Encyclopedia of World Problems Has a Big One of Its Own
Chronicle of Woes From Alien Abductions to Dandruff Finds Itself Short on Funds
BRUSSELS— Anthony Judge's career has been peppered with problems, from Aarskog Syndrome to Zoonotic bacterial diseases. In between, he tackled dandruff, ignorance, kidney disorders and sabotage.
Mr. Judge, now semiretired, spent more than two decades editing the Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential, a 3,000-page tome with almost 20,000 entries. The compendium of quandaries doesn't just list problems, it also faces one: money troubles. Its last print edition ran in 1995 and an online version is rarely updated. Yet its producers see potential to resurrect it.
The encyclopedia was Mr. Judge's brainchild when he helped run the Union of International Associations, a century-old grouping of groups that began in an effort to categorize all human knowledge.
The Union, which is less a union than a research institute, tracks more than 65,000 transnational groups including United Nations, the United Elvis Presley Society and the Hell's Angels. Its yearbook of them, first printed in 1910, now tops 6,000 pages of dense print in six hardcover volumes, for $3,080.
The UIA also organizes conferences to help organizations such as the European Coil Coating Association and the International Congress on Ultrasonics promote themselves in the cutthroat businesses of organizing conferences and managing associations.
It was the UIA's knowledge of organizations that in 1972 spawned the encyclopedia, after Mr. Judge and a friend got infuriated by a think-tank report that reduced the world's problems to just six issues. Mr. Judge believed his association of associations could better tackle the problem of problems because many groups exist to resolve concerns in areas such as health, human rights and development.
"There was money in problems," recalls Mr. Judge, a 72-year-old Australian who was born in Egypt. "We didn't include flatulence for a laugh—incontinence is big business."
That profit focus, though, masked an idealism about solving mankind's problems that dated back to the UIA's Belgian founders. One, pacifist campaigner Henri La Fontaine, won the 1913 Nobel Peace Prize—just months before World War I erupted.
The other, bibliophile Paul Otlet, promoted peace through shared information. Humans would face fewer problems if they communicated more, he believed. One of his many books is subtitled "The Book on The Book," and he later mused on "the problem of problems."
In the 1920s, the two men created a vast collection of documents and objects in Brussels called the Mundaneum, which translates roughly as "worldseum," that they wanted to make globally accessible by telephone.
Before all that, the duo tried to unite humanity by uniting the new international associations that were uniting people across borders. In 1910, they launched the UIA.
World War II decimated the Mundaneum but the UIA resumed its efforts to unite humanity and solve problems. Working from a 16th-century Brussels palace, the staff relaunched the yearbook of organizations, and, in 1954, it created an annual calendar of international congresses. It even launched a congress of international congress organizers.
In 1972, as work began on the encyclopedia, the Union became an early user of computers to compile data, track trends and seek associations among associations and problems that fascinated scholars. It also raised eyebrows during the Cold War. "We were interviewed by KGB front men and CIA front men," recalls Mr. Judge.
UIA analysis revealed links that had been easily hidden before database searches, such as ties between religious groups and apparently independent companies, says Joel Fischer, an American who now heads the UIA's congress department. UIA archives still hold angry letters from lawyers threatening suits over the revelations.
When Mr. Fischer first visited the UIA in 1995, the bookish operation reminded him of the film "Three Days of the Condor," in which the staff of a covert Central Intelligence Agency office in New York get assassinated after unintentionally uncovering a spy plot.
"What have I just walked into?" Mr. Fischer recalls thinking. "My wife is still convinced I work for the CIA."
The encyclopedia let Mr. Judge and his colleagues chew over links among problems. "Which is economically more important: rust, wrinkles or refugees?" Mr. Judge recalls wondering.
To illustrate relationships, he experimented with graphics. The first encyclopedia, published in 1976, included a chart resembling a multicolor spider's web, titled "Mapping Societal Complexity." Viewed through 3-D glasses tucked into the volume, "it was totally cutting-edge," recalls Mr. Judge.
Listing "Abduction by extraterrestrials" near "Abortion-related deaths of mothers" drew charges of trivializing serious issues, but Mr. Judge says the encyclopedia simply profiled perceived problems. "We weren't out waving its flag," he says of UFO kidnappings.
Many critics lauded the encyclopedia's ambitions, but others were bemused. "Obviously, it's not for the person looking for something light to read at the beach," noted a 1991 review.
By its third edition in 1995, the encyclopedia focused as much on solutions as problems, the "human potential" part of the title. In the late 1990s, the European Union tapped the encyclopedia for part of an ecology project, and other multilateral institutions talked with the UIA about capitalizing on its database of problems. Global economic woes killed those plans.
In 2000, the UIA posted a version on the Internet. But then financial troubles and personal squabbles arose in the UIA, and the encyclopedia foundered. Yet the Web version "is still attracting interest," says Mr. Fischer. "If somebody's got a problem and they're looking for answers, they'll come across it."
UIA Secretary-General Jacques de Mevius says he hopes soon to relaunch the online encyclopedia. Inexpensive web technologies and wikis, developed since the last encyclopedia printing, could bring a makeover within the UIA's means, officials say. "Problems don't age," says Tomáš Fülöpp, a UIA veteran who still advises the organization. "There's no resource like it out there."
Mr. Judge, who retired in 2007 and now publishes a website with views on almost any subject, sighs at the encyclopedia's fate. "Doing this is mad," he said, tapping a copy. "Possibly, like the Mundaneum, it's a historical curiosity."

