ADAAA Information
The Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) requires the provision of "reasonable accommodations" to those qualified individuals with disabilities by providing equal, non-discriminatory program access in the academic setting. Students need to take the verifying documentation to the Dean of Students Office, where it will be kept confidential and private to the extent possible. In most cases, verifying documents can be obtained from doctors, licensed psychologists or other professionals licensed to determine the existence, severity of and characteristics of the disability or disabilities. This documentation should include the functional impact of the disability or disabilities. It is the student's responsibility to request documentation from such professionals, and to request a record of accommodations received at any other educational institution. Appropriate documentation for learning disabilities should be provided. If accommodations are needed by the student, the student should provide the information and documentation in a reasonably early manner after admission to allow time for the development and arrangement of appropriate accommodations. In some cases, as when books on tape or sign language interpreters need to be requested, documentation should be provided several weeks prior to the beginning of the semester so accommodation arrangements can be made in a timely manner. A copy of Southwestern Oklahoma State University's documentation guidelines are on the Dean of Students' website or office, room 214, Gen. Thomas P. Stafford Center, 580.774.3767. Please note: Students should be admitted to SWOSU before seeking accommodations from the Dean of Students.

Frankie Ballard's "Light 'Em Up" tour made a stop on November 15th in Silver Spring, Maryland just outside of Washington D.C. and I was curious to see if there was anything special about this particular artist. Well, I got more than I bargained for.
A Thousand Horses (a Nashville based band) took the stage first. The band recently signed with Republic Nashville and I've heard some interesting things regarding their ability to entertain. I have one word that describes this band perfectly, brilliant. From their style to their smooth stage presence, they scream authentic. Although their sound is southern rock, they have a blue collar essence about them. They could easily be labeled as the modern day Lynard Skynard. They performed a song titled "Smoke" which is set to be released to country radio sometime in January. I enjoyed their entire set but a few songs stood out to me. "Drunk Dial" puts a unique spin on calling your ex lover after you've had a few drinks. "Landslide" was also a top pick. The band worked well together and it all seemed meant to be. Destiny.
Opening act Frankie Ballard took the stage full force. I expected a decent show, what I got was massive. Opening with "I Came To Get Down" it was very clear what his goal was for the night…to entertain. He set the stage on fire from beginning to end, never slacking or slowing down. He performed fans favorites such as "A Buncha Girls" as well as "Tell Me You Get Lonely." Right before he took the stage he got word that his current single "Sunshine & Whiskey" had just went to #1. It was a nice addition to the show. It was obvious fans enjoyed being a part of that celebration. He also performed a few classics and paid homage to the music he grew up on. He sang Johnny Cash "A Boy Named Sue" with style. Also, his version of Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock & Roll" was effortless. The ending was also flawless as he brought out the band A Thousand Horses and they all toasted and took shots of whiskey prior to singing "Helluva Life" together. From his vocals to his ability to rock the crowd, Frankie Ballard is something special. If Elvis and Johnny Cash had a baby, his name would be Frankie Ballard.

Many of you are aware of the new high-quality requirements (Rider 78) for all districts or charters that receive PK funding. TEA will be coming to Region 13 to provide districts more information about Rider 78 and how to comply with this new requirement.
We recommend having one to two participants per district (space is limited).


