Rated 4 out of 5Â by 11 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by o00 coral is BLACK AND BROWN. AMAZING I Ordered the coral color and they are actually black and brown stripe. Very cute. These pants are going to go with everything. I put them on to try them on and have not yet taken them off. They are snug but comfortable. I usually am a size 25 and these fit like a glove. Great deal get them before they are gone. I am glad I already ordered the white/blue since they still had some left in size 25. 6.28.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Sdr206 Subtlety cool The seams at the knees and the pinstripes are just too cool. I'm normally a size 27 but they only had a 31 in store. it fits more loose but not baggy and doesn't hide my shape/ flatten my rear. In fact, at four sizes larger, it's super flattering for my rear (more like a bf jean) and slimming on thighs, and just gives the jeans a more relaxed and cool look. Paired it w/ a v neck soft white tee and the FP mission stud belt and a white cotton motorcycle jacket and was the coolest chick at the club ;-) 6.2.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Podling Railroad jeans Love these jeans just bought them at a fp store while vacationing ind Denver. I bought the blue conductor color. They are very comfy but ran a little small. I usually wear a size 28 in fp jeans and the 29 fits perfectly for these skinny jeans. I am 130lbs and 5'5''. 5.20.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by blue9girl9 Very cool for what I paid Actually, I got them for only $29.95. I go to the store close to my job every other week or so and so often have snatched up items deeply on sale! I would not have paid $78 for these because I'm not a huge skinny jeans fan (I'm 49 years old, after all!) They're really cute though. I love the railroad style, it's fun. Only complaints, like someone else said, 30% polyester is kind of yukky, and the crotch hangs a tad low even though they're super tight. But yes, I would recommend them if you can find them at a great sale price! 5.2.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by slimguru TOO MUCH POLYESTER!!!! I bought a pair of railroad skinnies before winter, in green herringbone -- they are brilliant! Best most flattering body hugging fit ever, they fit like they were made for me (I am 5'10", 131 lbs, size 27). My boyfriend loves them, I love them. So I bought a pair in both the blue and the black, totally excited -- only when I got them home, I realized they were not made out of 98% cotton like the others, but had 30% polyester. Horrible! Why would you do that? Really itchy to have skin tight polyester next to your skin, they will never even soften and mold the way cotton does, they will just get old, and degrade. I've washed the green ones twice, and they are already soft. I tried to get used to them, but itchy skinnies not for me so I returned both pairs. Also, the black ones were made a little bit smaller, just enough to be a little too tight. FP please go back to 98% cotton on these!!!! I will buy every pair you make. 3.31.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ThinLizzy Favorite Items FP did a railroad seamed pant a while back and I've been dying for more and finally they answered my prayers. Here's the thing about railroad seamed pants - they are crazy flattering. They hug your thighs in just the right places to improve your shape - almost like bodycon. Anytime I see railroad seamed pants from FP, I'll be getting them! 3.13.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by memel Almost perfect I am 5'6" 150 lbs and curvy; I got these in a 31 and they fit perfectlyâalthough I'd prefer them longer (I tend not to like cropsâI wear a 32 inseam and these are definitely above ankle length). I love the stripes, the knee seaming, and the bleachingâall very on-trend. I wear these with clog boots that just brush the hems and a leather moto jacket or low heeled boots with cut-outs and straps, clashing sox, and a drapey sweater. I really appreciate the deeper pockets, since most girl-pants shortchange us there. I especially love how soft they've gotten in just two washes. Wish they also came in a black stripe version! 1.23.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by melissasue Eh The bleached spots are not my favorite and the ankle flared just a bit too much for my taste on crops. The seams around the thigh made an indent and there isn't any stretch. Honestly, they fit just as pictured. I just wasn't excited about them. 1.2.2013

I think Hendricks does pull out a win against Lawler, but like the GSP fight it'll be a split decision that will divide fans. Maybe there's a rematch there, or the Condit/Woodley winner gets a shot. There are still fighters to face in that division if they make runs such as Ellenberger, Maia, Shields, MacDonald and Lombard.
And then there's the potential GSP comeback. If Hendricks does have the belt and GSP comes back, how does he move up and not take that fight?

