Big man, big job [12:48 PM]
San Diego Union Tribune reports: 'Butler, 54, said he's a "big believer" in building through the draft. At one point in the 2000 season, 18 of Buffalo's starters were drafted by the club. By contrast, only eight of the Chargers' starters in their season finale were San Diego draftees.'
Donahoe talks slow down [8:59 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '...it now has been 10 days since the first meeting between Wilson and Donahoe. If the Bills are anxious about striking a deal with the former personnel chief of the Pittsburgh Steelers, they don't appear to be showing it.'
Donahoe says talks with Bills ongoing [6:22 AM]
D and C reports: 'And while his name surfaced for top personnel jobs with the New York Jets and Detroit Lions the past two days, Donahoe insisted his focus is still on Buffalo.'
Butler to bring old pal to S.D. [6:20 AM]
D and C reports: 'But it appears undisclosed NFL officials, interpreting language in the league's anti-tampering policy, have determined that's it's unreasonable for the Bills to hold Smith to the final six weeks of his deal.'
Chargers pin their future on Butler [9:10 PM]
AP reports: 'Of immediate concern is whether Butler will be able to bring along A.J. Smith, the Bills' pro personnel director. Butler and Smith have worked together since the early 1980s. Smith is under contract to Buffalo through mid-February, and reportedly will be forced to serve out the time, unless the Chargers can get the NFL to intervene.'
Chargers name Butler vice president, GM [9:08 PM]
Sportsticker reports: '"It's a big challenge," said Butler, who was fired by Buffalo on December 19 after 14 years with the team. "I'm going to tell you this, nobody is going to outwork us. I don't like the word 'lose.' It's not part of my vocabulary."'
Butler named Executive Vice President/General Manager [9:04 PM]
San Diego Chargers reports: '"John Butler knows what it takes to win in this league," said Spanos. "He's had amazing success in the draft and has been responsible for building championship teams. His record in Buffalo speaks for itself.'
The Chargers did it: Butler takes GM job [1:58 PM]
North County Times reports: 'Once Butler became available ---- after contract talks with Bills owner Ralph Wilson collapsed ---- Spanos spurned other candidates and put Butler No. 1 on his list.'
John Butler comes on board as GM [12:19 PM]
San Diego Union Tribune reports: 'Buffalo owner Ralph Wilson denied the Chargers permission to talk to Smith yesterday, but a source said San Diego will seek to overturn Wilson's decision today by asking the commissioner's office to review Smith's contract.'
Chargers tab Butler as GM [9:06 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Butler will triple his salary, according to NFL and San Diego sources. His deal is worth $7.5 million over five years, the sources said, which is believed to put him among the top five paid GMs in the league.'
Bills' loss of Butler hurts in many ways [9:06 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Not every move Butler made was on target, but he had more hits than misses. He deftly guided the Bills through some difficult transitions, while keeping the team competitive. When it came to the salary cap, Butler based his decisions on how good a player is.'
Bills' owner blocks executive from exit [6:53 AM]
Providence Journal reports: 'Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson has decided to be petty, as well as penurious.'
Ralph Wilson is firing back [5:15 AM]
D and C reports: '...the 82-year-old owner of the Buffalo Bills yesterday denied the Chargers permission to interview his pro personnel director, A.J. Smith, for an undisclosed front office position.'
Wilson Passes The Ax [10:14 PM]
Buffalo Post reports: 'It's even harder to imagine Donahoe, who lost his job in Pittsburgh after a power struggle with Steelers coach Bill Cowher, being force-fed an incumbent coach.'
Bills coaches' futures to be decided by new GM [8:42 PM]
AP reports: 'Phillips, who is well-liked by the players, was criticized for his handling of quarterbacks Rob Johnson and Doug Flutie. Blame also fell on the Bills offensive coaching staff, headed by coordinator Joe Pendry, and first-year special teams coach Ronnie Jones.'
Chargers hire Butler as GM [8:41 PM]
AP reports: 'Butler will be introduced at a news conference Friday morning, spokesman Bill Johnston said.'
Here's a Vote for Sports Talk Radio to Get Real [2:01 PM]
Buffalo Beat reports: 'But let's face reality; a lot of times, our "experts" are long on opinion and short on everything else, including the facts. Once again, the hope must be that if you hear it said often enough, you'll believe that Johnson is better than Flutie, even if Flutie plays better, wins more games, and entertains the fans.'
Chargers clear the deck to let Butler do it as GM [1:49 PM]
San Diego Union Tribune reports: 'Chargers president Dean Spanos is so certain that former Buffalo Bills executive John Butler is the right man to take over his football operations that before boarding a private plane yesterday to meet with Butler in Las Vegas, Spanos fired the top two people in his personnel department.'
Chargers clear way for Butler [1:47 PM]
North County Times reports: 'Any chance Butler can entice Bills free-agent defensive end Marcellus Wiley (10 1/2 sacks) and/or disgruntled quarterback Rob Johnson - both Southern California residents - to tag along? Those familiar with Butler's success wouldn't be shocked.'
Bills divided on QB issue [7:04 AM]
CP reports: '"But Doug gets them going much more when he's on the field. He changes things when he's out there, it's a different game with Doug. But he is 38."'
Bills hurry up and wait for next GM [6:14 AM]
D and C reports: 'It's been learned Donahoe, who has comparable credentials to Butler, also wants a five-year deal worth at least $1 million annually, parameters Wilson may be unwilling to commit to.'
Chargers fire top personnel men [8:18 PM]
AP reports: 'The San Diego Chargers fired their top two talent evaluators Wednesday, presumably to clear the way for John Butler to be hired as general manager of the NFL's worst team.'
Christie: Bills divided by QB controversy [8:16 PM]
AP reports: 'He is the first Bills player to admit publicly how deeply the rift affected the team. Bills officials were not immediately available for comment.'
Chargers close to landing Butler [1:49 PM]
North County Times reports: 'It's believed Butler will be accompanied to San Diego by a number of his underlings in Buffalo. The most prominent person is A.J. Smith, the Bills' director of pro personnel.'
Titans miracle is thing of past, Gash concludes [12:27 PM]
Baltimore Sun reports: '"I don't care what happened back then, because it's not going to change," Gash said. "It's one of those things where you'll always remember it; you'll never forget it, but you learn from it."
Chargers set to name Butler GM [12:23 PM]
San Diego Union Tribune reports: 'Barring an unexpected setback, the Chargers will announce fired Buffalo Bills executive John Butler as their new general manager by the end of the week, a source close to the situation said last night.'
Wilson takes no action on Phillips [9:02 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Buffalo Bills head coach Wade Phillips had a meeting with team owner Ralph C. Wilson Jr. in Florida on Tuesday and walked away from it with his job intact, team sources said.'
Housecleaning of Bills needs to start now [9:01 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Wilson is the owner. It's his team Phillips turned into a national laughingstock. He should pull the trigger and spare his new general manager - most likely, Tom Donahoe - the trouble of coming to town with blood on his hands.'
Rooting for the enemy [9:01 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'The handful of followers of the University at Buffalo women's basketball team were excited to see Bills quarterback Doug Flutie at the Bulls game at Boston College last week. They were disappointed to learn that Doug was rooting for the Eagles and not Buffalo, but they should take solace in the fact that Flutie didn't really seem to know who BC was playing.'
Phillips job appears secure following meeting with Bills owner [6:35 AM]
AP reports: '"Mr. Wilson confirmed, as he did three weeks ago, that Wade Phillips is head coach of the Bills," team spokesman Scott Berchtold said after Wilson and Phillips held a daylong meeting at Wilson's home in West Palm Beach, Fla.'

