Nationally Competitive Scholarships
Preparing for Exceptional Undergraduate and Graduate Experiences
What Are Nationally Competitive Scholarships?
Nationally competitive scholarships (also known as "fellowships") like the Rhodes, Fulbright, Marshall and Truman have the distinction of being some of the most prestigious and competitive merit-based awards available to U.S. undergraduate and graduate students. In other words, the "Gold Medal" of scholarships. Selection for one of these fellowships means you are recognized as a leader and change agent in your chosen field and society now and in the future.
Preparation for nationally competitive scholarships often starts long before your senior year. But don't be discouraged if graduation is looming, you're already in a graduate program or you're a "non-traditional" student. There are options. No matter where you are in your academic career, you should make every effort to engage in activities that broaden your personal, academic and professional horizons.
No formula exists to create the "perfect candidate;" however, most scholarship committees are looking for outstanding students who have the following characteristics:
Why Should I Apply?
You should apply because there are many long-term benefits from your investment of time and energy.
Develop "Real World" Skills. By participating in the scholarship application process, you are learning how to:
All these skills will serve you well in school, your job and personal life.
Broaden Your Horizons. The quest for fellowships gives you a chance to try new things through electives, internships and innovative research projects. You should establish a coherent and comprehensive plan of action that includes interdisciplinary coursework, service learning, foreign language classes and other unique opportunities.
Surprise Yourself. Maybe you don't have a clear idea of what you want to do with your life. Maybe you think you haven't accomplished much. Maybe you want to see how you measure up to other top students across the U.S. The nature of the fellowship application process forces you to put yourself "under a microscope" and undergo unprecedented scrutiny from yourself and others. Such thorough examination will reveal new ideas and directions for you to pursue.
How Do I Prepare?
Pursue a challenging curriculum.Take advantage of elective courses, internships and independent study to broaden your knowledge, experience and point of view.
Lead, don't follow. Find opportunities to propose and implement positive changes in your academic department, campus organizations and community.
Think globally. Make study abroad an integral part of your academic program. Learn a new language. Gain first-hand knowledge of countries and cultures from students in the International Student Office. Understand how your interests and concerns fit into the world-at-large.
Be informed and form opinions. Keep up-to-date with current events by reading national and international newspapers and journals on a regular basis. Actively inform and cultivate your opinions on major issues. Develop connections between your field and the world around you.
Know the field. Who are the leaders in your field? Keep up with the latest research developments, publications and conference proceedings through faculty, journals, books and the World Wide Web. Are you able to intelligently and thoroughly discuss the latest developments in your area of interest?
Find Faculty. Get to know your department faculty well. Their knowledge, advice and contacts will be very valuable in your academic career. Map out long term plans with your adviser. Incorporate exceptional academic, extracurricular and service learning experiences into your course work.
Find the campus coordinator. The Office of Nationally Competitive Scholarships is your advocate! It is a one-stop-shop for information about resources, applications, deadlines and advice to guide you through the process. Each prestigious scholarship has specific criteria -- one or more scholarships may fit your interests and experience better than others.

Letter carrier accused of getting pot through the mailBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | February 12,2013BENNINGTON A part-time letter carrier for the post office in Bennington is facing a felony charge after an investigation by a postal inspector determined he had received more than a pound of marijuana in the mail from California in December.
Shea M. Mayhew, 26, of Bennington, pleaded innocent last week to a felony charge of possession of marijuana. He was released without bail.
In a report sent to Trooper Scott Dunlap, of the Vermont State Police, Postal Inspector Gene Griffin, who is based in Springfield, Mass., said he had spoken with another letter carrier, Trevor Currier, on Dec. 17. Currier said a few weeks prior to that date a package came through addressed to Mayhews home but bearing a name (Currier) didnt recognize. Currier said he asked Mayhew about the package and noted that Mayhew acted kind of flustered and scared and, at first, claimed he did not recognize the name.
Currier said Mayhew later said someone from Colorado had moved to the home and offered to take the package but Currier said he would deliver it. Currier also noted that when he delivered the package, Mayhews car was at the home although Currier said he believed Mayhew was typically delivering the mail along his own route at that time.
According to Currier, he watched Mayhew bring the package inside.
On Dec. 17, there was a similar package from California. Griffin said that California was known to be a place from which packages of marijuana were illegally mailed.
Trooper Wayne Godfrey brought his canine officer, Tarawa, to the Bennington Police Station on Dec. 18. Among four dummy packages, Tarawa alerted police to the package addressed to Mayhews home, Griffin said.
After a search warrant was obtained, the package was opened and one pound, three ounces of marijuana was found inside, according to Griffins report.
The package was placed on Mayhews desk on Dec. 21 with a note that said it was addressed to his home and he could take it with him but would need to bring it to supervisors so they could scan it and mark it delivered. Griffin said this gave Mayhew the opportunity to not take the package and his supervisors were told he was not to be stopped if he left without it.
However, Griffin said Mayhew left the post office building with the package. He was stopped by police but refused to discuss the package.
Griffins report said his investigation found that Mayhew mailed a package, which he believed to be payment for the marijuana, to an address in California. Based on a note in the package sent to Mayhew in December and other evidence, Griffin said he believed the sender may be a woman that Griffin knows who lives in California but who had been charged with possession of marijuana in New Hampshire in 2009.
Thomas Rizzo, a postal service spokesman, said it was difficult to say exactly what would happen to an employee charged with a crime involving the use of the mail.
Rizzo said the government agency was guided by our employee and labor manuals, which are derived from federal code and are applied on a case-by-case basis due to unique circumstances of each situation.
Because of privacy guidelines, the postal service cant comment on Mayhew, according to Rizzo.
While the case has elements of using the mail and moving drugs across state lines, Bennington County States Attorney Erica Marthage said the case had been brought to her office to prosecute. However, she said the U.S. attorneys office could still choose to prosecute Mayhew as well.

