Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina and Santiago, Chile
Dates: January 2 -17, 2015; Wednesday evenings 5:45-9:05PM during Fall B-Term
Term: 2014 Fall 2 – 8 weeks
Objective: This course introduces students to the design and use of costing systems to support key operating and strategic decisions of business firms. Accounting 3001 is an opportunity for students to fulfill Carlson School's Functional Core accounting course (ACCT 3001) with study in the United States, Argentina, and Chile, both founding members of the United Nations and the Union of South American Nations.
This program is open to U of M undergraduate students in good academic standing, with a GPA of 3.0 at the time of application. Students must also have completed ACCT 2050 before 2014 Fall Semester. The application process is competitive and space is limited. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance.
Buenos Aires is the capital and largest city of Argentina, and the second-largest metropolitan area in South America. As the political, financial, industrial, and commercial hub of Argentina, the city is also known for its European style architecture and rich cultural life. Located on the eastern edge of the Pampa, Argentina's most productive agricultural region, and linked with Uruguay, Paraguay, and Brazil by a great inland river system, the city is the distribution hub and trade outlet in South America.
Santiago is Chile's capital city, and the center of commerce for the country. It is a modern city and serves as the regional headquarters to many multinational companies including Minnesota-based 3M, Ecolab, and Cargill. Due to its location on fault lines, Santiago has a limited number of buildings remaining from Spanish colonial times, so the city has a modern architectural feel.
The program starts with a city tour and welcome dinner in Buenos Aires. The first week includes guest lectures and company visits in Buenos Aires and then the group transfers to Santiago, Chile for the second half of the program where there will be additional guest lectures and company visits. Included in the program is also time for a small amount of independent exploration in both Argentina and Chile.
Please contact the Carlson Global Institute office if you woudl like to see a sample schedule.
Students will stay in double or triple rooms with students of the same gender at a centrally-located hotel in Buenos Aires, Mendoza, and Santiago. Because networking and community-building are key parts of the program, students will not have the option of a single room. Guests are not permitted during the program. Breakfast will be provided daily at the hotels. A welcome dinner and closing dinner are also provided.

Symptoms of Aspergillosis
What are the Symptoms of Aspergillosis?
The different kinds of aspergillosis can cause different symptoms.
Symptoms of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) may include:
- Wheezing
- Coughing
- Fever (in rare cases)
Symptoms of invasive aspergillosis may include:
- Fever
- Chest pain
- Coughing
- Shortness of breath
- Aspergilloma, or "fungus ball"
Other symptoms may develop if the infection spreads beyond the lungs. When invasive aspergillosis spreads outside of the lungs, it can cause symptoms in almost any organ. If you have symptoms that you think are related to aspergillosis, contact your doctor.

Mark Berndt: Teacher Accused of Playing Sex Games with Kids
Bad Teacher?
A Los Angeles elementary school teacher accused of playing weird sex games with unsuspecting kids might have gone undiscovered if it weren't for an old-fashioned habit: In an age when many people shoot digital photos print them out themselves or just leave them on the computer, Mark Berndt allegedly brought 35-mm film photos of bound and gagged kids to a drugstore to be developed.
Now Berndt is being held on 23 counts of lewd conduct. He's pleaded not guilty through court-appointed lawyer Victor Acevedo. Unable to make the $23 million dollar bail — one million for each of the children he allegedly tied up or fed cockroaches or semen — Berndt is being kept away from the general jail population for his own safety.
The Los Angeles Unified School District has fired Berndt — but still pays the former Miramonte Elementary teacher nearly $4,000 a month on top of the $40,000 that convinced him to leave quietly. As reports of Berndt's alleged creepy predilections and the continuing payouts make the news and other area teachers are accused of predatory behavior, a scandal has developed, forcing LA Unified to reconsider how it responds to teacher misconduct — and disrupting the lives of Miramonte's 85 teachers and 1,400 students.
Photos Tell a Sickening Story
Mark Berndt, now 61, started teaching at Miramonte Elementary in 1979. He lived most of this time in a Torrance apartment complex he owns with his sister.
The K-6 school is in Florence-Firestone, an unincorporated area south of downtown Los Angeles. 98% of the school's students are Latino, many the children of Mexican and Central American immigrants. Florence-Firestone is a low-income neighborhood: All of the school's students are eligible for reduced-price or free lunches.
The school's standardized test performance has been poor. But it has some devoted teachers, dedicated to helping kids succeed.
Mark Berndt might have seemed to be one of the good ones. Many of his students and their parents kept in touch long after the kids graduated. They'd later tell reporters about the games he led in class to "reward" his students, and they'd recall the quiet, solitary man's blue Volkswagen Beetle, and his love of classical music and the Mojave Desert and camping.
But reports that he'd drive his favorite students to the desert in that blue VW bug now take on an ominous ring. And the classroom games are looking to be something truly disturbing.
And it's all thanks to an anonymous photo-processor.

