Ramapo Councilman Daniel Friedman announced he is offering a book he wrote on youth and gun violence to all Rockland middle and high schools and public libraries.
Friedman wrote and published "Saving Our Children: An In-Depth Look At Gun Violence In Our Nation And Our Schools" in 2006, when he was 20 years old.
He said he was providing the book for free in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in order to raise awareness of the gun control issue among young people.
"The point of this is to encourage more awareness, education, understanding of this very important issue," he explained on Wednesday.
According to Friedman, the book examines the history of the gun culture in America, and includes statistics and incidents of gun violence, an analysis of the media's impact on young people, landmark legislation on guns, and unbiased analysis of opposing points of view on the controversial issue of gun control. The book also discusses bullying in schools.
Friedman said he became interested in the issue as he was working on it with elected officials and that led to his advocacy. He said he hopes it will encourage a serious discussion among youths.
"They ought to be informed about all aspects of it," he said.
"Having this book in school libraries will offer educators and students important information and an understanding about this issue and how to prevent violence of any kind among young people, said Friedman. "In particular, I collected information from a vast number of resources and compiled important practical information for educators on how to identify and prevent school violence. The time has come for us to have a serious conversation about this issue, and I believe that educators – and students – have a role to play in this process."
School and library officials can pick up two complimentary copies of the book from Phil Tisi in the Supervisor's office at Ramapo Town Hall at 237 Route 59 in Suffern.

Please use the buttons below to see more information on Leicester Tigers and matches between Exiles and Tigers over the years.
London Irish
Leicester Tigers
Fixture Type: Aviva Premiership
Match Date: Sun 25 Mar 2012
Kick Off: 15:00
Venue: Madejski Stadium
Referee: Dean Richards
TV Match Official: David Grashoff
Assistant Referee: Roy Maybank
Assistant Referee: Andrew Watson
In a topsy-turvy encounter that was played at break-neck speed, London Irish were punished for chasing the game at the death as a pass failed to find its intended recipient, leaving replacement back-rower Croft with a free passage under the posts with time up on the clock.
It was a great advertisement for the Aviva Premiership with both sides wanting to play. Irish showed a lot of heart and passion right until the end, but unfortunately, on this occasion, it was not enough.
On a pristine surface bathed in sunshine, the Exiles set their stall out with some expansive passing movements from the start and took the lead on five minutes thanks to a penalty from Tom Homer.
The Exiles were the far more dominate side in the opening 10 minutes and could have crossed the line first. Steven Shingler broke down the right hand flank and was tackled agonisingly short of the line by the Tigers number 8, Thomas Waldrom. The Irish build up play was magnificent, with the outside backs playing a key role, especially Joe Ansbro who made the initial break.
Irish finally got their reward for sustained pressure when Dan Bowden stepped back into the pocket and slotted a superb drop goal after 15 minutes.
After a long delay at the set piece Leicester went over for their first try of the afternoon courtesy of Toby Flood. The two packs of forwards had re-set after re-set scrum five metres out from the Exiles line and when the ball was finally release to Toby Flood, the England international crossed off an arcing run. The fly half's attempted conversion, which was certainly kickable, was charged down by Darren Allinson.
With the momentum with them, the Tigers crossed for their second try. Keeping the ball tight proved to be effective and when the chance arose Julian Salvi was on hand to dive over and dot the ball over the line. Flood made no mistake with the conversion and the Tigers found themselves with a six point lead.
Tom Homer cut the deficit to just three points with a well taken penalty after Dan Cole dropped his bind at the scrum against Alex Corbisiero. Things got better for the Exiles when Bryn Evans crossed for his second try for the club.
Jamie Gibson won the ball at the line out and tapped down to Darren Allinson who scythed through the Leicester forwards before drawing the Leicester covering defender and allowing Evans a run in from 20 metres out. Homer added the extras and sent Irish into the break with a four point advantage.
The visitors drew first blood in the second half as Toby Flood kicked the visitors back within a point five minutes in. They dominated territory and possession during this period and got three points for their efforts.
The Tigers edged in front just after 50 minutes with another penalty at a point when the game was lacking rhythm and pace. This all changed moments later when Tom Homer crossed for a superb individual effort. Jamie Gibson regathered the re-start when he had no right to. The ball was fed wide to Homer, who looked to be running down a blind alley. He brushed off the attempted Leicester tackles, rounded the full back and dotted down next to the post before showing his acrobatical skills with a somersault. He added the conversion to make it London Irish 23 Leicester 18.
The Tigers reply was emphatic. Toby Flood closed the gap with a penalty, before Manu Tuilagi scored under the posts to put Leicester in front.
The visitors were controlling the tempo and playing to their strengths by keeping the ball tight in their forward pack. Discipline cost Irish and Flood kicked his fifth penalty of the afternoon. Homer replied to keep the Exiles in touch.
The young fullback kicked another long range penalty shortly after to make it a two point ball game before converting his most difficult kick of the game to give Irish a one point lead going into the final three minutes.
Toby Flood put Leicester back in front with a minute to go to set up a tense finale before Tom Croft crossed for another Leicester try as the Exiles chanced their arm. Flood added the conversion and Leicester won 41-32.
Score sequence (London Irish first): 3-0, 6-0, 6-5, 6-12, 9-12, 16-12, 16-15, 16-18, 23-18, 23-21, 23-28, 23-31, 26-31, 29-31, 32-31, 32-34, 32-41

