Creaform, a provider of accurate portable 3D measurement solutions and engineering services, has launched the CUBE-R, a new generation complete turnkey automated dimensional inspection system. The new optical 3D measuring machine capitalizes on the MetraSCAN 3D-R metrology scanner and combines efficiency and reliability of robotization in an automated industrial measuring cell.
The CUBE-R extends the 3D digitizing and inspection capabilities of the MetraSCAN 3D for dimensionally measuring parts ranging from 1 m to 3 m with metrology-grade volumetric accuracy on the shop floor. Unlike conventional systems, the CUBE-R provides both speed and volumetric accuracy, and also ensures a significant increase in productivity. The CUBE-R offers a realistic and comprehensive alternative to coordinate measuring machines (CMM) and other robot-mounted, structured-light 3D scanners.
Key features and benefits of the new system include:
CUBE-R 3D Scanning CMM
CUBE-R is an efficient comprehensive turnkey system for automated quality control applications. The CUBE-R provides manufacturing companies with the power of optical 3D measurement and industrial automation. This CMM system optimizes the production cycle and throughput resulting in better product quality.
"Quality control managers are looking for integrated solutions that enable the detection of assembly problems earlier in the manufacturing process, all while reducing waste and down time to ensure better productivity and higher product quality," says Jérôme-Alexandre Lavoie, Product Manager at Creaform. "The CUBE-R was designed with that in mind. It is the latest addition to our R-Series automated inspection solutions, which also include technology integration for clients looking for customized dimensional measurement solutions."
Measurement and Inspection
Along with removing the need to inspect parts in a metrology lab, Creaform's portable 3D measurement technologies enable inspections on the shop floor, without the need for a controlled environment, because all of its solutions can withstand the harshest environments and surrounding vibrations for maximizing the efficiency of the quality control process throughout an entire production run.
When it comes to performing routine testing of process samples there are 4 basic options of measurement and inspection instrumentation, Inline, On-line, At-line and Off-line(laboratory):

Siemens Making Sense of Autonomous Vehicle Sensors Through Digital Simulation – Part 2
April 5th, 2018 by Jeff Rowe
Editor's Note: This is the second part of a two-part article on Siemens' simulation efforts aimed at making autonomous vehicles safer while making verification and validation processes more comprehensive and efficient.
Last week, Siemens introduced a solution for the development of autonomous driving systems as part of its Simcenter portfolio that minimizes the need for extensive physical prototyping while dramatically reducing the number of logged test miles necessary to demonstrate the safety of autonomous vehicles.
This computing and simulation platform is aimed at accelerating the validation and verification of autonomous cars.
The new solution integrates autonomous driving technologies from recent Siemens acquisitions Mentor Graphics and TASS International. TASS' PreScan simulation environment produces highly realistic, physics-based simulated raw sensor data for an unlimited number of potential driving scenarios, traffic situations and other parameters.
The data from PreScan's simulated LiDAR, radar and camera sensors is then fed into Mentor's DRS360 platform, where it is fused in real time to create a high-resolution model of the vehicle's environment and driving conditions. Customers can then leverage the DRS360 platform's superior perception resolution and high-performance processing to test and refine proprietary algorithms for critical tasks such as object recognition, driving policy and more.
TASS International Acquisition
Last summer, Siemens acquired TASS International, a provider of simulation software, plus engineering and test services aimed primarily at the automotive industry, and focused on autonomous driving, integrated safety, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and tire modeling. The company developed a family of solutions that strengthen Siemens' PLM software portfolio, and add to its position as a leading supplier of "systems driven product development" offerings for the automotive industry.
The video below shows testing of a complete vehicle in a controlled hardware-in-the-loop environment for validating Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) systems.
TASS Vehicle Hardware-in-the-Loop AEB Testing
TASS International is focused on automated driving solutions and integrated (active, passive) safety, primarily for the automotive industry. With its PreScan software, car manufacturers, suppliers and government agencies can simulate complex traffic scenarios and virtually validate automated driving and advanced driver assistance systems.

Siemens Making Sense of Autonomous Vehicle Sensors Through Digital Simulation – Part 1
March 29th, 2018 by Jeff Rowe
Although they hold much promise, this has not exactly been a stellar time lately for self-driving/autonomous vehicles. As a matter of fact, recent events have cast a dark cloud over them.
Testing them on the road is, of course, essential, but I've often wondered if digital simulation could be used more to maximize safety and efficiency with less road testing required.
As it turns out, this very thing, simulation, is finally being performed quite extensively.
This week, Siemens introduced a breakthrough solution for the development of autonomous driving systems as an addition its Simcenter portfolio that minimizes the need for extensive physical prototyping while dramatically reducing the number of logged test miles necessary to demonstrate the safety of autonomous vehicles.
In a nutshell, this computing and simulation platform is aimed at accelerating the validation and verification of autonomous cars.
Siemens PLM Software Driving Simulator
According to the findings of a report issued by the Rand Corporation, autonomous vehicle prototypes would have to be driven hundreds of millions of miles, and in some cases hundreds of billions of miles, over the course of several decades to demonstrate their reliability in terms of fatalities and injuries – an outcome the authors deemed inconsistent with the near-term commercial viability of self-driving cars. For possible solutions to these challenges, the researchers pointed to innovative testing methods such as advanced simulation technologies.
Leveraging advanced, physics-based simulation and innovative sensor data processing technologies, the new Siemens solution is designed to help automakers and their suppliers address this industry challenge with the potential to shave years off the development, verification and validation of self-driving cars.

