With the recent mine layoffs and slumping enrollment in both traditional and Vision schools, is another school in the North Fork Valley a viable option? That's the question facing Delta County school board members.
At their monthly meeting on Dec. 12, they will first consider moving the North Fork Community Montessori School from Hotchkiss to Crawford to boost enrollment numbers there and keep the school open for preschool-sixth grade students.
Also on the agenda is a decision on the charter application from Blossom Valley School proponents. The Waldorf model is currently being operated as a homeschool co-op at two Paonia locations.
The charter school application was the focus of a community meeting last week in Paonia. At a work session on Monday of this week, applicants answered questions from school board members.
It was pointed out 16 of the "intend to enroll" students are on both the Montessori and the Blossom Valley lists. School board members said they understand those students will go to the Montessori school, if that option is still available.
The target for the Montessori-Crawford combination is 100 students. The Blossom Valley Charter School anticipates 61 students in grades preschool through eighth grades. Half of those students are already involved in the co-op, proponents said. A significant portion of the remaining enrollment would come from families willing to move to the North Fork Valley for the Waldorf experience. Blossom Valley proponents argue the charter school would actually help increase school district enrollment.
Even if they lose the 16 students slated for enrollment in the Montessori program, proponents say they would be able to maintain a viable budget. They consider their enrollment numbers to be very conservative, since they have done no marketing or outreach. Second, many of the proponents were involved with the Lamborn School, a contract school near Paonia that ran on a very lean budget until it closed a few years ago.
As for families that might be moving out of the area in search of work, proponents said only one or two students would potentially be affected by the mine layoffs.
Curriculum and student performance were also addressed. Board member Tammy Smith pointed out Waldorf students spend 14 hours a week on core subjects, but 16 on electives. "How will you teach mastery in the time allotted?" she asked.
Jodeen Stephensen, a teacher who has worked in the public school system, said the subjects are totally integrated so even when students are working on an art project or cooking in the kitchen, their core subjects are being reinforced. Handwork, foreign languages, gardening, movement and music are some of the other electives offered through Waldorf.
As for performance, Stephensen said they take testing seriously. It is true that some of the Waldorf curriculum does not mesh with state expectations at certain grade levels, so it will be her responsibility to fill the gaps to ensure the majority of students meet or exceed state standards in all subject areas. Primary students may score lower than average on standardized tests, but they soon catch up and pass their counterparts in traditional schools.
A decision on the charter school application must be made by month's end. Superintendent Caryn Gibson said a special meeting might be required later this month, if the board needs more time to review the lengthy application.