There's very little traffic on this Sunday between Jerusalem and the battered city. Sunflower fields line the road and then the vast prairies of the Negev; it's difficult to fathom that only a few kilometers away rockets are raining.
We stop for gas and notice a blond woman heading out to the highway.
"Want a tremp [ride]?" my friend, the driver, asks.
"Where are you going?" she responds.
"Sderot," he says.
She shakes her head with an "are you crazy?" look. "I just came from there. I'm not going back."
The entrance to Sderot is crowded with policemen. A sign is posted on a car nearby; it reads, in Arabic: "F--- YOU, HAMAS."
We figure a rocket has just landed at the entrance, but it turns out the police were clearing a protest staged by Sderot residents angry at the government's apparent apathy toward their situation, which Israel Defense Minister Amir Peretz defined that day as "special." Special indeed.
A billboard advertising Shabbat candlelighting times greets us as we enter Sderot. Other billboard ads are peeling off, neglected.
Yet Sderot is not a ghost town, despite the thousands of residents who have already fled the city. People are still waiting at bus stops; the supermarket is open, though few cars are on the roads. I even notice a street cleaner. But the town looks tired. If Sderot had a theme, it would be: "What's gonna be with us?"
"There's always fear. It's always tense. You're always stepped on. What can I say, you hope for the best," says David Alon, a resident of Netivot, a town about 10 miles away. He is in Sderot because he works here every day for Hevra Kadisha, the Jewish burial society. He thinks it's only a matter of time until Netivot comes under fire, as well.
As Alon begins to talk about the 2005 disengagement from Gaza as the cause for Sderot's troubles, we hear on loudspeakers: "Red alert! Red alert!"
Alon shudders and darts away. "Get under there," he says, pointing to the corridor of a building.
"Is it safe?" I ask, noticing that we are exposed.
"It's good enough," he replies.
After only a few seconds, I hear that powerful, heart-shattering boom.
Talk about scary.
But there isn't time to be scared. We immediately get in the car and follow the ambulances to get a view of where the missile fell. People are gathered on pavements, looking out from the balconies, even though this isn't new to them. More than 100 missiles have been fired on Sderot in the past week.
We drive a little too fast, and I wonder if I should put on my seatbelt.
"It's not a good idea," says a local woman who has joined us. "We might have to run out for cover."
The ambulances can't seem to find the site, and they circle around the city, which isn't so big, for about 15 minutes, until all the press and emergency forces converge on a school, which is where the missile landed. Luckily, school was out for the day. There is only minor damage and no injuries, we are told.
Next, we visit a family on a small street with pale yellow apartment buildings. One woman looks out from her porch. A sign reads: "FOR SALE."
"Is it because of the situation?" I ask the 60-something woman, a Sderot resident of 31 years.
She says it's not, but I bet she's lying. She doesn't want to broadcast weakness: "If you're afraid, you have to leave all of Israel. We're not afraid. It's our country....We live here. We get used to it."
Across the street, Malka Tzippora, a 51-year-old single mother of four, is anything but used to the situation.
"I'm paranoid because of my children and grandchildren," she says. "When you call your children and they don't answer, you think the worst."
She apologizes for not offering me any coffee or refreshments, but her house, she says, is in disarray. She's in no mood to clean. Bags with food are on the kitchen counter, dishes are dirty, her 5-year-old grandson keeps nagging her to watch television with him, his shows -- something happy -- but she tells him to go sit down on the sofas.
"You don't have patience for your kids," she explains. "You're short with them because of the anger, pressure. You don't mean it, but it comes from fear."
Her son, who was injured fighting in Lebanon in the 1990s, is sending his family off to England to his wife's family. Moroccan-born Tzippora herself dreams of returning to France, where she lived for 10 years, before moving to Israel.
"They treated me well," she says. "The education for my children was better.
People are polite; they care for each other."
She's angry at the Israeli government for "tying the army's hands," adding: "It hurts that you fight for the country, and they throw you to the dogs." Of Israel's leaders, she says: "A man with a potbelly that always expands can't see under it."
Gabriel Attias, 42, a resident of Sderot, is handicapped from two car accidents. He couldn't help but express his anger to a group of journalists who gathered to watch the installation of a LifeShield bomb shelter (see related story on Page 14) next to a children's nursery. He aimed particular barbs at Peretz, a former mayor of Sderot. "He does nothing."
"What should he do?" someone asks.
"Go into Gaza and bomb them!" Attias responds.
Then he lashes out at the journalists: "And I'm angry at you. You don't go to the sick people at home. You just come and go where you want and look for some noise." Realizing I'm no angel, I offer to visit his wheelchair-bound, sick mother, but she was recently taken to a nursing home in Ashkelon. "When, when, when will there be quiet?" he shouts.
He wants me to tell the world: "We are suffering. Families are destroyed, children are destroyed, homes are destroyed and [Prime Minister Ehud] Olmert and Peretz don't do anything. All the money donated to the municipalities, we don't see a cent of it."
A 27-year-old onlooker is more forgiving of the government's seeming inaction, at least in regard to military activity. He doesn't think there is any quick-fix solution, and he's patient, describing his decision to stay in Sderot as a "gamble with fate."
"Gaza is the densest place in the world. You can't just do what you did in Operation Defensive Shield," he says. "You'll take a lot of IDF fatalities."
A 5-year-old girl sits on the lawn with a teddy bear outside her apartment, whose windows had been damaged not long ago by shrapnel from a missile strike across the street. She seems to be the calmest of the people I've spoken with, whether from childish naiveté or repressed uncertainty.
"When there are Qassam rockets, we hide here," she says matter-of-factly but sweetly, pointing to her ground-floor apartment. "We don't have shelters."
"Are you afraid?" I ask.
"We're afraid of the boom," she replies.
By the late afternoon, we've been here for about three hours; as we get ready to leave Sderot, we stop by a local falafel stand empty of customers. They are still functioning, but "business is terrible. People are afraid to go out. We make less of everything," reports Eliran, an 18-year-old worker there. The falafel was still good, though -- fresh.
On our way out, we notice smoke billowing in the skies. Was it a rocket? No, tires have been set aflame by local shopkeepers, one way of protesting their "special situation."
Back in Jerusalem, that boom still rings in my ears. As much as the echo of the man's booming cry: "When? When? When will there be quiet?"

Report: debts surge for state universities in Ohio
Published 12:27 PM EST Feb 03, 2013
Outstanding debt among Ohio's 13 four-year public universities has nearly tripled over the past decade amid a building spree on classroom buildings, dormitories and recreation centers.
At Ohio State University, which has built a recreation center and student union, debt has more than quadrupled.
Of the state's public universities, Ohio State has the largest total debt load at nearly $2.5 billion - more than four times what it was in 2002.
But, according to The Columbus Dispatch, campuses must find new money sources or leave it to future generations of students to pay for the construction spree.

