Continuation =
Mr. Danevich thanked the applicant for making the ten changes requested at the last meeting.&nbs= p; He noted that information was added that indicated the advantages of= a new system: 1) septic tank will be 50ft. from well as opposed to 40ft.- improves bad condition making it better; 2) leach field is an additional 10= ft. further from well; and 3) new field down slope from the well – effluent will drain away from well.
Mr. Gleason confirmed that the measurement of 32ft. wa=
s from
the center of the well to the edge of the external wall of the building.
There was no public inpu= t.

= o:p>
Mr. Danevich said he was trying to orientate himself t= o the plan; it appeared there were two different houses that appeared to be using= the same septic. Mr. Dingman said= there were two different houses and two different systems; lot 147 had a tank and pump chamber that pumped up to the existing leach field; the existing house= for lot 160 feeds gravity down across Andover Street to the large proposed Clean Solutions treatment tank. He briefly described the proposed system.&nbs= p; Mr. Danevich further reviewed the plan and confirmed that the waiver request was only for the one well the system passed. It was noted that a second waiver = was needed for the owner's well also.&nb= sp; Mr. Danevich said he would like the plan clarified because as presen= ted, it was difficult to determine what was being requested. Mr. Zarnowski asked that the appli= cant define the limits of the abutting lot (owner name and address, map & lot number) so it was clearer as well as having a setback arrow (indicating footage) from the abutting well to the sewer line.
Donna and Jay Bibeau,
Mr. Zarnowski said the scale on the plan showed the pr= oposed sewer line to be approximately 30ft. from the Bibeau's well and approximately 12ft from the on-site well.&= nbsp;
Mr. Bibeau said he had lived at the location for approximately 20 years and noted that the abutter dug their well approximat= ely two years ago. Ms. Bibeau ask= ed who granted the waivers and wanted to know who would be liable if there was a problem to their well. Mr. Zarnowski described what was being proposed and the fact that both pipes wo= uld be pressure tested. Mr. Dingm= an noted that the pipe-in-pipe system had been a state standard for wetland crossings etc. Ms. Bibe= au asked how long the proposed system had been in effect and tested how long it took for the outside pipe to let go once the inner pipe failed. Mr. Dingman said the double pipe s= ystem had been used by the state (on and off) for approximately 35 years. He said to the best of his abiliti= es every setback that was obtainable was designed into the system; the waiver = was being requested because of the lot sizes and proximities.
Mr. Domenico asked what condition the existing septic = was in. Mr. Zarnowski said it was= in relatively poor shape located on the line.= Mr. Domenico confirmed that the existing system fell within the radi= us of the two existing wells. Mr. Zarnowski answered yes. Ms. B= ibeau said the abutter's property had never been a year-round property and = the system wasn't meant to facilitate that type of use. She said the property was a season= al camp. Mr. Zarnowski explained= that the system had been designed to make the best of the situation. He wanted to know what depth the s= ewer line would be and if it would take the wheel load. Mr. Dingman said the specification= at the lower note was that the line was to be buried at a minimum grade of 4-f= eet below the surface of the road and have foam and thermal barrier placed over= the entire crossing. Ms. Bibeau n= oted that the road washed away and they lost footage (sand) yearly; periodically= new material was added. Mr. Bibeau informed that there was a lot of rock in the area. Mr. Dingman said they performed te= st pits which had been witnessed; they had above and below system criteria of 8-feet of natural material and no bedrock was encountered.
Mr. Zarnowski said in summary the decision was whether=
keep a system with no treatment and may not be adequate in size for the cur=
use of the site or to put something that would be adequately sized providing
proper treatment to the site. He
didn't see any other way to further protect the abutter's
well. Ms. Bibeau said if the =
was to remain a summer camp there were alternate systems, such as a composi=
system. Her concern was
contamination to her well and devaluation of her home. She said it the system was allowed=
abutter would want to make the property year-round. Mr. Zarnowski said he had a docume=
from the Town indicating the property was year-round. Ms. Bibeau said she also had a doc=
Mr. Bergeron questioned if the Board granted a waiver = who would be liable (owner or the Town) in the event the system failed. Mr. Zarnowski didn't have the answer. He said the state had= no regulation regarding the setback. He said it may be advisable for the abutter to work something out wi= th the current owner; cases of contamination are difficult to determine. Mr. Bergeron said he wanted to kno= w the status of the property, whether it was seasonal or year-round.
Mr. Domenico asked how many bedrooms the propose syste= m was rated for. Mr. Dingman said i= t was rated for three. Mr. Domenico= said he didn't want a request to come later for an addition. Mr. Danevich said a stipulation co= uld be added to an approval.
Mr. Gaydos summarized the request as improving a situa= tion by placing a larger septic system away from the property, across the road a= nd that the larger septic system could accommodate three bedrooms. He said the question was what assu= rances are there that the construction wouldn't change over time. Mr. Dingman explained that he trie= d to design in at least 100% plus safety barriers to the design. Mr. Gaydos asked if there would be= more danger to the abutter's wells if the proposed system was not approved. Mr. Dingman believe= d that was correct. Ms. Bibeau sugge= sted that the applicant could use a composition system. Mr. Bibeau explained that the neighborhood was shaped like a horseshoe and the leach field was being prop= osed for the center of it; if it fails, there would be sewer in the center. Mr. Zarnowski explained how the sy= stem pre-treated effluent. Mr. Dingman said he= had provided the abutters with pamphlets explaining the Clean Solutions system.= He said the proposed would be a cl= eaner system than those in the area.
Ms. Bibeau questioned what purpose the proposed system= had if the property was only a camp. Mr. Dingman said it gave the neighborhood and the applicant a shot at the technologies now available. Ms. Bibeau said they could use a composition system. Mr. Dingman said the applicant didn't want a composition system, they wanted the best technology available.
Mr. Gleason asked if other areas were reviewed for a separate septic system. Mr. D= ingman answered no; the middle lot had the setbacks. Mr. Gleason asked if one system wo= uld service two separate residences. Mr. Dingman said there were two separate, independent systems on the center lot. Each home had its own independent system on the one lot. Mr. Gleason believed it was incumbent upon the applicant to convince= the abutter's that the proposed system was safe. He asked if there was any plan to periodically test the system to ascertain that there had not been a rupture= /break. Mr. Dingman said the way it would = be installed, it shouldn't rupture or break. Also, the pressure testing prior to installation would confirm that. Mr. Zarnowski said from what he had seen the engineer had done the b= est they could with the lot. He s= aid the wells could be periodically tested.&nb= sp; Mr. Gleason said even with periodic testing, the liability (if the waiver was granted) was on the Town.
Mr. Domenico asked if the tangent be directed to come = in another way with an easement on another property. Mr. Dingman said to his knowledge = an easement wouldn't be granted by the other abutter. Mr. Zarnowski said the best that c= ould be achieved is 40ft.
Mr. Danevich said the placement of the well on the Bibeau's property infringed upon the rights of the applicant. He said the applicant was trying t= o make an improvement by using the double pipe which he felt was a dramatic improvement to the current (which was already within the 75ft. well radius). He said the Town was= not in a position to guarantee nothing would happen, but Mr. Zarnowski could be contacted in the event something went wrong. He said he was trying to balance t= he applicant's request and the concerns of the abutter.
Mr. Bibeau reiterated that if his well became contamin= ated, he had no other location to put one. Ms. Bibeau said she believed the applicant's intention was to = make the lot year-round and sell the two properties together. She confirmed that the waiver came= from the Selectmen. Mr. Danevich answered yes.
Mr. Zarnowski suggested that the designer create a doc= ument showing the pros and cons for the existing versus the proposed. Mr. Danevich wanted to verify if t= he property was seasonal or year-round. He read aloud a memo from the Planning Department (a copy of which w= as provided to the Bibeaus) that indicated the property met the standards for a year-round occupancy. Mr. Bib= eau questioned how the property could be considered year-round based on its cur= rent condition. Mr. Danevich said = that issue was outside the scope of the Board of Health. Ms. Bibeau said her main negativit= y came from the fact that she received a letter requesting her to sign off on all = rights that the abutter would contaminate her well.
Mr. Danevich asked for the following: 1) letter determ= ining the house status – year-round or seasonal; 2) lot line shown on the p= lan; 3) add arrow depicting the abutter's well and distance to septic; 4) = add lot and map numbers for abutting parcels; 5) note that the plan is two bedr= oom and doesn't constitute any grounds for Board of Adjustment considerat= ion on expansion; 6) abutting septic systems be shown on plan (or their approxi= mate location). Mr. Gleason said he would like to see the applicant working with the abutters to explain the sy= stem to allay some of their fears. He said he would feel better about voting favorably if there was concurrence w= ith the abutters.