Midwest Living Review
Cincinnati is a small city that's big on art, and the Cincinnati Art Museum is proof of that. Situated in Eden Park, with ample parking ($4, but that's the only charge -- admission is free), the museum dates to 1886 (though the 1907 addition is what gave it the rectangular shape). A brilliant blue Chihuly chandelier greets visitors in the lobby of the main entrance, and you can head upstairs immediately into the American and European galleries or walk straight ahead through the antiquities exhibits (Etruscan, Greek, Roman, Egyptian -- you'll find all kinds of B.C. goodies). If it's a nice day, pop outside to the courtyard, where a few pieces of sculpture from Harriet Frishmuth ("The Vine" and "The Star") inspire. On the first floor, definitely don't miss Cincinnati Wing (added in 2003). Learn all about local arts patron Frank Duveneck and Rookwood Pottery; see pieces by decorative arts masters and artists like Henry Farny, Edie Harper and Dixie Selden. Our favorite is the huge bright abstract mobile by Alexander Calder ("Twenty Leaves on an Apple," 1946). You won't be disappointed in the European or American galleries upstairs. Enjoy John Singer Sargent's "A Venetian Woman" (1882), Mary Cassatt's "Mother and Child" (1889), Matisse's "Romanian Blouse" (1937), Van Gogh's "Undergrowth of Two Figures" (1890), Edward Hopper's "Sun on Prospect Street" (1934), as well as pieces from Wyeth, Cezanne, Picasso, Remington, Degas, and plenty of portraits of kings and queens from centuries ago. The early-European galleries have fabulous 14th-century altars, and of course, there are some contemporary selections, too (and rotating exhibits that feature the works of more contemporary artists). Each gallery is truly a surprise.

Cabins 1-5 at Myakka River State Park will be closed from May 1, 2016 through November 30, 2016 for a cabin restoration project.
The cabins will be closed until the end of April 2016 due to renovations
In an effort to better serve park visitors we are planning a major renovation of the historic Civilian Conservation Corps cabins. Improvements will include raising the cabins above the flood stage, new pine wood floors, new appliances, and repairs throughout. These improvements will prevent unexpected closures in the summer months, and enhance the overall visitor experience. Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin November 1, 2014 and should be completed by April 30, 2016. We apologize for the inconvenience but the long needed renovations will be worth the wait.
No pets of any kinda are allowed in cabins!
Each cabin has 2 double beds and 1 double pullout sofa bad..
*Please call the park before you arrive to find out the flood level of the river.

