In common with other parts of the country museums and heritage organisations across Wiltshire are busy commemorating and exploring the legacy of the First World War.I thought I would use this post to update you on some of what is currently going on at museums.
Young Gallery, Salisbury - Cicatrixhttp://www.younggallerysalisbury.co.uk/event/cicatrix/
A visual arts project of three parts: installation, drawing and film. The audience is presented with another perspective of the WWI Legacy with Salisbury Plain providing the cornerstone for the collaboration exploring the notion that memory provides the fourth dimension to any landscape, Cicatrix offers a challenging alternative viewpoint to mark the centenary of The Great War.
Bradford on Avon Museumhttp://www.bradfordonavonmuseum.co.uk/archives/8671
Exhibition focused on the themes The Eve of War, The Front, The Home Front, and Twin Towns.
Calne Heritage Centre 1914-18 Memorial Project http://www.calneheritage.co.uk/exhibitions.php?extype=Current
A five year long project dedicated to the lives of the ancestors of Calne residents, past and present, who lived through WWI. People are being asked to produce posters that detail how their ancestors were affected by the war, which will be displayed and then become part of the Heritage Centre archive.
Wiltshire at War: Community Storieshttp://wiltshireatwar.org.uk/
As mentioned previously (http://www.wshc.eu/blog/item/wiltshire-at-war-community-stories.html?category_id=19) this county wide project is now picking up pace. Emma our Project Officer is busy working with groups across the county to gather up stories of the home front in Wiltshire, Please visit http://wiltshireatwar.org.uk/ for more information or if you have a story to share. For those of you with links to Market Lavington please come along to Market Lavington Museum on Weds 3rd September from 2.30-4.30 when there will be an opportunity to share and record your family stories of the war.
The Rifles Museum, Salisbury - A View of The Great Warhttp://www.thewardrobe.org.uk/museum/news-and-events/article/opening-of-the-exhibition-a-view-of-the-great-war
Artwork created by children from two local schools, Avon Valley College, Durrington and Bishop Wordsworth's School in Salisbury, as part of 'National Memory, Local Stories', working with the National Portrait Gallery.
Salisbury Museum - Fighting on the Home Front (Oct 4 2014-Jan 17 2015)
Salisbury Plain was at the heart of preparing British and Empire troops for war with its many camps, training trenches and airfields and has a unique place in this country's military history. Using letters, photographs, medals and other personal mementos loaned by the public, as well as loans from Wiltshire & Swindon History Centre and objects from the Museum's own collections, the exhibition will tell the story of Wiltshire's war through Wiltshire people's experiences.

One of our latest jobs has been at the mill, Heytesbury, a gorgeous location with a clear mill-pond which the locals have traditionally used to cool down on a hot day. This mellow jumble of different brick and stone ranges, and varied roof-lines represents a site continually occupied from at least the early 17th century, and probably earlier. By the mid-C17 Heytesbury was owned by the a'Court family from Ivychurch near Salisbury. They continued to own much property here until the 1920s. During research into the family, an interesting case of poisoning came up.

Posted in Conservation
The Museum of East Asian Art in Bath currently has an exhibition showcasing some of their exquisite Chinese Metalwork and the conservation work carried out on the objects by conservators here at the Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre. The aim of the exhibition is to show that by carefully cleaning and looking after objects we can ensure they will be treasured for generations to come.
The objects on display are highly decorated often involving the use of, gold and silver or other coatings such as lacquer and enamelling. The presence of additional materials and decorative coatings makes the conservation of such objects more complex and so poses more of a challenge. Each of the treatments needs to be picked carefully to ensure the work carried out on one of the materials does not adversely affect any of the others.

My mission, if I chose to accept it, would be to attempt to read, understand and transcribe on to a computer, the documents contained in certain bundles of the Lacock Archives. I accepted.
On Tuesday 8th October 2013 I arrived at the Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre and was assigned Box 64 which contained 61 bundles of documents.
Reading my first few items was quite demanding but once I was familiar with the different way different people wrote I began to recognise words and sentences and gained a sense of what they were communicating.
Box 64 is a mixed box of items covering the period between the mid 1800s to the beginning of the 1900s – private letters between members of the Fox Talbot family, business letters, letters of community interest, architectural interest letters, photographic processes discussed and enquired about, bills, receipts, pamphlets and booklets and various advertising leaflets about medicinal items.

In June 1915, armed only with a bicycle, her wits and a burning journalistic ambition, a young woman named Dorothy Lawrence set out from England determined to reach the frontline of fighting in northern France.
"I'll see what an ordinary English girl, without credentials or money can accomplish. I'll see what I can manage as a war correspondent!"
Sleeping in ditches, haystacks and flea-bitten dugouts, Dorothy wheedled, charmed and hoodwinked her way past suspicious gendarmes and the unwanted attentions of frustrated soldiers, to spend ten days under heavy shelling in the French town of Albert shortly before the Battle of Loos.

For my Year 10 work experience I chose to come to the History Centre. It has been an insightful experience into what the Centre actually does. I was lucky enough to get to do some sub-numbering - it helps prevent documents becoming lost. I was sub numbering the Earls of Radnor archives – which are also done by volunteers. These documents vary in age from the 17th century to the 20th century.
I have been able to do some cataloguing – both online and offline. The documents that had to be catalogued were the agendas and minutes of the meetings of the local Wiltshire councils. I began by sorting the documents by place, and noting their dates in Microsoft Excel. Then we had to go into a strong room, and place the meeting records with all of the others. These files are now accessible to the public. However the files have only been catalogued in draft form.

By DON DARE Food for Thought Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - A local restaurant received one of the lowest health report grades of the year. Health inspectors check restaurants every six months and the inspections are unannounced. Apparently, the lowest scoring restaurant this week must have forgotten half a year had gone by since their last inspection. As a result, there are a number of critical violations.
Lowest Score:Oodles Uncorked, 18 Market Square - Grade: 58A score below 70 the health department considers unsanitary. Food temperatures were a big problem. Salami and turkey ready to be sliced were at 55 degrees. Chicken breasts were at 74 degrees. The meat and chicken should have been at 41 and below to slow the growth of bacteria. The food was thrown away. Without washing her hands, an employee was observed wiping her hands on a dirty apron as she continued to prepare salads. The inspector also watched other employees forget to wash their hands as they wipe them on dirty rags as they prepared food. Finally, the inspector found shrimp and chicken thawing together. The problem there is the potential for cross contamination. And other shrimp was found thawing in a sink at room temperature. Thawing takes place in the refrigerator.
Other low scores:
Subway, 3505 Sutherland Avenue - Grade: 69Here the inspector found no hot water or soap at one of the hand sinks.
The temperature of sliced turkey was not below 41 as required. A food slicer was dirty; it had not been sanitized and toxic chemicals were found next to utensils. The chemical was in the wrong place.
Reinspected scores:Wing Zone, 2121 Cumberland Avenue - Old Grade: 74, New Grade: 88Top scores:
Those restaurants with the lowest scores this week will be reinspected soon.

Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food: Statistics (Census and Prices) Division: Agricultural and Horticultural Census Datasets
The Agricultural and Horticultural Census is one of the main data gathering exercises for agriculture and horticulture in England and Wales. It is a survey of main agricultural holdings in both countries, covering about 99% of the total agricultural area, and is conducted annually on the first working day of June. It provides the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF) and the National Assembly for Wales with 'the basic physical statistics of farming: areas of land use and crops; numbers of main livestock types; and the numbers and kinds of person working on the farm summarised by parish. To 1994, the base data for the summaries was collected for all agricultural holdings. From 1995, only the larger holdings submitted annual returns, and smaller holdings were sampled on a three-yearly basis.
Broadly speaking, the 1989-1999 censuses covered the following areas:
- The extent and type of crops and fallow, land use and land tenure, and the size of holdings.
- The agricultural labour force: numbers and types of farmers, managers and workers (full-time and part-time, male and female).
- Livestock: numbers of cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, poultry and other types of farm animals (e.g. horses, farmed deer).
- Horticulture: extent of vegetables, bulbs, flowers and fruit grown in the open, orchards, nursery stock, glasshouses and covered structures, and glasshouse crops.
- Changes in the area of a holding (land given up or taken over), and changes in a farmer's name and address.
Most of the data collected by the 1989-1999 Agricultural and Horticultural Censuses related to the situation of farmers on the census date, the first weekday in June each year. The census was a snapshot of holdings at a time of prime activity rather than a picture of holdings over an entire year. Consequently, it was complemented by surveys taken at other times, although these were not as comprehensive in their coverage.
These datasets fall into three main sub-series:
(1) Parish Summaries, in which the data was aggregated by MAFF, before transfer, to the level of the agricultural parish (on agricultural parishes, see Counties and Parishes lookup tables, below). In each dataset, the data drawn from the census is held in a single table in which there are two types of field: those which record the total of the responses in the parish to a question asked in the census, and those which record the number of holdings which answered the question. While a correlation can be drawn between most of the census questions and the fields in the datasets, this is not always the case:
- Some questions which appear in the census forms do not have corresponding fields in the datasets, because the data was not held in MAFF's system, or because a statistical decision was taken not to use the data.
- Where the census form required respondents to provide an answer other than a numeric figure (e.g.'Yes/No'), MAFF has not been able to aggregate the data in a meaningful way. For example, question 135 in the 1989 census asked respondents to answer 'Yes' or 'No' to the question 'Do you intend to keep any turkeys on your holding in the next 12 months'. Rather than there being separate fields for the numbers in each parish answering 'Yes', 'No', or not responding, the values representing 'Yes' and 'No' have been summed within a single field to produce a single numeric total (i.e. fields like this have been aggregated in the same way as fields relating to questions where farmers are asked to provide a numeric figure). Some of the fields which are affected by this problem have been excluded by MAFF from the datasets transferred.
(2) Counties and Parishes lookup tables. The Parish Summaries datasets include codes for agricultural parishes, in which the first one or two digits identify the county, and the remaining digits identify the MAFF/Welsh Office 'parish'. In England, MAFF's 'parishes' generally correspond to the lowest level of local authority, which typically is a parish council, although it may also be a larger administrative area where there are no parishes. The 'parishes' used by the Statistical Directorate of the National Assembly for Wales (and its predecessors in the Welsh Office) relate to units which predate community councils (the equivalent in Wales of English parish councils). In some cases, the names of MAFF 'parishes' are not identical to the names of modern local authority areas; where the names are the same, MAFF has advised that the MAFF 'parish' and the civil parish may not cover the same areas.
Lookup tables were transferred, by MAFF and by the Welsh Office, which translate the codes used for parishes in the Parish Summaries datasets. MAFF also supplied a table which translates the codes used for counties. As these tables do not relate to any particular sweep of the census, they have been treated as distinct datasets rather than as part of the Parish Summaries datasets.
(3) A series of datasets of County Summaries held in MAF 410.
The datasets in this series are available to download. Links to individual datasets can be found at piece level.
Agricultural Census and Survey System (ACS) (1968-1993):
- Hardware: ICL mainframes.
- Operating System: GEORGE (II & III).
- Application Software: Inhouse system written in COBOL. Enhanced and refined until its replacement by the Farm Survey System (FSS) in 1993. Tabulation Utility (TAU) was used in connection with the EC Structure Survey. In addition, there were 470 job control macros.
Farm Survey System (FSS) (1993-?):
- Hardware: Client/Server architecture operated via a Local Area Network (LAN). The FSS LAN was connected to the MAFF data communications network (MAFFnet). The FSS ran on two servers: FSS1, the main server. This managed the Ingres relational database in which data from censuses and surveys was stored. FSS2, was used by statisticians in Stats(C&S) to carry out complex statistical analyses of the data held on FSS1.
- Operating System: UNIX.
- Application Software: Ingres database management.
User Interface: Not known for ACS. FSS allowed up to 80 users to connect to the main server (FSS1) concurrently. Users moved through the system via a hierarchy of screens and menus.
Logical Structure and Schema: Each of the Parish Summaries datasets consists of a single table of aggregated data for all English and Welsh parishes for a particular census. The Counties and Parishes lookup tables likewise consist of a single table each.
In MAFF's view, the system can be divided into three main sub-systems:
- A fixed application, the same for all censuses and surveys run on the system.
- A survey application specific to each survey.
- Software tools to manipulate and analyse the data.
How data was originally captured and validated: During the 1989-1996 censuses, the basic method of data capture was paper forms. Farmers were asked to return the forms within about a week of the census date in mid June. Non-respondents were sent reminders. MAFF had the power to prosecute non-respondents.
Before 1997, farmers were sent either a 'short' or a 'long' form. The short omitted the sections on horticulture and glasshouses. Farmers were sent a long form unless previous census returns indicated that no horticulture or glasshouse data was likely to be present.
Before 1995 forms were sent to all holdings which were classed as 'main' holdings. In 1995 an element of sampling was introduced. Thereafter, sampling was applied to main holdings with a Standard Gross Margin (SGM) of less than 9600 (SGM was 'an economic measure of a farm's profitability . . . derived from the activity being recorded on the Agricultural Census return for the farm'). 'Small main holdings', were sent a census form every three years on a rolling basis; 'very small main holdings' (those with an SGM of less than 3600) were sampled randomly each year at a rate of 10%.
MAFF also attempted to integrate data collection for the census with data collection for its Integrated Administration and Control System (IACS). By 1996 Stats(C&S) were investigating the possibility of establishing closer links between IACS and the census. By 1999 this has progressed to the point that census data was derived from IACS for about 6,000 farms whose production was covered by an IACS claim.
Data inputting and validation: In the 1989-1996 censuses, the forms were returned by farmers to the Parish List Section of Stats(C&S). The rate of return of forms could be as high as 10,000 in a single day. Under the ACS, receipting was done by batching the forms and sending them to ITD's PCK section for the recording of the holding numbers ('CPHing'). With the introduction of the FSS in 1993, bar-coded forms were introduced. After forms were receipted, they were scrutinised by the Parish List clerks. Data inputting was done by batching the forms and sending them to PCK section for speed keying. This continued to be the normal method of data entry after the introduction of the FSS. However, the Parish List clerks acquired the ability to input the data directly to the FSS via input screens.
