Founded in 1802, the community of Suffield Township, Ohio lies in the southwest corner of Portage County. We are uniquely situated in close proximity to Akron, Ohio to the northwest and Hartville, Ohio to the south. This gives our community a great mix of big city opportunities combined with rural charm.
With a population of 6383 as of the 2000 census, we are a close knit community - a community where neighbors look out for each other and wave when passing on the road. Township services include a highly trained Fire Department providing Fire and EMS protection to the township, as well as a hard working Road Department taking care of the roadways and other service related needs of the community.
We welcome you to our community. Please explore our web site to see more of what Suffield has to offer!
Our Firefighters Association is having a fund raiser. You should have received a letter about it. When the company (Colorcraft) did some cut and pasting in the creation of the letter, they show that another fire department would be receiving additional funds from any portraits that you may elect to purchase. Please rest assured that OUR firefighters association will be receiving all funds. The Firefighters Association is greatly appreciative of the generous support we have received in the early stages of this fund raiser. THANK YOU so much.!
A lot of residents have had questions about the cleanup of the old Teledyne Monarch site at the southern border of our township. Our zoning inspector, Mr. Adam Bey, is on top of this issue and it has now migrated up to involve the EPA. We know that it appears to be moving at a snail's pace, but things really are moving. Please be patient with us as we work to resolve this issue.
We are planning on having another township clean up day Saturday May 10th 8 to noon. We will take tires (up to 4 for free, then $1.00 per tire), batteries, computers, and scrap metal. This will take place at the township garage.
After a very rough winter, we are pleased with the overall condition of our roads. We will be continuing our chip and seal program this year. Details can be found on the Roads page.
The Suffield League is having the annual Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday April 13th at 1:00 p.m. at Lions Park. The Easter Bunny will be there as well. Donations of can goods will be accepted for the food shelf. There are three age groups: Age 3 and under, 4 to 6, and 7 to 10. Try to come out on the 13th and support the Suffield League and meet your neighbors here in Suffield.

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) — An aggressive President Barack Obama accused challenger Mitt Romney of favoring a "one-point plan" to help the rich in America and playing politics with the deadly terrorist attack in Libya in a debate last night crackling with energy and emotion just three weeks before the election.
Romney pushed back hard, saying the middle class "has been crushed over the last four years" and that 23 million Americans are still struggling to find work. He said the death of the U.S. ambassador to Libya was part of an unraveling of the administration's foreign policy.
The president was feistier from the outset than he had been in their initial encounter two weeks ago, when he turned in a listless performance that sent shudders through his supporters and helped fuel a rise by Romney in opinion polls nationally and in some battleground states.
Obama and Romney disagreed, forcefully and repeatedly — about taxes, the bailout of the auto industry, measures to reduce the deficit, energy, pay equity for women and health care as well as foreign policy across 90 minutes of a town-hall style debate.
Immigration prompted yet another clash, Romney saying Obama had failed to pursue the comprehensive legislation he promised at the dawn of his administration, and the president saying Republican obstinacy made a deal impossible.
Romney gave as good as he got.
"You'll get your chance in a moment. I'm still speaking," the former Massachusetts governor said at one point while Obama was mid-sentence, drawing a gasp from the audience. He said the president's policies had failed to jumpstart the economy and had cramped energy production.
The open-stage format left the two men free to stroll freely across a red-carpeted stage, and they did. Their clashes crackled with energy and tension, and the crowd watched raptly as the two sparred while struggling to appear calm and affable before a national television audience.

