State budget cuts in the NC Infant Toddler Program have the state Department of Health and Human Services planning to close three Children's Development Services Agencies in the eastern part of the state by July 1 and have the work managed from East Carolina University in Greenville.
State-run offices in New Bern, Rocky Mount and Wilmington will close and the work consolidated at ECU, which works under contract to coordinate interventions for special-needs infants and toddlers.
The closures mean that 173 state employees will lose their jobs. But the Greenville office will expand and add 150 positions, said Julie Henry, the state Department of Health and Human Services spokeswoman. The state employees who find work in the Greenville office will become ECU employees and keep their benefits, she said. Other state offices have openings where employees willing to relocate can find jobs, Henry said. With the office closings, the state Child Development Service Agencies will drop from 16 to 13.
The state expects services to families will continue without interruption, Henry said. The program helps disabled children age 3 and younger learn basic skills through in-home visits.
The legislature cut $8 million from the Infant Toddler Program this year and is expected to make a $10 million cut next year.
Dr. Robin Cummings, a DHHS deputy secretary, said in a memo last week that the budget reductions "are primarily due to the fact that the program has unexpended dollars each year, at least in part because of multiple hiring freezes on CDSA positions in the state CDSAs, as is true for all of state government."
Nearly 20,000 children were served in the program in 2012-13.

CHILLICOTHE, Ill. -- Officers and friends put on the first ever whiffle ball tournament to raise money for suicide awareness and prevention.
After dispatch officer Matt Adams committed suicide this past May, fellow officers and friends started their own event to raise money for Whitney's Walk For Life suicide prevention program.
They decided to build two small sized baseball fields at Santa Fe Park to hold the first ever whiffle ball tournament.
Twelve teams signed up for the tournament this year.
"He would definitely have all smiles right now. He loved us, he loved whiffle ball, he loved the community, and he would definitely be very proud of us right now," said Richard Crady, Adams best friend.
They are looking to bring in $1,000 to $1,500 for the whiffle ball tournament.
Team Adams has already raised $5,000 from the Whitney's Walk event last weekend.

text: The fourth suspect involved in stealing a woman's car from her at gunpoint outside of a Peachtree City Walmart is under arrest, the Peachtree City Police Department announced Monday morning.While details of the arrest have not been made public, 14-year-old Michael Long, of Palmetto, is in police custody. He's been charged with armed robbery, hijacking a motor vehicle and participating in a criminal street gang.Three teenagers – all 16 years of age – are also under arrest in connection with the armed carjacking that happened in front of the Walmart last Saturday afternoon.Peachtree City police say the Zaviaire Baitley, of Atlanta, approached a shopper around 2:30 p.m. at the Walmart on Georgia Highway 54 and stole their car at gunpoint. Baitley then sped off in the vehicle.Officers responding to the scene set up a perimeter at the major intersections of the city. Minutes later, police located Baitley driving the stolen vehicle traveling northbound on Highway 74 from Highway 54, police said. Baitley refuses to stop at a checkpoint and a police went after the stolen car.A high-speed chase caught on video, and exclusively obtained by FOX 5 News, shows the suspect weaving in and out of traffic and running stop signs and red lights. Baitley avoided Stop Sticks deployed by the Fayette County Sheriff's Office in the area of Hwy. 74 at Milam Road, continuing northbound on Hwy 74. From I-85 northbound, the pursuit continued on Interstate I-285. Police say Baitley was involved in a motor vehicle collision while exiting the interstate at the intersection of Cascade Road and I-285, in Fulton County, where he was taken into custody.Police worked through the night to try to find Baitley's accomplices. They caught up with two of them --Demetrious Watson and Nathan Gullatte, both of Palmetto.All four teens are charged with armed robbery, hijacking a motor Vehicle and participation in a criminal street gang. Baitley, in addition to the above charges, faces felony attempt to elude, numerous traffic charges and illegal drug possession. Peachtree police are trying to locate the vehicle that the teens arrived in just prior to committing the robbery. The suspect vehicle was identified as a light gray 2002 Toyota Camry four door bearing North Carolina Tag ZVW-2181 with damage to the center of the bumper.If anyone has information that would assist the Police Department in this or any other incidents, please contact us at 770-487-8866.

How to modify blog_description via filter
I'm in a process of writing my own plugins for BuddyPress. But I faced with the problem – I don't understand how to remove filters (while I do know how to add them). What I mean:
I want to change function bp_get_blog_description(), which has this code inside:
return apply_filters( 'bp_get_blog_description', $blogs_template->blog['description'] );
As I understood I need to remove this filter (to add then my own with my extra info).
remove_filter either don't work or I don't understand how to use it.
What could you advice me?
Any help would be appreciated. I can just catch the idea if there is no clear solution.
Oh, BP1.0 and WPMU 2.7.1 (unuseful info, I know).

Does anyone know where I can find a table that compares engine serial #'s to tractor serial #'s? I need to order a generator belt and I know that my front bolster is a transplant. The majority of my casting dates are from mid 1953.
Based on TM's ranges on the correct belt, it appears somewhere mid-1953 is when one belt was replaced with another. Maybe something else can tell me which one I need. I don't have the magneto setup, my engine serial # is 37456. If I could finds general dates corresponding to the block serial # then I'd know which one I needed.
And since my casting dates are from around the time of the generator belt switch, I'm at a loss. Thanks for any help finding this table or explaining why one might need one belt vs. the other!!!

