FORT MILL — Never-ending story? Try storybook ending.
Heres how it goes. Diana Haining lives in County Meath, in eastern Ireland. Her father-in-law, Alan Priestley, lives in Kilcoole, just southeast of there, on the Irish coast. Adoptive parents took in Priestley as a baby during World War II. It wasnt until the passage of the Freedom of Information Act that he learned the name he was given on his birth certificate James William Piper.
Haining took what little information the birth certificate offered and began looking. Ancestry research led to a marriage certificate for Priestleys parents.
And that led to birth records for siblings, including a Dorothy Joan Piper born in Hornchurch, Essex in 1936. Google brought results when Haining searched the name; Dorothy Piper came up as author of a chapter in the The Never Ending Story in the Fort Mill Times.
And that sent Irish eyes to smiling.
The first sentence of the reply read, Congratulations, you have found your family, Haining wrote via email about his first, online interaction with Dorothy Piper, which still sends shivers down my spine to this day.
The idea behind The Never Ending Story began a half-dozen years ago. The thought was to set up a fictional tale and have readers submit chapters to keep the account going.
Author Mignon Ballard, who lived in Fort Mill for 40 years before returning this past summer to her native Calhoun, Ga., agreed to provide the first chapter.
I didnt think it was a good idea, Ballard admitted earlier this week, because I didnt think people would want to do it.
But some did. The story never really took off with regular installments, although readers sent in several more chapters. But Pipers personal story outshines anything else in the series, Ballard said.
Thats an even better story, Ballard said.
Dorothy Piper lived in Indian Land and worked part-time when she penned her chapter Doubts in the summer of 2008.
A brief informational tag at the bottom listed her coming from native England to New Hampshire in 1995 and publishing a childrens book in 2007.
It also listed her age. Haining all but convinced herself that she had the right person from that corroborating information, which she used to track down an email address leading to the celebrated reply.
I have to confess that, upon reading the short bio in your newspaper I experienced my first Eureka! moment during my research, Haining wrote to the Times.
He continued: As I then also knew that Dorothy had published a book, my research then focused on her book and I found a link to a website where Dorothys son mentioned her book and I couldnt believe my luck when I noted that his email address was there in front of my eyes.
Within hours of the first email response, Priestley was on the phone with a sister whom he never knew he had. Since then, Piper visited Ireland and met the family she credits a Never Ending Story chapter with helping find.
As a writer, Piper said she hopes to connect with readers. She just wasnt expecting so life-changing a connection.
Never in my wildest dreams, Piper said.
Piper still lives in Indian Land and is retired. Shes a hobbyist writer who recently submitted a science fiction novel to an English publisher.
Piper still vividly recalls the transatlantic correspondence and calls herself the happy beneficiary of Hainings effort and the wonder of the internet.
Absolute amazement, Piper said. I mean, what are the odds of a person being found as the result of writing a chapter for an online newspaper in Fort Mill 3,000 miles away from Ireland?
Fort Mill Times editor Mike Harrison came up with the idea for the Never Ending Story to engage readers, promote literacy and allow an avenue for creative expression.
When Dorothy told me about finding a brother she never knew she had, I was so happy for her, the part our website played took a little while to sink in, he said.
Harrison is pleased with the projects unintended consequence.
Its pretty ironic that a fiction project could lead to such a heartwarming story in real life, Harrison said. And so close to Christmas!
The timing means a good bit to Piper, too. Over the past four decades, she said, she has become resigned to watching my family become smaller with the progression of years.
But here is Alan, with all his wonderful family, adding a whole new branch to our family tree, she said. And it so nearly might not have happened.
In planning for the first-time reunion in Ireland, both parties learned of Priestleys diagnosis of brain cancer. But he underwent chemotherapy.
He has fought off the disease thus far, met his new family and is regaining his strength after years of helping others find relief as a physiotherapist.
Still separated by miles but no longer by unfamiliarity, the new-found family is now convinced theyre living out a story not yet meant to end.
He was meant to be spared, Piper said. I am convinced of that.

