Following the third-best round in program history, the Valparaiso women's golf team sits just six shots back of the tournament lead at the Braun Intercollegiate, hosted by Evansville at Quail Crossing G.C. in Boonville, Ind.
The Crusaders posted a team score of 301 on Monday, trailing only a pair of rounds at the 2012 Dayton Fall Invitational in the program's record book. Valpo is just three shots back of second place and just six strokes back of team leader Lipscomb after the opening 18 holes.
A freshman and a senior tied for the Crusaders' best round on Monday, as Sibil Gill (Kokomo, Ind./Western) and Kelly Voigt (Palatine, Ill./Fremd) both shot rounds of 73 over the opening 18 holes to enter Tuesday tied for seventh place individually. Senior Michelle Kleckner (New Brighton, Minn./Irondale) opened the tournament with a 76 to sit in a tie for 25th after one round.
Freshman Sydney Shrum (Cloverdale, Ind./Cloverdale) posted a round of 79 to open play on Monday and is tied for 45th place. Senior Erika Pfaender (Pewaukee, Wis./Arrowhead) rounded out the Crusader team by opening the tournament with an 80, entering Tuesday tied for 51st position.
Valparaiso will wrap up the fall season on Tuesday as it closes out the Braun Intercollegiate.

Brett Rogers talks about how be went from a virtual unknown in the MMA world to headlining a show on CBS. Strikeforce "Fedor vs Rogers" is set for Nov 7th in Chicago.
Fighting Fedor: Brett Rogers "Its a Long Time Coming"
Gegard Mousasi vs. Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou and Fabricio Werdum vs. Antonio Silva scheduled for Strikeforce November 7th
Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou has now been named as Gegard Mousasi's opponent for his previously reported non-title fight at November 7th's "Strikeforce: Emelianenko vs. Rogers" event. MMAFanhouse reports that the contest has been submitted to Illinois' athletic commission, along with the previously reported Fabricio Werdum vs. Antonio Silva contest.
he's not the one to take fedor down
lol just imagine if Rogers beats Fedor, LMAO!!!! Unlikely, but it would be the funniest thing to happen in MMA….
I'm going for bret but, i see fedor winning with his famous armbar
rogers played football and basketball so he's got to know how important watching film is. i don't buy it i think he's just trying to act like he doesn't care. if he's betting on a one punch ko on fedor he's dreaming.
well Fedor did get rocked by Fujita and Fujita was not even top 10. But I'm sure Fedor has did his homework and will come in with a good game plan. Fedor also coudnt finish a overrated Cro cop. So is this Fedor's toughest challenge yet????? what do you guys think
jay nooo this isnt fedors toughest challenge, cro cop was not over rated when he faught fedor he was at the top of his game and that was a good cro cop and it dosnt matter if fujita rocked fedor in this so called top 10 matt sera knocked gsp out and he aint a top 10 its fighting it happens sometimes but as for is brett fedors toughest challenge no way, fedor will finish him in round 1….. people all of a sudden think cos fedor dint sighn with ufc that he is mediocre.. look at his record no matter if ur great like silva or gsp u loose sometimes to shit fighters fedor has not and this guy rodgers is just not the 1 to do it
Well you agree with me that Arlovski showed some holes in fedor's game Arlovski was doing good with his boxing and footwork it seemed like fedor was confused or something. BUT fedor knocked his ass out cold. Your right Fedor is gonna be to quick and smart for Rogers. I was just thinking the unthinkabale you know.
fedor is going to fight brett rogers like he fought tim sylvia. mark my words. fedor is very fast, especially those hands. he's going to throw like 2 punches and then take rogers down. GnP or armbar.
yea i agree jay that aa showed holes in fedors game but rogers dosnt have much skill he just has big bombs i see submission first round
if brett thinks it's his strategy to imagine fedor as somebody else across the ring, he's got another thing coming. brett NEEDS to understand that he is fighting fedor. i call fedor by armbar or GnP.
Well guys be honest how mnay of you thought that rogers was going to knockout Arlovski. You all Know what arlovski is capable of. Be honest!
yea but AA has a glas jaw in a big way and what alot of people dont realise is that fedor is one of the smartest fighters in the game brett cant slip up once with fedor if he makes a mistake fedor will end it and i cant see brett not making a mistake he's a slopy powerfull fighter i think he is taylor made for fedor