NYT Goes Label-Crazy on 'Conservatives' in 2012, But in 2008 Dems Were Only 'Populist'
Thursday's lead story on the aftermath of the Iowa caucuses, "Romney Showing Financial Muscle For Next Round," found New York Times reporters Jim Rutenberg (pictured) and Jeff Zeleny a little label-happy in Manchester, New Hampshire, using twelve variations on the "conservative" label in a 1,236-word story.
By contrast, back in 2008, the Times's Michael Powell actually called the liberal Gov. Michael Dukakis a "pragmatist" and ultra-liberal politicians Sen. Ted Kennedy and Jesse Jackson "populists," while calling Sen. Hillary Clinton a "liberal pragmatist" a grand total of once. In the same story, Sen. John Edwards was described as having wrapped himself in a "populist cloak."
Here's a taste of Rutenberg and Zeleny's "conservative" pile-on:
Mitt Romney flew here Wednesday, displaying his financial and organizational muscle in New Hampshire against the upstart candidacy of Rick Santorum, who was seeking to use his near-victory in the Iowa caucuses to become the standard-bearer of a conservative insurgency.
But behind the scenes, Mr. Santorum's aides were busily wooing the leaders of the coalition of social conservatives, Tea Party supporters and budget hawks who have resisted Mr. Romney's candidacy. Some of those conservative leaders were now discussing among themselves whether Mr. Santorum could be the one candidate they can coalesce around -- and whether he was truly viable against the machine that is Mr. Romney's campaign.
The rise of Mr. Santorum has prompted some conservative leaders to take a second look at his candidacy, but skepticism remains about his ability to build a national organization.
"What Santorum did in Iowa was to give people an excuse to re-evaluate whether they think he can win or not," said Gary L. Bauer, a participant at the meetings and a Republican presidential candidate in 2000 who is president of the conservative group American Values. "The race is far from over. People are trying to sort out who is the most conservative nominee who can also win the nomination."

Mr Vanilla not a populist
Submitted by laree on Thu, 01/05/2012 - 6:21pm.
It makes no sense to run a sweep in 2010 to just turn their backs on the populist movement that put them back in contention, but that's just what the Republicans are doing and the Democrats couldn't be happier.
28,000 Independents participated out of 122,255 republican caucus goers, that puts republican participation in their own caucus under 100,000.00 Ron Paul came in 3rd with 21% his 3rd place win was made up of 44% Independents.
The GOP really has a big problem with their base. They can't see the big picture they need an excited base to vote in the General and Ron Paul's voters are committed they will write Paul's name in -in the general. Mitt Romney's strategy of last man standing – surviving the primary by dividing the conservative base is hurting the GOP's voter enthusiasm quotient. Barack Obama isn't going to have a problem ginning up his base against the evil 1% that Mitt Romney will be representing. Talk about made to order political punching bag. Yes I can see why the Democrats want Romney to be the nominee, and not the populist candidate Governor Rick Perry.

The republicans need to coalesce around a candidate. Its early in the process so there is time. Most republicans are OK with a label like "conservative". They need to use it more often and the final republican candidate had better be a conservative and proudly display such beliefs. If liberals presented themselves as "liberals" they know that would cost votes. Voters understand the difference. In 2008 President Obama was chosen because he presented well and "sounded" good. His actual message was very liberal as well as his history. People were blinded by polished speeches and didn't listen to the message. Being Liberal or Conservative is OK if the candidates defend each philosophy and the voters carefully listen to each message.

They skated their way to feeding hungry people.
The Ice Skating Academy of Atkinson hosted a free public skate and fundraiser for Somebody Cares New England at Haverhill's Veterans Memorial Ice Rink last month.
The event was held in honor of January being National Ice Skating Month. The event started with a skating presentation and then a public skate where professionals from the Ice Skating Academy offered free guidance to anyone skating that day.
More than 100 food items and $50 in cash were received and donated to Somebody Cares New England, a non-profit organization which works to prevent hunger in the region.
More than 120 skaters attended the event, which was run by Jill Pignatiello and Gillian Bannon of the Ice Skating Academy.

Stout Imperial - L'Amère à Boire

3.13/5 rDev -20.4%
This Imperial really doesn't come across as Imperial, I'm afraid. They had this on a ntiro pour, so the pour was black, with some ruby highlights, topped with a coffee ice cream colored head. Nice lacing left through-out the glass. Aroma was actually sweet and fruity, with some roasted notes. Taste was rather mild, although it did have a slightly alcoholic aftertaste. Just not as big and bold as expected.

3.15/5 rDev -19.8%
This beer is a completely opaque brown/black with a dense head the colour of coffee froth. Excellent retention and good lacing as well. Looks intimidating. Intense malty and fruity aroma that's slightly vinous and has plenty of roasted malt and coffee character, as well as a bit of dark chocolate thrown in. Low bitterness that didn't quite balance out the intense malty, almost lactose, sweetness. Some ripe fruitiness appeared part-way through. The finish was off-dry with light roastiness and some bitterness from the dark malts. Heavy body with a creamy texture and slight astringency. I'd say this is a fair imperial stout that needs a little work to get things right. Not a bad beer, but better balance between malt sweetness and hop bitterness, as well as reducing the astringency, would go a long way.

3.65/5 rDev -7.1%
Appearance: Blacker than grim death, with a cappuccino head.
Smell: Quite vinious, some dark fruits, blackberries and prunes to be precise, it then had a charred aroma that quickly morphed into creamy milk chocolate.
Taste: Rich, but not overwhelmingly so, it had fruity character with roasted malts and a decent coffee style bitter mouthfeel.
Yeah, it's not very over-the-top, many local brewpubs have more flashy offerings in this style, but this one has more balance and doesn't overwhelm your tastebuds, so that's why I keep coming back for more time and time again.

This pint arrives on the bar, and appears black, with slight reddish edges, and a finger of creamy beige head, that leaves little lace. It smells of roasted malt, chocolate, and mild coffee. The taste is thin chocolate malt, and some mild cafe au lait. The carbonation is light, the body not quite adequately hefty, and it finishes quite dry, powdered chocolate lingering. The elevated ABV is seemlessly integrated.
A decent, but not overly memorable RIS.

Very dark body with a tan 1-inch foam->beautiful. Aroma is not too intense, but milk coffeeish, chocolatey -> this is gonna be malty! The mouthfeel is as creamy as it gets, medium to full bodied. The taste is a fine mixture of malt and light drying hops: Brown chocolate, creamy coffee, licorice, a oatmeal character closing to St-Ambroise stout, with salty hints. Very good and easy to drink.

Avery pure vlack pour with a nice and thick tan head. The nose is mostly very dull although there are hints of sweet molasses and roasted malts. The mouthfeel and extremely rich and creamy, a pleasure. The sweetness is also in the taste but here you'll also find coffee & mocha notes with some dry, unsweetened chocolate. The finsih bends towards the dry and chalky. A nice stout!

A-Deep black with a medium thick and creamy head which was VERY long lasting.
S-Some roat and a bit of alcohol burn....not very aromatic.
T-Sweet and rich with some notes of raisins. Nice notes of dark roasted malt and a bit of espresso.
M-Medium-heavy body. Silky, rich and creamy, very nice! This is by far the best feature of this brew.
D-Smooth and easy to drink. Certainly not the biggest or best RIS I have had but this is a solid beer. The mouthfeel is absolutely crazy, IMHO.

