The law providing that a tncond vote on appropriations cannot be hold until the'neNt dnnual election was amended by the Legislature of 1910, so that the limit is now 'JO days, and if if is so de¬ sired we can vote early in June to re¬ consider the ijiiestion of appropriating funds for street lighting;. 1 have bet'ii askt if 1 wil! refute the statements in the last issue of the (ib- servLT rc;;aiding the cost of street laiiij'S in which it was inferred that lamps could be operate I on a moonlight schfdult fur $l!l a >ear. I will merely state that the liphts have never been operated for t'2\ a ye:ir and even when .Mr. George W;illact' (who undoubtedly wrote, Ol' was responsible for such statcnieiilsi was President of the vil¬ lage, it was only possible to furnish the lamps on a moonlight schedule at .^21 a year by making the private light ciitisuiners pay «'i.v shortage, manifest¬ ly an urfiiir procedure to nuike the people using electricity in their houses pay a hinher price than should bave prevailed in order fo reduce taxes for Iho-^e who used no electricity at home I'ut had an equal share of street light- ; inir lenefits. : It is impossible to furnish street lignts the same as used in Freeport on a nuioniight schedule at #21 a year and anyone who has ever figured it out knows this to be so. We have seen statements, but never figures, to the contrary. Even adn-ifting this to be true, though, we are burning fhe lights twice as long now or more, and lamps of ; higher efiiciency. And further, the 1 cost of everything connected with the plant has increast greatly, such as coal, \ wages, supplies and equipment. \ The sum reciuested for operating ' lights for the coming year was based upon figures furnisht by Engineer Smith, who has been at the power | house since the plant was first started ami is better qualified than any one' else to know the cost of running the lamps. I But what is the use? We ail have i our hobbies and it is the hobby of the j man \\'ho wrote fhe item referred to that lights can be produced in Freeport for less than is paid in any place in I the country so far as we can find, even i where water power and not coal is used in manufacture. The referendum worked at fhe Free- j port election for village oflficers. Out of nine propositions for appropriations i aggregating $60,000 the taxpayers ap¬ proved only two calling for an ex¬ penditure of $6,500. The Hanse ticket was elected as there was no opposition. But the vote on the appropriations! showed a lack of confidence on the part | of property owners, the only ones el-1 igitble to vote on appropriations,Jn the' work done at fhe recent primary where manhood suffrage was the only test and 1,100 votes were brought out by active campaigning. The importance of the primary now dwindles. Hanse and his successful followers no doubt realize the truth of Judge Culen's remark in his dissenting opinion that "the prim¬ ary election is not a real election." The real election took place quietly with no money spent on either side and the property owners stepped in and re¬ moved the public purse from the hands of the reprsenfatives of the will of the' people as expressed at the much-vaunt- j ed direct primary. Thus the will of the people who have the say when it comes to passing out the money is! found superior to the will of the peo- j pie wbo own no property and are at' liberty to move elsewhere if rents go ; high under bankruptfng government. ! Now follows a threat that Kreeport i lights will be shut off and that there will be no police and no fire protection, i Kerosene lamps will be brought out' Local Topics GontlDoeu od Pa^e ( It don't seem possible bot it's so- < DaSilva's Chocolates at 20c a lb. are equal to the usual 40c kinds. 7'ry a i lb. for 5c and be convinced.

Shabti of Heqaib
The Egyptians manufactured funerary figurines, originally called shabties, as early as Dynasty 12 (1932–1759 B.C.E.). The earliest shabties are inscribed with either the deceased's name (see nos. 1 and 2) or a simple form of Chapter 6 of the Book of the Dead. The rarity and high quality of the early shabties suggest that they were costly items produced for privileged persons.
Later, Chapter 6 began appearing more frequently on funerary figurines. The text mentions that they do agricultural tasks for the dead person: irrigating the fields, cultivating crops, and clearing away sand that blew in from the nearby desert.
As substitutes for the deceased, these figurines were sometimes given their own sarcophagi (see no. 6). To emphasize the agricultural function of the figurines, hoes and grain baskets were added to them (no. 8).
Wood (nos. 9–11), stone (nos. 12–14, 16), faience (no. 17), metal, and other materials were used beginning in Dynasty 18.

