MAPLETON, Ill. -- A machine shed is destroyed after a fire Saturday afternoon in Peoria County.
Shortly after 3:30 p.m., authorities were called to 12231 Lancaster Road in Mapleton where heavy fire was found in the front of the building. Firefighters believe no one was inside when the fire started.
No injuries were reported. The blaze was so large, fire officials called for help from other departments.
"We had previously activated a mutual aid box alarm system box, which brings in our neighboring departments with engines and tendors. We were able to have a good water supply filling up tendors from Lake Camelot and did a pretty good knock down on the fire," said Trivoli Fire Chief David Tuttle.
The building is deemed a total loss. No injuries were reported, and foul play is not suspected. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

John Autin at High Heat Stats has posted an interesting list of active MLB leaders in pitching categories that will change significantly with the retirement of Tim Wakefield. But what's most interesting is this note that ends the post, referring to Jamie Moyer and Roy Halladay's position on top of the active pitcher wins list:
If Moyer doesn't make it to Opening Day, Halladay's 188 wins will be the lowest active leading total since 1949, when Bob Feller began the year with 177 wins. No other season in modern history has begun with the active leader having fewer than 190 wins.
Baseball-reference.com's year-by-year leaderboard lists Bobo Newsom as the active leader in pitching wins in 1949 with 205. However, looking at Newsom's baseball-reference page, we see that he did not pitch in the major leagues at all in 1949, 1950 or 1951; he was a member of the Washington Senators' organization, but threw exclusively in the minor leagues those three seasons. He later pitched again in the majors in 1952 and 1953, so technically Newsom was "active" in 1949.
So Autin is correct; 1949 was the last season when the major leagues had an active leader who actually pitched in the majors that year, with fewer than 200 wins.
Of course, if Moyer makes the Rockies' roster, that all becomes moot, with Moyer's 267 career wins.

"We were disappointed with how we played at halftime but pleased to be ahead. They should have been in front really but we had hung in there. We gave up a lot of possession amd were still ahead so we took the positives from it and talked about what we needed to change.
"For the first 20 minutes of the second half we stepped up and took our opportunities. Gloucester are a very good team and they showed that today so this is an important win for us. We coughed the ball up too much in the last ten minutes and they showed what they can do.
"We know we have enough threats to win games even when we are down, and today we didn't play well over 80 minutes but that is the mark of a team that is growing. You have to stick in there when you are not playing well and we did that. We stuck together and got the points on the board when we got the opportunities.
"It was a good game of rugby with two teams who really wanted to play rugby the right way. We are still growing as a team. We have a long way to go but we are heading in a very positive direction."

The previous best for the Dolphins was six all-conference honors for five team members in 2010.
Sophomore center fielder Dan Gulbransen, who was a 2011 preseason A-Sun selection with Walker, also joins his fellow Wisconsin native on the conference first team list. Junior starting pitcher Steve Eagerton, junior shortstop Jimmy Howick and freshman reliever Chris Anderson garnered second team accolades while second baseman Taylor Ratliff, starting pitcher Tony Mollica and Anderson all were named to the freshman team.
"We are happy to see our guys receive these honors," said JU head coach Terry Alexander. "Each one of them is very deserving of these awards and will be a big part of us trying to earn another NCAA bid starting on Wednesday."
Walker, who becomes the first Dolphin to earn the conference "POY" award since Pete Clifford in 2007, currently leads the A-Sun with a .415 batting average and 22 doubles while also leading JU with 12 home runs, 90 hits, 70 RBI, 152 total bases, a .700 slugging percentage and a .492 on-base percentage. He has also been noticed on the national level by being named one of 60 players for the Golden Spikes Award by USA Baseball and as one of 36 semifinalists for the Dick Howser Trophy by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association of America (NCBWA).
Gulbransen, who earns first team honors for the second straight season, was the only field player to receive unanimous selection to the first team – joining ETSU reliever Bo Reeder as a unanimous selection by the A-Sun coaches. Gulbransen is currently second on the squad with a .362 batting average, 61 runs, 76 hits, 17 doubles, two triples, 115 total bases, a .548 slugging percentage and a .471on-base percentage.
Eagerton, who is enjoying a career season after suffering through elbow injuries in each of the last two seasons, earns his first all-conference selection after leading the A-Sun with an 8-0 record. In his first full season since 2008, he ranks second among JU starters with a 4.23 ERA and 72.1 innings pitched. He becomes the first Dolphin starter to go undefeated in the regular season since Matt Dobbins in 2006.
Howick, who is also garnering all-conference accolades for the first time, flourished in his first full season at shortstop after starting 47 games at third base in 2010. He currently ranks second on the squad with two triples, third with 46 RBI, fourth with eight doubles, 88 total bases and 10 multi-RBI games and is fifth with a .320 batting average.
Anderson, who was forced to move to the closer role after injuries plagued the pitching staff, proved one of the top closers in the conference by tying for third with 10 saves. He also was the workhorse of staff by ranking second in the conference with 32 appearances and 26 games finished. Anderson finished third on the JU staff with a 4-2 record while ranking second with a .229 opponent batting average.
Mollica was instantly inserted into the starting rotation as a true freshman and finished with a 3-3 record and a 4.64 ERA in 12 starts. He ranked third on the squad with 54.1 innings and 41 strikeouts while allowing only 40 hits. Mollica garnered all-conference honors after leading the A-Sun with a .211 opponent batting average.
Ratliff was played in several positions throughout the 2011 season but finally found a home at second base, starting 14 games during the year. The catalyst for the high-powered JU offense as a lead-off hitter, he ranked sixth in the A-Sun with 22 steals. Ratliff finished fourth on the squad with a .352 batting average, 54 runs, 64 hits, eight doubles and a .429 on-base percentage.