Good job Kirk.
Sam weighs in on Bosh, Kirk and the Derrick Rose thing...Assuming any of this was actually done, it would seem to me it was the schools orchestrating it and the schools who are the villains, not the player, who, by the way, wasn't paid while the university collected millions. As I wrote before, Rose could have played at the Y last year and been the No, 1 pick in the draft. He didn't have to go to Memphis. Do you think it's every South Side kid's dream to be there? It's amazing to hear the self righteous blather about this from a bunch of people I often hear asking Rose for all sorts of favors. Maybe if we were in the U.S., people would wait until there was some actual proof.
The Chicago Bulls are reportedly heavily shopping Tyrus Thomas around the league, trying to see what kind of value they can get for him after the solid season he's coming off of. It appears that they don't see him fitting into their long-term plans as he's too similar to Joakim Noah, and they aren't interested in giving him a long-term deal that would put them over the luxury tax. It's possible the Bulls look to package Thomas and Hinrich together and land a big time power forward.http://www.draftexpress.com/blog/Jonathan-Givony/#NBA-Draft-Roundup-May-20-3224

Comments On Nov 18, 2012:I am on my second set of Dunlop Elite 3 Radial tires. On the first set I found that by maintaining an air pressure of 41/41 I was able to get 16,000 miles out of them before change-out was necessary. (1/32 of an inch tread pattern depth remaining). The majority of my riding is one up on straight, flat asphalt and concrete roads. Because of this, the 1-1/2 inch contact patch diminishes more than the edges.
The key to tire life is maintenance. Inspect the tires before each ride and insure they have the recommended air pressure using an accurate gauge. Another thing that determines tire life is to not exceed the weight rating. On the GL1800, if the combined weight of the rider, passenger, and cargo exceeds 425 pounds you may be overloading your motorcycle.
The 130/70R18 front tire has a rating of 600 pounds @ 41 pounds air pressure and the 180/60R16 rear tire has a rating of 992 pounds @ 41 pounds air pressure.
Underinflated tires will result in higher running temperatures, irregular tread wear and affect handling which could cause accident, injury or death. Overinflating tires do not increase load-carrying capacity, but will result in a hard ride and accelerated tire wear in the center of the contact patch which makes them noisy.
Ride safe and use the tire the manufacturer recommends for your particular motorcycle.

The price was excellent after shopping all over. It shipped same day and was on my porch two days later. Thanks Rocky Mountain. You Guys Rock

Many states face ongoing challenges in assuring access to medical care services for their citizens living in rural areas. Insufficient Medicare payments and low patient volume have made it particularly difficult for many rural facilities to attract and retain qualified health care providers. In response to these challenges, Congress has enacted a variety of incentive programs to encourage providers to practice in rural areas.
One such program is the anesthesia rural "pass-through" program; a program created as an incentive for anesthesia providers to practice in small rural hospitals. Under the "pass-through" program, eligible hospitals may use reasonable-costs based Part A funds in lieu of the conventional Part B fee schedule to induce anesthesia providers such as anesthesiologist assistants (a type of physician assistant) and nurse anesthetists to provide anesthesia services in small rural hospitals and critical access facilities. Under the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) current interpretation of the statute creating the "pass-through" program, eligible rural hospitals are not permitted to use the "pass-through" funds to employ or contract with anesthesiologists. Low Medicare Part B anesthesia payments and low patient volume in rural areas also make it difficult for rural hospitals to retain anesthesia providers.
August, Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Senator Johnny Isakson (R-GA), members of the powerful U.S. Senate Finance Committee, introduced S. 1444, the "Medicare Access to Rural Anesthesiology Act of 2013," legislation to reform the current Medicare rural anesthesia incentive program to include physician anesthesiologists. The legislation would permit certain small, low volume rural hospitals to attract and retain medically-trained anesthesiologist to practice in medically underserved areas. 1444 grants rural hospitals enhanced flexibility to use the services of physician anesthesiologists, in addition to the services of anesthesiologist assistants and nurse anesthetists, to best serve their patients surgical anesthesia needs. ASA strongly endorses the Wyden-Isakson legislation as an important mechanism to increase rural patients' access to high quality, comprehensive, medically managed anesthesia services provided by physician anesthesiologists.
Current law allows some rural hospitals to use reasonable-cost Medicare Part A "pass-through" funds to employ or contract with anesthesiologist assistants and nurse anesthetists. According to CMS, the "pass-through" arrangement cannot be used for anesthesiologists.
In 2010, the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), through formal comment, requested that CMS permit rural hospitals to use the rural pass-through arrangement for anesthesiologists, as well as the other providers. CMS responded that it cannot permit hospitals to use the pass-through arrangement for anesthesiologists without a change in the current law.

