On November 5, 1913, the Los Angeles Aqueduct began bringing water to the city. 100 years later, KCET is looking at what has happened, what it means, and more across its website. See more stories here.
Artbound's one-hour special looks at Lauren Bon and the Metabolic Studio's "AgH2O" project which connects the elements mined from the Owens Valley, silver and water, to the emergence of the film industry. Silver mined from the Owens Valley was shipped to Rochester, New York, where it was used to make film. That film was then shipped back to Hollywood where films where made -- often shot on locations where the silver itself was from.
In this episode, Artbound focuses on the Optics Division of the Metabolic Studio. The Optics Division is on a quest for the perfect indexical image, an image not just of the valley but made from the valley. The team has been working on all aspects of production including the camera(s), the film stock, the developers and fixatives, all sourced from the dry lake bed.
Bon and The Optics Division's tools include the "Liminal Camera," a portable camera and darkroom housed in a shipping container. The team can produce large black and white images matching the size of the container itself in a few hours.
The special explores other tools that have been developed by the Optics Division including the "Silo Camera" located in a one hundred foot silo on the edge of the Owens Dry Lake Bed and Mine Camera. The rig is being used to see the mine shaft, unused for nearly 100 years, that provided the silver for the pioneering film industry.
More about the "AgH2O" project and the 100th anniversary of the Los Angeles Aqueduct:
AgH2O: Silver, Water, and Pinhole Camera in a Silo
Lauren Bon's "Liminal Camera," comprised of a repurposed shipping container mounted on the back of a truck, captures the dessicated Owens Lake in large-scale photographs.
Liminal Elements: A Shipping Container Becomes a Camera Obscura
The "Liminal Camera," housed in a traveling shipping container, is both a one-of-a-kind camera and serves as its own photo processing center and storage facility.
De-silvering the Mirror: Mining for Film in the Owens Valley
It is a little-known fact that some of the silver and chemicals to produce the films that made Hollywood the global center of the movie industry were extracted from the Owens Valley.
One Hundred Mules: Tracing L.A. Aqueduct with Lauren Bon
Lone Pine film historian Christopher Langley discusses working with Lauren Bon and the Metabolic Studio on the project AgH20.
Water, Pipeline, and 100 Mules
Lauren Bon and the Metabolic Studio will perform "One Hundred Mules Walking the Los Angeles Aqueduct," a commemorative artist action to connect Los Angeles to its water supply.
There It Is. Take It: 100 Years of the Los Angeles Aqueduct
William Mulholland gave L.A. water and a motto to live by. David Ulin ruminates on the lifeblood of California.
AgH20 is a 240-mile work that aims at reconnecting Los Angeles with the elements that made it viable historically: silver and water, both mined from the mountains of the Owens Valley.

For every secret
Detective Lindsay Boxer's long-awaited wedding celebration becomes a distant memory when she is called to investigate a horrendous crime a badly injured teenage girl is left for dead, and her newborn baby is nowhere to be found. Lindsay discovers that not only is there no trace of the criminals--but that the victim may be keeping secrets as well.
For every lie
At the same time, Assistant District Attorney Yuki Castellano is prosecuting the biggest case of her life--a woman who has been accused of murdering her husband in front of her two young children. Yuki's career rests on a guilty verdict, so when Lindsay finds evidence that could save the defendant, she is forced to choose. Should she trust her best friend or follow her instinct?
There's a different way to die
Lindsay's every move is watched by her new boss, Lieutenant Jackson Brady, and when the pressure to find the baby begins interfering with her new marriage to Joe, she wonders if she'll ever be able to start a family. With James Patterson's white-hot speed and unquenchable action, 10th Anniversary is the most deliciously chilling Women's Murder Club book ever.

Police arrested two area men in separate incidents after the storm when they blew through checkpoints at Butler Boulevard and Bay Avenue, Detective Sgt. James J. Smith said.
In one incident, Sgt. Peter LaRocca arrested Noah Trengrove, 22, Route 9, Bayville, at 10:36 p.m. on Nov. 10.
Trengrove sped through a checkpoint set up in a storm-damaged section of Butler Boulevard and Bayview Avenue at a high rate of speed, Smith said.
"He nearly struck Officer Christoper Shick," Smith said. "He did not get hit. He's fine."
Trengrove was charged with reckless driving and driving while under the influence, he said.
In the second incident, police arrested Joseph Schneider, 47, Whiting, at 12:18 a.m. on Nov. 7, after he refused to stop at the same checkpoint on Butler Boulevard and Bayview Avenue, Smith said.
Patrolman Christopher Shick and Patrolman David Moody were at the checkpoint at the time of the incident.
The officers were able to stop Schneider on Butler Boulevard, where they determined he was intoxicated.
Schneider was charged with driving while under the influence and reckless driving, Smith said.

