Sikorsky announces 600 layoffs over next several weeks
Most of those affected work in state
STRATFORD >> Sikorsky Aircraft announced Friday afternoon that it is eliminating 600 jobs in the next several weeks as a result of what it called "the challenging and unstable economic conditions that continue to affect our industry."
Most of the jobs being eliminated are in Connecticut, said Paul Jackson, a company spokesman. The layoffs are roughly split between salaried and hourly employees, Jackson said.
"The salaried employee positions will be cut over the next several weeks, while many of the hourly positions will be eliminated over the remainder of the year as work winds down," he said. Sikorsky has 3,900 hourly employees in Connecticut and 4,300 salaried workers in the state and 16,000 employees company-wide, according to Jackson.
The layoffs follow "significant cost-reduction actions that the company has already taken," the company said in a statement.
"These decisions are always difficult to make but necessary to protect the company's competitiveness and future," the statement said. "As is our practice, we will provide transition assistance for those employees who are affected."
Word of a major layoff coming at Sikorsky surfaced earlier this week, but representatives of Local 1150 of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which represents hourly workers at the company's Stratford plant, could not be reached for comment.
The layoffs at Sikorsky weren't the only negative employment news coming Friday out of Connecticut.
Documents obtained from the state Department of Labor show that as many as 269 Verizon Wireless employees are at risk of losing their jobs as the company consolidates its operations in the state. The filings came a little more than a week after Verizon Wireless announced that Connecticut was part of a large company reorganization.
The data from the Labor Department about Verizon Wireless came from a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act filing the telecommunications company made with the state Friday.
Verizon is reorganizing its Connecticut workforce, consolidating operations into its facility at 20 Alexander Drive in Wallingford and vacating leased facilities in Meriden and Rocky Hill.
Verizon Wireless spokesman Michael Murphy said the company is making every effort to find jobs for as many of the workers as possible who are affected by the consolidation. Murphy said efforts are being made to find the workers other jobs in Connecticut or elsewhere in the country.
Those who are not able to find other jobs within Verizon Wireless will be offered severance packages, he said.
The Sikorsky workers who are being laid off are also being offered severance packages, but Jackson said the company doesn't comment on those details.
Friday's layoff announcement comes in response to significant cuts to the rotocraft portion of the defense budget, said Richard Aboulafia, vice president of analysis for the Teal Group, an industry analyst in Virginia.
"The rotocraft portion of the defense budget is under very heavy pressure," Aboulafia said. "It was the portion of the defense budget that grew the fastest as the U.S. entered the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq and it is now the portion that is receiving the most scrutiny in terms of cuts."
Aboulafia said it is "highly likely" there will be more layoffs at Sikorsky.
Reaction from state and federal lawmakers to Sikorsky's layoff announcement was swift.
"These layoffs are a deep disappointment," U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said in a statement. "I will continue my focus on growing and protecting good, high-skilled manufacturing jobs in Connecticut and work with Sikorsky leadership as they develop long-term plans to keep these jobs in Connecticut."
U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-3, said she was "deeply troubled" by the news.
"These layoffs devastate these workers' lives and those of their families, while hurting our community," DeLauro said in a statement. "I am ready to help those affected in any way I can and I will continue to fight for key defense programs so that Sikorsky can manufacture more helicopters."
DeLauro and Blumenthal, along with U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., visited the plant in January to discuss the company's future with executives.
State Sen. Kevin Kelly, R-Stratford, said southern Connecticut's economy "will suffer greatly" because of the jobs being lost.
"Right now my top concern is to help the displaced workers," Kelly said in a statement.
David Cadden, a professor of entrepreneurship and strategy in the Quinnipiac University School of Business, said the job cuts at Sikorsky could be a prelude to a sale of the company that has been rumored for weeks.
"What is most interesting about these current rounds of layoffs is that they coincide with rumors that UTC, the parent company, is considering spinning off or selling Sikorsky," Cadden said in a statement. "UTC hasn't commented on these rumors, but Sikorsky's decline in profit margins and sales might cause them to think about a sale. Layoffs which might burnish the books might also make Sikorsky a more attractive candidate for acquisition."
Jackson said the rumors of a possible sale or spin-off are unfounded.
Cadden said Sikorsky is not alone among its defense industry peers in trying to reduce its expenses.
"Curtailment of the military budget and uncertainty about future funding of military projects has made many firms in the defense industry cautious," Cadden said. "Add to this that in recent years Sikorsky's has seen a significant decline in the proportion of Pentagon spending on rotorcraft. Future helicopter projects — for the military — are years, if not decades, down the road."

Kozma using spring to implement plate adjustments
JUPITER, Fla. -- Having arrived at camp cognizant of how far he has fallen on the shortstop depth chart, Pete Kozma will spend the spring trying to fix the swing that gave him so many fits a year ago.
The work actually started in earnest late last season when Kozma was in the midst of finishing the last two months with 12 hits in 85 at-bats. He and hitting coach John Mabry identified three needed tweaks -- shorten the swing, don't let the front side fly open, keep from pulling anything -- and they remain priorities for Kozma this spring.
"I can definitely feel and see [that] the ball flight is different," Kozma said. "I can definitely feel the difference."
Improving on the offensive end is a must for Kozma, whose defensive ability is not enough to warrant him a spot on the 25-man roster. He has already lost his starting job to shortstop Jhonny Peralta, the Cardinals' biggest signing of the offseason. And with Daniel Descalso around and able to play short, there isn't an obvious place for Kozma as a backup either.
He knows it has everything to do with the way things went in 2013, a year that opened with him as the everyday shortstop and closed with the Cardinals desperately seeking production from the position. In between, pitchers changed how they approached Kozma; he never could adapt.
"I couldn't adjust quickly enough," Kozma said on Wednesday. "I couldn't get on base. I couldn't get hits. It was affecting everything. But now I look back on it, and it's helped me that much more."
If Kozma didn't already know his standing, it has become clear in workouts. The Cardinals have spread their infielders among two fields -- Kozma is on the field with five other Minor Leaguers. Finding a way to offer more offensively is the ticket to playing his way back into the more experienced mix.
"The thing is, and I think he realized it at the time, but sometimes in the middle of battle, it's hard to make changes," said Ozzie Smith, a guest instructor this spring who has shared advice with Kozma. "But I see that he has worked extremely hard this winter in cutting down his swing. It was one of the things that I had to work on as an offensive player.
"You have to be able to put the ball in play. If you're not a power-hitting guy, you can't be striking out as much as Pete is striking out. His talents are too good for him not to be a better offensive player. And I think he's taken heed of that, and I see him taking batting practice now and he's driving the ball the other way, which is very important for him."