WHITEHOUSE, OH (Toledo News Now) – A local district is going back to voters in November. Anthony Wayne Schools is hoping to renew its $3 million levy in order to keep money in the district.
Because the district has not received new money since 2003, officials are hoping to renew that emergency levy. The district's treasurer says this money is vital, especially as revenue continues to decrease.
"We moved here because of the school district. We were looking for a house, and Anthony Wayne just super-impressed us," said Kathy Bethel, an Anthony Wayne Parent.
District officials say Anthony Wayne Schools have many reasons to brag.
"We've had 11 straight years of being rated excellent by Ohio Department of Education," said Kerri Johnson, Anthony Wayne Schools Treasurer.
Administrators say they have managed that while keeping taxes relatively low.
"We have the lowest cost per pupil of the Lucas County schools. We also have the lowest effective millage in Lucas County, which means the community members of the Anthony Wayne School District pay less tax dollars here than they would if they lived in a neighboring school district," said Johnson.
However, revenue is declining. The district lost $2.3 million in state federal aid last year. They expect to lose another million this year. Last year was the first time the district deficit spent in nearly a decade.
"We're projected to deficit spend again. It's not a pattern we want to get into right now," said Johnson.
The district has watched its money closely. For example, it did not replace eight retired teachers this year. It also uses a credit card to earn money back.
Johnson says the fixed sum levy is increasingly important. Fixed sum means the millage adjusts to get to the $3 million amount.
"It's all about maintaining the tradition of excellence," said Johnson.
The district wants to renew the levy for 10 years. Bethel thinks it has enough support.
"Sometimes they're hesitant, but the community seems so very supportive of the school. It's always done really good things," said Bethel.
Anthony Wayne covers Whitehouse, Waterville, Monclova Township and portions of Wood and Fulton counties.

POCATELLO, Idaho (AP) -- Chelsea Pickering and Ashleigh Vella scored 12 points each as Idaho State fought through shooting struggles to beat Northern Colorado 49-46 in the Big Sky Conference championship game on Saturday.
Idaho State (24-7) earned an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament and won the Big Sky tournament for the third time, first since 2007.
Victoria Timm led Northern Colorado (20-11) with 18 points, but Idaho State managed to hold standout Bears guard D'shara Strange to six points on 2-of-15 shooting.
Vella made a layup with 2:00 left to give the Bengals a 45-43 lead. Neither team scored again until Pickering hit a couple of free throws with 21 seconds left to put Idaho State up by four.
Timm's 3-pointer for the Bears with 13 seconds left cut the lead to one, but Kaela Oakes got free for a layup to seal the win for Idaho State.

A descendant of fishermen and boat captains who have called the area's coastal waters home for more than a century, Captain Arch regales visitors with nautical stories while showing off his fleet of rental boats. Watercraft ranges from electric Duffy boats to sailboats, which allows the captain to equip renters for adventures such as fishing, waterskiing, or leisurely scenic floats. Beyond rentals, Arch's crew arranges guided trips, including visits to Blake Island, or beverage and appetizer cruises fortified with local wines, smoked salmon, and waiters imported from France.
Surrounded by the serene, forested environs of Pleasant Harbor, House Boats for Two's fleet of vessels cushions couples with ample amenities. Each houseboat contains a small kitchen, fireplace, and full entertainment center with TV and stereo among rustic hardwood furnishings. Full-size hot tubs massage bodies with 28 streams of heated water. Covered decks affixed to each watercraft reveal views of the lush setting and any airborne cannonballs.
A web of docks connects the cozy boats to a heated pool and a small grocery store and deli that sells snacks and fresh-baked pizza. A quick drive or sleepwalk brings guests to nearby attractions, including multiple state parks rife with hiking trails and waterfalls.
Depending on when you arrive at Old Town Bistro, you may think you've reached two completely different venues. During the week, chef David Ortiz and his staff serve up steaks, salads, and pastas. Prizing eclecticism over any particular type of cuisine, house specialties include fish and chips platters with house-cut fries and barbecue sandwiches loaded with pork shoulder that's been smoked for 24 hours.
On the weekend, the eatery transforms into a dance club with a thundering 10,000-watt sound system. Local DJs test the limits of eight house subwoofers, spinning tracks synched to videos on 10 flat screens. The sprawling dance floor keeps dancers in motion beneath a colorful swirl of disco lights as opposed to a colander taped on a spotlight
At The Dance Within, teaching the steps for belly dancing, hula, Bollywood, and burlesque isn't enough. The instructors also want to teach students about the culture surrounding the dance. The studio features a salon where you can get a henna tattoo, and a boutique shop where you can find dance garb such as burlesque bustiers, Bollywood disc earrings, and jerseys of popular ballet dancers.