Pulitzer Prize-winning author James M. McPherson has a new book out entitled This Mighty Scourge: Perspectives on the Civil War which is a collection of essays on topics as disparate as the average soldier's avid love of newspapers to the postwar creation of the mystique of a Lost Cause in the South. McPherson was kind enough to answer a few questions about his new book for us. Come back tomorrow to read an original essay by McPherson.
OUP: What first drew you to the study of the Civil War?
James M. McPherson: I was drawn to the study of the Civil War during my years in graduate school at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore (1958-1962). These years coincided with the early days of the civil rights movement, which was active in Baltimore, a border city. Along with other graduate students, I participated in sit-ins and picketing of segregated restaurants, movie theaters, and other facilities. Through these activities, and through news about civil rights activities in the South, I became impressed by the parallels between the times in which I was living and events of exactly 100 years earlier: conflict between North and South, Southern politicians vowing massive resistance to national law, federal troops being sent into the South to enforce national laws, violence in the South, Martin Luther King asking President Kennedy to issue a new Emancipation Proclamation on the 100th anniversary of the original, and so on. I decided to study the historical roots of these events in my own time, so I did my doctoral dissertation on the abolitionists, in the 1860s, who were the civil rights activists of their time and whose crusade for "Freedom Now" and equal civil and political rights for freed slaves anticipated the goals of the 1960s. That dissertation became my first book, The Struggle for Equality, and from that initial focus on activist reformers my interests gradually broadened to the political and military dimensions of the era of war and reconstruction, which have been the main focus of my work during the last 25 years.
OUP: What are the hot topics in Civil War scholarship right now?
McPherson: The hottest topics in Civil War scholarship now are encompassed by the rubric of "social history"–the home front, the impact of the war on families, women's activities in behalf of the war effort, community studies, and the like. These will never surpass biographies of generals and narratives of military campaigns and battles in popularity, but they have made important contributions to our understanding of what Lincoln called "a people's war."
OUP: This year is the bicentennial celebration of Lincoln, what do you think these celebrations should focus on?
McPherson: The bicentennial celebrations should focus, I think, on two major themes: 1) the abolition of slavery and Lincoln's role in it; 2) presidential leadership in a time of crisis.
OUP: Which essay in this collection is your personal favorite? Why?
McPherson: My favorite is the final one, on Lincoln's invention of presidential war powers derived from the commander in chief clause of the Constitution, which he invoked for any and every action necessary to win the war–including the Emancipation Proclamation on a positive side, and the suppression of the civil liberties of those who opposed the war and (in some cases) tried to undermine the war effort, which is in some ways a more negative legacy of Lincoln's use of the war powers.
OUP: In the last essay the title, "As Commander-in-Chief I Have a Right to Take Any Measure Which May Best Subdue the Enemy, " comes from a Lincoln quote rationalizing the expanded power of the executive branch during the Civil War. Do you think similar expanded powers should be granted to the executive branch today in times of emergency?
McPherson: Whether similar powers should be granted to the Executive in times of emergency today as Lincoln appropriated in the crisis of civil war depends on the extent and degree of the emergency. Lincoln himself may have gone a little too far on some occasions, and I definitely think the current president has claimed and exercised powers that go beyond what is necessary to deal with the war on terror.
OUP: You write in "Escape and Revolt in Black and White" that some historians consider John Brown a terrorist. What is your personal opinion?
McPherson: I tend to look upon John Brown more as a freedom fighter than as a terrorist, recognizing however, that there is sometimes a thin to non-existent line between them. John Brown's goals were noble, but his means were not always praiseworthy.
OUP: You write in "Long-Legged Yankee Lies" that "If the Confederacy had raised proportionately as many soldiers as the postwar South raised monuments, it might not have succumbed to "overwhelming numbers." Do you think the south will continue to honor its veterans with as much vigor in this century?
McPherson: I think the "Lost Cause" mentality among many white Southerners, who honor their Confederate ancestors and glorify the "noble defeat" of the Confederate cause will persist for many decades, though I am not prepared to predict that it will be as strong at the end of the 21st century as it is at its beginning.
OUP: What question did we forget to ask? What else would you like our readers to know?
McPherson: One theme that may not emerge strongly in the book, but is certainly implicit even when it is not explicit, is that the two main achievements of the Civil War, the preservation of the United States as one nation, indivisible, and the abolition of slavery, could not have succeeded without the effective application of overwhelming military power and eventual success. This is one case where a desirable outcome could only have been achieved at the barrel of a gun.
OUP: What is your favorite book?
McPherson: My favorite book is Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn, which deals with issues connected with the Civil War more profoundly than appears on a first reading.
2 Responses to "A Few Questions For James McPherson"
Season Premier
It's fall 2007 and time again for another episode of "Let's Kick the Southerners: or, Did I Mention I Was Right the First Time?" based on the book This Mighty Scourge.
Forget that the northern slave traders made a killing off the slave trade without any scruples or ethical concerns. Forget that northern soldiers didn't want to fight alongside their black compatriots. Forget that the worst race riots in our nation's history were in the north. Forget that Southern women held "The Cause" in higher regard than the lives of their own sons. Forget that the war was one of attrition and superior northern technology.
Forget all these things as northern historians jockey for position to slam the South into submission once again. The same cast of characters and plots return for another fun-filled season of Southern stupidity and bigotry. Directed by Ken Burns.
You forget one thing Sandy. McPherson is a born and bred Yankee with no love in his heart for the South. He has never endured the bigotry those of us from the Southlands endure virtually everyday and seems to wish upon us eternal shame over an honorable act that was in every way legal under international law both then and actually now. Lord help me, I'm a white male from the South whose family has been in the South since we came to North America. I'm not only satan, I'm his father in McPherson's eyes. I suppose that it would be too much for Mr. McPherson to look just a wee bit further back in time to when a group of British colonies incited insurrection against a government which waged war against them…no wait, I forgot that "might makes right" and since the British pulled out of the colonies that was fine. The resulting winner takes all and they certainly took and took and took from the South, and truly ignorant, hate filled men like McPherson continue the grand Yankee tradition of grinding us under the heal of, in many cases, fabricated history.
I honestly expect nothing of his ilk and get less.