Godalming Drain Relining and Drain Lining Repairs
Have a broken drain that needs relining in or around Godalming? SaS Drainage & Groundworks have local Godalming drain lining specialists on call to deal with these sorts of drain issues. There are many ways to repair broken drains, and we are specialists at drain lining and drain relining using state of the art no dig technology.
No Dig Drain Lining in Godalming
More and more technology is becoming available on the market, which allows drains to be repaired without having to dig up and disturb the ground. Drain relining is the most common type of no dig technology.
Drain relining consists of impregnating a polyester sleeve with resin and inserting it into the drain covering any cracks, holes, mis-aligned joints and entry points for roots. Then using air inversion or water inversion we inflate the sleeve.
The sleeve will harden over a few hours and allow us to remove the inflation hose leaving you with a sealed length of pipework with no joints. You lose approx. 6mm diameter which will not affect the drain flow but you will gain effectively a new drain run.
Price Match Promise
We fix drains on a permanent basis, never temporary. Whether it's by excavating onto broken pipes or no dig structural lining……we are confident that we will beat any like for like repair quotation with just two conditions:
- It is made by another reputable drainage specialist/company

LOS ANGELES, April 5 (UPI) -- Jonathan Bernier made 22 saves to record a shutout Thursday and Los Angeles scored on its first two shots in downing Minnesota 3-0.
Minnesota lost its third in a row and fourth in five games after winning seven straight. The Wild not only dropped two points behind Vancouver in the race for the Northwest Division title but also fell behind Los Angeles into a tie with San Jose for fifth place in the Western Conference.
Justin Williams and Jeff Carter scored in the game's first 3:07 and after allowing two goals on as many shots Minnesota goaltender Niklas Backstrom was replaced by Darcy Kuemper. It was Kuemper's fifth appearance of the season and he surrendered one goal on 12 shots.
Williams produced his second goal of the game 3:52 into the second.
Bernier, in his fifth season as backup goaltender for the Kings, posted his first shutout of the year and the sixth of his career.

TV host Byron Allen buys in BevHills for $17 million
Broadcast syndication company head Byron Allen seems to be doing his part to help the Westside real estate market. The stand-up comic and TV show host bought an estate in Beverly Hills for $17 million and is now listing a place in the Hollywood Hills West area for $8.995 million.
The contemporary mansion he bought sits behind gates on more than an acre. A two-story entry leads to a living room with retractable floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open to an infinity pool and a terrace. The nearly 13,000 square feet of living space includes a library, a dining room that can seat 18, a bar, a den, seven bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. It last changed hands in 2007 for $15.9 million.
The house he is selling is a Richard Landry-designed contemporary, built in 1962, in the celebrity-populated Bird Streets area. With 3,540 square feet of living space, four bedrooms and 41/2 bathrooms, the house features high ceilings and expansive city views. The third-acre property includes a motorcourt, swimming pool and a spa. Public records show he bought the house in late 2003 for $3.2 million.
Allen, 51, produces and distributes shows through his Entertainment Studios. He is executive producer for "Comics Unleased" (2006-present) and the pilot of "The First Family," a comedy-drama about a black family in the White House.
Jeffrey Hyland and Barbara Tenenbaum of Hilton & Hyland were the listing agents on the Beverly Hills manse, and Terence Hill represented the buyer, according to the Multiple Listing Service. Barbara Robinson and Nichelle Robinson have the listing on the Hollywood Hills West property.

Son indicted in beating death of father
'I didn't mean to do it. Don't die,' suspect allegedly says
A 20-year-old Weymouth man has been indicted on charges in connection with his father's beating death.
Michael Beaudry, 20, was indicted Thursday on manslaughter charges by a Norfolk County Grand Jury in the February 4 assault that killed his father Ronald.
Beaudry is accused of striking his father with a length of plastic pipe in the street outside the family home in Weymouth following a verbal exchange, causing his father to fall.
Beaudry was beside his father holding him and pleading for help when authorities arrived. He was charged with murder on the night of the incident and pled not guilty.
"They were doing CPR," neighbor Tommy Antonowicz said. "They handcuffed (another man) and took him away. He was screaming, 'I didn't mean to do it. I'm sorry, don't die.'"
Previously, a spokesman for the Norfolk District Attorney's office said Beaudry appears to have died from blunt force trauma.
No arraignment date has yet been set.