Company Snapshot
Created by three Brazilian university students, a university incubator and an angel investor, Movile (formerly nTime) is a company that develops innovative software for the mobile phone market using 100% Brazilian technology. Their mobile desktop and wireless games were the first of their kind in the Brazilian market and Brazil's two largest operators, Vivo and Telecom Americas, adopted Movile as their official platform for email and games. As a result, Movile has exclusivity in offering access to mail applications, remote file management and infotainment for more than 23 million mobile phone users. In only three years, Marcelo, Rafael and Eduardo built a company that is the benchmark in the Brazilian wireless market. Its products have become the market standard, and will be included as standard in all mobiles sold by Brazil's two largest operators. Movile is receiving offers to sell its solutions in other countries – including the U.S., Italy and Portugal.
Marcelo Sales, Rafael Duton and Eduardo Bernardes met at Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC)'s computer engineering school. Rafael and Eduardo showed a young entrepreneurial spirit by founding the first multi-disciplinary undergraduate students consulting company at PUC. Marcelo worked for Wiz Technologies, a recently created wireless application development company, where he was responsible for software development. As the final project for a school course, he developed a platform for the creation of wireless games that relied on minimum programming. Rafael and Eduardo, for their final course project, developed a business plan for Marcelo's platform. The three graduates applied for the support of the university's business incubating unit. Roger Douek, a successful telecom executive who was a member of the jury, saw the business's potential and decided to invest US$50,000. Movile, then called nTime, was created in 2000.
Lacking the money to pay wages, the entrepreneurs invited talented colleagues to join the team in return for company shares. The team improved Marcelo's initial platform, and soon produced commercial-quality games for Brazil's then largest wireless portal, Selig. In 13 months, they had garnered 55,000 users and 1,000,000 minutes. At the same time, the partners identified a new opportunity. Forced to work on their home PCs while the company's infrastructure was being set up, they often needed to access their office PCs for a document or data. They created software enabling users access their personal PCs from a mobile phone and download documents. They soon added additional features to the prototype – enabling receipt of emails, reading of MS Office and PDF files, integration with MS Outlook (calendar, contacts, to-do lists), and sending of files for printout by fax. The new software, Mobile Desktop, was the company's first product for the corporate market. According to a March 2003 statement by VIVO's CIO in a leading Brazilian newspaper, "Movile's Mobile Desktop is the killer application for our corporate users. There is nothing similar in the world."
In the infotainment area, Movile's Quiz, addressed to the mass market, took off when the company partnered with magazine publisher Editora Abril to use the magazine content in games. The partnership attracted attention of Brazil's two largest operators, who signed exclusive contracts with Movile – making Quiz the most popular platform among mobile users. Movile created a "win-win" business model: operators would pay nothing for the infrastructure and license; in return, they gave Movile half of the revenue generated by the applications. Recently, Movile has opened offices in Mountain California, with expanding to target the global Latino audience in mind, including Europe and the US. In June of 2012, Movile launched an HTML-5 based video service called ZeeWee TV. This Facebook-integrated platform highlights Latin American celebrities and news, and its content providers include MTV and Nickelodeon. In a single month, ZeeWee TV surpassed the 1 million user benchmark.
In Brazil, where many technology entrepreneurs are unsuccessful, Movile's history is an example of the university student turned entrepreneur who developed a unique product with large-scale potential. The three partners hold frequent seminars to pass on their experience to inspire new generations of students. Furthermore, Movile is positioned to grow even more in the coming years, as Brazil, which boasts over 250 million mobile users and growing, becomes one of the fastest emerging mobile market along with the rest of Latin America. The Brazilian market is also slowly shifting to smart phones, giving companies like Movile ample opportunity to develop and deliver ever newer and more sophisticated mobile content.
Endeavor and Movile (nTime)
In addition to the Global eMBA program, the entrepreneurs have benefited from local and global mentors who have assisted with various areas — from strategic planning to marketing to audits. They have also gained introduction to brand-name clients.
The Entrepreneurs have demonstrated commitment by participating at local Endeavor events and Global Entrepreneurship Week.