Wards closing at Wycombe Hospital this week (From Bucks Free Press)

Hospital wards closing at Queen Alexandra Road this week
10:36am Wednesday 14th November 2012 in News By Lawrence Dunhill
TWO wards are being closed at Wycombe Hospital this week as part of a controversial NHS shake-up in Bucks.
Specialist staff in wards 3b and 6b - both in the tower block at Queen Alexandra Road - are transferring to Stoke Mandeville Hospital, as part of plans agreed earlier this year.
This means patients needing an overnight stay for acute medicine for older people, diabetes, respiratory or gastroenterology services will be now be directed to Stoke Mandeville.
About 90 patients per week will be affected, but health bosses say the move is aimed to "ensure patients continue to receive safe and high quality services".
Focussing staff in fewer locations is seen as a more cost-effective way of delivering specialist care – though health chiefs argue also it will also improve care by increasing the presence of senior doctors on the wards.
However, campaigners still reeling from the recent loss of Wycombe Hospital's A&E and maternity wards have criticised the plans - arguing a town of Wycombe's size should warrant a 'fully-functioning' acute hospital.
There are also fears that Stoke Mandeville will not be able to cope with the extra patients. The number of beds at Stoke will remain the same, but health chiefs say this fits in with drives to reduce the time patients spend in hospital and to deliver more care at home.
Bosses stress that medical outpatients can still be seen at Wycombe Hospital, in a new assessment unit, while a 'step-down' ward has been created on 5b – for inpatients who do not require as much attention from specialist doctors.
Wycombe Hospital also retains some specialist services such as heart attack and stroke care.
The latest changes follow the closure of Wycombe's emergency room last month – which has been replaced by a Minor Injury and Illness Unit (see related links).
Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, which runs the hospitals, said in a statement: "Staff have been planning and preparing over the past few months to ensure the changes happen as smoothly as possible.
"Prior to the ward moves, staff plan to discharge patients who are fit to leave hospital and only move those requiring ongoing care or treatment.
"Patients at Wycombe who require nursing care but no longer need specialist medical treatment will stay at Wycombe on the new step-down ward.
"Patients who need to transfer to Stoke Mandeville will be assessed thoroughly before being moved and will be accompanied by a member of staff in an ambulance. All patients and their next of kin are being kept informed throughout."

Never mind, at least our local MP can help stop this from happening.. No hang on a moment - I remember now.. He said "That it's unreasonable to ask for our lost wards such as A&E and Maternity back".
So - no help from Mr Steve Baker MP then..

Someone I know personally took his wife to the the hospital this weekend with a heart problem. It's been seen before hence it need quick attention. The doctors at the pathetic excuse for a A&E department said they could not admit her and suggested he take her to Stoke Mandeville and refused to even provide an ambulance.
Needless to say he walked outside the building, Called 999, summoned an ambulance who turned up with twos and blues. The paramedic took the lady on board, did some tests and admitted her urgently to Wycombe Hospital.
You call this efficient use of the overstretched service?
Wycombe is a large town and close to the motorway - it needs a full A&E not the pathetic excuse it has been given.

We must fight this, if not for our future for our children's future.
Yes I understand that its hard times but I'm fed up in seeing this and previous Governments ruin our hospital and run rough shod over our town.
This is morally wrong and it's messing with people's lives.

