The Rams baseball team lost six seniors but returns a host of experience this season.
"This group has a lot of quality seniors with experience," Mt. Vernon coach Tim Holloway said. "We have the seniors on this varsity roster, and a lot of them got some (at-bats) last year and some innings. We hope that experience pays off."
Tyler Ellis and Brock Fulkerson will be at the top of the team's pitching rotation. Both were solid options behind graduated Jared Anthis. Ellis, a Rend Lake College signee, finished the season 5-3 in 59 innings with a 2.61 earned run average. Fulkerson enters this year as a junior after a 4-3 season over 45 innings. He ended the year with a 2.47 era.
"We feel like we have a deep staff this year," Holloway said. "Brock and Tyler have done a good job in the past. Those guys are going to be at the top."
Other players the Rams could turn to on the mound are: Landon Thomas, Thomas Weber, Sawyer Harrison, Colten Meador, Tyler Morgan and Trevor Flota.
Up the middle of the diamond, the Rams bring back more experience with catcher Collin Young, Matthew Williams (second base), and center fielder Thomas. The senior center fielder has already committed to Rend Lake College. Williams batted .371 last season for the Rams. Hayden Poninski primarily played in the outfield a year ago but is also an option at shortstop.
Weber and Morgan add depth to the catching spot for Mt. Vernon.
"We feel very strongly that the catching position has to be solid to have a good team, and we have two guys who we feel like do a good job there," Holloway said.
Other returning players give the Rams flexibility. In addition to pitching Meador can play first base. Sawyer Harrison will be at third base. Flota can play first or third.
The Rams have a multitude of players available to play the corner outfield positions with Clayton Reeves, Flota, Pat Bradford, Jake Pike, Zach Jines and Tyler Morgan all figuring into the spots.
"There are some guys that are better defensively that we can sub late defensive-wise," Holloway said. "There are some guys with some pop. We've got a lefty bat or two in there where we can go depending on who's pitching.
"We have some options depending on the game and the situation. That could be a determining factor in who's playing that day."
The Rams have dominated the South Seven Conference over the past few years. In three seasons, Mt. Vernon has lost just one of its 30 conference games with a perfect 10-0 year in 2012. The team's last conference loss came on April 21, 2011 against Belleville Althoff.
"You have to expect to win, if you're going to win, and our guys do," Holloway said. "Now a lot of those games over the past three, four years in that conference have been battles. There's several of them that we have come from seven or eight runs back to win those games. There are a lot of one, two run games in there. It has not come easy."
Mt. Vernon opens the season with a 4:30 p.m. Tuesday home game against Salem. The Rams finished 26-10 overall last season.

Although The Beatles' popularity had been growing steadily and to increasingly frantic heights throughout 1963, their appearance at the London Palladium on Sunday 13 October catapulted into the attentions of the mainstream media, who coined the term 'Beatlemania' to describe the scenes of screaming fans.
Sunday Night At The London Palladium was a variety entertainment programme that regularly drew huge British TV audiences of up to 15 million people. Competition to appear was fierce, and The Beatles were taking no chances, having spent the previous evening rehearsing.
On the night they appeared briefly at the beginning of the show, before compère Bruce Forsythe told the audience, "If you want to see them again they'll be back in 42 minutes."
And indeed they were. The Beatles topped the bill that night, closing the hour-long show. They began with From Me To You, followed by I'll Get You, which was introduced by Paul McCartney with some jovial interjections from John Lennon.
Their most recent hit, She Loves You, was next, announced collectively by Lennon, McCartney and George Harrison.
Then came the finale. Paul McCartney attempted to announce it, but was drowned out by the screams from the frenzied audience. Lennon told them to "shut up", a gesture which was applauded by the older members in the audience. McCartney then asked them all to clap and stamp their feet, and they began Twist And Shout.
The Beatles' appearance featured on the ITN news, complete with footage from the group's dressing room. The following day, meanwhile, newspaper reporters wrote breathless front-page stories about the screaming fans.
The group's status as a new phenomenon was confirmed, with Beatlemania dominating the airwaves and press for years to come.

There are many natural cures for yeast infections. Making sure you are hydrated is one way to go about this. It sounds too simple to be true, but it's essential to maintaining adequate pH levels, which can help fight infection.
Yeast infections are something that people have, but don't talk about a lot. Although it is not a life-or-death issue, it does cause many women discomfort at least one time during their lifetime. The most important things you should know are the best way to treat them and what you should do to keep them from coming back. These tips will aid in such prevention and should be adhered to by those who deal with this infection regularly. Increase your water intake. Water keeps your system working properly, flushing out the bad stuff. It's also been proven to get rid of sugar. Reducing the sugar in your bloodstream makes it more difficult for yeast to grow and take over. When symptoms begin to appear, flush the body as often as possible and immediately lower the amount of sugar you ingest. This makes recovery quite a bit faster. Try drinking more water. High levels of water consumption will flush your system. Another advantage is that it can flush out sugar. Excess sugar will feed yeast infections. If you have a yeast infection, drink a lot of water. You may even cure the condition more quickly.