All children at one time or another will misbehave. Misbehavior occurs everyday inside and outside of classroom but the biggest question is why do our students misbehave? There are many different reasons as to why children misbehave and it is important that as educators we understand these reasons and know how to prevent them. Sheila Milnes once stated, "If you learn why your children misbehave, it will give you new ways to try to prevent problem behaviors" (Milnes, 2004).
Children misbehave for various reasons. Due to many behavioral disorders, because of their lack of attention or love at home, boredom, confusion about their school work, lack of confidence, bad home life, low self esteem, need for independence, lack of social skills, lack of guidance and psychological problems or disorders.
Children are often seeking any type of attention they can receive. Children
need to feel loved and thrive when they know that there are people who care about them.
When they do not receive the attention that all children need to receive, they tend to
act out and misbehave. "Children need to feel that they belong to you, to
the family, to the class at school, to a group of friends. They may misbehave to gain
membership or to find out if they will still be accepted. Thus, it is important to let
children know you love them and that they are still part of the family, even when they
behave badly." (Richardson, Oklahoma State University) When children do not receive
the love and nurture that all children must receive they will do whatever they can
possibly do to receive that attention.
It is important for children to be captivated by their lessons and their work. If they are uninterested they will look for something that will interest them. For example, start talking with a classmate, get up and walk around, use the bathroom, tap their pen or pencil, which in turn will cause a distraction to the teacher and the classroom.
Educators must be aware that all children are different. Children will always misbehave mo matter the age, race, or gender. It is important that educators are knowledgeable about their students and communicate with the parents. It is also important to have the support of parents, community, and from the school. Children must be nurtured. It is extremely important that children understand their expectations. Take the time to explain all expectations. The top two reasons why children misbehave is due to their boredom and lack of attention.
Milnes, Sheila (1994,10). Why Do Children Misbehave. Retrieved December 22, 2008, Web site: http://betterkidcare.psu.edu/ParentsCount/pc21Oct2004.pdf
Richardson, Deborah Why Children Misbehave. Retrieved April 5, 2009, Web site: http://pods.dasnr.okstate.edu/docushare/dsweb/Get/Document-2410/T-2325web.pdf
It is very important to try and understand why children misbehave. We must always be in tune to children's feelings and interest level in the classroom, home life, or any behavioral and psychological problems they may have and may lead them to misbehave. This is not an easy task. Educators are often too busy, have no patience or interest in why the children are misbehaving. They often just want the behavior to stop and punish without further investigation. This leads to further misbehavior in the future. If we, as educators, take the time to investigate the cause of children's misbehavior, we will save ourselves a lot of time and frustration in the future and genuinely help these children succeed.

by ABC6 Chief Political Reporter Mark Curtis
The Rhode Island military community is bracing for a budget D–Day.
On Friday, automatic federal spending cuts go into effect that target the defense industry more than any other.
While some employees could lose their jobs, most will face unpaid furloughs, perhaps up to 20 percent of the year.
Molly Donohue Magee, Executive Director of SENEDIA (Southeastern New England Defense Industry Alliance), said, "It's not a budget plan. It's arbitrary across the board cuts that could be damaging as disruptive. If we as business leaders managed out business that way, we'd be out of business. "
Between military jobs, and defense related contractors, it's estimated that Rhode Island has 12 thousand employees directly linked to national defense.
Magee said, "The have an economic impact on Rhode Island of $1.75 billion dollars."
ABC6 Chief Political Reporter said, "But it's not just the defense employees and the contractors. There are dozens and dozens of small businesses up and down Aquidneck Island that depend on that military income for their livelihoods."
At Jim's Pizza and Deli in Middletown, they were busy serving lunch.
Many of the customers that spend money here work in defense related jobs.
Aquidneck Island resident Tom Flynn said, "Well with a 20 percent cut to the employees and eventually the contractors being laid off, it's going to have a ripple effect. It's going to take funding away from little mom and pop places like this like Jim's Deli."
Aside from the impact on Aquidneck Island there are also concerns there could be layoffs at Electric Boat at Quonset Point in North Kingstown.

Leaving Stanford - Sun Changes Nasdaq Symbol
Sun Microsystems is changing its stock exchange ticker symbol from SUNW to Java. The new NASDAQ ID will be introduced August 27.
The abbreviation SUNW stands for "Stanford University Network Workstation" and has been the stock exchange symbol for the company's shares since it went public in 1986. Two of the three founders, Scott McNealy and Vinod Khosla, were students at Stanford University. In the meantime, many of Sun's products and projects revolve around the object-oriented Java programming language. Java has been a registered trademark of Sun Microsystems since 1995. "But SUNW represents the past, and it's not without a nostalgic nod that we've decided to look ahead." says Sun's CEO and President Jonathan Schwarz talking about the decision in his Blog. Thanks to the Internet, Java is now better known than the company name, Sun Microsystems, he says.
Schwartz thus views this as critical to the company's marketing strategy. In his opinion, the popularity of the business today is mainly due to its brands StarOffice, the Open Source variant OpenOffice, and the Java Internet technology. "This isn't about changing the company name" he makes clear, going on to add that "we are no longer simply a workstation company, nor a company whose products can be limited by one category - and Java does a better job of capturing exactly that sentiment than any other four letter symbol."
In the same context, Schwartz referred to cooperation with Google, which was announced just a few days ago.

