Rachel Rabinowitz
One of my clearest childhood memories is playing in the BMA's sculpture garden—actually climbing on the sculptures. I work in the art world now, but I've always had a life in art. I grew up around my mother's art studio, and my grandparents, Israel and Selma Rosen, were collectors in Baltimore in the 1940s and 50s. They'd go to New York to buy art, and they probably would've liked to buy Old Masters. But they bought what they could afford, and, as it turned out, their instincts were excellent—one of the most important prints Picasso ever made, Minotauromachy, and Robert Rauschenberg's groundbreaking lithograph Accident are among them. They are now at the BMA. The Museum gives you this kind of amazing access—and it's like the artworks become your friends. They're much more vigilant about kids playing on the sculptures these days, but for me, and for so many others, the BMA still feels like home.

Master of Public Administration Related Links
Our Mission is to prepare students to be successful public and nonprofit administrators and managers in today's metropolitan and global environment.
The Master of Public Administration (MPA) program requires 36 semester credit hours of approved course work. Requirements for the MPA degree include:
- 21 credit hours of core courses
- 3 credit hours of a culminating project (URS 7070 or 7080), or 6 credit hours of thesis (URS 7090)
- 3 credit hours of internship (waived for students with appropriate professional experience)
- 9 to 12 credit hours of elective courses
MPA core courses develop an understanding of the dynamic context in which public and nonprofit professionals operate. The broad range of knowledge and skills required for successful and ethical public/nonprofit management are reflected in the topical areas addressed in the core MPA courses: understanding the context and significance of public and nonprofit management and administration; effectively managing organizational change; developing and managing capital and operating budgets; thinking strategically and evaluating public policies and programs; managing human resources; developing and applying sound methods for conducting research and collecting information; analyzing, interpreting, managing data and information to guide decisions; and analyzing and prescribing meaningful solutions to social and organizational problems.
The MPA curriculum combines theory and practice to enhance understanding of relevant public policies and their effects on administrative processes and outcomes. In most MPA courses, "real world" problems are examined to illustrate relevant legal and/or theoretical concepts and analyze potential solutions. In addition, some MPA courses utilize service-learning which allows students to apply learned concepts to analyze and potentially solve actual problems faced by public/nonprofit organizations and/or communities in the local region. This blend of theory and practice enhances students' understanding of and capacity for success in public service.
When completing the MPA culminating experience, students have the option of choosing the Capstone Project, the Applied Research Project, or the MPA Thesis. In the Capstone and Applied Research options, students apply sound research methodologies to study and analyze "real world" problems experienced by communities, public agencies, or nonprofit organizations and make recommendations to improve or solve the problems. The Capstone Project utilizes small student teams while the Applied Research Project and the MPA Thesis are performed individually. Advisors are available to help students choose the most appropriate option to satisfy their academic and professional needs.
Go to Pursuing a Master of Public Administration for more information, including admission requirements.
For additional information, or to set up an appointment to discuss the program, contact:
Dr. Mary Wenning, MPA Program Director
(937) 775-3506

"I ordered these with the opal shine, which adds a nice touch worth the tiny extra. I received lots of compliments from other moms on how cute the invite was! Went perfect from my daughters pool party under the sea theme! I know Tiny Prints is part of shutterfly now but tiny prints quality is definitely a step above shutterfly"
"The paper is high quality, the printing is perfect. All I can say is thank you for making my invitations perfect for my party. I am more pleased than I can even express."
"I used this card for my twins 1st bday pool bash and was able to make it work with two names and the "1" inside the ball! It was so cute and easy to coordinate colors with :) Steph"
"The finished product was EXACTLY as pictured online with regard to coloring and picture print quality. This invitation turned out absolutely adorable and the paper quality was great. I highly recommend this cute invitation!"
"The design is well done. The paper is good quality thickness. People commented about how they liked the card--perfect for our party at the waterpark. The printed area is a little limited, so we had to take out some info we wanted to include. We got the cards with the rounded edges for a few cents more. It made the card look really nice. We are very happy with this choice."