We give you the unique opportunity to train in a relaxed learning environment and provide the best equipment, training and guidance you need for learning to fly and progress safely and enjoyably in this sport. Our training season at Kamshet goes on for 8 long months, from October to June.
The hardest skill to learn is to confidently, and skillfully, inflate the glider and this skill is easily achieved through a program especially designed by us. Take offs, flights and landings are easily learnt on small training slopes, which allows you to build in confidence every hour of your training.
By day 2 you begin doing small solo flights or bunny hops on the training slopes under the careful guidance of the training team.
Day 3 is reserved for solo flying. At take off you strap on your equipment and do your safety checks under the watchful eye of your instructor. He will fix a radio onto your shoulder strap and check and then assist you to inflate your wing. A few steps forward and you will be airborne.
Floating gently through the air with the wind in your face and the rainbow colored wing gently rustling above, you get the idea of how it feels to fly freely like a bird. Your only contact with mankind will be your instructor's reassuring voice as he talks you through your flight. As you get closer to ferma terra another instructor will take over on the radio and bring you in for a safe, gentle landing

Pressure Points 1/10th buggy rear - Available in green, blue and gold compounds Part # - 3035 (fits all 1/10th buggy rear wheels)
JConcepts, a leader in 1/10th vehicle performance, with accredited victories around the world, including ROAR National Championships and IFMAR World Championships, has added another piece to its successful racing arsenal. The Pressure Points are the latest low-height tread option specifically designed to tame high-speed courses with either wet or blue groove traction conditions. The design starts as an angular, low pin design as a carryover from the successful Bar Codes front tire line-up. The small points combined with lower case Y elements developed on the original Bar Codes V1 rear tire provide the ultimate in surface area pressure penetration and tack.
The inner carcass and side-wall has built-in ribbing which limits carcass collapse and increases support on the outside during hard cornering and driving. The new inner ribbing, combined with the included JConcepts insert, is a perfect match to provide the ultimate in support, traction and consistency. In the movies, its been said that loose is fast and on the edge of out of control. In our world, loose is slow and off the pace. The Pressure Points are designed to be driven hard while maintaining the grip necessary to drive at the limit. The edges of the side-walls have been carefully rolled for a smooth transition during cornering which limits traction-roll characteristics and allows the driver control during the all important tipping point every driver has experienced.
Just like all JConcepts tires, the Pressure Points are a proven winner. JConcepts driver Ryan Maifield TQed such races at the JConcepts Clash and Arizona State Championships with Pressure points while JR Mitch TQed the 11th annual Bigfoot Extravaganza with the Pressure Points gripping the dirt.
Go for the vitals with JConcepts, attack with Pressure Points.

FREDERICA, Del.- We use water every day for just about everything. Kent County officials want to make sure water stays clean by using a special system to treat wastewater.
Kent County Public Works Director Hans Medlarz said the chief goal of workers at the county's wastewater treatment plant is to keep the water clean.
"The wastewater has to be fully disinfected. In order to reach this infection we use chemicals or you can use UV light. We have in the past used chlorine," Medlarz said.
Chlorine was the most common way, Medlarz said, to disinfect water.
"The UV is a much more environmentally-friendly process and we employed it in the last two and a half years," said Medlarz.
Wastewater is disinfected using what is called the "Severn Trent's Microdynamics UV System" - considered the largest in the world.
When wastewater passes through tall, clear tubes, the UV light kills pathogens, or prevents harmful cells from mutating.
"This was the first in the United States to employ this technology, not the UV disinfection, but the UV disinfection without the filaments in the tubes, where we did not have to use tubes that have to be underwater at all times. They can be exposed," Medlarz said.
The plant receives wastewater from not only Kent County, but southern portions of New Castle County and northern Sussex County. Treated wastewater is discharged to a tributary of the Murderkill River.
The plant has won several Environmental Protection Agency awards since 1998.