Football games are decided in September, not March, but don't tell Dolphins fans that, and they have plenty of reason to be frustrated.
The organization's recent tradition of whiffing when swinging for the fences has turned what was once the class of the NFL into a laughingstock. A handful of fans protested outside the team facility last week, calling for GM Jeff Ireland's job.
In the past 14 months, the Dolphins have tried, and failed, to land Jim Harbaugh, Jeff Fisher, Peyton Manning and Matt Flynn. So far this offseason, the Dolphins have lost Brandon Marshall (traded), Yeremiah Bell (cut) and Kendall Langford (signed with Rams) and signed David Garrard, Richard Marshall, Artis Hicks and Jamaal Westerman. They also re-signed NT Paul Soliai.
That's not exactly the net result fans were looking for.
The Dolphins have had two winning seasons dating back to 2004. They are coming off three consecutive losing seasons for the first time since the 1960s.
Owner Stephen Ross, who has received the brunt of the criticism, spoke to the media Monday from the owners meetings in Palm Beach, Fla. He is well aware of the criticism and emphasized a concerted effort to increase transparency and communication with the fans.
"I think there probably hasn't been enough communication with (the fans). We're going to engage in that a lot more," he said. "Free agency has a period to run. I don't know if there are a lot of major names out there but there's the draft. There's a whole plan that we have set forth. some things go well; some things don't go as you would have like them to go. I think you know what I'm referring to from the standpoint with regard to Peyton Manning. We're looking to really take this football team to a different level."
Finding out that the owner, who personally called two fans last week, wants to increase communication isn't necessarily what South Florida wants to hear. The Bills fortified their defense with Mario Williams and Mark Anderson, the Patriots remain the favorites in the division and the Jets still have plenty of talent and added LaRon Landry. Miami looks to enter 2012 as the predicted bottom-dweller in the AFC East.
With all that said, it's time to attempt to bring Dolphins fans back from the ledge. This doesn't look like a playoff team, and it might be a rebuilding one at that — even if the brass won't admit it. But here's a glass-half-full look at what has gone on this offseason and what is to come for a franchise that certainly "lost" in March.
1. Dolphins fail to sign Peyton Manning — Well, so did a lot of other teams. The Cardinals, Titans, Seahawks, Jets, Chiefs, 49ers and others all failed to grab the golden goose of free agency. And when you look closer at Manning's reasoning for choosing the Broncos — his familiarity with John Elway — it's understandable why Miami wasn't his preferred locale. Ireland and head coach Joe Philbin can't control that they didn't have that familiarity with Manning.
2. Dolphins lose Matt Flynn to Seahawks — My belief all along about Flynn has been this: No head coach in the NFL knows him better than Philbin, and if Philbin believed that Flynn was truly the franchise quarterback the Dolphins needed, Ross would have done whatever it took to land him. "Money will never be an issue for us becoming a winning football team, that I can tell you right now," Ross said on Monday. If you want to be optimistic, believe that Philbin didn't think it was worth getting into a bidding war for Flynn.
3. Dolphins settle for David Garrard after talking with Alex Smith — One thing to remember is that while Matt Moore is far from a franchise quarterback, and his own franchise has admitted that often since the season ended, he threw 16 touchdown passes and nine interceptions last season behind a shaky offensive line and won six games as a starter. Garrard, if healthy, would be a solid veteran backup and it's expected that Miami will select its quarterback of the future early in the draft. The QB position is not solidified yet, but with an early-round developmental signalcaller, like Ryan Tannehill, it will be in better shape than it was last season.
4. Jeff Ireland continues to drop the ball in bringing free agents to Miami — Ross turned some heads in December when he decided to axe Tony Sparano but retain Ireland. "I think it's unfair, I don't like it. I don't think Jeff likes it," Ross said about the heat Ireland has received. "Comes with the job," Ireland said. "It's not my first time to have a little adversity." Want some optimism? Ireland's best attribute is considered his scouting, and the early returns on his first draft without Bill Parcells in the room are positive. Mike Pouncey had a solid year at center, Charles Clay emerged as a weapon on offense, Daniel Thomas showed some flashes when healthy, Jimmy Wilson made a couple plays in the secondary and Clyde Gates came on late in the season. This is another crucial draft for Ireland, especially with an expected pick coming at the quarterback position, but Dolphins fans can look at last year's draft and feel at least an ounce of confidence that the GM can come through with some immediate contributors. But Ireland will need to do a lot more than draft well to keep protesters away from the facility.
The picture is bleak in Miami for many reasons, and right now it is because the team simply has yet to improve based on free agency. Another receiver needs to step up, the right side of the O-line needs to be filled and there are plenty of questions at safety — and that's not even mentioning play at the crucial quarterback position. But, looking at it from a more positive light, re-signing Soliai was a very good move. Miami still should have one of the better front sevens in the NFL, and on offense, the Dolphins still have top talents such as Jake Long and Reggie Bush.
It's hard for the fans to find any silver lining, and unless the Dolphins have a stellar draft and can pile up victories in the fall, their failures in March will show that "losing" the offseason can come back and bite you.

1. Five Keys to Painless Prospecting
Let's face it. No one likes to cold call, warm call, or do any type of prospecting. Even if you don't use the phone and, instead, reach out to new potential clients via email, the process can be intimidating.
But sometimes you just have to do it. Especially when you need to land some new clients fairly quickly.
The good news is, there are ways to make prospecting calls – or send prospecting emails – that are easy-to-do and get very good results. READ MORE →
2. How to Write a Better Headline
As you're probably aware, headlines are really, really important.
Using good headlines in your emails, web pages and other marketing materials can help boost your marketing results – while using poor headlines can have the opposite effect.
So how do you write a good headline? Well, there are lots of techniques. But the best technique also happens to be the simplest – and in this three-minute video, I'll show you exactly how to do it.
3. How to Raise Your Prices (Without Losing the Client.)
A coaching client recently asked me to help him increase his prices – ideally, without losing any of his current clients. During the past couple of weeks, I received about half a dozen requests from readers seeking similar advice. Obviously, this is a high-interest topic. Must be that time of year!
Raising your prices with prospective new clients is fairly easy. You just do it. In most cases, they won't be aware that you used to charge less.
But increasing your prices with a current client is a bit more tricky. You want – and probably deserve – to earn more for your services. Yet, you don't want the client to balk and start looking somewhere else. READ MORE →

In early 2001, after being inspired by artistic nude photographs I found on the Internet, I asked my wife to model for me.
I had a 1.2 megapixel Kodak point and shoot digital camera and no knowledge of photography. The results of that early attempt were less than flattering.
But I had found my Muse.
In the following 11 years, I shot close to 50,000 photographs of my wife. This book showcases 100 of my favorites, shot between 2002 and 2012.
The preview shows a small selection from each chapter in the book.

