

The second prequel to the original Star Wars trilogy takes place ten years after the events depicted in Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace. Now 20, young Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) is an apprentice to respected Jedi knight Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor). Unusually powerful in the Force, Anakin is also impatient, arrogant, and headstrong -- causing his mentor a great deal of concern. The pair are ordered to protect Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman), the former queen of the planet Naboo, now representing her world in the Galactic Senate. Someone is trying to assassinate her on the eve of a vote enabling Supreme Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) to build a military force that will safeguard against a growing separatist movement led by mysterious former Jedi Count Dooku (Christopher Lee). After another attempt on Padme's life, Obi-Wan and Anakin separate. The young Jedi and Padme fall in love as he escorts her first to the security of Naboo and then to his home world of Tatooine, where the fate of his mother leads him to commit an ominous atrocity. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan travels to the secretive planet Kamino and the asteroid-ringed world of Geonosis, following bounty hunter Jango Fett (Temuera Morrison) and his son, Boba (Daniel Logan), who are involved in an operation to create a massive army of clones. A vicious battle ensues between the clones and Jedi on one side and Dooku's droids on the other, but who is really pulling the strings in this galactic conflict? In late 2002, the movie was released in IMAX theaters as Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones: The IMAX Experience, with a pared-down running time of 120 minutes in order to meet the technical requirements of the large-screen format. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Trapped in a Purple Haze
Max Hanson (Jonathan Jackson), a popular high school student with considerable artistic and athletic talent, finds himself under pressure from everyone--especially his parents--to focus exclusively on art and to give up ice hockey. The only person who apparently harbors no judgmental attitudes towards Max is a teenage girl named Molly (Carly Pope), with whom he falls in love. Unfortunately, Molly is "into" wild parties and drugs--and before long, so is Max. As he sinks deeper and deeper into the morass of heroin addiction, Max seems to be beyond redemption . . . and far beyond the influence of his caring but domineering mother Sophie (JoBeth Williams). Posing a number of tough questions, but wisely offering no easy answers, the made-for-TV Trapped in a Purple Haze originally aired on April 17, 2000. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A dark comedy punctuated by moments of drama, The Virgin Suicides explores the emotional underpinnings of a family starting to come apart at the seams in 1970's Midwestern America. The Lisbons seem like an ordinary enough family; Father (James Woods) teaches math at a high school in Michigan, Mother (Kathleen Turner) has a strong religious faith, and they have five teenage daughters, ranging from 13-year-old Cecilia (Hannah Hall) to 17-year-old Therese (Leslie Hayman). However, the Lisbon family's sense of normalcy is shattered when Cecilia falls into a deep depression and attempts suicide. The family is shaken and Mother and Father seek the advice of psychiatrist Dr. Hornicker (Danny DeVito), who suggests the girls should be allowed to socialize more with boys. However, boys soon become a serious problem for Cecilia's sister Lux (Kirsten Dunst). Lux has attracted the eye of a high-school Romeo named Trip (Josh Hartnett), who assures Father of his good intentions. But Cecilia finally makes good on her decision to kill herself, throwing the Lisbons into a panic; and after attending a school dance, Trip seduces and then abandons Lux. The Lisbons pull their daughters out of school, as an emotionally frayed Mother keeps close watch over them. Meanwhile, Lux continues to attract the attentions of the local boys, and she responds with a series of clandestine sexual episodes with random partners as often as she can sneak out of the house. The debut feature from Sofia Coppola (whose father, Francis Ford Coppola, co-produced this film), The Virgin Suicides also features supporting performances from Scott Glenn and Giovanni Ribisi. The film was shown as part of the Directors Fortnight series as the 1999 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Hired to help locate a missing author, an insurance investigator discovers to his terror that the nightmarish events depicted in the writer's best-selling horror novels are coming true. Wishing to be both a horror film and a parody of the genre, John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness combines supernatural thrills with winking references. For instance, the vanished author, Sutter Cane (Jürgen Prochnow), is modeled on writers like Stephen King and Howard Phillips Lovecraft, from his great popularity to his obsession with small-town New England. Indeed, it is to one such hamlet that investigator John Trent (Sam Neill) and Cane's female editor (Julie Carmen) travel, discovering a town filled with terrifying scenes right out of Cane's books, from random axe murders to far worse. Have Cane's fans gone psychotic and begun imitating his writings, or are Cane's stories of an otherworldly evil invading the earth actually true? In the Mouth of Madness's mix of self-referential satire and real frights anticipates the later Scream (1996). ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