Office Support / Office 365 Admin / Billing
Switch to a different Office 365 business plan or subscription
If your business needs change, or if there are Office 365 features you want to take advantage of that are not available in your current plan, you can switch from your current plan to another plan. See a list of Office 365 plans you can switch to.
This article steps you through the process of switching from one paid subscription to another paid subscription. If you want to switch from a trial subscription to a paid subscription, see Buy your trial version of Office 365 for business.
Switching subscriptions is done in three phases which have to be done in the order shown:
Prepare to Switch Office 365 plans
To improve your chances of success when switching Office 365 plans, read this section carefully before you attempt to switch plans.
What is the Switch plans wizard?
The Switch plans wizard is built into the Office 365 admin center of all Office 365 business and enterprise subscriptions. The Switch plans wizard does the following:
Leads you through the process of buying a plan that you can switch to from your current plan.
Note Only plans that can be switched to from your current subscription are shown in the wizard.
Moves users from the old subscription to the new one.
Assigns licenses to your users for the new plan.
Cancels your old plan.
Verify that you can switch to the plan you want
Before attempting to switch plans, you might want to first make sure that the Switch plans wizard supports switching from the plan you currently have to the one that you want. The Business plans you can switch to in Office 365 article lists the plans that you can switch between using the Switch plans wizard. The Switch plans wizard will only show you the plans that you can switch to based on your current plan.
The Switch plans wizard does not support the following scenarios:
Switching to a less expensive plan is not supported by the Switch plans wizard because less expensive plans tend to have fewer services. If you need to switch to a less expensive plan, contact technical support.
Switching from Home subscriptions, such as Office 365 Home, Office 365 Personal, and Office 365 University to an Office 365 for business plan is not supported
Plan for administrative downtime
Users won't experience any interruption of service while the plans are being switched. They will continue to have full access to the subscription that you are switching from until the Switch plans wizard has completed, at which time they will have access to the new plan.
Admins won't be able to use the Office 365 admin center while the plan is being switched. Depending on the number of users you have, this can take from minutes to hours. So plan to switch plans during a time when you don't need to make updates using the Office 365 admin center.
Credit checks when switching Office 365 plans
If a credit check needs to be done, switching plans can take up to two weeks. A credit check might be required if you have chosen to pay by invoice or your purchase has reached a certain cost level. If this happens, admins will not have access to the Office 365 admin center until the credit check is complete. However, users will have full access to the plan that you are switching from.
Users, licenses, billing, and custom domains
To understand how users and licenses are handled during the switch, how switching plans affects your billing, and how to handle custom domains, see What does switching Office 365 plans do to my service and billing.
Switch Office 365 plans using the Switch plans wizard
This section shows you how to use the Switch plans wizard to switch plans.
Switching to a less expensive plan is not supported by the Switch plans wizard because less expensive plans tend to have fewer services. If you need to switch to a less expensive plan, contact technical support.
Sign in to Office 365 with your work or school account.
Go to the Office 365 admin center.
Do one of the following:
For Office 365 Small Business Premium subscriptions, click the View and edit subscriptions… link under billing.
For all other business and enterprise subscriptions, select Billing > Subscriptions.
On the Subscriptions page, select the plan you want to switch from, and then, under Actions, click Switch plans.
Note If you don't see the Switch plans link, your plan can't be switched using the Switch plans wizard. Instead, you'll see No switch plans. There are many factors that can prevent you from switching plans. For example, plans that are prepaid using a product key cannot be switched. To find out why you can't switch plans using the wizard, hover the mouse over the info bubble or click the learn more link.
On the Choose a new plan page, select the plan that you want to switch to and then, do the following:
Review the subtotal of the purchase.
Click the key information link to learn how switching plans affects your services and billing.
Select the check box.
After you have reviewed your order, click Next.
On the Review your order page, verify that everything is correct.
Tip If you want to add additional licenses, click the Edit link on the Review your order page to add additional user licenses, and click Update cart. Note You cannot remove licenses as part of switching plans. However, you can reduce the number of licenses before or after you switch plans. See Remove licenses from your Office 365 for business subscription to learn more.
Click Next.
If the legal agreement page appears, complete the items on the page and then click Next.
On the payment page, do the following:
Select the payment frequency you want.
Select the payment type.
Note Selecting the Invoice payment option can delay the switching plans process by up to two weeks if a credit check is required.
If using a new credit card, fill in the Payment Information section.
When you're all done, at the bottom of the page, click Place order.
On the order completed page, you can click Status to show the progress of your order.
When the switching plans: status page appears, the switch plans process is underway and you'll see this page until your plan has been switched. You can close this page and come back to it later without interrupting the switch plans process.
Notes Switching plans typically takes less than ten minutes if there are no errors or issues. The license reassignment portion of the process should take less than a minute. Check marks appear next to each of the four phases as they are completed.
If the wizard gets stuck on phase 3 (reassigning user licenses) for more than one hour, see Problems in reassigning licenses while you switch plans in Office 365 for a resolution to the issue. If that doesn't solve the problem, contact Office 365 for business support.
When the wizard completes, click OK at the bottom of the Switch plans: status page return to the main page.
Note The main page may initially appear blank except for the Menu button after switching plans are switched. You can click on the Menu button and then click the Admin icon to return to the Office 365 admin center.
The first time you return to the Office 365 admin center after switching plans, you might see a message like this one.
Update your Office installation on a PC or Mac after you switch Office 365 plans
If you installed Office on a PC or Mac as part of your Office 365 subscription, and you decide to switch to a different Office 365 plan, your current Office subscription might expire. To reactivate Office, you'll have to update your Office installation if you move among the following versions of Office 365:
Office 365 Small Business Premium
Office 365 Business
Office 365 ProPlus
If you don't update your Office installation, you might see the following error messages:
Your subscription has expired
Unlicensed product
Product deactivated
The products we found in your account can't be used to activate <product name>
If you installed Office on a PC, you need to install a new version of Office. If you installed Office on a Mac, you need to reactivate your installation.
Install a new version of Office on your PC after you switch Office 365 plans
When you change plans, you first have to install a new version of Office, and then you uninstall your current version. This method is faster than uninstalling Office and then re-installing Office.
Install a new version of Office on your PC. See the steps in Install Office using Office 365 for business.
Uninstall the version of Office that you currently have on your computer.
Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features.
Use the Installed On column to determine the older version of Office. Right-click the older version of Office, and then click Uninstall.
Do not use the Fix it tool as instructed in KB2739501 to uninstall Office. The Fix it tool uninstalls both versions of Office.
Reactivate Office on a Mac after you switch Office 365 plans
Within 24 to 48 hours after you switch plans, your subscription to Office is deactivated, and the next time you open an Office application, a Product deactivated screen appears.
To reactivate your Office installation, select Sign in to an existing Office 365 Subscription, and then log on with your work or school account.