West Virginia University's combined varsity athletic teams have an Academic Progress Rate (APR) score of 975 according to data released today by the NCAA.
The APR is based upon eligibility and retention of student-athletes over a four-year period. The NCAA uses the APR as an assessment of real-time academic success.
WVU's average APR score of 975 is up one point from last year's average, up seven points from 2010, up 11 points from 2009 and up 19 points from 2008. WVU's score of 975 is higher than the NCAA's overall four-year APR average score of 973.
For the 2010-11 academic year, West Virginia had three teams with perfect 1,000 scores: gymnastics, rowing and men's soccer.
Any student-athlete receiving athletic aid in a varsity sport can earn up to four points per year for being academically eligible and remaining enrolled in the institution. A team's APR is the total points earned on the roster divided by that squad's total possible points, multiplied by 1,000.
Teams must achieve a 900 multiyear APR or a 930 average over the most recent two years to avoid immediate penalties (involving the possible reduction of practice time and access to postseason competition). The current four-year APR scores for WVU's varsity teams (2007-08 to 2010-11): baseball 946; men's basketball 979; women's basketball 981; cross country 996; football 953; gymnastics 995; rifle 992; rowing 971; men's soccer 989; women's soccer 991; men's swimming 960; women's swimming 973; tennis 978; indoor track 989; outdoor track 989; volleyball 973; and wrestling 928.
"I am pleased that our average score continues to climb each year and certainly thrilled that our average score ranks higher than the national average," says Director of Athletics Oliver Luck. "I want to congratulate the gymnastics, rowing and men's soccer teams for their perfect scores in 2010-11. Overall, our teams continue to make good academic progress, and our 975 APR score is strong."
All 17 teams exceeded the 900 four-year score, and no WVU team will receive APR academic penalties from the NCAA.

A concerned citizen contacted '3 on Your Side' about an abandoned dog in southwest Jackson. The animal has been chained to a mobile home at a trailer park for months, and folks there have giving the dog food and water to keep it alive.
Buddy is a friendly, affectionate collie mix dog.
Twenty-eight-year-old year old Stacy Thurman emailed us about Buddy.
"I cry about it. I feed it every day and come back every night," said Thurman. "I come over here and make sure it is still there."
There is a notice on the door of the abandoned trailer, where buddy's owner lived, saying that if something isn't done with the dog in 24 hours, it will be picked up by the Jackson dog pound, and a citation will be issued to the owner. It was dated November 27th.
Buddy's story does have a happy ending. He wound up at Community Animal Rescue and Adoption, or CARA Unfortunately he is the last dog they can adopt this year. They are full.

Loved ones of a missing Hamilton man are still searching for
answers exactly two years later.
On February 7, 2011, Billy DiSilvestro went missing at the age of 28. He was last seen at a friend's house on Ross Avenue in Hamilton.
His mother, Debbie Estes, has made it her full-time job to search for him by wearing shirts with her son's face on them, putting up fliers and billboards, conducting searches and more.
However, there are still no leads in the case.
Estes said Billy had a history of seizures, and his health problem was magnified when he drank alcohol.
A $5,000 reward is still being offered to anyone who has any information on
Billy DiSilvestro's disappearance by calling
CrimeStoppers at (513) 352-3040.

Bismarck police have arrested a Wing man accused of robbing a man with a toy gun.
22-year-old Christopher Garrison is charged with Robbery and Possession of Stolen Property.
Police say Garrison approached a 43-year-old man early Wednesday morning outside of the south Wal-Mart.
The suspect said he had a gun, showed it to the man and told him to hand over his wallet, which he did.
Officers say they caught up with the suspect minutes later at a nearby gas station.
They found the toy gun and stolen credit cards in a Subaru that had previously been reported stolen in Burleigh County.

This richly illustrated book documents Indian-Thai Artist Navin Rawanchaikul's solo and collaborative projects he completed between 1993 to 1999. The publication contains texts, photographs, correspondence, video stills, drawings, comic strips and inserted objects: a postcard, a piece of cloth, a post-it paper with the question "what is art?" in the artist's handwriting and a comic book published on the occasion of the Sydney Biennale in 1998.
I'm so honoured to have spent the week attending the Indigenous Acts: Art and Activism Gathering hosted by Dylan Robinson and Candice Hopkins! The Gathering was made up of Round Table Discussions, Sharing Circles, Site Visits, Provocation Discussions and A LOT of delicious meals!
Conversations were held around notions of land, public ceremony, contemporary Indigenous space and how artists are working towards reclaiming traditional space and places. Tania Willard, Raymond Boisjoly, Lorna Brown, Raven Chacon, Mimi Gellman, Duane Linklater, Joar Nango, Peter Morin and Karyn Recollet were some of the participants present for this inspiring and motivating gathering.
All present engaged in critical dialogue to discuss different ways to map space and time, ways to work with protocol and permissions, ways to critically look at borders and the various roles that language plays in these examinations. Re-occurring themes around embodiment, place, space, architecture, sound and identity flowed in and out of the discussions and helped make relations and connects between artists working in different mediums.
On August 5th we shared a dinner at the Burrard Civic Marina Field House. Over the course of the evening the participants wrote quotes, ideas and other kinds of messages to be projected onto the Burrard Bridge. It turned out really well, and generated a lot of laughs! After that we participated in making a light tipi with Cheryl L'Hirondelle. She gave us Sage smodging bundles and a flashlight and guided our bodies to create the structure. The wind played a part in this process as well- sometimes making the structure stronger, and other times blowing our smoke away.
I'm excited to have been able to sit, listen, talk, laugh and share food with those present at this gathering and am eager to see what they will work on next! Chi Meegwetch to all of you for sharing your talent and work with us over the past few days!

