We were helped by the librarian to begin our search for Mayflower ancestors. She was helpful and guided us with thoughtful ideas to work upon when we arrived home.
We were helped by the librarian to begin our search for Mayflower ancestors. She was helpful and guided us with thoughtful ideas to work upon when we arrived home.
I visited the Mayflower Society Library several times. The librarian was extremely helpful. They have some wonderful resources available to learn about the Pilgrims, your ancestors in the area, and the general area itself. I would highly recommend it as a stop for anyone visiting the area.
A jewel in Plymouth, beautifully maintained and furnished with many of the items of the Pilgrims. The Mayflower Descendants should be very proud of this beautiful eighteenth century museum.
The guides really make this place come to life. It was a shame that there are only two original pieces remaining in the house. I wish iIhad been told at the beginning that to be a member of the Society you need too be a proven decendant of a Pilgrim father as that would have made it even more interesting.... More
This was a complete surprise to us. We had found this museum while heading down to the Mayflower II. We found the guides to be extremely knowledgeable and engaged in the era and benefits of the museum/house from both the historical aspect but also for the educational prospective. Being somewhat of a history buff and student of the era, I... More
Interesting and informative tour given by the docents. Most displays are original dating back to the 1600s and forward. The grounds are magnificent including the flowers and gardens. But it is the tour of the rooms in the house that is most interesting. There is a $5 entrance fee for non-members of the Society.
Very happy with the tour and glad that we had the opportunity to experience this treasure! We made it just in time for the start of a tour! It was a nice surprise while visiting Plymouth and seeing the "Rock!" We had six in our family with three teenagers and a six year old. All were well behaved and enjoyed... More
The folks who give the tours were great! What an absolutely beautiful home! Great attention to detail back in the day and interesting to see all the artifacts.
We stopped by the Mayflower House for a quick visit on our way out of Plymouth after researching our Mayflower descendants. A tour was in progress but the curator was there and she took us around and showed us the items that had belonged to Brewster & Hopkins family. The house is just beautiful. It is a very nice addition... More
My 9 year-old was not patient enough to go through the museum looking at every item, but he left with a better understanding of the pilgrims and their tribulations. A "treasure hunt" helped him stay interested, but it was not engaging enough for him. My wife and I loved it!. The admission was only $6 (AAA) each. My boy was... More

I've made these 3 or 4 times, and they've been a big hit every time. They totally satisfy a jalapeno popper craving!

Made these this week and they were awesome! I cleaned out all the seeds and ribs and even rinsed out the jalapeno halves and they were not spicy at all. I like some spice, so next time I won't rinse them and I might leave a little of the ribs in. After they came out of the oven and cooled a bit, they were gone in minutes!

Haven't done quite as well as I did at this point last week:-
Arsenal 2-0 Blackpool 10pts
Birmingham 1-0 Blackburn 15pts
Everton 1-1 Wolves 30pts
Stoke 0-1 Tottenham (Banker) 45pts
WBA 1-2 Sunderland -10pts
West Ham 0-1 Bolton 10pts
Wigan 0-3 Chelsea ?
Newcastle 1-2 Aston Villa ?
Fulham 1-0 Man United (Insurance) ?
Man City 0-2 Liverpool ?
Banker Bonus 5pts/15pts
First season playing this perticular prediction game so I'm not sure how the banker bonus works. If the bonus is applied just to the overall score then I'm on 105pts at the moment. If it's applied to the game that you used the bonus on then that'll be worth another 10pts.