Voss to stress community work as WTOL-11 co-anchorWritten by Danielle Stanton | | email@example.com
WTOL-11 anchorwoman Emilie Voss said the outpouring of Toledo love has been amazing since being tapped to fill shoes left behind by former anchor Chrys Peterson.
"I think it's challenging, but I have an amazing support system in this community," Voss said in a recent telephone interview. "They have been so supportive, it's almost overwhelming … I get support from complete strangers at the grocery store. … It is intimidating. But that's why I liked Toledo from day one because it's so supportive and that's what drew me to this region. My friends and family are all in California, but I feel like I belong here and the reason for that is the people, especially in the last few weeks."
Peterson's Jan. 2 announcement of her departure from the anchor desk at WTOL-11 to spend more time with daughter, Riley surprised and shocked viewers and co-workers, including longtime co-anchor Jerry Anderson. Voss had been co-anchor with Peterson since April 2012 and will continue to anchor the 5:30 p.m. WTOL newscast as well as the evening newscasts at 6:30 and 10 on FOX.
"Emilie is a leader in our newsroom," said WTOL News Director CJ Hoyt. "She's well-liked, she's great at what she does. We couldn't be in a better position to fill this chair than with someone who's been with us for the past two years and has learned so much from Jerry and Chrys."
Anderson said he's confident Voss will do great in the role.
"It's a luxury to have someone like Emilie waiting in the wings to jump into that position because it's important and she's going to do a great job at it," Anderson said. "She's a lot of fun and she's really committed to getting it right. … She is meticulous. She asks questions. … And the thing also about Emilie that is cool is she knows she's not Chrys Peterson. She admires and loves Chrys Peterson but she's very comfortable in her own skin."
"I'm very excited," Voss said of her new position. "Chrys leaving was a shock to all of us and I'm excited to take on this new role and it's a challenge. I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
"I think it's big shoes to fill. I've had the honor of working with Chrys for two years. I see the impact she's had in the community. I have an amazing support system at the station. I'm lucky to have had Chrys as a mentor. I hope to continue on with what she's doing. Her spirit is in the community."
Voss is heavily involved in the community as well. She volunteers at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center as a "cuddler," a person who holds babies and is an extra set of hands for the nurses. She also volunteers for the American Cancer Society.
Most recently, Voss participated in an event much like the television program "Dancing with the Stars," in which she was paired with a professional dancer to raise funds for local nonprofit The Arms Forces. The event, "Dancing with the Military Stars," was held May 10 at Toledo Express Airport and helped raise money for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and brain injuries. The program has a national reach, Voss said.
Voss got her start in television in 2004 at Grand Junction, Colorado, at station KREX-TV. She worked there two years as a reporter, where she shot and edited her own video and wrote the copy. It was a "complete one-man band," she said. While there, she was promoted to weekend anchor.
"I was making $18,000 a year my first job out of college. It was just a shock to me to live on that money," Voss said. "But it was a reality check. I didn't think I ever wanted to anchor. They offered me $2,000 more and I went to anchoring and fell in love with it."
She transferred to WILX in Lansing, Michigan from 2006-08 where she fell in love with the region, she said. In 2008, she moved back to her hometown of Palm Springs, California, where she worked for station KESQ.
In Lansing and Palm Springs, she worked as a morning anchor. It wasn't until she came to Toledo from Palm Springs in 2012 that she moved to the evening shift.
"I was applying for a job in this region. I knew I wanted to end up back here. [The station] wanted another anchor with Jerry and Chrys. Timing-wise, it was perfect. I feel so blessed I'm next to Jerry and [formerly] Chrys. They both greeted me with open arms and in our business that's not always the case. They helped me jump into community involvement and helped me feel comfortable at work. For people who have been working here so long, they didn't have to open their arms.
"There could be a reality show on commercial breaks," Voss said. "[Anderson] is so funny and Chrys is exactly what you see on TV. I joke she's like a mom to me. She prefers sister. … She's become close to my mom. I talk to [Chrys] every day still and see her once a week. We have a friendship outside of work. Our desks were next to each other in the newsroom. I miss having her chat with me all day, but I get more work done. She hasn't completely cleaned out her desk. I keep pretending she's on vacation."
Peterson said she's happy for and proud of Voss.
"I'm really pleased for her," Peterson said. "She's not a whole lot older when I took that job 20 years ago so it's fun for me to watch and she's going to be able to grow into that position like I did, where you get to know the community and they get to know you. And the viewing audience … will appreciate her professionalism and her warmth and they will be happy to watch her grow in the upcoming year.
"We became friends and we're really similar in the way we approach stories and news and our sensitivities and that sort of thing. I mean, I absolutely loved working with her and she's going to do a great job."
In her new role, Voss hopes to continue growing and further involve herself in the community.
"At the anchor desk, I'll just continue what I'm doing. Jerry makes me a better anchor and Jerry makes me grow. I'll continue to be involved in the community. I think that's a huge part of this job. Not because the station asks it to be but because it should be. Jerry asked me how important being involved in the community was and that was important to me.
"They have some event every weekend. They do breakfast and lunch when they go to work. I've just continued down the path with that. I'd like to get even more involved."

Five Points™ is a game of struggle for political control of Manhattan in the mid-19th Century. As the leader of a powerful political faction, you manipulate gangs and influence politicians behind the scenes to seize control. Effective use of your resources will gain influence, win elections and control the destiny of New York, fail and you will be less than a footnote to history.
Several tools lie at your disposal, if you have the strength to acquire and use them. Your loyal rabble will execute your will. Controlling districts with your rabble could give you access to a limited number of important buildings, Tammany Hall, Board of Elections, 5th Ward Offices and many others. Your control of these buildings may provide influence and special powers. Bid for control of election-influencing manipulations that may swing the vote.
In Manhattan, your burgeoning political machine may affect politics in America's great city for over 100 years. At the heart of this machine are the gangs of New York who enforce the will of the bosses and determine elections before the first vote is cast.

VARNEY - A single vehicle accident ended with the driver and her passenger, who are husband and wife, being placed under arrest for reasons of DUI and possession of a controlled substance.
According to the criminal complaint filed by Mingo County Sheriff's Deputies N.A. Glanden and J.R. Fitch, Samantha Nelson, 39, of Cora, was operating a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze when she lost control and ended up in a ditch on Horsepen Mountain. Upon making contact with the defendant, a strong alcoholic odor was detected on her breath. The officers administered three field sobriety tests to Nelson, who was unable to complete any of them. Officer Glanden gave the defendant a portable breathalyzer tests which produced results of .163, twice the legal limit of 0.80.
David Joseph Nelson, 37, the husband of the driver, was a passenger in the vehicle at the time of the accident. When he was instructed to exit the vehicle, Nelson was said to have been staggering around, swaying back and forth as he attempted to walk and he was observed to have glassy, bloodshot eyes. While performing a pat down on the defendant, the officers discovered $988.62 in various size bills in both front pockets of his jeans, as well as 7 and 2 halves of Hydrocodone 10 mg tablets (Schedule III drug) and 9 Aderall tablets 10 mg (Schedule II drug). Also located in the floorboard of the vehicle was a camouflage coin purse containing an additional 4 Aderall 10 mg tablets.
Samantha was charged with DUI and David was charged with one count each of possession of a Schedule II controlled substance and possession of a Schedule III controlled substance. Both defendants were arraigned before Mingo County Magistrate Pam Newsome and were remanded to the custody of the Southwestern Regional Jail at Holden until which time they met the conditions and stipulations of their bonds.

