Classes first met on February 8, 1965, using Concordia High School facilities. On July 1, 1965, the Concordia Junior College became a member of the state system of community Colleges under the name Cloud County Community Junior College. Classes began in the “Commons” building on campus in the fall of 1968. The College was renamed in 1980 and is now known as Cloud County Community College. The Concordia classroom building is comprised of three levels and houses administra- tive, business, faculty, advising, student services, and foundation offices. Classrooms, laboratories, the Library, Cook Theatre, the Learning Skills Center, fitness center, and the gymnasium are also included. A new addition to the original classroom building was constructed in 1999-2000. The addition houses the cafeteria, Admissions and Registrar offices, the College Bookstore, and classrooms. The Technical Education Building houses the Art, Journalism, Graphic Design, and Nursing departments, the Children’s Center, Adult Basic Education and General Education Diploma (ABE/GED) programs. The Chapter 1 Introduction, College Profile, and Accreditation History Cloud County Community College I 2010 Self Study 3 greenhouse, fifteen on-campus apartment buildings, Thunder Heights student housing complex, Hillside Apartments, LaBarge Honors House, and the Earl Bane Observatory comprise the remaining facilities on Campus Drive of the Concordia campus. In 2008, the College leased classroom space a few blocks from the Concordia campus for the Wind Energy Technology program. In 1994, Cloud County Community College opened the Grandview Plaza Attendance Center in Junction City to better meet the needs of the population of the southeastern portion of Cloud’s service area. In January 1998, the College moved from Grandview Plaza to a location on the west edge of Junction City that parallels US Highway 77. This campus is composed of three buildings and offers a full range of academic programs and student support services. The College’s ABE/GED program and the Early Childhood Resource and Referral programs have classroom and office space at the Geary County Campus (GCC) as well. The Geary County Campus is an integral part of Cloud County Community College, although its campus is distinguished by its own architecture and campus plan, is separated by 90 miles from Concordia, and serves a more diverse student population. Cloud County Community College is one of 26 public two-year community and technical colleges in Kansas and is coordinated by the Kansas Board of Regents. CCCC’s service area encompasses a 12-county area primarily in north central Kansas with its two campuses in Concordia and Junction City. It encompasses Smith, Jewell, Republic and Washington counties to the north that border the Kansas – Nebraska state line, and includes Osborne, Lincoln, Ottawa, Dickinson, Clay, Mitchell, and Geary counties to the south. Concordia Campus Geary Campus According to the 2008 census figures, CCCC’s service area includes 105,840 or 3.78% of the state’s population and 9,043.72 square miles or 11.05% of the state. From April 2000 to June 2008, Clay (0.4% increase) and Geary (11.9% increase) were the only counties in the College’s service area to have shown population

  • The Selectivity of the Na /K
    RESEARCH ARTICLE The selectivity of the Na+/K+-pump is controlled by binding site protonation and self-correcting occlusion Huan Rui1, Pablo Artigas2, BenoıˆtRoux1* 1Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, The University of Chicago, Chicago, United States; 2Department of Cell Physiology and Molecular Biophysics, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Lubbock, United States Abstract The Na+/K+-pump maintains the physiological K+ and Na+ electrochemical gradients across the cell membrane. It operates via an ’alternating-access’ mechanism, making iterative transitions between inward-facing (E1) and outward-facing (E2) conformations. Although the general features of the transport cycle are known, the detailed physicochemical factors governing the binding site selectivity remain mysterious. Free energy molecular dynamics simulations show that the ion binding sites switch their binding specificity in E1 and E2. This is accompanied by small structural arrangements and changes in protonation states of the coordinating residues. Additional computations on structural models of the intermediate states along the conformational transition pathway reveal that the free energy barrier toward the occlusion step is considerably increased when the wrong type of ion is loaded into the binding pocket, prohibiting the pump cycle from proceeding forward. This self-correcting mechanism strengthens the overall transport selectivity and protects the stoichiometry of the pump cycle. DOI: 10.7554/eLife.16616.001 Introduction *For correspondence: roux@ The Na+/K+-pump is a primary active membrane transporter present in nearly all animal cells. It uchicago.edu belongs to the P-type ATPase family, which utilizes the energy released from ATP hydrolysis to Competing interests: The move ions against their concentration gradients across a membrane barrier.