The Consumer's Union finds Unsafe Levels of BPA in Food Packaging
11.05.09 The Consumer's Union finds Unsafe Levels of BPA in Food Packaging
I've been trying to reduce our family's exposure to BPA in canned foods and other food packaging for a long while. I gave up canned soups, canned tomatoes, and other canned veggies because of the BPA in the lining of the can.
Now the Consumer's Union reveals (according to phys.org):
"Children eating multiple servings of some of the tested food could get doses of BPA "near levels that have caused adverse effects in several animal studies," according to the survey by Consumers Union, a nonprofit organization that publishes Consumer Reports.
When you consider that children eating a meal at school are exposed to BPA in the canned goods there, and another exposure or two from waterbottles, food containers and packaging, there is cause for concern. The FDA is STILL completing its study of BPA and will reveal its findings and ruling later this month. Back in 2008, the FDA received much criticism in a draft report stating that BPA is safe in food packaging, making most of its conclusions from two industry funded, outdated studies.
The results of the Consumer's Union study were published in the December 2009 issue and are available in part online. They tested tuna cans, juice cans, soup and sauce cans, some even claiming to be BPA free. I'd really like to get my hands on the full report!
According to the Huffington Post, the Consumer's Union sent a letter to the FDA, urging that they ban BPA in food packaging and drink containers. Huffington Post author Naomi Starkman also does the numbers quite well, comparing the FDA limits and the amounts the Consumers Union found in common foods. Her post says that even one exposure to BPA in food packaging for a child and could reach the limits of safety:
"Several animal studies show adverse effects, such as abnormal reproductive development, at exposures of 2.4 micrograms of BPA per kilogram of body weight per day, a dose that could be reached by a child eating one or a few servings daily or an adult daily diet that includes multiple servings of canned foods containing BPA levels comparable to some of the foods Consumer Reports tested. "
How do you avoid BPA in food packaging?
*Avoid buying canned foods
*Use BPA free bottles, sippies, and water bottles
*Use only glass for storing leftovers
*Do not microwave in plastic
*Buy juice in bottles

Privatization of Government Tasks
Smart contracting of government functions isn't a "race to the bottom"July 14, 2014
Despite decades of proven successes, privatization (along with its cousins, public-private partnerships and outsourcing) is often a contentious subject, as evidenced by a recent article on a report from In the Public Interest (ITPI). The report suggests privatization prompts a race to the bottom in terms of service quality and employee impacts. Yet, while there are certainly cases where privatization fails to meet expectations, there are also many success stories that do not generate headlines.

Reason Foundation's 22nd annual analysis of privatization and outsourcingAugust 1, 2008
Privatization remains a key policy focus as public officials grapple with deteriorating fiscal conditions, according to Reason Foundation's Annual Privatization Report 2008. With as many as 23 states potentially facing budget deficits in fiscal 2009, state governments are increasingly looking for ways to cut costs without cutting services. Enter the private sector.

