Dolly, the fourth named storm of the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season, is expected to make landfall in Mexico.
A dairy farmer from Alabama has been selected as a national spokesperson for the U.S. Farmers & Ranchers Alliance (USFRA). Will Gilmer of Lamar County was one of four farmers selected in USFRA's Faces of Farming and Ranching program, a nationwide search launched by USFRA in June 2012 as a way to identify farmers and ranchers who are proud of what they do and are eager to share their stories.Gilmer and three other program winners were selected from a pool of more than 100 farmer and rancher applicants from across the country. As one of the Faces of Farming & Ranching, Gilmer will share his stories and experiences on a national stage to help answer consumers' questions about how food is grown and raised to feed our nation."By adapting advanced management practices, we are able to raise healthy, comfortable cows that produce quality milk and dairy beef," said Will Gilmer. "I want to help consumers see that farmers and ranchers have a genuine passion for what they do and take pride in the quality of the food they produce, hoping that it makes a positive contribution to society."Gilmer and his father own and operate a dairy farm, which has been in continuous operation since Will's grandfather established it in the early 1950s. They currently milk 200 Holstein cows and raise their own replacement heifers, while managing 600 acres of land used for pasture and forage production. Those forages include hay, summer silage crops, and small grains/ryegrass for both silage and strip grazing.Gilmer serves as chairman of the Alabama Dairy Committee, a division of the Alabama Farmers Federation. He is a social media sensation in the farming community with YouTube videos like "Have a Dairy, Merry Christmas" and "MooTube Minutes." Gilmer Dairy Farm can be found on YouTube at YouTube.com/GilmeryDairy; on Twitter @gilmerdairy; and on Facebook at Facebook.com/GDFmilk. Gilmer also blogs at GilmerDairy.blogspot.com.As a Faces of Farming & Ranching winner, Gilmer will receive a $10,000 stipend to help offset the time he will spend away from the farm in the coming year serving as a USFRA spokesperson. He will also have the opportunity to direct a $5,000 donation to an agriculture-related charity."So much of today's conversation on food in media and popular culture is missing the perspective of the people who actually grow and raise our food," said Bob Stallman, chairman of USFRA and president of the American Farm Bureau Federation. "This lack of representation has led to a lot of misconceptions and questions about how food gets from the farm or ranch to our tables. Farmers like Will were named winners of this program because they are eager to share their stories about the innovative ways they continue to improve food production each day. They have the first-hand experience to address complicated issues surrounding food production by giving honest answers about what happens on today's farms and ranches."From Nov. 15 - Dec. 15, 2012, thousands visited FoodDialogues.com to learn more about the candidates and to vote for whom they believed best represented American agriculture. In addition to the public vote, a panel of judges from throughout the food and agriculture community interviewed and evaluated the finalists to help determine the winners of Faces of Farming & Ranching. The other three winners are Bo Stone, a row-crop farmer from Rowland, N.C.; Chris Chinn, a hog and cattle farmer from Clarence, Mo.; and Katie Pratt, a row-crop farmer from Dixon, Ill.