By now the burgundy '88 Camaro IROC-Z gracing these pages has become a familiar sight to Super Chevy readers. In past issues, you have witnessed everything from its cosmetic transformation using Auto Air Colors' waterborne paint, to brake and suspension upgrades featuring Baer Brakes and Hotchkis Performance. In this month's issue, we are extracting the Hotchkis Performance Sports coil springs (PN#1903) from all four corners and replacing them with front and rear Cool-Ride kits from Air Ride Technologies. The reasoning behind the switch, first and foremost, was to improve the '88's ride quality. In 1982, when the new F-body debuted, its claim to fame for Camaro-performance freaks was that the new Z28 could out pull the '82 Corvette on the skidpad. Unfortunately along with improved handling, the new Camaros also gained a reputation for riding like a steel-wheeled skateboard. For high-performance Camaro fanatics, living with a stiff ride has come to be an accepted price to pay for skidpad superiority.
On March 7, 2005, Air Ride Technologies announced the arrival of its Cool-Ride kits for the '82-'92 Camaro. The best way for us to describe the content of the release is simply to quote it: "Air Ride Technologies has finished development for the '82-'92 Camaro F-body cars. The front Cool-Ride kit consists of an air spring and bracket assembly, which directly replaces the coil spring. Your factory or aftermarket strut assembly remains intact. This kit is also compatible with any performance replacement strut on the market. The Rear Cool-Ride kit directly replaces the OEM coil spring. The handling and performance are increased dramatically with this kit. If you pair it up with a four-wheel independent control system, you will be able to manipulate this system to get your car to handle and launch exactly how you want it to.
It was great to learn that Air Ride Technologies had released a kit specifically designed to fit our '88 IROC-Z, but its product release didn't quite answer our main concern. What we were looking for was an assurance that our IROC's ride quality would improve. The next step in our information quest was to log onto Air Ride Technologies' Web site and search for Frequently Asked Questions - Bingo! Here's what they had to say: "How is the ride quality? Wonderful! If you closed your eyes, you would swear that you were in a new luxury car. The ride quality is also adjustable to your taste from inside the vehicle. (Try that with a coilover or leaf spring!)."
Dependability concerns? For those of you unfamiliar with air suspension, or perhaps even hold a low opinion of it based on what you've heard from a fellow that had a friend who knew someone that lived next door to a guy that had bad luck with airbags, we'll give a quick response. First off, it seems the subject of air-ride suspension is like a Harley-Davidson; there's always some guy who has never owned one who can tell you all about them. Not wanting to be one of "those guys," there are a few of us at Super Chevy who currently have air-ride on our vehicles along with firsthand experience.
Without starting an argument, it's hard to say whether the first guys bagging their rides were street-rodders or mini-truckers. It seemed to occur around the same period in time (mid-1990s). The one thing for sure is, it was the mini-truckers who pushed the limits on how low a vehicle can go. The last thing a mini-trucker was or is concerned about is ride or reliability; the whole purpose is to lay absolutely flat on the ground. Consequently, spotting trucks at the side of the road (especially around a truck run) with broken homemade or even so-called professional custom-fabricated air-ride setups is not all that hard to do.