Burrard Marina Field House Artist in Residence, Brendan Fernandes and Vancouver-based choreographer Justine Chambers led a workshop for the Summer intensive program this week that explored collaboration, conceptualization and authorship. Brendan and Justine are very generous instructors and really encouraged the participants to express themselves through an embodied practice and collaboration.
Justine and Brendan led exercises that brought the participants and their interests together through embodied practice. The participants were asked to write a performance choreography score in five minutes that would have a five minute performance time. After writing their pieces, they put them in the middle and everyone chose someone else's choreography to perform. We saw people working with their bodies, with the spectators bodies, with the room, with chairs, with shoes… with whatever was in sight! Through this work the participants learned how to conceptualize, create and rehearse a full piece. The group will create their own performance at the end of this program so this work was a great start in helping them learn to share, create and perform ideas.

As the new Development Assistant for the Contemporary Art Gallery's 26th Annual Gala & Auction, I am so excited to be a part of the CAG's team and to connect with the CAG's surrounding community.
My name is Olivia de Fleuriot de la Coliniere – I usually shorten my last name to de Fleuriot to avoid confusion or bewilderment. I was born in Durban, South Africa and moved to Toronto with my family when I was five years old. I grew up amongst creativity and colour, which encourages me to pursue my passion to create and study fine art. I recently completed my Bachelor of Art degree, majoring in Art + Design, at Trinity Western University and will be continuing this upcoming academic year as an Honours student. I aspire to pursue a career in a gallery setting and educational environment, as well as my own artistic practice.
The team here, at the CAG, has been welcoming and supportive. I work directly with Sue Lavitt, Head of Development and Communication, and also other staff and volunteers at the Contemporary Art Gallery.
It has been an exciting adventure corresponding, researching, and writing about the various artists being presented at the gala fundraiser this year. I can't wait for you to experience the fantastic night and participate by supporting both the artists and the CAG in their role locally, nationally, and internationally. It is very tempting to blurt out the broad display of talent being presented this year, but I shall keep you in suspense a bit longer!
I am quite happy to say that my experience here at the Contemporary Art Gallery does not end this August. Before my current position, I volunteered and assisted Shaun Dacey, the Curator of Learning and Public Programs, with research and educational practices. From this experience I will be co leading the Family Day events that take place the last Saturday of every month. It would be great to see you at a Family Day event or at the Annual Gala & Auction this fall!
There will be more blogs coming up to give you a taste of this year's Gala & Auction in retrospective of a 25 year history.

As I mentioned in my National Aboriginal Day post I headed down to the Trout Lake Community Center to experience and participate in the fun! It was a beautiful sunny Saturday where everyone was enjoying the weather, the food, the company and the performances!
We attended the performance of Songs for Reconciliation,a part of William Hiłamas Edward Wasden Jr's residency with The Vancouver Park Board. Wasden Jr brought Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples together to learn, share and perform Kwakwa̱ka̱'wakw cultural stories, songs and dances. The project focused on revisiting cultural histories and knowledges that emphasize the importance of creating and maintaining loving relationships within families and especially towards children. William shares cultural knowledges and histories so that the participants and the audience can reflect on the many cultural elements that have been suppressed due to the residential school systems.
We heard songs for young boys learning to hunt, songs for infant and toddlers, and one called the duck song. The audience was encouraged to participate and sometimes the dancers would take you by the hand to get up and dance with them!
Another part of the project allowed for the participants to make their own regalia. Each piece was handmade, generally in black or red and had an animal on the back.
This collaborative residency allowed for Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities to learn, remember, and share in Kwakwa̱ka̱'wakw cultural knowledges and stories. As an Anishnaabe person I was honoured to be there, and to have shared in the performance of this work!
Meegwetch (Thank you) William for initiating this project and for sharing your stories, songs and dances with us!MORE
New guided visits | Nouvelles visites guidées
Did you know that there is a free guided visit at the CAG almost every week during an exhibition? | Savez-vous qu'il y a une visite guidée chez la galerie d'art contemporain presque chaque semaine au cours d'une exhibition? (lisez ce poste en français).
The CAG team has worked very hard to ensure that guided tours are scheduled regularly throughout the course of our exhibitions, and that dedication has given recently given birth to a new series of tours starting this month: multi-language guided visits. For the first time ever, our guided visits are now offered in Mandarin and Spanish!
I have been proud to present our guided visits in French for the past 3 exhibitions, taking over from artist Patricia Huijnen following her return to Switzerland last year. It's been a real pleasure for me, as I love the French language and often lament that I do not have the chance to speak it as much as I would like. I also love talking about art, and the opportunity to do so at the Contemporary Art Gallery is both challenging and satisfying. Contemporary art can be difficult to understand at first glance, and bringing context, new ideas, and new ways of thinking to visitors has been, for me, an incredibly rewarding privilege.
When I was in school, it was always a struggle to fully appreciated fine-arts field trips when the exhibitions weren't being presented in the language in which we were being instructed. My teachers would be diligently providing us with French vocabulary and tools with which to engage with the art, but when it was time to visit a gallery, museum or event, it was often jarring to listen to tours in English. There was something really special about the tours that were offered in French.
When Shaun Dacey, our new Curator of Learning and Public Programs, joined the CAG team in April, I wrote to him to tell him about how much I loved working in French at the CAG. Imagine my delight, when he not only echoed my enthusiasm, but informed me that he was already working to add additional language tours to the schedule.
I attended the Mandarin tour, hosted by artist Tommy Ting, on Saturday the 18th, and was delighted to see the engagement in our visitor's faces while they discussed and engaged with the work in their own language. While I was unable to make the following week's tour, hosted by photographer Avelina Crespo, I have been told it was well attended and equally well received. Both Tommy and Avelina have agreed to join us again later this summer to again present Mandarin and Spanish language tours at our upcoming exhibition.
I am truly proud to be part of the team providing multi-language tours at the CAG. I invite you to join me on June 1st at 3PM for my guided visit, in French, of the Nancy Holt/Erin Shirreff exhibition currently on display at the CAG.

