WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Congress' highest-ranking black lawmaker says he suspects Republicans are pillorying U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice because she is black.
Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., and other black Democrats say they're especially upset Republicans continually use variations of the word "incompetent" to describe Rice, 48, a potential secretary of state nominee who was a Rhodes scholar, Clinton administration assistant secretary of state and Brookings Institution senior fellow. At Brookings she focused on U.S. foreign policy, weak and failing states, the implications of global poverty and transnational threats to security.
Republicans have harshly criticized her for more than two months for saying Sept. 16 the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, began as a "spontaneous reaction" to an anti-Islamic video widely disseminated throughout the Arab and Muslim world that had also set off protests elsewhere.
Later State Department accounts made no mention of a protest in the attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. Instead, they pointed to the extremist Ansar al-Sharia militia, as well as al-Qaida's North African arm, al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb.
Intelligence officials said such a lag was typical of the ever-changing process of piecing together shreds of information into a coherent picture fit for officials' public statements.
Rice later said her characterization was based on CIA talking points given to her in briefings.
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said Sunday David Petraeus, CIA director at the time, told lawmakers Sept. 12 the attack was terrorism.
Clyburn, the third-ranking House Democrat after Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Minority Whip Steny Hoyer- D-Md., told The Washington Post Tuesday disputing Rice's remarks is one thing, but calling her incompetent amounts to using racial "code words."
"We in the South know what that means," he said. "I take offense when people use those words. I have a problem with them.
"They are going to disagree with Rice's politics, but if they do, just say she's wrong," Clyburn told the Post. "When you apply the word 'incompetent,' that personalizes this thing. It goes beyond politics because it's about who and what she is -- it's character assassination."
His statement was similar to comments made Friday by new Congressional Black Caucus Chairwoman Rep. Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio, who suggested Rice was targeted by the GOP for her race and sex.
House terrorism subcommittee Chairman Jeff Duncan, R-S.C., sent a letter to President Barack Obama Monday saying Rice's public comments after the Benghazi attack "caused irreparable damage to her credibility both at home and around the world."
The letter, signed by 96 other House Republicans, said Rice "either willfully or incompetently misled the American public in the Benghazi matter."
It said replacing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with Rice as "the face of U.S. foreign policy" in Obama's second term "would greatly undermine your desire to improve U.S. relations with the world and continue to build trust with the American people."
Duncan was out of the country and unavailable for comment, but Duncan spokesman Allen Klump told the Post Clyburn's suggestions of racism were "baseless, false and disappointing."

Breaking News
Jennifer Lopez just announced ... she will NOT be returning to "American Idol" next season.
JLo called in to Ryan Seacrest this morning, saying, "I honestly feel like the time has come that I have to get back to doing the other things that I do."
She said, "Something has to give" ... adding, "We had an amazing run."
Lopez made the announcement a day after Steven Tyler bailed from the show. And there is a strong buzz that Randy Jackson may not be coming back either, leaving Ryan Seacrest the last man standing on the show, which has lost a third of its ratings in the last year.
Obviously, producers now have to make a decision that will make or break the show.

Grade/evaluate participation/contributions
Currently, GradeKeeper is the software most widely used for grading at Middlebury. Microsoft Excel is also used for this purpose. Gradekeeper and other desktop applications like it essentially allow instructors to:
- Create a list of students
- Create a list of "gradeable" items
- Categorize these items
- Assign each item a point score.
In addition to this basic functionality, many grading applications will also map point scores to letter grades, give different weights to different categories (i.e. make some categories worth more points than others) and export out grades in "tab-delimited" format or formats specific to particular applications.
The Curricular Technology team is currently evaluating other tools for grading, rating and evaluating participation and contributions of an individual or group of individuals (e.g. course, team, group project...etc). One tool that is in limited use at Middlebury is Measure, which is an instance of Moodle that is configured specifically for creating online quizzes (formative assessments) and exams (summative assessments).
If you would like to Measure for creating online quizzes or exams, contact: Alex Chapin (email@example.com). Also contact Alex if you would like to participate in defining the functional requirements for grading tools at Middlebury or evaluate grading tools being considered for use at the college.
What you need:
You will need a copy of Gradekeeper or Excel or other software designed for grading or that has functionality for creating rows and columns of data.
How you do it:
Whatever tool you use, you'll need to add the names of all your students. Desktop applications like Gradekeeper or Excel will let you type in names or copy and paste them. If you are using Excel, put student names in the first column of your spreadsheet. Then you will need to add "gradable" items (in Excel, each"gradable" item would have its own column). Finally you would need to assign point values to each gradable item.
Tips and suggestions:
- Use simple values for point score
- convert point scores to percentages