'Widescreen Wonders' Series Continues at the Clark with Free Screening of Ben-Hur
For Immediate Release
January 14, 2013
Williamstown, MA—As part of its ongoing "Widescreen Wonders" film series, the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute presents a free screening of Ben-Hur (1959, 217 minutes) on Saturday, January 26 at 2 pm. William Wyler's epic of the Roman Empire in Palestine stars Charlton Heston and a cast of thousands in a jaw-dropping spectacle that garnered a record-breaking eleven Academy Awards—a feat that was not matched until 1997's Titanic.
The film, adapted from Lew Wallace's 1880 novel Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ, was the most expensive ever made at the time, and its sets were the largest yet built for a film. The legendary nine-minute chariot race, involving seventy-eight Lipizzan and Arabian horses, has become one of the most famous sequences in cinema.
"Widescreen Wonders" is a free series of Saturday afternoon matinees celebrating the biggest and best of popular classic movies, while showcasing the Clark's HD projection capacity. All the films in the series boast super-widescreen aspect ratios (2.20:1 or more) and numerous Academy Awards, including "Best Picture." Experience the scope of epic moviemaking in this festival of the big screen.

Lady Saints Cruise to 25-point Win at Georgia College
Contact David Beall, email@example.com
MILLEDGEVILLE, GA – The North Georgia women's basketball team jumped out to an early lead on Wednesday evening and never looked back with 71-46 victory over in-state rival Georgia College at the Centennial Center in Peach Belt Conference action.
The Lady Saints (12-11, 6-8) break out of a two-game slump and stay on track to claim the fourth and final spot in the west division in the upcoming PBC Tournament, while the Bobcats' (4-19, 2-12) woes continue as they drop their seventh straight game.
North Georgia was red hot from the field early, knocking down seven of their first 10 shots to jump out to a four-point lead at 14-10. Amanda Rector fueled the early spurt, hitting a pair of three-pointers in the opening minutes as she finished in double figures for the first time in her young career, putting up 14 points adding four rebounds.
Jaymee Carnes was her usual self in the first half, coming alive midway through the half and hitting jumpers and off balance layups from all over the court to send the Lady Saints to a comfortable 37-24 lead heading to intermission.
The Lady Saints cruised over the final 10 minutes and took their largest of the night with nine seconds remaining when Kari McCann knocked down a three-pointer, her only basket of the night, to send North Georgia to a 71-46 victory on the road.
Carnes continued her stellar 2012 campaign, scoring a game-high 25 points and adding 14 rebounds for yet another double-double for the nation's leading scorer. The sophomore was 7-for-13 from the field and 11-for-14 from the charity stripe. On the defensive side of the court Carnes added four blocks on the night and currently sits fourth in the nation with 3.27 blocks per contest.
The Bobcats were led by Shanteona Keys who went 7-for-16 from the floor for a team-high 23 points in 35 minutes of action. She also committed half of Georgia College's 16 turnovers in the loss.
The Lady Saints return to the hardwood over the weekend, welcoming Georgia Southwestern to town on Saturday afternoon. Tip-off is slated for 1:30 p.m. in Memorial Hall.
Saturday's contest against the Hurricanes will be a "Play 4Kay" game, part of the WBCA's nationwide initiative to raise money and awareness for breast cancer research.
North Georgia seniors will also be honored Saturday, as Lindsey Moss and Kari McCann play in one of thier last home contests for the Lady Saints.

It was more like a homeless shelter, there were people actually living in hostel getting up and going to work, long term not travellers. Some kept weeks supplies of food under their bed which can't be good for the hygiene of the room. We booked in to a dorm and expected to get a bed each but instead we were put in a double bunk bed...?!?! The breakfast is a bit of toast and no one actually uses a dish soap to clean! "