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon has been forced to delay the release of its updated Army Field Manual on interrogation because of congressional opposition to several provisions, including one that would allow tougher techniques for unlawful combatants than for traditional prisoners of war.
The Defense Department's civilian leaders, who are overseeing the process of rewriting the manual, have long argued -- along with the Bush administration -- that the Geneva Convention does not apply to terrorists or irregular fighters. The United States needs greater flexibility when interrogating people who refuse to fight by the rules, they have said.

The bright lights of Charlotte Motor Speedway are a far cry from the racing conditions at the Owyhee Motorcycle Club, but on the eve of his NASCAR Sprint Cup debut, Brian Scott hasnt forgotten his roots.
A little small dirt track, Scott said of the course where he got his start. Racing together with my dad. We had lots of fun there.
Scott, a 25-year-old Boise native and Boise High graduate, has steadily risen through the ranks since the days he spent racing mini sprints with motorcycle engines.
On Saturday, hell reach the highest level his first race on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Scott, in the No. 33 Shore Lodge Chevrolet, qualified Thursday and will start 19th in the Bank of America 500.
His goals are ambitious and realistic: run all the laps, stay on the lead lap, be competitive with fellow first-timer Kyle Larson and finish in the top 20.
I have a lot to overcome and a lot to figure out, he said.
Scott drove 200 miles in the car last week, his first time in the Sprint Cup car, which differs from the cars he runs on the Nationwide circuit. Many of his competitors Saturday night have logged hundreds of thousands of miles in Sprint Cup cars, including 400 miles last week in Kansas.
In Nationwide cars, Scott said, drivers try to carry momentum into the corners and carry the highest center corner speed. In Sprint Cup cars, he said, drivers must figure out how to get into the corners, get the car to turn and hook up the rear tires.
That suits me more. Its more what I grew up doing. Its more what Im better at, he said. Sprint Cup cars are a lot like the sprint cars that I grew up racing on dirt.
Scott started racing at 12 with his dad, Joe. They won races at Owyhee, which led to bigger races in Washington and California.
I got hooked, he said.
He spent four years racing mini sprint cars and moved to sprint cars at 16.
But his family Scott is the great-grandson of Joe and Kathryn Albertson didnt want him to spend hours in the garage, working on cars. They crafted a schedule around school and brought in others to build and maintain cars.
I had all intentions and plans of going to college, he said.
In 2006, his senior year at Boise High, he won a sprint car race and the success on the track changed his plans.
There were a lot of things that appealed to me about trying to be a pro race car driver, he said.
So on the day he graduated from high school, Scott moved to North Carolina to be closer to the action and work with people to mentor and guide his career in the asphalt ranks.
The progression from there to here has not been unlike a minor-league baseball players path to the big leagues. He raced super late models, then on the Pro Cup series and the ARCA Racing Series. A big break came at the end of 2007 when Scotts father purchased a team in NASCARs Truck series.
Scott raced on the circuit full-time in 2008 and 2009, winning a race at Dover.
Theres a lot of racers out there that are not fortunate enough to have a family situation to stick with you. Theres tough lessons youre going to learn. And my family, without them, I wouldnt have got the opportunity or had the ability to make it through some of the rough times, Scott said.
Scott moved to the Nationwide Series full-time in 2010 and finished runner-up in rookie of the year. He finished eighth in points in 2011 and ninth in 2012.
In the offseason he moved from Joe Gibbs Racing to Richard Childress Racing with the expectation that he would get some races in the Sprint Cup and is currently seventh in the Nationwide standings. Scott will race in the Nationwide event Friday night in Charlotte.
Hes a really competitive person. He wants nothing in the world more than to succeed. Hes pushed our team to be better, said Phil Gould, his crew chief on the Nationwide Series. In practice, he wants to be the fastest car. He wants to sit on the pole every week. You see his passion. Sometimes you see it when things dont go well, but thats just passion.
Scott had his best race of his Nationwide career at Richmond in September. He led 239 laps, but lost the lead on a late restart and finished second.
That was the most demoralizing race Ive ever competed in or taken part in. Its not often in racing that you get a car thats dominant. The stars dont align like that, Scott said.
Restarts, he said, are the area hed like to improve the most.
He knows hes likely to add to that list after this weeks race.
One of the best things about being with Richard Childress Racing is the little bit of piece of mind that the car is going to be close, Scott said. That will allow me to focus and know the areas I need to work on.