Sandwich of the Week: The Cheesesteak
Although the UG had nothing to do with the invention of the sandwich, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of pride at having had the good sense over the years to eat so many of them, an act sometimes frowned upon by his foodie friends and colleagues, but now proven prescient by this seemingly astute publication. Sadly, the buoyant mood was short-lived: When we reached the end of the list (Grimod de la Reyniere's L'Almanach des Gourmands), we came upon a disturbing little sidebar entitled "Hall of Infamy: The ten least glorious moments in food history." Setting aside the invention of margarine as Waitrose's pick for the No. 1 worst moment in food history, and getting to the point, here in the ignominious No. 2 slot was the UG's beloved cheesesteak. "1933 in Philadelphia, Pat Olivieri invents the Cheesesteak," it read, followed by a real zinger: "Philadelphia is later named the most obese city in America."
To say that this baffled the UG is to put it mildly. What kind of thinking ranks the sandwich the second best thing ever to happen to food, and then, in a stunningly schizo about-face, declares one of the greatest exemplars of the sandwich genre the second worst thing ever? That's like ranking the automobile at the top of a list of man's greatest non-culinary achievements and then denouncing the Ferrari. The only possible explanation is that the editors of Waitrose Food Illustrated have never tasted a true cheesesteak. To right this outstanding wrong, we're naming the cheesesteak this week's Sandwich of the Week. And assuming that the Waitrose gang's palates haven't already been completely destroyed by a diet of Marmite, chip butties, and Scotch eggs (none of which made it into their Hall of Infamy, by the way), we invite them to New York to try a cheesesteak at any of the following establishments: Shorty's on Ninth Avenue, 99 miles to philly, Carl's Steaks, Wogie's, and Philly Slim's. Philadelphia, of course, has a few good cheesesteak joints too, including the aforementioned Pat's, Geno's, and Jim's. Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

By KEVIN HARRIS
Whether it was on the soccer field or the basketball court, opposing players and coaches could count on one thing when they faced New Albany's Tanner Marcum the past four seasons — she was going to be a major factor.
As a senior last school year, Marcum made huge contributions for the Bulldogs' girls' soccer and girls' basketball teams. That perseverance enabled the 5-foot-8 student-athlete to earn the first-ever News and Tribune Girls' Athlete of the Year honor for the 2012-13 academic year.
A voting panel that consisted of area media members, coaches, athletic directors and high school sports fans selected Marcum from a field of 13 candidates. The requirements to be a candidate for the honor were the area female student-athlete had to play at least two sports and earn a spot on at least one News and Tribune All-Area team.
"It's awesome. It's a huge honor," Marcum said about receiving the accolade last week in a phone interview. "I'm thankful to the people who voted for me."
Marcum was one of the leaders in the Bulldog girls' soccer team's march to its first sectional championship in program history last October. Last season, she led New Albany in scoring and was the Bulldogs' top defensive player to help them compile a 11-5-2 record, earning her a spot on the News and Tribune All-Area first team.
Marcum was a crucial factor in the Class 2A Floyd Central Sectional. She connected on the final penalty kick of the shootout in the Bulldogs' 3-2 win over the archrival Highlanders in the sectional semifinal. Marcum volunteered to take the final pressure-packed PK with the shootout tied at four after then New Albany girls' soccer Julie Deuser asked her players who wanted to take the shot.
In the sectional final, Marcum made the lone goal of the game and helped the New Albany defense record a shutout in the Bulldogs' 1-0 victory over Jasper.
New Albany girls' basketball coach Tammy Geron says the experience Marcum has gained as a multisport athlete throughout her high school career molded her into an effective leader.
"Anytime you have a multisport athlete, they know how to deal with adversity," Geron said. "She handles her teammates well and she handles her coaches well. Being a multisport athlete, she brings the little things to the table to be successful.
"She had a big impact at New Albany on the basketball court and the soccer field. For her to be named the female Athlete of the Year, it's well-deserved."
Even though she did not lead the New Albany girls' basketball team to a winning record and a sectional championship in 2012-13, Marcum had a season on the court that etched her name throughout the Bulldogs' record book.
Marcum averaged 22 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 3.7 steals per game for the 9-12 Bulldogs. In Hoosier Hills Conference contests, the senior guard scored 33.4 points a contest. Those statistics enabled Marcum to collect her second consecutive News and Tribune/Sonya Wahl Memorial Area Player of the Year honor. She also earned a spot on the all-HHC team and an honorable-mention selection on The Associated Press All-State team.
Marcum concluded her New Albany career ranked second in all-time steals (318) and free-throw percentage (78 percent) and third in career scoring (1,216 points) and career assists (336). She also was fourth in program history in field-goal percentage (53 percent) and 3-point field-goal percentage.
"It was a good season," Marcum said. "I will remember my teammates forever."
Marcum said playing soccer in the fall helped her stay in shape for basketball season in the winter and vice versa. During her prep career once she got done with basketball, Marcum immediately concentrated on playing club soccer.
"It was a continuous cycle," Marcum said. "Soccer definitely helped me keep in shape for basketball. It helped me with my footwork and quickness for basketball."
Marcum has signed a national letter of intent to play basketball next season at the University of Southern Indiana. Marcum recently traveled to the NCAA Division II college in Evansville to participate in two weeks of strength and conditioning sessions with her new teammates.
"The workouts were more intense than they were in high school. I'll have to get used to it," Marcum said.
Geron is confident that Marcum will have a great career with the Screaming Eagles.
"She's going to be successful wherever she is," Geron said. "She's easy to coach and easy to play with, and she'll do whatever it takes to win."