Manchester asks voters to use reserve funds for park improvementsBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | February 02,2013MANCHESTER Voters at town meeting will be asked to allow $100,000 from a capital reserve fund to be used in developing two projects in the Dana L. Thompson Memorial Park, with half to be spent on finishing the new poolhouse and the rest to be used for renovations of the adjoining skate park.
The warning for town meeting has two questions, each asking that $50,000 be removed from the Capital Improvement Reserve and Contingency Fund. For the poolhouse that will serve the municipal pool, the request is to spend the money. For the skate park, the request is to move the money to the recreation department.
The skate park request is a bit more indirect for a reason, according to Manchester Town Manager John OKeefe. A group of people, including parents, students and skate park users, has committed to raising money to improve the skate park, and OKeefe said town officials want the town to participate through a challenge grant.
The plan to improve the park, which has not been finalized, is expected to cost about $100,000. Whatever the group raises, the town will match up to $50,000, if voters approve the ballot item, OKeefe said.
For the poolhouse, which is now being called a parkhouse because its expected to serve more than just pool users, the money would be used to add features which were not part of the original proposal.
In 2012, voters at town meeting approved a bond of $1.5 million to build the new parkhouse.
According to OKeefe, the proposed improvements, if voters agree to spend the $50,000, would include a security system with an electronic card access system. The system would allow more residents to be able to use the building at off-hours because rather than incur the expense of a staff member in the building to admit people, a guest could be issued a card which allows entrance only at specific times and dates.
The security system would monitor who is coming in to the parkhouse. Because the system can be updated in real time, if an authorized guest lost his or her card, the system could be updated right away to decline access.
The old building didnt have the security system, but OKeefe said he and the town insurance company believe the improved building should be protected.
Other proposed features include landscaping, lights for the parking lot, smoke alarms and a sound system that would play music much of the time the pool is open and serve as a public address system during swim meets. The parking lot lights and smoke alarms would provide increased safety and the music at the pool is something OKeefe said would likely increase use of the pool.
OKeefe said the building is wired for the features like the security system, lights, and sound system.
A Manchester business, Friends of the Sun, has helped the town develop a proposal for a propane-fueled heating unit which would be placed in the buildings activity room. OKeefe said it would allow the town to target the most heat to the place its most needed, and a program designed to encourage use of the system by municipalities would keep the cost of operation low.
The last feature is a surge tank, filled with water, that helps adjust the water level in the pool. Under the original plan, the tank would have been in the building but by spending some extra money, it will be moved outside which would remove the possibility it could back up and flood the parkhouse.
Both of the requests would be voted on during the floor meeting, which Manchester, unlike most other Vermont towns, holds on the Saturday before Town Meeting Day. This years floor meeting will start at 1 p.m. March 2.

