Students in Maine Township High School District 207 could find one bit of information dropping off their transcripts in the future: their class ranks.
The District 207 school board continued its discussion of whether to eliminate class rankings – following the example of several suburban districts, including New Trier High School District 203, Stevenson High School District 125, and Glenbrook High School District 225.
Cutting class rank from student transcripts would reduce the emphasis on very small differences in grade point averages, reduce the advantage of students coming from less competitive high schools, discourage competition between students and make students more likely to choose classes based on their interests instead of their effect on class rank, said Barbara Dill-Varga, the assistant superintendent for curriculum.
Studies conducted by several school districts that have made the same move found that students' chances of getting into a variety of colleges were not hurt by eliminating class rank from their transcripts, she said.
Board member Edward Mueller, for one, isn't buying it.
"If you're an admissions officer and you have two resumes in front of you and one says the student was in the top 12 percent of his class and the other one doesn't, which one are you going to take?" he said.
John and Tina Sclafani, parents of a Maine South student, agreed.
"The top schools are receiving 10, 20, 30,000 applicants," John Sclafani said. "If the ranking isn't there, that file is going to get pushed to the side and maybe they'll look at it later."
But parent Kathy O'Grady said her daughter was not admitted to the college she originally wanted to attend because her class rank at Maine South was not high enough. With a B average, she was not in the top half of her class. At a less competitive school, she most likely would have made the cutoff, O'Grady said.
Maine West High School principal Audrey Haugan talked about a student who saw his rank drop from first in his class to third because a non-honors class he took was recorded with his real grade – an A – instead of pass/fail, which does not affect a student's grade point average and which he had asked to be recorded. The non-weighted A was enough to move him down two places. Fortunately, he discovered the mistake before transcripts went out.
Board members suggested that before the district makes a decision, it should consider allowing students to choose whether to have their class rank listed on their transcripts. That would allow the top students to garner any benefits from their rank while protecting other students from having to compete against students from less competitive schools.
But Mueller suggested that class rank be included on other documents, such as grade reports.
"I lost my innocence about grades when my son was in seventh grade and we got a letter saying he was on the honor roll," Mueller said. But when he counted, 185 out of 225 students in his class received honors.
"Class rank tests something and it tests it accurately," he said.

This is not UCLA related but still lot of fun to watch for any Bruins who grew up rooting for Montana's Niners (hey BTW Jerry Rice Jr. had 3 catches in our second full scrimmage). Anyway, Fooch at NinersNation.com has the scoop on this video and another one in which Joe hit's the coach's car. LOL.

PORTLAND - — A woman who was trapped for 18 hours with her hand stuck under the hood of a pickup truck in Molalla said she stayed focused on staying alive.
Joan Zuber's hand had to be amputated but she is recovering well. The 68-year-old woman has a scratchy throat, and needs an occasional sip of water, but she is amazingly strong and easygoing about what happened.
"Well, I have another hand, I guess I'm left handed now," she said with a smile.
Zuber was working on her truck's battery Wednesday afternoon when the hood slammed down on her hand. She was trapped until late Thursday morning when her cries for help were heard by neighbors on horseback.
Zuber said she was dressed in outdoor gear and walked in place to stay warm at times as temperatures dropped into the low 30s and snow began falling. She just refused to give up.
"Really, I just had to stay positive," she said. "I didn't think my hand was going to be saved, but I really didn't want to die and I didn't want people to come and find me hanging from the side of the truck, you know."
Zuber remains hospitalized Tuesday but hopes to get to return home soon. She also hopes to get back into her favorite hobbies of horseback riding, skiing and rock climbing, among other things.
Although life will be different with only one hand, Zuber said she's confident she can adjust. She's just glad to be alive.

ACC in NCAA Tourney Breakdown: 2) UNC vs. 4) Kentucky
One ACC team remains – can the Tar Heels sweep their two game series with the Wildcats?
(2) North Carolina Tar Heels vs. (4) Kentucky Wildcats, 5:05 (EST), CBS, Newark NJ
Coaches Tourney Records: UNC – Roy Williams 57-18 (7-2 in Elite 8); Kentucky – John Calipari – 28-12 (2-4 Elite 8).
Heel That Has to Step up: F Harrison Barnes – It's time, time for Barnes' big game to lead to UNC's advancement…UK's Josh Harrellson (6′10 275, averaging 15.6 ppg in tourney) has been going off and will bother Zeller and co. in the paint – UNC needs a big one from Barnes.
UNC Has to Stop: Brandon Knight (17.2 ppg, 4.2 apg) – Knight was Kentucky's most consistent scorer all season, but not so much in the NCAA Tourney. He's scored 2 against Princeton, 30 against West Virginia and 9 against Ohio State…your guess is as good as mine on his performance against UNC, but I wouldn't count on a bad one.
What I'm Thinking…: This is a rematch of a game long before these teams were as good as they are now. UNC won 75-73 in the Dean Dome on December 4, 2010 – Zeller put up 27 points and 11 rebounds – UK's Doron Lamb was the Wildcats' leading scorer with 24 points. What can you take from that game? Not much.
What's important is that Kentucky just downed the tourney's best team (Ohio State) and UNC drilled Marquette. There may not be a better frontcourt matchup in the tournament then UK/UNC, and Brandon Knight, Kendall Marshall aren't too shabby either. Bottom-line, this is game is going to be entertaining – just like the first one. The size of each will affect the other, but I like Marshall and Barnes to attack Kentucky in a shootout win.
Pick: Heels 82-76