Smart, safe, sustainable manufacturing solutions: Rockwell Automation
Plant-wide optimization, better machines, and s sustainable production are how Rockwell Automation seeks to help manufacturing.
Rockwell Automation opened its Automation Fair event today in Anaheim, CA, to nearly 9,000 customers, Rockwell Automation Partner Network members, industry analysts and media, the company said. Themed "Smart, Safe and Sustainable Manufacturing," the event provided attendees the opportunity to see the newest technologies and solutions available to help improve plant-wide optimization, machine-builder performance and sustainable production.
Rockwell Automation says it helps with:
- Plant-wide optimization - A changing global economy is driving manufacturers to seek new continuous improvement methodologies - enabled by the convergence of industrial automation and information technology. Through customer round-table discussions, theater presentations and technical sessions, attendees can identify ways to use automation investments to drive innovative engineering, flexible operations and efficient maintenance across their organizations.
- Machine-builder performance - Machine builders manufacture industrial equipment that uses different levels of automation technology, depending on the end use of the machines. They require flexibility and seek Rockwell Automation solutions to help reduce total cost to design, develop and deliver machines and improve time to market.
- Sustainable production - Sustainable production is the only long-term solution to overcoming the rising costs of energy, raw materials, environmental regulations, workers' compensation and product liability. Rockwell Automation solutions help manufacturers overcome today's economic pressures, achieve long-term business goals, improve global competitiveness and brand value, and have a more positive impact on society and the environment.
"Our goal this year is to help customers make the most of their investment in automation and information technology, improve their competitiveness, and make sure they are well-positioned to capitalize on the economic recovery," said Keith Nosbusch, Rockwell Automation chairman and CEO.
"Plant-wide optimization represents a new era in manufacturing. Companies making the investment are better-positioned to address new sustainability objectives and respond to changes in consumer demand," Nosbusch said.
On Nov. 10, Nosbusch and executives other industry organizations spoke at the company's annual Manufacturing Perspectives global media forum. Speakers described the trends driving global manufacturing and offered insight into the global economic outlook. In addition, Nosbusch provided an overview of the new products, services and developments that highlight this year's Automation Fair event. These included:
- An industrial energy management "greenprint" that helps manufacturers take an "inside-out" approach to energy management;
- The launch of the FactoryTalk VantagePoint EMI software and FactoryTalk Historian Machine Edition software;
- A portfolio of integrated motion solutions over EtherNet/IP;
- A new series of servers and workstations for building a process automation system;
- New Allen-Bradley products, such as an extension to the safety light-curtain line, a new safety controller for midrange applications, a new managed switch, two new Allen-Bradley ControlLogix controllers, and servo motors and drives.
The Automation Fair event continues today and tomorrow with workshops, technical sessions, industry forums, hands-on labs and more than 100 exhibitors, which include members of the PartnerNetwork platform.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

When planning your health insurance coverage you need to consider purchasing a disability insurance policy, especially if you are self employed. People too often miss this option when getting insurance because they are so certain that becoming disabled will never happen to them. The risk of disability is higher than most people realize, and Workers Compensation or Social Security Disability Income alone won't cover all of your expenses.
The Risk of Disability
According to Insurance.com, there is a twenty percent possibility of a long term disability occurring to a man, aged 30, before he reaches the age sixty-five. For women at 30 years of age, the risk is lower, about thirty three percent, but that is still a one in three possibility. Of these people who may find themselves disabled for over six months, half will still be disabled five years down the road. These statistics are way too high to neglect proper insurance coverage.
What Is At Risk
More people will lose their homes because they have not purchased disability insurance than will those who will lose their homes to fire. The average worker does not think about how they will pay the bills should they become disabled. Disability insurance will offer you protection, whether it is a short-term injury or a long-term injury that leaves you permanently disabled. Other statistics from Insurance.com quote heart disease and back injuries as the two events most likely to cause a person's disability.
Worker's Compensation vs. Disability Health Insurance
A disability can be caused by injury or due to genetic or chronic disease, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. A disability renders a person unable to continue their lives as they had in the past. One major worry is if this limitation is the loss of employment. Typically, if you work full time and pay into Workers Compensation, this will assist you in paying for your expenses related to the injury if you are injured on the job. However, not all disabling injuries occur on the job. This is where disability insurance comes in.
It is important to remember that disability insurance is not solely for someone who has a dangerous job. You do not need to work with explosives or in the coal mines to have an accident. You can walk across the street and be hit by a car, slip on the ice or fall down your front stairs. Anything can happen, and if it is disabling, it will completely change your life. In addition, it affects how you can take care of yourself, your family and your financial responsibilities.
Disability health insurance coverage from an employer often is very restrictive. These polices will not likely cover you for anything that does not happen in the line of work at your workplace. On the other hand, purchasing a disability insurance policy will cover you by paying the mortgage, bills and health care costs. Individuals may also choose supplemental insurance policies to add coverage to their existing policies to pay for unexpected expenses in the event of a disabling accident.
Where to Find Disability Insurance
Individuals can purchase disability insurance policies as well as a variety of supplemental insurance policies through their employer or human resources offices as well as from independent insurance agents. Many insurance companies can provide insurance quotes online, and then a policy can be secured after payment of the current policy period, signatures are collected and any required blood tests have been completed.
Don't wait to get a disability insurance policy because it cannot be purchased after you have become totally and permanently disabled.

The reason that the old greens are so well respected is their ability to shed mud. Grip is offered by a number of tires [sic] in most muddy conditions but our own (non-scientific!) side-by-side riding last winter in severe mud showed a frame / seatstays clogged with the mud thrown up from the ("mud king") Dugast Rhino. The parallel bike fitted with Green Michelin muds was almost clean. The mud had been shed immediately after the tyre had left contact with the ground, rather than sticking enough to get thrown into (and clog) the frame up.
Mud shedding is so important in 'cross.

Just like last week at Regionals, you have to win and place, or go home. Only the top 8 from each weight class in the East would advance to meet the top 8 in the West. The GHSA State Tournament is in Macon, Georgia on February 14th, 15th, and 16th.
The Grizzlies took 12 wrestlers out of a possible 14 to Loganville and came out with a record 9 Georgia State qualifiers. Ryan Camp (106 lbs), Grant Slater (113), Justin Goss (120), Justin Pettyjohn (152), Hunter Smith (160), Hunter Udall (170), Joseph Sorrentino (182), Logan Ridings (195) and Brock Tupman (285).