Mr. Bergeron addressed the Board and s= aid the following:
Danevich, Vice Chairman Gleason, Selectman Lynde if you're home watch=
and also, Selectman Domenico this being my last meeting, I thank you for the
unanimous consent to allow me to address you and the public here, the public
that are here and you that are watching from home. When I ran for Selectman in 2001, =
I ran
to serve the residents of the Town of
As a Selectman= I felt it was also important to the Town to be represented at other tables such as= the Merrimack Valley Regional Water District, as a Commissioner to the NRPC in Nashua, the Southern New Hampshire Hazmat District, CTAP, Context Sensitive Solution, Citizen Corps Council, Council on Aging and I attended Cemetery Trustee meetings.
It's bee= n an honor for me to work with this Board and other Selectmen over the last six years and even though we haven't always agreed with each other, we've always respected one another.&= nbsp; I often hear people say 'Selectmen, that's a thankless job'. Well until you do the job, you really don't know. For me, it's been= a thankful job. I was able to s= erve the residents of Pelham with the help of our Town Employees, Department Hea= ds, appointed Board members, Town volunteers, our Town Administrator, fellow Bo= ard members and members of other boards outside of the Town. I thank you all for your support a= nd service.
We recently le=
arned of
the resignation of Commissioner Carol Murray of the Department of
Transportation. She will be d=
and deeply missed by all. I w=
ant to
thank her for all her help, assistance, knowledge, wisdom and insight to the
Town of
I think a new = similar concept could be applied to any project in the Town, such as to existing la= nd, purchasing land, renovations, additions, existing buildings, new buildings = and even maintenance that is badly needed.&nbs= p; The concept first: identify and build consensus of the problems in a problem statement and then build a consensus to a solution that is affordab= le to all the citizens of the Town of Pelham; and now you're ready for a warrant article. <= /i>
The stakeholde=
rs in
Pelham are the 13,000 plus citizens of the Town of
Pelham And our disabled veterans. With the rising cost of insurance,
health care, fuel, utilities, medicine and property taxes, etc. etc. I beli=
the stake holders understand the difference between wants and needs and
what's affordable and what's not and we need to respect one
style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'> We often speak of it in Town, but =
about outside of Town. Our ro=
and bridges don't stop or end at our Town lines. They continue North, South, East a=
West. I have two regional con=

Board of Selectmen was made possible because of the support from my loving =

Thank you."=
The Selectmen each thank= ed Mr. Bergeron for his hard work and continuing dedication to the Town.
Mr. Danevich also thanke= d Mr. Lynde for his commitment and contributions to the Town.
Jim Greenw= ood, Cable Coordinator – Review and possible vote to adopt updated PTV Policies and Procedures
Mr. Jim Greenwood met with the Selectmen to review the proposed changes to the PTV Policies, which had not been updated since 1996. The Selectmen began discussing the proposed changes; it was decided that the Selectmen would forward feedback/proposed amendments to Mr. Greenwood and revisit the polic= y at a later date.
Discussion – Pelham CERT – Sanction as Town Agency
Mr. Gaydos said it was important that the Town have th=
e CERT
program. He looked at how eff=
other communities were in running their CERT programs; most of which were m=
effective when they are recognized as a volunteer Town Agency. He explained that the volunteers h=
ad no
liability or workman's compensation coverage. He asked the Selectmen to review t=
Committee Charge (to operate under RSA 91:A) and model language created by =
Mr. Danevich asked if the group had By-Laws. Mr. Gaydos said CERT had By-Laws, =
should be formally adopted by the Selectmen and available for public
inspection. He questioned if =
would be any cost to the Town. Mr.
Gaydos said they wouldn't have any budget 'per se'; howev=
as with any other volunteers the Town's insurance would cover them.
Mr. Gleason felt a clarification should be made that t=
proposed committee change would address the responsibility of the CERT Coun=
and what their charter would be.
Mr. Gaydos said the document would cover the entire organization.
Mr. Bergeron said there was a Citizen Council that was= in existence that provided oversight to the CERT program and potentially other programs besides CERT. He understood what was being attempted with the document/insurance and was hop= eful that the Council agreed. He s= aid CERT was under the Council and there could be other parts as well. He said appointments had in the pa= st been done by the Council.
Fire Chief Michael Walker, who was seated with the pub= lic, stepped up and explained what organizations were under the Council. He said the goal was to bring the organizations under the Town's umbrella for liability due to the work they do during emergency situations. He further discussed the interconnection of the volunteer organizati= on with the Town's emergency responders.
Mr. Danevich confirmed that the document was not seeki= ng to change the way in which CERT operated, but rather to formalize/adopt guidelines. He said if the Se= lectmen had any input/comments they should forward them to Mr. Gaydos to create a d= raft document.
Insurance Services Survey
Fire Chief Michael Walker explained that currently the Insurance Service offices rated the Town between 1 and 10 (1 being perfect)= . He said currently there were portio= ns of the Town that were rated 10 and didn't meet minimum standards for fire protection and other portions that were rated 9, which just met minimum standards. He said currently = there was no survey for the Town. H= e said he had researched through insurance companies and informed if the Town was = to go to a grade 6 the overall savings would be approximately five hundred thousand dollars for the citizens. <= /span>Chief Walker said they would like to invite ISO Insurance Services in to do a detailed survey at the end of the summer.&= nbsp; He said the possibility was that the Town's grade could go up. He discussed the componen= ts that would be done in the survey. =
Mr. Domenico stepped out= of the room.
Mr. Danevich explained that when a homeowner files for homeowner's insurance the insurance company reviews the Town's rating and creates a rate schedule. Chief Walker said insurance companies contact him to find out the Town's rating. Mr. Dane= vich asked if there was any cost. = Chief Walker said there would be some overtime costs by the Fire Department and s= ome by Pennichuck Water doing surveys. He said once the documents were created, they would come back to the Selectmen as a strategic planning document to determine what they wanted to achieve. There were associate= d cost that were unknown at this point; the Chief was seeking permission to request the survey and determine the costs based on the pre-survey documents.
There was no objection by the Selectmen to allow Chief Walker to take the next steps to start the process. When it gets to the next step of finalizing costs the Selectmen wanted to review.
Mr. Domenico returned. <= /p>
Discussion – Revocation of Fire Impact Fee and possible vo= te
Mr. Danevich explained that the Selectmen in conjuncti=
with the Planning Board were in the process of implementing a new impact
fee. He said during the Plann=
Board hearing process, there was some input during the final stages that
resulted in possible revisions of the final schedule and some of the fees.<=