Comcast's plan to drop TV 13 Nashua draws ire
Carolyn Choate of TV 13 interviews U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen about the future of Nashua's air traffic control center. (BARBARA TAORMINA/Union Leader Correspondent)
"We are dismayed to learn that Comcast has made plans to drop WYCN TV 13," said state Sen. Peggy Gilmour in a letter to Trevor Arp, Comcast's vice president of programming in the Northeast division. "I ask you, in the strongest way I can, to reconsider that decision. TV 13 is not just a TV station ... it is a community asset. . They make a difference with their hard work and commitment in the communication they offer our region."
According to Carol Lefever, chief operating officer for OTA, Comcast felt that TV 13 was no longer providing local coverage to the Nashua area, and the bandwidth used to carry the station could be used for other services.
Residents who have signed the petition urging Comcast to keep TV 13 in its lineup have said the station provides news and information that no other media outlets cover. Seniors have stressed that the station lets them stay on top of community issues, and civic groups and organizations have said it allows them to reach a wide audience with announcements and events.
Lefever, who works with Comcast operators in different parts of the country, said the cable giant is typically sensitive to the needs and interests of its viewers. And that track record of responsiveness to consumers has left her, like Choate, cautiously optimistic that Comcast will reverse the decision to turn off Channel 13 if company officials understand how much local viewers value the station and what it provides.
"Without Comcast's continued broadcast of (TV 13's) signal, our community will suffer due to the fact that there really is no alternative source for capturing the vibrancy and energy of our community and sharing it with people in their homes," he said.

Budget Cuts to Put College Out of Reach?
Budget cuts proposed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger could prevent hundreds of thousands of Californians from attending college this fall, higher education officials told a legislative committee Monday.
The executive director of the California Student Aid Commission, Diana Fuentes-Michel, said the Republican governor's plan to phase out Cal Grant aid to lower income, college-bound students could keep more than 200,000 out of classes.
"If these students cannot afford to attend college, they will face the worst job market in decades," she told a two-house committee that is trying to eliminate a state budget deficit now pegged at $24.3 billion.
Karen Humphrey, executive director of the California Postsecondary Education Commission, urged lawmakers to scale back rather than eliminate Cal Grants. She suggested temporarily lowering grants for students attending private schools and raising the grade point average required to qualify for the aid.
She also suggested phasing in temporary fee increases at community colleges to ease some program cuts.
"CPEC doesn't normally recommend fee increases like this," she said. "But the other options on your table could be worse."
Schwarzenegger is proposing to cut $2.75 billion from higher education through June 30, 2010. That includes community colleges, University of California and California State University systems.
The state will get $537 million from the federal stimulus package to offset some of those cuts, and the administration anticipates California will receive more aid, said H.D Palmer, a spokesman for the Department of Finance.
Schwarzenegger is also proposing to save another $173 million in the coming fiscal year by eliminating new Cal Grants.
The California State University's chancellor, Charles Reed, said the cuts proposed for his 23-campus system were the equivalent of cutting its enrollment by 60,000.
"That is impossible," he told the committee.
He said student funding at CSU has dropped 25 percent over the last decade. The university has also frozen administrative salaries and limited travel and purchases to hold down expenses, he added.
"Now we have to do something about the number of faculty and staff we have," he said. "Our No. 1 goal is to offer as many classes and sections as we possibly can and secondly protect as many jobs as we can."
Reed and University of California President Mark Yudof urged lawmakers to let university officials figure out how to impose any cuts the Legislature adopts instead of mandating cuts in certain areas.
"It's very important for us to have flexibility," Yudof said. "There are things we probably should have eliminated years ago. For a variety of reasons they have not been."
He said the cuts would force employee furloughs and the cancellation of some programs.
"We've got to arrest this race to the bottom...," he added. "This will be, in many ways, an unraveling of a master plan (for higher education) that California adopted about 50 years ago."
Jack Scott, a former state senator who now serves as chancellor of the California community college system, urged lawmakers to lower enrollment requirements, saying that forcing the system's 110 colleges to accept the same number of students while absorbing budget cuts could bankrupt some smaller schools.
He also urged lawmakers to keep community college budget cuts proportional to the schools' share of funding under Proposition 98, the minimum kindergarten-to-community-college funding requirements set by voters in 1988.
"When you look at Proposition 98, we normally get 11 percent of the revenue," he said. "I don't think we should get more than 11 percent of the cuts."
Leo Martinez, acting chancellor and dean at the University of California's Hastings College of Law, urged legislators to reject Schwarzenegger's proposal to cut off all state support for the 131-year-old school.
The state's investments in Hastings have been repaid many times over by the contributions made by its graduates, who include former Assembly Speaker and San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, Martinez said.
"I am confident that in this year's entering class there are many other possible Willie Browns, and in coming years there will be many, many other possible Willie Browns," he said.Copyright © 2014, Los Angeles Times