As I mentioned to you this morning...when I get away in a little bit of a break from the intensity of the normal pressures of ministry, I do some reading and even do some thinking. Sort of outside the...the boundaries of constant preparation for sermons. I'm very much aware of the fact that unconverted people don't understand Christianity.
In 1 Corinthians chapter 2 in verse 14, the Apostle Paul says, "But a natural man"...That's a man in his natural condition...an unspiritual man...a man outside the Kingdom of God, an unregenerate man, an unconverted man or woman, for that matter...does not accept the things of the Spirit of God...and it isn't just that they don't accept 'em. It is that...they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised...or spiritually examined." Now this is a reality. Unconverted people...look at the cross. Look at the Christian Gospel, the Christian faith, and it appears as foolishness to them. Of course, they are spiritually dead in trespasses and sin. They are spiritually blind, blinded by the God of this world, blinded by their own sinfulness. They are deaf to the voice of God. They are ignorant of their condition and of the truth of God. And so...the Gospel appears to them to be foolish. Even when they would study it, perhaps with some vigor, it might continue to look foolish to them, because, in the Gospel message, there are contained so many contrasts.
I don't wanna speak to you a long time tonight. In fact, just a short time, but I've been thinking about this quite a while, and, as I was flying back to southern California on Friday from up in Canada, where we were, I started writing down the things that make the Gospel appear foolish. Things like this: A king who becomes a servant. A king who exchanges the crown of glory for a crown of thorns. The eternal God...who fills all the vastness of the limitless universe, confined to a human body. The God who is outside time. The Creator of time, subject to 33 years of life. The eternal Giver of Life who dies...on the surface, all of that seems paradoxical, if not downright contradictory. The righteous judge...the holy and righteous judge who becomes the guilty criminal's advocate...the holy executioner of sinners who becomes the Savior of sinners. The God who measures all men against the perfection of His law...and decides to forgive sinners all the violations.
And it isn't just...those matters which have to do with God that appear so contradictory and so difficult. It is matters that have to do with God's revelation. God has given us Scripture, and Scripture is a law which provides complete freedom from sin. And the truth of Scripture obeyed is a freedom which is a form of slavery to righteousness. Even when you look at believers' lives...we are enemies who become sons. We are outcasts who become aristocrats. We are the poor who become rich. We are the bankrupt who are made joint heirs with Christ and will inherit all eternal glories. We are the criminals who become judges...We are the haters of God who become the lovers of God. We are the one God...the ones God hates...and then loves. We are...souls born twice. We are dying people who live forever...We live lives...subject to death...and yet we conquer death. We are the constantly defeated who become more than conquerors. We are heroes who rejoice in our weaknesses. We are the world's despised...whom the Lord honors forever. We are part of a Kingdom on earth that has a capital city in Heaven. We are just a humble little flock...and yet we are kings and priests unto our God.
And all of this, for us, is made possible by the humanly incomprehensible reality that the Giver of Life gave up His life that the dead might live. Now, there are many other things that could be said, and I'm working on another list. But therein lies something of the apparent paradoxical nature of our faith. And a natural person looking at that, hearing me say all of this, could easily be mystified. People cannot understand the Gospel. The natural man cannot understand it, and it appears to him to be foolish, contradictory...unreasonable, illogical...because it is spiritually discerned, and he is spiritually dead.
But I would venture to say that you all understood everything I was saying, didn't you? You understand all of that, because you understand the Gospel. It isn't that you're so brilliant that you understand it. It is, as it says in verse 14, it is spiritually examined. And then verse 15, "He who is spiritual appraises all things." He who is spiritual is that one who has come out of that natural condition into a spiritual life by virtue of the mighty work of God in his soul or her soul. And for those of us who have received that work of God and been made alive and had the blinders taken off so that we could see, and our ears unstopped so that we could hear, and our minds opened so that we could understand, for us...we have, verse 16 says, "The mind of Christ."
To me, that is as magnanimous a statement as can be made in Scripture about believers. We have the mind of Christ. We can understand...all about a king who became a servant, all about that king who exchanged a crown of glory for a crown of thorns. We can understand the Eternal God who dies and is the Giver of All Life. The righteous judge who becomes the criminal's advocate. The holy executioner of sinners who becomes their Savior. We can understand that. We can understand a law that provides freedom from sin, and a freedom that is slavery to righteousness. We understand what it means to be an aristocrat, when once you were an outcast. A son when once you were an enemy. The heir of eternal glory when once you were bankrupt. Rich when once you were poor. A judge when once you were a criminal. A friend of God when once you were His enemy. Beloved of God when once hated. We can understand what it means to be born twice. We can understand that we are, though dying in this world, going to live forever. And, though, in the physical realm death conquers, in the spiritual realm, life conquers. We know what it is to be constantly defeated and, yet, more than conquerors through Christ. And we know what it is to be a hero because we rejoice in our weaknesses. We understand that we are but a little fly, and yet kings and priests to God, part of a heavenly Kingdom on earth, with a capital city in Heaven. And we understand that, because we understand the great Gospel truth that the Giver of Life gave up His life that the dead might live.
Now, all of that is basic to us. That is the glory of the Kingdom. It's incomprehensibility to anybody who doesn't have the mind of Christ, doesn't think that way...What a privilege has been granted to all of us who are believers to have been given the mind of Christ.
Now, I don't wanna lead you into some kind of mystical assumptions about the mind of Christ. The mind of Christ is this book. You know, there are many who would talk about the mind of Christ, and they would assume that having the mind of Christ is...is some mystical experience in which you are sort of...transcendentally led into thinking the way Jesus thinks. Or some would say today, that having the mind of Christ means you get prophecies from Christ or revelations from Christ, and you articulate them. That's not what it means.
To have the mind of Christ means to think the way He thinks. And we know exactly how He thinks, because He's revealed what He thinks here. Is that not true? Is this the Word of God? Is Christ God? Then this is the Word of God, the Word of Christ. That's why Paul in Colossians said, "Let the Word of Christ dwell in you...what?...richly." As the Word of Christ dwells in you richly, you have the mind of Christ. And those things that appear to be conundrums, those things that appear to be paradoxes, those things that appear to be contradictions, those things that appear to be mysteries...are very clear to us...because the Lord has transformed our lives and opened our minds to the wonderful ministry of the Holy Spirit.
Really, all of the incredible glories of the Kingdom, many more than I've mentioned to you tonight...take us back to one great reality, and that is the cross. 'Cause it's when you look at the cross, that you see it all come together. There, the Eternal God, the Giver of Life, dies. There the great judge becomes the criminal's advocate, actually becomes the criminal's substitute. There the great executioner becomes the great Savior and so forth. And it is in that act on the cross that enemies become friends and rebels become sons and haters of God become lovers of God and so forth and so forth.
It is that credible glory of the cross that permeates all other elements of the Gospel and of the Christian faith. It's critical for us to understand that we have, in having the Word of God, access to these immense glories. They are not available to the unconverted. Not at all.
Back in chapter 1 verse 18, 1 Corinthians, "The word of the cross...Paul says...is to those who are perishing foolishness." There's the same idea again. People who don't know the Lord, who don't have spiritual life, who are in their natural condition, look at this as absolute foolishness. But to us, who are being saved, going from justification through sanctification to glorification, it is the power of God. In the end, verse 19 says, "The wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever will be destroyed." The wisest and the most educated and the most profound in the world can make no contribution to ultimate spiritual truth. "Where is the wise man?...verse 20...Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?...and in verse 21, this is why the wisdom of the word...world is so useless, because...in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn't come to know God...
You can take all the brain trusts of the history of humanity, and they can't collectively or individually come to know God. The only way to come to know God, it says in that same verse, "God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the Gospel or the message preached to save those who believe."
And that's why, down in chapter 2 verse 1, Paul says, "When I came, brethren, I didn't come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. I just determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him...what?...crucified." It's...it's that Gospel that saves. It's that Gospel that gives life. It's that Gospel that brings transformation. It's the Gospel of the cross. And when the transformation comes, then all these mysteries that we've talked about become clear, because we receive the mind of Christ.
It really is an immense reality to think about. We know how God thinks...we know how God thinks. We know how Christ thinks, because the pages of Scripture reveal it. What God says is a reflection of what God thinks...and that is precisely what the Scripture is.

