ASU Community Partnerships: Center for Rural Sustainability Solutions
The Community Outreach Center, Home of ASU's Community Partnerships
ASU Community Partnerships has been working for years to improve the quality of life for the San Luis Valley community. See a list of their major accomplishments here.
The mission of Adams State Community Partnerships is to connect University resources with the community in order to increase the quality of life for all residents of the San Luis Valley.
Sustainability 101 Summer 2015 Course
Over the Summer 2015 Semester, SEED Park, International and ASU Community Partnerships will be bringing a new course, Sustainability 101, to students and community members within the San Luis Valley. This class, taught by Dr. Nick Parker formerly of Texas Tech University, will empower attendees to take action and improve both their local and the global environment. Through instruction and examples of practical application, this course will grant attendees knowledge of key environmental challenges, worldwide viewpoints and proposed solutions to these challenges, and an education on how they can be a force for environmental change. It will be made available both to ASU students and to the general community. For more information, please see the syllabus or contact Karl at 719-587-8209
The Southern Colorado Film Commission
Adams State University Community Partnerships is proud to incubate the Southern Colorado Film Commission. The Southern Colorado (SoCo) Film Commission is an organization that supports and enhances the economy of Southern Colorado by promoting and increasing activity from the film, television, and media industry. The SoCo Film Commission is a member of the Association of Film Commissioners International. The Film Commission is also closely affiliated with Adams State University Community Partnerships, with the two organizations aligning their resources towards their common goal of economic development. Filming injects large amounts of money into their locations, as movie, television, commercial and other shoots create jobs, create customers for hotels, restaurants, and many other local businesses, and increase tourism in the area. The Association of Film Commissioners International estimates that a studio feature film with an average budget contributes $125,000 per day into their locations' economies, while New Mexico claims the economic impact in their state from filming in the year 2012 amounts to $673.8 million. The SoCo Film Commission represents Southern Colorado (particularly the counties of Alamosa, Conejos, Costilla, Rio Grande, Saguache, and Mineral) to the film industry, attracts more producers to the area and to make the area a more viable location for such producers to use.
San Luis Valley Museum Mural
The completed mural on the San Luis Valley Museum in Alamosa represents more than a year's work and centuries of San Luis Valley history. Although the mural was on the SLV Museum's exterior wall quickly, Adams State University's Community Partnerships staff worked with mural artist and ASU Art Department alumnus, Ian Wilkinson, extensively prior to his arrival. Several community outreach activities, including social networking, were organized in order to get community input into the design and concept of this public artwork. Sykpe sessions were held with Mr. Wilkinson, who now lives in Ashville, North Carolina, to explore what the community wanted from this project. ASU Community Partnerships staff, Karl Jolliff created an online survey as another means of obtaining design and concept ideas. With forty-eight responses to the survey, the overwhelming conclusion was that a representation of the entire San Luis Valley's past, present and a glimpse of what the future might hold would be the theme of the mural. The mural is intended to spark conversation and interest in exploring the San Luis Valley's history, landmarks and legends. "Ian Wilkinson's interest in the Valley was demonstrated by the countless hours he spent researching what to include in the mural" said Mary Hoffman, director of ASU Community Partnerships. Ms. Hoffman wrote the $20,000 funding proposal to the National Endowment of the Arts (NEA) after Ian Wilkinson returned to Adams State for an Art Department's Visiting Artist Lecture. The NEA is an independent federal agency that funds and promotes artistic excellence, creativity, and innovation for the benefit of individuals and communities. Adams State is eligible for NEA funding because of its excellence in the arts background, documented by its exhibit history, including community art exhibit involvement. Many local organizations provided support to meet the community NEA funding match requirement. The Alamosa Marketing District, San Luis Valley Federal, 1st Southwest Bank, The Floyd Dale Higel Family, San Luis Valley Builders, Inc. and the San Luis Valley Museum all provided support that leveraged the federal funding.
Adams State Pilot Recycling ProjectASU's
EARTH Group, Community Partnerships department, and Presidents Climate
Commitment committee have been working towards bringing a new pilot
recycling program to Adams State. As the first buildings adopting this
program, Porter Hall and Nielsen Library have both been equipped with
new, standardized recycling bins on each floor.
Students, staff, faculty and visitors in those buildings are asked to
deposit all discarded material in appropriate receptacles at the central location on each floor. Please pour any remaining liquid into sinks before recycling. Faculty and staff in Porter and Nielsen are asked to collect their discarded materials in their office trash cans and sort the material in the main stations on each floor when its convenient for them.
No trashcans will be located in Porter Hall classrooms, except for in the labs. Facility Services Staff will collect only discarded material from those central stations on each floor and the labs.
EARTH volunteers and workstudy will continue to collect recyclables from all other campus buildings.

