President John R. Broderick
Tuesday, August 24, 2010
Welcome! As you've no doubt noticed, this year's State of the University address has a slightly different format from previous years. The changes, to which Paul Champagne and the Faculty Senate graciously agreed, are a deliberate effort to symbolize the transformation that has occurred at Old Dominion University.
Today, I want to focus on where the institution is in 2010, and - more importantly - where it is headed. Within that framework, the most important things you will hear are the achievements of our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and supporters. I hope that as you listen, you will do what we do at ODU - concentrate, not only on the challenges, but on the highlights of the past year, because that is truly where the state of Old Dominion University is revealed.
While it certainly can have a significant impact, the current economic crisis will not break us. We have charted a course to not only survive, but to thrive. We have taken a long, hard strategic look at our entire operation and to make those judicious - but difficult - choices. Our number one priority has been to lessen the impact on the people within our community. As a result, we have assessed and examined programs, structure, and operations to decide what to advance, what to put on hold, and what to abandon. The bright light in this economic picture is that it forces us to confront the most essential questions about who we are and what we want to be.
First of all, people matter here. Faculty, staff, alumni, students - you are our life blood. We implemented a number of budget actions to buffer the impact of losing state dollars. Through one-time stimulus funds and additional revenue, we avoided layoffs. We minimized the impact on students and their families by not implementing a mid-year tuition increase. Additionally, we chose to use resources to opt out of the one-day furlough for state employees, thus sparing a hardship for both employees who would lose a day of income and students who would suffer from reduced services and classes.
I cannot thank the ODU faculty and staff enough for the many things they have done and continue to do.
Interest in attending Old Dominion University remains high. This year, freshman, transfer and graduate applications are all up. While our current enrollment management plan supports slower growth, the economy is forcing increasing numbers of people into our classrooms to retool or upgrade their credentials. Others, like those receiving G.I. Bill benefits, are also seeking access to education.
Earlier this summer, I was appointed, along with 30 other leaders, by Governor Bob McDonnell to the Commission on Higher Education Reform, Innovation and Investment. Allow me to take you through some of the commission's goals and show how closely our objectives align with the statewide goals for higher education.
The predominate goal at the state level is to make higher education accessible to qualified students, regardless of background or ability to pay, but this does not mean simply increasing numbers. In addition, we must support the governor's effort to increase degree attainment, especially in critical STEM areas.
Keeping students means helping them succeed. Following a report issued by Keeling and Associates on our many efforts toward enhancing student life and student success, I appointed a committee to review the consultant's recommendations, define success indicators, and recommend a structure to better support students at Old Dominion. The committee, led by Vice President Glenda Humphreys and composed of representatives from across campus, has provided a recommendation to establish a vice presidential-level position for student engagement and enrollment services to further our commitment to student success and student learning. I will move forward on that.
While more than 2,700 members of our student body come to us as traditional first-year students, there is another segment of students that we serve - older students, working parents, single dads and moms . . . juggling jobs and childcare . . . some far from our main campus as distance learners.
ODU's educational outreach to them is strong. We offer our distance learning programs, 2+2 and other partnerships with Virginia community colleges, higher education centers, and continuing education. As demand for flexible learning solutions continues to grow, Old Dominion's efforts will continue to grow and evolve. By fall 2011, ODU will offer 10 new online degree programs, both undergraduate and graduate, and we are already testing pilot programs on the iPhone and iPad.
Regarding the issue of affordability, the governor's commission is searching for ways to prevent significant and unexpected tuition increases, because parents and students need some level of cost predictability. This year, Old Dominion was able to keep its tuition increase the second lowest in the Commonwealth. But recognizing that even a small increase is a burden for many students and their families, we helped lessen the impact by providing an additional $1.9 million in need-based scholarships and creating $250,000 worth of on-campus student jobs.
On to our strategic plan...
One goal - providing students with the tools to succeed - requires that we know what those tools are and that we have the wisdom to acquire and use them. The tool we value above all is our expert faculty. Faculty members are the heart of this institution, and their engaging - and in many cases, award-winning - teaching and research are the reasons our students are equipped for success when they graduate. The new Center for Learning and Teaching Excellence will support our faculty, by offering workshops and other training.
We want our students to have advantages equal to those anywhere. That's why we have committed to the kind of technology and innovative learning-centered environments that will prepare them for a competitive world. When complete, the Student Success Center, under construction at the Perry Library, will consolidate all the support services that students and faculty need. Likewise, the new Learning Commons, with its state-of-the-art technology and inventive spaces, will give students and their professors powerful tools.
During this academic year, we will have the opportunity to demonstrate both our quality and effectiveness during a reaccreditation process with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. This provides a wonderful challenge - to look at all aspects of university life. In addition, it will encourage us to initiate a Quality Enhancement Plan that will focus on student learning, the primary concern for all of us. I am grateful to Provost Simpson, Dr. Sharpe and Dr. Danner, among others, for their leadership.
Of course, not all of college is about the classroom. For that reason, we provide a wealth of amenities and extra-curricular activities to a student population that is becoming more residential. Some 6,500 students now live within walking distance of the campus.
Another goal is to gain a national reputation through key academic programs and scholarship and we are well on our way. Our two-year old doctoral program in counseling was recently named the top such program out of 110 across the nation. That is especially gratifying considering we did not welcome our first cohort of Ph.D. students until the spring of 2007.
With our recently-established bachelor's degree in modeling and simulation, ODU is now the only school in the country to offer modeling and simulation, from undergraduate through post-doctoral.
M and S as an industry is one of Virginia's best investments, leading to higher-paying jobs, and an overall annual economic impact of some $400 million. Old Dominion has been, and will continue to be, at the forefront of that enterprise.
Clearly, the proposal to close the Joint Forces Command would be a blow to our region. JFCOM has been a longtime partner and friend. It has been an important catalyst for many of our successes and has been a driver in this region for business attraction and job creation. While we have worked at diversifying our modeling and simulation capabilities, it remains of critical importance to our region, the Commonwealth and our nation that the mission and capabilities of JFCOM remain in Hampton Roads.
Old Dominion is not in a mad race to the top in all research areas. Rather, I envision the University, under the direction of Vice President Mohammad Karim, attaining preeminence where its strengths lie. We are classified as a Carnegie Research Institution with high research activity. With our total R&D expenditures at $96 million, we clearly intend to perpetuate our research initiatives, but we must continually refine our targeted areas.
Across the Commonwealth, skill shortages beyond STEM exist in disciplines such as healthcare and advanced manufacturing. Both the governor's commission and Old Dominion are looking for solutions to the problem. In fact, with our innovative distance learning programs in nursing, our Project Lead the Way, and a host of other efforts in these critical areas, Old Dominion has already made considerable strides.
A third goal of ours talks about investing strategically to spur economic growth. Having committed to research, ODU has already had significant impact in both fundamental and applied research. We will not abandon our pillars of excellence, but will continue to promote our esteemed Research Institutes and Centers, such as the Frank Reidy Center for Bioelectrics, the Center for Accelerator Science in collaboration with the Jefferson National Lab, and the Laser and Plasma Engineering Institute. Also, such fields as supply chain management, alternative energy, oceanography and biomedical sciences squarely place ODU as an economic-development leader. We already contribute nearly $1 billion per year to the Hampton Roads economy. We take this responsibility seriously and will leverage our investments to create further growth through strategic partnerships.
It is elemental, because of our location, that Old Dominion provide education opportunities to military personnel, likewise a goal of the Commonwealth. I am especially proud to report that more than 20 percent of our 24,000-student population is in some way connected to the military. Whether it's our Military Career Transition Program, thriving ROTC programs, or specialized academic programs, Old Dominion is committed to serving those who serve our country.
We are committed as well to enriching the quality of campus life.
While our college experiences may have been very different from those of today's students, in terms of basic needs, things are pretty much the same - a safe campus, comfortable residence halls, library access, parking, and a welcoming atmosphere. At ODU, I probably should say parking twice.
As we become more residential, we must keep our focus on maintaining an inviting, supportive, safe, and intellectually engaging campus experience. Chief Burwell, VP Fenning and I will continue to work with Norfolk Mayor Fraim and the City Council on creating a joint police facility to serve not only the Old Dominion community, but also all our neighbors.
With a student population that hails from all 50 states and 106 countries, and faculty and staff who come from a profusion of backgrounds and experiences, ODU is a dynamic, multi-ethnic community with diverse interests in culture, art, music, entertainment, recreation, and athletics.
We, therefore, also want to expand our international connections. ODU has one of the largest cohorts of international students in the Commonwealth, more than 1,400. We intend to nurture our global connections and partnerships, and foster opportunities for travel, study, and intercultural curriculum development for both students and faculty.
The final strategic initiative is to build strong civic and community partnerships. We are the largest university within the nation's 36th largest metropolitan area, which has a population of 1.5 million. My vision is that Old Dominion University will be recognized as one of the nation's preeminent metropolitan research universities by contributing to all aspects of life in Hampton Roads.
We took a significant step in May with the launch of the Business Gateway, which transforms the way we interact with business. The Gateway provides a single entry point to the university's intellectual capital, world-class infrastructure and innovative technologies.
Solutions are precisely what we are hoping to achieve with our new program for the Study of Critical Issues. Thanks to a fund established by Doug and Patricia Perry, gracious benefactors of our Library, this program will gather community leaders, business and industry heads, and our own faculty to identify and examine the most pressing challenges facing Hampton Roads today. The effort will be led by Vice President Alonzo Brandon.
Another project that is just getting underway is an effort to identify the multi-faceted impact, climate change and rising sea levels will have on our region. Led by former President Jim Koch and oceanography Professor Larry Atkinson, the project will pull together the university and region's foremost experts to find solutions to the anticipated effects on our economy, housing, ports, and infrastructure.
Having the resources within this campus and not sharing them is simply not an option. We must honor the trust placed in us by parents, taxpayers, students, faculty, and donors to participate in intelligent thought and action for the common good.
But, we must also listen to and learn from the community. We must hear its concerns and bring to bear our resources to solve problems. We recently forged a tighter partnership with WHRO to do just that.
Bringing together many voices, opinions, and experiences for a common goal - that is the essence of IDEA FUSION.
I cannot end this address without expressing our deepest gratitude for the support of our legislators, local leaders, alumni and donors. Literary critic John Churton Collins said, "In prosperity, our friends know us. In adversity, we know our friends." Those words are especially profound in this time of economic challenge for higher education and Old Dominion University. I thank you for your friendship. I thank you for your philanthropy, and I ask you to continue to support our scholarship and other endowments. We need not only generous private support to continue our educational mission, but I will not stop making the case to Richmond that we also need to be better recognized in the existing state funding model.
At 81% of base adequacy, ODU is the lowest funded doctoral institution. With a student body of more than 24,000, that is 87% Virginian, that is a contradiction to the rhetoric of serving in-state students. You must help me change that!
Finally, whether you are a sports fan or not, if you were within three thousand miles of campus when football returned, or if you were around a television when our men's basketball team advanced in the NCAA tourney, you had to feel the Monarch Pride!
I'd like to ask for that same kind of support for the university as a whole as we embark on a new academic year. The success of our students depends upon that. If we all work together, the state of the university will be better with each passing report.
Thank you for being here today.