Western Kentucky University is a center of learning dedicated to opportunities for creative scholarship and pursuit of excellence in higher education. The University strives to provide a suitable range of undergraduate and graduate specialties within an academic climate designed to promote the constructive objectives of liberal education.
Creative scholarship implies research and the University recognizes that creative inquiry frequently leads to the necessity of acquiring materials and assistance not normally available. To encourage the extension of creative inquiry and contributions to knowledge, some limited monetary assistance has been made available for student research projects that conform to the general guidelines set forth below. This monetary assistance is to be treated as grant funding and the recipient will be held accountable for any misuse of funding.
The Graduate Student Research Grant Committee (GSRGC) reviews the student proposals and recommends funding to the Graduate Council. This committee consists of three faculty Graduate Council members and a student member .
A graduate student interested in securing funds through the Graduate Student Research Grant Committee of the Graduate Council should have a logical and clearly defined project. To assist in the formulation and for purposes of grant consideration, the student is requested to complete a rather basic grant request application form and supporting proposal documentation. Please use these guidelines to prepare your proposal.
I. Applying for Graduate Student Research Grants
1. The student and faculty advisor will develop the research proposal and submit the grant application and budget forms. STUDENTS MAY APPLY FOR NO MORE THAN THREE STUDENT RESEARCH GRANTS PER DEGREE TOTALING $2000. (Note: This amount was recently increased from $1500 to $2000. If you received a grant under the previous guidelines, you may reapply for the remaining $500. These proposals must meet all other guidelines that are stipulated on this page.)
2. The grant application form requires signatures from the student, faculty advisor, department head, and college dean prior to submitting the application to the Graduate School.
3. The student and faculty advisor are responsible for meeting and adhering to all requirements and guidelines pertaining to graduate student research funding.
4. Please submit the following:
- Faculty letter acknowledging that the faculty member is aware of the student's request
- One-page student bio
- Original copy of the application, proposal and budget form
- Copy of the Human Subjects Review Board (HSRB) approval or Institutional Animal
Care and Use Committee (IACUC) approval (if applicable).
The Graduate Student Research Committee reviews research proposals monthly during the fall and spring semesters. The committee does not review proposals during December, May and the summer months. Students conducting research in the summer months should submit the application materials early in the spring semester to allow adequate time for approvals.
II. Preparing the Budget for Student Research Proposals
Fundable Expenses for student research funding include:
- Secretarial, subject participation payments, and other assistance where such is
needed to carry out the project;
- Special materials and equipment, if they are not of the type that the department
would be expected to have or to acquire
- Travel where such is vital to conducting the research
- Cost of interlibrary loan and copying for procurement of information and documents
not otherwise available (Evidence should be presented ascertaining the availability
of the materials in the off-campus library or other site)
- Necessary stationery, supplies, and postage, including that needed for questionnaires.
Non-fundable expenses for student research funding include:
- Funding for expenditures already incurred.
- Funding for conference fees or travel to conferences.
- Typing of the thesis, which may or may not have been related to the research grants.
- Equipment the academic department could be expected to purchase for normal operations
or for support of a thesis/specialist project.
- Books the library may be reasonably expected to acquire as part of its holdings.
- Salary for the student.
Editing, per se, will not qualify for a grant. This is based on the assumption that the researcher or others have already performed the necessary research.
The student project budget must meet the following criteria:
- The budget for the proposed research project must be itemized.
- The budget must contain items directly related to and supported by the student's
research proposal. Items with the intent of departmental use will not be approved.
- The student and faculty advisor are responsible for following the approved research
budget. Any deviations from this budget will not be approved. If an item(s) need(s)
to be added or substituted, and provided the total expenses do not exceed the amount
awarded, the student may submit a revised budget for consideration. If a student incurs
costs on his/her index that are not itemized on his/her budget he/she or the department
may be held liable.
- The project budget must total at least $150.
III. Consideration of Student Research Proposals
The Budget Manager in the Graduate School will email an agenda to the student and faculty advisor noting the time and place of the meeting and estimated time of the student's appearance before the committee. Students should be prepared to provide an overview of the project and answer follow-up questions by the committee. Faculty advisors are strongly encouraged to attend.
The Budget Manager in the Graduate School will notify the student and faculty advisor of the disposition of the research project request. If the proposal is approved, the Budget Manager will contact the Accounting Office to set up an account under the student's name. Students will not be able to access funds at this point.
After receipt of the student account number in the Graduate School, the Budget Manager will send the student his/her account information. The student will receive the following forms by mail: (1.) Letter of approval with instructions on accessing the funds, amount of award, and the expiration date of the research account, (2.) An "Initial Contract" listing the student's account number, (3.) And a "Final Contract."
The letter of approval includes instructions on accessing the funds, the amount of the award, and the expiration date of the research account. Copies will be sent to the faculty advisor.
The Initial Contract must be submitted prior to receiving the funds. This contract includes the student's account number. It is the student's responsibility to know his/her account number. The student and faculty advisor must sign and date this form. The contract should be returned to the Graduate School.
The Final Contract must be submitted after the research project is completed. The student must fill in appropriate information and attach an itemized expenditure sheet. The student and faculty advisor must sign and date this form. The contract and expenditure sheet should be returned to the Graduate School.
Provided the student returns the Initial Contract, the Budget Manager will transfer funds into the student's account. This transfer may take several days as several departments are involved in the process, and the Graduate School is not notified when the funds are available. When the funds are in place, the student may begin purchasing items from the budget.
IV. Accessing Student Research Funds
Students and faculty advisors should work with the department office associate (or other knowledgeable staff) to submit requests for purchases. Except for travel, services rendered expenditures, payment of human subjects with either gift cards or cash and University-available services, all purchases must be made on the department's procurement card. Students, faculty advisors, and departments will not be reimbursed for expenses which do not adhere to proper purchasing procedures. Under no circumstances will inter-account transfers or other vouchers (those not listed below) be approved for reimbursement.
Students may need to pay for travel expenses or services rendered as approved by the Committee. In this case, the student should complete a Travel Expense Voucher or a Payment Authorization Sheet (for services rendered) and submit it to the Graduate School for approval. The faculty advisor or department office associate should be able to assist the student in completing these forms. The Budget Manager will consider the form(s) after reviewing the student's budget. If the form is approved, it will be forwarded to the appropriate department. Travel vouchers allow students to be reimbursed for travel expenditures; the Payment Authorization Sheet allows the individual who renders services to receive a paycheck from the University. (The Travel Expense Voucher and Payment Authorization Sheet can be found on the Office of the Controller's website.)
Students paying human subjects with either gift cards or cash should refer to the Guidelines for paying human subjects and should have Human Subjects Review Board (HSRB) approval. (Guidelines can be found on the Graduate School's website.)
The University provides several services, i.e., printing (copying) and postage, to its constituents. The student must use a University service if that service is available. In this case, the student must obtain a permission form from the Graduate School before using the service.
V. Completing Student Research Projects
Once the student has completed his/her research project (or thesis) or expended all available funds (whichever comes first within the one-year expiration period), s/he must submit a detailed expense sheet. This sheet must include all purchased items and their costs and total amount of used research funds, and may be included in the final project report. (See "Budget Form").
While research has recognizable characteristics visible in all disciplines, it is recognized that variations in techniques and points of emphasis exist among the disciplines involved. Consequently, the comments and examples set forth in these guidelines should not be construed as exhaustive, but rather as measures to facilitate the prime objective—expansion of graduate student research on Western Kentucky University's campus.
To encourage research on a wide basis, the committee will fund as many projects as possible. Therefore, grants will be limited to a maximum of $2000, except for unusually meritorious requests. Any equipment or other items purchased with grant funds become property of the University.
Graduate student research funds are provided from state appropriations and, consequently, must be utilized in accordance with approved regulations. The funds are maintained by the Office of Accounts & Budgetary Control and are used transactions, which have been properly processed. The student must work through departmental procedures in obtaining office associate help, purchases, and other forms of assistance. Out-of-state travel requests must be initiated with the department head at least two weeks prior to the departure date.
While publication is not the primary goal of the committee in granting financial assistance, proposals aimed toward publication or presentation at professional meetings are encouraged. Appropriate acknowledgment of support should appear in any resulting publication.
Please keep in mind that receiving a grant is a process. There are many offices and people involved in gaining access to the grant money once it is awarded by the proper channels. Be mindful that from the date you turn in your application for a grant it will likely be two months before you have access to the money. This includes the time needed to schedule a presentation time, be approved by the GSR Grant committee, be approved by Graduate Council, have a grant index established, have paperwork prepared for the grantee to sign and return, and for the money to be transferred to a usable index. Please be patient with the process and apply early!

Get out and play!
Those of us with kids know just what a challenge it can be for our kids to get enough outside playtime even under the best winter conditions, but this year it's really tough. My encouragement to you is to view this as a challenge to be overcome, rather than an obstacle to beat your head into.