Promoters of Broadway's "American Idiot" clearly know their target audience. On Sunday, the cast of the musical, which opens this year at New York's St. James Theater, will perform live at the Grammy Awards ceremony, which will be held at the Staples Center in downtown L.A.
Featuring music by the band Green Day, "American Idiot" opened at Berkeley Repertory last fall. Organizers announced today that the Broadway run, set to officially open April 20, will feature a cast including many of the principal actors from the Berkeley run -- Tony winner John Gallagher Jr., Rebecca Naomi Jones, Tony Vincent, Mary Faber, Christina Sajous and Michael Esper.
In addition, the Broadway cast will feature Tony nominee Stark Sands, who most recently appeared in La Jolla Playhouse's production of "Bonnie and Clyde."
Tony winner Michael Mayer, who staged the Berkeley Rep production, also will direct the Broadway version of the show. The production features music from Green Day's album "American Idiot."
Promoters said today that cast members will perform the song "21 Guns," along with Green Day, at the Grammy Awards ceremony, which airs Sunday on CBS.

With a proposed spending increase of more than 5 percent, North Charleston's budget would approach the $100 million mark in the coming year, and a property tax increase is planned to help fund it.
North Charleston budget
Proposed 2013-14 budget: $99.9 millionCurrent budget: $95 millionProperty tax increase: $500,000Cost to someone with a $150,000 home: $6A key reason for rising spending: Growing police and fire departments, and rising salary costs.
A flurry of hiring in the police and fire departments, which account for more than half of North Charleston's spending, makes up much of the rising costs. The city decided to hire 21 police officers and post them in public elementary schools after the December massacre of 20 children and six adults at a school in Connecticut.
And in the coming budget for the 12 months starting July 1, the growing city plans to hire another dozen firefighters.
The $99.9 million budget proposed by Mayor Keith Summey includes $4.9 million in new spending and about $500,000 in new taxes. The city's increasing tax base, and the effect of the recovering economy on sales tax collections and business license fees, will make up the difference.
The proposed tax increase would cost someone with a home worth $150,000 another $6 a year, bringing the city's bill to $570.
If that same home were rented out, and assessed for taxes as a commercial property, the increase would be $9 a year. Properties other than owner-occupied homes are assessed at higher rates in South Carolina, so they see a larger impact from any tax increase.
Summey said the tax increase is needed to cover the cost of new vehicles, some of which are related to the new police and fire employees, and other equipment. The city also raised the property tax last year, with an increase four times the size of the one proposed now.
Compared with just two years ago, city revenues and spending would increase nearly 10 percent in the coming year, and Summey described the revenue projections as somewhere between conservative and realistic in his budget message to City Council.
The council, except for Councilwoman Dot Williams, who was absent, met for about six hours Friday with Summey and city staff to pick over the details of the spending plan. In the end, they voted unanimously to recommend the plan to the Finance Committee, on which all council members sit.
During the meeting there was less talk of cutting the budget than there was discussion about finding ways to pay for additional priorities, such as completing the sidewalks the city agreed were needed in a plan created several years ago.
Councilman Bobby Jameson chaired the meeting and raised a question about whether the city should continue to donate nearly half a million dollars to nonprofit groups, while it's raising the property tax by roughly the same amount.
"Do we really want to do that?" he said.
Most council members and the mayor said that yes, they do. The largest of the contributions, $150,000, goes to the Charleston Promise Neighborhood initiative that Summey said the city has pledged to support.
"It's less than one-half of 1 percent of the budget," the mayor said of the donations.
Councilman Todd Olds successfully requested adding $2,500 to the list of contributions, for the Children's Miracle League, and said: "I think it's sad if we have a $100 million budget and can't give $2,500 for children."
Councilman Ed Astle questioned why the city can't use some of the many millions of dollars it will receive from settling a lawsuit with the state over the former Navy base, and for the planned sale of the city-owned former Naval Hospital and Shipwatch Square properties.
"Why don't we take some of that money and get some of these sidewalks done," he said, referring to a $30 million list of requested sidewalk projects.
Summey said the city usually ads funds for sidewalks each time it does a bond issue, and includes the cost in long-term budget plans.
The spending plan will go through a series of public meetings before it is final. The next stop for the budget is a May 16 meeting of the Finance Committee.

What to Drink: Sommelier's Nightcap
By Jeannette Park | May 24, 2012
While the job of a sommelier isn't easy (developing wine lists, suggesting pairings, training staff), our own Branden McRill knows how to make good use of his downtime. When he's not mixing it up as Beverage Director of the Marcus Samuelsson Group, you can find Branden doffing one of his natty bowties and settling in with this recipe for Sommelier's Nightcap, his take on a rye sour. And when it's just easiest to pop a bottle cap? "I love any Belgian-style white ale like Leffe, Hoegarden or a Southhampton Double White." Read More

CHARLES TOWN - As Maryland gets ready to open up another casino in Baltimore, officials at Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races are keeping that in mind, but not becoming nervous.
Al Britton, general manager of the racetrack, spoke to the Jefferson County Commission Thursday on the impact the Maryland casino could have, in addition to adding table games to those already existing, and also the proposed Senate Bill 455.
If passed, SB455 would reduce the number of races per year to a minimum of 150 at the West Virginia racetrack, and decrease purse values.
"I want to point out that is the minimum days required," Britton said. "Currently the minimum is 220 days, but we have negotiated with the horsemen to run 235 days. If that bill were to be successful, it does not mean that Charles Town races would go to 150 days."
As for the Maryland casinos, Britton said Charles Town took a hit when Maryland Live! opened last June in Anne Arundel County with a decline in revenues between 15 and 17 percent. As of April 11, Maryland Live! will add table games to its list of attractions.
"Another piece of competition is not too far behind," Britton said, as the city of Baltimore prepares to open a full casino, and yet another will appear in National Harbor, just outside of Washington, D.C.
To date, Penn National, who owns the casino in Charles Town, has invested more than $400 million in the property. Britton said this is part of the reason the casino has fared so well with the changes in surrounding areas.
"Those areas comprise our primary markets. We are happy to say we feel we are in a good position to compete," Britton said. "I think we are all pleased with our ability to compete with Maryland Live! thus far."