Closure floundered on PSN, given second chance on Steam: when good games slip through the cracks
Promoting your game is hard work. You need to reach out to the press, try to sell writers and editors on the idea that your game is worth coverage, and stand out from the mountains of games released every week. "I know I didn't do a very good job of it on the PlayStation," Tyler Glaiel told me over coffee. He designed and programmed Closure, the game was reviewed well, and is now available on Steam. The problem is that it never broke through and found the sort of coverage that leads to good sales. The game floundered on the PlayStation, and he's hoping for a second chance on the PC.
I asked for specifics on how the game sold on the PlayStation Network, and Glaiel refused to share numbers, but he did indicate the situation was pretty dire. "I thought, oh shit, we kind of got to go release on Steam as soon as we can, now," he said.
The importance of reviews, and promotion
Closure is a 2D puzzle game featuring a rather dour theme. Comic artist and writer Jhonen Vasquez described it as "genuinely unnerving," and that's something coming from the creator of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.
Closure was self-published on the PlayStation Network, so almost all the promotion fell on Glaiel's shoulders. Sony did invite them to Fantastic Arcade, there was a Destructoid article written where the headline compared Closure to Limbo, but said that Closure was good. I winced in sympathy. "There was like one paragraph saying that Closure is good, and three saying that Limbo sucks. I tried not to compare the game to Limbo, they are completely different." I've linked the article above, and while it's not as bad as Glaiel describes it, I can see his frustration. Glaiel also pointed out that he released the flash version of Closure before Limbo was announced.
There is some evidence that Glaiel is a little sensitive about people linking the two games in their coverage. "When people call it a copycat it kind of bothers me. I should just tell the press to say it's nothing like Limbo, stop comparing it to Limbo, but they're not going to do that," he told me.
He also brought up some interesting stats about game reviews. He looked up reviews on PlayStation Network titles versus Xbox Live Arcade, and found that many PSN games only see eight or nine reviews total, where Xbox Live Arcade games are reviewed on upwards of 30 outlets. It took them a number of days to get to the minimum reviews necessary to even get a Metacritic score. (The game now has an 82 percent score with 10 reviews).
The reviews themselves were close to gushing. "Closure's stunning aesthetics add a great deal to the game's overtly somber feel. Likewise, the music provides perfect accompaniment that furthers the adventure's sad, almost desperate arc," IGN said about the game.
Destructoid was likewise effusive in its praise. "Closure's faults can't prevent it from, at times, reaching some of the greatest heights in the puzzle-platforming genre. Once you get to the final ten stages, you are in pure puzzle-platforming bliss. Or hell. I suppose, bliss, then hell, then bliss again," the site's review stated. Sadly, none of these positive reviews led to a bump in sales.
A second chance on Steam
Glaiel wouldn't say what it would take for the game to be a successful on Steam, although he did share that the game would have broken even on the PSN… as long as no one on the team draws a salary. Closure was approved for Steam once it won an Independent Games Festival award; the low sales on the PlayStation Network merely pushed them to release the game out on PC quickly. I was told it took very little work to get the game running well on the PC; the title was always also aimed at the platform.
Luckily, Glaiel has plenty of time to grow from this experience. "I'm 22 years old, which many people don't know. I didn't want that used against me in business meetings," Glaiel told me. He's learned much from the experience of launching a game on a major platform, and has become much more media savvy since Closure was released. He told me that he had talked to Eurogamer to explain why the game wasn't available in Europe. That's a good question, why isn't the game available in Europe? He smiled and said I'd have to read the article.
He's also spent a few months helping Team Meat's Edmund McMillen code the Basement Collection, which helped to pay his bills. I was curious how those sorts of business deals work in the world of indie gaming. It's not rare for people to pool talent, but I didn't know if the relationships were ever formalized. "I've known Edmund for a while, I made Aether with him, you can see that clip in Indie Game: The Movie, so that was before Super Meat Boy. He asked if I wanted to do the collection and I said yeah, sure. He asked how much of a percent do I want, I asked for this much of a percentage, and he said that's fine."
That sort of relationship doesn't make Glaiel nervous. "If he did anything against that, or screw me over, what would that get him? He's a good person," he explained. "That was a good, short project."
Glaiel came up in the world of flash games, where gaining a few million views wasn't necessarily hard, but of course there's very little money to be made in the market. "It's really hard to get people to pay attention to you," he explained. "Making the game, I can't say it's easy, but that's the part that comes more naturally to me. You're able to make the game and it's good, and winning awards and competitions. But getting people to post your trailers or announcements and stuff or review the game… It took long enough to make that I never felt we were close enough to release to start really pushing the press, and then when it became time to start doing that, I had no good press contacts. I had a couple of them, but it wasn't enough." He said he should have started the process earlier, and pushed for more coverage. Glaiel was also doing interviews at PAX Prime, as he tried to drum up more press support for the game.
It's hard knowing why good games don't catch fire, but at least the modern gaming industry allows smaller games a second and even third chance across the various methods of distribution and consoles available to consumers. Closure is available on Steam, and it's definitely worth the $10.