375ml cork & caged bottle poured into a tulip.
A- Cork flew off as soon as undoing the cage. Pours a very translucent golden color with a very high carbonation level of fast rising bubbles, a very foamy 2-finger white head forms that has great retention and doesn't recede.
S- Definitely on the bretty side with a golden ale base and a hay funk presence. Aromas of brettanomyces, hay, light grain, hint of lemon, oak, and a bit of a floral aspect. Fairly complex and aromatic.
T- Sour lemons, brett influenced barnyard funk with a bit of hay, slight grain, finishes with a bit of a sweetness of dry lemons and grain, ending with a lightly syrupy golden ale presence. Nice balanced funk, not overly sour, some decent complexity.
M- Fairly over-carbonated, long lasting head give a light foamy aspect, finishes fairly dry, pretty drinkable.
O- Tiarna is a pretty solid wild ale that was fairly accessible. My only complaint was the over-carbonation which is easily solved by letting it sit 5-10 minutes. Just watch out when opening the cork. If you see this on the shelf it's definitely worth picking up.

375ml C&C, bottled October 2013, poured into a Cantillon taster 7/7/2014.
A- Bright, clean and clear straw yellow body with a nice bubbly two-finger white head with excellent retention. It looks very refreshing and a nice change-up for the night.
S- Citrus zest, pineapple, pale malt, a bit of leathery funk. It's certainly a different nose than most other Brett beers I've had.
F- Pineapple, pale malt, Belgian candi sugar, lemon zest. This is quite interesting as this is clearly a Brett beer but there is more to be found, which makes sense given the blending of different threads.
M- A bit on the thinner side but well carbonated and drinks clean and very dry. The end is a bit more bitter than I'd like, presumably from the noble hopping, accompanied by a crisp, spicy Belgian yeast finish.
O- Interesting, different given the blending of different threads but certainly not in the conversation for the better Brett beers out there.

375ml corked and caged bottle into Hill Farmstead stemware. Shared with schen9303.
Pours a 1.5 finger foamy white head with excellent stick. Beer is a pale, clear goldenrod. Lacing is thick and layered with excellent stick. Near perfect!
Nose is starfruit, oak, Brett, lemon zest and a bit of sweetness. Rather subtle but very well integrated.
Opens lemon zest, Brett, wood, coriander and yeast. More lemon zest tartness mixed with rotting wood and barnyard notes in the middle. Hay, Brett and lemon rind at the end. Finishes yeasty and tart with a very mellow, lightly tart aftertaste. Tasty!
Light bodied with ample carbonation. Prickly and aggressive in the mouth and crisp and clean going down. Slightly filmy finish with a clean aftertaste that barely registers. Really drinkable!
Just a really well made beer, Tiarna doesn't blow away the taste buds but impresses with its subtlety and continuity. Worth trying and certainly representative of the Allagash Wilds lineup.

Thanks to newbrewbb for the opportunity to try this one. Pours a sunny, orange-gold with a loose, bright white head. Nose reveals citrus, brett and some oak notes. Taste consistent with nose - not overly sour but pleasantly tart with a slightly medicinal quality towards the back. Mouthfeel is light and lively with a bright carbonation. Overall, a solid entry-level wild - not overly complex; however, still quite tasty.