What is the purpose of Judicial and Mediation Services?
At Clarion University, the campus disciplinary procedures are designed to emphasize education, individual growth and development, self-discipline and respect for the rights of others. The discipline system works to redirect individual behaviors into acceptable patterns and to protect the rights of the students within the learning community.
Participation in the community of scholars represents, for many, an abundance of freedom with little structure. The purpose of disciplinary intervention is to identify and hold students accountable for the responsibilities of the academic community. Students must balance their individual freedoms with the rights of others and conduct themselves according to the expectations of the institution.
Where can I find the Student Code of Conduct?
The Student Code of Conduct can be found in the Student Rights, Regulations, and Procedures Online Handbook. A paper copy can be obtained in the Office of Judicial & Mediation Services or students can go online to view or print their own copy at www.clarion.edu/studentrights.pdf.
The Student Code outlines the standards, expectations and policies regarding student behavior. It also lists the rights and procedures related to the judicial process. It includes an explanation of the judicial process, options for hearings, hearing procedures, disciplinary sanctions, and appeals.
To whom does the Student Code of Conduct apply?
The Code of Conduct applies to all students enrolled in the university regardless of institutional or program affiliation.
What are my rights if I am charged with a violation of the Student Code of Conduct?
The university's rules of procedure for formal hearings shall provide students with the following procedure guarantees:
- Reasonably specific advanced written notice of charges,
- Reasonably advanced written notice of the date, time and place of the hearing, and
- Reasonably sufficient interval between the date of service of charges and the date of the hearing, an opportunity for submission of written, physical and testimonial evidence, and for reasonable questioning of witnesses by both parties.
- An impartial hearing may consist of a committee, board, panel, or individual; maintenance of a written summary or audio file; a decision based upon the preponderance of the evidence and a decision rendered within 30 working days after the close of the proceedings. A student may identify an advisor, who may be an attorney, to be present at hearings at the expense of the student. The advisor may only consult and interact privately with the student. In cases of an alleged sexual assault, the complainant and accused student(s) are entitled to have an advisor present at the hearing. Please see the Student Rights Regulations and Procedures Online Handbook for more information regarding Title IX compliance or for further explanation of student rights.
For additional information relative to conduct regulations and disciplinary proceedings, consult your Student Rights, Regulations, and Procedures Online Handbook. It can be accessed from www.clarion.edu/studentrights.pdf
What is due process?
Due process ensures fairness in disciplinary procedures. It includes: written notice of hearings, notice of the alleged charges and information regarding the alleged behavior against a student, the opportunity for students to present information on their own behalf and written notice of decisions. Decisions are based on a preponderance of the evidence (information) presented.
What factors are considered when determining charges for alleged behavior?
Clarion, like other institutions of higher learning, use the phrase, "What would a reasonable person believe?" when examining to see if charges are founded or not. Prior conduct record is not used to determine if charges are founded, however, it is used during sanctioning and academic success is also examined as well in some cases administratively and in all University Conduct Board hearings.
The factors that are considered in each case include, but are not limited to, the following: (no particular order)
- Police reports, if any
- Witness statements, if any
- The nature of the incident
- The intent of the student(s) involved
- The effect on the University community
- Prior conduct records of involved student(s) for sanctioning
- The role of the accused student(s) in the incident
- The cooperation and honesty of the involved student(s)
- The development and education of the student(s) involved
Is a hearing the same thing as going to court?
No. The university judicial process only hears cases involving alleged violations of the Student Code of Conduct. Judicial & Mediation Services procedures do not parallel criminal procedures.
If an incident is being handled in the courts, may the university also take disciplinary action?
Yes. Judicial & Mediation Services adjudicates cases independently of the criminal process. Thus, a student cited or arrested for an offense may go both to court and through the university judicial process. That is dual jurisdiction, not a form of double jeopardy.
Does a student who has been charged with a violation need an attorney?
No. A student who has a formal hearing may choose to have an advisor present. The advisor may not represent the student, only advise them. The advisor may not address the hearing officer or panel. The student must speak for himself/herself. An advisor can be anyone the student chooses to bring to the hearing.
What is the role of an advisor?
Students may choose to have an advisor of their choice for University Conduct Board meetings. Advisors are there to whisper advice, write notes, and meet outside the room with the student as needed. An advisor may not interact with the Board, Board Chair, witnesses, Coordinator of Judicial Affairs & Residence Life Education, or any other party in the room. Any notes taken during the meeting by an advisor or student must stay at the meeting and will be shredded.
Can the Office of Judicial & Mediation Services provide legal advice?
No, we are not able to provide any legal advice to students regarding court cases. You may, however, wish to contact the Public Defender's Office of Clarion County at (814)-226-7380.
Can parents/guardians participate in the University conduct process?
Parents and/or guardians may participate in the student conduct process by being supportive while holding the student accountable to the University's expectations. You can also help identify and provide necessary interventions, such as alcohol or drug evaluations, anger management, and others, so that the student can recover from their current challenge and be successful in the future. Allow, encourage, and expect the student to set appointments, attend meetings, and fulfill sanctions. It is usually not helpful to the educational development of the student, or resolution of the matter, for you to take over the process for the student.
If an incident occurs off-campus, can charges be brought under the Student Code of Conduct?
Yes, jurisdiction under the code applies to the conduct of any student or student organization regardless of location of the alleged incident. The university reserves the right to impose discipline based on any student conduct, regardless of location, that may adversely affect the university community.
Will the Conduct Board be aware of a student's previous history?
The Conduct Board is not made aware of a student's disciplinary history during the hearing unless it is relevant to the specific allegations. The board will be informed of the student's prior judicial record if a student has been found responsible for violations of the Student Code of Conduct, and may use this information in the development of sanctions.
How does a student appeal a disciplinary decision?
Students will be given information for an appeal on the decision letter from the University Conduct Board (UCB) or through and Administrative Hearing. UCB appeals will be heard by the President or by a person appointed as the appeal chair. No second hearing will be granted and this appeal is final. Administrative appeals are sent to the Office of Judicial & Mediation Services for review. Appeals of cases heard by the Coordinator of Judicial Affairs & Residence Life Education will be heard by a person appointed by the Office of Judicial & Mediation Services. This person is generally a seasoned Faculty or Staff member.
Are parents/guardians notified in the event their student is involved in an incident?
In efforts to help reduce the increasingly dangerous alcohol consumption incidents, parents of students who are under the age of 21 may be notified when a student is found to be responsible for a University violation involving alcohol or other drugs. Yet, Clarion University of Pennsylvania encourages students to speak with their parents on their own.
FERPA allows for Universities to contact the parents of students who are under 21 and found responsible for violating alcohol and/or drug policies. Therefore, parents may be contacted if the aforementioned criterion is met. Additionally, parents may be contacted, without consent of the student, if their student's health, safety, and/or welfare are in clear and present danger.
What is FERPA?
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.
FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights have transferred are "eligible students."
Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information from a student's education record. However, schools may disclose, without consent, "directory" information such as a student's name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance.
Are student's interactions with the university discipline system kept confidential?
Yes. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act make a student's disciplinary record part of the educational record. The university will not release or permit access to educational records and personally identifiable information kept on a student except as otherwise permitted by law and this rule. The record may be accessed by the student, the parent of a minor student with the student's authorization or in response to a court order. The educational record may also be shared with other members of the academic community with a legitimate need to know. In some instances, a student or a graduate may sign a release for access to this record for employment or educational reasons such as for employment in a Federal facility requiring certain security clearances.
Do student disciplinary records appear on the academic transcript?
In most cases sanctions are not noted on academic transcripts, however, information is kept in the Office of Judicial & Mediation Services for a period of five years from the date of the last action taken. Cases involving expulsion may be held longer.
Suspensions and Expulsions are noted on the Academic Transcript at Clarion University. Suspensions will show an end date if a student successfully petitions to return following a suspension period.
How will having a disciplinary history affect a graduate's employment opportunities or choice of graduate schools?
Disciplinary records are part of the educational record and are not released without the student's authorization or as the law permits. Many graduate schools (law schools, medical schools, dental schools) and employers (FBI, Secret Service, CIA, State Department, etc.) will request a background check of a student's disciplinary record. The background checks are specific to the time of enrollment at Clarion University and provided at no financial cost. Background checks are provided to all students regardless of status (currently enrolled, virtual, alumni, etc.).
Please manage your future responsibly while attending Clarion University of Pennsylvania. Choices you make may impact your status as a student as well as future life plans.
What does it mean when a hold is placed on a student account from Judicial & Mediation Services?
Generally, holds are placed on student accounts if they fail to attend hearings, meetings, complete sanctions, or if a hearing would be pending should they return to the University after leaving by choice or if they are placed on a suspension or expulsion. Please call the office to find out specifically what you should do to have the hold lifted.
What is the difference between probation, suspension, and expulsion?
- Probation is a written reprimand for a violation of specific [University] regulations. Probation is for a designated period of time and includes the probability of more severe sanctions if the student is found to be in violation of any institutional regulation(s) during the probationary period.
- Suspension occurs when a student may be suspended for a definite period of time, not less than the remainder of the current semester in which he or she is enrolled. The student who has been suspended may apply for a readmission hearing at a time provided by a University Conduct Board. A hold is placed onthe student account and students may not come back to campus unless they have approval by Judicial & Mediation Services or by University Police. Entrance without approval is thought to be trespassing.
- Expulsion is a permanent separation of the student from the University. A student who is expelled may not be allowed to reenter the University and a hold that notes the expulsion will be listed through Student Information Systems. Students maynot enter campus while under expulsion. Entrance to campus without approval of Judicial & Mediation Services or University Police willbe treated as trespassing.
- As of July 01, 2012; any student issued a suspension or expulsion will have a transcript notation added which will indicate their removal from Clarion University of Pennsylvania for a behavioral reason.
Can I call the Office of Judicial & Mediation Services if someone is harassing me?
Yes please call the Office right away or contact University Police, or Residence Life Services staff so we may talk with you about your options. If the situation is serious or life-threatening, call University Police at (814) 393-2111 or (911). You may also wish to contact The Office of Social Equity at (814) 393-2109.
What are Mediation Services?
Mediation through the Office of Judicial & Mediation Services is an outreach program to students, groups, and student organizations when they are in conflict with others. We value the process and the desire to come to a mutually beneficial conclusion to conflict.
Judicial and Mediation Services also provides the opportunity for students to receive training in mediation.
If you have additional questions, stop by the Office of Judicial and Mediation Services in 204 Egbert Hall, call 814-393-1918, or visit www.clarion.edu/judicial for more information.