The Trend Research Team of DHL Customer Solutions and Innovation has recently launched a new trend report, entitled Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Logistics to take a fully grounded look at the role of these devices in our near-future. It deals with current capabilities and circumstances, exploring the positive potential as well as the existing limitations of UAVs.
Flight of Fancy or a Fascinating New Feature of Modern Living?
Recent worldwide media attention has put unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in the spotlight. The key question that needs to be answered is: Is this just a hype or are there substantial benefits that this new technology can bring to the logistics industry. Three impacts are at work here – technological capability, regulatory pressure, and public acceptance – and this report highlights the interplay between all three in current applications drawn from various sectors, including the logistics industry. In exploring such an intriguing topic, this report is likely to raise issues and questions for many readers. This latest trend report explores different potential applications in logistics and gives an indication how feasible the different use cases are on the horizon of the next 5-10 years.
Applications That Are Discussed Include:
- Urban First and Last Mile Delivery
- Rural Delivery
- Surveillance of Logistic Infrastructures
- Use for Intralogistics
DHL warmly invites you to visit the DHL Innovation Center in Germany which showcases proven UAV technologies. Please come and discuss your needs and joint development opportunities with us.

Lone survivor in Spring mass shooting released from hospital
Cassidy Stay, the lone survivor of Wednesday's shooting massacre in Spring that killed her parents and four siblings, was released from the hospital on Friday.
The 15-year-old is expected to make a full recovery, according to a statement released by Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital.
Through the hospital, her relatives "thanked the community, both here in Houston and all over the country, for the outpouring of love and support they have received these past several days."
The girl's family has asked anyone wishing to help to visit www.gofundme.com/Stay-Family-Tragedy to offer additional support.
Those who died in the attack were 39-year-old real estate agent Stephen Stay and Katie Stay, 34, as well as their youngest children: Bryan, 13; Emily, 9; Rebecca, 7; and Zach, 4. Friends described the Stays as loving neighbors who lived to serve their community.
Ronald Lee Haskell, a 33-year-old Utah man who was married to Cassidy Stay's maternal aunt, has been charged with capital murder. He appeared in court on Friday morning and collapsed upon hearing the criminal accusations against him.