On August 1st, I will throw the names in the hat and video the winner being picked. IT COULD BE YOU! So if you have been on the fence about ordering your kit, NOW IS THE TIME TO DO IT. You won't regret it. And if you do, well I will treat you to lunch or something. But there is no one that I personally know that has not fallen absolutely mad in love with this stuff! It's not one of those gimmicks or a face cream you'll use for a week and stop, these oils CHANGE YOUR LIFE. I promise!
So what all comes in this kit?
{Premium Starter Kit}
When starting out with Young Living essential oils, I suggest to order the Premium Starter Kit. It is an amazing deal. Retail value is $281, but it only costs $150!
The kit comes with:
- The Everyday Oils Collection (used to include 9, but in October they upped it to 10 5mL bottles of oil)
- Bonus bottle of StressAway oil & a roller ball top
- A Home diffuser (this is everyone's favorite item)
- Samples of Peace & Calming, Lavender, Thieves & Peppermint to share with your friends
- Samples of NingXia Red juice by Young Living
- And membership access to a 24% discount for a whole year!
What is a "Membership Access"? It's basically your "Sams" or "Costco" membership for oils! The membership access allows you to purchase oils on your own directly from the Young Living website at the wholesale discount of 24% and receive reduced shipping. The only commitment is that you order $50 in products each calendar year. If you don't meet this $50 requirement, then Young Living will simply cancel your membership – no harm, no commitment, no cost to you at all. It is like a wholesale membership like Sam's Club where you pay a membership fee and then have access to wholesale prices. You are welcome to buy oils for others and pass on your discount if you'd like (that's what I do) to help meet the $50/yr requirement. But also, you are NOT obligated to sell or even share these oils with anyone.
The 5 mL bottles will contain about 80-90 drops each and include some of the more pricey oils (like Frankincense and PanAway) so you can give them a try in an inexpensive way. The diffuser alone has a wholesale cost of $80, so the kit is a really great value. See the link below for info on the kit and there is another link on that page to the Everyday Oils Booklet,which will tell you more detail about oils and the 10 included in this collection.