PTC Launches Creo 5.0 Emphasizing AM, Simulation, and Topology Optimization
March 22nd, 2018 by Jeff Rowe
This week, PTC announced Creo 5.0, the latest release of its Creo CAD software that covers concept to manufacturing in a single design environment. According to the company, Creo 5.0 introduces five new and enhanced capabilities for product design and productivity enhancements in the areas of topology optimization, additive and subtractive manufacturing, computational fluid dynamics, and CAM.
"PTC is on the leading edge of some of the hottest technologies today with the Internet of Things (IoT) and augmented reality (AR), but it has not forgotten its roots in CAD, instead transforming this business by infusing its leading Creo software with new technologies and capabilities," said John Mackrell, chairman, CIMdata.
Topology Optimization
The physical design of products is often limited by existing designs and practices. The new Creo Topology Optimization Extension automatically creates optimized designs based on a defined set of objectives and constraints, and freed of existing designs and thought processes. This helps users save time and accelerate development by enabling creation of optimized parts for given tasks they must perform.
Creo automatically creates optimized geometric forms/shapes based on input conditions and defined criteria.
The Creo Topology Optimization Extension will be available Summer 2018 in the first maintenance build of Creo 5.0.
ANSYS and MachineWorks Expand Use of Polygonica
March 15th, 2018 by Jeff Rowe
Recently, ANSYS, known for its engineering simulation software, and MachineWorks known for its machining and verification software signed an agreement to expand the use of Polygonica Polygon Modeling Software toolkit throughout the ANSYS organization.
Polygonica is a polygonal solid modeling toolkit for processing polygon mesh and is the creator of MachineWorks.
Polygonica carries out a wide range of geometric operations on polygon mesh models such as automatic solid healing, fixing self-intersections and Boolean operations. Other algorithms in Polygonica allow remeshing, simplification, offsetting and point cloud manipulation.
Polygonica is built on MachineWorks' core technology for material removal and machine simulation, and has a wide range of applications for many sectors, including additive manufacturing/3D printing, where solving complex polygon modeling problems is required when handling defective models with vast numbers of polygons.
Polygonica is used in ANSYS Discovery Live software, ANSYS' relatively new tool that enables fast computation of CAE analysis results using the power of local GPUs. ANSYS Discovery Live shortens the feedback loop between design and analysis and lets product designers see relevant results immediately during the conceptual design process.
Interview with ANSYS at IMTS 2016
Even though we've been told by a number of software vendors for several years now to use engineering simulation and analysis at the earliest stages of product development, relatively few companies have heeded the advice and actually done so. In many cases, it's still design, break, repeat in a cycle that gets very expensive quickly trying to achieve optimized design goals. Even with all the insistence and chiding from the simulation folks, I'd estimate the percentage of design work that includes simulation early in the process as somewhere between 20-25%, although that may be a bit on the high side.
With ANSYS Discovery Live, ANSYS hopes it will break and change that cycle.

Ultimaker Extends AM Reach
March 8th, 2018 by Jeff Rowe
3D printing, or more accurately, additive manufacturing (AM), has come a long way since its inception, and especially the past few years. It also continues to grow at an amazing rate. IDC forecasts worldwide spending on 3D printing to be early $12 billion in 2018
A new update to the Worldwide Semiannual 3D Printing Spending Guide from International Data Corporation (IDC) shows global spending on 3D printing (including hardware, materials, software, and services) will be nearly $12.0 billion in 2018, an increase of 19.9% over 2017. By 2021, IDC expects worldwide spending to be nearly $20.0 billion with a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.5%.
Discrete manufacturing will be the dominant industry for 3D printing, delivering more than half of all worldwide spending throughout the 2017-2021 forecast. Healthcare providers will be the second largest industry with a spending total of nearly $1.3 billion in 2018, followed by education ($974 million) and consumer ($831 million). By 2021, IDC expects professional services and retail to move ahead of the consumer segment. The industries that will see the fastest growth in 3D printing spending over the five-year forecast are the resource industries and healthcare.
The leading use cases for 3D printing are prototypes, aftermarket parts, and parts for new products. As the primary use cases for the discrete manufacturing industry, these three use cases will account for 44% of worldwide spending in 2018.
As testament to this tremendous growth, this week, 3D printer manufacturer Ultimaker announced that Robert Bosch GmbH, a leading global supplier of technology and services, will invest in Ultimaker 3 Extended printers on a global scale. After comparing several desktop 3D printers, the additive manufacturing department of Bosch selected Ultimaker as the most reliable, easy-to-use, and machine that produced the highest quality parts. The printers will now be used in different locations across Germany, Hungary, China, India, the United States and Mexico for printing innovative prototypes, tooling, jigs and fixtures, while cutting design and manufacturing costs.
Ultimaker Interview at Westec 2017
As the world's largest supplier of automotive components and an important supplier of industrial technologies, consumer goods, and energy and building technology, Bosch, has a strategic objective to deliver innovative products. In order to save time and costs, and for a faster time-to-market for its new products, the company decided to invest in desktop 3D printing on a global scale. Now, with the Ultimaker rollout, all departments of the additive manufacturing department of Bosch can benefit from a uniform 3D printing solution with materials, training and global support. This approach will ensure consistent, quality 3D printing results across teams and locations.
A Better Way to Create 3D Assets With ONU's Cloud-Based Platform
March 1st, 2018 by Jeff Rowe
In the cloud-based technical/engineering platform world, IoT may be getting the lion's share of attention at the moment, but right up there competing for relevance and significance are VR/AR technologies. As cool as they are, VR/AR technologies have been hindered from wider use primarily because of the expensive high GPU requirements needed to make them work, and well, be realistic. That's changing, however, as cloud-based platforms bring performance and fidelity to VR/AR at much lower entry and implementation price points.
Case in point, this week a Detroit-based startup, ONU, announced a unique offering called ONU 3DLite, a cloud-based 3D visual platform designed to convert and optimize CAD files for creating visual content for 3D Web, AR, VR, or mobile-based applications. ONU provides technology to streamline 3D asset creation pipelines, automating processes that have been manual. In other words, an end-to-end, 3D asset management platform.
"Manufacturers design products in CAD, but those files don't easily translate to visuals that can be displayed on a mobile device, let alone in a web browser, virtual reality headset, or augmented reality glasses," said Sam Sesti, President of ONU. "ONU 3DLite changes that. Our easy to use tools automate processes that were previously manual, and significantly streamlines 3D asset creation. Native CAD files can be turned into low polygon Filmbox (FBX) files in just minutes. In addition to making asset creation really easy, it's also very affordable. We're excited to share ONU 3DLite with the world."
Seebo Launches SOLIDWORKS Add-In For Implementing IoT
February 22nd, 2018 by Jeff Rowe
It's 2018, and along with being cloud based, virtually every engineering design software company has embraced the inevitability of the Internet of Things (IoT) – some better than others. SOLIDWORKS is no exception, as it announced an add-in with Seebo that will enhance its IoT presence through connected products.
Today's manufacturers are increasingly turning to IoT to meet strategic business objectives – from improving product resilience and efficiency, to growing sales, and boosting customer satisfaction.
However, the high-rate of stalled and failed IoT initiatives – which, according to a recent Cisco study, account for a whopping 75% – continues to reflect how IoT development remains complicated, expensive, and risky.
Product teams turn to companies like Seebo to visually describe their connected products in a digital model. The Seebo platform then automatically generates the specs, simulations, and analytics to make it happen.
At the SOLIDWORKS World 2018 Conference, Seebo announced a SOLIDWORKS add-in for manufacturers to plan and deliver smart, connected products. As a new certified Gold Partner for SOLIDWORKS, Seebo launched the add-in for SOLIDWORKS users to turn their existing 3D product designs into a visual model of the entire IoT system, and get auto-generated specs, simulations, and analytics to make their products IoT connected.