Compete informed us last week that, when it comes to search fulfillment, "Yahoo is the best of breed". Even though Google has two thirds from all the queries in the US and Yahoo only 20%, Yahoo users click on a search result in 75% of the cases, compared to Google's 65%.
I don't think you can conclude that a user is happy with the results provided by a search engine just because it clicks on one of the results. Maybe he can't decide which web page is better and clicks on the first result to realize five seconds later that it's not relevant.
Here are some of the things I can find using Google without clicking on any result:
* facts automatically extracted from web pages (even if they're sometimes inaccurate, as you can see in the screenshot below - García Márquez was born in 1928):
* simple calculations and unit conversions
* dynamically updated information about: weather, stocks, currency conversions
* get information from snippets, maybe using advanced operators
* check if a spelling is correct. If Google doesn't provide a correction, you can still compare the number of results for different alternatives
* look up definitions by clicking on the underlined words and expressions from the blue bar
* compare the popularity of two products, companies, authors
* play videos from YouTube or Google Video without going to the sites
* view the cached version of a result, view a version optimized for mobile phones or translate the page in a different language. For Office documents and PDFs, you can view the HTML version
* disambiguate your query, click on search refinements
* find the ranking of a web page
As you can see, I can learn a lot of interesting things without clicking on a search result. While some of these features are also offered by Yahoo, Google users could know more about them and use them better.
Contrary to what many webmasters and SEOs think, Google's main purpose is not to send users to a web page, but to deliver relevant information. That's why it makes sense to mix web pages with books, images and maps. That's why Google offers direct answers or links to specialized search engines for some queries. As search engines become smarter, their indexes could be used to automatically generate content by quoting relevant fragments from web pages or by drawing conclusions from the data available online. The lists of search results are just a temporary solution and not the ultimate purpose of a search engine.

The NYU hiring department must provide documentation to prove that the job requires a person with special qualifications and that the individual meets those qualifications. Further, the hiring department is required to pay a salary to the individual, which meets the prevailing wage for the position. The Office of Global Services must file and receive a certified Labor Condition Application (LCA) from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) for the position before the scholar may obtain an E-3 visa or E-3 status.
Although the Office of Global Services must file an LCA, we do not need to file an E-3 petition (form I-129) with United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for scholars entering with an E-3 visa stamp from outside the U.S.
The only time the Office of Global Services must file an E-3 petition (form I-129) would be if the scholar is remaining in the U.S. and:
To request E-3 sponsorship for an Australian scholar, department liaisons should complete a Request Form for First-time Applicants for E-3 Status or a Request Form for E-3 Status Extension to initiate the process. In order to receive E-3 status in a timely manner, the Office of Global Services requests lead time in advance of the desired appointment start date:
E-3 visitors may be admitted initially for a period up to two years, and extensions of stay may be granted indefinitely in increments of up to two years. There is no limit on the total length of stay for an E-3. Under current regulations, E-3 nonimmigrants shall maintain an intention to depart the U.S. upon the expiration of termination of E-3 status. An application for initial admission, change of status or extension of stay in E-3 classification, however, may not be denied solely on the basis of an approved request for permanent labor certification or a filed or approved immigrant petition.
There is no upper age limit for E-3 status. However, there is an annual cap of 10,500 initial E-3 applications for principal visa holders. Dependents receive E-3D status and are not included in the cap.
If International Scholar Services needs to file an E-3 petition (form I-129), USCIS should adjudicate the case according to the normal processing times posted on their website (subject to change). E-3 cases cannot be expedited by using premium processing at this time. Regardless of whether a scholar enters the U.S. with an E-3 visa stamp or International Scholar Services files an E-3 petition with USCIS, the scholar may not begin working for NYU until s/he has a certified LCA for the NYU position and is in the U.S. in E-3 status with NYU.
Although the Office of Global Services will gladly answer any questions that foreign nationals may have regarding the E-3 visa, all requests for sponsorship must originate from an established liaison in the hiring department. Once the request process has been initiated by the liaison, OGS will follow up with further instructions and information.
The Office of Global Services can also assist with visa sponsorship for E-3 dependent spouses and children (E-3D). Dependent spouses and unmarried children under 21 of an E-3 principal may also have E-3 status regardless of the spouse or children's nationality. Spouses may apply for work authorization to USCIS only upon arrival in the United States. E-3Ds may also study.