We Build. We Lead. We Cooperate. We Call It Your Competitive Edge.
The University of Dayton is made up of a community of scholars dedicated to transformative education.
We believe in "building community." It's a distinctly Catholic, Marianist educational philosophy that gives our graduates a competitive edge. They are prepared to build strong learning communities based on compassion, justice and collaboration. Our graduates develop critical minds and compassionate hearts, honed by real-world experiences that are part of the curriculum, no matter what major they choose.
We offer an array of undergraduate and graduate programs, including a Ph.D. in educational leadership and a doctor of physical therapy. Teachers and administrators at public, private and Catholic schools may earn Master's degrees available online. Graduate degrees are also available in counseling and higher education as well as in health and sport sciences.
We rank in the upper echelon of Catholic higher education for faculty productivity, externally funded research and prominence within national initiatives. We are accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education.
We also are part of an elite national network of colleges and universities dedicated to radically changing the way students are prepared to teach. The reform initiative, Teachers for a New Era (TNE) Learning Network, is supported by the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the Annenberg Foundation. It includes the premiere teacher preparation programs in the nation and focuses on disciplinary rigor, disciplinary studies and academically focused clinical experiences for pre-service teachers.
Our teacher education students already perform at the head of the class on Praxis II, an examination for teacher licensure in Ohio. The passage rates for University of Dayton teacher candidates significantly surpass the national passage rates.
Our students also excel in areas of allied health. Since 1995, our pre-physical therapy students have earned a 96 percent acceptance rate into graduate physical therapy programs, and dietetics students have achieved a 92 percent acceptance rate into post-baccalaureate dietetics internships. Our new, fully accredited doctor of physical therapy program has one of the highest percentages of board-certified faculty in Ohio.
Here and across the region, partners in education, industry and government are collaborating to teach STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) across disciplines from early childhood through college. We're fulfilling a tremendous national need by developing talent in fields at the root of the new economy.
We excel at urban and early childhood education. The Urban Teacher Academy prepares teachers to change the lives of urban schoolchildren. Students in the Lalanne Program teach for at least two years in a Catholic urban school, live together in a faith community and receive free tuition for master's degree courses taken during the summers. The Bombeck Family Learning Center serves as a model for its approach to early childhood education. Finally, the Dayton Early College Academy, a high school on campus operated by the University of Dayton, has received national attention for the way it's preparing high school students to earn a diploma as well as up to two years of college credit. DECA enjoys a 100 percent college acceptance rate. It's the only charter school in the country operated by a Catholic university, and it's the first early college in Ohio to enroll seventh graders.
At the University of Dayton, we're dedicated to transformative education.

I want you to think about your favorite song. I bet you can hear it in your head.
How about this: Imagine you are at a football game at your hometown stadium and an outstanding athlete breaks a touchdown run down the sidelines and amid the cheers and whooping, the high school band is joyfully playing the school fight song.
Imagine first-grade students, nervously fidgeting because they have never been on stage before until this first Christmas concert that they have prepared for during weeks of classes. When they begin to sing, good or bad, it shouts joy!
Imagine walking down the hall and hearing a sublimely beautiful rendition of "Danny Boy" sung in four parts.
Now imagine it's all gone.
Imagine now that the training is gone from our schools.
Students that had once defined themselves as musicians struggle with self-identity or self-worth. Instead of utilizing the arts as an outlet for feelings and emotions, the one thing that kept them off of drugs and alcohol is gone. The things learned in the arts that apply to other studies is gone.
No school song is played by band members that have prepared not only fun music but a show that requires immense self-discipline. Football games are only accompanied by cheers that soon die down. No parades. No carols during the Christmas season. No young child singing "Jingle Bells" at the top of their lungs.
When the budget cuts begin in Oklahoma, this will become a reality for many schools. So when you turn on your radio, remember that music comes through discipline. Music is the tip of the iceberg for all over Oklahoma soon principals and superintendents will have to make the difficult decision of cutting art, drama, music, and other programs that help students define themselves.
Call your local school and tell them what is important to you in the coming months. It truly isn't about teacher pay, that is a problem separate of this, it is about your kid's joy and self-identity.

Not what I expected -
PrettyLady, Madison, AL
Bought these for decor for my daughter's butterfly birthday. Did not know they did not come with a way to attach them to things. Originally purchased them to decorate bushes with but ended up having to lay them in a ceiling decoration made out of tulle to look like the butterflies were trapped in netting. Some of them have a tack sticking out of the back so I should be able to use them as frame decorations. Also, the pink is a very light baby pink and I needed a more hot pink so I should have ordered the fuchsia.
CenturyNovelty: If the merchandise had a way for the item to attach to things, it would state so in the items description.