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
first loss of the season may have played a role in its second. The Jaguars lost to East Ridge Saturday, 65-53, less than two days after playing three overtimes with Jackson County.
"East Ridge has got a pretty good team. I just thought it was a sloppy game from us. We came out very flat and didn't have any legs, which I was worried about," North Laurel coach Brad Sizemore said.
The Jaguars went through a light shoot around on Friday to prepare for East Ridge and another light session Saturday morning. Then they boarded the bus for a two-hour drive to Letcher County Central.
"I just think we were flat mentally and physically. We had a lot of open looks and the ball just sort of hit the rim and didn't go in," Sizemore said.
East Ridge was coming off three straight losses. They lost three-point games to Sheldon Clark and Owen County. Before that they dropped an overtime game to Letcher County Central.
The Warriors opened a 17-7 lead in the first quarter with nothing going right for North Laurel. There were misses from inside and outside. The Jaguars were also getting beaten on the boards and the press wasn't effective.
"We got killed on the boards and we didn't finish our shots inside like we needed to. When you come over here and play in this region it's going to be physical. I told them that before the game," Sizemore said.
East Ridge cruised to a 24-9 lead before the Jaguars showed signs of life with a 12-4 run.
"We just missed a lot of easy shots around the basket and we had a lot of open threes on the perimeter that I just kept waiting for them to go down. I kept telling them to shoot it because they were standing there wide open," Sizemore said.
The rally started with a baseline drive by Austin Thompson. And a pair of free throws from Elijah Jervis. A steal by Peyton Broughton led to a layup for Marcus Carson. After a putback by Johnny Miller of East Ridge, Kendrick Henson was fouled as he sank a three-pointer. Henson added the free throw for a four-point play. Henson led North Laurel with 18 points.
"Kendrick came in and hit five threes. I was glad to see him get going offensively," Sizemore said.
The Jaguars momentum would carry over to the second half. Henson played a big role with three three-pointers in the third quarter.
He connected on back-to-back possessions to pull North Laurel within 37-35. A jumper by Ryan House to end the third quarter tied the score for the first time at 37-37. Much of the Jaguars' rally featured a five-guard lineup.
"We were just trying to do anything to get them sped up. When we had our bigs out there they were just spreading us out and getting to the rim," Sizemore said. "They've got four guys out there that can handle it. They've got some strong kids. Those two guards are really, really quick. We had a hard time staying in front of them."
North Laurel's first lead came on an offensive rebound by Thompson. It would also be their only lead. It would last just 12 seconds before Miller put the Warriors back on top with a pair of free throws. Miller's shot would start a 13-2 run.
"I thought we played a good third quarter. We just kind of hit a wall in the fourth quarter and couldn't do anything," Sizemore said.
East Ridge is a Pike County school, product of the 2002 consolidation of Milliard, Elkhorn City, and Feds Creek. The Warriors first-year head coach, Randy McCoy, led Pikeville College for seven years before leaving due to health reasons. The Warriors lost in the finals of the 14th Region last season to Johnson Central last year.
"They've lost a lot of tough games early in the year. I knew they were good," Sizemore said.
North was scheduled to travel to Harlan County tonight.

SME introduced the Contemporary Art Gallery in 2010 dedicated to creativity and design. More than 50 works of Art have been displayed at the three past RAPID events. Artists familiar with design software and additive manufacturing processes displayed their work to an appreciative audience. Other artists had the opportunity to explore this new medium connecting their hands with automated programs to manipulate their visual presentation. Their drawings were then transformed into actual works of art using additive manufacturing to make the three dimensional works for display.
Why have an art gallery at RAPID? Additive manufacturing/3D printing, 3D imaging and digital sculpture are used creatively in a new approach to art creation and production. This new, high-speed, on-demand medium allows the impossible to be possible from the finite barriers of reproduction for a single artist, to the unlimited reproductions of artists' works. This new artistic medium will provide an economic boon to the artists themselves, as well as to the additive manufacturing industry as a whole.
A number of display pedestals will be made available to artists that have works created using additive technologies. A limited number of pedestals will be available to artists to submit work in a CAD/STL file to be printed by professional additive manufacturing service providers. Art renderings must be submitted by March 1, 2013 for consideration. All Art will be juried for selection and display. Artists are to submit images (jpeg preferred) for review by advisors along with their credentials and process used in creation of the artwork. The art will be prominently displayed on the show floor, on an open air 2' square surface or display case (for jewelry). Artwork should be durable and stable for display. Contact with the art will be prohibited though minimal security provided in the immediate area open to attendees. Artist will assume expense for shipping work to and from the hotel.
Artists' work and bio with contact information will be posted on each display, in the show directory and on the RAPID Contemporary Art e-Gallery web site. To learn of sponsorship opportunities for the Contemporary Art gallery at RAPID 2013, contact Angie Szerlong or Nick Smith at 800.733.3976 or email@example.com.

We chose the hotel because it was pet friendly and just off I-40.
There is no elevator in the hotel and no microwave or refrigerator in the room.There was bubble gum on one bed's blanket, hopefully from the maid while she was making the bed. Some of the room's lights didn't work. The lamp in our room was broken. Their free breakfast is decent. Our room's AC was not on for us when we got there, and the room was hot (in July). The man who works at night is not very friendly and doesn't hear very well. For a 2 star the hotel is not bad. They do have an indoor pool, but I never saw it up close so I can't comment on it.

The room was clean and the public spaces were very nice and modern.The clerk who checked us in did a great job of getting us a room, her name was Amber. When we got to the room, it was 2 doubles. So we called back to the front desk and asked if we could switch to a king. Her reply was, since we booked through Priceline, she could not switch our rooms because then Priceline would not pay them for the stay. I have never had this happen to us before and most hotels often honor our request. I know there is no guarantee on the type of beds the hotel offers, however, to hear that Priceline would not pay them if they were to switch our room sounded ludicrous. I hope this is not some new policy you have put in place!