Mr. Gleason said the Planning Board
hadn't approved the schedule.
He questioned if it was necessary for the Selectmen to take a vote.<=

words, the Selectmen would take a motion to reconsider.

Mr. Gaydos said the request seemed to be an annual req= uest from the Police Department.

He felt the Selectmen should address the situation at the next meeti=

C. Cretors VP Honored
Shelly Olesen, vice president of sales and marketing for food processing/concession equipment manufacturer C. Cretors and Company, has received the 2012 Bert Nathan Memorial Award.
The award recognizes leadership and significant accomplishment in the theatre concessions industry and honors the late Bert Nathan, a past president of the National Association of Concessionaires and a leader in the theatre concessions industry.
Olesen was selected for the award by previous Nathan Memorial Award recipients.
The honor will be presented to Olesen April 24 by NAC President John Evans Jr. during CinemaCon in Las Vegas.
Olesen has worked at Cretors for more than 20 years, beginning as western regional sales manager, rising to senior marketing manager responsible for developing the North American theater market, and finally reaching her current position, in which she directs the company's overall domestic and international sales and marketing effort.
Prior to joining Cretors, Olesen sold electronics to the airline industry for Midway Electronics.
"We are extremely proud that Shelly Olesen has been singled out for this honor, one of the most coveted in our industry," said Cretors president Andrew Cretors.
"She has worked tirelessly for the company and the community and I can think of no one more deserving of the recognition."
Olesen was the key organizer of Cretors' gala 125th anniversary celebration, which doubled as a tribute to the concession industry and was held at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago.
More than 400 attendees celebrated the milestone with Cretors, including local Chicago celebrities, community leaders, vendors, studios, and customers from 48 different countries.
In addition to celebrating Cretors' success, Olesen was instrumental in ensuring that the 125th anniversary event benefitted the community, raising more than $35,000 for Chicago Arts Partnerships in Education (CAPE), a non-profit organization dedicated to expanding the arts in Chicago Public Schools.
Olesen is a member of NAC, and received the Friends of Exhibition/NATO Great States Convention award in 2005, as well as the Person of the Industry award from the Tri-State Independent Theater Association in 2009.
She is also on the boards of the Junior Women's Club of Deerfield, a community-based social and service organization, and the Variety Club Golf Committee.

Joined up thinking
I have been known in the past to be critical of my local council - Kennet - but I have just realised they, and their beloved masters have been actually planning it all out for our benefit.
Firstly they ban fox hunting.
Then we get news of a Global Bird Flu epidemic.
And then Kennet Council announce they are rushing to introduce Wheelie Bins for rubbish collections.
Seemingly unconnected - but:
BBC NEWS | World | Europe | German cat gets deadly bird flu
A domestic cat in Germany has become the first European Union mammal to die of the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu.
Urban foxes are attacking and killing pet cats because they are struggling to find enough food to eat in British towns and cities.
Cat owners have reported an increasing number of attacks and pest control specialists say that the use of wheelie bins, rather than bin bags, for rubbish disposal is partly to blame because it has deprived many foxes of an easy source of food.
So Foxy Woxy to the rescue! Eating up all the mangy cats before they infect us all, Hurray!
Of course there is one flaw in their plan - Mr FM: No gentleman would ever admit to shooting a fox but he does, and he seems intent on cleansing Kennet of the beasts. And he admits to having worked on the shores of the Pearl River delta and the old Shanghai Bund - I sense some sinister Chinese plot, with Mr FM (Picture) as the mastermind, even as I type he is probably stroking some white pussy somewhere....

