M.S. in Mathematics
OverviewStudents in the Master of Science in Mathematics program take courses with either a pure or an applied mathematical emphasis. In addition to advanced coursework in mathematics, students take a comprehensive examination, and they complete a project or thesis developed in consultation with the student's graduate advisor and graduate advisory commitee.
Projects and theses have been done in the areas of graph theory, algebra, biomathematics, partial differential equations, numerical analysis, dynamical systems, and Lie groups, among other topics. Many projects and theses have led to publications in pure and applied mathematics journals.br>
Most students complete the program in two years plus associated summers. Graduates of this program have gone on to Ph.D. programs in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, and other fields, and into teaching positions at the two-year college level.
Start your application at the UAF Admissions application page. Applications are evaluated when complete. To be competitive for financial support, applications should be complete at least six months before intended admission. Firm application deadlines are June 1 for fall admission and October 15 for spring (March 1 and Sept 1 for international applicants). The UAF catalog description of the program is online here.
Outcomes for the Successful GraduateQualifications of Graduates: Graduates of the program will be qualified to do the following:
- Advanced research in mathematics or a closely related field.
- Continue on to Ph.D. work in mathematics, applied mathematics, or statistics.
- Teach courses in mathematics or subjects with high mathematical content (e.g. introductory statistics) at the post-secondary (two-year college) level.
- Work in industry in applications of mathematics.
Teaching experience: All MS Mathematics students have an opportunity to work as tutors or teaching assistants. Many recent MS graduates have also had the opportunity to teach their own courses at the pre-calculus or calculus level. Almost all gain experience tutoring in sections of calculus classes or in the Math Lab.
Sources of FundingMost of our graduate students are supported by Teaching Assistantships, which provide a 9-month stipend, health insurance, and tuition for up to 10 credits (e.g. three courses, a full graduate load) per semester. While the stipend amount is set by the College of Natural Science and Mathematics annually, for 2014-15 it was approximately $18,000.
The duties of a Teaching Assistant might include (i) working with calculus students on homework problems in a small recitation section, (ii) grading for a more advanced class, (iii) tutoring in the Math Lab, and/or (iii) teaching (lecturing for) a 100- or 200-level course. See also the Teaching Assistant Handbook put out by the Graduate School
A limited number of Research Fellowships or Assistantships may also be available through grant money procured by faculty inside and outside of the department. Also see the financial aid and funding page at the Graduate School.
Also, Summer Sessions of UAF may hire MS Mathematics students to teach mathematics in the summer, including at the calculus level. Interested students should speak to the Chair of DMS.
Courses, Exams, and Thesis or ProjectThe program is built around four 600-level mathematics core courses (below). Further electives are expected, possibly including courses outside of the department in applied areas. While most students will complete the program in two years, students who matriculate with deficiencies--typically one or two 400-level courses--may require an extra semester or two to complete the program.
The written comprehensive examination covers the content of three courses chosen by the student and his/her committee, but including at least two core courses. It is usually offered in the Spring semester. Students are encouraged to take it at the end of their first year, but it may be taken in the second year of the program.
The program must be taken with a thesis or project. A thesis is more formal and involves satisfying UAF's thesis format requirements. A uafthesis LaTeX package exists to help with this; see also uafthesis at github
An oral defense/presentation is required for both the thesis and the project. This will usually be done shortly before graduation in the Spring of the student's second year. Theses are archived by the library, but PDF final forms are desired for both theses and projects.
Qualifications for AdmissionTo be admitted to the program, an applicant must complete the general UAF procedures for admission into a graduate program, along with the admission requirements specific to the MS Mathematics degree.
See the Admissions "Apply Now!" page to start an application online.
The specific admission requirements are:
- Submit three letters of recommendation concerning the applicant's educational background and quantitative training.
- Submit complete transcripts for all college-level work.
- Submit a resume.
- Submit a written statement of goals.
- The department does not require any GRE, but recommends applicants provide GRE general scores.
- Complete and submit a TOEFL score of at least 600 (this requirement is only for foreign applicants who seek a teaching assistantship).
- The department gives preference to foreign applicants who also submit results of the Test of Spoken English.
- Although GRE scores are not required for admission for students
with a 3.0 undergraduate grade point average or better, we recommend
that students complete and submit GRE general and subject exam scores
to provide additional information for admission and funding decisions.
- Students are required to take the GRE Mathematics Subject exam
by the end of their first year of study if they have not done so in the
admission process. This is intended as an assessment tool for the
graduate program. The Department will pay (reimburse) current
students for this exam. Failure to complete the GRE test during the
first year will result in a loss of department funding, including
teaching assistantships.
- Foreign applicants for whom English is a second language will need to complete and submit a TOEFL score of at least 550 (paper score), 79 (internet score), or 230 (computer score). Applicants seeking a teaching assistanceship will need a (paper) score of at least 600. The department gives preference to foreign appicants who also submit results of the Test of Spoken English (TSE); *
- Applicants must have completed at least a bachelors degree in mathematics or a closely related field from an accredited institution.
- Transcripts should include a background in mathematics courses requiring proofs. Specifically, we expect coursework for the undergraduate degree to include the completion of the following courses or their equivalent with a grade of B or better: **
- A course in advanced calculus or introductory analysis (e.g. Math 401);
- A course in abstract algebra (e.g. Math 405);
- A course in linear algebra (e.g. Math 314);
* - Exceptions MAY be made by the graduate admissions committee.
** - Exceptions to these requirements MAY be made by the graduate admissions committee. Students who are admitted with deficiencies will be asked to remedy these deficiencies as soon as possible after their arrival on campus.
Program Requirements from UAF
Deadlines: See the Graduate School's deadlines page.
Graduate Committee: The applicant
must select a graduate
advisory committee including at least three faculty members,
at least two of whom are mathematics faculty. One member who is on
the mathematics faculty must be committed to chair or co-chair the
committee. The
of a faculty member from another discipline is encouraged for those
working on a thesis/project in an applied area. Students will
need to form a (provisional) graduate committee by the
end of their first semester. The graduate advisory committee
can decide, in accordance with
university policy, whether specific transfer graduate courses may be
as part of the program (at most 9 credits). The student
his/her committee should complete the Appointment/Change
of Graduate Committee Form.
Graduate Study Plan:
One of the first actions of the student and his/her graduate
committee is to meet with the student to create a Graduate
Study Plan. Among
other things, the Graduate Study Plan lists the courses the student
be taking to complete their Master's degree.
University Requirements: The student must satisfy the
university requirements, in particular, complete a minimum of 30
credits of which at least 24 credits must be at the 600 level,
those earned for thesis (maximum of 12 credits) or projects (maximum of
6 credits). At least 21 of these credits must be taken in
Annual Report: Each
year the student and his/her committee should complete an
Report. This report provides an opportunity to confirm that
the student is making satisfactory progress toward the degree, or to
flag any issues or difficulties that have arisen.
Advancement to Candidacy:
Once the student and committee have achieved finally agreement upon
courses, topics on the comprehensive exam, and project/thesis title, an
to Candidacy form must be submitted to the Graduate School
This form will be checked upon application for graduation, and the
courses the student has actually taken must match the form. Thus
should not be submitted prematurely, however it must be submitted at least one semester before graduation.
Written Comprehensive Examination:
See the separate page on the MS
comprehensive examination.
The UAF catalog says three things about grades for graduate students. First, graduate assistantships (both teaching and research) are withdrawn after a warning:
In summary, graduate students must maintain a 3.0 GPA to stay out of trouble.
Departmental Requirements
In addition to the
requirements, the M.S. Mathematics program requires the
I. Complete the Core Mathematics Courses:
= at least 30 CREDITS TOTAL
(includes at least 24 credits at the 600 level)