Caribou Coffee Becomes First Major US Coffeehouse to Achieve 100% Milestone
The Rainforest Alliance is pleased to announce that Caribou Coffee, the country's second largest coffeehouse, is the first major coffee company in the US to source 100 percent of its coffee and espresso beans from Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farms.
"Caribou Coffee's achievement sets a shining example, demonstrating that it is entirely possible for companies to meet their sustainability goals," said Tensie Whelan, president of the Rainforest Alliance. "We are thrilled that our long-standing relationship with Caribou Coffee has helped to improve the livelihoods of coffee-farming communities across the globe, while providing consumers with high quality, sustainable coffee."
The Rainforest Alliance started working with Caribou Coffee in 2003. Last April, Caribou Coffee set an ambitious goal of sourcing 100 percent of the coffee and espresso used across all its products and platforms from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms by the end of 2011. To meet this objective, Caribou Coffee worked directly with coffee farmers in North and South America, Africa and South East Asia, helping them to understand the social, environmental and economic benefits that result from achieving certification.
"Reaching 100 percent certification is a significant accomplishment for Caribou Coffee," said Chad Trewick, senior director of coffee and tea at Caribou Coffee. "I've seen how communities thrive from working with the Rainforest Alliance, and I'm proud to say that all of our beans come from sustainable, healthy sources."
Caribou Coffee's path to sustainability highlights the significant benefits large companies can bring to both farming communities and the environment, even before they reach 100 percent certified content. Companies are permitted to use the green frog seal on products that contain at least 30 percent Rainforest Alliance Certified content, but this fact must be clearly displayed on packaging. Because of the demanding certification standards, which were established by a coalition of grassroots conservation groups known as the Sustainable Agriculture Network (SAN), it takes time for large companies to build and integrate supply into their products. Farmers also often need time to make any changes needed to meet the SAN's social, economic and environmental standards.
"Allowing companies to use the seal before they have reached 100 percent certification, but have made a commitment to increase to 100 percent as soon as feasible, is a realistic approach that benefits workers, their families and wildlife," explains Chris Wille, the Rainforest Alliance's chief of agriculture.
Farms that achieve Rainforest Alliance certification have met the environmental, social and economic standards of the SAN, which cover ecosystem conservation, wildlife protection, water and soil conservation, agrochemical reduction, worker rights and safety, decent housing, legal wages and contracts for workers and access to healthcare and education.
Other major brands are also scaling up their commitments to source tea, coffee and cocoa from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms. Lipton®, for example, has made a commitment to source 100 percent of its tea from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms by 2015 and is well on its way to doing so.

Not too far away was Kate Beckinsale and hubby Len Wiseman, who have been spending quality time recently with the Beckham family.
The ladies have been particularly inseparable lately. Beckham and Beckinsale were spotted on April 13, cheering from the sidelines at a Los Angeles Galaxy soccer match. (Unfortunately, Beckham's team lost to the Toronto FC, 3-2.)
Meanwhile, the footballer has opened up about that ill-fated game in his latest blog entry. And while the loss was disappointing, the athlete writes that he's confident his team will persevere as the season continues.

The other day, I snuck in and took a few photographs of her at her work. As always, she completely ignored me and carried on, intent on her doings. She will only ever pause to request a specific item, perhaps a paper plate, or a bit of yarn. I am always enchanted by this, loving to stand back and witness her focus and creative intensity.
I often joke to friends - if they comment on Adelaide's focus and love of creating - that being an Artist is not an option in our house, and Addie knows that she must make stuff, or move on! Because Charles and I both work from our small home, making our living from our art, every day our daughter has been surrounded by art and creative projects. Often I wonder how this - if at all - will effect who she will become when she is all grown up. Will she carry creativity with her throughout her life? Will it become a vocation, a past time, a hobby, or nothing at all to her?
Addie is only four years old, so who can even know where her life will take her. But I am so curious to see who this little girl will become.

Application for Gallery Positions
The Editor of Gallery is responsible for publicizing the magazine, attending the creative writing class where submission policies are explained, posting signs and posters on campus announcing deadlines and submission procedures, and establishing a good working relationship with the printing office. This person has overall control of the creative writing and art submissions and should strive for diversity and representation of the overall student body within the magazine. The editor-in-chief will also develop announcements for The Bulletin and the infosys system to request submissions and promote Gallery.
The editor-in-chief checks placement of material in galley form, proofreads for grammatical correctness and makes sure that two other staff members also read and edit each work for correctness. This takes, depending upon the size and content of the magazine, from two to three weeks to accomplish.
The editor-in-chief has the final decision regarding type style and size, the format of the magazine as well as its layout and design. It is his or her responsibility to check the final proof copy to be sure that corrections have been made either on a blueline or the final digital proofs. The editor-in-chief is also responsible for the distribution of the Gallery on Honors Day.
The text editor is primarily responsible for proofing and editing the text of the magazine. The text editor also publicizes the magazine, encourages fellow students to submit written material, and makes submission posters for creative writing to display on Walters State campuses. The text editor edits and checks proof copies, proofreads content, and ensures the correct formatting for the table of contents. The text editor must learn how to utilize "styles" in word processing and page layout to streamline the layout procedure. The text editor shares responsibility with the editor-in-chief for the magazine's correctness and pleasing appearance. The text editor is also responsible for the distribution of Gallery on Honors Day.
The art editor encourages student artists and photographers to submit work to be used as illustrations in the magazine. Working with the text editor, the art editor is responsible for making submissions posters for art work to display on Walters State campuses. The art editor selects and determines the amount of photography and art included in the magazine, which must also meet the approval of the entire editorial staff as well as faculty advisors. The art editor is also responsible for the distribution of Gallery on Honors Day.
The design editor submits designs for both the cover and interior layout of the magazine, which the entire staff approves. This may come from student submissions or the design editor's own design. Placement of selected artwork and photography falls under the discretion of the design editor as well. In case of a lack of suitable material, the design editor will also be responsible for illustrating or photographing work for stories and poems as needed. Photographs of submitted art works also must be taken and scanned, and it the responsibility of the design editor to either do this work or oversee its completion. The design editor will work in close association with the text editor to ensure that the digital format of the layout works seamlessly between initial text and final digital proofs and must be familiar with "styles" and "master pages" to streamline layout and expedite major design changes. The design editor is also responsible for the distribution of Gallery on Honors Day.
Each year the Humanities department presents a high school creative writing competition, seminar, and awards program. The competition is open to high school seniors and juniors, and it is designed to allow junior and senior high school students the opportunity to share their creativity through the writing of fiction – poetry and short stories, and the writing of non fiction- expository and argumentative essays. The best submissions are published in the journal, Unto These Hills.
The work that shows exceptional quality, talent, and creativity in a given area of competition is selected winner of that genre. The winner of the overall competition the-Grand Winner- is given a plaque and awarded a one year scholarship to Walters State Community College.
The seminar provides a variety of workshop opportunities for both students and teachers.
Students whose works are selected for publication are invited to attend a one day seminar.There are two sessions of fifty minutes each. Each student selects one workshop from each fifty minute session. Workshop topics may range from "Poetry Form- Match Look to Content" to "Haiku-d¬¬¬õ: The Martial Art of Economy" to "Nick Of Time- Adaptations of History to Dramatic Form."
Teachers attend a workshop geared to their interests. The workshops may be designed to address the needs of their students as soon to be college students, the needs of the teachers and focus on their own creative work, or workshops may serve as an opportunity for the establishment of dialogue through the free exchange of ideas regarding teaching style.
We encourage all junior and senior high school students to participate. For additional information please call us at 423-585-6922.