Keith Price's backward hat is emblazoned with a specific instruction, though the former Washington Huskies quarterback likely sees it more as a message of caution.
"Don't Doubt Me," the black cap screams in all-caps white lettering.
Price wore the hat throughout his throwing session at Washington's pro day Wednesday afternoon at the Dempsey Indoor facility, where 15 former UW players gathered to work out for the 20 or so NFL scouts in attendance.
But with tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins still sidelined by a stress fracture in his foot, and with running back Bishop Sankey letting most of his NFL Scouting Combine numbers speak for themselves, Price and his scripted set of passes were the main attractions.
He lived up to the billing. Price made about 45 throws and completed all but five — two were dropped — while drawing praise for an early deep ball he threw to wide receiver Kevin Smith for about a 65-yard completion.
Afterward, the 6-foot-1, 202-pound native of Compton, Calif., said he most wanted to prove "just my arm strength and ball placement. I think people look at my frame — a lot of time I'm not going deep and testing my arm strength — but I can throw the ball. I think I have a strong arm. I'm confident in myself, and I'm confident in my abilities."
And he's not shy about telling you that, yes, he was miffed by his exclusion from the NFL Scouting Combine.
Price, who has been working out in Carlsbad, Calif., with his personal coach, Steve Calhoun, said "there was no doubt in my mind I was going" to receive a combine invitation.
Then he didn't. Nineteen other quarterbacks did.
"I was in Carlsbad training with (Central Florida quarterback) Blake Bortles and (Wyoming QB) Brett Smith, Arizona running back) Ka'Deem Carey, guys like that," Price said.
"All those guys are getting ready to go to the combine, and I'm the only one stuck at the facility, you know what I mean? I was a bit pissed about it. But it was nothing I could do, and I continued my journey. It's been a stressful one. But I'm glad I'm going through it."
The combine snub surprised his teammates, too.
"I was really surprised, I'm not going to lie," said Sankey, who caught a few passes from Price on Wednesday. "At first I was a little taken aback by it, just because I know what he's done here at the university and how great of a quarterback he is. I think it added a chip on his shoulder, and he wanted to come out here and prove that he is a capable quarterback."
Not appearing at the combine meant pro day was that much more important for Price, who is projected by most draft analysts as a late-round or undrafted prospect.
He's shorter than most NFL quarterbacks, and despite completing 64 percent of his passes for 8,919 yards, 75 touchdowns and 30 interceptions during his UW career, some have questioned Price's arm strength and ability to stay healthy.
Rob Rang, an analyst for NFLDraftScout.com, said before Price's workout that UW's shift to an up-tempo offense last season might have showcased the skills that could make Price valuable.
"He obviously had an impressive supporting cast at the skill positions — running back, tight end, wide receiver — but the offensive line has been an issue," Rang said. "I think that was one of the reasons (former UW coach Steve) Sarkisian decided to go with the quick hitting attack. You needed (to use) Price's intelligence and accuracy and his mobility to his advantage.
"I think they saw last year what he could do, and there's a number of clubs that (could) use that."
Price hopes at least one NFL team agrees. He would like to add another chapter to his self-described journey of told-you-so.
"Ever since I can imagine, even when I was a kid, I was always having to prove myself," Price said. "In high school we had (current Philadelphia Eagles backup and former USC QB) Matt Barkley (in his league in high school), and he took all the shine, and I didn't really get any publicity. And I don't do it for publicity; I do it for love of the game.
"When I came here, they had Nick Montana jerseys being sold before he even stepped foot on campus. Had to prove myself again. And now, after all my production here, I don't get invited to the combine.
"I have to prove myself all over again."
Seferian-Jenkins, who underwent foot surgery in February, said he hopes to be medically cleared April 26. The NFL draft begins May 8.
The Gig Harbor High School graduate said he has visits scheduled with eight NFL teams, and that he has maintained his weight of 263 pounds despite not being able to run after surgery.
Sankey participated in running-back position drills, but he ran only the 60-yard shuttle after posting an impressive 40-yard dash time at the combine. He was mostly focused on proving himself as a pass-catcher during Price's throwing session, which he said went well. ... Smith, Antavius Sims, Jonathan Amosa and James Johnson caught passes from Price, too. Other participants included kicker Travis Coons, defensive back Greg Ducre, safety Sean Parker, defensive lineman Sione Potoa'e from Lakes High School, linebacker Thomas Tutogi, defensive back Tre Watson and fullback Dorson Boyce (from the Class of 2011) ... Seahawks coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider were in attendance. So were Huskies coach Chris Petersen, a couple of UW assistants and several current players, including suspended quarterback Cyler Miles.