Once the forms were loaded into the system, a parameter sheet was generated which listed batches loaded, and the number of forms in each. A data load report (recording forms that failed to load) was also produced, and a validation error report (listing validation queries by county in the order of CPH numbers). The data was validated against previous returns, against other values on the form, and for credibility via validation rules written by statisticians. Validation queries were cleared by Parish List staff by reference to the original survey forms, by following standard instructions, and by contacting the farmer directly.
Provisional results for the census were published after about 60% of the forms had been received. Final results were calculated when about 80% of the despatched forms were deemed sufficiently 'clean' to be used. In order to account for non-responses statistical techniques were employed to generate a dataset covering 100% of main holdings. Two techniques were used:
- Ratio estimation: 'using previous years data as a base . . . the returned sample is poststratified by farm size (SGM) and farm type to minimise non-response bias. Each item being measured is raised independently of others and so different raising factors apply. Coverage and standard errors for the estimates vary between items but relative standard errors are typically under 2 per cent for the main crops and under 5 per cent for the livestock'.
- Imputation: 'this involves applying an appropriate trend (obtained from responding units) to the previous years data for a missing farm to give a best estimate of the current year's information'.
Production of final results involved the use of estimation to compensate for holdings which had not returned a form, or for returns which were being queried.
Constraints on the reliability of the data: MAFF stated that the Census was 'subject to some margin of statistical error on account of the quality of the basic material and the methods which are used in adjusting and statistically treating data for non-respondents'.
Validation performed after transfer: Details of the content and transformation validation checks performed by NDAD staff on each Agricultural and Horticultural Census dataset are contained in the catalogues of individual datasets.
For earlier summaries see MAF 68
The Agricultural and Horticultural census dates back to the nineteenth century. The first agricultural statistics to have complete coverage of Great Britain were collected in 1866 by the Board of Inland Revenue on behalf of the Board of Trade, which was responsible for the processing and publication of the returns. In 1883 publication was undertaken for the first time by the Agricultural Department of the Privy Council, to which, in 1884, the grant made to the Board of Trade for their collections was transferred. The Agricultural Department of the Privy Council began to process the forms for itself although the actual collection remained in the hands of the Inland Revenue. These arrangements continued unchanged in the succeeding years, during which (in 1889) the Agricultural Department of the Privy Council became a part of the newly formed Board of Agriculture. Later, in 1909, the excise duties of Inland Revenue were transferred to the Board of Customs. This Board became responsible for the collection of the returns until 1912, when the duty was transferred to the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries. The Board became the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MAFF) under the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries Act 1919. Responsibility for the census in Scotland was devolved in 1912 to the Board of Agriculture for Scotland (part of the Scottish Office).
The completion of the census returns by farmers was done on a voluntary basis from 1866 until the passing of the Corn Production Act 1917. The Act provided for the payment of a subsidy to farmers based on the acreage of their wheats and oats, and in turn made the completion of the census returns obligatory. Voluntary completion was re-introduced in 1921, when the subsidy paid under the Act was withdrawn. The completion of census returns became compulsory again with the Agricultural Returns Act 1925, which established the statutory authority for the census. Successive enactments since then have laid an obligation on farmers to complete the forms for the Agricultural and Horticultural Census. Since 1956 farmers have returned the forms directly to MAFF's central statistical departments. Before then, forms were collected at a local level by MAFF's County Advisory Officers (1949-1956); by a network of MAFF-employed crop reporters (1919-1949); and by excise officers (1866-1918).
The current statutory basis for the census is the Agricultural Statistics Act 1979, as amended by the Agriculture (Amendment) Act 1984, and Section 12 of the European Communities Act 1972. The legislation requires farmers in England and Wales to provide information for statistical purposes, as required by the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and the Secretary of State for Wales. It also requires that strict confidentiality be observed with respect to the data, to protect against the disclosure of information on individual holdings. One effect of this is that data gathered in the Agricultural and Horticultural Census has only been published and made available in aggregated form.
In addition to data for publication, the Agricultural and Horticultural Census provides MAFF with the core data from which sample selections for other surveys are taken. Data from the census is often correlated to data collected in other surveys: e.g. the area of wheat is correlated to the yield. Where there is a correlation, information from the June census may be used to raise the aggregates from the sample in a survey to estimate the aggregates for the population as a whole. Thus the June census is not only important in its own right but also for the processing of many other surveys.
Information derived from the census is provided to MAFF economists and policy sections, and is used in the formulation of agricultural policy, assessment of the impact of European Community policy proposals, identification of market trends, assessment of research and development needs, and in agricultural advisory work. MAFF economists carry out survey work based on data from the June census, a prime example being the Farm Business Survey. Information from the census has also been supplied to agricultural industry customers (such as the Meat and Livestock Commission and the Milk Marketing Board, now succeeded by Milk Marque), and to other government departments: e.g. the Department of the Environment (for research into changes in land use) and the Office for National Statistics (for Social Trends and Regional Trends publications, and for national employment data). Trade associations and non-departmental public bodies produce economic analyses using census data, whilst academics use the material for both research and teaching. Local authorities rely on Agricultural and Horticultural Census data for administration and the provision of statutory services: e.g. structure plans and strategic planning. Results are also used by international bodies. The census and the parallel June censuses carried out in Scotland and Northern Ireland are the main UK sources for the European Community's Farm Structure Survey, a survey conducted by EC member states every two or three years.
Within the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, the responsibility for the Agricultural and Horticultural Census rested (in 2000) with Statistics (Census and Surveys) Division (Stats(C&S)) in the Economics and Statistics Group. Stats(C&S) design the census, gather and analyse the data, produce statistical publications, and maintain the English part of the Parish List (a register of agricultural and horticultural holdings which is used to contact farmers for the census.
Prior to the creation of the National Assembly for Wales in 1999, responsibility for maintaining the Welsh part of the Parish List, and for controlling and correcting Welsh data for the June census and larger surveys, rested with the Statistical Directorate of the Welsh Office and the Directorate's predecessors. Smaller surveys were processed by MAFF on behalf of the Welsh Office. Welsh Office staff therefore had access to MAFF's Farm Survey System, and performed their own data processing, cleaning and validation for the census using the same suite of programs. Although the Welsh Office Agriculture Department appears on some of the Welsh census forms, and as the joint author of some publications relating to the census, NDAD was told that the Department was not directly involved in the processing of census data. The census forms used in Wales from 1989 to 1993 have 'Welsh Office Agriculture Department' at the top of the form, but the contact address is given as Economic and Statistical Services Division, the predecessor of the Welsh Office's Statistical Directorate. In 1999 the Welsh Office Statistical Directorate became the Statistical Directorate of the National Assembly for Wales Executive, to which responsibility for the census in Wales was also transferred.