GOP leaps on study of rising health care costs
WASHINGTON Overall spending on health care would rise as a result of legislation approved a week ago by the House, and billions of dollars in projected savings contained in the measure will be difficult to maintain, according to a report by a top official at the agency that oversees Medicare.
The legislation would expand insurance coverage to an estimated 32 million people who now lack it, according to the report, creating a demand for services that "could be difficult to meet initially ... and could lead to price-increases, cost-shifting and/or changes in providers' willingness to treat patients with low-reimbursement health coverage."
The analysis was issued by Richard Foster, the chief actuary at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, which is part of the Health and Human Services Department. The study was conducted at the request of House Republicans, who quickly tried to turn it against the Obama administration.
Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, the House GOP leader, issued a statement saying the study "confirms that this bill violates President Obama's promise to 'bend the cost curve.' It's now beyond dispute that their bill will raise costs."
But Brendan Daly, a spokesman for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said the report "shows that our health reform bill will extend the life of the Medicare trust fund by five years, significantly longer than any proposal in recent years."
The same report "estimates that our bill will cover 10 percent more of the population with less than a 1.3 percent increase in national health expenditures that illustrates a bending of the cost curve," he added.
Obama and congressional Democrats have said one of their goals with the legislation is to slow the growth of health care costs nationally.
With one exception, Republicans voted against the legislation when it cleared the House, and the GOP now is girding for a fight in the Senate, where debate on health care is expected to begin within days.
In the party's weekly radio and Internet address, Rep. Mark Kirk of Illinois accused House Democrats of missing opportunities to improve the legislation when they rejected Republican proposals to limit lawsuits and give states more flexibility to enact innovative changes.
Kirk, who is running for the Senate in next year's elections, said health care costs could be lowered by "reining in lawsuits" and allowing consumers to buy coverage from across state lines.
The report issued by Foster estimated that as a result of the legislation total health expenditures would be an estimated $289 billion higher in the coming decade than would otherwise be the case.
Separately, the report cast doubt on the claims of House Democrats that the bill is fully paid for. It said because of reductions in planned Medicare payments, acute care hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and home health care agencies "could find it difficult to remain profitable and might end their participation in the program (possibly jeopardizing access to care for some beneficiaries)."
Any attempt to remedy that problem "would likely result in significantly smaller actual savings" than estimated, the report said.

Read the accompanying blog: eight things you didn't know about colds
IN APRIL last year, Paige Villers was finishing basic training at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas when she came down with a cold. She struggled to shake it off. Then came a prolonged battle with pneumonia, followed by an immune over-reaction that killed her.
"She had symptoms that just looked like a cold or the flu," Villers's mother told reporters. "You hear of people dying of pneumonia, but it's usually older people. Not a 19-year-old in the prime of her life."
It turned out that Villers had been infected by an adenovirus, a family of viruses that normally causes no more than a common cold. But this virus was a nasty new strain called Ad14, which killed at least 140 people in the US in 2007. The real toll may well have be much higher, ...

Wednesday we dropped off the players at the River Plate field (another professional team) for their game.
We were not allowed to watch... apparently they think we are scouting away all their players so we took off for Palermo. We walked through the rose garden, the botanical garden and made a stop by the zoo. Then we met up with the boys again, had lunch and went to the MALBA art museum which is filled with Latin American art. We had a free evening and decided to relax.

Mentoring for Success Program
The Mission of the Mentoring Program
The Faculty Development Mentoring for Success Program (MSP) is inspired by the principles of Catholic social teaching to foster a high quality mentoring culture at UST. We strive to promote faculty well-being and success through a mentoring process that is illuminating and supportive. The Mentoring for Success Program reflects three University of St. Thomas convictions: dignity, diversity and personal attention.
Definition of Mentoring
Many scholars have attempted to define mentoring. One of the best definitions of mentoring is the following by Bernice Sandler:
Mentoring involves teaching, coaching, advising, supporting, guiding and helping mentees achieve their goals. Mentors should teach mentees what they need to know and what they should avoid.
Why being a mentor for a younger faculty member benefits YOU
Yes, you have a busy schedule this year, but here are some reasons to consider becoming a faculty mentor through our program:
- The time expectations are reasonable and limited through the program
- You'll receive training (brief) and support from our mentoring consultant, Buffy Smith, and have access to relevant books and resources through the Faculty Development Center
- You'll broaden your networks of UST connections by meeting other mentors and mentees during training and social events
- It allows you to stay abreast of concerns and issues facing junior faculty outside your department
- It provides an opportunity to exchange teaching strategies or scholarly ideas with energetic younger faculty
- You have a chance to give back: Think of the big and small ways that mentors have supported you over the years!
Requirements: If you are a tenured member of the UST faculty, you can sign on as a mentor for a junior faculty member. We are also looking for senior faculty to mentor mid-career faculty.
Expectation: You will make a 1 year commitment to your mentee and the mentoring program, and agree to meet with your mentee 2 hours (minimum) per month.
If you are interested in becoming a mentor, please contact Buffy Smith, Faculty Mentoring Consultant (email@example.com).