Water officials got raises amid rate hikes
Top officials of the Padre Dam Municipal Water District have received thousands of dollars in pay raises since 2011, even as ratepayers saw their water bills — among the county's highest — increase by 5 percent a year.
Twenty-two district employees earning more than $100,000 received raises over the past three fiscal years, according information provided by the district and the state controller's public employee compensation database.
Padre Dam officials said that while they did give pay increases to management, they took a number of other measures to reduce the district's deficit, including layoffs, freezing positions, labor concessions and deferring capital projects.
"The modest pay increases provided to the employees who remain here at Padre Dam, I believe, are justified as we demand more work from them as a result of the workforce reduction," Padre Dam General Manager Allen Carlisle said.
Critics said that the district should not be giving raises as ratepayers are still dealing with the aftereffects of the recession.
"We have had to cut back so much, and they are taking salary increases," said Gary Dale Kennedy, who unsuccessfully ran for the water board last year. "No private company would be able to stay in business like that."
Among the officials whose salary increased, Chief Financial Officer Karen Jassoy's salary increased from $153,000 to $168,000; Director of Operations and Water Quality Frank Kowalski's salary rose from $152,000 to nearly $164,000; and Carlisle, who was promoted from parks director in 2011, saw his base bay increase from $160,000 to $180,000.
In all, about 30 of 130 employees make six figures at the water district.
Padre Dam's water rates were already among the highest in the county, according to a 2011 U-T Watchdog survey. Officials announced in 2012 that rates would rise as much as 5 percent a year for the next three years.
Carlisle said that the district's rate increases are largely due to increases in costs from the district's supplier, the San Diego County Water Authority.
"It has a lot to do with — primarily to do with — costs of delivering water," he said.
Padre Dam officials said the raises were more than offset by the district's reduction plan, which was launched in July 2011 to help the district, which provides water and recreation services for 100,000 residents in a wide swath of East County, avoid a $3.5 million budget shortfall during the 2011-12 fiscal year.
As part of the plan, employees were required to pay an additional 3.5 percent of their salaries toward their pensions and pay the full share of their pension obligations, or 8 percent of their salaries, by 2014.
Additionally, employees will begin paying 10 percent of their dependent health care coverage by 2015.
The plan also included eliminating 26 positions — or 19 percent of the workforce — through attrition, retirements and layoffs, and lowered the salaries of newly hired employees.
Carlisle said the reduction plan has saved the district $750,000 in retirement contributions.
"Over the last two years, our district has gone into uncharted territory," he said. "The negotiated (reductions) far outweigh the increase of costs of doing business."

Everyone with a passion for cars knows about it, and most will do anything to attend it, but unfortunately for the general pubic, the Specialty Equipment Market Association trade show is a private industry affair. Of course, there's always the exception to that rule and someone will still find a way to get in. However, for those of you who play legit or just flat-out missed the opportunity to walk within the huge halls of new products and multitudes of cool cars, we'll do you right by ignoring the little knickknack gadgets and get straight into what we consider to be the coolest products of the entire show. For what it's worth, we do have a bonus list featuring five additional products, but you'll have to drop by our Web site at www.chevyhiperformance.com to see what they are.
What it is
Shift by Wire electronic shift controller for traditional transmissions, including 4L60E, 4L65E, 4L70E, 4L80E, 4L85E, and 700R4; with your choice of two mounting options, a rotary control dial, and a trick touch pad.
Why we like it
It's clean, and depending on what you do with your street machine, it can complement the cheeriest of cockpits, offering a look all its own, and it'll definitely separate you from the crowd.
What we'll do with it
Our FNG is putting his '66 Elco together, and given the street demeanor we have planned for it, this'll fit right in. The only foreseeable problem is deciding between the rotary dial and the touch pad. Do you have a preference? If so, which install would you rather see? Let us know at firstname.lastname@example.com.
TCItciauto.com · 888.776.9824
What it is
Integrated air compressor and wiring system for any AirRide system.
Why we like it
It's a self-contained, all-in-one unit, eliminating hours of wiring and plumbing. In other words, installing a complete system just got easier and can be had with your choice of 3- or 5-gallon air tanks.
What we'll do with it
We've been patiently awaiting a local Chevelle to become available for a complete install followed by a rugged day of track flogging. If anything, it'll make our install a breeze, and we'll bring you a full report.
Air Ride Technologiesridetech.com · 812.482.2932
What it is
Adjustable fuel log that can swivel 40 degrees for added clearance.
Why we like it
The adjustability alone makes this piece worthwhile. Add in the fact that moving the inlet will help eliminate any potential linkage issues.
What we'll do with it
We're constantly on the dyno, so rather than raiding our dyno facility at the last moment, we'll have to purchase a couple for ourselves. The good news is Aeromotive offers them for both Holley and Demon carburetors.

According to Pearae. the Black Government and he filed a complaint against the Freeport Police Department. The • Justice Department, Pearse now-says, decided to go- 3fter-Jf5ssau Ccffinly first but did not notify him of their decision. Del. Pearse said he first found out in 1980 that Freeport had not been included in the suit and was told he would have to sue individually. Pearse is represented by Larrj, Cumberbatch. a New York Cit^- Community at that time thought *hc should be named sergeant and they tried to speak to political leaders but. "nobody listened to them," says Pearse.

The list died in 1977 and a new civil service eligibility test Aas given. With a mark of 97. Pearse says, he was number H nn the list.