Horse Meat Scandal Widens to 16 Countries

Horsemeat Scandal Gets Worse
Europe's horsemeat scandal continues to worsen in both size and scope. For one, the meat of three horses tainted with "bute"—the veterinary drug phenylbutazone—possibly entered the human food chain in France, reports the AP. The British government said today that eight horse carcasses processed in the country's slaughterhouses had tested positive for bute, and three of those could have made their way into the French food supply. The painkiller/anti-inflammatory is considered harmful to human health if ingested.
In addition, horsemeat-tainted lasagna has now been detected in Germany, reports the BBC. Stores are pulling the TiP product from shelves and are checking other brands for signs of impurities, too. All EU members are being urged to check for horsemeat traces in their processed beef.

Shit, after all the processing that that meat goes through there is probably only trace elements of that pain killer in it.... Deal with it.... Worse case you die, and you dont have to deal with people anymore.... Either way, you win

Horse Meat Found in UK School Lunches
Looks like UK schoolkids are among the many who have been unwittingly eating horse meat. DNA tests have found horse meat in cottage pies sent to 47 Lancashire schools. Officials believe only a "minute" amount of the rogue meat was actually consumed by children, and say the meat isn't believed to be dangerous, the BBC reports. "But I've no doubt parents will agree we need to take a very firm line with suppliers," a Lancashire County official said.
Three Irish education boards yanked beef burgers from their menus over the horse meat issue as well, though one later reinstated them after confirming they were all-cow. Meanwhile, the scandal continued to expand its footprint, as ready-made lasagna meals sold by Norway's biggest retailer were found to contain horse meat as well, Reuters reports. The meals were pulled from shelves earlier this week based on suspicions they might be tainted, but today brought the first confirmation that the scandal had indeed reached Norway.
At least it's not Soylent Green...yet.

The barcodes are getting removed next, because they contain traces of zebra. And whatever you do, don't try the veggie burgers, because they tested positive for Uniquorn.

I'm struggling to figure out why anyone is upset about this...
Horse = animal = food.
Some people get upset about eating horses cause they feel like they are special animals or whatever, but the real problem is that since horses are not supposed to be raised for consumption there aren't as many laws as to how they can be raised to ensure the meat is safe for consumption.
Not that the food animal care laws in this country really give a good goddamn about actually protecting human health more so as they care about maximizing profits, but supposedly Europe has more enlightened food laws. I don't really know myself.

Back to the original story though, everyone wanted so fucking badly to blame BK for this problem when it was clearly a problem with their supplier... and now that it's been shown to really not just be a BK problem, I have to laugh at how hard they got demonized.

Horse Meat Scandal's Latest Victim: Ikea Meatballs
Ikea is the latest and most unlikely name to be dragged down in Europe's widening horse meat scandal. Czech veterinarian authorities today said they found horse meat in packaged Swedish meatballs destined for sale in restaurants inside the furniture giant's stores, reports the AP. The meat was labeled as beef and pork, and was produced in Sweden, notes Sky. Affected meatballs were also found on sale in Belgium, Britain, the Netherlands, and Portugal, adds Reuters; about 1,675 pounds of meatballs have been yanked from stores in the Czech Republic alone.

Horse Meat Found at Taco Bell
If you don't want to eat horse, you might want to drop the chalupa. The great European horse meat scandal has spread to Taco Bell, with British regulators revealing today that they found horse meat at the chain's UK locations. That, it turns out, puts the Bell in pretty elite company; of the 1,797 meat samples regulators tested from across the country, only four came up positive, including Birds Eye ready meals and Brakes skewers, which had already been implicated, Reuters reports.
Taco Bell has just three outlets in the UK. The company released a statement stressing that the contaminated meat came from a single supplier in Europe, and noting, "We immediately withdrew ground beef from sale in our restaurants, discontinued purchase of that meat, and contacted the Food Standards Agency." But the news comes at an inconvenient time for parent company Yum Brands, which just this week announced it was tightening safety standards after its Chinese KFC restaurants had a contaminated chicken scare.

Wouldn't be surprised if this has been happening for some time now. Only the sophistication of our detection methods has probably brought this into the light. Along with listeria and E coli outbreaks in packing facilities, this is just one more reason our food warrants such scrutiny.
What really irks me is the tens of thousands of head of cattle are culled to keep the price of beef up. By culling I mean killed and incinerated.

More Ikea Food Woes: Horse Meat Hot Dogs...only in Russia though.
he last 10 days haven't been kind to Ikea's PR team, what with the horse meatballs and fecal bacteria-tinged chocolate cake. Today brings no relief: The furniture giant announced that it identified horse meat in hot dogs being sold in Russia and has pulled the offending products. The discovery came as a result of expansive testing Ikea has been doing in meat products around the world, CNN reports. "The vast majority of these tests show no indication of horse meat. However, there are also a few tests that do. In those cases we remove the product from sales," the company said in a statement. Only Russian hotdogs contained the rogue meat.