As Velonation.com notes, "Now [Patrick Lefevere] says it's time for Devolder to step up and shine in Paris-Roubaix if he wants to remain with the team. The two-time Tour of Flanders winner spent a lot of energy in yesterday's edition fighting his way up to the group of favorites, unable to make the same impression on the Ronde as he did when he secured his previous two victories...This time around the pressure will be much greater for team Quick Step since they won't have that crucial win in the Tour of Flanders to build morale from."
Though I have my own Boonen war-story, I think Velonation sums up quite tidily what the situation is for Tornado Tom and his compatriots Hoste (25/1) and Devolder (33/1):
"The situation for a Belgian team in particular will be even more serious when considering that the country as a whole has been blanked from the win column through their early season Classics and semi-Classics. It may just take Boonen rising up to Roger De Vlaeminck's Paris-Roubaix win record to calm the nerves of the Quick Step team and Belgian fans alike." So, my picks:
1. Boonen (2/1)
2. Cancellara (15/8)
3. Breschel (6/1)
Those readers living outside of the United States, in jurisdictions where online gambling is legal, might wish to bet on the outcome of Paris-Roubaix. With the idea that we should support the companies that in some way, shape or form support cycling, head-on over to Sky Bet to put the kid's college fund to ride on a win by Boonen, Spartacus or perhaps dark horse Jeremy Hunt, whose odds are 150/1! And after you've placed your bets, satiate your need for a moving picture montage of calamity and chaos along the cobble of P-R with the 2009 highlight video below. What an exciting time it is!
|Dark Horse Jeremy Hunt (GBr), of the Cervélo Test Team - I have never met another PT-caliber rider who could drink as much as Hunt and still turn-up to pedal the next day (Herald Sun Tour/Tour of Queensland 2003)!