Jeffrey Eugenides published his first novel at 33 after he was fired from his position as executive secretary at the Academy of American Poets. The reason he lost his job? He was spending too much time at work honing the manuscript of his debut novel "The Virgin Suicides" (1993).
"Middlesex," his second novel, earned Eugenides a Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 2002.
"The Marriage Plot," just released in October, is Eugenides' third novel which took him nine years to complete. The story centers around three college students – Madeleine, Leonard, and Mitchell – all of whom graduate from Brown College in 1982.
The book is a postmodernist take on the original marriage plot within the Victorian novel. A lot of the time, it is also a novel about other novels, in which the characters spend their time discussing Derrida, Tolstoy, Austen, and Hemingway. The second half of the book moves away from literary theory, and in some colorful scenes set in Paris, Calcutta, and New York, Eugenides explores the difficulties of dealing with mental illness, failed romance, and one man's battle with his faith in religion. And of course Eugenides also returns to his central source of inspiration: the coming-of-age story.
Eugenides recently spoke to the Monitor about the extent of free will, why semiotics is needlessly convoluted, and how reading James Joyce nearly made him choose a career in religion over a career in writing.
Your new novel moves more towards realism than your previous work. Why the change in style?
I've always considered myself a realist at heart. I've never written a book that violated physical principles. My books often have an atmosphere of the fantastic or
the surreal, but actually nothing happens in them that couldn't happen in reality, so I don't know if this book is that much of a departure in terms of realism.
What is the reason for putting so much literary theory at the start of your new novel?
There was a lot of literary theory in my life when I was in college, and as soon as I graduated, it began to fade away, as it does in my novel. It was a very passionate time for reading, as I recall, and a time when what you were reading was influencing the person you thought you were, or becoming, so I couldn't imagine these characters without all the books they were reading.
The French literary theorists you speak about in the book – Derrida, Foucault and Barthes – are they writers you return to, and do you respect their work?
Jacques Derrida is a very important thinker and philosopher who has made serious contributions to both philosophy and literary criticism. Roland Barthes is the
one I feel most affinity for, and Michel Foucault, well, his writing influenced my novel, "Middlesex." They are important writers for me, but I resist some of their more dire conclusions: the end of the novel, the inability to convey meaning in a text, and the death of the author.
Are you also poking fun at these writers at the same time?
There is no question that the style of the semiotic writers was needlessly convoluted. It almost became ridiculous. I make a certain amount of fun in the book at that. There are easier ways to describe things.
Why do you write so much about death and suicide?
I think the suicides in my first book came from the idea of growing up in Detroit. If you grow up in a city like that, you feel everything is perishing, evanescent, and going away very quickly. The suicides of those girls in that book represented the dying of my hometown. I almost wasn't writing about suicides as such, but the brevity of life, or the impermanence of all things. With this book, it's more that I was interested in mental illness and insanity than suicide.
Do you see Detroit as a microcosm of America, an empire that is perishing?
I see Detroit as emblematic of a large swath of the United States, not the entire country. The cities that were once powerful and are now greatly reduced – Milwaukee, Cleveland, Detroit, St Louis, Cincinnati. They are all in dire straits. I think Detroit is a microcosm, or a reflection of a lot of American culture, from
Motown all the way to Eminem. It seems like a really interesting city in that way.
Would you say the group of writers that you were mixing with in the '90s (Jonathan Franzen, David Means, and David Foster Wallace) influenced a
culture of writing that was happening at the time?
We were never a group of writers that influenced each other, at least as far as I'm concerned. I met Franzen because our editor introduced us. While he was
writing "The Corrections," and I was writing "Middlesex," we had a big exchange, talked about the novel, and the perils of the death of literature. We were a support system for each other, and he kept me from my darkest thoughts about the death of the novel. I didn't know Wallace at all, Franzen knew Wallace. I was already formed as a writer by the time I met any of those guys.
Is the character of Leonard in "The Marriage Plot" based on David Foster Wallace?
Anyone reading Leonard's character who thinks it connects with David Foster Wallace's life I would say is mistaken.
What about the bandanna that Leonard wears in the novel, and the fact that he suffers from depression also? Isn't that similar to David Foster Wallace?
The bandanna that Leonard wears, I put that on him because of Axl Rose, the singer from Guns N' Roses. There are some things in Leonard that are reminiscent of Wallace, like Leonard putting the tobacco tin in his boot. Wallace used to put his tobacco tin in his sock. But the totalities of the two characters are completely different. Leonard's parents are divorced, Wallace's were not; Leonard is from Portland, Wallace was not; Leonard grew up very poor, Wallace did not; Leonard is a biologist, Wallace was not; Leonard gets married at 22, Wallace did not; Wallace was a writer with depression, a very different disease to manic depression. I could go on and on. If you look at the two of them, they are not very alike.
You write about genes and biology in this book, as you do in your second novel "Middlesex." What are your own views on the gene-centered view of
If you talk to geneticists, they are constantly finding that your genes are being switched on and off because of the environment. Genes alone do not determine an exact path in your life. It's a strong influence, and you can't discount it, but it's not that simple, it's much more complex. The part that's not determined is where free will exists, and I think it is important to remind people of the extent of our free will. An entirely mechanistic view of life is not only inaccurate, it is rather depressing, I think.
Was the character of Mitchell in "The Marriage Plot" based on a younger Jeffrey Eugenides?
One part of Mitchell's story that comes close to my life is that I did take a lot of religious studies courses in college and got very interested in religion and thought
about converting to Catholicism, even though I was brought up as a Greek Orthodox. I thought I wanted to become a scholar of religion, and I chose not to do that, and to keep pursuing writing. In a very grandiose, self-dramatizing way, I thought of Stephen Dedalus in James Joyce's "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" rejecting the priesthood and becoming a writer in the same way. That's the level to which Joyce influenced me. It's amazing because it changed certain decisions in my life. That is my point about "The Marriage Plot." You read books and they change your life.

They're analogue, they don't have autofocus — and there's no flash. But that's precisely the point when it comes to Lomos.
It feels like no self-respecting hipster is without one of these lo-fi pointer-and-shooters these days, and now Lomography Gallery Store East London wants to take the obsession to the next level. From tomorrow, the store will host a new exhibition, Let's Play Sardines. Lomography asked 25 U.K. artists, illustrators, designers and photographers to pimp their own La Sardina DIY, and we have to admit they put your average digital SLR to shame.
Participants include Pete Fowler, Kid Acne, the Broken Hearts, and Supermundane, and the results are undeniably awesome (we'll skim over our concerns that the aesthetic awesomeness has eclipsed the ability to actually take photos, in some cases). Take a look at the slideshow to see what we mean.
Fancy a Lomo geek-out? Come along! It's totally free!
Where: Lomography Gallery Store East, 117 Commercial Street; 020 74260999; exhibition takes place from January 17 until February 4