L'équipe à la galerie a beaucoup travaillé pour s'assurer que les visites guidées sont programmées régulièrement tout au long de nos expositions, et ce dévouement a donné récemment naissance à une nouvelle série de visites ce mois-ci: des visites guidées multilingues! Pour la première fois, nos visites guidées sont maintenant offerts en mandarin et en espagnol!
Je suis fière d'avoir organisée nos visites guidées en français pour les dernières 3 expositions, succédant à l'artiste Patricia Huijnen après son retour en Suisse l'année dernière. Cela a été un réel plaisir pour moi, comme je suis amoureuse de la langue française et se plaignent souvent que je n'ai pas la chance de parler (ou d'écrire) en français autant que je le voudrais. J'aime aussi parler de l'art, et l'opportunité de le faire à la galerie d'art contemporain est à la fois stimulante et satisfaisante. L'art contemporain peut être difficile à comprendre au premier vu, et apportant le contexte, des nouvelles idées, et de nouvelles façons de penser à nos visiteurs est, pour moi, un privilège extrêmement enrichissante.
Mon français est devenu assez rouiller après avoir pas eu la chance de l'utiliser quotidiennement, mais j'espère que mon passion pour l'art et pour la langue le compense.
Quand j'étais à l'école, c'était toujours difficile d'apprécier des excursions beaux-arts lorsque les expositions n'ont pas été présentées dans la langue dans laquelle nous étions instruits. Nos enseignants seraient diligents en nous fournir le vocabulaire et des outils pour s'engager avec l'art, mais quand il était temps de visiter une galerie, une musée ou un événement, il était souvent choquant à entendre des visites guidées en anglais. Il y avait quelque chose de vraiment spécial dans les visites qui ont été offerts en français; c'était peut-être simplement parce qu'ils étaient si rares, mais peut-être c'était également comment facile c'était à comprendre et à apprécier ces œuvres.
Quand Shaun Dacey, notre nouveau curateur de l'apprentissage et des programmes publiques, a rejoint l'équipe CAG en Avril, je lui ai écrit pour lui dire combien j'adore travailler en français au CAG. Imaginez ma joie, quand il a non seulement fait écho à mon enthousiasme, mais m'a informé qu'il travaillait déjà à ajouter d'autres visites en plusieurs langues à l'horaire.
J'ai participé à la première visite guidée en mandarine, organisée par l'artiste Tommy Ting, et j'ai été ravi de voir l'engagement dans les visages de nos visiteurs pendant qu'ils ont eu la chance de discuter et de s'engager avec le travail dans leur propre langue. Tandis que je n'ai pas pu participer à la visite guidée en espagnol la semaine suivante, organisée par le photographe Avelina Crespo, on m'a dit qu'il a été bien fréquenté et tout aussi bien accueilli. Tommy et Avelina ont accepté de nous rejoindre cet été pour présenter à nouveau des visites en mandarin et en espagnol à propos de notre prochaine exposition.
Je suis vraiment fière de faire partie de l'équipe offrant des visites multilingues à la CAG. Je vous invite à me rejoindre le 1er Juin à 15 heures pour ma visite guidée, en français, de l'exposition Nancy Holt / Erin Shirreff présentement exposée au CAG.