The clear winner in the lineup, not that there was a bad one here. Coffee aroma. Thick Chocolatey, creamy, from nitro tap. Beautiful black with mocha head. Taste which is roasty and a touch of smoke and expresso certainly covers alcohol. Full mouthfeel. A nice after dinner drink.
Had again 6 years and something later, and not too thick as an IS is today. Big coffee.

Nice appearance, dark and opaque with brown foamy head. Some roasted and chocolate malt aroma. The alcohol is evident when you drink this although it could be even stronger for an Imperial. Black, roasted and chocolate malt flavors, but not as sweet as a lot of Imperials I've tasted.

Dark black body with a smooth beige head that hangs around for most of the drink. Coffee and cocoa nose.Treacle and dark chocolate in the flavour, with nice hints of dark fruit and rasins. Warming alcohol finish paired a viscous oily mouthfeel help to make this one a winner.

A good imperial stout, but not a great one. This beer arrived a totally opaque black colour with a rich, dense, brown head of foam. The aromas were of coffee, roasted malts, and faint hops. The taste? This was a very roasted, coffee-like imp stout, but unfortunately it just did not 'ring my bell' for one reason or another. The mouthfeel was a bit watery and the drinkability suffered a bit too.
A nice try!

I had the pleasure of drinking this fine beer late Saturday night during my last trip to Montreal, in the good company of TheLongBeachBum and ErikTheRed. I wasn't all that impressed with the other beers I tried here earlier in the day so I went with what I figured I could count on to be a good choice. I was right! This Stout Imperial was served on nitro, so it was very pretty. The beer was black with a super thick, creamy, off-white head. It smelled a little musty actually, which made me nervous about how it would taste. Then again, I suppose there's usually less of an aroma when a beer is on nitro. But really I didn't get much of anything in the nose except like a closed-up attic. Thankfully it tasted much better. This beer was sooo creamy. And very roasty. So, cappuccino-ish I suppose, but it didn't have much of an actual coffee taste. Just a general roasted flavor, with some creamy milk chocolate thrown in there. I loved this beer! Simple yet completely satisfying for an imperial stout. Mouthfeel was thick like a milkshake. Drinkability was very very good, but on the strong side. I had this at the end of the night after a tasting party, plus the bar staff was kind of kicking us out, so I didn't have an opportunity to drink loads of this, but if I ended up in Montreal on a cold winter afternoon and/or evening, this would be my beer of choice. Highly recommended.

A black beverage with read hints, a tan even small bubbled head with good lacing and curtains.
Burned notes, black malt, dried dark fruits.
Starting very sweet, brown sugar, dates, chocolate, red berries.
Low carbonation, a slightly coarse texture yet oily, a dry finish.
Very nice dessert, sweet as an american porter, but potent and fulfilling.

Black, with a whitish head, the head didnt stayed much long, as it thinned slowly. A caramel smell fill the glass. The taste is very chocolate at first then coffee then caramel with a hoppy resorts at last. Very drinkable, but it was served colder than expected so maybe it kept away some of its aromas. One of my favorite at l'Amére à boire

On tap at L'amerie a boire, Montreal.
Poured a deep black hue with a one finger creamy off white head. There was very good retention and lacing.
The smell featured burnt grains, coffee and a strak of sweet malts.
The taste consisted of cocoa, charcoal and burnt grain flavors with a bit of lactose sweetness.
The mouthfeel was of average fullness for the style.
Overall a delicious stout. Very user friendly and very drinkable for the style.

Had this on tap at the L'Amère à Boire brewpub on St. Denis in Montreal. Paired it with a very tasty burger
A - nice thick looking black beer with thick white head.
S - German sweet chocolate
T - Tasted like i was drinking a dark chocolate mocha milk shake. Overall kind of sweet but it was balanced perfectly with the hops so that it was not a dessert beer. Not too roasted. This overall flavor was not too complex but it tasted amazing. This is one of the cases where simplicity works.
M - Like a milkshake
D - Too Drinkable

A 92-yr.-old woman working in fast food isn't slowing down. Sara Dappen has been an employee of an Iowa, McDonald's for the past five years.
She cleans tables and keeps the place tidy, but she said her favorite thing to do is talk to customers.
"I thought it was more interesting to keep walking around here than to be walking up and down the street, and this keeps me from sitting," said Dappen.
"I think it's crazy and she's going to last to be like 110 working at McDonald's," said Elizabeth Holmes, Dappen's manager at McDonald's.
A U.K. newspaper ran an article earlier this month about an 88-year-old man the newspaper thought could be the world's oldest McDonald's employee; but Dappen has him beat by four years.

The 2011 DFL Supercup takes place Saturday July 23 at the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. The match features 2010-2011 Bundesliga Champions Borussia Dortmund facing 2010-2011 DFB Pokal Champions Schalke 04.
Soccer fans throughout the world will be treated to the greatest rivalry in Germany in the Supercup. The Ruhr District Derby (also known as the Revierderby) is one of the most passionate rivalries in the world with both groups of supporters having extreme distaste for each other. The two sides have fought it out on the pitch since their first match on May 3, 1925. Over the last 86 years they've played a total of 132 matches with Schalke winning 55 times, Dortmund winning 46 times, and the two sides playing to a draw 33 times.
This is the second year in a row that Schalke has played in the Supercup. Last year they suffered a 2-0 defeat to Bayern Munich. Borussia Dortmund's last Supercup appearance was in 2008 when they defeated Bayern Munich 2-1.
Dortmund looks like they'll be without a large portion of their team. Antonio Da Silva and Jakub Blaszczykowski will both definitely miss the match with knee injuries. Marcel Schmelzer will also be out of the match due to an ankle injury. Star striker Lucas Barrios is in Argentina preparing for the Copa America Final with Paraguay. Manager Jürgen Klopp will be hoping the quartet of Sven Bender, Mario Götze, Neven Subotic and Kevin Großkreutz will be prepared to take the field.
Schalke are in much better shape entering the match with only Jefferson Farfan and Christoph Moritz missing out due to injury. The real focus of the Schalke side will be goalkeeper Ralf Fährmann who made the move from Eintracht Frankfurt this summer. Schalke made the move for Fährmann when they sold Manuel Neuer to Bayern Munich.
The DFL Supercup will be broadcast in 175 countries throughout the world. Fans in India, Japan, Ireland, Great Britain, and the USA can watch the match live on the DFB's official Youtube channel. The match is scheduled for kickoff at 20:15 CET. For those of you in the United States that is 2:15 PM EDT.