Unemployment Numbers are a Warning to Washington to Act on Jobs
Statement from Robert Borosage of the Campaign for America's Future
WASHINGTON - January 4 - Robert Borosage, co-director of the Campaign for America's Future said that the December Unemployment Report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics this morning, which shows unemployment at 7.8 percent with 155,000 jobs created last month, is a warning to Washington to turn back to job creation and away from deficit reduction measures that are likely to slow the economy.
Statement from Robert Borosage: "The December Jobs Report is a warning to Washington: This economy is growing – with 155,000 new jobs and 7.8 percent unemployment. But that's barely enough to cover the new workers coming in to the workforce.
"Now every working American will face an increase in their payroll taxes. Spending at the Federal level will continue to slow. With the winding down of the Recovery Act and the cuts imposed by the last debt ceiling deal, Congress and the President should stop focusing on deficits and start working to create jobs and get Americans back to work.
"The deficit is already declining in relation to the economy faster than any time since the demobilization at the end of WWII. Tax hikes and spending cuts will cost jobs. If growth slows, the pace of deficit reduction will slow. If the economy turns back to recession, deficits are likely to rise. The first rule of Congress should be to do no harm.
"I urge Congress to repeal the sequester and lift the debt ceiling. Republicans in Congress are threatening to not pay the bills for the money they already spent -- creating another default crisis. Republicans in Congress are actually going to the mat for the right to kill our nation's credit. That won't lead to new jobs. It will hurt the economy.
"We need the President and Democrats to introduce and fight for an ambitious plan to put Americans back to work starting with rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges and to create more jobs by putting money in working families' pockets."