One rising star that in my opinion is in need of a major push and that I would love to see main eventing one day would be Big E Langston. There's something about Big E that I enjoy and his wrestling ability is fantastic. Big E is a former Iowa Hawkeye Defensive Tackle and when it comes to wrestling he has "it" in my opinion. After seeing Big E face Dean Ambrose at Hell In A Cell I knew that
One of the biggest issues some have with WWE is that there is little to no blood seen in WWE nowadays and if there is, they delay the match to stop the bleeding. Now first off I want to state that I am a fan of Wrestling and have been for over 10 years now and I do enjoy the affect that blood brings to matches.
Many people will blame the lack of blood
After all these years of watching Wrestling there is one PPV that always stood out to me. I remember watching it Live on TV like it was yesterday. That PPV is Survivor Series 2003. Survivor Series 2003 had the best lineup and made history in more than once that night.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Man-Made Monsters: A Field Guide to Golems, Patchwork Solders, Homunculi, and Other Created Creatures, by Dr Bob Curran, illustrated by Ian Daniels
New Page Books, 9781601631367, 184 pp. (incl. bibliography and index), 2011
Dr Bob Curran is a history teacher with several books to his name, all dealing with fantastic creatures: Vampires, Zombies, Werewolves, and Dark Fairies, among others. His latest is Man-Made Monsters, which explores possible origins for created creatures.
Curran begins with the quintessential man-made monster of modern times, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. He looks at possible sources which may have inspired Shelley's story, such as the experiments of Giovanni Aldini, Mr Pass, George Foster, Johann Konrad Dippel, and other stories of reanimation which she may have encountered.

I like the Azog stuff in that it explains all the orcses in the book. Instead of 'Gee, aren't there a lot of orcs around?' it's 'Gee, who's sending all these orcs after us?'.

Kayla Parker is on fast forward.
The former Port St. Joe High School standout qualified last weekend for the NCAA Division I track and field meet held this week in Eugene, Oregon.
Parker, a junior at the University of Kentucky, qualified eighth in the 100 meter hurdles at the NCAA East Prelims to reach the national semifinals which will take place today and will be streamed live by the NCAA.
Twelve runners came out of the East and West regions for the 100 meter hurdles, setting up a three-stage semifinal.
The finals in the event will be Saturday.
"It's is amazing," Parker said by phone from Portland, Oregon as her team traveled to the NCAA national meet. "I am just so blessed to have this opportunity.
"I don't put a time or place on things as a goal or anything. I just want to continue running faster and competing. I know I can go faster. I am pleased so far, but I am not satisfied."
Parker, ranked No. 2 in the 100 meter hurdles in UK history, ran a 13.26, just off her personal best at the East Prelims.
She is one of just four female athletes from UK to qualify to the national meet and one of six Wildcat athletes overall that will be making their debut at the national meet.
"My overall take heading into the NCAA is we are moving forward," said UK first-year head coach Edrick Floreal. "There is still quite a bit of work to do, but I think the most important thing at a meet like this (East Prelims) is leaving an impression. When you make an impression where other people notice how much better and different the team is, to me, is important.
"Making our own mark and being noticed for building something special is the most important thing. Having the kids buy in and realize the possibility of being great is yet there."
Part of that something special is Parker, who attributes much of the credit for a breakout season on the shoulders of Floreal.
After two years of struggling, due largely to competing in the heptathlon, a multi-specialty event, Parker has hurdled her way up the UK history books – she put herself among the nation's elite with a personal best in the 60-meter hurdles during the indoor season – in large measure because of Floreal.
When Floreal came in, one of his first moves was putting Parker in her specialty, the 100 meter hurdles, in which she won four state titles in high school.
"It was more of an atmosphere change than anything," Parker said. "Coach (Floreal) is just so positive and has been so positive with me, working on technique and conditioning."
But Parker said, her indoor season did not finish on quite the up note as it began because, well, it wasn't 100 meters.
"The times were consistent but I could see I am a 100 meter hurdler," Parker said. "I am a strong closer. Indoors, there are five hurdles. I am strongest from hurdle three through eight (out of 10 hurdles outdoors) so I never had a chance to really show that closing speed."
Parker had spent much of the outdoor season ranked No. 10-11 in the East and 13th overall in the nation in her event.
So, as she said, it "wasn't a far-fetched idea" that she had what it took to qualify for her first nationals.
"The training I have done and trying to keep running the same time or faster, the consistency I think speaks for itself," Parker said of her outdoor season.
That she will be running on the same track made famous by the late Steve Prefontaine, considered one of the great middle- and long-distance runners the country has produced, only adds to the excitement.
"That is an amazing opportunity in itself," Parker said. "There have been so many great athletes that have run there. Last weekend they had the Prefontaine Classic and there were so many great runners there. That will be exciting just being on the track."
Parker said she is ready to step onto college track and field's biggest stage and compete against the best in the country.
"I'm feeling good," Parker said. "I'm ready. I'm healthy and I'm feeling strong."