Schottland Assumes Administrative Post At Kosair Hospital Edward M Schottland Chief Executive Off icer On February 5, 1979 Edward Schottland assumed the newly created position of Chief Executive Officer at Kosair Hospital. He had been selected by the Kosair Charities Committee from a large field of candidates narrowed - with the help of a national consulting firm - to five of the most qualified applicants in the country. He comes to Kosair from Mercy Hospital in Rockville Centre in New York to assume responsibility for all aspects of Kosair Hospital's administration. Since his arrival Mr. Schottland has been busy acquainting himself with every square inch of the hospital. He has been up elevator shafts and in most corners of the attic. He has also been getting to know with whom he will be working. He has had meetings with each department head and with key people in the community. His is a rigorous orientation program. Background Ed Schottland's impressive background includes a Master of Professional Studies in Hospital and Health Services Administration from Cornell University where he attended the Sloan Institute of Hospital Administration. This Institute is within Cornell's graduate school of business and public administration, one of the first business schools to sponsor a program in hospital administration. After receiving his degree, he became Assistant Administrator at Mercy Hospital in Rockville Centre, New York. He soon added the title of Director of Planning and assumed total responsibility for the planning and construction of a $10.2 million building program. As part of his administrative duties, he developed - with the Director of * Pediatrics - a program for progressive levels of newborn care and instituted a number of innovations to increase the efficient operation of the hospital. Philosophy Ed Schottland believes that a hospital must be run like a business because it is a business as well as a service organization. In our economic environment we must allocate scarce resources to provide the most services for the money. He was drawn to Kosair Hospital because of the challenge he feels and the potential he sees. He was impressed also by the Charities Committee's desire "to provide excellent care to a segment of the population often forgotten." New Louisvillians Ed and Nancy Schottland are still getting settled in Louisville. Nancy is a nutritionist and plans to resume her career the$p, or to continue her education. Both are avid sailors and are looking forward to launching a boat on the Ohio River this summer. With Nurse Mar jorie Robards and patient. Ed Schottland and Jeanne Seelbach, Director of Nursing, chat with patient Barbara Duke. Bethpage Town Parade The Bethpage High School Music Department will be in high gear for this year's parade to be held on May 30. The Golden Eagle Band, lead by its Majorette Trina Cau, will be joined by the Long Island Championship Kick-line, our own Bethpage Golden Girls. A newly formed flag and twirling corps will also join the band to make this parade a memorable occasion. The entire High School marching unit, under the direction of Mr. Fred Cohen, is looking forward to seeing you at our town parade. Teenage Beauty Lynne Anne Keerans, 18, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Donald L. Keerans (formerly of Plain-view), of RD No. 1, Andreas, Pennsylvania, has been named to a select group of young women to compete in the Pennsylvania State Finals of the Miss National Teenager Pageant. Lycoming College of Williamsport, Pa., will be the host of the three day event, June 1-3. The winner will then compete •in the National Finals, to be televised from Atlanta, Georgia. The Miss National Teenager Pageant is an excellent opportunity for young women to receive recognition and scholarship awards for their achievements in Leadership, Scholastic Standing, and their belief in "What's Right About America?" Miss Keerans is being sponsored in the pageant by the BAVARIAN FESTIVAL SOCIETY, INC. She will also be appearing at the festival this year which will run June 29 - July 15, in Barnesville, Pennsylvania. Lynne was born in Bethpage and attended the Bethpage Public Schools.