Sound off for Jan. 21
All you wanting to stop killings like Newtown. Think -- Here is where a major problem lies. Ask yourself -- Why in the month following the Newtown shooting has there been at least one threatened copy-cat school shooting in that state? Quick search shows two. Gee, could it be the nature of the media coverage? Now suppose that all accounts of all shootings of the innocent stressed the cowardly nature of the act of somebody who would rather go down in flames, killing the innocent rather than simply talk? I can make guns. I can make explosives. I can quickly and easily make a magazine that holds many rounds. The only people that abide by the law are law abiding and the vast majority of gun owners are as law abiding as anybody. Why punish them for the misdeeds of a fraction of a percentage of the population when it will in fact, do nothing but make people feel good for having done something. As a side note, the more oppression people feel, the more likely the wackos will come out of the woodwork.
Intentionally Mislabeled: We continually hear the phrase "assault rifle". Assault rifles are fully automatic rifles that are not issued are allowed in the civilian population. The guns used in recent attacks have been intentionally mislabeled to create legislation to remove these mislabeled guns from the civilian population. Our Second Amendment was created for the citizens right to defend themselves from an organized militia(overpowerfull government). Let's take into consideration our Founding Fathers just fought a war to liberate themselves from a tyranny form of government. They had enough foreknowledge to place this in our Bill of Rights knowing the possibility may occur again. Thus without certain guns removed from the citizens hand your right to defend yourself is now very limited. When the organized militia comes to haul people away your left to throwing rocks at them and calling them names to defend yourself. Not quite that bad but you are left with single shot weapons. Those who continually shout "no one needs an assault rifle" are those individuals who fail to recognize the formation of this great country and fail to honor the Constitution. Law biding citizens ones who honor the Second Amendment are being punished for the acts of others. I agree with post about vehicles and drunk drivers and second hand smoke killing more people. Non-drinking drivers should be punished for the damaged caused by drunk drivers. It's only fair, equal, and impartial. We half-heartedly laugh and joke, blow it off and convince ourselves "that will never happen". Oh really, look at what will be installed in every vehicle made after 2014. A little black box will be placed in your vehicle to monitor your every move. Every vehicle...that means drinker, non-drinker and remember we been lied to and told this is for our safety and protection. Just another incremental step to rob us of rights and freedoms under the guise of looking out "for your safety and protection".
Now that 47 million people are on food stamps, a panel of experts have concluded that they need more money. Turns out food inflation is rising faster than food stamp benefits and that is causing problems for people. Rather than recommend we stop putting corn in our fuel tanks, this group wants more money given away so people can buy better food. The group also cited a lack of affordable food stores in the inner cities. No word on the need to reduce crime in those cities as a way to encourage food stores to move back. Meanwhile, other experts continue the call for a chained CPI for use in calculating cost of living increases for SS recipients. The chained CPI reflects changes in people's buying habits when prices increase. So rather than buy lobster, they switch to steak. Or from steak to chicken. Or from chicken to dog food. That's one possible regression year over year if chained CPI calculations are implemented. So, on the dole? They want to give more money to help with rising food prices. Work all your life and in retirement? They want to move your diet towards dog food. Hopefully, we can enjoy a year of canned dog food before the chained CPI moves us to dried. And then what? Starvation? After all, we need to get Medicare costs under control.

Still hungover from the team spirit of The Heritage Jam, an archaeology hack-a-thon, Stuart Eve and Colleen Morgan decided to blog in dialogue for the Day of Archaeology.
CM: I wasn't sure what to expect. Sure, I knew the basic outlines of what a "Jam" should be in the tech/gaming world–everyone comes together to hack on a project together to see what kind of results you can get with very intense focus for a short amount of time–but how would that play out in the world of interpretation and heritage? I just knew that I was excited to finally have a chance to work on something with other visualizers, some of whom I'd known for years. We started out bright and early at 9:00, went through introductions, got an outline of a plan together, then went to York Cemetery to gather primary data.
After a lot of discussion (and an inadvertent stop in a retirement home for lunch), we went to work. Very quickly each of us were able to step into a niche that worked toward a final product. We elaborated on Shawn Graham and Stu Eve's Historical Friction/Story Whisperer to create a cacophony in a cemetery–geolocated stories emanating from graves that would increase in intensity with the density of burials in different areas. The final product was a website, an app, an interactive map, a short video to show the concept in action and a well-written paradata document. It might have been overkill. Working with a whole team of creatives was an unbelievable rush. We were able to rely on each other for different pieces of work, as well as draw inspiration from the team. We ended up working for 12 hours!
SE: The Jam for me was a refreshing example of 'doing'. I had heard of 'hack-a-thons' or code sprints, where hackers get together and make an app in a day, so it was great to try something similar in archaeology. The real beauty of the day was that each one of our team had discrete skills, and each one of us brought those skills to bear to create something really rather cool. It was frantic, and at one point everyone was huddled around their various computers or drawing tablets working intensely for an hour almost without speaking – but somehow we were all working in concert. At the start of the final hour before submission, everyone started swearing and it looked like we would have nothing, but as is always the way when working with v. talented people when we all swapped our various files, videos and drawings it all fitted together perfectly! It helped that Shawn and I had previously worked on the Historical Friction project, as it meant we started the day with a solid idea to build upon – and could concentrate our efforts on developing the idea and finding out where our skillsets would be useful. The real question for me is where the collaborations and the prototype app goes from here. One of the main problems with hack-a-thons is that the prototype is built, but then all development stops. Hopefully we won't let that happen with Voices Recognition.
CM: As Stu says, while it was fantastic to get together and make something, it would be ideal to have funding to develop the ideas further. We are exploring options to that end. It would also be great to partner with an active project or institution who wants their data to be explored and visualized in new ways. I'd really like to make the other film/auditory walk, but who knows when I'll have time? The Jam did reveal a lot about our individual processes and abilities. I was happy making the film, but when it came to audio editing, I found myself considerably behind the curve. To create the auditory layering, Alexis Pantos and I frantically searched YouTube for potential Creative Commons licensed sources of Northern/Yorkshire accents, male and female and of various ages. Then it came to layering the sound within the film and I absolutely knew there was probably a better way to do it in Final Cut Pro X, but I didn't have time to learn! So I used the relative brute force of keyframes to try to manipulate the sound. I also appreciated the insights to the workflows of other project members. We would help each other out when we found ourselves at a loose end–Sam Kinchin-Smith would finish writing a narrative, grab another group member to do the voice acting/recording, give the file to me, I'd slam it in the video, get Kerrie Hoffman to geolocate the sound in the cemetery on her interactive map, then repeat!
SE: Where Colleen was learning new methods of hacking Final Cut Pro, I was busy wrestling with GIS and javascript – which is often what I do in my day job. The main problem that I had was a lack of data. The burial records were available, but all as PDFs scanned from paper documents and for only a small proportion of the cemetery. We briefly flirted with running them through an OCR program to wrangle them into something useful – but quickly moved on choosing instead to make a hypothetical (read faked-up) dataset to work with. This is one of the unfortunate sides of doing everything fast, is that you are creating an impression of what the final thing would look like – but the back-end data is not always there. However, in the end I spent quite a long time using GIS plugins to create random grave locations and adding fictional data to them. In retrospect, the OCR scanning might have been quicker and more useful in the long run!
I think one of the key parts of the project was to make sure that any of the stories we created for the people buried were based on real data, and Sam did a great job on mining the online census records and literally digging up the facts and figures of the handful of people we had time to research. In the real version this would all have been done programmatically via fancy linked data algorithms (as there are literally thousands of burials) – but Sam's creative writing background and also the skills of the voice actors really brought it to life.
One other part of the day that really struck me, is that in the 'empty' areas of the cemetery (those with no headstones) there are actually hundreds of burials. mostly of people who could not afford a grave marker. I wanted our app to highlight this by playing the thousands of voices of those buried in the empty quarters. So you only become aware of the volume of burials by the volume of the voices that are talking when you walk through them. However, we had no idea what these stories would be, what would their voices say? During the discussion afterwards, one of the participants said that by overlapping the voices of the burials we wouldn't be able to hear the individual stories of the people in the mass burials, but would be privileging the stories of the those buried individually in the mausoleums as there wouldn't be so many other voices trying to tell their story. Anthony Masington then pointed out that the people who had paid to be buried in an individual mausoleum had already privileged themselves, at first visually by setting their grave apart from the others, and now aurally by enabling their story to be heard in relative silence. It seems we didn't just make a cool app, we actually created a new way of experiencing and exploring the cemetery and it made me think about it in a different way. Not bad for a day's hacking! Thanks to the Heritage Jam for a fun and productive day!