BROWNSBURG — The rain had fallen, the stands were fairly empty and the start time was delayed nearly an hour and a half but they got in the 68th annual Night Before the 500 at Lucas Oil Raceway late Saturday night.
Those fans that stayed witnessed a rout in the prestigious USAC Midget Feature.
Darren Hagen won his second Night Before the 500 (2011) in dominating fashion by leading all 30 laps of the feature.
"Just to win one Night Before the 500 is unbelievable," Hagen said. "And I told the guys today that 'Hey if we win again, we're going to do some donuts all the way down the frontstretch.' But with the rain and them trying to get the race in we didn't want to hold up the show anymore.
"It's pretty unbelievable to win the biggest pavement race of the year in the United States twice. We've just been really blessed, Lord Jesus Christ has blessed us a lot."
The race was shortened from 50 laps and did not start until 10:50 p.m. after the close to two and half hour rain delay. Because of the shortened race, it was important for Hagen to get a quick start from his second starting position.
"I think races a lot of times are won it on some starts and going green to checkered that was a big, crucial start there," Hagen said. "You didn't want to fall behind early and use up some tires to get to the lead. You'd rather manage your own stuff from the start. With the RMFS Liberty Village McGladrey and Pullen Hinchman Race Uniforms Bell Helmet car being that spot on, you could turn the switch anytime you wanted."
About halfway through the race, Hagen's lead started shrinking and but he quickly drove away.
"When they shortened it to 30 from the rain we just decided to go from the start," Hagen said. "Got about halfway and just started cruising a little bit and if they beat me from cruising we're going to be in trouble. We got back after it and the car was spot on."
Honda National Midget Pavement Championship points leader Bobby Santos finished second and leads Hagen by six points. Last year's Night Before the 500 winner Tracy Hines finished third.
Kyle O'Gara placed fourth and Caleb Armstrong rounded out the Top 5.
Danville's Kyle Hamilton started from the pole and finished sixth. Avon's 17-year-old Austin Prock started tenth and finished in 11th.
Starting off the night, Californian Neil Alberico started second and led all 75 laps en route to victory in the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda.
"It was unbelievable," Alberico said. "You can feel the energy in the place, ovals are always really special, especially at Indianapolis for the Night Before the 500. It's huge."
The Pro Mazda Championship presented by Cooper Tires started under yellow because of a slight rain shower. They ran 12 laps before throwing the red flag at 8:36 p.m. The Pro Mazda race was pushed to start after the USAC feature because of the delay.
Pole sitter Matthew Brabham won the 51-lap rain-shortened Pro Mazda race.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama has one of the most famous faces in the world, so familiar he seems to be everyone's genial great-uncle. Yet journalists call him a "god" (he says he isn't) or a "living Buddha" (he says he isn't that, either). In some circles he is respected for his scholarship. In other circles he is ridiculed as a dim bulb. He is a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate who inspires millions, yet he is also demonized as a tyrant who incites violence.
Just who is the Dalai Lama, anyway?
In his book, Why the Dalai Lama Matters (Atria Books, 2008), scholar and former Tibetan monk Robert Thurman devotes 32 pages to answering the question, "Who is the Dalai Lama?" Thurman explains that the role of Dalai Lama embodies many layers that can be understood psychologically, physically, mythologically, historically, culturally, doctrinally and spiritually. In short, it is not a simple question to answer.
In brief, the Dalai Lama is the highest-ranking lama (spiritual master) of Tibetan Buddhism. Since the 17th century, the Dalai Lama has been the political and spiritual leader of Tibet. He also is considered an emanation of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, an iconic figure who represents boundless compassion. Avalokiteshvara, Robert Thurman writes, turns up time and time again in Tibet's creation and history myths as a father and savior of the Tibetan people.
Each Dalai Lama is recognized as the reincarnation of the previous Dalai Lama. This does not mean, however, that a Dalai Lama soul has transmigrated from one body to another through the centuries. Buddhists, including Tibetan Buddhists, understand that an individual has no intrinsic self, or soul, to transmigrate. It's a bit closer to a Buddhist understanding to say that the great compassion and dedicated vows of each Dalai Lama causes the next one to be born. The new Dalai Lama is not the same person as the previous one, but neither is he a different person.
For more on the role of the Dalai Lama in Tibetan Buddhism, see "What's a 'God-King'?"
Tenzin Gyatso
The current Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, is the 14th. He was born in 1935, two years after the death of the 13th Dalai Lama. When he was three years old, signs and visions led senior monks to find the little boy, living with his farming family in northeastern Tibet, and declare him to be the 14th Dalai Lama. He began his monastic training at the age of six. He was called upon to assume the full responsibilities of the Dalai Lama in 1950, when he was only 15, after the Chinese had invaded Tibet.
The Exile Begins
For nine years, the young Dalai Lama tried to prevent a total Chinese takeover of Tibet, negotiating with the Chinese and urging Tibetans to avoid violent retaliation against Chinese troops. His tenuous position unraveled quickly in March 1959.
The Chinese military commander in Lhasa, General Chiang Chin-wu, invited the Dalai Lama to view some entertainment in the Chinese military barracks. But there was a condition -- His Holiness could bring no soldiers or armed bodyguards with him. Fearing an assassination, on March 10, 1959, an estimated 300,000 Tibetans formed a human shield around the Dalai Lama's summer residence, Norbulingka Palace. By March 12 Tibetans also were barricading the streets of Lhasa. Chinese and Tibetan troops squared off, preparing to do battle. By March 15, the Chinese had positioned artillery in range of Norbulingka, and His Holiness agreed to evacuate the palace.
Two days later, artillery shells struck the palace. Heeding the advice of the Nechung Oracle, His Holiness the Dalai Lama began his journey into exile. Dressed as a common soldier and accompanied by a few ministers, the Dalai Lama left Lhasa and began a three-week trek toward India and freedom.