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Education Minister George Abbott has confirmed he will not seek re-election in the spring.
His departure had been rumoured for some time but after stints in Opposition and 33 years in local and provincial government, he's done.
"The Legislature has been my personal Hotel California. I was here in 1976 as a legislative intern and as they say, you can check out but you can never leave," explains Abbott.
He tells us he's ready to entertain grandchildren and anticipates a cabinet shakeup next week will mean someone else will take over in the education ministry.
Abbott says he's willing to help the Liberals try to get re-elected. "The BC Liberal Party is firmly entrenched in the ditch of public opinion and we need to dig ourselves out. The premier's got the unenviable task of doing that today and I think she's got the tools to do that."
John Les not running again in May
John Les, Parliamentary Secretary to the Premier, has also announced he will not seek re-election. He has served three terms as the MLA for Chilliwack.
Les says he's enjoyed his ten years in government but it's time to go, but he defends the Liberal record. "We have re-earned our Triple-A credit rating in British Columbia, one of the very few jurisdictions around the world that has that ability to say that."
Les notes he is willing to help his party try to regain power. "I think we're up to the challenge. I want to be part of that challenge, not as a candidate, but I'll certainly be there to do whatever I can."
"I trust I have been able to represent the people of Chilliwack well and hope they will forgive any shortcomings on my part," he adds in a statement.
Mary McNeil also leaving politics
Children and Family Development Minister Mary McNeil has also announced she will not run in the May 2013 election.
In a statement, the MLA for Vancouver-False Creek says her decision was not an easy one, "as I have very much enjoyed my time in public office.
"When making such an important decision as this, there are many factors that need to be considered, just as there were many factors when I first decided to run for public office over four-and-a-half years ago," says McNeil.
"The most important for me was my family, especially my thirteen wonderful grandchildren, who I know have lost out on quality time with their grandmother these past four years," she adds.
Premier Christy Clark praises Abbott's keen intellect and sharp wit around the table, McNeil's cooperation with the child watchdog to help vulnerable kids, and John Les's help to fight drugs and combat crime in BC as solicitor general.
Yesterday morning, Kevin Falcon resigned from his Cabinet post and announced he will not run again in May.

Birds need water. Plants need water. So it makes sense that moisture is an essential part of any backyard habitat for winged wildlife. But keeping a garden irrigated can take a lot of work. That's why using a mix of water-wise plants is a great way to attract a deluge of birds and butterflies without spending precious time and money on watering.
A plant's drought tolerance varies, depending on your soil, climate and location. It's best to pick plants suited to your personal growing conditions. For example, hollyhocks do fine without supplemental water in areas that receive some summer rain. In regions with dry summers, however, these statuesque blooms will have a powerful thirst.
Growing conditions can also vary within your own garden. South and west exposures tend to dry out more quickly than areas facing north or east. Choose plants with a stronger drought tolerance for these hotter zones. Artemisia, cotoneaster, echinacea, rudbeckia, sedums and most salvias are good selections. These plants will also entice birds and butterflies with shelter and food.
A few shade-tolerant plants that can handle occasional drought include hostas, bear's breech (Acanthus), hardy geraniums, heavenly bamboo (Nandina domestica) and bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi).
As you devise your planting strategy, think vertically as well as horizontally. Choose a combination of plant sizes, and different colors, textures and seasons of bloom.
Small water-thrifty trees and shrubs add character and color. A few good choices are western redbud (Cercis occidentalis), chaste tree (Vitex agnus-castus), red-leaf rose (Rosa glauca) and strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo). Grapes, currants, gooseberries and other water-wise fruit-bearing shrubs and vines provide a great food source for many birds.
Herbs are also remarkably adaptable to dry conditions. Rosemary, oregano and many other flowering herbs have nectar-rich blooms that are well-suited to certain butterflies, moths and beneficial insects.
Healthy plants can get by on less water than plants that are stressed. Timely weeding and feeding are the first steps to keeping plants healthy. But adding organic mulch will always enhance the drought tolerance of most any plant.
Start by mixing a 3- to 6-inch layer of organic matter, such as compost, into the soil before you plant. Doing this increases the water-retaining capacity of the soil and creates an environment that encourages roots to grow deeper, which makes it easier for the plants to find and absorb moisture during times of drought.
Adding organic mulch like compost, shredded leaves, herbicide-free grass clippings or aged sawdust to the surface is a good idea as well. This will conserve water by preventing weeds (which waste water and nutrients) and keeping soil temperatures cooler and moisture levels more consistent, while also reducing surface evaporation.
No plant can survive without water. Even water-thrifty plants need consistent watering the first year or two as they become established. After that, the key is to water deeply and infrequently, which will promote a deeper and more extensive root system. The best time to water is in the cool of the early morning or evening. That way, more water seeps into the soil and less is lost through evaporation.
The 12 drought-resistant suggestions that start on page 47 are a great launching pad for an easy-care garden. By growing the right water-thrifty plants and utilizing strategies that help maximize moisture, you can keep your landscape lush and winged visitors like birds and butterflies content during times of drought and beyond. What's more, using less water to produce a downpour of color also gives you more time to sit back and soak it all in.
You can increase your winged population and decrease your water bill with these 12 water-wise plants, like the goldenrod pictured at right. Once established in the garden, they will easily adapt to dry conditions, requiring little to no supplemental water during the dry season.