The English Department offers an Associate of Arts degree in English, which is university parallel. The coursework transfers to senior colleges and universities for students who pursue baccalaureate degrees.
The purpose of the English discipline is to teach students to think critically, write effectively, and develop sensibilities to the literary tradition of the Western world through offerings in composition and literature. The discipline emphasizes language skills and the literary arts.
The English Department is committed to providing instruction which will prepare students who wish to continue their studies at four-year colleges or universities and other students who may be starting careers. Recognizing the wide spectrum of students who attend community colleges and their varying learning styles, the department strives to be flexible in its delivery of instruction. Courses are offered at a variety of locations (including branch campuses) and times (including week-ends) in an effort to accommodate students who frequently have demanding schedules outside of their academic work.
The English Department is also committed to the use of the latest technology in its instructional program. Several courses can be taken by Internet or through videostreaming. Furthermore, to insure that our graduates develop or polish the communication skills that employers are seeking in addition to their technical expertise, students have access to a Writing Lab, equipped with networked computers.
The English Department also demonstrates its commitment to good writing by sponsoring the annual publication of Gallery, an award-winning literary magazine, and the annual Creative Writing Competition for high school students, which culminates in another publication, Among These Hills.
Other innovative approaches for serving the students and the community include dual enrollment classes for advanced high school students, service learning projects linking college students with elementary school students, and courses for the Talented and Gifted Program serving fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth graders.
Courses offered include basic composition, creative writing, technical writing, surveys of American and Western world literature, children's literature, and folklore.
Because communication skills are necessary for our daily lives, improving our skills as communicators allows us to improve the quality of our lives. Effective interpersonal relationships, success in business and profession, and meaningful participation in our democratic society are all based on effectiveness in communication. The goals of the Department of Communication are as follows:

Thanks to all of the travelling I did during the holidays, my hair ended up ringing in the new year in quite the state of despair. Going from LA to Orlando to Minneapolis to Tahoe had caused my hair to become very angry and rebel. It was dry, frizzy and downright lackluster…not what I wanted for my hair in the new year so I was pretty anxious to try anything that promised healthy, hydrated, shiny, smooth hair.

Facebook founder, chairman and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan; Google co-founder Sergey Brin and his wife, 23andMe co-founder Anne Wojcicki; and Russian billionaire Yuri Milner today awarded $3 million each to 11 biotech and biomedical pioneers through their Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences Foundation.
"These prizes will be awarded for past achievements in the field of life sciences, with the aim of providing the recipients with more freedom and opportunity to pursue even greater future accomplishments," the foundation stated on its website.
The foundation's 11 winners were honored yesterday in a ceremony at University of California, San Francisco's Mission Bay campus:
"We are thrilled to support scientists who think big, take risks, and have made a significant impact on our lives. These scientists should be household names and heroes in society," Wojcicki said in a statement.
Said Brin in the statement: "Curing a disease should be worth more than a touchdown."
Milner last summer awarded $3 million Fundamental Physics Prizes to nine physicists, and is set to name another set of winners on March 20. "Solving the enormous complexity of human diseases calls for a much bigger effort compared to fundamental physics and therefore requires multiple sponsors to reward outstanding achievements," Milner said in the statement.
Milner, Wojcicki, and Zuckerberg also serve as directors of the foundation, which is being chaired by Art Levinson, chairman of Apple's board, and chairman and former CEO of Genentech before its $47 billion acquisition by Roche in 2009.
The $3 million awards are more than twice the sum earned by individual Nobel laureates, making breakthrough the world's richest prize for life-sci achievement. Going forward, the foundation said, it will award its $3 million prizes to five life scientists annually, for a total $15 million.
In addition, each year's prize winners will join the foundation's Selection Committee for future awardees. However, anyone will be able to nominate a candidate online, and nominees face no age restrictions. The prize can be shared between any number of scientists, and winners can receive the prize more than once in their lifetimes.