Challenges of Exile
The Tibetan people for centuries had lived in relative isolation from the rest of the world, developing a unique culture and distinctive schools of Buddhism. Suddenly the isolation was ruptured, and exiled Tibetans, Tibetan culture and Tibetan Buddhism tumbled out and quickly scattered around the world.
His Holiness, still in his 20s when his exile began, faced several crises at once.
As the deposed Tibetan head of state, it was his responsibility to speak for the people of Tibet and do what he could to lessen their oppression. He also had to consider the welfare of the tens of thousands of Tibetans who followed him into exile, often with nothing but what they wore.
Reports came from Tibet that Tibetan culture was being stifled. Over the next several years millions of ethnic Chinese would immigrate to Tibet, making the Tibetans an ethnic minority in their own country. Tibetan language, culture and identity were marginalized.
Tibetan Buddhism also was exiled; high lamas of the four major schools left Tibet, also, and established new monasteries in Nepal and India. Before long Tibetan monasteries, schools and dharma centers spread into Europe and the Americas as well. Tibetan Buddhism for centuries had been geographically confined and functioned with a hierarchy that had developed over centuries. Could it maintain its integrity after being dispersed so quickly?
Dealing With China
Early in his exile, His Holiness appealed to the United Nations for help for Tibet. The General Assembly adopted three resolutions, in 1959, 1961, and 1965, that called on China to respect the human rights of Tibetans. These were no solution.
His Holiness has made countless attempts to gain some autonomy for Tibet while avoiding all-out warfare with China. He has tried to steer a middle way in which Tibet would remain a territory of China but with a status similar to that of Hong Kong -- largely self-governing, with its own legal and political systems. More recently he has said he is willing to allow Tibet to have a Communist government, but he still calls for "meaningful" autonomy. China simply demonizes him and will not negotiate in good faith.

Ahead of the curve
A little more than a week into the men's rowing team practices, coach Jim Mitchell has found a ray of hope that may bode well for the upcoming season.
"We've done some testing of the guys to measure where their fitness levels are,'' Mitchell said. "It has been good. We're ahead of the curve of where we were last year; we're pulling better numbers as a team than we did last year. That gives us a little bit of hope but it doesn't mean we're going to be faster.''
Despite the solid early start, Mitchell warns there is a long way to go and there are some unknowns also.
"We still have to do a lot of work and we don't know where our competitors are this time of year and if they're faster than last year,'' he said. "However, if we continue the gains that we've gotten training-wise and we continue to focus on our technique and we have the camaraderie through the team and they work well together, it shows to be a good year.''
Although reluctant to single out individuals, Mitchell did look to a pair of rowers – Bernard Vingilis and Scott Del Vecchio -- as examples of high training regimens.
"There's been a lot of them,'' Mitchell said. "We usually don't name out one or two guys because with an eight-man boat every one of them is important. You're only as fast as your slowest guy.''
Vingilis (from Lithuania) has been doing really well so far and is getting stronger and stronger every day,'' he said. "He's been our fastest guy so far. And Del Vecchio (from Indialantic, Fla.) is another one who has come back in pretty good shape, but a lot of them have and that's what matters.''
Mitchell continues to stress entire team building as time goes on because the entire crew working in unison makes the difference.
"If we only have one or two fast guys it doesn't mean we'll have a fast boat,'' he said. "In some other sports you might have standout player and they might help pull the team along but it doesn't really work that way in rowing.''
Mitchell said the team is staying with its plan to not be on the water for any significant time before mid to late February.
" We've been sticking to our guns and continue to do a lot of work on the rowing machines, a little running and a lot of strength training in the weight room,'' he said. "We're really focused on getting the levels of fitness and strength that we need to before we get on the water.''
And, there's another little benefit to waiting.
"We want them to be a little antsy when we get on the water,'' he said. "We want to use it as a carrot, so to speak ,to make sure they get where they need to be.''
The men's season opens March 10 in Fellsmere, Fla.

Babies and children under the age of 5 getting less than 10 hours of sleep at night are more likely to be overweight or obese five years later, a new study suggests.
Researchers found that insufficient sleep at night may be a lasting risk factor for obesity later in life and that napping cannot replace the benefits of nighttime sleep," according to a study published Monday in the journal Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.
"This is something we may be able to change to address the growing obesity problem," said study author Dr. Janice Bell from the University of Washington.
Dr. Jennifer McKay explains how hormones can play in to weight gain, how to get children into a sleeping pattern and why keeping a baby up late to get them to sleep later is not a good way to go.

The Panther train continues to roll right along. The 5th ranked UNI wrestlers defeated #24 Purdue 21-12 in a sold out West Gym on Sunday. The win improves the Panthers to 12-0 for the first time in school history.
Dylan Peters earned UNI's only bonus points of the match. The 125 pounder put 2-time NCAA qualifier Camden Eppert on his back earning his 16th pin of the season in 3:34.
The Panthers have one final dual remaining on the road at Old Dominion on February 23.