Worlds bronze was a product of Unpredictability. Look at 2010 to 2013 - only constant chan. You can have kozuka silver and then 11th. You have Ten 2nd from 7th. Takahashi 2nd to 6th and in 2011 5th after winning. was Sure gachinski was 3 to 18. But it's severe fluctuation from lots of people. Have to factor euros silver. The only constant has been Chan. Denis ten almost won! Worlds has a lot of flucuation now and "flukes" until they're not.
What would be awesome to see is which men people were saying would dominate after 2010 back in 2009?
Gachinski has had his share of problems..but so have so many of these other very high level skaters..and come next season, one would be a fool to write ANY of them off! Remeber what happened to Weir in 2006-2007?? And when he was totally dismissed, he came back and won the World BRONZE the following year, after re-inventing hiimself!! This can and has been done before. There is SO much depth in men's skating nowadays..I simply cannot wait to see who does what and who goes where and where everyone ends up! It's going to be an incredible year!!!
I he did it once though he could do it again. From what it seems, Gatchinski doesn't have the best head for competition, but he has gotten very good results a few times, and he is only 19, so it could be addressed and if so, he could do very well. I know D10 had injuries but I also thought some of his frequent meltdowns were due to being too anxiety prone to be a good competition and then last night - BOOM, amazingness. In the SP and FS actually. So you never know. Gatchinski does have a lot of talent and can do like 3 different quads already I think.
That being said I still like Kovtun and hope the Russian Fed doesn't socially lynch him after this. He still has a lot of potential and seems to have a nice demeanor about him and a fire in his belly. I liked how he came out all fired up at the start of his FS last night. Now he just needs to work on the stamina, and not letting the Fed get to him. I think TAT will try to protect him though.
He's such a cutie. Still need a lot of work but he's sooo young. He will get there!
Who? Too lazy to go backward to check pre 2010 posts.Originally Posted by Iron Lady
Now that Ten has proved himself, certainly he will be one to jostle for the 'super talents' title. One of my bet is still on Hanyu.

Cedar Rapids Weather
Iowa Remains in Drought Despite Recent PrecipitationBy George Ford, Reporter
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Drought conditions continue across Iowa, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's, as little precipitation fell in January.
As the month came to a close, topsoil moisture levels rated 46 percent very short, 44 percent short, 10 percent adequate, and no surplus. The driest area of Iowa was the southwest corner with 58 percent very short. Over half of the land is reported to be very short of moisture in four of the nine districts in the state. Northwest, north central, west central and southwest Iowa all reported 52 percent or more of the land is very short of moisture. Availability of hay and forage supplies fell to 47 percent short, 52 percent adequate and 1 percent surplus with 33 percent of the remaining supply in good condition. Large square bales of hay sold for $221.50 per ton and large round bales sold for $200 to $240 per ton on Jan. 30 at the Dyersville Sales hay auction. Large square bales of third crop hay sold for $190 to $320 per ton at the Fort Atkinson Hay Auction the same day. Home heating requirements, as estimated by heating degree-day totals, averaged 11 percent greater than last January but 6 percent less than normal. Degree-day totals so far this heating season (since July 1, 2012) are running 8 percent higher than a year ago, but 6 percent less than normal. State Climatologist Harry Hillaker noted that temperatures fluctuated widely in January, with temperatures dipping below zero as well as rising to near 60 degrees in some areas of the state. The coldest weather came on Jan. 1, 21 and 31. Elkader reported the lowest official temperature of the month with a reading of minus 15 degrees on New Year's morning. On the other extreme, there were a few daily record high temperatures set or tied over portions of southern and Eastern Iowa on Jan. 11, 19, 28 and 29. Creston and Mount Ayr recorded the month's highest temperatures with a reading of 64 degrees in the pre-dawn hours of Jan. 29.

The Men's Health Network, Nigeria (MHNN): Social networking, social franchising, new technologies, and traditional prevention for high-risk men, including MSM (PDF)
Poster presentation at 5th International AIDS Society (IAS) Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention, Cape Town, 19-22 July
Karlyn,Andrew; Adebajo,Sylvia; Nwachukwu,Chukwuemeka; Darby,Heather; Tun,Waimar; Kellerman,Scott E.
Publication date: 2009
There remains considerable stigma and discrimination toward men who have sex with men (MSM) in Nigeria. Although work has documented particularly high-risk behaviors, there remain limited services promoting healthy sexual behavior among these populations. Health care providers are largely unaware of the special needs of MSM, and nearly all available health education messages focus on vertical, iatrogenic, and heterosexual vaginal transmission of HIV/STI with no mention of the risks involved in either heterosexual or homosexual unprotected anal sex. To address this gap Population Council, Nigeria, designed and implemented the Nigeria Men's Health Network (NMHN), the first comprehensive prevention intervention program focusing on high-risk men.
The NMHN employs multiple integrated approaches to create demand for and availability of "hassle-free" health and social services through the provision of a comprehensive HIV prevention package to bring about behavior change, change community norms, improve access to and quality of community-based care and treatment (HCT) and sexually transmitted disease (STI) services, and to reduce HIV risk among men engaged in high-risk behaviors. Techniques used to achieve these goals include mapping of MSM networks to employ social network approaches as a strategy for dissemination of health information and to increase demand for health and prevention services among high risk men, social franchising of health services to allow recognition of MSM-friendly health services by those in need, and electronic data collection in the form of smart cards to ensure appropriate data collection for monitoring and evaluation purposes.
Preliminary work has documented that despite prevailing homophobia, there is willingness by partners to move forward with provision of quality care and prevention for MSM.
MSM continue to suffer disproportionately from stigma and discrimination and to have disproportionately high rates of HIV. MSM-specific health and prevention interventions are essential but require creative approaches.