I cover fiscal policy, macro, banking, healthcare, etc.
Dear Remaining Members of the Barclays Board,
Heard you're having some senior personnel problems. The Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, and the Chief Operating Officer have all resigned.
Gee, who's next?
Trust you aren't abandoning ship too. If so, hold off till you've finished my letter.
First, my sympathies. Terrible that you've lost these amazingly talented people.
Yes, they and the execs they replaced, somehow missed, ignored, abetted, or directed Barclays' decision to rig Libor over, well, a long time. And yes, you just paid an almost half-billion dollar fine for their lapses. But, hey, it could have been worse.
Sorry too that the bank's credit rating has been lowered. Ya think Moody's and S&P are piling on?
The good news is that maybe, just maybe, you can hire new execs that are pretty good for a whole lot less.
Heard you were paying Bob north of $10 million a year to run the shop. Big number, but he surely deserved every penny.
Ok, he's not the best note taker and doesn't communicate all that clearly with regulators and gets sick when he reads emails from traders with bad culture, but hey.
On the other hand, if he were $10+ million good, y'd think he wouldn't have had to resign. Y'd think that he'd have figured out how to run things in the last couple of years so as not to have had to resign this year.
Hey, what do I know. I got to give it to Bob, though. He gives good testimony. Virtually turned his appearance before Parliament into a Barclays' pep rally.
So Bob will be a tough act to follow. But let me blurt out what I really want to say.
I'm willing to do Bob's CEO job for just $1 million a year. That's $1 million straight — no bonuses and no parachutes if I have to resign. I don't see why I should expect a bonus for doing my job, and, frankly, $1 million is a lot of money.
and that, Mr Kotlikoff, is exactly why someone like yourself will never be qualified to run a firm like Barclays
When elites are held in check, typically by effective legal mechanisms, everyone else in society does much better and sustained economic growth becomes possible. But powerful people – kings, barons, industrialists, bankers – work long and hard to relax the constraints on their actions. And when they succeed, the effects are not just redistribution toward themselves but also an undermining of economic growth and often a tearing at the fabric of society.
Please sign the petition to the U.S. Senate Banking and House Financial Services Committee asking for improved oversight of federal banking and market regulators that have proven ineffective at not only detecting inappropriate behavior in the capital markets, but also preventing such behavior from hindering job creation and economic growth.
Interesting view Larry. On a related note, Jeff Anderson, Associate Dean of Leadership Development at Chicago Booth, shares his views on whether experience should outweigh character when looking to hire a new leader.

Amateur Radio forums, now with tech support! (I hope)
Have you ever had that question, the one that you just know someone else has solved, but you cannot figure out the right words to put into the query so that Google will spit back the right answer? Or worse, you just know deep down inside that someone has not only wrestled with the problem, but solved it and they just never got around to writing up the solution and posting it somewhere for everyone to see?
If, like me, you hate documentation, especially when it comes to resolving your own problems, this fast becomes a real issue. And while I certainly do not have a silver bullet that will help you with your documentation issues, where it comes to matters of Amateur Radio and Linux, I might be able to provide you with a sounding board.
A couple of days ago, I received a Letter to the Editor with just such a question. The type that needs an answer, but that I certainly could not answer. So I created a forum post with the question and I now ask for your help! And I promise I will only ask once! From here on, you should check out the virtual ham shack postings!
Got a question? Got an answer? Give and give back! We are all in this together!
UPDATE: And that is how it works! Thanks to Russ, K5TUX for posting a possible answer (and all the great stuff he and Richard do at Linux in the Hamshack!).

Packet Radio
What programs will work in Ubuntu for Packet Radio? I am using WinPack in Windows.

If you ever find out. Please let me know. I am having the same problem. I use to use Multipsk on windows, but now with this "ol so great windows 7" It will not even see the sound card. If I hear something I'll let you know.
Linux amateur radio software
I have a question about Linux amateur radio programs? Some of them state that they emulate the soundcard into being a modem. Is that an entirely true statement or does one still have to use a TNC/Interface?
Sounds and looks great
let me know if I can be of any help in any of it

Greetings all hams and possibly soon to be hams. I have lots of questions so I will be asking them in the days to go by. Will not have much time over the next several days as my MOM just got out of the hospital and I have to tend to her.
I have two questions for now. Is there anyone knowledgeable who could help this disabled veteran with setting up a VHF Packet Station using VoIP using a modest set up with a laptop and an HT? Also does any one know if there is a Linux program out there that is free and works to send CW from a laptop computer keyboard and receive via a laptop computer, XCVR, and interface?
That is all for now. 73's de KB2YUI
Good questions!
I will pull these out and start a new thread if you would like. Thanks for asking! I would suggest you look at Asterisk as the VoIP engine with Xchat (I think) as a good softphone solution. I will dig a bit more though and see what else I can find.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Police throughout the metro have been investigating a spat of thefts in recent weeks involving air conditioners. On Monday, Omaha police finally reported some success. A suspect was arrested after allegedly being caught in the act.
Someone called police at 5:28 a.m. Monday to say two people were on top of the Hope Center for Children at 20th & Burdette. When officers arrived, they found one person on the roof and noticed that several air conditioning units were damaged or dismantled.
The man, identified as 35-year old Bryan Grutel, was booked for burglary and possession of burglary tools. The second person has not been located.