ANDERSON, Ind. —
A six-person jury awarded the victim of extreme bullying at Pendleton Heights High School $50,000 in damages Tuesday in Madison Circuit Court 3.
The jury decided in favor of the woman and her family after they brought a tort claim against South Madison Community School Corp. The award followed a three-day civil trial. The former Pendleton Heights High School student claimed that the school and the school district mishandled, or neglected to handle, the fallout from a 2008 incident.
According to court documents, when the woman, who was 15 years old at the time, went to school on March 11, 2008, she found there were pictures posted around the school that had been edited with computer software showing her in a sexually suggestive manner. The fliers also included her real phone number.
The case files indicate school officials determined who the culprit was and immediately suspended him from school, though the victim's family said he was only transferred to another school. He was also charged as a minor for distribution of child pornography and child exploitation and was later placed on juvenile detention.
According to case documents, South Madison denied negligence and contended it acted with reasonable care in the matter.
The woman and her family claimed that South Madison Community School Corp. was negligent in its handling of the matter, that proper counseling wasn't offered to the victim after the incident and that the family struggled to recover.
"I'm glad they found them liable for what happened," the victim said after the Tuesday hearing.
Her mother added that she's glad they fought for "everyone else at Pendleton." The family said they believe bullying is still a problem at the school, and the school district just recently implemented training for teachers on how to handle bullying.

Town Square
City shell game
Original post made by Robert and Mary Carlstead on Jun 11, 2007
Will the Council pass the increases? It recently approved $225,000 for a consultant to determine if Palo Alto should continue using PASCO as a refuse hauler. That company provided good service for years. None on the highly paid staff could do that? Last week it approved $26,200 for a consultant to evaluate top management positions, which previous councils had done.
Those expenditures equal the average utility increases for 750 senior households. According to the June Avenidas newsletter, ages 60-74 represent the biggest active voting bloc in this country. Here the upper age limit is higher. Palo Alto seniors consistently vote, are politically savvy, and involved.
The city wants $50 million for a public safety building and $40 million for libraries. Will these pass? It depends on how angry voters are after getting the utility bills for another year, if rates increase as planned in 2008 and voters analyze their property taxes.
We question the legality of the "shell game" whereby the city uses the utility fund as a profit center for the general fund.
When voters perceive that its city isn't well run, finances aren't well managed and promises aren't kept, their only recourse to fight city hall is the ballot box. The council should tread carefully and not step on this awakening tiger's tail.

Attention Seniors - thanks to Prop 13, you live in million dollar houses and pay $500-1000 in property tax, plus you can opt out of the parcel tax if you want. Stop complaining about your fixed incomes, if you need money get a reverse mortgage or sell your house. [Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.]
(of course if you are a renter, please feel free to complain all you want).

PA Senior - I own a million dollar PA home and pay the taxes that subsidize your lazy prop 13 lifestyle. But at least I am young enough that I will probably live to see the cure for the disease that causes your death.

The ex-Vol assistant who may face NCAA sanctions has taken the head coaching job at a Knoxville-area high school
Do you dream of bathing in an unending wave of college football goodness? Do you ever feel like you just see too much of your girlfriend, the sun or your Jack Russell, Bo? If so, do we have...
The roller coaster continued today in Fayetteville, as an Arkansas team that lost to Texas by 33 beat a Tennessee team that dropped Memphis by 20.
SEC play begins with Tony Jones taking over for Bruce Pearl, as the Vols travel to Fayetteville to face an Arkansas team coming off a 36 point loss.
A quick roundup of the day's news for Tennessee Volunteer fans.
If Bruce Pearl does stay at Tennessee, it appears it'll be without associate head coach Tony Jones. Good for Tony, who's been a vital part of the resurrection of Tennessee Basketball and deserves a shot to be the head man.

"Pain is important" is the sixth book by azt and collects more than 300 self-portraits from 2006 to 2010.
From the preface by Peter Weiermair:
"Formally, AZT breaks new ground with this book as he now, not merely directs the dialog of images and the precisely calculated sequence, but also, superimposes and thus boosts its inherent obsessive character. His oeuvre's sole protagonist, subject as well as object, is AZT himself. With this book, he closes the most difficult stage in a painful process of searching for an identity that has lasted several years. (...) This staged otherness is part of the overall stance of an artist who has created some of the most exciting, most irritating images in the field of the contemporary portrayal of the male nude."
The book includes explicit nude contents suggested for an adult (18+) audience.