Artist with a Calling
Fairfield Porter: A Life in Art
Fairfield Porter: A Life in Art
Selections from the Fairfield Porter Papers Institution, New York, March 16-July 10, 2000
Art in Its Own Terms: Selected Criticism, 1935-1975 (1983)
Fairfield Porter: An American Classic (1992)
Fairfield Porter: The Collected Poems, with Selected Drawings (1985)
Thomas Eakins (1959)
Fairfield Porter was one of the most intensely ethical painters in the annals of American art, so he might wonder about the claims that have been made for him in the years since his death. Justin Spring's biography is now the second major study of the painter that fudges the significance of a figure whose standing was ambiguous already for most of his career. Spring begins and ends his account by quoting John Ashbery's estimation that Porter is "perhaps the major American artist of this century." John T. Spike, in turn, in his profusely illustrated 1992 account of Porter's art and life, used as his shield, as it were, Hilton Kramer's belief that Porter is "an American classic." Both of Porter's biographers imply that they understand that the high claims of Ashbery and Kramer (and a few others) aren't universally held; but neither stops to examine, really, what is now a growing chasm between this artist's admirers and those for whom he's barely on the chart. Neither acknowledges that Porter, who was also a serious and shrewd critic, came far closer to the reality of the situation when he wrote in his last years, "I think sometimes that as far as museums and patrons are concerned that I may be 'finished,' that is, that it has been decided that my work is not really any good."
Justin Spring has also organized a small Porter exhibition at the AXA Gallery in New York, and it, complemented by his biography and a show at the Archives of American Art of their Porter holdings, brings back with full force that mixture of the endearing and the disheartening that the artist arouses. Porter, whose very name can conjure up everything that's idyllic about a summer on the Maine coast, was, besides a landscapist, a painter of people, city views, and the occasional still life. Classy and solid in one picture, he is strikingly vacant in the next, making paintings that look like the work of a student so determined to pin down the rudiments of his art that there's nothing remotely personal about the work. Even at his best, which is invariably in his pictures without people, Porter, whose work took off in the early 1960s, when he was in his mid-fifties, isn't saying anything particularly new about how to perceive reality. But his view—it might be of Maine islands seen from a distance, a Long Island back yard, or even some cars pulled up by the side of a house—has a memorable mixture of suavity and clunkiness.
Whether his brushwork and surfaces were oily and dense, or appeared in thin, runny, and fumbling strokes, Porter made the very act of painting inviting. The ultimate message of his strongest pictures sometimes seems to be "Why don't you try making one?" Porter also became over the years one of our best painters of light. He's amazing at suggesting any number …

Bees for Development |
The quantity and quality of the food given to a larva while it is developing will determine its caste. Consequently, a fertilised egg can be made into either a queen or a worker depending on the type of cell it inhabits and the type of food it is fed. The food of the queen is called 'royal jelly'. It is produced from the hypopharyngeal glands in the heads of the worker bees that are nursing the queen larva, and differs from worker brood food in containing more mandibular gland secretions and a higher sugar content (34%) with a different spectrum of sugars.
Royal jelly is a whitish, homogenous substance with a paste-like consistency; its principal components are water, protein, lipids and mineral salts. All the amino acids required for human nutrition are present along with a number of enzymes, vitamins and numerous minor compounds.
The idea that, while the worker bees live for only a few weeks, the queen lives for several years, is likely to have generated the myth that royal jelly has similar effects on people. The fact that workers are sterile while the queen is fertile may similarly have contributed to people's belief in its aphrodisiac qualities. There is little scientific data either supporting or disproving claims made for royal jelly but commercial sales interest will quickly exploit consumer imagination. In its unprocessed state the taste is not particularly pleasant, being often quite bitter or sour. However, this may even enhance its medicinal reputation.
Royal jelly is always fed directly to queen larvae and is never stored, so it has never become a traditional beekeeping product. Commercial royal jelly production relates to the food intended for queen bee larvae that are 4-5 days old. Only about 250 mgs of royal jelly will be present in a single queen cell so harvesting significant quantities for human consumption requires large scale queen rearing which can really only be done using frame hives. It is easiest to sell royal jelly in its fresh state. However, it does not keep well in this form so for non-local sales it needs to be frozen or freeze-dried to allow long term storage and processing into consumer products. For the majority of commercial usage and sales, royal jelly needs to be in the freeze-dried form which requires significant investment in equipment. China accounts for the bulk of world production, estimated at 450 tonnes, while the health food and cosmetics markets in Japan, USA and Europe provide the main consumers.
Because of the very specialist skills demanded, the scale of the enterprise required for large scale queen rearing, the precise timing and the need for constant attendance on the queen cells, the difficulties in processing for both storage and sale, together with the levels of financial investment in industrial equipment required for commercial royal jelly production, Bees for Development considers that royal jelly production is not a particularly suitable income-generating activity for alleviating poverty in most development circumstances.

Curiosity's new bright, shiny object is actually Martian
Perhaps the Red Planet isn't quite so red as we thought. NASA's Curiosity rover has been digging up some unusual bits in the soil of Mars. A couple weeks ago, the rover found a strange bright object which later turned out to be a part of the rover itself. Now we have a new mystery object to contend with.
Curiosity took a few scoops of Martian soil from a patch called "Rocknest." That activity uncovered a bright particle in the pit it created. Unlike the earlier object, NASA has confirmed the new piece is of Martian origin. There are others like it scattered around.… Read more

Shhh! Don't tell anyone, but I have a bit of a problem-- I can't go anywhere near flannel without reaching out and stroking it. And our flannel is especially nice to touch! So when Big Sky Lodge arrived I started thinking about which quilt I wanted to make. Snapshots was an easy choice: it uses plaid in the borders, and is blue (two more things I'm partial to). I also loved that it showcases the animal print just beautifully.
Since the animal print is fussy cut (and I can be incredibly fussy) I went to the trouble of cutting a 6 ½ " square out of a file folder to use as a frame so I could pick exactly how I wanted the animals to appear in the block. I know you can just use a 6 ½" square ruler but I find all the lines too distracting. Once lined up I could put my ruler in place, lift away the folder, and cut.
Flannel is always a little challenging because of its tendency to stretch and there are several directional prints to pay attention to, but I found the quilt went together quite nicely. It's always good to try something new and I'd never done a quilt where part of the design extends out into the borders. I was very pleased with how well things lined up.
This quilt has broad appeal. It's a nice size, guys would like it, animal lovers would like it, people who love the color blue would like it, and, most especially, flannel lovers (like me) will LOVE it!