The Seebo add-in for SOLIDWORKS addresses the pains of planning and delivering IoT products. With Seebo, SOLIDWORKS users are equipped with tools for IoT modeling, simulation, execution, and behavior analytics. This allows them to quickly and easily define, validate, and build IoT products. Once in-market, product teams see exactly how their product is being used and make informed data-driven decisions about product enhancements to boost product adoption and profits.
"Mastering how to design for the Internet of Things will be one of the major challenges for companies in the next 2-3 years," said Kishore Boyalakuntla, VP of Product Portfolio Management, SOLIDWORKS, Dassault Systèmes. "The Seebo add-in helps users seamlessly turn their existing SOLIDWORKS designs into connected products that drive outstanding customer value."
Lior Akavia, Seebo Co-Founder and CEO said, "We are excited to be a certified Gold Partner for SOLIDWORKS, making IoT design accessible and simple to the millions of SOLIDWORKS users worldwide. Equipped with the Seebo add-in, users will be able to launch products that stand out from the competition and boost customer satisfaction with innovative capabilities, superior performance, and minimized downtime."
According to VP of Product Portfolio Management at Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS, Kishore Boyalakuntla, among the leading challenges companies are facing is "mastering how to design for the Internet of Things."
To address these pains, SOLIDWORKS has teamed up with Seebo to make IoT design accessible to SOLIDWORKS.
With Seebo, SOLIDWORKS users have tools for IoT Modeling, Simulation, Execution, and Behavior Analytics. This allows them to quickly define, validate, and build IoT products. Once in-market, product teams see exactly how their product is being used and make informed data-driven decisions about product enhancements to boost product adoption and profits.
It takes just a few hours for SOLIDWORKS users to turn their existing 3D product designs into a visual model of the entire IoT system on Seebo's platform. Inside Seebo, users get auto-generated specs, simulations, and behavior analytics to make their products IoT connected.

Skyler Barncord was ready to stick his nose back into the sea of humanity. He's not one to shy away from a challenge, and was more than happy to dig out Skylar Paulson for me.
"No, I'm Barncord," the 5-foot-2 junior guard said. "Paulson's over here. I'll get him for you."
Only problem is, I didn't want Paulson. Talking to the stat-sheet stuffers was Brian Weidman's job Friday night. I wanted to talk to the "B" team that makes the "A" team capable of holding a team like Aquin to 31 points.
To do that takes fitness. It takes guts.
"I'll just guard anybody," Barncord said after I assured him he was the one I wanted to talk to. "I'll just take the guts and guard anybody, as long as they can get better."
It takes humility.
"Coach says it all the time: We have the best scout team in the area," said point guard Dalton Shaner, who led Eastland with 15 points. "They push us. They give us good looks all week. And you know what? There's some teams out there..."
He stops to laugh.
"… that would complain and not want to work hard, because they know they're not going to get into games like this. They never hang their heads. It's all them."
Perhaps it takes some sour grapes, too. One year ago, the Cougars' run was cut stunningly short when they lost to Forreston in the regional final.
Austin Hansen readily admitted that the Cougars weren't in as good of shape last February. That's why he appreciates it when coach/P.E. teacher Tony Dunlap makes them run the mile.
And Hansen also appreciates his usual sparring partner, Devin Hartman.
"He's got such quick hands," Hansen said. "He'll be on offense, running their stuff. We get a steal, and you think you've got a layup, but he's got the quickest hands. You get mad at him. You're like, 'What the heck, dude? Stop.'" He makes us look bad in practice. But he makes us better."
Hartman says he loves every minute of it.
Doing a lot of the dirty work Friday night was Marshall Fink. He often draws the ugliest of assignments in practice: trying to keep Shaner at bay.
"He helps me get better, and I like to think I help him," Fink said. "I might hack him a little bit. But it makes it tougher. That's all that matters."
You go down the line, asking each Cougar who is responsible for their staunch defense, and it's like asking a bunch of Looney Tunes which way he went. They all point in a different direction.
The Cougars could also point to the zebras for an assist during Friday night's whistle buffet. The officials took letting 'em play to another level and, frankly, I loved every moment of it.
In turn, credit needs to be paid to the 18 players who made the box score. Play got chippy, but never with ill intent.
Thirty-two minutes of man-to-man defense? Refs staying out of the way? You had to know the best athletes would win.
Extra! Extra!
Two years ago, Eastland built a glorious new facility. Media-types love it. So do the players, who love getting in their reps in the state-of-the-art workout facility, as Christopher Heimerman dicusses at saukvalley.com/blogs/extra-extra.

by Fr. William G. Most
In the ancient sacrifices, both Jewish and pagan, those who took part were given part
of the meat of the sacrificed animal, in the hope of a sort of communion with the
divinity. In the Mass, after the sacrifice itself is completed, we have the unspeakable
privilege of receiving the flesh and blood of the Divine Victim, who is not dead, but
living, and comes to give life in abundance to our souls.
This Holy Communion, if we are rightly disposed, produces an increase in sanctifying
grace - the ability to take in the vision of God in the life to come - plus a special
claim to actual graces as needed, forgiveness of venial sin for which one is repentant,
help to keep from mortal sin, and an increase in the virtue of love.
But dispositions are needed, for even though the Eucharist contains the very Author of
all grace, it does not operate like magic: we must do what we can.
We must of course have the state of grace. Without it it would be sacrilege, and an
added mortal sin to receive. Right intention is also needed, i.e., to please God, to be
more closely united with Him, to gain a remedy for our weaknesses.
It is not required to be free from all venial sin. The reception itself may forgive
venial sins for which one is sorry. But the fruits of receiving are reduced. It is
especially needed that one be free from all deliberate venial sin - in contrast to sins of
weakness, sins when one is taken off guard.
For fullest benefits, we should be free from all attachment to anything sinful. Some
have as it were a gap in their purpose of amendment, as if they said, for example: "I
do not intend to commit mortal sins, nor all venial sins. But there are some reservations:
if it is hard to stick to the truth, I will not do so, or if it is hard to keep a
conversation going without a bit of detraction, that is all right too. These dispositions,
sometimes called "affection to venial sin" impose as it were a clamp on one's
heart, for he/she has decided to go so far and no farther. So they effectively prevent
spiritual growth beyond a certain point. How sad that many who could grow much, block
growth by this means.
But mere carelessness, lack of preparation, or lack of thanksgiving can be harmful.
Pope John Paul II, in his very first Encyclical, Redemptor hominis #20, said that if one
does not constantly try to grow spiritually, receiving the Eucharist would "lack its
full redeeming effectiveness" and there could even be a spiritual loss. To receive
out of mere routine, with no special care, no thanksgiving, is more apt to cause spiritual
loss than gain.
To prepare, one should think in advance about what he/she is going to do, especially
during the Mass. After receiving, it is valuable to try for recollection, in humility to
adore the Lord present we adore the Lord present within us, to give thanks, to express
sorrow for deficiencies, to ask for helps to do better. It is very good to stay a few
minutes after the end of the Mass to continue this thanksgiving.
Of course one should be decently dressed to receive. Some give scandal and lead others
into sin in the very act of coming.
The Eucharistic fast has now been reduced to one hour - abstaining from food and drink
(except water). The time is computed up to the actual time of reception. The sick, even if
not confined to bed, and those actually engaged in caring for them at the time, need not
observe any period of fasting. The same applies to the elderly, according to the new Code
of Canon Law # 919. 3.
Children should begin to receive when they have reached the use of reason, but not
before they have made their first confession. Once one has begun to receive, there is the
obligation of receiving at least once a year, at Easter time, unless there is a reasonable
cause for using a different time.
Pastors should see to it that the sick can receive at times. Those who are in danger of
death are obliged to receive the Sacred Host as Viaticum, which means provision for the
journey -into the next life.
The present law allows quite a few occasions when the Holy Eucharist may be received
under both species. However, Christ is received whole and entire under one form only, for
He dies no more: body and blood are never separated. (Cf. First Corinthians 11. 26-27,
noting that in v. 26, the word and shows that both species are needed to express the death
of the Lord, but for Holy Communion, only one species is needed. Hence the word or is used
in v. 27).
When actual reception is not possible, one may profitably make a spiritual communion,
by a fervent desire to receive sacramentally. This keeps the soul united with Jesus during
the day, and prepares better for the actual reception.