Many of our patients choose to benefit from Wellness Care.
Migraines and Headaches are very commonly helped by chiropractic care.
Chiropractic is one of the most effective treatments for lower back pain.
If you are struggling with neck pain give our team a call today.
This common problem is something our team has had outstanding success with.
Chiropractic care is often the best long term solution for carpal tunnel.
It can be hard to select a chiropractor in Erie PA. Finding someone that puts you at ease and listens to your problems is very important. At River of Life Chiropractic we want you to feel comfortable with us. This article will help to give you some background about chiropractic, and what you can expect.
You will often hear people say that chiropractors crack, pop, and snap, back pain away, but there is much more going on than most patients realize. Chiropractors spend as much time in the classroom as medical doctors do, and they are considered primary care physicians. Chiropractic doctors focus their care on finding the source of the problem. Treating symptoms can make you feel better, but finding the source leads to long term success.
Chiropractic is a form of care that works with the musculoskeletal and nervous system. Doctors in this line of work are skilled to treat and diagnose any injury involving the bones, muscles, and nervous system. Chiropractors in Erie help the body to heal by removing the problems happening with the nervous system. New patients must have a consultation going over their current and past health issues. They must also have a physical exam. After going through these steps, the doctor will use the information to determine a diagnosis and set a treatment plan for the individual.
Chiropractic care in Erie should not be restricted to individuals suffering from pain of the back or injuries. This type of care is used as a program to maintain health. Stress on a person's body can take its toll. Chiropractors find that the majority of problems that we experience later in life started when we were young. It takes time for the problem to get bad enough for the pain to start.
If you want to learn about chiropractic care, please call River of Life Chiropractic for more information. Our team is here to help.

UC, CSU foundations remain obscure despite new law
SACRAMENTO, Calif. Under a law that took effect last year, the public has the right to access the records of private foundations that are affiliated with University of California and California State University campuses and examine how they spend the hundreds of millions of dollars they raise.
Or at least that was the idea behind legislation Gov. Jerry Brown signed in 2011 that made the foundations subject to the California Public Records Act.
Supporters described the law as a win for open government, but trying to get useful information out of the foundations since it passed raises questions about whether their records are any more accessible than in the past.
The Associated Press sought to determine the law's effectiveness in providing the types of information routinely available through state and local agencies under California's open records law. It tested how the law was being applied at several foundations and sought feedback from the legislation's advocates and its author.
What emerged was a daunting and sometimes frustrating exercise to detail even the most basic aspects of foundation spending.
The law did not establish uniform reporting requirements for the dozens of university foundations at the state's four-year higher education systems, creating a patchwork of efforts to comply with its disclosure requirements. Even determining how to contact the foundations and ask for the information can be a challenge.
The sheer scope of the foundation system is another obstacle.
The 23 CSU system campuses have 89 auxiliaries and foundations that control $1.6 billion, according to the CSU chancellor's office. The 10 University of California campuses have one foundation each with a total of $5.9 billion in assets, according to the UC Office of Institutional Advancement.
Like similar organizations affiliated with colleges across the country, they raise private donations, often from alumni, and spend it to support various university functions. Some were formed to help students or campus projects, while others are used to operate food services or bookstores.
Some foundations also provide additional compensation for university presidents and top-level administrators, ranging from cash to kitchen remodels. While no taxpayer money is involved directly, the presidents and top officials at the universities are frequently listed as board members or president of the foundations.
The flow of private money through the state's higher education system has come under greater scrutiny because of ongoing tuition increases and faculty cutbacks at the institutions, which educate a combined total of 646,000 students.
No entity within the CSU or UC systems collects the foundations' financial information, but there are so many of them within the CSU that they formed their own group, the Auxiliary Organizations Association. The association did not return telephone messages seeking comment for this story.
The AP requested documents describing or authorizing any payments on behalf of campus presidents and the next two top officials from foundations at three California universities, San Diego State University, CSU Sacramento and the University of California, Davis. That included a request for information about payments made to or on behalf of their family members for "automobiles, housing, renovations, salary, bonuses, health care and education."