We've dreamed of the Bills returning to the top of the heap after nearly two decades of mediocrity or worse.
Now Hollywood thinks that dream may worth telling, too.
Here's the plot: a Bills general manager with the first overall pick in the NFL draft wheels and deals to restock his roster and restore the franchise to respectability.
That's the storyline for the screenplay "Draft Day."
Ivan Reitman ("Ghostbusters" and "Stripes") is supposed to be the director. Kevin Costner ("Bull Durham," "Tin Cup" and "Field of Dreams") would play the general manager, according to sources here and in Hollywood.
But here's the latest hitch: The film could be shot outside of Buffalo thanks to the high costs of producing films upstate, particularly in the Buffalo area.
The film project was described by knowledgeable sources as "dead in the water" as recently as last month.
It has been resuscitated in recent weeks, though, thanks to its ranking atop "The Black List" of Hollywood's top unproduced screenplays.
The 78-item list was developed through an industry survey of 290 top Hollywood executives. And that list has proven a worthy gauge for Hollywood success since being developed in 2005 by Franklin Leonard. A pair of the last four best picture Oscar winners – "Slumdog Millionaire" and "The King's Speech" – were also once Black List scripts.
"(The Black List) serves as a barometer as to what is considered the most appealing script with the most commercial potential," said Tatiana Siegel, film reporter for the Hollywood Reporter.
"Draft Day" placed first with 65 votes, besting the two second-highest unproduced screenplays, "A Country of Strangers" and "Seuss," which received 43 votes each.
Siegel said she was confident the film now has "a good chance" to be produced.
"Kevin Costner is at it again with 'Hatfields & McCoys.' Certainly, having someone of that stature and as the No. 1 Black List screenplay will enhance its chances," Siegel said. "But, I don't believe anything is guaranteed until the cameras are rolling."
Paramount Pictures had early rights to the film, but sources told The Buffalo News – and several national online entertainment publications also reported – that Lionsgate Films most recently acquired the rights.
When reached by phone and questioned about the fate of the film's planned location, Tim Clark, the film commissioner for the Buffalo Niagara Film Office, declined official comment.
Sources told The News, however, that Ohio, Michigan, Georgia and Louisiana are among the locations being seriously considered as Buffalo alternatives.
That's a frequent – and troubling – theme, according to industry insiders.
High production costs were the chief reason Matt Damon told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette last week that his recently released movie about hyrdrofracking, "Promised Land," was filmed in metropolitan Pittsburgh instead of upstate New York. It also weighed heavily into why Keanu Reeve's 2010 movie "Henry's Crime," which was set in Buffalo, was filmed mostly downstate.
Other films over the last decade or so, like "Bruce Almighty," "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "The Factory," further bolster the evidence.
"Quite honestly, Buffalo is one of the most expensive places to shoot a union movie," one source told The News. "These guys would come here and shoot here if they could justify it."
Siegel said decisions regarding any planned location for shooting "Draft Day" would not have been determined. She doesn't believe location will play any impact in whether the film is produced but acknowledged that finances do play a large role in what movies get made.
"The international box office has become increasingly important," said Siegel, explaining that sports movies, especially showcasing American-style football, are considered "risky" and "have to be made in a fiscally responsible manner."
"They could very easily shoot it in Canada and ... it could make it look like Buffalo," said Siegel, using exterior shots of Buffalo-area landmarks and the like.
Several factors are at play that seem to stack the deck against the Queen City, including the costs of travel, per diem costs and a dearth of local crew members represented by the International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees, the union representing professional stagehands, motion picture technicians and allied crafts. Because so many of those members reside in New York City, they would have to travel and be housed in the Buffalo Niagara region.
That's the reason State Sen. Patrick Gallivan is introducing a bill that would balance the playing field to get a more equitable piece of the $420 million annual state tax incentives for film production in New York State. Since an additional funding pool was enacted in the state budget by the State Legislature in 2010 under the New York State Film Production Credit, more than $1 billion in state money has been used to lure films to the Empire State.
Upstate cities Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, along with the North Country, have received less than $1 million of that in total – or less than 0.1 percent.
"New York City is unlike any other place – we can't replicate New York City in Buffalo or Rochester," Gallivan admitted. "Where we're losing out is when they need a nice country scene or suburban scene, you see them go to Massachusetts."
Gallivan alluded to Damon's comments reported in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that said greater Pittsburgh won the location for "Promised Land" over upstate New York because "it's always a money thing."
Said Damon: "They both had the look that we wanted, and they both had incentives. What happens when you have incentives in a place, a lot of work comes there and then, when a lot of work comes there, you get local people who are a really good crew because they're working all the time."
In Pittsburgh, a local crew was available. In Buffalo and throughout upstate New York, not so much.
"We're losing out on many opportunities that are going to Pittsburgh and Ohio or the outskirts of Toronto," said Gallivan, who proposes a tiered benefit approach to divvying up the state incentive money for film designed to "level the playing field for Western New York and upstate New York and attract additional filmmaking productions."
"Our idea is not to allocate more funding for it, just let it be carved up differently," Gallivan said.
Gallivan said the actual percentage breakdown in his bill, which he introduced at the Senate's opening session last week, was "subject to change" and is but a starting point.

IN THIS issue of the ARCHIVES, Clements and colleagues1 report on their 5-year cohort study of varicella among children from 11 day care centers in North Carolina. The observation period began shortly prior to licensure of the varicella vaccine in 1995; thus, it was possible to compare the rate of disease in the study population prior to and after initiation of the immunization program, as well as to monitor the increase in the uptake of the vaccine over time. During the study, the incidence of varicella was carefully monitored by both a passive reporting system for parents and day care center personnel and active surveillance conducted by the research team. Based on the data collected, it was estimated that varicella vaccine coverage in the day care centers rose from 4% in early 1995 to 63% by the end of 1999. As might be expected, the rate of varicella disease in immunized children was low—ranging from 5.35 cases per 1000 person-months before July 1996, to 1.01 cases per 1000 person-months in late 1999. However, concurrent with the increased uptake of the vaccine in the day care centers, the rate of disease in unvaccinated children also fell dramatically. Among those not vaccinated, the rate of varicella was 16.74 per 1000 person-months prior to July 1996; by the end of 1999 this rate had decreased to 1.53 per 1000 person-months. The authors conclude that this decrease in varicella in the unvaccinated children is a demonstration of herd immunity and is a welcome effect of the vaccine.