  • The Kansas Immigrants Ii
    THE KANSAS IMMIGRANTS II Division of Continuing Education andKANU The University of Kansas THE KANSAS IMMIGRANTS II The Division of Continuing Education KANU The University of Kansas The Kansas Immigrant Series was produced by the University of Kansas Division of Continuing Education and KANU radio with support from the Kansas Committee for the Humanities National Public Radio, and the National Endow'ment for the Humanities. Copyright 1981 The University of Kansas Cover Design Jan Morris and Charli Frederick The Kansas Immigrants II The Kansas Immigrants II follows the highly successful radio series The Kansas Immigrants. The material for this second-year series has been broadcast on radio programs and published as newspaper articles. This bound volume contains the newspaper articles, which differ slightly in to'rm and content from the radio version. A bound volume of scripts is also available for the first-year series. The radio programs for both series are available on audio- cassettes. The Kansas Immigrants II addresses a number of issues: the efforts of immigrants to assimilate to the larger society while attempting to maintain their own ethnic identity, the occasional violence in the meeting of different cultures in formerly homogeneous communities, and the problem of understanding different family values and lifestyles from one culture to another. It also examines the difficulties in preserving ethnic heritage; the oppre~sion, segregation, and exploitation of ethnic minorities; the contributions of ethnic groups to the arts and cuisine; and the role of the ethnic church or organization in nurturing its members. The first series dealt with immigration to Kansas prior to 1920; the second-year programs dip back in time to pick up a few early topics but concen- trate mainly on developments after 1920.

  • Comprehensive Plan
    CONCORDIA 2011 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Adopted August 3, 2011 Ordinance # 2011-3017 Steering Committee Steve Champlin Judie Deal Mike Gallagher Thea-Dora Lineberry LaDonna Peltier Dennis Smith Suzy Tuggle Planning Commission Secretary Bruno Rehbein Consultants Jim Kaup, Kaup & Shultz Wynndee Lee, AICP 8.05.11 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY An Overview to the Concordia 2011 Comprehensive Plan One primary purpose of this Comprehensive Plan is to provide a rational basis for zoning decisions, patterns of land use, and actions (both public and private) affecting the physical development of Concordia as well as its economic development. This Plan seeks to coordinate publicly-financed capital improvements, such as streets, sewers and water lines, with private development activities that produce homes and businesses. Another primary purpose of this Plan is to identify and articulate the needs and desires of the citizens of Concordia. While undertaking such a task is always challenging – and results are inherently subject to differing interpretations – this Plan enjoys the benefit of a lengthy survey completed by a significant percentage of citizens. These survey results – which are reported in detail throughout the text of the Plan – are supplemented by input from other sources from the community. That input – both fact and opinion – was reviewed and measured by the Concordia Planning Commission. This document is the workproduct of those two bodies, composed of citizens who are knowledgeable of their community’s past, its present, and who desire to convey and energize the possibilities for the future. This Comprehensive Plan, once it is adopted by the Concordia City Commission, is the City’s official policy guide for future development.

RESTORING THE LIGHT: MINISTRY TO GERMAN PRISONERS OF WAR IN AMERICA DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR Melissa Weldon Master of Arts degree in History University of Richmond 2003 Thesis Director: Professor John D. Treadway Abstract: In 1942, the United States committed itself to the retention of German prisoners of war on American soil. Over 350,000 German soldiers lived and worked in several hundred camps throughout the contiguous United States. These prisoners required not only food and shelter, but spiritual care as well. The Geneva Convention of 1929 granted prisoners of war the right to worship according to their faith. The United States government not only permitted, but also encouraged, ministry to the prisoners in its care. Relying on the assistance of international relief organizations and national church bodies, the Office of the Provost Marshal General arranged for Lutheran pastors and Catholic priests to counsel and minister to the captive Gennans.