Gallery: a look inside Bertone's museum
Can you name the Bertone classics we snapped in the company's heritage centre?
Posted: 27 Mar 2014
I'm sitting in the Bertone Jet 2+2 in a traffic jam in Italy next to a man named Marco. Marco is an Italian Bertone engineer with a rudimentary understanding of English and a strained look on his face. He is anxious because boredom has forced my hand, and I'm sitting here revving the Aston's 6.0-litre V12 to amuse onlookers (and myself). Marco helped build this one-off 'Jet 2+2'. It's rumoured to be worth some £1.1m, and he is unimpressed by my showboating.
Before he bursts a vein, I let the Jet idle, and reflect on just where we are. Not stuck next to wayward road-digging machinery edging closer to the Aston's bespoke bodywork, but at a point in Bertone's history. Marco explains that long before we get to coachbuilding bespoke V12s, we need to go back to the beginning of the 20th century.
Way back when, in 1912, a young farmer named Giovanni Bertone opened up a repair and construction garage for horse-drawn vehicles, because of course, in 1912, cars were a rarity in Turin, and the rough roads were dominated by actual horsepower.
World War I soon put an end to his garage, but - with his young son, affectionately nicknamed 'Nuccio' - the pair reopened after hostilities and managed to bag a big contract with Fiat. From there, Bertone slowly began building a steady stream of business, until he caught the eye of a certain gentleman named Vincenzo Lancia. Vince happened to notice Giovanni's talent with a pen, gave him a big sketchpad, and let him run free.
The father and son duo racked up the cars, the clients and the experience until Nuccio penned the gorgeous Alfa Romeo Giuilietta Sprint for the '54 Turin motor show, and everything went cosmic. An initial production run of 1000 units was pushed out to 40,000 over eleven years; at the end of the 50s, Bertone kickstarted a very fruitful friendship with Aston Martin, building the ludicrously gorgeous DB2/4. Success was a welcome friend, but perhaps even Nuccio - the man with the ultimate business savvy - couldn't have foreseen what would happen in the next decade.
Because of course, the 1960s were all about the Italian GT car, none more so than [drumroll please]...the Lamborghini Miura. "It's the one car that changed the fortunes of Lamborghini," opines Adrian Griffiths, Bertone's chief designer. Adrian's a smart chap, and a Brummie too; we're inclined to listen up, yow, as myself and Marco finally make it back through the traffic to marvel at the icons on display at Bertone's HQ.
"This upper part of the museum houses all of Nuccio's personal cars," he says, proudly. We're talking a serious bit of kit here: a pair of Alfa Giuliettas, a Miura, a Lamborghini Countach, an Alfa Romeo Montreal, and the Lancia Stratos. "The Stratos obviously changed the way we look at rallies," Adrian tells us. "Look at the Mini that was cleaning up before - very small, squat proportions. Then the Stratos came along, which has this lovely fast, flowing profile. It's magnificent." It certainly is.
Soon after the Stratos was launched however, Giovanni passed away. Nuccio responded with the Maserati Khamsin and Fiat X1-9, the later selling some 160,000 units, and Bertone even scored an entry into Ferrari's hallowed halls - much to the chagrin of rival Italian design house Pininfarina. The Ferrari 308 was entrusted to Nuccio and his firm, after which came the Countach, and a brace of others: the Bertone Barchetta, Chevrolet Ramarro, Ferrari 308 GT Rainbow, Bertone Kayak, Chevrolet Nivola and of course, the space-age Bertone Nuccio (pic no 1), built for last year's Geneva motor show to celebrate the company's 100th anniversary.
Adrian draws his step to a halt just next to the simply monstrous Jaguar B99 racing concept - the track version of the rather delightful B99 saloon that even Jaguar Land Rover boss Ratan Tata approved of - and he appears to have come to a profound thought. "On the English £2 coin," he notes, sagely, "there is an inscription that reads 'standing on the shoulders of giants'." He looks up at the pictures of Giovanni and Nuccio on the wall. "Here at Bertone, we have a heavy burden to make sure we continue in their tradition."
And with that, we're whisked back off to the Bertone Jet 2+2. It's a gorgeous thing, and caps off 60 years off collaboration between Bertone and Aston (the DB2/4, and the Jet 2+2's predecessor, the Vanquish-based 'Jet' are alumnus), parked up alongside the B99 for good effect. The Miura, Countach and Alfa glint in the background. "You see? Today, we're still standing on the shoulders of giants." Marco - still traumatised from TG.com driving the priceless, £1.1m Jet 2+2 in congested traffic - looks at the car, and then gives me a thumbs up. Giants indeed.