CAG Volunteer Dan Potter writes about his experience participating in Scarcity Radio Vancouver a project developed with artist Sarah Browne. CAG volunteers and teens from the IGNITE! Mentorship Program at the Cultch, Vancouver, worked alongside a group from VIVO Media Arts Centre, Vancouver as well as with individuals from Slow Boat at Ikon Gallery, UK producing a series of sound-works for broadcast on the Scarcity Radio internet channel www.scarcityradio.org/radio.
This unique project included sound artists, economists, geographers and others exploring the notion of scarity and produced a series of experiences that ask questions about the world around us. Dan Potter writes:
When I was first invited to be a part of the Scarcity Radio project I asked myself what are elements in my day to day life that are scarce? Although I came up with a few answers to this question I found it difficult to pin point any necessities I wouldn't be able to track down and implement. Over the course of a few condensed meetings we as a group explored these concerns with various artistic and social economic practitioners.
For me, our first meeting with artist Sarah Browne provided the most guidance as we talked from many angles on what scarcity is and how this concept could be applied to a radio art project. One of the points made that I found interesting was this idea of scarcity can only exist within a value system that governs quantity. So what is scarce really depends on our perceived notion of what is desired or at least what we consider a necessity of a comfortable life. This concept fits in with the exhibit How to Use Fool's Gold where Sarah Browne gets us as viewers to examine our economic value system in order to see it isn't an absolute power but is built and evolves according to what we put emphasis on in regards to our shared values of wealth and prosperity.
Pretty soon we all started making audio recordings of various events with the purpose of editing them into sound pieces that would be eventually broadcast on a pirate radio station operating out of the UK. This idea of using the AM/FM band as part of public display influenced my decision on what to record. In a world full of iPods and Wi-Fi connected audio streams the word RADIO immediately brings to mind certain social phenomenon in our society that are slowly going extinct and being replaced by a new normality.
Consequently, I decided to make recordings of myself and my family sitting at the dinner table having a conversion whilst eating our evening meal. I took the mundane discussions on where the food was bought and the hysterical slightly drunk laughter and manipulated snippets of them to create a sound piece that would move in and out of reality. Some chewing sounds were looped together to create a rhythmic pattern of excessive gobbling noises and cavernous reverb effects were applied to the end points of dialogue in order to initiate a sense of disappearance.
I wanted to hit upon the scarcity of family relations especially that of a nuclear family and the luxury of easy availability of food in western society. When all was said and done it turned out to be a quick project with not a lot of time to over think which happily kept things spontaneous and unexpected. I also enjoyed hearing what other artist participates had recorded as there was a great diversity of sounds and approaches that when played together will definitely spook any unsuspecting radio listeners over in the UK.
Dan Potter

On Monday, Hamilton County commissioners approved the 2013 budget by a vote of 2-1.
The budget will fill a $14.4 million deficit, but that means county departments across the board will need to make cuts, and 150 people could lose their jobs.
While republicans Greg Hartmann and Chris Monzel voted for it, Democratic commissioner Todd Portune disagreed.
In our commitment to balanced news, here is reaction from both sides.
"We're making tough decisions," Hartmann said. "This is not an easy budget, but I think that the public expects that. Times are not easy for anyone."
"I know President Hartmann wanted a unanimous budget, but I could not in good conscious provide that unanimity when I think there are important things that are missing," Portune added.
"This kind of thing is just crazy," Hamilton County Auditor Dusty Rhodes said. "When you cut your basic services to the degree they have, you're just asking for trouble."
Rhodes is among many department heads that must now figure out how and where to cut back.
"There probably will be cuts," said Mark Waters, administrator at the Clerk of Courts. "We're hoping to do it in a way that doesn't affect the service that is provided to the public, but it may happen."
"It's irresponsible for county commissioners to cut statutory duties and the staff that performs those duties that we're required to do by law and continue to spend money, waste money if you will, on economic development," Rhodes added.
The Clerk of Courts department suffered a 16% cut back, much higher than the average 7% across the county.
"We're trying to work within the number that the commissioners have given us," Waters said. "It's going to be very difficult."
Both the auditor's office and the Clerk of Courts are hoping to be able to make cuts without laying off staff, but a large section of each budget is dedicated to wages.
The Hamilton County Sheriff's Department will not face cuts.
Commissioners have until December 6th to decide how they will pay for both Paul Brown Stadium and Great American Ball Park in 2013, with a projected $22 million deficit for next year.
The County Administrator recommended on Monday that Hamilton County take back all of the property tax rollback promised in 1996, when voters passed a sales tax increase to fund the stadiums.
In the last five years, commissioners have chopped $65 million from the budget.

and professional careers in teaching, politics, international business, and public
The International Studies major consists of five core courses and seven courses within
one of two concentrations. The concentrations include Culture & Society and
International Relations. The International Relations concentration allows an emphasis
in Political Science or Economics/Business. The Culture & Society concentration
allows emphasis in area studies. Some courses in this program may be counted as
part of the collegiate requirements.
A minor in international studies is also offered. This minor is organized under
the assumption that there is a core to the study of international studies that transcends
work in a particular geographic area. Thus, this minor emphasizes core courses with
in theory and methodology, rather than geographic area courses. As such, a minor
in international studies does not have a concentration in a specific geographic

BEAUFORT, N.C., June 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Raleigh-based development company DeWitt Carolinas, Inc. announces its latest real estate development acquisition, the North River Club in Beaufort, North Carolina. The company purchased the 275-acre, 18-hole golf course and has been working diligently to ready an additional 316 acres of land for future lot development.
DeWitt Carolinas, Inc. is owned by lifelong friends, Todd Saieed and Ven Poole. Todd Saieed, CEO, said, "We are pleased to be a part of the Beaufort community and look forward to the ongoing development of North River. We have a well-organized team of professionals that aspire to make this community and golf course a development that the town and the residents of Beaufort, as well as its visitors, are proud of."
The development is currently zoned as an approved planned unit development (PUD) and residential R-5. Current PUD approval allows for more than 1,500 residential lots. This includes 316 acres for residential development, 43 acres for road and infrastructure, 250 acres for the golf course and 20 acres for commercial development. There are currently 57 lots available for immediate construction.
Last June, efforts to revitalize the golf course kicked off with the purchase of new maintenance equipment and golf carts. Jonathan Birkett, superintendent since 2007, will continue his mission to make the course a preferred destination for golfers.
Joe Kreuser has joined North River as the Head Golf Professional. "This golf course has the potential to become the premiere golfing destination for Eastern North Carolina," said Kreuser. "I'm excited to be on board and to have the opportunity to share my love for the game with this community."
Immediate plans to construct a 6,000-square-foot clubhouse facility are underway. The clubhouse will consist of men's and women's locker rooms, a dining facility with bar, a meeting room for local gatherings and social functions, and a golf pro shop. Construction is anticipated to be complete by the end of 2014.
Additional amenities forecasted for the community include a commercial-sized pool, cabana house, and the installation of restrooms on the golf course. The pool and cabana house will be ready for residents and members to enjoy in spring of 2015.
Design engineers have been busy working with development to make plans for future lot sales and for the development of new home construction. Town Manager, Charlie Burgess said, "we are pleased to have the opportunity to work with DeWitt Carolinas, Inc. on the North River Club development. The Town is excited in offering our assistance to the new owners in helping to facilitate the success of the development of the North River Club community."
New home sales will begin at $200,000 and go up depending on the location. Accessibility to this community will be enhanced with the construction of a new highway 70 bypass around Beaufort.
As platinum sponsors of The Big Rock and strong supporters of the local communities, North River will be inviting all tournament participants to come to the course to receive a two-for-one greens fee and cart rental during the 2014 tournament.