The harebell (Campanula rotundifolia) is common throughout the UK, but north of the border it's known as 'the bluebell of Scotland'. Other folk names include 'old man's bell', 'cuckoo's shoe', or 'witch bells'.
The bell-shaped, scentless flowers can vary from pink to white, but most commonly they're a wonderful sky blue. Their nodding heads appear on single stems or loose clusters from late spring through to September.
Despite its fragile appearance, the harebell is remarkably tough. It thrives on grassy, windswept hillsides, in dry stone walls and on cliffs. We've found harebells in a variety of habitats, from mountains and moorland right down to the carpet of machair that fringes many western beaches.
These harebells (top) were seen in the Grampians, while the single flower was photographed near Ellenabeich on Seil Island.
I had no idea that the harebell was so common throughout the UK! We've got these beautiful wildflowers located all throughout Colorado, and I'm sure into Wyoming, Utah, and the Northwestern States of the US. Thanks for sharing the great photo.
I didn't realise that the harebell was found in the US, either! So that's something I've learned. I wonder if it's exactly the same species?
I'm not sure, but they look incredibly similar! Unfortunately I'm not at my home computer where I have a few pictures that I took, but after some research I found a great resource for wildflowers in the US. The United State Department of Agriculture has a database of plants, which includes the Campanula rotundifolia. The photo was taken right here at Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. We call them Bluebell Bellflowers, just another reason why scientific names are important. Small world, eh?
Thank you – that's very interesting!
I can imagine the countryside covered in these beautiful flowers!!!
They do make a beautiful sight – they don't form 'carpets' like the better-known bluebells pictured in my Editor's letter for March, but they still make a colourful addition to lots of hedgerows and scrubby grassland.
Yes, they are beautiful! Take a look at this link, supplied by Aveena (see her comment above) – the harebell occurs in the US and apparently it's the same species as ours. You might be lucky!
The machair only had primroses, daisies and dandelions on the islands, mind you there were hundreds of primroses, we were just that little bit too early to see it in its full glory 🙂 These are very sweet little plants.
I think any plant that likes damp conditions is going to thrive this spring, after the mild wet winter! Yes, harebells are lovely, and a very delicate shade of blue – but no scent, at least as far as I can tell. The machair will be beautiful a bit later on, around midsummer I guess.
Ah yes, the midges! Although I have to say we always seem to be lucky – if there's a sea breeze it usually blows them away.