Best Practices & Trends in Workforce Analytics
David Weisbeck
(Visier, Inc.)
At the end of this session attendees should have a strong working knowledge of workforce analytics, its benefits, how to progress from beginner to advanced usage, how others have started and used metrics to their advantage, and finally an understanding of future trends in workforce analytics and planning.
The session will start by setting a baseline definition of workforce analytics. This baseline will serve as a framework to describe the potential benefits of focusing on data and metrics in HR with examples of what can be achieved. This theme will be expanded to provide information on both how an organization can start with analytics, or advance in their metric maturity. Regardless of whether attendees, or attendees' organizations are just starting in metrics or looking to expand their usage or add additional innovative insights a model will be shared to help them map and plan for increasing maturity. This model will show organization how they can plan and progress from beginner stages to advanced stages in a stepwise fashion.
To showcase what other organizations have done with workforce analytics two case study examples will be shared. One that highlights an example of an organization that recently started in workforce anaytics and how they approach their organization for buy-in and support. The other case study relates how a sophisticated organization used advanced techniques and an innovative or leading edge approach to the use of metrics to gain real advantage in the competition for talent.
Finally, the session will conclude by covering a survey of current and future trends in workforce analytics and associated technology. This will include providing insight into the pros and cons of the different approaches organizations may take to implement workforce analytics and insight into new technologies on the horizon.

Business Intelligence Innovations for Strategic Human Capital Management
Chris McLatcher
(Ultimate Software)
Business Intelligence (BI). Analytics. Big Data. Now more than ever, companies realize their workforce data is a strategic asset—allowing for the expert workforce visibility needed to gain a sharp competitive edge. Empirical evidence is proving that analytically-driven companies are outperforming their competition, in some cases by significantly wide margins. IBM recently reported that analytics-driven organizations perform 222% better than their peers. It's clear that gut-based judgments are being replaced by data-driven decisions. But how do you capitalize on the ever-growing amounts of workforce data generated in your organization each and every day?
Once only utilized by organizations' sales and marketing functions, detailed metrics can now help companies more effectively utilize their HR data to make fact-based decisions about their human capital investments. New technologies are emerging that will help companies effectively harvest this data, but companies must be prepared. There is a maturity model that can impact whether or not companies will be successful in capitalizing on this data.
Join Chris McLatcher, Director of BI & Analytics at Ultimate Software, during this informative discussion about Business IntelligenceI innovations within the human capital management (HCM) space. You'll get an in-depth look at hot, up-and-coming business applications, gain a better understanding of "big data's" role in shaping the HR landscape for years to come, and hear a real-world case study of predictive analytics' impact on business results. You'll also discover how BI can empower HR with the expert insight needed to contribute to their company's bottom line. Don't miss this informative and exciting session!

Talent Strategy Formulation, Measurement, & Management
Al Adamsen
(People Centered Strategies)
We're in a tumultuous era. We're in a "new normal," a period fraught with heightened uncertainty and risk, yet littered with opportunity for those prepared to identify and seize it. How then can an organization identify opportunity? How then can leaders mitigate risk and create a comparatively clear path to the future? The start of the answer begins with the realization that they can't do it alone. They need help. They need the help of the people within their organization. How can they help? For one, they can execute business strategy, and they need to do it efficiently (to optimize the return on investment) and effectively (to satisfy and inspire customers). How does this happen? Well, it doesn't it happen by accident. It happens systematically. Some leaders are conscious of this and manage the organization accordingly. Some are not and let the organization move at a pace and, at in some cases a direction, of its own making. So then, how can leaders move their organizations in a direction and at a pace of their own making? The answer is by formulating, measuring, and managing a well-planned Talent Strategy.
Great, but what is a Talent Strategy? What does one look like? How is it put together? What purpose does it serve? Who's involved? How will it be measured? How will changes be made over time?
For too long, as opposed to thinking systematically about the employee life-cycle and the employee experiences within it, leaders have simply implemented new processes when the perceived need arose or when old ones were deemed inadequate. Little exploration and planful thinking went into how processes intertwine and how, similarly, employees perceive the intertwining. Of course, such perceptions are real and affect employee engagement, productivity, retention, and other desirable outcomes. Enlightened, high-performing companies get this, and some of their stories will be shared in this session. Also shared will be innovations that are just now taking hold given the emergence of related technologies and bold leaders willing to use them. In the end, you will have a better understanding of Talent Strategy formulation, measurement, and management; you will be inspired to get it done; and you will view a clear path to create and implement one in your organization. Please join us for this holistic, confidence-inspiring session that will help your organization get where it wants to go.