In 1940, David Ross, a sergeant in the Canadian Army, reports for duty at a British wartime naval port. There Wadlow, the head of operations, explains that David is to command one of the vessels in a fleet of tugboats that is assigned to rescue crippled British war ships. David is pleasantly surprised to be reunited with his old friend Chris Ford, who is also serving as a tugboat commander. While David's boat is being refitted in dry dock, Chris invites him on a mission to rescue a "lame duck" ship. Unused to sea duty, David is sickened by the rough waters and the realization that the tug's only protection is an antiquated machine gun. After a close call with a German submarine, the tug rescues the crippled ship and tows it back to port. With their mission completed, Chris invites David to accompany him to the flat he shares with a woman named Stella. Stella, who seems paralyzed by grief, responds to David's complaint that his uniform jacket is too tight by going to her closet and pulling out another jacket with the name "Van Barger" sewn into it. As Stella hands the jacket to David, she stares at a photograph of her dead fiancé. Later, when Chris, unnerved by the perilous mission, begins to shake uncontrollably, he tells Stella that he is going drinking with David. At a bar, David, who is puzzled by the wedding ring that Stella wears, learns from Chris that her fiancé, tugboat captain Philip Wylie, was killed the day before their wedding. Philip had given the key to the flat to a tugboat captain named Van Barger, who took over the flat after Philip's death. Stella, in despair, stayed on, and was passed to Chris, along with the key, after Van Barger's death. When Chris gives David the key to the flat, David refuses to take it until Chris explains that he promised Van Barger that he would pass it along to another tug man who would look after Stella. Upon returning to the flat, Chris tells Stella that he is pessimistic about surviving the war and asks her to marry him. Stella, who identifies all tug men with her dead fiancé, accepts. That night, David checks into a hotel where he occupies a bed vacated by a recently deceased tug man. The next morning, David meets Van Dam, the captain with whom he will rotate command of the tug. The seasoned Van Dam advises David that "the enemy within is the one that matters." After meeting his crew, David takes the tug out for maneuvers and gradually earns their respect. At the flat that night, Stella tells David that she and Chris are to be married. To celebrate, Chris opens a bottle of wine but accidentally shoves the cork into the bottle, thus splattering red wine all over his shirt. Stella reacts with horror because the wine reminds her of blood. The party comes to an abrupt end when Chris is called to duty and Stella, who has not left the flat since the death of her fiancé, insists on accompanying him to the pier, where she breaks into tears. David is also dispatched to rescue a burning freighter, and when he returns to port, he learns that Chris has been killed. With Chris's demise, his first mate, Kane, is promoted to captain. When David tells Stella of Chris's death, she impassively asks to stay on at the flat until the end of the month. After David insists that she keep the flat, she fatalistically responds "they are all the same," leading David to believe that Stella is a common prostitute unable to love anyone. Some time later, when the gun on David's tugboat once again jams, David demands that it be replaced, prompting Wadlow to tell him that they will never get new guns and that the German submarine that has been menacing his tug is a training ship using the tug for target practice. The news unsettles David, and that night, he returns to the flat drunk and announces "here comes another one." After putting David to bed, Stella sleeps in the other room, and the next morning, David has the key duplicated. After returning from another rescue mission one night, David has a nightmare, and as Stella comforts him, they kiss. Soon after, Wadlow phones the flat with the news that the United States has entered the war. Elated by the news, David kisses Stella, who then calls out Philip's name and breaks down. After David goes to report to headquarters, Stella slips off her wedding ring and leaves the flat. When David returns, he finds that the old uniforms have been removed from the closet. Just then, Stella comes home laden with packages. Begging her never to leave again, David hands her the extra key and proposes. On Christmas Eve, Stella gives David a note that says "I love you." Later, when David uses a newspaper to light a fire, Stella becomes distraught when a photo of a tug boat on the front page goes up in flames. Their celebration is interrupted by air raid sirens, sending them scurrying to a shelter, and when they return to the flat, Stella is unsettled to see the charred remains of the newspaper. When David is called to duty, Stella begs him not to go and he defiantly asserts that he is "not like the others." At headquarters, David listens in dismay as an inexperienced American freighter captain breaks the code of silence and broadcasts an SOS over the radio. Aware that the broadcast has alerted the enemy to the ship's position, thus turning the assignment into a suicide mission, David refuses to go, but the silent disapproval of the staff forces him to reconsider. As he stands on the ship's bridge, David, aware that he is facing death, sees Kane walking on the pier below and tosses him the key. At sea, a German submarine surfaces and shells the tug, setting it on fire. After ordering his crew to abandon ship, David stays aboard to ram the submarine and jumps overboard just before the collision. At headquarters, Kane hears a radio report that the tug has blown up and goes to tell Stella. When he enters the flat, Stella is devastated that David would have treated her like all the rest and turned the key over to Kane. After David and several of his crew are rescued by the freighter and returned to port, he rushes to the flat. Disillusioned by David's breach of faith, Stella refuses to forgive him and orders him to leave. Soon after, Kane finds David in a bar and tells him that Stella has boarded a train to London. Running to the station, David bursts through the gates and jumps onto the train as it pulls away from the platform. When he walks into Stella's compartment, she smiles.

Politics & Government
Tea party activist Milton Wolf will challenge Sen. Pat Roberts in Kansas
U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts of Kansas now has a tea party opponent.
Leawood radiologist Milton Wolf, 42, announced Tuesday evening that he will oppose the veteran lawmaker in next year's Republican primary.
Wolf made the announcement before 300 cheering supporters at the Ritz Charles in south Overland Park.
"Senator Roberts, we're here to tell you that it's time for a change," he said, later adding, "No one should be in the Congress for four decades."
Roberts began serving in the House in 1981 and started in the Senate in 1997.
In a statement, Roberts' campaign manager, Leroy Towns, said the incumbent is ready for the challenge.
"Dr. Wolf will have many questions to answer regarding his position on major issues," Towns said. "Because he is unknown to most Kansas Republicans, he also will need to answer important questions regarding his qualifications, his medical business, including patient privacy issues and the extent his business relies on government payments."
Wolf — a cousin of President Barack Obama — is well known among conservatives and tea party activists. He has been mentioned on Rush Limbaugh's radio show, has appeared on various Fox News programs and writes a conservative-leaning column.
He now becomes the latest challenger to a GOP senator. In 2012, several tea party activists took on more established Republican candidates, with varying degrees of success.
Wolf's primary challenge resembles similar decisions by Republicans in other states — some successful, some not.
In 2012, Richard Mourdock upset Sen. Richard Lugar in Indiana, but Mourdock eventually lost the general election to Democrat Joe Donnelly.
U.S. Rep. Todd Akin was generally considered the most conservative candidate in a three-person field in Missouri's 2012 GOP primary for the U.S. Senate, and he won his party's nomination. But he lost in November to Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Democrat.
In 2014, a tea party candidate will challenge Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican. Sen. Lindsey Graham, also a Republican, faces a tea party opponent in South Carolina's primary.
Many mainstream GOP activists worry that tea party challengers like Wolf will cost incumbents time and money that might be better spent battling Democratic opponents, or used to shore up candidacies in other states.
It isn't clear whether Wolf's candidacy poses a significant problem for Roberts, who so far has not drawn a serious Democratic challenger.
Roberts, 77, is expected to be well financed. He had almost $1.5 million in his campaign bank account at the end of June, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
"It's hard to imagine Roberts being seriously tested by Mr. Wolf," said Burdett Loomis, a political science professor at the University of Kansas.
Loomis also pointed to Roberts' long list of endorsements from Kansas Republicans, including Gov. Sam Brownback, all four U.S. House members and U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran.
Wolf downplayed that backing Tuesday.
"I seek your endorsement," he told the crowd.
In his speech, Wolf sharply criticized Roberts for his votes to raise the federal debt limit and to confirm the nomination of former Kansas governor Kathleen Sebelius to be health and human services secretary.