Complying with a court order, the Archdiocese of Milwaukee on Monday released thousands of pages of documents and depositions that detail the Vatican's role and the role of local churches in priest sex abuse cases.
The Survivors Network for Those Abused by Priests (SNAP) was demanding the public release of these documents.
Read all of the documents at: http://www.andersonadvocates.com/Archdiocese-of-Milwaukee-Documents.aspx
The Archdiocese of Milwaukee filed for bankruptcy in 2011 to deal with sex abuse claims. Documents in the bankruptcy case show that in 2007 the Vatican gave then-Archbishop Timothy Dolan permission to move $57 million into a trust for "improved protection of these funds from any legal claim and liability."
The Vatican responded less than a month later, granting permission.
"A letter released today proves that Cardinal Timothy Dolan deliberately and deceptively shifted millions of dollars into a fund so it would be protected from clergy sex abuse lawsuits and settlements," SNAP president Barbara Blaine said in a statement. "Vatican officials move at a glacial pace, if at all, to protect kids from predator priests. But they move with lightning speed to protect church officials from criticism and church money from victims."
Attorneys for the sex abuse victims have accused Dolan of concealing funds during bankruptcy proceedings. The archdiocese has denied those allegations.
Minutes from a "Financial Council" meeting indicate plans to shelter funds began as early as 2003, with one entry saying, "Currently, we are working on setting up a Trust Fund to shelter the Parish Deposit Fund."
Dolan is now a cardinal in New York and president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Letters from then-Archbishop Dolan show he asked priests who were known offenders to be removed, stating that delays create the potential for scandal. In one case, approval from the Vatican took more than two years.
"The delays in contrast to the moving of money -- that took a little over a month to get approval on -- to the delays on removal of the priests from the priesthood are extraordinarily long," said attorney Jeff Anderson, who has spent decades filing suits against the Catholic Church. "In other words, everybody is dragging their feet because it's to their advantage."
The letters also outline payments to priests who voluntarily resigned.
"Namely, $10,000 when the petition is submitted and $10,000 when a definitive response is received," Anderson explained.
Dolan sent multiple letters to the Vatican requesting priests be removed, including one priest who admitted sexual abuse under a court order for no unsupervised contact.
Dolan responded on his blog on Monday, saying he applauds the document release in the name of transparency. He claims the release illustrates the church's commitment to removing priests who have abused parishioners and that the cemetery trust simply protected money that was already designated for maintenance.
Anderson contends the documents show a commitment to avoiding scandal and preserving the reputation of the church without mentioning how to protect children.
Anderson held a 1 p.m. news conference, appearing with roughly 5,000 pages of the 40,000 released. He described them as "revealing and revolting secrets long kept from the unwary," including:
- Details of the Vatican's role in priest abuse cases
- Cardinal Dolan's role in the events leading up to the Archdiocese of Milwaukee's bankruptcy filing
- The experience of gaining sworn testimony in depositions of former Milwaukee Archbishop Rembert Weakland, Bishop Richard Sklba, and current New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan and revelations disclosed in their depositions.
The victims are calling for the release of all Catholic Church child sex abuser files in the United States, including documents and files in Minnesota dioceses related to religious order clerics, employees and permanent deacons.
They are demanding Minnesota bishops release the personnel files and names of all known offenders to prevent any further harming of children.

A Collier County man was arrested after allegedly having sex with a minor after getting her drunk at his home.
According to the Collier County Sheriff's Office, Gregorio Zavala, 37, bought two minor girls a bottle of champagne, beer and liquor and encouraged them to drink it at his home.
The two girls said Zavala asked them intimate questions about their sex lives while they were drinking.
Deputies say Zavala took one of the girls into a bathroom when she blacked out.
According to the arrest report, he took off her clothes, put her in the shower and had sex with her even as she asked him to stop.
Reports said the girl had consumed four beers, a bottle of champagne, and two shots of liquor and had vomited several times.
Zavala was charged with two counts of sexual battery on a victim 12 to 17 years old and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Panel Analyzes Religion Through Lens of Liberal Arts
December 2, 2013
By Jennifer Cundiff '16
Dr. Robert Fuller and three other Bradley faculty examined Fuller's latest book, "The Body of Faith: A Biological History of Religion in America," in November's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Lecture Series. In addition to Fuller, the panel included professors from the biology, psychology, and history departments.
"Think of this as a giant playroom where we get to try ideas and play with them in the spirit that we can exchange ideas and have differences of opinion," Fuller said. "That is what we are here to do. This lecture is an academic discussion of religion."
Each of the panelists had a unique perspective on Fuller's assertion that religion has a basis in the natural sciences, particularly in biology. He asserts that "religion is an extended phenotype," that religion is a characteristic that results from a combination of genetics and environment.
Looking at Fuller's assertions from a natural science perspective Dr. Jennifer Jost examined Fuller's claims about moral emotions. She stated that, "self-sacrifice is not compatible with natural selection" and that in looking at this work in the future natural scientists will "examine hypotheses on the heritability of emotions."
Professor of history, Dr. Jeff Kosiorek began his portion of the discussion by commending Fuller "for this interdisciplinary endeavor." Kosiorek agreed with Fuller that the biological body is "an integral part of the history of American religion" but Kosiorek expressed concerns,stating that the book "assumes that things that are now true were universally true in the past."
Dr. Dave Schmitt added a psychologist's perspective when he addressed the role and context of science on culture and religion.
"We need to think of science's context in a cultural context," he said.
He went on to state that humans are peculiar primates, and that humans use, "extended phenotypes of religion...as weapons."
This panel, and panels like these, encourages an interdisciplinary approach to issues and subjects within academia. This is important to modern academia because, according to Fuller, "interdisciplinary discussion allows one's discipline to be enriched and cross-fertilized with other fields." Professor Jost also noted "interdisciplinary discussion encourages excitement in one's own discipline and this leads to new ideas in one's own field."

En español | There's good news for you: Money you make prior to taking benefits won't count toward the earnings limit.
In the year you begin taking benefits, all that Social Security considers is any monthly earnings after you begin benefits. The monthly limit in 2013 is $1,260. So, if you earn less than that amount per month after you claim Social Security, you'll get your full monthly benefit. If you earn more than it, you won't receive a benefit for that month.
The rules are different for people who are self-employed. When you begin the first calendar year of your retirement, you'll be subject to an annual limit, $15,120 in 2013. To learn how this limit works, see "Can I Beat the Social Security Earnings Test?". For more information on the issue of working, see the Social Security publication "How Work Affects Your Benefits".

Save Courtney from leaving FRCS
We, the students and faculty of FRCS, would like for Courtney McCann, AKA Handsome, to stay at Foxborough Regional Charter School. She makes up a rather important and unique part of the student body and without her it would not be the same. Her happy personality and bright attitude has shed light on to many dark times in some of our lives, and as such we would like to petition asking you, Ms. Bevilacqua(Courtney\'s mom), to please keep Courtney at FRCS. As some of you know, Courtney\'s mother would like for Courtney to leave FRCS and possibly move for unspecified reasons. We believe that Handsome should not have to move and should stay with us at FRCS, so please, be reasonable and sign the petition to keep Courtney from moving. Please, sign the petition and leave a comment so that we can end this unhappiness that has befallen someone who doesn\'t deserve it. Sincerely, The Students and Faculty of FRCS