Pearse, who is 47, had planned to retire after putting in 20 years of service (June, 1982) but now says he »^1 "stay with this because 1 ^ 9 l d want to see it settled."

Unless you plan on driving on strictly dry pavement or gravel I would avoid these. Wet roads are the bane of these tires existence. They came on a used truck I bought so I figured I would give them a go for a little while. Only problem is I often have to drive in mud for work. To say these tires are useless in mud would be a gross understatement. These are for people that want to look like they are off-roaders. They weren't even that good in sand for that matter.

Had them on my 07 tundra and they looked real nice on them. It gave a very aggresive look on the truck. Size I had were 305/40r/22. Only problem was that the tires were horrible on wet roads but great on mud and sand. Great steering and stiff sidewall for heavy loads.

Rutland man shows no sign of slowing down at 103By Anders Ax
Staff WRITER | January 30,2013
Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo Edward Raymond celebrated his 103rd birthday Tuesday with a luncheon at The Loretto Home in Rutland. 01/20/13Edward Raymond is a man of few words. When he sat down to lunch at the Loretto Home on Tuesday, he was distinctly quiet, despite all the well-wishing from the other residents and aids he had just turned 103 years old.
When asked how hed lived so long, he laughed and responded dryly, I dont know. Minding my own business, I suppose.
Raymond was born on a farm in Colchester, and said that he had worked on a farm for most of his life and been interested in woodworking and crossword puzzles. Hed also worked as a custodian, a truck driver, served at Fort Sills in Oklahoma during World War II and was a handyman in the 50s and 60s in Burlington.
Despite retiring in 1976, Raymond would go back to work and deliver paperwork and run errands for his niece, Hazel Dunkling, owner of Rays Seafood Market in Burlington, until he was 92 years old.
He worked for her right up until he couldnt work anymore, Wayne LaBonte said beside his stepfather.
Raymond would often get on trucks with other delivery guys and ride with them all day until he was picked up. Riding on trucks was something he loved to do. One of his most favorite things to do at the Loretto Home was ride on the bus during their spring field trips said Anne Marie Seeley, Loretto Homes activity director.
LaBonte recalled the day that Raymond had to give up his license at 93 years old.
Let me just tell you, LaBonte began, It was the most unpleasant Ive ever seen him.
An unpleasant reaction from Raymond was alien. LaBonte mentioned that he couldnt remember a time where Raymond reacted differently than expected. He even said that he could almost predict him in every scenario.
LaBontes wife, Donna, said that Raymond wasnt private so much as he was really quiet and had never been one for big crowds.
The LaBontes said that Raymond would be the one family member to show up to a birthday party at least half an hour before anyone else and then leave without ever saying goodbye. And it wasnt for certain family members, the LaBontes assured.
He did it for everyone, LaBonte said. Youd look around and hed be gone, thatd be for anyone.
But that was almost Raymonds sense of humor. A sense of humor so dry, the LaBontes said, that if you missed it, it was instantly gone.
At Loretto Home, when Raymond walked into the meal room while holding a cane, residents greeted him with calls of Mr. Ed or grandpa. The LaBontes even call him gramps, after their children adopted the name for him. Even distant relatives call Raymond gramps now.
The LaBontes hypothesize that Raymonds aged-success has been because of three factors: perpetual patience, no stress and never completing a meal.
The LaBontes said that Raymond could eat 10 snacks a day 10 bites each, yet would never complete a meal.
After moving into Loretto Home four years ago, the LaBontes said Raymond never complained about being there. They also said they believe he is extremely content, comfortable and makes the best of every situation.
Everyone loves him here, said Cindy Johnson, who lives on the same floor as Raymond. He was always a joking guy.
Raymond, residents said, could be found puttering up and down the hallway on his floor or out on the sun porch. And though Raymond is 103, Beth Laramie, administrative assistant, said he doesnt use a walker.
Hes great, Laramie said. No walker, barely uses his cane. When you consider people that are 50 years younger that use a cane thats a good sign. Hes in pretty great condition.MORE IN Local & StateRecovery takes time, patience and a desire to change.