For six years I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area - and not once did it occur to me that anyone would swim in the Bay. Literally and figuratively, I swam in a concrete box. So when I returned this past weekend for the first time in several years, a top priority was a visit to Aquatic Park.
Part of San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, Aquatic Park is the hub of open water swimming in the city, and among most historically significant swim spots in the world. The cove - bounded by horseshoe-shaped Municipal Pier, Hyde Street Pier, and the Maritime Museum beach - is closed to boats and offers a safe, protected venue for cold-water swimming.
Two outfits, the South End Rowing Club (SERC) and the Dolphin Club, organize most out-of-cove swim events in the Bay. The clubs are next-door neighbors in Aquatic Park and both buildings are open to the public.
The weekend of my visit happened to coincide with one of the longer SERC events - a 10km swim from Point Bonita (the southwestern-most edge of Marin County, 2.8 miles west of the Golden Gate Bridge) to Aquatic Park.
SERC events are open only to SERC members (same for Dolphin Club events), so the original plan was for me to paddle for Cathy - a South Ender and friend from Jamie's swim camp. However, late last week it became apparent that she would be unable to swim due to an ankle injury.
This gave rise to the semi-ridiculous idea for me to join the South End and, in my first full day as a member, do one of their longest "Nutcracker" swims. I would simply take Cathy's place in the water, and she would take my place on the water.
I hadn't really been doing much cold-water ocean swimming lately - an occasional 45-minute lunchtime swim at Goleta Beach - but… whatever! Santa Barbara has been 58-60F (14.5-15.5C), and this would be two hours at 54-55F (12.5C), but… whatever! I've found it's not helpful to dwell on such things.
After submitting my membership application mid-day Saturday, Cathy and I hopped in the cove for a quick dip. She won't admit this, but I suspect she wasn't sure I knew what I was getting into; here was a face-saving opportunity to reconsider.
Wading into the "refreshingly" brisk cove waters, we ran into Suzie - another friend from Jamie's swim camp and a very fun lady. From the South End dock, we swam out to the gap between the curved pier and the breakwater; then turned right and swam along (and outside) the breakwater to the end; then retraced our strokes back to the gap; then swam around the rest of the cove and back to the dock.
We were in the water about an hour, with a few chat breaks. I was cold at the end, but not unbearably so. A few minutes later, I discovered why hot showers are inadvisable in treating hypothermia - all the cold blood from your extremities rushes to your core and all of a sudden you're freezing.
Beyond a door at the far end of the showers is the famous South End sauna. This, I found, was a far preferable thawing location. Alone in the wood-paneled room, I sat on the top step next to the rocks, and considered what, indeed, I had gotten myself into.
To be continued…


text: NASS To Resurvey Four States June 30, 2011 06:39 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By AgWeb.com Editors Email In July, USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) will collect updated information on 2011 acres planted to corn, soybeans, Durum and other spring wheat in four states. NASS previously collected planted acreage information during the first two weeks of June, with the results published in the June 30 Acreage report. At the time of the survey, a large percentage of acres remained to be planted in four states: Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota. To better assess planted acreage, NASS will resurvey the growers in these states in July. If the newly collected data justifies any changes, NASS will publish updated estimates in the Crop Production report, to be released at 8:30 a.m. EDT on Thursday, August 11.

text: No Dairy Title Equals No Farm Bill March 15, 2013 10:50 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Jim Dickrell Dairy Herd Management Dairy Editor Email Rep. Collin Peterson (Dem., Minn.), ranking minority member of the House Agriculture Committee, sat down with AgriTalk Radio's Mike Adams this week to discuss the Farm Bill. In a nutshell, Peterson says the current dairy program is not working so a new dairy title must be part of the next farm bill. "[Dairy] will be included, or I don't think there will be a farm bill," he says. Peterson also believes he still has "good support" for the Dairy Security Act, which includes both margin insurance and a dairy stabilization program. The biggest help Speaker of the House John Boehner (Rep., Ohio) could provide in moving a bill forward is to provide a target for both total farm bill budget savings and cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps). If House and Senate leaders could first agree to target numbers for each, Peterson says a farm bill could be fashioned to meet them. Click here for the complete interview. Back to news

Michael Arrington over on TechCrunch turns his attention to how the iPhone production numbers crunch, and comes back with:
Foxconn, the Taiwanese electronics giant that produces the iPhone 3G for Apple, has ramped up production to 800,000 units per week, says a source close to Apple with direct knowledge of the numbers. This is "above current full capacity" and there may be some concerns with quality control.
Steve Jobs originally, and famously said Apple would move 10 million iPhones in 2008. With the above production, however, that's 10 million a quarter -- 40 million a year! Crazy. And what with 22 countries about to become 42 and eventually 70+ by years end, and reports of cracks in the plastic backing of the new iPhone 3G already filtering in, could quality control be any more important right now?
Here's hoping Apple sells a ton of iPhone's this year. And here's also hoping quality assurance numbers are just as high.