Tornadoes devastate South, killing at least 291
PLEASANT GROVE, Ala. Firefighters searched one splintered pile after another for survivors Thursday, combing the remains of houses and neighborhoods pulverized by the nation's deadliest tornado outbreak in almost four decades. At least 291 people were killed across six states - more than two-thirds of them in Alabama, where large cities bore the half-mile-wide scars the twisters left behind.
The death toll from Wednesday's storms seems out of a bygone era, before Doppler radar and pinpoint satellite forecasts were around to warn communities of severe weather. Residents were told the tornadoes were coming up to 24 minutes ahead of time, but they were just too wide, too powerful and too locked onto populated areas to avoid a horrifying body count.
"These were the most intense super-cell thunderstorms that I think anybody who was out there forecasting has ever seen," said meteorologist Greg Carbin at the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla.
"If you experienced a direct hit from one of these, you'd have to be in a reinforced room, storm shelter or underground" to survive, Carbin said.
The storms seemed to hug the interstate highways as they barreled along like runaway trucks, obliterating neighborhoods or even entire towns from Tuscaloosa to Bristol, Va. One family rode out the disaster in the basement of a funeral home, another by huddling in a tanning bed.
In Concord, a small town outside Birmingham that was ravaged by a tornado, Randy Guyton's family got a phone call from a friend warning them to take cover. They rushed to the basement garage, piled into a Honda Ridgeline and listened to the roar as the twister devoured the house in seconds. Afterward, they could see outside through the shards of their home and scrambled out.
"The whole house caved in on top of that car," he said. "Other than my boy screaming to the Lord to save us, being in that car is what saved us."
Son Justin remembers the dingy white cloud moving quickly toward the house.
"To me it sounded like destruction," the 22-year-old said. "It was a mean, mean roar. It was awful."
At least three people died in a Pleasant Grove subdivision southwest of Birmingham, where residents trickled back Thursday to survey the damage. Greg Harrison's neighborhood was somehow unscathed, but he remains haunted by the wind, thunder and lightning as they built to a crescendo, then suddenly stopped.
"Sick is what I feel," he said. "This is what you see in Oklahoma and Kansas. Not here. Not in the South."
Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley said his state had confirmed 204 deaths. There were 33 deaths in Mississippi, 33 in Tennessee, 15 in Georgia, five in Virginia and one in Kentucky. Hundreds if not thousands of people were injured - nearly 800 in Tuscaloosa alone.
Some of the worst damage was about 50 miles southwest of Pleasant Grove in Tuscaloosa, a city of more than 83,000 that is home to the University of Alabama. The storms destroyed the city's emergency management center, so the school's Bryant-Denny Stadium was turned into a makeshift one. School officials said two students were killed, though they did not say how they died. Finals were canceled and commencement was postponed.

WATCH: NORML's Paul Armentano Debates Anti-Marijuana Blowhard
Posted By dpacheco On April 1, 2010 @ 10:19 am In Politics & Public Policy | No Comments
How do you get to be Drug Czar of the United States without possessing a clear understanding of the issue? That's the burning question I have after watching this clip of Paul Armentano [1] debating former US drug czar Gen. Barry McCaffrey on MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan Show.
Armentano, co-author of Marijuana Is Safer: So Why Are We Driving People to Drink? [2] and Deputy Director of NORML (The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws), easily trounces McCaffrey, who offers an impressively fact-free rationale for keeping marijuana unregulated and in control of Mexican drug cartels. McCaffrey's argument seems to be that he knows in his heart marijuana will destroy the American family—facts, reason, and common sense be damned.

Falcoon had worked with the old SNK back in 1998 as a designer. He was also a card designer in SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash.
Falcoon started as a fan-artist doing renditions of different company games such as The King of Fighters, Street Fighter, and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. From here he grew quite a fanbase that made SNK Playmore take note. He was chosen to create the ingame artwork for SVC Chaos: SNK vs. Capcom.
Falcoon mostly contributes on character designs and is the one responsible for most of the new characters starting from The King of Fighters 2003 to the current installment of the franchise. He is the one responsible for the alternate designs and new characters seen in the KOF: Maximum Impact series, and is the KOF:MI series' producer and art director. KOF: Maximum Impact 2 is the first game he has produced and it is assumed that he will be focusing more in this series with NONA and Hiroaki taking charge of The King of Fighters XII.

Legrand Takes Its Solutions to NY's TribecaOctober 15, 2011 By Nancy Klosek
Press members, and later, specifiers, interior designers, architects and area integrators were treated to demos of the company's CEDIA-Expo-introduced solutions, which blended seamlessly at the 55 Warren Street residence with the architectural stylings of Leopoldo Rosati.
Showcased from Vantage was the InFusion software system, the living space's automation backbone, anchored in this installation by the Model TPT1040 touchscreen – a fixed, customizable in-wall device. Its being a fixed device is "mission critical, because the homeowner will always know where it is" as opposed to iPads, iPods and other control devices that are carried around the home, said Andrew Wale, Vantage vice president of marketing. The system's instantaneous response, simplicity and scalability were highlighted, along with the fact that the system can handle dimming for multiple and varied light sources including halogen and LED. "That flexibility plays well with the specification community," Wale noted. "But we're also on a path to create homeowner experiences that are valuable to the owner," he added. "The goals are simplicity in control screens and scalability so that the systems are ready for growth within their spaces and programmable through a single software tool."
In another area of the residence, Dave Hanchette, vice president of marketing for the Legrand Home Systems Division, put the new airQast wireless music solution through its paces. Shipping beginning Dec. 15th, it is a $329 40-watts-per-channel Wi-Fi speaker system that, through a free iOS or Android app, works together with a PC, smartphone or tablet as its music source, can be expanded up to six zones and will be sold in retail channels as well, as part of the brand's outbranch into the mainstream market.
Also showcased was at the press event was the Italian-made Bticino Axolute line of wallplates, dimmers, and switches. "Switches are utilitarian," said Bticino USA director Jon Null, "but we've made them a style and technology statement, which is a new idea here in the U.S." The wallplate range uses various exotic materials, natural woods and even Swarovski crystals, and there are models specified for use in yachts and aircraft "for floating and flying homes," he said.

The Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL) was created in May 2007 following the dissolution of the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL). The NWHL's board of governors had decided to take a year off to figure out how to make women's hockey more profitable. However, this left the league's elite female hockey players with no place to play. This dismal prospect mobilized the league's players. Over the summer of 2007, players from various teams held meetings to discuss the formation of several strong teams. However, the question of how to fund each team without any owners or any of the previous staff still loomed large.
The answer came in the guise of a street hockey game. Mandy Cronin, a goaltender with the Brampton Thunder, had been invited to play in a charity ball hockey tournament with a group from Birch Hill Equity Partners, an investment firm. Her goaltending led the Birch Hill gentlemen to victory and when she told them about the plight of women's hockey in North America, they were inspired to help.
Michael J. Salamon of Birch Hill Equity Partners not only provided financial backing but also laid the groundwork for a sustainable business model. The CWHL met with Mr. Salamon on a weekly basis and eventually formed a Board of Directors. With the assistance of the Ontario Women's Hockey Association, they drafted a constitution that would cement the league as a legitimate business entity.
The CWHL is distinct from the leagues that came before it because of its centralized vision. Eschewing the old ownership model, the league pays for basic travel, ice rental, uniforms and equipment costs of all five of its teams.

South Mountain Friends Meeting began in the mid1960s when a small number of families seeking a deeper understanding of the world and themselves began to meet in each others homes. We grew in number and in 1983 settled into the Newman Center in Ashland. Five years later we became a Monthly Meeting within the North Pacific Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends. In July 2000, we moved to our present home at 543 South Mountain Avenue. Later, in August 2001, we changed our name from Rogue Valley Friends Meeting to our present name, South Mountain Friends Meeting.
Amongst Friends, faith and practice are inseparable. Drawing on the Quaker testimonies of equality, peace, simplicity and stewardship we seek unity and integrity within our inner and outer life.
Meeting for Worship, or silent worship, is the central practice of unprogrammed Friends. We gather in silence to "wait upon" the eternal Spirit within and seek to put to rest the workings of the mind. Sometimes, out of silent worship, a person may be "moved by the Spirit" to share with the Meeting a vocal ministry as part of their worship. Friends value spoken ministry that comes from the heart and we value the silence that we share together. Spoken ministry is typically followed by a period of silent worship that allows each of us to experience ourselves within the Light of the message.
We invite all. If Quaker meeting is new to you, begin where you are and know that you are joining a great company of seekers of the past, present, and future, whose contributions to the world's good are rooted in silent worship.