Wycombe is an expanding town with its population growing daily,and these short sighted narrow minded cretins are gradually closing our hospital,what the hell are we paying N.I and council tax for?
Maybe if they stopped paying immigrants who come here and dont work but bleed our system of money,just to sit on frogmoor and get drunk and harass people,and stopped supporting immigrant women that come here for free child birth and child benefit,then maybe we could afford to keep our hospital.

To a developer, the hospital land and that of Staples, must be worth a futune, many millions of pounds at a guess. Could get several luxury dwellings in there. Drive straight up the hill and you're on the motorway into London. In work in no time at all. In 2020 to 2025 we will see. Whatever you do, make sure you don't need hospital treatment urgently.
You could sell it all and illegally build a football ground on it, what with all that carpark and everything.
You could call it Loakes Park even!

If you wind your stupid neck in and try to see the woods for the trees you may just see daylight and realise we are an island and can ony sustain a certain amount,I have no problem with any race, colour,creed or religion coming into this country as long as they work and pay their way, and not keep sponging off our goverment to get money to buy booze and get drunk on frogmoor,if we did not have to keep giving these scroungers money there just might be enough to keep our hospital open.

As usual we are all being railroaded and bullied by central goverment and the local council.
Wycombe is an expanding town with its population growing daily,and these short sighted narrow minded cretins are gradually closing our hospital,what the hell are we paying N.I and council tax for?
Maybe if they stopped paying immigrants who come here and dont work but bleed our system of money,just to sit on frogmoor and get drunk and harass people,and stopped supporting immigrant women that come here for free child birth and child benefit,then maybe we could afford to keep our hospital.

A significant factor for the struggling NHS is not only the arrogance and incompetence of senior managers/doctors but also the deliberate, deceitful and unmandated flooding of thes islands with some 4 MILLION immigrants by Tony blair and the Labour Party -
Map this number onto (say) the USA equivalend land mass and you would have 170 MILLION immigrants -
That indicates the sheer scale of the problem we face...
We do not have the resources to deal with that number of extra people - and the situation will not get betterr - how can it?
The sinking standards of healthcare as seen in Wycombe are just a pre-cursor to absolute chaos to come.
Thank you to Tony Blair and the Labour Party for deeding this to us and to our future generaitons.

OMG this was my movie! Jason's Lyric, starring Jada Pinkett-Smith and Allen Payne, is a film about one man's struggle to choose between his love for Lyric (Jada) and the life they could potentially share together, and the responsibility and loyalty he feels toward his troubled family.
I watch all types of movies — if you haven't already noticed my Sunday movie genres can be pretty random, LOL. But this one in particular I absolutely die for! I watched it almost everyday one summer.
Anyway, watch the trailer and let me know what you think.

Most of you have known me for quite a while, but I thought I would put this for the benefit of the newbies. According to the kids, I am a geezer, since I was born in 1948. I was raised on a farm in the Mo. hills, and drove Farmall H tractors from the time I was able to slide off the seat and hit the brakes, till I left the farm when i got married. Thanks to the work and generosity of some of the members of this forum, Dad's H that he bought used in 1947 has returned to me, in beautiful condition.
I bought my first cub a little over 20 years ago when I needed something sturdier than a riding lawnmower for the ground where I lived. I still own it, plus a second one with several implements. I still live in the Mo. hills, on a small piece of ground that came off our family farm. I am no longer able to work for a living, or to do more than minor maintenance on my tractors, but I really enjoy this forum and the cub get togethers, as well as about any antique tractor gathering. I am a prime example of the saying, "If you can't do it, talk about it."