I think that it is absolutely disgusting that the RCMP has kept everyone in the dark on this story until now and that the accused is still free. Now I hear that they are going to delay the trial for a year because the accused claims he has no understanding of English (and he drives a double trailer semi?)!!

VDI review: Kaviza VDI-in-a-box
Kaviza's desktop virtualization solution scores with straightforward installation, easy expansion, and nearly universal client support
Kaviza VDI-in-a-box comes closer than either Pano Logic or NComputing to being a one-size-fits-all desktop virtualization solution. It is also straightforward to deploy. Available as a preconfigured virtual machine, Kaviza installs into an existing VMware ESX/ESXi or Citrix XenServer infrastructure, and it provides connection brokering, load balancing, user access control, and guest VM management in a single browser-based console. It supports both Microsoft RDP and Citrix HDX remote access protocols, as well as Kaviza's own Java-based client, so client access is nearly universal.
Unlike Pano Express, Kaviza doesn't come in a big box with lots of geeky goodies to install and configure. For deployment, IT will simply download the Kaviza virtual machine from Kaviza's website and import it into their existing VMware or XenServer host (support for Hyper-V is forthcoming). At first glance, the requirement to have a hypervisor already in place would seem like a deal breaker when compared to other solutions that include the server hardware (Pano Express) or require nothing but a good desktop PC (NComputing). But if you crunch the numbers, a typical virtual desktop using Kaviza can be had for about $425 per concurrent user (based on 50 users) -- including server hardware, VMware hypervisor, the Kaviza software, and Windows client licensing.
One reason the cost is almost half the price of a standard desktop PC is that Kaviza runs just fine on a "commodity" server, by which I mean a server with about eight CPU cores, 32GB of RAM, and some form of fault-tolerant local storage. There's no need for an expensive high-speed SAN or redundant servers. Kaviza claims this platform can handle at least 30 concurrent users. I didn't try to replicate that in my lab, but I had no trouble with 10 simultaneous users running 32-bit versions of Windows XP Pro and Windows 7 Pro on similar hardware.

KSP Highway Safety Branch News Release
Seven Die on Kentucky Roadways (Sept. 10 through Sept. 16)
Date of News Release: 09/17/12
(Frankfort, Ky.) -- Preliminary statistics* indicate that seven people died in seven separate crashes on Kentucky's roadways from Monday, Sept. 10 through Sunday, Sept. 16, 2012.
Five of the victims were traveling in motor vehicles and three were not wearing seat belts. One single fatality crash occurred in each of the following counties: Jefferson, Larue, Mason, Perry and Warren.
One fatality was the result of a motorcycle crash in Todd County.
One pedestrian was killed in Henderson County.
Through Sept. 16, preliminary statistics* indicate that 508 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2012. This is one less than reported for this time period in 2011. Of the 395 motor vehicle fatalities, 227 victims were not wearing seat belts. Of the 61 motorcycle fatalities, 32 were not wearing a helmet. Seven of the eight ATV fatalities were not wearing a helmet. Forty pedestrians, one scooter/moped rider and three bicycle riders have been killed. A total of 87 fatalities have resulted from crashes involving the suspected use of alcohol.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas. Crash data for this report is generated from the Kentucky Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).

(WMC-TV) - The former Memphis Animal Services building is being demolished, but animal advocates say problems persist.
The city's animal shelter was raided four years ago as of this October. That raid uncovered abuse, mismanagement, and a general lack of concern.
"I just wish for the sake of all the animals that were killed there, that a new idea would resurrect itself," said animal advocate Jan Courtney.
Courtney is with the group Save Our Shelter, which kept a close watch on activities at the old shelter. They continues to monitor things inside the new shelter off Appling Road.
"Everything bad that went on at the old facility on Tchulahoma [Road] is, to me, still going on. It's documented through the Freedom of Information Act and reported through the media," said Courtney.
Like the old building, city officials contend many old practices have been dismantled. Including that a dozen employees recently completed training with the National Animal Control Association. They say adoption rates are up, while euthanizations are down.
"We go through a cycle of hearing really bad things, then things die down, then there's reaction. It's a cycle we seem to have," said Courtney.
The city used land owned by the airport for the old shelter. The airport authority has no immediate plans for the property once the building is torn down.