By last Friday, three days after the re-election of President Obama but before the final tally of electoral votes had been confirmed, a curious phenomenon was already taking place on the "We the People" website, which the Obama White House set up in 2011 as an easy way for Americans to petition the executive branch for the redress of grievances. Disgruntled individuals in various states — generously taking it upon themselves to speak for the rest of their states' populations — were announcing their desire to secede from the union and formally requesting permission from the federal government to do so.
As of earlier this week, petitioners in more than 30 states had expressed their keen interest in severing ties. According to "We the People," any petitions that earn 25,000 signatures within 30 days of their original posting will automatically receive an official response from the White House — which, if and when it comes, is almost certain to resemble the kind of "official response" routinely dispensed by immensely powerful corporations that feel compelled to acknowledge customer dissatisfaction, but who can afford not to offer any form of actual recompense. ("Thank you for your interest in seceding from the United States of America. We appreciate and share your concern about the fragile state of our union. Unfortunately, at this time . . . ")
It's unclear just how many of the state petitioners will be able to meet the signature threshold. But even if every one of them finds 24,999 like-minded souls to sign their names, one state will enjoy an advantage over the others. It will probably come as no surprise that the state in question is Texas, which has always prided itself on doing things its own way.
My home state is an odds-on favorite to stick it to the federal man in a secession battle in part because it's been spoiling for such a fight since Reconstruction. But it's not just the state's vaunted independent streak that gives it a leg up: Thanks to a strange quirk of its original annexation agreement, Texas may actually be in a slightly better position than any of the other 49 states to back up its tough-guy talk.