EPA Lists 24 Climate Change Indicators to Inform Future Policy
Scientists Will Be Watching Birds, Plants and Humans, as well as the Earth
By SolveClimate Staff, InsideClimate News
In the future, the EPA will be looking closely at bird migration patterns and counts of heat-related deaths, as well as changes in the oceans, glaciers and atmosphere, as it determines how to respond to a changing climate.
The agency released a list of 24 climate change indicators Tuesday that it intends to rely on when deciding how best to use its policy-making and program management resources to respond to climate change and evaluating the success of those efforts. The EPA is still focused on mitigating climate change through efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions, but the list shows it is moving on to adaptation, as well.
Some of the indicators are based on fairly straightforward data gathered in much the same manner for over a century, such as temperature and precipitation. Others, the EPA notes, are new measurements that have been defined and collected over only the past few decades, such as heat-related deaths and climate forcing.
"These indicators show us that climate change is a very real problem with impacts that are already being seen," said Gina McCarthy, assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Air and Radiation.
The 24 climate change indicators and some of the agency's related findings so far are:
U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions: From 1990 to 2008, U.S. greenhouse gas emissions from human activities, such as transportation and electricity generation, increased 14 percent to 6,957 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents. Emissions of carbon dioxide, the primary greenhouse gas, increased 16 percent.
Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Worldwide emissions of human-caused greenhouse gases rose 26 percent from 1990 to 2005, to 38,000 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents. Emissions of fluorinated compounds, some with global warming potentials thousands of times greater than CO2, more than doubled. CO2, accounting for three-quarters of all global emissions, increased 31 percent.
Atmospheric Concentrations of Greenhouse Gases: Greenhouse gas concentrations are higher now than they have been in thousands of years, "even after accounting for natural fluctuations," the EPA says. Since the industrial revolution, they have risen from about 270 ppm to close to 390 ppm.
Climate Forcing: From 1990 to 2008, scientists calculated a 26 percent increase in radiative forcing, or energy absorption. About 80 percent of it comes from CO2. The EPA notes, however, that there are uncertainties and limitations in the models used to calculate radiative forcing.
Temperature: The past decade was the warmest on record worldwide. Average temperatures in the lower 48 states have risen an average 0.13 degrees Fahrenheit per decade since 1901.
Heat Waves: The frequency of heat waves and the percentage of the United States experiencing heat waves has increased since the 1970s, though the most severe years remain the Dust Bowl years of the 1930s.
Drought: Data on this indicator is relative new, so the EPA notes that it can't yet say whether droughts are increasing or decreasing over time.
Precipitation: Average rain and snowfall has increased in the U.S. at a rate of 6.4 percent per century since 1901, though conditions vary within regions. Parts of the Southwest, for example, have seen a decrease in precipitation.
Heavy Precipitation: Eight of the 10 worst years for downpours, or "intense single-day events," in the United States have been since 1990.
Tropical Cycle Intensity: Six of the 10 most active hurricane seasons have been since the mid-1990s.
Ocean Heat: Studies show an increase since the 1950s in heat stored, which effects sea surface temperature, sea levels and currents. EPA notes that the data interpretations vary as scientists are working with different measuring techniques.
Sea Surface Temperature: Temperatures rose an average of 0.12 degrees per decade from 1901 through 2009, with the fastest rise over the past 30 years.
Sea Level: On average, sea level has increased at a rate of six-tenths of an inch per decade since the 1870s.
Ocean Acidity: Oceans absorb CO2, and measurements over the past few decades show their acidity has increased, however the EPA says more research is needed to better understand long-term changes.
Arctic Sea Ice: In 2007, scientists recorded the smallest amount of sea ice on record.
Glaciers: Glaciers worldwide have lost more than 2,000 cubic miles of water since 1960.
Lake Ice: Northern U.S. lakes have stayed ice-free about one to two days longer each decade since the late 1800s.
Snow Cover: Averages by decade show the extent of North American snow cover has decreased steadily, from 3.4 million square miles in the 1970s to 3.18 million in the 2000s.
Snowpack: The depth of snow in early spring has, on average, decreased in the western U.S., with some areas seeing a decline of more than 75 percent between 1950 and 2000.
Heat-Related Deaths: Data classifying deaths as heat-related is relatively new, and the EPA notes there is considerable year-to-year variability in the number making it difficult to say if there has been a meaningful increase.
Length of Growing Season: Earlier spring warming and later fall frosts have increased the average length of the growing season in the lower 48 states by about two weeks since the start of the 20th century.
Plant Hardiness Zones: Warmer winter temperatures, noticeably since 1990, have shifted where species of plants are able to thrive.
Leaf and Bloom Dates: Leaves are emerging and lilacs an honeysuckle are blooming slightly earlier than in 1900, but the EPA notes that it's difficult to yet determine if this is statistically meaningful.
Bird Wintering Ranges: Studies have found birds in North America have shifted their wintering grounds an average of 35 miles northward over the past half century.

PM briefs on talks with Russian President and US Secretary of State over prevention of Iranian entrenchment in Syria.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu opened the weekly cabinet meeting this morning with a report on his talks with Russian President Putin and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
"Over the weekend I spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin and with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. We discussed regional issues and focused – of course – on Syria," Netanyahu said.
"I reiterated our guiding principles regarding Syria. First of all, Iran needs to withdraw from all of Syria. Second, we will take action – and are already taking action – against efforts to establish a military presence by Iran and its proxies in Syria both close to the border and deep inside Syria."
The Prime Minister emphasized that Israel would "act against these efforts anywhere in Syria."