Since 2009, with the support of the CAO/Provost's Office, the CTE has welcomed faculty members to serve as Faculty Associate to develop programming in a key area of CTE activities and support other faculty members in achieving excellence in teaching, and enhance the learning environment at LMU. Faculty Associates expand the portfolio of activities of the CTE and build capacity on campus for faculty development. Typically, Faculty Associates organize workshops and presentations and are available for colleagues for consultations and assistance.
Rachel Washburn is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Loyola Marymount University. She received her doctorate in medical sociology from the University of California, San Francisco. Rachel's research explores the politics of knowledge production and technologies in the health sciences. She is currently working on a project that examines the politics of measuring human exposures to environmental chemicals in the US during the latter part of the twentieth century. At LMU, Rachel teaches courses on medical sociology, environmental sociology, and science, technology, and society.
Project: Engaging Students in Disciplinary Ways of Knowing and Practicing
As instructors, we often develop courses that emphasize specific subject area knowledge without making explicit the core assumptions that shape the production of such knowledge. Research has shown that deeper learning occurs when students understand the connections between the key concepts and methods of inquiry that characterize particular disciplines. This semester's program explores strategies for making these connections more central in our coursework. Through workshops and formal presentations, faculty members will: a) examine discipline-specific approaches to producing knowledge, and b) identify the challenges they face in encouraging students to become independent thinkers capable of understanding and creating knowledge in their disciplines and beyond.
Crafting assignments that explicitly communicate expectations and provide the guidance necessary to facilitate independent thinking are essential to introducing students to ways of thinking and practicing in different disciplines. By identifying and describing all of the steps involved in preparing for and completing assignments, we assist students in producing thoughtful, high-quality work. We will explore and discuss best practices and examples from across disciplines.
Beth Brewer is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Specialized Programs in Urban Education at Loyola Marymount University. She received dual BAs from the University of Southern California and holds her EdD in Educational Leadership for Social Justice. Beth's research is in education, assessment, and teacher preparation with a focus on social media and the role of technology as a pedagogical tool in schools. Through her work in teacher preparation and in her professional development presentations and workshops, she seeks to provide teachers and university faculty with the tools needed to reach 21st century learners
Project: Rethinking the Student Learning Experience
Incoming undergraduate students experience education and learning in a multitude of ways that are influenced by standardization (e.g., the Common Core State Standards), federal and state legislation (e.g. NCLB), and learning frameworks intended to create competitive academic and professional environments. Upon entering the university community, they adapt these experiences and their learned skills as best possible to facilitate academic success. How can understanding our students' experiences support student learning and our teaching, in particular, our ability to develop courses that are rooted in rigor, creativity, innovation, and wonder? What can we do to meet students where they are and challenge them to think critically and consciously? How do we improve the overall student learning experience?
By examining the impact of standardization, the Common Core State Standards, Webb's Depths of Knowledge, and 21st Century Learning Skills, we will discuss the impact these policies have on students' expectations of learning as they enter their undergraduate courses. Exploring and understanding the current pre-university educational environment will help shape pedagogical practices and highlight the importance of innovation and collaboration in higher education. The programming will focus on how our pedagogical choices may be enhanced while working collaboratively to addresses the learning needs of 21st century learners.

He is currently pursuing his Doctorate in Learning Technologies at Pepperdine University where he is investigating the role of the instructor in facilitating student engagement in synchronous online classes.
Project: Examining the Pedagogy of Online Education and Technology
Online and technology mediated education are likely to become ever more important in higher education. What aspects of teaching and learning do online tools and technology lend themselves to? What are their advantages? What are the challenges? How different are online and technology-mediated instruction from traditional pedagogy? What kind of online instruction and technology can support the educational mission of LMU and its Strategic Plan?

Project: Student Engagement and Reflective Learning
How can we help our students to enjoy and value their learning? How can we help them be better learners? Vandana's project theme,"Student Engagement and Reflective Learning," addresses these questions. Engagement keeps students persisting, even in the face of challenging work. Reflection (also called metacognition" or "self-regulation" in the research) can be a powerful vehicle to effective learning. Students who are reflective know what they know and do not know, use past experiences to steer future learning, and are better able to deliberately apply their knowledge to new problems (including social problems!). Through presentations, discussions, and sharing of innovative teaching practices, we will explore ways of enhancing student engagement and reflection in our courses.
Lily Khadjavi is an Associate Professor of Mathematics. She received her bachelor's degree, cum laude, from Harvard University, and her PhD in Mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley. Her research interests range from algebraic number theory to the use of statistics in social science. A current project, analyzing LAPD traffic stop data and focusing on the issue of racial profiling, has led to joint work with Dr. Kaaryn Gustafson of the University Connecticut School of Law and presentations for the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights in Los Angeles (CHIRLA). Committed to civil rights advocacy, she serves on the board of the Barbara Jordan/Bayard Rustin Coalition, an African-American LGBT advocacy organization in Los Angeles.
Project: Increasing Diversity: Addressing Stereotype Threat
The impact of "stereotype threat" -- the fear, conscious or unconscious, of being judged through the lens of a negative stereotype -- manifests itself at many levels of academia. For example, because of stereotype threat, students from under-represented groups may not perform up to their potential, despite their best efforts and the best intentions of their professors. This affects women and students of color in math and science, among others. Through workshops and presentations, we will learn more about this phenomenon and about tools and interventions so that our students and faculty can achieve to their fullest.
Dr. Cathy McGrath is an Associate Professor in the Management Department. She spent her time as Faculty Associate organizing events and developing support for Community-based Learning (CBL), a pedagogical area closely connected to LMU's mission and one in which she has significant experience based on her own teaching. By partnering with the Center for Service and Action (CSA) she worked to increase institutional awareness about CBL. Among others, Cathy organized guest speakers and events for faculty such as:
Dr. Deena Gonzalez is a Professor of Chicana/o Studies. During her time as Faculty Associate, Deena developed events supporting inclusive pedagogy, that explored the dynamics of power and difference in the classroom. The events were closely related to several important discussions at LMU, such as the developing new core curriculum and retention of junior faculty of color. Deena drew from the perfect blend of knowledge, experience and personal strength to the achieve the goal of "promoting a lively, coordinated conversation about race, ethnicity and gender." Among others, Deena organized public lectures and workshops for faculty by the following guest speakers:

Former Olympians and sports stars gathered at the Bridgewater Marriot Friday to support the Joetta Clark Diggs Foundation at the organization's 7th annual Sports Extravaganza.
The extravaganza helps fund the foundation's activities, which promote involvement in physical activities for girls and boys ages 5 through 12.
Joetta Clark Diggs, of Hillsborough, is a four‐time Olympian and has been America's premier female middle distance runner for more than three decades. A graduate of Columbia High School in Maplewood and the University of Tennessee, Diggs is considered by track enthusiasts as the most prolific 800-meter runner of all time.
Diggs has been ranked among the top 10 in America for more than 20 years, and ranked top 10 in the world nine times.
This year's extravaganza, "Down Memory Lane," gave tribute to great athletes who have been exemplary people both on and off the field.
Some of the athletes in attendence included 1996 400-meter Olymipic gold medalist Derrick Adkins, 1984 welterweight Olympic gold medalist Mark Breland, former New York Jets running back Bruce Harper, former Negro League pitcher Pedro Sierra, 1964 Olympic bronze medalist Edwin Roberts, and former 55-meter hurdles world record holder Candy Young.
Several high school students were also honored as final recipients for $1,000 and a laptop through the foundation.
Those students recognized were David Pulsifer, of Hillsborough High School; Abisola Adewolu, of Ridgefield Park Junior-Senior High School; Ashley Ezema, of Hunterdon Central Regional High School; and Dalvona Amani, of East Orange Campus High School.

NORMAN — The Norman Philharmonic is providing food for both the soul and stomachs during its 3 p.m. Nov. 25 holiday concert.
Titled "A Simple Gift," the concert is benefiting Food And Shelter, Inc. with the ultimate goal of raising sufficient funds to provide nearly 500 nights of shelter for those in need. Norman Phil Music and Artistic Director Richard Zielinski said the concert is a way to both celebrate and support the Norman community.
"I wanted to team up with someone in the community and I thought, 'Thanksgiving — great time to be thankful for what we have but also give what we have,'" he said.
Though ticket sales will go towards the fundraiser, both money and food donations will also be accepted at the concert, held at McFarlin Memorial United Methodist Church, 419 S. University Blvd. Tickets, $10, can be purchased by calling 405-321-3484 or at McFarlin 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to noon Friday or 8 a.m. to noon Sunday. Tickets will also be available for purchase at the door on a first come, first served basis.
Food And Shelter Executive Director April Doshier said the Phil's goal of raising $10,000 specifically for shelter will allow them to provide emergency shelter more liberally, while still maintaining funds for other needs.
And with Food And Shelter's kitchen serving more than ever before — an average of 180-200 people a day — Doshier said every last donation, whether food or finances, is felt in a large way.
"Dr. Z has titled this concert, 'A Simple Gift' and I really believe that just a little bit of time, if everyone could give it, a little bit of resources, if everyone came together, could make a huge difference in the lives of the people in our community who are struggling everyday," she said. "A simple gift can make a huge difference."