The PFW staff says Maurice Jones-Drew and Trent Richardson are must-starts and health is a big factor for Ryan Mathews, in this week's fantasy running back tips.
The Bills are surrendering 134.0 rushing yards per game. Browns RB Trent Richardson comes off a strong game vs. Cincinnati (145 combined yards, two scores) and was much better than he was in Week One. With Richardson seemingly in better form, he's just about a must-start for most fantasy owners unless you have stellar RB depth.
Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew has shown little rust the first two weeks after his lengthy contract holdout, but his numbers have been pedestrian because he didn't start in Week One and the Jaguars quickly fell behind last week. Sunday against the Colts represents Jones-Drew's best opportunity thus far to make a big-time fantasy splash, as the Colts, despite holding up fairly well against the run thus far, are far from an upper-tier run defense. With Jaguars QB Blaine Gabbert regressing badly against the Texans in Week Two, look for the Jaguars to feed Jones-Drew as much as he can handle. Though there are many new faces on the Colts' "D," it is worth mentioning that the Jaguars have had their mojo working in recent games against the Colts, with Jones-Drew rushing for at least 100 yards in four of the last five meetings.
Ryan Mathews is expected to return Sunday in the Chargers' game against the Falcons. Keep an eye on him over the next 48 hours, but if Mathews is back, he'll get his touches. The Chargers may still take it slow, as Mathews has been injury prone in his career and they have depth with RBs Ronnie Brown, Curtis Brinkley and Jackie Battle — who had two scores last week. The Broncos had success on the ground against Atlanta last Monday night, and fantasy owners should plug Mathews into their lineups if he is healthy and ready to return. Once he is 100 percent, he has the potential for 25-30 touches a game.
Texans RB Arian Foster is obviously a must-start player each week; the bigger dilemma facing fantasy owners with regards to Houston's backfield is what to do with talented backup Ben Tate. After a very quiet Week One (five carries, six yards), Tate exploded last week against the Jaguars, racking up 97 total yards and a pair of TDs on 16 touches. Of course, the Texans also carried the ball a franchise-record 48 times as they ran roughshod over the hapless Jaguars. The Texans travel to Denver this week, where the Broncos have held the Steelers and Falcons to 2.6 yards per carry in the first two weeks. This figures to be a more closely contested affair, making it unlikely Tate will have as many chances as he did in Week One. Even so, with the Texans' desire to run the football, Tate is a reasonable flex play.
The Dolphins' Week Three game against the Jets will be a tough gauge for those trying to determine if Lamar Miller or Daniel Thomas is a good back to have in deep leagues as Reggie Bush's backup. Thomas had a nice catch-and-run in the season opener before suffering a concussion. He missed Week Two and Miller showed some flashes in his NFL debut, notching a touchdown. The Jets' run defense is very good and it will be difficult even for Bush to find room to run. Week Four's game against Arizona will be a better indicator going forward if you're looking at the Dolphins' backup backs.
Lions RB Mikel Leshoure returned to practice Wednesday, and per the team's website, he shared first-team reps with Kevin Smith when practice was open to media. Leshoure definitely merits a waiver claim, as he could develop into a key part of the running game. Now, should you play him in Week Three? That's a tougher call. He's a reasonable roll-of-the-dice "flex" play in huge leagues, but it's hard to know what to expect of him just yet.
Steelers RB Rashard Mendenhall (knee) has missed the first two games, but he continues to be able to practice. If he returns in Week Three, he could be a decent "flex" in bigger leagues, what with the Raiders surrendering almost 150 yards per game. If he sits, Isaac Redman and Jonathan Dwyer will get the bulk of the carries. Though both would have some value in big leagues, the Steelers' running game has sputtered thus far, and the backs could split carries.
With Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw out with a neck injury for Thursday's game, others will be called on. But owners of rookie RB David Wilson shouldn't get overly excited. Andre Brown will likely handle the majority of the carries, and he was one of the hidden reasons behind the Giants' comeback against the Bucs on Sunday. Brown broke some tackles and picked up the energy, finishing with 71 yards on 13 carries and a TD. Wilson, meanwhile, had only three carries (six yards) and was otherwise restricted to KR duty. He might see some more work — something in the eight-carry range, perhaps — but not much more unless Brown also goes down Thursday.
The fantasy stock of Cardinals RBs Beanie Wells and Ryan Williams could be dropping, as it's starting to look like Ken Whisenhunt will be giving both backs a fairly equal amount of playing time moving forward. In Week Two, Wells ran 14 times for 44 yards, while Williams, who has had problems holding onto the ball but remains a scary big-play threat, rushed 10 times for 13 yards.
Even if Rams featured back Steven Jackson is able to play this Sunday despite a groin injury that has him currently listed as "day to day," you might want to take a flier on Rams rookie RB Daryl Richardson, who close team observers believe could be on the cusp of sharing more time with Jackson after his impressive Week Two performance in the win over Washington (15 carries for 83 yards, two catches for 19 yards). Richardson showed legitimate big-play ability with a 53-yard sideline romp vs. the Skins. It's worth noting that prior soft-tissue injuries have tended to sideline Jackson for several weeks.
The Bears say RB Matt Forté is a fast healer, but he was unable to finish playing in Week Two after injuring his ankle, and he did not practice on Wednesday. We don't expect him to play in Week Three vs. the Rams. If he does, it will likely be in a limited role. Bears RB Michael Bush — who will get the call on the goal line whether Forté plays or not — could handle a heavy workload against St. Louis and is worthy of a start as a No. 2 RB in deeper formats.
With Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart hobbled by a toe/ankle injury, fantasy owners should keep him on the bench this week vs. the Giants. Carolina has not announced that he will not play, but indications are he's dealing with soreness that will keep him from being much of a factor even if he is active. Panthers RB DeAngelo Williams is a decent option as a low-end No. 2 RB/flex this week.