When Liberia's first democratically elected female President, Madam Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, mounted the podium on the momentous day of January 16, 2006 for the reason of delivering her inauguration address, the nation, perhaps heaven and world at large stood immobile. Thousands watched from near and far. And so, she mustered the courage and vociferously spoke to the issues as they were and therefore won the approbation of almost all. Yes, she made outstanding and touching avows too that historians and political commentators say surpassed what her predecessors ever made. Above all, she was unmistakably unambiguous on the issue of battling corruption, a serious national cancer, and indicated that she would lead by example. However, seven years after that memorable time so roasted with facts and myths, obtaining circumstances continue to reverberate depicting a rather wooly picture, for which overseers are now asking whether the celebrated female president has given up. The New Republic reflects on the President's declarations to the nation and people, most especially on the promise of "I will lead by example" and many others.
That President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is practically seen to be a bit reticent on taking the most appropriate actions that curb ongoing unwholesome practices in her government is evoking public concerns about her ability to lead, or that she has given up.
It is no question that, according to accounts in the public and media, she came to power in 2005 at head of several others including the then most popular youthful political leader George Weah on pedestals of breaking away from the past.
Most besides as others have said, her pre 2005 election activities were enough to convince Liberians of her ability to stand out against the very ills she others accused past presidents of not confronting but condoning and had to pay the price for.
Before the election of 1997 which she lost to Charles Taylor and 2005 which she won, she adopted the nickname of "iron lady" in reference to her demonstrated commitment and proven ability to challenging authorities even at the peril of her life.
She damned the Tolbert regime for being corrupt and nepotistic when she was in her political prime and moreover demonized Samuel Doe and his People's Redemption Council comradeship as being unpatriotic, corrupt and undemocratic in their undertakings far before hell broke loose in 1989.
Not stopping there, the president is on record for saying that she broke away from Mr. Taylor and the NPFL whose formation she confessedly contributed to in the tone of US$10,000 to kick-start the bush war against Doe and his regime for not upholding what was agreed upon, and for diverting the cause of the revolution turning it into a campaign of cannibalism and massacre.
For many, these were sufficient reasons that in their view qualified her above the rest of the candidates that threw their hats in the race, hoping that she would be that leader that says what she means and does what is right, prudent and appropriately legally.
The inaugural promises
In keeping with past outstanding records of challenging governments for not doing much to better the lives of the people, ensuring that they benefit from their endowed natural resources, the President proved to the nation and the world that she was up for a change and this was shown in her maiden inaugural address to the nation.
In the rather drawn-out and elaborate speech that lasted close two hours before thousands of national and international guests, she made promises that sank well in the hearts and hears of all, that she would work to transform a dying nation and give back hopes to an already hopeless people that often times sought solutions to their problems from outside or above.
Even-though all of the issues that needed urgent attention did not slip her attention, but the president was so emphatic and authoritative when she outlined her plans in dealing with corruption, an age-old nightmare which analysts say caused Liberia its current problems of underdevelopment and political coarseness.
Before divulging her plans in tackling corruption and how she would proceed with dealing with other national developments, Madam Sirleaf gave a vivid description of the huge impact it has on the nation and people.
Said the president then, "Corruption fellow Liberians, we know that if we are to achieve our economic and income distribution goals, we must take on forcibly and effectively the debilitating cancer of corruption. Corruption erodes faith in government because of the mismanagement and misapplication of public resources. It weakens accountability, transparency and justice. Corruption short changes and undermines key decision and policy making processes. It stifles private investments which create jobs and assures support from our partners. Corruption is a national cancer that creates hostility, distrust, and anger."
Thereafter, the president went on recounting what she told the electorates across the country, saying "Throughout the campaign, I assured our people that, if elected, we would wage war against corruption regardless of where it exists, or by whom it is practiced."
"Today, I renew this pledge. Corruption, under my Administration, will be the major public enemy. We will confront it. We will fight it."
That besides she challenged Liberians and put her neck on the chapping board that she would be different from others who perhaps made big boast to the people but did nothing.
"Any member of my Administration who sees this affirmation as mere posturing, or yet another attempt by yet another Liberian leader to play to the gallery on this grave issue should think twice. Anyone who desires to challenge us in this regard will do so at his or her personal disadvantage.
She crowned the commitments with this assertion "In this respect, I will lead by example. I will expect and demand that everyone serving in my Administration leads by example."
The first term of office has come and since gone, but her critics are convinced that she far less than promised, claiming that she is not different from the people who postured.
What's at stake?
There is growing and billowing public debate and argument about the direction President Sirleaf is taking the country in the wake of what others referred to as glaring signs of her inability to stand out against the very issues she vowed to deal.
Others have also indicated that the kind of leadership ability that is seen in the president now-a-day does not commensurate with what stood for and spoke against, for which it is said she was elected in 2005.
What is clear is both the president's critics and supporters are unanimous in scolding her for doing much less to tackle the malfeasance that is eating up the government and is having spillover effects on the entire country.
Apart from series of audit reports released by the General Auditing Commission (GAC) in which several government officials are accused of siphoning entrusted public funds, both the American government and others in international arena have hinted that corruption was ingrained in the government, something to which the president has also consented but always endeavored to modify.
For example, President Sirleaf recently consented to the existence of corruption in government and in the larger society, although it was not her first time corroborating allegations of the inundation on a wide and unimaginable scale of corruption in her government.
She told a gathering in London that corruption was "systemic and endemic" in Liberia, Liberian, but smartly implicated every sector of society including schools, homes, churches, mosques as not been free as well.
She also used the time to defend the integrity of herself and larger family, challenging anyone to find fault with her or her family.
In its report released about two months ago, a corruption watch group painted a grim picture of the level of corruption in government, and made specific reference to the Liberia National Police as being in the driver seat when it comes to perpetrating acts of corruption. The government and police have denied though.
In the last report released by the GAC before the takeover of Robert Kilby as Auditor General, the GAC accused two former Superintendents, one of which was siphoned to a ministerial portfolio of acting outside of the law in the administration of the County Development Fund (CDF).
The GAC ordered that former Superintendent of Grand Bassa County, Madam Julius Duncan Cassell be made to account a good amount of money of the county's social development fund.
Last week, a member of the National Legislature at the level of the House of Representative made sweeping allegations of corruption in government, particularly on the acquisition and awarding of oil contracts to foreign investors.
The promises & Liturgy
Although, there is no indication of the president's involvement in acts of corruption which speaks to her affirmed "I will lead by example" pledge, observers have however hinted that she could not extricate herself to the margins in the wake of the show of reticence of take the prudently administrative actions, not only against accused corrupt officials but other issues that have constitutional implications.
Besides affirming her attentiveness to lead by example, the president threw out strong challenge to any of her officials who may think she was up for mere posturing.
She pledged then: "Any member of my Administration who sees this affirmation as mere posturing, or yet another attempt by yet another Liberian leader to play to the gallery on this grave issue should think twice. Anyone who desires to challenge us in this regard will do so at his or her personal disadvantage."
"These are extremely great promises made the first female president for which I appreciated her. My only concern is her ability to fulfill and practicalize them to the latter. It is one thing to promise and another to implement it in the face of growing and glaring developments as it is today," remarked a political commentator.
Why many say the president has not fulfilled in total most of her avowed promises is her quick defensive posturing than looking the weight of the allegations, some of which come with evidence.
The president is on record saying that they can prosecute people in the absence of sufficient evidence, but others say the GAC audit outcomes could be used in the court of law against the accused.
In fact, some of her officials are said to be using their connection with her to indulge in acts that do not conform to what she stands for and what good governance seeks to address.
For example, the General Services Agency (GAC) is at the center of tense confusion as a result of alleged malpractices the present management headed by someone so close to her is involved in.
Employees of the GSA recently staged series of protests against some of the ills the management is said to be involved, but the president is yet to comment or ask for an investigation.
During a chat with media practitioners before her departure for London, she was told some of her shortcomings and told what to do.
"My president, you have to improve your stance on reconciliation. You are weak in that area. You have to act against some of your officials who are not performing," she was told and one of her officials mentioned was Labor Varbah Gayflor.
More besides, the president was told to visit her officials surprisingly to see first hand what and how they are running the affairs of the ministries.
It may be recalled that former President Samuel Kanyon Doe dismissed David Farhat and replaced him with John Bestman for not being at office as early as eight o'clock when he paid a visit at the ministry of finance.
Others who frowned on the president's failing to act in line with her promise told this paper that former President William R. Tolbert was fond of sacking his officials whom he did not meet at office when he visited there.
Every leader has his/her ways of confronting nation policy issues, analysts say it is the worst thing for any leader to shield officials at the detriment of the country.
Although, Madam Sirleaf is hailed to some extent for responding in earnest to some of her promises such as the improvement of governance, decentralizing governance, she is being called upon to exercise strength in the area of taking appropriate actions against corrupt and ill- performing officials of her government.
In the wake of her not being active in addressing some of the topnotch issues that continue to dampen the image of her administration and by extension, the country, there are fears she must have given up on the great promises made to the nation in 2006 and renewed in 2012.