What's New for 2007
A few detail changes to onboard entertainment systems mark this midsize luxury SUV's transition into the 2007 model year. The optional navigation system has been upgraded with "fifth-generation" technology that includes voice activation for many functions, an improved display and an input jack for plumbing in devices like an iPod. The Mark Levinson Premium Audio System that resides alongside the navigation system can now play DVDs while displaying video on the navigation screen when the vehicle is parked. Additionally, the optional rear-seat entertainment system's video screen has been expanded to 9 inches wide.
Entering its fifth year of production, the 2007 Lexus GX 470 remains the brand's middle SUV offering, sandwiched between the car-based RX 350 crossover and full-size LX 470. While it's not much larger than the RX, it's built more like the LX with a full ladder frame, a stout suspension and an all-wheel-drive system that includes a dual-range transfer case. In fact, the GX shares its 263-horsepower, 4.7-liter, DOHC, 32-valve V8 and five-speed automatic transmission with the more expensive LX.
The GX 470 is based on Toyota's Land Cruiser Prado platform: the same structural and mechanical base upon which the 4Runner and FJ Cruiser are erected. It's an exceptionally capable and rugged platform that manages the neat trick of supplying excellent on-road comfort and solid off-road performance.
But just because the 2007 Lexus GX 470 shares much of its engineering with the 4Runner and FJ Cruiser doesn't mean it feels like either of them. This is a truly luxurious machine that packs all the creature comforts expected of a Lexus into its body and covers most anything any human might touch in supple, perfectly stitched leather. In fact, it's so overstuffed with luxury equipment that the dashboard can seem overrun with buttons and switches to those who encounter it for the first time. Fortunately that sense of being overwhelmed fades rapidly once the ignition key is turned, the "Optitron" electroluminescent instrument panel fires to life and the engine settles into a barely audible idle.
While the GX packs in all the gee-whiz overkill elements expected of a 21st-century luxury machine, its most impressive technology is really only apparent off-road. The dual-range all-wheel-drive system is among the very best available (the center differential is a Torsen limited-slip unit) and it's complemented by the shockingly effective Downhill Assist Control (DAC), Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) and Active-TRAC (A-TRAC) traction control systems. Throw in excellent four-wheel disc brakes with both ABS and brake assist systems and it takes real effort to get into trouble with a GX 470.
Like other Prado-based vehicles, the GX 470 is a little narrow compared to some of its competition, and the styling is disappointingly generic, but this is otherwise a solid choice for the buyer who wants (or better, needs) the ability of a traditional SUV.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2007 Lexus GX 470 is a midsize luxury SUV with a traditional body-on-frame design. It's offered in only one well-equipped trim level. Standard features on the base model include 17-inch wheels, heated outside mirrors, illuminated running boards, leather seating, bird's eye maple wood trim, heated and power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, an in-dash CD changer, a moonroof, one-touch up-and-down side windows and a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel.
Options include a Sport Package that adds a Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) and special interior and exterior trim details. KDSS is a computer-controlled suspension system designed to smooth out the ride and improve handling. The KDSS system is also available as a stand-alone option, as is a moonroof. The revised DVD-based navigation system is also an option and can be paired with the optional Mark Levinson audio system and/or a rear-seat entertainment system. A third-row seat is also optional, but it's tough to recommend since room back there is so skimpy.
Powertrains and Performance
All GX 470 models are powered by a 263-horsepower, 4.7-liter V8. The only transmission is a five-speed automatic that feeds a standard dual-range transfer case and full-time four-wheel-drive system. Acceleration is about average for this class of vehicle -- zero to 60 mph takes about 8 seconds. Properly equipped, the GX can tow up to 6,500 pounds.
The front airbags are supplemented by front seat-mounted side airbags and roll-sensing side curtain airbags for the first- and second-row passengers. Traction control, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and anti-rollover dynamics are also part of the safety system.
Interior Design and Special Features
The GX 470's interior is overwhelmed by the luxury shoved inside it. As a proper Lexus must, it features elegant leather seating surfaces and sweetly detailed dash and door panels featuring genuine bird's-eye maple wood inserts. The Optitron electroluminescent instrumentation is a Lexus signature, and everything from electrically heated and power adjustable sideview mirrors to a 10-way power adjustable driver seat are standard.
Driving Impressions
With car-based crossovers now the standard for midsize luxury SUVs, the 2007 Lexus GX 470 can feel like something of a throwback to the mid-'90s. But this is a refined, well-thought-out SUV with abilities that can't be simulated in a car-based machine. If you simply want luxury while commuting, there are better choices. But if you want your luxury while on safari or crawling along a rock outcropping, it doesn't get much better than the GX.

This car is amazing in terms of power and drive. But I think it would have been a better car if it had:-
1. Same Breaks as Audi RS4
2. An option to detatch the phone holder and still have bluetooth. The Bluetooth cradle accepts old phones. But the bluetooth works with any phone.
3. Needs 19" RS4 Alloys not 18" S4 alloys
1. Bluetooth works with N95.
Not enough back legroom for a big car.
2. BMW M5 has larger cabin space… Read Full Review