An online journal about visual art, the urban landscape and design. Mary Louise Schumacher, the Journal Sentinel's art and architecture critic, leads the discussion and a community of writers contribute to the dialogue.
A squiggly Milwaukee
Saul Leiter's works are reflective, literally and figuratively.
The shooting in one place at one time is being done to create images for a one-night exhibit and party to take place at the Milwaukee Art Museum on Oct. 13.
The party is being planned in conjunction with a show of Saul Leiter's mid-century, street photography, which opens next week and which I just got my first peek at this afternoon.
A work by Saul Leiter
Unusual for their use of color, a rarity in the 1950s, Leiter's images are abstract, layered, meditative and reflective of their subject matter: the energy and life of the street in New York City's lower East Side in those years.
The Milwaukee area photographers who will be out on Milwaukee street tomorrow will also be using an unusual and largely unrecognized format for their work, in the spirit of Leiter's work. They are being asked to take on lomography, or 35 millimeter cameras with unusual lenses. The cameras emphasize the quick and casual, and involve a sense of chance. The possibility for squiggly distortions at the edges of lomographic images is a constant and hard to control. The shots, at their center, tend to be quite sharp.
Some of those participating tomorrow are Damian Strigens, Hal Rammel, Jenny Bohr, Katherine Biehl, Kat Berger, Jim Schoenecker, Chris Rosenau, Faythe Levine and Anna Helgeson.
The photographers will then submit their work to Cedar Block, the group which is organizing the show and which previously put together the "Nauman 101" event in conjuction with the Bruce Nauman show at MAM. Three jurors will select works for the show. The jurors include Lisa Hostetler, the museums's assistant curator of photography, who put the Leiter show together; Francis Ford, a Milwaukee photographer known for his theatrical images of Milwaukeeans, and Jim Herrington, an accomplished photographer known for his images of musicians such as Willie Nelson.

The pancreas is an organ that contains two basic types of tissue: the acini, which produce digestive enzymes, and the islets, which produce hormones. The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes into the duodenum and hormones into the bloodstream.
The digestive enzymes (such as amylase, lipase, and trypsin) are released from the cells of the acini and flow into the pancreatic duct. The pancreatic duct joins the common bile duct at the sphincter of Oddi, where both flow into the duodenum. The enzymes are normally secreted in an inactive form. They are activated only when they reach the digestive tract. Amylase digests carbohydrates; lipase digests fats; and trypsin digests proteins. The pancreas also secretes large amounts of sodium bicarbonate, which protects the duodenum by neutralizing the acid that comes from the stomach.
The three hormones produced by the pancreas are insulin, which lowers the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood by moving sugar into cells; glucagon, which raises the level of sugar in the blood by stimulating the liver to release its stores; and somatostatin, which prevents the other two hormones from being released.

Those interested in theatre during the summer don't need to go too far. The Heritage Repertory Theatre will soon be starting it's first of six summer plays at the University of Virginia. The first, called 'Rounding Third,' shows the ins and outs of coaching a little league baseball team.
"It's about trying to cope with the competition in America and of course sports has always been a great medium for that and I think the playwright has done it with a wonderful, delightful sense of humor," said cast member Richard Warner.
"Rounding Third" opens on Wednesday and runs through July 9.

INDIANAPOLIS — Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum changed his tune, slightly, on QB Mark Sanchez's timetable to get back on the field after undergoing knee surgery Feb. 17 during his press conference at the Combine Friday.
Tannenbaum told reporters Sanchez would be ready "well" before training camp during a conversation at the Senior Bowl in late January. The general manager was less definitive about Sanchez's return date on Friday.
"We're not exactly sure when he'll be back on the field yet," Tannenbam said. "It'll be before training camp. If I say well before training camp, the trainers will get mad at me, so I can only say before training camp. I'd like to say well before training camp, but he'll be fine. The guy has really worked hard, but we just don't want to put a date on it. It's one of those injuries where everyone recovers at different rates."
Tannenbaum touched on a wide variety of topics and called this a "very important offseason" for WR Braylon Edwards, who Tannenbaum confirmed will be tendered as a restricted free agent before the March 4 deadline. Tannenbaum was adamant that Edwards needed to be heavily involved in offseason workouts and practices with the team, but Edwards didn't show interest in those activities during his time with the Browns. Plus, he won't be able to get on the practice field with Sanchez for some time as the young signalcaller goes through his rehab, which could play a role in his decision on participating in the offseason program.
"It's not the ideal situation, but with that said, there's still things Braylon can do to help himself be successful," Tannenbaum said. "Mark won't be at 100 percent from Day One when we start in a couple of weeks here, but there are still things Braylon can do to help himself."
The Jets are expected to tender Edwards at the highest level, which means a team would have to give up first- and third-round picks to sign him away.
"It's a really important offseason for (Edwards) to be with us all the time," Tannenbaum said. "I really believe the guys we have in the building give him the ability to be a much better player long term by being in our program every day."