Faculty Travel Guidelines
Stark Travel Guidelines & Procedures
IntroductionThe faculty travel fund covers travel to professional conferences, exhibitions and performances and is overseen by the Professional Activities Advisory Committee (PAAC). PAAC makes recommendations to the associate dean who must approve and sign all requests for travel funds. The guidelines below apply to all full-time faculty, both TT (tenure-track or tenured) and NTT (non-tenure-track). Due to budgetary constraints adjunct faculty are currently not eligible for funding.
A maximum of $1,500 will be allocated for each full-time faculty member during the fiscal year (July 1 - June 30). This maximum can be reimbursed for a single conference, performance or exhibition or for several smaller ones.
Chautauqua workshops, workshops for continuing education credits and certifications, and other sorts of training workshops will be considered on a case-by-case basis, but should be directly related to teaching or research responsibilities. Travel funds for these sorts of activities will be taken out of your allocated yearly amount.
Travel approval requests are submitted electronically. We do not accept requests in any other format. Follow these steps:
Submitting a Travel Approval Request
- For travel approval + funding, go to the Faculty Travel Approval and Funding Request Form.
For travel approval only, go to the Faculty Travel Approval Request Form.
- Fill out the form(s) completely, following the instructions given in the form itself. If any field does not apply to your situation, please type in "NA." All fields should be filled out.
- The information you have provided on the form will be sent simultaneously to all members of PAAC.
- Remember to submit documentation as requested on the respective forms. If you only have a hard copy of your acceptance letter, you will need to scan it to create a digital copy. The Dean's Office is no longer accepting hard copies. If there is a conference website that indicates that your paper is on the program, you can submit the URL of the site in lieu of an acceptance letter. If your PDF or the website link submitted is extensive, please note in your email where your documentation can be found (ie. date or page).
When and How Often Can You Be Authorized to Travel
- During final exam week: As long as travel does not interfere with scheduled exams, it will be considered. If there is a conflict, travel will be approved only under unusual circumstances.
During any semester: Travel should be limited so that no more than one week's total of any class is missed.
When to Apply for Funds
Requests must be submitted by the 15 day of the month preceding that in which the travel departure date will occur. For example, requests for travel beginning any time during the month of October should be submitted by Sept. 15. You may apply for funding for a conference, performance or exhibition before you have received acceptance in order to meet the deadline. The final approval will be granted upon receipt of your acceptance. Requests submitted after the deadline will not be funded. Early requests are ALWAYS welcome.
How Much You Can Be Reimbursed for Mileage and Meals
- To view information about mileage, meal per diem, etc., go to
FlashLine > My HR > Travel & Expense Reimbursements
- There is no reimbursement for meals or lodging when there is no overnight stay per IRS regulations.
Driving vs. Flying
Per University Policy, applicants will only be reimbursed for the least costly travel method. Please see University Policy Register 3342-7-02.8 - administrative policy regarding travel regulations (in-state and out-of-state).
Travelers are encouraged to compare all the costs associated with each mode of transportation and select the one that is the most cost effective. The reimbursement for use of a privately-owned vehicle will be paid at the lower of a mileage allowance or accumulated airfare by coach for all individuals on approved travel status traveling in a privately-owned vehicle.
When comparing costs, the Dean's Office will take into consideration the additional expenses flying would entail (car rental or public transportation, baggage fee, parking, etc.)
Applicants may only apply for parking, per diem (meals or lodging) during the event timeline and for travel time to and from.
Membership or Submission Fees Reimbursement
Faculty travel funds do not cover membership or submission fees. Membership and submission fees cannot be included in the registration fee amount on a travel request.
Poster Printing Reimbursement
Faculty travel funds do not cover the costs associated with printing a poster. For poster printing expenses, please contact the Dean's Office.
Reimbursement for Travel Expenses upon Completion of Travel
Due to budget limits and processing procedures, it is recommended that expense reimbursement requests be filed within 4 months after travel. Because the fiscal year at Kent State University ends on June 30, expense reimbursements for travel during a given fiscal year must be filed by June 15 of that year.
- Complete the reimbursement workflow in
FlashLine > My HR > Travel & Expense Reimbursement > Expense Reimbursement Workflow
Submit a PRINTOUT of the form and original receipts for air fare, hotels, parking, taxis, conference registration, etc., to the Dean's Office. Do not submit meal receipts; per diem rates will be used.
If you travel by car, please also submit a Mapquest printout of the travel route, including mileage.
How Rates of Reimbursement for Total Expenses are Determined
- Travel within Ohio (one day only): For a one-day event with no lodging expenses in the state of Ohio, 50% of allowable expenses are reimbursed (per diem (meals or lodging) is not provided when there is no overnight stay due to IRS regulations). This rate applies regardless of the extent of your participation, that is, attendance, office holder, presenter.
Travel within Ohio (more than one day) AND travel out-of-state or country: For more than one day within Ohio with lodging expenses, and for all travel out-of-state or country, the following guidelines apply:
- Attendance only = up to 45%
- Office holder, convener, representative = up to 45%
- Presentation of scholarly paper or poster, performance, exhibition = up to 90%
- Exhibition expenses can include travel to deliver (or shipping charges to mail work) and install work, travel to attend exhibition opening and/or give an artist talk at the exhibition, and travel to dismantle (or shipping charges to mail back work) and return work. Performance expenses can include travel to rehearsals and performances.
The campus cannot provide funding for canceled trips or reimburse you before your trip has been completed. If a faculty member must cancel a trip for which a request has been made, it is the responsibility of the faculty member to seek refunds directly from the appropriate providers (e.g., conference organizers, airlines, hotels). Most providers have clear cancellation policies. If you travel in Ohio and stay at a hotel you don't have to pay state taxes. Print the tax exempt form and give it to the hotel so they don't charge you state tax. This works for other purchases that would have state tax also. Other non-state sales taxes will be charged and reimbursed if appropriate.
More Information
- If you have questions about faculty travel, send an email message to email@example.com

Coming through! Cleanup begins after Phoenix Open
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The Waste Management Phoenix Open is over, but cleanup from the tournament has just begun.
Crews started clearing out trash Sunday night, and they continued the cleanup Monday morning. Scott Jenkins, director of collection operations for the tournament sponsor, said the biggest mess was found at the 16th hole at TPC of Scottsdale.
"Lot of beer cups, a lot of beer cups. We spend a lot of time removing the cups and those types of materials from the 16," Jenkins said. "There's a lot of liquid that comes along with that. It makes the bags a little heavier, but we're prepared for that."
This is the second year of Waste Management's Zero Waste Challenge. The hope is no trash left behind from the Phoenix Open will be sent to the landfill. Instead, the materials will be taken to recycling and compost stations.
"Well over half a million pounds of material is what we're looking to recycle. There's no trash coming out of the Phoenix Open," said Brad Pollock, director of recycling operations. "Everything that leaves here is going to go to a processing facility for recovery."
Crews will also start breaking down tents and grandstands Monday. The course should be completely cleared in about two weeks.