These students may have participated in sports camps or summer camps, but this was a different "camping'' experience.
It was a Mobile Application Boot Camp where they learned the fine points of working with computers.
Haverhill High School juniors and seniors in teacher Elaine Mistretta's Computer Science Course visited Northern Essex Community College's Haverhill campus for the camp.
The 14 students learned how to design and build mobile applications for Android devices using MIT AppInventor, a programming tool developed by MIT.
The boot camp was taught by NECC Computer Science Professors Russ Gouveia and Michael Penta, who volunteered their time, with assistance from NECC computer science student Adrienne Ramage of Groveland.
MIT AppInventor is tool that "democratizes programming," Penta said. "It allows anyone familiar with computer programming to create software applications."
Using the tool, students in the class were able to create Magic 8-balls and a kitten that tweets a meow.
Northern Essex offers Computer & Information Sciences associate degrees in three areas — applications, computer science transfer, or information technology — as well as a liberal arts associate degree with a computer & information sciences focus.
Certificates are offered in computer applications, computer forensics, computer networking, help desk, information technology fluency, and web design.
For more information, contact enrollment services at email@example.com or 978 556-3700 or visit necc.mass.edu.
With campuses in Haverhill and Lawrence and extension sites in Methuen and Groveland, Northern Essex Community College is a state-assisted college, offering more than 70 associate degree and certificate programs, as well as hundreds of noncredit courses designed for personal enrichment and career growth.
More than 7,400 students are enrolled in credit associate degree and certificate programs on the Haverhill and Lawrence campuses. Another 6,700 take noncredit workforce development and community education classes on campus, and at businesses and community sites across the Merrimack Valley. Northern Essex is the only state college in the lower Merrimack Valley.

Common Questions
Q. What is Gout?
A. Gout is a type of inflammatory arthritis that affects an estimated 6 million Americans. It occurs when an excess of uric acid in the blood forms needle-like crystals in the joints and/or soft tissue. This can trigger an acute gout attack marked by pain, tenderness, redness, warmth and swelling. For more information on what gout is, click here.
Q. What Causes Gout?
A. Gout is caused when urate crystals accumulate in the soft tissue and joints causing the inflammation and intense pain associated with a gout attack. Urate crystals can form when there are high levels of uric acid in the blood. This is called hyperuricemia. For more information on the causes, click here.
Q. What are the Symptoms of Gout?
A. During a gout attack, symptoms may include swelling, pain, tenderness, redness and heat in the affected joint or area. In the early stages, there may be no symptoms between attacks. If the disease progresses to an advanced stage, there may be chronic pain between gout attacks. For more information on the effects of gout, click here.
Q. How Do I Know if I Have Gout?
A. Only your doctor can accurately diagnose gout. If you are worried that symptoms you're having could be gout, it is important to make an appointment with your doctor to be examined.
Q. How is Gout Managed?
A. To manage gout and lower your risk for future attacks and related complications, experts recommend lowering levels of uric acid in the blood to less than 6.0 mg/dL through a combination of strategies tailored to the individual, which might include medication and lifestyle strategies, such as diet changes and weight loss. It's important to visit your doctor to determine the best management plan for you. For more information on management options, click here.
Q. Who is Likely to Get Gout?
A. Anyone who has high levels of uric acid in their blood may develop gout. But there are certain things that can put you at increased risk:
- Being overweight
- Excessive alcohol intake
- Drinking lots of sweetened beverages, especially soda
- Being dehydrated
- Eating lots of certain purine-rich foods
- Having a family history of gout
- Certain medical conditions like high blood pressure
- Low kidney function
- Use of medications like diuretics (sometimes called "water pills"), cyclosporine and low-dose aspirin
Q. What Should I Know About Gout Attacks?
A. The most common symptom of a gout attack is waking up in the middle of the night with sharp pain in the big toe or another joint. It's best to prepare ahead of time for a potential gout attack. Talk to your doctor about medication that can be kept on hand for immediate treatment when an attack flares. While you should be prepared "just in case," it can be reassuring to know it's possible to reduce your risk of another gout attack by getting and sticking to a gout management plan that includes strategies for lowering your uric acid level.
Q. What Happens if I Don't Manage My Gout?
A. Gout is a chronic condition. As gout progresses, the attacks may become more frequent. Urate crystal deposits, called tophi, may also develop in the soft tissue and joints. This may ultimately lead to deformity and joint destruction. Gout that is not managed well may also put people at high risk of heart disease and stroke.
Q. What Can I Do to Avoid Gout Attacks?
A. Carefully follow the management plan you develop with your doctor. Follow through on the recommended diet and lifestyle changes, as well as any medications recommended to address the underlying cause of gout. It is important to keep the lines of communication open with your doctor so he or she can determine if your current management plan is the best for you. For more information on preventing future attacks, click here.
Q. What Do Food Choices Have to Do With Gout?
A. Though foods high in purines are not the cause of gout, they can trigger a gout attack. Your doctor can help you figure out which foods you should minimize and which you should eat more of. Before seeing your doctor, try keeping a food journal. Write down what you eat each day and keep track of any gout attacks. For a list of foods high in purines, click here.
Q. Do I Have to Take Gout Medication Forever?
A. Your doctor will decide if, and for how long, you need medication to manage your gout. But since gout is a chronic condition, you will need to be monitored on an ongoing basis. It's important to keep in touch with your doctor so that he or she can test your uric acid levels regularly and maintain the right management plan for you.

While genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are created with DNA from natural sources, the products of synthetic biology are often brought to life with DNA sequences invented on a computer.
Critics warn that the untested and unmonitored release of the seeds is ill-advised because no one would be able to control what happens to the plants once they leave the lab. Adding to the concern is that the genes that make the plants glow will be passed from one generation to the next.
"What if someone decides it would be cute to light up a national forest?" asked Arthur Caplan, a bioethicist at New York University and an adviser to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency on synthetic biology.
A coalition of more than 110 environmental watchdog organizations has called on international regulators to demand independent risk assessments for these types of projects. But it's not clear which U.S. agency should take the lead.
The various groups within the Department of Interior that oversee land and ecological issues — the Bureau of Land Management and Fish and Wildlife Service — say it's outside their purview. The Food and Drug Administration says it is not involved because the plant is not meant to be eaten. The Environmental Protection Agency says it's a Department of Agriculture matter.
In an e-mail exchange with the Glowing Plant Project's founders, the USDA acknowledges that this particular project may be outside its powers, too, because of the way the glowing plant is being created. Because the scientists are shooting the DNA into the plant tissue by using a gene gun instead of using older methods, the federal framework for regulating biotechnology doesn't cover this process.