Powerful Conference
MCLA brought one of the largest delegations to the "Women as Global Leaders" conference earlier this month when students traveled to Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) over the spring break.
The conference, focused on women's emergent and current leadership roles across the globe, as well as the practice of educating students for and about leadership, drew participants from more than 85 countries.
According to Jessica Nestell '12 of Ulster, N.Y., "It was very powerful to go to a conference where every single presenter is female. As a first generation female college student, seeing so many accomplished women from around the world showed me what the future can hold for me."
Conference attendees included a number of well-known women, including actress Sigourney Weaver and the UK's Baroness Helena Kennedy of The Shaws.
"Listening to the speakers was really amazing," said Alexandra Nichipor '12 of Ayer, Mass. "We are truly in the midst of both a humanitarian and environmental crisis. The gap between the wealthy and the poor is growing; water, air and soil are becoming dangerously polluted; women are left to fend for their families as their husbands and fathers go off to distant cities to look for work.
"Damaging the environment also damages the lives of the most oppressed people, many of whom are women," she continued. "However, by virtue of the place they occupy in the social web of human relations, women are also well situated to halt environment degradation."
The experience changed Nestell's view of the world.
"Before traveling to the United Arab Emirates, I had a relatively closed-minded view of the Middle East created largely by what how the media portrays it," she explained. "Now I'm embarrassed to say that I ever believed that."
"I also learned how varied Muslim women's experience really is," Nichipor said. "Many people from the West immediately assume that Muslim women are all oppressed, but in the UAE, I meet Emirati women who were students, engineers and business leaders."
On a visit to the home of Sheika Sheika bint Mohammed Al Maktoum, daughter of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashed, the prime minister and vice president of the UAE, the students met members of the royal family, and toured their palace.
Nestell was particularly moved by an experience the group had at the Mosque when they visited Dubai.
"One of the volunteers was describing the way western cultures portrayed Islam as a religion that promotes blowing people up, and she said, 'There are over a billion Muslims worldwide today. If it was written in the Quran that blowing ourselves up would get us to heaven why are there so many of us? Wouldn't we all be blowing ourselves up?'" she recalled. "Listening to the volunteer speak about Islam in such a matter-of-fact way really forced me to think about the issues."
Nestell continued, "One of the most interesting things about this trip was being in a non-Christian-based country. I had never really thought about what being in a Christian-based country meant until I traveled to the UAE. In the UAE, Sunday is not the 'day of rest.' Everything is open normal hours; however, Friday is the day of rest where everything is closed or has reduced hours ... [That] was definitely an interesting experience."
In addition to making connections with Emirati students and others from around the world, highlights for the MCLA group included the opportunity to stroll the souks (traditional markets), as well as the Iranian market, ride a camel and to hear the daily call to prayer.
"This experience made me appreciate the enormity of the world," Nichipor said. "Everyone knows how big the world is, but when you're in a room with a Moroccan businesswoman, an Omani engineer, an Emirati student and a Bahraini blogger, you really appreciate it more."

A 29-year-old Wausau man accused of shooting at two people in August says he's not guilty.
Ka Yeng Xiong, 29, is charged with two counts of attempted murder. Police say the victims were in a car on Pardee Street on August 5, when Xiong shot at them. One person was injured by flying glass.
He remains behind bars on a $250,000 cash bond.
In August Deputy Chief Bryan Hilts of the Wausau Police Department said the entire incident started with a confrontation between Xiong and the victims, outside the Paradox Bar on Third Street an hour before the shooting.
Shortly after the confrontation, Hilts says two people drove to the 1700 block of Pardee Street, where Xiong lives. That's when Xiong came out of his home, and opened fire on their vehicle.
The shooting spree also damaged neighboring property.
"I know that there was a house that had a window damaged, there was another house that had a bullet lodged in the siding and I believe there was another car that was struck twice," Hilts said.
He says seven to 10 rounds were fired, and police located several 9 millimeter casings at the scene.
Xiong, who has a lengthy criminal record and has been convicted of criminal damage to property, battery, burglary and disorderly conduct, obtained the gun illegally.
A motion to reduce Xiong's bond was denied. He remains behind bars on a $250,000 cash bond.