Nov 2, 2012 at 6:21 AM I'd like the pattern for this quilt. It would go nicely in my neice's den. (The den for the adults) -
Laraine Says:
Nov 1, 2012 at 7:46 AM Hi Jmniffer,
I personally never pre-wash unless I'm mixing flannel with regular flat quilting cotton and then I only pre-wash the flannel. It's a personal choice.
Any kit we have that is made with one of our own Connecting Threads designer's patterns (like this one) does have enough fabric included should you choose to pre-wash. When we kit up a pattern from an outside designer we can't guarantee that that would be true.
For working with flannel you just need to be aware that it is stretchier than regular cotton. You need to be more careful when pressing and when handling any bias edges. The seam allowance is still just 1/4". --To reduce bulk, on this particular pattern, you may want to press more seams open than you would normally. I pinned a lot to make sure my points would work but I do that on any quilt. And, as with any quilt, accurate cutting and 1/4" seams are important for ensuring everything will match up. That said I'm not perfect but it still went together nicely--I only had to 'un-sew' a few times :)
Hope this helps and that you enjoy the process as well as the end result! -
Abbyline Says:
Oct 31, 2012 at 11:41 PM jmniffer....I always prewash - especially flannel and bright colors. I too like this pattern and plan to order the kit. Good luck! -
jmniffer Says:
Oct 31, 2012 at 4:48 PM I've recently purchased this kit. It will be my first top made with flannel. Did you prewash? Increase your seam allowance? I've been researching online and there are so many opinions that I'm getting worried about this. Any tips would be appreciated. -
Stephanie Says:
Oct 31, 2012 at 9:20 AM I have the same problem with flannel. LOVE it. BUY it. Have BINS of it. They also make amazing pillowcases. This line so so warm and cozy.

It is with great sadness that the Department of Philosophy mourns the loss of Professor William B. Griffith.
Please click here for a statement about his time spent at GW.
Greetings from the Department of Philosophy at The George Washington University! We are a pluralist department with ten full-time faculty and ten part-time faculty offering courses in the history of philosophy, ethics, social, political, and legal philosophy, logic, philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, analytic, American, continental philosophy, and philosophy of race and gender.
Our philosophy majors in both tracks have enjoyed a wide range of post-graduate careers both in and outside the academy and find that the analytical skills they develop as philosophy majors help them to be successful in many different professions including law, medicine, teaching, business, and public policy. We offer two different majors in our department:
Our department is distinctive in offering an MA in Philosophy and Social Policy, an interdisciplinary graduate program that takes full advantage of our downtown Washington, D.C., location. In addition to their philosophy and policy graduate courses, our MA students choose among a wide variety of offerings in the Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration and interact closely with graduate students from all over the University. Many of our MA students obtain policy internships in Washington while they are enrolled in the program, creating an exciting synergy between their coursework and their employment experience. These internships have frequently led to full-time positions in prominent policy organizations upon graduation.
The GW Department of Philosophy prides itself on offering our philosophy majors and minors the personal attention usually associated with smaller, liberal arts colleges. We are a research-active, congenial group of full and part-time faculty and enjoy sharing our work and exchanging ideas in department brown bag presentations. We also have an annual endowed lecture series that regularly attracts some of the top philosophers in our profession to GW to speak to our students and faculty.
We hope you enjoy browsing our website and invite you to attend one of our departmental events if you are in the area!

The Screen Actors Guild Awards is the only awards show created by and for actors. A randomly selected group of SAG members votes on each year's standout individual and ensemble performances with the final ballot being voted on by all 100,000 guild members, then convenes for one of TV's most genuine ceremonies. Actors from both television and film are honored, but no awards are handed out to the actual movies or shows. The Screen Actor's Guild award is considered to be an indicator of success at the Academy Awards. The bronze statuette which is known as the "Actor" depicts a naked man holding the masks of comedy and tragedy, it was originally sculpted by Edward Saenz and was designed by Jim Heimann and Jim Barrett.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A Charleston man was arrested early today and charged with carrying a concealed weapon.
Charleston Police Sgt. Eric Hodges said officers were conducting a foot patrol in the Hunt Avenue area of the city's West Side at about 3:45 a.m. when they spotted a suspicious subject in an alley. Hodges said Monyea R. Gravely, 20, began walking toward officers.
Hodges said Gravely's speech was slurred, and officers saw what looked like the butt of a gun above his right pants pocket.
Officers searched Gravely and found a .40 caliber Smith & Wesson handgun, Hodges said. The weapon had been reported stolen on July 30.
Hodges said Gravely was charged with carrying a concealed weapon, obstructing an officer and transferring and receiving stolen property. He was awaiting arraignment this morning in Kanawha Magistrate Court.
Hodges said Gravely is a convicted felon and prevented from carrying a gun. His case has been forwarded to the U.S. Attorney's office for possible federal prosecution.

Comments about Touch by Alyssa Milano 105 Black Tortoise:
This is the first time that I buy glasses from internet, I was a little concerned thinking the product may not be as the pictures, but im very happy overall. The glasses fits perfectly and I like the butterfly detail, love the cateye shape and I like the tortoise detail, the only thing I would change is the metal sides it would be nice if they were a little more thick but despite that detail I like this glasses a lot.