SMEs hindered by complex tax system, says business group
Half of small businesses spend between two and eight hours each month trying to understand and calculate their taxes and complete their returns, a survey by the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) has found.
The survey of 2,198 FSB members found that a further 11 per cent of respondents spend between two and six days per month working on their taxes.
The survey also found:
- 77 per cent spend up to £5,000 on professionals' fees and on software in order to keep up-to-date with their obligations
- two thirds estimate they spend £3,651 a year on tax obligations
- 30 per cent said cash flow problems had caused them to pay their taxes late
- 19 per cent said they'd made late payments because of difficulty understanding what was required or confusion over payment dates.
The FSB's national chairman, John Allan, said:
"Small firms are losing a serious amount of time completing these forms and it's tantamount to money down the drain as they could spend that time growing their business. The economy is just starting to pick-up and it is the UK's army of small firms that will drive the growth and create jobs.
"There have been long-running issues with complex tax statuses if you're a sole trader or running an incorporated business. Creating one new tax system, removing the choice will make it simpler. It will free up time for businesses, it will give them the time to grow and contribute further to the prosperity of UK-plc."

Universal Studios Florida was hit by a power outage Friday morning, prompting the Orlando Fire Department to help remove passengers from two rides before hour was restored, NBC affiliate WESH reported.
The Orlando Fire Department said on Twitter that the outage impacted the Transformers and Men in Black rides and there were "no reports of distress."
Eleven people were taken off the Transformers ride in a "routine rescue," and OFD was "checking elevators for anyone who may be stuck," the department wrote in a follow-up tweet.
The park-wide outage was reported before 10 a.m. and Transformers riders were still being helped off an hour later, WESH reported.
Universal's Islands of Adventure did not lose power, the station said.
The theme-park said on Twitter at 11:55 a.m. that power had been restored and all rides would be operational "soon."
Comcast Corporation is the parent company of both Universal Orlando and this site.

President Barack Obama leads Republican challenger Mitt Romney among likely voters in the battleground states of New Hampshire, Nevada, and North Carolina, new NBC News-Wall Street Journal polls show.
The surveys, conducted for the two media organizations by the Marist College Institute of Public Opinion, represent a fresh sign of Romney's predicament less than a week from his first debate with Obama. (Read More: Will the Debates Change Your Vote? )
The Democratic incumbent has also led Romney in the six previous battleground states that NBC and the WSJ surveyed: Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Colorado, Wisconsin and Iowa. (Read More: Obama Leads Romney in Three More Swing States - Polls.)
Obama leads by 51 percent to 44 percent in New Hampshire, a state where Romney has a vacation home that is next door to his home base of Massachusetts. He leads by a narrower 49 percent to 47 percent in Nevada.
More ominously for Romney, the president also holds a two-point edge, 48 percent to 46 percent, in North Carolina — the one battleground where strategists on both sides have believed the Republican has the upper hand.
In all three states, Obama draws less support from white voters than he did in 2008. But the dropoff is not enough to pull Romney ahead.
In North Carolina, Obama is buoyed by overwhelming support, 95 percent to 3 percent, from the state's large African-American constituency. In Nevada, he owes his lead to a nearly two to one edge among Hispanics.
Obama continues to benefit from neutralizing Romney's top issue — who can better manage the economy. North Carolina voters split 45 percent to 45 percent on the question. In Nevada, Obama holds a narrow 48 percent to 46 percent edge on handling the economy; in New Hampshire, Obama's edge is 49 percent to 45 percent. (Read More: CNBC Poll: Economy's Worse, but Obama Favored to Fix It.)
The surveys were conducted Sept. 23-25. In all three states, roughly 1,000 likely voters were interviewed by telephone, with a margin for error of 3.1 percentage points.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) have sent a series of enforcement actions over the past two months to the Tonawanda Coke Corporation (TCC) that order the company to maintain and operate its coke manufacturing facility in a manner that no longer violates environmental laws.
In an effort to keep the Tonawanda community fully informed, EPA is sharing information about its ongoing multi-faceted investigation of this facility. The company violated the Clean Air Act (CAA) by:
The company violated the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) in the improper handling of its coal tar sludge, a hazardous waste. TCC also violated the Clean Water Act by allowing pipes and storage tanks to significantly degrade and leak and by failing to provide adequate containment of polluted stormwater runoff, resulting in illegal discharges of polluted wastewater through storm sewers that lead to the Niagara River.
"EPA has ratcheted up its ongoing investigation aimed at protecting people's health and thus far, we have uncovered a long list of environmental violations at Tonawanda Coke," said Judith Enck, EPA regional administrator.
"Working cooperatively, state and federal agencies have focused on making tangible changes that will benefit the Tonawanda community," NYSDEC Commissioner Pete Grannis said. "But there is more to be done and our department will continue to evaluate all of its technical and legal options for reducing emissions from the plant in order to protect those who live and work in the area."
In 2009, EPA and NYSDEC conducted a comprehensive series of inspections of the Tonawanda Coke facility. As a result of this work, EPA found significant CAA violations. The coke facility failed to enclose and seal openings of three uncontrolled tar-intercepting sumps, five excess ammonia liquor storage tanks, and a light oil storage tank. The company failed to:
These investigations continue and as part of them, EPA is requiring the company to provide information about its processes and to conduct testing related to air pollution from the facility. This testing will give the agencies vital information needed to evaluate the facility's compliance with environmental laws because it will be able to determine whether emissions from the facility are high enough to be controlled as a "major source" of hazardous air pollutants. This would mean that the company would have to meet additional requirements above those that EPA has so far compelled it to meet.
EPA and NYSDEC have put TCC on notice that it violated environmental requirements found in New York State's regulations governing coke ovens by not having the proper air pollution control technology on parts of its facility known as quench towers. Specifically, it was required to have equipment called baffles, which are wooden slats that are installed in the quench towers at an angle to trap particulates and stop them from being carried out of the quench tower with the rising plume of steam. Baffles are a low-cost air pollution control device that force waste gas to change direction in order to make it easier to capture particulates and less likely to escape into the air.
EPA has ordered TCC to stop mixing its tar sludge on coal piles on the ground instead of placing it on an impervious pad designed to prevent the hazardous waste from contaminating the soil, and to clean up the remains of two tar storage tanks that had burned in a 2007 fire, releasing hazardous waste tar residue to the surrounding soil.
EPA's investigation of TCC uncovered inappropriate management of the facility's hazardous waste tar sludge generated in the coke production process. Instead of mixing the sludge with coal under appropriate safeguards, such as using a proper concrete-lined and walled pad, the sludge was dumped directly on coal piles on the ground and mixed there before recycling it in the coke production process. Under RCRA, TCC must minimize releases of hazardous waste and obtain a permit before disposing of it. During its investigation, TCC also admitted to EPA that it had abandoned the remains of two tar storage tanks that had burned in a fire in 2007 and released hazardous waste tar residue to the surrounding soil. EPA is ordering TCC to stop its illegal disposal of wastes and to remove the released tar residues, and any contaminated soils.
EPA has ordered the company to make specific repairs or corrections to its connections of wastewater pipes and to immediately stop unpermitted discharges of its process and nonprocess wastewater. EPA found multiple leaks of tar, process water, and a highly corroded tank meant to contain a substance known as "liquor," which is a by-product of the coke process and contains contaminants such as ammonia, cyanide and naphthalene. The agency also found other areas that needed fixing to avoid potentially damaging spills and leaks. TCC must submit a description of the work that was done and a written certification that each of the items has been corrected. TCC must also amend its management practices plan, which is intended to control water pollution at the site. TCC must install a flow meter for process wastewater in the correct location and conduct an audit to identify any cross connections between process and non-process wastewater.
Apart from these administrative orders, on Dec. 23, TCC's Environmental Control Manager was arrested on criminal charges filed by the U.S. Attorney's Office of the Western District of New York and the Department of Justice, Environmental Crimes Section, based on an investigation by EPA's Office of Criminal Enforcement and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation that found he had failed to immediately notify the appropriate government agency as soon as he had knowledge of a release of coal tar sludge, a hazardous substance at the TCC facility. It was also alleged that the coal tar sludge was released as a result of a failed decommissioning of two storage tanks, and that the coal tar sludge was inadvertently ignited. The complaint also charged a CAA violation. The charges carry a maximum penalty of five years imprisonment, a fine of $50,000 per day of violation, or both. The defendant is presumed innocent and charges contained in the complaint are merely accusations unless and until proven guilty in a court of law; he was released on bond pending an April court date.