If you are an experienced baker, you already know that flours labeled "all-purpose" are anything but. Although all-purpose flours are designed to handle a number of purposes, it does not mean that a particular brand is suited for your purpose. In general, all-purpose flour is made up of hard and soft winter wheat, with hard wheat flour containing more protein and gluten than soft wheat flour. It is that protein that provides structure to our baked goods. Hard wheat flours containing a high percentage of protein, is good for making chewy breads and cookies. For this task, King Arthur's all-purpose flour, with a protein content of 11.7 percent, is exceptional. Next, in terms of protein content, would be flours such as Gold Medal and Pillsbury brands. With a protein content in the 10.5 percent range, they are well suited for general all-purpose baking tasks. All-purpose flours with the lowest protein levels, such as White Lily brand, made with soft winter wheat, are especially good for making tender cakes, pie crusts, pancakes, muffins, scones, popovers, cream puffs and more.
Fine textured specialty cake flours, like Swans Down and Softasilk, with protein levels of 8 to 10 percent, undergo a special bleaching process (different from the bleaching process of regular all-purpose flours) which helps to set cakes faster, resulting in greater rise and volume. For best results, it is always best to use the kind of flour called for in a particular recipe. In instances where a cake recipe simply calls for "all-purpose flour," you may expect satisfactory results by using Gold Medal or Pillsbury all-purpose unbleached flour.

Sandra Vergara – Crush of the Day
We were thrilled to find out that Colombian stunner Sofia Vergara has a younger sister, and she's legal. It turns out that Sandra Vergara is also sexy and gorgeous, and we can't wait to see her slip out from under her big sister's curvy shadow.
Later this month, Sandra Vergara will heat up the silver screen in her first starring role in a feature film, the comedic horror 'Fright Night.'
We can't wait to watch the 22-year-old play Ginger, a character she told 'Maxim' is "spicy and cynical and always arguing with her boyfriend, calling him a douchebag or an a**wipe."
Sandra claims she's not at all like that in real life — though we'd take all the verbal abuse in the world for a shot at this beauty.
Like her sultry sister, good-girl Sandra was raised in the bustling port city of Barranquilla, Colombia, although she has spent the past five years chasing the California dream in Los Angeles. Sandra lived with Sofia for four of those years, and broke into the entertainment business by working as a wardrobe stylist and makeup artist.
She says she thrives on the creative process. We think that's hot.
Sandra put in her dues styling sexy Sofia, and has worked her magic with some of young Hollywood's hottest names, including Jordana Brewster, Asia Argento, Bijou Phillips, Rumer Willis and Casey Johnson.
Following in her sis's footsteps, Sandra was recently cast in an upcoming TV pilot, a show for NBC called 'Mann's World.' If it's half as good as Sofia's 'Modern Family,' chances are good that we'll be seeing a lot more of young Sandra. And that's fine by us.
The young actress has previously had small roles on 'Nip/Tuck,' 'CSI: Miami' and 'Eleventh Hour.' But we think she's going to be much bigger.

No team in NFL history has won a Super Bowl after trailing at halftime by more than seven points. That's a bad omen for the 49ers.
Although San Francisco scored on a David Akers field goal on the last play of the first half, it's been a big first half for the Ravens, who lead 21-6 as the players head to the locker room and the rest of America watches Beyonce.
It's been a frustrating, mistake-filled first half for the 49ers, who have had several coverage breakdowns on defense and two turnovers on offense. Even when the offense has played well — and it has played well for two sustained drives — San Francisco has had to settle for field goals.
The good news for the 49ers is that they know they can come back from big deficits: They just did it in the NFC Championship Game. But they're going to need the biggest second-half comeback in Super Bowl history.

As she fought for her life in a government hospital, watched by her stunned parents, extensive media coverage of her ordeal turned her into a symbol of widespread concern over the violent celebrations.
Nearly 700 people were injured by firecrackers, including many illegally large types, and by celebratory gunfire on the days leading to the new year despite government warnings and a crackdown on prohibited firecrackers and gun firing.
A boy also died when he was accidentally shot in the back with a homemade shotgun by an intoxicated man in Mandaluyong city during New Year's revelry, police said.
At least 40 people were injured by stray bullets during the New Year revelries, according to police.
Stephanie, an award-winning student, "dreamed at a young age to become rich to help us," her distraught father, Jay Ella, told reporters.
"This tragedy is a sobering reminder of how a reprehensible act from a thoughtless individual can rob our people, particularly our children, of their futures,"
President Benigno Aquino III's spokesman, Edwin Lacierda, said in a statement. "For such a promising life to be lost in such a senseless way puts the burden on all of us to make certain that this tragedy is not repeated."
Many Filipinos, largely influenced by Chinese tradition, believe that noisy New Year's celebrations drive away evil and misfortune. But they have carried that superstition to extremes, exploding dangerously huge firecrackers and firing guns to welcome the new year despite threats of arrest.
Although the number of injuries has tapered off in recent years, largely due to hard economic times and government scare campaigns, the figures remain alarming.