So, cellphone user, what do you mostly use your phone for?
If you answered "talking to people," then you're in the minority.
Some time back in 2009, the amount of data used for phone calls on cell networks was surpassed by the amount of data used for things such as streaming radio and video, text messaging, email and other digital services.
That's why you don't see advertising ballyhooing how many "minutes" you can get on a cell plan any more. Talking _ minutes, if you will _ is not as important as it used to be.
What is important now is the amount of data you can use each month.
Which brings me to the point of this column.
And my rant.
Be aware of how much data you use. It matters now.
The big cell carriers have already ditched the "unlimited" data plans like hot potatoes. Once the first one did it, the rest of them didn't take long to follow. If you're not already grandfathered in, phoney don't play that game.
There's only one which still offers unlimited data, T-Mobile, and it may well be eaten up by AT&T soon, if the carriers get their way.
Surprisingly, the government has decided that it may not be in the interests of consumers for that game to play out. Imagine that. The cellphone industry folks trying to eliminate competition. They couldn't be doing that, could they?
So, for quite a while now cellphone companies have been selling devices that will do all kinds of nifty things using the Internet, for prices which are relatively cheap considering the functionality.
They've been getting everyone used to having unlimited data plans, or at least cheaper data plans, so that everyone would develop the habit of using data on their devices more or less with impunity.
Now, they're saying the party's over. We're going to charge you by the amount of data you use. And we're setting higher minimums for data plans, too. No more of this cheap stuff. Give us your dough.
It almost seems like some kind of a bait-and-switch tactic, or if not that, like a drug dealer announcing the end of the free samples.
Now that they have you, they're going to begin the squeezing. You're going to have a limit on the amount of kilo-mega-giga-bytes you can use, before they assess an overage charge. Kind of like missing your payment on a credit card and getting hit with a big fee.
Be mindful of how much data you're using. Want to listen to Pandora? Or stream a movie to your TV from your phone? Watch YouTube videos? All these things use lots of data.
Be especially careful if you use your phone as a wireless access point for a computer, this can use up data like crazy. Depending on what you download, files can be multi-gigabyte size very easily. You can use up a whole month's worth of cell data in one sitting, no problem.
I'm trying to drive home the point that smartphone users have to become more careful. Call it safe smartphoning if you will. Like so many other things in the world, things aren't always as they seem. Just be aware of what you, and your kids if you have them on a family plan, are doing.
The cell companies are beginning to play hardball. So we have to get a good mitt to catch what they throw at us.