Left to right: David S. Cohen, Daniel L. Glaser, Adam J. Szubin
It is a high-wire act for the Treasury's Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence (TFI): Cohen and his team must craft policies that hurt Iran enough to force its leaders back to the negotiating table while trying to minimize damage to oil markets and allies like India and Japan that have agreed to participate in sanctions despite long trading histories with Iran.
Then there are questions about how effective economic sanctions really are, and whether they may backfire -- unifying the Iranian public around their intransigent leaders. But sanctions are pretty much the only game in town right now when it comes to U.S.-Iran policy, despite a recent news report saying Iran had agreed to talks. (The White House denies it.)
MORE: Washington gets tough on Iran (sometimes)
The absence of other options puts pressure on Cohen, Glaser, and Szubin, who worked under Cohen's predecessor, Stuart Levey, to help lay the groundwork for the sanctions that are now responsible for hurting Iran's currency.
Cohen, undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, is the group's most visible member. The 49-year-old spends a good deal of time selling the sanctions program at home and abroad -- and smoothing feathers when corporate interests are affected.
Szubin, director of the office of foreign-asset control, is a lawyer by training who joined TFI in 2004 when it was just getting off the ground. Glaser, assistant secretary for terrorist financing, joined the Treasury in 1996 as a junior staff attorney and worked his way up to director of TFI's predecessor agency.
MORE: Standard Chartered pays $340 million to settle Iran charges
Their work across multiple presidential administrations (the U.S. has had sanctions against Iran for decades) suggests that Szubin and Glaser are more interested in policy than politics. They say national security is their priority and that it comes before concerns about the domestic economy or the impact of their actions on U.S. relations with Asian countries. The team is also clearly aware of its place in the broader effort to shift Iran's nuclear calculations -- and in the overall dance of diplomacy. "Sanctions are not a replacement for policy," Glaser notes. "Sanctions serve a policy." And so, while not very sexy, they may be the one tool left that can help prevent a new military confrontation in the Middle East.

Food is crap- wait staff is worse – I went to this place on a slow Monday afternoon. The manager (I'm assuming he was the manager because the rest of the staff were women) was on the phone and saw me come in. He walked away and I sat for a half hour while he chased one of the waitresses around with a broom. 30 minutes at least. Once I got my bland burger he knocked over my drink running past me, turned around and said "just put that anywhere" and the whole staff started cracking up. Didn't get a napkin to clean up, nothing. They also had a lot of blacks in there. I'll NEVER go here again