TORONTO (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar retreated from a three-year high against the U.S. currency on Tuesday morning and short-dated bond prices perked up after the Bank of Canada left interest rates unchanged and gave no signal it plans to raise them soon.
The Canadian dollar fell as low as C$0.9735 to the U.S. dollar, or $1.0272, after the bank's announcement from C$0.9714, or $1.0294, just before, a level that matched Monday's North American close.
Early in the day it rose as high as C$0.9684 to the U.S. dollar, or $1.0326, its highest level since November 2007.
By 9:40 a.m. (1440 GMT), it was at C$0.9725 to the U.S. dollar, or $1.0283.
The interest rate-sensitive two-year bond turned positive, edging up 4 Canadian cents to yield 1.824 percent.
"The dollar is certainly weakening. I think you're seeing a little bit of giveback in some of the (yield curve) short end but mostly it's a Canadian dollar story at this point," said David Tulk, chief Canada macro strategist at TD Securities.
The Bank of Canada maintained its benchmark rate at 1 percent. It also repeated the language that it used in its January rate announcement, saying that while considerable monetary stimulus remains in place, "any further reduction in monetary policy stimulus would need to be carefully considered.
"They slightly upgraded their outlook for the Canadian economy, acknowledging that the recovery has been proceeding slightly faster than expected," said Paul Ferley, assistant chief economist at Royal Bank of Canada.
Ferley said he still expects the central bank to lift rates in May, matching the median view in a recent Reuters poll on Canadian interest rates.
Overnight index swaps, which trade based on expectations for the key central bank rate, showed investors see a 92.2 percent probability that rates will stay on hold at the Bank of Canada's next policy announcement date on April 12, up slightly from before the announcement. Views of the chances of a May hike fell slightly as well.
Analysts had been geared up for stronger language from the central bank on the Canadian economic outlook after Monday's fourth-quarter GDP data exceeded forecasts.
The data signaled momentum in the economy, and had bolstered the view that the central bank will resume hiking interest rates in the first half of the year.
Before Tuesday's rate announcement, the Canadian dollar hit its highest level since the start of the global financial crisis as its U.S. counterpart came under broad selling pressure on expectations that interest rates would rise more quickly in other parts of the world than in the United States.
There was also caution ahead of closely watched congressional testimony from U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.
Over the near term, analysts said there are few technical barriers stand in the Canadian currency's path, while firm oil prices are a supporting factor.
"Realistically, below this 97-cent level, there are few technical spots. This is sort of reminiscent of last time we were down here with oil skyrocketing and the Canadian dollar following along," Curran said.
"I don't think it'll be sustainable over the long period," he added.

Nothing can stop the Stephen King renaissance! After It scared up boffo bucks at the box office, the rate of new King adaptations are only going to increase with the hopes of scaring up another horror blockbuster. The newest King adaptation will be a Pet Sematary remake, helmed by Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer, directors of the indie horror film Starry Eyes.
Starry Eyes is a great independent horror film that follows a young woman who goes further than she ever imagined possible in her quest for fame. Alexandra Essoe turns in a killer performance in the lead role, and we see her character Sarah go through real hell as she abandons all anchors to her past life in the pursuit of her dreams.
Starry Eyes answers an old question — what would you do for fame? — with brutal and visceral intensity. The film, written and directed by Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer, features Alex Essoe in a figurative and literal star-making turn. She plays Sarah, a young woman whose own self-destructive tendencies play right into the odd desires of one casting director, leading to what could be her big break as the lead actor in a horror feature. But things get really really weird as Sarah is asked to do more than she ever expected to keep her new gig. The film also stars Noah Segan, Pat Healy, Amanda Fuller, Shane Coffer, Fabianne Therese; check out a great Starry Eyes trailer below.
The SXSW film festival has been ramping up its Midnight programming over the past few years, to the point where each new iteration of the fest sees the debut of at least one or two very worthy genre entries.


Discipline is one of those topics that everyone has an opinion on. It's even something that two parents can fight over because their approaches differ so much.

WATCH: Gay Tucson Hero Daniel Hernandez on "Rachel Maddow"
On Monday, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer delivered a very brief State of the State address and led state legislators in a standing ovation for Daniel Hernandez Jr., the 20-year-old intern whose sharp reflexes are credited with helping to save the life of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
And under Arizona law this man could be stopped and asked for his "immigration papers". crazy.
Instead of being in what many of up would been a state of panic, he did the opposite and help save her life. Very proud of him...BRAVO!!
Chris Rock once said that what we don't want in our lives, God will put in our families. So many Arizona citizens have a GAY LATIN man to thank for saving this wonderful woman and if they had their way, he wouldn't be allowed to be in the state.
Bravo, Mr. Hernandez. You are the personification of GRACE UNDER PRESSURE!