Get your Army.ca Swag here!
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
my question is where do i give in my unconditional acceptance from a college and how do i know even if that certain sep programs are open and available
where and how do i apply to the ncm sep program if im already a reservist. I know i need to do a ct and since ima reservist cfrc told me that they cant really help me
Necro thread but what would you like to know George? I'm currently going through it.
I'm hoping someone who has gone through an OT with the NCM SEP program can answer a quick question for me. As I understand it, for everyone one month of paid schooling, you accrue two months of oblig service. Does anyone know when that obligatory service would start?A little background info, OT with the NCM SEP program, graduated college but posted to the BTL waiting to complete training (must go for some PO's that are not taught in civi college). They keep bumping course dates.I guess what I'm really asking is: Does this time count toward obligatory service, or does one have to be fully QL3 qualified before it counts?Thanks for any assistance you can provide!
Would I be able to apply to NCM-STEP if I wanted to pursue a career as a artillery soldier?
How would I be able to get a education plan and be an artillery soldier (not under ROTP)?
Join the reserves. You get $2000 a year to go to post secondary school up to $8000 max. That's the only way you're going to do it.
What is ILP? I can't get a good answer off of the internet. And also, after I am done university (if I go with the reserve plan) can I just go straight to regular force? Thank you for your help.

District Officials Eye Blended Learning, With Cautionary Lessons in Mind
Blended learning is focus at tech event
Backers of blended and online learning arrived here to exchange ideas and learn about practices they can take back to their districts and offices—even as major problems playing out in school districts that have launched outsized technology projects offered reminders of potential consequences when the most ambitious plans go awry.
The annual symposium of the International Association for K-12 Online Learning bills itself as the premier gathering of supporters of blended and online models, and it drew administrators and teachers from school systems large and small. Their needs vary enormously, depending on the technological mix of computer-based and in-person instruction they envision.
The meeting had an estimated 2,400 registered attendees, who also included company officials, philanthropists, researchers, and others—many of whom emphasized that their plans to implement or expand online or blended learning are playing out at a much smaller scale than the ambitious 1-to-1 computing efforts attempted by the Guilford County, N.C., and Los Angeles school systems, where major problems have been reported. But those gathered also spoke of what they see as flaws in approaches used in Los Angeles and other districts, and said they are confident that with enough planning, they can avoid similar mishaps.
"There is just that sense of 'Wow, how do we make sure that doesn't happen to our kids?' " said Don Andrews, the assistant superintendent for secondary instruction in the Lee's Summit R-7 school district, an 18,000-student system in Missouri.
Challenges for Districts
The market is changing and growing:
310,000 students are enrolled in fully online schools serving students from multiple districts, an increase of over 13 percent from last year.
740,000 students are enrolled in state virtual schools in 26 states.
Enrollment grew in some state virtual schools (such as Alabama, Georgia, and Montana) by at least 17 percent, and fell by at least 13 percent in others (including Colorado Connecticut, and Iowa).
Eight states explicitly allow private and home-schooled students to take part in state-backed, supplemental online courses; 21 states do not offer that option; the remaining ones typically have options for private or home-schooled students to pay for online courses, through mechanisms based on specific schools or programs, not state policy.
While Mr. Andrews said his school district doesn't have a true blended-learning model, it is steadily increasing its online instruction. One of its major goals for the next few years is to increase the "density" of its online connectivity, so that students have reliable connections in every classroom, even while the demand increases as students and teachers are using myriad mobile devices at the same time. The district is gradually shifting toward a "bring-your-own-device" approach to technology, he said.
Meeting those goals will mean increasing the number of wireless access points throughout the district, Mr. Andrews said. "Kids don't care how many access points you have," he said. "They care about having [wireless technology] that works just as well as it does at the local McDonald's."
The 664,000-student Los Angeles school district's rollout of an effort to provide iPads to every student over several years, at a cost that could reach $500 million, has been dogged by a series of problems. There have been questions about the exact cost of individual devices, students' demonstrated ability to circumvent security filters on the tools—and, as reported recently by Education Week, questions about the readiness of curriculum developed by Pearson that is designed to be embedded in the devices.
Meanwhile, technical troubles with 1-to-1 computing initiatives have emerged in smaller districts. In the 73,000-student Guilford County, N.C., school system, which is planning a 1-to-1 effort, district officials suspended the deployment of tablets and other equipment provided by the company Amplify after reports of equipment problems. And in Fort Bend, Texas, district officials abandoned a plan that had been in the works for a year and a half to provide science curriculum with iPads, after a consultant cited a litany of problems with the project's standards, management, and integration with the district's existing curriculum.
While a number of school administrators at the conference cautioned against drawing broad conclusions from those districts' experiences, they also said the high-profile troubles are instructive in some ways—though not in the ways one might expect.
A number of conference attendees, for instance, said they thought the concerns about Los Angeles students' security breaches, and the district's response to it, were overblown. Overly restrictive policies risk thwarting students' creativity, and don't offer schools the opportunity to reinforce lessons on responsible technology use, they argued.