Presented by Baroque Northwest
a 501(c)(3) organization
Founded in 2008, our mission is to provide exceptional performances of sublime masterworks from the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. Our repertoire also includes commissioned works and traditional music from around the world, following a practice used by many Baroque composers.
Baroque Northwest is the presenting organization for the Grand Cru Baroque ensemble. The organization also presents workshops directed by members of the ensemble and occasionally by visiting artists. We are not a presenting organization for other ensembles. We are, however, interested in learning about individual artists. Please feel free to send us URLs of your work..
After sixteen years of a public concert subscription series, we are changing our performance model. We will still give public concerts in the Seattle area, as well as in Oregon, but our current focus is fundraising for recording projects and concerts based on each recording. Before recording each project we will advertise a public concert of the material. You may contribute to the recording projects by clicking HERE, and then choose the project or projects to support. Using an eighteenth-century model, the performance and subsequent recording will take place after we have reached our fundraising goals.
For 2014-15 our projects will be produced using an 18th-century model:
a performance (and recording) will take place once we have achieved our fundraising goals.
Our current projects (and accompanying concerts) are listed below. Please support our endeavors by clicking on the highlighted link below and make a tax-deductible contribution to the project of your choice. Think of your contribution as an investment in sonic art.
Recording 1: Michel Blavet (1700-1765), Troisième livre de sonates (1740)

Community rallies to support principal stayingBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | February 13,2013WESTMINSTER Buoyed by strong community support, Bellows Falls Union High School Principal Chris Hodsden is apparently rethinking his decision to leave.
Hodsden last month told the Bellows Falls Union School Board, as well as faculty, he wouldnt be seeking another contract once his current one expires at the end of June.
More than 80 parents and students at the school turned out at the boards Monday meeting to praise Hodsden and try to convince him to stay. Hodsden himself is a graduate of the school, which now has an enrollment of about 350 students.
The board authorized Superintendent Christopher Kibbe and Board Chairman David Clark to negotiate a new contract for Hodsden next year. Hodsden currently makes $92,935 a year, he said.
He had informed me earlier that he thought he wasnt going to be back, said Kibbe.
Kibbe said that he and Clark sat down with Hodsden on Monday, and that Hodsden told them he might be willing to think about returning.
Clark said Hodsden, a native of Bellows Falls and an alumni of Bellows Falls Union High School, was thinking about pursuing other professional challenges. He was looking into other things to do, said Clark, who added that Hodsden was a mathematics teachers before becoming principal, and also had a career as a Navy flyer after graduation from the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.
Hodsden didnt return a message about his apparent change of heart Tuesday.
But one of his strong supporters, School Director Laurie Rowell, said the community, as well as faculty and students support Hodsden and want him to stay.
Rowell said she had been contacted by many members of the public who wanted an opportunity to discuss Hodsdens tenure, and she said she did everything she could to move the matter up to the earliest possible meeting.
Rowell said that with two daughters recent graduates of the high school, and another graduating in June, she has seen Hodsdens work closely for the past seven years. Its all been positive, she said.
Rowell said that Monday nights big showing played a role in Hodsdens apparent change of heart.
She said several people were calling people and sending emails to get people out for the meeting.
He told me it influenced his decision, the amount of support, said Rowell, who added it was wonderful that so many students came in to lend their support.
Clark said Hodsdens versatility was a tremendous asset. How many people can fill in and teach physics, and then fill in as a sports referee.
Both Clark and Kibbe stressed that Hodsden had never submitted a letter of resignation.
Clark and Kibbe said that Hodsden or any future principal has to tackle the continuing issue of disappointing test scores. A recent assessment by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges contained many suggestions for improvement, Clark said.
Theres still plenty of room for improvement, Kibbe said, referring to the test scores.
I think Hodsden is a pretty steady hand on the tiller, said Clark.
He said that the school district as a whole is moving toward teaching school more scientifically.
And for a guy who already feels hes spread thin, thats one more burden and makes the job less attractive, said Clark, who said he hoped the pull of his hometown succeeds.
Its not a done deal until he signs it, Clark said of a new contract. Hes very, very talented.

If you lust for a hot hatch but need the versatility of a small SUV, Acura may have the perfect compromise: the RDX. Despite sharing its basic architecture with Honda's popular CR-V, the RDX exhibits a completely different -- and much more dynamic -- personality. Even with its tall roofline and higher ground clearance, the SUV behaves like a subcompact. The rorty, snorty 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder packs a substantial wallop, and the available SH-AWD system -- which aids handling by sending power to the outer rear wheel during cornering -- helps the already-poised RDX exhibit tenacious grip. Dynamically, the RDX is still quite impressive, but it is starting to show its age elsewhere. That's most evident in the cabin. Although the interior is chock-full of clever cubbies and storage areas (including a locking center console designed to hold a laptop computer), its aesthetic generally feels dour and dated. Buyers may be wooed by a number of advanced features, such as ELS surround sound, perforated leather seating, and GPS-linked climate control, which are typically found in more expensive vehicles, but the RDX's true party trick remains its on-road demeanor. The compact utility segment has grown increasingly crowded, but the RDX is one of the few that convincingly meld the soul of a sports car with the shape of a sport-utility vehicle.