ANDERSON — A local man was convicted on cocaine possession charges, but avoided a much longer sentence after being found not guilty on dealing and habitual offender charges.
Marquise R. McCloud, 33, was found guilty of possession of cocaine, a Class A felony, after a two-day trial wrapped up on Wednesday. He was found not guilty of an additional charge of dealing cocaine, and Madison Circuit Court 4 Judge David Happe ruled McCloud was not eligible for an enhanced status of being a habitual offender.
According to a probable cause affidavit of the case, McCloud was found with more than three grams of crack cocaine in the 2400 block of West 24th Street on Feb. 25. Two officers, who were searching the neighborhood for another man wanted on a warrant, drove by a home in the area and saw McCloud and two other men in a driveway.
When the officers approached McCloud, he reportedly started digging through his pockets feverishly, as if he were trying to get something out. One of the officers, who had just arrested McCloud four days before on another drug charge, believed McCloud was reaching for a weapon and started shouting for McCloud to raise his hands.
McCloud allegedly refused and kept digging in his pockets, and the officers drew their weapons and continued to command McCloud to raise his hands. He finally complied, and the officers found keys, a wallet, a cellphone and a bag filled with the crack cocaine. According to the affidavit, McCloud told the officers he had stolen the drugs from someone else.
Defense attorney Zaki Ali, who represented McCloud in the case, said he was pleased with the verdict despite the conviction because the result wasn't as bad as it could've been.
"With the dealing charge, he was looking at a maximum of 50 years on that, and with the habitual charge, he was looking at upward of 70 years, if not more," Ali said. "He's still looking at prison time, but not nearly the amount that was on the line."

Review your Timeline and check if the Page has only Promotions and Sales talk all along. If so, you are probably not doing enough to get the attention of your Fans. You need to put your promotions out there and do your best to popularize them.
But to get your Fans' attention, you need to introduce some opportunities for light weight interactions. Talk about current events, share some jokes, greet them on occasions.
Queensbay's is a small Page with a
bout 78,879 Likes. Their engagement is not much though and they get only about 17-20 Likes per post, even if they are colourful pictures and albums. But when there was a post about a Friday promotion by Starbucks, there were 56 likes. Yeah, 56 isn't much but it is still three times the average!
The point is, if you post what is relevant to the fans (even if it is not your business objective), you create opportunities for several light weight interactions. Over time, this will translate into a long term relationship.
Try it to see if it works for you, and let us know!

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

The Carolina Panthers have embraced all of what Cam Newton can do. Now theyre waiting for the wins to start piling up, as they did last year when Newton led Auburn University to an undefeated season and the national championship.
Newton returns home today to face the Atlanta Falcons at the Georgia Dome -- not far from where he grew up in College Park, Ga., and later arrived on the national stage at Auburn.
When asked if hes been bombarded with ticket requests for his return home, Newton simply smiled and said, StubHub.
Newtons popularity has skyrocketed after an incredible first month of the season in which he was named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month for September.
In five games hes had a hand in 12 of the teams 13 touchdowns -- seven passing and five rushing -- and ignited an offense that only found the end zone 16 times all of 2010.
As Auburn discovered last season, the possibilities are limitless for the team that has Newton. The Panthers have installed a Wildcat formation with Newton at wide receiver and last week unveiled an option package with him pulling trigger.
The atmosphere should be electric in the Georgia Dome, where Newton led the Tigers to a victory in the SEC championship game last season.
But Newton downplayed the homecoming, saying he has more important things on his mind -- like winning.
Were real close, but close doesnt get you nowhere, Newton said, referring to the Panthers 1-4 start despite being in each game until the end. And thats probably the most disheartening thing, knowing how close we are to getting that win and putting us back on the map. Emotionally, I think we just need a win to hang our hat on, to say we beat this team.
The Falcons, a popular preseason Super Bowl pick that fell to 2-3 last week with a loss to the Packers, need a win, too.
The rookie quarterback who has taken the NFL by storm since his first game, not only put up record numbers passing, but also has been the Panthers primary weapon in the red zone. He has rushed for five of the teams six touchdowns, leaving him one shy of Chris Weinkes single-season franchise record.