About the Program
The Adopt-A-Family (AAF) program matches impoverished families with individual or group sponsors to provide for their tangible needs at Christmas. Without the benefit of an adoption, these families would be looking forward to a very grim holiday. Being adopted is designed to be a once or, on very rare occasions, twice in a lifetime event for recipient families.
When an Adopt-A-Family match is made, the family information and wish lists are sent to the sponsor. The Salvation Army ensures that the family receives the gifts and food during the week before Christmas.
Many adoptees are referred by professional social workers who help deserving families complete an application during required home visits. An inventory of each family's needs is taken and a Christmas wish list is compiled. This gift guide may include toys, clothing, household items and information regarding the utilities and heating sources. Often sponsors will make payments on utilities or purchase wood or heating oil. Sponsors are asked to provide two or more new gifts for each member of the household and to provide food for the family for four to seven days.
Sponsors come in many shapes and sizes. They can be individuals, families, small businesses or large corporations. In many of the larger corporations, different departments often each adopt a family. Many sponsors find the experience so fulfilling that they participate in the program year after year.
The Salvation Army would like to thank all of our Adopt-A-Family sponsors for your concern and generosity. We appreciate you.

first of all, I want to clarify that IT DOES PLAYS VIDEO FROM USB, though only those formats that it supports (no mp4 or mkv). It's written on the box that it only plays music and photos from USB but I'm using it and it easily plays complete movies on it, so nice surprise there. A request to other reviewers that please test this feature (using a .avi file) and update your reviews.

* Good discount
* No video support from USB
* No AM
* No auto-resume (i miss this the most)
* Bass doesn't go too low. (40Hz according to the manual)
I purchased this product few days back and I'm quite impressed with it. Good sound quality, connectivity options and nice sets of equiliser settings make this a small powerhouse. The system is also very compact and the build quality is good. Overall this is a good value product and lives upto expectations.
The system is very compact and have a decent getup. The sound output is excellent.
Remote does not support in/out of the tray for disc.
very good product for its price. fast delivery from flipkart. Its having 3.5mm input jack for connecting phones and other players, usb port for pendrives. its very sleek and stylish. sound quality is good and radio reception is bit poor. would be better if it had functions like auto resume, no eject button on remote, trebble is less, overall a good system for its price

The Pennsylvania Department of Labor projects that the state will experience a greater need for medical workers in the next few years as the average age of its residents increases. Employers will have to work harder to attract younger workers, and demand for products aimed at a young market will decrease. The Department of Labor also predicts a growing Hispanic workforce as Pennsylvania continues to attract a more diverse population.

The mildly flattened wing shape along the top of the handlebar provides a comfortable platform for your hands. The underside of the bar is shaped so that cable housing can be taped unobtrusively without the use of housing channels or internal routing, both of which compromise strength and longevity. These bars are also clip-on aero bar compatible. 40, 42, 44 or 46cm.

As we entered the 2010 football season, there was quite a bit of change for the Big Ten Bowls. Out went the Alamo. In came the Gator. Goodbye Champs. Hello Dallas Football Classic (until it became the Ticket City Bowl). 2011 is a quieter year for bowls. The Big Ten will not be changing its affiliations this season. However, that doesn't mean that all will be the same. The Texas Bowl, in which Illinois beat Baylor last season, is changing its name to the Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas. "Wait," you say, "Isn't there already a Meineke Car Care Bowl in Charlotte? How will I ever keep these straight?" Fear not. The old Meineke Car Care Bowl is now the Belk Bowl. So there will still only be one Bowl that cares about your car. And, that bowl will pit the 5th non-BCS selection from the Big Ten against the 5th non-BCS selection from the Big 12. Off Tackle Empire's January Bowl Projections had Michigan facing Texas Tech in the Texas Bowl. At the conclusion of Spring Practices, we'll update our bowl projections, and we'll find out who's slated to be playing in the Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas.
Not to be confused with the bowl formerly known as the "Meineke Car Care Bowl (of Charlotte)" ... now Belk Bowl, where BC has a perfect 2-0 record.
Boston College basketball won the battle of the boards against Bucknell, snapping a four game streak where the Eagles got outrebounded. Can BC continue to win despite getting beat on the boards?

Talk about a death watch!
Imagine someone told you that you only had one year left to live. How would that change your life?
The designers of a prototype watch say that all we have to do is learn how to cherish the time and the life that we have been given, to honor it, suck the marrow from it, seize the day and follow our hearts.
They say that the best way to do this is to realize that seconds, days and years are passing never to come again. And to make the right choices.
Tikker is a wrist watch that counts down your life from years to seconds, and, they hope, motivate you to make the right choices.
The wearer simply fills out a questionnaire, deducts his/her current age from the results, and TIKKER is ready to start the countdown.
The inventors say it's important to remember that it's not about how much time you have, it's what you do with it.
The Tikker team has been working on the watch for more than two years.
They are running a Kickstarter campaign to manufacture the watch.