Achieving Agility: Organizational Planning and Modeling Best Practices
Rana Hobbs
In the dynamic and ever changing world of business, it is imperative organizations stay agile to match the demands placed on them. The more quickly organizations can adapt and realign their structures with these changing conditions, the better their chances of success. Leading organizations are able to react quickly to changing internal or market conditions so as to seize market opportunity or avoid risk. There are two pieces fundamental to this agility – your people and your structure. When people and positions are in alignment, business is most effective. However, even with best talent, if not structured for success, they will hinder an organizations growth.
Organizations often lack a way to visualize the workforce and structure currently in place, and to then collaborate around change decisions, create change options, and assess the impact of change scenarios. As a result, organizational change becomes more risky, more costly, consumes longer cycle times, and jeopardizes the organization's ability to meet strategic objectives.
The questions are how can organizations continually aligning themselves to their strategies within fluctuating business and workforce conditions? How do they move quickly? Meet financial targets? Retain the right employees? Manage an efficient process?
To be a truly agile organization, you must be able to manage change from minor reassignments to major structural changes, so as to maintain constant alignment of your workforce to your most critical business objectives. In this session, we'll cover how data visualization within organizational planning provides a strategic and systematic approach to enabling planners and managers to collaborate on options and to fully comprehend the impact of all structural changes before taking action.

Eliminate the Capital Gains Tax
Americans shouldn't be taxed twice on their income, and we need to change the tax code to reflect this.
Mike Whalen is a Job Creators Alliance member and the president and CEO of Heart of America Group, which developed, owns and operates 27 restaurants and hotels in 10 metropolitan areas of six Midwestern states.
Last week, a fellow Jobs Creators Alliance member made the case that comprehensive tax reform is too important to be boiled down to a simple sound-bite or bumper sticker. He's right. But even as the need for overhauling our nation's cumbersome tax code grows—there are commonsense principles of reform that could actually fit on a bumper sticker. Here's one, for example: You shouldn't be taxed twice.
Seems straightforward enough, but that isn't the reality.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the economy.]
First, it's worth reminding people that we have a tax system that requires the wealthiest people in our society to pay more than lower income earners. According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, between 2007 and 2009, the richest 20 percent paid nearly 70 percent of federal taxes—and that disparity is growing. In 2009, the top 10 percent income earners paid 71 percent of federal income taxes, while about half paid none at all. In the case of people who derive most of their income from returns on investments, the tax rate they pay can appear much lower, when they may actually be paying much more. In fact, this was a major news story this past week when Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney reported paying 14.1 percent in taxes in 2011, sparking a media firestorm about how little such a wealthy person was paying. But, this misses a major point.
The reality is that Romney, and others like him who derive significant capital gains or dividends, has already been taxed by the time they receive this income, which is taxed around 15 percent. But this income gets taxed twice, once at the corporate level and then again at the individual level. Added together, the total tax rate may, in some cases, reach 44.75 percent. The bulk of the tax payments were lopped off before the investor received a penny. The seemingly lower tax rate is simply an artifact of how taxes are calculated rather than a reflection of the actual taxes paid.
[Take the U.S. News Poll: Did Mitt Romney Release Enough of His Tax Returns?]
You can sort of see how this works in your own paycheck. When you get your paycheck, your employer withholds income taxes, subtracting them from the amount you receive. When you file your taxes at the end of the year, you may owe very little or even get a refund. That doesn't mean you didn't pay taxes, just that they were taken out of the check before you ever received it.
The tax code treats corporations and their investors as two different people, but the principle is similar, except investment income is taxed again after the taxes have already been paid at the corporate level. Imagine how frustrated you might be if you had to pay taxes a second time on the money you take home after your employer already withheld taxes from your paycheck.
[Read the U.S. News Debate: Should Congress Pass the Senate's Tax Plan?]
The point here has less to do with Romney or other wealthy individuals and their tax rates and more to do with how the tax code is structured and what types of behavior it encourages.
Investment is the lifeblood of any economy. It provides the money companies need to grow, expand, and hire people. So, encouraging investment should be a high priority. The more you tax something, the less of it you'll get. So, if investment is something we want more of, it makes sense that we have low rates on investment income. In fact, there are those who would argue that because they punish investment, taxes on capital gains are economically inefficient and that the best policy would be to do away with them altogether.
[See an opinion slide show of how tax dollars are being wasted on stimulus projects.]
As an entrepreneur and job creator, I believe that we ought to have a free enterprise system that incentivizes investment. As we look toward this fall's elections and the impact that the results could have on the overall policy debate and efforts for comprehensive tax reform, it's imperative to focus our elected leaders on progrowth policies that will encourage economic growth. In the midst of a fragile recovery is not the time to be raising taxes on anyone—much less on the kind of economic activity that will power entrepreneurship: investment. A return to a 28 percent capital gains rate would result in the loss of more than 600,000 jobs annually. By contrast, eliminating taxes on investments would create 1.3 million jobs per year.
At a time when we are all rooting for a durable and sustainable American recovery, we should be doing everything we can to get the engine of our economy roaring again. Commonsense tax reform is a critical part of that goal.