NTREIS provides information management services to over 30,000 MLS subscribers of its 15 Shareholder REALTOR® Associations, including over 6,000 real estate offices.
We service the entire DFW Metroplex and surrounding areas. There is only one Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and it is called North Texas Real Estate Information System NTREIS. We offer the same services as traditional 6% brokers but with a discounted fee. We are discount REALTORS ® however we offer full service brokerage for your area Texas. The name of our broker is Listing Results, LLC and our office is in Colleyville TX. We have been in real estate since 1998. Many clients call us a Flat Rate MLS but for the most part the service we provide is called Flat Fee MLS Listing.
We offer a wide range of service from the novice to investors, rent, lease and sales. Many people start out as a FOR SALE BY OWNER – FSBO (without an agent) but quickly learn the are not getting the exposure needed to sell their property. Many people think they are a for sale by owner on the MLS but you are not. Your MLS listing looks just like all other listings but you do retain the right to sell as a FSBO and not pay an agent commission but we are still there to help you even if a buyer comes to you directly. We are your listing agent – broker for your area Texas. We are not only a limited service broker - we are full service brokerage. Limited service simply means the brokerage has unbundled services so you can pay for what services you need. Commonly seached terms on is how to list without an agent but you cannot list on the MLS without and agent / REALTOR®.
We feel this is the future of the real estate business. The more research you do, you will see, this is the way to sell and save a ton of money on real estate commissions.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
We comply completely with SB 810 on all our listing packages (along with all rules and regulations by TREC, TAR, NAR & MLS Boards) - that includes a provision that requires a broker who represents a party or who lists real property under an exclusive agreement to: inform the party of material information related to the transaction, including the receipt of an offer by the broker, and answer the party's questions and present any offer to or from the party. The bill prohibits a broker who represents a party from telling another broker to negotiate directly with the broker's client. The bill further provides that, for purposes of 1101.157, a license holder who has additional authority to bind a party under a power of attorney or a property management agreement is considered a party to the lease or sale; an inquiry to an employee of a builder or developer about contract terms or forms does not violate §1101.652(b)(22) if the person does not have authority to bind the employer to the contract; the delivery of an offer to a party does not violate §1101.652(b)(22) if the party's broker consents to the delivery and a copy of the offer is sent to the party's broker; and provides an exception to the requirement of sending a copy of the offer to a party's broker if the party is a governmental agency using a sealed bid process that does not allow a copy to be sent to the broker.