For my children...
Our family's history is America's history. Not every moment of it's history, to be sure. But we have brushed against history makers, fought and died in the wars, built the roads and expanded the boundaries of this nation. A few of us made history. All of us lived it.
We came from England, France, Ireland, Scotland, Switzerland, Germany, Haiti and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
|Photo by Desiree N. Williams
|Photo by Diorama Sky
By 1776 our ancestors were living in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia and in the territories beyond. Ancestors from each fought for independence. Cousins argued in the House of Burgesses in Williamsburg and Pennsylvania State House in Philadelphia. We were Minutemen from New England. We died at Trenton. We wintered at Valley Forge. Some cousins sided with the King and left, moving south into the Spanish territories.
As our country grew we worked in mills in New England, were merchants in Baltimore and Virginia, physicians in Maryland, plantation owners in Virginia and built farms in the hills of Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky. We traveled west by wagon and flatboat to Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, and Kansas searching for land to farm. We were missionaries and preachers in Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri and Louisiana. We owned slaves and were abolitionists. We fought and died in the Mexican-American War. We were in Kentucky with Lincoln as a boy and in Springfield, Illinois when he was a young lawyer. And when he grew up, your ancestors, uncles and cousins came from Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Virginia and Tennessee to fight for and against him during the Civil War.

We were witnesses to some of the great events during the last sixty years of America's history. We served in Europe as it rebuilt, were government agents during the Cold War, and helped push computers into all corners of our society. We were in Dallas in 1962, in Chicago in 1968, and in Philadelphia on July 4, 1976 when our nation celebrated its two hundredth anniversary.
For all of our family, all of that history I am enormously thankful this Thanksgiving Day.

Area football teams ready to kick off season with new divisionsWritten by Staff Reports | | email@example.com
By Yaneek Smith, Toledo Free Press Staff Writer
Northwest Ohio, much like the rest of Ohio, is not short on quality football teams.
Last season, the three Toledo area conferences fielded four playoff teams, including a state champion (Central Catholic High School) and a state runner-up (Whitmer High School).
With some luck, 2013 could shape up to be an even better year for some area football teams.
Division changes
There were some changes made during the offseason to division formatting in Ohio high school football. After years of playing with six divisions, another division was added to make things more competitive. The new division breakdowns are:
- Division I – 608 or more boys (Findlay; Whitmer)
- Division II – 403 to 607 boys (Bowsher, Clay, Fremont Ross, Lima Senior, Start, St. John's, St. Francis)
- Division III – 281 to 402 boys (Central Catholic, Rogers, Waite, Woodward)
- Division IV – 213 to 280 boys (Scott)
- Division V – 156 to 212 boys
- Division VI – 112 to 155 boys (Gibsonburg, Northwood)
- Division VII – 111 boys and fewer (Cardinal Stritch, Danbury, Edon, Hilltop, Ottawa Hills, Toledo Christian)
Three Rivers Athletic Conference
In the Three Rivers Athletic Conference (TRAC), one of the state's best conferences, Whitmer and Central Catholic should fight it out for the top spot. The Panthers will be hoping to finally win that elusive state title and the Fighting Irish will try to repeat as state champions.
Findlay High School, which went 8-2 and just missed qualifying for the playoffs in 2012, will look to take the next step and win the league title. And St. John's Jesuit High School, which struggled to a 4-6 mark last season, is hoping to rebound and compete for a playoff spot.
Clay High School, which welcomes new coach Mike Lee, has a loaded senior class and, after years of steady improvement, could be ready to take the next step and finish with 6 to 8 wins. Chris Hedden, now in his second season at St. Francis de Sales High School, will look to lead the Knights back to prominence after going 10-20 during the past three years.
Fremont Ross High School, which just missed making it to the playoffs two years ago, could be a dark horse candidate to make some noise in the league while Lima Senior High School has yet to win a game in the conference in the first two years.
City League
In the City League (CL), Bowsher High School will look to repeat as conference champions after winning its first conference title since 1979. Last season, the Rebels, who were 6-4 overall, edged Start High School (5-5, 4-1 CL) 16-15 in the final game to win the league with a perfect 5-0 mark.
Rogers High School, which was 6-4 and 3-2 in the CL last season, hopes to return to top of the conference after a disappointing third-place finish last year. The Rams won the league title in 2011 and were hoping to repeat last season. Waite High School will be hoping to harness some momentum after winning its final two games last year. Scott and Woodward high schools round out the league.
Toledo Area Athletic Conference
The Toledo Area Athletic Conference (TAAC) returns two playoff teams in Northwood and Ottawa Hills high schools. Both teams lost in the opening round of the postseason last year, graduated a number of key players and are in something of a rebuilding mode.
Edon High School, which has won a combined 21 games during the past three years, could contend for the league title this season. Gibsonburg High School, led by junior quarterback Matt Tille, is another contender — or at the least could make some noise. Tille, a two-year starter, earned statewide recognition last season when he scored seven touchdowns in the Golden Bears' 57-7 win over Cardinal Stritch High School.
Toledo Christian High School, which made it to the playoffs in 2010, will look to bounce back after two tough years while Danbury and Hilltop high schools will look to take the next step and move up in the ranks of the conference. Cardinal Stritch will look to rebuild under new head coach Brian Wical, who had success as an assistant with Lima Central Catholic during the past five years.

Don't the four-week old Occupy Wall Street protesters deserve any attention from our nation's top leaders?
Thus far, only President Obama has made reference in his public speeches to the complaints, disparate as they may seem, of this growing number of discontented people who have launched rallies in at least 19 major cities.
Surely, it's time for the nation's leaders to meet with the Occupy Wall Street protesters and publicly address their grievances. The country's decision makers, most notably those in Congress, can't simply watch idly by and wish them away, as they appear to be doing.
The first thing President Obama could do is urge the protesters to form an advance group composed of their leaders or spokespersons so the White House can arrange for him to publicly address the increasingly restless Occupy Wall Street crowd and respond specifically to their concerns.
One of the major problems that most Americans feel is their utter sense of frustration and helplessness in the face of the mounting oppressive problems that the gasping economy and rudderless leadership in Congress have engendered. So this expanding public outcry shouldn't be surprising at all.
Those who want to minimize the Occupy Wall Street protesters, including New York City Mayor Bloomberg, aren't convinced about what the protest is all about, or its relevance. But their message is clear.
"The message — and the solutions — should be obvious to anyone who has been paying attention since the economy went into a recession that continues to sock the middle class while the rich have recovered and prospered," says The New York Times in an editorial on Sunday Oct. 9, 2011. "The problem is that nobody in Washington has been listening."
At this point, protest is the message, notes The Times: "Income inequality is grinding down that middle class, increasing the ranks of the poor, and threatening to create a permanent underclass of able, willing but jobless people."
Indeed, the huge number of young people enthusiastically participating in the protests reflect this disturbing prospect.
"On one level, the protesters most of them young, are giving voice to a generation of lost opportunity," notes The Times.
One of the loudest message from the protesters is that the nation's top leaders, especially those who have been elected to draft and pass helpful and sensible legislation to advance an economic recovery and provide gainful employment, have not been doing their job.
President Obama has asked Congress to approve his multibillion-dollar jobs bill specifically designed to stimulate the economy and create new jobs. Clearly, Congressional leaders should face up to that question and explain what they intend do with it, or at least come up with an alternative jobs plan.