By now I should know better then to read Joe Bowyer's columns, but like a moth to a flame, I'm drawn, if only to see what it is this week he's wrong about. One pattern I've picked up on is his ongoing lack of understanding about the Civil War.
It isn't liberals who say the South fought to defend slavery, it was the leaders of the Confederacy. The South Carolina Declaration of Secession alone makes 18 references to slavery. It is impossible to read the Georgia declaration without understanding that their overriding concern was the continuation of slavery. In the words of the Mississippi Declaration of Succession, "Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery — the greatest material interest of the world."
While many soldiers of the South weren't slave owners, it's also true that many soldiers in the German Army during World War II weren't Nazis. Would Joe argue that Hitler's goals weren't domination of Europe and the exterminations of Jews? Of course, he wouldn't. Hitler was unambiguous about his intention, and so were the leaders of the Confederacy.
Why does any of this matter? Because school is about getting an education, not programming, Joe's chief concern isn't about the quality of education our children are receiving, only that they aren't being molded into conservatives. He is willing to sacrifice knowledge for nostalgia.
He admits as much when he says he doesn't fear foreign invasion but decay from within. Joe fundamentally fails to understand that American values are not set in time. No more than we continue to farm using wooden plows pulled by horses do we define equality as being exclusive to white men. America is constantly evolving, but not everyone equates that with moral decay. The proof of that is the recent election, which was, among other things, a referendum between change and a return to what Joe would call "real" American values. The people chose to continue forward.
Joe cannot change the reason for the Civil War nor can he change the march of modernity. I'm sure if I live as long as Joe I'll look back on the America of my youth and reminisce, but I would hope that I would be wise enough to understand it wasn't necessarily better, only different. America's best days are always ahead of it, even if people like Joe can't recognize that.

The PKK - a Kurdish separatist group based in Turkey that the US has placed on its 'terrorist list' – has been in the thick of the fight against the Islamic State in Iraqi Kurdistan.
A positive step for Afghanistan is brokered by John Kerry. The key feature? Giving up on longstanding US political strategy for Afghanistan.
It appears Joko Widodo has won Indonesia's presidency over former general and Suharto stalwart Prabowo Subianto. But that doesn't mean Indonesia is on easy street.
The US Department of Justice arrested a Russian in Guam for involvement in a hacking and stolen credit card ring. Moscow says he was framed.
Viewing the enemy as a monster only motivated by hate – and only capable of responding to maximum force – can lead to error.
A black and white approach to the conflict isn't likely to yield better outcomes for either Israelis and Palestinians.
The Islamic State's game plan is to use massive doses of savagery and terror to get what it wants in Iraq. So far, it's working.
After a reported Gaza rocket strike near Israel's Ben Gurion Airport, the US suspended commercial flights to and from Tel Aviv.

The US Department of Justice arrested a Russian in Guam for involvement in a hacking and stolen credit card ring. Moscow says he was framed.
Hatred, anger, and desires for revenge are being driven ever higher by the dynamic of unequal violence between Israelis and Palestinians.
Preliminary results for Afghanistan's presidential election appear to show Ashraf Ghani won in a landslide. But his defeated opponent is unlikely to accept the result.
Iraqi Kurdistan is moving ahead with independence plans. With Kurds also holding an important swing vote in Iraq's parliament, this is a problem. A big one.
Opium production and heroin addiction are soaring in Afghanistan.
Almost certainly not, as a look at recent writing on the question shows.
And if a small fortune spent over nearly 10 years, along with tens of thousands of American military trainers, didn't work, what can a few hundred advisers hope to do?
Israel holds most of the cards now and the killers are not yet known. But if the past is any indication, things are due to get a lot hotter in Israel and Palestine.
The wars in Iraq and Syria will rage on. But the declaration by ISIS, the biggest jihadi army fighting in Syria and Iraq, that it's now a 'caliphate' should accelerate the group's inevitable failure.
It's worth listening to those who've devoted their lives to studying war and the region.