The Tribune-Star
Procedural issues in the absentee voting process have officials at odds this week.
Vigo County Republican Party chairman Randall Gentry issued a media statement Thursday, alleging the "mishandling of some 1,600 absentee ballots" by the Vigo County Clerk's office and its component which handles absentee ballots via the mail.
Clerk Pat Mansard responded to the allegations, stating that "every ballot has been accounted for" and described some of the wording used in the release as part of a nationwide "fear-mongering" at the polls this year.
At issue is the lack of a Republican absentee ballot board member on a team that monitors and safeguards the ballot applications and the ballots themselves.
According to Mansard, it is the responsibility of each party's chair to appoint such people to those positions. Meanwhile, Gentry on Thursday said under state law, it's the Vigo County Election Board's responsibility to notify the appropriate chairman when such a vacancy occurs no fewer than 10 days before a ballot process.
According to Gentry, who was elected the local party chairman in September, it has become apparent that Republicans have not been represented on that board for a number of years. No notification of that absence has ever been issued to party officials, he said, stating Mansard's placement of the responsibility on him is "disingenuous."
Mansard maintained that her office operates in a bipartisan manner and that both parties are welcome to become more involved in the process and keep tabs on their workers.
Both agreed that no evidence of tampering exists with any of the approximately 1,600 ballots and applications involved during the period in question. Based on that, Gentry said he won't challenge the ballots for fear of disenfranchising the voters who have already sent in their materials.
"We will never be 100 percent sure that the ballots have not been compromised, but we must not disenfranchise all the voters on pure speculation," he stated in his release.
Mansard said the numbers in Gentry's release amount to a "scary sounding statement."
"I think there's a lot of fear-mongering going on across the country," she said, emphasizing that all ballots have been accounted for and there is no evidence of tampering. Meanwhile, she maintains that it is the responsibility of the party chairman to fill vacancies.
"I'm in the business of encouraging everyone to vote, not just Democrats but Republicans, too," said Mansard, a Democrat.
Gentry said he's contacted the state election commission and local candidates, and while he's not seeking to throw out the ballots, he wants to make the issue known.
"It is clear that Indiana Law was not followed in the processing of absentee ballots in Vigo County and Indiana Law has not been followed for several election cycles," he stated in his release.

Simple, delicious, and with the July 4th holiday just around the corner this would be a great pound cake or short cake topper, not to mention vanilla ice cream! I cut the recipe in half and used Splenda instead of sugar. Great after dinner treat!
Sarah Jo
We all enjoyed this fruit salad very much. I didn't add much sugar, just a couple tablespoons over the strawberries after I'd cut them, then I folded in the blueberries and bananas. At the last, I sprinkled in FRESH lemon juice. I think adding a full half cup of sugar would do a disservice to the natural sweetness of the fruit.
Beautiful, delicious and seasonally appropriate since strawberries and blueberries are plentiful and reasonably priced now. I liked the addition of the bananas, which provided a creamy contrast in texture as well as its role in the "red, white and blue." I skipped the sugar entirely and just gave it a drizzle of honey. This was a perfect and fresh addtion to our Memorial Day Breakfast.

The FISDM Technical Committee is pleased to announce the facilities information spatial data model (FISDM). FISDM is the next generation of the BISDM (building interior space data model) initiative originally launched by PenBay Solutions as an open source project in 2007.
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) July 11, 2014
Geographic information systems (GIS) are technologies with many practical uses for facility managers. GIS allows users to view, understand, question, interpret and visualize data in many ways that reveal relationships, patterns and trends in the form of maps, reports and charts. With FISDM, GIS can now be more easily leveraged by facility managers for portfolio planning and management, operations and maintenance, and safety and security as well as many other applications both indoors and outdoors across real estate portfolios. Attendees of the 2014 Esri International User Conference can learn more during the FISDM Special Interest Group Lunch on July 15th at Noon, in SDCC Room 28D.
FISDM the facilities information spatial data model is not a standard, but a best-practices information model. FISDM helps users apply the power of GIS to cohesively manage building interiors along with their surrounding infrastructure. FISDM is designed to:
BISDM the building interior space data model was established in 2007. The primary focus of BISDM was on applying GIS to interior space planning and management. FISDM is the next generation of BISDM that takes a broader view of facility management and extends the concept to include both interior and exterior built environments across entire campuses, installations and portfolios.
The FISDM technology committee currently includes representatives from PenBay Solutions, Vertex3, Esri, and the University of Washington. The FISDM community invites organizations to get involved by participating in the Review Committee as well as the online forum (coming soon). Organizations that would like to participate in FISDM can submit their request at FISDM.org or email stu.rich(at)fisdm(dot)org.
Industry professionals interested in bringing the visualization and analytical power of GIS to facility management and public safety data and workflows will be able to access the following via FISDM.org:
FISDM is an open source project and all the materials available through FISDM.org are free.
The FISDM open source project is a collection of best practice information models, cartographic designs, templates, and data interoperability tools to help the owners and operators of facilities to get started in building a Facilities GIS. FISDM is first and foremost a pragmatic approach to the storage and management of GIS data related to buildings. The intent is that industry professionals can take the materials from this site and start building a practical Facilities GIS implementation for their own portfolios.