Clarkson to Host Gender & Sexuality Studies Conference Oct. 25
The Gender and Sexuality Studies faculty of Clarkson University invites the community to the first annual Gender and Sexuality Studies Conference of the Associated Colleges on Friday, October 25. The event is free and open to the public.
The goal of the conference, "Why Gender and Sexuality Studies Still Matter," is to bring together faculty, students and staff from all four colleges of the St. Lawrence Valley to examine new challenges, review current strategies and develop fresh perspectives on gender and sexual justice and inclusion.
Friday's events start with an opening lecture at noon in Bertrand H. Snell Hall Room 212 (hill campus, building #18 at http://www.clarkson.edu/about/clarkson_map.pdf .) by Mecke Nagel, professor of philosophy at SUNY Cortland, who explores the implications of anti-slavery abolitionism as applied to human trafficking and prison eradication.
Following the lecture, conference attendees will have the opportunity to participate in conversations at student poster sessions and information tables from 1:15 to 2:45 in the Snell Atrium.
Examples of poster topics include the inclusion of transgender cultures in young adult literature, the scripts and conventions of contemporary pornography, the effects of Title IX on student athletes, and sexual discrimination laws in the work place. Student organizations include SAGA (Sexuality and Gender Activists) from St. Lawrence University, Value U., the Gay Straight Alliance at Clarkson University and others.
The keynote speaker at 3:00 in Snell Hall Room 213, Jyoti Puri, professor of sociology at Simmons College in Boston, has published widely on how constructs of gender and sexuality are shaped across national and transnational contexts. She will speak about her latest book, Sexual States: Governance and Decriminalizing Sodomy in India's Present, where she examines police responses to the anti-sodomy laws in India, and raises questions about obtaining sexual justice through law.
The conference will end with a book launch and signing party from 4:15 to 5:15 in the President's Conference Room (Educational Resources Center Room 1504) celebrating the works of faculty from the four colleges who have published books on gender and sexuality. Refreshments will be served.
The authors and their books are Danielle Egan (Saint Lawrence University): Becoming Sexual: A Critical Appraisal of the Sexualization of Girls, S.N. Nyeck (Clarkson University) and Marc Epprecht (Queens University), Editors: Sexual Diversity in Africa: Politics, Theory and Citizenship, Emily Hamilton Honey (SUNY Canton): Turning the Pages of American Girlhood: The Evolution of Girls' Series Fiction, 1865-1930 and Susanne Zwingel (SUNY Potsdam) et al.: Feminist Strategies in International Governance.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

WHAT if you'd worked solidly for the last 40 hours with people you didn't know in an unfamiliar office in a town far from home for nothing?
Figures were released last week that said over a third of young people out of work, training or education have considered suicide with over a quarter admitting they had self-harmed in one way or another claiming they have nothing to live for.
And with many young people being forced to take up unpaid internships, with no guarantee of a contract afterwards, who could blame them?
The job market's saturated, you can't afford to go back to college and there are no training programmes for the career you so desperately want to forge.
Employment relations minister, Jo Swinson, said: "Internships can provide an important first step and are often a valuable way of helping young people start work. They should be open to everyone in a fair and transparent way."
Fair to who? You might ask.
It seems the government is only just waking up to the concept while large companies have skimmed the cream of the unemployed sector and lapped up the profits by conserving wages.
Gus Baker, co-director of Intern Aware, has been campaigning against this issue since 2010.
"The law says if you are personally providing services for a company, as opposed to work experience, and make real work contributions to the organisation then you are entitled to minimum wage," he said. "Being able to afford to work for free is very difficult."
Georgina Laming, 21, of Shirley, took several unpaid internships in her quest to find a job in reporting, some lasting only a few weeks, another lasting a year.
She called it quits after she became so ill working part-time to earn enough money to keep going that her 70 hour working weeks resulted in being prescribed antidepressants.
"The mental strain of being treated badly and worrying about how to pay rent whilst working for free really impacts you," she said. "It did for me for a really long time. I don't have loaded parents to fall back on. It took me a long time to recover and working waitressing jobs to pay for the privilege of working for free just felt wrong.
"I felt like I wasn't worth anything because publications weren't paying me for copy. Then I realised that they were publishing my work and not giving me credit."
But for Martha Flynn, 22, a former Peter Symonds student, it's a means of bettering herself in the job market to become more competitive against her 2.39m unemployed rivals.
The third year Leeds University student from Bereweeke has been volunteering since she was 18.
"I'd really like to work in the charity sector or international development, both of which have incredibly competitive job markets, so experience working within charities is essential," she said. "I would go as far as to say that the volunteering that I have done this summer for Community Action Hampshire may prove to be the difference between me getting a job post-uni or not.
"In fact, now that internships are demanding more and more from their prospective candidates, I'd say that volunteering is now almost essential to getting the internships that get you into a paid position later on. For me, it's all about adapting to the changes that I perceive in the job market."
James Peckham, 21, from Totton, has recently completed a six-week unpaid internship with Winchester Action on Climate Change (WinACC). There is no question that WinACC, a charity, has exploited anyone.
He said: "I'm still quite young so I can run up a certain amount of debt while I know I'm trying to get to where I want to be. I know some people who wouldn't be able to do this. Money comes first of course but the market's just so stretched.
"I know people who have done internships for as long as six months and have nothing to show for it. I've seen some advertised in London lasting six-12 months before they even consider paying you."
The law does seem to be slowly responding and action groups, such as Intern Aware, are fighting their corner to make sure unpaid interns stop getting overlooked.
Jo Swinson added: "Not paying the national minimum wage is illegal and if an employer breaks the law, government will take tough action. Anyone considered a worker under the law should be paid at least the minimum wage, whether they are an intern, or someone on work experience."
Miss Laming said: "The government definitely needs to do more. It's trying but they never seem to get that volunteering and working for free are different things. It's about changing a culture. It will take a long time but I'm prepared to keep fighting on it."