What a beautiful tribute to our friend Chachi and to the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom since the creation of our Country. Thank you Len for all of your hard work in making this memorial a reality and also to our Town Council for their support.

Great example of what happens when a great group of committed, hard-working people band together and do something for a great cause. This will be a fine tribute to all fallen local soldiers. Hooray!

This is a great example of why I live in Danville. Wonderful, appropriate display of respect for a true American hero. Sad thing is that Danville is probably one of the only towns in the Bay Area where the local politicians and community would "allow" this to be completed. Thank you, Danville, for keeping hope alive, of true American values.

The community is invited to the third Family Awareness Conference sponsored by Just For Kids Inc. Child Advocacy Center May 9 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Lewis Community Center in Oak Hill.
"This promises to be a conference to remember," said Scott Miller, Just for Kids executive director. "The keynote speaker, Rev. Darrell Armstrong, is a dynamic, engaging speaker. He is a national and global advocate for the prevention of child abuse and family dysfunction, while also focusing on family strengths and strengthening families."
Miller said this conference will touch upon many of the lessons learned during Child Abuse Prevention Month in April and focus on proactive steps everyone in the community can take to "strengthen families and foster positive outcomes for all children."
One of the most important things individuals can do is to connect with children, he said.
"A little time spent positively supporting kids can make a big difference for our community. Youth who have positive mentors are more likely to stay in school and earn high grades and less likely to smoke, use drugs or carry weapons. Singing, talking and playing with young children activates the construction of their developing brain and has a positive impact on their future learning and career success," Miller said.
Miller added that in addition to the keynote address by Armstrong, there will be 10 other break-out sessions on topics such as trauma-informed practice, Internet safety, fetal alcohol syndrome and engaging the religious community in protecting children.
"This conference will make a difference in southern West Virginia as we work together to help families find their strengths," stressed Miller.
CEUs are available for social work, counseling, nursing and more. Lunch will be provided and a special session for clergy to learn more about how to be involved in working with parents of young children will be held at 4 p.m.
To find out more about the Family Awareness Conference, call the Just For Kids office at 304-255-4834 or visit the website at www.jfkwv.com.

Can a once rooster fighting ring turn into a successful small music venue in Sunset? Manager Chad Domengeaux seems to think so.
600 stadiums seats, three full rooms and nine acres of property offered ample opportunity. But figuring out what to do with the venue was tough. But a few weeks ago, Chad and his business partner decided a music venue could work. The main goal? Get people in the door to start spreading the word.
"The easiest thing was to bring in some musicians like we're doing with the Louisiana Country Music Unplugged. We're doing two shows, one on July 27 and one on August 10," said Domengeaux.
But it's not just country music.
"Motivational speakers, companies to come in and rent it out, music and breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays, festival. in the back, I had this idea to bring in high school students let them set up on stage and play for their peers," said Domengeaux.
While the rooster fighting of the past will no longer be part of the present, keeping the grounds and interior the same is important for the future.
"We're not gonna do a whole lot in here because he wants to keep it true to what it was." said Domengeaux.
And even the name, La place de Chantecler, is important in keeping in line with the history of the venue.
"Chauntecler was a rooster in an old British chaucer tale and what is more appropriate because of the rooster fighting." said Karen Domengeaux.
Domengeaux hopes the intimacy and variety the old rooster fighting grounds will be un-matched.

Local Schools Readying for Start-Up NY
10/28/2013 (Updated 8:28:38 PM)(Source: Jason Weinstein)
After getting regulations from the state last week regarding Start Up New York, public colleges and universities are working on their plans to lure businesses to campus under the program which turns those campuses into tax-free zones for new industry. According to BU, the interest has been widespread.
"We have local start-ups, we have local big companies, we have local regional big companies as well as some other out-of-state larger companies. And there's been some interest from international companies," said Dr. Per Stromhaug, Executive Director of BU's Entrepreneurship and Innovation Partnerships.
One of those out-of-state businesses is Boston-based Storm Insights, an emerging technology market intelligence firm. It hopes to relocate to BU's campus on January 1st.
"I hope as much as possible to hire from the community. I don't think there's any reason given the skill base that's there that we'd have to try to bring in people from other places," said Adrian Bowles, President of Storm Insights, Inc.
SUNY Broome also says it's close to bringing at least one business on campus under the program.
"We've got three right now. One we've had very serious conversations with and we're ready to start putting a plan together," said Dr. Kevin Drumm, President of SUNY Broome.
Some established local companies have questioned the value of the program, saying they're paying the freight for these new businesses. The state estimates the program will cost 323 million dollars through March of 2017.
However, that state projection does not include anticipated benefits the new businesses will bring.
"There are multiple companies in different parts of the world that either would like to relocate or they're looking to open a branch in the US, for example. This is a very good opportunity for that," said Stromhaug.

Walmart's Dumplin closing delayed
From this morning's column:
The confusion already may be having an effect on Walmart, though. Turley said a closing on the property was at one time set for September, but was delayed because "we couldn't confirm the road." Asked when he thinks the closing will happen, the developer said, "We don't know, but we think they're going to use this delay on our part to delay closing, since we haven't been able to close."

Pettitte, Rivera pitch Yankees past Red Sox 4-2
By MIKE FITZPATRICK=
AP Sports Writer=
NEW YORK (AP) _ Andy Pettitte pitched the Yankees to their first win of the season and Mariano Rivera made a successful return to the mound in New York's 4-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night.
Brett Gardner and Francisco Cervelli homered for the Yankees, providing some unexpected power to a depleted lineup missing the ``sore four'' _ Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira and Curtis Granderson. All those All-Stars are on the disabled list, and without them New York dropped its first two games at home to the rival Red Sox.
Gardner and Cervelli each hit a solo shot, the first homer for both since they went back-to-back off Baltimore's Tommy Hunter on Sept. 6, 2011. Neither player spent much time on the active big league roster last season.