The District derives its legal status from the Constitution of the State of Texas and from the Texas Education Code that authorizes a public junior college and/or district any one of the following classifications:
A public junior college shall be defined as an institution of higher education.
The District was established pursuant to an election held according to state law on October 7, 1972, for the purpose of creating a Union Junior College District.
The corporate name of this college as provided by law is Lone Star College System District (LSCS), herein referred to as the System.
The Board of the System by resolution may change the name of the System or a college within the System by eliminating the words community or junior from the name of the System or college, unless the change would cause the System or college to have the same or substantially the same name as an existing district, college, or other public or private institution of higher education in this state.
The Board shall file with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (Coordinating Board) a copy of the resolution that is certified by the secretary of the Board. The name change is effective on the date the resolution is filed with the Coordinating Board.
After a name change is filed, the college or System shall use the new name in all official actions, communications, or records.
Services provided by junior community college districts are defined as the courses and programs described in Texas Education Code Sec. 130.011 and 130.003(e).
The service area of a junior college district means:
The service area of the Lone Star College System District includes the territory within:
Aldine, Conroe, Cypress-Fairbanks, Humble, New Caney, Spring, Tomball, Magnolia, Willis, Montgomery, Splendora, Cleveland, Tarkington, and Klein independent school districts - each of these territories are within Harris, Montgomery and/or San Jacinto Counties; and
The Huntsville and New Waverly independent school districts in Walker County.
The territory within the taxing boundaries of the System includes Aldine, Conroe, Cypress-Fairbanks, Humble, Klein, Magnolia, New Caney, Splendora, Spring, Tomball and Willis independent school districts.
The territory outside the taxing boundaries of the System includes Cleveland, Huntsville, Montgomery, Tarkington and New Waverly independent school districts.
The establishment of any new public junior college campus within an existing junior college district, or the establishment of any new junior college district shall be approved by the Legislative Budget Board, if the establishment occurs during a time when the legislature is not in session.
The Legislature shall approve the establishment of any new public junior college campus within an existing junior college district, or the establishment of any new junior college district if proposed during, or within three months prior to, a legislative session.
As authorized by Texas Education Code, Sec. 130.003(e), the System provides:
Lone Star College System provides comprehensive educational opportunities and programs to enrich lives.
The Board shall review and, if necessary, revise the Statement of Mission and Value Statements on a biennial basis to ensure that they represent accurately the role and scope of a comprehensive public community college district and are responsive to the changing needs of the System's constituencies.
The System acknowledges and recognizes the increasingly diverse, multi-cultural nature of society consisting of age, racial, gender, ethnic, and religious groups whose cultures, values, beliefs, and lifestyles are viable elements of a democratic society. To encourage full implementation of the System's value statements, which support dynamic and diverse learning communities and access with quality, the Board declares the following guiding principles of the System:
Lone Star College System District stands for quality education throughout all programs and phases of the institution. In order to measure the attainment of the goals outlined by the long-range plans, the Board has identified the following components of institutional effectiveness. These components are considered to be an integral part of the total administration of the System and must be given the support and consideration they demand.
The Board, through its adoption of policy, provides direction for the System to accomplish its mission. The ultimate authority in the structure is the Board, and final decisions on matters of governance will always rest with the Board.
The Chancelloris the Chief Executive Officer of the System, interpreter of policy adopted by the Board, and the only employee reporting directly to the Board. Operating under a line and staff form of organization, appropriate reporting lines are defined by the Chancellor.
The System shall create and maintain a council and committee structure to create opportunities for employees, students and others to have input into the decision making process of the System.
The executive officers have direct access to the Chancellor and have line authority in their respective areas of responsibility.
Participatory Governanceis the process whereby faculty and staff have the opportunity and the responsibility to provide input, ask questions, and pose possible outcomes during the information-gathering phase of decision-making. In this context, "participatory" refers to the responsibility for adequate consideration of an issue from all points of view. "Governance" refers to the process whereby policy issues are considered, formulated, presented and finally supported. Central to the decision-making process is the development of an environment characterized by openness and mutual trust and respect.
LSCS Policy Manual Section adopted by the Board of Trustees on August 7, 2008

The Associated Press
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Star linebacker Michael Mauti's college football career had just come to an end in November when he spotted the next generation of Penn State football players.
So, he decided to do what Mauti had done time and again during his Nittany Lions career: He helped others, and imparted some inspirational words along the way.
Adam Breneman, one of the top tight end prospects in the country, is one of them, and he listened intently. Mauti indeed passed the torch of leadership to Breneman and some other high school seniors on recruiting trips to Happy Valley that day, setting the tone for a critical offseason at Penn State.
Indeed, there is no bowl game to rally around this season. No sunny destination dancing around in the Nittany Lions' heads. No fun-filled reward for all of their hard work in this season of recovery at PSU.
But there is hope. There is optimism. And there is Year 2 of the Coach Bill O'Brien era to sculpt.
Under O'Brien, Penn State finished an overachieving 8-4 with a second-place finish in the Big Ten Leaders Division. The Nittany Lions went 6-2 in conference, and likely would have been a lock for a New Year's Day bowl game. As it is, Penn State is not in a bowl for the first time in eight seasons.
But there is much to build on. An emotional 24-21 overtime win, for instance, over Wisconsin in the finale sent the program into the offseason on a high note.
And O'Brien will need that in his first full offseason to secure a recruiting class amid scholarship cuts. The sanctions limit Penn State's recruiting classes to no more than 15 a year for the next four years.