From 22 Feb 2013 to 9 Mar 2013
Reviewed by Gail Pittaway, 24 Feb 2013
Light, bright and boldly colourful, this treatment of teen life in Baltimore in the 1960s and of Tracy Turnblad's optimism in achieving her goal is simply gorgeous. Every part of the production is tight and crisp, from the wonderful cast, to the exceptional dancing (thanks to Sonja McGirr-Garret and Joel Benjamin Hewlett) and on to the whacky sets and effective LED screen as back-drop, displaying cartoon images reminiscent of the early days of watching black and white TV.
David Sidwell's expert direction runs the piece at a fast pace, while managing to bring out nuances of humour in the book and the lyrics that can surprise. In fact the timing of movement, lines and gesture are flawless in this production. Although set in 1960 and the time of racial segregation and with a genuine message of hope for an end to prejudice against differences of size and colour, the story retains a simplicity and optimism that works, for its very levity.
This irresistibly upbeat show is given a high-tech production thanks to a consortium of music theatre practitioners in New Zealand who collectively share the sets and costumes for touring shows. The Hairspray neon dress set for the last act is fabulous, as is the simple jail fly of asymmetrical bars, more like a veranda railing from the era. The plastic world of the TV studio, of the Corny Collin's Show, the teen bedrooms and Motor Mouth records are all suitably bright, with simple cartoon-like camera and props, all reminding us that this is fun, not real; but also that things like prejudice can be seen as just a bit silly, too.
Courtney Mayall holds the role of heroine Tracy and the core of the story with sweetness but more than a hint of body in that voice, projecting an energetic and sustained reading of the character. Her best friend, Penny Pinkleton ( Ruby Lyon), is equally appealing in her big glasses and bubble gum, as both girls move from 'not' to hot'.
Awhimai Huka as Motormouth Mabel gives a spine-tingling rendition of blues number "I know where I've been", backed by velvet-voiced Dane Moeke from New Zealand's Got Talent . Mabel iscountered by an equally impressive performance from Lisa Wiles as Velma Von Tussle, the villainess.
Other stand outs in this production full of them are Roy Snow and Mike Murphy Scanlon as Tracy's parents, Wilbur and Edna, adorably deplorable in their taste, triumphant in their love; Joel Benjamin Hewlett as Seaweed, whose hips seem made of material other than bone, they are so sinuous and busy! Then there are Corny (a suave Nick Wilkinson) and his dancers, including the hysterical Amber (Cassidy Garret) and heart-throb Link Larkin (Henry Ashby), and the black ensemble including a fabulous girl trio the Dynamites, straight out of Tamla-Motown. Finally, filling in all the parts of male and female authorities, mostly for laughs, are Tim Pollock and Mandy Faulkner.
As a musical this would be nothing without a tight orchestra and Victoria Brown conducts the small band expertly, from behind the screens onstage. Regardless of technology and sets shared with other companies, it all had to be assembled, adapted and tested. Hamilton Operatic Society should be proud of the team of musicians, dancers, actors, singers, choreographers, technicians and designers who have had to work together with David Sidwell to bring this joyful show to life.

Construction begins on new car dealership
Toyota-Scion dealership coming to Calallen
The tractors and shovels are signs that construction for the future home of Mike Shaw Toyota Scion has begun in Calallen.
Mike Shaw, a native Texan who built a dealership empire, operating six dealerships in Colorado, Utah and Texas, is coming back to Corpus Christi, where his children were born, to open the city's second Toyota dealership.
On Wednesday, Shaw met with local business leaders to break ground. Construction for the $9 million project has begun and should be completed by May or June of 2008.
The dealership, on U.S. Highway 77, will bring 60 to 70 new jobs, not including construction jobs, and is expected to generate 2,000-2,500 sales per year. The facility will be about 45,000 square feet.
Construction is being handled by Teal Construction, a Corpus Christi-owned general contractor.
Citing an economic study prepared by Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi economist Jim Lee, Shaw said the dealership would have an economic impact of $13.4 million.
"Increased local economic activity that is associated with the construction project and subsequent operation of the business establishment will also benefit local taxing entities by increasing their tax revenues," the study says.

Sacramento, Calif.
916 978 5100
Released On: May 22, 2014
The Delta Cross Channel Gates control the diversion channel near Walnut Grove about 30 miles south of Sacramento; that diverts water from the Sacramento River into a branch of the Mokelumne River. When the gates are open, fresh water is drawn from the Sacramento River into the interior of the Sacramento/San Joaquin Delta through Snodgrass Slough and the Mokelumne River; they also allow for boat traffic to pass. When closed, the gates prevent salmon from being diverted from their migratory route up the Sacramento River. Boaters are advised to check the status of the gates. The gates opening and closing times are approximate, since an operator must travel to the site to perform the change. The opening and closing of the gates generally takes 30 minutes to one hour. Information on gate operations can be accessed on Reclamation's Central Valley Operations website at http://www.usbr.gov/mp/cvo/vungvari/dcc_chng.txt or by calling 916-979-2194 or 916-979-0268.