There's nothing wrong with un-paid work placements
12:42am Friday 2nd March 2012 in Editor Ian Murray's Blog By Ian Murray , Editor-in-chief
The newsroom at the Daily Echo provides work experience for many people throughout the year.
Most of them are young, looking for their first step on the career ladder, but some are older, looking for a career change.
The placements are usually for a week, sometimes two, are unpaid and are provided to help give experience to the youngsters. Little, if anything they create is used in the paper. That is not the purpose of their time with us.
Do I feel we are exploiting these people? Far from it.
Why then do we do it?
In part to seek talent – a few of those we have met along the way have returned to us years later as trainee journalists. In part to help local schools and colleges meet work placement criteria. But mostly because we all know we were once young and looking for that first taste of the working world to give us valuable, recognisable experience.
The furore over the government's scheme to house tens of thousands of unemployed youngsters with companies while continuing to pay their benefits bewilders me.
True, the companies involved do not have to pay any salaries to their 'interns.' Equally true a lot of the work experience they offer is mundane and can be boring. But then again the real life work they are sampling can be just the same.
But why the government has found itself under attack for forging a mass work placement scheme with a number of large employers I can only put down to politics.
I have more sympathy with existing employees at those firms taking part who complain their overtime has been cut thanks to 'cheap' labour being on hand. Perhaps the answer would be for those gaining experience to stack shelves one day and then take the goods back down again the next, leaving, what I shall call, active work to those on the books.
I do recognise the type of young persons who have been paraded before the cameras on the BBC and Channel 4 to berate the scheme as demeaning. Of the hundreds of youngsters we have seen on work placements a few, a very few, have complained the newsroom was not exciting enough, the tasks they were sometimes asked to do dull and repetitive. A very few of the very few have walked out without having the courtesy of explaining why they wished to leave. But there will always be some who think they are too good for the rest of us.
We are not part of the government's official scheme. We will continue to offer work placements to enthusiastic applicants. No doubt a few will not find us to their liking. But then again, that's what the real world is all about.

Human Capital:
Significant Challenges Confront U.S. Trade Agencies
GAO-04-301T: Published: Dec 9, 2003. Publicly Released: Dec 9, 2003.

Recent developments in global trade have created human capital challenges for U.S. trade agencies. At least 17 federal agencies, with the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) as the lead, negotiate, monitor, or enforce trade agreements and laws. These agencies' strategies for effectively aligning their current and emerging needs in handling international trade functions and their human capital resources are critical to improving agency performance. GAO was asked to summarize its recent studies to illustrate important human capital challenges arising from current trade developments as U.S. trade agencies strive to negotiate, monitor, and enforce existing trade agreements and laws. For this testimony, GAO discussed the challenges that USTR, the Commerce Department, and the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection are facing in light of three recent developments in international trade: (1) the increased importance of security, (2) the ambitious U.S. negotiating agenda, and (3) the shifting global trade environment.
The importance of international trade to the U.S. economy has grown in the last decade, as have the responsibilities of federal agencies involved in implementing international trade functions. For example, the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks have heightened the need for increased focus on security within the global trade environment. In response, the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection has implemented new programs to improve the security of the global supply chain. These new programs require greater attention to human capital strategies to ensure that they achieve their goals of facilitating trade while preventing terrorist acts. In addition, the administration has continued to pursue multilateral negotiations within the World Trade Organization and with the Free Trade Area of the Americas countries as well as a series of new, bilateral and subregional trade negotiations. The increase in the number of initiatives has strained available human capital, leading to a USTR request for additional staff. Finally, the shifting global trade environment has complicated efforts to monitor and enforce trade agreements. For example, the United States has become the most frequent defendant in World Trade Organization trade dispute proceedings. Furthermore, as the U.S. economy has shifted toward services and high-tech industries, the industry advisory committees that provide trade advice to the U.S. government have required structural realignment to reflect these changes. Also, China's growing influence in international trade has resulted in new challenges to its trading partners. These changing global forces require U.S. trade agencies to continuously ensure that their human capital strategies closely link to the nation's strategic trade functions.

In a snifter this beer was black in color with a thin tan head.
It had a roasted malt aroma that seemed to be more on the chocolate side. There was also more than a hint of vanilla.
Very nice taste. Sweet chocolate, a tiny bit of coffee. Vanilla came through well, as did a bit of oak.
A fairly rich beer, one that wanted to be sipped.

Poured into becker pint glass; jet black with an awesome brown head from an easy pour that doesn't fade at all, leaving nice lacing as it slowly descends.
Smells of big chocolate, coffee, booze, metallic malt. A big smell, delicious.
Tastes like big chocolate and coffee, slightly tart, very big and malty, dark bread. BIG taste.
Mouthfeel is HUGE, creamy and smooth.
`Overall, this is such a big beer I regret choosing it as the second beer for the evening. Big beer, big mouthfeel, damn.

In a snifter from a bomber.
A- light, foamy espresso head forms into a plateau, and lace is scattered everywhere. Pitch black body with zero clarity.
S- creamy sweet malt flavor, the trade mark Uinta floral hop aroma (smells similar to Dubhe), faint chocolate, earthy notes. Caramel.
T- dark bitter chocolate, caramel, a touch of floral hops, vanilla.
M- thin and viscous with a bitter bite and some minor booziness. The finish lingers bitterlike.
O- A good beer but I remember it being close to perfection on my first try. I guess my taste has changed or evolved.