I first encountered Pino Silvestre in the early 1970s and still have a small quantity from that time. I'm delighted to find it at FragranceX (and that other great Italian classic too - Acqua di Selva - which I've also ordered at a great price!). Both these fragrances, which have much in common, reek of 1950s/60s Italy - Fellini, Visconti, etc; handsome Italian aristos in beautifully tailored suits, gorgeous women - sheer class with a touch of understated decadence. (Incidentally, a woman friend likes Pino Silvestre - as a woman's fragrance!) Thanks, FragranceX - I'm so pleased to be able to buy these timeless products again at excellent prices - and very well packed to survive the trip to the wilds of south west England.

Pine, pine and more pine. This smells very ordinary, definitely not a head turner. Also smells a little outdated, not recommended for under 30.

Comments about Pino Silvestre Cologne:
Here's a little Mini-Review of the Products I received from FragranceX.
Pino Sylvestre (Original) ......This is my Third 125Ml. Bottle. I love this stuff! It smells like nothing else. It has a nice green aroma, fresh and un-complicated. One thing that is nice about this product is that it is true to the original Formula, which is over Fifty years old.
One Man Show by Jaques Bogart....What a pleasant surprise! This too has a very distinct aroma, very sophisticated in an Eastern Bloc kind of way....Someone else described this frag. as Grey and Linear. A very good description! This stuff smells so interesting that I'm tempted to try some of J.B.s other Men's Frag. Formulations.....And....the Price was Right :)
Jaipur by Boucheron......This Formulation smells shockingly good! It starts out quite strong, but an hour or so after the Dry-Down it really gets interesting! So many different smells come to the surface....almost like an Olfactory Fairy Tale. Even though it is an EDT it behaves like an EDP. it actually leaves a little Oil Ring around the Spritzer Nozzle. To me that's a good sign....that Natural Ingredients are used. This is by far the best Frag. I have ever used, Hands Down! This product is being formulated by Inter Parfums of France. They are really really good!
I also own Van Cleef and Arpels Tsar, Pour Homme, and Midnight in Paris. And Mont Blanc Legend. All Inter Parfums Product. All very good!

To the Editor:
Cumberland Times-News
As usual the Times-News muddles the topic. It fails to ask, much less answer the question "What is security?"
School security is a broad topic. Many places are doing different things and some schools are making no changes.
Until you define security you cannot fund it or assign it to a department. You need to answer the questions of "Who, what, why, where, and how."
There are many aspects to security. Are you talking about security inside the school building; in the parking lot, in the area, in the neighborhood?
What sort of weapons are you concerned with? Does the same situation prevail at every school? Have you even considered less expensive options like metal detectors or CCTV?
Also the why is important. If the board of education wants extra security in the form of more school resource officers, what has changed in our schools since one year ago? Have they suddenly become more dangerous?
Please tell us in detail what has changed. If the board of education is just doing this to have an end-run around the Maintenance of Effort, I suggest that they find the money in their current budget for the additional personnel.
If the school board is just doing this because of Sandy Hook and nothing has changed in the schools, then it is just monkey-see, monkey-do.
Without a plan and fuller discussion of what is meant by security, it is a waste of time talking about it. It becomes just words, chatter and great for newspapers to harp on for lack of anything else to write about.

A quote from the congressman in the CA: "We've got it under review. We've got the request and we'll see what happens.. It's a 'We the people' event and I think sometimes it's become about 'I the organizer,' for the organizer."

John Andrews runs the Simply Gourmet Bistro and Groceria in Peabody, Massachusetts. I was fortunate enough to attend a grand opening ceremony the other day, and sample some of his amazing hot food.
John's situation is like a lot of other small businesses. Things are tight, and he really needs more business to stay afloat. For those of you in Massachusetts, swing by and visit John at 297 Lynn St, Peabody, MA 01960 or call (978) 530-1100. For those of you on Facebook, check out the fan page.
But seriously, is there anything that we could do with social media that would save John's business?
I really don't know. Because if you don't live near John (and I don't really), I can't buy his food often enough to keep him funded. If you do live near him, as @CharJTF from Twitter does, you already know about him.
So how would you help John?