At next week's New York auto show, Cadillac will show off its 2014 CTS model, complete with a new, powerful and efficient twin-turbocharged V-6.
If you can get past all the weird things that happened there, you can own the infamous house for just $550,000.
Hold onto your logs! "Twin Peaks" is coming to Blu-ray this summer, complete with tons of never-before-seen content.
A Hennessey Cadillac CTS-V Wagon bests a Porsche 911 Twin Turbo in a drag race in this Web video.
Agent Dale Cooper, the Log Lady, Audrey Horne, and the rest of the crazy citizens of "Twin Peaks" are back thanks to fans who want to honor the show 25 years since its conclusion.
New from Hennessey Performance, the HPE1000 427LSX Twin Turbo Camaro, which yields 1,021 rw hp and 1,027 rw lb-ft torque at 21 psi boost with C16 race fuel.
The 2014 Volkswagen Jetta TDI offers basic transportation at a bargain and an excellent engine, but techies will want to hold off for the improved 2015 model.
Though big for a Fiat model, the 2014 Fiat 500L is still small for a wagon or crossover that boasts so much interior volume. However, limited tech and performance have us reconsidering the competition.
Magnus Walker, the Urban Outlaw, has a passion for vintage Porsche 911 Turbos, and we went to visit him to find out why.
If you live in Los Angeles and like cherry pie, hot coffee, and dancing in a creepy red room, director David Lynch is looking for the perfect actress to play a waitress in his upcoming "Twin Peaks" promo.

With people watching what they spend in this tough economy, fast food chains are benefiting.
Now a report from "The Cancer Project" names what is says are the un-healthiest choices on the value menus of five leading fast food chains.
Officials with the organization say eating foods high in sodium, saturated fat, and cholesterol can lead to some cancers and other health problems.

The Center for Carbon-free Power Integration (CCPI) at the University of Delaware (UD) fosters interdisciplinary and collaborative scientific research; engages decision makers, industry and civil society and acts as an "honest broker" among them; and enhances the education of the present generation of students with the goal of facilitating the transition to power generation using carbon-free geophysical flows. These power sources include surface wind, geostrophic winds, and ocean currents. Presently, CCPI's primary areas of inquiry are offshore wind power as a means of electricity generation and grid-integrated vehicle (GIV) technology as a means of electricity storage using vehicle-to-grid power (V2G). The center's focus is on electricity and transportation because these two sectors account for the largest fractions of human CO2 production.
Founded in 2008, CCPI traces its V2G roots to the mid-1990s and its offshore wind power roots to 2003. CCPI researchers have appointments in four colleges—Earth, Ocean and Environment (CEOE); Engineering; Business; and Agriculture and Natural Resources, with the center housed administratively within CEOE.
2013 Annual Report
July 2011-December 2012 "Annual" Report
January 2010-June 2011 "Annual" Report and Executive Summary.
CCPI researchers recently (Revised: April 2012) completed a study identifying the spatial uses of the ocean off the coast of Delaware. The Delaware Marine Spatial Planning Project, funded by Delaware Sea Grant, focused on future offshore wind energy development off the coast of Delaware. The study identified existing human and wildlife uses and features of the ocean, highlighted the areas where user conflicts are most likely, and suggested additional data collection and analysis in several fields. This first-order analysis highlights competing interests that will need to be balanced for sustainable and thoughtful development of offshore wind energy off Delaware.
On November 14, 2011, CCPI hosted stakeholders at an offshore wind power workshop that focused on marine spatial planning (MSP) and state policy measures at the historic Queen Theater in Wilmington, Delaware. The workshop and/or its planning were supported by US Dept. of Energy, Delaware/NOAA SeaGrant, UD's College of Earth, Ocean and Environment and the Magers Family.