Amy Adams arrived, Darren Le Gallo at her side, best-actress award in hand. Christoph Waltz, her "Big Eyes" co-star, had called Adams "extraordinary" at Audi's pre-Golden Globes party. "See, I told you," he said with a smile as he joined her.

Based on an eye witness report, the following is the official statement regarding the missing crew and aircraft:
"On 30 March 1944, F/O David and crew took off in airplane #42-48752 with formation from Torokina at 0840L for scheduled bombing mission on Truk Islands. Over target formation was intercepted by thirty (30) or forty (40) enemy fighters, which gave a running fight for one hour and fifteen (15) minutes. Other gunners saw tracers going through this airplane. Plane was last seen entering cloud cover at end of fight with interceptors. One message was received from F/O David giving an ETA of 1820L at Green and that his IFF and command were out. On return from target many severe frontal areas were penetrated by formation. F/O David never landed at destination. Area was thoroughly searched, but neither traces of the plane nor crew were sighted."

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun – Ancestral Name Roulette
by Sherry Stocking Kline
February 19, 2012
It's Saturday Night! (well, an hour ago it was!) Time to play the Saturday Night Genealogy Fun Game with Randy Seaver at GeneaMusings.com
Saturday Night Genealogy Fun – Ancestral Name RouletteIt's Saturday Night again – time for some more Genealogy Fun!!
Here is your assignment if you choose to play along (cue the Mission Impossible music, please!):
1) What year was your paternal grandfather born? Divide this number by 100 and round the number off to a whole number. This is your "roulette number."
2) Use your pedigree charts or your family tree genealogy software program to find the person with that number in your ancestral name list (some people call it an "ahnentafel"). Who is that person?
3) Tell us three facts about that person in your ancestral name list with the "roulette number."
4) Write about it in a blog post on your own blog, in a Facebook status or a Google Stream post, or as a comment on this blog post.
5) If you do not have a person's name for your "roulette number" then spin the wheel again – pick a grandmother, or yourself, a parent, a favorite aunt or cousin, or even your children!
My paternal grandfather, Elmer Leverett Stocking, was born in 1879. Divide that by 100, and you get 18.79, rounded up to 19.
So, I went to my family tree program, used the Ahnentafel program, and there she was, my #19.
19. Hannah "Juline" BROOKS: born 29 May 1839 in Williamstown, MA; died 4 Jan 1899 in 6712 Wabash, Chicago, Cook Co., Il..
Hannah "Juline" Brooks married Edward Hitchcock 18 Sept 1856 in Davenport, Scott County, IA, and died in Chicago while visiting her son. Juline was my Great-grandmother, Frances "Fanny" Hitchcock's mother.
Fanny married my great-grandfather, Roderick Remine Stocking in Crescent City, Iroquois County, Illinois, on 3 May 1876, and they moved to Kansas shortly afterwards where they homesteaded in Sumner County, Kansas. My paternal grandfather, Elmer Leverett, was Fanny and Roderick's first born. Frances, Roderick, and Elmer are all buried in the Osborne Cemetery near Mayfield, Sumner County, Kansas.