Over the weekend I had an interesting conversation with a local trader. We typically meet a few times a year to share our market outlooks, new trading tools and techniques, and usually finish our session off in a debate about the US market manipulation and how to trade around it.
Talking about market manipulation always opens up a can of worms and sparks some interesting theories... And while everyone has their own views and opinion on this subject I thought I would briefly share the main points I pulled from our conversation.
I did talk about the dollar index last week, but the recent price action unfolding today is important so I'm going to recap on it again.
Point form thoughts supporting Lower Equity prices and a Higher Dollar:
Points supporting Higher Equity prices and a Lower Dollar:
What do all these points mean? Let's take a look at the dollar charts below...
ws us to see all intraday price action while being able to zoom out several months for patterns along with key support and resistance levels.
As you can see over the past few months the dollar has been consolidating sideways. Within this consolidation it has formed two bullish falling wedges with the most recent one breakout last week right on queue.
Using this 24 hour futures dollar index chart we can see where things are trading through the weekend. On Friday the dollar index closed around the 79.50 level. As you can see the dollar has surged Sunday night by more than half a penny breaking through its down trend line.
The next few weeks will continue to be exciting ones as strong moves in the dollar will create wild movements in stocks and commodities.
If you zoom WAY OUT using the weekly chart this shows you the two major areas where the dollar index is likely to reach come November. Also with these levels are my SP500 price points which are simply numbers I pulled from the charts using basic analysis. I say this because I'm not into long term forecasting but rather shorter term price movements. A lot can change between now and then.
the dollar index rallies to the 86 - 88 level then I would expect the SP500 to be trading back down at the 1000 level. If this takes place, the Fed will likely issue QE3 to jam the dollar back down and boost equities.
The flip side of the coin is that the dollar rolls over here and gets pulled down. This will boost stock prices in favor for the president's election. After that the dollar would likely rally which in turn would put a major top in the stock market, kick starting a bear market.
The big question...
Do you short the market in anticipation of rising dollar and falling stock prices? OR do you buck the trend and stick with the theory of a lower dollar value and presidential cycle?
The charts above clearly show how we are entering a major tipping point for the market and the next couple months are likely going to provide some big price swings for stocks, commodities and currencies.

I run a limited company in the UK, and when I sell on-line services and digitalised goods to people around the European Union for their personal use, the place of supply is always the UK and I'm supposed to pay UK taxes. However, which country's copyright regulations apply when selling outside the UK?
I'm asking this question, since some time ago I downloaded a few pictures from a website that sells royalty-free photos, and their standard licence says that I'm allowed to have only one copy of a single photo, whereas the law of my country (Poland) says I'm allowed to have as many copies of any digitalised goods I buy as I wish. I know that nobody's going to check my computer to see whether I have one picture in one or two folders, but this is an example of a website which terms and conditions are against the law of a country where they sell their services (they have a Polish website and a Polish customer service, but the terms and conditions are in English). I believe that in this case the Polish law is above their terms and conditions, as they're a US-based company, but what if a company sells e-services within the EU (like my company does) and the country of supply is the country where the company is registered?