Seattle University is committed to providing students with disabilities an equal opportunity to participate in its classes and activities. This goal is fundamental to its belief in social justice. To achieve this goal, faculty and staff work to remove barriers in physical access, communication, attitudes, and policies that can prevent students from taking part in programs. In addition, the University provides supplemental support services through the Disabilities Services office.
Students with disabilities have physical or mental conditions that significantly interfere with their basic functioning. Although these conditions usually are unrelated to the ability to learn or master material, they can affect the manner in which these students perform academic tasks. Many of the conditions, such as chronic mental or physical illnesses, learning disabilities, and moderate/severe hearing loss, are "invisible", and therefore are not readily apparent to others.
In order to receive services for disabilities, a student must provide medical, psychological, or psycho-educational information (documentation) that conforms to the guidelines stated in Requirements for Documentation of Disabilities.
After receiving documentation and consulting with the student, Disabilities Services staff determines adjustments that the student requires in order to access University programs. All such decisions are specific to the type and severity of the student's needs and the classes or activities involved. The documentation must clearly support the need for these adjustments. The roles and responsibilities for determining and providing accommodations are described in Procedures for the Implementation of Academic Accommodations for Students with Disabilities.
Decisions regarding accommodations can become complex, and challenge the knowledge and wisdom of all involved. This occurs most frequently in atypical classroom situations, on field trips and in internships. In such situations, Disabilities Services staff can work with faculty, staff and the student to devise approaches that will open opportunity to the student as much as possible.
There are, of course, limits to the accommodations that the University can guarantee for students. The goal in providing accommodations is to ensure access to the educational opportunities of the University. Adjustments cannot be made that limit or fundamentally alter those educational opportunities by changing the amount or quality of the learning required. For more information, see Determining Essential Requirements and Standards. The University also cannot allow situations that are unduly burdensome or that are dangerous to students, faculty or staff.
It is important to note that all students are admitted to the University under the same admissions criteria. The University neither lowers admissions standards nor waives requirements for applicants with disabilities. Students with disabilities must earn their grades based on criteria applicable to all students.

The care and treatment of the area's youngest trauma patients continues to be the mission that organizers have chosen for the sixth annual Conemaugh Health Foundation's "Our Community, Our Children" chef auction.
The event will be held at 5 p.m. Oct. 9 at the Frank J. Pasquerilla Conference Center, 301 Napoleon St. in downtown Johnstown.
Debbie Costlow, associate director of the Conemaugh Health Foundation, said funds will benefit pediatric and teenage trauma and surgical patients at Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center.
" 'Our Community, Our Children' chef auction began because Amanda Artim's vision was all about doing something good for the community and making people realize that one person can truly make a difference," Costlow said.
"Her vision has not only become a reality, but continues to grow beyond everyone's expectations."
Last year, the trauma center treated 118 pediatric patients; 45 pediatric patients with head injuries; 15 bicycle accidents; two burns in children under the age of 15; 45 teenage motor vehicle accidents; and 52 ATV accident victims.
The chef auction provides guests with gourmet samplings from local chefs of the area's most prominent restaurants.
Artim, founder and chairwoman of the chef auction, dedicates her time and passion to making the event a success year after year.
"When we first began this event, things were on a much smaller scale," Artim said.
"I believe we started with seven chefs participating."
Now, nearly six years later and more than $150,000 raised, she has surpassed the original goal of renovating six pediatric rooms, providing a new lounge for visitors and siblings in the pediatric unit and providing equipment for the regional intensive care nursery."
More than $48,000 was raised last year.
To assist in the effort, 10 executive chefs will serve their best dishes for auction patrons.
There will be an open bar, appetizers and a silent auction. Tastings will begin at 6, and the live chef auction will begin at 7:30.
Participating restaurants are Anthony's, Amici's, Asiago's Tuscan Italian, The Boulevard Grill, Harrigan's Café & Wine Deck, Joey Del's 2001 Caterers, Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, Omni Bedford Springs Resort, Seven Springs Resort and Sunnehanna Country Club.
In addition to the executive chefs, the auction will include notable cooks visiting the homes of winning bidders for cooking demonstrations, to prepare a meal or to offer wine pairings.
"We also have a select number of restaurants and individuals donating additional packages for the event," Artim said.
One of the packages will feature a meal at the home of Mary and Ivar Berge of Westmont.
"They have traveled the world and each year they host a dinner with a different theme and cuisine," Artim said.
"They will open their home to a lucky bidder and serve an unforgettable meal."
The couple's theme last year was California, and featured items either grown or produced there, Mary Berge said.
"We welcome six guests into our home and we are in the kitchen and they relax in the dining room," Berge said. "I'm the sous-chef and Ivar is the head chef."
The couple also has hosted dinners with French and Scandinavian themes.
Because of their close association with Rotary Club International, they are able to travel extensively.
"We are culinary travelers," she said.
"Just this year alone, we have been in nine countries."
The Berges offer from six to eight courses with appropriate wines.
Bidders will have an interesting twist to the Berges newest theme called "Anything Goes."
"The winning bidder will have each of the guests pick an ingredient and we will incorporate it into the meal," she said.
Other packages have been donated by Back Door Cafe, Rizzo's Restaurant, Chef Ryan Smith and Green Gables Restaurant.
Several winners will be selected through a "sweepstakes," when through the course of the evening patrons may purchase chances on packages that range in value, number of guests and type of dinner.
In gratitude for the care given to her son, Artim wanted to "pay it forward" and help lift the spirits of children who spent time in the pediatrics unit.
Initially, Artim's goal was to renovate six patient rooms in Conemaugh's unit, which has been completed.
The rooms have been transformed by the painting of murals, curtains, cabinetry, and many more details.
Now that the unit has been updated, Artim wanted to continue helping the hospital's youngest patients.
"I designed the fundraiser with the idea that it would extend beyond the pediatrics unit renovation project and continue to raise money to benefit the greatest patient needs in the Conemaugh Health System dealing strictly with children," Artim said.
What: "Our Community, Our Children" sixth annual chef auction.
Where: Pasquerilla Conference Center, 301 Napoleon St. in downtown Johnstown.
When: 5 p.m. Oct. 9.
Reservations: Debbie Costlow, 534-3132 or email@example.com.
Cost: $75 per person.