By GREG JORDAN
Bluefield Daily Telegraph
Highway and emergency service personnel on both sides of the West Virginia/Virginia state line started re-evaluating communications among themselves after a major snow storm Jan. 17 snarled traffic and closed highways in both states.
Highways were closed as the storm dumped heavy, wet snow that made travel dangerous. The decision to close certain stretches of an interstate highway is often made at local levels, highway department representatives in both Virginia and West Virginia said.
"Many times, the state police will make the determination and VDOT will follow their recommendation," said Michelle Earl, a spokesperson for VDOT. "We work in conjunction with the state police and other emergency agencies."
VDOT would be responsible for implementing the closure if the Virginia State Police decided that a highway had to be shut down, Earl said.
In West Virginia, the decision whether to close a highway is dependent on the agencies involved and the situation, said Brent Walker, director of communications for the West Virginia Department of Transportation.
"If there is a fire or some hazardous material, a fire chief could shut down a road," Walker said.
In situations such as the Jan. 17 snowstorm, the decision is part of a wider discussion including people such as the secretary of transpiration, emergency service personnel and the superintendent of the state police, Walker said.
Problems with communications during the Jan. 17 snowstorm led to confusion when sections of Interstate 77 south of the East River Mountain Tunnel were closed. Troopers with the West Virginia and Virginia state police had to share information to determine what had been closed.
"They lost their interstates on the other side of the tunnel," said General Manager Greg Barr of the West Virginia Turnpike Authority. "I guess the storm hit even harder down there. We got word that they would be permanently closed through the night at 11:30 p.m. and would be closed until 9:30 (a.m.) We kept trying to reach the numbers for emergencies for Virginia and we couldn't get through."
The turnpike authority later contacted Jimmy Gianato with Homeland Security in West Virginia, and he contacted his counterpart in Virginia, Barr said.
"Their homeland security department said they might get something open by midnight or it might be several hours," Barr recalled. "There was no certainty when it might open."
The day after the storm, the turnpike's director of operations talked with highway officials in Virginia and compiled a list of all active phone numbers and shared them with the West Virginia Department the Transportation, Barr said. The goal was to get phone numbers that would reach Virginia officials at any time and not just office hours.
"It seems like in a situation like that (storm), the hardest thing is trying to find the one person who knows what's going on," he said.
When a snowstorm is underway, situations can change quickly. Everything may be going well with snow plows clearing the highways and applying salt, but a crash can suddenly change the situation. Stalled and wrecked vehicles block the roadways and keep snowplows from clearing the highway.
"Two tractor-trailer wrecks and boom, everything's closed," Barr said. "It's not like you're going to know what's happening every minute...in the world there are things that change plans."
Michelle Earl said VDOT has been working on communications issues since the Jan. 17 storm. There had been changes at VDOT during the past three years, and not all of those changes were shared with transportation officials in West Virginia.
"There's always a learning curve with every incident you go through, and just like any other incident, we realized the need to update some of our information between states," Earl said.
Another difficulty encountered during the storm was informing the public about the highway closures. Highway departments increasingly use social media such as Facebook and Twitter to pass updates to the public. In West Virginia, the Twitter address for the department of highways is @wv511, Walker said. The Facebook address is wvdot.
In Virginia, people are urged to use 511Virginia during a storm, Earl said. This includes calling 511 or 1-800-367-7623. Connections to VDOT on Twitter and Facebook are available on Virginia Department of Transportation website, www.virginiadot.org.
Communication was a problem on the local level as well. In one case, travelers on Route 52 going past Bluefield State College toward Brushfork got to the top of the hill only to learn from fire fighters the highway had been closed. Tim Farley, director of emergency management for Mercer County, said law enforcement agencies had requested traffic control assistance from local fire departments.
Officers were trying to handle numerous wrecks. Farley said he did not know which law enforcement agency or agencies made the request.
"I know law enforcement was covered up and most were working around I-77, Route 460 and John Nash Boulevard," he said.
One way residents can help during a storm is to avoid travel if at all possible. Wrecked and stranded vehicles had to the road hazards and make plowing the snow away more difficult.
"People need to stay off the thoroughfare, the main roads," Farley said.
Many of the motorists who got into trouble during the storm were not local residents. One North Carolina resident trying to reach Princeton relied on a GPS navigator for directions and came to a stop five miles up Halls Ridge Road.
"People unfamiliar with the country roads need to stay off them," Farley said. "Most of the time, they don't have vehicles for country roads, and they don't have chains or survival gear."

Several school administrators and Long Island Republican Assembly members are planning a rally in Huntington Monday to urge changes in how school aid is distributed.
Long Island representatives and educators have long complained that the region pays a disproportionate share of taxes compared to what it gets back in state aid.
The lineup of educators expected to attend includes leaders from both counties, among them James McKenna, president of the Suffolk School Superintendents Association, James March, president of the Nassau-Suffolk School Boards Association, Gary Bixhorn, chief operating officer of Eastern Suffolk BOCES, Dr. David Bennardo, superintendent of the South Huntington school district, and the superintendents from Sachem and Connequot.
The Assembly members include Chad Lupinacci, a former member of the South Huntington school board who took office in January, pledging to help school districts.
The campaign to change the aid system includes an online petition and a Youtube video.
The petition says that "under Gov. Cuomo's budget, Long Island schools would only receive $66 per student in new aid, far below the statewide average of $119 and about half of the New York City average of $129 per student."
Also expected at the rally are Assembs. Edward Ra, R-Franklin Square, Brian Curran, R-Lynbrook, Andrew Raia, R-East Northport, Michael Fitzpatrick, R-Smithtown, Al Graf, R-Holbrook, Andrew Gabarino, R-Sayville, Joseph Saladino, R-Massapequa, Michael Montesano, R-Glen Head and Daniel Losquadro, R-Shoreham.
The rally is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Monday at Whitman High School. Parents, PTA members and members of the South Huntington school board are also expected to attend.