Ad Wars: Dabur takes on Marico in coconut oil category
The rivals in the hair oil segment have been waging a turf war for a long time to establish dominance in the market...
By Shashi Gupta
Ad wars have always played a significant role in defining the advertising industry of India with different brands across categories attempting to take on their nearest competitors. The modus operandi is simple, the challenger brand launches a quirky creative with an attempt to take on the nearest competitor on either the quality of the product or the price point.
Most recently, Dabur India's Anmol Gold, the coconut hair oil brand, took on its nearest competitor Marico's Parachute Oil in a recent print ad that was released on the front page of Saturday's (November 23) edition of The Times of India.
Using a better value proposition as its central message, the ad simply said 'Dabur Anmol Gold Coconut now at much better value than Parachute Coconut Oil' followed by a comparison between the two - Dabur Anmol Gold priced at Rs 30 for 100 ml, as against Rs 39 for Parachute Oil of the same volume.
Dabur's aggressive communication carried on to the second page of the jacket ad where it reiterated its the authenticity of its flagship Dabur Amla Hair Oil, implying other products in the market are not made with real natural ingredients. The second bottle printed in the ad was a very close replica of Nihar Shanti Amla Hair Oil, another product from Marico.
Interestingly, the first piece of ad was an attempt to draw new users to sample the Dabur Anmol Gold Oil and probably earn their loyalty in the process. This would mean to push consumers to shift their loyalty from Marico's Parachute Hair Oil. However, the ad did not mention the benefits of Dabur Anmol Gold over Marico's Parachute, but it clearly focused on the difference in the price point. The latter is a key factor driving the purchase in a country like India.
Both Dabur and Marico are arch rivals in the hair oil segment with different products and have been waging a turf war for a long time to establish dominance in the market. In past, both the brands have taken to comparative advertising to counter each other.
The matter has already been brought to ASCI notice and the industry watchdog has clearly stated that 'While making comparative claims, the important point to consider is whether the advertisement is making a fair comparison. ASCI code does not permit denigration.' ASCI codes (Chapter 4.1) clearly states that advertisements containing comparisons with other manufacturers or suppliers or with other products including those where a competitor is named, are permissible in the interests of vigorous competition and public enlightenment provided.
The code further points that comparisons should be factual, accurate, and capable of substantiation. There are further several design requirements that are also needed to be met by the brand and advertising agencies in the comparative ads.
Till the filing of this report, Dabur declined to comment and spokespersons at Marico was unavailable for a comment.
Here are some examples of ad wars that have kept the consumers excited in India.
Pepsi – Coca Cola
It is the most renowned ad war in India. During the ICC World Cup 1996, Coca-Cola joined the tournament as an official drinks partner and went ahead with an advertising blitzkrieg. In order to counter it, Pepsi launched a TVC featuring top cricketers of different teams with the tagline, 'Nothing Official About it'. It is deemed as the most classic case of ambush marketing.
Amul vs Britannia
In the recent times, Britannia and Amul got involved in the 'Cookie war'. It all began with Amul releasing a print ad claiming that its cookies have 25% butter. It also asked consumers on Twitter to check and compare the proportion of butter other cookies which were manufactured by its competitors contain. Amul in its communication highlighted that other biscuit manufacturers use vegetable oil instead of butter with just about 4% butter. Interestingly, Britannia came back with a reply addressing a health-conscious consumer, Britannia asked, 'How much cholesterol does a 25% butter cookie have?'
And finally, the empire strikes back! The big daddy of Indian biscuit empire fires the long-overdue salvo against A… https://t.co/LjDOgRuAqB