While transportation managers and ecologists praise the work at home movement for its fuel savings, Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer says it is hurting creativity.
Mayer, whose company pioneered the concept of having the world of information at your fingertips, is now ordering those fingers to come to the office fulltime by June. Mayer joined Yahoo! last April after reaching the higher airs of Google.
She set an example against working from home by taking only two weeks of maternity leave after giving birth to her first child, son Macallister Bogue, on Sept. 30. She shocked some by saying that raising her first child was "easy."
Now she's cracked the whip for Yahoo's 14,000 employees, saying they are missing the creativity and water cooler collaboration that comes with working in an office.
The director of Santa Cruz's People Power, an alternative transportation group, wasn't happy about the news.
"Telecommuting helps reduce vehicle miles graveled and is a policy that helps rather than detracts form our environmental goals," said Amelia Conlen. "It's a policy we support."
Mayer is the fourth CEO at Yahoo! in four years.

Jonathan Tropper discusses his novel This Is Where I Leave You in a video interview and a text Q&A...
A Conversation with Jonathan Tropper about his 2010 novel This is Where I Leave You
What inspired you to write a book about a fairly secular family observing a traditional Hebrew mourning ritual? Did this situation or premise motivate you to write the book, or was it Judd Foxman's distinctive voice that developed first?
This novel was always first and foremost Judd's book. As a matter of fact, I was writing his story before the idea of the shiva ever occurred to me. I wanted to tell the story of a man who loses everything that he thought defined who he was; his marriage, his career, his home. For me, it was going to be a very intimate look at one man's rock bottom. But then, around a hundred pages in, I wrote a chapter where Judd goes to see his nuclear family - for his father's seventieth birthday, actually. And in writing Judd's siblings and mother, I found that the novel came alive in a way it hadn't up until then. So I decided I had to turn the novel over to them. But what would make a guy in Judd's situation go spend any significant amount of time with his ...

On Oct. 7, 1929, former Interior Secretary Albert B. Fall, one of the main figures of the Teapot Dome scandal, went on trial in Washington, D.C., charged with accepting a bribe from oil tycoon Edward L. Doheny. (Fall was found guilty and sentenced to a year in prison and fined $100,000; he ended up serving nine months. Ironically, Doheny was acquitted at trial of offering the bribe that Fall was convicted of taking.)