The story of Yiddish in the former Soviet Union is one of hope, pain, and creativity. A bilingual examination of the language's checkered history from 1917 to the present can now be found in Yiddish in the Soviet Union (Project Judaica, 2009), a collection of nineteen studies in Russian and Yiddish by leading scholars from Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Israel, and the United States.
The foremost center for the study of Yiddish language and culture in the Former Soviet Union (FSU), Project Judaica is the groundbreaking joint program between The Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS) in the United States and the Russian State University for the Humanities (RSUH) in Moscow. Created in 1991, its principal goals are to train a generation of indigenous Russian scholars of Judaica, reestablish Jewish studies as a legitimate area of university study, foster the revival of Jewish life in Russia, and discover and describe all Jewish-related materials held in the archives of the FSU. To date, the project has graduated 100 scholars who have gone on to play key roles in the revival of Jewish life in the FSU as educators, journalists, professors, and directors of Jewish institutions.
Yiddish was initially recognized after the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution as the official language of the Jewish minority, and Yiddish literature, theater, and education flourished from 1917 through 1937 under state sponsorship and control. Following the Holocaust, a state campaign to liquidate Yiddish culture and its creative elite culminated in the murder of major Soviet Yiddish writers in 1952. A modest rehabilitation of Yiddish culture took place during the early 1960s, and the language remained a potent emotional symbol for many Soviet Jews long after they had lost fluency. Amateur Yiddish theater companies enjoyed considerable success, and more than 250 Yiddish books were published between 1960 and the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. Today, Yiddish speech and folklore are preserved by post-Soviet Jews, particularly in central and Western Ukraine.
Among other areas, Yiddish in the Soviet Union looks at Yiddish literature and drama; education, scholarship, and cultural life; Soviet Yiddish theater in the post-Stalin era; and folklore and ethnography. It was coedited by Dr. David E. Fishman, professor of Jewish History at JTS and director of Project Judaica; Maria Kaspina, associate director of the Center for Biblical and Jewish Studies at RSUH; and Leonid Katsis, professor of Russian-Jewish Studies at RSUH.
Project Judaica also maintains an active publications program of textbooks, monographs, a journal, and the Jewish Archival Survey. To obtain a copy of Yiddish in the Soviet Union or for further information about Project Judaica, contact the RSUH Center for Biblical and Jewish Studies in Moscow at 7-495-250-6470 or Dr. Fishman in New York City at (212) 678-8001.

SALISBURY — With an impending coastal storm ready to bear down on the Northeast, a mandatory evacuation for all oceanfront properties on Salisbury Beach has been issued beginning tonight through Friday evening, according to Emergency Management Director Bob Cook.
Properties subject to the evacuation are in the areas of North End Boulevard — especially in the 400 block — and along Atlantic and Central avenues.
A Code Red evacuation alert will go out beach-wide to residents tonight at 6.
Salisbury, with the assistance of the Red Cross, is opening an emergency shelter for affected residents beginning at 8 tonight at the Hilton Senior Center on Route 1 next to the fire station.
The shelter will be open during the time of mandatory evacuation. Cook said residents are advised to bring with them to the shelter whatever they may need to be comfortable, Cook said.
Officials took action in light of the weather forecast, which indicate this storm could cause more coastal flooding and damage than in previous storms recently. Thirty-foot waves are possible, Cook said, and that's on top of projected storm surges.
No evacuation has been ordered yet on Plum Island. Newbury Selectman Joe Story said Plum Island residents will be notified by a broadcast phone alert should officials believe evacuation there is required.
The Daily News will be publishing a complete report on the approaching storm and public safety measures in Thursday's paper.