Looking for a different kind of Thanksgiving celebration?
According to the National Restaurant Association, more than 30 million Americans enlist the help of restaurants for their Thanksgiving feast by dining out or using takeout.
But if you've done Marie Callender's or Mimi's Café, you may want to mix things up.
San Juan Capistrano's Swallows Inn cowboy saloon does offer a Thanksgiving meal in old-West style. The fixin's may sound familiar – turkey, ham, dressing, potatoes, gravy, pies – but the environment probably isn't. Brassieres hanging from the ceiling tend to do that.
Even better, the meal is complimentary, according to the pub's website. Celebrants are welcome to bring a side of veggies or a pie to share, but it's not mandatory.
"You're in it to make money, and that's pretty much 364 days a year. But one day a year, it's not like that," said acting General Manager Cal Grimes.
The tradition has been going on as long as he's been with Swallow's, 18 years, Grimes said.
"We line it all up on the shuffleboard table and get a buffet going," he said. The event, which starts at noon and goes until the food runs out – usually around 4:30-5 p.m. – attracts between 250-300 people, he said.
In Swallow's Inn fashion, a band will be playing from 1-5 p.m. – to burn off the calories right then and there, Grimes said – and TV screens guarantee you won't miss any football.
"Swallow's Inn picks up the entire tab. It doesn't matter if you're a regular, a first-timer or homeless," Grimes said.
You might think that kind of environment brings in the lonely-hearted, but couples make up most of the celebrants, Grimes said.
"It's really good times. I wouldn't blink my eye to bring a girlfriend or significant other to the Swallow's for Thanksgiving."
One small caveat: You must be 21 or older to partake. It is a bar, after all.

Nearly five years after the Ocean Alliance bought the old Tarr & Wanson Paint Factory on Rocky Neck, the nonprofit says it will be working out of the complex by the new year.
During Mayor Carolyn Kirk's State of the City address Monday night, Iain Kerr, the ocean research nonprofit's chief executive officer, announced to a room of about 100 residents that the Alliance will work out of at least one of the buildings— historically, the Tarr & Wanson Paint Manufactory — within a month's time.
"I expect to have our offices in one of the buildings in the next 30 days," Kerr said.
Applause echoed in the City Hall auditorium, as residents cheered the long-awaited progress. The Alliance had indicated in March that it expected to be ready to move in and begin operations at some point over the summer, but that never happened, becoming the latest in a series of delays.
Kerr said the structures had "put up a good fight," requiring millions for environmental cleanup and preparation before the Alliance, which acquired the site in 2008, moves in.
The old paint manufacturing company developed innovative copper paint, which was used on the bottom of boats to prevent barnacles. Kerr has said the Ocean Alliance has already spent around $4 million on the purchase of the site, repair and remediation. Previously, Kerr said that both the brick buildings on site, Buildings "A" and "B," have been cleaned and gutted, while the nonprofit has had interior ice-blasting done to remove caked on layers of hazardous paint, and pulled out all the old piping.
Kerr said his next step is to begin working on making the other brick buildings work-ready.
He said he plans to implement a robotics lab and a green chemistry lab, where the research agency will work to identify marine problems and find solutions.
As for the dominant wooden building — the iconic Gloucester Harbor structure with "Manufactory" emblazoned on the site — Kerr said he will need to raise another $4 million to $6 million in order to begin work there.
The $6 million estimate reflects a building where the facade could remain as wood, but the $4 million estimate is a more reasonable goal, said Kerr.

President's Charge to the Committee
I am writing to announce the formation of a new, College-wide Committee: the President's Advisory Committee on Diversity. The importance of such a Committee is evident from the central role of diversity in the educational experience of the College and our commitment to enhancing this diversity in the future.
My charge to this Committee is twofold. First, I ask that they review and monitor (in quantitative terms) the diversity of the faculty, staff, and student body and the changes in each on a year-to-year basis. Second, they should propose new approaches to increasing diversity in all areas and ways of strengthening the sense of community on campus for all groups. They may approach these goals by assembling data from our campus and from other campuses, by sponsoring discussions, public events, or workshops, and by inviting individuals to their meetings. Each year, they may choose one or more particular topics to investigate in depth. I anticipate that the Committee would plan to meet with me on at least an annual basis, as well as with the Vice Presidents, but that its work would be independent of our direction and, when necessary, critical of our procedures. At the end of each year, the Committee would prepare a report for me and distribute it to the full College community.
The Committee will have the following composition:
- Three tenured members of the faculty, appointed by the Executive Committee of the Faculty for two-year terms (renewable)
- Two staff members, appointed by the Staff Council for two-year terms (renewable)
- Two students, appointed by the Associated Students of Pomona College for one-year terms (renewable)
- The Associate Dean (Diversity Officer) of the College
- The Director of Human Resources
- An Associate Dean or Director from Student Affairs, appointed by the Vice President and Dean of Students
- An Associate Dean or Director from Admissions, appointed by the Vice President and Dean of Admissions
- A Director or Associate Director of Alumni Relations, appointed by the Vice President for Advancement
- The Director of Institutional Research
The Committee will be chaired by one of the faculty members, with the selection made by the Executive Committee of the Faculty. I am asking each constituency to make its initial selections for this Committee in the course of this semester, so the Committee will be in place and ready to start work by the beginning of Fall Semester, 2005.
The present proposal owes a strong debt to several different campus groups in its formulation and structure. Over the last several years, the Irvine Diversity Steering Committee has shown how a unified look at questions of diversity across the College community can help in planning new initiatives. I have benefited from their observations, as well as from the thoughts of the Affirmative Action Committee of the Faculty, the leadership of the Staff Council, the Associated Students of Pomona College, and the Trustee Policy Review Committee on Diversity. I welcome the support of the entire campus community as we move forward with this important initiative.