Romans vs. Germans Essay
Romans vs. Germans Essay
We were assigned to write a five paragraph essay comparing the ancient Romans and the early Germans for social studies class.
Despite being interested in the Roman way of life and moving closer to the Roman Empire, the Germans continued to live in the manner in which they were accustomed. The Romans and Germans each practiced their own ways of living with little influence on one another for many years.The manner in which they trained soldiers and treated enemies, lived in their homes, and wrote their laws were very different. The Romans lived in cities and the Germans lived in the country. The Romans disciplined and trained soldiers intensely and the Germans raised boys to be warriors. The Romans wrote laws and the Germans memorized laws that were chosen by the people.
The Germanic people and Romans trained their soldiers and treated their enemies very differently. Germans began training boys for war when they were young. Young adult males were given spears and a shield in a special ceremony. They were required to carry these weapons with them at all times or risk losing the respect of their fellow men. German fighters were divided into clans which were based on family relationships. The bands of warriors did not make specific plans to fight, but rather roamed the countryside raiding their enemies in surprise attacks. They also believed in leaving their enemies dead on the battlefield.The Romans, however, trained their soldiers for hours. They marched for days and taught their soldiers to build fortresses when they were traveling to protect themselves against attacks. They also were somewhat kind to the people they conquered. They did not tax them, allowed them to become citizens, and let them keep their governments. In return, the Romans asked that the people they conquered to become members of their army.
The Romans and Germans lived in two very different types of homes and environments. The Romans lived in Rome, Italy, which was a very crowded city of almost 1 million people. Pollution, a high cost of living, crime, and few places for people to live made living in Rome difficult for many. Most people lived in 6 story apartment buildings called islands. A shop was often located on the ground floor and upstairs there were dark, windowless, rooms that had no plumbing. Rich Romans lived in multiple story houses that had indoor plumbing and were decorated with expensive stone and jewels. Most Germans lived in villages in the country. Their homes were huts with thatched roofs. The Germans kept animals at one end of their huts while they lived in the opposite end. The heat from the animals kept them warm on a cold winter night. Their furniture consisted of a few wooden tables and chairs.
The Germans and Romans made their laws in different ways. Roman judges often had to write new laws to help them do business with people in territories that they recently conquered. Judges wrote laws with the help of lawyers and other legal writers called juries prudentes. Over time, they developed laws that they felt were fair to everyone in the Roman Empire. They also made their legal rules the same so that everyone was governed in the same manner. The Germans, however, had their laws come from the people. Laws could not be changed without their approval. In addition, laws were never written down, but memorized. Families were expected to teach their children the law to remember when they became adults.
The contrast between the manner in which the Romans and Germans lived their lives was evident in many ways. Law making, living conditions, and the training of soldiers and enemy treatment were completely different for each group. German soldiers were trained at a young age and fought in clans that left dead enemies on the battle field, while Roman soldiers started training and were disciplined heavily. Roman life was very civilized with two general house types for rich and poor, while the Germans lived in villages where they slept with livestock in their huts. The Romans wrote their laws down, while the Germans memorized the laws that were chosen by the people. The Romans and the Germans took years to understand one another and adopt each other's characteristics.

Bolshoi Ballet Cancels RITE OF SPRING
Emerging Pictures, the largest all-digital specialty film and alternative content network of theatres in the U.S., today announced that its scheduled presentation of the Bolshoi Ballet's new production of "The Rite of Spring" has been cancelled as the result of the attack on Bolshoi artistic director Sergei Filin. Earlier this month, Filin was savagely assaulted near his Moscow home by a masked attacker who threw acid in his face. He suffered third-degree burns and will very likely lose sight in one eye; his recovery will take at least six months.
A new production with commissioned choreography by Wayne McGregor was planned to celebrate the 100th anniversary of "The Rite of Spring." The performance was to have been screened as part of Emerging Pictures's Ballet in Cinema series in approximately 300 U.S. theatres beginning April 21.
Barry Rebo, managing partner at Emerging Pictures, said, "We very much regret this unavoidable cancellation. Our thoughts are with Mr. Filin and all his colleagues at the Boshoi, and hope for his fullest possible and speedy recovery. A suitable performance will be substituted for 'The Rite of Spring' in Emerging network theatres."
The official release from the Bolshoi read, in part:
"The Directorship of the Bolshoi theatre of Russia, with the production crew headed by the choreographer Wayne McGregor, has come to a joint decision to postpone the production of 'The Rite of Spring' due to the fact that the artistic director of the ballet company of the Bolshoi theatre of Russia, Mr. Sergei Filin, is hospitalized. The date of the production will be determined after the artistic director of the ballet returns back to the theatre."
Nationally, Emerging Pictures's Ballet in Cinema and Opera in Cinema performances are shown on movie screens in nearly 400 multiplexes, art houses, museums and performing arts centers throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Extension Highlights
Late Fall Seeding Risky
Cool season turfgrasses like Kentucky bluegrass and turf-type tall fescue are best seeded by September 15. While seeding might still be done successfully after October 1 with significant inputs and precautions, poor establishment and/or winterkill should be expected. Winterkill of all turfgrass plants can be through desiccation in dry windy areas, crown hydration in poorly drained areas, and/or direct low-temperature kill with dramatic temperature drops to extreme cold in the fall or winter. More at...
Fall Frost Dates
Many Nebraska corn and soybean fields were planted later than normal due to prolonged wet conditions last spring. Tapan Pathak, UNL Extension Educator for Climate Variability, summaries the earliest, latest, and average frost dates for Nebraska
Hail Damaged Corn and Ear Rot
Corn damaged from hail can not only be at risk of stalk rot, but ear rot can also be a concern. Ear rot conditions will impact corn storage risks and could lead to possibility of fusarium and micotoxins. Tamra Jackson-Ziems, UNL Extension plant pathologist, discusses what you can look for and storage conditions key to limiting rot growth during storage. Additional information is available for Corn Disease Profile and Major Fusarium Diseases on Corn.
Opportunities for High Soybean Yields
On-farm research at the Soybean Management Field Days is providing insights to practices that can increase soybean yields. Greg Kruger, UNL Cropping Systems Specialists, discusses opportunities for increased yields based upon row spacing and plant populations. The Soybean Management Field Days are a joint effort of the Nebraska Soybean Board and UNL Extension.