Continue Your Journey to Success
VIDEO :: QuickTime (4.9M)
Georgia Tech launched the FOCUS recruiting program in 1991 with the goal of increasing the number of master's and doctoral degrees awarded to minorities not only at Georgia Tech but also nationwide. FOCUS lays the groundwork for achieving this goal by bringing together minority undergraduates and high school students to meet with faculty, graduate students, alumni, and speakers from the corporate and government arenas. These experiences are designed to demonstrate to minority students how a graduate degree in science or technology can open the door to a life-changing career in academia, industry, or government.
During FOCUS weekend, participants visit classrooms and research labs in their areas of interest and talk with the students and faculty who live the Georgia Tech experience every day. Participants can also get information about the process of applying to graduate school.
The main goal of FOCUS is to give prospective minority graduate students–and any student who will find the program beneficial–an opportunity to visit Georgia Tech and Atlanta and receive an overview of the graduate degree programs. We hope this visit will encourage each student to pursue an advanced degree at the Georgia Tech or any other graduate school of their choice.
As the only technologically focused institution listed among the nation's top ten public universities (U.S. News & World Report), Georgia Tech can offer a graduate education of the very highest caliber. Even if you ultimately choose not to attend Georgia Tech, we hope that you will participate in FOCUS and be inspired to pursue a graduate degree. When you realize your dream of becoming a leader in science and technology, then we at FOCUS will have achieved our goal.
In addition to STEM programs, Georgia Tech has innovative interdisciplinary programs in the humanities and social sciences, including digital media, international affairs, and public policy.
The FOCUS agenda has two components corresponding to the various groups invited to attend:
FOCUS Scholars is designed to increase the awareness of undergraduate juniors and seniors of the benefits of receiving an advanced degree. The Scholars receive an overview of Georgia Tech's graduate degree programs, a review of financial sources, and assistance in the application and decision-making process involved with selecting a graduate school.
FOCUS Alumni brings together nearly twenty-five former FOCUS Scholars each year who received advanced degrees from Georgia Tech to serve as distinguished role models. Their attendance and participation is a key component toward encouraging high school, undergraduate, and graduate students to pursue higher education and careers in academia. Alumni panels are convened to cover topics such as academic and industry careers, and entrepreneurship, among others.

Sometimes compromising works best for all involved and Blackhawk fans will be hoping the same. To start this season it appears there has been a meeting of the minds between head coach Joel Quenneville and GM Stan Bowman.
In the past, Bowman has promoted the idea of Patrick Kane playing center on the second line. Quenneville has been a staunch supporter of Dave Bolland being used as the third line center. It also seemed as if Coach Q was lukewarm about Kane moving to center from wing. If not, it took quite awhile for Quenneville to go in that direction.
So at the first Hawks practice on Sunday, a compromise of some fashion seems to have taken place. Bolland was centering the second line and his wingers were Kane and Patrick Sharp. My thinking is Bolland will respond to the challenge and do fine in a more offensive role. Kane and Sharp have great chemistry and should work well together.
Quenneville preferred Bolland on the third line because it gave his team a match-up advantage. As has been pointed out, last year when the Hawks focused on defense they were not a scoring juggernaut. Maybe playing Bolland up a slot will provide more offense and Quenneville believes this is a necessary trade off.
The bigger issue is whether playing time will be slanted even more so toward the top two lines. With the compacted schedule this may have been the time to look for the third line to play a greater role. Time will tell if Quenneville will allocate ice time in a more even fashion this season.
The heir apparent to Bolland's checking line pivot position is Andrew Shaw. It didn't come as a complete shock Shaw was going to be moved from wing to center because that was his role with the Rockford Ice Hogs of late.
Maybe Marcus Kreuger's star has lost some luster with Quenneville, as he will see action on the fourth line it appears. At first blush I do have some trepidation about Shaw being used on a checking line.
In my mind, Shaw can be more than a role player, he can be an important part of the Blackhawks. That is if he can control his emotions and stay on the ice. The key will be whether Shaw will be able to frustrate his opponent, effectively check, plus stay out of the penalty box. If so, his latest assignment could work out well but there are other question marks concerning the newly formed third line.
Can Bryan Bickell become more consistent? Will Viktor Stalberg be able to play a two-way game?
Bickell needs to play to his size to be most effective. If that doesn't happen he won't get another contract from Bowman after this season is over. Stalberg is in an even more interesting position.
My feeling is Stalberg should be played as a first or second line forward now or be used as part of trade. After this season, Stalberg is an unrestricted free agent and may look to leave Chicago for a chance to play as a top six forward. If Stalberg were to flourish in a top six role here and build off his 20 goal season, the Hawks would at least know more about his offensive capabilities. Stalberg has a nice shot and outstanding speed, not exactly qualities looked for in a checking line player.
Capturing the left wing position on the top line is Daniel Carcillo, another player being cast in an interesting role. Obviously Carcillo is a Bowman favorite. Hockey logic points to the same as shortly after suffering a serious season-ending knee injury, Carcillo was re-signed to a two-year contract extension.
It isn't often a player of Carcillo's stature is quickly inked to a two-year contract extension so soon after knee surgery. Bowman put a high value on Carcillo and gave him a two-year deal before he could even run up a flight of stairs. Maybe Bowman is correct, after all the Hawks had a very nice record last season with "Car Bomb" in the lineup.
It seems at least to start, Bowman and Quenneville believe Carcillo can play a physical role and also be able to skate with two of the more skilled players in Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa. Can Carcillo escape the scrutiny of the officials is a bigger question. Carcillo, like Shaw has to stay on the ice while being able to frustrate opponents.
To compound Carcillo's task he is not a favorite of NHL officials who seem to hold a grudge, at least in his case. It will take a lot for them to give Carcillo a fair shake. Although Carcillo deserves his reputation he does gets scrutinized more than most.
To wrap up the offense the fourth line of Jamal Mayers, Krueger and Michael Frolik is an interesting blend. We will have to see how often they are on the ice, but I do like Mayers at wing instead of center. Playing wing is less taxing and maybe it will pay dividends for him later. In each of the last two season Mayers hasn't been a factor in the playoffs when his experience could be a benefit. Most likely Brandon Bollig will see some action when his size and toughness is needed. Time will tell if Brandon Saad or other Ice Hogs will crack the big club lineup.
Bowman, like most general managers, would like to give his guys a chance to succeed before making any trades. By design that is the popular program, after all a GM is the one who puts together the roster so initially it is logical to give them a chance to do well.
Waiting some before making roster changes makes sense but the general managers who recognize deficiencies the quickest will have the best chance to succeed. This will be especially true in a shorter season.
Al's Shots
No matter what the line combinations are going to be the Hawks do have a sore spot. There is only Toews that can be considered as a very good face off man.
Because Toews is so much better than everyone else he is on the ice taking faceoffs more than he should be. At some point that does take a toll and hopefully another player or two will step up and win over 50 percent of their faceoffs.
On Friday, we will take a look at the defensemen as well as the schedule. I will also discuss the goalkeeping and preview the season opener.