---- — ELLENBURG — Northern Adirondack Central School will hold a special election on June 17 to fill the unexpired term of a School Board member who resigned.
Stephen Peryea stepped down after the point that his seat could have been put up to vote on May 21 along with one other board position on the ballot and the 2013-14 budget, according to District Clerk Helen Yelle.
And so the School Board must follow the same procedures in order to hold a special election to fill the spot, including the requirements for prospective candidates.
There are two years remaining on Peryea's five-year term.
People who are interested in becoming candidates must be: a qualified voter of the district, a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years old and a resident of the district for at least one year before the election.
Also, board members may not reside with a family member who is presently on the School Board, and they can't be an employee of the school.
People who want to be considered as candidates for this term must submit a petition to Yelle that is signed by at least 25 qualified voters of the district.
The petition must describe the specific vacancy for which the candidate is nominated, including the length of term of office and the name of the last incumbent.
Petitions may be submitted between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday at the District Office, 5572 Route 11, Ellenburg Depot.
The deadline is 3 p.m. Monday, May 20,; the office will stay open until that time to accept final submissions.
Petition forms are available at www.nacs1.org, at the District Office or, call 594-7060, Ext. 2501, to have a petition mailed to you.
For more information, reach Yelle at that same number.

LAWRENCEVILLE - An Atlanta man was recently indicted on 13 counts for allegedly attacking and raping a Snellville woman while armed with a baseball bat.Michael Jerome Spence, 27, faces charges that include rape, burglary, aggravated sodomy and drug possession that stem from the Aug. 5 incident. Spence is accused of attacking the woman at her home on Cordite Loop and forced her into having sex, according to an Oct. 23 indictment. A police report indicates that Spence and his alleged victim had previously been in a relationship. Spence remains at the Gwinnett County Detention Center without bond. His arraignment is expected later this month. He was employed as a bouncer at an Atlanta strip club prior to his arrest, jail records show. During the incident, Spence was carrying a Tic Tac bottle in his front pocket containing 10 pills of Ecstasy, according to a Gwinnett police report. Spence arrived at the woman's home in a stolen 2007 Dodge Charger and broke in when his knocking was ignored, the report said. He attacked a male occupant inside with a black baseball bat who called police after Spence forced him from the home, according to the report. Gwinnett police secured the home and arrested Spence inside. The woman's child was home at the time, the report said.

In light of yesterday's confirmation of internecine squabbling on the Red Sox, at least Bobby Valentine can say that he never had to confront Lou Piniella in the bathtub.
On July 14, 1977, as public criticism of New York Yankees manager Billy Martin by both his players and owner George Steinbrenner reached a discordant crescendo, veteran players Lou Piniella and Thurman Munson met with Steinbrenner in a Milwaukee hotel room. The defending AL pennant winners had recently slipped from first place to third. The message they delivered: "If you're going to fire [Martin], then fire him. If you're not, leave him alone and let him manage."
The message was apparently a bit different than the one allegedly delivered to Red Sox ownership on July 26. According to Yahoo's Jeff Passan, "some players stated flatly they no longer wanted to play for Valentine." Piniella and Munson were more equivocal. They didn't care if Martin was fired as long as the manager was left alone.
None of the three knew that Martin, whose room was next door, had returned from his nightly sojourn in the hotel bar in time to overhear the argument. Busting in on Steinbrenner like a cuckolded husband, Martin found Steinbrenner alone. Undeterred, he threw open the bathroom door and found his designated hitter and catcher-in some accounts, crouching in the bathtub behind the shower curtain.
This brings to mind an old gag by the 1960s comedian Myron Cohen. A man, thinking his wife is having an affair, bursts into his bedroom. Seeing the Missus alone in bed with rumpled sheets, he goes to the bathroom, throws back the shower curtain, and finds a man standing in the tub. "What are you doing there?" he shouts.
"Everyody's gotta be someplace," the man replies.
It is Bobby Valentine's misfortune that every manager has to be someplace as well, even if that someplace is a hostile environment where his every decision, right or wrong, is going to be magnified and picked apart.
Player rebellions are nothing new. Even the ur-managers Connie Mack and John McGraw claimed they had teams quit on them, using that as a rationale to clean out the clubhouse. Prominent players on the 1940 Cleveland Indians demanded that manager Ossie Vitt be fired, finding themselves labeled "Cry Babies" when word got out. When Leo Durocher suspended Bobo Newsom in 1943, it led to a backlash that cost the club the services of future Hall of Famer Arky Vaughan. Joe DiMaggio led a not-so-quiet cabal against Casey Stengel in 1949. The 1964 Yankees seemingly spent as much time undermining manager Yogi Berra to general manager (and former manager) Ralph Houk as they did trying to win games. The Astros of the late 1960s spent their off hours singing song parodies mocking manager Harry Walker. Closer to the present day, Terry Collins famously lost the Angels clubhouse in 1999, leading to his resignation from that team.
That a group of 25 players can sometimes clash with the man placed over them shouldn't be news to anyone who has ever held a job. Sometimes a boss just doesn't fit well with his charges, and his skill set doesn't apply to his present circumstances. For Mack and McGraw, they were co-owners of their club so it was the players who changed rather than the manager. That may be what ultimately happens in Boston, where management has expressed confidence in Valentine. More often, though, it's the manager who needs to move on. In Brooklyn and Boston, Stengel found that platooning two bad players didn't make one good one, but in New York, platooning two good players made the good players better and the roster deeper. Joe Torre's amiability didn't help him make good decisions in three stops prior to the Yankees, but made him the perfect foil for George Steinbrenner in an organization where the owner needed more management than the roster.
Valentine is a brash manager with a strong personality who joined the Red Sox with far more than the minimum three strikes against him: he hadn't managed in the majors in ten years, which increases skepticism and increases the chances of alienation from fast-evolving clubhouse and strategic cultures; at 62 he is old for his job -- despite many famous geriatric managers over the years, most succeed earlier in their careers, not later, when the generation gap between they and their charges is narrow; he is an intense, critical type taking over for a player's manager; he inherited a set-in-their-ways roster of veterans; and finally, he joined a successful organization, one with two championships in recent memory and a postseason appearance as recently as 2009. Why adopt someone else's methods when your own, however problematic they have become recently, have proved successful? Winning has reassured you even of the validity of your own vices.
The Red Sox have had enough injuries this year that any manager would have been thwarted, and the pitching staff might have been doomed even if the lot had remained healthy. Winning cures many ills, although many of the managers listed here were confirmed winners in other times and places -- bad chemistry will not be mollified by a few victories. It's likely that, given the totality of circumstances, no manager could have succeeded in appeasing the Red Sox players this year. In short, everybody's gotta be someplace, but it's possible that no one should have been in Boston.