TOI vs The Hindu
The two publishing giants - The Time of India and The Hindu clashed to gain supremacy in South India. In 2012, TOI launched a wake-up campaign in South India showing that readers go off to sleep as most of the other newspapers are filled with 'boring' news. The Hindu, replied with the 'Stay Ahead of the Times' ad showing people were ignorant about 'serious' news and were updated with 'Bollywood' gossip as they read the TOI (the brand name was beeped out).
Tide vs Rin
The two washing powder giants got into a huge advertising scuffle following the release of a campaign from Rin wherein it directly attacked its arch rival Tide. Several experts had then pointed that the brand broke all rules to engage audiences while competing with the brand.
Micromax vs Samsung and Apple
Micromax, once a leading brand in the mobile handset industry, launched a massive campaign titled, 'Nuts Guts Glory'. The idea behind the brand campaign was to highlight the progress over the company as Micromax 3.0. The company's aim was to position itself as an integrated device player.
Reliance Jio vs Airtel
Mukesh Ambani led Reliance Jio in its launch campaign claimed to be the fastest telecom network in the country. However, its competitor Airtel didn't agree to the claim. The brand launched used independent speed test platform Ookla and claimed to be the fastest and launched a massive ad campaign to reiterate the claim.

Kathy Gibson reports from the Maritime and Coastal Security conference in Cape Town – A vertical take-off and landing unmanned aerial surveillance (VTOL UAS) system will help to address many of the issues raised by naval personnel about the difficulties in addressing piracy and sea crime in African waters.
Commander Thomas Ljungqvist, operations analyst at SAAB Aeronautics, Sweden, points out that there are a number of reasons why an unmanned craft fits the need.
There is the ability to "triple D", Ljungqvist says. This stands for dull – it can get boring out there; dangerous – it can operate in any threat environment; and dirty – it can operate in any environment.
The Martime VTOL UAS can provide situational awareness beyond the horizon, it provides realtime imager and intelligence, increase the range on the AIS; provides identification with high confidence and provides realtime documentation of events.
In an operational environment, the area is usually large and difficult to cover with conventional tools because sensor ranges are too short. In addition, rough weather conditions hamper efforts.
IN this environment, a VTOL UAS can provide realtime imagery immediately, with confident identification.
Ljungqvist says the craft enhances the ship's capabilities. It aids in personnel survivability and safety, offering fast and sae penetration of enemy lines.
A UAV increases the surveillance range from 17 nautical miles to 32 nautical miles, Ljungqvist adds.
The VTOL UAS has a patrol height of 300m to 500m at a speed of about 55 knots. It can carry out a sea surveillance pattern of 100kn from the ship, and can be carried out while the ship is sailing.
This kind of craft allows counter-piracy missions to monitor suspected pirates, on shore or at sea.
Design requirements for VTOL UAS include airworthiness, with the ability to develop light an mission capabilities certified for all airspace classifications. They must be available for best usability and time in the air. They must also be easy to operate with autonomous functions and intuitive man-machine interfaces. And they must be affordable.
Payloads could include EO.IR sensors, laser range funder and laser pointer, a high performance SAR, AIS, communications relay, SIGINT/ELINT, 3D rapid mapping processing or an active off board decoy.
Using a VTOL UAS for maritime operations means that they should be adaptive to different environments, it needs a landing gear and a heavy fuel engine. It should be fitted with maritime mission payloads, and should have automatic take-off and landing. The vessel should have desk arresting equipment and floating devices.
The a UAS control station, there are a number of requirements: it needs to be intuitive and easy to operate; ensure airworthiness and safety; ability to provide mission planning, training, execution, processing and evaluation. It should be integrated into the ships command management system.
In terms of integration, the CMS needs to be integrated, along with the data link with C2 and sensor data links. On the physical side, there are a number of requirements to ensure integration.
A VTOL UAS offers high readiness, with standby for day and night.