Six men in hospital - one critically ill - after taking hallucinogenic drug
12:51pm Friday 11th January 2013 in News By Gavin Engelbrecht
SIX men are in hospital - one critically ill - after taking a hallucinogenic drug.
Police received a report expressing concern for the welfare of four people in a house in Ripon Gardens in Jesmond, Newcastle, at 3am this morning.
Officers and paramedics attended and six people - all men believed to be aged between 19 and 22 - were taken to hospital. Some of them are believed to be students.
At this stage police believe they have taken a hallucinogenic drug called 2CB which at this stage is believed has been bought over the internet.
One of the men is in a critical condition. The other five are currently not in a serious condition.
Inquiries to establish exactly what happened are underway and officers are warning people about the dangers of taking any illegal drugs - especially those bought over the internet.
Chief Superintendent Gary Calvert, Newcastle Area Command, said: "We were called to the address early this morning and six people have been taken to hospital, one is in a critical condition.
"We are carrying out extensive enquiries and are working with our partner agencies to find out what has happened and warn others of the dangers.
"Taking any illegal drug is dangerous and potentially life threatening. 2CB is an illegal hallucinogenic drug. If anyone has any of these in their possession we urge them not to take them and hand them in to the police.
"Anyone who may have taken the drug and feels unwell should seek medical attention immediately.
"Medical professionals in the area have been alerted and if anyone has any information regarding this they should contact police as soon as possible."
2CB often comes in purple capsules and is related to Ecstasy. It is also sold as white powder or small pills. It is an illegal class A drug and is particularly dangerous when mixed with other substances.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Carlo13 great jersey! The color looked great, the material is made of light material, and the design is simple yet stylish. The fitting was also great from the sleeves, to the neck line, to the waist. Great jersey for running, working out, and of course, playing soccer. Highly recommended for everyone. April 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CHICAGORilla Shibuya Nights This jersey is AWESOME!!! No one else in the city has this so the exclusivity factor weighed heavy on this purchase.

Eight inmates of the William G. Truesdale Adult Detention Center have received certificates of achievement for passing their GED examinations.
On Thursday, Alexandria Sheriff Dana Lawhorne and his staff hosted a special ceremony to honor the inmates, and Education Coordinator Krista Sofonia presented Jose Cruz Argueta, Edsel Dugais, Erik Lacayo, Christopher Paulk and Sean Randolph with the honors.
The five wore caps and gowns and were cheered by visiting family members invited to attend the ceremony. Sofonia thanked GED volunteers, including Mary Jane Malone of Del Ray and AnnMarie Almaguer, a graduate student at Marymount University who completed an internship at the detention center this fall.
Joseph Weeks of ORS Interactive joined Lawhorne in congratulating Delane Galloway, Thomas Gupton and Darryl Wise for earning their ServSafe(r) Food Protection Manager Certification. The three inmates, who work in the detention center kitchen, now hold a locally and nationally recognized certification that will make them more competitive candidates for restaurant and food service employment opportunities.
The eight-hour program, administered by ORS Interactive of Falls Church, covered food safety regulations and concepts, including time and temperature control, preventing cross-contamination, cleaning and sanitizing, safe food preparation, receiving and storing food, and methods of thawing, cooking, cooling and reheating food.
The Alexandria Sheriff's Office began offering this type of training to its inmates for the first time this year.

9:15AM Court starting late again this morning as the judge and attorneys met in chambers having a discussion about again moving the witness stand.
Court is now in session.
Former Lakeshore executive and Detroit contractor Thomas Hardiman is again on the witness stand.
Two weeks ago, Hardiman testified for the government, admitting that he would give bribes and payments to Bobby Ferguson, Hardiman says he was extorted by Ferguson for the payments.
Hardiman is a key prosecution witnesses, as they try to make the case that Ferguson, Kilpatrick and Bernard Kilpatrick used Detroit's City Hall to run a criminal enterprise.
Hardiman says he had to pay off Ferguson and when he didn't his firm lost out on millions in city water department contracts to fix water mains, etc.
Hardiman has spent several days back on the stand to be questioned by Ferguson's attorney, Gerald Evelyn.
When Evelyn asks Hardiman direct questions, Hardiman often answers that he doesn't remember, perhaps giving the jury the idea that Hardiman has a selective memory.
This morning Gerald Evelyn began:
"We're going to try to finish this today if we can."
Thomas Hardiman: "Thank you."
Hardiman says he is here as a government witness because he was subpoenaed to testify. Evelyn says Hardiman is here because he received a deal from a government for his testimony.
Ferguson began calling Hardiman an "Idiot" in their dealings.
"We argued at times." Hardiman testified.
"Mr. Ferguson talked to you about getting paid for various things, yes?" Eveyln asks.
"You paid people when you had to, but you didn't always want to do it." Evelyn suggests.
"I don't remember, Mr. Evelyn." Hardiman says.
Evelyn says Ferguson mentored Hardiman's son, Johnny.
Hardiman says the two did talk.
The two often spoke about work ethic, Evelyn suggests and Hardiman agrees.
Hardiman agrees that Ferguson was hired by Lakeshore because of his experience and ability to "navigate" the jobs with the city.
Judge Edmunds is getting frustrated, directing Evelyn to re-direct his questions about Hardiman's testimony, not "re-plow" issues they've already covered.
Now, a pause in the action.