Capacity Building - Humphead wrasse
credits: Marcelo Vasconcellos
Since the listing of Humphead (Napoleon) Wrasse, Cheilinus undulatus, on CITES Appendix II in 2004, FAO has been actively involved in the development of approaches and guidelines for the assessment of and management of the species.
In collaboration with IUCN Groupers and Wrasses Specialist Group, and funded by the Trust Fund Project "CITES and commercially exploited species", a stock assessment approach was developed to assist range States in the evaluation of Non-detrimental findings for the species. The approach combines a population model and a method for estimating stock density based on underwater visual surveys, allows for the representation of "grow out" of net-caged animals (a significant part of the trade) and can compute sustainable catch and its associated uncertainty.
The Humphead wrasse assessment model can be downloaded here (Ms Excel required)
Research is currently underway to refine estimates of the habitat area suitable for the species, one of the key parameters of the approach, using remote sensing and GIS techniques.
In addition, FAO is currently preparing technical guidelines for monitoring and management of live reef fish fisheries targeted to the species. The development of the guidelines was identified as a priority by range States during the Western Pacific Workshop on Policy, Enforcement and Sustainable Trade for the CITES Appendix II – listed Humphead (Napoleon) Wrasse, Cheilinus undulatus, held in Hong Kong, 5-7 June, 2006, and jointly organized by CITES, IUCN, TRAFFIC and WWF.

Several inmates of the Monrovia Central Prison who have been in jail for a protracted period of time without trial have expressed their frustration at the way authorities were violating their rights under the law.
Speaking to our reporter Wednesday, they argued that they have been in detention for more than a year on mere suspicion of committing various charges but have not been taken to court to test their fate.
According to the, such an act was in violation of the relevant sections of the criminal procedure law which say "Anyone that is accused of an indictable offense much be indicted and tried within two terms of court."
The detainees are awaiting trial murder, armed robbery, rape and property theft, among other crimes.
Aaron Lackey along with three others who are facing murder charges, said Wednesday that they were frustrated over the justice system in Liberia.
"We were charged in 2010 with allegedly killing a police officer. We have since denied the state' claim but are yet to be tried. We are too disappointed as to the way thing are going here. Try or release us because we are family people," he pointed out while en route to court.
For his part, rape suspect Prince Wright believes that the state has no case against him as he said he was wrongly accused by the victim's parents.
"Since January 18, 2012, I was accused of rape and I'm yet to be indicted by the state.
I'm only living in prison by God's mercy because the way out for me is unclear.
"It's painful for a person accused of committing rape or armed robbery, which are felonies of the first degree and capital offense under our laws are yet to be tried," he lamented.
"We must be judged in keeping with law, and if found guilty, be punished to serve as deterrent to would-be offenders," Wright told our reporter.
The Liberian government in 2009 admitted that it indicted about 200 people in pre-trial detention but has apparently done nothing to release or try them.
Meanwhile, the Johnson and Sasey Associates Law Film Wednesday filed a 25-count motion to force the government to release the pre-trial detainees.
According to them, the action by the state was a complete violation of the law especially where, as they said, the defendants are yet to be indicted.

''I've had the luxury all my life of having jobs where I got to feel like I was making an enormous difference in the lives of working people,'' she says, ''and coming to Planned Parenthood is like coming full circle. I'm serving the women who grew up in the same families I was organizing. It feels totally right.''

A documentary about former Texas governor Ann Richards is coming to HBO next week, after making the rounds on the film festival circuit.
"All About Ann: Governor Richards of the Lone Star State" is directed by Keith Patterson and Phillip Schopper.
According to HBO's synopsis, the documentary traces Richards' life from her poor, rural childhood, her days as a schoolteacher, and first stirrings as a politician, and on to being the second female governor of Texas.
That trademark shocking white hair is also said to be a hot topic in the film.
A cast of political heavy hitters and news pundits also weigh in on Richards' liberal legacy. Expect interviews from her family, friends, plus Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and columnist Liz Smith among many others. Judging by the short trailer that HBO has provided, her brashness will definitely be the starring character.
The 82-minute documentary airs Monday, April 28, at 8pm, with re-airings scheduled in the days after.
Richards died in Sept. 2006 at the age of 73 from complications related to esophageal cancer.

Modified Mustangs & FordsEvents
12th Annual Carlisle All-Ford Show - Northern Exposure
There was Something For Everyone at the 12th Annual Carlisle All-Ford Show
Heading to Carlisle, Pennyslvania, in early June for the Carlisle All-Ford show is something many Ford enthusiasts, myself included, look forward to each year. Sure, I'm "working" the event, taking pictures for this very article, as well as extra images for our Web site and file photos, hoping to find a few cars that meet our needs for future magazine features, and, of course, talking to vendors and car owners.
But while I've got one eye on my Canon's view-finder, the other is looking for parts. At this stage of our Factory Five Racing Roadster, we're still in need of some late-model Mustang donor parts, so I was on the hunt for a fuel-pump mounting bracket and a pedal-box assembly from a '94-or-newer five-speed Mustang. While both of these items proved elusive on this trip, over the years I've returned home with a deluxe woodgrain steering wheel, low- and high-note horns, pulleys and brackets, and more for the restoration of my '66 Mustang.
I'll find the parts needed for the Roadster project soon enough. Of course, if I had the money I surely would have brought home a new project to work on from Carlisle, too. There were plenty of finds in the car corral section as well as in the vendor area, including some rough Fairlanes, Mustangs, and Mavericks buried in the back of vendor spots that needed quite a bit of work. But for those with the skills, time, and money, these cars can easily be brought back from their current state to become killer Restomods or clones. I'm sure some of them made their way to new homes-just not mine.
Carlisle Events always has plenty of activities at the All-Ford show. This year's event included a 40 Years of the Bronco display, a special display of '66-'67 427 R-code and W-code Fairlanes and Comets, Ford's complete '07 model lineup, a Ford police-car display (including a way-cool Maverick K-9 unit), as well as the huge Fun Field display with just about every Ford vehicle imaginable for your perusal. From classic Fords of the '40s to trucks, Merkurs, T-birds, Cougars, and, of course, Mustangs, you'll need all three days of the event to check them all out.
Carlisle All-Ford's big event this year was the reunion between Chief Mustang Engineer Hau Thai-Tang and Al Eckstrand, the driver of the Lawman Super Boss 429 who entertained the troops in Vietnam. As a young Vietnamese boy, Thai-Tang was influenced by Eckstrand's visit and dreamed of working for Ford one day. Now, decades later, that "boy" was reunited with the car and the man who influenced him.
Bill Goldberg, famed wrestler and host of History Channel's Automaniac TV show, is now the current owner of the Lawman Mustang and was on site for this historic reunion. Other notable guests included Stacey David from Trucks! TV, with his Crazy Horse half-cab '66 Bronco restoration, and legendary drag racer Hubert Platt.
Don't miss next year's Carlisle All-Ford show, June 1-3, 2007. It's sure to be a great one.
Here's what you'd find at both ends of the Swap Meet spectrum if you were looking for an engine for your classic Ford project.