The Daily Star
---- — With Hurricane Sandy pointed to the Northeast and the Gilboa Dam filled to the brim, officials began draining some water from the 86-year-old reservoir Friday, sending it to the Shandaken Tunnel in Greene County. The release was one of a series of precautionary moves aimed at keeping damage from Sandy at a minimum — and forestalling the kind of floods that devastated Schoharie County
14 months ago.
The National Weather Service's updated forecast for the region said that "the main impacts of this storm will be felt later Monday into Wednesday." The agency also cautioned that "significant uncertainty still exists with the track of this system."
Meanwhile, NYSEG urged its customers to stock up on batteries and to keep flashlights on hand in the event of power outages.
Officials also suggested that residents to keep their cell phones charged.
The utility urged customers to avoid any downed power lines — even those that appear to be dead. It also recommended caution for those who find themselves operating gas-powered generators, saying they should only be used in well-ventilated areas and never in a garage.
To report electrical emergencies, NYSEG said its customers should call 1-800-572-1131. The emergency number for reporting natural gas problems to NYSEG is 1-800-572-1121.
National Grid said its customers could receive text message alerts about any service interruptions and restorations as a result of Hurricane Sandy. To get the alerts, customers should text the word "STORM" to 64743 (that spells NGRID) — and then follow prompts in return texts to sign up. Regular text-message charges apply, the utility noted.
Email alerts are also available to customers who create an online profile from National Grid's web site — www.nationalgridus.com
The telephone number for reporting outages to National Grid is 1-800-867-5222.
In Schoharie County — where several communities are still recovering from the damage inflicted last year by Hurricane Irene — Harold Vroman, the chairman of the Board of Supervisors, said he was pleased that New York City officials acceded to requests to begin releasing water from the Gilboa Dam.
That dam, holding 18 billion gallons of water, is part of New York City's water system.
"We're getting prepared in case we get flooding here," Vroman. "The release of the water today will alleviate some of the problem, because the GIlboa Dam is filled right now. It's actually spilling over at the one notch a little bit. They're not gong to be able to get it down much because, with the rain we have had the last couple of weeks, there is a lot of water coming in."
The Shandaken Reservoir, Vroman noted, was at 78 percent capacity when the water releases began.
"They have room there," he said of the Shandaken. "And we're hoping this helps a little bit. But as you know as well as I do that if you get a lot of rain you are still going to get flooding."
The possibility of flooding was also a top concern for Otsego County Soil and Water Conservation District manager Scott Fickbohm.
Given the pounding local streams took from storms in 2006 and again last year, he said, "The streams are basically unstable."
"They can't handle this amount of water in this short period of time," Fickbohm said. "The only thing for them to do is move — migrate. You end up having culverts getting blocked up and houses imperiled. The streams evolve over time. Their shape reflects the amount of rain they have been receiving from these frequent and intense storms. It's almost like a changing landscape."
Gov. Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency Friday for all of New York's counties and mobilized the state's emergency preparedness centers. Meanwhile, state officials canceled plans for a conference on emergency preparedness in Albany next week.
State officials also said the water level at the Blenheim-Gilboa Pumped Storage Power Project's lower reservoir on the Schoharie Creek has been reduced to the minimum depth as a precaution against flooding. The New York Power Authority also has lowered the level of the Hinckley Reservoir, where the agency operates a small hydroelectric facility, to create additional storage capacity.
As for the Gilboa Dam, officials said the state Department of Environmental Conservation authorized an emergency draw-down of the Schoharie Reservoir at a rate of approximately 600 million gallons per day. Lowering the water level can reduce the amount of water that may spill over the top of the dam and flow downstream into Schoharie Creek.
Officials said the release will help create a "void space" in the Schoharie Reservoir. Water drained from the Schoharie is diverted through the Shandaken Tunnel to Esopus Creek then into Ashokan Reservoir.
The DEC also authorized releases from the Ashokan Reservoir at a rate of 600 million gallons per day to reduce peak storm flows by maximizing the use of reservoir storage, officials said. The releases will end with the onset of storm precipitation, or if any flood risk arises based on stream gauge monitoring, the state agency reported.

Meet The 11 Super Rich Donors Who Are Bankrolling The GOP Race
Behind every 2012 presidential candidate, there is a millionaire or billionaire holding the purse strings to the campaign's war chest.
Relaxation of campaign finance laws has given rise to a new class of super-donors who are now acting as kingmakers in this year's presidential election.
It's an elite club that includes Wall Street titans, Texas oil tycoons, billionaire tech execs, and an outspoken evangelical mutual fund manager, all of whom have given $1 million or more to support Republican SuperPACs. According to the Washington Post, these sugar daddies have forked over a combined $54 million so far this election cycle, helping bankroll an onslaught of negative attacks that have made this year's Republican primary one of bloodiest in recent memory.
Needless to say, these emergent power players now wield an outsized influence over presidential politics. Their ability to tap into vast fortunes — and their willingness to do it over and over again — is reshaping campaign finance, and helping to decide who stays and who goes in the 2012 race.
We've combed through federal finance reports and this AP analysis to find the biggest — and most interesting — benefactors for each of the candidates.