Rowley — Jeanne E. Reith, a Rowley resident, passed away while in the hospital on Sunday, March 17, 2013. Jeanne was born on March 26, 1934, in Perth Amboy, N.J., and spent her childhood in Fords, N.J., and then Metuchen, N.J. She was the daughter of Willard and Augusta (Petersen) Dunham. She leaves Carl Hampe, her beloved friend and companion.
Jeanne is survived by two sons and their spouses, Skip and Bette Reith and Allan and Malisa Reith. She is also survived by her two grandsons, Derek Reith and Howard Reith, and two step-grandchildren, Charles Morrill and Nichole Morrill. She is survived by her brother Willard Dunham Jr. She was preceded in death by her sister Silvia Dunham, and two brothers, Clifford Dunham and Thomas Dunham. Jeanne also has many cousins, nieces and nephews.
Jeanne was educated in the Fords, N.J., school system, finishing high school at Metuchen. She went to Vermont Junior College and after getting an associate's degree in liberal arts, she transferred to Tufts University, earning a bachelor's' degree in early childhood education. She continued her education throughout her life, finishing with a master's in education from Cambridge, plus completing many graduate classes. She married Howard Reith Jr. after Tufts, settling in Massachusetts to raise her family.
Jeanne began teaching kindergarten in 1966 in Grand Forks, N.D. In 1969, the family moved to Rowley, where she lived for the rest of her life. She started teaching kindergarten in Ipswich, and taught there until her retirement in 1999, although she continued teaching part-time for several more years. During her tenure of teaching, she touched the lives of her many students, giving them a strong start in education.
Jeanne enjoyed spending time with her many friends and family, always making people feel welcome in her home. She inherited a love of gardening from her mother and father; she always enjoyed the time she spent in her gardens. Jeanne was quite fond of the arts, spending many hours enjoying painting, photography and writing both poetry and prose. She enjoyed all forms of music, which she and Carl shared through their many concerts and shows.

Killswitch Engage – As Daylight Dies Reviews
From the Artist
There's definitely some urgency in the album, and a lot of that comes from my feeling there's so little time to do all the stuff we can to make a difference, Jones explains. Just look at the way the world is – it's just hard to fathom some of the stuff that's happening out there, some of the atrocities. As for whether this is a `political' record, it's there in black and white – I'll let people judge for themselves; but I think if there's any kind of statement (more…)

Mark Barron has undergone surgery to repair a double hernia and could be out of action until July. He will miss the 2012 NFL Draft Combine set to run from Feb. 22-28 as a result. Barron has been projected as a late first-rounder and is arguably the top safety prospect in this year's class. Though Mocking The Draft recently had him being taken No. 21 overall in this year's draft, there is a chance that the injury could drop his stock.
Barron was an instrumental part of Alabama's national championship defense this past season, earning consensus All-America honors after recording 66 tackles--four of them for loss--and two interceptions. During Senior Bowl practices he was rumored to have undergone single hernia surgery, a procedure with a 4-6 week recovery window. Bad news turned worse when it was discovered that the procedure was actually double hernia surgery, putting him out eight weeks and limiting his opportunities to wow scouts even further.
Still, even if Barron drops he shouldn't drop far. His college resume is sterling, and teams are likely still drooling at his size and tackling ability even if he is an injury risk to some extent.
For all updates regarding Mark Barron and where he will end up, stay tuned to this StoryStream. For all news and information regarding the Alabama Crimson Tide, check out Roll 'Bama Roll.

Finding the "Mystery Woman" of Street Photography
Sarah Coleman talks with co-directors John Maloof and Charlie Siskel about bringing the hidden story of street photographer Vivian Maier to life.March 27th, 2014 | Sarah Coleman
Imagine an artistic discovery you simply can't keep to yourself. The images are that penetrating. For John Maloof, Vivian Maier's street photography demanded to be seen. Two books and one documentary later, the world can trace Maloof's path toward Finding Vivian Maier.
Vivian Maier never wanted to be famous. Working as a nanny in 1950s Chicago, Maier always locked her bedroom door and insisted her employers never enter her space. Though she didn't hesitate to stick a camera into other people's faces, she disliked giving people her name and referred to herself as "the mystery woman."

Back to the Past: Keva Rosenfeld's 1987 Documentary "All American High" Finds a New Audience
Michele Meek talks with director Keva Rosenfeld about his decision to re-master his 1987 original.February 12th, 2014 | Michele Meek
Is our nostalgia for the 80s replacing our nostalgia for the 50s? Michele Meek suggests so, using a resurgence of interest in Keva Rosenfeld's 1987 documentary, All American High, as her primary example. It screens March 9th and 12th at SXSW.
The 1980s are the new 1950s. We have entered an era where big hair, landlines, and nightly news feel as remote and charming as poodle skirts and soda shops did in Back to the Future.

Sundance 2014: I Want You... to Be the New Frontier
Senior producer Maddy Kadish assesses the cutting-edge New Frontier section at Sundance 2014.February 2nd, 2014 | Maddy Kadish
Sundance's New Frontier section took form through data visualization, transmedia, virtual-reality, and interactive film exhibits. Maddy Kadish highlights what hit and what missed from this year's festival.
Park City, UTAH -- For its 8th year in the 30-year-old Sundance Film Festival, the New Frontier section continued to unabashedly embrace change.
Sundance 2014: Animators Pump New Visions into Documentary Aesthetic
Neil Kendricks talks with Molly Schwartz about animating the doc, "Watchers of the Sky."February 1st, 2014 | Neil Kendricks
Neil Kendricks takes a look at how animation was used in the documentaries at Sundance 2014 and speaks one-on-one with Watchers of the Sky's Molly Schwartz.
Park City, UTAH -- Animation is the new trend, changing the rules of documentary filmmaking with pencil and paper, computers, and a surplus of imagination. The writing on the wall—or drawings in this case—is that the old methods of relying on knowledgeable talking heads and archival footage to drive a non-fiction film are no longer enough for contemporary audiences.
Sundance 2014: Three Films Disturb the Peace
Neil Kendricks on the cinematic raconteurs that stormed Sundance 2014.February 1st, 2014 | Neil Kendricks
Despite the unavoidable Park City glitz, Neil Kendricks writes, "Sundance still provides a forum for much-needed cinematic troublemakers." Read how three films in particular grabbed him by the collar, Only Lovers Left Alive, 20,000 Days on Earth, and Rat Pack Rat.
Park City, UTAH -- Rocking the boat is practically a pastime for the most adventurous films at the Sundance Film Festival, which turned the big 3-0 this year.
Sundance 2014: The Independent's Top 10 Moments for WomenJanuary 30th, 2014 | Maddy Kadish
From creepy to awesome, women made their mark on and off screen at Sundance 2014. The moments were many but we've opted to share 10 of our favorites with you. Enjoy!
Park City, UTAH -- Sundance inspires—it is full of creative and passionate people. This year the amount of outstanding and exciting work by female filmmakers brought a distinctly different tone to the festival, certainly more representational, and even more cutting edge than in past years.