You know all those other 100 quilts I called my "favorite"? Yeah well…I lied. This one is my current favorite. The quilt is based on a traditional quilt block that uses templates…but this one doesn't use any templates, is easy enough for a beginner, sews together quickly, and can use charm packs.
I started making it with two City Weekend charm packs but I got sick of waiting for yardage (it comes out later this month) so I made this aqua, grey and red version instead. It's going to be fabulous in City Weekend…and wouldn't it be great in Bliss? I might have to make that one too.
For now it's sitting at the end of my lackluster bed…hopefully this week I'll get my headboard made and have some pictures to share. I usually don't add borders to quilts, because 1. I hate sewing on borders, and 2. I really hate sewing on borders. This one however needed it, and I like the way the inner border ties it all together.
The finished size is: 60" x 68" with the borders, and 47" x 55" without borders.
How great is that binding? The fabric is a discontinued Moda fabric..it was from the sock monkey line awhile back. I had lots of questions about the zig zag stitches when I was binding…I'll post about it soon.

Last night I got to sing with one of my good friends, THE miss Taylor Swift.
My respect and admiration for her as an artist just shot through the roof while I was watching her go through 2hr set. Her voice sounded incredible, she played like a million different instruments, and she told great stories. That is easily my favorite thing about Taylor. Her storytelling. If you haven't seen her show or never bought one of her albums, you're seriously missing out. Of all the friends I have who play/write music, I've never seen anybody do it all with as much heart and grace as Taylor does.
If you were at the show last night, thanks for singing along to "That's What You Get". Ya'll made me feel very welcome!

The rocker arm is possibly the third most abused part in your engine. The connecting rods take the cake for the most abuse, followed closely by the piston assembly, but we like to think the rocker arms get the bronze for beatings when you're goosing the throttle in your V-8 of choice.
When it comes to building a performance engine, rockers can do more than simply transfer the motion of the pushrod; rocker arms can change rpm limits, rpm acceleration, and they can even alter your camshaft's overall behavior. Although simple in theory, rockers are actually far from simple in the high-performance and racing world. In a stock engine, we imagine the rockers live a boring life; basically just transitioning the movement of the pushrod, easily pushing down the low-pressure single coil valvesprings until the cows come home. But as your desire for horsepower increases, the durability and construction of the rockers you choose has to improve as well if you want the most from your engine combo.
Choosing the right rocker isn't the only thing to keep in mind, you also have to install them correctly, and sometimes, if you don't know what to look for, it can be tricky. As we change camshaft profiles, valvespring heights, and mill and deck our engine blocks and heads, those all factor into getting the rockers to fit properly and valvetrain fitment is crucial for a long-lasting engine combination.
According to COMP Cams, there are three ways to improve your engine's power output through a rocker arm change: Use a higher ratio rocker arm to increase overall cam lift and duration, make the rocker body stiffer so no lift is lost by flex, or lower the weight of the rocker so it can accelerate quicker. Increasing the rocker ratio is a way to trick your camshaft into thinking it's bigger than it actually is. By manufacturing rocker bodies with various arm lengths, this increases the ratio, thus increasing the final lift and duration at the valve. This is oftentimes what gearheads do if they need more cam but don't want to pull the engine apart. As valvespring pressures increase, rocker body stiffness plays a huge factor in getting the most from your rockers. For years, the engines in the NASCAR circuit used aluminum rockers, but relatively recently engineers have figured out that the amount of flex coming from pushing on super-stout valvesprings was reducing the overall lift of their camshaft, which prompted all the NASCAR teams to switch to lightweight, yet low deflection rockers so they could get every fraction of cam lift from their profile. Reduced rocker body mass is another way companies have improved rocker arm performance over the years. The more rpm your engine experiences, the more valvetrain mass becomes important. For a low-rpm engine, rocker weight/mass is not crucial, but on an 8,000- to 10,000-rpm screamer where the rockers move incredibly quickly, every gram counts.
Read on as we explore how to properly install COMP's Ultra Pro Magnum stud mount roller rockers as well as give some inside info from COMP Cams and T&D Machine's engineering department.
For good measure