She is also a member of the Ultimate FrisbeeTeam. Judging in the pageant is based on Appearance, Poise, Civic Contributions, and a 100 word essay on "What's Right About America?" The Pageant stresses high ideals but most of all Americanism. Dog Obedience Classes Now that summer's coming it might be a good time to take advantage of Bide-A-Wee Home Association's dog obedience courses, which are held on an ongoing basis at both its Long Island locations. The seven-week course costs $40.00 and covers complete on-leash obedience training, as well as solutions to various canine behavior problems. Classes meet once a week and are limited in size to allow maximum personalized attention. In Wantagh the classes are conducted by the training staff of The Particular Pet, and in Westhampton by Kilcommons Professional Dog Training Ltd. To register, and for further information, call 516 / 427-7328 (Wantagh) or 516/325-0200 (Westhampton). Bide-A-Wee, a non-profit animal welfare organization whose main function is to find new homes for dogs and cats that can no longer be kept by their owners, also maintains veterinary clinics - open to the public on an appointment basis ~ and pet memorial parks. Oftentimes pets are given up to shelters simply because the owners don't know how to properly train and handle them. These obedience classes have been very instrumental in preventing such situations and keeping dogs with their original owners. Bide-A-Wee is at 3300 Beltagh Avenue in Wantagh and on Old Country Road in Westhampton. New Arrival "Marianne and Bill Quirein of Bethpage are happy to announce the arrival of their firstborn child, William Steven Quirein. Little Billy was born on Friday, April 13, 1979 at North Shore University Hospital in Maithasset. He weighed in at 7 pounds Ul 2 ounces and measured 20^ inches in length."

Middle school was the first time I was exposed to subliminal messaging; it was a concept that blew the underdeveloped minds of my class and me. The fact our minds could process information and create new ideas without our conscious mind is a scary thing. Could this eliminate the concept of free will altogether? A study was done to test just this.
In this study, subjects were subliminally flashed a letter. Their conscious mind had no idea that the letter had even been stimulated in their subconscious mind. Next, a set of different letters were set in front of the subject and they were asked to choose a letter at random. In this case, the letter that was flashed was almost exclusively chosen from the random set, proving the subconscious holds weight in executing simple tasks. What the experimenters found next was the interesting part. They repeated the experiment but made it more mentally taxing for the subjects. The increased level of concentration hindered the minds ability to receive subliminal messages. For example, the subjects were distracted while a colored letter was flashed subliminally on a screen in front of them. The fMRI scans revealed no neurological activity in the brain during the subliminal stimulus which led the scientists to conclude, "the brain does not pick up on subliminal stimuli if it is too busily occupied with other things... some degree of attention is needed for even the subconscious to pick up on subliminal images" (Science Daily).
This finding made me curious about subliminal messaging in the commercial media. Is brand recognition too much for the subconscious to process? Especially when our whole attention isn't focused on the commercial? It would be a scary thing if corporations could take away our free will in terms of purchasing their product. If they found a way to simplify the message enough to target our subconscious, our conscious ability to choose could be eliminated altogether. I don't know about you, but this idea scares me a lot.

WOW...these ROCK! i TOTALLY love these shoes and have been waiting for Bebe to bring on some super high platform heels! These are cool, fierce, hot and sophisticated. More please!? I am a pro as far as being able to handle very tall shoes and these are comfortable but they are a little wobbly because of the skinny heel and the fact that the platform is a little narrower on the bottom than it it is on top. If you are an experienced high heel wearer, this wont be a problem..but it might be a bit much for a high heel novice. I rocked these babies with Bebe's Dusty Gray Signature Skinny jeans and Bebe's Black Cold Shoulder Ribbed Logo Top for a Friday girls night out. I looked HOT! Thanks Bebe! November 21, 2013
Sexy heel I love this shoes but like the ither review said they are wayyy too high and i had to return them too November 7, 2013
Hot but too high! Love everything about this heel but it's way too high that is it hard to walk, so I had to return them. I wish it was 6". November 5, 2013
Very sexy I would give these a 5 star but they are like walking on stilts! I love these shoes however the height is way to tall. Please bring these shoes in with a shorter heel height. October 29, 2013