Analysts: Midwest Drivers To See Lower Gas Prices
LANSING, Mich. (AP) - The worst may be over for drivers in Michigan and other upper Midwest states who have been grappling with the highest gasoline prices in the continental U.S.
Analysts said Tuesday a major refinery is back online and another is on track with a major reconfiguration. The refineries' issues are blamed for high gas prices in the Great Lakes region.
The average retail price of unleaded gas is $4.20 in Michigan, higher than anywhere else except Hawaii.
Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at GasBuddy.com, says the worst is over and he doubts Midwest residents will continue paying $1 a gallon more than some parts of the country. He says wholesale prices dropped 20 cents per gallon in the last day, which should lower prices at the pump.

17,543 people have taken this course
If you've struggled with diets and exercise programs and nothing seems to budge, or if you've been successful at diets and exercise but you still don't love who you are, it's time to take another approach. Embark upon an 8-week spiritual journey that will teach you how to heal your body karma, become free from body shame and experience total body love, fully and completely, without exception.
This course will help you if you seek a way to fully:
If you want to love your body, you have to LOVE your body! As you do this soul work, you'll notice that you're starting to love yourself. And as this love permeates your entire field--soul and human container--your body will respond to this love, almost as if by magic. Your body will heal and shift and change, effortlessly, simply because it is loved.
In this course, you will learn to do the soul work that results in:
This course isn't a diet or workout plan. You won't learn any yoga moves. In fact, this course won't show you any particular method to lose weight or get fit (although both will happen easily as you do this inner work). Instead, it's just one simple spiritual lesson per week for 8 weeks, that will awaken your soul and give you something new to ponder and integrate as you go about your life.
No diets, no willpower, no drama, no deprivation, no pain. It's easy and simple--effortless, really. You'll hardly know you're doing it! Yet as you do this inner work, just a little bit each week, you will find that you will shift your relationship to your body completely. As the inner changes, so does the outer.
When we work with energy, intention and the Universe, everything shifts very quickly--and so effortlessly, we can hardly remember what life was like before. By the end of the 8 weeks, you'll have begun to love the body you're in--exactly as you are, no changes needed--from the deepest soul level.
You will understand:
You will stop the insanity of body hate, body shame, body discomfort. The Universe will shift that for you, and you will become free.
We will do this inner work using our journal, via guided reflections, by noticing things in our life and by observing the world around us. In this way, over time, you will learn to create a new body image for yourself--one that is filled with radical self acceptance, unwavering self love and total freedom in your physical container.
Again, this course is not a medical, nutritional, addictions or fitness course. It is serious spiritual work, designed to help you become free from all matter of body image issues, including:
We are here to love ourselves. We are here to love our bodies. Join me, on this amazing journey of inner work!

If you're like any other mom in America, then sitting somewhere in your living room among your ridiculous amount of baby gear is a Bumbo seat. (Am I right?) That thing is awesome for helping babies sit up, and it's so convenient for feeding, etc. But if you do have one, then you'd better read on, because 4 million Bumbo baby seats have been recalled due to major safety hazards.
The seats present a falling risk to infants when they are placed on raised surfaces, which can result in injuries as severe as skull fractures. And as much as I'd like to say I only put my son in his Bumbo seat when it was on the floor, I can recall setting him on the kitchen counter in it a time or two. Because that thing fits so snugly around a baby's body, you'd never dream they'd fall out of it. Luckily, I never had any safety issues with my Bumbo seat -- but other parents haven't been so fortunate.
More from The Stir: Peg Perego Strollers Recalled After Scary Strangulation Incidents
The seats were originally recalled in 2007 after babies fell out of them, and as a result, a warning was issued to parents stating that the seats should never be used on elevated surfaces. But not everyone got the message, and since then, at least 50 babies have gotten hurt. Want to know the scariest part? Get this one -- some of the infants who suffered injuries fell out of their Bumbo seats while they were placed on the ground.
But before you panic and immediately take your Bumbo seat to the nearest dumpster, the CPSC has a solution to make your seat safe. All you need to do is contact Bumbo to be given a free kit that includes a safety belt for the seat and new instructions on how to use it properly. You can check out Bumbo's recall site for more information on the kit, or call (866) 898-4999.
Do you use a Bumbo seat, and have you ever worried about it not being safe?