Pentagon Rejects Speaker Pelosi's Request for Military Aircraft
Citing Security Concerns, Speaker Wants Aircraft That Can Handle Nonstop Cross-Country Flight
By JAKE TAPPER
Feb. 7, 2007 — - A source close to the controversy over the request made by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., for use of a military plane that can fly to and from her home district in San Francisco without having to stop to refuel, told ABC News that the Pentagon has rebuffed Pelosi's request.
The source said that Pentagon officials and the Bush administration have instead offered Pelosi use of the same plane made available to former Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill.: a C-20, which seats about 12 passengers and five crew members.
A C-20 can make the 700-mile flight to Hastert's Aurora, Ill., district easily but would generally have to stop to refuel to complete the 2,800-mile trip from Washington, D.C. to the San Francisco Bay Area, depending on the headwinds.
Pelosi has expressed concern about having to stop and refuel, primarily for security reasons, her office said. Since 9/11, the speaker of the House -- second in line behind the vice president to succeed the president -- has received what the Air Force refers to as "shuttle service," the use of military planes to travel for security reasons. Hastert used a C-20, the military version of the Gulf Stream 3 business jet, a twin-engine turbo-fan aircraft that seats 12 passengers with a crew of five.
Pentagon spokesman Cmdr. J.D. Gordon outlined the rules and restrictions governing Speaker Pelosi's use of the C-20:
No more than 10 passengers (C-20's seat only 12 passengers, not including up to 5 crew members);
No travel to political events;
Members of the speaker's family cannot fly unless the speaker makes a request in writing. The Pelosi family has to reimburse the U.S. Treasury for the cost of a coach ticket per person for the travel, as well as for any food;
Members of Congress cannot fly on the plane unless their travel has been cleared with the House Committee on Standards (the Ethics Committee);
Pelosi's husband can travel for free, but only for official protocol purposes.
In response to the Pentagon's offer, Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly told ABC News, "We appreciate the Defense Department's continuing concern for the speaker's security. We are reviewing their letter."
Pelosi: I Want an Aircraft That Will Reach California
Earlier today, Pelosi responded to Republican critics who have accused her of making unreasonable demands on the Pentagon for a luxurious airplane her Republican predecessor never requested.
"I want an aircraft that will reach California," Pelosi told reporters Wednesday afternoon, insisting that she doesn't care what kind of plane it is as long as it can fly nonstop to her home district.
Pelosi said news reports suggesting that she seeks a lavish jet suggest a "misrepresentation that could only be coming from the administration. One would wonder why the practice deemed to be necessary from a security standpoint would be mischaracterized in the press. I know that it's not coming from the president, because he impressed upon me the amount of security I need to have."
Because the C-20 generally would need to stop and refuel to make it all the way to the Bay Area, Pelosi requested a plane that could make it to California without having to stop along the way, and asked for clarification from the Pentagon about whether friends and colleagues could accompany her.
Various Republican officials in recent days have claimed that Pelosi has requested a C-32 plane for her travels -- a luxurious and specially configured version of the Boeing 757-200 commercial intercontinental airliner. The plane seats 45 passengers with business-class accommodations and a crew of up to 16, depending on the mission. It features a communications center, a fully enclosed stateroom for the primary passenger, a changing area, a conference facility, an entertainment system, and a convertible divan that seats three and folds out to a bed. The C-32 can cost as much as $22,000 an hour to operate. It's normally used by the first lady, the vice president, Cabinet officials and members of Congress upon request.
"Just a month into the new Democratic majority, we are talking about the costs of an arrogance of office," said Republican Conference Chairman Adam Putnam of Florida at a briefing for reporters Tuesday. "The same week she is talking about fiscal responsibility, she is requesting a jumbo jet to taxi her back and forth from her district, something that is a major deviation from the previous speaker. Certainly, it is the interest of someone who is in the presidential succession to have access to a secure aircraft, but this is not a routine military charter flight. This is Air Force Three."
Late Wednesday afternoon, one of Pelosi's closest allies in the House, Rep. John Murtha, D-Penn., chairman of the key Appropriations Committee subcommittee on defense, told CNN that the Pentagon was making "a mistake" by leaking information unfavorable to the speaker "since she decides on the allocations for the Department of Defense."
I'll C-20 and Raise You
House Minority Whip Roy Blunt, R-Mo., seems to be the one who first publicly raised the notion that the plane Pelosi requested is the C-32.
"I understand on this particular airplane there is a bedroom," Blunt said.
"I hadn't heard that," Putnam said.
"There is a stateroom," Blunt said. "It is kind of a flying Lincoln bedroom."
A Blunt aide said he first heard that the plane Pelosi requested had a bedroom on CNN's "Lou Dobbs" Monday evening. "She could take a circus with her, for crying out loud," Dobbs said.
A Democratic aide maintained that this was all nonsense.
"The Republicans and the administration are intentionally mischaracterizing this," the aide said. "This is a security issue, and that's it. They've got nothing else to talk about so they make this up."
The Hastert Precedent
The controversy began in December 2006, when House Sergeant at Arms Bill Livingood first told Pelosi that the Air Force had made an airplane available to Hastert to travel to and from his district after 9/11.
But, Livingood said in a statement, he "was uncertain of the rules and guidelines governing use of the plane" so he called the Pentagon and Air Force to seek clarification of the guidelines. Subsequently, several members of Pelosi's staff and members of the Office of the Sergeant at Arms met with officials from the Pentagon and the Air Force liaison office to discuss the rules and guidelines that governed Hastert's use of a plane.
On Feb. 1, unnamed administration and congressional sources leaked to the Washington Times that Pelosi was "seeking regular military flights not only for herself and her staff but also for relatives and for other members of the California delegation. A knowledgeable source called the request 'carte blanche for an aircraft any time.'"
On Tuesday, Feb. 6, House Republican leaders began accusing Pelosi of arrogance and hypocrisy, and calling the plane "Pelosi One."