text: Essential Personnel Policy Number: HR-18 Effective Date: September 2009 Responsible Officer: Senior Vice President of Student Life & Administrative Services PURPOSE This policy provides guidelines for the identification and use of Essential Personnel during campus emergencies, including those that dictate suspension of services and/or closure of operations. During an emergency, Essential Personnel and Managers provide services that relate directly to the health, safety, and welfare of the University, ensure continuity of key operations, and maintain and protect Drexel University properties. POLICY In the event of severe weather conditions or other emergency situations the University may suspend normal operations and classes in whole or part. If normal activities are suspended in any way, all employees whose positions are designated as essential must report to their campus as soon as conditions reasonably permit in order to ensure the continuation of critical University operations, attend to the needs of students and others, and protect the University's assets. ELIGIBILITY This policy applies to all Drexel University faculty and professional staff. DEFINITIONS Suspension of Operations: There are basically three levels of suspended operations that may require the activation of essential personnel and releasing of non-essential personnel. The examples below are an attempt to define increasing levels of urgency. In the end, the nature of the emergency will determine what services should continue and who is then essential to the continued operation of the campus. The distinction between the levels described below is blurred by the specifics of the circumstance at hand. The following is offered as a general guideline. Level I Crisis Event Cancellation or Localized Closing - Suspension of Select Services and/or Events or Closing of Select Buildings: Inability to conduct specific activities or to do so in specific areas. Examples: Extreme conditions or localized emergencies (e.g., fire, local power outage, localized crisis situation) that make working conditions in a particular building or location intolerable or impossible. Personnel Required: Outside the affected area all employees are required to perform duties as scheduled and required. All managers connected with the affected area or event are required to work to ensure appropriate event cancellation/building closing procedures are followed and to assure the safety of all those connected with the space or event. Select Essential Personnel may also be required. Release:Non-essential personnel and students in the affected area or assigned to the affected event. Level II Crisis Campus Closure – Suspension of Non-Essential Services: Inability to conduct business Examples: Complete loss of power; response to a national incident elsewhere, University President issues directive to release non-essential personnel, or Governor issues state of emergency. The Drexel Emergency Response Team may be activated. Personnel Required: Essential managers and select essential personnel Release: All students and all faculty. Level III Crisis Suspension of All Services - Extreme Emergency: Direct threat to health or safety of the campus Examples: Actual incident affecting this campus (e.g. plane crash on campus, air or water contaminated). Drexel's Emergency Response Team is activated. Personnel Required: Essential managers and Essential personnel. Release: All other professional staff and managers and all faculty and students, including evacuation of the residence halls Essential Services: Those services that are determined to be critical to the functioning of the University. In the event of a crisis or emergency, senior management will determine which services are essential based on the defining nature of the situation or event. Essential Management: All managers will be considered essential until a decision is made about which services will be closed or suspended. Once a determination is made as to what, if any, services are to remain open to students, managers in those areas must report for or remain on duty and must provide appropriate staffing. Essential Personnel: Professional staff and faculty members identified by department administrators as critical to the continuation of operations and key services in the event of an emergency. PROCEDURES Decisions Regarding Essential Personnel and Managers: Department administrators are responsible for designating which faculty and professional staff members are "Essential." This determination is made on the basis of the essential duties of the jobs and the needs of the university. Precisely who will function as Essential Personnel during an emergency may vary depending upon the circumstances. Department administrators must provide a list of essential personnel (including managers) to the Vice President of Human Resources. This list must be updated on a semi-annual basis (e.g., in January and July). Human Resources will share the initial and updated lists of essential personnel with the Senior Associate Vice President of Public Safety. Additionally, department administrators must notify, in writing, each professional staff member and manager identified as "essential" that they have received this designation (See Appendix A for a template). In this written notice, they must also detail what this designation entails, including duties and responsibilities the employee may have during a campus emergency. This policy must also be reviewed with the employee. Decisions Regarding Suspension of Operations and Essential Personnel: Decisions regarding closure or suspension of services or events will be made by the President with the Senior Vice President of Student Life and Administrative Services and the Provost in consultation with other University Executives as needed. Essential Personnel decisions will be made by Drexel's Emergency Response Team's Incident Commander at the time of the emergency. When determining the need for essential personnel, the Incident Commander will consider the nature and severity of the emergency and related staffing needs when determining which personnel, beyond those deemed essential, are needed to meet the specific situation. These individuals will be notified of the need to report for duty by the appropriate administrator in person or by phone and in writing via email. Notification will include: the anticipated duration of the emergency the expected schedule. Communication and Information Concerning the University's Operational Status: Once a decision for closure or suspension is made by the President, s/he will notify the Office of University Relations at both the University and the College of Medicine. The Office of University Relations will then notify all those affected by the closure or suspension via any of the following tools: the campus emergency alert system (Drexel Alert), email, voice mail, and the University's homepage (www.drexel.edu). Reporting for Emergency Duty: University employees designated essential personnel must remain on duty or report to work to avoid interruption of essential services unless directed or permitted to do otherwise, as indicated by their department administrator. Essential personnel should keep a copy of this policy and of the email notification of their activation in their vehicles to identify themselves to authorities during University emergencies. Specific identification will be provided to essential personnel on site. Essential personnel will be required to wear this identification while on duty during the entire duration of a University emergency. Excused from duty for risk or other key issue: Depending on the nature and severity of the emergency, Individuals, including essential personnel, may be excused from emergency service by their department administrator, for the following reasons: The employee has a personal circumstance that prohibits their ability to report to duty or necessitates departure from the workplace (ex., child or elder care issue). The employee or an immediate family member has a documented preexisting medical condition that may increase the risk of mortality for them or for their family member. A decision has been made by local or regional government that travel between the employee's home and the University is prohibitively risky. Employees who cannot travel must notify their supervisors as soon as possible. The employee provides documentation that s/he is a medical professional who has high risk patients under his or her direct care. Unexcused/Non-approved absence: Employees who are required to work during an emergency but refuse to do so are subject to corrective action up to and including termination. Safety Measures: Depending on the nature of the emergency and of the job performed, as well as applicable laws and regulations, the University will provide essential employees with appropriate personal protective clothing and equipment. Additionally, in the event of a medical emergency, the University will provide all essential personnel and, if required by the nature of the event, their immediate family members with the appropriate available prophylactic medications and/or vaccinations. Attendance and Compensation for Emergency Duty The following attendance and compensation policies shall be in effect for employees required to report to or remain at work during periods of emergency closing, suspension, or cancellation: All employees who are required to report to or remain at work (i.e., employees whose work units are not closed or those called into work by their administrative head) shall work as scheduled. Any employee who is required to work but unable to do so as scheduled, for whatever reason, must contact his/her immediate supervisor at least one hour in advance of the employee's starting time to report his/her absence. Hourly paid employees who report or remain at work as required during a closing will be paid time and one half for time worked during the emergency. Salaried employees who report or remain at work as required will receive pay at their regular salary and will receive compensatory time equal to one and one half the number of hours worked during the emergency. Current policies regarding time off shall apply: Essential hourly personnel who do not report to work must use vacation, sick, or time off without pay. Essential personnel who live in counties where the sheriff has declared a "Level 3" weather (or other) emergency will receive pay at their regular straight time rate. Non-essential hourly employees, who report to work without being told to, will receive regular pay. The following compensation policies shall be in effect for those employees whose work units are closed and who are not asked to work: Hourly and salaried employees receive pay at their regular wages. Hourly employees who report to work without being told will receive pay at their regular straight time rate. Employees prescheduled for vacation, sick or other time off prior to the emergency-closing announcement may not rescind their time off request after the announcement. When it is announced that a segment of the University campus will be closed for a portion of the day, hourly paid employees requesting to leave work earlier than the scheduled closing time must have the approval of the appropriate supervisor and must use accrued vacation time, sick time, or leave without pay, in that order to account for the additional hours of absence.