An appeal filed by two Crawford County residents in November 2011 objecting to the Air Quality Plan Approval issued by Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection for a proposed tires-to-energy plant in Greenwood Township continues to work its way through the Pennsylvania Environmental Hearing Board.
However, under Pennsylvania law, construction must begin within 18 months of obtaining the permit or the developer, in this case Crawford Renewable Energy LLC, has to start the process all over again, according to Gary Clark, community relations coordinator for DEP's Northwest Regional Office in Meadville. By the time the permit was issued on Oct. 24, 2011, more than 14 months had passed since Aug. 13, 2010, the date CRE's application was first submitted.
"We've already commenced construction," CRE President Greg Rubino told the Tribune Wednesday. "The permit requirement was 100 percent complied with. We've done everything we're supposed to do."
Looking ahead, "I'm looking forward to getting it finished," Rubino added. "It's going to take a long time — it's a big project."
Since the Nov. 28, 2011, filing of the appeal by Robert Concilus and Leah Humes, who are now represented by attorney Sanford Kelson of Conneaut Lake, the hearing board's online case information file lists a total of 53 various filings made and orders issued in connection with the case to date. Today, for example, marks the hearing board's deadline for CRE to file a reply brief in response to a reply brief submitted by Concilus and Humes. That comes in response to CRE's response to Concilus and Humes motion for partial summary judgment and response to the cross motion for partial summary judgment. The deadline had been extended from April 18 at CRE's request; because Concilus and Humes did not oppose the extension, it was granted.
In early April 2010, Erie Renewable Energy LLC, the private corporation now known as CRE, announced plans to construct Meadville Power Station, a $350-million state-of-the-art facility capable of producing 90 megawatts of energy from 900 tons of waste tires per day. The proposed plant site, where construction has now begun, is on an 80-acre piece of Keystone Regional Industrial Park in Greenwood Township, which was developed by Economic Progress Alliance, the county's lead economic development agency.
By May 2010, an opposition group, Crawford Area Residents for the Environment, had been formed with support from Keep Erie's Environment Protected. An Erie-based organization, KEEP had been formed in opposition to plans announced in 2007 by ERE to redevelop the former home of International Paper into a similar facility.
With active support from CARE, Concilus and Humes challenged DEP's approval of the plant's air quality plan.