With a population of over 60000 people, Taunton is the largest town in all of Somerset. It is in the south western area of the county, and is steeped in 1000 years of military and religious history. Taunton has played a part in many war stories, from the War of the Roses to the English Civil War, and has been one of Somerset's most thriving communities for over 1000 years. It was first noted of in Saxon times; back then it was a small town yet it had established its own mint. In 904 its first monastery was built, and in 1366 Taunton had took over Somerton as the county town.
Geographically, it lies on the River Tone, in an area known as the Vale of Taunton, made of the Quantock, Brendon and Blackdown hills. Around Taunton are several nature reserves, home to all sorts of woodland wildlife. They include birds such as the kingfisher and grey heron, as well as otters and butterflies.
Religion has helped create some of the most significant buildings in Taunton. A majority of these are almshouses, set up by Christians to provide accommodation for those in need. St Margaret's almshouse is a notable one, at one time being a leper colony. Its two main churches are the parish church of St James and the parish church of St Mary Magdalene. Both have features made up from the 15th and 16th centuries, with St Mary Magdalene church's tower being the most prominent feature. St James' church can be seen from Taunton's cricket ground, the County Ground.
For those that love to shop, there are shops both in the centre and on the outskirts of the town. Riverside Retail Park is situated on the outskirts of the town, close to the M5, so is easily accessible. It also has a cinema, restaurant and bowling complex. The town centre has a mix of local and chain stores, with the County Walk being the main shopping hub.
Taunton also has some beautiful public parks. The most notable is Vivary Park, which is a massive 19 acres, and is near the centre of town. The Sherford stream, a tributary of the River Tone, flows through the park. It is not just an open space but also home to tennis courts, a war memorial, tennis courts, a golf course, playgrounds and a model railway track. It is especially popular during the Taunton Flower Show, which it plays host to once a year. The show attracts over 20000 people over its two day duration. With its many trees, rose gardens and thousands of flowers being planted every year, the park may thrive in the summer but remains a beautiful floral masterpiece all year round.
With all this on offer, the town has taken the role as the somewhat urban hub of Somerset, and is definitely a far cry away from the many traditional and historical surrounding villages.

Pockets full of bat guano, incomprehensible speech, and twisted hands making bizarre gestures—it sounds crazy, but in the Dungeons & Dragons game, these are the earmarks of power (as written in the 3.5 Premium Spell Compendium), for they are the signs of spellcasting.
As further written (back in the 1st Edition Dungeon Master's Guide), all magic and cleric spells are similar in that the word sounds, when combined into whatever patterns are applicable, are charged with energy from the Positive or Negative Material Plane. When uttered, these sounds cause the release of this energy, which in turn triggers a set reaction. The release of the energy contained in these words is what causes the spell to be forgotten or the writing to disappear from the surface upon which it is written.
Spells and spellcasters form a cornerstone of fantasy, and the Spell Compendium builds on that cornerstone by presenting over a thousand spells in one place.
We released the walkthrough map for White Plume Mountain—and in it, the hidden location for the fabled sword, Blackrazor. In today's preview, we look a powerful spell-version of the sword, along with spells for entire storms of blades!
With a thought and a word you complete the spell. Your weapons shift color, becoming blue for a moment, and feel lighter in your hands. An unseen force guides them, pulling them toward your enemies.
As you cast the spell, a large black tear in the universe appears in the form of a crackling ebony sword made of the material of the planes. The blade flies off at your mental command to destroy your foes.

NORMAN — Storms that take lives, cause damage and disrupt communities are never blessings. Post-storm spending, however, will help a community heal and get back on the path to normalcy.
General fund sales taxes are up in Moore and Norman, reflecting post-tornado sales of building materials and other replacement goods. Moore shows an 11.19 percent increase, and Norman is up 3.6 percent.
For the year, Moore is up more than 7 percent, and Norman is up almost 5 percent. Use taxes are up in both cities, too, with much of that tied to the purchase of building materials and construction supplies.
Federal and state grants are helping repair some of Moore's infrastructure, but city government's daily bills still must be paid from local sales taxes. The increase shows residents' confidence and resiliency.