We understand that for any business to thrive, employees have to be put into consideration as they are amongst the most significant assets. Consequently a business has to design a motivated work-force since it is one of the key components of any successful company. In order to retain employees, companies have to come up with innovative performance measurement systems that would help in developing exceptional remuneration packages. This is because in the world today, there are a new crop of employees, who are generally information technology literate or have a host of new skills that were not available in the past.
We encourage HR professionals to develop a strategic approach to salaries and benefits as it is increasingly becoming important. A rigid labor market together with low inflation means employers have to be creative in order to remain competitive in recruiting and retaining staff without facing significant increases in pay bill costs or disruption of normal business functions.
Employee benefits in general refer to forms of value, other than salaries or payment granted to the employee in return for their contribution in an organization. Benefits are steadily becoming more expensive for businesses to provide to employees and as a result the range and choices of benefits are changing quickly to include, for example, flexible benefit plans. PPACA has recently intervened to this end to offer some employers a temporary tax credit to encourage them to provide insurance.
Recent research has shown us that a number of companies struggle with communicating benefits information to its employees. We urge HR professionals to incorporate the technology and tools in their reach to make communication strategies more successful, and to file their efforts to ensure uniformity.
In order to communicate effectively, we advise companies to start with understanding the three-to-five year strategic priorities of the business – these may include healthcare cost management, improving productivity and customer service growth by acquisition, and attracting and retaining talent. Productivity improvement programs are also another strategy that helps tie job behavior to rewards that may either be financial (e.g., bonuses and pay raises) or nonfinancial (e.g., improved job satisfaction).
Obtaining the right level of financing on terms that you can afford is also another strategy. It may be quite easy to understand the difference between an angel investor and a venture capitalist and knowing which one is right for your business but the process of actually finding an investor and giving them the documentation that will encourage them to invest in your business can be quite difficult.
Our firm is innovative to our industry and caters to early stage business startups and small businesses. We can help guide your HR professionals on the global standards for employee benefits.

2013 Program Descriptions
Amazing Chemistry – It's All Around Us
the chemistry of everyday items and processes that affect us.
Look at the pigments in leaves and see if they can be separated
them from one another. Are they the same as those in food
coloring and can we separate them the same way? Which work
better to color cloth? Generate gas using hydrogen peroxide and
yeast and see if that makes as much gas as mixing vinegar and
baking soda. Which procedure makes a better "volcano"? How is
the "volcano reaction" related to the gas formed when you burp
after eating a Tums®? These are just a few of the questions
we'll work out as we do our chemistry. What are you curious
about? Bring your ideas the first day and maybe we can do an
experiment to explore them by the end of the week.