Jordan Staal said it will be weird facing the Pittsburgh Penguins.
To which Brandon Sutter added, Weird for both of us.
For the past six seasons, Staal was in Pittsburgh. The rugged center wore No. 11, helping the Pens win the 2009 Stanley Cup and becoming a big part of the Steel City community.
Sutter was with the Carolina Hurricanes the past four seasons. He was the lean kid, No. 16,. playing a tough, smart game at center and becoming a favorite among Canes fans.
On June 22, 2012, everything changed. On Staals wedding day, he was traded to the Hurricanes. Sutter, in turn, went to the Pens as an integral part of the trade.
On Thursday night, they come together again. The Canes host the Pens in something of a hockey reunion, bringing Sutter back to PNC Arena for the first time while Staal competes against his former team.
Its going to be awkward, Sutter said Wednesday. It will be different at first but once we get into the game, I can just keep it simple and play my game.
Its been on my mind and Im looking forward to seeing some of my old buddies. But it will be good to get through it and get it over with. Hopefully things will go well.
It has already been an interesting week for the Hurricanes. On Tuesday, Alexander Semin returned to Washington and the Verizon Center for the first time after playing the past seven seasons for the Caps.
It was not a satisfying or successful homecoming for Semin, who signed a one-year contract with Carolina in July. The Canes lost 3-0. But Semin was able to see some of his former teammates, including close friend Alexander Ovechkin.
Now, its Staals turn. And Sutters.
"Its going to be fun," Staal said. "Obviously I was (in Pittsburgh) for a long time and I have a lot of fond memories with that organization. Ive seen it a lot, being in Pittsburgh and seeing other guys (leave). Now to be on the other side is a little different.
Its just going to be fun to play against those guys and just try to beat them."
As happy as he was to have the Canes trade for his brother, Canes captain Eric Staal was sad to see Sutter leave. Eric Staal often has said Sutter was like another brother to him.
Like Jordan Staal, Sutter is 24. He sat next to Eric Staal in the PNC Arena locker room.
"He definitely was as close to a brother as I could have, Eric Staal said. I kind of watched him grow his first couple of years in the league. We would have loved to have been able to keep him but you have to give a little bit to get good, and we definitely gave up a good player in Brandon."
Sutter, 24, said the season has gone pretty well for him with his new team. With center Evgeni Malkin out with a concussion, he may be asked to shoulder more of the offensive load.
There were a lot of adjustments at first and the first few games I was thinking too much, said Sutter, who has four goals and four assists in 20 games. Its coming more natural to me now.
When the trade was announced June 22, several of the Pens players were in Thunder Bay, Ont., for Jordan Staals wedding, creating a surreal feeling. Staal said he has talked to quite a few of the Pens players since then, noting there were other weddings to attend.
"We were able to hang out, and Ive kept in pretty good contact with a lot of guys there," he said.
Jordan signed a 10-year contract extension a long-term commitment to being a part of the Canes. The combination of Jordan and Eric Staal has given Carolina added strength up the middle on the top two lines, and Jordan has four goals and 11 assists in 18 games..
"Obviously any time you come from an organization after a long period of a time its a bit of an adjustment. But I think its been pretty seamless for him," Eric Staal said. "Hes a smart hockey player, he knows the game. He will be a big part of this team for a long time.
"Its been fun. After games we can leave together, talk about the game. Before we used to be talking about his game and my game. Now were talking about it together. Its fun to be able to have those conversations with your brother. Its been pretty cool having him on the team."

By JEROD CLAPP
Long waits for required approvals and higher-than-anticipated bids have kept IU Southeast from completing its sixth residence hall.
The dorms, originally slated for completion in June of 2013, are now likely ready for students to move in around July 2014.
Dana Wavle, vice chancellor for administrative affairs, said though verbal approvals have been given by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, the final confirmations aren't expected for about another week. He said the holidays also added to the delays, but construction has resumed this week.
But he also said over the summer, the bids they received came in with bigger price tags than they expected. When the bids came back in June, the lowest came in at $5.6 million. Excluding professional and internal fees, the university projected a cost of about $4.3 million.
He said they were able to bring the cost of the bids down in the second round by about $500,000, with the remainder of the costs footed by auxiliary bonds and other funds.
Wavle said adjusting specifications in the building project helped save some money.
"Specifically, the original bidding documents solicited bids from general contractors who would sub out the various trades," Wavle said in an email. "We revised the bidding documents to allow the University to solicit bids directly from the various trades. This changed the project from one contract to multiple contracts."
Since the residence halls were introduced in 2008, they've filled to capacity until last year. Wavle said this year, they're still exceeding 90 percent occupancy and don't anticipate any problems filling the new building.
Amanda Stonecipher, director of residence life, said new students are already applying for rooms.
"We currently do not have a waiting list and have few open beds for the spring semester," Stonecipher said. "We have already received several applications from new, incoming students for the 2013-2014 academic year."

We know that FLOTUS (first lady of the United States Michelle Obama) has cheered on the Olympians from the stands in London. But what about POTUS (president of the U.S.), who stayed home?
The White House couldn't say Monday whether President Barack Obama has been watching but thought it likely.
"I know that he was looking forward to the Olympics starting so I'd be surprised if 72 hours into it he hadn't seen it yet," deputy press secretary Josh Earnest said as Obama flew Air Force One to New York for an evening fundraiser. Campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki joked that the Olympics would be forced on to all the plane's TVs to improve the odds.
Here's what could be seen in the back cabin: Korea v. Denmark in handball, and weightlifters from Indonesia and Turkey. No word on what Obama was doing up front.

The 2013 Genuine Scooter Co Buddy is a small sized scooter with all the necessary features to give the rider all the amenities needed for in town travel. The scooter has a very roomy floor board to allow the rider to position his or her feet however they wish. There is no need to contort your legs because of a small framed scooter, despite the smaller engine that it is equipped with. The handle bars are positioned ergonomically in order to keep the rider's hands comfortably spaced apart while keeping the arms at a certain height to minimize the shoulder strain that can be encountered from frequent trips throughout the day. The headlight on the front is perfectly fitted to ensure that night rides do not prevent the rider from seeing all of his or her surroundings. The headlight is sufficiently bright to keep all hazards and other vehicles visible, as well as keeping the rider visible.
The Buddy might have a smaller engine but it does have enough horsepower to allow a descent amount of storage throughout the scooter. There is storage in several areas, including dash storage, helmet storage and underseat storage. This storage combined with the optional basket and color-matched locking topcase ensures a maximum amount of storage available to the rider to accommodate any items acquired throughout the days errands and trips.
The 2013 Genuine Scooter Co Buddy is a Scooter Style Motorcycle equipped with a 50cc, two-stroke, single cylinder engine. This engine has a maximum speed of 30 miles per hour (mph) which is not something that will win you any races however this is not what this scooter was designed to do. It was made with the concept of running in town errands and getting around in short distances. With that in mind, the Buddy has a 1.7 gallon fuel tank which might sound small but when the 100 miles per gallon (mpg) is taken into account, this scooter can travel the distance on very little fuel, making it a very cost effective scooter. The front suspension consists of a telescopic fork front while the rear suspension is a single sided swing arm with a single rear shock absorber. The suspension is not a complicated set up however it does provide sufficient shock absorption for the typical road conditions that this scooter would encounter on a daily ride. The Buddy 50 Lemon head has front hydraulic disc brakes and rear drum brakes. These two systems provide all the braking power necessary for a scooter with a maximum speed of 30 miles per hour.