The average price of gas in Greeley has spiked to $2.98, a jump of 18 cents from last week, according to AAA. Greeley is still below Colorado's average of $3.04 and well below the national average of $3.46, which is exactly what it was one year ago, according to AAA.
"The price of oil I guess is going up so I guess you can expect gas to go up," said Glen Hanson of Kersey while filling up his car at the King Soopers gas station on 11th Avenue in Greeley.
GasBuddy.com reported that the rise in prices is due to refinery turnarounds. Patrick DeHaan, a senior petroleum analyst, said in a release through the site that the national average could easily add an additional 10-15 cents per gallon over the next week, leading to one of the sharpest increases seen this early in the year.
"Make no mistake — virtually all villages, towns and cities will see an impact if they haven't already," DeHaan said in the release.
Retail gasoline prices have risen for 14 days straight, according to AAA.
Brent Peterson of Greeley said he hasn't noticed the change in prices as much because he said he fills his truck up once a month.
"I ride my bike to school," Peterson said. "It's a good little gig considering my truck isn't as gas-friendly as I'd like."
The Associated Press reported crude oil prices, slowing output at refineries that are undergoing maintenance and low supplies of gasoline have caused the price spike.
"I'm not surprised at what I'm seeing, but I am surprised it's coming early," Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service, told the AP.
Crude oil prices have risen 14 percent since mid-December, to $97.49 on Thursday.

The Post and Courier
Picture the house of Gen Xers and their energetic children, boomers and their social teenagers or seniors and their scores of grandkids.
Any of the scenarios are possible, moreover suitable, for a finely remodeled and subtly spiffed-up residence built in 1994 in Ashley Harbor.
The two-story house, at 2229 Weepoolow Trail, is on the market for $769,000.
Among the highlights of the 4,647-square-foot home with five bedrooms, four full baths and a powder room is a ground level master suite.
"It's unusual to find a home of this size with the master down," says Will Dammeyer, Realtor with William Means Real Estate and listing agent. "I think that's a great attraction."
Because of the all-encompassing layout, 2229 Weepoolow Trail would be alluring to mature buyers who want the convenience of a first-floor bedroom while also pleasing to younger or middle aged families for the versatile kid-friendly upstairs touting large sleeping quarters and a sprawling recreation room over the three-car garage.
Dammeyer says the place that sets the tone for the Lowcountry-style house is the columned front porch, plenty wide enough for rocking chairs, potted plants and a piece of furniture or two.
Spotlighting the remodeled interior is the spacious family room, made even larger in a recent renovation when the living quarters were pushed out to enclose what had been the back porch. The extended square footage includes a wet bar and wine cooler. There's also a wood-burning fireplace and bookcase. It connects to an upgraded kitchen sporting granite countertops, multi-burner stove built into the center island, dishwasher, refrigerator, double oven and ample cabinet space. The dining room is near the front of the house, bridging the kitchen and the foyer. Off the family room is a cozy formal living room.
Down a hall is the master suite, marked by a decent-sized bedroom and a cushy bathroom complete with whirlpool tub, dual sinks and walk-in closets. Across the way is good-sized study.
An oversized mud room is in back, off the kitchen. A door leads to the garage, which offers lots of room for cars and storage. Other first-floor features are crown molding, hardwood floors in most rooms and high ceilings.
Dominating the second floor is the full-length room over the garage, which includes a full bath. In a brochure for the property, Dammeyer says, "This is a great spot to use as a playroom, media space, additional bedroom or another family room."
At the head of the stairs is an open landing area. The four bedrooms include one that's being used as a small den and two that are connected by a Jack and Jill bath. A fourth bedroom is similar to a suite, sporting its own bathroom with a shower-tub combination. Dormer windows accentuate the bedrooms.
Outside, 2229 Weepoolow Trail showcases a broad front yard and a moderate-sized lawn in back that's fenced on all but one side (there's an "invisible" electric fence for a pet dog on that side).
Dammeyer says the gated Ashley Harbor community is a big plus. "It's a very family oriented neighborhood," he says. Just 15 minutes from downtown, the village has easy access to large employers such as Boeing.
Comprising the neighborhood amenities are a large lake; boat landing on Bulls Creek, which leads to the Ashley River; walking and jogging trails; and tennis courts.
Dammeyer says he's had interest in the house from possible buyers. "We've had good activity on it." He acknowledges that Ashley Harbor is "a neighborhood (that) I'm not sure a lot of people from out of town know about. (But) local people know."
The house is toward the front of the neighborhood. Traveling west, cross the Ashley River bridge and veer right onto St. Andrews Boulevard. Follow the boulevard for about two miles and stay left onto Ashley River Road. Continue across Sam Rittenburg Boulevard and proceed about two miles. Turn right on Ashley Hall Plantation Road. Go less than a mile and make a left on Portside Way into Ashley Harbor. Once through the gate, take the second right, which is Weepoolow Trail. On the right is 2229 Weepoolow Trail.

Make your dairy a professionally managed business
Make your dairy a professionally managed business
Producers should quit managing dairies like entrepreneurs and start managing their farms as professionally managed businesses.
by Lucas Sjostrom, Hoard's Dairyman Associate Editor
Does your farm have growing pains? If you answered no, you're either a well-run business or you don't know what growing pains feel like yet.
Allan Gray, director of Purdue University's Center for Agricultural Business, laid out the top 10 growing pains for businesses in a presentation at Midwest Dairy Expo in St. Cloud, Minn., yesterday.
To him, the top 10 growing pains are:
- There aren't enough hours in the day
- Too much time "putting out fires"
- Don't know what others are doing (this could be anyone in your organization, not just the ownership)
- Don't know where the firm is headed
- Not enough good managers
- "I have to do it if it is to be done right"
- Meetings are a waste of time
- Very little follow up on plans so things don't get done
- Some feel insecure about their place
- Sales are growing but profits aren't keeping pace
If you're experiencing any of the above, you're probably experiencing growing pains. Gray prescribed that most dairy producers have grown in the past three years, even though you might not realize it. Unless you've reduced cow numbers, your farm's revenue is likely up compared to its position three years ago based on just milk price alone.
While there are many things you can do to fight through the above growing pains, Gray mentioned that the number one thing you should do is write job descriptions for all your employees. Once your employees are trained and have their job description in hand, much of the uncertainty on your dairy can be eliminated. It also allows employees to be judged in a formal performance appraisal against the tasks of which they are in charge.
Job descriptions can also provide the top management with an opportunity to decide where their responsibilities start and end. Gray contends that shared responsibility is another way indecision can arrive on a dairy. It could also confuse employees who are looking where to turn on a specific issue.
A third of the many issues Gray covered is one of the most important: management training. He said that if you don't do managerial training with your employees (especially kids) while they're on the farm, they may be forced to do it on either the day you're ready to quit or the day you unfortunately pass away.
With a focus on organizational management, like improving the three areas above, you can be doing $100 per hour work rather than $10 per hour work. Which would you rather get paid for your time? If you don't have organizational management skills now, you can either go through a formal agricultural executive program like those at Purdue University, Texas A&M or Cornell University's Dairy Executive program. If you don't want to go to school yourself, you can always hire the management expertise onto your team.