SSA's Fee Authorization Processes
Prior to charging or collecting a fee from a claimant or a third party for services provided in any proceeding before the Social Security Administration (SSA), a representative generally must obtain SSA's authorization. To do so, the representative must use one of two mutually exclusive fee authorization processes:
Proceedings that Require SSA's Authorization
SSA considers any claim or asserted right under Titles II, XVI, or XVIII of the Social Security Act (Act) that results in the following to be a proceeding before SSA for fee purposes:
- Any initial, revised, or reconsidered determination or action by a field office or processing center; or
- Any decision or action by an Administrative Law Judge or an Administrative Appeals Judge.
When SSA's Authorization is NOT Required
When all of the following conditions are present, SSA need not authorize a fee:
The claimant and any affected auxiliary beneficiaries are free of direct or indirect liability to pay a fee or expenses, either in whole or in part, to a representative or to someone else, AND-
The third-party entity that actually pays the representative's fee and expenses, is a business, firm, association, partnership, corporation, for-profit or not-for-profit organization, or a government agency that is paying from its own funds, AND-
The representative submits to us a form SSA-1696-U4 (or a written statement) waiving the right to charge and collect a fee and any expenses from the claimant and affected auxiliaries, if any, in the form and manner described below:
Complete Part III of the SSA-1696-U4 by checking the box "Waiving fees and expenses from the claimant and any auxiliary beneficiaries" and providing signature and date, or
Submit a written statement that clearly and unequivocally states that the representative intends to receive a fee from a third-party entity and that the claimant and any auxiliary beneficiary are not directly or indirectly responsible for payment of the fee; and if eligible for direct payment
Direct Payment of a Fee to a Representative
When the SSA or a Federal court authorizes a representative's fee based on an approved fee agreement or a fee petition, SSA will withhold up to 25 percent of the claimant's Title II and Title XVI past-due benefits for payment of all or part of the authorized fee, if the following criteria are met:
- At least one of the claimant's representatives is an attorney or a non-attorney whom SSA has determined is eligible for direct payment of fees.
- The claimant is entitled to past-due benefits under Title II and Title XVI.
- The attorney or non-attorney representative who is otherwise eligible to receive direct payment has not waived his or her fee or waived the right to direct payment.
- An attorney or non-attorney representative whom the claimant appoints after December 31, 2006 to represent him or her before SSA, or an attorney for whom a Federal court approves a fee after December 31, 2006, has registered to receive direct payment by taking two steps:
1. Submitting, one time, a completed Form SSA-1699, Registration of Individuals and Staff for Appointed Representative Services.2. Submitting, in connection with a specific claim(s), a completed Form SSA-1695, Identifying Information for Possible Direct Payment of Authorized Fees.
When SSA makes direct fee payment, the law requires SSA to charge an assessment (user fee) to cover administrative costs. SSA deducts this assessment from the amount payable to the representative. The representative cannot charge or collect this expense from the claimant.
The assessment is capped at the lower of either a flat rate dollar amount or 6.3 percent of the amount of the fee payable from past-due benefits. The flat rate dollar amount cap is adjusted periodically based on the cost of living adjustments. For direct payments made to representatives on or after December 1, 2018, the assessment is limited to $95.
When a claimant, affected auxiliary beneficiary, or representative disagrees with the amount of the fee SSA authorized, he or she may protest that determination by requesting administrative review. Under the fee agreement process only, the SSA decision maker may also request administrative review of the fee amount authorized.
Under the fee agreement process, the party requesting administrative review must do so within 15 days of receiving the notice of the determination approving or disapproving the fee agreement or authorizing the amount of the fee. Under the fee petition process, the party requesting administrative review must do so within 30 days after the date of the notice of the fee authorization.
Sanctions for Charging Unauthorized Fees
The Act and SSA regulations prohibit representatives from charging or collecting any fee for representational services that SSA has not authorized, or that is more than the maximum amount SSA authorized, except for those fees described in the section, When SSA's Authorization Is Not Required, above.
Any representative found to have charged or collected an unauthorized fee may be suspended or disqualified from practice before SSA until authorized to do so and may be barred from appearing before SSA until full restitution is made to the claimant. The representative may also be subject to fines and imprisonment as specified in sections 206(a)(5) of the Act.

Zucker's goal in overtime gives Wild 3-2 win over Blackhawks to pull within 2-1 in seriesNHL.com @NHLdotcom
ST. PAUL, Minn. - Jason Zucker scored at 2:15 of overtime to give Minnesota a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday, pulling the Wild within 2-1 in the Western Conference quarterfinal series.
Zach Parise scored for the Wild early in the third period, but Duncan Keith got one back for the Blackhawks with 2:46 left in regulation to force the second overtime in three games of this best-of-seven series. Game 4 is here on Tuesday night.
After taking the top-seeded Blackhawks to overtime in Game 1 at Chicago, the Wild fell flat and lost 5-2 in Game 2. They took full advantage of the shift in venue and fed off the noise and excitement in the building in Minnesota's first home playoff game in five years.

She wasn't trying to shelter him. She was trying to keep him uninformed.
1. Chapter 1
Rating 5/5 Word Count 917 Review this Chapter
Alice Cullen had never hidden anything from her brother.
Of course, it was especially hard to do so anyway, considering his mind-reading capabilities.
But despite that, she had never found any reason to hide her thoughts or visions from him. He knew everything about her, and she found that that was the reason she was so close to him, closer than she was to Rosalie and Emmett.
Lately, though, she had mastered the art of blocking her mind from him. Visions, terrifying visions of various ways in which the love of his life would be in danger, ran through her head more and more frequently. Bella had never been more of a danger magnet than she was at this moment.
And yet, though she knew that these visions would tear Edward apart with worry, this was not the reason that she didn't disclose them to him. She wasn't trying to shelter him.
She was trying to keep him uninformed.
Edward would try to stop these occurrences from happening. He would do anything in his power to make it so that his Bella would never be in danger, would never again be put into a near-death situation, would never lose the humanity within her.
And Alice couldn't have that.
No matter how much she wanted to keep her human friend safe, she knew what all of these dangers led to. In each and every one of the visions, Edward had been capable of getting to Bella just before she slipped away completely.
And in each and every one of these visions, she saw him completing the task which he had so adamantly decided against but which Alice (and quite frankly, the rest of the family) knew was bound to happen soon. Even if Bella should not agree to the wedding (at least, not soon—Alice had seen them married but hadn't known when exactly the vision was taking place, a fact which frustrated her to no end).
And so, Edward would come to her room at random points during the day, asking if she had had any visions of what should happen in the near future, and she would shake her head, her conscience reprimanding her but her mind urging her to keep her concentration, to keep up the barrier that separated his knowledge and her thoughts.
Her excuse? Stress. She told him stressful situations had always had an effect on her visions (lie) and that she would certainly tell him when she happened to have another one (also a lie).
Though she knew that she was just as selfish as Edward, she wanted much different things. While Edward was too stubborn to take away the humanity that he loved so much in Bella, Alice was eager to do so, only so that she could have her best friend with her for eternity.
Rosalie had just never cut it. As much as Alice loved her (even despite her awful vanity), she had always thought of Bella as more of a sister.
And she wanted desperately to make that official. Soon.
As she sat on her navy-blue bedspread, contemplating her selfishness for Bella, a knock on the wooden door startled her quickly out of her reverie.
"Alice?" Edward's smooth voice sounded from behind the door, and Alice sighed.
"Come in, Edward." She said, almost exasperated. He had been in just an hour ago—he could be so impatient.
Edward opened the door, stepping into the room, and then closed it behind him carefully. Alice looked up at him…and her heart fell.
His eyes were tormented in such a way that she had never seen before. The stress of the unknown had obviously been overwhelming him more than she had previously thought.
But she knew she must remain strong. As much as she wanted him to know about the last premonition she had had (involving Bella and a very angry pack of werewolves), she knew that it would be best for the both of them if her mouth—and her mind—remained closed. At least for the time being.
"Anything yet?" he spoke quietly, his gaze never leaving hers. Her eyebrows creased as she pretended to think. For a moment, everything was at a standstill. She attempting to use what little acting skills she possessed while concentrating on keeping her mind closed and he waiting in a sort of horrified anticipation.
And then she shook her head. She didn't trust her voice. If she spoke, she would lose her concentration and open her mind.
Edward sighed, placing his head in his hands.
She wanted to put him out of his misery. She really did.
But she remained silent.
Eventually, he looked up at her, hopeful for a split second before he sighed, dejected. He walked to the door, opening it carefully, casting one last painful glance in her direction, before leaving.
She heard the melody start to play on the piano downstairs and flopped onto her back, feeling the soft comforter beneath her and staring at the ceiling, still concentrating, still erecting that barrier, still keeping from her brother so much when she had promised him long ago that she would never do so.
If only...if only she could ignore her conscience. If only she could focus simply on what she knew was best, rather than seeing so vividly Edward's pained gaze, even when it wasn't on her.
She kept the peace between her two debating sides by repeating to herself that he would thank her later.
But at the moment, the battle between her mind and her conscience was playing behind her eyelids and she found herself afraid to close her eyes.
It was a good thing she never had to sleep.