From 1967 through 1972, the venerable Quadrajet carburetor was used on many Chevelles ordered with standard performance engines, and those applications will be the focus of this article. Quadrajets were manufactured by Rochester (a division of General Motors) and Carter carburetors. Outsourcing carburetor production allowed delivery to meet demand as the Q-jet was used on other Chevrolet models and virtually every other GM nameplate as well.
With so many carbs in production for a myriad of applications, finding the right one for your Chevelle can be a challenge. There are a couple of locations containing the codes needed to identify your Quadrajet; both are located on the driver side of the carb body. Early Q-jets used a circular tag stamped with the codes found in a cavity in the side of the float bowl, while later carburetors used a stamping on the body of the carb.
Breaking down the carb codes is fairly simple once you have some basic idea of how the system is setup. Information included in the stamped alpha-numeric codes are the model/application number (usually seven digits), and a date code. All Carter-built Q-jets have "Mfd by Carter" cast into the carb body, although the carb numbers (application codes) are the same as Rochester-built carbs.
Outin' The Code
The stamped part number decodes as follows:
Example: #70 4 0 2 0 5 EH 0260 70 = Prefix code. "70" will appear on all Q-jets through 1976
4 = Decade produced (ie: 2=1960's; 3=1960's with A.I.R.; 4=1970-1975)
0 - Year produced. 0=1970
2 = Model (ie: 2=Quadrajet (4 bbl) Federal standards;
(4 bbl) California standards)
1 - Division. 0, 1, and 2 all indicate Chevrolet.
9 - Transmission (ie: Even numbers=Automatic Trans; Odd numbers=Manual Trans)
DG - Customer code (assigned for each application, matches carb code on build sheet)
0260 - Julian Date Code (026=26th day of the year; 0=year of production, 1970)

Dr. Holick's Responses to Participant Questions During the December 5, 2008 Live Webinar Presentation "Vitamin D & Chronic Disease Risk"
I have heard that vitamin D may play a role in epilepsy, possibly due to interaction with anti-epileptic drugs. Is this becoming an acknowledged effect? And how much vitamin D is necessary to combat the interaction to reduce seizures?
Response: Epileptic drugs will enhance the destruction of vitamin D making patients who are on anti-seizure medications at higher risk for developing vitamin D deficiency and osteomalacia or rickets. Measurement of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] is important in patients on antiepileptic medications. Often twice as much vitamin D is required to maintain a blood level of 25(OH)D of > 30 ng/ml. Thus, 2,000-4,000 IU of vitamin D/d is usually needed. An alternative is to take 50,000 IU of vitamin D2 either once every week or once every two weeks depending on the serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level.
What is your position on vitamin D and depression and schizophrenia?
Response: There is evidence that vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy increases the risk of the child developing schizophrenia during their adult life. There is also evidence that vitamin D receptors exist in the brain, and that the active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, Read more of this article »

Does Amazon includes tshirt?
I saw that Newbury Comics was selling the cd/dvd with a t-shirt for $24, but it's sold out.
Does anyone know if the Amazon version for $18 also includes the shirt or is it just the cd/dvd?
PS) Amazon version: http://www.amazon.com/The-Paradigm-Shift-DVD-Deluxe/dp/B00ECTZKJ6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381035166&sr=8-1&keywords=korn+paradigm+shift+deluxe
Replies to This Posting
Re: Does Amazon includes tshirt?
Newbury's does NOT come with a T-shirt. All Deluxe versions come with a coupon card to redeem for a T-Shirt. It doesn't matter where you buy the Deluxe version, they all have the coupon from what I understand.

Re: Does Amazon includes tshirt?
Is this US only as I have recieved my deluxe edition and there was no coupon
RE: Does Amazon includes tshirt?
Every time I have gotten "best buy CD deluxe with a T-shirt" they have always come in one size: XL. So if it is not your size, it is kind of awkward to wear, I usually don't end up wearing them.
Anyway I ordered mine off Amazon last night. Amazon includes an mp3 download of the album right away, so I've been listen to the album already. I really like when Amazon does that, because I don't have to wait for it to arrive in the mail to start listening to it.

Truck stuck in Sydney tunnel
Major delays are expected after a truck became jammed in a tunnel on the Eastern Distributor in Sydney, Thursday morning. Nine News.PT1M35S http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-31oco 620 349 January 30, 2014

A truck that blocked an Eastern Distributor tunnel for hours on Thursday, causing long delays, has been removed and traffic has returned to normal.
The southbound tunnel was closed at Moore Park just after 8am on Thursday after a truck knocked the sprinklers in the tunnel.
Police said the truck appeared to be over the allowed height for the tunnel and reports suggested its tip tray was up.