The new iPad already facing supply shortages, new orders shipping in 1-3 weeks
Have you pre-ordered your new iPad yet? If not, you could be in for a bit of a wait. It seems that Apple have pushed back the shipping date in most counties. The Apple Store now displays 'Delivers between the 16th and the 20th March'. In the UK, it's even worse with '2-3 weeks'.
People in the US, have a little while longer to go yet; however Apple are warning that the new iPad is in 'limited supplies', so they could be seeing a delay very soon.
Did you manage to get your order in? If so, when are you expecting delivery

The new iPad already facing supply shortages, new orders shipping in 1-3 weeks
iPad is the biggest waste of money known to man. Just by a Playbook under $300 has way more functionality than this giant iPod touch. It has flash which the iPad Doesnt and You can even connect it to your big screen which is awesome and is also something iPad can't do unless u buy an overpriced adapter which can only do 4:3 not even 16:9. You isheep are so brainwashed over this crap..
daf*q are you doing on this website? just saying...
A douchie comment from an ignorant Canadian.
Pass the weed. I wanna be just as bombed as you.
Ordered mine last night, and got my email confirmation about 3 hours afterward.
Now waiting patiently...
Finally got on and placed an order for (2) iPads, (2) smart covers and (2) Apple-Care just before 5:00 p.m on 3/7/12. Got confirmation about 45 min later to be delivered on 3/16/12. Got Shipment notifications today on the (4) non-ipad items to arrive on March 14.
I must be lucky to have gotten on site and order the iPads, but I did just sit there and hit refresh until I got the order in. Must have had a couple dozen site being down warnings.
i'm a little nervous. I ordered at 4:30 got confirmation at 6. nothing else since then. it says processing items on the site.
I ordered mine right when the store reopened. Had trouble on a windows laptop, but had better luck on my iPhone. Still took an hour total between the two. Even with getting an engraving I already received my ups shipping notice early this morning. My first iPad, and I'm excited!
My email says that I should get it on 16th.
I got my shipping notice for my new iPad 3 HD ( what ever) this morning! Coming FedEx and with a tracking number!
I ordered my black 32GB 4g about 2 hours after CEO Tim Cook finished his speech. I live in northeastern U.S. What's strange is that my iPad has already arrived in Lousiville KY this Saturday morning. Does anyone know if you can receive the iPad before the 16th? Its pretty close to my home already!
I want text to speech converter in own voice source code.pls sent to my mail id.pls........
Really wonderful site thank you so much for your time in writing the posts for all of us to learn about.
Can I somehow embed this gallery to a page on my website, or at least be able to add a menu bar at the top and change the background color of the gallery?