If you are not a Comcast subscriber and live in the US, beware of exclusive rights negotiated by NBCU through the IOC, (International Olympic Committee) for Olympic coverage. You may be out of luck seeking broadband Olympic access. If not a Comcast customer, you're left out of feeds associated with Comcast's Xfinity on broadband and must either subscribe to a broadband service negotiated through Comcast, or watch NBC delayed coverage on a cable TV channel with another service provider. Those are the rules associated with paying for exclusive rights to Olympic programming. This leaves a dichotomy of more demand and less available programming.
US Broadband Content for the Few
Being a country of immigrants the US has ties to many nations and people with roots in those countries have a vested interest in seeing how those Olympic Athletes will perform. That creates the dilemma of finding broadband content on specific events where expatriates can view their countrymen compete.
NBC offers delayed coverage of the most highly rated events and Olympic hopefuls. Those include events picked as likely to garner the ratings needed for good revenue generation. That leaves the Comcast Xfinity broadband access portal for those who wish to watch live events which are mostly tied to American hopefuls.
Black-Market of Broadband Content Access
Some broadband users are opting to acquire access through proxy servers which shields the individual's location. There are means of using IP addresses to show location, which can be illegal and accessed through so-called file-sharing websites. One such company, Pirate Bay, allowing uploads of Olympic content renamed itself "The Olympic Bay" according to a report by SouthCoastTODAY.com.
This indicates that exclusivity in broadcast rights to individual companies is both strong and a growing trend. Sports venues, with the Olympic broadcasting rights being a highest prized commodity, have historically been sold to the highest bidder. This is nothing new in the US; just look at the NFL, NBA, and other sports associations which garner high broadcast fees.
Convergence of Broadband Devices Fueling Demand
While NBC Universal concentrates on ad revenues through delayed primetime Olympic coverage, selecting highly rated events to make available on its Xfinity broadband service, world users are fueling demand for more Olympic coverage across multiple devices. Mobile access is a hot commodity indicating that overall demand is higher than anyone expected, continually growing at an exponential rate.
This demand has prompted broadcasters like the BBC to negotiate IOC Olympic rights for expatriates living in other countries. It seems however, if you live in a country where broadcasting rights were not negotiated, your broadband access to Olympic content is marvelous. That is, at least 10 streams of content showing live coverage of all events. Another statistic to ponder for US broadband customers is the lower fees in other countries, highlighting our global competitive weaknesses.
Dichotomy of Opposing Broadband Demand
As broadband-content demand continues to grow, and programming access continues to shrink, these two fundamentals seem at odds. Realistically our privately built broadband infrastructure has created a much different experience than foreign countries with fast broadband access, high penetration, cheaper prices, and content availability. If we are to compete economically on a global scale, we must think differently about our broadband-content availability. How can we make content access more affordable, highly penetrated, and accessible to the majority?

The Herald Bulletin
ELWOOD, Ind. —
And then there was one.
Or 210, depending on how you want to look at it.
With 301 rushing yards during Friday's 66-6 senior night victory against Frankton, Elwood running back Sammy Mireles moved into second place on Indiana's all-time career rushing list.
The only player left ahead of the Panthers' star is former Cathedral tailback Otis Shannon, who rushed for 7,560 yards from 1997-2000. Mireles is 210 yards shy of the record with at least two games remaining in the season.
Prior to this year, Shannon had been the only player in state history to clear the 7,000-yard mark. Mireles stands 40 yards shy of this third 2,000-yard rushing season. No other player in state history has ever had more than two 2,000-yard seasons.
Elwood (5-3 overall, 5-1 Central Indiana Conference) closes the regular season next week at rival Alexandria. The Panthers — along with every other team in the state — will find out their sectional opponent on Sunday after the 7 p.m. IHSAA postseason draw.
Body Copy:In what could be his final home game, Mireles gave the Elwood faithful one final blast of his unique brand of magic. On three consecutive carries in the second quarter, the 5-foot-8, 175-pound running back gained 215 yards and scored three touchdowns.
Body Copy:Mireles' outburst left the Panthers with a 41-6 lead with 4:16 remaining in the first half and capped a 276-yard performance prior to intermission.
On each carry, it seemed as though Mireles was attempting to top himself. The string started when he burst up the middle, cut to his right and ran 59 yards to the end zone. On his next snap from scrimmage, Mireles scored a 65-yard touchdown. And he ended the remarkable stretch with a 91-yard sprint that led to a little extra hydration in the halftime locker room.
Mireles wasn't the only Panther making big plays.
Fellow senior London Leavell scored the game's first touchdown on a 25-yard pass from Alex Mireles and added a 101-yard interception return for a score on Frankton's ensuing possession.
Sammy Mireles scored on a 7-yard run, and the Eagles answered with a 10-yard touchdown pass from Brayden Ginder to Dylan Combs to make it 28-6 with 8:49 left in the first half.
Sammy Mireles' touchdown streak began on the next play from scrimmage, and the game was never in doubt the rest of the way.
Sammy Mireles added a 9-yard touchdown run in the third quarter — his fifth scoring play of the game — before leaving to a standing ovation early in the final period. Elwood's other touchdowns came on a 60-yard run by Alex Mireles, a 43-yard fumble return by senior Jared Bourff and a 1-yard run by freshman Lucas Vinson.
The Panthers intercepted Ginder four times — with Dakota Cole, Chase Duncan and Tracey Ganow joining Leavell.
Frankton (1-7, 0-6) hosts CIC leader Eastbrook next week in what could be the final home game of head coach Otis Cress' 29-year career.
Cress was honored by the Elwood coaches and presented with a gift card before Friday's game.