The truck was removed from the tunnel about 3pm, authorities said, and all southbound lanes were reopened at Dacey Avenue.
Traffic was still backed up to The Domain tunnel at 3pm but by 4.30pm traffic was back to normal for peak hour, a spokeswoman from the Transport Management Centre said.
The southbound Eastern Distributor will close again at 9pm for repairs.
Traffic has been backed up all morning. Photo: Peter Rae

Understanding the EU Emissions Trading Scheme: An SIS Report
By Michael Stanat, Research Executive, SIS International Market Research, May 2, 2009
The largest international emissions trading scheme in the world began in Europe in January 2005. Known as the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS), the EU ETS unified many countries and sectors into a vast carbon emissions trading mechanism. Its goal was by 2012 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 8% back to 1990 emissions levels. In 2006, there were 10,078 installations, plus Poland's more than 1000 installations. This portfolio of installations, including chemical, energy, mineral and industrial industries, constituted nearly half of all EU emissions. The second phase beginning in 2008 and extending to 2012 plans to go beyond by involving other industries, including commercial aviation and airports.

By some guy
from Houston, TX
I ordered a gift for my sister and was told it would arrive at her house on her birthday, and yet, it did not arrive until four days after that. Considering that this is a company that specializes in gifts, timely delivery should be the most important aspect of their services and instead it seems that they simply do not care. I will almost certainly not order from here again.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Great gift!

Files show how LA church leaders shielded priests
At the time, clergy were not mandated sex abuse reporters and the church let the victims' families decide whether to contact police, he added.
In at least one case, a priest victimized the children of illegal immigrants and threatened to have them deported if they told, the files show.
The files are attached to a motion seeking punitive damages in a case involving a Mexican priest sent to Los Angeles in 1987 after he was brutally beaten in his parish south of Mexico City.
When parents complained the Rev. Nicholas Aguilar Rivera molested in LA, church officials told the priest but waited two days to call police - allowing him to flee to Mexico, court papers allege. At least 26 children told police they were abused during his 10 months in Los Angeles. The now-defrocked priest is believed to be in Mexico and remains a fugitive.
The personnel files of 13 other clerics were attached to the motion to show a cover-up pattern, said attorney Anthony De Marco, who represents the 35-year-old plaintiff. In one instance, a memo to Mahony discusses sending a cleric to a therapist who also is an attorney so any incriminating evidence is protected from authorities by lawyer-client privilege. In another instance, archdiocese officials paid a secret salary to a priest exiled to the Philippines after he and six other clerics were accused of having sex with a teen and impregnating her.
The exhibits offer a glimpse at some 30,000 pages to be made public as part of a record-setting $660 million settlement. The archdiocese agreed to give the files to more than 500 victims of priest abuse in 2007, but a lawyer for about 30 of the priests fought to keep records sealed. A judge recently ordered the church to release them without blacking out the names of church higher-ups after The Associated Press and the Los Angeles Times intervened.
They echo similar releases from other dioceses nationwide that have shown how church leaders for decades shuffled problem priests from parish to parish, covered up reports of abuse and didn't contact law enforcement. Top church officials in Missouri and Pennsylvania were criminally convicted last year for their roles in covering up abuse, more than a decade after the clergy sex abuse scandal began to unfold in Boston.
Mahony, who retired in 2011 after 26 years at the helm of the 4.3-million person archdiocese, has been particularly hounded by the case of the Rev. Michael Baker, who was sentenced to prison in 2007 for molestation - two decades after the priest confessed his abuse to Mahony.
Mahony noted the "extremely grave and serious situation" when he sent Baker for psychological treatment after the priest told him in 1986 that he had molested two brothers over seven years.
Baker returned to ministry the next year with a doctor's recommendation that he be defrocked immediately if he spent any time with minors. Despite several documented instances of being alone with boys, the priest wasn't removed from ministry until 2000. Around the same time, the church learned he was conducting baptisms without permission.