Michael Jones McKean: Career Talk
Michael Jones McKean, a 2010 Guggenheim Fellow and Alfred alumnus exhibiting internationally, will be in residence at the School of Art and Design for 12 days to construct an ambitious new installation for the Fosdick-Nelson Gallery.
The main component of McKean's project, a linked series of boxy vitrines, small rooms and niches saturated in color, will house a series of sculptural vignettes that unfold their contents for the viewer as they amble through the gallery.
"The Religion," McKean's evocative title for the exhibition, examines our relationship to objects, materiality and time to create what McKean describes as "densely elliptical, narrative spaces."
McKean has exhibited to critical acclaim in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Berlin, Tel Aviv, and Paris. He is the recipient of numerous grants and awards; The Guggenheim Fellowship in 2010, A Nancy Graves Foundation Award, an Artadia award, a VMFA Fellowship, and a number of State Arts Commission grants.
McKean has been artist-in-residence at The Core Program at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, The International Studio and Curatorial Program in New York City, The Provincetown Fine Arts Work Center, The Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Central Michigan University as the Stephen L. Barstow Fellow, The Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, MT, and Three Walls in Chicago, IL.
Michael Jones McKean is represented by Horton Gallery in New York City. He is associate professor of sculpture and extended media at Virginia Commonwealth University where he has taught since 2006.
He will give a Career Talk on Oct. 29 at 5 p.m. in Binns Merrill Hall, room 106. The exhibition opens on Friday, Nov. 1 with an artist's reception from 7-9 p.m. and closes Monday, Dec. 2, 2013.
The gallery is open 11 a.m.-4 p.m. week days, 1-3 p.m. on weekends and is closed during University holidays.
Michael's exhibition and residency is made possible with generous contributions by: The School of Art and Design; The Miller Endowment for Excellence in the Arts; The Division of Ceramic Art; The McComsey Career Development Center; The Division of Sculpture and Dimensional Studies, and the Division of Freshman Foundations.