Simply taking devices away or putting overly aggressive restrictions on them risk "punishing the masses for the mistakes of the few," said John David Son, the director of instrutional technology for the Naperville, Ill., Community Unit School District 203. "We like to use [those incidents] as teachable moments."
Mr. Son's 17,000-student district is partnering with nearby school systems in trying to improve its technology. It is also expanding its wireless access, considering options for moving ahead with a bring-your-own device model, and trying to integrate technology with improved teaching practices, he said.
"We have to know there are going to be bumps along the way," Mr. Son said.
Beyond the Devices
Many district officials at the conference said while they hoped to glean some cautionary lessons from the experiences of Los Angeles, Guilford County, and other districts, they also noted their district technology plans are typically smaller scale, and have much different goals—a view echoed by Susan D. Patrick, the president and CEO of the online learning association, known as iNACOL, hosting the event.
A core message Ms. Patrick said was being driven home at the event is that districts need to focus first on their instructional needs, and how they can personalize learning to meet the specific needs of students of different ability levels—and only then seek technology to help them get there. "This is not about 1-to-1 and giving kids tablets and all that—that's been said a hundred times here," Ms. Patrick said.
Questions about buying this or that technology "should be the last thing you ask," she said. "It should be about, what is the educational goal you want to reach, what is the instructional practice, and what is the content" you need?
Finding the right content is particularly difficult for districts, because that content needs to match their educational demands, Ms. Patrick added. Districts also need to be focused on how they're going to collect data that offers precise, transparent information on student learning, and ensure "multiple pathways for learning."
"That's a very different conversation than, 'What are the apps on my tablet?' " she said. Ms. Patrick said districts have much more information on how to use blended and online learning than they did a few years ago, in terms of making sure technology is aligned with academic goals and individual student needs.
One resource meant to provide districts with direction was released at the conference, "Keeping Pace With K-12 Online and Blended Learning," an annual report about virtual education produced by the Evergreen Education Group. The document includes a section on "planning for quality," meant to help guide district leaders through various challenges while moving into blended learning, from training teachers to choosing technology to setting realistic deadlines.
While disheartening, the technology difficulties in Los Angeles and other districts should prod school leaders to set clear objectives for what they want to accomplish educationally, and how technology can help, said John Watson, the founder of Evergreen, a consulting organization based in Colorado.
The temptation in districts is to "layer on technology, buy a bunch of devices," Mr. Watson said. "That story is happening in countless districts around the country." The difference in Los Angeles, he said, "is the order of magnitude."

Tension fuelled by election and UN bid
Even before Israel launched the missile strike that killed the leader of Hamas's military wing overnight, local media observed that senior government ministers appeared to be making an unseemly dash towards the cameras in the country's south.
The Knesset elections, scheduled for January 22, along with the determination of the Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, to push for enhanced status at the United Nations later this month in the face of a furious campaign by Israel, had somehow put its leaders on the back foot.
So when Gaza militants escalated their rocket fire on southern Israel in response to a series of targeted attacks by Israel that killed seven Palestinians, including five civilians, the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, promised not to sit idly by.
Now Ahmed Said Khalil al-Jabari and his deputy, as well as eight civilians – including two children – are dead and Hamas is threatening retaliation, leaving two civilian populations, one in Gaza and the other in southern Israel, caught in the middle.
"It is impossible to prove that there is a connection between the decisions that the government will make to deal with the rocket fire endangering approximately one million Israelis and the upcoming Knesset election," wrote Shimon Shiffer in the mass circulation daily Yedioth Ahronoth.
"But there is definitely a link between the prime minister and ministers' mad dash towards the cameras and microphones in the southern communities and the fact that in 69 days we will be going to the polling stations." Mr Netanyahu's colleagues called for renewed targeted killings in Gaza and advocated cutting off water and electricity to the strip's 1.6 million residents.
The Labor Party chairwoman, Shelly Yachimovich, cautioned earlier in the week that the time was not right for a large operation in the Gaza Strip.
"We are on the eve of elections, and an operation that goes beyond an air strike or a pinpointed strike against the dispatchers of the terrorists requires some kind of stability on our side and a national consensus. Such an operation may be necessary, but not now," she told Army Radio.
Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood accused Israel's leaders of turning up the heat on the conflict with Gaza to score political points ahead of the election.
The statement from the Brotherhood's political wing, the Freedom and Justice Party, referred to Israel as a "racist state" and said it was "in the framework of elections that Israel is witnessing a recent military escalation against occupied Gaza and the occupied Golan Heights".
Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005 but controls its airspace, coastline and most land border crossings.
Mr Netanyahu's colleagues called for renewed targeted killings in Gaza and advocated cutting off water and electricity to the strip's 1.6 million residents.
Its last major incursion into Gaza – Operation Cast Lead – ran for three weeks from December 2008 to January 2009, killing 1400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis.
Middle East Correspondent Ruth Pollard has reported on the Arab revolutions, the battle against the Islamic State, tensions in the West Bank and Egypt's power struggle. Her job has taken her to Libya, Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan, Tunisia and beyond and in 2014 she won a Walkley Award for her coverage of the war in Gaza.