Ashby de la Zouch (often shortened simply to Ashby) is a small market town and civil parish in north west Leicestershire, England, within the National Forest. Prior to 1974, Ashby-de-la-Zouch had its own local government district, but since 1974, it has formed part of the North West Leicestershire local government district within the administrative county boundaries of Leicestershire.
It has a historic 15th century castle. The castle area was the setting for Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott. A local high school is named after the book (Ivanhoe College, for 11 to 14-year-olds). In 1464 the town and castle came into the possession of the Hastings family. Later the town was one of the Royalists' "chief garrisons" under the control of Colonel Henry Hastings, 1st Baron Loughborough and commander of the North Midlands Army. When the town fell after a long siege in March, 1646 it was counted a great relief to the surrounding towns and villages.
The local upper school, Ashby School, previously Ashby Grammar School, is a mixed comprehensive school for 14 to 18-year-olds and has its roots in the 16th century. The parish church, St Helen's, houses a rare 300 year-old finger pillory, which may have been used to punish people misbehaving in church.
Many of the buildings in Market Street, the town's main thoroughfare, have timber framing, but most of this is hidden by later brick facades. The Bull's Head pub retains the original Elizabethan half-timbering. There are also Regency buildings in this street. Bath Street has a row of Classical-style houses dating from the time that the town was a spa.
Other employers in Ashby include Standard Soap, Tesco, the art materials manufacturer Calder Colours, Ashfield Healthcare, Eduteq Limited and TAC . There is also a concentration of high-tech employers. Ashby was home to the video game software house Ashby Computer Graphics, also known as Ultimate Play The Game, now called Rare. They have since moved to a custom built premises at Manor Park, just down the road from Twycross.
The Midland Railway reached Ashby in 1845, placing the town on an important route between Leicester and Burton upon Trent. In the 20th century the passenger train service through Ashby was withdrawn. The Leicester - Burton railway continues to run through the town, but now it carries only freight. In the 1990s there was an unsuccessful plan to restore passenger services as a branch of Leicestershire's Ivanhoe Line; however, it remains within Leicestershire County Council's Structure Plan as a project awaiting funding.
Formerly, both the A50 Leicester to Stoke-on-Trent road and the A453 Birmingham to Nottingham road passed through the town centre. The heavy traffic which previously travelled through the town has been substantially relieved by the A42 and A511 bypasses, which replaced the A453 and A50 respectively.
The nearest railway station is in Burton upon Trent, over 12.8 km (eight miles) away. Leicester railway station also provides an efficient 1hr 10 minute Midland Mainline high speed rail link to the London terminus station at St Pancras which became the home of international Eurostar trains in November 2007. Calls have been made for the Leicester to Burton upon Trent Line to be opened as part of the Ivanhoe Line. Ashby station closed in the 1960s.
East Midlands Airport is 9 miles (14.5 km) north of Ashby (approx. 12 mins drive) and provides flight connections in the UK and Europe.
Frequent bus routes provide an hourly direct service to Leicester and Burton-upon-Trent (Arriva Midlands X2 & 8) and the National Express Coach Network links to Leicester for intercity connections and a daily direct service to London.
The Statutes Fair is a funfair instituted by the Royal Statute held every September.
Ashby is twinned with Pithiviers.
On a tangential note, in April of 1946 the American jazz bassist and composer Charles Mingus recorded a tune called "Ashby de la Zouch" with his band, dubbed Baron Mingus and His Octet. It was issued as a single on 4 Star Records but has never been reissued in any form. Rather than having much to do with the town, the title was probably a nod to guitarist Irving Ashby's participation in the record session.

'Backstage' features CSC students, facultyANDERS AX
Staff WRITER | February 08,2013Provided Photo
Nick Grasso, left, and Colin Kelly of Suskatune perform at Total Backstage Access in 2011.Looking for a music festival but don't want to travel far?
Castleton State College will host its 11th annual Total Backstage Access concert Saturday, featuring the talents of nine bands consisting of students, staff, faculty and alumni.
The event runs from 2 to 11 p.m. and features an assortment of genres including rock, hip hop, acoustic, even "screamcore."
CSC's director of technical services, MacArthur Stine, said the concert was open to the public and "totally free." He encouraged locals to join in, dance and have fun.
"It's going to be really awesome," said John Lucas, a theatrical design major and member of the CSC technical services crew. "It's a whole new venue. There's going to be a lot more flow going through. People will be more willing to stay and watch live music because they're not taking a hike to get there."
Unlike previous years, this show won't be in the Fine Arts Center due to availability complications, but instead will take place at the Campus Center.
The new venue will feature two stages: one in the Fireside Cafe and one on the floor above. That way, crew members can swap out systems for one band while another plays. The music will literally never stop from 2 to 11 p.m. and there will always be something different to listen to.
Chad Voghell has been a key asset in helping to put together TBA since its inception in 2002. As a CSC alumnus and former director of technical services, it's the first year he's worked on the show from off campus.
"Yeah, its going to be kind of weird because I haven't been there," Voghell said in a phone interview. "But I'm using a lot of my former students to relay messages and help find acts for the show."
TBA is the one time of the year when the technical services crew truly get to show off its talents in designing a show.
"It's always been about them," Voghell said. "Basically they do 150-175 events a year, that the department covers. ... They get to do a show the way they want to do it."
Lucas agreed and is excited to feature tech services' talents and design capabilities.
"TBA is like the best thing every year for tech services," he said. "We love this. This is where we get to hang out and do things with our lives ... no limits. I can design the lights for the show with no limitations."