DynCorp International
DynCorp International Reviews
Not yet rated.
S. Gordon Walsh
Review Highlights
Good pay even though you are in a war zone (in 25 reviews)
Hours of operations, Great people to work with, "By the book" maintenance (in 10 reviews)
Upper management does not know what is going on or how to run the program (in 11 reviews)
Being away from home, but that's expected when signing up (in 6 reviews)
"Got to do the job I had in the USAF for a civilian company."
Pros – Good pay, can do the same job you had in the military.
Cons – Qatar sort of sucks, and not having SOFA status as a civilian in Qatar makes you a 2nd class citizen with no equal rights who are regarded as gods by the police.
Advice to Senior Management – Don't be "my daddy", I am a grown man. Micromanagement sucks.
"Huge company with many projects in various fields"
Pros – DynCorp is a huge company that offers a wide varity of job postings around the world.
The Company will generally give employees opportunities for follow-on jobs within the company as they finish their contracts (applies to year long/overseas contracting work)
The Company's values are great (See below)
Cons – (Understand this is in reference to the project I work with. Talk with someone at your potential work site for appropriate details)
DynCorp's ability to pay a respectable salary was struck hard coming in after another company had this project. The quality of employees that will work in this field, for this amount of money is lacking. The Company's inability to recruit quality aircraft mechanics makes it hard to get rid of substandard mechanics. It's a snowball that gets worse as top notch employees leave the program because they can make better money elsewhere, and employees that lack experience and skills for better paying jobs are left behind. The only thing that keeps this place running are the handful of mechanics that stick around because they truly care about the end user and their mission.
There never seems to be enough time to really truly inculcate the Company's values into the workforce, other than through negative discipline when values are not adhered to.
Advice to Senior Management – Find some way to offer better incentives for working here. The hourly compensation and benefits are substandard for this industry. The only reason to work on this project is the insane amount of hours we work.
Allow lower and middle management to review potential incoming employee's applications and take their advice into consideration prior to hiring them
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
"Company Review"
Pros – The company is very generous in its vacation allocations, based on how long you've worked for them. The are definitely pro-veteran, and family. The atmosphere is one of teamwork.
Cons – Being off-site, sometimes information is found out slowly. Additionally, historically when training is required, we tend to get notification at the "critical" hour for it to be completed.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep communication lines open to the lowest worker level.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
"Strong opportunity as a starting block for contract work"
Pros – The pay wasn't as strong as, say, KBR and some of the other companies. However, you received a lot more of the freedoms you'd receive working a normal job.
Cons – You're not completely free. Having a family can be difficult. Hard to move up, depending on the project.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
"It was a good place to work, management was pretty easy, but for most people the advancement rte is low"
Pros – People pretty much get along, everyone was military and we all had a common goal.
Cons – Unions are not around to protect the people that want to work...definitely for the lazy.
Advice to Senior Management – They should have incentives for people to work harder
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
1 person found this helpful
"Good employer"
Pros – Good pay, ok food, ok rooms.
Cons – needs to pay closer attention to upper mgmt.
Advice to Senior Management – ?
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
1 person found this helpful
"Great pay"
Pros – Great pay, and experience! Raises were annually started off at $27.00/hr after one year of work and one raise I ended at $30/hr
Cons – The location of work was pretty bad, it was southern Maryland and the cost of living down there was outrageous.
Advice to Senior Management – Work was great while I was there, it isn't the normal professional work environment due to the majority of the people being prior military there is a bit of hazing going on at times.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
1 person found this helpful
"Great opportunity for prior military"
Pros – the benefits and the work environment
Cons – short contract away from home
"Incinerator Operator"
Pros – Pay, Team, Experience aaaaand....pay pay pay
Cons – Work location, seniority first, long hours, no off days
Advice to Senior Management – Pay more because more money is always better.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
"EL SALVADOR CSL NAVAIR/GSE CFTs AUDIT needed Records, tool-control, PMs need QA checks Complete/Maint/safety IAW-NAVAIR."
Pros – DynCorp Intl CFTs NAVAIRGSE Maint/Support CSL-1 EL SALVADOR was good in the early years when the team was fresh in 2001.
Cons – Problem is that the same CFT has been on site for 13yrs and the maintenance, slacking with no expert QA/oversight.
Advice to Senior Management – Surprise Secretly Audit the site from Corporates Higher Echelon of experts, to many friends in lower network leak AUDITS to their buddy network.