750ml, caged and corked Burgundian bottle. Thanks be to doktorzee for grabbing this for me in Vegas last month. Nice to see my workout today is wrestling the cork out of this one, sheesh.
This beer pours a pretty solid ebony, with prominent basal cherry cola highlights, and a roiling tower of frothy, foamy, and rocky tan head, which leaves a thorough array of chunky chain-link fence lace around the glass as it slowly settles to an attractive whipped-cream cap.
It smells of bittersweet chocolate, roasted bready caramel, sour milk-laced coffee, natural vanilla, candied sugar floss, a bit of barrel stave wooden astringency, Nordic black licorice, and earthy, leafy, and slightly perfumed hops. The taste is really bittersweet cocoa and lactic acid-heavy medium-roast chain restaurant coffee, a more Twizzlers-friendly licorice character, gritty toasted caramel malt, reserved vanillan oak barrel notes, a removed Bourbon booziness, middling wet tobacco, dry black fruit - think stale fig Newtons and that bag of raisins that your wife forgot to seal back up - and more understated earthy, leafy hops.
The bubbles are a bit frizzy up front, but settle to a dull hum soon enough, the body a bit on the light side of medium weight, and rather tight in its seemingly unassailed smoothness. It all finishes off-dry, the lingering chocolate, caramel malt, and milky essences not yet devoid of sweetness, despite the continuing onslaught of coffee, bare wood, and alcohol.
This seems to be what happens when you drop a porter into some American whiskey barrels - the base beer's robust (I'm assuming, here) attributes, while not exactly disappearing, still have to endure a large dose of the ol' thinning barrel treatment. Yeah, that's the flipside of the whiskey-cask aging coin - if the big caramel, vanilla, and oak woodiness don't honour their paychecks by doing their song and dance, we're left in a fix. Not a bad thing, per se, but a reduced one, all the same.

A - black with a thick, brown head that has great retention
S - roasted malts, citrus, coffee
T - creamy, citrusy, coffee, roasted malts, sugary
M - full bodied, smooth, well carbonated
This is an interesting beer. It has most of the typical notes that one would expect from the style, but there is an intense citrus character throughout. I won't say I didn't like it, but it wasn't what I was expecting. Once I came around to the blend of coffee, citrus, and some burnt sugar notes all blended together, I really enjoyed this beer. It's worth checking out.

Part of my NC haul, wish we could get these beers here in Oklahoma...
Pours mahogany with caramel colored head. Good lacing & above average head retention
S: Mucho dark fruit, carob, fusel alcohol, woody notes, licorice & smoke
T: Follows the nose, a touch of chocolate & charred grain up front. Black currant,, charred grain, a touch of ainise & carob as this warms, plus woody dryness, plums & a touch of leafy hops, & bit of medicinal/sasparilla sweetness. Finishes with a bit of charred grain, plums, some caramel, woody dryness
MF: Slick with silky carbonation, medium bodied with sticky notes
A top notch Baltic Porter, another winner from the Crooked Stave line, this one drinks so easy, yet highly complex

A Georgia State Patrol trooper was involved in a fatal crash Wednesday night on Interstate 95 at mile marker 64 in McIntosh County, Ga.
A news conference was held Thursday afternoon by Col. March McDonough, commissioner of the Georgia Dept. of Public Safety.
Nighthawk Trooper Bobby Black was involved in the crash in which the front of his vehicle clipped the back of another vehicle.
Investigators said they believe 57-year-old Sue Lynn Risley of Titusville, FL., was making a legal lane change when her vehicle was clipped by Black's vehicle. Her car rolled several times. She died at the crash scene.
"I'dlike to express my sincere sorrow for Ms. Risley's family, and commit and givemy word that the Department of Public Safety will do its best and will do theright thing," said Commisioner of Georgia Public Safety Col. MarkMcDonough.
Col.Mcdonough said Black did try to help the woman after the crash by giving her CPR.
Black will remain on paid administrative leave during the investigation.

DERRY — Dancers make a difference in Derry.
Every year, Dance Progressions hosts its annual "Dancers Making A Difference" show at the Derry Opera House.
Every year, the show reaps bountiful rewards for those in need.
Dance Progressions has hosted the show for more than a decade, joining together dancers from all over the area to dance and raise money to support the First Baptist Church food pantry.
Through the years, the show has collected thousands of dollars and many food items to support the pantry.
The first show was held in 2002 to support The Upper Room and it has grown since then to include other causes and missions, including local food pantries.
It also gives dancers a chance to learn about community service and give back to others while meeting performers from other studios in the area.