Michigan punter Will Hagerup reinstated to team, forced to sit out entire 2013 season
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Michigan punter Will Hagerup has been reinstated to the team after a suspension for violating team rules.
However, coach Brady Hoke said Tuesday that Hagerup will sit for the entire 2013 season. He will be eligible to play as a fifth-year senior in 2014.
Hoke says he has been pleased with Hagerup's progress so far, adding he must continue to move forward. Matt Wile will likely punt in place of Hagerup this year
Hagerup was suspended Dec. 16 for violating unspecified team rules. He was voted All-Big Ten punter by the media last season as a junior. The Milwaukee native says the past five months have been an incredible, humbling time for him.

G. Correction of Education Records Students have the right to ask to have education records corrected that they believe are inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of the privacy or other rights of the student. The following are the procedures for correcting the records: The student must request an informal discussion of the questionable item with the record custodian, who may comply or may decide not to comply. If the result of the informal discussion is not satisfactory to the student, and the student still wishes to have the record corrected, the student must submit a written request for a change in the education record. This written request must state why the education record is inaccurate, misleading, or violates the privacy or other rights of the student. This request must be given to the vice president of the area or designee to which the record correction belongs. The area vice president or designee shall then request a written statement from the records custodian that explains why the request for the change in the education record was denied at the informal stage. After a review, the area vice president or designee will notify the student whether or not the University will comply with the change. If not, the area vice president or designee will notify the student of the right to a hearing to challenge the information believed to be inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of the student's rights. Upon receiving a written request for a hearing, the area vice president or designee shall arrange for a hearing and notify the student, reasonably in advance, of the date, time, and place of the hearing. A hearing officer who is a disinterested party will conduct the hearing; however, the hearing officer may be an official of the University. The president shall appoint the hearing officer. The student will be afforded a full and fair opportunity to present evidence relevant to the issues raised in the original request to amend the student's education records. The student may be assisted by one or more individuals, including an attorney. The University will prepare a written decision based on the evidence presented at the hearing. The decision will include a summary of the evidence presented and the reasons for the decision. If the University's decision is that the challenged information is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the privacy or other rights of the student, the record will be amended accordingly and the student will be notified in writing by the area vice president or designee of the amendment. If the University's decision is that the challenged information is not inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of the student's right of privacy, the area vice president or designee will inform the student of the right to place a statement in the record commenting on the contested information and/or a statement setting forth reasons for disagreeing with the decision. This statement will be maintained as part of the education record as long as that record is maintained, and the statement will be disclosed whenever the record custodian discloses the portion of the record to which the statement relates.

U.S. to Boost Funding for Alzheimer's Research by $50 Million This Year
By Alex Wayne - Feb 7, 2012 2:59 PM PT
The Obama administration is boosting funding for Alzheimer's research by $50 million this year to further investigate the genetic underpinnings of the disease and test drugs that may arrest its development.
About 5.1 million Americans suffer from the condition and caseloads are expected to double by 2050, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The cause of the degenerative condition is unknown and there is no cure.
Patient advocacy groups have intensified lobbying efforts in the last two years, arguing that federal research efforts are underfunded and the disease poses a long-term economic threat, said George Vradenburg, chairman of UsAgainstAlzheimers, a Washington nonprofit.
"If you look at it over the next 10 years, the aggregate cost is about $2 trillion -- which in fact is about the amount we're supposed to be trying to reduce our operating deficit by," Vradenburg said. "It is of that kind of scale."
Medicare and Medicaid, the U.S. health programs for the elderly and the poor, spend about $130 billion combined each year treating Alzheimer's patients, Vradenburg said.
The National Institutes of Health, the largest source of biomedical research funding in the world, expected to spend about $450 million on Alzheimer's research this year before today's announcement. The agency will spend about $3.1 billion on HIV/AIDS research this year and $5.8 billion on cancer.
Critical Challenge
Alzheimer's "has quickly become one of our nation's most critical health challenges," Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said at an event in Washington today announcing the new funding.
About half of the $50 million will be used to sequence the genomes of people with Alzheimer's to try to identify genes and gene changes connected to the disease, said Richard Hodes, director of the National Institute of Aging in Bethesda, Maryland, the arm of NIH that directs Alzheimer's research. The rest will be dedicated to the "most meritorious" Alzheimer's projects at NIH's 32 institutes, Hodes said by phone.
Vradenburg, whose wife's mother died of Alzheimer's, founded his organization in the fall of 2010 and has since joined with Eric Hall, president and CEO of another advocacy group, Alzheimer's Foundation of America, to create Leaders Engaged in Alzheimer's Disease, an umbrella organization.
The groups produced a report last May that criticized funding for the National Institute of Aging as "miniscule and declining" and called for an increase of $300 million per year, to $1.4 billion, for the office.
National Plan
President Barack Obama signed a law in January 2011 that creates a national plan to address Alzheimer's. Vrandenburg and Hall sit on a board advising Sebelius' department on the plan, which will be completed in May, Vrandenburg said.
Advocacy efforts for Alzheimer's patients haven't previously been as robust as those for cancer and AIDS patients because people with dementia often aren't able to speak for themselves, Hall said.
Cancer, for example, "has survivors -- the people with the disease are able to raise their voice and engage," he said. "Alzheimer's disease is rather unique in that yes, some folks with Alzheimer's in the early stage are able to speak. But generally they lose that ability; they're not able to rally, if you will."
Research breakthroughs are also driving the increased funding, Vradenburg said.
Suspect Protein
Scientists sponsored by NIH reported on Feb. 2 that for the first time they were able to track a protein associated with Alzheimer's, called tau, as it spread through the brains of mice, destroying neurons. That and other recent developments have inspired confidence that new treatments may be found, said Francis Collins, director of the NIH.
Much of the new research may examine ways to prevent or slow the onset of Alzheimer's, rather than treatments once it is established, Hodes said.
"The strong sense is that failure to make important in- roads to date is at least in part due to the fact treatment has been directed at established disease," Hodes said.
Obama plans to ask for an extra $80 million for Alzheimer's research in his fiscal 2013 budget, to be released next week, Sebelius said. Sebelius' department also plans to spend $26 million this year for Alzheimer's efforts unrelated to research, such as support for patient families.