More associations meet downtown than anywhere else, but the ongoing hotel seller's market calls for planners to tap some creative tactics when booking downtown.
Recently Brian Rounsavill was presented with a tough, take-it-or-leave-it attrition clause by a downtown hotel in a major East Coast city. No amount of discussion was going to change the hotelier's stance. At first, Rounsavill was perplexed, then chagrined. Eventually he walked away from the negotiations.
"In any transaction, there's inherent risk on the part of both parties," says Rounsavill, director of meetings, exhibits, and online services for the 8,000-member Electrochemical Society, Pennington, N.J. "But it seems that now many hotels, particularly in the downtown market, have put all the risk on buyers."
Rounsavill isn't the only planner feeling embattled these days. Industry meetings are filled with planners lamenting skyrocketing room rates, impossible attrition clauses, and not enough room blocks to be found in many cities - if they can even get a foot in the door in these markets to begin with, that is.
Year-end figures for 2000 were not available at press time, but the December report from the New York City-based hotel consulting firm Pannell, Kerr, Forster indicated that, based on the first three quarters of 2000, hotels in the 46 cities it surveys appeared to be enjoying their greatest gain in occupancy since 1995 and the greatest growth in average daily room rate since 1998. New York City topped the charts in 2000 with an occupancy of 84.9 percent and an average daily room rate of a whopping $250. Significantly, of the major U.S. lodging markets, convention hotels have seen the greatest gain in average daily room rate, just ahead of full-service hotels in 2000. (See related charts on page 36.) Meanwhile, PKF projects the average daily room rate for 2001 to rise to $125.
What's Ahead "I expect hotel prices in first-tier cities will continue going up because, first of all, many are islands unto themselves," concludes Rollie Shellenberger of Runzheimer International, a travel management consulting firm in Rochester, Wis. There's not enough real estate available for more convention hotels in many downtown areas, he says.
Compounding matters for budget-conscious planners, business travel costs - including airfare, lodging, meals, and car rental - are projected to increase a record 7 percent this year, according to the Runzheimer Reports on Travel Management. But Shellenberger notes that the double whammy of increased costs and an economic contraction could well mean a decline in association meeting attendance later this year. Indeed, Jody Zeman, director of meetings and conventions for Denver-based Association of periOperative Registered Nurses, says some of her 41,000 members are already planning to skip meetings because of unaffordable room prices.
An economic downturn may curtail attendance, but it could actually help planners in negotiations with hoteliers. Robert Mandelbaum, director of research for Atlanta-based Hospitality Research Group of PKF Consulting, believes a pinched economy means hoteliers will be less aggressive in enforcing various clauses.
"Hotel managers generally tend to overreact to economic conditions anyway," he maintains. "That may especially be the case with the less-experienced hoteliers who haven't worked in anything but an up market."
Clearly, planners have their work cut out in finding hotel space at a reasonable cost in many downtown areas. Following are some of the strategies planners are deploying to cope with the rising occupancies and room rates.
3 Seek the Off-Peak Ask a high-demand major-city convention hotel about room availability during its shoulder season. Rounsavill says he's been able to reap considerable savings for his Electrochemical Society members by booking a Washington, D.C., convention in March instead of May. Ditto for booking a San Francisco meeting over Labor Day instead of October.
"Nobody wants to book a meeting over Labor Day, but we've been able to sell that to our members because many are from different countries, and they don't celebrate that day," Rounsavill explains. "Plus, some of our U.S. members don't mind combining the meeting with an end-of-summer vacation."
3 Consider Other Markets When the allure of first-tier cities is offset by stratospheric room rates, consider suburbs near the first-tier cities. Shellenberger says planners may get significantly better deals by, for example, booking hotels in Rosemont, a Chicago suburb, or in Fairfax and Alexandria, Va., both suburbs of Washington, D.C.
Moreover, some second-tier cities have never been more attractive. In Memphis, a glut of limited-service hotels has helped reduce occupancy from 67 percent in 1999 to an estimated 64 percent in 2000. The good news is that several full-service hotels are boosting their inventory in conjunction with the $95 million Cook Convention Center expansion, which is scheduled to open February 2002.
Portland, Ore., has seen its occupancy decline from 70 percent in 1999 to an estimated 66.7 percent last year, due in large part to the opening of several full-service hotels in anticipation of a 250,000-square-foot expansion of the city's convention center, says Deborah Wakefield, director of communications for the city's CVB.
Other attractive markets include Minneapolis, Charlotte (N.C.), Phoe-nix, and Denver, all of which had estimated occupancies under 70 percent in 2000. Canadian cities such as Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver are also appealing, given a favorable exchange rate for Americans as well as big-city attractions and a hotel market with a bit more flex in it than that in many American metro areas.
"Toronto has plenty of entertainment, it's virtually crime-free, and it is much more attractively priced than Buffalo [New York]," according to Runzheimer's Shellenberger.
3 Apply Pressure Initially, Amy Phillips, director of meetings for the 35,000-member, Alexandria, Va.-based American Academy of Physician Assistants, talks with the local hotel manager to discuss room availability and possible rate adjustments.
If that's not getting anywhere, she takes up the issue with the hotel chain's national sales representative. If she strikes out there, she doesn't hesitate to phone the city's CVB. "We're not shy about asking the bureau to put some pressure on a hotel, since our annual meeting is bringing 9,000 people to a city."
3 Be Creative While many first-tier hotels are taking a harder line on attrition and cancellation fee enforcement, they still need to work with groups. So, say an attrition fee kicks in at a meeting held at a national chain in a first-tier city. Ask about applying attrition dollars to a future meeting you are holding with the chain. Or, ask about having the food and beverage cancellation fee waived if attrition dollars reach a certain amount.
3 Leverage Your History Loyalty still counts, even during these fiercely competitive times. Stress your group's history of using a hotel through the years - a factor that may help you cut a deal, particularly during an economic slowdown.
Present as much documented information as possible on your use patterns, including overflow hotels. It will reinforce your credibility and perhaps persuade a fence-sitting hotelier.
3 Do Your Homework The more you know about the downtown market, the better off you are in negotiations. So consider doing things like checking a targeted city's calendar of events to see if there's a citywide convention occurring on the dates you're interested in. If so, you may have difficulty securing rooms and you will probably lose negotiating leverage with a hotel booking lots of convention traffic.
Before checking in with a downtown hotel, consult with the city CVB about the facility's occupancy and room use patterns. Confer with planners who have booked the city.
3 Take a Walk Major city hotels aren't the only ones who can play hardball. Go into negotiations with an open mind, but be prepared to walk away and explore other lodging alternatives. "I've walked away more than a few times, but even more so in the last few years," remarks Phillips. "If I think there's a possibility there's going to be an attrition penalty, I'll consider walking away because that's not in the best interest of my association."
3 Team Up If you really like a certain first-tier venue but don't have the clout to command a larger room block or reduced rates, consider pairing with another association. As for finding a complementary association, Rounsavill suggests first contacting a city CVB for assistance. "I can conceive of going with another group and presenting the combined business to a hotel," he says. "I could see where that might result in a price break on rooms."
3 Seek Multi-Year Deals Consider signing a contract with a hotel for several years in a row. Some groups are able to get more attractive deals by inking a pact with a hotel chain enabling members to meet in the same city for several consecutive or alternating years.
3 Negotiate at Quarter's End Wily planners have discovered that sometimes major-city hoteliers are more apt to be flexible on room rates near the end of a company's fiscal quarter. Reason: They want to book business so they meet a quarterly - or an annual - revenue target.
3 Take It Out on the Exhibitors If you're booking rooms for association members and exhibitors staying in the same hotel, consider separating them in discussions with hoteliers over attrition.
Jody Zeman of the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses points out that exhibitor attendees aren't nearly as likely to follow through on pledges to attend meetings, yet those no-shows have counted against her group's attrition. So exhibitors requesting 10 or more hotel rooms now contract directly with the hotel. That way, if they don't show, the hotelier can apply its attrition penalty to the exhibitor and not Zeman's association.
"I encountered no problems when I first presented this idea to a hotel manager in New Orleans," Zeman says. "A hotelier in Dallas last year said it was too much work, but he eventually agreed to it."
3 Pursue Innovative Cost-Cutting It appears more planners are negotiating for attrition not on lost revenues but lost profits. The savings possibilities are obvious: Instead of giving up, say, $140 per room, planners would be out a much smaller percentage of that amount. Make sure to check the contract carefully for hidden charges, as well as for savings opportunities.
"I told one hotelier that since our databases could talk to each other, the hotel wouldn't have to pay its reservation people to do data entry again," Phillips says. "That's a point of negotiation, possibly knocking a couple of dollars off the room rate, because it'll save money and eliminate mistakes."
3 Be Honest It might be tempting to exaggerate your business, but don't do it. "If you don't perform up to expectations, that hotel won't want you back, and you'll have a harder time getting in other hotels, because you won't have a good history," Rounsavill says. "It's the attendees who will eventually lose because they'll end up paying higher rates or going to cities they don't want to."

Furthermore I would like to comment that as one of the "Home Kids" most of us felt that Hardin County welcomed us with open arms and made us feel that we were in a community that truly cared for us.