American humorist Mark Twain observed that "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness." At Miller College, we believe there is much truth in this piece of wit. We actively welcome international students to campus and support our students to travel abroad. We host faculty from all over the world and encourage our own to spend time overseas.
Ball State exposes students and faculty to other cultures and ways of doing and thinking (often in sharp contrast to life in these United States). The experiences offer invaluable personal and professional development opportunities. This is especially true today when our jobs take us to distant countries, and we work with numerous people from other cultures.
Our commitment to international education remains steadfast despite the difficult financial times universities are experiencing. To a large extent, the continued support of our many friends and alumni has allowed us to grow our international profile. As the second year of my deanship progresses, I hope to meet many more of you to personally express our thanks for the transformative changes your gifts create. Of course, to open the door to the world for all our 2,500 students at Miller College, our need for resources continues.
Our recent alumni meetings in Indianapolis and Chicago provide excellent forums for networking, reconnecting, and sharing. Other events are being planned around the country. I look forward to these occasions and hope to see you there and tell you more about the exciting initiatives we have under way here at Miller College.

The official rules and regulations governing domestic IRONMAN 70.3 events
Rules Applying To All Segments of Race
It is the athlete's responsibility to know all aspects of the swim, bike and run.
This event is sanctioned by USA Triathlon (USAT). Please visit www.usatriathlon.org for a complete set of competitive rules. IRONMAN 70.3 has been granted certain rule dispensations so please familiarize yourself with the exceptions listed on the website and in the Athlete Guide.
Athletes should be aware of the serious consequences of violating USAT Competitive Rule 3.5 –Unregistered Participants, which states:
a.) any person who participates in any portion of a sanctioned event without first properly registering and paying any required registration fee shall be suspended or barred from membership in USAT and barred from participation in any sanctioned event for a period of up to one year.
b.) any person who in any way assists another athlete to violate Section 3.5a by providing or selling a race number to that athlete shall be suspended or barred from membership in USA Triathlon and barred from participation in any sanctioned event for a period of up to one year. Anyone who violates this rule may be banned for life from any World Triathlon Corporation (WTC) event. Violating this rule puts insurance coverage for the event at risk.
1.According to USAT rules, once an athlete competes as a Professional/Elite athlete anywhere in the world within the calendar year, the athlete cannot compete as an amateur/age group athlete in a USAT-sanctioned event in that same calendar year. Failure to disclose correct status shall be cause for disqualifying the athlete from the event and may result in a one-year suspension from USAT-sanctioned events. Once an athlete competes as a Professional/Elite in the IRONMAN 70.3 qualifying race series season, the athlete cannot compete as an age group athlete in that year's IRONMAN World Championship or IRONMAN World Championship 70.3 as an amateur.
2. Participants are expected to follow directions and instructions of all race officials and public authorities.
3. Course marshals and race officials shall have authority to disqualify any contestant.
4. Medical personnel shall have ULTIMATE and FINAL authority to remove a contestant from the race if the contestant is judged to be physically incapable of continuing the race without risk of serious injury or death. Medical transport of any contestant will result in disqualification.
5. Fraud, theft, abusive treatment of volunteers, staff or others and acts of poor sportsmanship are grounds for immediate disqualification and will result in the contestant being suspended from competing in any IRONMAN or IRONMAN 70.3 event in the future.
6. No participant can use a Performance Enhancing drug or procedure. All doping processes and violations will be handled in strict accordance with IRONMAN Anti Doping Rules, which can be found at the following link: http://ironmanpromembership.com/anti-doping/. A list of banned substances is available at: http://ironmanpromembership.com/anti-doping/ also known as the WADA Prohibited List. Participants may be requested to undergo drug testing before and after the event. If you are requested to do so, you hereby agree to abide by such testing procedures.
7. The Medical Control Rules set forth by USAT, in harmony with WTC Anti-Doping regulations and policies on banned substances, will be binding on all participants. In addition, other rules and regulations, even if not yet recognized by the WTC Anti-Doping, may be instituted, which if such occurs, you agree to abide by.
8. Should any participant have an Adverse Analytical Finding according to the WTC Anti-Doping code, all procedures with regards to handling of the sample, notification, testing of the B Sample, adjudication and suspensions will be in accordance with WTC rules.
9.