Updated 9/10/13: This article has been updated to reflect information for the 2013-2014 school year.
A handful of colleges and universities don't add tuition to students' bills, which can add up to major cost savings for those who qualify or who are willing to work in return for their education.
Some of the schools that don't charge tuition are quite small, many require some form of service and a few have strict eligibility guidelines. Most still charge room, board and other fees, so they're not completely free, notes Pamela Rambo, founder of the education-focused Rambo Research and Consulting firm.
"It is a big savings, but it's not for everybody," she notes. "There are lots of ways to look at going to college for less money."
[Find other ways to pay for college.]
With that caveat, and bearing in mind that this list may not be exhaustive, here are 12 tuition-free schools you may want to check out.
• Alice Lloyd College, Pippa Passes, Ky.: Nestled in the Appalachian Mountains, this school offers a free tuition guarantee, but only to full-time students from one of the 108 counties in the Central Appalachian service area. The area encompasses districts in Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, and the college's home state of Kentucky. U.S. News rank: 40, Regional Colleges (South)
[Find out how to save money through regional tuition breaks.]
• Berea College, Berea, Ky.: Students do not pay tuition at this Christian college but must participate in the Student Labor Program. All full-time students work at least 10 hours a week on campus, and can receive additional, low wages ($4.10 to $7.25 an hour) for their hours. U.S. News rank: 76, National Liberal Arts Colleges
• College of the Ozarks, Point Lookout, Mo.: This Christian school foots the bill for students' tuition in exchange for 15 hours of on-campus work per week, plus two 40-hour work weeks each year during semester breaks. Nearly 94 percent of incoming students demonstrate financial need, and jobs range from custodial work to dairy farming. U.S. News rank: 10, Regional Colleges (Midwest)
• Cooper Union, New York City: Currently, all admitted students receive full-tuition scholarships to this urban institution known for art, architecture and engineering. This is the final year Cooper Union students are guaranteed a tuition-free education, though, as the school will switch to half-tuition scholarships starting fall 2014. The awards are merit-based, so students can apply for need-based financial aid to cover remaining tuition. U.S. News rank: 1, Regional Colleges (North)
• Curtis Institute of Music, Philadelphia: Students who apply to this small music school are evaluated on "artistic promise" alone, according to the institution's mission statement, and must audition for a spot on the roster. All accepted students receive full-tuition scholarships. U.S. News rank: Unranked

So I had this Idea for a story. It's about just a simple kid, who one day see's a crime happening. But when most people would have ran, including him, he decided to step in. He became a real hero. Ever sense then he has tried to be the best person he can be. Over the next four years he began to get a reputation around the world as the first real super hero. Yeah that's right every night he dressed up and went out to fight crime. But how would he feel if he ended up saving one of his co-worker's and they figured out who he really was? Well . . . who knows.
So the idea behind the RP is yes based around kick ass but I had tried this before and it worked out really well so I'd like to try it again with a new character. If your interested I'm looking for a partner as for preferences. MxM MxF FxF are all OK with me so hit me up and We'll see where the story takes us ^__^