Park City, UTAH -- At Sundance 2014, the three shorts in Documentary Shorts Program II used different devices to exhibit sorrow and beauty. All three films show the humanity, flaws, and hope that lives in all of us. These types of films are the reason that I come to Sundance.
New York Jewish Film Festival 2014 - Critic's Choices
Kurt Brokaw picks his top choices from the 23rd New York Jewish Film Festival.January 14th, 2014 | Kurt Brokaw
Of his NYJFF critic's picks, Kurt Brokaw writes that Ida "was the most closely watched film of this fest even before it opened," and The Jewish Cardinal "is a film any NYJFF devotee will find worthy of the closest attention." He's also added Regina and GentleDog to his list. The fest runs January 8-23, 2014.
How inspiring that The Film Society of Lincoln Center has partnered with The Jewish Museum for more than two decades in presenting world, US, and New York premieres of films from around the globe.

It's official now: Ben Sheets is back with the Atlanta Braves. From MLB's official Twitter machine:
OFFICIAL: @Braves sign four-time All-Star RHP Ben Sheets to Minor League contract.— MLB (@MLB) July 1, 2012
Not only was he signed, but apparently he's in uniform throwing a bullpen session at Turner Field on Sunday. That suggests that he was going to skip the whole minor-league tune-up part, but according to Danny Knobler, Sheets will start for the Braves' AA affiliate on July 4.
Sheets is still just 33, which is probably about five years younger than you were thinking. He threw 20 games in 2010 for the Oakland A's, compiling a 4.53 ERA before having season-sending elbow surgery. He missed the 2009 season because of elbow surgery as well, but he made the All-Star team in both 2007 and 2008.
In 2004, Sheets had one of the greatest single-season strikeout-to-walk ratios ever, striking out 264 and walking 32 in 237 innings.

Turf project would actually save money
I am writing in response to the June 4 article "Niles stadium gets turf" written by Ashley Newman. Having been involved in a project (R.E.I.N., Renovating Excellence In Niles) for more than four years to renovate the athletic facilities in Niles, I can only take this article has a purposeful attack on the Niles City Schools and the work of the R.E.I.N. committee. Not one time in his 700-plus words does Mr. Newman mention the $400,000 that has been donated or pledged to this project by the Niles Area Chamber of Commerce, local businesses and people who share our vision of providing safe, first-class facilities to the young people of Niles.
The article intentionally makes it seem as though the school district is funding the entire cost of the project. You know this not to be the case. At minimum, your publication was aware of $350,000 in donations that R.E.I.N. had secured. These donations were documented in the Tribune Chronicle in an article titled "Securing the future" written on June 10 of last year.
At the board meeting on the June 3, I spoke in response to the many of the questions raised in the article yet my comments were not included in any explanation as to why the board of education has moved forward with the installation of the synthetic playing field.
So, please, set the record straight: The only money that the Niles City School District is putting toward the project is the money estimated that it had previously used to maintain the grass field. Many synthetic field installers estimate that figure to be more than $50,000 a year, but we studied the situation closely and determined that number to be 30 percent less. The school has committed to contributing for a period of eight years while the life expectancy of the surface is 12 years (a point that I addressed at the June 3 meeting). Therefore, their investment will likely SAVE the district more than $100,000 in the last four years of its life. Resurfacing at that point would be at a cost of $350,000 which, again, could be met by the school district by keeping the status quo in regard to its financial commitment to a playing surface at Bo Rein Stadium whether it be grass or synthetic.
I applaud the action taken by the board of education. They have accepted the generosity of our community while investing 0.15 percent of its operating budget that it was previously dedicating to maintaining the inadequate grass surface and have committed to a safer, more accessible playing surface for our football teams, boys and girls soccer teams, band and physical education classes in Niles.
While we continue to Renovate Excellence In Niles, perhaps your publication can work toward the task of providing an accurate portrayal of the news it reports.

Wondered what I was missing
Then I started to draw. That was it. Then still something not there. Then I turned down the music to hear the pencil slide- rough but velvety -across the paper. That was it. Winter coming feels just right. xoAM

Accrington youngsters take part in dvd against hate crime
6:00pm Sunday 27th January 2013 in News
AN ACADEMY is to lead the way in a bid to tackle religious hate crime and bullying in a joint partnership scheme.
Accrington Academy have helped national campaigners and the Crown Prosecution Service create a hard-hitting DVD and educational resource pack which will be used in schools across the country.
The scheme, which also includes the National Union of Teachers and the Anthony Walker Foundation, has seen academy pupils produce a teachers' toolkit with classroom activities designed to tackle prejudice.
Pupils helped to devise and acted out the dramatised scenarios of racist and religious incidents in the DVD. They provide starting points for discussion and are based on real life experiences of the young people who took part in the project.
Adeel Malik, a Year 9 pupil from Accrington Academy, said: "We have become a lot more aware of our rights as young people and what we should and should not tolerate. It has become easier to identify these issues now."
Nathalie Whitam, also a Year 9 pupil from Accrington Academy, said: "We've learnt so much about what a hate crime actually is. It's been an empowering experience that has certainly helped us to support others with their hardships."
Koser Mahmood, community cohesion co-ordinator for Accrington Academy, said: "Working with the CPS has been an excellent experience for our students.
"They have grown in both awareness and confidence. It was great to see the CPS really interested in what today's young people are struggling with and giving sound advice that they can use in their everyday lives.
"Racism is an unfortunate reality of our times and by exposing its characteristics and dealing with it head on, a school community can only move forward in a positive way.
Nazir Afzal, north west chief crown prosecutor, said: "The young people who worked on this project with us have been inspirational.
"Their ideas, enthusiasm and willingness to share their own experiences brought the stories in the video clips to life and produced a powerful and thought provoking DVD."
The Racist and Religious Hate Crime Project containing video clips and classroom activities and guidance for teachers can be viewed on the CPS North West website at the following link http://www.cps.gov.uk/northwest/tackling_crime/hate_crime/schools_project_racist_and_religious_hate_crime/