This is theorizing, obviously the problems might go a lot deeper than what I am saying, and while much ink has been spilled I don't know if anybody has really thought about this:
Is Liverpool artificially limiting Andy Carroll's play?
A quick idea on what artificially limiting play is and or can be: My roommate played basketball for Goucher (it's a small D3 college) and he was not allowed to dribble. He was the best shooter on the team and so he could only shoot or pass the ball when he got it. So he did and he was a much worse player for it because part of his ability to shoot 3 pointers so well was based off of his ability to drive. There was no reason for him to not dribble but he still didn't anyway because that was what the coach wanted.
Another example, this time with Liverpool (and also an example where it can be positive): Dirk Kuyt is a striker. He scored buckets of goals in The Netherlands and still scores them for the Dutch national team. Yet on Liverpool he plays winger and doesn't score as many goals or play as forward as he would probably ideally like (not that I could ever see Kuyt complaining). Yet he is still the winger because the coach said so.
I think Liverpool are not allowing Andy Carroll to turn on the ball to move forward. With Newcastle, based upon approximately 12 minutes of youtube clips, Carroll faced goal a lot more and was allowed to turn on the ball. What I mean when I say turn on the ball is a holding striker who has the ball and his back to the defender turns around with the ball and beats the defender. With Liverpool when he receives the ball as a forward he is basically asked to then immediately pass it back to the nearest midfielder then get forward for a header. Go look at how he played against Newcastle, he would get the ball 20 yards from goal and then pass it back about 10 yards negating the initial pass. This strategy was not unique to the Newcastle game, but has been a part of how Carroll has played in general at Liverpool. As a Geordie, Carroll had a lot more freedom to turn on the ball to get forward and make plays. Since he got to Anfield Carroll has not been allowed to make plays, only finish them and I think those rules are making him unconfident which is hurting his play.
(via marwanalhakam07)
Go to 57 seconds into this clip and see the third goal against West Ham. (he scored a hat trick)
Carroll makes a great cross-field pass which leads to his goal 10 seconds later. Liverpudlian Carroll would never be allowed to make that pass he would instead be forced to lay it back to either a close midfield player or a defender. At least, seemingly he would based upon how he has played since he moved to the Reds.
Andy Carroll is being artificially limited by Kenny Daglish into being a holding striker who can only get headers from a more complete player who can create chances as well as finish them. If he had more freedom I think Carroll would be play better and score more goals. Free Andy Carroll!

Student Computing Support Center
Help Desk Call Center
Instructional Tools Support Center
Classroom and Event Technology Support
Students receive a print allotment at the beginning of each semester in which they are enrolled. Undergraduates get $20 (650 b/w pages), and graduates get $30 (1000 b/w pages) credited to their accounts. Allotment that is left in the account at the end of the semester will roll-over from Fall to Spring and from Spring to Summer. However, at the end of the Summer semester all print account allotments will be reset to zero.
Understanding "Purses"
A print account actually consists of three "purses"; Credit, Allotment, and Cash. The "credit" purse is where any bad prints will be credited back to your account, the "allotment" will hold the standard semester amount given to all students, and the "cash" purse will hold any money you added to your account. When you print, the system will first charge the "credit" purse until it is zero, then the "allotment" purse, and finally the "cash" purse.
Adding Money to a Print Account
Money can be added to the "cash" purse in a print account by visiting the Computer Support Center (Walk-in Help Desk) located in the Stalker Hall basement, Room 009. Visit the CSC website for hours.
Students will not be able to print into a negative balance. If there is a
balance of $0.12 and the job will cost $0.15, then the system will not send
it through. Therefore, it is very important for students to keep track of
their print account balance. To check a balance, simply swipe your student
ID card or log in with your username and password on any Print Release
Station terminal, then click "Account".
What will be credited
Print jobs with a mechanical defect such as streaks on the page, areas of too light printing, or issues of a similar nature that are caused by printer malfunction will be credited. Note that if the printer jams, the print job will be reprinted once the jam is cleared. An OIT technician will arrive within a few minutes to clear the jam.
What will NOT be credited
Credits will not be issued for "user error." Common issues are: blank pages at the end of a file, printing too many copies, printing to the color queue instead of black/white. Before you send a print job, carefully proofread your document and check it in print preview. Before you release a job from the Print Release Station, check the cost amount in the lower left corner of the terminal to make sure it is the amount you expect.
How to Get a Credit
Take your print job to either the CSC or upcoming OIT Tech Support desk in the Library within seven days of printing. After examining the print job, they will create a ticket for a credit. It may take up to two business days for a credit to be issued. The credit will be added back in to your printing account (see Print Account Information section).
It costs $0.03 per page to print black/white (the "Student_BW" queue) and $0.15 per page to print color (the "Student_Color" queue.)
Print jobs sent to "Student_BW" can be printed from any of the 26 Print Release Stations, regardless of whether the printer is a black/white printer or color printer. If jobs are released to a color printer, they will still print in black/white and will be charged $0.03 per page. Print jobs sent to the "Student_Color" queue can only be printed at one of the 14 color printers. Color printers are located in many academic buildings, the HMSU Commons and the Library first floor. See a full location list.
Time Limits
Print jobs will be held in the queue for 24 hours. After the time limit is expired, print jobs are deleted automatically. Deleted jobs are not charged.

Compression injuries in bicycle accidents do not occur as often as impact injuries, but they can be devastating, the researchers say. They demonstrated that by using a pneumatic air cylinder.
Together the skull and helmet were placed on their sides on a platform underneath the pneumatic cylinder, and the cylinder was set at various loads of compression to identify the maximum load that could be sustained without damaging the skull. The test was repeated using the skull without a helmet and again using the helmet alone.
Standing up to 470 pounds
The helmeted skull was able to withstand a 470-pound force; the helmet alone displayed initial cracking at 100 to 200 pounds of force. Needless to say, disastrous consequences occur when that happens.
ed when the unprotected skull was subjected to a high compression load.
Based on the test results, Dr. Mattei, the lead author of this study, offers this advice to parents sending their children out to play on bicycles:
"Parents must be aware that it is their responsibility to provide and assure that all available safety measures are taken when allowing their children to participate in any kind of social activity or sport," Mattei said. "Bicycling is not different."
The best way to teach, he says, is by example. He suggests parents go bicycling with their children, making sure everyone -- adults and children -- is wearing a helmet.