I hope I will be excused for framing my response to David Cameron's referendum speech with a personal note, even though I have neither struggled for European liberty in the Blitz, nor was I born with the image of the English Channel forever carved into my DNA. My childhood memories of the demolition of the Berlin Wall on German TV are mashed up with those of the drilling of the Channel Tunnel. Nonetheless, Cameron's mythical view of Britain's greatness – a small island with a big role – instantly brought to memory the rhetoric of that other declining imperial power with which I am familiar, late and post-Soviet Russia. In fact, my place of birth was, as I learned in first grade, 'the biggest country in the world', which reached, at the time, from the Pacific to the Carpathian mountains, and from the Black Sea to the Baltic. Aside from being a repressive state behind whose curtains, as Cameron indicated, many human lives were 'wasted', this curtain – jointly drawn by Lord Curzon and by Josef Stalin – also covered a very large common market, with a great deal of internal 'cultural diversity' and 'flexibility'.
In this common market, only some – albeit, a majority – existed as subjects of a centrally planned culture and economy. Others – and some of them now live in London – were able partially to transcend this cage by discovering various kinds of loopholes, or by actively resisting the 'system', or a mixture of both. Of this minority, some ammassed great personal fortunes, and others were active in intellectual and cultural associations. Both groups, the 'oligarchs' and the 'intellectuals', were ready to launch their capital – financial and cultural – onto the global market in the 1990s. As someone descending from the latter group, who benefited from historical luck, the European Union in general, and from German political reforms in particular, I feel it is my duty to draw on my personal experience and some knowledge in responding to his speech. Born in the Soviet Union, I attended schools in Russia and Germany, before taking up an offer from Cambridge to read History.
As I see it, Britain is now a community of citizens publicly defined by English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish heritage, but with notable influences from other European cultures, as well as those from the Indian Subcontinent, Africa, the Caribbean, and North America. Together, the citizens and temporary residents of Britain produce not only financial, but also human capital for a world market of both culture and goods. If I want to express my disappointment at the recent turn of events in British public life, it is not only as a now professional historian working at UCL's Centre for Transnational History and a long-time resident in this country, but also as a partial member of its civic community, someone who is entitled to vote in local and in European elections. I remain also an active citizen in both Germany and Russia, and am analysing the way these three states have interacted historically. I have these specific points to make about Britain as it appears to me and as Cameron's speech presented it.
1.On Britain's greatness and Europe. Cameron's seemingly pro-European opening casts Britain in the old role of a great leader of European civilisation, a hero of liberty. In so doing, like another waning empire familiar to me, Russia, Cameron's Britain risks drifting into a nostalgic postmemory of greatness tinted with the myth of World War II: a partial memory of historical events that is a poor model for the future. Instead, what strikes me about Britain today is a fascinating and growing public discourse on historical complicity in both liberty and slavery, a form of Vergangenheitsbewältigung not unlike its German precedent. This, and not the Blitz, is a promising foundation for a post-ethnic, multinational Europe that is not fixated on its own past. Russia's government vampires can suck at their people's oil and gas resources (exported to Britain and Europe) when the blood of World War II mythology runs out; but what is Britain's future government elite going to drink? By the looks of it, certainly not EU-funded solar power.
2. On 'In and Out'. Cameron's Britain is a 'she' when it comes to her greatness, but a 'he' when it comes to 'pulling out' of a failing, passive union of which it has grown 'weary'. Does Britain want to be 'in' or 'out' of the EU, he asks? To decide this, Cameron suggests, we need to know first what the EU is, and once this has been ascertained, the British people can go ahead with the referendum. This leaves the elephant in the room – is it so clear what Britain is? While the Scottish debates go on, we may at least surmise concerning the nature of recent manifestations of popular will. What, then, does the 'British people' will? Aside from the results of elections, the other indication of collective manifestations of power the people as a mass had expressed has very little to do with criticising the EU, and a lot to do with Britain as seen by the British government: whether it is mass protests against Tony Blair's Britain joining George Bush's US in the Iraq war, urban riots, or mass protests against David Cameron's Britain excluding its own population from affordable education, all these expressions of 'will' have been systematically ignored. The EU discussion is a symbolic distraction from the real conflicts between 'people' and 'government'. As for the students – the possible future of seeing this young population of a future island nation excluded from their equal rights to study at other EU universities, as non-Schengen students are from British universities today, is only an extension of this policy.
3. On Patriotism and the Market. The main line which Cameron and Boris Johnson have been promoting is that of Britain's desire to be part of a great market, but without the burdens of human and labour rights. The great market, they say, is global, but rights are national. This is a truthful, if bleak, picture of Britain's selective openness. Yes, British courts are open for use by Russian tycoons, who became stupendously rich by appropriating whole segments of the national economy in the 1990s and now have residence in the UK, to settle their disputes; at the same time, both Russian and British students seeking to study at UK universities face increasingly absurd visa regimes in the one case and a badly thought out financial provision in the other. Polish workers are welcome to work on constructing images of Britain, such as the Olympic stadium, but only if they remain unprotected by EU law. Now, just as during the Cold War, those who can use the loopholes of public systems – whether it is the Soviet, the British, or the EU market, is not important – continue to use them to their advantage. Please explain the logic to me why it is in Britain's national interest that its – or her, why not? – football teams and press are bought by citizens of Russia, a country that is not a member of NATO, let alone the EU, and why, at the same time, it is not in her interest that British universities and labour market ensure equal rights for British and European students and employees.
In short: Cameron's Britain is a great market for those who can afford it, and a great nation for those who cannot. His speech highlighted the worst of European traditions in self-definition, throwing out of the window the best. Echoing Churchill, he remembered Europe as it appears in the Daily Mails of the world: a 'Noble Continent', as Churchill once put it, a civilisation. Criticising 'transport metaphors' as a discourse of normative modernization, Cameron opted for a far more dangerous, gendered metaphor of Britain, the 'she-man', whose potence is asserted against a declining and amorphous female power of unions, federations, and rights. And yet should not wonderful writers in English like J.M.Coetzee have shown us who the civil administrator of a neo-imperial policy really is: a weary man who is 'waiting for the barbarians', but has forgotten to look in the mirror? Europe is also a Continent that failed to live up to its own image, as a recent volume to which I contributed, Europe in Crisis, eds. Mark Hewitson and Matthew d' Auria (Berghahn, 2012), suggests.
If 'repatriating powers', a favourite phrase of the current government, means rooting rights in fatherlands, I would urge everyone to think twice about how dubious the powers of fatherlands have been in Europe's own history. Instead, I would suggest turning to a memory of the other Europe, one of which emigres, exiles, and expats living in London between empire and Cold War were only too aware: as a continent that is quite capable of producing the greatest markets and the greatest atrocities all in one package. Is it not this Europe which demands a return to the language of human, and not just national rights? Whether the 'continental' authority of a European court of justice assumes stewardship of such a set of rights because it is European, or because it is a court of justice, is another matter.