The three torches, symbolizing Florida State University's motto 'Vires, Artes. Mores', ablaze during Convocation on Aug. 26. The event took place in the Leon County Civic Center to welcome the class of 2016 to Florida State. / Zachary Goldstein/FSView
The class of 2016 listens to President Eric Barron speak at Convocation. The event took place in the Leon County Civic Center to welcome the class of 2016 to Florida State. / Zachary Goldstein/FSView
On Sunday, Aug. 26, Florida State University ushered approximately 5,800 students into the Class of 2016 at the New Student Convocation held in the Tallahassee-Leon County Civic Center.
The event began at 1:30 p.m, with speeches given by President Barron, Provost Garnett Stokes, Vice President Mary Coburn, Dean Karen Laughlin, and Student Government Association President Rueben Stokes.
Prior to the start of the event, new students and their families were treated with musical performances by All Night Yahtzee and the Acabelles, two of FSUs a cappella groups.
The featured guest speaker was Doc Hendley, author of Wine to Water, a novel the incoming students were encouraged to read over the summer. The book is about Hendleys mission as a small town bartender to host wine-tasting events in order to raise money for clean water projects. Today he is committed to helping poor countries improve their water supplies.
Next, FSUs beloved Alma Mater was taught to the incoming students by Kevin Fenton, respected music professor at the University, and Kaybeth Holder, a first-year student.
Leading up to Convocation, new students attended orientation sessions scheduled at intervals over the summer, which culminated in Seminole Sensation Week, a five-day period of fun events designed to give students a chance to meet each other and become acquainted with extracurricular activities offered by the University.
Orientation Leader and proud FSU student Maddie Rodnite said Convocation brought new FSU students together.
I think Convocation is such an essential step in ones time at FSU, Rodnite said. Its so exciting to see my students from the summer orientation sessions return to campus to be a part of the Seminole family.
One newly welcomed freshman, Sara Cox, said the ceremony was the perfect way to start the semester and meet classmates.
Convocation was a really great opportunity to get a feel for what my college experience will be like, Cox said. I got to meet some other new students, as well as getting a great message from my Dean.
After Convocation the students were invited to attend President Barrons Backyard BBQ, held at the Presidents House and accompanied by free food and entertainment.
There, students were invited to wear free t-shirts handed out to incoming freshmen, which displayed the academic school of their respective majors and certain colors to represent them, allowing more sense of belonging.

By Jeffry Bartash, MarketWatch
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — U.S. consumers paid somewhat higher prices for food, rent and housing in October, offsetting a decline in the price of gasoline at the pump.
The consumer-price index edged up a seasonally adjusted 0.1% last month, the Labor Department said Thursday. That matched the forecast of economists surveyed by MarketWatch.
• Five takeaways from the jobs report
Why Fed may still hesitate to pull the taper trigger
The Federal Reserve is likely to hold off a taper in December, using the meeting to prepare the markets for a move early next year.
• U.S. gains 203,000 jobs in November
• Third-quarter growth fastest since early 2012
• Corporate profits at new record as share of GDP
Inflation-adjusted hourly wages, meanwhile, fell by 0.2% in October. Wages fell slightly, even as consumer prices rose, to account for the decline.
Real wages have fallen 0.7% over the past 12 months, meaning consumers have less buying power compared with one year ago.
Consumers got some relief in October, however, from the falling price of gasoline. The government's price index of gas, which spiked 16.6% from July to September, tapered off 0.6% last month.
The more important number to consumers — the actual cost of a gallon of gas — fell by almost 7% in October and retail prices continued to decline in the first two weeks of November. The average national cost is about $3.50 a gallon, down from nearly $4 a few months ago.
Falling costs of gasoline and natural gas led to a 0.2% drop in the government's broader fuel index. Energy prices are still 4% higher compared with one year ago, however.
Pricier food
Food costs, on the other hand, climbed 0.2% last month. A major drought during the summer boosted the price of many crops, including those used to feed livestock. The cost of a wide variety of foodstuffs, ranging from dairy and vegetables to meat and poultry, increased in October.
Over the past 12 months, food prices have risen an unadjusted 1.7%.
Excluding food and gas, core consumer prices rose 0.2% in October, mostly because of higher rents and rising prices for homes. That was faster than the 0.1% increase expected in the MarketWatch survey.
Core prices have risen an unadjusted 2.0% over the past year, unchanged from the prior month, and within the Federal Reserve's target for inflation.
The core rate is viewed by the Federal Reserve as a good barometer of long-term inflationary trends because food and energy costs can jump sharply from month to month.
The broader consumer price index has risen an unadjusted 2.2% over the past year, up from 2% in the prior month.

3 professors receive state nature award
Date: Monday, January 14th, 2013 | Return |
The state Nature Preserves Commission has given three WKU biology professors its annual award for work that protects biological diversity.
Albert Meier, Ouida Meier and Scott Grubbs received this year's Biological Diversity Protection Award for their work creating the Upper Green River Biological Preserve.
The preserve is on both banks of the Green River in Hart County. The Green River is the most important river in Kentucky for the conservation of rare native mussels and fish. It hosts 109 fish species and nearly 60 mussel species.
The area is also important for an endangered bat species found on the preserve and as a breeding and migratory habitat for songbirds.
The Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission was created in 1976 to protect the best remaining natural areas of Kentucky.