The right answer is somewhere in between these two extremes. To really understand the significance of PVCs, we need to review what they are, what they imply in terms of medical prognosis, how they ought to be evaluated and how they ought to be treated.
What Are PVCs?A PVC is an extra electrical impulse arising from one of the cardiac ventricles, usually the left ventricle. Because this early impulse appears before the next normal heart beat has a chance to occur, it is called "premature." electocardiogram. PVCs are quite common. Around one in 20 normal people will have at least one PVC on a two-minute ECG strip, and a much higher percentage will have PVCs on 24-hour Holter monitoring.
Some people will have episodes of several PVCs in a row. If there are more than three PVCs in a row, the episode is called non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT).
Symptoms With PVCsMost people with PVCs have no symptoms at all. They simply don't feel them. However, a substantial minority of people with PVCs will perceive palpitations - an unusual awareness of the heart beat. These palpitations are often described as "skipped beats" or a "pounding heart." In some people, these symptoms are extremely difficult to tolerate.
Whether or not you perceive symptoms from your PVCs is related to many factors. Some people are just naturally more sensitive to any unusual events that occur in their internal organs - including PVCs. Others are blissfully unaware of their PVCs during the day when they are active and distracted, but suddenly begin to feel them when they retire for the night and external stimuli are removed. But fortunately, most people do not feel their PVCs at all.
Why Are PVCs Significant?PVCs have medical significance beyond the fact that they can produce symptoms. Over the years, the chief concern about PVCs is the idea that they may increase a person's risk for sudden death from cardiac arrest. For decades, it was believed that the presence of PVCs significantly elevated that risk. More recent evidence has suggested that PVCs themselves probably do not increase the risk of sudden death very much (if at all), and that the association between PVCs and sudden death may be an indirect one.
Specifically, it turns out that people who have frequent PVCs are more likely to have, or to develop within a few years, significant underlying heart disease. And since people with significant heart disease do indeed have a higher risk of sudden death, PVCs are therefore associated with that same risk (whether or not the PVCs themselves actually produce the increased risk).
So - PVCs may be associated with increased cardiac risk, but are probably not the actual cause of that increased risk.
How Should PVCs Be Evaluated?To reiterate, the chief medical significance of PVCs is that they may be associated with an increased risk of heart disease. So if you have PVCs, your doctor should launch a cardiac evaluation, looking for previously unknown heart disease, and assessing your risk of developing heart disease in the future.
The heart diseases most often associated with PVCs include coronary artery disease (CAD) and heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy. PVCs are also commonly seen with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and with heart valve disease.
In general, an echocardiogram is a good way to screen for most of these cardiac conditions, although your doctor may also want to perform a stress thallium test to check more rigorously for CAD.
In addition, you and your doctor should go through a formal risk assessment including evaluating your diet, weight, smoking history, exercise habits, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, blood pressure and blood glucose evaluation.
Aren't the PVCs Themselves Dangerous?The best information we have today suggests that PVCs themselves are only rarely dangerous. In fact, studies have shown that suppressing PVCs with antiarrhythmic drugs not only fails to reduce the risk of dying, but in fact (depending on which drug is used), may increase that risk.
So only rarely is it ever medically necessary, or even desirable, to attempt to get rid of the PVCs.
Treating People with PVCsSince PVCs themselves are thought not to be particularly dangerous, it should not be a surprise that treating PVCs isn't entirely a straightforward endeavor. In fact, doctors often get a little confused about what they are supposed to do when one of their patients has PVCs - especially when those PVCs are producing a lot of symptoms.
Generally, the treatment of PVCs aims to do two things. The first and most important goal is to reduce the overall cardiac risk, including the risk of sudden death. The second goal, of course, is to reduce the symptoms (if any) being caused by the PVCs. These are two entirely different goals, and as doctors and patients make decisions about treating PVCs, each of these treatment goals needs to be addressed independently.

This is where the story synopsis will be posted after each session, for easy recaps.
Galen and Max have been traveling with a caravan through Cheliax.The caravan set out from Falcon's Hollow in Andoran and has stuck close to the main rivers bringing horses and silk to trade in Westcrown. The caravan, lead by teamster Baldric Villickson with his son Cedric, followed west along the Falconeres River toward the Trades Gate Gorge a well known pass in the northern Aspodell Mountains. The caravan continued westward along the River Keld, hoping to hire ferries at Senara to take them along the Iseld to the Inner Sea.
Along the Keld, however, the caravan was ambushed by goblin's who captured some caravan guards and forced the caravan to take refuge in the town of Whispermyst's stockade.
Galen and Max, along with Max's badger companion Edgar, decided to take dinner in the Polearm's Peak, a sort of private pub for the Whispermyst militia.
While there, they encountered Gareth "three fingers" the bar keep, and Jager, a local loudmouth and drunk.
They also encountered the mysterious rat catcher, whom, rumors said, lived in an old cemetary north in the Whisperwood off an old deer trail.
As Galen and Max pondered this curiosity, Baldric came in, recovered from the goblin sleep poison he had been exposed to during the raid, and anounced that a rescue party should go looking for his lost men. Galen and Max, believing that if any one knows the whereabouts of the goblins camp, the rat catcher of Whisperwood would. They volunteered to investigate, and set out that night with Cedric Baldricson.
Following the old trail the delve deep into whisperwood, finding the old cemetary and the nameless rat catcher, a tiefling with an unusual glowing arcane tattoo. He agrees to lead them to the goblin camp if the promise to help him retrieve a silver pendant they stole, a momento from his father.
Cedric feeling uncomfortable dealing with the man grudgingly agrees, prompted by Max and Galen.
The tiefling then dons well made armor and collects cruel looking weapons in preparation to raid the goblin camp with Max, Galen, and the unerved Cedric.
As our heroes traveled the rat catcher, who introduced himself as Cairn, were led along a deer trail winding about. They encountered some strange animals that skittered into the night. Cedric claimed they had the taint of evil in them and shuddered to think what infernal influence had spawned them. Once they reached a river, Cairn said it was just the Keld they had followed earlier on their journey. Cairn suggested the rest by the river then as the goblins, he claimed, didn't come this close the water as wolves had hunting grounds here. This sounded reasonable to Max and Galen, as Max knew goblins hate and fear dogs, why not wolves. Cedric still had reservations about the tiefling, however, and decided to stay up and keep watch with Cairn. During the night early hours of morning Cairn announced he needed to relieve himself and sauntered into the woods. Cedric listened carefully, aware of the tieflings movement in the bushes, waited for him to return. After a few minutes he was satisfied that Cairn wasn't up to anything, until he saw one of Cairns dogs come out from the direction the tiefling had left. He realized he'd been duped a second before he felt the dagger scratch the back of his neck, a second before he heard the tiefling say, "Sorry it has to be this way, but I can't have you screwing up my plan.". A second before he could cry out to Max and Galen they were betrayed, the world spun and his eyes went dark.
Cedric, Max, and Galen woke to the slapping of water against a shallow bottom boat. They were bound and gagged in the bottom. Anger flared in their eyes as they saw Cairn was guiding the boat further down river. He had his hood up over his head but still squinted in the morning light. He saw they were awake soon enough and said, "You know it's better this way? I mean you would've done what? Charged into a war camp with 300 warrior? Be quicker you had just stepped into the hangman's noose." After about half the day had passed before the traitorous tiefling ground the cramped boat onto the river bank. He pulled a small whistle from his belt pouch and blew a shrill note, after a few minutes some goblins sprung from the bushes chattering in their language. Cairn called out, "Hurry up you scab eared scum, get a cart. You think I'll carry Glurchna's slaves in myself?", Cairn winked at Cedric.
As they were carted into the war camp, goblins cheered and jeered as Cairn lead in the boar pulled cart. They stopped in the middle of the grass huts and a massive bugbear picked up Galen and Max in each his massive paws to the direction of a hideous hobgoblin sow. Cairn and the hobgoblin haggled over price in goblin while the bugbear came and retrieved Cedric to a wooden hut by the central sacrificial stone circle.
That evening the goblins had a celebratory bacchanal of drunken revelry, the drums playing into the night. The party seemed to wind down early, then our heroes heard Cairn speaking to the guards indistinctly. There was the clear glug as the guards drank some grog. The first fell almost immediately, snoring soundly. The second began to cry out groggily, but was interrupted as the clay jug broke over his skull.
Cairn crept into the hut soundlessly, motioning to be silent. "Most the tribe is sleeping," he whispered, "can't take their own poison." He cut their bonds and said, "Your weapons are under the hut wait here."
He returned a minute later, if they didn't hurry, Zurk, Glurchna's personal body guard, would awaken while they were freeing the caravan men. Suddenly a shriek pierced the night. Glurchna was awake. Cairn took Cedric to hold off the raging witch, while Max and Galen went from hut to hut freeing their bound friends.
As Max and Galen came to a large hut near the edge of the village. They had awakened Zurk. A rough battle ensued between the druid and his wizard friend against the massive bugbear.
Meanwhile Cairn and Cedric found problems of there own ass Glurchna was not alone. Crank, chief hunter, of the clan was with her.
As Max and Galen finished off the hulking bugbear, they turned to see Cairn snatch a silver pendant off Glurchna, his short sword thrust deep in her belly. Cedric had the unconscious Crank under his arm. She managed to gasp one word before she died. Q'dozil. Max and Galen watched, relief giving way to panic, as they saw Cairn arc backward in pain his face contorted in anguish. The saw an imp materialize from the air, perched on his shoulder, it's tail dripping with the tieflings blood. Cedric swung with his scimitar, but the tiny devil bound to the witches body then into the air jus out of reach. "I must thank you, little brother, for freeing me." it said in the common tongue, "My mortal mistress was becoming tiresome. Now I think will leave you to her last gift." He said it while producing a small stone. "Oh but don't worry, I'm sure we'll meet again." the imp laughed, "Probably on my plane next time." With that the imp threw down the stone into their midst, it cracked on a stone column spewing grey clouds of gas.
Max and Galen saw Cedric and Cairn turn to grey stone before they fled into the night.