Litchfield Housing Trust withdraws application for affordable housing plan on Route 202
LITCHFIELD >>The Litchfield Housing Trust on Thursday withdrew its application from the Inland-Wetlands Commission for an embattled project to construct nine units of affordable housing on a 12.67-acre site near Friendship Baptist Church on Torrington Road (Route 202), east of the town center.
The withdrawal came a day after some of the project's critics brought their complaints to the Board of Selectmen, raising concerns about water supply in the area and alleging that there was a flaw in the public notice for a town meeting five years ago when the town transferred ownership of the land to the housing trust for $1.
Reached late Friday afternoon, attorney Michael Rybak, who is representing the housing trust on the application, said additional time was needed to gather information requested by the wetlands commission.
"They felt that there wasn't enough time to do that for the January meeting, and out of consideration of the fact that the Stop & Shop [application] was coming before Inland-Wetlands," said Rybak, referring to the also controversial plan for a new Stop & Shop in the Village Green Plaza on West Street (Route 202).
Both the housing trust plan and Stop & Shop plan are on the agenda for the wetlands panel's Jan. 9 meeting, beginning at 7 p.m. at the Litchfield Firehouse.
Rybak said the housing trust need additional time to answer questions that were raised at the last wetlands meeting in December, including the issue of possible U.S. Army Corps of Engineers jurisdiction.
The commission had the wetlands on the property re-evaluated by scientist Sean Hayden from the Northwest Conservation District, who advises the municipal panel on the issue of soil types, and Rybak said he and Hayden had additional questions.
Rybak could not offer an estimate of when the housing trust might re-submit the application, which calls for five stand-alone, single-family homes and two duplex homes.
"They certainly appreciate the time and attention given to them by the commission," said Rybak, who made it clear that he is not representing the town of Litchfield in matters involving the Litchfield Housing Trust.
The attorney representing the town on such issues is attorney Steven Byrne.
Resident Betsy Glassman, the secretary of Citizens Concerned About Route 202 (CAR), an opposition group formed to challenge the housing trust's application, said Friday that she is delighted about the withdrawal.
"It is very rare that environmentalists win in town," she said after concerns raised by her and other critics were detailed in stories Thursday on www.countytimes.com and in Friday's Register Citizen.
"I don't know why this went down this way," Glassman said, "but I do think it's a lesson to the town of Litchfield that the town needs to follow all the laws and regulations--because environmentalists in town and neighbor's views are just as important as those of the [Litchfield] Housing Trust.
At the selectmen's meeting Wednesday, Glassman argued that the notice of the April 2008 town meeting on the transfer of land -- printed in the Waterbury Republican American -- was insufficient, according to state statutes.
She claimed that, according to statute, the town must give notice twice in a newspaper when warning a meeting for a transfer of municipal land.
That issue aside, others who spoke at the selectmen's meeting Wednesday told officials that the area in which the housing is proposed -- which is at the top of a hill -- has historically had an issue with sufficient water supply. They expressed fears about the impact of the project on their wells, and asked who would be liable if the new housing left their residential wells more compromised than they already are.

Idaho Lawmakers Back Away from Anti-Marijuana Bill
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The Senate has killed an anti-marijuana resolution asking the federal government to enforce national drug laws, but passed a second one declaring opposition against marijuana use in any form. Senators on Monday voted 21-13 to defeat the law enforcement resolution amid concerns it contradicts previous measures to ensure Idaho's sovereignty.
Boise Republican Sen. Chuck Winder argued that both measures were intended to show Idaho doesn't plan to go the path of some surrounding states like Washington, where voters last fall legalized pot. Boise Republican Sen. Curt McKenzie said the enforcement proposal contradicts the idea of states' rights — a principle his party used to oppose federal health care and endangered species laws.
McKenzie doubted how the resolutions would make Idaho safer. The Senate endorsed the anti-marijuana measure 29-5.