Mall change draws questionsBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | January 02,2013Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
The Diamond Run Mall in Rutland Town is shown on Tuesday.The Diamond Run Mall is about to change hands, though nobody who could be reached Tuesday was sure what that would mean.
The Rutland Town offices were closed Tuesday and documents were not available due to the New Years holiday, but Town Clerk Marie Hyjek was in the office dealing with what she described as a large amount of paperwork pertaining to the transfer. All Hyjek would say Tuesday was that she had received a deed in lieu of foreclosure on the mall.
Thats where somebody, instead of going through a foreclosure process, turns over the property used to secure a mortgage, real estate lawyer Stacy Chapman explained. You just deed the property back to the bank or back to the lender.
Chapman, who has not done any work on the transfer of the mall, said the owner forfeits the opportunities to redeem the property that comes in the foreclosure process.
Pennsylvania-based Zamias Services built the mall in 1995 and sold it to holding company Gemini Real Estate Advisors in 2007, and Gemini retained Zamias as a property manager. Neither company could be reached for comment Tuesday. Information on the mortgage holder was not immediately available.
Rumors have circulated for weeks that either the mall was closing or that developer Damian Zamias intended to re-purchase it. Rep. Tom Terenzini, R-Rutland Town, said the former rumor sent him to the mall manager Jay Morel in mid-December.
He reassured me they were just rumors, Terenzini said.
Terenzini said the mall employed 250 people and that he hoped it would remain open. Selectman John Paul Faignant expressed a similar sentiment.
I knew there was something amiss and Ive heard rumors, but I havent been presented with factual information, he said. Its an important part of our tax infrastructure.
Tax collector Dick Lloyd said the mall was current on its property taxes.

The American Le Mans Series (ALMS) opens each season with its granddaddy of events, the 12 Hours of Sebring. Sebring alone has the history, the panache, and the importance to lend the series credibility. With an early March date, teams from all over the world use the opportunity to begin serious tuning for the Le Mans 24-hour race scheduled in June. The bumpy surface and crotchety twists and turns are the perfect proving ground to test car and driver. Indeed, 12 hours on the tortuous Sebring circuit are equivalent to 24 hours of abuse at La Sarthe. After a winter of tweaking, taking a car to Sebring determines whether those adjustments will stand the demands of endurance racing.
Sebring started as an auto-racing venue in the '40s, when enthusiasts scoured the country looking for venues to unleash their pent-up passion after four years of war. America in those days was full of young people trained in all things mechanical, bred on discipline, and honed in an environment of excitement and danger. After WWII, the country was also overstocked with expansive, lightly used concrete airstrips-a perfect crucible for the evolution of sports-car racing. The airport at Sebring was one such airstrip, where 58 years ago a bunch of like-minded car nuts launched America's endurance-racing tradition. Walking along the side of the track, you'll traverse fields filled with steel aircraft tie-downs intended to keep a B-17 Flying Fortress at bay. The undulating surface of the Sebring track is the legacy of the site's martial origins.
Corvette Racing arrived at Sebring the weekend before the race to continue its development program on the new GT2 C6.R. This car was launched last August to run a limited schedule in the ALMS, entering the last five races of the 2009 season. It was an ambitious move, as it would require a major shift from an established GT1 program to the dictates of GT2 just six months into the racing year. (The team had run the first few races and Le Mans with its existing GT1 entrants.) While the C6.Rs' success in GT1 had literally run the competition out of the class, the GT2 category was thriving and even contained several factory-supported teams. Corvette Racing naturally decided that GT2 had became the best place to showcase its hardware and abilities.
Using the Corvette ZR1 as a basis, the '09 GT2 car incorporated a normally aspirated 6.0L engine developed and built by GM's Wixom engine facility. For 2010, the car sports a 5.5-liter engine that puts it in compliance with the Automobile Club de l'Ouest's (ACO) future plans for one international GT class featuring those powerplant requirements. The smaller engine has had its share of teething problems, a fact that became evident during prerace testing early in the week. Fortunately the team managed to get them sorted out in time for the first official practice on Thursday.
Both the No. 3 and No. 4 Corvettes sported a new black-and-yellow, star-spiked livery, but apart from their appearance and the new engine, they were essentially the same GT2 cars that raced in 2009. Pratt and Miller, enlisted by GM to help develop the Corvette Racing program, usually produces two fresh chassis each year. But in this day of fiscal conservatism, it was decided that the '09 cars would be used for 2010 as well. In fact chassis 001 (the No. 3 car) is also the development chassis on which all of the initial testing miles were done to iron out the GT2 specification in Corvette guise.