Visiting Artists and Scholars Lecture Series
Carolina Caycedo: WE HAVE ALL THE INGREDIENTS
Monday, December 10, 2012 - 6:00pm
SFAI Rooftop Amphitheater
Free and Open to the Public
San Francisco Art Institute
800 Chestnut Street
San Francisco,
In two movements, Carolina Caycedo invites us to explore the inner and outer spaces of our bodies, our neighbors, and our locales. She begins inside, examining with a microscope the group's cheek cells, blood drops, saliva, skin, and hair, and asking questions about what we can see under the lens and what we want to remain invisible. Moving outside, to a group of telescopes, we'll explore landmarks and limits in three locales: the California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park; SFMOMA in downtown San Francisco; and the San Francisco Art Institute's Chestnut Street Campus. Conducting a kind of interior and exterior check-up, Caycedo lets us consider physical and social systems eluding our sight.
Friday, December 7, 2012, Time TBD
California Academy of Sciences
Sunday, December 9, 2012, 11 am - 3:00 pm
SFMOMA, Rooftop Garden
Monday, December 10, 2012, 6 pm
San Francisco Art Institute
Caycedo appears at SFAI as part of the performance series for "Here, There, and Elsewhere," a festival held in conjunction with two SFMOMA exhibitions: Six Lines of Flight and South Africa in Apartheid and After. Together, the exhibitions and the festival explore a collection of stories about art-making in under-recognized places within the global art economy.
For more information about the dates and times of these events, please visit: www.sfmoma.org/exhib_events/events/2217
About the Artist
Caycedo's projects set-up alternative economies and new types of exchange between local communities and the seemingly global art world. In street actions, marches, barters, and banners, her works picture people and the social forms that surround, displace, or capture them. In her piece Eres Caleño? (Are you from Cali?), from III Festival de Performance de Cali (October 30, 1999), Caycedo interviewed native residents about their neighborhoods, the post-drug cartel cityscape, and their favorite and least favorite things about Cali. The recorded interviews create intimate and individual portraits of the city.
About the Visiting Artists and Scholars Lecture Series
SFAI's Visiting Artists and Scholars (VAS) lecture series provides students and faculty—as well as the wider Bay Area public—with direct exposure to major figures in contemporary global art and culture. It creates an open forum through which SFAI's students are challenged to go beyond basic canonical approaches to the study of art and to discover a global perspective that encourages conceptual and comparative approaches. In addition to the public lectures they give, visiting artists and scholars regularly engage with students in an immediate and active way, by teaching intensives or by participating in seminars, critiques, or colloquia.
All VAS lectures begin at 7:30 pm in the Lecture Hall on SFAI's 800 Chestnut Street campus. For a complete schedule of SFAI's lectures and events, please visit www.sfai.edu/events
Thank You to Our Sponsors!
SFAI's exhibitions and public programs—a component of which is the Visiting Artists and Scholars Lecture Series—are supported in part by the Grants for the Arts/San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund. The Winfred Johnson Clive Foundation Distinguished Visiting Fellowships in Interdisciplinary Painting Practices are funded by the Winifred Johnson Clive Foundation. The Richard Diebenkorn Teaching Fellowship is funded by the generosity of the family of Richard Diebenkorn.

A task force incorporating officials and residents from both towns is poised to take a look at three elementary school options within the Manchester Essex Regional School District.
The district is still gathering input through surveys, and has a number of meetings on the horizon, with school parents also having a role on the task force.
Manchester's Board of Selectmen voted 3-2 last week to have first-year Selectman Eli Boling represent the town, while Essex will be sending Selectmen Susan Coviello, who formerly served on and led the regional school committee.
Others on the task force include members of the finance committees from each town, parents from preschools, at large residents and parents of school children as well as co-chairs Caroline Weld and James Haskell of the regional school committee.
"I think we've known for quite some time we are going to have to do something about the state of the elementary schools," Boling said Monday.
While Gloucester has ruled out a single unified school, it's one of three options under consideration for the regional district.
Others include renovating and repair each of the current schools with the current grade schedule, or having a renovated Essex Elementary house students from pre-kindergarten through second grade, while a revitalized Manchester Memorial would serve those in Grades 3-5.
"We have to try and find out what the towns want from a cultural standpoint," Boling said.
He said the task force and the path to new or renovated elementary schools is just beginning.
The panel is set to meet with local constituent groups and have a report ready in November.
James Niedzinski can be reached at 978-283-7000, x 3455 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Rep. Richard DeBolt, the state House Republican leader from Chehalis, just got back from the Grand Canyon, so he missed the story on Democrat Mike Rechner announcing a second challenge to him.
For the record, DeBolt said it wasnt a surprise.
I knew he was going to announce, and its going to be negative. Hes a negative person. Hes running against me, hes not running for the seat, DeBolt said.
Just to be fair, heres what Rechner said in his announcement: The incumbent isn't working for 'we the people' anymore. After he got elected 10 years ago, we still have a dangerous stretch of two-lane interstate, our children aren't getting the education they need to compete against the billions of kids in China and India, and our unemployment is still among the highest in the state.
In other news, U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has resigned. This was a surprise for DeBolt (and a lot of other people, too.), especially after the president stands up for you. But this whole administration, its time for it to be over.
DeBolt said he didnt expect Bush to factor into the race for president all that much. Indeed, he predicted the current field of candidates will not factor into it all that much, either.
My prediction is it will be Fred Thompson versus Al Gore. Because I dont think people want anybody thats running know. They want a fresh perspective, he said.

