CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) - A top administrator at the University of Iowa's medical school was stabbed to death early Wednesday at an apartment. Dr. Richard P. Nelson, a 55-year-old executive dean, was found by police before daybreak and died at a hospital.
A woman was being interviewed about the stabbing, police said.
No other details were immediately released.
Nelson lived in Iowa City, where the medical school is located, about 30 miles from the Cedar Rapids apartment.
He came to the university in 1987 as a professor of pediatrics and was nationally known for his work with children with developmental disabilities.

Anybody else believe the demons have been set loose?
Okay, john hk, go find out who did this one so you can save us all some work and we can stop looking for some wild-eyed, hair-brained, off-the-wall, idiotic, numbskull, moronic, tin-foil, glassy-eyed conspiracy.
What did I leave out?
Another case of "Hell hath no fury . . . . . "?
Have you ever been to a conference where the speaker gets online and puts his monitor up on the screen so everyone can see it live? The best (and funniest) one I've seen was a female who was demonstrating the pervasiveness of cyber-child molesters. She hooked up to IM with a name like "YoungThang," then went to an innocent-sounding teen Yahoo chat room and listed her age as early teens. Within seconds, she received dozens of sexually suggestive IM's.
As a side note, she also had videoconferencing ability. Within 3 minutes of being IM'd, she picked one of the online men at random and put up a still shot of herself from the neck up. I won't give the details of what she received in return. The entire audience was laughing hysterically, as you can imagine, and she finally had to shut the screen down so we would stop laughing over her talking. But I digress...
I said all that to say this: If I were a psyops instructor, FR is where I would go. You could easily use live, online instruction techniques to teach people about group dynamics and crowd manipulation. What a great environment for teaching!
I think I missed my calling. I shoulda joined the CIA. ;-)
I like "disruptor" much better (although either is correct). :-)
And they're so SERIOUS about it, too. Have you noticed how easy it is to picture the usual suspects as gritting their teeth to powder every time you crack wise to them? :-)
Chuckles from the Back of the Room WILL NOT be tolerated in Spook 101!!!!!
(BTW, it's also easy to picture a couple of them in Jodhpurs, Jackboots and a little black mustache:-)
There were Lessons given on that a couple of times on FR, but I didn't need them. I wint to pubic skool.
The thing I'd like to see is the decision-making process on what "screen names" to send on what topic. Do you send one of the "Obvious Ones" to distract attention from the critical questions? Or do you decide this would just attract too much attention so you send one of the "InnocentFactFinders" to lead and a few "Sycophants" to sheepishly follow? Or do you decide to go ahead and send one or two of the "Obvious Ones" because they're so obvious that you know a lot of people automatically dismiss any thread on which they appear? And how do they categorize and rank the topics in terms of "intensity of shilling needed?" It can't be done willy-nilly or they would be stepping on each other's toes. And what are their IM screen names as they talk to each other on the job? How many of them are in the IM chat room at one time talking strategy? I could go on with this all night.
I think I think too much sometimes.