Health Cut Debate Continues In Madison
A hearing today in Wisconsin is dealing with proposed Medicaid cuts. Democrats are holding a hearing on package of measures aimed at cutting a 554 million dollar deficit in the government's health programs for the poor and the elderly.
If it's not approved on time, officials said 53 thousand recipients would lose their Badger Care. The Legislative Fiscal Bureau said 65 thousand people could lose their eligibility for Medicaid and 28 thousand of them could still have access to coverage from their employers.
Department of Health Services Secretary Dennis Smith answered some Democrats questions on the subject this morning. Among other things, the plan asks for a federal waiver that would move 215 thousand low income state residents to more economical health plans.

Heat up Your Garden Bed: Simple Tips for an Early Harvest
Posted By jmccharen On March 5, 2013 @ 9:00 am In Farm & Garden | Comments Disabled
As March rolls in like a lion, we're entering what some gardeners and farmers call "the hungry gap." This is the time when the ground is starting to thaw, but it's still too cold and dark to plant new seedlings. Meanwhile your root cellar is running low, and you've long since devoured all those dilly beans [1] and tomatoes [2] you preserved at the height of summer. Maybe you have a few parsnips left (in which case you should try this recipe for tea cake [3]), but that's about it until your garden starts filling your larder once more.
Do you want next March to be different? Using a simple method called a hot bed, which uses the heat from decaying compost to warm up a basic coldframe, you could be harvesting radishes and salad greens by now, and potatoes as early as April. That's right. I said potatoes in April.
Hot beds are nothing new—they were even used by the Romans. Hot Beds, a new title from Green Books [4] in the UK, shows you how to build these compost-heated coldframes, manage their warmth, and grow a variety of crops that will feed you through the early spring. By reviving and modernizing this ancient vegetable-growing method, author Jack First produces healthy plants that are ready at least two months earlier than conventionally grown vegetables, even in his native Yorkshire, England.This practical, illustrated guide has everything you need to understand about how to utilize this highly productive, low-cost, year-round, eco-friendly gardening technique. Straightforward explanations, diagrams, and examples show how the natural process of decay can be harnessed to enable out-of-season growing without burning fossil fuels or elaborate equipment. Below is a free sample of the book, including a diagram that shows you the basic structure of a hot bed. So get growing!

The world's first Bluetooth® headset with its own iPhone App.
Compatible with all Bluetooth® enabled mobile phones (2.0 and higher), Sound ID 5 Series Premium Bluetooth® Headsets combine the best industry features into one sleek and powerful headset, plus the refined sound quality you've come to expect from Sound ID.
Customer Reviews of SoundID 510 Earset - Mono - Wireless - Bluetooth - 33 ft - Earbud - Monaural - Open
Best Headset5/9/2012
Best headset well worth the $$. The pass through sound feature works great. It's set by the phone app and can be adjusted for tone and volume. Works like a hearing aid to assist rather than block like most headsets. The app works great with a Zio, doesn't work with a Milano. So may depend on the type of phone you have.
Sound ID 510 - Works well3/6/2012
I was concerned since my last BT headset (low end Plantronics) had lots of background white noise when paired with my HTC Sensation 4G. The Sound ID 510 has much less background noise. The sound quality is good and the headset is comfortable to wear. Battery life seems reasonable. You can listen to your media via the headset (old BT didn't support this). The headset is small and light which means it might be easy to loose. The android EarPrint app works, but is not really needed.
Excellent product.3/5/2012
I gave it to my fiancé to replace an older Blueant z9i which was good in its time. But wow, I always knew if she was in the car but when I last spoke to her, I had no idea she was actually in the car. The 3 mics work really well. I haven't tested all the features but she did tell me she was still getting used to the volume. She really likes it and that is what matters the most.
Very Smart headset.2/29/2012
Very nice product. It arrived on time and was easy to setup. I would recommend this to my friends.

Many long-term unemployed have discovered an ugly truth: You need a job to get one.
Jobless workers across the country have recounted tales of being written off by a prospective employer if they have been out of work for six months or more. And some job ads have explicitly stated that a candidate must be currently employed.