WARWICK, R.I. - An alleged drunk driver is in police custody and an infant is in the hospital, after police arrested a 23 year-old man who was allegedly driving while intoxicated with a baby in the back seat.
Police say shortly before 9 p.m. Saturday, they saw a car traveling down Warwick Avenue at high speeds, weaving in and out of lanes as it traveled towards the Warwick Ave/Airport Rd. intersection.
At the intersection, police say, the car struck another vehicle and caused it to roll over before continuing down Airport Road, with police in hot pursuit.
A few hundred feet later, police say the man driving lost control of his car and struck three other vehicles before crashing into a retaining wall.
The driver, Anthony Diaz, 23, of Warwick, attempted to run away and was taken down by police. Police say they quickly determined that Diaz was allegedly under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
After Diaz was taken into custody, police discovered an infant in the car. It is unclear if the infant was strapped in or properly restrained in an infant car seat.
The baby suffered minor injuries and was taken to Hasbro Hospital, but is expected to survive.
Police say the incident stems from a domestic dispute involving Diaz and another person. Diaz may face additional charges as the investigation continues.

The Yankees are snake-bit like no other team in this playoffs. Alex Rodriguez isn't in the lineup because he's so danged snake-bit, and neither is Nick Swisher. Derek Jeter is out for the year, and in the bottom of the fourth, starting pitcher Phil Hughes left with a herniated lumbar disc, which probably means he's out for the postseason, too.
And if the news isn't good with the offense or the injuries, well, it's not much better when it comes to the pitching or fielding, either. Quintin Berry reached on an error by A-Rod replacement Eric Chavez to start the fifth, setting things up for Miguel Cabrera, who did this:
That chased reliever David Phelps, and it put the Tigers up 2-0. Clay Rapada came in and got Prince Fielder to ground out. After an intentional walk to Delmon Young (not as funny as it used to be), Andy Dirks grounded out for the second out of the inning, and right-hander Cody Eppley came in to retire Jhonny Peralta on a fly to center.
The Yankees are down 2-0, they're going against Justin Verlander, and everyone is either hurt or stinky. IF they end up winning this series, this is the second plot point at the end of act two, where everything is at its bleakest.

NEW YORK (MainStreet) -- A new MassMutual study shows that about half of all parents who make funding their kids' college education a priority have little left for their own retirement. It seems that with money being tight, the kids are a priority as Mom and Dad take a back seat.
The idea that parents are falling behind on their retirement savings isn't anything new. Studies show that American adults – of all age groups – are worried sick about their financial futures.
Related Articles
But what is new is that American parents, knowing full well their own financial futures are at risk, are doing what they can to ensure their kids get a decent college education – even if it means they raid their own retirement savings to pay for college costs.
The MassMutual study notes only three in 10 parents believe they are adequately funding their own retirement. And half the study participants told MassMutual that after they pay for their kids' college education, there won't be enough money left for their own retirement savings. Some other points from the study:
• 39% of Americans have developed a plan for retirement saving.
• 31% of women have a plan for retirement, "despite the fact that women can expect to spend more than 50% more time in retirement than men," the report points out.
• 63% of study participants say they will work part-time during their retirement.
American parents don't have just their children's college education to worry about, either. About 25% or survey respondents say they are caring for their elderly parents as well, but that's still not stopping them from plowing money towards their children. The study says that 71% of U.S. parents say "it's important that their children aren't burdened by taking care of them when they're older."
But that could be spreading the financial assets way too thin, MassMutual says.
"When I talk to families about their financial planning needs, we cover plans to pay for children's college by asking how much of their child's education they want to cover, what percentage of their income they want to save for it, and whether or not they think their children will receive any financial aid," said Kevin Paasch, a MassMutual sales manager at Commonwealth Financial Partners in Virginia Beach, Va., in a statement. "Planning for your children's education is a critical need, but prioritizing this above your own financial future may be risky."
The good news, if there is any in the report, is that Americans seem to be finally getting a good grip on debt. MassMutual says that 60% of Americans are not racking up too much debt, up from 50% in 2010.
Watching out for your kids' future is a noble gesture, but it could also be a dangerous one for American families. But right now, there don't seem to be many options for concerned – and cash-strapped – parents.

How to make a King Cake
1/3 cup granulated sugar
Colored Sugar
3 cups granulated sugar
- In a mixer at first speed combine 1/3 cup granulated sugar, salt, and shortening until well creamed.
- Add eggs and continue to cream.
- Dissolve the yeast in the milk and add the flavors.
- Once dissolved add to creamed mixture and continue to mix.
- Add flour and mix until dough tightens.
- Remove from mixer and kneed into a ball.
- At this point sprinkle some flour on top and cover with a clean kitchen towel.
- Allow the dough to rest for 1½ hours.
- While the dough is resting mix your colored sugars.
- Start by taking one cup of sugar and your yellow food coloring.
- Mix by hand with a wire wisk in a metal bowl until the sugar turns yellow.
- Pour your yellow sugar into a separate bowl and put off to the side.
- Repeat this process mixing green then purple. (By doing them in that order you only dirty one mixingbowl)
- When dough has rested roll out into an oblong piece.
- Brush on canola oil covering the entire piece.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar liberally over the whole piece.
- Once the dough is covered with the cinnamon sugar and oil, fold it in half lengthwise.
- Cut into 3 strips and braid the dough.
- Gently roll the dough by starting at one end and working all the way down to the other end.
- This will make the dough a nice long piece that can then be shaped into a circle.
- Once shaped place on a baking pan covered with piece of parchment.
- Allow the dough to rest again until it doubles in size.
- At this point take a spoon and alternate sprinkling the three colored sugars on top of your circular piece of dough.