Comments about Blackburn Airstik 2 Stage Pump:
While using hand pumps is never as fun as CO2 or a floor pump, this one will keep you going in a pinch and you won't have to mess with those silly cartridges. Nothing fancy about this one, but it does the job and stashes in all but the smallest spaces.

U.S. News Releases 2014 Best Online Programs Rankings
Learn which programs placed No. 1 in this year's rankings of online bachelor's and master's programs.
One of the biggest changes to higher education in recent years has been the evolving profile of the average college student. While that student was once full-time, young and financially dependent on loans or other support, today he or she is more likely to be part-time, older and working, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.
"Students today are doing more than one thing," says Karen VanGorder, director of online learning and credit programs at Indiana University-Purdue University—Fort Wayne, a school that offers several online bachelor's programs. "It's just not possible to fit on-campus courses into their schedules and online learning helps them fit it in."
To help students make smart decisions about their online education, U.S. News has released the 2014 Best Online Programs rankings. Now in their third year, the rankings cover online bachelor's degrees and online master's degrees in engineering, business, education, nursing and computer information technology.
[Learn how to tell whether an online program is accredited.]
Nearly 1,000 distance education programs submitted a completed U.S. News questionnaire during the summer of 2013, up from 860 programs the previous year. Only degree-granting programs offering courses entirely online were considered. The rankings are the only ones published that compare data of online degree programs rather than the schools that offer them.
The methodologies behind this year's rankings changed significantly to reflect additional data and statistical processes used to do the calculations. These changes are the primary factors behind why schools moved up and down in the rankings.
For the first time, all six rankings include peer review data based on schools' evaluations of each other. The new rankings also give greater weight to one-year retention rates, graduation rates and required time to graduate. Selectivity has less weight in some of the master's disciplines and again is not a ranking factor used in the online bachelor's programs rankings, since most online undergraduate programs don't require standardized test scores or high school transcripts.
[Discover the Best Online Bachelor's Programs.]
While students don't necessarily need straight A's to get into a top online education program, that doesn't mean they should discount the difficulty of the course work. Experts and online students say online education is just as hard – if not harder – than work in an on-campus program.
"People say it's easy, but that's so far from the truth," says Billie Jo Parker, a 45-year-old woman earning her bachelor's degree at Central Michigan University, which tied for the No. 1 spot among the online bachelor's programs. "You have to be so disciplined and organized. I am tired of coming home, doing dishes and doing homework."
Below is a sampling of some of the top online programs this year.
Bachelor's: Most online undergraduate students study business, according to a June 2013 report by Learning House. Within business, the most popular degrees include business administration and management, accounting and finance.
The online bachelor's rankings saw significant changes as a result of the updated methodology and the higher number of programs evaluated. Central Michigan University moved up from No. 39 last year to tie for first place with SUNY College of Technology—Delhi, which did not submit data to U.S. News for the 2013 rankings. Pace University, which earned the highest distinction last year, tied for third with Pennsylvania State University—World Campus. Westfield State University went from No. 4 last year to a tie at No. 32 this year, while Graceland University fell from fifth to a tie at No. 65.
Business (master's): Indiana University—Bloomington Kelley School of Business was ranked No. 1 on the list of online graduate business degree programs, moving up from third place last year. Arizona State University's Carey School of Business was second on the list, followed by the University of Florida Hough Graduate School of Business. Among the big movers in this category was James Madison University, which rose from 49th place to a tie for the No. 9 spot with Quinnipiac University and Temple University.

The suffragists didn't take the insults by U.S. President William Howard Taft lightly when he addressed their organization, the National American Woman Suffrage Organization– back in April of 1910. Taft had been known to oppose women voting, but perhaps he'd at least be polite in addressing their convention. Instead, he launched into a tirade about how extending the vote to women would be a disaster. The audience hissed, to which Taft said that self restraint was part of the game. Later, the organization officially apologized to Taft, but the point had been made. The women were up against very powerful individuals and interests.