|Perry sweeps Lady Bearcats
|Monday, April 01, 2013 3:17 PM
PERRY TOWNSHIP — Spencerville's varsity softball team lost a doubleheader to Perry on Saturday, 4-3 and 8-7.
Both games went 8 innings.
In the opener, Tori Johnston was the losing pitcher for the Bearcats, going the distance in giving up one earned run, six hits and two walks and fanning five.
Perry's Abbie Patton was the winning pitcher, also going the distance in giving up three runs, eight hits and no walks; she added 11 strikeouts.
Leading hitters for Spencerville were Maddy Hollar (2-4 with a double), Mackenzie Ringwald (2-4 with a triple and 2 RBIs) and Tori Johnston (a double and an RBI). Alyssa Mulholland, Hanna Keller and Abbie Lee each had a single.
The Bearcats outhit Perry 8-6 but made a few very costly errors in the fourth inning to allow two unearned runs.
In the second game, Alex Shumate took the loss for the Bearcats, pitching all eight innings, giving up nine hits and walking two, striking out 14.
Patton picked up the win for Perry, also pitching all eight innings, giving up 17 hits and no walks, striking out six.
Leading hitters for Spencerville were Hollar (3-4 with a double and 2 RBIs), Haleigh Mull (3-4 with a double), Shumate (3-4 with a double), Johnston (2-4 with a double and RBI and Mulholland (2-5, double, RBI, 2 stolen bases). Ringwald, Lee, Keller and Alli Gilroy each added a single.
Perry jumped out to a quick 7-0 lead after two innings on six hits and two walks but then freshman pitcher Shumate settled in and gave up only three more hits over the next six innings while striking out 14.
The Bearcat bats also woke up, out-hitting Perry 17-9 for the game.
"Once again, a few very costly mistakes on defense let a game slip away we could have been won," Spencerville first-year coach Jeff Johnston noted.
Spencerville visits Parkway today.

Deal signed for Oldbury nuclear power project
The Japenese company Hitachi has signed a deal to start building a nuclear reactor in Oldbury in South Gloucestershire. The controversial scheme had been in doubt when the previous owners pulled out.
But Hitachi says it could create six thousand construction jobs and a further thousand permament positions after that. The reactor could feed electricity into the national grid in about ten years' time. Bob Constantine reports.

3.36/5 rDev -21.9%
I think someone said this was an 2005 vintage, though I don't see any evidence of this beer being bottled after 2003.
Deep reddish-brown pour, a bit murky, with a small lasting ringlet for a head; minor legs on the glass. The aroma actually held up pretty good here, with scents of thick, dark sugars, toffee, molasses, lightly fruity esters; some minor notes of oxidation, but almost not worth mentioning. Unfortunately, the taste didn't hold up quite as well. The oxidation was more pronounced, somewhat cardboardy, dry bready malts, toffee, nutshells, hints of old sherry, and a neutral vegetal presence. It wasn't really bad, but it just seemed way past its prime, though it must have been a really good drinker back in the day. Medium body, a little thin in the mouthfeel, but alcohol almost completely mellowed. Nice little obscure gem to crack out for Stone Soup.

4.15/5 rDev -3.5%
Left a thin edge-layer around the rim of the glass but no other head really on this ale. Dark copper in color w/ hints or red as well. Lots of fruit smell and sugar (plums or strawberries). Brown maltiness also. Warming alcohol smell. The taste is mostly like sour plums on the front w/ smootness to die for and some slight oak dryness. Lots of chocolate comes through on the swallow w/ hints of almonds as well as a slight acohol finish. Warm smoothness w/ light carbonation w/ a nice chocolat malt swallow w/ little alcohol burn at all. Also slightly dry before the swallow- fairly full-bodied but not chewy as expected...a nice brew!