Literally speaking, this lunchbox has no meat. Moreover, its masala mix is markedly understated. But no worries, it offers much that you can dig your teeth into.
Pasanda is mentioned a couple of times and keema pav is alluded to on a solitary occasion. But, in keeping with the norm of Mumbai?s dabba delivery biz, neither finds its way into the diurnal meal at the centre of writer-director Ritesh Batra?s felicitous feature debut.
It?s veggies all the way ? okra, aubergine, cauliflower and apple gourd are the ingredients of choice. But the film?s mistress of spices, a neglected Malad housewife, works such magic with her ladle that she soon has a stranger, an enervated Bandra accountant, eating out of her hands.
This quirky plot device hinges on a freak occurrence ? a dabbawala delivers a lunchbox to the wrong address and sparks an unlikely romance.
But nothing else in Batra?s remarkable film is fuelled by happenstance. It is a unique piece of cinema crafted with great dexterity and attention to detail.
A strikingly original, idiosyncratic and charming love story, The Lunchbox dismantles the established structures of the genre in ways that are at once startling and effective.
An immaculate screenplay provides the sturdy under-wiring on which Batra constructs his subtle drama about lonely souls in a teeming metropolis seeking to connect with each other across a vast divide.
Besides the amazing quality of its craft, what props up The Lunchbox is a troika of splendid performances by Irrfan Khan, Nimrat Kaur and Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
The film is a compelling study of despair and loneliness on the one hand and unrequited love and unrealized dreams on the other.
But it is also about loss and memory, and about missed opportunities and intimations of redemption.
At its heart are emotionally fettered individuals grapple with their ingrained fears and doubts even as they seek solace in the little joys of life that could set them free.
The Lunchbox is set in contemporary Mumbai, but Batra?s sharply delineated characters are enchantingly old world. They reach out to each other through scribbled notes in an era of electronic, mobile messages and social media.
Ila (Nimrat Kaur), egged on by an elderly neighbour who we only hear but never see (voice of Bharti Achrekar), seeks to use her culinary skills to wrest the attention of her distracted husband, Rajiv (Nakul Vaid).
The lunchbox she prepares reaches the wrong man. The recipient is a weary government employee, Saajan Fernandes (Irrfan Khan), a widower on the verge of superannuation, a man who appears to have been shortchanged by fate.
Realising by the evening that her lunchbox has gone amiss, Ila sends Saajan a note the next day, thanking him for doing justice to her dishes. The latter sends a reply dripping with characteristic coldness.
But soon enough, the notes become longer, more intimate and unabashedly revelatory of their inner selves.
Saajan rues the fact that he did not devote more time to his now-deceased wife and join her to watch her favourite Sunday morning television shows; Ila reveals that her hubby might be having an extra-marital affair.
The character of the reticent, fastidious Saajan is contrasted with that of Dongri resident Aslam Shaikh (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), a garrulous and carefree understudy who has been brought in to replace the veteran.
The latter, a hardened Mumbaikar, has learnt to take life?s blows on the chin. So, when Saajan wards off his repeated attempts to make friends with him, he perseveres until the senior gives in.
What we see on the screen is bewitching; what we don?t is no less so. Even the absent or rarely seen characters cast their own, if only fleeting, spells.
Yes, they all come alive for the audience: the comatose Mr Deshpande who spends all his waking hours staring at the ceiling fan in the apartment above Ila?s; Saajan?s unnamed wife who would record Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi episodes for repeated viewings; Shaikh?s non-existent ammi who strays into his cheerful conversations; Ila?s mother (Lillete Dubey) who has spent the last few years nursing an ailing husband; and of course, the worldly wise, ever helpful Deshpande auntie.
Every ?curry? that The Lunchbox rustles up is redolent of magic (both cinematic and culinary) of a transformative kind.
It isn?t just the life of the male protagonist that it touches. It spills out of the screen and seeps deep into the viewer?s soul with the kind of all-encompassing force that is rarely encountered in a Mumbai film.
Keenly observed rituals of daily existence in a metropolis provide substance to this simple, unpretentious, heart-warming tale.
In essence, The Lunchbox is a nostalgic ode to the Mumbai of yore. It is peopled by characters that still yearn for Doordarshan?s early serials and sitcoms and the unalloyed sentimentality of 1980s and 1990s Hindi film songs.
Besides Saajan?s drab and functional office space and Ila?s modest middle-class home, the film plays out in crowded trains and buses, and occasionally in auto-rickshaws.
On their trips back and forth from their workplace, Saajan and Shaikh are hemmed in by fellow passengers, yet they always seem to stand apart from the crowd. They are both ?outsiders? at odds with the big city and yet an essential part of it.
Mishaps and miracles occur here every day and nothing represents the dynamics of Mumbai quite as eloquently as the 5000-odd dabbawalas who unfailingly feed millions of office-goers in the metropolitan maze.
Batra captures that spirit with an unfailing and unsentimental eye, and gives the real-life dabbawalas and their songs a central place in the screenplay. The three central performances are terrific, with Irrfan and Nawazuddin striking up a duet that is absolutely spectacular.
Nimrat Kaur is clearly a bundle of natural talent that Hindi cinema will do well do draw upon whenever a role demands more than just eye-candy appeal.
Gorge into it and savour its lingering aftertaste. The Lunchbox holds riches that aren?t likely to be forgotten in a hurry.

This is 18 month old Jacob as a Fish!
His Mom Tricia says the costume is totally Homemade. Without even a PATTERN! The fishes tail wags each time Jacob takes a step, I was sent a short video to attest to this fact but I am sorry to say that I can't get it to go on my site. You'll just have to take my word for it I suppose Ü The wag is VERY cute! Although a tad blurry this pic shows the tail better.
Tricia was happy to say that she was able to wash all of the ORANGE hair color out of Jacobs whitish locks. Ü
Great Job Tricia and thanks!

Thanks to our new troll, I've set up a new comment system with Intense Debate. What does this mean for you guys?
1. No more trolls and spammers, yaaaay! Well, at least a reduced number, since now I can ban IP addresses and do all sorts of nifty things. Now those of you who subscribe to comments don't have to have that crap cluttering your inboxes or RSS feeds as I frantically delete them.
2. Comment threading! Yes, now instead of having to awkwardly reference people that are 15 comments above you, you can directly reply to their comment. It's like it's the year 2010 or something!
3. Comment rating. You can now upvote or downvote comments. That way if you don't want to miss some of the more awesome things that have been said, you can just sort by rating. I think that's pretty cool, especially since 90% of the time your comments are more entertaining/insightful than my original post.
There may be some bugs in the system, so email me (blaghagblog(at)gmail.com) if something isn't working out. I know I just accidentally sent someone's comment into moderation because I had "of" listed as a banned word – whoops. Ah, user error.
So, try it out! Consider this an open thread. Oh, and thank you psychotic Canadian troll for making this atheist blog even better!
EDIT: Soooo, Intense Debate was being a piece of crap. Sorry to lose the comments you guys left on the last couple of posts. I think this has been the final push I needed to switch over to WordPress…

Five Real Salt Lake players will be in action in World Cup qualifying matches on Friday and Saturday.
RSL's Kyle Beckerman, Tony Beltran and Nick Rimando will suit up for the U.S. on Friday night, taking on Claret-and-Cobalt forward Alvaro Saborio and Costa Rica in a CONCACAF Hexagonal match at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colo. Friday's match will kickoff at 8 p.m. MT and will be broadcast live on ESPN and UniMas.
Costa Rica's captain, Saborio said on Thursday that he'll start Friday's match. It was falsely reported earlier this week that Saborio was doubtful for the game due to a knee injury suffered while training with Los Ticos.
Beckerman, Beltran and Rimando will likely start Friday's match on the bench. Beltran and Beckerman could both see time as defensive-minded substitutes while Rimando will back-up starting goalkeeper Brad Guzan.
Mansally is in Gambia's squad for their Saturday CAF qualifying match at the high-powered Ivory Coast.
Both the U.S. and Costa Rica will play again on March 26, with the U.S. taking on Mexico at Estadio Azteca and Costa Rica hosting Jamaica. Beckerman, Beltran, Rimando and Saborio will return to RSL following those matches.
Gambia will only play the one match; Mansally will return to RSL early next week.