Today is a beautiful, apple-icious day!
I love Spring. It just may be my favorite season. It and Summer. The Fall is pretty nice too. It's winter I'm not so fond of. The snow is pretty, it's the cold I have issues with, though I know some people like it. This week has been filled with mild temperatures and bright sunny days. It's almost like a pre-cursor of what's to come. My husband reported seeing his first Robin already and the Killdeer are quickly taking up residence here. The thing I love most about Spring is feeling the warmth of the sun on my face and I 'm so looking forward to the heady scent of apple blossoms wafting from the trees. That and flowers popping up everywhere, getting re-acquainted with my Spring bulbs, fresh green grass and buds on the trees. I have to admit it's been a mild winter here in Ontario, even by my standards, and it seems almost too good to be true, that Spring is officially just a week away. So this may seem rather odd, especially since we've just sprung our clocks forward an hour in anticipation of Spring, but I'm going to ask you to indulge me for just a moment.
Remember the Fall.
It wasn't all that long ago, really.
Think falling leaves, warm winds and crisp green apples.
Or curly haired sheep with beautiful blue eyes and straw on their forheads.
Or pink pig caramel apples with candy watermelon slice ears, m&m eyes and a marshmallow snout.
Fall for me always includes a county fair or two and a delicious caramel apple. Or two. I know some of you worry about all that messiness. Not me. No Siree. I'm all for messy, when messy tastes that good.
I love the crispness of the apple and the chewiness of the thick caramel followed by the deliciousness of the chocolate and crunchy peanut coating. Mmmm, so good.
I made this yummy treat last week and it reminds me of all of that minus the chocolate but with peanut butter, apples, Skor bits, caramel and chopped peanuts all on a sugar cookie crust, and sprinkled lightly with cinnamon, you won't miss it. This Apple Caramel Cookie Pizza is a delicious treat and will be sure to delight young and old alike.
It combines the flavours of "Fall Fair" caramel apples on a delightful sugar cookie crust that is so yummy and delicious, it will literally disappear before your very eyes. Seriously.
You'll be, like, wait a minute — where's the Apple Caramel Cookie Pizza I just made? No seriously, is this a joke?
So my advice is, cut yourself a generous piece before serving, because as soon as you turn around, it will instantly disappear ~ it's that good.
Now you can go back to blue skies and the sweet smell of Spring. Oh, that does sound good, doesn't it!! Happy, happy, happy!
Apple Caramel Cookie Pizza
Slightly adapted from Taste of Home Magazine
Serves 8
3/4 cup refrigerated sugar cookie dough
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons Skor pieces (optional)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 medium tart apple, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped unsalted peanuts
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup caramel topping, warmed
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1. Pat cookie dough into a pie pan or lay it on a pizza pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 °F for 12 -14 minutes or until slightly brown around the edges. Cool completely.
2. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, brown sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla. Add Skor pieces and stir. Spread over sugar cookie crust. Arrange apple slices on top in a circle. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and dust with cinnamon. Drizzle with warmed caramel topping and cut into wedges to serve.
To prevent the apple slices from browning, I brushed them with a pastry brush dipped in a solution of 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon water.
Homemade Caramel Sauce
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup whipping cream
1/4 tsp vanilla
1. Place the water and sugar into a small, heavy saucepan over medium high heat. Cook undisturbed until the sugar starts to color around the edges. Gently swirl the pot to even out the color and continue to cook only until the mixture turns a light amber. Immediately remove the pan from the heat.
2. At arm's length, gradually stir in the heavy cream. Be careful as it will bubble up. Stir until the caramel is smooth. When the bubbles subside, stir in the vanilla extract.
Like all caramel, this sauce thickens considerably as it cools. It can be made ahead and refrigerated, then reheated for a few seconds in the microwave or on the stove over low heat. The sauce will be quite stiff when cold and will thin as it warms.
Caramel sauce can be kept covered and refrigerated until the best-by date stamped on the cream carton.

Welcome to UCF! The Faculty Center provides you with much of the important general information you need as an adjunct. Your individual departments will also have specific information and processes necessary to your work. Contact your Chair or adjunct coordinator to learn other essentials as soon as possible.
Please also download a copy of the Faculty Center's Teaching at UCF reference book. It provides an overview of the faculty support structure at UCF as well as introductory materials related to university teaching. It is a living document and is updated regularly.
The UCF Faculty Center holds training sessions for adjunct faculty once per semester, covering both nuts-and-bolts (rosters, legal matters, syllabi) and more general pedagogy (how to hold effective and interesting lectures, increase student engagement, and build courses that are balanced and aligned between goals, objectives, assignments, and teaching practice). Check out events going on for adjuncts here.
Adjuncts at UCF are hired by individual departments. As with all hiring processes, the Adjunct hiring process requires that several forms be completed and advanced through a system that includes your home department and the Human Resources Department. Your driver's license and Social Security card will be photocopied at your department.
Forms you will need to complete include:
Other forms that must be generated by your department:
Questions about your hiring should be directed to the adjunct coordinator in your department.
As part of your hiring process, you will be assigned several identifiers:
Empl-ID (employee ID): a 7-digit number used by payroll and other internal UCF systems
UCFID: following the single-login initiative, this identifier replaces the previous PID and is identical to the 7-digit Empl-ID
NID (network ID): an identifier used for computer, network, and myUCF portal access
To find out your NID, you can go to https://my.ucf.edu/nid.html. You will be prompted to enter your first name, last name, and on-file e-mail address.
If the system cannot find a record for you, then either your PAF has not been fully processed or it was processed that same day (it takes an overnight process to generate the NID.) You may wish to check with your department to verify all necessary materials have been submitted.
In many departments, a central coordinator orders all the textbooks for everyone; inquire whether this is true in your department. If you are joining UCF with little time before the start of the semester, you will want to check first that the books have been ordered, and physically check that they are available for students for purchase in the bookstore.
If your department requests that you order books yourself, do so online: https://www.facultyenlight.com/?storeNbr=327.
Desk copies are typically arranged through a campus representative from the book publisher. One common method to be put in touch with this person is to ask a colleague or your department chair to email that representative with your name and contact information. If time is critical before the semester, you can arrange to acquire a desk copy of the textbook from the UCF bookstore. Your department chair or department administrative assistant can give you a letter that will enable you to pick up a copy of the text at the bookstore. When the desk copy you have ordered arrives, take it to your administrative assistant who will then deliver it to the bookstore to replace the one you were given.
Your hire letter or contract is also sufficient for you to be issued a Faculty ID card at UCF Card Services. You will need a faculty ID card if you wish to use the Library (note: although adjuncts do not officially get access until contracts are in force, if you come by the library 3-4 weeks before classes start with your signed contract, your library access can be activated so you can prepare for your classes).
Another important reason to obtain a faculty ID card is that you will need a number printed on the card to manually re-set your online passwords.
Some adjuncts are offered a UCF email account, but some are not - check with your department. Most (but not all) departments on campus use Outlook/Exchange email, with the format firstname.lastname@example.com. Your department must initiate the creation of an email account for you. After the account is created, you can access email from Outlook, or from http://outloook.com/ucf.edu. Your designated ePAF Originator has been assigned the Outlook Requestor role. This role gives them the ability to request new accounts online. Only employees with Requestor role will have access to the PeopleSoft forms required to submit account requests for employees. If you have any questions about account requests please contact the Service Desk or visit the website http://www.servicedesk.ucf.edu for more information.
The University does not have a set policy for minimum number of office hours to hold, though instructors are required to post their office hours. Some colleges and departments do have individual requirements; check with your department chair for guidance.
This section provides information about:
Your course is part of a program of courses and its content includes program student learning objectives . If you "inherit" a syllabus from a previous instructor, it is doubly important that you understand the course objectives and student learning outcomes, and how all the pieces of the course (readings, activities, assignments, assessments) fit together toward the course objectives. Be sure you discuss these and other course requirements determined by the program faculty with your Chair or adjunct coordinator before developing your syllabus.
The University does not have a required grade distribution/scale, and also does not stipulate whether faculty members must use plus/minus grading or flat grading (check with your department to see if there are program or college requirements). There is no A+ grade possible at UCF.
Grade submission occurs at myUCF under "View My Teaching Schedule." The grade roster will not be visible until the last week of classes. Instructors may choose to input grades individually, upload a spreadsheetor import from Webcourses.
"F" grades require reporting the student's last date of attendance. Incomplete ("I") grades require attendance reporting as well as filling out an Incomplete form. I-grades are to be used in case of end-of-semester emergency only.
Students reported for academic dishonesty in a given class are to receive a "Z" designation next to their letter grade (so transcript grade such as FZ or CZ are possible).
Department chairs provide evaluations of adjunct faculty members every term. They submit this form to the Office of Faculty Relations (click the thumbnail for a larger view):