Pelosi and her aides said all she cares about is that the plane is able to fly direct to her home district in San Francisco without having to stop and refuel. Capt. Herb McConnell, the spokesman for the 89th Airlift wing at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, said the C-20 is sometimes "able to make a coast-to-coast flight at times during the year, but not when there are strong headwinds such as during the winter."
Rewarding Supporters?
Republican leaders have also stated -- with no tangible evidence -- that Pelosi wants to use the plane to reward financial contributors.
"She was offered the same aircraft that the previous speaker had," Putnam said yesterday. "It sat 12 people, and she refused it, didn't think it was big enough for all of her friends and supporters. In fact, she specifically requested that supporters be able to travel."
Said Blunt, "If you can take your supporters in the air on a government plane, that is a pretty big perk to be able to offer, I would think, whether you are the speaker or anybody else."
Putnam said that this was hypocritical, since "this just after we passed a ban on flying on corporate aircraft and a ban on flying with lobbyists, and yet she is requesting that supporters/lobbyists be allowed to fly on a military aircraft that the taxpayers are picking up the tab for," Putnam said. He called for Pelosi to provide public manifests of the itineraries and costs of the flight, which one congressional source said might cost as much as $22,000 an hour to operate, and to provide some way for the public to make sure political contributors weren't receiving free trips at taxpayers' expense.
Pelosi's office denied that she wanted anyone to be able to travel on the plane other than those Hastert was able to bring along -- security, staff, family and members of Congress going to the same airport.
"It has nothing to do with family and friends and everything to do with security," Pelosi said Wednesday. The sergeant at arms, she said, thinks "there is a need for this security. They have asked for it to continue. It is up to the Air Force and administration to do that."
Democrats suspected Bush administration operatives of stoking the flames of what Democrats deem a nonstory. The White House today was asked if it's "a good idea" for Pelosi to "have a large government military jet available to her to go back and forth to California?"
"After Sept. 11, the Department of Defense -- with the consent of the White House -- agreed that the speaker of the House should have military transport," replied White House spokesman Tony Snow. "And so what is going on is that the Department of Defense is going through its rules and regulations and having conversations with the speaker about it. So Speaker Hastert had access to military aircraft and Speaker Pelosi will, too."
The White House deferred all questions about the size of the plane to the Pentagon.
Air Force spokeswoman Lt. Col Cathy Reardon tells ABC News that when Hastert used the plane, "it was himself, and he usually had one to three staff members and two security staff -- members of the Capitol police force. His wife would sometimes fly, and he reimbursed the government for everyone," paying the government for the cost of a commercial flight to the same place. Hastert's office did not return a call for comment.
Reardon recalls that "shuttle service" began when as a result of 9/11 all commercial airports were closed. "It was a time of great uncertainty, so right after 9/11, Speaker Hastert requested from the Department of Defense airlift support because of airport closures and his position" in presidential succession.
"In 2003, the increased security environment and his vulnerability in a commercial airport led to agreements with DOD for him to use 89th Airlift Wing assets," Reardon says.
A Fourth Option?
There are four types of planes available at the 89th Airlift wing, at nearby Andrews Air Force Base -- the C-20 Hastert once used, C-21s which are even smaller than the C-20 and thus not able to fly nonstop to San Francisco, and the fabled C-32.
There is also the C-37A -- a military version of the Gulf Stream 5, which is about the same size as the C-20, but is able to fly nonstop to California. One military source who asked not to be identified says that it may be that Pelosi and her aides were shown a C-37A and didn't understand that it was different and more potent than a C-20, since they look so similar.
Would Pelosi be willing to use a smaller plane than the lavish C-32 as long as it could fly coast to coast?
"Yes," said a Pelosi aide.
White House takes Pelosi's side, saying plane flap is 'silly,' 'unfair'
February 9, 2007
WASHINGTON – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi received some rare help yesterday from the White House against a barrage of Republican criticism over how she intends to get back home.
For security reasons, Pelosi, D-San Francisco, is entitled to fly to her district on military planes, as former Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., did.
The House sergeant-at-arms, who helps oversee security for the chamber, suggested that flying nonstop would be the safest way home for Pelosi, who is second in line to succeed the president.
But Republicans, led by aggressive junior lawmakers, accused Pelosi of extravagance – of wanting to fly on the military equivalent of a Boeing 757 with the latest in travel comforts.
Too expensive, some critics said. Too polluting, others said. Too much ado about nothing, the White House said.
To White House press secretary Tony Snow, this was "a silly story and I think it's been unfair to the speaker."
Pelosi also spoke out yesterday. "I have never asked for any larger plane," she said. "I have said that I am happy to ride commercial if the plane they have doesn't go coast to coast."
During debate on a bill that encouraged research on advanced fuels, Republicans proposed an amendment urging planes diversify their fuel load to include "domestically produced alternative fuels."
The amendment singled out "passenger planes with 42 business-class seats capable of transcontinental flights" – exactly the specifications of an Air Force C-32 jet.
"The jet that Pelosi has produces 10,000 pounds of carbon dioxide an hour, far more than the previous speaker used," said Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C. Hastert was able to fly home to Illinois nonstop on a commuter-size Air Force jet.
Even Snow came under fire from fellow Republicans.
"He does not have a duty, as I do, to come to this floor and to discuss the consequences for our taxpayers," said Rep. John Shadegg, R-Ariz.
After the Sept. 11 attacks, the Bush administration agreed to provide Hastert with a military plane for added security.
House Sergeant-at-Arms Bill Livingood said he recommended that the Pentagon continue the practice of flying the speaker back home.
"The fact that Speaker Pelosi lives in California compelled me to request an aircraft that is capable of making nonstop flights for security purposes," he said.