Let's set things straight: This story is titled "Black Magic" for a few reasons. First and most obvious, this '99 Corvette convertible is black. Its interior is black. Heck, it even has black wheels. But when coupled with "magic," black takes on an entirely new connotation. It implies something beyond the realm of the ordinary, but it also means something secret, something that can be brewed only with the most exotic of ingredients. As applied to an automobile, it means very special modifications have been done to the car to get it to be as fast as it is. It should conjure up images of secret engine coatings, high-dollar materials, and build techniques to help get every last horsepower out-driveability and reliability be damned.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Not only is this car built completely from parts anyone can buy off the shelf, but East Coast Supercharging can build one just like it for you too. Want to go mid-9s at well over 140 mph? No problem. Many have put ECS to the challenge, and they've come up with the results to back up the claim. In fact, as you are reading this, the record for the fastest supercharged Corvette has likely been broken again-by one of ECS's customers.
Car owner and ECS cofounder Douglas Ring explains: "That's why when people ask me, 'What will you do to break that other guy's record?' I say, 'Well, that guy is a customer of mine...' I'll break his record the next time we go out, but that's not the point. I want people to know that you can be a customer at ECS and get exactly this: record-breaking performance. I didn't do anything to make this car really one-off and unique. What you see here we absolutely can do for anyone.
Doug wanted nothing but a fresh canvas from which to create one helluva quick Vette. After purchasing the '99 a couple years back from a seller in the Sunshine State, Doug ordered up a GM C5-R block and stuffed it with a Callies crank, MGP rods, and 9.5:1 Diamond pistons. A set of LQ9 heads was ported and bolted atop, followed by a FAST intake and a 90mm throttle body. Equipped with the stock PCM and a custom ECS fuel system, the engine was ready to rock-almost. All that was missing was a big honkin' centrifugal supercharger to help fill the 427-incher's holes.
Utilizing one of ECS's own supercharger systems-at the time equipped with another manufacturer's head unit-Doug was able to pull some pretty impressive 9-second timeslips. But once the head unit was swapped for a Paxton Novi 2000, things got even better. "The top end has the same amount of boost as before, but the big improvement was at the bottom of the rpm range. The head unit I had been using was really slightly too big for my application. So when I swapped to a Paxton, the lower rpm was much more responsive. Plus, this Paxton is super quiet. All you hear is the big blow-off valve when I let off. It sounds like a jet!"
Doug built this car as a showcase of the company's capabilities, and also to show off at the East Coast Supercharging Corvette Challenge, a race series sponsored by ECS and held at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park, in Englishtown, New Jersey. "This event is actually E-town's largest attending series-not counting the NHRA national event, of course-in terms of registered racers," Doug says. (For more information on the ECS Corvette Challenge and other Challenge series held around the United States, see "Mounting a Challenge" in our April '06 issue.)

Under the close supervision of the faculty, the teaching assistant concurrently develops teaching skills and a deeper understanding of the discipline.
A Graduate Research Assistant may be appointed in a department with Graduate School funding or by the principal investigator of an externally funded research project. In either case, the student is assigned a range of duties such as library searches, field work, laboratory experiences, and preparation of research proposals and grants so as to gain professional skills in research which complement the student's graduate education.

A Graduate Assistant performs other duties that are not primarily teaching or research. These may include clinical or administrative responsibilities which are inherently related to the student's educational and career objectives.