4.28/5 rDev -0.5%
Brewed July 2003
Poured out into my Duvel a woodsy, chestnut brown and unclear. Cant see through this. Tons of thick khaki head reduced down to a good heavy layer that stayed for a good while, but eventually I was left with a very thin ring only. No lacing at all, the glass stays clean all the way down. Richly scented of malts, raspberries, hops become more pronounced in the arouma as it warms. Tight carbination flows over your tongue and then expands a bit more in your mouth... not overly carbinated at all, it is a very interesting experience... lets you know it is there without being too much or too little for the style. Smooth, but not towards creamy, more silky. Sharp and peppery hoppy bites. Dark caramel sweetness with chocolate and coffee. Blackened toast and grapefruit rind. Alot of flavors linger for a few moments afterwards, then slowly fade. Very good flavors, great sipper. Man, the alcohol is very well hidden in this one.
Very enjoyable brew, and great way to sit back and watch the snow fall!

750ml bottle. Vintage 2003. Shared bottle courtesy of egajdzis (thanks!).
Poured a amber/copper color with a smaller off white head. Aromas and tastes of wood, malts, dark cherries, and a little musty. Malty. Light alcohol in the finish.
Notes from 2/4/05

4.68/5 rDev +8.8%
Reddish amber color with a very small, off white head, that quickly diminished leaving no lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops, nuts, sweet malt, and tart citrus fruits. More nuts, tobacco, resiny caramel malts, lightly bitter taste with a very faint alcohol finish. A nice barleywine.

4.72/5 rDev +9.8%
I am drinking from a 750 bottle picked up at the pub.
Brew is poured into a tulip glass at room temp.
The color is a clear chestnut with a thin edge layer of off white head that fades to nothing quickly.
Aroma is complex and fruity with plums, raisins, and strawberry like red licorice scents (a new one for me), this could also be bubblegum. I also get a bit of warming alcohol on the nose and a general hard candy sweetness.
Overall the aroma is very appealing.
First sip reveals avery mild almost non existent carbonation with a fairly thick body.
Flavor starts malty with toffee and chocolate dominant with the fruity nose not really making as much of an appearance on the palate. The beer leaves a nice chocolate coating on my tongue after I swallow.
A very smooth and easy to drink big beer. NO hint of the 10.6 % on the bottle. I think this is an outstanding beer and am glad I have 2 more bottles!
You must track this one down!

Business leaders welcome high-speed broadband expansion announcement
Updated 11:00am Tuesday 12th February 2013 in News By Vicki Henderson, Darlington reporter
THOUSANDS of homes and businesses across the North-East are set to benefit from the latest expansion of the high-speed broadband network in a move business leaders hope could boost the region's economy.
Up to 58,000 homes in the Tees Valley and about 14,000 properties in County Durham are the latest to be included in BT's £2.5bn roll-out of fibre broadband across the UK.
The towns chosen for the upgrade -Darlington, Redcar and Norton, near Billingham, in the Tees Valley, and Barnard Castle, Beamish and Easington in County Durham – will be upgraded by spring next year.
BT claims that the fibre technology raises download speeds from an average nine megabites per second (Mpbs) up to 330Mbps, the fastest speed recorded so far.
The announcement has been welcomed by council leaders and economic groups, which hope the improved connection to the world wide web will boost existing businesses and encourage others to set up in the area.
Stephen Catchpole, managing director of Local Enterprise Partnership Tees Valley Unlimited, said: "This is very welcome news for the start of 2013 - local businesses and households will be greatly encouraged by such a major investment, which shows we are making good progress in the partnership work that is strengthening our local economy.
"High-speed communications are essential in order to succeed in an ever more competitive and connected world and today's announcement helps to reinforce Tees Valley's credentials as a great place to live and do business."
Councillor Chris McEwan, Darlington Borough Council's cabinet member for economy and regeneration, said: "Local businesses have made it clear that access to affordable, reliable, superfast broadband is essential for them to remain competitive and develop their business. This news puts in place an essential building block from which we can drive forward with our aims."
Alan Napier, deputy leader of Durham County Council, said the news demonstrated that "we are making progress even in these tough economic times".
Farooq Hakim, BT's North-East regional director, said: "This latest investment is a major vote of confidence in the future success of this area. It will be a key part of our economic revival as we finally shrug off the effects of the downturn and create a better, more prosperous future."

Does anyone know if this will cover the whole of Darlington? We're currently classed as being too far from the exchange which means no internet provider wants to take us on as we can't get more than 1.3mb....
14k Homes Upgraded,total of homes in Darlington is 52k.So just under 1/4 of the town will be happy.If you live in Westpark area of Darlington you might as well live on the moon,Virgin wont install due to newly built streeets and the council wont allow any communication companies to dig up roads or paths for 3yrs after they have took over the upkeep of the roads and paths which they took over in 2012, so 2015 is a date for your diary.

If you read the article properly, it says Darlington in the tees valley, which is in the 58,000 homes, so Darlington will be pretty much all covered. The 14,000 homes is in Barnard Castle, Beamish and Easington.