Have you guys gotten a look at Beyonce lately? The pregnant singer is definitely showing (that was evident when she debuted her pregnancy almost a month ago), but she isn't hiding her belly under hoodies and frocks. Instead, Beyonce's walking around in some of the hottest maternity wear around. (Please, nobody show this gallery to the 16 and Pregnant girls.)

In terms of the political calculus, GHG regulation faces an uncertain future, at least into 2013. And as a flood of cheap gas erodes the perception of an impending environmental crisis,...
Carbon Costs: The Coming Battle
Where are prices going, and where have they been?
revenues with rising clearing prices, but flat generation costs. On a dollar-per-megawatt-hour basis, natural-gas units will tread water primarily by absorbing the cost but being compensated to nearly the same degree. Losers will be coal and liquid generation units that will see cost increases outstrip the increases in power prices. Coal will be hit doubly for both off peak and peak as nuclear generation comes on line, growing the "clean stack" for off-peak power and squeezing coal out of hours where spark spreads are now still strong.

Clemens Center
207 Clemens Center Parkway,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Keeney's Theatre opened December 21, 1925 as a vaudeville and silent movie theater. At that time it had 2,500 seats. By 1941 it was operated by Warner Bros. Circuit Management Corp.
It was remodeled in around 1953 for the Dipson chain by architect Michael J. DeAngelis, and was known as the Elmira Theater.
Today, known as the Clemens Center, it is a performing arts center which opened around 1977. There is a history page on the Clemens Center website with more information.

When this palace closed as a movie house, it was called the Elmira Theatre and was run by the Dipson chain. They replaced it with the Elmira 1-2-3, which opened in 1977 a block away on College St, now closed. The street in front of the original theater was widened, thus the building lost its lobby building and back part of the auditorium. A new front was placed over the wound, and the house reopened as the Clemens Center. The street was renamed Clemens Center Parkway. Entrance is now at the left of the building.
Thanks Joe. So, this theater needs another aka name of Elmira Theater.
According to Cinema Tour the Elmira Theatre architect was Michael J. Deangelis and the address was 111 College. The Elmira was remodeled around 1953 to accommodate a CinemaScope screen and new seats. If the Clemens was also known as the Elmira and the Keeney's, then I wonder why it gives different addresses? I would love to see an exterior photo of the Clemens Center.
I just viewed an artist rendering of the Clemens Center and it can't be what was called the Elmira Theatre at 111 College.
If I understand the comment posted by Joe Masher, there were two Elmira theaters. When the first Elmira theater (Clemens Center) closed, it was replaced with the Elmira 1-2-3 located on College Ave. Keeney's Theater, Elmira Theater and Clemens Center are This theater. The Elmira 1-2-3 triplex is the Elmira theater on College Ave which is not listed on CT.
This website has a photo showing the Elmira Theater. Since its from the 60's, it should be this Elmira theater.
Well, that is quite the photo and is certainly the Elmira Theater, the theater in question for so many of us! The 1950's downtown Elmira map is neat to view, too. Thanks so very very much!
The Elmira mystery is pretty much solved, I think. :) But the Elmira triplex still needs to be listed here.
Here is a recent photo of the Clemens Center. Is this the front or the rear of the building?
The latest photo is of the front of the building. The demolished the original lobby building, and cut off the very back part of the auditorium. The photo above is the new front that was put on it. The Elmira 1-2-3 on College St. is not this theater. It is a completely separate building that opened about a block away in the 1977.