PATOKA – Senior Johnnie Clift sprinted into the paint and after the ball bounced on the rim a time or two, he came out with his 1,000th career point.
The Patoka captain made the layup with 3:54 left in the first half to reach the century mark, and helped the Warriors to a 67-42 win against South Central on Wednesday night.
Clift finished the game with 12 points, and freshman Jered Cain had a game-high 21. Evan Langley had a team-high 11 for South Central (0-3).
The Vandalia wrestling team split with Shelbyville and Taylorville at a tri-meet in Taylorville on Wednesday.
Vandalia was a 35-27 winner against Taylorville, but lost to Shelbyville, 32-31. All three teams are expected to contend for a spot in the state tournament.
The Vandals (1-2) got two wins from Chaston Womack, Ryne Lipsey, Dalton Blankenship, Seth Purcell and Bobby Bradley.
Vandalia hosts Hillsboro on Thursday at 6 p.m. for the home-opener.
Nine of Vandalia's 13 wrestlers placed in the top three – including one individual champion – as the Vandals edged East St. Louis by the slimmest of margins to win last Saturday's 35th annual Civic Memorial Holiday Tournament.
Junior Jake Stewart remained undefeated on the season, taking the championship at 182 pounds, and the Vandals got a tournament-winning pin from sophomore Kendrick Woolsey in the third-place match at 285 pounds to beat East St. Louis, 239-238.5, giving the Vandalia its first title there since 2008.
VANDALIA – Karlie Bright started her season in a sophomore slump.
But she broke out of it in a big way last Saturday.
Bright scored a career-high 17 points during a 63-38 loss to undefeated Southwestern in the South Central Conference opener, more than doubling her season scoring average and easily besting her pervious career-high of eight.
"She works her butt off probably better than anybody on our team," said coach Michelle McNary. "She just wasn't hitting her shots.
The DuQuoin Tip-Off Classic's schedule was adjusted after last Friday's game were canceled due to snow.
That left Vandalia with back-to-back games on Saturday afternoon, but that didn't seem to hinder the Vandals in the second game.
After losing to Flora following a wild second half, the Vandals controlled a game against DuQuoin, keeping the Indians from scoring the entire fourth quarter of a 47-30 victory.
The seeds and schedule were recently released for the 42nd annual Vandalia Holiday Tournament, which will be played Dec. 26-30.
Vandalia has earned the No. 6 seed, while other area teams include eighth-seeded St. Elmo/Brownstown and No. 10 seed South Central.
Top seeds went to Flora (1), Altamont (2), St. Anthony (3) and defending champion Pana (4).
Other teams in the event are: Maroa-Forsyth (5), Greenville (7) and Shelbyville (9).
ST. ELMO – After watching the program's all-time rebounding leader close his career last season, that area became an immediate concern for St. Elmo/Brownstown.
On Tuesday at least, the issue was under control.
The Eagles grabbed 42 rebounds against dual-conference rival Cowden-Herrick, allowing the Hornets just three offensive boards in the first three quarters of a 67-45 victory.
The 54th annual St. Elmo Holiday Tournament will begin next Tuesday and continue each night through Saturday.
Play opens at 6 p.m. on Tuesday with top-seeded Altamont taking on No. 8 Cowden-Herrick, and that game is followed by No. 4 Okaw Valley against No. 5 South Central.
Next Wednesday, second-seeded St. Elmo/Brownstown will battle No. 7 Mulberry Grove at 6 p.m. and No. 3 Beecher City plays No. 6 Ramsey at about 7:45 p.m.
Six members of the Vandalia Jr. Wrestling Club placed first in Sunday's season-opening tournament in Bethalto. In the 6 and under division, Max Philpot and Parker Ray earned individual championships; in the 7-8 division, Owen Miller and Jacob Sperandio placed first; in the 9-10 division, Gavin Mouser was a winner; and in the 11-12 division, Tanner Swain took first-place honors.
The Jr. Vandals will be at home this weekend for the annual Vandalia Tournament.
The event will be held on Sunday, starting at 9 a.m.
A women's alumni basketball game was held following last Saturday's varsity girls game.

HowTo Compile rTorrent From SVN In Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron
HowTo Compile rTorrent From SVN In Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron
Author: Stephan Jau IntroductionTorrent is a great way to transfer large files very quickly. However most torrent clients are gui based and have quite some impact on system resources (e.g. Azureus). rTorrent is a lightweight client running from the terminal. Being able to run it in a screen session (also upon boot) makes it ideal to also control it from a remote location. How to use, support & helpThe rTorrent homepage can be found here. AssumptionsIn this tutorial I will use the defaults user home location and will download all the SVN files there. Specifically I'll use ~/rtorrent for the SVN files. Further you are supposed not to be logged in as root but as a normal user. 1. Get required packagessudo apt-get install subversion build-essential libtool automake1.9 openssl libcurl3 libcurl3-dev libsigc++-2.0-0c2a libsigc++-2.0-dev libncurses5 libncurses5-dev Note: Automake must be a newer version than 1.4. So other automake versions work also. I just used 1.9 here because I need it for something else also. 2. Create the rtorrent download foldermkdir ~/rtorrent 3. Go to the rtorrent download foldercd ~/rtorrent Current location: /home/USER/rtorrent 4. Then get the latest trunk versionsvn co svn://rakshasa.no/libtorrent/trunk 5. Enter the trunk foldercd trunk Current location: /home/USER/rtorrent/trunk 6. Update rTorrent to the latest SVN versionsvn up 7. Go to the libtorrent foldercd libtorrent Current location: /home/USER/rtorrent/trunk/libtorrent 8. Run the autogen script./autogen.sh 9. Configure it./configure 10. Compile libtorrentmake 11. Install libtorrent on the systemsudo make install 12. Alter /etc/ld.so.confecho "include /usr/local/lib" | sudo tee -a /etc/ld.so.conf 13. Rebuild the ld.so cache
sudo ldconfig 14. Go to the rTorrent foldercd ../rtorrent Current location: /home/USER/rtorrent/trunk/rtorrent 15. Run the autogen script./autogen.sh 16. Configure it./configure 17. Compile rTorrentmake 18. Install rTorrent on the systemsudo make install 19. Run rTorrentrtorrent That's it and enjoy!