New artists featured at Destination Gallery/Global Friends Center
- Last Updated on 11:35 AM 08/21/12
- BY Special to the Gazette
The associates of the Global Friends Center and Destination Gallery in South Boston will host a "global friends" summer celebration with wine, punch and hors d'oeuvres on Thursday at 5:30 p.m.
The gallery, located at 217A Main Street, is introducing the works of three major new artists, as well as exciting new works by the 45 artists already represented in the gallery.
Jennifer Adams is a classical oil painter from Easton, Pa. whose prize-winning works have been exhibited in top galleries in Philadelphia and eastern Pennsylvania. She has studied fine art at The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Schuler School of Fine Arts in Baltimore and the Ridgewood Art Institute in New Jersey.
She is a graduate of Lehigh University with degrees in accounting, fine art and American Literature.
Trained in the classical style, Adams defines her approach.
"My purpose is to capture the splendor of light in a manner that evokes an emotional response from the viewer," she said.
One of the many joys of painting for her is to paint "en plein air" or outside using natural light. She is a successful commissioned portrait artist and a teacher as well.
Carol DeBolt Eikenberry, a Virginia Beach artist, works intuitively in acrylic and watercolor. A graduate of the University of Michigan School of Art and Design, she is an distinguished member of the Virginia Watercolor Society, the Potomac Valley Watercolorists and the Chesapeake Bay Watercolorists, the American Watercolor Society and the National Watercolor Society.
Her impressionistic watercolors and realistic land and seascapes reflect images of her travels in Europe and the Caribbean.
Her work is in many private and corporate collections including IBM and Canon. She also writes extensively for American Artist and International Artist magazines.
"I paint with passion and from the heart. I think my artwork reflects this energy and exploratory approach," Eikenberry said.
Judith Kowler is a landscape artist whose visual language evokes the "Impressionists," but with her own unique color palette and vibrant interplay of color, shapes, shadows and textures.
Kowler's creative journey is continually evolving.
She said, "I have avoided becoming comfortable with a particular style and prefer each work to be a spirited and open investigation of subject, formal considerations and process."
An award-winning artist from the Richmond area, she exhibits at numerous galleries in several states.
Visitors will recognize new works by local artists, Betty Caldwell, Rebecca Rodgers and Phil Ramsey and Jane Carter and Inara Dodson of Danville.
Virginia artists include Stuart White, Inge Strach, Hugh Townsend Harris, Jana Baker, Nancy Martin, Norma Marple, Brenda Stankus, Yancey Smith and others. The gallery also features the fine ceramics of Robin Cage, Mat Stafford and Pam Jones, the exquisite glass art of Mark Woodham, Bonnie M. Brown, Trudy Thompson, and Ron Tickerhoff, and the decorative and functional ceramics of Linda Prager, Cathy Giffney and Trista Chapman, as well as the fine craftsmanship of wood artist, Richard Bieber.
A special area of the gallery showcases the beautiful hand-fashioned jewelry of Michelle Amato Topp, Sarah Spaniol, Bonnie Brown and Joy Cunningham.
A new addition is the hand-crafted beadwork of Ecuadorean women who are part of an international artisanal business development initiative. These colorful beads are unusual and versatile and make wonderful gifts for a very good cause.
Visitors will find unlimited opportunities to buy beautiful original art and one-of-a-kind gifts.
Destination Gallery and the Global Friends Center is a committee of Destination Downtown South Boston. As a non-profit, the commission on all sales goes to a fund for the enrichment of downtown artistic, cultural and community activities.
The gallery and offices are located at 217A Main Street. Hours are Tuesday and Wednesday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Thursday and Friday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The phone number is 434-575-0024.

The impending damage that Hurricane Sandy could bring to Connecticut could mean a significant amount of power outages in Southington, but after a rare October snowstorm in 2011, officials said the town is prepared for a fast and efficient response.
Southington Town Manager Garry Brumback said late last week that the 2011 storm was memorable for many reasons, some which were frustrating and difficult to deal with including the loss of power for almost 90 percent of the community, but called the previous storm "a wake up call" and said a lot of lessons were learned.
"The town did really well with the storm, but there were a lot of things that also needed to be addressed, particularly with some of the outside agencies we worked with," Brumback said.

"Those agencies have stepped it up this time already," he said. "CL&P been through town trimming trees and making sure lines are safe. They are prepared to go. We are exactly where we were in terms of leaf pick-up and in event have something similar, we expect a certain amount of destruction and are prepared."
Responding to a Major Weather Event
One of the reasons the town was able to stay in good shape following the 2011 snowstorm was the use of technology social media to respond to community needs. Use of the town's website and the Southington Police Department's Facebook page were essential in keeping the public updated.
Lt. Lowell DePalma said following the previous storm, the Facebook page proved an important means of remaining in contact with the public.
"It was our lifeline to let the public know what was going on and what to expect," DePalma said during the previous interview. "Anytime we received information in our emergency response center, we are able to put it online for the public in real time."
What memories do you have of last year's storm? Did you take photos of damage or community unity? Share those with us as well!
Police have already activated their emergency operations center and will use the page once again to provide updates on road closures, storm anticipation, shelter updates and more. This page can be accessed from cell phones and other technology, officials said.
To see complete updates, click on the link provided.
The Southngton Police Department during the following storm also created a registry designed to improve response and assist those in need.
Business Impact of Major Storms
For residents and business owners, it was hard not to see an impact from the storm. Organizations like Tropical Tanning suffered significant loss of business as a result of the blackout and were forced to regroup when the power came back on.
""We aren't in sales. We can't open our doors and simply sell stuff," said Vito Montelli, owner of Tropical Tanning. "With tanning bed services, we are dependent on the electricity. CL&P service is critical to our overhead; it is the largest bill I have every month."
Recovering from Damage
Although damage and recovery from the 2011 snowstorm exceed $1 million in costs, the town found itself responsible for less than $300,000 of it, thanks in large part to a Federal Emergency Management Agency reimbursement received.
The town is currently awaiting a check from the federal government for 75 percent of the, Southington Town Attorney Mark Sciota said.
"Most of the money recovered would go back to the town or to organizations who assisted with debris removal," Sciota said. "The council has also pledged to pay back the Southington YMCA for costs associated with providing relief to residents. That's a small amount; the rest will go to the general fund."
Should the impending storm cause similar damage, Brumback said he anticipates the town would once again be eligible to apply for relief from the federal government. The hope remains, as always, that this would not be necessary, he said.