November 8, 2012
Office of College Services Board Room
Richard Allison
Mary Frances Archey
Ben Blazer
Maryann Anderson, College Council Chair, called the meeting to order at 2:33 PM.
Steve Wells moved to approve the minutes of the October 11, 2012 meeting of College Council. Marianne Trale seconded the motion and the minutes were approved as presented.
Evelyn Kitchens-Stephens reported that the November 1st meeting was cancelled. At the next meeting, the Subcommittee will hear a proposal on remote placement testing.
Proposal: Directory Information (FERPA): add student mailing addresses and email addresses to CCAC's items included in directory information
Fran Dice presented the proposal which would allow the College to disseminate a limited amount of students' directory information to interested parties vetted by the College. Mrs. Dice referred to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 which was formerly known as the Buckley Amendment.
The College has always been very careful to protect grades and social security numbers of students, especially at this critical time when personal privacy is in danger of being violated. FERPA has been amended by the Federal government several times to keep it relevant with the current climate. FERPA has determined that there are some pieces of information that will always be protected, and some directory information that can be public.
Directory information is information that would not be damaging to students if it became public. Currently we do not disclose any names and addresses; however, we have received requests for this information. There are politicians who would like to send letters of congratulations to our graduates just as they do for graduates of the state universities. The University of Pittsburgh has asked for this same information so they might recruit our graduates.
As the proposal read, postal and email addresses could be shared at the discretion of the college. Barbara Thompson asked who that meant, who could exercise the discretion. As a result, the proposal was amended to specify that directory information can be shared "at the discretion of the Assistant Dean of Academic Management."
Mrs. Dice added that by federal law, the College must notify students of their right to privacy, therefore Mrs. Dice sends an email at the beginning of every semester to each student which allows them to opt out of any directory information being disclosed. Students must complete a form that can be found on the College website which flags the student's record in Datatel if they do not want directory information disclosed.
Barbara Thompson moved to accept the proposal as amended. Marianne Trale seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously.
Carl Francolino reported that the Subcommittee did not meet. Upcoming topics for the Subcommittee include an update of the College-wide assessment, the annual online learning review and an internship program for CIT students.
Proposal: Remove pre-requisite on GGY 202 - Historical Geology
Steve Dodin presented the proposal which would remove the prerequisites of GGY 201, Introduction to Geology and GGY 203, Physical Geology for GGY 202, Historical Geology.
When the course, GGY 202, Historical Geology was first proposed in the 1970's, those prerequisites were appropriate; however, the current textbooks cover that material so the prerequisites are no longer needed.
There was a correction made to page 5 of the proposal. Learning Outcomes 1 should read "geology" rather than "geography."
Carl Francolino moved to accept the proposal as amended. Donna Imhoff seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously.
Proposal: PSY 270 - Statistics for the Behavioral and Social Sciences
Anne Louise Dailey presented the proposal. Dr. Dailey explained that this course previously existed; however, when the College went to a single catalog, the Math Department took over all statistics courses and felt this course was not needed. Now, to be in compliance with the Pennsylvania Transfer and Articulation Agreement (TAOC), this course is necessary.
Donna Imhoff moved to accept the proposal. Steve Wells seconded the motion and the proposal passed unanimously.
Proposal: Multimedia Web Programming (104.2)
Mike Sullivan and Gretchen Mullin-Sawicki presented the proposal. The changes to the program came as a result of recommendations by the advisory council for the program. They also carefully considered recommendations from the Art Department so not to conflict with the graphic arts design program. Graphic arts creates the design for a website, whereas multimedia web programming puts the design onto the internet.
Dr. Mullin-Sawicki mentioned that there is an articulation agreement with Beatty Tech in which the College accepts three credits of their program into ours.
Vicki Rostis moved to accept the proposal. Carl Francolino seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously.
Proposal: Health & Physical Education (020.1) Proposal
Gretchen Mullin-Sawicki presented the proposal which was the result of recommendations from a 5-year program review. During the program review, they received feedback from the Education Department that Track D should be revised. The revision included deleting EDU 201 and PSY 201 from the curriculum and replacing them with general education and psychology electives. This will allow students to select their own direction and perhaps make the program more transferrable.
Elizabeth Claytor moved to accept the proposal. Audrey Rosenthal seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously.
Proposal: Maintenance Mechanics Technology (MMT) Proposal
Gretchen Mullin-Sawicki presented the proposal which deletes courses in the building maintenance program that have not been offered in seven years or more. The Building Maintenance Technology Program is no longer offered, and the Facilities Maintenance Technology program has taken its place.
The proposal also updates one course MMT 130, Job Safety and First Aid, which is offered. The Catalog Course Description, Learning Outcomes and Listed Topics have been revised.
The following corrections were made to the revision for MMT 130:
Page 5, change "cardio pulmonary" to "cardiopulmonary" in the Catalog Course Description and Listed Topics 6.
Learning Outcomes 2, change "affect" to "effect."
Evelyn Kitchens-Stephens moved to accept the proposal as amended. Marianne Trale seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously.
Proposal: Add THE 116, Physical Approaches to Acting 1 and THE 219, Physical Approaches to Acting 2
Ben Blazer presented the proposal for the course THE 116, Physical Approaches to Acting 1 and THE 219, Physical Approaches to Acting 2 which have been running successfully as experimental courses for 4 semesters.
Steve Wells moved to accept the proposal. Carl Francolino seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously.
Proposal: Addition of a new Transportation Security Administration Diploma (9 credits) and three new courses
Barry Noel presented the proposal which was developed out of requests from Global Corporate College (GCC), an entity that has been selected by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to roll-out this program nationally. The diploma program consists of three courses on Homeland Security, Intelligence Analysis and Security Management, and Transportation and Border Security. The curriculum was designed by the GCC. Currently there are 68 TSA employees who are interested in taking the courses which will be taught at the airport. Upon completion of the courses, students may transfer directly into the Homeland Security Program offered by the College, if they choose. The program will be offered in the Spring to TSA employees. After that, the courses will be offered on the campuses to determine if there is interest from the general public.
There were corrections noted on page 5 of the proposal. Item 2 should read in part "...recognizes the untapped potential in the Transportation Security Officers (TSO's) employed at U.S. airports. The TSA believes providing educational opportunities will improve their skill set on the job while helping the TSA meet its goals of improved customer service, skilled employees and employee advancement."
There were additional corrections in the supplement:
Number 2 should read in part, "role and mission of the Transportation Administration."
Number 3 should start, "Explain risk assessment..."
Number 3 becomes number 4.
Number 4 becomes number 5.
Number 5 becomes number 6.
Additional spacing will be removed between numbers 4 and 5 and numbers 5 and 6.
Rick Allison pointed out the difficulty students have getting financial aid for the phlebotomy program because the program is only nine credits. Mr. Allison asked if it was possible to expand the credit offerings for this program. Mr. Noel explained that the program is from Global Corporate College and cannot be altered. When the program moves to the campuses, perhaps it could be altered at that time.
Carl Francolino moved to accept the proposal as amended. Marianne Trale seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously.
Proposal: Program 043 Deletion
Allysen Todd presented the proposal which will eliminate the Math Program. This is a result of so few math major graduates. There were only four graduates between 2006 and 2011. A recent program review as well as a consideration of what would have to be done to the program as a result of the TAOC agreement prompted the math faculty to conclude that the program should be eliminated. Students will still be able to take math courses and then graduate with a math and science associate of science degree which will transfer to four-year institutions. All math courses can stand alone, and nothing would be affected.
The title of the proposal will be changed to "Math Associate Degree 043 Program Deletion." This will allow the program to be searchable.
Barbara Thompson moved to accept the proposal as amended. Audrey Rosenthal seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously.
Steve Wells reported that the Subcommittee did not meet. The next meeting will be November 15th at which time the Subcommittee will hear the Math Program Review and the Tourism Management Program Review. The Subcommittee will then meet in executive session to consider hiring recommendations.
There have been 52 hiring requests submitted by the campuses and the Subcommittee is authorized to recommend 10 positions. There were 22 full-time positions lost last year. Since the hiring agreement is not being followed by the College, the Subcommittee does not feel bound to follow the agreement either, therefore retirement positions will not necessarily be recommended to be filled. The open hearing will be December 6th.
There was no unfinished business
Revised Schedule for Program Reviews for 2012-2013
Maryann Anderson distributed the new schedule for program reviews for this academic year. The list has been reviewed and updated by the Academic Deans.
President's Council
Maryann Anderson reported that she attended the President's Council meeting on October 15th. The topics for discussions included the Math Cafés and preferred names to be used for students. There was a caution that test banks that may be used by faculty might not be secure. Human Resources presented the results of exit interviews with administrative staff. The leadership development group was surveyed, and their feedback indicated that communications could be increased. The intranet will be coming soon. The Foundation provided a report on the Imagine and Achieve campaign.
There being no further business, the meeting ended at 4:30 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Barbara Thompson
College Council Secretary