I recently had the opportunity to do something I've always dreamed of doing. Walk up to home plate at Fenway Park and imagine myself blasting a shot over the Green Monster. (Note: It's further than you think!) I had this rare experience when I was able to join Bob Harkins, Vice President at Carousel Industries, as we visited with Steve Conley, the Director of IT for the Red Sox in his Fenway Park offices.
Carousel has been working closely with the Red Sox since 2003, when as Steve explained it, "We had a Centrex/Hybrid phone system running our call center that was antiquated, and it blew up a few weeks before the season started. Literally! Carousel stepped in and came up big to help us get through the season." By bringing expertise and specialized manpower to bear, Carousel put a loaner Definity system in place for the 2003 season, and was able to help the Sox address the immediate short-term issues, while buying time to develop a strategy that would allow the organization to begin addressing its long-term priorities and goals while putting in a technology backbone for growth.
"Even though people look at the Red Sox as an New England institution and a nationally recognized brand, we are actually a small company with only 160 full-time employees" explained Conley. "So when Carousel helped implement our new Avaya system, we worked closely with them and relied on their expertise to make sure it enabled us to do things we had never been able to do before." Carousel worked with the Red Sox team to help identify key objectives and business drivers that the system needed to address, including:
Ensuring the ticketing "Contact Center" system would integrated with the rest of the organization
Making the ticketing system "fair" to allow everyone equal access to tickets
Eliminating busy signals when fans call in – no easy task when there are only 15 call center assets
Defining infrastructure requirements, from necessary T1 bandwidth, to scalability of the network for future growth, to cabling needs in an enormous, 100 year old steel and concrete facility
"Carousel helped put together the strategy and really brought expertise to the table that allowed us to move forward with confidence," said Conley. Carousel has also worked closely with the Red Sox to make progress on many fronts and keep us with current technology and opportunities. For example, "upgrading to VoIP for the organization and the Contact Center meant upgrading our network backbone to support that initiative. The Carousel relationship has been great, because they have had to be flexible and creative in helping us solve problems and responsive in implementing solutions."
The Future of Red Sox Nation: Beyond Fenway
Today, the Red Sox are looking at ways to build upon a Unified Communications platform in creative ways to help the organization succeed. Some of the key initiatives we discussed include:
With the proliferation of consumer technology amongst the Red Sox staff, an amazing thing happened. "Our medical team, trainers and coaches started using Apple's Facetime video calls to collaborate and discuss injuries, assess rehab issues and review player mechanics", explained Conley. "Obviously this approach, while beneficial, has limitations. However, we quickly saw the opportunities for the organization. Our endgame is now to get a video backbone in place to allow us to securely collaborate over video, with multiple participants from various locations."
The parks are all being outfitted with video conferencing infrastructure and the new system will connect all the parks, allow for the sharing of MRI information, X-rays and other medical data, while speeding the decision making process and eliminating the need for unnecessary travel.
Unified Communications and ONE-X Mobile
"With Carousel's help, we are continuing to improve our Unified Communications capability and tie the entire organization together," explained Conley. As Harkins describes in more detail, "They have voicemail and email coming together on one inbox, and now with the the explosion of smartphones, we are working to implement Avaya's ONE-X mobile solution. This will enable 4-digit calling on the network, so you can call someone's extension and know you'll reach your contact regardless of the device they are on or their location."
As Conley sums it up, "The payoff for this will really come when the season starts and people are everywhere. Regardless of whether they are at spring training, scouting, or traveling for games, they can connect with colleagues like they are sitting at their desk."
"We appreciate the long term relationships we build with our clients, and the Red Sox are a great example of that," explains Harkins. "Initially, we were brought in during a crisis. Today, we work closely with Steve and his team to make the most effective decisions for the Red Sox organization regardless of the product or technology. Our engineers understand Steve's business objectives and we do our best to craft recommendations to achieve those goals. The Red Sox will challenge our team to do better, short and long term. It has proven to be a great partnership over the years, one I'd like to emulate with all of our clients, and we look forward to the next challenge."