There are some worthwhile generic books on how to teach in higher education (McKeachie's Teaching Tips, Tools for Teaching by Barbara Gross Davis) available at the UCF Library and the Faculty Center's library, available for checkout. You may also wish to peruse this listing of books that discuss discipline-specific teaching methods.
The Faculty Center's primary mission is to support and promote faculty in their roles as teachers, researchers, scholars, and as members of UCF and the Central Florida community. Essential to such support is the enhancement of faculty success at any career stage and the promotion of collegiality. Our services, resources, and events are available to all university instructors, including full- and part-time faculty and graduate teaching assistants. We seek to promote 1) excellence in teaching and learning, 2) successful research and creative endeavors, 3) professional fulfillment, and 4) partnerships with other academic institutions and the regional, national and international community. In terms of services, the Faculty Center:
We encourage all faculty members to consider the Faculty Center as a haven and safe place at the university, where discussions are held in confidence. We welcome drop-ins, appointments, phone calls, and emails.
Adjuncts are encouraged to come to our monthly workshops on a variety of subjects, ranging from new technologies to enduring issues in classroom instruction. All events with the Faculty Center are free to participants. All adjuncts are also welcome to attend the public sessions of our major events (like Summer Conference and Winter Conference), but stipend-bearing participation is reserved for full-time faculty.

Only one donor is left to reach out to...the Booth family of course. He gets together with Phog Allen's family in Mission Hills and tries to pitch to the school on why these NEED to be at Allen Fieldhouse, but KU (the school) isn't buying that these "rules" are authentic and originally don't want anything to do w/ them. Think it's a bad investment.
Bill Self comes in and tells the school to
I'm Bill ****ing Self, ruler of everything that is Kansas and you do what I say. So then the school is on board w/ this idea.
This kid gets this all together in like 20days..includes meetings, flying around the country to meet w/ legendary KU coaches players etc to try and make the sales pitch to Booth to put up the money to win this item.
Auction starts and these rules and also with some other awesome items like the original Emancipation Proclamation signed by Abe Lincoln himself and a flag that was standing at Custards Last Stand.
Booth was only thinking about spending $1M maybe $1.5M.....some other asshole was bidding and increasing and increasing the bid...all the way up to $3.8M and Booth still kept to his word bless his heart and the other guy who wanted them was
a snobby jew Duke grad
and knew the other person in the bidding (Booth) wasn't going to quit so he kept bidding what seemed to be on purpose.
But Booth got them.

Coach Brandon Rosenthal has sent them home for the next four days to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday with their families. The players will regroup in Nashville Friday to start the next phase of the season – preparation for the Lady Bisons second NCAA Tournament appearance.
All students at Lipscomb are off this week for the Thanksgiving break.
"I think it is important," said Rosenthal. "The Thanksgiving holiday is about family and that is what we are all about.
"It is a well-deserved break for them. Friday afternoon we will practice and then we will have our own Thanksgiving dinner as a team."
The Lady Bisons will find out Sunday, Nov. 29, who their opponent will be in the first round. Lipscomb will host an NCAA Tournament Selection Show party in Shamblin Theater in the Bennett Campus Center starting at 1:30. Fans are invited to join Rosenthal and the Lady Bisons as they find out where they will be playing and who they will face. The volleyball selection show will begin at 2 on ESPN News.
"We want to invite everybody out for this party," said Rosenthal. "We have had so much support over the past year from families and friends to administrators and people who are part of Lipscomb."
This is the second time in three seasons that the Lady Bisons have won the Atlantic Sun Tournament title. They are the only program at Lipscomb to win two tournament championships. They are also the first program at Lipscomb to win both the regular season championship and the tournament championship since moving to NCAA Division I.
Taking some time off might not be all that easy for the Lady Bisons.
"We all love to play," said junior setter Stefine "Jake" Pease, the Atlantic Sun Tournament Most Valuable Player for the second time in three years. "We love to go to practice. We go to school, but we all want to be at practice every day.
"We are all in this together. We all have the same mindset. I think that is the difference between this year and other years. We are one team."
Rosenthal admits that having players so willing to work hard makes his job much easier.
"It is a coach's dream," said Rosenthal. "Don't get me wrong. We have bad practices. But out of 10 practices I would say nine of them are great. And when I say great I mean we are really getting stuff done.
"The season gets long. Time after time they just come ready to practice. They work and work and work.
"They deserve all of the praise. They are the hardest working players around."