I'm just a girl who likes to take photographs. Living in Newcastle, Ontario most of my life; I have the best of both worlds - small town country living with easy access to urban landscape. With the emergence of the digital age, I purchased a Nikon D70 and a whole new world was opened to me. Digital photography allowed me to focus and fine tune my 'eye' and find a photographic 'style'. Everything is a picture – My photographic style is finding beauty in the everyday objects that we pass by unnoticed. I enjoy photographing the world around me as I see it; within the lines, colours and details of an object, person or place.

Unlike Microsoft, Google reduces its carbon emissions through the use of carbon credit offsets -- investing in an activity that reduces carbon emissions elsewhere when renewable energy isn't available. The carbon credit is verified by a third party, and it signifies that greenhouse gas emissions are lower than they would have been had no one invested in the offset. One credit equals one metric ton of carbon dioxide prevented from entering the atmosphere, according to Google. For example, if a Google data center is located in a region without renewable energy, Google would invest in renewable energy in another region that may not even effect its facilities directly.
"The deals we enter into, you can be assured we've done internal analytics to ensure it meets our cost thresholds," Demasi said.
The U.S. military's efforts
Along with large corporations, the U.S. military is turning out to be one of the largest deployers of renewable energy. Last month, the U.S. Army installed its largest solar power farm to date at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The solar array, which cost $16.8 million, is a 4.46 megawatt ground-mounted system comprised of Solaria solar modules that were deployed by Siemens. The White Sands Missile Range solar energy system will take up two acres of land and will generate approximately 10 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually. That's enough to save an estimated $930,000 a year.
Complemented by a 375-kilowatt solar carport for employees, the solar array at White Sands will supply approximately 10 percent of the total power used at the installation and reduce carbon emissions by 7,400 tons per year.
"When talking hundreds of megawatts, you're talking about covering quite a bit of space," said SEIA's Hitt.
Aided by tax incentives, the increase in solar deployments can be attributed to a sharp drop in installed system prices. Solar efforts are getting cheaper for two reasons: an improvement in silicon wafer production and economies of scale.
Photovoltaic power technology advances
SEIA's Shugar, who is also CEO of solar voltaic installer Solaria Corp., said the technology to make the crystalline silicon wafers used for photovoltaic cells has improved exponentially over the past few decades. The silicon wafering process begins with solid ingots made of single-crystal or multi-crystalline silicon material. Thirty years ago, blocks of silicon ingots were sliced into thin wafers by hand using expensive and inefficient diamond saws, much in the same way a butcher slices cold cuts. The relatively thick wafers were then used to make photovoltaic cells.
In the 1980s, the solar industry began using wire saws to cut the ingots into wafers. Each slice was 500 microns in thickness (a micron is 1/1,000 of a meter). Historically, every five years, silicon wafer production has seen a 50-micron reduction in thickness. Today, wire saws slice an entire block into wafers at the same time, each wafer being only 150 microns in thickness, Shugar said.
Because of cost reductions, Shugar said solar deployments have grown by 50 percent to 100 percent every year for the past 12 years.
"It really is a technology story at the end of the day," Shugar said.

#Tip: ScribbleLive launches internal chat feature to help journalists communicate
Earlier this week liveblogging platform ScribbleLive announced the launch of a new internal chat feature within its software which enables journalists working on a liveblog to directly communicate and share multimedia privately.
In a post announcing the feature ScribbleLive said it "eliminates the need for content creators to be in the same room or on the same email thread".
We caught up with ScribbleLive chief executive Michael De Monte who said the feature was "one of the most requested features we've had from our customers".
What it allows our customers to do is basically consult back and forth about what kind of content to publish, when to publish it and all of this is basically a private channel for them to speak to each other.
People can create content from multiple locations, in fact from multiple places around the world and multiple devices, so we decided to incorporate this feature to allow them to have an ability to say, for example, 'hey are you going to get that photo from such-and-such, and can you publish it as soon as you have it available', and you can have this private conversation that is not exposed to the real world.
Even if you happen to be in the same city or perhaps even in the same office, not necessarily sitting beside each other, it's just a really great way to say 'ok well why don't you take care of moderation now and I'm going to go and look for some more images on x, y and z' and that way you don't have to have a secondary application running.

"Can I come on the first session to see if I like it?"
When booking a place on a course or class we need you to pay for the entire term or session. We are unable to offer taster sessions.
"How do I sign up for a class or workshop?"
You can do that by calling Prema's office on 01453 860703. We hope in 2012 that you'll be able to book everything directly from our website.
"I've double booked myself, can I get a refund?"
We are only able to give a refund if the activity is sold-out unless there are exceptional circumstances. If we are able to offer a refund, we will take 10% of your booking fee. However, please remember that we are generally unable to give refunds.
"Is everybody going to be much better than me on the class?"
Everything we do at Prema is suitable for all levels of dexterity and experience. The likelihood is that the course will be attended by some people with almost no experience and some who have quite a lot of experience. All of the artists running participatory sessions are enormously experienced and will make you feel welcome, empowered and comfortable whatever your level!
"Is there homework?"
Not "homework" as such although sometimes you might be set a few assigments to help consolidate your learning or for you to try out some of your newly discovered skills back at home.
"Do I need to bring my own materials?"
Some of our courses need you to bring specific items. If you need to bring anything along we will have spelt it out clearly in the information about the course as listed here. We try to devise courses which don't need you to necessarily own (or need to buy) lots of kit and materials.
"I don't have any experience, can I still come along?"
Of course, we'd love to see you. And you'll be made to feel most welcome.