Arkansas judge strikes down state ban on marriage for same-sex couples
May 09, 2014
Today Judge Chris Piazza of Arkansas upheld same-sex couples' freedom to marry, striking down the state's discriminatory constitutional amendment and becoming the latest in a unanimous wave of 15 favorable rulings from state and federal judges across the country since the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Windsor v. United States.
The judge did not issue a stay in the ruling - meaning that as soon as Monday, same-sex couples could marry in the state. The state of Arkansas has, however, sought a stay in the ruling. The state has said it will appeal a ruling in favor of the freedom to marry. If appealed, as expected, the next step would likely be the Arkansas Supreme Court.
In one particularly moving piece, Judge Piazza writes:
Our freedoms are often acquired slowly, but our country has evolved as a beacon of liberty in what is sometimes a dark world.
It has been over forty years since Mildred Loving was given the right to marry the person of her choice. The hatred and fears have long since vanished and she and her husband lived full lives together; so it will be for the same-sex couples.
It is time to let that beacon of freedom shine brighter on all our brothers and sisters. We will be stronger for it.
Max Brantley reports, "The order came after county clerks ofices closed for the week. But they can expect a flood of applicants Monday morning. Pulaski County Clerk Larry Crane said he'd be ready with software to issue gender-netural marriage licenses Monday morning."
The ruling came in Wright v. Arkansas, a lawsuit filed in state court that makes claims under the U.S. Constitution. It was brought by a private attorney, Cheryl Maples, on behalf of more than 20 same-sex couples, plus a woman seeking respect for her marriage to another woman so she can divorce and several children of same-sex couples. Congratulations to all of the great plaintiffs, and to Cheryl Maples and her legal team.
Read the stories of many same-sex couples from Arkansas - including several plaintiff couples - impacted by the ruling here:
Evan Wolfson, president of Freedom to Marry, released the following statement applauding the ruling:
"Today a state circuit judge in Arkansas ruled in favor of the freedom to marry, the latest in a unanimous wave of more than a dozen state and federal judges across the country in recent months. Judge Piazza held that there is no good reason for discriminating against couples and their loved ones just because they are gay. With more than 70 marriage cases now making their way through the courts and five federal appellate courts now hearing arguments and soon to rule, today's decision out of Arkansas underscores that all of America is ready for the freedom to marry."

The L.A. County District Attorney has charged Adnan with assault with a deadly weapon, battery, and hit and run -- all felonies.
Ghalib allegedly hit a man with his car in an alley back on February 11. The man was reportedly trying to serve Adnan with legal papers on behalf of Britney Spears.
One law enforcement source says Ghalib allegedly hit the dude, who landed on the hood, and then continued driving.
The server jumped on the hood of Ghalib's Mercedes to avoid being pinned against a trash truck.
Cops and paramedics were called. The victim broke his wrist and suffered cuts and bruises.
Prosecutors are asking for bail set at $110,000. If convicted, Ghalib could get seven years in prison.

A man was arrested after he was caught on surveillance camera having sex with a family's pet donkey, according to an incident report.
The family called police at about 1:30 a.m. Sunday, July 16, saying a man was trespassing on their property and having sex with one of the pet donkeys.
The family had been talking with police for the past month, and officers had been running extra patrols in the area over similar allegations. The family had posted signs that read "No Trespassing and No Feeding the Donkeys," and had also set up a security camera to figure out who was on the property.
When the officer arrived on scene that Sunday morning, he found Everett Compton, age 49, hiding in some bushes on the back of the property, according to the report. Compton told the officer he was just taking a walk.
Compton told the officer he had fed the donkeys some carrots. When the officer asked Compton if he had been having sex with any donkeys that night, he answered "No."
The officer then told Compton there were surveillance cameras located around the property, and that he planned to look at the footage. Compton told the officer he smokes a lot of marijuana, which makes him do "sick things." He promised the officer that he would get help if he were not charged with having sex with the donkey, according to the report.
The officer placed Compton under arrest. The incident report says a review of the surveillance footage appeared to show Compton having "some type of sexual interaction" with a donkey in the video.