NORMAN — "If this had happened while a Republican was president, the liberal media would be screaming."
We've been hearing that a lot lately from conservatives, and with good reason.
There's the Justice Department's aggressive attempts to learn how classified information got leaked to the news media, and then there is the Internal Revenue Service admitting that it has targeted conservative groups that applied for tax-exempt status.
Setting aside for another day the question of whether the national news media is all that liberal, as a gun-hating, abortion- and gay-rights-supporting admirer of President Barack Obama … I'm screaming. It's not one of your short-lived, horror movie screams, either. No, this is Edvard Munch, Scream of Nature despair stuff.
While right-wing politicians and their amen chorus in the media have made victimization and paranoia an art form, in this case they happen to be right about all this being scream-worthy.
The Department of Justice's Mission Statement includes ensuring "public safety against threats foreign and domestic." It also includes ensuring "fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans." In its efforts to accomplish the former, the Justice Department trampled on the latter.
It is an abomination.
Last year, Attorney General Eric Holder and the Obama administration were catching a lot of heat over an information leak that led to an Associated Press story about an unsuccessful plan by terrorists to bomb a U.S. airplane.
Recusing himself because he had already been questioned about the leak to the AP, Holder left it to Deputy Attorney General James Cole, who decided to ask a judge for a secret subpoena of AP phone records.
The Justice Department apparently didn't listen in on any conversations between AP reporters and their sources, but it knew who the reporters called and who called them. It's almost impossible to overstate the chilling effect that could have.
While I doubt that any of the reporters were intimidated, the same can't be said for the people they spoke to … or are likely to speak to in the future. Why would confidential sources or whistleblowers have anything to do with a reporter if they think the government will have a record of the call?
In 2010, our Justice Department also obtained subpoenas and search warrants for the phone records, emails and security badge tracking of Fox News correspondent James Rosen. Rosen had revealed that the Central Intelligence Agency had a 2009 source in North Korea who said that country was about to conduct a nuclear weapons test.
Mr. Holder will be spending a lot of time over the next few months answering questions from Congress about his involvement in the Rosen matter.
This isn't about the problems of journalists. It's about Americans' right to unintimidated information that only a free press can provide.
The IRS didn't do itself any good when it let politics infect its work. IRS agents in Cincinnati delayed approval of tax-exempt status for conservative groups over an 18-month period that included the 2010 and 2012 election cycles. The delays — while requests from liberal groups whizzed through — certainly didn't help the conservatives' fundraising efforts. That stinks. But the Republicans would be wise not to overplay a pat hand.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has an ad out this week giving the impression that Obama sicced the IRS on his political opponents. That kind of unsubstantiated blather will only get in the way of what is a major headache for the White House and for Democrats in the 2014 elections.
Also muddying the waters is continued bloviating by some in the GOP about the murders of four Americans in Benghazi. Unending investigations of that tragedy are rightly seen by most Americans as blatant politics.
Isn't it enough that between the IRS outrage and the Justice Department fiascos, a lot of Americans are wondering what kind of country we're living in? Where is our freedom from government overreach? Even if President Obama had no direct involvement, it's still happening on his watch. It's mortifying to see these abuses occur.
And yes, it's quite enough to make me want to scream.

The owners of Forever Yours Florist were devastated when a car crash gutted their business and left the shop closed indefinitely.
Because the damage was so severe, owners Hamid and Dana Emami weren't sure what was going to happen to the small flower shop they had been nurturing for nearly the last two decades.
"At first, we weren't sure whether we would have to relocate, we weren't sure if our insurance would cover it, and we weren't sure what the landlord was going to do," Dana Emami said. "Everything was very much up in the air."
Eight months later, the Emamis have managed to re-open the flower shop—sans the cafe—and they are steadily trying to make a comeback after they lost so much time and money because of the accident.
Forever Yours still looks the same on the outside and inside, but the Emamis said it took a long time to rebuild because they had to weigh their financial options.
Although it has been a struggle over the last several weeks since the shop opened its doors again, the husband-and-wife team said they're just happy that no one was injured in the accident and that they can get back to what they're passionate about: the flower business.
Just before 8 p.m. on Jan. 13, Friday the 13th to be exact, Hamid had just closed down the shop and left for the day when a driver in a town car was seen speeding down El Camino Real. The driver crashed into several parked vehicles and then careened into the front of the shop, igniting a fire.
According to an amateur YouTube video taken of the accident, emergency personnel made several attempts to persuade the driver to get out of the car as the building was engulfed in flames and black smoke. But the driver was hesitant at first.
"Get out of the car," they yelled amid the chaos. "You're not in trouble."
Miraculously, the driver walked out of the building seemingly unhurt.
The driver, 26-year-old Sean Hernandez of Pacifica, was later arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, police said. It is not known whether Hernandez was formally charged with anything.
To this day, the Emamis still don't know what exactly happened or what happened to Hernandez.
Dana said she's just glad that Hamid didn't go back to the shop that night like he had planned. He was on his way to pick up some milk for the cafe's refrigerator but changed his mind because he wanted to go home instead.
"If he would have got (the milk), he would have come back at the time of the accident and he wouldn't have made it," Dana said.
Now, they're starting to see many of their customers come back, and that brings them hope that Forever Yours will still have a future in San Bruno.
"A lot of them were saying, 'I've been trying to buy flowers and I had to go somewhere else,' when we were rebuilding," Hamid said. "I'm hoping that as everybody finds out more, they'll come back."