Huntley's Sam Andrews (40) lays up a shot as she drives to the basket during the fourth quarter of their game at Huntley High School Tuesday. November 13, 2012. The Red Raiders beat Bartlett 67-29. | John Konstantaras~For Sun-Times Media
Huntley and the Andrews sisters, Sam and Ali, stumbled in their Fox Valley Valley showdown with Cary-Grove on Saturday, but the Red Raiders have been the type of team all year to learn quickly and recover.
The Red Raiders (15-4) haven't had a losing streak yet. Still tied for first place with Cary-Grove and Crystal Lake South, the Red Raiders quickly bounced back from that loss by routing McHenry and have a big rematch Wednesday in the FVC against a South team they routed earlier 56-32. A rematch with Cary-Grove does not occur until the final regular-season game Feb. 2.
"I like where we're headed," Huntley coach Steve Raethz said. "Definitely this is the time right time now where we've got to start elevating our game, and especially with the conference stretch here, you want to put yourself in a position not only to contend for a conference title but also play well down the stretch of the season so you're ready for the postseason, as well. That's a long ways away yet, but we're obviously working toward those two goals."
The key for Huntley has been the one-two punch provided by Sam, the junior, and her freshman sister. Ali has broken onto the scene as the team's leading scorer at 16.7 points per game, averaging 7.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.4 steals. At least as impressive, she's shooting 86 percent at the foul line. Her sister can pretty much do the same, and did with 28 against Prairie Ridge this week. She averages 15.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and is at 83 percent from the line.
"It's a tough one-two punch," Dundee-Crown coach Michelle Russell said of the duo. "It's going to be that way for the next couple years with those guys."
The key for the sisters offensively has been an offense that leaves either one in position down low to score, with the other at the point getting the pass down to her sister. Both are versatile despite being over 6 feet tall.
"It's (the high-low), kind of a team effort," Ali said. "We have to rotate the offense, and once we have a couple passes it starts to work.
"I like to make the assist to Sam. It's a lot of fun for us."
Added Sam: "Both of us like either part of it — scoring it or making the pass, whatever is best for the team."
Coaches have tried different ways to handle the two in the half-court attack. One way has been to double-team both and try to make the other players do the job.
That might work, except senior Haley Ream, who averages 5.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, and shoots 83 percent at the line is always a threat, as well.
"We see Haley defensively as a role player with our team," Sam said. "She can look to score, and definitely has been big with rebounds and making steals (2.0 per game). She does whatever it takes."
Huntley plays seven games over the next two weeks, and gets to escape the Fox Valley Conference area for its regional at Belvidere with the hosts, DeKalb and Rockford East and Jefferson.
The comeback
Savanah Uveges' return from knee surgery takes the next step Saturday when the Storm plays a 2:30 p.m. Upstate Eight Valley game against rival Bartlett. The Storm had hoped to break through against the Hawks earlier in the season, but didn't have Uveges then.
Having her back has changed the outlook for the Storm quite a bit. Earlier in the month, coach Tim Prendergast had called his team's winning record a "mirage," because they'd beaten only winless or one-win teams. With their all-around threat back, it's different.
"I knew it would be somewhat of a struggle getting to this point without Savanah, but now that she's back — and it looks like she's BACK — I'm looking forward to the rest of the season knowing that we've got the tournament coming up in February and all that good stuff," he said.
Opposite situation
While South Elgin faces Bartlett with a player back in the lineup, it's the player who's not going to be there that could benefit Streamwood when it faces St. Charles East in a rematch at St. Charles East Tuesday. Paige Jordan, the Saints, guard, quit the team late last month due to problems with some teammates and because she wants to focus more on her golf game — she's planning to play college golf.
When the Saints beat Streamwood earlier 61-50, Jordan had 13 points, seven rebounds and four steals.
The Saints are 3-2 since losing Jordan, including a loss to Batavia that dropped them into a tie for first with the Sabres.
Triple threat
Westminster Christian figured to be a deadly three-point team coming into the season after making over 100 three-pointers last year and returning almost the entire team. However, coach Ken Flickinger has been wondering where the threes are this year.
He's not now, after his team won the Elgin City Classic prior to taking on Christian Liberty Friday night (home, 6 p.m.) in what could be a conference clincher.
"It seems like they're coming around," he said. "It was just getting in the gym after (Christmas) and working at their shots."
Junior guard McKaila Hays, in particular, seems to have come around.
"She'd been off a little bit the last month or so, I would say, by her standards," Flickinger said.
She hit 11 three-pointers in the Elgin tournament and tried only one in the title-clincher against the Maroons.
"I've been in a shooting slump for the three-pointers this whole season pretty much," Hays said. "So I haven't shot them very much. But over the tournament I feel like I've sort of gotten my swing back."
After playing what would be the first girls conference title clincher in school history, Westminster has some ideal games to get ready for Class 1A regional play. The Warriors play at 838-enrollment Evergreen Park Monday and Jan. 29 host 2A power Ottawa Marquette.
Westminster is host for a 1A sectional and plays in the Harvest Christian Regional. Postseason tournament seeds for 1A and 2A are set to be released Thursday and pairings Friday by the IHSA.
For larger schools, seeds will be out Jan. 24 and pairings Jan. 25.

Great way to finish the game. Shook off two terrible throws and closed it out.
I'm here to tell the truth about top secret Air Force project BAR STOOL. Gamma ray radiation from the particle accelerator under Joe Robbie Stadium is real! Get out while you can! This bad football team is just a front for something far more sinister!
What a spineless thread.
Whatever lurks ahead, grievous abominations and disorder, you and me walk into it together. like always...