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Are JWs Being Lied to?
B J Kotwall (From: Investigator No. 28 1993 January)
In INVESTIGATOR No. 23 I demonstrated that the Watchtower Society (WTS) encourages Jehovah's Witnesses (JWs) to deceive when it suits their purpose. The WTS calls this "Theocratic War Strategy". (The Watchtower 1957 May 1 p.285) Most JWs are not aware that the WTS also practices Theocratic War Strategy on its own JW followers! The following are a few examples culled from a vast collection: The WTS's second president, Judge Rutherford, gave a series of lectures starting in February 1918 titled "Millions Now Living Will Never Die". (1975 Yearbook of JWs p.127; The Watchtower 1979 October 1 p.26; Revelation – Its Grand Climax At Hand! 1988 p.173) Rutherford also wrote a book in 1920 of the same title and essentially the same message. The message was that the ancient "worthies" mentioned in the Bible such as Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Issac, etc would return in physical form to Earth in 1925 to take charge of the affairs of Earth and paradise on Earth would then start. Despite the fiasco when none of this happened the WTS now lies and says that the lectures and the book were "based on the Bible" and "fulfilled Bible prophecies". (Awake! 1990 April 22 p.7) The WTS also recently implied that the lectures and book were titled "Millions Now Living May Never Die". (Awake! 1990 April 22 pp. 6-7)
In anticipation of the return of the "worthies" a large house was built for them in the late 1920s at San Diego, California and named "Beth Sarim" meaning "House of Princes". (Salvation 1939 p.311; The New World 1942 p.104) The WTS now lies by claiming that the house was built for Rutherford because he was ill and needed to be in a different climate and that someone donated $75,000 to build it and that the WTS had nothing to do with it! (1975 Yearbook of JWs p.194)
The WTS published a "Biography of Pastor Russell" (its first president) in special editions of the book The Divine Plan of the Ages from 1924 to 1927. Yet in the book Jehovah's Witnesses in the Divine Purpose (1959) we're told that JWs have never published a biography of Pastor Russell! (p.63) From 1896 Pastor Russell taught that the "faithful and wise servant" in Matthew 24:45 was one individual—himself. (Zion's Watch Tower 1896 March 1 p.47; 1906 July 15 p.229; 1923 March 1 p.68) The WTS now says that Russell considered the Servant of Matthew 24:45 to refer to a group and that he never claimed to be that Servant! (God's kingdom of a Thousand Years has Approached 1973 pp.345-346) The books The Finished Mystery (1917) and Millions Now Living Will Never Die (1920) contained hundreds of false statements and false predictions. In the book Jehovah's Witnesses: A Statistical Survey (1992) a sampling technique is used to show that The Finished Mystery contained over 1,000 points which even the JWs no longer accept! Yet The Finished Mystery is still often mentioned positively in WTS literature although access to it to inquirers is denied. The WTS now interprets the "two witnesses" described in Revelation 11 as referring to the JWs around 1914-1918. The WTS reasons, "The fact that they were symbolized by two witnesses confirms to us that their message was accurate and well founded…" and that they ware at that point in time "God's prophets". (Revelation—It's Grand Climax At Hand! 1988 p.164) Until 1914 the WTS maintained that 1914 would see the full establishment of the Kingdom of God on Earth. (Thy Kingdom Come 1891 p.126) The WTS now pulls the wool over the eyes of JWs with statements like this:
"In the 'Watchtower' magazine of March 1880, they said: 'The Times of the Gentiles extend to 1914, and the heavenly kingdom will not have sway till then.' Of all people, only the witnesses pointed to 1914, as the year of God's kingdom to be fully set up in heaven." (From Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained 1958 p.170)
Only part of the sentence of 1880 is here quoted. The actual teaching from the 1880s onwards was that the Kingdom was set up in Heaven in 1878 and would be established on Earth by 1914. (Studies in the Scriptures Vol. 4- pp. 604, 624-625) The full sentence in the 1880 Watch Tower reads:
"The Times of the Gentiles extend to 1914, and the heavenly kingdom will not have full away till then, but as a 'stone' the kingdom of God is set up 'in the days of these kings,' and by consuming them it becomes a universal kingdom—a great mountain and fills the whole earth."
Russellism taught the Kingdom of Christ was established in Heaven in 1878. Studies in the Scriptures Volume 4 (1897) says:
"A "generation" might be reckoned as equivalent to a century (practically the present limit) or one hundred and twenty years, Moses' lifetime and the Scripture limit. (Gen. 6:3.) Reckoning a hundred years from 1780, the date of the first sign, the limit would reach to 1880; and, to our understanding, every item predicted had begun to be fulfilled at that date;—the "harvest" or gathering time beginning October 1874; the organization of the Kingdom and the taking by our Lord of his great power as the King in April 1878, and the time of trouble or "day of wrath" which began October 1874, and will cease about 1915; and the sprouting of the fig tree." (p.604)
Pages 624-625 predicted the "earthly phase of God's Kingdom" from 1914, to be rule by physically restored "ancient worthies" like Abraham, Issac and Jacob. The WTS now publishes numerous lies about what was predicted concerning the Kingdom. For example:
"They particularly heralded that the year 1914 was a marked year for the ending of "the times of the Gentiles" (Luke 21:24, AV) and for the establishment of Christ's kingdom in heaven. All this proved to be true and was verified by the beginning of World War I…" (The Watchtower 1966 September 15)
In 1941 the WTS wrote that World War II would not end in decisive victory for either side as Bible prophecy would not permit it, and America and England would turn into dictatorships. (The Watchtower 1941 December 15 p.372) Also the end of Nazi rule would mark the end of demon rule. (p.377) Furthermore The Watchtower of 1941 speaks of:
"the remaining months before Armageddon." (September 15 p. 288)
Despite clearly linking World War II to Armageddon in this way the WTS later lied to JWs:
"During WWI God's people expected it to lead directly to Armageddon, but Jehovah prevented such climax at that time. We didn't succumb to such an expectation during WWII." (Kingdom Ministry 1968 January p.5—USA edition)
The WTS has experienced complete failure of all its predictions including for the dates 1914, 1925, 1942-45, 1975. In addition it has made thousands of ridiculous statements. The following claim about The Watchtower being "consistently…dependable" is therefore a brazen lie:
"Since 1879 it has been published regularly for the benefit of sincere students of the Bible. Over that extended period of time The Watchtower has consistently proven itself dependable." (New World Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures 1950 p.793)
Obviously the WTS has regularly lied to JWs to further its hold on them. The WTS claims that "Jehovah's witnesses" are not false prophets because they admit their mistakes! (The Watchtower l972 December 15 p. 762) Actually, the false prophecies do not originate with JWs as a whole since a vote by all JWs to teach them is not taken. The false prophecies originated solely with the leaders including directors of the WTS. Furthermore, the WTS is very coy about what it admits to JWs and, often, doctrinal somersaults are made without alluding to previous beliefs. The WTS has the temerity to claim that the "faithful and discreet slave" organization has replaced Jesus as the repository and dispenser of truth! (The Watchtower 1981 February 15 p.19) Why do the JWs not see through the lies taught by the WTS? Firstly the WTS has presented itself to JWs in such a Godly light that most JWs think it a sacrilege to question any of its pronouncements. Secondly most JWs have never read the older books of the sect nor have access to them since copies have been removed from the libraries in their "Kingdom Halls". Thirdly, the JWs are a "captive audience" which hears only one viewpoint. Opposers are labelled "apostate" and "like Satan" and their writings compared to "pornography" and JWs are ordered to shun them completely! The WTS has backed itself into a corner with its own writings! Its own voluminous literature is its most potent enemy! The WTS has ignored Jesus' warning:
"For by your own words you will be justified, and by your own words you will be condemned." (Matthew 12:37)

Remember all that hubbub over China hacking US companies a few months ago? It looks like they're back at it. Surprisingly, the attacks have not only resumed but are originating from the same source — Unit 61398 in Shanghai. Why they chose to resume operations from a location that's already been exposed is unclear at this point.
Now, the hackers are using new servers, new techniques and tools that allow them to find and steal data without being detected. Compared to the level of operations during the previous attacks, they are at around 60 to 70 percent according to security company Mandiant. What's strange, however, is that while the company cannot reveal which companies are being attacked now, they say that many of them are the same ones that were attacked a few months ago.
The United States government was reportedly not surprised by the new attacks, with one official saying that "this is something we are going to have to come back at time and again with the Chinese leadership."
I'm not so sure the government remembers what happened last time — China chose to play the blame game instead.

This article needs a copy editor. It reads like a Chinese-to-English Google translation. Incomplete sentences, broken verb context, missing, or random words…
I understand the context, but this is atypical of Dottech quality.

Coming Soon
Project Money is a full featured money manager; essential for anyone who needs to manage their money better. Project Money helps you in ways other budget apps don't. Project Money:
Requirements: Compatible with iPhone and iPod touch. Requires iPhone OS 4.0 or later.
Awesome finance app!!! Really easy to use and didn't take long to setup.
- Jeremy Victoria
This has got to be the easiest budget type app to use. It does what it says it does.
- Lortta California
I've tried other apps to help me with my money and this one was the only one that did the math for me. Well done.
- Brian Queensland
Project Money is really easy to use. It actually helped me work out a budget. Get it, you'll love it.
- Brittany Alberta
Project Money actually calculates for you. It doesn't require you to have calculated a budget before using the app. It takes you through a step by step process prompting you with what you need to create and manage your bank account/s with a budget.
Project Money calculates how much money each of your expenses need each pay day, to keep them loaded and ready for when they're due. It does this by working the math based on your expense details. Eg: How much is the bill? When is it due? And how often is it due?
Ultimately, yes. Although it wasn't created to be a debt busting app, if you apply discipline to the way you use Project Money to manage your money, debt can be dealt with simply by controlling your spending.
Project Money distributes your cash to cover your expenses according to a formula designed to make sure there's more than enough. Because some bills are monthly, others are quarterly and some people get paid weekly, others fortnightly, Project Money can sometimes over allow money for an expense/s leaving your available cash seemingly bare. Check that all the expense details are correct, reassess what expenses are truly necessary and if after your first month of managing your expenses your Cashpile is still in the red, seek professional advice.
Truthfully, an account with a healthy budget should be a full month ahead on every expense. In other words, if all your bills came today, you should be able to pay them all in one hit. This should be the first goal for anyone wanting to be free of the stresses of unavoidable financial debts.
Project Money was an idea originally conceived by Drew Fraser many years ago when his money management system (what system?) failed to adequately save the right amount of money to cover his bills ahead of time. He got jack of being behind the eight ball with his bills, then the idea started, with a piece of paper, a pen and a calculator. From there he turned that piece of paper into an excel spreadsheet, but even then it was time consuming and limited in it's ability. In 2010, the iPhone 4 went ballistic in Australia and with a powerful mobile device in his pocket Drew got the idea to develop his budget spreadsheet into a full function iPhone app.
In mid 2011 Drew met Joshua Smith, founder of iOnline Interactive Imagineering. Joshua and his team have taken the idea of Project Money and made it a reality. Joshua not only gave the idea life, but delivered it into the App Store for users (that's you) of all demographics to benefit from this apps powerful functionality.
Part of Joshua's team, Bentley O'Kane-Chase, programmed the code that crunches the numbers for your budget and gives you the results of a well rounded money management app. A lot of the user interface was imagineered by Bentley, and his awesome code hacking ability's have been of instrumental value in the development of Project Money.
Next on the team of imagineers is Jordan Gardiner. Even though he's a trainee at iOnline, his design work on the app has turned an idea into an icon. He took the simple outline ideas of, "it's got to be blue and not crappy", and turned it into an awesome statement of simplicity and excellence.
This is the team behind Project Money.
For all questions, feedback or a nice word to say about Project Money, send us a message.