Kent State University School of Art Gallery Features Authentic Japanese PrintsPosted Aug. 24, 2012
Kent State University's School of Art Galleries present the exhibition "Japanese Prints & Japonisme," curated by Sharon Divell, from Aug. 28–Oct. 5 at the School of Art Gallery at 400 Janik Dr. on the Kent Campus. Hours are Tuesday–Friday, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information, call 330-672-7853. There will be an opening reception on Aug. 30 from 5-7 p.m. that is free and open to the public.
"The exhibit features over a dozen Japanese prints and two Japanese sword guards on loan from the Kent State University Museum," said director of galleries Anderson Turner. There are also additional works that represent the influence of Japanese art on the rest of the world.
In the second half of the19th century, the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists found inspiration in Japanese prints. The obvious flatness of these prints and the placement of complementary colors next to each other caught the attention of Edouard Manet and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. Depictions of the changing moods of weather influenced Claude Monet and other Impressionists. Line and shape are basic elements of all Japanese prints and as Paul Gauguin moved away from optical realism, line, shape and color came to dominate his paintings. Printmakers and painters such as Mary Cassatt and Edgar Degas created bold new compositions.
In Europe and America, all things Japanese were avidly collected and Japanese arts and crafts were admired in world fairs everywhere.
"The collection of the School of Art at Kent State University boasts a selection of pieces representing this important conversation. We are excited to be able to share them with the community," said Divell.
Divell served as assistant to the curator of Asian art at the Cleveland Museum of Art under the directorship of Sherman E. Lee. She has taught Asian art history for many years at Ursuline College and, more recently, at Kent State University. She earned her master's degree in art history from Case Western Reserve University.

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
While we are seeing more attention to addressing the paucity of useful national entrepreneurship data globally, efforts to develop comparable city-level information have been less of a focus with only a handful of global city rankings. How are city leaders now moving beyond dated "cluster and technology park" thinking to appeal to entrepreneurs and investors?
In my final post of 2013, I summarize my top of mind developments in the world's entrepreneurship data chest. Next year will herald a new era in evidence-based programming and policymaking as practitioners and policymakers alike—now committed to new firm formation—demand better data and analysis around what entrepreneurship promotion efforts are working and what is hype.
I know few of you plan to comb through entrepreneurship data and analysis over the holidays but the following summary might be helpful to all of us as we embark upon a renewed effort in 2014 to fill the gaps in what we can tell those who are eager to help founders start and scale new firms. This list is by no means comprehensive but rather what was most visible to me as a global observer and commentator. Please let me know what I missed.
Early in his Administration, President Enrique Peña Nieto embarked on a serious mission to fuel entrepreneurial growth by challenging Mexico to better tap into its people's creativity and boost productivity. On January 11, 2013—less than two months after he took office—he signed a decree that created the National Institute for Entrepreneurs (INADEM). Few governments have institutionalized their commitment to building an entrepreneurship ecosystem as highly as Mexico, which now has a decentralized administrative office of the Secretariat of Economy dedicated to entrepreneurs.
December is here already, but some policymakers in the U.S. are not ready to end the year with entrepreneurship-enabling legislation on the back burner. Taking an "across-all-industries" approach, the Start-up Jobs and Innovation Act introduced last month in the Senate aims to stimulate investment in research-intensive startups.
I ended Global Entrepreneurship Week 2013 last week in Moscow just in time to see a GEW-themed bus driving around different universities, schools and gatherings while testing young peoples' entrepreneurial skills and engaging them in the world of founding businesses. Skeptics in the international community might want to take a closer look at what cities can do – even in environments where there are persistent national barriers to new firm formation.
As another November fades into our rearview mirror, we are again reminded that the phenomenon of entrepreneurship is not something that belongs to any one particular community or country. Economies that have been historically less supportive of capitalism—like Venezuela or Iran—are seeing the rise of strong entrepreneur-led startup communities. And equally as important, those communities are bolstered by increasing support from policymakers, academics, investors, media and other startup champions.
The work to support entrepreneurs continues and it reaches a high point this week as Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) launches today in 140 countries with more than 7.5 million participants involved. Thousands of brand new startups are taking their first step this week, while others are driving their next growth phase.
Next week, King Mohammed VI of Morocco is visiting President Obama in Washington, DC, on the heels of an announcement that his Majesty's government will convene an entrepreneurship summit in 2014 with the U.S. Government. Morocco has much to gain from its new partnership with the United States around startups.
In the midst of angst about Argentina's political environment for businesses, Buenos Aires has made a strong commitment to review policies and programs with a vision of unleashing a new wave of entrepreneurs that will put the city back in the top places to start and grow a startup. During this year's Global Entrepreneurship Week, the City Government will be presenting the Buenos Aires City Entrepreneurship's Master Plan.