I quit to end 'press vendetta' says Gasper
Updated 10:31am Wednesday 30th January 2013 in News
UK INDEPENDENCE Party activist Dr Julia Gasper said she resigned as Oxford party chairman to end a "press vendetta" against her.
The former chairman of the Oxford branch of UKIP said claims that she had been sacked from the party and from her position were untrue.
Dr Gasper was recently accused of making homophobic comments on a party members' forum.
It was claimed she branded gay rights as a "lunatics' charter" and said some homosexuals prefer sex with animals.
She said: "I have not been chucked out of UKIP, I have offered to step down as chairman of the local branch in the belief that this is best for the party.
"However there is a procedure to be followed and until the next meeting in February they can't officially accept my resignation.
"The point of it is not to punish me, but simply to put an end to the press vendetta against me."
UKIP spokesman Gawain Towler last week confirmed Dr Gasper's position was "under review" after the comments were leaked to a national newspaper.

Sound designer Dan Moses Schreier was a double winner at the second annual Craig Noel Awards for Excellence in Theatre, presented by the San Diego Theatre Critics Circle Jan. 26, 2004, at the San Diego Natural History Museum in Balboa Park. Schreier won for both sound design and original music on the Old Globe production of Julius Caesar.
The Old Globe's production of Joe Penhall's Blue/Orange, La Jolla Playhouse's production of Francesca Faridany's adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler's novella Fräulein Else and Renaissance Theatre Company's production of A View From the Bridge were voted top productions, though only Else also received design kudos.
Formed in 1983, the San Diego Theatre Critics Circle handed out annual awards from 1984 to 1993, then dissolved. But in December 2001, Anne Marie Welsh, theater critic at the San Diego Union-Tribune, proposed re-forming the organization and renaming the awards for Noel, 86, who is widely acknowledged as the founding father of San Diego's theatrical community. The awards tend to present more than one award in each category.
More than 275 people attended the event, at which Craig Noel--as he did at the first ceremony in 2003--handed plaques to all the winners.
Winners in the design categories are as follows:
Holly Poe Durbin, Time Flies, The Old Globe
Anna Oliver, Fräulein Else, La Jolla Playhouse
Katherine Roth, Rough Crossing, The Old Globe
Joan Arhelger, Fräulein Else, La Jolla Playhouse
Mike Buckley, Detective Story, Lamb's Players Theatre
York Kennedy, Pentecost, The Old Globe