Traffic on the Kennedy Expressway was snarled Monday afternoon by a wandering dog.
The injured pooch was first spotted around 2 p.m. near Ohio street, walking north on the shoulder of the highway and darting in and out of traffic.
Several state police officers and IDOT minutemen, along with a good Samaritan, tried to get a hold of the dog, but the pup scooted past them.
The chase went on for two hours past North Avenue, until a worker got a lasso around the scared dog.
The dog was then taken to a vet center by Animal Care and Control and given pain medication for an apparent leg injury. He has no tag or microchip.

Consultants to meet with flood victims
Updated 1:43pm Wednesday 12th February 2014 in News
RESIDENTS affected by the severe flooding which hit Romsey at Christmas and early January will be able to put their views to consultants called in to investigate the issue.
Drains and aging sewers were overwhelmed by the volume of rainfall that hit the town in a serious of winter storms that left parts of the town submerged.
Hampshire County Council ordered the independent inquiry which is being carried by CH2M Hill and representatives from the company will meet residents on Friday (February 14) to discover more about the problems they experienced during the devastating floods.
The drop-in sessions are at the Crosfield Hall between 3.30pm and 6.30pm.
Residents in Middlebridge Street, Winchester Road and Mainstone were the worst affected in that flood with sewage getting into homes and people left unable to flush their toilets. Some businesses including the Three Tuns pub in Middlebridge Street and the Cromwell Arms at Mainstone.
Hampshire director of environment Stuart Jarvis is leading the investigation and a report on the Christmas and January flooding is expected to be published on April 20.

DURHAM — Fired N.C. Central University head football coach Henry Frazier III continues fighting for his job.
Frazier sent a letter Wednesday to Melissa Jackson-Holloway, the university's attorney, asking for a hearing before the NCCU Board of Trustees or the president or Board of Governors of the UNC system to overturn the chancellor's decision to fire him.
"We are trying to give NCCU every opportunity to right this matter before costly litigation ensues which hurts the taxpayers and the school," Frazier's national legal counsel Linda Baden said. "It is not his intention to hurt the the students of the school or the taxpayers, but merely have NCCU honor its contract with him and in the process restore his reputation along with his ability to feed his minor children."
Frazier was fired in August after being charged with violating a domestic violence protective order. He appealed to first-year chancellor Debra Saunders-White in August to get his job back.
She wouldn't budge. She denied the appeal five days before his court date Monday. After Frazier was found not guilty, the university reaffirmed its decision.
Now Frazier is taking his case to his former boss's bosses.
"We believe that the Board of Governors as the ultimate policy makers should exercise oversight over their institutions especially in this case, when a proclaimed core value of NCCU social justice appears to be being violated," Baden said. "If NCCU is serious about the importance of 'modeling behavior,' it should start with itself."
Frazier asked that the university agree to mediate the dispute by having "a highly respected figure chosen by NCCU" help resolve the matter without going to court.
Frazier's firing gave him no severance pay. He had two years and $451,000 left on his contract, plus bonuses if he won a MEAC and/or National Championship.
Board of Trustees Chairman Dwight Perry said the trustees were not aware of Frazier's latest request, but "it is really the chancellor's decision to make on a personnel matter."
Efforts to reach Board of Governors Chairman Peter Hans were unsuccessful.

Shortsighted! Idiots! What else would you call conference presidents?
1. That allow clandestine meetings with only the non-basketball universities and the BE commissioner and similar meetings of the football playing schools (That's a sure way to show conference solidarity to rest of the nation).
2. That will not allow autonomy to the football playing schools in adding new members and insist that new members can be football-only(A sure way to attract quality schools).
3. That allowed Notre Dame to dump its basketball program and non-revenue sports into the conference without sharing its football revenue and even allowing ND to share the BE revenue (ND should have been made to pay for the opportunity).
But wait! I have it! An epiphany! A revelation! The perfect Solution!
It is a solution that will make everyone happy and solve the conference's woes. Allow current BE football playing members to be football-only members in the new super-conferences and play the rest of their sports in the BE. Notre Dame has set the precedent and surely the fine upstanding Catholic presidents will grant current football schools the same Special Dispensation they gave Notre Dame.
Notre Dame will be happy. It can remain independent and still play in the BE.
The basketball-only schools will be happy. No new basketball members and they can retain their existing members.
The football playing schools will be happy. They can tap into that conference media money and not have to share with the BE. They will not have to worry about the long travel expenses of their basketball and non-revenue sports. Everything will be status quo. Gosh! Rutgers and Uconn could join the Pac 12 and form the Atlantic-Pacific conference. The first trans-continental conference!
The super-conferences would be happy, new media markets in football and no headaches after football season.
Perhaps the presidents of the Catholic Basketball League aren't the myopic morons, I had thought. I'll bet this was what those intelligent presidents' planned all along, but being so elite, they didn't think it had to be shared with the rest of the world. But then, that would, still make them shortsighted idiots!
Wouldn't it?