Portion control is probably one of the most important aspects of any successful commercial kitchen. Believe it or not, unknowingly adding a little extra to each plate, or smudging a bit in terms of exact recipes, can lose you a lot of money. Wasting a little here and a little there might not seem like a big deal, but it'll eat up your stock in no time. Being exact, and employing reliable food scales on your back line, helps eliminate food waste and keeps your employees on point. It is super simple to weigh something out for portioning or storage, and doing so is the smartest and easiest way to save a few bucks before and after an inventory audit.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Lollapalooza, the celebrated festival that has come a long way in the past two decades. It's evolved from an alternative music tour to a cross-genre mainstay in the summer festival circuit, where concertgoers happily brave the 100-plus-degree heat index with a gourmet hot dog in one hand and a pint of locally brewed beer in the other. A lot has happened during the history of this iconic event, so as its birthday approaches, we take a look back at Lollapalooza's most memorable moments.

Once again (as with Purl Soho) expect to pay New York City scale prices. (And why not? After all, they do cater to the likes of Martha.) Coming from Utah, Land of Abundant (and often Cheap) Craft Supplies, I didn't buy much. But I couldn't walk away totally empty-handed and found these cute little trims. Love those dapper little Scottie Dogs.

This week, Brady flies solo. First, he introduces you to an upcoming community conference called Windows Azure Conf, which will bring Scott Guthrie together with some influential Windows Azure community members into the Channel 9 studios to talk about how they're using Windows Azure in their own development exercises. These community members will be in the studio all day on November 14 and will be showing how they've used Windows Azure in their own projects, enterprises, and startup efforts.
Then, Brady does a demonstration of Windows Azure Web Sites in conjunction with the Windows Azure Service Bus to connect a web site hosted in the cloud to an on-premises database. If you've looked at Windows Azure Web Sites as an easy way to host your web site but are unclear on how you can tie it to your enterprise environment, this show's for you!

Deciding Adult Huntington's Disease Disability Applications Faster
Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner of Social Security, has announced the agency will add Huntington's disease for adults to the Compassionate Allowances program by the end of the year. The expedited disability process will identify people with significant symptoms of this devastating neurological disease and award them disability benefits quickly. Adult Huntington's disease will accompany the designation of Juvenile Huntington's disease as a Compassionate Allowance condition, which will be effective in August.
"Woody Guthrie, the composer of 'This Land is Your Land,' among hundreds of other folk classics, suffered and died from Huntington's disease, a progressive and always fatal disease of the brain that affects nearly 30,000 people in the U.S.," said Commissioner Astrue. Guthrie would have been 100 this month, making it a fitting time for this announcement.
For more information about Compassionate Allowances, visit www.socialsecurity.gov/compassionateallowances.
Congressional Testimony
On July 25, two Social Security executives testified before two different Congressional committees.
Carolyn Colvin, Deputy Commissioner of Social Security, appeared before the Committee on Ways and Means Subcommittee on Human Resources to discuss the Supplemental Security Income program. She presented what the agency has learned "through 40 years of experience in providing assistance under a complex, means-tested program, and how we have used technology and other innovative approaches to efficiently and effectively make sure that only eligible individuals receive the right amount of benefits at the right time." A full transcript of her testimony is available at www.socialsecurity.gov/legislation/testimony_072512.html.
LaTina Burse Greene, Assistant Deputy Commissioner for Retirement and Disability Policy, testified before the Senate Special Committee on Aging about the importance of the Social Security retirement decision, and how it affects women. "When people ask us –'what is the best age to start receiving retirement benefits?'– we tell them there is no 'best age' for everyone and that, ultimately, it is their choice. It is a personal decision that should be based on a number of factors, such as their current cash needs, health, and family longevity," Greene explained. The full transcript of her testimony is available at www.socialsecurity.gov/legislation/testimony_072512a.html.

By Steve Silva, roundworms Boston.com Staff
FOXBOROUGH – It was a big night for Brandon Lloyd, roundworms who had his first two touchdown game as a Patriot.
One touchdown was a perfectly executed pass play that looked like a run at the start. Roundworms The other was a pass-play-turned-fumble where Lloyd happened to be in the right place at the right time.
For his first touchdown, roundworms Tom Brady found Lloyd wide open in the middle of the field after the Patriots QB faked a handoff and Lloyd blew past the confused Texans defense that bit on the run. Roundworms Lloyd breezed into the end zone and the Patriots went up 14-0 in in the first quarter of what would be an eventual 42-14 demolition of Houston.
"That was definitely a scheme play, roundworms" Lloyd said. Roundworms "We worked hard on that all week, roundworms and when the opportunity presented itself, roundworms Coach [Josh] McDaniels called it at the right time and we were able to take advantage of it."
Lloyd's second touchdown came on a fumble recovery in the end zone, roundworms after Danny Woodhead lost the ball after catching a screen pass early in the fourth quarter. Roundworms Texans defensive lineman J.J. Roundworms Watt punched the ball out of Woodhead's arms and it bounced 13 yards into the end zone, roundworms where Lloyd grabbed it like he was pulling in a Brady pass.
"Just a screen pass, roundworms we do our best to block downfield, roundworms and unfortunately the ball popped out, roundworms" Lloyd said. Roundworms "But we were there to make the play."
Lloyd played the role of the humble team player after the game.
"Obviously the Texans are a really good football team, roundworms" he said. Roundworms "We did a pretty good job of executing in the first half, roundworms for the most part, roundworms but we still have things that we need to improve on. Roundworms I think we had a great week of practice and we did things that were necessary to come out and execute well. Roundworms It was a team effort."
Lloyd caught seven passes for 89 yards, roundworms his second-highest total of the season.