Story highlights
- Atlantans stranded in last month's snow talk about plans for new possible storm
- Top tips: Don't leave the house if you don't have to; Technology can help you work from home
- Most importantly: Have pants available at all times
(CNN)Atlanta residents stranded on icy interstates and at strangers' homes during a January 28 winter storm aren't taking any chances now that another snowstorm is brewing -- they're taking matters into their own hands.
While rain, sleet and snow are expected Monday evening, above-freezing temperatures will likely spare the city of commuter drama, according to the National Weather Service. It's Tuesday night through Thursday that the big show is expected, with a major ice storm forecast, say CNN meteorologists.
Two weeks after 2.6 inches of snow paralyzed the city, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal is taking a proactive approach this time around, declaring a weather-related state of emergency for 45 counties. City and state officials were heavily criticized for their handling of the January 28 storm, when workers and school children dismissed at the same time caused massive gridlock in Atlanta. Some people were stranded 20 or more hours on icy, jammed interstates, and others abandoned their cars to seek overnight shelter.
But despite government precautions, many people who were marooned on Atlanta's icy roads say they're taking matters into their own hands this time. CNN followed up with some of the stranded snow survivors and got their hard-earned lessons for how to deal with a rare snowstorm, Southern style.
1. Don't leave the house if you don't have to
Charles Davidson spent a grueling 7½ hours trying to get from Georgia Tech to his home in Marietta during the last storm. He wound up ditching his car and running the last 5 miles home -- he tracked his distance via the Nike+ app. This go around, he's planning to hole up at home.
"My wife and I decided a few days ago that we were going to get groceries early in the day and we're going to stay in. We're going to stick around for the next two or three days," he said.
The 33-year-old, who lives outside the city perimeter, doesn't want to repeat that scenario anytime soon. He's already cancelled his Tuesday plans downtown. "I decided it doesn't need to happen," he said.
Jagannathan Santhanam had a similar nightmare commuting tale. After being in his car for six hours, he gave up and walked the last 2 miles to pick up his son from Kennesaw Mountain Magnet School. With that experience fresh in his mind, he figures it will be easier to stay at home this week.
"I will work from home and keep my kids home too," said the software developer. "It was not fun, especially with family members stranded for more than 24 hours in different places during the last storm."
2. Technology can help you work from home
Working from home doesn't mean you can't interact with your colleagues.
Santhanam will have meetings over the phone or video conferencing software. He also suggests updating your contact list, as he did. "You never know who may help you the next time around."
And for Keisha Owen, who works in recruiting, she has changed her in-person interviews to virtual interviews.
"We are having our candidates do Skype interviews so that we can work from home if the weather is bad and have them come in at a later date to fill out their application forms," said Owen, who spent one night at a hotel and another at a friend's house before she could get home during the last storm.
"I hope that other businesses allow their employees to work from home if possible so that there are as few people on the roads as possible," she said.
3. Make an emergency necessity kit for your car
Faith Evangelista spent 11 hours in her car on an Atlanta interstate two weeks ago. The health care administrator, who lives 40 miles from work, has already prepared for the impending winter weather.
"I actually packed my car last night with the following: phone charger, an extra coat, warm and comfortable clothes, walking shoes, bottles of water, ice scraper and snacks," she said. Evangelista also made sure to fill up her car with gas.
Greg Ranallo of Powder Springs, Georgia, is thinking along the same lines. He wound up walking 10 miles over the two days he found himself stranded. He walked to a friend's house to stay there and then trekked to work both mornings.
Ranallo, an avid hiker and distance runner, is used to going great distances, but it was the cold that got to him.
"I was unprepared for the bitter cold," said the 25-year-old. "This time I have an extra pair of socks, a pair of boots, and a hat in the car."
4. If all else fails, ask the North for help
Martin Cousin's experience during the last snowstorm would drive anyone insane -- he spent 23 hours stuck in his car, 18 of which were spent on Interstate 285.
Cousin works in aviation and doesn't have the option to work from home. Instead, he's praying that city and state officials have hatched a viable snow plan.
"I'm hoping that they've gotten their wits together and have called Minnesota, Wisconsin or some of those Northern states' leadership to see how they get ahead of it," he said.
5. And most importantly, have pants with you at all times
Joe Schenck now knows that even Georgians have to dress for frigid temperatures.
Schenck was on his way to the gym from work when his car got stuck just 3 miles into his commute. He decided to walk, but there was a problem: He was in gym clothes.
"He was in shorts for a planned workout and was not dressed for the cold," said his wife, Noel Schenck. "Nobody anticipated this kind of weather or gridlock."
As he trekked along the side of the road, a bus full of middle schoolers pulled over and welcomed him aboard. Schenck snapped a selfie of him surrounded by students to show his wife his unbelievable story.
At least they have the memory of the "hilarious photo" to look back on, Noel said. That, and the important lesson to always have warm clothes on hand.