Chittenango School District proposes safety and security in Capital Building Project
CHITTENANGO >>Chittenango School District has a host of safety and security updates it has brought to the table for local residents to vote on in the coming months.
The district held an informational meeting to go over the list of installations on Feb. 12 in the High School Auditorium. The proposal calls for a new transportation building, and addition to Bolivar Elementary, new surveillance and communications systems for all the buildings. Throughout the district the capital building project will also be replacing boilers, drinking fountains, water systems, roofs and the high school track. Hunt, an engineering firm from Horseheads, NY will be heading the project.
A big aspect of the project is that it will have no impact on the tax rate.
"We are going to be able to complete around $11.8 million worth of work with no impact on our tax rate," said superintendant Michael Schiedo.
One of largest portions of the project is a new transportation facility which will be built on a plot of land across New Boston Road from the current facility. The old transportation building was built in 1960, and according to Superintendant Michael Schiedo it would cost the district just shy of $3 million to repair the current facility and make it handicap accessible. The new building will take a $4.8 million chunk out the $11.8 million capital building budget but will save the district money in the long run. The new facility will feature better entrances and create less of a traffic hazard compared to the old facility.
Another major piece of the project is the addition to Bolivar elementary. Although it is still in it's conceptual phase, the addition will most likely house 4 new Kindergarten classrooms. Representatives from Hunt said that throughout the design phase, members of the community and faculty will be consulted for ideas and plans for the new buildings.
About 90% of the funding comes from State Aid. The rest of the funding comes from the capital reserve fund which was created by Chittenango District voters for projects similar to this. If the proposal is not submitted within the next few months, the project would lose 10% of that state aid which is incentive aid earmarked specifically for security upgrades.
"The timing and funding is perfect to do a project like this," Schiedo said. "We are trying to make sure the district maintains a safe and healthy environment for our students, staff and community."
The project will be put to a vote on May 21 in the middle school cafeteria.

| WMU News
KALAMAZOO—Poet Philip Levine, lauded as an "ironic Whitman of the industrial heartland," will visit Western Michigan University for a public reading of his work at 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 28.
Levine is a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and the 18th United States Poet Laureate, serving in that capacity for 2011-12. His free public appearance is scheduled for Brown Auditorium in Schneider Hall, home to WMU's business college.
A Detroit native, Levine worked in the auto industry, and his poetry is best known for its urban perspective and its depiction of blue-collar life. His published collections of poems include "News of the World," published in 2009, and "What Work Is," which won the National Book Award for Poetry in 1991. That is one of two National Book Awards Levine has won. The first was in 1980 for "Ashes: Poems Old and New."
Levine's "The Simple Truth" was his 15th collection of poems published and includes 33 poems that examine memory, history and myth. "The Simple Truth" won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1995.
That book is frequently referenced by those praising the poet. Upon Levine's appointment as Poet Laureate in August 2011, for instance, Librarian of Congress James H. Billington said, "Philip Levine is one of America's great narrative poets. His plainspoken lyricism has, for half a century, championed the art of telling 'The Simple Truth'...."
"The enthusiasm among our students at every level is particularly high," says Dr. William Olsen, editor of New Issues Poetry and Prose. "Levine has a reputation as being a wonderful reader who engages the crowd, and his poetry is always companionable and generous. I believe he is the best role-model poet in the nation."
Olsen says the late Herb Scott, who founded New Issues Poetry and Prose, was a student of Levine's in the 1960s. In 1999, when the press launched its first poetry prize, Scott made the strategic decision to invite Levine to judge the first competition as a way of conveying the level of quality the new prize was designed to honor. Scott and Levine also once did a reading together in Prague at WMU's annual Summer Writing Program.
Philip Levine
Levine earned a bachelor's degree from Wayne State University and a Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of Iowa. He has taught in writing programs across the nation, including California State University-Fresno, from which he retired in 1992 after 34 years on the faculty. He also has taught at New York University and been a Distinguished Writer-in-Residence at Columbia, Princeton, Brown and Tufts universities and the University of California-Berkeley.
Levine's visit to WMU is sponsored by New Issues Press, the College of Arts and Sciences, WMU Center for the Humanities, Department of English, and the Third Coast Writing Project.
For more information about Levine's visit to WMU, contact Dr. William Olsen, editor of New Issues Poetry and Prose, at firstname.lastname@example.com or (269) 387-8185.

The real test will be coming in the next few months. There has been a major security threat in the first nine months of the last 3 Presidents and Trump and the Chiefs of Staff would have to be crazy to think this is going to change now. What he does before, during and after is the real test.
This stuff about Russia is smoke and mirrors just as all the stuff about Hillary was. Just stuff to keep people off the real issues.
Like it or not Trump is the President now, but I still say he won't finish out the 4 years. I think he would be lucky to do 2 years but would be surprised if he even did 1. But healthcare, the wall and most of the other stuff he wants to do aren't in his hands, they need to go through Congress. So in that regard, its really Congress that has messed up the domestic side of the equation.
I really think he thought he was going to lose and start up a conservative news network and make lots of money. It must be killing him to have to think about healthcare when what he really wants to do is make money.

Selena Gomez Intruder Arrested Again
Poor Selena Gomez! Just one week after purchasing a new home in Calabasas, Ca, her new home has already been invaded twice. Even more shocking is that both arrests involve the same man.
On March 30, according to TMZ, a man by the name of Che Cruz showed up at Selena's home and asked if the singer was home. When the cops arrived, they found Cruz had broken into the guest house. He was arrested and charged with burglary and trespassing. After pleading no contest on Wednesday, he was sentenced to 45 days in the L.A. County Jail and ordered to stay away from Selena and her home for three years.
Cruz was later released on Friday due to overcrowding in the county jail. FOX News reports that just eight hours after his release, he was arrested AGAIN for jumping the fence at Selena's home after someone called 9-1-1. He is currently being held in jail on a $20,000 bond.
Scary stuff for Selena but we are glad that nobody was hurt from the incidents.

The Serena table lamp was designed for us by George Scatchard, a respected ceramic artist who has been creating clay recipes, glazes and stoneware products since the 1960s. To create this unique design, clay is poured into a mold then removed and trimmed by hand. Multiple layers of a proprietary glaze are carefully hand-brushed onto the piece in a specific order and thickness. The stoneware firing reveals the beauty of the process. A white cotton shade and three-way lighting functionality give the perfect amount of light for any space.