Cooperstown Crier
---- — Cooperstown third-graders said they were really nervous while performing circus acts in front of the entire school Friday.
Nathan Grover may have had the most daunting task — walking on a tight wire blindfolded. He said he was excited to do it, but scared at the same time.
Although the students had a full week to learn their performances, Nathan said he felt pretty comfortable with his act about half way through. According to Nathan, students were told what they would be mastering for the show, and he is glad he was chosen to be a tight wire performer.
"I was really excited about it," he said.
The National Circus Project sent two circus artist residents, Little Lou Beekhuizen and Liam Selvey, to stay in Cooperstown for a week. Juggling, stilt walking, acrobats, plate spinning, Chinese yo-yoing, devil stick flipping, balancing and more were all a part of Circus Week activities, which wrapped up with a third-grade final performance Friday.
Workshops, introducing elements of the circus arts, were offered to every student as part of the physical education class, according to PE teacher Connie Herzig.
She said the third-graders were the target group. They were able to go to the gym twice a day for more-serious study, she added.
"They were just absolutely amazing," Herzig said after the final performance. "I am just so proud of them all."
Herzig said she was nervous at certain points while watching the performance.
"You never know how it is going to go, and you get individually excited and supportive for each kid," she said. "It went off beautifully and I am extremely proud of them all."
It has been such a growth experience for the students, continued Herzig. Although the students will not likely grow up to be jugglers or circus performers of any kind, Herzig said the experience will build their self confidence for whatever they do in the future. They will go out and do public speaking and some will become business men and women, and this will help them to learn to practice something and then be able to go out and present it, she said.
"At this age, it is so important to them to have an opportunity to gain skills, to get confidence in themselves and to be able to perform what they have learned in front of a supportive audience," Herzig added.
Cooper Guzy was a part of the balance team during the performance and said he found it hard to learn to balance things.
"I was really nervous," said Cooper, who had family members watching in the audience.
"It was exciting to perform in front of my family. It was a great experience," he continued.
Emma Pastor was also a part of the balancing team.
"We practiced with Little Lou and she was a good teacher," she said.
Emma said she was nervous before the performance but felt good once it was all over.
"It was a good experience," she said.
The stilts were the hardest thing to balance, according to Madison Hayes. During practice, she said, she learned to balance other items such as foam noodles and feathers.
Abe Lippitt played a clown during the performance. He said, "I was very nervous and I just did not want to mess up. I just wanted to be perfect, so I just tried to go with the flow."
"We just did what she (Little Lou) told us, and I think we did a great job," he added.
Abe said it was a wonderful experience and he hopes the district brings the project back for other students in the future.
Herzig said the goal is to have the National Circus Project back again.
"We have made a commitment to have it back sooner than eight years," she said. "We had it eight years ago, and it is an expensive program, but so many children, all the kids K-6, benefit from it."
The elementary school was able to host Circus Week this year thanks to donations from the parent teacher association and an anonymous donor.
Founded in 1984, The National Circus Project is an organization with a mission to introduce the circus arts to students all over the U.S. It has been presenting circus programs in schools, summer camps and facilities throughout the northeastern part of the country for the past 25 years.
Teaching circus arts is not something new at Cooperstown Elementary, however. Herzig said she brought the idea with her when she joined the staff 21 years ago.
"We do an entire unit each year," she said. "We do some things with kindergarten, first- and second-graders, but we really start things up when students reach the third-grade. They continue through middle and high school."
The goal is to encourage more in-depth exploration into the circus arts, Herzig said.
"Circus arts are a wonderful avenue for non-traditional sports," she said. "It also helps kids to learn to develop avenues in the non-traditional sports areas. It encourages balance, it encourages coordination, including hand-eye-coordination, it encourages kids to be able to explore talents that they were unaware of."

The New York Giants picked Virginia Tech cornerback Jayron Hosely with the 31st pick in the third round, pick number 94 overall. He joins a Big Blue draft class that features running back David Wilson, also from Virginia Tech, and receiver Rueben Randle of LSU.
The Oakland Raiders made their first pick of the 2012 NFL Draft, a compensatory selection awarded to them for free agent losses in 2011. They gave their other picks to Cincinnati in the Carson Palmer deal. And with their first pick in the draft, the 95th overall selection, the Raiders picked Utah offensive tackle Tony Bergstrom. He should help keep Palmer upright in 2012.