Mahler: Symphony No.8 - "Symphony Of A Thousand" - 4785006
. . . I had a near out-of-body experience while listening to a 1971 Decca LP set, taped in Vienna's Sofiensaal, with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra led by its legendary maestro Sir Georg Solti and featuring strong vocal soloists and great choruses . . . [now] we are treated to a High Fidelity Pure Audio Blu-ray . . . [with eight principal soloists] as well Viennese choruses, there is no shortage of vocal fire power on stage. The performers are further stoked to a proverbial white-heat state by the often-frenetic baton of conductor Solti, making this performance one that will keep listeners on the edges of their respective seats throughout . . . [this release] truly benefits from this newer audio format. While the recording industry has moved on considerably since 1971, this was one whale of a performance then and remains so to this day.
Heading to that desert island? Don't forget to pack this one . . . Solti has held up over the years as a disc that, like his Wagner "Ring", really sets so many standards in so many departments. And since this was not a surround sound issue to begin with, this is the perfect treatment for this re-release, sounding better than it ever has -- and it was always good. For me another desert island pick, obligatory.

LEWIS — As St. Patrick's Day approaches, Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting is urging motorists to plan a safe ride home from any festivities they attend.
March 17, area law-enforcement officials will be on high alert, cracking down on drunk drivers as part of the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over public-safety campaign.
"Drunk driving is dangerous, deadly and against the law — and it will not be tolerated in Essex County this St. Patrick's Day," Cutting said in a press release.
"We are giving fair warning to everyone traveling through Essex County that our law-enforcement officers will be out on patrol, and if you are caught driving drunk, you will be arrested."
Police in Clinton and Franklin counties will also increase patrols around St. Patrick's Day.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that more than 700 people were killed nationwide in crashes involving drunk drivers during St. Patrick's Day holidays from 2006 to 2010.
On average, every 51 minutes, a person is killed in a drunk-driving crash in the United States, and the majority of these crashes involve drivers who have blood alcohol concentrations of .15 grams per deciliter or higher, almost twice the legal limit of .08 BAC, according to the news release.
Cutting listed his recommendations to have a safe St. Patrick's Day:
▶ Before the festivities begin, plan a safe way home.
▶ Before drinking, designate a sober driver and leave your car keys at home.
▶ If you're impaired, use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member or use public transportation to get home safely.
▶ If you see a drunk driver on the road, contact local police.
▶ If you know someone who is about to drive a car or ride a motorcycle while impaired, take the keys and help the person make other arrangements to get home safely.

Republicans Want Lawmakers, Staff to Foot Obamacare Bill
- By Kellie Lunney
- September 10, 2013
- Leave a comment
Lawmakers and congressional staff would have to pay for their health care without government help under legislation introduced this week.
Rep. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., is sponsoring a bill (H.R. 3066) that would prohibit the government from contributing to the premium costs of health care plans covering members of Congress and congressional staff, including committee and leadership aides. Most lawmakers and congressional staff have to drop their health insurance coverage under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program soon and enter the exchange market as part of the 2010 Affordable Care Act.
The Office of Personnel Management issued draft guidance last month that said the federal government would continue to help subsidize legislative branch employees' health plans under Obamacare. Affected lawmakers and congressional staff still have to enter the exchanges beginning Oct. 1 per the law, but, like private sector employees, they would not lose their employer contributions for these health plans, the Obama administration said. FEHBP currently pays up to 75 percent of the health care program's premium costs.
Several House and Senate Republicans are upset about the administration's decision, arguing that Capitol Hill should not receive a special exemption under a law Congress created.
"Without legal authority, President Obama plans to give subsidies to political insiders that aren't available to any other American," Cotton said in a statement about his bill, dubbed the 2013 No Special Deal for D.C. Insiders Act. Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Ga., also introduced a bill that would eliminate the government's employer contribution to the health care plans of lawmakers and staff, according to a report in The Hill. Sens. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., and David Vitter, R-La., are leading a similar effort in the Senate.
But Congress is a large employer, and many worry that the shift from FEHBP to the health care insurance exchanges under Obamacare without a government contribution would be too expensive for many aides and lawmakers, making it difficult to retain employees. OPM's proposed rule stipulates that those affected congressional employees and lawmakers would not qualify for premium tax credits under the Affordable Care Act.
Another bill (H.R. 3067) circulating in the House, sponsored by Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., would strip the government subsidy of health care premiums for lawmakers only, and would not affect congressional staff.