FALLON — In the midst of a challenging economy, the 2012 Nevada Small Farm Conference looks to agriculture to help communities rebuild local economies.
Western Nevada College will host this year's Nevada Small Farm Conference, March 8 through 10, at the Fallon Convention Center and Western Nevada College Fallon campus. The event includes four pre-conference workshops, two days of farming seminars and a Friday evening reception. A variety of topics will be covered, including marketing local beef, small-scale cheese operations, organic farming, hops and barley production, food distribution, business planning and more.
Developing local food systems is a priority of the conference. Speakers from the 2011 conference will return to continue talks aimed at developing a system for small farms to compete in today's industrial food system. U.S. Foods produce specialist Mike Catalano attended the 2011 conference and later visited local farms, resulting in US Foods working to ensure that Reno customers have access to local produce.
The Great Basin Community Food Co-op will talk about its new online ordering and distribution system for small farms. The program debuts with the opening of the newly expanded co-op this spring.

Needs a person to weigh it down, Ko Ra, Southern Thailand
Needs a person to weigh it down, Ko Ra, Southern Thailand
Taken on: 21st March, 2012. Copyright: All Rights Reserved - See travelfishery's page of Flickr
Read more about Ko Ra
Despite its relatively close proximity to the town of Khuraburi along Thailand's west coast, the long, thin and rugged island of Ko Ra is one of the country's more remote islands with accommodation, and is a good choice for those seeking an offbeat, eco-minded destination. With most of the island protected as a wildlife sanctuary, this is a chance to experience a lush, untamed landscape.
When we last visited, Ko Ra featured only one place to stay, Ko Ra Ecolodge, which is a true eco-friendly establishment that had its modest beginnings as a base for a coral reef conservation project in the mid 2000s before officially opening to guests in 2008. We've since been told of a second place that also looks great - Koh Ra Beach Camp.
Today, the Eco Lodge still serves as a homebase for well intentioned environmental researchers and volunteers, including the Italian based sea turtle conservation project, Read our complete Ko Ra travel guide

Comments On Nov 19, 2013:for a ktm atv this piece will fit pretty good, i tried putting it on a polaris outlaw irs that also has the 525 motor. i had to put washers behind it and at that point the bolts were too short. this works for outlaw 525 sra and 450 as well as the ktm xc atv.

Comments On May 30, 2013:Well, as I was riding my chain broke and almost cracked my case when it came whiping around. I figured the smart thing to do would be to purchase this case guard. It looks good on the bike and hopefully functions great if my chain were to break again. A little on the pricey side for what its intended to do but would hopefully save me from buying another case if my chain were to break off again.

Comments On Apr 29, 2013:Full protection, gotta like that!!!
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Apr 18, 2013:the part looks extremely strong and looks like it will do the job. however the bolts are not long enough to go in to the case very far to be exact 1/8 of a inch not much at all so if the chain breaks it will rip right out of the case if you dont mind going and buying new bolts 2 inch it is a good part

Comments On Feb 22, 2013:It looks nice and beffy. Only thing is it did not fit so I had to shave a little off one of the screw holes. Works good now and looks beffy!

Comments On Jan 28, 2013:This is a really good looking guard. There aren't a lot of guards for the DRZ 400 but this one is a really good one. Hopefully there will be no reviews about how well it worked when the chain flew into pieces!