Rated 3.7 out of 5Â by 23 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5Â by FPKaraK Beautiful great quality....but gosh awful fit.... The good Well I know a lot of folks complain about FP quality so with that said let me tell you that these are very well worth the price tag...quality wise. These are fantastic heavy, durable yet soft denim. These def look more then $150 esp with the patch work. I'm actually surprised they are so "cheap". The colors are true to studio photos, including the "dirty" on the bottom of the jeans. The bad :( Sadly, as cool as these bad boys look, they are an awful awful fit. These along with a new skinny destroyed have a new fit and they fit TERRIBLE. They have "FREE PEOPLE" printed across the buttons. I really hope this isn't a new manufacturing method because the new styles with the print on the buttons are AWFUL. They fit SUPER tight in the thighs, but huge in the waist. In fact, I got them on and buttoned. The back gaped yet it was super tight around my butt and the crotch was SO LOW but I def couldn't pull them any higher. Very awkward fit. Length: Well you obviously can see on the model and in the video this month, the pants are super long even on the 5'11 model in chunky platforms. I am pretty tall for an "average" girl. I am just under 5'7" and these were WAY too long. I would have to take off the entire hem if I wanted to purchase them. Doesn't that take away from the beauty of the pant? Overall: The quality is amazing, wash fantastic, but the fit is less then to be desired. If you are tall, with no butt and small thighs these will work, otherwise be sure to try these on! 4.9.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by alm7 Please re-do!!!! These pants are freaking amazing..in theory. I mean look at them, the patchwork, the wide flare. For a festival lovin hippie like me these are a dream come true. From the moment I saw these in the catalog, I knew they were trouble. To me, they didn't even appear to fit the model. So I went to my local store and I tried these on because I just had to see for myself, maybe I'd get lucky. These pants have a terrible fit. I'm 5'2, that's the first problem, these would be impossible to hem and no doubt necessary. I'm 105 llbs. I normally wear 25. Here's the thing, they ray large around my waste and small around my legs? The inseam is all wrong. The crotch falls way too low and is kinda tight. The girls at the store all agreed they had the same issues. I so wish FP would re-do these, but get the fit right. 5.2.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by pistols Cute, but huge. I love these jeans and get a lot of compliments on them, but they are humongous. Based on the measurements and other reviewers, I bought a size 27 and definitely should have gone with a 25. However, being that they have that casual hippie look to them, they work being baggy just as well (with a belt). That said, I do wish I would have exchanged them for the correct size, but I ripped the tag off in my excitement and am stuck with huge jeans. 12.5.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by bcdesign Just need to work with these a little I agree with what other reviewers said about the fit being weird, but they are workable for me. I might need to wear a belt to keep them from slipping down and I will probably where a longer shirt to cover the weird waist but the legs are the best part and they are ADORABLE! The thighs do fit slim but I think it makes my legs look skinny so I like that! If you are willing to work with them they are adorbs! 10.3.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by kandlmoran2003 Crazy Long, Super Tight Thighs I tried these on at a local Free People store where they are on sale for $37.50. Even at that price I didn't want them. The thighs were so tiny and they were long enough that I could have cut off the entire bottom above where they are seamed and they still would have been long (I'm 5'7"). The rise is really high, so they kind of fit like they were made for a guy. I have a friend who is almost 6' tall and about 110 pounds... these would be awsome on her...or Barbie...For the rest of us...eh. 7.5.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by MamaSquish AMAZING!! So I just got these in the mail today and immediately put them on, and I haven't taken them off!! These jeans are AMAZING and exactly what I was hoping for!!!! Denim is great quality, perfectly faded, comfy but NOT stretchy (I hate freaking stretch denim. I want some real jeans, thanks) and I could not be happier. I know some folks have taken issue with the fit, but I recently had a baby and I'm carrying extra weight around my middle/upper hips, and it's SO hard for me to find pants that fit...but these TOTALLY worked. Very comfortable and totally flattering, I'm kind of an unusual shape and I needed some pants with an unusual fit. They're long but it's workable. Love. For reference, I'm 5'8', 180 lbs, got size 31. 4.16.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by TaniaM SUPER CUTE BUT AWFUL FIT! So because I read the reviews before I ordered, I sized up. I normally wear a size 27 or 28 in free people jeans and I ordered a size 29. I am 5'7. They are so cute and exactely as pictured, but the fit, HORRIBLE. The waist is big and the thighs are tighter but because I sized up they are fine. I just wear a belt and Voila, they work out great. Still very long but I wear my high platforms with them. If you dont like wearing platforms ( High ones) then dont bother getting this jean because the cost to alter them is not worth it because you want to keep the cute way they are at the bottom. Just size up and wear a belt. If you like a bell bottom fun pair of jeans you have never seen before, get them:-) 4.15.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by oceanwishes Super Cute Awful Fit I have to agree with the other reviewer. I got these in the mail today and was unbelievably excited as they were on back order when I purchased them. The look and color are amazing and exactly what I've been looking for in a flare. That being said when I put them on the thighs were comfortable the butt was huge and the waist was massive. Even with a belt the pants bunch and look funny for such a high waisted style. They fit right at the belly button. I am disappointed but hopeful that if I just size down about 2 sizes they will fit the way they are supposed to. I am still very in love with these jeans and will attempt to keep them just in a smaller size. Oh and they are very long. On my 5'8 frame I could still lose about 2 inches off the bottom while in a platform. 4.12.2012

Few issues in the history of the modern corporation have attracted the international attention garnered by what the largest corporations pay their top executives. Fueled by disclosure requirements, and human curiosity and envy, analyzing and criticizing CEO pay has been a popular sport among business pundits for decades. Currently, however, we are in the midst of a reexamination of CEO pay that has more than the usual amount of energy and more than the usual amount of substance. While some observers believe that the trends in the level and structure of CEO pay reflect an increasingly competitive labor market for managerial talent, others contend that the trends reflect powerful and greedy CEOs extracting high levels of compensation from complacent (and friendly) boards of directors. In his Athenaeum talk, Kevin Murphy will explore the underlying causes of the trends in CEO pay, concluding that many trends are best explained not by efficient contracting or managerial power, but rather as unintended consequences from failed government attempts to reign in perceived pay "excesses." More broadly, Murphy argues that any attempt to explain CEO pay is incomplete without an understanding of the role of politics in constraining and influencing contracts written between executives and shareholders.
Professor Murphy is a nationally known expert on executive compensation, and is the author of more than forty articles, cases, books, or book chapters relating to compensation and incentives in organizations. He helped the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission formulate disclosure rules for top management pay. His study examining the salary trends of top executives, published in 2000, set a benchmark in finance research. He has provided commentary on corporate pay reform to The New York Times, Los Angeles Times and Boston Globe, among other media.
He appeared before a Congressional oversight panel hearing on 2010 to assess the effectiveness of executive compensation restrictions for companies that received TARP funds. Murphy previously appeared before the House Financial Services Committee in June 2009 to discuss executive compensation, his field of expertise.
Murphy received his Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Chicago in 1984 and his BA, summa cum laude, from UCLA in 1979. From 2004 to 2007, he served as Vice Dean for Faculty and Academic Affairs at the Marshall School. Before joining USC, Professor Murphy was on the faculty of the University of Rochester and Harvard Business School.
Kevin Murphy will deliver the annual McKenna Lecture on International Trade and Economics, which is also the occasion for presenting awards to outstanding students in economics.

It is not too late to sign up for the April 12-13 retreat, and interested parties should contact the Jones County/Gray Chamber of Commerce for registration applications.
All five members of the Jones County Board of Commissioners have signed up to attend the retreat, which makes it the perfect opportunity for attendees to meet and get acquainted with the board's two new members, Daylon Martin and Jonathan Pitts.
Pitts and Martin are looking at many county issues for the first time and are bringing new ideas to the table.
The retreat begins Friday, April 12, with a visit to Statesboro's Splash in the Boro water park to see firsthand how the public/private partnership is working.
The water park is an example of the economic development opportunities of tourism and, according to an economic impact study of the facility, has had a positive impact on the Bulloch County economy since its 2009 opening.

Best Uses
I have been wearing Smartwool socks for a long time. They seem to have changed the materials they use over the years and these socks are not as high quality wool as I have had in the past, but they are still good. Just not as soft. The color on this pair is lovely.
Best Uses
I like to walk and there's nothing better than a comfy sock inside my sneaker, especially a warm comfy sock on the colder days. I don't normally wear wool next to my skin , but the merino wool in these socks is so fine and silky that you wouldn't know that it's wool.
The fit is phenomenal ... with just the right amount of stretch to hug your foot.