Two people have been killed and six wounded in an attack on a security checkpoint in Egypt's Sinai, as a police base elsewhere in the peninsula came under mortar fire.
Medics and security officials said one of the dead appeared to be a civilian whose car was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade on Wednesday. They did not identify the other casualty.
The attack took place in the remote village of Sadr El-Heytan, located in the centre of the province.
The checkpoint, in the middle of the peninsula, was manned by soldiers and police, they said.
Near the north Sinai border town of Rafah, fighters attacked a police base with mortar rounds and a truck-mounted heavy machine gun, and also attacked another police checkpoint in the town of El-Arish, 27 miles west of Rafah.
The Sinai area, near the border with Israel, has been the site of several attacks in the last week, as fighters capitalise on instability following the removal of President Mohamed Morsi by the army.
Last Sunday, one Egyptian soldier was killed and a police officer was wounded in an attack on a security checkpoint in Sinai, and five security officers were killed in skirmishes with suspected fighters on Friday.
On Wednesday, Egypt opened its crossing with the Gaza Strip for several hours to allow stranded Palestinians to return to the enclave and for others to leave after five days of closure.
The Rafah crossing is the only gateway to the world for the 1.7 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, which is governed by Hamas group, an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood movement.
Egyptian authorities ordered the passage closed last Friday.
Ghazi Hamad, Hamas's deputy foreign minister, said the crossing would remain open for a few hours on Wednesday so Palestinians could return and so foreigners, patients due to receive medical treatment in Cairo and Palestinians with residency permits in third countries could leave the Gaza Strip.

Rick Spruill joined the KRIS news team in Oct., 2013 after three years as investigative journalist at the Corpus Christi Caller-Times.
He graduated from Baylor University in 1994 with a History degree and returned home to Dallas, where he went to work for Excel Telecommunications as a regulatory analyst.
This opened doors into project management and later, sales and business development.
But his passion for writing and communicating with clarity and precision led Rick to switch careers, eventually landing him a spot as a cops reporter at the Anderson Independent-Mail in Anderson, SC.
While there he rose from covering general assignments to embedding himself as a police and public safety reporter, riding along with sheriff's deputies in pursuit of gang members, developing in-depth features on the rise of highway fatalities caused by unsafe road conditions and a thousand daily stories in-between.
A love of Texas brought him back to the Lone Star State in 2010, when he joined the Caller-Times as an investigative and data reporter.
Rick's need to keep pushing, keep asking questions, has led to award-winning coverage of local and state political leaders, dysfunctional state agencies and topics of national interest, including the 2011 arrest of a Corpus Christi man since convicted of an international assassination plot.
His 2012 coverage of the troubled, $84 billion Texas Windstorm Insurance Association won the coveted Nancy Monson Freedom of Information Award for outstanding effort in upholding the principles embodied in the First Amendment and accountability in government.
His wife, a South Carolina native, is a speech-language pathologist at CHRISTUS Spohn Hospital. They have a daughter.
Rick loves college football and is proud of the Baylor Bears, even though most years it is too painful.
He white wing dove hunts in the Fall and fishes Upper Padre Island, year round. But he is happiest with a hot grill, a good brisket, a lawn chair and a well-stocked cooler.

The use of oxygen as medicine is growing in popularity and the newest center to open in the city is already improving patients' lives. NY1's Erin Billups filed the following report.
Pelvic radiation therapy used to treat Frances Flores' cervical cancer caused daily internal bleeding.
"Like almost all day, every night," recalls Flores.
It left the 80-year-old in pain, self-conscious, tired, and house-ridden. Her medication failed to stop the bleeding.
"I was afraid to have like a little accident with the bleeding," she says.
Flores was referred to NYU Langone's new Hyperbaric and Advanced Wound Healing Center, the latest of several similar facilities in New York. They treat chronic, non-healing wounds with 100 percent oxygen which dissolves into the blood stream having a so-called "drug effect."
"It increases what's called angiogenesis which is a new development of capillary blood vessels into the area. It, so to speak, draws in the other cellular elements which can increase wound healing," says Dr. Frank Ross of the NYU Langone Hyperbaric & Advanced Wound Healing Center.
Normal air is usually at one atmosphere or at sea level. While inside the hyperbaric chambers patients experience what feels like two atmospheres or 33 feet below sea level. They stay inside the chamber for 90 minutes each session.
With a history of bad press, hyperbaric oxygen treatment is still met with some skepticism.
"Back in the 20s, 30s, 40s hyperbaric oxygen was used without any studies and there were a lot of claims made that were not true. There's very selective indications for what it's used for," says Ross.
Recent studies have shown proven results in patients like Flores, or those with carbon monoxide poisoning, burn victims and even in saving the blood-starved limbs of diabetics.
But Ross says more scientific studies are needed and NYU is starting a new one soon.
"Looking at possibly stroke and or use with concussion," Ross notes.
So far, Flores has had 20 sessions. The oxygen is reducing the swelling of inflamed blood vessels around her pelvis, and helping to create new ones.
"The blood is almost gone," says Flores.
Meantime, Flores is already back to taking walks in the park, and exercising regularly.
"I'm happy, I hope it keeps working," she says.