---- — LONDONDERRY — It's a mountainous task, but Tom Bever is up for the challenge.
The Londonderry man is planning the hike of a lifetime to raise awareness for those needing help with family issues, parenting skills, juvenile issues and mental health.
Bever takes to the Appalachian Trail next month to support The Upper Room family resource center in Derry.
The Appalachian Trail is approximately 2,168 miles long and runs from Springer Mountain, Ga., to Mount Katahdin in Maine. Bever will begin his hike March 13 and hopes to complete his journey by Aug. 1.
He wants to raise upward of $10,000 for The Upper Room.
Bever, 24, began hiking with family members when he was 3 years old, heading up the 4,300-foot Mount Osceola in New Hampshire's White Mountains. He kept up pretty well, he said.
That early hike nurtured a love of the mountains. He said he couldn't wait to do more as he got older, including someday tackling the Appalachian Trail.
"I continued to hike New Hampshire mountains and check them off my list," he said. "One time, when I was little , we were were hiking on part of the Appalachian Trail in Vermont and I told (my aunt) I was going to hike the whole trail. I've stuck to my goal and finally have the chance to experience it."
Bever forged many strong relationships with friends who loved the mountains as much as he did. He joined an outdoor club in high school. At Plymouth University, he had the opportunity to hike in the state's North Country.
He has hiked extensively — glaciers in Alaska, the Grand Tetons, an active volcano in New Zealand.
"I plan on hiking 20 miles a day, some days more, some days less," he said.
It's a trip of a lifetime and Bever said he is excited.
"The reason I decided to do it now is because last summer, I thought to myself, I just want to hike every summit I can see to see what's over it or what's next," he said. "Hiking the Appalachian Trail will give me the satisfaction of that goal."
Bever said nothing compares.
"It's absolutely awesome," he said. "I have a lot of friends who are urbanized and never set foot in the woods. I love telling people what I'm planning on doing, and I even have friends who have bet on me backing out. To prove them wrong gives me that much more motivation. Any journey like this also shows people how much dedication and will I have as a person."
Bever said his life course could change once this journey ends.
"I recently came to the realization that after the Appalachian Trail I'm going to need to find work in the mountains as it would be tough to go back to an 8 to 5 sales job in an office."
People can donate to Bever's hike through urteachers.org or by sending checks made out to "The Upper Room" directly to him at 17 Premier Drive, Londonderry, 03053.

A DeKalb County road was flooded on Sunday, but it wasn't due to the recent rains. The river of water was supposed to be ending up in sinks, showers and toilets, but for about 1,500 residents along Stone Mountain Lithonia Road near Rockbridge Road, it was ending up in the roadway.Residents say they have been without power since the very early morning hours on Sunday. Many woke for morning services to find they didn't have water to get ready.Officials say someone struck a fire hydrant that caused water main leak. It took them all day Sunday to figure out how to attack and cap the leak, but warned that nearly 2,500 households could be without water on Monday morning.

If the district wins, which is a long shot, the district should explore the idea of building a high school on the site instead. There are not enough young children to support an elementery school in that area.
Also, I believe the legal bill for the district is over 2 million and counting.
The board is going to look pretty bad if they loose.

I completely disagree with Rick. Vintage hills school was constructed to service the Vintage hills neighborhood. Why should the school and neighborhood be overloaded by the construction of more than 1,000 homes in the vineyard corridor? A greedy developer should not be left off the hook for building a school to service the multi-million neighborhoods they construct. The city should prohibit further construction by these developers until the school is completed.

"McKeehan's testimony was continued to the afternoon court session after a lunch break. But just as a cross examination by the school district attorneys began, the courthouse went black,"
Could this have been an act of God for the deceit in Mr. McKeehan's testimony. Everyone that watched the negotiations saw him commit to building that school for 8.5 mil. making cute quips about his wife's role as our City Manager at the time.

Since then I have made quite a few for myself, gotten friends and family to make books, and use blurb when teaching my courses in artist bookmaking and photography and whenever I teach study abroad classes. Blurb democratized bookmaking for the rest of us and for that I am grateful. Thank you Eileen.