Actor Roy Billing, who plays Anna's boss, Clint, in the TV One hit comedy series Agent Anna, is defending the programme which is facing criticism from real estate agents.
Barfoot & Thomson managing director Peter Thompson has called it a "load of rubbish" and Real Estate Institute of NZ chief executive Helen O'Sullivan has described the lying, back-stabbing, cheating and promiscuity depicted on the programme as "not real life", despite not having watched the show.
But Billing, who has starred in Hell Has Harbour Views, Packed to the Rafters and Under the Mountain, said: "I have had many dealings with estate agents in New Zealand and Australia, and when I first saw the scripts I thought that many of the real estate scenes read more like a documentary than a fictional TV series, but funny nevertheless.
"Ms O'Sullivan begs to differ and would have us all believe that real estate agents are near sainthood in their business practices, as I am sure all commission sales people are.
"Maybe I, [and] hundreds of thousands of Kiwi viewers, and all of us involved in Agent Anna are missing something here?"

What would you make with these ingredients?
Looking for a dinner idea for tonight. I have cooked rice, cauliflower, carrots and sweet peppers on hand. Plus the usual spices/herbs, garlic, olive oil, etc. I thought about curry but that isn't really calling out to me.
What would you creative ones make with the above? Bonus points if it can be made in an hour. Oh, and meatless please.
Can't wait to read your ideas! Thanks!!
Grilling caulflower is my new "thing" lately. I toss with olive oil, salt and pepper and whatever spice/combination of spices that is calling to me or will compliment the rest of the meal and put it on a wire rack on the grill over medium heat. the edges get all nice and brown and you get little crispy bits. Oooh, I love it!
Toss the roasted cauliflower together with some canned/drained chick peas that you've tossed with the same spices and toasted in the oven on a cookie sheet, and serve with rice on the side.
the chick peas can be left unattended, and the rice can cook while you're grilling the caulflower.
You'll have a meal ready in the time it takes for you to make the rice.
Try this I dont know if you use eggs or egg substitute.
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 c minced onions
1 tsp garlic
1 1/2 c cooked brown rice(or what ever you have)
Try using basamati rice in this recipe
5 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese(Omit if you dont have)
2 Tbsp + 1 1/2 cups fat free egg substitute , divided (if you prefer use 7 whole beaten eggs instead of egg substitute)
1 c broccoli florets (if you like asparagus use 3/4 inch pieces instead of broccoli)
1/2 c chopped red peppers can also add carrots and cauliflour if you choose
1/2 c shredded light mozzarella or swiss cheese
1/2 tep salt
1/4 tsp dill
1/4 tsp pepper
1 plum tomato, thinly sliced
preheat oven to 350f spray an 8 inch cake pan or cassarole dish with pam
Heat olive oil in a small skillet over med heat. Add onions and garlic .Cook and stir until onions are tender about two mins.Transfer onion mixture to a med. bowl. Add cooked rice,Parm. cheese, and 2 Tbsp egg substitute. Mix well. Spread mixture evenly over bottom of prepared pan and press down evenly over bottom of prepared pan and press down with the back of a spoon to make a crust.
Top crust with florets(or asparagus) carrots, peppers and shredded cheese, in that order. Om another medium bowl, whisk together remaining egg substitute,salt, basil, and pepper. Pour over veggies and cheese. Top with tomato slices and sprinkle with remaing Parmasen cheese.
Bake quiche for 45 mins, or until its puffed up and golden,
and eggs are set. Let stand for at least 5 mins before serving

Article: On Foot Map: Steppin' Out Below 14th
Visitors Guide: Lower East Side Tenement Museum
Visitors Guide: Lower East Side
- November 7, 2010 at 11:55 pm(1) A Coyle says:
National Geographic Traveler's "Steppin' Out Below 14th" is all well and good for the upscale traveler. With the exception of mentioning the Lower East Side Tenement Museum, the map glosses over the fact that the Lower East Side is the most historic neighborhood in the country. For those interested in learning about the history of the Lower East Side, consider one of the many walking tours from the Lower East Side History Project, http://www.leshp.org/tours, an award winning non-profit organization dedicated to research, education and preservation of the Lower East Side to raise awareness of the Lower East Side's historic significance and influence in world history.