Baseball and Alumni play to a draw in annual Alumni Game
Related Links
The JU baseball team got its first action of the fall while 36 former players returned to John Sessions Stadium as both squads dueled to a 2-2 tie through six innings, Saturday afternoon in the annual JU Baseball Alumni Game.
Among the 36 former players to arrive for the game were: Tom Alford (IF, 2002-04), Mark Aldrich (IF, Carson Andrew (RHP, 2007-09), Chris Basso (C, 1990-91), Gus Bell (IF/OF, 1967-70), Josh Burrows (LHP, 2006-08), Rob Cichra (IF, 2002-03), Pete Clifford (OF, 2003-07), Garrett Dunlap (LHP, 2006-09), Kevin Ferreira (OF, 2006-08), Kyle Fleming (OF, 2008-09), Jeremy Gillan (C, 2008-09), Z.B. Hamilton (RHP, 1988-98), Chad Hauseman (OF, 1999-03), Josh Hurrell (OF, 1996-00), Logan James (IF, 2004-07), Josh Johnson (OF, 1999-02), Chuck Kirk (RHP, 1989-90), Matt Lopez (IF, 2005-08), Dan Maier (IF, 2005-09), Mike McCallister (OF, 2006-07), Trip Mischel (IF, 1982-83), Daniel Murphy (IF, 2004-06), Thomas Myers (OF, 2008-09), Chad Oliva (C, 1999-02), Adam Rapoza (RHP, 2007-08), Joe Samples (OF, 1995-98), Joe Schlegel (C, 1965-68), Joel Shapiro (RHP, 1986-89), Casey Shumaker (RHP, 2000-01), Fred Story (IF, 1986-87), Jim Tosh (IF, 1990-92), Eric Whitford (IF, 1987-91), Jimmy Winn (IF, 1961-63), David Yates (RHP/IF, 2006-08) and Justin Young (RHP/OF, 2004-07).
"It is always great to see our former players come back and enjoy playing the game of baseball," said JU head coach Terry Alexander. "We couldn't have asked for a better weekend of weather and there were several other guys who came for batting practice last night but couldn't make it for the game. The alumni are the foundation to which this program was built and everything that we accomplish in the future is an addition to the success that they have achieved before us."
Hamilton got the no-decision for the Alumni despite allowing only one run on two hits in three innings of work. Cichra also added two innings of shutout relief for the Alumni.
Junior RHP Matt Loosen also ended the contest with a no-decision despite hurling two shutout innings. Senior RHP Glenn Witkowski, sophomore RHP Baker Chapman and RHP Chris Kaminski each added a scoreless inning of relief.
The current Dolphins got off to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second when sophomore Kevin Lehane laced an RBI single to center to score senior Alex Martinez.
The Alumni rallied for two runs in the top of the fourth when Oliva hit a solo home run to right center field and Aldrich pulled an RBI single down the third base line to score pinch runner Ferreira. The Dolphins rallied for a run in the bottom of the sixth when Lehane notched his second RBI base hit of the contest, this time with two outs.
Martinez also contributed to the Dolphin offense with two base hits in the contest.

Staff Report
Cooperstown Crier
---- — The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum's Board of Directors has restructured the procedures for the Ford C. Frick Award selection process, refining the criteria and organizing candidates by era, with changes effective immediately.
The Ford C. Frick Award has been presented annually since 1978 by the museum for excellence in baseball broadcasting. Annual winners are announced as part of the Baseball Winter Meetings each year, and the award is presented the following summer during Hall of Fame Induction Weekend.
Beginning with the 2014 Award, the selection process will reflect an era-committee, similar to the veteran's committee, where eligible candidates will be grouped together by years of most significant contributions of their broadcasting careers.
The three cycles will reflect eras of major transformations in broadcasting and media.
The "High Tide Era," to be voted on this fall, announced in December at the Winter Meetings and presented during the annual Hall of Fame Awards Presentation in 2014, will consider candidates whose contributions have come during the regional cable network era, beginning with the mid-1980s through today.
The "Living Room Era," to be presented in 2015, will consider candidates whose most significant years fell during the mid-1950s through the early 1980s, as the game spread through television and into homes across the country.
The "Broadcasting Dawn Era," to be presented in 2016, will consider candidates who contributed to the early days of baseball broadcasting, from its origins through the early-1950s.
The totality of each candidate's career will be considered, though the era in which the broadcaster is deemed to have had the most significant impact will be determined by a Hall of Fame research team.
A list of candidates eligible for the High Tide Era have been released and can be found at http://baseballhall.org/museum/awards/ford-c-frick/high-tide-era. Fans are given the opportunity to select three of the 10 finalists for the 2014 ballot through fan voting at the museum's Facebook page. Voting runs through Sept. 30 at 5 p.m. The top three vote-getters in the Facebook vote will be placed on the 10-person final ballot.
A Hall of Fame research committee will set the remainder of the ballot. The final 10-name ballot will be announced in early October.
The 20-member Frick Award Committee will cast ballots during November, with the 2014 winner announced during the 2013 Baseball Winter Meetings from Orlando, Fla., Dec. 10-11. The Frick Award electorate is comprised of the 16 living Frick Award recipients and four broadcast historians/columnists, including Frick honorees Marty Brennaman, Jerry Coleman, Gene Elston, Joe Garagiola, Jaime Jarrin, Milo Hamilton, Tony Kubek, Denny Matthews, Tim McCarver, Jon Miller, Felo Ramirez, Vin Scully, Lon Simmons, Bob Uecker, Dave Van Horne and Bob Wolff, and historians/columnists Bob Costas (NBC/MLB Network), Barry Horn (Dallas Morning News), Ted Patterson (historian) and Curt Smith (historian).
Thirty-seven broadcasters have been presented with the Frick Award with Mel Allen and Red Barber selected as the first recipients in 1978. A single winner has been selected in each year since 1979. The late Tom Cheek, former Toronto announcer, received the honor in 2013.
Voters are asked to base their selections on longevity; continuity with a club; honors, including national assignments such as the World Series and All-Star Games; and popularity with fans. To be considered, an active or retired broadcaster must have a minimum of 10 years of continuous major league broadcast service with a ball club, network, or a combination of the two.
The Ford C. Frick Award was named in memory of the sportswriter, radio broadcaster, National League president and Baseball commissioner.
